The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3581: 3581: A Familiar Voice (Part 1)

Simultaneously, under the expansive heavens, the formidable presence of a sacred dragon surged wildly, cutting through the boundless clouds. Creatures in its vicinity detected this overwhelming energy and refrained from obstructing it even slightly.

Right now, Ye Luo’er was seated in a meditative pose atop the sacred dragon’s form, her eyes quietly observing the creature beneath her. This dragon happened to be the elderly lady who had saved her from three savage monsters that fateful day.

Over these past days, Ye Luo’er had been cultivating on the elderly lady’s back to mend her injuries, yet because of the seal imposed by the old woman, her wounds remained incompletely restored.

Ye Luo’er had at first intended to quietly dispel the seal, but she found that this restrictive force was incredibly potent, utterly unyielding, which only heightened her unease.

Finally, Ye Luo’er could no longer suppress her impatience. The old woman obviously harbored hidden intentions. Allowing her to be carried off might lead to unknown perils.

“I’m leaving now.”

Ye Luo’er declared abruptly.

“Ah?” The sacred dragon jolted in surprise right then. Vast dragon qi gathered to form a human visage, materializing before Ye Luo’er—it was exactly the old woman’s face.

“Master, where do you intend to go?”

The old woman’s expression brimmed with worry, maintaining her usual facade of devotion, before she added: “This area is far too perilous, and your wounds aren’t mended yet. You might have been schemed against by someone. Allow me to escort you to safety for recovery, or else venturing alone could spell certain doom for you.”

“No need.”

Though the old woman persisted in her charade, Ye Luo’er opted not to confront her directly, fixing a chilly stare upon her as she stated: “I’d rather go solo. Thanks for looking after me lately; goodbye now.”

With those words, Ye Luo’er abruptly shifted into dragon form. A grand dragon aura radiated outward, propelling her swiftly toward the nearby peaks.

Even with her injuries not fully recovered, Ye Luo’er had regained a portion of her strength after extended rest. Now capable of assuming dragon shape, she aimed to depart at once, severing all ties with the old woman.

However, as Ye Luo’er pulled away, the old woman displayed a peculiar grin, aware that Ye Luo’er had uncovered her ruse.

“Hehe, Master, where do you think you’re fleeing to!”

The old woman cackled slyly, unleashing boundless dragon qi that morphed into four restraints, which swiftly ensnared Ye Luo’er.

Though Ye Luo’er managed the dragon transformation, her grave wounds hampered her speed, preventing evasion of the bindings; she was captured, seething with fury inside.

“What are you truly after!”

Ye Luo’er bellowed at the old woman in fury. This elder harbored treacherous designs—she had suspected as much. She had hoped the old woman might drop the act and let her go, but clearly, the decision to strike had been made.

“What am I after?”

The old woman scoffed, extending a dragon talon abruptly to seize Ye Luo’er firmly in its hold.

“I aim to deliver you to Han Yuan Venerate. The Ancestor Dragon Bloodline coursing through you is what he’s pursued for over ten thousand years. Presenting you to him will surely earn me vast rewards!”

Excitement gripped the old woman at that thought; Han Yuan Venerate was known for his lavish generosity. Delivering the Ancestor Dragon Bloodline he coveted above all would propel her to new heights!

“Han Yuan Venerate?”

Ye Luo’er’s brow furrowed faintly as she inquired, “Who might that be?”

“He’s a high-ranking figure in Emperor Abyss Palace. For someone of your stature, meeting him would be a great privilege.”

The old woman sneered with malice.

“You’re despicable!”

Ye Luo’er spat in outrage. The old woman had betrayed her faith, plotting against her, igniting a blaze of anger within.

“Despicable? When glory and life hang in the balance, who cares?” The old woman jeered, clutching Ye Luo’er securely.

With the mask torn away, the old woman held nothing back. Her velocity exploded suddenly, racing toward the horizon. She yearned to reach Han Yuan Venerate and offer this priceless prize!

In that instant, Ye Luo’er glared icily, recognizing the need to resist. Her energy flared dramatically.

A majestic dragon aura billowed out. Ye Luo’er’s lineage outranked the old woman’s by far, making the bloodline suppression starkly apparent. As the dragon power erupted, the old woman’s frame froze, her spiritual flow nearly ceasing, even with her superior cultivation.

“Sizzle sizzle sizzle!”

Chains of Heavenly Punishment lashed forth abruptly, unleashing horrifying Disaster Energy in devastating surges aimed at the old woman’s weak points.

Ye Luo’er sought a fatal blow, but then the old woman shook off the paralysis. Her cultivation level dwarfed Ye Luo’er’s, so the dragon aura’s outburst merely paused her briefly.

“Boom!”

Fierce Golden Light roared into existence; the old woman’s form was encased in an unbreakable shield, repelling even the Chains of Heavenly Punishment.

“Damn it!”

Seeing this, Ye Luo’er cursed under her breath.

But the old woman burst into victorious laughter then, “Hahaha, cease your resistance; once I have you, no rescue will come!”

“You imagine trading me for your fortune and status? Keep dreaming!”

Ye Luo’er stood firm, refusing to yield to the old woman. Suddenly, the bloodline in her core quivered intensely.

Ye Luo’er’s Ancestor Dragon Bloodline churned violently, pulsing with destructive forces that welled up from deep inside.

“Intending to blow yourself up?” The old woman recoiled from the menacing aura, casting a wary glance at Ye Luo’er.

“If you insist on destroying me, I’ll take you down with me!”

Ye Luo’er clenched her jaw, staring down the old woman. Her Ancestor Dragon Bloodline reached its explosive peak. In the following instant, her form would shatter. The blast from an Ancestor Dragon Bloodline detonation could devastate the land, guaranteeing the old woman’s end too!

But precisely then, as Ye Luo’er prepared to detonate, the seal inside her flared up, myriad arcane golden symbols surfacing across her skin.

Abruptly, immense prohibitive force exploded, inflicting agonizing torment on Ye Luo’er and blocking her self-destruction.

“Roar!”

Trapped in this desperate bind, unable even to end it herself, Ye Luo’er drowned in profound sorrow and fury, throwing her head back in a roar of pure rage that thundered across the skies!

This draconic cry resounded everywhere, rippling through the woods, as though the whole Nine Death Realm trembled in sync with that furious bellow!

…

At the same time, Ye Chen and his two companions rested beneath a massive ancient tree. Nearby lay a serene lake, encircled by a small deer adorned with vibrant speckles, glowing with a soft luminescence.

This creature was a fierce beast, but it possessed a mild temperament, showing no aggression toward the trio. For several days, Ye Chen and the others had been recovering in this spot until their wounds fully mended.

“I must press on with the search for Luo’er’s location.”

With all three now recovered, no obstacles remained; Ye Chen was ready to resume hunting for Ye Luo’er.

“Roar!”

Right then, a dragon’s roar erupted unexpectedly, and Ye Chen’s gaze ignited with fierce intensity.

“Luo’er!”
