Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2926 - 2925: Earth Corpse!

When women reach a certain level of power, their gaze tends to fall upon the young and vibrant. Men, similarly, are often drawn to the freshness of youth, frequently preferring women in their late teens.

It begs the question: how could a powerful individual in their twenties possibly be interested in someone centuries old? Even as martial artists, regardless of how well they maintain their appearance, looking only thirty, their true age remains a barrier that can eventually cause unease.

Furthermore, Pravime understood that despite Lin Dong's reputation for being a 'womanizer,' he wasn't indiscriminate. He possessed his own principles; those who shared an intimate connection with him were his true confidantes, bound by genuine feelings.

Without an emotional foundation, beauty alone was insufficient to capture his interest. Nevertheless, regarding the Elder Ancestor's directive, she dared not refuse and could only offer a perfunctory agreement.

Beyond the aforementioned factions, other significant powers also registered the news of Lin Dong ascending to the top of the Five Elements Stele. Many immediately relayed this information back to their respective ancestral headquarters.

Clans possessing Elder Ancestors issued directives, predominantly advising their members to avoid provoking Lin Dong and instead seek to befriend him. This was especially true for the major powers within the Dragon Country!

Even the Hidden Clan Sects dispatched orders to foster good relations with Lin Dong. An individual holding the prestigious position of number one on the Five Elements Stele was someone no one wished to make an enemy of.

The current Lin Dong truly represented a formidable force, capable of dominating a region. Should he decide to establish his own powerful faction, even a newly formed one could potentially be recognized as a 'Hidden Clan Family'!

This monumental news wasn't confined to the human martial artist community; it had also permeated the Demon Clan.

Various demon beast factions were abuzz with tales of Lin Dong. Unsurprisingly, their discussions were filled with resentment towards him.

"Damn this human! He's no different from a Kill God. In just three months, he's eliminated thirty-three of our Demon Emperors!"

"Each Demon Emperor requires at least five hundred years of cultivation! For us demon beasts, achieving the same realm demands significantly more time than for humans."

"Detestable! This Plague God, he truly deserves condemnation!"

"Are there no Demon Emperors willing to put an end to him?"

"With his current might, who among us can possibly stop him? To contend with him, one would need at least a Demon Emperor at the Elder Ancestor level. However, Elder Ancestor level Demon Emperors are restricted from easily striking human martial artists below the same rank. Doing so would violate the solemn agreement established between human martial artists and our demon beasts. Consequently, their Elder Ancestors would be authorized to hunt our demon beasts, leading to catastrophic consequences."

"He has become an almost invincible entity. No human or beast can afford to provoke him. The only conceivable scenario would be if a human Elder Ancestor, disregarding all repercussions, decided to target him."

"But is that truly feasible? Would a human Elder Ancestor risk severe punishment from the Alliance of the Heavenly Realm, enduring confinement for over a century? Unless they harbored an extreme personal vendetta, such as him killing their offspring or destroying their lineage, such an action might be considered. Otherwise, no one would undertake such perilous risks simply to eliminate him."

"In light of this, our best course of action is to lie low. We can only resume our activities once this Plague God advances to the Elder Ancestor level or departs from the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. For the time being, it is imperative to avoid him."

"..."

The existence of Lin Dong cast a pall of anxiety over the Demon Clan, leaving them with no recourse but to endure in silence, refraining from any disruptive actions.

Even their hushed conversations were kept low, lest the whispers reach Lin Dong's ears.

Beyond the human martial artists and the Demon Clan, even the Extraterritorial Blood Clan had become aware of this development. The Blood Clan Young Master and his blood slave, among the Seven Great Blood Servants, currently situated in the Blazing Flame North Desert, had also received this news.

Although the Five Elements Stele resided within human martial artist territory, the Blood Clan had strategically placed blood slaves there to facilitate intelligence gathering.

Furthermore, these implants, serving as blood slaves, were dispersed throughout numerous human martial artist realms. This allowed the Extraterritorial Blood Clan to maintain constant vigilance over significant events occurring within human domains.

The insidious nature of the Extraterritorial Blood Clan, operating in secrecy while human martial artists were overt, presented a terrifying advantage. These blood slaves could blend seamlessly among humans, appearing indistinguishable. However, any act of betrayal on their part would unleash unimaginable consequences, inflicting devastating harm.

The shift in the top position on the Five Elements Stele was an event of considerable magnitude across the entire Extraterrestrial Battlefield. News of such importance naturally captured the close attention of the Blood Clan Young Master. Adding to the significance, the individual at the center of this was none other than Lin Dong.

"Young Master, this Lin Dong has already taken the first spot on the Five Elements Stele. If he claims the two rewards from the Five Elements Stele, I fear his cultivation will advance further," Blood Slave stated with concern.

The inability to eliminate an unrivaled prodigy who is rising before their eyes is a grating feeling for the Blood Clan.

The Blood Clan Young Master inquired in a deep tone, "Where is he located at this moment?"

Blood Slave responded, "Based on the slain Demon Emperor's water attribute, he should be in the Azure Water Abyss region."

"Young Master, are you planning to take action? Are you intending to eliminate him?"

The Blood Clan Young Master shook his head, "I have stated that nothing is more critical than that specific matter right now."

"However, regarding Lin Dong, naturally, he must be kept under close observation. Firstly, to constantly monitor his movements and the territory he occupies."

"Prevent him from disrupting my plans. Furthermore, eliminating him does not necessarily necessitate my personal involvement."

"Young Master, you mean?" Blood Slave asked, " dispatching other blood servants to assassinate him?"

"Among the other blood servants, who do you believe can contend with him? Unless it involves her... but it is certainly not feasible to request her assistance." The Blood Clan Young Master shook his head, making it clear that the 'her' he referred to was someone even he, as the Blood Clan Young Master, could not command entirely.

"I shall dispatch one of the Three Corpses, the 'Earth Corpse'... I surmise Lin Dong may be heading towards that Ancient General's Tomb."

Upon hearing this, Blood Slave expressed shock, "Young Master, you intend to send Earth Corpse to that Ancient General's Tomb?"

"Precisely. Naturally, my primary objective is not for Earth Corpse to assassinate Lin Dong. Having Earth Corpse kill Lin Dong is clearly an unattainable goal."

"My intention in dispatching Earth Corpse is mainly for him to act as the praying mantis, unaware of the watchful cicada behind, and the eventual bird of prey. Within the depths of the Ancient General's Tomb lie numerous treasures. These would be immensely beneficial for Earth Corpse, and should he acquire them, his cultivation would undoubtedly grow significantly."

"By then, Earth Corpse alone would be sufficient to suppress Lin Dong!"

"Should Earth Corpse manage to obtain the 'General Pill' from the Ancient General's Tomb, his strength could directly rival a Secondary Ancestor. Eliminating Lin Dong would then be a simple task!"

It appears they are aware of the Ancient General's Tomb, not only Dracula.

As for why they have not ventured into the depths of the Ancient General's Tomb, the reasons are evidently the same as Dracula's, stemming from an inability to enter.

Blood Slave pondered, "Young Master, do you believe Lin Dong can penetrate the Ancient General's Tomb? We expended considerable effort yet were unable to gain entry. Can he succeed?"

"He should be capable. Do not forget, he is an Array Master and a Mental Power Monk... perhaps, he can break the formation and enter. Moreover, this youngster possesses immense luck. If he truly proceeds to that Ancient General's Tomb, I estimate there is at least an eighty percent probability he can access its depths..."

Hearing this, Blood Slave respectfully declared, "Young Master is leveraging the enemy's strength to achieve personal gain."

"Young Master's wisdom is profound."

The Blood Clan Young Master let out a sinister smile before issuing an order.

That order was unmistakably directed towards the 'Earth Corpse' he had previously mentioned...
