Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1898 - 1895: A Flawless Conspiracy
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
"You all... You all betrayed the Heavenly Nether Sect, what good can come of it?"
Zhao Ying’er was shaking with anger, her almond eyes widened as she glared at Liu Shijie and Elder Liu, questioning them directly.
She never expected that the Liu Family would be so audacious, not only daring to seize the Nether Crystal Vein but also slaughtering the disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect.
Once this betrayal is exposed, they will surely face the relentless pursuit of the Heavenly Nether Sect, with absolutely no way out.
"Betrayal? No, who said we betrayed the Heavenly Nether Sect?" Liu Shijie laughed wildly, his laughter filled with arrogance and pride.
He squinted slightly, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes, and continued, "This was clearly provoked by the Fire Lotus Saint Sect to seize the Nether Crystal Vein, causing this conflict."
"And I happened to pass by this area, discovering the disciples of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect robbing the Nether Crystal, and personally witnessed them killing you all."
"Heartbroken, I then eradicated the people of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect," he said while feigning a sorrowful expression, his face exaggeratedly portraying grief, which was revolting.
These words made Zhao Ying’er’s face darken like the sky before a storm, her hands clenched tightly, nails nearly digging into her palms.
Su Yun and the others from the Fire Lotus Saint Sect were even more shocked, their eyes wide and mouths agape, unable to believe that the Liu Family’s plan was so venomous and thorough.
This was practically a meticulously crafted plot. Eventually, not only could they seize the Nether Crystal Vein, gaining immense wealth, but they could also cleanly distance themselves, placing the blame on the Fire Lotus Saint Sect while avenging Liu Annan, truly hitting three targets with one stone, with malicious intent.
"Your idea looks decent, but your plan has a huge flaw." Xu Wendong took a deep breath, striving to remain calm.
Then, he grinned, the smile carrying a hint of confidence and determination.
"Oh? What flaw?" Elder Liu raised an eyebrow, a flicker of curiosity in her eyes as she looked at Xu Wendong, seemingly interested in what he was about to say.
"That is... you underestimate me too much!" As Xu Wendong’s words fell, his figure abruptly flashed, like a black lightning, instantly disappearing from where he was.
He had cultivated the Dark Dragon Roaming Step to the Small Success Realm, and now with a mere thought, using this miraculous movement technique, he appeared ghost-like behind Liu Shijie.
Swinging the Mountain Splitting River Breaking Axe in his hand with a cold gleam, Xu Wendong firmly placed it against Liu Shijie’s neck.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, everyone was stunned by this sudden change, unable to make any response.
"Great! Lin Mo, I knew you had a way!" Zhao Ying’er was so excited her face was flushed, her eyes sparkling with excitement, almost jumping for joy.
She never expected Xu Wendong’s speed to be so fast, able to instantly control Liu Shijie in such a critical situation.
Having Liu Shijie as leverage, Elder Liu surely wouldn’t act rashly, granting them a sliver of hope.
"Wow... What background does the Heavenly Nether Sect have that makes him so formidable?" Su Yun was genuinely impressed, looking at Xu Wendong with a gaze full of admiration and astonishment.
Recalling the scene before where he was beaten like a pig’s head by Xu Wendong, he still harbored some resentment in his heart.
But witnessing Xu Wendong’s decisiveness and such an powerful display, that resentment instantly dissipated, replaced by excitement and thrill.
"You bastard! How is your speed so fast?" Liu Shijie’s eyes widened in fear and disbelief.
He never thought Xu Wendong would launch a sudden attack when least expected, and at such speed that he couldn’t dodge.
"Your brother was defeated in the same manner, he truly was a waste. Initially, I intended to spare him, but he insisted on courting death. Now you tell me, do you want to join him below?"
Xu Wendong’s voice was chilling as frost, as if emerging from Nine Nether Hell.
He stared intently at Liu Shijie, his gaze full of murderous intent.
At this moment, with a mere exertion of force from him, he could easily slice open Liu Shijie’s neck.
After all, Liu Shijie was merely at the Ninth Level of Soul Transformation Realm, akin to a waste in Xu Wendong’s eyes.
"You..." Liu Shijie’s pupils contracted, his eyes filled with terror. He turned his head, looking towards Elder Liu, shouting loudly, "Mother, save me!"
His voice was imbued with despair and plea, as if clutching at the last straw of survival.
In the face of this sudden scene, the disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect following Elder Liu, seemed as if afflicted by the immobilization spell, all standing stunned, faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Their eyes were round and wide, mouths slightly open, as if wanting to say something, yet rendered silent by the shock.
No one anticipated Xu Wendong to have such divine intervention, seizing control of Liu Shijie with lightning speed.
Thus, the situation reversed instantly; Xu Wendong’s side appeared to hold the key to victory.
After all, Elder Liu had only two sons, one now dead in the Netherworld, and if Liu Shijie encountered misfortune too, she would truly be left with no descendants.
"Great, now we have a chance to escape." Zhao Ying’er’s face was filled with excitement, her eyes shining as if seeing the dawn of hope in the darkness.
She moved swiftly towards Xu Wendong, thinking that as long as they firmly control Liu Shijie, they have leverage to negotiate with Elder Liu, potentially resolving the crisis smoothly.
The disciples of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect were also overjoyed, originally believing they would face a dire situation today, but unexpectedly Xu Wendong came up with such an excellent countermeasure at a critical moment.
Their gazes were filled with admiration and gratitude for Xu Wendong.
However, Elder Liu remained exceptionally calm, her expression as cold as frost, her eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
Not even a hint of pity was shown, as if the person seized by Xu Wendong was not her own son but a completely unrelated stranger.
"Elder Liu, you should still surrender. Considering your previous contributions to the Heavenly Nether Sect, perhaps returning to the sect to confess today would result in a lighter sentence."
Zhao Ying’er spoke earnestly, her hands on her hips, her tone carrying a touch of innocence and simplicity.
But just as her words fell, Elder Liu sneered disdainfully, the laughter akin to sharp blades cutting through the tense air.
Xu Wendong also shook his head helplessly beside her, secretly sighing, feeling that Zhao Ying’er still viewed the matter too simplistically.
With Elder Liu’s cunning and methods, how could she be easily subdued?
