Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2377: Chapter 2378: A Subtle Change of Mindset

The middle-aged man, after learning about the lives of these guards, felt no discomfort whatsoever, as if casually crushing a few ants.

It is evident that here, cultivators’ lives are even more worthless.

At least in the inland, an Earth Martial Realm cultivator can be considered a formidable expert; no sect would casually execute one.

But here, it’s completely different. Ye Luo already knew that the cultivators here are not all from the Sixth Region. In the first three regions, an Earth Martial Realm cultivator is truly not considered a top expert.

This scene greatly shocked the Third Princess nearby.

In the Holy City, cultivators’ lives are not as insignificant as they are now.

”Now that these guards have been punished, let’s talk about you, Captain!”

Upon hearing this, cold sweat dripped down the captain’s forehead. After all, this Emissary works for the Law Enforcers, holding a higher position than the Patrol Envoy. He, as a captain, did not catch their eye at all.

”Sir, look at this!”

With that, he hurriedly handed over a small bottle along with some crude wooden boxes!

The man took it over, directly ignored the wooden boxes, opened the bottle, and his eyes immediately widened.

”How much of this do you have?” the middle-aged man asked directly.

The captain immediately forced a bitter smile, ”Sir, this thing I obtained only by a stroke of luck, just this one bottle!”

The middle-aged man fell silent for a moment. This thing is quite rare in the Holy City.

More importantly, although here is very close to the South Territory, for experts like them, even the entire Sixth Region is not a distant place.

But the Law Enforcers have explicitly restricted, no one can leave this Holy City, not even the Law Enforcers can casually rewind to the Sixth Region!

Such restrictions have existed for a long time, and countless cultivators have challenged them, only to pay the price in blood.

”Fine, this time, I’ll spare your life, but if there’s a next time, I can’t suppress it anymore. Also, those damn bugs have suddenly become rampant for no reason recently, you should better coordinate with the Holy City to dispatch more guards, or else you’ll not only lose your captain position, but eventually, you’ll become the Gold Silk Forest’s fertilizer!”

After speaking, the middle-aged man’s figure flickered and vanished from where he stood.

As for the others, the middle-aged man didn’t even glance at them, completely disdainful!

Ye Luo didn’t feel anything, this guy is just making a show of might, without the halo from the Law Enforcers, he probably wouldn’t even match a Patrol Envoy.

Of course, his cultivation is remarkable too, at least having reached an ancestor-level cultivation.

Seeing the middle-aged man leave, the captain wiped the sweat off his forehead, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he turned his head and discovered Ye Luo and the Third Princess! Instantly, a wave of anger surged in his heart.

These two fellows are actually mocking him!

The Third Princess is beyond him to provoke, but what does this Ye Luo count for!

Moreover, what puzzled him more was, clearly Ye Luo’s area is the largest, and the bugs must pass through there every time, yet this time, not a single bug appeared in this area? This is completely illogical!

Connecting to how Ye Luo was able to bring out treasures like Essence of the Spirit Pond earlier, the captain immediately concluded there must be something wrong with Ye Luo.

”Come over here!” the captain beckoned to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo smiled, knowing exactly what the captain was thinking.

But he didn’t even take that middle-aged man seriously, let alone a mere captain.

Thus, Ye Luo swaggered over.

”Have you considered what I said to you before?” he suddenly asked.

Something before? This somewhat puzzled Ye Luo, though his memory is exceptionally sharp now, but he hadn’t heard what the captain said earlier!

”What did you say before?”

Upon hearing Ye Luo’s retort, the captain almost jumped up in anger. He, being a captain, usually had other team members butter up to him, yet this boy dared to oppose him, completely disregarding him.

If it weren’t for Ye Luo having given him Essence of the Spirit Pond before, he would’ve acted against him long ago!

Even at this moment, the captain felt that Ye Luo still had the Spirit Pond’s essence with him.

”Kid, I’ve told you, if you give me another bottle of that elixir, I’ll make things very comfortable for you, but if you can’t provide it, hmph hmph!” His expression now turned exceedingly sinister.

”You mean that, but I really don’t have any left!” Ye Luo said with a smile, ”Besides, I’m living quite well now!”

He just deliberately provoked this captain, after all, the captain is insignificant, hardly qualified to threaten Ye Luo.

”Fine, you living well, is it? I’ll make sure you live even better!”

Having said that, the furious captain walked away.

Ye Luo shrugged, showing no change in expression.

”Young Master, he’s sure to harm you, be careful!” The Third Princess reminded him from the side.

Ye Luo slightly paused, had this girl even noticed?

Later, Ye Luo returned to his own area. After losing so many guards earlier, Ye Luo particularly watched for changes in the Transmission Array.

Before long, several young men were teleported up, exactly matching the number of guards crushed to death by the middle-aged man earlier!

Sure enough, the number of guards always maintained this count; losses were immediately replenished, indicating that guards falling here must truly be numerous!

Afterward, the Third Princess continued cultivation of the body training technique. After all, she couldn’t always rely on Ye Luo’s healing principles to survive, but her progress was quite swift. Just yesterday, her physical body surprisingly strengthened, although still unable to withstand the harsh environment, enough to surprise Ye Luo.

Originally, he thought the girl’s talent wasn’t particularly good, but now it seems her talent is decent!

If that’s the case, she just needs to put in some effort, and she’s bound to cultivate this technique to a small degree.

Gradually, a trace of irritable emotion emerged in Ye Luo’s heart. He immediately became suspicious; could it be that the Death Qi had invaded his body?

After checking thoroughly, it was definitely not the case! Not to mention that the Death Qi near the Gold Silk Forest had diminished significantly, even if it persisted, his body was always enveloped by the Thunder Principle, leaving no chance for the Death Qi.
