Medical Sage

After a hearty meal, Chen Fei arranged to continue the KTV session with Apel, Liu Hui, Zhang Long, and others, without further mention.

On the other side, half of the Flying Leopard team was already operating swiftly. Soon, news spread that Chen Kangyuan and his dissolute friends had been arrested and imprisoned…

...

After half a day, Chen Fei returned to Chengyang County in Northern Mountain City.

With an anxious heart, Chen Fei led Apel into his home. If he hadn’t brought Pei Wanning back yet, he wouldn’t be so apprehensive. But now with Pei Wanning already there, bringing Apel back as well seemed obviously two-timing.

Even though he had been influenced by the thoughts and concepts of the Cultivation World, thinking that such things were normal, his mother Lin Ling was after all from Earth and surely didn’t share his ’open’ mindset.

But surprisingly, when Chen Fei brought Apel home, his mother Lin Ling, instead of reacting excessively, only gave him a few glances and warmly welcomed Apel, allowing Chen Fei to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As to why this was so, a little thought would make it clear.

Lin Ling had also fought her way through the elite circles in Capital City back in the day, and had seen plenty of instances like this. Moreover, her son Chen Fei was no ordinary person now. Given such circumstances, how could conventional morals and rules bind him?

That was clearly unrealistic.

Three days later.

Someone Chen Fei didn’t expect arrived on Earth from the Cultivation World.

...

In a teahouse in Chengyang County, Chen Fei looked in surprise at the people before him.

”Senior Yin Lie, why are you here?”

Indeed, it was none other than Yin Lie himself, a figure of Ancestor level from Ghost Wolf City’s War Soul Palace, and a powerhouse at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm.

Having experienced the great battle in Ghost Wolf City together, and now not having seen him for a long time, Chen Fei felt that Yin Lie’s oppressive aura had deepened. Chen Fei felt a chill in his heart, thinking that Yin Lie must have made some breakthrough since the previous battle.

”Haha, it’s because of duty that I came.”

Yin Lie chuckled lightly, then gave a signal to the people behind him.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

In an instant, shadowy figures knelt down in unison on one knee.

What was most astonishing was that even Yin Lie joined them.

Then, a resonant voice boomed throughout the teahouse.

”Greetings, Lord Mansion Master!”

”You, you all...” Chen Fei was slightly stunned, looking at Yin Lie and the others kneeling in a row before him, his expression bewildered, and he stammered, ”Senior Yin Lie, what is this?”

”Mansion Master, not long after you left the Enlightened Deity Mansion, I led the entire War Soul Palace to pledge allegiance. It was Vice-Mansion Master Cang Kun and Elder Iron One who received us and granted this old man a position of protector...” Yin Lie explained.

”The War Soul Palace pledged allegiance to our Enlightened Deity Mansion?” Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, gazing at the kneeling Yin Lie, and couldn’t help but ask, ”Senior Yin Lie, what is the purpose of your actions?”

”To become stronger! To step out of Ghost Wolf City!” Yin Lie said without hesitation. He raised his head, looking at Chen Fei, ”Lord Mansion Master, your demonic talent is something I’ve never seen in my life, truly terrifying. I believe that if given a few decades, you will reach unimaginable heights. Waiting until then to pledge allegiance would be too late, so I chose now!”

”Really?” Hearing this, Chen Fei’s expression suddenly calmed, shaking his head and chuckling, he turned away and said.

”Though I’m not sure why you have such confidence in me, Senior Yin Lie, your faith in me does indeed give me motivation… Regardless, since you hold me, Chen Fei, in high regard, I promise to repay you. If possible, I will grant you a position as a True Monarch!”

A position as a True Monarch!

Hearing this, Yin Lie’s eyes trembled, and he heavily placed his other knee on the ground, thumping down with a loud laugh.

”Then this old man thanks you in advance for your nurturing, Lord Mansion Master.”

”Thank me later. It’s never too late.”

Chen Fei smiled, his demeanor becoming more solemn: ”Since you came from the Enlightened Deity Mansion, have you collected all the items I requested? What about Wann Qing?”

”Everything is gathered.” Yin Lie’s eyes flashed with an unusual flicker as he handed Chen Fei a storage ring.

”I thought… you hadn’t gathered everything… What, you collected everything?”

Chen Fei instinctively thought it was incomplete, but the next moment, he was taken aback.

Gathered?

Is this… for real!?

To be honest, he knew well how rare and hard to come by the items he requested from Pei Wanning and the Enlightened Deity Mansion were, so from the start, he didn’t hold much hope.

He just hoped for more, one item at a time, so he could figure out a solution when the time came...

But who would have thought, now Yin Lie actually told him directly that everything was ready,

which completely interrupted his train of thought for a response.

You should know, the things he needed were meant to be used against those True Monarch Realm experts in the Giant Spirit Secret Realm!

But now it was so simple, just a few words and it was truly all ready?

Chen Fei couldn’t help but quickly opened the storage ring to carefully inspect it, and then his expression became even more peculiar.

”It really is all ready?”

In that storage ring, not only was there a cluster filled with terrifying battle intent, clearly prepared by Ji Xing of the Scarlet Sky Army for him, but also a large pile of extremely rare species!

Snow Night Cluster Clouds, Ancient Toad Heart Blood, Extreme Yin Corpse Blood, Withered Leaf Bamboo, Twin Wolf Heart Bone...

”Did the Enlightened Deity Mansion really collect these things? Or is it your War Soul Palace’s stock?” Chen Fei raised his head, looking at Yin Lie, as he really couldn’t believe these were collected by the current Enlightened Deity Mansion.

”No.” As expected, Yin Lie shook his head: ”These things are neither our War Soul Palace’s stock nor collected by the Enlightened Deity Mansion. They are from Madam Pei Wanning...”

”Wanning?” Chen Fei frowned in confusion, ”The Pei Family?”

”No.” Yin Lie shook his head again.

Not that either?

Chen Fei was stunned, but in the next second, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he exclaimed in astonishment, ”The Flower God Sect?”

”The Lord Mansion Master knows?” Yin Lie looked at Chen Fei in surprise and nodded: ”That’s right. These things were all provided by the Flower God Sect, but...”

”But, but what?” Chen Fei’s face changed, and he interrupted Yin Lie’s words impatiently, saying coldly, ”Did the Flower God Sect force Wanning into something?”

”Ah, I don’t know either.” Yin Lie shook his head again and sighed: ”Here’s what happened. Several days ago, an old woman rode in on a Nine Wild Serpent the size of a small mountain to our Enlightened Deity Mansion...”

”Nine Wild Serpent?” Chen Fei’s expression changed again. He knew this belonged to the category of Desolate Beasts without intelligence, possessing immense strength and being extremely fearsome... The key point is that the strength of Desolate Beasts is also assessed according to their physical size.

A Nine Wild Serpent the size of a small mountain, its strength is probably enough to match a top-tier Minor Heavenly True Monarch, right?

Such a terrifying thing, yet it was ridden by someone?

This...

Chen Fei’s heart sank to the bottom.

”That person claimed to be Longsun, Dragon Grandson of the Nine Wild Serpent Madam from the Flower God Sect of the Inner Region, terrifyingly powerful. With a single move, she almost destroyed our Enlightened Deity Mansion. Fortunately, Madam Pei stood up...” Yin Lie shook his head wistfully.

The terror of this Dragon Grandson of the Nine Wild Serpent Madam was something he had never seen in his life, and to say the least, even the old City Lord of Ghost Wolf City plus the Great Formation Master together might not be her match.

So this time they really escaped from the gates of hell. If not for Madam Pei...

”What happened later?” Chen Fei’s face became increasingly grim, his fist clenched tightly, and he asked coldly.

”Later, Madam Pei was taken away by that Dragon Grandson of the Nine Wild Serpent Madam. But before leaving, Madam Pei secretly met me, gave me the items in the ring, and asked me to tell you one sentence, Lord Mansion Master.” Yin Lie said.

”What sentence?” Chen Fei bit his lip.

”No matter how long it takes, she will wait for you until death...” Yin Lie recounted with a bitter smile.

The determination when Pei Wanning said this that day was so clear that even as an outsider, he could feel it clearly.

Perhaps this is precisely why the Nine Wild Serpent Madam in the shadows spared him, pretending not to see, right?

Can you really say that such a terrifying existence wouldn’t notice their little actions, is that possible?

Chen Fei trembled all over, silent for a long time, but then, in those black eyes as clear as crystal, a trace of fierceness gradually emerged, and his fists trembled...

”Still too weak, huh?” he muttered with self-mockery, clenching his fist.

If only he were strong enough now, even if that Dragon Grandson of the Nine Wild Serpent Madam came personally, how could they dare to take his woman from him?

Seeing Chen Fei muttering this way, Yin Lie had a bitter smile, unsure how to console him.

But in the very next second, both their expressions suddenly changed simultaneously.

Crack!

A wisp of dark purple spiritual energy emerged from Yin Lie, then surged towards the sky, where the space began to distort, and a wrinkled old woman’s face slowly appeared.

Looking at that face, Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed, could it be...

”It’s her! The Nine Wild Serpent Madam!?”

Yin Lie shuddered violently, his face suddenly changing color.
