Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

Chen Huo was taken aback upon hearing this.

He never expected it to turn out this way.

The defenses of the ancient martial arts families were not as tight as he had imagined.

Yu Ji and Gu Yingxue were also surprised.

This was completely different from what they had imagined.

Song Shuyue snorted, slightly dissatisfied, and said:

"Take care of the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower matter quickly. When you're done, come back. Don't forget you're the young master of the Goddess Pavilion. You should be in charge of things within the sect, shouldn't you? How can you let an old man like me work like this?"

Chen Huo chuckled, "Aunt Song, you're so well-preserved, you look like you're only around thirty years old. How can you call yourself an elderly person?"

Upon hearing this, Song Shuyue chuckled and said, "You little rascal, you really know how to talk. You'd better watch out from now on. I'll keep an eye on that old geezer from the Wu family for you. You better get on with your business."

"Understood, Aunt Song."

"Alright, that's settled then."

After saying that, Song Shuyue hung up the phone.

Chen Huo frowned.

There's been no news from the Yamamoto family so far, and he can't come up with a solution that satisfies both sides. Obtaining the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower is going to be extremely difficult.

All we can do now is wait.

Once he has refined the Battle Soul Pill and issued a bounty, he will leave Jinzhou City. He cannot wait here indefinitely; he needs to find another way to deal with the crisis facing the Goddess Pavilion.

The Goddess Pavilion has not yet delivered the medicinal herbs.

Chen Huo has other ways to settle this score with the Wu family.

Chen Huo returned to his room and dialed Zhang Xinglin's number.

It rang only twice before the call was disconnected.

About three minutes later, Zhang Xinglin called again.

Chen Huo answered the phone.

"Zhang Xinglin?"

"Um, I wasn't available just now. Is something the matter?"

"You know about the feud between the Wu family and me, right?"

"I know, you want to use me to get revenge on the Wu family?"

"That's right."

Chen Huo nodded, readily admitting it.

Just as he was about to explain his plan, Zhang Xinglin said:

"That's impossible! You have no idea how heavily guarded the Wu family is now since Elder Song killed Wu Shuo!"

Chen Huo frowned slightly upon hearing this.

It's normal for the Wu family to be heavily guarded at this time.

It's not possible to do it now, but it's not impossible in the future.

However, if it's for the future, the plan will need to be adjusted slightly.

Just as Chen Huo's mind was racing, Zhang Xinglin abruptly changed the subject, asking, "Does the bounty you offered before still count?"

Chen Huo's heart skipped a beat, and he said with certainty, "Of course it counts."

Before the Body Tempering Pill was even made, Chen Huo had already offered a reward: whoever could kill Wu Yue would receive two Body Tempering Pills and a chance for him to save him.

It was because of this bounty that Wu Yue was forced to hide like a stray dog, and it was also for this reason that Wu Chengjiang secretly left his family to protect Wu Yue.

Zhang Xinglin's sudden mention of this is definitely because he wants the reward.

Chen Huo, however, had some doubts.

Why did he say the Wu family was heavily guarded before, and now he wants the bounty? There's a contradiction in his words.

"If I kill Wu Yue, I don't need your help once. Give me four Body Tempering Pills. That's not an unreasonable request, is it?" Zhang Xinglin said in a low voice.

Although he tried his best to hide it, Chen Huo still heard the expectation and tension in his voice. Four Body Tempering Pills were nothing to him, so he agreed.

"It's not excessive, as long as you can do it."

After saying that, Chen Huo changed the subject, saying, "But I'm curious, didn't you say before that the Wu family was heavily guarded? Why do you suddenly want to kill Wu Yue and collect the bounty?"

"Because Wu Yue is ruthless, and isn't Wu Chengjiang the one you most want to kill? He severely injured you, while Wu Yue didn't hurt you," Zhang Xinglin said with a hint of doubt.

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo suddenly realized and snorted, "Wu Chengjiang really knows how to pat himself on the back. He would have needed an opportunity to seriously injure me."

He was indeed injured by Wu Chengjiang at that time.

However, it wasn't a serious injury, but rather a minor, insignificant one.

Even if Gong Jinghan hadn't appeared in time, it wouldn't have been easy to seriously injure him after he took the Yanji Guiyuan Pill. Clearly, Wu Chengjiang lied to save face.

After all, he had been slapped across the face by Gong Jinghan and lost all face.

You have to say something that benefits yourself.

Zhang Xinglin understood immediately upon hearing this.

He scoffed, "As expected, not a single word from the Wu family is true!"

"Putting that aside, there's another question. How can you be so sure that I'll give you the Body Tempering Pill after you kill Wu Yue, and that I won't go back on my word?" Chen Huo asked with interest.

He had traded the formula for the Flame Extreme Returning Origin Pill for Zhang Xinglin's Azure Cleansing Marrow Fruit, which, to some extent, was a deception of Zhang Xinglin. Yet now Zhang Xinglin still believed him.

Zhang Xinglin was a smart man, and he immediately understood Chen Huo's meaning.

"Back then, you tricked me out of my Azure Cleansing Fruit with the recipe for the Flame Extreme Returning Origin Pill. No, it can't be called tricking. The recipe you gave me was real, but I couldn't refine it and ordinary people couldn't use it either."

Zhang Xinglin continued calmly:

"Most importantly, even if your character is bad, it's still better than the Wu family's, right? Besides, you're the young master of the Goddess Pavilion. With that status alone, you wouldn't lie to me."

Chen Huo neither confirmed nor denied this persuasion.

In fact, he didn't care whether it was true or false.

As long as the Wu-Yue people are dead, that's enough.

As for Wu Chengjiang, we can kill him when we have another chance.

"I'm waiting for your good news."

……

The Wu family.

Zhang Xinglin stared at the disconnected phone, a cold glint in her eyes.

Since Wu Yushu died last time, and Wu Chengze severely injured him, he has completely lost trust in the Wu family and wishes he could kill all the Wu family members so that he could get rid of them.

But he didn't have that ability.

Because of his old age and frail health, he has not fully recovered from the serious injuries Wu Chengze inflicted on him last time, and has even developed chronic illnesses that are difficult to cure completely with ordinary tonics.

He wanted to use good medicine, but he didn't have the right medicinal materials.

After much thought, the Body Tempering Pill was the most suitable for him to take. It would enhance his physical strength and eliminate those ailments. Moreover, he had been stuck at the first level of the Emperor Realm for many years, and perhaps he could break through the realm after his physical strength was improved.

Becoming a second-tier Emperor Realm expert will make leaving the Wu family much easier.

The Wu family is indeed heavily guarded now, and Wu Yue, as the only person in the Wu family with a special physique, is under even strict protection, making it very difficult to kill him.

But now is the most suitable time.

Because Wu Chengjiang used the pretext of eliminating internal traitors to suppress collateral branches of the family, it aroused dissatisfaction among many people and even caused several conflicts, creating a climate of fear.

Since Wu Yue died, a member of the collateral branch of the Wu family is the most likely suspect.

If things are arranged properly, he will be fine.

If he succeeds, he will not only receive Chen Huo's reward, but he might also cause internal strife within the Wu family, accelerating its decline. Only then will he have the opportunity to lead the Zhang family out of the Wu family's control in the future.
