Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

"Old man, you're still alive."

Wu Hao walked over at a leisurely pace.

His chest barely rose and fell, like that of a living dead.

The aura of death emanating from him was even stronger than that of Yao Chong'an. In Chen Huo's opinion, he should have died long ago; he was merely clinging to life with his formidable cultivation.

"I thought you were long dead," Yao Chong'an said, shifting to a more comfortable position. Although his words were unpleasant, there was no hostility in them; it felt like an old friend chatting casually.

"You must be the Divine Physician, the King of Hell?"

Wu Hao glanced at Chen Huo and said in a cold, emotionless voice.

Chen Huo nodded.

"That's right."

"A man of imposing stature, a dragon among men."

After making a comment, Wu Hao went to the opposite side of Yao Chong'an, pulled out a chair, sat down, and leaned back in the chair, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

"If you're planning to kill me, then you're in for a mistake; you'll be the one who dies. If you're also here to prolong your life, then we can try cooperating."

"You're still as awesome as ever."

Yao Chong'an burst into laughter.

Wu Hao ignored him.

Their gaze fell upon Chen Huo.

"I already know what those good-for-nothing lads of mine did. People get arrogant when they have power, everyone's the same, they chicken out when they encounter someone stronger."

"They've already chickened out. You've got them completely under your thumb. That's impressive. It's clear you're destined for great things. I couldn't compare to you when I was young."

"They are nothing more than stumbling blocks on your path to rise, or at most, stepping stones. You don't need to bother with them. You should take a long-term view. We may have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Chen Huo smiled coldly upon hearing this.

Wu Hao thinks he can just dismiss the past events with a casual mention of a stepping stone?

This is utterly absurd!

Only he possesses extraordinary abilities and superb medical skills.

Anyone else would have been killed long ago.

Wu Hao was not surprised by his reaction at all, and continued, "I know you're angry, but Wu Chengjiang has already expressed his sincerity in apologizing. You should think about the future."

"Our Wu family is a martial arts family, while your Goddess Pavilion is not. But ultimately, both are forces that are not strictly controlled by the government. If they want to eliminate our Wu family now, they will eliminate your Goddess Pavilion in the future."

"You know this was bound to happen. If you were in the same position as the head of the official martial arts department, would you tolerate such abnormal existences outside of authority as the Wu family and the Goddess Pavilion?"

"So you shouldn't cooperate with them, and we shouldn't become enemies. My sons are stupid, but I am not. I will correct all the mistakes. I came here with sincerity."

Wu Hao's words sounded very sincere, and his arguments about the government and forces like the Goddess Pavilion were very reasonable. In the near future, Chen Huo would also have to face them.

But it is impossible to persuade Chen Huo with these grand principles.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

They also knew very well what Wu Hao wanted.

The conflict is irreconcilable, and there is no need for politeness.

Chen Huo scoffed, "In the end, all you want is to live ten more years?"

I like your personality.

Wu Hao's lips twitched; he wanted to laugh, but it looked worse than crying.

"You're absolutely right, that's exactly why I came here. You never know what treasures those ancient families have hidden in their vaults. I think the Nine Revolutions Return to Nothingness Pill has a very good chance of being refined."

As he spoke, Wu Hao looked at Yao Chong'an and said, "In other words, you also have a high probability of living another ten years. Let's cooperate and help Chen Huo gather the medicinal herbs together."

Chen Huo snorted coldly in his heart upon hearing this.

Only he can refine the Nine-Turn Return to Emptiness Pill.

Now that things have been made clear, Wu Hao should continue to try to repair the relationship.

But Wu Hao did not do that.

Instead, he tried to persuade Yao Chong'an.

This shows that Wu Hao never intended to repair the relationship or use benefits to get Chen Huo to refine the Nine-Turn Return to Void Pill for him from the beginning, but instead planned to force him through violence.

Whether or not it will succeed depends on Yao Chong'an.

Chen Huo looked at Yao Chong'an.

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Chen Huo's heart sank.

Something unexpected is about to happen.

"You old codger, are you planning to die with your so-called lofty ideals? Think about it, if you could live another ten years, it would mean you might be able to break through to the eighth rank."

"That's entirely possible. You know, that kid Chen Huo can refine Breakthrough Pills. If he succeeds, we can gain another ten or twenty years of lifespan. Wouldn't that be great?"

"This tempting world, are you really willing to give it up? Are you really willing to fight me to the death? Don't be silly, you've dedicated your life to the government, aren't you going to think about yourself now?"

Wu Hao continued.

Like the whispers of a demon.

Yao Chong'an was tempted. His eyes, which had been relatively calm, now flashed with a piercing light. The older people get, the more afraid they are of death, especially those of them who stand at the top of the food chain.

Seeing this, Chen Huo asked in a deep voice, "Senior Yao, are you really planning to cooperate with him?"

"this……"

Yao Chong'an's eyes darted around a few times, then became firm and indifferent.

"Chen Huo, I think he's right. I should think about myself. I admire you and hope you can cooperate so we can find the medicinal herbs together and refine the Nine-Turn Return to Emptiness Pill."

Chen Huo sighed softly upon hearing this.

He was somewhat disappointed.

This old fellow still couldn't resist the temptation of life.

This morning, the undisguised envy in Yao Chong'an's eyes made Chen Huo secretly wary. He never expected that the thing he least wanted to see would still happen.

Therefore, he has a backup plan and things haven't gotten out of control yet.

So he didn't panic.

However, Yuan Gang and Yu Ji, who were watching from a distance, panicked.

"Old Yao, how could you collude with him? Don't forget your identity! This is treason!" Yuan Gang shouted, then took out his phone to send a message to someone.

"Senior, a person should keep their word. How can you associate with thieves?!" Yu Ji ran to Chen Huo's side and rebuked Yao Chong'an with a gloomy face.

"Senior, you must be joking, right?!" Gu Yingxue said with a worried expression.

"Ha ha……"

Wu Hao laughed, arrogant and unrestrained.

Yao Chong'an coldly replied, "I don't need your interference in my affairs. If it weren't for our past relationship and the unusual connection between you two girls and Chen Huo, you would already be dead!"

Yu Ji and Gu Yingxue were about to say something when Chen Huo stopped them.

"All of us combined are no match for them. There's no point in talking about this. Let's step back. It's just refining some pills. We're not going to die here. Calm down."

Yao Chong'an said calmly, "Young friend Chen, don't be angry. I think Wu Hao is quite right. Let's not dwell on the past. How about we talk about collecting medicinal herbs somewhere else?"
