Chapter 396 of Against the Gods: Debt Collection



The Snow Phoenix Beast soared straight into the sky, reaching a height of three thousand feet. In the blink of an eye, it had flown away from the range of the Blue Wind Imperial City.

Yun Che took out the map of the Profound Sky Continent that Cang Yue had prepared for him, and visually estimated the distance between Blue Wind Imperial City and Divine Phoenix City... The Divine Phoenix Empire was huge, nearly twenty times the size of Blue Wind Country. Even with the speed of the Snow Phoenix Beast, it would take more than ten days to reach Divine Phoenix City if it flew for seven or eight hours a day.

“…It’s actually so far!” Yun Che groaned in a low voice. He had thought that since he had set out a month in advance, he would have plenty of time and would have enough time to explore Shenhuang City. However, since he had never seen a map of the Profound Sky Continent before, he had obviously misjudged the distance between Blue Wind Imperial City and Shenhuang City.

After staring at the map of the Divine Phoenix Empire for a while, Yun Che's gaze returned to the Blue Wind Nation. After staying on the land in the southwest for a while, it stopped at a certain place... He sneered strangely, closed the map, and left in the wind.

…………………………

With Xiaonan Mountain at its back and Nantian River on its right, the Xiao Sect's headquarters is an impeccable Feng Shui treasure land. Yun Che was thousands of feet in the sky, and he could clearly see the square arch stone gate in front of the Xiao Sect. The stone gate was a hundred feet high, and the word "Xiao" engraved on the top was majestic and domineering.

“It’s a really nice place.”

Yun Che muttered to himself, and rode the Snow Phoenix Beast down quickly. When he was close to the sky above the stone gate, he leaped down, and drew his Dragon Fault Sword, striking the stone gate with one blow.

BOOM!!!!

The earth-shattering explosion sounded throughout the entire Xiaonan Mountain. As Longque emitted a deafening dragon roar, the Xiao Sect's thousand-year-old gate trembled violently in the roar. Countless cracks spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they densely covered the entire gate. Then, the huge stone gate collapsed with a thunderous roar.

Boom boom boom…

The sound of huge rocks falling to the ground was endless, and the dust was overwhelming. Yun Che fell from the sky with a sneer on his face... and his action undoubtedly stirred up a hornet's nest. The originally quiet Xiao Sect's sect gate was instantly alarmed, and chaotic footsteps swarmed in. They watched helplessly as the gate that symbolized the face and thousand-year history of the Xiao Sect actually fell down like this and turned into rubble on the ground. They were all horrified.

"Who are you? How dare you come to my Xiao Sect and act wildly!!"

Xiao Juetian's furious voice came from the sky. As the sect master, he was too lazy to show up for trivial matters on weekdays, but the sect was suddenly destroyed, which was a major event related to the Xiao Sect's thousand-year honor! Xiao Juetian flew over, rushing to the front like an eagle, and blasted out with his palm. A storm of profound force roared in, blowing away the dust in the sky, revealing the figure of the culprit - Yun Che.

“Sect Master Xiao, I haven’t seen you for a few months. I hope you are doing well.” Yun Che said with a smile as he looked at Xiao Juetian, whose beard was about to explode with anger.

“Yun… Yun Che!!”

The moment he saw Yun Che's face clearly, Xiao Juetian felt as if he had seen the face of a demon. His entire face twitched violently, and his brain made a loud bang. The rage in his heart seemed to be suppressed by something extremely heavy... It could no longer burst out, and his chest was almost bursting from the suppression.

When the elders and disciples of the Xiao Sect who had hurried over from behind heard the word "Yun Che", their faces changed drastically, and even their running steps slowed down.

Yun Che put away Dragon Fault and walked towards Xiao Juetian at a leisurely pace, saying slowly, “Last time in the Imperial Palace, Sect Master Xiao came to attend my wedding in person. I was so grateful that I promised on the spot to visit Xiao Sect in person another day. I, Yun Che, will definitely fulfill my words. So I came here today… I saw from afar that your sect’s gate is very majestic and rare in the country, so I wanted to stand on top of it to overlook the entire Xiao Sect. However, I didn’t expect that this gate would be so fragile that it collapsed as soon as I stepped on it. I was really shocked. Oh, I accidentally stepped on your sect’s gate and damaged it. I hope Sect Master Xiao will not be offended.”

The Xiao Sect's gate had a thousand-year history and had experienced countless storms. How could it be "trampled"? Yun Che, who had destroyed the gate of a hundred feet, had simply said "don't be offended"... Xiao Juetian's blood pressure rose on the spot, and his lungs almost exploded. If it was anyone else in front of him, even if the other person was Ling Yuefeng, he would rush forward and fight desperately.

But the person standing in front of him was Yun Che, whom he couldn't afford to offend. He had already secretly sworn that he would never conflict with him, even if his dignity was trampled under his feet! Because not only was Yun Che extremely powerful, but he was also a madman who had wiped out the entire Burning Heaven family and even beat up the Divine Phoenix Prince!

On Yun Che’s wedding day four months ago, Yun Che had casually said that he would definitely come to visit Xiao Sect in person someday. This sentence had made Xiao Juetian unable to sleep or eat for half a month. Now that several months had passed, he had basically put his mind at ease... Yun Che had finally come.

Xiao Juetian forced a smile that was uglier than crying. "It turned out to be Brother Yun! No wonder my sect's medicine garden is full of flowers today. It turned out that such a distinguished guest came to visit. My Xiao Sect is really honored... This gate has existed for a thousand years and has long been in disrepair. I didn't expect it to collapse at this time and disturb the distinguished guest. We should apologize. Brother Yun, please come in, so that I can show my hospitality."

The thousand-year-old gate that represented their dignity was destroyed, and they actually had to apologize to the other party. The elders and disciples of the Xiao Sect all had red faces... At the sect meeting, Xiao Juetian said several times that they must not be enemies with Yun Che, and must not offend the people around Yun Che. Today they witnessed Xiao Juetian's attitude with their own eyes... Obviously, his fear of Yun Che was far beyond their imagination.

“Oh…” Yun Che narrowed his eyes slightly. Xiao Juetian’s skill of being able to bend and stretch was truly extraordinary. He actually greeted such an offense and provocation with a smile and even apologized. He was indeed worthy of being the leader of the Xiao Sect. Yun Che slowly said, “There’s no need to go in. I came here today for only one thing.”

Xiao Juetian said quickly: "I wonder what Brother Yun is doing? If I can help, I will definitely do my best."

“Hey, this matter is too easy for Sect Master Xiao.” Yun Che smiled faintly and said, “I want to meet someone from your Xiao Sect.”

Xiao Juetian's heart suddenly "skipped" and he said calmly, "I wonder who Brother Yun wants to see..."

“Xiao Kuangyun!” Yun Che half-closed his eyes, his face expressionless.

Although they had expected this day to come, when it really came, Xiao Juetian's heart still twitched, and the faces of the elders and disciples behind him changed...Now, everyone in the Xiao Sect knew what Xiao Kuangyun had done to Yun Che in the past, and the retribution that was coming finally came. With Yun Che's cruel method of directly exterminating the Burning Heaven Sect, they didn't dare to think about what would happen to Xiao Kuangyun after falling into Yun Che's hands...But, no matter what, the Xiao Sect must not tear its face with Yun Che because of Xiao Kuangyun. The Burning Heaven Sect that had been exterminated was a bloody lesson.

"Master, what should we do?" Xiao Boyun came to Xiao Juetian's side and whispered with a worried look on his face.

Xiao Juetian's expression changed rapidly, and he finally gritted his teeth and roared with a voice that could be heard throughout half of the Xiao Clan: "Pull this rebellious son Xiao Kuangyun out for me!!"

“But…but…” Xiao Boyun was momentarily at a loss for words at Xiao Juetian’s reaction. He had originally thought about fabricating a story that Xiao Kuangyun was not in the sect, or had been expelled from the sect, in order to try to escape. Unexpectedly, Xiao Juetian was so determined… Everyone in the Xiao Sect knew that among Xiao Juetian’s four sons, the one he doted on the most was his youngest son, Xiao Kuangyun, who was also the only son born to his first wife.

However, facing Yun Che who was as scary as a demon, Xiao Juetian didn't dare to have any luck at all. He even wanted to end it all as soon as possible. No matter the result was good or bad, at least he wouldn't have to live in fear anymore. He growled again: "No buts! Get him to come here immediately! If he doesn't come, drag him here!"

Not long after, the Xiao clan's crowd dispersed, and Xiao Kuangyun staggered, and was dragged over by an elder of the Xiao clan, and then pushed in front of Xiao Juetian. Xiao Kuangyun's steps were unsteady, and he fell to the ground. When he looked up, he saw a familiar face. After a brief pause, he turned pale: "Yun... Yun Che!"

Xiao Kuangyun's hair was slightly messy, and his face was a little sallow. It was obvious that he had not been doing well recently. Since the Burning Heaven Sect was wiped out, he had been living in a nightmare every day when he learned that Yun Che was the Xiao Che whom he had ignored and almost forgotten. At this moment, when he recognized Yun Che, it was like seeing an evil ghost in his dream in broad daylight, and he was so scared that he almost lost control of his bowels and urination on the spot.

"Oh, Master Xiao, after more than three years, you can still recognize me, a small figure from the Xiao Clan of Liuyun City. I am so honored!" Yun Che looked at Xiao Kuangyun and sneered faintly. Three years ago, he hated Xiao Kuangyun to the core and wanted to grind him to ashes, but now, facing this man with a face full of fear, lying in front of him like a dog, he no longer had anger, nor did he feel the slightest pleasure of asking for the debt of the past. He only felt a little sad... Yes, he could only blame himself for being so useless back then. Such a person who was not even considered trash could actually force him to leave home, causing his grandfather and little aunt to be lonely for three years... If Chu Yueli had not been there, the consequences would have been even more unbearable.

Thinking about it now, he should probably thank Xiao Kuangyun. If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t have been so madly thirsting for power, and there wouldn’t be the Yun Che of today.

Even at this moment, he had no interest in killing him... What kind of person is he now? The son-in-law of the Blue Wind Emperor, and the title of "The Number One in Blue Wind", Xiao Juetian, the leader of the Xiao Sect who was powerful enough to cover the sky with one hand, was respectful in front of him and did not dare to breathe. In front of him, Xiao Kuangyun was not even a piece of shit. Killing him would only dirty his hands and humiliate his identity.

Although Yun Che was only at Earth Profound Realm, the pressure was so heavy that even Xiao Juetian might not be able to bear it, let alone Xiao Kuangyun. Under Yun Che’s aura and gaze, his face turned pale and he retreated in a tumbling manner: “No… don’t kill me… that year… that year was not my fault… those were… those were all Xiao Yulong’s ideas… it’s none of my business… it’s none of my business.”

“I know.” Yun Che said calmly, “Of course I know what Xiao Yulong did, so I cut his tendons, dug out his eyes, chopped off his ears, cut off his nose, cut off his tongue, plucked out all his hair, broke his leg and hand bones, and destroyed his humanity… At the same time, I kept his life, let him live well! Let him die slowly in hell, bit by bit!!”

“Ahhh…” Xiao Kuangyun let out a strange cry of extreme fear, and his limbs trembled wildly… Between his legs, yellow and white liquid flowed all over the ground.

Even those elders who had experienced countless hardships were all terrified and felt cold all over after hearing Yun Che’s cruel methods… This was clearly a method that only the most cruel devil would use.

[The first stage of the Heretic God is about to end. The next stage will be the Divine Phoenix City and the Illusory Demon Realm. Soon, there will be a climax and a huge turning point. During this critical period, I am quite hesitant to act, always afraid of missing something...]
