I Can See Through All Things' Information

"Does that mean Ning Yan and Zi'an, their lives are still hanging by a thread?"

Wei Shanhai spoke with a furrowed brow.

Just now, Wei Xinghe had recounted all that had happened during this period.

This included the attempt to secretly send his wife and children away, a plan that ended up being discovered.

"But the lady and the young master should be fine, otherwise our adversaries would have already used them to threaten us," Housekeeper Wei analyzed, "The problem is we have no idea where they are now, whether they've already reached the State Mansion or are hiding somewhere."

"No matter what, we still need to confirm they are safe," Wei Shanhai said, "Xiaohai, arrange for someone to check the State Mansion first, then send others to scout outside the city."

"Yes, Grand Ancestor, I will make the arrangements right away," Housekeeper Wei responded.

Actually, they had wanted to do this for a long time, but the presence of Tian Cang Sect's people had been looming over them like a specter, preventing them from daring to send out anyone carelessly.

Now that the Grand Ancestor had returned, giving them a pillar of support, there were many tasks they felt reassured to undertake.

After Housekeeper Wei left to arrange for manpower, Wei Xinghe turned to the Grand Ancestor.

"Grand Ancestor, are your injuries not serious? Approximately when will you recover?"

"My injuries, I'm afraid, are beyond healing."

At this moment, a look of weariness suddenly appeared on Wei Shanhai's face, his energy rapidly waning, and he seemed to age considerably as he slumped into his chair.

"Grand Ancestor!"

Wei Xinghe shouted in alarm.

"Don't make a fuss," Wei Shanhai gestured with his hand and sighed, "Wang Cangyi's Innate Sword Energy is indeed formidable. Having been struck by his sword, though I avoided the brunt of the damage, my heart meridians are still gravely wounded by his Sword Qi."

"With the Grand Ancestor's strength, is it really not possible to expel the Sword Qi?"

"On my own, it's very difficult," Wei Shanhai shook his head, "Wang Cangyi's Innate Sword Energy is extremely toxic, akin to bone-corroding poison, entangling around my heart meridians. Given that our Cultivation levels are on par, I cannot guarantee the Sword Qi can be purged without further damage to my own heart meridians. I can only suppress it temporarily with my True Qi, preventing it from erupting."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xinghe grew anxious, "Then is there truly no other way?"

"Unless there's assistance from another Innate Realm expert, who can work both internally and externally with me, using gentle True Qi to protect my heart meridians, allowing me to fully focus my Cultivation to completely purge the Sword Qi."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xinghe felt a sense of despair.

Not to mention Innate Realm Experts, who are as elusive as dragons, rarely revealing themselves to the common folk.

In their remote location, where could they find an Innate Realm Expert on short notice?

Moreover, even if by some stroke of luck such an Innate Realm Expert appeared,

the risk of allowing another's Innate Realm True Qi into one's heart meridians was too great.

Human nature is unpredictable; if the other party harbors evil intentions, in an instant, they could completely destroy the Grand Ancestor's heart meridians.

Then, even a deity descending to earth could not reverse the damage.

Wei Shanhai was also aware of the difficulty of this matter.

Nevertheless, with a determined spirit, seeing Wei Xinghe's anxious expression, he comforted him instead: "There's no need to be so dejected; the situation hasn't reached the final step. As long as I am alive, I can still protect our Wei Family."

"Grand Ancestor, what are the consequences if the Sword Qi isn't purged?"

Wei Shanhai paused before speaking, "Suppressing the Sword Qi puts a great strain on my heart meridians; probably, after at most one more year, my heart meridians will not withstand it and will fail and die."

Wei Xinghe fell silent.

He had thought that with the Grand Ancestor's return, everything would be safe.

Unexpectedly, the Grand Ancestor's injuries still posed such a significant hidden danger.

At that moment, his previous joy evaporated.

After pondering for a while, Wei Xinghe still unwillingly said, "Grand Ancestor, is it possible to heal your injuries using that treasure?"

"Unlikely," Wei Shanhai shook his head, "That treasure is exceedingly mysterious and far from ordinary. It was by chance that I learned the Silver Moon Battle Formation and the Cultivation Technique I now practice from it and advanced to the Innate Realm. For decades, I have been unable to glean anything more from it; there's no need to waste those years of accumulated foundation."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stuck at the peak of the Initial Innate Realm for so many years.

"But it is still a method, isn't it?" Wei Xinghe quickly said, "What if, Grand Ancestor, you experience life and death this time and are able to comprehend a higher realm from it?"

"You... sigh, very well. I will give it a try."

Wei Shanhai, seeing his insistence, sighed and agreed.

At a time when Wei Family seemed to have temporarily resolved another life-and-death crisis with the return of Wei Shanhai,

elsewhere, in the county, discussions about the battle between Tian Cang Sect and Wei Family were gradually surfacing.

There was no help for it; though the battling factions far surpassed any other power within the county.

Logically, other minor forces should have steered clear, not daring to even glance toward such a conflict.

But there are always those in the world who do not fear death.

Within these forces, there are always spies painstakingly cultivated in secret.

Hence, some of the inside stories of this battle eventually leaked.

Especially the conversation between the Cloth-clothed Youth and the two Innate Realm experts, which was unabashedly loud enough to echo throughout the city.

Thus, everyone learned that there existed such a taboo for the reclusive and mysterious Innate Realm authorities: they were not to casually harm those Below Innate.
