Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

The Princess personally extended the invitation. If it were someone else, they would probably have been overwhelmed with excitement and agreed hurriedly.

However, Xu Wendong remained calm, with not a hint of wavering in his gaze, evidently unmoved by this ”honor.”

Seeing this, Zhu Chun’s anger flared up instantly.

He suddenly raised his sword, pointing it directly at Xu Wendong, and shouted angrily, ”Boy, don’t be ungrateful! Your Highness Princess has humbled herself to invite you, and you dare refuse? Do you really think you’re someone important?”

Xu Wendong coldly glanced at Zhu Chun, not bothering to respond to this buffoon, and instead turned to face Princess Zhu Xuan: ”What exactly is this treasure land you’re talking about?”

”The Nether Ruins are already an ancient battlefield, strewn with hidden dangers. How could a treasure suddenly appear here?”

”Inviting us to join, I’m afraid you have ulterior motives, don’t you?”

”Are you trying to use us as cannon fodder, exploring the way and dying for you?” Xu Wendong pierced through Zhu Xuan and others’ motives without mercy.

Most of the people with Zhu Xuan were elite disciples from various major powers of the Da Yin Dynasty, holding prestigious identities and formidable strength, naturally the ones Zhu Xuan focused on befriending and relying on.

Thus, when encountering danger upon entering the treasure land, how could Zhu Xuan allow these people to take risks?

In that light, using ”locals” from the Heavenly Nether Domain to explore the way became the logical choice.

In the eyes of Zhu Xuan and others, the people of the Heavenly Nether Domain were akin to ants, dispensable.

Despite being exposed directly by Xu Wendong, Zhu Xuan didn’t have even a hint of panic, maintaining a calm demeanor akin to a bottomless cold pond.

In her view, in this world of the Netherworld, strength is everything, and the strong ruling over others is naturally the way of things: ”In the Netherworld, strength is the only voice of authority.”

”Without strength, reason is useless.” Zhu Xuan spoke with cold indifference, her gaze revealing a touch of impatience: ”I’ll give you one last chance. If you still refuse, the people behind me will kill you first and then flatten the three Great Sects of the Heavenly Nether Domain.”

Zhu Xuan stood proudly, with a trace of disdain in her eyes, quietly staring at Xu Wendong.

These words hit like a heavy hammer on the hearts of Li Jiayin and Zhao Ying’er.

The two young women furrowed their brows, not expecting the Princess to be so domineering, ready to take lives and destroy sects over a disagreement.

”Lin Mo...” Zhao Ying’er called out helplessly, feeling that with their humble origins, they seemed bound to be manipulated.

”Junior Brother, let’s go.” Li Jiayin sighed helplessly as well. Although the Heavenly Nether Sect is considered a major force in the Heavenly Nether Domain, they are indeed tiny in comparison to the entire Da Yin Dynasty, powerless against the Imperial Family.

At this moment, when the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, Qian Wuming from the Nether Talisman Hall stepped in with a smile, smoothing things over: ”Your Highness Princess, please calm down.”

”The people from the Heavenly Nether Domain are also local prodigies, so some arrogance is inevitable.”

As he spoke, he turned to Xu Wendong, ”Boy, with Your Highness Princess personally inviting you, you should at least show some respect.”

”Moreover, we’ve already done preliminary explorations of that treasure land, and it’s filled with opportunities. You might even leap out of this little Heavenly Nether Domain and achieve great things.”

Qian Wuming’s eyes blazed, and he had a faint sense that Xu Wendong exuded a unique aura, perhaps hiding significant secrets.

Xu Wendong was filled with reluctance. He originally planned to capture a few people to help him dig the mountain, but the current situation was pressing, with the opponents numerous and strong, making a hard fight clearly unwise.

”Let’s hope that the treasure land is as magical as you say.” Xu Wendong responded coldly, temporarily compromising.

”Hmph, a few worthless beings, daring to put on airs in front of us. Let’s see you leading the way into danger later!” Zhu Chun scoffed, sneering disdainfully.

Those words were a fuse, immediately igniting Xu Wendong’s anger.

His eyes turned icy, soul power surged beneath his feet, and he performed the Dark Dragon Roaming Step, rushing forward like a black lightning bolt.

”Pa!” With a crisp sound, before anyone could react, Xu Wendong’s slap had already landed heavily on Zhu Chun’s face.

A prominent Tongyou Realm Eighth Layer expert, unexpectedly slapped by Xu Wendong in front of everyone!

The crowd was initially stunned, then revealed expressions of disbelief, their eyes collectively turning to Xu Wendong.

”You... you’re courting death!” Zhu Chun jumped with rage, his anger blazing furiously.

Having always looked down on Xu Wendong and now humiliated, he couldn’t possibly swallow his pride.

Instantly, he brandished his sword, crazily charging at Xu Wendong.

”Enough!” Zhu Xuan shouted sharply, her face full of displeasure.

Zhu Chun stopped as if under an immobilization spell, despite his heart burning with anger, he dared not defy the Princess’s command.

His vengeful gaze fixated on Xu Wendong, as if intent on devouring him alive.

”What I do is none of your business.” Xu Wendong fearlessly stared at Zhu Chun, speaking coldly: ”I joined you, not to be your subordinate, don’t think you can order me around.”

This scene made the members of the Imperial Family reveal a chilling intent to kill.

In their view, Xu Wendong was extremely arrogant, daring to act so insolently before them!

”Let’s move, the treasure land’s activation time is limited. If we delay further, it will be too late.” Zhu Xuan appeared anxious, not paying attention to Xu Wendong’s offense.

If it weren’t for the pressing time, given her temperament, she wouldn’t easily let Xu Wendong off.

Fifteen people quickly headed toward the destination.

The Nether Ruins were vast and boundless, with undulating mountains and expansive plains.

The treasure land that Zhu Xuan and others mentioned was located within a valley.

There was only a narrow passage in the valley, with a barrier hidden at the entrance, and a formation placed before it.

This formation required fifteen people standing simultaneously on specific eye points in order to activate.

Xu Wendong immediately saw through Zhu Xuan’s intention to recruit them.

The formation’s light was dim and about to dissipate. Once it dissipated, it would be impossible to enter.

The Nether Ruins were so vast that it would be challenging to find suitable people again in a short period, and time didn’t allow further delays.

”Stand on it, only through this formation can we enter the valley.” Zhu Xuan instructed the group.

The crowd stood on the eye points one by one, and instantly, a flash of blue light, accompanied by strong soul power, enveloped the fifteen people and swiftly transported them into the valley.

When Xu Wendong opened his eyes again, he found himself in a grand hall surrounded by flames.

Cold winds whistled around, crashing like turbulent tides.

”Yes, this is it! This is the Divine Fire Hall we’ve located!” Zhu Chun exclaimed excitedly, his face flushed, and the members of the Imperial Family were also filled with joy.

Zhu Xuan held an Eight Diagrams Plate, her expression focused as she scanned the surroundings. Other disciples from various forces closely followed Zhu Xuan.

Xu Wendong and his companions cautiously surveyed the area, apart from sensing the unusually dense Yin Energy here, there seemed to be nothing special.

This grand hall was majestic, with avenues flanked by eight giant statues fifteen meters tall.

These statues held weapons, fierce and imposing, as if guarding this mysterious land.

”Divine Fire Hall, a once powerful force, they must have hidden a Seventh-grade Treasure!” Zhu Xuan took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes shining with excitement.

This time entering the Nether Ruins, she was determined to succeed; only by obtaining a Seventh-grade Treasure could she avoid being sent off for an arranged marriage.

”Let’s go inside and see!” Zhu Chun laughed heartily, taking the lead to step forward.

However, just as he stepped on a stone plate.

The eyes of sixteen giant statues suddenly lit up with a mysterious blue light...
