The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3676: Chapter 3666: The Declining Sect (First Update)

The two gate-keeping disciples in front of him were quite strong, carrying a hint of arrogance in their brows.

Yet, at this moment, upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, they restrained their anger because Ye Chen was merely a martial artist of the Heavenly God Realm Fifth Layer, while not even a peak-level expert of the Heavenly Repair Realm could shake the statue of the Six Paths Sect’s grandmaster.

The reason they had just questioned Ye Chen was due to their concern, but now that they had come to their senses, their gaze towards Ye Chen had turned into disdain.

”The anomaly of the grandmaster’s statue has ceased, but I fear a major upheaval is about to occur in our Six Paths Sect; I must report this to the sect.”

The long-haired gate-keeping disciple spoke.

”Alright.”

The short-haired gate-keeping disciple agreed, but then turned to Ye Chen with a harsh tone and asked, ”Since that’s the case, why are you here? A kid from the Heavenly God Realm Fifth Layer, daring to come to our Six Paths Sect?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen raised his eyebrow slightly but did not get angry. Though the Six Paths Sect was in decline now, it had been one of the top-tier forces in the past, so it was natural for these sect disciples to retain some pride.

”I have come on this journey to join the Six Paths Sect, and I hope you two will report it.”

Ye Chen said courteously.

Upon hearing this, the short-haired gate-keeping disciple revealed a peculiar expression, ”You? A kid from the Heavenly God Realm Fifth Layer, wanting to join our Six Paths Sect, are you daydreaming?”

Meanwhile, the long-haired gate-keeping disciple went to report the anomaly of the grandmaster’s statue to the high-ranking members of the Six Paths Sect, but he had barely taken a few steps before he saw almost all the high-ranking members exiting the sect.

”Sect Master, the grandmaster’s statue suddenly...”

The long-haired gate-keeping disciple quickly began to speak, but was interrupted halfway by the sect master’s outstretched hand.

”There’s no need to explain further; the elders and I have already sensed it.”

The sect master said excitedly, having sensed the anomaly of the grandmaster’s statue, considering it a significant event. If the grandmaster were still alive and returned, the Six Paths Sect could once again reach its peak and return to the Heavenly Human Domain!

However, as the sect master and the elders arrived at the mountain gate, they discovered that the grandmaster’s statue was no longer there. They tried every means to deduce what had happened, but it was like finding a needle in a haystack, with no clues available as all heavenly secrets were obscured.

”This...”

The Six Paths Sect Master looked solemnly at the sky, unsure if the anomaly of the grandmaster’s statue was a blessing or a curse.

Now that the sect-related matter concerning the grandmaster was resolved, the sect leader and the high-level members of the Six Paths Sect shifted their attention to Ye Chen standing there, showing looks of doubt.

Seeing this, the gate-keeping disciples quickly informed the senior members about Ye Chen’s intent to join the Six Paths Sect.

Meanwhile, many disciples of the Six Paths Sect also came out to watch the commotion. Upon hearing this news, a group of people looked at Ye Chen arrogantly and with disdain.

Ye Chen’s realm was merely the Heavenly God Realm Fifth Layer, an extremely low level of power, yet he wished to join the Six Paths Sect; it was simply a fool’s dream.

”Don’t think just because our Six Paths Sect is no longer what it was during the ancient times, anyone can enter. Go back to where you came from quickly.”

”Exactly, a waste from the Heavenly God Realm, wishing to join our Six Paths Sect!”

”Just get lost, the Six Paths Sect is not a place for trash like you to join!”

Hearing these words, Ye Chen’s brow furrowed slightly, although he did not care too much about the words of the many disciples.

But at this moment, the sect master and elders of the Six Paths Sect also looked indifferent, evidently not valuing the Heavenly God Realm Ye Chen.

”Young fellow, your realm is still too low, and I suppose your talent isn’t great either. It’s better to try elsewhere; the Six Paths Sect won’t accept you.”

An elder said aloud, looking at Ye Chen.

”Respected elders, my realm is indeed lower than the disciples within the Six Paths Sect, but I fear my talent is not inferior to any of the disciples here!”

Ye Chen said courteously to them, his words brimming with confidence, a dominating aura emanating from him, causing everyone’s expressions to change slightly.

Though Ye Chen was only in the Heavenly God Realm, to cultivate such an aura, one must have either experienced countless life-and-death battles or truly be a genius, blazing a trail of glory.

Otherwise, even some strong experts of the Heavenly Repair Realm wouldn’t have such a grand aura; such an aura comes from deep within, born out of inner confidence, which ordinary people can’t possess.

Seeing that Ye Chen indeed had something extraordinary, the senior members couldn’t help but hesitate. The sect master exchanged glances with a few elders, but the elders ultimately shook their heads.

”Forget it, youngster, your realm is still too low, you should leave.”

A tall elder said.

”Indeed, youngster, try your fortune elsewhere.”

An elder with jet-black eyes also spoke, with black light flickering around him, suppressing and collapsing the surrounding void, looking quite unusual.

Within the Six Paths Sect, there were a few elders who were overwhelmingly powerful, being the fundamental reason the Six Paths Sect remained recognized even in its decline after being removed from the Moon Soul Domain.

The jet-black-eyed elder in front of him was evidently one of these unmatched elders. As soon as he spoke, others also began to urge Ye Chen to leave.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen couldn’t help but shake his head slightly. Since the Six Paths Sect was unwilling, then he would leave.

Just as Ye Chen was about to turn and leave, a long-haired elder beside the jet-black-eyed elder, wearing a Daoist robe and appearing sage-like and extraordinary, suddenly spoke to stop Ye Chen.

”Young fellow, I am willing to give you a chance, but you must first listen to what I have to say.”

”Oh?”

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, surprised that this elder was willing to give him a chance, also curious about what he had to say.

”Do you know, about the history of our Six Paths Sect?”

Ignoring the surprised looks of others, the Dao-robed elder looked at Ye Chen and asked.

”I know some things.”

Ye Chen nodded slowly, knowing these matters from Wei Ying. They weren’t really secrets; after all, the Six Paths Sect had once been a top-tier force, receiving an enormous amount of attention. Any upheavals would naturally become well-known, and the decline of the sect wasn’t something that could be hidden.

”Since you know, then I’ll tell you why we are unwilling to accept you as a disciple.”

The Dao-robed elder’s eyes flickered with a touch of depth, then he spoke, ”After the grandmaster’s whereabouts became unknown, the Six Paths Sect began to decline. Even so, we accepted many disciples, including many extraordinarily talented geniuses.”

”Among those people, some have remained loyal to the sect, but many have already betrayed us. Not only did they not show gratitude to the sect, standing by it in times of decline, but they also worsened the situation, dealing the sect a harsh blow.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slowly. The human heart is deep, and with so many people in a sect, nobody can guarantee that all disciples will be pure-hearted and grateful; these occurrences are inevitable.
