Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 826: Chapter 693: Mysteries Awaiting Resolution

Time had already flown by for four days and three nights.

When morning sunlight once again sprinkled across the Rift Valley Sand River area, everything seemed the same as usual.

Hardly anyone knew that in the past day and night, in the area around the Rift Valley Sand River, both the Beauty Snake Tribe and the Three-legged Birdman Tribe, which held considerable positions among the Fierce Beasts, had disappeared.

The former was completely extinguished, while the latter vanished into thin air.

However, hardly anyone does not include the Sifang City Lord located in Sifang City.

The previous day, because the Desert Garden was suddenly destroyed, the mood of the Sifang City Lord was very bad, extremely bad.

But what made his mood even worse, was that the results of the identity investigation of the young couple he had sent people to inquire about was also far from ideal.

This time, the attendees participating in the World’s First Refining final selection competition were much more than in previous years.

Due to the leak of the news that the Sifang City Lord wanted to screen male and female disciples in advance, many young men and women from the mainland had joined this competition.

Therefore, among the young male and female contestants who had a distinguished appearance and similar age, a simple investigation revealed at least dozens of pairs, and as for the past day and night, the number of Fierce Beasts hunted has not changed, occupying more than half.

In this case, unless these people all eventually enter the top fifty and enter the final round of the final selection, the Sifang City Lord had no way to confirm their identities, let alone identify which person held the Moonflower king.

This made the Sifang City Lord very frustrated.

But more frustrating events were still to follow.

The day after the Desert Garden was destroyed, when he woke up early in the morning and habitually glanced at the Fierce Beast Map hanging on the wall in his room, he suddenly discovered that the map, originally known as the Hundred Evil Map, was suddenly missing three Fierce Beasts.

These three missing Fierce Beasts were the Lightning Mink, Three-legged Birdman, and Beauty Snake.

Coincidentally, these three Fierce Beasts lived downstream, midstream, and upstream of the sand river respectively, all of which were absolutely dominant in that area.

This Fierce Beast Map was no ordinary map; it was specially preserved by the Sifang City Lord after consulting with the Three Sects for a certain reason.

Over the years, for that reason, The Sifang City Lord had deliberately preserved all the Fierce Beasts, preventing any of them from becoming extinct prematurely.

But overnight, three species had vanished.

Fierce Beasts could not go extinct without reason, nor could they leave the Rift Valley Sand River.

There was only one reason: they had been killed.

”Who is so blind to have killed thousands of Three-legged Birdman and Beauty Snakes! If I find out who did it, I will never let it go!” Early in the morning inside the Sifang City Lord’s Mansion, the City Lord bellowed like thunder.

Suddenly, the entire City Lord’s Mansion seemed to have experienced a magnitude eight earthquake, trembling several times, nearly waking up all the distinguished guests within.

A furious Sifang City Lord was very terrifying, and the servants dared not rush in at such times.

Housekeeper Qin, standing outside the door, thought to himself.

”Isn’t it because you, sir, on a whim, set up this ten-day and ten-night Sifang Ranking, in order to squeeze into the top fifty, to become your closed-door disciple, that these people are fighting for their lives to hunt the Fierce Beasts.”

The Sifang City Lord inside was also wronged; he couldn’t have predicted that these contestants would be so formidable, hunting to the point of total annihilation.

The Sifang City Lord paced back and forth in his room, the more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became.

”It’s not right. Ordinary Three-legged Birdmen and Beauty Snakes are one thing. The Three-legged Birdman Tribe possess the Earth Spirit, and the Beauty Snake King has a powerful Spiritual Artifact. Their intelligence is notable. How could they all just disappear at once.”

Moreover, the Sifang City Lord knew that these three Fierce Beasts were coincidentally natural enemies.

Among them, the Beauty Snake and Three-legged Birdman are mortal enemies, and the Three-legged Birdmen like to feed on Lightning Minks.

The extinction of the Lightning Minks was still explainable as this Fierce Beast was not particularly formidable in the region of the Rift Valley Sand River, and their numbers were already few.

But the Three-legged Birdman and Beauty Snakes were different. Each of their queens were knowledgeable in Human Clan languages, even capable of using Human Clan military tactics, a class of Fierce Beasts that existed in significant numbers: the Beauty Snake had at least seven to eight hundred, and the Three-legged Birdman had over two thousand.

Both disappearing together—could it be that someone took the opportunity to provoke them, leading them to mutual destruction?

Thinking it over and over, the Sifang City Lord felt that this was the most plausible possibility.

Otherwise, how could participants, paired in twos, possibly kill so many Fierce Beasts.

The Sifang City Lord thought for a long time until near noon, and then suddenly made a decision; he informed his subordinates to immediately release the news.

When the Sifang City Lord was furious, Hong Mingyue had already risen and started her morning cultivation.

This was a habit that Hong Mingyue had maintained for many years.

Even after she had acquired the Joyful Union Skill, this habit had remained unchanged.

Hong Mingyue rose early, not solely for the purpose of cultivation. She also wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could meet Zi Tang Su.

Because she had long heard that the Cultivation Technique of Lonely Moon Sea was different from other Sects.

People of the Lonely Moon Sea preferred to absorb the purest thread of Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth during sunrise and moonset.

Thus, she rose early and found out where Zi Tang Su lived. She occasionally loitered outside his courtyard, hoping to encounter him.

Unfortunately, Hong Mingyue’s hopes ultimately remained unfulfilled.

For someone at the level of cultivation like Zi Tang Su, there was simply no desire to absorb the Spiritual Energy from a place like Sifang City.

Apart from that one encounter in the City Lord’s Mansion, Hong Mingyue never met Zi Tang Su again.

He never reappeared in public again, just as the external rumors suggested. Zi Tang Su was a person with an almost reclusive nature, solitary in his comings and goings, a trait that had been true since he made his name on the mainland.

Hong Mingyue waited until daylight but still didn’t see Zi Tang Su, feeling increasingly disheartened.

She did not want to return to her residence either, in case she ran into Luo Song, who would pester her for Dual Cultivation.

Since confirming their relationship, Luo Song had always postured as her fiancé, constraining her freedom and even unwilling to allow her excessive contact with other men, which greatly annoyed Hong Mingyue.

With her mind in turmoil, Hong Mingyue simply left the City Lord’s Mansion and began wandering around Sifang City.

It wasn’t completely light yet, and there weren’t many people in Sifang City.

On the street, there were only a few sparse passersby.

Hong Mingyue looked at the neat streets of the city, her thoughts wandering back to her hometown, Daxia Capital.

Since the downfall of Hong Residence, she had not returned for half a year.

Daxia Capital held all her childhood memories, but now, all that had dissipated like smoke and clouds.

As Hong Mingyue pondered, she unconsciously walked out of Sifang City.
