Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 869: Chapter 869 Not Favored

Time flew, and two days passed.

During these two days, he had been immersed in the world of sword cultivation.

It wasn’t until a phone call that he snapped out of this sword-nurturing trance.

This phone call, indeed, was the one previously scheduled for the transaction.

Previously, a martial artist had arranged to sell him Heavenly and Earthly treasures, and today was the day of the transaction.

Lin Dong wrapped the wooden sword, carved from peach wood, in a piece of black cloth and slung it over his shoulder before heading for the Demon City Grand Hotel.

Today, the number of martial artists at the Demon City Grand Hotel had significantly dwindled, but there were still quite a few. The appearance of Lin Dong naturally sparked a heated discussion once again.

Of course, this time the discussions were mostly about his annihilation of the Yinghua Merchants and the matter involving Yagyu Ittovine.

”Master Lin, those Yinghua Merchants were running amok in our Demon City, and you’ve truly done us a huge favor by extinguishing them,” Han Qianshan from the Demon City Han Family said loudly.

He had suffered bullying by the Yinghua Merchants before and had been scammed by them. Even though he was a Sect Master, he had to swallow his pride and endure.

Now that he had learned that Master Lin had wiped out the Yinghua Merchants, he loudly expressed his approval.

Many others also applauded in agreement.

”Those people from the Yinghua Merchants, relying on their connections with some Major forces in our Dragon Country, took advantage of those benefits to bleed us dry. It was high time to get rid of them!”

”Master Lin did a splendid job this time!”

”It’s just that Master Lin, by wiping out the Yinghua Merchants, you’ve completely offended the Martial Arts World of Yinghua Country. Even Yagyu Ittovine has made a statement, threatening to come to Dragon Country to kill you personally.”

”You need to be careful during this period.”

”It might be best to temporarily avoid the limelight.”

”Wait, what are you talking about upstairs? Suggesting that Master Lin should act like a shrinking turtle?”

”No, I’m not suggesting that Master Lin act like a shrinking turtle, just that he temporarily avoids the limelight. Master Lin is just over twenty years old, while that Yagyu Ittovine, that old grandson, is already in his sixties or seventies. If Master Lin retreats for just ten years, he would still have spent less time cultivating than him. When he battles him then, it’ll still be after giving him decades of a head start.”

”Exactly, that’s not being a shrinking turtle. It’s just temporary endurance.”

”A peerless genius like Master Lin, if he really were killed by Yagyu Ittovine, it would be our Dragon Country’s loss.”

”...”

Clearly, in the eyes of these ’Lin Alliance’ members, even though they were followers of Lin Dong, they had already come to believe that Master Lin would not be a match for Yagyu Ittovine.

They couldn’t imagine Master Lin beating Yagyu Ittovine.

Their thoughts like this are not surprising, mainly because the reputation of Yagyu Ittovine was formidable.

He was already that terrifying fifteen years ago, let alone fifteen years later.

Some even speculated on the Martial Arts Dark Web that Yagyu Ittovine’s strength was comparable to one of the Five Elders of the Dragon Country Martial Arbiters.

Even one of the Five Elders might not be his opponent.

Hearing everyone’s remarks, Lin Dong said nothing.

He was nurturing his sword.

In sword cultivation, the focus is on nurturing.

Before drawing the sword, there was nothing worth saying.

Soon, he waited for the person to arrive for the transaction.

With three Nine Revolutions pills, Lin Dong traded for the Heavenly Material that the person had in possession.

After the exchange, Lin Dong, without saying a word, just left directly.

Seeing this scene, everyone began to speculate once again.

”Master Lin seems a bit strange, why didn’t he say anything?”

”Could it be that he’s scared?”

”When I’m under a lot of pressure, I also don’t like to speak, just like him.”

”Could it be that Master Lin is also not confident in himself?”

”...”

Lin Dong’s silence while nurturing his sword was interpreted by the onlookers as a lack of confidence.

In fact, in the Martial Arts Dark Web, there emerged a group of people betting against Lin Dong.
