Chapter 210: How Dared He

~10 min read 1,953 words

"Is this medicinal formula something you developed? So, are you also a member of the Feng Family?"

What is going on with the Feng Family? Feng Moli wants the Feng Family destroyed, and this one before me also wants not a single member of the Feng Family left alive; can their family not produce anyone normal?

It is truly not easy for a family like this to have survived until now.

"No, Lord Shen, do not misunderstand. I am merely a pharmacist hired by the Feng Family from the outside. If I were a member of the Feng Family, how would I have ended up in such a state!"

With a burning gaze, as if recalling the past, a look of regret flickered across the old man's face. He was not a member of the Feng Family, yet he had to participate in the Feng Family's secrets; was this not just courting death?

One misstep leads to eternal regret, and looking back, it is all in vain. If only I had known... forget it, money cannot buy foresight!

"My name is Xue Muchen. Lord Shen should be very unfamiliar with this name, but thirty years ago, many people should have heard of it."

"Back then, I should not have, above all else, lightly trusted the words of the Feng Family and come to the Feng Family. It is laughable that I thought the Feng Family was truly some great medical and martial clan, not knowing they were merely famous in name only—a bunch of hypocrites!"

"Medicine King Xue Muchen, so it is you!" A disgraced disciple of Medicine King Valley, cast out of Medicine King Valley back then because of his crooked heart.

But because his natural talent was too high, even while bearing the title of a disgraced disciple of Medicine King Valley, he still flourished in the Jianghu.

In the end, he even self-proclaimed as the Medicine King. Doing this was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Medicine King Valley. One must know, only the head of Medicine King Valley of each generation is qualified to inherit the title of Medicine King and walk the Jianghu.

Yet even so, Medicine King Valley had no response to this. For a time, there were actually two Medicine Kings appearing in the Jianghu simultaneously.

One was the head of Medicine King Valley, and the other was the disgraced disciple of Medicine King Valley.

This matter not only showed that the head of Medicine King Valley at the time had sufficient magnanimity, but also showed that Xue Muchen's medical techniques had indeed reached the pinnacle.

Perhaps even the head of Medicine King Valley would admit that he might not be his opponent in this regard. It is no wonder the medicinal formula for the Living Dead came from his hands.

"So Lord Shen has actually heard of my name; I am truly ashamed!"

"Then, did you have a falling out with the Feng Family in the end?"

"When the birds are gone, the good bow is put away; when the rabbits are dead, the hunting dog is cooked—it has been this way since ancient times!"

With a faint smile, Xue Muchen said slowly, "How could the Feng Family allow such a medicinal formula to be held in the hands of an outsider? Therefore, I had to die!"

"When I obtained such a medicinal formula and began to study it, I knew there would surely be such a day. But such a medicinal formula is too attractive; who wouldn't want to study it, who wouldn't want to become world-renowned because of it!"

"Fortunately, I knew the Feng Family well enough and knew that they would definitely take action in the end, which is why I secretly administered medicine to myself as well!"

"The Feng Family really does have a knack for timing; so that is when you became a Living Dead?" Looking at this appearance, one can tell that Xue Muchen is another person who can become obsessed with research and unable to extricate himself.

Such a person is extremely paranoid; upon encountering a strange medicinal formula that interests him, he will surely be unable to resist the itch. Even knowing clearly that the Feng Family would not keep him alive afterward, he still could not help but study it.

When it comes down to it, this is courting death himself. However, he had long known the outcome; there is no need for such great hatred, is there?

"Indeed, that is when I became a Living Dead. No matter what, the Feng Family is a clan that uses medicine; if I hadn't truly died, how could I have deceived them?"

"Moreover, in their view, a Living Dead has no emotions, no reason, and is merely a qualified tool and weapon. They felt that with my pride, it would be impossible for me to turn myself into a Living Dead."

"But they forgot, I am Xue Muchen, the Xue Muchen who can turn the impossible into the possible!"

At this moment, Xue Muchen was indescribably confident, and his eyes held even more disdain for the Feng Family.

When it comes to medical techniques, Xue Muchen considers himself, if not the first, then certainly someone few can match. This is his pride; a mere Feng Family is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Perhaps in his view, if not for the many medicinal formulas they had plundered, how could the Feng Family have its current status, and what would they have to attract him here?

With such a personality of looking down on others, it is thanks to his contributions that he wasn't beaten to death by the Feng Family members. Otherwise, his ashes could have been scattered by someone.

"I have studied such medicine for many years, so naturally, I have ways to preserve my will. It is just that I did not tell the Feng Family about these. Living under someone else's roof, one must always keep an ace up their sleeve!"

"So I was able to live on as a Living Dead; I predicted that the Feng Family would give me a grand burial—they are always so hypocritical."

"I guessed right; the Feng Family members are just that hypocritical. It is just that the aftereffects of this medicine were a bit great, and I slept for two years before waking up and crawling out of the grave."

"But what I did not expect was that by the time I crawled out, things had already changed and people were no longer the same!"

"Does Lord Shen know what I saw?"

With a cold smile, Xue Muchen's gaze became icy, and killing intent seeped out from his body.

"I saw my wife, children, and grandchildren all die miserably on the streets, and my granddaughter sold to a Brothel and bullied to death. Two years, only two years, and all my relatives were gone!"

"All of this was done secretly by the Feng Family members. Although it was only done by ordinary Feng Family members, I do not believe the high-level members of the Feng Family did not know, yet they turned a blind eye to it."

"I made so many contributions to the Feng Family, and this is how they treated me. Do you know how much I hated them at that time? I wished I could have uprooted the Feng Family right then and there!"

"Understood!" Once Xue Muchen said this, Shen Yu understood completely.

Regarding Xue Muchen's personality, to put it bluntly, it was arrogant and conceited. Even now, mentioning the Feng Family brings a look of disdain to his face.

It is estimated that when he was in the Feng Family, he was also looking down on the Feng Family's pharmacists in all sorts of ways, and even looking down on the Feng Family members; that haughty nature likely offended countless people.

When he was in his prime, naturally no one dared to provoke him, and everyone would smile at him.

But later, when he died, the humiliation the Feng Family members had suffered before naturally had to be repaid tenfold or hundredfold on his family.

In the end, this was still self-inflicted. Once Xue Muchen died, the Feng Family members began to settle scores.

At first, the Feng Family naturally had to put on a show, letting everyone know that their Feng Family would absolutely not treat anyone unfairly, giving Xue Muchen a grand burial.

After the limelight passed and no one was paying attention, some people began to have their own little schemes.

The high-level members of the Feng Family naturally would not do such low-class things; Xue Muchen was dead, so he was dead, and there was no need to take action against his family, but the lower-level Feng Family members did not think so.

It is just that what the Feng Family did was indeed a bit excessive; after all, the man had made contributions. The ordinary clansmen might not know, but did the high-level members of the Feng Family not know?

It is obvious they were playing dumb while knowing the truth. This fellow likely gave the high-level members of the Feng Family plenty of cold shoulders, no wonder people took revenge afterward.

"I knew they were ruthless, but I did not expect them to be this ruthless!"

"They killed me in the end, and I did not resent them. Because I knew that no matter who it was, they would do the same; the medicinal formula for the Living Dead must be kept in one's own hands and cannot be known by outsiders—this is human nature."

"But they should not have been so ruthless, so extreme! From that day on, I made up my mind to take revenge on the Feng Family; I want them to pay the price!"

"But I am only a physician; even after becoming a Living Dead, I could not kill many Feng Family members at all. Afterward, there was also the possibility of them finding out."

"Therefore, I started with the weakest people. And I knew that there was one person in the Feng Family most suitable. A behemoth like the Feng Family can only be broken from the inside!"

"So you chose Feng Moli?"

"Indeed, it is precisely the Feng Family's Second Master, Feng Moli!"

With a faint smile, a trace of pride appeared on Xue Muchen's face; Feng Moli was his proudest masterpiece. If not for him, how could he have everything he has now.

"I have met this Feng Family Second Master; I know how he was treated in the Feng Family. I do not believe he has no hatred in his heart!"

"As long as such a person is guided slightly, he can be turned into a blade in my hand. By then, even if I cannot destroy the Feng Family, I will definitely be able to teach them a profound lesson."

"But in fact, Feng Moli was luckier than I had imagined. Do you know, Lord Shen, when I was tailing him, I inadvertently sensed that he seemed to have encountered a treasure."

"It is just that he has never been able to open this place, and he does not know that there has been a pair of eyes watching him from behind all along."

"Therefore, this opportunity that originally belonged to Feng Moli was obtained by me, and I was able to ascend to the heavens in a single step because of it; as for Feng Moli, he became my Chess Piece!"

"After obtaining the inheritance, I thought of using the blood of the Feng Family to activate the Great Array. This is the end they deserve, and it is also what they owe me!"
