When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

Next, Gu Zhengting swiftly arranged for several special cars to take Jiang Feng and the others to the hotel where they would be received by the officials.

"Jiang Feng, the hotel here is severely damaged and is no longer suitable for you to stay."

"Let's go to the hotel where the officials will be providing official accommodations later."

"It's not only safe there, but it also has high-class sanatoriums, which will greatly benefit Senior Lu's recovery."

Jiang Feng nodded without refusing.

Continuing to stay here will only cause more trouble for Sister Zhao Ying.

After all, once today's events escalate, various forces will be watching them closely.

The group carefully helped Lu Pingyuan into the car.

The wheels rolled on, but the atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat oppressive.

Li Changsheng, Lin Xing, and others sat on either side, their faces grave.

Who would have thought that this seemingly slovenly old man was actually the hero who saved millions of people in Jiangnan City back then!

"Cough cough..."

Lu Pingyuan's eyelids trembled slightly, and with a cough, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Old Lu, you're awake!"

Jiang Feng handed him a bottle of warm water.

Lu Pingyuan waved his hand.

He sensed the state of his body and gave a helpless, bitter laugh: "This crippled body is becoming increasingly useless..."

"You youngsters have made a fool of yourselves."

Shen Weilan's eyes reddened slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Elder Lu, is there really no cure for the poison wound you suffered back then?"

Xiao Xingye quickly chimed in, "That's right! Elder Lu, as long as you can get rid of this 'Netherworld Calamity Poison,' you'll definitely become even stronger!"

"Antidote?"

Lu Pingyuan smiled and shook his head, his smile revealing a carefree attitude that seemed to have seen through life and death.

"The eighth-tier 'Netherworld Evil Poison' has already seeped into my internal organs."

"It's alright. I've always been a lonely man in this world, with no ties to me."

He turned to look at the scenery rushing past the window and murmured, "Even if I die in some corner tomorrow, no one will remember an old geezer like me..."

"Mr. Lu, you're wrong!"

Jiang Feng stared into Lu Pingyuan's eyes and said earnestly, "Thirty years ago, strange beasts attacked the city. If it weren't for you and the Marshal risking your lives to hold back the beast tide, Jiangnan City would have been a dead city long ago!"

"Back then, who knows how many people would have perished!"

"The living people of Gangnam will remember!"

"It's recorded on the martial arts history monument! Future generations will remember it!"

"Also, your lover's death back then wasn't your fault at all!"

"The culprit behind all this is the abyssal beast!"

"If there hadn't been the invasion of the Abyss, if there hadn't been that beast tide, how could there have been that tragic separation of life and death back then?"

"boom!"

These words were like a heavy hammer, smashing open the door to Lu Pingyuan's heart that had been closed for decades!

Lu Pingyuan stood there, stunned.

That gentle, smiling face reappeared in my mind.

When she collapsed into his arms, her last words weren't complaints, but rather, "Live on, and see a world without monsters for me."

"yes!"

Lu Pingyuan's lips trembled slightly, "If it weren't for the strange beasts... if it weren't for those animals..."

A terrifying murderous intent suddenly ignited in the eyes of this old man who was on the verge of death!

That was a torrent of hatred that had been suppressed for thirty years!

He took a deep breath, and his previously dejected gaze gradually became sharp and determined.

But then he felt the poison in his body backfiring on his heart meridian, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.

"well……"

Lu Pingyuan sighed deeply, his tone filled with a resolute determination to die together with his opponent, "I know my body best, I probably... only have half a month left to live."

What?!

Everyone in the car was stunned.

Old Master Lu only has half a month left to live?

The human race is about to lose a seventh-grade Martial Emperor!

Lu Pingyuan clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, saying, "For the last half month, I'm prepared to plunge into the abyss! Even if I die, I'll drag a few beasts down to hell with me!"

These words were spoken.

The carriage was very quiet.

Shen Weilan and Xiao Wanning's eyes reddened.

Even the men like Xiao Xingye, Lin Xing, and Ling Yu felt a tightness in their chests and their hearts were heavy.

"Old Lu, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the abyss."

Jiang Feng suddenly spoke up.

"Because I can heal your poison wounds!"

"Creak!"

The driver in the front seat jerked his hand, and the SUV drew an S-shape on the road.

Inside the carriage, an eerie silence instantly descended!

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Jiang Feng in disbelief.

Xiao Xingye, Shen Weilan and the others were stunned at first, then their eyes burst with joy.

They had an almost blind trust in Jiang Feng!

Li Changsheng and Lin Xing exchanged a glance. Although they found it unbelievable, their brotherly understanding prevented them from arguing, and they simply nodded.

However, Huang Zhen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't sit still.

He turned around, his brow furrowed, and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Feng! This is not something to joke about!"

"That's the deadly poison of the eighth-tier 'Netherworld Calamity Poison Spider King'!"

"Looking across the entire country of China, even renowned doctors are helpless; they can only barely suppress the toxins!"

"You've only just broken through to the fifth rank... what can you possibly do to resolve this?!"

Lu Pingyuan was also taken aback when he heard this, then shook his head with a wry smile.

He assumed Jiang Feng was just trying to comfort him and was about to wave his hand to refuse the offer.

"Snapped!"

A prescription for medicine, emitting a faint glow, was placed in Jiang Feng's palm.

"Mr. Lu, I never joke around."

"If I say I can cure you, then even the King of Hell can't take you away!"

Lu Pingyuan subconsciously looked down.

"Seventh Grade Nine-Turn Golden Body Detoxification Pill".

This elixir seems to be something I've never heard of before.

However, when he looked at the description of the drug's effects, he was struck dumb, his face filled with shock!

【Efficacy: It can cleanse the Yin-cold toxins of level 8 and below, and dispel the erosion of the soul.】

Emerging from the cocoon like a butterfly, reshaping the heart and meridians, and repairing the damaged foundation of martial arts.

Those who break through their limitations and rise again have a 30% chance of using the medicinal power to break through their shackles and directly enter the realm of the Eighth-Rank Martial Saint!

"This...this..."

Lu Pingyuan's face was filled with disbelief.

His hands trembled uncontrollably as he gripped the prescription tightly, as if afraid it was all an illusion!

Every single pharmacological principle in this prescription perfectly matches his current desperate situation!

Not only can it detoxify, it can even rebuild his martial arts foundation, which had been corroded by toxins for decades?!

Could it be... that God has truly opened his eyes?

Can his poison really be cured?

And not only will she survive, she may even have the chance to fulfill her unfinished wish...

Breaking through to the eighth rank and becoming a Martial Saint?!

Thirty years of guilt!

Thirty years of torment from deadly poison!

Thirty years of cultivation without any progress and self-abandonment!

It was utterly shattered at that moment!

"ah!!!"

Lu Pingyuan raised his head and burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
