Chapter 1747: Simply Too Deceptive

Inside the Blazing Sun Gate, the fierce flames were heaven-topping.

After a period of brewing, the entire sky had completely turned into a sea of fire, and all the cultivators in the sect had found places to take refuge.

On the mountain peaks, those spirit trees that had been cultivated for thousands of years were now unable to withstand the scorching heat and had been burned into charcoal.

Even Elder Chen felt he couldn't hold on, driving his Immortal Yuan to set up a barrier around his body to resist the heat wave.

Even so, he still felt his whole body burning, as if he were about to have a layer of skin scorched off.

"Fellow Daoist, are you just going to let him... what is that thing you're wearing on your eyes?" Elder Chen had just turned his head to persuade Xu Que when he suddenly saw him wearing a pair of black glasses.

Xu Que pointed to his eyes upon hearing this and said: "Oh, these are high-quality special-edition sunglasses produced by the Zha Tian Bang. Do you need one?"

"Can I?" Elder Chen saw that Xu Que had almost no reaction to the heat wave, so he assumed this item was a Dharma artifact and couldn't help but say happily.

"It's twenty thousand spirit stones."

"..."

After struggling repeatedly, Elder Chen helplessly bought the sunglasses.

After all, under the erosion of this heat, if he continued to stare directly at that sea of fire, his eyes might suffer irreversible damage.

When he put on the sunglasses, he found that the whole world had dimmed, and that sea of fire in the sky, which had seemed fierce and peerless, now appeared somewhat dim and no longer as dazzling as before.

"Good stuff!" Elder Chen praised, even feeling that the scorching heat on his body had lessened by a few degrees.

"Right?" Xu Que nodded and said, "You have to trust our Zha Tian Bang. With the Zha Tian Bang here, there's no need to worry about small characters like this."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers to the side: "Er Gouzi, bring the chicken wings over."

A burst of footsteps immediately came from the foot of the mountain, followed by excited shouting: "Que-ge! This God Venerable has discovered their treasure vault here! There are quite a few good things inside!"

Xu Que suddenly paused, his expression looking a bit ugly.

A miscalculation; he'd been too busy acting cool and forgot to loot the treasure vault!

Elder Chen's heart jumped when he heard the treasure vault was being looted, but thinking that he had already betrayed the Blazing Sun Gate, he felt relieved.

It was just that this style of talking about treasure vaults right off the bat felt a bit familiar...

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Que noticed Elder Chen's expression was a bit strange and asked.

Elder Chen thought for a moment and smiled: "Nothing, it's just that the companion you mentioned who is about to arrive reminds me of the 'Virtue-Lacking Dog' combination that wreaked havoc in Western Heaven Gate before. The thing they loved doing most back then was looting the treasure vaults of various sects, making the entire Western Heaven Gate resentful, yet these guys were too slippery. Forget about catching them, not many people had even seen their true forms."

"Listening to you say that, it seems you've seen them?" Xu Que asked curiously.

A look of pride appeared on Elder Chen's face: "I am not talented, but I once had the honor of seeing the Virtue-Lacking Dog combination steal from a treasure vault with my own eyes. I am one of the very few witnesses."

Just at this moment, Er Gouzi ran over excitedly holding a large tray of chicken wings, also wearing sunglasses on its face.

As soon as Elder Chen saw Er Gouzi, he immediately said happily: "Hey, right, that dog in the Virtue-Lacking Dog combination looks exactly like your partner."

As soon as it saw the fierce sea of fire overhead, it roared excitedly: "Holy crap! Such fierce fire, wouldn't the roasted chicken wings be cooked very quickly?"

"All you know is eat, eat, eat!" Xu Que said with a pained heart, "Did you organize the information on the Blazing Sun Gate I told you to?"

Toppling the Saint Moon Hall was not a small matter; at the very least, he had to collect enough information to plan how to do it with style.

Er Gouzi quickly said: "Of course I remember, all the information inside the Blazing Sun Gate is in this God Venerable's stomach."

Elder Chen heard this and said again: "That dog in the Virtue-Lacking Dog combination also liked to swallow the treasures it collected into its stomach."

After saying these words, he suddenly fell silent for a moment, his expression a bit strange.

"Actually, you are that dog, right?" Elder Chen suddenly spoke up.

Er Gouzi looked at him: "You've been shouting this God Venerable's combination title just now, what's the matter?"

Elder Chen was shocked; so this really was that dog!

No wonder the name Zha Tian Bang sounded familiar; the Virtue-Lacking Dog combination had always claimed to the outside world that they were a powerful combination belonging to the Zha Tian Bang!

Seeing Elder Chen not speaking, Er Gouzi didn't bother with him either, instead excitedly setting up the roasted chicken wings and the roasting rack, placing them in the fiercest part of the sea of fire, and then taking out a brush to start brushing sauce on them.

Before long, a rich aroma began to waft from the roasted chicken wings.

Elder Chen's nose twitched twice, and he was immediately hooked by that aroma.

"So fragrant... so fragrant... how can there be such fragrant food in this world?" Elder Chen flashed over, came directly to the roasting rack, and looked at Xu Que longingly: "Fellow Daoist, can you let me taste a skewer of roasted chicken wings?"

Although he had long since transcended the need for food and drink at his realm, the pursuit of delicious food was firmly engraved in the genes of every human cultivator, or rather, deep in their divine souls.

And Elder Chen was an expert among them, most skilled at tasting delicious food, so he was completely unable to resist the temptation of the roasted chicken wings!

Xu Que fanned the fire with one hand and said without looking up: "Zha Tian Bang roasted chicken wings, twenty thousand spirit stones."

"Twenty thousand spirit stones..." Elder Chen hesitated a bit. It wasn't that he couldn't take it out, he just felt that buying a skewer of roasted chicken wings for twenty thousand spirit stones wasn't very cost-effective.

Er Gouzi immediately shouted: "You want to eat chicken wings roasted by this God Venerable for twenty thousand spirit stones? That's simply daydreaming, wishful thinking, a fantasy! At least two hundred thousand!"

Two hundred thousand!

You might as well go rob someone!

Elder Chen didn't wait for Xu Que to speak, took out twenty thousand spirit stones and stuffed them into Xu Que's hand, grabbed a skewer of chicken wings, and ran: "Twenty thousand, deal is done, no backing out!"

Xu Que was torn between laughter and tears, put the spirit stones into his storage ring, and looked at Er Gouzi: "Your cultural level has improved recently; you even know how to use idioms."

"Hmph, this God Venerable is learned and talented, I just didn't like to show it before." Er Gouzi puffed out its chest, quite proudly, "Speaking of which, that old guy in the sky, how are you going to deal with him, Que-ge?"

"No rush, let's tease him first. Move the roasting rack over here a bit. Hey, right, fan the wind toward the sky and fan all the aroma over there."

Lie Tianqiong was currently in a state of building up momentum. The pain of losing his son made him unleash this move, wishing he could melt his son's killer into ashes on the spot.

However, just at this moment, a strange aroma drifted into his nostrils, immediately waking him from his state of building momentum.

What is that? How can it be so fragrant!

He opened his eyes wide, and after seeing the situation below, he spat out a mouthful of old blood.

These bastards are actually roasting chicken wings under his sea of fire!

Simply too deceptive!
