Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 2068: A Keepsake

Chapter 2068: Chapter 2065: A Keepsake

After coming out of the Nether Ruins, Xu Wendong used Dark Dragon Roaming Step to directly conceal his figure, then activated the Xuanming Concealment Skill and hid himself completely.

With these two techniques deployed, even that Imperial Elder from the Imperial Family couldn’t sense a thing.

Back then Xu Wendong had hidden behind Li Jiayin’s Shadow, and no one was able to discover him at all.

He followed all the way like that and finally returned to the Heavenly Nether Sect.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

This time Xu Wendong had laid out a grand scheme. He not only washed away the Heavenly Nether Sect’s guilt, he even took everything onto himself.

At the same time, probably no one would ever imagine that Xu Wendong would come back to the Heavenly Nether Sect.

“You brat, what on earth is going on!”

Li Lingtian’s face was filled with delight; he had felt something was off, and now it turned out Xu Wendong really was fine!

“Master, it’s a long story.”

Xu Wendong smiled and briefly recounted what had happened in the Nether Ruins—how he dealt with the various factions and how he obtained the Three-Life Stone Fragment and so on, describing everything like treasured anecdotes.

But when he mentioned Duan Yuan, Xu Wendong glanced at Li Lingtian’s expression.

Seeing that he was completely unconcerned, Xu Wendong finally let out a breath of relief.

“Master, this Disciple doesn’t wish to implicate the Heavenly Nether Sect, so next I’ll be leaving here. I’ll need to rely on the Sect’s protection for a few days, then I’ll depart.”

Xu Wendong said with a cupped-fist salute.

“So, you’re fine? Didn’t they say there was resentment in the Three-Life Stone? You’re not affected?” Li Lingtian asked excitedly.

“Of course I’m affected, but as long as I don’t touch the Three-Life Stone Fragment, I won’t be interfered with.” Xu Wendong explained at once.

“Dad, how did you notice something was wrong?”

Li Jiayin asked somewhat helplessly.

“Hmph, ever since you came out of the Nether Ruins you kept calling me ‘Master.’ That’s way too distant. You’ve never been that kind of person. That only proves you were very nervous, so I guessed you might be hiding some secret.”

Li Lingtian snorted, speaking with some pride.

It was precisely because he sensed something off that he came to question them, and he hadn’t expected to crash right into the truth.

“Sect Master, the matter of Lin Mo being here absolutely cannot be leaked.”

“Otherwise we’ll be in trouble.”

Zhao Ying’er hurriedly said; in truth she didn’t fully trust Li Lingtian.

After all, Xu Wendong possessed a Three-Life Stone Fragment. The lure of such a thing was far too great.

“Lin Mo is my Disciple. If I don’t protect him, who will?” Li Lingtian said, thumping his chest. He even hoped Xu Wendong could hide his identity and stay in the Heavenly Nether Sect.

The Heavenly Nether Sect certainly wasn’t unable to support one more person.

“Master…” Xu Wendong was somewhat moved. In fact, back when Li Lingtian had wanted to plead with the Imperial Family for him, he had already seen that this Master treated him fairly well, at least willing to take risks to protect him.

This also proved that Xu Wendong’s move had been the right one.

“Enough, don’t rush to leave. At the very least, wait until the storm blows over before going out!”

Li Lingtian spoke decisively. He had little interest in the Three-Life Stone Fragment—or rather, he knew he was not qualified to wield such a Supreme Treasure of the Netherworld.

Even the Da Yin Dynasty, in truth, did not have that qualification.

The power contained in the Three-Life Stone was too terrifying. Though the Da Yin Dynasty was strong, in the entire Netherworld it wasn’t much.

Now that Xu Wendong had obtained this item, he should make good use of it. Perhaps in the future he could even take the Heavenly Nether Sect soaring to the heavens.

“Master, I’ll leave tomorrow.”

“Staying here longer is one more degree of danger. I cannot drag down the Heavenly Nether Domain.”

Xu Wendong said firmly: “Besides, I already planned it long ago. I’m going to go out and temper myself. When I come back, the Da Yin Dynasty will no longer be able to do anything to me.”

Hearing this, Li Lingtian couldn’t help but be stunned.

He had long known that Xu Wendong was no pond fish.

Now that Xu Wendong had such ambition, of course he couldn’t stop him.

“You’ve decided?”

“I’ve decided!”

Looking at the fervent desire on Xu Wendong’s face, Li Lingtian could only give a helpless smile.

“You became my Disciple, yet I haven’t given you much of anything. How about this—when I was young, I also roamed the outside world, and once I accidentally obtained a map.”

“That map is said to be the map of the Heaven-Burning Forbidden Land. I can’t go there anymore, so I’ll give it to you.”

With that, Li Lingtian took a sheepskin scroll from his bosom.

“Heaven-Burning Forbidden Land? What kind of place is that?”

Xu Wendong was somewhat curious. He had no relevant memories of it; this was clearly not something the Nether City Lin Family could touch.

Even Zhao Ying’er was completely confused.

Seeing this, Li Jiayin began to explain at once.

“The Heaven-Burning Forbidden Land is where the Heaven-Burning Holy Land once stood. And the Heaven-Burning Holy Land was, in ancient times, one of the top powers in the Netherworld.”

“When the words ‘Heaven-Burning’ are spoken, the Nine Netherworlds weep.”

“But no matter how powerful the Heaven-Burning Forbidden Land was back then, in the end it was submerged in the long river of history. Countless people have wanted to find the Heaven-Burning Forbidden Land and inherit the legacy the Heaven-Burning Holy Land left behind there.”

“Unfortunately, so many years have passed, and no one has ever found it.”

After listening to this, Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up at once.

So this map pointed to a treasure trove!

“Master, giving me something this precious… isn’t that too much?” Xu Wendong laughed heartily and directly stowed the scroll away.

Li Lingtian cursed him, exasperated.

“You brat, don’t be happy too early. I’m not even sure if this Heaven-Burning Forbidden Land map is genuine, so you’ll have to judge that yourself.”

“In any case, once you’re out there, you must protect yourself properly.”

Li Lingtian gave a few words of advice, and Xu Wendong hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this moment, an urgent message came from within the Sect; it seemed the Eight Great Elders were gathering to discuss how to deal with the Fire Lotus Saint Sect and the Divine Yin Hall, so Li Lingtian had no choice but to rush over.

In the courtyard, only Xu Wendong and the two women were left.

Right then, Li Jiayin sighed. She looked at Xu Wendong and Zhao Ying’er, then walked out of the courtyard and closed the door.

During these days in the Nether Ruins, Xu Wendong had been accompanying Zhu Xuan and Li Jiayin the whole time, and had neglected Zhao Ying’er.

Now that Xu Wendong would leave tomorrow, Li Jiayin was leaving this time to Zhao Ying’er.

“Lin Mo, are you really leaving tomorrow?”

Zhao Ying’er’s eyes were red-rimmed; she hadn’t expected that after this trip to the Nether Ruins, they would be parting directly.

“Mm, I’m leaving tomorrow.” Xu Wendong nodded.

“Then what about me… and Senior Sister?” Zhao Ying’er’s eyes glistened with tears. She dearly wanted to stay with Xu Wendong forever, but now there was no such chance.

Because of the Three-Life Stone, Xu Wendong could only leave the Heavenly Nether Domain.

“I’ll come back. When I return, that will be when I marry you both.”

Xu Wendong said with a smile. In the Netherworld, three wives and four concubines were perfectly normal. Now that Li Jiayin and Zhao Ying’er were both his women, and they both knew of each other, they didn’t mind.

“Then… before you leave, can you give me something to remember you by?” Zhao Ying’er asked, her face flushing as she looked at Xu Wendong.
