Chapter 1146: The Heavenly Continent is About to Change

Walking out of the Artifact Sect, Xu Que clearly felt that it was peaceful outside the main gate. There was no terrifying killing intent, no pungent smell of blood, and no angry emotions!

Clearly, the matter had been resolved. While they were looting the Artifact Sect's Treasure Pavilion clean, Mo Junchen had already finished cleaning up the house.

However, when Xu Que stepped out of the main gate, he discovered an extra expert outside. He was also at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, but his foundation was unstable. Clearly, he had only just stepped into the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm a few years ago at most. Compared to Mo Junchen, who had consolidated his position at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm for thousands of years, there was a huge gap.

And now, that unfamiliar expert at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm was kneeling before Mo Junchen, his expression very calm, as if he were ready to accept death at any moment and did not want to resist.

"Eh, is this necessary? Although the gap in strength is quite large, if he wanted to escape, it shouldn't be much of a problem, right!" Xu Que couldn't help but touch his chin, pondering in confusion.

Although that middle-aged man was much weaker than Mo Junchen, he was not like Liu Qi Di and those early-stage Golden Immortal experts. With his strength, even if he couldn't win, he could still manage to escape. Why was he kneeling before Mo Junchen now, looking like he was ready to die?

"Why do this? You know I respect the Artifact Sect's tenets, you know I don't allow the Artifact Sect to fight for power, why still do this?" At this moment, Mo Junchen stared coldly at the middle-aged man and questioned him in a deep voice.

Xu Que couldn't help but frown. It was obvious that Mo Junchen knew this middle-aged man.

"The general trend, I had to do it!" The middle-aged man responded firmly, without the slightest fear.

However, he still kept his head low while speaking and dared not look directly at Mo Junchen. This lack of daring was not out of fear, but a kind of respect, a ritual and posture that a junior should have in front of a senior.

"The general trend?" Mo Junchen was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

He had been trapped in the Pluto Realm for thousands of years, which was a relatively long time. The world had changed a lot. If he was truly forced to do so, then he couldn't blame the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Yes, the general trend. The Immortal World is no longer the Immortal World it was back then. The Heavenly Continent is about to sublimate. I cannot watch the Earth Continent be abandoned like this. Whether it is the Earth Continent or the Xuanhuang Continent, they should have belonged to the Heavenly Continent. I need to make changes, otherwise, we will never stop moving forward." The middle-aged man replied humbly.

"Does Huo Ming know about what you've done?" Mo Junchen asked directly.

The middle-aged man's body trembled slightly, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, and he finally raised his head, looking straight at Mo Junchen and smiling, "After so many years, in your eyes, am I still not trustworthy enough compared to your disciple? I am your grandson! Grandfather!"

Holy shit!

Xu Que, standing not far away, immediately widened his eyes and shouted inwardly.

So after all this time, this middle-aged man was Mo Junchen's grandson!

Although Mo Junchen also looked like a middle-aged man, a middle-aged man calling another middle-aged man "grandfather" was indeed a very strange scene, but in the Immortal Cultivation World, it was quite normal.

"Yo, Guardian Mo, are you teaching your grandson a lesson?" Xu Que immediately walked up with a half-smiling expression and teased.

Mo Junchen sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "This is a grandson I do not acknowledge. Originally, no one knew the relationship between us, but... I didn't expect him to become the Vice Sect Master of the Artifact Sect now."

"Tell your story!" Xu Que's eyes were like torches, and he gestured for him to speak.

"There is nothing to say. Perhaps I was indeed too pedantic back then and shouldn't have been so heartless to my own daughter. But sect rules are always sect rules. If I violated them, how could I face my ancestors, or even my master?" Mo Junchen looked complex and shook his head.

Xu Que smiled indifferently and didn't pursue the matter. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Then do you have a story? Actually, I'm quite interested in the general trend you just mentioned!"

The middle-aged man swept a cold glance at Xu Que, his eyes full of disdain and contempt, as if Xu Que's cultivation level couldn't enter his eyes at all.

"Slap!"

Suddenly, a loud slapping sound rang out!

The middle-aged man covered his face in a daze, looking at Xu Que, who had retracted his palm, in disbelief.

He didn't expect that this so-called Exploding Heaven Gang Leader, who was like an ant in his eyes, would dare to slap his face in public.

"What are you doing? What are you looking at? Not convinced? Your grandfather is my subordinate, and also a colleague. According to the rules of my hometown, you still have to call me Grandpa Xu!" Xu Que glared and shouted at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He didn't know that his grandfather had already joined the Exploding Heaven Gang, otherwise, he couldn't have had that attitude toward Xu Que.

However, Mo Junchen's silence had already explained the answer.

The middle-aged man's mouth twitched, feeling speechless. His grandfather, whom he remembered as upright, incorruptible, and incomparably majestic, had actually joined the Exploding Heaven Gang and had to call a young man at the Qi Refining stage "Gang Leader." This was simply too hard to accept.

"Zhang Sui, since the Gang Leader has asked, you should speak. What exactly is going on?" At this moment, Mo Junchen's expression had softened, and he seemed to have started to accept this grandson.

The middle-aged man, Zhang Sui, also breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Thank you for no longer questioning whether Huo Ming knows what I have done. Now, I can finally feel a little bit of your trust in me!"

Saying this, a smile bloomed on Zhang Sui's face.

Xu Que narrowed his eyes. He found that the middle-aged man's smile was quite genuine, a smile from the heart, like a child being praised by an elder.

"Tsk tsk tsk, alright, stop talking nonsense, get to the point!" Xu Que urged impatiently.

He quite understood Zhang Sui's mood. From the short conversation between Zhang Sui and Mo Junchen just now, Xu Que had already judged that Zhang Sui should be the child born to Mo Junchen's daughter and someone else, and that relationship between Mo Junchen's daughter and that person was definitely not accepted by the Artifact Sect, let alone Zhang Sui's existence.

Therefore, Zhang Sui was clearly not favored by Mo Junchen, and Mo Junchen didn't even acknowledge this grandson. One could imagine how much of a blow this was to a child. After all, as the saying goes, children are innocent.

But now Xu Que had no intention of understanding other people's pasts. Understanding was understanding, but the main business was the most important!

At this time, Zhang Sui's attitude toward Xu Que had also changed. There was no more contempt or disdain, and he didn't care about the slap Xu Que had just given him in public.

He felt that his grandfather's change in attitude toward him seemed to depend partly on Xu Que's appearance just now.

And in fact, everyone present also felt that this slap was nothing. After all, even Mo Junchen had joined the Exploding Heaven Gang and had to call Xu Que Gang Leader. Now that Xu Que slapped this Artifact Sect Vice Sect Master, he was quite qualified!

"Actually, Huo Ming knows that I ordered the Artifact Sect to infiltrate the major forces in the six Immortal Realms. This is a method we came up with after discussing it!" Zhang Sui said.

Huo Ming was the current Sect Master of the Artifact Sect and also Mo Junchen's direct disciple. He was deeply trusted by Mo Junchen and would definitely continue Mo Junchen's attitude toward the Artifact Sect's tenets. But he actually discussed with Zhang Sui to break the Artifact Sect's tenets and expand the Artifact Sect's power, trying to control all the forces in the six Immortal Realms. This clearly meant that something had happened that forced them to do so.

"Why do this?" At this moment, Mo Junchen asked.

This was the second time he had asked this question, but his tone was no longer as severe as before, nor was it a questioning, but a calm inquiry.

Zhang Sui raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, and said with a solemn expression, "The Heavenly Continent is about to change! If we cannot let the Earth Continent board the big ship of the Heavenly Continent, we will be abandoned forever and will never be able to move forward in this life!"
