Chapter 1323

"Heh!"

Xuan Yuan Wanrong sneered, staring straight at Xu Que, the cold air pressing in.

"You made a second request, not letting me hurt you, just to say this to humiliate me?" She shook her head and asked with a sneer.

Xu Que chuckled and waved his hand: "I'm not that kind of person!"

"Then what kind of person are you?" The sneer on Xuan Yuan Wanrong's face vanished, and her expression became gloomy.

"A little guy whose bone age isn't even two hundred years old, actually daring to pretend to be an elder in front of me? This kind of bad taste is very boring and very childish!" As she said this, she glared at Xu Que with disgust and stood up.

Xu Que touched his nose sheepishly and smiled: "Don't be in such a hurry to scold me, I really have good intentions. How about this, let me ask you a question: if it wasn't your grandfather who appeared, but your parents..."

"Presumptuous!" Xuan Yuan Wanrong suddenly shouted sharply, a majestic murderous aura sweeping out and crashing toward Xu Que.

Bang!

Amidst a loud noise, Xu Que was blasted away, smashing through the inn door and falling heavily onto the street.

The entire street paved with bluestone slabs cracked on the spot. Xu Que had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, looking at Xuan Yuan Wanrong in astonishment.

"I advise you not to think that you can be presumptuous in front of me just because you rely on the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book!"

Xuan Yuan Wanrong walked out of the inn slowly, staring coldly at Xu Que, and said in a deep voice.

Following that, she threw out a bottle of pills and walked away.

"Wait a minute!"

Xu Que shouted with a frown.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong paused her steps and turned around coldly.

Xu Que had already stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and at the same time, with a thought, he took the Wind Fire Wheels out of the system.

As soon as the Wind Fire Wheels appeared, the two souls inside instantly became restless, lost control, and rushed out frantically, landing in front of Xuan Yuan Wanrong.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong's expression changed, and she took a step back while raising her arm, preparing to make a move.

But the next moment, she stood frozen in place.

"This bloodline aura..." She murmured in a low voice, her lips trembling slightly, looking at the two souls in front of her in disbelief.

"If I'm not mistaken, these two seniors should be your parents. At that time, I might have been carrying your avatar, and they mistook me for you, so they treated me as their child and insisted on following me, so I could only take them into an immortal artifact to protect them."

At this time, Xu Que explained calmly, his gaze looking at Xuan Yuan Wanrong.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong remained silent, seemingly unable to recover from the shock.

Xu Que continued: "I'll lend you these Wind Fire Wheels for the time being, and this storage ring. The Resurrection Thousand Gold Vine inside is enough to maintain their souls for five hundred years."

After speaking, Xu Que placed a storage ring and the pair of Wind Fire Wheels on the ground.

"Where... where did you find them?" At this moment, Xuan Yuan Wanrong finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

"The ancestral tomb in the back mountain of the Heavenly Palace Academy, which is also the site of your former Heavenly Palace Academy's ancestral tomb!" Xu Que said indifferently, stepping forward to leave.

But before he had walked two steps, he stopped again, his back to Xuan Yuan Wanrong: "By the way, let me explain, pretending to be your grandfather just now was just a joke, I wanted to give you a buffer period so it wouldn't be so sudden.

Now that I've handed your parents' souls over to you, we're even from now on. I'm not a member of your Xuan Yuan Clan, and I'll find a way to solve the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book matter, so if there's nothing else in the future, let's try not to have any contact!"

"Take the pills!" Xuan Yuan Wanrong pursed her lips, looking down at the bottle of pills on the ground.

"No need!"

Xu Que didn't reply indifferently and continued walking forward. With a "snap," his foot happened to step on the pill bottle, the whole bottle shattered instantly, and the pills were crushed!

"You..." Xuan Yuan Wanrong frowned instantly, opening her mouth to say something.

Xu Que turned around abruptly and said indifferently: "I just said, we're even from now on. You hurt me just now, but I'll accept it. After all, I once used your parents' souls to kill others, so now it's considered repaid, but..."

Xu Que paused slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said coldly: "But, from now on, if you dare to touch me or the people around me in the slightest, I will absolutely not let it go! Believe me, even now, I have the ability to kill you, don't think that being an Immortal Venerable or Immortal Emperor is so great!"

After the words fell, Xu Que wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned around, and strode away.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong looked at his back, her gaze flickering slightly, and finally she lowered her head silently, looking at the shattered bottle of pills, feeling a bit lost.

A few breaths later, she picked up the Wind Fire Wheels and the storage ring from the ground, took back the two souls of Xuan Yuan Qishang and Guan Chuchu, and returned to the inn calmly.

That day, Liu Jingning and the others all received Xu Que's sound transmission and left the inn.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong sat alone in her room, looking silently at the Wind Fire Wheels, trying to communicate with the two souls, but to no avail.

She looked calm, raising her head to look out the window.

It was already evening, the sun was setting, and the light fell on her exquisite face, reflecting a hint of loneliness and solitude in her eyes.

……

At the same time, Xu Que and his group had already rushed back to the Buried Immortal Valley in the Eastern Wasteland.

Although the Buried Immortal Valley had been sacrificed and turned into a dead land, that void boundary point still existed.

Er Gouzi had accidentally run to the Path to Immortality from this void boundary point and met Xu Que by chance.

At this time, the group was ready to go, preparing to leave from here and return to the Heavenly Continent.

Er Gouzi was already eager to try. After all, after Xu Que went back and finished crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, he would be a Great Luo Scattered Immortal, and with his Small Success Saint Body, he would be enough to fight a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This made Er Gouzi feel that the time to return to the Heavenly Continent and do whatever it wanted was coming.

Duan Jiude was not in high spirits, standing aside with a sorrowful face, occasionally looking at Xu Que with mournful eyes, then at Zixia Fairy beside Xu Que, and finally shaking his head and sighing.

The Eight-Headed Snake was also quite excited. Having been forgotten in the Four Great Continents all those years ago, it thought it would never see Xu Que again. Now that it was reunited with Xu Que and the others, and was going to a more powerful continent, it felt very stimulated.

As for the others of the Zha Tian Bang, they naturally stayed behind.

They were originally people of the Four Great Continents and had countless attachments here, so they were reluctant to leave. Now that they had come to the Buried Immortal Valley together, it was just to see Xu Que and the others off.

"Sect Master Xu, remember to come back and see us when you have time!"

"That's right, we will definitely carry forward the Zha Tian Bang!"

"When you come back next time, we will definitely let you see that the number one power in the Four Great Continents will be the Zha Tian Bang!"

The members of the Zha Tian Bang were all waving goodbye, reluctant to part.

"Good, when I come back next time, I will not stop until we are all drunk!" Xu Que smiled slightly and shouted to everyone.

He felt very emotional in his heart, looking back at everything again, feeling a bit sentimental.

Thinking back to when he first stepped into the Four Great Continents, who would have thought he would have all these experiences.

"To be honest, I'm also a bit reluctant to leave this place. Compared to the outside world, the Four Great Continents make me feel very stable!" Liu Jingning stood beside Xu Que and said softly: "If it weren't for you, I might have returned to the Five Elements Mountain and lived a peaceful life!"

"Don't worry, we will come back in the future, or... we will have a quieter world." Xu Que smiled faintly, thinking of the Chaos Green Lotus in his dantian.

"By the way, what happened between you and that Xuan Yuan Wanrong in the inn earlier? Why did she make a move to hurt you? If you hadn't sent a sound transmission telling us not to come out, I would definitely have scolded her properly. You clearly saved her, yet she..." Liu Jingning looked resentful and indignant.

"Alright, stop talking. This matter is my fault, and being hit by her is considered repaying her parents' kindness. From now on, she and I are even, and we have no more connection." Xu Que smiled and said calmly.

Before today, he might not have had any rejection toward Xuan Yuan Wanrong, although he often joked in front of her, he would soon admit defeat, and Xuan Yuan Wanrong had never made a move against him.

But today, Xuan Yuan Wanrong made a move!

Xu Que could not forget the murderous intent of that moment. If he didn't have the Small Success Saint Body, that blow from Xuan Yuan Wanrong would have been enough to take his life.

Therefore, at that moment, Xu Que woke up.

He understood the gap in strength between himself and Xuan Yuan Wanrong, and also understood that Xuan Yuan Wanrong would not treat him differently just because he saved her.

At least when he said the wrong thing, she would still make a ruthless move without hesitation, blasting him away as if treating him like an ant.

This touched Xu Que's bottom line. A person who could hurt him at will and then throw out a bottle of pills as if out of pity was not worth being friends with, even if she was really strong!
