Chapter 813 – Everyone that You Treat and Save… Isnst Human (2/2)
The Cinnabar Pill truly was effective for those casualties from the battlefield who had suffered damage to their limbs or lost too much blood, but it absolutely could not cure all illnesses.
Like Zhexiu's illness, or Nanke's illness.
Whether it was the Tide Rush of Blood or a chaotic soul, they were all extremely rare and strange illnesses.
Zhexiu asked, ”Can my illness be cured?”
Chen Changsheng was a superb doctor and had an unmatched understanding of the meridians.
If not even he could cure Zhexiu's illness, then it really was incurable.
Chen Changsheng did not attempt to deceive him, whispering, ”The outlook isn't very good.”
Zhexiu appeared very calm, or perhaps numb. After hearing this answer, he only fell quiet for a few moments, then asked, ”What about her?”
Chen Changsheng shook his head and replied, ”I still haven't found a method. I'm just using medicine and needles to help stabilize her soul.”
”It looks to me like she's not a true imbecile.”
”There are thousands of ways for one to be an imbecile.”
”Then how will she wake up?”
”I only hope that she can have some lucky encounter and wake up herself.”
Zhexiu looked into his eyes and asked, ”Have you ever thought about what you will do if she really does wake up?”
Chen Changsheng found it impossible to imagine such a sight. He pondered the question for a few moments, then said, ”I'll think about it when the time comes.”
Zhexiu continued, ”Even if she's never able to wake up, if someone recognizes her, it will still cause a big problem.”
Chen Changsheng understood his meaning.
Nanke was not an ordinary person.
She wasn't even a human.
She was a demon, and a Demon Princess at that.
One recalled that even with Su Li's power and means, he still had to conceal his love for a Demon Princess from the world and hide his daughter's name while raising her in Mount Li.
And he was not Su Li.
Of course, his situation was different from Su Li's. He did not have that sort of relationship with Nanke.
But if he always kept Nanke at his side, he would have to face this problem eventually.
Zhexiu's question made him recall that Demon Princess who had died in the Longevity Sect's cold pool, which made him recall the conversation between two generations of Demon Lords on that night in the mountains.
The young Demon Lord had been very shocked to see the Heavenly Demon Horn, as everyone in Xuelao City believed that that Demon Princess had taken this divine object with her when she left for the human world twenty-some years ago. Who could have expected that after all this time, the Heavenly Demon Horn would reappear in his father's hands?
Compared to all those other events that took place that night, this was just a trivial matter, but now that he thought about it, a great deal of information was concealed behind it.
If the Heavenly Demon Horn really had been taken from Xuelao City by that Demon Princess, then after her death, it was highly likely that the Heavenly Demon Horn should have been lost in the Longevity Sect.
How had it reappeared in the Demon Lord's hand?
He then recalled that little monster he had encountered in Hanqiu City that seemed to have flowed out of the Yellow Springs.
An ancient legacy that not even the Li Palace possessed? Just which place in the world could preserve it? It naturally had to be the equally ancient Longevity Sect.
Chen Changsheng silently thought, his expression turning grave.
It was naturally important to find that person in the Orthodoxy that was working with the Imperial Court, but it was even more important that he find the person that was colluding with the demons.
This question had been on his mind ever since that night in the mountains.
With someone's help, the young Demon Lord had managed to easily deceive countless people and changes places with the original young array master on the stretcher.
Now that he looked at it, could it be that it was not a person that was working with the demons, but a sect? Or perhaps a noble clan?
