Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1198 - 258: A Night of Darkness and Treachery

The voices outside included one familiar sound, a waiter.

And another was...

He recognized it as the voice of Hua Feng’s Hua Wanyun.

Di Shen remembered that Hua Wanyun originally came with Ye Lingyue to Yanmen City, but because Ye Lingyue went to Huangquan City midway, Hua Wanyun was left alone in Yanmen City.

Hua Wanyun was entering the Ancient Nine Provinces for the second time; logically speaking, an experienced person shouldn’t stay in Newbie City for so long.

Di Shen didn’t have much connection with Hua Wanyun. Given his nature, he was too indifferent to establish ties with people, but since Hua Wanyun had a good relationship with his wife, Di Shen naturally paid more attention.

At this moment, Di Shen should have directly gone out to warn Hua Wanyun.

But then he thought about it: the death of Hua Feng’s senior disciple Zhao Tianlang had always been an unsolved mystery.

Hua Feng had been investigating for a long time; their master also mentioned it in their presence earlier. The people in the north wing were definitely related to Zhao Tianlang’s death. If he went out now, he would alert them, and at most, he could only catch that waiter.

That waiter was clearly just a low-level thug.

Di Shen pondered for a moment, deciding to pretend he knew nothing and wait until around midnight to see what exactly those people were up to.

That night, Di Shen turned off the lights early.

Around midnight, he suddenly heard movements in the hallway. He turned over to look through the door gap.

He saw Hua Wanyun in night clothes, climbing over the inn’s high walls heading out.

Thinking quickly, Di Shen focused intently, splitting his body into two.

He placed his Primordial Spirit Avatar on the bed while his true form silently slipped out the window with the Qing Bai Demon.

Shortly after Di Shen left, a shadowy figure snuck into his room.

Seeing the prominent figure sleeping on the bed and hearing the sound of his sleep, the figure relaxed and exited swiftly.

Yanmen City at night was pitch dark.

On the streets, there were no signs of people.

Occasionally, there were a few City Guards patrolling with beasts on the long street, but Hua Wanyun, armed with the waiter’s information, swiftly moved towards the city gate.

The city gates were already shut, yet Hua Wanyun took no notice of them.

She took a deep breath, leaped into the air, and soared over the city walls.

Hua Wanyun’s cultivation was between the Six Paths of Reincarnation and Divine Power Realm. Without considering the Fire Spirit factor, she was superior to the likes of Yue Mubai.

She got the waiter’s information that the murderer of Zhao Tianlang was likely gathered at an abandoned Land Temple three to four miles outside the city.

She had been tracking Zhao Tianlang’s case for several months and finally had a lead. Even though the waiter’s words might not be true, Hua Wanyun wouldn’t miss any clue.

It was dawn by the time she reached the Land Temple.

The darkest moment of the day.

In a place like the Ancient Nine Provinces where humans, demons, and magic mingled, the Land Temple had long lost its incense offerings, but under the blackness of dawn, there appeared to be faint lights in the temple.

The presence of people delighted Hua Wanyun.

With her arms flat on her sides, she flew into the Land Temple like a bat, landing on the temple’s eaves.

Inside, there was a rustling sound of conversation.

Words like "Zhao Tianlang... dead..." were repeatedly mentioned.

Inside, several figures were gathered, discussing something.

Hua Wanyun felt a chill at heart, pondering the strength of those figures, all seemingly at the Reincarnation Realm.

As dawn was breaking, those conversations seemed to conclude as well.

Unable to hold back any longer, Hua Wanyun pushed hard downward, a sudden "boom" sounded as the already decrepit roof of the Land Temple crumbled.

All the people in the Land Temple turned their heads.

"Who dares to harm Zhao Tianlang, a disciple of Lonely Moon Sea!"

Hua Wanyun yelled angrily.

The person standing in the center of those figures slowly turned around.

The man was in his twenties, with honey-colored skin, his features weren’t as exquisitely refined as Di Shen or Bo Qing, but they were well-defined, very handsome, full of masculinity.

Once Hua Wanyun saw the man’s appearance, her initial rage instantly shifted.

Her eyes reflected mixed emotions, surprise, joy, and she involuntarily cried out.

"Liu Yu!"

The man in the Land Temple bore a striking resemblance to Hua Wanyun’s lover from more than ten years ago, Hua Feng’s Liu Yu.

Back then, Liu Yu and Hua Wanyun were an enviable couple. They were childhood sweethearts, and upon adulthood, they became a Dual Cultivation Couple and entered the Ancient Nine Provinces together.

However, after completing their respective novice trials, Liu Yu and Hua Wanyun entered the Central Plains together. There, Liu Yu sacrificed himself in a beast tide to protect Hua Wanyun, perishing.

Hua Wanyun watched as her lover was torn apart by the beast tide, suffering emotional and physical trauma. She swore never to enter the Ancient Battlefield again.

She never expected to see Liu Yu in this moment, in this place.

Hua Wanyun didn’t notice that at the moment the man turned, his two accomplices showed sinister smiles.

"Wanyun, is it really you?"

"Liu Yu" was tearful, and walked over impulsively.

In his slightly eerie eyes, there was feigned tenderness.

"It’s me, Liu Yu, how are you here? I thought you were dead."

Hua Wanyun stepped forward towards Liu Yu.

"I’m not dead, I’ve been looking for you too, this time, we can finally be together again."

"Liu Yu" moved closer, and in an instant, his eyes glowed with malice, releasing a cold beam from his sleeve aimed at Hua Wanyun’s throat narrow target.

The cold glare was exceptionally sharp, filled with deadly intent.

Hua Wanyun felt a sharp pain in her throat, suddenly a hand grasped her shoulder pulling her back forcefully.

"Watch out."

Hua Wanyun stumbled back a few steps.

"Ding" sound echoed, and a Nirvana Golden Dart struck the wall behind.

With a loud crash, a hole broke open in the Land Temple wall.

Awakened from her thought, Hua Wanyun instinctively touched her neck, which stung fiercely with a layer of skin already broken.

"You?"

As the scene shifted, where Liu Yu once stood were now three masked figures.

Each of them concealed their face with only their eyes visible.

The one in the center with cold eagle eyes was the same person from the north wing and the one who invaded Di Shen’s room previously.

Suspicious and deeply guarded, this person never expected his meticulously planned strategy over nearly a month to be disrupted by a passerby.

Behind her was a tall man.

"Senior Sister Hua, it’s me, Di Shen."

Di Shen’s timely rescue helped Hua Wanyun avoid a Life and Death Tribulation.

Upon hearing Di Shen, Hua Wanyun felt a bit ashamed.

"It’s you? Weren’t you sleeping soundly in the inn, well? If you don’t rest comfortably on the bed, then go lie in a coffin, tonight you’ll all die!"
