Chapter 662

"Something happened!"

"It's over now!"

"Bad news has come from the Northern Sea. The Four Great Continents region was originally shrouded by shackles, but after Xu Que killed those foreign experts, the Xuanzhen Continent forcibly blasted open a temporary gap and sent a war letter!"

"They demand that Jiang Hongyan be sent back immediately, otherwise they will break through the shackles within five years and wash the Four Great Continents in blood!"

"What, how could this happen?"

"Sigh, the shackles have been laid for too many years and have gradually lost their spiritual energy!"

"Wasn't it said that they could still be maintained for ten years?"

"Originally it was ten years, but Xu Que killed the foreign experts, angering the Holy Emperor of the Xuanzhen Continent. Now they have already begun to bombard the shackles, and it will only take five years to break through!"

"Five years? This... what should we do?"

"I haven't lived enough yet. Five years will pass in the blink of an eye. Could it be that all our efforts in cultivating for so many years for the sake of eternal life have been in vain?"

Whether it was the Eastern Wasteland or the other three continents, countless cultivators were panicked, everyone fearing for their own safety!

The pressure brought by the Xuanzhen Continent made the Four Great Continents feel almost desperate and shrouded in haze!

When Xu Que received the news, he was surprisingly calm!

Because when he didn't let Jiang Hongyan return to the Xuanzhen Continent, Jiang Hongyan had already mentioned this matter and informed Xu Que that with the strength of the Xuanzhen Continent's imperial family, it would only take five years to break through the shackles!

Five years is very short for cultivators!

But for Xu Que, five years is neither too much nor too little. Anyway, it is enough for his strength to increase several times, and it is not impossible to eventually kill a peak Great Vehicle Stage expert!

So he was very calm and shouted to the outside world: "Tell the cultivators of the Four Great Continents that the threat from the Xuanzhen Continent need not be ignored. When the time comes, I will kill one for every one that comes!"

However, after these words were spread, they didn't have any effect!

There are many major forces in the Four Great Continents that understand the overall strength of the Xuanzhen Continent. Some forces' ancestors even publicly stated that the Holy Emperor of the Xuanzhen Continent is a peak Great Vehicle Stage expert!

Once this news came out, the Four Great Continents were instantly plunged into a sensation!

"Peak Great Vehicle Stage? My god, doesn't that mean he's only one step away from becoming an immortal?"

"How can we fight this?"

"Xu Que said he would kill one for every one that comes, but if the Holy Emperor of the Xuanzhen Continent comes, how can he fight him?"

"That is a being known as a half-immortal!"

Many people were shocked!

"He is too selfish. In order to keep Jiang Hongyan, he disregarded the safety of countless lives in our Four Great Continents!" The Heavenly Pride Niu Clan in the Southern Continent couldn't help but stand up and accuse Xu Que.

Once someone took the lead, others immediately swarmed out.

"The foreign experts previously revealed that Jiang Hongyan herself is a person from the Xuanzhen Continent, and she is the daughter of the Holy Emperor, an Emperor Venerable. Why stay in the Four Great Continents?"

"Xu Que has gone too far this time. In your eyes, is the life of everyone in our Four Great Continents not as important as one Jiang Hongyan?"

"Xu Que, we hereby make a request. Please consider the overall situation and hand over Jiang Hongyan!"

"Xu Que, hand over Jiang Hongyan!"

"Xu Que, hand over Jiang Hongyan!"

More and more voices spread among countless people in the Four Great Continents, eventually forming a voice that could not be ignored, all calling on Xu Que to return Jiang Hongyan to the Xuanzhen Continent!

When Xu Que heard these words, he sneered and shook his head repeatedly: "These people are truly childish and naive!"

"I should go back!" Jiang Hongyan sighed!

She didn't want to see Xu Que shouldering the accusations of the world, nor did she want to see the Four Great Continents truly washed in blood by the Xuanzhen Continent five years later!

"No, you have already promised me that you won't go back! Besides, even if you go back, it's useless!" Xu Que said firmly!

Letting Jiang Hongyan return to the Xuanzhen Continent like this is equivalent to sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth, isn't it?

That so-called Holy Emperor, for the sake of imperial power, could even kill his own daughter to let her reincarnate. Now that Jiang Hongyan has the memories of two lives and her personality has changed, if she returns to the Xuanzhen Continent, with that Holy Emperor's ruthless style, he definitely wouldn't allow her personality to inherit the throne. When the time comes, he might use even more ruthless means to forcibly reverse her personality!

That day, Xu Que appeared, standing on the city wall of an ancient city, and shouted: "Everyone come over, bring your transmission talismans, I have something to say!"

"Xu Que has appeared?"

"He finally stood up to respond. Go and see!"

Countless cultivators nearby were immediately alarmed and rushed over one after another!

Before long, the city wall was surrounded tightly, packed with people!

Everyone looked at Xu Que with complex expressions!

This young man had just killed a half-step Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert, becoming a miracle in the Four Great Continents, and had even stepped onto the existence at the very peak of the Four Great Continents. He could be said to be the pride of the Four Great Continents!

But now, in order to protect a woman, he disregarded the safety of everyone in the Four Great Continents, which made many people feel dissatisfied!

However, in front of Xu Que, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction. They all kept silent and looked at him, wanting to hear what kind of response he would give!

"People have almost arrived!"

Xu Que looked at the countless crowds on the city wall and said calmly: "Everyone, please take out all the transmission talismans on your bodies and help me spread the following words so that the Four Great Continents can hear my voice!"

After everyone was stunned, they took out their transmission talismans one after another, and their heartbeats began to accelerate!

Because they knew clearly that Xu Que was responding directly to everyone in the Four Great Continents this time, and his choice would determine the life and death of everyone in the Four Great Continents!

*Swish! Swish! Swish! *

Transmission talismans were activated one after another, turning into streams of light that flew up from the crowd and streaked toward the high sky, resembling tiny stars emitting brilliant radiance!

These transmission talismans would record Xu Que's voice!

At the same time, in an inn in the ancient city!

Jiang Hongyan sat in the room, looking through the window at the back figure standing on the city wall from afar, her eyes complex!

Jiang Taixu and Jiang Lin Lin also sat beside her. Seeing that she was worried, Jiang Lin Lin hugged her arm and asked in a milky voice: "Sister Hongyan, are you unhappy?"

Jiang Hongyan turned her head, smiled slightly, rubbed Jiang Lin Lin's little head, and said softly: "Sister is very happy!"

"But... but Lin Lin feels that Sister is not happy!" Jiang Lin Lin pouted!

"No, Sister is really happy!" Jiang Hongyan smiled faintly, her eyes looking at the back figure outside the window again. A hint of warmth appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she said softly: "Sister is very happy because I met him! He is clearly just a young boy, yet he is more powerful than countless old monsters, always protecting a piece of sky for me regardless of everything! It's just..."

Speaking of this, her voice became lower, like a murmur to herself: "It's just... this shouldn't be borne by him. Maybe I should leave. Someday in the future, I will still be able to reunite with him!"

And at this time, Xu Que stood on the city wall, the focus of all attention, his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering!

Finally, he said in a deep voice: "First of all, I want to give a response here to those who want me to hand over Jiang Hongyan!" ===== CHAPTER 663 =====
