Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 841: Chapter 708: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road, Conflict While Demon Hunting

That ”dragon” was not a real dragon, but a cliffside waterfall.

The terrain of the Demon Domain is much steeper than that of the Qing Province Continent, and the waterfall’s momentum is much more magnificent than any other waterfall Ye Lingyue had ever seen.

The water was ink-black, misty and tumbling, rushing down and falling into an abyss the size of a parade ground.

Near the abyss, the spray was intense, and the depth of the water was unfathomable.

Just as the Little Corpse had said, this area was the only freshwater abyss on the outskirts of the Demon Awakening Gate, the Demon Lying Abyss.

All kinds of Fierce Beasts and demon beasts would come to drink near the Demon Lying Abyss at irregular intervals.

Because there were many demon beasts and Fierce Beasts, sometimes, even Great Demon Level beasts would appear here. Therefore, with some luck, Ye Lingyue and her party might also find Divine Beasts from the Endless World that had come to hunt Great Demons at the Demon Lying Abyss.

Of course, that would require a great deal of fortune or a lengthy wait.

As soon as she approached the Demon Lying Abyss, Ye Lingyue felt the Evil Qi become much denser around her. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the Evil Qi was steaming up from within the abyss.

Fire is Gang, Water is Evil. The Demon Lying Abyss has existed for countless ages, and the continuous Evil Qi here is enough to cause a person with a frail body to be stricken dead immediately by the Evil Qi Infiltration.

Worried that Long Baobao and Feng Xun might not have enough stamina, Ye Lingyue quietly released the Cauldron Breath from within her body. Around the three of them, an invisible protective barrier was formed, which significantly reduced the impact of the Evil Qi on the trio.

”Sister Yue, there are people ahead,” Long Baobao nudged with her mouth.

Indeed, near the Demon Lying Abyss, three speck-like shadows were moving.

”How could it be them?” Ye Lingyue frowned.

Having taken the Invisibility Elixir, Ye Lingyue was not afraid of being discovered. She gestured and carefully approached the Demon Lying Abyss.

Those three shadows were none other than Yue Mei, Chen Mu, and An Yang, who had entered the Demon Awakening Gate ahead of Ye Lingyue’s party.

Those three specks were the glow from the Soul Stabilizing Incense on their bodies.

It turned out that Ye Lingyue’s party found the Demon Lying Abyss by following the guidance of the Little Corpse.

Before coming to Sifang City, Yue Mei had been reminded by her master that after entering the Demon Awakening Gate, she should not delay and head straight for the Demon Lying Abyss.

Her master’s Fire Bathed Phoenix was captured by chance near the Demon Lying Abyss.

However, back then, the Pavilion Master of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion had waited a full seven days and nights before a Divine Bird Phoenix came to hunt and was captured. According to her master, it was an extraordinary stroke of luck, not something everyone could encounter.

”Junior Sister Yue, are there really demon beasts lurking around here? I haven’t sensed anything,” An Yang said despite having the Soul Stabilizing Incense lit. He still felt an icy chill to the bone. Being an Alchemist, his cultivation was inferior to that of Chen Mu and Yue Mei, and he had been nervous all the way here.

Finally arriving at the Demon Lying Abyss without sighting a single Fierce Beast made him understandably frustrated.

”Who says there are no demon beasts? Keep your voice down, if we really encounter some powerful Fierce Beasts, I can’t guarantee your safety. Our Soul Stabilizing Incense has a beast-repelling effect, so to allow more Fierce Beasts to approach, I suggest we remove the incense,” Yue Mei said, seeing that one stick of Soul Stabilizing Incense already burned down by half, realizing they had already spent an hour and a half.

She didn’t have the seven days and nights like her master to spend, she only had four hours left.

Back then, the Pavilion Master of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion was already a master of the Divine Power Realm. She had the Sifang City Lord open the Demon Awakening Gate and then immediately shut it off, only to open it again after seven days and nights.

Although Yue Mei was confident, she was only at the Reincarnation Realm and naturally did not dare to linger for seven days and nights.

Holding onto the Soul Stabilizing Incense, I’m afraid it will be difficult to attract any formidable Fierce Beasts or demon beasts.

When she arrived, she had already made up her mind to find at least a demon beast cub of Great Demon Level to take back.

Upon hearing this, An Yang shrank back a bit, but with Chen Mu and Yue Mei having already removed their Soul Stabilizing Incense, he had no choice but to reluctantly take his down too, trembling as he followed behind the two.

With the scent of the Soul Stabilizing Incense dispersing, the air near Demon Lying Abyss seemed to become even colder.

From afar, a roar of a beast could be heard, drawing closer and closer, sounding utterly terrifying.

”Beasts are said to seek food and water around dawn. We might have to wait another two hours. Junior Brother An, for the sake of Sifang Ranking, we can only wait,” said Chen Mu, steadier than An Yang, his eyes darting around cautiously, vigilant for any Fierce Beasts that might pounce at any moment.

Yue Mei couldn’t be bothered with An Yang, the eyesore, and deliberately strolled over to Chen Mu’s side.

”I heard that someone called Sister Hei Yue ambushed you earlier? She’s now the number one on the Sifang Ranking?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu knew that this was an excuse provided by their master. He hesitated for a moment, choosing not to speak.

An Yang, on the other hand, couldn’t help but voice his dissatisfaction.

”That one called Sister Hei Yue is just lucky. When we ran into her, she pretended to be weak, and even had an annoying pretty boy by her side. Who knew she was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, who knows how many she’s cheated behind their backs. I don’t think she has the real ability to hunt so many Fierce Beasts. It’s probably because she practiced some Evil Skill. I’ve heard some witches from the Cult, with their seductive Cultivation Techniques, specialize in absorbing the energy from the opposite sex, wreaking havoc on men.”

An Yang believed that Sister Hei Yue had no background or real skill; all she had was a face, seductively beautiful, even charming their senior brother into confusion.

He also saw that Yue Mei fancied their senior brother. Coming from Yaochi Immortal Pavilion and besmirching Sister Hei Yue could very well please her.

And so, An Yang spoke more and more vigorously, almost portraying Ye Lingyue as a despicable woman of easy virtue.

Yue Mei, listening to this, indeed softened her expression a lot and started to look at An Yang with less aversion.

”Junior Brother An, stop talking,” Chen Mu said with slight displeasure.

Yue Mei glanced at him, her words carrying a sour tinge of jealousy.

”Chen Mu, what’s your relationship with that Sister Hei Yue?”

”We just met by chance; she’s a proper lady. It’s not too good to talk behind people’s backs,” Chen Mu covered up.

He was well aware that his current status and position were not as good as before, and he needed to cultivate a good relationship with Yue Mei.

Yue Mei noticed the flicker in his eyes and became certain there was something different about Chen Mu’s feelings towards Sister Hei Yue.

A look of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

It seemed that if she met Sister Hei Yue again, she would have to teach her a lesson.

She really wanted to see what kind of vixen dared to vie with her, Yue Mei, for a man.

An Yang and Chen Mu’s conversation, word for word, all fell into the ears of Ye Lingyue and her companions not far away.

Ye Lingyue was alright, but the people next to her were very angry.

”That person is insulting Sister Hei Yue!” roared Long Baobao, shaking his little fists, wishing he could immediately rush forward and teach that An Yang a lesson.

”They’re just some irrelevant people,” Ye Lingyue stopped Long Baobao.

Beside her, Feng Xun’s phoenix eyes lifted slightly, noting the glint of jealousy in Yue Mei’s eyes. His pupils flashed, a fleeting murderous intent passing through.
