The "Elixir of All Life" was hovering above Qing Qing's body, emitting wisps of green light.
When no one noticed, the "Elixir of All Life" was consuming its own power to nourish Qing Qing.
Although the disciples were furious about the current situation, fortunately they hadn't completely lost their senses. And Jiang Zhiyun had called the disciples here, planning to expose in front of everyone the evil deeds that Sect Master Qing Dai had done to Qing Qing in the past.
"Senior Brother Wu, Senior Sister Lan, please go and check on Elders Lianshan and Lianqiao first. I know that you won't believe me just based on my words alone. So, they are the witnesses."
Under the extreme pain, Jiang Zhiyun's mind had become much clearer.
While enduring her emotions and arranging the disciples' actions, she took out the life - saving spiritual pills from her storage bag and applied them to Qing Qing.
A disciple who was on good terms with Jiang Zhiyun couldn't bear to watch. Seeing the big hole in Qing Qing's chest, she knew that it was hopeless. Even if Jiang Zhiyun took out the most precious medicinal materials, it would be of no avail. So she comforted her, saying, "Zhiyun... the young sect master... is beyond saving..."
As healers, they all had benevolent hearts.
If there was even the slightest hope for a patient under their care, they would never say such words.
But seeing that Qing Qing had already lost his breath and his heart meridian was completely damaged, it was clearly a sign of certain death. Now, trying to save his life was just a futile effort.
But Jiang Zhiyun gritted her teeth tightly and her hands trembled. "I'm a healer. I won't give up on any patient under my care, let alone the one I love..."
There was a thick sob in her voice, and the people around her couldn't help but be moved.
Even the disciples of the Green Wood Sect, who were used to seeing life and death, had a soft spot in their hearts. Once it was touched, their emotions would pour out.
Moreover, the disciples gradually recalled the little moments they had spent with Qing Qing. Unbearable sadness welled up from the bottom of their hearts.
"Okay! I'll help you!"
"Junior Sister Jiang, you take the medicine to stop the bleeding first. I'll protect the meridians around the young sect master's heart. Junior Sister Chu, come here. Your hands are steadier. When I tell you where to insert the needles, you do it!"
A disciple took out her medical kit and began to arrange the rescue.
Seeing this, the other disciples also did their best to start saving the young sect master.
"I have spiritual pills to protect the heart meridian. I just made two doses. I originally wanted to sell them, but now I'll give them all to the young sect master!"
"Me too, me too. My knife is the sharpest. I'll infuse it with spiritual power to make it more precise when Senior Sister uses it!"
The other disciples were annoyed that they had come in a hurry and only had ordinary medicine on them. They immediately said, "I... I'll go down the mountain right away to call for reinforcements!!"
The disciples worked together with only one goal. Even if they couldn't revive Qing Qing on the spot, they had to protect his remaining heart meridian and body. At worst, they could freeze him first and wait for the right opportunity to find a way to save him.
Most of these disciples were women. After Qing Qing's male identity was exposed, they originally found it extremely disgusting.
In their eyes, Qing Qing had become a person who would stop at nothing to become the sect master. In order to achieve his goal, he even abandoned his male identity and pretended to be a woman to mingle among them.
Just thinking about the times when they had discussed their intimate clothing or women's little thoughts in front of Qing Qing made them feel nauseous and irritated.
Even though Jiang Zhiyun had constantly explained in front of them that Qing Qing had his own difficulties, they selectively ignored it, let alone showing any good looks to Qing Qing.
During that period, they purely hated Qing Qing.
It wasn't until Qing Qing returned from the Beast - Taming Sect, suffered a relapse of the poison, and was driven to a remote mountain by Sect Master Qing Dai. They saw Jiang Zhiyun running back and forth every day to take care of Qing Qing and even thought it wasn't worth it for Jiang Zhiyun.
But when they first saw Qing Qing lying in a pool of blood, the first feeling they had wasn't pleasure but sadness.
It wasn't just the sadness of being a healer, but also the sadness of having once truly regarded Qing Qing as a friend but being deceived by him.
Jiang Zhiyun's sobs made them suddenly realize that they didn't really hate Qing Qing. They just hated the deception. If Qing Qing really had his own difficulties, they would surely regret it.
So now they had the same goal. They wanted to hear Qing Qing's explanation with their own ears!
Jiang Zhiyun's position was taken over by others. When she saw everyone working together to save Qing Qing, a great strength suddenly burst out in her heart.
Her medical skills were not as good as those of her senior sisters, and she had already done her best. Next, she had to do what she should do.
Jiang Zhiyun looked at Qing Qing lovingly for a moment, then walked up to Shen Qing and said, "Shen Qing, your cultivation is higher than mine. I have something to ask of you."
Shen Qing nodded. "You don't need to ask. I'll agree to anything you say, but you mustn't hurt yourself."
"I won't hurt myself," Jiang Zhiyun turned to look at the fallen Sect Master Qing Dai, with strong hatred in her eyes. "I'll keep this life to avenge Qing Qing!"
Li Xian was also pushed away from Qing Qing's side by the busy disciples of the Green Wood Sect. He picked up his sword again and stared blankly at the bloodstains of Qing Qing on the sword.
Jiang Zhiyun didn't know what had happened just now, but seeing Li Xian's state and the blood on the sword and Qing Qing's wound, she could more or less guess something.
Although she didn't blame Li Xian, she still couldn't bear to see the sword in Li Xian's hand.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please take a few of my senior sisters to wake up the two elders. Their cultivation is not as high as yours, but they know pharmacology. If you cooperate, maybe you can find out the reason for the strange behavior of the two elders."
Li Xian was in a daze. It wasn't until Jiang Zhiyun said it a second time that he nodded blankly and walked towards Elder Lianshan.
A few of Jiang Zhiyun's senior sisters quickly followed. Although they were afraid of Li Xian, who now looked like a god of death, they still didn't forget their mission.
"Shen Qing, it's time for us to start," Jiang Zhiyun took a deep breath and led Shen Qing in front of Sect Master Qing Dai.
Shen Qing looked at the fallen Sect Master Qing Dai, guessed Jiang Zhiyun's intention, and carefully asked, "You're not going to kill her, are you?"
When she asked this, she also disagreed in her heart.
After all, such a death was too easy. Although it could vent her anger, it would only bring momentary pleasure.
Moreover, if Sect Master Qing Dai died, there would be no direct witness for Qing Qing's matter, and some truths might be buried forever.
But if Jiang Zhiyun insisted, Shen Qing wouldn't stop her.
She was even already calculating whether she should ask Ling Zhou for some power to break the protective spell on Qing Dai, whose cultivation was higher than hers.
But to Shen Qing's surprise, Jiang Zhiyun shook her head.
"If I kill her, no one can prove Qing Qing's innocence. And for you and Fellow Daoist Li, if Qing Dai dies, your suspicions can't be cleared."
"I hate her, but I also understand the overall situation. The sect will punish her."
Shen Qing sighed at Jiang Zhiyun's calmness and asked in confusion, "Then why did you call me here? What do you plan to do?"
Jiang Zhiyun squatted down, took out a packet of things from her storage bag, and opened it. Inside were neatly arranged silver needles.
"I'm going to... seal Qing Dai's cultivation."
