Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2355 - 2311: Finding the Culprit

Although the situation seemed to have reached a stalemate, the actual circumstances were very unfavorable for Chen Yang.

This was because the effectiveness of the Greater Restoration Elixir was time-bound.

If the elixir’s effects played out before the Old Emperor’s spiritual energy was smoothly circulated, the Old Emperor would still die.

Thus, he could not afford to delay.

"Who exactly is acting in the shadows?"

Chen Yang gritted his teeth, feeling immense pressure.

His gaze swept over Python King, but Python King was calm and composed, showing no sign of making a move.

Python King’s heir?

He didn’t seem like it either.

He just stood honestly beside Python King, without a trace of spiritual energy flowing through him.

If it’s not them, then who could it be?

Chen Yang’s gaze quickly scanned over, almost sweeping over everyone in the hall.

Ultimately, a person standing behind Python King caught Chen Yang’s attention.

He clearly remembered that apart from the heir, there was no one else beside Python King.

How did a person suddenly appear?

Could it be him?

Chen Yang had a suspicion in his heart, then directly sent out a Gathering Spirit Seal towards that person.

Boom!!

Chen Yang’s spiritual energy erupted, sending an attack directly over.

"Outrageous! How dare you attempt to assassinate Python King."

Because the person stood with Python King, some people saw Chen Yang’s attack towards Python King’s direction and instinctively thought Chen Yang was attacking Python King.

In reality, Chen Yang was targeting the person behind Python King.

A guard immediately stepped forward, slashing down and directly extinguishing Chen Yang’s Gathering Spirit Seal.

"How dare you attempt to assassinate Python King!!"

After the attack was dispelled, several people stepped forward and loudly rebuked Chen Yang.

However, despite the attack not reaching the target,

his goal was achieved.

At this moment, Chen Yang could almost confirm that the person manipulating those mosquitoes was the one behind Python King.

Because just as the Gathering Spirit Seal flew over, the person appeared startled, and the mosquitoes instantly hovered mid-air.

What did this imply?

It indicated that the mosquitoes were linked to that person.

That person had stopped controlling them during his moment of distraction.

This caused the mosquitoes to halt mid-air without acting.

"Kill him."

Python King’s guards rushed out, shouting to kill Chen Yang.

Prince Jing Kang and others at this point were stunned, not expecting such a situation to arise.

But regardless of the situation, they could not allow Python King’s men to kill Chen Yang.

"What are you doing? Using weapons in Taihe Hall, are you rebelling?" Prince Jing Kang stepped forward, blocking between Python King and Chen Yang.

"Crown Prince, who is this person you’ve brought? In front of civil and military officials, he dared to assassinate Python King?" The Prime Minister quickly stepped out, eagerly placing blame.

Python King himself certainly wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

He stepped forward, releasing a strong aura.

"Crown Prince, is this person you’ve brought a master or an assassin? Why did he attempt to assassinate me?" Python King questioned aggressively.

Prince Jing Kang looked troubled and turned to Chen Yang.

At this moment, Taihe Hall was already tense.

The situation in Taihe Hall was just the surface; outside the hall, thousands of axe-wielding soldiers were already in position.

At any moment, they could charge in.

Just as Prince Jing Kang was unsure how to respond, Chen Yang spoke up.

"I’m not an assassin. Someone is attempting to murder the Emperor."

Chen Yang’s words shocked everyone.

"Someone is attempting to murder Father Emperor? Brother Chen Yang, what’s going on?" Prince Jing Kang was shocked, seemingly beginning to understand.

Chen Yang wouldn’t indiscriminately target Python King without good reason.

"You’re talking nonsense! With so many people around, who would harm the Emperor? You are the closest to him; are you accusing yourself?" The Prime Minister immediately retorted loudly.

The civil and military officials were now highly agitated, assuming Chen Yang was the assassin.

"I’m indeed closest to the Emperor, but someone is using secret techniques to control small mosquitoes to try and assassinate him, which I uncovered. Otherwise, why would my treatment be interrupted?" Chen Yang loudly defended himself.

His words caused the officials to clamor.

Many people slowly began to realize.

Indeed, why would treatment suddenly stop?

And then launching an attack on Python King; all this was too absurd.

Besides, Python King was a mighty Transcend Mortality Realm warrior, and although Chen Yang’s attack was fierce, assassinating a Transcend Mortality Realm warrior was overly grandiose.

The situation had erupted suddenly, leaving many unable to react.

Upon careful consideration, it’s unlikely the situation is as simple as it seemed.

"Who is assassinating the Emperor?"

"Master Chen, who is covertly acting?"

...

Immediately, ministers loyal to the Emperor believed Chen Yang and began inquiring about the assassin’s whereabouts.

"Nonsense."

Seeing the situation take a turn, Python King knew it couldn’t continue.

Otherwise, the existence of the Ghost Doctor would certainly be exposed.

He suddenly made a move, Cultivation Technique circulating, rising to attack Chen Yang in the hall.

A Transcend Mortality Realm warrior’s strike was too fast to be seen.

Chen Yang simply didn’t have time to react.

Fortunately, Qin Qingfeng was present.

He was constantly watching Python King.

Since they were both Transcend Mortality Realm warriors, how could he not notice Python King’s move?

Therefore, at the moment Python King moved, he also acted.

Rushing forward, he blocked in front of Chen Yang, the two clashing palms directly.

The palm imprints met in the air, with massive spiritual energy continuously pouring toward each other.

Python King hovered mid-air, while Qin Qingfeng stood upon the hall.

The two were immediately at a stalemate, neither forcing the other back.

"Python King, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be you’re somehow connected to the assassin Chen Yang named?" Qin Qingfeng sneered coldly and spoke calmly.

"Old fool, get out of my way; this one’s nonsense is dangerous to let him treat the Imperial Brother." Python King shouted angrily.

"Ha, Python King, aren’t your words a bit excessive? Everyone witnessed Chen Yang treating His Majesty. Are we all blind? If you strike like this, aren’t you afraid His Majesty could be harmed? What’s your true intention?" Qin Qingfeng sharply pointed out Python King’s logical flaw.

"Imperial Uncle, stop! Are you trying to harm Father Emperor?" Prince Jing Kang also shouted loudly.

"Prince Python, stop! The Emperor is at stake!"

"This Master Chen indeed has medical skills, and hasn’t acted against the Emperor."

...

The ministers echoed, urging Python King to cease.

The power of the officials was not to be underestimated by Python King.

After all, the structure of the Great Jing Dynasty depended on these officials.

Seeing Qin Qingfeng blocking him, he couldn’t kill Chen Yang, and thus had to relent.

With a burst of force, his figure flew back, returning to his original standing place.
