Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2221 - 2177: The Secret of the Cave Dwelling

After hearing this, Chen Yang was indeed tempted.

A mighty one’s abode, surely there must be many good things inside that can help him enhance his strength.

For him, Huang Tianwen’s information was indeed useful.

"Their City Lord told you about such a big matter, and you just told me like this? Aren’t you afraid he’ll blame you later?" Chen Yang looked at Huang Tianwen and said.

Huang Tianwen showed no sign of remorse.

"To be honest, although the Chi Yang City Lord is cordial with me on the surface, we are actually incompatible in secret. He didn’t tell me this out of trust, but to show off, so he said it."

"Moreover, Chi Yang City is already powerful. If he gains the abode’s fortune, our city might face more hardships. Therefore, I shared this information with you, the mighty one."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang understood what was going on.

"Since that’s the case, I agree to help you with the antidote." Chen Yang nodded slightly, agreeing.

Upon hearing this, a look of delight immediately appeared on Huang Tianwen’s face, and he respectfully cupped his hands towards Chen Yang: "Thank you, mighty one."

"However, I must mention upfront that I’m not very familiar with the elixir, and it might take some time to concoct an antidote." Chen Yang mentioned in advance.

"Of course I understand." Huang Tianwen promptly nodded in agreement and then cautiously asked Chen Yang, "But, can you give a rough timeframe?"

"After the incident with the Worship Heaven Sect, the people in the city are panicking. I need to use this to reassure them."

Huang Tianwen looked somewhat anxious.

Chen Yang could understand, as almost everyone in the city had consumed that elixir. If its adverse effects appeared, the whole city would suffer.

As the City Lord, Huang Tianwen was naturally worried.

"At most three to five days."

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then stated directly.

"Alright." Huang Tianwen nodded energetically.

Three to five days should be enough to comfort the people within the city.

"Alright." Chen Yang nodded and, after exchanging a few simple words with Huang Tianwen, then Huang Tianwen left.

"Chi Yang City... mighty one’s abode."

Once Huang Tianwen departed, Chen Yang immediately began pondering about the information he was just given.

According to him, the Chi Yang City Lord wishes to privately seize the abode’s fortune, hence he disclosed no information externally.

The forces entering there are all from Chi Yang City, along with some forces that sensed something amiss.

This suggests that, by the time the abode opens, not many will enter it.

Moreover, the experts from Cangnan Academy’s subordinate cities aren’t extremely formidable.

If he goes, he’s sure to get a share of the fortune.

Thinking of this, he decided to ask Tu Qi to go with him when the time comes.

As for Yang Qingwan and Chen Jing, Chen Yang had no intention of informing them about this.

Because his relationship with both of them wasn’t very close.

He was grateful to them for helping with the city’s matter.

But gratitude is gratitude; not everything can be used to repay them.

Especially when it comes to such fortunes, it mustn’t be disclosed lightly, or it would surely incite a storm.

Although decided to go, there were still two matters to take care of before going.

First, he needed to return to Cangnan Academy to submit the assignment.

If it went past the time, his efforts would be wasted.

That couldn’t happen.

Second, he had to make the elixir’s antidote.

Since he promised, he had to fulfill it.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang didn’t ponder much more.

Immediately, he sat crossed-legged on the bed, scouring the Medicine King Scripture in his mind for a solution.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Per the agreement with Yang Qingwan, it was time for them to return to the academy.

Knowing they’re leaving, Huang Tianwen came early to see them off.

Chen Yang had already informed him of his plan.

He first needed to return to the academy; regarding the antidote matter, he’d either send someone with it or personally bring it over later.

Huang Tianwen trusted Chen Yang’s word, so he didn’t say much and came early to see them off.

And escorted them all the way to outside the city.

"Honored mighty ones, on behalf of all the city inhabitants, I thank you for your kindness," Huang Tianwen was very courteous, expressing gratitude all along the way.

"No need to be so formal, City Lord Huang. Eliminating demonic cultivators is the duty of every cultivator. Furthermore, we are disciples of Cangnan Academy, so it’s our responsibility," Chen Yang replied.

"Indeed, City Lord Huang, no need to say more. Next time, when the two of us pass through the city, a warm welcome will suffice." Tu Qi said with a smile while munching on a chicken leg.

Huang Tianwen smiled and immediately nodded: "Certainly, definitely."

"Enough, we should get going."

At this moment, Yang Qingwan spoke up.

"Okay, let’s go." Chen Yang also nodded, then bid farewell to Huang Tianwen with cupped hands, and the group activated their spiritual energy, soaring towards Cangnan Academy.

Just as they left, three people in the nearby woods noticed the scenario.

"Things are getting complicated; that fellow not only has an extra person by his side, but now even members of the Yang Family and Chen Family are near him," said the leader, his face gloomy.

His name was Zou Tianxu.

He was from the Zou family.

And he was the brother of Zou Tianming, whom Chen Yang had killed on the arena!

He knew Chen Yang was out on a mission, and he had led the family’s other two top experts to ambush him.

Last time, Chen Yang managed to escape them; this time, they planned to ambush outside the city.

But unexpectedly, Chen Yang now had two more experts with him.

This left him uncertain on what decision to make.

Strike?

Yang Qingwan and Chen Jing are not weak!

Moreover, their backgrounds and status are higher than the Zou family.

Offending the Yang family would be unwise.

Not strike?

He couldn’t swallow it.

His brother was killed, how could he let this grudge easily slide?

"Brother Xu, I say that fellow is likely putting on a show. What status do the Yang Family members hold? Why would they help him?" said a female companion, suggesting immediate action.

The other person also chimed in, "I think so too."

"Brother Xu, I’ve already investigated that fellow thoroughly. He’s just a bumpkin who’s been in this realm for barely over a month, how could he be connected with the Yang family’s young lady?"

"It’s most likely just a coincidental travel together, with absolutely no deeper connection."

Zou Tianxu, initially hesitating and considering abandoning the action, found the comments from the two plausible.

How could a new bumpkin from this realm have ties with the Yang family’s young lady?

At most, just coincidental travel together. Thinking this, he decided to proceed with the action!

"Alright, then let’s go, we must avenge Tianming!" Zou Tianxu’s eyes burned with vengeful fury.

Not only was Zou Tianming his brother, but also a genius of the Zou family.

Within the influence of Cangnan Academy, the Zou family could barely be called a mid-tier force, hoping that Zou Tianming’s growth would lead them to become a major faction.

Unexpectedly, he was killed in the arena.

And by someone who had been in the realm for a mere month.

This made the Zou family the laughingstock of other forces, unable to hold their head up high.

Such hatred must be avenged!
