Chapter 514: Que Xuan, Wan Ling

However, Wu Zhene did not notice what was happening outside; at this moment, he had already entered an extremely profound Realm.

"Where is this?"

Observing the changes in his environment, Wu Zhene's expression became grave. Before he could react, a figure emerged from within his body the next second.

Looking at the other party, Wu Zhene spoke in astonishment.

"Que Xuan?"

The person appearing before Wu Zhene was none other than Que Xuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. At this moment, Que Xuan's expression was extremely grave; without turning around, she asked.

"Where on earth did you go, kid? Why is there such a terrifying aura?"

Before Wu Zhene could react, he saw countless flames surging from all directions, which then condensed before him into a figure of peerless elegance.

Her graceful figure was exposed just enough, causing Wu Zhene, who had never witnessed such a scene, to blush involuntarily and quickly turn his head away.

Que Xuan, looking at the figure before her, appeared extremely grave and slowly asked, "Who exactly are you, Your Excellency?"

The figure did not speak, only looking at Wu Zhene, who was being protected behind Que Xuan, and then muttered.

"Similar, it really is too similar."

By now, Wu Zhene had reacted. He looked at the other party, then at Que Xuan, and spoke.

"I intended to join the Limitless Divine Artifact Sect. I had just entered Divine Flame Mountain when I was pulled in here."

Hearing 'Limitless Divine Artifact Sect', Que Xuan's expression turned pensive. She soon had the answer and looked at the figure before her, saying,

"If I am not mistaken, you must be the Limitless God Emperor's life-bound Divine Flame, the Wan Dao Underworld Fire, right?"

But the other party ignored Que Xuan, instead staring blankly at Wu Zhene behind her, only speaking after a long while.

"Wan Ling pays respects to Master."

"Master? Are you talking about me?"

Hearing the woman's words, Wu Zhene was somewhat astonished and said in disbelief.

The woman named Wan Ling nodded seriously and said,

"That is correct, Wan Ling pays respects to Master."

Before Wu Zhene could react, Que Xuan, who was protecting him, could no longer sit still and angrily rebuked Wan Ling.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Wu Zhene is my Master, not yours!"

As Que Xuan spoke, Wan Ling finally looked at her. With just a single glance, she saw through Que Xuan's background and said while looking at her,

"I cannot be mistaken. Master is the Reincarnation of my Master. Only Master can resonate with me, so I am certain that the person before me is my Master."

Upon hearing this, Que Xuan angrily rebuked,

"Shut up! Since you want to fight me for Master, let us decide it with our skills!"

After saying this, before Wu Zhene could react, Que Xuan charged at Wan Ling. Seeing Que Xuan initiate the attack, Wan Ling snorted coldly and immediately began fighting her.

Watching this scene, Wu Zhene felt a headache coming on. What was going on? How did they start fighting without a second word?

But with the two of them clashing, even Wu Zhene had no way to intervene; he could only shout from the side, "Stop fighting! Both of you, stop fighting!"

Unfortunately, the two were fighting intensely and didn't listen to a word Wu Zhene said at all.

Although Que Xuan was not weak, Wan Ling was the Incarnation of the Wan Dao Underworld Fire, a ninth-grade Divine Flame that even a God Emperor could not easily subdue.

Therefore, it didn't take long before Que Xuan was sent flying by a palm strike from Wan Ling, suffering heavy injuries on the spot.

But Wan Ling did not stop there. Since Que Xuan dared to attack her, she had to teach Que Xuan a lesson.

Seeing that Wan Ling was about to send Que Xuan on her way, Wu Zhene could finally sit still no longer. He quickly rushed toward Que Xuan, managing to block in front of her just before Wan Ling could finish her off.

With Wu Zhene's appearance, Wan Ling frowned slightly and then withdrew her hand, saying,

"Master, what are you planning to do?"

"Stop fighting! Since you claim I am your Master, then I order you to stop attacking. Let this matter end here."

Wu Zhene looked at Wan Ling before him, his gaze extremely resolute, without the slightest concession.

Wan Ling looked at Wu Zhene for a good while, as if trying to find the shadow of someone within Wu Zhene's features.

But soon, Wan Ling shook her head, looked at Wu Zhene, and said coldly,

"Master, if I said that today you can only choose one between her and me, who would you choose?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhene spoke without hesitation.

"I choose her. I cannot let you kill her."

Although Que Xuan was mostly asleep while inside his body, ever since leaving the Xuanyuan Realm, there were several times when he faced certain death, and it was Que Xuan who stepped in to save him.

Therefore, he could not just watch Que Xuan die.

Hearing Wu Zhene's words, Que Xuan's heart could not help but be moved.

Wan Ling, upon hearing this, looked at Que Xuan and snorted coldly, saying: "Since Master is pleading for you, I will not hold your offense against me. But this is only once. If you attack again next time, I will not spare you, even if Master speaks up."

Upon hearing this, Que Xuan intended to refute something, but in the end, she said nothing. She could tell that what Wan Ling said was true.

Most importantly, she couldn't beat Wan Ling.

"Master, I am going back to heal my injuries."

Que Xuan glared at Wan Ling and then slipped back into Wu Zhene's body to begin healing.

With Que Xuan gone inside, Wu Zhene stood up. Looking at Wan Ling before him—he had only stepped out earlier to save Que Xuan—now that he had to face Wan Ling alone, Wu Zhene felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But soon, Wu Zhene spoke.

"This Senior, I do not know why you call me Master?"

Hearing this, Wan Ling's eyes appeared somewhat reminiscent. After sighing, she spoke: "You must have come to participate in the Limitless Divine Artifact Sect's disciple recruitment, which is why you entered Divine Flame Mountain, right?"

Wu Zhene nodded, and Wan Ling then continued.

"That explains it. My Master was the founding Ancestral Master of the Limitless Divine Artifact Sect, the Limitless God Emperor."

"My Master was attacked by a powerful enemy years ago and fell not long after. Before falling, my Master told me to remain within Divine Flame Mountain; if someone could resonate with me, that person would be my new Master."

"And you are the first person in the billions of years since my Master fell who has been able to resonate with me, so according to my Master's agreement, you are my new Master."

Hearing this, Wu Zhene felt that the whole thing was incredible. After all, this matter was truly too Xuanhuan; could there really be such a good thing in this world?
