Decades ago, the Divine Province was struck by a calamity so devastating it nearly collapsed! Countless predecessors sacrificed their lives and spilled their blood, slaying innumerable foes amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, to earn this present era of peace and prosperity. Qin Heng held these individuals in extremely high esteem.

Regrettably, members of the Fangs had heard only the beginning or, rather, after hearing the beginning, they chose to disregard the rest. The earlier remarks were entirely dismissive of them. Utterly audacious! This young man who claimed to be Qin Xuantian was truly outrageous!

Almost immediately after Qin Heng uttered those words, Fang Liyang wanted to retort. After all, the Fangs were a prestigious clan of Qi Lu. No one had ever dared to speak to them this way. No one had ever dared to disregard them like this! Even the He Family wouldn't dare! However, it then occurred to him that the He Family, significantly mightier than the Fangs and boasting two Half-step Grandmasters, had been destroyed by this seemingly ordinary, handsome young man! In front of this youth, two Half-step Grandmasters were like two insignificant ants, effortlessly crushed to death!

Realizing this, Fang Liyang was immediately struck with panic. He swiftly bowed to Qin Heng and said with utmost respect, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xuantian, I was too disrespectful. Please forgive my transgression!"

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Though the person before him appeared young, not particularly old, he was in fact a formidable power capable of easily crushing all of the Fangs!

Fang Liyang's attitude changed abruptly. This immediately caused the rest of the Fangs to realize what was happening. They, too, became incredibly anxious as they apologized to Qin Heng, filled with regret and wishing they could slap themselves.

Yet Fang Yiwen did not follow suit. Looking at Qin Heng, her voice trembling, she said, "Senior Xuantian, please allow me to address you as such. This is to show my respect for your mastery of the Martial Dao. I know you look down upon us weaklings, but my grandfather's life cannot be taken lightly. I'm truly afraid that once you make a move, he will no longer have a chance."

The ward was utterly silent. All that could be heard was Fang Yiwen's slightly trembling breath. She was very nervous and very scared, yet she regretted nothing!

Qin Heng gazed at her, his formerly indifferent expression suddenly shifting as he chuckled lightly and said, "The concern for a loved one is understandable. Since that is the case, let me show you my methods."

As he spoke, he suddenly lifted his right hand and extended one finger, pointing it towards Fang Yiwen.

"Yiwen!"

"Mr. Xuantian!"

"What are you doing!!"

Cries of alarm rang out in succession.

But nobody could stop Qin Heng as his finger landed on Fang Yiwen between the eyebrows. Instantly, the light in Fang Yiwen's eyes dissipated, leaving them vacant and lifeless. Her facial expression froze, and her entire body stiffened. Her rosy complexion turned as pale as paper, drained of all color. Her breathing stopped, as did her heartbeat. Her blood ceased to flow, and all bodily functions came to a halt. With her eyes still open, Fang Yiwen collapsed backward. She appeared, for all intents and purposes, dead!

Qin Heng stepped forward, caught Fang Yiwen's limp body, then cradled her and placed her on the adjacent hospital bed.

"Yiwen!"

"Yiwen, what's happened to you!?"

Fang Liyang and the other Fang family members quickly ran to the bedside, checking Fang Yiwen's condition—feeling for her breath, listening for her heartbeat, touching her pulse…

"Yiwen!! No!!"

Cries and shouts rang out, filled with unbearable pain, their voices raw with anguish!!

"Why! Why!?" Fang Liyang suddenly stood up, his eyes turning bloodshot as he glared at Qin Heng. "Why did you have to kill her! Just because she was worried about her grandfather!? Was that wrong! How is what you've done any different from what the He Family did!!"

"Give me back my Yiwen! Demon! You demon!!" Fang Yiwen's mother lunged forward, trying to grab Qin Heng but was stopped by Fang Liyang. She could only continue to scream, "Why! Why did you kill her!!"

All the Fangs looked at Qin Heng with eyes full of rage and hatred.

Qian Zhenghai and Zhao Weicai, however, looked bewildered. As far as they recalled, Qin Heng wasn't someone who would indiscriminately kill the innocent. The He Family members had received their just deserts, but Fang Yiwen surely didn't deserve to die! What was happening?

"What are you talking about?" Qin Heng walked over to the hospital bed, looked at Fang Yiwen lying on it, and said indifferently, "Is she dead? When did I kill her? That never happened."

"A Grandmaster-level powerhouse dares to act but not own up to it!?" Fang Liyang, seemingly mustering all the courage of his life due to the pain of losing his daughter, gritted his teeth and yelled at Qin Heng, "Her breathing has stopped, her heart isn't beating anymore, her body is already stiffening and growing cold, and you still say she's not dead!?"

"If I say she isn't dead, then she isn't dead. None of you understand the methods I possess." Qin Heng shook his head lightly and once again extended a finger, gently touching Fang Yiwen between the eyebrows.

Suddenly, Fang Yiwen, who had been lying on the hospital bed as if a sleeping beauty, trembled. Her delicate body then stilled. Her chest began to rise and fall as her breathing resumed, and her heart started to beat. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and sat up from the hospital bed on her own.

"Mom, Dad, Mr. Xuantian, what's going on?" Fang Yiwen asked, confused. She was completely bewildered. She only remembered Qin Heng touching her between the eyebrows, a sensation like an electric shock coursing through her body, and then she lost consciousness. When she woke up, she found her parents looking furious, tears streaming down their faces. What was going on!? She was a bit dazed.

"Yiwen!?"

Fang Liyang and the others looked at the "resurrected" Fang Yiwen, amazement and disbelief written across their faces!

Especially Fang Yiwen's mother. She had checked Fang Yiwen earlier. Both her breath and her heartbeat had stopped; she was indistinguishable from someone who had just passed away! Now, she had miraculously come back to life! Revived!?

Everyone rushed back to the hospital bed, examined Fang Yiwen again, and watched as she stood up on her own, moving freely.

The Fang family members were utterly shocked, looking towards Qin Heng with disbelief.

Bringing the dead back to life!? These were the methods of an Immortal!! Recalling the incredible strength Qin Xuantian had displayed earlier… Could he really be an Immortal?

THUMP!

Fang Liyang immediately knelt before Qin Heng, kowtowing repeatedly, his head striking the floor with audible thuds. He spoke with utmost respect and humility, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xuantian, we were blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai. We even doubted you earlier; our sins are worthy of ten thousand deaths! Please, I beg of you, save my father, save him!"

Fang Yiwen looked on, completely confused, not understanding how such a drastic change had suddenly occurred.

"Stand up." Qin Heng waved his hand dismissively, saying indifferently, "I said before that I am saving Elder Fang because he is a hero, not because of any of you. However, what Fang Yiwen said was not wrong. After all, he is your relative. I needed to let you witness my methods to ease your worries. Stand back. I am about to begin removing the Gu for Elder Fang."
