The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3720: 3706: Ren Zhi's Intent (Second Update)

“Impossible!”

“How can the guardian deity aid an outsider like Ye Chen!”

“Father!”

Hua Baomin and a multitude of Zhenyuan Palace disciples looked on with utter disbelief. Despair flooded them as their very own guardian deity intervened on behalf of Ye Chen, an outsider.

The elders of Zhenyuan Palace, including Yang Tiangyang himself, were equally dumbfounded. Witnessing the guardian deity eliminate an elder for the Six Paths Sect’s Ye Chen was beyond their comprehension.

At this juncture, the world felt utterly surreal to everyone present, a mere illusion. Even those from Southern Saint City, Jun Mo and Elder Gao Lin included, questioned the reality of the unfolding events.

Everything had transpired too swiftly, too mysteriously; nobody wished to accept the astonishing sight.

Feng Yusi, lying in a gaping crater, gazed at Ye Chen with a mixture of fear and shock. In that moment, many truths became clear. It dawned on her why Ye Chen had displayed such unwavering arrogance and dominance from the very beginning.

Despite the imposing presence of Zhenyuan Palace, Ye Chen stood like an unyielding solitary tree, refusing to bow his head.

Feng Yusi now understood that Ye Chen's confidence stemmed from his foreknowledge of the guardian deity's intervention. This assurance was the bedrock of his audacious demeanor.

“We were misguided from the outset. Ye Chen wasn't merely arrogant; he was assured of his triumph. Regardless of the circumstances, Zhenyuan Palace is no match for Ye Chen…”

A chilling glint entered Feng Yusi’s eyes as she recalled the peculiar phenomenon when Ye Chen first interacted with the guardian deity. At the time, everyone in Zhenyuan Palace assumed Ye Chen had provoked its wrath. However, it was now evident they had been profoundly mistaken.

With a swift motion, the guardian deity disintegrated Hua Wufa into a mist of blood. Its colossal golden eyes then pivoted towards Yang Tiangyang.

The sect master of Zhenyuan Palace, a figure of immense authority, felt an icy dread cascade down his spine as the guardian deity’s gaze fell upon him, his back instantly slick with cold sweat.

Yang Tiangyang sensed that any hostile action against Ye Chen would result in his immediate demise, similar to Hua Wufa’s fate.

Though his cultivation far surpassed Hua Wufa’s and even the Heavenly Repairing Realm, Yang Tiangyang felt utterly powerless against the guardian deity. The outcome of any conflict would be his swift annihilation.

Panic seized Yang Tiangyang, a potent cocktail of fear towards both the guardian deity and Ye Chen. Profound questions about Ye Chen’s identity swirled in his mind. Who was this individual that the guardian deity would readily slay members of their own Sect for?

“The Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect…”

A wry smile touched Yang Tiangyang’s lips. “Little wonder, little wonder he could attain the position of Chief Disciple even within the Heavenly God Realm; there must be a profound reason for it all.”

The entirety of Southern Saint City was stunned by the spectacle. Jun Mo and Elder Gao Lin, among them, watched in bewildered silence as the sky crackled with potent killing intent, imbued with the guardian deity’s immeasurable Great Power.

“Sect Leader Yang, were you not intending to eliminate me?”

Ye Chen’s voice, laced with a playful smirk, addressed Yang Tiangyang, whose expression flickered erratically.

“Hiss!”

Yang Tiangyang gasped sharply at Ye Chen’s words, feeling the overwhelming killing intent of the guardian deity pressing down, nearly plunging him into an abyss of despair.

Terrified, Yang Tiangyang hastily responded, “How could I possibly seek your demise? You are the esteemed Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect, a benefactor to our Zhenyuan Palace. I have always considered you a distinguished guest; all previous matters were merely a jest!”

Yang Tiangyang’s declaration left the elders and disciples of Zhenyuan Palace utterly speechless. His shamelessness was astounding, twisting the truth with effortless conviction, as if uttering gospel.

“Hahaha!”

Ye Chen erupted into laughter upon hearing Yang Tiangyang’s words, regarding him with amusement.

Lv Tianlu observed Yang Tiangyang with a peculiar expression. Having long been aware of Yang Tiangyang’s character, he was still taken aback by his complete lack of principles.

“Indeed, a person devoid of shame is truly invincible in this world.”

A silent sigh escaped Lv Tianlu. Seeing Ye Chen, he felt a surge of gratitude for heeding Jun Mo’s counsel to foster a connection with Ye Chen. Otherwise, the one facing death might well have been himself instead of Hua Wufa.

Under the guardian deity’s protective aegis, no one within Zhenyuan Palace dared to offend Ye Chen. With none possessing the might to challenge the guardian deity, and even Yang Tiangyang himself displaying deference, who would dare provoke Ye Chen?

“Forging a connection with Ye Chen was undeniably the wisest course of action.”

Lv Tianlu's eyes flickered at that moment. Ye Chen now held complete dominion over the true might of Zhenyuan Palace. Protected by the guardian deity, not even Sect Master Yang could defy Ye Chen's will. Ever since he became acquainted with Ye Chen, no one within Zhenyuan Palace dared to cross him. Even if Yang Tiangyang harbored intentions against him, Ye Chen's opinions had to be taken into serious consideration.

Ignoring the gazes of everyone present, Yang Tiangyang turned his attention to Ye Chen, a smile of appeasement spreading across his face.

"From this moment on, Feng Yusi shall serve as your maid, Ye Chen. She is yours to command."

These words sent the assembly into renewed shock. Feng Yusi's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Yang Tiangyang. The figure she had always held in the highest reverence had just uttered such a decree.

In an instant, Yang Tiangyang's once imposing image crumbled in Feng Yusi's heart. The way she looked at him was now tinged with utter contempt.

Yang Tiangyang seemed unfazed by this reaction. He addressed Ye Chen once more with a chuckle, "Now, you are most welcome within Zhenyuan Palace. We wish to host our benefactor with the utmost honor and respect."

The dramatic shift in Yang Tiangyang's demeanor left everyone astonished. The dignified sect master of Zhenyuan Palace behaving in such a manner earned him scornful glances from many onlookers.

A knowing smile played on Ye Chen's lips as he observed Yang Tiangyang. His gaze drifted to the golden dragon hovering nearby, which was fixed on Yang Tiangyang, quietly standing guard. Ye Chen offered the dragon a subtle, reassuring nod.

Subsequently, the guardian deity descended, reverting to its statue form before the gates of Zhenyuan Palace. Witnessing this, Yang Tiangyang's apprehension intensified. The fact that the guardian deity was clearly subservient to Ye Chen left him utterly terrified to even contemplate any form of opposition.

Ye Chen then looked at Yang Tiangyang and spoke calmly, "Let us proceed."

"Indeed," Yang Tiangyang replied with a swift nod. He immediately set about arranging a lavish banquet within Zhenyuan Palace, intending to entertain Ye Chen and the visiting elders of the Six Paths Sect with unparalleled hospitality. Naturally, Jun Mo remained by Ye Chen's side.

As Ye Chen and his companions made their way toward Zhenyuan Palace, Yang Tiangyang's aura abruptly surged forth, unleashing a torrent of murderous intent that pierced the heavens and swept across the entirety of Southern Saint City.
