The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 4180: Crisis (Second Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Finally, he set his gaze on Gu Han, smiled slightly, and said, "I didn’t expect you’d really open this top-level private room to treat me to a meal, Young Master Gu."
Gu Han took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Lan, you said you would only meet with me if I treated you to a meal on the top floor of Tianyin Building. I have done as you asked, can we now talk about the serious matters?"
His expression was somewhat grim. To obtain this VIP Card, he had put in a lot of effort and even incurred the slight dissatisfaction of the family head!
However, Gu Han was already in a state of urgency...
Since Ye Chen found out that he was the one who instructed the assassins to target him, Gu Han hadn’t had a good night’s sleep!
Even his cultivation was in disarray, unable to calm his mind. If this continued, even if Ye Chen didn’t come to kill him, he might go mad on his own!
So, now he had to find any way possible to make Ye Chen die!
Gu Han’s eyes flickered, looking at the blue-clothed young man in front of him, named Lan Xi. His real identity was one of the three agents selected by the high-ranking members of the Dark Mansion!
When Gu Han learned that Lan Xi was going on a mission with Ye Chen, he became intrigued!
Lan Xi smiled and said, "Alright, let’s talk while we eat."
Then, the two sat down at the table, but how could Gu Han eat in his current state of mind?
The entire table of food and drink was practically devoured by Lan Xi alone.
Gu Han frowned slightly and said, "Young Master Lan, are you full?"
Lan Xi belched, praising, "Indeed, the food and drink of Tianyin Building are delicious, comparable to the meals prepared by the exclusive chefs for those old men..."
He glanced at Gu Han with a stern face, smiled, and said, "Alright, Young Master Gu, tell me what you have in mind."
Hearing this, Gu Han was overjoyed and said, "Young Master Lan, here’s the thing, among the people going on the mission with you this time, there’s someone named Ye Chen, do you know him?"
Lan Xi nodded, a gleam flashing in his eyes, and said, "Of course I know, the Netherworld’s agent, also ranked first in the assessment, Ye Chen."
Gu Han’s face took on a vicious look and said, "It’s him. This time, I’d like to ask Young Master Lan for a favor!"
Lan Xi took a sip of wine and said, "What kind of favor?"
Gu Han said fiercely, "I want the kid dead! I heard Young Master Lan is a master of poisons, and even beings of the Primordial Origin Realm might unknowingly fall prey to your toxins! Young Master Lan, I hope you can poison Ye Chen during the mission!
Although this kid’s constitution is extraordinary, Young Master Lan’s poison might not kill him, but I’ve heard this mission will draw many powerful adversaries and be extremely dangerous. If the kid gets poisoned, he is very likely to die in the mission, isn’t he?"
His eyes filled with blood, almost roaring, "I want him dead!!!"
Lan Xi slowly put down his wine glass and said in a low voice, "What did you just say?"
Gu Han was stunned, looking at Lan Xi with some fear...
Why did Lan Xi ask such a question?
Could it be that he’s friends with Ye Chen!?
No, that’s impossible. Lan Xi’s background is mysterious and has always been protected by the Dark Mansion. Ye Chen wanting to get acquainted with Lan Xi wouldn’t be easy, let alone being friends...
Thinking of this, he braced himself and said to Lan Xi, "Uh, I said, I want that kid dead..."
But, upon hearing this, Lan Xi shook his head and said, "Not that part, did you say my poison can’t kill this Ye Chen?"
Hearing this, Gu Han hurriedly said, "I don’t mean any disrespect to Young Master Lan. It’s just that Ye Chen’s vitality is truly beyond belief! That’s why I said so..."
Lan Xi’s eyes flickered and he said, "Beyond belief? To what extent?"
Gu Han hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth and said, "He once survived multiple attacks from beings close to the ninth-level of the Qiankun Realm!"
Originally, he didn’t want to reveal too much to Lan Xi, fearing it would scare him away. But, since Lan Xi asked, he had to answer honestly.
Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed in Lan Xi’s eyes. After a moment, he slightly bowed his head, seemingly pondering something, and remained silent.
Seeing this, Gu Han suddenly took out a Jade Box and handed it to Lan Xi, saying, "Young Master Lan, this is a token of my appreciation."
Lan Xi glanced at Gu Han, took the Jade Box, opened it, and inside lay a pitch-black herb.
His eyes lit up, "Ten-thousand-year-old Black Blood Grass? Young Master Gu is considerate indeed."
However, shortly after, Lan Xi tossed the Jade Box back to Gu Han and said, "But, I can’t help you with this."
Gu Han’s face changed and he said, "Young Master Lan, are you afraid? Even your poison can’t harm Ye Chen, right?"
Lan Xi gave Gu Han a cold look, which made Gu Han involuntarily take a half-step back under that icy gaze.
He revealed a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "I, Lan Xi, am not an assassin. I kill for myself. If you want to kill someone, find someone else, understand?"
Gu Han showed a look of unwillingness, but still nodded. Even though he was from the Gu Family, he dared not truly offend this mysterious young man before him.
However, Lan Xi quickly showed a hint of amusement on his face and said, "But, you did tell me an interesting piece of information. Perhaps, this Young Master Ye might be able to help me with a small favor..."
With that, his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
Leaving behind Gu Han, standing there with a face like ash.
...
A place that gave an extremely eerie and dark feeling, extending endlessly before Ye Chen. His eyes flickered, and here was the Ancient Nether Forest!
In the next moment, he flashed into the Ancient Nether Forest. Upon arriving, Ye Chen had a thought, and half of a Soul-devouring Seal appeared in front of him. With a flash of strange light, he transformed into a transparent shadow and disappeared.
This Ancient Nether Forest was also a major perilous place within the Moon Soul Domain, inhabited by numerous Nether Beasts!
These Nether Beasts were terrifyingly powerful, with even peak-level Qiankun Realm existences among them, making it necessary for him to be cautious.
Concealed, Ye Chen wandered within the Ancient Nether Forest, his eyes scanning around. From time to time, he saw bizarre, massive figures appearing in the woods, occasionally accompanied by the shrill roars of beasts echoing in his ears.
Feeling the powerful aura emitted by those Nether Beasts, Ye Chen’s face grew increasingly solemn.
Just then, a black shadow suddenly darted toward Ye Chen with lightning speed!
Even Ye Chen, when faced with this sudden black shadow, was startled, caught off guard!
But, relying on his extraordinary combat instincts, Ye Chen instinctively sidestepped, easily dodging the shadow’s strike!
