Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2170 - 2126: Zhao Shuo Driven to Fury
Previously on Peach Blossom Divine Medical God...
Because he knew that Zhao Shuo had been deeply rooted in the academy for many years, it was impossible for something like this to lead to any punishment.
On the contrary, if he directly accused Zhao Shuo, there was a risk of being counter-exploited by Zhao Shuo.
After all, he had no evidence to prove that all of this was orchestrated by Zhao Shuo.
"Hmm, since there’s a witness, this matter will be easier to handle."
"According to what you said, this matter isn’t your fault, the Disciplinary Hall will not punish you."
"You should return to your chamber first; I will send someone to investigate the specifics."
Elder Bai asked for clarification on the matter, then allowed Chen Yang to leave first.
"Thank you, Elder."
Chen Yang cupped his hands towards Elder Bai, then left.
Elder Bai watched Chen Yang’s departing figure, a rare smile appearing on his face.
"Cangshi Town is the most turbulent area, and he’s capable of settling with the Barbarian Bull Tribe in less than a month since enrolling; he is a promising seed." Elder Bai stroked his beard lightly, revealing a look of appreciation for Chen Yang in his eyes.
"Master, about Cangshi Town..."
Seeing this, the disciple stepped forward to inquire.
Elder Bai pondered slightly, then said, "That guy Zhao Shuo, he will surely make a fuss if he knows about this matter, you should immediately hurry to Cangshi Town and gather all the necessary certificates and evidence."
"If the matter is truly as he said, Tang Jingshan deserves to die, and there’s no need to pursue his responsibility further."
After Elder Bai finished speaking, the disciple responded and left.
Meanwhile, in Zhao Shuo’s chamber at the academy, a person dressed in black hurriedly entered.
He reported the events that happened in Cangshi Town to Zhao Shuo.
Not only did Chen Yang not die in the mine, but he also settled the ghosts within and killed Tang Jingshan, and has returned to the academy.
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Shuo immediately exploded with anger!
"What? Wasn’t it reported last night that the little brat was already trapped and doomed to die? How did the matter turn around so quickly?" Zhao Shuo slammed the table and angrily questioned the man in black.
Coincidentally, Li Tian was also in the chamber at this time.
After days of recuperation, he was almost fully recovered.
Though he wasn’t a match for Chen Yang, his hatred towards Chen Yang was massive.
He pinned his hopes on Zhao Shuo.
Hoping his mentor Zhao Shuo could help him exact revenge!
"Reporting to Elder... I, I’m not sure either, Tang Jingshan’s plan indeed succeeded at that time, but somehow, he killed his way out of the mine... and killed Tang Jingshan..." The man in black spoke nervously.
"Useless, a bunch of trash, unable to handle a small fry from the lower realm, what are you here for?" Zhao Shuo raged at the man in black, filled with fury.
He was truly infuriated.
For so many years, when had the students from the Fifth Region embarrassed him like this?
Moreover, his continual attempts had all failed, which made him intolerant.
"Calm down, Elder... This matter arose suddenly and our investigation was incorrect... That Chen Yang’s strength was not at the late Gathering Spirit but had already entered the Condensation Realm." The man in black, faced with the raging Zhao Shuo, trembled even more.
Before the elder, he was merely a humble subordinate.
"What? Condensation Realm?"
Zhao Shuo was shocked upon hearing the man in black.
He never expected that a bumpkin from the lower realm would possess such strength and talent.
To have Condensation Realm strength at such a young age, he would be considered a rare genius even in the Mystic Realm, right?
"Indeed, he’s at Condensation Realm, many people in Cangshi Town witnessed him sparring evenly with Niu Xiaosheng from the Barbarian Bull Tribe..." The man in black reported again.
"Niu Xiaosheng... the personal disciple of the Demon Bull King from the Ten Thousand Monster Sect?" Zhao Shuo squinted his eyes, his attitude slightly more relaxed.
If Chen Yang’s strength was at the Condensation Realm, the subordinates’ inadequacy was understandable.
After all, even he hadn’t anticipated this.
"Yes, precisely him, Chen Yang fought evenly with him; his strength is certainly not inferior to those at the Condensation Realm." The man in black nodded quickly.
Noticing Zhao Shuo’s tone soften, he was less anxious than before.
With the man in black’s confirmation, Zhao Shuo fell silent, but his face was frighteningly dark.
The killing intent around him grew more intense.
Now, as Chen Yang increasingly showcased his exceptional cultivation talent, Zhao Shuo began to feel uncomfortable deep within.
"Master, this person must not be spared... Tang Jingshan must’ve already betrayed us, he’s surely aware we’ve acted against him..." Li Tian spoke up at this time, his words filled with fear and hatred towards Chen Yang!
"Yes, naturally he cannot be spared." Zhao Shuo nodded sinisterly, then once more fell silent.
He secretly plotted in his heart, pondering how to devise a foolproof plan to eliminate Chen Yang perfectly!
After a while, Zhao Shuo finally spoke.
"Condensation Realm? Hehe, looks like I’ll have to let your senior brother take action."
Zhao Shuo let out a chilly laugh.
Li Tian felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing it.
"B-Big Senior Brother? Has he returned from the North Region?" Li Tian asked in surprise.
"He returned a long time ago, and I’ve heard he gained quite the opportunities, his cultivation has greatly risen; dealing with Chen Yang would be as simple as crushing an ant." Zhao Shuo said maliciously.
Upon hearing this, Li Tian was delighted!
"Wonderful, with Big Senior Brother taking charge, that brat can’t be rescued!"
...
On the other hand, back in his chamber, Chen Yang didn’t venture out for the next two days.
He remained in his chamber all along, absorbing spiritual energy to elevate his cultivation.
And to refine himself.
The experience in Cangshi Town awakened him to many insights about the Mystic Realm.
Likewise, he gained substantial combat experience.
He needed some time to digest that combat experience, to refine it.
On the third day, the arrival of a Disciplinary Hall disciple jarred him out of his refining state.
"Chen Yang, the results of the investigation are out, Tang Jingshan committed an unforgivable crime by killing academy disciples, you killing him was a legitimate act of self-defense; after the Disciplinary Hall’s deliberations, this matter is settled." The Disciplinary Hall disciple stood before Chen Yang, speaking as if issuing a judgment.
Chen Yang was quite surprised by this result.
Even though he was justified, and he trusted Elder Bai to give a fair judgment.
He expected that since he acted first before reporting, the Disciplinary Hall might impose slight punishment.
But unexpectedly, it was entirely bypassed, the matter passed just like this.
It was indeed surprising.
"Thank you, brother." Chen Yang smiled, politely addressing the Disciplinary Hall disciple.
"You’re welcome, it’s all decided by Elder Bai, if you’re thankful, thank Elder Bai!" The Disciplinary Hall disciple smiled, then left the chamber.
After seeing the Disciplinary Hall disciple out, Chen Yang sighed in relief, the matter considered thoroughly settled.
"Zhao Shuo, Li Tian."
However, in Chen Yang’s mind, this matter wasn’t over.
Tang Jingshan was dead.
