CHAPTER 728: CHAPTER 595: RETRIBUTION COMES FOR THE WICKED

When Elder Ying, accompanied by Xue Pianran with a changed face, appeared at the Prince Manor, Chen Tuo and his wife, who had been anxiously sleepless for days, hurried to greet them.

Chen Tuo had already learned of Elder Ying’s identity from the letter.

People from the Three Sects, how prestigious their identities.

Elder Ying immediately checked Chen Mu’s condition.

This examination drastically changed Elder Ying’s expression.

"In recent times, with whom did Heir Chen exchange blows? How did he sustain such severe internal injuries?"

Elder Ying’s medical skills were indeed extraordinary; she could discern illnesses that others could not even after just one examination.

"Internal injuries? That’s impossible. My son returned this time to attend His Majesty’s palace banquet, he hasn’t fought with anyone, so how could he have sustained internal injuries?" Both Chen Tuo and Princess Chen wore faces of bafflement.

Moreover, ordinary internal injuries, which typically affect the internal organs, would have been identified by doctors and alchemists, and nobody had mentioned that Chen Mu had sustained internal injuries before.

"Ordinary internal injuries affect the viscera. However, the person who attacked Heir Chen this time was extremely cunning, tampering inside his Dantian. Internal injuries in the Dantian are rare; across the entire mainland, the number of people who can detect injuries in the Dantian can be counted on one’s fingers." Not only were Chen Tuo and his wife shocked, so was Elder Ying.

If it weren’t for the time she accompanied the Yaochi Pavilion Master and encountered a disciple who also had a Dantian injury, she might have been deceived as well.

Upon hearing this, Princess Chen immediately burst into loud wails.

"Hold on, if it’s said that my son really did exchange blows with someone, there is only one person, that is Prince Feng, I mean, Feng Xun who was just driven out of Feng Residence." Although Chen Tuo was also worried about Chen Mu’s injury, he was somewhat calmer. After a brief recall, he remembered that his son seemed to have started lying in bed after returning drunk from the palace banquet.

After sleeping for several days, he woke up and became like this.

"Feng Xun doesn’t know martial arts, this matter, it definitely has nothing to do with him."

Hearing this, Xue Pianran impulsively blurted out in urgency.

Elder Ying glanced at Xue Pianran, thinking that this maid was too impulsive.

Seeing a young maid daring to interrupt his speech, Chen Tuo was indignant inside, but he had to restrain himself as Elder Ying was a person from the Three Sects and an old acquaintance of Great Elder Chang Luo.

"What this young lady said is not wrong, it shouldn’t be Prince Feng, he knows at most a few Martial Arts stances. My son’s strength is among the top in the younger generation of Beiqing, let alone injuring him, Prince Feng might not even be able to touch the hem of his robe."

Having said that, Chen Tuo himself also felt that it was unlikely to be Feng Xun.

Listening on the side, Xue Pianran was somewhat annoyed, really wanting to persuade Elder Ying not to treat Chen Tuo.

Kaijiang Prince Manor and Feng Residence have always been at odds, and Xue Pianran, sympathizing out of association, also disliked Kaijiang Prince Manor.

But given that Chen Mu was the proud disciple of her biological father, Great Elder Chang Luo, and hearing Elder Ying’s implication that Chen Mu was very likely to inherit the position of Great Elder, Elder Ying, for the sake of her old lover, had to help no matter what.

"Elder Ying, do you have a way to heal my son’s Dantian injury?"

Chen Tuo couldn’t figure out who had harmed his son, but for now, the most important thing was to heal Chen Mu first.

Chen Minzhi was already dead, and if anything more happened to Chen Mu, he would truly be left without a direct descendant.

"Originally, the injury to the Dantian wasn’t difficult to heal, but the trouble is that Heir Chen must have drunk a large amount of alcohol earlier. Alcohol, especially when brewed with a high amount of tonics, tends to exacerbate internal injuries. Now, the Primordial Power in Heir Chen’s Dantian is chaotic, nearly causing his entire Dantian to explode. If we don’t find a solution soon, he will definitely experience Deviation, and at that point, even his sanity might be affected, turning him into an imbecile."

Elder Ying’s words struck Chen Tuo and his wife like a bolt of lightning.

Chen Tuo’s eyes reddened with anger.

"Feng Xun, it’s all that fiend Feng Xun’s doing, he made my son drink a lot of strong alcohol. Could it be that my son’s injury is truly related to him!"

Ever since Feng Lan regained consciousness, Chen Tuo had been neglected by Emperor Beiqing; just yesterday, Emperor Beiqing even hinted that Chen Tuo should relinquish military power back to Feng Lan.

Now, his own son was also rendered this way because of Feng Lan’s son.

The old and new generations’ grievances intertwined, almost making Chen Tuo grind his teeth in fury. The father and son of the Feng Family were nothing short of a nightmare for the Kaijiang Prince Manor.

"Eight or nine out of ten, it’s related to them. King Kaijiang, at this point, there is only one way to save the Heir, which is to find a way to channel the Primordial Power in the Heir’s Dantian. However, doing so would reduce the Heir’s cultivation by at least thirty percent or more. Moreover, even if healed, the Heir’s cultivation in this life can only stay within the Reincarnation Realm. I’m not sure if you are willing to accept this treatment method?" Elder Ying was not very interested in the grudge between Feng Residence and Kaijiang Prince Manor; her only concern was healing Chen Mu.

A drop of thirty percent in cultivation meant that it would bring Chen Mu from the Reincarnation Fourth Path directly down to the Reincarnation Second or Third Path, making it even more impossible for him to break through the Reincarnation Realm in this lifetime. To Chen Tuo, who had high hopes for Chen Mu from a young age, this was a bolt out of the blue.

His face seemed to age quite a bit in an instant, and his body couldn’t help but tremble.

"Elder Ying, is there really no other way?"

Elder Ying was a bit impatient now. If it weren’t for the old affection’s sake, she wouldn’t even bother to exert so much effort.

After all, healing an internal injury in the Dantian wasn’t easy, and it would greatly deplete her own Primordial Qi. She wouldn’t be able to recklessly use Primordial Power for at least a month.

But fortunately, with Xue Pianran’s situation, she could sustain for a month. Elder Ying planned to capture Ye Lingyue after Chen Mu’s injuries were healed.

"This is the only way, to heal or not, the decision is yours."

At this moment, Chen Mu on the bed vomited several mouthfuls of black blood again, making Chen Tuo and his wife’s hearts shatter.

Thinking that although his son’s cultivation could only remain at the Reincarnation Realm, at least his life was saved and he wouldn’t become an idiot, Chen Tuo eventually nodded his head with difficulty.

After a day and night of treatment, Chen Mu finally regained consciousness.

When he awakened and learned that his Dantian was permanently severely damaged due to his excessive drinking, and that he could never break through the Reincarnation Realm again, he was so furious that he vomited another mouthful of blood.

"Feng Xun, you wronged me. I, Chen Mu, swear that I will make you pay back the suffering I endured today tenfold, a hundredfold!" Chen Mu did not know why Feng Xun would frame him like this. If he knew it was because of his lustful intentions towards Ye Lingyue, Chen Mu in this lifetime would probably never dare harbor any inappropriate thoughts toward Ye Lingyue again.

But Chen Mu was determined not to give up until he hit the Yellow River; he loathed Feng Xun to the bone. At this moment, not only did he seek revenge on Feng Xun, but he also wanted to take everything, including Feng Xun’s beloved, Ye Lingyue, for himself!
