Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1849 - 1846: The Unfinished Deal
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
He looked around and found that here, he could clearly see the situation outside, but from the outside, he could not see inside at all.
He couldn’t help but wonder, "You can actually see outside clearly here? But from the outside, you can’t see the situation inside."
Liu Chun’er smiled without saying a word, just quietly staring at Xu Wendong, her gaze seemingly able to see through his thoughts.
"Young Master Lin, is there a transaction between us that hasn’t been completed?" Liu Chun’er finally broke the silence, her voice gentle yet carrying a hint of certainty.
Upon hearing this.
Xu Wendong’s heart sank, his expression instantly became serious.
He understood in his heart, this woman indeed recognized him.
In that case, let’s not beat around the bush.
"Did you send someone to follow me?" Xu Wendong slightly frowned, with a trace of displeasure in his tone.
His gaze was tightly fixed on Liu Chun’er, trying to find an answer from her expression.
"What are you talking about, Young Master Lin? Don’t misunderstand, our Netherworld Pavilion never participates in the disputes of various forces. At the time, we were just curious about Young Master Lin’s identity, so we expended some effort." Liu Chun’er smiled like a flower, her smile seeming to dispel all gloom.
Her gaze shifted like a meteor shimmering in the night sky, continuing: "Of course, we won’t announce the matter of Young Master Lin killing Zhao Mo."
With these words, Xu Wendong’s face instantly darkened further.
His fists clenched involuntarily, a sense of unease surging in his heart.
Liu Chun’er reached out and took out a storage bag, handing it to Xu Wendong and continued: "Young Master Lin, last time you promised to give me five Three Breath Immobilization Talismans, now the transaction continues, nine thousand Nether Crystals per Netherworld Talisman, here are forty-five thousand Nether Crystals."
"Are you kidding me?" Xu Wendong snorted disdainfully, his face full of sarcasm, "You sell for thirty thousand apiece, yet give me nine thousand? Twenty thousand each, no negotiations, or this deal is off."
Seeing Xu Wendong’s firm attitude, Liu Chun’er seemed prepared.
She understood well, one cannot always take advantage, especially since Xu Wendong has already shown his abilities.
The Netherworld Pavilion has always welcomed transactions with capable people.
"Alright, then twenty thousand Nether Crystals." Liu Chun’er decisively tossed the storage bag, the gesture clean and efficient.
Then her gaze shifted, a hint of mystery flashing in her eyes, she suddenly said: "Young Master Lin, don’t you want to know a piece of news?"
"What news? Do you have the whereabouts of the Three-Life Stone?" Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up instantly, like fireworks suddenly rising in the night sky.
His biggest goal coming to the Netherworld was to find the Three-Life Stone, and the moment he heard Liu Chun’er mention the news, his heart was filled with anticipation.
"Not exactly, but it’s related." Liu Chun’er changed from her fawning attitude towards Xu Wendong last time, this time, her face was full of confidence, as if she held all the secrets of the world.
She knew that this time, she was finally able to hold Xu Wendong.
"Things have to start from when you entered the Heavenly Nether Sect, whether this is good or bad depends on Young Master Lin’s ability to grasp it." Liu Chun’er deliberately paused, being coy.
Now the entire Netherworld City knows Xu Wendong is about to join the Heavenly Nether Sect, a piece of news that makes countless people envious.
However, coming from Liu Chun’er’s mouth, it sounded particularly strange, as if it wasn’t a good thing, rather it hid immense danger.
"Speak." Xu Wendong slightly frowned, his expression becoming serious.
He had already felt something odd about joining the Heavenly Nether Sect, and now Liu Chun’er mentioned it, his doubts were even greater.
He vaguely felt, back when the Heavenly Nether Sect disciple Lin Dong fought desperately to seize the opportunity, there might be some unexpected reasons behind it.
"To my knowledge, the original disciple of the Heavenly Nether Sect, Lin Dong, is about to participate in a trial." Liu Chun’er opened her lush lips, emitting a bell-like laugh, the sound carrying a touch of allure, gently echoing in the room.
As she spoke, her jade hand lightly flicked, an ancient scroll appeared out of thin air, the scroll exuded a faint mysterious aura.
She took light steps, walked to Xu Wendong, and handed the scroll over.
Xu Wendong took the scroll, a sense of inexplicable tension rising in his heart.
He slowly unfolded the scroll, his eyes quickly scanning the contents above.
As he delved deeper into reading, his face gradually turned pale, the originally bright eyes instantly shrouded by gloom.
"That Old Man Bai wants to harm me!" Xu Wendong cursed through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger and unwillingness.
His hand tightly holding the scroll trembled slightly, as if he wanted to crush this thin sheet of paper.
The scroll detailed the recent movements of the Heavenly Nether Sect.
The area where Netherworld City is located is the Southern Netherworld Domain, among the ten territories of the Netherworld. Here sects are numerous, families abound, and various opportunities are endless.
Recently, the Heavenly Nether Sect discovered an ancient relic, rumored to reveal faint traces of the Three-Life Stone Fragment.
Just the aura of the Three-Life Stone Fragment is enough to drive the entire Heavenly Nether Sect crazy, not to mention the relic possibly holds endless treasures within.
Though.
Entering the relic is no simple task.
One must participate in an extremely dangerous trial, and participants must not exceed the Eighth Layer of the Soul Transformation Realm.
This trial is fraught with dangers, akin to the Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave, failure spells only death.
Heavenly Nether Sect has many disciples, those below the Eighth Level of Soul Transformation Realm are innumerable.
Even if it took sacrificing disciples’ lives, some could be sent into the relic.
But the Heavenly Nether Sect has many people with connections, these individuals live in luxury, naturally unwilling to send themselves to die.
Thus, they conceived a lottery method, anyone drawn must participate in the trial.
The Heavenly Nether Sect selected ninety-nine participants, and Lin Dong happens to be among them.
"Damn!" Xu Wendong felt his eyelid twitching madly, an ominous premonition enveloping his heart.
Everyone originally thought joining the Heavenly Nether Sect was extremely good fortune, now it seems, taking Lin Dong’s place extremely likely meant stepping into a dead end!
Lin Dong was truly unlucky, having been chosen to partake in this deadly trial.
Liu Chun’er looked at Xu Wendong’s furious expression, not only without sympathy but rather laughed even more happily.
Her laughter was like an owl’s call at night, carrying a hint of schadenfreude.
"Young Master Lin, this may not be a bad opportunity." Liu Chun’er laughed lightly with her hand over her mouth, the smile like a blooming poppy in spring, beautiful yet dangerous: "After all, upon entering the relic, maybe you’ll soar to new heights?"
She tilted her head slightly, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes, continued: "And don’t you always want to find the Three-Life Stone? There could be Three-Life Stone Fragments in there."
Xu Wendong looked at Liu Chun’er’s schadenfreude demeanor, feeling a bit discontent.
He let out a cold hum, thinking this woman indeed couldn’t bear to see him doing well, just hoping for him to run into misfortune.
"If it’s an opportunity, why would the Heavenly Nether Sect come up with such a ridiculous lottery, moreover the so-called lottery is actually selecting disciples without strong backgrounds, sending them to their deaths." Xu Wendong spoke frankly, his gaze revealing a sharp cold light.
In Xu Wendong’s view, the Heavenly Nether Sect didn’t care at all about the lives of those bottom-tier disciples.
Once these disciples are dead, another group can replace them, someone will ultimately pass the trial gate to enter the relic, and the final beneficiary will certainly be the Heavenly Nether Sect.
"No wonder, no wonder that Old Man Bai doesn’t care about Lin Dong’s life." Xu Wendong grew increasingly furious, his fist clenched unconsciously: "He just needs someone to replace Lin Dong."
