Xu Que and Ryu Jingning kept a low profile when they left the area where many cultivators gathered, so they didn't attract too much attention.
In such a noisy place, it was quite normal for some cultivators to leave from time to time. Some of them went to the outside of the Celestial Burial Valley to see what was going on, while others decided to leave at the last minute.
However, when Xu Que left with a dog and Ryu Jingning, many people stared at him.
"What? The back of the guy who just left seems quite familiar! "A man frowned and murmured to himself as he stared at the back of Xu Que.
Someone at the side turned his head to take a look and was instantly moved. "Damn, I recognize him. He's the Lightning Thief!"
"Holy sh * t! No wonder he looks so familiar! I remember he took a dog with him when he ran away!"
"That's right! That dog's butt is bald! That's him!"
"The Lightning Thief has appeared! Let's chase him! We must kill this despicable guy!"
Many people recognized Xu Que immediately. They were all people who had been accidentally injured by lightning on their way here. They were extremely angry at this moment.
Fortunately, most of the people who came here with the big forces of the big families and sects didn't encounter Xu Que.
Those who had been struck by lightning were people Xu Que met after he left the Desolation City. Therefore, they didn't attract much attention. After all, most of the people who had been harmed by Xu Que were still in the Desolation City.
More than 100 people formed a revenge team. Filled with righteous indignation, they started to chase after Xu Que while shouting, "Kill the Lightning Thief!"
The cultivators who stayed here were confused and started to ask about the identity of the Lightning Thief.
The big shots of the big families and sects also paid attention to him. After knowing he was just a nobody who liked to stab people in the back, they lost interest in him. After all, the main purpose of this trip was to kill Jiang Hongyan!
Originally, Jiang Hongyan, a person at the peak of the Infant Transformation Stage, didn't deserve such a grand ceremony. However, Jiang Hongyan's identity and qualifications were too extraordinary.
The Jiang Family was afraid that Jiang Hongyan would go back and fight for power after she rose to power. The other families and sects were afraid that after Jiang Hongyan rose to power, the Jiang Family would become stronger and break the balance.
Both parties had the same goal. If they didn't see Jiang Hongyan dead, they wouldn't feel at ease.
Of course, the most important thing was that the circle of Saints and Saintesses had reached a consensus. Whoever could kill Jiang Hongyan with their own hands would be the number one Saint or Saintess in the Eastern Wilderness.
Therefore, all the big families and sects paid more attention to this matter. It seemed that they were here to kill Jiang Hongyan, but in fact, they were here to protect these honorable Holy Sons and Holy Virgins, and even to help them win the title of Eastern Barren Territory's number one!
"Jiang Hongyan was really good in the past. However, her magic arts were flawed, so she was destined to be the last one to laugh. I, Xiao Munan, will definitely kill her!" The Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect said coldly. His face was cold, but there was an overbearing aura around him.
As he spoke, some cultivators at the Golden Core Stage and the Yuan Ying Stage turned pale as if they were under great pressure.
The Holy Virgin of the Bai Family replied with a faint smile, "Holy Son Xiao, you are so powerful. However, I remember that you used to pursue Jiang Hongyan, but she turned you down. Now, your love has turned into hatred, right?"
Hearing that, everyone present was in an uproar.
The Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect used to pursue Jiang Hongyan? And she turned him down?
Holy sh * t! I didn't expect that the heroic Holy Son Xiao would have such a past!
The Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect's face darkened. Bai Lingrui was provoking him by exposing his past!
"Humph! It's inevitable that you will make mistakes when you are young. But you, Bai Lingrui, used to follow Jiang Hongyan and call her Sister Hongyan. You got a lot of elixirs from her. Why are you here now?" The Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect snorted and retorted sarcastically.
Everyone was shocked again. Bai Lingrui, who was so powerful, was just a little girl following Jiang Hongyan in those years?
She was the successor of the Azure Lotus Treasure Appraisal Skill! No one expected that she also had such a past! The little girl had become a Holy Virgin and was also here to kill Jiang Hongyan!
The Holy Virgin of the Bai Family also looked cold. But soon, her expression turned into an innocent and lovely smile. Like a little girl who hadn't grown up, she said sweetly, "As you said, I was just a little girl in those years. I didn't know anything about femme fatales. Now that I've grown up and become sensible, I naturally have to think for the East Continent. I can't let the East Continent become a place of misfortune!"
Hearing that, everyone nodded their heads.
Right! She was just a little girl in those years. How could she know so much?
However, some people were sneering. People like Bai Lingrui were not simple at all. She looked innocent, but she was actually vicious and scheming!
"Is it fun for you to fight each other like this?" At this time, an unscrupulous laughter came from the crowd. A white-robed man was leaning against a tree with a blade of grass in his mouth. His face was full of sarcasm.
Xiao Munan and Bai Lingrui were furious at the same time. "Huang Zaitian, are you courting death? Come here and fight with me! "
Huang Zaitian?
Everyone in the area was shocked.
This unruly white-robed young man turned out to be Huang Zaitian, the Protector of the Carefree Building!
Many people became serious. The Carefree Building was not a big force in the East Continent, but none of the big forces could afford to offend it.
That was because the Carefree Building was founded by a group of talented geniuses. In any family, these geniuses could become Holy Sons or Holy Virgins. However, they gathered together and founded the Carefree Building.
The big forces couldn't afford to offend them because they were afraid of the future of the Carefree Building. Even though they didn't have powerhouses at the Form Synthesis Stage now, once these Holy Sons and Holy Virgins reached the Form Synthesis Stage in the future, they would be a formidable force!
If they had been discovered earlier, they would have been killed. However, now these people were all at the Void Training Stage. It would be difficult to kill them.
This white-robed young man, Huang Zaitian, was only a Protector of the Carefree Building. It was said that his strength was comparable to that of Xiao Munan and the others. He was also an outstanding Holy Son of this generation.
"Hah-hah, I don't have time to play with you. The main reason is that you've caused a great commotion when you besieged Jiang Hongyan. Our building head couldn't sit still anymore and came here. So we had no choice but to follow you here!" Huang Zaitian said helplessly.
"What? Dong Genji is here?"
Many people in the area were shocked. Even the old powerhouses of the big families and sects darkened their faces.
Dong Genji was a name that many people were afraid of. Even some Holy Sons and Holy Virgins were afraid of hearing this name.
He was the Building Head of the Carefree Building and the core of Huang Zaitian's group. Although his cultivation was also at Level 9 of the Void Training Stage, it was said that he had fought against eight Holy Sons at the same cultivation stage without being defeated. He had even seriously injured three of the Holy Sons.
More importantly, Dong Genji was very cruel. He looked like a gentleman who could talk and laugh with anyone. However, there was a dagger hidden in his smile.
"Hah-hah, the hypocrite Building Head Dong is also here? Why doesn't he show his face? "At this time, a hearty laugh came. It was Xiao Taixuan, the Holy Son of the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect.
Hearing this, the whole area fell silent.
Huang Zaitian looked at Xiao Taixuan with a cold smile on his face.
The rest of the people were also shocked. Many people knew that Dong Genji was a hypocrite. However, only a few people dared to say that out loud. Xiao Taixuan was one of them.
"Xiao Taixuan, don't you hold a grudge? Our Building Head just beat you up in the trial. Is it necessary to slander him in public? Are you a sore loser? "Huang Zaitian said with a cold smile.
"Heh, heh, he beat me up. Didn't I also destroy his magic treasure? Why doesn't he show up now? Is he still thinking about Jiang Hongyan? Is he going to look for her? "Xiao Taixuan said sarcastically.
Dong Genji is thinking about Jiang Hongyan?
Most people in the area were shocked and confused.
However, some people knew that Jiang Hongyan was the top genius among her peers, and Dong Genji was the second. He was the only peerless genius who was slightly behind Jiang Hongyan. Moreover, Dong Genji liked Jiang Hongyan and had pursued her, but he had never succeeded.
Clap! Clap!
At this time, Huang Zaitian slowly stood up from the tree and clapped his hands. Ignoring the elders of the big sects in the area, he said coldly, "Our Building Head did go to look for Jiang Hongyan. I'm here to tell you that you can stop Jiang Hongyan from crossing the Heavenly Tribulation. You can also destroy her cultivation. However, whoever kills her will be the enemy of the Carefree Building!"
Gasp!
Hearing this, the people in the area gasped immediately.
Dong Genji is really cruel!
