Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2229 - 2185: Entering Chi Yang City
Previously on Peach Blossom Divine Medical God...
"Do you have a Token?"
The armored figure continued to ask.
"Yes." Chen Yang nodded, and immediately took out the Token Huang Tianwen had given him before.
Seeing the Token, the armored figure didn’t make things difficult and let Chen Yang and Tu Qi pass through.
"Why are these guys acting all superior?"
After entering, Tu Qi couldn’t help but grumble.
Chen Yang chuckled, saying nothing.
He was long used to it.
In this realm, is such a thing rare?
Big cities have always looked down on small towns.
In the Mystic Realm, this situation is somewhat better.
If you’re a strong figure from a small city, ordinary people in big cities might even respect you.
But in this realm, even if you’re a wealthy person from a small city, ordinary people in big cities might still look down on you.
This is the so-called pride of metropolitan people.
"Let’s go. Let’s investigate the situation in the city first. Our special status makes being underestimated a good thing." Chen Yang spoke.
"Okay."
Tu Qi nodded and followed Chen Yang, leaving the city gate and heading towards the bustling parts of the city.
Chi Yang City is much larger than Weng City.
Roughly estimated, it’s at least twice the size of Weng City.
And the population here is quite bustling, the streets are filled with people.
The sounds of vendors selling their wares are constant.
All along the way, Tu Qi was extremely excited.
"Wow, I haven’t been out for a walk in so long, looking at all this delicious food, I can’t resist, Chen Yang brother, how about we find a place to eat something and fill our stomachs?" Chi Yang City’s streets are lined with vendors selling goods.
The aroma is everywhere, how could Tu Qi, with his cravings, resist seeing all this?
Immediately, he swallowed his saliva greedily.
Chen Yang saw this, thought for a moment, then agreed with a smile.
"Alright, why don’t you pick a shop, let’s just eat a little." Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Alright, I think that shop over there looks nice, Chen Yang brother, hurry up." Tu Qi excitedly dashed off.
As he ran, his hundreds of pounds made the ground seem to tremble.
Chen Yang smiled and followed, entering the shop together.
Then the two ordered a table full of food.
Actually, Chen Yang wasn’t very hungry, but seeing Tu Qi wanting to eat, besides, this restaurant is also a good place to gather information, so he came.
Halfway through their meal, the next table began discussing matters related to the ancient cave.
Though the Chi Yang City Lord was trying hard to block the news, Chi Yang City’s residents were right here.
No matter how he tries to block it, such a significant event couldn’t be hidden from everyone’s eyes.
"Hey, did you hear? That mountain in the south of the city is changing again, the entire mountain has completely turned into a volcano, and that powerful pressure is gradually dissipating."
"Wow, it’s changed again? Thinking back to when it erupted a while ago, it was truly terrifying, I wonder what’s underneath that place."
"Indeed terrifying, lately I’ve been feeling uneasy, like big things are going to happen."
"Hey, what else could it be? With such a huge event, I knew right away, it’s definitely some secret abode emerging."
"What? Secret abode?"
"What else could it be? Now the mountain is surrounded by the City Lord’s personal guards."
"Impressive, looks like our Chi Yang City will become the focus of Cangnan Academy."
"Who says otherwise? Just strange that it’s been many days since the incident, except for martial law, no one from Cangnan Academy has come over."
...
The next table continued their endless discussion, many people speculating what’s really beneath that mountain.
It seems that most of Chi Yang City’s ordinary citizens don’t know that an ancient cave has emerged.
The truth is held by most of the powerful figures.
"The Chi Yang City Lord has good means, managing to keep even Chi Yang City’s people deceived." Tu Qi said as he continued eating heartily.
Chen Yang was taken aback upon hearing this.
He hadn’t expected this guy, despite eating, was also listening to the conversation around.
"If the news isn’t tightly controlled, the incident would’ve been exposed long ago, why hasn’t there been a peep from the Academy?" Chen Yang smiled slightly, then urged Tu Qi to eat faster.
Once they’re finished, they should head to the south of the city.
From the conversations around, many powerful figures from surrounding forces have already gathered there.
The pressure from the cave could dissipate at any moment.
As soon as the pressure is gone, all powerful figures will rush forward to enter the ancient cave.
They don’t want to be left behind.
"Alright, I’m on it."
Tu Qi nodded, and began devouring the food on the table.
He ate quickly and soon finished all the delicacies on the table.
Even what wasn’t finished, he packed with him, still nibbling on a drumstick as they settled the bill.
"How can you eat so much?" Chen Yang asked, a little startled.
Tu Qi chuckled: "I’m born with a big appetite, my dad says I have a ’Devouring Heaven Stomach’."
"Indeed a Devouring Heaven Stomach."
Chen Yang laughed, giving him a thumbs up, then settled the bill.
The cost wasn’t high, two mid-grade Spirit Stones were enough.
After paying with Spirit Stones, Chen Yang immediately led Tu Qi out of Chi Yang City, directly heading south.
The way to the south was bustling.
Chi Yang City’s population is large.
The mountain where the ancient cave emerged is only ten kilometers away from Chi Yang City, not far at all.
Therefore, even more ordinary people came to watch the spectacle.
Everyone was talking about the mountain that burns with flames all over, like a giant furnace, and what’s hidden beneath it.
Only a few know it’s actually an ancient cave.
But those who know this news mostly remained silent.
Because those who came here and know about the ancient cave situation are all hoping to get a share of the spoils.
No one wants to spread the information, causing too big a commotion.
To avoid attracting super strong figures who might seize the opportunity, leaving them with nothing.
Including Chen Yang and Tu Qi.
Whatever happens, it’s the Chi Yang City Lord’s issue, unrelated to them, why bother informing others?
The way was bustling, but nearing the volcano, the crowd thinned.
Because this area was under martial law, ordinary people and those of unknown origin were blocked outside by the armored guards.
Only the strong ones and those from nearby factions were allowed into the restricted zone.
"Who goes there."
As Chen Yang and Tu Qi attempted to enter, they were stopped, but after showing the Token from Weng City, they were let in.
The armored guards here were more contemptuous compared to those at the city gates.
Seeing the Token Chen Yang presented, they wore disdainful expressions, even started mocking.
"Oh, people from Weng City? Why didn’t your City Lord come personally?"
The armored guard sneered.
Chen Yang paid no mind, as he wasn’t interested in arguing with them.
Tu Qi couldn’t stand this sarcastic attitude.
Immediately retorted: "Whether the City Lord comes or not is none of your business! How dare a little underling speak out of turn? Fear the consequences?"
"You..."
The armored guard was enraged, but feeling the pressure from Tu Qi, didn’t dare to act out.
A Gathering Spirit Realm actively provoking a Solidifying Pill, even if he’s beaten, he deserved it.
Even if their City Lord came, he couldn’t say anything.
"What’s your ’you’? Get out of my sight, say another word and I’ll make you pay." Tu Qi said angrily.
He even drew the kitchen knife from his waist.
Seeing the knife gleaming with cold light, the armored guard was intimidated, not daring to speak further.
