Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1100: Chapter 160: Provoking the Powerful

A sigh fell.

In the sky, a flash of white light suddenly appeared, only to see an elder in black clothing, stepping on a cloud of Primordial Power descending from the sky.

The elder was none other than the Wuling City Lord who had earlier stopped Di Shen.

”Please hold on, both of you.”

”Whatever tricks you have, feel free to use them. Today, I must leave.”

Di Shen’s face was expressionless, but his heart was anxious. His eyes remained fixed on the front, the city gate was his only target.

”Even if you leave Wuling City, you won’t be able to return to the Ancient Pass immediately. There is danger at the Ancient Pass, and all Transmission Arrays will be closed for three days. You also risk violating the newcomer rules, which could lead to you and your friends being permanently evicted from the Ancient Battlefield. But if you stay, I can try to find out about your friend’s safety. You are a smart person; you should know what’s more beneficial for you.”

The Wuling City Lord’s words showed no displeasure.

This surprised Zhang Quan and the other city guards. As the first City Lord among the nine newcomer cities, the Wuling City Lord was known to be strict, with harsh means for dealing with disobedient newcomers. It was unclear why he would show lenience today.

Clearly, Di Shen breaking the Forbidden Heaven Prison moved the City Lord’s heart to cherish talent.

Di Shen’s eyes showed a flicker of realization.

Though distressed by Ye Lingyue’s danger, his emotions out of control, he was ultimately a remarkably intelligent person.

The Wuling City Lord’s appeal to emotion and reason made him come to his senses.

He broke the Forbidden Heaven Prison, but also exhausted his strength.

Even if he could return to the Ancient Pass, he feared he was already a spent force, unable to deal with the guards of the Ancient Pass, let alone find his wife.

In Ancient Nine Provinces, he was currently like a grain of light, unable to even find Ye Lingyue.

A strong sense of frustration filled Di Shen’s chest.

”Sixth Brother, listen to the City Lord; let’s wait a bit longer. I believe Ling Yue won’t disappoint us.”

Wuyue choked up, looking at the big boy in front of her.

Di Shen’s taut body gradually relaxed like a drawn bow.

Yes, how could he doubt his wife?

”How long will it take?”

Di Shen’s voice was hoarse.

The Wuling City Lord’s aged eyes showed a flash of comfort; the young man did not disappoint him after all.

”Twenty-four hours, I will make sure to find out about your friend’s safety.”

”Alright, I’ll stay at Wuling City for twenty-four more hours.”

Di Shen finished his words, said nothing more, and walked straight to the city gate, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rejuvenate.

”City Lord, this kid actually talked to you like that, so disrespectful.”

Zhang Quan’s face was full of displeasure.

”No problem.” The Wuling City Lord smiled, ”Young lady, tell me your friend’s physical appearance and features. It would be best if you have a portrait of her.”

The Wuling City Lord’s query was quickly conveyed to the Ancient Pass, but the Ancient Pass side could not immediately respond either, because they needed to confirm the log of newcomers arriving from various passes.

Meanwhile, the Ancient Pass side was also quickly gathering information on the specific numbers and whereabouts of those who perished or went missing in the Primordial Power Storm.

The sky appeared overcast with no sunlight in sight.

An indistinct noise sounded in the ears.

Ye Lingyue felt pain all over her body, even raising a finger was difficult.

”Looks like she’s been dead for quite a while.”

”Valuables are all gone, leaving only useless junk.”

”It’s a woman, with a decent figure, wonder how her face looks.”

”Zhang Zi, don’t even spare the dead, you’re so repulsive. I’ll step aside.”

It seemed like two men’s voices; Ye Lingyue struggled to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, unable to lift them.

All of her energy was depleted battling the Primordial Power Storm.

Her body was rudely turned over, her wounds tore open, making Ye Lingyue feel like swearing.

She must have been swept into the Transmission Array by the Primordial Power Storm, passing out, hence mistaken for a dead person.

A sound of sharp intake of breath came.

The man flipping her body exclaimed in delight.

”Whoa, turns out she’s a great beauty, pity she’s dead. Don’t worry, let me care for you before finding a place to bury you.”

Then, Ye Lingyue felt hands tearing at her clothes.

Damn, this man actually wanted to desecrate a corpse; Ye Lingyue forcibly gathered her energy, pressed one hand on the man’s hand, infusing Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles’ needle power and Black Cauldron Breath into it.

The man thought the other was already dead, but witnessing a ’resurrection’ startled him.

Yet the next moment, he screamed in agony, those hands groping Ye Lingyue instantaneously froze into icicles, the man’s hands exploded like fireworks.

Only then did the man realize he’d provoked someone he shouldn’t have, disregarding his broken hands, he scrambled towards his companion.

The man’s companion heard the commotion, saw the man’s state, and was startled. This injury wasn’t something a typical ancient battlefield newcomer could cause; it seemed that unconscious ’unlucky ghost’ might be an experienced Demon Hunter.

He cursed under his breath.

”Didn’t they say only newcomers roam here? Totally shipwrecked in a ditch, we must flee.”

He grabbed the man and dared not check Ye Lingyue’s life or death again, summoned a Spiritual Artifact, and fled in disarray.

Ye Lingyue forced the man to retreat but had no excess energy left. Fortunately, her spiritual power was still abundant.

Whether the Hong Meng Heaven could still be opened was uncertain.

Ye Lingyue tried to move her Divine Sense, and delightedly, there was a quick response.

She released Little Zhiyo, Evil Rabbit, and Little Wuya.

”Boss, what happened to you?”

Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya were frightened by Ye Lingyue’s condition. They had followed Ye Lingyue along so long, even through the toughest times on the Qing Province Continent, never seeing her so miserable, yet on the very first day at the Ancient Battlefield, their owner suffered such severe injuries.

Luckily, Little Evil Rabbit was more experienced in such scenarios. It looked around, its three-petaled mouth moved.

”The boss has encountered a Primordial Power Storm, her injuries are severe, let’s treat her first, this place seems weird.”

Little Wuya hurriedly helped Ye Lingyue sit up, fed her some water and Spirit Fruit, and had Little Zhiyo and Evil Rabbit patrolling the area.

After eating something, Ye Lingyue regained some strength and slowly started accumulating Cauldron Breath.

The White Tripod Breath was truly a healing Divine Artifact, about an hour later, Ye Lingyue felt her damaged meridians and several critical injuries rapidly healing, and the pain greatly subsiding.

Only then did she open her eyes, meeting Little Wuya’s worried gaze.
