Pang Dahai paused for a while before responding in a deep voice, "Gu poison? So it''s Gu poison. Now that you mention it, I do recall something." Find your next adventure on empire

    A city-level sect leader from the Divine Doctor Sect said, "It is said that the Gu&Poison Sect has a very ancient history within the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Territory, could it be, Master Pang, that this Gu poison is indeed from the Gu&Poison Sect of the Southern Territory?"

    "Exactly!"

    Pang Dahai said somberly, "Although the Gu&Poison Sect is a faction, it has many branches, especially in modern times, where its factional dynamics have become even more complex. Furthermore, the means of the Gu&Poison Sect are said to not be limited to Gu and poison."

    Unable to restrain himself, Lord of Qi asked, "May I dare to ask Master Pang, is the ailment that Cui Yan and the other family heads contracted really Gu poison?"

    "Indeed, it is Gu poison."

    As Pang Dahai spoke, he shook his head with a sigh, "I should have thought of this earlier. I remember back when I was a young man learning medicine, my master, the previous Sect Master of the Divine Doctor Sect, had mentioned it to us, though I did not take it to heart."

    "It wasn''t until Deputy Sect Leader Luo mentioned it that I suddenly remembered," Pang Dahai finished speaking and turned his head to look at Luo Keque, his face showing approval.

    He hadn''t directly called Luo Keque by his name but had referred to him as Deputy Sect Leader, which was evidently a sign of respect, an acknowledgment of Luo Keque.

    Lord of Qi, seeing this, couldn''t help but frown slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his heart. After all, he was the Sect Master of the Divine Doctor Sect of Southern River Region Jiangnan, and Luo Keque was merely the Vice Sect Leader; for the spotlight to be stolen by Luo Keque, how could he be pleased?

    Liang Zhong asked in a low voice, "Lord Qi, does this old man Luo Keque truly have the skill to cure illnesses?"

    Lord of Qi replied coldly, "Don''t be hasty; just watch and wait."

    Suddenly someone asked, "May I dare to ask Master Pang, if you have recognized the Gu poison within the family heads, do you already have a treatment plan?"

    Pang Dahai shook his head and said, "I''m ashamed to say that my medical skills have not reached that level, and I am unable to find a solution."

    "Even Master Pang, you don''t have a way?" Many people in the audience asked in surprise.

    Pang Dahai said with a bitter smile, "To tell you the truth, it''s not only about me. Even if my esteemed master were still alive, he wouldn''t be able to completely eliminate the Gu poison. At most, he could only delay the onset of its effects, and this was something that my master had told us firsthand."

    The crowd was once again greatly shocked, "Is Gu poison really that formidable?"

    Ye Feng slowly said, "You want me to come over there to talk? Master of Pang Sect, your legs are in good working order, so why do you not come here?"

    His words were still courteous. He, the Northern Border Sovereign, was used to others seeking an audience with him, never before having anyone so bold as to demand he walk over to meet them.

    Pang Dahai frowned, his face showing signs of displeasure. After all, as the Chief Sect Leader of the Divine Doctor Sect of the Southern River Region Jiangnan Province, his status was the highest among those present. Personally going over to invite someone would be akin to lowering his own worth, would it not?

    So Pang Dahai remained unmoved. Seeing this, Lord of Qi secretly signaled the young man from the Jiang Family with a glance.

    The young man of the Jiang Family, Jiang Tianhu, slammed the table, sprang to his feet, and called out loudly, "What complete nonsense! This man in the wheelchair, this disabled man, this son-in-law of the Hong Family of Jiangdu, he can cure diseases and remove Gu poison? What a joke!"

    In an instant, the whole hall was stirred, and all eyes were drawn once again to Jiang Tianhu.

    Pang Dahai hurriedly asked, "Tianhu, do you know this person?"

    "I certainly do!"

    Jiang Tianhu snorted coldly, "This man is named Ye Feng, originally the foster son of the Fu Family of Jiangdu. However, due to his arrogant and ignorant nature, he has since been driven out of the Fu Family. Now he is nothing but a worthless son-in-law at the Hong Family of Jiangdu!"

    "The Hong Family of Jiangdu, that Hong Family of Jiangdu?" a representative from the Cui Family asked.

    Jiang Tianhu scoffed, "That Hong Family of Jiangdu is merely a third-rate prestigious family, not even worth mentioning. And this worthless frenzied son-in-law of the Hong Family, some say he can remove Gu poison? Nonsense, this frenzied son-in-law, relying on the support of a Great Grandmaster behind him, has been causing trouble, beating to death my Jiang Family''s elder Jiang Youhe in cold blood.

    His actions are simply outrageous!"

    As his words fell, the room was immediately abuzz, many people''s expressions changed.

    The Jiang Family is one of the Four Great Families of Jiangnan Province, with immense power and influence. To dare to beat an elder of the Jiang Family to death, one had to wonder whether this person was extremely arrogant or foolish to the extreme.

    Seeing this unfold, Lord of Qi also stood up and said, "Master of Pang Sect, I also have something to say about this Mr. Ye Feng in the wheelchair."

    Pang Dahai turned his head and asked, "What would you like to say? Please speak freely."

    Lord of Qi directly pointed to Tang Feng and let out a chuckle, "This person, this disabled man here, his claims of being a divine doctor are utter rubbish!"
