Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 871: Chapter 740: A Godlike Existence

Just as Ye Lingyue was busily preparing for the construction of the Three-legged Birdman Tribe in Hong Meng Heaven.

”Dead? Qi Niang is dead!”

When the news of An Qiniang’s death was delivered back to Hunyuan Sect, Chen Mu and Great Elder Chang Luo had just arrived.

Upon hearing this news, Great Elder Chang Luo could hardly believe his ears, and Chen Mu stood frozen in place.

In the main hall of Hunyuan Sect, Sect Leader An Ruosong grabbed Great Elder Chang Luo lying on a stretcher like an eagle catching a chick and threw him out.

”Chang Luo, I entrusted my daughter to you in good condition, and you let her die? How dare you come back to face me!”

Sect Leader An Ruosong, An Qiniang’s biological father, never cared for his unattractive daughter who failed to please him from a young age.

His fury stemmed from the fact that An Qiniang’s death meant the loss of a Divine Power Realm expert in the Hunyuan Sect.

The Hunyuan Sect was reputed as the leader of the Nine Sects, not because, like other sects, it had only one Divine Power Realm expert, but because, including An Ruosong, it had two such experts.

Now that An Qiniang was dead, if this news spread, it would undoubtedly affect Hunyuan Sect’s standing among the Nine Sects. Where else could he find a half-step Divine Power genius martial artist?

This was the real reason for An Ruosong’s anger.

Great Elder Chang Luo, whose burns were still not healed, was further injured by An Ruosong’s strike, tumbling on the ground and spitting blood.

Yet Great Elder Chang Luo didn’t dare to wipe his blood, he crawled on his knees before An Ruosong.

”Sect Leader, I also don’t know how Qiniang died. When Chen Mu and I returned, Qi Niang was fine. Chen Mu, tell him.” Great Elder Chang Luo was equally puzzled, given An Qiniang’s skills and being in Sifang City, who could kill her in such a short time.

The report said that she was killed last night.

Killed in one move, the attacker was decisive and swift.

So, the attack happened just after they left the inn.

Thinking he almost crossed paths with the murderer made Great Elder Chang Luo relieved that they left early.

Great Elder Chang Luo felt no sadness over An Qiniang’s death.

On the contrary, her previous statements had made him loathe that ugly woman.

If An Qiniang hadn’t died, Great Elder Chang Luo’s future would have been a hundred times more miserable.

In the depths of his heart, Great Elder Chang Luo secretly appreciated someone eliminating his future trouble.

”Sect Leader, the disciple and several other disciples can testify that the Master’s wife was fine at that time and uninjured.” Chen Mu hastily kneeled down to explain.

”Hmph, you master and disciple are in cahoots, don’t think I am unaware of how much filth you, Chang Luo, have done behind Qi Niang’s back all these years. Speak honestly, what happened before you returned, who had Qi Niang fought with?” An Ruosong was still in anger.

Daring to kill someone from Hunyuan Sect was akin to slapping the sect’s face, and he could not let this matter rest.

”Sect Leader, I suspect this has something to do with that Ye Lingyue. According to Qi Niang, that Ye Lingyue might be the one the ancestor was searching for. I hurried back to inform the sect leader of this matter. I hope the sect leader will spare me this once for the sake of Hunyuan Sect.” Great Elder Chang Luo hurriedly reported discovering Ye Lingyue, aided by Nan Jiu from Namo Mountain, arranging with An Qiniang to compete again in a few days.

”Oh, how old is this Ye Lingyue, and what is her background?” Although it was just a similar name, it successfully caught An Ruosong’s attention.

Hunyuan Sect’s reputation today is inseparable from the sect-founder of Hunyuan Sect, also referred to by Chang Luo and An Ruosong as the ancestor, Hunyuan Ancestor.

This ancestor established the Hunyuan Sect singlehandedly years ago.

After his cultivation broke through the Divine Power Realm, he became a god and pursued the Dao.

He was the only sect leader of Hunyuan Sect to have become a god.

The Hunyuan Ancestor was known for being protective. Even after becoming a god, he continuously remained in contact with Hunyuan Sect.

However, as the ancestor resided in the Divine Realm, he did not frequent the Qing Province Continent, visiting the sect leader once every ten years.

Over the past centuries, the Hunyuan Ancestor mainly imparted martial arts to his descendants.

Recently, the Hunyuan Ancestor suddenly sent a message instructing the current sect leader, An Ruosong, to locate a woman named ”Ye Lingyue”.

As for the age and appearance of this woman, the ancestor left no clues.

Years had passed, and not many in the Divine Realm could recall the appearance of the original Ye Lingyue.

Not to mention, after reincarnating, Ye Lingyue’s age and appearance were complete mysteries.

The ancestor only wanted Ye Lingyue found and delivered to him. If she couldn’t be captured alive, killing her on the spot and bringing her corpse would suffice, rewarding the doer with a Primordial Power Infusion from Hunyuan Ancestor, increasing one’s martial realm cultivation.

The decree gave An Ruosong a thrill of motivation.

Particularly An Ruosong himself, already a one-step Divine Power Realm expert. If he could receive a martial realm infusion from Hunyuan Ancestor, he might become the second person to become a god after the Hunyuan Ancestor.

Yet, An Ruosong was cautious and did not disclose the ancestor’s reward to every disciple. Instead, he ordered a search, while the reward was changed from a martial realm infusion to a third-tier martial art.

During this period, An Ruosong found several women named Ye Lingyue.

However, these were all ordinary people.

After taking them for verification with the ancestor, finding none to be the Ye Lingyue, An Ruosong simply executed them.

Months passed, taking An Ruosong from hope to hopelessness, unexpectedly encountering one again.

Uncertain if this was the one they sought.

”Withdraw for now, I will notify the ancestor at once about this matter. Regardless of whether that person is who we seek, tomorrow morning, I will go with Chen Mu to Sifang City to personally catch the murderer of Qi Niang.” An Ruosong said, eagerly heading to Hunyuan Sect’s forbidden area.

If it was confirmed that Ye Lingyue was indeed that Ye Lingyue, or that there was a connection.

Then losing an An Qiniang was worth it, for she rightfully repaid years of upbringing with her death.

The forbidden area of Hunyuan Sect, located in the rear mountain of the sect, is a tomb.

This tomb was built by the founding Hunyuan Ancestor of the sect.

Only the sect leader and core disciples of Hunyuan Sect know this tomb is just a cenotaph; after the ancestor ascended to godhood, the tomb became a venue for communication between him and the descendants of Hunyuan Sect.

Once inside the tomb, An Ruosong lit incense.

This incense, called ”Invitation Incense,” was left by the Hunyuan Ancestor.

It is only ignited when the Hunyuan Sect faces destruction-level danger or has a significant matter to report.
