CHAPTER 408: IS CHU XINGHE FINALLY GOING TO MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF?

Senior Brother Chen Xuewang's words gave Luo Ying'er new hope.

Poison Sovereign Ji Changfeng, a legendary figure. Even though the Heavenly Medicine Palace is formidable, they are helpless against Ji Changfeng's arrival.

Ji Changfeng is notoriously ruthless. Once he sets his sights on Luo Ying'er, he won't back down easily.

What? You think Ji Changfeng's way of demanding disciples through competition is unreasonable?

Ji Changfeng has done countless unreasonable things. Compared to his past actions, this incident with Luo Ying'er is quite reasonable.

He hasn't poisoned the entire Heavenly Medicine Palace yet, so why say he's unreasonable?

With Chen Xuewang speaking up, the elders of the Heavenly Medicine Palace also had their eyes light up.

Ji Changfeng is a complex character, neither wholly righteous nor evil, different from the shameless Demonic Sect. He keeps his word.

This time, Ji Changfeng declared that if anyone could defeat him, he would no longer pursue Luo Ying'er.

Since he said it, it must be true.

But Ji Changfeng's strength is undeniable.

Throughout the Heavenly Medicine Palace, even Palace Master Wu Qun has no chance of defeating Ji Changfeng.

Poison and medicine share the same roots, and Ji Changfeng is unmatched in poison arts. Even if Wu Qun risked his life, he couldn't protect Luo Ying'er.

If there's anyone in the world who could suppress Ji Changfeng, it might only be Chu Xinghe, the heir of the Medicine Saint.

Although Wu Qun doesn't know how much Chu Xinghe has comprehended from the Medicine Saint's inheritance, it's at least a glimmer of hope.

However, Wu Qun is also worried... Chu Xinghe is indeed the heir of the Medicine Saint.

If Chu Xinghe has fully comprehended the Medicine Saint's inheritance, there's no need to say more. Not only Ji Changfeng, but even his master, the old monster known as the Poison Saint, wouldn't be a match for Chu Xinghe if he were resurrected.

After all, the Poison Saint and the Medicine Saint Lu Changfeng were figures of the same era.

The Poison Saint challenged Lu Changfeng three times and was defeated by him three times.

Even the Poison Saint of that time wasn't a match for the Medicine Saint. If Chu Xinghe fully comprehends the Medicine Saint's inheritance, wouldn't he crush Ji Changfeng, the Poison Sovereign, into the ground? ŗ𝓪ƝóᛒЕꞨ

But the question is, how long has it been since Chu Xinghe received the Medicine Saint's inheritance?

Even though Wu Qun knows Chu Xinghe is extraordinarily talented, he doesn't believe Chu Xinghe has fully comprehended the Medicine Saint's inheritance.

So, this situation presents a problem.

Will Chu Xinghe step in for the Heavenly Medicine Palace?

It's important to know that stepping in isn't just a simple competition.

If Chu Xinghe really steps in, it would be the first showdown between medicine and poison in four hundred years.

It would undoubtedly attract the attention of the entire world.

If Chu Xinghe wins, that's one thing. But if he loses... it would be a huge blow to his reputation, not just for Chu Xinghe, but possibly for the entire Grand Sky Sect.

So, in this situation, will Chu Xinghe really step in to help them?

Although uncertain, Wu Qun knows there's no other way. To protect Luo Ying'er, the only path is through the Grand Sky Sect.

Without much hesitation, even though he was severely injured, Wu Qun personally took Luo Ying'er and activated the teleportation array to head to the Grand Sky Sect.

At the Grand Sky Sect... these past two days, Chu Xinghe has been on edge...

Could Wan Lin's ridiculous charm technique cause some strange reaction?

Could it really make demonic beasts controllable...

Wan Lin, oh Wan Lin, Senior Brother Xinghe once saved your entire family. You can't repay kindness with ingratitude like Ma Liang and the others.

I've finally had a couple of pleasant days. Please let me enjoy a bit longer, okay?

As it turns out, fate seemed to have turned a blind eye this time. Wan Lin's charm technique was indeed an exception. Although she could control demonic beasts with it, nothing else strange developed from it.

Just as Chu Xinghe was feeling grateful that fate had finally smiled upon him, Senior Brother Shen Chun suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Junior Brother Xinghe... the Great Elder is looking for you, something's happened!"

Seeing Senior Brother Shen Chun, Chu Xinghe felt a jolt in his heart.

"Senior Brother Shen Chun, just tell me if it's good news or bad news!"

"This time, I'm afraid it's bad news!"

Hearing the words "bad news," Chu Xinghe initially wanted to get excited, but he quickly calmed down.

Senior Brother Shen Chun was always elusive, and when it came to distinguishing between good and bad news, he never really got it right.

So it's better to ask clearly...

Soon, from Senior Brother Shen Chun's mouth, Chu Xinghe finally understood what was going on!

What? The Heavenly Medicine Palace is in trouble?

Wu Qun brought the Little Squirrel from the Heavenly Medicine Palace to the Grand Sky Sect for help?

It's related to Poison Sovereign Ji Changfeng?

Senior Brother Shen Chun wasn't wrong; this really is bad news, but for me, this bad news isn't bad at all.

Following Senior Brother Shen Chun to the Spirit Crane Palace, the area outside the Great Elder's room was already crowded with disciples from the Spirit Crane Palace.

The news of Wu Qun bringing disciple Luo Ying'er to seek help couldn't be hidden.

By now, the entire Spirit Crane Palace was aware of what had happened.

The matter of Poison Sovereign Ji Changfeng publicly challenging the Heavenly Medicine Palace was already known, not a secret.

But no one expected Wu Qun to come to the Grand Sky Sect for help.

Faced with Wu Qun's plea, the Great Elder was in a difficult position.

Poison Sovereign Ji Changfeng is not only extraordinarily powerful, but his situation is also particularly tricky.

Everyone knows Ji Changfeng is ruthless, with countless people poisoned by him every year.

Yet, Ji Changfeng's ruthlessness hasn't led to him being labeled as part of the Demonic Sect mainly because, besides poisoning, he also saves people.

This Poison Sovereign is known as both righteous and evil because he is ruthless to those who provoke him, wiping out entire families without hesitation, but he also wholeheartedly saves those he finds pleasing.

Over the years, although Ji Changfeng has killed many, even more people on the Blazing Sun Continent have been saved by him.

He's saved both righteous and demonic sect members.

Even the Great Elder, during his younger years of traveling the world, encountered Ji Changfeng and received his treatment and guidance. So, Ji Changfeng is different from the usual Demonic Sect members.

If the Heavenly Medicine Palace were threatened by some Demonic Sect supreme, there wouldn't even need to be a competition. Our Grand Sky Sect could send Sect Master Gu Mingchao, the world's number one Martial God, to reason with him.

If the other party is willing to talk, our Sect Master can reason with him. If not, our Sect Master can resort to physical reasoning!

But dealing with Ji Changfeng is more complicated.

As far as the Great Elder knows, the previous Grand Sky Sect Master, who was Gu Mingchao's master, was once poisoned and needed Ji Changfeng's help to detoxify.

Although the Grand Sky Sect paid Ji Changfeng handsomely for his help, a life-saving favor remains a favor.

Not to mention, just on this point, asking Gu Mingchao to reason with Ji Changfeng is one thing, but resorting to physical reasoning seems a bit unreasonable.

If the Grand Sky Sect really did that, how would the outside world view us?

Ji Changfeng saved your previous Sect Master, and now that Gu Mingchao has become a Martial God, you resort to physical reasoning? Does the Grand Sky Sect have any shame?

So, faced with Wu Qun's plea, the Great Elder was truly in a dilemma.

For anyone else, even Demon Emperor Wu Xingyun, the Grand Sky Sect could suppress them easily.

But not Ji Changfeng. The Grand Sky Sect owes him a favor, and forcing him is not an option.

To help Wu Qun through this crisis, there's only one possibility: let Xinghe step in...

To have a fair competition with Ji Changfeng.

Although the Great Elder hasn't interacted much with Ji Changfeng, he understands him.

This Poison Sovereign, though ruthless, does things openly. If he says he'll wipe out your family, he'll do it... and if he says he wants a competition, he means it.

If Xinghe really steps in to help the Heavenly Medicine Palace and competes with Ji Changfeng, as long as there are no tricks and Xinghe defeats Ji Changfeng openly, Ji Changfeng will definitely keep his word.

He won't touch a hair on Luo Ying'er, even if she blocks his door.

So, a fair competition poses no problem.

But the issue with a fair competition is that others might not know Xinghe's current situation, but the Great Elder does.

Although Xinghe has reached the level of an Eighth Grade Alchemist, if you talk about the Medicine Saint's inheritance, Xinghe has comprehended at most a tenth of it.

Even if Xinghe comprehended a third, the Great Elder could confidently say Xinghe could defeat Ji Changfeng with the Medicine Saint's inheritance.

But with just a tenth, defeating Ji Changfeng is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

After all, Ji Changfeng is a true disciple of the Poison Saint. Even though the Poison Saint lost to the Medicine Saint three times, no one back then thought the Poison Saint was lacking; it was just that Lu Changfeng, the Medicine Saint, was too extraordinary.

Ji Changfeng may not match his master, the Poison Saint, but his prowess in poison arts is unmatched today, showing how terrifying he is.

At this time, asking Xinghe to face Ji Changfeng?

The Great Elder has no confidence.

What? The Great Elder himself?

I may be the world's number one alchemist, but do I not know how much stronger I am than Wu Qun?

The Great Elder also knows that if Xinghe loses to Poison Sovereign Ji Changfeng, it would be a huge blow to Xinghe.

Our Xinghe is so young, and he's not that keen on alchemy. If he loses, what if it dampens his enthusiasm for alchemy even more?

Don't be fooled by the Great Elder's usual stern demeanor towards Wu Qun; they've known each other since they were young and are close friends. Faced with his friend's plea, the Great Elder is in a bind.

On one side is a friend's tearful plea, on the other is Xinghe's reputation... Although the Great Elder's heart leans towards Xinghe, rejecting a friend's plea is also a challenge...

Compared to the Great Elder's dilemma, Chu Xinghe, after hearing everything, was overjoyed.

A year... I've finally made a name for myself!

The hardships and tears of this year will finally be washed away at the end of the year?

The Great Elder's concern about not being able to defeat the Poison Sovereign isn't a problem for Chu Xinghe...

Winning? We have no confidence in that!

But losing... we're definitely losing!

Facing the Poison Sovereign, tell me, how could I not lose!

As long as I lose to Ji Changfeng, how could I not lose!
