Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

Chapter 2536 Su Chen Gets Beaten

Although Su Chen recounted his experience vividly, Qin Fei and Li Yan frowned as they listened. The reason was simple: what Su Chen was talking about seemed to have absolutely nothing to do with the matter they were currently asking.

Even if he had a difficult time before, that was in the past. Is it related to his current injury?

"Can you get to the point first when you speak?"

Finally, Qin Fei couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted Su Chen directly: "Just tell us now what happened to all these injuries you have."

"I was beaten up at the city gate!" This time Su Chen answered quickly. He said with a frustrated expression, "Before I came here, I heard from others that more and more people were gathering here and there were more and more opportunities for promotion. But who would have thought that this place has now been fenced off and everyone who enters the city has to pay a certain number of crystals to enter."

"The higher the strength, the more crystals you need to pay. I have no money on me, so I can't even enter the city."

"I was so angry that I went to argue with them, and that's how this happened, as you see it now."

Su Chen became increasingly aggrieved as he spoke, and his anger grew stronger.

This city was originally unclaimed, but now it's been surrounded by others who are charging entry fees. This is simply outrageous and lawless.

"Is there really such a thing?"

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Li Yan couldn't help but show a look of confusion on his face.

It's important to know that cities that can collect city fees are places with regular armies. These places have strict rules and regulations, and fighting is strictly prohibited. If such a thing happens, both sides involved will pay the price.

To put it bluntly, people who pay the city entry fee are entitled to protection; it's essentially buying safety with money.

But is the city they are in safe right now?

That is obviously unsafe.

Therefore, this city entrance fee is really unreasonable.

"Do you know who's collecting the city fees?" Li Yan asked directly.

"How could I possibly tell? I was being beaten almost the entire time," Su Chen said, shaking his head.

"That's not right."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qin Fei raised a question: "Now that someone has surrounded the city and is charging fees, how did you, as the one being attacked, manage to get through the city gates to get here?"

"Do you think they'd be so kind as to let you in for free?"

"Free is definitely impossible. It's because when I was fighting with them, many more people took advantage of the chaos to rush towards the city gate. After all, I'm not the only one without crystals."

In this world, the majority of people are poor, so there are far too many people like Su Chen who want to enter the city but can't afford the crystals.

Before, without anyone taking the lead, these people could only wander around the outskirts of the city and could not enter the city at all.

But now that chaos has broken out at the city gate, they might as well take this opportunity to force their way into the city.

Chaos erupted at the city gate, and Su Chen finally managed to escape the siege and rushed in amidst the chaos.

"Brother Li, I feel that the people charging for the siege are either from the Liu family or the Divine Martial Sect," Qin Fei said, turning his gaze to Li Yan.

Whether it's the Liu family or the Divine Martial Sect, they were both plundered by the God of Wine before. The Divine Martial Sect, in particular, had their clothes stripped off, which shows just how difficult their current situation is.

It is said that people will always find a way out when they are in dire straits. Their Divine Martial Sect is now facing a situation where there are no resources available. Under such circumstances, they are actually the most likely to surround this city and collect city fees.

After all, the Divine Martial Sect is a top-tier power. If they were to charge a fee at the city gate, how many people would dare to force their way in?

Just by virtue of their sect's name, they could probably amass a considerable amount of crystals every day.

Crystals are the money of the cultivation world; they can be used to buy all sorts of things. It has to be said that they really chose a business that is extremely profitable, requiring almost no investment.

"Is it possible that the two families are joining forces?" Li Yan suggested at this point.

"Whether it is or not, we'll find out later when we go to take a look."

Su Chen's injuries have been temporarily suppressed, and he only needs to recover on his own.

However, since they dared to hit his junior brother, Qin Fei had to help him get revenge, otherwise wouldn't he be a senior brother for nothing?

About ten minutes later, Qin Fei and Li Yan set off with Li Yan's protectors.

Their goal was very clear: to go to the city gate and see what was going on.

Of course, even before Qin Fei reached the city gate, his X-ray vision had already revealed who was standing there.

Just as Li Yan said, the people guarding the city gate and collecting money were none other than those from the Divine Martial Sect and the Liu family.

Besides their two factions, Qin Fei also saw other unfamiliar faces, a bustling crowd of at least thirty people.

With so many people guarding the city gate they had deliberately left open, naturally very few could force their way in.

It was truly luck that Su Chen was able to break into the city despite being surrounded by so many people.

"so many people?"

The city area was not large, so Qin Fei and his two companions quickly arrived at the so-called city wall.

Of course, this city wall is not like a real city wall, but rather a short section of a real wall with a large, continuous array of formations added on top.

These two things formed a formidable barrier blocking everyone from entering the city, leaving only a small city gate.

"Such a simple and crude method?"

Seeing this scene, Li Yan couldn't help but shake his head and say.

These people have resorted to any means necessary to obtain crystals.

How is this any different from outright robbery?

"Qin Fei!"

The three of them had just arrived when someone guarding the city gate spotted them and made a sound.

Li Yan was alright, although he also had a noble status and had protectors by his side at all times. However, compared to Li Yan, the person who truly impressed them was Qin Fei.

Because Qin Fei has the God of Wine behind him, a super strong person who leaves no room for compromise in his actions. The Liu family and the Divine Martial Sect are bloody examples of this.

Two top-tier powers, yet in the end they both paid huge sums in compensation, making them a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

So when Qin Fei appeared here, their first thought was to get as far away from this scourge as possible.

Because now, if anyone provokes Qin Fei, they might lose everything, not even their underwear. Who would want to have any contact with such a source of plague?

"Since you all recognize me, I'll get straight to the point. My junior brother was brutally beaten and nearly killed here. I wonder who was involved in the attack?"

Qin Fei's question sounded calm, but it immediately stirred up the crowd, because they could all tell that Qin Fei had come with ill intentions.
