Hit it up
She said solemnly, "Qisheng, the sealing power within Zhao Yuwei's body needs time to slowly dissipate. Before she wakes up, why don't you temporarily stay at my Qingxin Sect?"
Liu Qisheng was startled upon hearing this, then showed a hint of hesitation.
He secretly pondered, "Staying at the Qingxin Sect is a good idea; I can observe Zhao Yuwei's condition up close. However, this might also easily arouse suspicion..."
After much deliberation, Liu Qisheng nodded in agreement, "Then I thank Senior Sister Fangyi."
A few days later, in the afternoon, Liu Fangyi and Liu Qisheng were playing chess in the pavilion.
The two exchanged moves, and the game gradually entered a critical stage.
Liu Fangyi's slender fingers picked up a white piece and gently placed it on the board, making a crisp sound.
Just then, a Disciple ran over hurriedly, reporting breathlessly, "Senior Sister Fangyi, Bai Junhao and his party are requesting an audience!"
Liu Fangyi frowned upon hearing this, turned to Liu Qisheng, and whispered, "Qisheng, you should avoid them for now."
Liu Qisheng's heart tightened, and he quickly got up and hid behind the rock garden behind the pavilion.
He squatted down, held his breath, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the movements in the pavilion.
He saw Liu Fangyi looking displeased, and she said coldly, "My Qingxin Sect has always stayed out of the conflict between righteous and demonic factions. What are they doing here?"
Hearing this, Liu Qisheng secretly mused, "It seems Senior Sister Fangyi has some reservations about the conflict between righteous and demonic factions. It makes sense; the Qingxin Sect has always kept to itself, and being suddenly drawn into this dispute is indeed unpleasant."
Just then, a thought flashed in Liu Qisheng's mind, "Wait, Bai Junhao is visiting... Could he have been poisoned by Xiao Feng?"
Thinking of this, he quietly followed the group heading to the Great Hall, preparing to investigate.
Meanwhile, in the Great Hall, Xuan Qing's face darkened after hearing Liu Heguang say he couldn't cure him, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth, turned around, and walked down the mountain.
"This Liu Heguang is truly timid and afraid of trouble!" Xuan Qing muttered as he walked, "Bai Junhao is a man of the Righteous Path; he's not even willing to step up and save him. What justice is there to speak of?"
The more Xuan Qing thought about it, the angrier he got, and his steps quickened.
Before long, he arrived at the foot of the mountain where Bai Junhao and the others were temporarily staying.
As soon as Xuan Qing entered the door, he shouted loudly, "That coward Liu Heguang, he's not willing to treat you!"
Bai Junhao's face instantly turned gloomy upon hearing this.
He slowly stood up, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Oh? Is that so?" Bai Junhao sneered, "It seems the Qingxin Sect doesn't hold us in high regard."
He slowly walked to the window, looked at the distant mountain peaks, and said in a sinister tone, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. If I die, I'll make everyone be buried with me!"
As Bai Junhao said this, his right hand unconsciously clenched the window frame, his knuckles turning white.
The others in the room were instantly scared pale upon hearing this.
Some couldn't help but gasp, while others began to tremble.
Bai Junhao noticed everyone's reaction and quickly waved his hand, forcing a smile.
"Haha, just kidding, don't take it seriously," he said, pretending to be relaxed, "How could I do such a thing?"
Despite Bai Junhao saying this, the atmosphere in the room remained very heavy.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak rashly.
After a long while, someone cautiously asked, "Then, what should we do now?"
Bai Junhao pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Qingxin Sect is unwilling to help voluntarily, we can only force our way up the mountain."
"Force our way?" someone exclaimed, "Isn't that bandit behavior?"
"Hmph, right now my life is what matters!" Bai Junhao snorted, "Besides, we aren't going to rob them; we just want to ask them to step up and save me."
After a fierce discussion, everyone finally agreed to Bai Junhao's proposal.
They decided to go up the mountain overnight, find Liu Heguang directly, and force him to step up and save him.
Meanwhile, Liu Fangyi on the mountain had already learned of Bai Junhao and the others' plan.
She was so angry her face turned green, and her fists were clenched tightly.
"This is outrageous!" Liu Fangyi angrily rebuked, "How can the people from Liuhuo Mountain Manor do such bandit behavior? Do they have no shame?"
Liu Heguang, who was standing nearby, showed a troubled expression upon hearing this.
He said in a low voice, "Little Sister Fangyi, should we inform the other Disciples and prepare for defense?"
Liu Fangyi was about to speak when she suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed.
She turned to Liu Heguang and asked, "Senior Brother Heguang, where are your wife and daughter now?"
Liu Heguang was startled upon hearing this, and his face immediately changed dramatically.
He suddenly stood up and said anxiously, "Oh no! They're still staying down the mountain!"
Seeing Liu Heguang's anxious look, Liu Fangyi sighed and said, "Senior Brother Heguang, for the safety of your wife and daughter, I'm afraid we can only compromise."
Liu Heguang heard this and struggled with his emotions for a long time.
Finally, he nodded helplessly.
Just then, the people from down the mountain had arrived in a large group in front of the Qingxin Sect's mountain gate.
Bai Junhao stood at the front, his face pale, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"Liu Heguang!" Bai Junhao shouted loudly, "Get out here!"
Not long after, Liu Heguang appeared at the mountain gate. He looked at Bai Junhao, sighed, and said, "Brother Bai, since you are sincerely seeking medical treatment, please come in."
Bai Junhao was startled upon hearing this, then overjoyed. He quickly followed Liu Heguang through the mountain gate.
Upon arriving at the medical hall, Bai Junhao impatiently took off his upper garment, revealing his injuries. He saw that the right half of his body had turned a strange black color, with some small cracks on the skin, looking very frightening.
Liu Heguang couldn't help but gasp upon seeing this scene. He examined it carefully, and his face grew increasingly grim.
"Brother Bai..." Liu Heguang spoke with difficulty, "This... I'm afraid half of your flesh has already died. I... I really can't do anything."
As Liu Heguang said this, his eyes were full of shock and helplessness.
His hands trembled slightly, clearly frightened by Bai Junhao's injuries.
Bai Junhao's face instantly turned deathly pale upon hearing this.
He staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.
"How could this happen..." Bai Junhao murmured to himself, his eyes full of despair.

Just then, Xuan Qing suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of certainty, "Wait, I think the ginseng fruit can definitely save Brother Bai!"
Liu Heguang couldn't help but give a wry smile upon hearing this.
A complex expression appeared on his face, a mix of helplessness and a subtle psychological shift.
"I'm afraid... the ginseng fruit has already been used," his tone was full of regret and helplessness.
