Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2207 - 2163: Aftereffects

"Little brother, you’re younger than me, you should devoutly worship the heavens. Only then will you gain greater power!" The middle-aged man saw that Chen Yang wasn’t speaking and instead started trying to persuade him.

Chen Yang was speechless, but he still responded to him with a few polite words and a smile.

Then he hastily found an excuse and brushed him off.

"Chen Daneng, how’s the situation?"

Huang Tianwen’s attention just now had been fixed on Chen Yang; he had noticed some subtle changes in Chen Yang’s expression.

He knew things were extremely bad.

"This kind of elixir is made with very aggressive ingredients. It causes great damage to the meridians. The aftereffects will very likely be a backlash—while they fall from a high Realm, it will also affect their original foundation."

Chen Yang replied.

Huang Tianwen’s face turned extremely ugly when he heard this.

If that was the case, then even if they got rid of Zhang Qun now, the people of Weng City would still be greatly affected?

"However, it’s not everyone who’ll end up like that."

Just as Huang Tianwen was about to fall into despair, Chen Yang suddenly added another sentence.

That gave Huang Tianwen hope!

"Not everyone? What do you mean?" With hopeful eyes, Huang Tianwen looked at Chen Yang.

"This elixir is very fierce in nature, but fortunately, the amount Zhang Qun gives out is small. If they just take one or two pills, the damage to them is still limited."

"If they take too many, though, the consequences will be unimaginable. Everyone will suffer backlash; not only will their bodies be overwhelmed, their Realm will also fall."

Chen Yang voiced his own view.

That middle-aged man’s meridians had been damaged so easily just now mainly because his strength wasn’t high and he was getting on in years.

But if some younger people took it, it might not cause such severe harm.

"Chen Daneng, the time left to us is running out."

Hearing this, Huang Tianwen’s pessimistic mindset was adjusted a little.

"Mm, let’s go back first. This isn’t the place to discuss things."

Chen Yang understood as well.

Since Zhang Qun could hand out so many elixirs today, he might very well do the same tomorrow.

They couldn’t just watch as all the ordinary people of Weng City were poisoned by Zhang Qun.

So they had to seize the time to expose his lies and annihilate the Worship Heaven Sect.

Otherwise, the entire Weng City would be doomed.

After investigating the side effects of the elixir, Chen Yang, together with Tu Qi and Huang Tianwen, immediately returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.

They began discussing countermeasures.

After a round of calculations and assessing both sides’ strength.

They discovered another huge problem.

That was, in every respect, they seemed to be no match for the Worship Heaven Sect.

The Worship Heaven Sect’s Zhang Qun was immensely powerful, and tonight he had absorbed so much power of faith that his strength had probably risen to a new level.

He was far beyond what any of them could deal with.

Moreover, when they had gone up the mountain that day, they had seen the number of the Worship Heaven Sect’s followers.

There were so many believers; their numbers were definitely several times those of the City Lord’s Mansion.

They were being crushed in every aspect—how were they supposed to handle that?

"Chen Yang, if it really won’t work, I’ll make a trip back to the Academy!"

After pondering for a long time and finding no clue, Tu Qi suddenly spoke up.

"You’re going back to the Academy?"

Chen Yang looked at him.

"Yeah. I still have some connections at the Academy. Pulling in some outside help won’t be a problem. When the time comes, we go straight up Tianshan and kill Zhang Qun." Tu Qi came up with the most clumsy plan.

But this clumsiest plan seemed to be the best option for now.

The main issue was that the situation here really couldn’t be dragged out any longer.

With every day they delayed, Zhang Qun would absorb more power of faith.

And ordinary people would be at further risk of being poisoned.

"Chen Daneng, what do you think?"

Huang Tianwen also knew that Tu Qi’s plan had its drawbacks.

If they launched a strong assault on the Worship Heaven Sect.

It would definitely cause massive casualties among ordinary people; for Weng City, that would be a catastrophe.

But in the face of such a dangerous elixir, they didn’t have much time left.

If they didn’t choose a strong offensive, all the ordinary people in the city would be at risk of being poisoned and crippled.

Whereas a strong assault, although it would cause heavy casualties, would at least save a good number of people.

Chen Yang fell into thought and didn’t agree right away.

After thinking for quite a while, he eventually agreed to Tu Qi’s proposal.

"Tu Qi, I’ll have to trouble you to make this trip then. I’ll owe you this favor." Chen Yang looked at Tu Qi with gratitude.

If Tu Qi could really find reinforcements, that would be a huge help to him.

"Heh, what favor? We’re friends; helping each other out is only natural, right? It’s settled then. I’ll set out now and be back at the latest by tomorrow night."

Tu Qi chuckled, stood up directly, then after briefly talking with Chen Yang and Huang Tianwen for a bit more, he set out.

He soared straight into the sky, heading back to Cangnan Academy.

Watching Tu Qi leave, Chen Yang and Huang Tianwen didn’t continue talking.

Instead, they left the main hall and each returned to their rooms.

Back in his room, Chen Yang didn’t enter a cultivation state. Instead, he once again pondered: if they really had to go for a strong assault, in what way could they maximize the safety of the people?

This was a big problem.

Chen Yang pondered for a long time.

Finally, he thought of a solution.

Weng City, Weng City—why not give Zhang Qun a "please the lord into the urn" trap!

By the time he came up with the plan, it was already dawn.

Because of the elixir from last night, after daybreak the whole Weng City boiled over again.

All the people felt their strength improving and placed immense trust in the Worship Heaven Sect.

Early in the morning, they all faced Tianshan, bowing and kowtowing again and again in devout worship.

Afraid that if their hearts weren’t sincere enough, they wouldn’t receive the reward of the heavens.

Having come up with a plan, Chen Yang immediately went to find Huang Tianwen.

He asked him to send a letter to Zhang Qun at once!

Inviting Zhang Qun to come to Weng City and hold a grand dissemination conference!

They hoped he would personally come and explain the benefits of Heaven and how they should sincerely worship Heaven.

Huang Tianwen was very puzzled when he heard this proposal from Chen Yang. "Chen Daneng, the city is already in utter chaos."

"And at a time like this you still want to invite him here to spread their Worship Heaven Sect? Wouldn’t that just make the chaos even worse!"

"This isn’t making things worse. This is ’please the lord into the urn’!"

Chen Yang let out a cold laugh and said.

"Please the lord into the urn"?

Huang Tianwen was stunned; he didn’t quite understand what Chen Yang meant.

Seeing that he didn’t really get it, Chen Yang immediately explained his idea.

"If we launch a strong assault on Tianshan, we will definitely face Zhang Qun’s frenzied counterattack. At that point, the situation will be extremely uncontrollable."

"But if we invite Zhang Qun into the city and make our move here, both our chances of victory and the likelihood of avoiding collateral damage will be much better than with a direct assault on Tianshan."

Chen Yang said.

"Right! You’re right." As the lord of a city, how could Huang Tianwen not understand such a simple, easy-to-grasp principle.

Weng City was his territory; dealing with Zhang Qun here would definitely be much easier than attacking Tianshan head-on.

"Also, if you write another letter expressing your yearning for the Worship Heaven Sect, Zhang Qun will definitely let down his guard. That will be the best time for us to strike."

Chen Yang said.

Huang Tianwen fell silent. He knew this "please the lord into the urn" move of Chen Yang’s was indeed a good plan.

After thinking for two seconds, he agreed without hesitation!
