CHAPTER 932: CHAPTER 929: IMPOSSIBLE TO GUARD AGAINST

Hearing the voice from the Communication Token, Xu Wendong’s face changed drastically.

He knew.

Xu Canghai must have been captured alive; otherwise, the other party wouldn’t be using his Communication Token to converse with him.

Nalan Yanran’s expression was grave: "It’s the Carefree Wanderer from Liang State’s Biluo Sect."

Biluo Sect.

The largest sect in Liang State.

And Carefree Wanderer is the strongest in Liang State. Even within the Nine Provinces Cultivation Forces, his terrifying strength ranks in the top ten.

"How did they know you obtained the Warm Jade?" Nalan Yanran’s face was full of suspicion, then she suddenly exclaimed, "It was the Jizhou cultivators who spread the news of your obtaining the Warm Jade!"

"It’s that damn ’Borrow a Knife to Kill Someone’ trick again, they’ve really worn it out!" Xu Wendong was furious.

He never expected Jizhou cultivators would still be scheming.

Even more unexpected, Liang State cultivators actually captured a Qingzhou cultivator to threaten him.

Nalan Yanran quickly said, "Husband, don’t worry, I’ll dispatch a message to the Yongzhou cultivators right away, we’ll go together to rescue your master and the others."

"No need!" Xu Wendong replied, "They’ve captured a Qingzhou cultivator as bait, even if we go with tens of thousands, it won’t solve anything."

"Then what should we do?" Nalan Yanran was anxious: "Are you going to hand over the Warm Jade?"

A cold smile appeared on Xu Wendong’s face: "I’ll let the Liang State cultivators realize the true strength of Xu Wendong!" Saying that, he took out an ordinary piece of jade, infused it with True Qi, and crafted an Invisibility Talisman.

"Sister, you go and meet up with the Yongzhou cultivators first, I’ll go rescue my master and the others," Xu Wendong said to Nalan Yanran, then soared into the sky, stepping onto a Flying Sword, heading towards Jinding Cliff.

Actually.

He didn’t even know where Jinding Cliff was.

But he had the Communication Token, which not only allows communication but can also sense each other’s location.

As long as he followed the senses from it, he could find Xu Canghai and the others.

------

Jinding Cliff.

Xu Canghai, Xia Hou, Ning Yin, and eight Qingzhou Heavenly Prides were sitting cross-legged on the ground, their faces pallid, breaths chaotic, each poisoned.

Though not fatal.

But their strength was greatly reduced.

"The poison of the Five Poisons Sect is truly inevitable!" Xia Hou sighed softly, his eyes full of bitterness.

In his view.

Others being poisoned is understandable.

But.

Elixir Sect disciples being poisoned, that’s a disgrace.

Moreover, the Poison-Avoiding Pills they crafted couldn’t even neutralize the Five Poisons Sect’s poison.

Yan Wu, the Wudu Sect Master, showed an evil smile: "When it comes to Alchemy, no one can compare to your Elixir Sect."

"But when it comes to poisoning, who can match my Five Poisons Sect?"

Xu Canghai sat on the ground looking weary, glanced at the gray-robed elder in the distance, and said: "Carefree Wanderer, are you sure my disciple really obtained the Warm Jade?"

"You’ve never even seen him, how do you know he got the Warm Jade?"

Carefree Wanderer slowly opened his eyes: "Naturally, Bian Zhongxing informed this old man."

Xu Canghai smiled and said: "And you believed it?"

Carefree Wanderer: "He swore to the heavens, how could this old man not believe?"

Xu Canghai simply said: "Is it possible, that Bian Zhongxing wants to use you to eliminate my disciple?"

Meng Hao cursed: "Star Pavilion is indeed a den of snakes and rats. During the first round of assessments, Yun Feiyang used this tactic against us. Unexpectedly, his master now employs the same despicable tactics."

Others were also full of indignation.

Because the Star Pavilion’s tactics of ’Borrow a Knife to Kill Someone’ wasn’t the first time.

Adding that time in Shadow Valley, this is the third time.

"You don’t need to be that angry!" said Carefree Wanderer: "I only want that piece of Warm Jade, as long as Xu Wendong cooperates, I definitely won’t harm your lives."

Xia Hou snorted coldly: "Since ancient times, disaster should not involve friends and family. If you want the Warm Jade, you could snatch it, even kill Xu Wendong."

"But capturing us to threaten Xu Wendong, isn’t that tactic too disgraceful!"

"And you’re intensifying conflicts!"

The Divine Spear Gate Sect Leader Bai Jinliang scorned: "So what if conflicts are intensified? Do you think Qingzhou can compare with my Liang State?"

"Not even worth a puddle of water to reflect on your nature; if not for the Nine Provinces Alliance Treaty, Qingzhou’s Four Great Sects would have long been leveled."

Yan Wu crossed his arms: "There’s only Xu Wendong in Qingzhou, otherwise, you’d not even qualify to compete with us."

Though harsh, it was the truth.

If not for Xu Wendong, Qingzhou cultivators would have been eliminated long ago.

Xu Canghai appeared very calm: "You will pay dearly for the errors you’ve made!"

Boom!

Yan Wu blasted Xu Canghai with a palm, enraged: "Xu Canghai, do you think a mere youth can defeat us?"

"Are you questioning our strength?"

Xu Canghai spat blood profusely, yet the smile in his eyes didn’t fade: "No rush, you’ll soon regret today’s decision!"

To others, Xu Wendong might seem just a young talent with limitless potential.

But Xu Canghai knew.

Xu Wendong was not merely a young talent with limitless potential.

He was also a Heaven’s chosen one, with great fortune.

It was as if, besides not being able to bear and give birth, there was nothing in this world he couldn’t do.

Whether Alchemy.

Formation.

Artifact Refining.

Which of these wasn’t child’s play for him?

Moreover.

His self-created Water Droplet Sword Technique was exceptionally terrifying.

Not to mention, he also possessed a Spiritual Artifact.

"Do you know why I brought you to Jinding Cliff?" Carefree Wanderer asked with a half grin: "Did you really think, we didn’t understand Xu Wendong’s capabilities?"

"This place offers a broad view; we can prevent Xu Wendong from approaching secretly to rescue you."

"As soon as he dares to appear, we can capture him immediately."

"However, it seems unnecessary to go to such lengths."

"Because your lives are in our hands, as long as he cares about your fate, he certainly won’t dare to make rash moves!" With that, he laughed unrestrainedly.

In the next moment.

The Carefree Wanderer suddenly looked towards the south, a gleam of light flashing in his aged eyes: "I sensed Xu Wendong’s presence, a hundred miles to the south, currently approaching quickly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, they knew the Carefree Wanderer must have sensed the aura of Xu Wendong’s Communication Token, thus locking onto his position.

A moment later.

The Carefree Wanderer’s voice sounded again: "He seems to have stopped, halted fifty miles away."

No one doubted much, surely Xu Wendong coming to Jinding Cliff alone was out of wisdom and fear, it was logical to take a break mid-way.

Then about three minutes passed, and a thick fog rose unannounced around the previously clear-sighted Jinding Cliff.

The Carefree Wanderer’s face changed: "What’s happening? How could there be fog here?"

At this moment.

A thunderous roar came from the void: "Did none of you ever know that I can arrange Formations?"
