CHAPTER 1267: CHAPTER 1267: WRATH SOARING TO THE HEAVENS

Chen Wudi took ’Wang Long’ to his residence, evidently having come alone.

As for why, it was probably to seek revenge against Lin Hao.

Xu Nian frowned slightly, feeling a bit of pity for Chen Wudi.

Back on Tianlan Star, Chen Wudi had helped him quite a bit.

Back then, Chen Wudi was lively and cheerful, nothing like the silent and reserved man he was now.

It was clear that the deaths of his Master and wife were a huge blow to him.

And now, he most likely had no other options, which was why he confided in an outsider.

"No matter what, I have to help him," Xu Nian whispered to himself.

"What exactly happened? Tell me. If I can help you, I will," Xu Nian said to Chen Wudi.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to reveal his true self, but being in Emperor City, with powerful Immortal Consciousness scanning everywhere, it was easy to expose his identity.

"Sigh, Brother Wang Long, this matter really has nothing to do with you, and I don’t want to involve you. I originally wanted to find my Brother Xu Nian to help me take revenge, but I didn’t want to bring harm to him," Chen Wudi sighed.

Xu Nian remained silent, feeling somewhat sorrowful inside.

Chen Wudi’s tone was definitely not like this in the past.

Is this still the Chen Wudi who once called himself invincible?

"Perhaps he’s in seclusion and doesn’t know your situation. If he knew, he definitely wouldn’t ignore his brother’s trouble," Xu Nian explained.

"Perhaps, but I really don’t want to drag him into this, because once Lin Hao is killed, it would mean offending the entire Haotian Sect," Chen Wudi said helplessly.

"What exactly happened?" Xu Nian asked, frowning.

A trace of sorrow flashed in Chen Wudi’s eyes as he began to speak: "I left my original planet with my Master and began wandering for cultivation. In the beginning, my strength improved rapidly, and my Master valued me highly, which made me very happy. Later, I met my wife Bai Xin, who was gentle and kind. We quickly fell in love, and she accompanied me on my travels."

Saying this, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on Chen Wudi’s lips.

But soon, that smile transformed into a surge of anger.

"When we passed through the Tianlong Star System, we encountered Lin Hao. Lin Hao wanted to seize my wife and make her his slave. Naturally, my wife refused. Unexpectedly, Lin Hao was overbearing and wanted to forcefully take her. My Master fought him to protect Bai Xin and me, but was brutally killed by Lin Hao’s sword. Later, Bai Xin, not wanting to burden me, took her own life, and I was cast into the Bone-anchored Land by Lin Hao," Chen Wudi said, clenching his fists, his gaze furious.

"Bone-anchored Land?" Xu Nian was slightly surprised.

He knew of this place; it was a lethal environment.

Within this land roamed terrifying demon beast insects.

Any cultivator who ventured there would not leave even their bones behind.

"How did you survive?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"I originally thought I was dead too, but it turns out I was lucky. I had once swallowed an Octagonal Water Lily, which those insects feared, so they didn’t eat me. However, for me, living seemed worse than dying," Chen Wudi said painfully.

Xu Nian furrowed his brow tightly.

He never expected Lin Hao to be so rampant, killing not only Chen Wudi’s Master but also driving his wife to suicide, and nearly killing Chen Wudi in the end.

This brought a surge of intense killing intent to Xu Nian’s heart.

"This Lin Hao deserves to die!" Xu Nian roared, as an aura of murderous intent burst from him.

"Brother Wang Long, please don’t. Lin Hao has Haotian Sect behind him. If you act, Haotian Sect won’t spare you, and Emperor City forbids fighting. I’m telling you this just to express my frustration, not honestly hoping you’ll avenge me. I don’t want anyone else to die because of me," Chen Wudi hurriedly advised.

He worried that Brother Wang Long, in a moment of impulse, would go and kill Lin Hao.

If that happened, Brother Wang Long wouldn’t survive either, and then Chen Wudi would bear a heavy burden of guilt.

Wang Long fell into deep thought, but soon, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Let’s go; I’ll take you to see Lin Hao," Xu Nian said to Chen Wudi.

"Uh, no, that would get you involved. It’s okay if I die, but I can’t drag you into it," Chen Wudi quickly said.

Xu Nian, however, waved his hand and, pulling Chen Wudi along, sped toward the Haotian Sect’s residence.

Before long, Xu Nian and his companions appeared in the skies above the Haotian Sect’s residence.

"Lin Hao, get out here!"

Xu Nian immediately shouted.

The shout resounded through the sky.

Instantly, it startled the surroundings.

Everyone emerged in surprise, looking up at Xu Nian and Chen Wudi in the sky.

"Uh, isn’t that Wang Long? What is he doing looking for Lin Hao?"

"Judging by his furious appearance, could he have a grudge against Lin Hao?"

"Even if he has a grudge, what can he do? Performing a kill within Emperor City? Isn’t he afraid the Emperor Chamber of Commerce will annihilate him for that?"

...

A flurry of whispers arose around them.

Everyone thought Wang Long’s actions were rather reckless.

Even if justified, they feared he might not achieve justice in the end.

"We should just leave!" Even Chen Wudi was shocked by Wang Long’s sudden move.

He hadn’t expected Wang Long to act so suddenly.

Causing such a commotion, would the Emperor Chamber of Commerce let him off easily?

However, ’Wang Long’ seemed indifferent, turning to Chen Wudi and saying, "If you want revenge, have no fear. No matter what happens today, at worst we die, but we must seek justice for your Master and wife."

Chen Wudi was taken aback, then a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

To him, if even an outsider could have such courage, how could he, bearing such hatred, retreat?

"Alright, today, even if it costs me my life, I, Chen Wudi, will avenge my Master and Bai Xin!" Chen Wudi said assertively.

Upon seeing this, Xu Nian couldn’t help but smile slightly.

This was the Chen Wudi he knew.

Bold, and daring to act.

"Lin Hao, get out here!" Xu Nian shouted once more.

This time, the entire palace trembled.

Finally, two figures emerged from the palace, with one leisurely saying, "Who’s shouting out here? Don’t you know I’m trying to sleep?"

After speaking, he looked up at the sky, registering a flash of surprise, followed by a mocking smile.

"So, it’s you, Wang Long. We have no grievances between us, yet you publicly call out for me. What’s the meaning of this?" Lin Hao asked.

He showed no trace of fear toward Wang Long.

Beside him stood another young man.

This person appeared even more imposing, with sharp eyes showing disdain as he glanced at Wang Long.

Indeed, this was Jiang Sing, the foremost figure of the Haotian Sect.
