The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3751: The Bright Moon Shines! (Ninth Update)

Ye Chen’s triumphant grin sent a shiver down the spines of every martial artist observing!

Deng Shaofeng, meanwhile, looked on the verge of tears, his face contorted in disbelief.

He absolutely never imagined that Ye Chen would actually succeed in passing the Advanced Cloud Clearing Master examination!

Could this be some sort of elaborate illusion?

Deng Shaofeng’s head swam; his vision blurred, and he nearly succumbed to unconsciousness!

Ye Chen spoke with measured calm, "Esteemed guests, were you not just vociferously demanding the fulfillment of our wager? Peculiar, why the silence now?"

At his pointed remark, the assembled martial artists couldn't help but tremble, exchanging uneasy glances.

While incurring the wrath of the Deng family was certainly ill-advised, the repercussions of displeasing an exceptionally gifted and promising Advanced Cloud Clearing Master could be far more severe!

Chen Yuanbiao, with his own hands, solemnly presented Ye Chen with the coveted license.

This gesture symbolized the Outer Realm’s Netherworld Cloud Clearing Association extending a significant overture to Ye Chen!

It was no longer impossible for Ye Chen, with a mere word, to later revoke the qualifications of everyone present to even attempt the Cloud Clearing examination.

A young cultivator possessing the potential to ascend to the level of a grandmaster was infinitely more valuable than millions of mere Beginner Cloud Clearing Masters!

In that precise moment, every pair of eyes in the plaza turned, their gazes now chillingly fixed upon Deng Shaofeng!

Deng Shaofeng’s face drained of all color. Why were these people now staring at him with such animosity?

He couldn't contain a frantic cry, "I... I am a genius of the Deng family! What do you all think you're doing?!"

However, the sea of martial artists nearby acted as if they hadn't heard him, their voices rising in unison, "Fulfill the bet..."

Initially, it was a soft murmur from a few individuals, but it rapidly escalated into a thunderous chant echoing from millions!

Like a colossal mountain's roar and an oceanic wave's surge, the chant crashed down upon Deng Shaofeng!

"Fulfill the bet! Fulfill the bet! Fulfill the bet!"

Ye Chen, his gaze cold, looked directly at Deng Shaofeng, a faint smile gracing his lips. "Young Master Deng, would you care to step forward?"

Deng Shaofeng clamped his hands over his ears, head bowed low, desperately attempting to flee the thronged plaza. Yet, he found himself completely encircled by millions of martial artists, utterly incapable of breaching the dense human barrier!

At this juncture, hearing Ye Chen’s chilling invitation, Deng Shaofeng’s body convulsed violently; his legs felt as weak as water.

To kneel and proffer an apology before hundreds of millions of spectators?

He was certain to become the universal laughingstock of the entire Netherworld!

Furthermore, the decree stipulated a ban from Xianying City for ten thousand years!

This effectively meant a complete forfeiture of any opportunity to take the crucial exams!

This ten-thousand-year period was exceedingly pivotal—sufficient to obliterate everything he had painstakingly built!

Consequently, he would plummet from the esteemed status of a Deng family genius to that of a common Cloud Clearing Master, perhaps even being disowned by his own family for having offended such a prodigiously talented youth as Ye Chen!

Deng Shaofeng frantically scrambled backward, desperately trying to put distance between himself and Ye Chen’s elevated platform.

But!

Suddenly, countless hands forcefully seized him, pinning him firmly against his will!

The very martial artists who had only moments before been applauding him, harboring envy, and echoing his earlier taunts against Ye Chen, now transformed into spectral apparitions, restraining him and dragging him inexorably toward the stage!

Deng Shaofeng’s spiritual energy surged wildly as he thrashed in a mad struggle, but what hope did he have against the might of millions?

Before long, Deng Shaofeng was unceremoniously hurled onto the stage by the relentless martial artists!

He staggered to his feet, dazed, and his eyes caught sight of Chen Yuanbiao standing stoically beside Ye Chen. A flicker of hope ignited within him as he perceived a potential lifeline.

Although both the Deng and Chen families were prominent Cloud Clearing Master clans within the Netherworld, the Deng family’s influence and scale were vastly inferior to that of the Chen family.

But!

They had crossed paths at various Cloud Clearing Master family gatherings, and occasionally, their disciples would meet, forging a degree of acquaintance...

Without hesitation, Deng Shaofeng lunged towards Chen Yuanbiao, tears streaming down his face as he pleaded, "Uncle Chen! Please, save me! This brat could never have honestly passed the Advanced Cloud Clearing Master exam; he must have cheated! Uncle Chen, in remembrance of the cordial relationship between our families, I implore you to deliver justice for me!"

Ye Chen turned his gaze towards Chen Yuanbiao, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Oh? Is that indeed the case, Master Chen?"

Chen Yuanbiao’s expression instantly turned glacial at these words. He fixed Deng Shaofeng with a cold glare. "Young Master Deng, are you suggesting that I, as the examiner for Young Master Ye Shitian, was so incompetent as to be unable to discern if he cheated during the examination?"

He had already irrevocably decided to forge a relationship with Ye Chen and formally invite him to join the Netherworld Cloud Clearing Association. At this point, not even a scion from a family ten times the size of the Dengs could sway him; Chen Yuanbiao would stand resolutely by Ye Chen's side!

A potential Cloud Clearing grandmaster was an asset of immeasurable importance to the Cloud Clearing Association!

In Chen Yuanbiao’s considered opinion, Ye Chen represented the most promising candidate in the entire Netherworld to achieve the esteemed rank of a Cloud Clearing grandmaster, even though he had not yet attained that pinnacle!

Deng Shaofeng’s countenance contorted in immediate distress; he shook his head frantically. "Uncle Chen, you misunderstand me! That is not what I intended to imply!"

"Enough!" Chen Yuanbiao bellowed with rage. "Deng Shaofeng, is this how the Deng family raises you? If you enjoy gambling, then you must accept the consequences of losing! Even though our families are the closest of friends, I will not show any favoritism today!"

In the very next moment, with a thunderous sound, a formidable aura erupted from Chen Yuanbiao’s body. He gazed sternly at Deng Shaofeng, declaring, "Weren’t you seeking justice from me? Very well, I shall deliver it!"

I command you to fulfill the bet made with Young Master Ye within three breaths. Failure to do so will result in the revocation of your Intermediate Cloud Clearing Master license due to misconduct!

Furthermore, you will be permanently barred from participating in any Cloud Clearing exams, not just for ten thousand years, but for eternity!"

Every martial artist present was utterly stunned by these words!

Chen Yuanbiao truly disregarded the reputation of the Deng family!

As for Deng Shaofeng, he was already paralyzed with fear!

He felt as though he were trapped in a dream, a terrifying nightmare from which he could never awaken!

Chen Yuanbiao narrowed his eyes slightly, issuing a frigid command: "Our Netherworld Cloud Clearing Association has no need for useless individuals! Now, kneel and offer your apologies to Young Master Ye!"

Under this chilling decree, Deng Shaofeng felt his very soul tremble as if it might dissipate. His face was awash with tears, his eyes brimming with humiliation and an utter sense of unwillingness...

Suddenly, Deng Shaofeng let out a wild roar, "Die! If you die, then there is no bet to be fulfilled!"

With those words, his spiritual energy surged like a frenzied beast, charging directly towards Ye Chen!

All reason had abandoned him!

Chen Yuanbiao let out a cold snort, preparing to intervene and subdue Deng Shaofeng. However, at that precise moment, a blur of motion flashed before him.

Ye Chen stood there, gripping a pitch-black Dragonslayer Sword. His body was engulfed in demonic energy, and an aura akin to the dust of a world-destroying calamity swirled around the Slaughter Sword, while his form radiated a brilliance like that of a luminous moon!
