Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2920 - 2919: Turncoat

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, Dracula’s face turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Brother Lin, to avoid complications, I think we should leave earlier."

Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "You can go by yourself. Otherwise, follow my schedule."

Lin Dong was extremely assertive, not yielding the schedule and control to Dracula.

Achieving first place on the Five Elements Stele was also a matter of great importance to him.

If he could reach first place on the Five Elements Stele, then he would receive two rewards from it.

Neither of those rewards would be too shabby.

Besides, going to the Ancient General’s Tomb, what difference does it make if it’s earlier or later?

Moreover, Lin Dong wasn’t inclined to let others freely dictate his time.

Quickly, they arrived at another Demon Emperor.

This Demon Emperor’s strength was clearly inferior to the previous one.

It only had the strength of a two-star Demon Emperor and sensing Lin Dong and the others approaching, it immediately looked towards them.

And upon seeing Lin Dong, it couldn’t help but exclaim.

"It’s you, the harbinger of disaster!" It spoke in human language, actually recognizing Lin Dong.

Lin Dong frowned and asked, "You recognize me?"

"Of course I recognize you, otherwise, why would I come here to avoid you? I came here precisely to hide from you!" The Demon Emperor spoke with a bit of a tremble.

Unlike other Demon Emperors, after receiving the message to avoid Lin Dong, it had seen Lin Dong’s portrait.

Remembering him deeply.

Unlike other demon beasts who were foolish, aiming to avoid the ’harbinger of disaster’ among the Demon Clan, yet couldn’t even recognize what the disaster-bringer looked like.

Wasn’t that just too stupid?

So it was also the first to recognize Lin Dong.

"My luck is just too bad, hiding in this barren place, yet he still found me, really stepping in dog shit luck." It lamented in its heart without end.

Next, it had no intention of fleeing, as it knew that with its current speed, escaping was simply impossible.

Given Lin Dong’s strength, how could he let it get away?

It directly pleaded for mercy to Lin Dong.

"Master, spare my life. I beg you, spare me, I am completely vegetarian, I beg the master to spare my life."

Seeing this, Lin Dong seemed a bit speechless, he had never seen such a spineless Demon Emperor.

Ye Linglong also froze for a moment, it was her first time seeing such a cowardly Demon Emperor, was this still the Demon Emperor she had in mind?

Didn’t those other Demon Emperors they encountered before act all arrogant and conceited?

Why was this one so timid?

Lin Dong also found it kind of funny and exasperating, he asked, "Give me a reason to spare you."

"I don’t eat people, I am vegetarian. Is that reason enough?" The two-star Demon Emperor said tremblingly.

"I don’t care whether you’re vegetarian, I want to hunt Demon Emperors to reach first place on the Five Elements Stele," Lin Dong shook his head, "I’ll give you another chance, if you can provide me with a satisfactory reason, I can let you go."

The Demon Emperor trembled all over, suddenly thinking of a reason.

"Master, master. I know there is a demon beast family around here. They have gathered together, a total of four Demon Emperors and eight Demon Kings."

"They are all water snake-like demon beasts, belonging to one family. In this area, they have dominated for many years. When they encounter passing humans, they do not spare them. They even consume other demon beasts..."

"Let me take you to eliminate them, will you spare me?"

"Hmm?" Lin Dong was clearly not expecting it to come up with such a shrewd tactic.

Directly selling out the other demon beasts to save its own life.

Lin Dong stroked his chin, considering for a while.

"Master, if you kill me, it’s just one more Demon Emperor you hunted, but I can take you to hunt four Demon Emperors. Wouldn’t reaching first place on the Five Elements Stele be quicker this way?"

It was indeed clever, directly considering the issue from Lin Dong’s perspective.

Lin Dong was also persuaded by it.

"Okay, take me there. If there really are four Demon Emperors as you said, and you take me there, I can spare your life," Lin Dong said.

Hearing this, the two-star Demon Emperor was overjoyed, seeing an opportunity to live.

And hearing Lin Dong’s agreement, Dracula suddenly said from the side: "Brother Lin, you should think it over more carefully."

"Many demon beasts, especially at the Demon Emperor level, are very cunning. What if the place it takes you to is extremely dangerous?"

"Or perhaps a place of prohibition, going there might mean not being able to return."

"Or, it takes you to a Demon Emperor nest guarded by a Five-Star Demon Emperor, bringing you there means taking your life."

The possibility of such occurrences had indeed been documented before.

However, Lin Dong felt no anxiety.

His possession of a Spiritual Power Domain meant that as long as he maintained proximity within a certain range, he could sense impending dangers, provided he had a general direction. This capability allowed him to accurately determine whether the Demon Emperor was attempting to lure him into a trap or genuinely guiding him to eliminate the mentioned demon beast clan.

Upon hearing Dracula's words, the two-star Demon Emperor hastily offered a defense: "I am not."

"My sole desire is survival! I would never harbor any malicious intentions towards the master," it pleaded, its earnestness almost comical as it employed the learned human term of address, "master." The creature had also picked up on certain human duplicitous behaviors.

Lin Dong gestured dismissively. "Enough of this drivel. Lead the way. I caution you, attempt no tricks, or you will deeply regret it."

"I won't, I absolutely won't play any tricks," the two-star Demon Emperor stammered, visibly trembling.

With that, it hurried ahead to guide them.

It led Lin Dong and his companions through the Black Mist Domain. This domain was characterized by numerous 'void spaces,' with many folded within themselves, creating an illusion of limited size while actually being immensely vast.

After an indeterminate period of travel, the two-star Demon Emperor guided the trio to a forest of black reef stones. The ambient water elements in this area were so dense they felt almost palpable, exuding a breath that was both humid and chilling.

Scattered throughout the stone forest were black reefs of various shapes, resembling colossal beasts in their slumber, silently standing guard over the ancient landscape. The central part of this stony expanse was dotted with numerous caves, each appearing as a gateway to an unknown realm, emanating a mystifying and alluring aura. However, a disquieting dark mist swirled within these caves.

This mist seemed animate, undulating slowly at the cave mouths, greedily consuming any light that dared to probe their hidden secrets. Even Lin Dong's formidable Spiritual Power Domain proved incapable of piercing this profound darkness to uncover what lay within.

"This region constitutes the domain of that serpent clan's demon family—the Dark Ghost Snake Clan," the two-star Demon Emperor's voice reached Lin Dong's ears, tinged with both deference and palpable fear.
