Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1025: Chapter 85: News of Xi Jiuye

Ye Lingyue glanced at the map, Tiankui Palace, the first palace of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Palaces.

It is closest to the Heavenly Gang Thunder Sea, and the hall master there should be the Heavenly Gang Palace Master.

But the map can only provide this much information.

Unlike the Earth Evil Prison, Ye Lingyue had no information about these thirty-six Heavenly Gang Palace Masters.

”Master, each Heavenly Gang Palace is heavily guarded. In every Heavenly Gang Palace, there are a thousand Heavenly Gang Soldiers and one Heavenly Gang Palace Master. The strength of that Tiankui Palace Master is even stronger than the Gua Niu Great Monarch.” Hunyuan Ancestor shared his findings with Ye Lingyue.

”Then one-on-one, can you defeat him?”

Ye Lingyue countered.

”If it’s just one-on-one, I can tie with that Tiankui Palace Master, maybe even slightly outperform him. But there’s one thing. The Tiankui Palace Master is proficient in a special martial art, and even with your help, we wouldn’t be opponents. Therefore, Tiankui Palace can only be taken through strategy, not brute force.” As expected of the founder of the Hunyuan Sect, Hunyuan Ancestor’s analysis of the situation was shrewd.

”I also agree with using strategy; if we attack by force, we might be discovered by the masters of the other thirty-five Heavenly Gang Palaces.”

Ye Lingyue also agreed with Hunyuan Ancestor’s opinion, but for the moment, she didn’t know how to go about it strategically.

At that moment, Ye Lingyue suddenly remembered something.

”Hunyuan Ancestor, it should be your first time coming to the Heavenly Gang Palace. How do you know the Tiankui Palace Master understands special martial arts?”

”Master truly is perceptive. Honestly, I don’t quite remember either, just that I once encountered a Heavenly Gang Palace Master in the Divine Realm, suggesting there might be some connection between the Heavenly Gang Palaces and the Divine Realm.”

Hunyuan Ancestor gave an embarrassed smile.

Hunyuan Ancestor was refined into a puppet by Ye Lingyue, yet that mysterious orchestrator behind him had indeed meddled somehow, unknown to him or her.

Hunyuan Ancestor only remembered coming from the Divine Realm, but he couldn’t recall much about it.

This made it impossible for Ye Lingyue to investigate who from the Divine Realm was trying to harm her.

Although Hunyuan Ancestor’s memory had been erased, when he secretly observed the Tiankui Earth Palace Master, he felt a sense of familiarity, prompting him to warn Ye Lingyue.

”Oh, could it be that the Heavenly Gang Palaces are also connected to that hidden orchestrator?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyue raised her eyebrows.

This was a good opportunity; perhaps she could take a risk and potentially discover some information about that hidden orchestrator.

After a moment’s thought, a plan formulated in her mind.

She whispered something to Hunyuan Ancestor, who nodded in agreement.

Ye Lingyue donned a set of attire and, together with Hunyuan Ancestor, made their way towards Tiankui Palace.

Tiankui Palace was located in the southernmost part of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Palaces.

The entire palace was grand and magnificent, perpetually shrouded in a glorious light.

In the front courtyard of the Heavenly Gang Palace, a grove of bamboo was planted. Unlike ordinary bamboo, the Heavenly Gang Bamboo was golden and grew above the Cloud Sea, requiring Spiritual Spring water for its growth.

The growth of Heavenly Gang Bamboo was slow, growing only an inch or so each year.

Thus, the two acres of Heavenly Gang Bamboo, just over a person’s height, had several hundred years of age and were extremely precious.

A War General clad in a bronze helmet stood before the Heavenly Gang Bamboo. The man, standing a full nine feet tall with a full-fledged beard, had a red face and large ears, resembling a fierce general like Zhang Fei at a glance; he was the Tiankui Palace Master.

”Reporting to the Palace Master, a Main God claiming to be Hunyuan Ancestor requests an audience outside the palace.”

A Heavenly Gang Warrior hurriedly arrived.

”Hunyuan Ancestor? That name does sound familiar. Now I remember; he seems to be a Main God from the Northern Realm. When I went to see the Divine Master and Divine Consort earlier, he was there serving them. But why would he abandon the Divine Realm to visit such a remote place like mine?”

The Tiankui Palace Master seemed surprised that a Main God like Hunyuan Ancestor would come to a place like the Heavenly Gang Palace.

Could it be that the Divine Master had an order?

Little did the Tiankui Palace Master know, the Hunyuan Ancestor now was not the same as before.

”Bring him in... never mind, this Palace Master will personally welcome him.”

The Tiankui Palace Master adjusted his attire and ordered his men to carefully watch over those two acres of Heavenly Gang Bamboo.

Outside the Tiankui Hall, Ye Lingyue and Hunyuan Ancestor waited.

It turned out Ye Lingyue’s plan was to use Hunyuan Ancestor’s former identity to infiltrate the Tiankui Palace.

Even with the plan in place, Ye Lingyue felt uneasy; if the Tiankui Palace Master didn’t remember Hunyuan Ancestor, or if a warrant had been issued for Hunyuan Ancestor after his betrayal, his visit could mean walking into a trap.

But aside from this plan, Ye Lingyue had no other way to infiltrate Tiankui Palace without any conflict. Thus, she had to take a gamble.

Fortunately, as usual, Ye Lingyue’s luck didn’t fail her this time either.

Not long after the Heavenly Gang Warrior went to report, there came a hearty laugh.

”Old Ancestor, it’s been years, and you’re still as vigorous as ever.”

A robust man strode forward; his aura and cultivation made it clear that he was the Tiankui Palace Master.

”Palace Master, you haven’t changed a bit either.”

Hunyuan Ancestor casually walked forward; the two clasped fists and exchanged pleasantries like long-lost friends reunited.

”Old Ancestor, who might this be?”

The Tiankui Palace Master noticed Ye Lingyue beside Hunyuan Ancestor, given his keen eye, he saw that Ye Lingyue lacked the divine radiance, hinting she wasn’t from the Divine Realm, stirring suspicion.

”Oh, that’s a grand-disciple from my sect before ascension, bringing her to broaden her horizons.” Hunyuan Ancestor replied nonchalantly.

To fit in with Hunyuan Ancestor’s identity, Ye Lingyue wore a robe of the Hunyuan Sect disciple.

The Tiankui Palace Master thought nothing more of it and subsequently invited Hunyuan Ancestor into the palace, with Ye Lingyue tagging along as Hunyuan Ancestor’s attendant, entering the Tiankui Palace together.

The Tiankui Palace Master escorted Hunyuan Ancestor to an honored seat, personally attending to him. After some small talk, the Tiankui Palace Master moved on to the main topic.

”Old Ancestor, since we last parted ways at the Northern Realm, over a hundred years have passed. What brings you to the Heavenly Gang Palace today? Could the Northern Territory Divine Sovereign have a matter requiring your presence to inform us?”

Just as the Tiankui Palace Master finished speaking.

There was a clatter, and Ye Lingyue, seated beside Hunyuan Ancestor, inadvertently trembled.

The hot tea spilled on her hand, turning it red.

The noise caught the attention of both Hunyuan Ancestor and the Tiankui Palace Master, causing the Tiankui Palace Master to glance over.

”What a fool, overcome by the Palace Master’s divine power, unable to even hold a cup of tea. Get out at once.”

Seeing Ye Lingyue’s odd expression, Hunyuan Ancestor feigned anger and reprimanded her.

”Ah, no need for such anger, Old Ancestor. She’s but a youngster; a few more years of honing will do. I remember when I first met the Northern Territory Divine Sovereign, his immense divine power almost scared me senseless, almost rendering me speechless.” The Tiankui Palace Master laughed heartily.

Hastily, Ye Lingyue stood up, offering apologies as she retreated to wait outside.
