Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Seeing the atmosphere turn a bit off, Xu Wendong immediately let out a sigh, thinking to himself that he had to come up with a way to stabilize the situation.

So.

He spoke slowly, his voice steady and firm: ”Considering this is your first offense, and you were probably misled by the Liu Family, I can choose not to pursue this matter, and I’ll even plead for leniency for you.”

As he spoke, he observed the Disciples’ reactions and continued, ”My Senior Sister is Li Jiayin, and my Master is the Sect Master. With me pleading on your behalf, you might still be able to live.”

Xu Wendong forced himself to stand straight. Though his body was weak, he still tried his best to appear aloof and extraordinary.

Then his gaze turned cold as he said in an icy voice, ”If you plan to fight to the bitter end and remain stubborn, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

”I can kill Elder Liu. Killing you lot is just as easy!”

All the Heavenly Nether Sect Disciples’ faces drastically changed. Just moments ago they had been ready to fight him to the death, but now, after hearing Xu Wendong’s words, each of them started wavering.

If they could live, who the hell wanted to die?

They immediately dropped to their knees with a loud ”thud,” their voices trembling as they shouted, ”We’re willing to accept punishment. When we return to the Sect, we beg Brother Lin to put in a good word for us. We were all deceived.”

Seeing this, the corners of Xu Wendong’s mouth curved into a barely noticeable smile.

He knew these people would never willingly die for the Liu Family.

A mix of carrot and stick, and he’d managed to stabilize the situation.

But the most pressing matter was still to quickly restore his Cultivation Level; his body had already been pushed to its limit.

”Guard for me outside. I’ve mastered a secret technique that can extract the memories of the dead. I need to carefully see what secrets are in Elder Liu’s head.” After Xu Wendong finished speaking, he directly reached out, grabbed Elder Liu’s corpse, and dragged it into the Nether Crystal Vein.

His movements were a bit strained—after all, his body was weak—but he still forced himself to persist.

The group of Heavenly Nether Sect Disciples looked at each other, none daring to object.

Their eyes were full of doubt and fear, and they could only obediently stand outside, acting as protectors for Xu Wendong.

...

Inside the vein, the dim light made it hard to see the surroundings clearly.

A wisp of ghostly blue Yin Fire appeared on Xu Wendong’s fingertip. The Yin Fire flickered in the darkness like ghost-flame, emitting an eerie glow.

With a light wave of his hand, the Yin Fire instantly wrapped around Elder Liu’s corpse and began to burn fiercely.

In no time, the corpse was burned completely clean, leaving only a pile of ashes.

Just now he had only tossed out a random excuse in order to steady those Heavenly Nether Sect Disciples.

But before that, Xu Wendong had reacted quickly and taken the Storage Bag from Elder Liu’s body.

He thought to himself that this Old Witch had been an Oiran for so long and had also plundered the Nether Crystal Vein; she’d probably earned a fortune, and definitely had a ton of Nether Crystals.

And that last wave of Nether Crystals they’d mined had probably all been snatched by her.

This Old Witch was definitely filthy rich!

Xu Wendong immediately returned to the cave where the Top-grade Nether Crystals had been stored earlier.

He carefully sealed off this space, making sure no one would disturb him.

He quickly sat down cross-legged, his hands trembling slightly as he impatiently checked Elder Liu’s Storage Bag.

”Holy shit, I’ve struck it rich!” The moment Xu Wendong opened the Storage Bag, he saw the five million Nether Crystals glittering inside. The dazzling light almost blinded him.

He had already expected the Old Witch to be rich, but he hadn’t thought she’d be this rich—it completely exceeded his imagination.

And that wasn’t all; there were also all sorts of treasures inside the Storage Bag.

Elixirs exuded an enticing fragrance, clearly rare and precious at a glance; Netherworld Talismans, their Runes flickering, seemed to contain terrifying power; Treasures gleamed with cold light, each one radiating a unique aura.

This was the first time Xu Wendong had seen someone this loaded. Excitement flashed in his eyes; with this, he probably wouldn’t have to worry about his Cultivation in the future.

But soon he found a delicate little wooden box tucked in a corner of the Storage Bag.

On that wooden box, there was actually a mysterious symbol carved into it. The lines of the symbol were smooth, yet carried an indescribable eeriness.

”What’s this?” Xu Wendong frowned in confusion.

His eyes were full of curiosity. As he gently picked up the wooden box and slowly opened it, a pink mist instantly sprayed out, like rosy smoke, quickly spreading through the air.

”Crap, it’s poison!” Xu Wendong’s pupils instantly contracted. He cursed inwardly and immediately tried to mobilize the last trace of Soul Power in his body to expel the poison.

However, this toxin turned out to be incredibly terrifying, spreading at a shocking speed.

Before long, Xu Wendong felt heat raging all over his body, as if a blazing fire was burning inside him. His face flushed bright red, and large beads of sweat rolled continuously from his forehead.

”Shit, that Elder Liu is really vicious—she actually used an aphrodisiac!” Xu Wendong’s heart lurched, and anger and shock instantly crossed his face.

His eyes bulged like they were about to spit fire, his teeth grinding audibly. ”That old hag’s brain is completely screwed. To lace something like this with poison... just how desperate is she?”

Xu Wendong knew all too well how fearsome this aphrodisiac was. He didn’t dare delay even a second and immediately mobilized all the strength in his body, trying to drive out the poison that was surging through him like a raging tide.

He shut his eyes tight. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled endlessly from his forehead, slid down his cheeks, and dripped onto the ground.

His breathing grew hurried and heavy, each exhale as if he was trying to force the poison out of his body.

However, if Elder Liu knew what was happening in the afterlife, she’d probably be shouting that her wish had come true.

The wooden box had originally contained the powder she used to bewitch people—a drug specifically for confusing men so she could perform her evil essence-harvesting tricks.

This kind of aphrodisiac had an extremely potent effect and was said to be incurable.

It wasn’t enough to kill, but it would make the body unbearably hot and restless, stirring up a surge of primal desire that was impossible to suppress.

Just then, Zhao Ying’er slowly woke up.

She had been in this Top-grade Nether Crystal space focusing on Cultivation, using the dense Spiritual Energy of the Nether Crystals to Cultivate at a terrifying speed.

However, Xu Wendong’s intrusion shattered her meditative state, and she gradually emerged from her trance.

”Lin Mo, what’s wrong with you?” Zhao Ying’er’s voice carried a hint of drowsiness and concern.

She blinked and looked over at Xu Wendong, only to see that his face was as red as a ripe tomato. His whole body seemed wrapped in a blazing flame, heat waves rolling off him in waves.

Mixed in with that heat was a strange, arousing scent, like invisible tendrils gently teasing at her body and mind...
