Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

"Yuan Gang, calm down. Our Wu family doesn't want to be your enemy. I just want to save my son. It's nothing more than a small favor for Chen Huo."

Wu Chengze's tone softened, clearly indicating he didn't want to fall out with Yuan Gang.

Yuan Gang wasn't buying it. He snatched the phone from Chen Huo's hand and yelled into the receiver, "Stop talking nonsense! Hand over the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower right now, or I'll wipe out your Wu family!"

"Wipe out our Wu family?"

Wu Chengze's tone turned noticeably colder: "Then you can try. Your official forces are indeed very strong, but my Wu family is not to be trifled with! My father is still alive, and when the time comes, we'll fight to the death to wipe out most of your officials!"

"What?" Yuan Gang was stunned for a moment before saying, "Your father is still alive? How is that possible! Wasn't that old guy dead a long time ago? Trying to fool me? No way!"

Chen Huo's heart sank upon hearing this.

The old master of the Wu family was a powerful figure from the previous era. His martial arts cultivation had reached the terrifying seventh level of the Emperor Realm. Although he could not be considered invincible in this era, he was still a nuclear-level existence.

Even the Pavilion Master of the Goddess Pavilion, Chen Huo's master, was only at the sixth level of the Emperor Realm. Compared to the old man of the Wu family, his only advantage was his youth.

If the old man of the Wu family were still alive, he would be over ninety years old now. It is said that he was seriously injured and died at home back then, but the truth of this news is hard to verify now.

If that's true, then if this old guy comes out to fight desperately, he could really drag a bunch of people down with him. The authorities will also be wary, because if the losses are too great, they will lose their ability to suppress other ancient martial arts families.

Yuan Gang's face showed very obvious apprehension.

"Believe it or not, my son Wu Yue must survive, or none of us will have a good time! You can decide whether to accept my conditions or fight back."

After saying that, Wu Chengze hung up the phone.

"asshole!"

Yuan Gang roared and slammed his phone to the ground.

Snapped.

The phone shattered into pieces.

Yuan Gang was still not satisfied and shouted angrily at the top of his lungs.

"I'm going to kill that piece of shit!"

"And his son, I'll kill him too!"

"None of those little brats from the Wu family will live!"

He was filled with such hatred that he wanted to tear Wu Chengze to pieces.

Now that the items are in the Wu family's hands, and he himself is empty-handed, why should Chen Huo continue to abide by the agreement and give them two Breakthrough Pills after refining them? Moreover, Chen Huo may not accept Wu Chengze's blackmail.

Wu Chengze wasn't just stealing the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower; he was threatening the future of these two martial arts experts. This fueled Yuan Gang's anger to the point of near uncontrollable rage.

Chen Huo glanced at his phone, now smashed to pieces, his face full of helplessness.

This phone was the one Yu Ji bought for Chen Huo. Seeing that Yuan Gang had smashed it to pieces, Yu Ji snorted and said, "Can't you at least smash your own phone when you're throwing a tantrum?"

"I'll pay you a hundred!" Yuan Gang replied, looking at Chen Huo. "Brother Chen, you heard Wu Chengze's conditions. What do you say about this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo fell into deep thought.

The Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower is now in the hands of the Wu family. If he agrees to treat Wu Yue's illness, then he can completely disregard the deal he made with Yuan Gang before.

Then he can get two more Breakthrough Pills.

Yuan Gang had nothing to say about this.

To put it bluntly, they were incompetent at protecting their belongings, so who can they blame for having them stolen? It's not fair to say that because their things were stolen, buyers can't buy from others, is it?

There's another advantage to doing this.

This completely escalated the conflict between the authorities and the Wu family.

If the two sides were to engage in a fierce battle, it would be most advantageous for Chen Huo.

However, Yuan Gang did call him Brother Chen, and the two had a fairly good relationship. When they got their hands on the medicinal herbs to refine pills, they needed official support to prevent them from being snatched away by experts.

After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Chen Huo spoke:

"Saving Wu Yue is saving my enemy. I have taken the risk, so I can't give you too much. The Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower was lost by you and has nothing to do with me, so I can only give you one."

"That makes sense, Brother Chen, you're very thoughtful!"

Yuan Gang gave a thumbs up, very satisfied with the result.

As Chen Huo said, they lost the Crimson Flame Sunflower themselves. Now that Chen Hu is trading with the Wu family, they have no grounds for complaint even if they don't get a single one.

Unless you forcibly take it.

But this is not the official way.

Even Yuan Gang wouldn't do something like that.

Giving them one is already a very generous gesture.

After praising him, Yuan Gang asked, "Brother Chen, are you really planning to save Wu Yue? He's your enemy, and he has a special constitution, which could become a threat to you in the future."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo calmly replied, "Threats? He's not worthy of them. I, Chen Huo, can save him now, and I can kill him in the future."

Actually, there was something else he didn't say.

Wu Yue definitely needs to be saved.

But he wouldn't be foolish enough to actually save her; he would tamper with the treatment process, and before long, Wu Yue would contract an even more incurable illness.

He was confident that Wu Yi'an wouldn't notice.

The same applies to Zhang Xinglin.

Of course, even if Zhang Xinglin figured it out, she wouldn't say anything.

"That's impressive!"

Yuan Gang gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed in admiration.

Then, changing the subject, he said, "How about this? We'll kill Wu Yue for you afterwards, and you give us an extra Breakthrough Pill in return. How about that?"

Chen Huo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He neither immediately agreed nor refused.

Instead, he asked curiously, "You really dare to kill Wu Yue? Aren't you afraid that the old patriarchs of the Wu family will come out and fight you to the death?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gang sneered and said, "If we were to target the entire Wu family, we would genuinely fear that the old man would survive and fight us to the death. But if we only kill Wu Yue, even if the old man survives, he might not dare to cause trouble."

Chen Huo frowned slightly upon hearing this.

This logic doesn't hold water.

Wu Chengze repeatedly emphasized that Wu Yue was the future of the Wu family, a point that Chen Huo agreed with. If the withered spirit-devouring body were to grow, it could completely revitalize an ancient martial arts family.

What makes Yuan Gang so certain that the old man won't make a move?

Seeing this, Yuan Gang sneered and said, "Brother Chen, don't forget who we have backing! The reason we are being restrained is because we don't want to escalate things."

At this point, a terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted in Yuan Gang's eyes.

"If the Wu family really doesn't know when to back down, we can just drop a few missiles to bomb them. No matter how powerful that old man is, can he withstand missiles? If all else fails, we can just send an army!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo felt a chill run down his spine.

The official martial arts authorities have always exercised restraint, maneuvering among the various ancient martial arts families and using mild methods such as division and suppression to weaken their power.

However, they overlooked the fact that the authorities possessed the power to physically destroy the Wu family's base.

Of course, Yuan Gang's words were somewhat exaggerated.

This kind of thing won't happen unless absolutely necessary.
