Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1239: Chapter 299: The Demon King Appears?

A small beast chaos, not to mention a few Patrol Envoys from the Jiu Provinces Alliance, even if dozens more came, they would be instantly torn to pieces.

But how could there be so many demon beasts in this area?

The head and a few Patrol Envoys were quite frightened. They looked around, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

It turned out, earlier they had been focused only on pursuing Little Jiu Nian and hadn’t realized they had deviated from the main path through a forked trail, ending up in a desolate region.

The secret route chosen by the Heroic Society deviated from the major regions of the Ancient Nine Provinces, opting for the edge near the Central Plains.

This area was already very close to the Central Plains.

Additionally, the fork in the path turned out to be a shortcut into the Central Plains.

But after all, this was still the periphery of the Central Plains, how could so many demon beasts suddenly congregate here, and all different species?

These demon beasts, contrary to usual behavior, completely ignored the wounded, bleeding Little Jiu Nian.

All were glaring fiercely, closing in on the people of Jiu Provinces Alliance.

The head suddenly shivered, looking towards the eerie dragon-shaped pattern on Chi Chi.

Could it be... that it was not a tiger pattern, but a Demon Mark?

Chi Chi’s size remained as small as before.

Only its aura was very different; the earlier tame appearance akin to a little cat was gone without a trace.

A strong, suffocating Demon Energy was spreading around like tidewaters.

”Demon... Demon King Level demon beast!”

A thought that made the head’s heart tremble flashed across his mind. It was said that only a Demon King level, superior to Great Demon level, could use its demonic power to trigger a beast chaos.

But it was too late for the head to realize this.

Amidst the sky-filling beast roars, the demon beasts went into a frenzy, countless beast shadows rushed forward.

Soon, the blood flowing on the ground gathered together, forming glaring streams that stained the desolate land red.

When the last Patrol Envoy from the Jiu Provinces Alliance was also torn apart, Chi Chi let out another roar.

A long-haired black ape emerged from among the demon beasts, followed Chi Chi’s command by carrying Little Jiu Nian on its back, letting out a cheer, as all the demon beasts surrounding Chi Chi headed together into the vast Central Plains interior.

”Right ahead!”

Half an hour after the demon beasts left, a cacophony of footsteps came from behind.

Aguduo, leading Bo Qing and others, rushed over.

This time, due to involving Lan Cai’er, Bo Qing took it very seriously and personally came to this area to support.

He thought everything would go smoothly, but unexpectedly received a distress signal.

When Bo Qing arrived, he happened to see Jin Wu Old Monster, nearly defeated and about to be killed by the Jiu Provinces Alliance, and Bo Qing guessed what had happened from the local situation.

In rage, he wiped out all the Jiu Provinces Alliance members and, along with Jin Wu Old Monster, pursued along the way, rescuing the captured Aguduo.

From Aguduo’s mouth, Bo Qing found out that Lan Cai’er didn’t come, but Lan Cai’er’s son, Lan Jiu Nian, came.

Bo Qing was stunned. Isn’t Lan Jiu Nian Dao Ge’s adopted son? That kid is so young, how did he end up coming to the Ancient Nine Provinces?

Bo Qing immediately turned grim, letting those few members explain what happened. Those few members remembered the letter sent by the Ye Family earlier and quickly handed it over to Bo Qing.

After reading, Bo Qing realized Lan Cai’er couldn’t come due to certain reasons, but Lan Cai’er’s letter never mentioned Little Jiu Nian coming.

The truth was clear; Little Jiu Nian must have sneaked away from the Lan Residence secretly, and hearing his earlier tone, he was obviously resentful of his father abandoning his wife and child, coming a thousand miles to find him.

When Aguduo and others caught up and saw the devastation left by the beast chaos attack, they couldn’t find a single intact corpse, each gasped in shock.

Especially Aguduo, thinking she herself led Little Jiu Nian down this path, she was even more tormented.

”It’s all my fault, Little Jiu Nian, I killed him.”

Aguduo frantically searched for traces of Little Jiu Nian among the severed limbs and remains.

”This is already Central Plains; they probably encountered a beast chaos. But... judging by the scene, there is no child’s corpse here.”

Seeing the mess on the ground, Bo Qing’s heart tightened.

He knew the friendship between Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er, and how Ye Lingyue doted on Little Jiu Nian like her own son. If Little Jiu Nian really suffered due to his negligence, Ling Yue would surely not forgive him.

Luckily, there was no corpse of Little Jiu Nian.

”Here is Little Jiu Nian’s clothing. It seems he was taken by a type of ape-like demon beast.”

Aguduo grabbed a piece of cloth; it was the cloth corner left when Little Jiu Nian was shot by an arrow, and along with the cloth corner, some demon beast hair was also found.

Aguduo, upon discerning, recognized it was left by a Golden Star Demon Ape, a Great Demon-level demon beast.

”From the traces, there must be a few hundred demon beasts, heading in that direction. Chairman Bao, please, let me find Little Jiu Nian.”

After confirming Little Jiu Nian was not dead, Aguduo calmed down instead.

The little guy was in trouble because of her; she must find him no matter what.

”Aguduo, don’t panic first. Your judgment is correct, this is a scene left after a beast chaos. Little Jiu Nian was most likely taken by them, but... did you notice, the footsteps leaving are very orderly, as if it was an organized evacuation.”

Although Bo Qing wasn’t a member of the Hundred Beasts Sect, he had lived through life-and-death experiences in the Ancient Nine Provinces these years and participated in the Wild Hunt earlier, possessing rich Demon Hunter experience.

He has experienced beast chaos.

Typically, after a beast chaos, the footprints on the spot would be very chaotic, but this beast chaos was obviously different.

This can only indicate one thing.

”Chairman Bao, what do you mean by this?”

Confused, Aguduo asked.

”This is not an ordinary beast chaos; it was an organized beast chaos. In other words, earlier there must have been a Demon King level Great Power passing by here. Only a Demon King Level can trigger a beast chaos.”

Bo Qing furrowed his brows.

The presence of a Demon King level, along with hundreds of High-grade demon beasts; given their current numbers and strength, even chasing up would only lead to a dead end.

But what puzzled Bo Qing was, since when did the Central Plains’ periphery show the existence of such tyrannical presence like a Demon King?

Earlier, didn’t several Demon Kings from the Demon World and several noble families from the Ancient Nine Provinces already signed agreements stipulating that Demon Kings, and those above Divine Power Realm from the Ancient Nine Provinces’ highest existences could not participate in ordinary level battles?

”Chairman Bao, what should we do now?”

Both Aguduo and Jin Wu Old Monster were worried about Little Jiu Nian’s safety.

”We have no other choice; we must return to Huangquan City first to inform Ling Yue about the situation.”

Bo Qing sighed, he looked at the Central Plains interior, almost blending seamlessly with the sky and wilderness, his gaze deep.
