“Ha ha ha…”
Tuoba Ye burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke ever. His face was full of disbelief. “I’ll die in seven days? Ha ha… Why don’t you tell me how I’ll die?”
Everyone present felt the absurdity of the statement.
Even the people from South Jiang Manor couldn’t help but wonder if Terra Su was talking nonsense.
Tuoba Ye looked perfectly fine. How could he possibly die within seven days?
“You don’t believe me?”
Terra Su said calmly, “About three days ago, did something go wrong with your cultivation?”
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ye was momentarily stunned, his heart pounding in disbelief!
“Nonsense! My cultivation has been going perfectly, nothing has ever gone wrong!”
Tuoba Ye shouted with authority, but a flicker of doubt flashed in his eyes.
“Still denying it? Do you dare to press three inches below your left shoulder?”
Terra Su sneered.
“Ridiculous, why wouldn’t I dare?”
Tuoba Ye said loudly, then immediately pressed lightly three inches below his left shoulder.
In an instant, Tuoba Ye’s face changed dramatically. The piercing pain from his left shoulder made cold sweat break out on his forehead!
“How is this possible?”
Tuoba Ye couldn’t believe it. He bit his lip hard to stop himself from crying out in pain, but his heart was filled with doubt and fear!
In fact, three days ago, something did go wrong during his cultivation. At that time, he felt he had an epiphany and tried to break through to the tenth level of the Condensing Origin Realm, but he failed and caused his True Essence to flow through the wrong meridians. Fortunately, he stopped in time, avoiding serious injury.
When Terra Su first mentioned that something went wrong with his cultivation, Tuoba Ye’s initial reaction was that the kid was guessing blindly!
But then Terra Su told him to press three inches below his left shoulder. At first, he didn’t take it seriously, but the intense pain made him realize that things might not be as simple as he thought.
Could there really be something wrong with his body, just as Terra Su said?
“No way, no way, this kid must be guessing.”
Tuoba Ye tried to reassure himself, but at that moment, he heard Terra Su’s voice again:
“If you still don’t believe me, press five inches above your tailbone on your back.”
Tuoba Ye wanted to ignore Terra Su, but his hand moved uncontrollably to the spot Terra Su mentioned and pressed lightly.
Immediately, Tuoba Ye’s face changed again!
The pain was excruciating, like a knife twisting into his bones!
Cold sweat drenched Tuoba Ye’s back. No matter how stubborn he was, he had to admit that his condition was indeed abnormal, very abnormal.
“Three days ago, when something went wrong with your cultivation, you already fell into a state of Qi deviation.”
Terra Su said calmly, “The reason you haven’t noticed is because you’re in the midst of Qi deviation. By the time you realize it, your True Essence will have completely reversed in all your meridians, and you’ll die suddenly, beyond the help of any medicine.”
“What?”
Tuoba Ye’s heart trembled. Qi deviation?
Under normal circumstances, he would have scoffed at such words. But now, Terra Su had accurately pointed out two points of Qi deviation and even mentioned the exact date of his cultivation mishap. He couldn’t help but believe it.
Tuoba Ye wasn’t a fool. Could Terra Su have guessed so many things correctly by mere coincidence? That was impossible.
“You’re lucky because I can save you.”
Terra Su said calmly.
“You can save me?”
Tuoba Ye was torn internally. He wanted to avenge Zhang Yan, but his own life was equally important. Besides, what good would revenge be if he were dead?
After a moment, the desire to live won out. Tuoba Ye looked directly at Terra Su, as if making a firm decision, and said in a deep voice, “If you can save me, I will forgive all your previous offenses!”
“Elder Tuoba!”
Joshua Wang immediately spoke up, both shocked and angry. Wouldn’t this mean that the Wang Family had been busy for nothing?
“Hmm?” Tuoba Ye looked over, his eyes filled with menace. To him, Joshua Wang was just a minor character. How he acted was not for Joshua Wang to question.
Joshua Wang broke into a cold sweat under Tuoba Ye’s glare. He didn’t want to die meaninglessly, so he reluctantly shut his mouth.
Elder Tuoba turned back, looking at Terra Su with a hint of expectation.
But Terra Su shook his head, “Elder Tuoba, you’re a dignified ninth-level Condensing Origin Realm expert. Is your life worth so little?”
Tuoba Ye was stunned, then anger surged in his heart. But unfortunately, his life was in Terra Su’s hands, and he couldn’t afford to be tough.
He had to suppress his anger and said, “Then, what do you want?”
Terra Su smiled slightly, “That depends on your performance.”
Tuoba Ye was extremely frustrated. He was the Grand Elder of the Iron Armor Gate, a figure who dominated the area. Usually, he was the one manipulating others. When had he ever been at the mercy of a fifth-level Condensing Origin Realm youth?
But his life was in Terra Su’s hands.
Tuoba Ye’s expression changed rapidly, looking very colorful.
Finally, as if making a decision, he coughed and adopted a humble posture.
“What are your orders, Young Master Su?”
Pfft—
As soon as Tuoba Ye said this, everyone couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
That was the Grand Elder of the Iron Armor Gate, a ninth-level Condensing Origin Realm expert, calling Terra Su ‘Young Master Su’!
Was the world falling apart?
This was too surreal!
“Are you planning to kill me after I cure you?”
Terra Su smiled faintly.
“Heh, heh, how could that be.”
Tuoba Ye forced a laugh, but the flicker in his eyes seemed to confirm Terra Su’s suspicion.
Terra Su chuckled. Tuoba Ye thought he was a cunning old fox, but he was still too naive to outsmart Terra Su. “I will treat you, but I won’t cure you all at once. Everything depends on your performance.”
With that, Terra Su pointed at Joshua Wang.
“I find him displeasing. Slap him for me.”
As soon as Terra Su said this, Joshua Wang’s face turned green.
He had gone through great lengths to inform the Iron Armor Gate, then waited tirelessly outside South Jiang Manor’s gate, finally managing to bring Tuoba Ye here. And now, Tuoba Ye was siding with Terra Su…
How could Joshua Wang not feel aggrieved? How could he not feel miserable?
“Elder Tuoba, please reconsider!”
Joshua Wang’s voice trembled. His eighth-level Condensing Origin Realm cultivation was nothing compared to Tuoba Ye’s ninth level. But he didn’t want to be slapped in public; that would be utterly humiliating.
