Chapter 974: You Have Such Great Gall!

This time, the journey back was finally much smoother!

Xu Que found the previous location. Although this place did not belong to a Void Junction Point, because a gap had appeared, and the location of the gap happened to be on the Void Tunnel, it was actually even more convenient than a Void Junction Point; as soon as they set off, they could enter the Void Tunnel directly.

Under the protection of the Space-Breaking Talisman, the group entered the dark void once again, traveling forward all the way.

The familiar pitch-black, the familiar cold—this was the void, a deathly still space, a vast emptiness!

Along the way, Xu Que did not encounter any more bizarre things traveling or blocking the path, and they spent several months in the void, smooth and steady!

Finally, when a wisp of thin spiritual energy surged over, Xu Que's eyes finally lit up, sensing a familiar world approaching.

"Hahaha, we're finally arriving! This God Venerable has already smelled the air of the Four Great Continents!" Er Gouzi immediately shouted out loud, very excited and agitated.

A smile also appeared on Xu Que's face. Ever since he went to the Xuanzhen Continent, he had never found a chance to return to the Four Great Continents, and instead ran back to Earth. The key was that this trip to Earth also wasted quite a bit of time, and he had returned in a great hurry, not even managing to hold the wedding, and in the end, an accident occurred halfway, and he fell into the Taijin Continent again.

Fortunately, this trip to the Taijin Continent was not a loss; he had fished out quite a few good things and even obtained a Heavenly Luck Fruit for Jiang Hongyan, which would help her achieve the Heavenly Luck Divine Body in the future!

Now that he had returned, the Four Great Continents were right before his eyes. This mood was almost exactly the same as before he returned to Earth previously; there was a beautiful joy of returning to his hometown.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by bursts of wild wind whipping up, the pulling force on Xu Que and the others was also gradually weakening, which meant they were about to descend upon the Four Great Continents.

When Xu Que used the system to cast the Space-Breaking Talisman, the location he chose was in the Southern Continent, wanting to go directly to the Southern Continent Secret Realm to find Su Ling'er and the others. Having not seen them for so long, he naturally missed them!

"We're here, we're here! This God Venerable has already seen the mountains of the Southern Continent!" Er Gouzi pointed at the continent appearing ahead and shouted excitedly.

"Mm, prepare to break through the void and go out!" Xu Que nodded.

They were still considered to be inside the Void Tunnel now; as long as they used the power of the Space-Breaking Talisman to break through the tunnel wall, they would be able to reach the sky above the Southern Continent and descend smoothly.

However, as they got closer and closer to the Southern Continent, a bizarre aura slowly permeated over.

Gazing at the Southern Continent from inside the Void Tunnel, he always felt something was not quite right; it seemed to lack a trace of vitality, having a somewhat deathly still feeling.

"Strange, could it be that some change has occurred?" Xu Que couldn't help but frown, feeling a bit uneasy in his heart.

After all, calculating the time, he had already been gone for at least five or six years. This amount of time was nothing in the cultivation world, but it was enough for many things to happen!

"Eh, this God Venerable also feels something is wrong; it seems there are far fewer people!" Er Gouzi also echoed.

Jiang Hongyan also furrowed her delicate brows, remaining silent.

"Forget it, let's go down and take a look first!" Xu Que said, while simultaneously reaching out with his large hand, carrying the power of the Space-Breaking Talisman, and slapping it onto the wall of the Void Tunnel!

Boom!

A loud noise instantly rang out in all directions, and the void wall in front of the group twisted, just as if a glass mirror surface had turned into water, rippling out in circles!

The next moment, the position corresponding to Xu Que's palm bloomed with a brilliant radiance, and the entire wall of the Void Tunnel was opened into a vortex mouth, from which a powerful pulling force came, directly sweeping up Xu Que and his group.

Following that, only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and the group instantly disappeared from the Void Tunnel!

The next moment, an opening appeared in the sky above the Southern Continent, and the group stepped out from it, successfully appearing in mid-air over the Southern Continent.

A cold wind blew against their faces.

Xu Que stood in the air, his gaze sweeping across the four directions, and his expression sank instantly.

This place had truly changed!

He could clearly feel that the spiritual energy here had become much thinner, and the key was that the place he chose to descend this time was exactly near the Bliss Sect where Liu Jingning was, but now, the Bliss Sect had actually disappeared, and the entire mountain top had been leveled to the ground!

"How could it be like this?" Jiang Hongyan also discovered this point, and her expression changed instantly.

Er Gouzi opened its mouth wide: "What the hell happened here?"

"Er Gouzi, did Liu Jingning move to the Southern Continent Secret Realm with you guys back then?" Xu Que immediately looked at Er Gouzi and asked.

Er Gouzi shook its head: "No, she was in seclusion at the Bliss Sect at that time, but this God Venerable had people leave a letter for her, telling her she could go to the Secret Realm to cultivate after coming out of seclusion, but I don't know if she went later or not!"

"..." Xu Que couldn't help but frown.

He didn't know what had happened here, but if Liu Jingning met with an accident along with the Bliss Sect, he would definitely pursue it to the end and pay them back a hundredfold!

"Eh, kid, look, there are people below!" At this moment, Er Gouzi suddenly pointed at a mountain forest below and said.

Xu Que swept his gaze, looking below.

He saw an Infant Transformation Stage man draped in a black robe being chased and killed by several aristocratic family disciples dressed in luxurious clothing!

What was bizarre was that on the chest of that black-robed man, the three words "Exploding Heaven Gang" were written, and while running, he was shouting: "Damn it, I'm really screwed, why are you chasing and killing me? Our Exploding Heaven Gang has been very low-key these past few years! If you dare to touch me, Senior Duan Jiude won't let you off!"

"Hmph, Duan Jiude can't even protect himself now; the Immortals have already issued a wanted order, and the Four Great Continents are all chasing him. You remnants of the Exploding Heaven Gang should also go die!" The aristocratic family disciples in the rear said coldly, continuing to chase and kill forward.

Hearing this, Xu Que's expression turned black instantly!

Duan Jiude was being chased and killed by Immortals?

What did this mean? There were actually Immortals in the Four Great Continents?

Was it the Half-Immortal Realm? Or the Human Immortal Realm? Or even the Earth Immortal Realm?

"Whoosh!"

Xu Que didn't think any further; his figure flickered, turning into a phantom, and he directly streaked toward those Infant Transformation Stage aristocratic family disciples.

Several aristocratic family disciples were still chasing and killing the black-robed man, not noticing anything wrong at all!

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound rang out from their ears, and one of the aristocratic family disciples had only run halfway, without even any reaction, when he directly exploded into a mist of blood, dying on the spot.

"Wh... what?" Several aristocratic family disciples were instantly startled, abruptly stopping their footsteps, their faces blank.

What was the situation?

What happened?

Running perfectly fine, how could someone explode on the spot?

At the same time, the black-robed man in front, who was busy fleeing for his life, also stopped upon hearing the commotion. Turning his head to look, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face overflowed with immense surprise and excitement, shouting loudly: "Gang Leader, Gang Leader, you've finally returned!"

Gang Leader?

Upon hearing this form of address, the expressions of the several aristocratic family disciples turned pale instantly!

That person, had returned?

As this unbelievable thought arose in their minds, the group couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines. Then, following the gaze of that black-robed man, the group stiffly lifted their heads, almost scared out of their wits on the spot.

Above their heads, a figure was stepping on lightning, clothes fluttering, gazing at them with a cold expression!

That handsome face that once made people tremble with fear, that Xuanzhong Ruler that once made people's scalps tingle—who else could it be but Xu Que?

"You have such great gall!" Xu Que immediately shouted in a deep voice.

"Bang!"

The legs of the several aristocratic family disciples went soft on the spot, and they directly collapsed onto the ground, their faces drained of color, trembling in their hearts!

The Great Demon King Xu Que, had returned!
