Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1749: Chapter 1748: Confronting the Old Patriarch of Lin Family

At this moment, Lin Dong ascended from the foot of the mountain.

He started casually, as if strolling, but after a few steps, his feet floated in the void.

In the void, stairways made of clouds appeared out of nowhere. Lin Dong stepped onto the clouds as though ascending a Stairway to Heaven.

Initially, his strides were small, each step spanning only a few meters.

After a few more steps, his stride grew to tens of meters, then hundreds of meters.

Very quickly, his figure arrived mid-air, level with the peak of the mountain.

”Awooo～～～” Suddenly, a golden dragon illusion flew out from Lin Dong’s body.

Internal Qi transforming into a dragon, soaring through the nine heavens!

The wealthy tycoon who had earlier spoken recklessly, claiming that Lin Dong was nothing special, saw this sight and trembled with fear.

He finally realized how ignorant his earlier words had been!

Such a mighty existence—how could he, a mere tycoon, compare? How could ten billion worth of heavy weaponry from his mouth possibly destroy such a being?

Lin Dong naturally paid no attention to him. At this moment, Lin Dong’s gaze turned toward the First Peak.

He looked toward his adversary this time—the King Kunlun!

At the same time, he also looked toward the Lin family’s Old Patriarch!

Although Lin Dong had already come to the Capital City before and stayed there for a long time, this was his first time seeing the Old Patriarch of the Lin family.

His own grandmother!

From start to finish, he couldn’t understand one thing!

Why did his father, Lin Zhantian, and Lin Zhankun, who were both her sons, get treated so differently?

Why did he and Lin Tiance, both her grandsons, receive such incredibly disparate treatment?

For Lin Tiance, she had been willing to extract his bone marrow, drain his fresh blood, and use his life to save Lin Tiance.

All of this—was it merely favoritism?

Lin Dong gritted his teeth, his eyes now bloodshot. His gaze locked tightly onto the Old Patriarch of the Lin family.

The Old Patriarch of the Lin family stood beside King Kunlun, on the summit of the First Peak, her face adorned with a benevolent smile akin to a Bodhisattva.

Her gaze also fell on Lin Dong.

”You resemble Zhantian greatly—your nose, your eyes. Of course, what resembles him the most is your personality, along with that unmatched martial talent,” said the Old Patriarch of the Lin family gently, gazing at Lin Dong.

She spoke as if an elder affectionately conversing with her grandson.

But Lin Dong knew well the venom hidden beneath her smile.

Staring at her, Lin Dong voiced the question he could never understand:

”Old Patriarch of the Lin family, why—why did you treat me and my father this way twenty years ago?”

”My father and Lin Zhankun are both your sons. Why were you so biased?”

”I and Lin Tiance are both your grandsons. Why did you extract my bone marrow and drain my fresh blood to replace his? Why?”

As Lin Dong asked these questions, his features twisted with rage.

He truly could not comprehend why his grandmother treated him and his father so cruelly!

The Old Patriarch of the Lin family leaned on her walking stick and, after a pause, slowly replied, ”If Lin Zhantian were truly my biological son, if you were truly my biological grandson, how could I have treated you this way?”

”I am not senile. Lin Zhantian’s martial talent surpasses Zhankun’s by countless measures. If he were truly my son, how could I have favored Zhankun over him? How could I have singled him out for harsh treatment?”

”If you were truly my grandson, with such martial talent as yours, how could I not take a liking to you?”

”How could I, with such a martial genius as yourself, extract your marrow and your blood to replace Tiance’s?”

”All of this—you can blame only one thing: Lin Zhantian is not my biological son, and you are not my biological grandson!”

”Lin Zhantian was merely adopted by my husband as a foster son. He has no blood relation to the Lin family.”

”You, too, have no blood relation to the Lin family from the Capital City!”

The Old Patriarch of the Lin family spoke with a calm tone as she revealed this secret.

This matter was known only to a select few among those present.

People like King Kunlun and Ye Qingcang.

Even Lin Tiance was unaware at this point.

However, as her words came forth, even Lin Tiance was visibly shaken.

Lin Tiance’s expression kept shifting.

”So, Lin Zhantian isn’t my biological uncle!”

”And Lin Dong isn’t my biological cousin either!”

”I used to think that grandmother favored me because I was the chosen one. But I was wrong—so wrong.”

”Grandmother’s actions twenty years ago—extracting Lin Dong’s marrow and draining his blood for me—weren’t out of favoring me as the chosen one. It’s simply because Lin Dong isn’t her biological grandson!”

”So, am I truly the chosen one, Lin Tiance?” Lin Tiance clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms as blood flowed from them. He didn’t care.

This truth was hard for Lin Tiance to accept. It suggested the idea of being the ’chosen one’ may have been nothing more than a lie told by his grandmother.

He might not be the chosen one at all! His grandmother didn’t even favor him as much as he had believed; her actions twenty years ago were driven merely by the fact that Lin Dong wasn’t her biological grandson!

If Lin Dong had been her biological grandson, perhaps she would have only favored him!

After all, Lin Dong was far more remarkable than he was!

At this moment, Lin Dong heard the words of the Old Patriarch of the Lin family. He froze for a moment, then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

”So that’s how it is!” Knowing this truth, Lin Dong felt unexpectedly unburdened.

To be honest, if his biological grandmother had treated him like this, it would have plunged him into doubting the depths of human nature’s ugliness. If even one’s biological grandmother wanted one’s life, how could he believe in the existence of true affection in the world?

This kind of thinking would have hindered his Heart of a Martial Artist.

But at this moment, upon discovering she wasn’t his biological grandmother, the shackles binding Lin Dong’s Heart of a Martial Artist broke apart instantly.

At the same time, his quest for revenge no longer had any psychological obstacles!

”Old Patriarch of the Lin family, everything you did to me twenty years ago—to me and my family—I, Lin Dong, as long as I live, will come for revenge against you!”

”In this lifetime, I swear I will kill you and destroy the Lin family!”

Lin Dong glared coldly at the Old Patriarch of the Lin family, the killing intent in his eyes erupting at this moment. A several-hundred-meter-wide black fog enveloped Lin Dong entirely—that was the external release of the ’Killing Intent Domain.’

”Boom!!” Supported by an unyielding rage and boundless killing intent, the murderous aura soared upwards, dyeing the heavens and earth in darkness!

”Rumble!!” Thunder burst forth, descending like a doomsday calamity.

The wealthy tycoon who had previously spoken recklessly and insulted Lin Dong was frightened nearly to the point of losing his soul upon witnessing this sight.

”Is this even a human? This is truly—Ghost God!!”

The Old Patriarch of the Lin family, upon hearing Lin Dong’s declaration of vengeance, replied indifferently, ”You want to kill me? Destroy the Lin family? There is no chance!”

”Today marks your time to die!”
