"Release Third Elder at once!"
"What exactly do your men want to do, Yan Jidao? Do you wish to kill us all?"
"Let him go quickly! Third Elder is old; he can't withstand such rough handling!"
Seeing Qiu Yongnian's neck being clasped, the other three elders spoke up one after another.
Wang Qinghe's eyelids were twitching uncontrollably. Clearly, he did not expect Ye Jiu to act so decisively and swiftly.
How dared Yan Jidao order Ye Jiu around?
The only one who could command this lord was probably the Medicine God himself!
Yan Jidao cautiously glanced over at Ye Ling standing to the side.
Ye Ling lifted the corners of his mouth into a faint smile and said to Ye Jiu, "Alright, let him go."
"He's just an old man who doesn't act his age, no need to stoop to his level."
Ye Jiu then released his grip.
Qiu Yongnian collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
His already pale face was now even whiter, looking quite terrifying!
"Does anyone else wish to verify whether I am indeed the senior that Yan Jidao spoke of?"
Ye Ling's gaze swept over them as he spoke indifferently.
The elders remained silent. With the reckless Ye Jiu present, who would dare provoke Ye Ling?
If they angered the killing god and he twisted their necks, what then?
Seeing nobody spoke, Ye Ling said nonchalantly, "Take me to see those people. I don't have much time to waste here with you."
The elders remained silent still. They feared Ye Jiu, but that did not mean they feared Ye Ling!
So what if you can command that killing god? Do you really think you can also command us?
"Did you not hear the Family Head's words?"
Ye Jiu's icy voice floated over.
The five elders trembled and quickly walked towards the courtyard exit.
"These old fossils really do need a beating? Without a thrashing, they don't know how to listen!"
Ye Jiu said lightly.
As his words reached the ears of Wang Qinghe and the others, they shivered again.
Zhao Qingyun's expression froze for a moment, then he turned to Yan Jidao and said, "Fifth elder, you haven't been deceived by some charlatan, have you?"
Yan Jidao gave him a glance, completely uninterested in paying him any attention.
He understood now, this southern branch of the Medicine God Sect was nothing but a bunch of cowards who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Yan Jidao considered himself above such people and disdainful of keeping their company.
Being snubbed by Yan Jidao, Zhao Qingyun was not annoyed but simply gave an awkward smile.
Then, he turned to Wang Qinghe, smiling as he asked, "Sect Leader Wang, regarding the Family Heads' illness, have you discerned anything?"
"No, the illness of the Family Heads is very strange. Even with our abilities, we simply cannot diagnose what ailment they actually have!"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of scorn and disdain passed through Zhao Qingyun's eyes.
But that fleeting expression was clearly caught by Ye Ling.
Heart-Devouring Gu, Witches, sure enough, it's related to the Zhao family!
"The issue within these individuals is gu poison. Using conventional diagnostic methods, you naturally won't find it!"
Ye Ling spoke softly at this moment.
At the same time, his gaze remained locked on Zhao Qingyun, wanting to see his reaction.
Sure enough, upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Zhao Qingyun's expression changed dramatically.
Then, noticing Ye Ling's stare, Zhao Qingyun coughed lightly and said dismissively, "This friend, you have managed to deceive the fifth elder with your tricks, which is quite a feat."
"You wouldn't also be thinking of deceiving Sect Leader Wang and me, would you?"
"Friend, this is Gusu City, and my Zhao family is one of the most powerful families here. Don't even think about deceiving me."
Zhao Qingyun's words were laden with heavy threats.
"Exactly, we're not Yan Jidao, we're not that easy to fool!"
"Yan Jidao, have you become senile with age? Even Zhao Qingyun, despite being so young, could tell this guy is nothing but a charlatan. How could you be deceived?"
"What gu poison, what witches? They dwell deep within the vast mountains and never show themselves. Where would such gu poison come from?"
"I think this guy hasn't discerned anything at all. He's just claiming it's gu poison to confuse us!"
With the support of the powerful members led by Zhao Qingyun, the four elders of the Medicine God Sect were no longer afraid of Ye Jiu. At that moment, they began to criticize Ye Ling one after another.
"Since you don't believe it, why not let me give it a try inside, and then we'll know?"
Ye Ling's gaze swept over the clamoring individuals as he spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyun's face changed yet again, his look at Ye Ling was full of threatening intent.
