Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1953 - 1950: Luring the Snake Out
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
At this moment.
Li Jiayin realized that she seemed to not understand Xu Wendong at all.
Even when faced with such a desperate situation, Xu Wendong was not planning to give up; instead, he was thinking about how to counterattack!
"What do you plan to do?" Li Jiayin asked curiously.
They had already been targeted by various factions, and without the power of the Ghost Control Realm, there was no way they could leave this place.
She truly couldn’t figure out what method Xu Wendong could possibly use to resolve this crisis.
Xu Wendong thought for a moment, and a small, broken sword slowly appeared in his hand.
The blade was covered with cracks, as if it had endured countless ages of wear and tear, yet it emitted a faint mysterious aura.
"Isn’t this the item you obtained from the Nine-layered Glazed Treasure Tower? Are you planning to use this to deal with those pursuing us?" Li Jiayin looked utterly incredulous.
"A man has his own ingenious plan." Xu Wendong smiled mysteriously.
With that, he took Li Jiayin’s hand and headed towards the inn.
To deal with the pursuers, some preparations were needed.
Like drawing a few Netherworld Talismans!
The events inside the Netherworld Pavilion, like a storm, quickly shocked all forces within the Heavenly Nether Domain.
The Divine Yin Hall and the Fire Lotus Saint Sect had already learned of the matter and had sent many experts to rush to Wu Family City without delay.
The Eight Great Families had also become aware of the existence of the Painting Saint Carving Knife, and similarly sent people to secretly monitor Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin’s every move.
Even the Heavenly Nether Sect had received the news.
Upon learning of this, Li Lingtian immediately dispatched eight elders to head to Wu Family City, determined to bring Xu Wendong back.
A massive crisis was looming over Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin like a storm.
Yet at this moment, they were still in the inn, quietly awaiting the impending storm...
One day later.
Li Jiayin was anxious, her face filled with worry, her hands trembling slightly as she knocked hard on Xu Wendong’s door.
"Junior Brother, my father has sent a message, asking us to wait for two days. The elders are on their way, specifically to protect us."
Li Jiayin spoke rapidly, with a mix of urgency and relief in her voice: "With eight elders present, I doubt the other forces would dare make a move."
Inside the room, Xu Wendong had been in seclusion for a whole day, and no one knew what he was doing in there.
Just as Li Jiayin finished speaking, the door opened with a creak.
Xu Wendong appeared, his face covered in soot as if he had been roasted by dense smoke, black ash clinging to his face and hair.
Yet his eyes glistened with excitement, as he exhaled a breath of black air and chuckled: "No, that won’t do. We must set off quickly; if we don’t, we won’t be able to deal with those trailing us in the shadows!"
With those words, Xu Wendong grabbed Li Jiayin’s hand decisively and ran toward the outside.
"Junior Brother... what are you doing?" Li Jiayin was pulled off balance, her face full of anxiety: "Father said we should wait..."
She truly couldn’t understand what plan Xu Wendong had, to the extent that he was willing to risk his life leaving the seemingly safe Wu Family City!
In recent days, the Wu Family, one of the Eight Great Families, had come to inquire about Li Jiayin openly and covertly many times.
While they ostensibly claimed to offer protection, the greed in their eyes clearly indicated they sought the whereabouts of the Painting Saint Carving Knife.
This meant that all of Wu Family City was full of hostility, with spies of the enemy all around.
In such a situation, if Xu Wendong left Wu Family City, wouldn’t it be like walking into the lion’s den, giving everyone a perfect excuse to attack?
By then, even if someone killed them, it would likely be difficult for the Heavenly Nether Sect to uncover the truth.
"Wait? I can’t wait any longer!" Xu Wendong’s voice was filled with urgency and confidence: "Young Master, I’m going to make a big move this time!"
Within this day, he had gained a lot and had the assurance of victory in his heart!
As long as a Ghost Control Realm expert doesn’t come, no matter how many Tongyou Realm enemies arrive, he is confident in slaying them!
Exiting Wu Family City, Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin shot off like arrows, quickly heading towards a mountain range.
Behind them lurked many spies from various forces, their eyes like hungry wolves, staring intently at them.
Among them were strong individuals in the Tongyou Realm, their figures hidden in the dark, ready to strike at any moment.
"Quickly inform the Family Head, Lin Mo has left Wu Family City!" a spy whispered urgently, quickly relaying the message.
"Tell the Elder, the target has appeared, and I am in pursuit," another spy, eyes alight with excitement, as if seeing the treasure within reach.
"Lin Mo has come out, I’m going to seize the Painting Saint Carving Knife now!" Another spy, eager to take action, rubbed his hands together.
Countless flashes of light streaked out like meteors, all conveying messages.
Yet those pursuing Xu Wendong had reached a tacit understanding, refraining from action against each other.
They were all waiting, waiting for the moment to kill Xu Wendong and seize the Painting Saint Carving Knife, after which a fierce battle would ensue.
The Divine Yin Hall and the Fire Lotus Saint Sect also had some disciples in Wu Family City.
At this moment, they were all mobilized, surging like a tide, with Xu Wendong as their target!
"Hmph, it seems that a mere Painting Saint Carving Knife has attracted thousands to chase down that new disciple of the Heavenly Nether Sect."
In the sky, on a luxurious flying boat, stood a young man of heroic appearance, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an extraordinary aura.
In his eyes, there seemed to be flames rising, as if containing endless power.
At his waist hung a token engraved with the words "Fire Lotus," the mark of a disciple of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect.
"Senior Brother Bai, this time we might also get to catch Li Jiayin. I heard she’s quite the Iceberg Beauty," a disciple approached Senior Brother Bai with a suggestive smile.
"Haha, I’d like to see if you strip her naked, can she still maintain her icy demeanor as an iceberg?" Another disciple chimed in, eyes gleaming with greed.
"What nonsense are you spouting, capturing Li Jiayin should obviously be presented to Senior Brother Bai for his pleasure."
The Fire Lotus Saint Sect disciples excitedly discussed, seemingly already seeing the dawn of victory.
After all, with Senior Brother Bai personally taking charge, those two disciples from the Heavenly Nether Sect should be easily dealt with.
It should be noted that Senior Brother Bai was ranked ninth within the Fire Lotus Saint Sect, with his cultivation at the Peak of the Third Level of Tongyou Realm, more than enough to handle Li Jiayin.
As for Xu Wendong, in their eyes, he was nothing more than a negligible character, not worth mentioning.
"Huh? Isn’t that someone from Divine Yin Hall?" Senior Brother Bai suddenly looked towards the distance, seeing another flying boat where Loli was directing many Divine Yin Hall disciples.
"Did you all understand? I don’t want the lives of those two, I want the Painting Saint Carving Knife!" Loli’s voice was sharp and loud, full of authority: "Whoever can bring me the Painting Saint Carving Knife, I’ll give them thirty-five million Nether Crystals!"
