Chapter 863: Chapter 860: The City Lord’s Son_1
Hearing the thick-browed elder’s words, someone on the side interjected: “That’s right. If it weren’t for Liu Yunsheng, Zhang Huafeng wouldn’t count for anything. He relies on his master’s support, and his arrogance is all because of his master’s influence. A true case of ‘like master, like disciple’!”

Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully, understanding the situation. Zhang Huafeng was like this, so his master must not be much better; otherwise, he wouldn’t have done such a thing. If the boy had been someone with some capacity to resist, it would have been acceptable, but the boy had only just reached the age for cultivation, and they were willing to hurt him – such a person could not have come from a righteous background.
The thick-browed elder continued: “Now you know, right, young friend, what kind of people Zhang Huafeng and Liu Yunsheng are? Liu Yunsheng is even worse than Zhang Huafeng. He’s a madman, an unreasonable madman. The key is that Liu Yunsheng doesn’t mess with important people, but only those he can mess with. He’s a real coward, but if he meets someone he can mess with and they mess with him, he’ll do everything he can to get his way! Hasn’t the City Lord fallen into this situation as well?”
“Was the boy injured by Liu Yunsheng?” Yang Chen asked.
“Exactly. The key is that Liu Yunsheng could have killed the boy, but for some reason, he didn’t. I don’t know what kind of poison he gave Young Master Du. Every few days, Young Master Du would foam at the mouth in unbearable pain, and several times he nearly died, narrowly escaping the Ghost Gate. The City Lord had to seek medical help everywhere, and no matter how many Dan Medical experts he found, they could only manage to suppress the condition with medicine.” The thick-browed elder said helplessly.
Yang Chen blinked: “Aren’t there any Dan Medical experts who can cure him?”
...
“Cure? If there was a cure, it would have been done a long time ago. The medicines they make are only for temporary relief, and the longer it is delayed, the more critical the condition becomes. That’s why the City Lord has taken Young Master Du out again to seek medical help. But looking at it now, I’m afraid the City Lord is planning to leave Liang City and Bai Qiong County for good. Our Bai Qiong County is just too small!” someone said.
Yang Chen had a general understanding of the situation and asked curiously: “Can the City Lord’s team follow him out of Liang City together? The whole Liang City is now under strict control by the Black Dragon Sect. The City Lord can leave without any problem, but it might be difficult for his entire team to leave at the same time.”
Hearing this question, the thick-browed elder was at a loss for words.
He thought for a while and said: “It’s hard to say, you know, it’s already against the rules for the Black Dragon Sect to requisition Liang City and force the City Lord to temporarily step down. The City Lord shouldn’t be prohibited from taking his own team out, right?”
“Who knows, the Black Dragon Sect’s brutality hasn’t been just a day or two!”
Listening to their words, Yang Chen came to a conclusion.
That is, Du Zhuifeng intended to take his child and the team to seek medical help together, but it was still very risky. However, the risk was greatly reduced.
Yang Chen let out a silent sigh: “Let’s wait and see a bit longer.”
Yang Chen left the teahouse, and in the eyes of the thick-browed elder, he became a strange person. However, when he thought of the ease with which he had acquired a Top-grade Spirit Stone, he immediately grinned with delight.
Yang Chen arrived outside the teahouse, where Du Zhuifeng’s team had already gathered a large crowd.
Everyone sighed at Du Zhuifeng’s misfortune.
At this moment, Du Zhuifeng had managed to stabilize his child’s condition with a few doses of medicine. However, it was still clear that the boy’s face was waxen, and a faint black air was emitted. Obviously, the situation was far from good, and it was even a question of how many days the boy could survive.
That’s why Du Zhuifeng had a difficult expression on his face, and he said: “Everyone, please make way.”
With Du Zhuifeng’s prestige in Liang City, everyone immediately made way when he asked them to.
Du Zhuifeng took a deep breath: “Let’s go, leave the city!”
Just as he was about to head toward the city gate, Du Zhuifeng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“City Lord, what’s wrong?” someone from his team asked.
Du Zhuifeng looked around, seemingly searching for someone, but the place he was looking at was empty. Hesitating for a moment, he quickly said: “I just remembered something; I’ll postpone our departure for a few days!”
“But the matter with Young Master …” A man who looked like an old steward was trying to say something.
“Even if we left the city and found a Dan Medical expert who could solve his illness, it wouldn’t happen in one or two days. This matter relies on fate; I’ll deal with the forgotten matter first. Let’s go back.” Du Zhuifeng waved his hand.
The old steward had a puzzled look on his face. Just now, Du Zhuifeng was ready to leave the city in good spirits. He really didn’t know what Du Zhuifeng had suddenly thought of, causing him to change his mind.
Of course, doubt was doubt, and the old steward wouldn’t dare to ask anything.
In no time at all, the team had left.
As for Yang Chen, he didn’t know when he had returned to his room at the inn.
After returning to the inn, Yang Chen greeted Jiang Caiying and went back to his room to cultivate. Time passed, and it soon became late at night…
In the quiet late night, Yang Chen pushed open the door and came to the backyard of the inn.
“Senior should be here now!” Yang Chen bowed slightly.
Whoosh!
As Yang Chen’s voice fell, he only felt a gust of wind passing by, and in an instant, a figure appeared behind him in the dark of the night.
Yang Chen didn’t need to guess who it was, and respectfully turned to face him, saying: “Elder Du!”
The person was none other than the father of the boy Yang Chen had met during the day, who had been harmed by Liu Yunsheng – the City Lord of Liang City, Du Zhuifeng.
Du Zhuifeng’s face was serious and stern as he said: “Indeed, I, Du, am a person with a good temper, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a temper! Today, I heard someone Sound Transmission, saying there’s a way to save my child, so I came here with even a sliver of hope to give it a try. However, what I don’t want to see is a young lad telling me he has profound Dan Medical skills and can save my unconscious child that I’m holding in my arms!”
Du Zhuifeng had, of course, brought his child with him today.
However, the boy was still in a coma, and his complexion had not improved compared to the daytime.
Yang Chen could understand Du Zhuifeng’s feelings. If he had seen such an untrustworthy, so-called Dan Medical expert today, he would have been furious too.
As Du Zhuifeng had said, the person who had caused him to suddenly change his mind and decide not to leave the city at noon today was none other than Yang Chen.
His identity was incredibly secret and could not be exposed at all. He had to be cautious in his actions as well.
So, Yang Chen didn’t dare to tell Du Zhuifeng face-to-face that he was a Dan Medical expert. Instead, Yang Chen chose to use Sound Transmission to tell Du Zhuifeng that he was confident and asked him to come to the backyard of this inn at night.
