Chapter 1664: Heading to the Holy Moon Hall

On this day, the news of the Desire Demon Sect's destruction spread throughout the entire Nether Nether Region.

Everyone who heard this news felt shocked, their hearts filled with an indescribable sense of disbelief.

After all, that was Qiu Wumo!

A legend of the Nether Nether Region!

Before him, no one had ever been able to rule the Nether Nether Region!

Admittedly, part of this was due to his Half-Step Immortal Emperor strength, but his methods of domination were even more formidable!

Could it really have collapsed just like that?

"Have you heard? The Desire Demon Sect has disbanded!"

"Really? What happened?"

"Uh... apparently they went bankrupt."

"What the hell? Bankrupt? How could the Desire Demon Sect have no money?"

"You didn't know? I heard a guy from the Zha Tian Bang Gambling God gambled against Qiu Wumo, won in the end, and so Qiu Wumo disbanded the Desire Demon Sect!"

"Awesome! Did Qiu Wumo not make a move?"

"Seems like he didn't; I heard Qiu Wumo didn't say a single word, just went back and immediately disbanded the Desire Demon Sect!"

"Holy crap! Even Qiu Wumo dared not act; does that mean this Zha Tian Bang Gambling God is even stronger than Qiu Wumo?"

Someone boldly speculated: "In my opinion, it's probably not that the Gambling God is more powerful than Qiu Wumo, but rather that Qiu Wumo fears the people inside the Zha Tian Bang; think about it, with Qiu Wumo's personality, how could he possibly gamble against someone stronger than himself? The Gambling God's strength must be inferior to Qiu Wumo's, but there must be someone within the Zha Tian Bang whose power exceeds Qiu Wumo's!"

Everyone knew that Qiu Wumo's greatest specialty was bullying the weak and fearing the strong; when meeting someone powerful, he would shut his doors and refuse to see them, but when encountering the weak, he would slaughter in all directions.

Combining all the information, the crowd suddenly felt as though a door to a new world had opened before them.

Holy crap!

This speculation makes a lot of sense!

Very quickly, news that the Zha Tian Bang possessed a Half-Step Immortal Emperor Level expert spread among several major domains.

Among them, in Wudu Domain's Show Water, the rumors were spread with the most convincing detail.

Heavenly Gate, South Heavenly Gate City.

"Let me tell you! Back then, I watched with my own eyes as that Half-Step Immortal Emperor from the Zha Tian Bang made just one move and twisted off the head of the Heavenly Gate's Immortal Venerable!"

Inside a Jiu Guan, a Cultivator from Wudu Domain was vividly describing the member of the Zha Tian Bang he had encountered.

The surrounding Cultivators all wore expressions of contempt, indicating they simply could not believe it.

"Stop talking nonsense; I've never even heard of that Zha Tian Bang; how could they be that awesome!"

"Exactly; how many Half-Step Immortal Emperors are there? You could count them on your fingers; where did this extra one come from?"

"It's definitely nonsense; stop Acting Cool here!"

The Cultivator who had been bragging immediately lost his composure, slapped the table, and began arguing loudly with the skeptical Cultivators.

Sitting in the corner, Xu Que listened to these discussions, his expression becoming somewhat subtle for a moment.

Without needing to be told, he knew the source of these rumors must be Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude!

After dealing with Qiu Wumo, the original plan had been to head directly to South Heavenly Gate City.

This was because information obtained in Eternal Dark City indicated that Xiao Rou was currently within the Central Heavenly Gate.

However, to enter the Central Heavenly Gate, one must first pass through the Southern Heavenly Gate, then board the Heavenly Boat of the Southern Heavenly Gate to cross the boundless Boundless Abyss Sea between the Heavenly Gates.

Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude had gone ahead directly, claiming they needed to scout the location first, and had immediately run off.

Xu Que, on the other hand, had to stay a few more days at the Imperial Physician Sect due to Su Yunlan and the others, enjoying the pleasure of spring breezes night after night.

Only after finally appeasing the various women did he reorganize his gear and arrive at the Southern Heavenly Gate.

"Those two dog-like things spreading these rumors... who knows what trouble they've caused here that they're preparing to pin on me!"

Xu Que knew those two fellows better than anyone; Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude adhered to the same principle: make great wealth while keeping quiet.

Every time such rumors spread in the outside world, there was only one reason.

They had provoked a major trouble and were using this method to send a message to Xu Que, urging him to hurry over and save their lives.

As for whether he would save them?

"Of course I won't save them," Xu Que was extremely calm about his refusal to rescue them; "As the saying goes, good people die young while troublemakers live for a thousand years; with Er Gouzi being a great troublemaker who has lived for nearly ten thousand years, he simply cannot die."

In order to find out exactly what those two fellows had done, Xu Que specifically sought out a local Cultivator of the Southern Heavenly Gate to inquire for information.

As expected, as soon as he asked about Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, all he received were curses.

"You're looking for them? Damn it, I'm looking for them too; those two guys are incredibly shady!"

"Don't let me catch that dog, or I'll definitely tear him into ten thousand pieces!"

"Brother, if you get any information, notify me; I'll come over and help you deal with them."

"I heard they appeared at the Holy Moon Hall some time ago; let's go over there and look for them later."

Holy Moon Hall?

Upon hearing this name, Xu Que felt an immense sense of familiarity.

Strange; he had never been to the Immortal Cloud Continent before, so why did it sound so familiar?

After pondering hard for most of the day, he finally realized.

Damn it, that woman in white from before!

Back when he was undergoing Tribulation on Tianzhou, a woman in white and a woman in black had appeared.

The woman in white was named Nishang Fairy, and it was said she came from the Holy Moon Hall!

"I didn't expect there to be an old acquaintance here."

Xu Que curled his lips into an arrogant arc; since there was an old acquaintance, everything would be easy to handle.

He vaguely remembered that back then, that Nishang Fairy seemed to be preparing to cause him trouble, right?

Hehe, then let me give her a surprise!

……

Half a day later, before the main gate of Holy Moon Hall.

A monk brimming with righteousness stood outside the gate, staring dumbly up at this sect floating atop a rainbow, his heart deeply shocked.

He never could have imagined that Holy Moon Hall was actually built upon a rainbow, resembling a true Heavenly Palace!

Countless Cultivators moved to and fro within it, surrounded by swirling white clouds and mist, just like true Immortals.

Around this massive hall, several Heavenly Rivers flowed atop the rainbow, surging toward the distance.

A Disciple tasked with guarding the gate had noticed the monk the moment he appeared.

Every Cultivator approaching Holy Moon Hall was closely monitored; after all, the Heavenly Demon Sect was always lurking nearby, eyeing them greedily, leaving them no choice but to remain vigilant.

Yet, looking at this monk, the Disciple found it impossible to harbor even a shred of suspicion from the bottom of his heart; the other party's appearance was simply too righteous!

Merely gazing at that face, one could feel a surge of righteousness welling up spontaneously, as if looking upon a Righteous Warrior prepared to safeguard peace in the world.

The monk pressed his palms together and softly chanted a Buddha Name: "Amitabha, this poor monk has come to visit the Holy Maiden of Holy Moon Hall."

"May I ask what identity the Great Master holds?" the Disciple asked respectfully, noticing faint Buddha Light shimmering behind the monk's head.

After all, any monk capable of naturally generating Buddha Light was no simple figure.

The monk smiled slightly, like the Buddha holding a flower: "Amitabha, this poor monk is Tang Sanzang of the F*cking Heaven Sect."
