CHAPTER 934: CHAPTER 931: FORTUNE FALLS FROM THE SKY

Xu Wendong could clearly feel that Xu Canghai’s injuries were severe.

His injuries were not caused by poisoning.

Rather, he suffered from external wounds.

Therefore.

He deduced that someone must have attacked Xu Canghai.

"I’ll take responsibility for my own actions; it was I who struck Sect Leader Xu!" Yan Wu struggled to stand, his body resembling a beehive, with at least dozens of penetrating wounds.

It’s fortunate that he was a Golden Core Period Expert; a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would have already died.

Xu Wendong’s eyes revealed a cold killing intent: "You struck my master; cutting off both your arms shouldn’t be excessive, right?"

"You dare!" Yan Wu was furious: "If you dare to cut off my arms, when I leave this place, I will make sure you..."

Poof!

Before he finished speaking, Xu Wendong pointed across the space, and a streak of Sword Qi pierced through Yan Wu’s forehead, instantly shattering his Sea of Consciousness.

The Sea of Consciousness is the most fragile part of a cultivator; once damaged, at best one becomes an idiot, at worst the soul scatters on the spot.

"Master!"

Seeing Yan Wu killed, the three disciples of the Five Poisons Cult were red-eyed with rage, having lost their rationality. They bore their injuries and charged at Xu Wendong with their longswords.

"Seeking death!"

A flash of cold light appeared in Xu Wendong’s eyes.

With a casual wave of his hand, three drops of blood turned into three streaks of Sword Qi, piercing through the foreheads of the three disciples of the Five Poisons Cult, killing them instantly.

The sudden turn of events greatly shocked the Carefree Wanderer and Bai Jinliang; they had not expected Xu Wendong to be so decisive and ruthless.

He had even killed the Sect Hierarch of the Five Poisons Cult!

This was the first Sect Hierarch to die at the hands of Righteous Cultivators.

Xu Canghai, Xia Hou, and others all felt their scalps tingle, a chill running down their spines.

They knew Xu Wendong was ruthless and merciless.

Especially towards enemies, never showing mercy.

But they had not anticipated that this young man would instantly kill the Sect Hierarch of the Five Poisons Cult!

This was equivalent to openly declaring war on the cultivation realm of Liang State!

Xu Wendong looked at the crowd and smiled slightly: "The Five Poisons Cult harmed my master and poisoned my fellow disciples; it’s reasonable for me to kill them, right?"

The Carefree Wanderer quickly replied: "It is quite reasonable."

"What?" Xu Wendong immediately frowned: "Quite reasonable?"

The Carefree Wanderer’s heart trembled fiercely, clearly feeling a strong oppression from this young man before him despite his young age.

He immediately corrected himself: "Very reasonable, very reasonable!"

"Alright, with the score settled with the Five Poisons Cult, let’s deal with ours." Xu Wendong said: "I don’t like slaughter, but you threatened my master and fellow disciples, so we must settle this score properly!"

"I won’t bully you with power; if you hand over all the magic artifacts on you, I’ll let you go today."

Hearing this.

Everyone was furious.

You keep saying you don’t bully with power, yet you still force us to hand over all our magic artifacts; don’t you think you’re being excessive?

Despite their rage, neither the Carefree Wanderer nor Bai Jinliang dared to defy Xu Wendong’s words.

Because they knew this person was decisive and ruthless; if they didn’t comply, they might end up like Yan Wu.

And so.

Reluctantly, everyone handed over all their magic artifacts, yielding an astonishing result of forty-two artifacts combined.

This made Xu Wendong realize once again that artifact refining was far less easy than robbery!

"You may go!" Xu Wendong sat cross-legged, then began pinching the spell, as if recovering his cultivation level.

A moment later, he exhaled a turbid breath, feeling exhausted.

"Wendong, you shouldn’t have let them go." Xu Canghai said with a heavy heart: "Today you killed Yan Wu and three Heavenly Prides of the Five Poisons Cult. This act is tantamount to declaring war on the cultivation realm of Liang State; they will not let this go."

"If that’s the case, we should have been more decisive and killed the people from the other two sects."

Xia Hou hesitated for a moment and said: "Although Sect Leader Xu makes a lot of sense, I feel Wendong must have his own reasons!"

"Killing them would be a cheap way out." A subtle, intriguing smile appeared on Xu Wendong’s face.

He knew he should have eliminated witnesses.

The reason for sparing the Carefree Wanderer, Bai Jinliang, and others was to test the power of the Technique of Fate Seizing.

Yes.

He had previously seized the fate of everyone from the two sects for himself.

After their fortune was seized, misfortune began to dominate.

Unexpected events were bound to arise soon.

"Let me see if Yan Wu carried any antidote." Meng Hao immediately searched Yan Wu’s body and found a storage bag along with several jade vials, but no antidote.

Xu Canghai smiled bitterly: "Although the Five Poisons Cult is adept at poisoning, they never carry antidotes on them. This precaution ensures that if they do encounter an accident, they can’t be easily killed by someone else."

Everyone understood, realizing the caution of the Five Poisons Cult.

Xu Wendong said: "Rest for a while; I’ll refine Detoxification Pills for you!"

He had plenty of herbs in his storage bag, and refining a Detoxification Pill was as easy as a snap for him, posing no challenge at all.

Half an hour later.

A batch of Detoxification Pills was completed, and after taking a few, the group immediately felt a refreshing sensation spread through their souls.

The weakness and dizziness that had plagued them disappeared.

But at that moment.

A meteor streaked across the night sky.

It appeared splendid and captivating.

"Did any of you notice that this meteor seems to be heading right for us?" Lu Chenfeng stared at the night sky, dumbfounded.

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes.

Indeed.

The meteor was hurtling straight towards them.

As fast as lightning.

Whoosh!

As the meteor approached, everyone heard a piercing whooshing sound.

In the blink of an eye.

Xu Wendong decisively reached out towards the void.

The next second.

A fiery Night Pearl appeared in the palm of his hand.

Though only the size of a ping-pong ball, it emitted a crimson glow and noticeably increased the surrounding temperature.

"Fire Spirit Pearl?"

Xu Canghai’s voice was filled with shock: "No way, how could a Fire Spirit Pearl descend from the sky?"

Xia Hou was equally excited: "This is an Innate Spiritual Treasure! If someone practices fire element spells, it can be fused to greatly enhance combat power!"

Unlike magic artifacts or spiritual artifacts, which can be refined postnatally.

Only a rare treasure like the Fire Spirit Pearl in Xu Wendong’s hand is truly irreplaceable and unique.

This is a spiritual treasure nurtured by the heavens and the earth, exceedingly rare and precious.

Xu Canghai gazed dazedly at Xu Wendong: "Why... out of the twelve of us, did the Fire Spirit Pearl fall right into your hands? Your luck is just astonishing!"
