Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 166 - Ling Chen’s Plan

After a long and cold night, the sun once again took his rightful place in the sky, igniting the world anew with its majestic brilliance.

At this moment, Ling Chen was already out and trying to figure out a way to rack up a huge amount of good karma. It was the main reason he stopped by the ancient Blue Dragon City on his way to the Sun God Palace.

Blue Dragon City was one of the most populated

Cities throughout the Sun Demi-God Domain. And with such a densely populated MegaCity, there bounds to have many problems and people suffering from all kinda disease and sickness.

As such, Ling Chen wanted to take full advantage of that by spending a few days in the city to collect as many good karmas as possible.

The first thing he needed right now was a base of operation, a place of his own. Blue Dragon City wasn't the same as the other villages he's been to where he could just use the Village's Chief house as his own base of operation.

This was Blue Dragon City, a city that was created and controlled by one of the most powerful and ancient families throughout the whole Sun Demi-God Domain. He couldn't just go and knocked on their door and explained his plan to cure as many people as he could in their city.

They wouldn't believe him and would think he was some crazy monk. Furthermore, even if they did, they would find a way to use him for their own objective.

The only rule governing this Region and the rest of the world was the survival of the fittest. The law of the jungle. As such, these powerful people didn't really care about the poor and the people that were suffering in their city, not that Ling Chen was any better.

Currently, Ling Chen was visiting the poorest as well as the most populated region of the Blue Dragon City. He has long realized that this was the perfect place to set up his base of operations.

As usual, no matter where he went, he somehow became the center of attention. Even though there were all kinda people resided or going and out of the city, there's never been a monk before.

As such, he became the focus of attention which he didn't care about. However, he somehow felt a little confused and baffled because, despite his resounding fame, no one seemed to recognize him in the city.

It wasn't that he was a sucker for fame, but it would make things easier for him if there were some people that knew him and his miraculous ability.

As he walking within the poorest region in the city, Ling Chen's speed did not seem fast, but it was in fact faster many times than a normal person's walking speed.

On the way, he saw many shops along the sides of the street, some were for rent, some were recruiting helpers, and of course, there were also those which were for sale! However, none of them caught his attention yet.

As he continued to move forward, he saw a group of people making a commotion in front of a small house at the crossroad junction ahead.

Since he wasn't doing anything and had some time to spare, he decided to take a look!

"Huang Peng, you are nothing but a quack doctor. If you don't give me my money back, I'll destroy that damn hut you called a clinic." A voice that was filled with anger and arrogance spoke out.

"l mean, look at my uncle now. I brought him here because he had a small stomach ache, and then he became like this after taking your shitty medicine." Angrily yelled out the young man as pointed out to the silky old man on the ground.

Ling Chen who just arrived took a quick look at the old man on the ground. The old man seemed to be in his late sixties. His face was kinda purple and his breathing was very weak.

As for the young man, he looked quite strong and sturdy. He was facing Huang Peng who was a middle-aged man with a sharp knife in his hand, and behind him was a group of thugs armed to the teeth. It was clear that the young man was part of a small gang or something.

"Xie Tong, You're talking gibberish. You are just trying to silly my good name and the reputation of my clinic."

"Look at your uncle. He is obviously poisoned now, but when he came, it was merely a stomach ache. And now you are saying it's my fault he's like that." Huang Peng retorted anger as he was looking at the old man on the floor with an indifferent look on his face.

"It's because of your shitty medicine. You better cure my uncle now and refund me all my money otherwise, I'll burn that damn clinic of yours to the ground and torture the hell out of you before I kill you." Yelled out Xie Tong with his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Hahaha! Xie Tong, who the fuck you think you are? Don't forget that my clinic is under the protection of Brother Li, a peak Martial Lord powerhouse. If you dare to touch a hair on my head or my clinic, not Bother Li will annihilate you, he'll also destroy that third rate gang of yours." Shouted Huang Peng while laughing out loud.

It was clear that he wasn't afraid of Xie Tong and his gang because of the protection of that so-called Brother Li.

"You want me to cure your uncle, you need to pay 500 hundred gold coins. It's as simple as that." He added with a devious smile on his face.

"So you are the one that poisoned my uncle so you can blackmail me for more money." Yelled out Xie Tong with his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"I Huang Peng is an honest man. I would never do something like harming my patient. Everyone here could vouch for me." He said while looking at the people around with a serious look on his face.

It was clear that he was lying. However, none of them dare to stand up to him. They instead lowered their head, afraid of saying anything.

Looking at the smug expression on Huang Peng's face as well as the look of fear of the others, Xie Tong's mouth curved upward into an evil smile as he said. "Huang Peng, Huang Peng, Huang Peng! Now that I'm sure you are the one that poisoned my uncle, Not only I'm going to burn that clinic of yours, I am also going to torture you and kill you in the most inhumane way possible."

"Also, you might not have heard but your brother Li was killed yesterday by one of the Long Family's guards. You have no one to protect you now." He added with a devious smile on his face.

The moment Huang Peng heard the last sentence, he didn't care whether or not Xie Tong was telling the truth, he suddenly turned around and ran as fast as he could with his tail between his legs.

"Go get him! Don't let him escape." Yelled out Xie Tong to his subordinates.

"Amitabha, oh merciful Buddha. Why don't you let this poor monk take a look at the old man, benefactor."An abrupt voice spoke out!

Upon hearing that calm and soothing voice, everyone turned around and that's when they saw a bald monk with unique ordination markings on his head standing in the back.

The bald monk had a string of large and round Buddhist beads hung by his neck as he stood there with his palms placed together. His amiable smiling face and sage looking face made him seem like he was the most accomplished monk in the whole universe.

"A monk!." Not to mention Xie Tong, everyone was surprised when they saw the monk. They've bee standing there for hours and yet, they've never noticed the monk who seemed to have been standing there for quite sometimes. It was as if the Monk was invisible. They didn't notice him until he talked.

Without giving Xie Tong and the others a chance to catch their breath, Ling Chen slowly walked toward the sickly old man and placed his hand on his stomach.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a golden light shone out of his right hand and enveloped the sickly old man. Within a few seconds, the old man that seemed as though he was on the brink of death looked as healthy as a horse.

Upon witnessing such a miraculous event, everyone became both shocked and surprised, even the arrogant Xie Tong.

Everyone was now frozen. To them, this was an impossible feat and a miracle.

"He ....he ....cure the old man just like that." One of them couldn't help but softly whimper in shock

"How's that possible." Xie Tong also fell deep into confusion, but this was the reality that laid before his eyes. His mouth was wide open as well. He couldn't close it due to his bewilderment.

After curing the old man, Ling Chen didn't stay there any longer and quickly left. He already accomplished his objective.

Now, he just needed to find a good place for his base of operation, as for publicity, he wasn't worried about that anymore.

The people witnessing him instantly curing the old man would give him as much as publicity possible. It was also the main reason he chose to step in and cure the old man.
