The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3701 - 3691: A Letter

"To possess the Six Dao Order, how could he not be a Great Destiny Seeker?" Zhou Jiu Tong thought to himself.

But when Wu Duan Cang heard Zhou Jiu Tong speak, a wave of concern washed over him, prompting him to say, "Zhenyuan Palace has countless tricks and might have already discovered Ye Chen’s heaven-defying spiritual root."

"Oh?"

A sharp light flickered across Zhou Jiu Tong’s gaze as he declared, "No matter how formidable Zhenyuan Palace’s techniques are, could they possibly outmatch our sect’s Six Paths Spirit Seeking Array?"

Wu Duan Cang froze upon those words. The Six Paths Spirit Seeking Array stood as a supreme formation introduced by the Grandmaster at the height of the Six Paths Sect, able to sense every living being across the heavens and earth—the ultimate in detection arrays.

If the mighty Six Paths Spirit Seeking Array failed to uncover Ye Chen’s exceptional gifts, then Zhenyuan Palace had no chance either.

With this realization, Wu Duan Cang eased up somewhat and gave a nod, "I’m not concerned about that part, but Ye Chen tends to act on impulse. I fear he might stir up huge trouble at Zhenyuan Palace and risk his very life."

"Ye Chen possesses far more wisdom than you imagine."

Zhou Jiu Tong shook his head right then, his form blurring before he vanished entirely from the Six Paths Temple.

"I hope the young one stays safe."

Wu Duan Cang sighed in helplessness at the sight and departed the Six Paths Temple as well. Despite Zhou Jiu Tong’s reassurances, full peace evaded him, so he chose to make preparations ahead of Ye Chen’s journey to Zhenyuan Palace.

In a flash, three days slipped by, and during that time, word of Ye Chen’s impending visit to Zhenyuan Palace dominated all chatter within the Six Paths Sect. Endless disciples ridiculed him, convinced he’d suffer utter humiliation there.

"Hmph, it’d be perfect if that brat perished at Zhenyuan Palace!" Lei Rong snarled through clenched teeth, glaring toward Netherworld Peak.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jin fixed his gaze on Netherworld Peak too, a mocking grin plastered on his face, "With your cocky attitude, you’re bound for endless shame at Zhenyuan Palace. Lose your temper, and you’ll pay dearly!"

Ye Chen remained oblivious to the scheming thoughts of these individuals. Even if aware, he’d dismiss them without a second thought.

Over those three days, Ye Chen stabilized his breakthrough to the Sixth Level of Heavenly God Realm, boosting his strength even more.

Just as Ye Chen prepared to depart, Liu Yunmiao and Yang Qianyu fretted deeply, insisting on joining him along the way.

"No need for that."

Ye Chen glanced at Liu Yunmiao and Yang Qianyu, dismissing them with a steady wave, "Heading to Zhenyuan Palace guarantees chaos. Tagging along would endanger you both. Remain here in the sect."

"Senior Brother, the danger is exactly why we wish to accompany you."

Yang Qianyu shook his head firmly, while Liu Yunmiao stared resolutely at Ye Chen, her resolve unmistakable.

Right then, Wu Duan Cang’s authoritative and booming voice echoed throughout the Six Paths Sect.

"Ye Chen, come to me at once."

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up at the call. He said goodbye to Liu Yunmiao and Yang Qianyu before rushing directly to Six Paths Peak.

Six Paths Peak served as Sect Master Wu Duan Cang’s personal cultivation sanctuary, whereas the Six Paths Temple handled only sect affairs. Thus, meeting Wu Duan Cang required going to Six Paths Peak.

Upon reaching the base of Six Paths Peak, a tremendous force erupted, ripping open space and pulling Ye Chen inside instantly.

Ye Chen passed through the void and materialized in the vast hall atop Six Paths Peak. There sat Wu Duan Cang in his robe, poised at the table, silently appraising Ye Chen.

"You’ve come."

Wu Duan Cang stated, his eyes fixed on Ye Chen.

"Yes. Might I inquire why the sect master has called for me?"

Ye Chen nodded in response, intrigued, yet he suspected the summons tied to his Zhenyuan Palace excursion.

Wu Duan Cang’s gaze shifted subtly at Ye Chen’s question before he continued, "You likely know this concerns your journey to Zhenyuan Palace without my saying it. I have just one demand."

"What is it?"

An eyebrow arched on Ye Chen’s face; he figured it might involve not shaming the Six Paths Sect. But even unspoken, Ye Chen would handle that himself.

Wu Duan Cang now regarded Ye Chen with grave intensity, his stare unwavering, "Forget everything else—simply come back alive."

"Come back alive..."

Meeting Wu Duan Cang’s eyes, Ye Chen felt his heart jolt. The sect master’s worry for his safety underscored the perilous nature of the Zhenyuan Palace trip.

"I understand." With a slow nod, Ye Chen fully grasped Wu Duan Cang’s deep respect for him; otherwise, why summon him alone for these very words.

Right then, Wu Duan Cang paused briefly, his eyes hardening with resolve as he retrieved a letter from inside his robes.

"Take this."

Wu Duan Cang passed the letter to Ye Chen. When Ye Chen opened it up, an odd look appeared on his face. The document went to Zhenyuan Palace and announced his expulsion from the Six Paths Sect.

"Sect Master, what does this mean?"

"You know well that the journey to Zhenyuan Palace brims with peril. If trouble strikes, show them this letter and claim you’re no longer a disciple of Six Paths Sect. It just might preserve your life."

Stoically, Wu Duan Cang uttered these words while his fists tightened firmly.

Evidently, Wu Duan Cang hated taking this step too, but against the might of Zhenyuan Palace, should Ye Chen face harm, this remained his sole lifeline.

However, Ye Chen’s features grew icy as he eyed the letter, then he ripped it to pieces in a flash. Sure, it looked like Six Paths Sect was casting him out, but if others learned the sect did it merely to shield one disciple, its standing would crumble.

"What are you doing!"

Wu Duan Cang’s face shifted at the sight, and he shot to his feet suddenly.

"Don’t you get it? Your life matters most! Six Paths Sect can afford to lose a bit of face!"

Coldly, Wu Duan Cang declared this. The Six Paths Sect had squandered plenty of prestige through the years, and beyond those inside still dreaming of former splendor, the wider world viewed the Six Paths Sect as devoid of any honor or pride.

Ye Chen stayed impassive before Wu Duan Cang, then stated, "Sect Master, even before entering the sect, I swore to restore the Six Paths Sect and elevate it to the top sect of the Outer Realm. Those weren’t empty words, nor a mere jest!"

"The Six Paths Sect has languished in decline far too long. Resurgence is overdue. I have no use for this letter, and I won’t perish!"

Resolute, Ye Chen stared at Wu Duan Cang. "Trust me—I will surely guide the Six Paths Sect back to glory!"

Wu Duan Cang’s look flickered through various emotions, yet a spark ignited gradually in his gaze as he regarded Ye Chen.

"Sigh..."

Suddenly, Wu Duan Cang let out a heavy sigh. Ye Chen’s prodigious talent was known to him, and he trusted the young man could revive the Six Paths Sect, provided time passed and Ye Chen grew without harm.

But now, Ye Chen rejected the protective letter from Wu Duan Cang, opting instead to brave Zhenyuan Palace head-on, filling Wu Duan Cang with profound unease.

"Forget it."

Vigorously shaking his head, Wu Duan Cang added with a chill gleaming in his eyes, "The Six Paths Sect truly needs transformation. Since you insist, then go ahead."

"Should anything befall you, the Six Paths Sect won’t sit idle!"

A mighty aura erupted from Wu Duan Cang, immense and awe-inspiring, radiating ultimate authority. As leader of the Six Paths Sect, Wu Duan Cang commanded a truly terrifying power.

For years, the Six Paths Sect had stayed quiet, ever wary of vengeful foes, yielding at every turn—even its former friend Zhenyuan Palace now mocked it openly.

Wu Duan Cang understood clearly: if this persisted, the Six Paths Sect would forfeit its very soul. A sect stripped of the will to fight marks the start of its doom.
