Chen Qingdi concealed his killing intent, afraid that if the man sensed it, he would stop answering questions.

After all, the man was about to die. Why would he bother saying more?

"Keep talking."

Chen Qingdi said, looking at the man.

"The two Guardians are incredibly powerful. I heard they’ve already reached the Tongming Ascension realm."

The man made the members of the Evil God Hall sound exceptionally powerful.

But Chen Qingdi was unimpressed.

"You can’t mean that even the Palace Masters of your sub-halls don’t get to meet Lord Evil God?"

Chen Qingdi found that hard to believe.

"That’s right. Forget meeting the Evil God in person, we can’t even see the two Guardians."

"Below the Guardians are the Ten Evil Venerables."

"Usually, it’s the Ten Evil Venerables who issue orders for any missions."

"I’ve told you everything I know. You can let me go now."

The senior member of the Evil God Sub-Hall just wanted to escape Chen Qingdi’s grasp as quickly as possible.

But there was no way Chen Qingdi would let him go that easily.

"Is that really all?"

"Tell me every other secret we don’t know. Spit it all out, and be honest about it."

Chen Qingdi’s voice was low and menacing.

"Yeah, start talking! Otherwise, you’re not walking out of here alive."

Master Hei chimed in, shouting to intimidate the man.

But no matter how much Master Hei threatened him, the man refused to say another word.

"How about this: just tell me where the other Evil God Sub-Halls are, and I’ll let you go."

Chen Qingdi said, watching the man’s expression.

"Okay, I’ll tell you now."

"But I only know of two of the larger sub-halls. I honestly don’t know about any others."

"However, rumor has it there are three hundred and sixty sub-halls in total."

"Each one is built in a place that ordinary people could never find."

The man then told Chen Qingdi the cities where the two Evil God Sub-Halls he knew of were located.

One was in Lingyun City, and the other in Jingxi City.

Both of which were considered second-tier cities at best.

After the man finished speaking, Chen Qingdi had his men torture him some more, but they couldn’t extract any other substantial information.

In the end, Chen Qingdi had Master Hei finish the job and kill the man.

"Master, are we heading to Lingyun City or Jingxi City next?"

Chen Yuan asked, looking at Chen Qingdi.

"We are."

Chen Qingdi gave a slight nod.

After eradicating the Evil God Hall’s sub-hall, Chen Qingdi dismissed his men.

Everyone went their separate ways.

Only Chen Yuan remained with Chen Qingdi, returning with him to Jinghai City.

From a villa, Chen Qingdi gazed intently at the city’s skyscrapers.

Chen Yuan stood beside him.

"It’s time for us to leave Jinghai."

"But before I go, I need to bring my godmother, Lin Zhongxue, and her goddaughter, Lin Qingmeng, with me."

"The people from the Medical Dao Alliance should be here by now. They can manage Jinghai from now on."

Chen Qingdi issued the order directly.

"The envoy from the Medical Dao Alliance, Long Lei, has already arrived. I’ll personally explain the matter to him."

"But Master, are we going to Lingyun City or Jingxi City?"

Chen Yuan asked.

"We’ll go to Jingxi first. It’s closer, after all."

"Besides, it’s close to Kyoto."

"We might be able to find some information on the Evil God Hall in Kyoto. That guy didn’t say anything about a branch there, but I have a feeling the Evil God Hall has a major presence in Kyoto."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Yes, I think so too."

"I’ll go make the arrangements now."

"I’ll go and invite Mrs. Lin and Miss Qing Meng over right away."

Chen Yuan said.

"No, you go handle your tasks. I’ll do this myself."

"It’s been a while since I’ve seen them anyway."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Very well."

Chen Yuan nodded and quickly departed.

Lin Zhongxue was a brilliant physician and had opened a clinic in Jinghai City.

Lin Qingmeng was always by her side.

Later, Chen Qingdi had bought them a villa so they could live comfortably.

But they weren’t the type to sit still.

They had to be at the clinic every day.

He glanced at the sky. Mrs. Lin should have been home by now.

So Chen Qingdi arrived early at the gate of Mrs. Lin’s villa.

But the gate was locked tight, and Mrs. Lin wasn’t home.

Chen Qingdi found this puzzling.

After another half an hour of waiting, there was still no sign of Mrs. Lin.

A sense of unease began to creep over Chen Qingdi.

He tried calling Lin Zhongxue, but there was no answer.

Chen Qingdi had no choice but to try calling Lin Qingmeng.

The call finally went through after several tries.

"Qing Meng, it’s the Cyan Emperor. Why isn’t Godmother home yet?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

Chen Qingdi was accustomed to calling Lin Zhongxue "Godmother."

"Something’s happened at Godmother’s clinic."

"She won’t be back anytime soon."

Just as she said that, a burst of noise erupted from her end, and the call was abruptly disconnected.

A tense expression crossed Chen Qingdi’s face.

He immediately sped toward Lin Zhongxue’s clinic.

Whatever was happening, Chen Qingdi had to get there and see for himself as soon as possible.

He floored it the entire way, pushing the car to its absolute limit to reach Lin Zhongxue’s clinic faster.

Half an hour later, he finally arrived.

A massive crowd had gathered, blocking the entrance completely.

Chen Qingdi immediately pushed his way through. He saw a middle-aged woman grabbing Lin Zhongxue by her clothes, screaming curses at her.

"You killed my son with your treatment! Give me back my son!"

The woman’s face was contorted with rage, and she looked ready to strike Lin Zhongxue at any moment.

"I didn’t kill him."

"He was perfectly fine when he left here yesterday."

"You can’t frame me like this."

Lin Zhongxue pleaded.

"Frame you? My son only ended up like this after taking the medicine you prescribed!"

"You’re going to give me an explanation today!"

With that, the woman once again grabbed Lin Zhongxue by the collar.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingmeng was trying desperately to break them up.

But it was completely useless.

"Stop it!"

Chen Qingdi’s voice boomed.

Hearing his voice, the surrounding crowd fell silent.

"Make way!"

Chen Qingdi commanded.

An immense presence washed over them, and the crowd instinctively parted, creating a path.

On the clinic floor lay a stretcher. On it was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen.

The boy’s eyes were shut tight, his face was pale, and his lips had turned a shade of purple.

He looked dead, but Chen Qingdi could tell at a glance that the boy was still alive.

Chen Qingdi immediately brought two fingers together and gently tapped the boy’s Yuguan acupoint.

A faint spiritual light flowed into the boy’s body.

"What do you think you’re doing?"

"Who said you could touch my child?!"

Seeing Chen Qingdi touch her son, the middle-aged woman shouted furiously.
