Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1666: Chapter 1666: Discovered

Fan Qingyin has mastered the Shape-shifting Technique, making her the perfect choice to enter. However, Ye Haochuan still felt uneasy, so he let Di Yan accompany her.

Di Yan had always appeared in the form of a Demon Beast beside Gu Tao, and now that he transformed into human form, no one paid much attention.

Besides, Yige was naturally indispensable. While Di Yan’s Perception was exceptional, he couldn’t conduct a precise, large-scale search.

Di Yan’s probing was akin to a radar in the Secular World, capable of detecting the opponent’s location and Cultivation, but unable to discern the opponent’s appearance.

Meanwhile, Yige could perform a comprehensive search using the trees, allowing for a more meticulous investigation of every individual.

After discussions concluded, Fan Qingyin, Yige, and Di Yan used the Barrier Penetrating Bead to effortlessly enter the small city.

The three didn’t venture too deep; they simply found a large tree near the barrier and had Yige connect with it.

The tree’s root system was very developed; as long as any tree had interactions with this one, it instantly fell within Yige’s surveillance range.

A few minutes later, Yige opened his eyes, said a few words to Fan Qingyin and Di Yan, and then they used the Barrier Penetrating Bead to get out. The entire process took only a few minutes, without any issues.

As Yige and the others approached, Ye Haochuan looked expectantly at Yige, but Yige shook his head and said, ”None of the trees here have seen Shuying!”

Generally, large trees lack memory, but those that have grown for years in areas rich in Spiritual Artifacts may develop some Spiritual Sense. Like the Spirit-Gathering Tree that once helped Yige evolve, they not only possess thoughts but can also communicate with Ye Haochuan telepathically.

With these Spiritual Senses, the trees would have some memory. However, since this memory capability is not innate, it’s limited, retaining only one or two days at most.

Yige saying he didn’t find Jiang Shuying is enough to show that Jiang Shuying is not currently in the small city, and in recent days, she hasn’t appeared here either.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed, yet he understood that this was only the first of the seven southern cities; finding Jiang Shuying in the first city would indeed be a miracle.

”By the way, I discovered something in the city. It seems that the Gu Family’s pursuit order against us has been canceled?” Yige suddenly said.

”Canceled? Why would they let us go so easily?” Ye Haochuan asked incredulously.

”I overheard some people chatting; they seemed to think that since we entered the Primordial Yang Flame Prison, we were as good as dead. So they assumed we had already perished!” Yige explained.

Well, unexpectedly, fortune came from misfortune.

Ye Haochuan could not help but chuckle to himself.

But it makes sense. The flames in the Primordial Yang Flame Prison are so severe that even Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators wouldn’t dare enter. Who would’ve thought they could survive and come out?

Without anyone pursuing them, Ye Haochuan felt a weight lifted from his shoulders. The group no longer traveled cautiously and flew at top speed to the next place.

The second city, none, the third city, still nothing...

Visiting a series of four or five cities, Yige remained empty-handed. Ye Haochuan’s heart sank lower and grew more anxious.

He suddenly felt foolish for trusting that Old Nun hadn’t harmed Jiang Shuying, thereby letting his guard down.

But after his dealings with the Gu Family, his perspective changed. He realized that this world was full of selfish individuals.

The Old Nun’s peculiar kindness towards Jiang Shuying might conceal some untold plot.

”Rest assured, Shuying will be fine!” Fan Qingyin noticed Ye Haochuan’s anxiety and comforted him.

At this moment, Yige was meticulously scouring the sixth small city. Knowing their Wanted Order was canceled, everyone but Little Lei entered this time.

Little Lei, being too young and unable to fully master the shapeshifting ability, had to be left outside.

Ye Haochuan forced a smile and sighed, ”Hopefully!”

”Found her!” Just as Ye Haochuan was feeling downhearted, Yige exclaimed joyfully.

”Where?” Ye Haochuan, feeling as if he heard celestial music, jumped up in excitement and urgently asked.

”Jiang Shuying and a tall woman left in a hurry from this city a day ago. Shortly after, a cultivator dressed as a nun chased after them in anger!”

”What?” The joy Ye Haochuan felt vanished as if doused by cold water.

It seemed his earlier worries were realized. That Old Nun’s intentions were indeed not good; otherwise, Jiang Shuying wouldn’t have fled.

Of course, it is possible that the master and disciple encountered something and had to part ways, but Ye Haochuan felt this was unlikely.

”Which direction did they go?”

”Eastward!”

”Isn’t that the direction we came from?”

”Yeah, perhaps we missed each other while checking the other cities!”

”Damn it!” Ye Haochuan cursed, immediately pulling out the Barrier Penetrating Bead to pass through the barrier.

Just then, a roar came from afar.

”Is that... Little Lei’s voice?” Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened again, and he quickly dashed over.

Little Lei, left in a hidden spot because he couldn’t shapeshift, now seemed to have been spotted.

Indeed, the next moment, Little Lei’s robust figure suddenly burst out, with a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator in pursuit.

”Hahaha, what a find here, a Divine Beast! Not even the flames of the Primordial Yang Flame Prison could kill you!” The Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator laughed as he pursued.

”Roar~” Little Lei roared angrily, refusing to back down, charging again.

Though only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, Little Lei, being a Divine Beast, could definitely match an ordinary Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator.

However, this cultivator didn’t seem to be an ordinary Nascent Soul Mid-Stage. As Little Lei charged, he smiled instead of getting angry and said, ”The Gu Family offered so many benefits for capturing you; it seems like heaven is helping me to get rich!”

With that, the cultivator’s aura surged, fiercely engaging with Little Lei.

The intense battle outside successfully caught the attention of people within the small city.

”Look quickly, isn’t that the Divine Beast Suan Ni from the group the Gu Family is pursuing?” someone exclaimed.

”Indeed, with such majestic presence, it’s undoubtedly a Divine Beast. But wait, weren’t they driven into the Primordial Yang Flame Prison? How are they still alive?”

”Who knows? Maybe the Divine Beast has some special ability that prevents it from being burned to death!”

”Look, some people are rushing over. These people resemble those described in the Gu Family’s Wanted Order!”

The Gu Family’s Wanted Order had detailed descriptions and portraits of Ye Haochuan and others, making it easy for them to be recognized.

”Quick, report to the City Lord. Assisting in capturing these people would surely bring generous rewards...”
