Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

"On the surface, they seem united, but in reality, they are divided and disloyal. All it takes is one trigger for the Wu family to collapse," Zhang Xinglin said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Chen Huo knew a little about the Wu family's situation and had already guessed what was going on when he heard this.

Zhang Xinglin's subsequent explanation was almost entirely correct to his guess.

Wu Chengze previously used the pretext of searching for an internal traitor to suppress collateral branches, causing unrest within the Wu family. However, because their direct line was powerful, no major troubles occurred.

But the dissatisfaction was already buried in his heart.

This discontent grew as Wu Chengze seized the official Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower, confronted the government, and later compromised by handing over all his secular assets and killing Wu Qingfeng, a representative figure of the collateral branch.

The reason why there is no internal strife and no unified front against external forces is due to pressure from the authorities.

Once external pressure is removed, chaos will ensue in the Wu family.

"Right now, no one in the Wu family truly cares whether Wu Yue represents the future of the Wu family; they only care about the present. Their emotions are building up, and one day they'll explode!"

"But we can't wait. Once we get rid of Wu Yue, the Wu family's direct line will completely lose power and disintegrate from within. Then it will be easy to eliminate them. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Xinglin asked.

Chen Huo shook his head: "No, as long as that old bastard from the Wu family is still alive and Wu Yue is still in the Wu family, we can only endure it for the time being. You should continue to lie low."

That old man from the Wu family is terrifying.

No one dared to easily go and fight him.

Unless his master breaks through and becomes a seventh-level Emperor Realm expert to kill that old man, but that would take some time, and Chen Huo doesn't want to rely on his master's power.

This would make him appear incompetent.

Another method is to get Wu Yue to leave the Wu family's stronghold.

It seems impossible now.

Of course, there is another way.

"Do you have a way to get rid of Old Master Wu?"

"No!"

Zhang Xinglin said decisively, "That old fellow lives in a villa in the back mountain and never leaves the house. Even the head of the family can hardly see him. He has people serving him. I can't make a move against him."

"Stay home??" Chen Huo scoffed. "I have my own ways of making him move."

"What method?" Zhang Xinglin asked curiously.

"You don't need to worry about this. Just lie low, find out the details of the Wu family, and you'll need them in the future," Chen Huo said calmly.

The old master of the Wu family is nearing the end of his lifespan, which is his greatest weakness. Fortunately, Chen Huo can refine pills that increase lifespan, so he is not afraid that the old master will not be tempted. He will slowly destroy the Wu family.

"Okay! I'll wait for your good news."

Zhang Xinglin hung up the phone.

Just as Chen Huo was about to put down his phone and continue cultivating, he saw a missed call on his phone. It must have been from an unknown number during his call with Zhang Xinglin.

Just as Chen Huo was about to strike, the other side struck again.

The call connected, and an unfamiliar voice answered.

"Chen Huo?"

"It's me. Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important; what matters is whether you want the Crimson Heart Sunflower?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "So, you're the one who kidnapped the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was calm: "No, it's not like the government is the only one with the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower."

"So you're from the Yamamoto family?"

"No, it's not important who I am. What's important is that I have the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower. Do you want it or not?" The tone on the other end of the phone was clearly impatient.

Chen Huo said calmly, "State your conditions."

"I want three Breakthrough Pills after I refine them!"

"Sure, you should know where I live, just bring it over."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Bring the medicinal herbs and the alchemy furnace, and stay away from all eyes and ears. I'll give you a location, and you can come and refine them on-site. I think you have the ability to do it."

The tone on the other end of the phone was very stiff, as if they thought they could control Chen Huo with the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower.

Little did he know that Chen Huo had already refined the Breakthrough Pill, and now he no longer craved the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower as much as before. He wouldn't be led by the nose by Chen Huo, and scoffed:

"Why should I do what you say? If you want the Breakthrough Pill, then bring the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower yourself. I've had enough of you using the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower to blackmail me."

"You don't want the Breakthrough Pill anymore? You don't want your master to break through his cultivation level? Do you want to watch the Goddess Pavilion be destroyed? Don't try to play tricks on me, just do as I say."

"Is this how you ask for help?"

Chen Huo gave a cold laugh and hung up the phone.

Now he needs to take the initiative.

He had witnessed the power of the authorities firsthand. Rather than cooperating with the mysterious person on the other end of the phone, he figured it was better to cooperate with the authorities and maybe they could expose him. Chen Huo then pulled out Yuan Gang's phone number.

Just as I was about to call back, that unfamiliar number called again.

Chen Huo hung up and dialed Yuan Gang's number.

As soon as the call connected, Yuan Gang let out a long sigh.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, our men failed to catch that robber. He was a sixth-level Emperor Realm expert, and now we can't find either the man or the medicinal herbs."

Chen Huo went straight to the point: "The people who kidnapped your Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower just called me. You can arrange for technical intervention to track down the kidnappers."

"What?!"

"Okay! Okay!"

"Brother Chen, who was that person, and what did he say?!"

Yuan Gang suddenly raised his voice several octaves and asked.

Chen Huo briefly recounted the conversation, and Yuan Gang, upon hearing this, greatly approved of his actions.

"You were right not to cooperate with him. These scoundrels have no credibility whatsoever; they'll only harm you! Cooperating with us is the right choice. I'll bring a professional team over immediately!"

"Okay, there's one more thing, could you please arrange it for me?"

"Speak! Brother Chen, as long as I can do it, I won't hesitate!"

"I'll give you a list of medicinal herbs later. You can search for them for me all over the country. Remember to make a big fuss about it and let as many people in the ancient martial arts world as possible know about it."

"No problem. May I ask what you're collecting these medicinal herbs for?"

Yuan Gang wasn't stupid. From Chen Huo's deliberate insistence that everyone in the ancient martial arts world know about it, he could tell that Chen Huo must have a purpose in doing so, and he guessed that it was related to the Wu family.

Chen Huo didn't hide anything and said bluntly, "It's that old bastard who's fishing for the Wu family."

Yuan Gang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He then solemnly warned, "Chen Huo, that old man is probably nearing the end of his life. The most dangerous people are those who are about to die. I advise you not to provoke him. He'll be dead in a couple of years."

Chen Huo said coldly, "I don't have that much patience to wait any longer. If the information you provided is correct, I have plenty of ways to destroy him, but I need your cooperation."

"this……"

Yuan Gang hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to report this to my superiors. That old man is not easy to deal with. Brother Chen, you know that there are some things that I can't control."

"Understood, I'll wait for your message."

Chen Huo said calmly.

As long as the authorities still want the Breakthrough Pill, they have to cooperate with them.
