Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

"Vice Hall Director of Wuxuan Wuji Hall, heed the order. By the name of Emperor of Great Zhou, your Medicine Hall's doctor is invited to the palace," it was several military officers who had come. They carried themselves with pride and arrogance and paid no heed to the angry glares of the martial artists as they made to barge inside.

"Who gave you permission to trespass into the Martial Arts Hall!" Suddenly, a thunderous outburst was heard.

A young military general was seen walking out of the Martial Arts Hall.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the leader of the Imperial Guard was at first stunned, then took a closer look.

After this glance, the leader of the Imperial Guard shuddered violently.

"General Yun," he immediately dismounted, along with the rest of the Imperial Guards, and they bowed in salute.

The Yun Residence, from top to bottom, was known for its undying loyalty. Yun Bahe, as the Martial Saint of Great Zhou, had under his command no fewer than a hundred officers in his earlier years.

Though the Yun Residence had been on the decline in recent years, the title of Young General Yun still held sway.

Yun Canglang had also been a famous ferocious general in the military since his early years.

"There's no need for excessive formalities. I will explain the matter to the Holy Emperor myself," said Yun Canglang without another word, taking with him a group of the Imperial Guard to return to the Imperial Palace to report.

"General Yun, please wait," Ye Beiming stepped forward and whispered into Yun Canglang's ear.

After listening, Yun Canglang pondered for a moment and nodded his head gratefully.

Seeing how things had played out, the group from Medicine Emperor Pavilion could only give up and return first.

However, the master and apprentice from the Magic Temple had different expressions on their faces.

"Master, do you suspect that this person is the one who refined the Moon God's Praise?" Xia Wenxu was also very curious about who could have created a Holy-grade Elixir.

"Whether it's him or not, we will find out in a few days. But as for Yun Canglang's fate…" Ji Yu frowned involuntarily.

"His life is full of hardship, destined to die young, and even if he doesn't, he's fated to lead a mediocre life, but..." Xia Wenxu and his master looked at each other, realizing for the first time that they had both misread a person's destiny.

The crowd outside Wuxuan Wuji Pavilion also returned to the Medicine Hall.

"Master, everyone outside has dispersed. Now that I have revealed my identity, I fear that it will bring you unnecessary trouble," Zong Ren only thought of this afterwards, realizing that he was within the territory of Dazhou and that injuring the Crown Prince of Dazhou might bring unnecessary trouble to Yun Sheng.

"You needn't worry about this matter; I have my ways of dealing with it. But there is something I want to ask you, do you know of Dihong City?" Yun Canglang had only briefly spoken about Dihong City earlier, and Yun Sheng was still not well-versed in the affairs of the continent.

After hearing Yun Canglang's explanation, Yun Sheng thought that there were many dubious points in the whole matter.

Although her uncle's hand had healed, those who harmed him and took the lives of so many innocent Yun Family Army soldiers—she had no intention of letting the matter rest so easily.

Yun Sheng believed that Yun Canglang was not someone who would let things rest either.

Yun Sheng suspected that a large part of the reason why Yun Canglang had left the Yun Residence and become a Hunter Soldier was to distance himself from the Great Zhou Army, so as not to drag Great Zhou or even the Yun Residence into his own troubles.

One day, when his strength allowed it, Yun Canglang would surely seek out the people of Dihong City to settle scores and avenge the brothers of the Yun Family Army who died in the ambush.

"Dihong City? Heh, master, I hope you haven't gotten yourself involved with a dreadful place like Dihong City. However, why are you asking me about Dihong City? Logically, you should ask your master; he, like the City Lord of Dihong, is a Summoning Emperor Level power. Presumably, they should have connections in many places," once Zong Ren heard this, he raised an eyebrow and was also clearly puzzled.

Summoning Emperor Level powers?

Could it be that inside Dihong City, there were also Summoning Emperor Level powers present?

"My master is a reclusive expert who typically shows no concern for these affairs. Or are you, a Holy Beast Summoner who has roamed the continent for decades, telling me you don't know about Dihong City?" Yun Sheng understood the temperament of her "old" subordinate quite well.

Zong Ren is quite proud and, once provoked, will surely spill everything he knows like bamboo tubes spilling beans.

"Of course, I do know, my master, and don't you forget—I have a Bat King Demon Beast. With it, wherever there are bats, I can find out information." Zong Ren really fell for it, and boastfully recounted everything he knew.

On the continent, Summoners are mostly from the Summoning Court, but there aren't many who have reached the Summon Emperor Level.

Among the current living few strong individuals at the Summon Emperor Level, those from the Summoning Court are the most numerous, including the current Summon Emperor, making up a total of three people. Of course, this doesn't include those hidden masters, like the "master" of Yun Sheng, who is an unknown peerless expert on the continent.

Among the three known Summon Emperors, one is the City Lord of Dihong City.

However, unlike other Summoners, the City Lord of Dihong City is not a Mage as the others are.

The Summon Emperor from Dihong City conjures through music, using the Emperor's Song lute to summon Demon Beasts.

It is said that he is the only person on the continent who can directly summon Divine-level Demon Beasts with the sound of the lute.

Zong Ren mentioned this and then thought for a moment: "Right, master, speaking of which, while you were administering treatment earlier, the zither played by that young girl beside you seemed to be the Emperor's Song."

Zong Ren had visited Dihong City decades ago and was fortunate enough to hear the Emperor's Song once.

Although Huang Que's power was not enough, and the zither sound was quite audibly pleasant, it indeed resembled the melody of the Emperor's Song.

Within Dihong City, the two most prestigious families are the Xuan Family and the Yuan Family.

These two families are said to have been formed by the relatives of the first City Lord and his wife.

The woman that Yun Canglang mentioned earlier, who he fell for at first sight, is indeed a member of the Yuan Family.

Although the Xuan and Yuan families each have their own clans, according to the regulations set by the first City Lord couple, each generation of the Xuan and Yuan families must have at least one man and woman married to each other.

The couple must jointly cultivate the Emperor's Song; only then can they cultivate the most powerful Emperor's Song.

This rule has been passed down in Dihong City for many generations.

Hearing this, Yun Sheng also guessed that Yuan Shahu was the girl chosen from this generation's Yuan Family to cultivate the Emperor's Song with the City Lord's eldest son.

"You're saying that Demon Beasts are summoned using the Emperor's Song?" Yun Sheng found this very unbelievable.

She herself was a Summoner, and summoning had always been done using a Summoning Array.

"Yes, the Emperor's Song is divided into nine parts. It is said that a person who can cultivate to the highest realm can summon Divine Beast Level Demon Beasts with the Emperor's Song. Not only that, but the Emperor's Song can have different effects depending on the person. For example, a Martial Artist can enhance their fighting spirit, but if a Mage uses it, they can enhance their Magic Soul.

But if a Summoner uses it, they can summon Divine-level Demon Beasts.

However, after the death of the first generation Di Hong Xuan Yuan couple, it has been very difficult for the Emperor Hong Clan to cultivate the nine parts of the Emperor's Song.

Every person in Dihong City, after turning six years old, will be taught the first three parts of the Emperor's Song.

Then, when they reach ten years old, they will undergo the first Emperor's Song test.

Only those who pass the test can learn the later chapters of the Emperor's Song.

Yuan Shahu once played the latter chapters of the Emperor's Song in front of Yun Canglang, indicating she is also a genius-level figure among the Di Hong Xuan Yuan Family in this area.
