The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3439: Breaking Into the Netherworld Hall (Fourth Update)

Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Wei Ying tracked Ye Luo into the wilderness, discovering that the girl was succumbing to a violent state of demonization. Using the Nine Cold Heaven Skill, Wei Ying briefly restored Ye Luo’s sanity, revealing that a powerful bloodline seal was erasing her memories and turning her into a mindless killing machine. Ye Luo confessed that only the legendary Sacred Origin Heart from the Outer Realm could break the seal, but she feared her time was running out. Before losing herself once more, Ye Luo begged Wei Ying to protect Ye Chen at all costs—even if it meant killing her. As the brief moment of clarity vanished, Ye Luo’s killing intent erupted again, forcing Wei Ying to face a renewed and deadly assault.

"Things have turned for the worse!" Because the distance was so short, Wei Ying had not anticipated Ye Luo's seal manifesting at this moment, nor did she expect such a sudden strike. Evading the attack was no longer possible.

The momentum behind the Heavenly Punishment Chains was truly horrifying. At this range, Wei Ying felt a boundless aura of death completely envelop her.

"Juehan Heavenly Emperor Slash!" Without a moment's pause, Wei Ying raised her arm and unleashed a sword strike.

The ultimate Hongmeng Aura surged forth as an endless chill swept across the world. It felt as if the sky itself might be torn asunder as the Juehan Sword Light, capable of slashing through the sun and moon, erupted with violent force.

"Bang!"

Although Wei Ying's reflexes were lightning-fast, the proximity was too great and she had been caught off guard by Ye Luo's sudden betrayal. Even the Juehan Heavenly Emperor Slash failed to fully obstruct the Heavenly Punishment Chains.

"Sss!"

A Heavenly Punishment Chain pierced through Wei Ying's body, her blood staining her robes. Despite this, Ye Luo showed no mercury, launching another assault immediately.

"That is enough!" Wei Ying yelled in fury, cutting down the Heavenly Punishment Chain before her as a divine light began to radiate from her form.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion echoed, and a brilliance illuminated the Ten Thousand Mountains. The light was so piercing that Ye Luo was forced to shut her eyes.

By the time the glow faded, Wei Ying was gone. Ye Luo scanned the area with a cold gaze, but finding no sign of her target, she snorted and walked away.

Her eyes remained frigid.

Yet, beneath that icy exterior, there seemed to flicker a ghost of gentleness.

A gentleness that was being forcibly suppressed.

...

Within the Demon Suppression Hall of the Divine Kingdom.

With Ye Chen's current Cultivation level, traveling from the Lingwu Continent back to the Divine Kingdom required very little time.

Upon his arrival, Ye Chen immediately called for the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and his other allies.

Ye Chen's eyes flickered as he glared at the heavy sky, his countenance turning grim.

"Mo Xue Ming is aware of my true identity. Even though he desires my Qi Fortune, he is a ticking time bomb and my most significant threat right now!" A chilling killing intent erupted from Ye Chen's eyes.

Mo Xue Ming was far too cunning; he had unmasked Ye Chen's identity early on, which deeply troubled him. If Mo Xue Ming leaked this secret, Ye Chen would be finished. Until he could reclaim the heights of his past life, his identity had to remain hidden.

Inside the Samsara Graveyard, the Netherworld Three Ancestors spoke up, "Disciple, Mo Xue Ming must be eliminated. The threat he poses is too immense, and his ambition knows no bounds. He cannot be left alive!"

"I am of the same mind," Ye Chen replied with a nod. At that moment, a vibration came from the Ancient Box.

Ye Chen's heart jumped. He quickly summoned the Ancient Box, and following a surge of violent demonic qi, the Nine Nether Tiger stepped out.

"You have revived," Ye Chen said, a smile curling on his lips. With the Nine Nether Tiger back, his odds of defeating Mo Xue Ming had improved significantly.

The You Ying Ghost Weasel cried out in delight at the sight of the tiger, "Master."

The Nine Nether Tiger merely cast a freezing look at the You Ying Ghost Weasel, choosing to ignore it.

Turning to the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, Ye Chen said, "Senior Demon Emperor, Mo Xue Ming knows who I am. He must not be allowed to live."

"I agree," the Sky-covering Demon Emperor replied, drawing the Slaughter Immortal Sword. The sharp sword qi radiated a never-ending coldness.

"Mo Xue Ming has yet to heal from his wounds, and you and I destroyed his avatar. This is likely his moment of greatest weakness," the Demon Emperor noted, looking deeply at Ye Chen.

"Striking now is our only real chance!" Ye Chen's eyes burned with murderous intent as he stood up decisively, his powerful aura sweeping through the room.

"I will not give him the opportunity to recover. We depart immediately to wipe out this threat!" Ye Chen declared coldly.

"Very well!" the Sky-covering Demon Emperor shouted. He looked at Ye Chen with appreciation; it was this decisiveness and lack of hesitation that he respected most.

"As you are aware, I cannot remain in the Divine Kingdom for long. If I can help you finish Mo Xue Ming this time, it will serve as repayment for the Netherworld Water. After that, I shall depart."

"My thanks, Senior Demon Emperor," Ye Chen said earnestly before signaling Little Gold.

"Master," Little Gold rushed over at the call, looking at Ye Chen with curiosity.

"Come with me to the Netherworld Hall. It is time to end that man," Ye Chen said firmly.

Little Gold grew excited instantly. "This is long overdue! Don't worry, Master, I will help you crush him with the fury of heaven and earth!"

"Heh," Ye Chen laughed softly, then turned his gaze toward the You Ying Ghost Weasel, Xiao Bai, and Ye Lingtian.

"Stay here at the Demon Suppression Hall. If anything happens, notify me at once," Ye Chen instructed gravely. With the Demon Emperor missing for so long, he had to remain vigilant.

Fortunately, Xia Ruoxue was recovering well from her injuries and could handle a crisis if one arose; otherwise, Ye Chen would not have dared to take such a risk.

Ye Chen then returned the Nine Nether Tiger to the Ancient Box and quietly made his way toward the Netherworld Hall, accompanied by the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Little Gold.

Even though the Netherworld Hall's strength had been decimated during Xuanyuan Moxie’s Master Slaying Conference, a lean camel is still larger than a horse. The power of the Netherworld Hall was not to be dismissed lightly.

Consequently, Ye Chen did not plan a frontal assault. He intended to lead an assassination, taking the head of the leader first. If Mo Xue Ming was slain, the rest would fall easily.

...

Meanwhile, within the Netherworld Hall, Mo Xue Ming—his face as pale as a corpse—suddenly snapped his eyes open. An intense sense of unease made him feel physically uncomfortable.

"Something is wrong."

Mo Xue Ming had always relied on his Sixth Sense. It was his sharp intuition for danger that had allowed him to survive countless deaths and reach his current status.

"Send out my orders immediately! Everyone is to be on high alert! Report even the smallest disturbance to me instantly!" Mo Xue Ming did not waste a second, mobilizing all his forces.

He was still severely injured and feared that someone might seize this opportunity to strike.

Furthermore, Mo Xue Ming suspected that his avatar had fallen on the Ancient Battlefield, and aside from Ye Chen, only Xuanyuan Moxie was involved.

Xuanyuan Moxie’s state was likely no better than his own, and he probably wouldn't dare leave his seclusion with the Chong Guang Divine Radiance Technique. In the Divine Kingdom, perhaps only Ye Chen was a true threat.

Although Ye Chen's Cultivation realm wasn't high, Mo Xue Ming remained wary of him as the Samsara Master, maintaining extreme caution.

"No matter what, inside the Netherworld Hall, I am the Supreme Sovereign. If you dare show your face, I will slaughter you here, take your Qi Fortune, and become invincible!" A terrifying killing intent exploded from Mo Xue Ming's body.

"Mo Xue Ming is already prepared," Ye Chen noted as he arrived near the Netherworld Hall with the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Little Gold. He saw a multitude of Demon Soldiers on patrol and several powerful, unfamiliar figures—clearly the Hidden Elders of the Netherworld Hall.
