Peerless Medical Emperor

Hearing what Chen Qingdi said, Zhang Feng, Luo Yidao, and the others burst out laughing.

They looked at Gong Liangbu and Chen Qingdi as if they were a pair of fools.

”Gong Liangbu, I take it this kid is the help you brought?”

”But someone like him dares to fight us?”

”Get the hell out of here.”

Zhao Chongjian sneered.

”For old times’ sake, and considering how much you’ve helped me, I won’t lower myself to your level.”

”Leave now, or don’t blame me for what happens next.”

Luo Yidao stared coldly at Gong Liangbu.

”Hmph. I bet you’ve been planning to steal my fortune for a long time. I’m probably not the only person you’ve victimized.”

”Today, I’m going to teach you a lesson,”

Gong Liangbu said furiously.

”You? Teach me a lesson? What a joke.”

Luo Yidao glared at Gong Liangbu.

Before Luo Yidao even needed to make a move, Zhao Chongjian stepped forward.

”I just reached the Innate Realm myself recently. I know you’re in the Innate Realm too.”

”Let me see just how powerful an Innate Realm expert like you really is,”

Zhao Chongjian said, his expression cold.

Zhao Chongjian had stepped forward for no other reason than to show off for Luo Yidao.

He wanted to show his boss just how much he cared.

He wanted to fight on his boss’s behalf.

Luo Yidao was happy to see it, so he didn’t intervene.

At that moment, however, Chen Qingdi glanced at Gong Liangbu.

”Can you handle him?”

Chen Qingdi asked quietly.

”Our realms are about the same. I’ll give it a try,”

Gong Liangbu said.

”Alright. But don’t push yourself if you can’t win,”

Chen Qingdi said.

”Understood, Mr. Chen,”

Gong Liangbu said.

Luo Yidao noticed how respectful Gong Liangbu was toward Chen Qingdi. ’I’ve never seen this kid before,’ he thought. ’Could he actually have some skills? After all, Gong Liangbu is a Martial Physician. Why would he show someone such deference?’

Involuntarily, Luo Yidao began to observe Chen Qingdi more closely.

Chen Qingdi looked like an ordinary person with no aura of Power, nothing like an expert.

But Luo Yidao was a cautious man. He had relied on Gong Liangbu to get to where he was today, and he knew all too well that some powerful figures preferred to keep a low profile.

Zhao Chongjian smiled and walked to the center of the courtyard, a relatively spacious area.

It was dozens of meters long and dozens of meters wide.

The residence Luo Yidao currently occupied was several times larger than the courtyard Gong Liangbu had given to Chen Qingdi.

Gong Liangbu now stood opposite Zhao Chongjian, waves of energy gathering in his palms.

Gong Liangbu suddenly thrust his palms forward, sending a massive wave of energy, like a gale-force wind, rushing toward Zhao Chongjian.

The immense force sent Zhao Chongjian flying backward.

However, he managed to forcefully circulate his Power and block the attack.

Chen Qingdi could see it clearly—in terms of raw strength, Gong Liangbu was still superior to Zhao Chongjian.

After being thrown back, Zhao Chongjian stabilized himself and stared intently at Gong Liangbu.

”Interesting.”

”But based on your strength, you haven’t improved much.”

”Now look at me. A few months ago, I was still in the Acquired Realm. In just a few short months, I’ve already reached the Innate Realm. Your talent is no match for mine,”

Zhao Chongjian said, staring coldly at Gong Liangbu.

”Enough with the nonsense.”

”Let’s go again.”

With that, Gong Liangbu charged toward Zhao Chongjian again.

Zhao Chongjian’s expression turned grim.

He thrust his palms forward in a rapid, fierce barrage, creating a small barrier from countless overlapping waves of energy.

But Gong Liangbu shattered it almost instantly.

Once again, Gong Liangbu sent Zhao Chongjian flying.

Shock filled Zhao Chongjian’s eyes. Just as he was about to press the attack, Luo Yidao called out to him.

”Chongjian, come back,”

Luo Yidao said.

”I can still fight.”

”I’ll definitely beat Gong Liangbu,”

Zhao Chongjian said.

”Come back and rest. There’s no hurry,”

Luo Yidao said.

Though reluctant, Zhao Chongjian returned to Luo Yidao’s side.

”Gong Liangbu, you are in the Post-Innate Realm, after all.”

”Zhao Chongjian is only in the Innate Middle Realm, so of course you’re a bit stronger.”

”But do you really think it’s in your best interest to keep challenging us?”

”Why don’t you just walk away? I don’t want any more trouble with you,”

Luo Yidao said.

He was a cautious man, and he knew what kind of person Gong Liangbu was.

For him to show up here, he must have come prepared.

That’s why Luo Yidao didn’t want to escalate things.

Besides, he had a feeling Chen Qingdi was an unknown variable.

He didn’t want to invite trouble.

”Heh, I’m here specifically to cause trouble for you.”

”What are you going to do about it?”

”Everything you have now was supposed to be mine.”

”Nie Xing, you’re following the wrong man,”

Gong Liangbu said, looking at Nie Xing.

”Nie Xing, you set up a Feng Shui formation to ruin me, redirecting my good fortune to Luo Yidao. But he’s an unscrupulous man.”

”You’ve been with him for so long, but what has he ever given you? You were in the Post-Innate Realm when I first met you, and you’re still in the Post-Innate Realm now.”

”You haven’t even reached the Guiyuan Realm.”

”And I know for a fact that he got two Ancestral Spirit Pills from the Celestial River Valley. He didn’t give you either of them, did he?”

Gong Liangbu said with a smile, looking at Nie Xing.

Nie Xing said nothing, his expression unchanging.

But Chen Qingdi could see the turmoil stirring within him.

’If I can get Nie Xing on Gong Liangbu’s side,’ Chen Qingdi thought, ’with a Feng Shui Master of his caliber and decent strength, Gong Liangbu’s future development should be smooth. Once his faction is stronger, I could leave any matters in Jingxi for them to handle directly.’

”Stop spouting nonsense. Don’t try to drive a wedge between me and Luo,”

Nie Xing said.

”That’s right, Nie Xing. Don’t listen to his rubbish.”

”Nie Xing, you’re up. Teach this guy a lesson for me,”

Luo Yidao said grimly.

”Fine.”

”I’ve been wanting to test my skills against Gong.”

Nie Xing deliberately referred to him as ”Gong.”

The reason Luo Yidao had Nie Xing fight—instead of Zhang Feng, who had a better chance of winning—was to see if Nie Xing would actually dare to make a move against Gong Liangbu.

It had to be said, Luo Yidao was an incredibly calculating man.

Chen Qingdi calmly watched this play out.

When Luo Yidao made that move, Chen Qingdi knew with certainty that Nie Xing had already started to doubt him.

Chen Qingdi walked over to Gong Liangbu and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gong Liangbu looked slightly startled after hearing them, but he ultimately nodded.
