Chapter 119: Valley of the Medicine Masters
“The Tang family chief said… the imperial court of Yunyang country could have an adept who has already reached the Connate stage!” Ren Jiapei told Zhou Donghuang seriously. “He even said, the court also rears a Petty Consummate demon Cloud Condor. That condor is as fast as the golden-crowned eagle. If the imperial court sends a Great Consummate adept together with the Cloud Condor, then your two golden-crowned eagles will no longer have any advantage.”
Ren Jiapei tried her best to persuade Zhou Donghuang to leave, just short of personally sending him out of Chu royal city.
“Jiapei, thank you for telling me of all this.” However, after hearing Ren Jiapei’s words, Zhou Donghuang merely smiled and said, “However, if the imperial court is really just as powerful as you say… I don’t think that’s enough to make me leave the city to hide.”
…
Yunfeng prefecture capital.
“You’re finally back!” The man in a loose green robe looked extremely tired as he rode through the prefecture capital walls on a ferghana horse. His entrance was recognized by many people.
“It’s the chief of the preeminent Hong family, Hong Wei.”
“Greetings, Chief Hong.”
…
Many people along the street greeted the man. Clearly, he was none other than Hong Wei, chief of the preeminent Hong family of Yunfeng prefecture capital.
“I heard that his son, the first young master of the Hong family, Hong Yunfei, managed to enter the Valley of the Medicine Masters… is it true?”
“The Valley of the Medicine Masters? The sect that rules over Yunyang country and has adepts of the Connate stage?”
“Indeed. Accordingly, all sixteen countries in the western valley, including Yunyang country, have to prepare offerings to the Valley of the Medicine Masters every year to seek protection.”
“I’ve heard of that too. Apparently, it was only because of their protection that other Connate stage adepts did not come and cause trouble in Yunyang country.”
“The Valley of the Medicine Masters is truly the guardian angel of Yunyang country.”
“But, where did you hear that Hong Yunfei entered the Valley?
“From a drunk disciple of the Hong family.”
…
Hearing the commotion, Hong Wei frowned slightly and asked, “Who spoke so loosely?” However, almost immediately, his frown disappeared. “Forget it, even if they don’t know about it now, they will find out eventually when Yunfei and Dandan return home. Now, maybe it’s for the better that the news has spread… at least the governing Zhao family will not treat us so poorly anymore.”
Soon, Hong Wei returned to the Hong family household.
“Second Brother, has anything happened in Yunfeng prefecture recently?” After washing up, Hong Wei asked his second younger brother, Hong Kun. In the time that he had been away, he had left all matters regarding the family to his brother to handle.
