Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2737: Chapter 2738: The Sect Master’s Ambition

”A few little brats, this place is the territory of the Fengtian Sect. Our founding ancestor was a life-and-death ally with the ancestor of the Fengtian Sect. Now that the Fengtian Sect has encountered such a matter, we naturally have to step forward!” an elder said slowly.

Clearly, the realms of Qiong Yao and the others were not even worth a glance in this elder’s eyes. What they truly cared about was Ye Luo.

After all, a Martial King Realm expert is no trivial matter!

”The Sect Leader is in seclusion, we cannot make decisions on this matter, we need to wait for our Sect Leader to come out of seclusion!” Qiong Yao immediately said.

For now, they could only delay as much time as possible.

”Hmph, what arrogance, just a few ignorant juniors, and yet they dare to make us wait? Since he hasn’t come out, we will go and drag him out ourselves. I would like to see what skills he truly possesses!” another middle-aged man said disdainfully.

This middle-aged man’s cultivation was only slightly lower than the elder’s, but he was at least at the Fifth Level of the Martial King Realm, making him a supreme expert even in the third faction.

Hearing these words, people around nodded in agreement.

But the expressions of Qiong Yao and Xiao Wu turned ugly. They were only in the Heavenly Martial Realm, unable to resist even this middle-aged man, let alone the four or five Martial King Realm experts eyeing them fearfully!

”Thank you, esteemed seniors, for upholding justice for our Fengtian Sect. As the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect, I am ashamed to meet you, as even the dojo has been occupied!” an old man suddenly came speeding from a distance, and even before he steadied himself, he spoke tearfully.

”No need to say more, Sect Master, we already understand your situation. It’s not your fault; if blame is due, it’s on fate. Moreover, with your talent, this is merely a trial for you; you might still recover in the future!” the elder said.

In reality, the elder looked younger than the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect, but in the world of cultivators, age and appearances had little connection. As one’s realm increases, with the growth of physical strength, appearances often tend to become youthful.

However, cultivators hardly care about appearances, and this is often true for female cultivators as well.

”Indeed, Fengtian Sect is branches of the same tree with our other sects, sharing glory and loss. We cannot stand by idly!” the middle-aged man agreed.

Hearing this, the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect bowed again to the few people.

”By the way, esteemed seniors, I heard that young man has entered that place, maybe it’s nothing to worry about!” the Sect Master suddenly said.

This statement caused the expressions of the esteemed seniors to change somewhat.

”Are you saying he’s entered there? Doesn’t it mean he’s already perished?” the elder asked with a frown.

The esteemed seniors have lived longer than the Sect Master, and the ancient space is no secret to them.

”Most likely, but his physical body is indeed formidable, maybe it will persist. Coincidentally, I am plagued by a severe illness, so I request your esteemed help!” he said respectfully.

However, the expressions of the esteemed seniors were complex.

They clearly understood what that space was and what the Sect Master intended to do. For them, it was an enormous risk.

”Naturally, I wouldn’t expect your assistance for free. This is merely a meeting gift, and once the matter is accomplished, I’d offer ten times the reward!” the Sect Master said, throwing several small bottles over.

Coincidentally, each esteemed senior received one. These were transparent little bottles, inside which a fierce power raged, seemingly on the verge of breaking out.

”This is... the power of fire-type rules!”

At once, the esteemed seniors exclaimed in surprise. Of course, ordinary fire-type rules wouldn’t be remarkable, but this was the purest of fire-type rules, a trace from the Ancient Times.

Still, a single trace wasn’t enough to yield great benefits!

However, the Sect Master had mentioned offering tenfold reward upon success, which would be more than sufficient for them to comprehend the Fire Origin, though only to comprehend!

They understood this, but this was so precious that it was worth the risk. Besides, since the Fengtian Sect was able to produce such a treasure, it indicated there was more to be gained, hence some had already formed ulterior motives; the talk of unity was merely rhetoric.

”Very well, in that case, we will lend you a hand, but surely you have some preparation in place!” the elder nodded.

”Naturally!” the Sect Master smiled, ”Tonight is the full moon, when the space opens. However, we must return half an incense earlier, or we’ll all perish in it!” the Sect Master said gravely.

”Very well!”

The eyes of the esteemed seniors sparkled. That space is a Forbidden Land of the Fengtian Sect, filled with dangers and opportunities alike, but only the top ranks of Fengtian Sect know how to enter and exit!

This tempted many influential figures, though none dared to take the risk. This time, the esteemed seniors agreed to the Sect Master’s scheme mainly for this reason.

They wanted to enter and seek fortune!

”And these little brats?” the Sect Master probed.

”Hmph, just a few brats. Control them first, decisions can be made post-success!” the elder said, and with a wave at Qiong Yao and the others, and a surging force restrained their movements.

Just like that, they were immobilized as if fixed in place.

”Haha, thank you, esteemed seniors, we shall move to the rear mountain and await the night!” the Sect Master laughed.

This time, even though the Sect had disclosed its secrets, it was the last chance for him. Should he not obtain Ye Luo’s body, his life span would end, bringing his lifetime to a close.

Seeing Qiong Yao and the others subdued, the miners dared not breathe too loudly, as they had just stepped into the world of cultivators. To them, a Martial King Realm expert was a living immortal, a mere glance could take their lives.

Soon, the esteemed seniors followed the Sect Master to the rear mountain, and Qiong Yao and the others were brought along, but at that time, the esteemed seniors were focused on the rear mountain, hardly concerning themselves with them.
