Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1117: Chapter 177: The Secret Inside the Rockery

Despite half a month having passed, Ye Lingyue remained deeply concerned about the artificial hill.

She subconsciously felt that beneath it, there must be some big secret hidden.

As usual, Ye Lingyue’s Primordial Spirit emerged and swiftly headed towards the direction of the artificial hill.

Near midnight, the City Lord’s Mansion remained silent, with only the scattered sound of the night watchman’s drumbeats echoing through the city.

”Still no results.”

Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue shook her head. Just as she was about to leave the artificial hill, a click sounded underfoot, as something sank down.

Ye Lingyue was startled and looked towards the dark ground.

Only to discover that a moss-covered rock of the artificial hill beneath her feet had been stepped and sunken in.

What is this?

Unknowingly, over the past half month, Ye Lingyue’s Primordial Spirit had been venturing out nightly, unknowingly becoming much stronger.

Now, her Primordial Spirit could exert around twenty percent of her body’s physical power.

This meant that even utilizing her Primordial Spirit, Ye Lingyue could attack, defend, and handle objects, albeit with slightly weaker strength, equivalent to the First Layer of the Power of Heaven and Earth.

After some delight, Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue’s gaze fell on the moss-covered rock of the artificial hill.

She noticed that all the rocks on this part of the artificial hill were smooth, except for the one beneath her feet which was covered in moss.

Moreover, several pieces of moss suspiciously fell off.

She compared it with her hand, and it just happened to be a handprint.

Ye Lingyue no longer hesitated and exerted a slight force.

Only to hear the already half-sunken stone let out a crisp sound, as if it had triggered some switch.

The seemingly flawless artificial hill revealed an extremely secretive stone gate.

Behind the stone gate was a narrow mountain path.

A cold draft blew through from the mountain path.

There was indeed something going on beneath the artificial hill!

Just after a brief thought, Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue slipped right into the stone gate of the artificial hill.

Shortly after she entered, the stone gate closed.

After entering the stone gate, Ye Lingyue traversed through a passage just wide enough for one person to barely stand, winding through a long tunnel.

The tunnel was very long, yet clean. Once inside, Ye Lingyue’s eyes quickly adjusted to the lighting inside the artificial hill.

Wherever she looked, along the walls of the tunnel, were embedded glowing Night Light Seashells.

”Bang—bang—bang”

As Ye Lingyue observed her surroundings, a series of terrifying collision sounds came from the depths of the artificial hill.

The sound was like the roar of a Wild Beast and the impact equivalent to a small earthquake struck again.

”It’s this sound.”

Ye Lingyue frowned, quickened her pace, and sped towards the depths of the artificial hill.

As the beast-like yet human-like sound attracted Ye Lingyue into the artificial hill.

A shadow flashed outside the garden.

The figure rushed impatiently, quickly entering the garden with a few steps.

”!”

Upon seeing the situation inside the garden, the figure trembled involuntarily.

The empty and tidy scene before his eyes left the newcomer in stunned silence.

”How is it possible, those Heavenly Sword Hemp?”

The newcomer murmured to himself.

Just then, the truly terrifying roar echoed, startling the newcomer. Without hesitation, he ran towards the artificial hill.

Inside the artificial hill, Ye Lingyue finally reached the base of the hill.

On seeing the scene before her, Ye Lingyue was taken aback.

Ahead was a square-shaped cage.

Each iron bar of the cage was made of Nirvana Iron, as thick as Ye Lingyue’s arm.

Inside the cage lay a tall Wild Beast, covered in gray-white fur, with its limbs bound by ropes, its nails long untrimmed.

The ropes were not ordinary ropes, but specially refined Demon-binding Ropes made from spiritual beast tendons.

One of the Demon-binding Ropes even pierced directly through the beast’s scapula.

The beast constantly roared and struggled, but with each struggle, the ropes would tighten further.

No wonder it continuously emitted painful roars day and night.

What kind of demon beast is this, to be locked away in such a place?

Just as Ye Lingyue was filled with curiosity, the beast’s throat rolled and it let out another roar.

At this moment, its face buried under the dirty fur revealed itself.

”!”

Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue involuntarily stepped back.

She held her breath.

Those were a pair of eyes, despite being bloodshot, the emotions within had been entirely consumed by anger and madness, yet they were undeniably... human eyes.

It’s human. The being held captive in this cage was not a Wild Beast, but a person.

Upon realizing this, Ye Lingyue felt a chill run down her spine.

She realized that due to her momentary curiosity, she seemed to have gotten herself into big trouble.

No matter who this person is, or who imprisoned him here, she must leave immediately.

A sense of danger emerged, and Ye Lingyue prepared to leave the artificial hill.

But just at this moment.

She suddenly felt the air behind her turn cold. Her body stiffened as she sensed a powerful surge of Primordial Power approaching from behind.

Boom—

The Primordial Power accurately targeted Ye Lingyue’s back of the head.

The speed and power were so fierce that Ye Lingyue already anticipated the next moment, the scene of her Primordial Spirit being shattered.

In such a critical situation.

Ye Lingyue’s potential also erupted at that instant.

Her body tilted slightly like a fish.

If it were ordinarily, Ye Lingyue’s physical body would have found it difficult to avoid the man’s deadly strike.

But now, Ye Lingyue was in Primordial Spirit Emergence mode, free from the constraints of a physical body, making her evasive movements silent and more agile.

The man’s Primordial Power barely grazed past her side.

Immediately, mountain stones splattered, creating a deep pit half a foot deep on the hill’s wall.

The one attacking Ye Lingyue was the night traveler who had earlier infiltrated the City Lord’s Mansion.

This person frequently appeared around the artificial hill and had already sensed something was wrong when much of the Heavenly Sword Hemp had been removed from the garden.

Upon entering the artificial hill, they were even more certain that the stones had been tampered with.

The person was cunning, and after briefly checking by the stone gate, finding no footprints, they deduced that the intruder was either highly cultivated or came as a Primordial Spirit Emergence.

Sure enough, Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue was stopped dead.

However, the person didn’t expect Ye Lingyue to be able to evade their attack.

Just upon encountering the man’s Primordial Power, Ye Lingyue realized that this person’s cultivation was far above her own, and he likely understood the essence of Primordial Spirit Emergence, making her Primordial Spirit unable to hide before him.

The artificial hill was too narrow and not a place suitable for a fight; without a desire to battle, she didn’t even gaze upon the man’s appearance before fleeing towards the outside of the artificial hill.
