The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 1007

Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: You Selfish Man!!!! Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: You Selfish Man!!!! At this moment, the atmosphere in the square had become somewhat stiff.

Master Zhang had already issued the ultimate ultimatum to Huo Bingyan.

He forced her to make a choice.

Huo Bingyan stood unmoving, resolute.

Huang Xiaolong, on the other hand, was playfully standing with his arms crossed, his facial expression utterly indifferent.

At this time, even those seasoned cultivators, who were a cut above the rest, felt a bit nervous about what Huo Bingyan’s final choice would be.

But–
“Is there really a need to choose? She will definitely return to Master Zhang’s side,” one of the overseas cultivators said with a laugh. “Betraying one’s sect and being stripped of one’s cultivation is only natural. Once cultivation is stripped away, not only are years of hard work wasted, but even the talent for cultivation will be affected. The future is utterly ruined, profound in significance, entirely altering a person’s fate.”

Ziluo, the Emei sect woman who had been the first to slap Bai Jingjing, also shook her head slightly. “Indeed, the love between a man and a woman cannot reach the point of sacrificing everything. In this world, is there truly such thing as a love that disregards all else? Those are but deceptions, only cultivation is eternal! This woman’s choice will certainly not be that young man!”

These overseas cultivators saw things very clearly.

“Humph!” Master Zhang also had a confident expression on his face as he took out a talisman from within his robes. “Bingyan, this talisman can wash away all the Dao you carry within you, as well as all the various cultivation techniques I have taught you. It is also a charm that wipes away part of your memory. Once you decide to betray the sect, then, as your master, I will reclaim all that was given to you. All your memories about Dao techniques will be erased. But rest assured, you won’t die, you will just become an ordinary girl.”

“Erase memories? That will harm her talent!” someone among the cultivators exclaimed in alarm. “Such a pity for this woman; she made it to the fifth level of the Xuanhuang Tower, and had a promising future. If even a part of her memory is erased, then she is thoroughly doomed!”

“Yes, memory is a part of the soul, and erasing a few days or months of it is trivial. But this woman has been cultivating alongside Master Zhang since she was a child–that’s decades of effort through the cold and heat of the seasons. One can say that most of her life’s memories are connected with Dao techniques. Erasing these memories will cause irreparable damage to her soul. Her talent will undoubtedly be destroyed. She’ll be destined to live as nothing more than an ordinary woman in the marketplace.”

“One path leads to immortality and proving one’s Dao. The other is the insignificant path of the common mortals.”

…

Almost everyone was banking on Huo Bingyan to quickly abandon Huang Xiaolong and return to Master Zhang’s side.

Thus, Huang Xiaolong’s domineering attitude would be immediately struck down.

Moreover, based on the agreement he had with Master Zhang earlier, the matter of him killing Bai Jingjing would be pursued by Master Zhang. It would be justifiable for Master Zhang to act against Huang Xiaolong.

“Huu~~~” Suddenly, Huo Bingyan took a deep breath and her face showed a look of relief and acceptance!

This expression was very relaxed and cheerful, as if making a certain decision had given her a great sense of ease. She had broken the shackles in her heart.

Clearly, Huo Bingyan had made her choice! And this choice, she had followed her own heart! Such a choice made her feel joyous, without restraint, open-hearted, without guilt!

“Master!” Huo Bingyan’s gaze reached out to Master Zhang in the Qingqing Palace.

This “Master” contained a mix of respect and admiration.

“Hahahaha~~~” Hearing this, Master Zhang knew what Huo Bingyan’s choice was.

“Hahahaha~~ Bingyan, good disciple! Good disciple! I’ve always known your loyalty!” A beaming smile spread across Master Zhang’s face.

Immediately after, Master Zhang looked at Huang Xiaolong with a cold, mocking gaze. “Young man, I’ve said it before, could the disciple I myself taught possibly betray me? You’re merely controlling Bingyan through curse backlash, making her act against her will. Now that the curse backlash has been lifted, she has dropped you like a pair of worn-out shoes!”

Hearing this, Huang Xiaolong did not retort, but the mocking irony in his eyes grew even more intense.

Meanwhile, the other wives of Huang Xiaolong, and three little demons, remained absolutely sure.

They had confidence in Huo Bingyan! Even more confidence in Huang Xiaolong!

They all knew deeply that after being with Huang Xiaolong, one would be deeply attracted to him, an attraction engraved in the bones! For him, what did forsaking the future matter? Even if it meant dying immediately, they would die smiling!

“Come, good disciple, come here,” Master Zhang beckoned towards Huo Bingyan with a very gentle voice. “Your master will immediately bestow upon you a magical treasure!”

“Master, Bingyan has something to say to you–thank you!” Huo Bingyan said earnestly.

Thank you?

As soon as she spoke, a baffled expression appeared on everyone’s faces.

Why would Huo Bingyan want to say thank you?

Could it be that there was a twist?

Huo Bingyan spoke with a relaxed smile. “Master, ever since I met my husband, I knew I could never leave him in this lifetime. Even without that curse backlash, Bingyan feels the same… If I lost my husband, life would be like walking dead. What would be the point of high cultivation without him?”

The whole place was silent, you could hear a pin drop.

“Bingyan lives, solely for her husband.”

“However, betraying ones mentor and sect, Bingyan feels guilty in her conscience. Fortunately!” Huo Bingyan’s tone revealed a hint of elation. “Master suggested such a method, which is to abolish Bingyan’s Dao techniques! Wonderful! Bingyan is willing to return to the master everything he has given; then, Bingyan will no longer be accused by her conscience! Bingyan can remain by her husband’s side without guilt, raise children! No need for cultivation in the future!”

Having finished speaking, Huo Bingyan directly knelt down toward the direction of the Upper Pure Palace, where Heavenly Master Zhang was. “Please, Master, take back everything!”

Whoosh~~~!!!!

The entire place was in an uproar!

Huo Bingyan had actually chosen to betray! She would rather be crippled!

It was simply astonishing to everyone present.

Even those overseas cultivators!

However, many of the overseas cultivators shook their heads, silently cursing Huo Bingyan for her shortsightedness.

To abandon everything for a man–was it worth it? Was it really worth it?

“What kind of man is this, to make a genius make such a sacrifice…” For the first time, Ziluo of the Emei sect looked at Huang Xiaolong with a curious and inquiring gaze.

“Huo Bingyan! You beast!!!!” At this moment, Heavenly Master Zhang was thunderously furious!

Huo Bingyan’s public betrayal was like a resounding slap to his face!

It left him completely humiliated!

The next second, without the slightest hesitation, Heavenly Master Zhang flicked his wrist, and the talisman flew out like a dragon-snake!

The talisman flew toward Huo Bingyan!

It was intended to cleanse her memory of everything related to the Longhu Mountain’s Daoist arts!

Huo Bingyan closed her eyes, with not a trace of fear or regret on her face–what was there was all calm! Relaxed! As if relieved from a heavy burden!

Huang Xiaolong remained motionless, doing nothing to stop it.

“Young Master~~” Qingqing couldn’t help but tug at Huang Xiaolong’s sleeve.

A playful smile appeared on Huang Xiaolong’s lips. “Returning all the Daoist arts to Heavenly Master Zhang is only natural and reasonable. Moreover, the Daoist arts from Longhu Mountain are so trashy that keeping them is useless.”

In the blink of an eye, the talisman burrowed into Huo Bingyan’s brain.

Instantaneously, endless light burst forth from Huo Bingyan’s head.

Whoosh whoosh~~ Whoosh whoosh~~
This light continued to wash away the traces of Longhu Mountain’s Daoist arts in her memory, dissipating Huo Bingyan’s mana.

Huo Bingyan’s aura began to change, gradually becoming more ordinary.

The overseas cultivators naturally exhibited looks of pity. They couldn’t bear to see a genius in cultivation fall back into the mortal world.

This was nothing short of a waste of talent.

However, no one intervened. After all, this was a matter between Heavenly Master Zhang and his disciple.

Finally, after a few minutes, the light from Huo Bingyan’s head completely receded.

Her entire aura became exceedingly ordinary, and the spiritual energy in her eyes was gone. She looked like a common secular woman–aside from being slightly prettier and having a better figure, she no longer had any other merits.

“Phew~~ It’s over,” Huo Bingyan said lightly as she stood up, murmuring, “From today onward, I’m done with Master, no, with Heavenly Master Zhang.”

After finishing, Huo Bingyan gave Huang Xiaolong a charming smile. The subtext was–“Husband, are you happy with this choice I’ve made?”

“Hmph!!!!” Just then, Ziluo from the Emei sect couldn’t hold back any longer and snorted coldly, striding toward Huang Xiaolong, “Selfish!!!!”

“Eh?” Huang Xiaolong was stunned.

“You selfish, despicable man!” Ziluo scolded shrilly. “For your own selfish desires, you ruined this woman! You ruined her life! Your character is utterly garbage beyond redemption!”

“For you, this woman was willing to betray her sect, cripple her own foundation, and even endure the scorn of the secular world… She sacrificed everything!” Ziluo glared furiously. “And you? Out of a bit of vanity, you just watched as she lost everything in an instant… You’re too cold-blooded, too selfish!”

This stirred the crowd, and they began to condemn Huang Xiaolong.

In their eyes, if he truly loved Huo Bingyan, then he should have stopped her just then. Huo Bingyan had made sacrifices for him; shouldn’t he do something for her?

“Haha~~ What am I even saying. My own wife, of course, I cherish her,” Huang Xiaolong laughed casually. “Eh~~ Bingyan my wife, now, I’ll compensate you. Hehehe~~~ you will become even better than before. Hahaha~~”
