Chapter 69 Eagle Castle

"Xuefeng pays his respects to Master Yin."

Shen Xuefeng dismounted and saluted Yin Daoyan respectfully, his face full of surprise.

"Master Yin, you are finally here. Sky Eagle Castle is saved."

Yin Daoyan also lifted the curtain of the carriage and frowned slightly as he looked at Shen Xuefeng who bowed.

"That old man Shen Hongyu didn't come to pick me up. It seems that something really big has happened to your Shen family. Lead the way."

Shen Xuefeng nodded and immediately led the way. The carriage quickly drove into Sky Eagle Castle.

After observing all the way, Zhong Lin finally understood what a noble family was.

The ground is paved with marble and there are flower beds around it. It is early winter now, but the flower beds are filled with the fragrance of flowers. I don’t know what means were used.

A huge lake was dug in the center, with water from the mountains flowing in, and fish swimming in it, looking extremely happy.

As for the pavilions and towers, they are even more magnificent with high eaves and intrigues.

"As expected of a powerful local tyrant, they are indeed extravagant. Compared with them, the Du family is simply a country bumpkin." Zhong Lin sighed in his heart.

Zhong Lin just glanced at these, and what amazed him most were the warriors in the Sky Eagle Castle.

The protection along the way was extremely tight, with groups of warriors patrolling there, and an eagle standing on the shoulder of the leader in front.

"Something's not right!"

Mei Weixuan whispered, "The Shen family is a formidable clan in Wuling County, like a local tyrant. We've never heard of any martial arts masters around here, so why is Sky Eagle Fort so heavily guarded?"

"It's better to be careful, Brother Mei. If anything unexpected happens, please take good care of my brother." Zhong Lin pleaded.

"Don't worry, even if there is really a problem with Sky Eagle Castle, no one would dare to provoke Master Yin, unless they are tired of living." Mei Weixuan said confidently.

A group of people got off the carriage, and Zhong Lin walked behind them holding Xiao Shitou.

Although Shen Xuefeng was curious about why there was a child among Yin Daoyan's group, he didn't say much.

Led by Shen Xuefeng, everyone entered the main residence of Tianying Fort, and then an old man with white hair and beard came over with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

This old man also had a hooked nose and a pair of extremely sharp eyes that felt like needles pricking people. His whole body was filled with a domineering aura, just like the huge eagle statue in the square just before entering the mansion.

"Brother Yin, I've finally got you here."

This person is Shen Hongyu, the lord of Tianying Fort, a martial arts expert at the third level of the Inner Breathing Realm. His pair of "Eagle Claw Hands" have torn countless enemies into pieces.

"Brother Shen, what happened that made you call me here in such a hurry?"

"Brother, come with me and you will know it at a glance."

After saying that, he pulled Yin Daoyan towards the inner hall. Soon they entered a room. There were several people occupying the room, probably all from the Shen family.

There was also incense burning in the room, and I didn't know what it was made of, but it made people feel refreshed when they smelled it.

"Get out of the way."

Shen Hongyu scolded those people.

"Brother Yin, this is Xue Xin. My second son contracted a strange illness a month ago. He was just sleepy at first, but then he fell into a coma. No matter what I do, he shows no signs of waking up."

"It's not just him. There are thirteen other people in this castle who have the same strange disease. They all have the same symptoms, and there are no other symptoms."

Shen Hongyu introduced Shen Xuexin's condition in detail and quickly.

Yin Daoyan frowned, stepped forward and carefully felt Shen Xuexin's pulse, then looked at his eyeballs and lips.

"Have you seen any other doctors?"

Yin Daoyan asked. "I've looked for doctors in Wuling County, every famous doctor has come to me, but they can't find anything. I'm desperate and have come to you, brother."

"And why is this strange disease spreading? Half a month ago, no one else was sick except my son, but then thirteen people showed up with the same symptoms as my son. Now the whole Sky Eagle Castle is in a panic. Please, Brother Yin, help us!"

Shen Hongyu's tone revealed a hint of anxiety. His son hadn't woken up for a whole month, and strange diseases broke out frequently in Tianying Castle. As the castle lord, he was under great pressure.

"No rush, where are the other patients?"

"Brother, please follow me."

Shen Hongyu led everyone to another room.

Compared to the bedroom where his second son Shen Xuexin stayed, the one in front of him was more like a prison, strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

After Yin Daoyan entered, he did not hold back and carefully examined every patient without missing a single one.

"Brother, can you tell what the cause of the disease is?" Shen Xuexin asked anxiously.

"I can see a little bit, but I'm afraid this disease is a bit complicated!"

Shen Hongyu was overjoyed when he heard this. What's the big deal about complexity? As long as the cause of the disease is found, there will be a direction. With the power of Tianying Fort, how could he be afraid that he couldn't cure it?

"Let the others step back!"

Yin Daoyan glanced at the people following him and shook his head.

Shen Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and finally seemed to think of something, and a sinister cry rose in his eyes.

"Everyone, get out."

At the command, all the people from the Shen family retreated.

Zhong Lin looked around, then turned around and left with Xiao Shitou.

Zhong Lin’s current position is a painter. The current matter is obviously confidential, so it is better for him not to get involved.

"You don't have to leave, Little Stone. Just go out and take a walk. Don't run too far."

Mei Weixuan held Zhong Lin's shoulder and said something, then gave an order to Xiao Shitou.

"Ok!"

Little Shitou didn't like the depressing atmosphere and walked out of the room with his short legs.

Zhong Lin asked doubtfully, "Isn't it inappropriate for me to stay?"

"Others are not suitable, but you are. Don't worry about Little Stone. Someone will take good care of him."

Zhong Lin wanted to say something else, but Shen Hongyu, with a serious expression, said in a deep voice, "Brother Yin, I have dismissed the attendants. Please tell me what this disease is."

Yin Daoyan glanced at Shen Hongyu and then said, "I think you have guessed it. This is not a disease, but a poison. Someone is poisoning your Sky Eagle Castle."

There was no shock on Shen Hongyu's face. Instead, he was extremely calm, but a murderous aura emanated from his body.

"Great! That's great! I haven't taken action in over a decade. I really thought I had become a toothless tiger."

Shen Hongyu did not doubt Yin Daoyan's ability. If he said he was poisoned, then it must be poisoning.

"Brother Yin, is there a cure for this poison?"

Yin Daoyan shook his head and said, "This is a mixed poison, very tricky. We must understand the exact nature of the poison before we can formulate an antidote. This will take time. Although this mixed poison is not immediately fatal, once it takes effect, it will penetrate deep into the internal organs. After a long time, even a god cannot save the patient."

Shen Hongyu bowed deeply and said earnestly, "Please, brother, save my son. I will be very grateful."

　Thanks to "08a" for the 400 coins reward, thanks to "Xuanqiongshangshengzhiming" for the 300 coins reward, thanks to "Xianyunbu" for the 100 coins reward, thanks to "a heart that wants to eat meat" for the 500 coins reward
