If all this had happened a year ago, Lin Xiao would have annihilated the entire Zheng family without hesitation.
A mad Lin Xiao was something neither the Dragon Country nor any other nation wished to see.
There was a time when Lin Xiao lost control, and his brothers in the Northern Territory were nearly caught in the crossfire, with half the military camp destroyed.
But now, as the armor appeared on Lin Xiao's body, the crimson in his eyes transformed into a pale white.
He looked at Zheng Aijia on the ground and said softly, "You went to such lengths, risking your entire family to achieve this… It seems there's someone behind you."
"Someone behind me?"
Zheng Jianguo clearly didn't understand. Lin Xiao meant that Zheng Aijia had done all this because there was someone else pulling the strings.
But who could that be?
Within the Dragon Country, who could make Zheng Aijia willing to do such things? Or was it an foreign force?
Could Zheng Aijia be a traitor?!
Just as Zheng Jianguo was about to inquire further, Zheng Aijia, who was still prone on the ground, his pupils contracted sharply. It was as if a secret had been exposed, and he promptly bit his own tongue.
"You want to die?"
Lin Xiao's voice was devoid of emotion. With a flick of his finger, he controlled Zheng Aijia's body, instantly sealing all the meridians in his body and stopping the severe bleeding from his mouth.
"I won't allow you to die."
A packet of silver needles materialized in Lin Xiao's hand, and in an instant, they were embedded all over Zheng Aijia's body. Simultaneously, he produced a pill and placed it in Zheng Aijia's mouth.
"Elder Zheng, if you don't want your son to die, have someone bring the medicine," Lin Xiao said rapidly, his actions never pausing for even half a second.
"Medicine… what medicine?"
"Contact the Dragon Lord and explain your son's condition. He will naturally arrange for the appropriate medicine to be sent," Lin Xiao stated, his hand instantly tapping Zheng Aijia's forehead.
Zheng Aijia, whose spirit had begun to falter, regained some semblance of awareness.
"Ah…"
With his tongue severed, Zheng Aijia tried to speak, but he could only emit primal sounds, unable to utter a coherent word.
"You won't die. I will personally reattach your tongue. Your life, I will pull it back even if I have to use the Nine Revitalizing Needles," Lin Xiao said indifferently. "Until I obtain sufficient information from you, until I have fully extracted your value, death will be a distant dream for you."
At this moment, a trace of despair flickered in Zheng Aijia's eyes.
This was the very definition of wishing for death but being unable to achieve it.
The Zheng father and son on the side were frantically making calls.
Within ten minutes of contacting the Dragon Lord, the pill was in Lin Xiao's hands. Xiao Shu Ge.
As a divine physician, Lin Xiao recognized at a glance that this was no ordinary pill that could be produced in a regular hospital. It likely bore the imprint of the Celestial Masters' sect and the Royal Pharmacy.
He administered this Rejuvenating Pill, capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bone, into Zheng Aijia's mouth.
This potent elixir possessed the ability to powerfully repair internal organs and stimulate the body's vital energy and self-healing capabilities.
It was the perfect medicine for the situation, and when combined with the Vitality Restoring Pill he had previously given Zheng Aijia, the damage to his internal organs and muscles could be healed within a single day.
