Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2475: Chapter 2474: Negotiation

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, Qin Huayu said helplessly, "Master Lin, if you slaughter all those martial artists, then my Qin Family will hardly have any martial artists left."

"Master Lin, why don’t we sit down and have a good talk?"

Lin Dong pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, let’s have a good talk then."

She invited Lin Dong to enter.

At this moment, the two people didn’t seem to be on the edge of drawing swords against each other, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

A moment later, the two of them arrived at the Qin Family’s council hall.

In the council hall of the Qin Family’s ancient residence, lights were blazing, illuminating two faces with varying expressions.

Lin Dong, dressed entirely in black, with eyes like torches, sat in the principal seat, emanating an aura that brooked no infringement.

Opposite him, Qin Huayu dressed in a simple moon-white long dress, her hair lightly pinned, her brows carrying a hint of bitterness and helplessness.

Who would have thought that one day, she, a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist who lived more than a hundred years, would seem weak in front of a young man in his early twenties?

The men of Qin Family at her age were as humble as dust in front of her. Each one revered her like a god.

But now, their social status has reversed.

"Master Lin, you and I both know that the enmity between the Qin Family and you resulted from a momentary lapse of our Qin Family Patriarch."

Qin Huayu’s voice was gentle yet exceptionally firm, "Regarding the actions of our Patriarch, I, Qin Qiyu, apologize to you on his behalf, and he paid with his life for it."

"But the Qin Family’s martial artists are the foundation of our clan. If they all fall, the Qin Family will be completely broken. I beg you, show mercy, spare them."

Lin Dong’s lips curled into a cold smile as a flash of indifference crossed his gaze.

"Qin Huayu, do you think an apology can offset everything? When the Qin Family Patriarch schemed against me, did he consider the consequences?"

"Moreover, I am still afflicted by his Dead Soul Curse. If I don’t find a way to break it within three months, I will join him in death."

"Do you think I would let this matter go so easily? The Qin Family must pay the price!"

His words carried undeniable authority, making the entire council hall tremble with his intonation.

Qin Huayu took a deep breath, her gaze becoming more resolute.

"Master Lin, I understand your anger, but the Qin Family cannot be destroyed just like that. I am willing to sacrifice myself for the peace of the Qin Family."

Her words conveyed a kind of tragic valor, as if she had prepared for the worst outcome.

Even if Lin Dong wanted her dead, she was willing to trade her life for the survival of the entire Qin Family.

Upon hearing her words, Lin Dong looked at her differently.

This woman, she has more courage than Qin Feng.

Qin Feng’s gifted talent might surpass hers, but his responsibility does not.

After the Qin Family Patriarch’s death, Qin Feng directly ran away, leaving the entire Qin Family unattended.

But this woman traveled thousands of miles, rushing back from the Alliance of Heavenly Realm, even risking being slaughtered by Lin Dong to preserve the Qin Family.

Indeed, she did not disgrace her identity as a member of the Alliance of Heavenly Realm!

"Master Lin, let’s change the condition. The Qin Family in Dragon Country has survived for over eight thousand years from ancient times till now and cannot fall in our generation."

"If you kill all our Qin Family’s martial artists, we will not only lose our status as the Hidden Clan but also be erased from the Martial World Family and martial arts family."

"Change the condition, whatever it is, I am willing to agree!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong’s eyes narrowed slightly as if contemplating something.

"Very well, since you are so sincere, I will give you an opportunity. However, you must unconditionally accept my condition."

Qin Huayu felt a tightness in her heart but maintained a calm surface. "Please speak."

"First, Qin Qiyu must die! This woman and her daughter Xiao Sisi, for what they did to Yitian, are unforgivable. Yitian spared her out of family regard, but I do not care for such considerations." Lin Dong’s voice was cold and devoid of emotion.

"If she is hard to kill, I will help in killing her!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qiyu slowly nodded, "I agree."

Once she finished speaking, she instructed someone to bring Qin Qiyu.

Qin Qiyu, now hiding in the Qin Family, was caught shortly after.

Once captured, she trembled with fear.

Lin Dong’s gaze fell on her, so cold that she felt surrounded by the Nine Nether Darkness.

In that instant, she felt as if her soul was about to leave her body.

"Spare me, spare me! I’m Yitian’s aunt, don’t kill me!" she pleaded while trembling.

Lin Dong looked at her as if looking at an ant.

He said blandly, "You still remember, you are Yitian’s aunt?"

"Why then, did you treat her like that before? Your and your daughter’s actions forced her to death. Absolutely unforgivable!"

After saying this, a flame flew directly from his eyes.

That flame was Buddha Lotus!

"No..." Qin Qiyu screamed in terror upon seeing the flame shooting from Lin Dong’s eyes.

Then she attempted to climb up and escape.

However, it was all in vain.

"Boom～～" The Buddha Lotus touched her body, instantly setting her whole body ablaze.

In a flash, she turned into a pile of ashes.

Seeing this scene, no one spoke, nor did anyone sympathize with Qin Qiyu.

Qin Qiyu was just a minor character, insignificant compared to the safety of the entire Qin Family.

At this moment, Qin Huayu simply instructed, "You guys sweep the ashes away, so as not to sully Master Lin’s eyes."

Soon, someone swept away the ashes Qin Qiyu had turned into.

"Master Lin, this is just your first condition, isn’t it? If there are other conditions, please go ahead." Qin Huayu naturally knew that Lin Dong would not rest after killing a single Qin Qiyu.

He certainly had additional conditions.

Lin Dong nodded slightly and continued, "Second, Qin Yitian must become the clan chief in the mundane world of the Qin Family, and your Qin Family must fully assist him to become the true leader."

Qin Qiyu heard this, her eyes flickered with complex emotions, both hope for Qin Yitian’s future and helplessness regarding the Qin Family’s fate.

But since Qin Yitian was also a member of the Qin Family, she didn’t hesitate long before agreeing to Lin Dong’s condition.

"I accept this condition as well. However, the Qin Family is complex internally, and Yitian might find it difficult to gain everyone’s obedience by himself," Qin Huayu said.

Lin Dong seemed to have anticipated her concerns, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

"Therefore, there’s a third condition. Your Qin Family must select a few Ninth Level Grandmasters to swallow my Gu worms. These Gu worms will not harm their lives but enhance their strength. However, they must be absolutely loyal to Qin Yitian; otherwise, life or death will be at my discretion."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qiyu, though deeply reluctant in her heart, understood that this was the only feasible solution currently.

She remained silent for a moment before slowly nodding, "On behalf of the Qin Family, I agree to your conditions."
