Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I am Xue Zhi Qian of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
“I am Nicolas Murong Buttface of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
…
At last, there were eleven figures standing in the entrance of the assembly hall: Xu Que’s ten doppelgängers and his Thunder Illusion Body.
Many of these figures that appeared were legendary figures, such as Hua Wu Que and Li Bai. These figures were accompanied by the rest of the elites. Some of the elites had eccentric names, like Xue Zhi Qian and Wu Wu Kai.
However, only Xu Que’s Thunder Illusion Body had a face which resembled a distinct person. This resemblance was that of “Hu Ge.” The rest of the ten doppelgängers were all wearing masks and black robes decorated with red clouds. They all looked very mysterious and a bit creepy as well.
All the people present could sense that these figures were all in the Infant Transformation Stage. Having these figures enter the assembly hall was like seeing Gods descending upon Earth.
No one dared to make a sound. Everyone was frightened and stood still, especially the disciples of the Great Change Sect.
“My god!”
“They are the elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction and they are all in the Infant Transformation Stage?!”
“I thought Hua Wu Que, Li Bai and the rest of these legendary figures were only in the Original Infant Stage!”
“They all stepped into the Infant Transformation Stage in just a few months?!”
…
The disciples of the Great Change Sect were all astonished. Despite their shock, they were all excited to meet these legendary figures who had come to help them. The disciples of the Great Change Sect felt extremely proud to be allied with the Exploding Heavens Faction.
Conversely, Zhang Dan Shan and the eight elders of the Celestial Sect were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Zhang Dan Shan was especially terrified. He never thought that there could be so many people in the Exploding Heavens Faction who were all in the Infant Transformation Stage.
Although they were just in the third level of the Infant Transformation Stage, Zhang Dan Shan knew how much strength they possessed. He had heard the story of Xu Que killing the Fire Emperor and how the Fire Emperor was in the Infant Transformation Stage while Xu Que was just in the Original Infant Stage.
For the past year, Zhang Dan Shan had not been afraid of the Exploding Heavens Faction at all. This was because he lived on the outskirts of the Fire Nation and because Xiao Yan had remained absent. But now that he was seeing the elite of the Exploding Heavens Faction with his own two eyes, he was extremely frightened.
Su Yun Lan was also stunned. She stood still and stared at the figures. She felt like she had seen these figures before. In fact, when she heard the first figure say the phrase “Exploding Heavens Faction,” she instantly knew that Xiao Yan must have come back. She felt rather disappointed when she realized that she had not heard his name.
Has he not come back? No, he must have come back. Otherwise, how would the elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction have known to come here?
At this time, the people in the assembly hall overheard some Great Change Sect disciples discussing something.
“Where is Hero Xiao Yan?” one of the disciples outside the assembly hall asked.
“Where is he? He said he would inform the elites and come back immediately. Where on earth is he?”
“Could it be possible that he went to find Hero Xu Que?”
“That’s probably it. After all, Hero Xu Que has not arrived yet.”
…
“Xiao Yan? He came back?!” Su Yun Lan exclaimed.
Zhang Dan Shan felt both resentful and terrified when he heard the name “Xu Que.”
Xu Que had destroyed more than half of the Celestial Sect a year ago. Since then, many disciples and presbyters had left the faction. Zhang Dan Shan had made great efforts to rebuild the Celestial Sect, but he only managed to convince a few presbyters to come back. The Celestial Sect had significantly fewer disciples now.
Nowadays, whenever the name “Xu Que” was mentioned, people always remembered the man who killed the Fire Emperor and who destroyed the Celestial Sect when he was only in the Golden Core Stage. Ever since Xu Que trashed The Celestial Sect, the faction had become a laughing stock. Because of this, few people had the desire to join the Celestial Sect.
Although Zhang Dan Shan resented Xu Que, he would not dare to fight against Xu Que unless he was one hundred percent sure that he could win. After all, everyone in the Fire Nation knew how powerful Xu Que was and no one dared to make him mad.
“Wow, I never thought there would be so many people gathering here today,” said Hua Wu Que. He walked forward out of the black-robed group. He was holding a fan in his hand, which made him look very gentleman-like. Suddenly, he became agitated.
“Where is the crap Zhang Dan Shan?!” he said. “Aren’t you going to tell me to come out to meet your leader!”
“How dare you!” Zhang Dan Shan said. He could not hold back his anger. He was furious at being disrespected like this in front of everyone. “Who do you think you are! You are just in the first level of the Infant Transformation Stage. How dare you talk to me like this?!”
All ten doppelgängers had the same Qi and strength as Xu Que did. As for the Thunder Illusion Body, it only had seventy percent of Xu Que’s strength. This was why people sensed that “Hua Wu Que” was only in the first level of the Infant Transformation Stage.
At this point in time, Xu Que and Buttface were heading to the assembly hall. Xu Que had been using his Soul Strength to control his doppelgängers. He was quite enjoying messing with everyone in the assembly hall.
The Thunder Illusion Body sneered and looked at Zhang Dan Shan coldly. “Who do you think you are?! Our leader easily destroyed your faction when he was just in the Golden Core Stage. How dare you bark here, you oily dog?!”
Everyone was frightened by the Thunder Illusion Body and the ten doppelgängers. When the Thunder Illusion Body began to speak in such a cold manner, they felt even more scared.
“My god! Hero Xu Que is the leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
The disciples of the Great Change Sect were surprised. They had always wondered who the leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction was. They had never thought that Xu Que could have been the leader.
“How dare you!” Zhang Dan Shan shouted angrily. “Xu Que fled away from the Celestial Sect like a dog! If I had not let him go, he would already be a dead man.”
Suddenly, a ray of black light flew across the sky, penetrated the clouds, and landed in the open space outside of the assembly hall. Everyone turned around and saw the smiling Xu Que and his scary-looking, big dog.
“Zhang Dan Shan,” Xu Que addressed, “I thought an old booby like you would have already been dead by now. I should have killed you when I had the chance. I was being too kind to you!” Xu Que sneered, walking slowly over to him.
Su Yun Lan and all the disciples of the Great Change Sect were stunned.
What’s going on?!
Isn’t he Hero Xiao Yan? What does he have to do with Zhang Dan Shan and the Celestial Sect? Wasn’t it Xu Que who destroyed the Celestial Sect?
With one synchronized motion, all ten doppelgängers and the Thunder Illusion Body turned around and put their hands in front of their chests, bowing to Xu Que.
“Welcome, leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!” they said in unison. Their voices echoed through the assembly hall.
