Long Feng, who was being held by Lin Jinglong, secretly lamented his misfortune after being bribed by the Lin family.

He did more than just sell his body.

They even sold their souls.

It's more than just being an ingrate.

He knows all the mistakes he's made; he's tricked quite a few people in the Dragon Group over the years.

That's why he knew he had no way back, so when Lin Wuyou appeared in Kyoto and ordered him to take action...

Long Feng did not hesitate at all.

I've decided to sever all ties with my adoptive father.

He even fantasized that after things were done, he could become a respected elder of the Lin clan, that is, a member of the Hidden World Alliance, and hold a high position!

But Lin Jinglong is a variable.

It completely changed the course of his life!

Qin Suifeng's appearance has proven everything, and Long Qi, lying on the hospital bed, suddenly let out a heavy sigh.

"Over the years, it's impossible for me to say I haven't noticed anything at all, but... I'm getting old after all, and there are some things I'm unwilling to face."

"Xiao Qin left the Qin family when she was young and was raised by me. I know she wouldn't lie to me."

"Long Feng, you have made a grave mistake!"

Upon hearing this, Long Feng's expression changed drastically.

He was about to speak.

Lin Jinglong gradually increased the force with which he gripped his neck.

“Master Long, now that you’ve confirmed he’s a traitor, I’m going to make my move.”

"Wait!"

Long Feng suddenly shook his head.

He earnestly said to Lin Jinglong, "Mr. Lin, I am already extremely grateful for your life-saving grace. As for Long Feng, there is no need for you to take action."

"I can guarantee he won't live past tonight, but killing him would inevitably dirty your hands."

Long Qi clearly had other things to do.

Lin Jinglong pursed his lips, saying that he had dirtied his hands, which meant he had other ideas.

But it doesn't matter.

He believed that Long Qi would not be indecisive.

Long Feng is destined not to live past tonight. As long as he doesn't pose a threat to me in the future, it doesn't matter who kills him.

So he shattered Longfeng's dantian with a single punch.

He was transformed from a low-level Martial Emperor into a true cripple, and if it weren't for his astonishing medical skills, he would never have been able to recover in this lifetime.

"ah!"

Long Feng curled up on the ground, letting out a wail.

Qin Suifeng walked over and respectfully said to Lin Jinglong, "Mr. Lin, please help save Master Long. The Dragon Group will definitely reward you handsomely in the future. Please trust us!"

Long Qi remained silent on his sickbed.

First, he suffered a huge physical blow, and then his spirit was also affected by the betrayal of his adopted son.

At this point, he was completely heartbroken.

Lin Jinglong readily agreed.

“He was my patient to begin with. This good-for-nothing used insidious means to harm people and almost ruined my reputation as a doctor. So naturally I have to save him again.”

"If Master Long wants to commit suicide after that, that's his own business."

Lin Jinglong's words made Long Qi's lips twitch.

Afterwards, Qin Suifeng dragged the lifeless Long Feng away, leaving Lin Jinglong to receive treatment in the ward.

Long Qi sighed.

"Alright, one has to look forward. The Dragon Group still has many things for me to handle. I would appreciate it if Mr. Lin could heal my injuries. As for the reward..."

He took out a jade slip from his bosom.

"What's this?"

"An unnamed jade tablet. When one probes into it with one's divine sense, one can sense an incomparably powerful spiritual energy, but one can only see a cloud of mist."

Long Qi suddenly revealed a playful smile.

"This is an opportunity I found thirty years ago in an ancient immortal's ruins, but for thirty years I have not been able to unravel its mystery."

“I can guarantee that this thing is related to the ancient immortal lineage, but it is not meant for me. If you are interested, you can take this ancient jade.”

"Of course I'm interested."

Lin Jinglong wouldn't stand on ceremony with him.

He took the ancient jade, put it in his pocket, and planned to study it carefully when he got back.

"Your injuries are more than ten times more severe than before, but thankfully you survived. To fully heal, you'll need at least ten sessions of 'Marrow Cleansing and Rejuvenation'."

Lin Jinglong was also somewhat helpless.

His Heavenly Silkworm Technique is currently only at the first level. If he could advance a few more levels, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

Long Qi felt like he had been given a second chance at life.

Not only did I not find it troublesome, I also felt like I made a profit.

Afterwards, Lin Jinglong spent a full hour relieving his injuries and performed another bone marrow cleansing and marrow transformation.

After all this is over.

It was already late at night.

Lin Jinglong received a message from Wu Tongtian.

"Mr. Lin, when will you be back?"

"The sixth-tier Martial Emperor I mentioned earlier has been waiting at the Martial Arts Tournament's base for a long time."

"He seemed to be getting impatient."

Wu Tongtian seemed somewhat hesitant.

The person arrived more than half an hour ago, bringing with him a critically injured and dying patient. It is said that only a seventh-level alchemist can save the patient's life.

Time was of the essence.

Wu Tongtian finally couldn't help but urge Lin Jinglong.

"I'll head back right away."

Lin Jinglong, carrying the newly acquired mysterious ancient jade, bid farewell to Long Qi and left the ward.

Outside, Qin Suifeng and over a hundred other unfamiliar group leaders and members of the Dragon Group were waiting.

Long Feng was held captive to one side.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely somber.

"I wonder what they plan to do with Long Feng?"

Lin Jinglong glanced suspiciously at the crowd around him.
