Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 95

Abe Luoxue sat within the grand hall.

As each person entered, their complexion was deathly pale, resembling that of a corpse. Their expressions looked grim, as if suffering from a terminal illness.

This sight greatly irritated her.

Even the servants who usually served tea and refreshments showed similar symptoms.

Their legs trembled while walking, and their hands shook like those of frail elderly women when pouring tea.

Unable to bear it any longer, Abe Luoxue demanded, “Can someone please tell me what exactly is happening?”

One of the high-ranking officers responded hesitantly, “Ah, my lady, we’re not entirely sure either. Ever since arriving in southern Qin Province, our health has deteriorated day by day, feeling as though our bodies are being drained.”

During this brief statement, the officer gasped for breath three or four times, appearing weak and on the verge of collapse.

Abe Luoxue took a deep breath. “Why don’t you use Medicine Pills to restore your strength?”

The officer forced a wry smile. “My lady, these symptoms started two months ago, and we’ve been relying on Medicine Pills ever since. Now, unfortunately, we have run out of supplies.”

Abe Luoxue sighed deeply. “Then open the inner treasury immediately. Restore your condition first; the secret realm’s opening is imminent, and we cannot afford any mishaps!”

After a moment of hesitation, the officer nodded.

Time swiftly passed.

Another half-month flew by.

Abe Luoxue’s heart grew as cold and depleted as their inner treasury.

The condition of Heavenly God Cult’s disciples worsened with each Medicine Pill they consumed.

Nowadays, a significant number of them were bedridden.

It wasn’t just the disciples; even Abe Luoxue’s pet fish had all turned belly-up, floating lifelessly.

Frustrated, Abe Luoxue exclaimed, “What exactly is happening here? Has someone poisoned us?”

Her most loyal subordinate shook his head. “No, I’ve thoroughly investigated. There’s no sign of poisoning or curses.”

“As for our current state, we’re completely clueless, without any leads whatsoever.”

Abe Luoxue’s spirits plummeted to rock bottom.

With the secret realm about to open and her sect in such dire straits, how could they possibly compete within it?

How would they fulfill the tasks entrusted by their clan?

Suddenly,

someone rushed over, excitement evident on their face, and exclaimed:

“Lords, I just remembered someone who might be able to help us with our current predicament!”

Abe Luoxue was taken aback.

“Who?”

The subordinate hastily responded, “I saw Elder Zhao Gou from Qinglian Sect passing by earlier. He is renowned as one of the world’s foremost healers. Perhaps if he intervenes, we could resolve our situation.”

Abe Luoxue furrowed her brow, recalling how Zhao Gou had previously offended Tang Xiaoren. Sensing unresolved issues between them, she hesitated to involve Zhao Gou further. Additionally, Zhao Gou had eradicated numerous Heavenly God Cult outposts in the past. Would he truly assist them now?

However, faced with the sea of zombie-like faces before her, Abe Luoxue knew there was no time for reservations.

“Where is Zhao Gou currently?”

Her subordinate promptly replied, “I’ve already asked him to wait nearby; he’s just outside the door!”

Abe Luoxue nodded decisively.

“Lead me to him immediately!”

They acknowledged and swiftly moved ahead.

Shortly after, Abe Luoxue met with Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou exuded an aura of transcendence, even more so now as Yama, carrying a sense of authority around him.

“Fellow Daoist Abe Luoxue greets Zhao Gou!”

Zhao Gou waved his hand dismissively. “No need for formalities. However, there’s something I don’t quite understand. Fellow Daoist Luoxue, what brings you to seek me out?”

Abe Luoxue wore a look of helplessness on her face. “The Heavenly God Cult has caused many offenses, and we deeply apologize. Rest assured, we will make amends in the future.”

Zhao Gou waved his hand again. “It’s not necessary. You impersonated the Qinglian Sect, and I’ve eliminated quite a few of your members; our debts are settled. If there’s nothing else, I have matters to attend to, so…”

Quickly interrupting, Abe Luoxue pleaded, “Fellow Daoist Zhao Gou, there is indeed something important. As you can see, my disciples seem afflicted by some unknown illness. Could you please assist in treating them? After all, you’re known for your compassionate healing, Zhao Gou! Surely you wouldn’t bear witness to people suffering without offering aid?”

Zhao Gou narrowed his eyes.

“You’re humans?”

A vein bulged on Abe Luoxue’s forehead.

However, for the sake of the secret realm and her disciples, she persisted.

“Fellow Daoist Zhao Gou, if you agree to heal my sect’s disciples, I will fulfill any request without hesitation!”

Zhao Gou paused momentarily before feigning a sigh.

“Fine, fine. Since it’s about illness, let me take a look.”

Abe Luoxue was overjoyed.

“Hurry, please come inside.”

Zhao Gou nodded.

Simultaneously, he squeezed the jade token hidden within his sleeve, sending a message to Liu Shunyi.

In one of the tall buildings at Yama Palace, upon receiving the signal, Liu Shunyi swiftly gathered Lin Wudao and several ghost-masked individuals, heading towards the palace’s storage warehouse.

They prepared themselves for what was to come.

It didn’t take long before another message arrived from Zhao Gou:

“Begin!”

Liu Shunyi immediately produced his gourd, initiating the extraction of blood essence and divine souls’ energy from the void. Under the fearful gaze of Lin Wudao and the group of ghost-faced people, he started condensing numerous blood pills and Divine Soul Pills.

The medicine pills poured into the warehouse like rain, almost as if materializing out of thin air.

Meanwhile, within the Heavenly God Cult, wails of agony echoed throughout.

Zhao Gou’s medical skills were indeed remarkable.

Under his Salvation to Myriad Beings technique,

they instantly regained their peak condition.

However, this recovery was short-lived as they soon weakened again.

Weakening, recovering, weakening, and then recovering…

The repetitive cycle felt like torture, making them wish for death.

Consequently, eerie cries filled the entire Heavenly God Cult.

Abe Luoxue, observing from the side, couldn’t help but gulp nervously.

Although she wasn’t directly affected, she could empathize with their suffering.

Some individuals reached their breaking point.

“Lord Zhao Gou, please stop healing me. Let me die; I can’t bear it anymore,” one person pleaded.

Others quickly joined in, echoing similar pleas.

Zhao Gou’s expression darkened.

“No, there is no way I’ll abandon treating my patients.”

With that, he intensified his healing efforts.

At the same time, Zhao Gou finally understood why Liu Shunyi had given him those medicine pills.

Damn, even he was struggling to keep up.

As Zhao Gou consumed the pills to sustain himself, he continued restoring the group’s condition.

Simultaneously, Liu Shunyi relentlessly crafted blood and divine soul pills.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

The Heavenly God Cult members screamed relentlessly for those ten days.

And Zhao Gou continuously treated them throughout this period.

Naturally,

the entire audience of Cultivators from Qin Province witnessed these events for ten consecutive days.

Their reactions evolved from initial shock to numbness, then silence, and finally fear.

As they observed the state of the Heavenly God Cult disciples:

Faces initially flushed with blood color rapidly turned pallid within seconds, almost like a rhythmic pulse.

Some even noticed that certain Heavenly God Cult disciples attempted suicide by secretly cutting their throats. However, in the very next moment, under the radiant glow of Salvation to Myriad Beings, they were instantly revived only to endure further excruciating torment once again.

Everyone watched in utter dread, too afraid to utter a single word!
