Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2831 - 2830: Beware of the Blood Clan

"And now, he is definitely setting his sights on you. So, you need to be exceptionally careful," the White-clothed Blood Monk advised Lin Dong once more.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong gave a nod of acknowledgment.

"What exactly are those Blood Servants you mentioned earlier?" Lin Dong inquired again, his curiosity piqued.

"Blood Servants are the seven retainers of Young Master Xue! They are Xue Chen, Blood Slave, Xue Ai, Xue Bei, Xue Hen, Xue Chou, and Xue Qing."

"Xue Chen was the one you eliminated previously. And he was merely the weakest among the seven Blood Servants of the Blood Clan's Young Master."

"This time, I've received intelligence that one of these seven Blood Servants has also infiltrated the Five Elements Land. Just as you, Little Friend Lin Dong, might encounter them, I felt compelled to warn you. Exercise extreme caution."

"Thank you for your kind reminder, Senior." Lin Dong swiftly performed a Buddhist gesture, conveying his gratitude.

"Let's be seated and continue our discussion..."

The White-clothed Blood Monk extended an inviting gesture.

Shortly thereafter, Lin Dong took a seat, facing the mysterious and enigmatic White-clothed Blood Monk.

A subtle barrier enveloped the two of them, seemingly isolating them from the outside world's disturbances.

A cascade of seven-colored Buddha's light intermittently fell upon them, bestowing a touch of transcendence upon their conversation.

The gaze of the White-clothed Blood Monk was profound and intricate, as if he could perceive the deepest secrets residing within the human heart.

He spoke deliberately, his voice low and resonant: "Lin Dong, the primary reason I felt it imperative to caution you is that the individuals of the Blood Clan are cunning and merciless, and they adhere to no rules whatsoever."

"And they possess absolutely no sense of boundaries."

"The might of the Blood Clan vastly surpasses your comprehension."

As he reached this juncture, an almost imperceptible trace of unease threaded through the White-clothed Blood Monk's tone, "Especially the seven Blood Servants beneath the Blood Clan's Young Master. Each of them has endured innumerable slaughters and trials; their strength is terrifyingly formidable, but they possess another peculiar characteristic..."

"It is precisely this distinct trait that renders them so exceedingly difficult to counter."

Lin Dong's heart plummeted, acutely aware that the Five Elements Land held a particularly unique significance, which was precisely why the War Departments of various nations had designated it as the venue for the War Department Competition.

Moreover, with the legendary Origin Power reputedly flowing within this land, it attracted countless martial artists in pursuit of opportunities, transforming it into a clandestine arena for various powerful factions to vie for supremacy.

Now, with the Blood Clan's Blood Servants lurking amidst them, the land had undoubtedly transformed into an even more perilous domain.

"Blood Servants... what precisely is their peculiar characteristic?" Lin Dong managed to suppress his burgeoning curiosity and inquire.

In his previous encounter with Xue Chen, although he had succeeded in defeating him, Xue Chen was merely the weakest among the seven Blood Servants.

Furthermore, it was entirely possible that Xue Chen had not revealed the special ability the White-clothed Blood Monk was currently alluding to.

Surely, upon mentioning this special trait, even the White-clothed Blood Monk's expression turned unusually grave:

"The reason Blood Servants inspire such dread stems not only from their unfathomable cultivation levels but also from their possession of certain terrifying special abilities. One such ability is known as 'Blood Clan Possession.'"

"This is an exceptionally malevolent and profound secret technique, which only those who have surpassed the realm of a Four-star Blood Emperor can master."

"They can wield this Blood Clan Possession to seize and assume control over the bodies of human martial artists, thereby perfectly assuming their guise and infiltrating their ranks."

"Possession..." Lin Dong softly echoed the word, a chilling sensation coursing down his spine, "Doesn't this imply that such a peril might very well be concealed amongst us?"

"Indeed." The White-clothed Blood Monk concurred with a nod, his tone laced with a palpable sense of helplessness, "Once they successfully achieve possession, they can move about freely under the guise of human martial artists, potentially even lurking in close proximity to those dear to you, all without your awareness. At a critical juncture, they could launch a fatal strike, catching you completely unprepared."

Lin Dong drew a deep breath, endeavoring to quell the tumultuous emotions within his heart.

This 'possession' was indeed a terrifying prospect, even for him.

He harbored no fear of confronting adversaries head-on; his true apprehension lay in the possibility that they might possess someone close to him.

In such a scenario, if that individual were to 'betray' him, what a catastrophic tragedy that would be?

He recognized that confronting such an enemy would demand more than mere courage and strength; wisdom and unwavering vigilance would be equally indispensable.

"Thank you for this warning, Senior. I shall exercise the utmost caution." Lin Dong pledged solemnly, his eyes alight with a resolute gleam, "Regardless of the Blood Clan's designs, I, Lin Dong, will give my absolute all."

Lin Dong received a look from the White-clothed Blood Monk, a barely perceptible admiration flashing in his eyes. "Good, possessing such determination sets you apart from many."

"Remember, even when the Blood Clan employs possession, occupying another's body will reveal certain weaknesses."

"If you can get close enough, the blood aura they emit will invariably betray them. With your keen perception as a Mental Power Monk, you should be able to detect it..."

Lin Dong nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Thank you again, Senior, for your guidance."

"No need for such formality." The White-clothed Blood Monk waved his hand. "For years, I have been in opposition to the Blood Clan. My vow was that unless the Blood Clan is exterminated, I refuse to attain Buddhahood!"

"The reason I am imparting this knowledge to you is that I do not wish to see a burgeoning talent like yourself fall victim to the Blood Clan..."

"Indeed, if even you were to perish at their hands, it would be a grave loss for us, the cultivators of the human path."

"Very well, I must depart. One final piece of advice: be wary of those near you... in the past, it was we who..."

He abruptly fell silent as he reached this point.

Then, with a flicker of his figure, the White-clothed Blood Monk transformed into a stream of blood-red light and vanished from the scene, leaving Lin Dong standing alone.

Once the White-clothed Blood Monk disappeared, the Pusuo World before Lin Dong dissolved entirely into mist and dissipated.

Lin Dong found himself returned to reality, within the dense forest.

However, the White-clothed Blood Monk was nowhere to be seen, and only War God Hei Long, who stood beside him, appeared bewildered.

"War God Lin, what transpired? Where did Senior White-clothed Blood Monk go?" War God Hei Long had no recollection of the recent events.

In the blink of an eye, the White-clothed Blood Monk he was just conversing with had vanished.

Lin Dong, too, was astonished once more; the Pusuo World wielded by the White-clothed Blood Monk was truly extraordinary.

He had engaged in a lengthy conversation with the White-clothed Blood Monk within that Pusuo World, yet in the real world, merely a second had elapsed.

"His Pusuo World is incredibly profound. There must be other methods involved; if one were his enemy and drawn into that Pusuo World, how could they ever escape?" Lin Dong couldn't help but ponder.

Truthfully, at that moment, he could not conceive of any method of escape.

Because that technique was not an illusion, Lin Dong's 'Eye of Insight,' or even the Limitless Illusion Realm, were incapable of breaking through it.

Only with the pure power of 'Sword Two' might he stand a chance. As for the outcome, even Lin Dong himself was uncertain...
