Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 836: Chapter 703: Breaking Through the Demon Awakening Gate

Ye Lingyue and Die Mei parted without telling Long Baobao and Feng Xun about the Demon Awakening Gate immediately.

Inside the Demon Awakening Gate, there might be Great Demons and Fierce Beasts even more formidable than the Earth Evil Great Lord.

Ye Lingyue remembered Die Mei’s warning, and for most of the day, she pondered whether to explore the Demon Awakening Gate before or after midnight.

This caused her to be distracted most of the time, and as a direct consequence, she didn’t manage to hunt a single Fierce Beast from afternoon till night.

Long Baobao was also listless.

After all, only one day and one night were left before the contest ended.

His points were still far behind Long Sixuan.

After nightfall, having given it thorough thought, Ye Lingyue decided to tell Feng Xun and Long Baobao about the Demon Awakening Gate.

”I know this is risky, but we don’t have other choices. Otherwise, as soon as tomorrow passes, Long Sixuan will surely become the top of the leaderboard.”

”So, you’re planning to follow the Sifang City Lord and the people from Yaochi Immortal Pavilion secretly tonight. Ling Yue, you must take me with you, although I may not be of much help, I can assist you with the Arrays,” Feng Xun unexpectedly didn’t oppose Ye Lingyue’s plan.

He knew that Ye Lingyue treated Long Baobao like a younger brother, and she was determined to handle his matters personally.

Ye Lingyue indeed needed to bring Feng Xun, as Die Mei had mentioned, the Sifang City Lord would set up Prohibitions nearby during the opening of the Demon Awakening Gate, and without Feng Xun, she and Long Baobao wouldn’t be able to enter the range of the Demon Awakening Gate.

As for how to protect Feng Xun and Long Baobao, Ye Lingyue had already figured it out.

”Each of us will carry a bottle of Invisibility Elixir. Little Steamed Bun, you take this Avoiding Qi Pill. When we follow the Sifang City Lord, you all must stay close to me, so I can take care of you fully in case any unexpected events occur.”

The Avoiding Qi Pill and the Invisibility Elixir would ensure that Long Baobao remained undetected by anyone.

As for Feng Xun, Ye Lingyue had thought it through; in case of any emergencies, she could send him to Hong Meng Heaven.

With all these plans set, Ye Lingyue believed everything was foolproof. Now, all she had to do was wait for the signal from Die Mei and the arrival of the appointed time for the opening of the Demon Awakening Gate.

Just as Ye Lingyue was preparing everything thoroughly, Yue Mei had already revealed the matter of the Demon Awakening Gate to Great Elder Chang Luo, who, upon hearing the news, immediately informed his two disciples.

In the Riverfront Area, the sunset was like a golden velvet blanket.

On the Four-direction Boat where Chen Mu and An Yang were, Chen Mu had just received the Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission from his master.

His handsome face bore a thoughtful expression.

The recent events at the Rift Valley Sand River had left an indelible mark on the usually arrogant Chen Mu and An Yang.

They had experienced ambushes and barely survived the claws of Fierce Beasts.

Chen Mu, a disciple from a noble family, had witnessed trials more terrifying than court struggles, and his character had toughened significantly in just a few days.

”Senior Brother Chen, is what Master said true? Do we really still have a chance to turn the tables?” An Yang and Chen Mu’s current ranking in the Sifang Ranking was around fifteenth or sixteenth,

compared to the top three, their points were almost a thousand behind.

But Chen Mu was also more cautious now; he held several Four Directions Tokens still warm with human body heat, which he had obtained from several participants earlier and had not yet added to his score.

As the fourth day’s final hours approached, their count of hunted Fierce Beasts was still far from enough.

An Yang had even begun to despair, but at this moment, the Great Elder’s letter was like a straw to grasp at.

Naturally, An Yang didn’t want to give up and clung desperately, hoping that Chen Mu would agree immediately.

”An opportunity indeed, but it’s not necessarily that simple—it is, after all, the Demon Awakening Gate.” Chen Mu could certainly see the deeper implications of this letter.

The letter from his master, in every word and line, conveyed a sense of both encouragement and command.

Implicitly, if Yue Mei could secure a demon or Divine Beast with superior bloodline from within the Demon Awakening Gate, her position as Pavilion Master of the Turquoise Pool Immortal Pavilion would be solidified as an absolute fact.

And for Chen Mu and An Yang, this opportunity to hunt Fierce Beasts could lead to An Yang potentially becoming the disciple of Sifang City Lord, thus making Sifang City under the rule of Hunyuan Sect in the future.

As for Chen Mu, as long as he could keep Yue Mei happy, perhaps tonight, he might also obtain a formidable Beast Pet within the Demon Awakening Gate, which would then compensate for his inability to break through to the Divine Power Realm.

But Chen Mu also knew that if things really went as his master described, he would inevitably be tied to Yue Mei for life, unable to escape her clutches given her temperament to not tolerate him having other women.

The woman he fancied was only Ye Lingyue.

Just thinking about Ye Lingyue’s face beautiful like the autumn moon, and her eyes sparkling like stars as she spoke, warmed Chen Mu’s heart.

Ye Lingyue was currently ranked first in the Sifang Ranking, she had never liked him. If he could turn the tables and take her top spot, then maybe she wouldn’t look down on him anymore.

Moved by the thought, coupled with An Yang’s relentless pestering beside him, Chen Mu finally nodded. Seeing that the sun had completely set, he responded to the message from Great Elder Chang Luo first before he and An Yang controlled the Four-direction Boat towards the meeting place mentioned in the letter with Yue Mei.

This night was a long one for many.

Ye Lingyue, having waited expectantly, finally saw several Dead Butterflies silently flying by around midnight.

She received a message from Die Mei, then along with Feng Xun and Long Baobao, they all took an Invisibility Elixir, and headed upstream against the sand river. Due to Long Sixuan’s killings, Fierce Beasts near the sand river were scarcely seen.

This allowed Ye Lingyue to move smoothly until she reached the outskirts of Sifang City.

The trio disembarked the boat, about to enter the city, when they suddenly saw several people standing at the city gate, led by the Southern Envoy who had given the Four Directions Token to Ye Lingyue earlier.

”The City Lord has ordered to strictly guard tonight, lower the city gates, and start the curfew.”

Ye Lingyue, Feng Xun, and Long Baobao all became tense.

Although they had taken the Invisibility Elixir, they were invisible only to the naked eye; with the gates closing, entering the city would require extra effort. Missing the appointed time with Sifang City Lord and Yue Mei would mean their efforts were all in vain.

As the city gates were about to close, urgency was evident on Ye Lingyue’s face.

But just then, salvation arrived.

A woman accompanied by two servants approached.

Ye Lingyue recognized the two who looked like servants and blinked.

Those two were none other than Chen Mu and An Yang.
