Chapter 26: Chapter 26
Yun Che accepted Ling Jie's embrace and all the friendly greetings of the other people of Heavenly Sword Villa and then went away. He had explained Yun Canghai having died a natural death, and without Ling Kun to verify, the people simply accepted his words.
After going to a secluded area where no one could see him, he took out the jade bottle containing the three drops of Purple Vein Marrow Quenching Fluid. He had decided where he was going to use this. Opening its cap, he covered its mouth with his right hand, and then released a significant amount of gaseous poison from the right palm's Sky Poison Pearl.
This gaseous poison immediately dissolved into the fluid in the bottle. Now, anyone that consumed the contents of the bottle would die an agonizing death.
Preparations complete, he made his way to Burning Heaven Clan. The Burning Heaven Clan had re-accepted Fen Juechen, and couldn't do anything to punish him for killing Fen Juebi since he had the protection of Heavenly Sword Villa. Fen Juechen had also received a precious herb from the Heavenly Sword Villa, through which he had broken through to 6th level Spirit Profound realm in these four months.
Yun Che arrived at Burning Heaven Clan a short time later. He didn't conceal his profound strength level anymore and unleashed his full 8th level Sky Profound realm profound aura. The guards, who were about to halt the unknown person, were terrified and quickly stood aside to let him pass.
Yun Che didn't pass however and told to one of the guards, "Tell your sect master that Yun Che has come with a very beneficial deal."
The guard hurriedly nodded and ran off. Minutes later, he returned and informed Yun Che that the sect master was willing to see him, and led him inside. The sect master had been shocked that the supposedly dead Yun Che had returned, and with cultivation of late stage Sky Profound realm no less.
However, having witnessed Xia Qingyue's dramatic rise to Emperor Profound realm, he wasn't too shocked either. Regardless, Yun Che was an important person, be it because of his talent or his current profound strength. He couldn't just deny him if he had come with a deal.
Yun Che went in and met the sect master, Fen Duanhun. After exchanging some pleasantries, he got to the point – "Senior, as you already know, I received 3 drops of Purple Vein Marrow Quenching Fluid at the recent tournament. Also, as you can see from my cultivation speed, I don't actually need it. So I would like to trade this with you."
Fen Duanhun was startled upon seeing the jade bottle in Yun Che's hand. He took it, opened its cap and verified that it was indeed full. This was astonishing – he had assumed Yun Che could gain his current strength because of the Fluid. But if Yun Che was offering to trade it, that was amazing news!
He composed himself, "Alright, what do you want in exchange for this?" Surely, Yun Che must want something very valuable. But he was willing to trade it for most things their Burning Heaven Clan had.
Yun Che said, "Senior, I want a Burning Soul Flower for a very important task. Now I don't know if you have a Burning Soul Flower here or not, but you are the most likely to have one, since it is beneficial to your cultivation method. If you give me a Burning Soul Flower, I will give you this jade bottle."
Fen Duanhun's eyes widened. They indeed had a Burning Soul Flower. In fact, the Burning Soul Flower was the most precious treasure of their sect. But the Purple Vein Marrow Quenching Fluid was also extremely valuable. If Fen Juecheng consumed it, he could break through to Earth Profound realm within a month.
Furthermore, they would be making a good relationship with Yun Che – a heaven defying genius. That alone was enough of a reason to accept this deal. He finally agreed to this deal and gave their Burning Soul Flower to Yun Che, while taking the jade bottle of Purple Vein Marrow Quenching Fluid.
Yun Che expressed his gratitude and left the place. He made his way to Blue Wind Imperial Palace. At the palace, once again, he flexed his profound strength and had the guard summon Cang Yue. The princess came running to see Yun Che, who had presumably died. She was ecstatic to see him, after all he had promised to cure her father's condition.
Yun Che immediately went to the point, "Princess, I have come to fulfil my promise. I have brought something that will definitely cure his majesty's condition."
Cang Yue hurriedly led him to her father and asked if she should call the imperial physician. Yun Che denied it solemnly, "No, don't call the physician. You see, what your majesty is suffering from is not an illness. It is a parasite – the Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite. This parasite is present inside your body, and is consuming your vitality, which would lead to your death.
The thing is, this parasite could only have been manually forced into your body, like hiding it in your meal for example. And it is so conspicuous that any decent doctor could easily see it and know how to treat it. The fact that your physician never told you about it, makes him highly suspicious."
Cang Wanhe understood what Yun Che was saying. That Gu Qiuhong was one of the people who conspired to kill him, and fed him the Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite. And he had been lying to him all this time, slowly leading to his death.
He felt betrayed, one of his closest people who he had trusted all these years had been conspiring against him and slowly killing him. He eagerly turned to Yun Che, "Can you remove this parasite yourself?"
Yun Che nodded, "Like I said, any decent doctor would know how to treat this. Here, I have found a Burning Soul Flower – the item needed to remove this parasite. With my skills, I should be able to easily treat your majesty."
Yun Che then proceeded to use his Profound Handle to remove the Parasite from Cang Wanhe's heart, using the refined version of the Burning Soul Flower. In a few hours, Cang Wanhe was on the road to full recovery. He gave Yun Che all the money he had promised.
On the other hand, Fen Juecheng was given the Purple Vein Marrow Quenching Fluid by his father and told to take it. He ecstatically took all the three drops and sat down cross legged. Before he could start meditating though, his skin turned a dirty green and an agonizing pain tore through his body. In just a few seconds, he had died.
Fen Duanhun was dumbfounded upon seeing this. Then he realized Yun Che must have poisoned the precious fluid before giving it to him. Enraged, he shouted, "Yun Che!"
