Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1553: Chapter 613: The Figures on the Arrest Warrant

One evening after the three main teams left Qiyu City.

A man walked through the streets of Qiyu City and stopped outside the Liu Guang Pavilion.

Upon seeing the seal of the City Lord’s Mansion, the man thought he might be seeing things.

”Brother, can you tell me what happened to Liu Guang Pavilion?”

The man stopped a passerby.

”Liu Guang Pavilion was in trouble; it was ordered to be sealed by the Jiu Provinces Alliance. You must be from out of town. If you have nothing to do, you better not get involved with them. The owner of Liu Guang Pavilion, Dongfang Liuli, is an evil alchemist. She escaped, and now everyone associated with Liu Guang Pavilion is wanted. There’s a notice on the bulletin board in the city.”

The passerby glanced cautiously at the young man, noting he looked unfamiliar and didn’t seem to be a demon hunter, so he casually warned him.

Huangquan Team?

The man’s eyes flickered, and after thanking him, he went to the bulletin board.

On the board was a black arrest warrant with Gongsun Zhi’s name prominently on it.

Fortunately, it only had the name, no image.

After glancing at the image, the young man sighed in relief but couldn’t help nervously touching a nondescript piece of fragment hidden in his coat.

Upon closer inspection, the fragment wasn’t complete.

Gongsun Zhi’s eyes held a stormy rage.

Liu Guang Pavilion got sealed?

”Brother, dare I ask, what happened to the belongings of Liu Guang Pavilion after it was sealed?”

Gongsun Zhi inquired to a city guard next to the bulletin board.

”Everything was confiscated by the City Lord’s Mansion.”

The city guard responded nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhi hurried away.

The night was deep, and a figure sneaked out of the City Lord’s Mansion.

”There’s no Cauldron Base Fragment... Damn it, could it have fallen into someone else’s hands?”

Gongsun Zhi’s eyes were red. He and Dongfang Liuli had escaped from the Divine Realm, stranded with nowhere to go, also fearing that the other might harbor intentions to kill him, so they split the Cauldron Base Fragment in two.

Gongsun Zhi kept in contact with Dongfang Liuli, hoping to find a chance to get the remaining half from her, but Dongfang Liuli wasn’t easy to handle, and he never got the opportunity.

The city folks said that Dongfang Liuli had disappeared earlier.

But Gongsun Zhi knew well that Dongfang Liuli must have died.

When they left the Divine Realm, the siblings had spiritual imprints that only each other could perceive, and now that spiritual imprint had vanished.

Dongfang Liuli is dead; Gongsun Zhi didn’t feel much sorrow, but more fury because there was no cauldron piece among the confiscated items from the City Lord’s Mansion, and the thought that the Cauldron Base Fragment might be in someone else’s hands made him anxious.

At this moment, Gongsun Zhi happened to pass by the bulletin board again.

Next to the arrest warrant for the Liu Guang Pavilion remnants was a red bulletin.

In the bulletin board of Ancients Nine Provinces, most notices are of three kinds.

Black bulletin: Arrest notice.

Red bulletin: Reward notice.

Yellow bulletin: Mission notice.

Right next to Gongsun Zhi’s arrest warrant was a red bulletin, listing the teams that successfully advanced to the core area in Qiyu City’s recent assessment.

The prominent red bulletin listed the names of three teams.

Leading the list was a team called the Huangquan Team.

Huangquan Team?

Gongsun Zhi was taken aback.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Isn’t this the same team that left Fang Ah County earlier, the one Elder Jing wanted him to pursue before?

Gongsun Zhi was previously assisting Elder Jing in resolving the Leak Essence Fragrance and was the young alchemist assigned for it.

Both Gongsun Zhi and Dongfang Liuli were ambitious people, wandering across continents after leaving the Divine Realm.

They eventually arrived in Ancients Nine Provinces, believing it to be the place closest to the Divine Realm in the Human Realm and the fastest place to enhance their power and reach godhood.

They settled in Qiyu City, using their skills and the Cauldron Base Fragment to establish themselves.

But Gongsun Zhi had bigger aspirations; he wasn’t content with just getting by in Qiyu City and decided to infiltrate the Jiu Provinces Alliance.

So he left Dongfang Liuli to control Qiyu City.

Dongfang Liuli utilized the Half-Beast Warriors and colluded with some city lords of the Jiu Provinces Alliance.

Meanwhile, Gongsun Zhi discovered that one of the Nine Great Elders of the Jiu Provinces Alliance, Elder Jing, was incompetent.

Using his medical skills, Gongsun Zhi ingratiated himself with Elder Jing, initially planning to slowly control him through a chronic poison.

But then the Leak Essence Fragrance incident arose.

It happened coincidentally that Ye Lingyue’s action disrupted the chronic poison on Elder Jing, rendering all Gongsun Zhi’s previous efforts futile.

He would need at least another six months to a year to reapply the poison.

Gongsun Zhi also realized that his target might possess the complete Five Poison Treasure Record and lost patience waiting with Elder Jing.

At the time, he volunteered to capture the successor of Jade Hand Poison Master within the Huangquan Team.

Because the copy of the Five Poison Treasure Record in Gongsun Zhi’s possession was just a fragment he once bought at a high price in a city of the Ancients Nine Provinces.

He purchased it because he knew the Jade Hand Poison Master was also the holder of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron.

Her poison techniques were feared even by his mentor back in the Divine Realm.

Gongsun Zhi hoped to find clues about other Jiu Provinces Cauldron Fragments in the incomplete record.

Unfortunately, a fragment was just a fragment, offering no clues.

He suspected that whoever possessed the complete Five Poison Treasure Record might also have clues to the Jiu Provinces Cauldron Fragments.

This fueled his determination to pursue the Huangquan Team at all costs.

However, halfway through the mission, Elder Jing caught up with him, saying the responsibility for the Huangquan Team was no longer being pursued, and the thousand elites were withdrawn.

Despite repeated inquiries, Elder Jing remained tight-lipped about the reason, insisting on silence.

Left with no choice, Gongsun Zhi followed Elder Jing back at first.

During the following months, Elder Jing ordered him to nurse his health. When Gongsun Zhi couldn’t wait any longer, he took an excuse, resigned from his position as a Guest Elder, and escaped.

He intended to inform Dongfang Liuli of his findings, only to discover she had died first, and even the Cauldron Base Fragment was missing.

”My junior sister’s power isn’t weak, and with that Black Cauldron Breath to aid her, how could she be easily killed? Unless... unless the opponent also had a fragment! Could it be that the person from the Huangquan Team, not only possessing the complete Five Poison Treasure Record but also other Jiu Provinces Cauldron Fragments? It must be why that person could kill my junior sister.”

As Gongsun Zhi pondered, he suddenly realized this.

In light of this, he resolved to pursue the Huangquan Team at any cost, to seize those two treasures from that person’s hands.
