"Hmph?"
The old man looked at the Medicine Saint with confusion. After a long time, he found nothing unusual on the Medicine Saint's body.
Only then did he reluctantly believe the other party's words.
Following that, he suddenly smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm not here to be your enemy. I want you to help me look at my injuries."
As he spoke, the old man removed the bandage on his chest, revealing a long wound.
It could be seen that the wound had been carefully treated, but it was still festering and inflamed. It was hard to imagine such a wound appearing on a Heaven-tier powerhouse.
After all, Heaven-tier powerhouses were extremely powerful and could use spiritual energy to control their injuries, preventing them from worsening. However, the other party clearly could not do so now.
Seeing the Medicine Saint's astonished expression, the old man said grimly, "I can confirm that this is not poison. It's like a kind of energy that has been constantly preventing my spiritual energy..."
Upon hearing this, the Medicine Saint glanced at the wound again and then slowly said, "You are right. Your injuries are somewhat similar to Long Xuefeng's, but yours are much lighter..."
The Medicine Saint stated that the reason why so many doctors were helpless with Long Xuefeng's injuries.
Firstly, because the injuries were too severe.
Secondly, it was because there was a mysterious force within his body that hindered recovery.
And this force was essentially very similar to the energy present in the old man's wound.
Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Medicine Saint, do you have a way to treat my injuries?"
The Medicine Saint nodded and looked at him, saying, "Yes, but why should I help you?"
Things were different now. He already knew that the other party was a traitor to the Hidden Organization.
Furthermore, after knowing the relationship between Yao Bao'er and Ye Cangtian, he was essentially on Ye Cangtian's side.
If he helped the other party, wouldn't he be healing a powerful enemy for Yao Bao'er and the others?
What's more, he had just sensed a trace of killing intent emanating from the other party. It was clear that the other party had also wanted to kill him earlier.
The Medicine Saint did not want to act for such a person.
On the other hand, the old man, hearing the Medicine Saint's words, knew that the other party was still angry with him.
So he quickly smiled and said, "Medicine Saint, as long as you help me heal, I promise I will never make a move on Medicine King Valley again, no matter what. And consider it a favor owed to you, which I will definitely repay in the future."
He had no choice. He had tried all sorts of methods, but none could stop the spread of the wound. This was what made him panic.
If in a while, the wound spread to a life-threatening extent, wouldn't it be too late for everything?
Therefore, as soon as he heard that the Medicine Saint had a way to treat it, his tone lowered a few degrees, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was begging.
"Alright."
Listening to the old man's words, the Medicine Saint finally nodded.
He did not want to do this, but he also knew that the other party was cruel and ruthless. If he did not treat him, he would definitely offend him, leading to the other party attacking Medicine King Valley.
So it would be better to take the opportunity to curry favor. This way, when he took Yao Bao'er away from the Hidden Organization in the future, the other party would not make things too difficult.
As for Ye Cangtian, he did not need to worry about him.
Ye Cangtian could fight the old man and had a certain ability to protect himself. Coupled with Old Long's presence, his safety should be guaranteed.
...
Hidden Organization, Dragon City.
Dongfang Mingyue was in her office. After finishing some documents, she stretched lazily by the window.
She was originally trying to relieve her body's fatigue, but as she looked at the night, a figure appeared in her mind.
It had been at least eight or nine months since Ye Cangtian left.
During this time, she had received very little news from him.
One was that he had safely arrived in Jinling City, and the other was that Yuwen Sheng had been forced to commit suicide.
There was also a notification from Ye Cangtian.
If anyone with abolished cultivation came to demand the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, they were to be made to work for the Hidden Organization, and the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir was to be given based on the situation.
Only these three letters, and no others.
Because of this, she was extremely worried about the situation of Ye Cangtian and the other person.
After all, the Western Region was full of dangers. Even when Old Long was at his peak, he had led a powerful team to the region and barely survived. Now, with only Ye Cangtian and Old Long, she was truly uneasy.
Moreover, there was a traitor along the way, ready to strike at any time!
"Sigh! This darn little brother!"
"Doesn't he know that his sister is worried about him and can't write a few more letters?"
As she thought, Dongfang Mingyue sighed and muttered to herself.
As the words left her lips, Dongfang Mingyue's expression instantly turned cold. With a shake of her hand, a long sword appeared, and she turned around, vigilantly watching the direction of the door.
Just now, she had sensed a presence outside the door.
She knew it was nighttime, and most of the people in the Hidden Organization had already left. She had even let her assistant, Feifei, go home.
It could be said that very few people came to her office.
The most crucial point was that this person had managed to reach the door silently, which meant that his strength could not be underestimated.
Therefore, Dongfang Mingyue instinctively classified him as a villain.
Creak!
As the door opened, a figure slowly walked in. Dongfang Mingyue had already raised her long sword, but before she could stab, she froze.
The person who walked in had a very familiar face, one that had just appeared in her mind.
Wasn't it Ye Cangtian?
He had just returned with Old Long and saw that the light in Dongfang Mingyue's office was still on, so he came to see her and report his safety.
"Uh..."
"Sister Mingyue, I know I haven't returned for a long time, and you miss me dearly, but I really can't handle this way of greeting me!"
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue holding her long sword, Ye Cangtian was also stunned for a moment, then he chuckled with a mix of tears and laughter.
"You little brat, are you looking for a beating!"
"You scare me as soon as you get back, let me see how I deal with you!"
Dongfang Mingyue immediately put away her long sword, walked up angrily, and reached out to grab Ye Cangtian's ear.
But how could Ye Cangtian let her succeed? He dodged her attack with a flash, which only made her more annoyed.
However, Dongfang Mingyue did not pursue. Instead, she put her hands on her hips and said sternly, "You little brat, do you know how worried I was about you!
If you didn't come back soon, I might have personally gone to the Western Region..."
Hearing Dongfang Mingyue's resentful voice, Ye Cangtian's heart felt warm, and a trace of guilt arose.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister Mingyue, please don't be angry. Your little brother wanted to write more letters, but I was helpless. Besides, there are few people in the Western Region, so it's hard to entrust letters."
"Hmph!"
Dongfang Mingyue snorted softly. She could barely accept this explanation.
Then she returned to her chair, crossed her legs, and said impatiently, "Alright, since you're back, report what happened along the way truthfully!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded repeatedly and told her everything that had happened along the way.
When Dongfang Mingyue heard that Ye Cangtian had spent half a year to resolve the Blood Burst of the Blood Pool Venerable, and had benefited from the misfortune, she was both worried and envious.
And when she heard that Ye Cangtian had fought alone with the traitor of the Hidden Organization, she nervously clenched her fists.
After all, that was a Heaven-tier powerhouse. Even with his cultivation greatly increased, Ye Cangtian was only a peak ninth-level master, and there was still a gap between them.
Alas!
Hearing the end, Dongfang Mingyue sighed and said, "Forget it, if that traitor ran away, he ran away. There will surely be opportunities to confront him in the future.
It's just a pity that we couldn't persuade Medicine King Valley to join the Hidden Organization this time."
Ye Cangtian nodded. He did not reveal the relationship between Yao Bao'er and the Medicine Saint, lest she make use of it.
Then Ye Cangtian seemed to remember something and quickly asked, "By the way, Sister Mingyue, after I left, did Haotian or Chenyi leave?"
Dongfang Mingyue instantly understood what Ye Cangtian meant.
Who left meant who was the traitor.
Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly again, "Alas! Both of them left, and they left one after another. Neither of them has returned to this day..."
