Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1185: Chapter 1184: You Knew I Had a Problem Early On? (2nd Update)

The old woman took a full ten minutes to traverse a distance of about a hundred meters. Strangely, none of the people present displayed the slightest impatience.

From the moment the old woman appeared until now, all eyes were on her, silent and devout.

The old woman slowly ascended the high platform, glancing around before her gaze finally settled on Ye Haochuan.

Damn it, does that crappy pearl from Yue Deng even work? Why can every expert still spot him?

Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly, contemplating if he should act if he were indeed discovered.

Fortunately, the old woman’s gaze didn’t linger on him for long; after a few seconds, she slowly moved it away.

”Ladies and gentlemen, today...” the old woman took a deep breath and began her usual opening remarks in English.

Ye Haochuan’s English wasn’t great but wasn’t bad either, so he could barely understand.

However, his attention was clearly elsewhere; he had already activated his perspective, scanning around to locate Lin Qingxuan and her sister.

To his disappointment, he found nothing around the square.

Could it be that they weren’t captured by the Dark Church?

Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened. If the Dark Church wasn’t responsible, their presence here would be meaningless. On the contrary, failing to locate the sisters in time would place them in greater danger.

Just as Ye Haochuan was filled with worry, he heard the old woman shout in a hoarse voice, ”Now, the sacrificial ceremony officially begins. Bring forth the offering!”

At her command, the ground suddenly started to tremble. A massive stone slab quickly shifted aside, and a woman tightly bound began to slowly rise up.

Shit, no wonder I couldn’t find her earlier; she was underground!

Ye Haochuan smirked, but when he saw the woman’s face clearly, he couldn’t help but frown.

The woman being raised was none other than Lin Zixuan, who had sent the distress signal.

No, could it be that their purpose in capturing Lin Qingxuan was really to lure Lin Zixuan?

Ye Haochuan was filled with questions.

According to his previous speculation, Lin Qingxuan was much more likely to have the Dark Physique. Moreover, if Lin Zixuan was to be sacrificed, then where was Lin Qingxuan hidden?

With Lin Qingxuan in their hands, if Ye Haochuan rescues Lin Zixuan now, Lin Qingxuan could very well be harmed because of it. Then, wouldn’t Lin Qingxuan’s death be on his hands?

But if he doesn’t save Lin Zixuan, she’ll soon meet her end here.

Damn it, what kind of messed-up situation is this?

Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly, filled with conflict, unsure whether to save her or not.

”What do we do?” Yue Deng asked beside him.

”What else can we do? Save her!” Ye Haochuan muttered under his breath.

He could feel that since Lin Zixuan’s appearance, the attention of the old woman and the middle-aged man had been on him.

His unusual behavior earlier had undoubtedly been noticed by them. In this situation, there was no other option but to bite the bullet and go for it.

”I’ll hold off the two Core Formation stage practitioners; you go save her!”

Ye Haochuan didn’t have time to worry; he had to rescue Lin Zixuan first. No matter what, they had gone through so much together; he couldn’t just watch her die in front of him.

Leaving behind those words, Ye Haochuan charged out, targeting the old woman on the platform. Of everyone here, it was this old woman that gave Ye Haochuan the least confidence.

Seeing Ye Haochuan make his move, the old woman wasn’t the least bit surprised. With a light wave of her withered arm, she effortlessly deflected Ye Haochuan’s strike.

”I thought you could bear it until the ceremony began, but I didn’t expect you to be so impatient!” the old woman said with a calm smile, a hint of disdain in her voice.

”You knew I was a problem from the beginning?” Ye Haochuan asked sternly. That earlier strike used eighty percent of his strength but was easily neutralized by the old woman. It seemed she at least had a Core Formation Mid-Stage cultivation.

”Just a guess, I didn’t expect that old Pu Qinglao to still be willing to lend out the Loathe-God Pearl!” The old woman spoke as if chatting casually, her tone unchanging.

”You know my master?” Yue Deng asked with suspicion.

The old woman chuckled lightly and said, ”We could be considered old acquaintances. I’ve no idea how many times he’s come to my area. Just didn’t expect he took on a disciple.”

”I’ve been his disciple for ten years; didn’t he tell you about me?” Yue Deng said with some annoyance.

Damn it, did you really think your master and he were best buddies who share everything, even about you?

Ye Haochuan’s face darkened.

”Huh? Something doesn’t feel right! Why doesn’t she seem the least bit angry?” Ye Haochuan suddenly felt a pang.

He had crashed their sacrificial ceremony, so why was this old woman chatting with him so calmly? Isn’t the ceremony supposed to be time-sensitive? Wouldn’t this delay mess up the timing?

The more Ye Haochuan thought, the more he felt something was off. Could the old woman be stalling for time?

If she’s waiting for reinforcements, she might not be able to take him on her own.

He suddenly got this idea, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

If it wasn’t for this purpose, he couldn’t fathom why the old woman would react this way. Also, they were alone in enemy territory; the longer they dragged this out, the more dangerous it became.

”Never mind, let’s go for it!”

Ye Haochuan’s expression tensed, summoning the Divine Concealment Sword.

”Sword Sweep the Nine Heavens!”

The Sword Qi from the Divine Concealment Sword spread out instantly, heading straight for the old woman.

The old woman frowned noticeably, just about to counter when a large shield suddenly descended from the sky, landing perfectly in front of her.

Clang~

The large shield successfully blocked the Divine Concealment Sword, but it was severely dented from the strain.

The one who summoned the large shield was the Core Formation stage middle-aged man. He clearly hadn’t expected Ye Haochuan to be this strong, his expression tightening, yet he steadfastly guarded the old woman.

Ye Haochuan, having missed his strike, was not worried but rather delighted. The old woman’s reaction confirmed his suspicion. It seemed he had overestimated her earlier.

It’s just uncertain what that dangerous aura around her was about.

”Yue Deng, save her!”

Ye Haochuan softly called, once again charging towards the middle-aged man.

The man’s face was ashen. Seeing Ye Haochuan charge, he shouted sharply, ”What are you all doing standing around? Quick, help me capture these two spies!”

Hundreds of people on the square suddenly snapped to, with someone instantly responding, ”Protect Priestess Mi Si!”

In an instant, hundreds of people split into two groups, half charging at Ye Haochuan, the other half surrounding the old woman.

Ye Haochuan chuckled softly, filled with disdain. For someone at his level now, anyone below Core Formation stage posed no threat.

”Sword Breaking the Sky!”

Ye Haochuan swung his sword across, and the crowd fell as if wheat stalks had been cut down, with over ten people dropping!

”Isn’t he... too strong?” Everyone was filled with shock, with some meek-hearted individuals crying out and fleeing.

”Perish!”

Ye Haochuan roared fiercely, like a lion among a flock of sheep, making hearts tremble with fear.
