The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 786: Chapter 782: Heading to Tusk City (Fourth Update!)

“Ow ow ow… Junior Sister, ease up a bit…”

Situ Xiu, with his ear being tugged by a young woman, grimaced in pain, continuously begging for mercy with a bitter expression. “Junior Sister, listen to me! Look at my cultivation level; would I dare to take Master’s Corpse Soul Tripod? When I left our Tianwang Mountain Cultivation Domain, I went to Forbidden Curse Ridge where I offended many people. That’s why I hid here, not because I stole Master’s Corpse Soul Tripod!”

“You’ve been to Forbidden Curse Ridge?”

The woman’s eyebrows rose slightly with surprise, but she immediately snorted sharply. “Hmph, I don’t care where you’ve been; just hand over the Corpse Soul Tripod! Back then, you were responsible for looking after Master’s Corpse Soul Tower, and the key was with you! You suddenly ran away, and the Corpse Soul Tripod disappeared. If not you, who else? Now Master is furious. If you don’t hand it over, when he comes here personally, let’s see how you’ll die!”

“Ah… What! I’ve already handed the key over to Brother Liu Yi, when I used the pretext of retrieving something for Master to escape quietly… I didn’t want to stay at Corpse Soul Mountain any longer, so I just… Didn’t Brother Liu Yi tell Master about this?”

Situ Xiu, his plump face full of astonishment, quickly grasped the situation and exclaimed. “Junior Sister, I understand now! No wonder when I fled, Liu Yi sent people to kill me. Fortunately, I was alert enough to hide beneath the Corpse Soul Abyss! It must be him… The key to the Corpse Soul Tower must still be in Liu Yi’s hands; he definitely took the Corpse Soul Tripod and framed me for it. Since I’d left, Master believed whatever he said!”

“You gave the key to him?”

The woman’s pretty face soured, and she coldly said, “No wonder he was so eager to help Master find your whereabouts; he’s afraid of you appearing, and the truth being revealed! It’s just that it’s problematic now since he’s entered the Inner Sect…”

“Junior Sister, you have to explain this clearly to Master! It’s best not to mention I’m here, or he’ll skin me alive!”

Situ Xiu let out a small sigh of relief, then instantly beseeched the woman.

“If the Corpse Soul Tripod isn’t returned, you’ll still be accountable! Who told you not to hand the key to the Corpse Soul Tower directly to me or Master…”

The woman’s eyes grew colder, scolding him briefly before finally releasing Situ Xiu.

Just then, they noticed the appearance of Lin Tian and Song Manshan.

Aside from Situ Xiu and the woman, three young men stood nearby with a sinister air about them, looking so unsettling it made one’s skin crawl.

“Who are they? Deal in antique raw stones?”

The woman glanced over at Lin Tian and Song Manshan, furrowing her brows.

Situ Xiu turned his head to look, and upon seeing Lin Tian, he shuddered, his face turning ashen, and his legs began to tremble.

“Ju… Junior Sister…”

Situ Xiu swallowed, his voice quivering, but whether out of fear or something else, he couldn’t finish his sentence.

“Hmph, what a waste!”

Seeing Situ Xiu’s state, the woman spoke coldly, “They must be your friends, right? Don’t worry, I won’t kill you, and neither will I take anyone’s life just because I see them!”

Having said that, the woman glanced at Lin Tian and Song Manshan again before adding, “However, if any information related to the Corpse Soul Tripod leaks, all of your lives are forfeit!”

Then the woman kicked Situ Xiu, sending him tumbling away, and promptly left with the three young men.

After the three had left, Situ Xiu scrambled forward, kowtowing with a trembling voice. “Junior… Junior Situ Xiu greets the ancestor!”

Seeing this, even Song Manshan was stunned, blurting out, “Situ Xiu, what are you doing?”

Song Manshan knew Lin Tian was powerful, but he didn’t know the specifics. He knew Situ Xiu, yet it was the first time he saw him so terrified and reverent.

Just that.

Situ Xiu ignored him, bowing his head deeply to the ground.

Only he knew what sort of existence Lin Tian was.

That was a Golden Core Cultivator who could control a Flying Sword, stand on it, and speed through the air—an awe-inspiringly powerful and legendary figure known as the Golden Core Ancestor, akin to a Land Immortal.

The opponent could annihilate him with a flick of his fingers!

Not to mention himself, even if his master were here in person, he would have to bow his head in submission!

How could he not feel terrified in the face of such a being?

“Get up!”

Lin Tian said with a cold expression, “Were those people just now your fellow disciples?”

Situ Xiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, let out a huge sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied, “Senior, that was my junior sister Ye Sbei. Although she is my junior, her talent is far superior to mine. She’s already reached Qi Refining Fifth Level! The other three are my senior brothers…”

“Mr. Lin, do you know each other?”

Song Manshan looked at the dialogue between the two with surprise.

And Situ Xiu, looking up at Song Manshan, also expressed his shock, “Song Manshan, you know the senior?”

“Enough! We all know each other. Stop with the ‘senior’ and just call me Mr. Lin from now on!”

Lin Tian waved his hand and said to Situ Xiu, “I have something extremely important to discuss with you! Have you been to Dragon Slayer Valley?”

“Dragon Slayer Valley?”

Situ Xiu paused for a moment, then said, “Mr. Lin… I mean, Mr. Lin, I haven’t been there! However, when I went to Yundian Province’s Tusk City to collect stones, I saved a person who had escaped from Dragon Slayer Valley. But as for where exactly Dragon Slayer Valley is, and what it’s like there, I really don’t know!”

“Fine, go get your car and come pick us up. We’re heading to Yundian Province’s Tusk City—now!”

Lin Tian nodded and said emphatically.

Situ Xiu’s face went blank as he raised his head to look at the sky and then said, “Mr. Lin, are we travelling through the night?”

“Don’t argue with me! Just do as I say!”

Lin Tian’s brow furrowed and he spoke in a cold voice.

Situ Xiu’s face changed, and a shiver ran through him as he quickly turned around and bounded away like a big rubber ball.

In no time, Situ Xiu drove up in his vehicle, which resembled a ferocious steel beast.

Lin Tian and Song Manshan got into the car and said sternly, “Directly to Tusk City!”

Situ Xiu didn’t dare to waste more words and drove off, leaving Liiu Yuan City with a roar, heading west towards Yundian Province.

“Mr. Lin, although I am familiar with Yundian Province, it is Heelanyang’s territory, so we need to be careful,”

Song Manshan, not as aware as Situ Xiu of the kind of being Lin Tian was, still felt some worries and couldn’t help but speak out as a reminder.

“Heelanyang? Is this guy very overbearing? As long as we don’t cause trouble, he shouldn’t bother us, right?”

Lin Tian turned his head to glance at Song Manshan and spoke indifferently, “But what kind of city is Tusk City? Just the name alone sounds a bit offensive!”

“Mr. Lin, Tusk City is located on the Southwest Border of our Huaxia, adjacent to Yin Du Country, Thainan Country, and others— it’s a rather chaotic city!”

Song Manshan’s face carried a hint of reminiscence as he explained, “That place… it’s a lawless zone! So, in Tusk City, you can find all kinds of people from all walks of life! Even Heelanyang can’t extend his reach there! But whether we are dealing with Heelanyang or going to Tusk City, we are better off being cautious…”

After hearing Song Manshan’s words, Lin Tian nodded silently, then said no more, sitting quietly.
