The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2126: The Only Variable

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He observed the girl, who had created a barrier around her, and understood that if he did not inform the family head, those in the main hall would remain unaware of this significant event.

He instinctively took a step back, but before he could retreat further, a chilling voice pierced the air. ”Did you cause Ye Chen’s injuries?”

The elder halted, his desire to speak stifled by a sudden silence.

”Very well, if you choose not to speak, I shall assume you are responsible.”

As soon as she concluded her statement, Wei Ying clenched her fist tightly.

In an instant, the elder was obliterated.

First, he realized that something was amiss and attempted to escape, yet he found his feet seemingly frozen to the ground.

Then, an icicle erupted from the earth and impaled his body from head to toe!

It was a horrific sight!

His eyes remained wide open, so it was clear that he endured excruciating pain in the final moments of his life.

”And you all,” Wei Ying stated coldly.

Then, more icicles manifested!

Every elder of the Holy Dragon Family who was still alive met the same fate, their bodies pierced by icicles.

This was a manifestation of Wei Ying’s wrath.

She had arrived too late!

The sight of Ye Chen in such a state was unbearable for her.

All that she possessed was due to Ye Chen, so she would not permit anyone to harm him.

She had obtained the legacy of the Juehan Palace and the accumulated cultivation of the esteemed seniors of the Juehan Palace. She even possessed their secrets!

Her motivations did not stem from a desire for fame or power. She merely wished to be capable of protecting the man who once lived across from her.

That man was called Professor Ye.

Unbeknownst to her, the shadow of this man had been permanently etched into her mind.

She could recall every moment spent at Capital City University.

Gradually, she realized she had fallen in love with this man.

When one loves another, one should protect them at all costs.

In Huaxia, in the Kunlun Mountains, Ye Chen had taken care of her unconditionally.

Therefore, in the Lingwu Continent, she yearned to protect this stubborn man in silence.

This was the primary reason she ascended to the position of Palace Master of the Juehan Palace.

The secrets of the Lingwu Continent, the Great Void realm, Disaster Slaying realm, and the title of Palace Master were of little concern to her.

What truly mattered was the person she loved.

Within the desolate ruins of the Holy Dragon Family’s side palace, the ground was frozen and intensely cold.

Blood-red snow cascaded from the heavens, creating an eerie spectacle.

Upon the ice stood a young girl clad in white, her face veiled. She resembled a plum blossom, blooming alone in the cold.

More importantly, icicles lay scattered across the frozen ground.

Each icicle was lodged within the lifeless bodies, which made for a terrifying scene.

Wei Ying’s gaze eventually settled on Mu Feng.

Mu Feng trembled and hastily exclaimed, ”You... you cannot kill me. I hail from the Divine Kingdom’s Mu family...”

”To kill me is to provoke the Divine Kingdom!”

”You shall be pursued by the Divine Kingdom!”

Wei Ying remained expressionless.

She approached Mu Feng step by step until she halted before him.

”Even the Divine Kingdom cannot deter me from ending your life.”

”Moreover, a few days ago, I eliminated a member of the Mu Family.”

”So do not worry, you will not be the first. Of course... you certainly will not be the last!”

”You dare to meddle with my man’s dantian? You have a death wish!”

In an instant, Wei Ying unleashed her murderous intent, and countless ice arrows materialized in the sky, and then pierced Mu Feng.

Mu Feng felt a multitude of sharp arrowheads pierce through his heart. His eyes widened in shock, and he died there and then.

Simultaneously, Mu Tiancheng sensed that something had transpired with Mu Feng.

”Oh no!” His expression shifted dramatically as he urgently addressed Long Hongtian, ”This is not good! Something has happened!”

As soon as he uttered those words, two figures rapidly advanced toward the side palace.

Long Hongtian’s countenance was equally dark. He understood that the truth could no longer be concealed!

...

Meanwhile, within the ruins of the side palace.

Wei Ying did not move toward Ye Chen. Instead, she gazed in a particular direction and murmured, ”Senior, you have been observing for so long. Why do you not come forth?”

As soon as she finished speaking, an elderly man holding a wine gourd emerged with a smile.

It was the Eternal Sacred King!

The Eternal Sacred King regarded Wei Ying with a smile and said, ”Little girl, you are quite perceptive, but do not worry. Ultimately, Ye Chen and I remain friends.”

He took a sip of his wine and continued, ”I did not anticipate that that old fellow would transfer all of his cultivation to you. Fortunately, you possess the Fiendish Blood Cold Body, a rarity in ten thousand years, so you are capable of withstanding it. An ordinary person would have succumbed long ago.”

”Fascinating,” Wei Ying remarked, her respect for the Eternal Sacred King evident.

She could not decipher the old man’s cultivation, indicating that he was stronger than she was.

”Since you are a friend of Ye Chen, why have you merely observed him in this state without intervening?”

The Eternal Sacred King found a rock to sit upon, waving the wine gourd in his hand. ”Little girl, would you like a drink? This wine is quite delightful.”

”Answer my question,” Wei Ying replied icily.

”I cannot bring myself to offer it to you.” The Eternal Sacred King shook his head in resignation. ”However, I am able to respond to your inquiry.”

”It is not feasible for me to act. In fact, I cannot even reveal my presence.”

”From whom are you concealing yourself?” Wei Ying’s brow furrowed in concern. ”What is your cultivation level?”

”Indeed,” the Eternal Sacred King affirmed. ”Cultivation?” He chuckled softly. ”It has been ages since anyone has inquired about that. You may refer to me as a peak-level Great Void realm expert, or perhaps a half-step Disaster Slaying realm expert. I have lingered at the edge of the Disaster Slaying realm for far too long, so long that I have lost count of the years.”

Wei Ying was taken aback. ”Why have you not broken through? Are you fearful of the tribulation?”

The Eternal Sacred King shook his head. ”Why would I fear that entity? It would be easy for me to transcend the tribulation. However, I prefer to remain hidden.”

”Little girl, given that you have inherited the legacy of the Juehan Palace, you ought to be aware of certain truths.”

”The waters of the Divine Kingdom are becoming increasingly treacherous. The burden you carry is substantial.”

”If you persist in your investigation, it may lead to your demise.”

”This is not a threat.”

”I am unafraid of death.” Wei Ying’s eyes glimmered with resolve. ”Even when confronting a being far beyond me, I shall seek vengeance for the Juehan Palace.”

The Eternal Sacred King stood, brushing dust from his garments. He regarded the unconscious Ye Chen. ”Little girl, you still do not comprehend.”

”You have yet to witness the true horrors concealed within the depths of the Divine Kingdom.”

”Nevertheless, it is not as though you lack the opportunity for revenge.”

”Even with my level of cultivation, I must tread carefully as I set a trap. This pertains to your Juehan Palace and the fate of the world.”

”How can I exact revenge?” Wei Ying questioned, her eyes filled with uncertainty.

The Eternal Sacred King took another sip of wine and smiled. ”He is the only variable in the Eternal Chess Game.”

”If he does not meet an untimely end, even the Divine Kingdom will be compelled to yield!”

”I have conveyed what I needed. You must discern the rest on your own. Furthermore, you are in peril. You cannot annihilate the Holy Dragon Family at this moment, so cease your actions here. Take Ye Chen and depart swiftly. If those ancient beings from the Holy Dragon Family, who have slumbered for millennia, awaken, you will find yourself in dire straits.”

Upon completing his statement, the Eternal Sacred King vanished.
