Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1878 - 1875: Kneel Before Me
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
Xu Wendong respectfully cupped his hands and said loudly, "Greetings, Senior Sister."
"There’s not much left to scavenge in these ruins, and the remaining treasures probably won’t interest you. In that case, let’s return directly."
Li Jiayin looked indifferent, without any hesitation, and after speaking, she led Xu Wendong away from the ruins.
The eight elders were all dumbfounded at this sight.
They watched helplessly as such a good prospect was easily taken away by Li Jiayin, their hearts filled with unwillingness.
Elder Xuanlu was even angrier, clenching his fist tightly, knowing well that Xu Wendong had a fifth-grade divine power technique on him. If they couldn’t recruit him, then this technique would surely be handed over to the Sect Master?
Thinking of this, Elder Xuanlu felt an immense sense of regret.
"It’s really infuriating!"
Elder An Guang was also flushed with anger, turning to Lou An nearby, further inflaming his rage: "It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, I might have already taken in Lin Mo, you damned fool, kneel before me!"
Elder An Guang’s eyes were wide with anger, exuding a terrifying aura that, like an invisible force, directly pinned Lou An to the ground.
At this moment, Lou An was sweating profusely, sweat beads as large as beans rolling from his forehead and soaking the ground.
Yet in his eyes, there still arose a crazed killing intent.
Grinding his teeth, his heart continually roared, "Damn it, that kid actually joined the Sect Master’s tutelage, and is even close to Li Jiayin. Stealing my woman and falsely accusing me, and even causing me to lose an arm! If I don’t avenge this, I’m not fit to be human!"
Lou An secretly devised in his heart, having lost an arm, with his current cultivation level he probably couldn’t continue to contend with Xu Wendong.
However, since he couldn’t deal with it, he would have others do it.
He suddenly thought, wasn’t Wu Tianxiong, ranked second among disciples, also fond of Li Jiayin?
This time would be a perfect opportunity to sow discord!
Wu Tianxiong, with a peak cultivation at the third level of Tongyou Realm, possessed formidable strength. If he took action, not even Li Jiayin could stop him.
"Kid, let’s see how you’re going to die!" Lou An’s gaze was sinister, his mind made up, and he immediately prepared to plot this scheme.
Simultaneously, Xu Wendong was also contemplating how to deal with Lou An.
He was hardly a merciful person. If it weren’t for Lou An’s interference, affecting his chance to break through the ninth layer of the Nine-layered Glazed Treasure Tower, he might well have obtained the Three-Life Stone Fragment.

Returning to the Heavenly Nether Sect, Li Jiayin walked briskly, her demeanor revealing a hint of urgency. Without saying a word, she led Xu Wendong back to their original courtyard.
Upon stepping into the courtyard, she turned to Xu Wendong and said, "Junior Brother, tidy up a bit first, and then follow me to the Sect Master Hall."
Xu Wendong nodded slightly and quickly got to work, simply clearing away the dust and fatigue on his body.
Once Xu Wendong was properly tidied, the two immediately set off toward the Sect Master Hall.
The location of the Heavenly Nether Sect was nestled within a deep valley, the scenery inside was tranquil and picturesque, nine mountain peaks rose from the ground, resembling nine giant dragons resting there.
These nine peaks belonged to the eight great elders and the Sect Master respectively.
Among them, the Sect Master’s location was the towering Sect Master Peak.
Ascending Sect Master Peak, Xu Wendong looked around to see that the area was quiet and scarcely populated.
Besides a few people wearing simple clothes and busy cleaning, there were only two disciples, one being Li Jiayin beside him, and the other being himself.
"Senior Sister, it seems Sect Master Peak doesn’t have many people." Xu Wendong said awkwardly.
Li Jiayin nodded gently, her expression carrying a touch of helplessness as she explained, "My father has been in seclusion cultivating and rarely takes on disciples, hence few are willing to join the Sect Master Peak."
Upon hearing this.
Xu Wendong felt a tingling on his scalp, secretly pondering why Li Jiayin insisted on bringing him here.
No wonder those eight elders dared to compete with the Sect Master for disciples, there was a reason behind it.
"What? You regret it?" Li Jiayin suddenly smiled, her smile like the warm sun in spring, instantly dispersing the surrounding chill, making one unwittingly captivated by it.
She was the acknowledged number one beauty of the Heavenly Nether Sect, and this smile was even more breathtaking.
Xu Wendong hurriedly waved his hand, saying seriously, "To be admitted under the Sect Master is truly my honor."
He knew well that with this identity, future affairs within the Heavenly Nether Sect would be much more convenient.
Moreover, with his possession of the "Nine Netherworlds Manual" and the Tongyou Finger, two powerful cultivation techniques and divine skills, he didn’t think the Sect Master could offer him much substantial guidance in cultivation.
Merely relying on these, his cultivation speed could already far surpass ordinary people.
"Rest assured, I won’t let you down." Li Jiayin smiled broadly, her eyes shimmering with confidence. "What I excel in, you’ll learn too."
As she spoke, the two arrived at the grand Hall atop Sect Master Peak.
The hall was magnificent, with upturned eaves and beam supports, solemn and majestic.
Above the hall door, a large plaque hung high with the words "Sect Master Hall" inscribed in grand, forceful strokes.
Next came a complex and solemn initiation ceremony.
In the hall, Xu Wendong solemnly picked up a stick of incense, lighting it, as smoke curled upwards.
With both hands, he placed the incense into the censer, thus officially joining Sect Master Peak.
After the ceremony concluded, Li Jiayin took out an identity token from her sleeve and tossed it to Xu Wendong casually.
The token in hand felt weighty, etched with mysterious patterns, gleaming faintly under sunlight; this was the proof of his identity on Sect Master Peak.
"You’ve just entered the sect, there are some things I need to explain to you." Li Jiayin furrowed her delicate brows slightly, her expression turning serious, beginning to detail the structure of the Heavenly Nether Sect to Xu Wendong.
The Heavenly Nether Sect is divided into nine peaks and six halls.
The nine peaks are naturally the elder peaks of each of the eight elders and the Sect Master Peak; the six halls are the Punishment Hall, Deacon Hall, Treasure Hall, Scripture Hall, Divine Pill Hall, and Disciple Hall.
These six halls each have their own responsibilities. In the Punishment Hall, the atmosphere is eerie with instruments of punishment lined up, managing all punishment-related affairs within the sect.
In the Deacon Hall, disciples come and go, tasked with distributing various assignments; the Treasure Hall is filled with an array of exotic treasures, housing numerous rare treasures.
In the Scripture Hall, secret technique manuals pile up like mountains, storing countless valuable techniques; the Divine Pill Hall is lined with pill furnaces, fragrant with elixirs, dedicated to refining various elixirs.
The Disciple Hall is responsible for all disciple information, extremely important.
In the Disciple Hall, all disciple records are neatly arranged, each corresponding to a soul lamp, with its flame flickering, akin to the candlelight of life.
If a lamp goes out, it signifies the corresponding disciple has died.
Meanwhile, the Disciple Hall is also responsible for ranking disciples, with many disciples striving to improve their ranks, heading to the Deacon Hall to receive assignments, venturing out to earn points.
These points are widely used, allowing access to the Treasure Hall, Scripture Hall, and Divine Pill Hall to choose desired treasures, cultivation techniques, and elixirs.
Under such a strict and orderly system, all disciples are like precise gears, together supporting the functioning of the massive entity that is the Heavenly Nether Sect.
Xu Wendong listened intently, gaining an initial understanding of the Heavenly Nether Sect in his mind.
