The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2715: Chapter 2689: Keeping the Appointment (Sixth Update)

Inside the grand hall, a dead silence prevailed!

Everyone glared at Zhao Gu with immense resentment!

This is an outrage!

The Dragon Suppressing Palace, this is too much!

This is outright forcing Ye Chen’s hand!

Yu Zhenzi could no longer hold back, and the aura around him erupted as he said, ”Go back and tell Bai Yuhuang, if Ye Chen rejects the life-and-death battle, you’ll flatten my Divine Extreme Sect? I, Yu Zhenzi, would love to see if your Dragon Suppressing Palace has the power to make such boasts! If it’s war you want, then it’s war!”

All the elders and Tu Lanxin spoke in unison, ”If it’s war, then it’s war!”

They knew very well that the Divine Extreme Sect’s strength could not match the Dragon Suppressing Palace, but even so, they would rather go to war than let Ye Chen participate in a life-and-death battle with Bai Yuhuang!

As long as Ye Chen was still alive, the Divine Extreme Sect would not be destroyed!

However, Ye Chen smiled lightly at Tu Lanxin, Yu Zhenzi, and the other elders and said, ”Lanxin, Master, elders, I have confidence.”

”Besides, since I was the one who proposed it, I naturally have to honor the agreement.”

”Bai Yuhuang picked a great place; I quite like it.”

After speaking, and ignoring the stunned faces of the crowd trying to stop him, a wave of divine soul energy radiated from the center of his brow, leaving a mark on the war declaration in his hand!

The crowd witnessed this, their pupils trembling violently as their faces turned instantly pale!

It’s over...

It’s all over...

Ye Chen had signed this spiritual contract, and it could no longer be altered...

Zhao Gu, upon seeing this, could no longer restrain himself and burst into laughter, ”Hahahaha, Young Master Ye, truly decisive! Zhao Lei admires you, truly admires you!”

Admires what?

Admires Ye Chen’s stupidity!

He actually agreed to this just like that?

It was so ridiculous it made him want to laugh himself to death!

Ye Chen’s expression turned cold as he threw the war declaration back and said, ”Take this war declaration and get out of my Divine Extreme Sect!”

Zhao Gu caught the war declaration, glanced mockingly at Ye Chen, said nothing more, and turned to walk out of the grand hall.

Though Ye Chen’s command to get out irked him a bit, Zhao Gu knew better than to act rashly in the presence of Tu Lanxin. He had no desire for a fight with the Divine Extreme Sect at the moment...

Just as he was about to leave the door, Zhao Gu suddenly turned around, smiled at Ye Chen and the senior members of the Divine Extreme Sect, and said, ”Oh, I almost forgot to mention.”

”Two days from now, my Dragon Suppressing Palace will hold a grand celebration on Dragon Island to honor my master, Bai Yuhuang, for breaking through! We sincerely invite all of Divine Extreme Sect’s esteemed members to attend, hahahahahaha!”

Without waiting for a reply, Zhao Gu’s figure flickered, breaking through the protection formation once again as he left!

The room fell into silence. Now that Ye Chen had already accepted the life-and-death battle, there was nothing more they could say.

But Ye Chen seemed indifferent. Instead, his eyes glinted with a sharp light, and he let out a cold smile, ”A grand celebration? Interesting.”

Yu Zhenzi frowned and asked, ”Ye Chen, you don’t intend to attend, do you?”

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”Attend? Of course I’ll attend. Not only will I attend, but I’ll prepare a great gift for him!”

...

On Dragon Island, inside the grand hall of the Dragon Suppressing Palace.

Bai Yuhuang sat leisurely on the main seat.

At that moment, a figure flashed in from outside the hall. Zhao Gu stepped in, walked up to Bai Yuhuang, and smiled, ”Master, that brat has already accepted the life-and-death battle!”

After saying this, he respectfully presented the war declaration with both hands.

”Oh?” A trace of delight flickered in Bai Yuhuang’s eyes as he took the war declaration. Sweeping his divine soul across the mark on it, he confirmed it was indeed Ye Chen’s aura and laughed heartily, ”That fool! Just as I expected!”

Zhao Gu’s eyes carried a hint of doubt as he asked, ”Master, I’ve observed that waste. He’s no more than a Disaster Slaying cultivator. Why would Master agree to a life-and-death battle with him, and set it for twenty days later? The strongest in the Divine Extreme Sect appears to be a woman, but even she isn’t much. The rest are complete weaklings. Why not simply crush the Divine Extreme Sect altogether?”

Bai Yuhuang’s gaze flickered slightly, ”Disaster Slaying realm? Zhao Gu, you’re underestimating that boy.”

”What?” Zhao Gu was taken aback. His master, saying he underestimated Ye Chen? A mere Disaster Slaying weakling?

Standing up with hands clasped behind his back, Bai Yuhuang’s eyes grew shadowy as he said, ”That boy is special. His strength cannot be judged by his realm alone. The reason I set the life-and-death battle for twenty days later is because, even though I’ve already broken through, I am not confident I can kill Ye Chen right now!”

”M-Master, you must be joking, right?”

Zhao Gu stammered in disbelief, staring at Bai Yuhuang in utter shock.

His master, Bai Yuhuang, the Seventh Divine Nation’s sole expert tied to the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace’s power, practically a Divine Kingdom Dragon Vein powerhouse, was saying he might not be able to kill Ye Chen?

Such a joke wasn’t amusing at all!

Bai Yuhuang glanced at Zhao Gu and said, ”I just received word that as soon as Ye Chen returned to the Divine Extreme Sect, he defeated Qin Yuming with a single sword strike. Do you have any idea who Qin Yuming is?”

”Qin Yuming!?” Zhao Gu’s face showed shock. ”That Ancient Divine Body genius?”

Bai Yuhuang nodded. ”I’ve researched Qin Yuming. Even if you went all out, you wouldn’t stand a chance of instantly defeating him, right?”

Zhao Gu’s shock transformed into terror...

A single sword strike to defeat Qin Yuming...

Even he wouldn’t be capable of that...

Could it be that Ye Chen’s strength exceeded his own?

But soon, Bai Yuhuang smirked dismissively. ”Although that boy is extraordinarily detestable, there’s no denying his monstrous martial arts talent. However...”

”In twenty days, everything will change! By then, no matter how monstrous he is, he will die by my hands!”

Zhao Gu asked skeptically, ”Master, if Ye Chen is as monstrous as you say, shouldn’t you prevent him from increasing his strength by giving him time?”

Bai Yuhuang let out a sinister laugh, and a glint of malice flickered in his gaze. ”Don’t worry. In twenty days, I guarantee that boy will die at my hands. Do you know that our Dragon Suppressing Palace possesses a True Dragon Divine Fire Pearl inherited from the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace?”

”This True Dragon Divine Fire Pearl has long been regarded merely as a symbol of our palace. The Ancient Immemorial Fire Dragon Soul within the pearl has been dormant for countless years. In fact, I even believed that the dragon soul had already dissipated. Without it, the Divine Fire Pearl was nothing more than an ornament!”

”But! Just a few days ago, the Ancient Immemorial Dragon Soul within the True Dragon Divine Fire Pearl began to awaken!”

”In twenty days, the dragon soul will fully awaken! With this True Dragon Divine Fire Pearl in my possession, my strength will soar several times over! By then, even if Ye Chen is the reincarnation of a demonic god, I will burn him to nihility!”

...

Two days later, on Dragon Island, the atmosphere was festive with music and dance, lanterns and decorations adorning the place, an air of unparalleled celebration.

This secluded island, usually forgotten in the vast sea, had today become a bustling hub for countless guests.

And these guests were no ordinary people either!
