Chapter 975: Chapter 972: Are You Xu Wendong?
Luo Shushi stood there as if struck by lightning, stunned.
His eyes were filled with terror.
He never imagined, even in his dreams, that his nephew would be so terrifying, capable of resisting the aura of a Nascent Soul stage expert.
It gave him a tingling sensation, as if he were in a dream.
Xu Wendong smiled faintly, "Did I ever say I was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?"
Tong Yue was taken aback.
Indeed.
If he were a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, there was no way he could have stealthily entered the Sky Prison unnoticed.
Even a Golden Core Realm Cultivator wouldn’t have that ability.
Suddenly, as if realizing something, his face changed dramatically, and he said with a heavy gaze, "Ancient Sacred Body? You’re Xu Wendong?"
A Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, yet possessing a cultivation level not inferior to a Nascent Soul Stage expert—that instantly reminded him of the Ancient Sacred Body, reminding him of Xu Wendong.
Beside him, Luo Shushi felt a monstrous wave rising in his heart.
Perhaps ordinary people didn’t know what the Ancient Sacred Body signified.
But as a Fifth Grade official in the court, he certainly knew what the Ancient Sacred Body meant.
It meant he would lead an era.
Become a figure everyone would look up to with admiration.
He really couldn’t imagine it.
His own nephew possessed the legendary Ancient Sacred Body.
At this moment, Tong Yue let out a piercing scream, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, you can’t be Xu Wendong."
"The Nine Provinces’ experts besieged the Jade Maiden Palace, dispatching nine Nascent Soul Stage experts and over ten thousand Golden Core Realm cultivators. How could you have escaped unscathed?"
Xu Wendong smiled and asked, "Do you know what my presence here means?"
Tong Yue’s scalp tingled as he clenched his fists tightly, "You absolutely can’t be Xu Wendong!"
He knew.
If this person before him was truly Xu Wendong, it meant the Nine Provinces’ experts had already encountered misfortune; otherwise, Xu Wendong couldn’t possibly appear here.
Luo Shushi’s heart was already numb.
The fact that the Nine Provinces’ experts besieged his nephew, yet he managed to escape, was too absurd for him. He didn’t know whether to accept it or not.
"Today is a joyous day for me because I have found my roots."
"Therefore, I don’t wish for a massacre."
Xu Wendong said nonchalantly, "You can return to Yanzhou City and inform Tong Xianggu that tomorrow at noon, I will head to Yanzhou City to claim the heads of the entire Tong Clan!"
"Even if you truly are Xu Wendong, you shouldn’t address His Majesty by name." A murderous intent flashed in Tong Yue’s eyes.
In an instant.
A flying sword, like a bolt of lightning, slashed toward Xu Wendong.
"Scram!"
Xu Wendong stood there silently.
However.
The word "scram" boomed like thunder.
Instantly repelling Tong Yue’s flying sword; not only that, it also pierced through Tong Yue’s chest, splattering a mist of crimson blood!
"Could it be that you’re really him?" Tong Yue’s eyes were bloodshot, unable to believe that the person in front of him was Xu Wendong.
But aside from the Ancient Sacred Body,
what Foundation Establishment Cultivator could look down on a Nascent Soul Stage expert?
"Remember to convey my message to Tong Xianggu." Xu Wendong left these words and then disappeared with his uncle Luo Shushi into the darkness of the Sky Prison.
------
Nanyang City.
Luo Nanhua said with a heavy expression, "Don’t wait for Wendong, let’s quickly leave the Kunlun Mountains Minor World. I just don’t know if, after leaving, the Yanzhou Imperial Family will send people to the mundane world to capture us!"
He was full of worry, his face uneasy.
Even though Xu Wendong had previously slain a Golden Core Period Expert, he still didn’t believe he could save the second brother.
Therefore.
Their current task was to leave the Kunlun Mountains Minor World.
Even though they knew the second brother was wronged.
But in this world,
there was no place for ordinary people to appeal for justice!
Luo Shusheng also sighed, just as he was about to have his wife and children pack their belongings, he heard a swoosh, and then two familiar figures appeared in the eyes of the Luo Family.
"Am I seeing things?"
"Is this an illusion?"
Seeing Xu Wendong and Luo Shushi appear before them, everyone in the Luo Clan felt a tingling sensation in their scalps.
Because.
It couldn’t have been more than five minutes since Xu Wendong left the Luo Family, and who would have thought he’d return with his uncle already?
One must know, Nanyang City is hundreds of kilometers away from Si Shui County, and even a Golden Core Period Expert can’t reach there in such a short time.
Let alone bring him back.
The second brother was detained in the heavily guarded Sky Prison!
They were all bewildered.
They couldn’t comprehend what was really happening.
At this moment.
Luo Shushi gave himself a hard slap, and after confirming this wasn’t a dream, he nervously swallowed and said, "Father, Wendong possesses the rare Ancient Sacred Body, his power rivals that of a Nascent Soul Stage expert!"
"He saved me from the Sky Prison and even defeated Nascent Soul Stage expert Tong Yue."
Boom!
A few simple words.
Like a bolt out of the blue.
Made everyone feel their scalp tingle, a shiver running down their spines.
They couldn’t believe that Xu Wendong had the extraordinarily rare, legendary Ancient Sacred Body.
Not only that,
but he also repelled an imperial Nascent Soul Stage expert.
This was unbelievable for them.
Yet they couldn’t help but believe it.
Because the return of the second brother was the best evidence.
"It’s great that you’re back, really great!" Luo Nanhua said excitedly, "Since the second brother has returned, let’s all go live in the mundane world!"
Cousin Luo Lili was also full of joy, "Yes, let’s leave the Minor World before the Royal Family comes after us."
Xu Wendong said, "Grandfather, if you wish to live in the mundane world, I can take you there, but not now."
"If we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!" Luo Nanhua was anxious, "Even though you have the Ancient Sacred Body and defeated an imperial expert, do you think you can contend with the Yanzhou Royal Family?"
Luo Shushi spoke nervously, uttering words even he could scarcely believe, "Father, Wendong has arrangements with the Royal Family; by noon tomorrow, he’ll go to Yanzhou City to root out the entire Tong Clan."
Luo Nanhua’s pupils trembled; he looked incredulously at Xu Wendong, "Are you insane? Who gave you the nerve to challenge imperial authority?"
"Yes, I admit you have the Ancient Sacred Body, but you are ultimately alone, while the Royals have many Nascent Soul Stage experts."
"They have heritage accumulated over countless years, depths unimaginable to ordinary people. How can you possibly contend with them?"
"Wendong, don’t be offended by Grandfather’s words. Even if you are extraordinarily gifted and unmatched in history, you must not be arrogant. One must act within their means."
"If you are arrogantly reckless, even with the Ancient Sacred Body, it would bring your downfall!"
Xu Wendong smiled and said, "Grandfather, I know you’re concerned for me, but... I really don’t rate the Yanzhou Royal Family."
"Rest assured, your grandson won’t act recklessly."
"I promise, by tomorrow, the Yanzhou Royal Family will change hands. Would you be interested in becoming the Emperor of Yanzhou?"
