Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1425: Xuantian City (5 Updates)

After a long journey, Ye Haochuan and Fan Qingyin finally reached outside Xuantian City. Looking at the gigantic city walls ahead, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

Xuantian City, as one of the only four in the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, has a scale beyond imagination. Not to mention the city walls that are over a thousand meters high and hundreds of meters thick, which leave people in awe.

Moreover, there are countless patrol cultivators on the walls defending round the clock. The strength of these cultivators is at least at the Core Formation Stage, which provides a sense of security for those living inside.

Speaking of which, these walls have a bit of the flavor of the Great Wall. Inside, there’s an entire region filled with mountains, rivers, lakes, cities, and villages—everything one could expect.

”Let’s go, we’ll talk once we’re inside the city. I need to find a place to repair my phone,”

Ye Haochuan took out his phone, feeling speechless. His phone was first dropped by himself, making it barely usable but luckily not broken.

Unexpectedly, it met a Purple Lightning Bee, and after being crazily electrified by these creatures, the phone became utterly unusable.

”Hehehe, it’s truly rare to see you in a tough spot!”

Fan Qingyin glanced at Ye Haochuan’s gloomy expression, covering her mouth as she giggled softly.

”If you want to see it, it’s easy. Just stay with me day and night, and you won’t just see me in tough spots, you’ll see me eating other things too, like little white rabbits. So, how about it? Consider it? Hehehe.”

Ye Haochuan put away his phone, looking mischievously at Fan Qingyin, even raising his eyebrows teasingly.

”Can’t be bothered with you!”

Fan Qingyin heard the underlying implication in his words, her face turned red, and she walked quickly towards the city gate. Suddenly, a scene of her and Ye Haochuan on a small island flashed through her mind, making her blush even more, her neck turning red as well.

”Whoa! Why so sensitive? Didn’t notice before!”

Ye Haochuan watched Fan Qingyin’s shy look, her blush reaching the nape of her neck, making him suspicious, yet unable to make sense of it, so he shook his head and followed quickly.

”Show me your token! No token, no city entry! Also, the entry fee is two Superior Spirit Crystals per person.”

As they arrived at the city gate, two cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Peak came forward, reaching out their hands. They were reserve personnel, basically handling fees and other miscellaneous tasks.

Ye Haochuan knew these entry fees were standard, so he said nothing, flipped his hand, and handed over the fee, then presented his token.

This token was given by the elderly of the Zhu Family, so he had no fear of any issue being found out. Beside him, Fan Qingyin also handed over her token.

Having collected the Spirit Crystals, the two cultivators checked the tokens then stepped aside without further trouble, allowing them to enter the passage.

This passage stretches hundreds of kilometers in length and height, with its walls embedded with a peculiar mineral emitting a soft glow, illuminating the passage clearly.

”It’s truly spectacular!”

After exiting the passage, Fan Qingyin kept turning back to look at the majestic city walls and the towering passage.

”Heh, it is quite spectacular, but for cultivators, this is just a minor project. As long as there are enough materials, a few Nascent Soul Experts could make quick work of completing it.”

Ye Haochuan glanced at the city walls, feeling a bit moved—even though these walls were easy to construct, the formations within them were not something that could be set up in just a day or two.

”Yes, I wonder why they need to build it so tall. Is it to defend against enemies or something?”

As he thought of this, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but reflect on it.

”Well, I’ve heard that sometimes in the Zhenyuan Realm, demon beast attacks on the city do occur. You know, it’s said that during the last demon beast attack, there were over a dozen Nascent Soul demon beasts alone, thousands of Core Formation demon beasts, and countless other low-level demon monsters...”

Fan Qingyin nodded, recounting what she’s heard in the past to Ye Haochuan. Just by repeating it, her face turned a bit pale.

”It seems, nowhere is truly safe! Ultimately, personal strength is key.”

Ye Haochuan sighed, realizing his own strength was increasingly important, because only by being strong could one face any danger without fear.

”Alliance Hierarch... I... I finally found you...”

Suddenly, a shriveled, scarred hand grabbed onto Ye Haochuan’s sleeve, and a hoarse voice reached his ears.

Huh? This voice sounds so familiar, who is it?

Ye Haochuan was startled, quickly turning to look. Because he had just entered the city and seen the towering walls, subconsciously he believed himself to be safe.

Combined with the talk of demon beast attacks, his heart was overwhelmed, so he hadn’t noticed the surroundings, realizing only when someone got close.

In the future, no matter what, he couldn’t let his guard down, or he wouldn’t even know how he died!

While cautioning himself, Ye Haochuan identified the person before him. This person was disheveled, with ragged clothes, a dazed expression, exposed skin covered in crisscrossing scars.

”Who are you?”

Due to a vaguely familiar feeling, Ye Haochuan didn’t explode right away but asked with puzzlement.

”Alliance Hierarch, it’s me, it’s me, I’m Guan Ling!”

Guan Ling clutched Ye Haochuan’s sleeve, hoarse, his thick hair completely obscuring his face.

”Guan Ling? How did you end up like this?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Haochuan immediately reacted, looking around, not seeing who he expected, and asked in confusion: ”Why are you alone?”

Back then, Guan Ling arrived at Xuantian City together with Liu Sheng and Su Zehao on a flying vessel. Now with Guan Ling here, where are Liu Sheng and Su Zehao?

”They... they...”

Guan Ling choked up, speaking so softly that Ye Haochuan couldn’t make out a single word he said.

”What? Ah, speak louder!”

Ye Haochuan was anxious. He stretched out his hand, lifted him up, and saw countless scars beneath the dense hair.

Oh my god!

Ye Haochuan was shocked, quickly pulling Guan Ling’s hair apart to reveal a network of intersecting scars, marks of branding irons burned on his skin.

”Ah!”

Fan Qingyin, beside Ye Haochuan, also saw Guan Ling’s pitiful state. His face was terrifying enough to make her involuntarily scream.

”Hmm? What happened to your cultivation?”

Suddenly, Ye Haochuan examined Guan Ling again, noticing that his steps were unsteady, his spiritual energy dull, lacking any Core Formation Cultivator aura and instead seeming like an ordinary person.
