Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1979 - 1976: Let’s See Who Dares Make a Move

"Hahaha, quickly, take him down for me!" Lou An ordered with a sinister grin, directing the disciples of the Punishment Hall to take action.

The disciples of the Punishment Hall felt emboldened upon seeing Elder An Guang’s arrival, so they didn’t hesitate any longer.

They all raised their weapons, approaching Xu Wendong with eyes full of coldness and determination.

"I dare you to try!" Li Jiayin quickly stepped in front of Xu Wendong, clutching her Ice Crystal Long Sword tightly. The blade shimmered with a cold light, exuding a chilling aura.

Despite her petite figure, she seemed like an impregnable fortress at that moment, not allowing anyone to get close to Xu Wendong.

"Niece apprentice, I advise you not to resist any longer. This boy violated sect rules and deserves punishment."

Elder An Guang gently waved his hand, and an invisible wave of soul power surged towards Li Jiayin like an engulfing tide.

Li Jiayin felt an immense force hit her, causing her to involuntarily fly backward, almost stumbling to the ground.

But at this moment.

Qi Lechun suddenly blocked in front of Xu Wendong: "Today, no one will lay a hand on him, as I said!"

Several Nether Talismans floated from his body, their mysterious light seeming to conceal infinite power.

His hair stood on end, eyes burning with fierce anger, his entire presence like that of an enraged lion, ready to pounce at any moment.

He looked ready for battle, no doubt about it!

Even Elder An Guang was taken aback, his expression filled with surprise and confusion.

He just came to capture someone, yet Qi Lechun was making such a huge fuss over it?

Furthermore, Qi Lechun apparently had no dealings with Xu Wendong, and in fact, Xu Wendong seemed to offend Zhou Ran on Treasure Street earlier.

All things considered, Qi Lechun had no reason to treat him this way!

"Old Qi, have you gone mad?" Elder An Guang frowned, puzzled and angry.

In his view, Qi Lechun’s behavior was extremely out of character, unlike his usual self!

"He’s not even your disciple, why are you protecting him like this?"

"He’s certainly not my disciple; it’s more like I’m his disciple instead!" Qi Lechun retorted coldly, his tone self-deprecating yet filled with admiration and recognition for Xu Wendong.

Everyone present was stunned.

The disciples of the Punishment Hall were wide-eyed, unable to believe their ears.

This was one of the Eight Great Elders, claiming he’d be Xu Wendong’s disciple?

It was simply preposterous!

"You’re truly mad!" Elder An Guang snorted coldly.

"You’re the one who’s mad!" Qi Lechun took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

Then, he immediately transmitted a message to Elder An Guang: "He can inscribe Fourth Grade, even Fifth Grade Nether Talismans!"

"Do you not want that?"

Elder An Guang’s face was immediately filled with derisive mockery, internally laughing at Qi Lechun, thinking he must be crazy.

How could someone like Xu Wendong possibly inscribe Fourth and Fifth Grade Nether Talismans?

It was utterly absurd.

But gradually, Elder An Guang’s expression turned grim.

He realized Qi Lechun wasn’t joking at all, and instead, he seemed strangely serious, even with a trace of loss.

A sense of loss that even he, himself, couldn’t compare to Xu Wendong!

"Really?" Elder An Guang transmitted back, still filled with doubt but with a sliver of anticipation.

"Absolutely true!" Qi Lechun replied immediately, firmly and decisively.

Before Elder An Guang could respond, Lou An gave another command: "Capture him for me!"

The disciples of the Punishment Hall, receiving Lou An’s order, were eager to move to action.

However, before they could take a step, a shadow flashed past like lightning. Elder An Guang, with impressive speed, extended his hand to grab Lou An by the collar.

Then, with a powerful swing, Lou An’s previously solid frame flew through the air like a broken kite, drawing a sorry arc before crashing heavily to the ground.

The scene happened too suddenly.

Li Jiayin and Xu Wendong both couldn’t help but twitch their lips.

Xu Wendong’s previously tense nerves instantly relaxed, his face full of astonishment: "What the hell?"

He had been fully prepared for a great battle, even imagining scenarios in his mind of using Gold Chaos to slay his opponents.

He figured he might even take down an Elder with that powerful Nether Talisman.

Yet unexpectedly, Elder An Guang defected out of nowhere, the plot twist caught him completely off guard.

"Master... Master?" Lou An clambered up from the ground, disheveled, his clothes covered in dust, hair askew.

He looked at Elder An Guang in disbelief, his eyes wide as copper bells.

He couldn’t understand what was happening. After all, everything he did today was with Elder An Guang’s support.

From knowing about Liu Hao being beaten to planning the capture at Sect Master Peak, every step was discussed with Elder An Guang.

But now, what game was being played here?

Why would Elder An Guang suddenly turn against him?

"Don’t call me Master, I don’t have a disciple like you!" Elder An Guang raged, his face flushed, veins bulging on his forehead like twisted worms.

As one of the Eight Great Elders of the Heavenly Nether Sect, Elder An Guang’s strength ranking wasn’t particularly high, being at the bottom among the eight.

His power was only at Ghost Control Realm First Level, and the ghosts he controlled weren’t very strong, making his combat strength far inferior to other elders, unfit to contend with formidable enemies.

Thus, he often relied on other methods, like Nether Talismans, to compensate for his lack of strength in combat.

This reliance also explained his relatively good relationship with Qi Lechun, frequently asking Qi Lechun to inscribe Nether Talismans for protection.

Unfortunately, despite Qi Lechun being a Fourth Grade Nether Talisman Master, the talismans he could provide were limited in power.

For Elder An Guang, these talismans fell far short of his expectations, leaving him quite dissatisfied.

Yet, there was no other choice; after all, the most skilled talisman master available in the entire Heavenly Nether Sect was Qi Lechun.

"Master, weren’t we here to capture Lin Mo?" Lou An asked cautiously, eyes filled with grievance and innocence.

How could his master be so inconsistent, impossible to fathom?

"Who said we were here to capture Lin Mo? That was you, not me!" Elder An Guang roared in a rage: "I came today just to stop you!"

"You ungrateful wretch, do you realize the mistake you’ve made?"

Elder An Guang slapped Lou An across the face.

The slap was filled with anger, causing Lou An’s face to swell and bleed slightly from the corner of his mouth...

Lou An wanted to cry but had no tears, wondering why it was always him getting hurt?
