Chapter 1237: You Should Start Managing These People
Bang!
Mo Junchen covered his knees in agony, half-squatting on the ground, he gasped in pain. This is too painful! Buttface's foot was originally directed at Mo Junchen's face, but then he suddenly remembered that Mo Junchen was an ace in the Golden Celestial Stage. So he became hesitant and nervous and tried to retract his kick, but it was too late. His foot eventually landed on Mo Junchen's knee. Other than the sharp pain, Mo Junchen had begun to wonder what was going on.
What's wrong today? He was beaten up whenever he informed others that he was the Sect Leader of the Equipment Refining Sect. Why was this so offensive? The key was even if he was wounded by Xu Que, it was still reasonable, after all that young man had the Mighty Body. But now even a dog was so fit and tough that a first-rate Hell King's Prison Suppression Physique's knee was swollen from its kick. Who could explain to him what was going on? A first-rate Hell King's Prison Suppression Physique, how could it be so weak?
"Uh!" Just then, Buttface had already landed on the ground and was dumbfounded. Obviously, he didn't expect that his kick would land so successfully. But Buttface soon regained his arrogant and aggressive look, and raised his head and shouted, "You're the Sect Leader of the Equipment Refining Sect. The Equipment Refining Sect is atrocious. How dare you disrespect the Exploding Heavens Faction. Today, Your Holiness jumped up and kicked your knee; do you concede your defeat?"
"..." Mo Junchen was speechless. In fact, if Buttface had really attacked his face, he could still have avoided it since Buttface's speed wasn't comparable to Xu Que's. But that idiot had suddenly retracted his attack, and it led Mo Junchen to think that it was a joke. Thus, he didn't react in time. But who would expect that the idiot wouldn't manage to withdraw his attack in time and kick him on his knee; it was simply a bloody misfortune.
"Humph, remember, Your Holiness is the Vice Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction. If you refuse to concede defeat, you may take revenge on our Faction Leader, Xu Que!" Buttface made another fierce remark and then hid behind Xu Que.
Xu Que rolled his eyes, and he pulled Buttface over. He stared at him and said, "You little idiot, if I don't lecture you for one day, you'll wreak havoc the next day? He's the Sect Leader of the Equipment Refining Sect thousands of years ago. He has nothing to do with the current Equipment Refining Sect. Besides, he's on our side. How could you beat him without clarification? Where are the principles, rules, and regulations?"
"Ouch, d*mn it, let go of Your Holiness! Don't embarrass Your Holiness!" Buttface struggled. He knew that his dignity was more important than principle in that circumstance. However, Mo Junchen wasn't happy at all when he heard Xu Que's lecture to Buttface. Buttface attacked before figuring things out. Hadn't Xu Que done the same before?
"Younger Brother Mo...bah, Elder Brother Mo, I'm really sorry, my pet is too arrogant!" Just then, Xu Que turned to Mo Junchen and smiled shiftily.
"There's no harm, it doesn't matter!" Mo Junchen waved his hand and laughed. He was smiling on the surface but he was cursing and swearing inside his head. He felt that he had misjudged Xu Que. The dude wasn't a decent and respectable man! But what he said was true. Although his knee was swollen by the kick, it was indeed a trivial matter for a great power of his rank. In the blink of an eye, he could recover with the use of his Celestial Core Power. It didn't bother him at all.
"All right, stop your nonsense. We really have to leave now!" Just then, Duan Jiude urged all of them, and he ended the farce.
However, Qin Sanli and the others were already full of apprehension about Mo Junchen's identity. Xu Que had just introduced him as the Sect Leader of the Equipment Refining Sect thousands of years ago. It had given Qin Sanli a very bad scare. He now suddenly recalled that when he was young, he did hear the name of Mo Junchen, the Sect Leader of the Equipment Refining Sect. He was the strongest among his generation, and he had great prestige in the Six Major Celestial Realms of the Earth Continent. He even had a good chance of becoming the ruler of one of the Six Major Celestial Realms, but he disappeared all of a sudden, and there was no more news of him.
Unexpectedly, that powerful man had been hiding in the God of Hell's Realm for thousands of years, and now he had become even more powerful. According to rumors in the past, this great man was an upright person. Coupled with how Mo Junchen and Xu Que addressed each other, Qin Sanli knew that the conflict between the Equipment Refining Sect and the Exploding Heavens Faction should be able to come to an end!
.....
At the same time, at the exit of the God of Hell's Realm, there were more than ten aces from the Equipment Refining Sect who were keeping a close watch. The three King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact were spotted with cold expressions. They sat cross-legged among the clouds with their eyes closed as they rested.
Bang!
Just then, at the exit of the Mystery Land, there was a burst of muffled noise, the Void slightly twisted, the exit began to slowly wriggle and shrink in size—the exit was sealing up. The three King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact opened their eyes and had cold smiles.
"The exit is finally sealing up. I don't believe they're not coming out!"
"Ha, ha, even if they don't come out, they can't survive the razor-blade wind of the Void for 100 years. Of course, even if they survive by chance, they won't escape after 100 years!"
"Now that the Sect Leader is in Secluded Meditation, all affairs and power are in the hands of the Deputy Sect Leader, and the Deputy Sect Leader is the cousin of King Equipment Refiner Liu. If we help King Equipment Refiner Liu solve this problem, we'll certainly benefit a lot from it in the future!"
At the mention of that, the three men landed on the ground and stood directly at the exit of the Mystery Land. In their opinions, Xu Que and the others certainly wouldn't hide in the Mystery Land for 100 years. Even an ace in the Golden Celestial Stage wouldn't want to go head to head with the power of the razor-blade wind of the Void, not to mention those who were merely in the Human Celestial Stage! Hence, they were waiting for Xu Que and the others to exit from the Mystery Land. They would kill Xu Que and take him to King Equipment Refiner Liu.
"All of you check if the Void around here has been sealed. That dude has some special Amulet that can penetrate the Void. This time we mustn't let him escape!" A King Refiner of the Inferior Artifact turned and looked at his subordinates.
"Reporting back to King Equipment Refiner Yuan, the Void has been sealed and they have no way to escape!" A cultivator in the Earth Celestial Stage sneered.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, there was a stir at the exit of the Mystery Land. Everyone's attention was on it instantly, and several figures stepped out from the exit of the Mystery Land at the same time. It was Xu Que and his people.
"Attack!" A King Refiner of the Inferior Artifact was decisive and he shouted. Subsequently, the aces from the Equipment Refining Sect activated their Magic Arts one after another to prepare for the attack, so as not to give Xu Que the chance to fight back!
"Stop!" Just then, a majestic voice sounded with an imposing and awe-inspiring aura. At the same time, a dreadful tension pervaded the scene.
"Gold...an ace in the peak of the Golden Celestial Stage?" Everyone's expressions drastically changed, and they exclaimed in surprise. Such a strong presence, in the whole of the Earth Continent, with the exception of the rulers of the Six Major Celestial Realms, could be counted on the fingers of one hand! The three King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact were also incredibly surprised. Although they were King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact, they were only the weakest among them. They were only in the Initial Stage of the Golden Celestial Stage. It was impossible for them to advance further in their cultivation. But now there was one at the peak of the Golden Celestial Stage! They were all shuddering. Although both the Initial Stage and the peak of the Golden Celestial Stage were categorized under the Golden Celestial Stage, they weren't at all the same level. There was a tremendous gap in terms of strength and status!
"Humph, ridiculous! When did the Equipment Refining Sect produce such disgraceful fellows? I only left for thousands of years, how could the Equipment Refining Sect have changed this much?" Just then, Mo Junchen stepped forward with an imposing and daunting aura, and his eyes swept across everyone who was present. Everyone was confused, and they stared back at Mo Junchen. Obviously, they didn't recognize their own Sect Leader from thousands of years ago. The three King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact, who had more experience than the others, looked at Mo Junchen and listened to his words. Then they seemed to remember something. All of a sudden, they shook and trembled.
"That's right! Ridiculous!" Just then, Buttface walked out with a proud expression. With a serious demeanor, he said, "Younger...Elder Brother Mo, you should start managing these people, especially these three who call themselves King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact. When Your Holiness looked at their faces, I knew that they were harboring evil intentions. If the three of them haven't done anything harmful, I'll stand upside down and sh*t here!"
