<h4>Chapter 2676: Wailing</h4>


    In the Guo family’spound.


    The entire manor shook as the Guo family’s disciples, covered in blood, carried the pale-faced middle-aged man back to the Guo house’s front courtyard. Several stewards rushed over one after another.


    “Hiss! Elder Sun, how could you be so badly hurt?” An elderly man who got along well with the middle-aged man approached. He gasped when he saw the bite marks on the elder’s calf.


    “I thought I’d never see you again.” The middle-aged man smiled, the corners of his mouth drawn up. After they arrived home, his constantly troubled heart was finally put to rest.


    They were finally home, safe and sound.


    “Quick, carry him to the rear courtyard. I’ll examine the wound for you.” The elderly man said while motioning for the guards to rece the two injured disciples carrying Elder Sun.


    “Don’t be so anxious. Since I did not die out there, I’m not going to die.” Elder Sun smiled. He looked pale and frail. This injury made this man, who was in his sixties but appeared to be in his forties, seem so much older.


    It went without saying that those who understood medicine would prioritise their own self-care, especially since he was regarded as the most proficient in medicine among the Guo n. However, after this incident, his exhaustion was palpable.


    “Did youe across a beast pack? This wound looks like...” The elderly man was baffled. The bite mark of a ferocious beast was obvious from the circr pattern, but what surprised him was that such arge area of the wound was sewn up with thread.


    “What happened? Have the Great Elder and others all returned?” A middle-aged man, the Guo n’s patriarch, strode in. He rushed over after learning that the people who had entered the Poison Forest had returned, covered in blood.


    “Patriarch.” Elder Sun called out weakly when he saw Patriarch Guo walking quickly toward him.


    “Elder Sun, how, how did you get so badly hurt?” Patriarch Guo was taken aback. He assumed the injured were disciples, not expecting Elder Sun to be seriously injured.


    “Patriarch, it’s not just me.The Great Elder has also been seriously injured. Fortunately this time...” He came to a halt when he noticed many people around him and changed the subject. “The Great Elder and the others are following close behind. Please wait for the Great Elder to inform you of this.”


    “All right, then return to the courtyard first. Your injuries will need to be treated again.” Patriarch Guo told the elderly man next to him. “Examine him. Elder Sun must be cured with the best medicine.”


    “You can rest assured, Patriarch.” The elderly man said, motioning for the two guards to carry the man into the rear courtyard.


    “We greet the Patriarch.”


    At this time, the Guo family disciples, who were standing and propping each other up, bowed respectfully.Their clothes were torn and the original colour was no longer visible, dried blood was all over their bodies. Their faces were dirty and bloodstained, their eyes were flushed, and their expressions were filled with excitement.


    They returned alive! They returned alive! They thought they would never be able to return to the Guo family or see their parents or rtives again…


    “My son! How did you get hurt like that? How did you get hurt like that?” A woman ran over hurriedly and threw herself on a wounded disciple, crying and shouting. She stepped back, as if in a daze, not daring to touch him for fear of hitting his wounds. She was tense and worried, but she didn’t know what to do.


    “Mother! Mother! Mother…”


    When the young disciple saw his mother, he could no longer hold back his tears and wailed like a kid.
