Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1222 - 49: Who Is the Mole

The undercurrent of a power struggle between the Old Clan Chief of the Jiuluan Clan and the Young Clan Chief Lu was intensely stirring.

Meanwhile, Yun Sheng and Hua Yanluo, alongside three candidate Holy Daughters from Fengdu, engaged in a fierce confrontation. Qian Lang only became aware of the details upon his return to the inn that night.

"You injured Elder Liu’s granddaughter?" Upon hearing this news, Qian Lang felt as though the world was collapsing.

What truly astonished him was that the one who had defeated Liu Xueyu was not Hua Yanluo or Qin Yue, but the half-beast Medical Woman, Yun Sheng, who had accompanied the group.

"That’s correct, Lord Qian Lang. That woman has been concealing her true strength most effectively. This incident has truly ignited a great disaster, and her actions may very well lead to our ruin. Furthermore, Feng Lian, she even assumed your identity, participating as a candidate Heavenly Fox Saintess. I believe this was a meticulously planned scheme on her part," Qin Yue conveyed to Qian Lang with great exaggeration.

Reflecting on the situation, she felt a pang of regret. Elder Liu wielded considerable influence within the Elder Council, and due to her association with Yun Sheng, she had faced punishment from Elder Liu, feeling utterly wronged.

"Well, it has happened. The decision was made collectively by the three of us. To now place the blame solely on her, Qin Yue, you are truly heartless," Hua Yanluo admitted, despite her resentment towards Yun Sheng for securing two Sky Fox Inheritances and emerging as the primary beneficiary. She still maintained a sense of basic fairness.

Feng Lian cast a glance at Yun Sheng, choosing to remain silent.

"Alas, what has been done cannot be undone, and further discussion is futile. Ladies, particularly Doctor Yun, if there are no pressing matters in the coming days, it would be best for you to refrain from venturing out in the Hu Capital," Qian Lang expressed, feeling overwhelmed.

The turn of events had been extraordinarily sudden. He needed to dispatch a swift letter to inform Master Helai and then await the unfolding of the situation.

Yun Sheng pursed her lips, her expression one of indifference.

Regardless, without locating Ye Hu, she had no intention of lingering in the Hu Capital. She had successfully obtained two Sky Fox Inheritances and utilized the Demon God Transformation for the very first time.

The period preceding the Heavenly Fox Saintess selection ceremony presented an ideal juncture for her to enter a secluded cultivation.

However, following this competition, the demeanor of both Hua Yanluo and Qin Yue towards Yun Sheng underwent a significant alteration.

Hua Yanluo, in particular, regarded Yun Sheng with a transformed gaze, cautiously maintaining a distance whenever their paths crossed.

This woman had dared to obliterate Liu Xueyu with a Heavenly Thorns strike; who could tell when she might, without a moment's hesitation, shatter her to pieces as well.

Feng Lian, who had not been present, had not personally witnessed Yun Sheng's display of power.

As for Qin Yue, ever the opportunist, she harbored resentment upon observing Yun Sheng being the sole recipient of two Sky Fox Inheritances.

Qin Yue returned to her chambers and voiced her complaints to her attending maid.

"Miss, a letter was delivered while you were away," the maid said hurriedly, presenting a sealed envelope.

Qin Yue unfurled it, revealing it to be a correspondence from Elder Liu.

"Excellent, here's an opportunity, Elder Liu’s letter." Qin Yue casually scanned its contents and, upon recognizing the signature at the conclusion, her eyes suddenly illuminated.

It appeared that fate had not entirely closed off all avenues. She had been concerned about incurring Elder Liu's displeasure due to her entanglement with Yun Sheng, but unexpectedly, Elder Liu's letter stipulated that as long as she assisted him in dealing with Yun Sheng, he would offer his support to Qin Yue during the Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintess selection.

Elder Liu also mentioned the severity of his granddaughter Liu Xueyu’s injuries, deeming Fengdu's chances of victory slim. Perceiving Qin Yue as both beautiful and astute, he resolved to have her supplant Liu Xueyu.

This missive filled Qin Yue with elation.

The letter from Elder Liu directed her, as a preliminary step, to ascertain Yun Sheng's cultivation techniques and her vulnerabilities, thereby ensuring that they could effectively confront Yun Sheng when the opportune moment arrived.

"That woman is a Mage, specifically a Dark Mage. As long as Elder Liu can find a Light Mage, dealing with her should not prove overly difficult. As for her weaknesses, they likely lie with the Demon Beast accompanying her and that Medicine Gathering Boy," Qin Yue, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, promptly penned a reply and instructed the maid to dispatch it immediately.

"Yun Sheng, why should you, merely a Sky Fox Half-Beast, be the sole recipient of two Sky Fox Inheritances? I shall make you understand that in my presence, Qin Yue, no one can ever surpass me," Qin Yue declared with an air of smug satisfaction.

A similar letter was received not only by Qin Yue but also by Hua Yanluo.

After perusing its contents, she remained in silent contemplation.

"Miss, this presents a remarkable opportunity," Hua Yanluo’s maid remarked, aware that her mistress had seldom received significant attention from the Hua Family due to her status as an illegitimate offspring.

This development, she sensed, was a golden chance for her young lady to ascend.

"Burn this letter, and let's act as if we never saw it. No one is to reveal Elder Liu’s communication with us," Hua Yanluo’s command startled her maid.

"Miss, you aren't planning to collaborate with Elder Liu?"

"Ultimately, I belong to Cangdu. How can I serve those from Fengdu? If I betray Cangdu, even if I become a Saintess, I would have no shame facing my kin and friends back home. Moreover, this whole affair began because of me; that Yun woman merely seized an opportunity," while Hua Yanluo possessed a fiery temper, she also had a clear sense of right and wrong.

Raising a granddaughter like Liu Xueyu means Elder Liu is far from an ordinary individual.

Furthermore, Fengdu also has Lu Yunshuang. Could Elder Liu genuinely believe supporting her ascension would be simple?

Hua Yanluo, being a daughter born to a concubine in the Hua Family, had witnessed such intricate power struggles countless times.

If she allied with him, she would be stripped of everything, her very bones left to bleach. Hua Yanluo was not that naive.

"Elder Liu, that cunning old man, do you think he would only contact me? If my suspicion is correct, that fence-sitter Qin Yue must have also received the letter. She might even see this as a golden chance," Hua Yanluo scoffed, consigning the letter to the flames.

Meanwhile, within Yun Sheng's chambers, Bo Bo and Little Yingying, having played tirelessly throughout the day, had succumbed to exhaustion and fallen asleep.

To minimize any significant commotion, Yun Sheng simply retreated into the Linglong Beast Tower and released her Magic Souls.

After undergoing the Demon God Transformation for the first time, Yun Sheng's Six Magic Souls had reshaped into a Dark Magic Soul, and the energy radiating from her Magic Soul intensified considerably.

"According to the Netherworld Ghost King, successfully altering multiple Magic Soul attributes to a single attribute is merely the preliminary stage of the Demon God Transformation. The most critical phase involves transforming the single-attribute soul back into a multi-attribute one. The next step is the paramount challenge. Can my Magic Soul revert to its original state as a Six-Attribute Magic Soul?" While reciting the incantations for the Demon God Transformation, Yun Sheng summoned the Divine Lotus Karma Fire, which materialized in her hands, resembling a blooming lotus.

The unyielding Divine Lotus Karma Fire enveloped Yun Sheng.

This inferno, potent enough to liquefy even Purple Gold, inflicted no pain or discomfort upon Yun Sheng.

As the Divine Lotus Karma Fire manifested, the Dark Magic Soul emitted sounds akin to a trapped beast thrashing, and the once pitch-black Dark Magic Soul began its gradual metamorphosis.
