The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 1417: Chapter 1410: Whispers

Skipping class together?!

Sure, let’s try it!

Lin Tian was a bit taken aback by what Ziqi had said.

He stared wide-eyed at Ziqi, who usually had the appearance of a model student, feeling quite speechless.

It seemed she had never skipped class before and now wanted to experience it with him.

“You’re the class leader, and you want to lead by example in skipping class with me?”

Lin Tian waved his hand in front of Ziqi, speaking in a peculiar tone.

“Of course! Take me with you, okay? Are we going shopping or eating?”

Ziqi’s eyes lit up, filled with excitement, as she said energetically, “As long as you don’t say anything, neither will I. When we return to school in the afternoon, I’ll explain to Mr. Gao, and everything will be fine!”

“The thought of skipping class to play is so thrilling! I want to go with you!”

Thrilling?

Lin Tian couldn’t help but feel a series of black lines appear on his forehead.

“I’m not going shopping or eating, my beautiful class leader, you’d better head back!”

The place Lin Tian was going to wasn’t a fun place, and the road wasn’t easy to travel. He didn’t want to bring along such a delicate person.

Besides, he wasn’t going for fun.

“Hmph, no way, I want to go too! Just this once, let me go with you!”

Ziqi was determined, pouting and shaking her head repeatedly.

“Fine, do as you like, just don’t complain to me later!”

Lin Tian shrugged helplessly and could only allow the girl to follow.

Right now, he was planning to revisit Youzi Mountain.

The last time he went with Lu Jie and others, he hadn’t properly explored it.

Although he had repeatedly scouted with his Divine Sense, Lin Tian still found it peculiar.

Especially the deeper parts of Youzi Mountain, which he had not yet visited.

Ziqi followed beside Lin Tian, curiously watching his profile, noting his slightly furrowed brow that seemed to carry a touch of indescribable past hardships, suddenly feeling the boy possessed a unique aura and charm.

“Mr. Lin, where are we going?”

Ziqi tilted her head, asking as she walked alongside Lin Tian.

“You’ll know once we get there!”

Lin Tian glanced at the persistent girl, replying with a smirk. Then he furrowed his brow, his Divine Sense extending secretly toward the direction of the Siheyuan.

In the Siheyuan.

Long Motian was busy.

He had called a renovation company to rebuild the Siheyuan.

Moreover, they were restoring it according to traditional Siheyuan styles, something Long Motian had spent some effort finding people to do.

Regarding Lin Tian’s words, he didn’t dare be negligent at all.

As for escaping, it was something Long Motian didn’t dare consider.

If he returned to Dragon Cry City, Lin Tian might not even need to come; his Ancestor, Long Wuheng, might kill him first.

Faced with the choice between his life and possibly being a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, it was an easy decision!

“Damn it! Damn Golden Core Late Stage… or maybe even Nascent Soul stage, who do you think you’re fooling with…”

Long Motian cursed under his breath while watching the renovation workers busying around.

However, just as he finished speaking, a voice resounded in his mind.

“Where did you say the Ancient Hall was discovered?”

The sudden voice was cold, indifferent, yet familiar.

It was Lin Tian’s voice!

This unexpected voice startled Long Motian so much that he jumped.

He quickly stood up, looked around, and found no trace of Lin Tian, which left him looking as if he had seen a ghost.

“P-predecessor, where are you?”

Long Motian looked around frantically but saw no one. Swallowing hard, he asked nervously.

Remembering what Lin Tian had implanted into his mind earlier sent chills down his spine.

“Stop looking! I’m not in the Siheyuan; I’m over at University City!”

The cold voice continued, and Lin Tian demanded, “Where exactly did you say the Ancient Hall was?”

“Ah…”

Lin Tian’s words terrified Long Motian, almost causing him to fall to the ground.

His sudden movement confused several renovation workers, who gaped at him.

After a moment, Long Motian awkwardly stood up and looked toward University City’s direction.

It was at least five to six kilometers away!

How powerful his Divine Sense must be!

The range of his Ancestor’s Divine Sense was perhaps only a bit over ten kilometers!

Long Motian’s mind swirled with thoughts, stunned.

“What are you spacing out for? Speak up!”

An even colder and more indifferent voice echoed within Long Motian’s Sea of Consciousness.

He snapped back to attention and answered respectfully, “P-predecessor, I don’t know the exact location of the Ancient Hall. But according to them, it’s in the western part of Yanjing City, up the Liuu Fang River, in a place called Bai Dong Mountain! They say the Ancient Hall is deep in the river, and we’ll know the exact position once we go there!”

University City.

Upon hearing the name Bai Dong Mountain, Lin Tian frowned, refraining from asking Long Motian further. He retracted his Divine Sense and turned to look at Ziqi.

“Do you know where Bai Dong Mountain is?”

“Bai Dong Mountain? Are we going there?”

Ziqi looked surprised and said, “Bai Dong Mountain is over a hundred kilometers away from Yanjing! It’s near Yanzhou City in the western part of the North Continent!”

That far?

This skip day was initially meant for revisiting Youzi Mountain, hoping to check out the so-called Ancient Hall in advance.

Now it’s so far, bringing Ziqi along made it more inconvenient.

“Forget it, let’s go to Youzi Mountain!”

Lin Tian shook his head, telling Ziqi, “Keep up, I’m not obliged to carry you later!”

Having said that, Lin Tian took the lead.

“Ah… Youzi Mountain!”

Ziqi’s beautiful eyes widened, her pretty face turned pale, showing fear.

The last time she went to Youzi Mountain, everywhere was covered with white cloths and dilapidated coffins, plus the gloomy and damp forest, which was genuinely frightening.

Yet Lin Tian ignored her, continuing to walk while saying blandly, “If you’re scared, don’t come!”

“Hmph, who’s scared!”

Initially hesitant, Ziqi snorted, gritting her silver teeth, and quickly followed up.

Before long.

The two of them had left University City, reaching the entrance of Youzi Mountain.

Hanging white cloths, scattered yellow papers, broken coffins all over the mountain, coupled with the gloomy and damp forest, where eerie bird calls echoed, made Ziqi shiver instantly.

“Class leader, if you’re really scared, you should head back!”

Walking ahead, Lin Tian looked at Ziqi dragging her feet and couldn’t help but turn back with a smile.

“I’m not!”

Ziqi stubbornly denied, following closely.

Lin Tian smiled faintly and said no more, continuing toward the depths of Youzi Mountain.

As they went deeper, Ziqi’s complexion grew increasingly pale.

Eventually, she subconsciously grabbed Lin Tian’s arm, looking terrified.

“You were scared, yet you insisted on coming!”

Lin Tian glanced at her, shaking his head and letting her hold onto his arm as they walked slowly forward.

They passed the area where they encountered Jin Xiong and the others before; Lin Tian led Ziqi over a ridge.

Ahead, a small gorge appeared with a creek flowing out from it.

“Such intense Yin Qi!”

Walking to the gorge entrance, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, secretly amazed.

Following behind him, Ziqi couldn’t help but shiver.

“There’s no white cloth or coffins here, but… why is it so cold?”

Ziqi shrunk her head, trembling as she spoke, “Lin Tian, what are we doing here?”

“Of course, there’s a reason! You claimed you weren’t scared, just follow along!”

Lin Tian shook his head, ultimately grabbing her hand, walking along the creek into the gorge.

Meanwhile, Lin Tian’s Divine Sense had spread within the gorge.

It was small, about the size of a basketball court.

Inside, there was a large pit, from where the creek flowed, and thick Yin Qi emitted.

Lin Tian led Ziqi to the spot, his Divine Sense reaching downward.

But before he could explore below, two voices caught his attention.

“Master! How did you get injured?”

“Don’t mention it, it’s because of the pursuit by those old bastards from Corpse Soul Mountain! I must sacrifice a Heavenly Clothes Puppet this time, or my wound won’t heal properly!”

…

Incoherent murmurs came from beneath the pit.

Ziqi didn’t hear it, but Lin Tian heard it clearly.

There’s someone below?!

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming stern.
