654: Chapter 643: Holy Medicine 654: Chapter 643: Holy Medicine “Cough, cough, cough, what time is it now…”
In the room of Shangguan Tenglong from the Shangguan Family of Jiangcheng, the Family Head of this grand Shangguan clan lay weakly on the bed, his face had aged significantly, and his voice was breathless and feeble.
By the bedside, his son Shangguan Yunyang and his wife Zheng Youqin stood by, caring for him.
“Dad, you’ve finally woken up!”
Seeing his father finally awaken from the coma, Shangguan Yunyang excitedly extended his hands, while the nearby Zheng Youqin also burst into tears.
The day after Ning Fan struck his spine, Shangguan Tenglong fell and did not rise again, plunging into a coma for several days.
Within just a few short days, his robust body had become emaciated, a stark contrast to his former self.
“Cough, cough, cough, you…
What’s this?!”
Shangguan Tenglong instinctively tried to rise, but it was exceedingly difficult, and lifting his hand required great effort.
Moreover, the hand he had just raised trembled and fell back down after a few seconds.
The sudden change to his body filled Shangguan Tenglong with astonishment, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Shangguan Tenglong’s expression darkened, and he looked at his wife and son with inquiring eyes.
Zheng Youqin, who was somewhat soft-hearted, didn’t dare to meet Shangguan Tenglong’s gaze and could only cover her face and cry in silence.
Shangguan Yunyang, on the other hand, clenched his fists tightly, his face full of indignation, yet he couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
“Dad…
you…
your…”
“Speak up, what exactly happened to me, cough, cough, cough!”
Shangguan Tenglong looked at Shangguan Yunyang with excited, bloodshot eyes, roaring until he coughed violently again.
“Dad, don’t get too worked up, it’s okay, even though your spine is damaged and you’re having difficulty moving, my uncle has already obtained the Holy Medicine, and you will recover soon!”
Shangguan Yunyang tried to comfort his father.
Because of the spinal injury, Shangguan Tenglong faced the risk of paralysis, but fortunately, Shangguan Tanglong stabilized his condition that very day, preventing it from worsening further.
However, a complete recovery was incredibly difficult.
Shangguan Tanglong had temporarily left Jiangcheng in search of a dose of Holy Medicine.
With that Holy Medicine, Shangguan Tenglong’s body could be repaired, as the Shangguan Family couldn’t be without Shangguan Tenglong.
And today, Shangguan Tanglong had already sent word that he was on his way back, with the Holy Medicine in his possession—Shangguan Tenglong’s body could be saved!
Thinking of this, both Shangguan Yunyang and the weeping Zheng Youqin regained hope in their eyes.
“I…
Where is Ning Fan?!”
Shangguan Tenglong thought of Ning Fan, and his recently calmed face contorted with ferocity once again.
At the mention of Ning Fan, the expressions of Shangguan Yunyang and Zheng Youqin changed drastically, and they no longer dared to speak.
They were afraid to tell him about what had happened after he fell into a coma, fearing it would upset him.
After Ning Fan left, it wasn’t just Shangguan Tenglong who was severely injured—many of the Shangguan Family’s experts were grievously wounded, and the Twin Evils had their limbs disabled by Ning Fan even before Shangguan Tenglong.
Faced with such a crisis, the Shangguan Family’s prestige in Jiangcheng plummeted, and they endured a united assault from rival families.
If not for the presence of Shangguan Tanglong still holding fort for the Shangguan Family, those people would likely have come knocking on their door by now.
This time, when Shangguan Tanglong left Jiangcheng to find the Spiritual Medicine, it was not only for Shangguan Tenglong but also for those severely injured masters of the Shangguan Family, especially the Twin Evils whose limbs had been crippled!
“Enough, enough…”
Shangguan Tenglong closed his eyes in agony.
Even without a word from his son Shangguan Yunyang or his wife Zheng Youqin, he could imagine what had happened.
Although he uttered ‘enough,’ a raging inferno of fury burned within Shangguan Tenglong’s heart, and a massive sense of resentment proliferated.
His hatred for Ning Fan had reached a peak.
The entire Shangguan Family was now facing a major crisis.
They had suffered significant losses, and all of it had been brought by Ning Fan!
“You rest well.
Uncle will be back soon.
I’ll go take a look!”
Shangguan Yunyang could no longer stay put.
He reassured his father with a forced smile and then entrusted the care of Shangguan Tenglong to his mother.
After leaving Shangguan Tenglong’s room, Shangguan Yunyang clenched his fists and, accompanied by a few people, proceeded to the great hall.
Atop the great hall, the young talents still capable of fighting gathered together.
Now, with Shangguan Tenglong bedridden and Shangguan Tanglong away, the mantle naturally fell upon the first son of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Yunyang.
Although Shangguan Yunyang, who had taken up the mantle, was still not quite equal to his father Shangguan Tenglong or his uncle Shangguan Tanglong, over the past few days he had gradually found his footing and became the backbone of everyone.
“Is there any news from Uncle?”
Shangguan Yunyang asked, looking at the indignantly surrounded people.
He didn’t mention the recent events but inquired about Shangguan Tanglong’s affairs instead.
The urgent matter at hand was how to restore the fighting force of the Shangguan Family.
Many of the Shangguan Family’s experts were waiting for Shangguan Tanglong’s Holy Medicine, especially Shangguan Tenglong, who could not afford any further delay.
Shangguan Yunyang’s capability was limited; both Shangguan Tenglong and Shangguan Tanglong needed to rise and take charge of the situation before they could jointly overcome the difficulty.
“The news from half an hour ago said he’s almost reached Jiangcheng.
It should be soon!”
Hearing this, Shangguan Yunyang nodded his head and then began discussing Jiangcheng’s affairs, planning how to deal with the schemes of rival families.
Perhaps ten minutes had passed when a figure with the aura of an immortal appeared outside the gate of the Shangguan Family’s home.
At the sight of this person, the people at the gate became excited and ran inside, shouting, “He’s back, he’s back!”
He’s back?
Who has returned?
Shangguan Yunyang was initially startled, then smacked his head in excitement and danced with joy, “Uncle is back, Uncle is back!”
Aside from Shangguan Tanglong, who else could have returned to elicit such excitement?
His father could be saved, the crippled Twin Evils could be saved, and the many masters of the Shangguan Family could soon return.
The Shangguan Family could fight back!
Shangguan Yunyang immediately led everyone out to greet Shangguan Tanglong.
Indeed, Shangguan Tanglong was back, his face beaming with smiles.
As he walked briskly towards the eagerly waiting Shangguan Yunyang and others, he said, “The Holy Medicine has been retrieved.
Tenglong and the other clan members can recover!”
“Oh, what kind of Holy Medicine can be so powerful?
May I have a look at it?”
Just as everyone was cheering, an inopportune voice came from the rooftop.
Upon hearing this voice, not just Shangguan Tanglong, but everyone present changed their expressions and looked up in astonishment.
“Hearing that the Shangguan Family had found a Saint Medicine, I was just curious.
I hope you won’t mind my uninvited arrival!”
Standing on the rooftop, Ning Fan looked down at the grim-faced Shangguan Tanglong and others, his mouth curling into a sardonic smile, revealing a row of white teeth.
