Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1069: Chapter 129: Purple Fire Holder

Ye Lingyue and Di Shen, as usual, arrived at the seating area of Wuya Peak.

The elder brothers and sisters of Wuya Peak were inevitably shocked when they saw the changes in Di Shen.

After some explanation, the senior brothers and sisters finally understood.

”If Master knows, he will be very pleased. Di Shen’s breakthrough came at a perfect time. With this, Wuya Peak’s victory is almost certain.”

The senior brothers and sisters of Wuya Peak were all very happy.

”By the way, why hasn’t Master and the other elders arrived yet?”

Di Shen keenly noticed that at the seats of the peaks, none of the elders were present. At this time, it was nearly time for the competition to officially start. Logically, everyone from the peaks should have arrived.

”I just happened to want to tell you about this. There will be some variables in today’s competition. Earlier this morning, several sect disciples returned from the Ancient Battlefield. They are veteran disciples who have entered the Ancient Battlefield in the past. After they returned, they brought back news that several sect disciples met with misfortune in the Ancient Battlefield. The list includes Zhao Tianlang of Hua Feng.”

The senior brother sighed.

After learning the news, Sect Leader Wuya and the elders of the other peaks quickly convened an emergency meeting and are still discussing the matter.

Going to the Ancient Battlefield has always been a high-risk affair, and casualties are inevitable.

However, this time, within just a few months, losing two to three-tenths of the disciples from the Lonely Moon Sea, a number totaling dozens, is unprecedented in the history of the Lonely Moon Sea.

Moreover, there are rumors saying that someone in the Ancient Battlefield is discriminating against the Lonely Moon Sea.

”So this time, you, after entering the top ten, will likely encounter quite a lot of trouble even if you go to the Ancient Battlefield.”

The senior brother sighed again, showing some melancholy in his eyes.

”Master and the others are here.”

Just then, they saw Sect Leader Wuya, the Four Elders, and several disciples entering the training field together.

Some of the disciples looked unfamiliar to Ye Lingyue, recalling what the senior brother said earlier, Ye Lingyue realized those people were the senior brothers who returned from the Ancient Battlefield.

One of them was particularly attention-grabbing.

It was a male disciple who walked slowly, keeping pace with Sect Leader Wuya. Even the Four Elders walked behind him.

The man had a very handsome appearance, with an innocent smile on his face.

He looked like a rising star, holding a konghou in his hands, with fingers more beautiful than a woman’s.

As soon as he entered, the sound of gasping could be heard throughout the field.

”It’s Yue Mubai, Yue Mubai of Moon Peak.”

Upon hearing this shout, the disciples of Moon Peak straightened up a bit, each gazing admiringly at the male disciple.

Yue Mubai?

Ye Lingyue recalled having heard the name somewhere.

Suddenly, she remembered that when she was treating Wuyue earlier, Wuyue mentioned that even Yue Mubai couldn’t cure her illness.

As if guessing Ye Lingyue’s thoughts, Wuyue leaned over and whispered.

”Yue Mubai of Moon Peak, one of the leading figures of Lonely Moon Sea in the Ancient Battlefield. Twelve years ago, he was the champion of the Lonely Moon Sea sect competition, and the only holder of the Purple Fire in Lonely Moon Sea, a Fang Venerate Level Alchemist. He is also the sibling of Elder Yue of Moon Peak. Thanks to Yue Mubai, Moon Peak has its current status. Besides his high cultivation and alchemy skills, he is also skilled in medical arts, making his reputation in the entire Lonely Moon Sea unrivaled.”

A person who even Wuyue praised naturally has his abilities.

However, Wuyue’s words cleverly used the term ”once.”

Di Shen’s breakthrough, in terms of both strength and appearance, was already not inferior to Yue Mubai, with the only slight difference being in their time of fame. Wuyue, as Di Shen’s Fifth Sister, naturally leaned more towards Di Shen.

A holder of the Purple Fire, no wonder even Sect Leader Wuya had to show some deference.

Ye Lingyue thought secretly.

Previously, she also heard Xiong Li mention the Purple Fire while at the Refining Hall, but at that time, she didn’t know that person was from Moon Peak.

Yue Mubai had been at the Ancient Battlefield for years, and in the past two or three years, he spent almost all his time there. When Ye Lingyue and Di Shen arrived, Yue Mubai happened to be away, so they never met.

”The timing of Yue Mubai’s return this time is quite subtle. It is said that he brought back some injured people. Some say he specifically came to observe the top ten competition and assess the strength of this year’s contestants. He will be going to the Ancient Battlefield with the top ten this time. But whether that’s true is unknown.”

Qin Xiaochuan chattered on the side.

He and Yue Mubai were contemporaries, and he had always disliked Yue Mubai and Moon Peak.

At this moment, Yue Mubai had already reached the edge of the stage. When he entered Moon Peak’s seating area, he paused, glancing over at Wuya Peak’s seats.

His gaze fell directly on Di Shen.

One was formerly the most promising dark horse of Lonely Moon Sea, and the other was a leading figure among the younger generation of Lonely Moon Sea. As they met, their eyes connected briefly in mid-air, and an unnamed undercurrent surged up.

”Sect Leader Wuya has taken a good disciple.”

Yue Mubai withdrew his gaze, congratulating Sect Leader Wuya.

”Xiao Liu is still a child, not yet matured...” Sect Leader Wuya was quite proud, but his facial expression remained authoritative.

Yue Mubai, having been honed in the Ancient Battlefield, had a sharp eye. There were few who could earn a compliment from him.

Sect Leader Wuya spoke, glancing at Di Shen. His face twitched, and his elderly eyes widened.

”Master, Di Shen just had a breakthrough last night.”

The senior brother quickly explained.

”Cough, breakthrough? You little rascal, breaking through without informing your master first nearly embarrassed me in front of others.”

Sect Leader Wuya grumbled inwardly.

”Is this also the disciple of the Sect Leader?”

Yue Mubai noticed Ye Lingyue. He had originally heard that the Sect Leader had accepted only one new disciple...

”She is my wife. No need for Senior Brother Yue to be concerned.”

Before Yue Mubai could finish looking at Ye Lingyue, Di Shen stepped forward, shielding her completely.

The intent to protect was obvious to everyone.

Yue Mubai understood in his heart, but a faint, indistinct smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that this ”Banished Immortal” of a Sixth Junior Brother is not flawless. His fatal flaw might just be standing right behind him.

Such a situation would be favorable. Even on the Ancient Battlefield, as long as he seized her weakness, he wouldn’t fear having no control over him.

But this smile froze upon seeing Wuyue standing alongside Ye Lingyue.

He noticed Wuyue’s healthy complexion and the fluctuation of Primordial Power around her...

”Congratulations to Junior Sister Wuyue. I didn’t expect Sect Leader Wuya would be able to enlist the help of that person to treat Junior Sister.”
