The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 4002: Chapter 4002: The Maiden Upon the Buddha (Seventh Update)

”Hahaha! You arrogant brat, you dare to come back and throw your life away? This time I will surely catch you, make you wish for death over life, and subject you to endless torment!”

Hou Tian laughed angrily, glaring at Ye Chen with a ferocious look, as if transformed into a wild beast. The murderous aura around him surged into the sky, so intense that even the spiritual pressure monsters in Moon Evil Lake dared not approach, instinctively avoiding Hou Tian.

”Hmph, what do you think you are? I’m here to find someone. If I wanted to leave, do you really think you could stop me?”

Hearing Hou Tian’s voice behind him, Ye Chen sneered coldly and shouted back.

”You court death!”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Hou Tian was enraged, his aura becoming even more violent, his speed once again surged, quickly closing in on Ye Chen.

Noticing this, Ye Chen squinted slightly, about to speed up, but suddenly discovered that because of Hou Tian’s aura impact, strange vast ripples emerged within Moon Evil Lake.

The next moment, Ye Chen saw a black dot appear a short distance ahead, it grew larger and larger, eventually forming a vast black vortex, spinning wildly, so powerful that the dark lake water around it was drawn into a colossal whirlpool.

”Boom!”

The roaring sound of the black vortex echoed through the water, a glint of excitement flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes, while Hou Tian and the group of elders behind him stopped in their tracks.

”Damn it, why is this black vortex appearing now? Stop them for me!”

At this moment, Hou Tian roared angrily at Ye Chen, his internal aura shaking, sending out detonating booms, and he himself shot out like a bolt of Thunder Light, violently pursuing Ye Chen’s location.

Simultaneously, the elders of Bright Moon Valley unleashed all their might, working together, casting vast spiritual energy that transformed into chains filling the sky, aiming to pierce and bind Ye Chen and his companion, making them unable to move.

Feeling the violent killing intent from behind, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smirk, because the black vortex was already right in front of them, these people couldn’t stop them at all.

”Xiao Bai, stay close.”

At this moment, Ye Chen looked at Xiao Bai instructing, and upon hearing, Xiao Bai quickly nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Ye Chen led Xiao Bai straight into the black vortex, instantly being swallowed, disappearing from sight.

Watching Ye Chen and his companion rush without hesitation into the black vortex, Hou Tian and the group of elders arrived furiously, grinding their teeth in anger.

They dared not enter the black vortex, for they had no idea what dangers it contained, nor could they understand why Ye Chen and others charged into the black vortex without fear, was it a race to their death or rebirth?

”Bring me the formation pattern, I will set the Bright Moon Sky Breaking Array here. If they don’t die in the vortex, they will certainly die by my hand!”

Hou Tian’s eyes were chilling with murderous intent, he shouted furiously.

Upon hearing this, the elders’ expressions became serious; the Bright Moon Sky Breaking Array’s power was formidable, capable of suppressing beings in the Qiankun Realm.

It seemed Hou Tian had been provoked by Ye Chen and others to the point of losing his mind, hating them to the core, otherwise, he wouldn’t resort to using the Bright Moon Sky Breaking Array.

Hou Tian set up the array formation, intending to guard at Moon Evil Lake personally. If Ye Chen and others were to die in the vortex, so be it, if not, they would be eternally suppressed at the bottom of Moon Evil Lake!

...

Inside the black vortex, after Ye Chen and Xiao Bai rushed in, they felt the sky and earth spinning.

Within the black vortex, Ye Chen also sensed a vast demonic qi, along with a grand aura of the bright moon, sweeping them deeper into the vortex.

The further in they went, the more frightening the pressure in the vortex became, as if the turning Heavenly Wheel would crush Ye Chen and Xiao Bai alive.

Facing this pressure, Ye Chen gave his all to resist, Xiao Bai also revealed his true form to help fend off the pressure, finally managing to hold it off, both of them seeing a flash of light, tumbling out of the black vortex.

”Bang!”

Falling from the black vortex, the dizzy Ye Chen and Xiao Bai lost control of their forms, crashing directly onto the ground.

Underfoot was a hard floor, despite bearing the impact from Ye Chen and Xiao Bai, the dark green floor remained intact, reflecting a bright luster.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, then looked around, discovering this was actually a grand ancient city.

The ancient city was majestic, but the buildings within were dilapidated, having turned to ruin.

This was the bottom of Moon Evil Lake, thus a ruin beneath the lake. Ye Chen didn’t know the ancient city’s secrets, but the place was filled with demonic qi and the aura of the bright moon, making him alerted and cautious.

”Huh?”

Just then, an anomaly came from the Samsara Graveyard, Ye Chen heard the voice of the Yue Hun Witch, and couldn’t help but send a strand of divine soul into the space of the Samsara Graveyard.

”Senior Yue Hun.”

Ye Chen looked at the Yue Hun Witch, but saw her gaze was profound, so he quickly closed his mouth, not interrupting further.

In the Samsara Graveyard, vast demonic qi swept and howled, the aura of the Yue Hun Witch surged continuously, after a moment she came back to her senses, her eyes flashing a bit cold.

”This place is actually a battlefield I experienced during ancient times.”

The Yue Hun Witch gazed at Ye Chen and spoke slowly, ”I can sense the presence of a Moon Deer appearing here once before.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately understood what Yue Hun Witch meant. He had promised Yue Hun Witch before that he would help her find the Moon Deer.

Although Ye Chen’s heart was solely focused on finding Xia Ruoxue at this moment, he earnestly replied to Yue Hun Witch, ”Rest assured, Senior, I will certainly keep an eye out for the Moon Deer.”

”That’s great.”

Yue Hun Witch nodded satisfactorily upon hearing this, and then she concealed her figure.

Ye Chen originally wanted to inquire about the situation of this ruined ancient city from Yue Hun Witch, but considering this was a battlefield from the ancient times that Yue Hun Witch had experienced, so much time had passed that things might have changed significantly, and Yue Hun Witch probably didn’t know much. Plus, Yue Hun Witch had already left, so Ye Chen dropped the idea.

At this time, Xiao Bai looked at the ruined ancient city, with red light shining in his eyes. This was the ability of the Taiyin Jade Rabbit’s true form, likely possessing some investigative effect.

However, unfortunately, Xiao Bai did not discover anything. At this moment, he looked a bit disappointed as he withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Chen.

”Brother Ye Chen, I can’t see through this place, and I can’t sense Sister Xia either.”

”Can’t sense her?”

Ye Chen frowned slightly. This ruined ancient city shouldn’t be blocking sensing, so either Xia Ruoxue isn’t here, or she has entered a place that shields divine soul perception.

After all, whether Ye Chen or Xiao Bai, both have a close relationship with Xia Ruoxue. Now that they are here, if neither can sense the other, there must be a problem.

Subsequently, Ye Chen led Xiao Bai through the ruined ancient city. Here, demonic qi and the aura of the Bright Moon intertwined turbulently, and above the city, a shadowy figure of a bright moon could be faintly seen. It looked very mysterious but also gave a feeling of extreme danger, causing unease in their hearts.

”There is clearly nothing here...”

Ye Chen stared at the surroundings. He and Xiao Bai had explored most of the area in this ruined ancient city, finding nothing, nor encountering any dangerous entities, yet why is there this feeling of unease?

Just as Ye Chen was puzzled as to why this ruined ancient city gave him an uneasy feeling, suddenly, his and Xiao Bai’s gaze froze.

In front of them, a grand, majestic ancient temple stood proudly, emanating endless Golden Light, dispelling the surrounding turbulent demonic qi.

This ancient temple looked age-old, and it seemed to be suppressing something, extraordinarily sacred, resonating with the Power of Bright Moon spilling between heaven and earth.

”I can sense every place in this ruined ancient city but felt nothing here before; Xia Ruoxue might very well be inside.”

Ye Chen’s gaze slightly narrowed as he turned to Xiao Bai and spoke.

”Hmm, that’s what I think too.”

Hearing this, Xiao Bai excitedly waved his fist and spoke enthusiastically.

”Let’s go in and take a look then.”

Ye Chen nodded slowly and didn’t forget to remind him, ”Stay close to me, be careful, there might be danger.”

”Okay.”

Xiao Bai agreed obediently.

Then, Ye Chen led Xiao Bai into the ancient temple. Upon entering the ancient temple, both felt a sense of peace and tranquility. It possessed a special power, evidently a Buddhist Sacred Land.

In the subsequent exploration, Ye Chen completely explored the ancient temple without encountering any danger. On the contrary, everywhere was illuminated by Buddha Light, presenting a brilliantly sacred appearance.

Finally, Ye Chen and Xiao Bai reached the end of the ancient temple, where there was a grand hall. Inside the hall were lofty, resplendent Buddhas sitting on Buddha Lotuses.

And in the center of the hall, under the gaze of these Buddhas, sat a delicate figure on a meditation cushion.

The figure on the meditation cushion radiated grand moonlight; the hall reflected the endless Golden Light, enveloping the figure, appearing extremely sacred, like a deity in the world.

Upon seeing this delicate figure, even from the back, Ye Chen’s breath caught, instantly recognizing her as Xia Ruoxue.

”Ruoxue.”

Ye Chen felt a surge of excitement in his eyes and immediately walked towards Xia Ruoxue.

However, at this moment, Xiao Bai’s eyes flashed with confusion, unable to resist murmuring softly, ”Sister Xia... ”

Soon, Ye Chen reached Xia Ruoxue’s side and saw the grand moonlight enveloping her, but his brows furrowed.

The moonlight around Xia Ruoxue’s body continually emitted intense fluctuations, containing a turbulent force, obviously not as calm and peaceful as it appeared on the surface.

At this moment, Ye Chen also saw Xia Ruoxue’s face. Her familiar pretty face was quietly closed eyed, and on her forehead was a Moon Talisman shimmering with a wondrous aura, slightly flickering, looking very mysterious.

”Ruoxue, wake up.”

Watching Xia Ruoxue, Ye Chen gently called in a soft tone, but there was no response from Xia Ruoxue.

Just then, Xiao Bai also came over. Seeing that it was indeed Xia Ruoxue, Xiao Bai was very excited. However, realizing that no matter how Ye Chen called, Xia Ruoxue wouldn’t wake up, Xiao Bai’s expression became slightly more grave.
