Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2521: Chapter 2520

"The Heart Speech Flower, indeed a precious thing. Deep within this Blood-Colored Forbidden Zone, there’s a hidden garden guarded by ancient runes, where the Heart Speech Flower grows. However, reaching there isn’t an easy task."

The Thunder God heard this and curled his lips into a mysterious smile, as if he had already seen through Lin Dong’s thoughts.

Lin Dong’s eyes gleamed even brighter upon hearing this, "Senior Thunder God, if possible, could you guide me to that hidden garden to pick the Heart Speech Flower?"

The Thunder God laughed heartily, his voice bold and unrestrained. "Of course, Little Heavenly Friend. Since we’re companions on this journey, we should naturally support each other."

"However, I must remind you, that area is very dangerous. Besides those fierce Blood Shadow Wolves and unknown formations, there are many unknown dangers hidden there."

"If the Heart Speech Flower isn’t very important to you, I think there’s no need to go."

Lin Dong’s eyes flickered as he said, "The Heart Speech Flower is very important to me. Even if that area is very dangerous, I must go."

"Please, Senior, take me there."

"Haha, alright, since that’s the case. I will take you to pick the Heart Speech Flower." The Thunder God laughed heartily once more.

With this, the two continued forward, and with the Thunder God’s familiarity with the Blood Forbidden Area, he led Lin Dong around one dangerous area after another, heading towards the legendary ’hidden garden’.

As they delved deeper into the forbidden land, the surroundings grew increasingly bizarre.

The scarlet fog thickened, as if it could devour all life force.

The surrounding trees twisted and deformed, with countless eyes seemingly watching from between their branches and leaves.

But neither Lin Dong nor the Thunder God showed any fear; both were Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, and these seductive illusions and spiritual influences could not sway their Tao hearts.

Lin Dong continued his slightly heavy steps, closely following the tall figure of the Thunder God.

At the moment, the Thunder God was like a guiding lighthouse, allowing him to find a thread of direction in the vast fog.

Yet Lin Dong’s intuition told him that perhaps all this was not as simple as it seemed.

As the two delved further into this dark land, shrouded by ancient and mysterious auras, the air around them seemed to solidify, with only the occasional distant roar reminding them that this was no benevolent place.

Finally, a blood-colored main gate loomed before them, seemingly from ancient times, carved with complex totems, surrounded by Blood Qi, vaguely showing a Blood Dragon soaring, its momentum terrifying.

Lin Dong glanced at the blood-colored main gate, feeling a sense of anxiety.

"What is this? Why does it give me a sense of danger?" As a Spiritual Power Monk of the 35th Level, he was inherently sensitive to danger.

At that moment, the ’Spirit Force Black Lotus’ in the sea of consciousness became incredibly bright, like an alarm.

And at this moment, the Thunder God paused, turning to face Lin Dong, a fleeting, subtle emotion in his eye.

He slowly said, "The Heart Speech Flower is right behind this blood-colored main gate. It is the most precious treasure in this forbidden place. But remember, only those with a pure heart can safely pass through this gate."

With those words, he deliberately cast his gaze towards Lin Dong, as if waiting for something.

Lin Dong, upon hearing this, felt alarm bells ringing in his heart.

He knew well that in a world where strength is respected, any seemingly easy path concealed intrigues.

He observed the Thunder God without showing any emotion, noticing the slight cunning in his eyes when mentioning "pure-hearted".

Lin Dong secretly tightened his grip on his long sword, having made his decision.

He slowly approached the blood-colored main gate, every step seeming exceptionally heavy, as if bearing the weight of the world.

Just as his finger was about to touch the cold and powerful door, Lin Dong suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of danger, a fear of being completely seen through.

He swiftly turned around, his long sword like a dragon, cutting through the air, aiming directly at the Thunder God’s heart.

"Little Heavenly Friend, what are you doing? I kindly brought you to pick the Heart Speech Flower, why do you strike at me?" The Thunder God wore an ’incomprehensible’ and ’angry’ expression, questioning Lin Dong.

"Thunder God, stop pretending. This main gate is probably a trap, isn’t it? What’s truly hidden behind it? Why don’t you open this blood-colored main gate yourself?" Lin Dong’s voice was calm and firm, his eyes flashing with undeniable light.

The Thunder God’s face instantly darkened, not expecting his plan to be seen through by Lin Dong so easily.

He was first taken aback, then laughed hysterically out of anger: "Smart kid, but do you think just a bit of cleverness can escape my control?"

"I never thought of escaping, I just refuse to be a pawn on your board. No one can make me a pawn! Not even the Heavenly Way." Lin Dong coldly responded, his long sword trembling slightly, releasing waves of sword cries, seemingly warming up for the battle ahead.

"Then how did you see it?" The Thunder God suppressed his anger, replaced by deep curiosity and scrutiny.

He wanted to know what was special about this seemingly ordinary young man.

"A sense of danger, combined with a bit of understanding of human nature." Lin Dong said lightly, "You may be strong, but your eyes betray your greed and urgency. If this was truly a smooth path, why would you hasten me to go alone?"

The Thunder God heard this, his eyes flickering between stormy and fair, eventually turning into a cold chuckle: "You’re a sharp kid, but even so, you won’t leave here alive."

"How can an ordinary First Heaven Realm Martial Artist possibly escape my grasp?"

"Back then, the companion from the Alliance of Heavenly Realm who came with me to investigate the secrets of this Blood Forbidden Area, he was also a Dragon Country Warrior. But in the end, didn’t I slaughter him and then offer him to this blood gate, thus opening it..."

Here, he stopped, not saying any more.

Lin Dong, however, frowned and asked, "What do you mean? The Heavenly Realm Martial Artist from the Alliance, who traveled with you back then, was killed by you? Didn’t he die from the strangeness of this Blood Forbidden Area?"

The Thunder God said, "Knowing this merely accelerates your death!"

"Heh, since I’m destined to die anyway, Senior Thunder God, why not let me ’die with understanding’? What’s the real secret behind this blood-colored main gate? Is it truly where the Heart Speech Flower is? Why did you trick me here, making me open this blood-colored main gate?" Lin Dong spread his hands, ’playing weak’ as he asked.

The Thunder God first laughed heartily, then his face abruptly turned cold: "You brat, why would I let you ’die with understanding’?"

"I say, you’d better ’die confused’!"

With those words, his body sprang into action, his surroundings surging with Thunder Light, and in his hand appeared a giant hammer entwined with thunder.
