The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1255: Exceeding Expectations

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Everyone, do you know of Li Jiawei, the sect master of the Kun Sword Sect in Spirit City?” Ye Chen asked calmly.

As soon as he said that, the expressions of the Star Sword Sect’s sect master, ancestor, and the others changed. They stared at Ye Chen with puzzled expressions, as if they were trying to figure out the reason why he was asking this question. Some of them guessed what this was about.

“Little Brother Ye, you must have promised the master of the Blood Demon Mountain something, right?” The ancestor of the Star Sword Sect stroked his beard and smiled.

He personally poured Ye Chen some wine and smiled. “The sect master of the Kun Sword Sect is now one of the eight giants of Spirit City. Even we don’t dare to provoke him. Although Little Brother Ye’s combat strength is comparable to a fifth-level Semi Divine realm expert, it’s not enough!”

“Three hundred years ago, Sect Master Li Jiawei had already reached the ninth level of the Semi Divine realm.”

“I heard that he was in secluded cultivation. No, wait, he just concluded his secluded cultivation, in which case, he might have advanced to the Divine King realm.”

...
“In short, Little Brother Ye, you are no match for him. It’s better not to seek trouble with an expert of that level!”

Ye Chen was a peerless genius. However, his potential had yet to be converted into strength. Therefore, it would be unwise of him to provoke Li Jiawei at this point in time.

However, none of them pressed the matter. After all, they were all here to befriend Ye Chen. Calling him weak would be counterproductive to the objective of the banquet.

“Little Brother Ye, do you know about Spirit City’s Heavenly God rankings?” Another kind-looking old man smiled slightly.

“I don’t. What is that?” Ye Chen replied.

The kind-looking old man said seriously, “Spirit City’s Heavenly God rankings contains a hundred spots for Semi Divine realm experts. The weakest one is a fifth-level Semi Divine realm expert, but his combat strength is comparable to a sixth-level Semi Divine realm expert. Coupled with the sixth-grade immortal artifact he possesses, he can deal with most ordinary seventh-level Semi Divine realm experts.”

“However, the point I’m trying to make is with regards to Li Jiawei’s ranking. He is ranked tenth!”

“Before concluding his secluded cultivation, he was a ninth-level Semi Divine realm expert, and he wields an eighth-grade immortal weapon, as well as an eighth-grade immortal armor.”

“He’s also the sect master of the Kun Sword Sect, one of the Eight Great Sects of Spirit City, so he also has immense power and influence. Furthermore, he was recognized as the expert closest to the Divine King realm, which means that there’s a high chance that he has broken through.”

The City Lord of Swords Gate City gulped down a few cups of wine and chimed in, “I know that the master of the Blood Demon Mountain has definitely asked you to kill Li Jiawei!”

“Killing a normal ninth-level Semi Divine realm expert is doable. However, Li Jiawei is both powerful, and shameless. He will resort to poison and all sorts of underhanded methods to deal with his enemies, which is how he defeated the master of the Blood Demon Mountain.”

“We don’t want you to die!” He approached Ye Chen and patted him gently on the shoulder, speaking like an elder.

“Perhaps you have a trump card and a powerful expert behind you, but that expert can’t possibly be by your side all the time, right?”

“Once Li Jiawei finds out that you are planning to kill him, you will have to watch your every step, including what you eat or drink every day.”

“The reason why we are saying all of this is mainly because we value your potential and want to befriend you!” The sect master of the Star Sword Sect sighed. “After all, a peerless genius like you has never been seen before!”

“We all want to invest in your future and help you grow stronger.”

They had to act now and grasp this opportunity.

If they waited until Ye Chen reached the Dao Integration realm in the future and became a famous peerless expert, even if they sold all their assets to befriend Ye Chen, he would probably not even spare them a glance!

It had to be said that they were all sharp-eyed people.

Of course, it was also possible that they had been stuck outside Spirit City for too long and had lost hope of ever gaining entry by their own strength. If this was the case, they had no choice but to invest in some young peerless geniuses, hoping that when these peerless geniuses became stronger, they would be able to call in the favor for permission to enter Spirit City and use the Spatial Teleportation Formation to travel to other planes.

“Seniors, I understand. However, I will definitely fulfill my promise to him.”

Ye Chen said disdainfully, “Besides, Li Jiawei is a man with a high status, yet is always using despicable means to deal with people. If I don’t get rid of this villain, if he defects to the Blood Spirit Clan in the future, the Kunlun Mountains will be in danger!”

He knew that in order to become stronger, Li Jiawei even dared to plot against the master of the Blood Demon Mountain, who was a first-level Divine King realm then, when he was only an eighth-level Semi Divine realm expert.

Once the next group of Blood Spirit Clan experts arrived, Li Jiawei would likely defect and cause Ye Chen all kinds of problems, and his underhanded methods would likely result in the deaths of many of the Kunlun Mountains’ experts, including people he cared about.

Therefore, it was best for him to finish off this despicable person before he went to find Ji Siqing and Xia Ruoxue.

“Seniors, there’s no need to be anxious. I understand your good intentions.”

Ye Chen’s tone was calm. His gaze swept across the ten Semi DIvine realm experts in front of him. “All you have to do is tell me where Li Jiawei is and what martial techniques he’s known to use. After I enter Spirit City, I’ll challenge Li Jiawei and kill him!”

“About this…”

“You…”

Many sect masters and city lords were hesitating.

Suddenly, a young man quickly ran over and whispered something into the ears of the Star Sword Sect’s ancestor.

“I support you!” The ancestor of the Star Sword Sect quickly made his decision.

He was delighted. “I didn’t expect Little Brother Ye to be the Hall Master of the Kunlun Mountains’ Radiant Hall, and the number one expert of the Kunlun Mountains. With your level of talent and trump cards, you’ve triumphed in hundreds of battles, so I believe you can kill Li Jiawei!”

While the ancestor of the Star Sword Sect was speaking, the other top-notch experts also received the news from the subordinates they had sent to the Kunlun Mountains to investigate Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was not just a peerless genius, but he was the number one expert in the Kunlun Mountains. Furthermore, all of the sects and forces in the Kunlun Mountains obeyed his orders!

This far exceeded their expectations. They had thought that they were supporting a lone genius, or one who was part of a major sect. However, Ye Chen essentially had the entire Kunlun Mountains behind him. Furthermore, they knew that several Semi Divine realm experts had begun to emerge in the Kunlun Mountains.
