Chapter 2124 Beware of Being Peeped On

"Senior Sister..." Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu hesitated, feeling somewhat reluctant to tell Jiang Manyu the truth.

After all, Jiang Manyu was the direct disciple of the Grand Elder among the Ten Great Elders, and her talent was top-notch within the Nether Talisman Hall.

But now she’s been outdone by Xu Wendong, something perhaps no one could accept.

"Speak!" Jiang Manyu could see they had something to say, and she looked over coldly.

With a mere glance from those beautiful eyes, Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu felt their legs weaken.

"Actually, what Xu Wendong said about ’in a blink’... is literal." Zhao Wu braced himself and spoke.

"Impossible!" Jiang Manyu gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening.

"Did he really just casually swipe a Nether Talisman and complete it?" Jiang Manyu gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening.

Even her master probably couldn’t draw a Fourth Grade Nether Talisman in the blink of an eye.

Nether Talisman is profound and complex; such a miraculous feat is simply unimaginable. Even if someone could do it, it couldn’t be Xu Wendong.

Qi Lechun sighed softly, saying, "He just casually swiped and drew a Fourth Grade Nether Talisman, and it was the notoriously difficult Flowing Rock Armor Talisman."

These words left Jiang Manyu dumbfounded.

But what Qi Lechun said next was even more difficult to accept.

"Just now Elder Shan was thinking of taking him as a disciple, but he refused."

After saying this, Qi Lechun walked out of the Nether Talisman Hall, intending to have a good talk with Xu Wendong.

Elder Shan doesn’t often accept disciples; to date, he has only three disciples, two of whom are already Fourth Grade Nether Talisman Masters, and the third is a princess of the Imperial Family.

Becoming a disciple of Elder Shan is certainly a fortunate thing.

At that moment, Jiang Manyu stood in place, stunned.

Her beautiful face displayed a remarkably complex expression.

"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Zhao Wen hurriedly approached with concern.

"Don’t disturb Senior Sister; she needs some quiet." Zhao Wu said, pulling Zhao Wen away.

They all left the Nether Talisman Hall, leaving only Jiang Manyu with glinting eyes, no one knowing what she was thinking.

When everything returned to calm.

Jiang Manyu clenched her teeth with an angry expression.

She just couldn’t believe Xu Wendong was that amazing!

She’s supposedly the most outstanding Heavenly Pride disciple among the young generation of the Nether Talisman Hall, so why was Xu Wendong better?

There’s definitely something fishy about this!

"I will investigate thoroughly and then expose you!"

"Xu Wendong, you won’t escape the palm of my hand!" Jiang Manyu extended her slender jade hand and then fiercely grasped, as if directly seizing Xu Wendong’s lifeline.

"Even if you do possess such talent, you... still have to give it to me!" With that, Jiang Manyu also walked out. She was now going to find Xu Wendong.

...

After leaving the Nether Talisman Hall, Xu Wendong roamed the streets of Lieyin County City.

Now, with the face-changing technique concealing him.

He wasn’t worried about being discovered.

The Imperial Family’s bounty on him continued, with his portrait everywhere on the streets. But Xu Wendong had the Xuanming Concealment Skill; so when he encountered strong cultivators in the Ghost Control Realm, he concealed his aura.

In this way, even those who had seen Xu Wendong previously wouldn’t detect his aura.

Not even gods and ghosts could identify him!

With multiple methods at play, Xu Wendong’s safety was naturally assured.

"Lieyin County City has an opportunity, and the Divine Yin Spring is within the territory. When the time comes, I can act alongside Elder Qi and the others."

"I must obtain that Divine Yin Spring." Xu Wendong squinted, plotting inwardly.

"Kid, the Divine Yin Spring is highly potent; not only can it enhance your cultivation level, but it can also wash away the grudge of the Three-Life Stone Fragment you previously acquired."

"You must come to this place." Painting Saint reminded him.

Xu Wendong’s eyes brightened, as he was unable to use the Three-Life Stone Fragment obtained from the Nether Ruins.

The reason was that the grudge within it was too intense.

However, when he encountered Ling Xuefei, her Three-Life Stone Fragment didn’t contain any grudge, having probably been cleansed.

"That’s not right..." Xu Wendong suddenly realized, showing a surprised expression.

"That woman I encountered before had a clean Three-Life Stone Fragment, and she’s in Lieyin County. Doesn’t that imply..." Xu Wendong had a suspicion.

Could it be that Ling Xuefei already used the Divine Yin Spring to cleanse her Three-Life Stone Fragment?

Painting Saint naturally knew what Xu Wendong was thinking, and he chuckled, "If that’s truly the case, then the Divine Yin Spring can’t be used. It must have absorbed the grudge from the Three-Life Stone Fragment, but you can still use it to cleanse the fragment in your hand."

Receiving this answer, Xu Wendong understood, smiling bitterly, "I just can’t absorb the spring water inside, right?"

A perfectly good opportunity gone just like that.

The Divine Yin Spring could greatly accelerate a cultivator’s training speed.

If Xu Wendong could obtain it, he might soar even higher.

"What a pity..." Xu Wendong sighed.

At that moment, a voice came from behind.

"Xu Wendong, stop right there." The owner of the voice stood not far away, glaring at Xu Wendong.

"Senior Sister Jiang, is there something you need?" Xu Wendong asked with a smile; this person’s status was not weak, even Wang Yan from Liufeng Sacred Land feared her.

"Tell me, what trick did you use to deceive everyone!" Jiang Manyu walked up, grabbing Xu Wendong by the collar.

Because Xu Wendong was a head taller than her, the action looked quite comical.

"Are you here to cause trouble?" Xu Wendong’s face turned cold; he wasn’t afraid of this woman.

"That’s exactly why I’m here!"

"If you don’t reveal how you passed the Fourth Grade Nether Talisman Master’s assessment, I’ll keep pestering you!" Jiang Manyu was dissatisfied; she was clearly the first Heavenly Pride of the Nether Talisman Hall, yet there was someone better than her. This made her, always competitive, quite upset.

"Then you’ll pester me during meals and sleep too? Even when I’m in the restroom?" Xu Wendong asked, annoyed.

"Even if you strip for a bath, I’ll follow you!" Jiang Manyu gritted her teeth with an attitude of relentless pursuit.

This truly surprised Xu Wendong. Was this woman mad?

People on the street cast curious glances, all watching the duo in amusement.

"Are these two a Daoist couple?"

Flirting and squabbling on the street, showing no regard for others.

"Haha, the vitality of youth." The crowd murmured, though Xu Wendong didn’t care, Jiang Manyu’s face flushed; she turned to say to the crowd:

"We’re not! We’re not a Daoist couple!" Upon saying this, no one believed it.

"Look, she’s blushing."

"Saying they’re not a Daoist couple, but that’s clearly embarrassment."

"Ah, the young nowadays... such a lively bunch."

The street was buzzing with curiosity, but Xu Wendong didn’t bother clarifying.

Jiang Manyu took a deep breath and pulled Xu Wendong into a narrow alley.

"Hey, don’t you two lose control and do it in the alley."

"Be careful of peepers..."
