The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3838: Chapter 3838: Withered Bones! The Pact! (Second Update)

Here, it’s filled with dense necrosis, and faint sinister wails linger around your ears. How could this be a place where life dwells?

The mysterious martial artist from the auction house asked to meet him here in the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest. Where could he be?

At this moment, a bone-chilling shadowy wind suddenly surged from behind Ye Chen. The golden-winged roc standing beside Ye Chen flickered a look of vigilance in its eagle eyes and immediately took flight backwards!

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed, and a black long sword appeared in his palm. Without turning his head, he slashed towards the rear!

Upon the Slaughter Sword, grey-black sword light surged, intertwining the essence of the Destruction Divine Dao and Soul-devouring Technique, merging into an extremely cold edge, shooting towards the shadowy wind!

With a loud boom, a scream came from within the shadowy wind, and black ghost blood splattered in all directions. A blood corpse with red eyes and covered in black fur revealed its form from the shadowy wind!

Ye Chen’s face turned cold as he looked at this red-eyed blood corpse. It turned out to be a terrifying ghost of mid-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm. However, with Ye Chen’s current strength, he still possesses the power to fight!

Just as Ye Chen prepared to attack again, aiming to eliminate the opponent before this blood corpse could reveal its trump card, the blood corpse gave Ye Chen a fearful glance, let out a howl, and its entire black fur shot out, while it itself rolled up a gust of shadowy wind and flew swiftly towards the depths of the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest!

Ye Chen swung the long sword, and his entire body surged with demonic energy like a sea, sweeping the surrounding with sword light, annihilating all the overwhelming black fur.

Yet, looking at the direction in which the blood corpse fled, Ye Chen showed a peculiar expression. Such a ghost would flee so easily?

Weren’t blood corpses known for their unending slaughter and lack of reason?

Could they also feel fear?

Xuan Han Yu spoke up at this moment: ”Kid, your Destruction Divine Dao and Soul-devouring Technique have a strong restraining effect on Yin Demon ghosts. It’s not surprising that this black furred blood corpse fled... However, that black furred blood corpse did indeed seem a bit mysterious.”

...

At the same time, deep underground in the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest, there exists an enormous palace. A dark corridor extends into the depths of darkness, and at this time, disordered footsteps echoed in the corridor.

A figure suddenly flashed past the light from the pale blue torches adorning the walls of the corridor.

This figure was precisely the black furred blood corpse that had just fought with Ye Chen!

It didn’t take long for this blood corpse to arrive at the center of the palace.

A shocking scene appeared at the center of the palace!

An overwhelming stench of blood engulfed the area completely, and in the hall, pools of blood were constructed, filled with countless corpses!

These deceased clearly suffered inhumane abuse while alive, their bodies covered with sinister wounds. Some had their insides removed, others were skinned and disemboweled!

Unbelievably, a figure was walking back and forth in this hall, observing the blood pools as if inspecting something!

More astonishingly, the owner of this figure wasn’t a ghost, but rather a pale, slender young man with a refined appearance!

This man carried a scholarly aura, and if seen elsewhere, it would be difficult to imagine that he was a martial artist, let alone that he would appear in such a sinister and eerie place, treading normally among the pools of blood!

The blood corpse dashed straight to the young man!

Seeing the blood corpse’s injuries, the young man shifted his expression and said: ”Is someone here?”

On hearing this, the blood corpse opened its mouth and let out a howl, while the refined young man seemed to understand its howl, nodding with a smile and said: ”It seems the one we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived.”

The young man glanced at the blood pool beside him, where a corpse was vaguely turning black and decaying, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes:

”Since the auction ended last time, I’ve been staying underground for too long. It’s time to return to the surface and have a look.”

In the next instant, his figure flickered and disappeared from the underground palace.

Ye Chen walked through the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest, occasionally slaying an attacking Evil Ghost or a pouncing Corpse Demon, searching for traces of humanity.

Suddenly, Ye Chen’s expression shifted, and at the end of his sight, amidst rolling grey-white necrosis, a grass hut vaguely appeared!

Around the grass hut stood several stone pillars shimmering with golden radiance, faintly forming an array formation that protected the hut. The formation emanated a Buddhist aura, occasionally circulating with Sanskrit, sweeping away the surrounding necrosis, and causing ghostly entities to not dare approach.

Could it be that this grass hut is the hideout of the mysterious person?

Ye Chen’s speed suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he was before the grass hut. At this moment, the inhabitant of the hut seemed to sense the arrival of a visitor and slowly opened the door.

Ye Chen’s gaze flickered, seeing a refined young man emerge from the grass hut.

Upon seeing this young man, Ye Chen showed no hospitality, employing the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques simultaneously. The aura of the Annihilation Spirit Stone enveloping the young man rapidly dissipated under Ye Chen’s sensing, revealing the young man’s true level of cultivation!

After all, meeting a stranger in such a place, ensuring one’s own safety is paramount, and naturally one must ascertain the other’s strength!

In the next moment, Ye Chen’s eyes trembled slightly, as the young man turned out to be a Qiankun Realm First Layer existence!

The young man seemed to perceive Ye Chen’s use of the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques. He raised an eyebrow but didn’t comment further. Instead, he smiled at Ye Chen and asked: ”Who are you? What brings you to the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest?”

Ye Chen replied calmly: ”I’m here to meet a friend. We’ve exchanged some items in the past.”

On hearing this, the young man’s face seemed to flash with a hint of joy as he said: ”Are you referring to the Cang Gang’s auction?”

Ye Chen nodded and said: ”It seems you are the one who brought out the Ghost Buddha Relics back then.”

The young man said with a smile: ”My name is Chen You. How shall I address you?”

Ye Chen said: ”Ye Shitian.”

Chen You opened the door of the grass hut and said: ”Young Master Ye, please come in. This hut is protected by an array, making it difficult for ghosts to disturb us.”

Ye Chen didn’t refuse, stepping directly into the grass hut. He didn’t want to appear intimidated in front of Chen You. Chen You hadn’t practiced the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques. The more confident Ye Chen appeared, the more Chen You would be wary of him and unable to discern him.

Acting timidly would be counterproductive.

Sitting in the grass hut, Chen You brewed a cup of Spiritual Tea and handed it to Ye Chen.

As Ye Chen’s gaze swept across the room, though the hut appeared small from the outside, it was quite spacious inside, evidently arranged with some spatial formations.

Ye Chen’s gaze was quickly drawn to several skeletons placed in the room!
