Chapter 1457: They All Deserve to Die

The Back Mountain of the Heavenly Palace Academy, what a familiar scene!

Xuanyuan Qishang held the hand of his young daughter, Xuan Yuan Wanrong, his face gloomy as he stared at the dozen or so people ahead.

"See Mother?"

Hearing little Wanrong's words, Xuanyuan Qishang's face twitched slightly, his gloomy expression gradually relaxing as he lowered his head and forced a smile: "Rongrong, be good, Father promises you, I will definitely let you see your Mother!"

"But we are still at the Heavenly Palace Academy; Uncle Dean and the others won't let us leave via the Back Mountain, so let's go through the Main Gate to find Mother!" Young Xuan Yuan Wanrong, looking only about four or five years old, resembled an exquisite porcelain doll, her voice milky and childish, truly making one find her adorable!

It also made one's heart ache!

Watching this scene in the image, Xu Que's heart twitched slightly.

He knew that the upcoming scene would be unbearable for anyone, let alone for Xuan Yuan Wanrong, who was so young.

"Xuanyuan Qishang, this person is quite remarkable; I once met him in a Secret Realm; this man possesses righteousness and values loyalty; even I couldn't bear to trick him and would detour whenever I saw him; I never expected that he would actually..." At this moment, Duan Qide suddenly spoke, sighing with deep emotion.

Obviously, he had also guessed that the couple, Xuanyuan Qishang and his wife, must have died at the Heavenly Palace Academy.

Er Gouzi's expression remained normal; he had already witnessed this scene before, but his current silence was enough to show that his mood was equally poor.

"Xuanyuan Qishang, are you intending to rebel?" Simultaneously, Wang Chi, the Dean of the Heavenly Palace Academy in the image, shouted angrily.

"Brother, this choice of yours disappoints me greatly!" A woman in red clothing beside Wang Chi shook her head with profound disappointment.

Xuanyuan Qishang raised his head, looking indifferently at the woman in red: "I have no sister like you; from now on, you, Xuanhong, and I shall have no further connection!"

"Bang!"

The woman in red instantly flew into a towering rage; the ground beneath her feet suddenly subsided and cracked, her temper obviously explosive to the extreme.

Xu Que also recognized this woman; she was precisely Xuan Yuan Wanrong's aunt, Xuanhong!

Back then, in the Secret Chamber at the old site of the Heavenly Palace Academy, he had activated a Restriction, causing the slumbering Xuanhong and several other experts of the Heavenly Palace Academy to awaken prematurely; all of them had furiously pursued Xu Que to kill him, but Xu Que had escaped.

Afterwards, these people took over the Heavenly Palace Academy, organized the Heavenly Selection Ceremony, and Xu Que even joined the fun, stealing the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone, which led to his current predicament of entering the Memory World.

"Xuanyuan Qishang, what exactly did that woman do to you that you would betray the Heavenly Palace Academy and betray us for a female demon from the Extreme Joy Sect?" Xuanhong roared.

"Female demon?"

Xuanyuan Qishang's expression changed abruptly, gradually turning mad as he burst in scornful laughter: "Hahaha, you people claim to be righteous, yet the things you do are more disgusting than the Demon Sect. Guan Chuchu hails from the Extreme Joy Sect, but she has never indiscriminately killed the innocent; she is my, Xuanyuan Qishang's, wife, and Rongrong's mother; how can you treat her this way?"

"Silence!" Dean Wang Chi rebuked.

His previously expressionless face now held some gravity as he said in a deep voice: "Qishang, I have always regarded you as a brother; if it were not for the sake of my Heavenly Palace Academy and the future of the entire Tianzhou, how could I make such a choice?

Ever since Rongrong was born, she was designated as the Chosen One because she inherited Guan Chuchu's Beast Bloodline; do you know how many years it has been since the Heavenly Palace Academy last produced a Chosen One?"

"Rongrong becoming the Chosen One is the Heavenly Will; the talk of Beast Bloodline is merely speculation. Her partner, the second Chosen One, should naturally be chosen and sought by her in the future; only then does it follow the laws of the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone," Xuanyuan Qishang said angrily.

"Hehehe, Xuanyuan Qishang, the Beast Bloodline of the Chosen One is not my speculation!" At this moment, an old woman with white hair laughed, her face full of Yin Energy, her smile truly appearing repulsive.

Her gaze burned intensely as she stared at Xuan Yuan Wanrong, smiling: "I have studied Beast Bloodlines for so many years, creating so many talented disciples for the Heavenly Palace Academy; this theory of the Chosen One's Beast Bloodline is a method I am absolutely certain is correct."

"Shut up, old hag!"

Xuanyuan Qishang roared, suddenly raising his hand, where a sharp blade abruptly appeared in his palm, its edge fully exposed, filled with Killing Intent.

"Today, it is not I, Xuanyuan Qishang, betraying the Heavenly Palace Academy; it is you who have forced my family of three into a dead end!"

Whoosh!

As soon as his voice fell, Xuanyuan Qishang released little Xuan Yuan Wanrong's small hand, his entire body transforming into a Light Stream as he instantly flashed forward.

"Father!" Young Xuan Yuan Wanrong was terrified, screaming out in fright.

But as Xuanyuan Qishang charged out, he cast a protective shield, confining her to the spot to prevent her from rushing into the battle zone.

Immediately after, deafening booms erupted ahead; Xuanyuan Qishang actually fought ten opponents alone, resembling a Sword God, domineering over the Kingdom, his momentum extraordinary.

"Xuanyuan Qishang, truly worthy of being the strongest expert of the Heavenly Palace Academy!"

Outside the image, seeing this scene, Duan Qide spoke again in praise.

Xu Que's expression also turned grave; he had previously contacted Xuanyuan Qishang's Divine Soul and only knew that this man was very powerful, yet he never expected that with a Flesh Body, he would be formidable to such an extent; at the peak of the Immortal Venerable Realm, he could actually fight ten opponents alone, simply terrifying!

"These people of the Heavenly Palace Academy are truly beasts!" Duan Qide spoke again, rebuking angrily.

During the great battle between Xuanyuan Qishang and the crowd from the Heavenly Palace Academy, that white-haired old woman and Wang Chi continued to persuade him incessantly, revealing much information within their words, allowing Xu Que, Duan Qide, and the others to understand the truth.

That white-haired old woman was one of the extraordinary figures of the Heavenly Palace Academy, even the topmost Medicine God of Tianzhou, her Alchemy skills unmatched under Heaven, yet she was also obsessed with Beast Bloodline research; simply put, she was a mad enthusiast of human experimentation.

The world had long forgotten her name, knowing only her title—Xue Po!

Through years of Beast Bloodline research, she had indeed created countless cultivators with powerful bloodlines, all hidden within the Heavenly Palace Academy, forming a team called the Heavenly Demons.

Rumor had it that no outsider had ever seen the Heavenly Demon team, because anyone who had seen them became a corpse!

When Xuan Yuan Wanrong was born, she startled the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone and was officially designated as the Chosen One; this should have been a joyous and celebrated event, yet she was targeted by Xue Po.

She extracted Xuan Yuan Wanrong's Beast Bloodline, and after researching it, discovered that this bloodline resonated with the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone, and furthermore, the source of the bloodline came from Xuan Yuan Wanrong's mother, Guan Chuchu.

In other words, if Guan Chuchu were to bear another child, as long as the bloodline was inherited, that child would also become a Chosen One.

This news shocked all the high-level members of the Heavenly Palace Academy!

They had waited bitterly for many years, hoping that one day two Chosen Ones would appear, undergo the Love Tribulation, activate Tianzhou, open the gate to the Divine Realm, and enter the Divine Realm.

Only in that world of the Divine Realm did they have hope to advance further, becoming Dao Venerables or Dao Emperors, or even contending for a Divine Position to become true gods!

Now that only one Chosen One, Xuan Yuan Wanrong, had appeared, if they waited until she came of age and then found someone to become her Dao Companion, that person might not necessarily be the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone's optimal choice, and they might not be able to overcome the Love Tribulation.

But if they could create a person with the same Beast Bloodline as Xuan Yuan Wanrong, perhaps the success rate would become infinitely greater.

So, how could they obtain the same Beast Bloodline?

Have Guan Chuchu bear another boy?

That would make him Xuan Yuan Wanrong's younger brother; the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone would certainly not approve of a brother and sister becoming Dao Companions, as this is a matter intolerable to Heaven and Earth; even on Earth, such a thing would result in being sent to Germany Orthopedics!

Then, finding another person with the same Beast Bloodline as Guan Chuchu? The Heavenly Palace Academy had tried, and Xue Po had stated that such a bloodline is one in Ten Million, making it impossible to find a second Guan Chuchu.

Thus, Xue Po proposed a plan: blood exchange!

She possessed a Secret Technique capable of extracting a person's Beast Bloodline and transferring it to another person without any side effects, but the person whose bloodline was extracted would surely die!

It was precisely because of this that the Heavenly Palace Academy publicly claimed they could not accept Guan Chuchu due to her origin from the Demon Sect and demanded she leave, while secretly imprisoning her in private.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Qishang discovered this matter; in a fit of rage, he took Xuan Yuan Wanrong with him, intending to rescue Guan Chuchu so that the three of them could leave the Heavenly Palace Academy as a family.

Unfortunately, his actions were also detected by the Heavenly Palace Academy, which cornered him on the Back Mountain.

Only then did this memory scene come to be.

After Xu Que and the others learned all this from the scene, their expressions turned exceptionally grim.

"This Xue Po, this Wang Chi, these people of the Heavenly Palace Academy... they all deserve to die!" Xu Que's inner heart raged with fiery anger, nearly overflowing!
