The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Why Use a Broadsword to Kill a Chicken? (5 Updates)

Liu Zixuan laughed and said, "For the time being, the Celestial Dao Alliance won’t do much to us in the short term. Even if they take action, it will only be a probe. So we need to take this opportunity to enhance our overall strength."

"It’s easy to say if it’s the Imperial Realm or below, where elixirs can aid in enhancement. But now, we’re either at the Half-Step Emperor Realm or the Acquired Emperor Realm, and every step is immensely difficult," Zhao Yi said, frowning.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "I’m naturally aware of that, but we still have to try. Since the martial arts tournament until now, I’ve prepared a lot of good things. Although they can’t make you truly step into the Innate Emperor Realm, they will definitely play a significant role in the ultimate battle."

"At this time, even a little improvement could add a lot of certainty in the fight against the Celestial Dao Alliance, so we have to try in the time we’ve gained!"

"We all listen to you," Jiang Yunxuan, Zhao Yi, and the others said simultaneously.

"Old Master Shi San, we came in first and you came in later, so even if the Lv Family reports to the Celestial Dao Alliance, they won’t mention your Shi Family. Could you use this time to ask your family patriarch about the situation with the Celestial Dao Alliance?"

"My family patriarch anticipated this long ago. I’ll call him now, and unless there are special circumstances after the call, he’ll lead our Shi Family members to leave there,"

Shi Ke stood up and walked outside with his phone.

...

Inside the Celestial Dao Alliance.

"If Old Master Liu’s analysis is correct, Liu Zixuan only dares to be so high-profile because he has a backer and a trump card, but I can’t figure out who in the Martial Realm could be his backer," the Zhong Family patriarch asked solemnly.

The Lv Family patriarch looked gloomy, obviously eager to rush over after hearing the news of the Lv Family’s removal, but was stopped by the Willow Association patriarch.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Could it be the Dragon Spirit?"

"No," the Willow Association patriarch shook his head and said, "I previously spoke with the Dragon Spirit’s Old Wang by phone, and he clearly told me they won’t get involved in these matters for now. Moreover, you know why the Dragon Spirit split in two. Even if they were to help, they would help our Celestial Dao Alliance. Don’t forget, for the Martial Realm to unify, the Dragon Spirit contributed a lot behind the scenes!"

"So, could it be a Hidden Sect?" the Gu Family patriarch frowned and said, "Don’t forget, he was once with the Profound Sword Sect."

"But the Hidden Sect can’t meddle in the Martial Realm’s affairs just like that!" the Zhong Family patriarch spread his hands.

The Willow Association patriarch touched his lips in silence for a moment, "That’s hard to say. The Hidden Sects can’t openly interfere in the Martial Realm’s affairs, but they can in secret. If they deal with us old folks unnoticed, we wouldn’t be able to refute."

"Then what should we do? Just let Liu Zixuan run wild outside? With him present, how can we talk about unifying the Martial Realm?" the Gu Family patriarch spread his hands.

"We definitely can’t let Liu Zixuan grow. His potential and talent far exceed our expectations. Letting him grow will only add more trouble for us."

The Willow Association patriarch stood up, facing the many patriarchs, "I suggest we secretly observe him for a few days, see what he’s up to, and then send some people to probe. If there really is a presence of a Hidden Sect, we can use others to eliminate Liu Zixuan."

"Do you mean Venerable Ghost Nether?" the Shi Family patriarch asked solemnly.

"That’s right. Although it will cost us some, we have to do it for the unification of the Martial Realm," the Willow Association patriarch said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After everyone dispersed, the Shi Family patriarch’s phone rang, and he relayed the proceedings to Shi Ke.

...

Inside the Lv Family courtyard.

Shi Ke recounted what the Shi Family patriarch had reported in detail. Then he looked at Liu Zixuan, "As expected, just as you anticipated, they won’t be targeting us anytime soon!"

"Will your family patriarch leave today?"

"Yes, the patriarch just said on the phone that once the Shi Family announces it to the outside, it will make this smokescreen even more real, and make the top hierarchy of the Celestial Dao Alliance believe we have an even stronger trump card and backer!" Shi Ke said.

"Good," Liu Zixuan grinned, "If things are as your patriarch described, then we’ll inevitably be dealing with Venerable Ghost Nether later."

"He’s not easy to deal with," Zhao Yi frowned, "If he were just a martial artist, it’d be tolerable, but he’s also a master of poisons and Gu!"

"Don’t be afraid of him, I can neutralize his poisons and Gu," Ye Lianyi stepped forward and said.

Liu Zixuan pondered for a moment, "Having just you alone to guard against Venerable Ghost Nether is not enough. Since he is said to come soon, I might as well give him a strong dose, and make that smokescreen real as well!"

"Make it real? How do you plan to do that?" Huzi asked.

Jiang Yunxuan raised an eyebrow, "If it really comes down to life and death, I think my father will help!"

"Why kill a chicken with a bull’s knife? I don’t want your father to later say I rely on women," Liu Zixuan waved his hand, "Alright, let’s clean up, find a place to eat and rest, and later we’ll discuss finding a suitable place to establish our temporary headquarters!"

"No problem."

With that, everyone dispersed, leaving only Ye Lianyi and Xiaoxiao with Liu Zixuan.

"I’ve seen Xiaoxiao’s special physique in the ancient texts of the Ghost Valley Sect. Using the Ghost Doctor Secret Technique along with your medical skills, we should be able to resolve it quickly," Ye Lianyi said.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "I’ve been waiting for your help until now. Of course, I didn’t know you mastered the Ghost Doctor Secret Technique beforehand. I wanted your help because the treatment process involves using your Youthful Appearance Technique."

"Youthful Appearance Technique?" Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "What is the Youthful Appearance Technique?"

"Look at how I look now," Ye Lianyi smiled.

Xiaoxiao frowned and looked, "There’s nothing special."

"I now look about the same age as you, right? But in reality, I’m a year or two older than Zixuan, and my current appearance and skin are due to the Youthful Appearance Technique," Ye Lianyi explained.

With that, Xiaoxiao’s curiosity was piqued, and she hurried over to have a closer look.

Liu Zixuan, however, displayed a mischievous expression, "Speaking of which, we’ve slept under the same quilt, yet I’ve never seen your true face!"

"Who slept under the same quilt with you," Ye Lianyi, blushing, retorted angrily.

Back during the martial arts tournament, they did indeed share a bed, but they hadn’t taken things further as Liu Zixuan couldn’t bear to make a move after seeing Ye Lianyi’s shocking scars.

But now...
