"What?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper immediately turned around and looked at the man. He frowned, "Lord Zeng!"
"Ha, ha, shopkeeper, I'm destined to meet this guy. For my sake, could you let them go?" Lord Zeng narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.
But at this time, he was very surprised. He didn't expect to meet Xu Que here.
Ever since he ascended to the Xuanhuang Continent, Lord Zeng's life hadn't been so smooth. From the top powerhouse of the Xuanzhen Continent, he had suddenly become a cultivator at the Half-Celestial Stage in the Xuanhuang Continent. The gap was really big.
But fortunately, he had been lucky in the past few years. He met some Buddhists and even got some guidance from a Buddhist expert. He also received some inheritance. In just a few years, he successfully stepped into the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage from the Half-Celestial Stage. He was also a little famous around the Seven Heir Cities.
Usually, the shopkeeper would give face to Lord Zeng. But now, he was following the instructions of that young man. Naturally, he couldn't give face to Lord Zeng.
"Lord Zeng, I'm afraid you can't intervene in this matter. I also advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or you'll suffer!" The shopkeeper responded indifferently with a cold face.
"Oh? I wonder what my little friend has done to offend you? "Lord Zeng was stunned and asked again.
At the same time, he also looked at Xu Que curiously. He had already found that Xu Que's state was very strange, and he was very surprised.
This wasn't like the unruly kid from back then!
And in the past two or three years, he had been constantly seeing the Heavenly Tripod List in the Xuanhuang Continent. The Exploding Heavens Faction was not only famous in the Earth Continent, but also in the Xuanhuang Continent.
In addition, people from the Xuanhuang Continent often met people from the Earth Continent in some Mystery Land Trials. The news between the two continents was not blocked, so they got a lot of information about the Exploding Heavens Faction.
And in the past two years, the latest news that the Xuanhuang Continent had received was that the famous Dingtian Academy, the Equipment Refining Sect, and more than a dozen big forces had been completely destroyed by the Exploding Heavens Faction.
Now, the Earth Continent's Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm was dominated by the Litian Academy, and it was allied with several major forces. The most terrible thing was that these forces had all voluntarily become affiliated with the Exploding Heavens Faction. So, in the final analysis, except for the Zhen Yuan Daoist, the Earth Continent's Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm was the Exploding Heavens Faction's world.
The most important thing was that when Lord Zeng was in the Xuanzhen Continent, he knew Xu Que was a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction. So when he saw the news about the Exploding Heavens Faction, he knew Xu Que had come.
He didn't expect to meet Xu Que again under such circumstances.
"Hehe, Lord Zeng, let me be frank with you. This guy didn't offend me by following the girl, but Childe Ming!" The innkeeper smiled coldly and whispered to Lord Zeng.
Lord Zeng's face changed when he heard that.
Young Master Ming, the Ming Family, was a prestigious family in the Li Nation. More importantly, the Ming Family even produced a Holy Maiden, who was the favorite concubine of the current Emperor of the Li Nation.
Although Lord Zeng was a little famous in this small territory, he was far from being comparable to Childe Ming.
However, Lord Zeng had never taken himself seriously. Over the years in the Xuanhuang Continent, he had adjusted his mentality from being a big shot to a nobody.
The only thing he had confidence in now was Xu Que's identity, the Exploding Heavens Faction.
If Lord Zeng was far from being comparable to the Ming Family, then the entire Li Nation, or even more than half of the Xuanhuang Continent, was far from being comparable to a big force in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, let alone the Litian Academy. It wasn't even qualified to be compared to the Exploding Heavens Faction!
So now, Lord Zeng was considering whether he should reveal Xu Que's identity.
"Everyone, listen to me. This guy's background is not trivial. I advise you not to touch him before things get out of hand. Otherwise …" Lord Zeng paused slightly, and the hint was obvious.
However, when these words fell into the ears of the crowd, it was a big joke.
"Ha, ha, ha, Lord Zeng, are you making up a joke? What kind of background could a fool have? Could he be a relative of the royal family of the Li Nation? Or someone from another big country? "The innkeeper suddenly laughed.
"What if he's from the Exploding Heavens Faction?" Lord Zeng's face darkened as he asked calmly.
As soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned. The innkeeper opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a moment.
Then, a burst of laughter rang out.
"Ha, ha, ha, Lord Zeng, are you out of your mind?"
"The Exploding Heavens Faction? If you say this guy is the prince of the neighboring Jin Nation, we might doubt it. But you actually said this guy is from the Exploding Heavens Faction? "
"Isn't that a little too outrageous?"
Several guards present, as well as some cultivators who were watching the fun, shook their heads and laughed.
Although Lord Zeng was also a person of some status, and his words should have some weight, his words were too absurd. Of all the things he could have made up, he had to make up something about the Exploding Heavens Faction.
Nowadays, everyone knew how terrible the Exploding Heavens Faction was. Each of them could fight one hundred enemies. No, they were horrible geniuses who could kill enemies two stages above them.
Now, Lord Zeng said a fool was from the Exploding Heavens Faction. Who could believe it?
"He's really from the Exploding Heavens Faction!" At this time, Lin Yuxi's eyes lit up and she said.
Over the years, she had also heard a lot of rumors about the Exploding Heavens Faction. She remembered that when Xu Que was on Earth, he had called himself the Exploding Heavens Faction. Therefore, she had always thought that the reason why Xu Que was so outstanding was that he had joined the Exploding Heavens Faction.
But too many things had happened during this period, and she had just met Xu Que, so she had forgotten about it. Now that Lord Zeng mentioned it, Lin Yuxi realized that Xu Que was from the Exploding Heavens Faction.
"Ha, ha, ha, that's ridiculous!" The innkeeper also laughed and shook his head. "Do you know that if the people from the Exploding Heavens Faction heard this, you will all face a tragic end? Don't think that the Exploding Heavens Faction can talk nonsense like this in the Earth Continent. Also, don't take us for fools. If this kind of words can scare us, then you have underestimated us! "
"Oh, believe it or not, but today, I will protect this guy!" Lord Zeng sneered.
Looking at these people's attitudes, he knew it was useless to explain further. The Exploding Heavens Faction was too mysterious, and it was difficult to prove whether Xu Que was from the Exploding Heavens Faction. Therefore, he simply stopped talking and was ready to fight hard to rescue Xu Que.
After all, it was thanks to Xu Que that he could successfully ascend from the Xuanzhen Continent. It could be said that he owed Xu Que a big favor. People who practiced Buddhism paid attention to karma. Now it was time to pay back the karma.
"You want to protect him? Ha, ha, well, since Lord Zeng wants to die, we have no reason not to fulfill his wish! "After saying that, the innkeeper waved his hand.
Whoosh!
In an instant, several guards directly took out their magic artifacts and pinched their Magic Arts. Bright lights shone as they charged toward Lord Zeng.
These people were also in the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage. It was easy to imagine the situation when six of them besieged Lord Zeng.
In just a few rounds, Lord Zeng fell into a disadvantageous position.
However, the innkeeper didn't make a move. When he saw several guards restraining Lord Zeng, a sneer flashed across his face. He looked directly at Xu Que and Lin Yuxi and walked over.
"Despicable man, don't even think about touching him!" Lin Yuxi's face turned pale. She directly protected Xu Que behind her and looked nervously at the innkeeper who was approaching step by step.
"Ha, ha, little girl, you can't even protect yourself. Why are you still protecting a fool?" The innkeeper sneered.
Whoosh! Then, his figure turned into a shadow, and in the blink of an eye, he swept behind Lin Yuxi. He held his palm like a knife and directly chopped at Xu Que's head!
"No!" Lin Yuxi suddenly changed her expression and shouted in surprise.
But she could do nothing but worry. What could a cultivator in the Original Infant Stage do when facing a cultivator in the Human Celestial Stage in such a place?
Bam!
With a muffled sound, the innkeeper's palm fell heavily on the head of Xu Que.
Lin Yuxi's face instantly turned pale, and her eyes were full of despair and sorrow. She didn't expect that when she just met Xu Que, it would be such a situation.
"No, no …" Her body trembled, and she didn't even dare to look back. She couldn't accept the appearance of Xu Que's death.
But just at this moment, the innkeeper's horrified voice came from behind her, "How … how is this possible?"
Lin Yuxi was startled, and she turned around abruptly. But her face was full of astonishment.
The innkeeper's palm was still on Xu Que's head, but this guy was not only unscathed, but also stared at the innkeeper coldly.
To the innkeeper's surprise, Xu Que actually said expressionlessly, "The head can be chopped off, but the hairstyle must not be messed up!"
Bam!
Just as he finished speaking, Xu Que punched out. Puff! The whole fist instantly penetrated through the innkeeper's chest, and fresh blood was dripping out!
Instantly, the whole area was silent, not a single sound could be heard!
