The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 723: Chapter 719: Umbrella in the Rain (Third Update!)

“Ghost Raising Taoist? Where can I find him?”

Lin Tian stared coldly at Vimong Songkan, demanding an answer once again.

The fragment of the Ancient Map was inseparably linked to the Nine-Turned Chaos Pearl that he had brought with him through rebirth. It was extremely important.

Now that other cultivators had taken it, things had become even more troublesome and complicated.

What was most important was that the other party might very well be a Golden Core Stage cultivator!

If it were the initial stage of the Golden Core, it wouldn’t be so bad, but if this Ghost Raising Taoist were at the late stage or even the peak of the Golden Core Stage, Lin Tian would be helpless if the other party refused to hand it back.

However, that didn’t mean he was going to give up.

At the very least, he needed to find the Ghost Raising Taoist first. Even if the other party was more powerful, when it came down to attacking him, Lin Tian would still have ample ability to escape!

It was just that the thought of the treasure being taken away still made him anxious!

“Senior, I really don’t know where to find that Ghost Raising Taoist! Although he has a bit of a reputation, it’s said that his whereabouts are always uncertain and hard to track. Unless he comes looking for Vimong…”

Vimong Songkan shook his head helplessly and said, “However, I have heard from some cultivators in your Huaxia that the Ghost Raising Taoist has been looking for various treasures that can extend life and even grant immortality over the years!”

“Treasures that extend life and grant immortality? Do you mean…”

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, pondering for a moment before saying, “You’re suggesting that I let him come to me?”

“Yes, senior! The Ghost Raising Taoist seems to be in desperate need of treasures that can extend life or grant immortality. As long as there is any peculiar treasure, he would take a look at it. For example, the Ancient Map was something he took a fancy to and forcibly exchanged for it!”

Vimong Songkan nodded slightly, showing a bitter smile on his pale face, and continued, “So, senior, you just need to declare publicly that you have treasures that can extend life or grant immortality, and he should come to you! Senior, that’s all I know. Please, grant me a swift end!”

Lin Tian frowned slightly and contemplated in silence, already formulating a plan in his mind.

Suddenly, with a thought, Evil like Xiaotian buzzed, and the True Qi exploded. Lin Tian tore Vimong Songkan into shreds, turning him into a mist of blood.

With Vimong Songkan dead, the teahouse fell into an instant silence.

Witnessing his brother’s death, Parra Songkan stared with frightened eyes, frozen in shock. Grief and horror interwove ceaselessly on his face.

But soon, he snapped out of it. Shivering all over, he used his remaining hand to prop himself up and crawled towards Lin Tian while pleading, “Senior, please spare my life. I’ll leave Huaxia immediately and never set foot here again!”

Lin Tian remained silent, stepping down from midair as everyone watched, appearing divine.

Thud~

As his feet touched the ground, Lin Tian didn’t even glance at Parra Songkan. With a wave of his hand, a streak of Samadhi True Fire shot out, turning him to ashes.

“Real Man Senior, we are willing to submit!”

With Parra Songkan dead, Qiu Yaoping and the others could no longer hold on and knelt down en masse, crying out for mercy.

Yet,

Lin Tian paid no attention to these people and found a place to sit down, taking out his mobile phone to make a call.

“Mr. Lin, what are your orders?”

The call connected, and Huang Juun’s respectful voice came through.

Lin Tian glanced at Qiu Yaoping and the others trembling on the ground and spoke indifferently to Huang Juun, “Hengling Gang headquarters, come here now!”

After speaking, Lin Tian hung up the phone.

On the other side,

Sitting in an office of the Azure Dragon Division in Liiu Yuan City, Huang Juun looked at the phone emitting a busy tone in his hand, his face clouding over.

He wants me to go to the Hengling Gang headquarters?

Huang Juun thought he had heard wrong.

That place was a dragon’s pond and tiger’s den, a place of no return, wasn’t that sending oneself to death?

Yet, he dared not disobey Lin Tian’s words, so he reluctantly got up and drove off.

In the tea house headquarters of the Hengling Gang, Lin Tian didn’t wait too long before Huang Juun arrived.

Outside the tea house, corpses were strewn everywhere. Huang Juun was shocked as he approached the door, and as he entered and saw Lin Tian sitting calmly, with Qiu Yaoping and others kneeling on the ground, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Come in. The Hengling Gang originally belonged to your Azure Dragon Association, you handle the matters here!”

Lin Tian stood up and said coldly to Huang Juun, “Also, keep an eye out for any news related to the Ghost Raising Taoist lately. As soon as there’s any clue, notify me immediately!”

After speaking, without waiting for Huang Juun to reply, Lin Tian walked straight out of the tea house.

But just as he reached the doorway, he halted his steps.

“Conspiring with the unbearable curse master, you deserve to die!”

Lin Tian released a Fire Bomb Technique, blasting Qiu Yaoping into fragments.

At the same time, his hand was surrounded by True Qi, which formed into a gleaming True Energy Blade that zipped through the air and penetrated the body of the only remaining Martial Arts Grandmaster.

“As long as you obey Huang Juun, you will not die!”

Lin Tian left behind these words and stepped away, making his way back to Que Mountain Villa.

The Spiritual Energy of Que Mountain was sparse and distended, the atmosphere was heavy, lacking its previous lightness, and Lin Tian’s mood was also deeply depressed. He sat cross-legged in the villa’s small garden, frowning as he looked up at the sky.

Improving his strength and searching for the remaining Affiliated Beads of the Nine-Turned Chaotic Pearl was critical, and the Ancient Map was a key part of it!

Now, having come all the way to Liiu Yuan City and endured so much, yet failing to obtain it, the only lead was the Ghost Raising Taoist. It felt to Lin Tian as though a giant stone weighed on his heart, unable to control everything smoothly, making him extremely uncomfortable!

“I need to devise a plan to lure out the Ghost Raising Taoist! But, I must not rush…”

Lin Tian murmured softly to himself, then placed Evil like Xiaotian between his legs and closed his eyes to meditate.

This time, having absorbed the blood energy from Vimong Song Kan, Evil like Xiaotian was extremely powerful. He needed to help Wu Yan’s soul refine and absorb it.

With only a strand of Wu Yan’s soul left, without the Soul Summoning Fruit and Divine Spirit Liquid, Lin Tian was helpless.

For now, the best he could do was stabilize the other’s soul to preserve it longer without dissipating into the world!

Lin Tian’s figure sat quietly, as time flowed like running water. The Golden Crow set in the west, and the moon rose in the east. The night, like a piece of black cloth, was pulled down briskly, then swept away by the wind, bringing forth the faint light of dawn.

In the garden of the villa, Lin Tian was still sitting there, unaware of when the drizzling rain began to fall, enveloping him.

However, the raindrops didn’t manage to wet his body, as they were all blocked by an Invisible force.

A tall figure appeared behind Lin Tian, holding an umbrella.

“The rain doesn’t wet him?”

The newcomer let out a crisp sound of surprise, but ultimately stepped forward to hold the umbrella over Lin Tian.

Hearing the noise, Lin Tian abruptly opened his eyes and turned to look.

Before him were the tall and elegant figure and the exquisite, beautiful face.

“Sister Su Yuan, what are you doing here?”

As Lin Tian recognized the woman, he expressed surprise and then looked up at the umbrella that shielded him completely. Noticing that Sister Su Yuan was half soaked, he felt a warmth in his heart and said with a smile, “Sister Su Yuan, don’t worry about me. Look, you’re all wet. Let me take you back!”

Standing up, Lin Tian handed the umbrella over and, taking hold of Su Yuan’s hand, began walking toward her villa.

Pulled along by Lin Tian, Su Yuan could only follow, laughing as she said, “I just hurried back here. I was too lazy to drive, took a taxi instead. I passed by and saw you sitting in the rain, so I came over!”
