Chapter 1431: Blood Test

I don't know how long it took, but the pain finally receded, and Qingfeng's limbs regained some mobility.

However, after trying for a long time, he barely managed to stand up.

He felt as if he had been drained completely, his body devoid of any strength.

Throughout that long period, he had remained fully conscious but utterly helpless.

Every shred of pain in his body was transmitted clearly to his brain, like an unending tide.

Qingfeng wished he could faint from the pain, but he sadly discovered that he simply couldn't!

That stretch of time was more unbearable than death itself!

"Damn White Night Sacred Palace! If I find out that Ye Yuan is an intruder, I'll make sure none of you are left alive!" Qingfeng gritted his teeth.

Just then, Bai Xiu's voice came from outside the door.

"Lord Qingfeng, have you rested well? The Palace Master and the Supreme Elder have sent me to invite the Divine Envoy to the main hall."

"Hah!"

The door burst open from inside, and Qingfeng's face was so dark it seemed ready to drip water.

Rest?

That was what they called rest?

He had been in so much pain he almost wanted to kill himself, and they called that rest!

Qingfeng wanted to kill someone right now!

He really wanted to kill someone!

"What's wrong, Lord Qingfeng? Are you blaming our White Night Sacred Palace for poor hospitality? The Divine Envoy suffered backlash and internal injuries. The Supreme Elder said he used his unique technique to expel the hidden injuries, leaving no隐患. Could it be... that the Supreme Elder failed to cure your hidden injuries?" Bai Xiu feigned surprise.

Qingfeng was about to explode when suddenly he frowned.

He examined his internal state and found that the internal injuries caused by the backlash had indeed healed. His meridians were completely unobstructed, and he even felt a refreshing clarity!

This discovery slightly eased his expression.

Could it be... that Ye Yuan really was treating his injuries?

Recalling his own palm strike, the backlash force had indeed been considerable, likely leaving significant hidden injuries.

Now that his injuries were fully healed, it was clear he had received treatment.

But this treatment... was it necessarily so painful?

"Hmm, the hidden injuries are healed! Lead the way!" Qingfeng said coldly.

As a divine envoy, Qingfeng clearly valued his pride greatly.

Since the other party had truly been healing him, he didn't want to reveal his own embarrassing state.

Bai Xiu was already laughing inwardly. If not for Qingfeng's presence, he would have been rolling on the floor with laughter.

But Bai Xiu was not a young fellow like Bai Chen; having held a high position for years, he was quite deep.

He showed no sign of emotion on the surface.

Ye Yuan had invited him to watch a good show, and he had clearly seen through the window how Qingfeng writhed in pain on the ground.

Bai Xiu was sharp enough to know that Ye Yuan had secretly caused it.

Initially, he had been uneasy, worried that Qingfeng would completely lose his temper upon coming out.

But when he spoke the words Ye Yuan had taught him, he found Qingfeng's expression immediately improved.

Just as Ye Yuan had said, not only would he not blame them, but he would also feel secretly grateful.

At this moment, he was utterly in awe of this Supreme Elder.

Qingfeng was in so much pain he gasped for air, and Bai Xiu heard it clearly from outside.

To make a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Insight Heaven realm suffer such excruciating pain, the agony was unimaginable.

Hey!

But not only did they not blame him, things actually calmed down!

This kind of skill, I'm afraid only someone like the Supreme Elder could pull it off, right?

…

Arriving at the main hall, Ye Yuan greeted him with a smile, cupping his hands and laughing: "Ye Yuan, Supreme Elder of the White Night Sacred Palace, respectfully welcomes the Divine Envoy! I was in seclusion earlier and neglected you, Divine Envoy—my sincerest apologies! I, Ye Yuan, beg your forgiveness!"

Ye Yuan's attitude was extremely sincere, and as he spoke, he really seemed about to bow down.

Qingfeng quickly lifted his arm and said indifferently, "No need!"

Ye Yuan said joyfully, "The Divine Envoy truly lives up to being an envoy from above, broad-minded! By the way, the cultivation technique I practice is rather peculiar—when anyone approaches, it produces a strong repulsive force, which inadvertently injured you, Divine Envoy. I am truly guilty of a crime deserving death! Fortunately, I have some unique methods to help the Divine Envoy clear the meridians and bring out the hidden injuries. This method is somewhat painful, but the effect is excellent. May I ask if you are still feeling any discomfort now?"

Qingfeng's muscles twitched slightly—'somewhat painful' was an understatement; it was utterly agonizing!

However, the effect was indeed good!

Otherwise, returning with hidden injuries to report would have invited who knows what ridicule.

"Hmm, it's healed now!" Qingfeng said, still indifferent.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That's good! Since the Divine Envoy has arrived, let's first attend to the official business! I was merely in seclusion cultivating—how could I be an invader? Some people love to spread rumors and cause trouble; truly detestable!"

Seeing Ye Yuan so calm, Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious.

Although no one knew where this rumor started, without a doubt, the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace was the most suspicious.

But as long as there was even a slight possibility, the Tianlu Divine Palace would not let it go.

Moreover, with such an expert suddenly appearing, how could they not be cautious?

"Whether it's a rumor or not, we'll know with a test!" Qingfeng continued his cold demeanor.

With that, Qingfeng made a slight hand seal, and a box-sized spirit shrine rested in his palm.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was face to face with Qingfeng. At this distance, if the Tianlu Shrine had reacted, it should have attacked long ago.

But the Tianlu Shrine showed no movement at all!

Seeing this, everyone in the White Night Sacred Palace breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I told you, how could the Supreme Elder be an invader?"

"It must be those bastards from the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, holding a grudge after this disastrous defeat and deliberately fabricating rumors!"

"Damn the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, I'm not done with them!"

…

The experts of the White Night Sacred Palace all pointed their fingers at the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, clearly believing this was their doing.

However, the worries in Bai Chen and Mo Yun's hearts did not disappear.

After all, the most critical part of the Tianlu Shrine was the blood test!

Sure enough, Qingfeng said indifferently, "Surface aura can be disguised, but the laws of heaven contained in a martial artist's blood cannot be faked! Elder Ye, please!"

A martial artist's growth is a process of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In this process, the aura of the heavenly dao is naturally brought into their blood.

Thus, the most reliable way to verify a martial artist's identity is through blood!

Hearing this, Mo Yun and Bai Chen's hearts were in their throats.

The others also stopped their clamor and stared intently at Ye Yuan.

There had been many cases exposed through blood testing!

Ye Yuan smiled slightly and did not hesitate.

A flash of cold light, and a cut appeared on Ye Yuan's finger.

"Drip!"

A drop of blood slid down his fingertip and fell into the Tianlu Shrine.

Everyone's breathing became rapid!
