Chapter 1219: It Couldn't Be That Coincidental, Right?

Xu Que was astonished; he felt that things were getting a bit scary!

That voice singing the opera was actually calling out "Xuanyuan" now!

When the whole situation was linked together, there were all sorts of associations, and one couldn't help but have some misunderstandings!

For example, Xuan Yuan Wanrong was once the Tower Master of the Heavenly Palace Academy's Southern Tower. Although the story Liu Jingning recounted didn't mention which tower that Tower Master came from, since they were both Tower Masters, there was a very high possibility of a major connection between the two!

"Jingning, in the story you read, was the name of that Tower Master recorded?" Xu Que asked, looking at Liu Jingning.

Liu Jingning was startled and nodded: "I remember that at the end of the record, the names of the two were mentioned. That Tower Master was named Xuanyuan Qishang, and that Saintess of my Bliss Sect was named Guan Chuchu!"

"Eh? Xuanyuan Qishang..."

Xu Que was immediately stunned, his brows slightly furrowed.

Since they both had the surname Xuanyuan, then... this matter could almost be guessed seven or eight-tenths correctly.

It was very obvious that Xuan Yuan Wanrong and Xuanyuan Qishang definitely had a relationship. Back then, Xuanyuan Qishang and Guan Chuchu had a child, and that child was very likely to be Xuan Yuan Wanrong.

Of course, this was only a guess; perhaps Xuan Yuan Wanrong could also be Xuanyuan Qishang's older or younger sister. Anyway, under this surname, there should be a blood relationship!

"Holy crap! This God Venerable had a flash of inspiration and suddenly feels that the truth behind the Heavenly Palace Academy being wiped out has been figured out!"

At this moment, Er Gouzi slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

Duan Jiude's eyes also brightened, and he looked at Er Gouzi in surprise: "Teacher Er Gou, me too!"

"Teacher Duan, wisdom indeed!" Er Gouzi also looked at Duan Jiude.

The man and the dog clasped their hands/paws together and said in unison: "We have figured out the truth!"

"This is definitely a retaliatory massacre!" Er Gouzi said, full of confidence.

"That's right!" Duan Jiude also nodded: "It's very obvious that Xuan Yuan Wanrong must be the child of Xuanyuan Qishang and Guan Chuchu. After her parents were harmed, the Heavenly Palace Academy took her in. Later, she grew up and learned the truth of her background due to some opportunity!"

"So she practiced cultivation diligently, endured humiliation, and finally laid a net of heaven and earth to wipe out the entire Heavenly Palace Academy to avenge her parents!" Er Gouzi added!

The man and the dog cooperated perfectly and stated their speculation directly.

Xu Que, however, was very calm. Although this speculation was very logical—after all, the motive was there—it lacked reasonable evidence!

Although some things could indeed be boldly speculated and imagined, there were too many secrets hidden behind this matter, and there were many strange places that could no longer be viewed with normal thinking.

"Your reasoning doesn't hold up. At the very least, the Heavenly Palace Academy being wiped out shouldn't have been Xuan Yuan Wanrong's doing!" Xu Que shook his head and said.

"Why?" Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude were both taken aback.

"If it were as you said, that Xuan Yuan Wanrong knew the truth and wiped out the Heavenly Palace Academy, then she would definitely be full of hatred for the Heavenly Palace Academy. But do you still remember what she said back then under the Buried Immortal Valley? She claimed to be the Tower Master of the Heavenly Palace Academy's Southern Tower, yet she didn't have the slightest bit of hatred for the Heavenly Palace Tower. Even when she gave me an Outer Sect Disciple token for the Southern Tower, she still had an air of me climbing high to reach them. This doesn't fit common sense at all!" Xu Que responded.

From this matter, plus his intuition, Xu Que believed that Xuan Yuan Wanrong was probably still unaware of anything.

"This..." Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude were speechless at this moment, unable to refute Xu Que's words.

"Gang Leader Xu, I think you have fallen into a misunderstanding!"

At this time, Mo Junchen spoke up: "You only rely on a shared surname to preemptively link Xuan Yuan Wanrong with Xuanyuan Qishang, but I think there is also a possibility that there is no relationship between Xuanyuan Qishang and Xuan Yuan Wanrong; it is purely that their surnames are the same!"

"Tch, Protector Mo, your speculation is even more ridiculous. Could there be such a coincidental thing? In the same power, the surname is also the same; ghosts would believe that they have no relationship!" Er Gouzi said with a face full of disdain.

Mo Junchen gave a bitter smile: "I am only supplementing all possibilities, after all, we cannot rule out these possibilities. However, I think now is not the time to discuss these things, in here..."

He pointed his finger at the cave entrance and continued: "In here is our biggest problem right now. Who is the person singing the opera? Are we still going in?"

Saying this, Mo Junchen looked at Xu Que.

Xu Que nodded: "You are right, the problem in here is the key, but I think figuring out and understanding a little more will be beneficial for us after we go in. If the one inside is really Guan Chuchu's soul, then this matter might become interesting, right?"

When he said this, Xu Que could almost not help but laugh out loud.

If it really was Guan Chuchu's soul inside, then perhaps Xuanyuan Qishang's soul was still there too. Once he released both of them, the Heavenly Palace Academy would have to cry!

However, the next moment, Xu Que felt that something was wrong.

After he finished speaking, no one actually responded to him.

Mo Junchen and Er Gouzi, along with Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude, were all staring at him blankly, their expressions full of horror and astonishment, and even a bit of fear.

Looking closer, one would discover that they were not looking at him, but behind him.

"No way? Don't be? Don't do it? You wouldn't be trying to tell me that that woman is right behind me now, would you?" Xu Que laughed awkwardly, his heart already starting to curse!

His current standing position was exactly with his back to the cave entrance. This kind of scene that would only appear in a horror movie was now very likely appearing on him.

Xu Que considered his own luck to be quite good; this kind of situation shouldn't happen.

But seeing Er Gouzi, Mo Junchen, and the others nodding at him repeatedly, Xu Que's heart instantly turned half cold.

He quietly clenched his fists, pinching a Divine Movement Escape Talisman in his palm, while his other hand tightly gripped the Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staff, ready to strike and flee at any moment.

If the woman behind him really was Guan Chuchu, then her strength would definitely be terrifying, even if the story said her cultivation was abolished and she died outside the Heavenly Palace Academy's ancestral tomb.

But that was just a story after all; who the hell knew if it was true or false!

"Que... Brother Que, she is looking at you!" At this time, Er Gouzi said with a trembling voice, already holding hands with Duan Jiude, looking like they were ready to run at any moment.

Liu Jingning was also so nervous that her face turned pale, ready to support Xu Que at any time.

Mo Junchen's face was full of gravity, and cold sweat even began to bead on his forehead: "Gang Leader, we... we have been controlled and are unable to move!"

"What?" Xu Que was immediately shocked.

The opponent was this powerful? He didn't even see her make a move, yet even an expert like Mo Junchen, at the peak of the Golden Immortal Stage, was controlled so tightly?

Wait a minute, that's not right; why didn't he feel controlled, and was even able to move freely?

Xu Que was stunned and even raised his hand, discovering that his freedom was truly not restricted.

"Xuanyuan..."

At this moment, a shrill cry sounded behind him, sounding as if it were calling right in his ear, extremely eerie, making one's scalp tingle and back turn cold!

"Holy crap..." Xu Que shouted, subconsciously preparing to turn around and strike with his staff, then pinch the Divine Movement Escape Talisman to take everyone and run.

Suddenly, that cry sounded again.

"My child... Xuanyuan... my child..."

The next moment, a black shadow flashed before Xu Que's eyes, his whole body was unable to move, and he was bound by a powerful force, floating up from the ground, slowly turning around in mid-air, and involuntarily flying into a woman's embrace!
