My Ares Son-in-Law

Shen Huo has a very high status and prestige in the Oracle Sect, and is the backbone and mainstay of their lineage.

If his father died, their lineage would lose its most important support and would definitely decline. There would be no good days ahead. If things went wrong, their former competitors would take advantage of the opportunity to swallow them up. At that time, their lineage would completely decline and become a laughing stock in the world.

Elder Xue slowly straightened up, his face full of solemnity, he sighed softly, and said earnestly:
"Your father was already poisoned, and the poison was like a demon hiding in the dark, quietly wreaking havoc in his body. Now he forcefully fought with others and was severely injured, which is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

The fierce fight caused the toxin to spread rapidly into the heart veins like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. The heart veins are the most critical part of the human body. Once eroded by toxins, the condition will deteriorate greatly. If effective treatment is not obtained quickly, I am afraid that I will not survive today."

His voice was low and heavy, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Shen Qiang's heart.

Hearing what Master Xue said, Shen Qiang's face turned pale instantly, as if he was hit by a bolt from the blue.

His eyes were filled with fear and despair, his lips trembled slightly, and he said anxiously: "Master Xue, please help us! We originally planned to go to the Beijing Medical Alliance for treatment as soon as the Eastern Martial Arts Conference was over.

There gathered many medical experts from all over the world, and we thought that with their medical skills, they would be able to cure my father's illness.

But who knew something like this would happen? Time is running out, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time." There was a hint of pleading in his voice, as if he was grasping at the last straw.

Elder Xue sighed again, shook his head and said, "There are indeed many talented people in the Medical Alliance, and they have profound attainments in secular medicine. But after all, it is only secular medicine. For such a complex and serious poison, whether it can be cured is still another matter.

Even if they have the ability to treat it, it is too late now. The poison is already wreaking havoc in the heart veins, and every minute and every second is crucial. Unfortunately, my ability is limited, and I am afraid I can't cure this poison!"

His tone was full of helplessness and regret.

"No hope?" Shen Huo's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, and his expression changed drastically. His eyes revealed disbelief and deep fear. Was he really going to die like this?

He had traveled extensively throughout his life, experienced countless hardships and challenges, and never thought that his life would end in this way.

Shen Qiang was even more anxious. He tightly grasped Xue Lao's sleeve and said in a tearful voice, "Xue Lao, you can't make such a rash statement! My father still needs to keep his useful body. He is the backbone of our Oracle Sect, and there are still many things waiting for him to do. Please think of a solution. There must be a way."

His body was trembling slightly, like a leaf shivering in the cold wind.

Elder Xue looked at Shen Qiang's anxious look, sighed again, and said slowly: "I only said that I can't cure it, but there are people who can. At least, I know one person. This person's medical skills are unfathomable, far better than mine. If you can ask him to help, maybe your father still has a chance of survival."

There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Who?" Shen Qiang's voice seemed to be pulled sharp and urgent by an invisible hand, and he asked again. At this moment, his tone seemed to be filled with burning anxiety and urgency, and that energy seemed to be able to ignite the air. His eyes were round, like two black beads, staring at Xue Lao without blinking, and his eyes were full of desire, as if Xue Lao was the life-saving straw he was waiting for in the vast darkness, and as long as Xue Lao opened his mouth, he could pull him up from the endless abyss.

Shen Huo and Shen Qiang, the two of them seemed to be nailed to the spot, staring blankly at Xue Lao. Before this, their hearts had already sunk like lead blocks into the bottomless abyss of despair.

But at this moment, the vague possibility of hope revealed in Old Xue's words was like a spring breeze, which made their originally dead hearts come alive again, and endless expectations instantly rose in their hearts.

Their eyes sparkled with a light as firm as the North Star in the cold night. In that light was a strong attachment to life and an unyielding commitment to hope in the darkness.

"Alas!" Xue Lao's sigh seemed to be squeezed out from the deepest part of his chest, long and heavy. There was a trace of helplessness and regret in his voice, as if it carried countless pasts and vicissitudes.

"I'd better not say anything. It will only cause more trouble. Even if I tell you about this person, you probably won't be able to invite him. Why waste your time?"

"Oh, Mr. Xue, you're making me so anxious!" Shen Qiang was so anxious that he kept stomping his feet on the ground. Every stomp of his feet seemed to vent the unbearable torment in his heart.

At this moment, this unresolved state was like being in a hot oil pan. Every moment of waiting was like countless needles pricking his nerves, consuming his life bit by bit.

"Why don't you just say it out!" Shen Qiang begged Elder Xue almost in tears. His eyes were wide open with a pleading look, and there was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice. "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we are willing to do it no matter what the cost!"

Shen Huo took a deep breath, and that breath seemed to gather all the power around him into his body. His eyes revealed a kind of determination and firmness, like a warrior about to rush to the battlefield, with no intention of retreating.

"Qiang'er, you don't have to embarrass Mr. Xue. I think I already know who he is talking about." His eyes were as deep as a dark pool, as if they could penetrate the barriers of time and space and directly see the person who could save his life.

When Xue Lao heard this, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, and that surprise was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, fleeting.

He first glanced at Xiao Chen, his eyes seemed to contain some unspeakable meaning, then slowly turned to Shen Huo, with a bit of curiosity and confusion in his tone, and asked: "Do you know?"

Shen Huo nodded solemnly, his expression dignified and serious, as if he was making a solemn declaration:

"There are perhaps only three people in this world who can cure my illness. The first one is the current acting leader of the Medical Alliance, Ouyang Xue. I heard that her medical skills are extraordinary and even surpass those of the former leader of the Medical Alliance.

Unfortunately, she is far away in the capital. The distance is like a natural chasm, and distant water cannot quench nearby thirst. Moreover, even if there is enough time, she may not help us because of the long-standing prejudice of the Medical Alliance against our Oracle Sect. "(End of this chapter)
