The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2156: Why Is He Here?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wei Ying’s expression was serious. She frowned and muttered, ”There are less than 20 days till his agreed upon battle with Ling Yun. Should he not focus on his cultivation during this time?”

”Why did he come to the Southern Region?”

Bai shook her head. ”I do not know, Palace Master, but he is currently stuck at the border of the Southern Region. He should be fine.”

”Do you need me to go to the border and inform Ye Chen?”

”He does not know my identity,” Wei Ying said after a moment of silence. ”He should not be able to find me.”

”The people from the Divine Kingdom’s Mu Family will eventually find this place.”

”This battle cannot be avoided. Even if Ye Chen comes, it will not help. Instead, he will just waste his life.”

”Help me keep an eye on his movements.”

”I have a bad feeling that the cultivators from the Divine Kingdom will pose a significant threat to the rise of the Juehan Palace.”

”Senior told me that the path of cultivation cannot be too smooth. When it is smooth, the pain I will face in the future could be enough to bring about my own demise.”

”Since things have come to this, the Juehan Palace cannot retreat.”

Bai hesitated. ”Palace Master, you are still injured... Why don’t we hide for now?”

”If it truly does not work, we will go and invite that person.”

Wei Ying placed her hands behind her back ”The Juehan Palace was the number one sect in ancient times. It was established hundreds of years before the Divine Kingdom. Now that the families of the Divine Nation have declared war on us, we will make sure they understand who it is that they have messed with!”

”Bai, send a letter of challenge to those people. Set a place for me to meet them personally!”

As soon as she finished speaking, an overwhelming pressure enveloped the entire hall, and the temperature dropped to an extreme low.

Bai let out a long sigh. She understood very well that the Palace Master was being stubborn.

Although the Juehan Palace was now qualified to fight against the first-tier forces and some of the top-tier powers in the Lingwu Continent, they were still worried about the families from the Divine Kingdom.

”Bai, leave.”

”Yes, Palace Master.”

At the same time, on Ye Chen’s side, the atmosphere was tense.

If it were not for the dean’s instructions, perhaps he would have taken action long ago.

These people posed no threat to him.

Bai Shan looked at Ye Chen’s expression, and his eyes flashed.

They would occasionally take advantage of outsiders, but the higher-ups would turn a blind eye. However, if Ye Chen were truly angry and attacked without regard for the consequences, this matter would definitely reach the ears of the experts guarding this frontier fortress. This was not what they hoped for.

Immediately, Bai Shan smiled at Ye Chen. ”Ye Chen, do not worry. Why do we not play a game?” Once the game is over, your information might be revealed. What do you think?”

Ye Chen’s eyes darkened. A game?

It seemed Bai Shan and these few people were finally going to get to the point.

Seeing that Ye Chen did not respond, a cultivator beside him had a cold glint in his eyes. Since they had spoken, how could Ye Chen refuse this matter?

”What?” the cultivator asked immediately. ”Is Brother Ye not interested? Are you not interested in playing games? Or is it that you are hostile towards the Southern Region’s people and do not wish to have a good relationship with us? Hmm?”

”Hehe, maybe he is nervous?” Another cultivator laughed playfully. ”If he had other motives for coming to our Southern Region, he would definitely not be in the mood to play games now, right?”

”That is right,” another person added. ”After all, when a normal person is waiting, it would be a pleasure to have someone accompany him to have fun and pass the time. Would that not be more than welcome?”

At this moment, Bai Shan put on a fake smile and said slowly to Ye Chen, ”Ye Chen, we do not have any intention of targeting you. However, if you do not even want to play a game, it is somewhat strange. We are not saying that there is anything wrong with you, but we cannot allow you to enter the Southern Region just to be safe. I am sure you understand, right?”

Ye Chen took a deep breath and said calmly, ”What game? Tell me.”

Ye Chen wanted to see what these people were up to.

Bai Shan and the others were delighted when they heard this, and they exchanged glances.

Bai Shan immediately walked to Ye Chen’s side and patted him on the shoulder. He smiled gently and said, ”Follow me. This game is quite interesting. I believe you will enjoy it.”

Ye Chen ignored Bai Shan’s words. He only said calmly, ”If this game ends and my information is not confirmed, you will have to bear the consequences.”

Bai Shan looked at Ye Chen playfully and smiled.

”Lead the way.” Ye Chen stood up and nodded slightly.

Bai Shan and the others immediately led Ye Chen to a location within the frontier fortress.

Soon, they arrived at an extremely open area.

Ye Chen looked at the scenery before him, and his eyes could not help but flicker.

This place appeared to have been artificially modified into a circular race track. It looked quite similar to a race track on Earth.

At this moment, Bai Shan narrowed his eyes and said to Ye Chen, ”Ye Chen, do you know anything about spiritual beasts?”

Ye Chen heard this and shook his head. ”I am not sure.”

Bai Shan sneered inwardly. Spiritual beasts could be considered one of the specialties of the Southern Region.

In the entire Lingwu Continent, only the Southern Region had developed spiritual beast competitions into a popular entertainment for the masses. In terms of understanding spiritual beast competitions, the people of the Southern Region were undoubtedly the best.

Bai Shan explained, ”It is very simple to compete with spiritual beasts. This race track has a total of five slots. In a while, we will choose one from each of the thousands of spiritual beasts. When we have five, we will use them to compete. We will see who chooses the most outstanding spiritual beast and can obtain first place. Simple, right?”

Ye Chen also looked at Bai Shan playfully and said, ”Oh? Is that it?”

If this game were truly that simple, Bai Shan and the others would not have gone through so much trouble to bring him here.

Bai Shan chuckled and said, ”Besides that, our Southern Region has a tradition. When the spirit beasts are competing, we add some prizes to increase the fun of the game. Otherwise, would it not be boring to just watch the spiritual beasts race?”

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed. This person had finally revealed his motive!

Meanwhile, the few cultivators had also subtly surrounded Ye Chen. The aura they exuded was slightly revealed. Now, even if Ye Chen wished to refuse, they would not let him.

The few of them looked at Ye Chen with sinister smiles. No matter how monstrous or strong a Creation realm cultivator, could he withstand the pressure of several Star Aperture realm experts, and one who was about to reach the Sealed Gate realm?

Even if Ye Chen possessed a will as strong as steel, they believed that in the end, Ye Chen would crumble under their pressure. This was also their usual tactic.

The beast arena was not like the pavilion. If they truly fought, they could kill Ye Chen. As long as they handled it properly, they would not necessarily expose their tracks and be discovered by those in authority.

This was also the reason why they chose to be here.

However, these few people did not genuinely intend to kill or rob.

If they were not careful and exposed, it would not be a small matter. Given the personality of the person in charge, the punishment would undoubtedly be severe.
