Chapter 1171

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fist after fist fell, and Yi Zhong was somewhat beaten into a daze!

A dignified prodigy of the Shennong Clan was actually pressed to the ground and beaten by a sickly old man at the Half-Immortal Stage who was seriously injured. What was this?

Many Yaochi disciples and the deacons present were all stunned.

The commotion in the council hall attracted Yaochi disciples from outside, who filled the entrance of the council hall, watching this scene in a daze. Some even couldn't help but secretly take out recording crystals to record this astonishing scene.

After all, this matter was truly too frightening. The one being beaten was a prodigy of the Shennong Clan, a future divine son, whose status was so noble. If this spread, it would probably shock a large number of people!

"Bastard, that's enough!"

Finally, Yi Zhong couldn't hold back anymore, roared angrily, and slapped Xu Que fiercely.

Bang!

Amidst a huge muffled sound, Xu Que was sent flying directly, spitting blood wildly, forming a parabola in the air, and finally fell heavily to the ground, pale and on the verge of death.

"Elder Xu!"

At this moment, Bai Cailing and the others finally reacted, stood up abruptly, and ran forward in exclamation.

They knew that this old man was seriously injured; how could he withstand a palm from a Heavenly Immortal prodigy like Yi Zhong? If he died just like that, how would they answer to Xu Que in the future? Even the hope of the Peach Garden coming back to life would be completely extinguished!

However, Yi Zhong was also stunned at this moment.

Although he had struck in anger just now, he had still held back, only wanting to shake Xu Que back, with no intention of killing anyone. After all, this was Yaochi, and the Peach Garden needed Xu Que to manage it, so how could he strike to kill?

But this old guy was too ruthless; how could he fly so far from a light palm? And he was spitting blood all over the floor; he was clearly faking a fall!

"Hey, old thing, stop playing god and acting like a ghost here. I didn't use any force just now. You'd better get up quickly!" Yi Zhong stood up with a gloomy face and stared coldly at Xu Que.

But at this moment, Xu Que was already surrounded by Bai Cailing and many Yaochi disciples, who were holding him in their arms, feeding him pills and asking concerned questions anxiously!

Under such circumstances, as long as he was a man, how could he be willing to get up?

"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, I'm dying!" Xu Que let out a very insincere groan, looking like he was on the verge of death.

Yi Zhong stood outside, becoming more annoyed the more he looked. He immediately shouted: "Old thing, quit while you're ahead, otherwise don't blame me for tearing off the mask!"

"Fellow Daoist Yi, please be quiet. This is my Yaochi Holy Land!" Bai Cailing immediately turned her head, swept a cold glance at Yi Zhong, and said in a deep voice.

"You..." Yi Zhong was instantly so angry that he couldn't speak, only glaring viciously at Xu Que.

Xu Que also didn't want to continue acting at this moment. He leaned on Bai Cailing's fragrant shoulder and supported himself "with difficulty," saying weakly: "Daughter-in-law, don't get angry, it wouldn't be good if you hurt the baby... Oh dear, oh dear, that's not right. Look, I've been beaten silly. Holy Maiden Bai, I'm fine, I just need to rest!"

"Elder Xu, I will help you back to rest!" Bai Cailing nodded and helped Xu Que up.

"Alright, but don't mind what happened just now. As soon as I saw that rebellious son, I couldn't help but get angry and hit him. I didn't expect to beat him away, which made Fellow Daoist Yi so angry. Please don't blame him, I'll be fine after resting for a few days!" Xu Que added another sentence before leaving.

It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as he did, the resentful and indifferent gazes of the Yaochi people swept toward Yi Zhong.

Yi Zhong was so angry he was stunned, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood, feeling very annoyed in his heart. Why hadn't he used more force in that palm just now and simply slapped this old man to death!

"Cough cough, however..." At this moment, Xu Que continued, weakly: "But don't worry, I will still try my best to save the Peach Garden. As for the marriage contract, Holy Maiden Bai, we'll talk about it later!"

Everyone present was overjoyed instantly.

Bai Cailing was also delighted and nodded: "Thank you, Elder Xu!"

Several deacons also became enthusiastic and ordered: "Someone, accompany the Holy Maiden to send Elder Xu back to his room and take good care of him!"

"Sigh, you are all so kind. If that rebellious son Xu Que could treat me half as well as you do, I could die without regrets!" Xu Que sighed with emotion.

Afterwards, supported by the group, Xu Que's trembling figure finally left the council hall.

The large council hall also returned to coldness.

Several deacons glanced at Yi Zhong and said indifferently: "Fellow Daoist Yi, you should also rest well. If you need anything, just order the Yaochi disciples to handle it!"

After speaking, several deacons also left the council hall directly.

Even if Yi Zhong was a prodigy of the Shennong Clan and a future divine son, it didn't mean Yaochi had to flatter him. Moreover, now that there was hope for the Peach Garden to recover, Yaochi's strength would have a great chance to return to its peak. By then, Yaochi would no longer be weaker than the Shennong Clan!

Yi Zhong stood in place, his face livid.

A few breaths later, he turned around, looked at his guardians, and said in a deep voice: "Today's matter must absolutely not be spread back to the clan! Also, watch that old man closely these few days. He is definitely not simple. If there is a chance, kill him cleanly without leaving any traces."

"Yes!" Several guardians at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm nodded and replied in a low voice.

That day, a female outer disciple of Yaochi snuck out to meet her lover.

"Lanlan, the night is so beautiful tonight, why don't we sit down and chat!" her lover said earnestly to the Yaochi female disciple.

The female disciple smiled shyly, leaned into her lover's arms, and said: "You are so kind. By the way, do you know? A big thing happened in our Yaochi today!"

"Oh? What big thing? Is it that a prodigy from the Shennong Clan in the Taiyin Immortal Domain came? Haha, many people in Tianxiang City know about this!"

"No, it's that the prodigy was beaten in Yaochi today!"

"What? Who dares to beat that prodigy? Your Holy Maiden?"

"No, no, no, it's Xu Que's father!"

"Xu Que's father? Who is Xu Que, and who is his father?"

"Look, I have a recording crystal here that other disciples passed to me to watch!"

The next day, the sky was bright and the sun was shining!

Tianxiang City was shaken!

The recording crystals and remarks spread from Yaochi swept through the entire Tianxiang City. In less than half a day, the whole city was heatedly discussing the matter of the Shennong Clan prodigy, Yi Zhong, being pressed to the ground and beaten.

"My god, this is too fierce. A sickly old man at the Half-Immortal Stage actually pressed Yi Zhong to the ground and beat him wildly!"

"This matter is too strange. As far as I know, that prodigy has the cultivation of the early Heavenly Immortal Stage and has great hope of winning the divine son position of the Shennong Clan!"

"It seems that the old man has a great background. Who exactly is he?"

"It's Xu Que's father!"

"What the hell? Who is Xu Que?"

"I don't know! Anyway, I just know that this old man is Xu Que's father!"

"Amazing, Xu Que's father is truly awesome!"

"Exactly! Even a prodigy was pressed to the ground and beaten by him..."

With everyone talking, the name "Xu Que's father" had made a name for itself!

And what happened in Tianxiang City naturally spread into the Yaochi Holy Land.

Yi Zhong wanted to rush to Xu Que's room immediately and beat Xu Que to the ground as well, but that was just a thought. After all, with his Heavenly Immortal cultivation, if he really did such a thing, it would be even more laughable if it spread.

A Half-Immortal beating a Heavenly Immortal would make people feel amazed, but a Heavenly Immortal beating a Half-Immortal in revenge would become a joke!

"Damn it, I will never let this old guy go!" Yi Zhong crushed the teacup in his hand, sitting in the room, filled with murderous intent.

At the same time, Xu Que had already walked into the Peach Garden, trembling, supported by a Yaochi female disciple.

After resting for a night, he had "recovered" somewhat and immediately said enthusiastically that he wanted to help Yaochi manage the Peach Garden, which moved everyone in Yaochi. For a time, the old man's figure became even taller and more majestic in everyone's impression.

As for the Yaochi disciples spreading the recording crystals and the news of Yi Zhong being beaten, Yaochi had no intention of investigating at all.

After all, they knew very well that if they investigated to the end, they would only find their own people. Moreover, the deacons in charge had also made mistakes. If they hadn't failed to order that the news be kept secret, it wouldn't have become known to the whole city.

However, the matter of the Peach Garden was not as smooth as everyone thought.

After Xu Que moved into the Peach Garden that day, he didn't use the Life Spirit Holy Water. With so many people from Yaochi watching, how could he take out the Life Spirit Holy Water? That would have lowered his level of pretentiousness!

Thus, in front of everyone, Xu Que lay down directly next to a peach tree, set up a hammock on the clear, emerald-green pool water, and lay on it, eating melon seeds while sunbathing—how comfortable!

Everyone was a bit bewildered, and even the Holy Maiden, after standing at the entrance of the Peach Garden and watching blankly for a long time, finally couldn't hold back.

"Elder Xu, what are you..." Bai Cailing asked in confusion. They had agreed to save the peach trees, but he was lying there. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like he was healing the trees!

Xu Que spat out a melon seed shell, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "You all go out first. Don't worry about the Peach Garden. I'll take a nap with them, and they'll be fine. This is my family's ancestral ultimate sleep therapy, which has miraculous effects on people, plants, and animals! Ten days for one course of treatment, ten courses for one cycle, and in just ten cycles, all things can be revived!"
