Strongest Medical Saint

Bloodthirsty Lake Side.

After quite a while.

Following a violent breakthrough commotion, Lu Wansheng's breath stabilized at the middle stage of Sea Transformation.

Feeling the more robust spiritual energy within his body, Lu Wansheng slowly opened his eyes, a touch of excited smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help saying to himself, "At last I've taken this step, my cultivation has finally broken through to the middle stage of Sea Transformation."

His two hands, which had been resting on his thighs, suddenly clenched into fists. Veins bulged on the backs of his hands as spiritual energy swirled around him without any intention of dissipating.

He knew that breaking through to the middle stage of Sea Transformation was entirely thanks to the Carefree Immortal Emperor who had repaired his misaligned meridians; otherwise, with his own capabilities, he might never have even realized there was a problem within his body and would have stayed at the initial stage of Sea Transformation forever.

In his heart, his reverence and gratitude towards Shen Feng grew even stronger, and he became even more determined to closely follow Shen Feng's footsteps.

Meanwhile, Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing kept taking deep breaths, their gazes never leaving Lu Wansheng.

"Grandpa, did you truly improve your cultivation to the middle stage of Sea Transformation because of that guy? Are you saying that guy's cultivation isn't just at the Foundation Establishment Stage?" Lu Xueqing couldn't help asking.

Lu Wansheng, who had stood up from the ground, didn't want to explain too much at the moment. He said, "Don't you even believe what you've seen with your own eyes? My cultivation is now genuinely at the middle stage of Sea Transformation."

"In a few days, the Old Ancestor should visit our City Lord's Mansion. Now, we must return to settle accounts with the Liu Family, lest someone shortsighted offends the Old Ancestor later on. We must leave a good impression on the Old Ancestor."

Having said this.

Lu Wansheng headed towards Spirit Water City, soaring through the sky, while Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing exchanged a look and then shook their heads in resignation.

In the end, Lu Guangwen took Lu Xueqing, who was injured, and they both took to the air.

...

While Lu Wansheng was breaking through to the middle stage of Sea Transformation and hurriedly soaring toward Spirit Water City.

Shen Feng was also constantly approaching the Hundred Flower Sect. Although the Bloodthirsty Ghost Fish in Bloodthirsty Lake were a decent fighting force, he couldn't take them with him for the time being.

As he was about to return to the Hundred Flower Sect, dawn began to slowly break. He had a very busy night.

This time returning to the Hundred Flower Sect.

Shen Feng discovered that the formation barrier enveloping the Hundred Flower Sect had been shut down. However, he didn't sense anything unusual inside the sect; it must have been the people of the sect who shut down the formation themselves, which saved Shen Feng the trouble of having to break through it.

He entered the Hundred Flower Sect without making a sound and returned to the courtyard of his residence.

Just as he was opening the door.

An Elder of the Hundred Flower Sect entered the courtyard. She had visited several times before and had always seen the door closed. She didn't dare to disturb him, but now she thought that Shen Feng had just come out of the room. With respect, she said, "Senior, members of the Wanyue family have already arrived first, and they don't believe at all in our engagement arrangement for Wanyue. Could you please show yourself?"

Shen Feng did not refuse and said, "Lead the way."

...

Meanwhile.

In a pavilion outside the Hundred Flower Sect.

Aside from Supreme Elder Gao Huiying, Sect Master Jiang Zhuyu, Guest Elder Hu Fangmei, and Xue Wanyue, there were others present.

Among them was a middle-aged man with an unfriendly face and a young man with a mocking expression.

This middle-aged man was the brother of the Xue Family Head, Xue Dingkang, who was currently at the Initial Stage of Nascent Variation. It was he who had initially tried to matchmake Xue Wanyue with a grandson of an Outer Gate Elder from the Star Sea Sword Sect.

Even though Xue Wanyue was the daughter of the Xue Family Head, her mother had died very early, and later her father remarried, bearing a son.

Despite Xue Wanyue's notable talent for cultivation, her stepmother, too, wished for her to marry off early.

Having the chance to connect with the Star Sea Sword Sect and marry her off quickly was naturally something her stepmother was eager to facilitate.

The Family Head of the Xue Family, who was Xue Wanyue's biological father, now had a son with his current wife, and his cultivation talent was not slight. Naturally, he favored his son more and finally agreed to this marriage proposal.

However, he did not come to the Hundred Flower Sect personally this time, perhaps feeling a bit guilty about Xue Wanyue!

Standing next to Xue Dingkang was his son, Xue Zhengyu, whose cultivation had reached the Late Stage of Golden Core. Among the younger generation of the Xue Family, he was considered a force to be reckoned with.

Xue Dingkang and Xue Zhengyu came to the Hundred Flower Sect ahead of the people from the Star Sea Sword Sect, solely to ensure that Xue Wanyue would obediently follow the Star Sea Sword Sect when it was time to leave.

If this affair were to be successfully concluded, Xue Dingkang would gain significant benefits, so he was very invested in the matter.

But things were not going as smoothly as he hoped. The people of the Hundred Flower Sect actually told him that now Xue Wanyue had a fiancé? This marriage was arranged by the Hundred Flower Sect!

Such an implausibly false claim, how could he possibly believe it!

"Wanyue, do you know what you're doing? The blood of the Xue Family flows in your veins; you should consider the family's interests. Marrying into the Star Sea Sword Sect is a blessing from your past life. If it weren't for your uncle's efforts, do you think you could marry into the Star Sea Sword Sect with your own merits?" Xue Dingkang had always been unfriendly towards his niece, Xue Wanyue. In the past, he even joined forces with the current wife of the Family Head to suppress Xue Wanyue within the family.

Xue Zhengyu, with disdain, spoke, "Out of respect for the Xue Family, I can still call you sister now. But if you are so stubbornly foolish, do you know what will become of you in the end? And claiming to have a fiancé? Everyone knows that the Hundred Flower Sect does not permit the entry of men, so where did you get this fiancé?"

The Supreme Elder and Sect Master of the Hundred Flower Sect were there.

Xue Dingkang and Xue Zhengyu dared to be so brazen, relying entirely on the backing of the Star Sea Sword Sect, confident that the Hundred Flower Sect wouldn't dare to lay hands on them here.

The expressions of Gao Huiying, Jiang Zhuyu, and the others grew increasingly grim, while Xue Wanyue looked icily at her uncle and brother, "Did my father send you here? Why didn't he come himself?"

Xue Dingkang calmly replied, "Wanyue, your father is the Family Head of the Xue Family; he has many matters to attend to. He has left the matter of your marriage to the Star Sea Sword Sect entirely in my hands."

"As long as you agree, rest assured, I, your uncle, will ensure you marry with dignity. Quit talking about such absurd lies."

"Do you know the status of the Star Sea Sword Sect in the Lower Realm? Are you, or the Hundred Flower Sect behind you, able to provoke them?"

Amid Xue Dingkang's pressing threats,

Shen Feng, led by that Elder, arrived at the pavilion outside the Sect.

Seeing a man walk out from the Hundred Flower Sect, Xue Dingkang and Xue Zhengyu couldn't help but be taken aback.

After a moment of hesitation, Xue Wanyue took the initiative to wrap her arm around Shen Feng's, pressing her lips to his cheek as she said coldly, "I will make my own decisions about my affairs. Who said I was lying? He is the fiancé I, Xue Wanyue, have chosen, and he's far superior to that grandson of the Star Sea Sword Sect's Outer Gate Elder in countless ways!"
