Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 712 - 690: The Queen of Yin Gu
Chapter 712: Chapter 690: The Queen of Yin Gu
Entering the villa led to a large open space where, at that moment, a number of elegantly dressed individuals had gathered. Many familiar faces appeared within Tangyu’s line of sight. These people, all standing obediently, had become prisoners at the steps. Around them, numerous men in black stood guard. As soon as Tangyu appeared, a flurry of gazes immediately shot towards him, and those night guards each drew their guns, aiming at Tangyu, ready to fill him with bullets at a single command.
Tangyu’s gaze swept coldly across them, yet he paid them no heed. First, his gaze moved across the people gathered on the open ground. There were over thirty people taken by the Yin Medical Sect, including all of the Five Young Masters of Donglin, none of whom were missing. Of the four great beauties, only two were present: the Enchantress from the Fairy Palace and the Queen from Heavenly Court. The Enchantress from the Nine-Tailed Fox Palace still remained a mystery and did not show. Naturally, Doctor Xiao from Bi Yue Pavilion would not appear.
Besides these seven, there were also others: the reckless Sun Wukong, the wicked Liu Dingyang, the devilish Feng Chen, and the wise Zhenyan were all present.
Of course, there were other people, individuals Tangyu knew of but was not very familiar with. Each one was a prominent figure in Donglin City. Tangyu noticed one particular trait—all those captured were the leading youth of Donglin City, but not a single true bigwig of the city was present. However, these thirty-plus individuals already made up the top power tier of Donglin City’s upper society. Simply by controlling these people, one could fully control the powers behind them. In fact, more than half of these individuals already held significant control over their respective behind-the-scenes powers.
Controlling these people essentially meant controlling the lifeline of Donglin City.
Tangyu’s eyes shifted suddenly when he spotted a figure among the crowd: "Su Yaoji, how did she get captured?" Next to Su Yaoji stood Hu Xing, and their gazes also landed on Tangyu. Although he had few dealings with Su Yaoji, Tangyu was profoundly impressed by this fairy. Moreover, because of Su Yaoji, some friction had arisen with Hu Xing. The Su Family had already captured Su Bachang; why had they captured Su Yaoji as well? This was something Tangyu could not quite understand.
However, there was not much time for Tangyu to ponder these matters, as he suddenly felt a terrifying aura assaulting him, causing his heart to jump and he immediately became alert. His eyes swiftly swept over and saw a group of people appearing before him with a domineering air. The two leading figures were a strange-looking old man, obviously the Master of Yin, exuding an aura of Yin energy, much like a demon. His sinister gaze was incredibly frightening— a glance from him could scare someone half to death, and that gaze also possessed a terrifying attack power. Being looked at with that gaze felt like being targeted by the grim reaper.
Accompanying the Master of Yin was a dignified-looking woman, akin to a queen. Although she appeared to be in her sixties, she gave off the impression of being only in her forties or fifties. Time had not left many traces of hardship on her. Though royal in appearance, her gaze was exceedingly sharp, like an incredibly sharp sword, and although not as creepy as the Master of Yin’s, it was still too intimidating for one to look at directly.
This woman was clearly the Gu Queen. Tangyu had long heard of her from his master, the Ghost Doctor, but he had not expected her to join forces with the Master of Yin and willingly serve him.
Following them were four Poisonous People, who looked like four demons, with green faces and sharp teeth, immensely terrifying, each hideously ferocious and devoid of any human emotion—they were the most fearsome weapons for killing. Though called people, they were no longer considered human, but rather weapons.
Seeing these four Poisonous People, Tangyu’s heart skipped a beat, sensing danger. This made him frown. He had previously fought against four Poisonous People at Bi Yue Pavilion, and at that time, he was merely at the Great Grandmaster Realm. Now, with the strength of the Innate Realm, his perspective was much broader. If he were to face those four Poisonous People again, Tangyu could easily eradicate them with a mere wave of his hand, without any effort. But these four Poisonous People gave Tangyu a dangerous feeling.
Their strength was far beyond those he faced at Bi Yue Pavilion, each terrifyingly formidable. Tangyu even felt that each Poisonous Person’s strength might not be inferior to his own.
Considering this possibility, Tangyu was profoundly shocked, like thunder exploding in his mind. He was in the Innate Realm, having transcended the ordinary bounds and reached a state in the Ancient Martial World. But these four Poisonous People also reached such a level?
If that was truly the case, the means of the Master of Yin were too terrifying, being able to refine the Poisonous People to such a dreadful extent, and refining four of them at once.
Tangyu’s gaze also turned ice-cold, staring intently at the Master of Yin. The faintest aura emanating from the Master of Yin startled Tangyu. He vaguely sensed that the Master of Yin’s strength might also be in the Innate Realm. Tangyu shook his head. It seemed that the worst-case scenario had still occurred, even exceeding his expectations. The Master of Yin was indeed in the Innate Realm, and it seemed he had reached it long ago. How could he, who had just recently been promoted, contend with the Master of Yin?
Moreover, what about those four Poisonous People that even Tangyu was somewhat wary of?
Although Tangyu was full of ambition and indomitable spirit, the situation before him was so dire that his expression became extremely grave. It seemed he needed to reassess and seize the moment anew.
This battle was going to be much more difficult than he had imagined.
"So what if the opponent is strong? So what if the situation has exceeded my expectations? All obstacles must be eradicated by me. Nothing can stop my forward march. Not for the world’s people, only for what my heart desires." With unwavering faith, Tangyu faced this situation head-on, refusing to be disheartened. Instead, it only fueled his will to fight more fiercely.
The villa’s doors were shut tight, encircling Tangyu completely. He sensed several presences from hidden spots around the villa, clearly dangerous assassins lying in wait. However, with Yu Lingtian’s Xuanwu Group outside restraining these assassins, the assassins didn’t dare to attack him rashly, knowing well that it would give the Xuanwu Group an opportunity to break through.
At that moment, Tangyu was also trapped within enemy lines, surrounded by nearly a hundred assassins. The assassins were divided into two groups, one smaller group likely belonging to Jiang Zhentian, while the other was probably cultivated by the Yin Medical Sect’s master. All of them emanated a faint aura of gloom.
Here, it was simply an ironclad fortress, impossible to enter or escape from.
Xiao Yu and his several dozen men could only stand there and watch everything unfold, daring not make a move. From their expressions, Tangyu could tell they had been poisoned, likely with the Yin Medical Sect master’s Myriad Poison Heart-Devouring Pill, and were now under his control.
"Humph, those two traitors truly deserve to die. I should not have been merciful. Killing them would have settled matters," the Gu Doctor huffed coldly, obviously aware that the information had been relayed to Tangyu by Hu Yanfei.
For the Gu Doctor, Tangyu had not a shred of fondness; this old witch was indeed cruel, sparing not even her own two disciples, truly a viper at heart.
The master of the Yin Medical Sect gave a chilling smile, his gaze playfully falling on Tangyu as if he had already seen through him. "So, you are that old ghost’s undying disciple?"
"Indeed, it’s me," Tangyu responded firmly, facing the Yin Medical Sect master without showing weakness.
"Humph, humph. That old ghost has spent his entire life hiding in the mountains, too scared to come out, yet he sends a disciple to die in his place. Old ghost, oh old ghost, after all these years, your cowardly nature hasn’t changed. You only know how to hide. Your medical skills are mediocre at best, but unfortunately, you’re brainless. Why come to your own demise? I’ll give you a chance, call your master here. You, alone, are hardly qualified to speak with me," the Yin Medical Sect master coldly laughed with disdain, looking down upon Tangyu from a superior stance.
Indeed, in his presence, Tangyu was merely a junior.
After all, the master of the Yin Medical Sect was also a fellow disciple of the Ghost Doctor, technically even his senior brother.
Tangyu curled his lip and said, "My master lives a carefree life, like clouds and wild cranes. He once said he would never leave Ghost Doctor Valley in his lifetime. I alone am enough to deal with you."
"Humph, insolence, barefaced arrogance. A mere youth daring to be so disrespectful, truly glib. Shortly, I will cut out your tongue," the Yin Medical Sect master did not get angry, but the Gu Doctor at his side pointed at Tangyu angrily, hissing coldly, her eyes casting a venomous look like a poisonous snake.
Tangyu got angry too. He had been holding back a stomach full of fury towards the Gu Doctor, and naturally did not hold it back now, snorting coldly, "I’m afraid you, the Gu Doctor, don’t have the ability. Though your Gu Medical Sect may not be considered a very reputable sect, it has never done harm to the common folk. Yet you broke this precedent. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to face your ancestors in the Gu Medical Sect after you die? You’ve brought about your own isolation through your actions, haven’t you learned anything from it? I truly feel sad for you, and I feel it’s unjust for Doctor Xiao and Hu Yanfei, having a master like you. Breaking off the master-disciple relationship with you was indeed the wisest decision they made."
"You insolent brat, you’re courting death!" The Gu Doctor flew into a rage, swinging her hand and sending dozens of Gu insects flying toward Tangyu.
The Gu Doctor truly exploded in anger. The matters concerning Doctor Xiao and Hu Yanfei also infuriated her. Her most beloved and obedient disciples had successively defied and betrayed her. And all this trouble started because of Tangyu, whom she had long hated to the bone, wishing she could flay him alive and drink his blood. Now being verbally abused so bluntly by Tangyu naturally provoked her to a rage, making her want to kill him to vent her anger. She, the revered Gu Doctor, when had she ever been insulted like this?
And by such a young boy at that, a challenge to her dignity as the Gu Doctor that naturally warranted his death.
Yet Tangyu was as calm as a light breeze or floating clouds. With a casual grab, he crushed those dozen Gu insects into dust, killing them instantly. Tossing them aside, he scoffed, "Gu Doctor, is that all the skill you have? If that’s all your skill, you’re not even fit to scratch my itch, let alone boast about killing me. It seems you’ve become senile; perhaps it’s time for you to retire and go home."
Tangyu was indeed provoking the Gu Doctor. With the situation escalated to this point, there was no room for reconciliation. Since a battle was inevitable, there was no fear in burning bridges.
"Very well, very well, what a sharp-tongued little rascal. Let’s see how you die soon," the Gu Doctor wanted to rage, but seeing the glance from the Yin Medical Sect master beside her, she managed to calm down.
