Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2819: Chapter 2820: Unexpected

Nowadays, Ye Luo naturally cannot descend from the side, but can only find a way from below!

After all, this is a solitary vein, completely the kind that extends straight up and down. Since the side won’t work, they can only delve underground!

Regardless of how deep the surface is, with Ling’er present, the two of them can handle it, something even those Martial Emperor Realm experts can’t achieve.

Subsequently, the two ventured underground. This time, it’s entirely Ling’er leading Ye Luo, contrasting greatly with before.

Ling’er moves swiftly underground. Initially, they could see many cultivators digging tunnels; however, as they delved deeper, they gradually couldn’t see any cultivators. After choosing a point, they headed toward the vein.

Although this is a solitary vein, the Spiritual Energy emanating from it seems even stronger than the previous superb vein.

It appears that this solitary vein is extraordinary, or else the Divine Weapon would not have rooted here.

Suddenly, the remains of that Divine Weapon in his Dantian began to tremble violently. Though the Divine Weapon remains lack consciousness, they contain the ancient War God’s blood essence, and Ye Luo couldn’t determine if there was any consciousness present! This is his concern, as even a wisp of Divine Sense from the ancient War God is enough to push him into a dangerous predicament.

However, he also understood that the remains of the Divine Weapon must have sensed one another.

The two leaped to enter the Spirit Vein. Of course, they were now beneath the remains of the Divine Weapon, having delved underground to unknown depths. To retrieve the remains, they needed to ascend along the vein.

Within this vein, Ling’er was even more at home; it could be said that this was entirely her domain.

Moreover, along the way, she didn’t forget to absorb the Spiritual Energy within the solitary vein, knowing that once the Divine Weapon remains were taken, the Spiritual Energy would be wasted.

However, as the two moved quickly upward, they suddenly saw a cultivator! An elder, evidently heading in the same direction. Unlike Ye Luo and Ling’er, the elder hadn’t delved as deeply underground, and he found it quite difficult to progress in this vein, relying on his Magic Artifact and Mana to encase his body to slow his advance.

Immediately, Ye Luo recognized who he was! It turned out to be the ancestor of the Dihuang Sect! Only this time, wisps of Demonic Qi permeated his body, and his cultivation had advanced further. But Ye Luo sensed he hadn’t truly entered the Martial Emperor Realm, he had merely prematurely acquired its abilities, likely due to associations with the Demon Race.

Even now, Ye Luo couldn’t determine if this ancestor was a part of the Demon Race or had any connections to them, because faint strands of Demonic Qi indeed emanated from his body.

Clearly, he also noticed Ye Luo and Ling’er. The expression on his face was naturally one of great shock. He was familiar with Ye Luo’s Strength, but Ling’er was a complete surprise — she was genuinely at the Martial Emperor Realm! How could such a powerful ally be by Ye Luo’s side!

If it were just Ye Luo alone, the ancestor had confidence Ye Luo couldn’t deal with him, but with Ling’er present, he could only avoid them.

However, now it was clearly unavoidable.

”Ye Luo, I know you’re also after the remains of the Divine Weapon. But that ancient Divine Weapon should be acquired by the fated one, and there are numerous strong forces around, not to mention above us!” the ancestor promptly said.

He was afraid Ye Luo would take action against him.

Ye Luo naturally understood this; even if the elder was truly of the Demon Race, what did it matter to him? Ye Luo himself also had a unique relationship with the Demon Race.

As the ancestor said, taking action now would be unwise.

”Fine, we’ll rely on our capabilities to claim it!”

Ye Luo nodded, then Ling’er quickly ascended, leaving the ancestor far behind in an instant.

The ancestor stared in shock; even a Martial Emperor Realm expert couldn’t achieve such speed!

”This kid indeed possesses Great Fortune, to have met such an extraordinary woman. Looks like the chance to acquire the Divine Weapon remains this time is slim! Better report this to the Demon God’s Hall soon!” Upon thinking this, he was no longer eager to proceed, but sat down to activate a secret technique; very soon, Demonic Qi enveloped his body.

Meanwhile, Ye Luo and Linger’s speed began to slow. Initially, Ye Luo thought that many cultivators must have had the same idea, but due to the underground factor, few actually implemented it!

But his assumption was completely wrong. Now, in front of him were at least ten strong fighters, and alongside them above were many more! This indicated they had similar plans!

However, these people weren’t targeting Ye Luo but were warily guarding against each other. Though there were many underground cultivators, they were far fewer compared to those on the surface.

”Everyone, let’s rely on our abilities to obtain the Divine Weapon. Fighting here is meaningless; with cultivators surrounding the remains from all sides, we must act swiftly!” suddenly an old man shouted, and immediately, the surrounding cultivators nodded.

Honestly, at this critical point, no one wanted to engage in mutual slaughter. Even so, any fighting should wait until the valuable treasure emerges.

Yet Ye Luo’s expression turned grim; with so many strong fighters, the chances of acquiring the Divine Weapon remains became slimmer. He truly missed when he acquired the first piece; back then, he was alone with no competition.

However, that was just a matter of fortuitous coincidence; without Ling’er, he wouldn’t have found that piece.

But now, Ye Luo still holds an advantage. Those strong fighters face significant underground challenges, whereas with Ling’er, Ye Luo moved much more nimbly underground.

Naturally, this also attracted attention from those strong fighters, especially Ling’er being a Martial Emperor Realm cultivator. Most of these fighters were at most at half-step Martial Emperor Realm, though hidden capabilities couldn’t be ruled out. Yet, Ye Luo and Linger’s combo was formidable.

Moreover, no few strong fighters recognized Ye Luo. Given the rise of Wudang Sect, his reputation soared, and many elders focused on him.

However, despite their vigilance, no one dared to make a move against the two.

Soon, Ye Luo and Ling’er reached the rock formation. The rocks below seemed even harder than those on the surface.
