The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 4181: Chapter 4181: My Name, Ye Chen (Third Update)

As he fixed his gaze, he saw that the attacker was a bizarre snake with an exceedingly strange appearance, sporting a pair of black horns on its head and covered in purple-black scales!

This strange snake was clearly a Nether Beast!

Moreover, its power was far from weak, being an existence of the early-stage Qiankun Realm!

However, what shocked Ye Chen the most was not the power of this strange snake, but that a Nether Beast at the early-stage Qiankun Realm could actually discover his presence?

It’s worth noting that even a typical late-stage Qiankun Realm existence couldn’t detect him after he had used the Soul-devouring Seal!

Moreover, before the strange snake attacked, even with his strong divine soul, he hadn’t detected the slightest hint!

This Nether Beast was indeed extraordinarily mysterious!

However, since he had discovered this Nether Beast, with Ye Chen’s current power, there was nothing to fear.

At this moment, the Nether Beast’s eyes flickered with a cold light and a hint of greed, its body flexed once more, transforming into a black arrow, shooting swiftly towards Ye Chen.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen snorted coldly, not even revealing his trump card, his body enveloped in demonic energy and Silver Flames. With a casual swipe, he slashed towards the Nether Beast!

In the next moment, the sword edge collided with the Nether Beast’s body, sparking a series of sparks on its scales, clearly demonstrating the extreme hardness of these scales!

But, in an instant, the greed in the Nether Beast’s eyes was quickly replaced by a look of terror!

A tremendous force surged from the sword edge into its body instantly, and before its body could fly away, it exploded with a boom under this single strike, dispersing into a mist of blood...

Ye Chen slowly retracted the Dragonslayer Sword and continued to move forward.

Yet, what he hadn’t expected was that the discovery of his presence by the snake-shaped Nether Beast was obviously not a coincidence!

Subsequently, Ye Chen was subjected to several more attacks by Nether Beasts, and he even engaged in a fierce battle with a Nether Beast that had just crossed into the ninth-level Daoyuan realm, only managing to kill it by relying on Burning Heaven!

After walking in this Ancient Nether Forest for an entire day and night, Ye Chen suddenly paused on a Big Tree, halting his movement.

He furrowed his eyebrows slightly, gazing in a certain direction within the forest, and saw a magnificently decorated sedan chair come into view!

Carrying the sedan were two young men clad in black, their complexions somewhat greenish, with an indescribably sinister aura about them.

Ye Chen looked at these two men, his gaze flashing; they struck him as very strange, seemingly human yet not, like ghosts yet not, the most important aspect being that they actually exuded no weak demonic energy?

Moreover, these two were also extraordinarily powerful!

Judging by their appearance, both under a thousand years of age, they were indeed beings of the sixth-level Qiankun Realm!

Behind the sedan followed an old man with a similarly greenish complexion, with a full head of white hair and ash-white pupils...

This old man looked as if he was nearing the end of his days, but the moment Ye Chen saw him, his heart jumped fiercely!

This person was actually a powerhouse of the Primordial Origin Realm!

Ye Chen asked Fairy Xuan Han Yu, "Fairy Xuan, do you know the origins of these individuals?"

Fairy Xuan Han Yu spoke, "If I’m not mistaken, these individuals hail from the Hundred Desolate Mountain! They belong to the Mountain Ghost Clan! These Mountain Ghosts are not quite human, not quite ghost, or quite demon, yet their power is not to be underestimated! They are one of the five great demonic beast families of the Hundred Desolate Mountain!

Originally, based on my speculation, the most likely to arrive here would also be the Mountain Ghost Clan, after all, they bear some resemblance to the true spirits, and the Netherworld King Relics have extraordinary significance to them."

At this moment, a voice as melodious and gentle as a silver bell suddenly came from within the sedan, saying, "Uncle Liang, we’ve been traveling for quite a while, let’s rest here for a moment."

The old man behind the sedan listened, and his grey-white eyes seemed to flicker momentarily, then nodded.

The two young men put down the sedan, started a fire, and took out some pitch-black beast meat, which emitted an aura identical to that of the Nether Beasts, precisely the beast meat of those Nether Beasts.

Seeing this, Ye Chen’s brow furrowed again; having reached such a realm of martial arts cultivation, would merely carrying a sedan chair require any rest?

Moreover, how convenient was it that they just happened to stop and rest right beneath the tree where he was hiding?

Ye Chen’s expression grew somewhat grave; could it be he had been discovered?

At this moment, a woman stepped out from the sedan, causing Ye Chen to momentarily pause even at the sight of her!

This woman, unlike the others, had exceptionally fair skin, her full head of verdant hair adorned with beautiful flowers, and wearing a vibrant emerald robe, she exuded a fresh and natural aura, as if she were a forest elf!

Her face was extraordinarily beautiful, almost otherworldly, and vaguely different from humans; if Ye Chen had to describe her, she resembled the exotic beauties from those fantasy stories on the plane.

This appearance and aura gave her an overwhelmingly alluring charm!

Yet suddenly, the woman’s gaze aligned with Ye Chen’s, her emerald-like eyes carrying a hint of amusement as she said, "You’ve been watching for quite some time, young master; why not come down and join us for a meal?"

Ye Chen’s heart sank; indeed, he had been discovered!

His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he moved, dispelling the Invisibility Technique, landing in front of the woman.

The woman, with a playful look, sized Ye Chen up for a moment, then asked, "What is your name?"

Ye Chen looked at the woman, his eyes flashing once more!

This woman too was under a thousand years but already possessed the power of the eighth-level Qiankun Realm!

He spoke blandly, "Ye Chen."

The two young men behind the woman, one named Gui Ping, the other Gui Xin, were exceedingly outstanding among the young generation of the Mountain Ghost Clan!

This woman’s status in the Mountain Ghost Clan was extremely noble, with only the most exceptional young talents qualifying to stay by her side.

Gui Ping’s eyes were long and narrow, his face sinister, carrying a mischievous glint, and upon hearing this, he sneered, "A human waste of the Holy Ancestor Realm dares to spy on us; miss, why don’t I just kill him?"

Gui Xin and the old man said nothing, but judging by their expressions, they clearly didn’t oppose Gui Ping’s suggestion.

To them, a human of such weak power was indifferent between living or dying.

Killing him would merely save trouble.

Hearing this, Ye Chen’s gaze gradually sharpened, spiritual energy secretly circulating within, ready to reveal his trump card at any moment, his entire being like an arrow on a taut bowstring, poised to strike!

But the exquisite woman merely smiled lightly, ignoring Gui Ping, and continued to ask Ye Chen, "Have you come to this Ancient Nether Forest to head to that Ghost Forest Ancient City?"

Ye Chen appeared calm, yet his eyes flickered slightly.

The Ghost Forest Ancient City was a profoundly ancient Imperial City within the Ancient Nether Forest.

This Ancient Nether Forest housed ancient inhabitants dating back to a very distant era, who even established a once-thriving Imperial City!

At its peak, the Ghost Forest Ancient City was in no way inferior to some of the grand cities within the Heavenly Human Domain!
