With Jeang Zier leading the way, finding the Divine Farr Sect had been quite easy.
Both Su Yang and Jeang Zier were strong, and although they were walking through these towering mountains, they were able to move swiftly.
In less than two hours, the two had arrived outside the Divine Farr Sect.
Of course, if an ordinary person were to travel this distance, it would be impossible without a day or two’s ti.
Also, due to this reason, even though the Divine Farr Sect was skilled in dicine, in fact, not many people ca here to seek dical help. Ordinary people with common illnesses didn’t need to venture into the mountains for help.
Unlike the River God Sect, the Divine Farr Sect belonged to the more low-profile sects.
Initially, Su Yang thought that upon arriving at the Divine Farr Sect, he would see so tall houses or similar structures.
In fact, upon arrival at the Divine Farr Sect, Su Yang had just realized that this so-called Sect was no different from a Taoist temple deep in the mountains.
A simple courtyard, looking quite dilapidated, must have endured many years. It was quite clean, probably cleaned every day.
Hanging at the entrance was a plaque with three large characters—Divine Farr Sect!
Beyond this, there were no other markings.
Compared to the tall palaces and splendid decorations of the River God Sect, this place was akin to a slum.
Who would have thought that everything owned by the River God Sect had actually been left by the OldDivine Farr Sect.
As a result, the River God Sect lived in splendor, while the Divine Farr Sect lived so modestly.
Just as the two approached the gate, a young boy sweeping the floor saw them.
The boy was dressed in a traditional long gown, looking as if he were an ancient person. As soon as he saw the two approaching, he imdiately put down his broom and greeted them with his hands clasped, "I’m sorry, today is not the day the Divine Farr Sect is open to the public, so I must ask the two of you..."
Before he could finish, the youth froze because he saw Jeang Zier next to Su Yang.
"Jeang... Elder Sister Jeang?" the boy exclaid with joy.
"Fu’er!" Jeang Zier also expressed joy, walked over and patted the boy on the head, smiling, "Where’s the Sect Leader?"
"Elder Sister, you’ve finally co back!" the boy said in a hurry: "The Sect Leader went into the mountains to gather herbs two days ago and was attacked by a ferocious beast. He’s severely injured and is currently healing inside!"
"What?" Jeang Zier’s face changed with alarm, "How is that possible? The Sect Leader is powerful, what kind of beast could injure him?"
"The Sect Leader said it was a tiger and a python; he might’ve accidentally entered their territory while gathering herbs," the boy explained.
"Even a tiger and a python shouldn’t be able to injure the Sect Leader!" Jeang Zier exclaid urgently, "How is the Sect Leader now? Take to see him quickly!"
The boy glanced at Su Yang, who was beside Jeang Zier, obviously confused.
"Master Su is a powerful master I invited; I will report to the Sect Leader!" Jeang Zier explained.
"Oh." The boy suddenly understood and bowed to Su Yang, "Master Su, hello!"
Su Yang smiled faintly; the boy was quite polite indeed.
The attendant led the way ahead, and while walking, he explained the Sect Leader’s condition to Jeang Zier.
The Sect Leader’s injuries were severe this ti. It was already fortunate for him to have made it back alive. After uttering a few words on his return, he fell directly into a coma and has yet to regain consciousness.
There was no one in the courtyard. The attendant led Jeang Zier all the way to the inner chamber without encountering a single soul.
Su Yang was surprised. Could the Divine Farr Sect have so few mbers?
Arriving at the door of the inner chamber, the attendant’s face was downcast as he lowered his voice, "Elder Jeang, with the Sect Leader gravely wounded and unconscious, the dical Saint Sect sent people a few days ago to invite us to the Scream dical Conference. With no one to lead us, the Third Elder wants to select a new Sect Leader to take charge."
"The Sect Leader is only severely injured, why select a new Sect Leader!" Jeang Zier exclaid angrily.
"Your grandfather said the sa. But, two Elders support the Third Elder. Moreover, there’s an outsider, a skilled expert invited by the Third Elder, reportedly his good friend, willing to help us against the dical Saint Sect..." The attendant paused and whispered, "Right now, they are in the hall, discussing the selection of a new Sect Leader. And your grandfather and the Fifth Elder, they’ve been injured by the outsider. I estimate... I estimate that they have no say in this matter now..."
"What!?" Jeang Zier’s face changed abruptly in alarm, "My grandfather has been injured? What are they trying to do? Are they planning a rebellion?"
The attendant hung his head silently. He was just a door-sweeping attendant and didn’t really have a say in these events. Being able to warn Jeang Zier in advance was the most he could do.
Jeang Zier clenched her fists, took a deep breath to suppress the rage in her heart, and patted the attendant’s head, "Fu’er, you go sweep the floor. If anyone asks, you haven’t seen !"
"Elder Jeang..." The attendant’s eyes reddened.
"I’ll be fine!" Jeang Zier assured him with a smile, "The Divine Farr Sect will definitely not be changing its Sect Leader!"
The attendant nodded fiercely and quietly returned to the entrance of the courtyard.
With a look of embarrassnt, Jeang Zier turned to Su Yang, "Master Su, I apologize for making you witness this farce! I had not anticipated such events within the sect."
Su Yang offered a light smile, "Why apologize? Isn’t solving the Divine Farr Sect’s issues precisely why I ca? If the Divine Farr Sect had no troubles, why would I be here?"
Jeang Zier looked towards the distant hall, her face full of worry but also filled with gratitude for Su Yang.
"You go to the hall first," Su Yang said, "I’ll look after the Sect Leader, then co to join you."
Jeang Zier felt even more grateful. She indeed wanted to be in the hall where her grandfather was, but with the Sect Leader’s fate hanging in the balance, she couldn’t just leave.
Su Yang’s words greatly relieved her. His dical skills were far superior to anyone she’d encountered; healing the Sect Leader shouldn’t be a problem.
"Master Su, thank you so much!" Jeang Zier said gratefully.
Su Yang waved it off with a casual smile, and Jeang Zier did not hesitate, imdiately rushing towards the hall ahead.
The so-called hall, compared to the River God Sect’s grand hall, was practically a thatched cottage.
However, the hall was rather spacious.
Now, inside the hall gathered seventy to eighty individuals, almost all from the Divine Farr Sect.
Although the Divine Farr Sect was renowned, in fact, its mbers were few. After all, not everyone could endure the rigors of seclusion in the mountains.
As Jeang Zier entered the hall, she spotted her grandfather and the Fifth Elder, looking wilted in their chairs from a distance. Beside them, about a dozen people stood, all staunch disciples of theirs, but these disciples were also injured, having apparently endured a battle.
"The wise adapt!" an elder with a long beard laughed, "Elder Jeang, things have co to this point. Do you really think the situation will turn around? Today, if you agree, then we’ll change the Sect Leader. If you don’t, we’ll kill you and then change the Sect Leader anyway!"
