Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Dragon Group

In the private room.

Inside this private room, there were only three people: Lin Dong, Southern King Wang Xiaojiu and Northern King Murong Qing Yun.

Even Ye Linglong and Divine General Fei Ying, the rising stars of the War Department, had to wait outside.

Because what they were about to discuss was extremely secretive.

At the moment, Lin Dong sat on the sofa in the private room, gently tapping the table in front of him with his fingers and said softly,

”Gentlemen, please speak your minds.”

Southern King Wang Xiaojiu and Northern King Murong Qing Yun exchanged glances.

Then, Murong Qing Yun spoke first, ”Mr. Lin Dong, we are here on behalf of the War Department to recruit you.”

”The Southern King has already discussed this with me before, and I must say I’m sorry. I am not very interested in joining the War Department.”

Lin Dong flatly refused.

Indeed, he had no interest in joining the War Department. After joining, he would be constrained at every turn.

He wouldn’t have spare time to look for more Heavenly and Earthly treasures to cultivate the Nine Shifts Longevity.

In Lin Dong’s eyes, cultivating the Nine Shifts Longevity was always the top priority.

Of course, joining the War Department naturally had many benefits.

Such as power and influence.

But these were secondary to cultivation.

Hearing Lin Dong refuse directly, Northern King Murong Qing Yun was slightly taken aback.

However, he continued to speak, ”Mr. Lin Dong, please hear us out.”

”Our proposal is not a simple recruitment by the War Department.”

”Are you aware that in our War Department, many years ago, there was a legendary figure, the Dragon King War God?”

The Dragon King War God!

Upon hearing this name, even Lin Dong’s face changed.

This name was too prominent in the past.

After all, he was once the number one figure in the War Department, the legend of the War Department.

When Lin Dong was young, he had heard of him, a true national military god.

”Of course, I know. What about it?” Lin Dong asked.

”This time our recruitment of Mr. Lin Dong is related to the Dragon King War God.”

”Ten years ago, the Dragon King War God was injured. Because of his physical conditions, he retired behind the scenes.”

”Correspondingly, his greatest weapon ’Dragon Group’ was also disbanded!”

”Speaking of which, both Xiao Jiu and I were once ordinary members within the Dragon Group... yet today, we have both become War Kings capable of guarding a region.”

As he spoke, a hint of nostalgia appeared in Murong Qing Yun’s eyes.

But he quickly realized he was getting off-topic and brought the conversation back, continuing to speak to Lin Dong:

”Now, forces from beyond our borders are growing increasingly rampant. Especially the International Terrorist Force Nine-Headed Society, which regards our Dragon Country as its top enemy. For years, they have been harming our country’s young martial artists.”

”Over the years, countless young and talented martial artists have been killed by this Nine-Headed Society. The Dragon King War God has thus conceived the idea of rebuilding the Dragon Group.”

”He wishes to recruit outstanding martial artists under thirty from across the country into the Dragon Group, leveraging the full strength of the War Department to forge an elite force capable of contending with the Nine-Headed Society in the future...”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong roughly understood their intentions.

”So, you want to recruit me into the Dragon Group? To become a member of it?” Lin Dong asked.

”No, not merely a member. We are preparing to invite Mr. Lin Dong to become the leader of the Dragon Group!”

Hearing this, even Lin Dong was somewhat surprised.

The Dragon Group of the War Department could be called the trump card of the War Department.

The Northern and Southern Kings both emerged from the War Department Dragon Group.

And they were only two ordinary members of the group, yet today, they have become War Kings who guard a province.

What heights then could the leader of the Dragon Group aspire to in the future?

The Dragon King War God was once the leader of the Dragon Group.

Were they preparing to groom Lin Dong as the successor to the War Department’s future Dragon King War God?

”What do you think, Mr. Lin Dong? Are you now willing to join the War Department?” the Northern King asked with a smile.

Southern King Wang Xiaojiu also looked forward with great anticipation. If Lin Dong agreed to join, then their Jiangnan Province might produce someone like the Dragon King War God in the future.

The two had been ordered by the Dragon King War God himself, and this visit was to gauge Lin Dong’s inclinations.

If Lin Dong agreed, they would soon take him directly to the Capital City to meet the Dragon King War God.

However, after considering for a while, Lin Dong still shook his head.

”Gentlemen, I cannot accept this offer. The War Department should look for someone else.”

Lin Dong pondered for a moment, but ultimately still said no.

The reason remained the same: Lin Dong’s primary concern was still cultivation.

Seeing Lin Dong actually refuse, the Southern King and Northern King couldn’t help exchanging glances.

The Northern King wanted to say more, but was stopped by the Southern King.

Wang Xiaojiu had interacted with Lin Dong numerous times and knew that Lin Dong’s decisions were not easily swayed.

And the more you pestered him, the more he might resist.

”Mr. Lin Dong, don’t rush to decline. You might want to give it some thought first; there’s no hurry.”

”Maybe you’ll change your mind in the future.”

Lin Dong nodded, not completely closing off the possibility.

After all, no one could be certain about the future.

”Southern King, Northern King, is there anything else? If not, I will take my leave now.”

Lin Dong got up, cupped his hands in farewell, and left the private room.

Watching Lin Dong exit, Southern King Wang Xiaojiu and Northern King Murong Qing Yun couldn’t help but look at each other.

Northern King Murong Qing Yun sighed,

”Mr. Lin Dong is truly full of surprises. He could even refuse the position of leader of the Dragon Group.”

Southern King Wang Xiaojiu said, ”He has the confidence to do so!”

”Now we must report this to the Dragon King War God promptly,” Northern King Murong Qing Yun said, making a call.

After the call was connected, the two conveyed Lin Dong’s stance to the person on the other end.

That person first murmured,

”Truly the son of that man. Well, when the time is right, I myself will go find him!”
