CHAPTER 939: CHAPTER 936: GETTING WHAT THEY DESERVE

"What is this?" Nalan Yanran asked, her face full of suspicion. She could sense that this token was not an ordinary item.

However, with her experience, she couldn’t identify what it was.

"It must be some treasure," Xu Wendong said with a smile, then bit his right index finger and let the blood drip onto the token.

The best way to test if an item is a treasure is to use a blood pact.

If the item is absorbed into the body, at the very least, it’s a magic artifact, or possibly a spiritual artifact.

Just as Xu Wendong expected.

The token was indeed at the level of a magic artifact, and as soon as the blood dripped onto it, it was instantly absorbed into his body, hovering above his sea of consciousness.

However.

A great power resided within the token, and even Xu Wendong couldn’t refine it in a short time.

At this moment.

A Space-Time Gate appeared in the air, signaling that the three-day period had ended, and the Outer Domain Battlefield would soon close.

Without thinking further, Xu Wendong and Nalan Yanran immediately took to the air.

In the next moment.

The two of them returned to the outside world.

At this time, cultivators from other factions were also returning one after another.

"What happened? Where are your clothes?" The Nascent Soul Stage Expert from Jizhou, Tang Yuanbin, was furious when he saw Bian Zhongxing and others returning naked and in disgrace.

During the first round, when the Heavenly Pride of Jizhou returned wearing animal skins, he already felt it was a huge disgrace. And now?

Even the three sect leaders were just in their panties. The scene was an eyesore, and he couldn’t accept it.

Bian Zhongxing, looking nervous, said, "We encountered a space-time rift on our way back, and our clothes were swallowed by it."

He didn’t dare to mention that they were robbed by Xu Wendong. If that were known, they would surely become the biggest laughingstock in the Nine Provinces.

After all, even though Xu Wendong was exceptionally talented, he was still just a junior.

This explanation seemed reasonable, and Tang Yuanbin didn’t think much more about it, curiously asking, "How did you fare this time?"

Bian Zhongxing’s heart trembled. We had a good haul, but things went south after encountering Xu Wendong.

Even though this was the case.

He still forced a smile and said, "Not bad, not bad."

They were already embarrassed enough and dared not mention the robbery by Xu Wendong.

At that moment.

Liang State cultivators, including Carefree Wanderer and his disciple Chu Ping, flew out weakly.

Seeing this, the face of the Nascent Soul Stage Expert from Liang State changed dramatically, and he immediately asked, "Why have only you two returned? Where are the people from the Five Poisons Cult and Divine Spear Gate?"

Everyone else also turned their gaze toward Carefree Wanderer and Chu Ping.

They all knew that while the Outer Domain Battlefield was dangerous, the casualties were usually not heavy.

But among the Liang State cultivators, the loss was severe.

This allowed Tang Yuanbin from Jizhou to breathe a sigh of relief. Although his subordinates returned in disgrace, at least they came back alive.

That, at least, was a blessing amidst misfortune.

"Senior, we were struck by meteoric iron in the Outer Domain Battlefield, suffering heavy casualties," Carefree Wanderer said with a face full of grief, "As for Sect Leader Bai, he unfortunately fell into a space-time rift."

At this point, Carefree Wanderer looked at Xu Wendong with a cold gaze and said, "Senior Liang You, Xu Wendong killed the Five Poisons Cult’s Yan Wu and three of his disciples."

"What?" The Nascent Soul Stage Expert named Liang You erupted in rage and looked directly at Xu Wendong, "Xu Wendong, did you kill my Liang State cultivators?"

Xu Wendong stepped forward, standing tall and proud, "The Five Poisons Cult harmed my sect and wounded my master Xu Canghai, even forcing me to hand over the Warm Jade. Was I wrong to kill them?"

"You’re courting death!"

Liang You roared in anger, striking his palm toward Xu Wendong.

The terrifying palm strike tore through the sky, exuding an overwhelming pressure.

At this moment.

Yuan Kui stepped forward, blocking in front of Xu Wendong, and with a casual wave, deflected Liang You’s attack. He said coldly, "What is this? Your Liang State cultivators are allowed to harm our Qingzhou cultivators, but our Qingzhou cultivators aren’t allowed to retaliate?"

Liang You glared fiercely, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Yuan Kui, is Qingzhou openly declaring war on my Liang State?"

Yuan Kui didn’t even bother to respond, instead bowing to Situ Shu, "Senior Situ, please uphold justice for us Qingzhou."

He never expected Xu Wendong would actually kill a sect hierarch-level figure.

But that wasn’t important.

What mattered was that they were in the right.

The Cultivation Realm may adhere to the law of the jungle, but sometimes it still observes reason.

Sitting cross-legged on a cushion, Situ Shu spoke, "The innocent should not be harmed, and the Five Poisons Cult deserved what they got. Xu Wendong is not guilty!"

Hearing Situ Shu’s judgment, Qingzhou’s cultivators all wore provocatively proud expressions.

Others, looking at Liang You, showed visible disdain. The rule of not harming the innocent was a known principle in the martial world.

They broke the rules first, so revenge was only natural and proper.

Except.

Nobody expected that Xu Wendong, a rising star, could actually kill someone of Yan Wu’s standing from a sect hierarch level.

His strength was far more terrifying than they had imagined!

Calling him the top young cultivator of the Nine Provinces was probably uncontested.

After all, battle prowess.

Is earned through victory.

Liang You sighed, "You’ve suffered heavy losses this time, but what about the gains?"

Carefree Wanderer forced a smile, "Not bad, not bad."

He couldn’t bring himself to mention the robbery by Xu Wendong.

As more and more disciples from various factions left the Outer Domain Battlefield, Situ Shu’s brows furrowed.

Because.

The Yanzhou cultivators had yet to return.

Apart from them, there were also the Jingzhou cultivators.

This left Situ Shu and the Nascent Soul Stage Expert from Jingzhou with a sense of foreboding, worried that something unfortunate had happened to them.

And at this point.

The faces of Yanzhou and Jingzhou cultivators were pale as they flew out listlessly.

"What happened to you?" Situ Shu asked, his expression serious and a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

After all, these were strong cultivators from Yanzhou, and given the situation was under their control, they were expected to maintain their composure regardless of any lack of gains.

Yet now, everyone appeared listless and dejected, which made Situ Shu feel it was a loss of face.

Huo Jiuyan spoke weakly, "Senior Situ, we were struck by lightning in the Outer Domain Battlefield."

The Nascent Soul Stage Expert from Jingzhou furrowed his brows deeply, "Are you sure it was just a lightning strike?"

A respectful answer came from a Golden Core Peak Expert, "It is absolutely true."

"I thought we had bad luck, but it seems yours is even worse!" Carefree Wanderer laughed gleefully.

However.

Seeing Situ Shu’s cold eyes, he quickly lowered his head.

Situ Shu asked again, "How did you fare?"

Huo Jiuyan managed a wry smile, "Not... not too bad."

What could he say?

He couldn’t very well say that all their opportunities were stolen by Yongzhou Cultivation World’s cultivators, could he?

If that got out, they would become the greatest laughingstock in the Nine Provinces.

But.

When Huo Jiuyan said it was not too bad, the Nascent Soul Stage Expert from Yangzhou, Geng Ye, raised an eyebrow, wearing an intriguing smile, "You from Yanzhou, Liang State, Jizhou, Jingzhou, all claim your gains are not bad. Doesn’t seem like your style!"

"Since when have you been so modest?"
