The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2408 - 2397: The Great Reversal

Up in the sky.

The gray-robed elder and the black-robed elder kept dragging out the fight with Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui.

Even though Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui were going all out, they were still stretched too thin to do anything else.

On the ground, Ghost Venerable and the other cultivators all raised their heads, staring fixedly at the sky.

They had originally thought that Ye Chenfeng would be captured very soon, but who would have guessed that an Elder would suddenly rush out from Medicine Saint Hall, supposedly acting on the Wus’ highest directive.

The Wus.

Everyone present knew it had to be that alchemy holy land, otherwise Medicine Saint Hall would never take it so seriously.

They thought that after just one glance at the highest directive, Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong would still immediately make a move against Ye Chenfeng.

But Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong’s expressions seemed somewhat off.

Ye Chenfeng and Cheng Yuanmu’s group hovered in midair.

Ye Chenfeng’s brows hadn’t relaxed for even a moment. Now that Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui were both being stalled by the gray-robed and black-robed elders, if he first brought Cheng Yuanmu and the others into his small world, Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui would probably end up besieged by four Early Divine Venerate Realm experts.

Ye Chenfeng still didn’t know what the Wus’ highest directive that Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong had seen actually said. It would be extremely easy for him to protect himself, but he also had to guarantee the safety of Cheng Yuanmu, Zhang Yingnian, and the others.

After staring blankly for a moment, Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong finally came back to their senses. Seeing the gray-robed elder, the black-robed elder, Zhang Yingnian, and Zhang Yingshui locked in fierce combat, the two of them simultaneously shouted in a booming voice, "Stop, all of you stop first."

Their bellow echoed through the heavens.

Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong were truly afraid. They had once visited the Wus as well.

Everyone in the Wus was incredibly arrogant. Even the younger generation in the Wus didn’t spare either of them a single respectful glance.

The most important thing was that the Wus were not only an alchemy holy land, but also one of the Six Great Hidden Sects in the Ancient Realm. That meant the Wus’ overall combat strength was also ranked at the very top of the Ancient Realm.

The gray-robed elder and the black-robed elder were only Guest Elders of Medicine Saint Hall. Since even Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong had called for them to stop, their figures immediately pulled away from Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui, retreating directly to stand beside Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong.

No longer being stalled, Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui both felt this was inexplicable. Just what the hell were Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong trying to pull? They absolutely didn’t believe that Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong had decided to just let this matter go.

Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui stepped across the air and returned to Ye Chenfeng’s side.

Ye Chenfeng knew this was an opportunity. He had to bring everyone into his small world as quickly as possible. This whole incident had been caused because of him; he could not drag Zhang Yingnian and the others down with him.

The cultivators on the ground were growing more and more puzzled.

They had thought Ye Chenfeng could be captured in no time, so why had Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong suddenly stopped? This simply didn’t make sense.

"What is Medicine Saint Hall trying to do? This time they were clearly the ones in the wrong from the start. Acting like this is really shameless. Don’t tell me they truly don’t intend to talk any reason at all?"

"Quit spouting useless crap. We’re all just small fry here—just watch the show. Matters at this level aren’t for us to point fingers at. If the Old Ancestor of Medicine Saint Hall happens to hear you, you might not be walking out of here today."

...

The cultivators on the ground were all talking at once. Most of them were sensible and didn’t side with Medicine Saint Hall just because of its power.

Ghost Venerable’s gaze had been locked on Ye Chenfeng the entire time. He was simply too interested in Ye Chenfeng. If he knew that his Heaven and Earth Flame had been devoured by Ye Chenfeng’s Green Flame, he probably wouldn’t be able to stand here calmly watching the spectacle.

Just as Ye Chenfeng was about to send Cheng Yuanmu and the others into the small world one by one...

He saw Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong’s faces full of pent-up frustration, but then, that frustrated look was quickly suppressed. The two of them simultaneously bowed deeply toward Ye Chenfeng and said, "Little friend, we of Medicine Saint Hall were too overbearing before. Please, we ask that you forgive us. As for where the Wus are located, we can tell you in private."

"Since you’ve already come all the way to Myriad Fire City, little friend, why not stay at Medicine Saint Hall for a while? In one month, Medicine Saint Hall will be taking a group of young disciples to the Wus. At that time, little friend can travel together with us."

Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong’s disciples had died at Ye Chenfeng’s hands, so of course the two of them very much wanted to kill Ye Chenfeng.

But they couldn’t afford to offend the Wus—and they absolutely must not offend them!

In the end, they could only choose to bow their heads. For Ye Chenfeng to make the Wus directly send down their highest directive showed that Ye Chenfeng was extremely important to the Wus. If they dared ignore the Wus’ highest directive, paper could never wrap fire; in the end the Wus would definitely learn what had happened here.

Not only would the two of them be finished; it was very possible that the entire Medicine Saint Hall would be finished.

After Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong bent at the waist and apologized...

Ye Chenfeng, who had originally been about to send Cheng Yuanmu and the others into the small world, paused slightly in his movements, and Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui were both full of bewilderment. With what they knew of Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, those two old codgers were the sort who never gave up until they hit the Yellow River.

The cultivators on the ground kept digging at their ears. They thought they must have misheard. Just now Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong had been vowing with absolute certainty to personally deal with Ye Chenfeng, so how had they suddenly turned around and bowed to apologize to Ye Chenfeng?

There were quite a few keen-eyed people present.

They all noticed that it was only after seeing the Wus’ highest directive that Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong’s behavior had become so strange. In other words, this change in their attitude, this dramatic reversal in the situation, was very likely related to the Wus’ highest directive.

Zhang Yingnian and the others all knew that with the combat strength on Chang Baiwu’s side, they had absolutely no need to fake an apology. That meant that even if Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong weren’t sincerely apologizing in their hearts, they were forced by some kind of helpless necessity to apologize to Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng very quickly thought of the Wu Lingxiang he had been separated from earlier. The Wus’ highest directive that had been sent to Medicine Saint Hall was most likely connected to Wu Lingxiang, more or less.

Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui had felt incredibly stifled just now. Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong hadn’t given them any face at all, and the whole affair had clearly been Medicine Saint Hall’s fault to begin with. Now, seeing that Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong were willing to yield, Zhang Yingnian barked, "What? You think you can just call it even like this? Just now you were the ones insisting on a fight, and now you’re the ones saying there won’t be a fight. Shouldn’t Medicine Saint Hall be offering some compensation?"

"I heard your Medicine Saint Hall obtained a kind of Heaven and Earth Flame some time ago. Take out that Heaven and Earth Flame as compensation first! I don’t think you’d be unwilling, right? It’s just one Heaven and Earth Flame. With how rich and overbearing Medicine Saint Hall is, how could you possibly care about something like that!"
