Chapter 1494: Heavenly Gate

Very quickly.

The news that Hua Wuque of the Blasting Heaven Gang had crushed and killed Xiang Xun, the Sect Master of Qinghong Sect, in a single move while at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, began to spread throughout the entire Jinghe City.

At the same time, the information rapidly fermented, transmitting to all factions, large and small, within the surrounding area.

Inside Fencheng Gate!

A thin, middle-aged man sat upright in the position of Sect Master, holding a cup of hot tea and savoring it carefully.

Suddenly, a disciple rushed in from outside and knelt at the entrance.

"Reporting to Sect Master, something has happened in Jinghe City!"

Guan Liu Mang's expression did not change; he still held the teacup and took a light sip.

Feeling the aroma of the tea spread through his mouth and deep into his lungs, he slowly spoke: "What is it?"

"Sect Master, Sect Master Xiang of Qinghong Sect... is dead."

"Dead is dead..." Just as he was about to set down his teacup, halfway through his sentence, his rough hands suddenly trembled violently.

"Crash!"

The teacup fell!

"What did you say? Xiang Xun is dead?" Guan Liu Mang's eyes widened abruptly, filled with immense shock.

"Yes! It was that youth who previously kidnapped the young lady; he killed Sect Master Xiang!"

"What exactly happened? Wasn't it said that youth was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm? How could Xiang Xun possibly have died at his hands?"

Guan Liu Mang asked in alarm.

Countless conjectures had already arisen in his mind; could it be that the youth possessed some Divine Object and took Xiang Xun by surprise to slay him?

"According to the news sent by the Young Sect Master and the others, that Hua Wuque possesses at least the strength of the Immortal King Realm, and he completely suppressed Sect Master Xiang throughout the fight; Sect Master Xun couldn't even utter a word of begging for mercy before being suddenly slain. Moreover, Sect Master Xun seemed to have unleashed a Demon Sect Forbidden Technique at the very last moment... but it was useless!"

The disciple of Fencheng Gate recounted the entire affair in full detail, including Xu Que's announcement of taking over everything.

"What? This... how is it possible?"

Guan Liu Mang listened with a face full of horror.

If this disciple had not been in the sect for many years and was his trusted confidant, he would have almost thought someone was coming to play a joke on him.

Xiang Xun, an Immortal King among Immortal Kings, could be beaten by a youth at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm until he was utterly powerless to resist?

He didn't even have time to beg for mercy and was killed directly?

Then doesn't that mean that Hua Wuque of the Blasting Heaven Gang is not merely at the early stage of the Immortal King Realm, but absolutely possesses the strength of the intermediate or even late stage of the Immortal King Realm!

This is too absurd!

The more Guan Liu Mang thought about it, the heavier his heart became.

Xiang Xun's strength was a few notches higher than his own; if Xiang Xun had no power to fight back against the youth, then if he dared to make a move himself, the consequences would surely be even more miserable!

He never expected such a figure to appear at this critical juncture of the Three Sects Selection.

This is truly somewhat difficult to handle!

Moreover, that youth also said he represents the Blasting Heaven Gang in taking over Jinghe City! He wants to take over the Three Sects!

This is the real big trouble.

What kind of faction is the Blasting Heaven Gang, exactly?

Why would just anyone popping up be so incredibly powerful!

Looking at it now, if they want to preserve Fencheng Gate, they can probably only ask The One from the Heavenly Gate to make a move.

That person is a true High-grade Immortal King!

Guan Liu Mang boasted that if he were to face that person, he would definitely suffer a crushing defeat within three moves!

Now that a great enemy has appeared in Jinghe City, only by inviting that person to act can all these troubles be resolved!

Thinking of this, Guan Liu Mang narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to have already made his decision.

On the other side, just as the Sect Master of Fencheng Gate received the news, one of the Three Sects, the Five Aggregates Tower, had also learned of Xiang Xun's tragic death.

However, since the Five Aggregates Tower did not participate in this incident, although the Tower Master was also very shocked, he did not intend to provoke a genius youth who could easily torture and kill an Immortal King without good reason.

At this moment, Xu Que had already changed to a different inn.

Amidst the Shopkeeper's pained smile, Xu Que happily settled in.

He did not plan to leave Jinghe City.

Since he had already started stirring things up, he had to continue making them even bigger.

The great cause of Acting Cool cannot be abandoned halfway.

However, now that Xiang Xun is dead, the other two sects probably wouldn't dare to provoke him anymore; so how should he continue to make things bigger?

Xu Que stood at the window of his room, gazing at the night scenery outside, lost in deep thought.

"If only Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude were here; at least I could listen to their opinions, then eliminate their suggestions, and whatever remains would surely be a good idea."

Xu Que missed Er Gou and Duan Jiude somewhat; without these two Salted Fish cheering him on and shouting '666', his Acting Cool felt less smooth, and he even felt a bit like coughing!

Sigh!

"Eh?"

Xu Que had just sighed and was about to compose a poem facing the night scenery when he suddenly glanced at a corner of the street outside the window, where someone seemed to be waving at him, signaling something.

Looking closely, it was actually Guan Zheng!

Xu Que was instantly stunned.

Why has this woman come again?

Not sleeping late at night, what is she secretly sneaking out to do again?

Could it be that she was conquered by my, the Holy One of Acting Cool, domineering presence during the day, and now wishes to come bear my children?

No, this is absolutely not allowed!

I, Xu Que, am a man of principles; I am not as casual as you imagine!

"Come up; the door isn't locked! If you want to climb through the window, that's fine too, just don't let anyone see you," Xu Que said via Sound Transmission, while simultaneously fixing his hairstyle.

However, Guan Zheng seemed to have no intention of coming up.

She remained hidden in the corner, her Expression somewhat anxious as she constantly scanned her surroundings, before finally looking at Xu Que and transmitting her voice: "Brother Hua, why are you still staying here? Leave Jinghe City immediately, go as far away as possible."

Her tone appeared somewhat hurried.

Xu Que, however, was surprised.

He had already slain Xiang Xun in a single move before so many people, successfully establishing his authority.

Why was someone still coming to advise him to run?

"For the Three Sects Selection, a Representative from one of the Four Great Heavenly Gates has come to supervise; my father has already notified that adult from the Heavenly Gate, and he will arrive very soon. It is rumored that The One is at least a High-grade Immortal King in realm, merely half a step away from the Immortal Venerable realm; even Xiang Xun could not withstand three moves under his hand."

Guan Zheng transmitted her voice again, speaking anxiously.

Xu Que, upon hearing this, was delighted.

I was just wondering how to continue stirring up trouble, and you guys have conveniently sent people directly to me!

A High-grade Immortal King?

A High-grade Immortal King is good.

Only fighting this kind of Immortal King gives the feeling of a bloody, desperate battle.

As long as I activate the Righteousness Sealing Demon Sutra, handling forty opponents alone will be a breeze!

"When will he arrive?" Xu Que asked urgently.

"Within three days, he is certain to reach Jinghe City! Brother Hua, if you leave tonight, there is still time; outside Jinghe City, there is a Teleportation Array that leads to other Ancient Cities; after you escape..." Guan Zheng continued speaking.

Xu Que abruptly interrupted: "Stop, who said I want to run? Why should I run from a mere Immortal King?"

"That is a High-grade Immortal King!" Guan Zheng emphasized.

The gap between a High-grade Immortal King and a Low-tier Immortal King is enormous!

"But isn't he still just an Immortal King?" Xu Que said with a smile: "However... I am actually more interested in the Heavenly Gate you mentioned; I recall you previously mentioned the Four Great Heavenly Gates to me, but you didn't elaborate much then, so why don't you tell me the specifics now?"

"Brother Hua, regarding the matter of the Four Great Heavenly Gates, I truly know very little; matters concerning that adult from the Heavenly Gate were only heard when my father occasionally mentioned a few sentences."

Guan Zheng shook her head, then hesitated slightly before continuing: "I have heard that the Heavenly Gate is immense, to the extent that the entire Wudu Domain is under their control."

"Moreover, within the Heavenly Gate, all are powerhouses; even Immortal Kings do not count as figures, while the number of Immortal Venerable powerhouses is countless! Even so, my father still holds the Heavenly Gate in great reverence."

"Once, I accidentally overheard him muttering to himself that if he could enter the Heavenly Gate, he would be willing to abandon everything at Fencheng Gate."

Guan Zheng revealed many things.

However, all those things indicated one fact: that the Heavenly Gate is extremely powerful.

Apart from that, there was no other important information.

"Alright, it seems that when I have time, I must go to Fencheng Gate to have a chat with your father... oh, don't worry, it's purely chatting, just to inquire about the Heavenly Gate... eh, wait, didn't you just say an Immortal King from the Heavenly Gate is coming, right?" As Xu Que spoke, his eyes lit up!

Since someone from the other side is coming, wouldn't it suffice to just ask him directly? Why bother looking for Guan Zheng's father?

"Brother Hua, don't act recklessly!" Seeing that Xu Que clearly still had the attitude of a dead pig unafraid of scalding water, Guan Zheng hurriedly advised: "Actually, there is one more matter; originally, I could not tell you, but given your current state, I must tell you."

"Wow, I even helped you before; with our relationship, you actually still have little secrets... tsk, no, little secrets from me?" Xu Que widened his eyeballs and said.

"This is not a little secret! It is a truly big secret!" Guan Zheng replied with a grave Expression, speaking in a low voice.

"Big? How big?" Xu Que asked.

"This Three Sects Selection is considered to be conducted on behalf of the Heavenly Gate, and the Heavenly Gate attaches great importance to this matter; later, a heavyweight figure will also arrive, so that Immortal King is merely responsible for liaising with the Three Sects; the true danger lies in the several Immortal Venerable powerhouses accompanying that big figure."

"Oh?" Only then did Xu Que's Expression become slightly serious.

Immortal Venerables, and several of them; indeed, they cannot be underestimated.

"But who is that so-called big figure you mentioned? To require such a grand entourage, needing several Immortal Venerables to accompany him; surely it couldn't be an Immortal Emperor, right?" Xu Que said half-jokingly.

"Shh, Brother Hua, do not speak rashly; although The One is not an Immortal Emperor, but... as everyone knows, sooner or later, she will become an Immortal Emperor," Guan Zheng hurriedly urged Xu Que to speak cautiously.

"So powerful?" Xu Que raised his Eyebrows.

An Immortal Emperor... how powerful must an opponent at this level be?

I have never encountered one; I am very curious!

However, Guan Zheng also said that whatever big figure will sooner or later become an Immortal Emperor, which means she is not yet an Immortal Emperor, so what is there to fear!

If you have the guts, just come; when the time comes, we'll just see whether I, the Holy One of Acting Cool, will beat you or not!

"Brother Hua, I have spoken to this extent; can you still not guess the identity of The One?" At this moment, Guan Zheng looked at Xu Que in amazement.

"???"

Xu Que was completely confused; you only said this much, how the hell am I supposed to guess?

Seeing Xu Que's confused Expression from afar, Guan Zheng couldn't help but say mournfully: "Who in Immortal Yuan Continent does not know that the next person with hope of becoming an Immortal Emperor must be Yu Rou Fairy!"

"Slap!"

The moment the words fell, the Malt Snow Cold Brew that Xu Que had just exchanged from the System Mall slipped instantly from his hand, spilling all over the ground.

58 Acting Cool Points!

No... that is not important.

What is important is what she just said?

The big figure who is about to appear is Yu Rou Fairy?

Isn't that just Xiao Rou?
