The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3834: Chapter 3834: Plaything? (Sixth Update)

Only after a full ten seconds did a voice finally come from the Slaughter Sword: ”Here.”

”I’ve been asleep for a while, but fortunately the aura of the Dark Domain woke me up.”

”Kid, the Sacred Origin Heart is a fine thing. You really don’t plan to use it yourself?”

Ye Chen hesitated for a few seconds, then still shook his head. ”No.”

”Right, Fairy Xuan, what should we do about the Golden Witch Body Refining Pill? Is there no way anymore?”

”This time in the Moon Soul Domain, I realized my strength is far from enough. I want the power to stand against the Qiankun Realm!”

Xuan Han Yu said a bit helplessly, ”Back then I did obtain that Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique from a certain Wu Clan member and can pass it on to you, but I didn’t get the Golden Witch Body Refining Pill. After all, unless it’s someone as unbelievable as you, that Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique has limited effect for humans. I didn’t go out of my way to look for the pill.”

Ye Chen nodded. The Wu Clan’s bloodline was special; this Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique gave them quite a boost, so in the ancient era this method was a rather famous Body Refining Method, but it was not so for humans.

Ye Chen put away those pill recipes, his eyes flickering as he said, ”The time is almost up. Looks like it’s about time to head for that Ten Thousand Destruction Forest.”

But just then, Ye Chen’s expression suddenly moved. Outside the room, a knocking sound rang out at the door.

Ye Chen opened the door and saw a rather beautiful woman in servant’s clothing smiling at him. ”May I ask, are you Young Master Ye? The City Lord of Deceit City invites you to the City Lord’s Faction for a talk!”

Ye Chen’s face showed a look of surprise. What business did this Deceit City’s City Lord have with him?

However, Ye Chen wasn’t particularly worried. After pondering for a moment, he nodded. ”Alright, let’s go.”

Now, not only the Netherworld Cloud Clearing Association, but Jiuqing Mountain was also standing behind him. A mere Deceit City City Lord was not enough to make him wary.

Under the woman’s lead, it wasn’t long before Ye Chen arrived at the Deceit City City Lord’s Faction.

The Deceit City City Lord was named Bi Hu, and had sat in office for several thousand years. He appeared as a slightly chubby, rosy-cheeked middle-aged man.

At this moment, he was dressed in brocade robes, standing outside the City Lord’s Faction, actually personally coming out to greet Ye Chen.

Seeing that maid bring Ye Chen to the front of the residence, a trace of joy surfaced on Bi Hu’s face. With a gesture of his hand, he said, ”Young Master Ye, please, come inside.”

Ye Chen slightly nodded to Bi Hu. ”Lord Bi is very considerate.”

The two stepped into the residence and sat down in the reception hall, while the pretty woman who had invited Ye Chen brought up two cups of Spiritual Tea.

Ye Chen said, ”Lord of the Mansion summoned me here—what is the matter?”

Bi Hu smiled. ”Young Master Ye, fortune smiles upon you! Didn’t you previously pass the Advanced Cloud Clearing Master examination and set the record for the fastest to become an Advanced Cloud Clearing Master?

The Netherworld State Governor, who is also the Lord of the Netherworld Dark Mansion, is extremely pleased by this and is all the more favorably disposed toward you, Young Master Ye. He wishes to invite you to Wuming City for a talk!”

Hearing this, Ye Chen’s expression could not help but change slightly!

The Netherworld Dark Mansion?

This was the official organization of the Dark Domain!

If this Netherworld State Governor were to harbor ill intent toward him, then even Jiuqing Mountain and the Cloud Clearing Association might not be able to protect him...

But very quickly, Ye Chen’s expression returned to normal. In the path of Cloud Clearing, he possessed strength comparable to a Cloud Clearing Master, and every Cloud Clearing Master was of considerable use to the Dark Mansion.

Even now, he was only an Advanced Cloud Clearing Master, but definitely the one most likely to advance to Cloud Clearing Master among them. Looked at that way, the Dark Mansion shouldn’t make things difficult for him.

What’s more, the Lord of the Netherworld Dark Mansion had already personally spoken. Even if he wanted to refuse, he had no right to refuse.

Ye Chen had no choice but to nod. ”Since the Lord favors me, I shall impose myself for a while.”

Bi Hu let out a hearty laugh. ”Young Master Ye, how forthright. The Lord will probably send someone to fetch you very soon. Please stay temporarily in this City Lord’s Faction.”

He quietly let out a breath of relief. If he failed to handle this matter well, with Gu Mansion Master’s temperament, his mood definitely wouldn’t be good...

Bi Hu had absolutely no desire to bear Gu Xuan’s wrath!

He glanced at Ye Chen, and in his eyes there was vaguely a trace of apology...

Seeing Bi Hu’s expression, Ye Chen frowned slightly. What was with this Lord Bi?

Why did he look like he’d accidentally sent me to my death?

After staying in the City Lord’s Faction for several hours, a clear cry suddenly sounded from outside. Ye Chen’s expression shifted; with a flash, he appeared at the gate, only to see a Roc covered in golden feathers in the sky, descending toward the Deceit City City Lord’s Faction at an inconceivably fast speed!

Even Ye Chen couldn’t help but praise when he saw the Roc’s speed. ”So fast!”

If he had this Roc as a mount, he might only need three days to travel back and forth between Deceit City and the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest!

Xuan Han Yu also said, ”This Golden Roc is indeed a fine mount. It seems to have inherited a trace of the ancient Golden Winged Great Peng’s bloodline.”

And on the back of this Roc sat a young girl with a somewhat cold expression—Gu Xuan’s maid, Xiao Rou.

The Deceit City City Lord Bi Hu hurriedly went up to greet her. ”I pay my respects to Miss Rou!”

Xiao Rou nodded slightly to Bi Hu, seemingly not paying much heed to a mere city lord. She looked at Ye Chen and said, ”Young Master Ye, I am the governor’s maid, Xiao Rou. Please mount this Golden Roc. Our governor’s patience has never been very good.”

Ye Chen’s figure flickered and he landed on the back of the Golden Roc.

The next moment, the Roc’s twin wings flapped, and amid howling winds it turned into a streak of Golden Light and tore through the sky.

Sitting on the Golden Roc’s back, Ye Chen looked at Xiao Rou and asked, ”Miss Xiao Rou, may I ask why the governor wishes to see me? Is it because of my performance in the Cloud Clearing examination?”

Xiao Rou looked at Ye Chen and couldn’t help but sigh. ”Because you’ve piqued her interest.”

”Hm?”

Ye Chen was somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Rou said, ”There aren’t many people who can interest the governor, and you’re unfortunately one of them. It’s like a child seeing a toy they like—they’ll want to get it into their hands and play with it, won’t they?”

Ye Chen frowned slightly at her words. ”I have no interest in being any kind of toy.”

Xiao Rou smiled a little helplessly. ”Just remember this: after you meet the governor, the more ordinary you act, the better. Whatever you do, don’t keep drawing her attention. Otherwise, it won’t be a good thing for you.”

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered uncertainly. Why was this matter sounding more and more bizarre?

The Golden Roc’s speed was indeed fast. Before long, Ye Chen and Xiao Rou had already arrived at Wuming City.

Under Xiao Rou’s guidance, Ye Chen came to the heavily guarded main headquarters of the Netherworld Dark Mansion.

Soon, the two entered the main hall of the Netherworld Dark Mansion.

The moment he stepped into the hall, Ye Chen’s expression shifted!

On the main seat sat a woman with a gauzy veil over her face and a graceful figure!

The Netherworld State Governor was actually a woman?

When Gu Xuan saw Ye Chen, a trace of joy flashed through her beautiful eyes. She stood up and said, ”You are Ye Shitian?”

Ye Chen gave a slight bow. ”I am. I have seen the governor.”
