Bai Yulou lifted Bai Qishan into his arms and only then realized that Bai Qishan was now so emaciated, nearly reduced to skin and bones.
His whole body exuded an aura of doom, as if all hope was lost.
With an anxious face, he immediately looked up to find Zhou Yu.
"Zhou Yu, aren’t you skilled in medicine?"
"Quickly, save the old master!"
Bai Yutong also looked at Zhou Yu with tearful eyes.
"Brother-in-law, save Grandfather!"
Zhou Yu nodded, signaling everyone not to panic.
He immediately went over to Bai Qishan, crouched down, and took his pulse.
Under the tense gaze of the Bai Family, after a moment, Zhou Yu released his hand, then took out silver needles, quickly tearing open the clothes on Bai Qishan’s chest, and directly applied the Nine-Revolution Life Renewal Needle technique.
As the nine needles went down, Bai Qishan’s condition visibly improved a great deal, but he still remained unconscious.
"Zhou Yu, what about the old master..." Bai Yulou hastily asked.
Zhou Yu retrieved the silver needles and said,
"I’ve applied the needles and stabilized the old master’s vital energy for now; he won’t be in danger temporarily."
"However, he must receive treatment immediately."
Hearing this, Bai Yulou and the others grasped at this lifeline.
"Alright, we will follow your instructions."
"First, let’s get the old master out of here."
Without another word, Bai Yulou carried the old master and headed out.
Mengyun was reading a book in her room when suddenly her cell phone rang.
She pressed the answer button.
A voice came through on the other side of the call.
"Miss, the situation in the Nantai Mountain area has concluded."
"Zhou Yu has broken through to the Supreme Saint Realm on the battlefield, fought against two - defeating Hong Ligui and Gu Hongcai - and also triumphed over Gold Saber Jin."
"The Zhu Family and Tianyu Commerce have conceded voluntarily and have withdrawn from the Nantai Mountain area."
Hearing this, Mengyun showed a moved expression.
Gu Hongcai, Hong Ligui, Gold Saber Jin...
These individuals were all famous experts in Shanghai City; unexpectedly, Zhou Yu had managed to defeat them despite being outnumbered?
This fellow, he truly lived up to Grandfather’s expectations.
"How did he defeat these people?" Mengyun asked.
The voice on the phone said,
"It seems to be related to the Golden Cauldron Technique; for some reason, our men did not approach the battlefield, so we only heard bits and pieces and are not clear on the specifics."
Mengyun took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in her beautiful eyes, and nodded.
Just as Mengyun hung up the phone, before she could put it down, another call came in.
Mengyun saw it was from her grandfather, Ye Zhongshan.
She quickly answered the call.
Ye Zhongshan laughed,
"Mengyun, you know about what happened in the Nantai Mountain area, right?"
"He really is extraordinary!"
Ye Zhongshan chuckled,
"I’ve always felt this young man was someone special, that’s why I valued him so highly."
"For the time being, don’t come back; continue to stay in Haizhou and interact more with Zhou Yu."
Upon hearing this, Mengyun was startled, and being as clever as she was, she immediately sensed something off in Ye Zhongshan’s tone.
"Grandfather, you have something on your mind, don’t you?"
Ye Zhongshan laughed heartily.
"Mengyun, your grandfather has an important task for you."
Mengyun’s expression stiffened.
"Is it related to Zhou Yu?"
"The Punishment Hall has approached me, wanting to obtain the latter part of the Golden Cauldron Technique from Zhou Yu."
Hearing this, Mengyun was stunned.
After a moment, she came back to her senses, immediately shook her head, and said with a hint of anger,
"Grandfather, how could this be possible!"
"The Golden Cauldron Technique is Zhou Yu’s cultivation technique, how can the Punishment Hall forcibly take it?"
Ye Zhongshan coughed dryly and said,
"Mengyun, watch your words, this isn’t called forcibly seizing."
"Isn’t this why I’m discussing it with you on the phone, to find a way to persuade Zhou Yu to give it up willingly?"
"Grandfather, you..."
Mengyun stamped her foot in frustration.
"What’s the difference?"
"What does a discussion mean? Who would hand over their core cultivation technique?"
"No matter how you put it, aren’t you just asking me to forcibly seize it?"
"Mengyun, I know this is difficult for you."
"But the events in the Nantai Mountain area have proven that the Golden Cauldron Technique at the Saint Realm level is astonishingly effective. Such a cultivation technique must be controlled by the Punishment Hall; otherwise, it’s difficult to suppress the Martial Artists of the world."
"Mengyun, the Punishment Hall is our Ye Family’s power, this isn’t about helping outsiders..."
"This matter is of great importance..."
Over the phone, Ye Zhongshan also briefly explained the events that took place in the Nantai Mountain area.
Zhou Yu’s breakthrough on the battlefield, his Golden Cauldron Technique sweeping across all directions, three Mid-Holy Realm top masters were no match for him - this news was undoubtedly like an earthquake.
Mengyun sat still on the couch, her face filled with complex emotions.
She had forgotten when she hung up the phone.
After listening to her grandfather’s description over the phone, the Golden Cauldron Technique indeed seemed extraordinary - no wonder the Punishment Hall was envious.
But precisely because of this, asking Zhou Yu to hand over the technique was like talking in one’s sleep.
How could that possibly happen!
Yet, she couldn’t refuse the task her grandfather had entrusted to her.
She could also hear the helplessness in Ye Zhongshan’s voice.
She knew that if it weren’t a last resort, Ye Zhongshan would not have made this request of her.
Torn inside, Mengyun didn’t know how to broach the topic with Zhou Yu.
Just then, a rapid knocking came from the door of Mengyun’s room.
The heavy knocking woke Mengyun from her dilemma.
She frowned, walked to the door, and opened it to see.
Zhou Yu was standing at the door.
Seeing Zhou Yu, Mengyun was at a loss for how to react for a moment.
In her brief moment of distraction, she heard Zhou Yu urgently say,
"Miss Ye, I apologize for the intrusion, but I’ve come to ask for your urgent assistance with something!"
