Chapter 689: Chapter 217: Leopard Elder’s Meeting [Two-in-One] _2 Chapter 689: Chapter 217: Leopard Elder’s Meeting [Two-in-One] _2 Leopard Elder Chu Chu, due to being fully recovered from his injuries and feeling rejuvenated, was not reluctant to entertain guests from all walks of life. He expressed his vitality and even seemed to enjoy the attention.

However, just two days later, Leopard Elder regretted it.

It was too tiresome!

His face was frozen in an incessant smile.

Handling one, two, three, five, ten, or even more waves of visitors was manageable. But in just two days, he attended to three to five hundred groups of guests. Ironically, each group had the same purpose: to confirm Leopard Elder’s status and inquire about the divine healer’s approach.

Compliments and greetings were welcome, but soon became monotonous and repetitious. Anyone would grow frustrated hearing the same compliments over and over again.

But he couldn’t ignore these people. If he greeted one, he had to greet all. How many in the martial world could truly hold their temper?

The same words were spoken and heard over and over again, yet people continued to come.

Leopard Elder was starting to feel like a captive beast on display.

Damn, was the feeling uncomfortable.

Being worldly-wise and seasoned, Leopard Elder quickly devised a plan—

Yes, this should work.

…

“…The divine healer said a lot when we met, he was quite sentimental…”

Leopard Elder stood on the auction stage, his voice booming. Beneath it spread a dense sea of martial artists.

Offending one, two, three, or even thirty or fifty of them was tolerable for Leopard Elder. But offending so many at once was even too daring for him.

Even demonic power has its limits. Even the fully recovered Leopard Elder would not dare to offend all the martial artists in Yuezhou City!

After all, the martial artists gathered in Yuezhou City were numerous and high-quality. Anyone of lesser standing would not dare to enter Yuezhou City at this time, swarming with hidden talents and exemplars.

“The divine healer was sentimental about… the world is full of sick people, and too many of the injuries are unnecessary. Violence is a constant factor in our world, and as long as it occurs, at least one side is bound to be injured…”

“The number of casualties increases daily, but his ability to heal is limited at best. Particularly those injuries that strike at the very core of a person, once inflicted, are likely to leave the victim crippled for life.”

These words, both spoken and unspoken, were deeply resonating.

The martial world is indeed such a place – kill or be killed.

Conflict occurs every single day, whether for fame, fortune, personal pride, or grudges…

Every day, it is the same unavoidable story.

“The divine healer candidly said that although he is in Yuezhou, given the current circumstances, he dares not show himself. Even if he had miraculous healing abilities, he could not heal all the sick people in Yuezhou City even if he had a hundred more hands!”

“My exception this time is due to the karmic connection from helping deter the Demon Beasts and assisting Yuezhou. Everyone is aware of the gratitude I owe, so, unfortunately, my opportunity can’t be replicated. I’m saying this outright so that people won’t use my case as an excuse. Thank you all in advance!” Leopard Elder spoke sincerely.

Below, the martial artists were also full of sighs.

His words were indeed truthful, without a single error.

The current Yuezhou City, bursting at the seams, is so overpopulated that one could consider it “overloaded.”

Yet people continue pouring in from everywhere.

Under such circumstances, the divine healer showing himself to decide whom to cure and whom not to, poses a tremendous problem.

One must also consider, those who have been incurable for years, if their illnesses were easy to cure, would they have lingered up till today?

Such injuries were destined to be difficult to heal, requiring substantial effort and resources. The divine healer, even if he worked himself to death, would probably save only a few.

Lastly, Leopard Elder explained why he was the first patient cured by the divine healer. It was because of the previous Demon Beast wave and the tense situation with Snake Emperor He Bibiqu. This was a great achievement that had gained widespread affirmation in Yuezhou.

“The critical issue is, the divine healer understands that Yuezhou City is in its current state due to some schemers’ plans. And this plot targets him primarily!”

Leopard Elder’s voice rang out like a bell, prompting countless sighs from the audience below.

Not everyone in the martial world is naive. In fact, those capable of reaching higher level of skills are typically deep and insightful thinkers.

Those like the brothers Xu the Third, who are truly naive, are actually a minority.

Who can’t see that this is a scheme targeting the divine healer?

However, even though they realize they are being used, becoming a straw to break the divine healer’s back, they still cannot resist coming.

If they came, there was a glimmer of hope.

If they didn’t, there was no hope at all.

Anyone would make the same choice, even if it meant being used.

But, how is this fair to the divine healer?

Why should he willingly walk into this trap?

Why should he undertake an impossible task that will exhaust him and inevitably offend the majority?

Does having remarkable healing skills make him guilty?

“The divine healer repeatedly said that he longs to heal as many people as he can. But by revealing himself, his actions would make him a target for those who set this trap. He can even imagine how they will defame, slander, and malign him in many ways.”
