The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3699: Chapter 3689: Absurd!

”What? You dare speak disrespectfully about my Six Paths Sect, and you think a slap is unjustified? Talk more, and I’ll crush you immediately!”

Ye Chen’s gaze was cold and dismissive of the aura emanating from his triangular-eyed opponent, speaking without mercy.

”Hmph!”

At this moment, Shi Baomiao snorted in anger. As an elder, and with the Zhenyuan Palace disciples indeed at fault first, he couldn’t act against Ye Chen but looked towards Wu Duan Cang.

”Sect Master Wu, has the Six Paths Sect fallen so low? Can even a sixth-level Supreme Emperor realm servant-disciple come and go in the Six Paths Temple as they please? And even dare to be so presumptuous in the temple, hitting people!”

”Sect Master Wu, if today’s matter isn’t explained to my Zhenyuan Palace, we will not let this go!”

As Shi Baomiao said this, the expressions of the Six Paths Sect elders changed. Shi Baomiao was aggressive, but Zhenyuan Palace’s backing left them helpless.

Some even began to worry that Ye Chen’s reckless actions might provoke Zhenyuan Palace into fury against the Six Paths Sect, which would become a huge problem.

”Ye Chen, you’re too presumptuous. Is this a place where you can casually appear? You even dared to strike a Zhenyuan Palace disciple, kneel and confess immediately!”

”Yes, Ye Chen, don’t ruin the many years of friendship between our two sects with your antics, confess quickly!”

At this moment, many elders couldn’t help but scold, having no choice but to consider the sect’s future, fearing Ye Chen’s actions might bring trouble, and thus wanting to humble Ye Chen.

At this moment, Ye Chen, hearing the elders’ words, remained indifferent. Instead, he looked towards Shi Baomiao.

”Elder Shi, I am not a servant-disciple, but the Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect; entering the temple should be no problem, right?”

Upon these words, Shi Baomiao and the Zhenyuan Palace disciples all showed strange expressions, looking at Ye Chen with mysterious eyes.

”Chief Disciple? A sixth-level Supreme Emperor realm Chief Disciple?”

Suddenly, Shi Baomiao and the Zhenyuan Palace disciples burst into loud laughter.

”When did the Six Paths Sect fall to such a state that an ant at the sixth-level Supreme Emperor realm becomes the Chief Disciple? Sect Master Wu, is this kid joking!”

Shi Baomiao laughed heartily, unable to contain his amusement, as he addressed Wu Duan Cang.

”What he says is true; Ye Chen is indeed the Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect.”

At this moment, Wu Duan Cang spoke calmly.

But the elders of the Six Paths Sect felt their faces flush with humiliation. Ye Chen’s realm was indeed low, and having a sixth-level Supreme Emperor realm Chief Disciple was bound to make the Six Paths Sect a laughingstock throughout the Outer Realm. At this moment, they all felt immensely embarrassed.

Just then, before they could speak, Ye Chen continued, ”And my act of disciplining this junior brother was a responsibility as a senior brother; his disrespectful words deserved punishment.”

”Had it been anywhere else, aside from our alliance with Zhenyuan Palace, this junior brother might have been killed immediately. My disciplinary action was actually to save him, to teach him to watch his words. Elder Shi, do you think I was wrong?”

As the Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect, and given the long-standing alliance between the Six Paths Sect and Zhenyuan Palace, Ye Chen indeed had the seniority over the Zhenyuan Palace disciple, who could be regarded as a junior brother.

While Ye Chen’s address was appropriate, the Zhenyuan Palace disciples were infuriated. Ye Chen, merely a sixth-level Supreme Emperor realm, was so pathetically weak, yet being called ’junior brother’ by such a weakling was a deep insult to them.

At this moment, Shi Baomiao heard Ye Chen’s words and revealed a peculiar smile.

”Heh, the Chief Disciple of your esteemed sect understands reason well. I was indeed confused about this matter.”

”May I know your name?”

Shi Baomiao asked Ye Chen in a seemingly friendly manner.

”The younger generation’s name is Ye Chen,”

Ye Chen responded politely.

Upon hearing this, Shi Baomiao smiled, ”Ye Chen? Not bad, Six Paths Sect indeed has an eye for talent to select a Chief Disciple like Ye Chen. I truly admire it!”

As these words came out, the Six Paths Sect elders wished they could sink into a crevice in the ground. Some glared at Ye Chen, wanting to drive him away to avoid further embarrassment here.

However, before the elders could say anything, Shi Baomiao once again opened his mouth.

Shi Baomiao looked at Ye Chen, his face beaming with an extremely sincere and enthusiastic smile, ”I came to the Six Paths Sect this time to invite disciples of your sect to visit Zhenyuan Palace. Since Nephew Ye, as the Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect, why not come with us to visit Zhenyuan Palace?”

”Ye Chen, you also mentioned that Six Paths Sect and Zhenyuan Palace are long-standing allies. It’s been years since the two sects have interacted; this time, you must lead the delegation to visit.”

Hearing this, the faces of the Six Paths Sect members turned strange. Everyone understood Zhenyuan Palace’s intention. Ye Chen wasn’t foolish either, having just fought with a Zhenyuan Palace disciple. How could he agree to visit Zhenyuan Palace?

If he really went, he would be walking into a trap, bringing himself suffering.

At this moment, hearing Shi Baomiao’s words, Ye Chen’s eyes lit up with a delighted expression, ”Since Elder Shi is so gracious in inviting me, how could I refuse? I will represent Six Paths Sect to visit Zhenyuan Palace.”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Six Paths Temple was stunned, and even the malicious Shi Baomiao was momentarily taken aback. He quickly recovered, looking at Ye Chen with a wide smile, yet with endless chill in his eyes.

”Dare to hit my Zhenyuan Palace’s disciple and dare come to my Zhenyuan Palace as a guest. Truly Six Paths Sect has fallen to the extreme, even selecting such a foolish Chief Disciple. Once you arrive at my Zhenyuan Palace, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

Shi Baomiao roared furiously in his heart.

Meanwhile, the Six Paths Sect elders came to their senses, their expressions drastically changing, with some even standing up abruptly.

”Ye Chen, what nonsense are you spouting? This is a matter between the two sects. Even as Chief Disciple, it’s not your decision to make. The sect master has already refused; how dare you disrupt here!”

”Get out, negotiations between the two sects are underway, why are you here in the hall? Leave quickly!”

At this moment, all the elders scolded collectively. Ye Chen going to Zhenyuan Palace would mean not only enduring humiliation and dangers but also utterly disgracing the Six Paths Sect.

A sixth-level Supreme Emperor realm Chief Disciple staying in the Six Paths Sect was bearable, but if he showed himself outside the sect, it would utterly make the Six Paths Sect a laughingstock, an outcome the entire sect could not accept.

”Sect Master, Ye Chen shows no respect for elders and acts recklessly. I suggest stripping him of his Chief Disciple position and expelling him from the hall, confining him in Black Cloud Cave!”

At this moment, Zhou Jin stood up and suggested, his intentions malign, hoping to take the chance to erase Ye Chen.

Hearing Zhou Jin’s words, the elders showed shock.

Depriving him of the Chief Disciple position was acceptable; they didn’t want Ye Chen to hold it anyway, but Black Cloud Cave was another matter.

Black Cloud Cave is a place left by the Grandmaster in the past, specifically used to imprison traitors and heinous criminals of the sect—an incredibly terrifying place.

Anyone suppressed in Black Cloud Cave would endure endless torment, never able to escape, akin to the Abyss Hell. The punishment Zhou Jin suggested was excessively severe.
