Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1897 - 1894: Crisis Descends
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
"Lin Mo, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhao Ying’er widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
In her understanding, Elder Liu was a renowned oiran of the Lotus Fragrance Building, whose beauty was known throughout the Heavenly Nether Sect.
At this moment, Xu Wendong actually claimed repeatedly that Elder Liu was an old witch, something she found hard to accept.
But Xu Wendong just sneered coldly, his smile carrying a hint of mockery.
"I’m not talking nonsense." He snorted lightly, speaking with certainty, his eyes piercing as he stared at Elder Liu, saying, "This old witch, who knows what kind of demon art she’s using, her real appearance is long since withered yet she uses this false facade to disguise herself."
"Enough!"
Elder Liu gritted her teeth, speaking word by word, her eyes instantly igniting with raging anger.
She originally thought her disguise to be flawless, never expecting to be seen through by Xu Wendong in one glance, which left her shocked and furious.
"You say she is... an old witch?" The disciples of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect looked at each other in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.
Su Yun’s eyes were especially wide open, his mouth slightly agape, his face showing extreme shock; he felt his stomach churn, a strong nausea surging within him, causing his body to tremble slightly.
"Do you have any evidence?" Su Yun asked with a trembling voice, enduring the discomfort, his eyes full of doubt and expectation, as if hoping Xu Wendong could provide a reasonable explanation.
"Evidence, you’d probably have to tear off her face to know." Xu Wendong’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, his laughter containing a hint of teasing.
At the same time, his hand tightly gripped the Mountain Splitting River Breaking Axe, the handle deforming slightly in his grip, revealing his inner unease.
He knew clearly at this moment that the true adversary to face today was not the disciples of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect, but rather this seemingly weak yet deeply scheming Elder Liu.
It was she who plotted all this meticulously, she was the mastermind behind the attack on the Nether Crystal Vein and the plunder of the Nether Crystals.
"Boy, I thought you and the disciples of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect would fight to mutual destruction, and I could easily reap the benefits, but I didn’t expect you to be so clever, able to see through my plot."
Elder Liu sighed heavily, speaking as she deliberately twisted her waist.
The two mounds on her chest wobbled slightly with her movements, that deliberate coquettish display made the eyes of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect disciples almost fall out, their gazes filled with infatuation and greed.
"However, since you’ve uncovered the truth, I can’t allow you to live in this world." As soon as Elder Liu’s voice fell, a thick Yin Energy appeared in her hand.
The Yin Energy was like a black flame, leaping and rolling in her palm.
With the appearance of the Yin Energy, her aura suddenly surged, a powerful pressure like an invisible mountain, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
Her cultivation level was completely revealed, reaching the Fifth Level of the Tongyou Realm!
Such terrifying power was far beyond what Xu Wendong could handle.
Seeing this, Zhao Ying’er’s face instantly turned as white as paper, her eyes widened in fear and despair.
She lamented silently in her heart, this is big trouble now!
They were both only at the Soul Transformation Realm, facing a super expert at the Fifth Level of the Tongyou Realm, the gap was like a chasm, insurmountable.
Even with the addition of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect disciples, they would just be like a mantis trying to stop a carriage, unable to withstand one strike in front of Elder Liu.
"Lin Mo... what should we do now?" Zhao Ying’er’s voice had a trace of tremor, she turned her head to Xu Wendong, her eyes full of helplessness and bewilderment.
She initially thought this mission would be easy as pie, just finding the bandits and exterminating them would complete the mission with ease.
But now it seemed, the difficulty was beyond imagination, like an insurmountable mountain standing before them.
"What else can we do? Fight if we can, run if we can’t." Xu Wendong appeared very calm outwardly, his tone relaxed, as if the current predicament was nothing to him.
But in reality, he was calculating secretly.
Facing such a powerful foe as Elder Liu, he indeed did not have full confidence of victory, but he didn’t have no chance either.
If he could act unexpectedly, using the Tongyou Finger, perhaps there would be a slim chance to find a turn in the desperate situation.
"This... this is an internal matter of your Heavenly Nether Sect, we of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect will not get involved." Su Yun staggered to his feet from the ground, his face still with traces of dried blood, his eyes full of fear.
As he spoke, he began to call for the Fire Lotus Saint Sect disciples, preparing to flee from this place of trouble.
However, just as they intended to leave, a group of Heavenly Nether Sect disciples surged like a tide.
Leading them was a young man in a white robe, he stood tall and his features were stern.
He bore some resemblance to Liu Annan, especially those eyes, which carried a sense of sinister coldness.
"Today, none of you will leave!" The white-robed youth chuckled coldly, his laughter filled with chill, as if from the Nine Nether Hell.
He walked up to Elder Liu, bent slightly, greeted her respectfully with folded hands, and said aloud, "Mother, I’ve already surrounded this place."
"After we eliminate these people, we will raid the Nether Crystal Vein again, and then use the corpses of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect disciples to frame the Fire Lotus Saint Sect."
"Liu Shijie! Was this all a trap you set up?" Su Yun of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect, upon seeing this, his pupils contracted instantly, as if he had been struck at a vital point.
His face was filled with astonishment, staring fixedly at the white-robed youth, his eyes full of anger and shock.
He could never have imagined that all this was a well-orchestrated plot by Liu Shijie, the steward of the Punishment Hall of the Heavenly Nether Sect.
At this moment, Liu Shijie laughed continuously, his laughter echoing in the air, sending chills down the spine.
He held his hands behind his back, walking steadily to the front of everyone, his face bearing a hint of contemptuous smile, as if everyone in front of him was merely fish on his chopping board, at his disposal.
"You people of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect are truly stupid. With just a little bit of information, you fall for it completely; blame yourselves for being brainless," his voice was cold and piercing, each word like a blade stabbing into everyone’s hearts.
"And as for you, Lin Mo, you killed my brother, today don’t dream of leaving alive, I want to cut you into a thousand pieces, making you pay dearly for killing my brother!"
Liu Shijie’s expression turned even more sinister, his face seemingly shrouded in a layer of frost, his body emitting a strong aura of viciousness, that vengeful look was enough to make one’s hair stand on end.
