Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 993: Chapter 1002: Call for Help (Double Chapter) (2)

As for William, he was always by Avril’s side.

If something happened to William, that means Avril might be in trouble too.

He also knew that Avril and William likely went to the Holy Land last night.

Before heading to the Holy Land, they had asked him to join them.

However, he really had no interest in the Holy Land.

After all, things like Spirit Stones, secret manuals, and heavenly materials were all useless to him.

For him, with the Jade Pendant Space as a miraculous Golden Finger, he lacked nothing.

"I can only go have a look!" He sighed and walked out of the room.

At the hotel entrance, after asking the hotel manager to call a taxi, he informed the driver of the address on his phone and began the journey.

If he hadn’t hailed a taxi from the hotel but instead on the way, the driver probably wouldn’t have dared to go.

After all, the place he wanted to go was so far and desolate.

The driver would suspect you were about to commit a robbery or something.

But since the car was called from the Hilton Hotel, and the hotel helped call it, the driver felt much more at ease.

At least if he disappeared, there would still be a record of it.

Of course, the main reason the driver took this fare was because Lin Xi paid generously, making it hard to refuse.

Throughout the journey, the taxi driver said nothing.

In fact, he was a bit worried inside and sent a message to his family, informing them he was taking someone to a certain place, and if he hadn’t returned by a certain time, they should call the police or something.

To Lin Xi, there was nothing much to say to the taxi driver.

The car drove for about three hours straight and even went through some rugged mountain roads, otherwise, it would have taken just two and a half hours.

Upon reaching the ruins and seeing a dozen cars parked on the road, the taxi driver felt somewhat relieved.

However, upon stopping, seeing so many cars and not a single person around, the driver felt tense again.

Could it be some supernatural event?

After all, it was almost ten at night, with darkness all around, and the occasional cawing of crows could be heard.

It’s quite creepy!

"Sir, we’re here!" This was the only sentence he spoke throughout the journey.

Lin Xi nodded, took out some British Pounds from the Jade Pendant Space, handed them to the taxi driver, then got out of the car and walked directly towards the nearby ruins.

The taxi driver took the money without counting it and just watched Lin Xi.

He was very conflicted and, after some thought, got out of the car and asked, "Sir, do you want me to wait for you?"

After saying this, he regretted it.

This place was desolate, with only a dozen cars and not a soul in sight, truly frightening.

If something were to happen while waiting, his life might end here.

His main thought was to leave this place immediately.

"You can go!" Lin Xi didn’t look back, he could feel the taxi driver’s fear.

Since this was the case, there was no need for someone to wait.

Besides, with so many cars here, even if he wanted to go back, it would be very easy.

"Are you sure you don’t need me to wait?"

"I can take you back for free!"

After all, the money Lin Xi gave him far exceeded the agreed fare.

And since he had to go back anyway, he figured he might as well do a favor, as it wouldn’t hurt.

Plus, late at night, he was afraid to return alone.

"No need!" Lin Xi replied without further acknowledging him and walked straight into the ruins.

Watching Lin Xi’s figure vanish, the taxi driver shivered, thought for about four or five seconds, and then decisively returned to the driver’s seat.

Immediately, he turned the car around and left as quickly as possible.

The fear of being on the way back was less than the fear of staying there.

Inside the ruins, Lin Xi followed the navigation on his phone and soon found the right location.

There was an altar here, covered with dense runes that gave a scalp-tingling sensation.

At the edge of the altar, a person lay with several severe injuries down to the bone, especially a claw mark on his abdomen that had damaged his internal organs.

He was clearly already unconscious.

Yet even so, he held tightly to a phone, as if unwilling to let it go even in death.

"William?"

He was turned away, but Lin Xi could basically confirm from the back that this was likely William.

It seemed that after sending those last two messages, he fainted.

A few steps closer, squatting down for a look, indeed it was as he suspected; this person was William.

But the injuries were too severe, nearly on the brink of death.

If he were ten minutes later, William wouldn’t have made it.

He quickly retrieved a Small Returning Pill from the Jade Pendant Space and pushed it into his mouth.

Immediately, one could see that the bleeding in some areas stopped and that the injuries began healing at a visible rate.

However, the wounds were too deep, and despite the rapid healing process,

it would still take at least one or two hours!

After about two or three minutes, William, who was almost exhaling his last breath, suddenly groaned.

The next moment, his eyes opened, and he saw Lin Xi.

Seeing Lin Xi, he became anxious and tried to speak, but coughed up blood, thwarting his efforts to talk.

Lin Xi quickly said, "Don’t talk yet, wait another two minutes."

William’s urgency didn’t fade, but at the moment he had no choice but to listen to Lin Xi.

Three minutes later, William’s condition improved a bit, and he began to speak without spitting blood.

"Mr. Lin, the young lady is in danger; you must bring her back safely!" he pleaded.

Lin Xi nodded; seeing William in this state, he had already realized Avril was in danger.

But he knew being anxious wouldn’t help.

"Was it in the Holy Land that the danger occurred?" he asked William.

William nodded without speaking; the previous sentence had taken a lot out of him.

"Hadn’t you said before that there was no danger in the Holy Land?"

"And surely, the Butte Clan didn’t just send the two of you; there must have been Innate experts with you!"

William nodded again, "Mr. Lin is right."

"So to encounter danger, could there be something or someone inside more powerful than an Innate expert?" he questioned again.

At this, William didn’t know what to say.

After all, he knew Lin Xi was also at the Early Innate Stage.

Sending him inside to rescue someone was extremely dangerous.

It’s important to note that there were a total of eight Innate experts who entered the Holy Land.

Although there was internal strife initially, leading to significant depletion of True Qi among many strong individuals,

the entity within was far too formidable.

He estimated its strength far exceeded the Early Innate Stage.

Seeing William hesitating to speak or not knowing how to explain, Lin Xi didn’t bother waiting for him to answer and directly asked, "How do you enter the Holy Land?"

A look of relief appeared on William’s face as he struggled to raise his hand and point to the center of the altar, saying, "Try standing there!"

Lin Xi, "..."

At this moment, he was in no mood to retort about not even knowing how to get in.

But it wasn’t William’s fault; after all, their previous entrance was completely passive.

In the next moment, Lin Xi stood up and walked to the center of the altar.

As soon as he reached the center, the runes on the floor and walls began to wriggle, transforming into characters.

At the edge of the altar, William seemed as if he wanted to crawl over.

This left Lin Xi speechless, and he quickly said, "In your current state, just stay put here!"

"Once I enter, as long as Avril’s unharmed, I promise to bring her back safely."

Hearing Lin Xi’s assurance, William didn’t insist.

In less than thirty seconds, Lin Xi vanished from the altar, and a hopeful expression appeared on William’s face.
