Chapter 7

~7 min read 1,335 words

As night fell, Tang Yun, dressed in black, sneaked into the Liu family mansion silently. He was agile, shuttling through the pavilions and towers like a ghost, avoiding the patrolling guards.

The entrance to the Liu family's secret room was hidden behind a landscape painting. Tang Yun lightly moved the mechanism, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage.

The secret room was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry. Tang Yun was not attracted by the treasures in front of him; he walked straight to a table in the corner, on which were some documents and a locked wooden box.

Tang Yun pried open the wooden box, inside which was a diary and several letters. He opened the diary, and lines of graceful handwriting came into view; the owner of the diary was his mother who had been missing for many years.

The diary recorded the process of his mother being coerced by Liu Tianba to hand over the ancestral prescription. The last diary entry was written the day before his mother passed away.

"Liu Tianba, you will not die well!" Tang Yun gritted his teeth, his fists clenched.

He continued to read the letters and found that one of them was written by Liu Tianba to a mysterious person, mentioning a plan, the target of which was the Lin family.

"Lin Hong must die!" At the end of the letter, these four words were written clearly.

Tang Yun's heart was shocked, realizing that the crisis facing the Lin family was even more serious than he had imagined.

He put away the diary and letters, preparing to leave the secret room. Just then, he heard footsteps outside.

"Not good, someone is coming!" Tang Yun thought to himself.

He quickly hid in a corner, holding his breath, motionless.

The door of the secret room was pushed open, and Liu Tianba and a man in black walked in.

"How is it going?" Liu Tianba asked.

"Everything is going smoothly, Lin Hong won't live past tonight." The man in black replied respectfully.

"Good! Well done!" Liu Tianba laughed triumphantly, "Once the Lin family collapses, their property will all be ours!"

Tang Yun hid in the dark, hearing their conversation clearly. His heart was burning with anger, wishing he could rush out immediately and kill Liu Tianba.

But it wasn't the time yet. He had to tell the Lin family this news first, so they could be prepared.

Tang Yun left the secret room quietly and returned to his clinic.

The next day, Tang Yun came to the pharmacy under the Liu family.

On the third day, he took advantage of people not paying attention and inserted a specially made silver needle into the gap of the medicine cabinet. This silver needle was connected to a miniature bug, which could transmit the sound in the pharmacy to his ears.

Tang Yun sat in the pharmacy for a while and heard the conversation between the pharmacy manager and the clerk.

"Manager, is this medicine really okay? I always feel something is wrong." The clerk asked in a low voice.

"What do you know! This is a special prescription from Old Master Liu, the effect is very good!" The manager said impatiently, "Less nonsense, hurry up and work!"

Tang Yun sneered in his heart; Liu Tianba's so-called "special medicine" was actually prepared with poison.

He walked to the counter and said to the manager: "Manager, I haven't been feeling well lately, can you help me take a look?"

The manager looked Tang Yun up and down, and seeing his plain clothes, said with some disdain: "See a doctor? This is a pharmacy, not a clinic."

"I know, but my illness is very special, and only the medicine here can cure it." Tang Yun said mysteriously.

The manager became interested and asked: "Oh? What illness?"

Tang Yun said: "I've been poisoned."

As soon as this was said, the surrounding customers looked at Tang Yun one after another.

The manager's face changed, and he shouted sternly: "Nonsense! The medicine here is all from regular channels, how can there be poison?"

"Is that so?" Tang Yun sneered, "Then I'll let you see for yourself."

He took out a silver needle from his bosom and said: "This silver needle can test whether the medicine is poisonous. If there is poison in the medicine, the silver needle will turn black."

Saying that, he inserted the silver needle into a bottle of medicinal liquid.

A moment later, the silver needle indeed turned black.

The surrounding customers suddenly exploded.

"My God! It's really poisonous!"

"The Liu family is actually selling poison!"

"Too terrible!"

The manager's face turned pale, his whole body trembling.

Tang Yun took the opportunity to perform the "Medicine King Scripture" acupuncture technique, clearing all the poison in the pharmacy.

Just then, Han Zifan rushed in with a team of War King guards.

"Tang Yun, you are bold, daring to make trouble in the Liu family's pharmacy!" Han Zifan shouted angrily.

"Han Zifan, you are helping the tyrant, you deserve to die!" Tang Yun retorted without fear.

"Looking for death!" Han Zifan drew his long sword and stabbed at Tang Yun.

Tang Yun performed the "Heavenly Gang Step," playing with Han Zifan and his subordinates.

Han Zifan was annoyed and attacked Tang Yun with all his strength.

Tang Yun sneered and slapped Han Zifan on the chest.

Han Zifan screamed, flew backward, vomited blood, and his meridians were broken.

The surrounding customers and pharmacy clerks were stunned.

Tang Yun's eyes swept over the crowd, and he said in a deep voice: "The Liu family has done many evil deeds, and today I will act on behalf of heaven!"

As soon as Tang Yun finished speaking, a commotion came from outside the pharmacy. Immediately after, more than a dozen men in black holding sharp blades rushed in aggressively.

The leading man in black shouted and rushed straight at Tang Yun.

Tang Yun recognized at a glance that these people were experts of the Liu family, each with extraordinary skills; in normal times, they might have made him wary, but now he was no longer what he used to be.

"Overestimating yourself!" Tang Yun snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he disappeared in place.

When he appeared again, he was already standing in front of the leading man in black, slapping out with his palm.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the man in black flew backward like a broken kite, falling heavily to the ground, vomiting blood, and was already breathless.

The remaining men in black were stunned in place, their eyes full of horror.

"He... he killed the Liu family's guard commander!" a man in black said trembling.

"This kid is very evil, let's go together!" another man in black shouted, emboldened.

More than a dozen men in black swarmed up, surrounding Tang Yun, with sword lights and sword shadows, full of murderous intent.

Tang Yun's expression didn't change. "Bang, bang, bang!"

A series of muffled sounds, the men in black flew backward one after another, and the wails rose one after another.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen men in black all fell to the ground, some dead, some injured.

The customers and clerks in the pharmacy were stunned, all of them dumbfounded, as if watching gods fight.

"My God, this is too powerful!"

"Who exactly is this kid?"

"Is he really a doctor?"

Tang Yun clapped his hands and said easily: "A bunch of chickens and dogs, unbearable to a single blow."

At this time, Lin Xiyue walked out of the crowd and said with a worried face: "Tang Yun, are you okay?"

Tang Yun smiled slightly and said: "I'm fine, just a small injury."

Lin Xiyue carefully checked Tang Yun's body, and after confirming that he was really not injured, she felt relieved.

Just then, a sharp voice suddenly rang out: "Tang Yun, you dare to commit violence in the street, today I will bring you to justice!"
