Chapter 2031 - 2028: Pushing Your Luck?

Xu Wendong finished speaking, and everyone was stunned.

Many eyes turned to Zhu Chun, causing his face to change dramatically.

Earlier, he had mocked Xu Wendong as a country bumpkin who couldn’t recognize a Seventh-grade Treasure.

But right after saying that, he got his face slapped.

Qian Wuming had secretly kept a Seventh-grade Treasure, deceiving everyone except Xu Wendong.

"According to what you said earlier, if that small knife is indeed a Seventh-grade Treasure, you’d have to eat this thing."

"Come on, I want to see how you plan to eat it."

Zhao Ying’er clapped her hands excitedly, finding entertainment in the situation.

Others also showed mocking expressions.

What should Zhu Chun do now?

"This... This doesn’t count!" Zhu Chun gritted his teeth. He hadn’t expected Qian Wuming would actually dare to hide a treasure, and just earlier, the two had plotted to kill Xu Wendong.

And yet, this happened.

"Kid, don’t try to change the subject! Hand over Qian Wuming’s Storage Bag to me!"

Zhu Chun roared domineeringly, bursting forth with a powerful Tongyou Realm Eighth Layer aura.

He glared at Xu Wendong, looking ready to strike.

"Your Highness Princess, is it true that every member of the Imperial Family doesn’t honor their words? If so, I can only accept defeat, and I’ll retract this Seventh-grade Treasure—not a Seventh-grade Treasure, but merely an ordinary weapon."

With that, Zhu Xuan surprisingly handed the treasure over to Xu Wendong.

The members of the Imperial Family were dumbfounded, amazed that Zhu Xuan was so compliant.

"Since it’s not a Seventh-grade Treasure, then I don’t want it anymore," Zhu Xuan agreed, looking to Zhu Chun, "You caused this mess, and once we return, I will inform my mother."

Upon hearing this, cold sweat trickled down Zhu Chun’s face.

The reason Your Highness Princess could mobilize so many forces and come to the Nether Ruins was due to the Empress’s backing.

If the Empress learned that the Seventh-grade Treasure was lost because of him, Zhu Chun would likely face endless torment.

Xu Wendong turned to leave, but Zhu Chun immediately stopped him.

"I don’t want Qian Wuming’s Storage Bag anymore; return the treasure to the Princess!" Anger flashed in Zhu Chun’s eyes; he was a royal member and had never suffered such humiliation.

In front of Xu Wendong, he seemed immature as a child, always easily manipulated.

"You think you can just say it and make it happen?"

Xu Wendong sneered; Zhu Chun acted as if whatever he wanted would just happen—how naive.

Moreover, this person harbored murderous intentions toward him; if Xu Wendong didn’t teach him a lesson, future troubles would be inevitable.

"Then tell me, what should we do!" Zhu Chun said viciously.

Xu Wendong ignored him and was about to leave when Li Jiayin stopped him.

"Junior Brother, don’t sour relations with the Imperial Family too much; after all, we’re just from a small place, not opponents of Da Yin Dynasty’s Imperial Family."

Li Jiayin’s eyes darkened; she felt a bit helpless indeed.

The Heavenly Nether Domain was, in the end, just a small locality.

"Yes, Lin Mo, don’t provoke the Imperial Family to the point of no return," Zhao Ying’er also advised.

The Heavenly Nether Sect could only dominate in the Heavenly Nether Domain; in Da Yin Dynasty, it was merely an ant.

Xu Wendong discontentedly puckered his lips.

He also noticed Zhu Xuan’s longing gaze, although Zhu Xuan wouldn’t say anything if Xu Wendong took the treasure; she still desired the object in her heart.

"If you want this thing, you’ll have to pay a price."

Xu Wendong said indifferently, still deciding to teach Zhu Chun a lesson.

"You’re demanding too much?" Zhu Chun exploded in anger, ready to lash out but was stopped by Zhu Xuan’s cold gaze: "Speak up, what do you want!"

"Haha, the value of a Seventh-grade Treasure—probably selling you wouldn’t cover it." Xu Wendong laughed coldly, "But I don’t need to sell you. For now, hand over everything before you, including things obtained from the Treasure Vault."

After saying this, Xu Wendong tossed an empty Storage Bag to him.

This scene made Zhu Chun’s heart fill with resentment.

He had naturally obtained plenty of treasures in the Treasure Vault; was he now to hand everything over to Xu Wendong?

What a joke; wouldn’t his visit have been in vain?

"You’re too much, kid, you really think I don’t dare..." Zhu Chun was about to lose his temper, but Zhu Xuan intervened directly.

"You started this matter; if you had kept quiet, there would’ve been no trouble. Now you’re causing issues, so you must bear the cost!"

"If you make me lose the Seventh-grade Treasure, I’ll definitely tell Mother upon returning!"

Zhu Xuan gritted her silver teeth, full of a threatening aura.

Although Zhu Chun was a royal member, after all, he was merely the Imperial Family’s dog, without much status, mainly tasked with handling matters for them.

If Zhu Xuan’s backers became enraged, he wouldn’t escape death.

"I’ll give it!"

Zhu Chun clenched his teeth; he wanted to tell Zhu Xuan that he could simply take them by force, but, pressured by Zhu Xuan, he had to surrender the treasures he had acquired.

Quite a few Sixth Grade Netherworld Talismans, elixirs, and treasures were placed within the Storage Bag.

Zhu Chun, face full of reluctance, tossed the Storage Bag.

Xu Wendong laughed aloud and handed the small knife to Zhu Xuan, mockingly saying, "Your Highness Princess, next time you go out, bring people who can see the situation right, so your affairs won’t be ruined."

"Even raising dogs, you must choose obedient ones; vicious dogs not only harm others but may bite their masters."

Xu Wendong compared Zhu Chun to a dog, shocking everyone present.

For the other major forces, they wouldn’t dare utter such things, but Xu Wendong was carefree, not caring about offending Zhu Chun.

At this moment, Zhu Chun had wisely kept his mouth shut.

But the resentment in his heart had reached its peak.

He wouldn’t spare Xu Wendong next, nor would he let the Heavenly Nether Sect go!

Once he sent the Princess back, it would be time to flatten the Heavenly Nether Sect.

Xu Wendong also understood that this guy wouldn’t give up easily.

"Need to find an opportunity to deal with him." Xu Wendong contemplated, he still had a mountain to dig up, might as well lure this guy over, and once the treasure was unearthed, simply eliminate Zhu Chun.

With this in mind, Xu Wendong immediately spoke to Zhu Xuan.

"Your Highness Princess, there’s not only one place like Divine Fire Hall hiding Seventh-grade Treasures; the Nether Ruins are vast, and there are many treasure-bearing places. I discovered one before."

"Does Your Highness Princess wish to go with me?"

Xu Wendong invited her with a smile, Zhu Xuan couldn’t wait to follow Xu Wendong around, and readily agreed.

"Since we’re going, others can..." Xu Wendong said meaningfully.

Zhu Xuan immediately understood.

She looked at members of the other major forces and calmly said, "You need not follow; your rewards will be issued by the Imperial Family, so you can all withdraw."
