<h4>Chapter 1503: Chapter 1500: Take Good Care of My Wife</h4>
Chu Xiong’s eyes were filled with terror.
At this moment, he was utterly panicked, able to feel an indescribable power wreaking havoc within his body.
Wherever that power reached, his body lost all vitality.
Intense despair spread in Chu Xiong’s heart as he continuously tried to expel that force from his body.
But no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.
"I am unwilling!"
Chu Xiong let out a furious roar, his body gradually turning into ashes, vanishing into the world.
At the moment of his death.
He still didn’t know what that power was.
"Died just like that?" Xue Yan stared wide-eyed, speechless, as Chu Xiong’s body vanished before her eyes. After all, he was a master at the peak of the True Immortal Realm!
Moreover, he had cultivated the techniques of the Other Races.
His strength was not to be underestimated.
And now.
He died miserably at the hands of Xu Wendong.
"Cough, cough... I can inform Master of this event now!" Chen Ye’s weak voice sounded again, his face full of weakness, but his eyes showed a hint of a faint smile.
As if he saw his master summoning him.
Saw many familiar fellow disciples.
"Junior Brother Xu, do you have any way to save my husband?" Xue Yan looked at Xu Wendong with a face full of helplessness.
Xu Wendong shook his head powerlessly.
The Wood Element Path is indeed powerful, capable of bringing people back to life, but it’s limited to the physical body.
He could not heal injuries to the soul.
Chen Ye looked at Xu Wendong, his tone slightly urgent: "Brother Xu, remember you once promised to take care of my wife..."
"I hope you keep your word... Otherwise... Even as a ghost, I won’t spare you..." As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes in Xue Yan’s embrace, lying quietly as if asleep.
Xue Yan was grief-stricken, holding her husband tightly, unable to stop crying.
Unexpectedly, a Level 4 Task could cost her husband’s life.
At this moment.
Outside, the sky had brightened.
"Senior Sister, please be strong!" Xu Wendong didn’t know how tofort Xue Yan and softly said: "Although the scenery here is damaged, it won’t be long before it bes a wondend."
"I think we should bury Brother Chen Ye here!"
Xue Yan nodded slightly, trying to endure the pain of her husband’s departure, and then dug a pit on the ground, reluctantly burying her husband here.
She also erected a monument.
After finishing all this, she took onest look at the tombstone with reluctance, then decisively turned and left.
Some things.
Once they happen, you must learn to ept them.
Even if someone you love deeply has left this world.
Those were the words her husband used tofort her when Lingyan Pavilion was destroyed, which she always kept in her heart.
"Senior Sister Xue Yan, let me control the Magical Treasure!" Xu Wendong’s voice echoed in midair. Xue Yan was clearly out of it, and the Magical Treasure’s flying speed was very slow.
At the current speed, it would take at least two days and nights to return to the Underground City.
Xue Yan forced a smile: "Thank you, Junior Brother." With that, she released the control of the Magical Treasure, allowing Xu Wendong to steer it towards Yun Meng City in the west.
Whoosh!
Under Xu Wendong’s control, the Magical Treasure flew swiftly, bursting into a faint sound of cutting through the wind, slicing through the sky, disappearing beneath the vast heavens.
Finally.
By sunset, Xu Wendong and Xue Yan returned to the Underground City.
At the moment they returned to the Underground City.
Xu Wendong felt a small sense of security, feeling somewhat relieved to be back here.
The two first went to Tianji Pavilion, submitted the relics of Master Yu Xu obtained at Yuxu Cave,pleted their task, and each received a thousand Contribution Points.
Then, the two left Tianji Pavilion, and Xu Wendong looked at the dispirited Xue Yan beside him, softly saying: "Senior Sister Xue Yan,e back with me!"
Xue Yan was about to speak when she saw Lu Shuling, in a white long dress, emanating Immortal Energy and stunningly beautiful, flying towards them. Her face was filled with tension as she looked at Xu Wendong and Xue Yan, her clear and lively eyes showing anxiety: "Third Senior Sister, I... I heard it’s just you and Junior Brother Xu who returned?"
"Where is First Senior Brother? Why hasn’t hee back?"
Upon hearing this.
Xue Yan’s emotions instantly lost control, and she threw herself into Lu Shuling’s arms and cried, unable to speak.
Her voice revealed uncontroble sorrow and pain.
Hearing Third Senior Sister’s cries, Lu Shuling’s pupils trembled sharply, and a strong sense of pain rose in her heart.
She knew for certain that First Senior Brother had encountered an ident.
Or else, only Third Senior Sister and Xu Wendong would not have returned.
"Third Senior Sister, don’t cry, let’s go home first!" Lu Shuling wiped the tears from the corner of her eye and tightly held Third Senior Sister’s hand, leading her back home.
Perhaps due to excessive sadness, or maybe from crying too much.
After returning to Lu Shuling’s house, Xue Yan fell asleep in bed, curled up, appearing so helpless, evoking sympathy.
After settling Xue Yan, Lu Shuling brought Xu Wendong to the courtyard, unable to resist asking: "Husband, what exactly happened? Why didn’t First Senior Brothere back?"
Xu Wendong looked helpless and said: "As soon as we entered Yuxu Cave, we encountered arge group of Otherworldly Demons, too many in number..."
He recounted the events at Yuxu Cave.
"What? That bastard Chu Xiong is still alive?" Learning that Chu Xiong led the Otherworldly Demons to attack Xu Wendong and others, Lu Shuling’s heart was filled with a strong killing intent.
Because she could never forget that the reason her father was overwhelmed by the strong of the Other Races was that Chu Xiong stabbed her father in the back. It was precisely that stab that led to her father’s tragic death and being devoured by the Three-headed Demon Wolf.
I thought Chu Xiong would certainly end poorly after defecting to the Other Races, but unexpectedly he not only survived but also became a peak master of the True Immortal Realm.
"Afterwards, I used the Formation to trap the Otherworldly Demons, but my Soul Force was limited, and I couldn’t hold on until dawn." Saying this, Xu Wendong showed a difficult expression.
Lu Shuling curiously asked: "And then?"
Xu Wendong initially didn’t want to reveal the special nature of his cultivation technique, but remembering Chen Ye’s dying entrustment, he took a deep breath, steeled himself, and said: "The cultivation technique I practice is somewhat special; to quickly recover my Soul Force, I need to engage in Dual Cultivation with a woman."
"Uh..." Lu Shuling was bewildered: "So, you engaged in Dual Cultivation with Third Senior Sister?"
She couldn’t believe her husband actually got involved with Third Senior Sister.
Xu Wendong awkwardly nodded: "It was Third Senior Sister who proposed it, and First Senior Brother agreed because if I didn’t engage in Dual Cultivation with her, we all would’ve died."
"While I was engaging in Dual Cultivation with Third Senior Sister, Chu Xiong’s taunts provoked First Senior Brother to reveal a w in anger, leading the Otherworldly Demons to charge in."
"Not only that, he also destroyed First Senior Brother’s Lifebound Immortal Artifact and severely injured his soul."
Lu Shuling worked hard to digest this matter; after a moment, she nervously asked: "What happened afterward? How did you escape from Chu Xiong?"
Xu Wendong: "After I killed Chu Xiong, the sky brightened, then I brought Third Senior Sister back."
Lu Shuling felt her scalp tingle as she looked at Xu Wendong, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment: "What? You killed Chu Xiong?"
