Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

”It’s too late to regret now!” Xu Wendong snorted coldly.

His axe swung with a fierce wind, and every strike brought a rain of blood.

The disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect fell like grass being cut, the dead mounting in numbers, and the smell of blood grew increasingly pungent, blanketing the area like a thick fog.

Within half an incense stick’s time, all the Heavenly Nether Sect disciples who followed the Liu family lay dead.

Xu Wendong was drenched in blood, resembling a Blood Demon God, malice still flickering in his eyes, his clothes soaked with blood clinging tightly to his body.

Zhao Ying’er was the same; her proud chest rose and fell with intense breaths, clearly having expended much energy in this battle.

Her hair was messy, strands stuck to her sweat-soaked cheeks, yet her eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction and contentment.

”Lin Mo, having killed these people, it won’t be easy to explain when we return,” Zhao Ying’er frowned slightly, a trace of worry flickering in her eyes.

Though these people harbored ill intentions towards them first, they were still Heavenly Nether Sect disciples.

Now having slaughtered them completely, if a sect elder wanted to trouble Xu Wendong, it wouldn’t be easy to explain.

”No worries, killing is killing,” Xu Wendong’s expression was indifferent, with no ripple of emotion in his tone.

He didn’t care about others’ opinions; if anyone in the Heavenly Nether Sect wanted to exploit this matter, he wouldn’t hesitate to swing his axe again.

In any case, his purpose in coming to the Netherworld was never to join any power; in the end, he was just searching for the Three-Life Stone.

Seeing Xu Wendong so resolute, Zhao Ying’er withheld further words.

The two tidied up briefly and then left the Abyss, heading directly towards the Heavenly Nether Sect.

After three days, they finally returned to the Heavenly Nether Sect.

Zhao Ying’er led Xu Wendong straight to the Deacon Hall.

At the same time, the entire Heavenly Nether Sect seemed to carry a peculiar atmosphere, as if shrouded by oppressive clouds.

Upon arriving at the Deacon Hall, Xu Wendong found many people gathered there, including two of the Eight Great Elders.

Among them, Xu Wendong recognized one, Elder Xuanlu, Huang Huntuo’s master.

”Hey? The ones who went to Ancient Town are back!” A sharp-eyed disciple first noticed Xu Wendong and Zhao Ying’er, exclaiming in surprise.

Instantly, everyone’s gaze zeroed in on them, like spotlights focusing intensely on the duo.

Zhao Ying’er’s heart skipped a beat, instinctively hiding behind Xu Wendong, watching the scene unfold with trepidation.

Just then, Li Jiayin was also present, frowning delicately, a flash of urgency in her beautiful eyes.

She immediately approached, grabbing Xu Wendong, attempting to lead him away.

”Say nothing, just come with me now,” Li Jiayin’s tone was firm, undeniable, carrying a thread of urgency and seriousness.

But at that moment, Elder Xuanlu called out to them.

”Why leave right after returning?” Elder Xuanlu’s tone was icy, his gaze sharp as an eagle staring at Xu Wendong, shouting, ”My Heavenly Nether Sect lost many disciples in the Ancient Town Abyss, you were there too, tell me what truly happened.”

At this moment, Xu Wendong instantly understood what was going on.

Every Heavenly Nether Sect disciple had to leave their Soul Lamp in the Disciple Hall; should they die, the lamp would extinguish.

A few days ago, several disciples’ Soul Lamps suddenly went out, prompting the Heavenly Nether Sect to take notice.

Although the sect had thousands of disciples, losing a few wouldn’t matter, yet a sudden and large loss of disciples indeed turned into a significant issue, thus drawing two elders to investigate.

They found these disciples dead in Ancient Town, thus narrowing down to Xu Wendong and Zhao Ying’er who had gone there.

”My Sect Master Peak’s disciples were tasked to investigate the Nether Crystal Vein’s plundering at Ancient Town, a mission issued by the Deacon Hall, business as usual, no need to explain to Elder Xuanlu, right?”

Li Jiayin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in her tone.

Her protective nature was vividly apparent, surprising Xu Wendong.

It seemed this senior sister indeed had courage, stepping up without hesitation to defend her fellow disciples.

Elder Xuanlu was rendered speechless; Sect Master Peak disciples indeed had special status, even a long-standing elder like him couldn’t easily criticize.

But another elder stepped forward.

”Regardless, if they saw those disciples or knew how they died, any information could help us trace clues.”

This elder’s gaze was bright; his tone was calm yet imperious: ”Li, you’d better not obstruct.”

Upon hearing this, a trace of intrigue appeared on Elder Xuanlu’s face.

Just as Li Jiayin was about to speak, Xu Wendong chimed in directly, ”Are you talking about those disciples from the Punishment Hall?”

He knew that paper couldn’t hide fire; if the Heavenly Nether Sect wanted to investigate, they’d inevitably find some traces.

Moreover, he hadn’t intended to conceal the matter.

”If it’s the Punishment Hall people, then I killed them all,” Xu Wendong’s tone was resolute, admitting directly.

Upon his statement, everyone present froze.

The two elders stood dumbfounded, faces molded with shock.

No one expected Xu Wendong would admit it so straightforwardly.

Li Jiayin stomped in frustration, her eyes wide as she looked at Xu Wendong, filled with helplessness and urgency.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wendong was involved in this matter, but even if he was, shouldn’t have said it directly!

Considering the severity of this matter, once involved, it would be challenging to escape accountability.

Even the Sect Master Peak would find it hard to shelter him.

”You brat, you dare admit it!” Elder Xuanlu’s eyes flashed greedily.

He had always coveted Xu Wendong’s Fifth Grade Divine Power; now seeing Xu Wendong confessing, he planned to extort, gaining benefits from him.

”What’s so hard to admit?” Xu Wendong shrugged, appearing calm, as if discussing something perfectly ordinary.

His composure stunned all the disciples present.

Killing so many from the Punishment Hall and still acting so rightfully, was this a challenge against the entire Heavenly Nether Sect’s authority?

”Bold!” A thunderous sound roared, akin to a bolt from a clear sky.

The other elder scowled, his entire being shrouded with intense Yin Energy, resembling a volcano on the verge of eruption.

His murderous intent was boundless, substantively pressing towards Xu Wendong.

”You dare kill my Punishment Hall disciples; I don’t care what they did, you must pay!” The elder was Elder Xingtian, overseeing the Punishment Hall, and the disciples were under him.

Faced with this, he was seething with fury.

”Oh? No matter what they did? What if they betrayed the sect?” Xu Wendong’s lips curled into a sly smile.

”What did you say?” Li Jiayin’s eyes widened in shock.

Everyone’s expressions shifted to disbelief; who would’ve thought the Punishment Hall’s disciples would betray the sect!
