The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3388: Unexpected Visitor (Second Update)

Wang Jiuxu went on, "Continuing like this is perilous for you. If you place your confidence in me, I can utilize my influence to have the Jade Sword Sect accept you as a disciple. It would be a significant promotion for someone of your standing."

Upon hearing those words, the expressions of the entire group, including Liu Meihan, shifted dramatically!

It was true that Wang Jiuxu possessed such authority! However, this specific slot was incredibly valuable!

Why would he bestow it upon a girl originating from a low-level martial plane?

The realization dawned on the crowd instantly!

Wang Jiuxu was in search of a cultivation vessel!

Furthermore, a girl from such a lowly plane would undoubtedly be submissive toward the powerful!

She was, quite simply, a flawless choice for a cultivation vessel!

To the astonishment of everyone present, however, Zhu Ya declined the offer.

"Respected senior, my purpose for coming to the Lingwu Continent is to locate a certain individual, and my stay will be brief."

"Regarding entry into the Jade Sword Sect, although I desire it in my heart, I have no wish to bring criticism upon you. It is best that I decline."

Both Wang Jiuxu and Liu Meihan knit their brows slightly.

Searching for someone?

Was it possible that this insignificant ant from a low-level plane actually had kin on this soil?

Though he felt irritated, Wang Jiuxu still inquired, "Do you have relatives here on the Lingwu Continent?"

"If that is the case, I might be able to offer some assistance."

"I maintain various connections throughout the Lingwu Continent, and even within the Divine Kingdom."

"What is the name of this person? Do they possess any identifying traits?"

Zhu Ya paused for a few moments before raising her hand, suddenly indicating a statue positioned a short distance away.

Everyone froze in shock, following the direction of Zhu Ya’s finger, their faces twisting into strange expressions.

Liu Meihan, however, broke into a mocking laugh and said with heavy sarcasm, "Miss Zhu, are you suggesting that your relative is the Hall Master of the Demon Suppression Hall?"

Zhu Ya gave a small shake of her head. "I am unfamiliar with the Demon Suppression Hall, but I know that the man I seek is named Ye Chen."

"I would be immensely grateful if you could lead me to him."

A brief silence hung in the air, followed immediately by a wave of raucous laughter!

Had Zhu Ya mentioned any other name, they might have considered her words!

But Ye Chen, the Hall Master of the Demon Suppression Hall who had conquered the Supreme Martial Way—was he truly someone this woman could know? It was utterly unbelievable!

To the onlookers, Zhu Ya’s claim seemed like a desperate lie. They assumed that perhaps she was a person of importance in her home plane, but after witnessing the Cultivation levels of the Jade Sword Sect disciples, she felt humiliated and resorted to using Ye Chen’s name to mock them.

How idiotic!

Did she not realize that Ye Chen represented their very faith? If not for Ye Chen’s protection, wouldn't the devils have long ago consumed the Divine Kingdom and the Lingwu Continent?

Calling it a catastrophe for all life was no overstatement!

Every soul on the Lingwu Continent and in the Divine Kingdom dreamt of a personal audience with the supreme Hall Master of the Demon Suppression Hall!

Many powerful factions had even traveled directly to the Demon Suppression Hall in the Seventh Divine Nation!

Yet, they were all turned away!

Could an entity of that magnitude be seen by just anyone at their whim?

Folding her arms, Liu Meihan stared down at Zhu Ya. "You little girl, you are nothing but a liar. Do you honestly believe someone like you can pursue the path of martial arts?"

"If we had realized you were this sort of person, we never would have bothered to save you!"

"Are you aware of what the man you just pointed at signifies to those of us on the Lingwu Continent? To us, he is a god!"

"Your actions just now were a desecration of the divine!"

Liu Meihan was on the verge of reaching out to strike Zhu Ya, but Wang Jiuxu intervened just as she moved.

Liu Meihan’s eyes went wide. "Senior Brother Liu, you aren't actually protecting this girl because of her appearance, are you? Is someone like her truly fit to be your cultivation vessel?"

"Does she actually deserve such an honor?"

Wang Jiuxu’s eyes turned cold, though his gaze was fixed on Zhu Ya.

This stare filled Zhu Ya with a sense of dread. She had spoken the truth, yet she had been unaware of just how sacred Mister Ye was to these people.

Naturally, Zhu Ya also understood their viewpoint.

Given her current Cultivation, how could she dare claim a connection to the man she once knew as Mister Ye?

Wang Jiuxu declared, "She certainly does not deserve it."

"As my cultivation vessel, she must not only possess beauty but also be entirely subservient to me."

"Certain wretches have nothing but filth coming out of their mouths."

"Could such a person ever be obedient to me?"

"I refuse to let my Dao be sabotaged by an ignorant wretch."

Fury flickered in Zhu Ya’s lovely eyes!

She had encountered people like this back in Huaxia! However, she hadn't expected the inhabitants of the Lingwu Continent to be even more loathsome!

She turned around abruptly: "Our paths are different, so there is no point in further talk. I, Zhu Ya, thank you for rescuing me, but that is the extent of it. I shall repay this debt once I have reunited with Mister Ye."

"Farewell!"

With those words, Zhu Ya began walking toward a desolate path!

Even if the way ahead was crawling with threats! Dying to the fangs of wild beasts was preferable to suffering the insults of these wretched people!

However, the moment Zhu Ya turned to leave, Wang Jiuxu blocked her path.

He stood with his hands clasped behind him, a cruel expression on his face. "Did I give you permission to depart?"

"You were meant to die moments ago; we preserved your life, and therefore your life now belongs to me."

"The Jade Sword Sect happens to be in need of a Blood Sacrifice."

"Such a ritual requires blood that is rich in Pure Yin or Pure Yang, and you meet those requirements perfectly."

"Ah, since you are from a low-level martial plane, you are likely ignorant of certain customs on the Lingwu Continent."

"To refine certain high-grade weapons, the blood essence of a martial artist who is pure and untouched by the world is required."

"In the past, our Jade Sword Sect utilized the blood of our enemies for such refining."

"But recently, the common foe of both the Divine Kingdom and the Lingwu Continent has been the devils."

"We lack the authority to handle the remains or prisoners of the devils, and the Artifact Refining Hall just happens to have an opening for a Blood Sacrifice."

"And aren't you the ideal candidate for such a sacrifice?"

At that moment, Wang Jiuxu signaled with his hand. "Seize her!"

"Take her straight to the Artifact Refining Hall!"

"As you command!"

Two other disciples of the Jade Sword Sect stepped forward, grabbing Zhu Ya and dragging her away by force!

Zhu Ya did not attempt to flee.

She was well aware that her strength was insufficient to escape!

Based on their discussion regarding the Blood Sacrifice, she knew she was temporarily safe!

Perhaps once she reached the Jade Sword Sect, she could find a method to contact Ye Chen!

Now, her only option was to prepare for a final struggle.

...

Before long, Ning Xuanhai and his two companions reached the Demon Suppression Hall.

Ye Lingtian, informed that visitors from the Outer Realm Holy Land had arrived, emerged to receive them.

However, Ye Chen was currently in seclusion and was not receiving guests.

After hearing the words of the Eternal Sacred King, he had felt the overwhelming power of Xuanyuan Moxie. Compared to such a foe, his own strength—at only the Seventh Level of the Chaos Realm—was far from enough.

Consequently, Ye Chen remained in seclusion, focused entirely on enhancing his power as quickly as possible.

He was unaware that the people from Martial God Mountain wished to speak with him in detail to fulfill the Empress’s mission.

Likewise, the envoys from Martial God Mountain did not know Ye Chen’s true identity, having mistaken the Samsara Master for Xuanyuan Moxie.

In the shadows of fate, it seemed as though a thread was once again binding the destinies of Ye Chen and Xuan Jiyue together.

...

"Honored guests, your arrival is poorly timed. Our Hall Master is currently in seclusion and is unable to meet with you. I ask for your understanding," Ye Lingtian said, maintaining a polite composure.

"We have traveled a great distance to discuss vital matters with Hall Master Ye. We humbly request that you relay our message," Ning Xuanhai replied, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture.
