The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3480: Blazing Fury! (Seventh Update)

Gu Han turned to Ye Chen and remarked, "Young Master Ye, the matchmaking gathering begins tomorrow. For today, we must secure some lodging first."

Zhang Chi chimed in eagerly, "Near Refining God Peak, plenty of nearby cities exist. Why not head to Yunxuan City? I recall Baoxiang Pavilion there offers a legendary dish known as 'Cloud Dragon Playing in the Sea,' celebrated far and wide in the Star Swirl Domain!"

A faint crease formed on Gu Han's forehead. Yunxuan City stood as the grandest and most vibrant hub close to Refining God Peak, famed for its signature Cloud Dragon Playing in the Sea. Without doubt, it would pull in warriors from influential clans, correct?

In recent days, prodigies from powerful factions across the realms had likely flooded in...

What if their group stirred up conflict then? How would they handle it?

Yet Ye Chen simply nodded at that instant and replied, "Alright then, we'll make for Yunxuan City."

For Ye Chen himself, adhering to the guidance from Sword Soul Xuan Han Jade meant the swiftest route to power against foes like Xuanyuan Moxie and Mo Xue Ming lay in seeking formidable allies in the Outer Realm to hone his skills! To bolster his martial prowess and Destruction Divine Dao!

Zhang Chi's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. The Green Phoenix beneath him surged forward faster, racing toward a metropolis of unparalleled splendor!

No sooner had the three stepped into Yunxuan City than they made straight for Baoxiang Pavilion!

Zhang Chi flashed a golden card with a smug grin: "Hehe, this is my VIP pass to Baoxiang Pavilion. I had my second sister snag it for me before setting out. Normally, you'd need a reservation there, but even then, who knows how long you'd wait for a table? This gold card lets us skip all that and eat right away!"

Before long, they reached a lavish and ornate building, its signboard boldly inscribed with Baoxiang Pavilion in ornate, sweeping characters.

The tantalizing scents drifting from Baoxiang Pavilion instantly invigorated the trio's senses!

The server at Baoxiang Pavilion's doorway greeted them with a courteous smile: "Have you made a reservation?"

Zhang Chi pulled out the golden card as if by habit and asked, "We've got a VIP card—does that get us inside?"

Spotting the golden card in Zhang Chi's grasp, the attendant's attitude shifted to one of utmost deference in a flash, and he replied warmly, "Esteemed guest, your timing is perfect. Baoxiang Pavilion has been packed lately. There's just one table available today—right this way, please."

As Zhang Chi and the others geared up to step into Baoxiang Pavilion, a bold, commanding voice rang out sharply from behind.

"Oh? Just one table open? No problem—that one's ours!"

Gu Han and Zhang Chi's expressions darkened at the words, though Ye Chen wore an enigmatic smirk.

A sparring partner for the journey had shown up?

This was precisely the sort of encounter he'd foreseen!

The three whirled around to find three youths positioned right behind Ye Chen.

To the left was a striking, elegant youth with a sleek sword in a violet-gold sheath dangling from his belt.

To the right loomed a massive, brawny figure with veins popping like cords, even more imposing in stature than the elegant one, radiating raw menace.

The central figure looked even more youthful than Zhang Chi. He idly fanned himself with a Jade Bone Fan pulsing with Treasure Aura, his gaze brimming with haughty disdain!

As these three sized up Ye Chen's group, their features twisted in clear annoyance.

Gu Han and Zhang Chi, ready to respond, froze upon recognizing the trio—their faces paled dramatically! Retorts on their lips died unspoken!

Noticing the shift in Gu Han and Zhang Chi's looks, the three newcomers' irritation only intensified.

Zhang Chi's gaze quivered faintly as he stared at the Jade Fan wielder, gulped hard, and stuttered, "Y-You're... Zhou Zixun of the Extreme Sword Sect?"

The youth let out a chilly snort, "Hm? So you know who this Young Master is?"

Gu Han and Zhang Chi shared a quick, uneasy look, their dread now impossible to hide!

Zhou Zixun of the Extreme Sword Sect—how could anyone miss such a name!

This prodigy, younger than even Zhang Chi's second sister, had already shattered into the seventh level of the Holy Ancestor Realm in cultivation!

Thus, Zhou Zixun's martial promise outshone even Zhang Qiao Ling's in terror!

Yet what eclipsed Zhou Zixun's combat genius was his sheer overbearing nature!

The Extreme Sword Sect ranked among the Star Swirl Domain's elite forces, its might eclipsing the Qianlei Sect of Zhang Qiao Ling's affiliation, all thanks to its storied Sword Dao.

And Zhou Zixun's arrogance knew no bounds?

Rumors held that within the Extreme Sword Sect, whenever Zhou Zixun showed his face, every outer disciple had to drop everything and bow in welcome!

Whatever Zhou Zixun desired, all must yield without question!

Naturally, such swagger came backed by real power.

Given Zhou Zixun's gifts, the sect would shield his every whim, no matter how wild or brazen!

Why bother objecting?

Zhou Zixun alone held the key to thrusting the Extreme Sword Sect into Moon Soul Domain ranks after countless millennia!

By his trajectory, he'd eclipse the Heavenly Repairing Realm in under a thousand years!

For that glorious prospect, spoiling Zhou Zixun was a small price indeed.

Besides, Zhou Zixun was the grandson of the Extreme Sword Sect's revered elder sage!

In the Star Swirl Domain, who versed in its ways wouldn't spot such a legend?

Right then, Yuan Qiong Tian—the hulking brute at Zhou Zixun's side—barked icily at Ye Chen's crew: "You know Young Master Zhou, so why linger like fools? Scram already—unless you want an escort out?"

This giant went by Yuan Qiong Tian, while the sword-bearing youth was Li Yichuan. Both had stuck by Zhou Zixun for over a century as close allies, carving out their own reputations in the process.

To trail Zhou Zixun meant their own power couldn't be dismissed lightly!

Zhang Chi and Gu Han seethed under Yuan Qiong Tian's near-abusive roar, humiliation burning through them. Fists tightened, foreheads throbbed with strained veins, and fury blazed in their stares!

They'd always been elite talents, gazing down on others until Ye Chen upended that world—now to be ordered about like servants, how could rage not ignite?

Still, fury or not, they had to swallow it!

Their group's might simply couldn't match these foes!

Endure it—that was their only choice.

Plead fairness, claim they arrived first?

In the cultivation world, might made right!

Besides, against Zhou Zixun's tyranny, trying logic would only invite greater shame—and maybe a steep toll!

But just grit their teeth and yield?

Deep down, they refused to accept it!

Unable to help themselves, both shot glances at Ye Chen, a flicker of hope in their eyes...

Maybe Ye Chen's prowess could overpower the trio?

After all, his victory over Zhang Qiao Ling had painted him as unstoppable in their minds!

Yet moments later, Gu Han and Zhang Chi dismissed the thought with shakes of their heads...

From the prior clash they'd observed, Ye Chen's triumph had come at a heavy cost...

Even solo against Zhou Zixun, victory seemed doubtful—let alone with his two lackeys in tow...
