Jiang Yunfeng Is Poisoned

Jiang Chen was planning to go home when he suddenly saw a commotion ahead.

"This is bad, our cargo has been hijacked by the Bloodfire Mercenary Group! Many people are injured, and quite a few have died." Just then, panicked voices rang out.

Many members of the Jiang Family turned pale upon hearing this.

There were many Jiang Family members escorting the cargo. Hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression also changed slightly. He remembered his father, Jiang Yunfeng, was also responsible for transporting the goods.

Jiang Chen hurried forward and saw many people being carried back. He even saw his father, Jiang Yunfeng, being carried back.

"Dad." Jiang Chen quickly stepped forward, but Jiang Yunfeng was in a coma and showed no reaction at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still breathing, one might have thought he was dead.

"What happened to my dad?" Jiang Chen quickly asked the person next to him.

"The Seventh Elder fought fiercely with the Bloodfire Mercenary Group to protect the cargo, but our Jiang Family members were no match for them. The Bloodfire Mercenary Group snatched the cargo, some people died, and the Seventh Elder was also poisoned and fell into a coma," a Jiang Family guard said.

Their group consisted of over thirty people. Thirteen had died, and the others had sustained injuries of varying degrees.

After the Bloodfire Mercenary Group seized the goods, they didn't pursue and kill everyone, fearing a counterattack that could lead to greater casualties for the mercenary group.

They demanded that the Jiang Family hand over their valuables, and the Bloodfire Mercenary Group would not make things difficult for them.

To save their lives, the other Jiang Family members handed over their cargo and storage bags, keeping only their weapons.

The Bloodfire Mercenary Group was primarily after wealth. Once they obtained what they wanted, there was no need to fight the Jiang Family to the death.

"What?" Jiang Chen's face changed drastically.

What would happen if Jiang Yunfeng didn't make it?

Soon, everyone brought Jiang Yunfeng home, and the Jiang Family was shaken.

Jiang Tian, the head of the Jiang Family, also learned of the cargo being hijacked and his expression changed drastically.

Furthermore, Jiang Yunfeng being poisoned and in critical condition was a major event that shocked the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family would send a batch of goods to Yunluo City to sell, and then bring in a new batch of goods to sell in Qingyue Town.

This time, their cargo was hijacked by the Bloodfire Mercenary Group. They had tried their best to avoid the Bloodfire Mercenary Group's territory, but this time, they could only attribute it to bad luck.

"Master Wang, how is his condition?" Jiang Tian asked the alchemist before him.

This Master Wang was a second-tier alchemist and a relatively well-known physician in Qingyue Town.

"Alas, this poison is quite tricky. I don't know what kind of poison it is. My abilities are limited, and I can do nothing. You should be prepared," Master Wang sighed.

He was only a second-tier alchemist and couldn't identify this poison.

"How could this happen!" Jiang Tian stumbled back several steps.

Jiang Yunfeng was his youngest son. If something happened to Jiang Yunfeng, he would be extremely worried.

Jiang Chen's face also turned pale, followed by anger.

The Bloodfire Mercenary Group had truly enraged Jiang Chen this time.

Upon hearing Master Wang's words, Li Huirong also burst into tears.

After Master Wang left, Jiang Tian didn't know what to say.

An atmosphere of sorrow permeated the air.

"No, I don't believe there's no one who can save my father. I know someone who can save my father." Jiang Chen suddenly remembered Elder Huo.

He had been so worried about Jiang Yunfeng's accident just now that he hadn't thought of Elder Huo immediately.

Elder Huo had previously said that if he won first place in the Qingyue Town Genius Competition, he would teach him alchemy.

In Jiang Chen's eyes, Elder Huo's strength was unfathomable; he was definitely not a simple person.

Now that there was no other way, perhaps Elder Huo could save Jiang Yunfeng.

"Chen'er, who do you think can save your father?" Jiang Tian's eyes lit up with hope upon hearing this.

"Elder Huo from the Martial Arts Pavilion," Jiang Chen said.

"What? Elder Huo?" Jiang Tian was stunned.

"Grandfather, do you know this Elder Huo?" Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Tian.

"Honestly, I don't know much about this Elder Huo. He came to the Jiang Family twenty years ago. After arriving, he has always served as an elder in the Martial Arts Pavilion. His strength is very high, and he doesn't require any compensation, only a place to live. His strength is definitely above the Martial Grandmaster Realm, but as for detoxifying, I'm not sure if he can do it," Jiang Tian said.

Jiang Tian dared not offend someone whose strength surpassed his own. Moreover, Elder Huo had no ill intentions. He had stayed in the Martial Arts Pavilion all these years, and the Jiang Family had been at peace.

Jiang Tian rarely bothered Elder Huo.

Elder Huo had also stated that he would not interfere in the affairs of the Jiang Family.

Jiang Tian didn't understand Elder Huo either.

"I'll go find him." Jiang Chen said.

"Chen'er, Elder Huo's strength is immense. I'm not his match either. If you go find him like this, what if..." Jiang Tian said with a wry smile.

"Grandfather, there's no other way now. I can't just stand by and watch my father suffer," Jiang Chen said.

With that, he headed straight for the Martial Arts Pavilion.

Jiang Tian felt helpless; perhaps Elder Huo might have a solution.

This Elder Huo, he couldn't see through him at all.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at the Martial Arts Pavilion.

"Elder Huo, my father has been poisoned and is currently unconscious. I implore you to save him," Jiang Chen said, approaching Elder Huo and requesting his help.

"Why should I help?" Elder Huo asked indifferently.

"As long as you can save my father, you can name any condition," Jiang Chen gritted out.

"Your current strength is too weak. However, you're quite an interesting young man. How about this: I can save your father, but you have to promise me three things. Mind you, my conditions are extremely harsh and might even lead you to a place of no return. You must think carefully before answering me," Elder Huo said.

"I agree. Please, Elder Huo, save my father," Jiang Chen readily agreed.

"As long as Elder Huo saves my father, I am willing to agree to your three requests. If I break my word, then I, Jiang Chen, shall die by the wrath of heavenly lightning," Jiang Chen immediately swore the Heavenly Oath.

This was him showing his resolve.

The Heavenly Oath in this cultivation world was quite effective. All those who broke it met a terrible end. From the moment they broke their word, everything would go wrong for them, and they would eventually die a gruesome death, not living past twenty years.

Therefore, many people placed great importance on the Heavenly Oath.

"Very well, then I will act once," Elder Huo said calmly.

Elder Huo thought highly of Jiang Chen, so helping him once was no trouble.

"Let's go, lead the way," Elder Huo stood up.

"Yes, thank you, Elder Huo," Jiang Chen was overjoyed.

It seemed this Elder Huo was truly extraordinary.

A short while later, Elder Huo arrived at Jiang Chen's home.

"Elder Huo," Jiang Tian was also surprised. He hadn't expected Jiang Chen to actually invite Elder Huo.

After all, Elder Huo might not even give Jiang Tian face, yet he was actually invited by Jiang Chen.

"Mm, saving him is the priority," Elder Huo said.

"You all should leave first. I need to examine the patient," Elder Huo shooed them away.

He didn't want others to witness some of his methods for saving people.

So, everyone left the room one after another.

Li Huirong waited outside with a worried expression.

"Mother, don't worry. Father will definitely be alright," Jiang Chen comforted his mother.

"Mm," Li Huirong nodded slightly.

Half an hour later, the room door opened.

"Elder Huo, how is my father's condition?" Jiang Chen stepped forward and asked.
