Medical and Martial God

Ye Daoxuan felt as if he had just swallowed fly feces. ”It seems we’ll have to change the plan,” he said. ”I’ll have them start a commotion. Ye Xiu has women in his family, right? I’ll have my men pretend to harass them to escalate the conflict, then drive Ye Xiu and his people out. That way, when we go over tomorrow and chase the troublemakers away, it will look like we’ve done Ye Xiu a huge favor. He’ll be grateful to us.”

As he spoke, he took out his phone to send a text message.

Mo Qingdi nodded. ”Kind-hearted people are often quite sentimental. If we drive those men away for him, Ye Xiu will surely be moved. He might even give us three Return to Origin Pills outright.”

Tang Buyi added, ”We should still prepare a grand gift, but I doubt Ye Xiu will accept it. After all, we’ll have done him a favor.”

The three old men laughed.

At that moment, the thirty grim-faced old men entered the mansion. They stood stiffly in the living room, completely unsure of what to do next.

Ye Xiu took the initiative to start a conversation: ”Impressive. To think that the Sha Po Lang trio, despite being cooped up in Seven Killings Valley for sixty years, has managed to train so many experts.”

Hearing this, all thirty old men looked at Ye Xiu in shock. His words implied he already knew who they were.

If that was the case, why did he still invite them inside?

”Young man, what are you talking about? I don’t understand,” the grim-faced old man said, stubbornly feigning ignorance.

”Your mission was to use the pretense of seeking lodging. If I disagreed, you were to use force to drive us out, search the entire house, find the Return to Origin Pills, and deliver them to the Sha Po Lang trio. Then tomorrow, the three of them would come and chase you away. Is that right?” Ye Xiu asked with a smile.

Holy crap!

The thirty old men were utterly dumbfounded. How could Ye Xiu possibly know our plan? What do we do now?!

Instantly, the other twenty-nine old men all turned to look at their grim-faced leader.

Ye Xiu was amused by their reactions. ”It seems you were all taken to Seven Killings Valley as children. Despite your age, this must be your first time out in the world. You have no worldly experience and lack even the most basic ability to adapt.”

The thirty old men were stunned again, a sudden panic rising in their hearts. He even knows about that? And he still invited us in? This is a classic trap! He’s planning to lock the doors and finish us off!

”Run!” the leading grim-faced old man shouted, immediately turning to flee.

The other twenty-nine men, now completely flustered, scrambled to follow him.

”What a bunch of cute old guys. You can all stay!”

Ye Xiu laughed and waved his hand. Instantly, the thirty old men, who had barely run a few steps, all collapsed to the ground. They lay motionless, as if frozen in place.

The scene stunned Qiuchanyi. ”Ye Xiu, how did you do that?”

”Just like that. It was easy!” Ye Xiu shrugged.

Qiuchanyi’s eyes widened in realization. ”Oh, so they were all weak. I saw how old they were and thought they must be powerful experts.”

An Dongye and Chloe shot her a disdainful glance but said nothing.

”Chloe, these endearingly simple old men are as naive as a blank slate. Take them to the underground forces and brainwash them,” Ye Xiu instructed.

”Yes, Young Master!” Chloe nodded.

「The next evening!」

The Sha Po Lang trio arrived at Water’s Edge, carrying large and small bags of gifts. They saw Ye Xiu was still practicing alchemy in the same spot as the day before.

The three men walked over and placed the gifts on the ground. Ye Daoxuan spoke first.

”Ye Xiu, I’ve brought Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi. They heard you could refine Return to Origin Pills and felt it was improper to come empty-handed, so they bought you some gifts. You must accept them.”

”Alright, I’ll accept them,” Ye Xiu said, standing up.

He just accepted them? Just like that?

Ye Daoxuan, Mo Qingdi, and Tang Buyi were all flabbergasted. The gifts, which they had rented, had cost over four million and needed to be returned. Now that Ye Xiu had accepted them, how would they return them?

Then they had another thought. We haven’t helped Ye Xiu drive away that grim-faced old man and his thirty men yet. Of course, he’d accept the gifts for now. Once we’ve helped him, he’ll surely be too embarrassed to keep them. He’ll definitely make us take them back when we leave.

With this in mind, Ye Daoxuan said, ”The three of us just got off the plane when we heard that many martial artists came to your house to cause trouble last night. Where are they now?”

Seven Killings Mo Qingdi added, ”I’d like to see who is so bold as to cause trouble at Ye Daoxuan’s great-great-grandson’s house. I’ll slaughter them!”

Greedy Wolf Tang Buyi declared, ”You all wait here. I’ll go round them all up.”

”I killed them all and threw their bodies into the sea,” Ye Xiu stated plainly.

Killed?

The minds of Ye Daoxuan, Mo Qingdi, and Tang Buyi buzzed as if they had been strafed by a machine gun.

Those were the disciples we nurtured for sixty years! We were planning to take them to Eternal Island to kill members of the three Judicator Families! And Ye Xiu just killed them? Did we live a spartan life in Seven Killings Valley for sixty years all for nothing?

”Ye Xiu, stop joking. I heard those men were very strong; there were more than a dozen Fifth Realm War Gods among them. How could you possibly have killed them?” Ye Daoxuan challenged.

By this point, Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi were also in disbelief. Those were masters they had painstakingly trained for sixty years. There was no way a mere 26-year-old kid like Ye Xiu could have defeated them.

”Here. Check the first text message on this phone.”

Ye Xiu tossed an old feature phone to Ye Daoxuan.

Ye Daoxuan caught it skeptically, opened the first message, and froze.

Mo Qingdi and Tang Buyi leaned in to look and were equally stunned.

The message read: ”You are to initiate trouble, harass the women in Ye Xiu’s family to escalate the conflict, and then drive Ye Xiu and his people out...”

”Now do you believe they’re dead?” Ye Xiu asked with a cold sneer.

The faces of Ye Daoxuan, Mo Qingdi, and Tang Buyi turned grim. Only now did they finally understand that Ye Xiu had been playing them from the very beginning.

”Ye Xiu, do you have any idea what the consequences are for offending the Sha Po Lang trio?” Mo Qingdi demanded coldly.

”Those thirty men were disciples we trained for sixty years. Since you killed them all, you will pay for their lives with your own today,” Tang Buyi said, his voice dripping with murderous intent.

”I never imagined the Ye Family could produce a monster like you.” At this point, Ye Daoxuan dropped all pretense and said icily, ”Ye Xiu, I’ll give you one chance. Refine one Return to Origin Pill for each of us, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, you and everyone in your family will die today.”

Ye Xiu laughed. ”Listen to you, thinking you’re so mighty. Come on, then. Let me see what the Sha Po Lang trio is really made of.”

With that, he launched an attack. An immense wave of Blade Qi erupted from his body, surging toward the three men like a rising tide.

”This—!”

The faces of the Sha Po Lang trio changed drastically. They had never expected Ye Xiu to be so powerful. They hastily unleashed their own techniques, narrowly deflecting his attack. Immediately, they switched from defense to offense, forming a triangle to surround and attack Ye Xiu.

”Oh my god, Ye Xiu is this strong?” An Dongye remarked. Since he didn’t know the true strength of the Sha Po Lang trio, however, he wasn’t overly surprised.

Chloe, however, remained calm and composed. The Young Master hasn’t even started trying yet. What’s all the fuss about?
