The person rendered her unable to move.
Meanwhile, Gao Tianshou and Lu Zhu had already killed most of Han Yu's army.
Bloody corpses lay beneath everyone's feet.
Upon seeing the situation, Han Yue and Han Yi exchanged glances and prepared to flee.
During the pursuit, Gao Tianshou and Lu Zhu captured both Han Yue and Han Yi.
On the other side, Han Ting, controlled by demonic power, was completely immobilized. As the black threads binding her unraveled, her neck was seized by a slender, jade-like hand.
Han Yue and Han Yi sat on the ground, knife hilts pressed against their necks, daring not to move.
Soon, all surviving members of Han Yu's army were apprehended.
Han Yue, Han Yi, and Han Ting were all locked in an iron cage moments later.
Gu Qianying, Gao Tianshou, and Lu Zhu surrounded them.
At this time, Song Wuji, having been poisoned, was carried back by Baili Jingxuan and was continuously spitting blood.
During this time, Madam Song and Song Yu'er, who had been recuperating, also rushed to Song Wuji's room to check on him.
Madam Song and Song Yu'er stayed by Song Wuji's bedside, weeping.
Song Wuji's complexion was almost devoid of color, his lips were black, and he lay with his eyes closed in a deep coma.
"Hand over the antidote, and I will let you leave! Otherwise... your fate will be the same as your Han family's Han Yu army!"
Gu Qianying stood before Han Yue and the other two, her cold gaze piercing through the iron cage.
A bloodthirsty killing intent emanated from her.
Seeing Gu Qianying's gaze, Han Yue trembled. Han Yi's gaze was cold; he said nothing.
However, Han Ting beside them smirked triumphantly, "Haha, Miss Gu, aren't you a renowned physician? What? Can't even cure a single poison?"
Gu Qianying looked coldly at Han Ting. She remained silent, but her eyes seemed to flash like blades.
"Ha... as expected, your so-called divine physician's medical skills are not much better? However... I can tell you that the poison Song Wuji has been afflicted with is an extremely rare 'Chizha' poison. This poison is very troublesome to concoct. One of the poisonous herbs is a 'Poisonous Lotus' that blooms once every thirty years. If you want to cure this poison, you only need to wait another thirty years, hahaha..."
Han Ting's eyes were full of provocation as she looked at Gu Qianying.
"Lu Zhu, unlock it!"
Seeing Han Ting's smug smile, Gu Qianying's gaze grew colder.
Lu Zhu nodded and complied.
As the iron cage was opened, Gu Qianying glanced at Gao Tianshou.
Gao Tianshou nodded in understanding and immediately stepped inside, knocking out Han Yue and Han Yi with a palm strike. He then dragged Han Ting out of the cage.
"What are you doing? Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Seeing Han Yue and Han Yi knocked unconscious on the ground, Han Ting became panicked and fearful.
Gao Tianshou acted solely on orders, unmoved by Han Ting's soft sobs.
He yanked Han Ting out and threw her roughly at Gu Qianying's feet.
Before she could get up, Gu Qianying stepped forward and pressed her foot onto Han Ting's face, grinding it fiercely into the ground.
"Ah..."
Han Ting screamed in pain.
Gu Qianying paid no heed to the blood trickling from her cheeks.
As more blood flowed, Gu Qianying grabbed Han Ting's hair and leaned down, looking at her coldly, "Produce the antidote, Second Miss Han. My temper is not good. If you continue to be stubborn, I will cut off your mouth. After all, you won't hand over the antidote anyway."
"You dare! Gu Qianying, you'd better let me go, or my father will tear you limb from limb!"
Hearing this, Gu Qianying laughed, tightening her grip on Han Ting's hair. "Second Miss Han, do you think I fear your father? Haha, what a joke!"
"Hand over the antidote, quickly!"
Gao Tianshou handed over a dagger. Gu Qianying took it and pressed the dagger against Han Ting's throat.
At this moment, Han Ting was utterly terrified.
"Don't kill me! I'll tell you where the antidote is. Please don't kill me, please."
Han Ting cried in fear.
"Speak!"
A single, cold word was enough to convey Gu Qianying's attitude.
Her patience was wearing thin.
"The antidote is with my father. Before we left, my father said to leave the antidote behind and not to take it out. So, after leaving home, I only carried the poison with me."
"Send someone to tell your father to bring the antidote here, or I'll send all three of you on your way!"
Gu Qianying's voice was as cold as ice.
"You... you let me go. You go back and get the antidote from my father."
"Heh, Second Miss Han, do you think I'm an idiot? Letting you go to get the antidote from your father? Hmph, do you think I would do something as foolish as letting a tiger return to the mountain?"
"Leave them here as your hostages, and let me go, okay?"
Without hesitation, Han Ting pointed at the unconscious Han Yue and Han Yi.
Just then, the mansion's steward rushed over, his expression flustered. "Something's wrong, Divine Physician Gu! Our young master is spitting blood again, a lot of it. Divine Physician Gu, please go and see him quickly."
The steward was sweating profusely from his haste.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianying immediately released Han Ting and tossed the dagger to Gao Tianshou. "Lock all three of them up! Seal the cage so no one can get near!"
Gao Tianshou nodded and obeyed.
"Lu Zhu, investigate the location of the Han family. Take these items from the three of them and deliver a message to Master Han, asking him to personally bring the antidote to our door. If he refuses, kill these three directly!"
"Yes... Sect Master."
Lu Zhu complied.
On the way to Song Wuji's courtyard, Gu Qianying pondered many ways to detoxify Song Wuji.
However, as Han Ting had said, to concoct the antidote, the root of the poisonous lotus was required as medicine.
The leaves of the poisonous lotus were used to make the poison, while its root was the material for the antidote.
To create the antidote, the root of the poisonous lotus was essential, meaning it would take another thirty years to develop.
This poison could not be cured by spiritual energy or demonic power; only basic methods would work.
This was a point of considerable distress for Gu Qianying.
Upon arriving at Song Wuji's place, Gu Qianying saw Song Yu'er and Madam Song both weeping.
Baili Jingxuan sat beside them, looking distraught and staring intently at Song Wuji.
If not for Madam Song and Song Yu'er's presence, Baili Jingxuan would have likely rushed forward and grasped Song Wuji's hand.
The worry in Baili Jingxuan's eyes was undeniable.
Gu Qianying walked past him and patted his shoulder.
When Baili Jingxuan saw Gu Qianying arrive, he immediately stood up.
"Divine Physician Gu, please go and see him quickly. He's been spitting up so much blood, please hurry."
Gu Qianying could tell from Baili Jingxuan's expression that he was very worried and panicked.
"Alright, don't worry, he'll be fine."
Gu Qianying comforted Baili Jingxuan.
Her comforting words were overheard by Song Yu'er, who was weeping incessantly. A flicker of doubt arose in Song Yu'er's heart.
However, at that moment, she couldn't afford to voice her doubts.
Seeing Gu Qianying enter, Song Yu'er and Madam Song quickly made way.
"Divine Physician Gu, my son is spitting blood again, he... he...呜呜, please go and see him."
Madam Song was crying hysterically and was deeply distressed.
Song Yu'er was the same.
In contrast, Gu Qianying was the calmest person present.
"I need to administer acupuncture. Please step outside first."
The most important thing now was to find a way to temporarily suppress the poison within Song Wuji.
The situation could not be allowed to worsen.
Otherwise, Song Wuji would be in grave danger and might die at any moment!
Hearing that Gu Qianying was going to administer acupuncture to her son, Madam Song quickly pulled Song Yu'er away. "Yes, yes, Divine Physician Gu, everything is up to you. We will wait outside."
Although Madam Song was heartbroken, she remained relatively calm.
However, as she pulled Song Yu'er away, she glanced at Baili Jingxuan, who had been standing nearby, hesitant to approach.
Seeing that Baili Jingxuan had no intention of leaving, Madam Song wiped her tears with her embroidered handkerchief and turned to look at Baili Jingxuan again. "Young Master Baili, aren't you leaving?"
