The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3960: Chapter 3960: Gates of Hell (Seven Updates)

Although Ye Chen’s plan didn’t appear to have any significant flaws, facing a late-stage Qiankun Realm opponent, even if the opponent’s strength was reduced due to severe injuries, who could say for sure?

Anyone who could reach the late stage of the Qiankun Realm is no weakling. It has been so long since Ye Chen left, could something unexpected have happened?

At this moment, a figure flashed by the cave entrance. Qin Hongyue’s beautiful eyes lit up, but her heart instantly tightened. She knew that if Ye Chen had been defeated in battle, the one coming in would be Shi Fei...

Spiritual energy circulated quietly around her body as she held her breath, preparing to self-destruct. Although she was a merchant who prioritized profit and was extremely rational, to her, death was a more valuable choice than falling into Shi Fei’s hands.

Soon, under the reflection of the firelight, the figure gradually became clear. When she saw the indifferent yet handsome face clearly, Qin Hongyue finally exhaled a breath and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Ye Chen walked to Qin Hongyue’s side, waved his hand, and threw a black, round object in front of the bonfire. Qin Hongyue was slightly stunned, focusing her gaze, and saw that it was a head!

Shi Fei’s head!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the cave became somewhat heavy, as if the whole world had fallen silent.

Qin Hongyue gazed at the head, her beautiful eyes misty, tears like broken pearls falling and rolling down. She knelt in the void and made a bow, choking up, ”Aunt Lin, everyone at Beihan Commerce, your vengeance is avenged...”

After saying this, the usually shrewd and composed heir to Beihan Commerce collapsed in tears like a child.

Ye Chen sighed lightly and handed over a handkerchief.

A trace of apology flashed secretly in his eyes. The reason he took extra care of Qin Hongyue wasn’t that he had any special feelings for her, but because of guilt in his heart. If it weren’t for him, Qin Hongyue would already have returned to Beihan Commerce, enjoying leisure after work, wouldn’t she?

The Aunt Lin who had been with her from a young age, almost like a mother, who watched her grow up, would still be by her side, right?

Although this matter was a transaction between the two and not Ye Chen’s responsibility, seeing Qin Hongyue suppressing her emotions with all her might still made Ye Chen feel somewhat sympathetic.

The reason he wanted to kill Shi Fei was largely to avenge Qin Hongyue.

Qin Hongyue, although opposed to Ye Chen taking risks, clearly wished for Shi Fei’s death more than anyone!

A moment later, after Qin Hongyue calmed down, Ye Chen said, ”Alright, we should leave now. If we delay any longer, that array formation will be completed.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyue’s expression changed slightly, ”Array formation? What does array formation mean?”

Ye Chen said, ”Li Shan has already brought help to the outside of Soul-devouring Island, setting up an array formation, presumably to deal with Shi Fei. Although Shi Fei is now dead, that doesn’t mean they will let us go.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyue frowned, ”What is Li Shan’s strength and that of his helpers?”

Ye Chen said, ”Li Shan is at the late stage of the Qiankun Realm, but now he’s injured and is estimated only able to exert early-stage Qiankun Realm strength. As for his helper, they should also be late-stage Qiankun Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyue’s breath caught, her pretty face turning pale, ”Ah? At present, he’s guarding outside the island, how can we leave? Perhaps it’s better to hide within Soul-devouring Island, you can use your spiritual sense here on the island, it won’t be easy for them to find us. Given enough time without finding any trace of us or Shi Fei, they may assume Shi Fei already left and give up searching, right?”

Ye Chen shook his head, ”I’m afraid that’s not possible. Just now, I saw this person using divine power, seemingly able to sense subtle changes in energy fluctuations and the traces left behind. Even if I possess spiritual sense, avoiding his pursuit won’t be easy...”

Qin Hongyue, looking somewhat grim, said, ”Could the person you’re describing have Golden Eyes?”

Ye Chen said, ”That’s correct.”

Qin Hongyue bit her lip, ”Then now, what do we do? I’ve heard this Xu Ling... is very fond of women, a notorious flower thief. If we go out just like this...”

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the head on the ground, ”Don’t worry, we still have an amulet.”

...

Around Soul-devouring Island, beams of spiritual light shot skyward, faintly forming an array formation. As Li Shan and Xu Ling moved, they landed on Soul-devouring Island, preparing to head towards the island’s center.

But suddenly, a man and a woman appeared before them, causing Xu Ling and Li Shan’s pupils to contract as they looked at the pair.

The man, with an indifferent expression and slightly cold eyes, was Ye Chen.

Xu Ling’s gaze skimmed over him and landed on the red-dressed girl beside him!

The next moment, Xu Ling’s eyes flashed with an extremely greedy light, like a wolf starving for hundreds of years suddenly discovering a lamb!

The red-dressed girl’s beauty was unparalleled, her demeanor elegant, her eyes shining with intelligence. She was none other than the heir to Beihan Commerce, known as the most beautiful woman in the North Sea, Qin Hongyue.

Xu Ling, with a wicked smile, spoke to Qin Hongyue, ”Miss Qin? Truly, seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times, stunning beyond words! Back when I roamed the Chenyue Sea, I dreamt of tasting your sweetness, yet Beihan Commerce’s defenses were too tight, and I never got the chance...

Who would’ve thought the heavens favored me today, bringing us together, a match made by fate itself! Miss Qin, don’t you think so?”

However, despite Xu Ling’s lustful, eager appearance, he didn’t act rashly...

Because he hadn’t yet seen Shi Fei!

No matter how lecherous Xu Ling was, he wouldn’t dare play with women before a significant enemy.

His eyes flashed with golden light as he prepared to use the residual energy traces to find Shi Fei’s whereabouts...

Various energy fluctuations appeared in his eyes as he was about to look around, but when his gaze fell on Ye Chen, his expression changed dramatically!

He exclaimed incredulously, ”Gates of hell? It’s actually the gates of hell!”

At this moment, a dense aura of evil energy surrounded Ye Chen, transforming into a massive door surrounded by countless evil ghosts, this phenomenon called gates of hell! Xu Ling had seen it before...

Yet, the phenomenon of gates of hell usually only existed in areas of great danger!

But now it appeared around a person?

To see such a phenomenon on a human, either that person had just committed numerous killings, annihilating billions of lives, or they had slain a supremely powerful existence!
