Chapter 723: Truly Haunted!

A day had passed!

Xu Que was still sitting on the roof of the inn, his eyes fixed intently on his phone!

There was no reply from Xu Feifei; her Moments still displayed "Sending..."

He continued to wait!

Until night fell once again!

There was still no reply from Xu Feifei, and her Moments still displayed "Sending..."

Furthermore, Xu Que had tried sending messages to other friends in the meantime, but they always failed to send!

"What kind of crappy internet speed is this? I can't take it anymore!" Xu Que began to grow impatient.

His patience only lasted for a day and a night.

"Forget it, forget it. Er Gouzi, I'm giving you a very important task: continue to moonlight as a signal booster here. I'm going out for a bit and will be back," Xu Que said, placing the phone beside Er Gouzi before preparing to leave.

After all, he was supposed to have gone to the palace to see Lady Ya last night. It was already the following evening; if he didn't go now, the people in the palace might get worried!

So, at the very least, he had to show his face before returning, so as not to let them worry for nothing.

Upon seeing this, Er Gouzi immediately panicked and shouted, "Damn it, kid, don't you leave! Let this God Venerable go, or I'll crush your 'hand-chicken' later!"

"Eh? Oh, you make a very good point!"

Xu Que stopped abruptly, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly as he immediately pinched out several Dharma seals!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Accompanied by several brilliant rays of light, the restrictions on Er Gouzi were instantly strengthened by several dozen layers.

"Holy sh*t!"

Er Gouzi's eyes widened on the spot, completely dumbfounded.

At the same time, Xu Que also took out a Spirit-grade formation and set it up directly on the inn's roof to protect the phone and prevent outsiders from approaching!

Having finished all this, he left with peace of mind, reverting to his true appearance and speeding toward the palace, leaving Er Gouzi howling alone on the roof!

"Damn it!"

"Damn, damn, damn!"

"Awoo! Kid, come back!"

"Let this God Venerable go!"

"You beast!"

"Woof! Holy sh*t, wrong word, awoooo..."

However, the most coincidental thing in the world was that the moment Xu Que turned to leave, his Moments post had just successfully sent!

Even more coincidentally, it happened to be a special day on Earth!

For countless people, it was just an ordinary, mundane day.

But for a few of Xu Que's friends, this day was the anniversary of Xu Que's death!

After he died in a car accident back then, everyone pooled money to help with his funeral, but his younger sister refused and managed to get a large sum of money herself, holding a beautiful funeral and placing his grave in the cemetery!

Now, on the anniversary of his death, only three young men dressed in suits and leather shoes had come to Xu Que's grave!

"Six years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

"Yeah! We've also been graduated for three years!"

"Sigh, Old Third has been gone for six years. I didn't expect that only the three of us would come to see him on the anniversary of his death!"

"Forget it, everyone has jobs now; it's normal not to have time!"

"Lin Yuxi is really quite heartless. She at least dated Old Third, yet she hasn't come to see him even once!"

"Hmph, if she hadn't broken up with Old Third back then, Old Third wouldn't have had that accident!"

When one of them said this, the atmosphere suddenly turned silent.

Clearly, the three were Xu Que's college roommates: Ceng Darong, Su Xiaoliang, and Wang Jin!

"Do you guys think that was really an accident? Anyway, I don't believe it!" At this moment, Su Xiaoliang shook his head, his expression somewhat heavy.

Wang Jin sighed, "Even if we don't believe it, what can we do? Can we find evidence? Six years have passed; we shouldn't be obsessed anymore."

"What about Feifei? To avenge her brother, she didn't even finish college and went abroad alone. There hasn't been a word from her since!"

"Sigh, I've been asking people to look for her these past few years, but I've gained nothing!"

"The world is so big; trying to find her is like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"I just hope she's safe and sound; otherwise, how could we face Old Third?"

After speaking, the three fell silent again.

"Ding-dong!"

At this moment, Su Xiaoliang's phone rang.

"Sigh, probably company business again!" He sighed with a hint of fatigue, took out his phone, and opened WeChat.

However, it was a message from his girlfriend, asking him to like her Moments post, saying there was some kind of prize!

Su Xiaoliang couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head, but he still clicked on Moments.

But the next moment, Su Xiaoliang froze in place, and immediately after, his expression changed slightly, and the pupils in his eyes began to shrink rapidly.

"Ho... how is this possible? Boss, Old Fourth, you... you guys look..." He was so nervous he couldn't even speak clearly, and he called his two friends over in utter shock!

Ceng Darong and Wang Jin were also stunned for a moment, saying speechlessly, "You look like you've seen a ghost. What did you see?"

As they spoke, the two leaned over.

Immediately after, the two were also dumbfounded.

"Holy sh*t! This... how does this person look so much like Old Third? No, he seems even more handsome than Old Third. Did he use a beauty filter?"

"He's even dressed in ancient costume and taking a photo with a Husky. Is he filming some kind of ancient drama? But it's strange; he really does look like Old Third!"

The two looked on in amazement, examining the photo on the phone.

Su Xiaoliang couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "You two idiots, look clearly at who posted this Moments!"

The next moment, the expressions on Ceng Darong and Wang Jin's faces instantly froze!

"Holy sh*t! Old Third's WeChat!"

"My mom, are we truly haunted?"

Meanwhile, deep in the void, an unknown distance away.

The Imperial City of the Fire Yuan Kingdom on the Five Elements Mountain in the Cultivation World!

Xu Que had already reverted to his true appearance and was quietly speeding toward the palace in the pitch-black night!

With his current Void Refinement stage cultivation, it was impossible for anyone to notice him entering or leaving the palace. Furthermore, the palace's formations were laid out by him personally when he left back then; entering and leaving this place now was as easy as walking in and out of his own home!

On top of the palace, Xu Que opened his Divine Sense and quickly found several familiar auras.

Lady Ya, the sisters Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi, and the beautiful Sect Master of the Grand Imperial Physician Gate, Su Yunlan, who had also moved to the Fire Yuan Kingdom's palace!

"Hiss! With four people, I'm afraid one bed won't be enough!" Xu Que muttered to himself, shamelessly imagining a certain scene before leaping toward Lady Ya's sleeping quarters, which were the closest.

At this moment, Lady Ya was lying on her side on the bed, her clothes half-covered, looking dignified and luxurious, holding a book in her hands and reading it carefully.

But after a while, she seemed to lose interest, put down the book in boredom, and gazed longingly at the starry sky outside the window.

A moment later, she sighed softly, "Thinking of you day and night, yet you are not here! I have read the poems you left behind countless times over the past few years. Xu Que, when will you finally return..."

Knock, knock!

At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by an Imperial Guard kneeling on one knee and shouting from outside, "Reporting to Lady, Young Master Yang Qianyun of the Exploding Heaven Gang is outside requesting an audience!"

"Oh? Young Master Yang is here? Quickly, invite him in!" Upon hearing this, Lady Ya hurriedly tidied her clothes, threw on a long robe, and walked toward the door of the sleeping quarters.

Before long, an Imperial Guard brought a young man over.

The young man looked nervous, looking around vigilantly from time to time.

As soon as Lady Ya saw the visitor, she immediately asked, "Young Master Yang, how is it? Is there any news of Xu Que?"

The young man hurriedly replied, "Lady Ya, it's bad! I just received news from the gang that Xu Que encountered an ambush on his way here, and his life or death is uncertain! But he entrusted someone to bring a message that he wants to see you!"

"Wha... what?" Upon hearing this, Lady Ya's face turned pale, and her mind roared!

The young man also said anxiously, "Lady Ya, time is short. Please set off with us immediately to support Xu Que; otherwise, if we are late, I'm afraid something terrible will happen!"

"Okay, we..." Lady Ya was extremely anxious and was about to nod in agreement, but halfway through, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Almost simultaneously, a playful laugh came from outside the sleeping quarters.

"Yo! I just arrived and heard someone saying I was ambushed and my life or death was uncertain. Come, come, tell me, how exactly is my life or death uncertain?"
