Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Gathering in the Canyon

”Brother Ye, what should we do now?”

Xiao Jiannan’s gaze turned towards Ye Luo.

”Let’s go and have a look!”

A sharp gleam flickered in Ye Luo’s eyes.

”But most of the people heading there now are masters of the Spirit Sea Realm; the two of us going won’t stand a chance at getting the Lingxu Grass!”

”Maybe we’ll get lucky, and besides, the news of the Lingxu Grass’s appearance must have spread throughout Heng Mountain by now. Your uncle and the others are likely to go as well; we can meet them if we head there now.”

Ye Luo spoke.

”You’re right!”

Xiao Jiannan nodded, and the two followed the others towards the location of the Lingxu Grass.

Several minutes later, Ye Luo and Xiao Jiannan arrived in a canyon on one of Heng Mountain’s peaks. A large group of martial artists had gathered here, representing various powers of the Hidden Sect.

Among them were many from the Hua Yuan Realm and Spirit Sea Realm, and there were even several masters of the Controlling Qi Realm gathered here. Their gazes were all fixed on a cave in the canyon, emitting a unique aura.

”Jian Nan!”

Just as Ye Luo and Xiao Jiannan arrived, a shout rang out, and a middle-aged man accompanied by five or six elders of the Spirit Sea Realm quickly approached.

”Uncle!”

Upon seeing this middle-aged man, Xiao Jiannan hurriedly called out; it was his Uncle Xiao Di.

”Jian Nan, why is it just you? Where is Jian Fei?”

Xiao Di looked at Xiao Jiannan and asked.

Hearing Xiao Di’s words, Jian Nan’s expression suddenly turned incredibly grim, and he coldly spat out, ”He has already left.”

”What happened? Why did Jian Fei suddenly leave?”

Xiao Di looked puzzled.

”He almost killed Xiao Jiannan!”

Ye Luo interjected quietly at that moment.

”What?”

Shocked by Ye Luo’s words, Xiao Di turned to Jian Nan and asked, ”What exactly happened, Jian Nan?”

”Uncle, let’s talk about this when we get back,”

Jian Nan shook his head.

Xiao Di nodded, then his gaze shifted towards Ye Luo. ”And who is this brother?”

As Ye Luo had used his ”Clairvoyant Eye” to disguise himself as a stranger, Xiao Di, who had seen Ye Luo at Mount Jiuhua, obviously didn’t recognize him.

Xiao Jiannan whispered a few words into Xiao Di’s ear, causing Xiao Di’s expression to change. He then looked at Ye Luo and said, ”So it’s Brother Ye. I must thank you for helping to rescue Jian Nan last time!”

”It’s nothing, just a trifle!”

Ye Luo curled his lips and spat out, ”Is the Lingxu Grass really inside there?”

”Indeed, the aura spreading from inside is precisely that of the Lingxu Grass.”

Xiao Di nodded.

Xiao Yifeng activated his Clairvoyant Eye to probe the inside of the cave, but as soon as his Clairvoyant Eye delved a few dozen meters, it encountered resistance and couldn’t continue further. This filled Ye Luo’s eyes with a shocked expression; he tried to use the Clairvoyant Eye several more times without any success.

According to Ye Luo’s clairvoyance, it seemed like there was an extremely powerful energy inside the cave that obstructed his Clairvoyant Eye, though he did not know what this powerful energy was, he felt a faint sense of danger in his heart.

”Wow, so many people!”

At that moment, a light, pleasant voice rang out, and another group approached—these were the people from the supreme power of the Hidden Sect, Snow Palace.

Leading them was an Elder of the Snow Palace from the Controlling Qi Realm, followed by several high-level experts from the ninth tier of the Spirit Sea Realm and other powerful figures from the Spirit Sea Realm; among them were also two of the younger generation.

Specifically, they were the two disciples of the Snow Palace Master, the fierce and ruthless Ruan Yu alongside the youthful and busty Tang Bao’er. Ye Luo had not expected both of them to be here.

This time, many of the forces from the Hidden Sect had brought their younger disciples to let them gain some experience.

Tang Bao’er was still wearing a bright smile, her loli-like youthful face paired with her F-cup bosom made her figure incredibly appealing, immediately attracting the attention of many young men from the various major forces present, especially focusing on her ample chest.

As for Ruan Yu, she remained cold as ice, her expression icy, looking as if everyone owed her money. Looking at this woman, Ye Luo was reminded of the photos he had taken of her, which were still saved in his phone.

Seemingly sensing someone looking at her, Ruan Yu glanced over and saw Ye Luo, her brows slightly furrowing. She didn’t realize that this man was the one she hated the most now, otherwise she would have charged over to kill Ye Luo on the spot.

”Didn’t expect even people from Snow Palace to come!”

Xiao Di looked at the group from Snow Palace, a hint of regret showing between his brows.

With Snow Palace, this colossal force here, even if they found the Lingxu Grass, it definitely wouldn’t belong to them. After all, Snow Palace was one of the top twelve supreme powers of the Hidden Sect, and their strength could easily crush any other Hidden Sect force present.

The other Hidden Sect powerhouses were also taken aback when they saw the Snow Palace figures appear, their eyes also showing a helpless and regretful expression.

Clearly, they all understood that with the appearance of Snow Palace, their hopes of obtaining the Lingxu Grass grew slim, but they did not leave just yet because naturally, they didn’t want to give up this opportunity until the very last moment.

If they got the Lingxu Grass, it would be like obtaining a ticket to the door of the Controlling Qi Realm, enabling them to become true top-level experts, and they were naturally reluctant to miss out.

For Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses, breaking through to the Controlling Qi Realm was extremely difficult; many spent their whole lives stuck at the ninth tier of the Spirit Sea Realm, and out of a hundred Spirit Sea Realm experts, maybe not even one would reach the Controlling Qi Realm.

Thus, the Lingxu Grass was like a key to opening the door to the Controlling Qi Realm; they would not give up this chance until the last moment.

”Let’s go in!”

At that moment, the Elder from the Snow Palace spoke indifferently and walked straight into the cave, with the other people from Snow Palace following behind.

As the people from Snow Palace took the lead and entered the cave in the canyon, followed soon after by the people from Elixir Sect and Poison Sect, led by the two Controlling Qi Realm powerhouses who had battled previously.

Then the families, including Si Family and Feng Family, from the six major families, all entered the cave, with most of the others also rushing in.

However, most were high-level Martial Artists above the seventh tier of the Hua Yuan Realm, and those with lower abilities were of no use even if they went in. Moreover, these people all had Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses as their support.

Once the Lingxu Grass was found, if a battle broke out, only those above Spirit Sea Realm could participate in combat; the rest simply didn’t have the capacity to compete.

”Jian Nan, you stay outside for now; I and a few Elders will go in first to check it out!”

Xiao Di looked at Xiao Jiannan and spoke.

”Okay!”

Xiao Jiannan nodded. With his abilities, entering wouldn’t make much difference, and he understood that even if his second uncle and the family Elders went in, it was unlikely that they would obtain the Lingxu Grass, but no matter what, they wanted to give it a try.
