Peerless Divine Doctor
Chapter 2170 - 2171: The Patriarch’s Past
The gist of the situation is that those who came from various major factions to treat the Ancestor have encountered trouble!
Li Ba couldn’t ascertain the specifics; it seems they’ve been trapped by the Ancestor.
Ye Luo and the Saintess exchanged a glance; the Ancestor merely wanted to strip these people of their Divine Souls! However, they couldn’t guess the specific purpose.
"I think it’s necessary to visit the Princess again!" Ye Luo said.
The Saintess’s expression turned strange, "Are you falling for her?"
Hearing this, Ye Luo glared at her, "I’m going there on official business!"
"Hmph, being with me isn’t official business?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Ye Luo immediately felt a headache; the Saintess was definitely the most jealous among his women.
When they arrived at the Princess’s great hall, several servant girls were glaring at Ye Luo.
"Um, is the Princess here?"
"Hmph, you still have the face to see the Princess? You really are a beast!" one of the servant girls cursed loudly.
Ye Luo knew this servant girl followed the Princess closely and had a sister-like bond with her. She probably knew some of the previous events.
"I have important matters to discuss with the Princess. You better step aside! I don’t want to take action against you!" Despite this, being cursed by a servant girl left Ye Luo feeling displeased.
If it weren’t for his guilt towards the Princess, he would’ve taught the servant girl a lesson long ago.
In the Martial Realm, there’s no distinction between genders; it’s all about strength.
"Hmph, give up already. We won’t let you in!" The servant girl was completely unyielding!
"You asked for this!" With that, Ye Luo slapped her.
A mere servant girl repeatedly opposing him made him angry. Cultivators cultivate for what? For freedom! Now this servant girl was making him feel uneasy, so he had to discipline her.
"Do you only know how to bully women?" The Princess suddenly walked out, her face pale.
Clearly, she still had some injuries.
Originally, these injuries could be healed by channeling some Spiritual Power, but she chose to let them heal naturally like an ordinary person!
Or rather, her heart didn’t want these wounds to heal so quickly.
"Come in with me!" The Princess said with displeasure.
Ye Luo snorted at the servant girl and then walked inside.
"Why are you getting angry with my servant girl?" The Princess asked irritably.
"It’s not about who she is. The important thing is she affected my mindset!" Ye Luo replied.
The Princess gave him a speechless glance, "Alright, what’s the matter you need to discuss with me?"
Only then did Ye Luo’s expression return to normal, "Of course, I’m worried about your health, so I came to check on you!"
"Get lost! Were you worried about me that day?"
Looking at the Princess, Ye Luo felt a bit guilty, "I was influenced by that thing, you should know that!"
Then, they both fell into silence.
Long after, the Princess sighed softly, "At this moment, I partly blame myself, so I haven’t blamed you. Maybe it’s a consequence of my own actions!"
Ye Luo chuckled, approaching her and wrapping his arms around her slim waist.
"You scoundrel, let go of me!"
"See, you’re still blaming me!" Ye Luo laughed.
"You’re shameless!"
The Princess’s emotions were chaotic. To say she wasn’t blaming him, was it possible?
"The thing inside my body has been expelled!" Ye Luo suddenly whispered by her ear.
"What!" The Princess’s expression changed dramatically!
"You!" She hesitated to speak!
"You shouldn’t have told me this!" Her expression turned somewhat frantic.
"No worries, I know what you’re worried about! But this matter, he will find out sooner or later. I just wanted to tell you," Ye Luo replied.
Only then did the Princess’s expression become more natural.
"You should know, after all these years of working for him, he always has ways of controlling me, even though I’m not sure how. But I know one thing: whatever you say, he can naturally hear it!" The Princess’s expression turned bitter.
"Can you tell me about him?"
Ye Luo was, of course, referring to that monster.
The Princess sighed. Since Ye Luo had shared this secret with her, she deliberated for a moment and slowly began to speak.
"My grandfather, who used to be the former Island Master of the Divine Spirit Island, was considered the top expert here overseas. But after a sea voyage, my grandfather came back changed!"
Following that, the Princess fell into recollections of the past.
To be exact, during his voyage, her grandfather encountered a powerful entity. But after returning, he fell silent, and to this day, it’s a mystery!
Afterward, her grandfather went into seclusion, and upon coming out, his condition rapidly worsened, trusting only the Princess.
Gradually, authority on the Divine Spirit Island fell into the Princess’s hands.
Initially, there was nothing wrong with this. After all, her grandfather only had her as his closest kin; appointing her as the next Island Master wasn’t unreasonable!
However, under her grandfather’s instructions, the Princess began managing the affairs of Divine Spirit Island. But of course, she was merely a puppet, unable to make her own decisions, and simply followed her grandfather’s directions!
Even though many things seemed off to her, she didn’t overthink them, as it was her own grandfather.
However, it gradually stirred dissatisfaction among others on the Divine Spirit Island.
Their style of handling matters was completely different from before!
The Divine Spirit Island had always been very low-key, but after the Princess took over, its style completely changed.
She frequently engaged with other factions and invited many medical practitioners to the Divine Spirit Island under the pretext of treating her grandfather.
Originally, this wasn’t a problem, but issues soon emerged.
After living under the same roof, the experts on the Divine Spirit Island discovered that her grandfather was actually devouring the Divine Souls of those cultivators!
This is a taboo in the Martial Realm!
There is a path to cultivation, but her grandfather’s actions were against the Heavenly Dao; that was the Demonic Path!
Thus, the experts on the Divine Spirit Island collectively tried to dissuade their Ancestor.
After all, her grandfather had absolute prestige on the Divine Spirit Island.
But they were disappointed!
Though the Ancestor agreed verbally, in reality, he became even more excessive!
Continuously absorbing the Divine Soul Power of cultivators from various factions, everyone thought he was trying to quickly break through to the next realm.
However, by chance, the experts from the Divine Spirit Island found out that the Ancestor had already turned into a monster!
Meaning he was no longer the Island Master he used to be.
As a result, these experts took action, but since he was their former Ancestor, whatever he had become, they couldn’t bear to kill him!
Moreover, after his transformation, the old man’s strength was still formidable.
