182: Shen Lian treats illness

Inside the great hall of the Realm Lords Mansion, Shen Lian lightly waved his Folding Fan, closing his eyes as he waited for Xu Tianao to arrive.

On both sides, the various powerful experts of the Realm Lords Mansion watched Shen Lian intently as if facing a formidable enemy, yet none dared to strike first.

This was the first time they had seen such an arrogant person, one who dared to brazenly walk into a trap after killing people from the Realm Lords Mansion.

The key was that there wasn't the slightest hint of fear or remorse on Shen Lian's face.

Lü Fang wished he could rush forward immediately and tear Shen Lian into ten thousand pieces right there, but constrained by the Realm Lord's rules, he could only suppress the monstrous Killing Intent in his heart.

"The Realm Lord has arrived~"

A loud shout came from outside the door, and a wisp of light flew into the hall.

"Greetings to the Realm Lord~"

Everyone bowed respectfully to Xu Tianao.

Only Shen Lian watched the seemingly dying old man with a look of pity.

"You killed my men?"

The moment Xu Tianao spoke, the hall was filled with an intense Aura Pressure, forcing people's shoulders to slump and causing them to sweat profusely.

Shen Lian put away his Folding Fan. Under the sweep of the Aura Pressure, the heaven and earth root and Indestructible Dao Body within him actually accelerated their circulation, causing his own Foundation to rapidly surge and improve once more.

"I killed them."

Having received the reply, the Qi currents surging around Xu Tianao became even denser than before.

"To kill people from my Realm Lords Mansion, your courage truly isn't small, boy. Do you know what consequences await you?"

Shen Lian replied indifferently, "You can execute me, but you absolutely cannot bear the consequences."

"Oh? Do you perhaps have some backing that even I, the dignified Lord of the Spirit Realm, cannot provoke?"

"Only cowards need backing. My backing has never been anyone else; it is myself!"

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Tianao burst into loud laughter.

"You are crazier than I thought, but unfortunately, a life for a life. You will surely die today."

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Shen Lian laughed instead of showing fear, his laughter filled with disdain and pity for the person before him.

Lü Fang could no longer tolerate it and shouted, "How dare you! How can you be so presumptuous in front of the Realm Lord?

Since you have admitted to being the murderer, you should pay for your actions with your life!"

After speaking, the Nether Sacred Flame on Lü Fang's body was activated again, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became so oppressive that it was maddening.

Shen Lian, however, didn't even have the desire to acknowledge Lü Fang, and spoke directly to Xu Tianao: "I wonder if you've considered one question."

Xu Tianao: "What else do you want to say?"

Shen Lian: "Knowing it's a death trap, why would I still be willing to come to the Realm Lords Mansion? Do you think I look that foolish?"

Xu Tianao: "What exactly are you trying to say."

Shen Lian turned his back: "Because in this world, only I can cure your son's idiocy."

"What did you say?"

Xu Tianao's gaze turned cold.

"Can you refine the Six Spirits Brain Awareness Pill?"

"Who told you that only the Six Spirits Brain Awareness Pill can cure your son's idiocy?

Was it the Medicine King's Medical Book, or Mu Yaoguang's rhetoric? No matter which one, they are nothing but fleeting clouds to me."

As he spoke, the heaven and earth root inside Shen Lian was being stimulated and circulating at three times the normal speed under the baptism of the Aura Pressure in the hall.

Massive Spiritual Power rapidly nourished his meridians everywhere, and his cultivation was secretly increasing at a visible rate.

Xu Tianao: "What a joke. Besides the Six Spirits Brain Awareness Pill, is there anything else in the world that can cure my son's idiocy?"

"Yes!"

Shen Lian suddenly turned around and said.

"Have you ever heard of the Great Dao Holy Hand, a technique that can cure all diseases under heaven?"

"Great Dao Holy Hand?"

Hearing this, Xu Tianao shook his head: "Never heard of it."

"Then I can only say that the knowledge of a dignified Realm Lord is truly shallow enough to be despairing!"

Lü Fang couldn't stand it any longer and shouted sternly, "Boy, how dare you be so insolent in front of the Realm Lord! Realm Lord, your subordinate implores you to execute him immediately and avenge Hall Master Yang and the others."

Shen Lian glanced sideways at Lü Fang and said unhurriedly, "So the Realm Lord's prestige is only this much, allowing a subordinate to go crazy right in the hall. It seems your position as Realm Lord is quite enviable, being so open-minded?"

Bang—

As his voice fell, Lü Fang was instantly struck in the chest by a fierce Palm Strike.

"Pfft."

He violently spat out a mouthful of blood, immediately flying backward and slamming hard against the wall.

"When I am speaking, when is it your turn to interrupt?"

He then looked at Shen Lian: "If you can truly cure my son's idiocy, I can forgive everything you've done. But if you deceive me..."

"You have no other choice now," Shen Lian interrupted him. "Mu Yaoguang is dead, and the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley has been replaced by a new person.

Now, only I in the entire world can treat your son's condition. Of course, you can choose not to believe me and execute me immediately."

Xu Tianao pondered for a moment and immediately ordered, "Go and invite the Young Lord here."

"Yes."

Before long, Young Master Xu, looking idiotic, was pushed into the hall.

Xu Tianao glanced at his son and looked at Shen Lian, saying, "You may begin the treatment. I advise you, this is your only chance to survive."

Saying this, he took three steps back and stood to the side of Young Master Xu.

However, the True Essence within his body was already secretly circulating. If he found that Shen Lian dared to harm his son, he would execute him without hesitation.

Shen Lian wasted no words, walked one step in front of Young Master Xu, and observed him quietly for a long time without making any move.

Seeing that he was slow to act, Xu Tianao gradually lost his patience: "Why aren't you starting the treatment yet?"

Shen Lian replied, "Withdraw the Killing Intent around you. Don't interfere with my observation of the patient's brain symptoms."

Only then did Xu Tianao retreat another three steps, and the circulating Power within his body also diminished slightly.

Time passed minute by minute, lasting for about a quarter of an hour.

Shen Lian suddenly raised his hand and waved out a wisp of Clear Light that sprinkled down onto Young Master Xu's head.

"Ugh~"

The Spiritual Light entered Young Master Xu's brain, immediately causing him agonizing headaches.

"Shaoqing."

Seeing his son behave strangely, Xu Tianao immediately wanted to step forward to check.

"Do not move rashly. This is the Great Dao Holy Hand technique reorganizing the nerves inside his skull. If it is interrupted by external force right now, your son will completely explode and die."

"How long will it last?"

"Another quarter of an hour. If your son is not recovered after a quarter of an hour, I will commit suicide on the spot."

Seeing Shen Lian speak with such certainty, Xu Tianao did not dare to think further and could only watch Young Master Xu quietly from the side.

Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, Young Master Xu's headache subsided, and his restless body finally calmed down.

"Father..."

"Son, you've recovered?"

When he heard Young Master Xu call him Father, Xu Tianao finally let out a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to step forward to check, Shen Lian stopped him: "Wait a moment. Let me observe carefully to see if he has any lingering side effects."

Xu Tianao had no suspicions: "Alright, please hurry."

Shen Lian leaned down and looked at Young Master Xu, a cold, sinister smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: "Young Master Xu, do you still recognize me?"

Young Master Xu looked at the man in front of him, and perhaps because his brain awareness had just recovered, he couldn't help but shake his head: "I don't recognize you."

"Think carefully again, who was it that beat you into this state?"

Hearing this, countless fragments immediately flashed through Young Master Xu's mind.

Finally, his pupils constricted, and he stammered at Shen Lian, "You, you, it was you..."

Shen Lian's face darkened: "It seems you remember. Then next, it should be..."

Boom—

Suddenly, Shen Lian struck Young Master Xu with a full-Power Palm Strike, instantly blasting him into pieces.

This sudden scene caught everyone, including Xu Tianao, completely by surprise.
