Chapter 544: Shengjing, the Ye Clan

~8 min read 1,519 words

After more than half an hour, the Blood Drop Worm beneath the construction worker's skin twisted into a ball and stopped moving. Only then did Chen Yu remove the Silver Needle, take out a Dagger, and slice into the sore on the leg.

The man could not help but cry out in pain; Chen Yu's cut made him feel a heart-piercing agony.

As Chen Yu made the cut, a large amount of black blood gushed from the wound on his leg, and the Blood Drop Worm also melted into a pool of black liquid, flowing out along with the blood.

A full half-minute passed before the black color on his leg gradually turned red, finally becoming the color of fresh blood.

Only then did Chen Yu take out the Golden Sore Medicine to stop the bleeding and bandage him. The effect of his Golden Sore Medicine was excellent; less than a few minutes after being applied, the wound healed at an extremely fast speed.

"How do you feel?" Chen Yu asked.

"A little itchy," the man said somewhat uncertainly.

"That is the situation of your wound healing and the muscle Regeneration. Rest assured, there will be no issues." Chen Yu took out another bottle: "Dissolve the medicinal powder inside this in warm water and clean the wound twice a day. Although the Blood Drop Worm has been removed, the venom it left in your wound has not been cleared; it will take ten days."

"In addition, take medicine according to this prescription to thoroughly clear the damp-cold poison from your body. Once the wound heals, you will be fine," Chen Yu said.

"Thank you, Master Chen." The couple was overjoyed. Originally, they had already despaired, but they never expected to encounter Chen Yu. Although Chen Yu did not look very old, his medical skills were so formidable; the two of them were truly fortunate.

After giving them some precautions, the two left happily.

"I am not as good as you." After the two left, Fan Lao's tone toward Chen Yu finally softened.

This old man was originally very proud; what he was most confident in was his own medical skills. But now that he had been surpassed by Chen Yu, he was not angry at all; instead, he directly admitted that his medical skills were inferior to Chen Yu's. This was something an ordinary person truly could not do.

"Fan Lao is joking; I was just lucky," Chen Yu smiled.

"It was not luck. Clearing out a Blood Drop Worm is not difficult; I also have a way to clear it. But I have no way to handle the aftermath, because the toxins of this kind of worm left in the human body are basically impossible to clear," Fan Lao shook his head and said: "So I can only amputate; there is no other method."

"But for you, these things seem to be a trivial matter. This is where your brilliance lies. I admire you, I truly admire you."

Chen Yu smiled. This old man had a sharp eye and was not pretentious; he was indeed a man of true character.

"What exactly is your purpose in asking about the Witch Clan?" Fan Lao suddenly asked.

"Wuming of the Witch Clan colluded with people from outside the Domain to harm the pillars of talent of our Huaxia," Chen Yu said grimly: "I am looking for him to settle this account with him properly."

"Wuming..." A strange look flashed across Fan Lao's face. He sighed and said: "In the end, he still walked down that path."

"You know Wuming?" Chen Yu was startled. Listening to the old man's tone, it seemed his relationship with Wuming was not ordinary.

"More than just know him. The Witch Clan is also my ancestral home; in fact, I am also a member of the Witch Clan." Fan Lao rolled up his sleeve, revealing the Witch Clan mark on his wrist.

Chen Yu had noticed this mark when he first arrived, but he just hadn't brought it up. Now that Fan Lao had taken the initiative to say it himself, it seemed he was going to show his cards to Chen Yu.

"You are also a member of the Witch Clan?" Chen Yu looked at Fan Lao: "Fan Lao is a man with a story."

"A story is not the word for it. Originally, the person who should have inherited the position of Witch Clan leader was me." Fan Lao's words shocked Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was taken aback. He had previously only known that Fan Lao had a connection to the Witch Clan, but he had not expected Fan Lao to be a core figure of the Witch Clan.

"Fan Lao... I do not know what your relationship with Wuming is like, but Wuming himself has violated the ancestral teachings of the Witch Clan and is insane. Any hot-blooded person in Huaxia should execute him. I only ask that Fan Lao point the way for me," Chen Yu paused and said.

"After the Ancient God war in antiquity, the Witch Clan was banished to the bitter cold land of Jiuli." Fan Lao was silent for a long time: "That place was called the 'Land of No Owner' at the time, a place that never saw sunlight, where poisonous insects ran rampant at night and Miasma swirled in the morning."

"The clansmen suffered unspeakably. Fortunately, the descendants of the clan realized the profound mysteries and created the Gu Technique lineage, living by controlling Gu. Only then did the clansmen escape the fire and water. This person is called the 'Gu Ancestor' by the descendants of the Witch Clan. The Gu Technique lineage has a long heritage, and it has been a thousand years until today."

"The Land of No Owner where we were banished back then is now the Sacred Land of the Gu Clan, which no one but the clan leader may enter. And our Witch Clan lineage lives in the deep mountains and secluded valleys. This place is named 'Ten Thousand Gu Valley'. Even in modern times, we have had little contact with the outside world."

"We still live by worshipping the Gu Ancestor and by hunting and farming. The clansmen are not as sinister and vicious as the world imagines. As for Wuming..." Speaking of this, Fan Lao shook his head and stopped talking.

"Fan Lao, where is Ten Thousand Gu Valley? And where is Wuming?" Chen Yu asked.

"Ten Thousand Gu Valley is a name from a long time ago; now this place is called 'Ghost Butterfly Valley'. In fact, most of the people inside are ordinary people. Only a few who have awakened the Witch Clan bloodline know how to control Gu. Wuming is the clan leader and usually stays in the Sacred Land of the Gu Clan."

Fan Lao took out a map and tossed it to Chen Yu, "But Wuming's conduct over these years has already violated the ancestral teachings of the Witch Clan; he deserves to be taught a lesson. But remember, do not make things difficult for the Witch Clan members; most of them are kind-hearted, ordinary people."

"I understand, thank you, Fan Lao." Chen Yu took the map and glanced at it. He saw that the map was of a certain mountainous area in Ning City, with one spot marked in red ink.

That place was Ten Thousand Gu Valley. It was located in the middle of countless Mountains; the location was very remote. There were no roads leading directly there, and it was surrounded by mountains, making it a very difficult place to find.

Bidding farewell to Fan Lao, Chen Yu turned and left. Originally, he had intended to ask about the relationship between Fan Lao and the Witch Clan.

But Chen Yu thought that since he had been living here under an assumed name for all these years, he must not want to be disturbed, so he did not ask any further.

Just as Chen Yu stepped away, an off-road vehicle pulled up.

As the car door opened, an extremely beautiful young woman walked over, accompanied by a middle-aged man.

Chen Yu was no stranger to this woman; she was Ye Qingning, whom the other party had introduced when he was eating with Wu Zhangjiang last time.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a long robe, looking very much like some kind of Feng Shui master, and his own aura of Mysterious Arts was also very heavy.

However, he was very respectful toward Ye Qingning. After opening the car door and waiting for Ye Qingning to get out, he said respectfully: "Miss Ye, this old gentleman, Fan Lao, is a Miao Medicine practitioner. It is said that he knows the specific location of the place we are going to."

"I hope we can ask something from here." Ye Qingning glanced at the antique-style small building and then walked inside.

"Shengjing Ye Clan, Ye Qingning, requests an audience with Fan Lao. I apologize for the intrusion, and I hope Fan Lao will forgive me." After entering the door, Ye Qingning bowed, her tone respectful.
