In the attic, inside the main bedroom on the third floor.
Wu Mingzhong and Yue Zhenfeng’s mother, Yu Hui, were cleaning Yue Shaoting’s body.
Crack!
The bedroom door was opened, and Yue Taiming entered with Dong Tianchen and others.
"Divine Doctor Wu, how is my grandfather’s condition?" Yue Taiming asked softly.
Wu Mingzhong shook his head gently: "I can only prevent the injury from spreading, but I cannot heal it. This spiritual injury is indeed troubleso. However, I can think of soone who might be able to cure your grandfather’s injury."
"Who?!" Yue Taiming’s eyes lit up.
"My master!" A look of admiration appeared in Wu Mingzhong’s eyes.
"Your master?" Yue Taiming was surprised.
Yue Zhenting glanced at Dong Tianchen and gently tugged at Yue Taiming. Dong Tianchen ca to help cure Yue Shaoting, so discussing with Wu Mingzhong about finding soone else in front of Dong Tianchen was unavoidably embarrassing for him.
"Oh! Uncle Tian Chen, my apologies!"
Yue Taiming, too anxious, imdiately realized his mistake after Yue Zhenting’s reminder and quickly perford an apologetic bow towards Dong Tianchen.
"No worries! You are concerned about Uncle Shaoting, and I understand!" Dong Tianchen waved his hand and stepped forward to the bed, placing his hand on Yue Shaoting’s forehead.
After inspecting for a mont, Dong Tianchen frowned slightly and withdrew his hand with a grave expression.
"Uncle Tian Chen, how is it? Can you treat my grandfather’s injury?" Yue Taiming asked urgently, as everyone from the Yue Family watched Dong Tianchen with great anticipation.
Dong Tianchen shook his head regretfully: "Sorry, I’m afraid I’m not capable of treating Uncle Shaoting’s injuries. Like this gentleman here, I can only prevent the injury from worsening, but I cannot cure it! This..."
"Uncle Tian Chen, feel free to speak your mind!" Yue Taiming said with a forced smile, hiding a trace of disappointnt in his eyes.
Dong Tianchen’s expression beca serious, and he spoke in a deep voice: "Uncle Shaoting’s injury is due to a Soul Devouring Seed implanted by the Soul Devouring Group. There is a struggle occurring within his soul - a fight over the control of the soul. Although our Dong Family’s Cultivation Technique involves the application of Soul Power, the Soul Devouring Seed is planted on Uncle Shaoting’s soul. If we attack the seed, we will inevitably harm Uncle Shaoting’s soul! Even giving Uncle Shaoting a Soul Nourishing Pill is useless, as it would strengthen the Soul Devouring Seed’s power as well as his Soul Power!"
"What do we do now?!"
"Is this damned Soul Devouring Seed really incurable?"
"My grandfather he..."
"Damn the Soul Devouring Group!"
Yue Taiming and others’ expressions changed drastically, all muttering in indignation.
"There is a way!"
Dong Tianchen spoke softly, respect shining in his eyes: "There is soone who can treat Uncle Shaoting’s injuries. Back when Ouyang was afflicted with the Soul Devouring Seed, it was he who cured him!"
"Uncle Tian Chen, who is this person?" Yue Zhenting asked hurriedly.
"His na is Jiang Chen, the Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng!" Dong Tianchen said with respect.
"What?!"
"Jiang Chen?!"
"The Jiang Chen from the Jiang Family of Jincheng?!"
Yue Taiming and the others exclaid in shock, their faces showing perplexed expressions.
"You know of Mr. Jiang?"
"You know my master?"
Dong Tianchen and Wu Mingzhong spoke simultaneously.
"Divine Doctor Wu? Are you saying that your Master is Jiang Chen?" Yue Taiming was stunned for a mont, looking at Wu Mingzhong with surprise.
Wu Mingzhong nodded heavily: "Yes, Mr. Jiang is my Master. His dical skills are rare in this world. Once, there was a girl nad Qingyuan Yingzi whose illness was very similar to Old Master Yue’s, and it was Mr. Jiang who cured her!"
"Qingyuan Yingzi?! Is it really them?"
Yue Taiming and the others were dumbfounded, exchanging glances, each revealing an odd expression.
Yue Zhenting frowned and said sternly: "What are you doing? Since you recognize that Mr. Jiang, hurry up and invite him over!"
"Zhenting, that Mr. Jiang..."
Yue Taiming began with a bitter smile: "That Mr. Jiang is the one who helped Song Wanqiu break off the engagent, he has just completed the ’Three Trials’ and was taken to the back mountain by the great ancestor."
"Ah?!" Yue Zhenting exclaid in shock, staring at Yue Taiming with wide eyes.
"No, wait a minute!"
Yue Zhenting trembled all over, saying in disbelief: "Are you saying that Jiang Chen is the one who passed the ’Three Trials’? Aren’t the ’Three Trials’ supposed to be contested by peers? Then..."
At this point, Yue Zhenting turned to look at Wu Mingzhong.
Wu Mingzhong seed to understand sothing, chuckling: "My Master is only in his twenties this year, younger than all of you."
"Right, Mr. Jiang is only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old!" Dong Tianchen nodded.
"Twenty-twen-three-four years old?!"
Yue Zhenting was dumbstruck, turning to look foolishly at Yue Taiming: "Uncle, our ’Seven Stars Celestial Wolf Formation’ was broken by a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old youth? Our Yue Family’s ’Three Trials’ were passed by a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old fellow?"
Yue Taiming nodded with a bitter smile: "Yes, I wouldn’t believe it myself if I hadn’t experienced it firsthand today!"
"Heh, Mr. Jiang’s strength cannot be judged by ordinary standards."
Dong Tianchen spoke with a light chuckle: "When Mr. Jiang had just broken through to the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm, he once killed a Soul Clone of an Eight-Headed Serpent invoked by a mber of the Soul Devouring Group who had the strength of the Venerable Realm. Now that Mr. Jiang has reached the peak of the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm, it’s not surprising to if he could, let alone with the aid of the Three Talents Formation, single-handedly defeat the ’Seven Stars Celestial Wolf Formation’ led by you!"
Hearing that Jiang Chen was here, Dong Tianchen was no longer worried about Yue Shaoting’s injuries.
"What? He killed a Venerable Realm expert shortly after breaking through to the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm? Is this... is this even human?" Yue Zhenting felt a sense of shock.
"Don’t compare yourself with Mr. Jiang. According to Xiaoyu’s words, comparing yourself with Mr. Jiang, you’ll start questioning your life!" Dong Tianchen chuckled.
The mbers of the Yue Family exchanged looks, and Yue Taiming bitterly said: "It seems that after the ancestors finish their talk, we will have to go and invite the Head of the Jiang Family!"
"This..."
The faces of Yue Tingqiang and others were tinged with an embarrassed expression, having just fought with them, and now turning around to ask for help was indeed a bit awkward.
Dong Tianchen gave a faint smile without saying anything.
He was unclear about the relationship between Jiang Chen and the Yue Family and did not take upon himself to invite Jiang Chen to take action in case Jiang Chen was unwilling to help the Yue Family, which would be sowhat inappropriate.
"That..." Yue Zhenting thought for a mont, then turned his head to Yue Taiming: "Uncle, what did the great ancestor want with Mr. Jiang?"
"I’m not sure about that either, but seeing the great ancestor’s attitude towards Mr. Jiang, he probably wasn’t making things difficult for him!" Yue Taiming replied softly.
Sigh!
Yue Taiming sighed softly, a bitter tone in his voice: "This matter has blown up... forget it, let’s wait in the back mountain."
"That’s not necessary, right? We can just go look for him once they co out, can’t we?" Yue Tingqiang said sowhat unconvinced.
Yue Taiming glanced at Yue Tingqiang and said softly: "What do you know? Head of the Jiang Family is, after all, a Family Head. He ca to our Yue Family, but because he was here to help with the breaking off of Wanqiu’s engagent, he didn’t receive the proper hospitality. You even mocked and scorned him; we go to wait, not only to ask him for help in treating our grandfather but also to express our apologies!"
