Chapter 3: Blood Debt Paid in Blood!

"Elder, Sect Master, it's bad! That Xu Que has killed his way up here!"

"He's crazy! He brought a pile of corpses up here and killed several senior brothers from the Elite Hall!"

Outside the council hall, several Profound Heaven Sect disciples fled over, crawling and rolling, kneeling outside the door and shouting in panic.

With a "bang," the council hall doors swung open, and several elders walked out with faces full of shock.

"What did you say? That Xu Que killed our sect's disciples?"

They were extremely shocked!

The disciples of the Elite Hall were all at the Core Formation Stage, and each of them had been down the mountain for training, with rich practical experience. How could they be killed by a mere Core Formation Stage cultivator?

"That little bastard is tired of living! Sect Master, this old woman will go and take his head off." The old woman was so angry that smoke was coming out of her seven orifices, gritting her teeth in rage. She pinched a flying sword and was about to rush out.

Zhang Danshan's face sank: "Elder Sun, wait! This person cannot be killed!"

"What?" The old woman widened her eyes instantly. "Sect Master, that little bastard has come to our Profound Heaven Sect to kill people, and we can't easily let him go? If this gets out, how will our Profound Heaven Sect stand in the Fire Yuan Kingdom?"

Zhang Danshan was also angry, shouting sternly: "Shut up! If it weren't for your own arbitrary actions, would this matter have blown up so big?"

"Sect Master, you......" The old woman was stunned on the spot.

The several elders present were also stunned. Elder Sun was an old meritorious official who helped establish the Profound Heaven Sect!

And all along, the Sect Master had been very polite to her, but now, because of a Xu Que, he was actually angry at Elder Sun!

"Don't forget his master is Duan Jiude! I said, that person is someone none of us can afford to provoke. Xu Que has a secret talisman on him. If he encounters danger and crushes the secret talisman, Duan Jiude will arrive immediately. By then, don't talk about the Profound Heaven Sect; even the entire Fire Yuan Kingdom will be finished." Zhang Danshan said with a gloomy face.

Hearing this, the several elders gasped!

The entire Fire Yuan Kingdom will be finished?

My god, who exactly is that Duan Jiude?

No wonder the Sect Master is so wary. It seems he really cannot be provoked!

"Sigh, what should we do now?"

"We can't just let him kill people in the Profound Heaven Sect to vent his anger, right?"

The several elders were distressed.

The expression on the old woman's face shifted between gloom and light. Clearly, Zhang Danshan's words had shocked her, making her finally understand that Duan Jiude really could not be provoked.

After much hesitation, the old woman gritted her teeth and made a concession: "Sect Master, this old woman is willing to take responsibility for this matter. I will go out now and give him an explanation."

"How do you intend to handle it?" Zhang Danshan asked.

The old woman closed her eyes slightly, suppressed her frustration, took out a bottle of pills from her storage ring, and said: "This old woman will personally bring this last bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pills to apologize to him!"

The expression on Zhang Danshan's face finally eased, and he nodded slightly: "Although Spirit Nourishing Pills are precious, with his vision, I'm afraid it's not enough. Take a few more Dharma artifacts later."

"Yes......" The old woman gritted her teeth and replied.

It was evident how unwilling she was inside!

Then, the several people flashed and streaked away, steering their flying swords, quickly toward the martial arts field.

Not long after, they finally arrived.

But what they saw before them made these several Nascent Soul Stage elders, including the Infant Transformation Stage Zhang Danshan, move with shock!

They saw Xu Que standing in the center of the martial arts field. On the left were over a hundred bloody corpses of Yin Ghost Sect disciples, and on the right were piled several corpses of Profound Heaven Sect Elite Hall disciples. Blood had dyed the entire originally white and flawless martial arts field red!

But the reason why several people were so moved was the corpse of the black-robed old man lying in the pile of corpses.

"The Yin Ghost Sect Master is dead? These...... these people, were they all killed by you?" An elder looked at Xu Que in extreme shock.

"Finally willing to come out? Heh, wait until I slaughter this old woman, and you will know if I killed them." Seeing several people appear, Xu Que sneered coldly, his eyes locked directly onto the old woman, his killing intent boiling.

The old woman felt a chill down her spine, her heart trembling.

The several elders were even more shocked!

That Yin Ghost Sect old monster was also an existence at the Nascent Soul Stage!

He actually died in this kid's hands?

This...... how is that possible?

At the same time, those Profound Heaven Sect disciples who had fled in all directions saw the Sect Master and elders come out and immediately gained confidence, surrounding Xu Que one after another.

Everyone was full of indignation, glaring at Xu Que.

Someone roared: "Sect Master, this person is too ruthless. Several senior brothers just said one sentence to him, and they were killed."

"That's right, Sect Master, you must avenge the several dead senior brothers!"

"This evil thief must be cut into a thousand pieces!"

Facing this scene of being pointed at by thousands, Xu Que smiled calmly and composedly: "Don't be in a hurry. In a while, I will send you to accompany your senior brothers!"

The crowd became even more annoyed, cursing: "You murderer who doesn't blink, my senior brothers won't let you go even as ghosts."

"Today our Profound Heaven Sect will definitely cut you into a thousand pieces!"

"Make you wish you were dead!"

The cursing on the martial arts field became more and more intense.

Tang Xueru stood in the crowd, her face also full of anger. Finally, she took a step forward, pointed her sword at Xu Que, and scolded: "Yesterday I saw you crying for that woman and thought you were a kind person who valued love and righteousness. I didn't expect you to be such a bastard who can't distinguish right from wrong. I already explained to you that we were just passing by last night and were not accomplices of the Yin Ghost Sect. Why do you still want to kill people here indiscriminately?"

Not just her, almost all the Profound Heaven Sect disciples didn't know the truth, thinking Xu Que was addicted to killing!

Xu Que shook his head and sneered, staring at Tang Xueru: "Ever heard of the phrase 'big chest, no brain'? That refers to you!"

"You......" Tang Xueru's face flushed red instantly, trembling with anger.

"What about me? Do you know who let the Yin Ghost Sect go to slaughter the village? That's right, it was your master, this conscience-less old woman!" Xu Que roared loudly.

As soon as the words fell, the whole scene went silent instantly, not a sound!

Everyone's eyes fell on the old woman one after another.

The old woman gritted her teeth tightly, her hands clenched, veins appearing, her eyes also staring fixedly at Xu Que, full of killing intent!

But her silence had already made all the Profound Heaven Sect disciples understand a fact!

Their Elder Sun had actually colluded with the demonic Yin Ghost Sect to slaughter Panshan Village.

Tang Xueru was stunned on the spot, her mind blank, looking at her master in disbelief, unable to believe this was true.

"Young Friend Xu!"

At this moment, a plain yet loud voice finally broke the silence.

Zhang Danshan looked at Xu Que calmly and said: "Calm down first. We will give you an explanation for this matter."

After speaking, he looked at the old woman.

The old woman's face was gloomy as she took out a bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pills and said unwillingly: "This matter was handled a bit too far by this old woman. Let these Spirit Nourishing Pills be an apology to those ants...... villagers! In addition, you can go to the Treasure Pavilion of my inner sect and choose a few Dharma artifacts at will!"

After speaking, she flicked her finger, and the pill bottle floated toward Xu Que, landing in front of him.

Xu Que grabbed the bottle of pills, didn't even look at it, and smashed it directly onto the ground.

With a "snap," the bottle shattered, and several precious pills that were enough to make countless Nascent Soul Stage experts jealous fell into the pool of blood and were directly ruined.

Xu Que sneered: "What kind of trash is this? A bottle of trash pills wants to compensate for the lives of so many villagers? Keep dreaming! I tell you, today, even if you give the entire Profound Heaven Sect to me, it won't be enough for compensation!"

"Presumptuous!" The old woman was furious on the spot, widening her eyes at the few Spirit Nourishing Pills, her heart almost bleeding!

Zhang Danshan was also slightly stunned, frowning at Xu Que: "What exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? Hahahahaha......"

Xu Que suddenly laughed loudly, his hoarse and ferocious laughter like a great bell, echoing throughout the entire Profound Heaven Sect.

The next moment, the laughter stopped abruptly. His bloodshot eyes stared straight at the old woman, chanting word by word: "I want this old woman to pay a blood debt with blood!" ===== CHAPTER 4 =====
