Medical and Martial God-Chapter 220: A Cover-Up Only Reveals More, Targeting the Shen Family

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: A Cover-Up Only Reveals More, Targeting the Shen Family

Several minutes after Ye Xiu had left, the martial artists present began to gasp for air. While Huang Quan was there, they hadn’t dared to breathe and had almost suffocated!

"That’s strange, why would Huang Quan come here?" someone asked.

"Earlier, Huang Quan had Azure Dragon send Gaelin to Shenghe Hospital. I presume he was here to see Gaelin," someone else replied.

The crowd exchanged glances, casting mournful looks toward the bodies of Jim and Yagyu Uemon. These five had been incredibly unlucky, stirring up trouble at Shenghe Hospital only to run into Huang Quan! Alas, it seemed one really needed to check the almanac before leaving the house.

"Ranran, what’s going on with you? Isn’t your Yin Poison Body unsuitable for cultivation?" Mu Tian’en asked softly, pulling Murong aside.

"Teacher Ye passed on a set of techniques to me called the Cold Ice Technique, which is a perfect match for my Yin Poison Body. From now on, not only will I not be hindered by it, but it will actually enhance the power of the Cold Ice Technique. Teacher Ye also said my attacks would carry Yin Cold Poison," Murong explained.

"I see!" Mu Tian’en realized, remarking with emotion, "Ye Xiu is truly a benefactor of our Mu Family."

"It was Grandfather who asked Teacher Ye to look after the Mu Family," Murong said.

"What a pity he’s married!" Mu Tian’en sighed, then asked tentatively, "Um, Ranran, I’ve heard that wealthy men often have a hobby of keeping mistresses. Does Ye Xiu happen to..."

"I have to go!" Before Mu Tian’en could finish, Murong turned and left. Her father’s attitude toward her had changed significantly, but he was still as greedy and unscrupulous as ever.

As Ye Xiu was walking out, he saw the bald Qing Luan rushing over.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Here for the show," Qing Luan chuckled. "Jim and Yagyu Uemon said they were coming to you for treatment. I figured they’d cause trouble, so I came to watch the fun."

"They’re already dead. There’s no more Xuan Ming Sect or Tiansha Association," Ye Xiu said.

Qing Luan beat her chest and stomped her feet in frustration. "I’m too late! Damn this traffic..."

"That bald head of yours isn’t bad. It’s much sexier than before," Ye Xiu said teasingly, patting Qing Luan’s head.

"Please don’t make fun of me." Qing Luan blushed and dodged away, changing the subject. "Right, Azure Dragon asked me to tell you something. Everyone who didn’t go to the gymnasium today are martial artists from Qi Yun Dao."

As she spoke, she took out her phone, forwarded the list from Azure Dragon to Ye Xiu, and continued, "Gaelin is a Loose Cultivator. He’s a recluse with no friends and has kept a low profile since arriving in Jin Ye City. But last night, he had dinner with Xiong Ba, the head of the Xiong Family from Qi Yun Dao!"

Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes. Xiong Ba and Gaelin had dinner, and this morning Gaelin was poisoned and went mad. Coincidentally, a large number of Qi Yun Dao martial artists didn’t go to the gymnasium this morning. The identity of the poisoner was obvious! It had to be Xiong Ba! He knew exactly what would happen to Gaelin after being poisoned, so he informed his own people in advance not to go to the gymnasium this morning! And the Xiong Family is affiliated with the Shen Family!

"How much do you know about the Shen Family?" Ye Xiu asked.

Qing Luan was stunned, not understanding why Ye Xiu had suddenly mentioned the Shen Family. Then, as if struck by lightning, she said, "The martial artists from Qi Yun Dao who didn’t go to the gymnasium this morning... they’re all affiliated with the Shen Family."

"Prepare a file on the Shen Family for me. The more detailed, the better. I want everything, including hearsay and rumors. Get it done quickly!" Ye Xiu commanded.

"Alright, I’ll have someone start on it right away." Qing Luan immediately made a call to have the file on the Shen Family prepared. After hanging up, she asked, "Why are you so interested in the Shen Family?"

"The poison Gaelin was afflicted with is called ’Blood Pill,’ and the one who most likely poisoned him is Xiong Ba. I suspect the true mastermind is the Shen Family," Ye Xiu said. He didn’t mention his growing suspicion that the Shen Family was a member of the Long Family Alliance.

"If that’s the case, I should prepare the file on the Shen Family myself. I’ll get going!" Realizing the gravity of the situation, Qing Luan rushed away.

Just then, Gong Jin called. "Young Master, the Crystal Palace is completely empty."

Ye Xiu chuckled. So the Shen Family realized they might be exposed after last night’s events and decided to disband the Crystal Palace. Such a clumsy cover-up. At this point, I’m almost certain. The Shen Family is a member of the Long Family Alliance; I just don’t know which ’Long’ they represent.

「Kangtai Hospital!」

Miyamoto Satoshi and the medical inspection team were working overtime, mass-producing the Seven Deadly Pills. Fifty people, all with dark circles under their eyes. To get the required pills as quickly as possible, Mutou Bingyuan had ordered them to do nothing but make pills, only stopping for meals and bathroom breaks. The fifty of them were on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion.

"How much longer until they’re finished?" Mutou Bingyuan asked impatiently.

"By this evening at the latest," Miyamoto Satoshi replied.

"Speed up. They must be finished before 3 p.m.," Mutou Bingyuan commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Hearing this, the hearts of Miyamoto Satoshi and the others shattered. This was a pace that would work them to death. But they didn’t dare say a word.

Just then, Mutou Bingyuan’s phone rang. It was Nakajima, one of the Tiansha Association’s nine serpent heads.

"Young Master, Yagyu Uemon, Takahashi, and Nagakawa have been killed by Huang Quan at Shenghe Hospital."

"What?" Mutou Bingyuan’s expression changed drastically. The nine serpent heads are now down to four?

"Why did Huang Quan kill them?" he asked.

"That’s not important anymore," Nakajima replied. "Huang Quan has issued an order: all members of the Tiansha Association and Xuan Ming Sect in Jin Ye City must commit suicide. Otherwise, their entire clans will be annihilated!"

"This..." Mutou Bingyuan’s face twisted, and his heart instantly plummeted into an icy abyss.

"Young Master, what should we do? Do we really have to commit suicide?" Nakajima asked.

"No one dares to disobey an order from Huang Quan," Mutou Bingyuan said gravely. "However, he didn’t specify *when* we have to kill ourselves. Incite the War Gods from the Xuan Ming Sect. Join forces with them to kill Ye Xiu. Once you’ve confirmed whether he has a dragon-shaped pattern on his left arm, report back to me."

"Understood!"

After hanging up, Mutou Bingyuan’s expression became manic. Four serpent heads, plus three War Gods from the Xuan Ming Sect. A total of seven people. Killing Ye Xiu will be a certainty! As long as I confirm whether Ye Xiu has the dragon-shaped pattern on his left arm, I can fabricate a cause of death for Dragon Hollyhock and Long Bo. Then I can return to the Long Family, receive their protection, and perhaps even escape Huang Quan’s hunt.

"I don’t care what methods you use, but you must produce all the Seven Deadly Pills I need by noon!" Mutou Bingyuan told Miyamoto Satoshi and the other fifty people coldly. The Tiansha Association is finished! In that case, let the tens of thousands of martial artists who took the pills die as well. They can accompany the Tiansha Association to the grave!

"Young Master, there’s no way we can produce them all by noon," Miyamoto Satoshi said with a devastated expression.

"If you can’t, you will all die!" Mutou Bingyuan declared with chilling killing intent before turning and leaving.

Seeing this, someone frantically asked Miyamoto Satoshi, "What do we do now? It’s impossible for us to produce all the Seven Deadly Pills the Young Master needs by noon."

Miyamoto Satoshi thought for a moment. "You, take a few people and quietly go to the warehouse. Bring all the Six-Flavor Rehmanni Pills here. They look similar enough to the Seven Deadly Pills, and Mutou Bingyuan won’t be able to tell the difference anyway."
