Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2108: Joining the Guild

"I intended to capture these two Kirins solely to obtain some of their essential blood for alchemy. Regrettably, their lack of trust compelled us to resort to forceful measures!" the beautiful woman explained, a hint of wistfulness in her voice.

Ye Haochuan found himself nearly inclined to believe her words, but upon further reflection, he discerned no motive for her to mislead him at this juncture.

Nonetheless, given that Yinfeng's and the Ice Jade Kirin's safety was at stake, Ye Haochuan resolved to proceed with utmost caution.

"To ensure trustworthiness, you should swear a blood oath!" Ye Haochuan proposed, his tone guarded.

"Do you truly possess the standing to negotiate terms with me?" the beautiful woman retorted indignantly, her eyes gleaming.

"Absolutely!" Ye Haochuan affirmed with his head held high. "Because should I refuse, finding the other Kirin will be entirely out of your reach!"

A flicker of displeasure crossed the beautiful woman's face. However, after a brief period of contemplation, she managed to extract a drop of blood and solemnly swore the blood oath.

"Very well, I consent to aiding you in opposing the Holy See in the future. However, joining the Sky Hunting Association is out of the question; I have no desire for such constraints!" Ye Haochuan stated calmly.

Upon hearing his declaration, the beautiful woman's brow creased. "Why do you refuse to join the Sky Hunting Association? Our organization possesses ample resources that could expedite your advancement. You..."

"I've already told you, I loathe being tied down!" Ye Haochuan insisted firmly. "As for resources, I shall procure them myself. Rest assured, my progression will undoubtedly match or even surpass your expectations!"

Observing Ye Haochuan's resolute demeanor, the beautiful woman let out a sigh of resignation. "You are quite a stubborn individual! Fine, I can grant you the honorary title of Guest Elder within the Sky Hunting Association. Typically, you will be exempt from assigned tasks and may act as you please!"

Ye Haochuan was taken aback by her unexpected concession and regarded the beautiful woman with renewed scrutiny, puzzled as to why she would so readily accede to his terms.

Nevertheless, recognizing the sincerity of her offer, Ye Haochuan felt compelled to reciprocate and ultimately gave his assent.

Subsequently, Ye Haochuan liberated the Ice Jade Kirin from the confines of the small golden coffin and apprIised him of the prevailing situation.

The Ice Jade Kirin harbored skepticism towards the beautiful woman's account but placed his trust in Ye Haochuan, agreeing to offer a portion of his essential blood.

"Welcome to the Sky Hunting Association!" The Director, summoned by the beautiful woman, shed his earlier solemnity and addressed Ye Haochuan with warmth. "With your inclusion, our objective of dismantling the dominion of the two Holy Sees draws significantly nearer!"

Ye Haochuan responded with polite affirmation before posing a sudden inquiry: "Incidentally, I am curious about the current strength of the primary forces within the two Holy Sees?"

This question had been posed before.

Rui'er had provided an answer, but due to her limited standing, she only had knowledge of eight-winged angels and their exact numbers remained unknown to her.

The Director and the beautiful woman exchanged a knowing glance. Seeing her nod of assent, he divulged, "Within the two Holy Sees, there exist no fewer than sixteen eight-winged angels. Furthermore, prevailing rumors suggest the presence of a mysterious progenitor, who is believed to be a sixteen-winged angel!"

"A sixteen-winged angel? How formidable would such a being be?" Ye Haochuan inquired with evident curiosity.

"An eight-winged angel already commands the might equivalent to the Early Stage of the True Immortal realm. A sixteen-winged entity would possess power commensurate with at least the Mid-Stage, perhaps even the Late Stage, of the True Immortal realm!" the Director stated, his expression grave.

Ye Haochuan's brow furrowed upon absorbing this information.

The pinnacle combat strength in this world indeed did not reach the same exaggerated levels as in the Immortal Realm. However, even a mid-stage True Immortal realm cultivator represented a formidable power, posing a significant challenge in the Immortal Realm, making them difficult to contend with!

"And your own capabilities..."

"I currently reside at the Early Stage of the True Immortal realm!" The Director, comprehending Ye Haochuan's unspoken question, replied. "Moreover, within the entirety of the Sky Hunting Association, I stand as the sole expert at the True Immortal realm!"

Ye Haochuan couldn't help but cast a glance towards the beautiful woman.

He surmised that this woman's strength was certainly not inferior to the Director's, yet for reasons unknown, she maintained a veil of secrecy, refraining from disclosing any hints of her power.

The beautiful woman offered Ye Haochuan a gentle smile. "To be candid, a considerable disparity persists between our strength and that of the two Holy Sees. However, should our current endeavor prove successful, it is not beyond the realm of possibility for the Director to achieve a breakthrough to the Mid-Stage of the True Immortal realm. At that point, the gulf separating us from the Holy See's forces will be substantially narrowed!"

"Understood!" Ye Haochuan responded, his mind engaged in thoughtful consideration.

He perceived that realizing the aspiration of overthrowing the two Holy Sees would likely necessitate a considerable span of time.

During this interval, he certainly could not afford to idle away his time here; his primary objective was to discover a method for returning to the Immortal Realm, ascertain the well-being of Long Keyue and the others, and then make his way back.

If circumstances became dire, he would requisition the aid of Shentu Fu and simply eradicate the two Holy Sees. With that individual’s enigmatic capabilities, annihilating the two Holy Sees would likely be as simple as a flick of the wrist.

"Very well, the hour grows late; you should retire for the evening and might as well get acquainted with your fellow brothers within the association!" the Director remarked with a convivial smile, subsequently summoning the steel-mustached man to escort Ye Haochuan to his quarters.

In an effort to assuage Ye Haochuan, the beautiful woman also ordained that the Ice Jade Kirin accompany him and presented him with the jade token wherein Yinfeng currently resided.

Yinfeng had expended his own essence and blood in sacrifice, and though the beautiful woman managed to salvage the majority of his energy in the nick of time, he could no longer manifest a physical form as he once did and was thus confined to dwelling within the jade token.

While this outcome was regrettable, it was undoubtedly preferable to Yinfeng facing utter annihilation. Furthermore, Ye Haochuan harbored intentions of diligently collecting rare natural treasures henceforth to facilitate Yinfeng's restoration to his former self.

Yinfeng, however, remained largely unperturbed by this turn of events, feeling profoundly grateful for having escaped what he believed to be certain doom.

Following an arduous and intense confrontation, Ye Haochuan experienced a considerable sense of depletion, and having just achieved a breakthrough to the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage, he urgently needed to consolidate his newfound level.

Consequently, after the steel-mustached man led Ye Haochuan to a commodious chamber, Ye Haochuan promptly commenced his cultivation practice.

"Hmph, I genuinely fail to comprehend the Director's reasoning; this fellow decimated so many of our brethren, yet instead of facing retribution, he is welcomed into our ranks!" The steel-mustached man, having just departed from Ye Haochuan's assigned domicile, found himself encircled by his associates.

Upon hearing these sentiments, the steel-mustached man's own ire was ignited, yet he maintained a measured composure and responded, "I surmise the Director's actions are strategically aimed at securing the second Kirin, and with the second Kirin now liberated, I anticipate the Director will soon make a move against this individual!"

"I am uncertain of the nature of the discussion between Madam and this fellow within, but if their intention truly is not to eliminate him, does that not render the demise of our comrades utterly in vain?"

"Perhaps we should discreetly take matters into our own hands, seize an opportune moment, and dispatch this individual ourselves?"

The instant this suggestion was voiced, an immediate counterargument arose: "Are you jesting? That individual is formidable, and our prospects for success would be rather slim even in a surprise attack, wouldn't they?"

At this juncture, a palpable gloom descended upon everyone's countenances.

Prior to ascending to the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage, Ye Haochuan had already demonstrably surpassed them in combat prowess. Now, with his advanced cultivation, he could undoubtedly subdue them with effortless ease, leaving them utterly devoid of any viable opportunity.

"Ah, indeed!" The steel-mustached man, as if struck by a sudden revelation, let out a sinister chuckle. "While we may be incapable of defeating him directly, we can certainly employ a borrowed blade to end him!"

"You imply Dennis..." The others appeared to grasp his veiled meaning.

The steel-mustached man affirmed with a nod, "Precisely, Dennis! Dennis stands as the Director's most adept subordinate. Eliminating this fellow surnamed Ye would be comparatively simple for him!"

"That may be so, but Dennis bears no personal animosity towards this individual; why then would he consent to assist us in dispatching this Ye?"

"No grievances? We can engineer such grievances!" the steel-mustached man chortled. "Although Dennis possesses exceptional martial skill, his intellect is somewhat rudimentary. Manipulating the situation with a modicum of cunning should not prove overly arduous?"

As he articulated these words, the steel-mustached man cast a malevolent gaze in the direction of Ye Haochuan's chambers, his eyes gleaming with dark intent.
