<h4>Chapter 1435: Chapter 1432: Make Him Pay for His Blood Debt</h4>


    Wang Chen weakly stood up, sped his hands in gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Brother Xu, for your righteous intervention in helping me break free from the entanglement of the Evil Power; otherwise, my life would be in peril!"


    Although he verbally thanked Xu Wendong, his expression was quiteplicated.


    He once thought he was the second best in the world.


    But now he realizes.


    He’s not even ranked second...


    Xu Wendong looked towards the group of cultivators who had lost their minds due to the Evil Power, reached out his palm, and instantly, purple lightning appeared in the void.


    Those purple lightning bolts, like giant pythons from the Netherworld, rampaged crazily in the sky, each flicker carrying the terrifying power to tear space apart.


    Each bolt of lightning emanated the purest power between heaven and earth, controlled by Xu Wendong as if they were extensions of his own hands. They intertwined and collided in the air, creating deafening booms as if they were about to devour the entire world.


    As they streaked through the air, the ces they passed were scorched, leaving behind pitch-ck trails.


    When they struck the cultivators who had lost their minds, they burst into brilliant light, as if purifying all evil.


    The cultivators hit by the lightning were instantly overwhelmed by the terrifying power, their bodies feeling as if cut by thousands of sharp des, in unbearable pain.


    But fortunately, the Vitality Power within the Wood Law was also present in the lightning, protecting the lives of the cultivators at the critical moment, allowing them to break free from the constraints of the Evil Power.


    Witnessing this scene.


    Everyone showed expressions of astonishment, not expecting Xu Wendong’s power to be this formidable.


    "The cultivators of Daqian Kingdom are here!"


    At this moment.


    A cold voice came from afar, and hundreds of cultivators gathered together like a dark cloud, exuding a murderous aura, creating a strong sense of oppression.


    The leader of the group stood tall, like a Divine Sword piercing the sky.


    He wore a deep blue robe as dark as the night sky, with sleeves that floated in the wind, exuding an extraordinary and unworldly aura.


    His features were sharp, like a meticulously crafted piece of art, with sword-like eyebrows nting into his temples, radiating heroism, his starry eyes shimmering as if he could see through the mysteries of the world.


    Most striking was the jade flute he gently held in his hand. This flute was as warm as jade, its luster soft, emitting a faint gentle light, seemingly containing some mysterious power.


    He was the first among the younger generation of the Cultivation World, possessing the Great Ascension Peak cultivation levelparable to an eighth-grade Scatter Immortal — Lan Que!


    "Daoist Lan Que, Wang Chen killed three thousand cultivators of our Yun Country, I implore you to uphold justice for us!" A young man red at Wang Chen with a face full of anger.


    Cann Country, one of the Eight Great Top Cultivation Nations.


    Although Cann Country also had a peerless Heavenly Pride, their strength was far inferior to Wang Chen, who defeated them earlier.


    "Indeed, Wang Chen and his followers havemitted heinous deeds, murdering numerous cultivators, they must pay with their lives!"


    "Let him pay with his life!"


    Angry roars echoed through the air, and many people looked at Wang Chen with undisguised fury in their eyes, filled with the urge to tear him to pieces.


    Only by doing so could they vent their hatred and killing intent!


    Wang Chen, full of grief, flew into the air and bowed to everyone, saying, "I am aware of the grave mistake I’ve made and am willing to take responsibility for it!"


    A cultivator from Daqian Kingdom flew into the air and loudly said, "This has nothing to do with the Second Prince. We were the ones who lost our minds under the influence of the Evil Power, leading to us attacking our own people!"


    "Indeed, we are also victims."


    "Entering the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm itself carries enormous risk, and there are not a few people who fight over treasures. Why don’t you trouble those people instead of targeting our prince?"


    The cultivators of Daqian Kingdom had cold eyes, remaining unflustered even in the face of thousands of opponents.


    Li Zheng also flew into the air and said, "Brother Lan Que, the cultivators of Daqian Kingdom were indeed controlled by the Evil Power earlier. Although they killed many people, they too are victims."


    Li Zheng was also a victim, but he didn’t let hatred cloud his mind, for he knew that anyone who lost their mind under the influence of the Evil Power would undergo a drastic change in character, leading them to extreme actions.


    This has happened before in the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm.


    Lan Que’s voice slowly rose, "If what you say is true, then how did Wang Chen manage to break free from the control of the Evil Power?"


    His voice was calm, but his eyes carried a hint of doubt.


    "It’s all thanks to Brother Xu," Li Zheng replied with a smile, "Brother Xu, with his extraordinary strength, used the Power of Thunder to help Brother Wang regain rity."


    Lan Que immediately looked at Xu Wendong, his eyes bing intensely fervent.


    He knew.


    If it weren’t for that person mentioned by Li Zheng, it would have been impossible to defeat Wang Chen and help them regain rity.


    "I’ve heard of Brother Xu’s feats before, and seeing him today, he truly is a dragon among men!" Lan Que shed a subtle smile on his face, "I’ve heard of your unparalleled strength, Brother Xu,parable to the ancients. Might I have the honor of sparring with you?"


    As the foremost of the younger generation, Lan Que was a warlike individual.


    But s.


    He had no opponents.


    Now upon seeing Xu Wendong, he naturally felt a strong itch to challenge him.


    Xu Wendong smiled and shook his head, "Brother Lan Que is the number one among the younger generation in the Cultivation World, how could Mr. Xu be your match? Better not topete!"


    Lan Que slightly frowned, a smile of intrigue shing in his eyes, "Could it be that Brother Xu is afraid?"


    Xu Wendong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."


    Lan Que was taken aback. He had intended to use provocation to get Xu Wendong to agree to a spar.


    But unexpectedly.


    This guy didn’t seem to care about winning or losing.


    This made him feel a strong sense of frustration.


    His mindset had be strong enough not to care about winning or losing.


    Yet he still cared about it.


    The gap between their realms was more than just a little!


    Xu Wendong looked towards the sky, his voice calm, "The path of cultivation is fraught with countless dangers, hardships, and challenges. We do not spend our lives trying to surpass others but... to continuously surpass ourselves!"


    Hearing these words.


    Lan Que’s pupils suddenly trembled as if he had been enlightened.


    All along, he had been striving to surpass others, also feeling emptiness because no one could be his opponent.


    And now it seemed.


    He was wrong.


    Gravely mistaken.


    He should not surpass others, but himself!


    Others were also shocked by Xu Wendong’s words, their scalps tingling, looking at him with a newfound fear in their eyes.


    Such terrifying power.


    Perhaps it was rted to his continuous self-surpassing!


    "Everyone, Mr. Xu has other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first!" Xu Wendong said before rising into the sky and disappearing from everyone’s sight.


    His purpose for entering the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm had been fulfilled.


    Now it was time to leave and prepare for his tribtion!
