Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2146 - 2102: Cangshi Town
Previously on Peach Blossom Divine Medical God...
Fu Jinbao said directly, "That Cangshi Town is known as the nightmare of our academy’s students!"
"That area is the border between our Cangnan Academy and the Ten Thousand Monster Sect."
"It’s extremely chaotic, all sorts of bizarre, ghostly incidents happen there all year round, so students are constantly going over to do missions."
"But the academy usually only sends students from Area Two, or even Area One, over there."
"It has never sent other disciples, because it’s too chaotic, too dangerous."
"Let alone letting a newcomer who hasn’t been here long like you go there; you must have offended someone, otherwise it wouldn’t be like this."
Fu Jinbao first explained the dangers of Cangshi Town, then said with a look of certainty that Chen Yang had offended someone.
And after hearing this, Chen Yang also understood why Fu Jinbao had shown that expression when he heard about his mission.
"Brother Chen Yang, did you offend someone? And I’d guess the person you offended has a pretty high status, otherwise there’s no way the Contribution Hall would issue this kind of mission." Fu Jinbao asked again.
Chen Yang nodded, and in his heart he already had a rough idea of who it was.
Zhao Shuo.
Aside from him, Chen Yang really couldn’t think of anyone else.
Or rather, besides him, Chen Yang hadn’t offended anyone.
"Zhao Shuo."
Chen Yang casually spat out those two words.
When Fu Jinbao heard the name Zhao Shuo, he was stunned at first, then reacted.
"Right, I almost forgot, a while back you beat Zhao Shuo’s disciple Li Tian and made him lose face. Him coming after you, that makes sense." Fu Jinbao nodded lightly, having understood.
"And he has the means to do it. This Zhao Shuo, although just an ordinary elder, I heard he has a relative with profound strength who serves as an offering elder in the Contribution Hall. Him using the Contribution Hall to deal with you is only normal."
Fu Jinbao continued.
Chen Yang had only been suspecting it might be Zhao Shuo, or that it might be some petty trick from the Contribution Hall itself.
That was why they sent him to Cangshi Town.
But now, hearing what Fu Jinbao said about Zhao Shuo’s connection to the Contribution Hall, it was almost certain.
It was definitely him scheming behind the scenes!
"Then it’s definitely him." Chen Yang’s gaze darkened like deep water!
That day, when Zhao Shuo brazenly struck at him, Chen Yang had already birthed killing intent.
He hadn’t expected that not only did the man fail to see his own fault, he was now playing dirty tricks.
How could Chen Yang possibly swallow this?
It was just that he had no opportunity at the moment, that was all! If he ever got the chance, he would definitely make that old dog pay the price.
"So what are you planning to do now?" Fu Jinbao’s face was full of worry. After thinking for a moment, he advised, "Brother Chen Yang, this old bro will give you two suggestions, you can think them over."
Hearing this, Chen Yang looked at Fu Jinbao, wanting to see if he had any good ideas.
"First, I advise you to just give up. Cangshi Town really is extremely dangerous. Many students in the Condensation Realm go there and end up with nothing but punishment. Just take the loss in silence."
"Second, why don’t you go and yield a bit to that old man Zhao Shuo? That guy may be shameless, but he’s still an elder. It’s no shame for you to bow your head to him."
Fu Jinbao offered his advice with a serious expression.
Chen Yang could see that this fellow genuinely had his best interests at heart.
But those two suggestions might work for someone else.
For Chen Yang, he didn’t even consider them.
He directly shook his head and refused.
"I, Chen Yang, am not someone who swallows grievances in silence, and I’m even less likely to bow to him." Chen Yang said.
Fu Jinbao froze, then exclaimed in surprise, "Don’t tell me you really plan to make a trip to Cangshi Town?"
"The mission’s already been issued, so of course I have to go." Chen Yang nodded directly.
Fu Jinbao was surprised, and the way he looked at Chen Yang changed.
From his heart, he didn’t think it was a good idea.
But since Chen Yang was so determined to go, he couldn’t say much more and could only hope Chen Yang would do his best to protect himself.
"Once you get there, you must be extremely careful! Cangshi Town’s situation is complicated, don’t trust others lightly."
Fu Jinbao reminded him.
"Mm, thanks." Chen Yang nodded again, and after expressing his thanks to Fu Jinbao, he left first.
He had decided to complete the mission.
And the Contribution Hall had only given him a mere five days.
He had to hurry, or he wouldn’t make it in time.
"This little guy is interesting—tough bones, solid strength, and clever. If he grows up, he’ll definitely be someone who can stir up the heavens." Watching Chen Yang’s hurriedly departing back, Fu Jinbao smiled and shook his head...
...
On the other side, after leaving the academy, Chen Yang followed the map on the scroll and advanced at high speed.
He rushed straight toward Cangshi Town.
On the way there, he also took the chance to experience some of the local customs of the Mystic Realm.
This Mystic Realm and his original world were simply two different worlds.
In his original world, most people were ordinary, busy and running around for their livelihood.
Life in the big cities was mundane and ordinary.
But in this Mystic Realm, cultivators were everywhere.
In every village and every small town he passed, almost everyone was focused on cultivation.
All of them were pursuing the goal of cultivation.
Some schools and some sects affiliated with Cangnan Academy were also entirely composed of cultivators.
There wasn’t a single ordinary person.
Cangnan Academy was one of the major powers in the Mystic Realm, so all the sects, villages, and towns near Cangnan Academy were its subordinate forces.
So, wearing the Cangnan Academy uniform, Chen Yang attracted a lot of attention along the way.
Almost everyone cast envious gazes at him.
Although the Mystic Realm was full of cultivators, to enter a major sect you needed exceptionally high talent and strength.
Not everyone had the ability to join a major sect.
And since Chen Yang belonged to Cangnan Academy, he naturally received respect, and even envy.
Chen Yang originally wanted to wander around a bit more and learn about the Mystic Realm.
But due to the limited time, he could only dismiss that idea and head straight toward Cangshi Town.
After about three hours, he arrived at his destination, the area of Cangshi Town.
On the way, although the villages he saw were all inhabited by cultivators, everyone’s faces were fairly calm.
This showed that they lived in a peaceful region.
Unless they had enemies or something of the sort, their faces generally wouldn’t show other emotions.
But once he entered the territory of Cangshi Town, it was different.
The cultivators here all seemed to carry a murderous air.
And the way they looked at others was full of vigilance.
Chen Yang could understand this.
After all, this was a border region, extremely chaotic.
One careless moment and you could be killed, or murdered for your wealth.
Despite the short distance between the two, the lifestyles in the two regions were vastly different.
"Help, sob..."
Not long after entering Cangshi Town’s territory, Chen Yang, flying high in the sky, suddenly heard a girl’s cry for help coming from a forest in the distance.
The voice was extremely urgent, tinged with sobs.
Huh?
Feeling that something was happening, Chen Yang immediately changed direction and flew toward the source of the sound.
A moment later, he arrived above a forest.
He saw a young maiden in the woods, supporting an old man as they staggered along in flight.
They seemed to be fleeing from some pursuing threat.
"Help, someone please save us, sob sob..."
The girl ran while crying out for help.
"Hahaha, you still think you can run? It’s at least five or six li from here to Cangshi Town. Do you really think you can make it?"
"Be good and stop. Let us brothers enjoy ourselves a bit. If we’re pleased, we might even spare your lives."
