Eunuch Li was sent flying by a palm strike, blood gushing from his mouth: "Your Majesty, save me!"


    "Xu Wendong, what is the meaning of this?" Shen Qingzheng''s face was expressionless, but a trace of anger shed in his eyes.


    He didn''t particrly like Xu Wendong.


    This one was too arrogant and didn''t regard him at all.


    And now he had attacked the eunuch who had followed him for many years; how could he not be angry?


    Xu Wendong sensed the anger in Shen Qingzheng''s heart, but he remained calm and said lightly: "I''m merely helping Your Majesty to uncover the undercover agent of the Yin Corpse Sect who has been lurking by your side for years!"


    "What?" Zhao Xuantong was taken aback, his face full of astonishment: "Eunuch Li is an undercover agent for the Yin Corpse Sect?"


    Shen Qingzheng''s pupils trembled violently; he couldn''t believe Xu Wendong''s words.


    Xu Wendong waved his right hand, and Eunuch Li''s body slowly floated before him. He grabbed the man''s neck with one hand: "Not long after I joined the Yin Corpse Sect, their strong members received intelligence that I was an undercover agent sent by the Imperial Family. Don''t you find this too suspicious?"


    "Moreover, Eunuch Li wanted to flee as soon as he saw me, which clearly shows a guilty conscience."


    Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzheng''s expression became ferocious, realizing that very few knew Xu Wendong''s true identity, including Eunuch Li.


    Besides him, there were Shen Qingzheng, State Preceptor Zhao Xuantong, Fei Yan, and Hong Luan.


    Shen Qingzheng''s and Zhao Xuantong''s long-cherished wish was to eliminate the malignant tumor that was the Yin Corpse Sect and bring peace to Lingyou Country''s Cultivation World.


    Fei Yan and Hong Luan were Xu Wendong''s confidantes and naturally wouldn''t betray Xu Wendong''s identity.


    By process of elimination.


    It was evident that there was no one else besides Eunuch Li.


    At the same time.


    They also realized why the Yin Corpse Sect couldn''t be eliminated.


    Imagine, if even Shen Qingzheng had an undercover agent from the Yin Corpse Sect by his side, how could they root it outpletely?


    "Li Zhen, I have not treated you badly, why do you bite the hand that feeds you?" Shen Qingzheng said with eyes popping with fury, unable to ept that there was a Yin Corpse Sect undercover agent by his side.


    And it was even the eunuch serving him!


    At this point, Eunuch Li no longer pretended and forced a smile: "This is my destiny."


    Shen Qingzheng took a deep breath and whispered: "Xu Wendong, kill this guy for me!"


    "Creak!"


    Xu Wendong decisively crushed Eunuch Li''s neck and, at that moment, a surge of Power of Thunder entered his body, killing him on the spot!


    Afterward, Xu Wendong casually tossed Eunuch Li''s body out of Yangxin Hall.


    "Friend Xu, have you returned this time to eliminate the Yin Corpse Sect?" Zhao Xuantong looked nervously toward Xu Wendong, eyes full of expectation.


    Shen Qingzheng was also full of curiosity.


    Xu Wendong responded casually: "I was just lucky, so I returned safely without danger!"


    Although his tone was very calm.


    Whether it was Shen Qingzheng or Zhao Xuantong, their hearts surged with immense waves.


    Because they knew the terrifying nature of the Yin Corpse Sect.


    Yet they hadn''t expected that Xu Wendong would actually manage to eradicate it single-handedly!


    One can only imagine how perilous the process was!


    Shen Qingzheng came to his senses and said with a smile: "As per our previous agreement, as long as you participate in the Hundred Nations Heavenly Pride Tournament as a Cultivator of Lingyou Country, I will marry Fei Yan to you."


    Saying this, a ck token flew out from his hand: "This is the token of our country''s participating disciple in the Hundred Nations Heavenly Pride Tournament. Our Lingyou Country will send ten cultivators to participate, apart from you, there are nine others."


    "The remaining nine will have their identities confirmed before the tournament, and you''ll meet them then."


    "You can return to the Princess Mansion to wait."


    Xu Wendong put away the token and then said: "Your Majesty, can I take Fei Yan with me to Shangqing Country first? When the Hundred Nations Heavenly Pride Tournament begins, I''ll return to meet with the cultivators from Lingyou Country!"


    He wanted to go to Shangqing Country to look into clues regarding Xu Fan and others, and see if he could encounter the other three confidantes from the Demon Realm.


    Shen Qingzheng: "Granted!"


    Seeing that Xu Wendong seemed to have more to say, Shen Qingzheng said: "You all may leave, I have some words to exchange with Xu Wendong."


    "Yes!"


    Hongying and Fei Yan, along with Zhao Xuantong, bowed and left Shen Qingzheng''s chamber.


    Shen Qingzheng''s formerly cold expression softened, giving him a more approachable appearance: "Ask whatever you wish!"


    Xu Wendong got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I want to know the difference between a First-Level Cultivation Country and a Second-Level Cultivation Nation."


    Xu Wendong had always been curious about how First, Second, and Third-Level Cultivation countries were ssified.


    Shen Qingzheng replied: "The difference between Second and Third-Level Cultivation Nations is not significant, mainly the poption of the people and overall economy."


    "But there is a vast difference between First-Level and Second-Level Cultivation Nations."


    "Because each First-Level Cultivation Country possesses a National Treasure Artifact, those eight artifacts originate from the ancient Origin Land."


    Xu Wendong''s heart was stirred, and he quickly asked: "What are the eight artifacts Your Majesty mentioned?"


    Shen Qingzheng: "Eight Ding!"


    "Wait!" Xu Wendong''s eyes were full of doubt: "Eight Ding? Does the Origin Land have eight ding?"


    He understood Earth''s civilization more than anyone in the Cultivation World, so when Shen Qingzheng mentioned the Eight Ding, a big question mark popped up in his mind.


    Shen Qingzheng replied gravely: "Actually, there were originally Nine Tripod Cauldrons; our Human Great Power opened the Cultivation World and used the Nine Tripod Cauldrons to maintain the Heaven and Earth Laws of this world."


    "But afterward, one of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, the Yanzhou Cauldron, mysteriously disappeared."


    Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong immediately felt his scalp tingle.


    Because···


    The Yanzhou Cauldron was in his Storage Space.


    Shen Qingzheng sighed helplessly: "The Yanzhou Cauldron is the leader among the Nine Tripod Cauldrons. Ever since it vanished, the Eight Human Supremes have been deeply concerned, and over the years, they''ve been searching for the Yanzhou Cauldron but found no clues!"


    Xu Wendong was full of curiosity: "The Yanzhou Cauldron is the leader of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons?"


    Shen Qingzheng: "Great Yu controlled the floods and unified the Nine Provinces. The source of the flooding was the Si River, which originates in Yanzhou, so the Yanzhou Cauldron is recognized as the leader of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons."


    "As long as someone finds the Yanzhou Cauldron and refines it, they qualify to unify the Human Race!"


    Xu Wendong''s heart was unsettled; he never expected that the Yanzhou Cauldron acquired in the Yin Corpse Sect would have such an extraordinary and significant background.


    Taking a deep breath, Xu Wendong calmed his emotions and asked another question: "Your Majesty, I have another question: why do Human Cultivators choose to cultivate as Loose Immortals instead of ascending to the Immortal Realm?"


    Shen Qingzheng shook his head: "This question I also have no answer for; perhaps only the Eight Human Supremes know the reason!"


    Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow and couldn''t help but ask: "Could this be rted to the Formation of the Lock Heaven Great Formation that imprisons the Demon Race in the Demon Realm by the Human Cultivators?"
