Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2642: Chapter 2641: Mysterious Stone Statue!

Aidan came up and said, you’re not dead yet, saying such words would ignite even the calmest.

Moreover, Lin Dong had stayed behind alone to face the Earth Dragon Emperor.

Previously, when faced with the Earth Dragon Emperor’s attack, it was Lin Dong who used the Wuji Defense Temple to block it; otherwise, Aidan would have been dead by now.

And now, he’s actually speaking to him in this tone?

This is simply ungrateful.

"Aidan, shut up!" Yun Ruoxian couldn’t help but rebuke, with unquestionable authority in her clear voice.

She stood beside Lin Dong, her gaze sharp, staring at Aidan as if trying to pierce his fraudulent heart.

Tang Yun followed closely, her tone full of angry reproach: "Aidan, how can you speak that way? Lin Dong is our Team Leader. He faced the threat of the Earth Dragon Emperor alone for us to retreat. How can you say such a thing?"

Aidan’s face changed slightly, coughed a few times, trying to alleviate the awkwardness: "I was just surprised by Lin Dong’s tenacious life force, given the undeniable strength of the Earth Dragon Emperor."

His words sounded forced, clearly his heart didn’t feel that way.

He was evidently eager for Lin Dong’s death.

Lin Dong smiled lightly, a hint of aloofness in his smile: "Aidan, fraudulent rhetoric is useless to me. In the face of life and death, any flowery words seem pale and powerless."

"I don’t like hypocritical people being noisy around me. If you do it again, I have my ways to silence you."

No sooner had the words fallen, Lin Dong remained motionless, but an ethereal shadow of a palm suddenly appeared, accompanied by the sound of breaking air, fiercely striking Aidan’s face.

This sudden change shocked everyone.

Even Aidan himself was stunned, the burning pain on his face reminding him it was not an illusion.

"You!" Aidan’s eyes widened in anger, his heart ablaze with rage, yet finding himself unable to move.

As a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist and the pride of the Bright Clan, when had he suffered such humiliation?

But At the moment, facing Lin Dong’s unfathomable strength, he could only swallow his rage and dared not utter another word, fearing to provoke him further.

Aidan’s voice trembled with anger, yet he eventually couldn’t say complete words.

He vowed internally to find an opportunity to regain dignity and make Lin Dong pay a painful price, yet in the face of overwhelming strength, his vow seemed so pale and futile.

Everyone around witnessing the scene was as silent as cicadas in winter, no one dared to voice out.

They fully understood Lin Dong’s strength and character, also acknowledging that the humiliation Aidan endured today was his own doing.

Seeing Aidan finally stop his noise, Lin Dong then began to carefully survey the cave ahead of him.

He slowly scanned the surroundings, finally landing his gaze on Yun Ruoxian and Tang Yun.

Then he lightly asked: "What did you all experience after leaving the Dragon Nest?"

Yun Ruoxian took over the conversation, a hint of relief and lingering fear in her voice: "After leaving that dangerous Dragon Nest, we traversed a long, dark passage. The passage was filled with unknown fears, as if each step could lead into the jaws of death. Fortunately, we eventually made it out of the darkness, arriving at this place called the Dragon Tomb."

"Originally, we thought we could relax, but unexpectedly disturbed the slumbering Dragon Soul." Tang Yun continued Yun Ruoxian’s words, adding, "The pressure from the Dragon Soul almost suffocated us, so we could only flee desperately. In the moment of despair, we discovered this cave, it emitted faint yellow light like the only hope in the darkness."

"Thus, taking a chance, we charged inside." Yun Ruoxian continued, "Just as we wished, this cave became our sanctuary; that Dragon Soul seemed afraid to chase us in."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong nodded, and once more began to survey the cave.

"After we entered, meticulously observed and explored this cave. Apart from this stone statue, there are no other notable features in the cave."

"As for this stone statue, we studied it for a long time without uncovering anything significant. Lin Dong, your wisdom, strength, and insight far surpass ours. Please have a look and see if you can notice anything unusual."

Lin Dong’s gaze moved from Yun Ruoxian to the Xuanwu Stone Statue that was emitting yellow light.

He slowly walked to the front of the statue, examining it carefully.

The statue is roughly two people tall, carved vividly, as if it might awaken from its slumber at any moment.

And the warm yellow light, is gently emitted from the eyes and various parts of the statue’s body, casting a mysterious glow over the Entire cave.

"This Xuanwu Stone Statue seems unusual." Lin Dong stated deeply, "Such rich energy fluctuations are definitely not ordinary."

Everyone heard this and gathered around, starting to examine the Xuanwu Stone Statue closely.

Yun Ruoxian gently brushed the statue’s scales, feeling the gentle texture, a strange sense of familiarity rising within her heart. "The material of this statue doesn’t seem to match any mineral I know." She murmured.

Tang Yun, on the other hand, noticed a row of vaguely ancient characters behind the statue. She squinted, trying hard to decipher the old inscriptions.

"These characters... seem to be recording some kind of secret." She whispered.

"These characters don’t seem to belong to any era. Lin Dong, do you recognize these words?" Yun Ruoxian, At the moment, looked towards Lin Dong again.

Lin Dong observed for a long time, unable to discern anything substantial.

These words definitely don’t belong to any era.

While everyone wasn’t paying attention, Lin Dong quietly activated the Dragon Ring, a faint Divine Sense silently linking to the Soul of the Sovereign Witch.

In the eyes of others, he simply closed his eyes lightly, as if pondering, but in reality, he was engaging in a silent conversation with the Sovereign Witch.

"Senior Sovereign Witch, have you ever seen these characters? What do they represent?" Lin Dong silently asked, his tone carrying a trace of urgency.

However unexpectedly, even the Soul of the Sovereign Witch, with its vast knowledge, fell into brief silence upon seeing these characters.

A moment later, the voice of the Sovereign Witch slowly echoed with rare seriousness: "These characters don’t belong to any era or civilization I know. They seem to encompass some ancient and powerful force, but its precise meaning, I cannot decipher."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong couldn’t help but feel a surge of disappointment, but it was soon replaced by a peculiar excitement.

Even Senior Sovereign Witch doesn’t know these words.

Could it be, these characters from ten thousand years ago?

The unknown often symbolizes enormous opportunities and challenges.

He reopened his eyes, gazing at those enigmatic characters, his eyes flickering with a more determined light.

Suddenly, he thought of the words uttered by Secondary Ancestor Yun Che before coming here.

He said, this place used to be called Xuanwu Valley, not Earth Dragon Valley.

In the past, the area was occupied by a Divine Beast Xuanwu.

Previously he only took it as a story, but now it very likely could be true.

Moreover, that Divine Beast Xuanwu might have existed over ten thousand years ago. This Divine Statue might have been left behind by it.

If this is indeed the case, then solving the mystery recorded on this Divine Statue would undoubtedly be a great fortune for him.
