Immortal Doctor Expert in Urban

Chapter 718 Forbidden City



Lin Fei saw that Li Jinping and Wang Xiaofeng were not lying and knew they were telling the truth.

Only then did he continue to ask them, "Do you know which masters Duan Tianlong gathered back then to besiege Duan Mengyu and Lin Yunxiao?"

Li Jinping and Wang Xiaofeng, although puzzled about why Lin Fei would inquire about the events of Duan Mengyu and Lin Yunxiao in those years.

Yet, after exchanging a glance, Wang Jinping still truthfully said, "Young Master Lin, back then, the masters who besieged Duan Mengyu and Lin Yunxiao were numerous, about a hundred, from all over the place."

Wang Xiaofeng also nodded and said, "That's right, Duan Mengyu was Duan Xing's adopted daughter, stunningly beautiful, and Lin Yunxiao was the son of Medical Saint Lin Zheng. The couple was a perfect match with unmatched medical skills and martial arts, known as the Immortal Doctor Couple."

"Lin Yunxiao was an extraordinarily gifted talent known throughout the Huaxia Martial Arts world. At the age of twenty, he already reached Martial Venerable status, with the potential to become a Martial Saint. It was precisely because of Lin Yunxiao's extraordinary talent that Duan Xing and his son conspired to frame Lin Yunxiao and Duan Mengyu, and summoned masters from all over to attack this Immortal Doctor Couple."

Lin Fei frowned slightly, "Wang Xiaofeng, tell me, what scheme did Duan Xing and his son use to frame Lin Yunxiao and his wife?"

Wang Xiaofeng laughed coldly, with a hint of sarcasm, and said, "Back then, this Duan Xing's martial prowess was merely at the sixth or seventh level of Martial Emperor, simply incomparable to the Martial Venerable level of Lin Yunxiao."

"To obtain the Martial Saint Heart Sutra from Lin Yunxiao, he secretly poisoned the wine during a banquet when inviting Lin Yunxiao and his wife. Lin Yunxiao never expected his father-in-law to poison the wine, so he carelessly consumed the toxic drink."

"After the poison took effect, Duan Xing revealed his true colors, demanding Lin Yunxiao hand over the Martial Saint Heart Sutra. However, Lin Yunxiao, being such an extraordinarily gifted individual, even under the poison's influence, was not easily subdued. He injured Duan Xing and escaped from the Duan family with Duan Mengyu."

"Subsequently, Duan Tianlong and the masters from all over pursued them to the peak of Cloud-Entering Peak. A massive battle ensued, where Lin Yunxiao and his wife killed fifty or sixty of the masters. Finally, exhausted and poisoned, they jumped off a cliff to commit suicide."

Wang Xiaofeng looked at Lin Fei and said, "Duan Xing's scheme was cruel and cunning, but in the end, he still did not obtain the Martial Saint Heart Sutra. The masters he gathered were resentful of the Duan family for their losses, and if not for the Duan family's timely compensation with great wealth, those masters would have destroyed the Duan family."

Lin Fei said, "Do you remember exactly who those masters participating in the siege of Duan Mengyu and Lin Yunxiao were?"

Li Jinping said, "Young Master Lin, at that time, Duan Xing used Hidden Kill's forces spread across Huaxia to invite masters from the Central Plains, the Western Regions, and Islands to the Capital City, from five sects and ten clans."

Lin Fei picked up a piece of white paper and a pen from the table in front of him and said to a soldier responsible for guarding the basement, "Give the paper and pen to Li Jinping."

The soldier immediately took the paper and pen from Lin Fei and placed them on the crossbar in front of Li Jinping.

"Li Jinping, write down the names of those from the five sects and ten clans who participated in the siege of Duan Mengyu and Lin Yunxiao and are still alive today, leaving none out," said Lin Fei, looking at Li Jinping.

Lin Fei would not let those who killed his parents go unpunished, and he asked Li Jinping to write the names down so he could later seek justice.

"Yes, Young Master Lin, I'll write their names now," Li Jinping quickly replied.

Sitting next to Lin Fei, Li Guang showed a curious expression. Lin Fei's interrogation of Li Jinping and Wang Xiaofeng was entirely about Duan Mengyu and Lin Yunxiao.

Although Li Guang was only in his thirties, he had heard of the fame of Lin Yunxiao and Duan Mengyu, as well as the legend of the Immortal Doctor Couple.

He just didn't understand why Lin Fei was so concerned about Lin Yunxiao and Duan Mengyu, who were no longer alive?

After thinking it over, there was only one possibility: Lin Zheng wanted Lin Fei to avenge his son and daughter-in-law.

Half an hour later, after Li Jinping finished writing the list of masters from the five sects and ten clans, he put down the pen and said to Lin Fei, "Young Master Lin, I have finished writing."

Lin Fei nodded at the soldier, who then took the paper and pen and placed them on the table in front of Lin Fei, standing to the side without moving.

Lin Fei picked up the sheet filled with the names of masters from the five sects and ten clans and began reading it.

He found that Li Jinping wrote in great detail, not only mentioning the sect names but also indicating their geographical locations.

Furthermore, Lin Fei discovered that there were more than a dozen masters within the confines of the Capital City.

"Very good, you wrote it very thoroughly," Lin Fei nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Jinping, "With this list, I can temporarily spare your lives; however, if I find this list to be inaccurate, I can take your lives at any time."

Li Jinping and Wang Xiaofeng quickly said, "Young Master Lin, we wouldn't dare deceive you, everything we said is true."

Lin Fei replied coldly, "I reckon you wouldn't dare deceive me."

Then, Lin Fei solemnly asked, "Since you claim to be part of Hidden Kill's leadership, is the Duan family the real master behind Hidden Kill?"

Li Jinping replied, "That's right, Duan Xing is the Sect Leader of Hidden Kill, and Duan Tianlong is the Young Master of Hidden Kill."

Suddenly, as if recalling something, Li Jinping frowned and said, "However, as far as I know, Duan Xing, or Hidden Kill, is only a small organization within a massive sect that is a hundred times larger. Duan Xing, the leader of Hidden Kill, is at best a minor leader within this massive sect."

Both Lin Fei and Li Guang showed curious expressions on their faces.

Hidden Kill was already one of the top ten organization forces in Huaxia. A sect a hundred times larger than Hidden Kill must be unimaginably terrifying.

Lin Fei asked Li Jinping, "Which sect is this enormous sect you're talking about?"

However, Li Jinping shook his head in confusion and said, "I only overheard Duan Xing speaking to Duan Tianlong once, saying that Hidden Kill was only an inferior, weak force within this massive sect. Only those with Martial Venerable strength could enter the higher-level forces within this massive sect."

Lin Fei thought to himself: Who would have thought that behind Hidden Kill there lie so many unknown secrets?

But what exactly is this massive sect? Lin Fei had no way of knowing for now.

"Hmm, I've asked my fill. Next, they're yours to watch over," Lin Fei said to Li Guang, folding the list of masters from the five sects and ten clans and placing it in his pocket.

Then, Lin Fei stood up and left the underground base.

Day passed into night. In the capital city under the cover of darkness, a majestic and magnificent ancient city with millennia of history stood. This was once the Imperial Palace of an ancient empire.

Having weathered the storms of a thousand years, the Imperial Palace towered stoically within the vibrant nightscape of this international metropolis. Emperors once administered state affairs and governed the world from within the Forbidden City's hallowed halls, the vast array of palaces and pavilions stretching endlessly. In the night, it exuded grandeur, capturing the endless beauty of the ancient capital's Imperial Palace.

At this moment, in the deep silence of the night, devoid of tourists and staff, suddenly, moving figures appeared over the glazed tiles of palace after palace within the Imperial Palace.

As many as a hundred people, they flitted from eaves to eaves, moving like dragonflies skimming the water, landing and taking off on the glazed tiles of the palaces, all heading towards the most magnificent hall in the Forbidden City...
