<h4>Chapter 837: Chapter 835: Openly Dering War</h4>


    Although Fuyao had the idea of dual cultivation with a man, it was just a thought, because she knew several Daoist couples.


    They always lived carefree and leisurely in the secluded valleys of Qingzhou, away from worldly disputes.


    However.


    Their cultivation level was not very high and did not improve because of dual cultivation.


    "Why can Zhongli and Zhu Qing improve their cultivation by dual cultivating with a man?"


    "Could it be that the guy named Xu has a Yang Furnace physique?"


    A big question mark arose in Fuyao’s heart.


    Other than this possibility, she couldn’t think of any reason for Zhongli and Zhu Qing’s breakthrough.


    "Maybe I could secretly approach that little fellow."


    Thinking of this, a glint shed in Fuyao’s eyes.


    She had been in the Golden Core Stage for fifteen hundred years. If she couldn’t transform her Golden Core to Nascent Soul, her end was near.


    ------


    The next day.


    "Greetings, Senior Brother Xu!"


    Emerald Bamboo Forest.


    While Xu Wendong was preparing breakfast, a young disciple in a gray robe respectfully walked over.


    The gray robe signified an outer disciple, so it was right to call Xu Wendong Senior Brother.


    Xu Wendong curiously asked, "Is there something you need?"


    "A disciple from Mingyue City delivered a letter, said to be personally written by Miss Chen Xi, the daughter of the Chen Escort Agency, for you." The disciple respectfully handed over a letter.


    Xu Wendong couldn’t help but frown and immediately took the letter. Upon reading the words inside, his expression suddenly changed.


    The reason was that the Chen Escort Agency had arranged a marriage for Chen Xi, to marry her off as a concubine to the son of the current Prime Minister.


    The purpose of Chen Xi’s letter was to hope for one more meeting with Xu Wendong.


    "Senior Brother Xu, I will take my leave now." Feeling the inexplicable cold aura emanating from Xu Wendong, the outer disciple felt almost suffocated and immediately left while cupping his hands in respect.


    "Junior Brother Xu, what happened?"


    Bai Jie, wearing a sky-blue long dress, gracefully walked out of the bamboo house. She could feel the significant change in Xu Wendong’s emotions.


    Xu Wendong told her about what happened with Chen Xi.


    Bai Jie sighed softly, "This matter is quiteplicated. After all, the other party is the son of the current Prime Minister. In all of Qingzhou, few can contend with him!"


    "No matter what, I must go to Mingyue City." Xu Wendong’s eyes were firm. He absolutely wouldn’t agree to his woman marrying someone else.


    "I’ll take you to Mingyue City!" Bai Jie said, and then a flying sword appeared beneath her feet, carrying Xu Wendong into the air, flying towards the direction of Mingyue City.


    Standing on the flying sword, Xu Wendong ced his arm around Bai Jie’s slender waist and curiously asked, "Senior Sister Bai, why does the court dominate over cultivators in the Kunlun Mountains Minor World?"


    Xu Wendong had watched many dramas before, and without exception, cultivators always dominated the court. But here, it waspletely different.


    This puzzled him greatly.


    Bai Jie said, "Do you know who created the Kunlun Mountains Minor World?"


    Xu Wendong shook his head.


    Bai Jie said, "As far as I know, the person who created the Kunlun Mountains Minor World was a powerful figure named Chi Songzi, a formation grandmaster."


    "Chi Songzi had nine disciples. After creating the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, he gave each of them a powerful magical treasure, letting them rule the Nine Provinces."


    "With that magical treasure, they could break through their limits and be Nascent Soul Stage experts."


    "This is why the Nine Provinces Court has Nascent Soul Stage experts to hold their fort."


    "From this, you should understand why cultivators submit to the court?"


    Xu Wendong’s lips curled into a bitter smile.


    The mere presence of Nascent Soul Stage experts within the Nine Provinces Court was enough topletely crush the cultivators.


    In the face of such power, who dared not submit?


    An hourter.


    Xu Wendong and Bai Jie arrived in Mingyue City.


    At the moment they descended into Mingyue City, Xu Wendong sensed Chen Xi’s presence and immediately headed to the Chen Escort Agency, where he saw Chen Xi in the backyard, looking utterly haggard.


    Besides Chen Xi, there was also an elder over fifty in the yard, with eyebrows that bore some resemnce to Chen Xi.


    "Brother Chen, I can no longer be your woman!" Upon seeing Xu Wendong, Chen Xi directly threw herself into his arms, her scorching tears instantly soaking the front of his clothes.


    Xu Wendong said softly, "Don’t cry. Tell me what’s going on?"


    "Young Master Chen, all of this is my fault, I apologize to you!" Chen Xi’s father lowered his head in full remorse, not daring to meet Xu Wendong’s eyes.


    "Father, this isn’t your fault. You were looking out for your daughter." Chen Xi sobbed uncontrobly, then recounted the events.


    A few days ago, after being kidnapped by the Azure Dragon Stronghold, her father was anxious and yearned to rescue her but had no means.


    So, in desperation, he sent her portrait to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, thinking that the Prime Minister’s son was looking for a concubine.


    He knew that only the current Prime Minister could save his daughter.


    Unexpectedly, before they received a response after sending the portrait, the daughter had safely returned home.


    This made him quite happy.


    But soon, news arrived from the capital that the Prime Minister’s son had taken a liking to his daughter and was to marry her as a concubine in three days through formal channels.


    Chen Zhen felt hopeless!


    Because, unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to marry his daughter to the Prime Minister’s son.


    After all, if she entered the Prime Minister’s mansion, she would certainly not have a happy life.


    "Uncle Chen, you shouldn’t me yourself. This matter isn’t your fault!" Having learned all the facts, Xu Wendong offeredfort, then said, "I will take care of this issue!"


    Bai Jie sighed softly, "Junior Brother Xu, this is not easy to deal with."


    Xu Wendong said, "As long as I forcefully take Chen Xi away, the Prime Minister’s Mansion will not exact revenge on the Chen Family, and only in this way can the Chen Family be safe."


    Bai Jie’s heart shivered fiercely, "If you do this, it will essentially be dering open war on the Prime Minister’s Mansion!"


    Though the Elixir Sect is one of Qingzhou’s Four Great Sects.


    Facing the current Prime Minister, even Xia Hou would be wary.


    Chen Xi said excitedly, "Brother Chen, I called you here this time to see you onest time. I don’t want you to offend the current Prime Minister because of me."


    "My woman, Xu Wendong, cannot marry another!" Xu Wendong said while looking at Chen Zhen, "Apologies!"


    The moment he finished speaking.


    He struck with his palm.


    Puff!


    Chen Zhen spat blood and was sent flying backward.


    "Thank you, Young Master Xu!" Chen Zhen knelt on the ground, crying bitterly. He knew that Xu Wendong hurt him deliberately to distract the Prime Minister’s Mansion’s wrath.


    Xu Wendong looked at Bai Jie, "Senior Sister Bai, let’s go back!"


    Bai Jie nodded, and the flying sword appeared beneath her feet, carrying Xu Wendong and Chen Xi and streaking as a bright rainbow towards the direction of the Elixir Sect.


    "Junior Brother Xu, your actions today will surely displease the Sect Leader. You should prepare yourself!" Bai Jie transmitted her thoughts to his soul.


    No emotion could be seen on Xu Wendong’s face, but inwardly, he was unfazed.


    Xia Hou is merely my pawn.


    Even if I openly defy the Prime Minister’s Mansion, would he dare be angry with me?
