Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 833 - 700: The Gate of Calamity Is About to Open
Die Mei listened by the side, her heart tossing with towering waves, yet terrified.
But on the surface, she was as calm as a dried-up well, without a ripple, eyes still lowered, a demeanor of dare not to defy Yue Mei’s words.
Yue Mei seemed arrogant, but in reality, she was not difficult to get along with. Disciples from such great sects could be controlled with a few compliments, unlike those from noble families who are experts in intrigue and scheming. Die Mei found dealing with Yue Mei quite effortless.
The disciples who accompanied Yue Mei to Sifang City today were all her confidants, and Elder Ying was an old-timer of the sect, so Yue Mei never doubted them.
Yue Mei spoke confidently, but the Sifang City Lord wasn’t happy about it.
"Miss Yue, do you know the true origin of the Demon Awakening Gate? And how much do you know about the consequences of opening it?"
"My master has already told me. The Demon Awakening Gate links Qing Province Continent with the Endless World. Behind it, hidden are numerous demon beasts, but I also heard that Divine Beasts might appear within. Before becoming the successor of the Three Sects, every disciple of the Three Sects can enter the Demon Awakening Gate to venture and obtain a Beast Pet. I have been designated by my master as the Direct Disciple of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, so, I should be eligible to request the City Lord to open the Demon Awakening Gate and hunt for a Beast Pet, right?"
Yue Mei said with certainty.
The Demon Awakening Gate is a taboo existence throughout the Qing Province Continent, but the Three Sects, being top existences on the continent, have the privilege of exemption.
Just as Yue Mei said, there was such an agreement between the Three Sects and the Sifang City Lord.
Even the Ancient Divine Phoenix of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion was obtained by opening the Demon Awakening Gate before the Pavilion Master succeeded the sect.
The longer a Beast Pet follows its master, the more effective it is, and the more benefits the master receives.
The Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix from Yaochi Immortal Pavilion was originally the Divine Beast of the sect, but because of Ye Lingyue, it lost a drop of vital Heart Blood.
That Ancient Divine Phoenix, with its Divine Light dimming, was already on the decline.
Yaochi Immortal Pavilion now urgently needed a new Divine Beast to restore its prestige.
That was why the Pavilion Master had made an exception and allowed Yue Mei to come to Sifang City to request the opening of the Demon Awakening Gate.
"If the City Lord does not trust me, here is a personal letter from my master, along with a token from the Sect Master." Yue Mei spoke and presented the prepared sect objects.
The Sifang City Lord took the letter, glanced at it, and his face was clouded with concern.
In the past, upon seeing the Sect Master’s token, he would not ask any further and would simply open the Demon Awakening Gate for Yue Mei to enter.
But things were different from before, especially after the incident with the Moonflower King.
The Desert Garden was destroyed in an instant.
The Moonflowers withered, and so did the Moonflower King, but the Sifang City Lord always felt that maybe the Moonflower King didn’t wither but was taken away by someone.
Although that didn’t mean the Moonflower King had bloomed, yet if the Moonflower really did bloom and the Demon Awakening Gate were to re-open, the consequences...
The Sifang City Lord’s calculations were, of course, beyond the knowledge of others.
He was also reluctant to cause a commotion and alert the Sect Masters of the Three Sects before the investigation was clear.
Once tomorrow was over, the young man and woman who mysteriously appeared in the Desert Garden would enter Sifang City. Once they were found and questioned, everything would naturally be resolved.
"Miss Yue, opening the Demon Awakening Gate requires a considerable amount of my Spiritual Power. During the time of the World’s First Refining, all sorts of people will be gathered in Sifang City, and I will also need to maintain order. Look, there are also many Fierce Beasts near the sand river, some of which even possess demon beast bloodlines. What do you think, do you want to choose one as a temporary..." Sifang City Lord suggested tactfully.
"City Lord, I am the future successor of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion; you’re asking me to take an ordinary mixed-blood demon beast as a Beast Pet? Besides, what noteworthy Fierce Beasts can be found near your sand river? To my knowledge, recently, Beast King Level Fierce Beasts have been slaughtered to extinction," Yue Mei said with dissatisfaction.
In fact, before she arrived at Sifang City, she, being clever, wanted to go to the area of Rift Valley Sand River to see if she could meet Chen Mu.
Little did she know that upon checking, she found that the Fierce Beasts near the sand river had suffered severe casualties, and the Fierce Beasts that could have prompted her to act had all disappeared.
Under these circumstances, she was even less likely to use Fierce Beasts from Rift Valley Sand River to make up the numbers.
"Miss Yue, frankly..." The Sifang City Lord, seeing Yue Mei’s aggressive stance, attempted to explain the situation with the Moonflower King, but she cut him off, clearly showing her impatience.
"What, City Lord, do you have difficulties? Don’t forget, the very existence of Sifang City is to serve the Three Sects. To put it bluntly, you are nothing more than a gatekeeper for the Three Sects, and as for those nearby Fierce Beasts, they are merely tools for the Three Sects’ elite disciples to warm up and learn how to hunt demons every five years. The depletion of Fierce Beasts near the sand river is something you will eventually have to address by opening the Demon Awakening Gate to replenish their numbers and varieties."
Die Mei, standing behind Yue Mei, shook her head silently.
But she also caught some hints.
It seems that the Fierce Beasts outside Sifang City were not there without reason; they appear to have been left there intentionally for the training of the Disciples of the Three Sects.
The Sifang City Lord’s old face turned pale, his beard trembling with anger, as he almost revealed the warning about the Moonflower King, but then swallowed back his words.
"Since Miss Yue is determined, I will keep my promise and open the Demon Awakening Gate. When do you think would be the appropriate time?"
Since Yue Mei was so confident, she would be the one to bear all the consequences.
He would also let this arrogant and impolite future successor of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion realize the true terror of the Demon Awakening Gate. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"No time like the present, tonight. Otherwise, after tomorrow, you, City Lord, will be busy selecting Disciples and won’t be able to spare the time." Yue Mei, as if she hadn’t seen the fury in the depths of the Sifang City Lord’s eyes, casually set the time.
"Good, tonight at midnight, I ask for Miss Yue to come alone with me to open the Demon Awakening Gate. Remember, you must come alone, or you will bear the consequences."
The Sifang City Lord spoke, his face showing displeasure, and turned to leave.
Originally, the Sifang City Lord intended to host the people of the Three Sects at the City Lord’s Mansion for a rest, but with Yue Mei’s attitude, he immediately abandoned the idea.
Hearing this, Yue Mei showed a look of joy.
"Nephew Yue, I wish you success tonight. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take a few Disciples into Sifang City to settle down," Die Mei said, coming forward with a few compliments, then led several Disciples to settle in the city.
