Chapter 1328: Return to Tianzhou

"Not... not as good-looking as you?"

This answer made Xu Que's eyes widen instantly, leaving him torn between laughter and tears.

Who could have ever imagined that Shi Qingxuan had such a cute side?

The key was that she had actually answered so seriously, saying the other woman wasn't as good-looking as her!

Oh heavens, this old monk's girlish heart is about to explode!

"Hahaha, Xuan'er, that's not what I meant; I was asking about her facial features," Xu Que said, unable to suppress a smile as he shook his head and began communicating via Sound Transmission with Zixia Fairy.

Zixia Fairy, however, was unusually calm; she didn't feel she had answered incorrectly and calmly described the appearance of the woman beneath the lake to Xu Que, also informing him that the woman's Bone Age was similar to his own.

After hearing this, Xu Que breathed a sigh of relief, almost certain that it was Lin Yuxi.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, another loud crash rang out from below the lake; although the ice layer above remained unmoved, this time everyone clearly saw the source of the tremendous roar.

At the center of the hundred or so coffins, the brilliantly burning White Flame erupted like a volcano, surging wildly toward the sky before plunging back into the earth.

"It truly is Miss Lin!"

"I saw her!"

"I saw her too!"

In an instant, everyone exclaimed in shock one after another.

The moment the White Flame shot up, everyone saw Lin Yuxi sitting cross-legged at the center.

Xu Que saw it too, and a smile unconsciously curved the corners of his mouth.

That Lin Yuxi could obtain this Inheritance was due to her own Fate and Creation; seeing her in such a state, one ought to be happy for her.

"Alright, since that's the case, there's no need for us to busy ourselves going down there!" Xu Que smiled slightly, his gaze turning toward the direction of the Xuan Yi Immortal Domain.

It was time to set out and return to Tianzhou!

"Guild Master Xu, although Miss Lin has been found, regarding her previous disappearance, our Litian Academy cannot shirk responsibility; from this moment on, I, the old one, will personally guard this location until she emerges from Closed-door Cultivation!" Qin Xiangtian, the Dean of Litian Academy, spoke up voluntarily.

Upon hearing this, the leaders of the other Factions also cupped their fists in unison: "Guild Master Xu, we are also willing to remain here to guard the location and protect Miss Lin during her cultivation!"

"Uh... then I must trouble you all!" Xu Que paused in surprise, then nodded with a smile.

To be honest, he wasn't worried about Lin Yuxi facing any danger here; after all, the solidity of the lake's ice layer was no weaker than that of Mirror Lake.

Given the strength of the Cultivators on Earth Continent, they probably wouldn't even be able to crack this sheet of ice.

However, since Qin Xiangtian and the others had voluntarily offered to stay, there was no need for him to decline; after all, these people all bore the title of the Blazing Heaven Guild, and they should at least be given a chance to prove themselves.

"Guild Master Xu, leave the matters here to us with peace of mind. Miss Lin's current Closed-door Cultivation will likely take several years; in the future, if Earth Continent returns to Tianzhou, I will do my utmost to ensure Miss Lin enters Tianzhou as well," Zeng Dafoye said, looking at Xu Que, pressing his palms together, and smiling slightly.

With his promise, Xu Que finally set his mind at ease.

And this was the only thing Xu Que could currently do for Lin Yuxi.

Since he couldn't promise her a lifetime of companionship, then at least... he would guarantee her a lifetime free from worry!

"Let's go; take care, everyone. We shall meet again in Tianzhou another day!"

Finally, Xu Que bid farewell to everyone and, together with Er Gouzi, Liu Jingning, and the others, set off for the Xuan Yi Immortal Domain.

Although more than a decade had passed, upon returning to the Xuan Yi Immortal Domain, the place hadn't changed much.

The Artifact Sect remained a major Faction capable of influencing the Six Great Immortal Domains, but Mo Junchen had no desire to go back and take a look.

In his words, once one joined the Blazing Heaven, the past was like vanishing clouds and smoke!

"Good brother, good Dharma Protector!"

Xu Que, filled with emotion, slapped Mo Junchen on the Shoulders with great force, retaliating for how he and Er Gou had run the fastest back at the Inn earlier.

Before long, the group traveled onward and soon reached Mirror Lake on the eastern side of the Xuan Yi Immortal Domain.

This time, it was once again Xu Que, Er Gou, and Mo Junchen who took action; the strength of two men and one dog was far greater than it had been in the past.

Now, striking Mirror Lake again posed almost no difficulty.

In merely Half an Hour, Mirror Lake was blasted through, opening a breach, within which appeared a sky resembling a mirror-like reflection.

That was the firmament of Tianzhou!

"Haha, Tianzhou, your Mighty King has returned!" Er Gouzi cried out excitedly with a long howl and was the first to leap down into Mirror Lake.

"Heh, childish; this dog is incurably chuunibyou!" Xu Que shook his head with an arrogant smile as he walked toward the edge of Mirror Lake.

The next moment, he spread his arms wide and shouted at the top of his lungs: "What damn Holy Sect, what damn Dao Fetus Divine Body—if This Seat doesn't crush you all to death this time, my surname won't be Ben!"

As soon as his words fell, he also leaped into Mirror Lake.

Everyone present twitched the corners of their mouths.

"Master, look, this kid is a typical case of 'True Fragrance,' and he has absolutely no manners, spouting profanity the moment he opens his mouth!" Duan Jiude took the opportunity to tattle to Zixia Fairy.

Zixia Fairy, however, turned a deaf ear and indifferently headed toward Mirror Lake, jumping in right behind Xu Que.

"Heh, women!" Duan Jiude shook his head, wearing an expression of frustration that iron had not been forged into steel.

Finally, Mo Junchen, Liu Jingning, and the others also stepped into Mirror Lake one after another.

This shortcut leading to Tianzhou was extremely fast.

The moment everyone entered Mirror Lake, they appeared on the land of Tianzhou the very next instant.

However, although Mirror Lake served as a passage to Tianzhou, it did not have a fixed landing point.

The last time they had stepped from Mirror Lake into Tianzhou, they had landed on Xuewu Mountain in the Ziwei Immortal Domain, and by a fortunate coincidence, had even moved away the Golden Branch Jade Liquid Pool and Xuan Yuan Wanrong's Palace.

This time, however, the place they landed was an Ancient City, and they had happened to drop right in the middle of a bustling Market!

"Damn!"

"What's going on?"

"Who are these people? How did they suddenly appear?"

"Heaven-damned lot! You've stepped on This Seat's stall; pay up, or none of you will be allowed to leave!"

A group of people suddenly appeared out of thin air, instantly startling the numerous Cultivators in the bustling Market and causing an uproar.

Er Gouzi happened to step right onto a stall set up by a Cultivator, crushing many Spirit Medicines underfoot.

"Ao, what's going on?" Er Gouzi looked utterly stunned, clearly not having expected this situation to occur.

They had only just landed, yet they were already surrounded by over ten thousand onlookers.

So... so embarrassing!

Er Gouzi immediately clamped his legs together, smiled smugly at the numerous Cultivators in the bustling Market, and opened his mouth as if to say something.

Slap!

Suddenly, a large hand reached out and firmly pressed down on Er Gouzi's dog head; it was Xu Que.

His gaze swept over to the owner of the stall, and he directly took out a Supreme Spirit Stone: "Compensate you for your Spirit Medicines, and while you're at it, tell me what place this is and which Immortal Domain it belongs to."

The stall owner immediately widened his eyes, his face filled with joyful surprise.

Even if he sold all those Spirit Medicines, he would at most get one Lower Grade Spirit Crystal; now, seeing Xu Que casually produce a Supreme Spirit Stone, he was instantly overjoyed.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist; this place is Li Feng City within the Qisha Immortal Domain!" He accepted the Spirit Crystal with a beaming smile and replied.

Qisha Immortal Domain?

Upon hearing this, Xu Que was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but smile; what a coincidence, they had actually landed right in the territory of the Shadow Floating Pagoda Sect.

"Eh, wait, look quickly at that dog and that old man!" At this moment, someone in the crowd of onlookers suddenly cried out in alarm.

Immediately following this, the entire crowd began to stir in agitation.

"Damn, isn't this Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude from the Heaven Exploding Gang?"

"Oh my god, it really is them."

"They actually dare to show up?"

"Where is Xu Que's father?"

"Are you stupid? Right now, all of Tianzhou is shouting 'First kill Xu Que, then kill his father'; how could Xu Que's father possibly dare to appear?"

"The Holy Sect, the Heavenly Palace Academy, and the Shennong Clan have all issued statements: whoever can reveal the whereabouts of Xu Que and his father will surely receive a heavy reward!"

As the crowd discussed this, all their gazes fixed firmly on Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude.
