My disciple, you are now invincible. Go down the mountain and wreak havoc on the world!

As a result, Ye Xunhuan didn't even move his feet, but slightly shifted his body to the side and dodged the punch.

He also casually patted the bronze guardian's arm, as if brushing off dust from his clothes.

"Slow down, slow down. Don't jump around like that when you're old. If you hurt your back, I won't put a plaster on it for you."

"Besides, didn't you see I was busy saving people? You cut in line, don't you have any manners?"

The Bronze Guardian missed his punch, lost his balance and staggered forward two steps. He felt a tingling sensation throughout his arm, like an electric shock, and he couldn't even clench his fist.

He was both shocked and frightened. He, a dignified bronze guardian of Youge Pavilion with the cultivation of a half-step grandmaster, couldn't even last a single move against this kid.

Just then, a deafening gasp suddenly erupted from the audience.

"He's awake! Mr. Zhang... he's gotten up!"

"My God! Secretary Li is awake too!"

"They're all alive! They've all come back to life!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the ten people who had been foaming at the mouth and on the verge of death were now all sitting up straight.

Some people wiped the foam from the corners of their mouths, some scratched their heads, and the Mr. Zhang on the far left asked, still looking confused:

"What happened to me? How did I end up on the floor? Why does my head hurt so much..."

"Amazing! This is absolutely incredible!"

"A few injections and a pill, and he was saved in less than a minute? He's a miracle doctor!"

"Even the old apothecary was helpless just now, how did he manage to solve it so easily?"

The reporters went wild, pushing forward with their cameras, their flashes going off like thunder, the clicking of cameras drowning out all the discussion.

This is sure to be tomorrow's headline! The successor of Medicine King Valley has appeared in the world and saved lives on the spot by detoxifying the poison. This news will blow up the entire Jiangnan medical circle!

Ye Xunhuan stood up, a lollipop dangling from his mouth, brushed off non-existent dust from his pants, and slowly scanned the crowd below the stage.

Those burly men who had been shouting "murder for money" were now hunching over and trying to slip into the crowd, hoping to escape in the chaos.

"Hey, you guys in black, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Ye Xunhuan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire hall.

Those men froze, then ran even faster.

"Trying to run?" Ye Xunhuan sneered, flicking a few thin needles between his fingers.

The silver needles seemed to have eyes, slicing through the air with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," precisely piercing the acupoints on the backs of those people's legs.

Then, several cries of "Ouch! Ouch!" were heard, and at the same time, their legs went weak, and they collapsed to their knees with a "thump, thump."

They were kneeling upright, facing Ye Xunhuan, and couldn't even get up, as if they were kowtowing.

The entire room fell silent instantly, and all eyes were on these few people.

Ye Xunhuan slowly walked off the stage, squatted down in front of the burly man at the front, reached out and patted his face, speaking in a flippant tone.

"Speak up, who sent you? Who switched the medicine? Confess now, and you'll suffer less."

The burly man, neck stiff, stubbornly retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting! We're here for the press conference! You're abusing your power! I'm calling the police to arrest you!"

"Call the police? Sure."

Ye Xun was delighted and reached out to pinch his chin. The man's mouth opened involuntarily, and Ye Xun flicked a small black pill the size of a millet grain into it.

"It'll be a good opportunity for the police to see just how much malice you've got in your heads."

"This is a specialty of our Medicine King Valley, the 'Itch Pill.' If you don't tell the truth for half an hour, worms will grow out of your bones, and you'll be so itchy that you'll peel off your own skin."

The pill melted instantly in his mouth, and the burly man, who was about to spit it out, had already swallowed it.

Less than three seconds later, he began to writhe all over, his face contorted in extreme pain, screaming as if a thousand ants were crawling inside his bones.

"It itches! It itches so much! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

"It was the people from Youge who ordered us to do it! We switched the medicine when the staff weren't looking! It was all to bring down the Su Group and Medicine King Valley! It was all ordered by the Bronze Protector!"

These words caused an uproar throughout the entire venue!

"So it was Youge who did this! How despicable!"

"No wonder this perfectly good traditional medicine could kill people; it turns out someone framed me!"

"These people are awful! They almost killed ten people!"

The reporters were so excited their faces turned red, their pens flying as they jotted down notes and their cameras snapped away at the burly men.

Not only was Su innocent, but she also became the victim. This reversal was absolutely brilliant!

Su Qingyuan stood on the stage, watching Ye Xunhuan squatting on the ground, interrogating people with a candy stick in his mouth, and felt both warm and bittersweet.

He resolved what seemed like a catastrophe in no time.

Just how many more skills does this guy have that she doesn't know about?

On stage, the Bronze Guardian trembled with rage upon realizing his scheme had been exposed, his eyes beneath the mask filled with murderous intent.

"Ye Xunhuan! How dare you ruin my Youge's grand plans! I will tear you to pieces!"

"Tear him to pieces? You think you can?"

Ye Xunhuan stood up, clapped his hands, and turned to walk step by step toward the stage.

He had a lollipop in his mouth and walked unsteadily, like he was strolling through a market, but with each step he took, the chill around him intensified.

As they walked to the edge of the stage, the audience felt a chill creep up from their feet; despite it being the hottest time of summer, they shivered uncontrollably.

The Bronze Guardian's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took a step back.

He then realized that he was no match for this kid at all.

Last night, three strongholds were destroyed and dozens of brothers were killed. It was not a sneak attack at all. This kid really has the strength to crush them!

But he suddenly sneered, and instead of making another move, he clapped his hands.

"Clap clap clap—"

The crisp applause sounded particularly abrupt in the chaotic hall.

Ye Xunhuan raised an eyebrow, bit into the candy in his mouth, and said indistinctly:

"What? You think you can just clap and beg for mercy because you can't beat me? Too late."

"Kneel down and kowtow three times, then take off that tattered mask from your face and use it as a spittoon, that's all..."

Before Ye Xunhuan could finish speaking, the Bronze Guardian interrupted him.

"Ye Xunhuan, do you really think I'm here today to fight you one-on-one?"

The Bronze Guardian's hoarse laughter carried a strange smugness. "You're scared by this little scene? Let me tell you..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on Ye Xunhuan's face. Each word he uttered was like a poisoned icicle:

"Lord Pavilion Master, we have landed in Jiangcheng."

"boom--"

These words struck the hall like a thunderbolt. The old apothecary turned pale on the spot, staggered back a step, and almost fell to the ground.

Master of Youge Pavilion!

That demon who single-handedly destroyed Medicine King Valley twenty years ago and roamed the martial world unchallenged!

He actually came to Jiangcheng in person?

The murmurs from the audience fell silent instantly, and everyone held their breath.

Although many people don't know who the Pavilion Master of Youge is, seeing how frightened Yao Lao is, they know that he must be an extremely powerful and terrifying figure.

Ye Xunhuan's smile faded slightly, and his fingertips tightened slightly, deforming the lollipop stick in his hand.

Twenty years ago, all 317 members of the Medicine King Valley family were wiped out overnight, their blood flowing like a river.

The guardian risked his life to send him into the deep mountains, and before he died, he only said four words—"Master of Youge Pavilion."

For so many years, he has been diligently practicing medicine and martial arts in the mountains, waiting for this day.

Seeing his expression change, the Bronze Guardian became even more smug:

"What? Scared? With our Pavilion Master here in person, not only will you, a remnant of Medicine King Valley, but the entire martial arts world of Dragon Summer, have to bow down to our Nether Pavilion! You'd better wash your neck clean and wait to die!"

As he spoke, he pulled a black smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it hard on the ground.

"Bang!"

Thick black smoke exploded instantly, filling most of the stage.

"Ye Xunhuan, just you wait! The sect leader will personally come to take your dog's life!"

When the smoke cleared, the Bronze Guardian was no longer on the stage, leaving only a pool of foul-smelling black grime on the ground and a crowd of terrified people.

Su Qingyuan quickly walked to Ye Xunhuan's side, her voice filled with worry: "The Pavilion Master of Youge... is he very powerful, isn't he?"

Ye Xunhuan snapped out of his daze, casually tossed away the deformed candy stick, pulled out a new lollipop, put it in his mouth, and resumed his carefree and nonchalant demeanor.

He reached out and ruffled Su Qingyuan's hair, his tone relaxed: "Impressive, isn't it?"

"He's just so-so, nowhere near as good as the old blind man guarding the mountain gate in our village."

"It's perfect timing, saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one!"

He spoke casually, but a chilling glint flashed in his eyes.
