Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 2096: Journey to the Forbidden Zone
“Brother Xu, the place we’re heading to is a bit dangerous. Are you ready?”
Ying Youlu said with a smile, her eyes full of excitement.
A hundred miles outside Black Tiger City is considered a forbidden zone.
The reason that zone is forbidden is because of the presence of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, making it fearful to approach. Even masters of the Ghost-control Realm Seventh or Eighth Layer dare not intrude easily.
Over the years, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire must have become even more powerful.
The reason Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects are called such is because they can absorb the power between heaven and earth, thereby continuously strengthening themselves.
Even without cultivation, these Spiritual Objects possess incredibly strong power.
This naturally attracts many challengers.
Once these Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects are subdued, one’s strength will undoubtedly surge. However, if one were to fall unfortunately, it might cause the Spiritual Object to absorb the challenger’s power, strengthening the object further.
For many years, no one has successfully subdued that Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire.
Xu Wendong’s mouth curled upward.
Ying Youlu’s worries are a bit excessive. In the end, it’s not him who will absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, but the Nine Heavens Phoenix.
This Nine Heavens Phoenix is one of the Ten Great Netherworld Beasts; what spirit fire couldn’t it absorb?
From the Painting Saint’s words, the stronger the flame, the more it stimulates the Nine Heavens Phoenix’s growth, so the stronger the flame, the better.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
Xu Wendong patted Ying Youlu’s shoulder. Seeing Xu Wendong’s confidence, she didn’t say anything further.
Ying Youwei led the way up front, taking Xu Wendong directly there.
As soon as they left the city gates, countless spies in the city transmitted the news.
The Family Head of the Huang Family, Huang Biao, received the secret report from his subordinates, and his eyes lit up instantly.
“Boom!”
Huang Biao suddenly stood up, slammed a hand down, and the table beside him instantly turned to dust!
“Where are the elders?”
Huang Biao roared angrily, with three elders appearing beside him. They were the pillars of the Huang Family as well as the foundation that kept the Huang Family established in Black Tiger City.
“What instructions does the Family Head have?”
Each of these three elders has a cultivation level of Ghost-control Realm Third Level. This strength is quite impressive in the Heavenly Nether Domain.
And this is still just Black Tiger City.
If placed elsewhere, the Huang Family wouldn’t count for much, showing that the Heavenly Nether Domain is indeed quite weak.
It’s no wonder there’s no slightest resistance against the Da Yin Dynasty.
Xu Wendong’s choice to sever ties with the Heavenly Nether Sect was a correct one.
Otherwise, the whole Heavenly Nether Domain might be obliterated, unable to resist the Da Yin Dynasty’s army.
“The boy who severed my son’s arms has left the city. Follow me and let’s kill him!”
Huang Biao shouted, causing the three elders’ hearts to sink.
They frowned and said, “Family Head, that boy has the two Misses of the Ying Family escorting him, it’s not appropriate for us to make a move.”
“Although the Young Master’s arms were severed, the Ying Family’s two Misses standing beside him represent the Ying Family’s stance.”
“If we forcefully act, we may offend the Ying Family.”
The analysis of the three elders made Huang Biao furious.
“Humph, you’re just timid and fearful. Are you not going to avenge my son?” Huang Biao sneered, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re looking to establish someone else as the Young Master because my son is crippled, right?”
Seeing their thoughts exposed, the three elders turned pale.
“If you don’t kill that boy, I won’t let you succeed in your plans. Whoever helps me kill that boy will become the Young Master in the future!”
After saying this, Huang Biao directly left the Huang Family.
A trace of anticipation rose in the eyes of the three elders. Huang Biao was going for revenge with no regard for family interests, but he had promised that whoever killed Xu Wendong would become the Young Master.
These three elders naturally had no interest in being the Young Master, but they could recommend someone.
Then, recommending their own line’s disciples, no one would object.
Swish, swish—
The sound of the wind echoed, and the three elders all caught up with Huang Biao. Today, all of the Huang Family’s experts were mobilized to ensure Xu Wendong’s death.
Meanwhile, Zhuo Yang, responsible for inspecting people at the city gate, also noticed Xu Wendong leaving Black Tiger City with the Ying Sisters.
“General, the boy has left the city and brought Miss Ying with him.”
A soldier came to report.
Zhuo Yang slapped his hand in annoyance, his mind restless. “Do you need to tell me? Do I not have eyes?”
The soldier felt extremely wronged after the slap.
At this moment, Zhuo Yang coldly snorted. He said indifferently, “Dare to covet my woman? That boy must die today!”
“Gather the men immediately, come with me!”
“I will kill that boy outside the city.”
After Zhuo Yang finished speaking, the soldiers quickly mobilized, and soon more than thirty men were gathered, all heading in the direction Xu Wendong had left.
…
Xu Wendong and the Ying Sisters were still on the way, unaware that people behind them were pursuing them.
“Brother Xu, up ahead is the forbidden zone.”
Ying Youwei pointed ahead, where there was a large area of scorched earth. On the ground were only black marks left by burning. Anything that approached the scorched earth was driven away by a wave of intense heat.
This was the power left by the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire.
Anyone approaching the forbidden zone had to consider whether they feared this heat.
Xu Wendong’s eyes flashed, looking into the depths of the forbidden zone.
“Isn’t there supposed to be Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire here? Why can’t I see it?” Xu Wendong asked curiously, observing around without finding the presence of the spirit fire.
“Odd, the spirit fire should be here.” Ying Youlu scratched her head.
“Nevermind, let’s go in and have a look.” Xu Wendong said solemnly.
“Brother Xu, you cannot!”
Ying Youwei and Ying Youlu, the two sisters, quickly stopped him. If he went in, he might be instantly burned to ash by the terrifying heat.
“The temperature inside here is really high; anyone approaching could be burned alive.” Ying Youwei explained.
Seeing this, Xu Wendong indeed took out an elixir from his storage bag.
That elixir was one Xu Wendong had refined afterward, only of the Second Grade.
He threw the elixir into the scorched earth range.
Sure enough, a flame appeared instantly, burning the elixir into ash, emitting a medicinal aroma that quickly turned into a burnt smell.
“There’s definitely something strange.” Xu Wendong was stunned and said somewhat dazedly.
Such terrifying temperature, he couldn’t get close.
“Brother Xu, the flames here weaken every three shichen. We can wait and then enter.” Ying Youlu explained.
She hadn’t gone deep into the area, but she understood it a bit.
Xu Wendong nodded. Just as he was preparing to wait, a sound of breaking through the air came from behind.
“Hahaha, you dare come to the forbidden zone?”
“Since so, there’s no escape for you!”
A sinister voice rang out, and all four members of the Huang Family appeared!
