Chapter 204: Diagnosis

~8 min read 1,423 words

"Master Long and Liu Dashi are both renowned divine physicians; what is their purpose in doing this?"

Wan Tianhao could not understand it at all.

Lu Tianyu's expression was calm: "Only they themselves know their purpose; we will talk once we find them."

"There is no time to lose, please, Mr. Zhao, bring them over to take a look."

"If the situations of the two are the same, it can basically be confirmed."

Zhao Zhe then took out a communication bead to transmit his voice: "Bring the young lady over immediately, and bring a stick of the incense from the wall."

He then grabbed a stick of burning incense in his hand and snapped it to look, his face turning pale with shock: "This is not burning incense at all, this is Corpse Incense!"

Inside the burning incense was a black substance, not ordinary yellow incense at all.

His face was full of horror: "Pretending to administer medicine using Corpse Poison powder, then suggesting to burn incense using Corpse Incense, and taking blood back to control them like puppets—this is completely Corpse Control Art!"

"These two are singing in harmony to refine people into living corpses!"

He beat his chest and stamped his feet: "If Young Master Lu hadn't pointed this out, we never would have thought of it!"

Wan Tianhao was so angry that his body began to tremble: "I must find them and make them give an explanation."

Zhao Zhe was also gnashing his teeth with hatred: "I really didn't expect them to have such intentions!"

"Young Master Lu, my daughter was also seen by them, and they used the same method, but I didn't think much of it; it is normal for a healer to treat a patient!"

"The most urgent matter is how to save them! They were treated at the same time; according to what Young Master Lu said, if they wait until tomorrow to save them, will it be too late?"

He grabbed Lu Tianyu's arm with a panicked expression: "Young Master Lu, do you have a way?"

He felt very fortunate that he had swallowed his pride and spoken up today; if one more day had passed, his son would have woken up, and they would have acted as if nothing had happened.

Little did they know that a time bomb had already been buried by their side.

Once the son grew up, it might explode at any time and cause heavy damage to the family.

Lu Tianyu nodded: "I do have a way, but I need to resolve the root cause of the poison they were exposed to before."

"Both types of poison must be resolved; I can currently neutralize the poison from the incense and the Corpse Poison powder, but I cannot resolve the other type of poison."

"But once I neutralize the poison on them, Master Long and Liu Dashi will discover it, and I fear you will be in danger here."

Wan Tianhao and Zhao Zhe looked at each other: "In that case, they might be nearby; no, they should be right here in Jiajing Heavenly City!"

"Master Long and Liu Dashi are both Great Vehicle Stage cultivators; should we ask the Great Elder to take action?"

The expressions of the two were incomparably grave.

If these two Great Vehicle Stage cultivators joined forces, wouldn't they be able to destroy the entire Chengzhu Fu and silence everyone here?

They were only Void Refinement Stage cultivators; in the hands of Great Vehicle Stage cultivators, they were like ants, and they would be killed in one move with no chance to resist.

Lu Tianyu nodded: "If you two trust me, you can first notify the elders of your sect."

As they spoke, a *dudu* knocking sound rang out.

Wan Tianhao waved his hand to open the door: "Come in!"

Someone hurriedly carried a bed inside and placed it in front of Zhao Zhe and Wan Tianhao.

Zhao Zhe waved his hand to let the two leave, closed the door, and re-established the barrier, unable to wait to snap the incense to look: "This, it is indeed as Young Master Lu expected."

The young woman on the bed was confused: "Father, Uncle, what is wrong?"

The young woman blinked her eyes and stared at Lu Tianyu, not knowing where her father had invited such an expert from.

This person was so young; no matter how she looked at him, he did not look like an expert.

However, she listened to her father's words and generally would not refute them.

Zhao Zhe shook his head slightly: "I will tell you later; for now, do not speak, and do not tell anyone."

He then looked at Lu Tianyu and asked anxiously: "What should we do?"

At this moment, he pinned all his hopes on Lu Tianyu: "Young Master, you must help us; we will pay any price."

Wan Tianhao said in a pleading tone: "I only have this one son, I beg you, Young Master Lu!"

Lu Tianyu nodded: "Do not be anxious, you two. I would like to ask, where is the forbidden area these two accidentally entered before? Is it far from here?"

Wan Tianhao immediately said: "It is not far from here; it is at a star ring between two planets, where there is a Youlin Shanjian, covered by black mist all year round."

"There are many rare items from the Mingjie inside, and people often go in to collect things."

"Young Master, you mean..."

Lu Tianyu nodded again: "Yes, the poison the two brought back from the forbidden area has mixed with the poison from the two masters; we need to figure out the source of the poison, and it is best to resolve both poisons together."

"There is no time to lose, let us set off now."

In fact, he had hidden some things from Wan Tianhao; he had some selfish motives in this.

Master Long and Liu Dashi would only make their move after the *zi* hour, the moment when the *yin* energy was most concentrated.

The poison the two were afflicted with was a rare poison made from Mantuluo Hua fragrance.

This Mantuluo Hua was an extremely rare medicinal material; he thought that if it was not far away, he could go and retrieve the Mantuluo Hua first, and it would not be too late to come back and detoxify them.

If it were far, it would be too late.

Fortunately, it was not far.

"Good!" Wan Tianhao said immediately, "I will go with Young Master Lu; Zhao Zhe, you guard here just in case."

"The elders of my Tianji Sect will arrive soon; please receive them."

At the same time.

On the edge of the urban area of Jiajing Heavenly City, in an ordinary small courtyard.

Three young men wearing black robes with extraordinary temperaments slowly walked inside.

If Lu Tianyu were here, he would definitely recognize these three; they were the only three remnants of the Netherworld Sect: Zong Xuejun, Ming Tiansuo, and Shen Guangdao.

Amidst a *gzhizhi* sound, the door closed automatically.

The leaves on a pear tree in the center of the courtyard rustled a few times, and a transparent barrier shrouded the entire courtyard.

The three of them walked to a room at the west end simultaneously and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior. We juniors have something to report!"

"Come in!"

Following a deep, resonant voice, the door opened.

Zong Xuejun walked in first and bowed, saying, "Senior Long, the Lu Tianyu I mentioned to you before has arrived at Jiajing Heavenly City."

The gray-robed, long-haired old man who had been closing his eyes suddenly opened them: "He wants to take the Transmission Array?"

Zong Xuejun nodded: "He was invited away by the presiding elder Wan Tianhao, who claimed it was to treat his son or something; he has not left yet."

He said hatefully: "This person shares an irreconcilable hatred with the three of us, so we have come to report to Senior to kill this person!"

"This person is protected by a female cultivator of the Emperor Realm, so we are unable to make a move; we ask for Senior's help!"

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, and Ming Tiansuo and Shen Guangdao knelt down as well.

They had always wanted to kill Lu Tianyu.

But they had all heard that Lu Tianyu had a golden-armored woman protecting his path, and once he encountered danger, this person would appear.

They had no choice but to ask this Senior Long to take action.
