Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 830: Chapter 697: Insidious, Truly Insidious

After speaking, Feng Xun casually lifted his hand.

A black butterfly then landed on his finger.

Feng Xun’s fingers, long and fair, starkly contrasted with the black butterfly, creating a startling and alarming sight.

Feng Xun’s fingers suddenly clenched, seizing the black butterfly.

Long Baobao cried out in alarm, unsure why Feng Xun would suddenly attack this frail butterfly.

But then, the butterfly emitted a harsh screeching sound, and abruptly transformed into an ugly black bat, baring its ghastly white fangs. After struggling a few times, it died.

”Feng Xun, your hand?” Ye Lingyue was also quite shocked, examining Feng Xun’s hand.

”It’s nothing, just a bat capable of illusion. It appears weak, but a single bite could be fatal,” Feng Xun said with profound meaning.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but glance to the side. The appearance of bats here wasn’t unusual, given the cave’s dampness, but bats capable of illusion seemed extraordinary.

Could it be... Ye Lingyue furrowed her brow, taking another look at Long Baobao.

However, why hadn’t she noticed, yet Feng Xun had instantly realized it?

The remaining bats, disguised as butterflies, no longer dared to linger. They fled in a panic, flying toward a certain direction in the Rift Valley Sand River.

These Evil Spirit Bats were deployed by Long Sixuan.

These past few days, Long Sixuan had been searching for Long Baobao, but initially, Long Baobao had hidden in the cliff palace of the Three-legged Birdman, so the Evil Spirit Bats couldn’t find him.

Knowing that Long Baobao, intending to remind Ye Lingyue, left the cliff palace with Little Zhiyo, the Evil Spirit Bats then discovered his whereabouts.

Originally, Long Sixuan planned to seize the opportunity to strike. However, unexpectedly, Long Baobao charged straight towards the Desert Garden.

Even as bold as Long Sixuan was, he dared not cause trouble near the private garden of the Sifang City Lord. Yet, he wondered, why did Long Baobao go to the Desert Garden?

Long Sixuan would have preferred for an incident to occur with Long Baobao dying in the Desert Garden, but he also feared Long Baobao might expose his actions.

So, after much consideration, he ordered the Evil Spirit Bats to track Long Baobao.

But during the day, the Evil Spirit Bats were too conspicuous. Fortunately, having the ability to transform, they disguised themselves as butterflies and followed Long Baobao.

During the great battle between the Three-legged Birdman and the Beauty Snake Tribe, the few Evil Spirit Bats didn’t dare to get too close.

Long Sixuan only vaguely knew that Long Baobao and his associates had participated in that fierce beast melee. As for the involvement of Chen Hongru and the Earth Spirit, Long Sixuan was unaware.

Originally, after completing their surveillance, these Evil Spirit Bats were supposed to return and report to Long Sixuan, but at that moment, they were discovered by Feng Xun.

Somewhere upstream in the Rift Valley Sand River, Long Sixuan stood on the Four-direction Boat.

When the few Evil Spirit Bats returned, there was a curious hint of color in Long Sixuan’s cunning eyes.

Why are they back already? And one is missing.

These Evil Spirit Bats were transformed from his Evil Cauldron, and Long Sixuan had experienced its techniques; it was impossible for Long Baobao to have detected them.

As Long Sixuan puzzled over it and was about to retract the Evil Spirit Bats to see what the issue exactly was, the Evil Cauldron suddenly issued a warning.

”Get down!”

Long Sixuan’s reaction was quick, and he was just about to do so.

The Evil Spirit Bats, which had barely managed to escape, suddenly exploded like fireworks.

The powerful impact caught Long Sixuan off guard, sending him and the Four-direction Boat he stood on, like autumn winds sweeping leaves, crashing into the mountain wall beside them.

Long Sixuan tumbled down, landing in the sandy ground and swallowing a mouthful of sand, causing the Four-direction Boat to shatter.

He looked extremely disheveled; his neatly groomed hair now looked like a bird’s nest, and his fine robe was blasted with several holes, but fortunately, the timely warning from the Evil Cauldron Spirit allowed Long Sixuan to dodge the most lethal attack.

”Ptui ptui, what the heck is going on?” Long Sixuan’s face was filled with lingering fears.

”Fool, can’t you see that someone tampered with those Evil Spirit Bats? They were sent back intentionally to warn us,” the Evil Cauldron Spirit said irritatedly.

Long Sixuan, with his witless head, couldn’t even see through such a small trick.

”It must be that little beast, Long Baobao’s friend; could it be that Female Alchemist? What capabilities does she have, she is just a little alchemist without any renown,” Long Sixuan’s face turned the color of liver.

Long Baobao’s accomplice is that one called Hei Yue.

Last time, he thought she was one of the members of the Three Sects and let her go without caution.

Afterward, when he learned that Hei Yue was just a low-profile little alchemist, he was extremely annoyed.

”Humph, that head of yours, is it just for decoration? If she were really just some little alchemist, could she overpower you and take the top spot on the Sifang Ranking? She might have the support of some powerful figures behind her.”

The Evil Cauldron Spirit spat.

If it weren’t for Long Sixuan’s similar misconduct, it wouldn’t want to cooperate with him.

A new day’s Sifang Ranking is out, with this one named Hei Yue still on top, proving she is no ordinary person.

Not to mention, the Evil Cauldron Spirit also vaguely smelled some demonic power from those Evil Spirit Bats.

To be able to immediately recognize and tamper with the Evil Spirit Bats without them noticing and almost kill Long Sixuan, these methods are definitely not something a mere human Female Alchemist could achieve.

”Lord Cauldron Spirit, what should we do then? Just give up? There’s only a day and a half left, and that kid Long Baobao is still alive,” Long Sixuan unwillingly said.

”What time is it, and you’re still thinking about Long Baobao. That kid is no threat at all, don’t forget, compared to the disciples of the Sifang City Lord, the position of just a Long Family Master is nothing,” the Evil Spirit Cauldron said, frustrated.

It chose to join hands with Long Sixuan in this World’s First Refining precisely to make Long Sixuan the Closed-door Disciple of the Sifang City Lord.

Everyone knows that for hundreds of years, the Sifang City Lord has not recruited any disciples.

His Closed-door Disciple, and only one at that, will certainly be the future City Lord of the Sifang City.

”Lord Cauldron Spirit, do you think I really could become the disciple of the Sifang City Lord? Look at my age... and Sifang City isn’t that impressive; I think compared to Cang Country, where the Long family originates, it might not even be that great,” Long Sixuan scornfully said.

He initially thought that Sifang City would be something special, but on arrival, it was just a desert location, nothing compared to Cang Country, known as a land of fish and rice, Sifang City was no more than a corner place.
