<h4>Chapter 1190: Chapter 1187: Crisis Descends</h4>


    Xu Wendong had no idea what methods the King of Nanhuang might use against him.


    The only thing he could do was to strive to enhance his cultivation level.


    Only in this way could he remain unchanged in the face of changing circumstances.


    At the same time.


    The Lu Family had also restarted their seafood business, transporting seafood from the Western Sea Fishing Grounds to a location on the border between Carefree City and Qingcheng County. After a transfer, it reached Qingcheng County.


    In fact, the Lu Family had no connections in Langya Country, so if they wanted to firmly establish themselves here, it was clearly very difficult.


    However.


    Chu Huanyan sent out Chunzhu.


    Although Chunzhu was a servant, many people knew she was the chief butler of the Princess Mansion.


    She helped promote the Lu family’s seafood, and what this meant went without saying.


    To themon people, seafood was rare and unfamiliar.


    Even without the Princess Mansion’s endorsement, ordinary people had a curious mindset and wanted to buy it to try it out.


    After tasting it.


    The people of Langya Country were instantly amazed, feeling the seafood was extraordinary, and its sales skyrocketed, showing a trend of demand exceeding supply.


    ------


    The fact that Xu Wendong was transporting seafood to Langya Country for sale naturally reached the King of Nanhuang’s ears.


    "Damn it!"


    "Damn it!"


    "He should be sliced into pieces; only then can it vent this king’s killing intent!" The King of Nanhuang was furious, initially thinking that prohibiting the sale of seafood would give him leverage over Xu Wendong, causing him to willingly hand over the usage rights of the Western Sea Fishing Grounds.


    But he never imagined that Xu Wendong would actually transport seafood to Langya Country for sale.


    This move was one he hadn’t anticipated.


    "Your Highness need not be angry; I have a n to disrupt Xu Wendong’s trade with Langya Country!" Yin Zhongsuo’s face showed an insidious smile.


    The King of Nanhuang suppressed his inner anger and said, "Let’s hear it!"


    Yin Zhongsuo grinned, "All we need to do is destroy Xu Wendong’s teleportation array at the border of Carefree City; they will be unable to transport seafood, and their business will inevitably be obstructed!"


    "At that time, Xu Wendong will definitely appear to repair the teleportation array."


    "And Your Highness can lie in wait, giving him a fatal strike when he shows up to repair the teleportation array."


    The King of Nanhuang’s eyes lit up.


    Indeed, he had always wanted to kill Xu Wendong to vent his anger.


    However.


    Xu Wendong was growing too fast.


    If he openly went to Carefree City to kill him, it would surely incite public outrage.


    Even though he was the high-standing Nine Pearls Prince of the ckwater Kingdom, many troubles woulde his way.


    On the contrary.


    If he got rid of Xu Wendong invisibly, even if people suspected him, without evidence, they would not dare to do anything!


    "Let’s proceed as you said!"


    ------


    "My Lord, something’s happened, something’s happened!"


    Xu Wendong was cultivating when suddenly there were urgent footsteps outside the door, and at the same time, a middle-aged man’s anxious voice.


    Xu Wendong’s face changed, and he immediately pushed the door open and went out, asking, "What happened?"


    A government runner’s face was pale with fear as he said, "The third teleportation array you set up had a malfunction, and all five hundred workers responsible for transporting seafood have all..."


    Xu Wendong’s pupils trembled fiercely, "All what?"


    The middle-aged government runner’s face was full of grief, "They all died, turned into a bloody mist by the teleportation array!"


    Boom!


    A simple sentence.


    Like a bolt from the blue, making Xu Wendong’s scalp tingle.


    He never dreamed that the teleportation array he arranged would kill over five hundred innocent townsfolk.


    He felt immense guilt.


    It was as if his heart was being shed by a knife.


    Even though he had killed countless people.


    The people he killed were all viins with numerous crimes.


    In his life, he had never killed an innocent townsfolk.


    "Have Chief Registrar Chu firstfort the families of the victims, I’m going to the third teleportation array now!" Xu Wendong soared into the sky, flying towards the third teleportation array at the border between Carefree City and Qingcheng County as fast as possible.


    Upon arriving above the third teleportation array, Xu Wendong clearly smelled a faint scent of blood in the air, and the ground was scattered with dismembered limbs.


    And countless seafood.


    At this moment, the yamen runners guarding the teleportation array were clearing the dismembered limbs on the ground.


    Seeing this scene.


    Xu Wendong felt extremely heavy-hearted; he never anticipated such an event would ur.


    He should have known, as he had a certain proficiency in formations, and the formations he set up wouldn’t have such problems.


    "Were there any anomalies before the teleportation array malfunctioned?" Xu Wendongnded on the ground, asking a middle-aged man, who was a yamen runner stationed there to guard the teleportation array.


    The middle-aged man hurriedly replied, "My Lord, there were no anomalies before the teleportation array malfunctioned. Just as those fishermen were about to arrive, the teleportation array suddenly started shaking violently, and then it disintegrated." As he spoke, a fearful expression appeared on his face.


    For he clearly remembered.


    The screams and wails of the fishermen when the teleportation array shook.


    Especially their helpless, desperate, and unwilling expressions, like a knife stabbing into his heart, nearly suffocating him.


    They were just one step away from exiting the teleportation array.


    Yet this single step blocked their path forward.


    This step determined their life and death.


    Xu Wendong took a deep breath, striving to calm his emotions, then began examining along the formation base carefully.


    Though the teleportation array had malfunctioned, the formation base could still provide answers.


    For instance.


    Why the formation suddenly copsed.


    However.


    The formation base was enormous, and checking it all would take a lot of time.


    Eventually.


    Xu Wendong discovered that a cornerstone in the formation base was missing, and some powder-like substance had appeared around it.


    "The cornerstone blew up?"


    Xu Wendong furrowed his brow, finding it somewhat inconceivable.


    Not to mention his minor aplishments in formations, even a novice would first check the spirit stones for ws when setting up formations.


    If a wed spirit stone was encountered, it would be picked out.


    Because using a wed spirit stone as a formation base would lead to many mishaps.


    First.


    The formation couldn’t be activated.


    Second.


    Even if it was reluctantly activated, it wouldn’tst long.


    Evidently.


    Xu Wendong wouldn’t make such a fatal mistake.


    The reason for saying this is not blind confidence, because if there were a problem with the formation base, there would be a series of precursors while the formation was operating.


    And the workers guarding the formation would see these signs and could halt the formation’s operation.


    But the previous yamen runner said there weren’t any anomalies before the formation disintegrated.


    Thus, it can be ruled out that the formation disintegration was not idental.


    But someone deliberately did so.


    The opponent was very powerful, destroying the formation base silently, causing the formation to disintegrate.


    Upon thinking this.


    A shiver ran down Xu Wendong’s spine, a feeling like being pierced in the back rose within him!
