Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1084: Chapter 1087: Undercurrents

Ring, ring, ring!

Right after Yan Hu’s call ended, Supreme Hu Sha’s phone started ringing.

Supreme Hu Sha took out his phone, his mouth twitched, and he answered the call with a look of embarrassment, ”Hello, Long Huang.”

”Hu Sha! What’s going on? You’re in Dingjing, how could you let Mr. Jiang be in mortal danger? Huh?”

”Don’t tell me you couldn’t sense a battle above the Venerable Realm unfolding in Dingjing! With Mr. Jiang’s strength, unless a Venerable Realm expert attacked him, it wouldn’t be possible to endanger him!”

”Have you been slacking off again? Haven’t you been spreading your Qi throughout Dingjing?!” As soon as the call connected, Supreme Long Huang’s roaring voice came through the receiver.

Supreme Hu Sha replied with a wry smile, ”I... it’s not that... Young Jiang was attacked in the outskirts, I didn’t extend my Qi that far!”

”Outskirts? What exactly happened?”

”About that...” Hu Sha glanced at Lin Meng, sighed, and briefly explained the situation.

”What? So you’re saying they sent two Venerable Realm experts specifically against Mr. Jiang? It seems Mr. Jiang’s acquisition of the pharmaceutical company has aroused their suspicions, and now that they know you’re here, and Mr. Jiang is presently unconscious, if... I’ll send Ming Que to find you, don’t mess up again!”

”I understand,” Supreme Hu Sha said, head hanging low and speaking in a muffled tone.

He really had no choice but to take this lesson to heart!

...

In a villa estate located on the eastern outskirts of Dingjing.

An elderly man and a middle-aged man sat opposite each other. The elder was dressed in black training attire, while the middle-aged man wore sharp formal clothes. A woman stood by their side, respectfully serving tea and pouring water.

”Elder Chen’s operation has failed. Our people have reported that the abandoned factory in the West Suburb has been turned into a huge pit, and someone has seen Jiang Chen and his group returning to Dingyun Lake Villa!” said the elder in the training suit in a grave tone.

”This... Elder Wu, what should we do next?” The middle-aged man’s brows furrowed slightly, seeking advice from the elder.

Elder Wu smiled faintly, reached out to pull up the woman’s arm beside him, gently guided her, and the woman smoothly sat on Elder Wu’s lap.

”What comes next is your turn!” Elder Wu slid his hand inside the woman’s clothes and chuckled sinisterly as he fondled her:

”Remember, you must find out who they all are, and ideally pry out the motives behind their purchase of the pharmaceutical company. If you can wrest some control of the pharmaceutical company from Jiang Chen, that would be even better. Otherwise, if we don’t get a hold of it, it will be very disadvantageous for our next step!”

”Yes!” The middle-aged man nodded respectfully and inquired again, ”So should we go now, or...”

”Don’t go now. Right after this incident, asking such questions would easily arouse their suspicion. Wait another couple of days! Oh yes, have you memorized that old fellow I mentioned? He is key. If he is there, we can only ask the Supreme to make a move,” Elder Wu cautioned in a serious tone.

”Elder Wu, rest assured, I’ve memorized it. If he is there, I will certainly recognize him on sight!” The middle-aged man nodded firmly.

”Good!” Elder Wu answered, then lifted the woman around the waist and said with a lecherous smile, ”Little beauty, let’s go and rest.”

”Tehehe! Elder Wu, you’re so bad!” The woman giggled, tapping Elder Wu’s chest lightly, her face in full bloom like peach blossoms.

”Ha ha...” Elder Wu laughed loudly as he headed upstairs.

The middle-aged man watched Elder Wu’s back, a flash of hatred in his eyes. Once Elder Wu had ascended the stairs with the woman, the middle-aged man muttered to himself:

”Jiang Chen, it’s all because of you! If it weren’t for you telling me, I only have ten years to live, I would have never injected that damn stuff. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t be controlled by them, and even my daughter wouldn’t have been dragged into this!”

Suddenly, the middle-aged man laughed again: ”But really, thanks to you! If I hadn’t injected that Gene Potion, how could I have this incredible strength? This feeling of power is truly mesmerizing! I used to think money was everything, but now I realize, having superhuman strength is the ultimate truth!”

”Ah! Elder Wu...”

A corrupt voice suddenly erupted from upstairs. The middle-aged man glanced at the stairway entrance, rose to his feet, and walked toward the villa’s front door, muttering softly as he went, ”This old guy is still so fierce at such an age, then I...”

The middle-aged man looked down at himself and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth, ”Power, it really is a wonderful thing!”

...

In the master bedroom of Dingyun Lake Villa,

Medicine Saint glanced at the Blood Saber beside the bed, then turned to look at Jiang Chen lying on it, his eyes brimming with worry, ”Kid, I really don’t know if you’re lucky or unlucky! After observing for some time, I can now be sure that this saber... Never mind, I believe you can hold on and not turn into a bloodthirsty killer!”

Ah!

He sighed softly, picked up a porcelain bottle from a tray beside him, and poured out an elixir emitting a refreshing fragrance.

Dozens of bottles of elixirs were laid out on the tray. All of them were prepared by Medicine Saint to restore Inner Qi or to enhance strength. He was worried that a single Polyporus Barrier Breaking Elixir would not be enough to trigger Jiang Chen’s Inner Qi to circulate on its own. This time, he brought over all his available healing and strength-enhancing elixirs.

Next, Medicine Saint repeated the same action over and over, pouring elixirs out of the bottles and stuffing them into Jiang Chen’s mouth, which took more than ten minutes to finish!

”Young Jiang, it’s all up to you now. I heard you will be visiting Medicine Valley in a little while. I thought I would never have the chance to return in my lifetime, but since I’ve known you, kid, I consider it my good fortune, and Ling’er’s as well.”

While stuffing, Medicine Saint murmured to himself,

”Having spent so long with you, my intention was to make an investment, but what I’ve gained is more than I’ve given. I will need to rely on you again. It seems, old man that I will never be able to repay the debt I owe you in this lifetime!”

Medicine Saint smiled faintly, his eyes filled with expectation as he looked at Jiang Chen, ”Even though I can never fully repay you, you at least have to let me repay some, right? This old man doesn’t want to carry so much debt of gratitude, so, you absolutely must wake up!”

After gazing deeply at Jiang Chen, Medicine Saint turned and walked out of the bedroom.

”Elder Yao, how is it?!”

”Elder Medicine, how is the Young Master?”

”Medicine Saint, how is Young Jiang?”

”Grandpa, how is big brother?”

”Grandfather Medicine Saint, is big brother better now?”

In the villa’s living room, Supreme Hu Sha, Yan Hu, Mo Tianze, Fu Ling’er, and Lou Qiangqiang all crowded around Medicine Saint as he descended the stairs, each opening with urgent concern,

”What’s going to happen next...” Medicine Saint began softly.

Squeak, squeak!

”Who’s there?!”

”Xuan Long?!”

”An Long?!”

Ding dong! Ding dong!

Suddenly, a cacophony sounded from the courtyard, followed by the ringing of the doorbell.

Hearing the noise outside, Yan Hu knew who had arrived and immediately bellowed towards the entrance:

”Scram!”
