Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

"My family's lives were saved by the Vice Sect Leader, I will go through fire and water, complete any command from the Vice Sect Leader without fail," the Ghost Sect disciple said solemnly.

Yan Che nodded and waved his hand, signaling the "stake" of the Ghost Sect to withdraw.

Surrounded by danger, all the affairs of the Ghost Sect were managed by Yan Che and Lai Gu together.

Yan Che had even established a good cooperative relationship with the Killing Hall, and the Ghost Sect in Xia Capital had already gained momentum comparable to Killing Hall.

Of course, all of this was unknown to Heir Hong of the Sha Sect. What he had taken were merely the superficial businesses that the Ghost Sect had deliberately abandoned.

"The Hong Residence really harbors ambitions of rebellion, we need to notify the Sect Leader immediately," Lai Gu unfolded the letter and glanced at it.

The so-called letter from "Chen Hongru" proposing to collaborate with Hong Fang was completely fictitious.

Chen Hongru himself coveted the throne of Daxia and would hardly take the trouble to help the Hong Residence conquer territories for nothing. It goes without saying that this so-called letter from "Chen Hongru" was also crafted by Yan Che and Lai Gu under Ye Lingyue's instruction.

"We've received a message from Beiqing saying that the Sect Leader will be in seclusion for a while and won't be able to contact us," Yan Che said with a grave expression. In the two years following Ye Lingyue, this once naïve youth had been honed into a qualified vice leader of the Ghost Sect.

He had a determined look, and there was an aura of murder in all his movements, his imposing presence earned him great prestige within the Ghost Sect.

"I don't know if the Sect Leader will be able to come back in time. According to the letter, the Hong Residence plans to make their move during the Imperial Examination," Lai Gu pondered.

"Whether or not the Sect Leader returns, we stick to the plan. You find a way to remind the Crown Prince Xiahou Qi to be cautious of the Hong Residence, and I will inform General Lan. However, there is one thing that might pose a big problem," Yan Che furrowed his brow.

"Are you worried that Hong Qingyun will break through?" Aunt Lai Gu guessed Yan Che's concern.

If Hong Qingyun truly broke through to the Reincarnation Realm, then probably no one in the entire Xia Capital would be his match.

"We can only take things one step at a time now, let's send the news to Marquis, I believe Marquis and the others will have their countermeasures."

In the light, there were Marquis, General Lan, General Nie; in the dark, the Killing Hall and Ghost Sect. Lai Gu and Yan Che refused to believe that they couldn't root out the Hong Residence entirely this time.

Within Xia Capital, undercurrents surged, and at this moment in the first layer of Earth Evil Prison, Ye Lingyue had already reached the twenty-fourth layer.

The Chaos Heaven and Earth Array contained the unique Heaven and Earth Tribulation left over from ancient times.

The Heaven and Earth Tribulation, different from the Reincarnation Tribulation, is divided into heaven and earth tribulations, with the heaven consisting of thirty-six layers of Heavenly Gang Palace, and the earth encompassing seventy-two layers of Earth Evil Prison.

From the first layer to the twenty-fourth layer of Earth Evil Prison is the First Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation, from twenty-fifth layer to forty-eighth layer is the Second Layer, and from forty-ninth to seventy-second layer is the Third Layer; these are the three layers of the earth's part of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation.

Originally, when Chen Hongru was a Nine Rank Alchemist, he entered the Chaos Heaven and Earth Array and spent a month to break through the First Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation.

And now, Ye Lingyue had been in the Chaos Heaven and Earth Array for eleven days.

The twenty-fourth layer of Earth Evil Prison, plunging layer by layer deep into the earth, with each additional layer, the Evil Qi became denser.

When Ye Lingyue first entered the first layer of hell, the sky was still grey, but after entering the twenty-fourth layer of Earth Evil Prison, the sky seemed like a massive black cloth stretching across; looking across, all that remained was intense darkness.

Thousands of meters above ground, Ye Lingyue sat on the Star Saliva, circulating her Qi to recover the Primordial Power she had expended during the earlier fierce battles.

Both person and beast looked somewhat ragged. Although they had Cauldron Breath to heal their wounds, new and old injuries kept appearing on their bodies every day.

Licking her slightly dry lips, Ye Lingyue took out a red fruit, took a bite, feeling a bit downcast.

This was their fifth battle against the Earth Evil Monarch, the Bone Evil, of the twenty-fourth layer.

The time for the Imperial Examination of Daxia was drawing closer, with only seven or eight days remaining.

Compared to the previous twenty-three Earth Evil Lords, the twenty-fourth layer's Earth Evil Monarch Bone Evil had control over tens of thousands of Evil Soul Soldiers. His own cultivation level had reached around that of a human Martial Artist's Reincarnation Three Layers, and he also possessed a mind akin to that of a human commander.

The most troublesome aspect was that Bone Evil was made entirely of white bones.

Swords and spears could not penetrate it, nor could water or fire harm it. Even Ye Lingyue's attacks with spiritual power, or even her Black Cauldron Breath, found no weaknesses to exploit.

Bone Evil's Primordial Power was also profound; he would task his Evil Soul Soldiers with trapping Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo until they were exhausted before making his move.

"No one is perfect, I must find a way to discover Bone Evil's weakness," Ye Lingyue pondered deeply, stroking her chin.

After a day's fierce battle, Little Zhiyo lay on Ye Lingyue's knees, licking the wounds on its forelimbs, a flash of ferocity in its eyes.

The first layer of Earth Evil Hall was a place that immensely honed one's abilities.

Both Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo had experienced significant refinement during this period.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Lingyue made a decision.

She intended to infiltrate Bone Evil's Withered Bone Castle, believing in the saying, "How can one capture tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den?"

"Little Zhiyo, it's our final battle."

Ye Lingyue stretched her limbs and smiled at Little Zhiyo.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, Ye Lingyue gazed toward the fortress-like Withered Bone Castle. After swallowing an Invisibility Elixir, and with Third Brother He's Qi Avoidance Pearl in her mouth, she dropped straight down and swooped into the Withered Bone Castle.

The Withered Bone City of the twenty-fourth layer's Earth Evil Monarch was more than ten times larger than the one Ye Lingyue had seen when she first entered Earth Evil Prison.

After concealing her own Qi, Ye Lingyue entered the Withered Bone Castle.

This Bone Evil Monarch truly had some brains; unlike the other Earth Evil Monarchs' rough and crude castles, this Withered Bone Castle bore traces of human castles both inside and out.

The Evil Souls of the twenty-fourth layer of Earth Evil Prison had already crudely learned the method of transformation.

Hence, within the castle, there moved Evil Souls that could transform into human or beast forms.

However, these were beings without Spiritual Wisdom, and even if they could transform, most of them could only turn into figures with coarse appearances or into unsightly half-human half-beasts.

With the Breath Concealing Pearl in her mouth, the Qi that belonged to a human was fully masked on Ye Lingyue.

A misty Evil Soul, transformed into a half-human half-snake woman, was floating past in front of Ye Lingyue.

"Don't move."

The Evil Soul heard an ominous voice in the air, but when it looked around, there was nothing.

A cold and bone-chilling Qi climbed along its body—that was a thread of Black Cauldron Breath, snakelike.

Upon seeing that Cauldron Breath, the Evil Soul shuddered with fear.

It was that person!

The Evil Soul immediately recognized that wisp of Cauldron Breath. Over the past dozen days, countless Evil Souls had been refined by this terrifying Black Cauldron Breath.

The Evil Souls of Earth Evil Prison fearfully referred to it as "Death Breath."
