He wasn't afraid of the Ghost Doctor, but faced with the Ghost Doctor's reputation and unyielding attitude, he felt a certain amount of pressure. The Ghost Doctor clearly didn't put his Waning Moon Pavilion in her eyes, so he felt the pressure of an impending storm.
He didn't care about the Ghost Doctor at first, but who knew that a bunch of people would suddenly jump out and say they owed her favors. And these were his own people who came to greet him, why didn't any of them say anything before? And who knew how many people didn't come to greet him, making him feel slightly regretful. He felt like he was in a difficult position because of his impulsiveness.
Now he hoped that the Ghost Doctor would send someone to give him a clear attitude, saying that as long as he let go of his people, this matter would be over. Then he would go down the slope.
What the hell, the Ghost Doctor didn't do this at all. What should he do now, release them or not? The problem was, if you still cause trouble after releasing them, then why did I release them?
With a person in his hands, if anything were to happen, it would be a good bargaining chip.
And they had already replied to Yan Jinzhou, saying that they didn't have any ulterior motives, they only detained Wuxin and the others for questioning.
They had to first stabilize Yan's side.
Relatively speaking, Yu Cang was more afraid of Yan's side. The Ghost Doctor was just a little scary because he couldn't figure out her depth, but Yan's troops were a real threat.
… …
For a moment, the eyes of the cultivation world outside of the war were all focused on the capital of Qi.
On the other hand, the Capital City of the Kingdom of Qi had also sensed the impending storm. Due to that, an assortment of people began moving towards the Capital City. That was especially true for the places where cultivators would usually go. There was a noticeable increase in the number of people there.
"What are you all gathering here for?"
At a cultivator's inn halfway up the mountain, a group of Profound Weapon Sect disciples were shouting at a group of people gathered outside the inn.
One person replied: "Nothing much, can't we just meet and chat in Qi Capital?"
The Profound Weapon Sect disciple said in a low voice: "It's best not to cause trouble!" After saying that, he led the people into the inn to investigate.
The abnormal atmosphere in the Qi Capital made the three major sects of the Qi Kingdom a little tense. They sent more disciples to the gathering places of cultivators to investigate. It could also be said that it was a deterrent warning to prevent people from gathering in the Qi Capital to cause trouble.
The three major sects weren't afraid of the Ghost Doctor, she wouldn't normally interfere in the war between countries, they were afraid of foreign enemies taking the opportunity to fan the flames.
The gazes of the three major sects and the School Affairs Desk were all vigilantly scanning every corner of the capital.
Sensing that a large number of cultivators were gradually gathering towards the Capital of Qi, the people in Fufang Garden also felt a little uneasy. Yu Cang looked calm on the surface, but in reality, he had hurriedly mobilized many people from Waning Moon Pavilion to secretly surround and protect Fufang Garden.
Yu Cang had the urge to leave Qi Capital, but some of the elders had advised him against it. They felt that there was no need to get involved in such a matter.
But Yu Cang was stuck between a rock and a hard place. How could he leave? Scared away by the Ghost Doctor? The Waning Moon Pavilion that controlled the entire State of Qin was scared away by a ghost doctor. Wouldn't that be a joke? In the future, how can he command the major sects in the Qin Kingdom?
What was to come had finally come.
Early in the morning, not long after the city gate opened, a carriage slowly approached from the fog in the distance, as if it had suddenly appeared out of thin air.
The pedestrians entering and exiting the city all felt that something was strange. They subconsciously moved to the sides because they felt that the bells on the carriages were a bit strange.
There was a bell hanging in the corner of the carriage, and when it swayed, it made a strange sound. "Ding, ding, ding, ding …"
The sound of the bell was crisp, and then it was muffled. This repeated over and over again. The tone of the bell inexplicably gave people a feeling of mourning.
The speed of the carriage was not fast, and it was neither too fast nor too slow. A coachman, whose face could not be seen clearly, sat on the shaft of the carriage. He wore a bamboo hat that hung from a black cloth.
The coachman sat very steadily, as if he was not affected by the jolting of the carriage. It was as if he was suppressing the degree of the jolting of the carriage, making the entire carriage seem very steady.
The wheels of the carriage rumbled, and there were two horses following on both sides of the carriage. The two riders held the reins firmly in their hands.
One of them was an average-looking woman. Her eyes were slightly squinted, and there was a cold glint in her eyes, as if she was vigilant of everything around her.
The other was an old man. His eyes were big and round, and they were bright and full of expression. He was also constantly looking around, and there seemed to be a bitter smile on his face.
When the carriage arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city felt that something was strange. They stopped the carriage to investigate, wanting to see who was inside.
The person sitting cross-legged on the shaft of the carriage suddenly waved his whip, stopping the person who wanted to lift the curtain.
The soldier who wanted to investigate was immediately angered. He pointed at the coachman and angrily rebuked, "Who are you sneaking around? Take off your bamboo hat and accept the inspection!"
The coachman did not make a sound, as if he did not care.
The soldier became even more angry. He waved his hand, and a group of soldiers immediately surrounded the carriage.
The furious soldier raised his spear, wanting to lift the coachman's bamboo hat. The coachman pressed down with his horsewhip, and the soldier's spear was immediately unable to move.
The soldier was shocked, knowing that he had encountered someone who was not to be trifled with.
The two riders behind the carriage looked at each other, but did not react.
An old and deep voice suddenly came from within the carriage. "They are not here to cause trouble. If they want to see, then let them see."
The coachman immediately withdrew his horsewhip, and the relieved soldier looked at his comrades behind him. In the end, he still gathered his courage and stretched out his spear, slowly stabbing the black cloth under the coachman's bamboo hat.
The spearhead slowly lifted the black cloth, no longer as impudent as before, and his movements became somewhat careful.
However, as soon as the black cloth under the bamboo hat was lifted, the gaze under the bamboo hat glanced at him, and the soldier immediately cried out in shock. He stumbled back, knocking into his comrades in a mess.
His comrades asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
The soldier's Adam's apple trembled. He looked left and right, and then looked at the coachman who was sitting as still as a mountain, as if he did not know whether to speak or not.
On top of the city wall, Elder Xu Bang of the Heavenly Fire Order walked out of the pavilion and asked, "What's the commotion down there?"
The atmosphere in Qi Capital was strange. The three major sects had sent out their elders to take turns guarding the city gates.
The Heavenly Fire Order disciple who was looking down turned back, and hurriedly cupped his hands. "I don't know what's going on, but it seems like some strange people have arrived."
Xu Bang walked over to the pile of arrows and also craned his neck to look down. His gaze fell on the faces of the two riders behind the carriage. Suddenly he was startled, then in a flash he leaped up and landed lightly beside the surrounded carriage.
As soon as he landed, a group of Heavenly Fire Order disciples immediately floated down.
"Stand down." Xu Bang gestured to the guards, and the surrounding people immediately retreated. He then stared at the two people on horseback and said, "Zhu Jian, You Peipei, it's the two of you!"
The other Heavenly Fire Order disciples did not recognize the two, but they had heard of their names. Zhu Jian, who was ranked third on the Alchemy Rankings, and You Peipei, who was ranked fourth.
They were all a little surprised. Previously, there was an expert ranked second in the Alchemy Rankings who was enslaved in Qi Capital, and later, an expert ranked first was captured. Now, experts ranked third and fourth had arrived. In the blink of an eye, the top four experts of the Alchemy Rankings had all gathered in Qi Capital.
"Elder Xu." The old man on horseback was Zhu Jian, and he cupped his hands in greeting.
The woman on horseback was You Peipei, but she only nodded.
Xu Bang subconsciously looked at the carriage, and it was hard not to notice them. Zhu Jian and You Peipei seemed to be the carriage's guards.
Although the people from the major sects did not care about the experts on the Alchemy Rankings, the top experts on the Alchemy Rankings might not submit to the major sects. Those who were at the top of the Alchemy Rankings all had their own pride. To be able to have experts ranked third and fourth on the Alchemy Rankings as followers, who was the person in the carriage?
The recent news, and the gradual gathering of cultivators in Qi Capital, made him have a vague guess about the person in the carriage.
As he looked at the carriage, he asked, "You two can't be considered friends, right? Back then, for the third place, you even died and I lived. Why are you here together now?"
You Peipei did not say anything, and Zhu Jian smiled and said, "The person in the carriage is Mr. Hei Li, and the two of us are temporarily guarding him!"
The Ghost Doctor? The group of Heavenly Fire Order disciples was slightly shocked. The Ghost Doctor's name was Hei Li, and the person in the carriage was the legendary Ghost Doctor?
At that moment, they all wanted to see what he looked like.
As expected, it was the Ghost Doctor! Xu Bang's heart tightened. He had guessed it earlier, but he did not expect it to be true. The Ghost Doctor had indeed been provoked by Yu Cang, and he did not hold back this time. He had actually recruited experts ranked third and fourth on the Alchemy Rankings as his guards. In addition to the cultivators that had gathered in the city, it seemed like he had no intention of being friendly with Yu Cang.
Before he arrived, the aura that engulfed Qi Capital had arrived first. In addition, the legendary Ghost Doctor had a vengeful personality.
Although it was only a carriage and two guards, he realized that Yu Cang had more or less gotten himself into trouble this time.
If he did not have the confidence, would he come to him like this?
Strength was often the best way to gain respect. Compared to the two top experts on the Alchemy Rankings, Xu Bang cupped his hands towards the carriage and said, "So it is Mr. Hei Li who has come personally. I am Elder Xu Bang of Heavenly Fire Order. I have long heard of Mr. Hei Li's great name, and it is my honor to meet you today. I wonder if I can spare some time to meet you? "
Elder Xu's deep voice came from within the carriage. "I am merely a traveling physician. I dare not claim to be of the Heavenly Fire Order."
Xu Bang continued, "Mr. Hei Li's medical skills are superb and respected by the world. I have some medical problems that I would like to consult you on. There is fragrant tea at the top of the city wall. May I invite Mr. Hei Li up to the city wall for a chat? "
Elder Xu's deep voice said, "Why do you insist, Elder Xu?"
Xu Bang waved his hand. "Mr. Hei Li misunderstood. I have only heard of your great name and am eager to meet you."
Elder Xu's deep voice said, "My disciple has met with misfortune in Qi Capital. I have come with a heavy heart and am not in the mood for the time being. May I ask, Elder Xu, may I enter the city? "
As an Elder of Heavenly Fire Order, he was so polite and condescending, yet he was rejected. He felt that he had lost face, but he could not lose his temper. Instead, he changed the topic. "I heard that Mr. Hei Li is coming. The heads of the three major sects of Qi are waiting in the palace. I hope that Mr. Hei Li will not make them wait too long."
Elder Xu's deep voice said, "We all mind our own business and walk our own paths. There is no point in continuing to insist. I have come today for a private matter, so I do not wish to disturb the three heads. I hope that Elder Xu can apologize to them on my behalf. "
Xu Bang's cheeks tightened. "I know a little about Mr. Hei Li's purpose for coming, but the three major sects have to remind you that this is Qi Capital. Mr. Hei Li Li, you better not act recklessly. Otherwise, it will not look good on everyone."
Elder Xu's deep voice said, "I am just a traveling physician. I have no intention or ability to get involved in the world's disputes. I have come to settle a private matter. As long as the three major sects do not interfere, I am not an insensible person and would not dare to offend the three major sects."
