Chapter 235: Chapter 234, It’s Actually the Sect Leader’s Token

The evening on Azure Dragon Mountain was lively.

The sounds of insects and birds were constant.

Golden afterglow filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating a beautiful interplay of light and shadow.

Wild animals were seen playing and chasing each other in the forest, and though they were usually timid, the arrival of Xu Wendong did not disturb them.

One wild monkey even threw him a few wild fruits before swiftly disappearing from Xu Wendong’s sight, swinging agilely among the branches.

All things held spirit.

These mountain creatures sensed the True Qi emanating from Xu Wendong, and it was that aura which made them dare to approach.

After traversing four peaks, Xu Wendong reached the highest point of Azure Dragon Mountain, where stood a thousand-year-old Welcoming Pine, proudly upright despite the wind and rain, its resilience praiseworthy.

The early autumn air had a slight chill, especially on this peak 1,200 meters above sea level, where Xu Wendong sat quietly, a brilliant galaxy overhead.

Countless stars formed a majestic picture of a starry river, seemingly within reach.

About half an hour passed.

A faint sound of footsteps caught Xu Wendong’s ear.

He looked toward the southern forest with an amused smile: "The people of the Life-Seeking Sect truly honor me by sending eighty-six men, twenty of them reaching the realm of first-rate masters."

"But no matter how many come, they should not think of killing me."

Soon.

Two elderly men in their seventies arrived at the mountaintop with their followers.

Although in their seventies, they exuded vitality and powerful auras. Their eyes were particularly deep and sharp, intimidating those who dared to meet their gaze.

But to Xu Wendong, at the Eighth Layer of Yin-Cultivating, they weren’t much.

In addition to them.

There was a strikingly beautiful woman, with dazzling eyes and a noble air, exuding a cold yet alluring demeanor. Though in her thirties, dressed in a black ancient robe, she gave off a sense of chastity.

"Xu Wendong, you murdered members of my Life-Seeking Sect and openly declared war against us. Today is your death day!" The foremost elder, Xuan Yi, spoke with a voice filled with chilling murder intent.

He was the top-ranked assassin in the Life-Seeking Sect, his skills impressive.

Xuan Yi continued: "However, there are many ways to die."

"Would you prefer a quick end or endure the punishment of a thousand cuts?"

Xu Wendong wore a faint smile: "If I hand you this Obsidian Ring, will you give me a quick end? Otherwise, will you slice me piece by piece?"

Xuan Yi laughed, a creepy smile appearing on his aged face: "You’re a smart man, I enjoy conversing with people like you."

"I have a question, what is the origin of this Obsidian Ring?" Xu Wendong was curious about the ring’s history.

The other elder, Mu Qin, responded flatly: "Young man, some things are not meant for your meddling. Knowing them would do you no good."

Xu Wendong chuckled: "I’m almost dead anyway, what do I have to fear?"

Xuan Yi: "Why not make a trade?"

"I tell you the origin of the Obsidian Ring."

"And you answer me one question."

"How did this Obsidian Ring end up in your hands?"

Xu Wendong calmly asked: "Shouldn’t you first answer me about the ring’s origin?"

"Are you bargaining with me, old man?" A flash of killing intent appeared in Xuan Yi’s eyes.

Xu Wendong sneered: "Isn’t it you who’s bargaining? Moreover, do you believe I won’t shatter it right now?" As he spoke, he raised the Obsidian Ring with the intent to smash it to pieces.

"Don’t act rashly, don’t act rashly!" Xuan Yi urgently replied: "Alright, I’ll tell you the origin of this Obsidian Ring. It is the token of our Life-Seeking Sect’s leader, accidentally lost forty years ago. This item is extremely important to us."

"..." Xu Wendong felt his intelligence was being insulted. Why did the people of the Life-Seeking Sect lie without hesitation? The Butcher previously claimed the Obsidian Ring was his family heirloom, lost twenty years ago.

Now this old man said it was the sect leader’s token, lost forty years ago.

But in reality, Elder Qin had possessed it for over fifty years!

Although Xu Wendong knew Xuan Yi was lying, one thing was clear: the Obsidian Ring was extraordinarily important to the Life-Seeking Sect.

It might indeed be the token of the sect leader, otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent so many people just to retrieve it.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on his face: "Since it’s the leader’s token, and I currently have it, shouldn’t you address me as Sect Leader?"

Xuan Yi’s face darkened: "Xu, stop being disrespectful. I have answered your question, so now it’s your turn to answer mine."

"Where did you get this Obsidian Ring?"

Xu Wendong’s lips curled: "Did I ever say I’d tell you the history of this Obsidian Ring?"

"If you wish to die, I’ll oblige!" Xuan Yi, enraged, signaled to four middle-aged men behind him, who immediately charged at Xu Wendong with arrow-like speed.

At the same time, each wielded a sharp dagger, resembling a snake’s tongue, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

All four had the strength of first-rate masters.

They were not only swift as lightning but also carried an overwhelming momentum.

Yet Xu Wendong showed a disdainful look, then controlled the Thousand-Year Silkworm Thread to whip out, instantly slicing through the bodies of the four, accompanied by a crimson mist.

The four were severed at the waist, stopping less than five meters from Xu Wendong, uttering cries of terror.

They were assassins, unafraid of death.

Yet today’s experience left them feeling a fear more terrifying than death.

With just a wave of Xu Wendong’s hand, they were cut in half.

How could such power not be astounding?

Especially witnessing their legs and bodies separate, their organs slowly spilling from the abdomen, that visual impact was unbearable for ordinary people.

After the four fell, the Wolf King led the pack to slowly emerge behind Xu Wendong, a dozen wolves silently standing, glaring at the Life-Seeking Sect members with bared teeth.

Simultaneously, the Life-Seeking Sect members felt the same overwhelming oppression, not to mention Xu Wendong’s instant killing of four first-rate masters.

The mere presence of the wolf pack behind him, eyeing them like prey, left their scalps tingling and their bodies shivering with fear.

They couldn’t comprehend why the wolf pack had such a close relationship with Xu Wendong.

Xuan Yi took a deep breath, attempting to calm his emotions, then signaled to the coldly elegant woman.

The next moment.

The woman took out a Jade Flute and began to play it.

As the sound of the flute filled the air, Xu Wendong’s expression drastically changed. The True Qi within him surged brilliantly, and even his head throbbed with sharp pain.

He knew, this woman was a true master!
