Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2265: Chapter 2269: Tang Lin’s Peculiarity

The dense forest was quiet.

Everyone was shocked by Jiang Chen’s terrifying suspicion.

For a moment, they were at a loss for words.

Jiang Chen sighed inwardly after glancing at everyone. It’s truly difficult to accept a Domain Lord committing such acts. However, from the expressions on their faces, Jiang Chen could tell that they had come to believe his words.

Taking out an elixir, Jiang Chen swallowed it and closed his eyes to recover.

There was no need to further discuss the matter involving Zhang Yubo. Although everyone believed what Jiang Chen said, there was no concrete evidence to prove that those deeds were orchestrated by Zhang Yubo.

The fall of two sects might stir waves in Shenmu Prefecture, but hoping to relay it back to Canglan City is purely wishful thinking.

Therefore, they could only remain vigilant about this in their hearts. To deal with Zhang Yubo requires a gradual approach, considering his unique status as a Domain Lord personally appointed by Canglan Great Emperor!

Everyone, consumed by their own thoughts, began to recover themselves. After the recent battle, each of them had experienced some depletion.

Buzz!

After adjusting their breath for a while, a sudden surge of powerful energy came from nearby.

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, then he became delighted as he turned to look at Sun Peng.

At this moment, a formidable aura erupted from Sun Peng’s entire body, escalating rapidly, soon breaking through the peak of the Virtual Refinement Realm, reaching the early stage of the Unity Realm.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As he reached the pinnacle of the early Unity Realm and seemed to be about to step into the mid Unity Realm, Sun Peng’s aura suddenly stopped and slowly converged.

Soon after, Sun Peng slowly opened his eyes.

”Predecessor Sun Peng, how are you feeling?”

Jiang Chen gently inquired.

”No worries about the injuries, Mr Jiang, don’t worry.”

Sun Peng replied with a chuckle.

”No worries! The primordial spirit wound hasn’t healed, your power remains stagnant at the early Unity Realm, unable to progress further. Is this what you call ’no worries’?”

Sang Zhenye spoke in a low tone, turning to glare at the three from Tong Hai.

The complexion of the Tong Hai trio changed, laughing awkwardly.

The ignition of the primordial spirit only left behind some wounds, with power merely regressing by a small degree, which was a blessing in disguise!

Sun Peng laughed freely, ”If I can return to the academy, even if my power remains only at the early Unity Realm, even if my power is entirely gone, it’s no matter!”

”Primordial spirit wound...”

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, raising his head to look at Sang Zhenye.

Sang Zhenye pondered slightly, then spoke softly, ”Consider yourself lucky. We are preparing to use this opportunity of the Changling Main Court selection to go to the Main Court to refine a God Concealing Pill for Immortal Xia. If there are extras, we can give you one!”

Sun Peng was stunned upon hearing this, his eyes showing a glimmer of hope.

Although he spoke indifferently, his heart genuinely felt this way, given that curing a primordial spirit wound is exceedingly difficult.

Nevertheless, hearing Sang Zhenye’s offer to refine a God Concealing Pill aroused his anticipation, for who wouldn’t want to continue advancing in cultivation?

Poof!

At this moment, a streak of rainbow light swept across the sky, rapidly racing towards the direction of the earlier battle.

Sang Zhenye, along with the three from Tong Hai, opened their eyes to glance at the sky.

”It’s Peng Zhengwei from the Punishment Hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect!”

Tong Hai spoke in a low voice.

”Mr Jiang! Elder Sang!”

A voice echoed, likely Peng Zhengwei arriving at the battlefield and, not finding Jiang Chen and Sang Zhenye there, shouting aloud in search.

”Teacher, call him over!”

Jiang Chen opened his eyes and looked at Sang Zhenye. ”He is Qiu Ying’s mentor, probably coming to the rescue after Qiu Ying reported back.”

Sang Zhenye nodded gently, sending a wave of divine sense from within.

Whoosh!

In the distance, a figure swiftly flew over, landing next to Jiang Chen and the others.

”Tong Family Elders?!”

Peng Zhengwei’s expression changed upon seeing the three from Tong Hai present, his eyes displaying a wary look.

”Elder Peng.”

Jiang Chen rose, clasping his fists towards Peng Zhengwei with a light smile. ”Thank you, Elder Peng, for rushing here. Hei Mo has been vanquished, and our misunderstandings with the Tong Family elders have also been resolved!”

”Misunderstanding?”

Peng Zhengwei glanced at the three from Tong Hai, then at Jiang Chen, his eyes showing a hint of suspicion.

”Elder Peng seems to have something to say.”

Noticing Peng Zhengwei’s oddity, Jiang Chen hinted with his words.

Peng Zhengwei warily looked at the three from Tong Family, hesitated for a moment, then whispered, ”Mr Jiang, do not go to the Heavenly Sword Sect!”

Jiang Chen’s expression shifted, eyes narrowing slightly as he probed, ”Wasn’t it San Feng Predecessor who invited me this time, but Tang Lin instead?”

”Indeed!”

Seeing Jiang Chen inquire so, Peng Zhengwei realized Jiang Chen had guessed something, nodding heavily and spoke solemnly: ”Old me is unsure whether the Sect Leader knows of this matter, but I do not wish to see the Heavenly Sword Sect become hostile toward Changlin Academy!”

”Elder Peng, please speak openly!”

Sang Zhenye’s face darkened, speaking indifferently.

Peng Zhengwei slightly furrowed his brows, gazing at Tong Family’s three, showing hesitation.

”Elder Peng, rest assured. Although the three elders from Tong Family are consecrated at the Domain Lord’s Mansion, they do not align with Zhang Yubo!”

Jiang Chen’s heart stirred, speaking softly.

Upon hearing, the three elders of Tong Family’s expressions subtly changed, slightly shifting their positions, faintly surrounding Peng Zhengwei in a fan shape.

If Peng Zhengwei’s words were not related to Zhang Yubo, it would be impossible to let him leave here alive!

Peng Zhengwei was momentarily frozen, glancing at Tong Family’s three once again.

”This invitation likely was Tang Lin’s unilateral decision, unbeknownst to Elder Zhang, and Tang Lin’s actions over the past half year have been very peculiar. Without any intent, he would not aid Elder Zhang and the other so vigorously in boosting their power. Besides, the Sect Leader...”

Peng Zhengwei pondered for a while, then spoke softly, ”The Sect Leader is also somewhat strange, ignoring Tang Lin’s deeds entirely. Even when Tang Lin privately handed the sect’s Spirit Fruit to Elder Zhang and the other, the Sect Leader remained silent.”

Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed slightly, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

Could it be... even the Heavenly Sword Sect has fallen under Zhang Yubo’s influence?

Sang Zhenye and others showed a somber expression, looking at Peng Zhengwei with a gaze full of intrigue.

”Although discussing the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader’s matters behind their back is not something old me, who is a Punishment Hall elder, should do, old me was saved by the former Sect Leader years ago and cannot bear to see the Heavenly Sword Sect’s ruin before my eyes!”

Peng Zhengwei’s eyes showed hesitation. ”The Sect Leader’s abnormality, Tang Lin’s abnormality, is unsettling; however, old me cannot fathom the reason behind it. And with Ying’er’s invitation of Mr Jiang, I am certain that Tang Lin wants to take advantage of this opportunity to kill you!”

Peng Zhengwei turned to Jiang Chen, resolute, ”Therefore, I hope Mr Jiang won’t go to the Heavenly Sword Sect!”
