Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 999: Chapter 59: Enemies Always Cross Paths

The inner sect disciples turned around and saw several young women standing ahead.

Leading them was a beautiful young woman dressed in a rose-colored dress that accentuated her graceful figure. Her long, cascading hair and expressive almond-shaped eyes seemed to speak, occasionally flashing enticing charm.

Behind her were two other women, also with captivating faces. Standing together, they instantly brightened the eyes of the male disciples.

”It’s the junior sisters from Moon Peak.”

The dozen or so inner sect disciples, upon seeing these beauties, were like bees drawn to flowers, completely forgetting about any assassins or Dugu Heaven.

Elder Yue of Moon Peak is the only female elder among the Four Elders.

Her female disciples are the most numerous, all young and beautiful, especially the three before them, who are the most outstanding in looks and cultivation of their generation at Moon Peak, hence called

”The Three Beauties of Moon Peak.”

Among these beauties, the most exceptional is Junior Sister Feiyue. She joined the sect two years ago, but with her sweet demeanor and beautiful looks, she’s always favored by Elder Yue. It’s said that even several senior brothers from other main peaks are pursuing her.

This area is closest to Moon Peak among the Five Main Peaks, and Hong Mingyue happened to be out on a mission with several fellow senior sisters.

By chance, they heard commotion here and came over to investigate.

”Brothers, have you found an assassin?”

Hong Mingyue basked in the adoring gazes of the men as she casually brushed her hair.

Lonely Moon Sea truly is her lucky place; here, Hong Mingyue felt like she had regained her past glory.

What pleased her most was that her eternal rival Ye Lingyue hadn’t had any opportunity to get ahead in the past two years, relegated from the Clothes Washing Workshop to the Refining Hall, doing the most tiring and grueling work every day.

Putting on airs among the fish eyes will never compare to the magnificence of pearls.

Hong Mingyue thought maliciously but wore an alluring smile.

”We did find something. We suspect the assassin entered Dugu Heaven. We were about to investigate, but since even the Four Elders cannot enter Dugu Heaven, we have no choice but to give up.”

One person quickly answered.

”That’s Dugu Heaven?”

Hong Mingyue, having joined Moon Peak two years ago, had been diligently cultivating to win Elder Yue’s favor and seldom ventured out.

She also heard that Lonely Moon Sea was divided into three parts: Dugu Heaven, Green Moon Cliff, and Sea Star Island.

Sea Star Island belongs to the Outer Sect, Green Moon Cliff includes the Five Main Peaks, but Dugu Heaven is unknown to her.

She’d assumed it must be a paradisiacal location comparable to the other two, yet it turned out to be just a small ravine ahead.

”Yes, the ravine down there is Dugu Heaven. It’s said an esteemed ancestor of Lonely Moon Sea resides inside. Their status is highly respected, and their temper not very good. Anyone who intrudes is severely punished.” Seeing Hong Mingyue’s interest in Dugu Heaven, the inner sect disciples eagerly explained to please the beauty.

Upon hearing this, Hong Mingyue’s heart raced.

A stunning visage flashed in her mind.

”Is Zitang Su living in Dugu Heaven?” Hong Mingyue blurted out with a hopeful gaze.

She’s been searching for that person for years, not missing any news of him.

Throughout Lonely Moon Sea, she asked from her master to the servants, yet no one knew of Zitang Su.

Hong Mingyue even suspected Zitang Su wasn’t his true name.

”Zitang Su? Is there such a person in Lonely Moon Sea? Junior Sister Feiyue, Dugu Heaven houses an old resident, though whether it’s an old woman or man, and whether they’re named Zitang Su, perhaps only the Sect Leader knows. Dawn is nearing; we should return to report soon.”

One of the Moon Peak female disciples behind Hong Mingyue spoke.

Regarding who resides in Dugu Heaven, it remains an unspoken secret in Lonely Moon Sea.

However, some mountain-guarding disciples claim they’ve seen the silhouette of the person residing in Dugu Heaven.

That silhouette stands alongside the Three Realms Eagle guarding Dugu Heaven, with silver hair like an old woman.

Thus the rumor in Lonely Moon Sea suggests an elder dwells within Dugu Heaven.

Earlier, there were attempts to sneak into Dugu Heaven to uncover its mysteries.

Meeting bizarre events, those intruders were repelled by the Three Realms Eagle even before entering Dugu Heaven. Occasionally, the few who slipped through were evicted by a strange force before entering the ravine, spiraling about to the extent of being bedridden for a month.

Rescued back, they’d face reprimands by the Precepts Hall.

Over time, the overly curious disciples abandoned such thoughts, and none dared to venture into Dugu Heaven unauthorized.

Old man... Hong Mingyue was somewhat dismayed after hearing this. She had wanted to visit Dugu Heaven, but after persistent warnings from her senior sisters, she reluctantly gave up the idea.

The night passed just like that.

When the golden-red dawn illuminated Green Moon Cliff’s five main peaks, within Dugu Heaven’s ravine.

A drop of water fell onto Ye Lingyue’s face.

Ye Lingyue groaned, her eyelids heavy, every bone in her body aching.

No wonder, the ravine’s height was unknown, and she had been abruptly pulled inside by a strange force—surviving without injury was miraculous.

Drawing a cold breath, Ye Lingyue opened her eyes.

To her surprise, the ravine’s bottom had light, allowing her to see her surroundings.

She seemed to be at the very bottom of the valley, surrounded by steep walls, with nothing else visible.

Compared to the harsh environment, Ye Lingyue’s injuries were even worse.

Truly horrendous, her hands and limbs were covered with wounds from colliding against the ravine’s stone walls.

She gathered her breath and found the Primordial Power in her Dantian was utterly depleted.

Luckily, the elixir pills weren’t crushed. With some simple Cauldron Breath therapy, her wounds stopped bleeding and healed, allowing her to stand.

Upon standing, Ye Lingyue noticed something amiss.

This feeling... her arms and legs suddenly felt so heavy, as if she carried a mountain on her back, every step challenging.

This ravine bottom has something peculiar; upon entering, the body’s pressure increased several times compared to outside.

Given this weight, climbing out was simply impossible.

There was no hint of life around, Ye Lingyue glanced at the towering ravine ceiling, thinking this ghostly place couldn’t be stayed in for long and she must leave swiftly.

Ye Lingyue became vigilant, searching around without finding the Nine Dragon Chant.

The Nine Dragon Chant was critically important to Ye Lingyue, and she had to retrieve it.

Since climbing up was out of the question, she’d search for the Nine Dragon Chant in hopes of finding an exit at the ravine bottom.
