<h4>Chapter 1306: Chapter 1303: Threat</h4>


    Xu Wendong forced himself to remain calm and said, "n Leader, it is not that the junior wished for this oue, but Chu Xingyuan always intended to eliminate me."


    "I acted out of sheer necessity."


    Mu Wanqiu’s expression betrayed no emotion: "I am indeed curious, given your capabilities, how were you able to defeat three first-level Loose Immortals?"


    Xu Wendong had anticipated Mu Wanqiu’s suspicion of him, and immediately responded, "Although this junior only has a Mahayana Realm cultivation level, in closebat, even when facing a second-level Loose Immortal, I can put up a fight."


    Mu Wanqiu snorted dismissively, "The Thunder Law is indeed formidable, but not to such an absurd extent."


    Xu Wendong hesitated for a moment before saying, "To be honest, Senior, within the Thunder Law, the junior hasprehended the Way of Thunder."


    He knew that to convince Mu Wanqiu of his words, he had to provide strong evidence.


    "You have actuallyprehended a Dao Law?" Mu Wanqiu’s heart trembled intensely; this was even more shocking than when she learned Xu Wendong had the Ancient Sacred Body.


    After all, for cultivators, only a rare few Mahayana cultivators can master the Power of Laws, and only the rarest of Immortals or Loose Immortals canprehend a specific Dao Law.


    Yet Xu Wendong was just a Mahayana Period cultivator.


    While others still dreamed of mastering the Power of Laws, he had already mastered a particr Dao Law; how could this not be shocking?


    Thinking that he was from the Yan Huang Continent, Mu Wanqiu’s inner shock subsided somewhat.


    After all.


    That ce is a ne of great fortunes.


    Taking a deep breath, Mu Wanqiu tried to calm her emotions, and couldn’t help but ask, "Is the reason Lei Nanxiang wants to dual cultivate with you because you mastered a Dao Law?"


    Upon hearing Mu Wanqiu mention Lei Nanxiang, Xu Wendong’s heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Mu Wanqiu wouldn’t mention Lei Nanxiang without reason.


    There was only one reason for her question; she doubted him again.


    Truly a woman full of doubts!


    It’s quite troubling.


    Despite this, Xu Wendong maintained hisposure, "n Leader, the reason Mr. Xu could master the Thunder System Dao Law is mainly because of you."


    Mu Wanqiu looked puzzled, "Because of me?"


    Xu Wendong expressed his gratitude, "Yes, back when Lei Nanxiang seriously injured me, he left a trace of Thunder Law within my body, and it was you who saved my life."


    "After that, the Power of Thunder helped meprehend the Thunder System Dao Law."


    At this point, he sighed, "If I had already mastered the Thunder System Dao Law on Baishi Ind, Lei Nanxiang would certainly have ordered someone to guard me, and I wouldn’t have been able to escape Baishi Ind."


    Mu Wanqiu nodded slightly, feeling that Xu Wendong’s words made sense.


    Then she changed the subject, her eyes bing cold, "Even if you have the ability to kill enemies beyond your level, and you killed three of the Mu Family’s Honored Contributors, do you not know that Chu Xingyuan was a lifesaver to me?"


    Xu Wendong answered truthfully, "I do know."


    "Since you knew, why did you still kill my savior?" Mu Wanqiu’s tone remained calm, yet she exuded an invisible anger, causing the flowers and nts in the courtyard to sway violently.


    At this moment.


    Xu Wendong felt a strong sense of oppression, almost suffocating him.


    After all.


    Mu Wanqiu was a powerful fifth-level Loose Immortal, and such beings could obliterate him with a single thought.


    Without further thought, Xu Wendong forced himself to speak despite the panic in his heart, "n Leader, Mr. Xu had a reason for killing Chu Xingyuan."


    "Firstly, he wanted to kill Mr. Xu, and Mr. Xu would not sit idly by."


    "Mr. Xu has always adhered to the principle that if people do not offend me, I do not offend them; even if I’m not as skilled, I would find a way to kill my opponent."


    "What is the second point?" Mu Wanqiu’s tone rxed a bit, as she agreed with Xu Wendong’s adherence to the principle of not offending unless offended.


    Xu Wendong nced nervously at Mu Wanqiu and whispered, "The second point concerns you."


    Mu Wanqiu furrowed her brows, "Because of me?"


    "Yes, precisely because of you." Xu Wendong gathered his courage and said, "When I first met Chu Xingyuan, we had a confrontation, afterward, Housekeeper Mu said I caused trouble, and even said that the trouble Mr. Xu caused was minor."


    "At first, Mr. Xu was unaware of what this meant."


    "But then Mr. Xu heard Chu Xingyuan mention several times that he was your lifesaver and also learned from Miss Rong’er that Chu Xingyuan, taking advantage of being your lifesaver, acted domineeringly within the Mu Family, even looking down on the members of the Mu Family."


    "At that moment, Mr. Xu understood the meaning of Housekeeper Mu’s words."


    "Even though Chu Xingyuan was your savior, he shouldn’t overstep his bounds and disrespect the Mu Family’s dignity."


    "It’s just that you, n Leader, who are kind-hearted and value emotions and righteousness, have always turned a blind eye."


    Mu Wanqiu’s face showed a meaningful smile, "So, you helped me eliminate Chu Xingyuan?"


    Even though Mu Wanqiu’s smile was charming and enigmatic, Xu Wendong felt a chill all over.


    He hurriedly said, "No, no, Mr. Xu misspoke, please forgive me, n Leader!"


    "The reason Mr. Xu killed Chu Xingyuan was not to help you."


    "But because he shouldn’t have provoked Mr. Xu, this has nothing to do with you, n Leader." Lowering his head nervously as he spoke.


    Mu Wanqiu said coldly, "Though you had a reason for killing Chu Xingyuan, he remains my lifesaver, and you shall be punished with a hundred years of sry!"


    Hearing this, Xu Wendong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you, n Leader, for sparing my life. Mr. Xu will remember it in his heart and will refine more elixirs to repay the n Leader’s kindness and recognition."


    "This matter is now concluded; do not bring it up again in the future!" Mu Wanqiu said nonchntly, then continued, "Take a rest first, and tomorrow apany me to Baishi Ind."


    Xu Wendong’s heart trembled suddenly, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Why go to Baishi Ind?"


    Mu Wanqiu’s lips curled into an alluring smile, "Naturally, to meet Lei Nanxiang! Let her see that the man she desires has be an Honored Contributor of our Mu Family."


    Xu Wendong nervously swallowed, feeling a panic like never before, for Lei Nanxiang had long since left Baishi Ind.


    If Mu Wanqiu takes him to Baishi Ind and they don’t find her there, she will surely grow suspicious.


    Thus.


    He must stop Mu Wanqiu from going to Baishi Ind.


    Without further thought, Xu Wendong said, with a troubled expression, "n Leader, could the trip to Baishi Ind be dyed for a while?"


    Mu Wanqiu asked, "Why?"


    Xu Wendong sighed and said, "Mr. Xu said before, I am someone who always avenges my grudges. I wish to find Lei Nanxiang myself once I grow stronger."


    "If I go with you to Baishi Ind and let you stand up for me, wouldn’t that be borrowing power unworthily?"


    He said this with a face full of righteous indignation, "Relying on a woman to stand up for me, how is it different from bing Lei Nanxiang’s male pet?"


    "If the n Leader insists on going to Baishi Ind, then Mr. Xu can only leave the Mu Family and part ways with you!"
