Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Upon seeing Elder Xingtian in this state, Xu Wendong understood that he could no longer continue making things difficult.

He smiled as he stepped forward, reaching out to support Elder Xingtian, his eyes shining with cleverness.

Xu Wendong knew well that Elder Xingtian was like a serpent lurking in the shadows, appearing meek on the surface but capable of striking at any moment; he must not be easily trusted.

”Since Elder Xingtian has such intentions, I can rest easy,” Xu Wendong said calmly, his tone carrying a touch of appropriate care: ”All I’ve done is for the good of the Heavenly Nether Sect, and everyone should advance hand in hand.”

As he spoke, he remained inwardly vigilant.

In playing this game of feigned civility with Elder Xingtian, Xu Wendong felt confident in his own abilities; Elder Xingtian’s scheming against him wasn’t sufficient yet.

”Since there’s an outcome, let this matter be laid to rest,” Elder Xuanlu said, seeing the atmosphere relax somewhat, stepping forward at the right moment, his posture straight, showcasing the authority of the Eight Great Elders.

His gaze swept over everyone, his voice steady and powerful: ”Investigate all disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect thoroughly, and anyone who dares betray the sect will be severely punished!”

Meanwhile.

The voice of the Sect Master echoed like a resounding bell once again: ”Jiayin, bring Lin Mo to see me.”

As soon as these words fell, the Sect Master’s voice gradually dissipated, and the heavy mountain weighing upon everyone’s hearts disappeared along with it.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, their eyes filled with envy, all turning towards Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong certainly had incomparable luck; upon entering the sect, he immediately joined the Sect Master Peak.

Though there were currently only two disciples at the Sect Master Peak, each was exceptionally strong, not to mention the senior sister Li Jiayin; Xu Wendong was truly occupying all the advantageous positions.

”Let’s go, my father has summoned us; we must not delay,” Li Jiayin said urgently to Xu Wendong, a hint of anxiety on her face.

Having said that, she grabbed Xu Wendong’s arm and hurriedly headed toward the Sect Master Peak.

This scene caused everyone present to stare in amazement, filled with astonishment.

Being personally called by Li Jiayin, it truly was unbelievable.

Rumor had it that Li Jiayin was famously known as the Iceberg Beauty, usually aloof and indifferent to others, but now being so intimate with Xu Wendong shocked everyone.

Zhao Ying’er stood aside, her face full of reluctance.

Her gaze tightly followed Xu Wendong’s back, her heart a tangle of mixed feelings.

Nevertheless, the Sect Master’s summons was of paramount importance; no one could hinder it.

She could only watch helplessly as Xu Wendong left, her eyes showing a trace of loneliness.

After Xu Wendong left, Elder Xingtian’s eyes burned with obvious hatred like a raging fire.

He snorted coldly, his voice full of venom, then whispered instructions to the disciple beside him: ”Go find Zong De for me, there’s something I need him to do.”

His eyes flashed with malicious gleam, seemingly plotting a frightening scheme.

...

Returning to the Sect Master Peak, Xu Wendong followed Li Jiayin straight toward the Sect Master’s Hall.

On this mountain peak, every building exuded an ancient charm, traces of time clearly visible on the bricks and wooden beams.

Only the Sect Master’s Hall stood imposing, appearing exceptionally magnificent and mysterious like an insurmountable sanctuary.

And there, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Nether Sect was seated within the hall.

Xu Wendong stepped into the hall to see a middle-aged man sitting high upon a dais.

The man’s face was thin, looking sickly, with a pallid hue that seemed shrouded in a layer of gloom.

”Father, what’s wrong?” Li Jiayin exclaimed upon seeing the man’s appearance, her heart filled with worry, her face pale as a startled deer, rushing up in a trembling voice.

”It’s nothing, my seclusion was to capture the third ghost, but unfortunately, it didn’t succeed and cost much soul power.” The middle-aged man smiled wanly, a smile tinged with helplessness and fatigue, forcing himself to raise a hand to indicate he was alright.

Seeing this, Xu Wendong also stepped forward, respectfully saying, ”Greetings, Master.”

This person before him was Li Lingtian, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Nether Sect.

His cultivation level had reached the Second Level of Ghost Control Realm!

Within the cultivation system of the Netherworld, Ghost Control Realm was an evolved realm above Tongyou Realm.

To reach this realm, the first challenge was capturing ghosts.

So-called ghost capturing was indeed catching souls from the Netherworld for one’s own use.

The stronger the captured soul, the more advantages within the same realm.

Moreover, possessing ghost souls allowed manipulation for reconnaissance, battle, and even merging into oneself, significantly boosting one’s combat power.

The Ghost Control Realm had nine levels, with each level requiring capture of one ghost.

Li Lingtian was already at the Second Level of Ghost Control Realm; he’d captured two ghost souls, and his recent seclusion was actually for capturing and refining the third ghost.

But unfortunately, an unexpected situation arose mid-way, causing severe injury.

”Are you Lin Mo?” Li Lingtian raised his head slightly, his gaze resting upon Xu Wendong, eyes with a hint of scrutiny.

”Hmm, quite impressive, I saw how you handled things earlier; very capable, the Heavenly Nether Sect hasn’t had someone so capable for a long time.”

Li Lingtian nodded slightly, a hint of approval showing on his face: ”When you head to the Nether Ruins, you might accomplish something.”

Though his voice was weak, every word conveyed his recognition of Xu Wendong.

”I should reward you, but now that I’m injured and need more seclusion, you’ll have to patiently wait for my return,” Li Lingtian said regretfully.

Originally, he wanted to reward Xu Wendong well to acknowledge his achievements, but given his current frailty, he desired recovery first before extending any token of appreciation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong stepped forward, reaching to grasp Li Lingtian’s wrist.

His actions were decisive and firm, as if he had already planned this.

”What are you doing?” Li Jiayin was startled by this, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of surprise.

She didn’t understand why Xu Wendong suddenly acted this way, her mind full of confusion.

”Senior sister, I am somewhat aware of Master’s injuries and can indeed treat them,” Xu Wendong said, a faint smile appeared on his face, his gaze steady and confident.

He held a high level of proficiency in the medical arts, possessing acute insight into ailments.

Moreover.

The people of the Netherworld and those of the mortal world had no significant physiological differences; he recognized Li Lingtian’s symptoms at once!
