Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1119: Chapter 179: It’s Him!

The shadowy figure had been bound by the Demon-binding Rope earlier, yet somehow, he managed to break free from all but the one on his scapula.

When Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun arrived, the shadowy figure was in a fierce battle with the Huangquan City Lord.

Ye Lingyue was taken aback.

With the City Lord’s skills, he could only manage a draw with this beast-like prisoner.

”City Lord, be careful.”

Concerned for the Huangquan City Lord, Si Xiaochun drew his sword and was about to step in.

”Xiaochun, don’t go. This is the prisoner I mentioned earlier.”

Ye Lingyue speculated that this person might be as skilled as the City Lord.

Just as Ye Lingyue finished speaking, Si Xiaochun lit the Fire Stick, the faint light flickered and at that moment, the beast-like prisoner and the City Lord exchanged blows, forcing the City Lord to retreat a few steps.

The beast-like prisoner suddenly raised his head, revealing eyes indistinguishable from those of a wild beast.

When Si Xiaochun clearly saw his face, he nearly dropped the Fire Stick to the ground.

He exclaimed in shock.

”Old City Lord!”

Ye Lingyue was stunned upon hearing this.

The prisoner confined in the rockery was actually the Old City Lord of Huangquan City. She had thought he was a mortal enemy of the City Lord or a notorious criminal.

”He’s the Old City Lord? But didn’t you say earlier that the Old City Lord had passed away years ago? Why does the City Lord keep him imprisoned? Is it for seizing the City Lord’s position?”

The mystery of the beast-like prisoner’s identity was solved, but the ensuing confusion left Ye Lingyue more bewildered.

”Impossible, the Old City Lord, he is...” Even the usually eloquent Si Xiaochun was at a loss for words. ”Alas, he is the City Lord’s biological father. How could the City Lord harm him?”

Si Xiaochun himself didn’t understand why the Old City Lord had become like this. He appeared to have been deranged for years.

Si Xiaochun always thought the Old City Lord had been dead for many years.

Actually, not only Si Xiaochun, but everyone in Huangquan City thought so.

Who would have thought that the Old City Lord, said to have died of illness years ago, was always imprisoned in the rockery, and the one who imprisoned him was his only daughter?

Si Xiaochun felt his mind in chaos, not knowing what to do.

”Xiaochun, who allowed you to speak so much? Quickly restrain the Old City Lord.”

Clearly, the Huangquan City Lord didn’t want anyone to know about the Old City Lord. She let out a sharp sound.

Her steps executed a mysterious technique, and her hand produced several more Demon-binding Ropes.

With a flick of her wrist, the ropes whirled like whips, aiming for the Old City Lord’s waist.

The Old City Lord, though deranged, instinctively rejected the Demon-binding Rope.

He let out a guttural sound from his throat, and his eyes gleamed blood-red. Twisting his waist like a snake, he swiftly avoided the ropes, slipping away.

With hands like large fans and fingers like hooks, he suddenly changed direction, attacking Si Xiaochun.

Imprisoned for years, his heart brimming with resentful energy and fierce qi.

His claws moved as fast as lightning, unseen yet with an indescribable suction, landing on Si Xiaochun’s shoulder. Si Xiaochun felt an excruciating pain as chunks of flesh from his shoulder were torn away.

”Hehe, meat...”

The Old City Lord, eyes gleaming with bloodlust, directly threw the pieces of meat into his mouth, chewing them raw. Blood dripped from the corners of his lips, staining his gray-white hair, making him look as gruesome as an evil ghost.

”Old City Lord, how could you...” Si Xiaochun was in pain and shock, unable to move his feet, rooted to the ground.

He couldn’t accept that the Old City Lord he revered had turned into this.

The Old City Lord’s appearance now had lost all the elegance and wisdom he once had, resembling the demon beasts of the Central Plains Wilderness, eating human flesh raw.

”Delicious... need more.”

Having tasted human flesh, the Old City Lord emitted strands of black, gloomy evil qi.

In an instant, he struck again.

This time, he replaced his claw with his mouth, grabbing Si Xiaochun, aiming for his neck artery to bite down.

”Father!”

The Huangquan City Lord let out a desperate cry.

The scene she feared most had happened.

She wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

If she had known this, she should never have kept her father alive, even if it meant being an unfilial and disloyal daughter.

At that moment, a black-red demon eye suddenly appeared between the Old City Lord and Si Xiaochun.

The Old City Lord, previously in a frenzied state, suddenly halted.

He maintained his pouncing posture, but his body froze as if under an immobilization spell, stuck in place.

At the Old City Lord’s feet, a pitch-black little rabbit appeared.

”Master, finished.”

In crisis, Ye Lingyue had a quick idea, using the power of the immobilization spell through Little Evil Rabbit.

Witnessing the sudden intervention of a black rabbit, both Si Xiaochun and the Huangquan City Lord stood in shock, having just escaped danger.

”What are you standing there for? Quickly restrain him.”

Ye Lingyue was also drenched in cold sweat.

She realized why the Huangquan City Lord had detained the Old City Lord.

The Old City Lord had contracted a severe illness, almost indistinguishable from a typical demon.

Ye Lingyue’s words snapped both the Huangquan City Lord and Si Xiaochun out of their trance.

Together, they easily restrained the Old City Lord with the Demon-binding Rope.

Seeing the rope piercing his scapula, with blood and flesh muddled, his body covered with a thick layer of matted hair, seemingly unkempt for years, emitting a greasy, foul smell.

Si Xiaochun couldn’t help but shed tears.

”City Lord, why did you never tell me the Old City Lord is still alive? How could he live like this...”

Thinking of how the Old City Lord had been confined in such a dark place in the rockery all those years, Si Xiaochun felt a deep sense of guilt.

The Huangquan City Lord offered no explanation, knowing her father’s situation couldn’t remain hidden forever, yet never expecting it to be uncovered tonight.

”I suppose the Huangquan City Lord had her reasons. The Old City Lord is ill. Before dealing with this, let me treat your wounds first, Xiaochun. The Old City Lord’s illness can’t be delayed any longer—it must be treated.”

Ye Lingyue looked compassionately at the master and servant, both in tears.

”No, my father’s illness is incurable, and his situation mustn’t spread.”

As soon as Ye Lingyue spoke, the Huangquan City Lord’s gaze turned cold, decisively rejecting her suggestion.
