The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1976: Trustworthy Ally

Chapter 1976: Trustworthy Ally Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Xu’s words caused the expressions of the cultivators from the various factions to gradually change.

If Bai Xu was an expert from a faction, he definitely wouldn’t be so unscrupulous. However, this was not the case.

If Bai Xu were to take action as an unaffiliated cultivator, he would be very troublesome, and there was no faction for them to take revenge on.

“Haha! I hope Senior can protect Ye Chen for the rest of his life!”

The expert from the Holy Dragon Family snorted coldly and turned to leave.

With a peak-level Star Aperture realm expert around, it was basically impossible for them to kill Ye Chen. Thus, they could only give up and make plans for the future.

Seeing that the Holy Dragon Family expert had already left, there was no need for the various factions to stay.

After waiting for the various factions to leave, Ye Chen looked at Bai Xu gratefully and said, “Thank you, Senior!”

Were it not for Bai Xu, even if he could kill some of the opposing experts, it would probably not be easy for him to survive.

“Aren’t we allies?”

Bai Xu smiled and didn’t say much else.

If Ye Chen really became the strongest fighter in the Lingwu Continent in the future, he would also benefit from this. After all, despite his vaunted strength, he was not invincible.

Bai Xu was optimistic about Ye Chen’s future. As for the threats from the various factions, he did not care at all. In any case, he had not made himself a mortal enemy of these factions, so they would not antagonize him and make an extra enemy for themselves for no reason.

With his strength, if he was not killed and escaped by luck, it would be a disaster for the various factions.

Ye Chen nodded slightly. He took out a pill from the Samsara Graveyard and put it into his mouth.

Bai Xu was also healing his injuries beside Ye Chen. In the Universe Palace, no one knew what would happen next.

Only when one was strong enough could one guarantee their safety.

As for Huang Bai, he did not have anything to do and just waited quietly.

Four hours later, Ye Chen’s injuries were almost healed. He stood up from the ground.

On the other hand, the injuries that Bai Xu suffered would not fully recover in a short time.

“Huang Bai, are you interested in joining the Slaughter Sect?” Ye Chen asked.

Huang Bai’s strength wasn’t bad, and he had a backbone. When he faced Long Shan, he would rather die than submit.

Ye Chen admired this. Moreover, since Huang Bai had stood up for him, he was a man who valued relationships and loyalty.

When he heard Ye Chen’s words, Huang Bai felt that luck had finally come his way, and he felt excited.

The Slaughter Sect was the holy land for unaffiliated cultivators!

“I… I’m willing.”

Huang Bai was so excited that he could not even speak properly.

However, before he could finish speaking, a strange movement came from the square formation!

…

In a corner of the square formation, a black-robed man stared at the river and muttered, “What’s supposed to come is about to come!”

An hour later, a black vortex suddenly appeared in the river.

The vortex gradually spread, and a suppressive aura fell upon the hearts of every cultivator.

Ye Chen looked at the river. A black stone coffin appeared in the black vortex.

The moment the stone coffin appeared, an ancient aura spread out in all directions.

When he saw the appearance of the stone coffin, Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed.

There was not much difference between this stone coffin and the stone coffin in the ruined palace. The only difference was that the width and length of this stone coffin was larger.

The stone coffin in the ruined palace was like a miniature version of this one.

After the first stone coffin appeared, 48 stone coffins appeared in the black vortex one after another.

Ye Chen’s gaze gradually turned serious. What was in the stone coffin? Why were there 49 of them?

The 49 stone coffins were placed in the same position as the formation in the ruined palace, except for the golden stone coffin.

The cultivators in the square formation stood quietly, observing the stone coffins.

“The world’s providence is gathered in one body, crowned as king!”

The cold and mechanical voice rang out again, and strands of golden threads emerged from the stone coffin.

When these golden threads floated in the river, the warriors on the square formation all revealed fiery expressions.

They could sense the aura of these golden threads, which contained the world’s providence.

At this moment, Ye Chen knew that what was coming next was a grand battle, as no cultivator would pass up the chance at obtaining a strand of the world’s providence.

Although there were many golden threads floating in the river, compared to the number of cultivators there were on the square formation, it was obvious that it was not enough.

Thus, it would soon become a competition.

Ye Chen could not understand what the existence behind the Universe Palace was trying to do.

Could it be that other than the world’s providence, there were no other treasures in the Universal Palace?

While he was thinking, there were already some cultivators who rushed over to grab the golden threads. The moment the 49 stone coffins appeared, everyone could fly.

Ye Chen’s brows furrowed tightly. Then, he charged toward the river.

Since he could not figure it out, the only thing he could do was take things one step at a time. Letting the world’s providence slip past his grasp was not an option.

Huang Bai stood on top of the square formation. He was a little hesitant as he felt that his strength was insufficient.

However, when he saw Ye Chen’s figure charging toward the river, he gritted his teeth and rushed in. He had to give it a try no matter what.

Ye Chen held the Blood Demon Sword in his hand and found a thicker and longer strand of world’s providence in the river. There were two seventh-level Star Aperture realm experts fighting for it beside him.

The two experts looked at each other and their expressions turned ugly.

They were well aware of Ye Chen’s strength. Even if the two of them attacked together, they would not be a match for him. However, they also did not want to give up on this strand of world’s providence.

“Do you want to leave by yourselves, or should I force you to leave?”

Ye Chen did not continue, but the meaning behind his words was self-evident.

“You have already offended the various large factions. Why do you have to make things difficult for us? When the time comes, if we join them…”

Before that expert could finish speaking, a sword beam suddenly appeared and exploded with dazzling light.

The expert’s body fell into the river!

Before he could even react, Ye Chen had already attacked!

The other Star Aperture realm expert said goodbye and left without looking back.

Ye Chen then went over to the strand of world’s providence and held it in his hand.

At this moment, the world’s providence surged into his body. As for the words of that Star Aperture realm expert, he did not take them to heart at all.
