MD 871 to 90
Miracle Doctor Chapter 871
Bai Bing’s heart ached as if it were being twisted by a knife.
She could tell that Ye Qiu was bearing unimaginable grief in his heart.
She didn’t know how to comfort Ye Qiu, and any words of comfort would seem pale and powerless at this moment.
Bai Bing stepped forward, tightly embracing Ye Qiu, and whispered in his ear, “Go to Miaojiang quickly!”
“Stay safe.”
“Take care on the way!”
Ye Qiu let out a soft “mm,” released Bai Bing, got into the car, and instructed Xiao Zhan, “Take me home.”
“Yes!”
Xiao Zhan drove the car, taking Ye Qiu home.
Ten minutes later.
Ye Qiu arrived downstairs and instructed Xiao Zhan, “Book a ticket to Miaojiang for Su Xiaoxiao as well…”
Before he could finish.
His phone suddenly rang.
Ye Qiu took out his phone and saw it was a call from the War God, his heart sinking instantly, an uneasy feeling welling up.
He quickly answered the call.
Ye Qiu asked, “Chief, has something new happened in Miaojiang?”
“Ye Qiu, I just got news that Qinglong is critically injured and Kylin is in bad shape too. Fortunately, Tang Fei arrived with his men in time, or they would have met with disaster,” the War God asked, “Ye Qiu, where are you?”
Ye Qiu said, “I’m back in Jiangzhou, preparing to go to Miaojiang immediately.”
The War God didn’t ask why Ye Qiu returned to Jiangzhou but said, “I’ll call Gu Feng and Yang Qi, stationed at the Underworld Palace in Jiangzhou, to arrange an armed helicopter to take you to Miaojiang. I’ll send Tang Fei’s location to them, and you can head there to meet up with him directly.”
“Alright,” Ye Qiu agreed without hesitation.
The War God continued, “Now that Cao Yuan is dead, Qinglong and Kylin are injured, Dragon Gate can only rely on you to take charge.”
“I’ve instructed Tang Fei that once you arrive, all actions will be under your command.”
“Miaojiang is in a remote mountainous area, with many places lacking signal, so Diao Chan won’t be able to help you much this time.”
“Ye Qiu, once you’re in Miaojiang, you’ll have to rely on yourself.”
“Remember, no matter what, Dragon Gate must not fall into chaos.”
“And, if possible, wipe out the Witch God Sect. This evil organisation should have ceased to exist long ago.”
Clearly, Cao Yuan’s death had angered the War God as well.
“Rest assured, Chief, I’ll make the Witch God Sect disappear from this world forever.”
Ye Qiu hung up the phone and said to Xiao Zhan, “No need to book tickets, wait for me here.”
Ye Qiu quickly went upstairs, placed the Qiankun Cauldron at home, then grabbed the Emperor Sword Chixiao and hurriedly left.
After getting into the car.
Xiao Zhan asked, “Boss, where are we going now?”
“Wait a moment,” Ye Qiu sat in the car and waited.
Five minutes later.
His phone received a text message.
Ye Qiu then instructed Xiao Zhan, “Go to the Jiangzhou Military District.”
Twenty minutes later.
Ye Qiu arrived at the military district.
From a distance, he saw a helicopter already started, with Gu Feng and Yang Qi standing nearby.
As he got out of the car, Ye Qiu reminded Xiao Zhan, “Remember what I told you, I’m entrusting Jiangzhou to you.”
“Don’t worry, Boss, Jiangzhou will be fine with me,” Xiao Zhan, tempered by recent experiences, had matured.
Ye Qiu carried Su Xiaoxiao and quickly boarded the helicopter.
Soon, the helicopter soared into the sky.
Three hours later, the plane landed deep in the rugged mountains.
Ye Qiu, carrying Su Xiaoxiao, disembarked and saw Tang Fei and Long Ye, surrounded by two hundred heavily armed soldiers standing at attention.
“Ye Qiu, why did you bring a woman?” Tang Fei asked.
“She’s the Saintess of the Witch God Sect,” Ye Qiu said.
Hm?
Curiosity flashed across Tang Fei and Long Ye’s faces as they glanced at Su Xiaoxiao.
“Why is she unconscious?” Long Ye asked.
“I knocked her out,” Ye Qiu said to Gu Feng and Yang Qi, who had come with him, “I’m leaving Su Xiaoxiao in your care. Keep an eye on her.”
Yang Qi, somewhat concerned, asked, “How skilled is she? Will she resist when she wakes up?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve sealed her acupuncture points. She’s just an ordinary person now,” Ye Qiu said, roughly tossing Su Xiaoxiao to the ground.
At this moment, he had no inclination for gentleness.
Not to mention, this woman was the Saintess of the Witch God Sect.
Then, Ye Qiu asked Tang Fei, “I heard Qinglong and Kylin are injured. Where are they?”
“Follow me,” Tang Fei, with a grim expression, led Ye Qiu into the forest, saying as they walked, “Kylin’s condition is slightly better, just a few broken bones and some internal injuries. He’s in a coma.”
“As for Qinglong, he’s gravely injured. Whether he can be saved depends on your skills.”
Ye Qiu asked, “What about Jiuqiansui…”
Before Ye Qiu could finish, Tang Fei said, “I didn’t see Cao Yuan’s body. You’ll have to ask Qinglong and Kylin for the details when the time comes!”
Ye Qiu nodded.
After a few minutes of walking, two tents appeared, guarded by dozens of soldiers.
Tang Fei led Ye Qiu into one of the tents.
Upon entering, Ye Qiu’s eyes turned red.
Qinglong lay on a camp bed, his clothes soaked in blood, his body covered in countless wounds.
By Ye Qiu’s estimate, Qinglong had at least twenty wounds visible at a glance—cuts, gunshot wounds, and injuries from hidden weapons, with bones exposed in several places, a shocking sight.
A military doctor stood by Qinglong’s side.
“Report the situation,” Tang Fei ordered the doctor.
The doctor said, “The patient has thirty-four wounds in total, three broken ribs, and severe lumbar spine damage. Even if he survives, he’ll likely spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair…”
“Enough nonsense. Tell me, where’s his fatal injury?” Ye Qiu asked.
The doctor replied, “The fatal injury is near the patient’s heart, where a poisoned needle is embedded, about five millimetres from the heart. The critical issue is that the poison has already spread into his heart’s meridians.”
The situation was dire.
Ye Qiu immediately crouched down, pulled out golden needles, and, without time to sterilise them, acted swiftly.
Swish!
Ye Qiu inserted three five-inch golden needles around Qinglong’s heart in a flash, then lifted Qinglong and pressed a palm against his back.
His inner energy surged wildly.
Ten seconds later.
Whoosh—
A poisoned needle shot out from Qinglong’s chest.
Then, Ye Qiu grabbed Qinglong’s wrist, activated his Heavenly Eye, and examined Qinglong’s blood vessels.
After half a minute.
Ye Qiu took a seven-inch golden needle, pierced it into Qinglong’s heart, and treated all the other wounds on his body before standing up.
“When will he wake?” Tang Fei asked.
Ye Qiu shook his head, “A large amount of poison has entered Qinglong’s heart meridians. He won’t wake up for now.”
“There’s only one way to save him, and that’s a blood transfusion, but it must be…”
“A full-body blood transfusion!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 872
A full-body blood transfusion!
Upon hearing these words, Tang Fei immediately said, “I’ll arrange for someone to send Qinglong to the capital at once.”
“There’s no time,” Ye Qiu said. “Although I’ve used golden needles to suppress the poison, it can only hold for two hours at most.”
“Within two hours, Qinglong must have a blood transfusion.”
“Otherwise, once the poison fully invades his heart, Qinglong will surely die.”
Two hours!
Tang Fei’s heart sank as he said, “The nearest military hospital is over an hour away, and with the time needed for a blood transfusion procedure, two hours won’t be enough.”
Ye Qiu said, “There’s only one option now, and that’s to perform the blood transfusion here for Qinglong.”
The military doctor nearby said, “This is the wilderness. We don’t have blood transfusion equipment or a blood supply. Performing a blood transfusion here is unrealistic.”
Ye Qiu ignored the doctor and asked Tang Fei, “Are there any Witch God Sect members nearby?”
“Quite a few,” Tang Fei said. “In the jungle ten miles away, there are over twenty Witch God Sect disciples. I’ve sent two men to keep watch.”
“Excellent,” Ye Qiu instructed the military doctor, “Help clean the bloodstains off Qinglong’s body.”
“Be gentle.”
“And don’t touch any of the golden needles in him. Wait for me to return.”
Ye Qiu then said to Tang Fei, “Take me to those Witch God Sect members.”
“What are you going to do with them?” Tang Fei asked, puzzled.
Ye Qiu said, “To find a blood source for Qinglong.”
Tang Fei instantly understood Ye Qiu’s intention and said, “I’ll call Long Ye and have him bring more men.”
“No need. Just the two of us will go. Have Long Ye stay here to guard against a sneak attack from the Witch God Sect,” Ye Qiu said. “Fewer people make it easier to move.”
Tang Fei knew Ye Qiu’s formidable skills and said no more. He gave Long Ye a quick order, then led Ye Qiu straight to the jungle.
The two moved swiftly.
They covered the ten-mile distance in no time.
From afar, Ye Qiu spotted two soldiers lying on the ground, using leaves for cover—one aiming a sniper rifle, the other observing with binoculars.
Whoosh!
Ye Qiu flashed forward, appearing beside the two soldiers.
“Give me the binoculars!”
The sudden voice startled the two soldiers, especially the one with the sniper rifle, who quickly rolled on the ground, aiming the muzzle at Ye Qiu.
“Doctor Ye!”
The soldier froze.
Ye Qiu felt the soldier looked familiar and asked, “Have we met?”
“He’s one of Long Ye’s men. He was involved in destroying the secret base in the northwest last time,” Tang Fei explained. “Later, Long Ye brought them into the Underworld Palace, and he usually takes them on missions.”
Ye Qiu nodded, understanding.
“Doctor Ye, here.”
The other soldier handed the binoculars to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu took a look and saw, a hundred metres away in a patch of woods, over twenty Witch God Sect members sitting on the ground, chatting idly.
Some carried knives, others had guns slung over their shoulders. They were shirtless, with tattoos on their arms, looking fierce and menacing.
Ye Qiu said to Tang Fei, “Stay here and don’t move. I’ll deal with them.”
Tang Fei hurriedly said, “Ye Qiu, what’s your plan? I’ll help you.”
“No need. Just a bunch of trash. I can handle them alone,” Ye Qiu said, then vanished in a flash.
So fast!
Tang Fei was stunned. He noticed that Ye Qiu’s speed was even faster than the last time they met.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Qiu charged into the group of Witch God Sect members.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ye Qiu moved with lightning speed. In an instant, the twenty-plus Witch God Sect disciples all collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Incredible!
Tang Fei and the two soldiers watched in shock.
Over twenty people, and in front of Ye Qiu, they didn’t even have a chance to fight back. It was terrifying.
Ye Qiu took out golden needles and began testing their blood one by one.
A few minutes later.
Ye Qiu waved to Tang Fei.
Tang Fei and the two soldiers quickly approached.
Ye Qiu pointed to an unconscious Witch God Sect disciple and said, “This guy’s blood type matches Qinglong’s. Take him back.”
“Alright.”
Tang Fei ordered the two soldiers, “Take this guy back to the camp. Make sure he doesn’t die.”
“Yes!”
The two soldiers hoisted the Witch God Sect disciple and hurriedly returned to the camp.
“What about the rest?” Tang Fei asked, pointing to the unconscious Witch God Sect members.
Ye Qiu didn’t respond. He picked up a long knife from the ground, walked to a Witch God Sect disciple, and slashed.
Instantly, the disciple’s throat was slit, blood gushing out, and he died on the spot.
Then, Ye Qiu moved to another Witch God Sect disciple and struck again.
Thud!
The second disciple died.
Tang Fei stood by, his expression cold, neither persuading nor stopping Ye Qiu, as the Witch God Sect’s evildoings truly warranted death.
Ye Qiu swung the knife over twenty times, slaughtering all the Witch God Sect disciples on the scene.
Not a single one was spared.
Then, he turned and left.
Back at the tent.
Ye Qiu instructed the military doctor, “Get me an IV tube.”
“Alright.”
The doctor quickly left and returned two minutes later with a medical kit.
The doctor opened the kit, took out an IV tube, and handed it to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu kicked the Witch God Sect disciple to Qinglong’s side, then inserted one end of the IV tube into the disciple’s arm vein and the other needle into Qinglong’s arm vein.
Seeing this, the military doctor was shocked. “You’re planning to do a blood transfusion like this?”
“Is there a problem?” Ye Qiu countered.
“Absolutely not,” the doctor said. “Blood transfusions require professional equipment. Using just an IV tube is reckless. I’ve been a doctor for years and have never seen a doctor like you, and—”
“Shut up!” Tang Fei interrupted the doctor, coldly saying, “Do you know who this is? He’s Ye Qiu, the first Medical Saint of Chinese medicine in three hundred years.”
Medical Saint?
The doctor glanced at Ye Qiu and said, “Even a Medical Saint can’t play with lives like this.”
“You—” Tang Fei was about to reprimand the doctor.
“Don’t believe me? Then prepare to witness a miracle!” Ye Qiu said, pressing a finger on the Witch God Sect disciple’s body.
He did this to prevent the disciple from waking during the transfusion.
Then, he used a dagger to cut open Qinglong’s wrist vein, letting the blood gush out.
Next.
Ye Qiu placed his left hand on the Witch God Sect disciple’s head and his right on Qinglong’s, frantically channeling his inner energy.
In an instant, the blood from the Witch God Sect disciple flowed rapidly through the IV tube into Qinglong’s body.
Miracle Doctor Chapter 873
Time slipped by quietly.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
In the blink of an eye.
Half an hour had passed.
The blood from the Witch God Sect disciple flowed steadily through the IV tube into Qinglong’s body.
Qinglong’s complexion gradually improved.
As Qinglong received the disciple’s blood, the blood originally in his body was rapidly drained through his wrist.
Soon, the Witch God Sect disciple’s face turned deathly pale, looking as though he would die any moment.
The military doctor stood nearby, watching in shock and anger, silently cursing Ye Qiu in his heart.
“What kind of blood transfusion is this? It’s utterly reckless.”
“If Qinglong doesn’t survive, this Witch God Sect member will die too. What will you do then?”
“Some Medical Saint, more like nonsense!”
Time continued to pass.
An hour later.
The Witch God Sect disciple’s blood was completely drained, and he died.
Ye Qiu checked Qinglong’s pulse and found that the poison that had invaded Qinglong’s heart had been expelled with the blood.
Ye Qiu drew a hemostatic talisman to stop the bleeding from Qinglong’s wrist.
After completing this.
Ye Qiu retrieved the golden needles from Qinglong’s heart. The hand that had been pressing on Qinglong’s head swiftly moved to his back, channeling a wisp of innate true qi into him.
Moments later.
Qinglong slowly opened his eyes.
“It worked?” The military doctor stood dumbfounded.
Ye Qiu paid no attention to the doctor and asked Qinglong, “How do you feel?”
“Ye Qiu, why did you take so long to get here? You’re too late, Jiuqiansui is gone…” Qinglong said, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes.
A man doesn’t shed tears lightly, only when his heart is truly broken!
Qinglong was a tough man, usually willing to bleed rather than cry, but now he wept, revealing the depth of his grief.
Ye Qiu’s eyes also welled up as he asked, “Qinglong, tell me, what exactly happened after you arrived in Miaojiang?”
Suppressing his sorrow, Qinglong said, “Jiuqiansui’s plan to attack the Witch God Sect was meticulously prepared and thoroughly considered, virtually foolproof.”
“Kylin and I followed Jiuqiansui, leading ten thousand Dragon Gate disciples on a thousand-mile raid from the capital into Miaojiang.”
“We took down dozens of Witch God Sect branches in one fell swoop, crushing them completely, and with lightning speed, we closed in on their headquarters.”
“Last night, in the early hours, we were less than five miles from the Witch God Sect headquarters.”
“Because it was dark and we weren’t familiar with Miaojiang’s terrain, plus the Witch God Sect’s ruthless tactics and some members’ expertise in gu poison, which was hard to guard against, Kylin and I discussed with Jiuqiansui, suggesting we wait until dawn to act.”
“But Jiuqiansui didn’t take our advice.”
“He decided to take down the Witch God Sect headquarters under the cover of night, aiming to end the battle before dawn.”
“We followed Jiuqiansui’s orders and quickly approached the headquarters.”
“But unexpectedly, when we were very close to the headquarters, a man in black appeared, saying he wanted to talk to Jiuqiansui. Jiuqiansui agreed.”
“Their conversation was hushed. I don’t know what they said, but when Jiuqiansui returned, he looked excited, as if something joyful had happened.”
“Then, Jiuqiansui ordered a halt to the attack on the Witch God Sect headquarters.”
“He called Kylin and me aside and gave us some instructions.”
“Kylin and I felt Jiuqiansui’s behaviour was unusual, so we asked what he was planning.”
“Jiuqiansui said he would go to the Witch God Sect headquarters alone to verify something.”
“Of course, Kylin and I objected. Jiuqiansui doesn’t know martial arts, and the Witch God Sect headquarters is a dangerous place—he’d likely face grave peril. But Jiuqiansui was resolute, insisting on going.”
“When Kylin and I couldn’t dissuade him, we offered to escort him to the headquarters, but he refused, saying that if he encountered danger, we wouldn’t be able to help and would only become a burden.”
“Kylin and I didn’t understand what he meant and continued to persuade him. In frustration, Jiuqiansui revealed his strength to us.”
At this, a look of admiration appeared on Qinglong’s face.
“Ye Qiu, did you know? All these years, Jiuqiansui has been hiding his true strength.”
“Back then, he and the Witch God Sect’s Saintess were in love, but they were both captured by the sect. The Saintess was burned to death, and Jiuqiansui had his cultivation destroyed and was tortured, becoming a eunuch.”
“But he didn’t lose heart. Instead, fueled by vengeance, he endured humiliation.”
“All these years, he’s been secretly training in martial arts.”
“And for decades, even through life-threatening crises, he never revealed it.”
“Only last night, when Kylin and I pressed him too much, did he show us his true power.”
“It turns out, Jiuqiansui was a supreme master who had cultivated five streams of true qi.”
What?
Ye Qiu was stunned. Cao Yuan was a supreme master with five streams of true qi?
“You didn’t expect that, did you?”
Qinglong glanced at Ye Qiu and said, “Not just you, Kylin and I were shocked too.”
“We’ve been by Jiuqiansui’s side for years, practically inseparable, and never noticed how strong he was.”
“After Jiuqiansui revealed his strength, Kylin and I stopped trying to dissuade him.”
“We figured with his skills, unless he faced one of the top few on the God List, he’d be hard to threaten.”
“Before leaving, Jiuqiansui instructed that if he didn’t return by dawn, Kylin and I should lead the attack on the Witch God Sect headquarters.”
“We waited until dawn, but Jiuqiansui didn’t come back.”
“So, we followed his orders and attacked the headquarters. When we stormed in, we found it deserted, with only bloodstains and hundreds of corpses left behind.”
“Kylin and I had a bad feeling then.”
“Sure enough, when we counted the bodies, we found Jiuqiansui.”
“But he was no longer a living person, just a corpse.”
Ye Qiu’s heart turned cold.
Though he had already heard of Jiuqiansui’s death, coming to Miaojiang, he’d held a faint hope that the news was false.
Now, hearing Qinglong confirm it, he could no longer hold back, tears falling on the spot.
“Did Jiuqiansui suffer when he died?” Ye Qiu asked.
Qinglong wiped his tears and said, “When we found him, he was already dead, with dozens of wounds on his body and a long sword piercing his heart.”
“Jiuqiansui’s death crushed the morale of the Dragon Gate disciples. As Kylin and I were leaving the Witch God Sect headquarters with his body, we were ambushed by many of their experts. I was injured and passed out during the fight, so I don’t know what happened after.”
“Oh, right…”
Qinglong suddenly remembered something and pulled a token from his pocket.
Ye Qiu recognised it immediately—it was the Dragon Gate Master Token.
Qinglong handed the token to Ye Qiu and said, “Jiuqiansui instructed that if anything happened to him, you are to take over as Master and lead Dragon Gate!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 874
Ye Qiu took the Sect Master’s Token, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He never expected to take charge of Dragon Gate in this manner.
Back in Yangcheng, before the battle between Nine Thousand Years and Wei Lenan, the Great Elder of the Witch God Sect, Nine Thousand Years had also handed the Sect Master’s Token to Ye Qiu, though Ye Qiu later returned it.
Unexpectedly, after only a few months of knowing each other, they were now separated forever.
Ye Qiu understood that Nine Thousand Years entrusted him with the Sect Master’s Token not only out of trust but also in the hope that he would lead Dragon Gate’s disciples to expand their territory.
“Nine Thousand Years, rest assured, I will not let you down. I will carry forward your aspirations, leading Dragon Gate’s disciples to crush the Witch God Sect, sweep through the Divine Land, and unite all underground forces.”
Ye Qiu put away the Sect Master’s Token and asked Qinglong, “You mentioned earlier that Nine Thousand Years went alone to the Witch God Sect’s headquarters to verify something?”
“Yes,” Qinglong nodded.
Ye Qiu asked further, “Do you know what it was that Nine Thousand Years wanted to verify?”
Qinglong shook his head, saying, “I don’t know, but it was clear that this matter was extremely important to him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such a risk to infiltrate the Witch God Sect’s headquarters alone.”
Ye Qiu frowned slightly.
What exactly was Nine Thousand Years trying to verify?
Ye Qiu continued, “Before Nine Thousand Years left, apart from leaving the Sect Master’s Token, did he leave anything else or say anything?”
Qinglong replied, “Besides instructing me to give you the Sect Master’s Token, he also left an iron box with Qilin, asking Qilin to pass it to you.”
“By the way, how is Qilin?”
Tang Fei said, “Qilin is injured and unconscious, in the tent next door.”
“I’ll go see him,” Qinglong said, struggling to stand, only to realise his lower body wouldn’t move. His expression faltered, and he asked Ye Qiu gravely, “Am I crippled?”
Ye Qiu’s eyes widened, “Nonsense! With me here, you won’t be crippled.”
“But I can’t even stand now. What am I if not a cripple?” Qinglong looked at Ye Qiu, saying, “Be honest with me, will I never stand again?”
Ye Qiu told Qinglong, “Your lumbar spine and sacrum are injured, causing damage to the sciatic nerve. I’ve already treated you, but you won’t be able to stand for three days.”
“After three days, you’ll be able to move freely, but for six months, you must avoid exertion.”
“With six months of rest, your body will recover fully.”
“Trust my medical skills.”
Qinglong’s face darkened as he said, “So, I can’t avenge Nine Thousand Years. I really wanted to personally slaughter those Witch God Sect bastards.”
Ye Qiu advised, “Qinglong, Dragon Gate has suffered heavy losses this time. You and Qilin can’t afford any more trouble. Listen to me, focus on recovering. As for Nine Thousand Years’ vengeance, leave it to me. I promise the Witch God Sect will pay in blood.”
“Yes,” Qinglong nodded firmly.
“Rest for now, I’ll check on Qilin,” Ye Qiu patted Qinglong’s shoulder, then instructed the medic standing nearby, “My brother just woke up and is still weak. Please look after him.”
“Of course,” the medic nodded.
Ye Qiu and Tang Fei left the tent and entered the one next door.
Upon entering, Ye Qiu saw Qilin.
Qilin lay on a stretcher, eyes closed, face pale, with a young medic tending to him.
Ye Qiu stepped forward, grasping Qilin’s pulse while examining his injuries.
Seizing the moment, Tang Fei asked the young medic, “How’s Qilin doing?”
The medic stood at attention, saluted Tang Fei, and said, “Reporting, sir, the patient’s condition is strange.”
Tang Fei frowned, “Strange how? Explain.”
“Yes, sir,” the medic replied, “I conducted a full examination. Apart from a few broken ribs, he only has minor external injuries. By all accounts, he should have woken up by now.”
“As for why he remains unconscious, I can’t find the cause.”
“Useless!” Tang Fei scolded the medic, “You can’t even figure out why he’s unconscious. What good are you?”
The medic bowed his head in shame.
“Don’t blame him, he’s done well,” Ye Qiu said, noting that Qilin’s external injuries had been treated, apart from three broken ribs. He added, “The main reason for Qilin’s coma is that he’s been poisoned by a gu.”
Gu poison!
The young medic’s eyes widened in fear.
Ye Qiu released Qilin’s pulse and used the Heaven-Mending Hand. A series of cracking sounds followed.
In no time, Ye Qiu had realigned Qilin’s three broken ribs. He then drew two talismans to fully heal Qilin’s injuries.
After finishing, Ye Qiu said to Tang Fei, “Give me the dagger.”
Tang Fei handed over the dagger.
Ye Qiu took it and made a small cut on Qilin’s right index finger, letting blood flow out.
Next, he held Qilin’s pulse, channelling a wisp of innate energy into him.
At the same time, Ye Qiu activated his Heavenly Eye.
As his vision pierced Qilin’s blood vessels, he saw a tiny gu worm darting through, evading the innate energy.
Ye Qiu urged the innate energy to pursue the gu worm. In less than ten seconds, the worm crawled out from the cut on Qilin’s finger.
The gu worm was minuscule, one-tenth the size of a sesame seed, resembling an ant with wings on its back.
As it emerged from Qilin’s finger, its wings fluttered, attempting to escape.
But Ye Qiu was faster.
Swish!
The dagger flew, slicing the gu worm apart.
Ye Qiu drew a blood-stopping talisman to seal the cut on Qilin’s finger, then slapped Qilin’s back.
“Ugh—”
Qilin spat out a mouthful of blood and opened his eyes.
“Ye Qiu?”
Seeing Ye Qiu, Qilin’s eyes lit up. He grabbed Ye Qiu’s hand, urgently saying, “Go save Qinglong, he can’t hold on…”
“No need to worry about Qinglong, he’s fine,” Ye Qiu sent a surge of inner energy into Qilin, calming him.
Tears streamed down Qilin’s face as he said, “Ye Qiu, Nine Thousand Years is gone…”
Before Qilin could finish, Ye Qiu said, “Qinglong already told me.”
“I heard from Qinglong that before Nine Thousand Years left, he gave you an iron box. Where is it?”
Qilin said, “During the retreat, we were ambushed by the Witch God Sect. I was worried the box would fall into their hands, so I buried it somewhere.”
“Buried?” Ye Qiu’s expression shifted.
Qilin said, “Don’t worry, I marked the spot. I’ll take you there now…”
Whoosh—
The tent flap was suddenly pushed open.
Yang Qi rushed in from outside, saying to Ye Qiu, “Su Xiaoxiao is awake, she wants to see you!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 875
Ye Qiu asked Yang Qi, “Did Su Xiaoxiao say anything else besides wanting to see me?”
Yang Qi shook her head, “She only insisted on seeing you.”
Ye Qiu said to Kylin, “Come with me, and later take me to find the iron box.”
“Alright,” Kylin nodded in agreement.
Ye Qiu left the tent and found Su Xiaoxiao.
At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao was completely bound with ropes.
“What’s going on here?” Ye Qiu asked.
Gu Feng said, “Yang Qi was worried she’d escape, so she tied her up.”
Yang Qi looked uneasy, fearing Ye Qiu would blame her, but instead, Ye Qiu said, “Well done!”
Yang Qi was stunned.
Kylin saw Su Xiaoxiao and asked Ye Qiu in confusion, “Isn’t she a doctor from your hospital? Why did you tie her up?”
Ye Qiu said, “Her doctor identity is just a disguise. Her real identity is the Saintess of the Witch God Sect.”
“What?”
Kylin’s eyes flashed with killing intent. He drew a dagger and approached Su Xiaoxiao, intent on killing her.
“Stop!” Ye Qiu shouted.
Kylin acted as if he hadn’t heard, continuing to move toward Su Xiaoxiao.
“Kylin, I told you to stop!” Ye Qiu shouted again.
Only then did Kylin halt, saying, “Every scum from the Witch God Sect deserves to die. If it weren’t for them, Jiuqiansui wouldn’t be dead. Ye Qiu, let me kill her to avenge Jiuqiansui.”
Ye Qiu said, “Now’s not the time to kill her. As the Saintess of the Witch God Sect, she knows more about them than you or I do. Keeping her alive is useful.”
“I don’t care! As long as they’re from the Witch God Sect, I’ll kill every one I see, and if there’s two, I’ll kill them both.”
Ignoring the warning, Kylin, dagger in hand, advanced toward Su Xiaoxiao with murderous intent.
Su Xiaoxiao’s pretty face paled; she could tell Kylin genuinely wanted to kill her.
“Kylin, are you defying my orders and disregarding Dragon Gate’s rules?”
Ye Qiu spoke, pulling out the Master Token.
Seeing the token, Kylin’s expression stiffened. He dropped to his knees and said respectfully, “I pay my respects to the Master.”
“We’re brothers, no need for formalities.”
Ye Qiu helped Kylin up, saying, “I understand how you feel. To be honest, I also want to wipe out the Witch God Sect right now.”
“But Su Xiaoxiao is different.”
“Though she’s the Saintess of the Witch God Sect, she hasn’t colluded with their evil deeds. She’s treated many patients at Jiangzhou Hospital, which counts as doing good. I hope she can turn back from her path.”
“Besides, she’s useful to me right now.”
“Think about it, having the Witch God Sect’s Saintess in our hands is like holding a hostage.”
“Kylin, if you’re set on killing her, wait until we’ve destroyed the Witch God Sect.”
“Deal?”
Kylin pointed his dagger at Su Xiaoxiao and said coldly, “You wait. Once the Witch God Sect is gone, I’ll end you.”
Su Xiaoxiao shrank back, her face full of innocence.
Ye Qiu asked, “Why did you want to see me?”
“Ye Qiu, let me go,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Ye Qiu remained unmoved, saying, “Su Xiaoxiao, if you cooperate with me and tell me everything you know, I’ll not only let you go but also give you a chance to live.”
“No way!” Su Xiaoxiao said, “I swore before that I’d live as a member of the Witch God Sect and die as one of their ghosts.”
“Ye Qiu, you’d better give up on that idea. I won’t tell you anything about the Witch God Sect.”
“I’d rather die than betray them.”
Ye Qiu sneered, “Even if you don’t tell me, it doesn’t matter. I’m already in Miaojiang, and this time, I’ll eradicate the Witch God Sect.”
“And I’ll slaughter their disciples right in front of you.”
“Let’s see how long you can keep up that tough act.”
With that, Ye Qiu turned to leave.
“Bastard, let me go! Where are you going? Hey, don’t walk away…”
Bang!
A gunshot suddenly rang out from the forest.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly turned her head, seeing a bullet whistling toward her, just five metres away.
“Ah—”
Su Xiaoxiao screamed in terror.
At that moment, Ye Qiu’s figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the bullet with his body.
“Clang!”
The bullet hit Ye Qiu and was deflected instantly.
At the same time.
Tang Fei shouted, “Who the hell fired that shot? Show yourself!”
Long Ye rushed over, saying, “It wasn’t one of ours.”
Tang Fei’s expression changed, and as he prepared to send men to catch the shooter, Kylin had already charged out.
“Old Tang, protect Su Xiaoxiao. I’ll be right back,” Ye Qiu said, then dashed off like lightning.
“Stay alert!”
At Tang Fei’s command, dozens of soldiers with guns surrounded Su Xiaoxiao, guarding her carefully.
Su Xiaoxiao stared in the direction Ye Qiu had vanished, lost in thought.
He used his body to block a bullet for me. What’s he up to?
Does he think I’ll owe him and tell him about the Witch God Sect?
Hmph, I won’t fall for it!
Just then, several more gunshots echoed from deep in the forest.
A few minutes later, Ye Qiu and Kylin returned.
Ye Qiu was carrying a man’s corpse, which he tossed in front of Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the body and felt a jolt.
The corpse was of a man around thirty, with slightly curly hair, a beard, and a muscular build. His arm bore a black snake tattoo.
It was a distinctive mark of Witch God Sect disciples.
“Do you know him?” Ye Qiu asked.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.
“You’d better tell the truth,” Kylin barked.
Su Xiaoxiao pouted, “There are so many disciples in the sect. How could I know them all?”
Ye Qiu said, “It’s obvious the bullet was aimed at you.”
“I’m curious. You’re the Saintess of the Witch God Sect, so why would a disciple shoot at you?”
“How should I know!” Su Xiaoxiao huffed, “If you’re so curious, why didn’t you ask him before you killed him?”
“I wanted to, but unfortunately, he killed himself,” Ye Qiu explained. “When Kylin and I went to catch him, he knew he had no way out and took poison to end it.”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the corpse again. There were indeed no wounds on the body.
Ye Qiu said, “Su Xiaoxiao, I suggest you cooperate with me. That way, I can keep you alive. Otherwise, you might end up dead at the hands of your own people.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t budge, “Ye Qiu, you’ll get nothing from me.”
Since he couldn’t get answers, Ye Qiu stopped asking and said to the others, “Kylin, take me to find the item.”
“Old Tang, send a helicopter to take Qinglong back.”
“Long Ye, organise the team and follow me.”
“Listen up, everyone. If we encounter anyone from the Witch God Sect on the way, kill them without mercy!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 876
Ye Qiu led the group, heading towards the headquarters of the Witch God Sect.
Because when Qilin retreated, he buried the iron box not far from the Witch God Sect’s headquarters.
On the way.
Ye Qiu asked Qilin: “I heard from Qinglong that this time Longmen attacked the Witch God Sect with ten thousand people. Where are the others?”
“When retreating, they were all scattered, and we lost quite a few.” Qilin said, glancing back at Su Xiaoxiao with murderous intent in his eyes, angrily saying: “When I see the Witch God Sect people again, I won’t let a single one go.”
Ye Qiu found it strange: “Logically, even if Jiuqiansui died in battle, with your and Qinglong’s cultivation, it shouldn’t have been so disastrous? After all, the Witch God Sect lost many experts before.”
Qilin said: “You don’t know, the Witch God Sect still has experts, dozens of them whose skills are no weaker than mine or Qinglong’s.”
Ye Qiu’s heart sank.
He had long anticipated that the Witch God Sect still had experts, but he didn’t expect there to be so many.
You must know, Qinglong’s current skills could rank in the top ten of the Dragon List, and Qilin’s skills were also comparable to Dragon List-level experts.
However, Ye Qiu wasn’t particularly concerned. With his current skills, as long as they weren’t God List experts, they posed no threat to him.
What worried him most now was the killer of Jiuqiansui.
Jiuqiansui had cultivated five strands of true qi, a level of cultivation that held a place even on the God List, yet he still died at the Witch God Sect’s headquarters, indicating that there were God List-level experts stationed there.
“I’m more worried about those Longmen disciples. Without Qinglong and me leading them, if they encounter an attack from the Witch God Sect, they’ll be in trouble.”
“Moreover, this Miaojiang region has rugged mountains and complex terrain, with miasma appearing from time to time.”
“The climate here is very different from the capital. Although it’s already late autumn, the forests are often full of poisonous snakes, centipedes, spiders, and other venomous creatures.”
Qilin said with concern: “I wonder how those Longmen disciples are doing now?”
Ye Qiu suddenly thought of Han Long and Zhao Hu, saying: “Qilin, don’t worry. Han Long and Zhao Hu, the boss of Yangcheng, have come to Miaojiang.”
“Where are they?” Qilin asked hurriedly.
“I don’t know their exact location yet, but they arrived before me. If things went smoothly, they should be close to the Witch God Sect’s headquarters.”
Ye Qiu said, then asked Tang Fei: “Is there a way to contact Han Long?”
Tang Fei shook his head, cursing: “This damn place has no signal at all.”
Long Ye added: “Our walkie-talkies are useless beyond ten meters.”
“How far is it from the Witch God Sect’s headquarters?” Ye Qiu asked again.
Qilin answered: “Sixty kilometers.”
Ye Qiu said: “Do you still remember the route?”
Qilin nodded: “I remember.”
That’s good.
Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, then asked Qilin: “Qinglong told me that this plan to attack the Witch God Sect was carefully planned by Jiuqiansui for a long time. If it was planned for so long, why was this operation so sudden?”
Qilin shook his head: “I don’t know.”
“To be honest, Qinglong and I were also surprised.”
“Because according to Jiuqiansui’s original plan, we were supposed to wait until next spring to destroy the Witch God Sect.”
“Jiuqiansui suddenly moved up the plan. I think he must have had his reasons.”
“I even asked Jiuqiansui why he was in such a hurry to attack the Witch God Sect. He said that if we didn’t act now, it would be difficult to destroy the Witch God Sect later, and Longmen might even be swallowed by them.”
Ye Qiu frowned slightly.
It seemed that Jiuqiansui had launched the attack early to prevent some unforeseen event.
But what was the unforeseen event Jiuqiansui was worried about?
The group continued through the forest.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
A bullet shot rapidly towards Su Xiaoxiao.
Whoosh!
Ye Qiu’s body flashed, quickly grabbing the bullet in his palm.
“Be careful, there’s a sniper.” Long Ye shouted.
The warriors quickly dropped to the ground, taking cover, while some fired in the sniper’s direction, suppressing the enemy with firepower.
“Give me the gun.” Ye Qiu said to a warrior nearby.
Immediately, the warrior handed the rifle to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu took the gun, tapped his toes, and landed on a pine tree branch, then aimed forward and pulled the trigger from above.
Bang—
The bullet shot out.
The sniper was killed with one shot.
Ye Qiu observed the surroundings, confirming there was no danger before jumping down from the branch.
At this moment, Tang Fei ordered two warriors to rush forward and carry the sniper’s body back.
Thud!
The sniper’s body was thrown to the ground.
Ye Qiu glanced at it. The sniper was young, under thirty, with a buzz cut, shirtless, and a snake-shaped tattoo on his arm.
Clearly, this guy was from the Witch God Sect.
“Do you recognize him?” Ye Qiu asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.
“He came to kill you.” Ye Qiu said: “Su Xiaoxiao, I’ve saved you twice now. I advise you to cooperate with me.”
“Hmph, who knows if these assassins were arranged by you?” Su Xiaoxiao said: “The Witch God Sect’s people wouldn’t kill me.”
“Are you blind? Didn’t you see the tattoo on his arm? That’s the unique mark of your Witch God Sect.” Qilin cursed.
Su Xiaoxiao snorted coldly: “Anyway, the Witch God Sect’s people wouldn’t kill me.”
“Are you saying the people trying to kill you were arranged by me? Foolish.” Ye Qiu said: “If I wanted to kill you, it would be effortless. Besides, I don’t have time to arrange assassins to kill you.”
Su Xiaoxiao sneered: “Ye Qiu, stop pretending. The assassin was definitely arranged by you.”
“You want to get information about the Witch God Sect from me, but I won’t talk, so you staged this hero-saving-the-damsel act, hoping I’d be grateful and betray the Witch God Sect.”
“Let me tell you, Ye Qiu, I’m not a three-year-old. Your tricks won’t fool me.”
“You can give up. I won’t tell you anything about the Witch God Sect.”
After speaking, Su Xiaoxiao turned her face away, ignoring Ye Qiu.
“Stubborn fool!”
Ye Qiu snorted coldly, too lazy to deal with Su Xiaoxiao, and said to the group: “We’re now on the Witch God Sect’s territory. Everyone must stay alert and be ready for enemy attacks at all times.”
“You are all my brothers, and I have only one request: when we return, not a single one of you can be missing.”
“Can you do that?”
“Yes!” everyone roared in unison.
“Move out.” Ye Qiu gave the order, and the team continued forward.
Ye Qiu glanced back at Su Xiaoxiao, his heart full of doubts.
“Strange, she’s the saintess of the Witch God Sect. Why would the Witch God Sect’s people want to kill her?”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 877
The group continued forward.
The mountain path was rugged and difficult to traverse, some areas lacking any path at all, requiring Qilin to clear the way ahead.
After walking for a while.
“Stop!” Ye Qiu suddenly whispered sharply.
Instantly, everyone halted, as if facing a great enemy.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Fei asked quietly.
“Wait here for me.” Ye Qiu said, then with a few leaps, disappeared into the forest.
Everyone waited in place.
Five minutes later.
Ye Qiu returned, carrying two corpses, both from the Witch God Sect.
“There are Witch God Sect scouts in the forest, everyone be careful.” Ye Qiu instructed, giving Qilin a look.
Qilin understood and led the way ahead.
After about half an hour of walking.
“Stop!” Ye Qiu said again.
This time, Tang Fei sensed something unusual, sniffed the air, and said: “A strong smell of blood.”
“Long Ye, go check it out.” Ye Qiu instructed: “Be careful.”
Long Ye nodded, taking two warriors and quickly moving forward.
A while later.
Long Ye and the two warriors returned, their faces grim.
“What’s the situation?” Tang Fei asked.
“There was a brutal battle ahead, many people died.” Long Ye replied.
“Let’s go take a look.” Ye Qiu said, striding forward.
The group followed Ye Qiu, and as they went, the smell of blood grew stronger.
A few minutes later.
They arrived at a mountain hollow.
“Damn it, those cursed Witch God Sect.” Qilin cursed angrily, exuding a terrifying murderous aura.
Tang Fei’s face showed shock, while the warriors who came with him shivered.
Looking around, the hollow was filled with hundreds of corpses strewn about, both Longmen disciples and Witch God Sect members, the ground soaked in blood.
It was clear this battle had been ferocious.
Ye Qiu clenched his fists, the murderous intent in his eyes like an unsheathed blade, sharp and exposed.
“Tang Fei, can you lend me some men? I want to bury these Longmen disciples.” Qilin said.
“Sure.” Tang Fei agreed without hesitation.
Ye Qiu, however, said: “The dead are gone, let’s not waste time. We need to hurry on.”
“As for these fallen, leave them here for now.”
“Once we’ve destroyed the Witch God Sect, we’ll arrange for Longmen to collect their bodies, send them back, and bury them properly.”
“They are all heroes of Longmen. I will build a hero hall for them, for future generations to pay respects.”
Qilin nodded heavily, took one last look at the fallen Longmen disciples, and turned to leave.
The group set off again.
After advancing about thirty kilometers, Ye Qiu suddenly paused and made a hand signal.
Everyone stopped.
“There’s danger.” Qilin said, his eyes fixed ahead.
Tang Fei drew his pistol, ready to fire at any moment.
Long Ye and the soldiers stood ready, prepared to open fire.
Three minutes later.
A group of people appeared in Ye Qiu’s line of sight.
There were thirty or forty of them.
They were dressed sloppily, like a band of beggars, most shirtless, with snake-shaped tattoos on their arms.
Witch God Sect members!
A cold glint flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes, then his gaze settled on the two elders leading them.
The elder on the left was about one meter eighty, around sixty or seventy years old, tall and thin like a telegraph pole.
As he walked, his eyes, sharp as an eagle’s, constantly scanned the surroundings, extremely cautious.
Ye Qiu noticed that despite his thin frame, the elder’s temples bulged high, indicating strong skills.
“This guy’s cultivation is slightly stronger than Qilin’s, probably about the same as Qinglong.”
Ye Qiu’s gaze then fell on the elder on the right.
The elder on the right was a short, fat man, less than one meter fifty, bald, with a round face like a pancake, white and chubby, sporting a big belly, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.
“This guy’s cultivation is also good, about the same as Qilin’s.”
Ye Qiu saw through the short fat man’s cultivation at a glance.
“I’ve fought them before.” Qilin pointed at the tall, thin elder and said: “That guy injured Qinglong. Their skills aren’t weak, but…”
“But what?” Ye Qiu asked.
Qilin said: “When we fought them, they had at least a few hundred people. Why are there only this few now?”
Tang Fei chimed in, seeing the group, and said to Qilin: “When I rescued you, I shot and took out quite a few of them.”
That explained it.
Qilin asked Ye Qiu: “Take them out?”
“No question! Since we ran into them, kill them all.” Ye Qiu noticed that only five of the Witch God Sect group were carrying guns.
“Long Ye!” Ye Qiu beckoned to Long Ye, instructing: “Arrange snipers to take out those guys with guns first.”
“Yes!”
Long Ye immediately made arrangements, and moments later, signaled to Ye Qiu that it was done.
“Do it!”
At Ye Qiu’s command, Long Ye ordered the snipers: “Fire.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The five armed men were instantly killed.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” The Witch God Sect group shouted, descending into chaos.
Taking advantage of this, Ye Qiu and Qilin led their men, swiftly surrounding the group.
Seeing themselves surrounded, the two leading elders of the Witch God Sect had grim expressions.
At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao shouted to the two elders: “Uncle Gu, Uncle Long, save me.”
The two elders’ gazes fell on Su Xiaoxiao’s face, and they froze.
“Saintess!”
Su Xiaoxiao said again: “Uncle Gu, Uncle Long, save me.”
The two elders exchanged a glance, then shouted to the Witch God Sect disciples behind them: “Listen up, things have come to this, we must fight to the death for a chance to survive.”
“The saintess is in their hands now. No matter the cost, we must rescue her.”
“Kill!”
The two elders led the Witch God Sect disciples in a charge.
“Kill!” Qilin, unable to contain his murderous rage, rushed towards the short, fat elder with his blade.
Ye Qiu charged at the tall, thin elder.
Tang Fei and Long Ye led the others to deal with the rest of the Witch God Sect members.
A chaotic battle erupted.
As Qilin faced the short, fat elder, both unleashed deadly moves, their hatred for each other palpable, each eager to kill the other.
However, their skills were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand, locked in a fierce struggle.
After dozens of exchanges.
The short, fat elder feinted, dodging Qilin, then suddenly lunged, kicking Yang Qi and Gu Feng aside, and reached Su Xiaoxiao.
“Don’t be afraid, saintess, Uncle Long is here to save you.”
“Thank you, Uncle Long.”
But as soon as Su Xiaoxiao spoke, her expression froze. The short, fat elder swung his blade at her throat.
The killing intent was fierce.
Miracle Doctor Chapter 878
Su Xiaoxiao’s pupils shrank sharply.
She never imagined that Uncle Long, who had watched her grow up, would try to kill her.
Su Xiaoxiao wondered if Uncle Long had mistaken her for someone else or suspected she was an impostor.
“Uncle Long, look closely, it’s me, Xiaoxiao…”
“I know exactly who you are.”
The short, fat elder’s eyes gleamed with cold killing intent as he said: “Xiaoxiao, don’t blame me. Uncle Long doesn’t want to do this, but orders from above say to kill you on sight.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s face paled as she asked: “Whose orders? My sister’s?”
“Heh, the sect leader doesn’t have the authority to order me.” The elder’s blade inched closer to Su Xiaoxiao’s throat.
“Not my sister? Then who?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The elder smirked: “Saintess, you’re smart, you should be able to guess who in the sect can order me.”
“Could it be…” Su Xiaoxiao’s expression changed drastically, then she shook her head fiercely: “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“It seems you’ve figured it out. Xiaoxiao, don’t blame Uncle Long for being ruthless. If I defy the orders from above, I’m as good as dead.” The elder suddenly increased his force.
Swish!
The blade slashed straight at Su Xiaoxiao.
On the other side, Ye Qiu had already dispatched the tall, thin elder. Turning back, he saw the short, fat elder’s blade aimed at Su Xiaoxiao’s throat.
Ye Qiu flicked his finger, unleashing a Six Meridian Divine Sword.
Whoosh!
The sword qi pierced the air, instantly striking the blade.
Clang!
The long blade snapped in half. The elder jumped in fright, glanced at Ye Qiu, then drew a dagger and stabbed at Su Xiaoxiao’s heart.
At that moment, Gu Feng and Yang Qi opened fire on the elder.
Bang!
Bang!
The elder, agile, dodged the bullets, slipped behind Su Xiaoxiao, grabbed her neck with his left hand, and held the dagger under her ear with his right.
“Stop!”
The elder shouted: “Move again, and I’ll kill her.”
Tang Fei, Long Ye, and the others had just paused when Ye Qiu’s voice rang out: “Keep going, kill them all.”
Tang Fei was stunned. Did Ye Qiu not care about Su Xiaoxiao’s life?
The elder, hearing Ye Qiu’s words, showed a surprised expression.
“Kill!”
At Long Ye’s command, gunfire erupted, and dozens of Witch God Sect disciples were killed instantly.
Soon, only the elder holding Su Xiaoxiao remained.
“You’re the last one.”
Ye Qiu pointed at the elder: “Let Su Xiaoxiao go.”
“Hmph, you think I’m stupid? If I let her go, I’m dead.” The elder snorted coldly.
Ye Qiu said: “Release Su Xiaoxiao, and I’ll leave you an intact corpse. If you insist on holding her, I’ll make sure not even your bones remain.”
“Brat, don’t try to scare me! I wasn’t born yesterday!” The elder said: “Su Xiaoxiao is in my hands. If anyone moves, I’ll kill her.”
“If you want to kill her, do it quickly, stop wasting time.” Qilin cursed: “She’s your Witch God Sect’s saintess. If you don’t kill her, I’ll do it later.”
The elder’s face stiffened.
Right, how did he forget? Su Xiaoxiao was from the Witch God Sect.
Damn, he should have grabbed someone else.
The elder shifted his gaze to Yang Qi nearby, planning to target her.
Having fought Yang Qi earlier, he knew her skills were weak, and as a woman, she was easier to capture.
Ye Qiu noticed the elder’s gaze and said coldly: “Old man, I gave you a chance. Since you don’t appreciate it, I don’t mind sending you on your way.”
The elder looked at Ye Qiu and suddenly realized Ye Qiu’s figure had eerily vanished from its spot.
Where did he go?
Sensing danger, the elder prepared to kill Su Xiaoxiao and escape.
But before he could stab the dagger, his right arm was severed by a sword.
“Ah…”
The elder screamed in pain. Then Ye Qiu appeared beside him, sending him flying with a single punch.
As the elder soared through the air, there was a sudden “boom,” and his body exploded midair.
Blood and flesh splattered.
The crowd stood dumbfounded.
“Damn, one punch and he exploded?”
“Awesome!”
“Dr. Ye isn’t human!”
Tang Fei and Long Ye remained calm, having witnessed Ye Qiu punch a supposedly invincible super soldier to death at the northwest secret base.
Killing a person like this was child’s play for Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, whose face was pale, her eyes blank, lost in thought.
“Do you still think these people were arranged by me?”
Ye Qiu said: “This is the third time the Witch God Sect has attacked you, Su Xiaoxiao. Their stance towards you is clear. Are you sure you want to remain loyal to them?”
“Why do they want to kill you?”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head blankly: “I don’t know.”
“Stop lying!” Qilin shouted: “You’re the Witch God Sect’s saintess. Your own people want to kill you, and you don’t know why?”
“I really don’t know.” Su Xiaoxiao said loudly: “I’ve never betrayed the Witch God Sect. I don’t know why he wanted to kill me.”
“He?” Ye Qiu’s eyes narrowed as he asked: “Who are you talking about? The Witch God Sect’s leader?”
Su Xiaoxiao clamped her mouth shut, refusing to say more.
Ye Qiu continued: “Su Xiaoxiao, I don’t know why the Witch God Sect wants to kill you, but I believe as long as you’re alive, they’ll keep trying.”
“You’d better cooperate with me.”
“Only by cooperating with me do you have a chance to survive.”
Su Xiaoxiao remained silent.
“Think about it carefully!” Ye Qiu left her with that and called Tang Fei and the others aside.
Tang Fei said puzzledly: “Strange, she’s the Witch God Sect’s saintess. Logically, their people should treat her with respect. Why are they trying to kill her one after another?”
Long Ye said: “Those Witch God Sect bastards even kill their own. I suspect they’ve gone mad.”
“They’re already mad.” Qilin said: “Have you ever seen an organization that kills without motive or grudge? The Witch God Sect is like that. They act on whims, without restraint, killing as they please. What are they if not lunatics?”
Ye Qiu instructed: “I don’t know why the Witch God Sect wants to kill Su Xiaoxiao, but I know she must hold some secret, or she knows something about the sect.”
“If she’s willing to cooperate with me, it might yield unexpected results.”
“We’re getting closer to the Witch God Sect’s headquarters, and the dangers will only increase. Long Ye, assign heavy guards to protect Su Xiaoxiao. No matter what, keep her alive.”
Long Ye nodded: “Got it!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 879
The team continued forward.
Everyone was cautious along the way.
Because they were getting closer to the Witch God Sect’s headquarters.
About an hour later.
The forest ahead was shrouded in a white mist, making it look like a fairyland.
“Not bad scenery here. If we built a resort, it might do well.” Long Ye said with a smile.
Ye Qiu said: “Before the resort is built, people would be dead.”
Long Ye was stunned: “What do you mean?”
Ye Qiu pointed at the white mist: “That’s miasma, highly toxic. Inhale it, and you’re dead.”
“Damn!” Long Ye jumped in fright and asked: “What do we do now?”
Ye Qiu looked up at the sky: “In two hours, the sun will set, and the miasma will dissipate.”
Tang Fei quickly asked: “Are you saying we wait here until the miasma clears?”
Ye Qiu didn’t answer Tang Fei but asked Qilin: “The item isn’t buried in that forest ahead, is it?”
“No.” Qilin replied: “Pass through that forest, go another ten kilometers, and you’ll see some ancient tea trees. I buried the iron box under one of them.”
“Good.” Ye Qiu then said to Tang Fei: “We can’t wait here until sunset. We’ll detour around this forest.”
“Alright.” Tang Fei nodded.
The group changed course, bypassing the miasma-filled forest.
Along the way, they encountered three groups of Witch God Sect members, dozens in total, all taken out by Ye Qiu.
Finally, before sunset, Ye Qiu saw the ancient tea trees Qilin mentioned.
From fifty meters away.
The trunks of those tea trees were thicker than bathtubs, towering dozens of meters high, with lush branches and leaves.
Ye Qiu said to Long Ye: “If you want to make money, you could send people to harvest tea leaves every year.”
Long Ye scoffed: “What are tea leaves worth? Besides, with just a few trees, how much could you harvest?”
Ye Qiu laughed: “Don’t underestimate these trees. They’re wild, thousand-year-old tea trees. With good processing, a gram of tea could sell for hundreds of thousands.”
“What?” Long Ye was shocked.
At that moment, Qilin pointed to the thickest tea tree: “The iron box is buried under that tree. Ye Qiu, wait here, I’ll dig it up.”
“Wait!” Ye Qiu stopped Qilin.
“What’s wrong?” Qilin looked at Ye Qiu, puzzled.
Ye Qiu scanned the surroundings, then said loudly: “No need to hide, come out!”
Tang Fei and the others were startled, raising their guns, ready to fight.
But no one appeared.
“I’m telling you, if you don’t come out, I’ll personally send you to your graves!”
Ye Qiu’s voice carried a chilling murderous intent.
Five seconds later.
“Hahaha…”
A burst of laughter rang out.
Then, several figures emerged from behind the ancient tea trees.
Five men!
Four were elders, dressed in grey robes with swords at their waists, nearly identical in height and appearance.
Quadruplets!
The fifth was a young man in his twenties, holding a bow with a quiver on his back.
Ye Qiu glanced at them, noting their cultivation—all comparable to Dragon List experts.
His gaze lingered on the young man for two seconds.
At just over twenty, with such strong cultivation, his martial arts talent was remarkable. Given a few more years, he could break into the Dragon List’s top ten.
Su Xiaoxiao saw the young man and shouted: “Brother Hai, save me!”
The young man looked over, saw Su Xiaoxiao, and his face lit up with joy: “Xiaoxiao, how are you back?”
“They captured me, Brother Hai, save me!” Su Xiaoxiao urged.
Their relationship seemed close.
“Don’t worry, Xiaoxiao, I’ll save you.” The young man said, drawing a bamboo arrow from his quiver and aiming at Ye Qiu.
Then, he glanced at the four elders: “Masters, do we really have to do this?”
The four elders nodded simultaneously.
The young man took a deep breath, as if making a critical decision, then suddenly turned his arrow towards Su Xiaoxiao and drew the bowstring.
Whoosh!
The bamboo arrow shot towards Su Xiaoxiao.
Ye Qiu flicked a sword qi, shattering the arrow.
Instantly, the four elders and the young man’s gazes locked onto Ye Qiu.
That single sword qi made them realize this young man was no ordinary opponent.
Su Xiaoxiao was in disbelief. She never imagined the young man would try to kill her. Tears streaming, she asked: “Brother Hai, why? Why do you all want to kill me?”
“Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry, I don’t want to, but orders from above leave me no choice.” The young man said apologetically.
Su Xiaoxiao angrily said: “I’ve never done anything to betray the Witch God Sect. Why does he want to kill me?”
The young man shook his head: “I don’t know the reason. I’m just following orders.”
Ye Qiu picked up a hint from their conversation and said: “Su Xiaoxiao, see? This is the Witch God Sect you serve!”
“You’re loyal to them, yet they want you dead.”
“Is such an organization worth your loyalty?”
Ye Qiu stepped forward.
Qilin and Tang Fei moved to follow, but Ye Qiu stopped them: “No need to come. Just a few nobodies. I can handle them alone.”
Nobodies?
Hearing Ye Qiu’s words, the four elders and the young man were furious.
They held high status in the Witch God Sect, yet this unknown young man dared to belittle them—unacceptable.
Swish!
The four elders drew their swords simultaneously, and the young man nocked another arrow.
One elder shouted: “Kid, draw your sword. We’ll give you a dignified death.”
Ye Qiu sneered: “Draw my sword? You aren’t worthy.”
Then, he stepped forward.
His body moved like lightning, appearing before the four elders.
“Kill!” The elders charged at Ye Qiu.
But before they could get close, Ye Qiu’s fists struck first.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Four punches landed, and the elders’ bodies exploded on the spot.
Whoosh!
A bamboo arrow shot towards Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu caught it with a grip, then flung it back. The arrow turned into a streak of light, piercing the young man’s heart.
Thud!
The young man fell to the ground.
Not yet dead, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said weakly: “Xiaoxiao… run… leave Miaojiang… never… never come back…”
His head tilted, and he breathed his last.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the young man, tears streaming down her face.
“Qilin!” Ye Qiu called.
Qilin understood, quickly ran to the base of an ancient tea tree, dug up an iron box, and handed it to Ye Qiu.
Miracle Doctor Chapter 880
The iron box was ordinary, square, like a pencil case, with a small, delicate copper lock.
“Where’s the key?” Ye Qiu asked.
Qilin shook his head: “Jiuqiansui didn’t give me the key.”
Ye Qiu grasped the copper lock with his right hand, twisted it gently, and with a “click,” the lock opened.
Then, Ye Qiu opened the box.
A brand-new phone appeared in his sight.
Inside the iron box, there was nothing but the phone.
Ye Qiu took out the phone.
He powered it on.
A screen lock appeared.
“What’s the password?” Ye Qiu asked.
Qilin replied: “Jiuqiansui said the password is the date you first met.”
Ye Qiu thought for a moment, quickly entered a few numbers, and the screen unlocked.
Ye Qiu searched through the phone. It had no messages, no notes, no WeChat installed, only a video stored in the photo album.
He played the video.
Instantly, Jiuqiansui’s figure appeared.
Cao Yuan sat in a tent, dressed in a green robe.
Clearly, this video was recorded before he stormed the Witch God Sect’s headquarters alone.
Cao Yuan smiled and said: “Ye Qiu, when you see this video, I must already be dead.”
“Don’t grieve, because whether you’re a towering figure or an unknown peddler, death is everyone’s ultimate fate.”
“Birth, aging, sickness, death—it’s a process no one escapes.”
“Especially at my age, I’ve long made peace with death. To be honest, when I watched Su Zi burn at the stake years ago, I wanted to die and join her in the afterlife.”
“At that time, I was ready for death.”
“But the Witch God Sect didn’t kill me. They humiliated me, trampled my dignity.”
“It was their torment that rekindled my will to live. I swore to survive, to avenge Su Zi, to destroy the Witch God Sect.”
“That’s why I spent years planning and founded Longmen.”
“The Witch God Sect must regret not killing me back then, or they wouldn’t face such a formidable enemy today… I digress, let’s get to the point!”
“Ye Qiu, I know you have many questions. I’ll explain them here.”
“Are you curious why I suddenly attacked the Witch God Sect?”
Ye Qiu, seeing Jiuqiansui get to the main point, paused the video, walked aside, and resumed playing.
Cao Yuan said: “My original plan was to unify China’s underworld forces this year, then gather our core strength next spring to attack the Witch God Sect.”
“But a few days ago, I got word that the Witch God is coming out of seclusion.”
Witch God?
Ye Qiu was puzzled.
Who?
“You may not have heard of the Witch God. He’s the founder of the Witch God Sect, over a hundred years old, with formidable cultivation. When your father ranked the God List, the Witch God was second.”
What, the Witch God Sect has a God List second-ranked expert?
Ye Qiu was shocked.
Cao Yuan said: “Years ago, the Witch God had an accident while practicing, went mad, and his cultivation dropped to Tiger List level. After that, he vanished.”
“I thought he’d died after all these years, but it turns out this old thing is still alive, in seclusion, trying to restore his cultivation.”
“If he recovers, Longmen won’t be able to destroy the Witch God Sect anytime soon, and Longmen might even be wiped out by them.”
“So, I had to destroy the Witch God Sect before he emerges.”
“After the Witch God Sect crippled my cultivation years ago, I met a master by chance, who took me as a disciple and taught me martial arts. I’ve been secretly training, and I’ve cultivated five strands of true qi. Whether I can defeat the Witch God, I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate.”
“But if you’re watching this video, I must have failed.”
Cao Yuan’s tone was calm, as if discussing something trivial.
“Ye Qiu, I’ve entrusted the sect leader’s token to Qinglong to pass to you.”
“After my death, you’ll be the sect leader.”
“Though we haven’t known each other long, I trust you deeply. You’re loyal, trustworthy, broad-minded, upright, and your martial talent is extraordinary, with limitless potential. I’m confident entrusting Longmen to you.”
“I have two worries. First, I’m concerned Longmen’s morale will plummet after my death. Second, I worry about the ten thousand Longmen disciples I brought to Miaojiang, fearing they’ll face danger during retreat.”
“But I trust Qinglong and Qilin. They’ll find a way to lead the disciples through. If you and the War God come to their aid, they should escape Miaojiang alive.”
“Ye Qiu, I leave Longmen to you.”
“I hope you’ll lead Longmen to expand, unify China’s underworld, establish a new order, and make this society better.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu silently vowed: Jiuqiansui, rest assured, I won’t let you down.
Cao Yuan continued:
“I didn’t call you for this attack on the Witch God Sect because I didn’t want you involved in this battle.”
“I don’t know the Witch God’s status, so I had no confidence in this fight.”
“Keeping you out was to ensure that if something went wrong, Longmen’s elite wouldn’t be completely lost.”
“You’re young, with a bright future. Your medical skills are exceptional, and you save lives. It’d be a pity if you died with me in Miaojiang.”
“Besides, I had to leave a few capable people for Longmen.”
“I hope you understand my intentions.”
Cao Yuan picked up a jug of wine, took a few big gulps.
“Drunk on the battlefield, don’t laugh; how many return from ancient wars?”
In that moment, Cao Yuan was like a general heading to battle.
His spirit soared.
Cao Yuan continued: “After years of planning, I finally set foot in Miaojiang again. I have no regrets.”
“Ye Qiu, you might not know, but I just got some news.”
“This news excites me. Guess what? Haha…”
Cao Yuan laughed heartily, tears streaming down his face.
Ye Qiu could tell they were tears of joy.
What made Jiuqiansui so happy?
Ye Qiu was puzzled.
Then, Cao Yuan’s expression turned serious: “Ye Qiu, I have a favor to ask.”
“Please take care of my daughter.”
“Oh, by the way, you know her. She works at your Jiangzhou Hospital. Her name is Su Xiaoxiao.”
