Chapter 1836: Chapter 1833: Scandal of the Prestigious Family
"You can leave now, since my brother’s matter has nothing to do with you, I won’t trouble you in the future." Zhao Ying’er kept her head down, her voice tinged with a hint of melancholy, as she never dared to look Xu Wendong in the eye again.
"Alright then, take care of your injuries, I’m leaving now." Xu Wendong nodded, turned, and walked toward the mountain.
His steps seemed steady, yet his heart harbored a tinge of complex emotions.
Watching Xu Wendong’s departing figure, an inexplicable sense of loss surged in Zhao Ying’er’s heart.
She herself didn’t understand why she suddenly felt so restless.
Xu Wendong seemed to have a special constitution; just one encounter with him could boost her cultivation level.
Yet, for the sake of her dignity, she let Xu Wendong go with her own hands.
She knew that in the future, if she wished to break through her cultivation level again, it would be increasingly difficult.
Xu Wendong continued ascending along the winding mountain path.
From a distance, Ancient Pan Mountain appeared small, but once you started climbing, you realized how steep the terrain truly was.
The path was treacherous, with thorny bushes occasionally brushing against his clothes.
After walking for half a day, Xu Wendong felt he hadn’t made much progress.
At this time, the disciples of the Lin, Huang, and Zhao Families had yet to reach the summit.
On the way, Xu Wendong encountered some people.
However, relying on his keen senses and agile skills, he cleverly hid in the forest and didn’t cause any trouble.
Yet, as he steadily advanced, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He keenly heard a faint sound coming from a nearby forest.
"Ying’er, the view here is quite nice; why not stay here?" A somewhat eager male voice came, carrying a hint of ambiguity.
"Cousin, this isn’t right, is it? This is the only path to climb the mountain; if someone finds out..." Immediately, a gentle female voice replied with a hint of hesitation and concern.
Xu Wendong instantly recognized the voice as Huang Ying’s.
A strange look flashed in his eyes; the host’s body seemed extremely sensitive to this voice, perhaps because of a past engagement with Huang Ying.
"Huang Family’s? That woman hired an assassin to kill me, so malicious; if she’s unscrupulous, then I won’t show mercy!" Xu Wendong’s pupils contracted fiercely, and a strong killing intent instantly surfaced in his eyes.
To him, the Huang Family already harbored malice toward him; killing them wouldn’t cause any trouble, and he was fearless.
He quietly leaped onto a sturdy tree, its branches strong enough to support his body.
He carefully checked in the direction from which the sounds came.
Soon, what he saw shocked him greatly.
He saw Huang Ying squatting on the ground, with something limp in her mouth.
The owner of that thing turned out to be the Heavenly Nether Sect disciple he had seen before, Huang Family’s prodigy Huang Huntuo!
"Oh my! This is explosive?" Xu Wendong exclaimed inwardly, his eyes wide in disbelief.
He couldn’t help but sigh; Huang Ying was indeed too promiscuous.
She initially seduced his host into an engagement, then became tangled with Lin Feng, and also had a devoted suitor, Zhao Mo.
Now, in her own Huang Family, she was having an affair with her cousin?
Such deeds were utterly scandalous!
"Ying’er, you’ve regressed." Huang Huntuo frowned slightly, showing a hint of displeasure.
He wondered why he still felt soft and had no sensation.
He felt Huang Ying’s "power" seemed insufficient.
Huang Ying swallowed a few times, showing a pitiful expression, and said softly, "Ying’er is wrong; I got distracted just now."
"Cousin, don’t worry; I will make you comfortable." Saying that, Huang Ying, despite her mouth already feeling numb, continued to swallow the "small worm."
Huang Huntuo squinted slightly, showing an expression of enjoyment, leisurely relishing Huang Ying’s service.
Yet, in reality, Huang Ying was extremely disgusted by Huang Huntuo.
Huang Huntuo was naturally weak in Yang energy and full of Yin energy, having difficulty becoming erect, and always ended things quickly, yet repeatedly asked if he was good or not.
If not for Huang Huntuo’s outstanding cultivation talent—as a disciple of the Heavenly Nether Sect—bringing back numerous precious miraculous elixirs monthly, which supported the development of the Huang Family and even Huang Ying’s current cultivation level relying on Huang Huntuo’s assistance, Huang Ying would hardly bother with him.
Currently, Huang Ying couldn’t tear her face with Huang Huntuo, so she could only serve him with utmost diligence.
Their sordid affair was all seen by Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong sighed inwardly; this trip to Ancient Pan Mountain was worthwhile, with immense gains, even discovering such secret affairs.
"If I directly exposed this, the Huang Family would be utterly humiliated." Xu Wendong thought to himself, a sly smile appearing on his face.
"Right, isn’t Lin Feng involved with Huang Ying? If he finds out about this..." Xu Wendong’s mouth curled up, his smile growing brighter.
He had already made up his mind; the competition for the Nether Pool at the summit would inevitably be intense.
Those so-called prodigies—all possessed high cultivation levels.
Although Xu Wendong was confident he wouldn’t fear them one-on-one, facing their combined assault would be troublesome.
Thus, he needed to find a way to divide them.
And now, wasn’t this the perfect opportunity?
Thinking about this, Xu Wendong’s eyes flashed with determination, and he immediately sprang into action.
------
The disciples of the Three Great Families scattered across the forest, searching in the depths of Ancient Pan Mountain.
Their eyes sharply scanned every inch of the land, attempting to find precious herbs and spiritual objects hidden in the mountain.
Each contest for Ancient Pan Mountain was like a brutal survival competition; many would lose their lives, and only one person would ultimately win the Nether Pool spot.
One in thirty.
This slim chance made some people weigh their options; to avoid returning empty-handed, many chose to pick some medicinal herbs.
After all, every herb brought back counted as a contribution to their family.
Xu Wendong, with meticulous thought, had long grasped this situation.
During the journey, relying on his knowledge of medicinal herbs and keen observation, he had collected many rare herbs.
Now, these herbs were about to play an unexpected role.
In an hour, Xu Wendong cautiously placed many carefully selected herbs along the winding mountain path.
These herbs emitted unique fragrances, like invisible bait, quietly attracting the attention of disciples from the Three Great Families!
