Chapter 764: 616 NOK Forum Founder, Emperor Ying covers it【One more update】_3
He had been with the Judicial Hall for so long that he was well accustomed to the internal struggles of the clan.
The evidence was irrefutable, and the Supervision Department was far from courteous to Patriarch Qiao as they had been to Ling Zhonglou yesterday.
Patriarch Qiao was dragged away.
No matter how he wailed, it was useless; the whole Qiao Family could hear his heart-wrenching screams.
It left the Qiao Family’s Elders Council staring at each other in dismay.
Third Elder Qiao’s face was unsightly as he turned his head to look at the Great Elder, "Big brother, this matter..."
"We’ve been outplayed," Great Elder Qiao squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, "He was careless in his actions, leaving loopholes for others to exploit. He’s no longer fit to be the patriarch."
That’s how it was with Ancient Martial Arts Families of medium size and above.
The patriarch was just a representative of a clan to the outside world, replaceable at will.
Third Elder Qiao nodded and then said angrily, "But we absolutely cannot let the Ling Family off easily!"
For causing such a loss of face to the Qiao Family, Ling Zhonglou wouldn’t get away unharmed.
"Regarding this matter, we should consult the Fan Family," Great Elder Qiao pondered for a moment before speaking, "Third brother, tell me, what is the most important thing for an Ancient Martial Family besides cultivation resources?"
Third Elder Qiao was taken aback and blurted out, "Of course, it’s Ancient Medicine!"
Ancient martial artists fight and train every day, sustaining injuries more often than not.
Having an ancient physician at one’s side is like having several extra lives.
The Qiao Family had fifteen resident ancient physicians.
However, given the Qiao Family’s position in the Ancient Martial World, they were unable to employ ancient physicians from the three major clans of Foo, An, and Meng.
The esteemed ancient physicians of the Heavenly Medical Sect were also out of their reach.
"Correct, it’s the ancient physicians," Great Elder Qiao stated flatly. "What would happen if the Ling Family lost their ancient physicians?"
Third Elder Qiao’s eyes lit up, "If the Ling Family loses their ancient physicians, the development of their clan will grind to a halt and might even regress."
The Ling Family, with a size similar to the Qiao Family, had not allied with any major clan and thus could not have any contact with the top powers of the Ancient medical field.
By going through the Fan Family, they could block the Ling Family’s channels for employing ancient physicians.
Then the Ling Family would be finished.
"We will force the Ling Family to replace Ling Zhonglou as their patriarch," Great Elder Qiao spoke coldly. "Without replacing Ling Zhonglou, the Ling Family shouldn’t dream of natural treatment from any ancient physicians."
Third Elder Qiao made a decisive decision, "I will go to the Fan Family right now."
**
Just two days later, the Fan Family had already leaked the news to the freelance physicians of the Ling Family.
Freelance physicians were not affiliated with any force, but they possessed considerable medical skills.
Medium-sized Ancient Martial Families employed precisely these kinds of ancient physicians.
The Fan Family’s move caught the Ling Family off guard.
Under the Fan Family’s coercion, the ancient physicians of the Ling Family had no choice but to resign one after another.
They were only in a cooperative relationship with the Ling Family.
Ancient physicians were in high demand; leaving the Ling Family, they had plenty of options among other Ancient Martial Families.
Early in the morning, the ancient physicians of the Ling Family said their goodbyes to the Elders Council and left the Ling Family.
The Great Elder didn’t understand what had happened; he stopped an old ancient physician who had been with the Ling Family for thirty years.
"Old friend, what do you mean by this?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"The Fan Family has sent word to the Ancient medical field," the old ancient physician just shook his head and sighed, "We can no longer have any cooperation with the Ling Family, please forgive us, Great Elder."
He picked up his medicine box and hurriedly left.
The Great Elder couldn’t stop him.
Then, a guard came to report, "Great Elder, someone from the Fan Family is here."
The Great Elder frowned, "Let him in."
The Fan Family was much more powerful than the Ling Family; they were not to be provoked.
But why was the Fan Family doing this?
The visitor was a steward from the Fan Family.
He came straight to the point.
"Here’s the situation, we have no intention of coercing the Ling Family, but someone has gone too far in their actions," the steward smiled with a hint of threat, "As long as the Ling Family replaces Ling Zhonglou as their patriarch, the ancient physicians will naturally return."
"Not only that, but we can also help the Ling Family hire ancient physicians from the three Ancient Medicine Families and even from the Heavenly Medical Sect."
Provided that Ling Zhonglou steps down from his position as the patriarch.
