Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 69: Black Vajra Net

Everyone quickly nodded, then began to rest.

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye, and a thick fog had once again risen in the valley outside.

After going outside to take a look, Chen Yuan returned to report the situation to Chen Qingdi.

"Master, the fog outside is too thick. We can’t see the path ahead at all. Should we still press on?"

Chen Yuan asked.

"We can’t delay any longer. We must reach the Evil God Hall branch today."

Chen Qingdi said with a serious expression.

"Yes."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Then, Chen Yuan turned to look at Master Hei and the others.

"Do you have any objections?"

Chen Yuan asked.

"How could we dare object? We’ll do whatever Lord Medical Emperor commands."

Master Hei said with a cheeky grin.

"Then cut the chatter. We’re leaving now."

"Chen Yuan, you take point. Murong Fei, you bring up the rear."

Chen Qingdi issued the orders directly.

Chen Yuan had now reached the late Guiyuan Realm, so his strength was not to be underestimated.

Furthermore, Chen Qingdi had also specially prepared some elixirs for him.

However, Chen Yuan could only consume one per month; taking too many would be detrimental to him.

Chen Qingdi instructed Chen Yuan to follow his regimen and taught him a Heart Method called the Great Dream Heart Method.

At this rate, Chen Yuan could reach the peak of the Guiyuan Realm in another six months and enter the Master Realm in less than a year.

There was a world of difference between the Guiyuan Realm and the Master Realm.

Once he entered the Master Realm, his power would naturally increase by a significant margin.

After they had been walking for over an hour, the dense fog had mostly dissipated. Chen Qingdi glanced at the time—it was around nine in the morning.

"Bring me the map. I want to take another look."

Chen Qingdi said.

Chen Yuan quickly ran over and handed the map to Chen Qingdi.

After studying it for a few moments, Chen Qingdi had a clear picture of the surrounding terrain in his mind.

"In about another hour, we should be out of this valley."

"Once we’re out of the valley, we’ll reach the Golden Armor River."

"There are no special notations about this river on the map, but I suspect the people from the Evil God Hall may have laid a trap there. In any case, everyone should be extra careful."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Understood."

"We’ll follow Lord Medical Emperor’s every command."

Mu Qingfeng said.

Although the fog had receded, the air was still extremely damp, and no one knew why.

As they continued forward, their clothes became soaked with moisture.

"Look, the exit is right ahead!"

Master Hei exclaimed happily, pointing to the exit in front of them.

As he spoke, Master Hei broke into a run, eager to be the first one out of the valley to see what lay beyond.

But Chen Qingdi felt that something was off.

’There seems to be something at the mouth of the valley.’

"Master Hei, be careful."

Chen Qingdi warned.

"We’re about to get out. What could possibly happen?"

"We haven’t run into anyone from the Evil God Hall branch this whole time. They must be scared out of their wits by us by now."

Master Hei said with a smug grin.

As he ran, Master Hei waved back at the group with a broad smile.

Just as he was about to step out of the valley mouth, a trap sprung with two sharp WHIRS.

A large, black net shot up from the ground with a WHOOSH.

In an instant, Master Hei was ensnared by the net.

"Damn it, it’s a trap! Everyone, be careful!"

Chen Yuan shouted at once.

Everyone’s hearts leaped into their throats.

Then, bulges started appearing all over the ground.

"Damn it! Master Hei must have triggered the traps in this valley!"

"There must be more of these black nets hidden underground."

"Whatever you do, don’t get caught in them!"

Murong Fei said, his voice laced with anxiety as he watched the scene unfold.

But he had barely finished speaking when a pit opened up beneath his feet. A black net shot out and ensnared him as well.

Chen Qingdi, however, remained unhurried. His figure flickered as he dodged one trap after another, then with a light leap, he landed on a nearby hilltop to calmly observe the chaos below.

Soon, everyone except for Chen Qingdi had fallen into a trap and was caught in a black net.

Murong Fei quickly pulled out a dagger and tried to cut the net open, but to no avail.

"Don’t bother trying. This is a Black Vajra Net, woven from Black Gold Thread."

"To get out of here, you’d need a weapon sharp enough to easily slice through the Black Vajra Net."

"Something on the level of a Gold-Breaking Saber, at the very least."

Master Hei said with a wry smile.

"This is all my fault. I triggered the traps and got everyone into this mess. Now we can’t escape."

"Lord Medical Emperor, what should we do now?"

Master Hei looked up at Chen Qingdi, who was standing on the high ground.

"What can you do? Just hang there in mid-air."

"Figure it out. I want to see if you can escape on your own."

"You have to build up your skills gradually. You can’t rely on me to solve everything for you every time."

Chen Qingdi said to Master Hei.

"Yes, yes, you’re right, Lord Medical Emperor is absolutely right."

Guan Shanyuan nodded eagerly.

After that, they began trying every method they could think of to cut through the Black Vajra Net.

Or, failing that, to find a way to untangle it.

But despite trying countless methods, nothing worked. They remained trapped, and it seemed impossible for them to get out anytime soon.

"Don’t rush. Take your time and think of a solution."

"I’m going to take a nap for a bit."

With that, Chen Qingdi lay down on a large boulder and began to rest.

Seeing that Lord Medical Emperor was just going to leave them like that, they each felt a wave of helplessness.

"Brother Chen Yuan, what do we do now?"

Zhao Tong looked at Chen Yuan.

Among those trapped, Chen Yuan was now the strongest.

"What can I do? All we can do is think of a way together."

Chen Yuan could only say as much.

"I don’t think we’re getting through this Black Vajra Net."

"We don’t have the right kind of weapon."

"This thing is too tough."

"Look, even my four daggers forged from black iron and vajra are useless against it."

"They’re already completely dull."

Guan Shanyuan said, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"Don’t lose hope. Let’s all put our heads together and think of something."

"And let’s not waste too much of our strength."

Seeing that everyone was growing agitated, Chen Yuan spoke up to calm them.

Everyone nodded and quieted down, no longer striking fruitlessly at the Black Vajra Net.

No matter how much force they used, it felt like punching cotton.

No matter how sharp their weapons were, they couldn’t cut through the Black Vajra Net.

The Black Vajra Net suspended them in mid-air like a giant black sphere.

When the wind blew, they would sway back and forth.

Needless to say, their current situation was far from comfortable.
