The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3877: Chapter 3877: An Unexpected Gain (Second Update)

Yu Hongying furrowed her brow and said, ”What do you mean by that?”

Wei Ji said with a slightly amused tone, ”Yu Hongying, what kind of existence is the Supreme? Every word and action of his carries a deeper meaning. The act of sending gifts, besides showing our sincerity, I believe is also a test from the Supreme for us!”

”A test?” Yu Hongying became increasingly puzzled...

Wei Ji said, ”Don’t you remember the Supreme said before he left that he had important things to do? And when it was time for the agent’s assessment, he also mentioned he was in a hurry?”

Yu Hongying felt vaguely uneasy, ”Why are you saying all this?”

Wei Ji laughed, ”Yu Hongying, don’t you understand the meaning behind the Supreme’s words? These words are hints for us! Surely, the Supreme had long anticipated we would go to present gifts after the assessment, and even the advancement of Elder Tiandan in the Netherworld Dark Mansion was deliberately arranged by him!

Have you forgotten? Both of us have a space-type nine-grade Emperor Artifact in our hands; do you think all of this is just a coincidence? Combining the Supreme’s words, what the Supreme likely needed was a space artifact!”

Hahaha, Yu Hongying, you can’t even pick up on this much, and yet you want to follow beside the Supreme? I advise you not to overestimate your abilities to avoid becoming just a pawn in the Supreme’s hands!”

Wei Ji showed a hint of admiration. From the very first meeting with the Supreme, he had already found himself in the Supreme’s chess game. If fortunate enough to stay close to the Supreme, he believed he would not only progress in martial arts but also gain significant insights in strategy by observing him closely.

He was willing to become one of the pawns in this chessboard where the Supreme could effortlessly stir up the winds and clouds and manipulate powerful beings with ease!

However, even amongst pawns, there are differences, and he strove to become the most useful pawn in the Supreme’s hand!

Wei Ji glanced towards the room next door, a self-satisfied smile on his face, thinking, ”This woman, Yu Hongying, might be on par with me in martial arts, but so what? Even if she’s fortunate to remain by the Supreme’s side, how could she possibly earn the Supreme’s favor?”

Yu Hongying’s beautiful eyes trembled, and her expression quickly turned ugly; she feared she might have already fallen behind Wei Ji in the Supreme’s first test!

Yet, she quickly gathered herself, silently vowing, ”This is only the Supreme’s first test. In the future, I’ll definitely work harder to win the Supreme’s favor!”

...

Ye Chen looked at the Treasure Bead shimmering with green light in his hand and a Treasure Robe suffused with seven-colored spiritual energy, and couldn’t help but show a look of surprise, murmuring to himself, ”Are these the congratulatory gifts they sent?”

Originally, he thought Wei Ji and Yu Hongying were just making a gesture, and the so-called congratulatory gifts wouldn’t be anything too valuable...

Yet, within these two storage bags were actually two nine-grade Emperor Artifacts!

The rarity of Emperor Artifacts increases with each level! The seventh and eighth grades are priceless, let alone the ninth grade!

Even for someone like Elder Tiandan, such treasures are not easy to come by!

Even these two governors don’t have many of them in their possession...

But they just gave them to him like this?

For a moment, Ye Chen was puzzled about what these two were up to...

He shook his head with a wry smile, deciding not to think too much about it, and instead focused his attention on the two treasures in his hand.

The Treasure Robe, named the Jade Cicada Magical Robe, has excellent defense, invisibility, speed enhancement, and other powers.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen put on the robe.

Then, he injected his divine soul into the green Round Pearl.

The next moment, a hint of delight appeared on Ye Chen’s face; this green Round Pearl, named the Ding Cang Pearl, is surprisingly a space-type Divine Artifact!

Using this Ding Cang Pearl, one can distort spatial laws. Though difficult to control in battle, it is very suitable for travel. If driven by the Ding Cang Pearl, Xiao Rou’s speed can be increased significantly!

Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh; who says the people of the Dark Domain are all sinister and vicious?

This is all prejudice!

People like Yu Hongying and Wei Ji are like a refreshing stream in the martial arts world!

While Ye Chen was pondering, a token at his waist began to flicker slightly!

Ye Chen frowned. This is the token given to him by the sect master of the Six Paths Sect; once it flickers, it means there’s a matter concerning the Six Paths Sect!

The Six Paths Sect, established by Xiao Yi’s disciple in his previous life, was founded with the purpose of avenging with Ji Yue at any cost.

The Six Paths Sect has fallen from its former status as a top-tier force.

No matter what, Ye Chen holds on to a belief in his heart, or perhaps the regrets of his past life, which is to make the Six Paths Sect the number one sect in the Outer Realm!

And now, coming out from the Dark Domain, he should barely have the power to make the Six Paths Sect the first sect in the Moon Soul Domain!

Fortunately, there are still a few days left until his March agreement with Su Yunyan!

Instantly channeling his spiritual energy into the Ding Cang Pearl, a hazy green light enveloped Ye Chen and the Purple Phoenix beneath him, making their figures suddenly appear illusory.

...

Six Paths Sect.

Xiao Rou snorted coldly, delivering Ye Chen before leaving.

In Xiao Rou’s view, this declining sect wasn’t worth her setting foot in even half a step.

Ye Chen looked at the familiar mountain gate and couldn’t help but recall scenes from his past life.

That loyal disciple, is he still alive?

Perhaps only by confronting Ji Yue face-to-face could the truth be revealed.

”Senior brother, you’re back.”

At this moment, the gate-guarding disciple saw Ye Chen and immediately shouted.

These days, Ye Chen’s reputation has spread within the sect. Whether it was what he did at the Zhenyuan Palace, which brought goodwill from the Zhenyuan Palace to the Six Paths Sect, or the uproar he caused at the Nine Cold Sect, all of these made Ye Chen’s reputation soar.

Because of this, the disciples within the sect also regarded Ye Chen with more respect.

Seeing the respectful gaze of the gate-guarding disciple, Ye Chen remained calm, as such a situation was expected, and he wasn’t surprised.

However, there was one thing that puzzled Ye Chen slightly, and that was, apart from the respect in their eyes, these disciples seemed to show an odd expression when they saw him, as if there was something they were hiding from him.

Noticing this peculiarity, Ye Chen couldn’t help but frown slightly; could something significant have happened during his time away from the Six Paths Sect?

And as Ye Chen entered the Six Paths Sect, every disciple he encountered had a strange look on their face, which made him even more curious about what had transpired.

Just as he was about to return to his Netherworld Peak and inquire from Liu Yunmiao, Ye Chen suddenly saw Yang Qianyu flying out from the Six Paths Temple, excitement on his face as he approached him.

”Senior brother, you’ve finally returned.”

Yang Qianyu looked at Ye Chen, a hint of joy in his eyes.

”Hmm?”

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen’s eyebrows slightly raised, seeing the other seemingly happy to see him; what was this about, could he be seeking help from him?

While Ye Chen was puzzled, Yang Qianyu continued, ”Alright then, since senior brother is back, come with me to the hall; the sect master and others are waiting for you.”
