728 Chapter 728 (1/2)
”Something bad has happened!”
”This time we are doomed!”
”Bad news has arrived from the North Sea. The four continents are protected by the shackles. However, after Xu Que killed those outlanders, cultivators of the Xuanzhen Continent created a temporary gap on the shackles and delivered a written war challenge through it!”
”They asked us to send Jiang Hongyan back immediately; otherwise, they will break the shackles in five years and slaughter the four continents!”
”What? How could this be?”
”Alas, the shackles have been in place for too many years, and they have used up their Spiritual Qi!”
”I heard the shackles could protect us for ten years, right?”
”Right, they could last for ten years. However, Xu Que killed the outlanders, which has annoyed the Emperor of the Xuanzhen Continent. Now they have started to bombard the shackles, and they will break in five years!”
”Five years? What...should we do?”
”I am still young! Five years will pass by in a blink of an eye. We started our cultivation to pursue immortality. Does this mean all our efforts are in vain?”
…
Countless cultivators in the East Continent and the rest of the three continents were in a panic!
The pressure from the Xuanzhen Continent was just like a desperate haze suspended over the four continents.
When Xu Que heard the news, he was extraordinarily calm! Because Jiang Hongyan had already told him this when he stopped her from going back to the Xuanzhen Continent. She had also told Xu Que that the Xuanzhen Continent was quite powerful and could break the shackles in five years! Five years were quite short for cultivators!
However, for Xu Que, five years were not that short. He could enhance his strength remarkably in this period. Maybe he could be powerful enough to kill cultivators at the summit of the Great Vehicle Stage! Therefore, he announced calmly, ”Cultivators of the four continents should ignore the Xuanzhen Continent's war challenge. No matter how many cultivators they will send here, I will kill all of them!”
However, it seemed his announcement was not as effective as he expected!
There were numerous families and sects in the four continents that knew the strength of the Xuanzhen Continent clearly. Patriarchs of some families and sects even declared publicly that the Emperor of the Xuanzhen Continent was a powerhouse at the summit of the Great Vehicle Stage! Their declaration dropped the four continents into an uproar!
”The summit of the Great Vehicle Stage? My God! It means he is only a step away from becoming a celestial, right?”
”How could we defeat him?”
”Xu Que said he will kill all the cultivators from the Xuanzhen Continent. If the Emperor of the Xuanzhen Continent comes here, how could he defeat him?”
”The Emperor of the Xuanzhen Continent could be deemed as a demi-god!”
Many cultivators were totally shocked!
”Xu Que is too selfish! How could he keep Jiang Hongyan with him at the cost of all the lives of the four continents?”
The Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe of the South Continent couldn't help but blame Xu Que. Once someone started the blaming, numerous people followed.
”Those outlanders said Jiang Hongyan was a cultivator of the Xuanzhen Continent and the daughter of the Emperor. As a Holy Senior of the Xuanzhen Continent, why does she stay in the four continents?”
”This time Xu Que has crossed the line. Are all the lives of the four continents less valuable than Jiang Hongyan?”
