The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2274: Trap

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

”Ladies and gentlemen, this is my first time hosting an auction. I will not waste any more time. The first item is a female human sacrifice. As long as you use her for dual cultivation, your strength might advance a minor realm.”

The elder of the Demon Joy Sect used seductive techniques with every movement she made.

”The starting price is 100,000 magic crystals. Each increment must not be lower than 10,000 magic crystals.”

As soon as the elder of the Demon Joy Sect finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly became lively.

The Demon Joy Sect did not have a long history within the demon race, but it held a unique significance.

Jun Mochen’s younger sister, Jun Moqiu, was the leader of the Demon Joy Sect.

Soon, the price rose to one million magic crystals. A sacrifice that could enhance cultivation was also beneficial for both Star Aperture and Sealed Gate realm experts.

Naturally, they did not hold back. At their current realm, it would take a considerable amount of time for them to break through.

”Two million magic crystals!”

At this moment, Ye Chen was bidding. Although he only had a hundred thousand magical crystals in his possession, he still had numerous treasures and felt no concern at all.

The most important factor was that he had never intended to spend money.

They were here to cause trouble. How could they give money to the Demon Joy Sect?

All of the participants in the auction were astonished when they witnessed the price rise to two million magic crystals. After all, most valued it at 1.5 1.5 million magic crystals at best.

If he purchased it for two million, he would already be incurring a loss.

”2.5 million!”

In a private room, an expert declared. He was already an eighth-level Star Aperture realm expert and he would reach the ninth if he broke through.

That would ease his path toward breaking through to the Sealed Gate realm.

”Five million magic crystals!”

Ye Chen spoke again. He raised the bid to five million magic crystals.

The faces of the participants grew slightly gloomy.

If this trend continued, they might not be able to acquire a single item.

”I suspect that he is bidding maliciously. I hope that the auction house can investigate!”

The elder of the Demon Joy Sect nodded slightly. She also suspected that this was a malicious bid.

Even if he had a powerful demon race force behind him, he would not waste magic crystals in such a manner!

She summoned a peak-level Star Aperture realm expert and instructed him to enter Ye Chen’s private room and investigate.

Very soon, the peak-level Star Aperture realm expert] emerged and nodded lightly.

”The bid is valid!”

The auction house had already confirmed that Ye Chen was fully capable of producing the magic crystals.

The auction resumed. Each time, Ye Chen continued to bid at a high price.

Four hours passed. Other than Ye Chen, no cultivator had obtained any treasures.

Ye Chen had spent two hundred million magic crystals in those four hours. The auction house staff did not stop him, indicating that he could indeed produce two hundred million.

The auction gradually approached its conclusion. Every demon race expert present was gritting their teeth in frustration.

They had come to the auction for nothing. They had not acquired a single treasure.

Ye Chen approached the back of the auction house, where transactions were handled. The elder of the Demon Joy Sect looked at him with a smile.

All manner of treasures were displayed on the table, and Ye Chen promptly took them. Observing this scene, the elder of the Demon Joy Sect refrained from commenting.

They had already confirmed that Ye Chen had ample funds.

He was merely a Star Aperture realm expert. They were not concerned that Ye Chen would attempt to flee.

Once Ye Chen collected the treasures, he glanced at Mu Yan, and the two of them turned to depart.

”Friend, the total is 1.8 billion magic crystals. Please settle your account.”

The elder of the Demon Joy Sect stood before them, her expression darkening.

”Pay up? Why should I pay up?”

The elder of the Demon Joy Sect’s expression turned completely grim.

Were these two individuals truly here to create chaos?

”Do you understand what kind of existence stands behind our sect? Can you endure the wrath of the Demon Venerable?!”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. ”You speak of Jun Mochen. I can certainly endure his wrath!”

Moments later, Ye Chen drew the Rotten Beast Sword. With a faint smile playing on his lips, he attacked.

The elder of the Demon Joy Sect was correct. He was indeed here to cause trouble.

The sword descended suddenly, producing a dull sound.

Boom!

The cultivators who had already departed paused in their tracks upon hearing the noise.

What was happening?

Was someone making a move within the auction house?

Bang!

A figure was sent flying.

The martial artists looked on and realized it was the elder hosting the auction.

Ye Chen and Mu Yan approached step by step. Mu Yan wasted no time, as endless demonic energy coalesced on her finger and tore apart the body of the fallen elder.

A spray of blood burst forth, scattering on the ground.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Demon Joy Sect was promptly informed of the incident occurring at the auction house.

Powerful experts rushed to the scene.

Following the incident at the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Demon Joy Sect had been prepared for battle at any moment.

A woman hovered in the air. She was another elder of the Demon Joy Sect.

Behind her stood three other elders, each exuding equally powerful auras.

”Ye Chen, it is truly you!”

”After destroying the Heavenly Demon Sect, do you intend to attack the Demon Joy Sect as well? You are courting death!”

”This time, you will not escape even if you possess wings!”

The elder of the Demon Joy Sect proclaimed. She was already prepared for this confrontation. She crushed a token in her hand.

A vast formation activated. To prevent Ye Chen’s escape, they had secretly set up this formation.

The grand array was not designed to kill, but to trap. It would temporarily hinder Ye Chen from leaving.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Moments later, another sound sliced through the air. Mo Ying and Gui Ping had arrived.

Behind them stood the experts of the Demon Venerable’s Palace.

The instant Mo Ying appeared, Ye Chen felt a frown form on his brow.

So strong!

The expert who had guarded outside Devil Bone Mountain back then must have been this individual!

Upon seeing Mo Ying arrive, he understood that escaping would not be an easy task.

A Great Void realm expert possessed absolute speed and was capable of apprehending him and Mu Yan.

”Deactivate the trap formation! Ye Chen cannot escape with me around,” Mo Ying spoke in a cold voice, exuding absolute confidence.

”Yes, my lord!”

The elder of the Demon Joy Sect replied respectfully. With a wave of her hand, the trap formation was dismantled.

Ye Chen and Mu Yan chose not to flee. They understood that they could not outrun Mo Ying. They could only prepare to fight!

”Find a place to hide.”

Mu Yan nodded slightly. Whether they could escape this time depended on Ye Chen’s ability to break through the encirclement. However, the hope seemed somewhat slim.

With the Heavenly Divine Demon Spear and the Rotten Beast Sword in his grasp, Ye Chen ascended, standing in the sky.

Mo Ying advanced. He had resolved himself to personally act to eliminate any future threats.
