Chapter 1722: Chapter 782: Divine Emperor Successor

Just as the letter was almost complete, Lan Chuchu hesitated again.

It was because she thought about one thing: in the Divine Realm, most alchemists are first-tier Fang Immortals, and there are very few Fang Venerates who can become gods. Even if there are such people, they owe their status to certain familial connections.

A mere Poison Venerate becoming a god is indeed unusual.

"Poison Venerate? Can this person really help me?"

"Don’t you trust me? I’ve seen that woman’s skills before in the Heavenly Prison."

Lan Cang swore earnestly.

Due to not being valued, he took a position as the Main God responsible for guarding the prison under the God Emperor, akin to the head prison guard.

The Jade Hand Poison Master was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for many years.

Previously always filled with deathly silence, she was largely ignored.

Until one time, a female prisoner suffered a difficult and premature childbirth, nearly losing her life. This woman stepped in to save them, preserving the lives of both the prisoner and the child.

Lan Cang was present at the scene, witnessed her skills, and took notice.

"I always feel something is amiss; letting a female prisoner know about our affairs, which are so secretive, can’t be good."

Lan Chuchu hesitated once more.

Those imprisoned in the Divine Emperor’s Heavenly Prison are anything but ordinary criminals. This woman must have some connections; otherwise, given her understanding of Father, how could he imprison her for so many years without any punishment or execution?

"Besides her, I can’t think of anyone else who could discreetly trigger the birth. You know, most alchemists in the Divine Realm are not skilled in healing. Those truly proficient in healing are fewer than three—apart from the Jade Hand Poison Master, the other two are Medicine Buddha Yun Sheng and Futu Heaven’s controller Ye Lingguang. You probably wouldn’t want to trouble either of them, right?"

Lan Cang remembered the strained relations between the Northern Territory and Eight Desolates Divine Realm.

It’s said Xi Jiuye and the family of Eight Desolate Divine Sovereign are long-standing foes.

Moreover, the Eight Desolate Divine Sovereign had a wasteful daughter rumored to have a transient affair with his brother-in-law Xi Jiuye, almost becoming the Northern Territory’s Divine Queen.

This matter had always been a thorn in Lan Chuchu’s heart.

Without mentioning it, especially the mention of Medicine Buddha Yun Sheng, Lan Chuchu nearly ground her gleaming teeth to pieces.

Lan Chuchu recalled her first monstrous birth; both she and Brother Jiu Ye were healthy and godlike; how they ended up with such a monster seemed inexplicable.

She pondered numerous times afterward, remembering her encounter with Medicine Buddha Yun Sheng at Emperor Huo Yan’s birthday banquet after she became pregnant.

That woman seemed to have taken note of her belly, nearly causing her to lose the child.

At the time, she was lucky her child had a strong fate; now it seemed Yun Sheng, that vile woman, may have already tampered with her at that point.

The more Lan Chuchu thought about it, the more suspicious it became, making her wish she could tear Medicine Buddha Yun Sheng to pieces.

However, no matter how high her medical skills are.

Her cherished daughter had fallen to her defeat, being orchestrated to a brutal death, her soul scattered.

Even the Divine Elixir made from that woman’s flesh became a tonic, consumed into her belly.

Thinking of these, Lan Chuchu became increasingly determined to give birth to a healthy child this time.

Jade Hand Poison Master, since this person is famous for her Poison Technique, might even help me unravel the poison of "Desire of Love," achieving two goals at once and freeing Lan Cang, that brute.

"I’ll write to Father now. Remember, you must secretly bring this person to the Northern Territory Divine Palace without anyone noticing."

Lan Chuchu personally wrote the letter, repeatedly instructing Lan Cang to take it to the Divine Emperor’s Heavenly Prison.

Lan Cang used the Transmission Array to deliver the letter to the Feng Gu Divine Emperor.

"Your sister poisoned chronically? How absurd! Who dares to harm this Emperor’s daughter!"

Seeing the letter, Emperor Feng Gu was furious.

"Father, I suspect it’s Medicine Buddha Yun Sheng’s doing. You know, while she poses as a Medicine Buddha, she’s actually very cunning. She and the Eight Desolate Divine Sovereign hold grudges over the death of their wasteful daughter and have previously publicly humiliated her."

Lan Cang’s words deepened the Feng Gu Divine Emperor’s resentment.

The emperor was well aware of the feud between his daughter and the couple from the Eight Desolates.

That couple was under Emperor Huo Yan, and Emperor Feng Gu had disliked them for years.

Unexpectedly, they dared to secretly harm his daughter.

This account, Emperor Feng Gu could not swallow quietly.

He wanted to take action against the Yun Sheng couple, but they were formidable and favored generals of Emperor Huo Yan, hard to deal with.

However, no one is flawless, and even the mightiest have weaknesses. Their wasteful daughter is dead, but they have twin sons who are both worrisome.

Deep inside, Emperor Feng Gu had devised a plan but chose not to reveal it. Instead, he asked.

"I have my ways, so you need not worry about this matter. Has Jiu Ye been informed of your sister’s poisoning?"

"Brother-in-law left the Northern Territory over half a year ago, hasn’t returned yet. Father, that young man knows sister is about to give birth yet lingers outside, clearly disregarding her and you."

Lan Cang spoke with ill intention.

"Silence! Your brother-in-law has great talents, outshines you by a vast margin. His travels are for the future of the Northern Territory and your sister. In your sister’s letter, she mentioned Jade Hand Poison Master. Humph, were you stirring trouble before her? Do you know who Jade Hand Poison Master is? That woman’s ruthless methods caused countless havoc in the Human Realm; having her treat your sister is unsuitable."

Emperor Feng Gu glared at Lan Cang.

That young man is worrisome wherever he is.

"Father, I’m looking out for Sister too. You know, the baby in her womb is my... my own nephew. Besides, the Feng Gu lineage lacks any alchemist skilled in detoxification. If we delay further, there may be harm to Sister and her unborn child."

Lan Cang spoke cautiously.

Emperor Feng Gu pondered deeply. Ultimately, cherishing Lan Chuchu and her child, he thought about the potential power boost for Northern Territory if Xi Jiuye returned from the Human Realm with the Jiu Provinces Cauldron.

Among the Four Divine Emperors, rumors suggest that Changsheng God Emperor aims for unification this year. If true, the Divine Realm loses one emperor; Xi Jiuye’s accumulated war merits position him as a strong contender for Divine Emperor successor.

At this moment, if Lan Chuchu births a son, her status as Divine Queen solidifies further, and if the Feng Gu lineage produces another Divine Emperor’s Son-in-law, their power would certainly rise.

As Emperor Feng Gu considered this, a streak of light flashed, swiftly pouring into Lan Cang’s hand.

It was a Wind Emperor Token.

"Issue the token to escort Jade Hand Poison Master to the Northern Territory. Once your sister safely delivers, bring her back to the Heavenly Prison immediately, with no error allowed."

Lan Cang rejoiced, hurriedly received the token, and hastened to the Divine Emperor’s Heavenly Prison to escort the prisoner.
