The Luckiest Dumb Doctor
Chapter 781 - Chapter 781 Chapter 781 Piles of White Bones_1

Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Piles of White Bones_1 Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Piles of White Bones_1 Monk Nelson Rice gazed at the corpse on the ground for a long time, his mouth filled with a bitter taste.

Having cultivated for sixty-seven years, he still couldn’t overcome the opponent after such a long fight; yet, this young man before him had easily killed the opponent with a mere strike of his sword.

The enormous disparity made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He lifted his head and muttered, “Master Shangguan…”

Before he could finish, Monk Nelson Rice suddenly realized that the man before him had become a Golden Core True Monarch, and he was no longer qualified to be his senior uncle.

At this moment, Greg Jensen took the initiative to speak, “Uncle Nelson, let’s first get out of here before we talk.”

“Alright.”

Hearing the other still addressing him as “senior uncle,” Monk Nelson Rice’s face showed a sincere smile.

“Congratulations, nephew, on becoming a Golden Core True Monarch.”

“You are too kind, senior uncle!”

Although Greg Jensen was excited inside, his face showed no sign of it as he nodded to Monk Nelson Rice and then sprang up, flying towards the exit above.

Wesley looked at the empty hall, feeling uneasy, and said hoarsely, “Senior uncle, the brothers…”

Monk Nelson Rice heaved a sigh and said, “It’s all fate. Let’s hurry and leave this place to avoid further troubles as time passes.”

“Yes, senior uncle.”

The two flew through the exit and discovered that it was actually a small teleportation array; in a daze, they arrived inside a room.

“Is this… the Elixir Room?”

Wesley recognized the place at a glance because it was here he had been poisoned and subsequently went mad, killing several junior disciples of the sect.

Monk Nelson Rice had by now understood everything. Recalling the previous ordeal, he still felt an itch in his teeth from hatred.

“That damned Malcolm Gill, wait until I get out, then I’ll settle the score with him!”

“Senior uncle Nelson, let’s hurry.”

“Coming.”

Upon hearing Greg Jensen’s voice from outside, Monk Nelson Rice quickly took Wesley and left the room.

Looking at the strange dark red sky, the two not only didn’t despise it but instead breathed out a long sigh of relief.

“We’re finally out.”

Thinking back on their recent encounter, both of them still felt a lingering fear.

And thinking of the eight disciples from the Hanging Temple, all of whom had died tragically in that hall, Wesley couldn’t help but feel sorrow rise in his heart.

Monk Nelson Rice’s expression was also quite grim; he patted his junior nephew’s shoulder, opened his mouth wide, but didn’t know how to comfort him.

Greg Jensen, seeing the looks on their faces, said, “In this world, where some come, others must go; everything is predestined.

To pursue cultivation against natural order, one must have the determination to break through all obstacles; otherwise, what’s the point of seeking immortality?”

Both were stunned for a moment.

After a long while, Monk Nelson Rice, with his face full of solemnity and his hands clasped together, deeply bowed and said, “Amitabha, thank you, nephew Shangguan, for your guidance.”

“Amitabha, thank you, brother Shangguan.”

Greg Jensen smiled and said, “The two masters are overthinking it.”

After saying this, he turned his gaze to the mountain foot and said, “Let’s go, I wonder how the others are doing.”

“Let’s go, let’s check on them together.”

As the three were about to descend the mountain, Greg Jensen suddenly stopped, hesitant, “Did I forget something?”

Monk Nelson Rice looked bewildered, “I don’t think so?”

But Wesley slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile, “Brother Shangguan, you’ve forgotten Teresa; she’s still waiting for us at the square.”

“I…”

Greg Jensen suddenly realized and hurriedly rushed up the mountain.

When he had entered the hall earlier, he was afraid of danger, so he left Teresa Cotes outside.

However, after the recent fight, and with his level up to Golden Core, he was too excited and actually forgot about Teresa Cotes.

Thank goodness for Wesley’s warning!

Greg Jensen simply took to his Flying Sword, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the mountaintop.

From a distance, he saw a slender figure standing at the edge of the square, staring eagerly in the direction of the great hall.

At this moment, Teresa Cotes was entangled in whether or not to descend the mountain.

When she saw the doors of the great hall close, she knew something was wrong, but she also feared that Greg might need her help, so she had been waiting here all along.

However, after waiting for so long, everything had quieted down in the great hall, yet Greg and the others still hadn’t come out.

Just as she was indecisive, she suddenly heard the sound of wind behind her, turned her head, and to her astonishment, she found that it was Greg who had arrived.

“Senior Brother Shangguan, how did you come from the foot of the mountain?”

“It’s a long story, get on first, I’ll take you down the mountain, and we can talk while walking,” he said.

Teresa nodded her head and leapt onto the Flying Sword.

While Greg was driving the Flying Sword, he recounted everything that had just happened.

Upon hearing that all this was the conspiracy of the Great Void Sect, Teresa’s face turned livid with anger as she said,

“The Great Void Sect is going too far. We must tell Master later and let her stand up for us!”

“No need, I will handle it myself, after all, I am now a Golden Core True Monarch,” Greg said.

“That’s good, too…”

Teresa unconsciously agreed, then suddenly realized something was wrong and exclaimed in shock, “What did you just say? You’ve formed your Core?”

“Yes, I snatched and consumed the Blood Spirit Pill, so naturally, I achieved Core Formation,” Greg stated calmly.

“I…”

Teresa was so startled that she almost fell off the Flying Sword.

It took her quite a while to regain her composure, then realizing she was still hugging Greg’s waist, she quickly let go and asked tentatively,

“Senior Brother Shangguan… Master Xu, are you really a Golden Core True Monarch now?”

“Of course, why would I lie to you?”

Greg asked, “What’s the matter? Is something amiss?”

“No… there’s nothing,” she replied.

Teresa chuckled nervously, but her heart was pounding nonstop.

A voice seemed to keep reminding her in her mind that the man standing before her was a Golden Core True Monarch.

The only Golden Core True Monarch in a thousand years!

Overwhelmed with excitement, Teresa was at a loss for words; all she could do was gaze at Greg’s back with worship in her eyes.

It wasn’t until the Flying Sword landed that she came back to her senses, looked around, and her face immediately paled.

The Medicinal Garden was still there, but inside there wasn’t any Spirit Grass, only mountains of white bones.

Apart from these bones, the garden was strewn with the desiccated corpses of several dozen individuals whose lifeblood had been drained away.

Looking at their clothing and attire, it was clear they were disciples of the Cave Mystery Sect and those smaller sects.

Previously, everyone had parted ways halfway up the mountain, with the Cave Mystery Sect and those smaller sect disciples insisting on returning to the Medicinal Garden to gather the Spirit Grass.

As a result, they all died here.

Monk Nelson Rice was just as dumbfounded, his eyes wide with disbelief as he said, “What… what happened here?”

Greg furrowed his brow, took a couple of steps forward, but did not enter the range of the Medicinal Garden. Instead, he stood on the edge and looked inside.

“It’s an Illusion Array! The Spiritual grass and magic medicine we saw before must have been simulated by this Illusion Array,” Greg said gravely.

“There are three sets of formations here, one is the Illusion Array, the second is a simple Protective formation.

The last one is a lethal formation connected to this entire secret realm!”

“A lethal formation?”

“Correct, just like the situation we encountered in the great hall, the lifeblood of these people has been completely absorbed by this lethal formation, becoming the nourishment for this secret realm,” he explained.
