Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 836 - 329: The Coming Crisis

"Who are you?" The people from the Summoning Court were wary, and several Demon Beasts surrounded Ye Beiming, whose demeanor was completely out of place with the simple villagers of the Fishing Village.

Although he showed no signs of fighting spirit or magic wave, merely standing there exerted a great sense of pressure.

Qiu Niang hurriedly said, "He’s my hus..."

Qiu Niang had long had good feelings for Ye Beiming, seeing him stand up made her feel both joy and worry.

"I’m Qiu Niang’s elder brother, a martial master at the Martial Arts Hall in the neighboring town, very familiar with the mountain paths," Ye Beiming intercepted Qiu Niang’s words.

Although Qiu Niang was his savior, he didn’t want to be involved with other women.

If Qiu Niang or another villager were taken as guides by this group of summoners, they would end up on a road to ruin. He saved her life to repay her life-saving grace anyway.

Dugu Xiu broke the Space-time Magic Array at the last moment, disrupting Yun Sheng’s initial plan.

Ye Beiming had already asked; today’s date was half a year later than Yun Sheng had anticipated.

During this half-year, the Taiyuan Prince had already fused with the Blood Crystal, and the claws of the Summoning Court had infiltrated Taiyuan Mountain.

If his guess wasn’t wrong, in one or two days, it would be the day when the Red Robed Pope Ji Rufeng enacted the Purple Gold Beast Blood Curse on Taiyuan City.

Ye Beiming wanted to see what these Summoning Court summoners were up to at this time.

"So you’re a martial master, no wonder you look so strong," several summoners murmured, especially the female summoners, who couldn’t help but glance at Ye Beiming with an ambiguous look.

Qiu Niang was a bit disappointed, but she still plucked up courage, "Brother, you haven’t been back to the village for a long time, you might not be familiar with the mountain paths, I’ll accompany you into the mountains."

"Yes, the two of you go into the mountains together," the summoners were still skeptical of Ye Beiming’s words. Qiu Niang was weak, and if anything changed midway, she could be used as a hostage.

Several summoners led a few Demon Beasts, following Ye Beiming and Qiu Niang up the mountain.

Five hundred years ago, Taiyuan Mountain was much different than how it was five hundred years later; now, Taiyuan Mountain was lush and green everywhere.

At the foot of Taiyuan Mountain, there were a few guards from Taiyuan City. The summoners had already put away their Demon Beasts, changed clothes, and wore an appearance of fishermen.

The guards knew Qiu Niang and just made a routine inquiry.

Qiu Niang nervously said they were villagers going into the mountains to chop wood, and the guards believed it, letting them into the mountain.

The mountain path was very smooth, and the Gang Wind in the area of Sea and Sky was greatly diminished by a special array used by the Taiyuan City Lord.

The path upwards had no more forks.

"This should be the spot," the disguising summoners stopped at about two to three kilometers in altitude.

The summoners immediately summoned the Demon Beasts, and had one of them watch Ye Beiming and Qiu Niang.

They then took out some Magical Beast Blood, and began to draw magic arrays at several spots on the mountain.

Ye Beiming watched closely; they were drawing some very special magic arrays with Beast Blood.

Once the magic arrays were completed, the summoners were satisfied, "Finally, tomorrow the Summoning Emperor can successfully enact the Purple Gold Beast Blood Curse."

"Taiyuan’s brat doesn’t know what’s good for him, actually conspiring to counter-attack the Summoning Court."

"After tomorrow, Taiyuan City will cease to exist; the Purple Gold Beast Blood Curse is one of the most bizarre Ancient Forbidden methods, able to turn living people into Demon Beasts."

Ye Beiming then realized, the purpose of these summoners entering the mountain was to quietly lay arrays in the mountain.

Qiu Niang couldn’t understand what these people were talking about; all she knew was that a moment ago, Ye Beiming’s body emitted a penetrating coldness.

But once the summoners returned, that chill vanished without a trace.

"You two, today’s happening must not be leaked, or the entire Fishing Village will be buried with you," the summons ordered the two down the mountain after finishing the magic arrays.

Ye Beiming pretended to agree submissively.

At Sea and Sky, the summons ordered Ye Beiming and Qiu Niang to walk ahead.

After walking a few steps, suddenly a gust of wind swept by, Qiu Niang let out a tragic cry, and flew away. Ye Beiming pretended to grab her, and both fell off the cliff.

Behind them, a summoner had just finished chanting.

"Alright, all settled, we’ll head back tomorrow. Haha, the Ivory City Taiyuan City, it has countless treasures and rare Demon Beasts," after finishing off witnesses, the summons hurried down to report to some guards, claiming someone had fallen off the mountain.

Inside Taiyuan Castle, Yun Sheng and Dugu Xiu were brought into the castle by guards.

Ye Beiming was still nowhere to be seen.

Yun Sheng was secretly anxious.

"Ahead is the breeding shed. Several Demon Beasts raised by the City Lord have been very peculiar lately. Doctor Yun, could you help check the cause?" Taiyuan Castle housed numerous Demon Beasts.

However, in recent days, these Demon Beasts have been exceptionally strange, refusing to eat normally and injuring several caretakers.

Yun Sheng checked and found nothing abnormal, but she acutely sensed that the arrays in the breeding shed were not quite right.

The arrays seemed no different from usual.

But upon closer inspection, one would find these arrays had quietly changed.

"I’ll prescribe some medicine. Mix it into their food from the pharmacy; it should take effect within a day," Yun Sheng took out some common Medicinal Herbs, then made an excuse to stay in the shed for further observation.

The guards weren’t suspicious and went to prepare the herbs.

"What do you think? These arrays have been tampered with?" Once alone, Yun Sheng bent down to examine the arrays.

Dugu Xiu leaned nearby, alertly watching their surroundings.

With Ye Beiming absent, Yun Sheng needed Dugu Xiu’s assistance; she had no choice but to respond annoyedly: "These arrays have all been transformed. They now resemble summoning arrays; these Demon Beasts have likely been secretly controlled by a powerful Mage."

Dugu Xiu already knew Yun Sheng was a Summoner.

He just hadn’t seen Yun Sheng’s Demon Beast, thus didn’t know she was an extremely skilled Summoner.

He didn’t understand magic or summoners at all.

He only knew he must protect Yun Sheng during this period.

However, after observing for a while, Dugu Xiu found he enjoyed spending time alone with Yun Sheng.

Under the Lighting Magic Array, Yun Sheng’s profile looked even more enchanting. Just sitting there quietly made him feel secure.

Yun Sheng wasn’t aware of Dugu Xiu’s fantasizing beside her.

She tinkered with the arrays for a while, and soon held several things resembling Magic Crystals in her hand.
