The Divine Urban Physician

”Who are you?”

Outside the Spirit Immortal Palace, two disciples looked at the figure in the shadows with caution.

”Ye Chen!”

Ye Chen emerged from the darkness.

”Ye Chen, you coward, you finally dared to come and seek your end.” The two disciples appeared slightly startled, but then they sneered.

”The Palace Master really predicted this.”

”The Palace Master has commanded that if you arrive at night, you must crawl through the gates of the Spirit Immortal Palace like a dog!”

”Once you do that, we will announce your arrival.”

Ye Chen’s gaze turned icy. He had not anticipated that the disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace would act in such a manner.

”There’s no need for that.”

No sooner had Ye Chen spoken than he drew the Rotten Beast Sword from his back and gripped it firmly, pointing it toward the entrance of the Spirit Immortal Palace.

Boom!

A wave of ancient sword energy erupted, and the gate of the entrance of the sect shattered.

...

Meanwhile, deep within the palace of the Spirit Immortal Palace, Xia Lingqiu and Ling Yun opened their eyes simultaneously.

Ling Yun unleashed her killing intent, wanting to rise, but she was restrained by a heavy pressure.

”Ling Yun, why are you so eager?”

Xia Lingqiu’s lips curled into a smile. ”Ye Chen did not appear during the day and chose to show himself at night. He must pay a price.”

”Men!”

In the very next moment, ten shadowy figures appeared before Xia Lingqiu.

Xia Lingqiu extended her hand, and ten drops of blood essence materialized at her fingertips. The blood essence flew into the foreheads of the ten individuals as she instructed, ”An insignificant pest has arrived. You shall go and deal with him.”

”If necessary, utilize the formation I taught you.”

The cultivation levels of the ten individuals surged temporarily, their eyes gleaming with joy.

”Yes, Palace Master!”

...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The commotion outside prompted the experts of the Spirit Immortal Palace to soar into the air.

Ye Chen looked up and observed ten experts hovering above him.

”Impudent!” one of the experts bellowed in anger. He fixed his gaze upon Ye Chen with a flash of fury.

”The one-year agreement has not concluded. Today is not yet finished, so the agreement remains in effect. Summon Ling Yun!”

Ye Chen dismissed the expert’s words entirely.

The humiliation and disgrace Ling Yun had inflicted upon him would come to an end today.

”You lack the qualifications to confront our Vice Palace Master!”

One of the experts sneered with disdain and struck out with his hand.

Ye Chen was merely an insignificant ant, yet he dared to show disrespect to their Vice Palace Master. He was courting death!

A massive palm imprint descended from the sky. Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

In an instant, Ye Chen swung his sword. Demonic energy surged forth, and a sharp streak of sword energy soared into the sky.

The streak of sword energy hovered around him, while the trees within a hundred-mile radius suddenly splintered with a loud crack.

Then, a sword beam pierced the palm imprint and surged toward that expert.

Boom!

Puchi!

The expert coughed up blood, and a ghastly wound appeared on his chest, emitting black demonic energy.

His face turned pale as he exerted all his strength to resist the encroaching demonic energy.

”Elder Chen!”

The remaining experts of the Spirit Immortal Palace gathered around Elder Chen. No one had anticipated that Elder Chen would sustain such a severe injury from Ye Chen’s sword strike, who was merely a second-level Star Aperture realm expert.

”Do not forget the Palace Master’s orders. Everyone, attack together and eliminate this arrogant brat!”

Elder Chen roared with fury. He wanted to tear Ye Chen apart right then and there.

A trace of the Palace Master’s power lingered in his forehead, temporarily elevating him to the early stage of the Sealed Gate realm.

However, he had proven to be no match even for a Star Aperture realm expert, so his dignity had been utterly shattered.

Upon hearing Elder Chen’s command, the expressions of the remaining experts shifted slightly.

Ye Chen had defeated Elder Chen with a single strike. Could they truly stop Ye Chen if they joined forces?

In truth, they harbored no confidence, but they had no choice.

If Ye Chen was allowed to invade the Spirit Immortal Palace unchecked, where would their sect’s reputation stand?

As these thoughts crossed their minds, they charged forward, their auras erupting.

Faced with a genius like Ye Chen, they had to summon all their strength.

The noise outside had already roused the disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace, who employed their spiritual senses to investigate.

Upon seeing Ye Chen’s figure, strange expressions appeared on their faces.

The entirety of the Spirit Immortal Palace was aware of Ye Chen and Ling Yun’s one-year pact.

In their eyes, it was merely a jest. They could not believe that Ye Chen would dare to come. The cultivation gap between him and Ling Yun was immense!

Even if Ye Chen had advanced to the second level of the Star Aperture realm, and even if he could battle above his level, so what?

How could Ye Chen possibly compare to the terror of a late-stage Sealed Gate realm expert?

Some disciples admired Ye Chen’s bravery in coming, while others deemed him a fool.

Knowing that a tiger lurked upon the mountain, he approached the beast and courted death!

In a room within the Spirit Immortal Palace, Xia Lingqiu sipped her tea, wearing a mocking smile.

The moment Ye Chen stood outside the door, she had already known, but she chose not to take action.

Who was she? Who was Ye Chen to her?

The so-called one-year agreement was merely a farce in her eyes.

In Xia Lingqiu’s perspective, Ye Chen was not even worth her time to engage.

”Ling Yun, when have I ever harmed you?” She gazed at Ling Yun, whose expression was frigid.

”I shall ensure you do not lose this one-year promise. You need not worry.”

”The ten individuals outside possess a portion of my blood essence power. I shall utilize it to exhaust that boy.”

”Moreover, we shall also ascertain how much that boy has grown.”

”I act with precision. This pertains to the dignity of the sect. Failure is not an option.”

Upon hearing Xia Lingqiu’s words, Ling Yun chose to close her eyes.

...

Outside the Spirit Immortal Palace, Ye Chen advanced toward the nine experts.

Feng Qingyang’s sword essence radiated from his body, filling the entire sky.

Slash!

Ye Chen held the sword firmly and charged directly at an expert. In an instant, he unleashed a powerful slash.

The sword beam erupted with dazzling light and icy sword intent.

Whoosh!

With a single strike, one of the experts was defeated and fell to the ground, his aura reduced to a mere whisper.

From behind Ye Chen, a furious roar erupted. An expert wielded a saber and lunged at him from behind.

Ye Chen’s lips curled into a chilling smile. He tilted his body to evade the saber’s strike. Then, he pivoted and delivered a powerful punch.

Bang!

The punch impacted the other individual’s chest, causing it to cave in, and countless ribs to fracture.

Blood erupted from his chest and he was sent flying.

”I seek only Ling Yun’s life! If you impede me, you shall only be throwing away your own lives!”

Kacha!

The flowers, grass, and trees on the ground became coated in layers of frost. Snowflakes danced in the air, crystalline and pure.

Around Ye Chen, ice spread rapidly, enveloping the Rotten Beast Sword in a layer of frost.
