Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1715: Chapter 1714: Blood Earl

At the moment, Lin Dong was treading on the sea, looking at the shore of the East Sea filled with people who had come to greet him, and he was somewhat speechless.

Why make such a big array for what.

At this moment, he instinctively looked towards Li Zhaixing next to him, with a bit of blame in his eyes. It was as if he was saying:

”Senior Li, look at the fine mess you’ve caused.”

Previously, Lin Dong had planned to return to the country keeping a low profile. He never intended to reveal his whereabouts.

But it was revealed by Li Zhaixing, hence this scene unfolded.

At this moment, Li Zhaixing carried an air of pretentiousness, hands behind his back, speaking to Old Dong who led these people: ”Dong Tiancheng, how come you’re only welcoming young friend Lin? What about me?”

Old Dong coughed dryly, knowing well the character of Li Zhaixing.

With a forced laugh, he said: ”Senior Li Zhaixing, naturally, we are here to welcome you together.”

Despite being stronger than Li Zhaixing, he still addressed the other as senior.

Primarily because, when Old Dong was young, Li Zhaixing already had the appearance of an elder, and now, after so long, he remains the same.

Even Old Dong was puzzled, just who was Li Zhaixing?

How could he remain unchanged for hundreds of years, consistently at the peak of half-step Earth Realm martial artist strength?

Logically, that shouldn’t be the case.

Towards Li Zhaixing, he also maintained the respect one would have for an elder.

Li Zhaixing nodded indifferently.

At this moment, Lin Dong had already moved from above the sea to the land of the coast.

”Lin, the Head, how about going to the East Sea Martial Arts Arbitrator Alliance Branch for a meal later? I’ve already asked their people to prepare a banquet,” Old Dong said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Lun was incredibly excited, his eyes firmly fixed on Lin Dong, waiting for his response.

Seeing so many people had come a long way to greet him, Lin Dong felt it wouldn’t be proper to simply walk away.

This would cool everyone’s enthusiasm.

Therefore, Lin Dong nodded and laughingly said: ”Okay, I’ll treat for this meal.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Lun hurriedly said: ”Master Lin, I am the person in charge of the East Sea Martial Arts Arbitrator Alliance Branch.”

”Please allow me, as the host, an opportunity to treat everyone to a meal.”

”No matter what, we cannot let Master Lin pay. Otherwise, it would be a huge disgrace for me as the host.”

Seeing this, Lin Dong laughingly said: ”That’s also fine.”

Lin Dong thought to himself, he would give a medicinal pill to the host of this East Sea region in return.

Zhang Lun, seeing Lin Dong agree, was overjoyed.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but think: ”Master Lin is really easy to talk to.”

He was just about to invite all the martial arts colleagues and business tycoons, powerful elites who had come to welcome Master Lin, to the meal.

However, at this moment, he saw that Master Lin in front of him suddenly turned his gaze towards the west over the sea.

In his eyes, a terrifyingly fierce gleam shot forth.

His momentum also suddenly emerged.

Following that, Lin Dong’s voice was heard in the direction of the west: ”This Ninth Stage Earth Realm Grandmaster martial artist, where do you hail from? What brings you to my Dragon Country’s sea territory?”

Hum!!!

As soon as Lin Dong spoke, everyone at the scene was in shock.

Including Old Dong.

They all began to look in the direction Lin Dong was looking and saw a red sunset suspending above the sea surface in that sea area.

And beneath that red sunset at sea, there was a man in red armor with a Western face, approaching from the sea.

Seeing this person, Old Dong couldn’t help but exclaim: ”This is the Blood Earl, formerly number 10 on the God Rankings and now number 9!”

”Why has he come?”

As soon as these words were spoken, someone said: ”Before the competition between Lin, the Head and Qingye Sanzang, the Blood Earl once declared that no matter who won, he would come and challenge the victor!”

”To claim the position of number 9 on the God Rankings!”

”The official God Rankings probably didn’t want to let the Blood Earl issue such a challenge for this reason, so after Lin, the Head slaughtered Qingye Sanzang, they adjusted the order of the God Rankings.”

”They moved the Blood Earl, who was previously ranked 10th, directly to the 9th position. And placed Lin, the Head, in the 10th position!”

Upon hearing this, another person said: ”Now that the Blood Earl has already gotten the God Rankings position he desired, rising from 10th to 9th, why has he come now?”

”Yeah, what’s he here for?”

At this moment, Lin Dong’s gaze intertwined with that of the other person.

The other party is also a Ninth Stage Grandmaster, comparable in strength to Qingye Sanzang. However, Lin Dong, having absorbed the Dragon Qi and ascended to become a Ninth Stage Grandmaster himself, felt that he could slay the Blood Earl without even unsheathing his Yangxin Sword.

But even he was curious, what was the purpose of the Blood Earl’s visit?

Now, on the God Rankings, the Blood Earl has already obtained the 9th place as he wished. And Lin Dong is the 10th, there’s no need for him to challenge him anymore, right?

With each step spanning several kilometers, the Blood Earl quickly closed the distance to just a few kilometers from Lin Dong, then he spoke to Lin Dong:

”Master Lin, today I, the Blood Earl, have come to challenge you!”

Hearing this, Lin Dong replied: ”You are now number 9 on the God Rankings, and I am number 10, there’s really no need for you to challenge me?”

”I am not particularly interested in these rankings of the God Rankings. Whether it’s the 9th or the 10th position, it doesn’t matter to me. In fact, I don’t even care if I’m on the God Rankings or not.”

Hearing this, the Blood Earl responded: ”You may not care, but I do!”

”I take the rankings of the God Rankings very seriously!”

”Then you should be even less inclined to challenge me, you’ve already secured the 9th place on the God Rankings!” Lin Dong said, even more perplexed.

Since he values the ranking so highly, and he’s now in 9th place, why would he challenge Lin Dong?

If he were to lose, the God Rankings positions of the two of them could potentially be reversed.

”It’s precisely because I value it that I must challenge you. Only by truly defeating you do I deserve the 9th place on the God Rankings!”

”Not like now, where I’ve been arranged by the God Rankings. What right do they have to rank me ahead of you?”

”You defeated Qingye Sanzang, who was ranked 9th, so it should be you who is the rightful number 9 on the God Rankings, not me, who was previously number 10!”

”Therefore, I have to seek a battle with you!”

”If I win, then I’ll rightfully and peacefully accept the 9th position!”

”But if I lose, then this 9th position truly belongs to you and not to me!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong understood.

It was the first time he had heard of someone ranked higher on the God Rankings taking the initiative to challenge someone ranked lower.

Being arranged ahead by the God Rankings, he’s actually not pleased?

He feels like he has taken undue advantage!

He desires a truly fair ranking, not one that’s arranged by the God Rankings.

Lin Dong then said: ”Okay, in that case, let’s have a sparring match. But there’s no need for this competition to go to the extent of a life-and-death duel, right?”

The Blood Earl nodded, ”In this battle, when a point is scored, that will be enough. Let me see just how strong you really are!”
