Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 780 - 754: Getting Started

Liucheng, on Saigon Road, in a luxury mansion with sprawling grounds, Jin Hong had been spending most of his time in the gymnasium recently, finding some solace only when he was drenched in sweat.

His fists pounded against the punching bag, emitting a series of violent ’thud thud thud’ sounds as he vented his anger.

"Hmph, it’s all because of you, Tangyu. If it weren’t for you, I might already be with Xinyue by now. It’s all your fault for ruining my chances," he muttered.

"If it weren’t for you, Xinyue wouldn’t be ignoring me now. What’s so great about you?"

"Why would Xinyue fall for someone like you?"

"Tangyu, I hate you. If I ever get the chance, I will destroy you with my own hands," he vowed.

"Hmph, Xinyue, I will have you. Even if I can’t have you, I won’t let anyone else have you. If I can’t have you, I will destroy you," he snarled.

Jin Hong’s face was twisted with cruelty, terrifyingly sinister, like a wild beast gone mad.

At Snow Mountain, he had been utterly humiliated, his pride swept away.

Now, Xinyue completely ignored him, Tang Guo did the same, and even his former henchman, Chen Xiaolei, had left him.

And all of this was because of Tangyu. If Tangyu hadn’t appeared, none of this would have happened. It wouldn’t only have not happened, but things would have gone according to his original plan, and he would now be happily in love.

So, he hated Tangyu. He hated him so much that he wished he could flay him alive to quench the bitterness in his heart. In his eyes, the punching bag was Tangyu.

"Beep beep!!"

Suddenly, his phone rang. On hearing the sound, Jin Hong frowned slightly. Not many knew this number, so any calls or messages would likely be important.

Jin Hong quickly walked over and picked up his phone. As he read the message, his expression turned even more ghastly, and he let out a chilling, sardonic laugh: "Hmph, good going, Tangyu, daring to come to Liucheng. Good for you, Xinyue, you just couldn’t wait to throw yourself at him. You two, a pair of despicable lovers, you’ve forced my hand. Hmph—"

------

Liucheng, on University Road, stood a simple European-style villa, which was Xinyue’s home.

Xinyue had always been very independent, so she moved out on her own after starting high school. Of course, Tang Guo and Lan Yi often kept her company, making this place a little haven for the three of them.

After inviting Tangyu and the others to sit in the living room, Xinyue and Lan Yi went to tidy up the room, leaving Tang Guo to entertain the guests.

Tang Guo was exceedingly hospitable, offering teas and fruits, serving snacks, and sweetly asking Tangyu what he needed, her demeanor quite charming.

To Tangyu, this young girl was quite likable. Every time he saw her, he was reminded of Zhao Yaya. Although she didn’t have the same charm as Zhao Yaya, she was delightful in other ways, often exceeding Zhao Yaya in her ability to charm and captivate.

Moreover, Tang Guo really idolized Tangyu.

Tangyu said, "Tang Guo, we can take care of ourselves. Why don’t you go and help Xinyue out?"

Tangyu wanted to discuss matters with Liang Youshan and others, which would be somewhat awkward with an outsider around. Moreover, the discussion would involve the Ancient Martial Realm, which certainly couldn’t be shared with others.

Tang Guo immediately shook her head, "It’s okay, it’s okay, they can manage. You are the guests, how can I not take care of you? Relax, relax, have some fruit."

Liang Youshan cracked a smile, "Ahem, Tang Guo, beauty, actually what my boss meant was, could you please give us some privacy? We need to discuss some matters."

Tang Guo immediately pouted unhappily, giving Tangyu a look of lingering resentment and whined, "Such a miser, just discuss your things, why send me away? I can keep quiet too. Fine, fine, I’ll go. Hmph, miser."

Reluctantly, Tang Guo went upstairs.

After Tang Guo left, Tangyu chuckled and turned to Wang Wei, "Wang Wei, you guys have been in Liucheng; you must be familiar with the situation here. Tell me about it in detail."

Wang Wei nodded, then began, "Yes boss, we’ve been in Liucheng for a couple of months now, and we’ve gotten quite acquainted with the situation here."

Through Wang Wei’s detailed explanation, Tangyu gained a basic understanding of Liucheng.

The power structure in Liucheng was quite chaotic. Publicly, there were three major powers: the Xin Family, the Jin Family, and the Tang Family.

The relationship among these three families had always been good. They had originally made their fortunes through the underworld but had gone legit decades ago. Now, they operated within both the legitimate and illegitimate spheres, primarily focusing on the business sector. These three families could almost be said to monopolize most of Liucheng’s industries. They were the absolute leading enterprises of Liucheng.

The cleaner they became, the less they interfered in underworld matters, but the underworld figures dared not provoke these three families.

The forces of the legitimate world were negligible.

As for the underworld, it was a place where a hundred flowers bloom. Despite its small size, Liucheng had more than a hundred minor and major underworld powers. There were more than ten significant powers worthy of mention.

Indeed, it was for this reason that Liucheng had always been relatively chaotic in terms of public security. Basically, there were gang fights every day.

Initially, it used to be manageable, as each force had its own territory, and they didn’t encroach on each other’s areas. Minor scuffles were common, but large-scale brawls were rare. However, recently, for some unknown reason, there had been daily clashes, which added a smell of gunpowder over Liucheng.

This left many of the citizens of Liucheng feeling apprehensive.

The three major forces did not step forward to quell these disturbances, and the righteous forces turned a blind eye to these matters, which was quite intriguing.

Tangyu frowned slightly, "It is quite clear that someone is orchestrating this behind the scenes, either to unify Liucheng’s underworld or to throw Liucheng into chaos and muddy the waters."

Tangyu leaned towards the second possibility; the mysterious force behind it all seemed intent on causing chaos everywhere, as if they wanted to disrupt the entire world. The purpose of doing so was obviously to divert the attention of the reputable sects, allowing them a chance to take advantage during the chaos.

"Wang Wei, how were you attacked last time?" Tangyu asked.

Wang Wei said, "Last time, we encountered two groups clashing, which affected some innocents, so we stepped in to teach those people a lesson. Then, more people became involved, and we taught them a lesson too. Before we knew it, we had been poisoned."

Tangyu nodded, "Then it’s as I thought, the gang disturbances are indeed orchestrated by someone—definitely by that mysterious force. Our task this time is to root these people out. Now that we have a clear target, it will be easier to proceed. Do you remember which gang you taught a lesson to? We just need to find these gangs again and trace them back."

Wang Wei shook his head, "We really don’t know; we didn’t ask too many questions at the time."

Tangyu curled his lips, "That’s fine. Liucheng isn’t very large; it should still be easy to root them out. By the way, you mentioned that many Ancient Martial Artists in Liucheng were poisoned; Liucheng doesn’t seem to have anything special. Why does it attract so many Ancient Martial Artists?"

Before Wang Wei could speak, Liang Youshan quickly interrupted, "I know, I know this, haha, let me tell you."

"Although Liucheng is a small place, it has a significant historical background. In the past, the Liu City Sect was based on the entirety of Liucheng. Back then, it was almost equivalent to a Holy Land for Ancient Martial Arts. However, the Liu City Sect gradually declined for unknown reasons and became a small Ancient Martial Arts family, the Liu Family."

"Liucheng attracts Ancient Martial Artists because the black market here often has treasures from the old Liu City Sect."

"Indeed, many people have found treasures in Liucheng, so it has attracted a lot of Ancient Martial Artists come here hoping to get lucky."

"Of course, those are not the only reasons. There’s another significant reason, which is that dozens of miles from Liucheng, there is a place called Phoenix Mountain, rumored to be an ancient site. To ordinary people, it seems just a tourist spot. But to us Ancient Martial Artists, it is a place of opportunities."

"There have indeed been rumors that some have gained great benefits at the ancient site and even discovered powerful secret techniques. Therefore, it has also attracted many Ancient Martial Artists to try their luck there."

After hearing this, Tangyu nodded in realization, "I see, I didn’t know about it; Liucheng indeed has such historical significance. No wonder it can attract Ancient Martial Artists. Knowing there is such a place, true or not, I would have to explore it myself."

"But since we are here this time, let’s also take the opportunity to explore."

Liang Youshan nodded, "Of course, with your luck, boss, you might just find a great opportunity."

Tangyu curled his lip; when it came to luck, his was indeed quite good.

No wonder the mysterious force, knowing that Liucheng is right next to Myriad Saints Valley, still dared to send people to wreak havoc. It turns out Liucheng has such significance here.

Thump, thump, thump—

The sound of high heels hitting the floor came, and Tangyu turned his head and smiled, "You can come down now, we’re done talking."

The three people then came down, and Tang Guo glared somewhat annoyed, "Always so secretive, you mustn’t be discussing anything good."

Tangyu quirked a smile, "Good things, definitely good things."

"Hehe, it’s just some adult stuff, wanna listen too, Miss Tang Guo?" Liang Youshan said with a mischievous grin.

Tang Guo immediately waved her hand, "Oh please, you two bad guys, I don’t want to listen, I am very pure."

Liang Youshan said, "I am pure too, haven’t I told you, I’m still a virgin?"

Before Liang Youshan could gloat, Tang Guo looked at him with disdain, "To be that old and still a virgin, and you have the nerve to say it, I’m embarrassed for you. Besides, you’re not good-looking, so that figures."

"Uh..." Liang Youshan was greatly struck by those words; who knew one could be despised for that?

After speaking, Tang Guo curiously looked at Tangyu and said, "If Tangyu were a virgin, now that would be a rare treasure."

"..."

Liang Youshan spat blood again.

The disparity!
