Once Madam Iori mentioned the "Plague Ghost Child," Chen Xuan instantly connected the dots.
From the beginning, he had sensed that the strange illness wasn't as simple as it appeared. He had been unable to identify the perpetrator, and since the enemy was in the shadows while he remained in the light, he couldn't guess which of his many rivals was behind it. If the culprit behind these incidents really was a Plague Ghost Child, then the enemy could essentially be narrowed down to Japan. After all, during his trip to Japan, he had killed so many top-tier Japanese fighters and even left the Japanese God Emperor without an heir. Such a blow to national dignity would inevitably invite retaliation; it would be abnormal if it didn't.
However, Chen Xuan had been focusing his suspicions on the Japanese Sword Saint, Tsukahara Isshin. He had assumed that Japan would send Tsukahara Isshin to fight him in a decisive duel. He never expected them to resort to such underhanded tactics, targeting him through his own expertise in medicine. Chen Xuan was now especially desperate to know who had orchestrated this conspiracy.
