Chapter 103 – Dr. Dong and Yutian

Chapter 103 – Dr. Dong and Yutian

In the Wen Chang Academy, Zuo Songyan's face darkened: "How did Su Shizi get injured? I told you to remove the hidden pawns that Wu Shen Bu inserted. Why did he still get hurt?"

Master Tu Ming was also puzzled and cautiously said, "We did remove the hidden pawns, and the bodies were loaded onto the carriage and will be disposed of soon. We don't know how he got stabbed in the butt..."

"The enemy is cunning!"

Zuo Songyan bowed to the Wen Chang Emperor and offered incense, sighing, "We were so careful, but we still missed something. Tu Ming, we promised to protect him, but he was attacked in our academy. Where can I put my old face? Is anyone following him to get treatment for his injuries?"

Master Tu Ming said, "A Taoist is following him."

Zuo Songyan was relieved, "It's good that a Taoist is with him. Strange, how did Wu Shen Bu find Su Yun?"

Master Tu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Sir, the people we eliminated tonight may not necessarily be from Wu Shen Bu. I checked the bodies, and they are not government officials."

Zuo Songyan's face became serious, "So there is a second force investigating Su Yun."

"This is bad!"

Master Tu Ming's face changed slightly and he said urgently, "The Taoist can deal with Wu Shen Bu, but if there is another force, the Taoist will be in danger! I will go there as soon as possible!"

Zuo Songyan shook his head, "No need. Su Yun is getting his injuries treated at the Apricot Forest Medicinal Shop, and Dong Physician is there, so he is not in danger. He may be the strongest person in the academy besides me."

Master Tu Ming was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Sir, may I ask who Dong Physician is in the Taoist world?"

Zuo Songyan glanced at him, "Master, if I tell you his background, then I will have to tell others about your background. Can I trust you?"

Master Tu Ming solemnly shook his head, "Old Piao Ba Zi's reputation is based on trust. Friends in the Taoist world know that Old Piao Ba Zi is trustworthy and loyal. I spoke too much."

Underground.

Wu Shentong came to the pillar where Su Yun was leaning against, carefully examining the traces of disaster dust left on it. Su Yun faced Tong Xuan's attack for the first time and was hit by a thousand swords. Fortunately, he was protected by the Little Yellow Bell, but he was still knocked against the pillar.

Wu Shentong pondered for a moment and smiled, "Cultivation at the Spirit Realm level."

He walked out and checked the footprints left by the Negative Mountain Beasts on the street. The Negative Mountain Beasts were extremely heavy, and the stone slabs on the street could not withstand their weight when they were running, and were crushed!

Wu Shentong wandered around the streets, walking a few streets, then suddenly smiled slightly, leaped up and landed on the eaves of a building on the side of the street. He saw several pieces of broken glass tiles that Tong Xuan had stepped on.

He jumped down from the eaves, stood with his hands behind his back, and bent over like a big dog sniffing around the corner of the street. He looked up and smiled, "Sweep away the disaster dust here."

Several constables jumped out of the darkness on the first floor and immediately used a brush to sweep the corner of the street. They found some small black dust, which was the disaster dust.

Wu Shentong walked forward leisurely and said, "There was wind last night, blowing from the west, blowing the disaster dust on the Negative Mountain Beasts and blowing it to the east side of the street. As long as we sweep down this street, we can find out the whereabouts of the seven Negative Mountain Beasts."

He walked forward confidently, and the constables behind him continued to sweep.At the corner of the street, a hundred bailiffs had already appeared on the east-west street, searching for the robbers who stole the ashes.

"Sir, the ashes disappeared here!" Several bailiffs looked up at a plaque on the side of the street, which read "Apricot Forest Medicinal Shop."

Wu Shentong waved his hand, and all the bailiffs leaped backwards, sticking to the doors of the shops on both sides of the street. If anyone inside the shops got up to check, the bailiffs would knock on the doors and whisper, "Official business."

Naturally, there was no movement inside the shops.

Wu Shentong walked towards the Apricot Forest Medicinal Shop, and his spirit power expanded behind him. Chains lifted up like poisonous dragons and pythons.

He was about to attack the Apricot Forest Medicinal Shop when he suddenly sensed something and stopped, turning around.

In the middle of the night, the city of Shuofang was quiet, with only the dim light of the ashes lamp.

At the street corner, a Taoist walked out slowly, holding a dustpan in his right hand and draping it over his left arm.

The Taoist walked with an extremely upright posture, walking accurately on a straight line with his left and right feet. His wide robe and big sleeves became puffy in the cold wind, as if he was carrying the wind!

Swish!

Countless dust threads rose up into the sky, reaching a height of thirty to fifty zhang. Under the light of the high-rise buildings, they looked as white and crystal clear as snow.

At the same time, boundless light burst out from behind the Taoist, illuminating the street. A huge white crane slowly spread its wings in the light, then suddenly retracted them, turning into a giant bird-headed and human-bodied ghost!

"There are thirty Tianxiang realm experts in Shuofang City. One died last night, leaving twenty-nine."

Wu Shentong looked up at the bird-headed and human-bodied ghost and said lightly, "I know all these people, but I don't know when there was one more?"

Suddenly, light burst out from behind him, and the element spirit he cultivated floated up, turning into a bixi with tiger head, dragon horn and dragon beard. It stood up on its hind legs and turned into a bixi god-man, with countless chains rotating around its body.

Wu Shentong stood under the bixi god-man and sneered, "I also know you, and I thought we were friends. I didn't want to fight you."

The Taoist was Idle Cloud, walking with a very strange gait. He smiled and said, "Captain Wu, this is the lower level, and there are rules in the lower level. When you reach the fifth floor, you are no longer a county magistrate, and you must follow the rules of the lower world."

The bird-headed and human-bodied ghost behind him suddenly moved, grabbing the dustpan and stabbing it towards Wu Shentong with countless dust threads like swords!

On both sides of the street, the bailiffs were about to take action when countless silver-white and shining dustpans suddenly stabbed past their necks and pierced into the doors of the shops. The dust threads looked like silk, but they were actually incredibly soft swords!

All the bailiffs dared not move, leaving only Wu Shentong to face the attack!

Boom!

The street exploded like thunder out of nowhere. Two Tianxiang realm experts collided, and Wu Shentong was sent flying backwards. Countless chains flew and wrapped around the lamp posts, dissipating the terrifying force.

He cultivated the divine power of the prison, and was good at close combat, killing criminals at close range. But in this collision with Idle Cloud, he felt an extremely violent force crushing him, making it difficult for him to resist!

"When Idle Cloud fought with the whole village, he didn't show such strong combat power!"The two of them fought while retreating. Wu Shentong was almost forced out of the ground five floors by Xian Yun several times and could only hold on with great difficulty.

As they left the street, the constables on both sides of the street breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to leave, suddenly a dim gray light appeared on the street.

All the constables looked towards the light, where a stooped figure was walking towards them. Every time the figure passed a lamp, the light would gradually dim, as if the energy hidden in the light was being sucked away by some monster.

Not only that, but as the figure passed by, the constables next to it suddenly covered their throats, fell to the ground in pain, convulsed twice, and then stopped moving! No one made a sound from the moment they covered their throats until they died!

The other constables retreated one by one, suddenly leaping to the second floor and using their own methods to jump to the top of the building, quickly leaving the range of the ground five floors.

The gray light continued to go out until the stooped figure arrived at the entrance of the Xinglin Medicinal Shop.

With a creak, the door of the Xinglin Medicinal Shop opened, and Dong Yishi, who was pot-bellied, walked out with a small wooden box in his hand.

"Is it not good to be alive? Why come out of the old no man's land?" Dong Yishi said indifferently.

"Ha ha! Someone invited me out of the mountains to capture someone!" The stooped figure looked up, revealing an incredibly old face, a face formed by countless wrinkles, with almost no eyes, nose, or mouth. "He is very interested in this person!"

Behind this strange old man was a long darkness, like a shadow, and like a huge body, while the old man was like a small tentacle on the body!

The gray light on the street went out completely, and the entire street fell into darkness. In this darkness, a faint fragrance blew, suddenly a hoarse cry came from the street, "You are also from the old no man's land, I know you! You are Dong Tian..."

A bright light flashed, illuminating the street, and then dimmed.

Su Yun's butt was still hot and painful, so he had to lie down, but he still noticed the light, which was like a knife.

He was about to lift his head when he saw Dong Yishi push open the door of the medicinal shop and return, closing the door behind him.

Su Yun noticed his right arm, which was bleeding, a wound that looked very much like the one he had when he used his immortal sword to slay the dragon and his arm was injured due to the inability to withstand the impact of his qi and blood!

"Mr. Dong..."

"I'm fine." Dong Yishi put down the wooden box and said lightly, "He may be an old acquaintance. After he left an arm, he knew it was difficult and retreated."

Su Yun was silent for a moment and asked tentatively, "Mr. Dong, are you also from the Heavenly City?"

Dong Yishi had originally planned to enter the secret room, but stopped in his tracks when he heard this. "Yes, I am also from the Heavenly City. However, my people are only me left, so I left the Heavenly City to find my own kind."

"Have you found them?" Su Yun asked.

Dong Yishi's face was hidden in the shadow where the light could not reach. "Not yet. I thought you might be one, but I haven't figured it out yet. Maybe you are, maybe you're not. Rest early."

Su Yun agreed, thinking to himself, "Mr. Dong has a knife technique that is similar to that sword technique. Is he from another world?"At this moment, a sudden dragon roar was heard. Su Yun was startled and sat up, looking out the window. He saw a divine dragon flying around Idle Cloud Taoist, fighting with agility. Idle Cloud Taoist was forced to retreat again and again!

That true dragon was magical and vivid, like a real divine dragon.

Su Yun's mind was thundering: "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon..."

Wu Shentong jumped up and stood on the sixth floor, overlooking Idle Cloud Taoist. He laughed and said, "Idle Cloud, I'm here to investigate, not to fight to the death with you. Since Daoist insists on guarding the rules of the lower world, then I will retreat. What surprises me is why such a great master like you would hide in a small place like Shuofang. I am very curious about your identity... Let's go!"

The bailiffs followed him and left.

Su Yun tried to look up, but he couldn't see Wu Shentong's figure anymore.

"Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon! It's Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon!"

Su Yun lay on the sickbed, his mind in turmoil: "He is the disciple of the leader Xuange! When the whole village was eating to cross the tribulation, he saved the whole village with the True Dragon Technique and threw them into the Dragon Tomb!"

He couldn't calm down for a long time, his mind was in a mess. At this time, Idle Cloud Taoist walked to the street and sat down on the wall next to Su Yun's sickbed.

Su Yun heard Idle Cloud Taoist's voice outside: "Why would a master like me hide in Shuofang? Wu Shentong, why would a master like you hide here?"

Su Yun was shocked by what he heard, Wu Shentong was indeed a very terrifying figure!

Idle Cloud Taoist leaned against the eaves of the Xinglin Medicinal Herb Shop and soon fell asleep.

Su Yun couldn't sleep, so he quietly activated the improved Hongluo Transformation Furnace.

The Great Unity Technique was in operation, and he saw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth quietly gathering in the medicinal herb shop, gradually forming into sacred illusions such as Yinglong, Kaiming, and Taotie.

Doctor Dong was busy dissecting the Gray Calamity Monster. Occasionally, he passed by the sickbed and saw the twelve sacred illusions behind Su Yun. He thought to himself, "The spiritual energy is more abundant than last night. His swordsmanship seems like a divine technique. Could he be one of us?"

Chi Xiaoyao poked her head out and said, "Teacher, the Gray Calamity Monster has awakened again! We have only dismantled half of it, and it has already woken up!"

Doctor Dong hurried over.

The next morning, Su Yun got up, washed up, and felt a little sore in his buttocks.

Doctor Dong was dismantling the door, glanced at him, and Su Yun smiled, "I'll treat you to breakfast today."

The door of the medicinal herb shop was dismantled, and Su Yun looked outside. Suddenly, he was stunned. He saw a huge arm walking towards him, about ten or twenty yards long, occupying half of the street!

That arm was extremely thick, covered with vortex-like patterns, full of strength!

Strangely, the patterns on the fingers of that arm were folded to form the shape of a human face. It is believed that the owner of this arm must have an astonishingly keen sense of touch!

Some of the lower-class people who got up early went forward boldly and lifted the folds on the fingers. They exclaimed, "This hand has eyes!"

Someone whispered, "It seems to be Yutian Jiang from the Old No-Man's Land. When I left Tianji City on the Chuzhong Carriage, I passed through the Old No-Man's Land and met Yutian Jiang. His hand was like this. He is one of the oldest giants in the Old No-Man's Land..."Su Yun heard it in his ears and looked at the unremarkable fat physician beside him, thinking to himself: "The Yutian General in the remote wilderness? Last night, Dr. Dong cut off this Yutian General's hand with a flash of his knife. So what is Dr. Dong's background? Why is he teaching medical skills at the Wenchang Academy?"
