Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1594: Chapter 654: A Fang Venerate Appears Out of Nowhere

The Great Divine Power Realm expert referred to as Lord Song frowned and pulled Tang Tianqi back.

”What’s the big deal? It’s just the peak of the Small Divine Power Realm. My second brother, he can...”

Tang Tianqi wanted to say something else but was silenced by a warning glare from Lord Song.

”Everyone, sorry for keeping you waiting.”

As he spoke, the Wanxiang City Lord came out.

Behind him, there were three people, one of whom was wearing an Alchemist Robe, indicating that he was actually a Fang Venerate.

For some reason, the Wanxiang City Lord’s face was somewhat displeased, as if troubled by something.

”City Lord.”

The crowd stood and greeted him.

The Wanxiang City Lord nodded, signaling everyone to dispense with formalities.

”City Lord, the Huangquan team is also participating in this special mission. Did you make a mistake? They are just a Fourth-Tier team; how are they qualified to participate in such an important mission?”

Without waiting for the Wanxiang City Lord to speak, Tang Tianqi immediately questioned.

The Wanxiang City Lord was already in a foul mood, and being questioned by a junior like Tang Tianqi made him even more displeased. He thought to himself, the Tang Ancestor really picked the wrong person to be the team leader of the Tang Family’s Representative Team this time.

Fortunately, it was a second-line team. If the first-line team leader Tang Lei were like this, the Tang Family might as well not participate in the Jiu Provinces Hunting.

At this time, the young man behind the Wanxiang City Lord spoke up.

”This must be Miss Tang, indeed quick and articulate. I am Nian Xiaoxie, a disciple of the Jiu Provinces Alliance’s chief Fang Venerate Nian Wu, sent by my master to assist the Wanxiang City Lord. Like you, I believe this mission is very important and cannot allow unqualified participants to mix in.”

After speaking, Nian Xiaoxie pointedly glanced at Ye Lingyue and the others.

Someone sent by the Jiu Provinces Alliance?

Ye Lingyue was a bit surprised. Earlier, the Wanxiang City Lord only mentioned that five representative teams were selected to join the escort task. How did Nian Xiaoxie suddenly appear?

Ye Lingyue looked towards the Wanxiang City Lord with a questioning gaze.

The Wanxiang City Lord smiled wryly; he had only learned last night that Nian Wu had actually sent his disciple to Wanxiang City, claiming it was to help transport the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

As two major confidants under the Jiu Provinces Alliance Leader, the Wanxiang City Lord and Nian Wu Venerate have never gotten along well.

Nian Wu relies on his Fang Venerate status, controlling most of the Jiu Provinces Alliance’s elixir pills and spiritual artifacts refining, always excluding the Wanxiang City Lord.

So, the Wanxiang City Lord left the Jiu Provinces Alliance for Wanxiang City.

The two had been at peace until now.

Unexpectedly, the Wanxiang City Lord obtained the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, making a significant achievement.

Nian Wu Venerate was jealous and didn’t want the Wanxiang City Lord to hog the credit. Therefore, under the guise of verifying the Senluo Ghost Fruit King’s authenticity, he ordered his disciple, Nian Xiaoxie, to bring an independent team here.

Once Nian Xiaoxie arrived at Wanxiang City and confirmed the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, he forcefully demanded to join the escort team.

This disrupted the Wanxiang City Lord’s earlier plans.

The Wanxiang City Lord had intended to introduce Nian Xiaoxie to the other representatives, then reject him on the grounds that there were enough people.

Little did he expect Tang Tianqi to suddenly accuse the Huangquan team of being unqualified.

”So, you are the skilled disciple of Nian Wu Venerate. I have heard you are also a Void Cauldron Venerate, possessing the Lifebound Red Scorpion Fire. Truly admirable. With Brother Nian’s help, this mission will surely be a success.”

Third Young Master Jin, being aligned with Tang Tianqi, stood up and exchanged pleasantries with Nian Xiaoxie.

The other two representative teams, wary of Nian Wu Venerate’s reputation, also stepped forward to chat, ignoring the Huangquan team members entirely, obviously excluding them.

Seeing this, the Wanxiang City Lord felt embarrassed and coughed a few times.

”Everyone, the teams for this mission have already been chosen by me, including the Huangquan team. If Nephew Nian also wishes to participate, perhaps we could add an extra team, but the merit points will have to be divided among six teams.”

”City Lord, that may not be appropriate. This escort is of great importance; the more people, the less favorable it is. Around fifty people is just right; adding more irrelevant people could cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, I think it should remain at five teams. Those who are not strong enough should have the self-awareness to withdraw early.”

Surprisingly, Nian Xiaoxie seized the opportunity, outright rejecting the Wanxiang City Lord’s proposal.

Twenty thousand merit points were to be shared, and the other representative teams were displeased, all stating that five teams were sufficient.

”According to your view, a team should voluntarily withdraw?”

The Wanxiang City Lord was already quite displeased; Nian Xiaoxie and his master were both unreasonable. Did they really think Wanxiang City was the Jiu Provinces Main Camp, letting the master and disciple control everything?

”Exactly. I believe the ones who should withdraw are them.”

Nian Xiaoxie and the leaders of the other four teams all looked towards Ye Lingyue’s group.

”Us? This Jiu Provinces Main Camp’s Nian Venerate, do you know the basic rule of being human, respecting the elderly and caring for the young, and the basic principle of first come, first served? This task was issued by the City Lord, not up to an outsider like you to meddle. A few days ago, the City Lord had already decided to let us participate in this escort task. May I ask, where were you a few days ago?”

Ye Lingyue sneered.

A few days ago, the Wanxiang City Lord had already designated the Huangquan team for transporting the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, a fact.

The Wanxiang City Lord did not deny it.

Nian Xiaoxie was rendered speechless.

At the Jiu Provinces Main Camp, relying on his master’s status, he had always been supported and hadn’t been challenged like this before.

Besides, it’s already obvious that the opposition wasn’t even at the Small Divine Power Realm.

”Quite sharp-tongued. If your abilities matched your mouth, you’d be enough for this mission. Unfortunately, your strength is too weak. For a team, the most crucial part is the leader. Besides your two teammates, you are a useless individual without the Power of Reincarnation. How do you qualify to participate in this mission?”

”To deal with someone like you, even without the Power of Reincarnation, I am more than capable.”

Ye Lingyue retorted and released part of her spiritual power.

”You’re also an Alchemist? Do you possess a Lifebound Fire?”

Nian Xiaoxie was initially surprised but after a closer look at Ye Lingyue, he saw she had no Void Cauldron Seal on her forehead, and relaxed.

So what if she’s an Alchemist, without even forming a Void Cauldron Seal, she’s at most a ninth-grade Alchemist.

There is no way a ninth-grade Alchemist could compare to him, Nian Xiaoxie.

Nian Xiaoxie intended to show off, and as he turned his palm, a crimson flame arose from his palm.
