Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor
Chapter 700: Hatred

Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Hatred

Feng Jiang was subdued and taken away by Fang Bai, and the female disciples at the Doctor Pavilion sighed in relief, secretly glad that Fang Bai had arrived in time. Otherwise, they themselves might have suffered calamities.

"Pavilion Master, why have you called my daughter and me here so late? Is there something urgent?"

Lin Ruoxue asked.

Wen Yu said, "Tonight, I’ve summoned you disciples for two important matters: First, Elder Li has passed away, and the Pavilion needs to select a successor elder; second, I have decided to abdicate today to make way for the capable, to wholeheartedly cultivate martial arts, and the selection of the new Pavilion Master also needs your discussion..."

Lin Ruoxue had already received the news of Elder Li’s passing, but Wen Yu’s sudden announcement of abdication was somewhat unexpected to her.

Only to hear Wen Yu continue to say, "I recently seem to be showing signs of a breakthrough in my cultivation... For me, this is an excellent opportunity. If missed, I might never have hope in this lifetime. Furthermore, as I’ve grown older, serving as Pavilion Master has become somewhat beyond my strength. After stepping down as Pavilion Master, I’ll be able to focus on cultivation."

Then Lin Ruoxue suddenly realized that Wen Yu’s abdication was for this reason.

Wen Yu is a physician, and even more so a martial artist. For her, advancement on the path of Martial Dao is far more important than the position of Pavilion Master.

With each step forward on the path of Martial Dao, it isn’t just an increase in strength; one’s lifespan also vastly extends. Wen Yu’s decision was thus not without justification.

The next Pavilion Master and Elder of the Doctor Pavilion are usually recommended by the previous Pavilion Master, followed by a discussion among other key disciples. As long as more than half agree, the election can proceed smoothly.

The next Pavilion Master and Elder that Wen Yu recommended were Wang Miaomiao and Lin Ruoxue, respectively.

These two candidates, both within and beyond the disciples’ expectations of Doctor Pavilion, were also reasonable.

Unexpected because Wang Miaomiao was too young and inexperienced; no one had imagined she would be able to secure the Pavilion Master’s recommendation to become the next leader.

While Lin Ruoxue was old enough and qualified, her strength was somewhat lacking, making the role of Elder a bit of a stretch for her.

Within reason, because in the past year, Wang Miaomiao’s medical skills and strength had both improved greatly. Indeed, in the entire Doctor Pavilion, no one was more qualified for the role of Pavilion Master.

Although Lin Ruoxue’s strength was somewhat weak, the support of the Dongfang Family behind her was worth relying on, especially since she had a very powerful daughter, Dongfang Ruhua.

In fact, the disciples of the Doctor Pavilion understood that the reason Wang Miaomiao and Lin Ruoxue were recommended by the Pavilion Master was chiefly because of their good relationship with Fang Bai. Doctor Pavilion needed to leverage their relationship to maintain friendship with Fang Bai, which was critical to the Pavilion’s future development.

While the Doctor Pavilion disciples were busy with the selection of the new Pavilion Master and Elder, Fang Bai, along with Deputy Valley Master Feng Jiang from the Ghost Doctor Valley, also returned to their residence in the quadrangle courtyard.

"Is this... Valley Chief Feng?"

"Divine Doctor Fang, what’s the matter?"

When Fang Bai threw Feng Jiang in front of Baili Zhan and Yang Xudong, both were greatly shocked, looking at Fang Bai with a clueless expression, wondering what on earth had happened.

Fang Bai said with a smile, "It’s nothing; I encountered two disciples sent by Ghost Doctor Valley to hunt you down on my way here, and I took care of them. This Feng Jiang I’ve brought over for you to deal with. The other one, named Ji Chao, got slapped into an idiot by me. Let him fend for himself!"

"Just casually took care of them..."

Hearing Fang Bai’s words, both Baili Zhan and Yang Xudong were rendered speechless.

Especially Yang Xudong, who couldn’t help taking a sharp intake of cool air, feeling it was inconceivable and utterly astonishing.

Feng Jiang and Ji Chao, one a Deputy Valley Master with Earth Level Perfection strength and the other an Elder with High Rank Earth Level strength, were both considered formidable figures who dominated their respective realms in the Hidden Sect World. Yet, in Fang Bai’s words, they seemed like trash that could be easily disposed of.

Until now, Yang Xudong had always been unclear about just how powerful Fang Bai’s strength was, but through today’s events, he guessed that Fang Bai must have reached the level of a Valley Master; otherwise, how could he have so easily taken care of both Feng Jiang and Ji Chao?

Taking a deep breath to quell the tumultuous emotions in his chest, Baili Zhan looked at Feng Jiang, who was hanging his head low with a defeated look on his face, and said coldly, "Valley Chief Feng, it’s been a long time. Do you even recognize us?"

Back when Baili Zhan was still in Ghost Doctor Valley, although he didn’t have much interaction with the Deputy Valley Master Feng Jiang, he harbored an intense hatred for him.

This was because it was Feng Jiang who had discovered an Evil Cultivation Technique that used women as "Furnace Cauldrons" for practitioners and offered it to the Valley Master Li Ao, plunging Ghost Doctor Valley into a situation beyond redemption.

Originally, Ghost Doctor Valley was an upright and prestigious sect where disciples studied medical skills and cultivated Martial Arts without vying with the Secular World. However, since the acquisition of that Evil Cultivation Technique offered by Feng Jiang, the whole atmosphere of Ghost Doctor Valley changed for the worse. The disciples began causing harm everywhere, abducting Female Martial Artists to use as "Furnace Cauldrons" to cultivate, and eventually descended into depravity.

It was during that time that Baili Zhan, unwilling to be carried along by this corrupt tide, surreptitiously left with his wife Jiang Yuzhi to lead a life of hiding in the Secular World.

Yang Xudong and his wife also fled shortly thereafter.

One could say that Feng Jiang was entirely to blame for Ghost Doctor Valley becoming what it was today.

Therefore, both Baili Zhan and Yang Xudong harbored deep hatred for Feng Jiang. Now, seeing Feng Jiang captured by Fang Bai and brought here in such a pathetic state, both felt a sense of vindication.

Slowly lifting his head, Feng Jiang’s eyes sharpened when he saw Baili Zhan and Yang Xudong, then he said bitterly, "You two... Baili Zhan, Yang Xudong, you traitorous disciples..."

Slap—

Before Feng Jiang could finish speaking, Baili Zhan already raised his hand and slapped him fiercely across the face, causing blood to seep from the corner of his mouth and one side of his cheek to swell up.

"This slap is for my wife and child! If it weren’t for you, they wouldn’t have had to flee Ghost Doctor Valley with me, living a life of constant fear and hardship!"

Baili Zhan said bitterly, then raised his hand for another slap.

Slap—

With this slap, Feng Jiang’s other cheek swelled up as well, with fresh blood oozing continuously from his nose and mouth.

"This slap is for the women harmed by Ghost Doctor Valley! If you hadn’t brought that Evil Cultivation Technique into Ghost Doctor Valley, how many women would have been spared from abduction and harm?"

Slap—

As Feng Jiang was speaking, the third slap came down hard. This slap hit Feng Jiang right on his left ear, causing him to hear a roaring sound and his vision darkened as he felt dizziness take over. Blood began oozing from both his eyes and ears.
