"Elder Master Huang's condition has worsened?" Zhang Wei asked.
Huang Qingshan nodded, not hiding anything. After all, Zhang Wei was involved in the treatment and was a key person.
"A while ago, my company prepared some medicine that managed to suppress Elder Master Huang's condition. However, recently, the Huang family encountered a danger, and Elder Master Huang was forced to act, which led to his condition deteriorating."
"The Huang family encountered danger? Holy hell, is that true?! Who is so audacious to even dare attack the Huang family's stronghold?"
The one who spoke was Zhang Chao. He had eavesdropped on the phone call between Huang Qingshan and Zhang Wei. Upon hearing that the Huang family was in danger, Zhang Chao's face was filled with shock. In the realm of ghost exorcism in Great Xia, there was a saying: 'Southern Mao, Northern Ma.' The representatives of Southern exorcists were from the Maoshan sect, while the North had the 'Chu Ma Xian' (immortal summoners). The relationship between the two was fiercely competitive.
As a descendant of the Maoshan sect, Zhang Chao was naturally well aware of the Chu Ma Xian and the Five Great Families of the Northeast behind them. Their strongholds were places that even 'Town Guard' level experts wouldn't dare provoke lightly, all because of the presence of their respective Elder Masters.
And now, the Huang family had been attacked.
"Which bastard is this? Holy hell, even though the Huang family lost one Elder Master and another is injured, they shouldn't be attacked at their doorstep!" Zhang Chao exclaimed in shock.
Huang Qingshan, on the other end of the phone, heard Zhang Chao's voice. He was initially surprised but quickly recognized it and replied, "We are also very surprised. No one expected that after injuring Elder Master Huang, someone would openly attack. If Elder Master Hu Ba hadn't arrived in time, Elder Master Huang might have died. However, it's not entirely bad news. At least we know that the one who injured Elder Master Huang wasn't just one person, but two."
Upon hearing this, even Zhang Wei and Zhang Chao were astonished. Those who could injure Elder Master Huang and force Elder Master Hu Ba to act must be of 'Town Guard' level. In other words, they were...
"Two Town Guard level experts?" Zhang Chao exclaimed again.
Zhang Wei also spoke, "Two Town Guard level experts barging into the Huang family, are they trying to annihilate them? Who did the Huang family provoke? Captain Huang, who are those two Town Guard level experts? With such strength, they shouldn't be unknown, right?"
"Ahem, I don't know who they are." Huang Qingshan coughed awkwardly. "After the incident, we investigated, but we couldn't find any matches in our database. Those two Town Guard level experts seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. And we still haven't figured out why they would go to such lengths to attack the Huang family and the Elder Master Huang."
"The investigation is ongoing, and the other five families of the Northeast are also taking this matter very seriously. They are preparing to invite their own Elder Masters to investigate."
Before he could finish, Huang Qingshan continued, "The investigation is definitely necessary, but the immediate priority is to save Elder Master Huang. As long as he recovers, he won't fear any attackers. So, Zhang Wei, what do you think..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Wei, hearing Huang Qingshan's words, naturally understood his intention and responded first, "After my exchange student period ends, I will go to that place to find medicine for Elder Master Huang. However, after I return, I'll need a few days to prepare. After all, you all say that place is dangerous. I'll at least need to leave some last words or a will."
"Also, Captain Huang, let's be clear beforehand, I can't guarantee I'll find the medicine."
Huang Qingshan was overjoyed and nodded, "Haha, you say that. Zhang Wei, we will definitely give you time to prepare. A will is not necessary. We do want to save Elder Master Huang, but your life is also important. This is what Elder Master Huang asked me to convey to you today."
"That is, when you go to that place, if there is a real life-threatening danger, don't take risks, just retreat. It's okay if you can't find the medicine. Everything is a matter of fate."
Zhang Wei nodded upon hearing Elder Master Huang's words conveyed by Huang Qingshan.
Immediately after, Huang Qingshan said again, "Oh, right, was that Zhang Chao from the Maoshan sect speaking just now? Then, is Master Wunian also nearby?"
"Amitabha, this humble monk is here. Is Donor Huang Qingshan looking for this humble monk?"
"As expected, Master Wunian is also here. That's perfect, it saves me from making another call."
Huang Qingshan was not surprised. The combination of Zhang Wei and Zhang Chao was well-known in Great Xia recently. While Xiao Xuan boasted about Zhang Wei, he also praised the trio of Zhang Wei, Zhang Chao, and Wunian together.
Immediately, Huang Qingshan said, "Master Wunian, you will also participate with Zhang Wei. It was originally planned for you and Zhang Wei to go together so you could look out for each other. Now that Director Sheng has agreed to Zhang Wei going, do you want to go? If so, you will go together."
Wunian heard this and, without hesitation, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Elder Master Huang is a benevolent person. This humble monk will naturally not shirk his duty to save him."
"Alright, then I will add Zhang Wei and you to the list."
Afterward, Zhang Wei chatted with Huang Qingshan for a while longer, discussing the situation of the second, third, and fourth batches of people who had gone, and then they ended the conversation.
...
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Northeast Defense Department.
After hanging up the phone, Huang Qingshan was in a very good mood. He immediately called the head of the Huang family and informed him of the news.
At the same time, he summoned his subordinate:
"Xiao Liu, Zhang Wei and Master Wunian have both clearly agreed to participate in this mission. Please make arrangements and draft the list of participants for tonight. Remember, this is Elder Master Huang's last hope. If even Zhang Wei fails, then..."
Huang Qingshan didn't finish his sentence and instead said sternly, "Therefore, you must take this seriously and select the most qualified personnel for the list. Whether Elder Master Huang can survive depends on this."
"Yes!"
Immediately after, his call to the head of the Huang family was connected, and he heard coughing from the other end:
"Cough, cough... Huang Qingshan, why are you looking for me? Have you got any results from the investigation? Or is it about Zhang Wei's participation?"
"It's the latter. I just called Zhang Wei, and he agreed to go to that place after returning to the country. By the way, are you alright? I heard you were also seriously injured during the attack on the Huang family."
"Cough, cough, cough, more than seriously injured. If Elder Master Hu Ba hadn't come to save me, I would have died at home. Alas, it's laughable, the dignified head of the Huang family, almost killed in his own home."
The head of the Huang family coughed violently and continued, "But you've brought me good news. I feel much better now, hahaha, cough cough cough cough..."
"Stop joking around. Let's talk business. Zhang Wei has agreed, and I've asked Xiao Liu to arrange the participant list. What about you? Will your Huang family also find some people to be on the list?"
