The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3794: Ye Chen’s Concerns! (Part 1)

As Ye Chen journeyed, his thoughts swirled, contemplating his next move. To truly elevate his cultivation, a visit to the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest to meet the enigmatic individual holding the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics was paramount. However, Ye Chen harbored a desire to solidify his foundation before confronting such a figure, perhaps by mastering the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique.

Yet, the quest for the Golden Witch Body Refining Pill recipe remained elusive. A month had already slipped by since his entry into the Dark Domain, and the three-month deadline loomed ominously. Should the recipe prove unobtainable, Ye Chen would be compelled to secure a substantial quantity of the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics to bolster his defenses.

A subtle furrow creased Ye Chen’s brow. While his current strength far surpassed his initial state upon entering the Dark Domain, confronting the formidable powers that awaited him would still be a daunting challenge.

He knew he could not afford a moment's complacency.

A resolute glint sparked in Ye Chen’s eyes. "In a few more days, I will have been in the Dark Domain for a full month," he declared. "If Lin Rutian, Chen Yuanbiao, and Elder Shi fail to unearth the Golden Witch Body Refining Pill recipe by then, I will depart for the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest without delay!"

The Ten Thousand Destruction Forest lay a considerable distance from Deceit City, and the journey there and back would consume at least half a month. Acquiring the Ghost Buddha Relics, Ye Chen surmised, would be no simple feat.

...

Meanwhile, in the Moon Soul Domain, nestled in the southwest, stood a majestic city exuding an ancient aura from every stone. This was Wushuang Blood City, the domain of the Jun Family, to which Jun Mo belonged.

The Jun Family, a preeminent clan in the Outer Realm, had founded Wushuang Blood City. Their Ancestor, a cultivator of the Qiankun Mirror realm, possessed unparalleled might.

Returning to Wushuang Blood City after his encounter with Ye Chen, Jun Mo found the city shrouded in an unusual tension. Anxious faces were everywhere, piquing his curiosity. Throughout his journey back, many who laid eyes on him displayed peculiar expressions, further fueling his intrigue.

A summons from his family had reached Jun Mo not long prior, requesting his presence for a discussion. This prompted his hasty departure from Ye Chen and his swift return home.

At the time, Jun Mo had dismissed the family matter as trivial. However, the current atmosphere suggested something significant was afoot.

Upon arriving in Wushuang Blood City, Jun Mo made his way directly to the Ancient Blood Sacred Hall, the traditional venue for the Jun Family’s crucial discussions.

Yet, before he could reach his destination, he spotted several familiar figures hurrying towards him from a distance.

"Uncle, Third Uncle, why have you come?" Jun Mo asked, surprised. His uncle and third uncle occupied positions of great influence within the family and were typically occupied with their duties, rarely coming to meet him specifically.

Jun Mo’s uncle, Jun Tianye, was adorned in a blood-red robe intricately embroidered with fearsome giant pythons, radiating an aura of extraordinary power. His third uncle, Jun Chaoyang, sported a more vigorous attire, his hair meticulously styled, presenting an image of competence tinged with a cool demeanor.

"You have finally returned," Jun Tianye greeted Jun Mo with a warm smile, clasping his arm. "Let us proceed quickly. The family has been awaiting your arrival for days, and only you can assist with this urgent matter."

All eyes within the Ancient Blood Sacred Hall turned towards Jun Mo, anticipation and a medley of emotions swirling in their gazes.

"The venerable Jun Mo has arrived."

Jun Tianye's eyes flickered with a trace of excitement as he looked up at the Jun Family's elder, whose hair was the color of blood, announcing his presence.

"Excellent."

The venerable elder of the Jun Family, seated with gravity in the Sacred Hall, acknowledged this with a nod of satisfaction and regarded Jun Mo with a serious expression.

"Jun Mo, your return is timely."

Jun Mo's gaze shifted upon hearing this, and he inquired, "Sage Elder, what pressing matter necessitates my swift return?"

"Furthermore, why are my parents not in attendance?"

Jun Mo pressed, his concern growing with the absence of his parents in the Sacred Hall.

"Your parents are en route."

The venerable elder responded calmly to Jun Mo. Then, his expression grew stern: "Jun Mo! I ask you now, how has the Jun Family treated you?"

A chill ran down Jun Mo's spine upon hearing this; the elder's grave tone signaled a significant issue.

Regardless, Jun Mo understood that without the Jun Family's support, his current standing would be impossible.

"The Jun Family has treated me exceptionally well!"

Jun Mo met the venerable elder's gaze directly and declared, "Sage Elder, please state the issue plainly. If there is any way I can contribute, I will not hesitate."

"That is the spirit we require!"

The venerable elder's hands met in a clap as he suddenly stood. "The Ancestor's old injury has flared up, placing him in grave peril. Only the Freezing Sky Ice Crystal from the Nine Cold Sect can save the Ancestor's life."

Jun Mo's expression shifted upon hearing this. The Jun Family's Ancestor was their bedrock; his demise would undoubtedly invite the Jun Family's enemies, who would descend like hungry wolves to tear the family apart.

This was a matter of life and death for the Jun Family; it was no wonder the atmosphere in Wushuang Blood City had been so peculiar, with everyone convened in this hall.

However, the Nine Cold Sect, which the sage elder spoke of, stood as the most formidable sect in this region, commanding respect even from the long-established Jun Family.

At this juncture, Jun Mo also pondered why the Jun Family required the Nine Cold Sect's Freezing Sky Ice Crystal. And why was he summoned back, with the implication that only he could provide assistance?
