Lord of Myriad Realms

Chapter 22 : Elea's despair.

A pale faced middle aged man was lying in the bed, eyes closed, with few people surrounding him . Elea was among them. She stared at her fathers pale face, tears glistening in her beautiful eyes.

" Medicine master what do you think? " Shiba inquired anxiously.

Medicine master sheilong shook his head and said " If it was only his injuries then i might have been able to do something but he was deeply poisoned too."

" Aren't you also a poison expert?" Elea's mother shouted from the side.

" Madame its not any normal poison. In fact i had never seen this kind of poison. Each time i inject my true Qi into his body it gets devoured completely. I even injected true fire to get the poison out but my fire gets nullified. I tried Red Spirit Hydra to detoxify it but it didn't work either. " Medicine master sheilong said with a solemn expression. His face was haggard, it can be seen that he had expanded much effort in trying to cure the poison.

" What? Even Spirit Hydra didn't worked? " Elea exclaimed in shock.

Red Spirit Hydra was one of the best and top plant among all others to cure poison. If it doesn't work then what would?

" Lord shiba i have tried my best but I am ashamed for my incompetence. " Medicine master said with a sincere expression.

" What should we do now? " Elea's mother asked in a sorrowful voice.

" I used a great method to stop the poison from spreading faster into his body. At this rate he can only live up to five days if not cured ." Medicine master explained patiently.

" I'll suggest you guys to search for the antidote as soon as possible."

Hearing his words elea's mother almost fainted from shock. Elea was also stunned, she staggered backward, her delicate body trembled. Her beloved father who always supported her staunchly was about to die before her but she couldn't do anything. She felt that the ground beneath her foot disappeared. Master Sheilong was a well recognized top medicine expert in the whole Eastern State but now he said he can't cure her father then who could? Suddenly she thought of someone. Maybe he can do it but he isn't here even after three months. Where could she find him?

' What would he do in this situation? ' Elea thought in her heart. His always confident and leisure smile was printed deep in her memory.

"If you'll excuse me." Medicine master left silently. Everyone in the room stood there in a daze. They don't have the mood to show courtesy.

" Should we contact the ancestor? " An elder said.

" No not now. First lets see how things goes. " Shiba shook his head slightly and said. " Contact third brother as soon as possible . " He ordered. Without family lord, Shiba was in charge of all the family matters.

" I'll go. " An elder nodded and left.

The situation was dangerous, everyone had a grave expression on their face. Some were sorrowful, some were indignant, some weeped bitter tears, some were gnashing their teeth in hatred and anger, their family lords situation made them feel sad, angry and helpless at the same time.

" Alright everyone we still need to discuss about the visit from Iron Gate sect in the morning and what to do about this matter. Things aren't looking good so you all should be cautious when you go outside. " Shiba looked at everyone in the hall and warned.

Elea left the room quietly, her mother stayed behind nursing her father.

The old woman was still following Elea. Elea was extremely angry, she was seething with anger, she wanted nothing more than to tear all those Iron Gate sect scums.

" Young miss you shouldn't act rashly. " The old woman behind her became alerted seeing her mental state and immediately cautioned.

" I know. " Elea replied with an icy cold voice.

The old woman sighed, knew that she couldn't stop her.

Three days passed by in the blink of an eye but for Roswell family each days was like amount to a year. Roswell family lords situation deteriorated at extremely fast pace, despite medicine master using great method suppressing the poison.Everyone was anxious to the extreme. They contacted the Empire about this matter but the Empire stayed silent. Their sudden indifference caused them to feel alarmed. Iron Gate sect demanded to hand over Elea and Ray, they also said if Roswell family don't hand over their ' Ancestral shadow clone technique ' as a compensation then Iron Gate sect would go to war. Such bold demand caused the whole family to spew fire. They cursed the Iron Gate sect for being unscrupulous and shameless.

" Outrageous. They actually have the nerve to demand our little girl and the legacy left behind by God ancestor. " Shiba slammed the table in anger. The table couldn't bear the weight of his punch as it crumbled to dust.

" What should we do? Empire is silent and we still don't know if they would stay neutral or not. " A burly man who sat in the middle said. He is Drogba roswell, Elea's third uncle.

Heated discussions rose in the hall. Shiba finally decided to contact the ancestor.

" No need to contact me. I'm already here. " An extremely old voice sounded. A haggard old man slowly walked toward the main seat . Everyone hurriedly kneeled down in one knee and shouted. "Welcome the arrival of ancestor. "

" Rise everyone. " The old man said in a weak voice. His voice was like a mosquito buzz but everyone heard his words clearly. No one dared to underestimate this old man just because he looks old and weak. He was a great character in his generation, even now many younger generation would gasp in amazement after hearing his tales.

" Ancestor what should we do? " Shiba asked respectfully bowing his head.

" What can we do except for fighting. They had already planned all of this since the beginning. They just needed an issue to implement their plan, using Iron Gate sect as a pawn. The fate of our family's future generation would depend on this war, we will be facing against two god's lineage. Let's give our best everyone.

Since ancient time many powerful lineages disappeared with the erosion of time. Everything will be destroyed one day sooner or later. You bathed in the light of your ancestors glory all along, maybe its time to start a new beginning. Is it for us? or for others? Who knows. " The old man said emotionlessly but these words steered their heart.
