“KAO! KAO!”

Buttface shouted derisively at Mo Junchen.

“Guardian Mo, you can’t do this! We’ve been practicing nonstop on the road. Our proud slogan…you’ve ruined it with your weak voice!”

“…..”

Mo Junchen was embarrassed beyond belief. If Xu Que hadn’t insisted, there was no way he would’ve shouted out the words anyway.

Reputation is the indicator of a powerful presence. Screaming slogans and shouting out words are not.

And yet…

The Assembly Hall was filled with silence.

Every person from the Sage Sect was looking extremely solemn. No one dared to speak. It was almost as if Mo Junchen’s slogan had succeeded in threatening them.

“With the Exploding Heavens Faction, what you will have is only extinction.

“The Exploding Heavens Faction will not only bring you dread, but also leave you with only a single needle and a piece of thread.”

This struck the people listening as confidence. Because who would shout words like these if they weren’t confident?

It was obvious. This confidence must have come from the old man!

Everyone’s gaze shifted toward Xu Que.

Mo Junchen read the atmosphere and was stunned.

“This wasn’t right!

“This moment…shouldn’t they be mocking us? Why were they all afraid?

Come on! How are we suddenly so fortunate this year? Does anyone really think our Exploding Heavens Faction is this awesome?”

“Elder Xu, what do you mean by this?” Sect Leader Xiao Tienhen finally spoke up.

His face looked sickly. Xu Que had clearly stated that he was here to pick a fight, which meant that he had it in for the Sage Sect. With such knowledge, how else could Xiao Tienhen look?

“What do I mean? Ho, ho…wasn’t I clear enough? I came to pick a fight!” Xu Que repeated this as he laughed coldly, as his hand swept out in front of him.

BOOM!

At the loud noise, the roof of the Sage Sect’s Assembly Hall ripped off and flew into the sky, crushed and useless.

Xu Que, carrying the monstrous Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine, quickly walked farther into the Assembly Hall, taking giant steps and appearing inimitable.

His gaze fell directly on the people inside as he spoke in a low voice, “Sect Leader Xiao, the words you used before…righteous people don’t speak with hidden words. Do you all really claim to not know why I am here at the Sage Sect today?”

SMACK!

Xiao Tienhen hit both arms of his chair as he immediately stood up with his face glowering angrily, “Elder Xu, do not go too far!”

“Ehh, you are still very strong. Isn’t it your Sage Sect that has gone too far?” Xu Que’s smile was completely without humor. And, in the very next moment, his humorless smile had been erased by his fury as he roared, “How dare you covet my daughter-in-law? Are all the members of the Sage Sect tired of living?”

BOOM!

A thunderous noise tore through the Assembly Hall, like a giant cannon exploding in everyone’s ears. It was painful and made everyone nervous.

Even the likes of Xiao Tienhen, a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, was stunned by Xu Que’s thunderous sound. Xiao Tienhen’s glowering face quickly started looking less angry and more painful.

In truth, Xu Que had a perfectly good reason to be here.

Jiang Hongyan had told the Sage Sect that she and a person named Xu Que were cultivation companions, and, for this reason, she hadn’t accepted what the Sage Sect had offered.

However, the Sage Sect had relentlessly insisted, hoping that she would accept the advances of the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus to bring forth the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet Taoist Fetus.

Hence, the trouble they found themselves in was entirely their own fault.

“Elder Xu, this is all a big misunderstanding. We didn’t know that Jiang Hongyan was your daughter-in-law. Moreover,our idea of the marriage was only a suggestion. It was never realized. Honestly, I need your advice. Our Holy Water River in the Snow Mountains, why was it moved away?” Xiao Tienhen skillfully steered the conversation away from the talk of marriage onto the matter of the river, trying to trap Xu Que.

Xiao Tienhen’s words were argumentative. If Xu Que was here to argue about the proposed matter of a marriage with Jiang Hongyan, then why couldn’t he find out why Xu Que had taken away their Holy Water River? They had both done things against each other.

However, Xu Que was enraged by Xiao Tienhen’s words and replied heatedly, “How can you even mention the Holy Water River to me? The river’s owner is Xuanyuan Wanrong, I believe that you all know this to be true. Xuanyuan Wanrong is my daughter-in-law. You have been benefiting greatly from using the river all these years. I expect to hear how you plan to make up for it!”

“? ? ?”

Xiao Tienhen was confounded by Xu Que’s response.

The Sage Sect elders within the hall were all equally bewildered.

“You took away our Holy Water River, and now you’re the one asking for compensation?

“The river’s owner is Xuanyuan Wanrong? Xuanyuan Wanrong is your daughter-in-law? What the h*ell are you talking about? You think you can say whatever you want!”

“Why bother talking? Let’s begin!” Buttface shouted, eager to fight.

Since there was so much of the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines on hand, the two spirits needed to take advantage of it now. When would be a better time?

“Right! What’s the point in talking? Let the fight begin, we can talk after!” Duan Jiude nodded his head, in complete agreement with Buttface.

Xu Que’s eyes narrowed, coldly laughing as he stared at Xiao Tienhen.

At the moment, there was nothing that could intimidate Xu Que. No matter what the Sage Sect had up their sleeves, Xu Que could defeat them at once by letting the two spirits out.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, Elder Lee walked up with a broad smile and approached Xu Que, “Elder Xu, fortune comes out of harmony! The Sage Sect is indeed in the wrong, but we are all people of the Tao, we don’t need to fight when there is a simple disagreement. Let’s all sit and have a cup of tea. The Sage Sect will provide a satisfactory answer.”

After these words, Elder Lee gazed respectfully at Xiao Tienhen and continued, “Sect Leader, may I take you aside? There is something that I’d like to discuss with you.”

Xiao Tienhen frowned in response, nodded his head, and walked directly away from the Assembly Hall.

Elder Lee silently motioned for the others to wait.

A moment later, Xiao Tienhen and Elder Lee walked out to the mountainside behind the Sage Sect.

“Elder Lee, you’ve asked me to step away. Were you thinking of having me open the door?” Xiao Tienhen expressed himself directly, not bothering to wait for Elder Lee to speak.

Elder Lee responded reverentially, “That’s correct, Sect Leader. I think we’ve arrived at the point where we should open the door to awake our ancestors. The times have changed, only with the ancestors’ arrival can we control Xu Que.”

Xiao Tienhen, nodding his head slightly, was deep in thought for a while before replying, “I didn’t plan on taking this move so quickly. But you’re right, the times have changed. I had almost forgotten about the door. It’s been a very long time since anyone has dared speak to me so boldly.”

As he spoke, a murderous expression came onto Xiao Tienhen’s face. Softly, he said, “Go back to settle with them. I will go to the sacred grounds!”

“Aye!” Elder Lee happily responded.

Within the Sage Sect’s sacred grounds was a door that he’d always wished to open.

When this particular door was opened, the entire Heaven Continent would enter a new era. All the power would be freshly redistributed, but he had confidence in the Sage Sect’s ability to maintain their position within the Heaven Continent. As for the Heaven Palace Academy…there were no guarantees. However, that could also mean extra resources for the Sage Sect in the future!

With the door’s opening, the most significant point was obviously the numerous ancestors of the Lee Family. The Ming Family didn’t have the same reinforcements!

So when the time came, he wouldn’t have to worry about the Ming Family rising in power through the union of the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus and the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet.

With his spirits lifting excitedly, Elder Lee returned to the Assembly Hall.

At the same moment, Xu Que and Duan Jiude were being waited on as they sat in the hall. They were acting exceedingly arrogant, as if this were their own home.

Buttface took things even farther, squatting to defecate in the center of the Assembly Hall. Without bothering to clean himself up, he sat directly onto the Sect Leader’s chair! He sat there pompously, propping one ankle over a knee.

The Sage Sect elders looked on with disgusted faces while standing silently.

Elder Lee walked in, full of smiles, ready to appease the visitors.

“Elder Xu, I’m sorry to have made you wait. Sect Leader has gone to prepare things. He will definitely provide you with a satisfactory solution,” he spoke warmly, no evidence of the dagger within his smile.

However, Xu Que took a glance at the sky and casually replied, “No need. Actually, my purpose today was only to warn you all not to insist upon my daughter-in-law. Your response has been cordial enough. I’m not ruthless. You don’t owe me anything. In fact, I have important matters to deal with and have to leave the Heaven Continent for quite some time. Don’t do anything stupid!”

As he finished speaking, Xu Que stood up and waved for Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the others to leave.

Their sudden departure was not because Xu Que had any feeling of danger. It was simply because time was running out. And truly, all they had really wanted to do was to shake things up with the Sage Sect. There’d been no intention of having a real battle.

After all, Xu Que wanted to keep living. He only had ten or so days left, and he must journey to the Four Great Continents. As for the Sage Sect, there would be time enough upon their return to handle them.

Elder Lee was left completely bewildered by their actions.

He stood stunned, almost to the point of spitting out blood.

“I finally convinced the Sect Leader to open the door. We were going to wake the ancestors in order to defeat you. And now, you’re saying that you’re going to leave?

“D*mn, don’t even think about it!

“The door is open. Today, no one can even think about leaving!”
