Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1210 - 1208: The Rescuer Is the Fifth Sword Emperor!
The smile of Dongmen Buju froze on his face, and he abruptly stood up.
"What?! Escaped?! Ling Wudeng, what's going on? This is unlike you—letting a mere Lin Fan slip away. Why did you let him escape?!"
His voice exploded like thunder, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Clan Leader, it's my fault." Ling Wudeng didn't offer any excuses; after all, Lin Fan did indeed escape from his grasp, making it his responsibility.
"An apology is enough? Why didn't you pursue him?! Quickly, go and bring Lin Fan back. I want to see his head today."
However.
Ling Wudeng did not reply, nor did he move.
He stood with fists clasped, head bowed, motionless and silent.
His attitude further fueled Dongmen Buju's anger to a burning rage.
I am the dignified leader of the Heavenly Clan, and you're ignoring me, refusing to answer my questions. Are you showing me a face?!
Thinking of rebelling, are you?!
Moreover, with all eyes on him, the other clan leaders were watching, making him feel utterly disgraced.
Dongmen Buju's eyes seemed to explode, his face reddened with bulging veins, and his cheeks twitched uncontrollably with violent anger, terrifying in its intensity!
The clan leaders watched in shock.
No one expected Lin Fan to escape from Ling Wudeng's hand—whether it was due to his strength or sheer luck.
The Heavenly Clan had failed to kill their target for the first time ever.
Hence, everyone found it hard to believe their ears, and even harder to believe it was done by an unknown young man.
Upon hearing the news of Lin Fan's escape, Mo Ningxiang felt a mix of emotions, both sorrowful and joyful.
Joyful because Brother Lin Fan was safe, and her worried heart was finally at ease.
Sorrowful because Brother Lin Fan couldn't come up the mountain to save her, and from Ling Wudeng's tone, it seemed that Brother Lin Fan was injured.
She pondered over his condition, whether he was okay, and if his injuries were serious.
Mo Ningxiang's mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Fan, completely forgetting she was still stuck in captivity, unable to break free.
She wondered whether Brother Lin Fan would come back...
She thought quietly, feeling somewhat disappointed.
But suddenly, she wished she could slap herself.
How could Brother Lin Fan abandon her?!
This was absolutely impossible!
How could she think like this, how could she not trust Brother Lin Fan!
Since Brother Lin Fan knew she was on the mountain, restricted in freedom, he must be very anxious, more than anyone else wanting to rescue her.
He will surely come back.
He definitely will!
In her mind appeared the image of Lin Fan, severely injured but still desperately trying to climb the mountain, instantly making her teary-eyed. Tears like pearls were unstoppable.
She cried like a flower in the rain, heart-wrenching.
"Ling Wudeng! What do you mean by this!"
Dongmen Buju gritted his teeth, spitting the words out viciously.
Silence.
Like falling into eternal night.
Ling Wudeng still did not answer.
Finally.
He glanced around before slowly speaking, "Lin Fan was rescued."
"Rescued?!"
Dongmen Buju was stunned, no wonder Ling Wudeng didn't continue pursuing.
It seemed he had a fierce battle with the rescuer, lost the fight, and retreated.
Sumeru Continent—someone dared to oppose him, such audacity.
"Who? Who dares to challenge me, Dongmen Buju? The person I want dead was rescued—are they tired of living?"
Dongmen Buju's face fell, becoming extremely unpleasant.
His position and authority had been repeatedly challenged—first Lin Fan and Mo Ningxiang, and now a mysterious figure has emerged.
Now, none see the Heavenly Clan or Dongmen Buju as significant.
Arrogance.
Too arrogant.
To dare rescue someone right under his nose.
Dongmen Buju twisted his neck, joints cracking, his eyes filled with brutality and murder; a terrifying aura erupted from him.
"If I don't act, do you think the Heavenly Clan is a soft target, easy to handle? Tell me who rescued him, I'll make them regret their decision today. Remember, all who want to oppose me, Dongmen Buju—they'll face me to the end!"
Chaos!
Complete chaos!
Since Lin Fan appeared, the atmosphere of Sumeru Continent had subtly changed, and people seemed indifferent to both him as the Heavenly Clan leader and the entire Heavenly Clan.
An inexplicable feeling, it seemed they lost the control, dominance, and deterrence they once had.
Without killing some chickens, do these monkeys really think they can topple the Heavenly Clan?!
Lin Fan!
Lin Fan is the main culprit!
He cannot be allowed to remain, must be removed!
Dongmen Buju raged internally, his face alternating between green and white.
"Who rescued Lin Fan, speak."
Ling Wudeng drew a deep breath and slowly uttered a name.
"The Fifth Sword Emperor."
Gasp!
Gasp!
The crowd was in an uproar!
Including Mo Ningxiang, everyone was stunned, shocked.
Even Mo Ningxiang didn't expect the Fifth Sword Emperor to intervene!
The clan leaders thought it even less possible, mouths agape, jaws practically hitting the floor.
Reclusive, the Fifth Sword Emperor has reemerged in the world, just to save a mere boy?!
This world has gone mad.
It's known.
That the Fifth Sword Emperor is a presence independently apart from the Twelve Ancient Clans.
Never joined any Ancient Clan, except maintained some connections with Xuan Clan's Mo Chen, aloof and solitary.
Even Dongmen Buju never bothered the Fifth Sword Emperor's tranquility.
His swordsmanship divine, the Cloud Shadow Sword unknowingly claiming countless heads, soaking in much blood.
Once young and competitive, now he lives indifferent to world affairs.
Still unexpected.
Indeed, unexpected.
The Fifth Sword Emperor was willing to act to save the life of a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor, wielding the Cloud Shadow Sword once more.
"How would the Fifth Sword Emperor take action for such a boy?"
"I can't understand, they seem unrelated, how could they connect?"
"I heard the Fifth Sword Emperor has a daughter, could it be related to her."
"It's said that Diwu Yun'er was injured recently, not sure why."
The clan leaders conversed in confusion, completely baffled.
Mo Ningxiang, knowing Lin Fan and Diwu Yuner's relationship, hadn't anticipated the Fifth Sword Emperor would intervene.
Provoking Dongmen Buju and the Heavenly Clan is a significant ordeal, not just requiring courage.
Even risking one's life.
However, with Lin Fan and the Fifth Sword Emperor together, they should be fine.
Mo Ningxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Fifth Sword Emperor..."
Dongmen Buju's voice was low and hoarse, muttering the name with venomous hatred, growling like a beast.
"Why meddle...tricking me, Dongmen Buju, for sport—it seems enjoyable, yes. I'll join in the fun, letting you know Sumeru Continent remains under Dongmen Buju's rule!"
Dongmen Buju's voice suddenly elevated, hysterically roaring with evident intense agitation and fury, nearly smoking from every orifice.
"Taking the tiger's silence as weakness—a sick cat! Haha, fascinating...fascinating..."
His mismatched eyes flashed with cold cruelty, and the varied color of his pupils made them eerie and fearsome, chilling to behold.
The attendants couldn't help but gasp, thinking to themselves. Dongmen Buju was truly angry, suggesting Sumeru Continent would soon face a real storm of conflict.
