Chapter 1163: Chapter 1163: Whoever Blocks My Way, I Shall Kill!

The higher-ups of Green Bamboo Stronghold noticed Fang Bai and three others gathered around the bamboo bed, solely focused on Su Linglong, seemingly ignoring their presence, which led them to exchange looks of dissatisfaction among themselves.

"Elder Wu, this friend you’ve brought is not simple at all! It’s one thing for him not to greet us elders and stewards, but he’s downright indifferent even to our Stronghold Chief!"

Elder Qi Dongyang of Green Bamboo Stronghold’s Enforcement Hall huffed towards Wu De, his tone filled with evident mockery.

Wu De knew that Fang Bai was preoccupied with Su Linglong’s injuries, which is why he had "neglected" the high officials of Green Bamboo Stronghold. He mentally chided Fang Bai a few times, then forced an awkward smile and said, "Well... Brother Fang has always been like this back in the Secular World... Elder Qi, please be magnanimous, no offense intended!"

But Gu Li did not take Fang Bai’s rudeness to heart, chuckling, "A Martial Dao Genius tends to have some pride after all!"

He then walked over to the bamboo bed and looked at Fang Bai with a hint of hopefulness in his eyes.

Although Gu Li did not believe Fang Bai could cure Su Linglong, he still harbored a wish for a miracle to occur.

"Brother Fang, can Linglong’s injury... be healed?"

Linghu Baimei looked up at Fang Bai and asked softly.

Although she never lacked confidence in Fang Bai, the thread of life sustaining Su Linglong was as fragile as a flame in the wind, which could be snuffed out at any moment, so she still had her worries.

After she asked this, everyone present turned their gaze towards Fang Bai.

Whether it was Fang Bai and his company or the Green Bamboo Stronghold higher-ups, no one wanted Su Linglong to perish. In order to save her, Gu Li was willing to pay any price, sparing no expense to exchange Cultivation Resources for Elixirs, and even prepared to send someone to the Shenwu Continent in search of the Thousand-Year Blood Bodhi to refine a high-quality Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill, underscoring the value placed on Su Linglong.

Fang Bai held one of Su Linglong’s arms as he probed her body with his Divine Sense, then lifted his head to glance at Linghu Baimei with a slight smile, saying, "Now that I’m here, Linglong won’t have any issues. It’s just that..."

"Just what?"

Upon hearing Fang Bai’s initial statement, Linghu Baimei let out a sigh of relief, but her heart tightened again at his hesitance.

Fang Bai explained, "Linglong has been in a coma for too long, with serious degradation of bodily functions and only sustained by the Wood Element Qi she absorbs to cling to life. To fully heal her injuries, it might take quite some time."

"Brother Fang, are you truly certain of this?"

Gu Li, seeing Fang Bai’s confident demeanor, suddenly became excited and asked anxiously.

Wu De, knowing that Fang Bai would not speak frivolously on the critical matter of Su Linglong’s life and death, assured, "Stronghold Head Gu, my friend Brother Fang never lies! Since he stated he can heal Linglong, there is hope for her!"

Though Gu Li was initially skeptical of Fang Bai’s words, Wu De’s reassurance greatly bolstered his hope. Overcome with emotion, he clenched his fists and fixed his gaze on Fang Bai, saying, "If Brother Fang can heal Linglong, Green Bamboo Hold will be eternally grateful!"

Then, realizing that Fang Bai and Su Linglong were already martial companions in the Secular World and that his offer might be somewhat superfluous, he hastily added, "Should you need any cooperation from Green Bamboo Stronghold, Brother Fang, please let me know, and I will do everything in my power!"

Fang Bai glanced at the bamboo building where Gu Li resided, sensing that the Wood Element Qi around it was the most pure and concentrated in the entire stronghold. Pointing towards the bamboo building, he said, "I need to seclude myself there for a while to heal Linglong. I hope no one disturbs me during this time."

The stronghold chief’s bamboo lodge is the most sacred place within the Green Bamboo Stronghold; it could even be called forbidden ground. Inside, many of the stronghold’s precious cultivation resources and core secrets are kept. Fang Bai, an outsider, actually wants to heal Su Linglong there, an unprecedented event since the establishment of the Green Bamboo Stronghold.

The high-ranking officials of the Green Bamboo Stronghold, upon hearing these words, each showed displeasure on their faces, feeling that Fang Bai’s actions considerably showed disrespect.

In fact, not just the Green Bamboo Stronghold, but any sect in the True Martial Realm would not easily allow an outsider to step foot in the Sect Master’s residence.

Fang Bai naturally understood this, but in his eyes, Su Linglong’s injuries were the most important. To heal Su Linglong as quickly as possible, he did not care about any forbidden ground.

Stronghold Head Gu’s eyes emitted a sharp gleam, sweeping over Fang Bai’s face. Seeing Fang Bai’s straightforward expression, clearly not intentional, he furrowed his brows and asked, "Must it be there?"

Fang Bai nodded and said, "That bamboo lodge is most suitable for healing and recovery; it’s naturally the best there. If you are not willing, then I will take Linglong away and find another suitable place to heal her!"

"How audacious!"

Before Stronghold Head Gu could speak, Elder Qi Dongyang from the Green Bamboo Stronghold’s Enforcement Hall already sternly rebuked, "Su Linglong is a disciple of our Green Bamboo Stronghold; how can you just take her away as you please?"

Fang Bai glanced at Qi Dongyang, his gaze turning cold as he said, "Su Linglong is my woman; it’s only natural for me to take her away! Whoever blocks me, I will kill!"

"What a presumptuous young man. I want to see whether you can actually take Su Linglong away!"

As a Green Bamboo Stronghold Elder, Qi Dongyang could be described as someone just below one person but above ten thousand others. Even Stronghold Head Gu showed him respect. Unexpectedly, Fang Bai, a mere Vast Level High Rank Martial Artist, actually dared to confront him, which made him extremely angry. He immediately released the oppressive might of a Cosmic Level High Rank powerhouse, covering Fang Bai with it.

Zhuge Lian, Linghu Qianjiao, and Hu Baimei, standing at Fang Bai’s side, felt the formidable pressure from Qi Dongyang. Their breathing stifled, their faces lost color, and they instinctively retreated behind Fang Bai.

"Brother Fang, Elder Qi, you are... Sigh, let’s talk this out, no need for violence!"

Seeing that a conflict was about to occur between Fang Bai and Qi Dongyang, Wu De became anxious. Thinking Qi Dongyang is a seasoned Cosmic Level High Rank powerhouse whereas Fang Bai could suffer a great loss if he were to confront him.

Stronghold Head Gu remained silent, his eyes blazing as he watched Fang Bai. He wanted to use Qi Dongyang to gauge Fang Bai’s capability; if Fang Bai couldn’t even withstand Qi Dongyang’s pressure, that would be a disappointment.

Stronghold Head Gu thought, since Fang Bai was confident in curing Su Linglong, he must possess some formidable ability. If he couldn’t bear Qi Dongyang’s pressure, then what skill could he possibly have to heal Su Linglong?

The high-ranking officials of the Green Bamboo Stronghold watched Fang Bai with amusement, seemingly anticipating the expression of pain that would appear on Fang Bai’s face the next moment, then begging Qi Dongyang for mercy.

Sadly for them, the oppressive might released by Qi Dongyang as a Cosmic Level High Rank powerhouse only made Fang Bai’s clothes flutter slightly; beyond that, it caused no disturbance whatsoever.

Fang Bai’s expression remained calm and collected, his gaze still carried a hint of chill, and the corners of his mouth tilted slightly upward, as if mocking Qi Dongyang for overestimating himself.

"How... how is this possible..."

Qi Dongyang looked at Fang Bai, astounded, murmuring to himself.

Stronghold Head Gu and the others were taken aback, they were astonished.
