Chapter 157 Qian Renxue's plan is thwarted
Tang San and his group left the palace and returned to Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang knew Tang San very well and knew that the words he said in Emperor Xue Ye's bedroom had a different meaning.
"Xiao San, tell me the truth, is there really no cure for the poison in His Majesty's body?"
Tang San turned around and looked at Yu Xiaogang with a firm and complicated look:
"Teacher, the toxins in your Majesty's body are indeed extremely complex. Although I can identify a few of them, the other components are like the secret passages in a maze, which are difficult to figure out.
At this moment, if I rashly take medicine, not only will it fail to detoxify, but it may accelerate the spread of the toxin, which will be an irreparable disaster.
It's a pity that Senior Dugu's medicine garden is no longer there, otherwise there would be some chance. All I can do now is to try to delay the spread of the poison and buy some time for Your Majesty."
Ning Fengzhi listened quietly with a frown on his face.
He knew that Tang San had tried his best.
It is a cruel fact that Emperor Xue Ye’s life is about to come to an end.
Tang San looked at Ning Fengzhi and said seriously:
"Uncle Ning, you should have noticed something strange in the palace. Those guards are not simple."
"Yes, those people have all been replaced. They are all His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's men."
"Don't you find it strange?"
Ning Fengzhi frowned.
"Xiaosan, what do you mean?"
Tang San's eyes became firm.
"Uncle Ning, you should have felt that the situation in the Tiandou Palace has reached a critical point. His Royal Highness's behavior is becoming more and more suspicious. So many spirit masters above level 70 are definitely not something that the Tiandou Empire can easily train. There may be the shadow of the Spirit Hall behind this."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was shocked.
"Xiao San, do you suspect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is colluding with the Spirit Hall?"
Tang San nodded.
"Perhaps he was coerced by the Spirit Hall, or perhaps he was colluding with the Spirit Hall. No matter which result, the safety of your majesty, and even the future of the entire Tiandou Empire, will be in jeopardy."
Ning Fengzhi sighed softly.
He also knew that Tang San's guess made sense.
If Xue Qinghe really has the support of the Spirit Hall behind him, then it would be impossible to expect the Weapon Bureau to create hidden weapons with great lethality such as the Zhuge Divine Crossbow for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"Master, Xiao San, I actually have a way to extend your majesty's life, but the price is..."
"What's the price?"
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang asked almost at the same time, their eyes focused on Ning Fengzhi's face, waiting for the answer that could change everything.
"This method is a taboo technique that has been guarded by my Ning family for generations. It must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. It can temporarily restore damaged vitality, but the cost is vitality and life span. Even if it succeeds, Your Majesty can only live for another two or three years."
Ning Fengzhi's voice was calm, but every word revealed his inner struggle.
Tang San said:
"Uncle Ning, two or three years is a short time, but it is enough for us to find out the truth and respond. If we do nothing, we can only watch the Tiandou Empire fall into the hands of Xue Qinghe, the puppet, and eventually be controlled by the Spirit Hall."
Yu Xiaogang also nodded, expressing his agreement:
"Master Ning, Xiao San is right. At this critical moment, I can't care about so many things. I am willing to bear all the consequences with you."
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect suffered a severe blow, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was destroyed, and Yu Xiaogang and Ning Fengzhi stood on the same front.
We all know that once Emperor Xue Ye passes away, there will be no place for them in the Tiandou Empire.
Tang San said:
"Uncle Ning, I am also willing to share the responsibility with you. To be honest, my father is also in Tiandou City."
Ning Fengzhi was a little surprised.
"Haotian Douluo is also in Tiandou City?"
"Yes. I will go back to the Haotian Sect with my father and persuade the clansmen to come out and deal with the Spirit Hall together. But if the power of the Tiandou Empire falls into the hands of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, there will be no point in me doing this." After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang looked at each other.
They all knew what it meant for the Haotian Sect to come out.
Although the Haotian Sect was hunted down by the Spirit Hall and hid its tracks, and its branches also fell apart, it did not hinder its reputation as the number one sect in the world.
Tang San continued:
"My father told me that, except for the Sect Master, the five living elders of our Haotian Sect have all reached the Titled Douluo level. If my father can return to the sect, then our Haotian Sect will have a total of seven Titled Douluo."
"With seven Titled Douluo, this sect truly deserves to be the number one sect in the world." Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.
Yu Xiaogang smiled and said:
"The seven Title Douluo of the Haotian Sect, plus the world's number one assistant master, Sect Master Ning, and the two Title Douluo, Sword and Bone, make a total of ten strong men. Even the Spirit Hall would not dare to act rashly against such a powerful spirit master force."
"Teacher, the golden triangle formed by you, Teacher Erlong, and Dean Flanders is not equivalent to a Titled Douluo?"
Yu Xiaogang smiled, did not deny it, and continued:
"If your majesty can recover and lead a million soldiers, everyone will be united and will not be afraid of the Spirit Hall at all."
Tang San nodded in agreement.
For him, this is a great opportunity.
By moving the Haotian Sect to Tiandou City, joining forces with the Qibao Liuli Sect, and at the same time being protected by the Tiandou Empire, the sect's power can be rapidly expanded.
Those old members who once left the Haotian Sect might return to the sect.
The revival of the sect is just around the corner.
However, the condition for all this is to cure Emperor Xue Ye and regain control of the Tiandou Empire.
Ning Fengzhi no longer hesitated.
No matter what, he couldn't just watch Emperor Xue Ye leave.
As long as Emperor Xue Ye is still around, he will be supported.
"Master, Xiao San, we will go to the palace early tomorrow morning. We must keep this matter secret. Even if we cure His Majesty, we cannot let him know what specific method we used."
"Oh, I see."
~~~~~~~~
Early the next morning, Tang San and Ning Fengzhi came to Emperor Xue Ye's bedroom again.
At this time, Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng were not there, only Prince Xue Xing was there.
Ning Fengzhi said:
"Prince, we already have a way to treat His Majesty, and it requires Tang Yin and I to complete it together. However, the treatment process is a bit complicated, and no one is allowed to disturb you, so please..."
Prince Xuexing immediately understood what Ning Fengzhi meant and was pleasantly surprised.
"Then I'll leave your Majesty to you two."
"Your Highness, you are too kind."
"I'll be guarding outside. No one is allowed to enter while you are being treated."
"Thank you for your understanding, Prince."
Afterwards, Prince Xuexing personally guarded outside Emperor Xueye's bedroom.
Not long after, Xueqinghe and Avalanche also came.
Knowing that Tang Yin and Ning Fengzhi were treating Emperor Xue Ye, Qian Renxue did not take it to heart.
Two hours later, an old and deep voice came from Emperor Xue Ye's bedroom.
"Prince, Qinghe, Avalanche, all three of you come in."
Hearing that familiar voice, Qian Renxue felt as if struck by lightning, her back went cold, and she felt unbelievable.
"Xue Ye is alive?!!"
