Peerless Medical Emperor

Chen Qingdi informed Sun Zhongqi and then stepped outside.

Chen Qingdi took out the fledgling’s nest. After chanting a few incantations, the nest immediately burst into flames.

This was nothing surprising. His True Energy was righteous and of the purest yang, so it was only natural it could set the nest ablaze.

At the exact moment Chen Qingdi burned the nest.

In the Sun Family’s back kitchen, a fat man suddenly caught fire, his entire body wreathed in flames.

Screaming in agony, the fat man charged outside.

Chen Qingdi suddenly appeared and kicked him to the ground.

”Martial Artists are forbidden from using such a Forbidden Technique on ordinary people. Who sent you? Speak up!”

”Otherwise, if my mood sours in a bit, I’ll just kill you. You won’t have any choice then.”

Chen Qingdi’s oppressive aura bore down on the fat man. Unable to withstand Chen Qingdi’s overwhelming pressure, he immediately dropped to his knees and confessed.

”It was the Patriarch of the Xie Family, Xie Fengyang! He’s the one who sent me to curse the Sun Family. He also planted me here as a cook to monitor the Sun Family at all times.”

”As long as the Sun Family isn’t completely wiped out, my mission isn’t over!”

The fat man answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Sun Zuwang flew into a rage.

”We’re going to the Xie Family right now! I’d like to see just what kind of grudge they hold against our Sun Family.”

Sun Zuwang roared, ordering his subordinates.

However, Chen Qingdi told him not to rush, saying he had a way.

Sun Zuwang was instantly perplexed. He asked Chen Qingdi, ”Medical Saint Chen, and your method is...?”

Chen Qingdi winked, a mischievous scheme written all over his face.

”Of course, we’ll curse them back. If we don’t give them a taste of their own medicine, the Xie Family will probably just keep coming after your Sun Family.”

”This is the only way to make the Xie Family understand that the Sun Family is not to be messed with.”

Chen Qingdi explained to Sun Zuwang.

Seeing the logic in his words, Sun Zuwang quickly nodded in agreement.

”Medical Saint Chen, is there anything we need to prepare?”

Sun Zuwang asked.

”I’m heading back for now. I’ll send someone later to pick up what’s needed and to let you know the plan. Just be ready!”

With that, Chen Qingdi strode away.

After returning to his hotel, Chen Qingdi sent a subordinate to buy some yellow paper, a brush, and cinnabar ink.

He’d learned a bit of Magic from an old master back when he was bored in prison.

Magic was a different art entirely, separate from the Martial Dao. It stemmed from the natural energy of the human body.

This True Energy was then channeled into a talisman or a treasured object.

After Chen Qingdi wrote a few talismans, he had a disciple of the North Sea Medicine King deliver them to the Sun Family.

After passing along the instructions, Chen Qingdi left the hotel.

He hailed a cab and headed to a specific location.

...

「Chuzhou City.」

「Celestial Lake Park.」

As Chen Qingdi walked onto a wooden bridge in the park, his mind flooded with memories of what the Kyoto Chen Family had done to him and his mother all those years ago.

In his memory, the former Patriarch of the Chen Family, Chen Luoping, was a being on the level of a Land Immortal!

One of the five remaining Land Immortals in the Dragon Country’s Martial Arts Realm!

His authority throughout the entire Martial Arts Realm, including Kyoto, was as absolute as a royal decree.

No one in the Chen Family had the right to refuse his decisions, nor could they resist them!

Chen Qingdi still remembered his mother kneeling before Chen Luoping, begging him not to cast her and her son out!

Yet, Chen Luoping had merely looked down at the mother kneeling at his feet, his expression one of utter disdain.

”Bai Jingran, you know as well as I do that my son is about to marry the Commandery Princess.”

”The Jiangning Commandery Princess is the apple of the King of the North’s eye. Her family status and background are a hundred times stronger than a wild country girl like you.”

”My son was able to achieve what he has not because of you, but because he is my son—Chen Luoping’s son! As for you... for defiling the Chen Family’s bloodline, you deserve death!”

”And that bastard child must die as well. The Chen Family doesn’t keep worthless trash, nor do we have any need for useless ornaments!”

Chen Luoping’s words were extremely cold and ruthless.

But Chen Qingdi at the time was weak, able only to endure the humiliation with a pale face, not daring to utter a single word.

”I’m giving you a chance. Kill yourself. Maybe then you can die with a bit of dignity.”

Chen Luoping tossed a knife on the ground, then turned to the young man standing behind him. ”Junlin,” he said, ”you must remember the meaning of the name I gave you. It is for you to one day rule over all under heaven, your might shaking the entire world!”

”You and he are from different worlds now. Chen Qingdi is destined to be nothing more than your stepping stone in this life!”

”You are the true dragon of our Chen Family, destined to soar through the nine heavens! You will keep him trampled beneath your feet for all eternity!”

Chen Luoping’s words were absolute, a final judgment passed on Chen Qingdi’s entire destiny.

CRACK!

With a surge of strength in his grip, Chen Qingdi shattered the handrail on the spot.

”Chen Luoping! Chen Family! I will make you all understand that I, Chen Qingdi, am not the worthless trash you all keep calling me!”

”Sooner or later, every single one of you in the Chen Family will have to thank me, Chen Qingdi!”

”Because I, Chen Qingdi, have shouldered the burden of your enmity!”

Chen Qingdi roared, and behind him, the surface of the lake instantly erupted, sending a colossal pillar of water surging into the sky!

CLAP, CLAP, CLAP.

Just then, a sudden round of sharp applause cut through the air.

”Brother, I had thought that after not seeing each other for all these years, you would have shown some improvement. To think you’re still the same... I’m truly disappointed in you.”

A young man in an expensive, impeccably tailored suit suddenly appeared before Chen Qingdi.

The newcomer was none other than Chen Qingdi’s younger brother, the current heir of the Kyoto Chen Family—Chen Junlin!

The number one genius of the Chen Family!

From the age of ten, he was personally groomed by Chen Luoping, trained not only in business, the Martial Dao, medicine, and the arts.

Chen Luoping even taught him the arts of leadership and political maneuvering.

In his eyes, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, destined to live a life of opulence.

Power was his for the taking!

Wealth was his for the asking!

He looked down on everyone, including his own half-brother, Chen Qingdi.

’But Chen Junlin had never imagined it... Chen Qingdi actually survived? And he’d even built his own power base!’

”Brother, I think Grandfather did the right thing back then. Trash like you is a disgrace to the Chen Family’s reputation.”

”And your mother’s background made the Chen Family a laughingstock among the great families of Kyoto, whether they said it to our faces or behind our backs.”

”Don’t you understand? Everything the Chen Family has is mine now. You don’t even have the right to seek revenge for the family’s sake, because you’re nothing but a dog trailing at my heels. So I’d advise you to stop struggling, brother.”

”Just accept your fate. As long as I’m alive, you’re destined to be beneath me. I was born to be the king of this era!”
