Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 748: Who Gave You the Courage
The scene before their eyes, freeωebnovēl.c૦m
had exceeded the expectations of the onlookers.
They had not expected Shen Feng, standing behind Song Guangliang, to make a move, and most importantly, he had sent Gu Haohua flying with a single slap!
Was this not an exaggeration?
This kid clearly only possessed the aura of a mid-stage Condensing Immortal!
However, the onlookers were only briefly shocked, as many of them knew Gu Haohua was the true disciple of the Third Elder of the Pharmacist Hall, and now was a good opportunity to connect with the Third Elder.
Among these people, there were no lack of True Immortals and cultivators at the Mysterious Immortal Stage; they immediately surrounded Shen Feng and Song Guangliang.
In their view, since Shen Feng dared to attack someone from the Pharmacist Hall, there was absolutely no way he could leave here alive today.
Facing the encroaching crowd, Song Guangliang’s expression turned extremely unpleasant. It was Gu Haohua who had taken his Spirit Enhancement Fruit and told him to roll out of this place, yet now the fault seemingly lay with them.
Although he was burning with rage inside, in order to let Shen Feng leave, he tried his best to suppress his anger and said, "Fellow Taoists, I was once friends with Gu Haohua. I came here to trade a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, but Gu Haohua took advantage of my request to assess its quality to not only swallow my treasure, but also attempt to provoke me into losing my temper, with the intention of killing me to silence the matter. Do you all really want to abet in his wrongdoings?"
"The Pharmacist Hall has strict rules against the private seizure of a trader’s goods, which is punishable by death."
Upon hearing Song Guangliang’s forceful words, the surrounding cultivators began to hesitate.
Admiration flashed in Shen Feng’s eyes. With his current fighting strength, handling True Immortals and cultivators at the Mysterious Immortal Stage should be no problem, unless he encountered some extremely powerful freaks of the Mysterious Immortal Stage.
He took the opportunity to ask Song Guangliang for a rough idea of the situation through sound transmission.
Gu Haohua, who was lying on the ground and making indistinct noises from his throat, felt malevolent energy rising rapidly in his heart. Just a moment ago, he had been mocking Shen Feng, yet now, he had been slapped away without the power to retaliate by the very person he had looked down upon. Fury caused his chest to heave violently. This was the Pharmacist Hall in Flame Fallen City and he was the true disciple of the Third Elder—no matter what it took, he was determined to tear Shen Feng and Song Guangliang to shreds.
His master, Shao Mochi, was in the Upper Grade trading area, and the moment he had hit the ground, he had immediately sent a sound transmission to his master.
While the encircling cultivators hesitated to make a decisive move,
a powerful aura of a mid-stage Profound Immortal swept out from the Upper Grade trading area, accompanied by an angry shout, "Who dares to harm my disciple? Causing trouble in the Pharmacist Hall is utterly preposterous!"
As the voice fell,
a brown-robed old man appeared in everyone’s sight. His nose was quite distinctive, completely collapsed. Upon seeing the miserable state of Gu Haohua, his expression turned extremely dark.
How dare someone slap his disciple in the Pharmacist Hall, wasn’t this the same as slapping his, Shao Mochi’s, face?
Even though he was only a Third Grade Alchemist, in a cultivators’ city that was not particularly large, his status as a Third Grade Alchemist was enough to earn the respect of many.
Seeing his master appear, Gu Haohua immediately transmitted his thoughts, knowing full well that if the matter here was thoroughly investigated, the truth would come out, so he could not conceal the truth from Shao Mochi, but twisted the whole incident a bit.
First, he mentioned that Song Guangliang and Shen Feng were both Loose Cultivators.
And he also revealed the past friendship with Song Guangliang, and the matter of him possessing a Spirit Enhancement Fruit on this visit.
However, in his sound transmission, he fabricated that there had been some disputes between himself and Song Guangliang in the past.
"Master, you did not hear how arrogant that person was just now; because of our past disputes, he said that even if he were to give that Spirit Enhancement Fruit away, he would absolutely not sell it to you."
"Master, you are currently at a crucial point of breaking through as an Alchemist. If you had this Spirit Enhancement Fruit, it would be of great help to you. In an unavoidable situation, I stored the Spirit Enhancement Fruit in my storage ring and made those two scram from here."
"I didn’t expect this kid who came with Song Guangliang to be so powerful. He smacked me away with a slap."
"Master, I know I was wrong this time. Even if you deal with this matter fairly, your disciple will definitely not have a single word of complaint."
After listening to Gu Haohua’s sound transmission narrative,
Shao Mochi’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was naturally also tempted by the Spirit Enhancement Fruit, and considering that Gu Haohua had snatched the fruit from Song Guangliang’s hand for his sake, they were, after all, mere Loose Cultivators. On his own turf today, if he couldn’t even protect his own disciple, what face would he have left?
He sent a sound transmission to Gu Haohua, who was lying on the ground: "Your loyalty is noted."
"How could your master blame you? They are just two blind wastes. Today, let your master avenge you."
Song Guangliang, who was standing by, saw Shao Mochi remaining silent for a long time and wanted to explain, but as he was about to speak,
Shao Mochi, seething with anger, roared at Song Guangliang, "Just now, my disciple has already told me the whole thing through sound transmission."
"How dare you slander my disciple for snatching your Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures? No need for more nonsense. I’ll leave you two with a breath of life, then I’ll throw you out of the Pharmacist Hall to fend for yourselves. You two don’t even deserve to die here!"
Without giving Song Guangliang a chance to explain, Shao Mochi’s immense aura, at the Mysterious Immortal Middle Stage, surged violently towards Song Guangliang and Shen Feng.
The surrounding Cultivators, seeing Shao Mochi take action directly, now regretted being intimidated by Song Guangliang earlier. Otherwise, they could have definitely earned a favor from Shao Mochi. At the moment, they were extremely regretful.
However, at that moment,
Liu Qicang, who was rushing from the depths of the Pharmacist Hall, happened to sense Shao Mochi’s oppressive aura bearing down on Shen Feng. The excitement on his old face immediately vanished.
Was this old bastard Shao Mochi going to make a move on Senior Shen? It was a crime deserving a thousand deaths!
Anger surged within him.
Shen Feng was none other than the Carefree Immortal Emperor! He was the one Liu Qicang had resolved to follow forever. After waiting for so long, he had always been awaiting Shen Feng’s arrival.
If Shao Mochi caused displeasure to Senior Shen, how could he have the face to show up, considering he was the Great Elder here?
Liu Qicang bellowed recklessly: "Hold on!"
"You scoundrels, who gave you the audacity to be so presumptuous here!"
The indignant voice reached the entrance of the Upper-Grade Trading Area. Shao Mochi, who was about to take action, was slightly stunned as he looked at the Great Elder rushing in. He knew that Liu Qicang was extremely strict and anyone who dared to break the rules would end up in a terrible predicament.
Within the Pharmacist Hall, there might be internal strife on normal days, but if outsiders dared to cause trouble, they would unanimously present a united front.
As far as Shao Mochi was concerned, Liu Qicang must have learned of the situation here and rushed over to deal with it immediately.
Of course, that roar was definitely aimed at Shen Feng and Song Guangliang. Not only was this Shao Mochi’s thought, but almost everyone present believed so.
Now that even the Great Elder of the Pharmacist Hall was here, it seemed likely that Shen Feng and Song Guangliang were going to die very miserably.
Seeing this, Song Guangliang completely abandoned any hope of struggling. For the sake of the Pharmacist Hall’s reputation, they were determined not to let him and Shen Feng leave today. He hadn’t expected that even the Great Elder of this place would be alerted!
