Chapter 739: 601 Life and Death Unequal, Ying Zijin Awakens [1 Update]_2

But it was just Ancient Medicine.

The direct lineage family members of the Meng Family, not one knew Ancient martial arts, which is why they collaborated with the Ancient Martial Families for protection.

Looking at the mess here, Meng Xiong’s hands also trembled.

He had also been reclusive for several decades.

The last time he came out was because Fu Yunshen had turned a direct lineage family member of the Meng Family into a vegetable.

That direct lineage family member had still not awoken, hanging onto life with the help of costly medicinal herbs.

But after understanding the consequences, it was that direct lineage member who was at fault first, and had indeed been vile.

So he asked the Meng Family to stop, allowing Fu Yunshen to leave safely and unharmed.

Otherwise, the then fifteen-year-old Yunshen wouldn’t have been able to leave the Meng Family so easily.

Meng Xiong took a deep breath, glanced at the badly beaten Patriarch Meng, and with a calm gaze, turned to the Great Elder and asked, "What have you done this time?"

The Great Elder "thumped" to his knees, terrified, "Ancestor, I have done nothing, I just finished examining Qingxue and fed her medicine."

He had no idea how Patriarch Meng suddenly managed to obtain the Purple Dew Ginseng.

But the Purple Dew Ginseng was indeed useful for Meng Qingxue.

Meng Xiong scrutinized the Great Elder with a sharp gaze, making sure he wasn’t lying, then asked Patriarch Meng, "Speak!"

He knew Fu Yunshen well; he wouldn’t take action without good reason.

"What, I just let out a few harsh words? I wanted to make him collect the corpses of his family!" Patriarch Meng snapped with feigned bravery, "What, can’t we even speak now?"

Indeed, he did hear about the Foo Family’s movements and deliberately bought the Purple Dew Ginseng and issued threats.

It wasn’t that there was only one kind of medicine that could save Meng Qingxue.

But Ying Zijin had only that one type of medicine.

Otherwise, Foo Xi would not have sent the Great Elder to purchase it personally.

He did it on purpose, but, unfortunately, others could find no fault with his actions.

But who would have thought that Fu Yunshen would actually come knocking at their door?

Without giving any quarter.

Upon hearing this, Meng Xiong couldn’t hold back any longer.

He raised his hand and harshly slapped Patriarch Meng.

Patriarch Meng, already severely injured by Fu Yunshen, was frail.

As he was struck by Meng Xiong’s slap, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his breath growing significantly weaker.

Furious, Meng Xiong barked, "If you’re buying medicine, just buy it, why the loose lips? Does acting vile make you invincible?"

No wonder then.

This was exactly the same reason why that direct lineage family member was crippled last time.

"Old Mr. Meng, you once saved my life," said Fu Yunshen as he stood up straight, "The matters of the Meng Family, resolve them yourselves, I’m going back to be with someone."

With the evil doctor lurking in the shadows, one must always be on guard.

Meng Xiong sighed, "I will send people out to look for the Purple Dew Ginseng, and will surely send it over to you as soon as possible, my sincere apologies."

"Old Mr. Meng is benevolent at heart," commented Fu Yunshen indifferently, "However, there’s no need, it’s of no use now."

Meng Xiong paused, bewildered, and before he could say anything, the man had already left.

Patriarch Meng, still sprawled on the ground, upon hearing these words, felt a surge of joy inside.

This seemed to indicate that Ying Zijin had indeed died.

Or she was at a point where not even medicine or doctors could help.

Otherwise, why would Fu Yunshen have refused the medicine?

Coldly, without a trace of mercy, Meng Xiong commanded, "Go kneel in the ancestral hall, no one is allowed to treat you, if you can’t hold on, then it’s better if you die, let’s see what kind of atmosphere you’ve set for the Meng Family!"

Since the Ancestor had emerged, his commands were naturally more authoritative than those of Patriarch Meng.

Patriarch Meng opened his mouth, but before he could speak, two guards dragged him to the ancestral hall.

The Great Elder was still kneeling on the ground, trembling.

"Look carefully, go and ask the Foo Family, the An Family, and the surviving members of the Pill Alliance," Meng Xiong paused and said, "Ask them why so many of my Meng Family perished."

Indeed, the action of the evil doctor took everyone by surprise.

But compared to the other three major forces, too many of the Meng Family died.

This forced Meng Xiong to suspect that among those of the Meng Family who went out for their trials this time, there was one or more present from the ranks of the evil doctor.

This was a big problem.

It was too easy for practitioners of Ancient Medicine to diverge onto the path of the evil doctor.

Once an evil doctor emerged, it wouldn’t take long to lead other practitioners of Ancient Medicine down this wicked path.

Relieved, the Great Elder said, "I will obey."

"Then prepare to select a new head of the Meng Family," Meng Xiong stated coolly, "For the time being, all affairs of the Meng Family will be managed by me."

Two days later.

At the Foo Family.

Ying Zijin slowly opened her eyes.

She raised a hand to block the sunlight streaming in, feeling as if she’d been in another world.
