Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1145 - 1143: No Other Choice

Yi Bai, Yi Nong, Yi Chang, Yi Cao, Yi Gangmu, and Yi Shengmang followed the Clan Leader's orders and obediently exited the main hall.

The group looked bewildered and puzzled.

None could guess what Clan Leader Yi Shengtang was thinking, let alone predict what might happen next.

They exchanged glances silently.

Yi Shengmang's expression was particularly grave, his face pale and devoid of color.

After all, his son Yi Tianqiu was still inside.

Unable to move, he could only lay like a fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others.

Thus.

He paced back and forth, sighing heavily, his face clouded with worry.

He frequently glanced at the tightly closed door of the main hall.

Extremely tense.

"Don't worry, with the Clan Leader around, Lin Fan won't dare act rashly."

Yi Bai, seeing his distress, coldly reassured him.

"I hope that's true... But what if even the Clan Leader..."

Yi Shengmang cut off his sentence, sighing deeply as his face was once again shadowed by gloom.

Yi Bai also fell silent.

Because he couldn't fathom Clan Leader Yi Shengtang's thoughts, he dared not speculatively guess.

After all, the bold actions of Yi Tianqiu had provoked the Fifth Sword Emperor.

Now Lin Fan was here carrying the Fifth Sword Emperor's mandate.

The situation was even more unpredictable.

"What secret did Lin Fan mention earlier?" Yi Cao asked quizzically.

But this inquiry.

No one could answer.

In the entire Shennong Clan, fewer than three people knew about this; naturally, none of them were present.

Thus, all fell silent.

"Ouch..."

A painful groan echoed from a nearby staircase.

The crowd turned to look.

They saw Yi Sheng lying on the ground like a dead dog, groaning incessantly.

Exchanging glances, they gathered around.

Yi Sheng brought this upon himself.

Despite noticing Clan Leader Yi Shengtang's unpleasant expression, he still proceeded to hit his head against a brick wall, a self-defeating act.

"Are you all right?"

Even though Yi Bai disliked Yi Sheng, he still inquired because Yi Sheng was one of the Shennong Five Generals.

"I won't... die."

Yi Sheng grimaced, clutching his chest as he muttered under his breath.

"But it seems like my rib is broken..."

"Serves you right." Yi Cao rolled his eyes and snorted.

Yi Sheng, filled with anger, tried to get up to kick Yi Cao, but the movement only caused him intense pain. He yelled loudly, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"Come on, hit me." Yi Cao taunted gleefully.

"Just you wait." Yi Sheng glared at him with eyes wide open, teeth gritted.

Seeing Yi Sheng was mostly unharmed, Yi Bai stood up.

"General Gangmu."

"Huh?" Yi Gangmu was stunned, not expecting Yi Bai to address him suddenly.

"You've encountered Lin Fan multiple times; you should be quite familiar with him."

Yi Gangmu paused for a moment and nodded. "I suppose I am."

"What kind of person is he really?"

Confronted with the question.

Yi Gangmu scratched his head vigorously, showing a troubled expression.

True, he had crossed swords with Lin Fan many times.

He was even defeated by Lin Fan.

However.

His understanding of Lin Fan was limited to the battlefield: brave, fierce, brutal, ruthless.

As for other matters.

He didn't know much more than Yi Bai and the others.

Yi Gangmu shook his head helplessly.

"I've only fought him on the battlefield, not familiar with other aspects. As for him knowing some kind of secret, I know even less..." He paused, looking towards the main hall. "However, the Clan Leader should manage it well, so let's not worry unnecessarily."

Yi Bai felt disappointed.

He had hoped to uncover some unknown truths from Yi Gangmu.

"Seems like this can only be solved by the Clan Leader himself."

He sighed, turned his head, and left without looking back.

The others followed his lead, supporting the incapacitated Yi Sheng, and departed from the main hall entrance.

Only Yi Shengmang remained.

He continued pacing back and forth.

It wasn't until silence enveloped the main hall that he reluctantly left, returning home.

Even upon returning home.

He didn't rest.

Through various inquiries and word from inside, he confirmed his son Yi Tianqiu was temporarily incarcerated by Yi Shengtang.

The reason for his imprisonment remained unknown.

He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, spinning in circles.

Yet he was helpless, and could only worry in vain.

Meanwhile.

He also learned that Lin Fan had settled in an inn in the city and seemed to be staying just for the night.

Yi Shengmang's brows furrowed, his eye corners twitching slightly.

"Dad."

A light-hearted voice called.

Yi Shengmang looked up, it was his daughter Yi Siyu.

She seemed unaware of the situation, skipping over with an innocent smile.

Yi Shengmang nodded anxiously, sighing heavily.

Yi Siyu noticed her father's unhealthy complexion and sullen face, continuously sighing.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, go to your room and rest."

"Dad, are you hiding something from me again? Last time, if I hadn't gone to Heaven City looking for brother, he might not have returned."

"That's enough."

Yi Shengmang interrupted Yi Siyu impatiently.

His face was clouded with worry, unease written all over.

Yi Siyu paused, her mind working.

"Did brother get into trouble again?"

"Sigh..."

"Most likely, brother spends his days idling, only dreaming of overnight fame, he might be obsessed."

"Don't say that about your brother."

"It's true, yet you won't allow me to say it, you spoiled him."

Yi Siyu pouted, sulking.

However, seeing Yi Shengmang's pale face, she felt sorry for him; after all, he was her own father.

"What trouble has brother gotten himself into now?"

"Sigh... Your brother has been locked up by the Clan Leader."

"Huh?! Why?"

"Your brother made a mistake outside, and someone's come seeking revenge."

Yi Shengmang sighed repeatedly.

"If we don't save your brother tonight, I'm afraid it's unlikely he'll come through safely."

Yi Siyu's innocent face was suddenly overtaken with fear, eyes wide with shock as she looked at Yi Shengmang, her lips trembling.

"How... how could this happen..."

Just as she spoke.

Suddenly.

Yi Shengmang's eyes flashed with a sinister, cold, indifferent light.

Endlessly staring at Yi Siyu.

Yi Siyu felt her body tremble, her heart skipped a beat.

An inexplicable feeling enveloped her, making her scalp tingle.

Her father's fierce, harsh gaze was something she'd never seen before.

"Siyu, you're the only one who can save your brother now."

"Me?"

"Just like you went to Heaven City; your brother's life is truly in your hands this time."

Yi Siyu looked at Yi Shengmang's serious expression and deep eyes, swallowing heavily.

She had never felt such enormous pressure before.

Crushing her to the point she almost couldn't breathe.

However.

Yi Siyu also knew that if she did not act, her brother's life could be at risk.

After a moment of silence.

She took two deep breaths to calm down.

"Dad, what should I do?"

"The person seeking revenge is staying at an inn in the city; the room number is written on the paper, keep it safe."

Yi Shengmang, seeing his daughter agree, hastily scribbled a note and sneakily slipped it into Yi Siyu's hand.

"Remember, it must be a surprise attack, catching him off guard." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"A single strike to save your brother."

Yi Siyu's hands began to tremble, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Dad... Are you asking me to kill someone..."

She looked at her open palm, aside from the note, it held a gleaming dagger.

A chill seeped into her heart, her spine felt cold.

She had never killed anyone...

Yet.

Yi Shengmang shook with urgency, solemnly stating.

"There's no other choice."
