Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1952 - 1949: A Commoner Is Not Guilty, but Treasuring a Jade Makes Him Guilty
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
It’s a shame that back then, the Painting Saint engaged in a cataclysmic battle with the Netherworld Emperor over the Three-Life Stone.
That battle shook heaven and earth, rendering the sun and moon dark, causing the entire Netherworld to tremble.
In the end.
The Netherworld Emperor achieved victory with a more overwhelming power, while the engraving knife of the Painting Saint was shattered into nine pieces, scattering across every corner of the Netherworld like meteors.
Since then, searching for the fragments of the Painting Saint Carving Knife has become the dream goal of countless strong individuals.
Who would have thought that now the Netherworld Pavilion actually obtained a fragment of the Painting Saint Carving Knife!
Moreover, they even put it up directly for sale!
Eventually, Xu Wendong got a good deal, buying it for ten million Nether Crystals.
How could the crowd present accept this?
For a moment, every person’s heart was filled with discontent and annoyance, as if a fire was burning fiercely within them.
"Master Fu, why didn’t you say earlier! You...you’re simply..." Loli was enraged, her face flushed, eyes widened like a copper bell, almost seeing stars.
If she’d known it was the Painting Saint’s knife, she would have bought it at all costs.
Not to mention ten million Nether Crystals, even twenty million, or more, she wouldn’t hesitate.
If such a Supreme Treasure were assembled, it would become a Nine-grade Treasure, possessing destructive power enough to change the landscape of the entire Netherworld.
Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin were initially stunned by Master Fu’s words, then their eyes quickly ignited with excitement.
The Painting Saint Carving Knife, it was a priceless treasure!
They could buy it for ten million Nether Crystals, it was like a dream, a stroke of great luck.
"Sigh... this item was consigned to my Netherworld Pavilion for sale by someone, with the sole requirement of not revealing what it is in advance, so I had no choice." Master Fu sighed helplessly, his face full of bitterness.
He also wished to disclose this treasure’s origin sooner.
Unfortunately, it was placed for consignment in the Netherworld Pavilion by someone with special conditions, so he could only comply.
If it were according to the usual methods of the Netherworld Pavilion, they would’ve probably started publicizing the news months in advance.
At that time.
It was estimated that numerous powerful forces from the Netherworld would come upon hearing the news, all to fight over the Painting Saint Carving Knife.
This item would have certainly fetched a sky-high price at auction.
But unfortunately, the person behind this item clearly didn’t want to reveal too much information, thus letting Xu Wendong pick it up on the cheap.
"Young man, I’ll offer fifteen million Nether Crystals, sell me the Painting Saint Carving Knife." a voice anxiously broke the brief silence.
"Fifteen million for it, that’s presumptuous; I’ll give two million!" another voice filled with disdain and competitive spirit.
"Young friend, this is just a fragment of the Painting Saint Carving Knife, I’ll offer twenty-three million Nether Crystals, how about selling it to me?"
Everyone started bidding, each voice higher than the last, as if participating in a frenzied auction.
Their eyes were fixed on Xu Wendong, filled with greed and desire, as if the Painting Saint Carving Knife in Xu Wendong’s hands was already theirs.
At that moment.
The second floor seemed plunged into a wild storm, everyone excitedly gathering around Xu Wendong, jostling and talking so noisily it caused dizziness.
Such a treasure could indeed ignite a bloody conflict, everyone wanting to buy it out of Xu Wendong’s hands.
"I’m sorry, I have no intention of selling." Xu Wendong said calmly.
Although his voice was not loud, it was firm and powerful, ringing clear like a bell, reaching everyone’s ears amidst the noisy surroundings.
Loli struggled to push through the crowd, making her way up.
She wore a full face of pride, her chin slightly raised, and said, "Lin Mo, you can’t keep this in your hands, why not sell it to me, I’ll offer thirty million Nether Crystals?"
Her voice carried a hint of arrogance and confidence, as if the price she offered was enough to tempt Xu Wendong.
As the saying goes, never show your wealth.
In the Netherworld, a place ruled by the law of the jungle, it is not a land of kindness.
If anyone knows you are carrying a valuable treasure, it would certainly attract numerous greedy eyes, like a swarm of hungry flies.
These people won’t care about your background, as long as they decide they want something, they will stop at nothing, even not hesitating to begin a bloody slaughter.
The Painting Saint Carving Knife, such a peerless treasure, is enough to cause a great uproar in the Netherworld, drawing countless coveting gazes.
"How do you know we can’t keep it?" Li Jiayin sneered: "Does your Divine Yin Hall have power? Doesn’t the Heavenly Nether Sect have any?"
Loli gritted her silver teeth, her body trembling with anger, she glared at Li Jiayin, her eyes almost spewing fire.
"You only have a few people; my Divine Yin Hall came with over a dozen people this time, enough to protect the Painting Saint Carving Knife."
"As long as you give me this treasure, I can add a bit more, how about thirty-five million Nether Crystals?" Her voice carried urgency and unwillingness, trying to impress Xu Wendong with a high price.
When this price was announced, everyone present couldn’t help but take a gasp.
But given the preciousness of the Painting Saint Carving Knife, no one disputed the price.
After all, even if it was just a fragment, it was something from the Painting Saint, invaluable.
"Not for sale." Xu Wendong said without any hint of hesitation.
He put away the Painting Saint Carving Knife, then turned and walked quickly outside with Li Jiayin.
"You... you will regret this!" Loli was furious, her eyes filled with intense resentment.
The few companions beside her had gloomy expressions, like dark clouds before a storm, evidently already plotting something unspeakable.
Since they couldn’t buy it, they’d snatch it!
The various forces on the second floor had similar thoughts.
They watched the backs of Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin, their eyes filled with murder intent.
Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin, being merely Tongyou Realm little cultivators.
Their cultivation level in the eyes of these great forces was not high, yet they carried such a valuable treasure.
Do they really think that just because they are disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect, they can rest easy?
In the face of profit, even disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect won’t be spared!
...
After leaving the Netherworld Pavilion, Xu Wendong immediately felt countless eyes, like poisonous snakes in the darkness, tightly staring at him.
Those gazes were cold and greedy, as if ready to devour him and Li Jiayin whole.
Li Jiayin’s face was also full of anxiety, her brows furrowed tight, her eyes revealing deep worry.
Though they lucked out this time.
But this might not be a good thing; instead, it feels like wearing a heavy shackle!
"Junior brother, I fear it’s hard for us to leave." Li Jiayin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
Then, she fetched her disciple token.
"I’ll signal the sect right away to send people to protect us."
Seeing this, Xu Wendong quickly grabbed Li Jiayin’s hand, stopping her action.
"Senior sister, whether we leave or not is our own affair, why trouble the sect?"
"Besides, I don’t plan on just walking away!"
"I am the butcher, they are the fish."
"What we should do is hunt them all down as prey!" His gaze was filled with fierce murder intent, like a burning flame, sending chills down one’s spine!
