Chapter 1310: A Shameless Man

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Que's words spread out over the entire Tianxiang Celestial Realm in just a few days. Then the people in the Ziwei Celestial Realm also got wind of what Xu Que had said. All the people who were focused on this issue were completely dumbfounded. They thought that a Celestial Emperor had appeared in the world. They didn't realize it was only a rumor!

"Holy sh*t! This is unbelievable! How could such a rumor be spread so widely in the world?"

"Right! Before this, if someone had dared to utter those words, nobody would have believed it. Why haven't any serious parties stepped up to confirm or deny whether this is true?"

"Nonsense! It is not a rumor but a truth that was declared by Xu Que's father outside the ruins of the ancient battlefield in the Tianxiang Celestial Realm. And I was there at that time. I didn't expect he would deny that he had said that!"

"Really?"

"Of course! Otherwise, how do you think this rumor could have spread far and wide and have been believed by so many? I was not the only witness there!"

"Holy sh*t! This issue is quite serious. I bet the Heaven Palace Academy will never leave it at that!"

"Of course not! Xu Que's father is pretty much doomed!"

"He deserves anything he gets! Nobody forced him to talk tough. If he is strong enough, he would definitely do that. But why did he do that when he is still not powerful enough?"

Many people were discussing this issue. A lot of people were keeping an eye on the reaction of the Heaven Palace Academy and wondering whether the Heaven Palace Academy would punish Xu Que's father. After all, this issue was quite consequential. After being provoked by Xu Que's father, the Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy replied to him personally. This issue would never be resolved by a simple explanation from Xu Que's father!

However, several days later, before the Heaven Palace Academy had time to give any reply, Buttface responded publicly. His brief reply had only one word: "F*ck!" Before he had time to say any other words, he was dragged away by Xu Que's father who was covering Buttface's mouth with his hand.

More than ten days later, Buttface showed up in the south part of the Tianxiang Celestial Realm for the first time. There, he gave a reply in front of countless cultivators, "Actually, this was a rumor! And I was also a victim of it. Moreover, I left the Exploding Heavens Faction a long time ago. So please contact Duan Jiude for anything you want to know!" That same day, Duan Jiude also appeared and gave a public reply, "Bullsh*t! I have never joined the Exploding Heavens Faction! Please don't spread this rumor! However, the Exploding Heavens Faction has a powerful guardian whose name is Mo Junchen. So you can contact him for anything you want to know!"

In this way, Buttface and Duan Jiude had managed to shirk their responsibilities and lay everything on Mo Junchen. Mo Junchen, who was unexpectedly unyielding, made his announcement immediately, "The Exploding Heavens Faction has 1 million members. Nothing can intimidate us. The Heaven Palace Academy should think twice before acting!" His words stunned most cultivators in the Heaven Continent. "Does the Exploding Heavens Faction have 1 million faction members? Are you kidding me?" These were the general thoughts running through the minds of most of these cultivators. However, Mo Junchen was still quite confident. On the one hand, he believed the Exploding Heavens Faction really had 1 million members. On the other hand, he was fearless because Xu Que was being backed by the building head of the Heaven Palace Sect's South Building! However, the ultimate target was still Xu Que.

The current Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy replied again, "I hope this person could be responsible for what he said. If he can give us in the Heaven Palace Academy an explanation, we might let him off. Otherwise, he will face consequences!" That same day the Heaven Palace Academy sent out countless apprentices and several powerhouses at the level of the Taiyi Genuine Celestial. Most of them went to the Tianxiang Celestial Realm. Apparently, these people were sent out to punish Xu Que's father.

Several days later, Xu Que appeared in the Taiyin Celestial Realm, which was next to the Tianxiang Celestial Realm. There he announced solemnly again:"I hope the Heaven Palace Academy will stay rational and not lose its mind because of the rumor. I hereby promise, on my honor, that I never said the Heaven Palace Sect was wiped out by me!"

This time, his words were too pale and weak for the public. Many people mocked him, thinking to themselves, "Now you are terrified. But why were you so arrogant before?" Someone also confronted Xu Que, "You said the Heaven Palace Sect was not wiped out by you. But you also said the Heaven Palace Academy made your hands itchy. Isn���t that a provocation to the Heaven Palace Academy?"

Xu Que replied seriously, "You misunderstood me! What I wanted to say is that the Heaven Palace Academy is powerful and majestic! But my hands, which had been stung by a mosquito at that time, were quite itchy. I just wanted to scratch the itch on my hands. I didn't expect you would misunderstand my words!"

"….." Hearing that, people were speechless. They had never witnessed such a shameless man before. They really had nothing to say to a man who could swear black was white. This time, the Heaven Palace Academy didn't want to reply at all. People sent out by the Heaven Palace Academy left for the Taiyin Celestial Realm immediately after Xu Que's appearance in that place. Many people noticed this.

"A man may dig his grave with his teeth. Now, Xu Que's father is going to have to pay a price no matter what he says in the future!"

"I have a feeling that something is fishy with all this!"

"What do you mean?"

"Why has the Divine Farmer Clan been so quiet recently? Xu Que's father killed Yi Zhong and Yi Dan. Now he has also showed up in the Taiyin Celestial Realm. But the Divine Farmer Clan didn't send people to hunt down Xu Que!"

"Could it be that the Divine Farmer Clan is still afraid of the strength of Xu Que's father?"

"I suppose so. It seems something really big happened in the ruins of that ancient battlefield. Otherwise, the Divine Farmer Clan would never spare the rat to save the dishes!"

"Maybe they plan to use the Heaven Palace Academy to test the real strength of Xu Que's father!"

"The Jade Lake's reaction is also quite weird. They haven't expressed their point of view up until now!"

People started to talk about all these points. However, Xu Que had arrived at the Ziwei Celestial Realm together with his teammates secretly at this time. "Heh, heh, little brat, what a nice maneuver! You fooled them by sending a replica to the Taiyin Celestial Realm while we ran away! It is always safe and cool to follow brother Que!" Buttface complimented Xu Que with a flattering smile.

Duan Jiude said curiously, "It is not safe at all! Although this is a good diversion, why do we have to come to the Ziwei Celestial Realm? We can put our heads in a noose easily in this place!"

"Put our heads in a noose? That's impossible! The Heaven Palace Academy is going to punish me, right? Let's launch an attack first by destroying their treasure house!" Xu Que said with a smile. This plan had been proved effective every time. What would you do when you found your enemy was too powerful? The answer was quite simple. Cut off the enemy's supplies and hit them from the flank!

"Steal their treasure house again? Come on! I am getting tired of this trick. Although there's a lot of good stuff in the treasure house, it is too dangerous! Nobody can enter the Heaven Palace Academy's treasure house easily!" Duan Jiude said, frowning. Buttface also nodded his head, agreeing with Duan Jiude. Apparently, they had tried it before, but their attempt had failed!

"What are you afraid of? To steal their treasure house is just the first step! Don't you believe I can occupy the entire Heaven Palace Academy?" Xu Que asked, as a bigger and bigger smile appeared on his face. Hearing that, Buttface and Duan Jiude were totally shocked. They were thinking, "You might succeed in stealing their treasure house. But you say you are going to occupy the entire Heaven Palace Academy? This is totally impossible!"

"Hey! Stop looking at me like that! I will definitely get it done! Let's go to the Heaven Palace Academy now. If I can't turn it upside down, I will change my name from Xu Greedy…oh, no, from Xu Pretty to something else!" Xu Que squinted his eyes slightly as he waved his hand. Then he walked forward directly. Maybe he was not able to attack the other sects at this moment. But he really had some great ideas to deal with the Heaven Palace Academy!

Chapter 1311: We Are In!

"Little brat, where do you get the courage to come up with the idea of occupying the Heaven Palace Academy?" On the way there, Buttface asked Xu Que with wide eyes, as if he was looking at a psycho. Although Xu Que, who was always doing something crazy, really looked like a psycho, Buttface and Duan Jiude were still shocked when they heard Xu Que's plan of occupying the Heaven Palace Academy.

The Heaven Palace Academy was one of the most powerful sects on the Heaven Continent, and it had countless powerhouses. Its Dean was a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, who was one of the most powerful cultivators on the Heaven Continent. The strength gap was unbelievably large this time. "How could they defeat such an opponent?" Now, the plan of occupying the Heaven Palace Academy was just…beyond imagination!

"This is not courage but wisdom!" Xu Que replied with a calm smile.

"Nonsense! What kind of wisdom could fill the strength gap between you and that Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven? I am not convinced." Buttface shouted anxiously. He was right to be anxious because Xu Que was leading them to the Heaven Palace Academy now. The point was that he had no choice but to go with Xu Que. After all, Xu Que's knife was still pressed on his neck.

"Calm down! Actually, this is just a rough plan. I need to check the Heaven Palace Academy carefully before making any detailed plans!" Xu Que said as he patted Buttface's head with a smile.

"Check the situation? Little brat, what do you want to know? I've been to the Heaven Palace Academy before. You can ask me anything you want to know about this place. It is totally unnecessary to go there again!" Buttface said as he patted his chest proudly. Xu Que shook his head and said seriously, "In fact, I am considering something!"

��What?" Buttface asked. Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, and Liu Jingning also looked at Xu Que at this time.

"The Taiyi Heaven Book might be related to the Heaven Palace Sect and the Heaven Palace Academy!" Xu Que said seriously. Hearing that, Buttface and Duan Jiude were surprised, "Why do you say that?"

Xu Que squinted his eyes slightly as the light of wisdom flashed in them, "Because all of them have the word 'Heaven' in their names!"

"….." Everyone was totally embarrassed by his words. Buttface and Duan Jiude shouted at the same time, "F*ck!"

"You think the Taiyi Heaven Book is related to the Heaven Palace Sect and the Heaven Palace Academy because of the word 'Heaven' in their names? This is complete nonsense! This logic is totally unbelievable! When did you come up with this idiocy?" Everyone was thinking the same thing after hearing the ridiculous thing Xu Que had said.

"Little brat, according to what you just said, I am quite like a husky, does it mean I am a dog?" Buttface tried giving an example.

"Yes!" Xu Que, Duan Jiude, Liu Jingning, and Mo Junchen nodded their heads at the same time.

"F*ck!" Buttface shouted and almost wanted to jump up and beat them up. However, when he thought of Xu Que's horrible strength, he became timid. Then he rolled his eyes and said, pointing at Duan Jiude, "There is a word "De" (in Chinese, De means morality) in Duan Jiude's name. Does it mean he is a virtuous man?"

"Of course!" Buttface only got a reply from Duan Jiude this time. Mo Junchen and Liu Jingning kept silent.

Xu Que nodded his head and touched his jaw as if some idea had just dawned on him. "Right! Buttface's words make sense!"

"D*mn! Why can't I be virtuous? When I stole things from people in the Four Great Continents, I always left my name and told them they were welcome to get the stolen goods back from me!" Duan Jiude said defiantly. But his words were totally ignored by all the rest of the people.

Buttface said as he looked at Xu Que attentively, "Of course! My words always make sense! So I don't think we need to go there this time. Let's find another way to attack them, or we can steal their treasure house. Anyway, we shall avoid a head-on confrontation with them!"

"No! No! No!" Xu Que waved his hands and said with a faint smile, "I don't know whether this point seems suspicious to you? Xuanyuan Wanrong used to be the building head of the Heaven Palace Sect's South Building. She is also the inheritor of the Taiyi Heaven Book. Then the mishap in the Heaven Palace Sect happened and all their apprentices died overnight. I am guessing there must be a correlation between this woman and this incident!"

"D*mn! You seem to be forcing this a bit!" Duan Jiude said with embarrassment.

"Can you say there is no relation at all between her and this incident?" Xu Que asked as he looked at Duan Jiude. Duan Jiude opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. Although he didn't believe the Taiyi Heaven Book was related to this incident according to the known conditions, he was not sure whether the Taiyi Heaven Book was related to the Heaven Palace Sect and the Heaven Palace Academy!

"Actually, I also know the possibility is very low. But what if it was really true?" Xu Que asked seriously at this time. He looked in the direction of the Heaven Palace Academy and it was obvious he was pondering the issue. "You know clearly that all of us are not able to rival the Heaven Palace Academy. And it will be still quite difficult for us to rival the Heaven Palace Academy after even 100 or 1,000 years!" Xu Que sighed and continued as he shook his head, "I found great opportunities in those ruins, which helped me to reach the Medium Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage from the summit of the Human Celestial Stage. But do you know how much Celestial Core Power I used for these two minor cultivation stages? Increasingly, I have a feeling that the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven is too far away! So, I don't want to wait any more. I don't want to find a secret place to perform cultivation. At the least, I want to tell Jiang Hongyan that I am working hard for her!"

"Holy sh*t! Little brat, I am moved by your words!" Buttface said as he looked at Xu Que affectionately.

"….." Xu Que ignored Buttface and continued, "Anyway, my plan is to go to the Heaven Palace Academy to try something. Even if the success rate is very low, I still want to take the risk to have a try. If we succeed, it will be an earthshaking change, which will reverse the unfavorable situation for us!"

"Wait! Little brat, as you said, you want to check the correlation between the Taiyi Heaven Book and the Heaven Palace Academy, right? Even if they are related, what could you do? Do you want to defeat the Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy with the Taiyi Heaven Book?" Duan Jiude asked with puzzlement. Xu Que said with a faint smile, "We can't defeat him. But someone could definitely defeat him!"

"Who?" They fixed their eyes on Xu Que immediately.

"Li Xuanqi, who was the exiled apprentice of the Heaven Palace Sect and also the founder and first Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy!" Xu Que replied calmly. Buttface and Duan Jiude were stunned again. "Li Xuanqi, the founder of the Heaven Palace Academy? Hasn't he been dead for a long time?"

"Don't worry! Normally, these founders retire from the world by playing dead. Of course, it is okay even if he is really dead! His corpse or remnant soul is enough for me!" Xu Que added at this time. Buttface and Duan Jiude figured out Xu Que's plan immediately. They said in surprise with wide eyes, "Holy sh*t! Little brat, don't tell us you are going to dig up his grave in the Heaven Palace Academy?"

"So what?" Xu Que responded righteously.

"Nothing!" Buttface and Duan Jiude shook their heads at the same time as they gave a thumbs up to Xu Que. Then they said in one voice, "Awesome! And we are in!"

Chapter 1312: 1 Million Faction Members

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As the old saying goes, in the company of three people, one can always find a teacher. Mo Junchen began to reflect when he looked at the notorious combination of Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and Buttface, whose arms were wrapped around each other's shoulders as they appeared dazed. He was having a conversation with himself: "Why? How could I have been brought down so low like this? Among the three of them, where is my teacher? Oh, right, Buttface is not a human being! Do I really have a future following the three of them? They are totally insane! I certainly didn't expect that they were going to dig up the grave of Li Xuanqi, who was the founder of the Heaven Palace Academy! Have they lost their minds?"

"I am not going with you!" Two people said this with one voice at this time. Mo Junchen looked at Liu Jingning with tears in his eyes. "Finally, I have found a reasonable person!" was what he was thinking. Hearing that, Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude stopped walking. Then they turned around and looked at Mo Junchen and Liu Jingning with puzzlement. "Why not?" Xu Que asked curiously.

"Right! Why don't you want to go with us? You should participate in all our good activities!" Duan Jiude said, nodding his head.

"Don't tell me you are terrified!" Buttface said as he held his head up proudly as if he was looking at two cowards. Mo Junchen shook his head and was about to say something. Liu Jingning, who was standing beside Mo Junchen, spoke first as she stared at Xu Que with her beautiful eyes, "Little brat, are you going to rob a grave or are you going to meet Jiang Hongyan? Do you know you are lying brazenly right in front of me?"

"Ah?" Xu Que pretended he didn't understand Liu Jingning's words. His eyelids were twitching as he thought, "I didn't expect she would figure out my real intentions by seeing through my careful disguise! I have fabricated so many excuses, but it turns out that I can't fool her! This is not scientific! Buttface and Duan Jiude have been fooled. How could you be so smart…?"

TSK! TSK! TSK! "You fabricated so many excuses, from occupying the Heaven Palace Academy to robbing a grave, just because I am here and you don't have the guts to tell me you are going to meet Jiang Hongyan fair and square, right?" Liu Jingning said as she looked at Xu Que with a smile.

"This is absolutely impossible!" Xu Que frowned and said as he threw out his chest, "What are you thinking? Am I a man like that? If I want to meet Jiang Hongyan, I would just go there and find her. And it is totally unnecessary for me to find excuses! I really have some business to deal with there!"

"Really? Then can you guarantee you will only rob the grave and won't meet Jiang Hongyan?" Liu Jingning rolled her eyes and said with a smile.

"Of course! But I cannot guarantee I won't come across Jiang Hongyan! Anyway, nobody can stop the occurrence of predestined things!" Xu Que said wanly.

"Don't worry! You won't meet her!" Liu Jingning sniggered, and she said with a cunning smile, "As far as I know, Jiang Hongyan started her secluded cultivation one year ago, and it won't be finished soon. In this way, she can stay away from all these annoying flies!"

"Eh…" Xu Que's smile was frozen immediately. He started thinking fast, "Is Jiang Hongyan performing secluded cultivation now? D*mn! Then it is useless to go to the Heaven Palace Academy!"

"So now you can only rob the grave!" Liu Jingning teased him as she looked at him with a smile. She had figured out Xu Que's plan. And she always enjoyed seeing Xu Que's embarrassed expressions.

At this time, Mo Junchen was ready to spit blood. He didn't expect Liu Jingning, who had said she wouldn't go with them, didn't care about stopping them from robbing the grave! All of them have lost their minds!

"Wait! Please calm down!" Mo Junchen couldn't help but shout at this time. Xu Que's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Guardian Mo, what do you want to say now?"

Mo Junchen was stunned a bit, "Eh…I said wait! Please…"

"No, what was the previous sentence?"

"The previous one?"

"Yes, the previous sentence!"

"I said…I am not going with you!" Mo Junchen said tentatively.

"Okay, since Guardian Mo doesn't want to go there, we will cancel this plan for now. The Exploding Heavens Faction is always a democratic faction!" Xu Que pronounced. This time, Buttface and Duan Jiude were quite unhappy to hear that. They turned pleading eyes on Xu Que. "F*ck!"

"Little brat, what do you mean? Democratic? Democracy means the minority is subordinate to the majority!" Buttface and Duan Jiude were quite annoyed. After being stirred up by Xu Que, they were planning to do something wild. After all, Xu Que's plan was to dig up the Heaven Palace Academy's ancestral grave. When they were in the Heaven Palace Academy, they had had to endure humiliation. If Jiang Hongyan hadn't protected them, they would have been killed. Now, when an opportunity to seek revenge was in place in front of them, how could they keep calm? Now, Xu Que said he didn't want to dig up that grave. How could they say yes to that?

"No, we must carry out this plan!" Buttface shouted.

"Exactly! If you don't want to go, we will break with you!" Duan Jiude said as he nodded his head. Xu Que was so happy to hear that, "Okay! Bye, bye!" Then he turned around and walked away, leaving Buttface and Duan Jiude behind.

"No! Little brat, to dig their ancestral grave is really feasible! We know that mountain very well. Almost nobody goes to that place. Only some restrictive spells can be found there. I am sure nobody will spot us when we go into that place!"

"Right! Also, I know a way to inform Jiang Hongyan that we are there, so that she could also help us from inside!" Duan Jiude and Buttface tried to persuade Xu Que to change his mind with better and better reasons. Xu Que stopped walking and turned around again. Then he said as he shrugged his shoulders with embarrassment, "Fine! I really don't know what to do with you! Then let's go!"

Mo Junchen, "….."

Liu Jingning, "….."

"Could you be more brazen?" …is what they were both thinking! "Little brat, come here, I have something to talk with you about alone!" Liu Jingning said as beckoned Xu Que with her finger and a smile.

"No problem! I am not afraid of you!" Xu Que said unyieldingly. Xu Que had never been intimidated by Liu Jingning. This little devil could be cowed by force but not persuaded by reason. When Xu Que got tough, she would always choose to retreat. As expected, the smile on Liu Jingning's face disappeared when she saw Xu Que approaching with a wicked smile. She had tried to tease Xu Que several times. But Xu Que could always take advantage of her. And she could do nothing to punish him because she was not powerful enough to defeat him! "Stay away from me! I don't want to talk with you now!" Liu Jingning said as she stepped back hurriedly.

Xu Que smiled satisfactorily as he turned to Mo Junchen. Mo Junchen still said sturdily as he shook his head, "Faction Leader, I think this plan needs further consideration! We can't act recklessly. If we really offend the Heaven Palace Academy, we will have no way out of this world!"

"Alas! Guardian Mo, I also want to think twice about this plan. But it is the only plan I have now. If we don't try our luck in the Heaven Palace Academy, do you think we have any other options?" Xu Que sighed as he smiled with embarrassment. In fact, Jiang Hongyan had not been the main purpose for him to go to the Heaven Palace Academy at this time. If he could prove the Taiyi Heaven Book was really related to the Heaven Palace Academy, the identity of Xuanyuan Wanrong would play a key role in their plan.

"Why don't we have any other options? Our Exploding Heavens Faction has 1 million faction members. This is our trump card. The Heaven Palace Academy is powerful. But they won't dare to start a war with us easily!" Mo Junchen said curiously. Hearing this, Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude were stunned.

"Eh…we can't threaten the Heaven Palace Academy with 1 million faction members!" Xu Que said vaguely.

"Why do you say that?" Mo Junchen asked with puzzlement as an ominous presentiment appeared in his mind.

"Eh…" Xu Que didn't want to fool him any longer. He shouted directly, "The Exploding Heavens Faction's 1 Million Faction Members!"

"Yes, sir!" Buttface and Duan Jiude jumped up and replied at the same time.

"I am 1 Million!"

"And I am Faction Members!" Then Buttface and Duan Jiude said as they bowed to Mo Junchen, "We are…1 Million Faction Members!"

Chapter 1313: What a Bunch of D*mn Liars!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Wh…at?" Mo Junchen's eyes got wide as dinner plates, and he was stunned and stood rooted to the spot. "1 million faction members? You are 1 Million and he is Faction Members, right?So, both of you comprise the so-called 1 million faction members, is that right?" After coming to himself, Mo Junchen was trembling with anger and almost faint.

"How shameful, horrible, and abhorrent these people are! I have been totally fooled by them. If they hadn't told me the truth now, I don't know how much longer I would have been kept in the dark! Heh, heh! How foolish I have been! I should have figured it out before!" Mo Junchen started to laugh at his foolishness as he shook his head repeatedly. Mo Junchen should have thought of this when he saw how Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude were always fooling others. When they fooled him with the same trick, Mo Junchen chose to believe them.

The saddest thing in one's life was to believe those who were lying and even make excuses for the loopholes in the liars' words. At that time, Mo Junchen just didn't believe that a man with a high status would ever fool him with absurd words. Now, Mo Junchen realized the truth belatedly. When Xu Que was telling all those palpable lies in front of people, Mo Junchen used to laugh at the foolishness of the people. He was surprised that they even believed Xu Que's absurd words! Mo Junchen didn't know he had been fooled by Xu Que. However, when he became one of Xu Que's teammates, he also started to laugh at those who were fooled by Xu Que. In other words, you can't know the shape of a mountain when you are standing on it!

"Hey, Guardian Mo, come on! Now you are one of us. We won't fool you anymore!" Duan Jiude walked up to console Mo Junchen at this time. He worried that Mo Junchen would lose his mind from anger and even start to attack them.

"Right! Guardian Mo, in the Exploding Heavens Faction, credibility is very important! This was just an accident…" Buttface joined in.

"Stop mentioning the f*cking Exploding Heavens Faction in front of me!" Mo Junchen was completely annoyed by Buttface. Although he was always mild and gentle, he couldn't help but utter filthy words at this time. Mo Junchen continued, as he stared at Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude angrily, "Please just tell me how many people the Exploding Heavens Faction has! Don't fool me with the trick of 1 million faction members again!"

"Hey, Guardian Mo, please don't dwell on these details. You should know that it is useless even if we really had 1 million faction members now! The most important factor for a cultivator is strength. You can't depend too much on the external factors like the quantity of faction members!" Buttface waved his paw as he tried to brainwash Mo Junchen.

Mo Junchen, who had been fooled like this before, shouted immediately, "Buttface, don't pull that sh*t on me!" Then he turned to Xu Que and said seriously, "Faction Leader, I still call you Faction Leader because I still respect you, which is not related to your Cultivation Stage or age. You are an extremely gifted and determined person. You earned my respect with your extraordinary bravery and courage when you inherited the Mighty Body of Hades in the God of Hell's Realm! From that moment, I knew you would definitely become an extraordinary cultivator in the future!"

"Now, you are going to say 'but', right?" Xu Que asked with a calm smile. Normally, when people utter those kinds of words, the next word will always be "but"!

"But I found I was wrong! You are wasting your talents. You are reckless, unruly, and not moral at all! Frankly speaking, you are acting like a member of those Demonic Sects who is sinister, despicable, and crafty! If you continue to act arrogantly like this, it will only be a matter of time before you are killed!" Mo Junchen said seriously. Although Mo Junchen's words were quite severe, the others felt they were not able to hate Mo Junchen. Because what he had said was sincere, and he just wanted to stop Xu Que from making more mistakes. They knew Mo Junchen was not ridiculing or insulting them. Buttface and Duan Jiude lowered their heads in shame. Xu Que also sighed and started to avoid eye contact with Mo Junchen.

Seeing this, Mo Junchen felt a strand of warmth in his heart. He knew at least these people were not unsalvageable! "I've said everything that I have to say, Faction Leader. Although the Exploding Heavens Faction doesn't have 1 million members, please believe that you are an extraordinary cultivator who has a bright future. And that's why I still call you Faction Leader at this moment!" After saying that, Mo Junchen, whose eyes were full of resolution, continued to say in a serious tone, "Because of you, I came to the Heaven Continent, leaving everything on the Earth Continent behind. I was willing to gamble on your prospects with my future! I still believe I will become much stronger because of you sooner or later!"

These sincere words were from the bottom of Mo Junchen's heart. When he saw Xu Que realize remarkable progress in the ruins of the ancient battlefield, he firmly believed that the future of this young man was unstoppable! So, it was impossible for Mo Junchen to leave Xu Que and his teammates because he had been fooled by the the trick of the 1 million faction members. Moreover, Mo Junchen had also boarded a pirate ship, which was being hunted down by the Heaven Palace Academy in this world. He really had no way back at this moment.

"Okay! Guardian Mo, please accept my sincere apology for what I did before!" Xu Que walked up to Mo Junchen and said solemnly as he patted Mo Junchen's shoulder, "I am sorry! I will never fool you again in the future! And I need to say sorry to you again. Just now I set up a kill Array beside you when you were not paying attention. Now I will take it back immediately!" After saying that, Xu Que waved his hand as he took out a spell disk from the ground under Mo Junchen's feet in front of Mo Junchen's confused eyes.

The next moment, Buttface also walked up and said excitedly, "Guardian Mo, I am guilty too! Just now, when you were talking, I placed toxins into your mouth. This is the antidote. Just eat it!" Then Buttface really took out a pill and gave it to Mo Junchen. Mo Junchen was completely flabbergasted, "?????"

"Ah…Guardian Mo. I've made a terrible mistake also!" Suddenly, Duan Jiude rushed up and cried as he held Mo Junchen in his arms tightly. "Guardian Mo, actually, what you saw just now and even what you see at this moment are just illusions. I set up an illusory Array beside you. Now all of us are far away from you. However, we heard what you said just now. This is the way to break the Array. Just break it and catch up with us. We are waiting for you!" Duan Jiude gave Mo Junchen a jade plate after saying that.

Then, Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude disappeared from in front of Mo Junchen, who was totally confused. At this moment, Mo Junchen felt a pain in his chest and really wanted to spit blood. "What the h*ll? They are really a bunch of d*mn liars! The combination of Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and Buttface is so infuriating! But…"

Suddenly, Mo Junchen calmed down. Because he had figured out something that changed his mind. Mo Junchen realized that what Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude had done just now were simply defensive measures in case he attacked them from anger. After all, he was a cultivator who had reached the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage. Also, he had obtained the first-rate God of Hell's Compulsion. If he really attacked them, the fight would be very fierce. So they had used those filthy measures without hesitation. And Mo Junchen had to admit that these measures were pretty effective, although the three of them were very despicable! If Mo Junchen had turned against them just now, he would have already been killed by their filthy tricks.

"Hey! What is wrong with me? I was almost killed by them just now. Why did I still exculpate them? This is totally…" Mo Junchen shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. No wonder he had been fooled by them before! "But…maybe I really have the wrong idea about them! Those who are truly despicable don't last long in this world. But I guess nobody in this world is able to kill those who were extremely despicable like the three of them! Forget it! Since I have no way back, why should I still haggle over every little thing…"

At last, a relieved smile appeared on Mo Junchen's face. Some staid ideas in his heart were also changing unconsciously. Mo Junchen broke the illusory Array with the Jade Plate given to him by Duan Jiude. Then he left to catch up with Xu Que and his teammates.

…..

At the same time, Xu Que and his teammates, who had seen everything from afar, were smiling delightedly. TSK! TSK! TSK! "Little villain, I really underestimated you before! I didn't expect you would misguide such a venerable person as Mo Junchen!" Liu Jingning shook her head as she looked at Xu Que with emotion.

"Don't say that! What we did was for his own good! If he had refused to change his style, it would be very difficult for him to survive on the Heaven Continent. He could lead a mediocre life till his death or he could be killed by others easily." Xu Que shook his head as he became serious. When he said that, he was also considering the words of Mo Junchen. "Am I really too arrogant? No, this is the way that everything will go my way. Every cultivator has Tao. What I want is that Heaven and Earth should follow my inclinations! And tit for tat is my principle! Is it wrong? No! The only thing is that my way is different from that of others!"

Chapter 1314: The Mountain behind the Heaven Palace Academy

At last, Mo Junchen went back to Xu Que's team. Although he still had some unpleasantness in his heart, the ill feeling was disappearing bit by bit. After all, when it was impossible to change something, most people chose to adapt and get accustomed to it. It was the inherent adaptability of human beings. In other words, people would always roll with the punches.

However, there were always exceptions to every rule, and some people just didn't give up! Xu Que was an example of this kind of person, who was always rebellious. This kind of person would end up either leading a miserable life or becoming a legendary great man! Fortunately, Xu Que had the assistance of the System and kismet, which meant he was bound to live a long time and become legendary!

"Frankly, you've made a wise decision, Guardian Mo!" On their journey, Duan Jiude made this comment sincerely as he patted Mo Junchen's shoulder. "When I was in the Four Great Continents, which was an inconspicuous small place, I thought the Void Training Stage would be the highest stage I could reach for the rest of my life. When I started to hang around with this guy, I've gone through many difficulties, but I've also achieved many accomplishments which were unimaginable before!"

Mo Junchen smiled but said nothing. His smile was quite wry. Deep in his heart, a voice was echoing, "We are different!" However, he knew there was no way back for him now. Mo Junchen really had no choice. If he jumped out of this pirate ship, he would have to face the Heaven Palace Academy and the Divine Farmer Clan alone, which meant he would be killed. So Mo Junchen preferred to stay in this pirate ship that was full of danger and hope! Because…in fact…it was quite thrilling!

…..

Soon, more than ten days passed by in the blink of an eye! Xu Que and his teammates were still hurrying to the Heaven Palace Academy. And their trip was a little bit risky. Many people in the Ziwei Celestial Realm had heard about them. Although most people didn't give a sh*t, it was still difficult to miss Xu Que and his teammates on their journey. If they were recognized, the Heaven Palace Academy would be warned. Then they would have to face the pursuit and attack of the Heaven Palace Academy. So Xu Que and his teammates kept a low profile. With Buttface and Duan Jiude as the guides, they spent most of their time on small trails, so that they could avoid encountering any cultivators here.

Also, they were fading in people's memories gradually as time went by. After all, more than ten days had passed and the Heaven Palace Academy had failed to find any traces of Xu Que and his teammates. After using the trick of diversion with his replica in the Taiyin Celestial Realm, Xu Que hadn't shown up yet. For many cultivators, this was no longer a topic of conversation. The Heaven Palace Academy was quite embarrassed after losing track of Xu Que. So they kept silent about this issue and continued to search for Xu Que and his teammates secretly.

However, they never expected that Xu Que and his teammates were in the Ziwei Celestial Realm and were sneaking toward their headquarters so that they could rob the grave of the Heaven Palace Academy's founder!

…..

"Little brat, after going around those mountains, we will arrive at the mountain behind the Heaven Palace Academy!" On a desolate mountain path, Buttface, who was covering his body with a lot of dried grass, said to Xu Que. Xu Que rolled his eyes, "Just stand up! Do you really think nobody will see you just because you're covered in grass?"

"D*mn! I'm commemorating the game I used to play in the R Nation. Little brat, I suggest we should open an Internet cafe on the Heaven Continent! I bet the business would be very good!" Buttface said as his eyes lit up.

"Nonsense! Do you know how to adjust hardware? Do you know how to adjust software? Do you know how to adjust CPU? How could you open an Internet cafe if you know nothing about computers? Let's talk about the business at hand! These mountains are full of restrictive spells. Have you checked them before?" Buttface was stunned by Xu Que's questions. His mind was dragged back to the business they were dealing with here. Buttface put on a long face immediately. Duan Jiude also started to stare at the sky at this moment. According to their expressions, the subtext was quite obvious–if we could have broken those restrictive spells, we would have robbed that grave. That is the reason we have waited till now!

"Come on! Buttface, don't tell me you are not able to break those restrictive spells!" Xu Que frowned. He knew clearly that Buttface was quite good at Arrays and restrictive spells, besides having his tough physique. Normally, if an Array or a restrictive spell could baffle Buttface, the System would also be stumped. Ultimately, the level of the System was too low at this moment.

"Little brat, don��t screw it up at this crucial juncture! I thought you were able to break these restrictive spells!" Buttface said as he looked at Xu Que.

"How could I break them? I guess they were set up by the founder and the previous Deans of the Heaven Palace Academy! Also, that mountain is their forbidden area. How could I break those restrictive spells easily?" Xu Que said with embarrassment.

"You can break them with your Act-Tough King's Leg! I think these restrictive spells could be broken after being kicked by you several times!" Buttface replied.

"I'm afraid that's not going to work!" Mo Junchen said and shook his head. "The leg art of the Faction Leader is quite powerful. However, it could also make a big noise. Once we make noise here, the Heaven Palace Academy will be startled!"

"Well, I don't think so!" Xu Que said with a smile. Seeing his smile, Buttface and Duan Jiude were excited, "Little brat, do you have a method to break the spells?"

"Do you remember the Secret Door we encountered in the ruins of that ancient battlefield? To be exact, it was a space of a Godhead. Actually, it was a combination of a Divine Aperture's Shell and a remnant soul. Although the Godhead has run away, that Divine Aperture's Shell was obtained by me!" Xu Que said with a smile as he activated the interface of the System. In an empty inventory grid, the Divine Aperture's Shell could be seen.

"Holy sh*t! The Divine Aperture's Shell! It sounds quite extraordinary! Little brat, take it out and let us have a look!" Buttface exclaimed because he had been impressed by the name of this item.

"You can't see it even I take it out. However, it can be used to isolate something from the outside world, and then it couldn't even be seen by a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven! I will place it outside those restrictive spells. Then nobody will be startled no matter how big a noise we will make later!" Xu Que said as he looked at those giant mountains which weren't far away with a smile.

…..

At the same time, in the Star Picking Pavilion of the North Building in the Heaven Palace Academy, a young man was resting by sitting on a large piece of square chilly jade. The magnificent Celestial Core Power in the chilly jade was gushing into the man's body continuously.

It was an extremely rare treasure and its name was the Heaven Soul Dark Jade. This treasure could accelerate the cultivator's absorption of Celestial Core Power. Also, it could toughen the user's physique. Therefore, it was a priceless treasure! The young man was sitting on the jade with his legs crossed. It seemed that he was almost merged with the Heaven Soul Dark Jade as if he was born on this jade. This treasure had accompanied him for many years. So the man's Cultivation Stage and strength were quite significant!

KNOCK! KNOCK! At this time, the door of his room was knocked on by someone. The young man opened his eyes slowly and looked at the door expressionlessly. It seemed that the man outside the door had sensed the gaze. Immediately, he knelt down and said reverently, "Young Master, the death anniversary of the second-generation Dean will be held in two weeks. The Master of the House asked me to remind you to participate in the worship with sacrificial offerings!"

"Is my grandpa's death anniversary coming so soon? Okay, I got it!" The young man was stunned a bit. Then he replied with a smile. He knew he would get the inheritance from his ancestors on the death anniversary. For him, it was a good thing and also a secret!

"Young Master, I have something else to report!" At this time, the man outside the door continued after a short hesitation, "Today, I got the report from the apprentices and teachers who were sent out. They haven't found Xu Que's father and his followers yet!"

"Ask them to continue the search. And don't bother me again unless they have made substantial progress! Now, leave me!" The young man said indifferently.

"As you wish! Farewell, Young Master!" The man outside the door replied reverently and left in a hurry.

The young man continued staring at the door with a cold smile on his face, "Xu Que's father? Heh! I didn't expect that the one who Jiang Hongyan loves is the son of an old liar! His lowly bloodline is really disgusting! However, I really want to know why Jiang Hongyan could fall in love with Xu Que, who is a nobody, and refuse the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus of the Sage Sect!"

After that, a strand of regret appeared on his face. TSK! TSK! "I wouldn't have given such a perfect woman to that Divine Being of Taoist Fetus if I didn't need to take the interests of the whole into account!" The young man licked his lips as a creepy light flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 1315: Someone Is Singing

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

BANG! BANG! BANG! At this moment, in the mountains behind the Heaven Palace Academy, deafening noises were echoing all around this giant chain of mountains. However, no one who wasn't in the immediate vicinity of Xu Que and his gang could hear a sound coming from here. The people who weren't with them couldn't even see that there were any people in the mountains. It all seemed very tranquil.

Actually, this was just an illusion! Xu Que had set up an illusory Array with the Divine Aperture's Shell. The illusory Array had recorded everything going on the mountains behind the Heaven Palace Academy and displayed it at the perimeter of the mountains. Also, the flow of Spiritual Qi and the transmission of sound were isolated by the Array. Now Xu Que and his teammates had sneaked into those mountains and started to bombard the restrictive spells with all kinds of magic arts rapidly!

Xu Que had planned to use his Act-Tough King's Leg, which needed a lot of Acting Tough Points. He worried it would hamper the upgrading of the System. When he hit the restrictive spell with his Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod, which was strengthened by his physique and Celestial Core Power, he found the restrictive spells cracked. He was so happy to see that. Now he could save a lot of Acting Tough Points and just hit the restrictive spells with the purple-gold rod directly! Although the purple-gold rod was not very efficient, it was better than attacking the spells with the Act-Tough King's Leg, which would expend 100,000 Acting Tough Points in each attack!

Buttface and Mo Junchen also participated in the attack on the restrictive spells. More and more cracks were appearing on those spells. Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning, who were not powerful enough, had to act as guards at this time. With the continuous attacks of Xu Que, Buttface, and Mo Junchen, almost all the restrictive spells on the mountains behind the Heaven Palace Academy were broken. Soon, Xu Que and his teammates arrived at the largest mountain in this forbidden area.

"Little brat, here it is! All the previous Deans of the Heaven Palace Academy are buried here!" With a compass in his hand, Duan Jiude shouted excitedly as he pointed at this cloud-kissing giant mountain. Actually, Duan Jiude had come to this place together with Buttface before. However, they were not able to get this close. If they had attacked the restrictive spells, they would have been spotted by the Heaven Palace Academy. Fortunately, Xu Que had brought the Divine Aperture's Shell here. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to sneak into this place.

"I have heard that this place is also the former site of the Heaven Palace Sect, where Li Xuanqi established the Heaven Palace Academy. So, besides the previous Deans of the Heaven Palace Academy, I guess even some big shots of the Heaven Palace Sect are also buried here!" Buttface said at this time. His serious expression was quite rare.

"The Heaven Palace Sect…was in the era of the Celestial Emperors! I guess some Celestial Kings or even Celestial Emperors are also buried here!" Duan Jiude said curiously.

"Calm down! When we were still on the Four Great Continents, even Xuanyuan Wanrong was not able to intimidate us! How could we be terrified by the Celestial Kings and the Celestial Emperors here? If they were alive, they would have shown up in this world!" Xu Que replied calmly. Xu Que was not sure whether the graves in this mountain were dangerous or not. If some powerful cultivators like Xuanyuan Wanrong were really hiding here, they could have big trouble! However, big trouble didn't mean they would be killed here. As long as they could find an opportunity, they would do their best to overcome the difficulties.

"I believe what Faction Leader said is right! Now, the world has recovered. If the Celestial Kings or Celestial Emperors were really alive, they would have come out from their graves!" Mo Junchen said, nodding his head.

Xu Que smiled a bit. Actually, Mo Junchen had misunderstood him. He didn't deny the existence of the Celestial Kings or the Celestial Emperors. What he wanted to say was that it was not the time for the Celestial Emperors or Celestial Kings to come out. For example, Xuanyuan Wanrong had just woken up on the Four Great Continents. Also, according to Xuanyuan Wanrong's words, some big shots like her were also buried on the Four Great Continents. Among them, she woke up earliest. But it was not easy for them to come out. So, they weren't extinct, and they were doing their best to come out from their graves!

"Okay! Just cut the cr*p! Let's break the last restrictive spell and ransack their graves! The rise of the Exploding Heavens Faction depends on this action!" Buttface urged impatiently at this time. He was already itching for a try. He was wondering what kind of treasure or inheritance could be hidden in this grave. Duan Jiude, Liu Jingning, and Mo Junchen were also looking forward to the things that could be found in this place. All of them wanted to obtain fortune or opportunity that could enhance their strength. It was highly possible that a huge fortune was in front of them. It was just like a big gold mine that was waiting for their mining.

"Let's do it!" Xu Que squinted his eyes and said seriously. Then, they started to attack the formation lines of the restrictive spell on this giant mountain. The formation lines of the restrictive spells or Arrays were just like the microcircuit on an electronic chip. If the microcircuits were damaged, the entire chip would stop working immediately.

After several days, Xu Que, Buttface, and Mo Junchen had only destroyed half of a formation line. Apparently, the restrictive spell on this mountain was much more powerful than those in the peripheral area.

"D*mn! Why are these restrictive spells so tough now? I am exhausted!" Buttface complained, as he frowned and took a minute to relax his paws and legs.

"It is highly possible that these restrictive spells were set up in the era of the Celestial Emperors!" Mo Junchen said seriously. "Luckily, these restrictive spells have been weakened over the years! Otherwise, we would not be able to cause a scratch on them"

"So, should we say thanks to time?" Buttface rolled his eyes as he scratched at the restrictive spells with his paws. After several days' hard work, they had only destroyed half of a formation line, much slower progress than they had made in the rest of the mountains!

"Little brat, I suggest you try your Act-Tough King's Leg here!" Duan Jiude suggested as he looked at Xu Que at this time.

"Okay!" Xu Que, who was about to use it, nodded his head. He knew the last restrictive spell on this mountain was extremely tough. It was the time to use his real strength. Otherwise, they might have to spend dozens of days here. The next moment, Xu Que lifted his leg and was about to use the Act-Tough King's Leg, which would consume 100,000 Acting Tough Points.

BOOM! Just at this moment, an enormous bang came from the inside of the mountain, as if a deafening thunder had exploded right in their minds. Then, the formation lines in front of them started to move like tadpoles. After a short while, the formation lines formed an entrance.

"Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!" Buttface and Duan Jiude, who were totally terrified, turned around and were about to escape. It was really horrible. A grave, which was thought to be uninhabited, opened the restrictive spells automatically as if it were welcoming its visitors. They had guessed that Celestial Kings and Celestial Emperors were buried in this place. How could they stay calm at this moment?

"Wait a minute! I heard something!" Suddenly, Mo Junchen frowned and shouted as he put his ears to the stones on that mountain. RUMBLE! However, just when his ear touched the stone, a wall collapsed and a murky, dark cave appeared in front of them abruptly. All of them were totally confused. "What's going on?"

"The…Qingcheng…Mountain…" Almost at the same time, they heard an intermittent and obscure sound from inside the cave. It was a shrill voice as if someone was singing by pinching its throat. The sound of singing was not beautiful but quite creepy!

GASP! Duan Jiude gasped and said in terror, "My God! There is definitely a woman who is singing in this grave!"

"Wait! I think I have figured out the identity of the singer!" Buttface waved his paw and frowned because he knew the situation was quite complicated!

Chapter 1316: A Weird Story

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Who is that?" Xu Que, Duan Jiude, Liu Jingning, and Mo Junchen fixed their eyes on Buttface at the same time. Buttface answered seriously, "Bai Suzhen!"

"Ah?" Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, and Liu Jingning were totally confused by this answer. Xu Que twitched his lips and said, as he patted Buttface's head angrily, "Are you insane? Bai Suzhen has nothing to do with the one in this cave! Don't talk irresponsibly if you have no idea what you are talking about!"

"Holy sh*t! I am not kidding! That's definitely Bai Suzhen. Just pay attention to what she is singing now. The "Qingcheng Mountain"…" Then, Buttface started to sing by pinching his throat, "I am Bai Suzhen living in the Qingcheng Mountain! I obtained this human form after 1,000 years' cultivation! Ah, ah, ah, ah…" He even started to writhe his body like a snake passionately.

Seeing this, Xu Que knocked Buttface's forehead with his palm immediately. "Shut up!" Xu Que shouted as he stared at Buttface with embarrassment. Buttface associated the lyrics of "Qingcheng Mountain" with Bai Suzhen, which meant he had really learned a lot when he was on Earth! Actually, Xu Que also heard the sound of singing in the cave now. Although he also heard the words of "Qingcheng Mountain" vaguely, the melody was not correct. Also, there should have been other words in the lyrics. But the singer was too far away. None of them could hear the lyrics clearly.

"D*mn! Little brat, can't I express what I think? You tell me, who is singing in this cave?" Buttface said angrily. After being slapped by Xu Que, he was furious out of humiliation. He had to retort to express his anger.

"Just knock it off! I'm not going to guess. This is just a love song that has been handed down for many years!" Liu Jingning asked curiously at this time.

"A love song?" Xu Que and the others turned to Liu Jingning. Liu Jingning said softly, "I spent most of my time on the Heaven Continent in the library of the Utopia Faction. I remember a story about the love between a building head of the Heaven Palace Sect and the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction. It was recorded in an ancient book!"

"Is it a touching love story?" Buttface asked. Liu Jingning nodded her head, "At that time, the Utopia Faction was much more powerful and prestigious than it is now. The Heaven Palace Sect, which was a top sect on the Heaven Continent, was even more powerful than the Utopia Faction. A building head of the Heaven Palace Sect, whose status was unimaginably high, fell in love with the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction. However, their relationship was ridiculed by the public. Some even said the Holy Virgin seduced that building head with the magic arts of Demonic Sects so that she could gain higher status in this world. At last, they managed to tie the knot!"

"This is not touching at all!" Buttface said, frowning.

"Later, the Heaven Palace Sect lost a High-grade Celestial Artifact. Everyone was sure it had been stolen by the Holy Virgin who was living in the Heaven Palace Sect and had just given birth to a child. The building head did his best to protect her. He even fought against the other three building heads. At last, the Holy Virgin was captured. The building head was exiled to the ancestral grave!"

After saying that, Liu Jingning stopped for a while. Then she sighed and continued, "After that, they ruined all the cultivation achievements of the Holy Virgin and drove her out of the Heaven Palace Sect. However, she just knelt outside the gate of the Heaven Palace Sect every day and hoped she could see the building head and her child. But her requests were ignored by the Heaven Palace Sect. When the Dean finished his secluded cultivation, he allowed her to go to the mountain behind the sect. However, as the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction, she was not qualified to enter the ancestral grave. So she could only watch that building head outside the restrictive spell. At last, she died at the entrance of the grave after singing a song to the building head! This song was recorded and kept by the Utopia Faction!" Liu Jingning said as she looked at the pitch-dark cave in front of her, "I know this is the song that was sung by the Holy Virgin at that time!"

"What? This is…" Duan Jiude asked in surprise. Xu Que was also surprised and he thought, "This story was so weird! How could that Holy Virgin, who managed to meet that building head with great difficulties, die directly after singing a song to him? Something was definitely wrong about this story! For example, how did the Holy Virgin die?"

As if she could read his thoughts, Liu Jingning continued, "Till now, nobody knows how the Holy Virgin died! Some said she died from diseases caused by kneeling outside the Heaven Palace Sect after losing her cultivation achievements. Someone else said he saw the Dean kill her in front of the building head!" Liu Jingning shook her head sadly. After all, that Holy Virgin was Liu Jingning's senior. Her miserable fate was quite lamentable. However, Liu Jingning realized she couldn't hate the Heaven Palace Sect as it had long gone and only the Heaven Palace Academy was left now.

"Eh…why did he kill her? They had ruined her cultivation achievements, right? That Dean was so sinister and cruel!" Duan Jiude said, frowning..

"I have a feeling that something is wrong with this story! So many details are unknown. And it is quite creepy too!" Xu Que said thoughtfully. For him, this was not a love story but a horror story! They could still hear the sound of singing from a woman in the cave.

"Indeed, it is a weird story. It seems the one who recorded this story didn't dare to write down too many details, which makes this story so mysterious and creepy!" Mo Junchen added.

Xu Que nodded his head. Many key points were not mentioned in this story. For example, why did so many people object to the relationship between the building head and the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction? Normally, nobody dared to criticize the woman of a building head whose status was that high. Also, the Heaven Palace Sect just lost a High-grade Celestial Artifact. According to the descriptions of Liu Jingning, the Heaven Palace Sect was a top sect at that time. How could the four building heads fight for a Celestial Artifact? After locking the building head in the ancestral grave, they ruined the Holy Virgin's cultivation achievements but didn't kill her. Also, they allowed her to kneel at the gate of the Heaven Palace Sect for a long time, which was totally unreasonable! After all, her behavior would impair the reputation of the Heaven Palace Sect!

Of course, these weren't the most conspicuous doubtful point. The most conspicuous point was where was the child of the Holy Virgin? It was never mentioned in the story. Also, since the Dean took the Holy Virgin to meet that building head, why did he kill her in front of the building head? Did he worry that the Holy Virgin would say something inappropriate? Or did he want to aggravate the Building Head by doing that? It was such a messy and illogical story and so weird. But it was still recorded and kept by the Utopia Faction till today!

"Wait a moment! You've talked about this story for a long time. But I still have a question!" Buttface stepped out and asked at this moment, "Who stole that High-grade Celestial Artifact?"

"….." His question was ignored by the others here. "Who stole that Celestial Artifact? That wasn't the key point of this story!"

"Hey! Listen, it seems as if she has stopped singing. Now, she is talking!" Duan Jiude said curiously as he placed his ears on the wall of the cave. The next moment, they heard a clear voice. "Xuanyuan…Xuanyuan…" The woman who had been singing before just now started to cry as she murmured a name.

Xu Que was surprised immediately. "Xuanyuan? This family name is so familiar!

Wait! Xuanyuan? A building head of the Heaven Palace Sect? Xuanyuan Wanrong?" GASP! Instantly, Xu Que gasped. Does it mean the building head in this story was Xuanyuan Wanrong? Is Xuanyuan Wanrong a man who dressed like a woman?

Chapter 1317: What a Coincidence!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Que was shocked and even terrified by the thought he had just had! The woman continued shouting "Xuanyuan"! The coincidence between Xuanyuan Wanrong and the name this woman was shouting was definitely cause for concern. It was a fact that Xuanyuan Wanrong used to be the building head of the Heaven Palace Sect's South Building. Although Liu Jingning hadn't mentioned which building the building head this woman was lamenting belonged to, the fact that he and Xuanyuan Wanrong were both building heads sent shivers up Xu Que's spine!

"Jingning, is the name of that building head mentioned in the story?" Xu Que asked, looking at Liu Jingning. Liu Jingning was a bit confused by his question. Then she answered, "I remember their names are mentioned at the end of the story. The name of the building head was Xuanyuan Qishang and the Holy Virgin's name was Guan Chuchu!"

"What? Xuanyuan Qishang…?" Xu Que frowned and thought to himself, "Since their family name was Xuanyuan, then…I think I have almost figured out the relationship between them. Apparently, Xuanyuan Wanrong was related to Xuanyuan Qishang. It was highly possible that Xuanyuan Wanrong was the child of Xuanyuan Qishang and Guan Chuchu! Of course, this was just speculation. Maybe Xuanyuan Wanrong was Xuanyuan Qishang's sister. Anyway, they must be relatives!"

"Holy sh*t! I am so smart that I have figured out the reason for the Heaven Palace Sect's extermination!" Buttface shouted in surprise. Duan Jiude's eyes lit up, and he shouted too as he looked at Buttface excitedly, "Mr. Buttface, so have I!"

"Mr. Duan, you are also very smart!" Buttface said as he looked at Duan Jiude. Then they shouted together as they shook hands, "We have found the truth!"

"This extermination was definitely caused by revenge!" Buttface said confidently.

"Exactly!" Duan Jiude nodded his head, "Apparently, Xuanyuan Wanrong must be the child of Xuanyuan Qishang and Guan Chuchu. When her parents were killed, the Heaven Palace Sect adopted her. When she grew up, she managed to find out the truth about her life story!" Buttface added, "So she worked very hard in cultivation, nursing her desire for vengeance. At last, she managed to avenge her parents by wiping out the entire Heaven Palace Sect!"

The cooperation between Buttface and Duan Jiude was perfect. Each of them narrated their speculations perfectly in sync. However, Xu Que was quite calm. Their speculation was logical because Xuanyuan Wanrong really did had the motive to do that. However, Buttface and Duan Jiude had failed to find any solid evidence! Bold guesses could be used in the analysis of some issues. However, too many secrets were hiding behind this, which couldn't be understood with common sense!

"Your speculations don't hold water! At least not the part where the Heaven Palace Sect was wiped out by Xuanyuan Wanrong!" Xu Que said, shaking his head.

"Why?" Buttface and Duan Jiude asked as they looked at Xu Que in surprise.

"As you said, if Xuanyuan Wanrong had wiped out the Heaven Palace Sect after learning the truth, she would have had a deep hatred toward the Heaven Palace Sect. Do you remember what she said under the Celestial Burial Valley? She said she was the building bead of the Heaven Palace Sect's South Building. I didn't sense any hatred from her words. When she gave me an ID plate of a temporary apprentice of the South Building, I got a feeling from her tone that I was seeking a connection in a high place, which doesn't conform to your speculations!" Xu Que replied. Xu Que's instinct told him that Xuanyuan Wanrong had no idea about this story at all.

"Eh…" Buttface and Duan Jiude didn't know how to answer Xu Que.

"Faction Leader, I think you are trapped in a misconception!" Mo Junchen said at this time, "Because they share a family name, you just connect Xuanyuan Wanrong with Xuanyuan Qishang. I think it is also possible that Xuanyuan Wanrong is irrelevant to Xuanyuan Qishang. They just share a family name!"

"Boo! Guardian Mo, your speculation is even more absurd. The possibility of a coincidence like that is too low! They belong to the same sect and share the same family name. Nobody believes that is irrelevant!" Buttface said disdainfully.

Mo Junchen answered with a wry smile, "I am talking about a possibility. After all, we can't rule out these possibilities! However, I don't think it is the time for us to talk about that now. In this cave…" Mo Junchen continued to say as he pointed at the opening of the cave, "…the biggest question now is who was the woman who was singing just now? Are we still going to enter the cave?" Mo Junchen looked at Xu Que.

Xu Que nodded his head, "What you said is correct! The woman in this cave is the key point! However, I think it is always good to know more about this cave and the one in it before going into it. In case we should find the soul of Guan Chuchu in this cave, it will be quite interesting, right?" After saying that, Xu Que couldn't help but smile delightedly. If Guan Chuchu's soul was in this cave, the soul of Xuanyuan Qishang might also be here. Once he released both of them to the outside world, the Heaven Palace Academy would be doomed!

However, Xu Que sensed something was wrong the next moment. He didn't expect anybody would reply to him when he finished speaking. However, Mo Junchen, Buttface, Duan Jiude ,and Liu Jingning were all staring at Xu Que at this moment. In their eyes, Xu Que could see surprise, confusion, and even horror! Then Xu Que realized that they were not staring at him, but at something behind him!

"No! Come on! Oh, no! Don't tell me that woman is standing behind me at this moment!" Xu Que said with an embarrassed smile. His heart started to tremble at this moment. His back was facing the opening of the cave. He got a feeling that something horrible was just behind his back!

Xu Que didn't believe something like this could happen to him because he thought his kismet was pretty good.But when he saw Buttface, Duan Jiude, and Mo Junchen nod their heads toward him, Xu Que knew a disaster was imminent. He took out a Divine Escape Spell and held it tightly in one of his hands. Then he took out the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod with the other hand. In this way, he could attack or escape at any time. If the woman behind him was really Guan Chuchu, her strength must be very horrible, since the story said she was killed outside the Heaven Palace Sect's ancestral grave after losing all her cultivation achievements. However, it was just a story! Nobody knew whether it was true or not.

"Brother…Que, she is looking at you!" Buttface said with a trembling voice at this time. He was holding Duan Jiude's hand, and both of them were about to run away. Liu Jingning also seemed very nervous, and her face had turned pale. She was ready to provide assistance to Xu Que. Mo Junchen said seriously, his face covered with cold sweat, "Faction Leader, we…are under her control and can't move at this moment!"

"What?" Xu Que was stunned! He didn't expect the woman would be so powerful! She didn't launch an attack. But she had managed to restrain Mo Junchen who was at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage! "Wait! No way! Why don't I have the feeling of being controlled? I can move freely!" Xu Que was surprised. He lifted his arm and found he was not restrained at all.

"Xuanyuan…" A shrill voice rang out from behind him at this time. It sounded like the woman was shouting right next to Xu Que's ears. Her voice was so creepy and thrilling! "Holy sh*t…" Xu Que shouted and turned around. He was about to attack the woman with his rod and escape with the Divine Escape Spell.

Suddenly, the woman shouted again, "My child…Xuanyuan…my child…" The next moment, a figure flew by in front of Xu Que's eyes. Now he was not able to move; it was as if he was being restrained by a great power. The next moment, Xu Que rose up into the air and his body was turned around slowly. At last, he was sucked into the woman's embrace!

Chapter 1318: The Mystery of Brother Que's Life Story

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Que was totally confused by what had just happened to him. He certainly didn't expect he would be held tightly in someone's arms at this time. Xu Que had figured out that the one who was hugging him was just a strand of soul that should only bring him a feeling of chilliness. Inexplicably, Xu Que could feel a kind of warmth in his heart, which was so tender that he even wanted to shed happy tears…

It was a feeling that Xu Que had never experienced before. However, he knew the feeling had a name–a mother's love! Yes! This is a mother's love! Xu Que, who had been an orphan, had never experienced this feeling before! But today! At this moment! He suddenly had this feeling! "How could this be? How could this be possible? Could it be that I…I am the son of this woman?" Xu Que was totally puzzled. All kinds of confused ideas piled into his mind and made his brain a messy place. After being wrapped in this sincere and warm mother love, Xu Que was totally stunned and had lost the ability to think.

"Xuanyuan…my child…" The woman's voice was still echoing in Xu Que's ears. However, Xu Que didn't feel any upset or terror. On the contrary, Xu Que felt the woman's voice was so gentle, so kind, and so comfortable! It felt like a mother who was calling her child to come home and have dinner. Now, he really had an opportunity to feel the call of a mother!

"My God! Does this mean the mystery of Brother Que's life story has been solved? I didn't expect that his family name would also be Xuanyuan!" Outside the cave, Buttface, who had been restrained up until now, shouted in disbelief. Duan Jiude was also dumbfounded, and he didn't believe what he was seeing. Only Mo Junchen was very calm at this moment. He said, frowning, "No way! The Faction Leader's bone age is less than 100 years. If this woman is really Guan Chuchu, her child would be more than tens of thousands of years old now! How could our Faction Leader be her child?"

"Guardian Mo, are you insane? Maybe they used a kind of magic art to preserve Brother Que's body, so that he could begin to grow up in recent years!" Buttface answered at this time. Mo Junchen opened his mouth but really didn't know how to respond to Buttface. After all, the method mentioned by Buttface was possible! If Xu Que's body had been preserved when he was born, he would stop growing up and his bone age wouldn't increase. When the magic art was canceled after tens of thousands of years, he would still be a newly born child! However, this issue was still so weird! It still seemed so coincidental?

"Could Xu Que meet his mother in such a coincidental way?" Mo Junchen frowned as he was thinking because this issue was so incredible!

"She…is Guan Chuchu!" Liu Jingning, who had kept silent for a long time, came to herself and said in shock at this time. She was shocked by the woman who was hugging Xu Que. This woman looked exactly the same as the portrait kept in the Utopia Faction. Therefore she must be Guan Chuchu!

GASP! Buttface and Duan Jiude couldn't help but gasp on the spot! A moment ago, they were still doubting the identity of this woman. Now, they were quite sure that Xu Que was the son of Guan Chuchu!

"Finally, the mystery is solved! Now, we are backed by such a powerful cultivator! I believe we will be invincible on the Heaven Continent in the future!" Buttface said excitedly.

"I am so glad that the Exploding Heavens Faction will rise soon!" Duan Jiude also said with a happy smile.

At this time, Xu Que had restored his sanity gradually. He knew something was definitely wrong with this situation. After all, his identity was quite special! First, Xu Que was not born in this world. When Xu Que crossed over to this world, his physique and soul were separated. However, he had remolded the physique many times. Now it had been perfectly merged with his soul. In other words, the former owner of the body had nothing to do with him now. He was Xu Que at this moment. How could the parents of an Earthling live in an era tens of thousands of years ago?

Also, why was this woman so sure that Xu Que was her child? Had she lost her mind? Or did she mistake Xu Que for her child after seeing Xu Que's appearance? However, one major point was that Xu Que wasn't showing his real appearance at this moment. After disguising himself as an old man with a Celestial Grade Disguise Puppet, Xu Que hadn't canceled the disguise effect yet. Even now he still looked like an old man.

"Could it be that his appearance as an old man was exactly the same as that of Guan Chuchu's child? The possibility seemed extremely low! But…why is this feeling so good? Is this so-called mother's love? This is definitely the genuine and sincere mother's love which is pure and unadulterated!" Xu Que was feeling an unprecedented peace as if he was a small child who was being hugged by his mother tightly. He felt the entire world was hugging and protecting him!

BOOM! A dull sound came from deep within the cave at this time. A magnificent momentum gushed out slowly from the cave as if it could crush everything in this world.

"What…is that? Is it the momentum of a cultivator who is more powerful than a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven? Could it be a Celestial King? A Celestial Prime? Or even a Celestial Emperor?" Duan Jiude couldn't help but shout in surprise at this time. They hadn't felt any momentum from the woman. She had just shown up and restrained Xu Que and his teammates quietly. The noise from the cave meant that another horrible thing had woken up and was about to come out of the cave. From its horrible momentum, they knew this one must be more powerful than a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven or even a Celestial King!

"How dare you trespass on the forbidden area of the Heaven Palace Academy?" Suddenly, Xu Que and his teammates heard a severe and deafening reproach, which was echoing in the cave. Then that horrible momentum gushed out toward Xu Que and his teammates rapidly as if it was about to crush them. Just at this moment, an invisible figure flashed by in front of their eyes!

"How dare you do harm to my child? Just die!" A sonorous and angry yell which was full of killing intent echoed at this moment. Then they heard an abrupt collision of swords which only lasted for an instant. The next moment, the horrible momentum just faded away directly. After that, an illusory figure, who looked like a tall,strong man walked out of the cave slowly. He was also a soul whose appearance looked quite familiar. However, his eyes were as empty as the eyes of Guan Chuchu. With a skull in his hand, he was walking toward Xu Que and Guan Chuchu slowly.

Guan Chuchu still held Xu Que in her arms as if she had heard nothing. She continued to murmur in a low voice, "Xuanyuan…my child…" The man's actions were quite similar with the actions of Guan Chuchu. What he was murmuring was, "How dare you do harm to my child? Just die!" The man walked up toward them slowly and fixed his empty eyes on Xu Que. Instantly, Xu Que got another feeling–a father's love! "Could he be… Xuanyuan Qishang?" Xu Que was shocked by what he saw. The next moment, the man appeared behind the woman instantly. Then he made eye contact with Xu Que.

All of a sudden, the entire area dropped into a dead silence. Xu Que kept silent, while Buttface, Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, and Liu Jingning who were outside the cave didn't dare to say a word! Like the woman, they didn't sense any momentum from this man either. However, the owner of that horrible momentum who might be a Celestial King or even a Celestial Prime disappeared when this man showed up. A skull appeared in the man's hand. So it was highly possible that the owner of that horrible momentum had been eliminated by this man! The strength of this man must be unimaginably horrible!

The next moment, the man lifted his arm and placed his hand on Xu Que's head gently. He had stopped repeating those words. Now he started to say in a gentle and soft tone, "My daughter…don't be afraid! Daddy is here!"

Xu Que, Buttface, Duan Jiude, "???"

hapter 1319: I Am Your Patriarch!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Daughter? Buttface, Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, and Liu Jingning looked at Xu Que in surprise. "My God!" Duan Jiude was totally shocked.

"After hanging around with Xu Que for so many years, we've just found out this guy is a woman? 'When rabbits are lying on the earth, male rabbits always use their front feet to scratch, while female rabbits always close their eyes. If the two kinds of rabbits both run on the earth, who can tell which is male and which is female?'" Buttface even recited a line from a poem to illuminate their discovery!

"Could you keep quiet? How could you make fun of him at this moment?" Liu Jingning said as she stared at Buttface and Duan Jiude angrily. She knew Xu Que's gender very well. With such a big thing in his crotch, how could Xu Que be a woman? Mo Junchen also nodded his head and frowned slightly. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell something was wrong with this soul couple, who were not able to see Xu Que's appearance. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to call Xu Que their daughter! However, it could also prove that this couple made a mistake. Their child was a daughter, who might be Xuanyuan Wanrong in all likelihood!

"But…how could they make such a mistake?" This question puzzled Mo Junchen and also Xu Que. When Xuanyuan Qishang mentioned daughter in front of Xu Que, Xu Que was basically sure that Xuanyuan Wanrong was his daughter. After all, Xu Que was related to Xuanyuan Wanrong in some degree. This couple mistook him as their daughter because Xu Que used to get in touch with Xuanyuan Wanrong.

"Ahem, eh…seniors, actually, I am not your child. However, to some extent, I could be regarded as your son-in-law!" Xu Que said as he looked at the two souls with an embarrassed smile. He knew he had to be humble at this time. In front of these two extremely powerful souls, especially when he was held in the woman's arms, he would never find an opportunity to escape and could be crushed easily if he chose to act tough at this moment.

However, when Xu Que finished speaking, the two souls had no reaction at all. Guan Chuchu continued to murmur "Xuanyuan…my child…" repeatedly in a low voice, and Xuanyuan Qishang kept saying "My daughter, don't be afraid! Daddy is here" as he looked at Xu Que gently. They were just like two tape recorders who didn't have the ability of independent thinking. All they could do was just keep murmuring.

Xu Que realized they had been trapped in an embarrassing situation. With the Divine Escape Spell in his hand, Xu Que wanted to escape. And he might have opportunities to escape now. However, if he really ran away, he didn't know whether Buttface, Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, and Liu Jingning who were still outside the cave would be in danger. This was a risk he was not able to take. It seemed the couple in front of him had no intelligence. If he ran away, they might vent their anger on his teammates. The consequences would be unimaginable for Xu Que.

"Brother Que, what should we do now? It seems you have been captured by these two psychos. I think you should ask them to release me first! So that I can ask for help!" Buttface shouted at this time.

"Nonsense! Don't you see my words were ignored by them?" Xu Que said with embarrassment. Xu Que was not able to free himself from Guan Chuchu's embrace. He was unable to move at this moment. Also his words had been totally ignored by the couple! What could he do? Just wait here until their soul dissipated?

"What?" An amazed voice could be heard from the depths of the cave at this time. This obtrusive voice came from an energetic old man who was giving off a gust of horrible momentum. Apparently, he was also a cultivator who was more powerful than the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven! Xu Que and his teammates were totally terrified as they widened their eyes in terror. They could figure out this momentum was totally different from the momentum which had just disappeared. Obviously, it was from a different person! Apparently, a lot of old devils were hiding in this cave!

"Holy sh*t! Fortunately, we didn't enter this cave recklessly. Otherwise, we would have been chewed up by them now!" Buttface, who still had a lingering fear in his heart, said at this time. Duan Jiude also nodded his head and was about to say something. The next moment, they saw an old man was walking out slowly with his hands behind his back from the depths of the cave.

This white-haired old man looked quite young. Therefore, it was more appropriate to describe him as an old man with white hair and ruddy complexion. At this moment, his face was full of shock and terror. He stopped walking and stared at Guan Chuchu, Xuanyuan Qishang, and Xu Que who was held in Guan Chuchu's arms in a daze. "How…how could this be?" The old man's body started to tremble.

BOOM! Suddenly, Xuanyuan Qishang, who was looking at Xu Que gently, turned around and stared at the old man with horrible killing intent. Then Xuanyuan Qishang yelled angrily, "How dare you do harm to my child? Just die!" Then Xuanyuan Qishang dashed toward the old man at an incredible speed like a phantom.

FLOP! The old man dropped on his knees and dropped his head to the ground heavily as he shouted, "I greet you, my ancestor! I am your unfilial apprentice, Li Xuanqi! I mean no harm! Please forgive my careless disturbance!"

SWISH! Xuanyuan Qishang's soul stopped in front of Li Xuanqi abruptly. Xuanyuan Qishang ignored Li Xuanqi's words. But he didn't sense any evil intentions from Li Xuanqi, who had concealed his momentum. Therefore, Xuanyuan Qishang stopped and turned around and walked back toward Xu Que. His eyes became gentle and soft again. The next moment, he continued to say, "My daughter, don't be afraid! Daddy is here!"

"Daughter?" Hearing this, Li Xuanqi looked up at Xu Que who looked like an old man in Guan Chuchu's embrace. He was shocked by what he saw. "Is this old man at the Half-Celestial Stage a woman? Come on!"

"What are you looking at? My name is Doctor. My father calls me my Doctor! Why do you look at me in this way? Are you looking down upon my name?" Xu Que shouted as he stared at Li Xuanqi. At this time, Xu Que had no sense of guilt in his heart when he said Guan Chuchu and Xuanyuan Qishang were his parents. After all, according to the relationship between him and Xuanyuan Wanrong, it was reasonable for him to call Guan Chuchu mother and Xuanyuan Qishang father! The point was that Guan Chuchu and Xuanyuan Qishang had no reaction when Xu Que finished speaking. That made Xu Que happy because he knew he could make good use of them.

At the same time, the old man replied with a wry smile, "Please don't misunderstand me! I wouldn't dare to do that! I misheard just now! Please forgive my abruptness!"

"I will talk about it later! Now I have a question for you. You said you are Li Xuanqi. Are you the founder of the Heaven Palace Academy?" Xu Que asked seriously. He had figured out the situation. The couple, who had no intelligence, had mistaken him as their child. It was a precious opportunity to act tough! Xu Que made up his mind to make good use of it. Moreover, he had found the correct object of his search now. From the very beginning, they had planned to find Li Xuanqi. They didn't expect this old fart was still alive! Now, it was much easier!

"Right! I am Li Xuanqi, the first Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy! And you are…" Li Xuanqi replied politely. He knew it was okay for him to show respect to a cultivator at the Half-Celestial Stage. However, he was more interested in the two souls beside Xu Que at this moment. When he looked at the two souls, he became more and more frightened. The previous big shots of the Heaven Palace Sect had been buried in this ancestral grave on the mountain behind the Heaven Palace Academy. However, he didn't know that some big shots were still alive in this grave. Although they only had a strand of remnant soul left, their souls were still horribly powerful and had reached the level of the Celestial Prime or even the Celestial Emperor!

"Me? Heh, heh, you don't know me! How could you say you are the Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy? Li Xuanqi, if I remember correctly, you were banished from the Heaven Palace Sect. How dare you establish another sect with the good reputation of the Heaven Palace Sect?" Xu Que said with a cold smile. At this moment, he was still being hugged in Guan Chuchu's embrace. Therefore, he was not overbearing at all and even a little bit ridiculous no matter how hard he tried to sneer at Li Xuanqi now.

However, Li Xuanqi didn't dare to laugh at Xu Que at this time. When he heard Xu Que's words, he was totally shocked. "Are…you a senior in the Heaven Palace Sect?" He asked as his body was trembling with terror.

"Senior? Hah, hah! According to the seniority, I should be your Patriarch! Too many things have happened in the past. I had to seal myself. I didn't expect the Heaven Palace Sect had disappeared when I woke up. Then I found the Heaven Palace Academy. And I heard it was established by a banished apprentice of the Heaven Palace Sect! How ridiculous this is!" Xu Que sneered as he stared at Li Xuanqi. Then, he shouted overbearingly, "Li Xuanqi, just tell me what happened in the Heaven Palace Sect? How was it wiped out overnight?"
