Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 154: Return Dragon Drill

Hearing Liu Xingyun’s words, Chen Qingdi smiled and nodded.

"It seems you aren’t happy at the Martial Medicine Association. Why don’t you join me in the future?"

Chen Qingdi said with a smile as he looked at Liu Xingyun.

"Let’s talk about the future when it comes."

Liu Xingyun didn’t directly refuse.

Liu Xingyun led Chen Qingdi to a massive hall and then stopped.

"Si Ming is inside. Be careful,"

Liu Xingyun said.

"Thank you."

Chen Qingdi nodded and strode resolutely inside.

Watching Chen Qingdi’s resolute, solitary figure from behind, Liu Xingyun was deeply moved.

Chen Qingdi had charged in all by himself.

Upon entering the great hall, he found it completely empty.

Chen Qingdi didn’t see Si Ming.

Nor did he see Gong Liangbu and Nie Xing.

"I’m here. Aren’t you going to show yourself?"

Chen Qingdi said softly.

After he spoke, the other party still didn’t appear. This puzzled Chen Qingdi. ’What on earth are they trying to do?’

"If you don’t come out now, I’ll burn this hall to the ground. Understand?"

Chen Qingdi’s voice was cold.

"HAHAHA!"

"Well, well. I didn’t expect Mr. Chen to have such a temper."

A voice rang out moments later.

Then, a man slowly emerged from behind a pillar.

He wore an arrogant expression.

This was Si Ming, a man who looked to be in his thirties.

He was dressed in snow-white robes, his gaze exceptionally cold.

"You’re Si Ming?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

"I am."

Si Ming gave a slight nod.

"You asked me to come, and here I am. If you have something to say, say it."

Chen Qingdi looked him in the eye.

"There’s not much to say, really. The original plan was to kill you."

"But I never expected you to be this powerful."

"That puts me in a difficult position. I can see now that even with my own strength, I’m not necessarily your match,"

Si Ming said.

"So? How do you plan to deal with me?"

Chen Qingdi stared straight at him.

"Why must this be a life-or-death struggle?"

"Your brothers are in my hands."

"If you do me a favor, I’ll let them go,"

Si Ming said.

"What favor? Just say it. No need to beat around the bush."

Chen Qingdi looked at Si Ming coldly.

"Like I said, the original plan was to kill you. But now, I’ve had to change my approach."

"Come with me."

After speaking, Si Ming walked straight out of the hall.

Without another word, Chen Qingdi followed him.

’I’ll see just where this guy plans on taking me.’

No matter where they were going, Chen Qingdi had to follow him to save his brothers.

"What is it you want me to do?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

"Don’t worry, I can guarantee your brothers’ safety. They are fine and completely unharmed."

"They’re in the dungeons of the Martial Medicine Association."

"Don’t even think about trying to rescue them. Otherwise, they’re dead,"

Si Ming warned.

"Just tell me. Where are you taking me?"

Chen Qingdi demanded.

"I won’t hide it from you. Although I’m a member of Di Lin Hall, there is an incredibly evil presence here."

"It’s the Blood Dragon Association. They have always wanted to swallow up Di Lin Hall. Dozens of my brothers in Di Lin Hall have been poisoned by them, and now their lives hang in the balance."

"They’re using this to blackmail us into ceding the Daye Mountain region of Jingxi."

"I’m asking you to save my brothers,"

Si Ming said.

Chen Qingdi hadn’t expected to hear this from Si Ming.

It was also the first time he had ever heard of the Blood Dragon Association.

Although Si Ming made the Blood Dragon Association sound utterly evil, Chen Qingdi wasn’t about to take his word for it. ’He could be lying, after all.’

’In any case, I should focus on saving his brothers first.’

’Poisoned, but with what? As long as I understand its properties, detoxification should be relatively easy.’

’Besides, Si Ming is the vice president of the Martial Medicine Association. The association is full of physicians, so why can’t they cure this poison?’

So, Chen Qingdi voiced his doubts. But the answer he received was firm. Si Ming said directly, "The Martial Medicine Association has many physicians, but not a single one can cure this poison. I heard about what you did for the Zheng Family, so it’s only natural to ask for your help. The poison the Blood Dragon Association used this time is one of the three great exotic poisons in the world: the Return Dragon Drill."

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi’s brow furrowed slightly. He hadn’t expected that.

’When the Return Dragon Drill takes hold, it forms the shape of a blood dragon on the victim’s back. As the mark slowly spreads, the victim suffers excruciating pain until they finally die in agony.’

Understanding this, it was natural that Si Ming had initially held no hope. But after seeing Chen Qingdi’s display of power, he had changed his mind.

If he could save his brothers by relying on Chen Qingdi, he was willing to try.

"The Return Dragon Drill is one of the world’s most exotic poisons. Even I’m not one hundred percent confident I can cure it,"

Chen Qingdi said.

’In truth, if I were to use my Spiritual Power to draw it out, I could forcibly expel the poison from their bodies.’

’But I don’t want to reveal the full extent of my strength so soon.’

’I still need to keep my abilities hidden.’

’After all, the Jingxi Capital is surely full of powerful masters. No matter how strong I am, there’s no harm in keeping a low profile.’

"Just try," Si Ming said grimly. "Whether you succeed or not, I’ll release your two brothers afterward."

Although he had no way of knowing if Si Ming would keep his word, he had to go with him.

Besides, he was curious to see for himself what was so special about the legendary Return Dragon Drill.

After they got into a car, a driver Chen Qingdi didn’t recognize sped away.

Chen Qingdi had no idea where they were going.

Chen Qingdi slept in the car for two hours. He didn’t open his eyes until someone called his name.

Bleary-eyed, he glanced around, his brow furrowing instinctively.

He could feel waves of killing intent.

’Looks like there are quite a few masters here.’

However, Chen Qingdi quickly retracted his cold gaze and followed Si Ming out of the car.

"We’re here?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

"We are."

Si Ming nodded.

As soon as he stepped out of the car, he saw a massive gate not far off. This must be the location of Di Lin Hall.

’But they probably have many residences like this one.’
