The Divine Urban Physician

“Hall Master Ye, you don’t have to worry about us. If you’ve only reached the Divine King realm by the time the deadline arrives, please don’t come back. We’re more than willing to self-destruct. We won’t let the Blood Spirit Clan humiliate us!”

“At that time, please avenge us, Hall Master Ye!”

At this point, Ye Chen was their only hope of resisting the Blood Spirit Clan. If he was not strong enough, it was better if he did not sacrifice his life alongside them a year from now.

At the very least, he would be able to avenge them in the future that way.

Now, the only thing that they could do was to cultivate diligently. Escaping was not an option, as they were too weak to venture into the Lingwu Continent anyway.

Perhaps surrendering might have worked before this, but now that the ultimatum had been issued, and given how tyrannical and ruthless the Blood Spirit Clan was, destruction was assured.

Some might be allowed to live, but those people would suffer a fate worse than death.

“There’s no need to be so pessimistic!”

“It won’t be difficult for me to reach the Dao Integration realm in a year, and when I do, I should be able to defeat Kui Ying, who is a peak-level Dao Integration realm expert.”

“I won’t let the Kunlun Mountains and all of you perish,” Ye Chen said with determination. After saying that, he leapt into the air and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for Spirit City.

Han Yun, the Star Sword Sect’s ancestor, and the others stared at Ye Chen’s departing figure and sighed repeatedly. It would be a long journey ahead, and it would be fraught with dangers.

For now, all they could do was get stronger, while praying for the hall master’s good fortune.

…

Ye Chen arrived at Spirit City once again, and in an instant, thirteen auras soared into the sky, as the ancestors flew over to Ye Chen.

They stared at Ye Chen with some fear, as they could sense that he was much stronger than yesterday. At the very least, he was no weaker than they were now, so if he used his trump card, he would be able to overwhelm them.

Thus, as soon as Ye Chen entered Spirit City, they all came out to welcome him!

“Little Brother Ye, why have you come again?”

“If you need something, we will naturally help,” said the Wild Blade Sect’s ancestor.

“Everyone, come on down. I’m not going to bite.”

Ye Chen then brought them to the Li family’s territory. His gaze swept across the thirteen ancestors as he smiled and asked, “Everyone, you must have entered the Lingwu Continent when you were young, and hence know more than I do.”

“I want to know everything you know about the Lingwu Continent!”

“Also, where do you think I should go?”

Naturally, Ye Chen would not seek out Ling Yun right off the bat, as he was not qualified to do so yet. What he needed was a place to become stronger as soon as possible.

The Blood Sword Sect was also in the Lingwu Continent, and it was almost certain that the true bodies of the hundred ancient mighty experts were imprisoned somewhere in the Lingwu Continent. However, he had to avoid both for the time being.

He believed that these thirteen people in front of him would be able to give him clues as to which path to take.

The thirteen ancestors looked at each other.

The ancestor of the Pill Cauldron Sect stroked his beard and said, “The thirteen of us have been to the Lingwu Continent when we were young, and have been collecting information about the Lingwu Continent over the years. It has been decades since the last batch of disciples went to the Lingwu Continent!”

“Most of them died in the Lingwu Continent, so that should tell you that the dangers in’ the Lingwu Continent are beyond your imagination!”

He glanced at Ye Chen and saw that the young man was unfazed, so he continued, “Supreme Emperor realm experts are commonplace there, as are Semi Divine realm experts. There are too many to count. Furthermore, in the Lingwu Continent, one’s sect and background is important.”

“The Kunlun Mountains are now a low-level martial plane. To put it bluntly, our background is worthless, so anyone who becomes aware of our background will show disdain and humiliate us.”

“Little Brother Ye, are you really going there?” he asked with a playful smile.

“Of course!”

Ye Chen then continued, “Tell me about the various sects and families in the Lingwu Continent, as well as any other noteworthy information. However, if you try to feed me false information, I’ll kill you when I return!”

These thirteen ancestors would definitely have a lot of information and intelligence about the Lingwu Continent, but this also meant that they might try to mislead him and put him in danger.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Chen had summoned the three men he had sealed, including the head of the Li family, in order to verify that these ancestors were speaking the truth. After all, these three people could not lie to him.

“The structure of Lingwu Continent isn’t much different from the Kunlun Mountains!”

“Some of the disciples who journeyed there brought back information.”

The Regal Pill Sect’s ancestor took out a bamboo scroll and handed it to Ye Chen. He then said, “The Lingwu Continent is divided into five regions, each of which is ten times larger than the Kunlun Mountains!”

“Within the five regions are families, sects, demonic beasts, and other factions!”

“The Beigong family that you know is located in the southern region. It governs the Blood Sword sect and several dozen other sects.”

“These families are differentiated by the strength of their bloodlines. Families with strong bloodlines are basically giants, while families with weak bloodlines are likely to be subordinate families of some sects or other forces.”

“What about the sects? And what’s the situation with the demonic beasts?” Ye Chen perused the maps and special locations marked out on the bamboo scroll.

“Sects and families exist side by side. In some places, sects rule over families, whereas in other places, the families rule over the sects, such as the Divine Dragon family, the Holy Dragon family, and so on.”

“As always, the strength of their bloodlines determines everything. Not long ago, the disciples of the Blood Sword Sect led by Wei Wucheng were the first to arrive at the Kunlun Mountains. They had seventh or eighth-rate bloodlines flowing in their veins, which meant that they were from seventh or eighth-rate families or sects.”

“As for demonic beasts, many sects and families have vast seas and forests near their territories, within which the demonic beasts reside.”
