Just as Chen Qingdi finished speaking, Liu Xingyun blocked their path.
"Take them away? Keep dreaming."
Liu Xingyun said coldly.
"Then we'll just have to see,"
Chen Qingdi said.
With that, Chen Qingdi turned to lead the group away.
Liu Xingyun gave a sharp wave of his hand, and the high-level Martial Artists from the Martial Medicine Association surrounded them.
Chen Qingdi could see the fear on the faces of the people behind him, the ones he had just freed from the dungeon.
"I already told you not to worry."
"Watch me deal with them."
Chen Qingdi gave a faint smile. His figure then blurred as he launched a direct assault.
A rapid series of THUDS and SMACKS followed.
A large number of them collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Chen Qingdi then turned to Liu Xingyun, who had not yet fallen.
An awkward smile crossed Liu Xingyun's face before he, too, theatrically collapsed.
"Alright, now we can go,"
Chen Qingdi said to the group he had rescued from the dungeon.
"I told you, my boss is amazing."
"Now do you believe me?"
Gong Liangbu said with a proud look on his face.
"I never imagined Jingxi had a master like you, capable of taking on the entire Martial Medicine Association by yourself."
The old man in the crowd remarked, utterly shocked by Chen Qingdi's power.
"Let's go. What are you all standing around dazed for?"
"Once we're back, Gong Liangbu, Nie Xing, get them all settled in,"
Chen Qingdi said to Gong Liangbu and the others.
"Alright."
Gong Liangbu smiled and nodded.
"Boss, why don't we establish some kind of organization too?"
"Then we can wipe out all those detestable sects in Jingxi, along with all their so-called 'Halls' and 'Associations'."
Nie Xing also smiled and looked at Chen Qingdi.
"That's not a bad idea, but let's discuss it later. The priority right now is to get away from the Martial Medicine Association."
"We caused quite a scene this time. As long as the Martial Medicine Association doesn't come looking for trouble, we can both stay out of each other's hair,"
Chen Qingdi said.
"Alright."
Gong Liangbu nodded.
Soon, Chen Qingdi returned home with Nie Xing and the others.
Gong Liangbu and Nie Xing also had some other businesses here, including real estate.
They first gave one of their smaller villas to the people they'd rescued to use as a residence.
Among them were many high-level Martial Physicians, as well as some high-level Martial Artists.
If nurtured properly, they could become the backbone of Chen Qingdi's forces.
In any case, he had finally rescued Gong Liangbu and the others.
'No matter how stupid Si Ming is, he won't be foolish enough to keep picking a fight with me now,' Chen Qingdi thought. 'After this, I've already given him a small taste of my power.'
'If Si Ming still doesn't get the message, I don't mind dismantling the Martial Medicine Association right now and taking over as the boss myself.'
The sky was pitch-black.
Si Ming's arm twitched slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
But when he saw all his subordinates collapsed on the floor under the lights, the color drained from his face.
Then, the phone in his pocket started ringing.
He saw it was a call from Liu Xingyun, and there were also twenty-eight missed calls.
'Did something happen at the Martial Medicine Association?'
Si Ming hurriedly answered the call.
Hearing the urgent voice on the phone, Si Ming realized that something major must have happened.
"What is it? Why did you call me so many times?"
Si Ming asked.
"This is bad! Chen Qingdi broke everyone out of the dungeon!"
Liu Xingyun said.
"What? Chen Qingdi broke them all out?"
"Where did he get the key to the dungeon door?"
Si Ming was baffled.
"He said he took it from you,"
Liu Xingyun said.
Hearing this from Liu Xingyun, Si Ming frantically searched his pockets. Sure enough, the key was gone.
'Looks like Chen Qingdi knocked me out and then took the key.'
"Did everyone from the dungeon leave with Chen Qingdi?"
Si Ming asked.
"Only a few cowards didn't dare to leave. The rest are all gone."
"You should come back quickly, Vice President,"
Liu Xingyun said.
The Martial Medicine Association was truly in chaos now.
"Alright, don't panic."
After saying that, Si Ming hung up the phone.
At the same time, he was incredibly shocked.
He had never imagined that something like this would happen.
But since it had happened, he could only accept it.
Looking at his men still sleeping all over the floor, a sliver of fear for Chen Qingdi rose in Si Ming's heart.
For the first time, he felt completely helpless.
Soon, Si Ming woke his men up.
'Chen Qingdi didn't kill them,' Si Ming thought, 'but it would have been easy for him if he'd wanted to.'
After Zhang Hengyuan learned about what happened at the Martial Medicine Association, his expression also became somewhat grim.
"Lord Si Ming, it seems we cannot clash with this Chen Qingdi head-on,"
Zhang Hengyuan said.
"Yes. I must convene a Martial Medicine Assembly immediately."
"Quickly, go and inform the Ten Great Marshals."
Lord Si Ming looked at Zhang Hengyuan.
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Hengyuan nodded quickly.
「The next day.」
Chen Qingdi had barely woken up when he received a call from Patriarch Zheng, urging him to come over at once to apply the needles for Young Master Zheng.
He said there had been some change in Young Master Zheng's condition.
'Logically, there shouldn't have been any complications,' Chen Qingdi thought. 'Did something else go wrong somewhere?'
So Chen Qingdi had no choice but to head to the Zheng Family estate early in the morning.
When he arrived at the gate, the Zheng Family's Steward Su was already waiting for him.
"Divine Physician Chen, you're finally here!"
"Something's happened! Something's happened!"
"You have to go take a look, quickly,"
Su Wen said with a grim expression.
"What could have possibly happened out of the blue?"
"Did you let another doctor treat Young Master Zheng?"
Chen Qingdi looked at Su Wen.
"No, we didn't. But Young Master Zheng's condition has indeed taken a turn for the worse."
"In any case, you'll understand once you see for yourself,"
Su Wen said.
"Alright."
Chen Qingdi nodded.
He then followed Su Wen towards Young Master Zheng's sickroom.
Inside Young Master Zheng's sickroom, Situ Xian and Patriarch Zheng both wore panicked expressions.
Upon seeing Chen Qingdi arrive, Patriarch Zheng hurried over to him.
"Divine Physician Chen, you must save my son!"
Patriarch Zheng said, his face a mask of panic.
"After I administered the Sixteen Immortal Needles, your son's condition should have been steadily improving."
"What happened?"
Chen Qingdi asked, completely bewildered.
"Please, just take a look,"
Patriarch Zheng said.
Chen Qingdi was also very curious. 'What on earth happened to make Patriarch Zheng this frantic?'
