Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1580 - 706: Confrontation (Part 2)

Wait?

That’s quite a shift in conversation... You’re not planning to send me to other families to kill a few people for your entertainment, are you, old man?

Fang Yu pretended not to understand, showing a puzzled expression.

"How could it be? The detoxification medicine can save the people, save all of creation. If it blocks the path of the Nanyuan Family, then it would mean causing the people in the city to perish! They won’t be so foolish!"

"Instructor Diao ultimately does not understand the evil inherent in human hearts. Do you know, who exactly has been causing trouble and attacking these days? It is precisely the people from the Yi Family, the Lu Family, and the Shu Family! While our Nanyuan Family wholeheartedly tries to save people, we face such treatment. Truly, humanity has changed!"

Nanyuan Xian sighed deeply, silently waiting for Fang Yu to speak.

What should one do at this moment? Make a statement!

Fang Yu immediately furrowed his brows.

"Is that so? The reactions of these three families truly disappoint me!"

Disappointment? Mere disappointment is not enough!

Nanyuan Xian wanted to speak further, but suddenly Nanyuan Rong, who was sitting beside him, slowly stood up.

"Family Head, today is a joyous day, so why speak of things that dampen the mood? Come! Instructor Diao, let’s have a drink!"

It must be done!

Fang Yu immediately raised his cup and drank it all.

Nanyuan Xian moved his lips as if to say something, glanced at Nanyuan Rong, and then gently closed them again.

Only after Nanyuan Rong finished his drink did he exclaim, "Instructor Diao, your skills, I’m afraid I’m the only one in the Nanyuan Family who truly understands them. But two hands are hard against four fists, even a great hero fears dark schemes. The Yi Family, the Lu Family, and the Shu Family have made their stance clear by showing both overt and covert tactics. Instructor Diao, be careful in your actions moving forward."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder. I will be cautious."

With that said, what followed were moments of eating and drinking.

The atmosphere started to become harmonious and relaxed.

After meals and drinks, Fang Yu then rose to take his leave.

Once Fang Yu left, none of the people present departed.

"Why did you stop me from speaking further?"

Nanyuan Xian was the first to speak, directing his gaze straight at Nanyuan Rong.

"You were too hasty. The methods of those three families have only just begun to surface. Instructor Diao clearly isn’t at the point of breaking off as enemies with the three families yet. Asking Instructor Diao to work for us now is premature."

"So you mean..."

"Deepen the conflict. If necessary, let Divine Doctor Ding encounter some danger. Instructor Diao is too strong, making it difficult to create a sense of crisis for him. The only leverage is through those close to him."

"...But those three families have just suffered setbacks; they probably won’t rush into action for now."

"If they won’t act, we can make a move. It’s not necessarily... requires being their actual members."

"...Understood."

With this discussion, the upper echelons of the Nanyuan Family essentially set their direction.

Yet just then...

"News!!! News!!!!"

A flurry of urgent footsteps resounded from outside.

The person responsible for liaising with spies in the Nanyuan Family burst into the hall, sweating profusely.

"Why such haste? No civility!"

Nanyuan Xian reprimanded on the spot, frowning tightly.

"Report, reporting to the Family Head! Spies lurking in the Yi Family, Lu Family, and Shu Family have sent news simultaneously! The high-level members of the three families all visited the family restricted areas today!"

This statement caused shock among everyone present!

Someone even jumped up from their seat, looking utterly bewildered!

Family restricted areas!

This is a sensitive topic for any family.

Especially concerning the situation in Da Liang City; within the family restricted areas reside the old ancestors, who are secluded and healing their injuries!

If not for matters concerning the survival of the family, it’s absolutely impossible and certainly not dared to disturb the old ancestor’s recuperation in the restricted areas!

"How dare they?!"

"Could it be..."

"Impossible! Aren’t they afraid their own old ancestor might go insane?"

"Madness! Going straight to this extent..."

Upon realizing, the people present were thrown into chaos, talking over one another, with worry dominating their hearts!

The old ancestors, the patriarch of the family, hold the top-tier combat power that surpasses anything within the family! Like a mountain, supporting the entire family!

The stronger an old ancestor is, the more influence they possess in Da Liang City! The real status!

Back then, it was the Lin Family’s old ancestor, the strongest of all, who dominated the entire city with an unparalleled stance!

Afterward, only through years of effort and planning did they finally overthrow the Lin Family, and with the collaboration of multiple old ancestors, succeeded in suppressing the Lin Family’s old ancestor who went insane!

The cost, naturally, was that all the old ancestors began to rest and heal their wounds discreetly.

Tens of years or even more should pass, under Nanyuan Xian’s estimation, where the old ancestors shouldn’t prematurely emerge from seclusion unless faced with a devastating disaster!

In this aspect, Nanyuan Xian was very certain!

Apart from the strength of the old ancestors, the Four Great Families, with strength only second to the former Lin Family, have claimed prominence in Da Liang City, which granted them the current status and treatment.

Now, the appearance of Divine Doctor Ding, the emergence of the detoxification medicine, disrupted the balance. The other three families have gone to extremes, attempting to prematurely bring their old ancestors out of seclusion, targeting the Nanyuan Family!

How dare they!!

Nanyuan Xian clenched his fist, his eyes reddening!

If the other three families are truly driven to such madness, the Nanyuan Family can only accept, and must withstand this challenge!

To wear the crown, you must bear its weight!

Perhaps, this is the test the Nanyuan Family must undergo on the path to becoming the dominant force!

Initially, possessing Fang Yu as this high-end combat power seemed sufficient to dominate Da Liang City.

Now, it appears that this notion has shattered.

Because... it isn’t enough!

The old ancestors of the other three families hold strength that an Instructor Diao cannot compensate for.

It is necessary... to also invite the old ancestor out of seclusion!

And then, leveraging the home-field advantage, fiercely battle against the old ancestors of the other three families!

Nanyuan Xian thought very clearly, yet felt utterly powerless.

After the other three families employed the extraordinary power of their old ancestors, all his previous plans were thrown into disarray.

It must come down to a collision of hard strength with them!

"Order to set up the altar, open the restricted area, we too must... invite the old ancestor out of seclusion!"

Since the Lin Family’s downfall, not much time has passed. All the old ancestors are in a state of severe injuries; Nanyuan Xian dare not say if they would emerge victorious in an all-out war!

With Nanyuan Xian’s instructions given, the entire Nanyuan Family mobilized.

This is a matter concerning the survival of the Nanyuan Family; no one dared to slack off.

Meanwhile, Fang Yu, having returned early to the Alchemy Room, remained unaware of everything happening.

"Ding Hui, I’m back."

Fang Yu called out as he entered.

Ding Hui’s silhouette emerged from a pile of medicinal materials stacked like a small hill, suddenly popping her head out.

She shook off the leaves stuck in her hair and revealed a sweet smile.

"Husband, you’ve finally returned. How did the medicine work for those people?"

Ding Hui squeezed herself out from the stack of medicinal materials, clutching several large twisting objects like giant earthworms in one hand.

"Not bad, many reported feeling better after taking the detoxification medicine, but we’ll have to wait a couple more days for specific results. By the way, what’s going on with you? Where are those two old chaps?"

"I sent them to the medicinal materials storehouse to find some materials; as for what I’m doing... ta-da~"

In a display-like gesture, Ding Hui pointed towards something on the table for Fang Yu to see.

Fang Yu leaned in closer, his face changing instantly.

A tumor.

It was Song Xi’s tumor.

The tumor now lay rigidly in a brocade box, unmoving, as if it had lost all life.

Fortunately, judging by the progress bar, she was still alive, but her condition was close to death.

"What happened to her?!"

Song Zhenrong was committed in following him, and not only for the people, but more importantly for his sister.

If his sister died, things would become troublesome!

"Don’t worry~"

Ding Hui tiptoed with light steps towards him, her face relaxed but she uttered shocking words.

"I merely injected her with Water Poison, causing her organs to begin to accelerate their failure."

"What?!"
