Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2212: Chapter 2216: Hidden Killing Intent

”Oh? There’s a connection with me?”

Zhang Daoling looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

”San Feng Predecessor is also a Taoist. The Taoist martial arts holy land later inherited on Yuan Star was established by San Feng Predecessor!”

Jiang Chen explained with a smile.

”Is that so? Haha, it seems I really must meet this Yin Yang Sword Emperor!”

Zhang Daoling also chuckled softly.

”Zhang Ling.”

Suddenly, a voice transmission echoed in Zhang Ling’s mind: ”Don’t show any strangeness, ask this kid a few questions for me. If the answers satisfy me, I won’t treat you unjustly!”

Tong Hai Predecessor!?

Zhang Daoling’s expression changed slightly, and he nodded gently.

”Ask this kid if he knows my elder brother’s name, if he knows where he is, and how he came by the space ring in his possession!”

The voice transmission echoed again, and Zhang Daoling’s brows furrowed lightly.

”Mr. Zhang?”

Seeing Zhang Daoling suddenly lost in thought, Jiang Chen spoke curiously.

”Mr. Jiang, do you know how many strong experts there are in the Domain Lord’s Mansion?”

Zhang Daoling came back to his senses, smiled lightly, and tapped his own brow.

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, puzzled: ”I only know of the Domain Lord and the Four Elders, what about it?”

”The Domain Lord’s Mansion not only hosts the Domain Lord and Four Elders, but also several powerful enshrined experts. Of course, the Four Elders are the four strongest amongst them.”

Zhang Daoling smiled as he spoke, winked, and tapped his brow again.

Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly, brow? Sea of Consciousness? Could it be...

”I see the Four Elders are so powerful!”

Jiang Chen marveled, nodding at Zhang Daoling with a meaningful look.

”Then do you know which of the Four Elders is the strongest?”

Zhang Daoling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with a smile.

Jiang Chen, coming from Yuan Star and being the Dragon Descendant, is a descendant of his benefactor. Though Zhang Daoling didn’t know what Tong Hai intended, he would absolutely not let Jiang Chen fall into danger.

”This junior is unaware.”

Jiang Chen shook his head lightly.

”It’s the Great Enshrined, Tong Jiang Predecessor, have you heard of him?”

Zhang Daoling asked again, a strange color flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Chen instantly comprehended, shook his head lightly: ”I’ve only heard of the Four Elders’ titles, but I really don’t know their names.”

”I see!”

Zhang Daoling glanced at Jiang Chen’s chest intentionally, and touched his own hand: ”Mr. Jiang, do you happen to have an extra space ring? The space in my ring is getting small. I planned to see if there would be a space ring for auction tonight, but alas, my pockets are empty, so I was wondering...”

He glanced again at Jiang Chen’s chest.

Jiang Chen’s eyes shifted slightly, a chill ran through his heart.

How does the person behind Mr. Zhang know I have Tong Jiang’s space ring?!

But now is not the time to ponder this; since Zhang Daoling is being instructed to ask questions, someone must be able to hear their conversation.

Jiang Chen’s eyes flicked, and he reached into his bosom and took out Tong Jiang’s space ring, handing it to Zhang Daoling: ”Mr. Zhang, I happen to have a space ring here. You can use it.”

”Ask him where the ring came from, ask him!”

An urgent voice transmission echoed in Zhang Daoling’s mind, filled with urgency and killing intent!

”Where did you get this ring?”

Zhang Daoling reached out and took the ring, squeezing his eyes hard.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and replied with a light smile: ”I picked it up from a tool shop I passed by while out on a mission; it’s yours, Predecessor.”

”Oh? If that’s the case, then I shall accept Mr. Jiang’s generosity. But of course, I can’t allow Mr. Jiang to be at a loss. This is a Positioning Jade Talisman I made in my spare time — should you ever need help, crush the talisman, and I will sense your whereabouts!”

Zhang Daoling wore the ring on his hand, took out a jade talisman from his own ring, and handed it to Jiang Chen.

”Thank you so much, Predecessor!”

Jiang Chen accepted the jade talisman with joy, rising to cup his fist: ”I won’t disturb you further, Predecessor, take my leave!”

”Good!”

Zhang Daoling nodded gently.

Watching Jiang Chen leave, Zhang Daoling waited quietly.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

After a while, three figures appeared in Zhang Daoling’s pavilion.

”Greetings, three Predecessors!”

Zhang Daoling stood up, cupped his fist, and saluted Tong Hai and the other two.

”Give me the ring!”

Tong Hai spoke, his body trembling, his gaze fixed on the space ring in Zhang Daoling’s hand.

Zhang Daoling decisively took off the ring and handed it to Tong Hai.

Tong Hai meticulously examined the ring, then shook his head lightly towards Tong He and the other one: ”Besides the aura of that junior, there’s no other person’s aura!”

”Damn it! Who was it that killed my...”

Tong He roared angrily.

”Second brother!”

Tong Hai quickly interrupted Tong He’s words.

Tong He glanced at Zhang Daoling, then turned his head away with a furious expression.

”Zhang Ling, don’t speak of today’s events to anyone, understand?”

Tong Hai looked seriously at Zhang Daoling.

”Yes!”

Zhang Daoling nodded solemnly.

”Here are five Guiyuan Pills, as your reward!”

Tong Hai took out a porcelain bottle and tossed it to Zhang Daoling. With a flash of his form, he disappeared, followed by Tong He and the other.

Zhang Daoling caught the bottle, watching the spot where the three had stood, his brows furrowing slightly.

From Tong He’s words... Tong Jiang is dead?!

Zhang Daoling’s heart trembled, tightening his grip on the bottle as his mind raced.

Mr. Jiang, was that space ring really something you bought? If not... this could be troublesome!

A heavy look flashed in his eyes. After glancing at the bottle in his hand, Zhang Daoling made up his mind, returning to his room and entering a state of cultivation.

High above the courtyard where Zhang Daoling resided.

”The guy has started cultivating!”

Tong Hai spoke softly.

”Seems like there’s nothing amiss; what should we do next?”

Tong He turned to look at Tong Hai.

”Find a chance to ask that junior where he bought my elder brother’s space ring!”

Tong Hai said grimly, with cold killing intent in his eyes.

Tong He and the other didn’t speak, only nodding with sullen faces.

After watching Zhang Daoling’s residence for a while, the three figures disappeared high into the air.

Night fell.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the door of the pavilion was opened, and Zhang Daoling stepped out.

”Sigh, having taken his ring, I owe him a favor. Though I gave him a jade talisman, it doesn’t feel quite right. Judging from Mr. Jiang’s behavior, he seems well-off, so I’ll take him to the auction, help him get a few good items as compensation!”

Zhang Daoling muttered to himself as he stepped out of the courtyard, heading towards where Jiang Chen and others resided.
