“You people of Intentionless Sect can’t even fend for yourself. It looks like you don’t have a choice anyway,” Mo Wen said serenely. He had never imagined that a sect which had been independent for hundreds of years would immediately reject him. It felt too unreal.

Even though they wanted to protect the Ming Clan’s influence and had the intention of rebuilding the Ming Clan to its former glory, they treated the acknowledgment of him as the Supreme Sect Leader as an entirely different case altogether.

“You are actually right. It is possible that Intentionless Sect would not exist anymore. Indeed, we do not have a choice. But you coming over to Intentionless Sect at such a time seems a little meaningless.” Chen Zikuang laughed bitterly. He did not think much of the aspirations of rebuilding the Ming Clan. Currently, the entire sect had been wiped out including its roots. Essentially nothing existed anymore.

“If I can help your Intentionless Sect to continue to exist, will you still think that I am not competent?” Mo Wen asked calmly.

“You can go against Sacred Flame Sect?” Chen Zikuang looked at Mo Wen doubtfully. He was different from the others as he had at least some understanding of Mo Wen. He knew that Mo Wen’s natural talents were rather good. Moreover, he had Cultivated the Ming Clan’s Divine Techniques so he enjoyed exceptional natural advantages. However, he was still so young and did not have sufficient experience. Moreover, his Cultivation did not seem all that brilliant. Chen Zikuang was indeed doubtful of Mo Wen’s ability to save Intentionless Sect at such a point in time.

Although Mu Liao had previously praised Mo Wen in many aspects, he could not rely on things that he had yet to witness. Moreover, Mu Liao was not especially credible since he had such an amazing imagination.

It was such a joke for a youth of only the Qi Nucleation realm being able to defeat Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners so easily.

“Can you heal father’s injuries?” Chen Zikuang’s eyes were shining as he fixed his gaze on Mo Wen.

“Perhaps. You should know that the Ming Clan has always had a medical heritage. Since I am a successor of the Ming Clan, I am naturally very adept with medical techniques,” Mo Wen said calmly. He had randomly pulled out a reason. The Ming Clan indeed had a history of medicine and all the past generations had produced miracle physicians. Hence, there was no reason to doubt his words.

“Even if you are able to cure my father’s illness and injuries, Intentionless Sect can only persevere for another week. I believe that Sacred Flame Sect would not want to drag things on. So how would you be able to save Intentionless Sect?” Chen Zikuang sighed deeply as he locked eyes with Mo Wen.

In reality, he did not have much confidence in Mo Wen being able to cure his father; he was actually very clear that his father’s illness was too unorthodox and serious. He had not cared about the cost of calling for a great master in medical techniques from the Medical Sect. However, there was still nothing that could be done.

Even if this youth had inherited teachings of the Ming Clan and cultivated medical techniques, he was still too young. His medical techniques may not be very advanced and could even be worse than those of the great master they had invited. If it had been an average injury which was easy to treat, Intentionless Sect which was hundreds of years old would not be at their wit’s end.

“I can drag out the time for about another one week against Sacred Flame Sect.”

“You can do that?” Chen Zikuang looked at Mo Wen doubtfully. This youth was too confident. He was so confident that things felt a little unreal. The entire Intentionless Sect had been rendered helpless so how was it possible that he could do it?

“Deputy Sect Leader Chen, you just have to sit back and watch. Currently, you have no other choice.” Mo Wen smiled. Naturally, he would not have come to Intentionless Sect without reason. If he had come during normal times, it would not have been as easy for him to take over Intentionless Sect.

“You are right, Intentionless Sect does not have a choice at this time.” Chen Zikuang nodded his head. He finally understood a little why Mo Wen had chosen to come to Intentionless Sect at such a time. After he thought about it, curiosity welled up inside him. This youth did not appear to be simply a youth no matter how he looked at him. He was actually genuinely convinced by Mo Wen’s courage, confidence, and determination.

“I am never aimless when doing things. I am sure you know of the conditions as well. If I am able to get Intentionless Sect out of trouble, Intentionless Sect will belong to me in the future,” Mo Wen said calmly.

“I naturally understand. If you are able to do so, it doesn’t matter if Intentionless Sect becomes yours. Intentionless Sect will respect a Supreme Sect Leader with genuine abilities,” Chen Zikuang replied serenely. Initially, Intentionless Sect had wanted to seek out Mo Wen to test him. If he could pass the test, they would be able to make a decision. If Mo Wen was able to save Intentionless Sect from its current situation, there was naturally no need to test or question Mo Wen’s abilities.

“Please allow me to meet with Sect Leader Chen Wuhui,” Mo Wen said directly.

“Come with me.” Chen Zikuang made a gesture before taking huge strides towards an area of the palace.

After turning four to five corners, Mo Wen and Chen Zikuang came to a sleeping quarter. Inside the sleeping quarter were quite a number of butlers and maids. They were all busy running about. Inside was a bed and on it lay an old man in a white sleeping gown. The old man’s beard and hair had all turned white. His face was ashen and his lips were purple while his glabella was black. His aura was very weak.

A middle-aged person was seated on a chair by the side and there was a medicine kit beside him. Upon seeing Chen Zikuang walk over, he immediately stood up.

“Sect Leader Chen, you have come.” The man bowed towards Chen Zikuang.

“Physician Yu, how is father’s condition?” Chen Zikuang said with his expression full of worry. He already knew the answer in his heart and was just asking out of habit.

“I, Yu, am incapable. Old Grandfather Chen Wuhui’s illness is really a little...” Physician Yu took in a breath and looked extremely helpless.

“Old Grandfather Chen’s injury isn’t really anything much. With his current Cultivation, he can totally rely on himself to recover. However, the poison in him is strange. Not only does it inhibit the injury from healing, it even causes it to spread by the day. I cannot treat the illness at its roots, but can only slow down the spread of the poison,” Yu Guang said helplessly.

Chen Zikuang did not say anything and simply nodded his head. That was because the situation had been the same all along, and he no longer harbored any hope of recovery. In fact, he would be more surprised if Yu Guang had said that his father’s illness could be treated.

“Mo Wen, my father is over there, why not take a look?” Chen Zikuang looked at Mo Wen. Truthfully, he did not have much hope in Mo Wen either. But things were already at such a bad stage that there was no harm in trying.

Sacred Flame Sect had blocked off the inner city and completely cut off all communication between Intentionless Sect and the outside world. The only physician that Intentionless Sect had been able to summon was Yu Guang from the Medical Sect. If that had not been the case, he would not be at the end of his tether.

“Who is he?” Yu Guang asked, furrowing his brows. He had seemingly just seen Mo Wen.

“He is called Mo Wen,” Chen Zikuang said calmly, not intending to explain further.

“Sect Leader Chen, I’m afraid it’s a little inappropriate to get a youth to diagnose the illness of Old Grandfather Chen, isn’t it?” Yu Guang scanned Mo Wen up and down as he knitted his brows.

“He has learned medicine before. Physician Yu, he may be able to see things from another perspective.” Chen Zikuang also knew that the possibility of Mo Wen being able to cure Old Grandfather’s illness was slim. However, what other choice did he have?

“Sect Leader Chen, I don’t want to say it but you are acting too rashly. How can a random person just diagnose and treat a patient? If a youth can do it after casually learning a few medical techniques, what is the use of us physicians from the Medical Sect? Do you not understand that if the illness gets cured, all will be well. However, if this youth does anything he wants, it is very possible that he could become a murderer.” Yu Guang stood in front of Mo Wen and looked as though he would not allow Mo Wen to get close to the patient at all.

Chen Zikuang seemed to hesitate a little. Was he too rash to have so quickly brought Mo Wen over to diagnose his father’s illness? Yu Guang was right about at least one thing. If Mo Wen did not actually know how to diagnose illnesses and did things as he wished, huge problems could possibly arise.

“Sect Leader Chen, with Old Grandfather Chen’s current situation, he would be able to live for at least a month; if you get this youth to interfere, I will not be able to guarantee anything. Moreover, when I, Yu Guang, take care of a patient, I dislike people interfering. If you are set on getting this youth involved in the treatment, I will wash my hands of this from now on.”

The meaning of Yu Guang’s words was very simple. If this youth became involved in Old Grandfather Chen’s treatment and if anything happened or he was still untreatable, the doctor would no longer be involved in the care and wellbeing of the patient.

Chen Zikuang knitted his brows. Yu Guang’s words were a little harsh. He had only brought Mo Wen over for a look and had not insisted that he must be allowed to get involved with the treatment either. Was there a need to get so agitated?

“Physician Yu, if we go by your method and follow your treatment, the patient would not live past a month. What is the use of treatment then? Is it any different to you watching the patient die and doing nothing at all?” Mo Wen laughed coldly as he spoke. A physician actually had the cheek to say in front of others that his treatment would allow the patient to live for a month, while others may cause the patient to die immediately. That was no different from a pot calling the kettle black.

“Lad, what do you know? How many years have you been learning medical techniques? How dare you boast so much? I have cultivated medical techniques for over thirty years and cured countless people. Go and ask around what kind of person Yu Guang is, and what kind of place the Medical Sect is. Just what is the status of Yu Guang that a useless lad like you dares to criticize him?” Yu Guang’s face turned cold and he glared at Mo Wen arrogantly, with a look conveying his dominance as a great master of medicine.

“Deputy Sect Leader Chen, what are you even thinking? This so-called Physician Yu seems to be simply watching your Old Grandfather die.” Mo Wen crossed his arms and looked at Chen Zikuang. His lips curled up into a mocking smile.

“Deputy Sect Leader Chen, you had better not allow this person to interfere. You should know that Old Grandfather Chen’s survival is currently very important to Intentionless Sect. What would happen if this lad causes him to die?” Without waiting for Chen Zikuang to make a decision, Yu Guang stepped forth to add some words.

Chen Zikuang licked his lips. There was some hesitation in his eyes. Yu Guang had a point. Currently, his father was too important to the Intentionless Sect. The Sacred Flame Sect had been wary of Old Grandfather, which was why they had not yet given it their all.

Mo Wen hugged his arms and smiled coldly without a word.

Yu Guang’s lips curled up into a mocking smile as he felt confident that Chen Zikuang would not allow this youth who was still wet behind the ears to interfere.

“Zikuang, usher that youth in. I am willing to be treated by him.” As Chen Zikuang continued to hesitate, a weak and old voice sounded. It was Old Grandfather Chen Wuhui, talking from his sick bed.
