Chapter 1139: These People Really Need to Be Managed

Bang!

Amid a dull thud, Mo Junchen clutched his knee in agony, half-crouched on the ground, hissing sharply through clenched teeth.

Damn, that hurts like hell!

Er Gouzi's kick had originally been aimed at Mo Junchen's face, but this fool suddenly remembered that Mo Junchen was a Great Ability of the Golden Immortal Realm, so he chickened out mid-air and tried to retract his leg; however, it was too late, and even with a forced retraction, the kick still landed squarely on Mo Junchen's knee.

This left Mo Junchen not only in excruciating pain but also beginning to doubt his very existence!

What on earth is happening today?

I announce the title of Artifact Sect Master and immediately get beaten up; who exactly have I offended?

The key point is that getting injured by Xu Que earlier was understandable, since that kid possesses the Overlord Body, but now even a dog is this tough, directly swelling the knee of me, a dignified Great Completion Underworld Prison Suppression Body practitioner—where is the justice in this world?

A Great Completion Underworld Prison Suppression Body, how could it be so fragile?

"Uh!" At this moment, Er Gouzi had already landed, looking utterly bewildered, clearly not expecting this move to actually connect.

But he quickly regained his arrogant and domineering expression, lifted his head high, and bellowed, "So you are the Artifact Sect Master! Your Artifact Sect is simply outrageous, daring to show disrespect to our Explosive Sky Gang! Today, I, the Divine Venerable, jumped up and kicked your knee; I ask you, do you submit or not?"

"..." Mo Junchen was rendered speechless.

In fact, if Er Gouzi had truly aimed for his face, he could have dodged it, after all, Er Gouzi's speed couldn't compare to Xu Que's.

But this fool suddenly retracted his attack, making Mo Junchen think he was just playing a joke and didn't intend to strike seriously, so he didn't react in time; who would have expected this idiot to fail retracting his move in time and instead coincidentally kick him right in the knee, truly a stroke of terrible luck.

"Hmph, remember this: I, the Divine Venerable, am the Vice Gang Leader of the Explosive Sky Gang! If you're not convinced, feel free to settle the score with our Gang Leader, Xu Que!" Er Gouzi boastfully threw out another harsh threat before hiding behind Xu Que.

Xu Que rolled his eyes, grabbed Er Gouzi by the dog-head and yanked him out, glaring as he scolded, "You fool, haven't been beaten in three days so you're climbing onto the roof to tear off tiles, is that it? That man is the Artifact Sect Master from thousands of years ago and has little relation to the current Artifact Sect; besides, he is on our side! You strike him without even understanding the situation—is there any justice? Is there any law?"

"Ouch, damn it, damn it, let go of me, the Divine Venerable, first! What about my face?" Er Gouzi struggled, knowing that at such a moment, saving face was definitely more important than reasoning.

However, listening to Xu Que scolding Er Gouzi, Mo Junchen felt not the slightest bit happy.

Striking people without clarifying the situation—didn't this kid do exactly the same thing earlier?

"Brother Mo... tsk, no, Elder Brother Mo, I'm terribly sorry; my pet is just too arrogant!" At this moment, Xu Que turned his head to look at Mo Junchen, saying with a roguish grin.

"No harm, no harm, it's nothing!" Mo Junchen waved his hand with a smile, grinning on the surface while cursing 'Mai Pi' in his heart, feeling that he might have misjudged Xu Que earlier; this kid didn't seem like an upright person either!

However, his words were not false; although his knee was swollen from Er Gouzi's kick, for a Great Ability of his caliber, this was a trivial matter that could be healed instantly by mobilizing Immortal Yuan within the blink of an eye, leaving no impact whatsoever.

"Alright, alright, stop messing around; we really need to leave now!" At this moment, Duan Jiude walked over and urged them, putting an end to this farce.

However, Qin Sanli and the others were already filled with horror regarding Mo Junchen's identity; Xu Que had just introduced him as the Artifact Sect Master, and furthermore, the Sect Master from thousands of years ago, which frightened Qin Sanli immensely.

Only now did he suddenly recall that in his youth, he had indeed heard of the great name of Mo Junchen from the Artifact Sect; he was a generation's powerhouse, enjoying immense prestige across the Six Great Immortal Domains of the Earth Continent, and had been highly likely to become the ruler of one of those Six Great Immortal Domains, but later he mysteriously vanished without any further news.

Who would have expected that this powerful existence had been hiding within the Realm of the Underworld King for several thousand years, and now that he has emerged, he has become even more formidable.

Moreover, according to rumors from back then, this Great Ability was an upright character; combining that with the way Mo Junchen and Xu Que addressed each other now, Qin Sanli realized that the hatred between the Artifact Sect and the Explosive Sky Gang should finally be resolved!

Meanwhile, at the entrance and exit of the Realm of the Underworld King.

Dozens of Artifact Sect powerhouses were guarding the spot tightly, while three Artifact Emperors sat cross-legged in the cloud space with cold expressions, closing their eyes to rest.

Boom!

At this moment, a series of dull sounds emanated from the Secret Realm's entrance and exit; the Void twisted slightly as the opening began to slowly writhe and shrink, about to seal shut.

The three Artifact Emperors simultaneously opened their eyes, a cold, sharp smile curling at the corners of their mouths.

"The exit is finally about to close; I refuse to believe they won't come out!"

"Haha, even if they don't come out, they won't survive a century of torment by the Void Wind Blades; of course, even if they miraculously survive, they won't be able to escape after a hundred years!"

"Currently, our Sect Master is in Closed-door Cultivation, so all affairs and supreme authority rest in the hands of the Vice Sect Master, who happens to be Liu Qi Di's elder cousin; if we help Liu Qi Di resolve this matter, we will undoubtedly benefit greatly within the Artifact Sect in the future!"

Saying this, the three descended from the air to the ground, positioning themselves directly in front of the Secret Realm's entrance and exit.

In their view, Xu Que and the others certainly wouldn't dare hide inside the Secret Realm for a hundred years; the power of those Void Wind Blades was something even those in the Golden Immortal Realm wouldn't dare face, let alone a mere handful of Human Immortal Realm fellows!

So now, they simply waited for Xu Que and his group to emerge from the Secret Realm, then they would strike Xu Que dead with a single palm and bring him before Liu Qi Di.

"Check whether the Void surrounding this area has been completely sealed; that kid possesses some special Talismans capable of piercing through the Void, so this time we absolutely cannot let him escape!" One Artifact Emperor turned to address his subordinates.

"Reporting to Emperor Yuan, the Void has been sealed; this time, they will surely find no escape even with wings!" A Cultivator of the Artifact Sect at the Earth Immortal Realm sneered.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, movement came from the Secret Realm's entrance and exit.

Everyone's gaze immediately swept over as several figures stepped out from within the opening; it was precisely Xu Que and his companions.

"Attack!" One Artifact Emperor decided instantly, shouting in a deep voice.

Subsequently, all the Artifact Sect powerhouses present simultaneously formed hand seals and recited Dharma Spells, preparing to launch a coordinated assault, giving Xu Que and his group no chance to counterattack!

"Stop!"

At this moment, a robust voice rang out, brimming with majesty and momentum, while a terrifying pressure spread across the entire arena.

"Gol... Golden Immortal Realm Peak?"

Everyone's complexion instantly changed, exclaiming in shock; such a powerful aura, looking across the entire Earth Continent, was countable on one's fingers apart from the rulers of those Six Great Immortal Domains!

The three Artifact Emperors were likewise filled with astonishment and disbelief; although they were Artifact Emperors, they were merely the weakest among them, with cultivation only at the Golden Immortal Realm Early Stage, and the hope of advancing even one step further was nearly slim.

Yet now, a Great Ability of the Golden Immortal Realm Peak had appeared, causing all three of them to tremble with fear!

Although both Golden Immortal Realm Early Stage and Golden Immortal Realm Peak belong to the Golden Immortal Realm, they are entirely different levels of existence; the gap in strength and status was as vast as a ditch, enormous indeed!

"Hmph, this is outrageous! Since when did my Artifact Sect produce such shameful individuals? Could it be that during the several thousand years I, Mo, have been away, the entire Artifact Sect has changed beyond recognition?" At this moment, Mo Junchen stepped forward, his momentum surging and imposing, his gaze sweeping across everyone present.

Everyone looked utterly confused, staring blankly at Mo Junchen, clearly not recognizing their own Sect Master from thousands of years ago.

On the contrary, those three Artifact Emperors, possessing extremely deep seniority, looked at Mo Junchen and listened to his words; then, as if recalling something, their bodies suddenly shook violently, unable to stop trembling.

"Exactly! This is outrageous!"

At this moment, Er Gouzi walked out with an arrogant expression, acting very much like a dog as he said, "Brother Mo... I mean, Elder Brother, you really should manage these people, especially these three; they call themselves Artifact Emperors, but I, the Divine Venerable, can tell just by looking at their faces that their hearts are unrighteous. To be honest, if those three haven't committed heaven-defying and evil deeds, I, the Divine Venerable, will stand on my head and take a shit right here on the spot!"
