After sending the ssage,
Xu Wendong crushed the Butcher’s phone and casually discarded it in the mountains.
A subtle, enigmatic smile appeared on his face.
This reminded him of sothing from his childhood,
an unforgettable mory etched in his mind.
As a child, he lived on the west side of the village, and the school was on the east. Every day, when he passed through the village to go to school, a stray dog would chase him.
At first, he was very scared and even dared not to go to school.
But not going wasn’t an option; the old man would whip him.
Even if he cried and complained about the dog chasing him, the old man said it was his problem, and he needed to solve it himself. It couldn’t be an excuse not to go to school.
So,
after much inner turmoil, he finally decided to confront the dog.
On that drizzly morning, when the dog chased him,
for the first ti, he didn’t run. He pulled out a kitchen knife from his backpack, which he had prepared in advance, and charged at the stray dog, chasing it around the village three tis.
Although he missed the morning class and got a beating from the teacher, he managed to corner the stray dog in a dead-end and chopped off its head.
He no longer rembered how he felt at the ti, nor the pain of the beating from the horoom teacher.
But to this day, he could recall how delicious the dog at hotpot was that night.
It was undoubtedly the best dog at hotpot he ever had!!!
And now,
the Life-Seeking Sect watched him like a tiger eyeing its prey, waiting for the chance to assassinate him, much like how the stray dog used to chase him as a child!
Precisely because of this,
Xu Wendong decided to use the Obsidian Ring as bait to lure out people from the Life-Seeking Sect and catch them all at once.
After all, Qingshan Village was a paradise rich in spiritual energy.
He still planned to cultivate here and unlock a few more won. He didn’t have ti to fight the Life-Seeking Sect!
Fighting them was nowhere near as interesting as dealing with won.

[Purgatory] This WeChat group had only a few mbers, including the Butcher, just twelve in total.
They were all core mbers of the Life-Seeking Sect.
However, this group rarely had ssages; almost everyone was lurking.
The previous ssage was sent by the Butcher: "Always knew that Han Qing and Du Qiu were not up to the task, killing Xu Wendong is sothing I have to handle personally!"
"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Xu Wendong tonight."
Arrogant words, and everyone assud the Butcher would surely complete the mission.
After all, his strength ranked him among the top assassins of the Life-Seeking Sect.
But,
no one expected that previously boasting about taking care of Xu Wendong,
the next ssage ca from Xu Wendong using the Butcher’s phone.
Especially after seeing the ssage Xu Wendong sent and that photo, everyone was instantly unsettled.
The group leader, "A Single Leaf Heralds Autumn," spoke excitedly, "Sect Leader’s token, this is the Sect Leader’s token. How did it end up with Xu Wendong? Wasn’t it lost alongside the old Sect Leader?"
"Boss, the Sect Leader’s token resurfacing is a good thing. As long as we seize it, you’ll be the rightful Sect Leader!"
"Yes, yes, Boss, although you are the current Sect Leader of our Life-Seeking Sect, so people are still not convinced. But if you reclaim the Obsidian Ring, who would dare oppose you then?"
The group was abuzz with excitent, and several mbers shared their opinions.
Because everyone knew that although the Life-Seeking Sect had a thousand-year legacy, it was now like a pile of loose sand.
The reason it ended up this way was mainly because, over fifty years ago, the old Sect Leader disappeared suddenly, and his life or death was unknown.
If it were just that, it would’ve been fine.
After all, there had been several Sect Leaders in the history of the Life-Seeking Sect who mysteriously vanished.
However,
those Sect Leaders hadn’t taken the Sect Leader’s token with them when they disappeared.
Since the Sect Leader’s token vanished as well, the Life-Seeking Sect divided into two factions, engaging in internal conflict, leading to its decline over the years.
"A Single Leaf Heralds Autumn" suppressed his excitent, saying, "To think Xu Wendong actually has the Sect Leader’s token. In that case, send two elders over, by all ans, to seize the Obsidian Ring and ask Xu Wendong about its origin!"
"I’m worried the old Sect Leader is still alive!"
These words silenced the group instantly.
If the old Sect Leader were still alive, this would be troubleso.
If the new Sect Leader were a descendant of the old one, it would be fine. But the new Sect Leader had no relation to the old one. If the old Sect Leader were alive, and the new Sect Leader assud power, it would be considered a rebellion according to the sect’s rules.
By the sect’s rules, a rebellion would result in being cut to pieces.
"The old Sect Leader disappeared over fifty years ago. How could he still be alive?" A woman nad Qian Ji spoke in a gentle voice.
"A Single Leaf Heralds Autumn" laughed, "Yes, the old Sect Leader couldn’t still be alive!"
"Moreover, Xu Wendong must die too."
"He first killed Han Qing and Du Qiu, and now the Butcher, all of whom were our Life-Seeking Sect’s elites."
"Even though those in our line of work are indifferent to life and death, Xu Wendong publicly taunted us by sending a ssage. This is a declaration of war!"
"If this kid doesn’t die, I cannot quell the anger in my heart!"
An elder’s raspy voice chid in, "Rest assured, Sect Leader, I will personally undertake this task. Even if Xu Wendong has extraordinary skills, I guarantee to take his head and show him the consequences of being an enemy to our Life-Seeking Sect!"

"Third brother, give a bottle of chilled Sprite!"
anwhile, Xu Wendong, passing through the village shop, arrived at Li San Supermarket and spent two or three yuan on a bottle of Sprite.
As he walked out, he saw Wang Feifei approaching from a distance and gave him a faint smile.
"Why are you out buying things so late?" Xu Wendong asked curiously.
"There are a couple of drunks at ho; what else can I do?" Wang Feifei shrugged helplessly. She didn’t want to buy alcohol, but neither did she want to argue over such a trivial matter.
Though displeased, she thought to herself that her husband was gravely ill; letting him drink more and worsen his condition might not be a bad thing.
"You wait over there for ." Wang Feifei raised her brows at Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong understood and headed towards Wang Er’s ho.
Wang Er’s ho was a bit secluded, and since the three brothers’ deaths, it had beco a forbidden zone in the village, with no one daring to play around there.
Shortly after Xu Wendong arrived, Wang Feifei sneaked over with two bottles of Erguotou, and upon seeing Xu Wendong, she gave him a passionate kiss.
When Xu Wendong responded, she turned to the wall, lifted her skirt, presented her alluring peach-shaped rear, and urged, "Ti is limited, hurry up and co in!"
