The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3590 - 3580: A Steady Attitude (First Update)

Observing Ye Chen's moment of hesitation, Han Wenxin issued another reminder, "The Outer Realm differs vastly from the Divine Kingdom. I urge you to ponder this deeply."

"Senior, I have no choice but to proceed. Moreover, as cultivators, we confront the heavens and fellow beings; since when do we shrink from danger? Should we dread life and death, how could we ever attain true greatness?"

Ye Chen found himself unable to resist staring at Han Wenxin and challenging his views. Despite Han Wenxin being a mighty figure in the Samsara Graveyard with potential concealed powers, Ye Chen simply refused to embrace such a mindset.

"You fail to grasp it."

Han Wenxin sighed with regret, shaking his head, "This isn't about fear—it's prudence. Throughout existence, one must steer clear of Karma's entanglements and proceed only after meticulous deliberation. Preserve utter composure at all times and avoid rashly entering peril, lest even the most brilliant talent meet a sorrowful fate!"

A deep intensity filled Han Wenxin's eyes as memories of bygone incidents surfaced. He lamented his failure to stay utterly composed in every circumstance; had he done so, those three strands of Karma would never have ensnared him...

"Senior, I must respectfully differ; I have to attend to this issue. I won't allow her to perish."

Ye Chen resolutely shook his head.

"Sigh, very well then, proceed. Should a catastrophe of immense scale befall you, I shall not offer aid."

Han Wenxin gestured dismissively with his hand before turning away to depart.

In that instant, Ye Chen couldn't restrain himself from asking, "Senior, how does one so wary of mortality rise to become a top powerhouse in the Samsara Graveyard?"

Han Wenxin's form went rigid upon hearing those words. He pivoted back, fixed Ye Chen with a piercing stare, and then averted his eyes.

"One last time: avoid weaving too many Karma ties, and refrain from heedlessly interfering in others' matters. heed it or ignore it— that's your choice."

Upon finishing, Han Wenxin moved on without delay, vanishing entirely from sight.

As he observed Han Wenxin's departure, Ye Chen's expression grew intricate. Han Wenxin viewed his approach as mere caution, yet to Ye Chen, it bordered on excessive cowardice.

Subsequently, Ye Chen pulled his awareness back from the Samsara Graveyard. He resolved to disregard Han Wenxin's counsel. Each person carries their responsibilities, and some fates demand detachment. The enigmatic woman had rescued him on multiple occasions. To overlook her current crisis would render him unworthy of his humanity!

...

In the meantime, upon a colossal mountain summit that pierced toward the boundless starry expanse, fierce gales roared while ceaseless frozen flakes and blizzards swirled like razor blades across the cosmos.

Standing on this summit were two silhouettes. One radiated an intensely regal presence, her features concealed by a veil, her stare frosty and unyielding. This was Wei Ying.

Bai positioned herself beside Wei Ying, her face etched with concern.

Right then, Bai cast a glance toward Wei Ying, prodded Wu Mang at her side, and blurted out, "Palace Master, allow me to stall them. Wu Mang can escort you to safety first."

"Stall them?"

Wei Ying regarded Bai with serene composure, giving a faint headshake, "You possess insufficient strength to stall them, which would merely hasten your destruction."

"Yet Palace Master..." Bai faltered briefly before pressing on, "These factions pursue you solely to seize Emperor Juehan's hidden legacy. Your well-being outweighs my existence. The secret of Emperor Juehan must remain guarded."

"No, your existence holds value."

Wei Ying let out a gentle laugh in response, then summoned a Jade Box into her grasp with a simple motion.

Within the raging storm of wind and snow, the Jade Box cast forth a soothing radiance that warded off the unrelenting chill. Hongmeng Aura flowed around it, its luster otherworldly and remarkably mystical.

"Ye Chen has ventured into the Nine Death Realm. Locate him and deliver this Jade Box."

Resolute determination gleamed in Wei Ying's gaze as she addressed Bai with firm authority.

"Palace Master!"

Hearing this, Bai grew visibly distressed. Wei Ying rejected any notion of her confronting the pursuers, yet leaving felt wrong too. She yearned to stand by the Palace Master in battle.

"Silence."

Wei Ying's eyes chilled as she commanded, "This task carries utmost urgency. Execute it without delay. Depart."

With those words, intricate rune patterns ignited in Wei Ying's eyes, conjuring a formation array right in front of her.

"Boom!"

A surge of light burst forth, manifesting a immense, shadowy portal behind Bai, radiating profound Nihility Aura.

"Depart."

Wei Ying flicked her wrist, propelling Bai irresistibly into the portal, which sealed shut immediately after.

The expansive region spanning a thousand miles fell under the control of those adversaries, forcing Wei Ying to employ this method to dispatch Bai; without it, escape under their vigilance proved impossible.

Though Wei Ying could enable Bai's departure, her own flight remained out of reach, as the foes had already imposed some restriction upon her. Even if she couldn't identify it precisely, she understood they could monitor her location at will.

Should Wei Ying flee alongside Bai, relentless pursuit would follow. Rather than endless evasion, she preferred to first devise a solution for the binding imposed on her.

Next, Wei Ying directed a icy stare afar, where the presence of Heavenly Repairing Realm powerhouses pulsed, signaling their rapid approach.

Wei Ying shut her eyes then, turning her focus inward, and sensed a shadowy rune bound to the blood coursing through her vessels.

The rune hid exceptionally well, betraying no trace of energy. Only thanks to Wei Ying's keen perception had she uncovered it.

"Hmph, Heaven Concealing Mark—impressive skill indeed!"

Identifying the seal, Wei Ying let out a disdainful huff. A powerful surge emanated from her, obliterating the rune in an instant.

Once the seal was purged, Wei Ying snapped her eyes open. An overwhelming force billowed as she executed seals with her hands, readying her escape.

However, in that very instant, shadowy forms had encircled her completely, their stares hostile and brimming with avarice.

All these intruders were unequivocally Heavenly Repairing Realm cultivators, including several at the fifth-level Supreme Emperor stage, their immense and savage energies soaring upward, poised to rend the entire firmament asunder.

Dozens of such Heavenly Repairing Realm masters gathered there, instilling profound terror. The colossal Hongmeng Energy they amassed coalesced into a fog that blanketed the heavens, draping a somber veil across the firmament.

The foremost among them, a fifth-level Supreme Emperor realm authority in ebony armor bearing a fiery rune upon his forehead, regarded Wei Ying with a chilling, unending smirk.

"Woman, escape is beyond you."

"Hmph, should flight prove impossible, I'll simply eradicate you all."

Wei Ying's energy exploded outward; as the sovereign of Juehan Palace, she commanded unparalleled dominion, tolerating no insolence.

This dominion washed over the array of Heavenly Repairing Realm masters, causing subtle shifts in their countenances. Though her personal might didn't daunt them, the weight of her authority alone evoked a shiver of unease.

"Indeed, the essence of Emperor Juehan clings to you. What ties bind you to Emperor Juehan?"
