Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 710 Awakening
Seeing Jiang Muyun so obstinately unenlightened,
the elders of the Moon Fallen Sect were immediately burning with rage.
Many of the elders who were originally close to the Great Elder emitted a faint, yet intense, aura of murderous intent.
In the face of these elders’ murderous intent, Jiang Muyun’s expression remained unchanged, as she believed she had done nothing wrong, though she felt she had failed her master’s upbringing.
Had she been mistaken in speaking up for Shen Feng within the sect?
Was she wrong to have stood in front of Meng Cuiqin just now?
The Moon Fallen Sect was now only concerned with its own interests. After all, Shen Feng had never provoked Fang Tianyu from the Cold Extreme Palace and the others.
It was these people who had first sought Shen Feng’s life and ended up being killed by him. That was reaping what they had sown, right?
Yet, the Cold Extreme Palace and the Blood Soul Demon Sect among others were still issuing a bounty for Shen Feng in the Lower Realm!
Could it be that just because Shen Feng lacked the support of a powerful sect behind him, he was expected to die at the hands of Fang Tianyu and the others without the right to fight back?
And as for the death of Meng Cuiqin,
Jiang Muyun likewise believed Shen Feng was not at fault. At the very beginning, Shen Feng had given Meng Cuiqin a chance to leave, but she did not cherish it!
Xiao Lanyu couldn’t help but speak out, "There are many doubts in this matter. If Muyun had conspired with outsiders to kill the Great Elder, then why would she wait here!"
Meng Meiping spoke in a rather respectful tone, "Sect Master, I know Jiang Muyun is your disciple, but my grandmother has made many significant contributions to the Moon Fallen Sect. Is she still not comparable to Jiang Muyun?"
"To take a step back, even if Jiang Muyun did not strike the killing blow, she definitely recognizes the killer. Yet now, she wants to conceal the killer’s identity. She is already an accomplice to murder."
The many elders present deeply resonated with this sentiment; their considerations were always for the interests of their own sect.
Now that the Great Elder was dead, no matter what, it would inevitably affect the Moon Fallen Sect.
"Sect Master, you can’t favor Jiang Muyun this time. With her status as an accomplice, it’s enough to execute her!"
"Indeed, Sect Master, there can be no exceptions in such matters. Jiang Muyun must be executed!"
"I propose that Meiping replaces Jiang Muyun as the Saintess, and this time the sect must do everything in its power to help Meiping enter the Middle Realm."
...
Hearing the elders one by one calling for the execution of her disciple, Xiao Lanyu’s eyes flickered with indignation. Yet, as the master of a sect, she had to consider the entire sect. As she was about to speak,
Meng Meiping said with a cold expression, "Elders, my grandmother can’t die in vain. Executing Jiang Muyun is the best outcome."
"But, we can’t let her die silently and unnoticed. She has always spoken for that fugitive lad, which proves she has an indescribable relationship with him."
"During the Dragon Leap Gate event, almost every sect in the Lower Realm will participate. We can execute Jiang Muyun at the venue of the Dragon Leap Gate. This way, we can demonstrate that our Moon Fallen Sect is impartial and just, and even if it is the Saintess who has made a grave mistake, our sect will still deal with it fairly!"
Her proposal gained the approval of many elders from the Moon Fallen Sect.
Xiao Lanyu did not object either; after all, this meant that Jiang Muyun could live a few more days, and there was a chance that there might be a turn of events in the end.
Seeing her proposal pass, Meng Meiping silently transmitted her voice to Jiang Muyun, "From the moment you stepped into the Moon Fallen Sect, you have constantly overshadowed me. Your brilliance knew no bounds, while at best, I was just a touch of green, serving to set you off."
"To be honest, I am not too grief-stricken over my grandmother’s death, as I’m on the verge of moving to the Middle Realm, where my grandmother can no longer provide me with support."
"On the contrary, I should really thank you. Thanks to your reluctance to disclose the identity of the killer, I have now taken your place. Before I leave the Lower Realm, I will receive a large number of cultivation resources that were originally prepared for you."
"Jiang Muyun, I’m really looking forward to the day of the Dragon Leap Gate! I can’t wait to see you fade away in front of the sects of the Lower Realm."
In response to Meng Meiping’s sound transmission, Jiang Muyun appeared very calm, not speaking again, but couldn’t help picturing Shen Feng in her mind.
...
Time flitted by.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
Inside an abandoned mine in the Lower Realm,
Shen Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, a fist-sized Black Dot floating above his head.
This was the enlarged version of the Black Dot from his Dantian.
From the Black Dot emanated a dazzling purple glow.
Then, the brilliant purple light extended in all directions within the mine.
The originally tranquil mine started to tremble faintly as Spiritual Energy rapidly bubbled up from its floor and stone walls.
Under the influence of the purple light, Spirit Stones began to regrow quickly throughout the abandoned Spirit Vein.
Over the course of five days,
Shen Feng, while en route to the location of the Dragon Leap Gate, also took the opportunity to search for abandoned Spirit Mines and indeed found quite a number.
After all, since ancient times,
even in the Lower Realm, countless Spirit Mines had been depleted, so finding some abandoned ones along the way was not too difficult.
Shen Feng had already rejuvenated over a dozen Spirit Mines, but they were all between One-Star and Two-Star, with Mid-Grade Spirit Stones being the highest-grade ones appearing in them.
In the current Lower Realm, Upper-Grade Spirit Stones did not exist, of course; however, if Shen Feng could find a higher-grade Spirit Mine, then presumably the Upper-Grade Spirit Stones within could be rejuvenated as well.
But even so,
after rejuvenating several Low-Tier Spirit Mines, Shen Feng’s blood-red ring now contained,
more than nine hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, and over five hundred thousand Mid-Grade ones—a tremendous sum in the Lower Realm.
At this moment,
Shen Feng did not tend to the Black Dot’s rejuvenation of the Spirit Mine; he had been studying the Blood Emperor Jue over these five days.
Currently in his body, the Emperor King Jue and the Blood Emperor Jue were completely separated; activating the Emperor King Jue meant he could not use the Blood Emperor Jue, and conversely, using the Blood Emperor Jue naturally prevented the use of the Emperor King Jue.
Right now,
the Blood Emperor Jue circulated slowly in Shen Feng’s body. He was becoming more familiar with this Cultivation Technique. Since the day before yesterday, every time he operated this technique, he always felt a cool energy gathering towards his eyes.
Shen Feng, seated in meditation,
even though his eyes were closed, it was still visible that purple light flickered incessantly in both of his eyes.
He faintly felt that some power was awakening in his eyes.
This was definitely a transformation brought about by the Blood Emperor Jue.
Especially today, while operating the Blood Emperor Jue, he could feel he was only a step away from awakening some power in his eyes.
The Blood Emperor Jue, which had been circulating at a steady pace in his body, was now quickening on its own, and the energy flowing into his eyes was becoming colder and colder.
In almost just a few seconds,
Shen Feng felt as though his eyes were about to freeze, a surge of unbearable pain coming from them!
At the same time, the flickering purple light in his eyes grew faster and faster!
