Against The Gods
Chapter 160 – Satan

"Gu Qiuhong?" Lan Xueruo's words caused Yun Che to be startled for a while, and he fell into deep thought afterward. A person who was allowed to make wounds on Cang Wanhe's body, let alone at the location of his heart, must be someone he trusted a lot or was very intimate with. Yun Che had originally thought it would be the crown prince or the third prince, or any other prince; he had not expected that the person Lan Xueruo called was Gu Qiuhong.

But according to what Lan Xueruo said, Gu Qiuhong seemed to have no reason to deliberately plot to harm Cang Wanhe. Unless…

"Yun Che ..." Cang Wanhe's expression was very complicated; he asked with great difficulty: "This type of parasite that is in the heart vessels, is it very difficult to find?"

Yun Che understood why he would ask such a question, and replied straightforwardly, "Ordinary doctors, especially those who have not studied parasitic poisons and parasitic bugs, in fact have difficulty discovering their existence. However, if Gu Qiuhong's medical expertise was as good as the rumors said, it was impossible for him to not find the existence of Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite. Of course, if he was the one who planted the parasite .. He obviously wouldn't 'find it'. ”

"I understand ..." Cang Wanhe exhaled a turbid breath. With his body leaning against the bed, his complexion was pale, as if he had suddenly become much older. “Older, no mistake; all the facts testify that the person who planted the parasite was Gu Qiuhong. This scar on my chest, exactly left behind three years ago. It was also after that day, that I was bedridden with a serious illness for three years. Yun Che had already forced the parasite out for us to see; it really existed, this was the most correct fact, and everything else. ”

At this moment, he felt that he did not deserve to be Emperor. In these three years, he had actually always been dependable, and even respected the person who poisoned him. Thinking back now, he, who was the revered Blue Wind Emperor, was actually being played in their palms like a fool.

"But, why did Master Gu do this? Our imperial family has always been on good terms with him; even Father has great respect for him. So why would he do something like that? ”Lan Xueruo still had trouble accepting it, and she tightly bit her lips.

“Maybe he has no immediate reason, but he definitely has an indirect reason. For example, he could make some sort of deal with the unfilial children of Cang Lin and Cang Shuo. Moreover…. Yue'er, you are too pure and friendly; you have always respected Gu Qiuhong, so much so that you see him as a saint. But when We came into contact with him in my early years, I had discovered that his nature was not virtuous and harmless as it seemed on the surface. On the contrary, there were times when he would secretly commit despicable acts. But the excellence of his medical expertise is unquestionable, so we always strive to be on good terms with him. But the people who want to get on good terms with him are too many; compared to that big sect, our emperor title, might not be considered very much. ”

Cang Wanhe shook his head, revealing a sad expression on his face. Even though he was the Emperor, he had actually been destroyed so far in secret; lying in bed for three whole years while facing difficulties in his bedroom, he was barely far from the dead. And if he had not “fallen sick”, how could Cang Lin and Cang Shuo dare to act recklessly; they were more than that, would not have had the chance to lead the wolves into the house.

"Yun Che, thank you. If it were not for you, perhaps even until We die, We would still not know why We died; at the end of my life, maybe we will even thank the person who hurt us because of our ignorance. "Cang Wanhe laughed mockingly," I actually doubted your previous medical skills, I was really embarrassed. ”

"Please don't say such things, Your Majesty. "Yun Che immediately waved his hand," Your Majesty, about the matter of you being infected with this parasite, I suspect, and I hope Your Majesty gives me an answer. Of course, if this matter involves the secrets of the imperial family, then His Majesty definitely does not have to answer me. ”

"Please ask. We've lived a long time. My last hope, it's all in Yue'er. You are the person that Yue'er trusted the most, so against you, We also have no secrets. "Cang Wanhe's eyes are closed. His skin was calm without turbulence.

Yun Che was moved .. These words came from the mouth of an emperor, one could imagine its weight. These few sentences projected a gloom in his heart, and more than that contained his pampering and love for Lan Xueruo. After being bedridden for three years, he finally saw what the most precious treasure he had always had in his entire life was .. Not the seat of the emperor, not his favorite people and seven sons, he said, but his only daughter.

Yun Che said slowly, "According to what I know, this Life-Binding Soul Parasite is extremely difficult to raise. Not only was the origin of the parasite hard to find even if one had a huge amount of money, in the process of raising it, only one in a thousand would succeed; all the others would die. Thus, to obtain a single Parasite Life Binding Soul Devouring Life would require a lot of time and money. And once this Parasite Life Binding Soul Devouring entered the body, it would be extremely hard to find. The victim's body will weaken, deteriorate very quickly, and will surely die within five years. The Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite would also simultaneously die together with the host, become a pool of watery blood on one's body, and leave no trace of its existence. So, this type of parasite is usually used to kill someone secretly without leaving a trace. It would make others unable to realize how they actually died, and believe that it was due to illness. ”

"But rumor has it that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are both uneasy fighting over the throne, while the Xiao Sect and the Burning Sky Clan are secretly fueling the flames. Gu Qiuhong instilled parasites in your body, it must have something to do with them. But since they were desperately hoping for His Majesty to die, why did they not use faster methods such as assassinations or poison, and instead use this kind of method that was not only troublesome, not only troublesome, but will it also take a long time to kill? If the Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Clan really had this kind of ambition, then secretly killing or poisoning the emperor would have to be more rational. The only explanation I can think of .. Is it behind the emperor, there is something that even the Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Clan fear, making them afraid to leave a trace? "

Cang Wanhe already knew what Yun Che wanted to ask in the middle of his speech. After Yun Che finished speaking, he slowly nodded. Not wanting to hide anything from Yun Che, he gently replied, "Because of the Heavenly Sword Villa. ”

"Villa Heavenly Sword?"

"The Blue Wind Imperial Family and the Heavenly Sword Villa were established on the same day of the same year. Our ancestors and the founder of the Heavenly Sword Villa are like bloody brothers with different last names. After the Blue Wind Imperial Family came to power, they continued to promote the Heavenly Sword Villa with all his efforts; straight up becoming the number one sect of Blue Wind Empire. And the Heavenly Sword Villa, has always existed as the guardian of the imperial family. Although through the passage of time, the relationship between the imperial family and the Heavenly Sword Villa gradually became distant, some treaties, never broke. They would not be involved with the movements within the Imperial Family, but if an external force threatened the Imperial Family, they would intervene. Also, if We die from murder or poison, they will definitely mobilize and investigate it to the end. ”

"… But the Xiao Sect, the Burning Sky Clan and the Heavenly Sword Villa have been called the Four Major Sects, why are they so afraid of the Heavenly Sword Villa?" Yun Che asked, in a somewhat puzzling manner.

"The Background? The Heavenly Sword Villa still has a background? "Yun Che was shocked once again. The Heavenly Sword Villa was already the number one sect of Blue Wind Empire and was already on top. They actually still have something behind them?

"Have you heard of the 'Four Great Sacred Grounds' of the Profound Sky Continent?" Ask Cang Wanhe.

"Four Great Sacred Grounds ... I seem to remember Grandfather mentioning it ..." Yun Che thought about it for a while and suddenly asked, "but, aren't the Four Great Sacred Grounds legends? Could they really exist? "

“Haha, if we talk about levels, the Four Great Sacred Grounds are indeed legends, so much so that their existence is like a myth. Even We, are not qualified to approach that level, or even have the qualifications hoping for it. The Four Great Sects of our Blue Wind Empire, in front of the Four Great Sacred Grounds, are like ants. If the Four Great Sacred Grounds were to be willing, destroying the seven empires of the Profound Sky Continent would not be a barrier. ”

“Actually there is still a .. existence like this. "Yun Che was stunned," Could it be, the background of the Heavenly Sword Villa was one of the Four Sacred Grounds? "

"really. "Cang Wanhe slowly nodded," Absolutely Monarch Sanctuary, Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, Sun Moon Divine Hall, and Supreme Ocean Palace … these were the names of the Four Profound Sky Great Sacred Grounds. Since they were there for their 'guardian' duty, they would never participate or interfere in the internal struggles of the seven kingdoms. As for the Heavenly Sword Villa, they had a relationship with the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region of the Four Sacred Reasons because the founder of the Heavenly Sword Villa, was also the eldest son of a certain senior practitioner of the Sovereign Profound Realm. But because his talent was too bad, he did not have the qualifications to stay in the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. As a result, he was expelled, and then established the Heavenly Sword Villa on this piece of land. The sword arts used by the Heaven Sword Villa, also had the shadow of 'Mighty Heavenly Sword Arts'. ”

A disciple left behind by the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, would unexpectedly establish the number one sect of the Blue Wind Empire. The Four Great Sacred Grounds, were truly unimaginable.

"Due to the ancestral relationship, every three years, the Heavenly Sword Villa would send offerings to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. At first, the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region paid no heed, but afterwards they finally accepted it; thus, establishing the relationship between the Heavenly Sword Villa and the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Although this relationship was very weak and shallow, it was still the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Even if it was just a piece, no one would dare bully the Heavenly Sword Villa, nor would they dare to provoke them. We have also heard, that the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region secretly imprisoned the all-important 'Devil' within the Heavenly Sword Villa a hundred years ago. It was clear that they valued the Heavenly Sword Villa with a certain amount of importance. ”

"Many sects of Blue Wind Empire had always fought all year long either openly or secretly, but there had never been a Sect that thought about touching the title of Heavenly Sword Villa of the number one sect. They want us dead, yet they have no choice but to worry about the Heavenly Sword Villa. So, using this type of method that will not leave any clues, in fact, is only natural. ”

After Cang Wanhe finished speaking, he let out a long sigh as fatigue spread all over his face.

Yun Che did not speak for long, and silently digested Cang Wanhe's words.

The anxious Lan Xueruo did not listen to many of the words between them and it was not what she cared about the most. He pulled up Yun Che's sleeves and nervously asked, "Yun junior brother, you still haven't told us, so is there a way to remove this type of parasite?"

Yun Che continued to be silent for a while and then slightly nodded after that, "There is. ”

"Ah——" Lan Xueruo's surprised voice shouted softly as her pair of beautiful eyes momentarily became extremely brilliant. Cang Wanhe also opened his eyes suddenly; a glint of hope was revealed in his gloomy gaze, "Yun Che, what are you saying .. right? This parasite can't be removed? ”

“All living things form a balance, all of them have something subduing them. This world, does not have parasites that can not be eliminated. It was just that, to eliminate this Soul-Battering Soul Declining Parasite, if one said it was easy, it was very easy; if one thought it was difficult …. This was also as difficult as ascending into the blue sky. '' Yun Che calmly stated.

"Then how exactly can it be eliminated?" Lan Xueruo tightly clasped Yun Che's arm as her skin flushed red with excitement, "As long as it can save father, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely still do it. ”

"The Burning Flower of Souls. "Yun Che looked at Lan Xueruo and gently said this name," Only the Burning Soul Flower petals are necessary for me to remove the Soul-Eating Soul Parasite that Swallows the Soul from His Majesty's body. Merely, this Burning Soul Flower .. was extremely rare. ”
