The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3810: Resolute! Attitude (Eight Updates)

Luo Huai’an personally guided Ye Chen and another into his opulent palace. In the very next moment, he fixed his gaze upon Ying Xiangyun, the elders, and disciples, his expression hardening with ice-cold fury.

"All of you, come to the hall as well!"

A tempest of rage churned within Luo Huai’an’s heart. He had just heard the voice of his adoptive father emanating from Ye Chen, and now these elders and disciples had dared to harm Ye Chen, igniting his immense wrath.

Though the reason for his adoptive father’s voice emerging from Ye Chen remained a mystery, anything connected to his adoptive father, be it person or object, was something Luo Huai’an would fiercely protect from the slightest harm!

Upon hearing Luo Huai’an’s summoning, Ying Xiangyun and the others couldn’t help but falter, their expressions shifting drastically. They understood all too well that when Ying Xiangyun was truly angered, grave trouble would surely follow.

"Just who is this Ye Chen?"

Ying Xiangyun’s gaze grew heavy with gloom. He struggled to comprehend why a mere junior in the Heavenly God Realm would command such a reaction from Luo Huai’an. Could Ye Chen have somehow crossed paths with an exceptionally powerful figure?

At this precise moment, the grand doors of Luo Huai’an’s palanquin-like palace sealed shut, and it ascended into the heavens, hurtling towards the grand hall of the Nine Cold Sect.

With no time to ponder further, Ying Xiangyun and the rest hastened to follow Luo Huai’an’s command, quickly making their way to the hall.

Inside the magnificent palace of the palanquin, Ye Chen and Jun Mo were seated. Luo Huai’an approached them, his smile as gentle and conciliatory as a spring breeze.

"Ye Chen, my young friend, please accept my sincerest apologies. I was in seclusion earlier; had I been present, I would never have permitted these treacherous sect members to act against you. Once we reach the hall, I assure you, they will face severe punishment."

Observing Luo Huai’an’s overtly appeasing demeanor, Jun Mo found his expression growing increasingly perplexed. Was this truly the renowned and formidable Luo Huai’an of the Nine Cold Sect, whose might was said to have struck fear throughout the entire Moon Soul Domain? He seemed strikingly different now.

Witnessing Luo Huai’an’s deferential attitude towards Ye Chen, Jun Mo’s curiosity about Ye Chen’s origins and true identity intensified.

Meanwhile, within Ye Chen’s Samsara Graveyard, Han Wenxin observed Luo Huai’an’s conduct and gave a slight shake of his head.

This young man, setting aside all other considerations, showed such profound respect, even a humble manner, towards Ye Chen solely upon hearing his voice. It clearly demonstrated the immense value he placed on his adoptive father.

However, Luo Huai’an’s current actions, while stemming from reverence, were likely to arouse suspicion regarding Ye Chen’s identity among many, potentially placing him in considerable peril. Therefore, Luo Huai’an needed to exercise greater restraint.

"An Gouzi! Exercise restraint and do not reveal the connection between Ye Chen and myself!"

Han Wenxin’s command echoed mentally within Luo Huai’an’s mind. Luo Huai’an’s eyes quivered involuntarily upon hearing the voice. He looked at Ye Chen with an even more fervent gaze.

Yet, remembering Han Wenxin’s caution, Luo Huai’an swiftly reined in his expression. His gaze turned colder, though a subtle hint of elation still danced deep within his eyes.

"Ye Chen, what brings you here this time, and why did conflict arise between your party and members of my Sect?"

Luo Huai’an inquired, looking intently at Ye Chen. He had been deep in seclusion and only vaguely sensed the disturbances within the sect, aware that Ye Chen and Jun Mo had clashed with disciples and elders.

However, the precise reasons and the unfolding events leading to this confrontation remained unclear to Luo Huai’an.

After all, the entire affair concerning Jun Mo’s family and Ying Xiangyun’s demand for Jun Mo in exchange for the Freezing Sky Ice Crystal had transpired far from the Nine Cold Sect’s grounds.

No matter Luo Huai’an’s power or the methods at his disposal, achieving omniscience was impossible, leaving him genuinely puzzled.

Noticing Luo Huai’an’s demeanor shift to a slightly more reserved tone, no longer as overly deferential as before, Ye Chen realized Han Wenxin’s words were taking effect. He then proceeded to explain the matter concerning Jun Mo to Luo Huai’an.

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s thorough account, a chilling glint flashed in Luo Huai’an’s eyes. "Hmph, that Ying Xiangyun. He acts like a tyrant wherever he goes, relying on his status as the Grand Elder of the Nine Cold Sect. I’ve warned him countless times, yet it appears he has not curbed his behavior during my seclusion, growing even more flagrant!"

Ye Chen, hearing this, gently shook his head and then stated, "Sect Master Luo, I suspect that the incident of the Jun Family Ancestor’s cultivation deviation is likely connected to Ying Xiangyun."

Luo Huai’an’s eyes narrowed to slits upon this revelation, and he fell into a contemplative silence. Jun Mo, momentarily stunned, then displayed a cold, sharp glint in his own eyes.

Luo Huai’an and Jun Mo, possessing sharp minds, grasped Ye Chen’s implication. He harbored suspicion that the Jun Family Ancestor’s deviation was orchestrated by Ying Xiangyun, perhaps as a ruse to procure the Freezing Sky Ice Crystal in exchange for studying Jun Mo.

Yet, without concrete proof, Ye Chen’s assertions remained mere conjecture. As the Sect Master, Luo Huai’an could not condemn Ying Xiangyun solely on Ye Chen’s word.

"Rest assured, this matter shall be investigated thoroughly. Should it be proven that he has been involved in malicious acts, he will face severe punishment!"

Luo Huai’an solemnly pledged to Ye Chen. He had long harbored reservations about Ying Xiangyun’s conduct but had tolerated it due to his position as a senior and grand elder of the Sect.

However, Ying Xiangyun’s recent actions had crossed a line. If Ye Chen’s suspicions proved true, even a grand elder would not escape retribution.

At that moment, Luo Huai’an’s palanquin drew to a halt before the grand hall of the Nine Cold Sect. Ye Chen and Jun Mo followed him inside.

The Nine Cold Hall exuded a sense of grandeur and majesty, permeated by an unending chill. Curiously, this chilling aura did not impart a feeling of coldness, setting it apart as a rather unusual place.

Luo Huai’an motioned for Ye Chen and Jun Mo to be seated. Shortly thereafter, Ying Xiangyun entered the hall, accompanied by a contingent of elders and disciples.

Luo Huai’an assumed his position at the head of the hall, his gaze fixed coldly upon the assembled group. He then addressed Ying Xiangyun in a measured tone, "Grand Elder Ying, I am aware of the situation concerning Ye Chen and Jun Mo. Do you have anything to say?"

The subtle interrogation in Luo Huai’an’s voice caused Ying Xiangyun’s expression to falter slightly. Nevertheless, recalling Luo Huai’an’s earlier demeanor, he anticipated a confrontation and braced himself mentally.

Addressing Luo Huai’an, Ying Xiangyun stated, "I had engaged in a transaction with the Jun Family, exchanging the Freezing Sky Ice Crystal for Jun Mo. However, Ye Chen subsequently arrived to insult our Nine Cold Sect, prompting my retaliation against him."

"Oh?"

Luo Huai’an regarded Ying Xiangyun with a distant look upon hearing his explanation. "Did I not caution you previously against defying the Heavenly Principle? The experimentation on living beings is a practice historically fraught with grave peril."

Ying Xiangyun’s expression turned grave at these words, and he slowly nodded. "This incident is indeed my failing. I am prepared to accept any punishment the Sect Master deems appropriate."

"Step forward," Luo Huai’an commanded, his eyes gleaming with a divine light as he fixed his gaze on Ying Xiangyun.

Ying Xiangyun’s countenance shifted abruptly at this command, a flicker of panic betraying his eyes. Yet, he did not dare to disobey Luo Huai’an and stepped forward.

"Buzz..."

Ethereal, mystical divine fluctuations emanated throughout the hall. To Luo Huai’an’s perception, this divine light manifested as flowing transcendental laws, weaving around Ying Xiangyun.

This was the Nine Cold Sect’s premier technique, the Xuan Han Yingshi Pupil. It wielded the universal laws of ice and cold to peer into the past and uncover the truth.

As the powers of these laws swirled, an image materialized above Ying Xiangyun.

The projection revealed a vast and imposing city. A collective gasp rippled through the hall upon recognizing it, and many disciples exchanged incredulous glances with Ying Xiangyun.

This city was none other than the Jun Family’s Wushuang Ancient City. The image showed Ying Xiangyun hovering above it, his attention fixed on the Jun Family Ancestor’s cultivation chamber. With a flick of his finger, a mysterious crimson glow shot forth, penetrating the Jun Family Ancestor’s body.

Instantly, this crimson energy sent the spiritual energy within the Jun Family Ancestor into violent chaos. A look of horror crossed his face as he spat blood, struggling to rise and identify his assailant. Ultimately, he collapsed, lapsing into complete unconsciousness.

"So, it was you!"

Jun Mo’s eyes blazed with icy fury as he fixed his stare upon Ying Xiangyun.

Ye Chen regarded Ying Xiangyun with a deep, scrutinizing gaze, a sense of unease settling upon him. He had suspected Ying Xiangyun’s involvement; otherwise, how could the sudden deviation of the Jun Family Ancestor, a master of the Qiankun Mirror realm, be mere coincidence?

Furthermore, the coincidence of the Nine Cold Sect possessing the very item needed to heal the Jun Family Ancestor, requiring Jun Mo with his Ancient Blood Nether Body – a condition Ying Xiangyun had seemingly targeted.

Luo Huai’an, employing the Xuan Han Yingshi Pupil, had meticulously traced the events, exposing Ying Xiangyun’s entire deceptive scheme.

All eyes above the Nine Cold Hall were fixed on Ying Xiangyun, a mixture of confusion and disdain in their gazes.

While the Nine Cold Sect always maintained a proud demeanor, they traditionally shunned underhanded tactics. Witnessing Ying Xiangyun’s deceitful methods, much of their former respect for their esteemed elder began to crumble.

"Do you have any final words?"

Luo Huai’an’s cold stare met Ying Xiangyun’s as he inquired in a low tone.

Though Ye Chen had harbored suspicions previously, Luo Huai’an had struggled to believe Ying Xiangyun would stoop to such dishonorable behavior. Now, confronted with the revelation of his scheming, Luo Huai’an felt a surge of profound anger.

"I..."

Ying Xiangyun’s face visibly paled. From the moment Luo Huai’an had summoned him and employed the Xuan Han Yingshi Pupil, a sense of unease had settled upon him. Seeing his treachery exposed, his heart grew cold.

"I have nothing further to say, Sect Master. This transgression was my failing, and I willingly accept any punishment!"

Ying Xiangyun declared, shaking his head.

"Very well!"

Luo Huai’an regarded Ying Xiangyun, his expression frigid. "Your willingness to admit fault suggests you are not entirely beyond hope. As your punishment, you will personally attend to the Jun Family Ancestor’s healing in three days’ time and kneel to offer an apology to every member of the Jun Family!"

"Kneel to apologize!"

This pronouncement caused a ripple of discontent among the Nine Cold Sect disciples. Despite their disapproval of Ying Xiangyun’s actions, he remained a revered elder of their sect. The idea of him being forced to kneel before the Jun Family was something the proud disciples found difficult to stomach.
