Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 758 - 732 Subduing Demon Court

When the first rays of sunlight of the second day rose in the east, Snow Mountain had already become bright. In the early morning, Snow Mountain was so beautiful, as if one had entered a fairyland on earth.

The vast white snow reflected against the sky, threads of radiant light as if the fairy kingdom was bestowing its blessing far and wide.

This night had been magical for Xinyue, as she dreamt a dream that was both beautiful and endlessly long. It was such a vivid dream, as if she had experienced it herself; so much so that when she opened her eyes upon waking, she remembered every detail clearly, as though it was right before her eyes. Upon seeing the fabric of the tent’s roof and looking at Tang Guo beside her, Xinyue realized that it had all been a dream, and instantly she felt a wave of melancholy.

"So it was just a dream..." Xinyue slowly sat up, and a blush involuntarily rose to her cheeks.

It is said that what one thinks about by day, one will dream of at night, but how could she have had such a dream?

Could it be that she had indeed developed those kinds of feelings? Thinking this, Xinyue’s blush deepened even more.

She stood up and stepped out of the tent, looking at the fairy-like Snow Mountain outside, its beauty resonating with the beauty in her heart. Unconsciously, she found herself in front of Tangyu’s tent, hesitating whether or not to check if Tangyu was up yet. Raising her eyebrows in a flash, she realized the tent flap was not properly closed, she went over and saw that Tangyu was not inside. Moreover, judging by the neatness inside the tent, it seemed as if no one had stayed there the night before.

At the sight, an inexplicable pain surged in her heart, coupled with feelings of wistfulness, loss, and a touch of sadness.

Xinyue then glanced at Liang Youshan’s tent and witnessed the same situation. Now, she was certain that Tangyu and the others had left without saying goodbye the night before.

"He has left, without saying goodbye..." Xinyue felt as though her heart was being ripped apart.

How could he leave without saying goodbye?

Was this parting to be forever?

Would there be no chance to see each other again? novelbuddy-cσ๓

Is life just about meeting once by chance, and then after a hurried farewell, parted for a lifetime?

At this moment, Xinyue felt an outpouring of emotions, as if something very important in her life had been lost.

"Xinyue, you’re up so early?" Jin Hong came over; he already knew that Tangyu and the other had quietly left, which suited his plans perfectly. However, seeing Xinyue’s saddened face made him quite uncomfortable.

Xinyue glanced at Jin Hong but did not wish to talk to him more.

Jin Hong felt even more displeased, "They left, and that’s that. They are not from our world. It was just a chance encounter in life, don’t think too much into it."

"Shut up," Xinyue, feeling a sudden flash of anger, snapped at Jin Hong then walked away.

Jin Hong’s face darkened as well, biting his teeth in anger: "Hmph, Tangyu—you better disappear from Xinyue’s world forever. If you show up again, I won’t be polite. No matter if you’re a traditional medicine savior, or a Divine Doctor. Dare to provoke me by taking a woman I fancy, and you will have to face my wrath."

The boundless Snow Mountain, towering into the clouds, enveloped by mist all year round, gave the impression of entering an Immortal Realm.

The depth of the snow on the mountain made travel difficult, and a single misstep could lead to dangers like avalanches. Indeed, climbing Snow Mountain required immense courage, and now such journeys are often called adventures.

Two figures moved across the snowy landscape as if walking on flat ground, deftly rushing up Snow Mountain, climbing such steep slopes as if it presented no difficulty at all.

For Tangyu and Liang Youshan, with their current strength, the dangers of Snow Mountain were of no concern.

"After a heavy snow, it’s the time when the snow lotuses are most likely to appear. The hundreds-of-years-old snow lotuses have some Spirituality. They are often found at the summits, their favorite places. There’s a peak facing north, gathering Extreme Yin, its light blocked by several taller peaks; the yin energy is profound there. Snow lotuses favor places of Extreme Yin, so the probability of finding snow lotuses there is larger," Tangyu pointed towards a not-so-tall mountain peak.

Liang Youshan didn’t understand these things, so naturally, he followed Tangyu’s lead.

The two quickly headed towards that peak, and after crossing several summits, they arrived.

"Look over there—" Tangyu suddenly pointed to a spot with a hint of joy on his face.

Liang Youshan quickly looked over, and when he just saw several pure white, holy blossoms growing on the edge of the summit, he became excited: "Ha-ha, great fortune indeed, absolutely good luck! Who would have thought we’d stumble upon such good fortune as soon as we set out. Tsk tsk, it’s actually a bunch of snow lotuses, as many as eight! Tsk tsk, such rarity is unparalleled. Ha-ha, truly heaven is helping us."

Ordinarily, snow lotuses appear singularly, and to find even one is extremely rare. Yet there, suddenly, were as many as eight.

Tangyu’s face was also full of smiles: "It truly is a rare sight, eight lotuses on a shared stem, with the largest one in the center being the Mother Snow Lotus, and the other seven its offspring. This largest Mother Snow Lotus must be nearly a thousand years old, and the seven small lotuses also look to be three to four hundred years old. Hard to come by, truly very hard to come by. It looks like this time, we are destined to make a hefty profit."

Liang Youshan was about to rush over to pick them but was held back by Tangyu: "Going like that, you’ll surely fail to catch them. A thousand-year-old snow lotus has high spirituality, and it may even have cultivated to the Innate Realm. Once you startle them, they are likely to burrow into the snow mountain, and by then we would be completely out of options."

"Ah, then what should we do?" Liang Youshan was taken aback.

Tangyu said: "Of course, I have a way. If it were before my strength had increased, I might not have had much confidence. But now, we must not let it escape. I will approach quietly, then strike like thunder, directly capturing it. You, on the other hand, will be responsible for any that might try to escape. The moment I make my move, you must act immediately to encircle them. This time, we must catch them all, and definitely cannot afford to let any escape."

Liang Youshan nodded earnestly: "Of course, if even one dares to run, I won’t allow it. Let’s do it."

Tangyu tiptoed forward, instantly becoming as silent as a ghost as he approached the eight snow lotuses. At this moment, the eight snow lotuses were absorbing yin, following a heavy snowfall, which was the best time for absorbing yin.

A thousand-year snow lotus, as long as it is allowed to continue cultivating, could very likely turn into a demon.

Tangyu’s experience was sufficient as he had previously accompanied the Ghost Doctor to pick snow lotuses, and he was all the more cautious now. Soon, Tangyu got as close as five meters in front of the snow lotuses.

"The time is now." Tangyu suddenly moved with lightning speed, his velocity bursting to the extreme. Now at the Eighth Layer of the Innate Realm, his strength was far beyond his previous abilities. With all his might, he was as quick as lightning, reaching the eight snow lotuses in a flash, his hands transformed into demonic claws, aiming to grasp all eight snow lotuses in his hands.

Of course, the most important was the mother, the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus. If he could deal with this lotus, the others would be much easier.

The eight snow lotuses also sensed the danger, especially the Mother Snow Lotus, whose body began to sway, ready to burrow into the snow mountain and escape.

But it was already too late for that, for Tangyu wouldn’t give it a chance. The moment the Mother Snow Lotus began to bury itself into the snow, Tangyu’s large hand had already swooped down and grabbed all eight snow lotuses in one go.

Meanwhile, Liang Youshan had also rushed over, but he no longer had the opportunity to show off.

"Haha, we’ve struck it rich, I feel like we could even go buy lottery tickets." Liang Youshan was excited, almost to the point of agitation.

Tangyu took out the Jade Box he had prepared earlier and placed the eight Snow Lotuses inside, but just then, several figures rapidly approached, quickly encircling Tangyu and him. The group consisted of five individuals, all dressed alike, clearly from the same sect.

Tangyu quickly put away the Jade Box, his gaze turned cold as he surveyed the five people. Liang Youshan’s mood also soured; they hadn’t even had a moment of enjoyment before these uninvited guests appeared. Who would dare to come and vie for their prize at this point if not seeking death?

Tangyu sized up the five, each one clearly a martial artist of the Innate Realm, aged between twenty to thirty. The aura emanating from them suggested to Tangyu that these were not ordinary fellows; they probably had some significant strength.

Tangyu’s gaze quickly settled on the eldest of the five men, evidently their leader. He was close to thirty and was looking directly at Tangyu with an unfriendly expression, "The two of you have just harvested Snow Lotuses, right? I have an impolite request, and I don’t know if I could ask you both a favor. We have a friend who is gravely injured and requires a Thousand-Year Snow Lotus as a Medicine Guide. Could you two possibly part with these Snow Lotuses for us? Think of it as the Subduing Demon Court owing you a favor, how about that?"

A frown appeared on Tangyu’s brow, and a sharp coldness flashed in his eyes—was this what they called an ’impolite request’?

To demand a gift openly and then profess an obligation of gratitude was nothing but blatant robbery.

Seeing such audacity, Tangyu became angry, snorted coldly and said, "A favor? Sorry, but I’m not the least bit familiar with you, nor do I wish to be. Subduing Demon Court? Never heard of it. Regarding the favor, let alone our lack of interest in owing one, even if we did, it would be too expensive—I don’t think it’s worth it. So, gentlemen, please be on your way."

The leading man’s face grew colder upon hearing Tangyu’s words, and he looked at Tangyu with eyes flickering with menace, "Are you saying that you’re completely disregarding the face of our Subduing Demon Court?"

Liang Youshan was also fuming, rolling up his sleeves in anger, "Damn it all, the Subduing Demon Court? Aren’t you pompous! Who are you trying to scare? Isn’t everyone here to make their way in the world? Who doesn’t have a background? Think you’re something special because you’re from the Subduing Demon Court? Do you know who we are? We’re from the Myriad Saints Valley. Your ’little’ Subduing Demon Court counts for nothing. And the five talents of the Subduing Demon Court, do you think that could intimidate anyone? You must be knocking on the wrong door. Stop looking for trouble if you know what’s good for you and clear off fast, don’t spoil our mood. Seriously, what kind of people... daring to compete here."

The five talents of the Subduing Demon Court were seething with anger, exuding a dense killing intent.

The leading man gave Liang Youshan a cold glance and said disdainfully, "Myriad Saints Valley? That’s a grand title indeed. Even if you are disciples of Myriad Saints Valley, you’re nothing but lowly Outer Sect Disciples. Myriad Saints Valley has tens of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples—they’re dime a dozen. Do you really consider yourselves Inner Sect Disciples? Merely two Outer Sect Disciples, what’s the big deal if we beat you up or even kill you? Would Myriad Saints Valley stand up for two insignificant individuals like you? Hilarious and absurd."
