Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1967 - 1956: The News Brought by Wang Qingyue (Part 2)

Chen Yang instantly sensed that something was amiss. "Alright." He gave a brief nod, allowing Wang Qingyue to enter the room. He scanned the surroundings meticulously, ensuring no one was observing, before stepping inside. "What is it, Qingyue? Has something happened?" Feeling at ease, Chen Yang inquired directly. Wang Qingyue appeared somewhat serious as she turned to face him. "Chen Yang, did you go to Province City half a month ago?" Chen Yang faltered. "Yes," he admitted. Wang Qingyue pressed on, "And you clashed with members of the Blood Bat Hall, even killing their deputy hall master?" Upon hearing this, Chen Yang felt a degree of surprise. He had only confided in Chen Tianmin and Qiu Hongguang about the villa incident and had not mentioned it to anyone else. Furthermore, at the time, no one had witnessed him at the location. So, how had Wang Qingyue learned of this? Could there be a detail he overlooked that led to his exposure? "How did you find out about this?" Chen Yang asked, his brow furrowed. "So it really was you." Wang Qingyue, observing Chen Yang's reaction, immediately understood. After a brief pause, a look of concern crossed her face, though she remained silent. Noticing this, Chen Yang quickly pressed further. "Qingyue, what exactly is going on? Is the Blood Bat Hall investigating me? Or is there some other development?" Chen Yang himself harbored no fear of the Blood Bat Hall.His sole concern at that moment was whether his exposure would implicate Liuhe Village.He knew his second uncle and the others had only recently found a semblance of stability; any further disruption would only complicate matters. "No." Wang Qingyue shook her head. "The Blood Bat Hall isn't directly investigating you right now, but given the current situation, you are in considerable danger." "I'm in danger?" Chen Yang felt a wave of relief upon hearing they weren't yet investigating him. As long as Liuhe Village remained uninvolved, everything would be manageable. "Yes, extremely dangerous." Wang Qingyue nodded gravely. "Actually, I only learned this from my grandfather. After understanding the gravity of the situation, I came to find you immediately." "Recently, individuals from the Blood Bat Hall have been fiercely searching for you in Province City. I also obtained some inside information from my grandfather." "If they uncover the truth, the Hall Master of the Blood Bat Hall will personally pursue you." Wang Qingyue was visibly worried.She was acutely aware of the formidable power wielded by the Blood Bat Hall Master.Should he target Chen Yang, the young man's situation would become precarious.It was precisely for this reason she had rushed to inform him without delay. "So, the Blood Bat Hall currently possesses no concrete information linking me to the incident?" Chen Yang identified the crucial detail. Wang Qingyue nodded. "Correct. However, my grandfather mentioned that the Blood Bat Hall is determined to find you. So, Chen Yang, you must remain vigilant. The Blood Bat Hall Master's strength is unfathomable; we must be prepared for any eventuality..." Seeing that the Blood Bat Hall indeed lacked definitive evidence against him, Chen Yang felt completely at ease.As long as his identity wasn't revealed to the Blood Bat Hall, he had no fear of unforeseen consequences.His heart also warmed, acknowledging Wang Qingyue's genuine concern. "I understand, Qingyue, don't worry. I was meticulous at the scene. Even with the Blood Bat Hall's considerable resources, it will be difficult to trace anything back to me. Moreover, I now possess sufficient strength to handle any threats," Chen Yang said, placing a reassuring hand on Wang Qingyue's shoulder. Her expression eased slightly at his words, but a lingering unease remained in her heart.After all, the Blood Bat Hall was an entity that even powerful conglomerates found difficult to contend with. "Chen Yang, the Blood Bat Hall's power is truly immense; you cannot afford to be careless," Wang Qingyue felt compelled to remind him. "I am aware of that, but I ensured the scene was left immaculate. The Blood Bat Hall won't be able to trace the incident back to me, so please don't worry," Chen Yang replied with a slight smile, further reassuring Wang Qingyue. Wang Qingyue had always held considerable faith in Chen Yang's capabilities.Witnessing his genuine confidence, her internal worries began to subside considerably.However, her visit was not solely for this singular purpose. "Chen Yang, there is another matter I need to inform you about in advance; you need to be prepared," Wang Qingyue said, after sitting in the backyard and taking a sip of water. Chen Yang accepted the empty cup and inquired, "What else is there?" "Gu Xuanyu has returned from the capital." Wang Qingyue stated. "Gu Xuanyu?" Chen Yang paused, then his memory clicked into place.

Not long ago, Wang Qingyue had informed him that the Gu Family had ceased causing trouble, not because they had accepted the losses Chen Yang had inflicted upon them. Rather, it was due to Gu Xuanyu’s departure to the Capital City for his closed-door cultivation. If he were to emerge from his seclusion and return from the Capital City, he would undoubtedly seek out Chen Yang for retribution.

"He has returned so swiftly," Chen Yang expressed a slight surprise, though his reaction was measured. In a span of merely one to two months, Wang Qingyue had advanced her power to the Qi Cultivation Realm. Gu Xuanyu, having found assistance in the Capital City to accelerate his cultivation, was surely more formidable now.

"Indeed, and from what I understand, his prowess has grown immensely. The whispers suggest he has now reached the Spirit Gathering Realm," Wang Qingyue confirmed with a nod.

"Spirit Gathering Realm? That is quite impressive," Chen Yang acknowledged inwardly, not entirely anticipating such a development. That Gu Xuanyu could transition from an ordinary individual with no cultivation base to a Spirit Gathering Realm expert in mere months seemed exceedingly far-fetched.

Despite the exaggerated nature of the news, Chen Yang remained unconcerned. This was because he himself had ascended to the Spirit Gathering Realm, and even surpassed many within that same level. Even if Gu Xuanyu had attained this level, he would still not be a match for Chen Yang.

"Yes, the Gu Family has forged significant connections in the Capital City, greatly amplifying their overall influence. My grandfather conveyed his concern and advised you to be vigilant, as the situation is becoming increasingly intricate," Wang Qingyue observed Chen Yang’s reaction closely. Seeing his minimal external response, she inferred that Chen Yang’s own strength had also escalated to a formidable degree.

"Understood. Please extend my gratitude to your grandfather for his message," Chen Yang replied with a slight nod, signifying his comprehension.

Throughout the entire morning, Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue engaged in conversation within the confines of the backyard. Their discussions encompassed a wide array of topics, touching upon the prevailing circumstances in Province City and the recent shifts in power dynamics. Having dedicated two months to secluded cultivation, Wang Qingyue’s grasp of cultivation principles had deepened considerably. From her insights, Chen Yang also gleaned much valuable information.

Their exchange continued until midday. Post-lunch, Wang Qingyue departed from Liuhe Village. Having traveled directly from Province City to Liuhe Village immediately after concluding her rigorous training, she had yet to meet with Wang Hong. Consequently, her destination in the afternoon was the county town, leaving Chen Yang with no further cause for concern.

"Gu Xuanyu at the Spirit Gathering Realm… life is unlikely to be uneventful from here on."

Chen Yang watched as Wang Qingyue’s vehicle receded from view. He then proceeded to lower the rolling shutter of the clinic and made his way to the Green Cloud Taoist Temple.

Following nearly a month of extensive renovations and expansion, the Green Cloud Temple had transformed into a considerably grander establishment. Viewed from a distance, it resembled a formidable fortress crowning the mountainside, exuding an aura of majesty. With its augmented size and increasing influx of visitors, its reputation had naturally soared.

Moreover, under astute management through the company’s oversight, the Green Cloud Temple had blossomed into a highly cherished local landmark, drawing a multitude of visitors daily. This newfound prosperity brought Taoist Liu immense joy. The daily collection of offerings provided him with a substantial income, enabling him to recently recruit several disciples possessing cultivation aptitude and officially commence the revival of the Chiyun lineage. All endeavors were progressing favorably.

And then there was He Xiran. Lately, she had developed an exceptionally close bond with Little Flower, practically inseparable and sharing a remarkably strong friendship. Under normal circumstances, He Xiran would frequently seek out Chen Yang without a specific reason. However, since Little Flower’s arrival, her visits had become infrequent. Unless matters concerning Little Flower necessitated Chen Yang’s counsel, she rarely frequented the clinic.
