Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 1170: Chapter 1167: Welcome to My Formation

As Pei Yuanlang’s laughter rang out, whether it was Shen Congwen, Du Nanqiu, Qi Xuchun, Liu Zhengtong, or Wang Jincheng, all emitted loud laughter.

Without exception, everyone’s gaze towards Xu Wendong was filled with cold indifference and a playful intrigue.

Xu Wendong narrowed his eyes slightly, asking in bewilderment, ”Chief Pei, what do you mean by this? I don’t quite understand!”

Boom!

Shen Congwen struck Xu Wendong with a palm, sending him flying and rolling on the ground for dozens of circles, vomiting blood.

”You dare to attack an officer of the Imperial Court? Do you know that harming a court official will lead to the execution of the nine generations?” Xu Wendong stood up weakly, looking disheveled and pale, his eyes filled with endless anger.

Shen Congwen grinned viciously, ”Xu Wendong, do you still see yourself as the magistrate of Carefree City? This is the Inner Sea; in our eyes, you are like an ant, and with just a finger, I could crush you!”

”Xu Wendong, I want to kill you to avenge my grandson!” Qi Xuchun shouted angrily, charging forward with a longsword in hand.

”Get lost!” Xu Wendong shouted angrily, unleashing the County Seal, controlling it to blast towards Qi Xuchun.

Though the power of the County Seal had been weakened.

It was still a terrifying weapon, sending Qi Xuchun flying back hundreds of meters.

Xu Wendong angrily looked at Liu Zhengtong and Wang Jincheng, ”What are you two doing? Can’t you see these people want to harm an officer?”

Liu Zhengtong laughed softly, ”Sorry, Lord Xu, I am from the Shen Family.”

Wang Jincheng also said, ”I am from the Du Family.”

Xu Wendong said angrily, ”So, all those previous county magistrates died at your hands? From the moment I took office, you wanted to get rid of me, didn’t you?”

Du Nanqiu grinned, ”Correct, although Carefree City belongs to the Blackwater Kingdom, it has always been under the control of the Three Great Families.”

”Any county magistrate that appears here is either our dog or must die.”

”However, you, Xu Wendong, are different from those previous magistrates.”

”We went to great lengths to kill you.”

Xu Wendong weakly said, ”So, all your previous actions were to lull me into a false sense of security, to relax my vigilance, and follow you into the Inner Sea?”

Pei Yuanlang sneered, ”Why else?”

”Of course, we wanted to eliminate you without anyone knowing, but you refined the County Seal; within Carefree City’s sphere of influence, no one was a match for you!”

”If not, how the hell could you live until today?”

After a pause, Pei Yuanlang continued, ”And now, you are nothing but an ant in our eyes, an ant that can be crushed with a finger.”

”Impossible! This is impossible!” Xu Wendong was filled with disbelief, ”You supported my decisions so thoroughly, how could you want to kill me? I don’t believe it!”

He seemed crazy, fear filling his eyes.

”Actually, you didn’t have to die.” Shen Congwen’s eyes shone coldly, ”After all, you are very different from those previous magistrates, and we believe Carefree City could become increasingly prosperous under your leadership.”

”But you made two unforgivable mistakes.”

”First, you shouldn’t exploit us nobility; why should the money we earn be so heavily taxed by the government office?”

”And most importantly, you shouldn’t have killed Qi Pengfei. Slapping the faces of us noble families.”

”If you do not die, how can we establish ourselves in Carefree City?”

They wanted to kill Xu Wendong for these two reasons, and for either reason, they couldn’t let Xu Wendong live.

Shen Congwen continued, ”But, considering you arranged the teleportation array for us and set up so many spirit gathering arrays on the Western Sea, I can grant you the death you desire!”

”As a token of gratitude for your assistance!”

As he said this, he let out loud laughter again.

Xu Wendong wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, weakly sitting on a rock, unable to help but lament, ”I really didn’t expect things would turn out this way!”

”I came to Carefree City just to help it prosper.”

”Never thought of investigating the causes of those previous magistrates’ deaths.”

”Thank you for showing me the truth.”

Seeing Xu Wendong remain so calm, Du Nanqiu couldn’t help frowning, ”What are you trying to say?”

As they say, trouble often arises unexpectedly.

Xu Wendong’s calm demeanor gave him an ominous feeling.

Xu Wendong’s mouth curved upwards, revealing a smile that was intriguing, ”Did you ever wonder why I mentioned that the Inner Sea fish is tastier than the Outer Sea fish?”

Du Nanqiu looked grave, ”Wasn’t that just a casual remark?”

”Ha!” Xu Wendong chuckled softly, ”I am after all the Carefree City Magistrate. Don’t you think I know that after entering the Inner Sea, the power of the County Seal would disappear?”

”Don’t you think I know you want to eliminate me?”

Pei Yuanlang shouted angrily, ”Xu Wendong, what are you playing at?”

The atmosphere suddenly grew much more tense.

Even though Xu Wendong was alone.

But in everyone’s eyes, his harmless smile brought a feeling of unease and panic.

Because they suddenly realized one thing.

It seemed they had walked into a trap set by Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong calmly said, ”Actually, I didn’t plan to take action against you, as I said before, I came to Carefree City just to make money.”

”No matter how many horrible things you’ve done before, that’s all in the past.”

”All I want is for you to behave properly.”

”And nothing more.”

”But you want to take the life of an officer, so how could I sit and wait for death?” With that, he showed a spine-chilling smile.

Shen Congwen said coldly, ”Xu, even if you realized we want to kill you, so what?”

”Now that you’ve entered the Inner Sea, your cultivation level has reverted to its original state; how can you possibly be a match for so many of us?”

Du Nanqiu said sharply, ”That’s right, you in front of us are just like an ant, anyone among us could easily wipe you out.”

Xu Wendong shook his head with a smile, ”Even knowing you want to kill me, do you think I would sit idly by without making any preparations?”

”Did you forget it was my suggestion to rest on this island?”

Everyone frowned deeply, even if Xu Wendong suggested resting on this island, so what?

Just as everyone was coming to their senses, a beam of light surged from the island, imprisoning this realm.

Everyone felt a chill, not expecting such a powerful formation to be here.

At the same time, a loud, enthusiastic voice echoed through the heavens and earth: ”Welcome to my formation!”

”I have been waiting for a long time!”
