Godly Empress Doctor Chapter 4250: The Finale (5)
Previously on Godly Empress Doctor...
In the meantime, the surrounding crowd watched the events unfold in sheer disbelief.
“The scale of this confrontation is staggering...” The head of the Mountain Sea Academy murmured to Luo Nantian while observing the scene with wide eyes. “Every one of the six disciples from Sacred Mu Cliff has appeared!”
Luo Nantian placed a steadying hand against his chest. “There are seven.”
“You are correct,” the principal replied. “Your girl is among them as well.”
A bitter smile touched Luo Nantian’s lips. He had been completely unaware that his own daughter possessed such formidable connections.
“Were you truly in the dark regarding her ties to the Sacred Mu Cliff?” The principal turned to Luo Nantian, looking genuinely shocked.
Luo Nantian merely gave a grunt in response.
The principal chuckled softly. “It makes sense. Master Mu had significant friction with the royal family in the past. Should they discover she is Master Mu’s pupil, the royal family will certainly target her. Keeping this a secret was the safest course of action.”
Luo Nantian understood the logic and didn't hold a grudge against Feng Wu, though he couldn't help feeling a bit slighted.
The principal sighed, filled with emotion. “We owe it all to that girl. Without her intervention, our entire coalition would have been destroyed.”
Luo Nantian countered, “The Mountain Sea Academy might have survived, but the Luo family would have certainly met its end.”
The principal offered a wry smile. “I find it hard to believe you don't grasp the Princess Royal's intentions. If the Luo family fell, the Mountain Sea Academy would be left at the royal family's mercy. Do you honestly think we would be allowed to live in peace?”
As they whispered, Luo Nantian edged closer to the principal. Making sure no eyes were on them, he discreetly passed over the remaining half-bottle of blood.
“What is this?” the principal inquired.
“It is the antidote,” Luo Nantian whispered back.
The principal failed to mask his shock. “What?!” The antidote?!
He was baffled. Where had Luo Nantian acquired it? Who had supplied it, and why was it suddenly in his possession without the principal noticing a thing?
Luo Nantian replied with a huff, “It came from Xiao Wu, obviously. Can you not see that she has already neutralized the poison in her own system?”
The realization hit the principal. He remembered Feng Wu joining the fray and clashing fiercely with the Princess Royal; that was definitive proof that Feng Wu had indeed purged the toxin!
“Be quick about it.” Luo Nantian shoved the half-bottle toward the principal, who promptly stashed it inside his sleeve.
Meanwhile, Luo Nantian was already focusing his Qi to neutralize the poison and regain his mobility.
Master Lv fixed a cold smirk on Hua Yangzi. “Do you truly believe there is no one capable of suppressing you?”
“Master, are you present?”
Following his call, a figure clad in gray materialized instantly at his side.
Lord Yan gasped in astonishment.
“It is the Saint Elder One!”
This elder, once the chief of the eunuchs, was the mentor to Master Lv and a loyal servant to the Emperor Emeritus. He had vanished from public view when the Emperor Emeritus entered seclusion.
Now, however, the Saint Elder One had returned.
The reigning emperor emerged right alongside him.
“Your Majesty!”
Immediately, everyone felt the presence of the ambitious sovereign, a man driven by the desire to conquer every continent and reclaim the empire's ancient prestige.
Feng Wu’s eyes narrowed as she watched them.
Emperor Yan made no effort to suppress his suffocating, intimidating aura.
It appeared that both factions had finally revealed their primary players.
Representing the royal family were Emperor Dayan, the Saint Elder One, Master Lv, Lord Yan, the Princess Royal, the patriarch of the Murong family, and the abbot.
Standing with the Luo family were Hua Yangzi, Dao Yu, Chu Tianxiao, the Sage of Calligraphy, Master Linghu, Patriarch Helian, and Feng Wu.
