The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1336 - Chapter 1336 Chapter 1336 Up to No Good

Chapter 1336: Chapter 1336: Up to No Good Chapter 1336: Chapter 1336: Up to No Good “Turns out it’s the Heart Demon,” Huang Xiaolong suddenly realized.

No wonder this third world, the so-called Realm of Heart Demon, seemed utterly devoid of danger.

Yet in reality, the absence of danger was the greatest danger of all.

The Heart Demon was truly frightening.

The terror of the Heart Demon lay in its mysteriousness.

In the vast cosmos, every being had a Heart Demon!

From the supreme powerhouses to the common masses, everyone had a Heart Demon.

Essentially, the Heart Demon was oneself.

The Heart Demon was “I.”

Once a being began to harbor the slightest doubt about themselves, unable to face themselves with absolute calm, a Heart Demon would emerge.

It’s just that more powerful beings could suppress their Heart Demons with invincible strength, even completely.

For powerhouses like the Sword Immortal Emperor, exalted as Immortal Emperors with a pure yang immortal physique, the Heart Demon, being dark and yin, is overpowered by yang, obscured by heavens’ secrets, utterly suppressed.

Lifelong, their Heart Demons would never appear.

But in this third world of the Slaying Heavens Ten Realms, the Realm of Heart Demon, there existed mysterious laws that made one’s chest utterly transparent, revealing the heart completely.

Thus, originally subdued Heart Demons would throw off their guard, like wild horses breaking free, no longer under control.

This “Mr. Wuxin” was actually an embodiment of a Heart Demon; he had no heart.

Er… simply put, he was a Heart Demon, so he did not have a Heart Demon.

Therefore, in the Realm of Heart Demon, Mr. Wuxin was absolutely unbeatable. He was invincible.

Others had Heart Demons; he did not. The difference was as vast as the distance between heaven and earth!

“This guy is an incarnation of the Heart Demon, under the special laws of this third realm, easily infiltrating into people’s hearts, prying into their hidden secrets, their flaws, then exploiting and amplifying these flaws to trigger the Heart Demon, igniting the heart’s flame, and instantly burning a person to death,” Huang Xiaolong said thoughtfully.

“Then how do we deal with this Mr. Wuxin?” the Ninth Princess asked.

“Eh… I am not clear on that yet,” Huang Xiaolong shook his head. “Who can claim to be without remorse?”

Hearing this, both the Ninth Princess and the Third Crown Prince stiffened, unable to reply.

“Hehehe… don’t rush, don’t rush,” Mr. Wuxin smiled faintly, very calm and composed, “Respected Treasure Hunters, if you are not in a hurry to answer the question, then please, take a seat. Chatting together can be very pleasant. Ah… I’ve been sealed in this realm for endless years–loneliness is indeed loneliness. I truly hope that you can stay forever, keeping me company…”

“You want us to stay here in this eerie place forever?” the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor was extremely agitated yet seemed to be at a loss. “How is that possible? How can it be possible?”

“This…” Mr. Wuxin thought for a moment and then smiled. “Not forever, if the next batch of Treasure Hunters arrives, then you will be able to leave.”

“Hahahaha… who knows how long that might take,” Huang Xiaolong laughed.

“Well… that’s not so bad. To stay here means not dying; we can be friends, very happily,” Mr. Wuxin said as if it were a given. “Treasure Hunters, actually, even if you pass through the Realm of Heart Demon and reach the next realm, that would be very dangerous. Ah… Slaying Heaven, the supreme being, unrivaled in the universe, who created the Slaying Heavens Ten Realms with his painstaking efforts, that is extremely dangerous… Respected Treasure Hunters, it’s not that I underestimate you, but… you will find it very difficult to get through the ten worlds, let alone the main world… so, stay. Staying will save your life. Moreover, if you’re lucky, the next batch of Treasure Hunters might arrive soon to replace you and stay with me. In doing so, wouldn’t you have your release?”

Mr. Wuxin earnestly advised, seemingly considering the best interests of the Treasure Hunters.

Hearing this, some Profound Immortals and Demon Saints seemed quite moved.

Thump thump… thump thump… thump thump…

Inside their transparent chests, one could see the hearts of those wavering Profound Immortals and Demon Saints beating faster! They simply could not hide!

Their hearts had all developed some cracks! This… was a flaw! A flaw had formed!

Huang Xiaolong’s pupils contracted slightly, then he focused intently once more.

On the surface, Mr. Wuxin seemed completely devoid of emotional fluctuations, like a well so deep its bottom couldn’t be seen.

But Huang Xiaolong, who was skilled in the art of observing qi, was able to distinguish the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, could read faces, foretell the future, divine fortunes, and, having opened his Heavenly Eye, could penetrate the mysteries of heaven.

Therefore, in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, behind Mr. Wuxin’s calm facade, there lurked an odd and evil, cruel smile.

‘I’ve got it! This guy is quietly crumbling the psychological defenses of the treasure hunters! Once they develop a flaw in their hearts, they become more vulnerable to the attacks by the Heart Demon! Mr. Wuxin is absolutely malevolent; his ultimate goal must be to ensnare all the treasure hunters in one fell swoop!’

Huang Xiaolong fully understood now.

Mr. Wuxin harbored no good intentions!

The treasure hunters all remained silent, none of them spoke.

Then, evening approached, and the sun dipped low in the west.

The setting sun cast its light on this glass-like world, reflecting a sinister luster as if pairs of devil’s eyes were spying on the treasure hunters.

The atmosphere began to grow creepier.

“Ha ha ha~ It’s getting late. My fellow treasure hunters, why don’t you all rest for the night? I apologize, as a Heart Demon I do not need food, so I am unable to offer you any hospitality,” Mr. Wuxin said with an apologetic face, his manner gentle and refined.

Only Huang Xiaolong could pierce through the veil of his tender facade to see the true devilish and fierce face beneath!

Thereupon, Mr. Wuxin bid farewell and entered a glass cottage at the peak of the mountain.

None of the treasure hunters moved.

The moon reached its zenith.

“How do we get through this, Huang Xiaolong?” the Sword Immortal Emperor said with a look of frustration. “Heart Demons come without a trace and cannot be killed. We all possess Heart Demons, and in this realm, it is very difficult to suppress our own. This means that we stand no chance against Mr. Wuxin.”

“You’re wrong; we’re all wrong, terribly wrong~~” The Purple Flame Immortal Emperor was incredibly vexed. “At first, I thought this third world would be the easiest, but… its difficulty, its peril, far exceed those of the Wood Planet and the Flame Realm! Heart Demons are elusive, impossible to capture or annihilate!”

“Could it really be that we’re destined to remain here?” teased Huang Xiaolong with a smirk, looking at those who had once been tempted by the Demon Saints and the Profound Immortals. “It’s best if you don’t let Mr. Wuxin’s honeyed words seduce you. Do you really think he will let us off? He is merely eroding our will.”

Hearing this, the treasure hunters each drew a sharp breath.

“Yes. Huang Xiaolong, what you say is very true, so tomorrow, we must face the Heart Demon head-on and answer Mr. Wuxin’s questions! I believe as long as we do not stir our Heart Demons while answering, we will have passed the test!” said the Sword Immortal Emperor.

At this moment, the Third Crown Prince spoke out. “My fellows, that Profound Immortal just now had committed unbearable atrocities and had lied straight to our faces, thus triggering his Heart Demon and burning to death. So then… who in their lifetime hasn’t done something regrettable? Even if they have, who would dare to admit it outright?”

Having never done something regrettable? And would dare to admit it?

The treasure hunters immediately fell into deep thought.

All those from the Demon Race dared not make a sound.

In the Demon Realm, countless dark deeds constantly emerged. The Demon Race lived by the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, growing amidst slaughter.

Neither the Demon Saints nor the Demon Kings could claim they had never done anything against their conscience.

At this moment, a Profound Immortal stood up resolutely. “Let me answer Mr. Wuxin’s questions tomorrow!”

Huang Xiaolong and the others turned their attention directly to the Profound Immortal.

“Indeed~~ Throughout my life, I can recall no deed that went against my conscience, and even if there were, it was a minor thing. I can admit to it openly,” claimed the Profound Immortal with an air of an upright gentleman.

“Good! Immortal Yunhua, you do have a sterling reputation in the realm of Immortals, known for being a peacemaker~~~ Tomorrow, you shall face the questions of the Heart Demon!” The Sword Immortal Emperor, reinvigorated, praised him. “In the realm of Immortals, you’re known to be quite the amiable Immortal.”

“Yes. Whatever I’ve done, I can admit to it. I stand tall and sit upright without fear,” declared Immortal Yunhua fearlessly.
