Yu Long is Medical Saint?
🕑 Added 2024-08-12 17:48:23 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 268 ---
After testing the Heavenly Wind Barrier, the patriarchs have fawning looks on their faces. They couldn't wait to get their hands on the Heavenly Wind Flower, not knowing how difficult it was to grow one.
However, Yu Long didn't bother to expose their ignorance.
Yan Zijing returned to the rooftop and cupped his hand, "Consort Yu, I'd like to thank you for giving us this chance. Also, I'm sorry if my action offends you."
Yu Long raised his eyebrow before replying, "No offense taken."
"To be honest, I was more interested in your spear technique. That last attack wasn't bad at all."
"You must have refined your spear technique for a long time."
Yan Ziying was astonished by Yu Long's sensibleness. He couldn't help but re-evaluate him.
'It seems he was attacking Helian Kuang to test us earlier.' The spear-wielding patriarch thought to himself.
Yu Long noticed the weird light in Yan Zhijing's eyes but ignored them as he wasn't interested in his thoughts. He was more interested in getting Yan Zijing's blood and profound arts for research.
Anyway, Yu Long could always ask for Huan Caiyi's help.
She's the empress here, after all.
Huan Caiyi observed this exchange calmly and commented, "As you can see, the Heavenly Wind Barrier has proven its effectiveness and will grow stronger as the Heavenly Wind Flower matures."
"Am I right, Yu Long?"
"Mm." Yu Long nodded, not saying anything.
Huan Caiyi stared at the patriarchs and added, "From now on, your task will be gathering the Golden Sunflower's seeds, growing them around the important cities and settlements in the Illusory Demon Realm."
"After you master the Golden Balance Spirit Array, we can plant the Heavenly Wind Flowers."
"Are there any objections?"
The patriarchs glanced at each other and shook their heads.
"No, Empress!"
Huan Caiyi nodded, "Good. We can start on another matter now."
Everyone returned to the private room, taking their seats.
Huan Caiyi eyed the patriarchs and explained, "In the upcoming Hundred Years Reign Ceremony, I'm planning to uproot Duke Huai Palace and its supporters."
The patriarchs were shocked. They couldn't believe their ears for a second.
Cough!
Yun Clan's current patriarch, Yun Qinghong, coughed, "Empress, isn't this too sudden?"
After Yun Canghai and Yun Che returned to the Yun Family recently, Yun Qinghong somewhat knew about Huan Caiyi's plan, but isn't this too rash of a decision? They couldn't possibly gather enough force.
The patriarch agreed with Yun Qinghong. Even though they didn't want to admit it, Duke Huai Palace gained power and influence that rivaled the Twelve Guardian Families.
In the past sixteen years, they heard a rumor that Duke Ming had touched the threshold of the Profound God Realm.
"I know your worry, but we must get rid of him." Huan Caiyi pressed this matter. She flapped her hand and showed something to them.
The patriarchs stared at Huan Caiyi's palm and saw the Demon Emperor's seal. Their eyes widened in disbelief.
"This is..."
"There is no mistake..."
"This is the Demon Emperor's seal."
"But how could this be? The last person who held the Demon Emperor's seal is the Demon King, but he has disappeared for over a hundred years..."
"Yun Qinghong, has Old Ghost Yun returned?" asked a middle-aged man in a white-blue robe. He has deep black eyes, brown hair, and a long yet well-maintained beard.
'Father-in-law, we can talk about this later." Yun Qinghong was stunned by this sudden question. He chuckled weakly and denied it by shaking his head. However, everyone in the room knew the answer after seeing his reaction.
They couldn't help but suck a deep breath, knowing a legendary figure known as the Demon King returned to the Illusory Demon Realm.
"Very well..." The middle-aged man nodded in understanding. He was Mu Feiyun, the Patriarch of the Mu Clan. He's Yun Che's grandfather from his maternal side.
'These guys.' The other patriarchs clicked their tongues.
"Enough." Huan Caiyi tapped her finger on the table, gaining everyone's attention again. Her authority is unquestionable.
"I have gathered enough dirt and unveiled Duke Ming's deeds."
"He was the one who killed the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor."
After Huan Caiyi said that, the room instantly became quiet. Her cold voice reverberated in their heart.
The patriarchs' expression morphed into that of disbelief, shock, and enlightenment.
That's right.
They should have guessed it. Duke Ming was the only expert who could do these acts behind their backs. He's a crafty old fox.
Not to mention, Duke Huai Palace has aggressively grown more powerful, suppressing their families and Huan Caiyi's party for over a hundred years, trying to get on her throne.
In the light, nothing happened.
However, the shadow is unknown to the public.
They couldn't count how many factions and businesses lost there.
They swallowed their anger and waited for Huan Caiyi's next order.
Huan Caiyi calmly sighed, "I know the Duke Huai Palace was troublesome to all of you, but everything will be over soon. The treasure I gained in the Demonic Star Secret Realm allows my strength to grow tremendously."
"So what if Duke Ming becomes stronger? I'm still stronger than him..."
'There is also Witch Stuff...' She thought while reciting Sky Demon Sutra subconsciously. She felt a soothing wave soaking her mind.
She recovered from the calming sensation and said, "The plan is simple and straightforward."
"I want the patriarchs to use Heavenly Grotto Sealing Arrays to trap Duke Huai Palace's goons while I deal with Duke Ming."
"If possible, you can also kill those goons." Her voice was indifferent to traitor's lives.
After hearing her decisiveness, the Twelve Guardian Families' patriarchs nodded solemnly. Heavenly Grotto Sealing Array is a secret art passed by the Demon Emperor to the Twelve Guardian Family, and they could use it to seal space and weaken enemies.
In fact, the Demon Emperor used it all by himself to kill a peak Sovereign Profound Beast. Unfortunately, it was all past glory.
Then, they glanced at the sick-looking Yun Qinghong. They don't want to say it, but the current patriarch of the Yun Family can't use the Heavenly Grotto Sealing Array due to being injured.
It would cause the array to get weakened by 10%.
And 10% is a lot.
Yun Qinghong knew what their gazes meant and sighed inwardly. After traveling to the Profound Sky Continent back then, he suffered horrible internal injuries and cold poison.
These factors didn't just weaken Yun Qinghong's cultivation base but also threatened his life expectancy. Many doctors said he would die soon.
Huan Caiyi was also troubled by this. She had some drops of Evergreen Tree's Dew left, which could help Yun Qinghong.
The problem is Yun Qinghong's internal injuries have worsened beyond the ordinary, and cold poison has seeped into his marrow.
The fact Yun Qinghong could walk to the Hidden City without losing breath is a miracle.
"Patriarch Yun, give me your hand for a second." said a calm voice. It was Yu Long who lazily leaned on his chair.
Everyone glanced at him and was stunned for a moment.
"Can you heal him?" Huan Caiyi asked expectantly.
Yu Long stared at Yun Qinghong's sick complexion and commented, "Isn't it just some internal injuries and cold poison? Even if his heart stopped or his head got blown to pieces, I can still bring him to life."
"..." Everyone.
Why are you bragging?
Be a human, can't you?
Even the best doctor in the Illusory Demon Realm has no confidence to say such a thing. It's almost blasphemous.
Well, Yu Long is different.
'Heh, my hubby will widen your narrow vision.' Chu Yuechan proudly raised her chest, causing them to jiggle slightly.
No one in the room knows Yu Long's medical skill more than Chu Yuechan.
She has seen her fair share of Yu Long's miracles.
"Do you want to be healthy or not?" Yu Long lazily waved his hand.
Yun Qinghong smiled wryly because he also heard of Yu Long from Yun Canghai, though most of what his father said sounded more like complaints than information.
But Yun Canghai did press one point very seriously. He warned Yun Qinghong not to offend Yu Long or stay on his 'bad' side.
After seeing Helian Kuang beaten up by Yu Long, Yun Qinghong was satisfied and agreed with his father's words.
So, Yun Qinghong readily offered his left arm to Yu Long.
Yu Long grabbed Yun Qinghong's hand, pressing his nerve gently.
He looked uninterested before saying, "Done."
"Pardon?" Yun Qinghong got caught off guard.
He seemed to hear Yu Long's statement wrong.
"Done. I already cursed your injuries and cold poison." Yu Long yawned casually.
"..." Everyone.
Is Yu Long perhaps a Medical Saint?
