Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2279: The Reappearance of Shentu Fu
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
Upon hearing the words of the middle-aged man in golden armor, Ye Haochuan’s heart sank suddenly.
He clearly did not have a clan tablet, and he believed it wasn’t just him but all the members of the Hua Clan were without one. Once discovered, he feared the other side wouldn’t listen to any explanations and would instead kill them on the spot.
The most chilling part was that he could feel a formidable divine sense perception had already spread out, capturing the movements of everyone present.
He dared not use his Minor World here because if he disappeared, he would undoubtedly be discovered immediately. He couldn’t believe such a potent place as the Temple would be helpless against a Minor World.
Just as he was feeling conflicted, he suddenly felt something cold in his hand. Looking down, he saw it was a clan tablet.
"What’s going on?" Ye Haochuan was surprised and quickly glanced around.
But everyone around him looked tense, waiting for final judgment, and none seemed like they would give him a token.
Suddenly, a voice transmission rang in his mind: "This clan tablet has been specially treated by me; just drop your blood on it without worry."
"Shentu Fu?" Ye Haochuan was a bit taken aback. The Temple was purging members of the Hua Clan, and as one of the most successful among them, shouldn’t this person be more careful? Why come here and create a scene?
He didn’t have time to think more as he suddenly felt a dangerous aura approaching. A closer look revealed a Golden Feather Guard at the True Immortal Mid-Stage flying towards him.
He had not activated his clan tablet, making him a target for this Golden Feather Guard’s purge.
Ye Haochuan dared not hesitate, used Flower Energy to cut his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it onto the clan tablet.
In the next moment, the iron token that appeared ordinary started to emit a soft glow. Within the glow, small characters appeared, writing a string of names.
The Golden Feather Guard was already extremely close to Ye Haochuan and was about to strike him down, but suddenly saw the clan tablet light up, furrowed his brows, seemingly displeased, but still retracted his attack and turned his attention to other individuals.
Ye Haochuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief; had this person attacked him out of anger, he wouldn’t fear this True Immortal Mid-Stage cultivator, but it could easily provoke the middle-aged man in golden armor, which would surely mean death.
Hundreds, even thousands, of True Immortal experts worked extremely fast, ending the purge within minutes.
The area around the Blood Platform, originally crowded with people, had become sparse. Corpses on the ground accounted for at least half of the total number.
Just as Zhu Kuang said, clan tablets were simply too ancient, and many people no longer took them seriously. These people became innocent victims in this slaughter.
The remaining half of the survivors now had pale faces. Even some Noble Clan True Immortal cultivators who were accustomed to life and death couldn’t help but change color seeing such a scene.
The entire Qianyun City, due to this purge, left the population less than a third; how horrifying was this?
The middle-aged man in golden armor and his subordinates saw this scene, and didn’t furrow their brows even slightly. After exchanging a few words with Zhu Kuang, they leisurely left for the next town.
The moment they left, all sorts of cries and sobs echoed throughout Qianyun City. When the Golden Feather Guards were here, they dared not utter a word, even if their relatives were being slaughtered.
Zhu Kuang, with a face full of darkness, suddenly walked up to Ye Haochuan and coldly said, "Follow me!"
Ye Haochuan roughly guessed the reason, and followed Zhu Kuang to a hidden basement, where he indeed saw that familiar face.
"Senior Shentu, I have brought him here!" Zhu Kuang looked at the man with half-black, half-white hair in front of him, his eyes full of complex emotions.
Shentu Fu seemed to know Zhu Kuang’s thoughts and smiled, "Rest assured, before the Half-Mountain Residence incident, I had already sent your son out of Half-Mountain. But now is a tense time, it would be better to wait a bit before returning."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Kuang visibly relaxed and then smiled, "Senior Shentu’s kindness, Yours Truly Zhu remembers. You two chat, I won’t disturb."
After speaking, Zhu Kuang had already turned and left, leaving only Ye Haochuan and Shentu Fu in the basement.
"What exactly happened?" Ye Haochuan also sensed something unusual and asked.
Shentu Fu gave a bitter smile and said, "Half-Mountain Residence has been concealed for so many years, weathered countless tests by the Temple, but no one thought that this time, it would fail in the gutter, ruined by Li Qi."
"Li Qi?" Ye Haochuan’s brow furrowed sharply.
This guy used schemes and replaced him and Ju Yuqu, becoming the Ninth Disciple of the Half-Mountain Residence’s Filial Sect. No one expected this guy, who joined the Half-Mountain Residence just over a year ago, would expose the secrets of Half-Mountain Residence.
Shentu Fu expressed regret, roughly explaining past events to Ye Haochuan.
The greatest secret of Half-Mountain Residence was the Hua Clan identity. Ju Yuqu had been dispatched by the Temple to participate in the Disciple Selection Meeting because there were suspicions about Half-Mountain Residence, aiming to infiltrate and investigate some clues.
Due to Ye Haochuan’s sudden appearance, Ju Yuqu ultimately couldn’t enter Half-Mountain Residence, essentially thwarting the Temple’s plot. The people of Half-Mountain Residence also relaxed their guard because of this.
Originally, Li Qi was merely a substitute for Ye Haochuan and wasn’t valued by Half-Mountain Residence, let alone allowed to access core secrets.
Yet, unexpectedly, this guy was intelligent, gleaning hints from conversations with fellow disciples. Then, he went to the Temple with speculations, even suggesting capturing Liu Yifei for interrogation.
Liu Yifei, as the granddaughter of Manor Master Liu Bai, knew a lot and had low cultivation, making her easy to target.
Liu Yifei knew her importance and never stepped out of Half-Mountain Residence. But this time, Li Qi deceitfully claimed Shu Longyue was gravely injured, needing her rescue. She acted carelessly, fell for Li Qi’s trick, and was captured by disguised Temple experts just outside the mountain gate.
Next events were predictable; no matter how strong her will, Liu Yifei couldn’t withstand the experts’ soul searches, ultimately revealing all Half-Mountain Residence’s secrets to the Temple.
"That bastard!" Ye Haochuan was furious, greatly regretting not killing this guy during the Disciple Selection Meeting.
If that guy had died, or simply not been selected, Half-Mountain Residence wouldn’t have fallen into this situation.
"What should be done now?" After a long pause, Ye Haochuan asked with a troubled face.
The Temple was purging Hua Clan cultivators, not just Half-Mountain Residence, he too was becoming a street rat hunted by everyone, how could he continue in the Immortal Realm?
"I came for this matter!"
Shentu Fu straightened and said, "Everyone in Half-Mountain Residence is being tightly monitored. There’s an urgent task that needs handling, and after thinking it over, only you can accomplish it."
