Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2165: Chapter 2164: Luring Him Out

Watching King Kunlun self-immolate, Lin Sumei ground his teeth in anger.

This King Kunlun was determined to leave him with a ’trap’ even in death.

If Lin Sumei could personally slay King Kunlun today, the hidden heart demon of being ’defeated’ by a ten-stage Grandmaster would be completely severed.

But King Kunlun didn’t give him that opportunity and directly burned himself to death.

”A remarkable person indeed, reaching the level of a ten-stage Grandmaster with such difficulty, then choosing self-immolation so decisively, fearless of death; he deserves admiration.”

The Qin Family Patriarch retracted ’the Law of Heaven and Earth’ at this time and spoke slowly.

The longer one cultivates in the Martial Way, the more reluctant they are to die.

Because walking the path of martial arts is indeed arduous.

Having defied the heavens to extend life by hundreds or even thousands of years, who would easily desire death?

After dying, there’s nothing left!

It’s like those tycoons; after becoming wealthy, who would want to become poor again?

And those in power, once they reach that position, they are unwilling to step down.

The same applies even more to martial artists.

Even though Heavenly Realm martial artists are powerful, who among them is not afraid of death?

In fact, some Heavenly Realm martial artists might fear death even more than ordinary people. Having gained so much, they naturally loath to give up everything they now possess.

Lin Sumei bit his teeth once more and then said to the Qin Family Patriarch and Tang Ku:

”Just now, I entered King Kunlun’s Celestial Forbidden Formless Domain and confirmed that matter.”

”That’s the fact that Lin Zhantian and that woman’s son didn’t die. The battle with King Kunlun was indeed a play they performed.”

”I wondered why such a calm person as King Kunlun showed so much enthusiasm in agreeing to duel with Master Lin. It turns out it wasn’t to kill him, but to protect him.”

Hearing this, the Qin Family Patriarch said: ”Now that he has faked his death and hidden away, who can find him?”

Lin Sumei said, ”This is my greatest internal worry; I absolutely can’t let him hide away and cultivate in peace. Otherwise, in no more than fifty years, disaster will surely befall me and the Lin family.”

”Oh? Does Brother Lin believe that the son of Lin Zhantian could surpass you in just fifty years?” Tang Ku asked.

This is the Age of Dharma End; is there really someone who can enter the Heavenly Realm in fifty years and reach a realm beyond the Second Heaven, Lin Sumei’s realm?

Lin Sumei asserted: ”Perhaps he won’t even need fifty years. You must know, he reached the ninth-stage Grandmaster level at just twenty-one.”

”Such cultivation speed is unheard of. Even in ancient times, such a figure would dominate an era.”

”An existence like this, even in the Age of Dharma End, in my opinion, is bound to step into the Heavenly Realm.”

”To surpass me might not even take fifty years; thirty years would be enough.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Ku said, ”Brother Lin actually fears the son of Lin Zhantian so much?”

”It’s not fear but rather preparedness. Three hundred years ago, there were a few whose martial talents surpassed mine, Lin Sumei. But in the end, I was the first Tianjiao three hundred years ago, dominating that era.”

”Do you know why this is? It’s precisely because of my caution and prudence.”

”In my view, only those who live to the end truly know the king’s way. Otherwise, no matter how great your talent is, if you perish early, what would be the meaning in that?”

”Like Lin Zhantian, like King Kunlun, and like that woman... whose talents aren’t higher than mine? But what meaning do they have? Now, standing atop the world’s pyramid, it is still us,” Lin Sumei said softly.

This is his consistent approach.

Even if a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength.

The first principle he cultivates is to live first!

Just as driving safety comes first.

Some martial artists, relying on their high cultivation talent, become quite arrogant after achieving some success, and look down on others.

Lin Sumei has seen too many such examples. He himself will never become such a person.

”It seems you already have a way to force him out? And a plan to deal with him?” the Qin Family Patriarch asked.

Lin Sumei nodded: ”To force Lin Zhantian’s son to show himself is quite simple.”

”He is, like Lin Zhantian, deeply emotional. Back then, we used this very fact to force Lin Zhantian and his wife to come forward, setting up a plot to besiege them with the top ten Heavenly Boundary Martial Artists.”

”This time, I intend to repeat the trick, still exploiting his son’s deep emotions.”

Upon hearing this, the Qin Family Patriarch had already guessed.

He asked: ”Do you mean to target Lin Dong’s women?”

Lin Sumei nodded, ”I will have Tian Ce capture Lin Dong’s women and release the news; Lin Dong he will certainly come!”

”If he dares to appear, the net of heaven and earth waits for him!”

The Qin Family Patriarch nodded, ”I won’t interfere in this matter. I must return to the clan to act as protector for Qin Feng’s breakthrough to Heavenly Realm Martial Artist!”

In his eyes, that Lin Dong, a few months ago, was merely at the ninth-stage Grandmaster level.

A few months have passed, at most, he could only have been at the peak of the ninth-stage Grandmaster. To deal with a peak level ninth-stage Grandmaster, having Lin Sumei, such a Second Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artist presiding is sufficient.

He, a dignified Triple-Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, naturally had no interest in such Earth Realm Martial Artist juniors.

Tang Ku shared his thoughts and also said, ”I won’t meddle in the latter matters. If he is just a peak ninth-stage Grandmaster, it would already violate the ’Heavenly Oath’ for a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist to attack him.”

”If several Heavenly Realm Martial Artists jointly acted against him, the matter would be too ludicrous. Even if the Heavenly Realm Alliance dared not offend us major Hidden Clans, they would have to sanction us.”

Lin Sumei nodded. When dealing with King Kunlun, he had invited the two of them because King Kunlun was a ten-stage Grandmaster Martial Artist.

In dealing with such a ’Reverse Sky Person’, one need not heed the ’Heavenly Oath’. Because Reverse Sky Persons inherently stand outside the Heavenly Oath.

But dealing with Lin Dong, that junior, was different.

If the actions are too excessive, like now, uniting several Heavenly Realm Martial Artists against him, if the Heavenly Realm Alliance learns of it, even with Kunlun backing him, or Tang Ku backing them, and the Qin Family Patriarch being a Triple-Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, they would all be sanctioned.

Of course, they are not afraid of sanctions. So-called sanctions couldn’t possibly force them to trade life for life.

But if sanctioned, spreading the word would not be good for their reputation, and could affect their future martial arts cultivation.

Such reactions from the Qin Family Patriarch and Tang Ku were naturally within Lin Sumei’s expectations.

He had long anticipated that the two wouldn’t involve themselves in subsequent matters.

”For this matter, I am enough!”

”I couldn’t kill Lin Zhantian, but can’t I kill his son?”

Even for a cautious person like him, it wouldn’t really scare him to face a twenty-one-year-old Earth Realm Martial Artist.

He only feared his future potential; he did not fear him now.

As a dignified Second Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, if he did not dare to face a twenty-one-year-old Earth Realm Martial Artist, wouldn’t that make his centuries of cultivation end up on a dog’s body?
