The Divine Urban Physician

Lingwu Continent, in the deepest part of Holy Dragon City, in a palace that was isolated from the world.

This palace served as the true foundation of the Holy Dragon Family.

It also housed the main hall of the Holy Dragon Family.

Only the Grand Elder, core elders, Long Hongtian, and other important figures of the Holy Dragon Family were allowed to enter this hall.

Even the main branch and direct descendants of the Holy Dragon Family were not permitted entry.

Beneath the main hall lay a spiritual vein, and the spirit energy within a radius of ten miles was exceptionally dense and rich.

Unfortunately, this hall was cut off from the outside world. Even the direct descendants of the Holy Dragon Family were not allowed to cultivate in the vicinity.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was grave.

Long Hongtian occupied the seat of honor, with several important elders seated to his right.

However, there was no pride visible on their faces because today, the Divine Kingdom had dispatched individuals from the Mu Family.

Due to the incident involving Mu Ye in the Lingwu Continent, the Mu Family had dispatched Mu Tiancheng and Mu Feng to the Lingwu Continent to investigate and visit every top faction.

They were determined to uncover the truth behind Mu Ye’s death at all costs!

Today just happened to be the day they arrived at Holy Dragon City!

Mu Tiancheng took a sip of tea and gazed at Long Hongtian with narrowed eyes. ”The Divine Kingdom’s Mu Family is here today for one reason. I wish to know if an expert from your Holy Dragon Family attacked a young man some time ago.”

”He is from the Mu Family. Regrettably, he died in the Lingwu Continent.”

Long Hongtian’s face drained of color upon hearing this. His Holy Dragon Family was one of the top forces in the Lingwu Continent, yet they would never dare to act against the people of the Divine Kingdom.

He rose to his feet and forced a smile. ”Mister Mu, you must be joking. My Holy Dragon Family has always maintained a good relationship with the Divine Kingdom. How could we possibly dare to harm anyone from your family?”

”Furthermore, during this period, the Holy Dragon Family’s late-stage Sealed Gate realm experts and higher have remained in Holy Dragon City and the Demon Territory. They could not have harmed anyone from your family.”

”However, since this incident occurred in the Lingwu Continent, my Holy Dragon Family shall locate the individual who disrespected the Divine Kingdom, even if we must turn the Lingwu Continent upside down!”

Mu Tiancheng’s eyes flickered. After a long pause, his clear voice rang out. ”Of course, I trust you. However, there are certain matters I still need to see for myself.”

”The Mu family possesses a technique. When you engage in combat with someone from the Mu Family, it will leave a portion of their aura on their opponent’s body that cannot be removed.”

”However, this spell can only be sensed from a distance of one hundred meters.”

”Therefore, I will require you to present your late-stage Sealed Gate realm experts and above for me to examine. A personal item will suffice as well.”

Long Hongtian felt a flicker of anger in his heart. The Holy Dragon Family was considered a branch of the Nine Heavens Saint Dragon Hall, yet they were being disrespected like this.

However, he could only swallow his rage!

Who was he to challenge those from the Divine Kingdom?

”Mister Mu, since you require it, our family shall certainly do our utmost to assist you.”

”I will bring them forth immediately. However, a few Grand Elders are currently in seclusion, so I must ask Mister Mu to be patient...”

”That is simple enough.” Mu Tiancheng stroked his beard and smiled.

At that moment, an elder of the Holy Dragon Family rushed in. He glanced at everyone and leaned over to whisper a few words into Long Hongtian’s ear.

Long Hongtian’s expression shifted drastically.

Something had occurred in the forbidden secret realm!

Death row prisoners had escaped, and two elders of the clan had fallen. Another elder had even suffered the loss of both arms!

Curses!

These were all vital elders of the Holy Dragon Family!

If this situation had only shocked Long Hongtian, what truly infuriated him was that the cause of all this chaos was a Creation realm ant,

Ye Chen!

Most importantly, this boy had saved Long Luo, who had been imprisoned in the secret realm’s dungeon.

Long Luo’s bloodline was far too potent, and her identity posed a significant threat to his current position.

While some elders and Grand Elders of the Holy Dragon family supported him, there remained a faction that firmly believed Long Luo’s father was still alive.

If they were to discover Ye Luo’s existence, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Mu Tiancheng seemed to sense that something was amiss and inquired, ”Head of the Holy Dragon Family, you appear unwell. What has happened within the family? Do you require my assistance?”

Long Hongtian’s heart sank. He could not allow the Divine Kingdom to become aware of this. He could not permit outsiders to interfere, lest the Holy Dragon Family became a laughingstock.

”There should be a few elders guarding the teleportation formation. Instruct them to eliminate all without mercy. No one can be left alive,” he whispered to the elder.

”But...” The elder hesitated, but cracks began to form beneath his feet.

With the secret realm shattered, the foundation of the Holy Dragon Family was also compromised,

”Hurry! If necessary, utilize the Blood Dragon Lock Formation,” Long Hongtian commanded.

Afterward, he smiled at Mu Tiancheng. ”Mister Mu, the Holy Dragon family’s foundation formation disk has become a bit loose over the years. By the way, let me show you where the Grand Elders are first...”

Mu Tiancheng narrowed his eyes and whispered to his son, Mu Feng, who stood beside him, ”Find an excuse to leave. Then, follow that person and see what you can discover. Do not let them notice you.”

”Yes, Father.”

...

At the same time, in a side palace of the Holy Dragon Family, the battle was raging.

Ye Chen held Ye Luo tightly and observed that the surroundings were already in chaos.

Blood stained the ground, and killing intent permeated the entire palace.

On the other side stood five elders of the Holy Dragon Family.

Four were fourth-level Sealed Gate realm experts, and one was a fifth-level Sealed Gate realm expert.

Due to the unexpected arrival of the Divine Kingdom’s Mu family, Long Hongtian had not dispatched more experts here.

However, now that Ye Chen was gravely injured, any one of them could easily end his life.

Ye Chen’s body swayed, yet Ye Luo, who was in his arms, remained securely held.

He could feel the force of the backlash intensifying.

He was enduring it, and he did not want to fall.

The suppressive effect of those medicinal pills was far from sufficient!

The Demon Emperor shook his head as he observed the unfolding scene. ”Kid, why do you persist in this manner? I could have used the demonic energy as a conduit to send you away.”

”Right now, Feng Qingyang and I are unable to control your body. Furthermore, as time elapses, the pain in your body will worsen...”

Ye Chen smiled and gazed at Ye Luo. ”It was all worth it.”

The Demon Emperor shook his head. ”It is unfortunate that I still require time to reassemble my physical body. If I were to recover, I could easily confront the Holy Dragon Family and stop them with a mere glance.”

”At present, I cannot provide any demonic energy. This is a crisis of life or death for you.”

”I can only hope for a turn of events.”

It was not that the Demon Emperor did not wish to assist Ye Chen. He simply did not want his physical body to be destroyed.

However, if Ye Chen were in mortal danger, he remained willing to help.

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly spoke,

”Demon Emperor, does the Asura Demon Attracting Technique imply that the greater the amount of demonic energy, the stronger it becomes?”
