The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 841: Chapter 836: Fearful Avoidance (Part 2) (1st Update!)

Upon hearing the youth’s words, Yan Nanfei and Mu Danfeng both had solemn expressions, showing a sense of seriousness.

After sending off Peng Quhui, the two of them turned around and sat back down.

Although they were elders and distant relatives of the youth, they couldn’t help but show a slight respect for him.

Because this youth was named Xiao Changkong!

He was an unparalleled genius in Liiu Yuan City and even in the Yelang Cultivation Domain for a century!

Once, in the Yelang Cultivation Domain and the mortal world of Guixi Province, there was a saying — “Who is the peak of the Yelang Star River? For a hundred years, Changkong’s path becomes empty!”

This was to exclaim at Xiao Changkong’s demon-like talent and charisma!

Back then, Xiao Changkong’s appearance as a disciple made the Wind Mountain sect, his master sect, gain immense fame, almost overshadowing the Yelang Valley.

It wasn’t until later that Xiao Changkong was valued by a master from Sword Saint Mountain, a third-level cultivation domain in the East Continent, who took him in as a disciple!

After Xiao Changkong left, his fame gradually faded over the years.

In the mortal world, most ordinary people knew him for his outstanding talent, having excelled in almost every aspect from a young age, setting an example and goal for many parents who aspired for their children to succeed.

As for Xiao Changkong’s family, they have always remained low-key in Liiu Yuan City.

Xiao Changkong came from the Zhuge family!

He did not take the Zhuge surname but instead took his mother’s surname!

Now, he has returned!

His radiance far exceeds the past, incomparable to what he was before!

In the near term, Xiao Changkong’s extraordinary talent might not even be his greatest achievement yet!

Looking further, Xiao Changkong is already a genius figure of such existence as Sword Saint Mountain!

No matter how senior Yan Nanfei and Mu Danfeng may be, they dare not be too informal!

They may not know what kind of existence Sword Saint Mountain is, but they understand that it is absolutely a hundred times stronger than the Yan Family’s Wind Mountain!

“Don’t worry, Changkong. Your aunt and I aren’t old enough to be senile! Your uncle-in-law has long decided how the Yan Family should choose — just follow the sects! Back in the day, Yanxin’s great-grandfather entered Wind Mountain, which led to the Yan Family’s current glory. Naturally, we won’t blindly walk the path to ruin!”

Mu Danfeng sat down again, flashing a charming smile at Xiao Changkong and said, “As for that so-called Young Divine Doctor and Young Master, I admit I misjudged them. Compared to many people, they are certainly excellent! But compared to you, Changkong, it’s simply a comparison between a firefly and the bright moon, absolutely no match! Plus, now that he’s offended the Murong Family and the Mengg Family, they’re using the power of the Miao Region Holy Sect to eliminate obstacles, including revenge for killing their son!”

“This person will eventually be found out! Although he seems promising, he turned out to be a murderous demon. Yanxin misjudged him… but you told us all this, and many families have started taking sides. Naturally, we won’t act rashly. Peng Quhui came to plead on his behalf; he’s utterly clueless! Now, which family would dare to step forward and speak for that kid? They all can’t wait to keep their distance!”

Upon hearing Mu Danfeng’s words, Xiao Changkong nodded with satisfaction.

“The might of the Holy Sect is unstoppable! And with the decree of Sword Saint Mountain in my hands, whoever opposes it is seeking death!”

Xiao Changkong raised his head, showing a hint of arrogance on his face, and snorted coldly, “Hmph, not to mention a mere Young Master, any obstruction to the integration of the Southwest Cultivation Realm from the Yelang Domain will be blown to smithereens! Therefore, it’s necessary to have Yanxin sever ties with that person first!”

“Haha, worry not, dear nephew Changkong. That kid will have no chance to get close to Yanxin again!”

Yan Nanfei, on the side, laughed and said, “I know you fancy Yanxin, and we’ll try to persuade her! If she follows you in the future, her achievements will certainly not be low, and we’ll be very assured.”

“Sigh… It’s just that that girl has gone out playing again, claiming to go racing at Shili Ridge… She’s really too wild!”

Mu Danfeng shook her head helplessly and sighed.

“I know about this. There are a few junior brothers and sisters from Wind Mountain with her. There won’t be any trouble!”

Xiao Changkong smiled slightly and said, “The Black and White Envoys from the Holy Sect are already in Liiu Yuan City, and I need to go to the entrance of the Yelang Mountain Range to meet them, then proceed together to Broken Bridge Ridge where the Holy Master of the Holy Sect is cultivating to break through! By then, the powerhouses from Flying Cloud Inn and Wind Mountain will all gather there! I suppose Wind Mountain will send someone to invite you to the gathering at Broken Bridge Ridge soon…”

Upon hearing this, Yan Nanfei and Mu Danfeng couldn’t help but be overjoyed. To be able to meet such immortal-like figures was an unparalleled honor!

…

Leaving the Yan Family, Peng Quhui was quite frustrated.

He didn’t expect that as soon as he spoke, Yan Nanfei would refuse him outright.

In the end, they even drove him out.

“The world of business is indeed the world of business, how can there be any room for emotion? Chairman Changsun said that Doctor Lin has done the Ning Family a favor, better go have a look over there!”

Peng Quhui sighed, drove to the Ning Family Villa.

In Liiu Yuan City, Peng Quhui’s status wasn’t top-tier, but he was considered a business tycoon, a figure with reputation and influence. Thus, when he stated his identity, the security guards at the Ning Family immediately let him through.

At this moment.

In the reception room of the Ning Family Villa.

Ning Shicang and several family core members, including Ning Beihan, gathered on the living room couch, each with a grave expression.

“The Murong Family and Mengg Family, along with others, are using the power of the Holy Gu Sect to sweep through Liiu Yuan City and forces opposing them! We don’t know what Yelang Valley’s stance is right now, so for now, we can only remain silent and observant, and not get involved!”

Scanning the group, Ning Shicang frowned, sighing, “Families like ours are in a somewhat awkward position. If we were just purely a mundane family, unfamiliar with the Immortal Sect or Martial Arts Xuanmen, such chaos in secret would not involve us. However, given the situation, it’s hard for us to remain uninvolved eventually! So, I suggest Beihan takes the younger family generation and leaves Liiu Yuan, heading to East Continent…”

Upon hearing this, many people fell silent.

It was a long time before several of the older uncles in the family nodded in agreement.

“I still don’t understand what’s gotten into the Murong, Mengg, and Xin Families to even defeat the Zheng and Huangfu Families…”

Ning Beihan, listening to her father’s suggestion, neither agreed nor disagreed, but furrowed her delicate eyebrows, puzzled.

“I heard that the juniors of the three families, namely Murong Bei, Xin Hengxing, and Mengg Zhao, are all dead, and it seems that whoever did it is connected to those families!”

Ning Shicang also furrowed his brows lightly and shook his head, saying, “As to who the person is, it’s unknown!”

Obviously, he didn’t know that Lin Tian was the one who killed those three!

“Mr. Ning, a gentleman named Peng Quhui is here to visit!”

At this moment, a servant from the Ning Family walked in respectfully.

“Peng Quhui? What’s he here for during such tumultuous times?”

Ning Shicang’s face showed confusion, but he finally said, “Let him in!”

Soon, Peng Quhui walked in.

“Mr. Ning, I’m sorry for the abrupt visit, but I have an urgent request!”

Upon entering, Peng Quhui didn’t bother with pleasantries and directly explained the situation.

“Doctor Lin, which Doctor Lin?”

Ning Beihan suddenly felt something amiss and quickly asked.

“It’s Doctor Lin from Changsheng Medical Hall, who supposedly has a debt of gratitude to your family for saving Miss Ning; we’re not sure if that’s true!”

Peng Quhui quickly replied, “Many of his friends have been captured by the Murong and Mengg Families; could you possibly help plead the case?”

“What! It’s him! The three juniors of the Murong, Mengg, and Xin Families were killed by him!”

Ning Shicang had yet to speak when Ning Beihan exclaimed in surprise, disregarding why Lin Tian was at odds with the three families and urgently said, “Dad, we must exert pressure on the Three Major Families! The Holy Gu Sect harbors ill intentions; if they truly swallow the Yelang Domain, families like ours won’t fare well either! He has a lifesaving grace towards me; we must assist him!”

“This…”

Ning Shicang hesitated, primarily because he still didn’t understand Yelang Valley’s stance.

“No way!”

Before Ning Shicang could speak, an angry shout came from outside, and immediately Yu Jinhe burst in with a group of more than ten people, each with a formidable presence, and Yu Yushi among them.

Leading them was an elderly man, whose every step seemed tiger-like and full of an implicit suppression.

In the front, Yu Jinhe seemed to be showing him the way, his demeanor respectful.

“You… get out!”

Yu Jinhe walked in, scanning the room, finally shouting at Peng Quhui.

Peng Quhui shuddered and involuntarily stepped back several paces.

“Mr. Peng, you should leave first!”

Ning Shicang sighed, gave Peng Quhui a meaningful look, and shook his head silently.

Nearby, Ning Beihan looked anxious, but seeing Yu Jinhe and the elder appear with others, she dared not speak.

Ah…

Peng Quhui, seeing this, realized nothing could be done, sighed, and turned to leave the Ning Family.

Afterwards, he went to families and forces with whom he had cooperated to see if anyone could stand up and speak to the Murong Family and others.

Unfortunately, once people knew his intent, they avoided him like the plague, directly driving him out.

“Alas, it truly is every man for himself at the hour of peril!”

Peng Quhui was very disheartened, having run around to no avail, he helplessly returned to Liiu Rong District.
