The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1495: Making Preparations Chapter 1495: Making Preparations Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Dugu Tianyu’s face was pale. He hurriedly cupped his fists and knelt down. He did not dare to act rashly, and did not even dare to heal the wound on his shoulder! As soon as he did this, the surrounding Primordial Chaos realm and Divine King realm guardians stopped what they were doing and knelt down. No one dared to anger the Fifth Grand Elder! In the Lingwu Continent, strength was respected and might made right. Thus, the truly strong could act with near impunity, whether it was toward enemies or clansmen.  “The northern, southern, western, and central regions have dispatched over a hundred Creation realm experts, and there are more than fifty Star Aperture realm and over a dozen Sealed Gate realm experts working together to fight the forces of the Demon Territory!” Dugu Ao’s body was surrounded by a cold aura. He glanced at his clansmen and said, “In the past, the two families didn’t conscript more than twenty percent of middle-tier factions’ experts, but now, it’s more than sixty percent!” “Ten days ago, more than forty Creation realm experts were conscripted from the ten major forces of the western region.” “Given this situation, can you not tell that things have changed?” He sighed and said, “The family head is currently in seclusion, and the Fourth Grand Elder is overseeing the territory. On the other hand, I am in charge of the headquarters.” “Since the situation and times have changed, if we keep these treasures in our possession, what use will they be when disaster strikes?” “It is imperative that we strengthen our family during this time. Do you understand now?” Dugu Ao asked as he stared at Dugu Tianyu. “Understood! Please forgive me, Fifth Grand Elder!” Sweat trickled down Dugu Tianyu’s cheeks as he knelt on the ground. He was an eighth-level Dao Integration realm expert, but he would not even be able to withstand several moves from the Fifth Grand Elder.  Dugu Ao looked at the guardians and said, “All of you should go now. The auction will be held in the headquarters of the family, Sky Sword City. In ten days, the people from the five major forces will arrive, so make the necessary preparations for them and the auction.” As soon as he finished speaking, the guardians got up and got to work. The huge warehouse of the Dugu family was tens of thousands of square meters in size. It stored all kinds of treasures, including unique soul-type artifacts, elemental artifacts, and those with special and unique powers. There seemed to be an endless number of them, and the guardians unlocked their seals one by one to take them out.  There were hundreds of Divine King realm guardians, and more than fifty Primordial Chaos realm guardians. Together with the thousands of servants, they were tasked with moving these treasures.  Despite the size of the team, they had not even finished moving a quarter of the treasures in the warehouse since the day before yesterday until Dugu Ao and Dugu Tianyu came to inspect matters today. “Tian Yu, you’ve disappointed me these few days, but be diligent, and in the future, when you reach the Creation realm, you’ll be a pillar of the family.” Dugu Ao’s expression softened a little. “In addition, there are three seventh-level Dao Integration realm elders in the family. I’ll help the four of you advance to the Creation realm.” “Once that happens, our family will become the strongest among the ten major forces!” Of the Beigong family, Linghu family, Fierce Demon Palace, Sacred Flame Sect, and the others, each faction had more than three and less than twelve Creation realm experts.  However, they had all received conscription notices from the Holy Dragon and the Divine Dragon families three days ago. As a result, there were only two Creation realm experts who remained in the western region from each force. Therefore, If the Dugu family produced three more Creation realm experts, they would be able to take advantage of this situation to expand their territory and increase their family’s strength. Perhaps by the time the other forces’ Creation realm experts returned, the Dugu family would have already become the number one clan in the western region! “Ten days from now, the leaders of the other five factions will bring treasures over!” “They are all ninth-level Dao Integration realm experts. Since we don’t have anyone at their level, and it’s not suitable for a grand elder like me to welcome them, this role falls to you,” Dugu Ao said. “Ninth-level Dao Integration realm experts?” Dugu Tianyu was stunned. It seemed that the other five factions had placed great importance on this auction. Usually, experts like these would be cultivating in seclusion in preparation for a breakthrough, yet they were leading teams over to the auction instead. Dugu Ao seemed to have read Dugu Tianyu’s mind. He explained, “Six major forces will cooperate for this auction. Given the size of this auction, they all plan to bring their best treasures. Therefore, they have to send these experts to guard the team from bandits and those with ill-intentions.” “Also, don’t forget to activate the grand formation in Sky Sword City to prevent any audacious people from trying to take advantage of the auction!” Auctions would always be a focal point for any cultivator, including bandits. There was no telling who would show up to cause trouble, so they had to make the appropriate preparations. These bandits were not weak. After all, one had to have reached a certain level of strength to survive being hunted down for such criminal acts. The weakest of these bandits was a Primordial Chaos realm expert, and there were many Dao Integration realm experts. There were even those who had reached the peak of the Dao Integration realm. Such bandits stole priceless treasures from sects and families and disappeared, never to be found. Therefore, it was imperative that they kept this from happening to the auction, especially since six major forces were involved. Furthermore, the Dugu family was the host of the auction. If the treasures were lost, their dignity and reputation would suffer a severe blow. “Understood!” “We’ll set up the Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation in Sky Sword City!” “In addition, set up formations around the residences where the major factions will be staying in order to prevent them from being attacked!”  Dugu Tianyu thought for a while and could not help but ask, “Fifth Grand Elder, shouldn’t the treasures for the auctions be stored in the leaders’ storage rings? Why is there a need to set up such a large-scale formation?” Formations were not used to protect a single person, but rather a large group or place. Logically speaking, when an auction was held in the past, the treasures had to be kept in the hands of a few people. It was only when these people arrived that the auction would commence. Formations like the Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation would be useless against any bandits who were capable of killing these leaders.
