Chapter 1181 - 1181: Qiqi Arrives

Elder Qing opened his powerless eyes, and when he saw the familiar figure of Liu Zixuan, he showed a gratified smile.

He spoke with a slight hint of a smile: "I didn't misjudge you."

Liu Zixuan stepped forward, nodded to Sword Venerable Ling Xiao, and sat by the bedside, "Even if you don't tell me, I would still ask. Right now, let's focus on healing you first."

"There's no need."

Elder Qing shook his head slightly: "This broken body, having exhausted its resources, is beyond cure and would only be a waste of effort."

"Zixuan, I've already examined him. Elder Qing's meridians are completely broken, and his dantian is severely damaged. I'm afraid there's no chance of recovery." Sword Venerable Ling Xiao also spoke.

"So what? Do you just lie here and wait to die?" Liu Zixuan spoke solemnly.

"What else can be done? I, along with the entire Profound Sword Sect, hope more than anyone that Elder Qing can recover." Sword Venerable Ling Xiao clenched his fists, filled with indescribable pain.

Liu Zixuan's lips moved a few times, then he slowly raised his head, staring at Sword Venerable Ling Xiao, "Then wait outside; I'll return Elder Qing to his peak condition."

"But..." Sword Venerable Ling Xiao understood Liu Zixuan's intentions, but such a task isn't something that can just be said and done.

He also knew that Liu Zixuan's medical skills were exceptional, but meridians and dantians are the foundation for martial artists. On top of that, Elder Qing is old, and ordinary medicine would not only fail to heal but would also harm his foundation and hasten his death.

"Even if King Yama comes to take a life, he must first ask for my permission!"

After speaking, Liu Zixuan made way: "Yiyi, you, Xiaoxiao, and Uncle Ling, please wait outside."

"Alright!"

Jiang Yiyi nodded slightly, took Xiaoxiao's hand, and left with Sword Venerable Ling Xiao.

"Yiyi, are you sure Zixuan can really do it?" Xiaoxiao asked.

"I don't know if he can, but I believe trying gives us half a chance, doesn't it?" Jiang Yiyi said with a slight smile.

...

Inside the room.

Elder Qing's lips moved and he spoke weakly: "Why don't we use this time to chat?"

"You can't just die on me; otherwise, no one will give me Peach Blossom Brew." Liu Zixuan teased with a smile, as the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles instantly appeared between his fingers.

With a single thought, they hovered over Elder Qing's body. As Liu Zixuan's fingers moved, each needle, as if imbued with some mysterious power, sank directly into Elder Qing's acupoints.

"I..."

"Don't talk!"

Liu Zixuan immediately stopped Elder Qing, the power of the Dragon Veins and the Holy Medical Scripture operating simultaneously. He placed his left hand on Elder Qing's forehead and his right hand flat on the dantian.

Moments later, it seemed as if a gentle breeze brushed over Elder Qing's body, which began to move slowly.

At this moment, Elder Qing, who had previously lost hope of survival, felt a sense of joy because he could sense a strong yet gentle force repairing his meridians and dantian.

It was unimaginable because in his nearly hundred years of life, he had never encountered such peculiar medical skills. He thought that Liu Zixuan's national medical magic could only heal some real diseases and injuries, but he never expected it could also heal the foundation of a martial artist: the dantian and meridians.

Time ticked away, with Liu Zixuan wholeheartedly repairing Elder Qing's meridians.

...

"You don't need to worry too much. Zixuan and Elder Qing have a deep bond; he's surely trying his best."

"But he just fought a great battle, and given the unstable situation now, I'm worried that not only will he fail to save Elder Qing but might also exhaust himself." Sword Venerable Ling Xiao sighed.

The Great Elder pursed his lips: "You should always look on the bright side. What if he manages to heal Elder Qing?"

"Do you think that's possible?" Sword Venerable Ling Xiao had no confidence whatsoever.

"Sect Leader, a little girl has broken into our Profound Sword Sect from outside." At that moment, a disciple ran in and reported.

Already troubled in mind, Sword Venerable Ling Xiao naturally showed impatience, waving his hand: "Just send her away; she's just a little girl."

"She is very strong. Although she hasn't harmed us, we can't get close to her."

"Then call the Elders Yang and Ming over," Sword Venerable Ling Xiao said.

"Elders Yang and Ming fought her, but both were defeated..." The disciple whispered, looking dejected.

To think, it's just a little girl.

"Could it be that she's a remnant powerhouse from the Netherworld Hall in Star Sea?" Sword Venerable Ling Xiao, learning that even Elders Yang and Ming were no match, stood up with an indescribable sternness on his face.

"I'll go check it out," Xiaoxiao said, taking out her red whip and storming outside.

"That girl, still as impetuous as ever." The Great Elder, having said that, prepared to follow.

But Jiang Yiyi stepped forward with a smile: "You all wait here for Zixuan; I'll go and see."

...

Outside.

Xiaoxiao gripped the long whip in her hand, standing outside the Peach Blossom House, gazing at the much shorter girl in front of her, and sternly said, "Do you know this is the sacred ground of my Profound Sword Sect? How dare a little girl like you run wild here!"

"I really hate it when people call me a 'little girl.'

"Huh..." Xiaoxiao sneered: "Or should I call you Auntie instead?"

"You can call me Seventh Lady!"

This intruder was, naturally, Qiqi.

"Hahaha." Xiaoxiao laughed exaggeratedly, gesturing at Qiqi's height, and mockingly said: "You're not even one and a half meters tall, you want to be called Seventh Lady? Should I be called granny then?"

"I'm here to find my brother; I don't want to fight. Please step aside!" Qiqi's face was full of displeasure, but Liu Zixuan had previously told her that the Profound Sword Sect and Lingxiu Village were friends, so she shouldn't fight.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered sneaking in; she would have charged in.

"Your brother? Who?" Xiaoxiao folded her arms, showing no intention of letting her through.

"Liu Zixuan!" Qiqi said and started to walk inside.

Pa!

Before getting close, Xiaoxiao cracked her whip on the ground: "Did I say you could go in?"

"I said, I don't want to fight. Don't force me!" Qiqi raised her head, eyes filled with coldness.

For some reason, when Xiaoxiao made eye contact with Qiqi, her heart involuntarily trembled twice.

Her lips moved slightly: "I wasn't aware that Liu Zixuan had a sister. What if you're sent by enemies?"

"Anyone in the world could be an enemy, but Qiqi is never an enemy of my brother." As Qiqi spoke, she reached out, snatching Xiaoxiao's whip.

"Give me back my whip."

"Get out of my way, and I'll return it to you!"

"I..."

What an honor for the little princess of the Profound Sword Sect to face such a threat. Her face turned red as she assumed a fighting stance: "You dead little girl, would you believe it if I said I'd make you leave lying down?"

Qiqi turned her head, "Are you sure you want to fight?"

"I'm sure..."

As soon as Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, a heavy force swept over, and with a thud, she found herself lying on the ground.

Qiqi looked down from above and asked: "Want to continue?"
