Chapter 1235: Guardian Mo, Attack!

Boom!

This strike contained no superfluous words, nor the slightest hint of hesitation!

Mo Junchen acted decisively, overwhelmingly powerful; his surging Divine Soul crushed in all directions, sweeping out with a momentum that awed the eight wildernesses!

Pushing his Golden Immortal Realm Peak strength to the extreme, he combined his formidable Flesh Body with his Dharma Spell, erupting with terrifying power; his entire body transformed into a Light Stream as a giant fist smashed forward.

Although Bao Jian and Zhang Liyun were at Earth Immortal Realm Peak, facing a Golden Immortal Realm Peak expert with a Great Completion Underworld Prison Suppression Body, they stood no chance of fighting back, especially since both were already severely injured; this strike was impossible to dodge!

Bang!

Accompanied by a tremendous crash, the two were instantly smashed by Mo Junchen into two clumps of Blood Mist, their souls directly crushed within the Wind!

Mo Junchen knew clearly that Xu Que's Killing Intent was already set; besides the fact that these three deserved death anyway, they had also brought it upon themselves by daring to display Killing Intent before Xu Que!

Therefore, they had to act, quickly eliminating these three; otherwise, sparing them would only allow them to harbor sinister plots against Xu Que again, which would inevitably stir the Two Souls within the Wind Fire Wheels once more, and if Xu Que failed to suppress them then, it would be over, definitely a massive loss!

After all, two hundred stalks of Thousand-Gold Rebirth Vine could only sustain their actions for a single strike, no more!

Thus, Mo Junchen cast aside all hesitations, executed decisively, and instantly destroyed both Bao Jian and Zhang Liyun.

The vast Heavenly Palace Academy, specifically the entire area near the Back Mountain, had now fallen utterly silent; one could hear a pin drop!

Everyone stared blankly at the three pools of fresh blood on the ground, unable to recover their senses for a long time.

Some instructors and administrators of the Heavenly Palace Academy who had witnessed the entire process wore faces filled with shock.

With stiff bodies, the crowd slowly raised their heads to look at the sickly old man in the air, a single voice echoing unanimously in their hearts: "This madman, this crazy old fool!"

"Has no one yet prepared for the challenge I issued just now? Relay my exact words to them: If the Bao Family, Zhang Family, and Lin Family have the guts to seek revenge, let them come find me directly; although I serve as the Vice Dean of the Heavenly Palace Academy, dealing with these three families alone is sufficient for me, and I will absolutely not employ the Academy's forces; as for whoever dares to help them, I will kill them dead!" Xu Que roared, his voice booming like a great bell, resonant and powerful, echoing far and wide.

Subsequently, under the stunned gazes of the entire crowd, Xu Que led Er Gouzi, Duan Jiude, and the others as they sliced through the cloudy sky, heading straight for the upper layer of the Heavenly Palace Academy—precisely the location where the Elite Disciples underwent Closed-door Cultivation, and also where Jiang Hongyan was situated!

However, the moment the group had just departed, the crowd on the scene erupted like a boiling pot, buzzing with discussion!

"Oh my heavens!"

"I thought this old man was newly appointed, powerless and weak, easy to bully, but never expected him to be so ruthless!"

"It turns out that after all this commotion, this elder is actually the most terrifying figure in the entire Academy!"

"We're finished; our days ahead will likely be miserable; the Heavenly Palace Academy might become a living hell!"

"You say your days will be hard, but what about me? Before Er Gouzi left just now, I saw him winking at me; back when we were hunting him down, I once touched his butt; he must be holding a grudge!"

"You idiot; as the saying goes, one must never touch a dog's butt, yet you dared to violate this taboo!"

"How the hell was I supposed to know back then that he had such a fierce backer!"

"Alas, it seems storm clouds are gathering; the Heavenly Palace Academy will never know peace again!"

Many Disciples and Academy instructors discussed endlessly.

Some were terrified, some worried, and some filled with myriad emotions!

The arrival of this new Vice Dean made too many people feel extremely uncomfortable, as if struck by an intense sense of unease!

Meanwhile, Xu Que and his group had already arrived at the Second Layer of the Heavenly Palace Academy.

Naturally, the main body of the entire Heavenly Palace Academy constituted the First Layer, where ordinary Disciples usually resided or cultivated within the main structures of Layer One; as for this Second Layer, it consisted of numerous large and small mountain peaks floating above the First Layer.

At first glance, these countless small mountains of the Second Layer resembled pieces of small Meteorites encircling the massive main body of the Heavenly Palace Academy's First Layer!

Every Elite Disciple possessed their own small mountain as a Cave Mansion, yet this mountainous region was so vast that finding Jiang Hongyan within it was no easy task.

Fortunately, both Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude had spent some time here before and were familiar with the routes; as soon as they entered, they locked onto a direction and darted forward, with Xu Que and the others following closely behind.

However, before they had flown far, several figures suddenly flashed into view ahead, blocking the entire group.

Those figures were all elderly men clad in gray robes, every single one of them existing at the Imperial Physician Loose Immortal level; even without deliberately displaying their intimidating power, the pressure they unconsciously emitted completely overshadowed Mo Junchen!

Between the Golden Immortal Realm and the Imperial Physician Loose Immortal, even though the difference was merely a small step, the gap ultimately remained as vast as a chasm, difficult to cross!

"This is a crucial cultivation area; idlers are forbidden from intruding without authorization!" one of the old men stated indifferently, looking at Xu Que and his group with an expressionless face.

Er Gouzi immediately extended his paw, pointing at Xu Que, and shouted at the several men: "The newly appointed Vice Dean of the Heavenly Palace Academy is here to inspect the Disciples' cultivation progress; hurry up and make way!"

The several old men glanced slightly at Xu Que, then cupped their fists: "Greetings, Vice Dean!"

Obviously, they had seen everything that occurred below clearly, so they felt no surprise whatsoever regarding Xu Que's identity.

Moreover, they had not intervened to stop everything that had just happened; after all, given Xu Que's status as Vice Dean, they lacked the qualification to inquire or interfere, and they didn't even wish to stop it.

But here, they did stop Xu Que, because they possessed that authority; anyone wishing to enter this place required their notification first, otherwise, if outsiders entered arbitrarily, they might disturb some Disciples' cultivation, and in severe cases, even cause Qi Deviation!

"They are the stewards of this area; above them stands a big shot whose cultivation is at least at the Great Luo True Immortal level, and all of them belong to Vice Dean Li Qingshan's faction; furthermore, Li Qingshan maintains very close ties with the Holy Sect, making them somewhat untouchable!" At this moment, Duan Jiude leaned close to Xu Que's side and whispered a reminder.

Xu Que immediately raised his Eyebrows; untouchable? Non-existent; was there anyone in the entire Tianzhou right now that this awesome Saint could not touch?

"Make way; this old man is going to see his daughter-in-law!" Xu Que stared directly at the several old men and stated in a deep voice.

The several old men remained motionless, stating indifferently: "Vice Dean Xu, rules are rules; if you wish to enter, we must first go in and notify Jiang Hongyan; however, we believe Jiang Hongyan is currently at a critical moment and should not be disturbed; please return another time!"

"Hmm?"

Xu Que's eyes instantly turned cold.

Did this situation amount to placing Jiang Hongyan under house arrest?

"Heh!" He immediately let out a Cold Smile: "Are you certain you want to discuss rules with me? Yet rules are made by people; those with strength possess the qualification to establish rules; so... today I shall come to redefine these rules!"

Saying this, Xu Que waved his great hand and roared in a deep voice: "Guardian Mo, attack, kill them dead!"

Mo Junchen: "???"

Me fighting five alone? And five Imperial Physician Loose Immortals at that?
