Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

"Master Ye, what are we to do?"

Chen Lin's face was clouded with worry, losing all demeanor fitting of a Chen Family ruler.

Although she was currently the greatest authority in the Chen Family, Madam Lu was ultimately her mother, and she could not be disrespectful to her mother.

Ye Fan knew that Chen Lin hoped he would take action. He looked at Madam Lu and said, "If it weren't for your daughter's sake, I would have turned around and left with your tone of voice!"

"You should thank your lucky stars you have a good daughter, since you don't trust me, then let Divine Doctor Tang start immediately. I'll stand here but let it be said upfront, if he can't cure your husband later and you want my help, you'll have to kneel down and beg me!"

He was the Junior Pavilion Master of the oldest sect in the world, the Medicine God Pavilion, founded with the purpose of healing the dying and injured, to aid others and oneself.

Now, with Head of the Chen Family Chen Qiankun's life hanging by a thread, and considering Chen Lin had indeed been a great help with the medicinal materials, Ye Fan couldn't just stand idly by.

"Me, kneel to you? In your dreams!" Madam Lu said with disdain.

But with her husband critically ill, Madam Lu did not have the luxury of wasting words on Ye Fan. She turned to Tang Renjie and said, "Divine Doctor Tang, ignore this boy and please save my husband now!"

"Mm!" Tang Renjie nodded.

He could see that Chen Lin and her brother Haonan trusted Ye Fan unconditionally. He didn't want to cause a rift between the Chen siblings and Madam Lu due to a rivalry between practitioners.

Glancing at Ye Fan, Tang Renjie said to the girl, "Duoduo, come, give me a hand!"

"Yes, Grandpa!"

The young girl Tang Duoduo stuck out her tongue at Ye Fan, her immature face filled with disdain.

With Tang Duoduo's assistance, Tang Renjie conducted a full-body examination on Head of the Chen Family, Chen Qiankun.

The more Tang Renjie examined, the more alarmed he became. He originally thought that Chen Qiankun merely suffered from food poisoning, but to his shock, he didn't find any sign of poisoning on Chen Qiankun.

"Grandpa, what's going on? Head of the Chen Family isn't poisoned! But his body is dark and purple, just like poisoning!"

"Could it be that this guy was telling the truth? Head of the Chen Family has been possessed by an evil spirit!" Tang Duoduo's youthful face grew solemn.

Shadowing Tang Renjie day in, day out, she, despite her young age, had exquisite medical skills, not inferior to those of Three-Pin Grade experts and professors, and was even more knowledgeable than them.

Upon hearing this, Tang Renjie snorted coldly, "Nonsense!"

"Oh!" Tang Duoduo closed her mouth, looking aggrieved.

Tang Renjie knew the situation with Chen Qiankun was very tricky, so he simply said, "Duoduo, get the silver needles!"

"Right away, Grandpa!"

Tang Duoduo quickly opened Tang Renjie's medical box and took out a pack of silver needles.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

On receiving the silver needles, Tang Renjie's expression turned solemn, and he quickly inserted three silver needles into three major acupoints on Chen Qiankun's body.

After the three silver needles were in place, Tang Renjie continued to take out fifteen more silver needles, and they rapidly pierced other acupoints on Chen Qiankun's body.

With eighteen silver needles inserted, Tang Renjie continuously manipulated their positions, and the critically ill Chen Qiankun let out a stifled moan.

Ye Fan glanced over and was slightly surprised, "Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles, no wonder he is touted as a divine doctor. Possessing such a life-saving technique, he can indeed preside over a region and bless the populace!"

"Eh! You actually recognize Grandpa's signature Ultimate Techniques, Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles. It seems you're not just a professional swindler, you know a thing or two about medicine!" Tang Duoduo exclaimed in surprise.

Indeed, what her Grandpa Tang Renjie used was the Resurrection Technique, Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles, which could forcefully pull someone back from the brink of the Ghost Gate Pass.

It was precisely because of this Ultimate Technique that her Grandpa secured his position as the number one Divine Doctor in the Central Plains.

Ye Fan's surprise was fleeting, and he mocked, "If Head of the Chen Family had contracted a serious illness, it might have been possible to save him using the Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles!"

"Too bad, Head of the Chen Family has been possessed by an evil spirit. Even if you stimulate the body's potential to bring him back, it will only be for a brief moment of lucidity, and afterwards, the patient's condition will become even more severe!"

Born into the Medicine God Pavilion, Ye Fan had seen all manner of life-saving techniques before.

He was well aware that the Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles mainly stimulated the body's potential and enhanced its resistance, allowing for a fighting chance and more time for resuscitation.

Unfortunately, Head of the Chen Family, Chen Qiankun, was not suffering from a serious illness to begin with.

"Young man, do not be too confident in your words, lest you end up getting slapped in the face later," Tang Renjie said arrogantly.

One reason he had never failed since he began practicing was this very signature Ultimate Technique, Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles. He refused to believe he couldn't save Chen Qiankun with it.

Madam Lu also shouted, "Exactly, just wait to be slapped in the face!"

"Cough, cough!"

Suddenly, Patriarch Chen, Chen Qiankun, started to cough violently as he slowly opened his eyes.

"I... What happened to me?"

Chen Qiankun glanced around and asked in a faint and pale voice.

"Qiankun, you're awake!" Lu Jing exclaimed, overjoyed.

Seeing Chen Qiankun awake, Tang Renjie said with disdain, "Youngster, do you see? This is the power of the Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles!"

"I, Chen Qiankun, have practiced medicine all my life and have never made a mistake. There won't be any accidents this time either! As for you, such a young charlatan, you are truly detestable!"

Chen Lin and her brother Chen Haonan were also shocked, their mouths agape, as they saw their father, Chen Qiankun, wake up.

"Master Ye, what... what is going on?" Chen Lin asked.

"Yes, Master Ye!" Chen Haonan was also startled.

Ye Fan said indifferently, "Although your father is possessed by a malevolent spirit, the Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles are indeed effective! However, this is only temporary respite!"

"You brat, you're talking nonsense!" Lu Jing pointed at Ye Fan and shouted angrily.

The young girl Tang Duoduo also huffed, "Why are you so mean? Can't you stand seeing others doing well? Just as the head of the Chen Family wakes up, you curse him!"

"Duoduo, do you see? The world is declining, and human hearts are not what they used to be! Be extra cautious when you walk in Jianghu in the future!" Tang Renjie said, staring at Ye Fan.

"Mhm, Grandfather, I understand!"

Tang Duoduo nodded solemnly, looking at Ye Fan with a face full of disgust as if Ye Fan were a despicable swindler.

Pfft—

However, just as Tang Renjie finished speaking, the recently revived Chen Qiankun's face changed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Blood sprayed out as Chen Qiankun clutched his chest, his eyes darkened, and he once again fell into unconsciousness.

What was most shocking was that Chen Qiankun's pale face suddenly turned pitch black, and the blackness quickly spread toward the crown of his head.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jing gasped, "Divine Doctor Tang, why did Qiankun faint again?"

"As I said just now, it's only a brief rally," Ye Fan stated indifferently.

Tang Renjie, however, was in complete disbelief, "Madam Lu, don't listen to his nonsense, let this old man administer the Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles once more!"

Tang Renjie quickly stepped in front of Chen Qiankun, and once again, eighteen silver needles pierced into Chen Qiankun's body.

To Tang Renjie's astonishment, the Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles were ineffective this time, with the black qi speeding up its spread toward the crown of Chen Qiankun's head.

"Impossible! This can't be happening!" Tang Renjie's aged face was filled with disbelief.

Ye Fan said coldly, "The Resurrection Technique works once and becomes ineffective afterward. You still want to try a second time? Hah! Wait until the black qi covers the crown of his head, and Chen Qiankun will be completely finished!"

"Ah?"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Lu Jing became frantic, "Divine Doctor Tang, please do something quickly!"

"Alas, Madam Lu, I am truly sorry, but at this point, there is nothing this old man can do," Tang Renjie sighed.

Having used his famous Ultimate Technique, the Life-Reviving Eighteen Needles, and still being unable to save Chen Qiankun, any further attempts were sure to be futile.

"What... what do we do now?"

Realizing that Tang Renjie was at a loss, Lu Jing paled, almost fainting.

Seeing this, Chen Lin hurriedly said, "Mom, don't panic, there's still Master Ye. Master Ye hasn't made a move yet; maybe there's still hope for dad!"

"Yes, yes, Master Ye!"

At this moment, Lu Jing could only clutch at straws, turning to Ye Fan and saying, "Master Ye, I was wrong before. Please quickly do something to save my husband!"

"You realize you were wrong now? Weren't you trusting only Divine Doctor Tang and not me just a moment ago?" Ye Fan scoffed coldly.

Lu Jing, pale as a sheet, begged, "I was blind and could not see the truth before, offending Master Ye. I earnestly implore Master Ye to take action!"

"You want me to take action?"

Looking at Lu Jing, a sharp glint burst from Ye Fan's eyes as he said, "Alright! Kneel down and beg me!"
