Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Chapter 768: Friend or Foe? (Second Update)



"Hua Tuo certainly doesn't have this ability," Fang Yu said, rolling his eyes.

Seeing that Chen Daotian's injuries had healed, Fang Yu continued, "Looks like they really have set their sights on us... Since they dare to come time and again with such strength, I'm convinced they'll come at us again."

"What am I supposed to do then? I feel the enemy's strength is overwhelming. After receiving the Divine Statue's baptism, I only managed to fight him to a standstill. What about the other brothers?" Chen Daotian worriedly said.

"Since they are after the Dragon Scale and Feng Yu, of course, I have to give them a chance," Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said.

"Brother Yu, what do you plan to do?"

"Lure the snake out of the hole."

Upon hearing this.

Chen Daotian, with a puzzled face, asked, "What do you mean by luring the snake out of the hole? Won't this be dangerous since the enemy is so powerful?"

"I think they can definitely sense the aura of the Dragon Scale and Feng Yu. I had previously sealed the aura of the Dragon Scale and Feng Yu, so they could not detect it, which led them to you. Did you, during your cultivation, recklessly spread your dark energy around and attract them?" Fang Yu asked.

"No, no such thing. I've always kept a low profile... With the Dark Forest Law at stake, how dare I release my energy carelessly? There are heavens beyond our heaven, and people beyond our world—I understand this principle," Chen Daotian said, not at all sincerely, betraying a strong sense of guilt.

Fang Yu couldn't be bothered to say more and simply said, "Just be more careful. I plan to release a bit of the aura of the Dragon Scale and Feng Yu. By then, working together with Ye Wenjun, and you, our three Constant Sand, setting up an Array should be able to capture one of them for some serious questioning."

"Hmm, that could work. But where should we set the trap?" Chen Daotian asked.

"The city isn't peaceful these days; there are Secret Realms everywhere, and people dare not venture out recklessly. We should pick a slightly secluded place, somewhere in Jiangzhou City will do. Just make sure not to harm ordinary people," Fang Yu said.

"Got it! Understood."

Fang Yu knew that he would have to confront these people sooner or later; the plan had already formed in his mind, just that the opportunity to implement it had not yet arisen.

...

Meanwhile.

In the grand hall of the Kunlun Sect.

Those in black robes stood on both sides of the grand hall, watching respectfully the figure seated on the Dragon Chair, their chief, Ye Xie.

Even Ye Kurong was merely a minor character this time, standing in the middle of the grand hall waiting for orders.

Standing on the first step below the Dragon Chair were the Elders of the True Phoenix Clan.

In the middle of the grand hall, however, lay a person covered in blood, his face pale—

"True Lord, I was struck by that villain's Black Demon Palm; dark energy is assaulting my heart. Please save me, True Lord. That youngster must be their accomplice. Previously, I followed Ye Kurong's instruction, deducing that the Dragon Scale and Feng Yu were in that direction. Little did I expect their strength to be so profound. True Lord, I beg you to save me!" said that clan member.

Witnessing him continuously spitting black blood.

The members of the True Phoenix Clan, however, remained indifferent.

As for the disciples of the Kunlun Sect, they watched the man in shock – the True Phoenix Clan, so indifferent even to their own, who were they, really?

But...

Even Sect Master Li Daochang had to swallow his pride now—what more could they say?

After a long time.

Ye Xie, seated on the Dragon Chair, finally spoke:

"The True Phoenix Clan has only just returned; everything is still unfamiliar... You acted so recklessly, and it can be said you brought it upon yourself. Although the Secret Realm is rich in Spiritual Energy, no one knows whether there are Cultivation prodigies in this world, prodigies who could close the gap with the Secret Realm. Have you ever considered this?"

"This..."

Ye Xie continued, "Just now, I heard an explanation from Li Daochang, the Sect Master of the Kunlun Sect, and gained some understanding of modern civilization. Although modern people do not practice cultivation, they have mastered modern technology, and hold mighty weapons in their hands. There are rumors about the most powerful weapon among them, capable of destroying an entire planet! Do you know about this?"

Upon hearing this statement,

not only the members of the True Phoenix Clan were shocked, but also the other people from the Kunlun Sect had their faces filled with astonishment.

At this moment,

Ye Kurong suddenly knelt down, hastily saying, "It's my fault for not investigating the strength of the opponent thoroughly before taking action, for being self-conceited and contemptuous. I am willing to accept punishment! But right now, just after the return of our True Phoenix Clan, it is a time when every hand is needed. We can't just let our clan members die. This would also dishearten them, please, True Lord, decide!"

Ye Xie's gaze fell upon Ye Kurong and said,

"Give him a Nine Transformation Pill. If this happens again, he will not be forgiven so easily."

Hearing this, the person kowtowed with deep gratitude, "Thank you, True Lord, thank you, True Lord!"

Following that,

Ye Xie looked outside the grand hall, sighing deeply, "I didn't expect that after eight thousand years, humans could change so much. Modern civilization, it's truly unbelievable. It must not be underestimated, absolutely not..."

"True Lord, we also have some clues now about the whereabouts of the Dragon Scale and Feng Yu. Modern civilization has advanced weaponry, so are we just going to wait?" someone said.

"No..."

Ye Xie raised his hand, stating,

"My True Phoenix Clan is not comparable to other clans! The Elders are strong; send one or two of them to Jiangzhou to scope out the situation. But they must not act rashly. Furthermore... the disciples of the Kunlun Sect are quite familiar with the current world. Are you confident you can deal with these modern weapons?"

As soon as this question was raised,

Li Daochang quickly knelt down and said with clasped hands, "Senior... The wisdom of modern people is profound. Although they possess advanced weaponry, such weapons are seldom used. Other weapons cannot compare with us cultivators. The use of more powerful weapons requires layers of approval and decision-making; they are not easily deployed. Therefore, we just need to infiltrate their ranks and control their superiors. This will help us to control the situation in Jiangzhou City. The same method can be applied to other states!"

Upon hearing this,

Ye Xie's eyes shone with brilliance and said, "Good! We'll do it this way... If the task is accomplished well, I assure you that the Kunlun Sect will become the number one sect in the world today."

"Thank you, Senior!"

Li Daochang was profoundly moved, realizing that with the protection of the True Phoenix Clan, the Kunlun Sect would have an easier path ahead.

After receiving his orders, Li Daochang quickly arranged for people to carry out the plan.

Following that,

silence returned to the grand hall.

Ye Xie looked around and then said,

"Elders, you must be tired from the journey. Let's end here for today; everyone should go back and rest."

"Yes, True Lord."

The row of Elders bowed.

Ye Xie then said, "Ye Renyu, stay behind."

Among the group of Elders, an elderly man who appeared to be in his sixties stopped; even though he looked old, he was very respectful in front of Ye Xie.

"True Lord, my cultivation has reached the Fourth Class Saint Realm of the Light King."

"Hmm... A Light King level Saint... not bad. It will be your responsibility to investigate Jiangzhou; do you feel confident?"

Ye Renyu immediately clasped his hands and said, "Your subordinate is confident!"
