The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 4142: Chapter 4142: Elder Yong’s Suspicion (Third Update)

Thousands of miles away from the Xuantian Sword Tomb, here lies a desolate valley, devoid of any life, shrouded in dead silence.

Ye Chen appeared in the valley, surveyed his surroundings, and involuntarily frowned slightly. The aura of the valley made him somewhat uncomfortable. At the moment, he had no interest in exploring the source of the aura and directly soared into the air, fleeing in the opposite direction of the Xuantian Sword Tomb.

A hundred miles away from the valley, Ye Chen saw a city. It was the largest city nearby, named Tongtian City. Because the city housed an ancient divine tree, it aspires to connect heaven and earth, although it’s merely half-complete.

This ancient divine tree is called the Heaven-connecting Divine Wood. Legend has it that it can connect heaven and earth, and those who ascend to its treetop can instantly transcend, dominate the universe, and roam the Ten Thousand Realms freely.

Precisely because of this, a giant of ancient martial arts took action, deliberately cutting down the tree crown of the Heaven-connecting Divine Wood, severing people’s path to transcendence through it.

Ye Chen did not believe in this legend, but the Heaven-connecting Divine Wood did indeed appear grand and magnificent. The entire Tongtian City was built atop the Heaven-connecting Divine Wood, enshrouded in mist, resembling a divine city in the sky.

Ye Chen casually found an inn in Tongtian City to temporarily settle down, ordered some food, and at this time, Xuan Jiyue was oppressing the Bloodline Origin of the Double-eyed Nightmare in the Dead Spirit Hall.

Consequently, Ye Chen had just ordered his food and had not had a chance to enjoy it when he witnessed a terrifying phenomenon that shook the Outer Realm, causing heaven and earth to tremble.

At this moment, the sky was engulfed in darkness, all light seemingly devoured, and a pair of soul-stirring eyes filled with the essence of destruction appeared before everyone.

One red!

One blue!

At this moment, the entire Outer Realm was in turmoil because a shadowy figure of the Double-eyed Nightmare, which made everyone tremble with fear, appeared in the Void. Everyone knew that this phenomenon would only occur when the Bloodline Origin of the Double-eyed Nightmare emerged.

The Bloodline Origin possesses an incomparable influence over any martial artist. Everyone desires to obtain the Bloodline Origin, thus at this moment, countless figures soared into the air, rushing at full speed towards the direction from which the phenomenon emanated.

Like everyone else, Ye Chen saw the phenomenon of the Bloodline Origin’s emergence and his eyes showed a fervent glow. His desire for the Bloodline Origin surpassed any other, for he knew clearly that as long as he obtained this drop of Bloodline Origin, Little Gold could fully awaken and grow into a Double-eyed Nightmare.

Throughout the heavenly realm, countless powerful entities advanced towards the location of the phenomenon. The entire Outer Realm was set ablaze by the emergence of the Bloodline Origin. Ye Chen watched the numerous figures flying across the sky, the fighting spirit in his eyes surged up, and he too soared into the air.

Ye Chen was determined to seize the Bloodline Origin, no matter who the opponent might be, he would fight with all his might. The Bloodline Origin must be his, and only his!

Following the flow of people, Ye Chen advanced rapidly, but before he could approach the location of the phenomenon, he suddenly found that many figures that had rushed ahead and occupied the lead had already returned.

"What is happening? Could it be that the Bloodline Origin has already been seized by someone?"

Ye Chen frowned, sensing something ominous. What kind of presence could seize the Bloodline Origin and cause so many martial artists to immediately abandon, without even the intention of competing?

If such a powerful entity truly exists, even Ye Chen would find it difficult to deal with. If the Bloodline Origin falls into their hands, there might not be any further chance.

While Ye Chen was worried, he heard the voices of the returning strong fighters discussing.

"We thought our opportunity had come. Unexpectedly, this Bloodline Origin is in the Dead Spirit Hall. Who dares to seize it?"

"Alas, the Dead Spirit Hall is such a colossal entity, we cannot afford to provoke them. This Bloodline Origin can only be envied, but not enjoyed."

"Haha, do you still hold resentment in your heart? The Dead Spirit Hall is hailed by numerous major forces in the Outer Realm as the Assassin Hall, who dares to offend it? Better drop the idea!"

A multitude of comments rose up, Ye Chen’s expression became more solemn, things seemed more troublesome than he had envisaged.

The Bloodline Origin falling into the hands of a powerful presence might still allow a chance to fight for it, but in the hands of such a major force as the Dead Spirit Hall, it brings despair.

The Dead Spirit Hall’s reputation is too grandiose, even Ye Chen is well acquainted with its infamy. It’s the largest assassination organization in this domain, only recruiting the most elite assassins, the coldest monsters into its ranks.

It even shares certain connections with the mysterious Heavenly Human Domain!

The Hall Master of the Dead Spirit Hall, Qing Wanji, is a formidable figure, and also one of the most terrifying assassins. Nobody dares to offend Qing Wanji lightly, as that almost signifies certain death. Since Qing Wanji gained fame, no assassination target has ever escaped alive from his hands.

Such a Dead Spirit Hall makes anyone extremely wary, Ye Chen included.

At this time, upon learning that the Bloodline Origin resides within the Dead Spirit Hall, countless strong individuals who had intentions towards it retreated in defeat, not even daring to approach for a glance.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed, knowing that striking out alone would draw attention. If he ventured to the Dead Spirit Hall now, he would definitely be targeted, potentially inviting severe trouble.

Therefore, Ye Chen decided not to insist on going to the Dead Spirit Hall, instead following the crowd and turning back, returning to Tongtian City; after all, this matter requires careful planning.

Ye Chen returned to Tongtian City, hesitating all the way about whether to go to the Dead Spirit Hall to seize the Bloodline Origin or not. The Bloodline Origin is overly important to Little Gold. If Little Gold can get the Bloodline Origin and awaken as a Double-eyed Nightmare, it would be a significant support for him.

And yet, on the other hand, the Dead Spirit Hall is a powerful force, and its members are all cold-blooded assassins. Approaching such an organization would undeniably be extremely dangerous for Ye Chen.

As he pondered, Ye Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes. He saw the Eternal Sacred King standing on top of the Heaven-connecting Tree, surrounded by endless mist, solemnly gazing at Ye Chen.

"Elder Yong, why have you come?"

Ye Chen’s eyes showed surprise, and with a flash of his body, he soared upwards, reaching the top of the Heaven-connecting Tree, looking at the Eternal Sacred King.

"Naturally, it’s for the matter of the Bloodline Origin."

The Eternal Sacred King’s expression was slightly solemn, yet he seemed relaxed seeing Ye Chen: "Luckily, you didn’t go to the Dead Spirit Hall, otherwise, I fear I wouldn’t be waiting for you to return."

"Elder Yong, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Chen’s expression slightly tightened, sensing the dreadful crisis hinted within the Eternal Sacred King’s words.

"From what I understand, this drop of Bloodline Origin is very likely brought out by Xuan Jiyue."

The Eternal Sacred King looked at Ye Chen, his gaze incredibly profound: "I suspect this is Xuan Jiyue’s plot. She deliberately suppressed the Bloodline Origin in the Dead Spirit Hall to wait for you to step into the trap. Once you enter, not only won’t you acquire the Bloodline Origin, you may have to stay in the Dead Spirit Hall forever."
