After walking out of Chen Xuan’s courtyard, Holy Leader Yuanming, Sect Leader Ziyang, Holy Leader Chiyan, the King of Yan, and the Holy Monk Sanzang, who represented their respective factions, couldn’t help but look back at the small courtyard.

“Pure Heart Medical Cottage.. What a humble name.”

“I do wonder who Pure Heart is though, to be so favored by that senior that he named his medical cottage after her,” Holy Leader Yuanming muttered to himself.

“We’ve all benefited from senior Chen’s care during this trip,” Holy Leader Chiyan said, “If there’s a chance in the future, we’ll have to come and meet the senior more often.”

Holy Monk Sanzang said, “Senior Chen is very busy. The matters he worries about are the matters of the world. We only got an audience for an hour with him because the five of us were gathered and the Empress of the Wu Dynasty introduced us to him. I’m afraid he won’t be summoned if he walks around alone.”

Sect Leader Ziyang nodded in agreement, “Sanzang is right. Senior Chen is a reclusive expert and doesn’t like to be disturbed by others. We shouldn’t disturb him too much if we have no important matters. Of course, if the matter is urgent, that’s a different story.”

The King of Yan looked at Xia Zhuyuan with envy, “Empress, I’m very envious that the expert is living in your territory. If he was in the Yan Kingdom, I would’ve built a palace for him and given him a good life.”

Xia Zhushan smiled, “I’ve already said that he’s a reclusive expert. Why would he care about where he lives? To be honest, I’ve considered preparing some maids for senior Chen before, but I was rejected.”

“Hehe, I understand now. Senior Chen simply likes peace and quiet.”

The few of them reached a consensus.

Then, they left.

However, just as they reached the boundary of Guizu Mountain, they saw many streams of light rushing over.

Whoosh.

The sounds of things traveling through the air were endless.

The first to arrive was a middle-aged Daoist wearing a white robe. His clothes were similar to Holy Leader Yuanming’s.

“That’s Elder Mingxin from Holy Land Yuanming!”

Xia Zhuyuan took a look and guessed the identity of the other party.

Soon after, another person in a fiery red robe arrived.

“Holy Land Chiyang’s young master Chi.”

Following this, several more people arrived.

“The sect leader to be of the Ziyang Sect, Zi Donglai.

“The Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom, Yan Dan.”

“Wu Jing, the disciple of Tang Kingdom’s Holy Monk Sanzang.”

Those who came were all people of status.

After them, the Wu Dynasty’s Astronomy Holy Envoy Zhang Mu, the deputy commander of the Embroidery Pavilion Bai Lu, and the patriarch of the Dugu family Dugu Sheng, also arrived.

“What’s the matter for you to come here in such a hurry?” Holy Leader Yuanming asked.

The newcomers looked at each other, and Elder Mingxin spoke first, “Holy leader, the Medicine God Valley has broken the non-aggression treaty. They have sent their army into the Central Region. They are coming for the Wu Dynasty.”

“The Medicine God Valley!” Xia Zhuyuan was shocked when she heard the name.

That was a saint-level faction that could be ranked among the top in the entire Xuanling World.

A force like this usually had celestials, and they could crush the Wu Dynasty with a finger.

Were they going to attack the Wu Dynasty?

“To be exact, they are here for Guizu Mountain,” Holy Land Chiyan’s Young Master Chi added, “Two months ago, the Medicine God Valley sent two War Gods to Guizu Mountain, but one of them died while the other was handicapped. The Medicine God Valley is here on the grounds of avenging them.”

“Hmph!” Hearing this, Holy Leader Yuanming snorted, “Senior Chen has already made a move and even let one of those War Gods return. He’s given them so much face, but they still don’t know what’s good for them. They’re just looking for death.”

Holy Leader Chiyan had a fiery temper, and he also said, “Hmph, does the Medicine God Valley really think that we are pushovers? They want to attack the Wu Dynasty? Let’s see if we’ll agree!”

“Yes, yes.”

Sect Leader Ziyang, the King of Yan, and Holy Monk Sanzang agreed.

Xia Zhuyuan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard their responses that were in favor of the Wu Dynasty, but she still said rationally, “Please calm down. The Medicine God Valley provoked us first and now wants to attack the Wu Dynasty. They are in the wrong. However, the Medicine God Valley has sent their army, and they have celestials and War Gods with them. If war really breaks out, the Central Region will be destroyed. Furthermore, this matter also involves senior Chen. Why don’t we go in and ask senior Chen for his opinion? ”

“You’re right,” Holy Leader Yuanming praised, “Let’s go ask senior Chen now.”

“Let’s go.”

When they came out, they had been thinking about when they would have the chance to see senior Chen again.

They didn’t expect that the opportunity would come the moment they left.

How could they miss it?

“You wait outside, we’ll go in and ask senior Chen,” Holy Leader Yuanming arranged for only the leaders of the various factions, Xia Zhuyuan, and Patriarch Dugu to enter.

As for the others, in his opinion, they were not qualified to meet the person inside.

In the Central Region, Holy Leader Yuanming had always been the most respected. This was a mindset that had been formed over thousands of years. Therefore, no one challenged his arrangements.

Outside the Pure Heart Medical Cottage, Chen Xuan was teaching Yan Jin how to grind the medicine to maximize its effectiveness.

Just as he was teaching, he saw that Holy Leader Yuanming, Xia Zhuyuan, and the others had returned.

“Is there something else?” He asked with a smile.

Even though he was already a tier 3 Dao Entry realm celestial, Holy Leader Yuanming still felt a hint of pressure in front of Chen Xuan. He was a little nervous, so he gestured for Xia Zhuyuan to explain the situation.

After all, Xia Zhuyuan was the most familiar with senior Chen.

“It’s like this, senior,” Xia Zhuyuan’s tone was calm as she slowly said, “The Medicine God Valley is here again. We are here to ask for your opinion. How should we deal with them?”

“Medicine God Valley?” Chen Xuan thought for a moment before smacking his head, “Ah, I remember. It’s your family, right?”

He looked at Yan Jin.

Yan Jin lowered her head in embarrassment.

Xia Zhuyuan, Holy Leader Yuanming, and the others immediately focused their gazes on Yan Jin.

Yan Jin.

Yan Wuyi!

“I see,” Holy Leader Yuanming muttered, “So, senior Chen’s disciple is the holy maiden of the Medicine God Valley who has been missing for many years. Therefore, when the first two War Gods came, one was dead and the other was injured. It seems that the only reason why one of them managed to return alive was that senior Chen showed mercy on account of his female disciple, Yan Jin..”

“It must be so,” Holy Leader Chiyan nodded and said, “The Medicine God Valley simply doesn’t know what’s good for them. Senior Chen has already shown mercy, yet they still want to fight.”

“Master, I’m sorry to have caused you trouble.” Yan Jin lowered her head in guilt.

“What trouble? Since you’ve become my disciple, your matters are my matters as well,” Chen Xuan said indifferently, his body exuding an indescribable warmth, “It’s just that those people are too greedy. They’re insatiable. They’re so annoying!”

Insatiable.

Pushing their luck.

This was Chen Xuan’s evaluation of the Medicine God Valley.

He remembered that the last time they came to his door, he had already written an even more perfect medicinal recipe for them. But now, they were still clinging to Yan Jin and wanted to get back the ancestral medicinal recipe. If this was not insatiable, then what was?

“Insatiable and annoying!”

Hearing these words, Holy Leader Yuanming, Holy Leader Chiyuan, Xia Zhuyuan, and the others were stunned.

Their expressions froze.

Was Senior Chen angry?

They had never seen him so angry before.

Even Patriarch Dugu’s eyelids twitched.

“Back when I came here to discuss Dao with senior Chen, he wasn’t even this angry. But now, he has called those people from the Medicine God Valley “annoying”. I can see that they have really pissed him off.”

Under Chen Xuan’s guidance, his Dao had shattered before he re-entered it again.

Patriarch Dugu had always wanted to repay Chen Xuan’s kindness, and he felt that this was a good opportunity.

“Senior, if you’re willing, how about I handle this matter?” He bowed.

“You?”

Chen Xuan looked at Patriarch Dugu.

After re-entering the Dao, Patriarch Dugu’s appearance had become younger. Chen Xuan couldn’t recognize him at first.

However, judging from the other party’s appearance, he was too young and might not have any experience in negotiating and mediating matters.

Just as Chen Xuan was hesitating, Holy Leader Yuanming came forward and said, “We are also willing to shoulder the senior’s burden.”

He naturally represented Holy Leader Chiyan, Sect Leader Ziyang, the King of Yan, and Holy Monk Sanzang.

Chen Xuan had just conducted transactions with these business world big shots. He knew that they were rather tactful when it came to dealing with matters. Since the Medicine God Valley was after that ancestral medicine recipe, it was ultimately just for their benefit. Since it was a business matter, he could leave it to them.

He would let a professional do professional work.

“Then I’ll have to trouble all of you,” Chen Xuan said softly, “Those pieces of trash don’t deserve to exist in this world. Just don’t let them appear in front of me again!”

“Understood!”

The group nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
