The Divine Urban Physician

The elder, dressed in rough clothing, gazed at the Eternal Sacred King with a trace of helplessness in his murky eyes.

This was the helplessness that came from the current world situation.

The ancient era had passed, and the Divine Kingdom now held dominion, controlling the rules of the world.

Anyone who dared to stand in the way of the Divine Kingdom would face death.

The ancient Juehan Imperial Palace had been cut off from the world, and the Divine Kingdom had devoted all of its resources to obliterating it in a single night.

The ruler of the Demon Territory, the arrogant Demon Emperor, had challenged the authority of the Divine Kingdom and was subsequently killed by the Divine Kingdom and his former subordinates.

From that moment on, no one dared to challenge the Divine Kingdom.

No one dared to break the rules established by the powerful and esteemed.

The Juehan Palace and the Demon Emperor served as glaring examples.

Time passed swiftly.

At last, someone arose.

He had a fondness for wine, but he cherished his homeland even more.

The old man in coarse clothing settled back down in front of the board. ”Old Yong, let us play another game.” His aged voice rang out.

”In this match, I will align myself with that young man.”

”Furthermore, after this game, I will return to the Divine Kingdom. I shall do everything in my power to stop the Heavenly Dao Palace from pursuing you.”

”From this moment forth, I will no longer remain an indifferent figure from the Divine Kingdom. I also hope to contribute more to this world.”

The Eternal Sacred King’s body froze, and a kind smile spread across his face. He took a step forward and returned to the board from the cliff.

He held a white stone in his hand and landed safely.

”Thank you, old man.”

...

The scene shifted.

In the maple forest, at the entrance of the ruins.

The Seventh Prince’s slap had not only stunned the servant girl, but had also left Ye Chen in confusion.

Although the Seventh Prince was not particularly strong, based on his aura and the strength of those around him, he appeared to be far more distinguished than Sikong Feixing of the Western Region’s royal family.

Could it be that this individual had perceived his true strength?

However, Ye Chen soon realized that he was overthinking the situation.

The Seventh Prince moved his hands and coldly addressed the servant girl, ”Fool, can you not see that this person is merely a dog blocking the way? To call a dog to bow to me? Are you insulting me? Or are you mocking me?”

”Only humans have the right to bow to me, do you understand?”

A cold glint flashed across Ye Chen’s eyes upon hearing this.

This was contempt and discrimination that stemmed from the depths of this fellow’s heart.

It was a gaze of disdain that was etched into his very being.

If it had been any other insult, Ye Chen could have faced it with composure. However, he could not overlook the scorn of someone like the Seventh Prince.

He understood that this person was genuine in his belief that everyone outside of the Southern Region was worthless.

If given the opportunity, he would undoubtedly slaughter everyone, and there would be no mercy whatsoever.

Ye Chen did not consider himself a virtuous person. However, while the Seventh Prince before him possessed noble status, extraordinary demeanor, and even a hint of elegance, in Ye Chen’s eyes, the Seventh Prince was not human at all. He was a true beast.

This individual had successfully ignited his fury!

He smiled coldly at the Seventh Prince and slowly stated, ”The royal family members of the Southern Region are quite noisy people. There is no one here. It would indeed be a pity if they perished here.”

”Hahahahaha!” The Seventh Prince erupted into laughter.

Suddenly, his laughter ceased, and he glared at Ye Chen with eyes filled with a murderous intent that seemed ready to manifest.

He clenched his teeth tightly, as if he was struggling to contain his rage. His white teeth creaked and nearly shattered under the pressure.

He was the Seventh Prince of the Southern Region!

A member of the noble royal family!

A twisted smile curled upon the Seventh Prince’s lips as he addressed the old woman beside him, ”Elder Tong, disable him, but do not kill him. I fear I might grow weary during this exploration of the ruins. It would be entertaining to have another target to torment along the way, would it not?”

”Do not worry, Seventh Prince. I know what to do.” The old woman responded with a knowing smile.

As she spoke, she advanced toward Ye Chen. A peculiar smile appeared on her wrinkled old face, making her seem particularly terrifying. She smiled at Ye Chen and said, ”Young man, your talent is commendable for reaching the Star Aperture realm at this young age. However, do you not think you are a bit foolish? Or perhaps you are blind? Can you not see me?”

”Despite this, you still possessed the audacity to utter such words. Hehe, you are indeed young, reckless, and fearless.”

Ye Chen’s expression grew serious.

He could not contend with this old woman given her cultivation lever, even though he could sense that much of this old woman’s power was derived from her accumulation of medicinal pills.

With her present, he could not attack the Seventh Prince.

However, if he chose to flee, this group of people would be powerless to stop him.

Moreover, he still possessed the Red Dust Divine Bloodline.

Ye Chen smiled calmly. ”What? Are you suggesting that you will allow me to leave if I flatter you?”

”Let you go?” The old woman laughed. ”Have you made an error? Originally, if the Seventh Prince had shown mercy, he might have allowed you to die swiftly. Soon, you will realize how foolish your choice is, and how blissful death should have been.”

With that, the old woman’s aura surged wildly and bore down upon Ye Chen. The Seventh Prince had instructed her not to kill Ye Chen, so she had no intention of attacking him directly.

After all, she was an eighth-level Sealed Gate realm expert.

Attack? What an absurd notion?!

She believed that even using her aura was rather excessive.

Under the weight of her aura, this boy’s bones would likely shatter and reduce him to a mere pile of flesh, right?

In order for him to be tormented by the Seventh Prince and serve as an outlet for his anger, he had to be preserved.

However, moments later, the atmosphere abruptly became silent.

In the face of the old woman’s aura, Ye Chen maintained his composure, hands resting behind his back, and sneered.

Not to mention shattering, her aura did not even seem to affect him at all.

Elder Tong gazed at Ye Chen in bewilderment. For a moment, she felt perplexed.

Why was this occurring?

Could a Star Aperture realm expert truly resist the aura of an eighth-level Sealed Gate realm expert?

She had never heard of such a phenomenon!

In fact, even some weaker Sealed Gate realm experts would be subdued by her aura and sustain injuries.

How could Ye Chen remain unaffected, as if nothing had transpired?

”Elder Tong, what is happening?” The Seventh Prince behind Elder Tong frowned and urged. ”Why have you not yet made your move?”

He assumed that Elder Tong had yet to act, but she had.

Elder Tong coughed several times.

She did not wish to appear foolish before the Seventh Prince.

Elder Tong turned to the Seventh Prince and smiled. ”Seventh Prince, please remain calm. I intended to instill fear in this boy so that the Seventh Prince could appreciate his pitiful demeanor. However, it seems that I have underestimated this individual. I shall subdue him now!”

The Seventh Prince nodded, a smile gracing his lips. ”I understand. Elder Tong, just take him down. Fear? Trembling? In the coming days, he will certainly allow me to see that part of him.”

Elder Tong turned back to Ye Chen with a more serious gaze. It seemed that she had underestimated this boy.
