The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3564: Farewell, Jin Lengyan!
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Witnessing this spectacle, Ye Chen experienced a touch of astonishment. Though the oppressive force spared him, the altar's bursts of power evidently exceeded his expectations.
Now, even as the altar's barrier materialized, it seemed faintly luminous. Evidently, across infinite eras, scant energy persisted within the altar's defensive array. The Golden Winged Roc, hurled aside earlier, returned in flight, its eyes brimming with unrelenting savagery.
A fierce murderous aura from the Golden Winged Roc surged outward, while its golden plumage abruptly emitted a brilliant golden radiance.
"Golden Feather Splitting Sky!"
With a thunderous cry, the Golden Winged Roc unleashed the golden glow in the heavens, which solidified into massive golden feathers, poised to rend the firmament and shatter celestial bodies, descending like a storm upon the altar's barrier.
Amid the relentless assaults, the barrier's glow faded noticeably, heightening the Giant Leader's distress beside it, prompting him to charge straight at Ye Chen and his companions.
"Retreat!"
Spotting this, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor bellowed in rage. A torrent of demonic energy exploded forth, shoving the Giant Leader away instantly.
"Thud!"
Repelled, the Giant Leader's gaze filled with hopelessness as he dropped to his knees before the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, uttering a stream of unintelligible Cangmu Giant phrases.
"What is he uttering?"
Observing this, Ye Chen arched a brow and turned to the Sky-covering Demon Emperor with his query.
"He claims the altar holds utmost significance for their tribe, harboring the lineage of their forebears. Should the altar fall and the Golden Winged Roc consume that ancestral essence, he would bear the guilt of their people eternally, thus he implores us to aid in invoking the ancestor's apparition."
"In what manner can we assist in the summoning?"
Absorbing the Sky-covering Demon Emperor's explanation, Ye Chen inquired earnestly. Currently, the Golden Winged Roc assaulted the altar's protective array ferociously. Victory for it in breaching the defenses and absorbing the Giant Clan's ancestral lineage would surely turn its wrath upon them next.
Aiding the Giants equated to safeguarding his own interests, a truth Ye Chen grasped fully. Even Jun Mo, typically hesitant, now regarded the scene with grave intensity.
"It requires your blood essence." The Sky-covering Demon Emperor's gaze wavered, suspecting the reason yet hesitant to confirm.
"My blood essence?"
Ye Chen blinked in shock. Bearing no ties to the Giant Ancestor, he wondered why his essence would serve such a purpose.
In that instant, Jun Mo displayed evident bewilderment too, his eyes darting repeatedly toward Ye Chen.
Prior to venturing into the Nine Death Realm, Jun Mo had detected the enigmatic elder's deference toward Ye Chen, sparking his doubts. Witnessing the giants' need for Ye Chen's blood essence to call forth the ancestor's shadow only deepened his intrigue.
"Just who is this Ye Chen? His origins appear far too extraordinary..." Jun Mo pondered, fixing a profound stare on Ye Chen.
...
Meanwhile, within Huaxia's Kunlun Mountains, in Spirit City.
The long-dormant teleportation array abruptly surged with a potent fluctuation!
Dragon Soul's Captain Jin Lengyan, stationed close by, displayed clear exhilaration!
Since Zhu Ya's departure via teleportation, she had frequented the array in Spirit City daily, clinging to a sliver of hope!
She yearned for the impossible!
After all, Zhu Ya suffered grave wounds from Yuan Daofeng's assault right as the transfer began!
In the talent-rich Lingwu Continent, an injured Zhu Ya faced certain peril!
Her very survival hung in doubt.
Though the Dragon Soul had hunted Yuan Daofeng relentlessly, his faction dismissed them entirely!
The Dragon Soul couldn't even breach Yuan Daofeng's domain!
Throughout, Yuan Daofeng evaded confrontation!
Not even the issuance of the Dragon Soul Search Order stirred him!
Yuan Daofeng's followers even clashed violently with Dragon Soul agents!
His insolence knew no bounds!
Lately, Yuan Daofeng's faction grew ever more brazen. Numerous elite Radiant Hall figures defected to his side!
Yuan Daofeng's fame soared to unprecedented heights!
He neared overtaking the Radiant Hall once founded by Mister Ye, positioning himself as Kunlun Mountains' dominant force!
Driven by vast ambitions, Yuan Daofeng steadily seized control of the Kunlun Mountains and extended his influence into Huaxia!
Strangest of all, amid the Kunlun Mountains' meager spiritual energy, advancing at Yuan Daofeng's level ought to prove arduous, yet his might escalated at a startling pace!
Jin Lengyan had probed Yuan Daofeng via various channels, uncovering a potential lead.
Yuan Daofeng could have departed some time past!
His destination, however, stayed shrouded.
Yet, Dragon Soul's review of Huaxia's monitoring footage yielded faint glimpses of Yuan Daofeng.
His appearances occurred in odd spots, typically remote and forsaken areas.
What schemes did Yuan Daofeng pursue?
This lingered as Jin Lengyan's private enigma.
Gazing at the array's undulations now, Jin Lengyan balled her fists, her valiant eyes clouding with mixed emotions.
Who truly orchestrated this!
Suddenly, a colossal beam of light erupted from Spirit City's teleportation array!
From within that beam stepped a robust, imposing figure!
Possessing sharp, predatory eyes and dressed in crisp black casual wear, he bore a tidy crew-cut hairstyle.
Surveying his surroundings, he flashed a grin revealing pristine teeth: "I never imagined that I, Ye Lingtian, would set foot in Huaxia once more in this life."
Ye Lingtian had previously approached Zhu Ya to join her journey. Though she consented in words, he discerned her wish to reunite with the Hall Master, so he relented, donned Huaxia garb, trimmed his hair, and proceeded solo.
His objective this visit involved probing the spiritual energy disturbances and the Reincarnation Tablet's secrets.
He believed his present prowess sufficed to rival the pinnacles in both Huaxia and the Kunlun Mountains!
Yet, at that juncture, Ye Lingtian creased his brow faintly.
An unseen law now cloaked his form, steadily diminishing his cultivation level and realm distinctions.
Such suppression was anticipated!
The Hall Master had warned him that surpassing the Kunlun Mountains' limits would invite regulatory constraints, though these bindings irked him deeply!
It resembled the scrutiny of watchful eyes!
Concurrently, a peculiar azure blaze ignited in his dantian!
That blaze morphed into an archaic symbol.
Upon beholding this symbol, Ye Lingtian's face stiffened!
This symbol hailed not from Huaxia!
Instead, it originated from the Outer Realm's premier power, the Emperor Abyss Palace!
"Impossible!"
Ye Lingtian stood frozen in disbelief.
Even Jin Lengyan's approach escaped his notice.
"Mr. Ye!" Jin Lengyan exclaimed, brimming with enthusiasm!
She had envisioned myriad candidates for the arrival, but Ye Lingtian never crossed her mind!
Crucially, despite the suppression on his cultivation, Ye Lingtian embodied a formidable threat!
Hope now dawned for the Dragon Soul and Huaxia!
Regaining composure, Ye Lingtian nodded to Jin Lengyan and stated gravely, "Captain Jin, head to the Dragon Soul headquarters. Relate every recent incident, omitting no minor point."
"Understood." Jin Lengyan replied, then peered once again past Ye Lingtian, as if awaiting a presence.
Still, that certain man's silhouette failed to emerge.
Ye Lingtian readily perceived Jin Lengyan's anticipation and clarified, "Captain Jin, the Hall Master tends to private affairs at present. Upon resolution, he shall return forthwith; fret not."
Jin Lengyan's spirited gaze sparkled like constellations, nodding briskly: "Yes, Mr. Ye, this way please!"
