CHAPTER 735: CHAPTER 733, TRIUMPHAL RETURN

At 12:20 p.m., Xu Wendong and Qing Niao arrived at the Capital International Airport.

"It’s so good to be home!" Breathing in the familiar air of his homeland, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but exclaim.

The spiritual energy was unusually dense here.

Moreover, the men were handsome, and the women were beautiful, nothing that Wa Country could compare to.

After getting off the plane, the two of them got into a black Hongqi L5 sedan parked nearby.

"Oh, Uncle Long, you actually came. I’m truly overwhelmed!" Seeing Uncle Long sitting in the backseat, Xu Wendong jokingly remarked.

Uncle Long laughed and said, "You’ve made so many contributions to the country. It would only be proper for an old man like me to personally come to welcome you at the airport," as he instructed the driver to leave the airport.

"Do you know how many years you’ve set Wa Country’s economy back by during your visit?"

Xu Wendong shook his head.

Uncle Long held up three fingers and sighed, "Thirty years. Your trip to Wa Country set their economy back by over thirty years!"

Xu Wendong felt a sharp tremor in his heart, never expecting his journey to Wa Country would cause the Island Country’s economy to fall back by thirty years.

Uncle Long continued, "Not only has Wa Country’s economy fallen back thirty years, but their political world also suffered a major setback, and they certainly won’t recover in the short term."

A prospective senator and two senators had spent a large sum fighting for Yano Yamato’s body, only to be bankrupted by Xu Wendong.

This incident had a terrible impact on both the financial sector and politics.

Not to mention his act of setting fire to the Yasukuni Shrine and visiting the Tokyo National Museum.

Saying he trampled over Wa Country wouldn’t be too much.

------

An hour later.

Xu Wendong followed Uncle Long to the Forbidden City Museum, which was not open today, with only two elder men in their seventies waiting inside.

Upon entering the Forbidden City Museum, Xu Wendong focused his thoughts and released the artifacts he had brought back from the Tokyo National Museum.

Seeing those precious artifacts return to the motherland, the two curators were overwhelmed with tears of excitement.

Especially when seeing the Four-legged Bronze Square Cauldron, even Uncle Long marveled at the ancient craftsmen’s techniques.

After handing over the national treasures to the state, Xu Wendong left the Forbidden City Museum and took a car to his courtyard in Jingdu.

It was originally the ancestral home of the Wu Family, one of the eight major secular families of Jingdu, but since the Wu Family had offended Xu Wendong, he took over their mansion and even acquired fifty percent of their shares.

Back when Xu Wendong became the leader of The Outer Eight Sects, Meng Gu from the Orchid Sect even sent a group of young women from the Orchid Sect to serve Xu Wendong here.

However, he usually did not reside here, so Ye Qingxin had them reassigned to other positions.

Nevertheless, some women from the Orchid Sect still lived here, tending to the expansive estate.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

As Xu Wendong appeared, those women quickly greeted him, their eyes filled with admiration and adoration.

"Where’s Qingxin?" Xu Wendong curiously asked.

A tall woman dressed in a black form-fitting skirt, with a bright and charming smile, respectfully replied, "Miss Ye is recovering from an injury."

"Hmm?" Xu Wendong immediately frowned, as Ye Qingxin had already reached the Qi Refinement Realm, making her immensely powerful, and there was no one in the secular world who could harm her except for members of the Dragon Group.

But why was she injured?

Without further thought, he let his soul force envelop the entire estate, pinpointed Ye Qingxin’s location, and vanished from his original spot in an instant.

The next second, Xu Wendong appeared in an antique room, where Ye Qingxin lay, her face pale, on the bed, her aura weak and her meridians severely damaged.

Xu Wendong sat by the bed, tightly grasped her hand, and asked with concern, "How did you get hurt so badly? Who injured you?"

Seeing Xu Wendong appear, Ye Qingxin forced a smile, "Your third uncle, Xu Qinglin!"

"Xu Qinglin is back?" Xu Wendong’s eyes sparkled with a chilling cold light. He had thought his extermination of the Xu Family had left Xu Qinglin as the sole survivor, and it was said that he went towards the Kunlun Mountains, disappearing after that.

He had thought him dead, but clearly things were not as he imagined.

Weakly, Ye Qingxin said, "Three days ago, Xu Qinglin came here, trying to make me tell him your whereabouts. When I said I didn’t know, he attacked me."

"Don’t speak for now. I’ll help you heal your wounds." Xu Wendong said decisively, channeling his True Qi into Ye Qingxin, mending her damaged meridians, and noticeably improving her complexion.

Lying on the bed, Ye Qingxin asked with a playful smile, "How many Japanese women did you bed this time?"

Xu Wendong gave her a look, "Do I look like that kind of man who leaves a trail of affection everywhere?"

Ye Qingxin chuckled with an intriguing smile at the corner of her lips, "Your strength has increased quite a bit."

Xu Wendong was speechless.

Ye Qingxin knew he had been cultivating the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique, so her words were quite obvious. If he hadn’t bedded any Japanese women, his strength wouldn’t have increased so much.

He no longer feigned purity, replying somewhat embarrassedly, "Three!"

Ye Qingxin grinned and asked, "Were the Japanese women fun?"

"Each had her charm," Xu Wendong replied, "Enough kidding around, tell me about Xu Qinglin. Is he that strong?"

Xu Qinglin, after all, had been to the Kunlun Mountains and stayed there for many years, so Xu Wendong dared not take him lightly.

Ye Qingxin’s expression turned serious as well, "I don’t know Xu Qinglin’s cultivation level. I hadn’t the slightest chance to fight back in his presence."

"I estimate his cultivation level must be at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but as for what realm exactly, you’ll only find out when you encounter him."

Xu Wendong’s heart was uneasy.

Despite having the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique and alchemy skills, cultivating day and night, he had only reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Who would have thought Xu Qinglin, upon returning from the Kunlun Mountains, possessed Foundation Establishment cultivation as well?

The Kunlun Mountains indeed deserved its reputation as the foremost sacred mountain, and the opportunities there truly made one envious!

"If Xu Qinglin, an outsider, could attain Foundation Establishment cultivation, could the natives of the Kunlun Mountains Minor World have Golden Core Stage cultivation?"

Xu Wendong did not have an answer to this, but Xu Qinglin’s emergence offered him a chance to engage with the Kunlun Mountains.

Xu Wendong asked, "Do you know where Xu Qinglin resides now?"

"He’s at the Xu Family’s ancestral home," Ye Qingxin said, "He mentioned before, that if you return, you could find him at the ancestral home. He knows something about your mother’s whereabouts."

A cold gleam flashed in Xu Wendong’s eyes.

Even if Xu Qinglin knew his mother’s whereabouts, even if he knew nothing.

He still had to kill him to avenge his father!

After all, he had been complicit in the plot against his father back then!
