The Divine Urban Physician

This team was a subsidiary force of the Demon Venerable’s Palace.

They had long been aware of the Demon Emperor’s remnant force located in Devil Bone Mountain.

However, the Demon Emperor was already dead, and his only daughter had fallen into the Demon Sea, so they had ignored it.

Now, circumstances had changed. The Demon Emperor’s daughter had reappeared. Who knew if she would seek out the remnants of the past?

”All of you go in and look for Old Monster He!”

In the past, one of the Demon Emperor’s subordinates, He Rong, had been heavily injured, but had survived. After escaping to Devil Bone Mountain, he had not been heard from again.

After the figure finished speaking, he left, choosing to wait quietly for news.

In addition to this, he had also sent his subordinates to eliminate the other remnants of the Demon Emperor’s forces.

Ye Chen and Mu Yan were unaware of any of this. The two of them traveled together and encountered some formations along the way, which they easily resolved.

When they were only two hours away from He Rong’s residence, they were confronted by an old man covered in blood.

The old man was extremely powerful, and his eyes were filled with greed. Upon seeing Ye Chen and Mu Yan, he instinctively recognized that they were not ordinary individuals.

However, demons had no rules, and this was especially true at Devil Bone Mountain.

”Hand over your storage rings and everything you possess, including your clothes, and I will let you go!”

The old man’s cold voice resonated as boundless demonic energy swept outward.

”Are you truly going to stop me?” Ye Chen shook his head in helplessness.

With the Rotten Beast Sword in his hand, he charged directly toward the old man.

When the old man saw Ye Chen rushing at him with the Rotten Beast Sword, a strange expression crossed his face.

This was the first time he had seen a Star Aperture realm expert attack a late-stage Sealed Gate realm expert. However, he did not care. He viewed Ye Chen as merely an ant. Even if this ant possessed some courage, that was all it was.

Unfortunately, when Ye Chen’s Rotten Beast Sword struck down, he realized that he had made a significant mistake.

The sword fell as swiftly as lightning. The old man was caught off guard, and one of his arms was severed.

Even a goshawk would put forth its full strength to hunt a rabbit!

This was the result of an old monster underestimating his opponent.

Ye Chen continued to swing the Rotten Beast Sword, forcing the old man to retreat step by step, his eyes filled with complete shock.

At this moment, he no longer desired to steal their treasures. He only wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

Where did this monster come from? A Star Aperture realm expert pursuing a Sealed Gate realm expert?

”Is it not too late to flee now?”

Ye Chen’s lips curled into a sneer. The laws of time filled the air.

He extended a finger and launched an attack with his soul technique!

The aura of time law continued to condense at his fingertips.

The old man realized that his speed had suddenly become abnormally slow, and Ye Chen’s finger struck him.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, his body aged rapidly, and he fell from the sky to the ground.

Ye Chen approached him slowly, and then placed the Rotten Beast Sword against his neck.

”No, no, no. Please do not kill me; I will give you all my treasures.”

He had thought these two were an easy target, but he had unwittingly struck an iron wall.

”Indeed, I will not kill you!”

Ye Chen’s lips curled into a sinister smile. Then, a golden light shot into the old man’s forehead.

In less than three minutes, the old man’s eyes lost all color.

He stood behind Ye Chen like a puppet.

”Take me to He Rong!”

When the Demon Emperor’s daughter witnessed this scene, a look of shock crossed her face.

A Star Aperture realm expert could actually control the soul of a Sealed Gate realm expert!

Did he possess a soul technique?

Who was this young man?

Soon, they arrived at He Rong’s residence.

Mu Yan entered alone and returned less than an hour later. A hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes.

”It is perfectly normal for him not to want to oppose Jun Mochen,” Ye Chen deduced, smiling.

Jun Mochen was like the sun at the zenith of the demon race. Although he did not entirely control the entire Demon Territory, it was merely a matter of time.

Especially after he had stolen the blood essence, the experts from the Divine Kingdom he had encountered might have assisted Jun Mochen in gaining control over everything.

At that moment, the entire Demon Territory would transform into Jun Mochen’s domain!

Ye Chen had already anticipated this outcome. It remained uncertain whether the Demon Emperor could be resurrected.

If he relied solely on the Demon Emperor’s daughter, even with her assistance, it would not be easy to contend with Jun Mochen.

Just as the two were preparing to leave, a voice resonated, ”Since you are already here, do not depart!”

Ye Chen looked up and saw countless shadows concealed in the sky and in the forest.

They were all Sealed Gate realm experts!

There were even some who were on the verge of reaching the Great Void realm!

At that moment, Ye Chen could barely contend with ninth-level Sealed Gate realm experts, so those who had reached the peak and were on the verge were exceedingly difficult opponents for him.

As one advanced further, it became increasingly challenging to eliminate someone of a higher level.

Even Ye Chen lacked confidence that he could leave safely while facing such formidable opponents.

He gripped the Rotten Beast Sword and the Heavenly Divine Demon Spear tightly, preparing to fight for his life.

In He Rong’s residence, a figure rushed forward. He wore a yellow Daoist robe and held a horsetail whisk in his hand.

”He Rong, since you have shown yourself, you will not escape today.”

One of the subordinates spoke directly, a hint of mockery evident in his gaze as he looked at He Rong.

He Rong had been seriously injured in the past, causing his strength to diminish.

He was now only a first-level Great Void realm expert.

Although he still possessed greater strength, that subordinate was confident that He Rong’s arrival would not alter the outcome of the battle.

”I do not wish to be enemies with Jun Mochen.”

He Rong was unwilling to invite trouble upon himself. Though life on Demon Bone Mountain was dull, he could still survive.

”Words are meaningless. If you kill the two of them, not only will you be able to leave Demon Bone Mountain, but you may even gain favor with the Demon Venerable.”

Upon hearing this, He Rong’s expression grew a shade darker.

Ye Chen chose not to speak. Instead, he observed He Rong’s attitude.

If He Rong was willing to take action, it did not mean that they had no chance of escape.

He Rong contemplated for a moment, then suddenly charged toward Mu Yan.

”Princess, I am sorry!”

”Time has eroded my will.”

”I have failed the Demon Emperor. Though the Demon Emperor is deceased, I cannot fail myself.”

As soon as He Rong finished speaking, he reached Mu Yan in an instant and raised his palm, striking her.

Although Ye Chen had remained vigilant, he still underestimated He Rong’s speed.

It was already too late for him to provide support!

The slap struck Mu Yan, sending her flying backward, blood spilling from her mouth.

In the next moment, He Rong rushed forward, the horsetail whisk in his hand, aiming to kill Mu Yan.

At that moment, Ye Chen had already positioned himself in front of Mu Yan.

The Heavenly Divine Demon Spear was thrust forward!

At the moment of contact, Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.

Even injured, He Rong could not be underestimated.

The horsetail whisk landed back in He Rong’s hand. Ye Chen turned to Mu Yan.

”Are you alright?”
