The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 956: Identity
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, Qiu Lin was not the only one who was stunned by the sudden revelation. Even Zhou Yan, who was about to leave, froze.

From the very beginning, he had helped Ye Chen with the attitude of an expert helping a weaker junior.

However, this junior turned out to be a far stronger expert than himself!

He had heard the name Ye Shitian countless times recently, as a few days ago, the changes in the Heaven’s Declaration rankings had caused quite a stir.

No one had imagined that Ye Shitian’s name would jump from the very end to the 727th. It was utterly heaven-defying!

Moreover, this heaven-defying person was right in front of him!

Everything around them suddenly became quiet, and countless eyes were locked on Ye Chen. Even the hidden experts were observing Ye Chen, trying to probe his cultivation level and strength.

However, in the end, they realized that they could not figure out anything.

This reminded them of a saying…

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss will stare back at you.

That was how they felt right now.

However, at this moment, Ye Chen was also in a daze.

He looked at the identity token in his hand with some doubt. If he remembered correctly, his ranking was clearly around the 900-mark.

Why did it suddenly jump up to the 700-mark?

Also, why was it Ye Shitian instead of his own name?

Did he have two names on the Heaven’s Declaration rankings?

What the hell was this?

Before Ye Chen could react, he heard a thud behind him.

He turned around and realized that Qiu Lin, who had been overbearing earlier, was already kneeling in front of him.

“Mr. Ye, I was blind. Please spare my life. If I knew that it was you under the mask, I would never have dared to attack.”

“I’m willing to slap myself a hundred times to beg for your forgiveness.”

Then, there were slapping sounds.

This was Qiu Lin’s expression of his desire to live.

Ye Shitian was famous for his bad temper, and would kill at the drop of a hat. From Qiu Lun’s perspective, the silence just now was the calm before the storm.

Even if he had to pay any price, he had to survive this storm. After all, his life was the most important.

Ye Chen’s eyes remained indifferent. He had no desire to take action against this clown.

However, it did not mean that Ye Chen would not pursue the matter.

He glanced at Qiu Lin and said lightly, “Cut off one of your arms. Don’t appear in my sight in the future, and I won’t kill you.”

Qiu Lin was stunned. He wanted to refute, but he realized that he did not know what to say. If he made Ye Shitian take action personally, he would lose his life instead of his arm.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then gently waved the folding fan in his hand across his arm.

Instantly, blood spurted out like a fountain, and one of his arms was severed.

“Ahhh!” He could not help but exclaim. Then he stood up and took a deep look at the masked Ye Chen as he grabbed his broken arm and hurried off.

A few seconds later, Zhou Yan also walked up. He cupped his hands and said, “Mr. Ye, it was my fault for being rude just now. Even if I didn’t do anything, Mr. Ye would be able to handle it.”

Ye Chen had a good impression of Zhou Yan. Most importantly, Zhou Yan seemed to know a fair bit about the Blood Spirit Secret Realm.

At the very least, he could obtain some useful information from the other party.

His current identity was Ye Shitian, so it was impossible for Han Daoshan to stop him. Therefore, he could enter without worry.

Zhou Yan seemed to have noticed Ye Chen’s doubts and said frankly, “Mr. Ye, this is probably your first time in the Han family’s territory and you’re not familiar with many things. Don’t worry, it’s not my first time in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm and I’m very familiar with everything around me. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m a living map of this place. Mr. Ye, why don’t we team up and go in? I’ll follow your orders!”

Zhou Yan knew how terrifying Ye Shitian was. If he could tie himself to this mysterious young man, there was at least an 80% chance that he and Ye Shitian would come out alive!

Ye Chen thought for a moment and asked, “Zhou Yan, when can I enter the Blood Spirit Secret Realm?”

Zhou Yan had never expected that the young man in front of him would not even know about such a trivial matter.

He could only explain, “Mr. Ye, because Han Daoshan had a conflict with a kid called Ye Chen yesterday, the opening time of the Secret Realm has changed. Tomorrow is the opening time of the Blood Spirit Secret Realm. However, we rogue cultivators can’t go through the main entrance. There’s a small entrance to the south of the Blood Spirit Secret Realm. The entrance is a little dangerous, but it is the only way for rogue cultivators like us to enter the Secret Realm.”

“Where are the disciples from the major sects?” Ye Chen followed up with another question curiously.

“Mr. Ye, you might not know this, but the disciples and forces of the large sects and families all have special access channels, which are completely different from how we are treated.

The area they enter the secret realm will lead them to the center of the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, whereas we have to find a way to kill our way to the center. The risk I’m talking about is that we have to enter the ferocious beasts’ area of the Blood Spirit Secret Realm.”

“Mr. Ye, there are many unfair things in this world. I’ve been cultivating hard for so many years to bridge the gap between me and the geniuses of the sects. I thought I had narrowed the gap after entering the Heaven’s Declaration rankings, but now it seems that the gap will only get bigger. The Blood Spirit Secret Realm is the only chance for ordinary people like us to make a comeback.”

Ye Chen nodded and did not say anything else. He patted Zhou Yan’s shoulder. “I’ll get going then. I’ll see you tomorrow when the entrance opens.”

“Yes, Mr. Ye. We’ll meet here at eight tomorrow morning,” Zhou Yan said excitedly.

It seemed like Ye Shitian had a good impression of him, so he had to seize this opportunity.

…

Ye Chen then left the Han family’s territory and removed his disguise. He was prepared to look for Elder Yuan and Ji Lin when he noticed two auras approaching him from behind.

He stopped in his tracks and was about to attack when he realized that the two figures were Ye Lingtian and Mo Ning.

“Ye Chen, I’ve finally found you. It wasn’t easy for me to get rid of the elder of the Mo family. Also, this little brother of yours is quite interesting. After he found out that something had happened to you, he quarreled with my father. If it weren’t for the fact that you had saved me before, this little brother of yours might have died there and then.”

Ye Lingtian stepped forward and knelt on one knee after Mo Ning finished speaking. “Hall Master, I’m useless. If I meet those fellows again, even if my soul is destroyed, I will drag those people who insulted you down to the Netherworld.”

Ye Chen smiled and helped Ye Lingtian up with one hand. “It’s alright. Some things will be repaid in due time. We’ll see when the Blood Spirit Secret Realm opens tomorrow.”

“Ye Chen, what’s wrong with you?” Mo Ning was surprised. “Are you going to the Blood Spirit Secret Realm too? Aren’t you aware of your current situation? Everyone is lining up to kill you, and there are so many of them that they are all over the place in the Han family’s territory!”

Ye Chen was her savior, so she naturally did not want Ye Chen to die like this.
