Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 3160: Chapter 3159: Another Probe

Lin Dong stood in front of Fengtian, momentarily taken aback by her earlier words.

Then he feigned a ”pitiful” look, with his eyes slightly red and his voice trembling, saying: ”Lord Fengtian, are you really leaving again? Boo-hoo, I don’t want to be separated from you.”

That look seemed as if he was about to burst into tears any second.

On the surface, he appeared deeply saddened, but inside, he was already grinning widely.

This Fire Domain Heaven, although riddled with dangers, was a rare place of training and opportunity for him. With Fengtian around, he couldn’t fully unleash his potential.

Just now, he had the opportunity to attain enlightenment in the fourth level of the Fire Sword Intent, but with Fengtian present, he feared exposing his identity, so he refrained.

He could only postpone the enlightenment for later.

And now, hearing that Fengtian was leaving, departing from this Fire Domain Heaven.

Wouldn’t that mean he could upgrade alone once more?

Fengtian stood there with a commanding presence, her white robe shimmering softly against the flames, like an immortal descending to the mortal world.

She nodded slightly and said with determination, ”Although this Fire Domain Heaven holds many opportunities for me as well, the most important thing right now is to rescue the Blood Ancestor. So I cannot linger here any longer, but must continue upwards.”

A trace of cunning flashed in Lin Dong’s eyes, and he then said, feigning grievance, ”Ah, is that so? Won’t Lord Fengtian take me along?”

Fengtian lightly shook her head, her voice tinged with concern, ”The upper layers are too dangerous. Even I can’t protect you. Your strength is still too weak.”

Hearing this, Lin Dong was secretly delighted again.

Yet his face continued to show a pitiful expression, asking once more, ”But Lord Fengtian, if you leave me with the Young Master, and if he wants to kill me again, I would be doomed.”

Hearing these words, Fengtian slowly turned, her eyes sharply fixating on the Blood Clan Young Master.

The Blood Clan Young Master was originally glaring at Lin Dong with a menacing expression, filled with resentment.

He had planned to torment Lin Dong as revenge while Fengtian was gone for the previous humiliations.

But when Fengtian’s piercing gaze swept over him, he was startled and quickly composed his expression.

Fengtian spoke in a deep voice, ”I will take him up further into the Nine-layered Heaven Tower.”

Hearing this, the Blood Clan Young Master secretly regretted, muttering to himself, ”There’s no chance to be alone with Lin Dong now, otherwise, I’d surely kill him.”

A trace of malice flashed in his eyes as he suddenly transmitted to Lin Dong, ”Peach, consider yourself lucky!”

Lin Dong heard the transmission and coldly chuckled inwardly, ”You should consider yourself lucky. If Fengtian hadn’t taken you, I would’ve already slaughtered you here in the Fire Domain Heaven.”

Outwardly though, he pretended to be terrified and looked at Fengtian again, saying, ”Lord Fengtian, the Young Master just sent me a message, saying I’m lucky.”

Fengtian frowned, sweeping her gaze back and forth between the Blood Clan Young Master and Lin Dong, as if she sensed something, but said nothing.

She waved her hand, and a brilliant light shot out from her fingertips, weaving a complex prohibition in the air, shrouding Lin Dong within.

”Alright, I’ve set up a prohibition for you here. Stay put. As long as you don’t move around recklessly, there won’t be any danger in this Fire Domain Heaven. Just await your opportunity,” Fengtian said calmly.

”When the time is right, a passageway to the Outer World will appear in the Nine-layered Heaven Tower. Then, you can directly exit through that passage, and we’ll meet at the Five Elements Stele.”

Lin Dong was secretly calculating, but his face feigned gratitude as he nodded, ”Understood, Lord Fengtian. You can leave without worry.”

Fengtian gave Lin Dong a deep look, then turned to the Blood Clan Young Master, saying, ”Let’s go.”

The Blood Clan Young Master glared viciously at Lin Dong, snorted coldly, and followed behind Fengtian, heading higher up the Nine-layered Heaven Tower.

As Fengtian and the Blood Clan Young Master’s figures disappeared into the flames, the pitiful expression vanished from Lin Dong’s face, replaced by a touch of confidence and cunning.

He looked at the surrounding blazing flames, the corners of his mouth slightly rising, and thought to himself, ”This Fire Domain Heaven, let’s see what surprises it can bring me.”

He began to move slowly within the prohibition, carefully observing the environment around him.

The temperature of the flames rose higher and higher, but to him, it seemed like nourishment.

He operated the ’Phoenix Nirvana Technique’ within him, creating a miraculous resonance with the surrounding flames, as if he was merging with this Fire Domain Heaven.

Of course, now he wasn’t immediately leaving the prohibition set by Fengtian. He was waiting. Waiting for Fengtian to leave this Fire Domain Heaven before stepping out of it.

Lin Dong’s mental power could sense that while Fengtian and the Blood Clan Young Master had left his sight, they hadn’t gone far.

In fact, Fengtian and the Blood Clan Young Master hadn’t gone far. They stopped after flying about ten kilometers away.

The Blood Clan Young Master hurriedly said, ”Aunt, do you also suspect that this Peach has issues?”

Fengtian remained silent, sensing the situation over at Lin Dong’s place.

Fortunately, Lin Dong’s guard was high, and he didn’t leave the prohibition she set up, nor did he immediately try to attain enlightenment in the fourth level of the ’Fire Sword Intent’; instead, he remained there, using the ’Phoenix Nirvana Technique’.

It appeared as if he was refining his body.

At this distance, the Blood Clan Young Master couldn’t perceive what Lin Dong was specifically doing; only Fengtian could.

At this point, he asked again, ”Aunt, did that Peach expose any flaws? I strongly suspect there’s something wrong with her, she might have already relied on the Human Clan. Perhaps even concealed her strength.”

Hearing his words, Fengtian snorted coldly, ”If she’d concealed her strength, would I not know?”

The Blood Clan Young Master found her reasoning sensible and changed his tune, ”Even if she didn’t conceal her strength, she might have still relied on the Human Clan. Aunt, think about it. The few times we were with her, it wasn’t long before Yun Che showed up.”

”Perhaps she was secretly informing them. And regarding Xue Ai, I suspect that it happened when she was with her, sending information to Yun Che or the Holy Light Lord to go and slaughter him.”

”For her to survive so long, it’s not just because of pure luck, but because she’s colluding with the Human Clan. With Yun Che and the Holy Light Lord’s protection, she’s able to stay alive...”

The Blood Clan Young Master’s remarks made Fengtian frown slightly.

She evidently had some suspicions about Lin Dong as well. After all, does she really have such good fortune? In such a perilous place, how did nothing happen to her at all?

Moreover, the positions where she appeared were somewhat peculiar.

”I will quietly observe her for an hour here. If she truly has colluded with the Human Clan, she will certainly notify them next, letting them know we’ve headed up the upper layers of the Nine-layered Heaven Tower. And as long as I remain hidden, I can uncover everything,” Fengtian said slowly.

The Blood Clan Young Master’s eyes lit up, and he quickly responded, ”Aunt, your insight is admirable! This time, let’s see how that Peach can hide.”
