Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1846 - 1843: Irreconcilable Enmity
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
Lin Feng’s face instantly turned as pale as paper. He frantically scanned his surroundings, only to see the disdain in everyone’s eyes.
Throughout history, internal family conflicts, no matter how deep, should be resolved internally.
Resorting to outsiders is a despicable act.
He thought his actions were secretive, but now that a Netherworld Ancient Tower assassin had publicly exposed his scandal, he instantly became the object of everyone’s scorn, like a rat crossing the street, with everyone shouting to hit him.
"I didn’t expect him to be so vicious."
"Hiring Netherworld Ancient Tower assassins to kill Lin Mo, how utterly laughable."
"For someone like this to come out of the Lin Family, it’s truly a misfortune."
People from the other two families scoffed openly, their sharp words stabbing Lin Feng unmercifully like knives.
Members of the Lin Family hung their heads in shame. After this incident, the Lin Family might become the laughingstock of the entire Netherworld City.
Xu Wendong watched this scene with secret satisfaction, an involuntary smile playing on his lips.
Keeping those Netherworld Ancient Tower assassins was indeed a wise decision; he didn’t expect them to play a crucial role at this moment, leaving Lin Feng no room for denial.
"Family Head, listen to my explanation. I don’t even know these people. This must be a setup by Lin Mo to deliberately smear me!" Lin Feng, burning with anxiety, spoke with agitation to Lin Zhen Tian.
"Lin Mo, you damned bastard, killing my brother wasn’t enough? Now you’ve framed me?"
"It seems you’ve come seeking death today; I will slay you to rid the Lin Family of plague!" As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, he struck out.
Cornered, he knew that if he didn’t eliminate Xu Wendong, he would fall into even bigger trouble.
A chilling wind carrying Lin Feng’s murderous intent swept forward.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and the terrifying Netherworld Power within him surged like a tide, instantly coalescing into sharp Sword Qi, ferociously rushing towards Xu Wendong.
"How dare you!" Lin Zhen Tian’s fury ignited at the sight.
Today, with the Three Great Families gathered at Ancient Pan Mountain, they had already lost face due to the murder-for-hire incident, and yet Lin Feng dared commit violence before him, utterly disregarding him as the Family Head, blatantly insulting him.
The others from the two families looked on indifferently, their expressions cold.
They were well aware this was an internal Lin Family conflict, and they had only to watch from the sidelines.
Despite Lin Feng being full of killing intent, Xu Wendong remained calm, standing still without any movement.
At this critical moment, Lin Zhen Tian intervened.
He flickered like a phantom, swiftly seizing Lin Feng’s wrist, releasing a terrifying aura like a sudden gust breaking out of nowhere.
"Pa!"
A crisp sound reverberated across the mountains, as Lin Zhen Tian slapped Lin Feng hard across the face.
The force was immense, spinning Lin Feng around three times on the spot.
The Yin Energy Lin Feng released instantly vanished without a trace, the previously sharp attack against Xu Wendong dissipating into nothing more than a gentle breeze, incapable of causing any harm.
"Family Head! I’m being framed!" Lin Feng was utterly flustered by now. He knew he was trapped with no way out, but still harbored a sliver of unwillingness, crying out loudly for justice.
"The evidence is overwhelming, and you still dare to deny it?" Lin Zhen Tian’s eyes were like torches, full of deep disappointment and anger.
"Family Head, it’s the Huang Family!" Lin Feng grasped at this last straw, hurriedly saying, "Lin Mo annulled his marriage with Huang Ying, the Huang Family held a grudge and made me contact the Netherworld Ancient Tower for revenge, leading to today’s events."
With these words, everyone’s eyes turned sharply to Huang Tianba.
The crowd couldn’t help but marvel; there was more to this story than met the eye. The plot twist had come so swiftly, catching everyone off guard.
Huang Tianba’s face instantly turned an ashen gray; he hadn’t expected Lin Feng to sell him out at this critical moment.
"Hmph, how could the Huang Family Master not know of this? Lin Feng, you face death and still want to drag the Huang Family down with you?" Huang Tianba scoffed coldly, adamantly denying, his stance resolute.
"Bring out Huang Ying, and we’ll confront each other face to face to see the truth," Lin Feng shouted angrily, resigning to his fate. In his mind, if he was going down, no one else should have it easy.
"My daughter is..." Huang Tianba began to call out Huang Ying, but suddenly halted. He scanned the surroundings, realizing Huang Ying was not present, and the faces of other Huang Family members turned grim.
"Where is my daughter?" Huang Tianba’s pupils contracted sharply, a sense of looming unease rising in his heart.
"Your daughter and Hun Tian were in cahoots, a pair of adulterers. They haven’t come down, perhaps they died on the mountain," Xu Wendong said with a slight sneer, eyes filled with contempt.
The surroundings instantly fell silent; everyone knew the scandal between Huang Ying and Hun Tian was explosive news.
Lin Feng seemed to grasp a chance to turn the tables, immediately shouting: "Huang Family Master, it was this person who killed Huang Ying, don’t you want revenge?"
For a moment, the scene grew more chaotic, the situation spiraling further out of control.
No one had expected the conflict at Ancient Pan Mountain to devolve into such chaos.
Huang Tianba’s pupils contracted violently; he hurriedly produced a Jade Token, his daughter Huang Ying’s Lifebound Jade Talisman.
By all rights, if something had happened to Huang Ying, this Jade Token would shatter.
Indeed, the Jade Token in Huang Tianba’s hand instantly crumbled into powder, dispersing in the air.
"Ahhh!" Huang Tianba was instantly consumed with fury, eyes bloodshot, the hatred in them threatening to consume the world. He roared, "Lin Mo, you dared kill my daughter? The Huang Family shall be irreconcilable with you!"
Faced with this sudden twist, everyone was too stunned to speak.
Xu Wendong, however, appeared indifferent; he wasn’t the killer, but when he glanced at Zhao Ying’er, seeing her beautiful eyes trembling slightly, an idea formed in his mind.
"I killed her, so what can you do?" Xu Wendong admitted without hesitation, completely ignoring Lin Zhen Tian’s frantic gestures trying to signal him.
"Good, good, you truly deserve death!" Huang Tianba was trembling with rage, and laughing bitterly in his fury. He couldn’t have imagined events would escalate to this magnitude.
As Huang Tianba raised his hand, his aura surged, about to strike Xu Wendong dead.
At this critical moment, a deep and cold voice rang out: "You Three Great Families are indeed lively."
Everyone turned towards the voice, seeing Elder Bai from the Heavenly Nether Sect standing there, expressionless.
Elder Bai’s gaze was like electricity; with just a glance, Huang Tianba seemed immobilized, his banners lowered, unable to act rashly.
Elder Bai slowly approached Xu Wendong, examining him up and down, nodding slightly, saying: "Not bad, a real talent."
Then, he turned to Lin Zhen Tian, saying: "Lin Dong is dead; your Lin Family must account to the Heavenly Nether Sect. This is your Lin Family’s internal affair, with which the Heavenly Nether Sect should not interfere."
"But I need one person to accompany me back to the Heavenly Nether Sect, to replace Lin Dong as a Disciple." Having said this, he looked meaningfully at Lin Zhen Tian, making it clear the person he wanted was Xu Wendong.
Lin Zhen Tian’s eyes brightened at these words, and he laughed heartily, "Thanks to Elder’s consideration, I shall comply."
With Elder Bai’s words, Huang Tianba’s hope of killing Xu Wendong that day vanished.
Killing a member of the Lin Family might incite war between the Lin and Huang Families; but killing a Heavenly Nether Sect Disciple would undoubtedly provoke the Heavenly Nether Sect’s wrath.
Huang Tianba’s expression darkened dramatically; he clenched his teeth tightly, seething with hatred, yet helpless.
"Since Lin Dong is dead, I give the Lin Family seven days to prepare. In seven days, I will take this person with me," Elder Bai said, looking at Xu Wendong with indisputable authority.
