Uh?
The middle-aged innkeeper turned around and looked at who had arrived. He immediately frowned,
Lord Zeng!


Ha, ha, innkeeper, I have a special fate with this dude. For my sake, how about letting them go?
Lord Zeng squinted and smiled faintly.
But in that moment, Lord Zeng was very surprised. He hadn’t expected to meet Xu Que here. Even since levitating heavenwards to the Xuanhuang Continent, the life of Lord Zeng hadn’t been that smooth. He was a first-rate cultivator in the Xuanzhen Continent but he belonged in the bottom half of cultivators in the Half-Celestial Stage in the Xuanhuang Continent—there was a huge gap.
Fortunately, in recent years, lady luck had smiled at him. He had met some folks in the Buddhas Sect and even received guidance from their experts, and he had acquired and inherited some skills. In a few years, he had successfully entered the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage from the Half-Celestial Stage. He was also a little famous around the Seven Heir Cities. In ordinary times, the innkeeper would have certainly consented to Lord Zeng’s request. But now, he was acting according to the instructions of that young man, therefore it was impossible to do what Lord Zeng wished.

Lord Zeng, I’m afraid you can’t get involved in this matter. I would also advise you to stop being a busybody or you’ll suffer!
The innkeeper was cold and indifferent.



Oh? I wonder what my little friend did to offend you?
Lord Zeng was shocked, and he inquired further.
At the same time, Lord Zeng looked at Xu Que curiously. He found that Xu Que’s condition wasn’t right, and he was astounded. This was not the wild fellow who stopped at nothing that he had known!
And, during the past two or three years, he had seen the Heavenly Tripod List refreshed constantly in the Xuanhuang Continent. The three words Exploding Heavens Faction was not only famous in the Earth Continent, but also impressed everyone in the Xuanhuang Continent. Their news was exaggerated and broadcasted by everyone when it was transmitted.
Additionally, people from the Xuanhuang Continent often met people from the Earth Continent in the Mystery Land Trials. In this way, news exchanged between the two continents was always passing, so they were aware of a lot of information related to the Exploding Heavens Faction.
In the last two years, the Xuanhuang Continent had received the latest news that the famous Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect, as well as more than ten other major forces, were annihilated by the Exploding Heavens Faction. In the Earth Continent of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, the Litian Academy was the only major force left. They had several major forces as their allies. The most frightening thing was that all those forces voluntarily become subsidiaries of the Exploding Heavens Faction. In essence, besides the Zhen Yuan Daoists, the Earth Continent of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm belonged to the Exploding Heavens Faction. And the most important thing was that when Lord Zeng was in the Xuanzhen Continent, he knew that Xu Que was a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Hence, when he saw news of the Exploding Heavens Faction, he knew Xu Que was here. But he certainly didn’t expect to meet Xu Que again in such a situation.

Ha, ha, Lord Zeng, let me make something clear to you. This dude and this girl didn’t offend me, but they offended Young Master Ming!
Just then, the innkeeper smiled coldly and whispered to Lord Zeng.
As soon as Lord Zeng heard him, his expression changed instantly.
Young Master Ming was from the Ming Family which was a renowned and prestigious family. Also, the Ming family had produced a female Saint, who was the favorite concubine of the Emperor of Li Nation.
Although Lord Zeng had some recognition in that area, he was still far from grand enough when compared to Young Master Ming. Lord Zeng had never seen himself as that important or mighty. Over the years, in the Xuanhuang Continent, he had adjusted his mindset from a bigshot to a nobody. The only thing that kept him going in the negotiations was Xu Que’s status as a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction.
If Lord Zeng was inferior when compared to the Ming Family, then the whole of Li Nation, or even most of the Xuanhuang Continent, was inferior to a major force in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm. The Li Nation was a far cry from the Litian Academy; it wasn’t even qualified to compare to the Exploding Heavens Faction! As a result, Lord Zeng was contemplating whether he should mention Xu Que’s identity.



Listen to me, gentlemen. This dude has a very unusual origin. I advise you not to touch him before things get out of control, otherwise…
At the mention of that, Lord Zeng made a short pause to drop an obvious hint.
However, his remark when heard by the public was merely reduced to a joke.

Ha, ha, Lord Zeng, are you joking? What background could this fool have? Don’t tell me he’s an imperial relative of the Li Nation? Or people from other big countries?
The innkeeper burst into laughter.

What if he’s from the Exploding Heavens Faction?
Lord Zeng asked lightly.
As soon as his remark was made, everyone who was present was shocked. Even the innkeeper opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a second.
Then, there was a roar of laughter.

Ha, ha, Lord Zeng, are you out of your mind?


Exploding Heavens Faction? If you say that this dude is the prince of the Jin Nation, we might hesitate for a moment. But you actually say that this kid is from the Exploding Heavens Faction?


That’s a bit too outrageous.

Several guards, together with some busybody cultivators, shook their heads and laughed.


Although Lord Zeng was also a person with some esteem and what he said should have some credibility, this was too absurd. He should have thought of a better story. How could he think that they would believe that the fool was from the Exploding Heavens Faction.
These days, everyone knew how scary the Exploding Heavens Faction was. Each one of them could kill 100 enemies with their bare hands. They were dreadful geniuses who could kill enemies from two Cultivation Stages higher than theirs. Now Lord Zeng said that this fool came from the Exploding HeavensFaction. Who would believe him?

He’s really from the Exploding Heavens Faction!
Just then, Lin Yuxi’s eyes sparkled. Over the years, she had heard a lot of stories about the Exploding Heavens Faction. When Xu Que was on Earth, he called himself part of the Exploding Heavens Faction. She had always believed the reason why Xu Que was so outstanding was because he had joined the Exploding Heavens Faction.
But during this period of time, too many things had happened. Moreover, since she had just found Xu Que, she had forgotten about it. Now, when it was mentioned by Lord Zeng, Lin Yuxi recollected that Xu Que was a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction.

Ha, ha, ha, that’s ridiculous!
The innkeeper laughed and shook his head.
Do you know that if the Exploding Heavens Faction heard this, you would all face a tragic fate? Don’t think that the Exploding Heavens Faction is in the Earth Continent and you can lie through your teeth. Moreover, don’t take us for fools. If this kind of lie can frighten us, you have underestimated us!


Ha, believe it or not, but today, this boy, I’m saving him!
Lord Zeng sneered.
Looking at those people’s attitudes, he knew it was useless to explain further. The Exploding Heavens Faction was too mysterious; it was hard to prove that Xu Que was from the Exploding Heavens Faction. Hence, he simply stopped talking and prepared to wage an arduous war to rescue Xu Que. After all, he was able to levitate heavenwards that smoothly from the Xuanzhen Continent because of Xu Que. He owed Xu Que a great favor. The Buddhist practitioners paid particular attention to preordained fate, now it was time to return the favor.

You want to save him? Ha, ha, well, since Lord Zeng. if you want to die, there’s no reason why we can’t consent to your request!
When the innkeeper finished talking, he waved his hand.
Whoosh!
In an instant, several guards took out their magical weapons and activated their Magic Arts. A dazzling ray bolted toward Lord Zeng. The people were in the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage. It was easy to imagine the situation where six enemies were besieging Lord Zeng. In just a few rounds, Lord Zeng was in a disadvantaged position.


But the innkeeper didn’t launch his attacks. When he saw several guards pinning down Lord Zeng, his face flashed a slight sneer. He shifted his gaze to Xu Que and Lin Yuxi as he strode forward.

Despicable man, don’t you dare harm him!
Lin Yuxi’s face was pale, and she shielded Xu Que behind her. She looked nervously at the innkeeper who was approaching.

Ha, ha, little girl, you can’t even protect yourself. What are you doing protecting a fool?
The innkeeper sneered.
There was a swoosh, he turned into a shadow, and in the blink of an eye, he went behind Lin Yuxi. He used his palm as a knife and aimed directly for Xu Que’s head!

No!
Lin Yuxi was badly frightened, and she screamed in terror. But she could only be anxious; there was nothing she could do. As someone in the Original Infant Stage, in such a place, in face with someone in the Human Celestial Stage, what else could she do?
Bang!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, the palm of the innkeeper fell heavily on Xu Que’s head.
Lin Yuxi went instantly pale and her eyes were filled with despair and grief. She didn’t expect that the situation would turn out like that when she had just met Xu Que.

No, no…
She was trembling, and she didn’t even dare to turn back and look. She couldn’t accept Xu Que’s death.
But just then, behind her, came the frightened voice of the innkeeper,
This…how could this be possible?



Lin Yuxi was shocked, and she turned around abruptly. Suddenly, she was full of astonishment. The palm of the innkeeper was still on Xu Que’s head, but Xu Que was perfectly safe and undamaged. He even stared at the innkeeper with an icy expression.
Into the innkeeper’s startled face, Xu Que unexpectedly spoke expressionlessly,
Neck can be ruptured, but hairstyle must be in shape!

Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Que gave a punch, pssshh, and his entire fist went through the chest of the innkeeper in a flash; it was a bloody mess!
In an instant, there was perfect silence!
