Wang Zhendong wore a fawning smile, nervously saying, "Mister Xu, our Wang Family truly realizes our mistakes and hopes you could give us a chance to turn over a new leaf!"
The other three Wang brothers were also nervous, gazing uneasily at Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong looked full of disdain, "You realize your mistakes? Ha, what exactly did you do wrong?"
"I’m a bit hungry and too lazy to waste words with you. Even if you give fifty percent of your assets, or even if you offer all of Wang Family’s assets, I wouldn’t forgive you."
If it was just the Wang Family causing him trouble, Xu Wendong wouldn’t have made a big deal out of it.
Their real mistake was cozying up too closely with the cultivators from the Kunlun Mountains, a grave error beyond forgiveness.
Upon hearing Xu Wendong’s words, a trace of malice appeared on Wang Zhenxi’s face as he gritted his teeth, "Xu Wendong, do you really intend to exterminate us?"
Xu Wendong glanced over with an amused smile, "And what if I do?"
Wang Zhenxi said coldly, "Your strength may be impressive, but our Wang Family is not a pushover. Be careful if you push us to the brink. We might go down with you."
They initially thought that coming to apologize and offering fifty percent of their assets would earn Xu Wendong’s forgiveness. But no one expected him to be unforgiving.
As they say, even a clay figurine has a bit of temper, let alone one of the Eight Great Secular Families, the Wang Family.
Xu Wendong laughed loudly, "The fish might die, but the net won’t break!" With that, he swaggered off into the distant alley.
His residence was in the old Capital City area, where so neighbors still provided breakfast services to the surrounding residents.
"Xu Wendong, you will regret today’s decision!" Wang Zhendong shouted in anger.
Xu Wendong didn’t even turn his head, "Stop saying such uninspired lines. Go ho and prepare coffins, one for each person, don’t miss any!"
"Let’s go ho!" Wang Zhendong said with a ferocious expression, furiously getting into the car and quickly returning to the Wang Family.
"What? That guy actually refused?" Upon learning that Xu Wendong rejected Wang Family’s apology, Elder Master Wang remained unsettled for a long ti.
He couldn’t accept being wiped out by Xu Wendong.
"Dad, don’t worry," Wang Zhendong softly comforted. "Even though our family doesn’t have cultivators, we are wealthy! I’ve heard many powerful figures from the Kunlun Mountains have entered the secular world. As long as we put a high bounty on Xu Wendong, soone will be willing to deal with him for us."
The second brother, Wang Zhenxi, sparkled with excitent, "Yes, yes, big brother is right. Although money doesn’t greatly tempt those cultivators in the secular world, our Wang Family is one of the Eight Great Secular Families with many connections. I don’t believe those cultivators would remain indifferent."
A gleam also flashed in Elder Master Wang’s eyes. He smiled and said, "Then proceed as you suggested, announce the bounty. If anyone can help us eliminate Xu Wendong, our Wang Family is willing to do three things for them."
------
That noon.
Xu Wendong received a call from Qian Duoduo, "Wendong, sothing happened. I heard the Wang Family issued a fifty billion bounty with three conditions, asking the experts of the cultivation realm to eliminate you."
"Alright, I know." Xu Wendong responded calmly, believing the Wang Family surely wouldn’t sit idly by.
Even if they offered a high bounty on him, it wasn’t a big deal.
With his current strength, paired with two magic artifacts, he could still hold his ground against a late-stage expert in the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
If things got too dire, he could always cut his skin, drop a bit of blood, and unleash the Slayer Vine.
Of course,
During this period, he could continue refining elixirs to enhance his cultivation level.
He secluded himself in his room, controlling the Earthfire Array to refine the elixirs.
After refining for two days and nights, Xu Wendong successfully created a hundred crystalline and fragrant Foundation Establishnt Pills, each one giving off a faint glow.
Then he adjusted his state and directly swallowed those Foundation Establishnt Pills.
Consuming ninety Foundation Establishnt Pills at once was quite a challenge for him, and soon he felt a terrifying True Qi explosion in his abdon, like a mountain torrent rushing uncontrollably through his limbs and bones.
At this mont, he clearly sensed his flesh feeling as though it was being torn to pieces.
It felt like soone was slicing his body with a knife.
Fortunately, his willpower was exceptionally strong, biting his teeth, allowing the surge of True Qi to rampage within his body.
Only after the True Qi gradually cald did he direct it into his Dantian, rging with the existing True Qi there.
And at this mont.
He felt as if his soul had broken free from the constraints of his body.
He couldn’t sense the existence of his physical form.
This was due to the extre pain.
Simultaneously, he felt a bulging sensation in his Dantian as if sothing was about to overflow.
Ecstatic, he imdiately controlled the True Qi to push against the barrier of his Dantian.
Monts later.
A terrifying force of True Qi exploded within Xu Wendong’s body, shaking the furniture, doors, and windows in the room into a violent tremor.
And he
successfully stepped into the fifth level of the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Whether in physical strength or ntal power, there was a noticeable improvent.
"With my current strength, even against a late-stage expert in the Foundation Establishnt Stage, I can hold my own without using magic artifacts."
"If I use two magic artifacts, there’s a high likelihood I can kill them."
Xu Wendong was exhilarated.
He realized the terror of being an alchemist. While others saved elixirs for ergencies, he consud them without hesitation, even to the point of being full.
How could ordinary people compare to that?
"Whether it’s the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique or alchemy, both can rapidly boost my cultivation level."
"And I, uniquely, possess both."
Xu Wendong’s excitent surged.
Yet there was one thing he couldn’t comprehend.
The three-day period was up, and the Wang Family had indeed announced a bounty on him, but why hadn’t anyone co to kill him?
Could those experts be lying in wait at the Wang Family?
Xu Wendong didn’t believe those experts would be unmoved by the Wang Family’s offer, whether it was the fifty billion wealth or Wang Family’s promise to do three things for the helper. Such temptations weren’t easy to refuse.
Not to ntion their target was a cultivator living in the secular world like himself.
Of course,
That wasn’t important.
What was important was that no one could save the Wang Family.
Not even the Heavenly King himself.
With that thought, Xu Wendong stood up, washed, changed into clean clothes, and went to a small restaurant at the alley entrance for breakfast.
After filling his stomach, he drove a black Maybach and arrived at the Wang Family’s entrance at three quarters past noon, 12:45 PM.
He elegantly stepped out of the rcedes, looked at the Wang Family Courtyard’s plaque that had stood for centuries, and with a wave, a fla shot out, setting it ablaze.
He looked towards the Wang Family Courtyard and loudly called, "Hey, I said I’d co at three quarters past noon. Why didn’t you welco earlier?"
"Did you treat my words as re wind at your ears?"
