Jun Tianchao, self-important and seemingly invincible, was easily killed by Xu Fengqiu.
His death was quite abrupt.
Indeed, the methods he employed were extraordinary.
But it was futile.
Xu Fengqiu's power far surpassed that of the Nine Provinces.
Whether it was strength or physique, he was simply too overwhelming.
Unless it was a God Emperor powerhouse truly above even a Supreme Immortal Emperor, Xu Fengqiu, at the ninth rank of Immortal Emperor, would absolutely crush them.
Even ordinary God Emperors of the Eight Desolations might not be able to shake Xu Fengqiu.
It would have to be a top-tier one.
After all, Xu Fengqiu had undergone so many enhancements from the system over the years, with so many methods, countless treasures, and top-tier spiritual objects.
He alone had gathered the golden fingers of dozens of male protagonists who could stand at the pinnacle of the continent in a typical fantasy novel.
If he weren't overpowered, it would be too absurd.
Jun Tianchao's death at the hands of Xu Fengqiu was bound to cause a huge sensation.
But this was also what Xu Fengqiu wanted.
Yes, the attention of the major sects was currently focused on the imminent opening of the Eight Desolations Passage.
The sudden occurrence of such a major event would likely leave them at a loss.
However, Xu Fengqiu now had an absolutely legitimate reason to attack the Immortal Palace!
Subsequently, Xu Fengqiu stepped out of the secret realm.
Outside the secret realm, no one knew what had happened.
The people of the Immortal Palace were also unaware.
Although the commotion within the secret realm was significant.
However, this matter was something Jun Tianchao wanted to do in secret, and he certainly didn't want the Immortal Palace to know.
Xu Fengqiu swaggered through the Immortal Palace.
"Sect Leader Xu, is there something you need?"
An Immortal Palace powerhouse looked at Xu Fengqiu and asked.
Whoosh—
There was no time for any reaction, with absolutely crushing power.
The powerhouse's body flew out.
After landing on the ground, he was directly turned into a corpse.
The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"What's going on?"
"That's... Xu Fengqiu? What does he mean by this? He just openly killed an Immortal Palace powerhouse?"
"He's heading towards the main hall? What does he want to do?"
"Is he crazy? How could something so incomprehensible suddenly happen? What exactly does Xu Fengqiu want to do? Is he insane?"
"Let's go, follow him and see!"
"..."
The news spread quickly.
The sect leaders of the major sects learned of it.
The Immortal Palace naturally knew as well.
Swish, swish—
A large number of powerhouses also appeared within the sight of many people.
Meanwhile, Xu Fengqiu killed several Immortal Palace powerhouses along the way.
He walked upwards step by step.
"Xu Fengqiu! What do you want to do? Are you crazy?"
An Immortal Palace elder stood high up and roared at Xu Fengqiu.
To be honest, it was incomprehensible, unimaginable why such a thing would happen.
Whoosh—
Xu Fengqiu directly charged towards the elder who was pointing at him.
"You!!"
It would be a lie to say that the Immortal Palace elder wasn't afraid.
When Xu Fengqiu rushed over, his first reaction was not to confront Xu Fengqiu head-on, but to dodge.
However...
Under Xu Fengqiu's exaggerated power.
He, an Immortal Emperor of the ninth rank, had his arm easily severed by Xu Fengqiu, and then was directly killed in front of everyone.
His corpse fell heavily from the void.
Everyone frowned deeply.
A large number of top Immortal Palace powerhouses also gathered here at the first moment.
"What's going on?"
Han Ya'er looked at the scene in front of her in confusion.
Above the void, Xu Fengqiu was surrounded by a large number of top Immortal Palace powerhouses.
"What happened to this kid again?"
Duanmu Jin was even more bewildered.
Weren't they all here discussing the imminent opening of the Eight Desolations Passage?
How could Xu Fengqiu suddenly start killing people inside the Immortal Palace?
But one thing was for sure, this Xu Fengqiu was truly overpowered.
He was at the ninth rank of Immortal Emperor, and yet those who were also at the ninth rank of Immortal Emperor, like those at the Heavenly Dao realm, or the first or second rank of Immortal Emperor, were so easily killed by Xu Fengqiu.
"Xu Fengqiu, what exactly do you mean by this? You're wreaking havoc in my Immortal Palace, there must be a reason, right? Do you want to be an enemy of the entire Nine Provinces?"
An elder of the Immortal Palace narrowed his eyes and glared at Xu Fengqiu.
"Reason?"
Xu Fengqiu glanced at everyone and said, "Then I would also like to know, why did the Immortal Palace attack me?"
Hearing Xu Fengqiu's words, they exchanged glances, their expressions even more puzzled.
"What do you mean? When did my Immortal Palace attack you, Xu Fengqiu?"
Xu Fengqiu said, "The Sect Leader of the Immortal Palace, Jun Tianchao, used the excuse of discussing the opening of the Eight Desolations Passage to trick me into going to the secret realm of the Immortal Palace alone. In reality, he had prepared a large number of methods in the secret realm, intending to kill me in this Immortal Palace. That secret realm also seemed to have been prepared for many years. So, does the Immortal Palace have an explanation for me?"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Yes, normally, who wouldn't want to do what Jun Tianchao did?
Who wouldn't want to kill Xu Fengqiu?
Who wouldn't want to obtain all the heaven-defying treasures and methods in Xu Fengqiu's hands?
They wanted to, but they couldn't do it.
They never expected that Jun Tianchao would actually do this.
Xu Fengqiu then said, "This matter has already happened once. The previous example of the Heavenly Profound Emperor, it seems that the Immortal Palace doesn't care. Today, you tricked me into this Immortal Palace again, setting up a trap to kill me. Interesting, very interesting!"
Xu Fengqiu certainly knew that this was Jun Tianchao's personal action, or rather, the action of very few people.
But he only needed to play dumb.
He only needed to let everyone know about this.
He only needed to assert that it was the means of the entire Immortal Palace.
What would others think?
They would likely think that this matter was definitely not done by Jun Tianchao alone.
It should be similar to the previous Heavenly Profound Emperor.
The Immortal Palace people frowned and exchanged glances.
"There are still a large number of remaining methods in the secret realm. If you go in and investigate, you will understand. The formations of the successive Sect Leaders of the Immortal Palace, and your Immortal Palace guardian spirits, are endless. If it weren't for my extraordinary methods, I would have already died in your Immortal Palace."
Xu Fengqiu: "Oh, right, Jun Tianchao's corpse is also in the secret realm. Now, everyone in the Immortal Palace, are we going to settle the score properly or what?"
Jun Tianchao was killed?
Everyone was shocked.
But thinking about it, who couldn't Xu Fengqiu kill?
"Hmph! You killed the Sect Leader, that's just your word. What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true, and not something you fabricated?"
"Hahaha!" Xu Fengqiu laughed loudly.
"Your Excellency, your words only make your Immortal Palace seem more guilty! Alright, I don't need your Immortal Palace to say anything. Let's just start the war! From now on, either your Immortal Palace will be removed from the Nine Provinces, or I, Xu Fengqiu, will die in battle!"
