Medical Sage

”Why would they send this thing?” Chen Fei, holding the invitation in his hand, looked a bit distracted. He was clueless.

After all, just before this, he and the people from the Yan Zhen Sect had just had a confrontation, killing many, like a needle against a wheat awn. But now? The other party inexplicably sent an invitation, inviting him to some auction...

You say there’s no trick here, even a ghost wouldn’t believe it.

”I don’t know why they sent the invitation either, but I did hear some rumors outside.” Cang Kun said.

”What rumors?” Chen Fei was intrigued and asked curiously.

”I heard that the Yan Zhen Sect seems to be intending to challenge the throne of the fifth major power in Ghost Wolf City recently. So they’ve been recruiting soldiers everywhere, trying to build momentum by drawing in various forces... Could they be trying to win us over, considering your powerful influence?” Cang Kun hesitated as he spoke.

”Challenge the throne of the fifth major power in Ghost Wolf City?”

Chen Fei was stunned at these words but soon, a faint cold smile surfaced in his black, glass-like eyes.

Then he shook his head and said, ”In my view, they’re not trying to win us over, but rather,... they want to use us to assert their dominance!”

”Use us to assert their dominance?” Cang Kun was also taken aback, then a sharp glint emerged in his old eyes.

”Master, you mean...” Cang Kun’s face was a bit unpleasant. He was starting to catch up.

Previously, the incident between Chen Fei and Black and White Elder spread throughout Black Wind Gorge, causing Yan Zhen Sect to lose face.

And this time, Yan Zhen Sect set a trap, gathering heroes. If they manage to regain their status, it would indeed be using us to assert dominance.

Besides, they’d get revenge for the previous grudge, killing two birds with one stone...

Given Chen Fei’s displayed strength earlier, fighting to a draw with two experts of the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm; such prowess used to assert dominance is certainly qualified!

Thinking of this, Cang Kun’s face turned a bit indignant. He looked at Chen Fei, hesitating, ”Then we’re not going to the auction?”

”Go! Why not?”

But Chen Fei shook his head, saying, ”Those guys want to lift a rock only to drop it on their own foot. Why shouldn’t we enjoy it? What’s more, they want to use us, but don’t I also want to use them as a whetstone? It’s mutual...”

”Whetstone?” Cang Kun’s eyes slightly widened, then suddenly a ray of excitement shot out. He looked at Chen Fei, surprised, ”Master, are you going to break through?”

He now seemed to understand Chen Fei’s mindset. Whenever Chen Fei was about to break through, he’d stir things up to help him break the bottleneck. This time, likely the same, right?

”Soon, if those guys could lend a hand… Hmm?” Chen Fei laughed while speaking, then his words suddenly halted. He slowly frowned and looked toward a direction in the corridor.

There, a demon monkey, clothed in armored purple fur, was looking at them with interest.

Though the demon monkey deliberately restrained its aura now, Chen Fei noticed its entire being encircled with a faint radiance. That radiance seemed to have powerful strength, hiding something terrifying...

Even he felt a subconscious terror upon realizing it. Suddenly, Chen Fei’s color changed a bit. His gaze towards that figure was filled with apprehension.

He already sensed that this monkey must indeed be a supreme master! Very frightening.

”Hmm? Was I discovered?” That armored purple-furred demon monkey slightly froze, unexpectedly realizing Chen Fei could spot him. A trace of peculiar color flitted across its eyes.

But soon, he shook his head and boldly walked toward Chen Fei’s table. A gentle laughter appeared by Cang Kun’s ear: ”Cang Kun, you’re back, yet you haven’t come to see me?”

Hearing this voice, Cang Kun trembled intensely, then he quickly turned his eyes filled with shock toward the demon monkey, trembling lips, ”Chief, Chief!?”

Turned out, this demon monkey wasn’t anyone else but Batian, who had just left the palace.

After leaving the palace, he directly found this place.

In Black Wind Gorge, when Batian wanted to find someone, the person would indeed be unable to hide.

”Why? Not welcoming me?” Batian directly sat at Chen Fei’s table without ceremony, casually taking the wine on the table and drinking a mouthful.

This attention then rested on Cang Kun, observing carefully, smiling, ”Sure enough, you’ve become a Third-Level Demonic Beast. Cang Kun, you’ve come to your senses, ready to return?”

Being bombarded with words, Cang Kun was a bit stunned. But he understood Batian’s last sentence nonetheless.

At these words, Cang Kun’s complexion slightly shifted, then he bit his lip and said to Batian, ”Chief, it’s not... I’m here with the master this time.”

”Master?” At that, Batian’s expression sharply changed, his eyes darkened, looking at Cang Kun. Then his gaze landed on Chen Fei, a trace of slight ridicule hung on his lips.

”You mean your master is him? Cang Kun, do you have something in his grip? Rest assured, with me here, I’ll make decisions for you!”

With that, a terrifying, powerful oppression burst out from Batian’s body, pressing on Chen Fei. Meanwhile, a cold, murderous voice erupted in the tavern.
