The Divine Urban Physician

”Long Hongtian, do you still have the audacity to question me about this?” Mu Tiancheng stood up suddenly, his expression serious.

”This woman appeared in your Holy Dragon Family, while I lost my only son! How can I accept this?!”

Long Hongtian quickly expressed his apologies. ”Mister Mu, I am truly sorry. However, you have seen that the Holy Dragon Family has suffered the greatest loss. We have lost more than half of our Sealed Gate realm elders. Not only that, but we will also become a complete joke in the entire Holy Dragon City and even the Lingwu Continent.”

”If this tragedy could have been avoided, of course, I would not wish for it to happen. As for your son, I am very sorry. Our family owes Mister Mu a life!”

Bang!

Mu Tiancheng slammed his palm onto the jade platform beside him, shattering it into powder.

”Long Hongtian, can your Holy Dragon Family afford to pay? We are from the Mu family of the Divine Kingdom!”

”Do you understand what that means?”

”You...” Before he could finish speaking, an old voice rang out. ”Little fellow from the Mu family, are you not going too far?”

”This place you are standing on is, after all, the territory of our family.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Grand Elders of the Holy Dragon Family unleashed their pressure.

Mu Tiancheng, already injured, felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

”Hmph! Are you planning to threaten me?” he asked the Grand Elders.

”I am afraid so.” An old man, stooped and frail, from the Holy Dragon Family stood up. ”You can consider it a threat.”

”It is not as if we have not visited the Divine Kingdom before. Since you were sent here, it must mean that your status in the Mu Family is not high.”

”As for our Holy Dragon Family, every thousand years, the lord of the Nine Heavens Saint Dragon Hall comes to take a look.”

”Do you truly believe you have the qualifications to confront us?”

Mu Tiancheng returned to his seat.

He was not afraid of the Holy Dragon Family, but he was wary of the Nine Heavens Saint Dragon Hall behind them.

After a long silence, he said, ”Seniors, I grieve for the loss of my son. That is why I have been so rude. Please forgive me!”

When Long Hongtian saw that Mu Tiancheng had actually compromised, his eyes widened in shock.

From the moment he was born, he had heard the legends of the Nine Heavens Saint Dragon Palace, and it was the existence that the Holy Dragon Family looked up to.

He had never been there!

What kind of terrifying existence resided in that place that instilled such fear in the people of the Divine Kingdom?

”It is not difficult to investigate that girl’s origins. After all, she is a peerless genius who could reach the Great Void realm in her twenties,” said a Grand Elder.

”Moreover, the few of us joined forces to injure that girl.”

”Furthermore, this young lady’s cultivation technique carries a chilly aura. It should be a cold-attributed cultivation technique.”

”Send someone to investigate. There should be some clues.”

”However, regarding the factions in the Lingwu Continent, I hope that Mr. Mu can investigate the Divine Kingdom... After all, such geniuses are more likely to originate from the Divine Kingdom.”

Mu Tiancheng nodded solemnly. ”This girl is also connected to the matter I came here to investigate. I will set off for the Divine Kingdom immediately and ask the Mu Family to investigate this matter. Once there are results, I will communicate with the seniors.”

”That is good.” The Grand Elders nodded in agreement.

...

In the Lingwu Continent, on an icy mountain.

This place was extremely cold, and there was no sign of life within a hundred miles.

Even cultivators could not endure such low temperatures.

Most importantly, there was no trace of spiritual energy here. It was a complete wasteland.

Snowflakes danced in the air, and silence enveloped the frosty landscape.

However, if one ventured deeper, they would surely discover a magnificent and dazzling ice palace hidden within.

The surroundings of the palace contrasted sharply with the desolate exterior. The spiritual energy had liquefied, forming a river amidst the land of glaciers.

Above the palace was engraved the words...

Juehan Palace!

No one had anticipated that the revival of the ancient Juehan Palace would begin here.

Furthermore, in this place, there were endless opportunities and wealth. It was enough to make the experts of the outside world gasp in awe!

Outside the palace, the martial arts arena was filled with thunderous sounds as a hundred female disciples performed a sword dance.

The aura of each movement was truly overwhelming, and it was obvious that these female disciples were all stunning talents. Countless top forces would vye for their attention.

The palace itself was markedly different from the outside world. It was quiet and oppressive.

Wei Ying sat cross-legged, her face pale, clearly injured.

Bai’s eyes shimmered with tears. She had followed the Palace Master for so long, but this was the first time she had witnessed the Palace Master suffer such severe injuries.

Her heart ached for her.

After a while, Wei Ying opened her eyes. She glanced at Bai coldly and smiled. ”Bai, why are you crying? I did not die.”

Bai wiped away her tears and replied unhappily, ”Palace Master, what are you saying? You rule the world, and your might is evident. You are forever young and immortal. Even if the sky falls, you will not die.”

Wei Ying stood up, and the red robe that trailed on the floor lifted.

Every frown and smile radiated a supreme aura.

”Bai, my cultivation seems to have improved a little this time. As expected, on the path of cultivation, one must contend with the strong.”

”Getting injured is a good thing. If I never experience injury on this path, then when faced with danger, only death awaits.”

”This embodies the Dao of survival. Bai, you must comprehend this as well.”

Bai pouted, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said, ”Palace Master, do not speak nonsense. You are doing this for Ye Chen.”

”If it were not for Ye Chen, how could you be in this state?!”

”Palace Master, your path is destined to be different from Ye Chen’s. Why must you...”

Suddenly, Wei Ying turned around and cast a cold stare at Bai, who immediately quieted down.

She had been by Wei Ying’s side for too long, so she understood what Wei Ying’s expression meant.

It was anger!

”Bai, if you utter that again, you will face the consequences.”

”Ye Chen may still require my assistance now. In the future, it is highly likely that he will be the one to save me.”

”I am doing this not only for myself, but also for Juehan Palace. Do you understand?”

”Very well, I am tired. You may leave.”

Bai nodded and exited.

Once Wei Ying was alone in the hall, she turned to gaze at the ice crystal mural behind her.

The mural depicted a modern skyscraper.

A young man carrying a young girl jumped down.

It was a story that took place in the teachers’ apartments of Capital City University.

”Ye Chen, how long must I wait for your future?”

Upon closer inspection, Wei Ying’s cold eyes were now veiled with a layer of mist.

...

Ye Chen had spent half a day in the Divine Sword Palace and learned about Wang Chuan.

Once, Wang Chuan had been an ordinary mortal. By chance, he saved an ancestor. Later, he was brought into the Divine Sword Palace and accepted as a disciple.

He was initially a mortal with no talent. Over time, he relied on medicinal pills to reach his current realm.

However, it was clear that it would be impossible for him to advance to the Sealed Gate realm in this lifetime.
