"The root cause of Mr. Shields Senior's condition is in his liver, not his kidneys. His breath pulse is blocked, so his breathing also needs to be adjusted."It wasn't that Sebastian couldn't cure the condition. However, Cillian's situation was unique. Most osteonecrosis occurred because of blockages in the blood vessels that supplied blood to the bones. However, that wasn't the root cause for Cillian. His condition was due to a severe blockage of his breath pulse meridian.The osteonecrosis was only in its early stages. If it developed further, Cillian's entire spine would be at risk of osteonecrosis. To clear the blockage of the breath pulse and the meridian, a three-foot-long needle would be needed. A three-inch silver needle wouldn't be enough.Sebastian didn't have such a long needle. It would also be very painful to use such a long needle to clear the breath pulse.Cillian was very old. If anything happened, Sebastian would feel worse."Young man, don't you think you'r
Zeke was nothing in front of Cillian, and he had no right to speak at all. He could only watch as events unfolded.Besides, he was the one who had recommended Sebastian. If there was something wrong with Sebastian, Zeke would be implicated as well.Even if he said anything, it would be of no use."Please give us all your silver needles!" the man in the suit, Gavin Horner, commanded."What if I don't?" Sebastian's tone was equally icy."Take out evidence to show that you're a doctor. Otherwise, you'll die!" Gavin's voice was devoid of warmth.Sebastian laughed out of sheer anger. Show evidence that he was a doctor?Marius watched Sebastian's conflict with the guards eagerly. He hoped that Sebastian would attack Gavin first, so that the latter would shoot Sebastian dead on the spot. Sebastian turned and said in resignation, "I'm sorry. I don't have a medical license, Mr. Fisher."Zeke got up quickly and said to Cillian, "Mr. Shields Senior, his medical license is still being in
Gavin still maintained a five-step distance from Sebastian. It was a distance from which he could both attack and defend."Mr. Shields Senior, I have no hostility toward you, but your people are not treating me very kindly." Sebastian had no choice but to ask Cillian for help. He really didn't want to injure his men."Young man, they may be my subordinates, but I need to cooperate with them to maintain my safety. I don't want them to hurt you, and I don't want you to hurt them, either," Cillian said. Cillian was in a difficult position. He had a special identity, and since the country had sent these guards to keep him safe, he had to cooperate fully."I really don't want to do so. Can you please give me a chance to explain?" Sebastian sighed exasperatedly. The only thing he could do now was to explain things clearly."Yes. Stay where you are and speak." Gavin looked warily at Sebastian. Although Sebastian hadn't attacked, he could sense that Sebastian was very dangerous."Mr. Sh
Sebastian smiled calmly and said, "Are there only three techniques in modern medicine? Physical examinations, administering drips, and operations? You should know that you're treating a human being, not a piece of meat.""You've never even been to medical school! Stop talking nonsense!" Marius yelled, pointing angrily at Sebastian."Stop arguing." Cillian stood with his hands behind his back and walked over to Sebastian. Several men in suits tried to stop him, but Cillian waved at them and gestured for them not to be impulsive. "Young man, I thank you for your concern. However, you know that paralysis would be worse than death to me." There was a determined look in Cillian's eyes. He had already made up his mind to try. "I don't have the needle." Sebastian spread his hands in resignation. A needle like that couldn't be bought in Steinberg at all."I do!" Alexander took out his medical box and retrieved a needle pouch from inside. It had been wrapped with a yellow cloth, and he
Sebastian didn't seem to hear Alexander at all. He closed his eyes slightly and began to fiddle with the needle with the tips of his fingers.In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and Sebastian's clothes were drenched in sweat. If he hadn't been practicing hard on his training, he would have found it difficult to get to that point.Using ancient energy took a huge toll on the person applying the needles. Every single second required the support of the user's vital energy."We can't let him keep going! Mr. Shields Senior has gone pale!" Marius suddenly yelled. Sebastian had been focusing completely on using his vital energy to apply the needles. Marius' shout distracted him, and his emotions were stirred into turmoil.He felt a sickly sweet taste at the back of his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood."You're despicable!" Alexander and Aaron could tell that Marius had done it on purpose.The suited men turned to look at Marius in surprise when they saw that Sebast
Several suited men ran over to help carry Sebastian onto the sofa."How do you feel, Mr. Shields Senior?" Zeke gave Cillian a towel."I feel much better! I feel as if I'm 20 years younger!" Cillian stood up excitedly and took the towel. "What's happened to Sebastian?" Cillian asked in confusion when he saw that the front of Sebastian's shirt was covered in blood and that he looked ashen."Mr. Shields Senior, that's all thanks to Marius!" Liam exclaimed angrily."Shut up!" Wyatt glared at his grandson."What's going on?" Cillian asked coldly. His eyes widened, and his expression grew thunderous. "Mr. Shields Senior, Dr. Chesney really is a genius." As soon as Zeke spoke, the Depps and several suited men glared angrily at him."Huh? What do you mean?" Cillian asked, frowning."Mr. Ballard used a technique called an ancient energy needle. I've heard that if the needle is plucked out during the process, or if anything happens to the person using the needle, the patient is sure t
"This is a book on traditional medicine. You'd better keep hold of it, because your life depends on it," Gavin said. He grabbed Marius by the collar and dragged him down the stairs.Sebastian was drifting in and out of consciousness when he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. He opened his eyes, but all he could feel was an aching numbness in his body. He couldn't move at all."Sebastian!""Sebastian!""Young man!" Cillian, the Depps, and the Holmans immediately crowded around him in concern when they saw that Sebastian was awake.Liam had already run swiftly off to the office building ahead of them, while Zeke had called the best hospital in Sunway."How do you feel?" Alexander asked in concern."I'm alright, just a little tired." Sebastian wasn't afraid that they would worry. He really did feel rather exhausted.After coughing up the blood several times, Sebastian felt as if he had made a breakthrough in his training, which had been at a bottleneck for some time now.Per
"Leave it to us, miss." Two of the men in suits carefully helped Sebastian up to the lounge on the second floor. They put him on the bed before turning to leave."You silly thing. You almost scared me to death!" Rosalie pummeled Sebastian's chest lightly. Liam had called her in a panic and told her about Sebastian coughing up blood. She had almost fainted on the spot."Perhaps I'm just too tired. I want to sleep for a while," Sebastian said, smiling tiredly. "Go ahead. Take your clothes off and I'll wash them for you."Sebastian nodded, smiling. He took off his bloodstained shirt with difficulty and handed it to Rosalie. Before she could say anything, he fell deeply asleep.…Meanwhile, Cillian was pacing up and down the hall. He was obviously still angry about Marius."People like him should be shot dead!" he yelled angrily, getting angrier as he spoke. Finally, he slammed the table hard."Mr. Shields Senior, he's your personal doctor. In those circumstances, we…" Gavin hun
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
The building where Whitney had been imprisoned was now as bright as day as the spotlights shone on it.Sebastian untied her calmly and helped her up to walk out. "Sebastian, forget about me. I'm only going to be a burden to you, and I'll only hurt you." Whitney was already very weak. Even walking seemed very difficult for her. There was no way that they would be able to escape the clutches of the people around them in her current condition. Sebastian sighed. "I see that you still don't trust me." Despite this, there was a gentle look in his eyes when he looked at her."Sebastian, I—" Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian put a finger to her lips to shush her."Let's go out," he said in a tone that brooked no argument. Whitney was startled for a moment and was about to break free of Sebastian's support when a large, firm hand gripped her arm tightly. Sebastian walked out of the cramped meditation building with Whitney by his side, looking upright and noble next to her."I
"My lord, are you going to Draconem Cathedral?" Nina and the others hastily ran to catch up when they saw Sebastian walking quickly downstairs."My lord, if we rush there overnight to rescue Whitney, we might be walking into a trap. If so, the consequences will be dire." Lyanna tried to persuade him.It would be hard to win when there were so many people on the other side. Even if they were all at the fifth level of the Celestial realm, it didn't mean that the other side would not have any experts.Besides, the terrain around Draconem Cathedral was very complicated. How could they be sure that the enemy had not set a trap there?"We must rescue Whitney today," Sebastian said heavily."My lord, the area around Draconem Cathedral is very dangerous," Nina said. "If we fall into a trap set by Sword Towers, we won't be able to rescue Ms. Sutton. In fact, we'll be putting her in more danger.""I can't bother about all that. Even if I have to walk through a sea of fire, I must rescue Wh
