Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1658: Chapter 1658: Searching for Someone While Finding a Way Out

Little Lei led the group in a rapid flight, and soon, Gu Ran, who had been howling in agony, suddenly let out a shout, and the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame around him was instantly shaken off.

Right now, he was in a truly miserable state.

His hair and clothes were completely gone, and his entire skin was charred and ulcerated. From afar, he looked like a monkey that had been forcibly skinned.

However, although he looked disheveled, he hadn’t sustained any fatal injuries. As for his skin injuries, they were rapidly recovering under the dual effect of his abundant spiritual energy and the pills he had consumed.

”You bastards, I swear I won’t be a human if I don’t tear you to pieces!” Gu Ran roared in fury. Just then, some members of the Gu Family caught up, and he ordered a few of them to split up and pursue. He then chose a direction and dashed in pursuit.

By the time he realized it, Little Lei had already disappeared with a few others. The direction he could pursue was based only on the route Little Lei and the others had previously taken.

After chasing for a long time, they still couldn’t catch up. Other members of the Gu Family returned without success as well.

”Family Head, it seems they changed direction while fleeing, and we simply have nowhere to search!” a Nascent Soul Late Stage expert of the Gu Family sighed.

The flying speed of demon beasts is usually faster than that of cultivators, and now that Little Lei has evolved into a Suan Ni, his speed is even faster with the power of the divine beast.

Among all the Gu Family, aside from Gu Ran at Nascent Soul Peak, even those at Nascent Soul Late Stage couldn’t catch up. So their return without success was expected.

”A bunch of useless trash!” Gu Ran’s eyes were already bloodshot with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, ”Send people to guard the Realm Gate and contact families like the Jiang Family and Su Family who have dealings with us. No matter the cost, we must ask them to send experts to help in the chase!”

”Family Head, isn’t this inappropriate?” The Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator advised, ”Family matters shouldn’t be aired to outsiders. If other families know about our crisis, won’t they laugh at our Gu Family?”

”Fool!” Gu Ran immediately cursed, ”Our Spirit Gathering Array is already broken. Can this matter be covered up?”

”This...” The cultivator also realized the gravity of the situation, and his expression changed, saying, ”Precisely because the Spirit Gathering Array is broken, we should conserve our resources. If we throw them away, our Gu Family will truly have no hope of rising again.”

”Without the Spirit Gathering Array, how long can the little resources we have last? Even if we don’t send them out, can the Gu Family nurture a Nascent Soul Peak expert?” Gu Ran said irritably.

All along, the Gu Family’s greatest resource was that Spirit Gathering Array. As long as they had it, they had an ample amount of spiritual energy for cultivation.

Now that it’s broken and they have no way to repair it, no amount of resources can compensate for this loss.

”At worst, we can take another one...” The Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator muttered, but before he could finish his sentence, he swallowed the rest of the words.

In the Secret Realm’s Thirty-Six Cities, each city is occupied by a family. Among these thirty-six families, the Gu Family is of above-average strength, surely capable of defeating many families if they rely on strength.

However, in reality, it’s not that easy. Just as Gu Ran can control the barrier of the Gu Family’s small city, other family heads can control the barriers of their own small cities too.

These Spirit Gathering Arrays are the treasured lands left from ancient times. Even with ten Gu Rans, it would be impossible to break through the barriers.

Without breaking the barriers, how can you talk about conquering?

Of course, you can use some tricks, which were often employed in the past when families fought over the small cities hundreds of years ago.

But times have changed; now, the Thirty-Six Cities have signed a peace agreement, and whoever dares to break it will be destroyed by the other families.

”So, does that mean our Gu Family is... finished?” The Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator suddenly seemed lost and said blankly.

”Finished, my ass! At worst, we’ll go outside the Secret Realm and grab a territory from that damn Xuanmen. That kid is from the Ye Family; he caused the trouble, so Ye Hao should pay for it!”

Gu Ran let out a cold snort and then shouted furiously, ”Stop giving me this bullshit and hurry to find people from other families. If you can’t catch those kids, I’ll eat you alive!”

The Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator immediately felt his hair stand on end, and not daring to delay any longer, he called a few people and left quickly.

Gu Ran, still fuming with anger, picked a direction and sped off in pursuit.

...

”Wha... what happened to me?” Ye Haochuan slowly woke up, feeling unbearably sore all over, and severely injured internally, so he asked curiously.

Fan Qingyin, seeing Ye Haochuan awake, finally let out a sigh of relief and gently said, ”You’ve overexerted yourself!”

”Overexerted?” Ye Haochuan suddenly understood.

Earlier, he saw the Flames of the Eyes harming Gu Ran and got excited, then kept urging the flames to burn Gu Ran to death.

He completely forgot that the Flames of the Eyes consumed a lot. In the last confrontation with Yang Yi, using it for not even half the time of this occasion nearly cost him his life.

This time, the consumption was even greater than last, and the burden on his body was immense, which is the root cause of his current injuries.

Ye Haochuan quickly took out a Snow Condensation Revival Pill and swallowed it. Apart from this pill, no other medicine could dispel such injuries.

It seems that the Heavenly Eye Incineration should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sigh. He only has two Snow Condensation Revival Pills left. A couple more times like this, and he’d be playing himself to death.

”By the way, is Gu Ran dead?” Ye Haochuan asked expectantly.

Killing a Nascent Soul Peak expert is such a formidable feat that, even with Ye Haochuan’s strong will, he couldn’t help but be excited.

”If he was burned to death, would we still need to run away? Do you really think you’ve descended from the heavens, thinking you can kill a Nascent Soul Peak expert at Core Formation Peak? I think you’re still half asleep!”

These harsh words came from a handsome young man. Ye Haochuan naturally knew him; it was Di Yan in his human form.

In fact, Di Yan quite liked transforming. It’s just that when he was ”enslaved” by Gu Tao, Gu Tao preferred the original form of the divine beast and thus forbade him to transform, which is why he always appeared as the Di Ting Beast before.

Seriously, what’s with this guy? Can’t he speak nicely?

Ye Haochuan was speechless and said with a pout, ”Even if I’m dreaming, do you have to pour such a large bucket of cold water over my hopes?”

”What else should I do? Should I coax you, the liar, with kind words? I care about your feelings, but who cares about mine?” Di Yan coldly snorted.

”Liar? What did I lie to you about?” Ye Haochuan asked in confusion.

”You didn’t lie to me? Fine, let me ask you, do you know how to get out of this world?”

Di Yan questioned, ”We agreed to cooperate so you’d help me escape. Now, I took such a risk to help you rescue Little Lei, only to find out that you have no way out. If this isn’t lying, what is it?”

”What the hell, when did I ever say I had a way to the outside world?” Ye Haochuan said irritably, ”Besides, we said we’d rescue you from the Gu Family, not out of this world. When did I promise to get you out of this world?”

”You’re just making excuses! If it were only about escaping from the Gu Family, do I still need...”

”Need what? Could you have escaped alone without us?” Ye Haochuan retorted.

”I...” Di Yan was instantly at a loss for words.

Ye Haochuan was right; without them, he couldn’t possibly escape from the Gu Family’s small city.

”So, if there’s no way out, are we supposed to stay in this hellhole forever?” Di Yan said weakly as if all the wind had been taken out of his sails.

”I didn’t plan on leaving right now anyway. I still need to find someone very important. How about searching for someone while finding a way out?” Ye Haochuan said with a pout.
