Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 1568 - 1667: Negligible
Previously on Overbearing Immortal Doctor...
High above the sky, Qin Feng lowered his head to look at the nervous Tuoba Clan experts below and sneered, "Tuoba Qianwei isn’t here?"
"Cut the crap!" Lei Hong’s Saints shouted as they drank, "Disciples of the Tuoba Clan, obey orders and kill!"
"Hmph!" A cold buzzing sound came from the Beast’s mouth. Bi Fang was on the left, the Golden Dragon Five Claw King on the right, and the three Beasts charged at Shenglei Hong simultaneously. They all realized this man was the strongest. But that was all. In the Tuoba Family today, besides Shenglei Hong, the other Holy Lands were practically nothing. As for the lower Holy Lands, it was even worse. Little Jade Sea Palace could be ignored.
"Come!" Shenglei Hong roared, brandishing a great saber. A blinding light flashed along the blade. Shenglei Hong’s power reached its Peak, his speed hit its limit, his whole body unpredictable. The attacks from Mystic Light Taoist Temple, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon King, and the other two Holy Lands’ spirit beasts were not blocked by Shenglei Hong, but he easily dodged them. They simply couldn’t get close.
Even at the instant when the three Holy Lands and their three beasts disappeared, Shenglei Hong could still counter effectively. His speed far surpassed that of the three giant beasts. The three giant beasts hadn’t expected a human’s attack speed to be this fast and were almost all badly hurt. The Five-Transformation Golden Dragon King on the left even had its front leg sliced by Shenglei Hong.
Amid the various roars, the three Beasts almost simultaneously transformed into their own enormous true bodies. They rose up to fight Shenglei Hong. Yet even so, Lei Hong, a Saint, one against three, was not defeated by three beasts of the same Level.
He bore an outside surname, yet could command the entire Tuoba Clan when Tuoba Qiann was absent, and make the so-called "Second Master" Tuoba Cup and "Seventh Master" Tuoba Li both submit. Lei Hongsheng relied not only on his status as Grandmaster under Tuoba Qiann, but also on his own strength. He was called humanity’s third greatest master. He might even be stronger than the Sky Beast King!
Hongjiang City was a small city under Jade Sea Palace’s control; currently unknown to most, but an excellent hiding place. At this moment, Hongjiang City was sheltering many weak-power Imperial Family branches of the Tuoba Clan, including Tuoba Long.
"Stop, Master Tuoba Long is in seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb him." In a secret chamber of the Royal Mansion, four guards blocked the returning Disciple.
Seeing this Disciple from the Huaiyuan Region, who had just completed an alchemy, he spoke in a low voice, "Ancestor is refining pills, Tuoba Long must go to Jade Sea Palace at once and not delay even a moment."
"Yes!" At the sight of Jin Ling, the four bodyguards swiftly knelt, and one of them directly activated the mechanism. As the heavy Stone Gate was opened, the Tuoba Long inside the tightly sealed chamber was also awakened. A closed meditation chamber was the place where disturbance was most forbidden, especially at a critical moment of breakthrough. Tuoba Long was waiting for his fire to ignite when he suddenly saw the Jin Ling in the Disciple’s hands. Seeing Jin Ling was like seeing Tuoba Qianwei himself, so Tuoba Long could only kneel. Of course, Tuoba Long also knew that today the Gold order was in Shenglei Hong’s hands. He didn’t dare defy Shenglei Hong’s command.
"Saint Lei Hong orders Tuobo Long to head to Jade Sea Palace immediately. You must arrive within half a day."
"Too urgent!" Tuoba Long was greatly shocked. He felt something big was about to happen. These past few days, Tuoba Long had turned Lei Hong’s Saints over in his mind. Besides that, he’d long been deeply favored by Tuoba Qianwei the Grandmaster. He possessed eight innate Holy Lights. Once, he’d been personally guided by Lei Hong’s Saints. He hoped that in the future he could hold up the banner of the Tuoba Sect and restore it. Within the Tuoba Family, Tuoba Long was a mix of Wind and Water. Normally, as long as he went into shutdown cultivation, no matter what happened, Shenglei Hong and Tuoba Qianwei would wait for him to finish, never disturbing him. What was going on today?
Suspicion surged in Tuoba Long’s heart; immediately he felt something was off.
"Do you know what the Saints want from me?" Tuoba Long immediately asked cautiously, politely.
That Disciple had only just returned to the Yuan Dynasty. Now, Tuoba Lang was the best candidate to be future Clan Leader of the Tuoba Clan. Seeing Tuoba La so courteous, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord Long, I don’t dare talk about Clan matters. You and I both know. Lord Saint Lei Hong ordered his men to escort you there within a day. There’s not much time left. Let’s hurry."
Clearly, the one returning to the Yuan Dynasty was no fool. Knowing Qin Feng was going to confront Tuoba Long, it was best not to talk too much.
However, this scene only made Tuoba Longyan even more suspicious.
"How did Star Heaven Sect know where we were hiding?" Tuoba Long suddenly asked.
"My subordinates don’t know. It must have been someone from Jade Sea Palace informing them!" The Disciple instantly grew indignant, but his expression quickly changed a bit. He seemed to realize what he’d just said, and then gave an awkward laugh, "Don’t worry, Young Master Long. Star Heaven Sect didn’t kill them all, so you probably have nothing to worry about regarding your past deeds."
"Not all of them?" Hearing this, Tuoba Long’s body trembled, and his face changed.
If they didn’t kill them, they had to let them speak. Was it to expose the conspiracy he’d been Manufacturing and negotiating? With a so-called guilty conscience, Tuoba Long suddenly thought of this, and the more he thought, the more likely it seemed. If that was really the case, then his death was almost certain. Tuoba Long didn’t want to take that risk. He didn’t want to die. He wanted to become Clan Leader of the Tuoba Clan.
Suddenly, Tuoba Long cut off his thoughts, but when he saw the Disciple and the four bodyguards, they were all staring at him. Just now his expression had shifted greatly, leaving everyone stunned.
"Hmph, Qin Feng is a sly bastard. I’ll see what tricks he thinks he can play. Let’s go!"
The five disciples of Tuoba saw Tuoba brimming with righteous indignation and all grew excited. After all, Qin Feng was a great enemy. Tuoba Long was a high-ranking Clan leader, the Clan Leader’s Sunx. Psychologically, these people were inclined toward Tuoba Long, hoping Tuoba Long would be the righteous side. Now that Tuoba Long was so impassioned, they naturally stood with him.
"Alright, Lord Long, I’ll have to trouble you." The messenger bowed and opened the way.
"Go!" Tuoba Long flicked his sleeve and flew straight out.
It was thousands of miles from Hongjiang City. At this speed, he could reach Jade Sea Palace within half a day. At this moment, Tuoba Long turned around and slowed his pace. "I’m a bit lost. Where exactly are we going now?"
"Lord, just keep flying in this—"
Before the Disciple could finish, Tuoba Long had already moved to his side. Suddenly, Tuoba Long’s claws flickered like a Shadow, and he clamped down on the man’s throat.
"Lo—" The Disciple cried out in terror, but no sound came out.
"Hmph!" Tuoba Long snorted coldly. He didn’t waste words. He struck directly.
"Qing Xiao, you still want to argue?" Suddenly, Shenglei Hong pointed at the sealed Saint Qing Xiao and roared in fury.
Qing Xiao Saint’s face went deathly pale. He knew that once Tuoba Long escaped, he had already admitted to everything he’d done. Further arguing was useless.
"Ptui!"
Qing Xiao Saint suddenly knelt before Lei Hong Saint, and Tuoba Li shouted, "Saint, Seventh Master, it was all done by Tuoba Long. He’s the one who killed Young Master Qing Heng, he’s the one who killed Dan Shen Saint. It really has nothing to do with me!"
"Bastard!" Tuoba Da Fa exploded in fury and suddenly slapped his palm down onto Qing Xiao Saint’s crown. He directly killed his body and spirit together.
"Nothing to do with you? The two of you must have colluded. Ptui!" Tuoba Li spat fiercely. He had originally supported Tuoba Qingheng as the next Clan Leader and had a terrible relationship with Tuoba Long. Now that Tuoba Long had killed Tuoba Qingheng, he was furious.
