Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1578 - 705: Act of Madness (Part 2)

But Fang Yu had him narrow the list down to just critical patients, and he didn’t guarantee he could save everyone.

The amount of Detoxification Medicine the Nanyuan Family was willing to send out was also limited.

The remaining patients would be handed over to the Nanyuan Family, who already had the Detoxification Medicine workshop; they could deal with them.

No matter whether the Nanyuan Family later chose to sell the Detoxification Medicine at a high price or cheap, Fang Yu didn’t want to interfere, and didn’t want to care.

Being able, within a certain scope, to provide free Detoxification Medicine and save the critically ill was already his limit.

Going a step further would be to play Saint like Monk Quan Heng, and the ones he’d have to face then wouldn’t just be a few mid-level clan leaders, but the true old Monsters and old fossils of the families—the risk would be far too great.

And to reach that step, to let everyone have free Detoxification Medicine, the amount of effort wasted would be enormous, and the obstacles faced wouldn’t just be a Nanyuan Family that turns hostile; the other clans probably wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen either.

Any family power is driven by profit.

Their blocking his distribution of free Detoxification Medicine would be to prevent the Nanyuan Family from gaining benefits, not because they wanted to promote free medicine and benefit the masses.

If the medicine were in the hands of the Yi Family or the Lu Family and the others, then today’s situation would turn into the Nanyuan Family joining forces with those two to stop him from handing out the medicine.

After going through so much, Fang Yu was already quite clear-headed about this kind of matter.

On the way back to the Nanyuan Family, Fang Yu could sense that every now and then, people were secretly tailing him, watching from the shadows.

But Fang Yu ignored them.

Right now in all of Da Liang City, there were bound to be countless pairs of eyes fixed on his every move, but once he entered Nanyuan Mansion, these people would have to be kept outside.

Up ahead, the main gate of the Nanyuan Family was already in sight, and there seemed to be people at the entrance, who had been waiting for a long time.

[Nanyuan Xian: 8000/8000.]

Looks like some things had already reached Nanyuan Xian’s ears.

...

Yi Family.

Slam!!

The Yi Family Head slammed his big hand heavily onto the table, smashing the long table before him into pieces on the spot!

The fact that the people they’d sent out came slinking back was bad enough.

Yi Jiu was gravely injured and unconscious, and his daughter Yi Haitang was likewise injured and unconscious!

Wasn’t this the same as grinding the Yi Family’s face into the dirt?! They really weren’t treating the Yi Family as human at all, were they!

"When has my Yi Family ever suffered such humiliation!!!"

The Yi Family Head gnashed his teeth and growled low, while the Elders around him remained silent.

Fang Yu’s strength had exceeded their expectations—and far exceeded them!

Yi Jiu’s power, within the Yi Family, might not be top-tier, but he was still a first-class fighter, a standard Wood Realm Expert!

According to the report from the returning men, such a powerhouse had failed to last even a few moves in Diao Deyi’s hands and was subdued on the spot!

This difference in strength, this ferocity of power, was already beyond the level of ordinary top experts!

They even suspected that all of them going together might still not be a match for that Diao Deyi!

"We should seek a true joint cooperation..."

One Elder who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke.

And this suggestion was instantly approved by everyone present.

Even the Yi Family Head, whose face had been full of anger, suddenly cooled down, clenching his fists in silence.

"How do we do it?"

"Kill the Divine Doctor, cut off the source! Destroy the outsider, crush the Nanyuan Family’s momentum!"

So... kill Fang Yu and kill Ding Hui!

But...

"Is that enough? Is the combined strength of our three families enough to charge into the Nanyuan Family and kill them?" Even the Yi Family Head was somewhat unsure.

Killing people out in the open and charging into another’s lair to kill are two completely different levels of difficulty. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent top Assassins specialized in assassination to carry out the job earlier.

If it were really that easy, they could just assign a few people to go over, take care of the target, and then escape.

Every major family has some trump cards and heritage; the Yi Family had them, and so did the Nanyuan Family.

Sending just a few assassins, without forming a large-scale force, would only make the Nanyuan Family tighten their defenses a bit.

But if they dispatched large numbers to launch an attack, with the posture of wiping out the Nanyuan Family’s arrogance, then the counterattack they’d face would make both sides suffer miserably.

"It’s enough! With the pressure shared among the other two families, we’ll be able to break through the encirclement and kill our targets!"

The more radical Elder began to take a stand.

Another Elder, however, said in a deep voice: "The cost of failure is too high. In my opinion, we might as well... ask the Ancestor to come out early? This concerns the life and death of our family. Divine Doctor Ding’s medicine has already appeared! The rise of the Nanyuan Family will be unstoppable! Only by eliminating Divine Doctor Ding now can we stem the tide, and kill it in the cradle before it grows beyond recall!"

Ask the Ancestor to exit seclusion early?!

As soon as this proposal came out, it shocked not only everyone present, but even the Yi Family Head himself.

Ever since the battle with the Lin Family, the Ancestor had been in seclusion recuperating until now.

For injuries that require such secluded recuperation, they cannot be fully healed without at least several years, even more than a decade.

To call the Ancestor out rashly, and risk leaving hidden ailments in his body or making his Cultivation Technique go haywire—then they would be the source of sin.

But if they didn’t summon the Ancestor and relied on themselves alone, could they really kill those two? The Yi Family Head had no confidence in his heart.

Time was urgent. If their operation failed, and Divine Doctor Ding kept producing Detoxification Medicine, letting the Nanyuan Family gain control over all the city’s people, then the Yi Family would be finished! Even if the Ancestor came out by then, it would be too late.

After all, the Yi Family had an Ancestor, and the Nanyuan Family also had an Ancestor; the two were almost on par. If both trump cards were played, no one could do anything to the other.

Only by winning through surprise and seizing the timing could they make this card truly effective!

The Yi Family Head frowned deeply.

And finally made a decision.

"We’ll do as you say and rouse the Ancestor ahead of time!"

At these words, everyone present was instantly excited!

With the Ancestor taking the field, what can’t be done?

But the next second, they heard the Yi Family Head continue:

"But if only our Yi Family’s Ancestor takes the field and pays such a huge price, I do not agree. So we must... persuade the other two families to let their Ancestors of the Lu Family and Shu Family also exit seclusion—right in front of us!"

If none of them get to recuperate, that’s fairness!

Otherwise, if only the Yi Family puts in the effort while the other two sit back and enjoy the gains? There’s no such good thing under heaven!

After all, the problem was laid before everyone.

If they let the Nanyuan Family be, then they’d all be finished together! The other two families surely understood this as well!

At first, the Yi Family Head’s words left the other Elders somewhat stunned.

They felt this plan was almost impossible.

Because whether the Ancestors of the Shu Family and Lu Family would stop recuperating and come out into the world was not something they could decide.

But after thinking it through carefully, pondering it deeply, they suddenly felt that this matter was quite feasible!

Indeed, if any one of the three families’ Ancestors took action, that alone could solve the problem—but all the losses and risks to the Ancestor would be borne by that one family.

Only if all three families send out their Ancestors and share the risks together can it be called fair!

They couldn’t just flatten the Nanyuan Family only to let the other two rise; otherwise the Yi Family would be playing the sucker, making wedding clothes for those two.

With the policy set and the resolve made firm.

Next, they would invite the decision-makers of the other two families to gather, and have a frank, open talk!

Under the external pressure of the Nanyuan Family, the Yi Family Head believed the other two families would not refuse his invitation.

"To discuss a major matter..."

As expected, when the other two families received the Yi Family’s invitation, they all showed hesitation.

But in the end, they still decided to attend and meet!

Under external pressure, the three families were united as never before!

And after several hours of intensive negotiations and multi-sided bargaining...

At last, the final decision was made.

Not long after, the three family leaders stood separately within their own clan’s forbidden grounds.

Facing the sealed doors, the three of them, though in different regions, almost knelt at the same time!

"Your unfilial descendants beg Ancestor to exit seclusion!!"

"Your unfilial descendants beg Ancestor to exit seclusion!!"

"Your unfilial descendants beg Ancestor to exit seclusion!!"

Rumble...

The sealed doors of each family’s forbidden ground slowly opened...

...
