"What's going on?" Ye Qing widened his eyes in surprise. Upon waking, his first suspicion was that Helian Tiehua and his companions had reconnected his meridians. But now that Helian Tiehua denied it, the situation seemed strange. Could it be that his meridians had healed on their own?

"Your meridians are shattered, and there is practically no one under the heavens who can reconnect them for you!" Helian Tiehua said solemnly, "I can't do it, the Bloody Monk can't do it, and even the Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun can't do it. If there's anyone who could reconnect your meridians, it would probably be the Divine Doctor An Shiping."

At this point, Helian Tiehua paused and said, "Or, perhaps, the two disciples of Divine Doctor An Shiping might be able to do it!"

"So... are you saying... it was Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi who saved me?" Ye Qing said, utterly shocked.

Helian Tiehua shook his head, "Bai Li Xi has been at Medicine King Mountain all this time and hasn't entered Humeng City."

"Then... could it be Ning Qianshu who reconnected my meridians?" Ye Qing was even more astonished. How could that be possible? Would Ning Qianshu actually help him?

"That's the only possibility now..." Helian Tiehua said, a trace of surprise crossing his face again, "No, wait, your... your meridians are self-repairing?"

With Helian Tiehua's words, Ye Qing suddenly felt that the shattered meridians in his body did indeed seem to be mending themselves. Moreover, the rate of fusion was accelerating, and in no time, nearly half of his meridians were healed.

"What's going on?" Ye Qing was completely dumbfounded. This situation was astonishing.

Helian Tiehua was even more surprised than Ye Qing. He furrowed his brows and pondered for a while before saying, "There is only one possibility."

"What possibility?" Ye Qing hurriedly asked.

Helian Tiehua looked at Ye Qing and said, "Your body must contain some kind of medicine that facilitates the repair of meridians. Thus, when your meridians shattered, the effects of the medicine became apparent, automatically mending them!"

"This..." Ye Qing scratched his head and said, "I've taken lots of Ziyu Chenxiang Pills in the past, could it be..."

"Definitely not!" Helian Tiehua shook his head, "The potency of Ziyu Chenxiang Pills is not enough to repair meridians. You definitely have remnants of another medicinal power in your body. I think someone must have given you some medicine, and the excess medicinal power left inside is helping to repair your meridians!"

Ye Qing was stunned and couldn't react for a long time. If this were true, then this person had been exceedingly kind to him, bestowing upon him blessing after blessing.

"This certainly wasn't done by Ning Qianshu!" Ye Qing suddenly exclaimed. If it were Ning Qianshu, he wouldn't be so kind to him.

Helian Tiehua did not speak, though he believed it was Ning Qianshu since no one else could achieve such a feat. With Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi being absent, Ning Qianshu was the only possibility. But why did he save Ye Qing?

While they discussed this, a rumbling of engines came from the direction of the large gate, followed by a fleet of vehicles bursting out from the cave entrance. These were the people Ye Qing and his companions had intercepted earlier. Having cleared the wrecked cars from the road, they finally sped through. Initially pondering where to pursue Ye Qing, they were startled by the situation outside, particularly by the Sha Men crowd, and realized there was no need to pursue anymore.

With over a hundred cars rushing out and halting at the cave entrance, most were amazed by the sight of the two combatants locked in a duel. Such one-on-one battles between Peak Masters were a rare spectacle. The fight between the King of North-South Boxing two decades ago remained legendary, though few witnessed it in person. Now, Prince Nalan and the Bloody Monk were dueling here, presenting an exceedingly rare opportunity that captivated most of the observers. After all, the Sun Shooting Bow was still in the Inner Tomb, so they weren't in a hurry to deal with Ye Qing.

Nonetheless, a group had fixed their attention on Ye Qing almost immediately upon arrival. These individuals harbored deep hatred towards Ye Qing, including members of the Seven Families, Northern Martial Zen, and Prince Wan Yan along with his entourage.

Yet, seeing Helian Tiehua standing before Ye Qing, although these people were enraged, none dared to step forward. After all, Helian Tiehua was an insurmountable peak; no one dared approach!

While this group dared not act rashly, the foreigners gathered together. The Red-robed Archbishop and Lord Sara both wore expressions of worry. The appearance of so many Martial Artists in Huaxia had caused the situation to spiral out of their control.

"What should we do now?" Lord Sara asked in a low voice.

The Red-robed Archbishop surveyed the people around him and then glanced at Ye Qing, who was being guarded by Helian Tiehua, and whispered, "See that person?"

"What about him?" Lord Sara asked, puzzled as to why the Red-robed Archbishop was pointing specifically at Ye Qing.

The Red-robed Archbishop whispered, "Just now he was in danger, and Helian Tiehua rescued him along with that Bloody Monk. Also, that Prince Nalan targeted him as soon as he appeared. Three top masters, all focusing their attention on one person, don't you think there's something suspicious about that person?"

"That's right!" Lord Sara's eyes brightened as he looked at Ye Qing and said in a deep voice, "This person must be a pivotal figure, which is why he's drawn the attention of the three top masters to fight over him."

"These people have been out here for such a long time, yet they haven't brought out the Sun Shooting Bow. I suspect it's still inside the cave and hasn't come out," the Red-robed Archbishop said solemnly. "In the current situation, we completely lack the advantage. If a fight breaks out, there won't be many of us who'll make it back alive. So, we need to act differently."

"Should we kill that man first?" Lord Sara asked, looking at Ye Qing.

"It's not about killing him..." the Red-robed Archbishop replied. "Capture him and use him to force these Huaxia martial artists to hand over the Sun Shooting Bow!"

"Will it work?" Lord Sara wondered. "The Sun Shooting Bow is extremely important. Will these people really hand it over for his sake?"

"Even if this person isn't worth the Sun Shooting Bow, he surely holds some other key significance. Otherwise, the three top masters wouldn't pay him so much attention. Capturing him is definitely right. Even if we don't get the Sun Shooting Bow, we might obtain other important information, which we can report back to the Great Elder!" The Red-robed Archbishop gave Lord Sara a glance and whispered, "You don't want to go back and be punished, do you?"

Lord Sara quickly shook his head and whispered, "It might not be easy to capture him, with so many people around."

"Don't worry, these people have conflicts among themselves. Moreover, we're so fast; once we catch him, we flee, and these people can't catch up with us!" The Red-robed Archbishop gestured, looked around at their subordinates, and whispered, "The key is to get them to run first. Otherwise, they certainly can't escape!"

"Alright!" Lord Sara made a gesture for his subordinates to retreat first.

In fact, these subordinates, having witnessed the brutality of the White-haired Ding San earlier, were long scared and wanted to flee. Now, receiving the order from Lord Sara, they didn't hesitate and hurriedly turned to slip away, not daring to linger in the slightest.

Watching the subordinates leave in the distance, Lord Sara and the Red-robed Archbishop exchanged a glance and simultaneously pounced toward Ye Qing. They were attempting to capture Ye Qing in a surprise attack. Although Helian Tiehua was guarding Ye Qing, with their method, one could entangle Helian Tiehua while the other caught Ye Qing, which seemed quite easy.

Helian Tiehua was pondering with Ye Qing who had saved him when he suddenly felt a strong wind approaching, causing his expression to change instantly. Without saying a word, he grabbed Ye Qing and leaped away, trying to avoid the attack. However, his speed was slightly slower than the two attackers. As soon as he took a step back, they had already rushed forward.

"Come here!" shouted Lord Sara, grabbing Ye Qing's collar and attempting to pull him over.

The Red-robed Archbishop attacked Helian Tiehua with full force, preventing him from rescuing Ye Qing.

Although Helian Tiehua's strength was formidable, the Red-robed Archbishop kept him busy enough that he couldn't escape quickly. Seeing Ye Qing being taken away by Lord Sara, Helian Tiehua was also anxious but couldn't help him.

"Hahaha..." Lord Sara laughed triumphantly, "Huaxia martial artists, exchange the Sun Shooting Bow for this person, otherwise..."

Before Lord Sara could finish his sentence, his voice was abruptly cut off, because Ye Qing had grabbed his throat.

Lord Sara, caught off guard by Ye Qing's counterattack, was enraged as Ye Qing gripped his throat. Letting out a low growl of fury, he reached with his right hand towards Ye Qing's arm, his sharp nails like steel knives, intending to sever Ye Qing's arm.

At this moment, Ye Qing's meridians had completely healed, and he could exert his Inner Strength again. Furthermore, having experience in confronting these people, he didn't directly meet Lord Sara's right hand head-on. Instead, he gripped Lord Sara's throat, pulled forcefully, and leveraged the motion to mount onto Lord Sara's back.

Missing his target and with Ye Qing mounted on his back, Lord Sara was infuriated. He roared, trying to pull Ye Qing down by his collar with one hand while aiming his other hand at Ye Qing's neck, wishing to crush him.

When Ye Qing sprang onto Lord Sara's back, he was already preparing his strength. Seeing Lord Sara's hand reaching over, he responded with a punch, striking hard onto Lord Sara's hand.

This punch, fueled by a special move left by the monk, increased Ye Qing's Inner Strength by almost fifty percent. With full force behind it, he struck Lord Sara's hand, breaking his arm with such intensity that the bone pierced out from the elbow, showcasing the terrifying power of Ye Qing's punch.

Even though Lord Sara was nearly a peak master, the attack pained him deeply, pushing him to release Ye Qing in a howl of agony.
