Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Open the Coffin

"Great Witch King!"

Qisha and the others collectively saluted the figure in the black robe before them, their reverence no less than that shown to King Shao.

Great Witch King?

Upon hearing this title, Chen Xuan instantly understood.

The original Wei Xuanming seemed to have been some sort of Witch King, which implied that this Great Witch King before him should be from the Witch Cult, just like Wei Xuanming!

Indeed, only those from the Witch Cult could possibly perform such a vile method as the Seven-Star Life Extension.

The Great Witch King approached Chen Xuan, pointed at the rosewood coffin before him, and asked, "Do you know who is lying inside this coffin?"

Chen Xuan’s expression was impassive, "Of course, I know."

The Great Witch King’s aura was overpowering, "Good to know. With my skills, I could only manage to temporarily preserve the Emperor’s last wisp of soul. These incompetents at the National Medical Institute have exerted enormous efforts for naught, accomplishing nothing."

"Tell me, what skills do you possess that make you so sure you’re better than us?"

Those National Doctor Saints, berated as incompetents by the Great Witch King, didn’t dare to utter a word. Their gazes were all fixed on Chen Xuan, awaiting his response.

Chen Xuan remained calm, "I have no special skills, nor did I claim to be better than any of you. If you truly want me to save someone, I can only say I’ll give it a try."

"Give it a try?" The Great Witch King scoffed.

Experimenting with the Emperor’s life?

That’s an utterly preposterous joke.

Tan Yuanhai and the others were quite disappointed upon hearing Chen Xuan’s response.

The scene of Chen Xuan falling from a hundred meters high had astonished them, but now they felt their earlier surprise might have been an overestimation.

A doctor from a small place, after all, is from a small place.

When King Shao heard Chen Xuan’s answer, a genial smile appeared on his lips.

"If the Nanjiang Earl has agreed to treat my father, we of the Dong Family should be thankful. How could we dare to ask for more?"

"Don’t worry, Nanjiang Earl, just do your best!"

Tan Yuanhai and those nearby, upon hearing King Shao’s words, felt as if they had seen a ghost.

Do your best?

When those from the Shendan Institute were unwilling to wade into these murky waters, and you used our family members’ lives as leverage, why didn’t you tell them to do their best?

When you delivered a slap that caused serious injuries to those Shendan Institute healers because of their insufficient treatments, why didn’t you tell them to do their best?

When you had an argument with those Shendan Institute healers who didn’t wish to continue treatment and ended up having them executed, why didn’t you tell them to do their best?

Why, do you make an exception only for this young doctor from Huai City?

Why? King Shao, as clever as he is, naturally wouldn’t easily make concessions to anyone.

The reason he was so courteous to Chen Xuan surely had a basis.

In fact, even before this, King Shao had already investigated Chen Xuan’s medical expertise.

From Chen Xuan’s treatment of various difficult diseases for the people of Huai City, to Chen Xuan defeating the entire Shendan Institute on his own, and then Chen Xuan earning the esteem of the four great doctors of the two Jiang regions within just over half a year and becoming the number one Divine Doctor of the two Jiangs!

All these cumulative events and information had been meticulously collected by the Greedy Wolf Hall of the Dong Family, and every detail was presented to King Shao.

It was based on this information that King Shao had gained a relatively clear understanding of Chen Xuan’s medical skills.

Of course, if it had only been these achievements, they wouldn’t have been enough to win King Shao’s favor.

What ultimately convinced King Shao that Chen Xuan could treat the Eastern King were the revival cases similar to bringing the dead back to life, and particularly, how Chen Xuan revived Song Qiuhuan, the sister of the Western Territory War God—making King Shao convinced that Chen Xuan was the only choice to save the Eastern King!

One does not slap a smiling face, and with King Shao’s posture so humble, Chen Xuan had no grounds for refusal even if he wanted to.

Moreover, it seemed that Chen Xuan simply did not have the right to refuse!

Without further hesitation, Chen Xuan directly said, "In that case, open the coffin!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Witch King’s face changed instantly, and he immediately objected, "Absolutely not!"

"The Emperor now only has a remnant of his soul left, barely sustained by this Soul Suppressing Coffin."

"If we rashly open the Soul Suppressing Coffin, there’s a very high chance it will cause the Emperor’s last trace of soul to dissipate completely."

"If anything truly happens to the Emperor’s life, even if you die a thousand times, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the responsibility!"

It wasn’t just the Great Witch King who thought so; Tan Yuanhai and the others also believed that King Shao would definitely not agree to Chen Xuan’s proposal.

All this time, although they were also trying to find ways to heal the Eastern King, they had never seen the Eastern King’s face from the beginning to the end.

Taking the pulse was only done through an arm extended from a side opening in the coffin, and administering medicine was through a small hole on top of the Soul Suppressing Coffin.

Now, this young doctor had come along, and without even understanding the situation thoroughly, he was asking to open the coffin; the proposal was indeed too bold.

However, to the Great Witch King and Tan Yuanhai’s surprise, after King Shao heard Chen Xuan’s proposal, he only hesitated for a few seconds before making an immediate decision.

"Good, someone, open the coffin!"

The Great Witch King was shocked, not expecting that King Shao would have such trust in this Chen Xuan.

But since it was King Shao’s decision, the Great Witch King found it inappropriate to say more.

"As you command!"

Qisha received the order and immediately instructed his subordinates.

Afterwards, several minions holding axes directly chopped at the iron chains on the Soul Suppressing Coffin...

Meanwhile, outside the Eastern Royal Manor.

At the easternmost part of the manor, several tall batteries stood.

The heavy firepower on these batteries was enough to shoot down aircraft in the sky.

At this moment, the soldiers on the battery were working diligently.

Suddenly, an alarm blared, and a point of light abruptly appeared on the radar screen.

"What’s going on?" the battery captain asked, frowning.

The soldier, looking at the radar screen, exhibited a horrified expression and hurriedly reported, "Report, Captain, an unwelcome guest is approaching the Royal Manor from the eastern sea at high speed!"

"An unwelcome guest?" the captain asked, puzzled, "Is it a ship or a fighter jet?"

The soldier shook his head, his face showing even greater panic, "Neither, what’s coming, it seems to be just... a person!"

"What?!" the captain exclaimed in disbelief.

It was known that the Royal Manor was built along the coastline, and to the very east of the Royal Manor there was nothing but the vast sea.

A person, not on a ship, not on a plane, but rapidly approaching from the sea?

How could that be possible?!

At that moment, another soldier suddenly shouted, "Captain, you have to see this!"

The captain took the binoculars from the soldier’s hands and looked out over the sea.

Upon looking, the captain’s eyes widened in shock.

Through the binoculars, he clearly saw in the far distance where the sea met the sky, a human figure, was approaching them at an incredible speed, walking on water!
