Jun Bu Ping, covered in blood, shook his body to shake off the lingering blood. He then approached Shangguan Bingbing, who had a pear blossom-like expression on her face.
At this moment, Jun Bu Ping, Shangguan Bingbing, Baili Longtian, and Xiao Qingxuan exchanged glances and suddenly knelt down in front of Tan Yun, Mu Mengyi, and Xue Ziyan, bowing their heads, "Thank you three for saving our lives!"
"We are endlessly grateful for your lifesaving grace!"
"Sister Xiao, please get up." Mu Mengyi supported Xiao Qingxuan with both hands.
Mu Mengyi and Xiao Qingxuan had a good impression of each other. During the nine meridians grand competition, the two women had determined the winner with a single strike and a single sword, resulting in a clear victory for Xiao Qingxuan, who was very grateful for Mu Mengyi's mercy.
"Get up, don't cry. The scoundrel who mistreated you is dead." Xue Ziyan smiled slightly and helped Shangguan Bingbing up.
At that moment, the gratitude of the four towards Tan Yun and his companions was evident.
Especially for Baili Longtian and Jun Bu Ping. Just moments ago, facing the threat of death, both had captured the hearts of Xiao Qingxuan and Shangguan Bingbing.
In the face of imminent death, Shangguan Bingbing and Xiao Qingxuan bravely took a step forward and confessed their deep love for Jun Bu Ping and Baili Longtian.
"Don't move, let me check your injuries." Tan Yun released his spiritual sense, enveloping the four battered individuals. After a moment, Tan Yun let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, while Shangguan Bingbing, Xiao Qingxuan, and Jun Bu Ping looked terrible, they had not suffered any serious injuries. Only Baili Longtian, with one arm severed, was gravely wounded.
"Longtian, what should we do? None of us can help with your severed arm." Xiao Qingxuan supported Baili Longtian, feeling heartbroken.
"It’s alright, I will take care of Baili's severed arm." At this moment, Tan Yun spoke up.
"Junior Brother Tan, do you really understand medicine?" Xiao Qingxuan looked at Tan Yun with hopeful eyes.
"Rest assured, I promise to return you a complete Baili Longtian." Tan Yun spoke confidently before turning to Jun Bu Ping and Shangguan Bingbing, "You three, along with Mengyi and Ziyan, handle the enemies' corpses. When I finish reattaching Baili's arm, we can talk."
"Okay!" Jun Bu Ping and Shangguan Bingbing responded, immediately working with Xue Ziyan and Mu Mengyi to collect the spoils of war and dig several deep pits in the ground, tossing over 800 corpses into them.
Meanwhile, Tan Yun was searching carefully in the woods for something.
A moment later, when Jun Bu Ping and the others finished burying the bodies, Tan Yun approached Baili Longtian with two blood-red spiritual herbs in his hands.
"Junior Brother Tan, what kind of spiritual herbs do you have?" Xiao Qingxuan asked in confusion.
The others looked at Tan Yun with puzzled expressions as well.
"Oh, these are two Blood Fusion Herbs with a cultivation age of 600 years, which have the remarkable effect of merging bones and regenerating flesh and blood."
Tan Yun explained to everyone, "Although the effect is somewhat diminished, it can completely restore Baili's severed arm in four months at the most or three months at the least."
"Is that so? That's wonderful!" Xiao Qingxuan smiled through her tears.
"Of course it's true." After smiling, Tan Yun had Baili Longtian sit down. Then, he used his right hand to press Baili Longtian's severed arm against the stump.
"Go!"
With a single thought, the two Blood Fusion Herbs in Tan Yun's left hand soared into the air, transforming into blood-red powder that floated in mid-air.
With a wave of his hand, the powder flowed like water into Baili Longtian's severed arm.
Next, Tan Yun instructed Xiao Qingxuan to tear off a long strip from her tattered skirt to wrap around Baili Longtian's right arm, reminding her, "Sister Xiao, you hold Baili's right arm for now. Once we settle down, he can lie down quietly."
"Okay." Xiao Qingxuan nodded earnestly.
