Peerless Medical Emperor

Seeing the icy look in Luo Yidao’s eyes, Nie Xing knew there was no escaping his fate today.

"Enough of this useless chatter."

"Hand over the Ancestral Spirit Pill."

"And I might just let you live."

"Otherwise, once I kill you and stick you in one of my special coffins, who’s ever going to find out?"

Luo Yidao stared coldly at Nie Xing.

Nie Xing was now utterly disappointed in Luo Yidao.

He knew with absolute certainty that Luo Yidao would not let him leave so easily.

’Luo Yidao only ever cared about himself. Now that I’ve become suspicious and useless to him, he’s just going to kill me.’

’And he’ll take back the Ancestral Spirit Pill.’

Although he had no idea where Gong Liangbu had gotten the Ancestral Spirit Pill, the current Luo Yidao was in desperate need of an elixir that could enhance his power.

Only by growing stronger could he expand his influence in Jingxi.

Once he had grown powerful enough, he planned to make his move on Kyoto. That was Luo Yidao’s grand design.

Staring at the utterly cold-eyed Luo Yidao, Nie Xing suddenly felt like he was looking at a complete stranger.

"You’re really going to kill me over a single Ancestral Spirit Pill and your own paranoia."

"Would you be where you are today without me?"

"Hmph. I’m done playing this game. I’m leaving!"

With that, Nie Xing suddenly broke into a sprint, dashing forward.

But in a flash, Luo Yidao appeared, directly blocking Nie Xing’s path.

"Trying to leave? You think it’s that easy?"

Luo Yidao said coldly.

"What if I give you the Ancestral Spirit Pill? Will you let me live?"

"We’ll go our separate ways and never cross paths again."

Nie Xing said.

"Alright."

Luo Yidao smiled and nodded.

Nie Xing handed the Ancestral Spirit Pill directly to Luo Yidao.

After receiving the Ancestral Spirit Pill, Luo Yidao appraised it carefully and confirmed it was genuine.

"Gong Liangbu is quite capable, managing to get his hands on an Ancestral Spirit Pill. He must have gone to great lengths for this."

"But then he just turned around and gave it to you. This is an elixir desperately needed even by those in the Guiyuan Realm, and he just gave it to you."

"It seems the two of you have been quite busy behind my back."

Luo Yidao said.

Nie Xing knew that no matter how he tried to explain, Luo Yidao wouldn’t believe him.

’The most important thing now is to get out of here as fast as possible. Otherwise, Luo Yidao will surely kill me.’

"I’ve given you what you wanted. Can I go now?"

Nie Xing said.

"Go on."

Luo Yidao gave a slight nod.

Nie Xing strode toward the exit.

But just as he reached the main door, Luo Yidao pressed a hidden button, triggering a mechanism.

Instantly, WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH, a volley of Hidden Weapons shot toward Nie Xing.

Nie Xing never imagined Luo Yidao would have such a trick up his sleeve.

Before he could even react to dodge, the Hidden Weapons had already struck him.

He was severely injured in an instant, and blood pooled on the floor.

But Nie Xing, forcing himself to hold on with a final burst of True Energy, charged out of the building.

Luo Yidao quickly followed him out.

By the time he got outside, Nie Xing had already vanished into a dense thicket of trees and overgrown weeds in the distance.

This thicket was, ironically, part of an escape route Nie Xing himself had designed for Luo Yidao in case he ever ran into trouble with his enemies. He never expected to be the one using it.

Following the path, Nie Xing quickly put distance between them, soon disappearing from Luo Yidao’s line of sight.

Luo Yidao was a little surprised that Nie Xing had escaped. But seeing the trail of blood on the ground, he thought, ’He probably won’t live for long.’

’Who could he possibly go to for help now? Gong Liangbu, perhaps?’

"No matter who you run to, it’s a dead end," Luo Yidao said, his face a mask of indifference.

Then, Luo Yidao closed the door. He had to clean up the house first; after all, there was blood all over the floor.

The fight had also destroyed quite a few things.

Dragging his exhausted body, Nie Xing staggered through a patch of woods and soon arrived at the gate of Gong Liangbu’s residence.

By this point, he could barely keep his eyes open.

With his last ounce of strength, he made it to the door and knocked weakly.

The sky had grown dim, and Gong Liangbu was starting to feel tired.

The courtyard was spotless, and both the upstairs and downstairs were mostly in order, as they had been cleaned not long ago.

Although Gong Liangbu hadn’t been living here recently, he still sent people to tidy up from time to time.

As a result, the place was still quite clean.

"Mr. Chen, will Nie Xing really come?"

Gong Liangbu asked, stifling a yawn.

"He will."

Chen Qingdi was full of confidence.

The two lifted their teacups for a sip. Just then, a THUMP THUMP THUMP sounded from outside.

But it quickly fell silent again.

"That must be him. I’ll go check."

Gong Liangbu said.

"Go on."

Chen Qingdi said.

When Gong Liangbu opened the door, he saw Nie Xing collapsed on the ground, covered in blood.

Gong Liangbu was completely stunned by the sight.

"Mr. Chen, this is bad! Nie Xing has passed out! It looks like he was ambushed and is severely wounded."

Gong Liangbu said, running up to Chen Qingdi.

"Mm, let’s go take a look."

Chen Qingdi immediately went to Nie Xing’s side.

His expression grew grim as he assessed Nie Xing’s condition.

"How vicious. The Hidden Weapons were coated with a potent poison."

Chen Qingdi remarked.

"Should we save him?"

Gong Liangbu asked.

"Of course, we’re saving him."

"The fact that he came to us now means he believes we’re the only ones who can save his life."

"If we save him, he’ll be one of ours from now on."

"He is, after all, an expert of the Innate Realm. And from the looks of it, he’s on the verge of breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm."

Chen Qingdi said.

Gong Liangbu first cleaned and then bandaged Nie Xing’s wounds.

He was a Martial Physician, after all, so he could at least handle the basics.

However, Nie Xing’s injuries were too severe. Reviving him was beyond Gong Liangbu’s medical abilities.

"It’s up to you now, Mr. Chen."

Gong Liangbu said, looking at Chen Qingdi.

"Don’t go relying on me."

"If you lean on me, I’ll just fall over."

Chen Qingdi said with a laugh.

"I’m sure you won’t. In this situation, you’re the only one who can save him."

Gong Liangbu said.

"Carry him into the courtyard."

"And clean up the blood outside."

Chen Qingdi instructed.

"Right."

Gong Liangbu quickly carried Nie Xing into the courtyard, then went to clean up the bloodstains at the gate.

Once everything was done, he returned to Chen Qingdi’s side.
