Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 352 - 174: Wu Cong

“Brother Chen, are you home? Ma Huantian here to introduce a business opportunity to you. Please open the Array Method!”

Ma Huantian stood outside Chen Yi’s Little Cold Peak, shamelessly shouting loudly with Mana.

Chen Yi initially didn’t want to bother with him,

But when he extended his Divine Sense and discovered the Foundation Establishment elder next to him, he was rather taken aback.

Is it him?

Wu Cong from the Wu Family…

Speaking of which, Chen Yi and Wu Cong have only formally met once,

That was nearly 50 years ago,

When he had just arrived at the Zhao Family, the Zhao family was at war with the Wu Family. After Chen Yi and the then Miss Zhao Chengjing defeated the spy, Old Qiu,

Old Qiu cried for help and it was Wu Cong from the Wu Family who came to his aid,

Chen Yi was fleeing with Zhao Chengjing, and Wu Cong, who was at the ninth layer of Qi refining at the time, wanted to kill them both, but was stopped by Zhao Chongwen who arrived just in time,

As a result, Chen Yi killed Old Qiu and saved Zhao Chengjing.

After that, Chen Yi never directly dealt with Wu Cong. Even when the Zhao Family was confronting the Tan and Wu Families, Chen Yi only heard that Wu Cong was constantly switching sides between Tan and Zhao Families,

He offended both sides in the end and was driven away from Spirit Fish Island by the new family head of the Tan Family, Tan Feng,

But unexpectedly, he met Wu Cong here today.

Truthfully, Wu Cong holds a grudge against Chen Yi. Back then, when Chen Yi was just a little brat at the fourth layer of Qi refining, Wu Cong wanted to kill him,

Although it was mainly because of the war between the Zhao and Wu Families at the time, and Wu Cong’s goal was to capture or kill Zhao Chengjing, who might marry into the Tan Family, Wu Cong didn’t have a strong intention against Chen Yi.

But Chen Yi can’t forget this longstanding grudge.

However, times have changed, Chen Yi is no longer the Chen Yi he was back then, and Elder Wu has become the head of the Wu family.

Times and things have changed,

Now that they have come to him, Chen Yi was not in a hurry to start a fight.

The Turtle doctor is a peace-loving old man, who has spent half his time in the last few decades on Zhao Family Island and Spirit Fish Island, and the other half on Wangyue Island, never had a dispute or a fight with anyone.

Even if he takes action, it is under someone else’s identity, in the cover of the night.

“Guests from afar are welcome, please come in.”

Chen Yi, wearing a green shirt, stood in mid-air with one hand on his hip, and his other hand half stretched, opening the Array Method and inviting the two to enter the mountain gate.

“Eh? Hehe, Brother Chen, your spirit veins at Little Cold Peak are really pure, not bad, not bad. I want to discuss with you about renting it for a few decades…”

As soon as Ma Huantian entered, he turned his head to look around and spoke shamelessly,

But before he could finish his sentence,

Whoosh!

Chen Yi waved his hand, a gust of fierce cold wind wrapped around Ma Huantian, sending him out.

“Diaoist Ma, next time you come to my Little Cold Peak, I hope you bring your brain.”

Ma Huantian was driven out and was about to curse loudly, when a beauty appeared on Xiao Qiu peak next door, shouting:

“Scram!”

Ma Huantian immediately fled with his tail between his legs.

Over here, Wu Cong saw Chen Yi’s actions and remained expressionless, but he couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart. He couldn’t quite tell if Chen Yi was putting on a show of strength or if he simply despised Ma Huantian.

After thinking about it, the aged Wu Cong took the initiative to bow to Chen Yi:

“I’m Wu Cong from the old days, glad to see Doctor Chen.”

Upon meeting, Wu Cong had fully remembered Chen Yi’s identity,

Th𝖎𝖘 𝙘h𝒶p†ℯr 𝖎𝙨 p𝘰𝓈ṯҽ𝒹 b𝑦 𝙆ɩ𝐭ɛ𝗇𝐨ѵ𝑒𝓁

He sighed inwardly, the boy who was at the fourth layer of Qi refining at Zhao Family Island’s medical hall, has now grown to be a second tier Alchemist and Physician that he needs to pay respect to,

He hoped that Chen Yi could let go of past grudges. The Wu Family, new to Danxia Island, greatly needed to establish a good relationship with their neighbors,

People like Chen Yi, a well-known physician and alchemist in the vicinity, are all targets everyone wants to win favor with,

If Chen Yi wanted to deal with the Wu Family, he wouldn’t even need to say it directly, just casually mention it,

There would be many families around who would trample on the Wu Family to win favor with Chen Yi,

After so many years of struggles with the Zhao Family and the Tan Family, the Wu Family can’t afford any more turbulence.

“Daoist Wu, I’ve seen you from a distance before, and Brother Chen was quite scared by you!”

Chen Yi pointed the way and spoke in a calm tone.

An awkward look appeared on Wu Cong’s face:

“I didn’t recognize Mount Tai back then and almost offended Doctor Chen, please forgive me.”

Wu Cong held a very low posture, it’s a different time,

[Humph! In front of me, how could I let a junior run away? Where would I put my face?]

His only sentence to Chen Yi from the past was still vivid in his ears, but now he could only apologize with a bitter smile.

“Daoist Wu, come, sit down and have some tea.”

After chatting for a while,

Chen Yi learned some inner workings of the Wu Family,

Originally, when the Wu Family was competing with the Zhao Family, it was all orchestrated by the Tan Family, including the joint development of Spirit Fish Island later on. In reality, all of Wu Family’s actions were guided by the Tan Family,

Latter Tan and Wu Families teamed up to squeeze out Zhao Family, while the three Foundation Establishment of Tan Family had an accident. When Tan Feng returned and turned against the Wu Family, he believed that the three Foundation Establishments of Tan Family were killed because Wu Cong leaked the information,

He put this blame on Wu Cong,

Now that the Tan Family has the backing of the late-stage Foundation Establishment of the Yang Family, Wu Cong had no choice but to leave,

He happened to meet Ma Huantian who wanted to redeem his family’s second-tier spiritual veins, Wu Cong brought out the spirit stones and helped him get back the Ma family’s property,

Of course, Wu Cong didn’t reveal the details, but Wu Cong was able to survive various dangers by going back and forth between several major families, even able to carry the spirit stones with him,

It couldn’t have been that simple,

Chen Yi guessed that most of the spirit veins at Ma Family’s Danxia Island were now occupied by the Wu Family.
