Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2892 - 2891: Blood Clan’s Grand Plan
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
Tian Sha's expression was extremely grim; Lin Dong's words had struck a raw nerve. Two days had already elapsed, and if his main body had truly intended to arrive, considering the passage of time, he should have been present by now. Yet, he was absent and had even severed contact. This strongly indicated that his main body had effectively abandoned him. The Blood Clan Young Master, his main body, possessed the Three Corpses, and Tian Sha was merely one of them. It was conceivable that his main body was unwilling to risk appearing and leaving himself vulnerable, but this was difficult for Tian Sha to accept. "Damn it..." At this moment, having partially restored his condition through the 'Replenishing Essence Pill,' he was still incapable of breaking free from Lin Dong's restraints. "Lin Dong, my true self will undoubtedly come. You can afford to wait another day..." He still harbored disbelief that his true self had forsaken him, clinging to residual hope. Lin Dong responded, "Very well, let us wait another day." With that statement, he proceeded to refine more Replenishing Essence Pills and administered them to Tian Sha. Tian Sha grew genuinely bewildered. After consuming some of the pills, he inquired, "Lin Dong, what exactly is your intention? What kind of pills are you giving me?" Lin Dong chuckled, replying, "Did I not inform you? I am providing restorative pills to aid in your recovery." "Are you truly this benevolent?" Tian Sha's suspicion intensified. "After all, you are on the verge of death. A bit of recovery before departure is quite customary, is it not?" Lin Dong shrugged. "You are quite a decent person, then." Tian Sha pursed his lips. Lin Dong continued with a laugh, "Furthermore, our Dragon Country adheres to a principle of respecting the deceased. In ancient times, those condemned to execution were given a chicken leg before their end, allowing them a final, satisfying meal. You are no different." "I understand." Upon hearing this, Tian Sha ceased his questioning and readily swallowed the pills. He observed that the more pills he consumed, the more his condition indeed improved, restoring a portion of his blood essence. The greater his recovery, the more assistance he could provide should his true self arrive. At that juncture, he intended to confront Lin Dong alongside his main body. With this thought, he consumed even more, earnestly striving to recuperate his blood essence and strength. Witnessing this, Lin Dong nodded with apparent satisfaction. It was akin to a farmer fattening a pig, observing its eager consumption and growth. Lin Dong persisted in his vigil, awaiting the Blood Clan Young Master. Meanwhile, at a considerable distance in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, the Blood Clan Young Master and his Blood Slave were together. They had initially been en route to the battlefield where Lin Dong and Tian Sha were located. However, midway, the Blood Clan Young Master halted and made a different decision. He promptly severed the connection with the Heavenly Corpse, designated as 'Tian Sha.' Moreover, he resolved not to proceed further. This action caused the nearby Blood Slave considerable surprise. "Young Master, why are we not proceeding?" he inquired. The Blood Clan Young Master stated, "That Lin Dong could subdue the Heavenly Corpse; as you can surmise, he has likely undergone another breakthrough. His strength has ascended to the Third Layer Heaven of the Heavenly Realm. I received real-time updates from the Heavenly Corpse earlier, learning that Lin Dong did not even employ Sword Two, merely utilizing the Law of Heaven and Earth to defeat and subdue him. The Heavenly Corpse’s strength was insufficient to fathom Lin Dong’s true capabilities, failing to even provoke his strongest techniques. Therefore, out of prudence, I have decided against proceeding." "This..." The Blood Slave expressed astonishment. "Does even now you lack the confidence to defeat Lin Dong? Has he already grown to such a terrifying extent?" The Blood Clan Young Master shook his head. "I certainly possess confidence, with an eighty percent likelihood of defeating him. However, I simply wish to avoid this particular risk. Had it been a different occasion, perhaps I would have gone. But at present, we have more critical matters demanding our attention." "Henceforth, our Blood Clan's primary focus will be on that particular undertaking. As for Lin Dong, we shall address him only after achieving that objective." Upon hearing this, the Blood Slave's eyes flickered, understanding precisely the 'matter' the Young Master alluded to. This undertaking was of paramount importance to their Blood Clan, directly impacting their potential resurgence. Although eliminating Lin Dong, a prospective adversary of the Blood Clan, was also significant, it paled in comparison to that principal objective. "Young Master, could we not eliminate Lin Dong first, and then our Blood Clan proceeds with that matter? The timing still seems appropriate if we act now," the Blood Slave implored once more.
The Young Master of the Blood Clan let out a cold snort and responded: "Did I not state it clearly? At this moment, facing him, my confidence is only at eighty percent. Although my probability of victory is higher, even a mere twenty percent chance of failure is a risk I am unwilling to take."
"It's not worth the gamble!"
"While I am reluctant to abandon the Heavenly Corpse, as it is a vital component among the human martial artists, its identity has been revealed, and it has been subdued. I must forsake it now."
"The Heavenly Corpse holds significance, yet I cannot jeopardize our Blood Clan's grand scheme for its sake."
After Elucidating his reasoning, the Blood Slave continuously nodded, exclaiming, "Young Master's wisdom is unparalleled!"
The Blood Clan Young Master continued, "Furthermore, the Heavenly Corpse remains alive. I find it perplexing why Lin Dong has not dispatched him."
"This is undeniably a ploy! It is possible that more formidable human martial arts experts are concealed, lying in wait."
"What if a figure of the Secondary Ancestor level is present? If we were to advance, would we not be walking directly into a prepared ambush?"
"I am aware that Lin Dong maintains cordial relationships with several Secondary Ancestors. For instance, Yun Che of Kunlun, Tian Qiongzi of the Tian Family, and the Poison Emperor from the Tang Sect..."
"Should he enlist their aid for an ambush, then at that juncture, let alone vanquishing Lin Dong, our very escape might become an impossibility."
Upon hearing this, the Blood Slave comprehended the profound meticulousness of the Young Master's foresight.
"Young Master's astuteness is beyond compare; this subordinate truly failed to consider these crucial factors. Now, it is abundantly clear that abandoning the Heavenly Corpse was indeed the sagacious course of action."
The Blood Clan Young Master gave a slight nod and then declared, "Let us depart!"
They set a course for a more distant location, electing not to rescue Tian Sha nor to confront Lin Dong.
Although it might appear that the Blood Clan Young Master had overanalyzed the situation, his hesitation was not solely born from apprehension of Lin Dong's might.
Yet, he ultimately did not make an appearance!
To assert that he chickened out, or that he was afraid, would not be an inaccurate statement!
Meanwhile, at the very location where Lin Dong and Tian Sha were situated.
Another entire day transpired, and still, the Blood Clan Young Master had not arrived.
"He still hasn't arrived. It appears the Young Master of the Blood Clan is genuinely intimidated by you," the Blood Monk, clad in white, commented at this juncture.
He genuinely had not foreseen such a turn of events.
He had already braced himself for a mutual destruction with the Blood Clan Young Master. To his astonishment, the Blood Clan Young Master had dared not to appear.
This conclusion was drawn from the communication relayed by 'Tian Sha,' who was evidently unnerved by Lin Dong's formidable strength!
Lin Dong, at this precise moment, directed his gaze towards Tian Sha.
With the Blood Clan Young Master refusing to appear, this 'pig' had been sufficiently fattened.
There was now no justifiable reason to keep him alive any longer.
