The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3549: 3549: Starlight Map (Second Update)

At that instant, the pair of division of realms Ninth-level Holy Ancestor Realm cultivators positioned in the hall's corner traded a look, their gazes lighting up with sudden curiosity toward Ye Chen.

“Who exactly are you?” Right then, the sturdy fellow sensed something off about Ye Chen too, his face turning grave in an instant. He felt remorse for his earlier impudence and lack of manners toward Ye Chen, but now he found himself stuck in an awkward spot.

“It doesn't matter who I am; the key point is you're being way too loud, so scram.”

Ye Chen responded with composure, and the very next instant, he struck without delay.

From the Destruction Divine Dao burst forth, as the Slaughter Sword gripped in Ye Chen's grasp lunged ahead, like it was tearing apart the All Heavens, cleaving open the Universe, its sword power limitless, with the blade's sharpness gleaming at its peak.

Back when Ye Chen stood at the division of realms Second-level Heavenly God Realm, he had already managed to battle against Xuanyuan Moxie and Mo Xue Ming on equal terms. Now at the division of realms Nine Nether Sky, his prowess grew far more fearsome, where each strike of his appeared to match a division of realms Ninth-level Holy Ancestor Realm expert, sending shockwaves through everyone's hearts.

A single slash from that sword plunged the whole hall into utter stillness, while the robust man directly in its path paled in horror, his features twisting in alarm as the threat of doom rushed over him, chilling his frame like he'd tumbled into an eternal abyss.

“Please spare me, sir!”

In sheer panic, the burly man could barely utter words, as his allies cried out in dread and rushed in together to shield him from the incoming blade.

“Bang!”

The four allies of the burly man activated their techniques, unleashing a torrent of fierce energy that made the entire Huadu Building quake as if on the verge of collapse.

Yet the following moment saw those four allies hurled back all at once, their faces ashen while they coughed up blood, none able to endure even one strike from Ye Chen, leaving them all wounded.

After sending the four flying, the edge of Ye Chen's Slaughter Sword continued to blaze fiercely, piercing straight toward the burly man in a flash.

“Puff!”

The burly man gripped his chest tightly, as overwhelming savage spiritual force raged within him, his complexion drained and filled with fear.

Ye Chen had shown mercy, steering the Slaughter Sword clear of the heart, or else the man would already be gone from this world.

“Many thanks for your mercy, sir. We'll go right away, we're leaving immediately!”

Seizing this chance at survival, the burly man no longer dared to act arrogant, sweat pouring down his brow as he hastily begged Ye Chen and ushered his allies to escape in haste.

“Wherever people gather, Jianghu follows.” Ye Chen observed his retreat with icy detachment, casually sheathing the Slaughter Sword before shifting his attention to the woman who had approached earlier.

“Where is the map leading to the Nine Deaths Realm?”

“I'll fetch it at once.”

Trembling under Ye Chen's stare, the woman answered promptly, her features blanched with fright.

In that instant, the woman grasped at last why the division of realms Ninth-level Holy Ancestor Realm Sky-covering Demon Emperor had allied with Ye Chen—because Ye Chen was nothing short of a freakish powerhouse!

Though his cultivation sat only at the Nine Nether Sky, Ye Chen's might reached an utterly horrifying degree, probably on par with a division of realms Ninth-level Holy Ancestor Realm, achieving a state of total dominance!

The woman hurried off in terror, and the hall's occupants pulled back their eyes as well, wary that lingering looks might draw Ye Chen's world-shattering sword upon them once more.

“Be it in the Divine Kingdom or the Outer Realm, folks like that are everywhere; you have to instill fear in them to keep the nuisances at bay.”

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor voiced this abruptly.

“Mm.” Ye Chen gave a faint nod in acknowledgment, catching the Sky-covering Demon Emperor's point about leveraging the burly man to demonstrate strength and deter the crowd.

In truth, the moment Ye Chen stepped into the Huadu Building, he had picked up on numerous hostile stares scanning him, but he paid them no heed. Now, following his display of force and intimidation, all those glares had vanished.

And right then, a duo approached Ye Chen and the Demon Emperor. Ye Chen's eyebrow arched a bit, recognizing these two as the division of realms Ninth-level Holy Ancestor Realm cultivators who had been sitting in the hall's corner earlier, sharing the same realm as the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

These two possessed striking demeanors, radiating an aura of high status, probably hailing from some prestigious Outer Realm clan.

One donned gleaming golden armor, emanating a wild Hongmeng Aura that suggested he was no common figure.

The other sported crimson robes, with his hair bound neatly, giving him an almost feminine look, though his gaze and features brimmed with sharp intensity.

“This brother hides his true might so well; we can't help but admire it,”

The man in blood-red robes drew near and complimented Ye Chen straight away, as the armored one offered a respectful fist salute.

Noting they came without ill intent, Ye Chen replied with a mild smile: “You praise me too much; my power can't hold a candle to you both.”

“Are you two planning a trip to the Nine Deaths Realm as well?”

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor interjected suddenly, his stare carrying a haughty, commanding presence.

“Indeed.” The blood-red robed man nodded at once and continued, “I'm Jun Mo, and this is Yang Han; we're gearing up to venture into the Nine Deaths Realm. Would you two care to team up with us?”

Ye Chen dipped his head slightly at the words, realizing their aim to form a group, boasting three at the division of realms Ninth-level Holy Ancestor Realm, plus himself at the Nine Nether Sky yet with strength rivaling that level.

Such a team held considerable weight; even delving into the Nine Deaths Realm, their odds of success would rise sharply.

“I'm Ye Chen, and this is the Senior Demon Emperor.” Ye Chen got right to it, introducing them without pause.

Ye Chen held no concerns over whether Jun Mo and Yang Han harbored hidden agendas; their abilities were solid enough, but in a clash, he and the Demon Emperor wouldn't be easy marks.

“Demon Emperor?” A glint passed through Jun Mo's eyes at the title, as calling oneself Demon Emperor marked an extraordinary status; it seemed Ye Chen came from no ordinary origins, though he and Yang Han were far from commonplace themselves.

“Greetings to Brother Ye Chen and Senior Demon Emperor,” Jun Mo mused briefly before offering polite fist salutes to both Ye Chen and the Emperor.

“No point waiting for that woman to deliver the map; I've got the Nine Deaths Realm map right here. Since you're keen to head there too, why not depart now?”

Jun Mo addressed Ye Chen directly, showing clear enthusiasm for the Nine Deaths Realm expedition, his tone laced with excitement as he brought it up.

“Oh? You've got the map on you?”

Ye Chen's eyebrow lifted faintly at this, while the Sky-covering Demon Emperor stayed quiet, positioned behind Ye Chen with demonic qi roiling around him, projecting a formidable aura that prompted even greater respect from Yang Han and Jun Mo.

“That's right, here's the map—Brother Ye Chen, feel free to take a peek,”

Jun Mo answered with a grin, promptly producing the map.

It was a scroll imbued with the essence of Starlight; as Ye Chen unrolled it, boundless Starlight materialized to form the detailed chart.

Examining the map, Ye Chen spotted several red markers indicating spots not too distant from their spot in Xing Han City, pointing toward the Nine Deaths Realm.

“The map checks out as authentic.”

Ye Chen gave a subtle nod, then handed the map back to Jun Mo, saying: “In that case, let's head out.”
