The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3211: Chapter 3988: Crisis of the Tianji Daoist (Fifth Update)

Under Ye Chen’s intense focus, he made an astonishing discovery.

The severed arm wound of Tian Lang carried the causal aura of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

This arm was clearly severed by the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

With the strength and personality of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, if he strikes, he would certainly not leave any survivors. How could he just sever an arm without killing Tian Lang?

Ye Chen was suddenly puzzled, for there was clearly more to this than met the eye.

Tian Lang was healing alone, clearly unaware that he had been exposed.

After Ye Chen cultivated the Heavenly Demon Bright Eye, he could see through all fogs. Even if Tian Lang tried to conceal himself and flee, he could not hide from Ye Chen’s eyes.

”Ye Chen, you’re a smart person. This isn’t the first time I’ve invited you. Join me, and I won’t treat you poorly.”

Mo Xue Ming smiled without noticing anything amiss, completely unaware that the pawn he had planted in the Heavenly Dao Palace had already been discovered by Ye Chen.

”Sorry, I’m not interested.”

Without revealing anything, Ye Chen calmly shook his head, directly rejecting Mo Xue Ming’s invitation.

”Don’t be hasty in refusing; think about it. Without my protection, the Heavenly Dao Palace will definitely annihilate you.”

Mo Xue Ming stood with his hands behind his back, looking remorseful.

”No need to consider. I will sever my own karma, so you need not worry.”

Ye Chen’s gaze was resolute, showing no intention of joining.

Mo Xue Ming was silent, staring at Ye Chen without speaking.

Ye Chen also kept silent, with both standing still like sculptures.

The mountain breeze blew, creating a mournful sound.

After a long time, Mo Xue Ming slowly spoke, ”Since that’s the case, then leave.”

”Oh?”

Ye Chen was a bit surprised, ”You’re letting me go, without killing me? Right now, I am weakened, and if you wanted to kill me, I would be doomed.”

”The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Go ahead, I won’t kill you.”

Mo Xue Ming smiled, not out of mercy, but because he hadn’t yet freed himself from the limitations of the Netherworld Hall.

Moreover, Ye Chen’s bloodline power is extremely terrifying.

If he were to strike, Ye Chen’s bloodline could strike back, leaving him worse off.

Even if he truly managed to kill Ye Chen, he would suffer serious injuries himself.

Unless he completely freed himself from the restrictions of the Netherworld Hall, only then could he act freely, fearless of anything, and kill anyone.

”Then farewell.”

Ye Chen did not linger, directly turning to leave.

”Next time we meet, I fear we will have to confront each other with weapons.”

Mo Xue Ming still carried his hands behind his back. Letting Ye Chen leave, besides fearing Ye Chen’s bloodline counterattack, had another layer of intention.

As long as Ye Chen lived, the Heavenly Dao Palace would have to spend effort dealing with him, unable to fully focus on contending with Mo Xue Ming.

This gave Mo Xue Ming development time, and when the great catastrophe arrived, the chance to counterattack the Heavenly Dao Palace would be much greater.

”I wonder what’s happening with Xuanyuan Moxie; he took my Heaven Punishment Divine Sword Technique and practiced the Hongmeng Ancient Technique in reverse. I just hope he doesn’t deviate, causing his seven orifices to bleed, haha...”

Mo Xue Ming gazed into the distance, his face full of smiles.

...

At this time, outside the Heavenly Dao Palace, atop the Liuyao Mountain.

A group of Heavenly Dao Palace experts surrounded the entire Liuyao Mountain.

All the experts held weapons, emanating a murderous aura.

The atmosphere over the entire Liuyao Mountain was tense, with swords drawn.

The Daoist Children in the mountain looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The Tiandu Emperor had already fallen, and the Golden-eyed Barbaric Bull was dispatched elsewhere, leaving Liuyao Mountain without a protector and facing the siege of Heavenly Dao Palace experts, it was instantly a perilous situation.

In the temple atop the mountain, Tianji Daoist sat cross-legged with a nonchalant demeanor, his eyes half-closed, seemingly uninterested in worldly affairs.

Rustle.

A giant Stellar Sword descended on the temple at the mountain’s peak, transforming into a human form — it was Yan Tian Dragon God.

”Elder Tian, the Heavenly Dao Palace Master invites you to the palace.”

Yan Tian Dragon God smiled as he took firm strides towards Tianji Daoist.

At this time, Yan Tian Dragon God wore a saber on his waist, his aura overwhelming, with strands of dark Demon Dawn Rune constantly flashing.

His momentum was extremely powerful, actually having made a breakthrough!

Furthermore, faintly glowing upon his body was the light of an Ancient God Emperor!

”Why does Xuanyuan Moxie invite me to the palace?”

Tianji Daoist opened his eyes, glanced at Yan Tian Dragon God, suddenly his gaze flickered, and asked:

”Wait, your aura!”

He felt that at this time, Yan Tian Dragon God’s aura was incredibly powerful, even possessing the radiance of an Ancient God Emperor, which was simply inconceivable.

”Haha, Elder Tian, thanks to the master’s graciousness, I received tremendous fortune, Elder Tian, you are adept with prediction techniques, surely you can glimpse the karma behind this.” Yan Tian Dragon God laughed.

The divine emperor aura on his body belonged to one of the Seven Ancient Divine Emperors, Emperor Gouchen!

Tianji Daoist wore a serious expression, releasing the Azure Dragon Soul Stabilizing Mirror, casting techniques upon it, instantly reflecting scenes on the mirror’s surface.

That day, in order to seize the Emperor Dragon Ball, Xuanyuan Moxie sent Tian Lang out.

Having practiced the Heaven Punishment Divine Sword Technique offered by Tian Lang, Xuanyuan Moxie’s strength improved significantly; he knew well that the battle to kill Ye Chen had severely hurt the Heavenly Dao Palace, losing even the Dark Stele, he would have to find compensation elsewhere to make up for the loss.

So, Xuanyuan Moxie targeted the Divine Emperor’s Burial Ground.

Seizing the opportunity with his strengthened power, Xuanyuan Moxie recklessly calculated the location of the burial ground of one of the Seven Ancient Divine Emperors, Emperor Gouchen.

He sent people to excavate Emperor Gouchen’s burial ground, seized all treasures, and brought Emperor Gouchen’s corpse back to the Heavenly Dao Palace, merging it with the Yan Tian Dragon God using a special secret technique.

Having merged with the corpse of an Ancient God Emperor, Yan Tian Dragon God was completely transformed, rapidly improving strength, reaching the eighth-level Heavenly God Realm.

”Impossible, even if you refined Emperor Gouchen’s corpse, you couldn’t reach the division of realms of the eighth-level Heavenly God Realm! How did you achieve this?”

Tianji Daoist was startled. Though the spirit of an Ancient God Emperor’s corpse is vast, just a corpse alone couldn’t spur such terrifying progress.

Yan Tian Dragon God’s rise to become a master of the eighth-level Heavenly God Realm undoubtedly had deeper causality.

”Haha, the causality behind this, Elder Tian can slowly predict later, but for now, please get up and accompany me to the palace; the master has waited for you a long time.”

Yan Tian Dragon God held the saber hilt, smiled.

”What does Xuanyuan Moxie want? I’m fine living here on Liuyao Mountain; no need for him to offer anything alternatively.”

Tianji Daoist sat cross-legged and showed no intention to move.

”I am merely acting under orders, so I kindly ask Elder Tian not to make things difficult for me. Please come to the palace with me.”

Though Yan Tian Dragon God spoke respectfully, his gaze was sharp.

Evidently, if Tianji Daoist refused to move, he would resort to force.

Tianji Daoist’s expression darkened, realizing that there were many Heavenly Dao Palace experts nearby. If he refused, they would certainly become violent, and his Daoist Children and maidens would die.
