Chapter 2140 - 2137: Get Over Here and Die to Atone!

In the blink of an eye, time swiftly elapsed!

Xu Wendong mainly focused on crafting the Fifth Grade Nether Talisman, progressing at an astounding speed; now, it only takes him an hour to draw a Fifth Grade Nether Talisman!

Today is the day of the Dragon and Phoenix Grand Competition.

"It’s time to leave seclusion," Xu Wendong’s eyes flickered.

Although participating in the Dragon and Phoenix Grand Competition is for the Three-Life Stone Fragment, he also wants to know his standing among the current younger generation!

"Although your realm is at the Third Level of Ghost Control Realm, being a Fifth Grade Nether Talisman Master, your combat ability isn’t weak!"

"But those who can partake in the Dragon and Phoenix Grand Competition aren’t weak either; they’re the elites of various forces!"

The Painting Saint said, "You need not achieve first place; the focus is on obtaining the Three-Life Stone Fragment."

Encountering someone like Hu Fang before was relatively weak, and there may later be even stronger Heavenly Pride figures!

If Xu Wendong encounters formidable opponents, there will inevitably be variables, but the priority remains the Three-Life Stone Fragment; as for first place, don’t think about it.

Xu Wendong nodded and said, "But I still want to try."

There remains a surge of vital energy within him!

If he hadn’t participated in the Dragon and Phoenix Grand Competition, it would be fine, but now that he has, he must give his best!

Xu Wendong stepped into the city, and various forces had already gathered before the magnificent city gate!

Xu Wendong glanced around and saw that there were hundreds of people assembled, such a grand spectacle!

He now adopted his own form, without needing to hide.

"Mr. Xu!"

Not far away, the Ying Sisters were waving at him.

Xu Wendong nodded in acknowledgment.

He quickly walked to Qi Lechun’s side; having registered for the Dragon and Phoenix Grand Competition under the Nether Talisman Hall’s name, he naturally stood with the Nether Talisman Hall.

Jiang Manyu approached, amiably hooking arms with Xu Wendong, smilingly asked, "Husband, you seem even more formidable now?"

She could sense that Xu Wendong’s aura was stronger than before!

"Hall Master... The Holy Maiden seems to be getting too close to that man." A Talisman Master remarked.

The Hall Master of the Nether Talisman Hall was a middle-aged man, dressed in the attire of a Talisman Master, and radiated an intense aura; he glanced at Xu Wendong, saying, "Fifth Grade? He is certainly qualified to interact with Manyu! How come I haven’t seen this young friend before?"

What?!

Upon his words, the people of the Nether Talisman Hall were shocked!

Fifth Grade?

Many of them knew about Xu Wendong’s previous participation in the assessments; this man had refused Elder Shan’s invitation!

Refusing Elder Shan’s invitation virtually indicated Xu Wendong was unlikely to become a Fifth Grade Nether Talisman Master!

But now?

Xu Wendong turned out to be Fifth Grade!

Such a young Fifth Grade Nether Talisman Master!

Even Jiang Manyu was somewhat surprised; as the Holy Maiden of the Nether Talisman Hall, her proficiency in Nether Talismans was quite high, yet she too was just a Fifth Grade Nether Talisman Master!

Her instinct was correct; Xu Wendong himself possessed a truly terrifying talent in Nether Talismans!

Upon these words, Zhou Kuang from afar felt as though he had been slapped by Xu Wendong across the air!

He had previously boasted loudly that Xu Wendong could not be Fifth Grade.

But now?

The facts were plainly before everyone!

Even the Hall Master was now viewing Xu Wendong differently.

Elder Shan from afar was also deeply regretful, having truly misjudged that day, otherwise, he would have done all he could to bring Xu Wendong under his wing!

Such a young Fifth Grade Nether Talisman Master, what achievements would he attain in the future?

"Hall Master, this young friend is my acquaintance," Qi Lechun said, "I brought him into the Nether Talisman Hall! His name is Xu Wendong."

He too was startled.

How much time had passed, and Xu Wendong was already Fifth Grade?

"Indeed," the Hall Master nodded, "Xiao Xu is truly a rare talent; none of you previously reported to me? If it weren’t for Steward Qi, we would have lost such talent."

"From now on, Steward Qi shall be the Elder in charge of assessments!"

Upon his words, Zhou Kuang became even more mortified, and even his intestines turned green with regret!

After a minor interlude.

Gathered at the city gate were renowned figures from throughout the Da Yin Dynasty, all leading the groups; among the younger generation, none were weak, with the weakest at the Third Level of Ghost Control Realm!

"The Third Saint Son of Wind Thunder Pavilion has arrived, reputedly their strength is formidable, and the Third Saint Son himself is at the Seventh Level of Ghost Control Realm!"

"Also, the Joyful Holy Land; it’s said their Holy Maiden has come too, rumored to have a stunning beauty, I wonder if she can be seen?"

Xu Wendong attentively listened to the discussions around him; he needed such information.

Indeed, many came for this Dragon and Phoenix Grand Competition, involving numerous forces, among them were extremely talented young Heavenly Pride figures!

"Wonder who the host for this Dragon and Phoenix Grand Competition will be?"

"Every year, it’s Prince Jing hosting!"

"Who’s Prince Jing?"

Suddenly, one person exclaimed, "It’s him, he’s the one who killed Hu Fang!"

This was a disciple of the Liufeng Sacred Land; when Xu Wendong killed Hu Fang, he witnessed the scene.

Now, recognizing Xu Wendong, he pointed him out directly!

"Oh? Someone from the Nether Talisman Hall, is it? Haha... Quite interesting; within the Dragon and Phoenix Grand Competition, we won’t show mercy!" An Elder from Liufeng Sacred Land coldly remarked.

Previously, a Talisman Master attacked the core disciple of Liufeng Sacred Land, and they had suspected the Nether Talisman Hall was responsible!

Their hostility was undisguised.

The crowd around was attracted by the commotion.

Xu Wendong remained indifferent, not responding!

"Killed my disciple of Liufeng Sacred Land in public, thinking silence solves everything? Step forth and atone with your death!" The Elder from Liufeng Sacred Land persisted.

"Hall Master," Qi Lechun worriedly called.

But the Hall Master of the Nether Talisman Hall remained silent, at this point... that Liufeng Sacred Land Elder suddenly lunged at Xu Wendong, filled with murderous intent!

His realm was the Sixth Level of Ghost Control Realm, considered powerful.

Jiang Manyu exclaimed, preparing to act, but Xu Wendong stepped forward to meet him directly, his eyes icy cold!

"Courting death!" The Liufeng Sacred Land Elder sneered.

Yet throughout, Xu Wendong remained indifferent; he struck a palm, darkly concealing a talisman in his hand!

Bam!

A dark light flashed, pierced through the body of the Liufeng Sacred Land Elder, killing him instantly on the spot!

Xu Wendong landed back, maintaining a cold demeanor.

All surrounding people were shocked, their gazes towards Xu Wendong transforming instantly.

"A Sixth Level Ghost Control Realm Elder killed just like that? With a single palm?"

"No, not just a palm, but the Nether Talisman Power! Only this person used it in a hidden manner, making it hard to detect. What grade of talisman did he just use?" Someone discerned some clues!

"When did the Nether Talisman Hall have such a figure?"

"And so young, never heard of before!"

Many instantly branded Xu Wendong as someone not to be provoke; this person was indeed terrifying!

"Does Liufeng Sacred Land have no one?" Someone shouted in fury.

It was a Seventh Level Ghost Control Realm Elder, about to make a move!

But just then...

The Hall Master of the Nether Talisman Hall took a step forward: "Liufeng Sacred Land wants to break the rules of the Dragon and Phoenix Grand Competition?"

"It was your Nether Talisman Hall who initiated action first!"

"He merely defended himself!"

At this, the Elder hesitated, looking towards the Saint Master of Liufeng Sacred Land, a dignified man, his gaze evaluating Xu Wendong, as if pondering something.

Just then, the crowd erupted with cheers: "Prince Jing has arrived!"
