The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3609 - 3599: They Still Came!

Initially, Zhan You held a dismissive view regarding the rumored Heavenly Spirit Essence. However, now that it involved Jin Shuhui, he was absolutely determined to make it his own.

His motivations were straightforward: he sought vengeance against Ye Chen, and he could not fathom failing to possess a woman he desired, especially when she originated from the insignificant Star Swirl Domain.

Standing behind Zhan You, a man in cyan robes—characterized by a sallow face, hooked nose, and eyes with excessive white visible—remarked, "Young Master, why bother yourself with these insolent fools from the humble Refining God Peak? It hardly seems necessary to involve Elder Qiu when Brother Li Chang and I are more than capable of handling them ourselves."

The speaker was Xu Qi. At his side stood Li Chang, a tall, gaunt man whose features were icy and reflected deep arrogance.

Li Chang was quick to agree, adding, "Brother Xu Qi is entirely correct. With us in control of the situation here, what soul in Refining God Peak would dare to act recklessly in your presence, Young Master?"

Both men felt that the inclusion of Elder Qiu was an insult to their own competence.

Zhan You offered a knowing smile and replied, "Do not mistake my caution for a lack of confidence in you both. It is merely that the boy is shrouded in mystery, and his true support remains hidden. To ensure there are no mishaps, I brought Elder Qiu along as a precaution."

Upon hearing this reasoning, the tension in Li Chang and Xu Qi’s posture eased, though they still appeared somewhat perplexed.

What exactly had this youth done to cause Young Master You such distress?

Was he truly so dangerous that he warranted such meticulous caution from the Young Master?

Finally, the elderly man in the light yellow, coarse robe—notable for his chest-length eyebrows and stoic expression—spoke slowly. "It was my lapse in judgment before that nearly led to disaster for the Young Master, and for that, I take full responsibility. Regardless of the circumstances or sentiments, it is only right that I accompany you now. Let us speak no further of it."

Zhan You bowed respectfully toward the elder and said, "Elder Qiu, you are too modest."

This man, Qiu Pi, possessed strength that, while perhaps not the pinnacle of the Zhan Family, was formidable nonetheless.

In fact, his cultivation level trailed that of the family patriarch by only a narrow margin.

If the whispers were to be believed, Qiu Pi’s origins were far from ordinary.

Qiu Pi remained silent, his eyes flickering with cold intent. He snorted, "To offend the Zhan Family is a death sentence. Rest assured, Young Master; even if the other factions in the Star Swirl Domain attempt to interfere, I will personally ensure that the boy is erased from this reality."

He continued, "Furthermore, many powerhouses from the Star Swirl Domain are currently occupied hunting for the woman who inherited the legacy of Emperor Juehan, all moving toward the Nine Death Realm. Most of these individuals are occupied elsewhere."

"There is no significant oversight currently watching over Refining God Peak, so you have nothing to fear."

Hearing this, joy illuminated Zhan You’s face. A sneer of pure hatred contorted his features as he muttered, "Ye Chen, let us see how you manage to salvage this situation!"

Zhan You had to admit that Ye Chen was a terrifying entity; his potential, mental fortitude, and cunning had repeatedly defied all his expectations.

Even the proud Zhan You had felt a sense of inadequacy compared to Ye Chen.

Yet, what did that matter in the end?

Ye Chen had not yet fully matured.

In such a brief interval, regardless of his heaven-defying talent, it was physically impossible for his power to have advanced significantly, right?

Even if he had improved, could he truly surpass the third level of the Heavenly Repairing Realm?

That was nothing more than a laughable fantasy.

If one could reach such heights merely by wishing for it, the path of Cultivation would have no meaning at all.

Zhan You, hailing from the Moon Soul Domain, was acutely aware of how arduous the path to the Heavenly Repairing Realm proved to be for the average practitioner.

Only one in ten thousand gifted cultivators ever achieved such a breakthrough.

Furthermore, once one crossed that threshold, the subsequent progress required exponentially greater effort.

History was littered with geniuses who had stalled in a minor realm for their entire lives, never moving beyond it.

Did Ye Chen honestly believe he could surpass the third level of the Heavenly Repairing Realm so quickly? It was impossible.

Ferocity surged within Zhan You’s eyes. As far as he was concerned, Ye Chen was already a dead man walking.

Defying him would be a choice Ye Chen would regret in his final moments. The prospect of snuffing out such immense talent while it was still developing filled him with a dark, twisted pleasure.

Consumed by this thought, his impatience grew.

The four of them transformed into golden streaks of light, surging rapidly toward the Refining God Peak.

Within the confines of Refining God Peak, the atmosphere was currently thriving. The gloom caused by the loss of the former Divine Master and his subordinates had evaporated, and the disciples seemed bolstered by newfound hope.

But suddenly, every face turned rigid.

Cold sweat began to soak through their clothing as an unbearable pressure swept from the horizon.

Panic took hold of their minds. What was happening?

The entity approaching Refining God Peak with such undisguised, malicious pressure clearly held no good intentions.

Yet, all the nearby factions were supposed to be allied with Refining God Peak now. Who would dare to invade?

More importantly, this pressure was beyond their comprehension.

What kind of existence wielded such overwhelming strength?

Even the pressure once exerted by their former leader, Song Ziqing, seemed minor compared to this mountain-crushing intensity.

A profound sense of despair took root within them.

Had they perhaps provoked an entity far beyond their ability to survive?

Their blood drained from their faces, leaving them deathly pale.

If that were the case, Refining God Peak was surely meeting its end.

Meanwhile, Lan Ying, who had been meditating in a secret chamber, underwent an immediate change upon detecting the aura of Li Chang and his companions. In a heartbeat, she appeared at the peak of the mountain, her expression grave as she stared at the rapidly arriving figures in the distance.

Jin Shuhui joined her moments later, her lovely face drained of color. "Master, what is this?"

Lan Ying replied in a grim, heavy tone, "If my senses are accurate, the Zhan Family has come. I never imagined Zhan You would actually retaliate directly against Ye Chen. Shuhui, use the method I gave you to contact the Refining God Artifact and alert Ye Chen immediately. The survival of Refining God Peak now depends entirely on him!"

Jin Shuhui nodded, though she frowned with anxiety. "Master, Ye Chen requires time to arrive. Until then..."

Lan Ying’s gaze hardened. "Do not worry. I have a way to defend the peak. No matter the cost, I will hold them off until he arrives!"

Jin Shuhui was shocked but refrained from protest. She quickly formed the necessary hand seals to begin the conjuration, knowing they had no choice but to rely on her Master.

High above the clouds of Refining God Peak, several figures manifested—Zhan You and his cohorts had arrived.
