Peerless Medical Emperor

"Really?"

Gong Liangbu was still a little skeptical.

"What, you don’t even trust my word anymore?"

Chen Qingdi shot Gong Liangbu a glare.

"I do, I do!"

Gong Liangbu quickly said with a smile.

After Bao Feng and Luo Yidao’s group scrambled out in a panic, they quickly jumped into their car and fled as if their lives depended on it.

Seeing that Chen Qingdi didn’t pursue them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luo Yidao, you’re one stubborn fool. How did you manage to provoke someone like that?"

"I’ve really got to hand it to you."

Bao Feng said with a look of displeasure.

"I never expected that Wang Fan to be so powerful either."

"I’m truly scared now."

"It’s a good thing he didn’t decide to wipe us out completely."

"If he had really made a move on us, we would have been no match for him."

Luo Yidao said.

"I’d guess that kid’s cultivation is at least at the Master realm."

"And he’s not far from becoming a Grandmaster, either."

"Don’t go offending him again."

Bao Feng said in a deep voice.

"I know."

"I didn’t know before."

"Besides, the ones I was originally targeting weren’t him, but Gong Liangbu and Nie Xing. I never thought they’d find a backer as powerful as Chen Qingdi."

Luo Yidao said.

"Yeah, who would have thought they’d meet such a benefactor."

Zhao Chongjian said.

The men chatted intermittently on the way.

When they finally arrived at Luo Yidao’s residence, Bao Feng got out of the car.

"Luo Yidao, don’t come looking for me again."

Bao Feng said coldly.

Luo Yidao nodded.

He knew this incident had deeply displeased Bao Feng. To help him, Bao Feng had ended up offending Chen Qingdi. Frankly, even Bao Feng was terrified of such a powerful figure.

Bao Feng left quickly.

After Bao Feng departed, Luo Yidao and the others immediately returned to the residence and shut the main gate tightly.

As the gate closed, Luo Yidao and his men felt a sense of security return.

"Luo, do you think... Chen Qingdi won’t come looking for us, will he?"

"After all, he knows where you live."

Zhao Chongjian looked at Luo Yidao, his face full of worry.

"What’s there to be afraid of? Didn’t he say he’d let us go?"

"A man like him should be true to his word. No need to be scared."

Luo Yidao said.

Hearing Luo Yidao say this, Zhang Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.

The men sat in the main hall, sipping tea, but their minds were still uneasy.

Just then.

"AHH!"

Zhao Chongjian suddenly screamed.

Then, his meridians began to rupture one by one, and he coughed up a large amount of blood.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng, who was beside him, was terrified.

"Chongjian, what’s happening to you?"

Zhang Feng’s face turned pale with fright.

At that very moment, Zhang Feng also started to feel unwell.

Soon, he too spat out a mouthful of blood.

Watching Zhang Feng, Luo Yidao grew fearful as well.

"What’s wrong with you two? Why are you both coughing up so much blood?"

Luo Yidao was shocked by the scene.

Soon, Zhang Feng’s meridians also shattered, and he vomited mouthfuls of blood.

Luo Yidao was horrified by this.

He felt completely rattled.

A moment later, Luo Yidao’s own meridians began to rupture.

Luo Yidao was completely baffled by what was happening.

"What is happening?"

"Ah, it hurts so much!"

Luo Yidao screamed.

Soon, Luo Yidao’s meridians were destroyed, and his entire cultivation was gone.

The same thing happened to Zhang Feng and Zhao Chongjian.

The three men looked at each other and struggled to their feet.

"We’re completely crippled now."

Zhao Chongjian said.

"But what on earth happened?"

"Why did it happen like this?"

Zhang Feng asked, completely baffled.

Seeing Zhang Feng’s bewildered expression, Luo Yidao couldn’t figure it out either.

"I don’t know either."

"Forget it. We’re crippled now. What else can be done?"

With that, Luo Yidao walked helplessly toward his room.

After resting for a while, Zhao Chongjian and Zhang Feng also left.

The next few days were quiet.

For the next few days, Chen Qingdi had Nie Xing and Gong Liangbu gather information about Celestial River Valley.

Once he had a clear understanding of the situation at Celestial River Valley, Chen Qingdi planned to go check it out.

In any case, it was a place Chen Qingdi had to go.

He was preparing to build his own power base there to counter Di Lin Hall and the various major families, who might become his enemies in the future.

Although he had many experts by his side, he couldn’t just transfer all of them over.

Besides, his subordinates on Medical God Island were primarily healers. There were only about a dozen of them who were truly powerful.

A few days later, Gong Liangbu came before Chen Qingdi.

"Mr. Chen, I’ve gathered the latest information on Celestial River Valley."

Gong Liangbu said with a smile.

"Tell me what you’ve learned."

"Can we go now?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

"Not yet. We have to wait a few more days."

Gong Liangbu said.

"Why is that?"

Chen Qingdi asked, confused.

Chen Qingdi had already informed his godmother, Lin Zhongxue, that he would be staying at this residence for the time being.

The residence was quite large, so Gong Liangbu and Nie Xing were staying there as well.

However, both Gong Liangbu and Nie Xing actually had their own homes.

But recently, they had been staying with Chen Qingdi to learn from him.

To be honest, they had improved a great deal by his side.

This made them very happy.

"The barrier around the outer layer of Celestial River Valley is too thick right now. Plus, the Xi Family is keeping an eye on it. If we go now, won’t we be too conspicuous?"

"There’s another reason. I’d like to ask you for a favor, Mr. Chen."

"After you help me with this, the timing should be just right for Celestial River Valley."

Gong Liangbu said with a smile.

"You rascal, what favor do you want from me this time?"

Chen Qingdi looked at Gong Liangbu.

"I have a friend whose family was once prominent in Jingxi. They’ve declined a bit now and can’t compare to the major families, but they’re still considered a second-rate house in Jingxi."

Gong Liangbu said.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t be so hesitant."

Chen Qingdi said.

"My friend’s name is Mu Xinlei. His family has run into some trouble recently. People keep showing up at their company to cause problems."

"And several hundred-million-yuan contracts they were about to sign have been snatched away by other companies."

"So, I was hoping you could lend a hand, Mr. Chen. That way, we’d gain another ally. At the very least, the Mu Family would stand with us, no matter what happens in the future."

Gong Liangbu said.
