Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2871: Chapter 2872: Excavating Obsidian

At this moment, Princess Qinse was unusually anxious inside the tent.

Before long, Xian Gu hurriedly returned.

”Xian Gu, how is it?” Princess Qinse immediately greeted her.

Xian Gu’s expression was somewhat awkward, ”Princess, even the predecessors of Immortal Mountain are helpless with this strange disease, and they specifically instructed that anyone infected essentially has no hope of survival, and should be killed immediately. Moreover, the army should be disbanded right away to minimize the damage!”

Princess Qinse immediately furrowed her brows, ”Now there are already fifty infected, and the speed is increasing rapidly. If we kill them all, I’m afraid it will cause a mutiny among the soldiers; as for disbanding the army, it’s out of the question. All we can do now is wait for news from Father King. This morning, Father King sent orders to enter a state of military preparation. We should observe the changes quietly!”

Princess Qinse couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful. This was her first time leading an expedition, and she encountered such an issue, truly unlucky.

She suddenly thought of Ye Luo. Previously, she had deliberately sent scouts to investigate, and they had already entered a state of military preparation, showing Ye Luo indeed had foresight.

But soon she shook her head with a sigh; Ye Luo wasn’t a god. Even the strong ones of Immortal Mountain couldn’t deal with this strange illness, what could he possibly do?

As soon as Ye Luo returned to the tent, he immediately gathered the personal guards he brought.

These eleven people were the personal soldiers Ye Luo could completely trust.

Therefore, Ye Luo arranged for them to guard around the tent. Though their cultivation wasn’t top-notch, it was enough to handle some mundane matters.

”All of you, do something for me!” Ye Luo said sternly, ”This concerns the lives of fifty thousand elite soldiers, absolutely no mistakes can be made!”

Then, Ye Luo made arrangements and shortly, these eleven people left the tent, galloping away.

Not long after those eleven disappeared, a figure transformed into a streak of light, flying out of the tent.

Underneath a giant mountain emanating death qi, several people were quietly moving. This Mountain of Death was a notorious peril, rarely approached by cultivators.

Yet, there were many experts from various forces coming to this place in search of treasures!

This place was one of the sources of Obsidian, which when ignited, emitted pure fire-type Origin Source and was an excellent burning material. A single piece of Obsidian could burn for years and emitted a rich fragrance, accompanied by a large amount of spiritual energy. If a great hall had a few pieces of Obsidian, when burned, it completely changed the cultivation environment, which is why it was praised by the nobility.

Currently, the price of Obsidian has reached a staggering level, but its collection comes with mortal peril.

Venturing deep into the Mountain of Death carries the risk of fire poison attacks. Another point is that in recent years, Obsidian has almost disappeared, and many cultivators have died here without seeing the legendary Obsidian, leading to fewer cultivators coming to collect Obsidian.

”According to the Sect Leader’s instructions, the Obsidian should be in the center of the mountain. I’ve sensed it, we’ll head up the mountain immediately. Quick in, quick out, no delays!” Elder Brother said in a deep voice.

Then, a group of eleven cautiously entered the Mountain of Death.

However, they didn’t notice several pairs of sinister eyes watching them in the dark.

”Kill!”

A hoarse voice echoed, as if from hell itself, then two figures swiftly dashed out like the wind, rapidly heading towards the direction of the eleven.

”This is the place, start digging!” Elder Brother ordered while standing on a rock halfway up the mountain.

Then, these people took out their tools and began to dig.

The rocks of the Mountain of Death were exceptionally special and extraordinarily hard, impossible to break through even with mana. They had discovered this long ago, so special tools must be used for excavation.

”Not good!” Elder Brother suddenly cried out, as two figures appeared before the group.

”Those who dare to dig Obsidian from the Mountain of Death, kill without mercy!”

One of the shadows punched forcefully.

Half-step Martial Emperor Realm! They were actually strong cultivators of the Half-step Martial Emperor Realm, and apparently proficient in the art of assassination, far more powerful than ordinary cultivators of the same realm.

”Hmph!”

At that moment, a cold snort was heard, followed by a flash of sword shadow which not only neutralized the punch but sent sword qi directly towards the two.

The two exclaimed and quickly defended.

However, more sword lights streaked by, causing the two Half-step Martial Emperors to retreat rapidly.

”Who dares to interfere with the Assassin Alliance’s matters!” one shadow shouted angrily, ”We’ll give you a chance now, if you leave, the Assassin Alliance will forgive, otherwise, no matter if you escape to the ends of the earth, you will not evade death!”

Meanwhile, Elder Brother had started digging fast. They knew who was helping out.

Ye Luo’s Divine Sense Avatar had been following those eleven.

The two assassins couldn’t escape Ye Luo’s eyes.

”Assassin Alliance, huh? Then die!”

Coldly uttering these words, Ye Luo swung his sword again.

Nuonuo Divine Technique!

This time, Ye Luo directly utilized added strength, elevating the Primordial Sword Dao by a level.

Despite their combined efforts, the two could barely withstand this sword strike. They were extremely shocked, sensing that Ye Luo’s avatar was only of the same realm as they were, yet the difference in power was vast.

They believed themselves leaders in this realm, but now their confidence was severely shaken.

”Sect Leader, the Obsidian is in hand!”

After numerous battles, Elder Brother quickly transmitted to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo, hearing this, struck two consecutive sword strikes, forcing the two assassins back, then accompanied the eleven back to the tent.

”Should we chase him!” one shadow asked unwillingly.

”No need! Even if we catch him, we are not his match, and I suspect he has aces up his sleeve, potentially able to kill us!” the other shadow said in a deep voice.

Speeding away, Ye Luo escorted the eleven back safely to the tent.

Only then did the eleven breathe a sigh of relief, and the massive Obsidian was delivered into Ye Luo’s tent.

Afterward, Ye Luo ordered the eleven to guard the tent, allowing no one to approach, not even Nameless, who was turned away.
