Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Various Forces Converge

”Merely the strength of the ninth level of the Saint Realm, and you dare to be arrogant in front of me, it seems you truly haven’t understood your own identity. Since that’s the case, let me help you get a clear view of where you stand.”

Ximen Tian said indifferently, and with a swift movement, he charged straight towards Ye Luo.

Ye Luo’s eyes narrowed, and just as he was about to strike back, a figure abruptly appeared in front of him. With one swing of her hand, she blocked Ximen Tian’s attack, causing both their bodies to retreat repeatedly. The person who intervened was none other than Yan Ruxue.

”What’s the meaning of this, Ruxue beauty?”

Ximen Tian’s gaze was fixed on Yan Ruxue as he spoke.

”Ruo Bing is my junior sister; I won’t allow anyone to harbor any ill intentions towards her. Ximen Young Master, you’re well-known for being flirtatious, but please find someone else and do not set your sights on my junior sister, otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Yan Ruxue said with a cold expression.

”That’s right, Ximen Tian, you big hooligan, you’re always trying to seduce beauties, and now you even dare to target my junior sister.”

Tang Bao’er also glared at Ximen Tian with a look of discontent.

”Come back, Tian’er!”

At this moment, the Family Head of the Ximen Family, Ximen Yu, spoke again with a grave voice.

Ximen Tian’s expression turned icy, his eyes flashing with a malevolent look as he glanced at Ye Luo before returning to Ximen Yu’s side.

”Palace Master Lan, please forgive my son’s rudeness,” Ximen Tian said lightly.

”Everyone has arrived, I see!”

A deep voice sounded, and then the people of the Dao Sect arrived at the scene, led by none other than Ba Tiandao, the Sect Master of the Dao Sect whom Ye Luo had previously encountered at Snow Mountain.

He wore a black robe, his face dark and solemn with a pair of tiger-like eyes gleaming brightly, exuding an extremely overbearing aura. He walked with the majesty of a dragon and fierceness of a tiger, making grand gestures.

Behind Ba Tiandao followed five young men with extraordinary demeanors. Among them, four exuded a sharp and cutting-edge presence, like unsheathed precious blades.

One among them wore a black long shirt, sporting a short haircut, his gaze deep, emitting no aura whatsoever, appearing just like an ordinary person. However, his strength had already reached the third level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

”Sect Master Ba is also here; it’s been a long time—what a pleasure to meet!”

Ximen Yu greeted Ba Tiandao with a smile on his face.

”Family Head Ximen is still as handsome as ever, and your charm has not faded a bit!”

Ba Tiandao replied with a hearty laugh.

”It’s you, boy!”

However, at this moment, a furious shout suddenly rang out. An elder in a black robe from behind Ba Tiandao fixed his gaze on Ye Luo, with killing intent flashing in his eyes, filled with deep anger.

He was Hu Tian, the Third Elder of the Dao Sect, who had previously been defeated by Long Yuan at the Jiu Hua Sect after Ye Luo had crippled his disciple Qiao Tianyu’s Dantian. He did not expect to encounter Ye Luo again today.

”Third Elder, who is this?”

Ba Tiandao’s gaze turned towards Ye Luo with a hint of confusion.

”Sect Master, this is the kid who crippled Tianyu’s Dantian,” Hu Tian said with a cold countenance, his gaze on Ye Luo was like that of a hostile eagle.

”So it’s this boy who crippled Tianyu’s Dantian?”

Ba Tiandao’s eyes hardened as he stared at Ye Luo. A terrifying glint flashed through his gaze, carrying a sharp and deadly aura.

”Was it this kid who crippled Qiao Tianyu’s Dantian?”

The people present were surprised by Ba Tiandao’s words, their eyes flashing with astonishment. As one of the Dao Sect’s top five talents of the younger generation, the news of Qiao Tianyu’s Dantian being crippled at the Jiu Hua Sect had shocked the entire Hidden Sect.

All the major powers had learned of the incident, and it had caused an uproar within the Dao Sect at the time. However, for some reason, the event was later suppressed, and the identity of the person who had crippled Qiao Tianyu’s Dantian remained unknown. Nobody expected that person to be this young man who was only at the ninth level of the Saint Realm.

”How could he be a match for Tianyu with just the strength of the ninth level of the Saint Realm?”

Ba Tiandao’s gaze flickered with disbelief as he looked at Ye Luo.

”Sect Master, don’t be fooled by his low realm. His strength is not simple at all; he has formidable combat power,” said Hu Tian with a cold expression, his eyes filled with sharp, lethal intent as he looked at Ye Luo.

Ba Tiandao took a deep look at Ye Luo, said nothing, and showed no intention of taking action.

All this was because of Long Yuan, who had effortlessly defeated Hu Tian back then. Ba Tiandao was well aware of Hu Tian’s strength and knew that even he wouldn’t have been able to defeat him so easily.

Yet that mysterious elder had done it, clearly possessing terrifying strength. With such a powerful backer, even if Ba Tiandao wanted to make a move against Ye Luo, he wouldn’t, as offending such a superpower was not worth the cost. This was why the Dao Sect had suppressed the matter in the first place.

Subsequently, top Hidden Sect powers such as the Jiu Hua Sect, Elixir Sect, and Poison Sect all appeared, followed by the Pavilion Master Yi Tian of the Tian Ji Pavilion, along with two branch pavilion masters. Among them were several talented disciples of Tian Ji Pavilion, including Ji Lingtian.

”This guy has actually improved his strength so quickly!”

Ye Luo was surprised to see that Ji Lingtian had already broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm.

Like they had taken some kind of enhancement, these guys were improving their strength so quickly while he was still struggling at the ninth level of the Saint Realm. It was indeed somewhat embarrassing.

Ji Lingtian’s eyes were filled with a terrifying coldness as he watched Ye Luo, his face frosty and a cold murderous intent emanating from him.

”Pavilion Master, he is the one with the Nine Yang Physique!”

Standing next to Yi Tian, the Pavilion Master of Tian Ji Pavilion, Guan Bin, said coldly as he looked at Ye Luo.

”Indeed exceptional. Though merely at the ninth level of the Saint Realm, it’s said that his combat power is formidable. It seems another Sheng Tianyang is about to emerge,” said Yi Tian with a thoughtful look, speaking in a grave tone.

”Then, Pavilion Master, should we...”

Guan Bin wanted to say more, but Yi Tian stopped him.

Later, disciples of the Mount Tai Sect led people from all the major powers to their respective quarters to rest as the Green List competition was set to start tomorrow.

Ye Luo and his companions also arrived at a building on a nearby mountain peak and chose their rooms.

Upon entering the room, Ye Luo activated the Clairvoyant Eye, instantly enveloping the entire Mount Tai Sect within its scope.

The Mount Tai Sect’s strength was formidable, with the strongest expert having reached the sixth level of the Controlling Qi Realm. There were also six or seven other Controlling Qi Realm masters, all above the second level, making their strength much greater than that of the Nalan Family.

After inspecting the area, Ye Luo retracted the Clairvoyant Eye and rested in his room.

In another building, Ximen Tian’s eyes gleamed with a cold and sinister light.

”Damn it, the woman I, Ximen Tian, set my sights on must be mine.”

A teasing cold smile appeared on Ximen Tian’s lips.
