The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3675 - 3665: The Prestige of the Grandmaster!

"Hmm?" Nan Fengyin lightly creased her eyebrows, snapped shut the roster she held, and turned her gaze toward Yuan Ping. "What are you implying? Where has Ye Chen vanished to, and why should it shock me?"

From the moment Ye Chen departed, a strange restlessness had plagued her, pushing her to even ponder dispatching an assassin to take him out!

After all, Ye Chen stood out as far too exceptional! Nan Fengyin figured that having already crossed him, it was wiser to uproot the danger entirely; left alive, he might emerge as a massive future peril!

Besides, given Ye Chen’s astonishing martial prowess, gaining notice from any power in the Yangzhen Domain could propel him to great heights. Should that happen, even allying with a Yangzhen Domain faction might leave her unable to counter him!

Yet Ye Chen remained shrouded in enigma, and barring dire necessity, she preferred avoiding total enmity with him...

Thus, she dispatched Yuan Ping to track Ye Chen’s location, knowing only his movements would bring her peace of mind.

Yuan Ping’s grin widened brilliantly as he declared, "Palace Master, rest easy. My probes reveal that despite his cool facade, this brat is likely terrified to his core! He actually fled straight to the Six Paths Sect! Hahaha, clearly the Palace Master overrated him!"

Hearing this, Nan Fengyin couldn’t resist querying, "The Six Paths Sect, that decayed ruin? You’re certain?"

Yuan Ping chuckled heartily, "He zipped past us without a hitch; how could there be doubt? If the Palace Master wishes, I’ll seal the footage of Ye Chen entering the Six Paths Sect into an Image Capturing Crystal for your viewing."

Nan Fengyin felt a jolt of surprise; Ye Chen had truly headed to the Six Paths Sect?

Did he believe the Six Paths Sect could shield him?

True, the Six Paths Sect once ruled supreme, claiming top spot in the Outer Realm and dominating the Heavenly Human Domain, but today its strength falls short of even my Star Moon Palace!

This truly caught her off guard. At first, she’d viewed Ye Chen as a bold hero, not some dimwit prone to folly.

Yet now, it appeared Ye Chen was nothing but a spineless idiot!

Nan Fengyin let out a mocking laugh, "That poor Yunyan girl actually pinned hopes on this fool? Heh, little does she know, he’s panicked so badly he’s chasing a hopeless cure! Hahahaha!"

At last, her final traces of concern melted away, leaving her utterly at ease.

With Ye Chen joining the Six Paths Sect, no matter if they took him in or rejected him, his shot at linking with Yangzhen Domain powers had dropped to nil!

Put simply, Ye Chen’s hope of reversal had evaporated entirely, rendering him harmless to her!

She flipped open the roster once more, lounging back against her chair with casual grace, flipping through its details idly.

...

Parting ways with Xu Shenglong, Ye Chen swiftly reached the Six Paths Sect’s stronghold.

Long ago, the Six Paths Sect towered as an elite power in the Outer Realm, its base nestled at the heart of the Heavenly Human Domain. But as eras shifted, it withered and sank to the Moon Soul Domain’s level.

Still, a once-mighty camel outstrips the strongest horse; the Six Paths Sect, from its pinnacle days, clings to profound legacies and holds solid standing in the Moon Soul Domain.

Though that standing carries a tainted edge.

In the Moon Soul Domain, every soul knows precisely where to find the Six Paths Sect.

Ye Chen thus arrived effortlessly at the Six Paths Sect’s mountain entrance, where a striking stone statue stirred deep feelings within him.

This statue depicted the Six Paths Sect’s founding Grandmaster, Ye Chen’s old apprentice, the Six Paths Artifact Spirit named Xiao Shuihan.

The figure carved here differed slightly from Ye Chen’s recollections, for in those days, Xiao Shuihan had been merely a playful underling.

But after Ye Chen’s downfall, Xiao Shuihan forged a mighty empire like the Six Paths Sect and boldly clashed with Xuan Jiyue, wounding her gravely.

This statue captured Xiao Shuihan at his zenith; even in stone, it radiated an invincible, dauntless presence.

Staring at the statue, Ye Chen’s gaze grew profound, and he murmured, "Xiao, your master has come back."

"In your last life, master wronged you and blocked your dreams, but now, master swears to revive the Six Paths Sect’s lost splendor, crowning it the Outer Realm’s supreme sect, lording over the All Heavens!"

"Xiao, no matter if you're alive or dead right now, I swear as your master that I'll track down your location—alive, I'll see you in person; dead, I'll see your corpse!"

Once Ye Chen uttered these words, the stone statue started releasing strange tremors right then, and with those vibrations, an overwhelming majesty surged forth, extending straight into the heavens.

In the same instant, the stone statue morphed into a towering and profound shadow figure, enveloped by boundless might, radiating tremendous power filled with deep respect and longing, as it gazed upon Ye Chen while half-kneeling in a disciple's bow.

"Xiao!"

Witnessing this sight, Ye Chen's eyes grew moist with emotion; it was truly Xiao Shuihan's shadow. He couldn't hold back and stepped forward to help him rise.

Yet right at that moment, the stone statue's bizarre motions had already drawn the notice of the Six Paths Sect disciples, who hurried over to probe the disturbance.

Xiao Shuihan's shadow figure regarded Ye Chen with deep fondness, then flicked his hand, sending a token drifting toward Ye Chen. Simultaneously, the shadow dissolved into vast mists that blanketed the entire sky, blocking anyone from uncovering the events.

As Xiao Shuihan's shadow figure faded away, Ye Chen steadied his feelings and turned his gaze to the token now resting in his grasp.

This token was engraved with the words "Six Paths," brimming with enigmatic and immense Divine Might, its very aura sufficient to inspire awe in beholders.

The token's material was utterly unique, something Ye Chen had never encountered, completely indestructible, and it even radiated majestic Source Qi, making it exceptionally superior.

"This is..."

Ye Chen stared intently at the token, and in the next instant, streams of information flooded into his mind via the token.

"Six Paths Order!"

Upon reviewing the details in his mind, Ye Chen grasped the token's true nature.

It had been personally forged by Xiao Shuihan, embodying the ultimate authority of the Six Paths Sect. Holding this order meant the Six Paths Artifact Spirit was personally present.

Even though its existence was known to all, no one had ever laid eyes on it, for Xiao Shuihan never passed it to anyone after crafting it, rendering the Six Paths Order a legendary myth.

Right then, the mists from Xiao Shuihan's shadow figure scattered, restoring clarity to the world, as Six Paths Sect members emerged.

The stone statue had morphed into the shadow figure and vanished entirely, leaving Ye Chen alone at its original position, which made the arriving gate-guarding disciples from the Six Paths Sect display furious glares.

"Who are you? How dare you stir up trouble at our Six Paths Sect?"

"Talk! Where did you hide the Grandmaster's stone statue? How dare you tamper with the Grandmaster's statue—are you seeking death?"

These two gate-guarding disciples were seething with rage. Though the Six Paths Sect had faded from its former splendor, the Grandmaster remained the sect's most sacred figure; with the statue now gone and Ye Chen the sole presence here, suspicion naturally fell on him for meddling.

"I just got here, and I didn't see any statue."

Ye Chen shook his head in denial, unwilling to expose his bond with Xiao Shuihan or reveal the Six Paths Order's existence.

Yet today, he was resolute in discovering the true state of the Six Paths Sect, founded by his most playful disciple!

By rank and lineage, he bore the exalted position of Grandmaster over the entire Six Paths Sect!
