Chapter 620: Punishing Qiong Ji

(Unedited)

…

More than 20,000 soldiers have occupied a mountainous area near a small village bordering the capital city of Guanglo. It was late at night when the whole army suddenly descended upon the village and conquers it in one fell swoop.

Then that army poses themselves as the villagers living in that village. The general of the group immediately went out and went to the capital city to know the situation. Although he has a bad premonition, he did not want to retreat and waste this time and opportunity to strike at the Silver Moon Empire.

The plan was supposed to be simple.

To divert the attention of the Black Iron Empire from the west, the Golden Dragon Empire would send a few troops to fight in the border and claim their rights due to the neglect of the Silver Moon Empire and letting the Black Iron invade a part of the land owned by the Golden Dragon. They would just show their dominance and prowess.

However, unknown to all, this seemingly small troop is actually a large group of experts from the Dragon Empire. When that large group started moving so did the large army of more than 20,000 troops. But who would have known that those soldiers in the mid border would fall due to a landslide?

Although they have time to retreat, still decided to move forward.

The small village has enough provision for the 20,000 soldiers plus they have plundered more than that. When they conquered the village they did so many atrocities to the villagers before killing them.

…

General Woji Xang is a 40-year-old war veteran from the Golden Dragon Empire. He has commanded a large troop defending and conquering lands. As a veteran general, he knew of the danger they are going to face in the enemy land. But he also knows that if they succeed then the Silver Moon would fall in their hands. If that happens, then the Black Iron Empire would be helpless. If they are able to defeat the Black Iron Empire, then they can unify the whole land.

However, it seems that it would become a pipe dream.

This is because, as he enters the capital city. He could see no changes at all. Then suddenly he asked some bystander some questions, but it seems that the normal citizens didn't know any news about the kingdom.

He enters an inn along with some of his companions and began planning their next move.

As he walks out of the inn the next day, he suddenly noticed a peculiar building. As he observed closely, he noticed a line of people in front of that building. Each person is holding a piece of jade plaque with a number on it.

In his curiosity, he asked one of the people waiting in line.

"What is happening here?"

"Huh? You must be new in the city… this, my friend, is the Doctor's clinic. It is the most famous clinic in the capital. Many who have serious illnesses that most doctors could not cure are taken here. But lately the doctor Ji seems to be a bit picky, he would only accept those with serious illness."

"Doctor's clinic?" General Woji Xang muttered.

But a slight smirk appears on his mouth. In his mind, he is berating the small clinic and comparing it to the clinic in the Golden Dragon Empire. Although he would agree that the building looks very clean and attractive, still he did not believe that it could be something special.

He still believes that their empire is the best.

Suddenly from the corner of his eyes, he saw a few people rushing towards the clinic carrying a man on a stretcher with many knife wounds on his body.

This made the general became interested. With just one look he is already sure that the man is already dead. But he still wanted to see what this small clinic could do.

A small commotion could suddenly be heard inside the clinic. Then from the window, he saw a young man wearing a white robe coming out and began checking the patient.

Then the patient was taken inside. From that point on he could not see anything else. So the general just waited.

Around 30 minutes later, the young man walks out and the wounded man was taken out of the room. The doctor began talking to the people who took the young man in the clinic and the general could see jubilation in their faces.

"Did he… just save that person's life?" He could help but mutter to himself.

The man standing beside General Xang just gave him a smile.

"That's Young Doctor Ji. It is said that as long as you still have breath in your body… or… brain… something, he can pull you back from the grasp of death."

Upon hearing the man beside him talk with a proud expression on his face, General Xang could not help but frown.

Suddenly his eyes went wide in disbelief as he saw the man who was supposed to be already dead waving to those people talking with the doctor.

As General Woji Xang went back to the inn he already has a mental note to either kidnap that young doctor or kill him if necessary.

But of course, kidnapping him would be beneficial to the Golden Dragon Empire.

And so with that plan, he waited for the report of his subordinates.

Not long later they began to convey in secret inside his hotel room. The reports he received from his subordinates are depressing. Especially when he learned that the 8th prince was caught and that the emperor is still alive.

"How could they fail? All of those we sent are the elites and martial cultivators. How could they not kill a normal person?" the general asked with a frown.

"I heard the emperor did not die because of the young miracle doctor. In the capital, there is a doctor with a very mysterious medical skill. It is said that he could even bring the dead back to life." One of his subordinates said.

"General, since our mission is a failure, why don't we retreat? We could just kidnap that person before escaping."

General Xang was silent for a while as he began thinking of his next move. He knew that if they are discovered, then their whole army would be wiped out. Hence he agrees with his subordinate and retreat.

"Inform the whole army to retreat quietly… I will take care of that godly doctor." General Xang said with a serious expression.

"How about the prince?"

"Che… Let him die. That useless brat is not worth our lives. He could not even kill an old man. He is just too useless. After our return, we can just attack this empire with a bigger force. Let see if this empire would not fall."

That night, the only ones left in the inn are the general and two strong martial cultivators. Their plan is to observe and then strike when they see an opportunity.

They began to gather more information about the young doctor who belongs to the Ji clan.

…

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is currently facing a young man who is kneeling on the ground with an indignant look on his face.

This young man is the real Qiong Ji. According to the investigation of the palace, he was the one who told the 8th prince about Shin Jiao's identity. That is the reason why the 8th prince is so sure about him.

Plus, he plotted to take Sue Na that night but was unsuccessful. When he was seen by her, he knew that his end would be bad, so he decided to run away.

But who would have known that he would be caught by the members of the Ji clan, and be brought in front of this impostor?

"I was too kind to spare your life back then. But it seems that you do not value your own life." Shin Jiao said with a smile while calmly sitting on a wooden chair in front of his courtyard.

Sue Na and the little Ping Ping are standing beside Shin Jiao. Although she loathes the guy who raped her many years back, she could not deny that he gave her a wonderful son. But she has already spared his life once and that was the limit of her mercy.

"No, no, please… I don't want to die. It was not my fault, the prince… the 8th prince threatened me… that's right. He… he… he threatened me. I have no choice." Qiong Ji cried as he kowtows while banging his head to the ground.

Suddenly from outside of the courtyard a slightly chubby woman wade through the crowd of guards and servants and immediately run towards the young man on the ground.

"My son… my son… what happened to you?" she cried with a grievance in her tone.

"How dare you do this to my son! We will not let you go! I will tell my husband to kill you!" suddenly shouted the woman in a crazed manner upon seeing the sorry and bloody state of his son.

When Shin Jiao heard this a smirk appears on his face.

"It seems that the Ji clan is really powerful… Well, I don't mind leaving this place. The palace has already known my identity, so I'm not going to stay in this place then." Shin Jiao said.

He did not want to bully these people or fight against that foolish woman. He already gained what he needed from them, it's time to leave and move on.

He stood up and was about to leave when suddenly he stopped.

"Oh, wait… I still have to pay your son for the trouble he has caused me." Shin Jiao said.

As he lifted his hand, a small hand suddenly grabs it.

"Uncle… Ping Ping sleepy…" the small boy in Sue Na's arms suddenly grabs Shin Jiao.

With his cute eyes, he innocently stares at him making him feel at peace. But inside his mind, he could help but sigh in helplessness.

"This child has saved his father…" he just thought.

Then with a flick of his finger, he sends a needle to the lower back of Qiong Ji.

"This would make you suffer for a while." Shin Jiao said as he walks out of the manor with Sue Na and Little Ping Du in tow.

They soon arrive in a new courtyard not far from the clinic.
