The Divine Urban Physician

Ye Chen had seen the marked point on the map. Freezing Sky Mountain was a huge mountain in the depths of the Southern Region.

The temperature of the mountain was extremely low, and the summit was extremely vast. Many Sealed Gate realm experts would settle scores on this mountain.

The area around Freezing Sky Mountain was filled with dense sword essence, representing the many battles fought here.

Freezing Sky Mountain was not too far away from Heavenly Capital City.

Ye Chen wanted to go to the Heavenly Capital City because according to Ge Qing’s intelligence, the mysterious Inheritor had appeared in the Heavenly Capital City before.

Ye Chen also wanted to gather information on this trip. If he was lucky, he might be able to get some information.

However, the further they advanced, the deeper Ye Chen’s frown became.

Why?

It was too quiet along the way!

It was eerily quiet. Although this was the frontiers of the Southern Region, it should not be so desolate.

Could it be that the Eternal Sacred King had cleared the area in advance?

He went deeper for a long time, but he still did not see a single person. This meant that things were not as simple as they seemed.

However, what made him feel strange was that if there was something wrong with this path. There should have been a hint in the information that Ge Qing gave him, but there was nothing mentioned in the information.

Despite this, Ye Chen did not pay too much attention to it.

With his current strength, he was not worried about ordinary dangers.

Ye Chen casually put on his mask. He was not sure if the old man from the Southern Region would come looking for him, but it was safest to cover his face.

At this moment, a gust of black wind suddenly swept past. A creepy laughter could be heard from within the black wind.

The Dark Ray Beast seemed to be frightened and threatened. It raised his front legs and stopped.

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered as he looked at the black wind.

A moment later, the black wind landed in front of Ye Chen, revealing several figures.

Ye Chen focused his gaze and saw that these people had different builds. Some were tall and some were short. However, they all looked rather thin and frail. Moreover, they were all dressed in black. Their faces were extremely pale and devoid of blood. Their sunken eyes flickered with a green light.

What was even more frightening was that there was a huge bat standing on these people. This bat’s entire body was pitch-black, and it had black, shiny, sharp hair. Its pair of strange eyes were similar to those of the men in black. Its mouth was full of fangs, and they were like swords protruding from its mouth, flickering with a terrifying cold light.

The feeling these people gave him reminded him of the Hall of Souls.

Lin Juelong’s aura was exactly the same as these people!

Next to the bat, there were several severely injured martial artists kneeling. Their hands and feet were chained, and their eyes were dim. It was clear that they were captives.

More importantly, these captives were all late-stage and peak-level Star Aperture realm experts!

The Southern Region was more powerful than the Western Region, but Star Aperture realm experts were also considered noble existences in the Southern Region.

How did they end up like this?

The black-robed men swept their gaze across Ye Chen and the Dark Ray Beast. They were stunned at the same time and then revealed a greedy look that was close to madness.

The origin of the Hall of Souls’ cultivation method was related to the demons. Their bodies were stained with demonic energy, so they could naturally sense that the Dark Ray Beast’s demonic essence was extraordinary.

Ye Chen swept his gaze across the crowd and spotted the Hall of Souls’ jade token.

What was the Hall of Souls doing in the Southern Region? Capturing experts... Could it be for those stone coffins?

The giant bat behind them also became restless when it saw Ye Chen and the Dark Ray Beast. The men in black looked at each other and quickly comforted it.

The leader of the group was a tall and thin man. He frowned and grabbed a skinny man on the ground. When the man was grabbed, his originally dim eyes instantly revealed an extremely intense fear. He wailed in a heart-wrenching manner, ”No! Let me go! I am willing to contribute my bloodline!”

As he spoke, he was so scared that he peed his pants.

When the other men and women kneeling on the ground saw this, their bodies trembled as they lowered their heads and covered their ears, as if they were avoiding looking at everything that was happening in front of them.

The tall and thin man in black snorted coldly. Ignoring the wails of the man in the middle of the hand, he threw him directly at the huge bat.

A green light flashed across the giant bat’s eyes. It opened its bloody mouth and bit the man. Its sharp teeth tore through the man’s skin and muscles effortlessly, and blood instantly splashed out.

The man let out a scream of extreme fear and despair.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed coldly. The man’s skin rapidly shriveled. His bloodless skin was extremely pale. In an instant, his blood was sucked dry by the giant bat.

The strange thing was that this martial artist’s bloodline had also disappeared.

The giant bat spat out the man’s dried corpse and smacked its lips. It had finally calmed down.

Although the entire process was not long, the scene was quite cruel and terrifying, especially given the man’s scream when he was bitten by the bat. It was obvious that he had suffered unimaginable pain when the bat sucked his blood dry.

At this moment, the tall and thin man led a few other men in black and completely surrounded Ye Chen.

Ye Chen glanced at these people indifferently. These strange men in black had a chaotic aura, indicating that their bloodlines were extremely impure.

The tall and thin man was the most terrifying. He was actually a Sealed Gate realm expert.

However, Ye Chen could keenly sense that this man’s aura was strange. It seemed to be the result of a forced advancement.

Could it be that the Hall of Souls already possessed the ability to raise one’s bloodline and cultivation?

If it was really built on the basis of robbing other cultivators of their cultivation and bloodline, then that would be too shocking.

The one with the strongest aura was the strange bat behind them.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor’s voice sounded. ”That bat is called a Bloodthirsty Bat. It’s a demonic beast from the Demon Territory. It’s good at absorbing blood essence and energy. Logically speaking, it’s impossible for it to absorb bloodlines...”

”The demonic beasts from the Demon Territory that have escaped the Demon Territory would find it extremely difficult to survive outside. It seems that the people from the Hall of Souls have modified this Bloodthirsty Bat...”

”It looks like Lin Juelong has untold secrets. The Hall of Souls has always liked to delve into this kind of unorthodox path.”

”What is the Hall of Souls trying to do? It has gathered so many experts...”

”Also, the auras of the people in front of you are very strange. They can’t withstand the change in their bloodlines at all. It’s just that their bodies have been planted with seals, so they can barely survive for a period of time.”

Ye Chen’s eyes were solemn. He had a feeling that something big was about to happen in the Lingwu Continent.

If he met Lin Juelong again, he had to kill him at all costs!

One of the Halllof Souls’ experts looked at Ye Chen and said, ”I didn’t expect that we would receive such a huge reward tonight. I heard that the powerful Li Qi from the nearby frontier fortress wanted to deal with our Hall of Souls, so we were about to stop the operation.”

”It looks like even the heavens are helping us!”
