The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2952: Chapter 2926: The Right to Refuse! (Fourth Update)

After completing the Heavenly Dao baptism, Ye Lingtian rushed to Ye Chen’s side at the first opportunity and supported him.

With continuous battles and the severe injuries he had suffered earlier, Ye Chen was at his most exhausted point. Fortunately, Ye Lingtian emerged at this time.

Ye Chen smiled gently, ”It’s nothing, I just need a little rest. Congratulations, Lingtian, you’ve broken through again.”

The Ancestor Ritual was successful, and Ye Lingtian was the biggest beneficiary!

Crucially, an extremely mysterious energy was swirling within Ye Lingtian’s body!

He might even have the power to fight against Ye Niang in her peak state!

This was what Ye Chen hoped to see!

His right-hand man must be strong!

He wondered how Yan Kun was doing!

Elder Yong personally took Yan Kun for trials, showing how much he valued Yan Kun!

Ye Lingtian radiated Desolate Ancient Intent all over and said, ”Guarding the Hall Master is Lingtian’s life mission! Lingtian will become stronger!”

”Whoever dares to harm the Hall Master will have to ask if I, Ye Lingtian, agree!”

Thanks to the insights left on the Reincarnation Star Stone by countless forefathers of the Ye family, and after the baptism of these nomological powers, Ye Lingtian leapt forward, breaking through a few levels!

He even reached the Chaos Nine-layered Heaven!

Such a promotion speed was enough to make all geniuses pale in comparison.

It can be said that in this short time, Ye Lingtian achieved what others would need hundreds of years to accomplish in cultivation.

However, advancing too quickly is not always a good thing at times.

Now, Ye Lingtian has a strong level of cultivation, but he lacks a solid foundation. If he encounters an enemy with exceptionally terrifying cultivation, and gets locked in a protracted battle, he might face issues himself.

”Now that matters here are settled, you need to find a place to properly seclude yourself and consolidate your foundations. A high building rises from the ground, but the foundation underground is the most important.” Ye Chen instructed Ye Lingtian while sitting down in a meditative position to adjust his body.

”Rest assured, Hall Master, I know what I am doing.”

Now, only Ye Sheng and two disciples from Ye Tanzhu’s line were left here. After the constant upheavals during the battle just now, the relationship between Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian no longer needed to be concealed.

”Go put away that Star Stone. Once I’ve adjusted my internal injuries, we’ll return to the Linglong Pagoda.”

Upon speaking, Ye Chen glanced at Ye Sheng, Ye Chunzhi, and Ye Chunong, and said with a faint smile, ”What’s wrong? Not healing your injuries quickly? Are you planning to drag your wounded bodies through that black mist outside? Don’t worry, I’m not Ye Niang, I don’t have such a strong urge to kill people like you.”

”You... ”

Ye Sheng gritted his teeth, gazing at Ye Chen with a complex expression, then looked at Ye Lingtian, who had begun to search for the core of the formation to take away the Star Stone, and eventually asked, ”Who exactly are you?”

No one helps others for no reason, especially someone like Ye Chen, who risked his life to help.

Ye Lingtian has now gained the recognition of the Blood Essence Sealing God Pearl, and just now, he handed it back to Ye Chen. The relationship between the two, with the continual address of ’Hall Master’, was self-evident.

Yet the problem lies here.

Ye Lingtian was undoubtedly the biggest contributor to this Ancestor Ritual, as he passed the test of the inheritance ceremony, unlocked the seal on the Reincarnation Star Stone, and gained the recognition of the Blood Essence Sealing God Pearl. Additionally, he held the weapon of the family’s progenitor—the Abyss Punishment Spear.

He also received the greatest gift from the Ye family’s ’Ancestor Stone’, jumping straight to the Chaos Realm. It’s not some lower-level cultivation that can be broken through so easily!

After this battle, if nothing goes wrong, the Ye family might likely appoint Ye Lingtian as the family head, raise the banner of the Ye family’s main line again, and embark on the path of reclaiming the glory of the peak Ye family of the past.

But such a person pledges allegiance to this young man in the Disaster Slaying realm’s ninth-level, calling him Hall Master, completely willing to do so.

Would this mean that the entire Ye family would have to consider this person their master in the future?

This even somewhat resembles the relationship between the Ye family and the Samsara Master.

Ye Sheng once wondered whether Ye Chen could be this generation’s Samsara Master, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

Based on his understanding and ancient records, the Samsara Master was betrayed by a woman, the divine soul was destroyed, and could not return to Samsara.

It couldn’t possibly appear before him.

”Who I am doesn’t really matter. What you need to know is that I have no malice toward your Ye family.”

Ye Chen, with eyes closed adjusting his breath, said casually, not even sparing Ye Sheng a glance, ”Do you think there’s anything in the current Ye family worth risking my life for?”

Ye Sheng’s face flushed red. This blunt and straightforward speech was nothing short of contempt and humiliation for every member of the Ye family.

Yet he couldn’t refute it, because Ye Chen was right.

The current Ye family really doesn’t have anything worth plotting for. Even if there were, it’s not worth a young man with a bright future risking his life for.

And yet, Ye Chen did just that.

Ye Sheng, with his neck stiff, was unwilling to concede, ”No malice now doesn’t mean there won’t be any in the future.”

”Who knows what the future holds?”

Ye Chen opened his eyes, a light flickering in his gaze, looking at this Ye family core disciple who was quite proud at their first meeting, and asked rhetorically, ”Even if I do have some thoughts about the Ye family, do you have the right to refuse?

Ye Lingtian was brought in by me. Without me, your Ancestor Ritual would still have failed this time.

If the Ancestor Ritual fails again, the morale of the entire Ye family will be drained. In the face of a full-on siege by the Heavenly Dao Palace, it would be impossible to wait for the arrival of the next millennial cycle.

Frankly speaking, I am the biggest hero of your Ancestor Ritual this time, as I found you a descendant with the purest Ye family bloodline, and what’s more, a young man with considerable talent.

Even if Ye Lingtian is my subordinate, do you have the right to refuse?

Even if the Ancestor Ritual failed, what you should do is unite all possible forces and find every person who might help you. Even if they have demands on the Ye family, as long as they’re not too excessive, you should accept them.

What’s more, we helped the Ye family complete the Ancestor Ritual and lifted the seal on the Reincarnation Star Stone.”

”But... ”

”But what?”

Ye Sheng wanted to say more but was directly interrupted by Ye Chen, ”If I were you, I wouldn’t even consider my identity right now. Instead, I would heal my body immediately and then quickly leave here to return to the Linglong Tower.

Ye Niang is dead, but that doesn’t mean the internal troubles of the Ye family are gone. Her master is a more terrifying powerhouse in the Heavenly God Realm. In addition, with the Heavenly Dao Palace’s infiltration of the Ye family over the years, do you think that the success of the Ancestor Ritual means everything is perfectly resolved?

The Ye family is still not out of danger, more so, if those from the Heavenly Dao Palace know the Ancestor Ritual was a success, they might increase their efforts to besiege the Ye family.

However... ”
