Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2425: Chapter 2425: She’s Almost Gone!

”Isn’t he from the West Peak? Why follow him?” The subordinate found the order quite inexplicable.

”How could a task from West Peak be completed at North Peak?” The middle-aged cultivator sneered.

”This...”

The subordinate realized that tasks from the South Sect were generally divided by region, although cross-regional tasks were not impossible, but those were extremely rare.

Moreover, for such cross-regional tasks, the service halls between the peaks usually collaborated, as the relations among the peaks weren’t exactly friendly. If a conflict arose during a task, leading to full-scale opposition between the peaks, it would be no small matter.

Don’t think such events are absurd; several such incidents have occurred in history.

Particularly West Peak and Southern Peak, due to their lower jurisdiction and insufficient resources, they have long harbored jealousy towards North Peak and East Peak, who easily obtain more resources.

If anything triggers an outburst of such jealousy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After several incidents, the South Sect has issued orders that no South Sect disciple shall act across regions casually.

Therefore, Ye Haochuan’s direct entry into the Seal Demon Cave seemed very suspicious.

Poor Ye Haochuan, having not received any tasks at the service hall, was unaware of any cross-regional assignments, thus unknowingly committing a fatal mistake right from the start.

”Since you found out earlier, why let him go in?” The subordinate asked curiously.

”I want to understand what he’s actually here for; maybe we could uncover a Hua Clan’s embedded tumor within the South Sect!”

The middle-aged cultivator’s eyes gleamed with cunning: ”Gou Dongxi, a sly dog, haha, so self-satisfied!”

”Boss is wise!”

The subordinate smartly flattered, following obediently.

”Damn, there are indeed many experts!”

Ye Haochuan, unaware that he had been exposed, observed carefully the personnel setup around, feeling uneasy.

Just at the outskirts, he noticed several experts at the Void God Late Stage.

It was evident how much North Peak valued the Seal Demon Cave.

Lucky he didn’t recklessly charge in, otherwise he’d surely meet a tragic end.

Using his identity as a South Sect cultivator, Ye Haochuan smoothly entered the Seal Demon Cave’s interior.

”What are you staring at? Get in quickly, do you want to die?”

A stern reprimand, accompanied by a horrifying sound of whipping, reached Ye Haochuan’s ears.

Without turning his head, Ye Haochuan knew it was a North Peak disciple whipping the criminals, urging them to enter the Seal Demon Cave to collect Withered Demon Bloodstone.

The whipped burly man, covered in injuries, coughed repeatedly, indicating he was terminally ill, and even if Ye Haochuan intervened, saving him would be extremely difficult.

Seeing this scene, Ye Haochuan’s heart ached deeply.

Though he didn’t know the burly man, it reminded him of Xu Linglan’s plight.

If such a strong man could barely withstand the suffering, Xu Linglan’s situation might be far worse.

With this thought, Ye Haochuan no longer cared about being discovered and instantly activated his Perspective Eyes.

Under the Perspective Eyes, the cave’s situation quickly became apparent to Ye Haochuan.

This enormous underground tunnel network, composed of a maze-like network of veins, collectively formed a circular pattern.

At the center surrounded by the circular maze was a tall stele, engraved with the three characters, ”Seal Demon Stele.”

Obviously, all demonic qi origin was suppressed underneath this Seal Demon Stele.

Ye Haochuan’s Heavenly Eye rapidly traversed the labyrinthine passages, soon finding the figure he sought.

”Those damn bastards!”

Seeing Xu Linglan’s condition clearly, Ye Haochuan gnashed his teeth in anger.

At this moment, Xu Linglan’s face showed a peculiar bluish tinge; she was so weak, slumped in a corner with her chest barely rising and falling, evidently breathing out more than in.

Without hesitation, Ye Haochuan rushed into a nearby stone door, entering the Seal Demon Cave’s tunnel.

”Did someone just rush in?” A North Peak disciple asked dumbfounded.

”Seems like it!”

Another disciple, equally bewildered, said, ”Someone actually chose to enter the demon cave to die voluntarily, must be another guy tired of living!”

After speaking, the two exchanged glances, seeing mockery in each other’s eyes.

Although they were the gatekeepers, they didn’t oversee preventing entries; after all, no one would foolishly go in to die.

Not far away, the cultivator who had been following Ye Haochuan curved a smile at the corner of his mouth, murmuring, ”The boss was really smart, this guy indeed has problems!”

After speaking, the cultivator took out the Jade Mirror, sending a message to the middle-aged cultivator.

”Most inside the cave are Hua Clan remnants; since this guy went inside to save someone, he’s undoubtedly a Hua Clan remnant too. Gather everyone to surround the cave entrances and wait to capture!”

The middle-aged cultivator appeared quite pleased.

Upon entering the Seal Demon Cave, Ye Haochuan immediately felt surrounded by a powerful demonic qi, resembling countless Bone-Corrosive Demon Insects, eager to penetrate a cultivator’s body upon contact.

Once possessed by the demonic qi, it transforms into a parasitic scourge, difficult to expel, causing irreparable damage until the cultivator’s vitality is completely severed.

Ye Haochuan felt unsettled, unsure whether he could resist the demonic qi’s corrosion.

But he certainly underestimated; his Vajra Body, though unable to wholly block the demonic qi penetration, could significantly slow its invasion at full operation.

At this rate, he could stay here an entire day without receiving more demonic qi than others in an hour.

Even so, he dared not linger a second longer; he wasn’t afraid of the demonic qi, but Xu Linglan might be!

”Damn, this maze is too treacherous!”

After advancing several minutes in the tunnels, Ye Haochuan cursed.

The tunnels were intricate, and even with Perspective Eyes, he frequently got lost.

All the people he encountered along the way appeared gaunt, mechanically searching the tunnels for Withered Demon Bloodstone.

Though these people hadn’t fully lost their sanity to the demonic qi, they were no different from walking corpses.

Ye Haochuan wasn’t a Saint, but it was hard for him to disregard this, considering most here were Hua Clan members, his compatriots!

Nonetheless, he didn’t stop; Xu Linglan was in dire peril, and he couldn’t afford to waste a single second.

Ye Haochuan, anxious and desperate, sprinted vigorously, forming a ghostly shadow in the tunnels.

Finally, he successfully arrived before Xu Linglan.

”Not good, she’s fading fast!”

Seeing Xu Linglan barely clinging to life, Ye Haochuan’s heart twisted painfully.
