Capítulo 1560: Chapter 19: Ghost Army Order
“Hmph!”
The corners of Lin Yifan’s mouth lifted slightly, displaying an air of confidence and mastery over the situation.
“He’s laughing! Why is he laughing?”
“Could it be that he has found a way to cure the illness?”
“Impossible. He’s just a charlatan without an alchemist certification. How could he diagnose Princess Akui’s illness from a distance?”
“Exactly! He’s just putting on a show.”
…
All the physicians who came along with Lin Yifan didn’t believe that Lin Yifan had found the cause of Princess Akui’s illness because it was an impossible task that no one had been able to accomplish.
Princess Qingyan was also full of doubt, unsure whether this scoundrel really had a solution or was just pretending.
Meanwhile, the Emperor of Qiuyu Country was watching Lin Yifan’s response closely, hoping Lin Yifan had a practical cure, otherwise, it would just be another charade.
When everyone’s attention was on Lin Yifan, the Imperial Physician of Qiuyu Country reported some troubling news.
“Your Majesty, these prescriptions have all been used, and they cannot cure the princess’s illness.”
This news caused widespread dissatisfaction among the crowd.
“What? None of them are correct?”
“Impossible, this is clearly that kind of illness, how can it be useless?”
“Yeah! Are you perhaps deceiving us, pretending it’s useless so you don’t have to give up the Ox Gold Bead?”
“How dare you! The reputation of Qiuyu Country cannot be tarnished by your baseless accusations!”
The Emperor of Qiuyu Country was enraged, suddenly unleashing the pressure of the Mysterious Immortal Fifth Realm, intimidating everyone present.
The physicians below ground their teeth nervously, utterly terrified.
This was the power of a king, representing the strongest in the World of All Things.
In the World of All Things, the Realm is permitted only below the Heavenly Immortal Realm. To make any breakthrough, one must venture into a higher dimensional world for advancement.
However, some willingly maintain their realm at the Mysterious Immortal Fifth Realm to secure their position as kings, ensuring their country’s protection from invasion.
On the other hand, Lin Yifan was also taken aback. The Emperor of Qiuyu Country was too powerful to offend, at least not at this stage.
The Emperor’s fury silenced all the doubters and discontent; however, without evidence to prove it, it was still difficult to convince everyone.
Thus, the Emperor ordered the servants to bring out all previously used prescriptions, allowing the imperial physicians of various countries and alchemists from various forces and sects to verify them to see if any were incorrect.
Seeing hundreds of prescriptions, large and small, on the clipboard, each closely resembling theirs, the imperial physicians and alchemists from each force and sect calmed their dissatisfaction.
Lin Yifan closed his eyes, lost in thought, ignoring the outside world because he knew the “cause of illness.”
“How can this be? These are clearly the symptoms, why isn’t it this illness?”
“It’s really strange.”
“Could it be that we’ve guessed in the wrong direction?”
…
The imperial physicians of various countries, along with alchemists from various forces and sects, pondered deeply, feeling embarrassed and frustrated.
“Now that you have failed to complete the task, it means you have lost your qualification. You may leave!”
The Emperor of Qiuyu Country waved them off, his face filled with regret and disappointment.
The imperial physicians of various countries, along with alchemists from various forces and sects, turned away, leaving slowly and reluctantly.
“What a pity.”
“An Ox Gold Bead, just slipped away like that.”
“Without letting us take the pulse, how are we supposed to provide a treatment? This was a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for us.”
“Exactly, exactly.”
…
“Princess Akui is not ill but cursed! If you dare to touch her, misfortune will follow, bringing unimaginable pain.” Lin Yifan explained.
This statement dropped everyone’s jaws, as no one had thought of this possibility.
At this moment, the self-assured Imperial Physician came forward to mock him.
“This is clearly an illness, how can it be poison?”
“Yes, he’s spouting nonsense without the alchemist certification pendant.”
“Absurd remarks!”
…
“He’s right. Those who touch the Emperor’s daughter do indeed contract her ‘illness,’ and this is why I didn’t allow you to touch my daughter.” The Emperor of Qiuyu stepped forward to defend Lin Yifan.
He was truly amazed. While everyone else believed his daughter was ill, only Lin Yifan saw it differently; this plain-looking young man had noticed something was amiss. He was not here to fool around; he truly had a way to heal.
“What!”
All the physicians were stunned, unable to believe what they were hearing. There was no reason for it—how could some rogue without an alchemist certification possibly identify the evil affecting Princess Akui from a distance?
Still skeptical, they questioned, “What curse has Princess Akui fallen under?”
“The Ghost Army Order!” Lin Yifan responded.
“What? It’s actually this heinous curse?”
Everyone was shocked; the “Ghost Army Order” was one of the ten most malevolent curses, very popular during the Ancient Times. But due to changes over time and frequent wars, it gradually faded into the annals of history.
They knew a bit about the symptoms of the “Ghost Army Order” curse, and they bore a strong resemblance to Princess Akui’s current condition.
Because of the passage of time, they hadn’t connected the dots, thus missing the opportunity for recognition.
In fact, even if they knew Princess Akui was cursed with the “Ghost Army Order,” they wouldn’t have been able to lift it because they had no means to break it.
In the past, those cursed by the “Ghost Army Order” were granted a swift death to spare them the agony.
And now, after hundreds of millions of years, they still have no countermeasure.
“Those under the ‘Ghost Army Order’ can’t be saved, Princess Akui is probably…”
“Silence!”
The Emperor of Qiuyu Country thumped his throne, unwilling to listen to such grim outcomes.
He looked at Lin Yifan with concern and asked urgently, “Young man, you must have a way to lift the curse, right? If you can save my daughter, I will grant you wealth, power, and status, ensuring you a care-free life.”
“Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I am powerless!”
Lin Yifan bowed deeply, genuinely apologetic.
“You… you are deceiving the monarch, I can order your execution.” The Emperor of Qiuyu Country was furious, full of threats.
“Your Majesty, everything I say is honest. With my strength alone, I simply can’t lift the curse from the princess.”
Lin Yifan, unyielding to pressure, answered truthfully.
Though serious, this sentence was a turning point.
The Emperor became excited and inquired eagerly, “You mean…”
“I need the help of three Mysterious Immortal Realm experts to perform the spell and control Princess Akui.” Lin Yifan replied.
“That can be arranged, I will send people to do it at once.”
