Peerless Medical Emperor

'Even if I gave them the Spirit Jade Fragment now, they might not kill my son, but they'd definitely punish him in some way.'

"Alright, Elder Situ, don't overthink it. Just focus on taking each step as it comes."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Okay."

Situ Xian nodded.

"Thank you."

He looked at Chen Qingdi, his face full of gratitude.

But Chen Qingdi just shook his head gently.

"It's nothing, you don't need to be so polite."

Chen Qingdi said.

"I'm afraid Young Master Zheng's condition isn't that simple."

"Young Master Zheng seemed perfectly fine when I saw him yesterday, but today he suddenly ended up like this. Honestly, I just can't figure out why it happened."

Situ Xian said.

"Did anyone come into contact with Young Master Zheng during that time?"

"Otherwise, how could Young Master Zheng have been afflicted by the ultimate poison of the Blood Dragon Association?"

Chen Qingdi was also very confused.

"Yes, I'm very confused as well."

"It seems there are people within the Zheng Family targeting Young Master Zheng, plotting against the family itself."

Situ Xian concluded.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Young Master Zheng should be waking up soon. Let's go check on him."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Okay."

Situ Xian nodded.

But just then, an urgent shout rang out.

"This is bad! This is bad! Divine Physician Chen, the Patriarch has collapsed!"

"And black insects are crawling out of his mouth! No one dares to get close."

A servant of the Zheng Family found Chen Qingdi and spoke with a panicked expression.

"Insects coming out of his mouth?"

"Are you sure?"

Hearing this, even Situ Xian found it hard to believe.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes! The Patriarch is continuously coughing up insects from his mouth."

"Everyone is too scared to enter his room."

The servant said, his face etched with worry.

This turn of events was something that neither Chen Qingdi nor Situ Xian had expected.

"Huh? What's going on? We need to go take a look immediately."

"I'm afraid these insects might have some sort of destructive ability."

As Chen Qingdi spoke, he hurried to the door of Patriarch Zheng's bedroom, led by the servant.

Several servants stood at the door, but they didn't dare to go inside.

Quite a few small insects were crawling out from the crack under the door.

Upon seeing the insects, they were all terrified, backing away continuously, not wanting to touch them.

It was as if they were afraid the insects would eat them.

"All of you, retreat downstairs. Leave this to me."

Chen Qingdi said to the servants as soon as he arrived.

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Divine Physician Chen."

They couldn't wait to run downstairs, so when they heard they could leave, they were naturally more than willing.

They all hurried away.

The insects were densely packed, pouring out in droves from the crack under the door.

'But how could a person's body possibly contain so many insects?'

Therefore, Chen Qingdi suspected that someone had placed these insects here in advance.

"What are these insects?"

Situ Xian, standing to the side, was worldly and experienced, but even he had never seen this kind of insect before.

"These are Seven-Bone Snake Insects!"

Chen Qingdi said.

"Seven-Bone Snake Insects… I've never heard of such a thing."

"But just from the name, you can tell they're extremely difficult to deal with."

"What should we do?"

"Are you going in to take a look?"

Situ Xian looked at Chen Qingdi.

"Yes, I'm going in."

"Seven-Bone Snake Insects consume a person's vital essence and blood to transform into a snake-like form. While they're still this small, they're easier to eliminate."

"In any case, just leave everything here to me. You should retreat as well."

Chen Qingdi said to Situ Xian.

Situ Xian nodded quickly. He truly couldn't handle these insects, and staying here would be of no help. It was better to retreat and let Chen Qingdi deal with them.

'To wipe out so many Seven-Bone Snake Insects at once, I first need to lure them all to one spot.'

However, Chen Qingdi was a high-level Spirit Cultivator, which was different from a Martial Cultivator.

His strength was immense. By just using the Qi Strength around his body to form a Qi Net, he could first suck all the Seven-Bone Snake Insects inside and then slowly eliminate them.

With this in mind, Chen Qingdi immediately got to work. With a wave of his hand, a huge amount of energy instantly formed a Qi Net, which, with a series of WHOOSHES, sucked all the insects inside.

Seeing this, the Zheng Family servants watching from downstairs were shocked beyond words.

"This Divine Physician Chen… he's truly a god among men."

"He just sucked all those insects into that Qi Net, just like that."

The servants murmured amongst themselves.

Situ Xian also watched this scene with utmost seriousness.

'Divine Physician Chen is truly incredible.'

'I've never even heard of these Seven-Bone Snake Insects, yet Chen Qingdi can handle them with such ease.'

Situ Xian was filled with admiration.

It even made Situ Xian consider the idea of asking Chen Qingdi to be his master.

'But it's too early for that. I'll think about it after Young Master Zheng has recovered.'

'Besides, Patriarch Zheng is the one in trouble now.'

'Does this mean a major upheaval is about to happen in the Zheng Family?'

'These great families really have so many problems.'

'Chen Qingdi had just witnessed the turmoil in the Luo Family. Is it all for the position of patriarch?'

Chen Qingdi didn't know the specific situation of the Zheng Family, nor had he paid it much attention.

After gathering all the Seven-Bone Snake Insects from outside the door into his Qi Net, Chen Qingdi pushed open Patriarch Zheng's door. He looked inside and saw countless Seven-Bone Snake Insects crawling on Patriarch Zheng, already beginning to devour his body.

Much of Patriarch Zheng's flesh had already rotted away.

Seeing this, Chen Qingdi's gaze grew increasingly solemn.

Patriarch Zheng's condition was now, without a doubt, perilous.

Chen Qingdi waved his hand, and the Qi Net enveloped Patriarch Zheng's body, quickly sucking all the Seven-Bone Snake Insects into it.

Once all the Seven-Bone Snake Insects had been drawn into the Qi Net, Chen Qingdi immediately turned his attention to Patriarch Zheng.

It was unclear if Patriarch Zheng was dead or alive.

As Chen Qingdi drew near and checked for breath, he found that the Patriarch was no longer breathing. The situation gave him quite a fright.

However, Chen Qingdi quickly calmed himself.

Seeing that all the insects had been captured, the Zheng Family's butler, the servants, and Situ Xian also entered the Patriarch's room.

Seeing Patriarch Zheng lying on the bed, no longer breathing, the Zheng Family's butler, Su Wen, began to wail.

"Patriarch, how could you leave us like this?"

Su Wen said, his face contorted with grief.
