Peerless Medical Emperor

Chen Yuan would feel completely out of place living here.

"Where are you living now?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

"I’ve rented a house nearby, not far from where you are, Master."

"Just give me a call if you need anything. I won’t stay here. Otherwise, Godmother will be finding things for me to do every day."

"Besides, being outside makes it easier for me to search for clues about the Evil God Hall. In any case, I’ll report any leads or information to you immediately."

Chen Yuan said, looking at Chen Qingdi.

"Alright."

Chen Qingdi nodded.

Soon, Chen Yuan left.

As for Chen Qingdi, he wasn’t very familiar with the surrounding area, so he decided to take a look around.

After a brief tour, Chen Qingdi was quite satisfied with the neighborhood. It suited him well, and it was indeed very quiet.

Furthermore, in the vicinity, there was a park built several decades ago that had since been abandoned.

However, Chen Qingdi sensed a spot inside it that seemed to have an extremely dense Spiritual Qi Source.

This was a completely unexpected discovery for Chen Qingdi.

So, he decided to go and check out the abandoned park.

With light steps, Chen Qingdi strode directly toward the park. Just as he entered and started down a deserted path, he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps from deeper within.

This was followed by the sounds of a fight, which surprised Chen Qingdi. ’How can there be sounds of fighting in such a desolate place?’

’Could it be that high-level cultivators discovered the dense Spiritual Source here and are fighting over it?’

That was a definite possibility. After all, this was Jingxi.

Chen Qingdi leaped up and hid in a tree, wanting to see just what kind of battle was taking place.

Hiding in the tree, his gaze stretched several hundred meters away, where he saw two Guiyuan realm Martial Artists escorting an elderly man.

They were heading directly in Chen Qingdi’s direction.

For the moment, Chen Qingdi couldn’t tell which side was righteous and which was evil, so he could only continue to observe.

However, one thing was certain: the escorted elder seemed to have a very distinguished status.

The two Guiyuan realm Martial Artists had even deliberately slowed their pace to protect him.

"You two, go! Don’t worry about me."

"They’re after me, Ning."

The gray-haired elder said to the Guiyuan realm Martial Artist Ning at his side.

But Ning showed no intention of leaving.

"Elder Wu, we were assigned to protect you."

"What would it look like if we left now? The Young Miss will kill us. Right, Ding?"

Ning looked toward the other Guiyuan realm Martial Artist.

"That’s right, Elder Wu. Don’t worry, we will definitely get you back safely."

Ding said.

Ding’s full name was Ding Luo. They were both guards of the Wu Family.

They had originally come here after hearing about the natural Spiritual Energy, hoping to try their luck. The elder was getting on in years, and if he could be nourished by natural Spiritual Energy, his spirits would improve greatly.

But they never expected to be ambushed by assassins right after arriving. Moreover, the assassins were extremely powerful.

Although the two of them could handle it for now, things would get difficult if this dragged on.

"Don’t run!"

"Hand over the Yixing Pearl."

"And don’t pretend, Elder Wu. The Yixing Pearl is on you, isn’t it!"

Behind them, a dozen or so assassins in tight-fitting combat attire quickly gave chase.

They soon blocked the path of Ding and Ning.

Among the dozen or so opponents, two or three were at a similar realm to Ning and Ding.

The rest were below the Guiyuan realm.

However, they held an Innate advantage in numbers.

Therefore, if the fight continued like this, the outcome was obvious: Ning and his companion would surely fall.

"What Yixing Pearl?"

"The Yixing Pearl is not in the possession of our Wu Family."

Wu Jinfeng said, looking at them coldly.

"Not in the Wu Family? Who are you kidding?"

"Everyone in Jingxi knows the Wu Family has an Yixing Pearl that can absorb the essence of the heavens and earth to nourish one’s spirit. It’s something every Martial Artist desires."

"Hand it over, and we’ll spare you."

The lead assassin had a tattoo on his arm, and his gaze was as cold as a blade.

"Zhao, why waste words on them?"

"Just kill them all. Everything they have will be ours then."

one of the lead assassin’s men said.

"Did you hear that? My men are getting restless. They want to cut you down."

"Hurry up and hand over the Yixing Pearl."

"Also, you just got something from the Spiritual Energy Belt, didn’t you? I saw you retrieve an ancient-looking stone tablet from it, right?"

"Hand that over too."

said the leader, Zhao.

Zhao’s full name was Zhao Quanzhang. He was the strongest among this group of assassins, a peak Guiyuan First Level, on the verge of breaking through to the Second Level.

"Who ordered you to kill me?"

"Who is the master behind all this?"

Wu Jinfeng stared coldly at the group.

"You don’t need to know who we are."

"Just hand over the Yixing Pearl!"

Zhao Quanzhang said coldly.

But Wu Jinfeng’s expression remained impassive; he had no intention of handing it over.

Seeing Wu Jinfeng’s defiance, Zhao Quanzhang’s gaze grew even colder.

"These two attendants of yours may be strong."

"But it would be very easy for us to deal with them."

"Since you won’t hand it over, don’t blame us for what happens next."

"Brothers, attack! Kill these three."

Zhao Quanzhang commanded coldly.

"Kill!"

In an instant, the dozen or so men all rushed toward Wu Jinfeng.

Seeing this, Wu Jinfeng’s expression changed drastically.

Waves of energy surged madly toward Wu Jinfeng.

"Ning, Ding, you two get out of here!"

"Don’t worry about me."

"Don’t avenge me. If Jingjiao asks, just tell her I went out of town."

Wu Jinfeng said to Ning and Ding.

But of course, Ning Li and Ding Luo would not abandon Wu Jinfeng.

"Master, with us here, they won’t succeed."

"They may think they’re superior, but that doesn’t mean we can’t put up a fight."

"At worst, it’ll be a fight to the death."

"In a moment, when we engage them, you must leave first, Master."

Ning shouted to Wu Jinfeng.

As he spoke, Ning’s figure flickered, and he dashed directly toward Zhao Quanzhang.

Ding also charged toward Zhao Quanzhang.

After all, Zhao Quanzhang was the strongest among the assassins. If they could kill him, the others might be scared off.
