Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2644: Chapter 2647: Try Touching Him

Elixir Divine City, City Lord’s Mansion.

It has been half a month since the grand competition of alchemy, and a group of alchemists from Elixir Divine City have been arriving every day, but now they are out of patience.

However, they dare not be too presumptuous, for this is Elixir Divine City, directly governed by Canglan City, and a Saint Monarch resides here; even the Saint Monarch families of Elixir Divine City dare not run amok here.

At this moment, in the reception hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, four figures sat on both sides, all looking at Yuan Kui, who was seated at the principal seat.

The four are four of the Five Great Families of Elixir Divine City, and they are the strongest who have arrived.

The Great Elder of the Long Family, Long Linyun, is not the branch Great Elder, but the main family Great Elder, who ran across the continent upon hearing of the matters here.

Huo Family’s Huo Weixi, Cheng Family’s Old Master Cheng Bingkang, and Zhu Family’s Old Master Zhu Tian Chang.

The Yan and Feng families have moved their whole clans to the extraterritorial battlefield and have been taken to Cross-Border City by the Canglan Army. The Five Great Families are reorganizing, and the Cheng and Zhu families are rising up with the opportunity.

Only the Lei Family has not sent anyone, not because they can’t, but because there’s no need; with the presence of these four families, the Lei Family’s purpose is already achieved!

One Saint Monarch and three Saint Pinnacles make a formidable force, enough to destroy a first-rate power on the continent. However, the four all looked anxious, but none dared act rashly; all they could do was gaze at Yuan Kui.

Yuan Kui, on the other hand, was unhurriedly sipping tea as though he hadn’t noticed the people.

”City Lord Yuan Kui, hasn’t Grandmaster Jiang emerged yet?”

Unable to contain himself, Long Linyun inquired.

”What now? The Long Family still wants Mr Jiang’s dragon Qi?”

Yuan Kui lifted his head to glance at Long Linyun and said, indifferently, ”Mr Jiang has already entered the Dan Pavilion, try to touch him?”

”City Lord Yuan Kui, that is not what this old man meant. I merely wish to see if he is willing to exchange something; my Long Family will certainly offer compensation that will satisfy him!”

Long Linyun softly retorted.

Compensation that satisfies? That is Lord Ancestral Dragon’s dragon Qi; can your Long Family present something comparable?

A tinge of disdain flickered in Yuan Kui’s eyes as he said indifferently, ”Mr Jiang has stated he will not separate the dragon Qi under any condition. Otherwise, do you think the Crown Prince wouldn’t want it?”

Long Linyun was slightly stunned, a complex expression flashed in his eyes, his mind turning as if pondering something.

”City Lord, this old man is not here to exchange items; I only wish to apologize to Mr Jiang face-to-face!”

Huo Weixi spoke softly, eyes filled with a trace of bitterness.

Initially, he opposed the decision of Huo Laiwang and others, but when they insisted, he turned a blind eye. Who knew the situation would escalate to this extent, causing him deep regret.

”On the day of the competition, Mr Jiang made his point very clear; there’s no need for you to entangle further. What’s done by your family cannot be compensated; too foolish were your actions!”

Yuan Kui showed no kindness to Huo Weixi, as the actions of the Huo family brought too much criticism, leaving no place for goodwill.

Huo Weixi smiled bitterly and gave a heavy sigh.

”And you two, why have you come? Do you desire the alchemy inheritance of Mr Jiang?”

Yuan Kui glanced at Cheng Bingkang and Zhu Tian Chang.

”Of course not!”

Cheng Bingkang hurriedly denied, for the Crown Prince personally declared that anyone daring to covet the alchemy inheritance of the Dan Pavilion’s Pill Master would face extermination of their entire clan; he dared not act recklessly.

”I invited Grandmaster Jiang to refine some elixirs at home, even if we can’t observe it directly!”

Cheng Bingkang stated his intention.

”I have no real demands myself, only carrying a message for the three families from Brother Lei.”

Zhu Tian Chang spoke with a soft laugh.

Yuan Kui smiled slightly, looked at Huo Weixi and the others with a significant glance, and laughed softly without speaking.

”What message?”

Long Linyun looked at Zhu Tian Chang with curiosity.

Zhu Tian Chang smiled, ”Brother Lei said that Miss Ling’er holds a noble status, and they dare not let her suffer any harm. So, he and her father accompany Grandmaster Jiang to Zhen Yuan City. I’m to relay to you that if your family has someone following them in secret, it’d be best not to act, or they might not return!”

”Grandmaster Jiang has left?”

Huo Weixi stared at Zhu Tian Chang in surprise.

Long Linyun and Cheng Bingkang’s faces changed, their brows furrowed slightly.

”Indeed, he has left.”

Yuan Kui smiled lightly, ”And with nothing else to do, the little princess went along with him. Elder Feng and Elder Shui followed, so if anyone plans to assassinate Mr Jiang on the road, it could be quite amusing!”

Long Linyun and Cheng Bingkang’s faces changed drastically, their hearts seized with fear, yet they breathed a sigh of relief afterward.

With the little princess together with Jiang Chen, those people would be too foolish to act.

”Oh, yes, Mr Jiang mentioned that he found following him irritating and ordered the little princess not to accompany him. Yet her stubborn nature surged, and she declared they would proceed independently. However, she followed behind and planned to witness the excitement at Zhen Yuan City, proclaiming that if Mr Jiang does not secure a top ten spot in the formation grand competition, she’d take him directly to Cross-Border City.”

Yuan Kui teased, looking at Long Linyun and Cheng Bingkang.

Long Linyun and Cheng Bingkang’s hearts skipped a beat; with the little princess not traveling directly with Jiang Chen, yet Elder Shui and Elder Feng are present, concealing their aura is not an issue. Should those people act, and Elder Shui and Elder Feng assert themselves...

Long Linyun and Cheng Bingkang trembled internally, with Cheng Bingkang’s face showing some discomfort when he asked, ”City Lord, this little princess...”

”She’s being childish, acting on whims.”

Yuan Kui smiled faintly, his tone turning cold, ”Would a Grandmaster of alchemy, one who brings glory to the Canglan Continent, be so easily slain? Over time, it’s true that a seventh-grade alchemist might not warrant such close protection. However, the combat prowess of Mr Jiang should be evident to you all.

Being capable of slaying a Semi-Saint within the same realm under Suppression Realm, such prowess on the extraterritorial battlefield is an intimidation and represents the strongest combat capacity of my Void Nether Realm in the Virtual Refinement external battlefield area. Aspire to kill him, is that to ally with the enemy?”

Long Linyun and Cheng Bingkang shuddered violently, their expressions darkening; they recognized that the family members secretly following might never return!

A hundred miles east of Zhen Yuan City.

This is a dense forest area, featuring a small river. Beside the river, several young men and women have set up a bonfire to grill fish.

”Brother Jiang Chen, will there really be someone coming to kill you?”

Lei Ling’er glanced around in uncertainty, speaking doubtfully. Throughout their journey, aside from concealing their movements upon leaving Elixir Divine City, they did not hide themselves, and now nearly at Zhen Yuan City, no action had been taken.

”Maybe they are scared!”

Jin Ming spoke softly.

”I genuinely wish for their appearance!”

Jiang Chen’s eyes glowed with a chilling gleam: ”Meng Changde had betrayed Changling Academy, employing hired killers through elixirs. Should he target me, it is highly likely he might take action against my senior brother and mentor. I have these two seniors with me, yet my mentor and senior brother wouldn’t necessarily have escorts once leaving the academy.

The final grand competition is approaching, and senior brother might venture out for experience to enhance his strength. Should they waylay him, that would be...”
