Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1170: This Is No Ordinary Object

Xu Wendong eagerly opened those storage treasures, pouring out the cultivation techniques, herbs, Spirit Stones, and rare minerals.

Besides, there were some incomplete weapons.

There were quite a few, but for Xu Wendong, they weren’t of great value.

”There’s a good thing!”

The voice of Dragon Soul suddenly sounded.

Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up. Anything deemed good by Dragon Soul must be extraordinary, right?

Dragon Soul said, ”There’s a Bronze Token in front of you. This object is exceptional.”

Xu Wendong found the palm-sized Bronze Token among the pile of items, feeling its significant weight in his hand.

Yet, there was no Spiritual Energy fluctuation, neither a Magical Treasure nor a Spiritual Artifact.

Dragon Soul explained, ”This item is a key. With it, you can let your soul enter the Land of Fortune.”

”Land of Fortune?” Xu Wendong looked bewildered.

Dragon Soul said, ”Indeed, it is a space filled with great fortune, accessible only by the soul.”

”Though Lord Long has never entered, many human powerhouses wish to enter.”

”Eight former emperors of the First-Level Cultivation Country have entered before.”

”Besides, in the Immortal Realm, there’s a legend that among those who can enter the Land of Fortune, nine out of ten will ascend to immortality.”

”However, the Land of Fortune only opens once every ten thousand years. It’s uncertain when it will open next.”

Xu Wendong longed in his heart: ”If it opens next time, there should be a sign from this Token, right?”

Dragon Soul: ”Yes.”

”Hope it opens soon!” Xu Wendong stored the Bronze Token back into the storage treasure, then sat cross-legged and began cultivation.

Meanwhile.

Zhang Yunxiao led the yamen runners to shut down the three great clans and twelve elite families.

Exterminated all their members.

When this news spread across Carefree City, it immediately caused a stir.

This information struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving people shaken, unable to believe.

Countless civilians and cultivators couldn’t believe those longstanding elite families were all eliminated.

For the moment.

They all felt that today’s sunshine was particularly warm.

Indeed.

To ordinary civilians, the three great clans and the twelve elite families were like clouds blocking the sky over Carefree City.

Even though Xu Wendong previously killed Qi Pengfei, deterring those elite families.

Ordinary people still didn’t truly feel free.

But now, it’s different.

Elite families have all been eradicated; for the common people, it was like the sun breaking through the clouds!

As such.

The city erupted with the sound of drums and gongs, countless people praising Xu Wendong, thanking him for his deeds for Carefree City.

Because in the eyes of the common people, Xu Wendong’s actions were like a beam of light piercing through the eternal night, illuminating the dark Carefree City.

What happened in Carefree City first reached Blackwater Country Capital.

”Your Majesty, good news from Carefree City, great news!”

Eunuch Liu, full of excitement, came to Fan Liang’s palace, saying: ”Lord Xu encountered the three great clans and twelve elite families in the Inner Sea.”

”He single-handedly defeated them all!”

”Upon return to Carefree City, he destroyed these fifteen elite families.”

”Moreover, County Minister Liu Zhengtong and Historian Wang Jincheng had already sided with those elite families, but have now been eliminated!”

Fan Liang looked incredulously at Eunuch Liu: ”Is what you say true?”

”Your Majesty, how could this old servant dare to lie? This matter is absolutely true!” The old eunuch exclaimed with excitement.

Fan Liang subconsciously swallowed, his eyes full of shock: ”How exactly did he achieve this?”

He knew Xu Wendong was extremely talented, possessing a rare Ancient Sacred Body.

It was precisely because of this that he took the risk of arranging for Xu Wendong to go to Carefree City.

But...

He didn’t expect Xu Wendong to eliminate fifteen elite family powerhouses in the Inner Sea and even root out spies hiding in the government office.

If all this happened in Carefree City, he wouldn’t be so surprised.

After all, with the blessing of the County Seal, even a Great Ascension Period Powerhouse could be instantly killed.

But the problem was.

Entering the Inner Sea, the County Seal becomes useless.

In such a scenario, Xu Wendong instantly killing everyone — how could it not be awe-inspiring?

Eunuch Liu said: ”The course of events is probably known only to Lord Xu.”

At this point, he added: ”By the way, Your Majesty, Lord Xu is also a Formation expert. He set up a Teleportation Array at the western coast and Carefree City, able to transport seafood from the Western Sea into the city in a short time!”

Fan Liang’s heart jolted, smilingly saying: ”That issue, now, can be easily explained, right?”

Earlier, he didn’t understand how Xu Wendong could kill fifteen elite family powerhouses in the Outer Sea.

Now he realized.

It must have been due to the Formation.

Moreover, Xu Wendong’s deeds in Carefree City likely brought him Virtue Power. Thus, eliminating fifteen elite families seems reasonable.

At this time.

Another eunuch came outside, respectfully saying: ”Your Majesty, the State Preceptor requests an audience!”

Fan Liang: ”Let him in!”

Soon.

Xuanjizi, in a white robe, entered the hall, holding a memorial, excitedly said: ”Your Majesty, the Sacred Stele has shown manifestations, heaven blesses our Blackwater Kingdom!”

”The Sacred Stele manifested?” Fan Liang suddenly stood up, even more shocked than hearing Xu Wendong eliminated fifteen elite families.

Every Cultivator Country has its own Sacred Stele.

However.

The Sacred Stele of Blackwater Kingdom hasn’t manifested for many years.

But he knows that whenever the Sacred Stele manifests, a stunning Heavenly Pride appears.

He excitedly walked to Xuanjizi, took up the memorial, and earnestly read: ”Worldly power is like floating clouds, with death comes peace.”

”Only the plight of the masses tugs at the heart, amidst hunger and cold.”

”Imperial might sitting high above, indifferent to heaven’s truth.”

”Undaunted by death, pursuing a journey ahead, worrying only about endless suffering of the masses.”

”In stormy times, the path of humanity is filled with hardship, hunger ravages the mortal world.”

”Willing to plan benefits for the world, eliminating distress and mourning.”

”After the glamour fades, true simplicity prevails, and peacefulness of the common people resides in my heart.”

”Unafraid of imperial power, not fearing death, only wishing for universal peace.”

When seeing the last sentence ’Unafraid of imperial power, not fearing death, only wishing for universal peace,’ Fan Liang couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

He glanced at the signature on the memorial, shocked: ”This poem, is written by Xu Wendong?”

Xuanjizi solemnly nodded: ”This poem, along with Lord Xu’s name, appeared simultaneously on the Sacred Stele; it must be authored by Lord Xu.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued: ”Your Majesty, surely you are aware of the changes in Carefree City, right?”

”Although Carefree City shows signs of prosperity, yet in the shadows, he might have incurred disfavor from that one.”

Fan Liang’s pupils sharply contracted: ”He really stretched his hand into Carefree City?”
