Chapter 68: Regaining That Old Feeling
Lin Wudao frowned.
“Qinglian Sect, Zhao Gou!”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
He then pulled out a dossier detailing Zhao Gou’s life.
Especially when he saw Zhao Gou’s infamous method—whoever he touched ended up dead—he couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.
“This method!”
Lin Wudao took a deep breath.
But gradually, he felt more determined.
This misfortune of his had something to do with Zhao Gou.
Because the Golden Core must undergo tribulation.
But why didn’t Zhao Gou have to face it?
No, he did undergo tribulation.
Damn it, he had emptied his savings to help that guy cross the tribulation!
But regarding the Qinglian Sect…
That was a tricky situation.
Others might not know about the ins and outs of Qinglian Sect, but Lin Wudao was well aware.
The Qinglian Sect was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Without evidence, he couldn’t directly confront them about Zhao Gou.
But he had to vent his frustration.
Moreover, that Zhao Gou must die.
Because this was just about the Golden Core.
If Zhao Gou didn’t die, and he somehow cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, was he going to help him cross another tribulation then?
Thinking this way, Lin Wudao spoke directly.
“Find a chance to bring Zhao Gou before me.”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
……
……
Meanwhile, Zhao Gou, now promoted to Golden Core, stared blankly at the sky.
Even now, he found it hard to believe that he had advanced to Golden Core so easily.
He didn’t even use the formation or treasures he had prepared.
What puzzled Zhao Gou the most was that when he first advanced to Golden Core, there had been a thunder tribulation.
But somehow, that thunder tribulation seemed to have heard a call and ran off.
It felt like there was something urgent!
Which was pretty ridiculous.
“Why am I different? Did the thunder tribulation just bail on me mid-way?”
Zhao Gou was a bit confused.
“Could it be my good deeds in saving lives granted me some merit? So, the thunder tribulation found an excuse to skip out?”
Zhao Gou speculated.
However, it didn’t seem to matter.
After all, he was already a Golden Core now.
With his cultivation level boosted, Zhao Gou was extremely excited.
In fact, he felt that with his enhanced ability, he wouldn’t run into any more accidents while practicing medicine.
He decided to give it a shot.
Then, Zhao Gou went straight down the mountain.
Being an elder meant he had the freedom to roam.
……
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Gou was in an excellent mood.
In these three days, he proved once again that none of those previous deaths were related to his medical skills.
Because he had saved countless people recently.
His medical cultivation became even stronger after reaching the Golden Core!
For minor ailments, all he had to do was stand there, and the sickness would vanish.
For complicated cases, a small effort from him would cure the ailments entirely!
Zhao Gou felt wonderful inside.
He was experiencing that sensation of healing the world once again.
“I’ve finally validated myself again!”
Zhao Gou was so excited he nearly teared up.
Suddenly, he found himself at the edge of a deserted cliff.
Looking around to ensure no one was nearby, Zhao Gou shouted, “I am not the death doctor… woo woo woo…”
Before he could finish his sentence, someone shoved a talisman in his mouth.
Then, he was enveloped in a large storage bag.
After being tackled down, the bag was sealed shut.
Finally, he was directly carried away by two people.
……
……
Inside Jing Shui City.
Lin Wudao sat weakly in a wheelchair, wrapped in blankets, with a warm stove in his arms.
In front of him lay two individuals, Cao Linyuan and Chen Dahai.
“Did these two also die under the thunder tribulation?”
The Shadow Guard pushing the wheelchair nodded.
“Yes, even though there was no thunder, the charred wounds on them were definitely from a thunder tribulation!”
Lin Wudao’s eyes shifted slightly.
He then looked at Lu Cheng, who was as weak as he was.
“Tell me, what did it feel like?”
After catching his breath, Lu Cheng panted, “I was just selling things normally when suddenly, I felt a massive hit on my body—it was like being electrocuted!”
“I sensed something was wrong and frantically consumed healing pills and stabilized my cultivation. It was only after exhausting a fortune that I managed to survive.”
Lin Wudao nodded.
“Did you feel cold?”
Lu Cheng: “???”
“It’s all good now!”
He tightened the blankets around himself again.
Then Lin Wudao glanced at the Shadow Guard.
“Is Zhao Gou captured yet?”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
“Where is he?”
“In the backyard! But considering he managed to have you help him with his tribulation, I didn’t dare to do anything drastic!”
Lin Wudao nodded.
“You did well, take me to see him!”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
Then, he pushed Lin Wudao to the backyard.
——————
Zhao Gou looked pale.
This chapter isn’t over; please click the next page to continue reading!
Because he saw the backyard filled with gruesome decorations made from severed heads.
And there were some eerie things stitched together with human skin that he couldn’t even identify.
He looked at the bizarre assembly, realizing it was both grotesque and fascinating.
Zhao Gou was trembling all over.
He was a Golden Core powerhouse now!
But even so, he had been silently abducted here.
Just how powerful was this person behind this?
Moreover, Zhao Gou realized something.
This definitely wasn’t the work of the Heavenly God Sect.
Given how much they hated him, if he were captured by them, he’d probably be turned into a blood puppet by now.
But since it wasn’t the Heavenly God Sect, Zhao Gou felt even more melancholic.
“Who the hell did I offend? Why are enemies lurking everywhere?”
“It makes no sense, not to mention those Heavenly God Sect spies I inadvertently took out—those were accidental kills, but how could my good deeds turn into enemies everywhere I go?”
Zhao Gou was feeling quite despondent.
“Creak~”
Just then, the door to the courtyard creaked open.
Zhao Gou nervously looked over.
And what he saw was unbelievable.
The lord of Jing Shui City, and why on earth was he carrying a stove and wrapped in blankets on such a hot day?!
That wasn’t the main issue.
The main issue was how weak the lord looked and why he was grabbing him!
Lin Wudao glanced at Zhao Gou, then at the abominable scene in his backyard, smiling warmly, “These are all my enemies, those who wanted to harm me. So, when dealing with those who wish to harm me, I turn them into art!”
Pausing a moment, Lin Wudao looked at Zhao Gou.
“So, let’s skip the formalities! I could make this less painful for you.”
Zhao Gou: “???”
“Skip the formalities about what?”
Lin Wudao’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Hehe, keep pretending, will you?”
At that moment, Lin Wudao chuckled.
“Since you’re unwilling to cooperate, I’ll have to resort to some special methods!”
Lin Wudao glanced at the Shadow Guard.
The Shadow Guard paused for a second.
“But, my lord!”
“Do it!”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
“Yes!”
Then, Zhao Gou’s desperate screams echoed throughout…
