CHAPTER 925: CHAPTER 922: GUILT FROM THE BEAUTIFUL ELDER SISTER

Wan Jie curled his lips, "What’s there to be concerned about?"

Xu Wendong couldn’t be bothered to respond, leaving Nalan Yanran’s residence with weakened steps.

Meanwhile.

Wan Jie carefully entered his mother’s room and saw her behind the screen, dressing.

Seeing this, his heart settled down.

At this moment.

Nalan Yanran’s cold voice sounded, "Jie’er, remember, stay away from that sanctimonious Xu Wendong in the future!"

Wan Jie shuddered, as it had been a long time since he saw his mother angry.

The next second.

His heart jolted, and he whispered, "Mother, why do you want me to stay away from him? Is it because of what happened before?"

Nalan Yanran gave a heavy snort, "Isn’t that enough?"

"Mother, it’s a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding!" Wan Jie said anxiously, quickly explaining for Xu Wendong, "Things aren’t as you imagine."

"It’s a long story."

"To make it short, I begged Xu Wendong to save you, because your Divine Soul was injured, and you were hanging by a thread."

"Desperately, I came up with this plan."

"If mother wants to blame someone, blame me, just don’t blame Uncle." Saying that, he knelt on the ground, lowering his head like a child who had done wrong.

Nalan Yanran stood there stunned, not expecting the situation to be so complicated.

All she remembered was falling into a coma.

She knew nothing of the events that followed.

She thought it was just a coma, but didn’t expect her situation to be that perilous!

Thinking about the slap she gave Xu Wendong earlier, her heart suddenly felt a piercing pain!

Xu Wendong clearly saved her.

Yet she, without understanding the situation, not only slapped him but also insulted him.

A strong sense of guilt swept over her.

At that moment.

Nalan Yanran felt an almost suffocating illusion.

She sighed lightly, feeling weary, "Go out, I want some peace."

Wan Jie asked nervously, "Mother, you’re not blaming me anymore?"

Nalan Yanran forced a smile, "You were thinking of me, how could I blame you?"

Though in a coma, Xu Wendong came into her vicinity.

But.

Their intentions were to save her!

Nalan Yanran wanted to apologize to Xu Wendong in person, but she didn’t know how to face him.

Because her previous unjust scolding made her feel so over the line.

------

The next day.

When Xu Wendong woke up naturally, he felt full of energy, and the dizziness had vanished without a trace.

Of course.

All of this was thanks to his dual cultivation with Bai Jie, Zhongli, Zhu Qing, and Jian You.

Though dual cultivation with them couldn’t enhance his Cultivation Level, recovering from injuries was not difficult.

Awakening from sleep was followed by strolls and eating.

The five of them lived like ordinary people.

Enjoying a simple yet warm life.

The city was buzzing with stories about him.

Apparently, the people of Yanzhou City had heard about his breaking the Demon Sect Formation, saving others, and his heroic exploits.

Despite his fame.

Xu Wendong didn’t like it.

Yes, rather than standing out, he preferred to keep a low profile.

Even though he had killed many Demon Sect Heretics in Shadow Valley before, he had a premonition that Demon Sect Heretics still existed in some corner of the Nine Provinces, and couldn’t be completely eradicated.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

All Nine Provinces Cultivators gathered together, waiting for the final – Reward Session.

However.

Only Nalan Yanran looked unwell, she kept her head down, not daring to look at Xu Wendong.

Situ Shu donned a gray-white robe, his silver hair vibrant, exuding an ethereal air.

He looked at the excited faces below, saying, "The Outer Domain Battlefield opens once every ten years, each time for only three days. According to prior performance, the Qingzhou Heavenly Pride will enter first."

"Two shichen later, the Yanzhou Heavenly Pride will follow, then the Jingzhou Heavenly Pride."

"The Heavenly Prides of the remaining six forces will enter after six shichen."

"The Outer Domain Battlefield needs no further explanation from me. What opportunities you can gain depends on your fortune!"

With that, his hands formed the pinching spell, and a black, incomplete Jade Token rose into the air.

At the same time.

The Nascent Soul Stage Experts from the Eight States each released a Jade Token, piecing together a jade disc shaped like the Eight Trigrams.

This was the key to opening the Outer Domain Battlefield.

The nine keys were controlled separately by the Nine Provinces Imperial Family, and without representatives from them, no force could open the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Once the Eight Trigrams jade disc was assembled, the nine Nascent Soul Stage Experts simultaneously pinched the spell, activating the jade disc.

In an instant.

A rift in time and space appeared in the void, revealing a crimson sky inside along with a dense Spiritual Energy.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly seek your fortune!" Yuan Kui looked at the crowd, his eyes full of pride.

For no reason.

The Qingzhou Disciples had never had the chance to enter before.

But this time.

They were the first to enter.

This was a great honor!

"Go!"

Xu Canghai soared into the sky, leading the Nine Provinces Cultivators into it.

Due to the unpredictable dangers of the Outer Domain Battlefield, each opening required senior experts to lead.

In an instant.

The people of the Three Great Sects followed Xu Canghai inside.

Upon entering, everyone felt an abundance of Spiritual energy hitting their faces, so dense it seemed like it would condense into liquid at any moment.

"Master, what is the origin of the Outer Domain Battlefield?" Xu Wendong asked out of curiosity.

Xu Canghai smiled and asked, "Do you know why the ground’s soil is red?"

Xu Wendong looked down, the ground was covered in dark red soil, as if stained with blood.

He hesitated, unable to stop from saying, "Could it be stained by blood?"

"Correct." Xia Hou explained, "Legend has it that the end of the Outer Domain Battlefield leads to the Cultivation World, a world of countless strong cultivators."

"Over five thousand years ago, those Other Races came through the void, attempting to conquer Earth, but they were fiercely resisted by Earth’s ancestors, successfully holding them off."

"Although it’s not recorded in the history books, this land chronicles past events."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Xu Wendong interrupted, his face incredulous, "Huaxia civilization is only about five thousand years old, so how were there Other Races attacking Earth over five thousand years ago?"

Xia Hou shook his head with a smile, "Do you truly think Huaxia civilization is just five thousand years old?"

Xu Wendong felt a bit befuddled.

For Huaxia civilization was indeed five thousand years old.

But now it seemed.

Things were not as simple as he imagined.

Xia Hou continued, "Someone with great power altered Earth’s civilization, trying to better protect Earth through this means, or else Earth would surely be exposed to the Other Races."

Xu Wendong could not calm his heart for a long time.

For the first time, he felt.

His home on Earth was so unfamiliar!
