Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 189 Conspiracy
After Shen Feng’s figure disappeared from sight.
Ji Yunhan looked at Uncle Zhong, whose face was flushed with excitement, something she had never seen before. She couldn’t help asking, "Uncle Zhong, just how powerful is Senior Shen?"
Although she had had contacts with the Taiyi Sect, she was not very clear about the power divisions within the Martial Arts World.
Uncle Zhong’s hand holding the paper shook uncontrollably. "Eldest Miss, from the beginning to the end, I have been underestimating Senior Shen! Every time Senior Shen displayed a little of his strength, I had to reassess his power, but now I can’t estimate it anymore."

"Do you know? The Cultivation Technique I wrote on the paper was originally just an ordinary but above-average technique within the Taiyi Sect, but after Senior Shen casually modified it, if this technique were made public in the Martial Arts World, it would be enough to cause a sensation throughout the entire world."
"This modified Cultivation Technique is invaluable. Senior Shen has already saved my life once, and now he has helped me modify the technique. I can never repay this debt of gratitude in my lifetime."
After being silent for a few seconds, Ji Yunhan asked, "Uncle Zhong, who is more formidable, the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect or Senior Shen?"
Uncle Zhong shook his head, "I haven’t seen the Sect Leader take action in nearly ten years, however, the Sect Leader couldn’t modify a Cultivation Technique on a whim."
"If Senior Shen’s cultivation has surpassed the Innate level by now, then I fear that there is likely no one in the entire Martial Arts World who could be his opponent."
Upon hearing this.
Ji Yunhan’s lips pressed tightly together. If Shen Feng’s strength was really as formidable as described, then the Taiyi Sect would be nothing to fear in his presence.
Uncle Zhong cautioned, "Eldest Miss, we are in his debt time and again. For now, we cannot seek Senior Shen’s help any further, only maintain a good relationship and find a suitable opportunity to approach him again. That is the most prudent approach."
Ji Yunhan nodded in agreement with Uncle Zhong’s words. The auction was to be held tomorrow night, and she had some preparations to make.
Uncle Zhong and she left the villa together.
Shen Feng did not step out of his room again, on the path of cultivation, besides relying on destiny, all that’s left is one’s own efforts.
…
As night gradually fell.
The Gu Family, one of Hong Kong Island’s major families, had always been one stride behind the Ji Family. If not for the Ji Family, the Gu Family would have long since been the foremost family of Hong Kong Island.
At this moment
in a luxurious villa of the Gu Family on Hong Kong Island.
Family Head Gu Qingshan and his son Gu Tianhua wore expressions full of reverence.
Gu Qingshan, forty-eight years old, had some graying hair at the back of his head. His eyes appeared exceedingly somber, and he radiated the aura of a superior.
Gu Tianhua, twenty-five years old, gave off an unpleasant vibe, resembling a dissolute scion at first glance.
As the second-ranking family of Hong Kong Island, there were few who could command such respect from this father and son duo.
Before them sat two men in their thirties.
One of the men, with entirely white eyebrows, was named Fei Chao. The other, with a disdainful expression on his face, was named He Kun.
Fei Chao and He Kun were disciples of the Great Elder of the Taiyi Sect, and both of them had cultivation at the third layer of the Acquired State.
The Taiyi Sect was a well-known and respected school within the Martial Arts World.
However, the Great Elder had a flawed breakthrough several years ago, which left a hidden illness in his body.
Every year on the seventh of July, his body would feel like a blazing furnace, as if it caught fire, and the condition grew worse with each passing year.
Later, the Great Elder found a radical cure, claiming that if he were to unite with a woman possessing the Ultimate Yin Constitution, his hidden illness could be healed.
And the Great Elder discovered that Ji Yunhan was the one with the Ultimate Yin Constitution.
To eliminate the illness, he needed her to cooperate willingly, for coercion would be futile.
If the Ji Family were willing to submit to the Taiyi Sect, then the Great Elder had plenty of ways to make Ji Yunhan obedient.
After all, once the Ji Family submitted, Ji Yunhan would soon be stripped of her rights to control the Ji Corporation, and then, by threatening Old Master Ji’s life, would Ji Yunhan dare not to comply?
However, Ji Yunhan had always been unwilling to submit to the Taiyi Sect, and furthermore, the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect had some connections with the Ji Family, hence, as a reputable and righteous sect, the Taiyi Sect naturally couldn’t commit such an ungrateful act.
Besides, no one within the Taiyi Sect was aware of the Great Elder’s hidden ailment.
The one who had previously made a move against the Ji Family was the Gu Family. Upon learning that Ji Yunhan was nearly blasted to death, the Great Elder was inflamed with rage and wished he could crush the Gu Family to death.
However, to make Ji Yunhan obedient, the Gu Family still had to be utilized.
His disciples, He Kun and Fei Chao, had been injured in a Martial Arts World competition years ago and could no longer make a breakthrough in their cultivation for the rest of their lives.
Even if they continued to stay within the Taiyi Sect, it was pointless.
This time, the Great Elder had arranged for the two of them to cooperate with the Gu Family.
Individuals in the Martial Arts World could not force a secular family into submission, and the moment He Kun and Fei Chao took action, they would violate the rules set by the Martial Arts World, rendering them outcasts in the entire Martial Arts World.
However, since their cultivation could no longer advance for the rest of their lives, what was the point of staying in the Martial Arts World?
The Great Elder had everything arranged for them, just waiting for them to assist the Gu Family in swallowing up the Ji Family, and then he would immediately arrange for them to flee abroad.
The Gu Family had already agreed to submit to the Taiyi Sect immediately after swallowing up the Ji Family.
By then, without the support of wealth, how could Ji Yunhan afford the life extension fees for the Taiyi Sect? She would have no choice but to follow the Great Elder’s words obediently.
The Gu Family had confirmed that they would make their move against the Ji Family right after the auction tomorrow night ended.
Generally, no one wished to leave the Martial Arts World; He Kun and Fei Chao saw no hope, which is why they chose to follow the Great Elder’s arrangements.
Gu Qingshan and Gu Tianhua felt immense pressure; the people of the Martial Arts World were not ones they could afford to provoke.
"Mr. He, Mr. Fei, I’ve heard that Uncle Zhong by Ji Yunhan’s side is not simple. Are you confident about tomorrow?" Gu Qingshan asked carefully.

It seemed he was not aware of Uncle Zhong’s true strength, even less so of He Kun and Fei Chao’s capabilities.
He Kun mocked, "Uncle Zhong? What’s he? If he chooses to be cooperative tomorrow, then, out of respect for his once being a disciple of the Taiyi Sect, we could spare him. But if he refuses to comply, then he’d better prepare his coffin, seeing as he has already left the Taiyi Sect."
Upon hearing He Kun’s words, Gu Qingshan and Gu Tianhua were completely reassured, dreaming of making the Gu Family the number one family on Hong Kong Island; this was their only chance to overwhelm the Ji Family.
Gu Qingshan and Gu Tianhua knew that after helping them this time, He Kun and Fei Chao planned to flee abroad to lay low.
Gu Tianhua said respectfully, "Senior He, Senior Fei, each year our Gu Family will deposit a sum of money into your bank cards. It’s a small token of gratitude, and we hope you will accept it."
A smile finally appeared on the corners of He Kun and Fei Chao’s mouths. Once they left the Taiyi Sect in the future, everything would depend on themselves. Naturally, it was excellent news that the Gu Family was willing to give them money each year.
Fei Chao waved his hand dismissively and said, "Relax a bit, what’s the Ji Family anyway? There’s only Uncle Zhong. There won’t be any surprises tomorrow; you guys just wait to become Hong Kong Island’s leading family!"
