The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3723 - 3709: Heavenly Saint Treasure Box (Fifth Update)

At this very moment, the elders and the Sect Master Wu Duan Cang of the Six Paths Sect were positioned at the mountain's entrance, witnessing Ye Chen and Elder Gao Lin descend from the heavens.

"Sect Master."

Ye Chen's eyebrows arched slightly in surprise as he observed Wu Duan Cang and the assembled group guarding the gate.

Concurrently, Ye Chen took note of their peculiar gazes, a vague suspicion dawning within him as he glanced towards Elder Gao Lin.

"Hehe."

Elder Gao offered Ye Chen a sheepish smile in response to his look, running a hand through his hair.

The fact that Ye Chen had managed to return from Zhenyuan Hall entirely uninjured was, in itself, a profound shock to the members of the Six Paths Sect.

Previously, any disciple from the Six Paths Sect who had ventured to Zhenyuan Hall had only returned utterly humiliated and gravely wounded.

What further confounded everyone was Elder Gao Lin's apparently rejuvenated appearance, adding another layer to the mystery.

In past years, invariably, any elder or disciple who attended the Zhenyuan Hall banquet would come back looking dejected and injured, never with such a vibrant and healthy demeanor.

"What in the world transpired?"

"Could it truly be as these two old men claim? Did Ye Chen actually achieve what we couldn't?"

"That's utterly impossible, isn't it? How could Ye Chen possibly defeat Feng Yusi, the most exceptional genius of Zhenyuan Hall, hailed throughout the Moon Soul Domain as their very own holy maiden?"

A hushed discussion erupted amongst many of the elders. Ye Chen, observing their hesitant reactions, remained placid, a serene smile gracing his lips, completely unfazed.

At this point, Wu Duan Cang's eyes gleamed as he regarded Ye Chen and his companions, speaking with a measured tone, "After your arduous journey, Ye Chen, return to the Samsara Graveyard and get some rest."

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Ye Chen inclined his head casually, understanding that Wu Duan Cang likely desired to debrief Elder Gao Lin privately regarding the expedition, and thus readily complied.

Without further ado, Ye Chen proceeded directly back to the Samsara Graveyard, where Liu Yunmiao and Yang Qianyu had already been awaiting his return for some time.

Their surprise was palpable upon seeing Ye Chen arrive back without a scratch, and they couldn't help but press him for details about his experiences at Zhenyuan Hall.

Upon hearing their inquiries, Ye Chen let out a soft chuckle, responding with nonchalant ease, "It was nothing significant. Zhenyuan Hall is quite pleasant, with good food and drink. I took a leisurely stroll and then headed back."

Liu Yunmiao and Yang Qianyu clearly harbored doubts upon hearing this. The Six Paths Sect was acutely aware of Zhenyuan Hall's usual disposition; there was no way they would extend such hospitality, especially not with fine food and drink.

Before they could pursue their questions further, Ye Chen preempted them, stating, "Zhenyuan Hall's stance towards the Six Paths Sect has undergone a shift. I anticipate they will dispatch someone soon."

Ye Chen's gaze drifted thoughtfully towards the distant mountain gate. He understood Yang Tiangyang intimately – ambitious yet deeply fearful of death. With the 'savior's blessing' from Zhenyuan Hall, Ye Chen held Yang Tiangyang's very life in his hands, ensuring he would never dare to oppose Ye Chen or cause trouble for the Six Paths Sect.

Hearing Ye Chen's pronouncement, Liu Yunmiao and Yang Qianyu exchanged bewildered glances, still hesitant to fully accept his word.

Meanwhile, within the Six Paths Temple, Elder Gao Lin stood recounting the events at Zhenyuan Hall with evident pride to the assembled individuals.

"You wouldn't believe it! When we reached Southern Saint City, the Zhenyuan Hall people attempted to humiliate us by erecting a formation at the city gate. But Ye Chen, what a remarkable individual! The formation had no effect whatsoever on him. He simply walked straight through it!"

"You can't fathom the expressions on the faces of the Zhenyuan Hall members then; it still brings me immense amusement just thinking about it."

"Ye Chen repeatedly shamed Zhenyuan Hall! With a single sword strike, he broke Hua Baomin, and with another, he slashed Feng Yusi. He's like a reincarnated deity!"

"Sect Master, your foresight is truly exceptional. Having a Chief Disciple like Ye Chen in the Six Paths Sect is not merely good fortune; it represents a golden opportunity for the Six Paths Sect's ascension!"

Elder Gao Lin spoke with such fervent excitement that he was practically spraying saliva, yet everyone within the temple found his account difficult to swallow, deeming Elder Gao Lin's words far too exaggerated.

How could Ye Chen, who was only at the Sixth Level of the Heavenly God Realm, possibly achieve such astonishing feats? Even someone in the late stage of the Heavenly Repairing Realm wouldn't dare to act so domineeringly within Zhenyuan Hall, would they?

At this very moment, Wu Duan Cang and Elder Dao Pao exchanged contemplative glances, also questioning the veracity of Elder Gao Lin's enthusiastic narrative.

However, just then, a voice boomed from outside. A diligent gate-guarding disciple rushed into the Six Paths Temple, announcing loudly, "Sect Master, Zhenyuan Hall's foremost genius, Feng Yusi, requests an audience!"

"Feng Yusi?"

This announcement sent a palpable ripple of astonishment through the Six Paths Temple. Feng Yusi was none other than the recognized Venerable Immortal Ling Yun, and a prime candidate for the next sect master of Zhenyuan Hall.

Regardless of the absolute truth behind Elder Gao Lin's account, whether Ye Chen had truly vanquished Feng Yusi or even subjugated her, the mere mention of Feng Yusi's esteemed identity was sufficient reason for the Six Paths Sect to treat the situation with the utmost seriousness.

Wu Duan Cang's eyes sharpened with intrigue, and he declared, "Invite Feng Yusi inside."

Instantly, the disciple on guard duty departed with haste, and not long after, Feng Yusi arrived, accompanied by several inner disciples from Zhenyuan Hall.

These Zhenyuan Hall disciples, typically proud, now conducted themselves with unexpected humility and politeness.

Furthermore, Feng Yusi, leading the group, wore a peculiar expression, her gaze sweeping the surroundings as if searching for someone. The absence of Ye Chen brought a surprising pang of disappointment to her heart.

Upon entering the Six Paths Temple, Feng Yusi observed the elders of the Six Paths Sect, with Wu Duan Cang occupying the honored main seat. She offered a respectful greeting.

"I, Feng Yusi, the Saintess of Zhenyuan Hall, pay my respects to Sect Master Wu of the Six Paths Sect and to all esteemed elders."

"Heh heh, the reputation of Saintess Feng truly precedes her throughout the Moon Soul Domain. Might I inquire about the purpose of your visit this time?"

Wu Duan Cang inquired with a smile directed at Feng Yusi.

In response, Feng Yusi gestured to the disciples accompanying her. Several of them stepped forward, presenting grand treasure chests brimming with numerous rare artifacts.

These treasure chests emanated a potent Hongmeng Aura, and their placement upon the ground caused a noticeable tremor, a testament to their considerable weight and the immense value of the treasures contained within.

"These are offerings from the Sect Master of Zhenyuan Hall to the Six Paths Sect. In past years, our Sect Master's disposition towards the Six Paths Sect was less than cordial. However, after a stern admonishment from Senior Brother Ye Chen, he was moved to send me, Feng Yusi, to extend an apology."

"Within these four treasure chests are extraordinary treasures meticulously gathered by Zhenyuan Hall across the years. Sect Master Wu and all the elders have surely heard of Zhenyuan Hall's Heavenly Saint Treasure Box; these very chests are what that refers to."

Gazing upon the four magnificent treasure chests, every individual within the Six Paths Temple had their eyes alight with admiration. The Heavenly Saint Treasure Box of Zhenyuan Hall was a legendary collection across the Moon Soul Domain, its contents accumulated over millennia. Any rare Supreme Treasure sighted within the Moon Soul Domain would find its place within these chests.

Zhenyuan Hall had painstakingly established this repository, aspiring for the Heavenly Saint Treasure Box to be the preeminent treasure vault in the Moon Soul Domain, housing all manner of precious items. Who could have possibly foreseen that it would now be gifted to the Six Paths Sect.
