RUMBLE!

　　The cultivators listening to Xu Que were terrified and started shuffling and clearing their throats as they looked at each other in shock.

　　If Xu Que had just mentioned the name Xuanyuan Wanrong, most people would not have recognized it because it belonged to a distant era. The only people who would have known this name were those who read ancient records or who had knowledge about the Heaven Palace Sect’s affairs.

　　But Xu Que had added a title to the name, and he had stated that Xuanyuan Wanrong had been the head of the Heaven Palace Sect’s South Building.

　　When everyone heard this, even people who didn’t know about Xuanyuan Wanrong couldn’t keep calm.

　　In the past, the Heaven Palace Sect had been the Heaven Continent’s unrivaled overlord, even loftier than the current Heaven Palace Academy. A Heaven Palace Sect’s building head would have to be someone at the very least at the Celestial Prime Stage. This person would possess terrific power.

　　And now suddenly, Xu Que’s father had unexpectedly stated that Xuanyuan Wanrong was his daughter-in-law. “Hadn’t he done so?”

　　“D*mn! How could this be possible, considering their ages?”

　　“How is it possible that your son was able to marry a woman from tens of thousands of years ago who was at the Celestial Prime Stage?”

　　Moreover, the Heaven Palace Sect had declined, and even if that woman was super strong, it wouldn’t be possible for her to have survived up to this day.

　　“You shouldn’t look so shocked, as if you have never seen what goes on in the world. What I have just said is true. Xuanyuan Wanrong is really my daughter-in-law. My son will soon arrive in the Heaven Continent, and, at that time, you will believe me once you see how handsome he looks. In this world, there isn’t anything that my son’s beauty can’t solve.” Xu Que wore a prideful look and spoke confidently to the innumerable cultivators.

　　Every single person in the crowd started frowning thunderously. In their world, the most unreliable asset was none other than beauty.

　　“Moreover, the solemn Heaven Palace Sect’s building head was a Celestial Prime, so how could she choose a mate by his appearance?”

　　“F*ck! Kiddo, you have become even more shameless,” Duan Jiude shook his head and spoke.

　　Buttface cast a disdainful glance at Duan Jiude. “How ignorant you are! This lad’s shamelessness isn’t anything new. Why are you still sighing with sorrow about it?”

　　“I’m sighing with sorrow because I didn’t expect that human shamelessness could descend so low. It’s like he doesn’t even have a bottom line,” Duan Jiude spoke helplessly.

　　“I feel like this bottomlessness is a type of bottom line. At least, he’s an open and straightforward shameless lad,” Liu Jingning pursed her lips and chuckled. In the distant past, she had been attracted by Xu Que’s shamelessness. It was plastered on his face, as if he wanted everyone to know his true character.

　　Later, she gradually discovered that this guy was quite interesting and had many different facets to his personality. She ended up getting used to him, and he became a very important person to her.

　　“I agree and feel like Second Madam. Xu Que is an open and straightforward scoundrel, and he’s true to himself. He’s much better than all the hypocritical gentlemen in the world. After all, it isn’t everyone who can become an upright gentleman such as me,” Buttface spoke in approval of Liu Jingning’s opinion.

　　Duan Jiude, Liu Jingning, as well as Mo Junchen, looked at Buttface’s sincere face and shook their heads. “He, he, you are so naive!”

　　…..

　　In the end, Xu Que’s group left the ancient city and proceeded toward Tianxiang City. They had left many dumbfounded cultivators behind.

　　No one believed Xu Que’s claim. No one believed that a several 10,000-year-old big shot would become his daughter-in-law.

　　However, they were also flabbergasted because Xu Que had admitted that he was the one who had stolen the Snow Fog Palace.

　　Then, after several days had elapsed, this piece of news spread.

　　When the Heaven Palace Academy members heard of it, their faces turned pale, and they nearly cried out of anger.

　　The Deputy Dean’s war declaration against the three great families hadn’t been settled, yet he unexpectedly went to provoke the Sage Sect once again.

　　“Everyone was trying to help you settle this affair, and even the Sage Sect dispatched people to help. So, why didn’t you attempt to resolve this issue?”

　　“Why do you want to disgrace everyone?”

　　“Shouldn’t you care a little about the Sage Sect’s honor?”

　　Sure enough! After several days had passed, a Deputy Dean of the Sage Sect sent a message to Xu Que. It said, “Mr. Elder Xu, I hope that you will take a trip to our Sage Sect to explain this matter. I hope that you can provide a clear explanation of everything.”

　　On the same day that the Deputy Dean of the Sage Sect sent this message, Xu Que heard news about this matter, and, before he stepped into a Teleportation Device, he replied forcefully, “What the h*ll should I explain? You have occupied by force my daughter-in-law’s palace for so many years, and I haven’t even taken any rent money for it, yet you still have the nerve to want to talk to me? I hope that you won’t be so shameless and quickly provide me with an explanation. Moreover, if you don’t want to do this, just come to the Heaven Palace Academy at a later date and fight with me.”

　　When this message spread to the Ziwei Celestial Realm, tears streaked down the faces of innumerable Heaven Palace Academy’s disciples. “Great celestials are fighting, and we can’t afford to offend anyone. Deputy Dean Xu, please let us off the hook and go to fight elsewhere.”

　　After two days had passed, Xu Que reached Tianxiang City, and after he came out of the Teleportation Device, he replied uprightly, “Academy’s disciples, don’t be afraid! I will stay with you, and I will fight the enemies along with you.”

　　At this moment, the whole world descended into silence.

　　Everyone suddenly understood a certain matter. The most shameless person in the Heaven Continent was Xu Que’s father.

　　During this period, the Jade Lake had gotten a lot of shocking news one after the other, and many female disciples including Bai Cailing couldn’t help but realize what they had suspected for a long time.

　　When Xu Que was listed as a wanted criminal, they didn’t dare to come out to help him because they possessed low power and weren’t on a par with even the Divine Farmer Clan. So how could they try to fight against the Heaven Palace Academy?

　　Then, after several days had passed, news came from the Ziwei Celestial Realm that Xu Que’s father had become the Heaven Palace Academy’s Deputy Dean. He quickly showed off his might and spread his fame throughout the whole Heaven Continent.

　　Such a matter was obviously good news to the Jade Lake.

　　But what no one had expected was that on the way to Tianxiang City, Xu Que started stirring up trouble once again, and he had unexpectedly insulted the Sage Sect. He had admitted of his own accord that he had stolen… No that wasn’t right, he admitted that he had taken the Snow Fog Palace and severed the source of the Snow Fog Mountain’s Holy Water River. He had challenged the Sage Sect openly!

　　Xu Que had ended up offending the Sage Sect in a spectacular manner, and thus he had offended one of the Ziwei Celestial Realm’s greatest ruling factions. Even if the Sage Sect didn’t want to challenge Xu Que, this wasn’t any longer possible, as if they didn’t do anything their sect would become a laughingstock.

　　The Jade Lake members became hesitant again. They wondered whether they should risk offending the Sage Sect and continue trying to get close to Xu Que.

　　In the end, Bai Cailing defied all the people opposing her decision and took a team with her to welcome Xu Que when he came out of Tianxiang City’s Teleportation Device.

　　The reason behind this was that since the beginning, she couldn’t see through Xu Que’s father. Every time he did something shocking, he would come out safe and sound and turn the tide.

　　In the past, he had killed the Divine Farmer Clan’s Yi Zhong and Yi Dan, but what was the outcome? The Divine Farmer Clan’s guardians paid 200 Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines in compensation in order to be able to leave.

　　When Xu Que scolded the Heaven Palace Academy in front of everyone, what was the outcome? He became the Heaven Palace Academy’s Deputy Dean.

　　And now, Xu Que had confronted the Sage Sect forcefully, and the outcome was easily imaginable.

　　“How weak was a person who could kill even a Daluo Genuine Celestial?”

　　“How weak was a person who dared to act so brashly?”

　　If this person didn’t possess great power, would he dare to do so? This was impossible, as the only people in the world who were so daring were either people with great power or people who were insane.

　　Bai Cailing believed in the former. She believed that Xu Que’s father was a person with unfathomable power.

　　“Elder Xu has already reached Tianxiang City, we must go over there to welcome him. Even if we have to offend the Sage Sect, we must still do so.”

　　Bai Cailing stood next to the Jade Lake’s great gate and was looking at more than ten deacons. She looked very serious and she said, “Putting aside whether you believe that Elder Xu is a Celestial King or some higher being, if we manage to revive the Peach Garden it wouldn’t be impossible for us to overtake the Sage Sect. You shouldn’t forget that innumerable years ago, our Jade Lake was one of the Heaven Continent’s overlords.”

　　As her voice echoed out, she waved her hand and her feet stepped on a pink light beam. The light beam shot into the sky and turned into a radiant arch bridge.

　　The Jade Lake disciples strode forward and followed Bai Cailing. The bridge flew into the distance and disappeared in the twinkling of an eye.

　　Meanwhile, in a region next to the Teleportation Device in the center of Tianxiang City, Xu Que had arrived.

　　He had already responded to the outside world’s news and was about to leave along with Buttface, Duan Jiude, and their companions. He wanted to visit the Jade Lake!

　　After all, since he had already come here, he mustn’t rob the Divine Farmer Clan without going to greet the Jade Lake’s people. Such actions didn’t conform to the Exploding Heavens Faction’s etiquette.

　　But before Xu Que had started on his journey, a dazzling rainbow-colored light appeared suddenly in the sky, and some people descended.

　　It was 100 female disciples of the Jade Lake, led by Bai Cailing and many deacons.

　　This group landed in front of Xu Que’s group, and they saluted him, before they shouted at the same time, “We welcome respectfully Elder Xu’s return.”

　　The crowd that was milling around the area was startled, and they all wore astounded expressions.

　　“Weren’t the Jade Lake afraid of offending the Sage Sect?”

　　Xu Que also wore an astounded look, but he quickly came to his senses and smiled. He sighed with emotion and said, “My good daughter-in-law, my good daughter-in-law. You are really considerate, and I feel quite gratified. Tonight, we must drink until we get drunk.”

　　Upon hearing this, Bai Cailing smiled knowingly.

　　As for all the people watching this exchange, they looked at the same time envious and pained. Everyone was already aware that Bai Cailing was the daughter-in-law of Xu Que’s father, and even the Jade Lake didn’t deny such a matter.

　　As the people were pondering this, they realized that Xu Que’s daughters-in-law were all outstanding.

　　It was first the Jade Lake Saint, followed by the Happiness Faction’s Liu Jingning. Then there was the Heaven Palace Academy’s Heavenly Kismet Body, Jiang Hongyan, as well as the Heaven Palace Sect’s South Building Head, Xuanyuan Wanrong, who had lived tens of thousands of years ago.

　　“Why did this Xu take everything good for itself? He already had such a great team of daughters-in-law. Wasn’t it too outrageous?

　　“Why don’t you add several more daughters-in-law? If you add several more women, our jealousy will become so intense that it might be able to split open walls!”

　　On this night, many single cultivators sat in front of windows with their heads buried in their shivering arms, with tears streaking down their cheeks.
