The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3700 - 3690: Insolence! (Eight Updates)

Right now, Shi Baomiao observed the hall's scene with an peculiar look. Ye Chen heading to Zhenyuan Palace suited them well, allowing another opportunity to shame the Six Paths Sect.

Yet, witnessing the Six Paths Temple thrown into such frenzy over this issue filled Shi Baomiao with great delight. The Six Paths Sect's internal strife seemed like a hilarious farce to him, material he planned to recount at Zhenyuan Palace for everyone's amusement.

In the meantime, turmoil gripped the hall, and Wu Duan Cang's face subtly altered as he heard Ye Chen accept the trip to Zhenyuan Palace, a trace of concealed worry gleaming in his eyes.

"Enough! Everyone, shut up!"

Wu Duan Cang roared suddenly, his formidable aura bursting out and sweeping across the entire hall, even making Shi Baomiao tense up in astonishment from the crushing pressure.

"Arguing like this in the temple—what sort of discipline is that?"

Wu Duan Cang declared icily, then turned to Ye Chen. "Ye Chen, the feud between Zhenyuan Palace and the Six Paths Sect doesn't involve you; get out now."

Hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head. "Sect Master, Zhenyuan Palace and our Six Paths Sect have been longtime allies with no recent ties. Allow me to pay a visit at least once."

"Insolence! How dare you defy my command!"

Wu Duan Cang's face darkened abruptly, his hand lifting as a devastating force that could shatter heaven and earth gathered, ready to hurl Ye Chen out of the hall by force.

But at that instant, a grand aura exploded forth, and a figure materialized in the hall, forcing Wu Duan Cang to drop his hand.

"Grand Elder."

Wu Duan Cang glanced at the arriving elder, his face showing surprise.

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

All Six Paths Sect elders bowed deeply in respect, and even the arrogant Shi Baomiao stood deferentially before Zhou Jiu Tong, a genuine powerhouse of the Six Paths Sect whom none dared offend.

Now, Zhou Jiu Tong positioned himself in the hall, shooting a chilling look at Shi Baomiao that sent him shivering like he had fallen into a frozen hell.

Next, Zhou Jiu Tong regarded Wu Duan Cang. "If Ye Chen wants to go, then let him."

"Grand Elder, this..."

Wu Duan Cang's gaze wavered at those words, puzzled by Zhou Jiu Tong's motive.

Wu Duan Cang opposed Ye Chen's departure not to spare the Six Paths Sect embarrassment, but to safeguard Ye Chen's well-being.

Ye Chen possessed exceptional talent; revealing it en route could draw endless threats.

Wu Duan Cang viewed Ye Chen as the Six Paths Sect's key to resurgence and thus hesitated to let him face such risks.

Furthermore, Wu Duan Cang knew Zhou Jiu Tong must recognize Ye Chen's gifts too—after all, Ye Chen had revived him—yet now he urged the trip to Zhenyuan Palace?

Locking eyes, Zhou Jiu Tong sensed Wu Duan Cang's concerns and nodded calmly. "If he wants to go, let him go."

Zhou Jiu Tong repeated firmly.

"Very well, if you say so, we'll follow your will."

Wu Duan Cang agreed with a nod, then faced Ye Chen. "Then get ready to accompany Elder Shi to Zhenyuan Palace."

With that, Wu Duan Cang's eyes flashed as he called out involuntarily, "Ye Chen."

"Disciple is here." Ye Chen met Wu Duan Cang's gaze, his heart touched deeply.

"Bear in mind, our sects share a long friendship. Act with caution at Zhenyuan Palace and avoid harming ties between the Six Paths Sect and Zhenyuan Palace."

From this, Ye Chen grasped the underlying caution in Wu Duan Cang's advice and bowed seriously. "Disciple understands."

Now, the elders stared in confusion at Zhou Jiu Tong's abrupt arrival, baffled why the Grand Elder would dispatch Ye Chen to Zhenyuan Palace—wasn't that a disgrace for the Six Paths Sect?

Meanwhile, Zhenyuan Palace members, seeing even the Grand Elder approve Ye Chen's visit, treated it as settled, and Shi Baomiao grinned smugly.

"Then we'll head back first to ready a grand welcome ceremony for Ye Chen."

Shi Baomiao revealed a sly smirk, eyeing Ye Chen with loaded intent.

"Wonderful, many thanks, Elder Shi."

Ye Chen appeared unaware, offering a polite bow.

"Haha, no trouble at all!"

Shi Baomiao chuckled aloud, though inside he scoffed, deeming Ye Chen naive for expecting hospitality—upon reaching Zhenyuan Palace, he'd taste true ruthlessness!

The Zhenyuan Palace contingent, nursing secret schemes, departed alongside Shi Baomiao, while Wu Duan Cang instructed Ye Chen to head back to Netherworld Peak for preparations, setting off for Zhenyuan Palace in three days.

Upon returning to Netherworld Peak, the word of Ye Chen’s upcoming journey to Zhenyuan Palace rapidly swept through the entire sect. Right now, Liu Yunmiao positioned himself gravely at the entrance of the grand hall, standing next to Yang Qianyu.

"Senior Brother, how could you consent to visiting Zhenyuan Palace? They’re bound to shame you and could even bring about your downfall there."

Liu Yunmiao caught sight of Ye Chen and immediately voiced his concerns with deep anxiety, his face brimming with apprehension.

"Indeed, Senior Brother, that choice was too rash. I get your long-standing grudge against Zhenyuan Palace, but with the Six Paths Sect’s decline, we can’t rival them. We have to hold back."

Yang Qianyu shook his head too, voicing his helplessness, deeming Ye Chen’s choice overly hasty.

"Hold back?"

At those words, a smirk tugged at Ye Chen’s lips, "Let a trifling Zhenyuan Palace trample us—that’s not the way of our Six Paths Sect anymore! Not with me here to crush their insolence!"

Liu Yunmiao and Yang Qianyu were stunned by Ye Chen’s bold declaration, a flicker of hope igniting in their gazes before it faded as they shook their heads once more.

Though Ye Chen’s fervent words ignited their blood, the present-day Six Paths Sect still fell short against Zhenyuan Palace, which now sheltered the prodigious holy maiden Feng Yusi, famed throughout the Moon Soul Domain.

"Rest easy, I’ll be fine at Zhenyuan Palace—no danger, certainly not my end."

Ye Chen clapped both men reassuringly on the shoulders as the doors of the grand hall swung wide, "Three days remain, so I need to make preparations too."

With Ye Chen guiding Liu Yunmiao and Yang Qianyu into Netherworld Hall, just two figures lingered within the Six Paths Temple.

Wu Duan Cang and Zhou Jiu Tong faced one another, their faces etched with gravity, brows knitted in deep concern.

"Grand Elder, you know full well how vital Ye Chen is. His extraordinary gifts mean any accident at Zhenyuan Palace spells disaster for our Six Paths Sect."

A touch of exasperation colored Wu Duan Cang’s glance toward Zhou Jiu Tong, baffled at why the Grand Elder permitted Ye Chen’s trip to Zhenyuan Palace.

But upon Wu Duan Cang’s remark, a subtle smile played on Zhou Jiu Tong’s lips, his eyes deep and piercing as they locked onto Netherworld Peak’s direction.

Zhou Jiu Tong grasped Ye Chen’s crucial role perfectly, especially since Ye Chen possessed the Six Paths Order, rendering him the sect’s pivotal figure.

Because of this, Zhou Jiu Tong deferred to Ye Chen’s choices; if Ye Chen insisted on going to Zhenyuan Palace, then it was permitted.

"Have no fears."

Zhou Jiu Tong offered Wu Duan Cang a serene smile, his lengthy eyebrows swaying gently, "Ye Chen bears the mark of a Great Destiny Seeker; no harm will befall him, and Zhenyuan Palace won’t pierce the veil of his unparalleled talent."
