As a son, if he abandoned his parents in times of danger, he would be worse than a beast.
Yang Wu was a filial son. When he came back from the border, he knelt down and kowtowed to his parents. Now, it was even more impossible for him to abandon them.
Su Roumei sighed softly and said, "We can't win against them. Let's pack up and leave. Your father and Uncle Guo are both heavily injured. I'm afraid the journey won't be easy."
"Mother, don't worry. We don't have to go anywhere." Yang Wu comforted her and walked into the room to check on his father's condition.
Yang Zhennan was lying on the bed. His breathing was very weak, and his face was very pale. Yang Wu lifted his father's quilt on the spot. He saw that his father's chest was bandaged with thick gauze, and vaguely saw a trace of blood. His heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Yang Wu didn't say anything. He took out the king level healing pill that he had refined and fed it to his father.
This was a high level healing pill that he had just refined in the past few days. Its medicinal effect was very strong and was enough to save his father's life.
Yang Wu felt that it wasn't enough. He immediately ordered people to bring over a bathtub. He refined many medicinal liquids that could heal external injuries and dripped them into the bathtub. He then untied his father's bandages and soaked his father in the bathtub.
This medicinal liquid was very effective. If taken orally and applied externally, it could speed up his father's recovery.
Yang Zhennan hadn't taken the Qi Reversal Pill for long. There were still many medicinal effects that hadn't been used yet. Now, he could refine and absorb them all.
Yang Wu didn't only care about his father. He also prepared a king level healing pill and a bathtub of medicinal liquid for Guo Xiafei. He definitely wouldn't treat people who helped the Yang family unfairly.
Then, he went to check on the casualties of the Death Legion. Fortunately, they were only injured and not dead.
This time, the people of Mount Emei had come to provoke him. Most of the elites of the Death Legion had followed him to the Medicine Hall's storehouse. Only Duguang Fo, a commander of the Earth Sea Realm, was at home. If he had left the Silver Patterned Turtle, Xue Ji, and the others behind, they might have had some ability to resist.
"The defenses of the house are still too weak. Little Hei, I want to strengthen the defenses of the house. I don't want something like this to happen again." Yang Wu said to Little Hei.
Little Hei could feel the fury in Yang Wu's heart, and she made a serious promise. "Mm-hm, give me the Profound Spirit Stones today, and I'll set up a Heaven Formation for you. Even if a Heaven Realm martial artist comes, they'll have to submit to it."
Yang Wu arrived at the main hall of the Yang Family. Fortunately, the main residence was not destroyed. Lu Zhi, Xue Ji, Li Dazui, Zhou Yong, Zheng Xiaohu, Geng Jian, Huang Changjian, and other important subordinates were all gathered here.
Yang Keren did not appear. Perhaps she had already left King City.
Yang Wu looked at the people present and said faintly, "Everyone has seen what happened to the Yang Family. Our Yang Family is facing a great enemy, and they even dared to provoke the Emperor. The other party even ordered me to kneel and beg for mercy. What does everyone think?"
Yang Wu's actions were precisely to test the hearts of the people. Who was loyal and who was not? At this time, he would be able to see some clues.
"My lord, the other party has gone too far. We should fight back!" Lu Zhi was the first to stand up and say firmly.
Right now, Lu Zhi's complexion was much better than before. This was because his cultivation had strengthened his physique.
"I'll kill whoever the Commander wants me to." The second was Li Dazui.
Zhou Yong and Zheng Xiaohu also expressed their opinions. They were all members of the Death Legion and had long disregarded life and death. Now that Yang Wu was their master, they would not be disloyal.
"Commander, whoever you want me to blind, I'll blind." Xue Ji bit his needle and thread and said coldly.
Geng Jian did not hesitate and hurriedly said, "Heavenly Master Marquis, I live as a member of the Yang Family and I die as a ghost of the Yang Family."
After witnessing Yang Wu's alchemy skills, he had already prostrated himself in admiration of Yang Wu. Of course, he would not choose to leave Yang Wu at this time. He was a very principled person.
Back then, under the threat of the Medicine King Hall, he did not rely on the Medicine King Hall. Now, he would not leave just because the Yang Family was threatened.
Huang Changjian had also clung to Yang Wu's thigh with great difficulty, so he could only grit his teeth and follow to the end.
"Very good. This time, the enemy we are facing is the largest power in this land, Mount Emei. Do you still insist on following this Marquis?" Yang Wu asked again.
The three words "Mount Emei" were like the weight of Mount Tai, causing everyone's breathing to become rapid and uncomfortable. It meant that there was almost no challenge to them and that they were completely seeking their own deaths.
"Milord, are we really going to become enemies with the entire Mount Emei?" Lu Zhi reacted the fastest and grasped the main point.
If they were really going to become enemies with the entire Mount Emei, there was no suspense. Everyone should quickly disperse.
If not, there might still be a chance for survival.
"I just want you to be mentally prepared. They do not represent the entire Mount Emei." Yang Wu replied.
"That's good. We will do whatever milord tells us to do. We will not regret it even if we die ten thousand times." Lu Zhi said with a sigh of relief.
"Commander, are we going to go all out against them?" Zhou Yong asked.
"Don't worry. I don't need you to help me with these matters. The most important thing is for you to guard your home well and continuously increase your strength. It is enough for you to do your part. Other matters can only be solved by this Marquis." Yang Wu replied. Then he said, "Everyone disperse. Go and reorganize the morale of the army. I will give enough money to those who are unwilling to stay and let them leave. I will not make things difficult for anyone. Once you stay, be prepared to die at any time."
After he finished speaking, Yang Wu only asked Lu Zhi to stay and let everyone else disperse.
Among so many people, he trusted Lu Zhi the most. He wanted to hear Lu Zhi's opinion.
If it was a few months ago, how could he endure until now? He would have already killed his way to the Song Mansion.
After experiencing so many things, he had matured a lot.
"The Song Mansion bullied me. What should I do?" Yang Wu asked Lu Zhi.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in a hundred battles. My Lord, we still don't know the background of the other party. It is not advisable to act blindly without thinking. "Lu Zhi muttered.
"Are we just going to let it go like this?"
"Of course not. Their goal is to lure my Lord to their home. If my Lord doesn't go, they will definitely come again. During this time, we can send people to gather information and find out why the Song Mansion has such a relationship with Mount Emei." Lu Zhi said. He paused for a moment and said, "In addition, the other party is from the Transcendent World. They can't get involved in the conflicts of the mortal world. This point can also be made. I think the people of Mount Emei were worried about this point, so they didn't kill anyone."
Yang Wu said, "Very pertinent, but that is only an unwritten rule. If they really want to bully us, no one will dare to say anything. It seems that I still have to personally go to the Song Mansion. I can't let my father suffer this loss for no reason. Otherwise, people will think that I, Yang Wu, am easy to bully."
"My Lord, you can't. The other party must have deliberately provoked you. That place must be a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. It is the most suitable place to wait." Lu Zhi persuaded.
While Yang Wu was still hesitating, an imperial decree came to the Yang Wu Mansion and asked him to go to the palace to see the emperor.
Yang Wu has no intention to go to the palace, but Lu Zhi said from the side: "My Lord, this is a good opportunity to understand the opponent. Don't miss it."
Yang Wu thought for a moment and followed the eunuch to the palace. However, before entering the front palace, he asked Meng Bingxue to stay behind just in case. Then, he went to see the emperor alone.
Along the way, he thought a lot. Song Mansion, Prince Fu An, and Medicine King Hall were enough to give him a headache. But now, with the addition of Mount Emei, he felt a lot of pressure.
Unknowingly, he arrived at the palace and met the emperor in the Yangxin Palace Hall.
The emperor has taken off his dragon robe and was only wearing an ordinary luxurious dress. He looked very approachable.
Only the emperor was here, there was no one else.
After Yang Wu greeted the emperor, the emperor sternly said: "Yang Wu, this time, you must endure the grievances. Don't be presumptuous again."
"Huangshang, why do you say that?" Yang Wu said with a frown.
The Emperor looked at Yang Wu and said earnestly, "Yang Wu, you've disobeyed the imperial edict many times. The reason why I've tolerated you is not only because you have a Heaven Realm expert protecting you, but also because you have a mysterious expert to rely on. Moreover, you know your limits and gave me a way out, so I'll let bygones be bygones. This time, it's different from the past. Mount Emei is a force that protects the country. They have countless Kings and countless Heaven Realm experts. There are even existences that have surpassed the Heaven Realm. They are one of the giant forces in the Transcendent World.
"Huangshang, you are right. But is my small Yang Family worthy of Mount Emei's attention just because of the Song Family? Where did they get so much face from? "Yang Wu asked back.
"Minister Song's family has a daughter and a son who entered Mount Emei. Moreover, they have both become inner sect disciples." The emperor said with a bit of envy.
Although the imperial family also had people in Mount Emei, most of them were only outer sect disciples. Those who entered the inner sect did not obtain a better position. They were not as good as the Song Family's daughter and son who were doing well in Mount Emei.
"So that's how it is. But aren't the people of the Transcendent World unable to interfere with the matters of the mortal world? They are breaking the rules. Aren't they afraid that the higher-ups will punish them? "Yang Wu asked again.
"This is an unwritten rule. Moreover, so what if they know? Your Yang Family is not worth mentioning in their eyes." The emperor said. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "If it weren't for the fact that you are the youngest Heavenly Pharmacist, I would not have said these things to you. You should endure it for now. I will call Minister Song over and have your two families reconcile. What do you think?"
Yang Wu caught a trace of probing in the emperor's eyes. He reacted quickly and asked, "Huangshang, Mount Emei is in charge of Da Xia. Shouldn't they first enter the palace to see Your Majesty? Do they think that Minister Song can already represent Your Majesty? "
Yang Wu's words could be said to be an affront to the emperor's authority. However, he already had the ability to sit on equal footing with the emperor. He was too lazy to care whether or not the emperor was angry.
The emperor's sore spot was exposed by Yang Wu. His old face revealed a displeased expression as he said, "Minister Song enjoys the fortune of having children. I do not have this fortune."
"Huangshang, if I also join Mount Emei, I wonder if Mount Emei will also value me as much?"
