Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2163 - 2119: Entering the Vein

"There’s been an accident in the mine, and it’s crucial for the future development of Cangshi Town. As the mayor, it’s my responsibility to handle this trouble. If you all are reluctant, I’ll accompany the expert," Tang Jingshan declared with noble intentions, ignoring the strange looks from others.

For those unaware, these words would undoubtedly be moving.

They would think he’s a good person.

"Heh, alright," Zheng Dayou sneered coldly.

Tang Jingshan had put it that way, so there wasn’t much Zheng could say. He just nodded silently and stepped aside.

Xiao Xin remained silent throughout, and with Tang Jingshan’s daring statement, he saw no reason to speak.

"Expert, what do you think? Shall we go down to investigate together, and if possible, solve this problem directly?"

Tang Jingshan asked Chen Yang since no one else was speaking.

Chen Yang’s gaze was fixed on Tang Jingshan.

Tang Jingshan’s behavior today was unusually strange.

It always felt like he had ulterior motives.

Yet, all his actions gave nothing away and left no clue to his intentions.

But since he claimed he could accompany down the mine, Chen Yang naturally couldn’t refuse.

He came to solve the problem, and indeed needed to investigate.

Otherwise, without knowing what the ghostly apparition truly was, how could he talk about solving the issue?

"Alright, since Mayor Tang says so, let’s go down together. I want to see what’s so mysterious about this."

Chen Yang nodded in agreement.

"No time to lose, I’ll immediately gather experts from the residence, and we’ll head to the mine together,"

Tang Jingshan said enthusiastically and promptly went to gather people as soon as he saw Chen Yang agree.

Once assembled, they left the town and headed to the spirit stone mine where the ghostly apparition was last spotted.

"Mayor, you’re finally here. The mines have been strange lately, with incidents occurring often,"

The mine manager, anxious and worried, rushed forward when he saw Tang Jingshan arriving with Chen Yang and others.

"Yes, we’ve come with the expert to handle this matter," Tang Jingshan nodded and then asked the mine manager to lead the way to the cave where the apparition was recently seen.

Upon reaching the cave entrance, Chen Yang’s keen senses detected a very dangerous aura.

The sense of danger was peculiar.

Indescribable.

Nevertheless, it felt both oppressive and chilling, foreboding danger.

"Are you sure it’s here?"

Tang Jingshan glanced inside the mine and then turned to ask the mine manager.

"I’m sure, it’s here."

The mine manager nodded.

"Alright," Tang Jingshan also nodded, then looked at Chen Yang and said, "Expert, shall we go down now, or what do you suggest?"

Chen Yang felt the danger, but it wasn’t overwhelmingly so.

"Let’s go down and have someone lead the way,"

Chen Yang decided to take a look.

To see what might be in the mine.

"Alright,"

Tang Jingshan nodded, immediately calling over an experienced old miner.

The miner had only the strength of the Xuan level, having worked in the mines for years, he was familiar with the situations below.

He had also personally seen the ghostly apparition before.

Luckily, he had managed to escape.

This time, to get him to lead the way, Tang Jingshan promised him many benefits, which convinced him to go down again.

This expedition included six people.

Besides the guide miner, there were also three of Tang Jingshan’s men.

Three strong practitioners in the late Gathering Spirit stage.

They were Tang Jingshan’s most valuable men.

Initially, Chen Yang didn’t plan on bringing more people.

But Tang Jingshan insisted that the more people, the safer, so Chen Yang agreed.

"Family Head Xiao, Leader Zheng, you can wait up top. The expert and I will go down, and we should be back soon," Tang Jingshan arrogantly said to Xiao Xin and Zheng Dayou before descending.

Both Xiao Xin and Zheng Dayou found Tang Jingshan’s behavior odd.

But they couldn’t pinpoint exactly why.

"Hopefully, you can clear up the situation," Xiao Xin nodded, watching Chen Yang, Tang Jingshan, and others enter the mine.

As they entered the mine, they followed the old miner deeper in.

While delving deeper, Chen Yang observed his surroundings.

He noticed the mining structure of this spirit stone mine was almost identical to those he had seen in other realms.

Above was a thick layer of earth.

With almost no spirit stones present.

After walking along a narrow passage for a while, they eventually reached the mining area.

This place resembled an underground world.

The mined tunnels interconnected like a web, and without the old miner’s guidance, one could easily get lost.

Moreover, the air inside was thick and the aura strange.

Everything felt off.

"How much longer until we reach the apparition’s location?"

Having walked for so long without reaching the destination, Chen Yang couldn’t help but ask.

"Sir, there’s still a distance to go. We’re only in the shallowest section, we must go deeper to see..."

The old miner, leading the way, began speaking with a trembling voice.

Evidently, the ghostly apparition terrified them all.

Hearing it would take more time, Chen Yang stopped speaking, silently following the old miner deeper in.

About twenty minutes later, they had ventured deep enough.

The air grew murkier, the passage even narrower.

But that was just the beginning.

The most unsettling part was that upon entering further here, not only did Chen Yang feel the eerie aura, but even Tang Jingshan and his men began sensing it as well.

The aura was unspeakably strange.

Sufficient to chill the bones and crawl the skin.

"Si-si-si-sir, it’s around here. This is where apparitions usually appear."

Arriving at this point, the old miner became apprehensive, refusing to lead further and instead pointing the way from the rear.

By order, with the miner no longer leading, it was Tang Jingshan’s turn to take point.

Yet, he appeared somewhat uncertain.

Clearly hesitant to proceed, he returned his gaze to Chen Yang.

The meaning was obvious: he wanted Chen Yang to take the lead.

"Stay close,"

Chen Yang resignedly understood that with his strength, he had to lead.

"Alright, everyone follow along,"

Tang Jingshan promptly nodded, continuing in behind Chen Yang.’

The atmosphere here was already intensely ominous, prompting Chen Yang to remain vigilant during the descent.

He constantly watched his surroundings, secretly circulating the Demon Suppression Record cultivation technique within his body!

This technique had a natural restraining effect on malevolent entities.

Perfectly suited for the current situation.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

After advancing another hundred meters, a cold draft suddenly blew through the cave!

This set everyone on high alert.

Given that they were several kilometers deep underground, how could there be wind blowing in?

Everything was far too strange!

"Mayor Tang..."

Chen Yang was about to turn back and ask if there was a ventilation outlet nearby.

When suddenly, with a boom, a massive boulder fell behind him!

Separating him from Tang Jingshan.

Chen Yang was startled!

What is happening?

"Hahaha, Chen Yang, enjoy this feast; I’ll come down to check on you in a couple of days,"

Just as Chen Yang was puzzled, Tang Jingshan’s triumphant laughter came from the other side of the stone.

"Mayor Tang, what do you mean? Are you trying to harm me?"

Hearing the manic laughter, how could Chen Yang not realize? The boulder’s fall wasn’t coincidental.

It was orchestrated by Tang Jingshan.

The purpose was to trap him deep in the mine to face the apparition alone.

This was an attempt to doom him.
