The Urban Medical Martial Immortal-Chapter 783 - 779: The Pact of Dragon Slayer Valley (First Update!)
Chapter 783: Chapter 779: The Pact of Dragon Slayer Valley (First Update!)
From the moment Lin Tian took Zhou Yadong and Leng Caiwei under his wing and taught them three Healing Basic Secret Methods, the two became even more dedicated and hardworking at the medical hall.
Now, during the summer vacation, they were almost always out early and back late, arriving at the medical hall just as dawn was breaking.
They took care of patients with minor ailments, prescribed Chinese Herbal Medicine, and spent the rest of their time studying various herbs and perfecting the Secret Techniques passed on by Lin Tian.
Having such a person like Lin Tian teach them hand-in-hand was an opportunity that comes once in a blue moon; how could they not seize it?
Lin Tian always kept an eye on their efforts.
He had come to regard them somewhat as his own Registered Disciples.
When Leng Caiwei was kidnapped, Lin Tian’s face darkened with surging anger as he hurried back to the Changsheng Medical Hall.
The sky was barely light, and the streets were empty.
Lin Tian strode to the end of Dragon Nest Road and saw the open yet desolate medical hall, his expression cold as he walked over.
At the entrance of the medical hall, Zhou Yadong sat on the threshold, his face filled with anxiety. He was at a loss, his expression showing a blend of desolation and panic, his eyes slightly red, as he occasionally looked back into the medical hall.
Clearly, he had been crying!
"Master!"
Hearing the footsteps, Zhou Yadong looked up, abruptly stood, and with a tearful voice said, "Master, you have to save Weiwei..."
"A grown man, crying for what!"
Lin Tian’s face steeled, and he scolded with a frown, but seeing Zhou Yadong’s disconcerted state, he softened his tone and said, "Don’t panic! Did you call the police?"
"Master, I didn’t call the police, I didn’t dare to! That person... that person is too terrifying, he said if I called the police, I’ll never see Caiwei again!"
Zhou Yadong wiped his tears, showing a trace of fear on his face, his voice trembling as he thought of the person who had appeared, "That person, wearing all black clothes, had a skull hanging on his waist. Right after we opened the medical hall, he suddenly flew down from the roof, grabbed Weiwei, left a letter, and flew away with her, and before he left, he said his name was the Ghost Raising Taoist..."
It was the Ghost Raising Taoist indeed!
Lin Tian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He was annoyed and a bit excited internally.
Annoyed because the Ghost Raising Taoist had actually kidnapped Leng Caiwei, excited because the Ancient Map was about to be within reach.
"Where’s the letter? Let me see it!"
Lin Tian looked around the medical hall but didn’t see the envelope, so he thought Zhou Yadong had put it away.
"The letter is up there..."
Zhou Yadong looked up and pointed toward the ceiling of the medical hall, his voice quivering as he swallowed hard, "That black thing wrapped the envelope up there... The Ghost Raising Taoist said you need to personally retrieve it. If anyone else touches it, they’ll be poisoned until nothing but pus is left! He said... if Master can’t get it down, you shouldn’t bother going... that’s all I know! Master, is that Ghost Raising Taoist a... demon?"
Mentioning demons, Zhou Yadong’s face turned pale, with fear written all over it.
After all, for someone like Zhou Yadong, who comes from the most ordinary family at the bottom of society, a regular college student, such feats – someone appearing and disappearing without a trace, descending from the sky, and then flying away with a person – were too incredible and frightening!
"A demon? Don’t worry; there’s no such thing! The Ghost Raising Taoist is just a person, who used a trick similar to magic to scare you..." Lin Tian reassured him with a smile seeing Zhou Yadong’s frantic demeanor, but internally he added, cultivators who turned into demons still existed.
Hearing this, Zhou Yadong’s tense expression finally eased slightly.
Lin Tian looked up at the ceiling, where a strand of black and sinister aura enshrouded a parchment envelope.
Was the Ghost Raising Taoist a Cultivator from Miao Region? Moreover, judging from the aura, he was very likely a Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
The aura wrapping the envelope was very similar to that of Chou Wanqiu whom he had encountered the previous night, Lin Tian secretly deduced.
However, this black aura was no match for him. He lightly leaped up, the Samadhi True Fire in his palm surged forth, burning away the black aura and gaining possession of the envelope.
"Master, are you one of those legendary martial arts experts? Then, is that Ghost Raising Taoist also a peerless master who came to seek revenge on you?"
Zhou Yadong had previously witnessed Lin Tian’s skill behind the scenes at Su Yuan’s concert. Seeing Lin Tian’s tactics once more, he couldn’t help but ask with puzzlement,
"Let’s just say that’s the case! I will rescue Weiwei; don’t be anxious! The Ghost Raising Taoist needs me and won’t harm Weiwei. You just need to be aware of this yourself!"
While comforting and instructing Zhou Yadong, Lin Tian began to open the envelope. Inside were only a few short lines of text—
If you want to save her, come to Yundian Dragon Slayer Valley!
I have the Spiritual Medicine to rescue her here, but it cannot be moved. Come and assist!
If you don’t possess the skills your medical hall advertises, then prepare to collect the bodies of your people!
Meet me in Dragon Slayer Valley within seven days!
...
After reading the contents of the letter, Lin Tian crumpled the paper in his hand, turning it into powder.
"Have you heard of Yundian Dragon Slayer Valley?"
Lin Tian furrowed his brows and asked Zhou Yadong.
"I’m aware of Yundian Province; it’s to the west of our Guixi Province, already on the southwest border!"
Zhou Yadong looked at Lin Tian with surprise and concern, replying, "But this Dragon Slayer Valley... I’ve never heard of it. Even in the geography books of the past, or the maps for sale, or the GPS on the internet, I’ve never seen this place..."
It seems I’ll need to ask someone!
Lin Tian’s eyebrows knitted together in distress as he reluctantly pulled out his phone, ready to ask Changsun Yinghan. She should be the most knowledgeable about the situation here.
However,
Just as he took out his phone, Changsun Yinghan and Huang Juun both walked into the medical hall together.
"How did you know I was here?"
Lin Tian was somewhat astonished to see the two appear, but he quickly waved his hand and said, "No matter, I was just about to look for you!"
"Mr. Lin, we were looking for you. We went to Que Mountain this morning, but the security there said they hadn’t seen you come back, so we came here instead!"
Changsun Yinghan and Huang Juun exchanged glances and then she took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Lin, do you have any arrangements?"
"You go first!"
Lin Tian rubbed his head and sat down on the couch.
"Mr. Lin, it’s like this! We have now reached cooperation with Chairman Changsun, agreeing that continued strife isn’t as good as a win-win partnership."
At this moment, Huang Juun began to explain, "It’s just that... last night, several people approached us, saying they also need to cooperate with our underground forces. They’ll come to negotiate with us in a few days!"
"Who are these people?"
Lin Tian casually inquired.
"People from Heelanyang in Yundian Province! Heelanyang is a big shot in Yundian Province, controlling the underground forces there, and he’s very powerful!"
Changsun Yinghan furrowed her brow and commented, "But we only know of Heelanyang as a big shot over there, and we’re not very familiar with him. Collaborating with him makes us feel unsettled. So we wanted to ask for your opinion..."
"Heelanyang from Yundian Province? You handle it! But I happen to need you to inquire about some information from Yundian Province..."
Lin Tian’s face showed a hint of surprise as he nodded, "Have you ever heard of Dragon Slayer Valley? Or could you contact Heelanyang? I need all the information I can get about Dragon Slayer Valley!"
"Ah... Dragon Slayer Valley? Does such a place exist? I’m not very familiar with Yundian Province, Heelanyang might know, but contacting him might take a few days!"
Changsun Yinghan looked at Lin Tian curiously, then thought for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "Mr. Lin, shall I try to contact Heelanyang’s people for you right now? But it might take a couple of days."
A couple of days?
Lin Tian’s expression turned a shade uglier, knowing that in a few days, it would be too late. But after thinking it over, he had made up his mind, "You go ahead and gather information. I’ll head to Yundian Province directly. Contact me with any news you find; it’s urgent!"
