In the Nine Heavens Palace, many people were inquiring about the latest news.
The fact that Ban Wu, a core disciple of Tiger Peak Manor, was severely injured was not kept secret.
The news had already spread widely.
After all, there were guards and other disciples present at the scene.
Perhaps it was a slip of the tongue, or perhaps they deliberately sold the news.
In the room, Ban Wu lay on the bed.
Around his wound, it was as if scabs had formed, dry and withered...
The key issue was that these scabbed areas continued to penetrate deeper.
At this moment, Ban Wu’s consciousness had already begun to blur.
The physician of Nine Heavens Palace poked at the scabbed area with his tool, and Ban Wu remained unresponsive.
These withered areas seemed to have lost sensation.
"Elder Shan, is he going to be okay...?"
Lv Xinrong looked towards the physician, asking worriedly.
The elder paused for a moment and then shook his head.
"In all my years of practicing medicine, I have never seen such an injury..."
"Elder Shan, you should at least apply some medicine for healing.
If he continues like this, his condition will worsen, and he might lose his life..."
Lv Xinrong spoke, but the elder looked at her somewhat helplessly.
"I have no idea what kind of injury he has suffered, or what poison he has encountered.
Administering medicine blindly could do more harm than good, and I do not wish to harm him further, it would be inappropriate."
A healer has his rules, and an esteemed physician like Elder Shan has his own set of principles.
Having said that, Elder Shan took his tools and left.
He was already the most renowned physician in the Nine Heavens Palace, and even he could not treat it.
Nearby, the guards of Tiger Peak Manor watched Ban Wu’s condition, feeling waves of chill in their hearts.
"Fairy Yu Yan and the other guards seemed to have perished in the same way..."
One of the guards couldn’t help but speak up, and upon hearing this, the others felt an even deeper sense of impending doom.
"Even Young Master Wu couldn’t withstand it, so if Shen Han acts against us guards, will we still have a chance to live...?"
The guards spoke little, especially after hearing these words, everyone fell even more silent.
The room was very quiet.
If it weren’t for Ban Wu’s heavy breathing, one might think he had already died.
Lv Xinrong looked at the lying Ban Wu and only felt that her previous self was both arrogant and ridiculous.
Two days ago, she was pompous in front of Shen Han.
Her words were full of reprimands and orders.
It seemed that in her view, she could easily deal with Shen Han.
But in fact, if not for her elders arriving swiftly after receiving the news and rushing over immediately.
And the elders were coincidentally handling some matters outside Nine Heavens Palace at that moment.
The time needed wasn’t too long to get here.
Otherwise, the person who died would not have been just Ban Wu.
She, Lv Xinrong, would not have survived either.
Her limited strength and status were not even considered by Shen Han.
At night, upon hearing the news, the Lord of Nine Heavens returned swiftly.
The relationship between the two sects was actually quite close.
Comparatively speaking, Nine Heavens Palace had an excellent relationship with Tiger Peak Manor.
But Ban Wu, he happened to die within the territory of Nine Heavens Palace.
Entering the room, the Lord of Nine Heavens immediately saw the weakened Ban Wu.
At this moment, it seemed like his life was almost half gone.
Besides still breathing, no other vital signs could be seen.
The Lord of Nine Heavens frowned, looked around, then motioned for Lv Xinrong and himself to step outside.
Outside the room, the elder from that day had also arrived.
"Elder Ming, Xinrong, tell me what happened exactly.
