Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2978: Chapter 2977: Turmoil on All Sides

Ye Linglong was surprised to discover that after Lin Dong used the Change the Aspect of Heaven Technique on her, she had completely changed.

She looked much younger, seemingly like a girl in her teens.

Even her height had shrunk a bit.

”Lin Dong, your Easy Change Technique is truly amazing, isn’t it?” She exclaimed in surprise after glancing in the mirror.

”This isn’t an Easy Change Technique.” Lin Dong shook his head and explained, ”This is a Treasure Technique. Its value surpasses even Ancient Martial Arts, not something mere Easy Change Technique can compare to.”

”I see.” Ye Linglong’s eyes sparkled as she suddenly asked, ”So, can you alter appearances at will? Can you also change me at will?”

”Of course.” Lin Dong nodded.

”Then can you change me into Bai Jue or Qiao Bing?” Ye Linglong suddenly asked.

Lin Dong laughably said, ”Yes.”

”Hehe, that’s amazing. If you like Qiao Bing in the future, you can turn all of us into Qiao Bing, and at night...”

Lin Dong couldn’t help but knock her head gently, then said, ”What on earth are you thinking?”

He shook his head, defeated by her idea.

Ye Linglong, surprisingly, also had such a frivolous moment.

”Let’s go. Let’s hit the road with these faces. Surely no one will pay attention to us along the way.” Lin Dong said.

Ye Linglong nodded and then asked, ”What should I call you on the road? Old fart?”

Lin Dong: ”...”

He spread his hands, saying, ”Call me Grandpa.”

”Lin Dong, you’re taking too much advantage, aren’t you? Letting me call you Grandpa...” Ye Linglong conceded.

”But given our current ages and identities, calling me Grandpa is more fitting,” Lin Dong said.

Currently, he was disguised as Li Zhaixing.

He looked around sixty years old.

As for Ye Linglong at this moment, she appeared like a prepubescent little girl. Considering their age difference, identifying as grandfather and granddaughter was the most logical.

Ye Linglong sighed, nodding, ”Alright, then I’ll call you Grandpa along the way.”

The two then set off from there, heading for the location of the Five Elements Stele.

Even though they had altered their appearances, their pace was not too fast.

They proceeded slowly.

...

On the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, in a hidden place away from the light and noise.

The base of the Dark Family Force was like a massive piece of obsidian, deeply embedded in the earth’s embrace, both hidden and exuding an ominous aura.

This was the territory of the Secondary Ancestor of the Dark Family, the Shadow Monarch, the ruler who commanded countless shadows and power.

The throne was cast from thousand-year-old cold iron, inlaid with unknown dark gemstones, exuding a faint glow reflecting the Shadow Monarch’s cold and profound face.

He wore a black robe, its hem embroidered with intricate runes, each stroke seemingly containing ancient and powerful strength.

At the moment, his eyes were slightly closed, as if conversing with the darkness itself.

”Lin Dong, oh Lin Dong, how am I to eliminate you? I absolutely cannot let you continue growing. Otherwise, you’ll inevitably threaten me.”

Lin Dong, this name was like a sharp thorn embedded in the Shadow Monarch’s heart.

Lin Dong’s potential was so strong that even a Secondary Ancestor like him considered him a major threat.

Merely hearing his name, and recalling him, felt as troublesome as a fish bone stuck in the throat.

The last time, the Shadow Monarch sent top-tier strongmen from the family, second only to the secondary ancestors, to besiege Lin Dong.

He thought victory was assured, yet unexpectedly, Lin Dong, by himself, reversed the situation, slaughtering those strongmen one by one.

”Even the strongest below the secondary ancestors couldn’t eliminate him...”

”It seems only by personally taking action can I completely eradicate this hidden danger.”

The Shadow Monarch mused silently.

But as a Secondary Ancestor, his identity was noble, and casually leaving this estate, or showing his true form out in the open, could disrupt the delicate balance among the major forces on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

Moreover, since the last confrontation, Lin Dong seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace, forcing the Shadow Monarch’s burning desire for revenge to smolder in his heart.

Amid his deep contemplation, a slight but unmistakable atmospheric ripple broke the indoor silence.

A blood-colored Divine Talisman, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, bearing ominous foreboding, flew unerringly towards the Shadow Monarch.

That talisman, with blood flowing as if from the abyss, emitted an unsettling aura.

The Shadow Monarch paused, then casually caught the blood-colored talisman.

His fingers gently caressed the talisman’s surface, feeling the strange energy within.

As he slowly unfolded the talisman, lines of blood-red text appeared before his eyes—secret whispers from the Extraterritorial Blood Clan, brief and direct:

”Shadow Monarch, want to extinguish Lin Dong? If so, you can secretly cooperate with our clan.”

His gaze instantly sharpened, stirred by a surge of complex emotions. Cooperating with the Extraterritorial Blood Clan was undoubtedly akin to playing with fire.

However, the existence of Lin Dong had become an insurmountable risk on his mind.

While hesitating, the talisman continued its message: ”He has already headed to the location of the Five Elements Stele. If you wish to extinguish Lin Dong, hurry to the Five Elements Stele.”

The Five Elements Stele, a legendary sanctum, said to hold the power of the world’s five elements, was a dreamland of practice coveted by countless strongmen, as well as a cradle of countless disputes and legends.

It harbored secrets that even ancestor-level beings couldn’t fully explore.

It ranked every strong person below the secondary ancestors, rewarding them like heaven itself; each reward was something that could make a secondary ancestor envious.

All exceedings of Ancient Martial Arts were treasure techniques!

”So, he intends to go to the Five Elements Stele!” murmured the Shadow Monarch, ”Ah yes, having become the top presence on the Five Elements Stele, he must be headed there to claim rewards.”

”Well then, I’ll lie in wait there, awaiting his arrival.”

”Yet, there’s one problem, do I engage in cooperation with the Extraterritorial Blood Clan or not?”

”The Extraterritorial Blood Clan, cursed by human martial artists, if caught collaborating, I would undoubtedly become a public enemy among human martial artists.”

”No matter, I’ll decide on that depending on the situation...”

The Shadow Monarch muttered to himself, his shadow merging into the darkness, as if becoming one with the night.

”This time, let’s see who will have the last laugh.”

The Shadow Monarch whispered softly, then his form flickered, transforming into a shadow, disappearing from the throne, quietly heading toward the Five Elements Stele’s direction.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Alliance of Heavenly Realm at the Outer Battlefield Base Headquarters also received a message.

Upon learning of the message, it naturally alarmed the entire Alliance of Heavenly Realm.

”Extraterritorial Blood Clan, are they planning to wage war?”
