Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 997: Chapter 57: Bafflingly Became an Assassin

Upon seeing the giant palm flying toward her, Ye Lingyue realized trouble was ahead.

She had been too rash; how could such an important place like the sect’s main peak allow her to intrude so easily?

Her Invisibility Elixir could conceal her aura, but its effectiveness depended on each situation.

It was only effective against those with cultivation lower than or slightly higher than hers. Within the Inner Sect of Lonely Moon Sea, experts thrived, especially the Four Elders and Sect Leader Wuya, all were pinnacle figures of the mainland. How could they possibly not see through the mere eye-blocking technique of the Invisibility Elixir?

Ye Lingyue moved her Divine Sense, attempting to evade into Hong Meng Heaven.

But just as she planned to escape, an overwhelming pressure closed in on her; the other party seemed to have known she wanted to escape.

Her body felt as if it was trapped in a swamp, unable to move, as if frozen in place, with no opportunity to enter Hong Meng Heaven.

The palm arrived, grasping Ye Lingyue tightly.

Though the void palm was indeed formed by Primordial Power, its fingers were like molten iron, and with one grip, Ye Lingyue’s bones screamed, feeling as if they were about to fall apart.

Ye Lingyue suspected that if she did not escape this giant palm soon, her body would explode, crushed into powder.

The opponent didn’t even give her a chance to explain, intending to obliterate her immediately.

Really treating her like an insignificant ant.

Despite the pain, at this moment, Ye Lingyue didn’t feel it; a sense of humiliation surged, as she was underestimated.

Ye Lingyue is not someone to be bullied.

”Cauldron Spirit, lend me your strength.” As soon as Ye Lingyue’s voice fell, the Cauldron Spirit, having absorbed the Five Spirit Bat Stone earlier, darted into Ye Lingyue’s body.

Ye Lingyue’s squished flesh turned into a blaze of black and white light the instant the Qian Cauldron entered her body. Gray Fire burned fiercely, transforming Ye Lingyue’s body into a furnace.

The void giant palm didn’t anticipate Ye Lingyue’s countermove, and suddenly let go.

Ye Lingyue’s body plummeted downward; knowing the palm’s owner wouldn’t let this slide, she took a deep breath, picked a random direction, and swiftly fled.

Inside Wuya Peak, in a secluded stone chamber.

”Hiss——”

Sect Leader Wuya, who was sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, suddenly cried out strangely, jumping up from the stone couch.

He hurriedly looked at his hand.

Sect Leader Wuya’s hand was unexpectedly covered with dense blisters as if scorched, resembling the shape of the earlier void giant palm.

”Master, did someone launch a night attack?”

Outside the stone chamber, footsteps resounded; Sect Leader Wuya’s registered disciples were waiting outside.

Except for Sixth Disciple Little Di Shen, who temporarily resided on Sea Star Island due to his youth, the other disciples lived on Wuya Peak. Among them, the First and Third Disciple were married, and their families were also serving at Wuya Peak.

The disciples sensed the disturbance outside Wuya Peak’s perimeter.

Lonely Moon Sea was always heavily guarded; to enter the Inner Sect required breaching the Sect Protection Array, passing through the well-guarded Outer Sect to reach the Five Main Peaks.

For hundreds of years, the main peak had been peaceful, yet tonight there was an enemy attack.

”Master, your hand?”

The night attack was shocking enough for the disciples, but seeing Sect Leader Wuya’s hand stunned them.

Were their eyes deceiving them, did their master’s hand get injured?

”Someone intruded into Wuya Peak earlier; I used the ’Taixu Palm’, unexpectedly...”

Sect Leader Wuya said with a sigh.

To hear their master used Taixu Palm, unable to repel the enemy, and instead got lightly injured, stunned the disciples further.

Because Taixu Palm was Sect Leader Wuya’s exclusive martial art.

It was a first-tier martial art, rare for its ability to transcend the physical, using Primordial Spirit Telekinesis to repel enemies.

Ordinary martial artists, even those with cultivation comparable to Sect Leader Wuya’s, if not trained in Primordial Spirit Attack type cultivation techniques, couldn’t withstand a palm from Sect Leader Wuya.

Yet, the opponent not only escaped intact but injured Sect Leader Wuya—specifically, his Primordial Spirit Telekinesis—this was noteworthy.

”Master, did you see who it was? Could it be someone from the Demon World?”

Earlier, the Three Sects joined forces to eliminate Doomsday Demon Sun, something Sect Leader Wuya’s disciples knew about.

”Not at all, that person shouldn’t be from the demon ilk; their body bore no Evil Qi or demonic power. The person likely used an elixir to conceal their form or carried a treasure, so I couldn’t see their appearance clearly. They injured my Primordial Spirit but also got hurt by my Taixu Palm; they shouldn’t have fled far. They might be hiding in the other four peaks; issue orders to seal the Inner Sect, and ensure the person’s whereabouts and origins are found.”

Sect Leader Wuya remembered distinctly; he had initially subdued the person.

But for inexplicable reasons, the person suddenly unleashed an odd power within, akin to blazing flames, causing his Primordial Spirit immense pain, like needles poking and divine fire burning. Pain led to negligence, allowing the person’s escape.

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Wuya’s First and Second Disciple immediately took orders, notifying others on the four peaks to prepare and search their peaks.

”By the way, why are only four of you here? Where’s Old Fourth?”

After giving instructions, Sect Leader Wuya noticed one disciple missing among his five.

The remaining disciples exchanged glances.

”We haven’t seen Fourth Senior Brother all day; he seemed to have left early with Sixth Junior Brother.” Little Di Shen’s Fifth Senior Sister hesitantly said.

”Old Fourth, such an age, still messing around with Xiao Liu all day. When he returns, have him see me.” Sect Leader Wuya scolded, blowing his beard and glaring.

Having no family, Sect Leader Wuya treated his disciples like his own children.

Among the peaks, he had the fewest disciples, yet they constantly caused him trouble.

Besides the somewhat steady Old First and Old Third, the others were like children who hadn’t grown up, always worrying him, especially Little Di Shen, who gave Sect Leader Wuya headaches.

With the sect competition approaching in one or two months.

The sect competition of Lonely Moon Sea was significant, and during the last competition, Wuya Peak accidentally lost to Moon Peak, tarnishing his reputation.

Sect Leader Wuya had already decided; in the coming months, he must vigorously train his disciples to ensure Wuya Peak secures the top prize.
