Medical Sage

The day of the epic battle had arrived, with the night gradually falling, at a gray-walled, gray-tiled courtyard by Emerald Lake.

Several rattan chairs and a wooden tea table were there, with a few elders sitting around it. The coarse tea in front of them was already slightly cool.

One of the elders appeared extremely aged, yet an extraordinary aura unintentionally emanated from him. This elder was none other than Xuu Dongtian, Old Master Xuu, who had traveled all the way from the Capital City!

At this moment, he gazed at the surrounding of Emerald Lake, still in disarray from yesterday’s battle, unable to restrain his complex emotions, deeply sighing, ”Human capability can reach such a surprising level… truly frightening for us all.”

Beside him, another elder, dressed in a Zhongshan suit and wearing reading glasses, with a head full of silver hair, also appeared extremely aged, yet his aura, when unconsciously released, was terrifying!

No doubt, this elder must have been a significant power in his past!

”Indeed… Daoist Zhengyi, observing the magnitude of yesterday’s battle impact… how would you compare the strength of those fighters to yourself?”

The elder adjusted his reading glasses and asked solemnly to a Daoist with an ancient attire and a dust whisk next to him.

”Me?”

The Daoist in ancient attire with the dust whisk shook his head with a bitter smile and said directly, ”Chief Tangg Yuann, you’re overestimating me. Yesterday’s battle included two figures, reportedly of the Five Ghosts Rank of the White Snake Sect, and the Two Hex Brothers of the White Bone Sect...”

He paused slightly,

His eyes revealed a solemn look, and he continued, ”Their cultivation level is at least at the Third Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm, even the Peak of the Third Heavenly Layer. My modest skills have barely reached the Second Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm… the difference is vast, incomparable.”

”Gasp!”

The elder known as ’Chief Tangg Yuann’ narrowed his eyes, involuntarily gasping! Clearly shocked by Daoist Zhengyi’s words.

This Daoist Zhengyi was a notable figure within the Giant Spirit Secret Realm and the Zhengqing Sect, one of the ’Two Sects, Three Sects.’

He once witnessed a regional rebel army organization with thousands of members in the Golden Triangle area provoke Daoist Zhengyi, only to be decimated within half an hour. Not a single person was left standing.

So, in this elder’s heart, such a master like Daoist Zhengyi was akin to a god, unattainable and indescribable, but now?

Now, Daoist Zhengyi claimed he didn’t even qualify to compare with the people battling yesterday —how could this not shock him?

Are there beings stronger, more outrageous than those like Daoist Zhengyi who can change the skies and seas with a flip of the hand? The elder suddenly felt dizzy, speechless.

And clearly, Old Master Xuu, Xuu Dongtian, was aware of Daoist Zhengyi’s prowess.

Seeing Daoist Zhengyi’s words at this moment, he couldn’t help but show a faint expression of shock in his eyes, involuntarily murmuring, ”Then it seems I must ask that brat later. Such terrifying figures, if not controlled properly, are exceedingly dangerous… can he really handle it?”

The elderly man with reading glasses nodded in agreement beside him. If it weren’t for the gravity of the matter, involving wide implications, they wouldn’t have personally come to Chengyang County.

Because indeed, this is too significant, mishandling it might cause national upheaval…

”Chief, Chen is here.” At this moment, a policeman in uniform with a gun escorted a young figure inside.

That figure was none other than Chen Fei.

”Hey old man, why aren’t you enjoying a peaceful retirement in the Capital City, and came to suffer at this desolate place of ours?” Chen Fei greeted with a smile upon entering.

”You little rascal, you’re still in the mood to joke around. Do you think this old bones of mine want such trouble? It was caused by you, messing things up so badly… the higher-ups are in chaos now, every nerve is tense.”

Old Master Xuu glared at Chen Fei in annoyance, then extended his hand to introduce, ”Let me introduce, Old Tangg, this is the young man I’ve mentioned to you, Chen Fei, of the Flying Leopard. Chen Fei, this is Tangg Yuanlong of my generation, currently the head of the Headquarters of Sea, Land, and Air… and this is Daoist Zhengyi of Zhengqing Sect.”

”Chief Tangg?!” Chen Fei was surprised upon hearing this, realizing why the elderly man with reading glasses looked so familiar. It turned out he was one of the old Red Army who stood behind Xuu Dongtian, Old Master Xuu, during the founding ceremony…

”Hello Chief Tangg, I’m Chen Fei. If you don’t mind, just call me by my name.” Chen Fei smiled and spoke.

After speaking, his gaze calmly fell on the face of Daoist Zhengyi, nodding slightly and smiling, ”Greetings, Dao Friend.”

But his attitude appeared noticeably more indifferent than before.

Daoist Zhengyi frowned slightly, and Tangg Yuanlong, Chief Tangg, also subtly frowned, glancing at Old Master Xuu beside him.

The latter understood, feigning slight anger, addressed Chen Fei, ”Rascal, what kind of attitude is this? Apologize to Daoist Zhengyi. I’m telling you, Daoist Zhengyi is a senior expert of Zhengqing Sect…”

”Senior expert?” Chen Fei chuckled, glanced at the still unmoved Daoist Zhengyi, meaning he had no intention to speak, twisted his neck causing cracking sounds, indifferently said, ”Old man, we cultivators have our own rules, leave it be… don’t you agree, Dao Friend Zhengyi?”

Upon hearing this, the latter’s expression slightly changed, looking at Chen Fei, then reluctantly nodded with a forced smile, ”Hmm…”

But a moment later, his gaze fell onto Chen Fei’s face, his eyes slightly gloomy, as he said softly, ”I hear Daoist Chen intends to challenge the experts of the White Snake Sect and White Bone Sect tonight atop Emerald Lake. Do you have confidence in this duel?”

Chen Fei’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly smiled, saying, ”What does it matter if I have confidence or not?”

”Hey, you disrespectful kid, what are you...” Old Master Xuu and Chief Tangg Yuanlong’s faces changed. Old Master Xuu hurriedly spoke.

But at this moment, Daoist Zhengyi suddenly extended his hand, stopping Old Master Xuu from talking.

He looked at Chen Fei, his face somewhat dark, and said faintly, ”It seems Zhengyi must presumptuously inquire about your strength... If you don’t have confidence, why utter such words and disgrace yourself?”

Evidently, he was now slightly irritated.

Chen Fei’s youth was apparent to him, and no matter how talented or extraordinary a young person might be, how powerful could they really be?

You could say that from the first moment he saw Chen Fei, he had already given him a very low score, especially now that Chen Fei’s demeanor in front of him was so arrogant, as if he were a senior martial artist, which made him quite uncomfortable.

Moreover, both the White Snake Sect and White Bone Sect belong to the demonic sects, their styles and methods extremely cruel! To be implicated because of such a reckless, arrogant person would be truly disheartening.

”Daoist Zhengyi, calm down, calm down. We’re all on the same side, there’s no need to create such a scene,” seeing that Chen Fei and Daoist Zhengyi were about to clash, Old Master Xuu and Chief Tangg Yuanlong changed colors and tried to intervene.

Old Master Xuu even secretly signaled to Chen Fei, glaring fiercely at him and motioning, ”What are you standing there for, kid? Aren’t you going to apologize to Daoist Zhengyi?”

”Apologize?” Chen Fei’s lips twitched, shaking his head, he said, ”I’m afraid Daoist Zhengyi couldn’t handle my apology. Old man, don’t worry. If he wants to try his hand against me, let him go ahead and test his luck.”

”How can you talk like this, kid? Ah, Daoist Zhengyi, calm down, kids are like this, they don’t know better... Eh, Daoist Zhengyi, what are you...” Old Master Xuu muttered, his gaze suddenly froze, looking at Daoist Zhengyi with astonishment and doubt.

Because at that moment, right before him, Daoist Zhengyi inexplicably began trembling all over, beads of sweat rolling out, soaking through his Dao robe. He then looked at Chen Fei with terror, as if he’d seen some unbelievably terrifying threat...

”You, you, Little Chen, what did you do to Daoist Zhengyi?” Chief Tangg Yuanlong was the first to respond, his gaze trembled as he looked at Chen Fei, somewhat stammering.

”Oh, nothing, just helping someone clear their mind a bit...” Chen Fei said with a smile, and Daoist Zhengyi finally seemed to snap out of some nightmarish experience, collapsing instantly to the ground, drenched in sweat, as if soaked in water.

Next, he shakily got up, his eyes filled with deep admiration and some fear as he looked at Chen Fei, stammering, ”Zhengyi was blind to dust, I ask the senior for forgiveness. Please, forgive me, senior.”

”Daoist Zhengyi, you...” Tangg Yuanlong, and Old Master Xuu both trembled, looking at Daoist Zhengyi with shock and doubt.

But at this moment, Daoist Zhengyi had no time for them anymore.

Because just a moment ago, when Chen Fei said he dared to try, an overwhelming aura that made one’s soul tremble directly, like a mountain pressing on him, had struck! Instantly making him feel like he’d encountered death, breathing became a luxury.

This kind of feeling, such a terrifying aura, how could he not know that the smiling young man before him was definitely a super terrifying figure, far more powerful than Zhengyi, a hundred times! Even a thousand times!

The fact that he’s willing to talk to you now shows he respects you, but he still dared to speak those words... saying it harshly, it’s simply seeking death, asking for it!

”Is your mind clear now?” Chen Fei asked with a half-smile, looking at him.

”Clear, clear! Senior’s divine might is unparalleled, Zhengyi dares not offend, dares not offend...” Daoist Zhengyi said, dripping with sweat.

As Chen Fei said, among cultivators, there are their own rules. You’re a weakling, daring to swagger before a strong one, posturing, while others could kill you, would merely be a sign of a bad temper, but for you?

Getting killed would be deserved!

”This, this...” At this scene, Old Master Xuu and Chief Tangg Yuanlong glanced at each other, unable to close their mouths, unable to recover for a long time.

After all, in their view, Daoist Zhengyi was a figure even they had to regard seriously, not to be underestimated! But now?

But now he was this terrified in front of such a young man like Chen Fei, the turnaround so stark, was truly unspeakable...

Yet alongside it, a deep sense of shock quietly crept up in their hearts. To instill such fear in someone they revered as a near-deity, Chen Fei, this brat, just how powerful was he!?

”Old man, Chief Tangg, I will now temporarily excuse myself.”

Chen Fei glanced out at the window towards Emerald Lake, where there lay a wooden bed, with faint shadows of two straw hat figures at its head.

”Is the senior going to battle?” Daoist Zhengyi’s face changed with surprise, asking nervously.

Old Master Xuu’s expression slightly shifted as well, gravely saying, ”Be careful. Safety first.”

”A mere flock of worthless pheasants and dogs... watch me smash their dog heads!”

Chen Fei smiled, pushed open the door, his figure exuding absolute confidence.
