The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1297: Golden Opportunity

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Therefore, every family and sect longed to enter the Lingwu Continent, but they had never had the chance to do so in the past ten thousand years!

The moment they were given a chance, they would go crazy, just like the Star Sword Sect’s ancestor, who despite the risks involved, dove head-first into danger.

“What do you mean by that?”

The two family heads were not ordinary people either, and had reached the seventh level of the Semi Divine realm. They stared at the Grand Elder of the Wild Blade Sect closely.

“I have a suitable plan for our sects and families. Would you be willing to give it a try?”

The Wild Blade Sect’s Grand Elder smiled and continued, “If this plan succeeds, we can enter the Lingwu Continent. However, even if it fails, we will only lose a generation of top disciples.”

...
“Spill the beans already.”

The two family heads stood with their hands behind their backs, waiting in anticipation.

The many disciples and guardians behind them were still confused. They were still staring at Ye Chen. No one dared to go mess with Ye Chen, and he did not move either, waiting for them to finish their discussion.

To him, it did not matter what the outcome of their discussion was. In the end, he would put an end to it with his sword.

“Family heads, this kid was extremely arrogant that day, and by my estimates, he’s about as strong as a fifth or sixth-level Semi Divine realm expert now.”

There was killing intent hidden behind his expression. He smiled. “If that’s the case, he’s not a late-stage Semi Divine realm expert. Furthermore, it just so happens that the Blood Sword Sect wants to get rid of him!”

“The Blood Sword Sect is the sect closest to the Kunlun Mountains. With several Dao Integration realm experts and a dozen or so of Primordial Chaos realm experts, they will definitely exterminate the Kunlun Mountains in a year’s time. In that case, we won’t have a chance to gain any credit!”

“Are you saying that we should get rid of Ye Chen now?” the head of the Li family asked.

“No. Ye Chen can’t die now!”

“But he can be crippled! We can hold a genius gathering and have our disciples go out to fight him, with the aim to cripple him. With this, we can show our goodwill to the Blood Sword Sect, but we won’t incur Venerable Immortal Ling Yun’s wrath!”

“Everyone, think about it. A fair genius gathering!”

“If Ye Chen is beaten up until he is crippled by our disciples, who can blame us?”

“It’s just a fight between the younger generation. It has nothing to do with us, the older generation.”

“How many rounds can he fight anyway? Even if he defeats seven or eight of our disciples, he’ll have run out of energy by then.”

“Everyone here knows that this kid was heavily injured by a Primordial Chaos realm elder of the Blood Sword Sect, and is no longer as strong as he was that day.”

“With this, we can claim credit for crippling Ye Chen. Perhaps the Blood Sword Sect will let us join them when we enter the Lingwu Continent because of this.”

The head of the Li family stared at Ye Chen with fierce, tiger-like eyes. He sneered and said, “Family Head Wang, this plan will definitely work out in our favor. The trade-off of losing a few disciples in exchange for a chance to enter the Lingwu Continent, and perhaps even join the Blood Sword Sect, is more than worthwhile. A chance like this won’t appear again!”

“As the saying goes, a thousand days to raise an army for a single moment. We have nurtured generations of disciples, so it’s time for them to pay us back.”

“That’s fine. I agree.” The head of the Wang family nodded and looked at the other three, asking, “Will the other three families and six sects agree?”

“Definitely!”

“Now that the Blood Sword Sect is involved, it’s no longer the sect masters who make the decisions, but the grand elders!”

“I understand the other grand elders well.” The Grand Elder of the Wild Blade Sect stood with his hands behind his back and smiled. “Once they hear of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if there’s only a 10% chance of success, they’ll give it their all!”

“As for the other Zhao, Lin, and Chen families, I’ll need the two family heads to talk to them about this!”

He had a confident look on his face. He wanted to use Ye Chen as a springboard for them to leave Spirit City.

Tens of thousands of years ago, everyone thought that Spirit City was a good place. They were in charge of guarding the Spatial Teleportation Formations, and had access to more resources and treasures than the rest of the Kunlun Mountains. However, gradually, the various family heads and sects understood that Spirit City was a prison.

The people outside could not enter even if they wanted to, but the people inside could not travel to other planes easily either. If they used the Spatial Teleportation Formation to the Lingwu Continent, they would become the weakest cultivators in the Lingwu Continent!

Middle and late-stage Semi Divine realm experts were dazzling and powerful in Spirit City, but were as common as cabbages in the Lingwu Continent. Without any backing, they would be doomed!

After all, there were no Divine King-grade artifacts in Spirit City, so none of them could advance to the Divine King realm.

Almost all of the Semi Divine realm experts who traveled to the Lingwu Continent from the various sects and families died. Those who did not die ended becoming slaves to the various factions there.

Therefore, only by allowing the families and sects of Spirit City to enter Lingwu Continent together would they have a chance to protect themselves, and even then, they would need a backer.

If they had the backing of the Blood Sword Sect, they would be safe, and would be able to eventually grow to the point where they could protect themselves and safeguard their own interests.

Therefore, Ye Chen’s current predicament was an opportunity for them. They had to make the most of it.

Even if the Blood Sword Sect did not take them in, they would at least be able to request a favor, and perhaps obtain the technique of refining Divine King-grade artifacts, which would allow the ancestors of the various factions to advance to Divine King realm. That would give them a fighting chance at protecting themselves in the Lingwu Continent.

“I’ll contact them now! With Ye Chen’s help this time, we might be able to succeed!” The head of the Wang family wasted no time and began to contact the other family heads.

I’ll contact the other six sects’ Grand Elders. As for the problem of those spiritual herbs, how should we solve it?” the Blood Heaven Sect’s Grand Elder asked tentatively.
