The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1545: Scapegoat

Chapter 1545: Scapegoat Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

How could there be such a pill in the Lingwu Continent that could only be taken when one was in a state of certain death?

However, his divine soul eventually dissipated, filled with unwillingness and pain.

Old Beggar was dead!

…

Ye Chen panted slightly. “Master didn’t lie to me. The power of this pill is too terrifying, but it’s a pity that there’s only one.”

“Also, it seems that the power of this medicinal pill has not been fully unleashed.”

Before Ye Chen could finish his sentence, a loud shout was heard.

“Ye Chen!”

“Haha! You’re actually here!”

Butcher laughed loudly in the distance. He waved his blood-stained saber and laughed. “You killed Old Beggar, so you probably don’t have the strength left to stop me!”

“Where are your puppet guardians? Why isn’t there a single one? Where are your artifacts? Why don’t you detonate them? Hahaha!” he taunted Ye Chen with a wild laugh.

This kid was definitely out of trump cards now after dealing with Old Beggar, and it was likely that this kid was on the verge of death himself!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, dozens of rays of light emerged from Ye Chen’s body. Each ray of light was a Primordial Chaos realm puppet guardian, and they rushed toward Butcher and self-destructed the moment they got close.

The aftermath of the explosion spread out in all directions, and Ye Chen used it as a smokescreen as he fled without looking back.

Right now, he had yet to stabilize his cultivation after the breakthrough, so a battle was the last thing he needed.

Since he had killed Old Beggar, it was the best time to leave.

Of course, he had a better choice. For example, he could have tossed out a spacetime artifact for them to fight over so that he could leave safely. However, that was too high a price to pay.

Each spacetime artifact represented the birth of a Creation realm expert. No matter which one of them managed to get their hands on it, it would only mean one additional enemy for him in the future, so it was best not to give it to them.

Boom!

After the explosions and shockwaves ended Butcher was covered in blood as he stared at the endless horizon in front of him. Ye Chen had long disappeared without a trace. He was so angry that his body trembled and he shouted angrily, “Ye Chen, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!”

“You won’t need to. You’ll be dying here today!”

Suddenly, an aged voice rang out. It was the Grand Elder of the Dugu family!

The Grand Elder suddenly made a move, and a sword stained with acquired poison pierced Butcher’s heart. Then, he quickly mobilized his spacetime powers to finish off the heavily injured Butcher!

“You…”

“B*stard, didn’t you want to kill Ye Chen?”

Butcher had yet to finish speaking when his divine soul was directly destroyed by the Grand Elder, and his storage ring was taken as well.

In the distance, when another Creation realm expert saw this scene, he also attacked Herbalist, who was rushing over.

“Butcher, oh Butcher, I didn’t want to kill you, but Ye Chen escaped!”

“The losses have already been incurred, so I have to make up for the losses somehow…” The Grand Elder examined Butcher’s storage ring and smiled sinisterly. “A dozen or so Dao Integration-grade artifacts and a hundred Primordial Chaos-grade artifacts. It’s not bad. At the very least I’m not returning empty-handed.”

He carried Butcher’s corpse as if he was carrying a toy. “I can make a half-step Creation realm puppet guardian out of this corpse too.”

He had lost all the spacetime artifacts stored in the headquarters, as well as those from the auctions. In return, he only got Butcher’s treasures and the corpse. It was a great loss!

Still, it was better than nothing.

The Grand Elder quickly took out some treasures from the storage ring and forcefully suppressed the acquired poison in his body. His eyes revealed a ruthless look as he muttered to himself, “If I slaughter the smaller sects and unaffiliated cultivators, I’ll be able to ease the loss a little more. Besides, I can always use Ye Chen as the scapegoat.”

He had made up her mind to push all the responsibility to Ye Chen!

Bang! Boom!

From the west, the sound of the self-destruction of a divine soul was heard!

A Creation realm expert had killed Herbalist and had obtained all the treasures of this old monster, following the Grand Elder’s example.

That Creation realm expert and Grand Elder exchanged a glance and understood each other’s intentions. Then, they left.

The Grand Elder returned to the chaotic Sky Sword City and summoned the remaining experts of the family with his token. He took a closer look and saw that there were only 15 Dao Integration realm experts left out of the original 40 or so in the headquarters, which made him feel even worse.

Fortunately, the Dugu family had a large territory. There were about a hundred Dao Integration realm experts out and about overseeing the territory. They were weakened, but not to the extent where the other families could take advantage of them.

“Grand Elder, what should we do now?” Dugu Tianyu asked. He was an eighth-level Dao Integration realm expert and he had been lucky enough to avoid many of the explosions. Still, his injuries were not light.

The Grand Elder turned around and took a closer look. The Dao Integration realm experts of the other five major factions had already left. Only a dozen Dao Integration realm experts, and some Primordial Chaos realm and Divine King realm unaffiliated cultivators were still attacking the cultivators and each other in the surroundings.

“Kill all of the unaffiliated cultivators and the troublemakers,” he ordered decisively, “We’ll use their resources to make up for the losses this time!”

“Ah?”

“There are nearly 900,000 of them!”

“Although they are all low-level cultivators, but…” Dugu Tianyu was shocked. Were they going to massacre so many people?

More than a million unaffiliated cultivators had entered the city!

Although a large number of them had been killed by Ye Chen’s Thousand Artifacts Explosion, could it be that they had to kill all of them? How would they explain to the other factions then?

“You’re thinking about what to tell the other forces, right?”

The Grand Supreme Elder revealed an extremely sinister expression. His gaze swept across the law-enforcement team and the entire force of the Dugu family. He said, “Let me ask you. The explosions earlier were caused by Ye Chen, right?”

“Yes, they were!” Dugu Tianyu and the others nodded.

“Well, it just so happens that the explosions killed all of the unaffiliated cultivators. That demon Ye Chen even killed all of the cultivators from the smaller sects!”

Everyone was initially a little confused, but they immediately understood what he meant. They were making Ye Chen the scapegoat for this massacre!
