Chapter 467: Chapter 467: The Return of Medicine Sect (4)

"Rise, all of you!" Ye Chenghong waved his hand, and a gentle breath of air lifted everyone’s bodies.

Everyone was startled; the Sect Leader’s cultivation power had deepened by much!

Observing the hundred or so people standing before him, Ye Chenghong nodded in satisfaction.

"Good! All of you have done well! The Medicine Sect has secluded itself from the world for twenty years, yet you didn’t waste this time. Compared to when I left, everyone’s strength has greatly improved. Very good!" Ye Chenghong’s praise, filled with confidence, made the Medicine Sect’s members ecstatic, their excitement and joy intensifying.

An Yiqing smiled as she watched her master interact with the Medicine Sect members, feeling secretly relieved. When she first returned to Xuandu City, the Medicine Sect had faced its first wave of traitors in hundreds of years, who nearly leaked the Medicine Sect’s Secret Technique after stealing it.

Fortunately, she arrived just in time and returned the secret technique intact.

This incident, however, served as a wakeup call for Ye Chenghong. Although the people of the Medicine Sect had always been united with a common purpose, dedicated to healing and saving lives, thus free from the deceit and intrigue of other sects, this did not rule out the presence of those with ulterior motives.

Therefore, after An Yiqing retrieved the secret technique from the traitors, Ye Chenghong instructed her to keep a close watch on the Medicine Sect and quickly root out those with treasonous intentions in a short period.

An Yiqing did not disappoint Ye Chenghong. In just one month’s time, with the cooperation of Bai Wuchang and several martial uncles, the few within the Medicine Sect harboring malicious intent were completely exposed!

Since then, the Medicine Sect had worked together in harmony, waiting unitedly for the return of their Sect Leader!

Today was the day! Ye Chenghong had returned! The Medicine Sect would shine brightly once again!

In the main hall, after the members of the Medicine Sect departed, only Ye Chenghong, the four Elders of the Medicine Sect, and Ye Chenghong’s junior martial brother, Nie Shan, remained.

The four Elders of the Medicine Sect oversaw the affairs of the sect and controlled the Medicine, Commerce, Martial, and Punishment Branches. The Great Elder, always upright and just, was responsible for the Punishment Branch. In his hands, no innocent person had ever been wrongly condemned, nor had any criminal escaped justice.

The Second Elder, robust and powerful, was in charge of the Martial Branch. His main duty was to supervise the ancient martial arts affairs within the Medicine Sect, responsible for enhancing the combat strength of its members.

The Third Elder, shrewd and possessing an appearance of simplicity but full of wisdom, managed the Commerce Branch. All the Medicine Sect’s businesses were supervised by him and his disciples, and he always kept everything in perfect order.

The Fourth Elder, next to Ye Chenghong, possessed the highest medical skills and the most extensive knowledge. He headed the Medicine Branch, responsible for all medical-related projects and activities within the Medicine Sect.

These four Elders had grown up together with Ye Chenghong and his junior martial brother, Nie Shan, sharing the same pants since they were but naked children. They had weathered decades of storms together and still remained highly united to this day, their deep bond needing no further words.

Aside from the four Elders, there was Nie Shan, Ye Chenghong’s junior martial brother. He was the youngest of the group, thirty years their junior. Currently, Nie Shan was a middle-aged man of forty, but due to his cultivation of ancient martial arts, this man in white appeared as a young man in the prime of life, with a gentle and dignified face, yet also a maturity and world-weariness beyond younger men. He held no official position within the Medicine Sect, always pursuing his own path and often leaving to experience life. Ye Chenghong had watched him grow up and simply followed his lead.

There’s said to be a generation gap every three years, and between Ye Chenghong and Nie Shan, there were ten such gaps. However, their relationship was surprisingly close.

Thirty years ago, shortly after Ye Chenghong’s master brought the ten-year-old Nie Shan back, he passed away. Ye Chenghong painstakingly raised little Nie Shan until he was twenty, their relationship a blend of both friendship and fatherly love. After Ye Chenghong secluded himself in Qingning City, no one in the Medicine Sect knew of his whereabouts, save Nie Shan, who alone occasionally saw Ye Chenghong during those twenty years.
