Chapter 32

"But..." Tang Yun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the Vice President.

"Now is not the time for this; let's leave here first." The Vice President supported Tang Yun and walked out of the laboratory.

The President watched this scene, his expression dark and terrifying.

"Do you think you can escape?"

The President roared and gave chase.

Tang Yun and the Vice President escaped the Holy Medical Association headquarters and arrived in the desert outside.

"Where are we going now?" Tang Yun asked.

The Vice President smiled and said: "To Dubai."

"Dubai?" Tang Yun was puzzled.

"That's right," the Vice President nodded, "An auction is being held there, and the item being auctioned is the 'Medicine King Gene Atlas'."

"'Medicine King Gene Atlas'?" Tang Yun's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be..."

"Exactly," a sharp glint flashed in the Vice President's eyes, "As long as we obtain the 'Medicine King Gene Atlas', we can completely unravel the Holy Medical Association's conspiracy!"

Dubai, a den of debauchery and extravagance, the air filled with the scent of luxury.

In the auction hall, crystal chandeliers shone brilliantly, the air was filled with the rustle of fine clothes and the clinking of glasses. Tang Yun and the Vice President, wrapped in snow-white robes and wearing gem-encrusted headgear, looked exactly like two Middle Eastern oil tycoons.

"I'm really not used to this getup," Tang Yun tugged at his collar and said in a low voice.

The Vice President chuckled: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do; just bear with it. Besides, our goal is that Medicine King Gene Atlas; what is this small sacrifice?"

Tang Yun nodded, his gaze sweeping across the venue, looking for potential competitors. Various wealthy individuals, like sharks smelling blood, had greedy glints in their eyes.

The auction officially began, and rare antiques were sold off at high prices. Tang Yun and the Vice President had no intention of making a move.

Until the "Medicine King Gene Atlas" was brought out, the atmosphere in the venue instantly reached its peak.

"Starting bid, one hundred million US dollars!" the auctioneer's high-pitched voice rang through the hall.

"One hundred and ten million!"

"One hundred and twenty million!"

The price soared, but Tang Yun and the Vice President remained calm.

"Five hundred million!" a rough voice broke the stalemate.

Everyone looked toward the sound; a burly man with a face full of flesh was arrogantly raising his paddle.

"It's the boss of the Black Bear Mercenary Group, Xiong Ba!" someone recognized the man's identity and exclaimed.

Tang Yun frowned slightly; it seemed this competitor would not be easy to deal with.

"Five hundred and fifty million!" Tang Yun raised his paddle, his tone flat but carrying unquestionable authority.

Xiong Ba turned his head and glared viciously at Tang Yun, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"Six hundred million!" Xiong Ba shouted through gritted teeth.

"Seven hundred million." Tang Yun remained expressionless.

The price continued to climb, and Xiong Ba's face became increasingly ugly. He knew he had encountered a tough opponent.

In the end, Tang Yun won the "Medicine King Gene Atlas" for the astronomical price of one billion US dollars.

Xiong Ba was furious, stood up abruptly, pointed at Tang Yun, and roared: "Kid, you dare to snatch things from me? Are you tired of living?"

"What, want to start a fight?" Tang Yun sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph, you just wait!" Xiong Ba left a harsh threat and stormed off.

Tang Yun and the Vice President took the "Medicine King Gene Atlas" and left the auction venue.

Just when they thought everything was going smoothly, a group of men in black suddenly sprang from the shadows and surrounded them.

"Who are you people?" Tang Yun asked vigilantly.

"The people who are here to take your life!" the leader of the men in black said coldly.

A fierce battle broke out instantly; Tang Yun and the Vice President fought ten men alone, yet they did not fall behind at all.

"Chaos Medical Qi!" Tang Yun shouted, and a powerful aura blasted the surrounding men in black away.

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

In the desert, countless Gu insects suddenly emerged, dense and terrifying, making one's skin crawl.

"Oh no, it's Gu People!" the Vice President's expression changed drastically.

The Gu insects quickly surrounded Tang Yun and the Vice President; forced into a corner, they could only fight and retreat, fleeing into an ancient desert underground palace.

Deep in the underground palace, a giant Sand Worm Gu King was coiled, emitting a nauseating, fishy stench.

"What... what kind of monster is this?" Tang Yun was horrified.

The Sand Worm Gu King opened its blood-red maw and sprayed a highly corrosive venom.

Tang Yun hurriedly used his Chaos Medical Qi to block it, only to find that the venom could actually corrode his Chaos Medical Qi!

Just at the critical moment, the Vice President suddenly blocked Tang Yun, taking the venom attack for him.

"Vice President!" Tang Yun was devastated.

"Cough, cough... go quickly..." the Vice President said weakly, "Take the Medicine King Gene Atlas... to the Arctic Gene Vault..."

Tang Yun nodded through his tears and turned to run deeper into the underground palace.

The Sand Worm Gu King pursued relentlessly; Tang Yun dodged its attacks while searching for an escape route.

Suddenly, he discovered that the Sand Worm Gu King's gene chain was 99% identical to his own!

"How is this possible?" Tang Yun's heart was filled with confusion.

He used his Chaos Medical Qi to purify the Sand Worm Gu King and discovered that it had a core inside its body similar to a human heart.

Tang Yun crushed the core, and the Sand Worm Gu King instantly turned into dust.

"You dare to touch even my clone?" Tang Yun said coldly, his eyes flashing with icy murderous intent.

Following the Vice President's instructions, he arrived at the Arctic Gene Vault.

Inside the gene vault, the cold was biting, and there were ice sculptures everywhere.

Tang Yun moved forward cautiously; suddenly, a group of Ice Plain Wolf Gu People sprang from the ice sculptures and launched an attack on him.

The Ice Plain Wolf Gu People roared, their sharp claws flashing with cold light as they lunged at Tang Yun. Tang Yun sneered, his Chaos Medical Qi surging to form an invisible barrier.

"Small tricks!"

He flicked his finger, and several streams of medical Qi shot out, hitting the Ice Plain Wolf Gu People right between the brows. They fell stiffly to the ground, turning into shards of ice crystals.

Tang Yun continued deeper into the gene vault; the cold became more intense, almost freezing his blood.

"What kind of secret is hidden in this damn place?" Tang Yun muttered to himself.

Finally, he arrived at the center of the gene vault.

A giant crystal coffin stood quietly there, with a boy lying inside. The boy's appearance was exactly the same as Tang Yun's when he was a child!

"A clone?" Tang Yun was shocked.

What shocked him even more was that a familiar jade pendant was embedded in the boy's chest—Lin Xiyue's Holy Maiden Jade Pendant!

"This..." Tang Yun felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Just then, the clone in the crystal coffin suddenly opened its eyes. Its eyes flashed with an eerie red light, and a powerful aura erupted from its body.

"Not good!" Tang Yun thought to himself.

The clone sat up abruptly from the crystal coffin, opened its small mouth, and sprayed a cloud of dark green poisonous mist.

"Antimatter Gu Poison!" Tang Yun's expression changed drastically; this poisonous mist could actually corrode his Chaos Medical Qi!
