Chapter 2109 - 2106: Identity Exposed

Xu Wendong sneered coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Since you know my identity, you’ll undoubtedly die today."

As he increased the devouring force, Huang Biao let out a piercing scream, the whole person turning into a black mist, completely devoured.

The majestic power of the Fourth Level of Ghost Control Realm surged into the Dantian, Xu Wendong’s aura soared, his cultivation level instantly breaking through to the Second Layer of Ghost Control Realm.

From the air came bursts of explosions, as if celebrating the rise of this new formidable figure.

He put away Huang Biao’s Storage Bag, and with a quick scan, inside two million Nether Crystals gleamed faintly, along with various rare treasures of considerable value.

Xu Wendong walked toward the Ying Sisters, handing out one million Nether Crystals, but saw Ying Youlu stand there stunned, her eyes full of shock and realization: "Brother Xu... I remember now, you’re the one wanted by the Heavenly Nether Domain! You’re the one who took the Three-Life Stone Fragment!"

Ying Youwei’s face turned pale instantly, looking at Xu Wendong with disbelief: "This... how is this possible?"

Xu Wendong calmly met their gaze: "That’s right, I am the one wanted by the Da Yin Dynasty."

He slowly extended his hand, his aura suddenly turning icy, as if the next second he would relentlessly strike.

The Ying Sisters instinctively took a step back, their eyes filled with fear and despair.

However, Xu Wendong’s hand ultimately dropped weakly: "Forget it, you should leave." He sighed lightly, unable to muster the ruthlessness to strike these two women with whom he had shared intimacy.

Just as Ying Youwei turned to leave, Ying Youlu suddenly rushed forward, tightly hugging Xu Wendong’s arm: "Brother Xu, are you going to drive me away?"

"I’m not leaving! I’m already yours; whatever you’ve done, I don’t care!"

She lifted her head, her eyes full of stubbornness and determination: "Marrying a chicken follows a chicken, marrying a dog follows a dog; I recognize only you in this life!"

Ying Youwei looked at her sister’s resolute appearance, recalling the moments with Xu Wendong, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She bit her lip and stepped forward to hug Xu Wendong’s other arm: "I’m not leaving either! Brother Xu is my husband, and I don’t care about anything else!"

Xu Wendong felt warmth in his heart; these two women knew he was heavily guilty yet were still willing to share his trials.

To know the Imperial Family of Da Yin had issued a bounty to capture him, tempting the entire Netherworld to madness, yet they were willing to abandon all that.

"Brother Xu, let’s go back and properly plan what to do next," Ying Youlu said softly.

Just as Xu Wendong was about to nod, Ying Youwei shook her head with a serious expression: "We can’t go back! Brother Xu, you’ve killed Zhuo Yang, and the City Lord probably already knows."

She paused, her tone growing even more somber, "Zhuo Yang has a Lifebound Soul Lamp in the City Lord’s hands; once he dies, the Soul Lamp extinguishes."

"Now that he’s dead, the City Lord will surely send someone to investigate the murderer..."

"So what if they know? What’s the big deal?" Ying Youlu blinked, full of curiosity and asked, "Could it be that the City Lord can actually know Brother Xu killed Zhuo Yang?"

Xu Wendong was equally puzzled, after all, the Lifebound Soul Lamp could only sense life and death, not track the murderer.

Ying Youwei took a deep breath, the light of recollection flashing in her eyes as she slowly said: "The City Lord has a skill, the Soul Seeking Divine Power."

"This time, the Huang Family and Zhuo Yang came to find us with great fanfare, someone must know."

"As long as the City Lord asks around, he’ll know Zhuo Yang came after us, and then he’ll suspect you and me." Saying that, she revealed a bitter expression.

Xu Wendong was taken aback, asking: "What is the Soul Seeking Divine Power?"

Ying Youwei explained: "It means once he finds you and uses the Soul Seeking, your soul can’t hide any secrets, and your killing Zhuo Yang will be exposed."

After hearing these words, Xu Wendong’s face instantly became solemn.

Isn’t this just Soul Search?

In this case, indeed he couldn’t go back to Black Tiger City.

"It’s fine..." Xu Wendong pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "It looks like we have to part ways here."

"Since we can’t go back, I naturally have to leave; we’ll meet again someday."

Ying Youlu’s eyes were full of resentment, she still wanted to keep Xu Wendong.

During these days with Xu Wendong, the happiness she gained from him made her incredibly attached, but now, he had to leave.

Ying Youwei’s heart was also full of unwillingness, but she knew time was tight.

The City Lord undoubtedly already knew about Zhuo Yang’s death, and would surely come to investigate. If Xu Wendong didn’t leave soon, he’d undoubtedly be in danger.

"Sister, we can only let Brother Xu go." Ying Youwei said with a wry smile, stepping forward to take out a Yin Yang Jade Pendant.

Black jade was Yin, white jade was Yang, the two shaped like tadpoles, together forming the pattern of the Eight Trigrams.

"Brother Xu, take this Yang Jade." Ying Youwei’s voice was full of reluctance: "In the future, if we meet again, these two Jade Pendants will guide us to each other, and I’ll be able to find you."

Xu Wendong nodded, reaching out to take the Yang Jade.

At this moment, Ying Youlu, tears streaming down her face, took out a map and handed it to Xu Wendong: "Brother Xu, this is a map of our Lieyin County, all the cities marked."

"You can go to our county city, Lieyin City; in three months, our Ying Family will go there too."

"At that time, we can meet again."

Xu Wendong took the map and examined it carefully. The Da Yin Dynasty was vast, divided into many counties, and Lieyin County was one of them.

Within Lieyin County were over a dozen cities, with the county city marked in red.

With nowhere to go, Xu Wendong decided to head to Lieyin County, where he might gather more information about the Three-Life Stone Fragment.

"Alright, then we’ll meet in Lieyin County," Xu Wendong said.

"Brother Xu, goodbye." Ying Youwei, tears in her eyes, waved at him.

"Brother Xu, we’ll see you in three months." Ying Youlu also waved, her voice choked.

Xu Wendong didn’t linger, resolutely turned and left.

The eerie wind howled, once again he embarked on a solitary journey. The experience in Black Tiger City was merely the beginning of his long journey.

In the City Lord’s Mansion of Black Tiger City, the City Lord Zhuo Yuncheng’s face was full of anger as he stared at the extinguished Soul Lamp in the room.

Looking at the Soul Lamp emitting wisps of green smoke, he fell into a rage, furiously roaring: "Who dares! Killed my son?"

Actually, Zhuo Yang was his son, but as the City Lord, he worried his son would be avenged by enemies, so he let Zhuo Yang pretend to be his nephew.

Now that Zhuo Yang was dead, how could he not be angry?

"Someone report, where did Zhuo Yang go today, why did he die! Quickly report!" Zhuo Yuncheng roared.

A person looking like a butler nervously stepped forward, saying: "City Lord, Young Master Zhuo left Black Tiger City with Elder Qian, saying he went to the Forbidden Area of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, claiming to capture someone named Xu Wendong."

After hearing the report, Zhuo Yuncheng’s eyes flashed with cold light: "So, it was Xu Wendong who killed my son?"

As soon as the words fell, his figure flickered, rushing towards the outside of the city.

He exuded an aura of the Seventh Level of Ghost Control Realm, enough to suppress the entire city; this was truly a top-level cultivator!
