Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1531: Chapter 1167: You Think the Mortal World Has No One? Kill!

Outside the City Lord’s Mansion, the plaza teemed with people, more spectacular than any previous elimination rounds!

In the semifinals of the Nirvana Martial Contest, masters of the Primordial Transformative Realm from the Hidden World Clans would appear. This was a critical match to determine whether Southern Emperor Gu Changsheng could continue standing on the stage of the Nirvana Martial Contest, whether she could secure the position of First.

Citizens from Linyuan City and even surrounding towns made the effort to come!

They wanted to witness the strength of the Primordial Transformative Realm masters, to broaden their horizons, and, more importantly, to see if Southern Emperor Changsheng, the dragon and phoenix among people, though nominally from Medicine King Valley, but truly from their mundane world, could stand until the end...

Although they didn’t want to admit it, they were painfully aware that while the Southern Emperor was indeed powerful—powerful enough to ascend to the Nine-Layer high status with the body of a woman—still in terms of strength, compared to the Primordial Transformative Realm masters of the Hidden World Clans, she was not quite a match!

This martial contest, originally, was without suspense!

Yet, in the hearts of the crowd that came to spectate, there was a faint note of resentment!

Why?

Why should the proud daughter of the mundane world lose to the offspring of the Hidden World Clans?

She was the Southern Emperor, high in the esteem of the people!

In the eyes of millions in this mundane world, she was akin to a mountain!

Nearly a creed!

How could their belief lose?

How could it lose to the Hidden World Clans?

They were discontent!

The countless spectators gathered in clusters, and amidst the jostling, each face bore a trace of disappointment!

”Look! People from the Hidden World Clans are entering!”

Someone shouted, pointing to the edge of the plaza, and at once, everyone turned to look where the finger indicated!

Sure enough, the crowd was forcibly parted by several servant boys...

”Make way!”

”Dare to block the elders’ path! Move aside!”

”...”

The tone of command was as always, completely aloof and disdainful!

This is the Hidden World Clans!

Walking in the mundane world, their superiority seemed innate!

”What’s all the fuss? Aren’t they just the Hidden World Clans? Our Southern Emperor, our Crown Prince Mu, or the City Lord walked amongst us without such arrogance! Who said we must yield to you?” A commoner, shoved aside by a servant boy, steadied himself and spoke with defiance.

”Hmph! Southern Emperor? Crown Prince? City Lord? Didn’t you also have to clear the path when they passed? Not only that, you had to bow reverently. So what, making way for our Hidden World Clans is out of the question?” The servant boy sneered in response.

”You!” Upon hearing this, the commoner grew agitated, ”We make way for them willingly! We bow reverently to them because it’s deserved! They’ve held up the world for us, created a prosperous era so we can live peacefully. What about you? What does the Hidden World Clan count as? Hidden away and acting high and mighty, with a few masters, you think you’re remarkable? I’ll tell you, the Southern Emperor will defeat you, let’s see if you dare stay arrogant!”

”Ha! Ridiculous!” The servant boy laughed arrogantly at this, glanced at the commoner with disdain, ”Your Southern Emperor can defeat us? That’s the biggest joke I’ve heard! Don’t hold too much hope for your Southern Emperor, she’ll undoubtedly lose this battle! Just wait for your high-up Southern Emperor to fall at the feet of our Hidden World Clan’s proud children, like a weed!”

”You!”

Upon hearing this, the commoner was infuriated, rolling up his sleeves ready to brawl.

The surrounding populace, upon hearing the servant boy’s words, were equally indignant.

The atmosphere suddenly grew tense and charged.

”What? Want to fight? I may be just a servant of the Hidden World Clans, but compared to me, you’re mere ants!”

The elders and young disciples of the Hidden World Clans had already walked past, surrounded by their servants.

Yet, this servant boy remained, wanting to dispute superiority with the spectators!

”You!”

”Excessively bullying! The Hidden World Clans, excessively bullying!”

”Fight him! So what if they’re from Hidden World Clans? This is the mundane world, not their hidden mountains, who’s afraid of them?”

”Fight!”

”Fight!”

”...”

The servant boy, seeing the crowd around him gearing up for a fight, seemed not afraid, but rather sneered arrogantly, ”Haha... truly hilarious, a bunch of ants daring to challenge the Hidden World Clans? Even your Southern Emperor will lose today, what can you do to me? Ridiculously overestimating yourselves, inviting disgrace!”

The crowd was seething, their faces flushed with anger upon hearing this!

”An ant dares to be arrogant in the mundane world, truly an admirable upbringing by the Hidden World Clans!”

Just as everyone exchanged glances, gathering the courage to follow the Servant Boy into a fierce fight, a cold voice drifted from afar...

The next instant, the indignant crowd felt a red shadow flash before their eyes, so fast they couldn’t clearly see how it passed through the throng of people...

”Mere ants dare to act arrogantly in the mortal world! Do you really think that in my vast territory, there’s no one capable?”

Delicate jade-like hands gripped the neck of the Servant Boy. Gu Changsheng, in a red embroidered robe, with a long skirt trailing on the ground, wore a blood-red veil on her face, obscuring her features beneath those Phoenix Eyes. Only her lightly touched up eyebrows and deep, ocean-like cold eyes were visible...

”South... Southern Emperor...”

His neck trapped in Gu Changsheng’s hands, the Servant Boy suddenly panicked, his eyes widened with fear.

Southern Emperor!

The Southern Emperor actually came!

She actually came to participate in the Nirvana Martial Contest!

Knowing full well that the Hidden World Clan would send out a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm, knowing they were sure to lose, they all thought the Southern Emperor wouldn’t come...

Yet, she appeared here!

In that instant, the Servant Boy was scared and looked towards the platform. There, the Elders of the Hidden World Clan and most of the young disciples were already seated. He opened his mouth, wanting to cry for help...

But how could Gu Changsheng give him the chance?

”An insignificant being like an ant dares to sully my name, Southern Emperor, insult my people, and deserves death!”

Her voice was as cold as being soaked in ice...

One ’deserves death’ made the Servant Boy’s eyes almost pop out!

But the next moment, he didn’t even have room to struggle. A cracking sound came from his neck!

”In my vast world, though the subjects serve different rulers, they too must not be insulted! Any who think there are no people of the mortal world to reckon with, I, Gu Changsheng, will kill one upon meeting one, kill two upon meeting a pair! The Hidden World Clan is no exception! Let heaven and earth bear witness!”

Delicate jade-like hands slowly moved away from the Servant Boy’s neck...

As she watched the Servant Boy fall like a kite with a broken string, spitting blood, rolling his eyes with no sign of life and hitting the ground, Gu Changsheng stood high above, her slender form blazing like fire, making people afraid to gaze directly, her ink-black hair dancing behind her, an aura of Holy Gold at her brow, igniting the view...

Silence...

With the fall of the Servant Boy, an eerie silence suddenly enveloped the surroundings...

The crowd, originally filled with righteous indignation, watched the woman in the center, who seemed to compete with the sun and moon, and for a moment, they stood stunned, not knowing how to express the surging emotions in their hearts...

”Southern Emperor!”

Someone called out the words huskily, and in the next moment, everyone began to chant ”Southern Emperor”...

Moreover, the voice grew louder and louder!

Like a stone causing a thousand ripples, centering on Gu Changsheng, the sound quickly spread, sweeping through the entire square...

On the platform, the Elders of the Hidden World Clan were happily chatting away. With two Masters of the Primordial Transformative Realm appearing, they were certain of victory in the semifinals and weren’t worried at all. But at that moment, there was a disturbance beneath the platform, the call for the Southern Emperor echoed, growing from far to near, from low to high, until it was deafening, causing them a moment of distraction...

”Southern Emperor!”

”Southern Emperor!”

”Southern Emperor!”

”...”

The mountains echo with the call of the Southern Emperor, as if trying to awaken the entire Linyuan City, resounding throughout this land.

And Gu Changsheng stood there, her red clothes fluttering, long hair flying, with a cold expression, immovable like a mountain...

”Southern Emperor!”

”Southern Emperor!”

”...”

The calls constantly echoed, making the faces of the Hidden World Clan members on the platform grow darker and darker...

In the side viewing platform at the top of the platform, the Hidden World Clan Elders were all gritting their teeth!

”She actually dared to come! She really dared to come!”

”This is outrageous! Outrageous! She relies on her status as the Southern Emperor to incite the common people? These people are simply foolish! Idiots!”

”What if these people support her? Today, no matter what, she’ll lose! Not just lose, but lose utterly!”

”What if Wu Xi returns? For the sake of the Hidden World Clan’s prestige, even if he seeks me for revenge afterward, I must let my family’s youngster give that Gu Changsheng a harsh lesson!” Elder Yuh slammed the table in anger, speaking in a deep voice.

”Same here!” Bai Wuao, the head of the Bai Family sitting next to Elder Yuh, said gloomily, slightly bowing his head to conceal the calculation in his eyes...
