Chapter 1746: I Killed Your Son

Until this moment, Elder Chen was still painstakingly trying to persuade him: "Elder Zhang, this Lie Tianqiong is most skilled in fire-type spells. His 'Melting Heaven and Fusing Earth' technique is unrivaled. Years ago, relying on this single move, he directly leveled a third-grade sect. Its power is infinite. Fellow Daoist, why don't we go back and deliberate on this?"

Xu Que waved his hand, took a deep breath, and said with full vigor: "Lie Tianqiong! Your mother is calling you to come out and eat!"

When he roared, he had already infused it with Chakra. This voice was like divine thunder from the heavens, echoing throughout the entire Blazing Sun Gate, lingering for a long time without dissipating.

Every cultivator who heard it was filled with confusion and bewilderment, and several people even pulled the cultivators beside them to discuss it in low voices.

"Did you hear that voice?"

"I heard it. Isn't Lie Tianqiong our Sect Master?"

"That's right, but didn't the Sect Master's mother die hundreds of years ago? This... could it be that we've encountered a ghost?"

"Eek... don't scare me, I'm a coward!"

For a time, the gaze of the entire Blazing Sun Gate turned toward the great hall on the main peak, wanting to see what reaction their Sect Master would have.

After Xu Que finished shouting these words, the great hall was silent for a moment before a heaven-shaking loud noise suddenly erupted.

Boom!

A blazing figure was seen directly crashing through the roof of the great hall, hovering in the air, looking down at the crowd from a high vantage point.

This person was surrounded by leaping flames, like flowing magma splashing about. A random clump of fire falling would melt a large pit into the hall's roof.

"He, he's here! This person is Lie Tianqiong!" Elder Chen's voice trembled uncontrollably; clearly, Lie Tianqiong had left him with deep psychological trauma.

Facing a cultivator with such an imposing momentum, Xu Que showed no fear. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "You are Lie Tianqiong?"

"That is I! Are you the one here humiliating me?!" Lie Tianqiong looked down at Xu Que, fire even spraying from his mouth as he spoke.

Xu Que was stunned upon hearing this: "How can you say I am humiliating you? This is a local slang expression, used to express my respect for you."

Lie Tianqiong's breath hitched, thinking, *You're trying to fool a ghost! *

What kind of backwater place has slang like this?

But he could sense the aura on Xu Que's body, and his heart felt a bit of vigilance toward him.

Seeing that this person was not old, yet possessed the cultivation of the mid-stage Immortal Venerable Realm, and might even be one step away from entering the peak Immortal Venerable Realm to become an existence equal to himself, he naturally could not be underestimated.

Therefore, he did not get angry immediately, but instead said in a deep voice: "So that's how it is... I wonder what business you have coming here, Fellow Daoist?"

Xu Que rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said distressfully: "Actually, I'm here to inform you that I killed your son."

"My son was killed by you?" Lie Tianqiong was stunned, his first reaction being disbelief. "Fellow Daoist, don't make such jokes."

He had reason not to believe it; after all, how could there be such an idiot in this world who, after killing someone's son, would run right in front of the father and brazenly say so?

Then he saw Xu Que reach back and pull out a corpse, throwing it on the ground, looking up at him and saying: "Look, isn't this your son?"

After being swallowed by the Qilin, Lie Hua's soul had already dissipated, but the corpse had not suffered too severe damage.

Therefore, Xu Que had carried it with him, only fishing it out of his storage space at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Lie Tianqiong was dazed for a moment, then his whole body trembled, his eyes turned crimson, and his angry voice spread across the sky: "Scoundrel! You actually dare to kill my son! Today, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces, hang your soul in the cave of the Soul-Devouring Ghosts, and let you suffer the pain of being bitten by souls!"

The flames on his body surged, suddenly turning into a sea of fire that covered the sky, burning away even the white clouds wherever it passed.

Even standing on the ground, one could feel this intense heat!

Elder Chen was already covered in sweat, not knowing if it was from the heat or fear, and said repeatedly: "Fellow Daoist, be careful. This is Lie Tianqiong's ultimate move, 'Melting Heaven and Fusing Earth'. Back then, he relied on this move to burn an expert of the same realm to death alive!"

Within the Blazing Sun Gate, the cultivators who saw this scene were all shocked and scrambled to find places to take refuge.

They knew their Sect Master's temper too well. Once this move was unleashed, it clearly meant he was truly enraged and wanted the person who provoked him to die without a burial place!

The commotion here also attracted the attention of most cultivators in Western Heaven Gate City. Powerful cultivators from various third-grade sects, and even second-grade sects, appeared one after another, looking toward the direction of the Blazing Sun Gate.

"Interesting, this old ghost is actually this angry? Could it be that he was cuckolded?"

"Hahaha, it's possible! This old ghost has been so arrogant lately, relying on his impending promotion to a second-grade sect!"

"Exactly, it's best if he wears a few more green hats to vent our hatred!"

In the very center of Western Heaven Gate City, inside a luxurious building, two cultivators were sitting opposite each other.

The female cultivator sitting on the left was none other than Fang Ling's old acquaintance, Feng Yue Hua of the Chengyuan Immortal Domain.

Opposite her was a young man with a face as fair as jade, gently shaking a jade fan in his hand, a soft smile on his face: "It seems this Lie Tianqiong isn't very popular in Western Heaven Gate."

"That old lecher, he even tried to pursue me before." Feng Yue Hua looked disgusted, her watery eyes looking affectionately at the young man, and she said softly, "Ji Hua, you promised to support me in this selection of the Chief Disciple."

As she spoke, her delicate hands had already covered the young man's right hand resting on the table, her fingertips gently caressing it.

The young man called Ji Hua resisted the urge to grab the other party's jade hand and play with it in his palm: "Rest assured, since I promised you, I will definitely help you achieve it. It's nothing more than obtaining the support of the cultivators of the entire Chengyuan Immortal Domain; it can be done very easily."

After all, with his status as a descendant of the Ji family, achieving all this was simply a breeze.

And all of this came from that genius cultivator who emerged years ago, the ancestor of all the Ji family's glory—Ji Tiancheng!

Hearing the other party's reply, Feng Yue Hua smiled even more brilliantly, though a deep sense of disgust flashed in the depths of her eyes.

If it weren't for needing to rely on the other party's power, she wouldn't want to have any connection with such a person at all.

These male cultivators were all just lusting after her body; even the way they looked at her was disgusting.

The only person in this world who cared about her was Xu Dingcheng.

Thinking of this, a fierce hatred suddenly rose in Feng Yue Hua's heart.

Xu Dingcheng was already dead, dead at the hands of that thieving monk!

She turned her head to look out the window, not letting Ji Hua see the resentment churning in her eyes.

Wait for me, Dingcheng, I will definitely avenge you!

The Saint Moon Hall will definitely be destroyed by my hands!
