Chapter 627: Infighting

The atmosphere in the area outside the Celestial Burial Valley was quite solemn, even creepy, as if a great fight was about to break out!

“Liu, you killed my son twenty years ago,” a voice full of hatred said. “Don’t get the idea that nobody knows your crime! Today, I will avenge my son!”

After that, an old man hit the back of another white-haired old man who was in front of him with his palm abruptly.

Bang!

The white-haired old man was blown off immediately and started to spit blood.

He had already been seriously wounded. The sneak attack by another cultivator who was at his cultivation stage gave him no time to defend himself. More importantly, the two of them were from the same sect. The white-haired old man didn’t expect to be attacked by his teammate.

The white-haired old man was blown away for dozens of meters before he fell heavily to the ground. Then, with a sad smile, he said, “I killed your son, but your son killed my son before that…” After saying that, he died.

Apparently, the old man had been prepared to attack for a long time. When he had found a chance, he just lashed out with his kill action.

This sudden incident made the situation tenser. A bloody fight seemed very close.

“Hmph! Wang Fufeng, step out and let’s have a fight!” a powerhouse at the Void Training Stage shouted.

“Li Zhengyun, here I am! I’ve been repelling you for a long time!” A figure rushed out instantly.

The two of them started to fight each other immediately.

Their fight lit the fuse. The powerhouses harboring personal animosity started to attack their enemies.

Before this, their enemies were at peak states and similar cultivation stages with them. They were not sure they could defeat their enemies.

But now all of them had been wounded to different degrees. It was a good chance for them to seek revenge. Also, they could win places of treatment by defeating their opponents, and then they could search for fortune and opportunities in the Ancient Bronze Hall.

Even some Holy Sons and Holy Virgins couldn’t hold back and participated in the fighting.

All at once, the situation fell into chaos.

However, some people didn’t participate and stepped back immediately.

People like Xiao Taixuan and Qin Ji disdained to attack the wounded opponents, even when they themselves were also wounded.

Also, some people figured this was a trap set up by Xu Que to cause infighting among them through the places of treatment.

Some Holy Sons and Holy Virgins who were honorable didn’t want to be used by Xu Que and chose to leave.

Xiao Taixuan glanced at Xu Que from afar and said in a low voice, “I hope we can fight in the future!”

After saying that, he turned around and left for the Ancient Bronze Hall!

Xiao Munan, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect, glanced at Xu Que indifferently. “When you reach the Void Training Stage, I also want to fight with you! Don’t let me down!”

Qin Ji of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect stopped paying attention to Xu Que. After talking with Han Ying of the Heaven Secret Pavilion outside the fighting area, she also left for the Ancient Bronze Hall with people from the Heaven Secret Pavilion.

Even though they were wounded, they still wanted to strive for fortune and opportunities in the Ancient Bronze Hall.

Xu Que was also quite anxious when he saw some people giving up on securing treatment places and started to dash toward the Ancient Bronze Hall. He felt he couldn’t waste time here anymore.

After all, fortune and opportunity were related to luck and speed. If he was late, he would get nothing, no matter how lucky he was!

At the thought of this, Xu Que chose to ignore those who were fighting for the treatment places. He walked toward Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning and prepared to take them away.

Liu Jingning couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she saw Xu Que approaching them. “Little brat, you are really too mean! You drove them nuts!”

This was not the first time she’d witnessed Xu Que cheat others. However, Xu Que was the first person she’d seen repeatedly dare cheat the powerhouses at the Void Training Stage.

“I should keep a low profile, but I also want to let the world know that people who offend me will always pay a price!” Xu Que spoke with a smile, but his statement was not a joke. Being merciful in this jungle-like world was cruelty to oneself!

After that, he turned to Jiang Hongyan and prepared to ask her to leave with him for the Ancient Bronze Hall.

However, Xu Que was stunned into silence before he had time to say anything.

Jiang Hongyan opened her eyes and stared at the Ancient Bronze Hall in a daze as if she were deeply attracted by it!

This was the most attentive Jiang Hongyan had ever appeared in front of Xu Que, which caught his attention.

It was just an Ancient Bronze Hall. No matter how extraordinary it was, there was no way it could startle the Water Empress, who was always so calm!

Liu Jingning also noticed Jiang Hongyan had woken up, and her first reaction was to ask, “Hongyan, is your wound healed?”

After saying that, Liu Jingning also felt surprised—this was the first time she had seen Jiang Hongyan in such an inattentive state.

After coming to herself, Jiang Hongyan looked a bit puzzled. Then, she shook her head slightly and said, “It’s quite strange how close I feel to the Ancient Bronze Hall. It seems to be calling me!”

“What? You feel close to that ancient hall?” Xu Que’s eyes widened immediately.

When that Ancient Bronze Hall appeared, he’d felt a strong uneasiness immediately. The other cultivators, including Liu Jingning, had similar feelings.

Jiang Hongyan said she felt close to the hall, which was quite creepy.

“I want to go there and have a look!” Jiang Hongyan stood without saying anything else.

It seemed her wounds had almost been healed. Now she had reached the Void Training Stage, which made her even more powerful and elegant. Her calm and mighty aura was also more intense.

“Okay, I’ll go with you!”

Xu Que didn’t reject her proposal. After all, he’d planned to go there together with Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning. Therefore, he agreed by nodding his head instantly.

The fight among the big families and sects was heating up. All the cultivators participating in the fight had been seriously wounded before, so many of them died during this fight at a startling speed!

Before this fight, there were over 200 powerhouses at the Void Training Stage. Dozens of them had left because they didn’t want to participate in the fight. Now over half of the remaining cultivators had been killed. Only a little over thirty cultivators survived the fight.

They were covered with blood. Their wounds were much more serious than before.

However, it was astonishing that none of the Carefree Building’s geniuses, led by Dong Genji, were killed.

The survivors had almost reached their limits and couldn’t stand further wounds.

But they tried their best to keep standing. Over thirty people left meant fifteen cultivators could win treatment places by killing one opponent respectively.

Once they healed their wounds, they could strive for the fortunes and opportunities in the Ancient Bronze Hall and became the ultimate winners.

Xu Que cleared his throat and spoke to the survivors with folded hands. “Guys, stop fighting. I can’t watch this anymore. It’s too cruel and ruthless. I decided to add five more places for treatment. So, there are altogether twenty places! One million best-grade Spirit Stones for one person—the one who pays first will get the treatment place first!”

His words stunned the survivors.

After that, Jiang Yushu threw out a storage ring with rapidly-waving hands. Then, he loudly said, “My young friend, this is 4,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones. The Jiang Family needs four places.”

Puff!

“Jiang Yushu, you’re really shameless. Your quick reaction and greed impress me!” the Elder of the Gong Family spat immediately. After that, he turned to Xu Que and also threw a storage ring. Then, he smiled and folded his hands. “My young friend, the Gong Family needs five places. This is 6,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones. Please accept the remaining 1,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones as my compensation for your loss!”

Compensation for his loss?

Hearing his words, Jiang Yushu and the other cultivators couldn’t stop their faces from twitching.

Damn! You’re so good at kissing *ss. How could you possibly condemn others’ shamelessness?

Dong Genji couldn’t help but say, “Brother Wang, the rule of ‘first come, first served’ should be respected. Just now I gave you 5,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones. The Carefree Building shall enjoy the treatment first. I want to be punched first!”

“Okay, okay! No problem!” Xu Que said and nodded generously. He threw the storage rings received from these families and sects directly into the System Package without even checking them.

After that, Xu Que smiled and folded his hands. “Guys, now all the places have been taken. Please stop stating prices. It is useless to mark up again. The Exploding Heavens Faction always cherishes its reputation in business.”

Hearing that, Jiang Yushu and Dong Genji calmed down. What they needed urgently now was to heal their wounds, and they didn’t want to waste time with bidding!

After hearing Xu Que’s promise that he would proceed according to the rules of “first come, first served”, they nodded in satisfaction. And their ill-feelings and hatred for Xu Que also lessened slightly.

After all, this young man respects the rules. He would be quite a good business partner if he hadn’t offended us so seriously before!

However, just at this time, Xu Que ignited the Divine Escape Spell and solemnly said, “A great friend afar brings a distant land near. My fellow cultivators, I have received your Spirit Stones, so I will definitely heal your wounds. In one year, I’ll see you in the Andrology Prostate Hospital of the Exploding Heavens Faction. I am sure your illnesses will be cured. Now I have something urgent to deal with. May our friendships remain forever like the green mountains and the ever-flowing rivers. Farewell!”

Whoosh! After saying that, Xu Que disappeared with Jiang Hongyan, Liu Jingning, and Buttface!
