Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 895: Chapter 330: The First Sign of Chaos (First Update)

A blinding white light flickered before them, and everyone felt a sharp sting in their eyes.

In an instant, everything returned to normal. Once the white light dissipated, they realized the place they stood was no longer the mysterious great hall, and those puppet creatures with beast heads and humanoid bodies had completely vanished.

”Where is this?!”

”Where are we now?”

”What happened to the puppets?”

”This place is too strange!”

The group of nearly a thousand people was now reduced to just five or six hundred, with the rest having perished in the previous battle with the puppets. At this moment, regardless of allegiance to good or evil, God Cultivation or Demon Cultivation, they all stood together.

The place they were in appeared to be a large tomb chamber, yet it was quite empty, without a single burial item. The only difference was the peculiar patterns and lines etched on the tomb chamber walls, the meaning of which was unclear.

On the dome above, a pearl as large as a head glowed, emitting a cold radiance.

”Where is Qingge?” Ji Yaohua and the others stood together, and the first to notice Mu Qingge’s absence was Xi Qianxue.

She glanced around but couldn’t spot Mu Qingge, prompting her to ask in surprise.

Her question made the people around her deepen their concern.

Indeed... Where is Mu Qingge?

Ji Yaohua craned his neck, searching the crowd, but indeed couldn’t find Mu Qingge’s figure.

Moreover, he couldn’t see Elder Longsheng or Xuxu’s figure either. Frustrated, he cursed, ”That old guy and Xuxu took the opportunity to escape!”

Escape? How did they escape?

They had all been inexplicably brought to this place, so how did Elder Longsheng take Xuxu and leave?

”Could this be a trap set by Elder Longsheng?” Yao Xinghai guessed with a frown.

”Is it possible we aren’t actually in the Primordial Venerable Tomb?” Ying Ze added, looking up.

Wei Molili shocked everyone further, ”Could Mu Qingge have been captured by him?”

”Don’t panic, the Young Master should be safe.” Huangfu Huan came over to calm their emotions.

When he spoke, all five people turned their gaze toward him. Behind Huangfu Huan, Shen Bicheng closely followed. Shen Bicheng’s demeanor was somewhat similar to that of Ying Ze and Wei Molili. All three were Martial Fools, silent and taciturn. However, there were differences among them.

He rarely spoke while beside Huangfu Huan. In contrast, Huangfu Huan gave a impression of being charismatic and shrewd, calm and astute. The pairing of their stillness and activity, the literary and martial, was very fitting.

”Why do you say that?” Yao Xinghai’s eyes flickered as he asked.

Huangfu Huan shifted his gaze to him, revealing a polite and gentle smile as he nodded, ”The Young Master sent me a message before disappearing, asking me to tell everyone she’s safe.”

”She sent a message to you?” Ji Yaohua asked doubtfully. ”Why didn’t she send a message to us, but specifically to you?”

Huangfu Huan chuckled and glanced meaningfully at the nearby Demon Cultivators, ”I have another task. The Young Master’s exact words were... wait for her return.”

Wait for her return?

Ji Yaohua and the five remained silent, pursing their lips.

They weren’t foolish. Huangfu Huan’s hint was already obvious. Why did Mu Qingge specifically choose Huangfu Huan to deliver the message?

It could only mean that at the moment of her disappearance, she had only enough time to choose one person to convey her message. This was evident by the fact that the message contained only four words. The reason she chose Huangfu Huan was that she knew if she weren’t present, the Demon Cultivators would still need Huangfu Huan to restrain them, and Huangfu Huan would be enough to soothe everyone’s emotions.

”What is your relationship with Qingge?” Xi Qianxue asked coldly, with a chilling undertone.

Huangfu Huan looked at her with a subtle smile in his eyes, ”Goddess, rest assured, we will not harm the Young Master. As for our relationship... if the Goddess is truly curious, she can wait for the Young Master to return and ask her personally.”

”...” Xi Qianxue remained silent, but her beautiful eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

Huangfu Huan spoke again, ”As for how that pair of grandparents disappeared, my acquaintance also saw it with his own eyes.” After saying this, he turned back to indicate Shen Bicheng.

Immediately, all five shifted their gaze to Shen Bicheng.

Shen Bicheng stepped out from the gaze of the five, while at this moment, Han Caicai also walked towards them, not looking at anyone else, but directly focused on Huangfu Huan and Shen Bicheng.

”Where is she?” Han Caicai asked directly.

His attitude intrigued Ji Yaohua and the five. Who was he? Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze knew, as they had once gathered at Mu Qingge’s City Lord Mansion when Luoxing City was established.

Ji Yaohua also knew Han Caicai was the Young Master of the Han Family, and Wanxiang Building was a Northern Continent Han Family enterprise.

Han Caicai knew Mu Qingge, and their relationship was close.

But his attitude towards these two...

Ji Yaohua’s eyes flickered with suspicion: ’Could they also know each other?’

”Young Master Han.” Huangfu Huan looked at Han Caicai, neither humble nor arrogant, with a slight smile.

”Where is she?” Han Caicai asked again.

”The Young Master is fine,” Huangfu Huan said once more.

Han Caicai gazed at him and after a moment, barely noticeable, nodded slightly before turning to leave. His comings and goings left people somewhat baffled. However, Huangfu Huan narrowed his eyes meaningfully, the corners of his mouth lifting into a faint smile.

After watching Han Caicai leave, Shen Bicheng finally spoke: ”The young girl beside that old man seems to have the ability to manipulate space, tearing open a rift amidst the chaos for the two of them to escape.”

Space manipulation!

This statement utterly stunned the five with Ji Yaohua.

Especially the four excluding Yao Xinghai; they had spent quite a bit of time with Xuxu, yet had never seen the girl reveal anything unusual compared to others.

”Damn it! She hid it so well!” Ji Yaohua gritted her teeth, speaking fiercely.

Knowing that Mu Qingge’s disappearance had nothing to do with Long Sheng and the others, the hearts of the few were slightly relieved.

After a moment of silence, Ji Yaohua said: ”Previously, Qingge and Long Sheng had agreed that after bringing Qingge into the tomb, he would leave.”

”So what do we do now?” Ji Yaohua shrugged.

Yao Xinghai and Huangfu Huan both glanced around simultaneously, almost speaking in unison: ”There’s something eerie about this place.”

After speaking, the two exchanged a slightly surprised look. With a slight smile at each other, Huangfu Huan said, ”Please.”

Yao Xinghai didn’t hesitate, nodding to the others: ”This seems to be a chamber in the Primordial Venerable Tomb. Since it exists, there must be meaning to its existence. However, there are no funerary objects here, clearly not a place for burial goods. The only peculiar thing is the design on the wall.”

”What do these designs mean?” Xi Qianxue asked in confusion.

Yao Xinghai shook his head and looked towards Huangfu Huan, who likewise shook his head.

He continued, ”Although I don’t currently know the significance of these designs, I am sure they are not useless. While looking for an exit, we can copy these designs and take them with us, perhaps finding an answer in the future.”

Huangfu Huan nodded, ”I was just thinking the same.”

...

Within the Divine Tomb, a rift suddenly appeared in a space, and two silhouettes fell out from it.

”Ouch!” a girl’s surprised cry sounded.

Following which, an elderly voice immediately said, ”Be careful with my old bones!”

Once they steadied themselves, it turned out to be Long Sheng and Xuxu, the grandfather-granddaughter pair.

”Grandfather, is it a bit unkind to leave without saying a word?” Xuxu patted the dust off her clothes, pouting.

Long Sheng, however, rolled his eyes at her, saying: ”What’s unkind about it? I’ve fulfilled what I promised her. Now that I’ve brought her to the Primordial Venerable Tomb, whether or not she can obtain the Chaos Divine Status is no longer my concern. Moreover, the time left is limited; I must quickly get the Seven-Colored Divine Status. Once we get out, our grandfather-granddaughter duo can enter seclusion properly and soon make our way to the Divine Demon Continent.”

At the mention of the Divine Demon Continent, Long Sheng’s eyes filled with longing.

Xuxu, not quite understanding, said, ”I really don’t get what’s so great about the Divine Demon Continent that makes you always think about it.”

Long Sheng squinted his eyes, shaking his head as he mused, ”Don’t you think that places you’ve never been are more alluring?”

”But what if you find out after going that the Divine Demon Continent isn’t what you imagined, and then you’re filled with regret?” Xuxu inquired, peering curiously.

Long Sheng paused, his expression indefinable, saying, ”If that’s the case, we’ll just take things one step at a time.”

Moving from the Middle Ancient Realm to the Divine Demon Continent is already difficult. Returning from the Divine Demon Continent to the Middle Ancient Realm is even more challenging. The barriers between such spaces are exceedingly hard to break through—unless you have special means.

Long Sheng shook his head slowly, mentally chuckling to himself, ”Isn’t it a bit early to consider these things now?”

”Let’s go, we should search for the Seven-Colored Divine Status,” Long Sheng said to Xuxu.

Xuxu nodded, as the grandfather-granddaughter duo continued their search within the Divine Tomb.

Meanwhile, in the place where the Demon Tomb and the Divine Tomb overlapped, the appearance of the Primordial Venerable Tomb had nothing more to do with them.

...

’Is this... the central tomb chamber? The main burial room!’ Mu Qingge stood in an unfamiliar space, calmly assessing her surroundings.

This main burial room was expansive, with cosmic skies painted on the dome, scenic landscapes on the surrounding walls, and she was stepping on a jade-like floor she had never seen before.

The jade stone was smooth like white jade, fine and polished. Inside, it seemed as if clouds floated hazily, slowly moving.

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing a strong power within these floor tiles, akin to Spirit Stones, yet different.

She looked up, centered in the burial room, where she saw an empty throne and behind it, a huge coffin.

What made her eyes narrow, bursting with excitement, was that above the coffin and throne, there hung an item that floated like stars, emitting a faint halo that enshrouded them in a diamond-like form.

”Divine Status—!” Mu Qingge exclaimed.

This was the Primordial Venerable Tomb, and the place she was in, if her guess was correct, should be the heart of the Primordial Venerable Tomb!

Thus, the Divine Status that appeared here should be...

”Chaos Divine Status!” Mu Qingge’s eyes gleamed with astonishing brilliance.
