The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Eat Them, and I Will Overlook the Past

Cheng Yuan’s eyes widened as he stared intently at the woman’s illusory figure, trying to make out her features!

The woman looked strikingly similar to Cheng Hongbing, only her features were slightly softer.

Cheng Yuan was certain, absolutely positive, that this woman had to be his grandmother!

”Grandma, I don’t blame you! I don’t blame you at all! I know you must have had your reasons!”

THUD. Cheng Yuan fell to his knees, his eyes brimming with tears. Ever since he was a child, he had envied other kids who were doted on by their grandparents. Today, he had finally met his real grandmother!

”Good child, get up quickly. This is just a Residual Soul of your grandmother’s; it won’t be able to last for long.”

Cheng Yuan scrambled to his feet.

The woman gently caressed Cheng Yuan’s cheek and asked softly, ”Good child, how old are you this year? Are you thirty yet?”

Although the woman’s voice was gentle, Cheng Yuan could detect the tension in it!

”Grandma, if I hadn’t gone to prison, I’d be a senior in college right now.”

A senior in college?

’That means her grandson isn’t even thirty yet?’

”The heavens have eyes! The heavens truly have eyes! Hongbing’s foundation was damaged in the womb. He had extraordinary physical talent but was unable to practice Cultivation. I never imagined his son’s talent would be so outstanding!”

Cheng Yuan’s expression darkened. ”Grandma, where are you now? Why was Father’s foundation damaged? Who is our enemy? Tell me! I’ll get revenge for you!!”

The woman’s expression suddenly changed drastically. Her consciousness seemed to fall into disarray, and her image flickered erratically.

”Traitors! You are all traitors!! I, Cheng Junli, swear that one day, I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes!!”

Gradually, the woman’s image faded, vanishing into the void.

Cheng Yuan tried to grasp the woman’s fading image, but his hand closed on empty air. He could only stare blankly at the space where she had been, a look of frustration on his face.

’What a pity. Grandma didn’t manage to reveal any key information.’

All he knew now was that his grandmother’s name was Cheng Junli, and that someone had betrayed her, or perhaps, her family.

Cheng Yuan murmured to himself in the direction his grandmother had disappeared, ”Grandma, don’t you worry. Your grandson will definitely find you! I will definitely avenge you!”

Cheng Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and opened the Celestial Witch Nine Extremes.

To Cheng Yuan’s surprise, the Celestial Witch Nine Extremes his grandmother had left him was slightly different from the Celestial Witch Nine Extremes performed by the skeletons.

It was a modified Cultivation Technique.

However, the modifications weren’t perfect; a few flaws remained.

This wasn’t surprising. After all, besides Cheng Yuan, no one possessed the Double Pupil, which allowed one to use X-ray Vision on Circulation Routes and directly spot any flaws.

Cheng Yuan eagerly flipped to the Fourth Technique, only to be dumbfounded.

The page for the Fourth Technique was completely blank.

But when Cheng Yuan looked at it with his Double Pupil, he couldn’t see through it clearly. He could only make out some hazy characters.

This made him realize something. ’My cultivation level must be too low. Perhaps when I reach the rank of Martial Emperor, I’ll be able to see the Fourth Technique and the content that follows.’

Since he couldn’t practice the later Cultivation Techniques for now, Cheng Yuan put the Celestial Witch Nine Extremes back into the Jade Pendant Space.

The battle in the trench below was coming to an end.

As the Evil Qi grew weaker and weaker, the skeletons’ power diminished rapidly.

With over twenty casualties, the members of the Celestial Witch Sect finally endured the agonizing quarter-hour.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The exhausted group returned to the stone platform and knelt before Cheng Yuan, panting heavily. ”We... we have not failed our mission! We have successfully passed the Sect Leader’s test.”

Cheng Yuan looked coldly at this bunch of fence-sitters. He hadn’t expected them to actually hold on, with less than a fifth of them lost.

It was clear that under desperate circumstances, everyone had unleashed their potential!

Cheng Yuan took out a handful of Elixirs and threw them in front of the crowd. ”Eat these! And I can let bygones be bygones!”

The crowd’s eyes flickered with uncertainty. They knew that once they consumed the Elixirs, their lives would belong to Cheng Yuan!

If Cheng Yuan wanted them dead, they would have to die!

But they didn’t dare defy Cheng Yuan’s command!

Elder Li gave a bitter smile, was the first to pick up an Elixir, stuffed it in his mouth, and swallowed it with his eyes closed!

With Elder Li setting the example, the others had no choice but to take the Elixirs. They looked at Cheng Yuan with expressions of resignation; from this day forward, their lives were effectively sold to him!

Cheng Yuan nodded in satisfaction. ”Now that’s more like it! From now on, you are to obey the High Priest’s orders unconditionally. Understood?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed dramatically.

Elder Li said in a grave voice, ”The High Priest is in danger! We must go and save him quickly!!”

Cheng Yuan was taken aback. ”What danger?”

”The High Priest went to suppress the Evil Vein! The Sec— ahem, that dog Wu Qinghe will definitely use this chance to launch a sneak attack! I’m afraid the High Priest might already be...”

Cheng Yuan’s face became incredibly grim. ’The High Priest is such a good old man! Even after my grandmother had been missing for so many years, he remained utterly loyal to her. After confirming my identity, he had unhesitatingly made me the new Sect Leader!’

”Go! Take me to the Evil Vein!”

Led by Elder Li, the large group marched imposing toward the Evil Vein.

=====

「Two minutes earlier」

Wutubo arrived at the Evil Vein’s forbidden grounds with a few trusted subordinates.

To deceive Wutubo, Wu Qinghe had been ruthless with himself, nearly shattering his own heart meridians and burying himself under several large rocks!

Soon, Wutubo found Qian Ping’s body and rescued Wu Qinghe from beneath the rocks.

Wu Qinghe successfully deceived Wutubo, crying out his plea, ”High Priest, Qian Ping sacrificed himself to suppress the Evil Vein! You must suppress the Evil Vein quickly! Otherwise, the Young Master will surely be in danger!”

Wu Qinghe’s performance was so sincere and heartfelt that Wutubo was moved. ”Qinghe, focus on healing your injuries. Leave suppressing the Evil Vein to me!”

Wutubo led his trusted subordinates to form a suppression array, focusing all their power on the Evil Vein!

Suppressing the rampaging Evil Vein was extremely dangerous, and Wutubo and his men were completely focused!

No one noticed the ’gravely injured’ Wu Qinghe slowly rise to his feet, appearing behind Wutubo like a ghost!

BAM!

Wu Qinghe viciously struck Wutubo’s back, right over the heart!

If Wu Qinghe hadn’t injured himself beforehand, that one palm strike would have definitely been enough to take Wutubo’s life!

Even so, Wutubo violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood! He could no longer suppress the Evil Vein and was wounded by the Evil Qi that erupted into the sky!

Wutubo’s subordinates were also caught by the blast of Evil Qi and suffered considerable injuries!

”High Priest, are you alright?”

A few subordinates supported Wutubo, looking at Wu Qinghe with fury. ”Elder Wu, why did you ambush the High Priest? Are you trying to rebel?”

”Rebel? You’re the ones who are rebelling! I am the Sect Leader of the Celestial Witch Sect! This old fossil dared to strip me of my title for some brat who popped out of nowhere! Today is the day this old geezer dies!”

Wutubo coughed up a mouthful of blood and snorted coldly. ”COUGH, COUGH. I am indeed heavily injured, but you are wounded as well. Do you think you can defeat these Elders?”

Wu Qinghe looked at Wutubo with a savage grin.

”It’s true I’m injured, but you have people, and you think I don’t? My men have already brought out that brat’s corpse! They’ll be here any second to kill you, you old dog!!”
