Eternal Saber-Chapter 304 - 28: Warning

"Wait for me to come back."

Chen Tang got up and was about to head out the door.

"Don't go!"

The Jade Flute Fairy was slightly out of breath, even speaking became rather difficult.

Chen Tang said, "I just killed quite a few Hermits. Now going to the port is actually relatively safe."

Lady Yun laughed, "You don't think that in all of Qianzhu City, there are only those two hundred Hermits, do you? With such a big commotion, there are bound to be more Hermits coming. Once you leave the Shadow Tower, your troubles will be endless."

Blacksmith Feng said, "The training Hermits undergo from a young age makes them numb to death. Dozens of lives wouldn't scare them."

Lady Yun added, "I must remind you, nighttime is best for Hermits to stealthily infiltrate and hide. Their assassination methods are more covert and dangerous. And you, after just finishing a major battle, how much strength do you have left?"

The Jade Flute Fairy looked at Chen Tang beside her, shaking her head, said, "It's too dangerous."

"Me?"

Chen Tang smiled, his eyes drifting to the word 'dangerous' on the black stone tablet, regarding his task level, he said faintly, "I am not in danger, it is them who are in danger."

The hearts of many Hermits in the hall were chilled, their expressions changed slightly.

This was both a threat and a warning!

If someone else said this, everyone would just take it as a joke.

But after witnessing Chen Tang's methods firsthand, no one dared to underestimate him.

Of course, as Blacksmith Feng said, dozens of lives couldn't instill fear in the numerous Hermits!

Apart from a few in Lower Concealment who completely gave up the thought of taking action against Chen Tang, many in Middle Concealment had not yet given up.

Chen Tang collected the Hidden Coins on the counter, picked up the bloodstained long knife beside him, and walked out of the Shadow Tower without looking back.

Outside the Shadow Tower.

The night was as deep as water, silent, and exuded a sense of killing.

The outside had already been cleaned spotless; there were no bodies left. If not for the traces of blood, the previous battle seemed to have never occurred.

Chen Tang remained calm and composed, heading in the direction of the port.

The journey was exceptionally quiet.

Chen Tang didn't encounter any assassination attempts.

But using the Wind Listening Technique, he could sense a slight disturbance carried by the night wind. In the darkness behind him and around were many hidden Hermits.

The attire of these Hermits was not pure black night suits but rather gray and tea-colored clothes, which blended better with the moonlit night, appearing unobtrusive.

If some Hermits lay motionless on rooftops, even Chen Tang would find it difficult to detect unless he analyzed carefully.

The numbers increased as he walked!

These Hermits were all waiting for the right moment.

The recent battle had indeed left a psychological impact on these Hermits.

They grew more patient and cautious.

Tonight, the moon and stars were sparse, it wasn't a new moon night.

Moonlight scattered on the streets, somewhat bright.

Before long, Chen Tang had arrived at the pharmacy in the port area.

In the darkness, there was quite a bit of movement converging here, before gradually settling into silence.

These Hermits hid in the darkness, corners, and shadows, using beams, pillars, carts, stone mills, straw… various obstacles to conceal their figures.

Everywhere Chen Tang's gaze reached, he saw no one!

But he knew, Hermits in the vicinity already numbered over a hundred!

The way back was not peaceful.

Chen Tang focused, maintaining Spirit Platform Clarity, and knocked on the pharmacy door.

"Who's there?"

Soon, a slightly childish voice came from inside.

"Recommended by Lady Yun of the Shadow Tower, here to seek medicine."

Chen Tang said in a low voice.

He wasn't a Hermit, so he had to use Lady Yun's name for now.

Once inside the pharmacy, it's the Hidden Coins that do the talking.

"Wait a moment."

A moment later, a child of about ten opened the door, looked at Chen Tang with some curiosity, and stepped aside to let him in.

This pharmacy was also under the Shadow Tower's banner. Here, Chen Tang didn't worry about being assassinated.

Entering the pharmacy, Chen Tang smelled a strong herbal fragrance.

"What medicine are you seeking?"

An old man with a gaunt face and goatee stood at the counter, tinkering with a medicine jar, not even lifting his eyelids, he asked indifferently.

This should be the Physician Li mentioned by Lady Yun.

Chen Tang thought to himself, took out a Hidden Coin, placed it on the counter, and slowly handed it over, saying, "The antidote for the Five Poison Powder."

If the other party was willing to take this Hidden Coin, then the trade was considered agreed.

If the other party remained unmoved, Chen Tang would need to continue raising the price.

Physician Li did not even glance, continuing to tinker with the medicine jar.

Chen Tang thought for a moment, then took out another Hidden Coin.

Physician Li still remained unmoved.

Chen Tang pondered briefly, then directly placed five Hidden Coins on the counter.

It was only then that Physician Li stopped his actions, took the five Hidden Coins, took a small scale from the side, came to the medicine cabinet, grabbed a few herbs, carefully weighed them, and then placed them into another medicine jar to mix.

Soon, he picked out five packets of medicinal powder and handed them to Chen Tang.

"Take one packet internally each day."

Physician Li said flatly, "In five days, the poison will be cured."

"Thank you."

Chen Tang expressed his thanks, placed the antidote into his bosom, and headed out the door.

...

Port of Qianzhu City.

On a large cargo ship, Xiao Pu, Brother Yin, and many attendants stood aside while Shen Yu stood at the ship's prow, feeling the night breeze, gazing in the direction of Qianzhu City, lost in thought.

Xiao Pu gently advised, "Miss, the night wind is strong, it's better to go back to the cabin and rest."

Shen Yu seemed not to hear.

"Miss."

Xiao Pu called again twice.

Shen Yu finally came to her senses and suddenly pointed to the distance, "I think I just saw Brother Chen, he went into that pharmacy."

"What Brother Chen?"

Xiao Pu was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, "That Chen Tang?"

Shen Yu nodded.

Brother Yin said, "Miss, you must have seen it wrong. It's night now, belonging to the Hermits. If Chen Tang appeared at night, it would be courting death."

"But that figure..."

Shen Yu slightly frowned, lost in thought.

Although it was deep night, and she couldn't see clearly, that tall and burly silhouette was indeed too much like Chen Tang.

Before long, that tall silhouette appeared again at the pharmacy door.

"Look, is it him?"

Shen Yu hurriedly pointed in that direction.

Xiao Pu and Brother Yin widened their eyes, looking over there, indeed seeing a figure very similar to Chen Tang.

But immediately, in their line of sight, they saw dozens of shadows, emerging from nowhere, rushing toward that tall figure!

"Ah!"

Shen Yu exclaimed, feeling a chill.

Xiao Pu and Brother Yin were also startled.

Even one Hermit assassination would be enough to keep them on high alert, let alone so many Hermits attacking at once.

Clang clang clang!

The next moment, from that direction, came the sound of weapons clashing.

In the moonlit view of the three, they saw that tall figure maneuvering skillfully under the siege of numerous Hermits, leaping and dodging, the gleam of knives and swords, severed heads and limbs flying in the air...

The surrounding shadows grew fewer.

In just a short time, that tall figure had cut a bloody path, let out a long howl, and rushed toward the city!

Shen Yu and the others were left staring wide-eyed, expressions filled with astonishment.
