Chapter 48 Each Harboring Ulterior Motives
"Your Excellency has never diagnosed the conditions of the Family Heads. How did you come to know they were poisoned with Gu poison?"
"As Sect Leader Wang said, Gu poison is unique to the Witch Sect which doesn't appear in public. So where did the Family Heads' Gu poison come from?"
"Don't you wish to give us an explanation?"
Zhao Qingyun spoke up in time, saying indifferently.
Ye Ling halted in his steps and stopped.
Turning around, his gaze swept over everyone present. He smiled and said, "Looking at your expressions, it seems you all are quite eager to find out where this Gu poison came from?"
Everyone nodded. Gu poison, originating from the Witch Sect, was profoundly mysterious; naturally, they wanted to know.
The Medicine God Sect wanted to know about Gu poison to be prepared for the future.
And the five Family Heads in their sickbeds wanted to know who had harmed them!
Seeing this, Ye Ling looked towards Zhao Qingyun with a light laugh and spoke, "The young master Zhao repeatedly claims that this Gu poison is related to me. Why don't you ask your brother Zhao Qingming when you return home? Perhaps he knows something?"
After speaking, Ye Ling turned and walked towards the outside of the sickroom. Read new chapters at empire
"How dare you slander my Zhao family!"
"My Zhao family, being a century-old noble house, how could we possibly commit such acts!"
"Stop right there! You must provide an explanation to my Zhao family; otherwise, you will not leave Gusu alive!"
Zhao Qingyun's expression darkened as he shouted at Ye Ling.
As his voice fell, the four bodyguards beside him immediately moved to attack Ye Ling.
Ye Jiu, standing to one side, lifted the corners of his mouth in a disdainful smile as his internal energy burst forth instantly!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Four muffled sounds almost simultaneously rang out, and the four bodyguards, like sandbags, were instantly thrown backward!
The men crashed onto Zhao Qingyun, knocking him to the ground!
Ye Jiu strode towards them, kicking the four bodyguards aside.
Then he looked down at Zhao Qingyun and said coldly, "Give your Zhao family an explanation?"
"I am here to give your Zhao family an explanation right now!"
"Crack!"
The moment the words fell, a sharp, piercing sound of bone cracking resounded instantly.
"Ah!"
Zhao Qingyun screamed, his right leg contorted into an unnatural twist!
The piercing scream spread from the sickroom, immediately attracting a large number of bodyguards, among them many martial arts experts!
Meanwhile, the four Family Heads on their sickbeds, yet to be treated, exchanged glances and saw the icy resolve in each other's eyes.
If you refuse to treat us, then we will capture you and force you to heal us!
All four being cunning and experienced, instantly understood the intentions of the others.
"Somebody! Catch this man! I suspect my illness is related to him!"
"People of the Li family, listen up! Catch this man immediately!"
The four Family Heads spoke one after another, and a large number of bodyguards and martial arts experts instantly blocked the sickroom door.
"Sect Leader, this man, even through glass, could determine that the Family Heads were poisoned with Gu and even managed to easily force the Gu worms out of Family Head Hu's body. He must possess some kind of medical legacy!"
"If we could acquire this legacy, our medical skills would surely advance to the next level!"
"Then entering the main branch of the Medicine God Sect might not be an impossibility."
Qiu Yongnian whispered to Wang Qinghe beside him.
The other elders also had flickering eyes, waiting for Wang Qinghe to make a decision.
"This guy is arrogant because of his talent, and he refused to help treat the other four Family Heads. Now, he has even had his subordinate cripple Young Master Zhao's leg."
"With the five major families taking action against him, he certainly won't be able to leave the hospital safely …"
"In that case, the Medicine God Sect will just add some fuel to the fire!"
Wang Qinghe pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
Hearing this, the people of the Medicine God Sect were overjoyed.
The Medicine God Sect didn't care about personal martial prowess or the power behind them, only the individual's medical skills!
If they could obtain the medical heritage from Ye Ling, their own medical skills would surely improve greatly!
By then, upon entering the main sect, both the treatment and status they received would be far superior to what they currently had!
Yan Jidao, standing by the side, obviously heard their conversation and, with a disdainful spit, said, "A doctor without a kind heart, still fit to be called a doctor?"
"Haha, you probably refer to him as senior because you know he possesses the medical heritage, right?"
Qiu Yongnian looked at Yan Jidao and said disdainfully.
Before Yan Jidao could speak again, Wang Qinghe suddenly shouted at Ye Ling, "Friend, the Medicine God Sect lost a medical tome some years ago."
"This medical tome records information about poison and how to neutralize it, which has led us to have a poor understanding of the poison!"
"Surely, the Medicine God Sect's medical tome is now in your hands? If possible, please return this medical tome to our Medicine God Sect!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Not only the Family Heads but also the elders of the Medicine God Sect were taken aback!
Shortly after, the elders silently gave Wang Qinghe a thumbs up!
When it came to cunning, their own Sect Leader was indeed impressive!
He had quickly thought of an excuse that would allow the Medicine God Sect to step in and share the spoils!
Moreover, by saying this, Wang Qinghe also made it clear that it wasn't that they couldn't neutralize the poison, but because the Medicine God Sect was missing that part of the heritage, which led to their inability to diagnose the conditions of the several Family Heads!
In doing so, the Medicine God Sect could claim both fame and profit!
"Crack!"
"Ah!"
While everyone harbored their own ulterior motives, Zhao Qingyun let out another piercing scream of agony.
Everyone looked down and saw that Zhao Qingyun's left leg had also become twisted, just like his right leg.
"You deserve to die! I will kill you! Kill you!"
Zhao Qingyun's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fiercely at Ye Jiu, hoarsely roaring.
Ye Jiu sneered and said indifferently, "I'm the knife and you're the fish, Since when can the fish resist the knife?"
As his words fell, Ye Jiu stepped and broke Zhao Qingyun's left arm!
After that, Zhao Qingyun didn't dare speak harsh words anymore and seemed to have realized his situation, his body continuously trembling, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Ye Jiu.
From the beginning to the end, Ye Jiu paid no mind to those ill-intentioned fellows in the sickroom, seeming to regard them as insignificant, hardly worth a strike.
Meanwhile, Su Rou was nervously grabbing Ye Ling's arm.
Feeling Su Rou trembling beside him, Ye Ling turned to look at her and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm here."
"Yes!"
Su Rou nodded forcefully, but her body was still trembling, although the tremors were much less severe than before.
Ye Ling's indifferent gaze slowly swept over every person present.
"If you want to make a move against me, just say it, why bother finding such lofty excuses?"
