Chapter 974: Chapter 971: Xu Wendong: I Am the Heavenly Dao Master
Luo Nanhua, recovering from shock, couldn’t help but say, "Good grandson, how did your strength become so terrifying?"
Xu Wendong hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Grandfather, if I told you I am the master of this Heavenly Dao, would you believe me?"
An expression of grievance appeared in Luo Nanhua’s eyes.
As if saying, do you think I’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey?
The other members of the Luo Family also felt that Xu Wendong was somewhat abnormal.
Because in their minds, the Heavenly Dao is merciless; unless one becomes a Saint who can transcend it, ordinary people are bound by it.
"Just kidding, just kidding!" Xu Wendong laughed awkwardly; knowing no one would believe him anyway, he didn’t bother explaining further.
He then said, "Grandfather, I’ll go to Si Shui County first to bring Uncle back. Only after he returns can we call it a true family reunion."
Before everyone could react, he soared into the sky, disappearing from their sight.
"Wait a second..." Luo Shusheng was shocked, "Wendong is supposed to be just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; how can he perform sword flight?"
Luo Nanhua murmured, "Perhaps he has trained in some rare Sword Control Technique."
"But compared to that, aren’t you curious how Wendong knew third brother is in Si Shui County?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone took a sharp breath.
Indeed!
No one ever told Xu Wendong about the whereabouts of Luo Shushi.
How did he know Luo Shushi was in Si Shui County?
------
Actually, Xu Wendong didn’t need to go to Si Shui County at all.
With just a thought, he could free Uncle Luo Shushi from his prison plight, and even have him appear right before the Luo Family.
However, doing so might frighten Grandfather’s family.
Moreover.
He still had old scores to settle with the Yanzhou Imperial Family.
That’s why he decided to personally go to Si Shui County to rescue him, as it’s only two hundred kilometers away from Yanzhou City.
Swish!
Xu Wendong bizarrely appeared above Si Shui County, the largest county city in Yanzhou, with a population of over five million.
"Who dares to be so bold as to fly above Si Shui County?" A soldier at the peak of the Golden Core Stage shouted angrily from the city wall.
Xu Wendong completely ignored him and instantly vanished into the void.
The pupils of the previously shouting soldier trembled sharply.
He knew.
That person must be a Nascent Soul Stage Expert.
After all.
Only Nascent Soul Stage Experts possess the Divine Skills of teleportation.
Without further thought, he took out a Communication Token and said, "Senior Tong Yue, a Nascent Soul Stage Expert just appeared outside the city. I don’t know if they are friend or foe."
As the largest county city in Yanzhou, Si Shui County was overseen by a Nascent Soul Stage Expert.
Upon receiving the communication, Tong Yue couldn’t help but frown, as he hadn’t sensed the presence of a Nascent Soul Stage Expert at all.
But just then.
He clearly sensed the grand array of the Sky Prison being breached.
This caused his expression to change abruptly.
Although the formation of Si Shui County’s Sky Prison was only Profound Rank Eighth Tier, it couldn’t be broken by a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.
At this moment.
He knew.
There must be a mysterious Nascent Soul Stage Expert infiltrating Si Shui County.
Without further thought.
He rushed towards the Sky Prison at the fastest speed possible.
On the other side.
Xu Wendong successfully entered the Sky Prison. Although there were many government officials and soldiers inside, none of them noticed Xu Wendong at all.
Even if Xu Wendong passed right before their eyes, they remained oblivious.
Indeed.
As the master of this world, Xu Wendong could decide whether they could see him or not.
After entering the Sky Prison, Xu Wendong found the bloodied and exhausted Luo Shushi.
He lay weakly on the ground, appearing on the verge of death.
With a thought.
The originally enervated Luo Shushi instantly regained vitality, and even his injuries were healed.
"What... what’s going on?" Luo Shushi, shocked, once thought he was hallucinating, unable to explain the changes in his body.
Xu Wendong cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Hey there, do you know who I am?"
It wasn’t until then.
Luo Shushi noticed a young man in a white brocade robe, imposing and extraordinary, standing outside the cell.
He suspiciously stared at Xu Wendong and couldn’t help but say, "Who are you? Why do you seem so familiar?"
Xu Wendong smiled and said, "My name is Xu, from the mundane world!"
Luo Shushi’s pupils trembled sharply, and he exclaimed, "Are you my nephew?"
He knew his younger sister had visited the mundane world and had a baby boy with a man named Xu.
So, when Xu Wendong mentioned his surname and origins, Luo Shushi instantly linked it to his nephew.
"Hello, uncle!" Xu Wendong grinned, "I never thought we’d meet here."
"Wait a minute..." Luo Shushi was thoroughly shocked, "How did you appear here?"
He really couldn’t understand how Xu Wendong managed to find this place.
Xu Wendong said, "I first went to Nanyang City and learned from Grandfather about Uncle’s plight, so I came here."
Luo Shushi looked full of regret, "I’ve brought trouble upon the Luo Clan!"
After a pause, he said, "Nephew, hurry back to Nanyang City and deliver a message to your grandfather for me. I will repay his kindness in my next life."
Xu Wendong broke the chains on the cell door and casually said, "Uncle, my purpose in coming here is to take you back to Nanyang City. If we are to leave, we’ll leave together!"
Luo Shushi let out a bitter laugh, "This is the Sky Prison of Si Shui County; the place is heavily guarded. We can’t escape."
There was one thing he didn’t say.
Even if they could escape, he wouldn’t flee.
Because if he ran, it would confirm his collusion with the remnants of the Demon Sect.
Even in death, he didn’t want to bear that crime.
Xu Wendong: "Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one can stop us."
"Aren’t you being too arrogant?"
With a cold voice, Tong Yue appeared behind Xu Wendong, dressed in a gray robe.
He showed no expression, emanating the aura of a Nascent Soul Stage Expert.
Xu Wendong glanced back at him, showing disdain, "Do you really think you, an old fossil, can stop me from leaving? I’m not underestimating you, but do you really have that ability?"
Luo Shushi beside him turned pale with fright, because he recognized the man as the Nascent Soul Stage Expert of Si Shui County.
This person’s strength was incredibly fearsome, even topping combat power across the entire Nine Provinces.
Who would have thought that his nephew would be so arrogant, not only rudely calling him an old fossil but also disregarding him?
A strong killing intent arose in Tong Yue’s heart: "Brat, I’ll show you the strength of a Nascent Soul Stage Expert!"
The next moment.
The aura of a Nascent Soul Stage Expert surged overwhelmingly towards Xu Wendong.
But Xu Wendong just stood there quietly; even as the momentum surged, it didn’t harm him at all.
Tong Yue slightly frowned, a trace of gravity in his eyes, "You’re not at Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level?"
