I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness?
Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf.
The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough!
Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit.
“Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!

401 Here He Was!
Chapter 401: Here He Was!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que's voice echoed through the Snow Mountain!
Does this guy want to loot us?
Hearing him speak, Liu Jingning was stunned and could not help but laugh.
From the mirror, she saw clearly that the guy was a good-looking young man. She had never imagined that a man like him could talk like that!
Suddenly, the Water Empress opened her eyes. She was surprised by what she saw from the mirror—Xu Que and many other soldiers falling from the sky, where countless Kongming Lanterns were floating.
Even though he looks very gentle, he is actually quite powerful and brave!
How did he even get here?
The Water Empress was very surprised.
She had met Xu Que for the first time in the Tower of Souls, and had gotten to know his magnificent strength whilst they were in Fire Country together. Everything about him returned to her mind.
She smiled a little bit. Her smile was so beautiful that it could overshadow the loveliness of all the flowers in the world.
"Jiang Hong Yan, I have never come across this good-looking young man before. I saw him coming here with Situ, so he must be very strong.. why have I never seen him before?" Liu Jingning asked, staring into the mirror. "But it doesn't matter, really. They will all die, and it will be all because of you! Jiang Hong Yan, you really are destined to be unhappy! Even your name means beauty that will bring disaster to your beloved… it shows clearly that anyone who is involved with you will always lose their life for you!" Liu Jingning sneered.
Hearing this, Hong Yan said gently, "It is you who should be worried. Your soldiers will be defeated by him! Liu Jingning, if you do not want all your soldiers to die, I suggest you leave now!"
"Nonsense!" Liu Jingning turned around and laughed hard, as if she had heard a funny joke.
The Water Empress shook her head and smiled.
"Jiang Hong Yan, I never thought that you might have become less intelligent since leaving the Jiang family. Do you really think I will believe your words? Wait and see for yourself, my soldiers will surely kill that young man!"
The two stopped talking and stared into the mirror together.
Amongst all the people around them, Xu Que was the tallest. His cheeky personality did not seem at all compatible with his gentle appearance.
Although it seemed like Situ was the one leading the soldiers, in actual fact, Xu Que was their true leader.
Before landing, they had loosened their fabric wings and taken out their long spears, attacking the soldiers of the Ice Troops the moment they neared the ground.
The soldiers of the Ice Troops had not been prepared for this at all. There were only a few hundred soldiers patrolling the city wall, and they had never expected such a thing to happen.
Soon, hundreds of soldiers under the Ice Queen's command were killed.
Xu Que held his eight-star sword in his hand and attacked, felling most of the soldiers himself. Although he could not use his True Core Strength, he was still able to easily kill the enemy, cutting through their lines as if they were a pile of mud. Then he used his Lone Nine Swords technique until they were almost completely crushed.
In very little time, the last soldier of the Ice Troops fell. Xu Que stepped over his body and shouted, "Now, who still wants to fight me?
"Who?" all the soldiers of Snow City shouted in unison.
They felt extremely excited, having so easily killed all the patrolling soldiers. Situ proudly stood upon the city wall, holding her weapon, Fang Tian Ji, in her hand. Her eyes were full of exhilaration.
After seeing what Xu Que had done, she now felt very confident in their ability to win this battle.
"How dare you!" came a shout. A very strong man stepped out of the camp. Wearing ice armour, he was at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage, and looked ferociously powerful despite having no access to his True Core Strength.
"How dare you! My fellows, let's kill them all!" the strong man shouted, gesturing wildly his hand.
In the blink of an eye, countless soldiers of the Ice Troops came pouring out of the camp and assembled themselves into a battle formation.
Since it was already late at night, most of the soldiers had previously been resting. After hearing the strong man's order, however, they had hurriedly gotten up. Some of them were still wearing ice armour.
Xu Que shouted, "Shoot your arrows!"
"Yes!"
All the soldiers of Snow City quickly let loose their arrows.
In one sudden movement, the arrows flew towards the soldiers of the Ice Troops like falling rain.
Countless soldiers of the Ice Troops died then and there, before getting close to the city wall. Without the help of True Core Strength, most could not withstand the arrows.
Most importantly, Xu Que was now already occupying the city wall.
"Shoot! Do not stop! Right! Let's shoot them to death! Shoot them in their faces!" Xu Que stood on the city wall, shouting encouragement.
Meanwhile, he summoned his System and purchased many containers of burning oil with his Acting Tough Points.
"Come and pour this burning oil down on them!" Xu Que instructed a few hundred soldiers. He ordered them to pour the oil down along the city wall.
Soon, the pungent smell of the oil began to permeate the area.
The soldiers of the Ice Troops frowned and covered their nose with their hands.
"What is this smell?"
"It smells so terrible!"
"Could it be urine?"
"F*ck! They are total nuts!"
"How shameless they are! Where are our bowmen? Come and cover us!"
"Huh? What are they doing with torches?"
Many soldiers of the Ice Troops were shocked.
Xu Que gave each soldier a torch and looked down at the soldiers from the city wall, sneering at them.
Seeing this, all the soldiers of the Ice Troops trembled.
"Do not stop! Do not be afraid! They are just playing tricks! Bowmen, shoot!" the General shouted.
Our numbers overwhelm them. Even though they are occupying the city wall, we will not lose. We have lost thousands of our peers, but that is normal in a war. I believe we will win in the end, the General thought to himself.
"Let's kill them!" the General shouted.
Hearing this, the soldiers of the Ice Troops began to run towards the city wall.
The bowmen behind them aimed at the city wall and shot their arrows towards the Snow City forces.
Seeing this, Xu Que sneered. "How stupid! Throw all the torches down!"

402 It Was Time To Give Them A Real Show
Chapter 402: It Was Time To Give Them A Real Show
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
All of a sudden, countless torches were thrown from the city wall. Their surrounding area was illuminated by firelight.
Bang!
As soon as the torches touched the burning oil on the ground and walls, it burst into flame. The fire quickly spread around the area.
The soldiers of the Ice Troops who were standing towards the front were surrounded by fire. Since they could not use their True Core Strength, they all melted.
"Sh*t!"
"Withdraw!"
"They are very wicked! They are trying to kill us with fire!"
"Do not push me! Retreat!"
"F*ck! My feet are on fire!"
It was total chaos. Soldiers from behind tried running to the front, soldiers in front tried to run behind!
They all tread in the burning oil. Many soldiers were on fire and screamed in great pain.
The smoke rose up from the crowd.
What a terrible scene. Thousands of soldiers were being devoured by the fire!
Xu Que stopped laughing. In fact he also felt that it was a bit cruel to kill them in this way. But if he did not kill them, then the soldiers of the Snow City would be the ones to die.
That was why he had decided to burn them to death in the first place. Once the soldiers of the Ice Troops were frightened enough by this, he would definitely win.
The screaming persisted as countless soldiers of the Ice Troops lost their lives in the sea of fire.
The bowmen at the back of the army were totally stunned. Their faces all turned to pale and they sat very still.
The General was shocked and so angry that he clenched his fists. The dead soldiers were all his subordinates—how could he not be furious?
"How wicked you are! How dare you do this!" the General shouted to the city wall.
Hearing this, the Snow City soldiers upon the city wall all lowered their heads, feeling a little sad about what they had done.
At this moment, Xu Que stepped forward and shouted, "They are traitors! They invaded your country! They killed your peers and looted us! Do you really think you should let them go?"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the Snow City did not reply.
Yes! They invaded us, killed our families, looted our houses and imprisoned our Water Empress. Why should we feel sorry for them?
Xu Que continued to speak. "They are cruel! If we feel sorry for them, we are being cruel to ourselves! Do you really think you should let them go?"
The soldiers on the city wall were all convinced by Xu Que's words.
"Yes! We shall kill them all!"
"Kill them all!"
"Kill them all!"
They all shouted together.
Seeing their peers burning in the fire and hearing the voices coming from the city wall, the soldiers of the Ice Troops freaked out and looked towards the city wall in a daze.
The soldiers of Snow City had become such a cruel and ferocious army!
They are occupying our city wall and killing our peers with fire. We cannot use our True Core Strength, which means that we are no different from mortals here. How can we defeat them?
All of a sudden, all the soldiers of the Ice Troops felt very tired. They no longer wanted to fight.
…
The General was speechless. He looked at Xu Que and felt very surprised by what he had done.
"Who is this guy? He is so young, but he is already so good at lifting the morale of the soldiers! Who is he?"
During a war, aside from the strength of a soldier, the next most important thing was having a general who understood how to lift the morale of his soldiers.
No matter how physically powerful an army was, once the soldiers became dispirited, they would still be bound to lose!
Xu Que clearly knew this, which was why he was using his words so deftly to lift the spirits of his peers.
…
Inside the cave, all the events happening outside were projected in the mirror.
Liu Jingning was completely shocked by what she had seen.
She had never expected that young man to be so cruel, and so effective at raising the morale of his peers. He had managed to completely change the energy of the soldiers of the Snow City, which would otherwise have been just a normal army. Furthermore, he had almost frightened her soldiers to death!
"It... it is impossible!"
Liu Jingning suddenly turned around and shouted, "Jiang Hong Yan, tell me who this young man is! Is he your Holy Son? That can't be possible. He is just at Level 8 of the Infant Transformation Stage, so he cannot be a Holy Son!"
Hong Yan smiled. "He comes from Fire Country, and he grew up in the Five Elements Mountain. But with his strength, he is definitely qualified to become a Holy Son!"
"Nonsense! It is impossible for there to be a Holy Son in the Five Elements Mountain!" Liu Jingning was shocked.
"You should leave with your soldiers now, otherwise, you will all be killed!" Hongyan said gently.
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was alarmed. "No, you are lying!" she insisted. "You think I would believe your words?"
Hong Yan spoke, "I just do not want that young man to kill anyone else anymore. He has already killed too many. Such acts committed at such a young age will make life very tough for him in the future!"
Liu Jingning sneered. "He is only at Level 10 of the Infant Transformation Stage. I don't see what difference he could make!"
Hongyan stopped talking, a wry smile on her lips. She closed her eyes again and continued to fight against the restrictive enchantments with her True Core Strength!
In her heart, she already knew that Xu Que would win.
Liu Jingning was furious and sneered. "Jiang Hong Yan, you can't scare me! It is only because my soldiers cannot use their True Core Strength here that they failed to fight back! Do not forget, I have already occupied all of Water Nation! If I want to kill him, I would be able to kill him right now."
Kill him right now?
Hong Yan had heard someone say the exact same thing in the past.
Tian Sha, who was at Level 8 of the Infant Transformation Stage, had once uttered this exact sentence. But he had been killed by Xu Que in the end.
Now, is it your turn? Does this mean you will be killed by Xu Que?
Thinking of this, Hong Yan smiled.
The restrictive enchantment behind her began to twist and shift.
…
Outside, the battle was getting more and more intense!
The General had now changed tactics. He ordered the bowmen to shoot their arrows from a great distance, and gathered the remaining soldiers. He then divided them into many small teams. Each team had around a hundred people. At last, he asked all the soldiers to move towards the city wall from all directions.
Xu Que had plenty of burning oil, but he felt that it would be a bit too cruel to kill his enemies in this way. He was worried that this might create some psychological problems for Situ and the soldiers of the Snow City.
In fact, his concerns did make sense. Since the beginning of the battle, Situ had been standing next to him and she had not made a sound at all.
Now, Xu Que decided to change tactics too!
"System, how many Acting Tough Points do I need to pay to buy a Zhuge Repeating Crossbow? 10 Acting Tough Points for a hundred crossbows? Fine, give me 5000 crossbows." He paused. "By the way, give me 'King of Wushu' and 'Dragon Subduing Palms' as well. Since the body's own internal force is not been restricted here, it is time for me to give them a good show!"

403 Zhuge Repeating Crossbow
Chapter 403: Zhuge Repeating Crossbow
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Ding! You have bought 5000 crossbows. 500 Acting Tough Points have been deducted." The notification of the System rang in his mind.
Xu Que had also bought two books—'King of Wushu' and 'Dragon Subduing Palms'—with 30 Acting Tough Points.
Both books concerned the practice of martial arts—or in other words, Yellow Stage Martial Arts.
If Xu Que were in a world of swordsmen, the two types of martial arts would be very helpful. But he was at that moment in the Cultivation World, where the two types of martial arts were not a big deal at all.
However, since no one could use their True Core Strength here, he felt no better than a mortal in that moment.
'King of Wushu', in fact, was a type of martial art that required the exertion of a great internal force. It was very masculine and ferocious. If an ordinary man learned how to perform it, his internal force would be greatly enhanced. Zhang Wuji was an example of this.
The King of Wushu technique was compatible with the Dragon Subduing Palm technique. Performing the two in conjunction would allow one to achieve a very good effect.
"Vice Battalion Commander, Come over here!" Xu Que pointed to a random soldier near him.
That soldier was stunned and said, "Sorry, I am not the Vice Battalion Commander…"
"Never mind that, from now on, you are the Vice Battalion Commander. Tell the others to throw their damned bows and arrows away and use the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow." Xu Que retrieved all the Zhuge Repeating Crossbows from his system storage.
Bang!
Suddenly, 5000 Zhuge Repeating Crossbows appeared on the ground.
Seeing this, everyone around him was shocked.
"What is this? It looks so strange."
"Hero Zhuge just said that this is the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. Is this something he made himself?"
The soldiers had no idea how to use this crossbow.
After all, in the Cultivation World, cultivators were accustomed to using cultivation techniques and magic weapons. As for gunpowder, it had been invented by the cultivators by accident. Later, it was humans who had made cannons out of the gunpowder.
Compared with those items, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow seemed a bit shabby. But in their current situation where no one could use their True Core Strength and there was no gunpowder at all, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow seemed to be a good second choice.
"Repeat after me. Yes, right! First, target the enemy, put one hand on the switch, pull the device on the top with your other hand, then shoot!"
In the blink of an eye, a thin but sharp arrow quickly flew from the weapon and pierced on the chest of a soldier of the Ice Troops.
"Sh*t!"
Seeing this, everyone on the city wall took a deep breath.
"How amazing! It does not even take him much strength to shoot the arrow. The arrow flies so fast as well!"
…
The soldiers of the Ice Troops were also stunned. They stared at the city wall, trying to find out where the arrows had come from.
"They really are shameless! They are even using hidden weapons!"
"Fire first, then hidden weapons…"
The General's face turned gloomy. "Never mind," he said. "The hidden weapons will not affect us. Shoot! Hurry up! Kill them all!"
"Yes!"
Seeing this scene, Xu Que sneered and targeted the marching soldiers.
"Everyone, watch carefully now. I am going to show you how powerful the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow really is!" Xu Que shouted.
"Didn't we already see it just now?" one soldier said.
Xu Que pressed the switch. In the next moment, a thin arrow flew out. Then he quickly moved his finger, and the device on the crossbow continued moving forward and backward at a rapid pace.
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
In the blink of an eye, countless arrows were flying out one after another.
All the soldiers on the city wall were speechless.
"What the f*ck! So many arrows with just one shot?"
"The soldiers of the Ice Troops are doomed this time!"
"We have got five thousand crossbows. Just one is already this powerful…"
"Hero Zhuge is really powerful, and he has got so many weapons! It is lucky that he is on our side…"
Xu Que said, "See? Now, everyone take a crossbow and let's shoot them to death."
Hearing this, everyone got excited and hurriedly picked up a crossbow. They could not wait to test the crossbows themselves.
Situ also took a crossbow.
"Good, you guys take care of the soldiers. I will go and kill their bowmen and that General!" Xu Que stepped forward onto the edge of the city wall, about to jump down.
"Hero Zhuge, do not do that, it is dangerous!"
"Do not forget, we cannot use our True Core Strength!"
"Are you unhappy? Tell us about it! We can help you!"
…
"I will be fine…" Xu Que said.
"I will go with you," Situ said, holding her weapon, Fang Tian Ji, in her hand.
"You should stay here and help them. I am the protagonist of the upcoming show!" Xu Que touched his chest and smiled.
"I know that you are powerful. But how are you planning to get down there in the first place? It is too high! We haven't got any fabric wings here either, unless you make another set…" Situ said.
"I will just jump down. Have you ever heard of the Chinese Qinggong? If not, let me show you!"

404 You Have The Ball To Come Down? Yes! I Do!
Chapter 404: You Have The Ball To Come Down? Yes! I Do!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Before he jumped off, Xu Que purchased a book called 'Cloud Jump of Wudang Fraction' from the System, and quickly learnt and grasped the core idea of the book.
Then, he leapt forward and stood on the edge of the city wall!
Seeing this, all his fellow soldiers on the city wall were shocked, including Situ.
Does he really intend to jump off the city wall without using his True Core Strength?
When the soldiers of the Ice Troops saw this scene, they were stunned as well.
"Look! What is that wicked young guy going to do now?"
"He is just showing off!"
"Do you have the balls to jump?"
"If you do, then jump!"
Many soldiers of the Ice Troops began to shout at him. They thought that Xu Que was just showing off by standing at the edge of the city wall.
The General sneered. "He is really full of himself! I will cut him to pieces as soon as he gets down here!"
"That young guy does not have the balls to jump! He will be killed by our General if he comes down!"
"Wicked man! Come down and have a fair fight with us!"
"Come down!"
The bowmen also began to shout.
All of a sudden, around thirty thousand soldiers of the Ice Troops began to shout, their voices echoing around the whole mountain.
Hearing this, the soldiers of Snow City became worried and joined in the racket with their own admonitions. "Hero Zhuge, please do not jump off!"
"They are just trying to provoke you, do not jump!"
"Do not mind them! We should all just stay here, they cannot harm us on the city wall!"
"Yes! Hero Zhuge, do not jump!"
…
In the cave, Liu Jingning saw everything happen through the mirror. She sneered at the sight. "Jiang Hong Yan, do you think he has the balls to jump off? No matter how powerful he is, he cannot possibly defeat the thirty thousand people waiting on the ground!"
Hong Yan opened her eyes and smiled. "He will jump off!"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned. Then she laughed. "No way! You think too highly of him! Neither you nor I would be able to beat thirty thousand people in an area that strips us of our True Core Strength! It will be impossible for him too!"
"He will win!" Hong Yan said. Then she closed her eyes again.
Right at this moment, the restrictive enchantment behind Hong Yan had become very thin. It was about to break!
Liu Jingning stared at the mirror and sneered. "I don't think he has the balls to jump off! And even if he does, he will definitely be killed!"
…
Xu Que stood on the edge of the city wall. The wind was blowing, and his clothes were billowing out in the breeze. He looked extremely handsome and elegant.
Hearing what the soldiers of the Ice Troops were yelling, he sneered.
"Remember, you are the ones asking me to jump off! You will all regret this!"
He began to practise the King of Wushu technique. A magnificent, manly internal force began to flow all through his body! He stepped forward again, and jumped off.
"Hero Zhuge! Don't!" all the soldiers on the city wall exclaimed in fear.
The soldiers of the Ice Troops were euphoric..
"Good! He jumped off!"
"Everyone, go! Let's kill him!"
"He is asking for death!"
"Even if he is killed by the fall, we shall cut his body into pieces!"
"I will drink his blood and avenge my peers!"
…
In the cave, Liu Jingning was shocked. "He is... he is crazy! I cannot believe this!" Then after a moment, she began to sneer: "Jiang Hong Yan, you were right, he did indeed jump off! Still, he will be killed!"
Hong Yan opened her eyes and stared at the mirror.
She knew that Xu Que would not do anything dangerous if he was not completely sure of himself. Nevertheless, she was still a bit worried and wanted to see how he was going to turn the situation around.
After all, under the same circumstances, both she and Liu Jingning would certainly have ended up dead.
…
Xu Que was wearing a smile. He put his hands behind his back and gently moved his feet, as if he was walking in the air.
"Huh? Why he was falling so slowly?"
The soldiers of the Ice Troops were shocked.
"Sh*t! He is rising up!"
"He cannot use his True Core Strength, so how can he fly? Are my eyes deceiving me?"
"He just flew past me!"
"Shoot him! Shoot him now!"
Before, they had been about to kill him. They had never expected him to be able to fly!
The soldiers on the city wall were shocked.
"Hero Zhuge can fly?"
"How did he manage to do that?"
"He is really something!"
"How marvelous he is!"
…
Situ was so surprised that her eyes were wide open. Then she began to shout. "Hero Zhuge, be careful!"
All the bowmen of the Ice Troops were now targeting Xu Que. They were about to shoot him down!
In the blink of an eye, countless arrows were flying towards Xu Que.
"You guys are so impatient!" Xu Que smiled and began to concentrate all his masculine internal force in his palm!
Then he drew an arc in the air and shouted, "Flying Dragon in Heaven!"
All of a sudden, a dragon's roar sounded.
His palm was shining with golden light. A golden dragon suddenly flew out of his hands, immense and roaring as it darted its way towards the rain of arrows.

405 Utmost Victory
Chapter 405: Utmost Victory
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang!
The golden dragon quickly grew larger and larger, until it covered more than half of the sky.
All the arrows fell to the ground as if they had been swept away by a hurricane.
Everyone at present was shocked by this scene.
No one made any sound. The battlefield was completely silent.
"This...this is impossible!"
"No one can use his True Core Strength here, so how can he still be using magic inscriptions?"
"This isn't magic inscriptions! This is the technique of the mortals, Kung Fu!"
So this person is a cultivator… but can also practise the mortals' art of Kung Fu?
I have never seen a mortal's Kung Fu abilities like this… they can have such a magnificent effect! I mean, a golden dragon literally appeared!
In fact, this golden dragon had been created from Xu Que's internal force. A mortal's Kung Fu abilities however would not be as powerful as a cultivator's True Core Strength.
But the Kung Fu skill that Xu Que had just performed was already powerful enough to shock everyone at present.
Np one could use their True Core Strength here—and that made Xu Que seem all the more special.
"The great dragon is repentant!" Xu Que shouted.
The golden dragon turned around and flew towards the bowmen on the ground.
Bang!
The earth cracked. Dozens of bowmen were hit by its force and fell onto the ground, spitting blood.
"Run! Run!" the General shouted as he quickly backed away. He was very distressed. It would be impossible for him to launch a counterattack!
In reality, if they had access to their True Core Strength here, any cultivator of the Foundation Building Stage would easily be able to defeat Xu Que.
Seeing that the General had backed away, the bowmen all began to retreat as well.
"Come and fight against me! It is you who asked me to jump off! Do not run!" Xu Que shouted, landing on the ground.
The bowmen were running so fast that they almost fell over.
"General! Come and fight me! I'll even allow you to hit me first!" Xu Que shouted.
Earlier, the General had said that he would cut Xu Que into pieces if he dared to jump off the city wall. But oh, how the tables had turned. Now he was running away…
…
The soldiers atop the city wall were all stunned. Although Xu Que had already given them many surprises, this time they were so shocked that they almost passed out!
"Hero Zhuge is...amazingly powerful!"
"He alone has defeated the whole army!"
"I have never seen anything like this in my entire life! It is really scary!"
"What do you mean?"
"He is not only cleverer than us, but also more hard-working and knowledgeable than us. Don't you think that is scary?"
"Luckily, he is on our side! Otherwise, I would just kill myself… I would never choose to confront him!"
Situ took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Listen! Everyone, raise your Zhuge Repeating Crossbows!"
"Yes!" the soldiers of Snow City replied.
They all felt very confident now. Some soldiers of the Ice Troops were slowly marching towards the city wall. Seeing this, they began to shoot with the Zhuge Repeating Crossbows.
All of a sudden, countless arrows were flying towards them.
In the blink of an eye, more than half the soldiers were killed!
Nevertheless, since there were lots of soldiers of the Ice Troops, some of them still managed to reach to city wall.
Knowing that they had no backup, these Ice Troops had decided to have a final fight!
Situ ordered some soldiers to stay upon the city wall and keep shooting. Then she herself took two thousand soldiers with her and began to fight against the climbing enemies.
…
In the cave, Liu Jingning and Hong Yan had seen everything through the mirror.
Liu Jingning was speechless and her face was frozen in a mask of shock.
Hong Yan, however, smiled. She had already known that Xu Que would win, but she had ever expected Xu Que to use Kung Fu!
He is still his funny old self!
Then she closed her eyes again and concentrated on breaking the restrictive enchantments behind her.
Once she managed to break those restrictions, she would be able to leave the Holy Ground and go to another mysterious place.
That was the reason that she had chosen to stay here—she had wanted to enhance her abilities in seclusion.
In that other mysterious place, she would find the item that her mother had left to her, and the knowledge that could immensely enhance her skills…
…
However, Liu Jingning did not notice Hong Yan's actions and continued staring in the mirror.
Xu Que had caught up with the bowmen. Then he jumped up into the air and executed the Eighteen Dragon Palms!
Then, a magnificent internal force oozed out from his palm.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of bowmen were hit.
Then he took out a sharp sword from his system storage. He executed the Lone Nine Swords and killed many soldiers…
Then finally, he caught up with the General and hit him with the Eighteen Dragon Palms.
This General was in the Infant Transformation Stage, but now he could not fight back. After being hit by Xu Que, he fell to the ground and started to cough up blood.
"Do you really think you can run away?" Xu Que smiled.
The General wore an expression of despair. "As far as I am concerned, even a mortal would not be able to use Kung Fu at the skill level that you did!"
Xu Que smiled. "The Kung Fu I performed is called the Ultima Skin Monster of the Wicked Massage's Breaking Veins and Bones. Do you want to learn it? I shall not teach you!"

406 Risking Your Life To Eat The Ice?
Chapter 406: Risking Your Life To Eat The Ice?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The General was stunned.
"Wicked Massage?"
"Breaking Veins and Bones?"
"Ultima Skin Monster?"
"I f**king do not want to learn this!"
"If I were able to use my True Core Strength, I would definitely defeat you!" the General sneered.
Xu Que laughed. "Do you really think so? Ha, when I was four, I could already do fortune-telling. I knew that this day would come, so I worked very hard to learn Kung Fu…"
"You...you really are shameless!" The General was furious and began to cough.
The soldiers of the Ice Troops almost passed out when they heard Xu Que's words.
Fortune-telling? At four? So you're saying that you knew you would fight us one day when you were only four? You are shameless!
"You can kill me, but you cannot insult me! Despite everything, you are bound to lose!" the General sneered. He looked towards the city wall and continued speaking. "Did you really think you would win? Don't fool yourself! It would be almost impossible for you to beat us, since your side only has several thousand people! Even if we lose ten, twenty or thirty thousand people, we will still be fine. But the people on your side will be exhausted soon… and then we shall kill you all!"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the Ice Troops felt their spirits lift!
Yes! Even though we have lost so many peers, it does not mean that we cannot win!
We have got so many of us!
"Yes! You can kill us but you cannot insult us! Everyone listen, let's kill them all!" a young soldier shouted.
On the battlefield, shouting was one of the best ways to cheer up the soldiers.
…
In the cave, Liu Jingning saw all that was happening through her mirror, and sneered.
"It seems that they are not so useless after all. At least they know that they are far superior in numbers!"
Liu Jingning still did not believe that Xu Que could win, as there were too few people on his side.
"Jiang Hong Yan, why are you not looking now? Aren't you curious about the fate of the soldiers of the Snow City? Let me tell you what it will be… they will die of exhaustion! Ha!" Liu Jingning laughed.
Hong Yan opened her eyes and spoke gently, "And will you not go out and help them? Is it really worth it?"
"I don't care! Even if the soldiers on my side all die, it will be fine! I will make the Snow City mine at any cost! That young man will die!" Liu Jingning continued to laugh.
In reality, although the army of Ice Troops was very powerful, Xu Que had basically crushed them entirely. Liu Jingning had decided to give up this army.
Nevertheless, she wanted to see the exhausted soldiers on Xu Que's side getting killed by the soldiers on her side. She could not wait to witness it with her own eyes!
"You are too confident!" Hong Yan smiled and closed her eyes.
At that moment, a tiny vortex appeared in the restrictive enchantment behind her. It was moving slowly and becoming larger and larger.
…
Xu Que was amazed by the General's words!
Die of exhaustion? You really think that I would be foolish enough to not consider this?
"You are laughing?" the General was shocked. He begun to realize that things might be more complicated than he had though.
"Yes, I am laughing! So you really think my soldiers will be exhausted? Well, in fact, I am also very curious about this… so let's wait and see," Xu Que said, confidently looking at the city wall.
The battle on the city wall was getting more and more intense.
The city wall was soaked with blood and the dead bodies were piling up.
Soon, the soldiers of the Snow City began to feel very tired and their faces were getting paler and paler.
After all, killing people was very tiring.
"Kill them all!"
"They are getting tired now!"
"We will win!"
The soldiers of the Ice Troops shouted encouragement at each other.
They had survived the burning oil and the arrows, but unlike the soldiers of the Snow City who had been fighting with their weapons this whole time, the Ice Troops were not yet that exhausted.
So they felt very confident that they would win. Besides, they had gone through so much to reach to the city wall, they could not possibly give up now.
They had sworn to get revenge for their peers.
The badly injured General put his hand to his chest and sneered. "See? You will lose soon!" Then he shot Xu Que a bemused look.
Xu Que had suddenly taken out an ice lolly and put it into his mouth.
You b*stard! I am talking with you, so how dare you eat an ice lolly in front of me while I am speaking? Are you f*cking losing your mind? Do you always carry ice lollies with you or something?
At the same time, the exhausted soldiers of Snow City all took out their ice lollies as well and began to chew on them.
Seeing this, the marching soldiers of the Ice Troops were stunned.
What on earth are they doing? Are they crazy?
"Let's kill them all!" a soldier of the Snow City shouted suddenly.
His body trembled. Then all of a sudden, he became refreshed and energetic again!

407 Victory
Chapter 407: Victory
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Let's kill them all!"
"Let's kill them all!"
"Let's kill them all!"
The rest of the soldiers of the Snow City had all reclaimed their strength. They shouted loudly whilst eating their ice lollies.
The sound of them sucking on the ice lollies echoed through the air.
They felt very energetic, as if they had all just taken a dose of Viagra.
They stared at the soldiers of the Ice Troops and started to run towards them.
All the soldiers of the Ice Troops were stunned. Some of them were extremely terrified and could do nothing but fall back and slump onto the ground.
This is impossible!
Could it be possible that the ice has the power to help someone reclaim their strength?
All of a sudden, they turned around and began to run away, yelling, "Wveryone, go and eat some ice! It can help us reclaim out strength."
"The ice in the Snow Mountain must be magical ice!"
"There is a well over there, the ice inside must be very powerful!"
They began risking their lives to dig some ice up from the earth, not caring that the Snow City soldiers were approaching.
…
Seeing this, the General was shocked.
Obviously, the ice on the ground was different to the ice used in the ice lolly. The ice lolly had colors and a fragrant flavour.
"Do not be fooled!" the General shouted. "Attack them! The ice lolly is not made from the ice on the ground! You fools…"
As the voices of the soldiers of the Snow City were too loud, his own voice could not be heard.
The soldiers of the Ice Troops had descended into chaos.
Suddenly, the General spat out blood and fell onto the ground. He was deeply aggrieved and desperate!
He had never thought that he, a famous General of the Ice Troops, would be trapped in this sort of predicament.
Fifty thousand strong soldiers had been so easily destroyed by one young man and a few thousand ordinary soldiers!
"Face it!" Xu Que said. "You must want to know what the ice lolly is. Well, I'll tell you. It was made from oil, pig's skin, squid, banana and milk…"
He pressed his long sword against the General's chest, then stabbed him.
The General died!
…
The soldiers of the Snow City won.
Xu Que's Acting Tough Points increased, almost reaching forty thousand!
There were only a few hundred soldiers of the Ice Troops left. They were running around, trying to escape capture.
Just as Xu Que had said, every soldiers of the Ice Troops would be killed.
In the cave, Liu Jingning had become furious.
Crack!
She threw the mirror on the ground. The precious object shattered into pieces!
"Useless b*stards!" she cursed. "Jiang Hong Yan, who is that young man?" She stared angrily at the other woman.
Hong Yan slowly opened her eyes and smiled. "I told you that this would happen!"
"Tell me who that young man is!" Liu Jingning demanded.
"He comes from the Exploding Heavens Faction."
"Exploding Heavens Faction? I have never heard of that!" Liu Jingning frowned.
Since returning to Water Nation, she had been busy occupying all the big cities. She had had no time to care about anything that was happening outside of Water Nation.
Hong Yan said, "The old Killer God of Tian Sha was killed by him. At that time he was only at Level 8 of the Original Infant Stage."
"What?" Liu Jingning was totally stunned.
"And the Emperor of Fire Country was killed by him too."
Liu Jingning could not believe what she had just been told.
The Emperor of Fire Country and the old Killer God had both killed by him?
This is impossible! A young man in the Original Infant Stage managed to kill two powerful man in the Infant Transformation Stage?
Liu Jingning knew that Hong Yan would not lie to her, particularly as Liu Jingning would easily be able to send someone to Fire Country to verify the truth.
If this is true, then I shall catch him alive and send him abroad. The Banshee of the Utopia Faction will be very happy.
"I suggest that you give up the idea of trying to defeat him, he has got a powerful master that even we, members of the Jiang family, does not dare to provoke," Hong Yan said, as if she had already guessed what Liu Jingning was thinking.
Liu Jingning said in a low voice, "Who?"
"Duan Jiu De!"
Liu Jingning's face turned pale. She was speechless!
…
Right at that moment, the soldiers of the Snow City were sifting through the battlefield, trying to scavenge some weapons that they could still put to use.
Situ walked down the city wall and towards Xu Que, still licking her ice lolly.
The way she licked her ice lolly was very sensuous and seductive. Many soldiers were stunned by the sight and her beauty, and blushed.
They then lowered their heads and felt ashamed that they had though about Situ in such a way.
"Situ, why you are licking, not chewing the ice lolly?" Xu Que asked.
Situ replied, "This ice lolly is amazing. It tastes so good, so I want to savour it and enjoy it slowly."
"I see, it seems that you have a very flexible tongue. You would probably be great at giving blowjobs!"
"Huh?" Situ was confused. She did not know what Xu Que meant and replied politely, "Thanks, you too!"
"I—are you saying I'd be good at blowjobs too? Ha, well, yes. Apart from that, I am also great at handjobs. When I was in Fire Country, people even gave me a nickname for my skills at handjobs and blowjobs. If you are interested, I can show you!" Xu Que said shamelessly.
Situ became very curious and asked, "What is the nickname?"
Xu Que was amazed and said: "Twinkle Finger! Some also called me Jiateng Eagle on the Tony Ooki!"

408 You Are Mine!
Chapter 408: You Are Mine!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After some preparations, Xu Que and Situ finally departed for the Holy Ground.
"Hero Zhuge, I think we'd better be careful. It is likely that the Ice Queen will be in the Holy Ground!" Situ said.
She had already said this before.
Not very long ago, the Ice Queen had gone to Snow City and tried to win people to her side by offering them the prospect of very good rewards. She had been rejected, after which she went back to the Snow Mountain. She had not come back down since.
Now, the entirety of the Ice Troops had been destroyed. It was quite strange that she had not yet appeared.
"Maybe it is because she does not know yet what has happened. Or, perhaps she already knows... you and everyone else stay here, I will go myself!" Xu Que said in a low voice.
After all, even the powerful Water Empress had been trapped by the restrictions here. He would have to be careful.
"You want to go in by yourself?" Situ was stunned and she shook her head. "I cannot possibly allow you to! It's too dangerous inside. I shall go with you!"
"I'd rather you not."
Since Situ was not that powerful, she would not be much help to him if something dangerous happened. Hence Xu Que preferred the idea of going in alone.
"Hero Zhuge, do not worry about me! It is my duty to rescue the Water Empress!" Situ said firmly.
My God! I am not worrying about you, I am simply afraid that you will be a burden to me…
When he saw that Situ was quite determined, he had no choice but to begrudgingly agree.
He ordered the soldiers to wait outside, and entered the Holy Ground with Situ.
The Holy Ground was actually a cave made from ice that resembled an ancient temple carved deep into the mountain. The entrance was covered by thick snow. Although it looked slightly shabby, it also gave off the aura of a sacred place.
The two stopped at the entrance of the cave. In front of them, there was a huge ice door.
"There are only two ways to open the door. One requires the bloodline, the other requires this jade! I think the Ice Queen must have stolen a jade of this kind from one of the Water Empress's loyal officials!" Situ said, taking out her own piece o broken jade.
Xu Que also had a piece of jade himself. But since Situ had taken out hers, there was no need for him to do the same.
Situ puressed the jade against the door!
Bang!
A vortex appeared on the door. With the jade at its center, it began to grow larger and larger.
In the blink of an eye, the ice door became a wall of water.
Then suddenly, the jade was swallowed up and a circular space appeared.
"Hero Zhuge, please get in!" Situ said. She stepped into the space and took hold of the jade once more.
Xu Que followed her. Suddenly, the ice door closed behind them.
In front of them was a long, dark and gloomy path that seemed to have no end.
"Hero Zhuge, we'd better be careful. I have not been here before, so I am not familiar with this place either," Situ said with a very serious expression.
Xu Que shook his head. Upon entering, he had already ordered the System to scan this place. He had discovered that there were no restrictions here.
"Situ I have already checked and it is quite safe here. Al the restrictions have been destroyed. I guess it was the Ice Queen's doing," Xu Que said.
Situ was surprised. "Hero Zhuge, you checked this place already?"
Xu Que nodded and proudly said, "Remember, everyone of the Exploding Heavens Faction is versatile. We can do anything we want. If the thing we want does not exist in this world, we shall create it. If it exists in the world, we shall create something better than it. Our principle is 'fulfill your dreams with your hands'!"
Situ was stunned. "Amazing! I do envy you for coming from that faction!"
"Do not envy me! From the first moment I saw you, I realized that you were the kind of talent that my faction is in dire need of. You belong with us!" Xu Que said.
Since it was dim around, Situ did not see the look in Xu Que's eyes and was very surprised by his words. She then said, "I? I am a talent?"
"You absolutely are! Your soldiers are so loyal and courageous! You are so talented and good-looking, you are indeed a rare talent! Think about my proposal. I can give you an interview if you want," Xu Que said.
Situ laughed. "Thank you for your compliments! But as I am the general of the army of the Snow City, I cannot join you at this moment!"
"Well, I can just ask the Water Empress to sack you," Xu Que said.
"Please don't!" Situ was startled.
"It's fine, I don't think the Water Empress would mind. Don't worry, she would definitely let you go!"
"It's just... I…"
"Situ, I have said that we are like a family. There is no need to thank me for this."
"No, it's not like that. Listen to me…"
"Let's continue onwards for now. I think there is nothing more to say on this subject," Xu Que said.
Situ was speechless…
When did I say that I did not want to be the general of the army of the Snow City? When did I say that I wanted to join your faction? I have worked so hard to become general, and you are going to ask the Water Empress to sack me? And you want me to thank you for doing this?
Situ was so upset that she almost wanted to cry!
Xu Que had already walked away and had not given her the chance to explain.
When she caught up with him, she found Xu Que standing still at the end of the path.
In front of them was a huge open field shrouded in the light of a restrictive enchantment.
There was only a cushion in the center of the space.
"What is that?" Situ asked. Her eyes found a pile of broken mirror shards on the ground. From the look of the broken pieces, it was easy to tell that it had been shattered not very long ago.
"How strange. Who broke such a precious bronze mirror?" Situ asked in surprise.
Xu Que did not reply.
He stood still and looked at the cushion.
On the ground, a few words had been left for him!

409 You Should Have Dreams
Chapter 409: You Should Have Dreams
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Little chap, I have already left. Come and wait for me at the Imperial City.
Xu Que knew that these words had been left for him by the Water Empress. She was the only person in the Cultivation World who would call him 'little chap'!
"Well, really! She's still calling me little chap… she knows nothing about being respectful. Next time I see her, I shall teach her a lesson. Ha…" Xu Que murmured under his breath.
He had finally made it to the Snow Mountain and entered the Holy Ground. But both the Water Empress and the Ice Queen had already left. What a shame!
"The Water Empress has left some words for you!" Situ exclaimed, seeing the words on the ground. "Who is this 'little chap'? Is the Water Empress implying something?"
"I have no idea who this was written for either." Xu Que pretended to be confused. He would not let anyone else know about the Water Empress calling him 'little chap'. He would become a laughing stock.
Little chap? Seriously? I am a big guy and I have a big penis!
"Situ, now we know that the Water Empress has left this place safely. We must go down the mountain and to the Imperial City," Xu Que said seriously to Situ.
Situ nodded. "Right. Her Highness has said that she will be in the Imperial City in five days' time. We can take a rest for a day or two. After that, we will depart."
"What? You want to take a rest? No, we cannot, we do not have enough time!" Xu Que said, waving his hands.
"Hero Zhuge, there is a transportation array in the Snow City. It can send us directly to a city very close to the Imperial City. From there, it will only take us less than a day to arrive at the Imperial City," Situ said.
"That's not what I mean. What I want to say is that we should lead our soldiers in a march toward to the Imperial City. We should take back all the lost cities along the road within the five days. Hopefully we can aim to reclaim two cities per day," Xu Que said.
"What?" Situ was stunned.
Taking two cities back a day, to reclaim the whole Water Nation in five days? Are you joking? The Ice Queen spent almost ten days bribing all the nobles. She also had a very powerful army with her. And you want to take the city back within five days with just a few thousand soldiers?
Situ shook her head and said, "Hero Zhuge, you are joking right? With the number of soldiers we have and your help, it would already be a miracle if we managed to take back one city in five days…"
Yes, it was true that they had only a few thousand soldiers. If it had not been for the restrictions on True Core Strength and Xu Que's amazing inventions, they would never have managed to defeat the fifty thousand soldiers of the Ice Troops.
The restrictions had negated the effect of all the soldiers' True Core Strength—however, Xu Que had helped all the Snow City soldiers regain their strength with his ice lollies. Furthermore, the Kongming Lanterns and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbows had been vital tools. Without all these things, it would have been impossible for them to defeat the soldiers of the Ice Troops.
Throughout the rest of Water Nation and within the other lost cities, there would be no restrictions on True Core Strength. The soldiers of both sides would be able to use magic inscriptions to heal their wounds. Additionally, all the cities were under the protection of the Protection Array.
Situ would not possibly be able to lead the soldiers and take all the lost cities back… without Xu Que's leadership, at least.
But even with Xu Que's help, Situ thought that taking back one city would already be an extremely difficult thing to do.
"Situ, you should change your way of thinking. As a person, you should have dreams. A man without dreams is like a dead fish," Xu Que said.
Situ laughed. "Hero Zhuge, I just feel like we should not rush to take our lost cities back. Let's just focus on one city first and take it back within five days. I think the Water Empress would definitely be happy with that."
"Situ…" Xu Que said.
"Hero Zhuge, I believe that you are powerful! But as the General, I have to be responsible for my city and my soldiers."
Hearing this, Xu Que felt rather sad. In reality, he would totally be able to take back all of Water Nation by himself.
But if he wanted to take all the other lost cities back too, he would need at least a few thousand soldiers to help him. He wanted to present them as a big surprise to the Water Empress when she came back.
When he had been in the Tower of Souls, he had done many things to please the Water Empress, but the Water Empress had not shown him any appreciation.
That was why he was so eager to take all the lost cities back within five days. He wanted to please the Water Empress again.
But he had never thought that Situ would be so stubborn!
Xu Que then said, "Situ, you stay in the Snow City. I will take a few thousand soldiers with me to take a city back. If I fail to do that within a day, I will immediately come back to Snow City. Do you agree?"
Situ thought carefully and said, "How many people do you need?"
"Around three thousand. Do not mind the food and medicines, I have got enough for them," Xu Que said.
"Deal!" said Situ.
After all, he has said that he will come back if he fails to take a city back within a day.
But Situ had no idea that Xu Que was famous for breaking his own promises…
In fact, he had already decided that he would take all the lost cities back along the road to the Imperial City…
Soon, Xu Que and Situ went back down the mountain with the remaining soldiers of the Snow City.
That night, they held a party to celebrate their victory.
To Xu Que's surprise, Buttface had already sneaked into the city. He had shamelessly said that he had also made huge contributions to this battle, and that he deserved to be treated with delicious food.
The people in the city had known about Buttface, so they had all given food to him to eat.
He was eating happily when he suddenly heard that Xu Que had come back. Buttface groaned, and acted as if he was on the verge of death. "You... you finally came back. I was attacked on the way when I was fetching help for you. I am badly injured, so I had no choice but to come back..."
Xu Que coldly looked at Buttface and said, "Bring me the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow!"
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Buttface jumped up and shouted, "Stop! I have brought big news for you! It is about the Five Elements Mountain!"

410 Sextuple Seal
Chapter 410: Sextuple Seal
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"What?"
Xu Que was startled.
It is about the Five Elements Mountain?
"There are too many people here! Save me some embarrassment, I will tell you about it later in the day."
Buttface was not afraid of the arrows—he was afraid that Xu Que would shrink the collar around his neck by reading some magic inscriptions.
Xu Que sensed that Buttface was not telling lies. So he nodded and replied, "Then I will let you go for the sake of the people in this city."
Buttface said, "Thanks!"
No one knew that the Five Elements Mountain was actually made up of the Five Nations, and no one was interested in it. So everyone continued to enjoy themselves at the party.
…
When the party was over, Xu Que selected three thousand young and strong soldiers and began to make the preparations for tomorrow morning's departures.
Then he grabbed Buttface and headed to the castle residence.
Earlier, Situ had cleared a room for him. He went inside and threw Buttface on the ground. He closed the door and temporarily set up an array in case someone eavesdropped.
"Spit it out! What is the news about the Five Elements Mountain?" Xu Que said.
He had been wanting to know for a while what the legendary Great Sage had to do with the Five Elements Mountain. In the past, he had even asked the System to tell him about this, but the System had refused with the excuse that his level was too low.
That had only made him more curious about it.
Buttface slowly sat up and said, "Who are you, really? Why are you so interested in the Five Elements Mountain?"
"It's none of your business. Are you going to say it or not?" Xu Que was getting angry. He was about to read the magic inscription to shrink the collar around Buttface's neck.
Seeing this, Buttface hurriedly said, "When I went to find help, I was attacked by a huge ancient tree. I was knocked out, but when I woke up, I recalled something to do with the Five Elements Mountain."
"Then what?" Xu Que said impatiently.
He knew that he could not totally believe what Buttface had said. As for the ancient tree, it had to be a lie. He had likely just bumped into a tree by accident.
"There is sextuple seal in the Five Elements Mountain. Among them, five seals stand for the Dragon Veins of the Five Nations. Once a seal is opened, the effect of the seals as a whole will decrease. Now, you have already opened the Dragon Vein of Fire, and I opened the Dragon Vein of Metal, and someone called De or something opened the Dragon Veins of Wood and Earth. Now only the Dragon Vein of Water is still intact. If it is opened, something terrible will happen!" Buttface said.
When he said 'something terrible', his eyes glowed. Clearly, he liked to make mischief.
Xu Que said in a low voice, "The five Dragon Veins are the five seals. I recall that the black monkey I met earlier said that the effect of the seal is decreasing… and that is why their Zudi appeared at the border of Metal Nation. By the way, what is the last seal?"
"The last seal, well, it has not been recorded in detail in the ancient book. Someone said that it might be mysteriously located at the center of the Five Nations… someone also said that a certain restriction should be broken first. There is also a hilarious saying about this—but, well, I will just leave it."
"Say it!" Xu Que threatened.
Buttface said, "Someone once said that when the five Dragon Veins are all broken, the last Dragon Vein would be revealed if the rune at the top of the Five Elements Mountain is torn apart. How funny this is! I think the two sayings mentioned earlier sound more plausible."
"Shut up!" Xu Que said angrily.
In his view, the last saying sounded the most plausible.
In the fairytale, the Great Sage had been rescued when the Tang monk tore the rune off the Wuzhi Mountain.
There were so many different sayings about the Five Elements Mountain. Xu Que still thought there was a big chance that the Great Sage might be under the Five Elements Mountain.
"I have said what I wanted to say. I need to sleep now, please get out!" Buttface yawned.
Xu Que seized him and was about to throw him outside.
"What are you going to do with me? Let me go! You are hurting me!"
Bang!
Xu Que closed the door and walked to the end of his bed, not caring that Buttface was shouting outside.
After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "The Five Elements Mountain is really an interesting place."
…
It was getting very late. Xu Que was still awake. He summoned his System and started to make preparations for tomorrow's departures.
His Acting Tough Points had reached forty thousand. He wanted to make good use of them, since taking back the lost cities would please the Water Empress.
Then he bought many items from the System.
"This object is really good! This is good too! Haha, with the help of this object, we will easily win back the Water Nation in five days."
Crack!
The next morning, Xu Que opened the door.
Buttface was sleeping next to the doorstep. Xu Que did not even look at him and stepped on him.
"Ouch!"
Buttface woke up and was about to curse. When he saw Xu Que, he immediately shut up and followed him quickly.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, the three thousand strong soldiers were already there waiting for them.
They all looked very refreshed and energetic.Obviously, Situ had trained them well.
Knowing that Xu Que was their leader, they all felt very happy.
Situ and some other people were seeing them off.
When they saw Xu Que and Buffface walking towards them, they all saluted.
Situ nodded to Xu Que, signalling that everything had been prepared.
No food, no advanced equipment, no medicines—just three thousand soldiers.
Situ knew that it would be impossible for Xu Que to take one city back each day. She knew that he was not that experienced in the battlefield. Maybe after this attempt, he would be able to learn some lessons about battle.
Xu Que did not care about this at all. He had enough food and medicine in his storage.
"Good! We haven't got much time, so let's start now… but I want to say something first. If we fail to take one city back in a day, we will immediately come back to the Snow City. I have given my word to Situ."
"Yes sir!"
In fact, they all knew that they would not be able to take one city back in a day. It would already take them around a day to arrive at the Teleportation Device. They would at most have a warm-up fight with their enemies…
However, when they were transported to the city that was closest to Snow City, they were shocked.
Xu Que did not intend to camp here or spend time observing the enemies. He dashed right up to the city gate, yelling, "Kill them all!"
Seriously, what are you doing?
This is not how we thought it would be!

411 The Real War Had Come
Chapter 411: The Real War Had Come
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Blue Water City was one of the ten major cities of the Water Nation.
All ten major cities, apart from the Imperial City, were the largest cities in the land. If he could occupy all ten cities, he would have already occupied half the Water Nation.
Lu Wen was the governor of Blue Water City, and led an army of fifty thousand soldiers. He was highly respected amongst the officials of Water Nation.
He was lying on his bed and happily playing with a beautiful storage ring. Contained inside the ring were many treasures that had been gifted to him by the Ice Queen a few days ago.
He had betrayed the Water Empress and become a puppet of the Ice Queen.
That day, knowing that all nine other governors had already given in, he had agreed to defect to the Ice Queen's side with barely a second thought.
Moreover, he had been immensely happy to receive all those precious treasures.
Suddenly, a guard appeared and knelt down in front of his bedroom door. "Someone is about to attack the city!" the guard said.
Lu Wen was a bit surprised. Could it be the Water Empress?
He sat up and asked in a low voice, "Who and how many people in total?"
"A young man who is at Level 10 of the Infant Transformation Stage. He is accompanied by three thousand soldiers. I am not sure if he has other reinforcements," the guard replied.
Lu Wen was surprised.
A young man at Level 10 of the Infant Transformation Stage? Only three thousand soldiers?
He almost burst into laughter.
Clearly, he is asking to get killed. With only three thousand soldiers, how could he even hope to defeat us? Doesn't he know that I have fifty thousand soldiers?
"Do not mind him. Order five thousand bowmen to 'greet' them!" Lu Wen laughed.
Hearing this, the guard left.
At that moment, Xu Que and his three thousand soldiers arrived at the city gate.
He had no plans and no arrangements, he had simply dashed toward the city like a headless chick.
His three thousand soldiers were so terrified that they were on the verge of tears. But they had no other choice but to follow Xu Que.
The city gate was open, and all the citizens had hidden in their homes. Five thousand bowmen stood upon the city wall, aiming their arrows at Xu Que.
"Kill them all! Kill them all!" Xu Que shouted.
Buttface said, "Are you insane? Haven't you seen the bowmen?"
All the soldiers of Snow City freaked out. This setting was very different to that of the battle on the Snow Mountain. No one's True Core Strength was restricted. Each arrow would be able to kill a person instantly.
"What?" Xu Que looked upwards and suddenly paused.
Then he turned around and shouted, "Everyone! Leave now!"
Hearing this, the soldiers were completely stunned.
What?!
Leave?!
We haven't even started yet…
What are you even thinking?
Still, they had no choice but to follow his order, and began to back away.
Buttface was the one running the fastest. He shouted, "Everyone, run, or else you shall be punished!"
Then Xu Que smiled and took out a grenade from his pocket.
He pulled off the iron ring, turned around and threw it towards the city wall.
Seeing that all the soldiers were running away, the bowmen were confused. They had never been in a situation like this before.
"I saw that young man throw something toward us. Did you see what that thing is?"
"It's too small, I didn't catch it."
"Never mind. Out city wall is protected by the Protection Array."
"Someone should report this to the governor and tell him that the enemy has run away."
"I will go," a bowman said, preparing to depart.
Meanwhile the grenade struck the city wall, but was blocked by the light screen of the city wall.
Bang!
The grenade exploded. The force of the huge explosion shook the Protection Array slightly.
"What's going on? What hit the wall?"
"Never mind. It's fine, now the governor will probably be more willing to believe that we have gone through a tough battle."
The grenade had only shaken the Protection Array a little bit, and the soldiers of the Snow City had already left. The bowmen did not think too much about it.
…
"What on earth are you doing? I was about to fight a bowman!" Buttface asked.
Xu Que turned around to look at the Blue Water City and smiled. "I did it to make them think that we are just a group of sheep without a shepherd. Then they will lost interest in us, and we shall take the opportunity to officially attack them!"
"Really?" Buttface frowned, wearing an expression of disbelief. He had seen Xu Que throw something mysterious towards the city wall.
Xu Que smiled again and said, "Now, I believe you have all had a good warm-up. I now know how strong the Protection Array is."
"What?"
Many soldiers of the Snow City were still confused.
We just had a warm-up? He threw that thing to test how strong the Protection Array is?
"Everyone, listen carefully!" Xu Que started to give orders. "I am going to divide you into four groups! Now hurry up! Group One will drive the tank—I will show you how to drive it later. Group Two will be responsible for the Rocket Gun, go wait on the left side. Group Three is responsible for the God-Powered Cannon, go wait on the right side. As for Group Four, I will teach you how to fly the helicopter and how to drop bombs or fire a machine gun whilst flying the helicopter."
Then he looked at Buttface and said, "As for you, you can carry around several tons of bombs. If you dare run away again, I will boil you into soup!"

412 You Have All Been Surrounded By The Exploding Heavens Faction
Chapter 412: You Have All Been Surrounded By The Exploding Heavens Faction
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Several tons of bombs?
Hearing this, Buttface was shocked and his eyes bulged.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Go do some warm-ups, otherwise you'll have cramps later!" Xu Que patted him on his head.
Buttface sat on the ground and said rudely, "Hang me!"
"Oh, do you really want me to? Sure!" Xu Que said.
"Stop!" Buttface suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Are you serious?"
"Anyone who disobeys me shall be hanged!" Xu Que looked at the soldiers.
Hearing this, the three thousand soldiers quickly formed the four groups and stood n line.
"We are already prepared. Please give us orders!" a soldier shouted.
Xu Que nodded and looked at Buttface. "So, carry the bombs or be hanged. Which do you prefer?"
"I will only carry a maximum of ten tons! Period!" Buttface said.
"No way. You have to at least carry twenty tons!"
"How?"
"You just need to come and go a few times! By the way, you won't be killed or anything, why are you so afraid?"
"Look at me! Last time you set fire to my butt, and even now it is still bare!" Buttface snarled, turning around and showing Xu Que.
Xu Que struck him on the behind, cursing. "F*ck! Cover your butt, I am not interested in f*cking your ass! Fine! You shall carry at least ten tons!"
"Deal!" Buttface said reluctantly.
Then Xu Que took out from his storage all the high-tech weapons he had bought from the System.
Everyone there was stunned. They all took a deep breath.
They had never seen weapons like these in their entire lives, and it was obvious that these weapons were very powerful.
Ten helicopters of the latest design had just appeared on the ground, alongside ten tanks.
It was costing him about 500 Acting Tough Points per day to rent these weapons.
But to please the Water Empress, Xu Que would not mind suffering this cost.
"Anyone who wants to ride the helicopter, please step forward."
Around a hundred smart guys from Group Four stepped forward. Xu Que spent another hundred Acting Tough Points on a sped-up educational programme that would help them learn to operate a helicopter in a short time!
After a while, he taught around a hundred soldiers from Group One how to drive a tank.
As for the Rocket Gun and the God-Powered Cannon, they were easier to use. Xu Que had rented ten Rocket Guns from the System, which would cost him 300 Acting Tough Points per day. The God-Powered Cannon, well, that had been made by Xu Que himself. He had managed to make ten of them earlier that day.
Then he put the two hundred people from Group Four and Group One into a pairs. There were now a hundred groups of two.
Xu Que was aware of a bug with the System—as long as a certain object was rented daily, no matter how severely damaged it might be, he would always be able to exchange it for a new one for free.
So Xu Que was not worried that the helicopters or tanks might get damaged during the battle.
"Are you ready?" Xu Que asked.
"Yes, sir!" everyone replied together.
"Good! Now fire the God-Powered Cannon and Rocket Gun to provide cover for those who are driving the helicopters and tanks!" Xu Que ordered as he waved his hands.
Meanwhile, ten tanks were beginning to crawl forward, and ten helicopters were taking off.
"How amazing this is! I want to operate the helicopter too!" Buttface said enviously.
Xu Que looked at him and smiled. "If you manage to carry all the bombs to the city wall, I will permit you to fly one."
"Promise!" Buttface said happily.
Then Xu Que took out two thousand camouflage uniforms, as well as two thousand pairs of sunglasses. He handed them out to the remaining soldiers.
"Put them on and follow me!"
All of a sudden, they all started to put on the camouflage uniforms.
"Once you've got the uniform on, the enemy will find it very difficult to distinguish you from the terrain, since the print on the fabric blends in very well."
The helicopters and tanks were about to reach to the city wall. Seeing this, Xu Que quickly ran towards the city wall along with Buttface.
He had already tested the Protection Array and realized that it could be destroyed with modern weapons. That was why he had ordered Buttface to carry ten tons of bombs with him.
Xu Que smiled. "Hurry up. Put all the bombs in the corners of the city wall, and remember—don't make it too obvious."
"No problem!" Buttface got very excited.
Xu Que felt very happy about this. He secretly installed some extra switches on the remaining bombs.
Meanwhile, the soldiers who were operating the helicopters and tanks were waiting for Xu Que's orders.
Xu Que started to lay the Rocket Guns and the God-Powered Cannons down in front of the city wall.
Seeing him, the soldiers on the city wall were surprised.
"What's going on?"
"Why he is here again?"
"He has brought so many peculiar weapons with him this time."
"Look at that flying iron object, what is that?"
"Go and inform the governor!"
…
Xu Que took out a megaphone and shouted at the soldiers, "Hello! Listen! You have been surrounded by the Exploding Heavens Faction. Now put down your weapons and hand over all your treasures and women! Surrender!"

413 I Do Admire Your Courage
Chapter 413: I Do Admire Your Courage
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que's voice echoed in the air.
The soldiers of Blue Water City were stunned.
We have been surrounded?
Hand over our treasures and women?
Is he a bandit or something?
How dare he do this to us in broad daylight? He is really asking for trouble.
The next minute, they all laughed.
"Ha, he really is stupid for attempting to loot us!"
"Can you see all those peculiar items he has brought with him? I do not feel any Qi coming from them, so he is just putting on a show!"
"I think they must be some random useless objects!"
"Attention! The governor just gave the order that the Qian Hu will lead us to fight against these soldiers and kill them all."
"Once they get close to the city wall, we shall shoot them to death."
…
All of a sudden, the whole of Blue Water City began to prepare for a fight.
Xu Que gave orders to the soldiers who were driving the helicopters and tanks. "Stay where you are. Don't get too close to the city wall and wait for my signal."
"Yes!"
"If I fail to take the Blue Water City back within two hours, I do not deserve to be called 'Zhuge'."
…
Meanwhile, at Snow City, Situ was sitting in the residences and feeling rather upset and worried.
The old man in white, her Second Uncle, came to her and asked, "Situ, why are you unhappy? Are you concerned that Hero Zhuge might fail?"
"I am worried that he will try and use force to take back Blue Water City. I know he will be fine, but I am afraid that victory might cost us the lives of three thousand soldiers. This whole situation has happened because of my own lack of consideration… I should not have let him go!" Situ sighed.
The old man was silent for a while. Then he spoke. "Should I send more soldiers out to help them? Or should I just ask them to come back?"
"Well. send someone over to see how they are going. If something is wrong, ask them to come back immediately."
…
At Blue Water City, Xu Que was still shouting at the soldiers through his megaphone.
"Ten seconds have passed already. Are you going to surrender or not? If you do not intend to surrender, then come out and fight! Do not waste my time, I have a tight schedule today! I need to take the Yun Luo City back by the end of the day, as well as the Shen Hai City if time allows!"
Hearing this, both the people inside and outside the city were shocked.
The Blue Water City, the Yun Luo City and the Shen Hai City made up the ancient cities of the Water Nation.
Are you crazy? Taking back three cities in one day?!
Bang!
The city gates were flung open. Thousands of soldiers dashed out, their horses running at a rapid pace and kicking dirt up into the air.
They were lead by a few Qian Hus, cultivators who were all in the highest stage of the Infant Transformation Stage. They were as powerful as Xu Que. They also had the power of numbers.
Currently, only Xu Que and the soldiers in the tanks and helicopters were here. The other two thousand soldiers were still getting prepared in their camouflage uniforms.
"How dare you act so arrogant. I will teach you a lesson today," one of the Qian Hus laughed.
Once they had come reached the halfway point between both sides, Que suddenly shouted, "Fire at them!"
All of a sudden, the soldiers in the helicopters began to fire. The sound of gunshots echoed through the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The soldiers in the tanks also began to fire.
However, bullets did not damage the Qian Hus. After all, they were all cultivators who were in the Core Bearing Stage and the Golden Core Stage.
Faced with a rain of bullets, the soldiers of the Blue Water City read out some magic inscriptions and blocked all the bullets.
"Ha, I overestimated him!" a Qian Hu laughed. The rest of the soldiers joined in.
Buttface suddenly came back and asked, "What are you doing? They cannot be hurt by bullets. Can't you see that?"
"Shut up! They cannot use their True Core Strength forever. It will dry up." Xu Que meant to create more time for himself.
"What?! You mean you yourself haven't used any True Core Strength yet? I mean, what about all the helicopters and stuff?" Buttface asked in surprise.
"Of course I haven't. By the way, our bullet supply will never dry up." Xu Que laughed.
Hearing this, Buttface got very excited and continued to transport the bombs. He was very good at digging holes, and no one had spotted him just yet.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of Blue Water City were now marching towards Xu Que.
…
Right at that moment, the other two thousand soldiers of Snow City arrived.
They were all wearing sunglasses and looked very modern.
As soon as they arrived, they were stunned by what they saw.
One soldier said, "It seems like the bullets aren't working at all…"
"Shut the f*ck up, you know nothing about this. Now watch carefully. I will teach all of you how to use the God-Powered Cannon."
Xu Que stuffed a Spirit Stone into the God-Powered Cannon from behind and began to move the Taoist Seal.
Everyone felt a bit ridiculous. They doubted the black God-Powered Cannon would make any difference.
The marching soldiers of Blue Water City laughed again when they saw what Xu Que was doing.
"Haha. Look! That young man is trying to hit us with the cannon."
"How old-fashioned."
"He must be a fool. Attacking cultivators with a cannon?"
"Idiot!"
…
Xu Que did not reply and continued to move the Taoist Seal.
Suddenly, he stopped. His palms were shining in golden light. Then he struck the cannon.
Bang!
The God-Powered Cannon was activated. The runes on its surface began to shine.
Xu Que sneered and stared at the marching soldiers. He laughed. "I do admire your courage. Now, I'm going to send you all to hell!"
The next minute, all the God-Powered Cannons began to shine. The light was so bright…
A huge ray of golden light was created, and it was about to hit the marching soldiers...

414 Kill You All
Chapter 414: Kill You All
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang!
Seeing the bright golden light, the marching soldiers all closed their eyes. The light quickly passed through them.
Everyone was so afraid that their heads felt numb.
The three thousand soldiers from Snow City were shocked. Their mouths hung wide open.
Although they were wearing sunglasses, they clearly saw the marching soldiers from Blue Water City vanished before their eyes as the light passed through them.
The soldiers of Snow City were completely stunned. This was beyond their wildest imaginings.
…
Soon, the light dimmed.
The surviving soldiers of the Blue Water City opened their eyes. When they realised that they were still intact and alive, they laughed.
But the next moment, their smiles froze.
All their peers in the middle of their formation had vanished.
Where did they go?
Did they get lost?
There were only around three thousand soldiers of Blue Water City left on the battlefield. They were confused and looked around, trying to find their lost peers.
"Where did the Qian Hus go?"
"They were here!"
"Can it be possible that we are lost?"
All of a sudden, the soldiers descended into chaos.
Meanwhile, Xu Que and the three thousand soldiers of the Snow City were laughing. They had seen the Qian Hus vanish along with many other soldiers.
"Don't bother trying to find them. They are all deed. I heard that you have five thousand people or so, tell them to come out and don't waste my time," Xu Que shouted.
The soldiers of Blue Water City were stunned.
All dead?
This is impossible!
No one believed what they had just been told.
"Come back! Come back!" shouted the soldiers still inside the walls of Blue Water City.
The soldiers outside the walls turned back and saw their peers shouting at them. Their peers had witnessed that terrible scene very clearly, and were already freaked out.
With just one shot, thousands of soldiers as well as all the Qian Hus had vanished.
"Let's go back to the city."
The soldiers of Blue Water City all felt like there was something wrong. They all quickly ran back towards the city.
"Stop! I did not say that you could run away! Anyone who dares to move another step will be hit with the cannon!" Xu Que shouted through the megaphone.
Hearing this, they all stopped running. They were so terrified that their faces had all turned pale.
The three thousand soldiers of Snow City were filled with admiration.
"Hero Zhuge is so great!"
No one else could be as courageous as he was. They had only three thousand soldiers on their side, whilst the other side had fifty thousand.
But no one else could measure up to Xu Que's prowess and leadership. Just a few words from him could have thousands of soldiers quaking in their boots.
…
They all felt very proud to be part of this battle and to be led by Xu Que.
"Where is the governor? Has he fallen into the toilet? Tell all your soldiers to come out, I don't have time to play with you guys," Xu Que shouted. He wanted to take two more cities down by the end of the day, so he could return the ten helicopters and ten tanks.
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 420 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 450 Acting Tough Points!"
…
System notifications continued to ring in his head.
Meanwhile, all of Blue Water City was in chaos.
Lu Wen's expression was visibly upset—he looked like a bomb that was ready to explode at any moment.
"Useless trash! They have only three thousand soldiers and a few cannons, but you're already frightened? Don't forget that we have fifty thousand soldiers," Lu Wen shouted. He was now wearing his armour. "Tell the soldiers to get prepared. I am going to teach that young man a lesson and show him how powerful we are!"
"Yes!" a guard answered before departing.
After a while, all the citizens left the city wall. There were now around forty thousand soldiers standing behind the city wall.
Meanwhile, all the bowmen still atop the city wall prepared to shoot.
Lu Wen stood atop the city wall and watched the battlefield for a while. Then he gave orders. "All Qian Hus, take your soldiers out and fight against them! You should attack him from all directions, since his cannon can only fire in one direction."
"Yes!"
The next minute, around three thousand Qian Hus rode out on their horses and left the city.
They formed around thirty small teams, each team with around a hundred people.
"How is everything going? I heard a huge explosion before," Buttface asked.
Xu Que did not have time to explain and said, "Go and carry the bombs to the city wall. When you're done with that, I will give you a tank to drive."
"Great!" Buttface got excited again.
Seeing the enemies marching towards him, Xu Que smiled.
"I knew you would do this! Soldiers in tanks and helicopters, fire now! Aim at them with the Rocket Gun! Adjust the direction of the God-Powered Cannon!"
The soldiers of the Snow City replied, "Yes!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The soldiers of Blue Water City were hit by multiple bombs. They could only shield themselves by using their True Core Strength. Their marching speed decreased as a consequence.
But all of a sudden, a bomb fell into the crowd from the sky and destroyed their formation.
Bang!
The God-Powered Cannon shot out another ray of golden light. The light flew across the crowd and killed everyone who was in the Original Infant Stage or below.
…
Seeing this, Lu Wen's expression grew darker and darker.
The war had just started, but he had already lost tens of thousands of soldiers…
He then said in a low voice, "Ask the soldiers to come back! Activate the City Protecting Array, I will personally destroy those cannons."
"Yes!" a guard answered and went to strike a bronze bell.
All of a sudden, the sound of the bell echoed through the area..
The soldiers heard the sound and shouted to each other. "We should immediately go back to the city!" Then they turned around and dashed back to the city.
"Hero Zhuge, we should take this opportunity to kill them!" a soldier said.
Xu Que sneered. "There is no need. We have put plenty of bombs beneath the city wall. Once they go back to the city, we shall kill them all! Aim your cannons at the city wall. Once the city wall falls apart, fire!"

415 Bomb The Blue Water City
Chapter 415: Bomb The Blue Water City
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing this, all the soldiers were stunned.
Hero Zhuge already knew that they would retreat? And that is why he asked Buttface to lay out the bombs beneath the city wall?
Now once the bombs explode, the city wall will crumble and many people will die. After that, we will definitely be able to take this city back.
Realizing this, the soldiers of Snow City all took a deep breath.
How great Hero Zhuge is! Everything is under his control…
In fact, Xu Que was simply acting according to his personal creed, which was 'simple and direct'.
"Have you all learned how to use the God-Powered Cannon? Remember, do not target the wrong person." Xu Que held up his megaphone and began to order everyone to get prepared.
Many soldiers jumped forward and shouted, "Hero Zhuge, I know how to operate it!"
"Me too."
"And me."
…
Soon there were plenty of soldiers manning the nine God-Powered Cannons.
Xu Que asked a soldier to man his own God Powered Cannon, before walking over to the area where the Rocket Guns were.
Compared with the God-Powered Cannon, the Rocket Gun was easier to use. One simply needed to fill the gun with explosives, and that was it.
Whilst the rest of the soldiers were learning how to use the Rocket Gun, Xu Que happily walked to the back of his army. Then he took out a switch.
He stared at Blue Water City, watching as their soldiers ran back to the city.
"Hurry up! We shall all be killed if we do not run quickly," they were yelling.
…
Everyone was running very fast, afraid of being the next person to be hit by a bomb.
In fact, Xu Que did not want to kill them all. After all, they were all soldiers of the Water Nation. If he killed them all, the Water Empress would not have enough soldiers to help her protect this country after the fighting was over.
"Why have you stopped?" Buttface asked.
"You will see. Now carry the last pile of bombs to the city wall," Xu Que said.
"No problem! No one has spotted me yet."
"Hurry up. There's no time for bullsh*t."
"Yes!" Buttface lifted up another pile of bombs that was heavier than his own body weight. He then dashed to the city wall.
Meanwhile, almost all the soldiers of Blue Water City had retreated back to the city.
The bowmen on the city wall were still looking closely at the battlefield. Suddenly, a bowman spotted Buttface and shouted, "Look, a dog is running towards us! There is something on its back."
"F*ck! I am a wolf! Not a dog!" Buttface cursed.
"How dare you! You are asking for trouble!"
"This monster must belong to that young man, I saw them talking with each other."
"He, a human, has a connection with a monster? I cannot believe it!"
"Out governor has begun to activate the City Protection Array. Soon every living creature outside these walls will be killed."
The soldiers on the city wall sneered.
Buttface was so angry that he kept barking at them.
Seeing this, Xu Que shouted with his megaphone, "Hurry up, you fool!"
"I have been seen! Do I still need to get inside?" Buttface was afraid and did not want to get inside.
Realizing that time was up and there were probably already enough bombs beneath the city wall, Xu Que then said, "Fine, don't get in then, stand where you are and do not move."
"What?" Buttface was stunned and realized something was wrong.
"Just do not move!" Xu Que said while playing with the switch in his hand.
"Are you kidding? I think you are plotting something."
"I am serious, do not move."
"No, you have to tell me what is really going on!"
"Wait a sec, haha, now I see where the ON button is!"
"What?!"
"Buttface, what do you want to say to the world?" Xu Que held up the switch in his hand and smiled.
Buttface finally realized that there was still a pile of bombs on his back. He began to wriggle, trying to shake off the cargo.
"F*ck! Wait a while."
"You are really rude!" Xu Que pressed the ON button.
Bang!
The bomb on the dog's back exploded, and Buttface was flung against the city wall. The next moment, the whole city wall began to tremble and crumble into pieces. The light screen on the city wall began to break…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Soon, the city wall crumbled completely. The light screen turned into a ball of Qi and disappeared.
"Now, fire!" Xu Que waved his hands.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The whole city wall was smothered in a rain of cannon fire.
Most of the soldiers on the city wall were dead.
"Now follow me," Xu Que shouted.
"Kill them all!" the soldiers of the Snow City shouted all together.
…
Lu Wen was about to activate the City Protecting Array. He suddenly realized that a ray of golden light was shooting towards him. He backed away and saw the soldiers around him getting killed by the light.
"Sh*t! Send the signal to Yun Luo City!" he shouted.
Suddenly, Lu Wen felt cold and turned around.
A sharp sword cut through his throat...

416 We Will Not Take Anything
Chapter 416: We Will Not Take Anything
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"What is this?"
Lu Wen was surprised and his eyes were wide open.
Can it be the Killer God's Single Stroke?
In a split second, the sword cut through his throat.
He did not have time to react. The light in his eyes disappeared.
With just one cut, he had fallen!
The Killer God's Single Stroke was the quickest way to kill a person. Once one mastered this sword, they would easily be able to kill a person who was at the same level as themselves.
For Xu Que, it was not difficult for him to kill Lu Wen, who was in the Infant Transformation Stage, as the System had already helped him master the sword.
Xu Que had waited for this moment for a long time. Once the city wall was broken, he could kill anyone he want.
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for killing an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator. The reward is 1,000,000 Experience Points and a Storage Ring!"
"Ding! You have been rewarded with 410 Acting Tough Points!"
"Ding! You have been rewarded with 430 Acting Tough Points!"
…
The notifications kept on ringing.
Xu Que cut off Lu Wen's head and jumped into the air.
He took a deep breath and shouted, "Lv Wen has died, you'd better surrender!"
His voice echoed in the air.
The soldiers of Blue Water City suddenly turned around and saw Xu Que holding Lu Wen's head in his hand. Blood was dripping onto the ground and Lu Wen's face was still wearing an expression of shock.
All of a sudden, the soldiers freaked out.
The governor has died?
This is impossible!
The city wall just collapsed a few minutes ago, and the governor has been killed?
That young man is just at Level 10 of the Infant Transformation Stage, how did he manage to do this?
"Kill them all"
Meanwhile, the three thousand soldiers of Snow City had reached the city.
The soldiers in the helicopters and tanks all set their sights on the surviving soldiers of Blue Water City. The Rocket Guns and the God-Powered Cannons were aimed at them as well.
"Anyone who surrenders now shall not be killed," Xu Que shouted.
"Anyone who surrenders now shall not be killed," the soldiers of Snow City shouted proudly and excitedly.
They had never thought that they could take this city back so easily and quickly. Of course they would never have been able to do this without Xu Que.
The soldiers of Blue Water City were almost frightened to death.
They finally realized that this army made up of only three thousand soldiers was in reality terrifyingly powerful, and this was all because of one extremely powerful young man.
"I surrender!"
"Me too!"
"We were just doing what the late governor told us to do. Now that he is dead, I surrender."
…
Suddenly, the soldiers of Blue Water City all threw away their weapons and surrendered.
No matter what, they were still soldiers of the Water Nation, it was Lu Wen who had betrayed the Water Empress, not them.
Now that Lu Wen had died, Xu Que had taken the commander's seal from his Storage Ring.
"I am Zhuge Liang and I have come to reclaim the lost cities of the nation for the Water Empress' sake. Now that you have all surrendered, I will agree to let you go. But you have to rebuild the city wall. Anyone who dares to stand against me shall be killed immediately!" Xu Que shouted as he stood on the city wall.
"Yes!" the soldiers of the Blue Water City replied.
Xu Que nodded happily. Then he threw away Lu Wen's head and turned to the soldiers of the Snow City. To them, he shouted, "Now we shall take Yun Luo City back! Follow me!"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
The soldiers of Snow City had intended to have a party to celebrate their victory. They had thought that Xu Que was just joking when he said he wanted to take back Yun Luo City as well. They didn't know that he really meant it.
"Yes! We shall follow you and take Yun Luo City back!" all the soldiers shouted excitedly.
The surviving soldiers of Blue Water City were completely stunned.
This young man is crazy! So are his soldiers.
Yun Luo City is also…
…
"Good! But before we leave, we have something important to do! Looting! Now everyone go and loot only the governor's residences! Remember, only the governor's residences! Anyone who dare to loot houses of innocent citizens shall be killed," Xu Que said.
Is this really the man sent by the Water Empress? I think he is more like a bandit!
Anyway, if he is a bandit, he is at least a good bandit. There aren't many bandits like him nowadays.
The soldiers in Blue Water City did not stop them from looting the governor's residences.
The soldiers of Snow City did not break into the residences, but politely knocked on the door.
The maids and servants, as well as Lu Wen's concubines, all freaked out. They had heard that their home was going to be looted and could not understand why the bandits were knocking on their door instead of just breaking into the buildings.
"Hero Zhuge, why not just break in?" a soldier suggested.
Xu Que said seriously, "We fight for justice. If we break into the house, we would be no different from bandits!"
But… if you are going to loot the governor's house, doesn't that make you a bandit anyway?
"Everyone inside the house, listen. I was just joking, I cannot possibly loot your home. I just want to get inside and have a check, it's all formality. I promise we will not take your needles and threads away." Xu Que knocked on the door.
The soldiers were shocked.
So we are not going to loot their house? Then why did we come here?
Is he serious?
…
The people inside the house were also stunned. They began to wonder if he was joking or not.
After all, he has been sent by the Water Empress. The Water Empress is generous and kind, the people who follow her must also be very generous and kind.
"Open the door," a concubine said to a male servant.
The servant nodded and opened the door.
Xu Que stood there, smiling like a gentleman.
Then he said, "Now, everyone enter and take away everything except for their needles and threads!"

417 They are Invincible; They Come From Hell!
Chapter 417: They are Invincible; They Come From Hell!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
How long does it take to loot a governor's residences?
Well, the three thousand soldiers of Snow City needed only a few seconds…
Xu Que had said that they could take anything they wanted, apart from the needles and threads.
In just a few seconds, they had emptied the whole residence.
Xu Que was very satisfied, and the soldiers felt immensely happy as they had acquired many precious treasures. As for Xu Que, he had obtained a storage ring from Lu Wen.
Then he and the soldiers began to march to the teleportation device in the middle of the Blue Water City.
All ten cities were connected by a teleportation device, which saved Xu Que lots of time.
Xu Que activated the device and left Blue Water City with his soldiers.
The soldiers in Blue Water City were relieved, and felt a bit sorry for Yun Luo City.
Half an hour later, Xu Que arrived outside Yun Luo City. They did not spend any time setting up camps outside the city, and instead went directly towards it.
The soldiers of Snow City carefully laid out all their Rocket Guns and God-Powered Cannons, and continued operating their helicopters and tanks.
The patrollers of Yun Luo City were terrified.
…
Meanwhile, in Blue Water City, Buttface crawled out from the ruins of the city wall. He was still intact. Then he began to curse. "F*ck! How dare you! I will kill you!"
He ran through the city like a mad dog. After a while of not being able to find Xu Que, he asked a soldier and found out that Xu Que had already gone to Yun Luo City.
He was furious and stole some Spirit Stones from a soldier.
With the help of the Spirit Stones, he managed to activate the teleportation device and set out to Yun Luo City himself.
A few seconds later, a man in white and a few soldiers arrived at Blue Water City.
It was Situ's Second Uncle, Situ Wu.
He was worried that the soldiers would fail to persuade Xu Que to go back, so he had gone with them. He had also asked the soldiers to wear plain clothes in case they were seen by others.
As soon as they arrived at the Blue Water City, they were totally shocked.
The city wall had been turned to ruin, and the soldiers were all busy shifting the rubble away.
Situ Wu said, "Crap! Have they all been killed by Lu Wen?"
"I think there is a great chance that such a thing might have already happened. I heard that Lu Wen is very wicked and cruel, and it would be easy for him to kill just three thousand soldiers."
"I do not think so, maybe Hero Zhuge has managed to retreat."
"What are we going to do? Should we go back and report this to Situ?"
"Wait a moment!" Situ Wu waved his hands. He spoke seriously, "No one can recognize us right now. We'd better ask someone to see what has happened. Maybe Hero Zhuge is just being imprisoned somewhere."
"Right, we'd better ask some locals," a soldier agreed.
A soldier of Blue Water City walked past them. Situ Wu stopped him and asked politely, "It is our first time coming here, would you mind telling me what has happened here?"
The soldier said bitterly, "We just had a big war, it's lucky that you guys weren't here, otherwise you might have been injured. Those people are really powerful!"
"What?"
Situ Wu and the soldiers of Snow City were stunned.
What does he mean?
They are really powerful? Is he referring to Hero Zhuge and his soldiers?
The soldier then said, "You'd better get inside, we have to rebuild the city wall in five days. Otherwise General Zhuge will hang us on the city wall and touch our penises…"
Then he sighed and left…
Situ Wu and the soldiers were stunned.
General Zhuge? He calls Hero Zhuge General Zhuge?
Why is he saying that? Hasn't Zhuge lost?
Then they stopped another soldier and asked him again.
After finding out what had transpired, they were amazed.
In one hour…
They took this city back in one hour and killed Lu Wen?
And now they are heading to Yun Luo City?
My goodness! What on earth does he want to do? How has he managed to do all this?
After a while, Situ Wu finally collected himself and said: "Xiao Wu, go back to Snow City and report this to Situ. I will go to Yun Luo City and to see what is happening there. We are witnessing the birth of a General who is going to be remembered for all eternity. Hero Zhuge is really powerful!"
"Yes!" Xiao Wu powered up the teleportation device and went back.
Meanwhile, Situ Wu and the rest of the soldiers used the teleportation device to head towards Yun Luo City.
When they arrived at Yun Luo City, they were shocked by what they saw.
Yun Luo City was in ruins, just like the Blue Water City…
Still, they could not see Xu Que or the soldiers of Snow City. They could only see some Yun Luo City soldiers carrying away the rubble and rebuilding the city wall.
"This... this is unbelievable!" a soldier said.
Obviously, Xu Que had taken back Yun Luo City in less than an hour!
"I need to talk with one of the locals," Situ Wu said. He still could not believe what he was seeing.
A soldier of the Yun Luo City cried and described the army of Snow City as if it had been an army of Devils, with Xu Que as their leader.
He called them invincible, like an army from hell. Then he told Situ Wu that they were heading to Shen Hai City.
A few soldiers of Yun Luo City looked into the distance and stood in silent tribute for Shen Hai City.

418 Miracles Can Happen More Than Once!
Chapter 418: Miracles Can Happen More Than Once!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was snowing at Snow City.
The whole city was covered by thick snow. It was very quiet in the residence of the governor.
Situ stood next to the attic window. She was holding a military book and watching the citizens outside milling on the street.
She looked a bit worried. She was concerned about Xu Que and the three thousand soldiers.
She knew that even if they failed to take back Blue Water City, Xu Que would still be fine. But her soldiers were not as powerful…
I doubt that many of them can come back alive…
She sighed, thinking that she should not have agreed to send them out with Xu Que in the first place.
Taking a city back in one day is just impossible!
Xiao Wu finally came back and dashed right into the house.
Seeing him, Situ had a feeling that something bad had happened.
Why has he came back alone? Where is Second Uncle? Where is Hero Zhuge? Where are the rest of the soldiers?
She dropped the book onto the ground.
She was afraid that Xiao Wu was bringing bad news.
Xiao Wu saw Situ and exclaimed: "General Situ, I have something to report!"
Situ took a deep breath and steeled herself to hear what Xiao Wu was going to say.
"You may speak now!"
Xiao Wu said excitedly, "Hero Zhuge has taken Blue Water City back, now he is heading to Yun Luo City!"
"What?"
Situ was shocked.
Hero Zhuge has taken back Blue Water City and is heading to Yun Luo City? This is not true. He only left around two hours ago, how can this be possible?
"General Situ, this is true. Lu Wen has been killed by Hero Zhuge and his thirty thousand soldiers all surrendered. No one on our side has been killed yet. This is really a miracle!" Xiao Wu said with excitement, as if he had witnessed the battle himself.
He killed Lu Wen… and no one on our side has died?
I cannot believe my ears…
Right at that moment, another soldier came back and ran toward the house.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he shouted, "I have something to report."
Situ thought that this time, something bad must have happened. She nodded. "You may speak now."
The soldier took a deep breath and said: "Hero Zhuge has taken Yun Luo City back. The governor has been killed and the remaining forty thousand soldiers have all surrendered. No one on our side has died and they are heading to Shen Hai City."
"What?!"
Situ was so surprised that her eyes were wide open.
Xiao Wu was the same.
Another one? And they are heading to Shen Hai City?
My goodness!
I must be dreaming!
Why are these cities falling so easily? God, how did this happen?
…
Meanwhile, at Shen Hai City, the war had ended. Xu Que stood on the collapsed city wall, looking like a General. All three thousand soldiers from Snow City were intact and in high spirits.
In less than three hours, they had taken back three cities—three of the most powerful cities amongst the ten cities of the Water Nation.
They had used the exact same tactics. Who said miracles could only happen once?
"Great Hero Zhuge!" the soldiers shouted.
Xu Que was carrying a stick on his back, and there was a dog hanging on the stick. It was Buttface.
"Let me down!" Buttface shouted.
Xu Que said, "Buttface, why did you come all the way here? And now you are hanging off the end of my stick and your butt has turned red! Hahaha!"
"F*ck! If it were not for your magic inscriptions, I would never have been caught by you. My intelligence level is higher than yours, why don't we do a quiz and see who is smarter!" Buttface shouted.
"Never mind! Yes, you do indeed have a bigger head but it is full of sh*t! Even a dung beetle would laugh at you"
"B*stard! You are talking nonsense!"
This stupid fool! He cannot even understand my joke, yet he is claiming that his intelligence level is higher than mine…
"Buttface, you are really cute!"
"Cute?" Buttface was stunned.
"Yes! You are dumb and cute!"
"F*ck! Come and fight against me!"
"Shut up! We should head to the next city before it is too late! You have to keep carrying the bombs, do you understand? Then I will let you drive a tank."
"Bulls*it! Do you think I will be deceived by you again?"
"You can also fly a helicopter."
"Hero Zhuge, where are the bombs? I can carry them now!"

419 He Is Going To Give People A Great Show Tomorrow
Chapter 419: He Is Going To Give People A Great Show Tomorrow
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was dusk when Xu Que and his three thousand soldiers arrived at Yun Ling City.
With the help of his helicopters, tanks, Rocket Guns and God-Powered Cannons, the soldiers initiated their attack on the city.
Although the city wall was also protected by a Protection Array, it could not withstand the explosive force of the bombs and collapsed at last.
Xu Que then snuck into the city and killed the governor with the Killer God's Single Stroke. Seeing this, all the soldiers and officials of Yun Ling City surrendered.
None of them had intended to betray the Water Empress in the first place, so they quickly surrendered.
Then Xu Que and his soldiers looted the governor's residence, just as they had done before in the other cities.
The soldiers of Snow City knocked heavily at the doors to the residence and shouted, "Open the door. We have come to check your water meter. We will not take anything from you."
The door opened. The all swamped into the house and politely ransacked all the rooms. They then settled inside the house.
In one day, they had managed to take four cities back. This was really something that had never happened before. Since it was already dusk, Xu Que decided to let the soldiers have a rest before heading out to the next city the following day.
Buttface was very happy as Xu Que had given him a helicopter and a tank to use. He maneuvered them around the city over the night.
To Xu Que's surprise, Buttface knew how to operate the helicopter and the tank. Buttface said that he had learned from the other soldiers in the day.
How amazing. His intelligence level is so low, so how did he manage to learn this so quickly?
"Where on earth did you come from?" he asked Buttface.
Buttface was busy driving the tank and did not think too much. Then he said, "I am the offspring of the Ancient Magic Dragon. I have already lived six lifetimes, and in three more lifetimes, I will become a dragon."
Xu Que did not believe what he had said at all, but he felt like Buttface was not lying.
"Can it be true?" Xu Que murmured.
"Of course it is true. Because I have met some troubles, I turned into a wolf. In the next life, I will become a fierce tiger!"
"I simply cannot believe it!" Xu Que said.
Then he turned and went back to the city.
While he was heading back to the city, he suddenly recalled that he had once heard a story about the offspring of a dragon. The story was called "Nine Sons Of The Dragon".
In the book Huailu Tangji, the nine sons were Qiu Niu, Ya Zi, Chao Feng, Pu Lao, Suan Ni, Bi Xi, Bi An, Fu Xi, and Chi Wen.
Buttface had nothing in common with the nine sons, so Xu Que had never before thought to consider the notion that he might be offspring of the dragon.
In another book Sheng'an Waiji by the poet Yang Shen, different names were given for the fifth and ninth children of the dragon. The fifth was the taotie, which loved to eat and was often a symbol on food-related wares, and the ninth was the jiaotu, which looked like a conch or clam, did not like to be disturbed, and often featured as a symbol on front doors and doorsteps. Yang's list was Bi Xi, Chi Wen or Chao Feng, Pu Lao, Bi An, Taotie, Qiu Niu, Ya Zi, Suan Ni, and Jiaotu.
Taotie looked like a wolf and liked to eat. In the past, many people had thought that its head was beautiful and had engraved it on the surface of food and wine containers. In the legend, Taotie liked to eat very much, so the ancients would usually call someone who was greedy about food and money 'Taotie'.
In this regard, Buttface does resemble Taotie, but he just said he would become a tiger in his next life. Amongst the nine sons, Bi An looks similar to a tiger…
Thinking of this, Xu Que felt a bit nervous.
If he really is the offspring of the dragon, I have to beat him few more times before he turns into a dragon…
"Buttface…" Xu Que turned around and walked towards Buttface.
Buttface was crawling out a tank and was about to jump into a helicopter. He did not answer Xu Que.
Then Xu Que gave it him big slap!
"Ouch! Why did you hit me? Do you want to have a fight with me?" Buttface got very angry.
Xu Que said, "Shut up! You said you have lived six lifetimes. What are your incarnations?"
"I do not remember!" Buttface said reluctantly.
Xu Que knew that he had to be hiding something, since every time something important came up, he would always conceal what he knew.
For example, he must have known more about the Five Elements Mountain and had decided not to tell me everything. When he told me about the seal on the Five Elements Mountain and the Zudi of the black monkeys, he had pretended not to remember clearly… everything about him is just so strange. He was sealed in the stone wall of a Sword Catacomb, which is very similar to a seal for the Five Elements Mountain…
"Fine! If you don't want to tell me, then don't. But from tomorrow onwards, you will not be permitted to drive any helicopters or tanks!" then Xu Que left.
Buttface angrily replied, "I don't care! I can make my own helicopters and tanks!"
"Good! If you manage to make one helicopter or tank, I will treat you a meal at KFC!" Xu Que said.
Then he went right back to Yun Ling City.
Anyway, neither the business of the Five Elements Mountain or the origin of Buttface had anything to do with him. He was just a little curious, but now he was not able to get answers, he simply stopped.
In his dictionary, there were only three things—flirting with women, acting tough, and eating.
…
The next day, Xu Que headed to the fifth city along with the three thousand soldiers of Snow City.
Situ Wu was already back in the Snow City.
In the governor's residence, he and Situ were looking at each other silently.
They now knew that they could not stop Xu Que from reclaiming the Water Nation.
From time to time, soldiers would come in and report to them the latest news from the front line.
"Hero Zhuge has taken back Li Kong City!"
"Hero Zhuge has taken back Zhen Feng City!"
"Hero Zhuge has taken back Tian Yu City! The governors of the remaining three cities have abandoned their cities and run away... now, all ten lost cities have been taken back."
"Hero Zhuge said he is going to give people a great show at the Imperial City tomorrow."

420 Something Is Not Righ
Chapter 420: Something Is Not Right
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que and his three thousand soldiers were now heading to the Imperial City.
They were all in very high spirits.
This army had won many battles in the past few days. They felt invincible!
They felt very confident with themselves and said that they would easily take the Imperial City back within two hours.
When Xu Que arrived at the city gates, he saw tens of thousands of soldiers standing upon the city wall and smiling down at him.
Xu Que raised a hand and his soldiers stopped.
"Why are they smiling? It's as if they are welcoming us!" Xu Que frowned.
Buttface said, "They want us to be less alert. When we approach them, they will definitely shoot us! We'd better return to Snow City and come back in a few days."
Xu Que gave him a slap on his head and shouted, "F*ck off! It must be because they are afraid of us and are about to surrender."
"You are too full of yourself!" Buttface said.
Seeing this, the soldiers all laughed.
They had been watching Xu Que and this dog quarrelling the whole way. They were amazed that they still had the energy to bicker with each other.
Meanwhile, a few soldiers of the Imperial City were riding towards them.
"Welcome! Hero Zhuge, we have been waiting for you for a long time. We have already taken control of the entire city!"
What?! The whole city is under their control? Are they on my side? No way, the Imperial City would not be that easy to take back.
"Shoot them!" Xu Que shouted.
A few Rocket Guns were carried over. The soldiers then targeted the approaching soldiers of the Imperial City.
Seeing this, the soldiers of the Imperial City stopped smiling and screamed, "Don't! Hero Zhuge, we are on your side."
"Nonsense! What proof have you got to prove that you are on our side?" Buttface said.
The soldiers hurriedly said, "Yesterday, we heard that the Ice Queen was injured and had fled. The Water Empress is about to come back. We have also heard that Hero Zhuge has taken back all the lost cities in two days, and we admire you so much. Then we killed the traitors in the city and took control of the city!"
"Huh? The Ice Queen was injured and has fled? Why haven't I heard of this?" Xu Que was surprised.
Back at the Holy Ground, he had only seen the message left by the Water Empress on the ground, and had not seen the Ice Queen. He knew that the Ice Queen had been at the Holy Ground and there was a high chance that she had disappeared somewhere with the Water Empress.
Everything just happens too fast!
"Hero Zhuge. The Princess Zi Xuan saw the Ice Queen running away herself. We were not able to take back the Imperial City without her," a soldier of the Imperial City said.
Zi Xuan? Haha, I almost forgot, she is the younger sister of the Water Empress.
"Where is she now? Tell her to come and see me or I will shoot you!"
Hearing this, the soldiers felt a bit reluctant.
A princess cannot come out like this, it is too informal! But they are really powerful… if we do not ask the princess to come out and see him, what happens if he really shoots us?
"Is she coming or not? If she does not come, I shall shoot you now! The army behind me can no longer wait to kill you all!" Xu Que shouted.
How shameless he is! He is calling his force of three thousand soldiers an army?! We have a hundred thousand soldiers and some leaders who are in the Infant Transformation Stage. Why should we act at his behest?!
Still, they had no option but to continue smiling at Xu Que.
"It's you!" a female voice spoke.
Xu Que looked up to the city wall and saw a young woman standing on the city wall.
"Zi Xuan!" Xu Que laughed and asked the soldiers to withdraw the Rocket Guns.
When the Ice Queen had first taken the Water Nation, she had simply imprisoned Zi Xuan in the palace.
But over the last two days, she had heard that all ten cities had been reclaimed by a young man. She had immediately guessed that the young man was Xu Que.
So when the Ice Queen had been injured, she had instantly sent someone out to assassinate the traitors in the city and take back the Water Nation. Today, having heard that Xu Que had come to the Imperial City, she had quickly come out to meet him.
When she called out 'Xu Que', everyone at present was confused.
She called him 'Xu Que'?
Then Xu Que proudly entered the city with his soldiers.
Compared with the other ancient cities, the Imperial City looked much grander. Thanks to the Water Empress, the economy was very good and all the citizens were living a happy and peaceful life. There were many cultivators carrying advanced magic weapons and walking on the street.
On the way to the palace, Zi Xuan was frowning. She did not say anything to Xu Que.
Xu Que thought that she was still holding grudge against him about the Flaming Sun Princess, so he did not say anything to her either. Instead he talked with a random soldier and asked him what had happened between the Ice Queen and the Water Empress.
"As I have been told by Princess Zi Xuan, one night when she was walking in the palace, she saw the Ice Queen coming out from the treasure vault. The Ice Queen looked very pale and there was blood on her collar. It was clear that she was badly injured. Then Princess Zi Xuan went to her and asked what had happened. The Ice Queen told her that she had been hit by the Water Empress," the soldier said.
Hearing this, Xu Que was stunned.
It seems that the Ice Queen failed to kill the Water Empress and was almost killed by her.
"Why she did not kill Princess Zi Xuan that night?" Xu Que asked.
"Actually, ever since the Ice Queen began taking over the Water Nation, she has not done anything bad. Everything is as it is was before. After she was injured, she just spoke with Princess Zi Xuan for a while and hurriedly left. Someone said that she had gone abroad."
Xu Que frowned.
Something is not right!

421 The Bedroom of the Water Empress
Chapter 421: The Bedroom of the Water Empress
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Later, Xu Que and his three thousand soldiers settled down in the palace. They were looked after by the maids and eunuchs as if they were royals.
After all, they had taken back all the lost cities, so they deserved to be treated like this. When the Water Empress returned, they would surely receive rewards.
The soldiers of Snow City all felt very lucky that they had followed Xu Que.
At midnight, Xu Que sat in a yard, smoking.
Buttface was very curious about his cigarette and asked if he could have one from him. He took a small drag and almost choked to death. He lay on the ground and stared at Xu Que.
"You are really a freak. How can you act so comfortable smoking this sort of trash!"
"Buttface, shut up! I am thinking, do not disturb me!" Xu Que said impatiently. Then he fell into deep thought again.
Buttface asked, "Are you planning to take over the remaining four nations?"
"Why on earth would I want to attack the remaining four nations? I was thinking about what that soldier had said to me earlier. Don't you find it odd that the Ice Queen left just like that?" Xu Que frowned. Clearly, he still did not believe what he had been told.
The Ice Queen was injured by the Water Empress and then ran back to the palace. When she was seen by Zi Xuan, she told her what had happened and then simply left. I just find this too hard to believe.
The Ice Queen is such an ambitious woman, it is impossible that she would so easily give up the whole city.
"You are right. This indeed sounds very odd! She has been planning to take over the Water Nation for fifty years, she wouldn't abandon this city like that." Buttface nodded.
"I knew it. See? Even someone as stupid as you can agree that this is very odd. How can it be possible that no one else ever doubts this? I think we have been tricked!" Xu Que said.
Buttface nodded, then realized Xu Que was making fun of him. "Who said that I am stupid? It's typical for ordinary people to believe this hoax, but I am different, as I am very clever."
"Shut up! Whenever you open your mouth and start to talk, I just want to give you a slap!" Xu Que said, standing up.
Hearing this, Buttface shied away and shouted, "Seriously? What is wrong with you?"
"I'm just kidding. By the way, I think the Ice Queen is still in the palace, she must be hiding somewhere." Xu Que frowned.
"I agree with you." Buttface nodded.
"I think I will have to pay a visit to the Water Empress' bedroom!" Xu Que said rather seriously.
"What?! Why are you going to the Water Empress' bedroom?" Buttface was stunned. "You are not going to take this opportunity to f*ck someone in her bedroom, right?"
"Nonsense! I am not that sort of person. Now think, you idiot. There is only one place that is the safe in the entire palace, and that place is the Water Empress' bedroom. Apart from the Water Empress herself, no one would dare enter. So if the Ice Queen is still in the palace, she must be hiding there!" Xu Que said.
Buttface wanted to say something to contradict with him, but he felt his words made sense.
Then he sat on the ground and said, "You go then, I am going to sit here and absorb the energy of the moon!"
"B*stard! You are so lazy!" Xu Que cursed.
In fact, he had not intended to take Buttface with him in the first place.
In the blink of an eye, he left the yard.
The layout of the palace was not that complicated, and there were many ponds around. In certain places, the water element Qi rose up from the ground.
Due to this, the entire palace was shrouded by fog and had been like that for years. Once a normal person stepped into the palace, they would be bound to get lost.
For Xu Que, the fog was not a big deal. With the help of True Core Strength, he could see his surroundings clearly.
On his way to the Water Empress' bedroom, many maids, eunuchs and guards greeted him and called him 'General Zhuge', or 'General Xu."
In case people found out that he was heading to the Water Empress' bedroom, Xu Que pretended that he was just taking a walk after dinner.
He casually walked around, humming a tune. Some guards walked past him and looked at him as if he was a crazy person.
Xu Que shouted, "Don't give me that look, I was just humming! Do your work!"
After a while, he finally arrived at the Water Empress' bedroom. It was dark inside and there were a few soldiers patrolling outside.
He hid in a dark corner and use his God's Strength to search the bedroom, trying to find out if there was anyone inside.
But as soon as his God's Strength touched the bedroom, it bounced back.
"What?" Xu Que was surprised.
Ding. "Magic array detected. To break it, spend 500 Acting Tough Points. Yes or No?" The sound of the notification rang in his mind.
"No. Since it is blocked, I will check it out myself!" Xu Que said.
500 Acting Tough Points?! I'm not stupid.
Over the past two days, Xu Que had already spent over ten thousand Acting Tough Points. After doing some calculations, he found that he had only earned eight thousand points... but to please the Water Empress, he did not mind.
The next moment, he changed into some leaves and snuck into the bedroom.
As soon as he got in, he stopped to breathe and hid himself.
He looked around. He could smell a fragrant aroma, which reminded him exactly of the scent of the Water Empress' oft-used perfume.
When he was about to walk, a ray of light appeared, quickly turning into a big bowl that covered him. Then the bowl changed into an ice prison.
A woman slowly walked out, sneering. "You really are clever! Still, how dare you enter the Water Empress' bedroom?"

422 The Ice Queen
Chapter 422: The Ice Queen
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que did not dodge, since he was not afraid of the magic inscriptions of the category of either water or ice. After all, he had come from Fire Country.
Still, he was stunned when he saw that young woman.
He had seen many beautiful women since coming to the Cultivation World, but the woman in front of him was amazingly charming.
Her skin was flawless. Her face was as beautiful as a blooming flower, her eyebrows were as black as the grass on a mountain in the early spring, and her eyes were as gentle as rippling water in fall.
Best of all, she had a pair of long, slim legs. Her breasts, her waist and her hip were just perfect! She looked very seductive.
Her personality was totally different to that of the Water Empress.
The Water Empress was mature and demure. Her body was also perfect, and no matter what she wore, her curves could always be easily seen. She was elegant, just like an angel from heaven.
Meanwhile, the woman in front of Xu Que looked as if she could be a member of the Asura—a class of divine beings in Buddhist mythology. With her beauty, she could easily seduce all the men in the world.
She was currently at Level 7 of the Infant Transformation Stage!
"Hello, beautiful. Are you the Ice Queen?" Xu Que smiled.
He was not stupid—he knew the woman in front of him was the Ice Queen. Besides, he could tell that she was injured and that the True Core Strength inside her body was in disorder.
Liu Jingning looked at Xu Que.
When she had been at the Snow Mountain, she had known how powerful Xu Que was. After finding out that he was one of the disciples of Duan Jiu De, she had grown more curious about him.
When she heard Xu Que call her 'beautiful', she smiled.
"Hero Zhuge, you are really something." Liu Jingning laughed, and she now looked more charming.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned and then she laughed again. Her breasts moved up and down while she was laughing…
Xu Que stared at her breasts and started to enjoy it.
Liu Jingning knew that he was staring at her breasts, but she did not mind. She said, "Hero Zhuge, you are very humorous. In fact, I am very curious about your identity. Since you dare to come to Jiang Hong Yan's bedroom, I believe that you two must be getting along with each other very well."
Jiang Hong Yan?
This was the second time that he had heard the Water Empress called by her full name.
Before, he had never known that the surname of the Water Empress was 'Jiang'.
That surname had a long history.
It was noted in the Huaxia Mythology that the Yan Emperor had been born alongside the River Jiang, so he had taken on that surname. The Jiang Ziya in The Investiture of the Gods was the offspring of the Yan Emperor.
Xu Que was a bit surprised by her words. He then smiled: "Well, the relationship between the two of us is a bit complicated. Besides, you are now in her bedroom, which means that you two must be very close."
Liu Jingning sneered. "I am the Queen, so I would be her matriarch!"
"Anyway, why are you hiding here? Are you staying here until you recover or are you planning to occupy the Water Nation again?"
Liu Jingning shook her head and said, "The reason why I came all the way to the Water Nation is simply because I need to get a specific item. But now that I know I can never get it, what's the point of having this city back?"
"So you staying here until you recover?" Xu Que was still very doubtful.
Liu Jingning said gently, "I've also been waiting for you."
Xu Que laughed. "Ha, I see. Then let's hurry up and not waste any time. Take off your clothes."
Liu Jingning was very calm. She smiled. "I see. But this is normal, a young man of your age is always thirsty for sex. Unfortunately, I am not interested in a small guy like you!"
F*ck!
Xu Que was a bit unhappy. "You have not even seen my penis!"
Liu Jingning shook her head and said, "You are still too young. You are gifted, but your mind is not yet powerful, you are still trapped by human emotions and lust. Maybe after a few centuries, you will be as strong as us."
"Beautiful, I never thought that you would be so good at acting tough too!" Xu Que sneered.
If cultivation means that I should give up human's emotions and lust, I'd rather not continue with cultivation anymore. Anyway, I can upgrade by increasing my Acting Tough Points!
Liu Jingning smiled. She knew that Xu Que had not taken her words seriously, but she did not care.
"Let's get back to business. Firstly, I hid here to see if you could find me. Secondly, I want to personally ask you some questions."
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to answer any questions. Now leave the Water Nation and never come back, otherwise I will kill you."
He had gone to such great lengths to win the entire Water Nation back—the last thing he wanted was for the Ice Queen to continue causing trouble for him. Otherwise, all his efforts would have been futile.
Liu Jingning was a bit surprised. Just then, he had seemed like a humorous gentleman, but now he had become a cruel man.
"It seems that you have misunderstood me. But... you have to recognize that you have been imprisoned by me!" Liu Jingning laughed.
She was very confident that Xu Que could not break out, since even the Water Empress had failed to break out.
"Ha. I am imprisoned by you? When did this happen? Oh, you mean the ice cage? Hahaha, I did not even notice it!" Xu Que laughed.
Liu Jingning said, "I know you have powerful backup. I do not want to be your enemy. I just want to make one thing clear! If you answer my question, I will let you go! I promise!"
Suddenly, Xu Que hold up his hand. A ball of black fire appeared on his palm. It was the Eight Waste Destruction Flame!
The next moment, he hit the ice cage with his palm.
Bang!
The ice cage collapsed and began to melt. Soon, it became a thread of white smoke and vanished.
Seeing this, Liu Jingning was shocked and her eyes were wide open.
Xu Que walked up to her and smiled. "I wasn't listening. Would you mind saying that again?"

423 The True Identity of the Water Empress
Chapter 423: The True Identity of the Water Empress
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Liu Jingning was totally shocked.
He destroyed the magic inscriptions for my cage with just one hit! I cannot believe this.
She stared at Xu Que's palm and asked, "What is that fire?"
Xu Que looked at Liu Jingning and smiled: "I have said already that I do not want to answer any of your questions. Are you going to stay or leave? If you choose to leave, then leave! If you want to stay, then let's fight!"
"There is no need to be like this. I just want to ask you some questions which concern Jiang Hong Yan's safety. Are you sure you really don't want to answer any of them?" Liu Jingning did not want to fight with Xu Que, so she told him that the questions had a lot to do with the Water Empress' safety.
Hearing this, Xu Que frowned and said, "How?"
Liu Jingning then said, "You do not know who Jiang Hong Yan really is? It seems that she simply regards you as her inferior, not her helper!"
"What do you mean?" Xu Que asked.
"Nothing. Since she has not told you about this, that means she did not want to drag you into this mess. There is also no need for me to ask you!" Liu Jingning was a bit disappointed. She shook her head, about to leave.
"Wait!" Xu Que shouted. "Tell me everything you know."
Liu Jingning smiled and shook her head. "Although I do not get along with her now, when we were young, we were very good friends to each other. This is her business, and it should be up to her to tell this to others. It is not my place to tell you!"
"I asked you to leave and you did not leave. Now I will not let you go!" Xu Que sneered.
In fact, he already knew that there was something about the Water Empress that he did not know. Since the Ice Queen did not want to tell him, he though that perhaps he should just stop—after all, it was private.
But the Ice Queen had said that this had a lot to do with the Water Empress' safety, which meant that the Water Empress might have been in danger.
Liu Jingning was angry. She said in a low voice, "Young man! You really want to fight me? You are too full of yourself. If it were not for the powerful backup you have, I would already…"
"Ha, strange how I have no idea what this powerful backup is. I think it is you who are arrogant. Killing you would be a piece of cake for me."
Xu Que sneered.
In a moment, an eight-star sword appeared in his hand.
Liu Jingning suddenly recalled what Hong Yan had told him.
This young man killed the Old God of Killing and the late Emperor of Fire Country. Abroad, only the Holy Son, or the elite among the holy sons, can be as powerful as he is.
"Maybe I was wrong about the relationship between you and Hong Yan."
Liu Jingning mocked herself and looked at Xu Que.
"Young man, are you in love with Hong Yan? Is that why you are so concerned about her safety?"
"It's none of your business!" Xu Que replied.
Hearing this, Liu Jingning laughed. "You aren't joking. You know, we just regard you as someone who is younger than us. You cannot possibly be in love with her."
"Stop laughing!"
Xu Que waved his wrist and executed The Nine Grids Sword Art of Celestial Thunder. In the blink of an eye, the sword was against Liu Jingning's neck.
"I do not care how you two see me. Tell me, what happened to Hong Yan? Where is she?"
Liu Jingning was shocked when she saw the sword—she had not even noticed any of this happen.
She sneered. "Young man! Let me tell you, Jiang Hongyan is not someone you can love. First, she is a member of the Jiang family. Second, she is cursed. If you are really in love with her, I suggest you forget her soon."
Liu Jingning snapped her fingers, and the next minute, a coldness quickly filled Xu Que's body.
His arm felt numb and there was now a thin layer of ice on his arm. Meanwhile, he felt that his True Core Strength had been blocked somehow…
He sneered and began to activate the Mystical Fires inside him, trying to stop the coldness.
Liu Jingning smiled and snapped her fingers again. The space between them twisted and her body grew transparent. At last, she disappeared.
"Young man. It is not that easy to kill me. Remember Jiang Hong Yan is not in danger now, but she will be in danger soon! I suggest you forget her and never, ever have anything to do with her. Otherwise, no matter how gifted or powerful you are, you will lose your life for her!"
She was clearly using an advanced magic inscription.
Bang!
He managed to expel the coldness from his body. The ice on his arm fell into pieces.
He could not feel Liu Jingning's presence anymore. She had run away.
"F*ck! I was tricked!"
When his arm was still frozen, he could have still killed her if he wanted.
Although Liu Jingning was injured, she still managed to run away. How powerful that woman is.
The reason why he had not killed her was because he wanted to know the secret behind Hong Yan. But he had never thought that she would be able to use such an advanced magic inscription.
"Well, I should upgrade my own magic inscriptions now!"

424 It“s Damn Cheap
Chapter 424: It's Damn Cheap
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que was confused by what the Ice Queen had told him before disappearing.
The Water Empress is not in danger now, but she will be in danger in the future? The Ice Queen can predict the future?
Thinking, he shook his head.
Anyway, at least the Water Empress is not in danger now. I should just wait until she comes back, then I will ask her myself.
Now it is time for me to upgrade my magic inscriptions.
Recently, Xu Que's body had become much stronger as he had been practicing the Hell King's Prison Suppression Style, as well as techniques from the Killer Book, the Killer Sword and the Buddha's Fiery Lotus. Now no one of his stage would be able to defeat him, and he would be able to kill someone at a higher stage.
However, after being tricked by Liu Jingning, he realized that his current magic inscriptions should be upgraded.
"It seems that staying in the five nations can no longer really help me accumulate Acting Tough Points," Xu Que murmured and summoned the System.
On the screen, he pressed the 'Skill' button, and chose the Celestial Stage. With the Acting Tough Points he got, he could buy any magic inscription that he wanted.
In the Celestial Stage, most of the inscriptions were subsidiary ones that could not quickly kill an enemy.
Soon, he spotted a inscription he liked.
The Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders.
It was a tactic of the Advanced Earth Rank in the Fight Break Spheres. In the Sphere of Immortals, it could be regarded as a high-grade celestial art.
After a while, the host would be able to create a thunder shadowmeld of their own. After fully mastering this tactic, the shadowmeld could become as strong as the host, and the host would be able to control it with his Soul Strength. As long as the host lived, the shadowmeld would not die. But the host would have to master the Three Thousand Volts Lightning first!
Price: 300 Acting Tough Points…
"This is nice. I will take this. But the Sky Rank is the highest rank the System has? Well, I just feel like I have overestimated this System," Xu Que said and bought this the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders.
After all, he had mastered many powerful magic inscriptions, but with these inscriptions, he would only be able to kill someone who was one level above him.
The System replied, "To buy magic inscriptions of a higher grade, you must upgrade the entire System. This will cost you twenty thousand Acting Tough Points."
"No, no, no, no. I will not upgrade the System!" Xu Que refused.
It was simply too expensive…
If I had not bought the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders, I would probably upgrade this System. Now that I might be able to have a shadowmeld of my own, in the future, I will just rely on my shadowmeld. If it loses, I will still be able to fight. And as long as I am alive, it would not die…
However, when he bought the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders, he found that his Skill Essence had almost been completely consumed. There were only around ten points left.
All these years, he had been stealing magic inscriptions from others' treasure vaults, and as soon as he had gotten them he would immediately let the System recycle them in order to obtain Skill Essence. With Skill Essence, he would upgrade other magic inscriptions, such as the Three Thousand Volts Lightning, the Flame Devouring Wave and the Six Corporeal Forms.
As for magic inscriptions such as the Troop (one of the Nine Secrets) and the Buddha's Fiery Lotus, the process of upgrading had not been completed yet, since these inscriptions belonged to the Sky Rank and would require more Skill Essence.
As for the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders, the higher his proficiency was, the stronger his shadowmeld would be. When the degree of his proficiency reached ten percent, the shadowmeld would become as powerful as its host.
Due to this, Xu Que needed to exchange for Skill Essence with a huge number of magic inscriptions. Only then would he able to use Skill Essence to upgrade the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders.
…
The next morning, he left the palace and headed to the center of the city. He set up a wood plate and wrote a few lines of writing on it: 'buying various kinds of magic inscriptions for a high price!'
Most of the cultivators and citizens in the Imperial City did not know about Xu Que, so not many people had showed much interest in him before. But after setting up this plate, people began to show interest.
"High price?"
"Magic inscriptions are very precious, I don't think anyone would be willing to sell them."
"How naive this young man is! How many Spirit Stones has he got, really?"
Many people shook their heads and left. A few people asked him how much money he would give.
Seeing this, Xu Que was a bit unhappy and said, "Do not miss this opportunity. I am from the Exploding Heavens Faction and intend to buy magic inscriptions for a high price! Come and have a look!"
Then he summoned his system storage and poured out millions of low-quality Spirit Stones on the ground.
Throughout the years, he had killed countless people and gotten countless storage rings. There were not only millions of Spirit Stones of low quality, but also a great number of Spirit Stones of medium, high and top quality.
He had poured out millions of Spirit Stones of low quality to appeal to the people, and he had intend succeeded at stunning all the cultivators who were present.
Spirit Stones were the universal currency in the World of Cultivators. They could not only be used to enhance the abilities of their holders, but could also be used as a currency to buy either magic weapons or medicine.
The people from a few small-scale factions were also stunned. "Where has he come from? Does he just carry around a bunch Spirit Stones like this?"
"Can it be possible that he stole these stones from his home?"
"He is really bold. Although this is the Imperial City, there are still plenty of bad guys around here, especially these days."
"If he is seen by the Gang of Twelve of the Imperial City, he will definitely be robbed."
"A few days ago, a thug took a young girl away in a broad daylight and made her his concubine, but he was not arrested simply because his cousin was a member of the Gang of Twelve."
A middle-aged man walked forward and smiled. "Young man, I am the boss of Zhai Bao Ge, a store in which I sell all kinds of magic inscriptions. I am planning to leave here in a few days. If you have enough Spirit Stones to buy my store, I can sell it to you."
"Oh? How many magic inscriptions you have got in total?" Xu Que became interested.
"Around fifty books of them. One is of the Earth Rank, thirty are of the Black Rank and twenty are of Yellow Rank." the man said.
Xu Que was a bit upset. "Only one is of the Earth Rank? Well, never mind. I will buy them all. How many stones do you want?"
"Huh…" the man was speechless.
Only one is of the Earth Rank? What are you talking about? The magic inscription itself is very precious. The Zhai Bao Ge is a huge store in the city. Even if I had one of the Sky Rank, I would not possibly sell it to anyone else.
The man thought for a while and said, "Eight million Spirit Stones of low quality, what do you think? After all, my store is quite a famous one here."
Eight million Spirit Stones?
Everyone at present was surprised.
Can this young man really afford that?
In fact, the middle-aged man did not think Xu Que would have that many stones. He had been trying to sell his store for days and he had received no buyers yet. Now he had met Xu Que. Although he did not feel very positive about this, he still wanted to have a try.
"Fine! No problem! Eight million Spirit Stones equals to just eighty thousand Spirit Stones of medium quality. It's damn cheap!"

425 Magic Inscriptions of Star Rank
Chapter 425: Magic Inscriptions of Star Rank
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the World of Cultivators, the exchange rate between the Spirit Stones of low and medium quality was 100 to 1.
A hundred Spirit Stones of low quality equalled to one Spirit Stone of medium quality, and a hundred Spirit Stones of medium quality equalled to one Spirit Stone of high quality.
Xu Que had looted many treasure vaults and imperial tombs and had thus obtained around a few million Spirit Stones of medium quality, which meant a few hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones of low quality.
Moreover, he had around a few million Spirit Stones of high quality and tens of thousands of top ones. He was like a walking treasure vault. His fortune could outweigh the fortune of two or three countries put together.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
Who is he? He even thinks eight million Spirit Stones is cheap? Does he have a rich dad?
The middle-aged man of the Zhai Bao Ge was thinking the same thing. He had expected Xu Que to bargain with him…
This young man is really…
The man hurriedly said, "Young man, why not pay a visit to my store?"
"Good! Show me the way. Anyone who wants to sell his magic inscriptions can come to me!" Xu Que replied.
He quickly picked up all the stones on the ground and left with the middle-aged man.
The Zhai Bao Ge was located in the fringes of the Imperial City. It was not very large, and was at most as big as a small room. There were a few bookshelves inside.
"Young man, all the magic inscriptions of the Black and Yellow Ranks are all in the shelves. As for that Earth Rank one, since it is very precious, I always take it with me. Have a look," the man said, taking out a jade bamboo slip. Then he handed it to Xu Que.
Xu Que scanned it with his Soul Strength and found that the inscriptions were all about swords and things alike. He immediately lost interest and decided to let the System recycle it.
The man was surprised when he saw Xu Que shaking his head. He then asked, "Young man, what is wrong?"
"Nothing. It is just the inscriptions in this book are a bit lame. Anyway, I will take them. Here are the stones." Xu Que said while taking out eight hundred Spirit Stones of high quality.
The middle-aged man was surprised by his generosity.
Normally, only people of high rank possessed Spirit Stones of high quality. He had never thought that the young man in front of him would be so generous.
It seems that this young man is someone of high rank!
Xu Que stood in front of the bookshelf and put all the books into the system storage. Then he ordered the System to recycle all of them.
Ding! "'Water Cloud Mind' has been recycled. The reward is 20 Skill Essence."
Ding! "'Sea Controlling Palm' has been recycled. The reward is 19 Skill Essence."
Ding! "'Blue Water Inscription' has been recycled. The reward is 30 Skill Essence."
…
Soon, all the magic inscriptions, including the one of the Earth Rank, had been recycled.
Suddenly, the System stopped and a notification rang.
Ding! "There are some magic inscriptions of the Star Rank in the book 'Heavenly Water Sword', should the process of recycling stop?"
"What? A magic inscription of Star Rank? I have never heard of this before," Xu Que said.
He had thought that there were only four Ranks in total—Black, Yellow, Earth and Sky.
After hearing this, Xu Que got very excited and could not keep calm.
The Nine Secrets and the Buddha's Fiery Lotus, which are two very powerful magic inscriptions, are of the Sky Rank. The inscription of the Star Rank must be even more powerful.
Ding! "If the host upgrades the System to version 4.0, the inscriptions of Star Rank will show up in the System store."
"Give me that book of Star Rank!" Xu Que did not want to upgrade the System since it would cost him about twenty thousand Acting Tough Points. He only wanted to find out what sort of magic inscriptions could be put into the category of Star Rank, which had to be higher than Sky Rank.
Ding! "The 'Heavenly Water Sword' is already stored in the system storage."
He immediately took it out from his storage.
The System said that a few magic inscriptions were mixed in with the other content of the 'Heavenly Water Sword', how can I find them?
Seeing Xu Que holding that book, the middle-aged man then said, "Young man, are you interested in swordplay? This book is very common. I bought it from an overseas seller. With the stones you have, you can go to the auction and buy some magic inscriptions of Sky Rank."
"Okay. You can leave now. If you want to sell magic inscriptions again, remember to come to me," Xu Que said.
The man was about to leave. Then he turned back and put a thousand Spirit Stones of low quality on the desk.
"By the way. This is the street fee of this month."
"What?! Street fee?" Xu Que stopped the middle-aged man.
"You don't know about this? Anyone who is doing business in the Imperial City has to pay the street fee to the Gang of Twelve every month."
"How dare they! Anyway, you take them back. I do not intend to continue running this store. I will teach them a lesson for you sake." Xu Que waved his hand.
Hearing this, the man said: "don't say that! You will put yourself in danger. One member in the Gang of Twelve is the relative of the royal family, he is the only son of the third Duke. Even the Water Empress dares not punish him!"
"No way! I heard that the Water Empress is very decent and has been managing this country very well. How can this sort of person not be punished?" Xu Que felt interested.
The man sighed. "both the late King and the few dukes did not have many offspring. During the war between us and the Metal Nation, most of their offspring died. Currently, the third duke has only one son, who can still produce 'pure' offspring for the royal family. Although the Water Empress is now ruling the country, she is still a woman, and her bloodline will not be pure. That is why the Water Empress does not punish him."
"Men are superior to women? This sort of idea is completely wrong and should be abolished. You should leave now." Xu Que cursed a bit and began to study that book again.
He sat in the Zhai Bao Ge and studied the book for a long time, but failed to find the inscriptions he needed.
He summoned the System and asked, "Are you sure you're not joking? Where are the magic inscriptions of the Star Rank?"
Ding! "The inscriptions are buried in the sentences in the book. To decipher it, you need to spend one hundred Acting Tough Points."
"Fine! You really are greedy! Help me to decipher it and then put it into a jade bamboo slip!"
He could not wait to find out what the inscription of Star Rank was like.
Ding! "Already deciphered. You have lost a hundred and ten Acting Tough Points."
"What?! You just said 'one hundred Acting Tough Points', why did you charge me an extra ten points?"
Ding! "Making the jade bamboo slip costs ten points."

426 One turning into Three Pure Ones
Chapter 426: One turning into Three Pure Ones
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He was speechless.
But he could not do anything about it. He had decided not to return the Acting Tough Points he had loaned.
"The deadline is in nine months later… by that time, I would have already revived the Exploding Heavens Faction. Then no one would dare ask me to pay back the debt."
Anyway, he now had a new jade bamboo slip, and the hidden magic inscriptions of the Star Rank were written upon it.
"Let me have a good look at you!" Xu Que smiled and scanned it with his Soul Strength.
The next minute, he exclaimed: "holy sh*t! 'One turning into Three Pure Ones'? I haven't seen it in the System, and I never thought that such a thing would be here."
'One turning into Three Pure Ones' was a very powerful magic inscription. Having featured in ancient Chinese fairy tales, it had been created by Taishang Laojun, the Heavenly Lord of Tao and Virtue.
It was said that when he had been fighting against the Tong Tian Leader, he had created three pure ones: the Jade Pure One, the Supreme Pure One and the Grand Pure One.
Xu Que was surprised when he read the description of the magic inscription.
"One turning into Three Pure Ones (chapter three)" :
'The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced All things. The three turned into three chi, the three chi then turned into three pure ones. When the owner collects all the chapters, he can master this magic inscription and even choose his own fate!'
…
Why is the 'One turning into Three Pure Ones' a bit different from what I imagined it to be in this world? It seems stranger.
"System, are you sure this book is real? It did not even mention any techniques. Must I really make a great effort to master this inscription, simply to change my own fate? Is it really necessary?" Xu Que asked himself.
He himself was not afraid of anyone—otherwise he would not have dared establish the Exploding Heavens Faction.
Therefore, he did not think he needed to change his own fate. Although this inscription was one of the Star Rank, it had no techniques, and this made Xu Que feel rather upset.
"I have been refining the skills of the ancient five elemental arts, and I have learned the effect of the Qi of five elements. As for the inscription of Star Rank, I would have to wait until I finishing mastering it to see what happens… I don't even think I can wait that long!" Xu Que said. He still did not believe it was real.
After a while, the System said, "It is an original inscription of this world. What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational."
"What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational? I can't believe you're talking about philosophy with me now…" Xu Que was confused.
Then he threw that book back into his storage.
Fine. Anyway, that book did not cost me anything and now it is of no use to me, so I shall just put it aside. Besides, I would have to master the first chapter and the second chapter before I can practice the third one! This is ridiculous!
"I still have the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders. After I master that, I will be invincible. System, use all the Skills Essence to upgrade the 'the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders'."
All the fifty books he bought were recycled and turned into 1500 points of Skills Essence.
I have f*cking spent 1500 Skills Essence, but the process of upgrading is still 30 percent?!
"Never mind. You must be a fake System, I no longer want to ask anything from you," Xu Que said angrily. He felt as if he would explode if he heard one more word from the System.
…
There was a restaurant on the other side of the street, from which people were coming and going.
On the second floor, there were only a few young people drinking and eating.
Although it was crowded downstairs with many people, no one dared to go upstairs.
"Haha, Young Twelve, it is really a great honour that you have come to our restaurant!" a chap in blue clothes said to a handsome young man.
The handsome young man, who he had addressed as 'Young Twelve', smiled. "Before, the Imperial City was under the Ice Queen's control and I was forbidden to go out. Now that she has run away, I can finally enjoy myself around the city!"
The other young men and women sitting next to him asked with excitement, "Have you found something interesting? Tell us and show us! We have also been grounded for the past few months and we are so bored."
"Yes! When that Ice Queen came here, I couldn't even step out of my room. I have to enjoy myself today!"
"Luckily that Ice Queen left in the end, otherwise I might have died of boredom."
"I heard that the Water Empress sent a powerful General called Zhuge to reclaim the Imperial City, do you know who he is?"
"I think he must be very old, otherwise he wouldn't be so powerful! I have been told that he managed to take all the lost ten cities back within just two days."
"That can't be true. But anyway, that man must be very old and powerful."
Obviously, these young people did not know what had really transpired.
The handsome young man was the only son of the third Duke. The young people surrounding him were all members of his gang. He heard what they were talking about and sneered. "No matter how powerful he is, he is just a servant to us royals, isn't he?"
Hearing this, the young men and women around him all laughed. "Yes, you are right! No matter how powerful he is, he will have to kill the enemy and protect the country for your sake."
"Let's drop this tedious topic, remember we come out for fun today. I heard that there was a young man wanting to buy some magic inscriptions today. They said that young man had a million Spirit Stones of low quality!" Young Twelve smiled. He was playing with a cup in his hands and staring at Zhai Bao Ge, which was on the other side of the street.
"I see… you want to go play with that young man!"
"I heard that he has bought the Zhai Bao Ge, so he must have plenty of Spirit Stones."
"No wonder Young Twelve came to this shabby restaurant. See, Zhai Bao Ge is just on the other side of this street," a young man said, pointing to the shop.

427 You Are Going To Die Now!
Chapter 427: You Are Going To Die Now!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Haha. He looks so handsome!" a young woman said excitedly when she squinted inside the Zhai Bao Ge.
A young man next her said in a low voice, "Are you blind? Our Young Twelve is much more handsome than him!"
The young woman smiled. "Of course, our Young Twelve is the most handsome man!"
Clearly, Young Twelve was greatly respected by them. The rest of the young men and women around him all looked like they came from high ranks as well, but they were still trying to flatter Young Twelve.
"Don't talk nonsense! Let's make a bet first. I have sent someone to make trouble for him. Let's see if he will fight back or not," Young Twelve said.
These young people all said together, "He will definitely not fight back!"
"How dare he fight back? How dare he hurt Young Twelve's people?"
"We should make a bet on whether he will cry or not. Haha!"
...
In the past, when the Water Empress was still in the city, Young Twelve would behave himself and would avoid taking things to the extreme. Due to this, the Water Empress had not been too strict on him.
Now, apart from the Princess Zi Xuan, Young Twelve was the most powerful man around and no one dared to offend him or his servants.
So as for their bet, they all made a bet that Xu Que would not dare to fight back.
Young Twelve suddenly laughed: "You guys are too dumb! That young man must is new to this city. He might not even know about me, which means he will definitely fight back. Otherwise, what's the point of making trouble for him?"
"That totally makes sense, I suddenly realize that I have never seen him before," a young man said.
"Then there is a great chance that he will fight back!"
"It's getting more and more interesting."
The rest of the people all got very interested in this bet.
"Let's have a bet on how many times he will hit my servants. Count carefully—if he hits my servants once, I will punch him ten times later!" Young Twelve smiled.
Hearing this, the young people at present were surprised and felt a bit sorry for Xu Que.
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que was about to leave the Zhai Bao Ge.
He was now very angry. He had expected to finish the process of upgrading the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders…
He would have to buy at least another hundred books of magic inscriptions to be able to fully upgrade the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders. The owner of the Zhai Bao Ge had been an exception. Others would not be willing to sell their own precious magic inscriptions.
Xu Que was feeling rather upset as he walked out of the Zhai Bao Ge. Suddenly, a few people appeared and stopped him.
They were all very strong and wearing terrifying expressions on their faces. They were in the Golden Core Stage, but they were not afraid of Xu Que at all.
One of the men stared at Xu Que and shouted, "Young man, where is the owner of the store?"
"I am the owner. I am not in a great mood now, so please f*ck off!" Xu Que was feeling even more now irritated due to the appearance of these odious men.
"How dare you talk to us in this tone? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" a man said.
"I don't care! Now f*ck off!" Xu Que said impatiently.
People in the street were drawn by the bickering and they all gathered around the store.
"They are the servants of Young Twelve! That young man must be mad, otherwise he would not dare to speak to them like that!"
"He is doomed. He just bought this store with eight million Spirit Stones of low quality, and now they are making trouble for him."
"He must be new to this city, I do feel sorry for him."
…
People began to feel sorry for Xu Que.
On the second floor of the restaurant, a young man said, "Young Twelve, people are gathering, what if the Water Empress finds out about this…"
Young Twelve smiled: "do not worry! The more people there are, the more interesting things will be! Remember to count how many times he hits my servants!"
"Yes!" These young people got excited again.
…
In the Zhai Bao Ge, one of the odious men said, "Young man, we do not want to make things difficult for you. Just give us the street fee. Since you are new to this city, you can just give us ten thousand Spirit Stones for this month."
You must be out of your mind! How dare you try to collect the damn street fee from me?
Xu Que sneered. "I see, the Gang of Twelve has sent you here!"
The odious men snickered. "Give us the street fee! Otherwise, you will regret it later!"
"But I heard that it is one thousand Spirit Stones per month. Are you f*cking out of your mind? You want to take ten thousand Spirit Stones from me?" Xu Que sneered and felt extremely angry.
Hearing this, all the people present took a deep breath.
Is this young man mad?! He already knows that these people were sent by the Gang of Twelve, he should at least change his tone. Young Twelve is notorious for his bad temper, anyone who offends his servants will be severely punished!
"How dare you!" the odious men said together. "How dare you talk with us like this? You have offended us, which means you have offended Young Twelve! We are the bosses around here, if we want you to hand us ten thousand Spirit Stones, you must do as we instruct. We can even ask you to hand us a hundred thousand Spirit Stones if we want. Indeed, I have changed my mind now—you'd better kneel down in front of us and give us a hundred thousand Spirit Stones… otherwise you will die tonight!"
The people present all shook their heads and looked at Xu Que with great sympathy.
Hearing this, Xu Que sneered. "you are just the dogs of the Gang of Twelve. How dare you stand in front of me and threaten me? Let me tell you one thing, you are going to die now!"
The next moment, a sword flew through the air like lightning, right in front of these odious men.

428 You Have Got More People On Your Side
Chapter 428: You Have Got More People On Your Side
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In a split second, the throats of all the men were cut. Blood spurted out as their lifeless bodies fell to the ground.
Everyone at present was stunned. No one made any sound.
No one saw had seen where the sword had come from, and they could not believe that Xu Que had dared kill people in the street in broad daylight. And even worse, he had killed Young Twelve's servants.
On the second floor of the restaurant, the youths were all silent and shocked.
"He... he killed... people!" a young woman said while her body trembled.
"Killing a person in the Imperial City is a capital crime!"
"He must be mad!"
They could not believe their eyes. After all, no one had ever killed anyone before under the rule of the Water Empress.
Young Twelve, however, smiled and got very excited.
He laughed. "It's getting more interesting! He's killed people, so I can too!"
"What?!" the young people were confused.
"Young Twelve, you're joking, right? What if the Water Empress comes back?"
"There is no need to be afraid. He has already committed a capital crime. Even if the Water Empress comes back, I can just say that I killed to protect the civilians, then she will have no choice but to reward me!" Young Twelve sneered.
"Haha! Our Young Twelve is really smart!"
"But that young man is in the Infant Transformation Stage, I don't think we can beat him!" a young man said.
Young Twelve said, "Take my token with you and bring a thousand soldiers here. Tell them to catch that young man who has just committed a capital crime."
"Yes!"
A young man took the token and hurriedly got off the restaurant.
…
Everyone was staring at Xu Que. Their eyes were full of fear and surprise.
Xu Que casually took back his sword as if nothing had happened.
He glanced at the corpses on the ground and said, "I have told you already that I am not in a good mood today. I finally had the chance to take a break today. Do you know killed a whole lot of people just two days ago? Did you really think I would be Mr Soft?"
Hearing this, the people at present were almost frightened to death.
He killed many people just two days ago? And he finally took a break from it? Does that mean he is a professional killer or someone who kills people everyday or something? No wonder he is acting so calm…
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Xu Que said and looked at them.
Does he want us to be his witnesses? I cannot possibly do this, I do not want to offend Young Twelve!
Thinking of this, many people tried to leave..
Xu Que suddenly took out a wood plate. There were a few words on it, which read 'buying various kinds of magic inscriptions for a high price'. He shouted, "Do not miss this great opportunity. I would love to buy magic inscriptions for a high price. Anyone who is interested, come to me!"
What?! What's wrong with him? Seriously, you just killed people, don't you want to run away? Instead, you are staying here and trying to do business? You are really very bold…
After a long while, no one came forward. This made Xu Que feel a bit upset.
"Should I go and loot a rich family or steal things from a treasure vault?" Xu Que murmured.
Right at that moment, the soldiers arrived.
"Get out of the way! Young Twelve's forces are here to catch the man who just killed people," shouted a young man leading the soldiers.
As soon as the people heard the name 'Young Twelve', they all backed away.
A few young men and women appeared. Behind them were a thousand strong soldiers who were all carrying broadswords on their backs.
"These are the finest soldiers of the third Duke!"
"Crickey! This young man is doomed!"
"He has killed people! He is guilty!"
…
Young Twelve, together with his young friends, walked towards Xu Que and stopped in front of him.
Young Twelve looked at Xu Que and smiled.
A young man said, "How dare you kill people in broad daylight?"
"It's none of your business!" Xu Que replied.
A soldier looked at the corpses on the ground, then he looked at Xu Que and said, "We are the soldiers of the third Duke. You have committed a crime, so please follow us to the Duke's residences."
"Who said I killed them? Do you have any proof?" Xu Que said.
Everyone was surprised by his words.
"Anyone who saw it please come forward. I will not hold a grudge against you as long as you do not slander me!" Xu Que shouted, holding his sharp sword in his hand.
You have taken out your sword, yet you're saying you won't hold a grudge?
The people around him did not want to get into trouble. They did not say a word.
The soldiers had no idea what to do and all looked at Young Twelve.
Young Twelve smiled. "I did!"
"Oh! Really?" Xu Que smiled back. "Fine. I did kill them. So what?"
"Well, you have committed a capital crime. You had better come with us!" Young Twelve sneered and ordered the soldiers to catch him.
"You have got more people on your side, this is really unfair!" Xu Que cursed.
"To be honest, I sent those odious men out to make trouble for you. You have killed them and broken the law. We have plenty of people, you cannot get out from this!"
"Oh, I have got more people than you think!" Xu Que was amazed.
I was just thinking of ways to get enough magic inscriptions, and now you are going to take me to your residence. Haha!
Xu Que took out a Message Delivering Paper and shouted, "Soldiers of Snow City, come to the third Duke's residence. We are going to loot their house!"

429 You Are Angry? Well, That“s What I Want!
Chapter 429: You Are Angry? Well, That's What I Want!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que's voice was so loud that his voice echoed through the whole Imperial City.
All the patrolling maids and eunuchs were very surprised, as were the three thousand soldiers of the Snow City.
"Is this the voice of General Zhuge?" someone asked while looking at the sky.
"Are we going to loot things again?" a soldier asked excitedly.
"This time is the third Duke's house?"
The soldiers of Snow City all got excited.
"Now, everyone follow me. We are going to meet with General Zhuge and loot the third Duke's residence!"
"Yes!" the soldiers replied.
Seeing the marching soldiers, the guards, the maids and the eunuchs were all frightened and hid away.
"Did the third Duke do something to make them angry?"
"Something serious is going to happen!"
"The third Duke is doomed!"
…
In the bedroom of the Princess Zi Xuan, Zi Xuan awoke to the sound of Xu Que's voice. Immediately, she shouted, "Go and find out what has happened!"
"Yes!" a maid answered.
Buttface woke up in the yard. He looked around and did not see Xu Que. Then he said angrily, "Sh*t! He is leaving me here and going to loot things himself?"
He quickly jumped up and dashed out of the yard.
…
Xu Que burned the Message Delivering Paper and smiled at the Young Twelve.
Is he crazy? He just said he is going to loot the third Duke's house. Where on earth did he come from? How can he be so tough knowing that the person in front of him is Young Twelve?! Is he just trying to act tough?
People at present were confused.
Young Twelve said, "Don't be ridiculous! You want to loot the third Duke's residence? Even the Water Empress would not dare to loot it for no reason!"
"The Water Empress is just too kind to do that! I am different. I am looting your house simply to save the world. There is no need to fuss, looting a house is just like a person's life—it will end in the blink of an eye." Xu Que shamelessly laughed.
Is he joking?! What does saving the world have to do with looting the third Duke's house?
Young Twelve was a bit gloomy and sneered, "Arrest him right now!"
"Yes!" all the soldiers came up and surrounded Xu Que.
Xu Que sighed, and took out his sharp sword.
Just as he was about to make his move, the soldiers of Snow City arrived.
"Hurry! Hurry! Let's loot the third Duke's house!"
"Get out of my way! I am coming!"
All the people turned around and were shocked by what they saw.
A huge amount of soldiers were marching towards them, and in front of them was a large dog!
When Buttface saw Xu Que being surrounded by the soldiers of the Imperial City, he became afraid and tried to run away. But the road had been blocked by the soldiers of Snow City…
A soldier of Snow City sneered and walked past Buttface. "Are they insane? General Xu Que cannot possibly be trapped by just a thousand soldiers!"
Hearing this, Buttface asked him: "how about us? How many people have we got?"
"Three thousand!"
"Haha! We have more people than them! Let's go and loot their house!"
The soldiers of the Imperial City, as well as Young Twelve, were stunned. They had never thought that Xu Que could make so many people come and help him in such a short amount of time.
"Xu Que, let's loot their house!" Buttface said excitedly.
Seeing the soldiers of the Snow City, the soldiers of the Imperial City did not dare to make a move.
Suddenly, all the soldiers of the Snow City knelt down and shouted, "General Zhuge!"
Their voices were as loud as the thunder.
General Zhuge?! What the hell!
Young Twelve and the young fellows in his gang were totally stunned.
He is General Zhuge? The man who took back all the lost cities in less than two days?!
"This can't be true!" a young man said.
The people in the crowd also began to talk about this amongst themselves.
"I can not believe my eyes, I never thought that General Zhuge would be so young!"
"My god! He is the General Zhuge who has been called the devil!"
"No wonder he is so calm and tough!"
…
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 900 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 320 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 350 Acting Tough Points!"
…
The sound of the system notifications kept ringing.
Xu Que looked at the stunned Young Twelve and smiled. "You said you wanted to arrest me. Come and arrest me!"
The Young Twelve said angrily, "I am not afraid of you. Don't forget that my father is the third Duke! You have no right to touch me!"
"Ha!"
Xu Que was amazed by his words. He reached out with a finger and poked Young Twelve in his chest.
"I am touching you now! What can you do about it? Are you angry? Are you angry? Well, that's what I want!"

430 “Xu Que“, the Devil
Chapter 430: "Xu Que", the Devil
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Young Twelve was furious, but he could not fight back.
Throughout the years, he had always thought that he was quite a big bully. But in front of Xu Que, he felt like a nobody.
He would never have had the guts to kill someone in broad daylight like Xu Que had, unless they had done something really bad.
But Xu Que was able to kill anyone he had a quarrel with.
Young Twelve felt that he had been overshadowed. That was why he did not dare fight back.
As for the soldiers of the Imperial City, they were all silent and pretended that they had not seen Xu Que mock Young Twelve.
After all, they were facing three thousand soldiers…
In fact, they were the soldiers of the Imperial City. That was something they should be proud of. But compared with the soldiers of Snow City who had gone through real battles, they were basically security guards.
"Fine! I am not a real bully actually. Besides, the Water Empress is an acquaintance of mine…" Xu Que said.
He stopped poking at Young Twelve.
Young Twelve got relieved.
As long as the Water Empress is still here, he cannot possibly hurt me.
"For her sake, after you die, I will keep your body intact. You don't need to worry about that. So, do you want to drink some poisonous liquid or would you rather hang yourself? Well, I'd personally prefer to kill you with my sword. Don't worry, it will be quick, I can assure you that you will not feel any pain at all," Xu Que said.
Hearing this, Young Twelve was shocked, as were the rest of the people.
"General Zhuge, please wait!" an old eunuch shouted, riding towards the crowd.
People quickly back away. The old eunuch jumped off the horse before the horse stopped and rushed into the crowd. "General Zhuge, please forgive him."
"Who the hell are you?" Xu Que frowned.
The old eunuch took out a jade bamboo slip and handed it to Xu Que.
"The Princess of Zi Xuan asks me to bring this to you and hopes that you will let him go. Before the Water Empress left, she said that we have to protect our last male successor…"
A jade bamboo slip. Zi Xuan is really considerate.
Xu Que smiled and took the jade bamboo slip. "Really, there is no need to bring a gift to me."
Everyone at present all held their breaths.
This young man is so cruel and unpredictable. How can he change moods so quickly?
However, his face turned gloomy when he found that the slip only bore a few words from Zi Xuan, not the magic inscriptions he wanted.
It read: 'Xu Que, my sister made a promise to my late father that she would do anything to protect the last male successor. If you kill him, that would mean that my sister has failed to keep her promise! By the way, I have prepared the map of the Imperial Tombs for you, I think you might need it.'
"I really need to teach this young chick a lesson!" Xu Que huffed.
He had meant to kill this bully for good, as judging from the facial expressions of the citizens, he could tell that Young Twelve never did anything good.
But if I kill him, the Water Empress will be unhappy. I mean to please her, not upset her.
"Fine! I will not kill you! Do not worry!" Xu Que put away the slip and smiled at Young Twelve.
Young Twelve could not suppress his relief but he did not say anything. The soldiers of the Imperial City were very relieved.
"I am talking with you, why are you silent? Soldier, fetch my Italian cannon…"
"Thank you!" Young Twelve answered.
Xu Que happily nodded. "Good! We should celebrate this! Hang him and his male peers up on the city wall and poke their penises a hundred times!"
"What?"
Everyone at present was speechless.
Hanging them up and poking their penises?! Seriously?
Young Twelve and the young men in his gang were frightened. They never thought that they would be punished like this.
The rest of the young girls in his gang were frightened as well. They were very nervous and had no idea what punishment they would receive.
"Xu Que, you cannot do this!" Buttface said.
Young Twelve and his peers' eyes sparkled. They thought the dog was pleading for them.
Buttface said, "If you do this, you would also be punishing the soldiers who are going to poke their penises. Who would want to do that? So I suggest that they poke each others' penises. Just send some soldiers to supervise them."
Hearing this, Young Twelve and his male gang members almost passed out.
Xu Que was amazed by his words and nodded. "Wow, that is a very good idea! Soldiers, hang them up. Anyone who dare to fight back shall be killed! By me!"
"Yes!"
Young Twelve and his male peers did not dare to complain and allowed the soldiers to hang them up. They knew that Xu Que was waiting for them to complain so he could use it as an excuse to kill them.
The soldiers and the old eunuch were all silent. The rest of the citizens around them all felt immensely happy.
Xu Que jumped on a horse and looked at the sky. "I am such a kind person! I have gotten rid of another bully for the people! Now, listen up, everyone!"
"Yes!" the soldiers shouted all together.
"Let's go and loot the third Duke's residence. I believe he has some sort of connections with these traitors. We must have a through investigation of his house!"
Thus they all marched towards the third Duke's house, leaving the rest of the crowd lost in their confusion.
Seriously, you call yourself kind?!
"A wicked man will always meet someone who is more wicked than him!" a old man said.
Hearing this, all the people nodded.
They could tell that the Young Twelve was a big a*shole, but that General Zhuge was a real devil, a shameless devil!

431 Bang, Bang, Bang!
Chapter 431: Bang, Bang, Bang!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que and his three thousand soldiers were marching towards the third Duke's residence.
On the other side, the soldiers of the Imperial City had no idea whether they should inform the Duke first or rescue Young Twelve first, feats which would be dangerous either way.
Thus, they just stood still.
…
In the main bedroom of the third Duke's residence, the door closed. Inside the room, a woman who was richly bejeweled began undressing a middle-aged man.
The man draped a pair of imperial robes on his body and sneered. "These are the imperial robes that belong to me!"
The woman covered her mouth with her hand and smiled. "Since you are wearing the imperial robes, you should start to call yourself 'Emperor' as well."
"Haha! Quite right!" The man laughed hard.
This room was shielded by a Protection Array, so they could not be heard by people outside.
Evidently, this middle-aged man was the third Duke, the father of Young Twelve. The woman was his wife.
The man was dressed like the Emperor of the Water Nation, whilst the woman was dressed like the Empress. Pathetically, they only dared to conduct such activities inside the privacy of their room.
"It won't take long before we can confidently stand in front of everyone else as the Emperor and the Empress." The third Duke smiled, enjoying the sight of himself in front of a mirror.
However, the woman complained, "When your elder brother died, you should have taken the opportunity to rebel. If it were not for that woman, you would already be the Emperor now!"
The third Duke said in a low voice, "It's not my fault. My elder brother suddenly had a daughter. In fact, I'd known all about this, but I'd simply forgotten at that moment. And then he passed his throne to that woman in front of all the officials before he died. I could do nothing to stop him!"
"Well, you should have at least recalled that your brother had a daughter before he revealed it himself… then that woman would not even have had the opportunity to take the throne!"
"So what?! That woman is going to stay the Empress for just over a decade. Anyway, I will soon take the throne back," the third Duke sneered.
The woman said, "A hundred years ago, you and your elder brother came and stayed in the Cultivation World for ten years. You came back with him again later after your cultivation. He could not possibly have had the time to meet women, so why did your elder brother pass his throne to an outsider?"
The third Duke frowned. "I have no idea, but I do feel very suspicious about this. Once I saw that my late brother was being very respectful to that woman, I'# thought I'd been wrong. But now when I think of this, I do feel there as if there is something wrong with all this!"
The woman waved her hand. "Never mind. I have already got enough soldiers and the Water Nation has just gone through two big battles. That woman has not come back yet. I think this is the best opportunity for us to take back the throne."
"By the way, we do owe a lot to that General. If it were not for him, we would never have been able to take back the lost cities this quickly!" the third Duke sneered.
In fact, only the third Duke knew that Hong Yan was not the real daughter of the late Emperor. With this secret in hand, he had been plotting to take the throne back for years and had been waiting for the right opportunity.
He believed that once he revealed this secret, he would definitely win the officials over to his side and subsequently win the throne back, since no one would allow an outsider to rule the country.
"Still, I am very curious about the identity of that General Zhuge. How did he manage to take back ten lost cities in two days. Can he really be the God of Armies? I am afraid he might be a threat to our plan!" the woman said.
The third Duke smiled. "You do not need to worry. Although I have not met him in person, I have been told that General Zhuge is very young and whenever he took back a city, he would loot the governor's residence, so he must be a greedy person. We can easily make him come to our side by giving him some money. I will invite him to our place tomorrow and we can see what he is really like."
"I knew it! You have something made up in your mind! Earlier, I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to put on the imperial robe." The woman gently patted him on his chest and settled into his embrace.
The third Duke laughed. "Since this morning, my eyelids have not stopped twitching. I felt a bit worried. But after I put on the robe, I finally calmed down. There is only one step between me and the throne now. Once I get the General on my side, the whole of Water Nation will be mine."
"Of course! But remember to lock Hong Yan up and torture her! She has made our son suffered so much these past few years!" the woman said harshly.
"Absolutely," the third Duke answered, picturing the Water Empress in his mind. There was lust in his eyes.
The woman was still resting in his embrace and did not notice this, but she did suddenly feel his erection.
She pouted playfully. "You are really energetic!"
Seeing her face, the third Duke had to suppress the urge to retch.
"By the way, I heard that every time the General loots a house, he always knocks on the door first and announces that he will not take a needle or a thread. And do you know what happens? After he goes in, he takes everything away apart from the needles and threads. Haha!" The woman began to laugh. "He is really shameless…"
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They heard someone knocking on the main door.
The pair stopped laughing.
"Open the door. We have come to check your water meter. I promise we will not take a needle or a thread from you!"

432 I am Powerful? Why?
Chapter 432: I am Powerful? Why?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Open the door, we have come to check your water meter. I promise we will not take a needle or a thread from you."
The two became rather serious.
"What's going on?"
"Can it be General Zhuge? Why on earth has he come here?" the third Duke asked.
The woman exclaimed, "Tell the servant not to open the door!"
…
A servant opened the door.
Then everyone heard the heavy steps of the soldiers.
"Who are you? You cannot break into the Duke's house like this! Get out!" the servant shouted.
"We are the army of justice. We think you have some connection to the traitors, so we have come to investigate. Peers, remember not to take away the needles and the threads... apart from that, you can take anything you want!"
"Yes!"
Then the whole house descended into chaos.
Objects were falling, servants and guards were shouting…
The third Duke and his wife were completely shocked. They had never thought that something like this would happen in broad daylight.
"How dare he! Does he really think that I am Mr Soft?" the third Duke spluttered furiously, readying himself to leave the room.
The woman stopped him and said, "Are you out of your mind? Are you going to go out there with this robe on?"
Hearing this, he quickly changed out of his robe.
Meanwhile, Xu Que had rushed into the main hall with his soldiers, trying to figure out where the library was. He wanted to find some magic inscriptions.
Buttface, however, had simply come here to play. He rushed into any room he liked and bit everything he saw.
Then inadvertently, he rushed towards the Duke's bedroom. He suddenly stopped in front of the door.
"Wait, I can sense that this room is under the protection of some kind of array. There must be something good hiding in here."
Hearing this, the soldiers who had come with him said excitedly, "We should immediately report this to General Zhuge."
"Stop! It was I who discovered this!" Buttface shouted.
"What?!" The soldiers were stunned.
The soldiers were all very loyal to Xu Que, so they wanted the honour of reporting this to Xu Que.
Aren't you the pet of the General Zhuge? Why you are even less loyal towards him than we are? Are you going to rebel against him?
Thinking of this, the soldiers all stared at Buttface. One soldier discreetly backed away and prepared himself to run away and report this to Xu Que.
Seeing this, Buttface explained, "What are you thinking?! I am not that sort of wolf! General Zhuge is so busy now, I think we should get the things out from inside the room first, then we will give them to him as a lovely surprise! What do you think?"
In fact, what he really wanted was to take the treasure for himself.
"Huh…" The soldiers nodded.
He does make sense. General Zhuge is so busy now, it isn't right to ask him to come over right now.
"But… Little Black has gone to inform the General Zhuge," a soldier said.
Buttface then shouted, "Then we should break this array right now!"
He jumped up and kicked the door.
The soldiers were moved by him.
He is truly loyal to General Zhuge. He has even tried to break the array with his physical body!
But before his feet could touch the door, the door opened by itself.
Bang!
Buttface kicked the Duke right in his face.
Even if the Duke had been in Level 5 of the Infant Transformation Stage, the bones in his head would break if he received the kick head-on.
However, the Duke reacted quickly by using the strength of the array and his own magic inscriptions.
Still, the bone of his nose was broken and blood flew out. He promptly passed out.
"Help!" the woman screamed from inside the room. "You b*stard! How dare you!" She freaked out, having never imagined that her husband would be kicked by a dog so hard that he would pass out.
"Buttface! What have you done this time?"
Xu Que had arrived.
Seeing the shock on the faces of Buttface and the soldiers, and the terrified woman who was screaming and covering her breasts with her hands, he felt very surprised.
"Christ! I never thought that you would be interested in this sort of woman."
"Shut up! I would never have sex with a human!" Buttface said angrily.
"I never realised you liked old and ugly women!" Xu Que exclaimed.
The soldiers followed Xu Que and all looked at Buttface with admiration. He is really a hero! If he were not a hero, he would never f*ck with this sort of woman!
Butface shouted, "For God's sake! I am not that sort of wolf, I can prove it!"
Then he jumped up again and kicked the woman.
The woman was at Level 1 of the Infant Transformation Stage. However, thanks to the remaining power of the array, most of Buttface's strength was canceled out.
Nevertheless, she passed out from the force of the kick and and fell onto the cupboard next to her.
Bang!
The cupboard broke, and out fell all kinds of jewelry as well as a blue imperial robe embroidered with golden threads.
Everyone at present was shocked by the sight of this robe.
There is an imperial robe in his room! Does he want to kill the Water Empress and be the next Emperor?
"General Zhuge…." The soldiers looked at Xu Que in surprise.
Earlier, when Xu Que had said that the Duke had some connections with traitors, they had not actually believed any of it. They had thought that he had just been making an excuse to loot the Duke's house. But now they had seen the evidence with their own eyes, and completely fell for Xu Que's ruse.
My god! The General Zhuge has been in this city for only one day, yet he has already uncovered the plans of the Duke to rebel… he really is good!
"General Zhuge, you are really powerful!" the soldiers shouted together.
Xu Que was confused.
I am powerful? Why? Anyway, I need to act tough now!
He quickly put his hands behind his back and looked up to the sky, saying, "I need to be modest…"

433 What a Good Young Man!!
Chapter 433: What a Good Young Man!!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 600 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 320 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 330 Acting Tough Points!"
…
Xu Que looked at the Duke and his wife. His eyes travelled over the imperial robe and he sneered.
How lucky I am! I randomly picked a house to loot, but managed to pick one with a Duke inside who intends to rebel!
Things are getting more interesting... once I report him, his whole family will be killed. His son Young Twelve will of course be killed too.
"This is ridiculous, how dare you?" Xu Que said as he walked into the room. "I already discovered your plans for rebellion long before, that is why I sent Buttface here to arrest you two! Buttface, good job!"
Xu Que patted Buttface on his head.
Buttface was surprised.
"What? I have done something good?"
"Yes! You successfully completed the task I gav you, and I will reward you for it later!" Xu Que said happily.
Hearing this, Buttface was still confused.
What is happening? I successfully completed a task?! What task?! I meant to take all the treasured objects myself before he arrived… I just feel a bit awkward receiving an reward that has come out of nowhere…
"What reward?" Buttface asked happily.
"This fat, old woman is yours!" Xu Que picked up the unconscious woman and threw her over to Buttface.
The woman fell on top of him before he could realize what was going on. Since the woman was extremely heavy, he could not move under he weight.
"Everyone now leave the room, we should leave this space for Buttface and his beauty themselves in private!" Xu Que said, carrying the unconscious Duke outside.
"Come back! You b*stard!" Buttface struggled to get out from under the woman's weight.
But Xu Que had already left…
The soldiers all laughed and shook their heads. They had already gotten used to Buttface's cursing. Then, carrying the unconscious woman, they walked out of the room.
…
Soon, everyone in the Imperial City heard the news that the third Duke had been wanting to take the throne.
"How dare he! The Water Empress has been managing this city so well yet here he was, plotting to take the throne! What trash!"
"I knew it! His son is already a thug, so he himself could not have possibly been a nice person!"
"In fact. I even heard that the Duke has raped many young girls, and has never been punished for it. People say it is just gossip, but every time it happened, the entire family of the victim would vanish!"
"Then it is true!"
"He is repulsive!"
Gradually, all his notorious secrets were revealed.
"The Duke is indeed a lecherous man, he has raped many young women…" a random soldier said, having come from the Duke's residence.
"If it were not for General Zhuge, we might never have known this!"
"It seems that General Zhuge already knew about this, which was why he went to loot his house."
"I knew it. General Zhuge looks so handsome and gentle, he cannot be a bandit. He must have found proof of the Duke's bad intentions before going to loot his house!"
"Yes! Someone said he is like a devil! How absurd! In my opinion, he is gentle and kind, and a very thoughtful General. He is the bedrock and the future of out country."
"I agree! What a good young man he is!"
"In the future, anyone who dares to talk badly about General Zhuge shall be reported!"
"I concur!"
…
Thus, in people's view, Xu Que became a gentle and kind young man.
…
In the palace , the Princess Zi Xuan was shocked when she heard about the news. She frowned and said, "Did he really know about this before looting the Duke's house? I think there must be more to it!"
…
Soon, all the other Dukes in the city heard about these events. They all got very angry.
…
Young Twelve, whose penis had already been poked ninety-nine times, passed out when he heard the news.
So did his male peers.
The supervisor then said, "Do not stop, get up and continue! Since you guys stopped, you'll need to do it all over again! Hurry up, one two three…"
…
Xu Que, the Duke and some soldiers gathered in a secret room.
Xu Que managed to find the secret room and obtained hundreds of books of magic inscriptions, as well as countless Spirit Stones, and a supply of medicine.
He kept the magic inscriptions all to himself and delivered the Spirit Stones and the medicine to the rest of the soldiers.
When the Duke woke up, he saw the soldiers looting his house and passed out again.
When he woke up again, he found the secret room had been emptied out. He himself had been pinned to the wall.
In front of him, a handsome young man stood smiling at him.
"What are you doing?" the Dukes shouted.
Xu Que had already asked all the soldiers to leave the room, so it was only him and the Duke in the room now.
He took out his Killer Sword and walked over to the Duke.
"You want to take the throne. I have all the proof I need. If you want to be killed in a more merciful way, you'd better tell me where you have secreted the rest of the magic inscriptions!"
"You have taken them all already!" the Duke shouted.
Xu Que was a bit disappointed. "Really? Never mind. Then I shall kill you now since you are useless to me."
Then he put the Killer Sword against the Duke's neck.
"Wait! Wait! But I have got a secret! The Water Empress is not the real daughter of the late Emperor!"
"What?!"
Xu Que stopped and stared at the Duke and asked in a low voice, "You mean you know her true identity?"

434 The Water Empress Came Back
Chapter 434: The Water Empress Came Back
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In fact, Xu Que had already guessed that the Water Empress might not be the daughter of the late Emperor. Her personality was so outstanding, a woman like her would never be born in a country like the Water Nation.
Besides, Liu Jingning had already told him that the Water Empress came from the Jiang Family.
Where is the Jiang Family? How big it is? Well, I have no idea.
Thinking of this, Xu Que realised that he knew basically nothing about the Water Empress. So when the Duke mentioned this, he suddenly became very interested.
Apart from the fact that she was not the real daughter of the late Emperor, the Duke seemed to have no idea where the Water Empress had come from or why she hadbpretended to be the late Emperor's heiress.
The third Duke said in a low voice, "It is not important to find out where she really comes from. No matter what happens, I have got proof to show that she is not the daughter of the late Emperor."
Hearing this, Xu Que felt a bit unhappy.
F*ck you! No one asked you to prove that!
The Duke said, "General Zhuge, I admire you very much. I meant to invite you here today, but then you came without my invitation. If you agree to become my ally, with the soldiers I have and the secret I hold, we can definitely take the throne! When I become the new Emperor, I will give you whatever you want."
"Go to hell! You know nothing and are just wasting my time." Xu Que said angrily.
The Duke did know that everyone in the city had already known about his scheme.
Xu Que was only interested in where the Water Empress really came from. But since the Duke knew nothing about it, he thus felt there was no need to keep him alive.
"How dare you talk to me in that tone? You…" the Duke was shocked by Xu Que's words.
"You should go and meet your maker now!" Xu Que prepared to kill him with his sword.
The Duke tried to break free from his shackles, but as he had been kicked by Buttface, he was injured and could not move.
"Wait! I can promise you that once I become the Emperor, I will grant you fortunes that will be enough for you to live out your life in luxury!" the Duke shouted.
Hearing this, Xu Que sneered. "I just want magic inscriptions."
"Of course, there are plenty of magic inscriptions in the palace. You can pick what you like!" the Duke shouted.
"Don't bother. I can still pick and choose after I talk with the Water Empress," Xu Que said.
The sword quickly flew down like lightning, leaving a slash on the Duke's throat.
"You are just a Duke, how dare you take away the throne of the woman I admire!" Xu Que said angrily.
"Huh…" the Duke opened his mouth.
Then the light in his eyes dimmed, and he died.
For Xu Que, killing a Duke was not a big deal. But for the people in the Imperial City, it was really a big deal!
After all, the Duke was a Duke and a relative of the royals. He was not someone who could be killed at random by a General.
After Xu Que killed the Duke, he looted the Duke's residence again.
When Young Twelve heard the news, he tried to flee the city. But since his penis was swollen, he found it difficult to run fast. At last, he was caught up to by Buttface and was kicked to death by him.
Buttface had meant to catch him alive so he could ask for a reward from Xu Que. He had never thought that Young Twelve would be such a weak creature.
The whole Imperial City was shaken by this news.
"General Zhuge killed the Duke, and his dog killed Young Twelve!"
"He basically killed the Duke's whole family."
"No matter how bad Young Twelve is, he is still the only male heir of the throne…"
"When the Water Empress comes back, General Zhuge and his dog are bound to be punished!"
"I do not think so. After all, the General has made such a great contribution to the city, so he will be fine. Besides, it was the Duke who wanted to rebel!"
"Then, that dog is surely going to be severely punished."
…
After Buttface heard about this, he knew there was a big chance that he would be punished. That night, he stole a pile of food from the kitchen of the palace and ran away.
Before he left, he told others that it had been Xu Que who had ordered him to kill Young Twelve, and he would only come back if he was proved not guilty.
When Xu Que heard about this, he was speechless. He then went straight back to the palace and continued dwelling there as if nothing had happened.
During the time he was in the palace, the Princess Zi Xuan did not pay him a single visit.
Xu Que asked the System to recycle all the books of magic inscriptions that he had obtained, and changed them into the Skill Essence. Then he began to upgrade the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders.
This time, the process of upgrading reached 70 percent.
Xu Que was rather angry about this, but he could do nothing but curse the System.
After all, 70 percent was already quite a big improvement from before, and Xu Que was already at Level 10 of the Original Infant Stage, if he could make a shadowmeld of his own, the shadowmeld could also reach Level 10 of the Original Infant Stage.
…
Two days later, the Water Empress came back.
Flying down brandishing a shining sword, she landed on the ground slowly.
All the people and cultivators in the city felt very happy and shouted together, "Welcome home, Your Highness!"
The Water Empress smiled.
She walked forward slowly and elegantly. It seemed like she was walking slowly, but every step she took could cover the distance of a thousand miles.
Before she could reach the palace, Zi Xuan met her and told her everything Xu Que had done.
The Water Empress shook her head and smiled. "It's fine, I already knew about this."
"Sister, are you really going to let him go this time? He has killed the Duke and Young Twelve. All the people in the city are talking about this. If you do not punish him, people would say that you are mixing your personal feelings in with business." Zi Xuan was shocked.
She thought the Water Empress' reputation was very important, yes, and she did also feel that Xu Que had not done anything too extreme... but she thought the Water Empress should at least punish him a little bit.
The Water Empress smiled calmly. "If he were someone else, I might have been able to punish him. But he is Xu Que… I just can't."
Then she looked at the palace and asked, "Is he still in the palace?"
"He is, and he basically lives here as if the palace is his home!" Zi Xuan complained.
"Haha, it's fine." The Water Empress smiled.
"He lives in your bedroom! You still think that's fine?"
Hearing this, the Water Empress' smile froze.

435 chapter 435
Chapter 435: chapter 435
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Over the past few days, Xu Que had been living in the Water Empress' bedroom as if it were his own. No one in the palace dared to complain about this, including Zi Xuan. But when she had heard that Xu Que was living in her sister's bedroom, she had been truly furious.
The reason why she had not gone and asked him to leave was because she knew that she could not persuade Xu Que. In her view, Xu Que was shameless and someone who did not care about the rules.
As soon as the Water Empress came back, Zi Xuan therefore immediately told her about this.
The Water Empress was always calm and demure but when she heard about this, she was also a bit surprised.
Throughout the years, the Water Empress had never been with any man, and no one had ever stepped into her bedroom apart from herself. She had just been away from the palace for a few days, but it seemed her bedroom had already been 'occupied' by a man.
"Sister, you cannot possibly let him go on this!" Zi Xuan said angrily.
"Come with me." The Water Empress smiled and walked towards to the palace.
In fact, the Water Empress could not punish Xu Que. She knew his character. In her view, he was very unique and rebellious, and someone who liked to do things according to his own will. No matter how much trouble he made, he would always deal with it.
She regarded him as her junior. She appreciated him very much and could forgive anything he did.
So when she heard that Xu Que had been living in her bedroom for many days, she was not angry at all.
She had made her mind up that when she saw him, she would not say anything. She wanted to see how he was going to defend himself.
When they arrived at the bedroom, they saw Xu Que standing outside the bedroom, as if he was guarding it.
How beautiful she is! I will never get tired of her looks, she is a woman that only a god would be able to make his wife!
The Water Empress was staring at him and smiling.
Xu Que then said with a serious face, "You have finally come back, young lady! I have done so much in the past days. I have taken back all the lost cities for you and kicked out all the traitors, I have even been guarding your bedroom."
Guarding the bedroom?!
Hearing this, Zi Xuan was speechless.
She had been told by some maids that after moving into the Water Empress' bedroom, he had slept in her bed and sung every night.
He is really a shameless man!
Thinking of this, Zi Xuan shouted, "Nonsense! The entire palace is heavily guarded by soldiers, there is no need for you to guard my sister's bedroom!"
"Oh, really? Just two days ago, I caught a thief in here who calls herself the Ice Queen…" Xu Que said.
Hearing this, the Water Empress was surprised and asked, "Where is she now? You haven't killed her, right?"
"I am a soft person who would not even kill an ant, so I let her go," Xu Que boasted.
Hearing this, the Water Empress was relieved.
"Zi Xuan, you should go back now, I want to have a chat with this young man."
"Ok, but you have to teach him a lesson this time! Do not let him go!" Zi Xuan said. Then she glared at Xu Que and left.
The Water Empress did not say anything. She went right into her room to see how her room had changed.
In fact, when Xu Que had heard that the Water Empress had come back, he had immediately begun to clean the room.
The Water Empress sat quietly around a table.
"Why have you suddenly come to the Water Nation? Are you in trouble again?" she asked.
The Water Empress did not mention Snow City or the third Duke.
Xu Que shook his head. "Why would I be in trouble? To be honest, I have come for the Dragon Veins. But there is one more thing…"
"You need my help?" the Water Empress smiled.
Xu Que shook his head again. "No, it is not like that. In fact, you are the one who needs help from me. Liu Jingning asked me to help you."
The Water Empress was surprised. "Little chap, she couldn't possibly have said anything like that."
"I mean it. She told me everything. You come from the Jiang family and you have suffered a lot. She asked me to improve myself so I can help you through this."
The Water Empress smiled. "If she did indeed tell you this, she must mean that you should not help me, since you can't."
Huh… Just as the Water Empress had said, Liu Jingning had indeed actually asked Xu Que not to get involved in this, as she believed that Xu Que could not help the Water Empress.
Xu Que was confused.
What difficulties is she going to face? Why are she and Liu Jingning all saying that I cannot be of help?
"What is really going on? Tell me, I can help you," Xu Que said carefully.
The Water Empress shook her head. "You really can't. Little chap, you should focus on your own cultivation. With your talent, your future will be bright."
"You haven't even told me about it, how on earth do you know that I can't help you? Young lady, you are a bit full of yourself, in fact, I might one day be more powerful than you," Xu Que said.
"I know you are powerful. But even so, even if you reach the Form Synthesis Stage, you still would not be able to help me. The reason why I am not telling you is because knowing it might bring some bad luck to you…"
The Water Empress smiled. "In the future, do not kill so many people, it won't do much good for you."
"Who knows what will happen in the future? You know I am a very generous and warm-hearted person. Even if you do not tell me, I have already decided that I will help you no matter what you say!" Xu Que said seriously.
Anyway, I will find out your secret next time I catch Liu Jingning.
The Water Empress smiled. Then she took out a strange-looking jade from her storage ring and gave it to Xu Que.
"What is this?" Xu Que was a bit confused.
The jade was blue, as if it was made from water, and there was no Qi emanating from the jade.
"You came here for the Veins, didn't you? With this jade, you will easily get into the Imperial Tombs." The Water Empress smiled.
Xu Que was stunned. "What if when I pluck the Genesis Water Herbs from the Veins, I bring bad luck to your country?"
In fact, Xu Que had already decided to sneak into the Imperial Tombs and make new Veins for the Water Nation after plucking the Genesis Water Herbs. He thought that even if the Veins he made were not as good as the original, they would at least not bring any unwanted consequences to the Water Nation.
He had never thought the Water Empress would just give him this piece of jade, which was the key to entering the Imperial Tombs.
"Do not worry. The Veins indeed have a close connection with the fate of my country, but a country's prosperity should solely rely on me!" the Water Empress said.
She did not care about the Veins in this country, because she knew that no matter how strong they were, her country still wouldn't be able to thrive unless it had a wise and able leader.
Xu Que took the jade. "I will make another set of Dragon Veins for the Water Nation and remake the Imperial Tombs anew. Believe me, your country will be fine. But before that, I want you to tell me something about a man."
"Who?"
"Duan Jiu De."

436 The Water Empress is Going to Hold an Auction?
Chapter 436: The Water Empress is Going to Hold an Auction?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Duan Jiu De?
Hearing this name, the Water Empress was confused. "Isn't he your master? Why on earth would you want me to tell you something about your own master?"
"Master my ass! Those were all lies. I don't even know him. I used to pretend to be his disciple so people would be afraid of me. However, recently, he looted the Imperial Tombs of the Earth Nation and Wood Nation and plucked their herbs. After that, he told the world that he is also a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, and asked me to go see him!" Xu Que was getting furious. "I have never met a man as shameless as him!"
"Duan Jiu De would not forgive you for this and he would definitely seek revenge. I suggest you stay in the palace and hone your cultivation," the Water Empress said gently.
Xu Que sneered. "He took two herbs that are supposed to be mine. I will teach him a lesson as soon as I get my hands on the Genesis Water Herbs."
Before this, Xu Que had already plucked the Genesis Fire Herbs during his time in Country. This had alerted Duan Jiu De to the fact that Xu Que wanted the Genesis Five Herbs. So now, he had taken the Genesis Earth Herbs and the Genesis Wood Herbs in order to lure Xu Que out.
In fact, Xu Que had already decided that even if he had already taken the herbs away, he would have to teach him a lesson.
But the problem was that he had no idea where Duan Jiu De was. So he was asking the Water Empress to see if she had any ideas.
"He indeed has a very complicated background, even I do not know too much about him. I suggest you let him go. Although the Genesis Five Herbs are very rare, they are not that essential. You can just stay here and practise your cultivation, just forget this business," the Water Empress said calmly.
Although she did not know too much about Duan Jiu De, she knew that he was a cruel man. Even if Xu Que managed to find him, he would not be able to defeat him.
Xu Que shook his head. "I don't care. Once I find him, I will punch him in the face!"
The Water Empress knew that Xu Que was a stubborn man who would not change his mind easily. She then smiled and said, "I will help you then."
Hearing this, Xu Que smiled. "Deal! Let's make a pinky promise!"
He put his finger against the Water Empress'. "Pinky, pinky bow-bell, whoever tells a lie will sink down to the underworld and never rise up again."
The Water Empress was surprised and frowned a bit.
"All right! You should stick to your promise. This is really serious."
The Water Empress was speechless.
But after a while, Xu Que started to feel a bit insecure. In fact, the pinky swear had just been a sort of show, he had just wanted an excuse to touch the Water Empress. But now he felt insecure as the Water Empress had gone silent.
"Huh, it is late now, we'd better sleep now. You sleep on this side, I will take the other side… never mind, I will go back to my room, since I have got some letters to write." Xu Que changed his tune when the Water Empress' facial expression got strange.
Xu Que went back to his room and patted himself on his chest. He was finally feeling relieved.
She is really quite something! I have slept with so many women before, so why on earth am I such coward in front of her? How embarrassing!
Xu Que slapped himself.
"Huh, why you are slapping yourself? Well. let me do it for you," Buttface said.
Xu Que turned his head around and saw Buttface coming out of a hole in a corner of his room.
"You shameless b*stard! How dare you come back?!" Xu Que said angrily and pressed down hard on the dog's head.
"Let me go!" Buttface shouted.
"Go f*ck yourself. How dare you talk ill of me when you were the one who ran away last time! I am going to teach you a lesson this time."
Buttface struggled hard to run away and hit the wall with his body.
Bang!
The wall collapsed. Then he quickly ran away. "B*stard!"
Xu Que snapped his fingers and chanted a magic inscription.
"Aaaah!"
The collar on his neck was shrinking, he then fell on the ground and began to scream.
Xu Que hit him bitterly and he finally calmed down.
"I just came back to get more food... the food I took with me was not enough at all…"
"Stay here, if you dare to run away, I will boil you for soup."
Buttface did not dare say anything and pretended to be sleeping.
…
The next morning, Xu Que woke up early, about to head to the Imperial Tombs.
Before he opened the door, he head a few maids talking outside.
"Why on earth does the Water Empress suddenly want to hold an auction? Those objects are all her favorites."
"I heard that all the money has been taken away by the Ice Queen. The people are in dire need of money, so she has decided to sell her belongings."
"In fact, if she asked the rich businessmen and the Dukes for help, they would definitely donate a huge amount of money and Spirit Stones to her. But she is too kind to make such a request."
"Anyway, I believe the auction will be a great success. Like the few belongings she always takes with her, people would definitely buy them."
"Of course. I heard that the Water Empress even took out some books of magic inscriptions and magic weapons. She must be in great need of money and Spirit Stones."
…
Hearing this, Xu Que was surprised.
All the money's gone? The Water Empress is going to hold an auction? To sell her belongings? I should be the one to buy them off! I can't possibly allow anyone else to get them!
He opened the door and went straight to the bedroom of the Water Empress.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Young lady, open the door. I have come to check your water meter...oh, no, I have actually come to 'bribe' you."

437 I Promise I Will Not Make Any Trouble
Chapter 437: I Promise I Will Not Make Any Trouble
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The door suddenly opened. Xu Que's hand hovered over the Water Empress' delicate and beautiful face, poised to knock.
He smiled. "I heard that you are going to held an auction."
The Water Empress smiled and nodded. "You are right. After all the battles, many people have lost their homes and become refugees. I need some money and Spirit Stones to help them."
"You should ask for help from me. I have got plenty of money and Spirit Stones, I will give them to you," Xu Que said, about to take out the Spirit Stones and money out.
The Water Empress waved her hand and smiled. "There is no need. You should keep your Spirit Stones, you will need them in the future. I will take care of the refugees."
"Young lady, remember that we are friends. Look at how close we are. Do not worry, I have more Spirit Stones than I need," Xu Que said.
Still, the Water Empress did not accept his request.
Xu Que recalled what the Ice Queen had told him. She had asked him not to get involved in anything to do with the Water Empress.
The Water Empress looked very mild, but in fact she made people think that she was a very indifferent and independent woman.
As for Xu Que, he was an exception. In the past, he had accidently seen her naked, which had actually brought them closer. Also, Xu Que had invented many peculiar things, like the fried chicken wings and stinky tofu, and had killed the Old God of Killing of Tian Sha as well as the Fire Emperor. After all these things, the Water Empress had become more fond of him.
"How about this, I will buy all your belongings, and you will earn more than what you would get in the auction," Xu Que said.
The Water Empress shook her head and smiled. "They are all just ordinary magic weapons and accessories. Plus, I already sent them to the auction house."
"What?! You have sent them to the auction house?" Xu Que got a bit nervous.
The Water Empress was amazed by him. "Little chap, go back to honing your cultivation. If I've guessed right, you are about to go through your Heavenly Trial!"
"Young lady, you are being rather serious about this. I don't care about the so-called Heavenly Trial, we are talking about the auction, now tell me where the auction house is!" Xu Que got a bit impatient as he was afraid that the Water Empress' belongings would be bought off by others.
"You cannot go to the auction!" the Water Empress said as she shook her head.
"Why?" Xu Que was a bit confused.
Why can't I go? Yes, she is beautiful, but she cannot bully me…
The Water Empress did not reply and simply stared at him.
Xu Que suddenly thought this through and blushed. "Don't worry, I promise I won't make any trouble."
Clearly, the Water Empress was worried that once he went to the auction, he would immediately buy all the objects…
After all, no matter where Xu Que went, he would cause trouble.
"You know what, you are even more famous than me in the Imperial City." The Water Empress smiled.
In the past few days, almost everyone had come to know Xu Que and become his fan. If he really went to the auction and named a price, no one would dare to try bid a higher price than him.
"Have you forgotten what I looked like when you saw me for the first time? I am very good at the tactic of disguising oneself." Xu Que laughed.
He then took out a mask that resembled the Chinese actor Hu Ge and put it on his face.
The Water Empress was a bit surprised. She carefully looked at his new face for a while. "It does not suit you, your own face looks more energetic than that."
"Of course. Everyone says that I am the most handsome man in the world. Okay, you'd better tell me where you are going to hold the auction. I need to go there and buy some magic inscriptions," Xu Que said.
The Water Empress smiled and took out a jade invitation card with gold stamping. The invitation card was delicately made, and was as thin as a piece of paper. Moreover, it was emitting Qi from time to time.
"Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce? The building in the center market of the city?" Xu Que smiled.
A few days ago, he had walked past the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce whilst on his way to the third Duke's residence.
"Remember, don't let anyone else recognize you and do not cause any troubles. They have very strong back up, you must follow their rules," the Water Empress said seriously.
"Fine, I promise I will behave myself," Xu Que said and quickly went outside.
"Wait! Do not kill anyone this time!"
"What?! I cannot hear you! Good bye!"
Xu Que pretended he had not heard her. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
The Water Empress summoned a maid. "Get someone to tell the people in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce that I have something to do and will not be attending the auction."
"Yes," the maid said.
…
Xu Que extended his Black Flamed Wings, riding on the lightning. In just a few seconds, he arrived at the market in the center of the city.
As expected, there was a huge number of people in the street.
As soon as the news spread that the Water Empress was going to sell some of her personal belongings and some advanced magic weapons, many people from rich families had gathered in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce.
Since the Water Empress was very famous in the city and especially favored by young people, many young people were also attending the auction. Of course, some old and powerful cultivators were also there at the auction.
Suddenly, Xu Que appeared.
He was now wearing a new face and a new pair of clothes. He looked like a ranger in the World of Cultivators.
Since he now looked exactly like Hu Ge, who was a very handsome young man, many female cultivators were staring at him.
Xu Que hurried to the entrance and was relieved when he saw that the auction had not started yet.
A guard stopped him. "Show me your invitation card and tell me your name!"
Xu Que took out his jade invitation card with gold stamping and smiled. "Wang Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"

438 Chapter 438
Chapter 438: Chapter 438
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"A jade invitation card?"
Suddenly the facial expressions of everyone at the entrance, including the guard who had stopped Xu Que, changed. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
A young man who had never been heard of was attending the auction with a jade invitation card!
Who was he?
All at once, people at the entrance were surprised and started to whisper to one another.
"The background of this young man is really unfathomable!"
"For each auction held by Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, only ten jade invitation cards are sent out to the five nations; speaking on average, only two people in each nation can obtain a jade invitation card! Could it be that this young man has come from another nation?"
"It is a pity that there is no signature on the jade invitation card; otherwise we could know his identity!"
"Just now I heard that he said he is Wang Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"Holy shit! The Exploding Heavens Faction! Isn't he coming from the faction of General Zhuge?"
"Amazing! Even General Zhuge who is so powerful didn't get a jade invitation card, but this guy from the same faction was able to get one!"
"It seems that this guy is also a very powerful person!"
…
With many people exclaiming about his appearance, Xu Que stepped into the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce.
Compared to the imperial palace of the Water Nation, this five-story building was less spacious but of identical magnificence.
After he entered the building, Xu Que was surrounded by luxurious decorations. Glass cups which could be used as magical artifacts were placed in the building as lamps. Precious potions were being burnt in the incense burners like sandalwood incense, giving out an intoxicating aroma.
As a holder of the jade invitation card, Xu Que was classified as one of the top-level customers of the Chamber of Commerce. Once he stepped into the building, a designated waiter showed him the way to a small private room on the second floor immediately.
It was not a large room. Inside the room were a table and several chairs, were made of purple gold rosewood and giving off a light fragrance.
There was no wall on the far end of the room, which was only covered by a blind. One could take in everything happening in the hall of the first floor at a glance from this room.
At the center of the hall was a platform. Rows of chairs had been placed around the platform. Now, a lot of people had taken their seats. These people were ordinary participants in the auction, who had paid the admission fee with several hundred Spirit Stones.
"Lord Wang, from here you can see everything that happens in the auction. In case you want to bid for some treasures, please just knock at the brass bell and state your price," said the waiter who guided Xu Que, voice reverent at that moment.
"Uhm!"
Xu Que pretended to be proud and aloof by nodding his head and remaining reticent.
"Lord Wang, please make yourself at home; and if you need anything anytime, please call me." The waiter, who knew how to behave in a delicate situation, left the room after saying these words.
Xu Que walked to the blind and looked around.
His room was not the only room on the second floor. There were another nine rooms around the hall, so that everyone in these ten rooms could see everything that happened in the hall clearly.
"Huh?"
Hardly had Xu Que walked to the blind when he found a figure in the room opposite his. It seemed as if that person was also looking at Xu Que.
The blinds prevented Xu Que from seeing the face of that person clearly. However, Xu Que could see that the person was a lady according to her figure. The cultivation level of this lady was quite impressive, for she had reached level 5 of the Infant Transformation Stage.
"It seems the five nations have a lot of experts!" Xu Que smiled a bit and stopped focusing his attention on the other participants of the auction. He had made up his mind to buy everything related to the Water Empress.
With the passage of time, the hall became more and more crowded. Almost all seats had been taken.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows abruptly and chuckled a bit. Then he concentrated his True Core Strength and nipped the fingers of both hands. Lightnings tangled up and crackled in his palms.
"Whoosh!" the next moment, a light figure scurried out from Xu Que's body and dashed to a corner of the hall directly.
After that, a figure, who looked exactly like Xu Que, walked out from the corner. However, the cultivation of this figure was only Level 7 of the Original Infant Stage.
"It seems this Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders is quite reliable. Even I can't tell the difference," Xu Que said to himself.
Xu Que summoned his illusionary body and made it occupy a position downstairs, so that the illusionary body could cooperate with him in buying everything related to the Water Empress.
Xu Que was wearing the human-skinned mask; however, the disguise effect was unavailable for his illusionary body. Therefore, the illusionary body, which was exactly like Xu Que, would definitely be recognized by others.
"System, can the appearance of the illusionary body be changed?" Xu Que summoned the system and asked.
Ding! "The host can change the appearance of the illusionary body freely with the soul strength."
"Huh? I don't need to spend Acting Tough Points on it, right?"
Xu Que was amazed. Did this unscrupulous system change its character? This time it didn't even ask for any Acting Tough Points!
Ding! "You don't need to spend Acting Tough Points on that!" the system replied.
….
Hearing the system's reply, Xu Que was still not accustomed to its newfound benevolence.
But he didn't waste time and immediately allocated more soul strength to the illusionary body. Meanwhile, he conceived the appearance of an ordinary man in his mind. The next moment, the appearance of his illusionary body changed accordingly.
"Ha! Not bad! I like this function!" Xu Que was pleasantly surprised.
I can change the appearance of my illusionary body at will. It will be very convenient when the illusionary body is asked to do something evil in future.
"Dong!"
At this moment, a clear bell rang.
After hearing the bell ring, the noisy crowds in the hall quieted down instantly.
After that, a voluptuous and gorgeous lady walked into the hall. She was wearing a red court dress; however, her skirt barely covered her upper thighs.
Her dress would have been quite normal on Earth. However, in this Cultivation World, it seemed absolutely edgy and bold.
After the emergence of the lady in the hall, she became eye-candy immediately. Numerous people fixed their eyes on her long legs that were uncovered under her short skirt.
"Dear fellow cultivators, welcome to the auction of our chamber of commerce. I am the auctioneer of this auction," the lady who was wearing the court dress said with a smile. Her voice was clear and a little bit cutesy, which made the audience's ears feel limp and numb.
A lot of young cultivators in the hall couldn't help swallowing while staring at the lady with fiery eyes.
Sitting on the second floor, Xu Que smiled a bit.
The lady who was wearing the court dress was not as simple as her appearance. Her actions and words were saturated with a certain charm art, which could easily fascinate people with low cultivation. It could even make them state prices impulsively during the auction!
"Hehe, you really have the nerve to show off this easy trick here!" Xu Que showed his contempt.
His voice was not loud. To his surprise, it seemed that the lady who was wearing the court dress heard what he said. The next moment, she raised her head and looked toward Xu Que with a meditative smile on her mouth.
Xu Que's eyes twitched a bit and he fell into stunned silence. Isn't the hearing of this woman too acute?
Without saying anything, the lady cast a hurried glance towards Xu Que and then slowly stepped onto the platform in the center of the hall, in full view of the fiery eyes of the audience.
Several waiters also queued up and walked towards the platform. Each of them was carrying large jade plates in their hands, which were covered by red cloth. The audience couldn't see the items under the red cloth.
When the first waiter stepped onto the platform and stopped beside the lady who was wearing the court dress, the lady uncovered the red cloth with her delicate hands.
"Today's first auction item is a magical artifact forged by Her Royal Highness the Water Empress. The name of this artifact is the Azure Sea Cloud Amulet, which is a two-star magical artifact. It can refresh the mind of its wearer! The reserve price of this artifact is 50,000 low grade Spirit Stones. For each bid, at least 10,000 low grade Spirit Stones shall be added. OK, everybody, please start the bidding!"
After finishing her words, the lady who was wearing the court dress glanced over at all cultivators in the hall with smile.
Many young cultivators had planned to buy items of the Water Empress, so they started to show their eagerness and were about to raise their hands to bid joyfully.
Dong!
At this moment, a clear tinkle of a brass bell was heard from the second floor.
After that came a sonorous voice!
"I, Wang Sicong, make a bid of one million!"

439 I Will Get Everything
Chapter 439: I Will Get Everything
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing what Xu Que had said, everyone there was shocked.
A million Spirit Stones of low quality?
People all looked up to the room on the second floor that Xu Que was sitting in.
In fact, a two-star magic weapon, even if it had been made by the Water Empress herself, could at most be sold for the price of a hundred or two hundred thousand Spiritual Stones.
However, Xu Que had already called out his price, which was a million Spirit Stones, before anyone else had had the chance.
A million Spirit Stones for a two-star magic weapon? He must be crazy!
The curtain over Xu Que's room was still closed, so no one really saw what he looked like.
"What is going on? Who is that young man?" asked the woman in the court dress.
"There is no need for us to find who he is. As long as he has a jade invitation card, he must be someone noble."
The woman in the dress frowned and looked at the room again.
Apart from Xu Que, another three famous people had come to this auction.
An arrogant woman who was in the room opposite Xu Que's shook her head and smiled. "I thought the one in the opposite room had to also be someone of importance… well, after all, he is just an amateur. A million Spirit Stones? Really? I think he has spent every penny he has got!"
A man in another room sneered. "That young man is so reckless! How on earth does he have a jade invitation card?! Well, it must have been given to him by his old master."
…
"The VIP guest in room number 3 would like to buy this magic weapon for a million Spirit Stones, is there anyone else who would like to buy it for a higher price?" the woman in the dress asked.
"A million Spirit Stones once! A million Spirit Stones twice! A million Spirit Stones thrice! Deal!"
Dong!
The woman knocked the desk with her wooden hammer. She looked at Xu Que's room and smiled. "Congratulations! The VIP guest in room 3 gets this magic weapon!"
Everyone was silent and shocked. They had no idea what that young man wanted to do and felt that he might come here to make trouble. They also thought this young man was just putting on a show and could not possibly pay a million Spirit Stones in the end.
Normally, one would have to pay his money at the end of the auction, so no one really knew if Xu Que could give out a million Spirit Stones.
"Ten bottles of medicine, starting from fifty thousand Spirit Stones!"
Xu Que had plenty of medicine, so he did not call out his price this time.
At last, a cultivator purchased the medicine with ten thousand Spirit Stones.
"How strange. Why hasn't he called out a price this time?"
"He must have run out of his Spirit Stones."
"A million Spirit Stones for that magic weapon?! He even did not hesitate…"
"How on earth could someone like him have a jade invitation card?"
…
People began to discuss this topic. Among them were people who looked down upon Xu Que very much.
Xu Que felt a bit unhappy when he heard people's talking.
You think I have run out of my Spirit Stones? You are joking! I shall buy all the objects and you will get nothing!
"The third object, a Jade Pendant of Purple Gold. The Water Empress received it when she was young and she has been wearing it ever since. It is a third-star magic weapon. The starting price is a hundred thousand Spirit Stones of low quality…"
"A million Spirit Stones of low quality," Xu Que said.
Seriously?! Him again?! A million Spirit Stones?! What's wrong with him?
The woman was stunned. She had hosted many auctions by far, but she had never seen someone like Xu Que who directly called out a price that was ten times higher than the starting price.
Besides, a million Spirit Stones would be enough to buy three to four third-star magic weapons.
Dong!
The lady knocked the desk with her wooden hammer again.
"Never mind, he is just showing off!"
"A million Spirit Stones for an object each time, he will run out of his money soon."
The young cultivators at present sneered.
They were all pissed off by Xu Que and had never thought that they would meet such a peculiar person. But none of them complained. No one had money like Xu Que did.
Almost everyone at present thought Xu Que would run out of money soon.
"He cannot stick that long!"
"Anyway, he is wasting his own money, not mine."
"Well said. We should all stop calling out prices from now on."
A young man sneered and stared at the room where Xu Que was. "Don't be silly, if we do this, he will grow more arrogant. A million Spirit Stones for an object, so what?! I can do that too! He who laughs last laughs longest!"
Meanwhile, the woman asked the helpers to bring the fourth object. She then waved her hand and the red cloth covering a jade plate disappeared. On the jade plate, there was a little golden hairpin that was decorated with a few, white jade beads. The beans were emanating strong water Qi.
"Next, the fourth object, it is…"
"I, Liu Yun would like to have this for a million Spirit Stones!" the man spoke before the woman could finish speaking.
Everyone at present was shocked and they all turned around. They found that it was the young man who had said that they should not stop calling out prices.
The young man looked very happy and thought Xu Que would not dare to call out a higher price.
Liu Yun sneered. "He really thinks he is something, right? Oh, come on! Does he really think a price of a million Spirit Stones of low quality could frighten me?"
Dong!
The sound of bronze bell rang from Xu Que's room.
"I, Wang Sicong, would like to have this object for ten million Spirit Stones."

440 Is He Really Showing Off His Prosperity Here?
Chapter 440: Is He Really Showing Off His Prosperity Here?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ten million?
All at once, all the people in the audience were dumbfounded.
Isn't it insane?
Why did he bid for a magical artifact with ten million low grade Spirit Stones without even waiting for the introduction, and even without knowing the level of the artifact?
He is just making trouble, right?
Everyone looked towards the room of Xu Que in mute amazement.
Now only lunatics who sought death could make trouble in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce.
The woman who was wearing the court dress was also stunned at this moment.
After hosting so many auctions throughout her life, today she had broadened her horizons again! An auction could be used to show off one's prosperity!
No, it seemed it was not only for showing off his prosperity; it was also for bickering!
Liu Yun's face was quite gloomy.
This was the perfect definition of slapping someone in the face!
Just now he had made a bid of one million and said some sarcastic words. Then the next moment, Wang Sicong had made a bid of ten million right away.
His face looked as if it had been slapped, which was painful and shameful!
The more Liu Yun thought about it, the madder he got. His family could be considered one of the richest families in the Imperial City. He had never expected to be humiliated like this in today's auction, and it made him feel quite embarrassed.
"I don't believe he is truly able to offer ten million low grade Spirit Stones. This guy must be a troublemaker!" Liu Yun shouted immediately as he stood up.
His words also resonated among many participants of the auction.
None of them had ever seen an auction participant as dominant as Xu Que. It seemed like the Spirit Stones were just numbers in his mouth. His arbitrary bidding was too outrageous!
From one million to ten million low grade Spirit Stones, his bids for ordinary magical artifacts were impenetrable. This would be unacceptable even for the emperors of the five nations!
Some people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce also started to become doubtful.
Before, people with the jade invitation cards were treated as distinguished guests. As long as the jade invitation card was produced, the chamber of commerce would never inquire about any personal information of the holder.
However, they were now bothered by the current situation!
Why did the guy use ten million low grade Spirit Stones to buy an ordinary magical artifact?
It is extremely irrational!
It was okay if the guy in private room 3 was really wealthy; otherwise, it would make a fool out of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce if a guy who didn't have enough Spirit Stones to pay had managed to buy all the auction pieces.
"Zhuang, send someone to check out the guy in No. 3 private room and investigate his background." Finally, an old man was sitting in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce delivered a message to the lady who was wearing the court dress.
"As you wish!" the woman who was wearing the court dress replied without turning a hair. Then she opened her red lips to deliver the message to one of her maidservants, asking her to perform the investigation.
The maidservant nodded her head slightly; then carrying the White Pearl Golden Hairpin, she sent it to Xu Que's room on the second floor.
Everyone fixed their eyes on that maidservant and watched her enter the private room of Xu Que.
Everyone was wondering whether the guy in that private room could really produce so many Spirit Stones!
After all, ten million low grade Spirit Stones was really a big number.
Many people in the building could afford this price. However, they would rather die than spend ten million low grade Spirit Stones on an ordinary magical artifact.
Therefore, at this moment, a lot of people thought the guy in that private room on the second floor was absolutely a trouble-maker.
"Humph! That guy is doomed!" Liu Yun snorted coldly, his tone full of sarcasm.
"If he can't provide over ten million Spirit Stones, he will be deemed as a malicious bidder. His punishment will range from cultivation deprivation to a death sentence according to the rules of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce!"
…
A moment later, the wooden door of that private room opened suddenly.
After that, the maidservant ran back to the hall in a flurry, taking that jade plate. She nodded at the lady who was wearing the court dress slightly.
Everyone was shocked and didn't know what was happening.
What's going on?
She just entered that room for a short while; why did she ran out in a flurry?
Could it be that the guy in No. 3 private room has a formidable background?
Whoosh!
At this moment, the blind in No. 3 private room on the 2nd floor was drawn aside suddenly.
Wearing the human-skinned mask and a white robe, Xu Que appeared gracefully before the eyes of everyone.
Standing there poker-faced, Xu Que pretended to be aloof as he glanced over all people in the hall majestically.
Everyone was stunned.
The guy in No.3 private room was a young man!
He was so young, handsome and elegant! He looked nothing like a pushy rowdy brat!
"Humph! Your Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce is too snobbish! You really don't think I can afford the price of just ten million Spirit Stone?" At this moment, Xu Que snorted coldly.
Whoosh!
The next moment, he took out ten best grade Spirit Stones from his storage in the System, which floated in his palm.
Ten best grade Spirit Stones were equal to one thousand high grade Spirit Stones, or one hundred thousand middle grade Spirit Stones, or ten million low grade Spirit Stones!
"Gasp!"
All at once, everyone gasped.
Holy shit! This guy really has ten million low grade Spirit Stones!
But is he mad? Why did he state such a formidable price for an ordinary magical artifact?
"See? I can definitely afford the price I state. If you doubt me again, you will have problems!" Xu Que said coldly; meanwhile, he heard the System's notifications about his successful tough-acting.
The hall was in silence!
No one dared to speak a word again!
In particular, Liu Yun's face was red all over. He could find no place to hide himself for his shame.
After seeing Xu Que, the lady who was wearing the court dress was stunned slightly. It seemed that she hadn't expected the person in the private room to be so young and handsome.
When she came to herself, she immediately explained with a smile, "What Lord Wang said is right! I worried too much and I am really sorry about that. I hope Lord Wang will be magnanimous enough to forgive my rudeness."
Xu Que waved his hand, "I promised to someone that I will not make trouble here. So let's just forget it and I will accept your apology as if I am making a new friend."
"It is my great honor to be a friend of Lord Wang!" said the lady who was wearing the court dress in delight.
Everyone was jealous of Xu Que. The reason that this lady was the auctioneer of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce was not only her charm arts, but also her beauty.
It would be much easier to develop a closer relationship with such a gorgeous woman after making friends with her.
For this, Xu Que was admired by many male cultivators in the hall!
However, Xu Que bragged with a sneer, "Not to mention honor. When I want to make friends with others, I never concern myself with how wealthy they are. Anyway, none of them are wealthier than me!"
His words widened the eyes of everyone in the building and almost made them spit blood.
Damn! This guy is really showing off his prosperity here!
You don't care about how wealthy the one who you are going to make friends with is; just because you are always wealthier than them, right?
What the hell! How wealthy can you be?
No matter how wealthy you are, can you be wealthier than the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, which is the No. 1 chamber of commerce in the five nations?
However, when everyone settled down, Xu Que started to speak again.
His face was full of impatience and boredom. He urged, "Since there are no more questions, let's just proceed with the auction! How about this? Just place all auction items on the platform. Anyway, I, Wang Sicong, will buy all of them!"

441 No One Can Be Better At Arguing Than Me
Chapter 441: No One Can Be Better At Arguing Than Me
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"I, Wang Sicong, will buy all of them."
Hearing this, everyone at present sneered.
They believed that no one could really buy all the objects in this auction, even if they were an Emperor. After all, the last few objects in an auction were normally extremely expensive.
The lady smiled. "Lord Wang, you are really humorous. We shall continue with the auction now."
Another jade plate was delivered to the central platform. The maid uncovered the plate, upon which lay another magic weapon.
"This is a three-star magic weapon that has been used by the Water Empress from a young age, the starting price would be…"
Dong!
"A million Spirit Stones," Xu Que shouted.
This weapon seemed very popular and it was also three-star, so a million Spirit Stones was not that much.
"A million and twenty thousand Spirit Stones."
"A million and fifty thousand Spirit Stones."
"A million and a hundred thousand Spirit Stones."
…
Right at this moment, Xu Que struck the bronze bell again.
Dong!
"Ten million Spirit Stones! Is there anyone else who can give a higher price?"
…
All of a sudden, all the people present fell silent.
They all stared at Xu Que and felt very angry.
Ten million Spirit Stones again? What on earth is he doing? Spending ten million Spirit Stones of low quality on a three-star magic weapon?! Is he insane or desperate to get rid of his fortune?
If Xu Que could hear what they were thinking, he would probably have said, "yes, I am RICH!"
Dong!
The lady knocked the desk with her hammer.
The magic weapon now belonged to Xu Que.
People could do nothing but remain silent. After all, they did not have as much money as Xu Que did.
The auction was ongoing.
"Now, the sixth object…"
Xu Que shouted. "I, Wang Sicong would like to have this for ten million Spirit Stones."
"The seventh object…"
"Ten million Spirit Stones!"
"The next one…"
"Ten million Spirit Stones! Is there anyone who can bid a higher price?!"
Seeing Xu Que buying all the objects one by one for high prices of ten million Spirit Stones, everyone was shocked.
Even Xu Que himself had no idea how many Spirit Stones he had spent by far. Anyway, he did care if he had enough Spirit Stones. He just kept shouting.
By now, he had bought around ten magic weapons, ten books of magic inscriptions and a few bottles of medicine.
Since most of the objects belonged to the Water Empress, the Spirit Stones he spent would all go to the Water Empress.
…
People at present were too shocked to think this through. The Spirit Stones Xu Que had spent so far amounted to as much as the fortunes of a few influential factions putting together.
Even the people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce began to doubt whether Xu Que had enough Spirit Stones.
After all, the number of Spirit Stones he had spent so far had already reached a billion. Throughout the years, no one had ever spent as much as Xu Que.
When Xu Que took out a few thousand Spirit Stones of top quality and played with them with his fingers, everyone was frightened, as were the people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce.
A few thousand Spirit Stones of top quality is equal to a few billion Spirit Stones of low quality! Where on earth did he get so many of them?! And now he is playing with them with his fingers as if they are just toys!
This is absolutely shocking!
…
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 310 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 330 Acting Tough Points!"
…
The sound of the System's notifications kept ringing in his head.
Suddenly, Xu Que looked up to the ceiling and sighed. "Really! I have bought so many objects, but it has only cost me such a small amount of Spirit Stones. Do you have more expensive objects to sell?"
Xu Que turned around and looked at the woman in the court dress. "Show me the more expensive objects, otherwise, I cannot even go back home like this. Do you want to know why? Well, once I open the door, I will be drowned by the Spirit Stones. I daren't even clean my ass in the toilet, since using the Spirit Stones to wipe my ass is really painful."
Hearing this, people were stunned.
Oh, you live in a house full of Spirit Stones? Using the Spirit Stone to clean your ass? Really! Why don't you clean your ass with magic weapons instead?!
…
The lady forced out a smile. "Please be patient. There are only three objects left, and they are impressive!"
Everyone all sat upright and cheered up again.
After all, apart from the young cultivators, there were also many influential figures attending the auction. They had all come for the impressive objects, and so had the three people in the room next to and opposite Xu Que's.
These three people all had a jade invitation card. The reason they had not made any moves yet was because they were not interested in the objects that Xu Que had bought.
Now, the real battle would begin!
A young girl walked to the lady, carrying a jade box.
As soon as the box was opened, a fragrant smell wafted out. A ray of pale blue light appeared and rose up like smoke. The next minute, it became a small river flowing into the box.
Everyone was so shocked that their eyes flew wide open.
The maid started to speak. "This is the Water Empress' six-star medicine, it is called Great Clarity Green Water Pill. It can greatly help someone of the Infant Transformation Stage who finds it difficult to reach the next stage. I think you have all heard about it. The starting price will be ten million Spirit Stones of low equality, and remember that every time one calls out a price, that price should go up by more than a hundred thousand Spirit Stones."
As soon as she stopped talking, people immediately looked at Xu Que.
Since Xu Que had opened his curtain, he had been acting tough the whole time. Seeing everyone staring at him, he put on a poker face and was about to reach out his hands to strike the bronze bell on his desk.
Ding!
This time, it was not Xu Que who had struck the bell, but an influential figure in the room beside Xu Que's.
"Twenty million Spirit Stones of low quality!" an old man said.
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
What is going on today?! Are they all crazy? Twenty million? Are my ears deceiving me?
But soon, the people calmed down. After all, the Great Clarity Green Water Pill was very precious and could help a cultivator of the Infant Transformation Stage reach the next stage. Besides, this pill could not be bought from a market.
Thus, for a strong man of the Infant Transformation Stage, twenty million Spirit Stones was totally worth it.
Don't be ridiculous! It's just twenty million Spirit Stones, I have got plenty of them! No one can bid a higher price than me!
He reached out his hand and struck the bronze bell.

442 Who the Hell Are You?
Chapter 442: Who the Hell Are You?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Dong!
However, Xu Que's hand had hardly reached the brass bell when he was stopped by the sound of a tinkling bell from the room opposite his.
After that, a female voice echoed from that room.
"I make a bid of thirty million Spirit Stones!"
Thirty million?
Again, everyone was surprised!
Today's auction is way too formidable. Many participants are so wealthy!
Someone even made a bid of thirty million for a six-star pill, which is valued at only twenty million!
"It seems the big shots in those two private rooms are at a critical stage of the Infant Transformation Stage; so they need this pill to make a breakthrough!"
"It must be so! The Great Clarity Green Water Pill is very rare, but it is so effective in breaking the bottleneck in cultivation. If one really needs this pill, it would be worthwhile to spend forty or fifty million Spirit Stones on it."
"It is said that the highest auction price ever for the Great Clarity Green Water Pill was eighty million Spirit Stones. I wonder whether this record will be broken today."
"Definitely. Just now that Wang Sicong said that he would buy all the auction items. Now there are only three auction items left!"
"Hehe, these three items are the grand finale, it's possible he won't be able to afford all of them."
"Right. He hasn't stated a price yet for this one. Could it be that he has spent all of his Spirit Stones?"
"Haha, that is highly possible. After all, he has spent a lot of Spirit Stones already."
"Finally, we don't need to watch him show off his prosperity!"
Many people started to gloat over Xu Que's situation. They looked at the second floor with faces full of scorn. They thought that Xu Que didn't have enough Spirit Stones for further bidding.
…
In the other private room on the second floor, the one beside Xu Que's room, an old man snorted coldly with furrowed brows. "Humph, how dare a girl so young be so defiant… how dare she compete with me for the Great Clarity Green Water Pill!"
Dong!
He knocked at the brass bell and shouted loudly, "Forty million!"
"Wow!"
The hall was in an uproar. After three rounds of bidding, the price of the Great Clarity Green Water Pill had been raised to forty million; and this was only the competition between two people!
Moreover, the high price had prevented most people in the hall from participating in the bidding. Only holders of the jade invitation cards on the second floor would be able to participate in the following bidding war.
Now the price had been raised to forty million by the competing pair. If other big shots also participated in the competition, could the record be broken? And was it possible for the price to exceed one hundred million?
Many people were full of expectation, looking at the private rooms on the second floor excitedly.
Dong!
Finally, another bell tinkled, from the room of the lady opposite Xu Que.
"Fifty million!" the lady said coldly as she stared at the old man in the room next to Xu Que's.
However, the old man didn't give up. He knocked the brass bell and shouted, "Sixty million!"
Apparently, the old man was determined to get the Great Clarity Green Water Pill.
He had been stuck at level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage for a long time. Because of his advanced age, it was very difficult for him to break the bottleneck. Therefore, this Great Clarity Green Water Pill was his hope. As long as he could make a breakthrough to level 7 of the Infant Transformation Stage, he would be able to increase his power and longevity.
Hearing the old man's bid of sixty million, the lady opposite Xu Que didn't say a word for a long time. Her face was quite gloomy. With furrowed brows, it seemed that she was unsure whether she should keep increasing the price.
Compared to the old man, she did not seem as determined to get this pill.
"Sixty million, calling once!" cried the lady in the court dress, wearing a faint smile.
Everyone was surprised slightly, for none of them had expected the competition over this pill to finish up so fast, like the whip of a tiger's head or the lash of a snake's tail.
"It seems like the woman on the second floor has given up."
"Alas, the price has been raised to sixty million after all. No one would state a price like this readily, unless they had already been driven into a tight corner."
"I suppose the old man will keep increasing the price even when the price reaches one hundred million!"
"Wait! Where is Wang Sicong? Why did he stop stating prices?"
"Hahaha, he has run out of Spirit Stones, as expected!"
"As I said before, he is not wealthy enough! How could he buy all the auction items?"
Everyone shook their heads and took delight in talking about Xu Que.
"Sixty million, calling twice!"
At this moment, the lady in court dress spoke again. She looked around and it seemed like she was searching for other potential bidders, or encouraging people who would be willing to state a higher price.
The old man, who was in the room next to Xu Que's room, felt greatly relieved. He knew that Great Clarity Green Water Pill was about to be his.
"Hehe, when I get the pill, I will break the bottleneck and reach level 7 of the Infant Transformation Stage. At that time, I will take these sixty million Spirit Stones back from the people of the Water Nation, sing the same old way!" the old man said to himself with a sneer. Full of confidence, he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
…
"Sixty million, last ca…"
Dong!
When the lady in the court dress picked up the wooden hammer, about to make the last call, the clear tinkle of brass bell went off!
The lady in court dress stopped, dropping the hammer immediately.
Everyone was stunned. The ringing of the bell had come from Xu Que's room!
To everyone's surprise, he stood up and walked to the stand with his hands behind his back. Then in a deep voice with a faint smile, he said, "I, Wang Sicong, make a bid of one billion!"
Gasp!
All at once, everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe what they had heard.
One…one billion?
Holy shit! Is he insane?
He can state a price of one billion for one Great Clarity Green Water Pill?
Hearing Xu Que's bidding, the old man, who was in the room next to Xu Que's room, spat out the tea in his mouth.
One billion?
Damn! Are you deliberately finding fault?
What the hell is wrong with your head?
Bang! The old man was so angry that he smashed the table with his hand. Then he shouted at Xu Que angrily, "How dare you? Little brat, who the hell are you?"
Everyone could sense the power and anger of the old man.
Meanwhile, many people started to gloat over Xu Que.
Now Xu Que had just reached level 10 of the Original Infant Stage. By provoking the old man who had reached level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage, he was asking to get killed.
"That little brat is doomed!"
"Hehe, I don't think the old man will take action in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce now. However, it is highly possible that he will outside this building..."
"Besides the old man, I'm guessing this little brat has been targeted by many people. He is way too arrogant."
"People like him will not live long."
Many people were whispering.
As one of the staff of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, the lady in the court dress walked over in a hurry. She said to the man, "Predecessor, please calm down. In an auction, the highest bidder always wins."
However, Xu Que was quite calm. He walked to the wall of his private room and asked through the wall, "Old fellow, what did you say just now?"
With chilly eyes and a gloomy face, the old man spoke through gritted teeth. "Tell me, who the hell are you? And why are you against me?"
Everyone's eyes fixed on Xu Que, for they were also curious about his identity. After all, the name of Wang Sicong had never been heard of before.
At that moment, with a mean smile, Xu Que spoke through the wall. "I am Mr. Wang, your next-door neighbour."

Chapter 443: Chapter 443
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mr Wang, your next-door neighbour? We know you are next-door to him!
People at present were all confused and had no idea what the phrase 'Mr Wang, your next door neighbour' really meant.
The old man grew very gloomy, but there were many people from the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce around. He wanted to save some face, so he did not say anything.
Still, he had decided to send someone to kill Xu Que as soon as the auction ended.
However, Xu Que was not frightened at all, even if the old man was at level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage.
It was very quiet, and the atmosphere became rather delicate.
Everyone looked at Xu Que and sympathised him, since they thought he had to be in great trouble after offending that old man.
But Xu Que was still smiling. "Are you deaf? Say something. I am Mr Wang, your next-door neighbour. You can go back home and ask your mother, she knows me!"
"Shut up!" the old man shouted.
Is he crazy? How dare he offend him again at this moment?! Telling me to go home and ask my mother, seriously? How would my mother know about you?!
While the old man was shouting, Xu Que smiled. "F*ck you! I will not shut up!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
The old man was furious. He suddenly stood up and glared at Xu Que.
"I won't shut up! If you are mad at me, come and fight me! If you've got the balls, then come!"
Xu Que meant to make the old man angry, so if he killed him, he would be able to claim self-defense.
After all, the old man had previously said that he would take his Spirit Stones back from the people of the Water Nation. Xu Que had heard all of it.
Xu Que would definitely help the citizens of the Water Nation, and would not hesitate to kill anyone who dared to hurt his peers of the Water Nation.
"How dare you!"
The old man was feeling extremely angry and kicked a chair at the wall.
Bang!
The next moment, the chair fell into a pile of wood and dust and was blown away by the wind, leaving some cracks in the wall separating him and Xu Que. If it were not for the fact that the old man had not used his full strength, the whole wall would have collapsed by now.
After all, the old man was in the sixth grade of the Infant Transformation Stage and his strength should not be underestimated.
The maid dressed in a dress of the palace warned. "The guests on the floor, please hold your temper, don't forget you are in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce!"
Xu Que looked into the crack on the wall and smiled. "You old fool! Are you mad at me? Are you made at me? Ha!"
Seeing this, people were completely stunned.
What's wrong with him? He is really a shameless man!
"Wait, why do these words sound a bit familiar to me?"
"You are right! 'Are you mad at me?' I have heard this somewhere before."
"Crickey! It was General Zhuge who said that before."
They all took a deep breath and stared at Xu Que.
Even though Xu Que had changed his face, they all still felt that the tone of the young man called 'Wang Sicong' resembled General Zhuge's very much.
"Sh*t! He can't be General Zhuge!"
"Has he gone through facial surgery or something?"
"No wonder he has so many Spirit Stones. He has looted ten noblemen's residences, and the third Duke's residence as well."
"Nonsense! Even if he has looted ten residences as well as the third Duke's residences, he still wouldn't have so many Spirit Stones. He must be looting people's houses all the time."
"He even changed his face. Clearly, he has come here to ask for a fight!"
The young man who had competed with Xu Que earlier was so frightened that his face had turned all white. He knew how powerful General Zhuge was and decided to sneak off.
He discreetly stood up, about to run away.
The people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce were all shocked, since they had never thought the young man called Wang Sicong would also be the famous General Zhuge.
Xu Que's true identity had been revealed very simply through the few words he had spoken.
After all, there weren't many people in the world who were as shameless as he was.
However, the old man was not scared at all.
"Young man, I do not care who you are. Once you leave the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, you'll have to watch your back!" he threatened.
"Don't be ridiculous! If it weren't for the fact that I've promised someone to hold my temper and not kill anyone anymore, you would already be dead by now! Do you think I didn't hear what you said earlier?"
"What did I say?" the old man said coldly.
"There is no need to pretend, you know what you said. The reason why I haven't told the others is to save face for you."
The old man sneered, thinking that Xu Que would not dare to speak out.
But to his surprise, Xu Que spoke.
"You old fool! You are such a jerk. You bought the medicine with sixty million Spirit Stones of low quality, but you planned to take your money back. Besides, you also wanted to take the women away to rape and kill, including the old lady sitting in the seat 14 in the fifth row. Yes, you, old lady, he said you still look tasty and wanted to rape and kill you."
Hearing this, everyone at present was speechless.
Taking back all his money… and raping those women… and even that old lady…
This old man is really bad!
The old man was totally shocked.
He had indeed said that he would take all his money back, but he had never said that he would rape those women…
"How dare you tarnish my reputation like this?!" the old man shouted.
Xu Que smiled. "Can you swear that you never said this?"
"You…"
Swear?! Should I swear that I never said I would rape those sisters? Then everyone would find out that I had intended to take all my money back! F*ck! This young man is really ill-hearted and shameless!
"Everyone!" called the woman in the court dress. She was smiling. "We shall leave this matter to the end of the auction. Now let's congratulate the guest in room.3 for successfully obtaining the 'Great Clarity Green Water Pill'. All right, onto the next object."
She had finally managed to restore order to the situation. After all, this area was under control by the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, and the auction was still ongoing. If the two really did get into a fight, the reputation of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce would definitely be ruined.

444 If I Choose to be Ruthless, I would Target at Myself
Chapter 444: If I Choose to be Ruthless, I would Target at Myself
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"To the both of you, could you please maintain your dignity for the sake of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce?" The lady in court dress looked at the old man and Xu Que.
The old man would definitely show his due respect to the Chamber of Commerce. What she was worried about was Xu Que, whose behavior was always outrageous.
Xu Que smiled slightly. "I, Wang Sicong, don't lose face easily. However, this is something insignificant, so I will show you a respect and will not punish this old thing… for the moment!"
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched immediately.
As a cultivator of only level 10 of the Original Infant Stage, he had dared to say that he would punish an expert at level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage.
If these words had been spoken by anyone else, the speaker would definitely have been treated as a mockery.
However, the speaker was Xu Que. For the audience, his words were fearsome and even persuasive.
After all, he was a notorious guy. Xu Que had even been able to eliminate the Third Duke, let alone this old man…
But the old man was not impressed by Xu Que's words. His face was quite gloomy. With a wry smile on his mouth, he regarded Xu Que like someone who was no longer relevant. Therefore, he just ignored Xu Que's words.
…
"If that is so, please accept my appreciation!" At that moment, the lady in the court dress smiled a bit and nodded at Xu Que to show her gratitude.
After that, she waved her slender hand and said to the audience, "The second item in today's grand finale is a mysterious copper sheet, which was also forged by Her Royal Highness the Water Empress. A secret art has been engraved in this copper sheet. However, the secret art, which was damaged slightly, is difficult to learn and cultivate. But the most precious aspect of this copper sheet is the fact that it is made of the Nine Heavens Star Meteorite!"
After finishing speaking, she opened the jade box and a palm-sized copper sheet entered everyone's view.
Surrounded by a halo of pale yellow, the copper sheet was blue-green all over. Thickly-dotted runes were visible on the surface of the copper sheet. However, most of the runes had been eroded over the long years, and were now beyond recognition.
"What? Is it real Nine Heavens Star Meteorite?"
However, all the audiences were surprised by the material of the copper sheet.
The Nine Heavens Star Meteorite, as the name suggested, was meteoric iron!
This was therefore a copper sheet from the Nine Heavens. Its material was very precious, and was mainly used to forge magical artifacts that were eight-star or higher.
All at once, many people were tempted by it. They lay their eyes on the lady in the court dress, waiting for the base price of this copper sheet to be announced.
Some of the audiences had delivered message to the big shots in their families to ask whether they should participate in the auction of this item.
After all, the material of this item was so precious that it was even rarer than the Great Clarity Green Water Pill. Also, demand for this material was higher than that for the Great Clarity Green Water Pill.
"According to our evaluation, the base price of this mysterious copper sheet is…"
However, when the lady in the court dress had just begun to introduce the cooper sheet and state its base price, Xu Que shouted out suddenly, "I, Wang Sicong, make a bid of fifty million Spirit Stones!"
His voice was clear and loud.
The rest of the audience were dumbfounded!
Many people who had been about to state their prices closed their mouths immediately after hearing Xu Que's bid.
Fifty million Spirit Stones was a reasonable price. There was still space to increase the price.
However, the price had been stated by Xu Que. No one else would dare to participate in the bidding!
The rest of the audience felt so depressed that they even wanted to spit blood!
We really don't want to compete for the auction item with him!
Leaving aside the question of whether we can even win the item, even if we do win the item, what would we do if he led his troops up to search our houses and confiscate our property? The Third Duke enjoyed this 'treatment'; but we really don't have the guts for that.
For a moment, everyone was frowning. They were irresolute as to whether they should keep bidding for the copper sheet.
This copper sheet was tempting… however, Xu Que's notorious reputation was too dreadful for them.
The old man also kept quiet. It seemed that he would let Xu Que win this bid, so that he would be able to rob Xu Que of this item as well as the Great Clarity Green Water Pill later.
The lady in the court dress was also surprised slightly. Then she furrowed her brows.
This was the last thing the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce wanted to see. Once one person's fame and dominance became overwhelming, the impartiality of the auction was endangered.
Also, this would influence the final hammer price, which could reduce the commission received by the Chamber of Commerce.
Dong!
But at that moment, another bell tinkled.
Everyone was surprised. Their eyes drifted to the second floor to find out who was awesome enough to compete with someone as ruthless as Xu Que!
However, the next moment, everyone was stunned again.
The one who had knocked the brass bell was Xu Que himself!
"What…what does he mean?"
"He has stated a price! Why did he knock the bell again?"
"Could it be that he forgot he had knocked the bell already? But this is almost impossible!"
Everyone was confused. Even the people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce were looking at Xu Que with puzzlement.
Xu Que smiled slightly and shouted, "I, Ma Yun of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of sixty million!"
"Ah?"
People immediately became even more confused.
Ma Yun of the Exploding Heavens Faction?
Aren't you Wang Sicong? How did you become Ma Yun?
The lady in the court dress was also stunned. She asked in astonishment, "Lord Wang, what…do you mean?"
Xu Que smiled. "I have no choice. I was entrusted by Ma Yun of our Exploding Heavens Faction to state a price for him!"
The rest of the audience instantly became speechless.
You were entrusted by Ma Yun of the Exploding Heavens Faction to state a price, right? You are being way too playful here!
Dong!
At that moment, suddenly Xu Que knocked at the bell again and shouted, "I, Hua Wuque of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of seventy million!"
"What?" Again, the rest of the audience was stunned.
How did this Hua Wuque come forth?
Shrugging his shoulders, Xu Que said reluctantly, "Again, I was entrusted by Hua Wuque of our faction to state a price. The Exploding Heavens Faction has a lot of members."
Everyone was silent.
Dong!
Xu Que knocked at the bell again.
"I, Ye Liangchen of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of eighty million!"
Dong!
"I, the Divine Eagle Master Yang Guo of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of one hundred million!"
Dong!
"Damn! I, Dugu Qiubai of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of two hundred million!"
Dong!
"Shit! I, Linghu Chong of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of three hundred million!"
…
The auction site was in silence. Only Xu Que kept knocking at the brass bell and performing his multiple role-play.
Everyone else in the audience was speechless. All they could do was continue to look at Xu Que in puzzlement.
"This guy is definitely insane!"
"He is horrible!"
"He is so crazy that he is even competing with himself! Who would dare to offend a lunatic like him?"
"He is continuously raising the price from fifty million to five hundred million! This is unprecedented!"
"I quit!"
"Me too!"
"We are asking for trouble by competing with him!"
…
No one dared to state a price again.
Finally, Xu Que won the Water Empress's mysterious copper sheet at the price of five hundred million.
The people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce were speechless about the result. The final hammer price, which had gone far beyond their expectations, had been stated by one person all the way from the beginning to the end of the item's auction.
It was the first time that they had encountered a circumstance like this. Therefore, they had to accept the result in puzzlement.
The lady in the court dress was also dumbfounded for a while before coming to her own senses. Then she dropped the hammer and announced the auction result.
After that, she said again, "Now, the most exciting part of our grand finale! The last item of today is…"
Dong!
She had hardly finished her words when Xu Que knocked the brass bell again.
"I, Wang Jianlin of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of one billion. It's just one billion, which is not very high!"
…
Once again, the rest of the audience felt so depressed that they wanted to spit blood.
Holy shit! Did you lose your mind?
One billion? Just one billion? Not high?
Okay, you can do whatever you want because you are rich! It's your own business to state the price of one billion. But can't you state a price after figuring out what the auction item is first?
The purpose of stating your price now is to prevent us from even knowing the name of the last item in today's grand finale, right?

445 This Is Really Embarrassing
Chapter 445: This Is Really Embarrassing
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After Xu Que had called out the price of a billion Spirit Stones of low quality, no one had dared to called out another price.
According to the rule, once a buyer called out a price and no one else called one higher, the object would not be revealed to the public. As a consequence, no one would have the chance to really see what this object was.
Everyone was very curious as they stared at the jade box.
After all, this was the last object in the auction. They all wanted to know what was inside that box.
Xu Que stood up and smiled shamelessly. "Do you want to know what is inside that box?"
No one answered. Although they were very curious about the contents of the box, they remained silent. They thought that since Xu Que had bought this item with a billion Spirit Stones, he would be desperate to see what was inside that box too.
"Well, since none of you are interested, I will not show it to you. When I get home, I will just give it to my pet dog, Buttface."
Hearing this, everyone became furious.
What the f*ck! He will give the object that he has bought for a billion Spirit Stones of low quality to his pet dog?!
Finally, a young cultivator could no longer suppress his curiosity and stood up. "Wait, Lord Wang, we want to know what is inside the box."
The person holding the box stopped and looked at Xu Que.
Xu Que smiled. "You really want to know?"
Both the young cultivator and others in the room nodded. "Yes!"
"Really?"
"Yes, we do!"
Xu Que stopped smiling. "Why on earth should I show it to you?"
"What?!"
Everyone was surprised.
"Take it away. Don't be ridiculous, grow up please! This is the gift that I have bought for my pet dog, Buttface. I will not show it to you!" Xu Que shook his head.
Hearing this, people almost passed out.
F*ck! You were the one who asked us if we wanted to see it or not in the first place! You're the one who should grow up!
"Fine! Never mind!"
Xu Que smiled and went back to his room, feeling extremely proud.
Everyone already knew that he was a shameless man and they were afraid that their houses would be looted by him later on. As a result, they did not quarrel with him, even if they were very angry.
As the last object had been bought by Xu Que, he had basically bought all the objects in this auction.
But the old man in the room beside him was not soft-hearted.
He had locked Xu Que in his room with his Soul Strength. Clearly, he meant to kill Xu Que and take everything he had bought.
"Lord Wang, we have put all the objects in the storage ring. Would you mind having a check of it? If everything is alright, please come to the side here and pay. The total amount will be 7.8 billion Spirit Stones of low quality."
The lady stood outside Xu Que's room and smiled.
Xu Que waved his hand and retrieved all the Spirit Stones from his System parcel.
All of a sudden, the huge room was filled up with Spirit Stones.
Spirit Stones of low quality, medium quality, high quality, and very few of top quality…
Seeing this, everyone at present was shocked. After all, they had never seen this amount of Spirit Stones in their entire lives.
"Here you are, these are all the Spirit Stones I have, you keep the change too, I don't mind," Xu Que said proudly.
At the same time, the sound of his system notifications kept ringing in his head. His Acting Tough Points were increasing.
People felt very jealous of the people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, since they had gotten so many tips in such an easy manner.
The lady smiled. "Lord Wang, you are indeed a generous man. I give you my thanks on behalf of the entire Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce."
Xu Que waved his hand. "There is really no need. I still have plenty of them in my house. You have no idea how miserable it feels, sleeping in a pile of Spirit Stones! Every morning when I wake up, I always say 'f*ck off! You dirty stones'!"
Hearing this, people almost fainted.
F*ck you! I have never seen anyone who is as shameless as that! He is really arrogant!
…
Soon, the staff of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce came up and began to calculate the number of stones lying around.
When the lady received the result, she forced a smile and walked towards Xu Que. "Lord Wang, there...there are only 5.2 billion Spirit Stones of low quality in total. You need to pay 2.6 billion more."
"What?!" Xu Que was surprised.
This is impossible! This is what I got by looting a few Imperial Tombs, the treasure vault of the Fire Nation, and ten governors' residences, and the third Duke's residence as well. This is impossible!
"I think you should check it again." Xu Que got a bit worried.
After all, he had never counted the stones himself. If what the maid had said was true…
People saw Xu Que's facial expression and started to laugh at him.
"See? He hasn't got enough Spirit Stones to pay!"
"2.6 billion Spirit Stones more, he is not going to be able to run from this."
"This is really interesting."
…
People began to laugh and became very excited. After all, there was nothing funnier than seeing Xu Que lose face.
The lady forced out a smile. "Lord Wang, we are sure that there are only 5.2 billion Spirit Stones of low quality."
"I see." Xu Que nodded.
My god! How can I get another 2.6 billion Spirit Stones? Does it mean I have failed to act tough this time?! No way! I cannot allow this happen. Maybe I can sell Buttface to them!
"Maid, can I pay the rest by selling my pet dog to you? I have a dog. When it is not moving, it looks like a mild child; when it moves, it looks like a mad rabbit."
The woman was stunned and shook her head. "Lord Wang, we... only take Spirit Stones."
"Fine!" Xu Que shrugged.
Seeing this, people at present began laughing very hard.
"You were so proud earlier! But see how you look now, you pathetic creature!"
"Didn't you say that you have a pile of Spirit Stones in your house? Show us, then."
With so many people around, Xu Que knew that he would not be able to run away from this. Besides, he had promised the Water Empress that he would not make trouble.
What should I do?
Xu Que began to think very hard.
Suddenly, he came up with an idea. He started to stare at one of the objects he had bought.
"I know what I should do!" Xu Que smiled.

446 Xu Que’s Method of Making Money
Chapter 446: Xu Que’s Method of Making Money
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que had found a way—he had figured out an excellent method through which he could earn Spirit Stones very quickly.
"Young lady, please give me a few days so that I can go home and fetch some more Spirit Stones. Is that okay for you?" Xu Que looked at the lady in court dress with smile.
The lady was slightly surprised, then she said hurriedly, "Lord Wang, please wait a moment. I will ask for instructions from my superior."
After saying that, she walked out of the private room and consulted some of the big shots of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce.
Hearing Xu Que's words, the rest of the audience was greatly shocked.
"Does he really have that many Spirit Stones at home?"
"Holy shit! I thought he was bragging. I never expected it to be real. He will go home to get more Spirit Stones!"
"I don't think so. Seeing his personality, I'm guessing that he is planning to run away."
"Gasp! That is possible!"
All the other spectators were doubtful, for none of them thought that Xu Que was trustworthy.
After consulting her superior, the lady in the court dress returned to Xu Que and said with a faint smile, "Lord Wang, you have rendered a large number of Spirit Stones, breaking the highest record of all previous auctions held by the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, you are our VIP, so we will grant you seven days to collect the Spirit Stones!"
Hearing that, the audience was dumbfounded again.
Damn! The Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce has lost its mind.
They agreed to give him time to collect the Spirit Stones; and the time is seven days!
Aren't they worried about the possibility of this guy just running away?
Suddenly, the lady in the court dress added, "Lord Wang, for safety reasons, over the period of these seven days, the auction items you have won will be kept by the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce. Will that be okay with you?"
"No problem! Then it's a deal!" Xu Que agreed immediately by nodding his head joyfully.
For him, those auction items were nothing. If those items had not been related to the Water Empress, he would never had made bids for them.
Therefore, there was no difference between keeping those items in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce and bringing them with him. Besides, he could still retrieve them from the Chamber of Commerce later.
All the people nodded their heads in satisfaction to show their approval for the decision of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce. If Xu Que chose to run away, what he lost would not only include the auction items, but also the over five billion Spirit Stones he had already given them before.
However, the old man in the room next to Xu Que's was so confused and depressed that he was about to spit blood.
Finally, the auction had finished. He had planned to kill Xu Que and rob him of his treasures when he left the chamber. He had not expected the auction items to be stored at the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce for the time being!
Damn! How can I rob him now?
The old man was very angry, but he could do nothing. He also couldn't provide over 2 billion Spirit Stones to 'help' Xu Que pay off the residual balance.
At last, he made the tough decision to stay and wait to kill Xu Que after seven days had passed.
However, Xu Que had neglected the existence of the old man and had long forgotten him. Now he was busy preparing his money-making plan.
He summoned the System, and purchased many appliances and materials. He was planning to do big business here that would astonish the whole world!
"Lord Wang, in that case, I will be waiting for your return here. Please be assured that we will take good care of your items," said the lady with a smile.
"Yep," Xu Que replied and said nothing more. Then he turned around and ran towards the gate of the building with a land deed in his hands.
Everyone was surprised by his sudden change of behavior.
"What's going on? What is he going to do?"
"Is he really going home to fetch more Spirit Stones?"
"But where is his home? Does he really need seven days? It seems that he is not a resident of the Water Nation."
"I don't care where his hometown is. If he fails to provide 2.6 billion Spirit Stones in seven days, he will become a laughing stock!"
"Haha, I am looking forward to seeing that."
…
After Xu Que's departure, people mustered up their courage and started to talk about him.
Many people didn't believe that Xu Que could bring back over two billion Spirit Stones. After all, the total sum was too large to be easily collected in such a short amount of time.
Also, a lot of people were very curious about the destination of Xu Que. They even left the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce to follow him.
Actually, he didn't need to be in such a hurry if he was only planning to go home. With the teleportation arrays, he could make a round trip through the five nations within seven days.
"What? Is he running in the wrong direction? This is not the way towards the teleportation array!" Someone realised that something was wrong after following Xu Que for a while.
Xu Que was not heading for the teleportation array, but for the outskirts of the market area.
He kept dashing forwards excitedly. Finally, he stopped before the store, Zhai Bao Ge.
This store had once sold spells. Several days ago, it had been bought by Xu Que for eight million Spirit Stones. Its inventory of dozens of spells had been used up by Xu Que. Now, there was only an empty store left.
Xu Que had already forgotten about this store. Just now when he had been checking the System, he had stumbled upon a land deed. A thought had come to mind. He was now planning to open his shop to do business.
Given his personality, he was a person who would take action whenever a thought came to mind. Therefore, he had left the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce and dashed right over towards this store. Now he was about to us all his skills to renovate the store.
"What is he going to do? Why is he standing there? Is that the store of General Zhuge?" Seeing that Xu Que had stopped, one of the people trailing him was quite surprised.
"Are you stupid? Of course this is the store of General Zhuge. Do you really think he is Wang Sicong? It is certain that General Zhuge is disguising himself as that Wang Sicong!" someone said, rolling their eyes.
The people who had followed Xu Que stopped, and kept watching him from afar.
After pondering for a while, Xu Que had figured out how to renovate this store. Then he took out a message delivering paper from the System.
Poof!
Overflowing with spiritual Qi, the message delivering paper ignited immediately.
Xu Que shouted, "Attention, Troops of the Snow City! Come immediately to Zhai Bao Ge without Buttface!"
Whoosh!
The message delivering paper turned into a beam of light instantly, flying towards the Royal Palace with Xu Que's message.
After that, Xu Que started to wander around the other stores in the vicinity of the Zhai Bao Ge.
With his hands behind his back, Xu Que looked at those stores cryptically, as if he was thinking of something.
The stores next to Zhai Bao Ge sold cloth and magical artifacts. Being watched by Xu Que, the shop owners began to feel afraid.
"What's going on? Who is this guy?"
"Why is he wandering around outside our store?"
"Look at his expression! I have a bad feeling about this."
"Oh, look! He has come into our store!" someone yelled in surprise, realizing that Xu Que had entered their store.
It was a store of magical artifacts. After a short period of observation, Xu Que decided that the business of this store was just so-so.
If he planned to open his store, he definitely needed to expand it. Zhai Bao Ge was not big enough.
"Sir, what do you want to buy?" the shopkeeper asked as he walked to greet Xu Que.
Squinting his eyes, Xu Que smiled. "I want to buy your store!"
"What?" The shopkeeper was immediately surprised.
"I want to buy this store. Please state your price," Xu Que replied.
After coming to his senses, the shopkeeper said with a wry smile, "This…this…"
"Stop nagging! I am planning to do business. See, Zhai Bao Ge next-door is mine. I want you to sell your store to me so that I can connect the two stores by pulling down the walls. Then I will start my business. Of course, you can also become a shareholder of my store!"
"Ah?" The shopkeeper was confused again.
A shareholder? What does that mean?
Xu Que raised his brows and explained. "To be a shareholder, you need to donate your store to me. When I make money by doing business, you can share in my profit! Of course, when our business grows in future, we can open some other branches with the profits we have made. In this way, one store will become two stores, two stores will become four stores, and four stores will become eight stores! After having eight stores, we can go public! Then we can collect money from the stock market! After that, we can make money by trading in the stock market and making spin-offs to our franchise. By the time that happens, you will be so wealthy that you will be smiling in your dreams!"

447 A New Store
Chapter 447: A New Store
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing what Xu Que had said, both the shopkeeper and the people around were surprised.
Going public? Collecting money? Making money by trading in the stock market? And making spin-offs?
Although these all sounded very confusing to them, still, they all felt that it might work somehow.
"So are you going to sell your store to me or not? Or will you become a shareholder? If you are not willing to work with me, I will go and ask other people." Xu Que was getting impatient.
The shopkeeper forced out a smile. "Young man, I can sell my store to you if you really want it, but as for becoming a shareholder, I cannot do that since I know nothing about it. Besides, my store is very expensive…"
"Just tell me how much you want, I have plenty of money," Xu Que smiled.
As long as I can expand my store, I can do anything he asks. As for the money, I will get it anyway.
"Good. please wait here for a moment."
The shopkeeper nodded. Then he walked into the store and began to calculate.
After a while, he walked to Xu Que and set the price of the store. Not including all the magic weapons and artifacts it contained, the store would cost two million Spirit Stones.
The shopkeeper had been wanting to sell his store for a long time. It was located far away from the centre of the city, and the store was not doing very well these days. But he had hated the idea of just leaving his store there. Therefore, he was now immensely happy that Xu Que wanted to buy his store.
The store was not small, so Xu Que thought this price was very sensible and agreed.
"Ya! Ya! Ya!"
All of a sudden, a huge number of men came riding over on horses, stopping outside the store. They were the three thousand soldiers of the Snow City.
"Hurry up, General Zhuge is going to loot someone's house again."
"Hurry up!"
"F*ck! How dare he not inform me about this!"
The soldiers thought that they were about to loot someone's house and had all gotten very excited.
Buttface was furious, however, since he had been told not to come.
Seeing them coming, Xu Que took off his mask and shouted, "Listen, catch Buttface!"
"What?" Buttface was shocked and stopped running. "What is going on? Why did you order them to catch me?"
People at present were also shocked when Xu Que took off his mask.
"He is General Zhuge!"
"I knew it!"
"Why on earth has he ordered the soldiers to catch his pet dog?"
"Can it be possible that he wants to kill the dog and sell its meat?"
Xu Que pointed at Buttface and shouted, "Today, we are going to 'loot' Buttface. Take all his Spirit Stones."
Xu Que knew Buttface had many valuable objects, such as an eight-star sword.
Since Xu Que had never been interested in these so-called treasures, he had never taken Buttface's objects away.
But this time, it was different. He needed some extra Spirit Stones. He had decided either to directly get some Spirit Stones from Buttface, or sell some of Buttface's eight-star magic weapons.
All of a sudden, the soldiers surrounded Buttface.
Realizing he could not run away, Buttface threatened them, saying, "Stay where you are! Anyone who dares to touch me will be kicked to death by me!"
Xu Que smiled. "Buttface, behave yourself! Hand me all your Spirit Stones, I will return them to you once I make some money!"
"I haven't got any!"
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! I am sure!"
Xu Que nodded. "Fine, I meant to treat you to a very nice meal if you gave me some of your Spirit Stones. What a pity…"
"Wait! Here they are. If you need more, I will get more and give them to you!" Buttface said while taking out two Spirit Stones of top quality.
In fact, Buttface was not extremely interested in food. However, since eating the stinky tofu that Xu Que had made, he had become addicted to it. As soon as he heard the phrase 'a nice meal', he was unable to resist the temptation.
"Here they are, if you need more, just tell me!"
"I need more!"
"You're not lying to me about the nice meal, right?"
"Just give me all the stones you have!"
"Only ten more."
"Fine! Give them to me. I promise I will treat you to a good meal tomorrow."
…
In total, Xu Que now had twelve Spirit Stones of top quality.
Seeing this, everyone at present was speechless.
Even his pet dog is this rich! This young man must be extremely rich. But still, he is indeed shameless, lying to his own pet. He took the stones without treating his dog to a nice meal. Seriously, there are twelve Spirit Stones of top quality here, which equates to twelve million Spirit Stones of low quality! Even meals in the royal palace would not be this expensive.
…
"Come over here. You take the two million Spirit Stones of low quality first, and clear your store now!"
Xu Que gave two Spirit Stones of top quality to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper then gave him a contract. The deal was done.
Then Xu Que ordered the soldiers to tear down the walls between the store and Zhai Bao Ge. He also took out some beautiful objects from his System Parcel to decorate his store with.
These include things like wallpaper, desks and chairs in a modern style, some decorational ornaments meant for the glass window, and some colorful lights, which had never been seen by anyone in the Cultivation World before.
When the wall collapsed, Xu Que began to clear and decorate the store.
With the help of some magic inscriptions, he set about doing his job quickly. He dispersed all the beautiful, modern decorations around the store, illuminating the lights with Qi.
The people at present were all surprised by what they had seen.
Xu Que worked from daylight to dusk. After the sun had set, some of the onlookers left. But soon, many other people came.
After all, these objects were all very fancy and included things that they had never laid eyes on before.
Buttface came too. He even thought that one of the pieces of decorative glass was actually something delicious. When he was preparing himself to eat it, Xu Que quickly kicked him away.
…
By the very next day, Xu Que had finished with the decorations, and hung a shop-sign outside.
Many people heard that the General had opened a store and all hurriedly came to have a look. As soon as they saw his store, they were greatly surprised.
Amongst all the ancient buildings in the Imperial City, it was really rare to see such a new, smart and modern-looking store.
This store had a strange name, too—McDonald's of the Exploding Heavens Faction.

448 Is This an Unscrupulous Store?
Chapter 448: Is This an Unscrupulous Store?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Hey, have you heard the news that General Zhuge altered his appearance and participated in the auction held by the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, where he won a lot of items, well worth over seven billion Spirit Stones in total?"
"I have already heard this news. That sum is way too formidable!"
"However, I've heard that he has run away because he didn't have enough Spirit Stones to pay."
"That's baloney! He opened up a store. Its name is McDonald's of the Exploding Heavens Faction."
"My God! Really? Can that guy open a store? Who would dare to visit his store?"
"Exactly! It's a pity that his store hasn't opened to the public yet. I wonder what its main commodity would be."
"I've heard that he is planning to sell dog meat. It seems his dog is doomed."
"No, I've heard he is going to open a brothel!"
…
Early in the morning, everyone in the Imperial City was talking about Xu Que.
After finishing his renovations, Xu Que closed the store right away, evoking endless curiosity from the onlookers.
From her place inside the Imperial Palace, the Water Empress also heard the news.
The Water Empress was dumbfounded after hearing that Xu Que had spent so many Spirit Stones to bid for items in the auction, doing it all under the name of Wang Sicong.
Apparently, she had not expected Xu Que to be so wealthy. Regardless of whether he could pay it all off at the end, he had still already spent over five billion Spirit Stones, which was an enormous number.
"This little chap is really good at making trouble!" The Water Empress shook her head with a wry smile.
After that, she waved her hand gently to summon a maidservant. Then she said in a low voice, "Go to the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce and stop them from asking for the two billion remaining debt from Xu Que. They can deduct that sum directly from my profit at this auction!"
The maidservant was stunned. Then she said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I've heard that General Zhuge had promised to the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce that he will pay off the balance after seven days. Now he has opened a store in the Imperial City. It seems that he is going to start a business."
"Is he going to open a store?" The Water Empress was surprised again.
"Yes. It is said the name of his store is McDonald's of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Many people are attracted by his store. However, it hasn't been officially opened. No one knows what commodity he is going to sell."
The Water Empress shook her head and couldn't help but laugh. "This little chap always gets such fantastic ideas. What kind of business could make over two billion Spirit Stones within seven days?"
"Yes, a lot of people are planning to have a good laugh at him."
The Water Empress smiled slightly again. "Maybe they will be disappointed."
"Ah?" The maidservant was surprised. "Your Majesty, just now you said that his ideas are always fantastic, right?"
"I mean his ideas are always different from those of normal people. Tasks that would be impossible for ordinary people can be accomplished through the fantastic ideas of this little chap," The Water Empress replied with a faint smile.
The maidservant was totally confused. "So…should I still go to the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce?"
"Not necessarily. Let's see what will happen in seven days." The Water Empress smiled.
The maidservant was even more confused.
To her, it was absolutely impossible for someone to earn over two billion Spirit Stones within seven days. Even the Water Empress would be able to make that happen.
But why was the Water Empress so confident about that General Zhuge?
….
In a guesthouse in the Imperial City, some young people who came from wealthy, official families were drinking in a private room. All of them were laughing.
"Haha, that Wang Sicong was actually Zhuge Liang in disguise. This is really a huge humiliation for him!"
"I thought he was going home to fetch Spirit Stones. I didn't expect him to open a store!"
"He is too childish! Does he really think he is a know-it-all? A war expert is not necessarily an expert in doing business!"
"He is daydreaming about earning over two billion Spirit Stones within seven days!"
"Even the most experienced businessmen couldn't promise to earn one hundred million Spirit Stones within seven days. How can he make over two billion?"
"Hehe, just ignore his bragging. In seven days, he will be a mockery."
"Exactly. I hope all of you will use your power to prevent people from buying whatever it is that he is planning to sell. Like that, all he will get will be humiliation and embarrassment!"
"Hahaha…"
The private room was filled with laughter.
…
At that moment, Xu Que had selected over ten soldiers who had basic cooking skills from the 3000 soldiers of the Snow City. Then he started individually teach each of the selected soldiers how to use these new technologies and products.
Furthermore, the meals of McDonald's were not very complicated. As long as the materials were available, everything could be made easily like an assembly line.
As a chef, what Xu Que could do was process the foods at the last step to add all kinds of magical effects.
Of course, he decided to try the foods himself before opening the store to verify all possible effects of the foods.
Finally, he wrote down the effects of each meal on the billboard, so that the customers could place orders accordingly.
After a whole morning's worth of busy learning, the selected soldiers had mastered the skills to operate the equipment purchased by Xu Que. Then they started to work excitedly.
Some of them were responsible for frying potato chips, some of them were responsible for frying chicken nuggets, some of them were order-takers and the rest were responsible for collecting the Spirit Stones.
Now, everything was ready.
"Okay, my brothers, let's set a small goal of earning one billion Spirit Stones on the opening day!" Xu Que started to motivate the soldiers by shouting loudly.
Hearing his goal, those selected soldiers freaked out.
Is he planning to earn one billion Spirit Stones on the opening day?
How… how could this be possible?
"Are you confident?" Xu Que asked loudly.
The soldiers replied, "Eh…"
Xu Que said, "Those who are not confident will be punished according to military law!"
Immediately the soldiers shouted, "We have confidence!"
Hearing that, Xu Que nodded his head satisfactorily. Regardless of whether the soldiers were confident or not, he was quite confident himself.
After being processed by Xu Que's chef skills, the foods would be even more effective than three-star or four-star potions.
Moreover, the effects of some of the meals could not be realized by potions.
"General Zhuge, Buttface is planning to sneak into our store to steal food by digging a hole in the backdoor," a soldier of the Snow City reported in a hurry.
"Tell him if he doesn't want to be strangled to death, he should go back to the Imperial Palace. I will grant him a reward of delicious food in the evening!" Xu Que waved his hand.
Then he turned to the main gate. Waving his hand, he shouted, "Soldiers, on my mark, let's open for business!"
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers replied in chorus, in high and vigorous spirits,
Meanwhile, a lot of curious onlookers had already gathered outside the store.
Many people were discussing the commodity of Xu Que's store, for the renovation style was so novelty that none of them had ever seen anything like in the past.
Also, some people were looking forward to witnessing Xu Que's humiliation on the opening day of his store.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Finally, Xu Que ordered his soldier to lift up the rolling door.
Being fully surprised, all onlookers stared at the store with curiosity.
Along with the lifting of the rolling door, a typical McDonald's style renovation came into view of the onlookers.
All onlookers were totally shocked and dumbfounded.
"Awesome! It's really beautiful!"
"Look at that! It really turns me on!"
"Save your breath! In this world, this kind of renovation style is unprecedented. Of course it would turn you on!"
"Gee, look, it seems that it is a food store!"
"Really? Who would buy foods with Spirit Stones in the Imperial City? This is definitely a rip-off!"
As they shook their heads, these onlookers started to read the menu on the billboards.
The next moment, their eyes widened in great shock.
"Holy shit! Could this…be food?"
"Grilled Chicken Burger of the Exploding Heavens Faction, and the price is five hundred thousand Spirit Stones for one?"
"Damn! French Fries of the Exploding Heavens Faction, the price is ten thousand Spirit Stones for a single fry?"
"My God! This must be an unscrupulous store!"

449 We Promise That If The Products Are Fake or Defective, We Will Compensate You with Ten Times’ the Product’s Original Value
Chapter 449: We Promise That If The Products Are Fake or Defective, We Will Compensate You with Ten Times’ the Product’s Original Value
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Inside the store, a billboard was hanging on the wall. On the board were pictures of all sorts of hamburgers, chicken wings, french fries and so on. Each one was tagged with its price and nutritional value.
In particular, the font size of the prices was very big.
"A yellow bun with some meat and vegetables in the middle costs five hundred thousand Spirit Stones of low quality?! This is insane!"
"The french fries are even more expensive. It is just potato, but he is selling it for the price of ten thousand Spirit Stones of low quality?! Wait a minute, each french fry costs ten thousand Spirit Stones of low quality…"
"And that 'Big Mac' is even more expensive than the french fries. Each one costs a million Spirit Stones of low quality!"
"My god! He really has no idea how to run a business! He only knows how to fight!"
…
Hearing this, Xu Que was not angry at all. He sat to the side with his legs crossed, lighting a cigarette and tapping the ash on a plate. The billboard also bore a few other words which read: 'No Smoking.'
The store was full of people, but no one dared to take a step forward and make an order, as everything was just so expensive.
"Oh, wait a moment, look over there!" a man suddenly yelled, pointing to the shop-sign.
"Look at the introduction next to the prices. The 'Grilled Chicken Burger' can help one recover immediately, and help him ascend into a higher stage… but it only works for someone who is in the Infant Transformation Stage, or at a lower stage than the Infant Transformation Stage."
"Holy sh*t! It that is true, this burger would be even more powerful than the Great Clarity Green Water Pill!"
"Nonsense! The Great Clarity Green Water Pill can help one exceed his own limits, and can be used many times. This burger can only be used once."
"And those french fries… With just one fry, you can increase the speed of your cultivation by two times in the span of one hour. That has the same function as the Soul Gathering Array."
"If this is true, then the price is actually very reasonable!"
"This cannot be true! Just think, we have never even heard about or seen this sort of food before."
"Yes, you are right. A bun with meat inside? A potato stick? It cannot have the same function as medicine does."
…
Besides, the prices were really high, so no one was willing to try anything.
But the written introductions were really alluring, especially for cultivators who were now experiencing a bottleneck in the development of their powers. They were desperate to ascend to a higher stage in a short time.
That was why the price of the Great Clarity Green Water Pill had gone up to sixty million Spirit Stones of low quality in the auction.
Now, one just needed to spend five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and they could possibly enjoy the same effect.
"General Zhuge, what if I fail to get into a higher stage after I eat your food?" asked a middle-aged man, who was at level 2 of the Infant Transformation Stage.
"He is the master of the Liu family, a very influential family in the Imperial City. I never thought that he would come here alone."
"It is said that he has been in a bottleneck for thirty years, I think he might never enter the next stage in this life."
"I guess he would like to take this opportunity."
"Anyway, he should tell us what he will do if the food does not work."
…
All of a sudden, everyone stared at Xu Que.
Xu Que calmly put out his cigarette and took out a small plate. On the plate, there was a sentence, which read: 'We promise that if the products you buy are fake or defective, we will compensate you with ten times' the product's original value.'
Seeing this, people at present took a deep breath.
He promises that if the products we buy are fake or defective, he will compensate us with ten times' the product's original value?
Really?! If the burger which costs five hundred thousand Spirit Stones of low quality does not work, he will compensate us with five million?
"Can this burger really be that powerful?"
The master was a little hesitant. After all, five hundred million Spirit Stones of low quality was not a small amount of money. He had to think carefully before making any move.
Right at this moment, many more onlookers came.
"Do not be tricked by him! He must be lying!"
"Yes! No one would dare to ask for compensation from him if the burger does not have the effect he claims it does."
"You all know who he really is, you can do nothing about him…"
…
Hearing this, all people at present were in agreement.
Yes, even if the burger is fake, no one would dare to ask for compensation from him…
Bang!
Xu Que suddenly stood up from his chair and coldly looked at his audience. Then he changed into a shadow that darted amongst the crowd.
"Ah!"
"What are you doing?"
A few cultivators were dragged out and thrown onto the street.
Xu Que then stepped on their chests so hard that the ground beneath them broke. The next minute, they all began to spit out blood and passed out.
"You are really audacious! Do you really think I am a big softie?" Xu Que sneered.
Then he walked slowly back to his store.
Seeing this, people backed off and got out of his way.
They realized that Xu Que was still the old Xu Que, who was a cruel devil.
"Get out. You guys can't even afford a burger of five hundred million Spirit Stones. Get out of my store!" Xu Que began to push people out.
Everyone felt furious.
How dare you despise us?!
Yes, we are not rich, so what?!
We are still human beings, how dare you treat us like this?!
You can not push us out like this!
But they all knew that Xu Que was very cruel, so no one really made any complaints.
The master of the Liu Family sneered. "General Zhuge, since you are running a business, you should at least treat us equally. If you want to make money, you should not behave like this!"
Xu Que frowned. "You know nothing! This is called 'Marketing', a concept put forward by Stanislavski, the Murong Pooper Master!"
People at present were stunned.
Stanislavski? the Murong Pooper Master?
The master of the Liu Family also shook his head. "General Zhuge, as a businessman, you should always be honest! You said that if the products we buy are fake or defective, you will compensate us with ten times the product's original value, do you really mean it?"
"Of course I mean it! Buy or don't buy, it's your choice." Xu Que shrugged.
The master said loudly. "Fine! Here are five hundred thousand Spirit Stones of low quality, give me a Grilled Chicken Burger please!"
The landlord threw his money heavily on the desk.
Xu Que did not even look at him. Instead he pointed to the counter. "Go to the counter and make your order."

450 My Gosh! This is so Delicious!
Chapter 450: My Gosh! This is so Delicious!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The master of the Liu family was filled with anger immediately!
Who the hell are all these people?
This kind of attitude is outrageous! They will never succeed in business with this kind of attitude!
After snorting coldly and wearing a gloomy expression, he went directly to the counter with his Spirit Stones.
The soldier of the Snow City who was responsible for taking orders also imitated Xu Que's style. With a deadpan face, he said listlessly, "What do you want?"
The master said, "Grilled Chicken Burger!"
The order-taking soldier said, "Single order?"
The master said, "Yes!"
The order-taking soldier said, "Do you want a coke?"
The master said, "No!"
The order-taking soldier said, "What about a french fry?"
The master said, "No!"
The order-taking soldier said, "Altogether that will be five hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones. Eat-in or take-out?"
The mouth of the master twitched. "I will eat here!"
The order-taking soldier nodded his head. After a few operations, he collected the Spirit Stones. Then he turned around to prepare the burger.
The materials had been personally prepared by Xu Que. The order-taking soldier only needed to pack the burger in paper. Then he casually handed the burger to the master of the Liu family.
The onlookers kept shaking their heads to express their dissatisfaction.
Regardless of whether it is delicious or not, can such a simple meal really lead to the breakthrough of a minor cultivation stage? It must be a complete lie!
The face of the master was quite gloomy. Before, he had still held a glimmer of hope, but now he was totally disappointed after seeing that the food had been served so casually.
He believed that he had definitely been fooled. Now he was even feeling a little bit regretful that he had acted so impulsively.
However, he had placed the order already, and he would be embarrassed if he had to ask for a refund in front of an audience.
After receiving the hot burger, the master peeled off the wrapping paper. The fantastic smell of meat wafted into his nose; suddenly his appetite spiked.
The onlookers were eager to know whether the effect of this burger was real, and all tightly fixed their eyes on him.
"You will be able to feel the effect after eating the burger," Xu Que reminded him slowly at that moment.
The master said nothing more. At most, this would teach him a lesson about getting fooled, even if it had been purchased for five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!
Puff!
He opened his mouth and took a bite of the burger.
The next moment, the master's eyes widened in disbelief.
The delicious taste, including the scorching aroma of the grilled chicken and the sweet-and-sour tang of the salad dressing, tickled his taste buds instantly. He suddenly felt very hungry!
My gosh! This is way too delicious!
The master was shocked. As an expert of the Infant Transformation Stage, he had been fasting for a long time and hadn't eaten anything for many years.
But this simple burger, which was so ordinary in appearance, had become so attractive to him.
"Lord Liu, how is the burger?" someone in the crowd asked at that moment.
The onlookers were quite curious as to whether the burger was delicious or not. Why did Lord Liu seem so emotionally moved?
However, the master had no time to answer the question. He devoured the burger quickly. It seemed as if he was still longing for more.
"It is so…" He was about to praise this delicious food.
All of a sudden, a mysterious force gushed out from his Dantian and rushed through his body, roaring like a tsunami.
"What?" The master was totally shocked.
He didn't have enough time to think more. The next moment, he sat down on the ground with his legs crossed and started to draw that force in with cultivation arts.
Boom!
After a few breaths, a formless airwave gushed out from his body. Then he opened his eyes suddenly with brand new momentum. His eyes were even clearer than before.
Level 3 of the Infant Transformation Stage!
"Did… I make it?" The master murmured to himself. His mind remained unclear for a while.
Did I break the bottleneck which has entangled me for so many years?
Did I create a breakthrough with just one meat burger?
…
All of the onlookers were also dumbfounded!
All of them had sensed the change in the master.
"Level 3…of the Infant Transformation Stage!"
"How…how could this be possible?"
"My God! He really realized a breakthrough to the next stage!"
"This is even more effective than the Great Clarity Green Water Pill! It is a pity that we can only eat one in our lifetime!"
"This is marvelous!"
Everyone was exclaiming with disbelief.
This miracle that they had witnessed had almost renewed their outlook on life!
Whoosh!
The master of the Liu family stood up immediately and looked at Xu Que excitedly. Then he said with immense gratitude, "Thank you, General Zhuge! I apologize to you for my words and deeds just now."
After finishing his words, he even made a bow to Xu Que.
Xu Que waved his hand calmly. "Don't mention it. It's just business."
"General Zhuge, in any case, I really appreciate you this time. After making the breakthrough, I even broke my bottleneck. Here are five million Spirit Stones. I want to buy another ten burgers like these for the elders of my family who are still entangled by their bottlenecks," The master said excitedly.
His breakthrough this time could greatly promote the status of his family.
If the other elders could also make breakthrough, a complete transformation would happen in his family, and their status would also be promoted remarkably.
Therefore, a few million Spirit Stones was cheap and cost-effective if it produced such a result.
Seeing this, the onlookers could hardly stand still.
Holy shit! This is for real!
Marvelous food like this really exists in this world!
It doesn't matter yet how many times we can eat it in our lives… let's buy it first.
All at once, many onlookers rushed into the store and gathered in front of the counter. Then they started to shout loudly, "I will also buy ten burgers!"
"Me too!"
"I will buy three burgers!"
"I will buy five burgers!"
"Shit, don't push me!"
…
Instantly the store was in chaos.
At this moment, Xu Que stood up with a smile and shouted, "Guys, it's late now. We will close the store. Those who want to buy burgers should come earlier tomorrow!" After saying that, he stopped smiling, turned around and shouted at the counter, "Tidy up and prepare to close the store!"
Hearing that, everyone in the store was totally surprised.
"What the hell?"
"Are they going to close the store now?"
"No, General Zhuge, let me buy several burgers first."
"Yeah, you can't close the store after selling just one burger!"
"Please! Let us buy some burgers first!"
…
A lot of people were imploring him wryly. They were cultivators who had been stuck in their current stage for many years, and most of them had lost hope in making breakthrough.
But now they had found hope! Their long-lasting problem could be solved with only five hundred thousand Spirit Stones! Now Xu Que was their savior.
However, Xu Que refused resolutely. "Just go! This is an enterprise with a conscience. We open at nine in morning and close at five in evening. We always close on time! We never work overtime."
"Please don't do that! General Zhuge, please calm down. How about increasing the price to one million for one burger?"
"Right! We are okay with you increasing the price!"
All the other onlookers nodded.
Xu Que didn't change his mind. "That's not going to happen! What do you take me for? Am I an unscrupulous merchant who would increase his prices arbitrarily? Credibility is key to business. The price of one burger is five hundred thousand, and it will not be changed. So, save your words. It is useless to stay here. Just go!"
"This…" All the onlookers were tongue-tied and wearing gloomy expressions.
Expressions of regret appeared in the faces of many people. They harbored resentment in their hearts as they cursed themselves for having hesitated.
Before such a great temptation, none of them could wait to come back the next day.
However, they had not expected Xu Que to be so resolute and upright by rejecting their purchase requests, even when they had suggested increasing the price.
Due to his reputation as well, the onlookers dared not force Xu Que to sell them the burgers. Finally, all of them shook their heads and sighed.
"Alas!"
"Never mind. Let's come back earlier tomorrow."
The onlookers turned around and walked to the gate ruefully.
Whoosh!
Just at that moment, a figure skimmed over suddenly.
The onlookers were surprised. Then they found it was Xu Que standing at the gate.
His expression had changed. With a smile on his face, he winked and said, "Sir, do you need a membership card? With the membership card, you will be able to order your food immediately."

Membership card?
Hearing this, everyone was confused.
Xu Que smiled. "You have all come at a good time today. Since today is the first day, you can all have a membership card for only ten million Spirit Stones. Anyone who has a membership card will become a VIP at McDonald's of Exploding Heavens Faction. You can order anytime you want, and we will provide you with the best service twelve hours per day."
What?! A membership card that costs ten million Spirit Stones of low quality? You can't force a high price like this! Since you are a businessman, you should be decent and sensible!
Everyone was speechless.
Just a few moments ago, Xu Que had said that his company was one with integrity. Now he was saying that one could buy a hamburger whenever they liked, on the condition that they had a membership card which would cost ten million Spirit Stones of low quality.
"There is no time for you to hesitate. Follow your hearts and buy the card!" Xu Que shouted.
Hesitate? Follow my heart and buy your card? Shut the f*ck up!
"Remember, the number of membership cards is limited, it will be sold out by the end of the day!"
Hearing this, some people in the crowd decided to buy it.
In particular, the master of Liu family thought he could make some sort of profit from this.
If what the young man said about the burger is true, there will be many people coming to buy it after tomorrow. Since the number of membership cards available is limited, if I have one, I can have the burger earlier than those who do not have the membership card. I can buy a huge amount of them and sell them to others for a higher price. I am sure I can make a huge profit!
"It's getting late now. In ten seconds, the membership card will no longer be available. Ten, nine, eight, seven…" Xu Que started to count.
All of a sudden, many people became impatient. "Wait, wait, I want one!"
"Me too."
"I am the first one who wanted to buy it. Let me buy first, here are the ten million Spirit Stones of low quality."
"General Zhuge, I will ask my servant to fetch the Spirit Stones from home."
Suddenly, some people went back to their stores to fetch money. Some came forward to buy cards, and some hurriedly went back home to retrieve their Spirit Stones.
Most of the people stayed still, feeling rather jealous.
After all, ten million Spirit Stones was a huge sum of money for them. They had no choice but to come here tomorrow morning and buy one.
So far, Xu Que had only managed to sell one burger, but he had obtained over a hundred million Spirit Stones by selling membership cards.
Later, those who had bought membership cards also bought some burgers and french fries.
McDonald's of Exploding Heavens Faction did not close until late that that night.
Xu Que closed the door of his store and paid a visit to the surrounding stores, while carrying around a hundred million Spirit Stones of low quality with himself.
It would not be difficult to make two billion Spirit Stones with only one McDonald's of Exploding Heavens Faction, but to make that much money in five days was not an easy thing to do.
In fact, Xu Que never meant to rely solely on one store.
He wanted to establish a commercial kingdom to help him make enough money in a short time. He even had a name for this kingdom, which was 'Wanda Plaza of Exploding Heavens Faction'.
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Hey chap, open the door, I have come to check your water-meter... oh, wait, actually I came to ask if you would like to sell your store to me."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Hey, would you like to sell your store to me? I will buy it for a high price."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
Xu Que spent the whole night walking on the street and paying visits to all the stores along the street, as if he was doing some sort of campaign work.
At last, he spent all the money he had made earlier buying many stores.
Each of the stores cost him around two million. Some stores would be branches of the McDonald's of Exploding Heavens Faction. As for the rest of the stores, he had bought them simply to make investments.
Compared to people in the Cultivation World, Xu Que who had come from earth knew that investing in real estate would bring huge profits.
He knew that once he transformed the whole street into his commercial kingdom, the price of houses there would definitely roar.
…
Xu Que happily went back to the palace and rested, without waking anyone else.
He brought a burger and left it out for Buttface. After all, he had promised Buttface that he would treat him to a good meal.
Smelling the aroma, Buttface immediately woke up. He was so moved that he even cried. He promised that he would stick with Xu Que through thick and thin. He then ate the whole burger in one bite, as if he was afraid that Xu Que would take it away.
"Loser!" Xu Que went back to his room and slept.
…
The next day, in front of the McDonald's of Exploding Heavens Faction, huge number of people were standing in line.
Countless noblemen of the Imperial City had all gathered in front of the store after hearing about the hamburgers and french fries. Some people from the influential factions had come too.
As time passed, more and more people came. Soon, people filled the whole street.
Some people even wanted to buy places earlier in line, but no one was willing to sell their place.
"What's going on? Why on earth there are so many powerful and influential people here?" A random man was surprised when he saw this scene.
"They have come to wait for General Zhuge to open his store and buy his burgers and french fries."
"F*ck! What's really going on?"
"You know the master of the Liu family, right? He had been stuck at level 2 of the Infant Transformation Stage for almost thirty years, but amazingly, he reached the next level after eating the burger. This burger only costs five hundred thousand Spirit Stones of low quality."
"No way! This cannot be true!"
"If I am lying, then why are there so many people waiting to buy the hamburger?"
"I must go back and report this to my master."
…
Soon, the news spread throughout the whole Imperial City, and people came out from all areas.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The soldiers of the Snow City who were inside the store woke up at last, and were stunned by the crowd that greeted them when they opened the door.
"This is General Zhuge's store! Have you people come to loot?" a soldier asked.
"No, no, no. we have come to buy the burger!"
"I have come for the french fries."
"I want a Grilled Chicken Burger."
"I want three Grilled Chicken Burgers."
"Please sell one hamburger to me, I have got both my old parents and my children to feed."
…
Hearing this, the soldiers felt relieved. "Fine, stand in line. If anyone tries to cut in line, we will shut the door."
"Do not worry, we will behave ourselves."
"If anyone dares to cut in line, I will kill him."
"Yes, kill him!"

452 What a Profiteer He is!
Chapter 452: What a Profiteer He is!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
That day, Xu Que didn't go to the store but kept on sleeping in the Imperial Palace.
He had told his underlings everything they needed to know. He didn't need to stay in the assembly line of a fast food store like McDonald's.
However, the Water Empress had heard the news about him.
A maidservant sent someone to buy a Grilled Chicken Burger and took it to the Water Empress.
The Water Empress was surprised by the food.
Could this stuffed bun really create a minor cultivation stage breakthrough for experts of the Infant Transformation Stage? She stared at the burger carefully, eyes filled with disbelief.
It was also a meal the Water Empress had never heard of before; and it could somehow bring about an effect that many potions were unable to produce.
It was extremely difficult to realize a breakthrough for each minor stage of the Infant Transformation Stage. Some people were trapped in a bottleneck their whole lives, never able to experience a breakthrough.
But now could this problem be easily solved by one ordinary, stuffed bun?
The Water Empress was quite surprised even though she had experienced an increase in Soul Strength by tasting the stinky tofu that had been prepared by Xu Que in the past.
The maidservant was also shocked. After receiving the message, she looked totally petrified for she had never expected Xu Que to be able to prepare such a marvelous meal, which was also so hot on the market.
"Your Majesty, your prophetic vision was awesome! General Zhuge really has great magic powers. Now there is a long queue outside his store. Even people from neighboring cities have come for his burger!" the maidservant couldn't help exclaiming.
Before, the maidservant had not believed what the Water Empress had said about Xu Que being a man who could create miracles. Now she was totally convinced.
The Water Empress smiled slightly and said nothing. She continued to fix her eyes on the burger in her hand and watched it carefully.
At this moment, the maidservant said carefully, "Your Majesty, now there are only four days left. Even though so many people are coming to buy his burger, it will still be very difficult for General Zhuge to earn over two billion Spirit Stones in such a short amount of time."
The Water Empress smiled wryly and shook her head. "Look at his personality, this little chap will never stop here. I'm afraid that he will make even more noise."
…
As expected, Xu Que woke up in the afternoon. He ran outside after changing his clothes.
He didn't go back to McDonald's of the Exploding Heavens Faction, but started to take a close look at the stores he had purchased last night. Finally, he chose two neighboring stores. Then he walked inside one of them and pulled down the partition wall with one punch.
After that, he started to renovate the store.
This time he improved the renovation class of the new store, so that it was much better than that of his McDonald's store.
Some passers-by heard the noise and were surprised.
"Look, General Zhuge is renovating a new store!"
"Could it be that he is opening another branch? This is really good news!"
"Yeah! If so, we won't need to stand in such a long queue!"
"General Zhuge is really nice! He always thinks about what's best for ordinary people!"
Everyone was excited and stopped outside the store. They were curious when this new store would be opened, so they wouldn't need to queue up for a long time.
After a while, the onlookers started to feel confused.
"It's strange. It seems this new store is different."
"Eh, obviously, the renovation style of this store is totally different from that of the McDonald's."
"It seems its renovation class has improved remarkably though. It looks very comfortable!"
"General Zhuge's technique is awesome! Look at the decorations, they are excellent!"
"This time the tables and chairs are wooden, which is quite similar to some of our stores."
"Right, this new store represents a more intimate and familiar environment."
Many people were complimenting the renovation of the new store.
However, some people started to shake their heads soon enough.
"I am afraid this kind of renovation will run counter to his objectives."
"Yeah, the more local the style is, the less the novelty will be!"
"Exactly! I'm afraid this time he has outsmarted even himself!"
"Although we have come here for the burgers and french fries, the environment is also very important! Everyone likes a good novelty. He will make a fool of himself if the business of the new store does not do as well as that of the old store."
A lot of people took a dim view of this renovation style.
Someone retorted, "If the store does not perform well enough, General Zhuge may open several more, which will solve all these problems!"
"That's impossible! Those burgers are marvelous, but one person can only eat one burger in their lifetime. It is not a permanent solution. Also, anyone who has already eaten a burger will not buy another, and there are many people who are not able to afford it as well. Opening up a lot more branches would be useless!"
"Don't worry! We can still buy french fries!"
…
People started to argue.
However, Xu Que just ignored the arguments and continued his renovation.
With the help of his True Core Strength and Soul Strength, the renovation progressed rapidly.
After several hours, Xu Que finished his renovations successfully.
When he hung the sign outside the store, all the onlookers were immediately shocked!
"Starbucks of the Exploding Heavens Faction?"
"What is the meaning of this name? Isn't it McDonald's?"
"Could it be that this store doesn't sell burgers?"
"My gosh! Look, the menu has been placed in the store."
"Ca…Cappuccino?"
"Vanilla Latte?"
"Caramel Macchiato?"
"Short – 1 million Spirit Stones; Grande – 1.5 million Spirit Stones; Venti – 2 million Spirit Stones. My god, these are the same sky-high prices as before!"
"Where are the effects? Why didn't he add the effects to the menu?"
"Right. What do Short, Grande and Venti stand for? Is there any difference between them?"
…
All at once, the onlookers outside the store started to complain and quarrel loudly.
They had thought Xu Que was going to open a branch of McDonald's, but they hadn't expected Xu Que to open a new store with a weird name that wasn't even catchy!
Even more frightening was the fact that the prices were very high, several times more expensive than the Grilled Chicken Burger. However, the effects of the commodities were not mentioned, evoking the curiosity of the onlookers very much.
Just at that moment, Xu Que walked out suddenly. He purchased a small blackboard from the System and hung it outside the door, with writing that read"
'This is an exclusive store for 'Diamond Members'. From now on, those who have spent over twenty million Spirit Stones in the 'McDonald's of the Exploding Heavens Faction' may come and claim their 'Diamond Membership' Card within three days.'
…
"Whoa!"
All of a sudden, the onlookers were in an uproar!
What the hell is that?
Only those who have spent twenty million Spirit Stones can purchase things at this store?
Damn! This is outrageous! This is definitely a rip-off!
Twenty million Spirit Stones… does that mean even those who have obtained a membership card for McDonald's will also have to spend another million to earn access to this store?
He is a profiteer, 100% a profiteer!
…
Soon the news spread.
Many people were dumbfounded after hearing that Xu Que had opened a new store to sell new delicacies.
But the next moment, they became so angry that they were about to spit blood when they heard that only Diamond Members who had spent twenty million Spirit Stones could enter the shop.
Holy shit! How could such an unscrupulous profiteer like him exist in this world?
This is annoying!
This is way too annoying!
…
That day, the news passed quickly from mouth to mouth.
The news of the Starbucks of the Exploding Heavens Faction spread all over the Imperial City, and surprised everyone.
However, people didn't know that Xu Que's money-making plan had just begun.

453 I have to buy i
Chapter 453: I have to buy it
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
All of a sudden, everyone realized that the so-called membership card had just been a trap!
However, although they already knew that it was a trap, they still wanted to enter that trap.
After all, General Zhuge was the only person in this world who could make this miraculous burger.
…
A burger that could help one enter the next level only cost five hundred thousand Spirit Stones of low quality.
But without the membership card, it was impossible to buy one no matter how long you had waited.
It was said that a man had come very early that morning and was fifth in the line. Nevertheless, he still did not get the chance to buy a burger until late in the afternoon, since those who had membership cards could buy a burger without waiting. After all, the idea of the McDonald's was 'members first'.
Thus, in fact, a hamburger did not only cost five hundred thousand Spirit Stones of low quality—in reality, it cost ten million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
As soon as people realised this, some of them quickly went to buy membership cards, but failed to do so as the time period for purchasing it had already elapsed.
Those who had already bought the membership card felt extremely happy about their own foresight.
As for those who had not been able to buy membership cards, they were very anxious.
What's wrong with this world?! I have never met someone who doesn't like making money.
"Our General Zhuge is someone with principle," a soldier of the Snow City said.
…
Xu Que had been working for a long time and soon enough, he had built another shop, Starbucks. But this time, only those who were Diamond Members could enter it.
Those who had bought membership cards and tasted burger that had helped them enter a higher level could no longer resist the temptation.
To become a Diamond Member, one needed to use at least twenty million Spirit Stones of low quality at McDonald's.
Those who had bought membership cards already felt that it would be a real shame if they did not become Diamond Members, since they had already become members anyway.
"Yes, I want to become a Diamond Member."
"If I don't become a Diamond Member, I will be inferior to those who are."
…
That night, those members rushed into the store and paid another ten million Spirit Stones of low quality to become Diamond Members.
Meanwhile, those who had not had the chance to become members paid twenty million Spirit Stones to become Diamond Members.
After all, they had already known the advantages of being a member of the store. They could not possibly miss the chance to enjoy the privilege of being a Diamond Member.
"I have to go back and report this to my lord. We have to become Diamond Members."
"Go and tell the lord, I will get to the counter soon."
"Although I have no idea what benefits the commodities sold at Starbucks will bring, since they are all very expensive, I am sure I will not be let down."
"They must be even better than the french fries."
That night, McDonald's stayed open all night. Countless people were standing in line, waiting in front of the store and trying to become Diamond Members.
The soldiers of the Snow City were shocked by this scene and worked all night.
…
Meanwhile, in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, there was a gathering taking place of many influential figures in the business world. They were all wearing serious expressions.
"That General Zhuge is really a genius!"
"Sustainable consumption, a trick we have never used before."
"I thought he was only good at fighting on the battlefield, it never occurred to me that he would also be so good at doing business."
"He is really scary."
"I admit he has done a great job, and we can do some research on the trick he has used. But it is still impossible for him to make two billion Spirit Stones in just a few days!"
"Yes, I have been told that he has only made six hundred million Spirit Stones over the past few days."
"So, are we going to give him more time? But if we do so, our reputation will be affected. If we do not, he might hold some grudge against us and become a threat."
"It's really hard to make a decision."
…
In the palace, the Water Empress was extremely surprised by Xu Que's doings.
"This little chap... is really a genius!"
She was confident that Xu Que could collect enough money easily, but she was still impressed by his idea of 'Diamond Members'.
She remarked, "Only he could come up with these wonderful ideas."
The maid standing next to her nodded.
…
At that moment, Xu Que was making all sorts of coffee at Starbucks. He did not care if the people in the Cultivation World would like the flavour of coffee—he only cared about making sure the coffee would have the effect it needed to have.
When he made the first cappuccino, Xu Que was shocked by the result. It could triple one's Soul Strength!
This effect was exactly what those refiners and alchemists would want.
When he made a vanilla latte, he was again surprised. Anyone who drank it would be able to divide his Soul Strength into two parts, and each part could control a certain object.
Plus, the bigger a cup was, the longer the effect would last.
In Xu Que's view, twenty million Spirit Stones was a reasonable price. This time, his target customers were mainly refiners and alchemists, or those from influential factions.
These people all shared a common trait—they all had a huge amount of Spirit Stones.
When Xu Que got the Starbucks in order, he began to teach a group of soldiers how to make coffee.
And later, he began to design his third store: Häagen-Dazs of Exploding Heavens Faction.
…
The very next day, the Starbucks opened.
As soon as the door opened, people with Diamond Membership cards swarmed into the store.
After they saw the benefits of each cup of coffee, they were stunned.
The food in the McDonald's could help one enter a higher level, but the coffee in the Starbucks could enhance one's Soul Strength.
"I have to buy it!"

454 Knockoff of My Burger?
Chapter 454: Knockoff of My Burger?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
That day, a lot of spendthrift sects and families spent a lot of Spirit Stones in Xu Que's new store.
Each of them obtained Diamond Membership and bought over ten cups of coffee each for their alchemists and equipment refiners.
In one family, an alchemist was ready for potion refining.
He was a five-star alchemist. However, the success rate of his potion refining was not very high. Basically, when he finished refining one batch of potions, he would always need to take a break, as he would have consumed too much Soul Strength during the refining process.
However, this family was facing a great battle, so a lot of potions were needed.
The whole family was worried about the potions, had been considering inviting other experts to help. However, after hearing about this magical coffee that was extremely effective for Soul Strength, they bought the coffee without any hesitation.
Enhancing one's Soul Strength by three times was a precious thing for the alchemists and equipment refiners, even if the effects could only last for a day.
Now this alchemist was full of confidence.
"OK, bring me my cappuccino!"
The high-spirited alchemist drank up the coffee in one gulp. Then his Soul Strength rose sharply. Immediately, he began to refine his potions with fiery eyes.
Outside the Potion Refining House, the bigshots of the family nodded their heads in satisfaction.
"This Cappuccino is really worthwhile!"
"Someone go to the store and buy twenty cups of coffee with my Diamond Membership Card!"
…
In one sect, an equipment refiner was even tougher. After waving his hand, he drank one cappuccino and one vanilla latte right away. Then his Soul Strength increased remarkably. Meanwhile, he could split his attention between two tasks during the process of equipment refining.
All members of the sect were dumbfounded by its effects.
…
Similar things were happening in many other sects and families.
At the end of the day, although only a few people could enter Xu Que's Starbucks of the Exploding Heavens Faction, the total profit of Starbucks was much more than that of his McDonald's store.
The next day, a new sight was spotted in the Imperial City.
Young people of rich or official families bought a cup of coffee with the Diamond Membership cards of their elders. Then they started to hang out on the street, holding the coffee cup with the Starbucks logo in their hands.
Passers-by who recognized that logo were immediately moved, and started to toss envious glances at the holders.
"My gosh! Look, he is holding a cup of Starbucks coffee!"
"Incredible. His background must be formidable!"
"Someone who can afford a cup of Starbucks coffee must be extraordinary!"
People couldn't help exclaiming.
…
On a street, several beautiful young girls were taking a walk.
Suddenly, one of the girls stopped. Her eyes widened. Then she started to shout in surprise, pointing at a handsome passing boy.
"Wow, look! Isn't he a commoner? He has always been such a low-key person. I never expected him to be able to afford Starbucks of the Exploding Heavens Faction. He is so cool!"
Hearing that, the rest of the girls looked up. Soon they were fascinated by the boy's impressive poise and couldn't remain calm anymore.
…
Some young people of rich or official families were shocked by these scenes.
"What the hell? Can one be cool by just holding a cup of Starbucks coffee?"
"Go, get me Spirit Stones from home, I will also obtain a Diamond Membership!"
"Look at his arrogance! He's not the only one who can afford a cup of Starbucks coffee!"
"Exactly, I am going to obtain a Diamond Membership now."
…
Soon, another stampede of people rushed to the McDonald's to spend their Spirit Stones.
Some people who didn't want to wait in the queue just dropped twenty million Spirit Stones to obtain the Diamond Membership card without even waiting for the food.
The profit of the Starbucks of the Exploding Heavens Faction rocketed up instantly.
Two days had passed. One soldier of the Snow City made a rough calculation of the statistics, and realized they had made a net profit of 1.3 billion low grade Spirit Stones.
The figure was very impressive!
The same day, the Royal City was surprised by more startling news.
"My God! Have you heard that an expert, who used to be a Royal Chef in the Imperial Palace, was the one who worked out the recipe for the burger!"
"Shit! This can't be real! Can the recipe be worked out so easily?"
"It is for real. It is said that that expert used to be a famous Royal Chef. His sense of smell and taste are very powerful!"
"It seems something big will happen! With the emergence of competitors, it will be difficult for General Zhuge to maintain his business."
…
The Royal City was filled with uproar about the news. Everyone was talking about this issue.
Some young people from rich or official families stood up and said with cold smiles, "The Royal Chef has been co-invited by our Li family, Liu family and Ma family. Please rub your eyes and wait. We are about to succeed soon. When that happens, everyone will be able to eat burgers."
"This time we have spent over one hundred million Spirit Stones and have tried numerous ingredients. Finally, success is in sight."
…
Hearing that, people became even more excited.
Are they on the verge of success?
My gosh! It seems that we will all be able to eat burgers soon!
But these families are too bold. Aren't they afraid of being searched and having their materials confiscated by General Zhuge?
"We are not afraid of him. We believe the Water Empress is clear-sighted."
"This is a fair competition. If General Zhuge leads his troops to search our families and confiscate our properties, we will accept that! Doesn't the Imperial City have basic justice? And who would dare to come to this city again in future?"
People from those families spoke one after another.
…
Finally, the Water Empress was informed of this issue. Then she summoned Xu Que to the Palace personally.
"Little chap, don't make trouble please. When this issue is over, I will take care of those families." The Water Empress looked at Xu Que with a faint smile. She was really worried that Xu Que would go to search their families and confiscate their properties, which would embarrass her greatly.
However, Xu Que said anxiously, "No, why will you punish them? If they want to make burgers, just let them do that."
"Oh?" The Water Empress was stunned a bit. Why is this little chap changing his personality?
"Young lady, please be reassured, just stay in the Royal Palace. Tomorrow I will invite you to eat ice-cream. As for those guys, just leave them alone. I will also ignore them," Xu Que said with a generous smile. Then he left the Palace.
Are you studying my recipe?
You could never work out the recipe of the Act Tough King's burger easily!
Even if you could work out the recipe, then what?
Those effects had been enchanted by the System, and it was impossible for them to have a System.
Therefore, Xu Que felt quite assured, and wasn't afraid of the emergence of these competitors at all!
After leaving the Imperial Palace, Xu Que also sent word.
"Someone is imitating my face. Someone is imitating my expression. Now someone is copycatting my burger! It doesn't matter. They can enjoy their imitation. Their knock-offs are just shiny-boxes. If they can really create a burger with the same effect as mine, I will commit suicide by swallowing excrement!"
Hearing Xu Que's words, people of the Imperial City gasped in shock, hardly able to stay in their seats.
General Zhuge is really a tough guy!
He is so confident that he is even making an oath to commit suicide by swallowing excrement!
How can he be so sure that those families won't be able to work out the burger?
Immediately, people from those families gave their responses.
"General Zhuge, don't be so arrogant. We will work out the recipe today!"
"In one hour, you will see the result!"
"We will never fail!"

455 You will pay for copying our business!
Chapter 455: You will pay for copying our business!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
They were extremely confident and believed they could make the same food as Xu Que with ease.
Many people in the Imperial City were drawn to the store that had been opened by the people of those influential factions, wanting to see them make the burger with their own eyes.
The people of those influential factions pulled the door right open, so their viewers could watch the former royal chef make the burger.
Bread, meat, vegetables and even salad dressing had been laid out on the table.
In less than half an hour, the chef managed to make a few burgers.
These burgers looked exactly like the ones made by Xu Que, both in appearance and ingredients.
"Now everyone, we have made the burgers. Next, a few young men in our faction will taste them. I am sure that they will be able to enter a higher level of cultivation!"
An influential figure came out, smiling.
A few men walked forward and each grabbed a burger, as did the chef.
They all took a deep breath and took big bites of their burgers.
"My god! It is really tasty!"
They wore expressions of satisfaction as they devoured the burger.
Even the viewers drooled over the sight of the burger.
Very quickly, the burgers were eaten up completely.
A few minutes passed, and nothing happened.
Fifteen minutes passed, still nothing happened.
Almost half an hour later, still nothing happened.
No one made any sound.
Obviously, the people from the influential faction had failed.
"No way! This is impossible! It tastes exactly like the burger made by Xu Que, why hasn't it helped them enter a higher level?" the chef groaned.
He had indeed made the burger, and he had done a great job!
But when Xu Que was making a burger, it was immediately granted magical powers due to his Chef skills. No one in the world would be able to do it apart from him.
"How could it be?" those from the influential factions exclaimed.
We have spent so many Spirit Stones on this, and this has cost us so much manual power! And we failed? It is so disgraceful!
Earlier, they had criticized Xu Que for being very arrogant, while in fact, they had been the ones who were arrogant.
…
Right at that moment, a soldier of Snow City was riding towards the store. He had been sent by Xu Que to deliver his condolences.
"On behalf of the people in the Imperial Palace, the General Zhuge sends his condolences to the Li family, Liu family and Ma family."
Then, the soldier handed a floral wreath to them.
Those from the influential factions were so angry that they almost passed out.
Seeing this, the viewers were all speechless.
This General Zhuge is really cheeky! They have failed already, but he has even sent them a wreath to humiliate them!
"Go back and tell your General Zhuge to mind his own business!" an influential man said.
The soldier sneered. "Wait. General Zhuge said the Diamond Membership cards of you three families are no longer available. You cannot apply for a new one and you are all forbidden to buy things from both McDonald's and Starbucks."
Hearing this, everyone at present was shocked.
They had spent tens of millions of Spirit Stones on those cards, and they are no longer available?! And they are all forbidden to buy things from him?! My gosh, this is just awful!
The people from the three influential families were stunned.
We can accept the fact that we have failed to make the same burger, we can also accept the fact that our money has been wasted. But if we can no longer buy things from his stores… that poses a great threat and loss to our families.
"You cannot do this to us! You cannot cancel our membership like this!"
The soldier sneered. "The General Zhuge said you should check the conditions on the back of the card: 'General Zhuge reserves his right to make a final explanation'."
"What?"
They took out their cards and almost fainted when they read the words on the back, which were almost too tiny to be seen.
F*ck! You are joking!
…
The soldier smiled. "We have canceled your membership on purpose, and so what? You can do nothing about this! Are you mad? Are you mad? Haha!"
They were furious, but they did not dare to punch him in the face.
They knew that once they did it, their homes were bound to be looted by Xu Que.
…
The audience shook their heads.
He is General Zhuge, no one dares to contradict with him!
"Anyway, they were the ones in the wrong, not General Zhuge."
"Yes! You were the ones who copied his business, and you have been so arrogant. You warned General Zhuge not be arrogant and provoked him."
"In fact, I am on General Zhuge's side this time."
"Me too."
"I want to make it clear that I am on General Zhuge's side."
Many people who had Diamond Membership cards stood up.
In less than a day, the news that the three influential families' had failed to copy Xu Que's business and had had their memberships canceled spread out the city.
The phrase 'General Zhuge reserves his right to make a final explanation' suddenly become buzzwords.
The members of Xu Que's stores all decided not to offend Xu Que.
…
Soon, more news broke out.
"What? General Zhuge is going to open a third store?"
"Yes, his new store has already been decorated. It is going to be opened today."
"Häagen-Dazs of Exploding Heavens Faction? What on earth is that?"
"I heard that the General Zhuge once made a sort of ice lolly that was able to regenerate his soldiers very quickly."
"Does it mean that the Häagen-Dazs ice cream will have the same effect?"
"I don't think so. They do not even share the same name!"
"Anyway, I am very much looking forward to it!"
…
Meanwhile, many people had already prepared enough Spirit Stones to become members.
On the opening day of the Häagen-Dazs of Exploding Heavens Faction, Xu Que put up a notice on the wall.
'Only Supreme Members are allowed to enter this store.'
'To be a Supreme Member, one must pay a hundred million Spirit Stones of low quality! Only twenty cards are available! Anyone who becomes a Supreme Member can receive an ice-cream hotpot for free!'

456 The Supreme Member Card
Chapter 456: The Supreme Member Card
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The whole city was shocked again by the news of the Supreme Member Card.
Many people were so angry that they were on the verge of spitting blood.
We just obtained the Diamond Member card, and now you want to ask us to obtain a Supreme Member card!
We don't need this fucking Supreme Member card!
You should be thankful if we even go shopping in your store. But you're asking us to buy this membership for one hundred million Spirit Stones! And only twenty people are able to enjoy this privilege!
Apparently, numerous people had been scared away by this membership system stipulated by Xu Que.
"One hundred million Spirit Stones? Is he insane?"
"Does he still want to do business here?"
"Nobody will even buy that membership. The total sum of one hundred million Spirit Stones is too formidable!"
"Yes. Anyway, I can't afford this membership."
"Tell him to go to hell!"
Countless people were rejecting the idea of this Supreme Membership.
However, Xu Que had never expected everyone to be able to enjoy his Haagen-Dazs ice-cream!
After all, the production difficulty of this Haagen-Dazs ice-cream was far beyond what Xu Que had originally imagined.
As a three-star chef, he could handle many delicacies!
However, the System had told him that the Haagen-Dazs ice-cream was almost a four-star food, and thus the production difficulty level was very high.
He could spend ten thousand Acting Tough Points enhancing his chef level to four-star chef. Alternatively, he could only make ten ice-creams per day. If he tried to make more than ten per day, his soul would suffer permanent damage!
This was definitely something Xu Que would never do. Why should I spend ten thousand Acting Tough Points upgrading my Chef skill to four-star? Just to earn some Spirit Stones? Nobody would be willing to do that!
No, I will never do that!
I can only make ten ice creams a day, right? No problem! The cost is high, so the price will also be high!
For example, I can set up a one-hundred-million-member club… then I can introduce an ice-cream hotpot for which the price is over ten million Spirit Stones! In this way, I will be able to earn over two billion back in a short time.
Therefore, whilst others had been studying his burger recipe and challenging him on it, Xu Que had finished the production of ten Haagen-Dazs Ice-Cream Hotpots in silence.
The outward appearance and taste of his ice-cream were unique in this world.
However, Xu Que was surprised by the effects of his Haagen-Dazs ice-cream.
[Haagen-Dazs Ice-Cream]:
'One can only consume this ice-cream once in their life. It can refine a person's Spiritual Root, change one's natural gift and even create a Spiritual Root of a different nature!'
"My Gosh! This is against nature! I'm still young, but this is really awesome! I really can't imagine how awesome I will be when I am an adult!" Xu Que started to shout blusteringly.
This Haagen-Dazs Ice-Cream was much more powerful than the Ice Lolly!
Without any hesitation, he wrote down the effect and hung it outside the door. The next moment, he went to the entrance and sat in a chair with his legs crossed. Then he started to smoke a cigarette confidently.
At this moment, the onlookers outside his store were still complaining about the high price of the Supreme Member card and had resolutely rejected the membership.
But the next moment, all people were dumbfounded!
Could his ice creams be used to change the Spiritual Root?
All at once, all the onlookers were badly scared. Their expressions changed to masks of terror.
In the World of Cultivators, cultivation and Soul Strength could be gained through efforts after birth. Bottlenecks could be broken by elixirs.
However, the Spiritual Root was determined congenitally. Whether a person had a Spiritual Root gift for cultivation was determined at birth.
The Spiritual Root was what differentiated cultivators from ordinary people.
Ordinary people could not be admitted to cultivation sects to practise cultivation because they hadn't been born with the necessary Spiritual Root to access this opportunity.
However, the Spiritual Roots could also be distinguished into those that were good and those that were bad.
In the Five Nations, the most powerful Spiritual Root was the Celestial Spiritual Roots. The bearers of this kind of Spiritual Root were endowed with brilliant gifts and extremely fast cultivation. After one year of cultivation, these people could accomplish achievements that cultivators with normal Spiritual Roots would need ten years to attain.
Moreover, ordinary cultivators only had one Spiritual Root. Geniuses with two Spiritual Roots were so rare that only one could be found every one thousand years, or even every ten thousand years. Also, these geniuses would certainly be admitted to large sects after their emergence.
Therefore, Spiritual Roots were key to a person's gift.
In addition, no matter how hard one tried, it was very difficult to change one's Spiritual Root after birth.
Under this premise, people would naturally be frightened by the food that had been made by Xu Que, which was able to refine one's Spiritual Root.
This was almost an act from God. It was after all something that could only be accomplished by a God!
"It is awful! This can't be real, right?"
"If it really could refine the Spiritual Root, the bigshots will buy it even if the price reaches four hundred million or even five hundred million Spiritual Stones!"
"And this ice-cream can maybe even create a Spiritual Root of a different nature. My God, how… could this be possible?"
"Is General Zhuge a God? How can he create such an incredible food?"
"If this is real, this ice cream would be able to outperform all elixirs in this world!"
"That goes without saying!"
"As far as I know, many bigshots in the Imperial City are not very gifted. Their current cultivation skills have been realized through the accumulation of numerous elixirs. If their Spiritual Roots can be refined, the Spirit Stones saved on buying elixirs in future would definitely exceed several hundred million!"
"I've also heard that some young people of rich or official families are not gifted. Their elders are worried that nobody will be able to take over their family businesses in future. Now if this marvelous food created by General Zhuge really is effective, people will fight for it no matter how high the price will be."
"It's a pity we still don't know whether or not it is effective. The threshold is too high. Supreme Membership can only be obtained by spending one hundred million Spiritual Stones!"
"I don't know whether some bigshots will try it."
…
The onlookers were talking, voices full of surprise.
But these people could only stand there and watch, for they couldn't afford a Supreme Member card. One hundred million Spirit Stones was too much for ordinary people.
However, the ordinary people had underestimated the wealth of some bigshots.
For the bigshots, one hundred million Spirit Stones was a high price, but they would still be able to afford it. Most of the time, they would only need to consider whether the price was worthwhile.
Now, the marvelous ice-cream created by Xu Que had naturally startled many bigshots.
After a while, many bigshots arrived personally with many storage rings, which would naturally be filled with Spirit Stones. It seemed that they were fully prepared.
However, these bigshots didn't spend their Spirit Stones on a Supreme Member card impulsively. They wanted to wait and see. If someone tried the ice cream and proved its effect, they would obtain the member card without any hesitation!
The purported effect of the ice-cream was too marvelous. It was very difficult for people to believe it was real. People were afraid of being cheated.
However, all these bigshots had had the same idea. No one dared to step out first. For a moment, the situation fell into a stalemate.
"General Zhuge, General Zhuge, please save my granddaughter!"
At this moment, an anxious shout came from the rear part of the crowd.
An old man of the Infant Transformation Stage elbowed his way forward to greet Xu Que excitedly.
Behind him, there was a young girl. It seemed the girl was quite shy, introverted and bashful, for she kept her head lowered.
When the onlookers saw that old man, they were terrified and couldn't help but gasp.

457 Let“s run a prize draw
Chapter 457: Let's run a prize draw
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Crikey! How on earth has this old fool managed to get here?" a man exclaimed.
"This guy once served as the Prime Minister for two terms, and helped two former Emperors govern the Water Nation!"
"Hasn't he retired already? It is said that he failed to break the limit and enter the next level. Apparently he is going to die soon."
"Why on earth hasn't he bought a burger? Just one, and he would be able to get into the next level and live a longer life."
"He is a bit different from other retired officials. For all these years, he has always been a very decent man and donated all his Spirit Stones to the poor and needy. It would be impossible for him to buy a burger that costs five hundred thousand Spirit Stones of low quality."
"Why is he here then? Does he want to save his granddaughter? We all know that she has not got the Spiritual Root and cannot practise cultivation."
"What's worse, she has been suffering a serious illness that cannot be treated. If she were able to practise cultivation, she would be able to not only enhance her body, but also recover."
"He cannot possibly become a member without paying the Spirit Stones required, you know General Zhuge is a cruel man."
"You are quite right. Also, as a businessman, he must be honest. He has said that he will only serve those with Supreme Membership, which means he cannot break his word!"
"Besides, the General Zhuge has got a nickname, the Evil Devil. He always bragged about being a man with principle but it's all just lies, he is just a greedy person."
"I am sorry but I do think you'd better go back. You cannot get in without the Supreme Membership card."
People shook their heads. They all sympathised with the old man but could do nothing about it.
After all, being a Supreme Member was not an easy thing.
"F*ck! What are you talking about?! I am still here, how dare you speak ill of me while I am still here?" shouted Xu Que angry as he suddenly stood up from his chair.
They are really audacious! They even dare to speak ill of me while I am still here! Am I a greedy person? No I am not, I am a decent man with a good heart.
Then, Xu Que began to smile.
"Everyone, since today is the opening day, let's run a prize draw and whoever wins it will get a Supreme Membership card for free! Does anyone want to have a try?"
Hearing this, everyone was surprised.
Getting a Supreme Membership card for free?! Are my ears deceiting me? The Evil Devil has changed… into a good person? Anyway, I must have a try.
"General Zhuge is really generous! I want to have a try!"
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
…
All of a sudden, everyone raised their hands and began to shout.
Xu Que smiled.
"I am glad that you are all so active about this! Five, four, three…"
"… Two, one!" everyone shouted together.
Everyone was desperate to have a try, hoping that they would be the lucky one.
However, when Xu Que finished counting the numbers, he pointed at the old man in the crowd.
"Let's congratulate this old man for getting the Supreme Membership card for free. He can now enjoy the Big Box Family Meal of the Ice Cream Hot-pot for free. Please come in!"
People at present were stunned.
Xu Que walked towards the old man, smiling.
With everyone looking at him in surprise, he led the old man and his granddaughter into the store.
Bang!
The door slammed shut.
What the f*ck! Zhuge Liang, go f*ck yourself! This is the prize draw you were talking about? You did not even run a draw! Are you playing with us?!
"Fine, I knew he wasn't really a nice man!"
"I never thought he was having us on earlier!"
"Anyway, at least that old man gets a Supreme Membership card."
"It turns out he is helping the old man!"
People shook their heads and cast their eyes into the store.
Xu Que had decorated the store in a very modern style and the wall was made of glass, so people could see what was going on inside.
The old man and his granddaughter were still shocked and had no idea what was going on.
Xu Que led them into the store and asked them to sit at a table. Then he brought out a box sealed with ice and scooped out a few colorful balls of ice cream.
Seeing this, everyone standing outside the door was confused.
"Is this ice cream?"
"It looks like it's just made of some ice crumbles!"
"That thing can nourish and refine one's Spiritual Root? No way!"
"Wait, do not forget that his granddaughter hasn't even got a Spiritual Root."
"Is it possible that she will gain a Spiritual Root after she eats that? Is that really possible?"
"That's impossible!"
"Judging from the burger as well as the coffee he has made, I think the ice cream can definitely help one nourish and refine their Spiritual Root… but it would be impossible to create one for someone who was not born with it."
"I agree with you."
"He is just putting a show."
"Let's focus on the old man instead. Although he is not very gifted, he might make a breakthrough once his Spiritual Root is nourished and refined."
…
If it hadn't been for the effects of the burger and the coffee, they would never have believed that ice cream would be able to nourish and refine one's Spiritual Root.
Meanwhile, inside the store, Xu Que had laid an ice cream hotpot in front of the old man and his granddaughter.
Seeing the pot, the old man and his granddaughter were stunned.
The old man was particularly shocked, as he had only meant to try and see if General Zhuge would show him some pity. But he had never thought that he would actually win a Supreme Membership card without even participating in a draw.
He was even more surprised that he had been brought into the store by Xu Que himself, and that this pot was now in front of him…
Xu Que was being very gentle and warm-hearted.
Is he really the same Evil Devil who likes to loot people's houses and kill people without blinking an eye? No way, I must be mistaken.
"Don't be nervous, just pretend you are at your own home. Please have a taste. You two are the first to even enter store. Eat as much as you can, I can give you more if this is not enough, and it's all free."
Since the old man had been a high-ranking official before, Xu Que thought that helping him would not count as a loss.
Hearing this, the old man and his granddaughter showed their gratitude immediately.
"Thank you so much, General Zhuge!"
"I own you a debt, regardless of whether my granddaughter gains a Spiritual Root or not."
Xu Que waved his hand. "Do not be like this. Since you have been chosen as the lucky winners, you can eat as much as you can. Hey, young girl, let me get a scoop for you."
He then scooped a bit ice cream out, and prepared to feed her.
The young girl flushed. "Thank you! Brother Zhuge, I can do it myself."
… I am not Brother Pig, I am a handsome man!
The young girl opened her small mouth and carefully ate the ice cream. The next minute, a ray of light appeared inside her mouth.

458 Now the Price is Raised!
Chapter 458: Now the Price is Raised!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chi!
The light became shiny and sparkly. Everyone's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden radiance.
"Little Bing, what's wrong?" The old man was also shocked and asked anxiously.
The young girl closed her mouth instinctively. The next moment, the ice cream, which had been simmering, melted suddenly. It released an icy coldness into her mouth.
In an instant, she simultaneously felt both hot and cold sensations in her mouth. The unique and fine taste of the ice cream made her feel comfortable and at ease.
The young girl closed her eyes slowly to enjoy the delicacy in her mouth carefully. The hotness and coldness flowed into her body slowly through her throat.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a silent boom abruptly sounded in her brain.
The young girl was surprised slightly, so she opened her eyes suddenly. Her tranquility had been restored, but she was extremely comfortable and it seemed that her body was full of energy.
"Grandpa, I…" Looking at the old man beside her, she was about to tell what had happened just now. However, she found her grandpa was looking at her in great surprise with his eyes open wide.
The young girl was shocked again, so she asked in a hurry, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
The old man didn't reply to her. Instead, he grabbed the shoulders of the young girl. With shaky hands and watery eyes, he said excitedly, "Little Bing, your… your sickness has finally been cured!"
Poof!
Xu Que, who had been drinking water, couldn't help but spit out the water after hearing the old man's words.
Damn! This touching atmosphere has been totally ruined by the words of the old man!
However, the old man was overjoyed. His heart was filled with shock and disbelief!
The young girl's body had experienced a great change after eating only a spoonful of ice cream. When she opened her eyes again, everyone except for the girl herself could see clearly that a lump of purple light was shining between her eyebrows.
This was the symbol of a Spiritual Root. Moreover, this was not an ordinary Spiritual Root. It was definitely the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root!
…
Outside the store, the onlookers who were watching this scene through the glass windows were totally stunned.
"I am definitely dreaming now!" someone murmured.
"I also feel like I am dreaming now!"
"It's amazing!"
"The ice cream helped that girl to generate a Water Spiritual Root!"
"Please, look carefully! That's not a normal Water Spiritual Root! Look at that purple light. That's the symbol of a Celestial Spiritual Root. It is a genuine Heavenly Water Spiritual Root!"
"Something big will happen!"
"It will absolutely shock the world!"
"It is totally earth-shattering!"
All onlookers couldn't stay calm anymore and kept exclaiming.
Finally, those bigshots came to their senses. They had prepared to obtain Supreme Member cards after checking the ice cream's effects, and after being dumbfounded for a little while, now understood what they had to do.
Soon, they started to anxiously elbow their way to the door of the store, shouting, "General Zhuge, please open the door. We are here to obtain the Supreme Member cards!"
"General Zhuge, we have taken the Spirit Stones with us, now they are yours!"
"Sh*t! Chang, don't jump the queue, I got here first!"
"Bullshit! I didn't jump the line! Liu, I can hold back to give you more opportunities in business. But here, don't even think about it!"
Several bigshots were making quite a racket at the gate. They even started to push and pull at each other.
The onlookers were shocked by this scene.
These are high and mighty figures! Why don't they care about their image and their reputation?
…
At the same time, the old man was holding Xu Que's hands excitedly and kept thanking him incoherently.
After all, by giving the girl a Spiritual Root, Xu Que had created a miracle akin to an act of God! Moreover, the Spiritual Root he had generated was a Heavenly Water Spiritual Root. Anyone who received this treatment would cry of joy.
"Sir, don't be so excited. If you take a bite, I am guessing you will be even more excited! Please, open your mouth and try it," Xu Que said with a smile. He took a spoonful of ice cream to the old man.
The old man was shocked a bit, then he took the spoon hurriedly and said with a smile, "Thank you so much for your help, General Zhuge!"
After that, he put the ice cream into his mouth.
The next moment, light also began to radiate from his mouth.
The old man became energetic immediately. The white hair of his sideburns became darker.
After that, the light faded and no Spiritual Root appeared again.
After all, there had only been a small chance for a new Spiritual Root to be created, it couldn't happen every time. The old man's granddaughter was very lucky to have so coincidentally obtained the Spiritual Root.
Even so, the onlookers could clearly sense the change in momentum of the old man. He was very vibrant for his Spiritual Root had been refined.
"It is really marvelous! I can just sense the opportunity to make a breakthrough! It seems I don't need to wait a long time before getting to the next level," exclaimed the old man.
Looking at the effects, the onlookers were very envious.
The bigshots who were quarreling at the gate grew even more excited and couldn't wait to obtain member cards.
If they could enjoy this marvelous effect as well, they would definitely be able to attain better achievements in cultivation in future, which could even increase their lifespans remarkably.
Xu Que walked to the gate smilingly and shouted to the bigshots, "That's enough, stop arguing. It's late now, come get your member cards tomorrow! Remember, only twenty people can get the card, and now there are only nineteen left. First come, first served!"
Hearing that, those bigshots descended into chaos.
"Don't do that, General Zhuge! It's still early now. Just let us obtain the card first!"
"Right! More people will come tomorrow; we might not be lucky enough to be in the top nineteen."
"For the sake of our early appearance, please let us obtain member cards!"
The bigshots were smiling unctuously. In front of Xu Que, all of them had gotten off their high horses.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and laughed coldly. "Then why didn't you obtain your cards earlier? You have been acting as onlookers for a long a time after arriving, yet now you want to obtain the cards. It's too late. I am tired now and I am going to close the store!"
"No, General Zhuge, we were wrong!"
"Exactly! It is we who should be blamed. Please be magnanimous and let us obtain the cards."
"We have brought the Spirit Stones with us!"
The bigshots started to implore him hurriedly.
At this moment, all of them had gotten off their high horses. In front of such a great potential fortune, no one could afford to be arrogant.
After hearing of the Spirit Stones, Xu Que smiled speculatively and asked, "You have brought the Spirit Stones, right? How many Spirit Stones have you brought?"
"One hundred and fifty million," one of the big shots answered confidently.
Without any hesitation, Xu Que said, "That's not enough!"
"What?" the big shots were completely shocked.
Isn't the price for a Supreme Member Card one hundred million Spirit Stones? How can it not be enough?
"The price has been raised. You need two hundred million Spirit Stones to get a Supreme Member Card! Now you can go!"
After finishing his words, Xu Que turned around and left, showing his back to them.
Those bigshots were totally dumbfounded.
Two… two hundred million?
You bastard, Zhuge Liang!
We have been waiting here for ages!
And how dare you raise the price… by doubling the damn thing?

459 You Are Absolutely Right to Raise the Price
Chapter 459: You Are Absolutely Right to Raise the Price
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The viewers were speechless.
They knew what Xu Que's personality was like. He always did things according to his own will.
As he so desired, he could even price the ice cream at two hundred million Spirit Stones, not caring if this price was too high, as he already knew there would be someone who would still be willing to offer him money.
Still, the people were worried that if they did not buy it today, the price would go up to four or even five hundred million Spirit Stones tomorrow.
No one could really guess what Xu Que's attitude would be like from one moment to the next.
Although those influential figures were so angry that they were on the verge of passing out, they still did not dare to express their anger in front of him.
After all, if they did, their houses might be looted. They might even be forbidden from buying anything from his stores anymore.
For them, two hundred million Spirit Stones was not that much if their Spiritual Roots could be refined, or even changed for a better one.
Soon, the people calmed down. "Please wait! Fine, we would like to pay two hundred million Spirit Stones."
"Yes! Two hundred million Spirit Stones is totally fine."
"You are absolutely right to raise up the price."
"Yes! Well done to you!"
Some people even began to flatter Xu Que, whilst others felt disgusted by their behaviour.
However, these people did not care about losing face, as in their eyes, the Spiritual Root was the most important thing.
In the crowd, there were two people on the verge of tears.
They had only brought one hundred million Spirit Stones, and had now sent their servants to go back home to fetch some more. While they were waiting, they had even borrowed some from the people standing next to them.
After all, the effect the ice cream brought was really amazing. It could not only nourish and refine one's Spiritual Roots, but if one was lucky, they could even gain a new Spiritual Root.
Besides, Xu Que had said that there were only twenty Supreme Membership cards in total. So they felt that two hundred million Spirit Stones was totally worth it.
"Oh, is two hundred million Spirit Stones really fine?" Xu Que smiled.
Hearing this, they kept nodding.
"What if I raise it up to three hundred million Spirit Stones?"
Three hundred million Spirit Stones? Even if I agree, I have not got that many stones with me…
"Fine! I won't break my word and I shall not raise up the price. Two hundred million Spirit Stones will do."
Hearing this, they almost passed out.
Don't be ridiculous! You are not the type of person who would stick to his promises. Earlier, you said that we could become a member with only a hundred million Spirit Stones, and then you raised it to two hundred million Spirit Stones. You are indeed shameless.
Still, they forced out smiles. "Yes, you are right. You are someone who would always stick to his words."
"General Zhuge, you are the one I admire most in my life."
…
Hearing this, Xu Que felt very happy.
How shameless they are! Well, typical businessmen.
"Come inside then!"
Xu Que opened the door and let them in.
The old man and his granddaughter were still enjoying their ice cream, since it was really delicious.
After they came in, they stared at the ice cream as if their eyes had been stitched to it.
Soon, they all paid two hundred million Spirit Stones and received a Supreme Membership card, as well as a Häagen-Dazs of Exploding Heavens Faction Ice Cream Hotpot.
But, after they received the ice cream, they felt a bit upset. Each of them had only received one scoop of ice cream, which was much less than the amount the old man had gotten.
However, they did not dare complain. After all, the old man had been given the Big Box Family Meal.
But they still felt rather upset, since each of them had paid two hundred million Spirit Stones each and had only received one scoop of ice cream each, whereas the old man had received a whole box for free.
"General Zhuge, can we buy more ice cream? I would like to let my family taste it."
Xu Que frowned. "No, I have not even started to sell the ice cream yet. After I have sold out all twenty membership cards, I will begin to sell the ice cream for a limited amount."
Hearing this, they had no choice but to give up.
…
That night, the news about the old man and his granddaughter spread all over the city.
Everyone now knew that the Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream could not only nourish and refine one's Spiritual Roots, but also help them obtain a new one, and one could get a scoop of ice cream after paying two hundred million Spirit Stones to become a Supreme Member.
People got so excited that they stayed awake all night.
All the influential families tried every possible way they could to get two hundred million Spirit Stones. Some even prepared three hundred million Spirit Stones in total, since they were afraid that Xu Que might raise the price again.
It was completely dark, but the people from the influential families had already gathered in front of Xu Que's store to stand in line, waiting for the door to open.
But when they arrived, they were shocked to find that there were already more than thirty people standing in line in front of them.
There was also a billboard hanging outside, with a few words written on it: 'Only twenty cards available.'
Even so, they did not give up and hoped that Xu Que might change his mind and increase the amount of cards available. They believed that Xu Que would not be able to resist the temptation of two hundred million Spirit Stones.
Meanwhile, Xu Que was walking on the street, trying to buy some more stores.
…
The next morning, a bizarre sight appeared.
In the center of the market of the Imperial City, for the very first time ever, no one could be seen.
In the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, a few influential men from the business world gathered together.
"I have underestimated that young man."
"His food can even enhance one's Spiritual Roots and might even help someone get a new one."
"It seems that he can easily collect two billion Spirit Stones."
"You are right. I think the most important thing for us is to figure out how can we get a Supreme Membership card," a old man said rather seriously.
Hearing this, the rest were shocked.
"You haven't sent people to buy a membership for yourself?"
"What? You did?" the old man was stunned.
"Of course I have!"
"I did too."
"And I."
"F*ck! Why didn't you guys tell me about this?"
Then, he dashed out.
The rest of them stared at each other and forced out smiles.
"Actually, we have gathered together today to talk about the street where that young man's stores are located."
"In the past, it was a very desolate place. But with that young man's stores, the price of all the stores in the street have soared up. I think we can buy the whole street."
"I agree."
"Good idea!"
"We have to make move now. I think someone else has probably already made some moves."
"Let's send someone to do this right now!"

460 Wanda Mall of the Exploding Heavens Faction
Chapter 460: Wanda Mall of the Exploding Heavens Faction
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The tightly closed door of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce opened suddenly. Several men dressed like merchants walked out hurriedly and headed for the outskirts of the market from different directions.
After half an hour, those people returned. Looking at each other in consternation, these pale-faced people stepped into the Chamber of Commerce immediately without speaking.
In the meeting hall, several bigshots didn't leave, and continued chatting and drinking tea in their seats.
Suddenly, several people came up and whispered to them.
The next moment, all the big shots were totally shocked and dumbfounded.
They did not only overreact—they completely freaked out.
"Are you sure you asked all stores?" the big shots asked those people.
"Yes." Those men nodded simultaneously.
"You mean all stores in that street have been purchased by that guy?"
"Yes!"
"Are you sure the entire street was purchased?"
"Yes!"
…
The big shots fell silent again.
Their faces were full of terror.
This guy is really an opportunist! And he is also quite bold to purchase all the stores in a street!
"He is really a tough guy! And his actions are quite decisive!"
"Right! There are several hundred stores in that street. He is really very brave to purchase them all!"
"It seems we have underestimated him again. From the very beginning, he was planning this land acquisition for a long time, and hadn't just been concerned with business!"
"Moreover, his actions resemble a coup, and cheat everyone!"
"I have to admit this guy is really an unprecedented wizard who is adept with both the pen and the sword!"
"That's enough! Stop praising him! Now my heart is bleeding. The entire street has been devoured by that guy! That's a profit of over ten billion Spirit Stones!"
"Eh, it is said that previously the average price of the stores in that street was around two to three million Spirit Stones. However, I am afraid the current price will be over one hundred million for each store!"
"What's more, once that street is developed into the center of the market area, the price for one store will at least reach five hundred to six hundred million Spirit Stones!"
"Alas!"
"Alas!"
"Alas!"
The big shots couldn't help but sigh.
At last, one of the big shots sighed wryly. Pulling the front of his robe, he exclaimed, "This is really annoying!"
…
At the same time, in the Imperial Palace, the Water Empress was so impressed that she could barely stay in her seat.
"He is able to refine one's Spiritual Root and even create a new Spiritual Root! How many incredible things are contained in the head of this little chap?"
She was so amazed. She had never expected Xu Que to make marvelous foods like these!
Even an eight-star alchemist from overseas wouldn't be able to succeed like this!
The maidservant beside her said, "Your Majesty, this way, General Zhuge can earn billions of Spirit Stones from those Supreme Members, and he can easily pay off the remaining balance to the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce."
"Right! That will be fine." the Water Empress nodded her head with a faint smile.
Actually, she also worried that her help would make trouble for Xu Que, who would suffer from Karmic Retribution at last.
Now the difficulties had been solved by Xu Que himself, which reassured her a lot.
However, thinking of the stinky tofu and the roasted chicken wings that had been prepared by Xu Que previously, the Water Empress was now itching for a chance to try Xu Que's new delicacies.
She had tried the burger, which was very delicious, and she had even made a breakthrough to the next cultivation level. However, this made her even more curious about the tastes of the french fries, the cappuccino, the vanilla latte and the Haagen-Dazs ice cream.
"I kind of want a try," the Water Empress murmured to herself with a faint smile.
…
On the same day, Xu Que was still very busy.
After issuing the member cards to the twenty Supreme Members of the Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream store, Xu Que earned a large sum of Spirit Stones.
In recent days, he had already earned over five billion Spirit Stones.
However, he spent over one billion purchasing all the stores in the street. Now he had over four billion left. After deducting the balance he owed to the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, he still had two billion at his disposal.
"I can't stop halfway! And I should keep my word about building a commercial city." After thinking for a minute, Xu Que decided to continue with his original plan.
After checking several stores, he started to perform large-scale renovations.
Within a day, he had opened several McDonald's and KFCs in the street. Meanwhile, he had also attracted investments by leasing stores to the merchants of magical artifacts and elixirs. In this way, he could share in the profits while doing nothing.
Those store owners who had sold their stores to Xu Que for a very low price were very regretful now.
Especially the owner of the magical artifact store, which had been turned into the first McDonald's branch. He kept thumping his chest and stamping his feet everyday at home. He was so regretful that he told everyone that he had refused Xu Que's proposal of cooperating and sharing profits together!
'A first-class idiot' was the only comment people made about him.
…
In the evening, after finishing the renovations, Xu Que led the troops of the Snow City eagerly to the street. Then he personally hung up a giant plaque.
The plaque glittered with several giant words, which read 'Wanda Mall of the Exploding Heavens Faction'.
The street was crowded with onlookers who were totally shocked by the sight.
Wanda Mall of the Exploding Heavens Faction?
Is he going to occupy the whole street?
It's only been a few days!
He has become the owner of the entire street!
"Ahem! Hi, everyone!"
At this moment, Xu Que cleared his throat and took out a loudspeaker. Then he jumped onto the plaque and prepared to give a speech.
"First, please allow me to show my gratitude to your support during this period! As everyone knows, I, Wang Sicong… ahem, I, Zhuge Liang, am a caring and virtuous merchant. I am a conscientious entrepreneur! Therefore, in the following days, McDonald's and KFC will launch high-quality ice creams at low prices, so that my friends who hadn't been able to obtain Supreme Memberships can also enjoy the delicious ice cream! Of course, this kind of ice cream is not as magical as the original Haagen-Dazs type. However, this ice cream is also effective!"
He paused. "What? A friend over there just asked what the effect of the ice cream provided by McDonald's and KFC will be. That's a pretty good question! I can tell you that the ice creams provided by McDonald's and KFC are made of pure natural materials without any additives or effects! Yeah, you heard that right. They don't have any effect!"
"Ah?"
All the onlookers were totally confused!
Hearing that Xu Que was about to introduce high quality ice creams at low prices, all the onlookers had been so excited.
However, before they had been able to get too excited, they had then heard that the ice cream would have no effect at all!
It doesn't have any effect, right? Shit! Why are you so happy? Are you kidding us?
"However…" at this moment, Xu Que changed the subject suddenly.
Everyone got a shine in their eyes. Did he say 'however'?
It's okay. It seems we will be pleasantly surprised by this 'however'.
"However, besides the ice creams, McDonald's and KFC will also introduce several upgrade products, which have all kinds of magical effects! The prices are moderate, and will be affordable to ordinary people! Details will be introduced during tomorrow's product launch!"
After saying that, Xu Que jumped up and disappeared into the horizon, turning himself into a dark shadow.
Countless onlookers were standing completely confused in the street.
Upgrade products?
A product launch?
Holy shit, Zhuge Liang. Can't you tell us all the details at once? Why do you need a fucking product launch?

461 Long live General Zhuge
Chapter 461: Long live General Zhuge
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Product launch?
Although this phrase sounded a bit strange to the people in the Cultivation World, the people could still understand it. Besides, Xu Que had given a few details—the product launch would be the introduction of his new products.
In fact, people felt there was no need to conduct one, since throughout the entire Imperial City, only Xu Que could make such miraculous products. Whether Xu Que hold a product launch or not, people would know what he was going to sell.
What they did not know was that Xu Que was doing this to act tough!
For Xu Que, acting tough was a great thing. He needed to act tough all the time—whether he was sleeping, or flirting with girls, or making time, he would act tough.
Making money while successfully acting tough was indeed a marvelous thing to do.
The next morning, after Xu Que woke up, he donned a pair of jeans, a black sweater with a high collar and a pair of glasses with golden rims. Then, he made his way to the product launch.
If this were like similar media events on earth, people would recognise that the clothes he was wearing resembled those that Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, had worn on the day of his product presentation.
In the Cultivation World, however, his outfit was considered very bizarre and attracted people's attention.
On his way to the product launch, he acted tough by wearing this outfit. His acting tough points consequently increased.
When he arrived at McDonald's, there was already a huge number of people waiting for him. Then, he quickly moved to the center of a stage that had been built already.
All of a sudden, everyone stopped talking.
People were surprised by Xu Que's bizarre outfit and stared at him in shock.
Xu Que smiled and began to wave to his audience.
"Good morning everyone! Welcome to the press conference and product launch for McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken, also known as KFC. I am Steve Jobs of the Exploding Heavens Faction."
Hearing this, everyone was confused.
Jobs? Has he changed his name again? How many names does he have in total?
The three thousand soldiers of Snow City and Buttface were all present. They all wanted to taste the delicious new product.
To stop Xu Que talking sh*t like this for any longer, Buttface clapped his paws enthusiastically and yelled, "Well said!"
"Well said! General Zhuge!"
All the soldiers began to applaud. All of a sudden, the atmosphere warmed up.
Xu Que bought a projector from the System and activated it with the power of Spirit Stones.
A ray of light fell against the wall behind the stage.
All of a sudden, people stopped applauding and started to stare at the light.
"The first product I am going to introduce is the 'McFlurry'."
The next minute, two pictures of a McFlurry Ice Cream appeared on the wall.
Seeing this, Buttface shouted and jumped towards to the wall. While he was flying towards it, saliva dripped to the ground.
Bang!
Buttface bumped into the wall, and the wall collapsed. He was covered by the bricks…
Everyone sneered.
What a stupid dog! Clearly, it is just picture…
"No worries, we have got another wall."
Xu Que smiled, changing the direction of the projector.
"The McFlurry has two flavours, strawberry and Oreo. You may be asking, does it taste good? Well, as you have seen, a dog has started salivating for it after only seeing the picture. I can assure you that it tastes very good."
Xu Que smiled. "Okay, next, I am going to introduce to you the effect the McFlurry will have. In the early stages, the McFlurry can clean your muscles. Remember you can only eat one once a day for seven days in total for a round of treatment, and there are ten rounds in total. Your Spiritual Roots will be cleansed. After ten rounds of treatment, your Spiritual Roots will be nourished and refined!"
Hearing this, people were very excited.
How wonderful is this! The McFlurry has the same effect as the Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream.
"Long live General Zhuge!"
People applauded and exclaimed.
"We should let everyone in the world know about this product, so we can all enjoy its benefit." Xu Que smiled. "Now I would like to introduce its price."
Hearing this, people stopped applauding.
Currently, without a membership card, people could also buy Xu Que's products. Still, if Xu Que set a very high price, not everyone would be able to really afford it.
"So, how much will this be? Let's look at the wall," Xu Que said while operating the projector.
Soon, a few words appeared on the wall.
"Ten thousand Spirit Stones."
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
Only ten thousand Spirit Stones? Seriously? One only needs to spend seven hundred thousand and he could enjoy the ten courses of treatment?! This is unbelievable!
Is he joking? He is such a greedy businessman, can it be possible that he has now become a decent man? Ten thousand Spirit Stones is like giving us a McFlurry Ice Cream for free…
In fact, people had expected the price to be a million Spirit Stones. or at least several hundred thousand Spirit Stones. They had never thought a McFlurry could be this cheap.
"I have said before that I am a decent man and my company is one that values integrity. Since I have decided that my products should target common folk, it is only reasonable that I sell my product at a reasonable price. I hope everyone in the Water Nation can enhance their Spiritual Roots while enjoying this delicious ice cream. A country can only be prosperous while its young citizens are powerful!" Xu Que said rather seriously.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
A country can only be prosperous while its young citizens are powerful!
I see, I see! What General Zhuge wants is the prosperity of our country, and the happiness of all of us!
He is not a greedy person, I have misunderstood him!
He is a great man who only thinks about his country and his fellows.
"Long live General Zhuge!"
"Long live General Zhuge!"
…
Everyone was deeply moved and crying, while yelling 'Long live General Zhuge!'.
…
In the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, the few influential figures almost passed out when they heard what was going on in Wanda Plaza.
"This young man is as sneaky as a fox! He has set a low price simply to draw more customers to the Wanda Plaza, and to make that place the new 'central market'! If everything goes as he has planned, the price of the stores on that street... will be extremely high!"

462 As an Honest Man, Could I Lie to You?
Chapter 462: As an Honest Man, Could I Lie to You?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The atmosphere of the product launch began to buzz continuously.
After launching the McFlurry, Xu Que introduced the Ice Cream Sundae of KFC. This product included the Strawberry Sundae and Chocolate Sundae, which could be used to strengthen the physique of the cultivator.
The weaker cultivators were greatly shocked again.
Everyone was dumbfounded by this enormously pleasant surprise.
For a long time, the cultivators of the Five Nations had focused on the cultivation of magic arts and the soul. However, they had had no time to attend to the cultivation of one's physique. Moreover, many physical cultivation arts had vanished or failed to pass down to new generations over the long course of history.
Therefore, the cultivators who wanted to strengthen their physique and become physique experts would always be frustrated.
But now the Ice Cream Sundae introduced by Xu Que could be used to strengthen one's physique, which was absolutely good news for the cultivators.
In addition, the price stipulated by Xu Que was also very low—one Ice Cream Sundae could be bought with only ten thousand Spirit Stones.
The place seethed with enthusiasm. Everyone was cheering and shouting "General Zhuge is awesome!" or "General Zhuge is a good man!"
Within a day, Xu Que had successfully made his reputation squeaky clean. More and more people in the Imperial City were choosing to support him.
On the same day, the newly-opened McDonald's and KFCs of Xu Que were packed with consumers. Half the population of the Imperial City came to his stores. The entire street was full of people, and it was several times more crowded than the market center when it was at its busiest.
Of course, the magical artifact stores and elixirs stores along Xu Que's street were also brought into the focus of the people who were queuing up. More and more people went shopping in those stores, and their profits were also skyrocketing.
As one of the shareholders of these stores, Xu Que also earned a large sum of Spirit Stones from his shares.
Now, the entire Wanda Mall of the Exploding Heavens Faction had come into shape.
With the accumulation of the gross profits, Xu Que had already earned over eight billion Spirit Stones. Now he was even wealthier than he had been before the auction. Moreover, he also owned land properties along an entire street. According to an evaluation that was performed, the value of his real estate was at least one hundred billion Spirit Stones!
However, the price of stores in the market center kept reducing. Many chambers of commerce had been seriously impacted and were suffering great losses, including the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce.
But these chambers of commerce could do nothing but watch the losses accumulate helplessly; for they didn't have anything to compete with against Xu Que.
At last, Xu Que sent people to pay off his remaining balance of 2.6 billion Spirit Stones. However, the people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce were not happy at all. After giving the auction items back to Xu Que gloomily, they closed the door right up and stopped receiving visitors.
However, even though his business was extremely prosperous, Xu Que started to feel bored.
He switched on the Automatic Hosting Function of the System, which would prepare materials for several batches of burgers, ice creams and coffees. Then he asked the soldiers of the Snow City to prepare the food and handle the business.
But consumers were so enthusiastic that the supply shortage was becoming more and more serious.
People were crowding outside the McDonald's branch.
A soldier of the Snow City said woefully, "Please go back! Today's ice creams have been sold out!"
"No, it is barely noon. Why did you sell out all your ice creams? Do you still have burgers?" people asked, unwilling to leave.
"The burgers have also sold out!"
"What about french fries?"
"We sold out our french fries yesterday!"
"Damn! What should we do now? It seems we can only come back tomorrow!"
"You might not get any supplies tomorrow, for General Zhuge has said that he has recently been preparing for the Heavenly Tribulation."
"What? Is General Zhuge going to take the Heavenly Tribulation? It's over! He has committed so many immoral acts! If God strikes him to death with thunder, no one will supply ice creams and burgers to us in future!"
"Let's start to pray for him tomorrow, and beg God to forgive General Zhuge!"
"Exactly! We should do that!"
…
After discovering that Xu Que was going to take the Heavenly Tribulation, people were afraid that he would be killed by the Thunder Tribulation—so they instantly decided to pray for Xu Que.
Hearing that, Xu Que was so angry that he even wanted to start a fight with those people. Finally, the soldiers of the Snow City managed to stop him through earnest persuasion.
"Now, you know how vicious these people are! I have lowered the price and surrendered some profits to them. But I have been repaid with their curses. This is totally inhumane and illegal, right?"
"Yeah! What General Zhuge said was right! Their behavior is inhumane and illegal!"
"Please tell me honestly that I am a good person, will you? Okay, your silence is deemed as tacit consent. Where else can you find a good person like me? Alas!" Xu Que exclaimed, complaining that public morality was not what it used to be. Meanwhile, he was also preparing for the upcoming Heavenly Tribulation.
In fact, he didn't take the Heavenly Tribulation very seriously.
After acting massively tough during his previous 49 Heavenly Tribulations, he had discovered that his vitality was quite tenacious.
Moreover, he had accumulated fifty thousand Acting Tough Points. If the Heavenly Tribulation was too dangerous, he could just spend Acting Tough Points and purchase some powerful magical artifacts from the System as protection. He would survive the tribulation anyway.
…
The next day, Xu Que went to his McDonald's leisurely. He was greedy and wanted to have a McFlurry.
However, the store was in short supply, and the entrance of McDonald's had already been tightly packed with people. At the first sight of Xu Que, people rushed up and surrounded him immediately.
"General Zhuge, finally you've arrived!"
"Do you still have McFlurries?"
"Please supply more McFlurries. I have been queuing up for two days, but I have received nothing."
"I have been waiting here for three days!"
Many people were complaining bitterly.
In recent days, Xu Que had used half of his Soul Strength in the Automatic Hosting Function of the System to prepare food ingredients. He had even used the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders to prepare food. In this way, he had managed to make enough food to satisfy the demands of most people.
However, now half the population of the Imperial City was coming to his stores every day. Even if Xu Que had ten more bodies, he wouldn't be able to prepare enough food for so many people.
"No, no, we have sold out all our supplies for today. Please come here tomorrow," Xu Que shouted as he elbowed his way to the McDonald's.
Someone continued to shout, "General Zhuge, since you are here, how about making more McFlurries for us?"
"You misunderstood what I said. I really want to make more food, however, we have run out of ingredients," Xu Que said sadly.
Those people were dubious. "Is that for real?"
"What the hell? Don't you believe in my morals? Since I started this business, credibility has always been of the highest priority in my store. I tried to increase the credibility of my store by selling the McFlurries at such a low price. Today we have really sold out everything. I will not lie to you. Please go back," Xu Que said, patting his chest.
Hearing that, those people could do nothing but give way to Xu Que.
Just at this moment, a commotion at the back of the crowd was heard.
The next moment, a sharp shout was heard.
"Here comes the Princess Zi Xuan!"
Wow!
All at once, all the people in this area were in an uproar.
The Princess Zi Xuan has come here personally!
The distinguished princess has come to the Wanda Mall of the Exploding Heavens Faction personally! It seems the delicacies prepared by General Zhuge are tempting for everyone!
Soon, people stepped back to make way. Accompanied by several maidservants and eunuchs, Zi Xuan came up leisurely with a smile.
"Xu Que, I want to have a McFlurry!"
Before approaching Xu Que, Zi Xuan stated her purpose in coming.
Swish!
Immediately people tossed their speculative eyes to Xu Que.
The princess is here and has ordered the McFlurry. Will you still tell her you have sold out everything?
However, Xu Que's reply was still unchanged.
Shrugging his shoulders, he said ruefully, "I am sorry, Your Highness. You are too late. We have sold out of the McFlurries. Please come earlier tomorrow!"
…
Hearing his words, Zi Xuan was stunned and stopped walking.
"Xu Que, don't lie to me. There must be more," She said embarrassedly; evidently she hadn't expected Xu Que to blow her off.
Before coming here, she had bought off Buttface, who had told her that Xu Que could make a McFlurry in the blink of an eye.
"I really have nothing left. As an honest man, could I lie to you?" Xu Que said, shaking his head again.
Seeing his response, everyone was convinced.
He has even rejected the Princess. It seems he has really run out of supplies.
Zi Xuan was too enraged to say anything. Although she knew Xu Que could make a McFlurry easily, she could do nothing to change his mind.
Stomping her little feet, she turned around and shouted angrily, "Sister, see that? He is bullying me!"
Sister?
Instantly the world fell silent. Everyone was stunned, including Xu Que.
Isn't the sister of Princess Zi Xuan… the Water Empress?
Holy shit! Even the Water Empress is here!
People instantly turned around to see what was happening.
As expected, a figure was approaching slowly from the rear of the crowd.
She was walking softly. With a faint smile on her face, she was very graceful and elegant. Only the Water Empress could be so noble and peaceful.
The next moment, everyone was deeply surprised. Even Her Royal Highness the Water Empress has left the Palace and come here personally!
It's a pity! Her Royal Highness the Water Empress seldom leaves the Palace. But this time General Zhuge has run out of supplies.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Xu Que waved his hand and shouted, "Someone bring me my fabulous McFlurry Sundae with multilayer strawberries and chocolate cake!"

463 A man and a woman in one room
Chapter 463: A man and a woman in one room
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
All of a sudden, everyone stopped talking and looked at Xu Que emotionlessly.
Didn't you just say that all the products have been sold out?
You even swore that nothing was left.
A Fabulous McFlurry Sundae with Multilayer Strawberries and Chocolate Cake?!
You even made a name for that?! You are indeed shameless!
As for the Princess Zi Xuan, she had thought she already knew what sort of person Xu Que was, but this time, she gained a deeper understanding of his shameless character.
"General…we don't have the item you just mentioned in our store," whispered a soldier, hurriedly walking to Xu Que.
"Nonsense! Fine, I will bring it out personally. You go and entertain our distinguished guest!"
Then Xu Que rolled up his sleeve and went inside.
Seeing this, the Water Empress was surprised.
Earlier, the Water Empress had come here with Zi Xuan. But when she had been about to leave after hearing that the food had all been sold out, Zi Xuan had suddenly walked forward. Thus, she had had no choice but to show herself.
Still, she had never thought that Xu Que's tone could change so completely in such a short time.
The Water Empress smiled and walked into the store with Zi Xuan.
…
"Get out of my way. Your distinguished Water Empress, here is the Fabulous McFlurry Sundae with Multilayer Strawberries and Chocolate Cake."
Hearing this, the Water Empress, Zi Xuan and everyone else at present turned around. The next minute, they were completely stunned by what they saw.
Xu Que was carrying an ice cream that was even wider than his shoulders, and walking carefully out from the kitchen.
The ice cream was bigger even than Xu Que's upper body. It was very delicately decorated with various kinds of flowers made of ice cream. The chocolate and strawberry jam upon it looked very stylish.
Xu Que put the ice cream on the table.
Seeing this, Zi Xuan was so surprised that her mouth fell open.
The audience felt the same.
This ice cream is incredibly big, I cannot possibly imagine how much raw material has been used! No matter what, the amount of material used for this was definitely tantamount to that of hundreds of smaller McFlurries. But… he'd said he had used up all his raw materials?!
"Come on! Young lady, have a taste." Xu Que looked at the Water Empress.
Hearing this, people were so frightened that they almost passed out.
He called her what?! Young lady?! Is he insane?
To everyone's surprise, the Water Empress was not angry.
She smiled. "This is too much."
"Not at all, not at all. You can eat as much as you like. I have plenty of it in the kitchen." Xu Que laughed.
The rest of the people were very angry when they heard this.
"General Zhuge, you just said everything has been sold out…"
"Yes, everything has been sold out." Xu Que turned around.
The people at present were stunned.
Are you blind?! Or I am the one who is blind! How can you be so shameless!
"Since our honourable Water has Ultimate Membership in my store, she is even more important than those with Supreme Membership. There will always be a special McFlurry prepared for her," Xu Que explained, smiling.
No one was convinced by his words.
Ultimate Membership? I have not even heard of this. You just made it up, didn't you?!
Realising this, Xu Que's face became rather serious all of a sudden.
"You do not believe me? Fine! But our honourable Water Empress has been taking care of our country all this time, you cannot imagine how much she has suffered. You guys want to quarrel with me over this cake? Don't you feel sorry for yourselves at all?"
Hearing this, no one said anything in reply.
"Little chap, I really cannot eat the whole cake. I suggest we give some to the rest of the people," the Water Empress whispered gently, delivering this message to Xu Que.
Xu Que shook his head and replied, "If you cannot eat the whole cake, you can take the rest of it back to the palace. There is plenty of Häagen-Dazs raw material inside the cake. It cannot only nourish and refine your Spiritual Roots, but can also help you gain a new one."
"As far as I am concerned, only one bite will do, right? You prepared such a big meal for me, I am afraid it will be wasted…"
"Young lady, this cake is different, it won't work unless you eat all of it."
"Really?" the Water Empress smiled and looked at Xu Que in a rather strange way.
Xu Que was afraid that the Water Empress might have guessed that he was lying, then he nodded. "Yes! Even pearls can't be as true as my words."
The Water Empress smiled and put the whole cake into her storage ring.
"Great. I hope you will enjoy it when you get back to the palace. As for them, I will just make some normal McFlurries, they won't mind."
The Water Empress slowly stood up. "Little chap, come to the palace and see me later, I have something for you."
"Ha, I can go back with you right now."
Xu Que felt very happy.
Then he shouted to the people outside the store, "Get out the way, our Honourable Water Empress is going to go back to the palace. Buttface, get out of the way! Wait! How dare you pee near the threshold? Soldiers, take him away and teach him a lesson! By the way, please be patient, we are going to make some McFlurries soon, it won't take very long."
Hearing this, everyone got excited and made way for the Water Empress.
With everyone looking at them happily, the Water Empress and Xu Que went back to the palace together.
…
When they arrived at the palace, the Water Empress ordered all the maids and eunuchs, as well as Princess Zi Xuan, to leave the room.
Now, only she and Xu Que remained in the room.
Xu Que suddenly got aroused and began to think dirty thoughts.
A man and a woman in one room, what is she going to do?
"Little chap!"
Xu Que was brought back to reality.
"What?!"
He turned around and faced the Water Empress.
The Water Empress smiled and loosened her clothes, exposing her white, beautiful shoulder.
Seeing this, Xu Que took a deep breath and shouted, "Wait, I am a man with principles. I would only like to have sex with you in certain positions. I won't do some peculiar ones…"

464 Something Every Man Knows!
Chapter 464: Something Every Man Knows!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the spacious bedchamber, the atmosphere was quite strange. There was a momentary lull.
Standing there with dilated eyes, Xu Que could feel the rapid beating of his heart.
Even though he had once seen the naked body of the Water Empress in the Tower of Souls, the sight of her snow-white shoulder still aroused him greatly.
However, the Water Empress was quite calm. It seemed she didn't know how attractive her shoulder was to Xu Que. She unbuttoned her collar and removed a blue jade necklace from her neck.
The necklace was weaved with tiny silvery chains. Each silver chain was saturated with a mysterious power and archaic aura. The blue jade in the middle was crystal clear, and would shine brilliantly in the sun. The blue jade was also giving off a faint but refreshing fragrance.
"Little chap, your Heavenly Tribulation is approaching. Take this necklace with you and it will help you cross the Heavenly Tribulations and hone your cultivation in the future," the Water Empress waved her hand. Then the necklace rose up into the air and flew to Xu Que slowly.
At the same time, she tidied up her dress and resumed her elegance.
Xu Que was dumbfounded immediately. I was ready for the intimacies, but is that all you wanted to show me?
She…she is such a bully! I am a kind person, but I am not someone to be bullied! No, I shall get more glimpses at her!
Then Xu Que widened his twinkling eyes and stared at the Water Empress… in her face.
I only saw one of your shoulders, and now I shall have a good look at your face. Losing is not acceptable!
"Little chap, what's wrong?" the Water Empress asked at this moment. It seemed she had noticed the change in his expression and she now looked at him with puzzlement.
"What?" said Xu Que earnestly, not taking his eyes off her.
The Water Empress was confused but had not figured out Xu Que's trick. "What's wrong with you? Is my face dirty?"
Xu Que said, "No, just leave me alone. I am practicing Shut-eye Meditation!"
The Water Empress couldn't help laughing. "I've only heard of Silent Meditation. Where does your Shut-eye Meditation come from? In addition, your eyes are opened widely. How can you comprehend Zen this way?"
Without changing his expression, Xu Que said, "This is the highest state of Shut-eye Meditation!"
Lying through your teeth!
Xu Que would never say the second half of that sentence.
The Water Empress was embarrassed by his expression. Then she said, shaking her head, "You are always weird. Okay, just take the necklace, it will be helpful for your cultivation in future."
"Okay!"
Xu Que came to himself and found the necklace floating in front of him. He grabbed it with his hand.
He had hardly found the necklace in his palm when he felt the warmth of the blue jade, which was also giving off a refreshing fragrance.
My God! Her body temperature and body fragrance?
As an expert in adult topics, Xu Que figured out the origin of the temperature and fragrance immediately. He was so excited that he almost had a bloody nose again.
For ordinary beautiful girls, Xu Que would never be so excited.
However, the girl in front of him was the unparalleled Water Empress, who was godlike in her beauty!
The necklace in his hand used to be closely pressed to that part of the Water Empress's body.
"Little guy, why are you absent-minded again? Are you worrying about the Heavenly Tribulation?" Seeing Xu Que's weird expression, the Water Empress couldn't help but show her concern. She didn't take any adult content into her consideration.
Xu Que smiled quickly and replied, "Aha, it doesn't matter. Just the Heavenly Tribulation, nothing to worry about. I just want to know whether you still need necklaces or not. If you do, I am willing to give you some…"
"I still have necklaces. It's unnecessary for you to give me more," the Water Empress said with a faint smile.
Although she had lived a long time, her knowledge in certain fields (the adult content field) was far less than that of Xu Que. Therefore, she thought Xu Que was just about to give a necklace back to her and didn't understand the flirtatious undercurrent in Xu Que's words.
"What a pity!" Xu Que said regretfully.
The Water Empress smiled. "It seems you are not nervous. It would be nice to stay this way. For the upcoming Heavenly Tribulation, you shall be strong and confident. Timidity and anxiety shall be avoided!"
Xu Que crossed his legs unnaturally to hide his embarrassment. He pretended to watch the necklace in his hand carefully. "Young lady, is this necklace a magic amulet? Wow, is… it an eight-star magic artifact?"
Suddenly he felt moved emotionally.
To his surprise, this necklace was indeed an eight-star magic artifact!
According to his knowledge, eight-star magic artifacts were quite rare in the five nations. The only eight-star magic artifact he possessed had been obtained from Buttface out of deception and violence, yet was still so enviable for many cultivators.
But now the Water Empress had generously given her eight-star amulet to him after finding out that he was about to take the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Young lady, please take it back. I really don't need such a precious magic artifact to complete the Heavenly Tribulation." Xu Que felt a little bit too embarrassed to accept this necklace.
After all, he could complete the Heavenly Tribulation easily. An eight-star magic artifact was really unnecessary. Moreover, the eight-star magic artifact was very precious for many people, but it was nothing to someone like Xu Que who had the System.
In addition, he could tell that this necklace was very important to the Water Empress. After all, it was an eight-star magic artifact—maybe it was also loaded with other special meanings. Otherwise, the Water Empress wouldn't wear it against her skin.
"Just take it." The Water Empress smiled a bit, which was very charming. Then she turned around and walked to the table.
Xu Que fell silent, so he had to accept it by nodding his head. Then he continued to sit there, crossing his legs.
The Water Empress started to make tea. The next moment she raised her head and looked at Xu Que. "How about a cup of tea?"
"No!" Xu Que closed his legs unnaturally and looked away.
He really had no choice. As a young man, his 'little brother' was too impetuous. If he didn't cross his legs, the prominent erection would be too embarrassing. This was something every man knew!
The Water Empress found Xu Que's behavior even weirder, so she made a cup of tea and said, "Really? Don't you want a cup of tea?"
Xu Que shook his head, "You drink first!"
The Water Empress smiled. "What? Are you afraid of being poisoned by me?"
Xu Que shook his head again. "No!"
The Water Empress was quite curious. "Then why don't you want to drink it?"
Rolling his eyes, Xu Que said earnestly, "I can't drink, for later I need to drive."
"What?" the Water Empress was stunned a bit.
The word 'drive' reminded her of the time that Xu Que had taught her how to drive an excavator in Fire Country.
However, she couldn't figure out how 'drinking tea' was related to 'driving'!
But she wouldn't waste time pondering something she didn't understand. She just felt like Xu Que was acting generally quite normal, except his behaviors were a little bit weird.
After a short while of silence, the Water Empress picked up her cup and took a sip of the tea. Then she looked at Xu Que. "Little chap, when will your Heavenly Tribulation come?"
Xu Que closed his legs again and counted with his fingers. "According to my calculations, it should be tomorrow!"
"Okay, tomorrow you can complete your Heavenly Tribulation at the Temple of Heaven. As an optimal place to complete the Heavenly Tribulation, it is protected by magic arrays, which can weaken the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. You have crossed the 49 Heavenly Tribulations. The power of the 59 Heavenly Tribulations will be higher. But don't be too worried, I will look after you in the Temple of Heaven. In case any unexpected emergency occurs, I will ensure your safety," the Water Empress said earnestly, nodding her head.
After hearing that, Xu Que frowned immediately.
Weaken the power of the Heavenly Tribulation? No! If the Heavenly Tribulation is weakened, how will I strengthen my body with the Hell King's Prison Suppression Style? And how will I continue the cultivation of the Monkey Blocks Lightning?
No, no, I don't want to take the Heavenly Tribulation in this place!
Then, he looked at the Water Empress and asked, "Since there is an optimal place to cross the Heavenly Tribulation, there must be a dangerous place to cross the Heavenly Tribulation, right?"
Without thinking about it, the Water Empress replied with a smile, "The Imperial Tombs are absolutely the most dangerous place to take the Heavenly Tribulation! The former emperors, who were all experts, were buried in that place. Together with the power of the Dragon Veins, the Heavenly Tribulation would be very violent in that place!"
Xu Que was so delighted after hearing that. Then he said, patting his thigh, "Okay, tomorrow I will go to the Imperial Tombs!"

465 Xu Que is going to go through another Heavenly Tribulation
Chapter 465: Xu Que is going to go through another Heavenly Tribulation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the next day, the news that Xu Que was going to go through another Heavenly Tribulation spread across the Imperial City.
When people heard that he had chosen the Imperial Tomb to be the site of the Heavenly Tribulation, they were shocked.
"My god! Is he insane?!"
"Throughout history, every Emperor of the Water Nation has been buried there, and the Dragon Veins are right beneath it. He is putting himself in a very dangerous situation."
"He is the General, he can just choose the Temple of Heaven, why on earth has he chosen the Imperial Tomb?"
"I have no idea. I got the news from someone I know in the palace."
"Someone heard that the Water Empress was persuading him to go to the Temple of Heaven instead, but he didn't listen."
"Really?!"
"Yes! He said that a strong man should not be afraid of anything and can never be called a strong man if he is afraid of the Heavenly Tribulation."
"Huh…"
Hearing this, people were speechless.
A strong man should not be afraid of anything. Yes! This all sounds very good. But he is going to go through the 59 Heavenly Tribulations, which is much more powerful than the 49 Heavenly Tribulations. His life would be in enough peril in the Temple of Heaven without full preparations.
And this time he has chosen to go through his Heavenly Trial in the Imperial Tomb? At least among the Five Nations, no one has ever done this before.
All of a sudden, everyone was talking about this.
If this news had broken out just a few days ago, people would still be discussing it, but not at such a large scale.
But since Xu Que was the boss of the Wanda Plaza of Exploding Heavens Faction, and the burger, the french fries and so on were the hope of the cultivators in the city, Xu Que himself now represented the hope of the entire city.
Thus, everyone hoped that he could safely complete his Heavenly Tribulation.
Some influential officials even submitted a written statement to the Water Empress, hoping she could persuade him.
"I hope you can stop General Zhuge from going to the Imperial Tomb!"
"Please stop him, if he disagrees, we can tie him up and bring him to the Temple of Heaven."
"Yes, I would like to risk my life to bring him to the Temple of Heaven!"
"Me too! But I hope Your Highness can protect my family from being looted by General Zhuge."
…
Reading these statements, the Water Empress frowned and had quite a headache.
Last night, when Xu Que had said he would like to go to the Imperial Tomb instead, she had been stunned and thought that he was joking.
But when she saw his sincere eyes, she instantly knew he meant what he had said.
When she asked him why he was doing this, he replied with, "Because of love." At that moment, she had been really embarrassed.
In fact, the Water Empress had talked about this business with Xu Que many times, but he had never listened.
That night, Xu Que had said many marvelous and ambitious words, and they had all been heard by the guards, maids, and eunuchs who walked by.
They were all surprised by his words and called him 'the man of heaven'.
"This little chap is indeed a troublemaker!" The Water Empress shook her head and forced out a smile.
Although she knew going to the Imperial Tomb was very dangerous, when she saw his acting so confident, she realised there was no use in saying anything else to persuade him.
She knew that he never did things he was not sure of, and if he indeed was in danger, he could run away easily and quickly. For example, last time in the Tower of Souls, he had managed to run away as soon as he had smelt the Qi of the masters of Sky Incense Valley.
Thinking of this, the Water Empress finally felt relieved and pushed the statement aside. Then she stood up and headed to her bedroom, and decided to see how Xu Que was planning to go through his Heavenly Tribulation.
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que and Buttface arrived at the Imperial Tomb.
Earlier, Buttface had heard the news and hurriedly went to the Imperial Tomb. He told Xu Que that he would like to help him if anything dangerous happened, but in fact, he simply wanted to be the first one to witness Xu Que getting wounded.
For Buttface, today might be the best day ever.
"Young man, you really have no need to come here. The most important thing is your own safety!" Buttface said, trying very hard to suppress his happiness.
Xu Que sneered. "Do not worry, I will have you with me when I go through the Heavenly Tribulation."
"What!"
Hearing this, Buttface was terrified and immediately ran away.
Xu Que stood in the gateway of the imperial City and looked around, trying to find the spot where the Qi of Dragon was the thickest.
Last time when he was going through the 49 Heavenly Tribulations, even the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud had been destroyed and turned into Qi. The Qi then nourished and rebuilt Xu Que's body. Besides, he had even created a new magic inscription, the Monkey Blocks Lightning.
Since the power of the thunder and lightning was immensely huge, Xu Que wanted to take this opportunity to nourish and enhance his body again. Apart from this, he also wanted to make the Monkey Blocks Lightning more powerful.
…
Soon, many people gathered, waiting to see Xu Que go through his Heavenly Tribulation.
Amongst the people, some had come simply to see a show, whilst the rest had come to persuade Xu Que to stop this.
"Thanks for your consideration. I have made up my mind," Xu Que said, standing at the top of the Mountain of the Imperial Tomb.
We are just worried that no one can continue to make burgers and things like that when you are dead…
…
As time passed, more and more people gathered.
More than half the entire population of the city came at last.
Seeing this, Xu Que felt very satisfied and kept a stiff upper lip. He stood alone at the top and looked like a lonely powerful man, like a romantic hero in a novel.
"The Princess Zi Xuan is coming!"
Seeing this, people quickly made way for her.
A luxury carriage slowly came. The curtain had not been lifted up yet, but people knew that the Princess Zi Xuan was sitting inside.
"The Water Empress is coming!"
People were stunned.
He is really something. Last time, both the Princess and the Water Empress were attracted by his McDonald's. This time, they have come again for him.
The Water Empress was not riding a carriage—instead she was riding a Precious Cloud Water Sword. Then she landed on top of a mountain opposite the Mountain of Imperial Tomb. it seemed that she intended to protect Xu Que if anything happened.
"Little chap, you really think you can safely go through this?" she asked Xu Que calmly.
Xu Que nodded. "Young lady, do not worry about me, I will be fine."
"Good!" the Water Empress nodded and smiled gently.
Meanwhile, the sound of the System notifications were ringing in his head.
Ding! "The Heavenly Trial is about to begin, once the host successfully goes through this, the host can enter the Infant Transformation Stage."
Ding! "The level of the 59 Heavenly Tribulations is 'Hell Mode'. If the host summons the Heavenly Tribulation himself, the difficulty will increase, but once the host completes it, he will receive a 'Big Gift Box of the Heavenly Tribulation'. Are you going to summon it?"
Big Gift Box of the Heavenly Tribulation?
Hearing this, Xu Que's eyes sparkled.
I want it! Increasing the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation? This is exactly what I want!
Let me show you how tough I can act!

466 Attract Thunder Tribulation by Acting Tough
Chapter 466: Attract Thunder Tribulation by Acting Tough
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Xu Que completed his 49 Heavenly Tribulations, he had tried to summon the tribulations by acting tough in a way that was cool and domineering.
At that time, he had yelled to the sky a lot, and ended up saying, "I am not handsome!" Then he had received the reply, "You lied!" Then the Heavenly Tribulation had come.
However, this time he did not want to repeat this trick.
With his hands behind his back, he stood there calmly and looked at the sky. His expression was a little bit lonely and thoughtful.
People in the area started to fix their eyes on him. They gradually grew quiet.
However, after a while, someone grew impatient and started to frown.
"What's going on? Why is General Zhuge standing in a daze on the mountaintop?"
"Right, even if he plans to take the Heavenly Tribulation here, at least he should make some preparations, right?"
"He should at least take a Vitality Pill, right? And he should also take out his magic artifacts. But why is he doing nothing?"
"Could it be that his calculation of the time was incorrect? Is the Heavenly Tribulation not ripe yet?"
"Wow, this is good news. General Zhuge, you still have time to change the site. Don't cling on to this place," someone started to shout at Xu Que. They asked him to go to the Temple of Heaven.
"Right, General Zhuge, just change the site!"
"It is unnecessary to take the Heavenly Tribulation here!"
"It's really unnecessary!"
Many people also started to shout at him, trying to persuade him to change his mind.
However, Xu Que had made up his mind. Standing on the hilltop and with his robe whirling about in the wind, he was very handsome and composed.
"You really don't want to change the site, right?" asked the Water Empress, delivering a message from the mountaintop opposite. Her voice was calm and tender.
"A word spoken by a real man cannot be taken back! I will not change the site," Xu Que replied sonorously. Like a soldier about to enter the battlefield, his eyes were resolute and determined.
His words and solemn expression immediately impressed many onlookers at the foot of the hill, who couldn't help getting excited.
"It seems… it is reasonable that General Zhuge is so powerful!"
"Right! Although he fools around shamelessly every day, he can still press forward with indomitable will, and undergo the Heavenly Tribulation!"
"This is even more than pressing forward with indomitable will, this is undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation and risking his life!"
"Alas, that's why he is so powerful. He can fight an expert of the Infant Transformation Stage whilst at level 10 of the Original Infant Stage!"
"His mighty strength and power have definitely been realized through great efforts!"
…
Many people were exclaiming and looking at Xu Que on the mountaintop with adoring eyes.
"Alas!"
At this moment, Xu Que who was on the mountaintop finally started to move. After letting out a heavy sigh, he stopped watching the sky.
Seeing that, the onlookers at the foot of the hill started to stir uneasily.
"Is General Zhuge going to start his preparations?"
"I knew it! General Zhuge would never play with his life!"
"Exactly! After all, he is going to cross the Heavenly Tribulation in the Imperial Tomb. He at least needs some elixirs and magic artifacts for protection."
"See, see, he is taking something out!" some sharp-eyed people shouted in surprise.
Waving his hand, Xu Que took out an item from the storage of the System.
All the onlookers were stunned slightly, and then were dumbfounded after giving that item a good look.
A chair?
What he had taken out was a chair!
"What's going on?"
"Could this chair be a magic artifact?"
"It doesn't look like a magic artifact! It doesn't even have spiritual fluctuations!"
All at once, many people were totally confused.
Even the Water Empress who was on the hill opposite Xu Que was shocked. She didn't know what Xu Que was going to do by taking out a chair at this moment.
However, Xu Que continued to place the chair down. Then he took out a table from the package of the System.
The next moment, he started to put things on the table in an orderly fashion under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.
Tea sets, cups, a gas stove, water kettle, top-class Pu-erh tea… finally he even took out a giant sunshade. Then he stuck the sunshade into the ground and opened it.
Sitting in the chair, he made a fire and placed the kettle on the fire. Then he started to wait in his chair.
Immediately all the onlookers were stunned.
What… is he doing?
Is he making tea?
The Heavenly Tribulation is coming. How can you sit here and make tea with so professional tools?
The Water Empress was shocked too. She didn't expect Xu Que to wait for the Heavenly Tribulation in such a manner. His behavior was too bold and absurd!
Rumble… rumble…
At this moment, the water in the kettle began boiling.
Xu Que picked up the kettle immediately and washed the tea cups with boiling water first. Then he poured some water into the teapot to wash the tea!
The whole process was quite elegant. It was like the process for Kungfu Tea, which was slow and agreeable.
All at once, all the onlookers were completely puzzled.
What is this guy going to do?
Is he really going to take the Heavenly Tribulation today?
Could it be that he is lying to us? No one can pass the Heavenly Tribulation in this way! How can he sit there and drink tea?
"Xu Que, don't do anything stupid." Finally the Water Empress delivered a message to him at this moment.
This time she didn't call him "little chap" but spoke his name with a serious expression.
What Xu Que was doing now was a great disrespect to the Heavens, which could easily lead to disastrous results.
However, Xu Que replied calmly with a smile, "Young lady, do you want a cup of tea?"
After saying that, he poured the tea into several cups which gave off white vapor and a fragrance of rich tea.
Then he flicked his finger gently. Whoosh! A cup flew to the Water Empress who was on the hill opposite him.
"Please taste the tea that was made by me. It is authentic century-old Pu-erh tea." Xu Que smiled.
The Water Empress was shocked slightly. Then she waved her slender hand and took the cup easily. Looking at Xu Que's smiling face with puzzlement, the Water Empress thought suddenly: Is this little guy doing this intentionally? Does he plan to summon a more violent Heavenly Tribulation?
Thinking of this, the Water Empress picked up the cup and took a sip. The rich tea fragrance filled her body immediately. Meanwhile, her Soul Strength was instantly nourished by a formless energy, which shocked her a bit.
Could…this tea be used to strengthen one's Soul Strength? It is even more powerful than his stinky tofu! the Water Empress said to herself silently.
Xu Que squinted his eyes and also took a sip of tea with smile.
He had used his chef skills whilst concocting the tea. The effect was very powerful. One cup of tea could double one's Soul Strength temporarily, which was even more powerful than Vitality Pills.
"Is it good?" asked Xu Que as he looked at the Water Empress with smile.
The Water Empress nodded with a smile. "It's good!"
Xu Que said, "Do you like it?"
The Water Empress said, "I like it!"
Xu Que said, "Okay, next time I will make noodles for you."
The Water Empress said, "Okay!"
…
The rest of the onlookers were confused totally and didn't have time to react. It is one thing for General Zhuge to act mischievously. But how could the Water Empress behave like this by drinking tea and chatting with him?
Clap!
At this moment, Xu Que put the teacup back onto the table and stood up abruptly.
Immediately, all the onlookers started to stare at Xu Que.
Finally, Xu Que spoke.
"The tea, these lofty mountains and this flowing water all remind me of my childhood!"
The onlookers felt the corners of their mouths twitch.
Damn! I just thought you were going to say something impressive. Is it a good time to reminisce about your childhood now?
However, Xu Que continued to speak. "I remember when I was young, I used to see Duan Jiu De!"
"What?" hearing the name 'Duan Jiu De', everyone was shocked.
Could it be that General Zhuge met Duan Jiu De in his childhood? Holy shit! What is the relationship between him and Duan Jiu De?
Xu Que continued to say, "Frankly speaking, Duan Jiu De was quite powerful!"
Hearing that, the onlookers raised their eyebrows immediately. Everyone knows Duan Jiu De is powerful, okay?
At this moment, Xu Que looked at the onlookers suddenly and said, "Do you know, when he saw me, he started to exclaim, 'It is impossible! It is impossible for this world to have such a handsome person in it!' Then, he started to attack me out of jealousy."
All of a sudden, all the onlookers went still!
Did Duan Jiu De attack you because he was jealous of your handsome appearance?
Damn! See what a braggart you are! You said you were young at that time. If Duan Jiu De really attacked you, how could you stay alive until now?
By ignoring the onlookers' expressions and the dumbfounded Water Empress, Xu Que continued to say, "At that time, I fought with him for eight rounds, and he was defeated by me. When I was about to punch him for the eighth time, he called someone to attack me shamelessly with a magic artifact. My Gosh! I didn't hesitate to drop the two buckets of water in my hands and started to fight them seriously! Later, when I was about to kill them both, Duan Jiu De summoned another person to attack me from behind. It was lucky that I opened my eyes in time and finally repelled the three of them with great efforts."
The area was in silence. All the onlookers were totally dumbfounded and confused!
Shaking his head, Xu Que sighed. "Alas, whenever I think of this, I am always touched. Can I be guilty for simply being handsome?"
Boom!
Suddenly, a big bang resounded in the sky. It shocked the earth like mighty thunder from the Nine Heavens.

467 Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud? Haha, my old pal!
Chapter 467: Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud? Haha, my old pal!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 800 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for summoning the 59 Heavenly Tribulations."
"The level of the Heavenly Tribulation is 'Hell Mode', please be prepared and act carefully. If the host manages to successfully complete the tribulation, he will receive a 'big gift box of the Heavenly Tribulation'."
The sound of System notifications rung in his head.
At the same time, people could hear the thunder and see the lightning.
The sky was changing drastically. A black cloud, like a huge dark palm, covered the whole sky and was getting closer and closer to the ground.
The atmosphere was getting so scary that everyone at present felt suffocated, as if it was the end of the world.
"Xu Que, do be careful!" the Water Empress said with a serious face.
She had no idea why his Heavenly Tribulation had come so quickly. Besides, it had never occurred to her that his Heavenly Tribulation could be this powerful! This was totally beyond her expectations.
"What's going on? Why does his Heavenly Tribulation look so scary?!"
"Even if he is right above the Imperial Tomb, it is impossible for his Heavenly Tribulation to be this powerful!"
"I think his Heavenly Tribulation is already more powerful than that of the Demonic Beast. How can this be?"
"It seems that heaven wants to take his life away…"
"Crickey! General Zhuge is bound to die this time."
Everyone became rather gloomy. Some even secretly backed off, fearing the lightning.
In fact, Xu Que also felt a bit surprised. The Heavenly Tribulation had not even started, but it already looked much scarier than the one Xu Que had experienced when he was with the Mysterious Clan.
"Fine, this is exactly what I need." Xu Que smiled.
He did not have any magic weapons in his hands. The Spirit Visage, the Banshee's Veil and the Blue Jade Necklace that had been given to him by the Water Empress were all in the Storage Space of his System.
After all, Xu Que's body was one of the God of Hell's Compulsion, which was of both Thunder Nature and Fire Nature. So he was not afraid at all.
Xu Que wanted to take this opportunity to test how strong his body had become.
Although the Thunder Nature of his God of Hell's Compulsion had become quite mature, he could still absorb the energy of the thunder and lightning to enhance it further.
It was still thundering violently. The noise was so loud and the atmosphere was getting more and more frightening.
With the sound of the thunder echoing again and again in the sky, all the cultivators' faces grew pale.
The Water Empress was getting more and more worried.
"Hurry up. Give me a Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud then!" Xu Que shouted to the sky.
Seeing this, people at present were almost frightened to death. Their eyes were wide open.
Is he insane?! How dare he shout to the sky! He hasn't been frightened by the Heavenly Tribulation at all?! He wants to be struck by the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud and have a warm-up?
Everyone was speechless.
Still, they did not believe a Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud would really appear simply because Xu Que had asked for it.
Besides, the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud had only appeared once in the ancient times. A pure purple lightning was far more powerful than a common strike of lightning.
The thunder roared again…
The next minute, a pure purple lightning that was as wide as a grown man's arm appeared in the sky.
All of a sudden, everyone was shocked.
"No way! This is impossible!"
"It...is purple! It is pure purple! Are my eyes deceiving me?"
"The Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud that has only appeared in the ancient times has appeared just now!"
Just a few minutes ago, Xu Que had shouted to the sky, asking for a Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud… and the next minute, it appeared.
Was this a coincidence, or fate?
If this was a coincidence, Xu Que's power must have grown stronger than anyone who was in the same Stage as him. That was why he could easily summon the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud.
If this was fate, then heaven had decided to kill him, and that would be certain.
Even heaven wanted to kill him, which meant Xu Que was really a bad guy.
The Water Empress, who was standing on the mountain opposite Xu Que's, was completely shocked.
"How can this be? Is it because of me again?" she murmured. She thought the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud must have something to do with her own misfortune.
Xu Que laughed. "Haha, we are already old pals to each other, Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud. Come and strike me!"
Hearing this, everyone including the Water Empress was stunned.
The Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud is his old pal?
He has met it before? When he was going through the 49 Heavenly Tribulations, whilst in the Golden Core Stage?
If this is true, how did he survive from it?!
Someone in the Golden Core Stage was able to withstand a Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud?
The thunder roared again…
Meanwhile, the clouds in the sky started to churn.
Soon, another Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud that was as wide as a grown man's arm appeared in the sky.
It grew bigger and bigger…
In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud grew into a huge purple milky way. It was indeed terrifying.
The thunder roared…
Suddenly, it fell down from the heavens like a streak of falling purple.
Seeing this, everyone had goosebumps all over their bodies. They were so frightened that their faces all turned pale.
Before this magnificent thunder, they felt as fragile and tiny as ants.
The Water Empress gazed at Xu Que, feeling extremely worried.
Meanwhile, Xu Que was still very calm and smiling.
Seeing this, the Water Empress realised that Xu Que must have been prepared for this, otherwise, he could never be this calm.
"It is too slow and weak! I shall not waste my time on it!"
He then took out his Dark Heavy Buster Sword and jumped high up into the sky.
"What is he doing?!" people exclaimed.
Xu Que's back now looked very huge and magnificent, as if he had turned into an invincible man.
He was about to hit the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud that was falling down like a purple streak.

468 Let the Heavenly Tribulation be Fiercer
Chapter 468: Let the Heavenly Tribulation be Fiercer
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Boom!
It seemed heaven had sensed Xu Que's disrespectful behaviors. The Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud fell from the sky, making a big bang.
All the onlookers went pale from terror.
The Water Empress was also surprised. She delivered a message to Xu Que's mind. "Xu Que, be careful!"
However, Xu Que pressed forward valiantly with indomitable will. With the Dark Heavy Buster Sword in his hand, he cleaved at that waterfall-sized Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud.
"Just break!"
With unstoppable momentum, Xu Que gave a loud shout.
Boom!
The Dark Heavy Buster Sword made a big bang and a formless airwave slashed through the air, heading directly towards the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud!
The next moment, the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud was cut open entirely. Before approaching Xu Que, it fell apart and turned into numerous tiny purple electrical arcs, which fell like drizzle.
Some arcs disappeared in the air, while some arcs fell on Xu Que and went into his body.
Xu Que used the Hell King's Prison Suppression Style. All pores in his body were opened, and his meridian flowed in the anterograde mode. Like taking a shower in the thunder and rain, he started to absorb the purple lightning and thunder crazily, in order to refine and purify the thunder power in his body.
Seeing that, the onlookers at the foot of the hill were completely dumbfounded. They couldn't believe what they had seen.
"How…how could this be possible?"
"The Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud… was destroyed!"
"By destroying the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud with one slice, he managed to break the tribulation with force!"
All onlookers were totally stunned. They had never expected such a violent and formidable Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud to be defeated by Xu Que with one move.
After being in a daze for a short while, the Water Empress breathed a sigh of relief. Watching Xu Que absorb the thunder power, the Water Empress couldn't help but smile in amazement.
This little chap… planned to absorb the tribulation thunders. His magic arts are really weird! the Water Empress said to herself silently. She was reassured completely.
The first Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud had been destroyed by Xu Que. Part of this thunder had even been absorbed by him. After that, the thunderclouds in the sky became even denser.
Countless thunderclouds were rolling in the sky like a stormy sea covering the entire sky. The heavens were black, tremendous, and scary.
"How… could it change so quickly?"
"Just now the first thunder tribulation was so formidable! Now the second thunder tribulation is coming. But the sky is full of murderous intent now. The changes are really too fast!"
"It is definitely not in step-by-step mode. Apparently, it is a killing tribulation!"
"Are the heavens really going to eradicate General Zhuge?"
"What did he do? Why don't they let him survive?"
The onlookers were shocked by Xu Que's destruction of the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud with one slice. However, they were more terrified by the changes in the sky.
No one knew why Xu Que was being targeted by the Heavens, but the reason was because he had cultivated the Ancient Five Elemental Arts. The System had previously reminded him that the cultivation of this art went against the will of the Heavens, so it would be very difficult for him to cross the Heavenly Tribulations.
Moreover, even in this hard mode, Xu Que had challenged the Heavens by acting tough many times. Along with other possible factors caused by the System, the Heavenly Tribulations for him would be abnormal and horrible.
However, at this moment Xu Que was actually more and more excited.
He had defeated the first Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud easily, without even using the Spirit Visage and the Banshee's Veil. Obviously, his strength now was very powerful!
Now the second thunder tribulation was coming. Xu Que started to take it seriously. However, his heart was still full of anticipation.
"Let the Heavenly Tribulation be fiercer!" Xu Que shouted domineeringly, holding the Black Heavy Buster Sword high and pointing it at the sky.
Gasp!
All the onlookers gasped in great terror.
What sort of person is this guy?
The momentum of the second Heavenly Tribulation is already so formidable. Why are you still challenging the Heavens?
Could it be that he is not afraid of death?
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough during the Heavenly Tribulation. The reward is 800 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting though successfully. The reward is 360 Acting Tough Points!"
"Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting though successfully. The reward is 380 Acting Tough Points!"
…
The sound of System notifications kept coming in.
Xu Que stared at the black sky with his eyes shining.
Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud, just give me more purple thunder please. The purple lightning and thunder in the first tribulation was far from enough!
A strand of thunder power was stored in his Dantian, which was full of blue lightning. This power was also crisscrossed with very limited purple lightning, so it was far from pure.
After being absorbed by his body, most of the purple lightning and thunder had merged into his meridian. Only a few streaks of purple lightning had been stored in his Dantian. Therefore, what Xu Que needed now was to absorb more purple thunder and lightning to fully turn the color of the thunder power in his Dantian purple.
By then, all his thunder power would be turned into thunder essence. When he unleashed the Monkey Blocks Lightning, its power would be even stronger than that of the Buddha's Fiery Lotus!
Just think about that. Every time Xu Que unleashed the Monkey Blocks Lightning, it would summon the Heavenly Tribulation with the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud to his enemy! This was so exciting!
Therefore, in order to obtain this excitement, Xu Que was eager to have a fiercer Heavenly Tribulation.
Waving the Black Heavy Buster Sword in his hand, Xu Que looked magnificent and fearless. He was even thinking about how he could make the second thunder tribulation fiercer.
Its current power couldn't satisfy him at all.
Crack!
A huge amount of purple lightning was shuttling back and forth in the black clouds, like little snakes. This lightning started to gather in the clouds above Xu Que's head, growing bigger and bigger.
This scene made all the onlookers extremely jumpy and nervous.
"The second thunder tribulation will be even more formidable!"
"It is much stronger than the first one. I'm afraid General Zhuge won't be able to survive it!"
"Alas!"
Many people were worrying about Xu Que, shaking their heads.
After all, according to the momentum of the second thunder tribulation, it would be much stronger than the first one, which had already been so formidable.
"Hum!"
However, a cold snort came from the back of the crowd at that moment.
People turned around to look. Then they were stunned.
The snort had come from an old man in black who was smiling venomously and staring at Xu Que on the hilltop with cold eyes.
"Gee! Is this the old man who was in the room beside General Zhuge during the auction held by the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce?"
"It seems so! Although that day he was behind a blind, his aura field is so familiar!"
"During the auction, General Zhuge came into a conflict with him for a Great Clarity Green Water Pill."
"It seems he is going to have a good laugh at General Zhuge today!"
Many people who had attended that auction recognized the old man immediately.
However, the old man kept staring at Xu Que on the hilltop, ignoring the rest of the onlookers.
The next moment, the old man took out a storage bag suddenly, wearing a venomous expression. By turning himself into a shadow, he flew over the crowds and ruthlessly threw the storage bag at Xu Que.
"What?"
"What did he throw at General Zhuge?"
"Oh, no! General Zhuge, be careful!"
All at once, many people started to shout in surprise.
Even the Water Empress who was on the hill opposite Xu Que was shocked after seeing this. She flew up instinctively and tried to stop the old man.
However, she was on the hill opposite Xu Que, and was too far away for her to stop the old man, who was much closer, from throwing the storage bag.
"How dare you? Stop!" the Water Empress harshly yelled at the old man from afar.
The old man didn't stop. After throwing the first bag, he immediately threw a second storage bag.
The next moment, he looked at the Water Empress and laughed grimly. "Water Empress, at the very beginning, I had decided to forgive his rudeness in the auction because of you. However, this little brat is doomed. Someone overseas has asked me to kill him. You'd better mind your own business!"

Chapter 469: Get down, now!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
What?!
Hearing this, the Water Empress was astonished, as were the rest of the people present.
Someone from overseas?
What is going on?
Why on earth does someone from overseas want to kill General Zhuge?
Has General Zhuge been overseas and made enemies there?
"Did the Jiang family send you here?" The Water Empress stared coldly at the old man.
The old man sneered. "You know about the Jiang family? Well, then you must also know that you will be severely punished if you ever stop me and offend the Jiang family."
Then, he took out the third storage bag and threw it at Xu Que.
The Water Empress quickly waved her hand and read some magic inscriptions.
In the blink of an eye, a water dragon appeared, crashing into the bag.
Bang!
The bag exploded in the air.
However, inside the bag were countless black flying bugs.
They were flying in the sky like a black tornado. They kept flapping their wings. The sound was so loud that people felt like their eardrums were going to break.
"Crikey!"
"The Thunder Attracting Bee?"
"Holy hell! It's the Lightning Attracting Bee!"
Someone among the crowd recognized it and shouted its name.
The Lightning Attracting Bee could attract thunder and lightning. Everytime it appeared, it would always be struck by lightning. But since lightning was not that powerful, most of these bees could enhance themselves by bathing in the lightning instead.
Because of this, one would usually put them in a storage bag and free them to increase the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Asa result, they would increase the risk of killing the person they hated.
With this amount of Lightning Attracting Bees, the power of Xu Que's Heavenly Tribulation was bound to become few times more powerful.
"That old man is really cruel!"
"Ten Lightning Attracting Bees will already increase the power of a Heavenly Tribulation by many degrees…"
"If it were not for the Water Empress, the General Zhuge would be dead by now."
"That old man does not look like one who would possess so many Lightning Attracting Bees. It must be the person from overseas."
People were discussing this.
However, the two storage bags the old man had thrown earlier had gotten very close to the thundercloud above Xu Que's head.
A small streak of lightning appeared and broke the two bags.
Bang!
All of a sudden, two black tornados of Lightning Attracting Bee began swirling in the air.
"Holy sh*t!"
"This is... insane."
Everyone at present was shocked.
No one thought there would be so many bees inside the two bags.
"He is doomed."
"General Zhuge is bound to die this time."
…
Seeing this, the Water Empress was furious and stared at the old man angrily, as if she was going to kill him at any minute.
This was the first time that she had showed this kind of emotion in front of everyone.
The old man was not afraid of the Water Empress at all. He looked at Xu Que and began to laugh at him.
"Foolish young man! This very date next year will be the anniversary of your death! Go to hell!"
"How dare you!" the Water Empress shouted.
All of a sudden, she chanted a water magic inscription. The next minute, countless water dragons appeared and flew towards the old man.
In fact, the old man was very powerful, despite being late in his years. He took out a magic weapon and started fighting against the Water Empress.
Bang!
Whilst the two cultivators who were both in the Infant Transformation Stage continued fighting against each other, invisible air waves spread out from their battle and distorted the void.
Meanwhile, on the hilltop over the Imperial Tomb, Xu Que had been considering how he could increase the power of the lightning. Now, the old man had 'helped' him solve this problem.
In the blink of an eye, the thundercloud became more ferocious. Countless streaks of purple lightning gathered. Earlier, they had only been as big as a grown man's arm, but now the lightning had turned into a huge purple dragon. The huge purple dragon was crawling inside the thunderclouds above Xu Que's head, one after another.
Seeing this, Xu Que felt very happy.
I must thank that old man later! He is such a nice man!
The thundercloud above Xu Que's head was roaring…
It turned completely dark, and countless purple dragons were tumbling inside it.
Everyone at present held their breath. They were so frightened that their faces became pale.
Even the old man was a bit surprised when he saw this scene. He became distracted by what he saw, and he was hit by the Water Empress.
He was badly injured and kept spitting out blood.
"Haha! I did it! I did it! That young man is not going to survive this!"
"Your Highness, that person from overseas has promised me that they will do anything they can to keep me alive. If you dare to hit me again, you will be punished."
"No one can keep you alive!" the Water Empress said emotionlessly.
In fact, she could easily kill the old man. After all, she was much more powerful than him. But since she was standing very close to the spot where Xu Que was going through his Heavenly Tribulation, if she did so, the Heavenly Tribulation would be affected and people at present would potentially suffer.
Due to this, she had only used some comparatively milder inscriptions.
Bang!
The thundercloud roared again…
Some weaker cultivators began to spit out blood and their faces turned pale.
At last, the thundercloud could no longer stand the power of the purple lightning—and collapsed.
The enormous streak of purple lighting finally revealed itself to the people.
Seeing it, everyone was stunned.
It is a f*cking lake loaded with the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud!
Xu Que got very excited and laughed hard.
"Thank you so much! With so much purple lightning, I can definitely enjoy myself!'
Enjoy yourself?!
How can he be so happy whilst facing such a great and powerful amount of Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud?!
Is there something wrong with his brain?
Suddenly, Xu Que held his Dark Heavy Buster Sword high up in the air.
"Come!"

470 The Ancient Catastrophe
Chapter 470: The Ancient Catastrophe
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Boom!
It seemed the Heavens had heard Xu Que's cry. Finally, the lake-sized Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud came down in torrents with a big bang.
A cloud of lightning, which was all thunder essence, illuminated the sky and earth with its purple radiance. The crisscrossing thunder and lightning poured down towards Xu Que's head with crackling sounds.
It's over!
No one can survive such a great amount of Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud!
General Zhuge, please rest in peace!
Your burger and ice cream will forever be remembered by us!
People had already started to mourn for him.
A question popped into someone's head. The person shouted abruptly, "Wait, General Zhuge, before your death, can you tell us whether we can get a refund for the membership cards?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Xu Que turned around and swore that guy. Then he picked up the Black Heavy Buster Sword, flew up and started to launch an active attack!
All the onlookers were dumbfounded.
The first Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud had been as large as a waterfall. However, it had been broken apart by Xu Que alone.
But the lightning and thunder was as large as a lake. How could Xu Que break apart such a large streak of lightning?
"How…could he be so brave?"
"It is impossible to break apart such a formidable thunder tribulation. He will be devoured by it!"
"Alas! He will die anyway. Do you think General Zhuge can survive by staying where he is?"
"This time he is facing certain death!"
…
People were sighing.
However, everyone was shocked in the next moment.
Xu Que jumped up and unleashed a jet of black flame from his hand, which was the Eight Waste Destruction Flame. Instantly, the entire Black Heavy Buster Sword was wrapped with flames, giving off violent and fiery air waves.
Bang!
Along with an explosion, Xu Que unleashed the Six Corporeal Forms in the sky, creating countless black sword shadows. With unstoppable momentum, the sword shadows, which could cover the sky and earth, smashed into the lake-sized Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud abruptly.
Boom!
Countless sword shadows, which had been saturated with the power of the Eight Waste Destruction Flame, experienced a direct collision with the thunder lake. There was a burst of formidable black flame. Then a tremendous explosion was triggered.
The scary power shocked the void and generated circles of formless ripples.
The black flames and the purple thunder and lightning were crushed and vanished in the sky at the same time. The remnants turned into a drizzle of purple lightning and fell on Xu Que, who absorbed it completely.
The whole area was in silence. All the onlookers were dumbfounded and amazed.
Did… he just break apart such a big Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud?
All those sword shadows were saturated with power! Aren't they just illusions?
Also, what kind of magic art could have scary black flames like that?
Hell, how many unique skills does this guy have?
Many people were shocked. They had thought that Xu Que would be killed by the second thunder tribulation. But they had never expected the second tribulation to be destroyed by him in such a neat way.
Xu Que was not afraid of this Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud at all. He had encountered this kind of thunder tribulation during the Golden Core Stage, and the result had involved him asking for more thunder tribulations by chastising the Heavens.
As for now, he had reached the consummation level of the Original Infant Stage. His physique was also much stronger than before. The same Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud was nothing to him now, even if there was more thunder.
"This… is impossible! How could this be? Why did so many Lightning Attracting Bees have no effect on him?" the old man shouted in surprise and disbelief at that moment. He kept stepping backwards.
Standing in the air, Xu Que was still absorbing the purple lightning. He glanced at the old man and said with a sardonic smile, "Old thing, don't be surprised and scared. Your Lightning Attracting Bees do work, and the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud is formidable. But there is a reason for everything that has occurred just now."
"What is it?" the old man asked with a quiver in his voice. He started to sense the terror that Xu Que could cause.
The rest of the onlookers also focused their eyes on Xu Que, for they wanted to know why he could survive such a formidable Heavenly Tribulation as well!
"Because…" Xu Que opened his mouth and then shouted loudly, "Because I am too strong!"
All of a sudden, the whole area descended into silence.
Everyone was so depressed, for they had thought that Xu Que would state some unfathomable reasons. But they had never expected… Xu Que to be so shameless that he would brag about being too strong.
Damn!
People couldn't help cursing. However, they had nothing to retort with.
After all, what he had said was correct. Because he was so strong, such a formidable Heavenly Tribulation couldn't harm him at all.
"Who the hell are you?" the old man shouted gloomily.
The old man's eyes were full of terror and puzzlement. He was more curious about Xu Que's identity. A young man like him could have so many unique skills. He had even been offered a bounty for his death by the overseas Jiang family. His background had to be unfathomable.
Xu Que smiled slightly. "This question is quite familiar! It seems you have asked me it many times. I have told you I am Mr. Wang who lives next door! The north wind blows. The fall wind is cool. Someone's beautiful wife stays home alone. I am good at solving your problems. I am Mr. Wang, your next-door neighbor! Remember?"
Puff!
Many people couldn't help laughing instantly.
The north wind blows. The fall wind is cool. Someone's beautiful wife stays home alone. I am good at solving your problems.. I am Mr. Wang, your next-door neighbor!
Holy shit! General Zhuge is also a poet! He could even blurt out such shameless drivel.
But the old man is so old. Even if he has a beautiful wife, his wife shouldn't be young anymore. How would you flirt with such a lady?
"You bastard! How dare you say that to me!" The old man was angry and shouted whilst pointing at Xu Que.
"So what? It seems you are not happy with me. So how about a duel here?" Xu Que smiled shamelessly.
At the same time, he had already absorbed all the purple thunder and lightning from the second Heavenly Tribulation into his body. Now a fifth of the thunder essence in his Dantian was purple. For him, this Heavenly Tribulation had been really fruitful.
The old man was shaking with anger. If he had not been afraid of the thunder tribulation, he would have accepted the challenge of Xu Que.
However, the Heavenly Tribulation for Xu Que was still not finished. The old man didn't dare to come close to him. Xu Que was not afraid of the thunder tribulation, but he was.
"Hum! You callow youth, don't try to fool me by provoking me! Enjoy your happy hours! It's rotten luck that you can escape this time, for you will die miserably if the overseas person comes to you personally," the old man snorted gloomily.
"Those overseas people are nothing for me. This sneak attack arranged by them demonstrates their foolishness. I could defeat a hundred low-grade cultivators like you in one minute!" Xu Que smiled coldly with fiery eyes. He didn't care about the bounty that had been offered by the overseas people for his death.
Standing high in the sky, he was just like a god, someone mighty and magnificent!
Boom!
Just at this moment, Xu Que had hardly finished his words when a tiny streak of golden lightning slashed down from the sky suddenly.
Bang!
Without any warning, the golden lightning slashed down quickly and menacingly.
Xu Que had no time to evade it. The golden lightning slashed his shoulder directly, and shot him down like a kite with a broken string.
Boom! Xu Que fell on the hilltop heavily, shaking the ground a bit and generating a lot of dust.
His dashing posture had lasted even less than three seconds.
Immediately the whole area fell silent again.
Everyone was totally stunned and full of terror.
"The golden lightning? Is… it the Ancient Catastrophe recorded in the ancient books? How could it be here?"
"My God! He has even attracted the Ancient Catastrophe!"
"The golden lightning was so small. However, the Ancient Catastrophe has the power to destroy Buddha and the Heavens!"
"It's over! This is the Heavens' will."
"The Heavens can't tolerate his existence. Therefore, the Heavens have ignored the cultivation stages and have just unleashed all kinds of fierce Heavenly Tribulations… to kill him!"
…
"Xu Que!" The Water Empress was also shocked. She shouted Xu Que's name and flew over to check whether Xu Que was still alive.
This golden lightning had been the Ancient Catastrophe, which was designed to eliminate Buddha and the Heavens.
A cultivator at the Original Infant Stage would never be able to withstand the golden lightning, even it was just a very tiny bolt of it. The Water Empress wouldn't even be able to ensure her survival if she had to face the golden lightning.
After being shot down, Xu Que fell silent and didn't reply to the Water Empress's calls.
All of a sudden, everyone was stunned.
Could… he die like this?
He has endured the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud. Has he been killed by such a tiny but sudden attack of the Ancient Catastrophe at last?

471 Heavenly Trial? It is Just a Piece of Cake to Me!
Chapter 471: Heavenly Trial? It is Just a Piece of Cake to Me!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Things just happened so fast. Just a few minutes ago, Xu Que was still standing at the top of the mountain, acting tough! Then, the golden lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere. No one saw it coming.
After Xu Que was struck by the golden lightning, he fell into the valley. Since this all happened so fast, most of the observers could not believe what just happened. No one believed that Xu Que could survive something like that since even a God or a Buddha could be killed by the golden lightning.
Although many people did not like Xu Que, they still felt a bit sorry for him. After all, this young man who had survived the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud had just been killed by a tiny golden lightning. What a pity! Still, there were also a group of people laughing about Xu Que's death. One person who was laughing was the old man.
"Haha! This is providence! This is providence!" the old man said excitedly. "Since he survived the second Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud, he accidently increased the power of the Heavenly Trial. The way I see it, he was lucky to be killed by the Ancient Catastrophe."
Hearing this, many people looked at the old man resentfully.
This old booby is really cruel! How can he laugh about a thing like this?!
Making fun of someone who just died is really uncalled for!
Although General Zhuge was not that nice, he still made many contributions to the Water Nation. He restored the entire country. He also created the hamburgers and ice cream, which helped many people. Yes, the hamburgers and ice cream are a bit expensive, but since it is such a powerful medicine, the price is very reasonable.
Although people were very angry with the old man's words, they did not dare speak their minds. After all, the old man was in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage. Only the Water Empress would be able to defeat him.
Meanwhile, the Water Empress was looking into the valley. Her eyes were sparkling. She was using her Spirit Strength to search for Xu Que.
Bang!
The thundercloud was tumbling in the air. From time to time, a few tiny golden lightning bolts appeared. The people were surprised.
"My goodness! Why on earth hasn't the Heavenly Trial stopped yet?!"
"Can it be possible that General Zhuge is still alive?"
"He has not died yet?"
"He must be dead. I saw him get struck by that golden lightning."
"So did I."
The old man's smile vanished. "This is impossible!" he said. "That young man cannot still be alive."
The old man was upset, but the Water Empress was relieved. The Heavenly Trial was still ongoing, which meant that Xu Que was still alive. She also knew he was alive because her Spirit Strength sensed his existence.
"Xu Que, can you hear me?" the Water Empress said, gently moving her lips.
"Yes I can!" Xu Que replied.
She could tell that Xu Que was angry.
"Go to the Temple of Heaven before the third Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud arrives!"
"No! How dare the Heavenly Trial sneak-attack me! I am not done with it yet!"
The Water Empress was stunned.
Bang!
A figure jumped out of the valley. It was stepping on a lightning bolt and making a loud noise.
All of a sudden, everyone was shocked.
"Holy sh*t! It's General Zhuge!"
"He's still alive!"
"How did he manage to survive?!"
"Look! There is blood on his clothes! He's injured!"
Xu Que jumped high into the sky while holding his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
What is he going to do?!
Doesn't he realize he is injured? Does he intend to receive the golden lightning? Is he insane?!
The Water Empress could no longer suppress her emotions and sent a message.
"Xu Que, stop!"
"I will be fine!" Xu Que replied.
Since Xu Que failed to dodge the golden lightning, his shoulder was burnt severely. However, thanks to his Acting Tough System, it only took him an hour and a few Acting Tough Points to recover. Because the golden lightning had struck him by surprise, he had not been able to absorb its energy. This made him furious.
"F*ck! The Heavenly Trial is indeed shameless! But I do not think you have the balls to attack me again!" Xu Que shouted to the sky. He was wearing his Spirit Visage and Banshee's Veil.
Seeing this, the people all took a deep breath.
I have never seen anyone like him! How dare he provoke the heavens while he is injured?!
Bang!
The thundercloud roared, and the number of golden lightning bolts suddenly increased.
Although each lightning bolt was tiny, it was extremely frightening. The people watching were so scared that they were all sweating like pigs.
"Come at me!" Xu Que shouted. His long black hair was flowing in the wind, as were his clothes. He looked extremely courageous.
This time, he was indeed angry. His Dark Heavy Buster Sword was now surrounded by the Eight Waste Destruction Flame.
Bang!
A pair of Black Flamed Wings grew out from his back. The wings were ten feet long and looked magnificent.
Bang!
Three golden lightning bolts that looked exactly like snakes fell from the sky and flew toward Xu Que.
Crash!
Xu Que held up his Dark Heavy Buster Sword in one hand and the People Killing Sword of All Layers in the other. He then used the Flame Devouring Wave with his swords and cut through the lightning bolts.
Bang!
Xu Que was shaken by the explosion wave and fell onto the ground. The Black Flamed Wings on his back were destroyed as well.
The three golden lightning bolts that he had sliced through were broken into pieces and were slowly falling. Xu Que began to absorb them into his body.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
The golden lightning bolts of the Ancient Catastrophe that could even kill a God and a Buddha were broken into pieces!
Xu Que spit out a bit of blood. This was not because he could not withstand absorbing the power of the golden lightning, but because he had been badly injured when he counterattacked the lightning earlier.
Although the lightning bolts were tiny and looked weak, Xu Que was surprised at how powerful they were. The golden lighting was much more powerful than the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud. Even though he had multiplied the power of the People Killing Sword of All Layers by thirty, he was still hurt by the lightning.
"System, activate Automatic Healing and give me the Negative Cloak. I will destroy the golden lightning completely."
Xu Que put on the Negative Cloak and wiped away the blood stain on his mouth. He looked coldly at the sky.
The people all held their breath and looked at him surprise.
Is he going to fight again while he is so badly injured?!
"Heavenly Trial? It is just a piece of cake to me!" Xu Que sneered.
"Thousands of disasters and hundreds of hardships throughout the centuries all end in the blink of an eye to me! My immortal body and undestroyable soul overshadows everyone! I shall wait till the moment when the balance between the Yin and Yang is destroyed, then I will wash the heavens with my blood! Heavenly Trial? Ancient Catastrophe? Bring it on!"

472 It’s OK, It’s OK!
Chapter 472: It’s OK, It’s OK!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Come on!"
Xu Que's roar was deafening! His speech echoed in the minds of the onlookers.
Thousands of disasters and hundreds of hardships throughout the centuries all end in the blink of an eye to me! My immortal body and undestroyable soul overshadows everyone! I shall wait till the moment when the balance between the Yin and Yang is destroyed, then I will wash the heavens with my blood!
These domineering, ambitious, heart-shaking words left everyone completely dumbfounded.
'Thousands of disasters and hundreds of hardships throughout the centuries…' Does he really mean it?
'Immortal body and undestroyable soul overshadowing everyone…' These words are strong.
Is this the road that General Zhuge intends to take?
He is not afraid of the Heavenly Tribulation. He is uninhibited. He doesn't even care about the God.
People like him could be eradicated by the God, or… maybe he will really be unprecedented and unstoppable!
The road for this powerhouse is way too frightening.
"What kind of ambition and courage must he have to say these outrageous words?" one cultivator murmured in the crowd.
"Is he…really uninhibited?"
"How could such a person exist in this world?"
The onlookers had never seen such a fearless person, let alone a fearless person who was still a young man. Even the Water Empress was standing there in a daze.
The Water Empress was doomed to a hapless fate when she was born. As a person who could bring ill omen, her fate was determined by the God. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change her fate.
But now, Xu Que was courageous enough to yell these words at the sky, which shocked her severely. Xu Que might have been the only person in this world who dared to be disrespectful to the God.
The Water Empress was lost in thought. A sentence from Xu Que's speech continued to repeat in her head.
'I shall wait till the moment when the balance between the Yin and Yang is destroyed, then I will wash the heavens with my blood…'
Rumble!
The thunder cloud above Xu Que's head started to surge and roar again. Again, countless golden lightning bolts were gathering. For the onlookers, the radiance of the lightning bolts was dazzling and suffocating.
However, Xu Que shouted abruptly, "Are you timid? Give me something stronger. Such a tiny amount of lightning is a total waste of my time!"
Boom!
He had hardly finished his words when a big bang came in from the sky. More than ten golden lightning bolts slashed down with irresistible force.
"Hmph! A piece of cake!" Xu Que snorted.
With the Black Heavy Buster Sword in hand, he jumped up according to the Walk of Yu. He gave a display of Six Corporeal Forms in the sky to resist the tribulation with numerous sword shadows.
Bang!
Another explosion occurred in the sky.
Xu Que was entirely wrapped in the dazzling golden light. The light was rippling outward. He was engulfed in powerful air waves like hurricanes. The onlookers had to squint their eyes and raise their arms to shield themselves from the light and air waves.
After several breaths, the radiance faded away and Xu Que's figure appeared in the sky. A strand of blood appeared on the corner of his lips. However, Xu Que remained standing. After purchasing the Negative Cloak from the System, he could finally withstand the power of the golden lightning.
All the onlookers were frightened.
Before, one golden lightning bolt severely injured General Zhuge. Next, three golden lightning bolts blew him off and made him spit blood. Now, after more than ten golden lightning bolts fell on him simultaneously, he only spit out some blood. He was not blown off!
"What happened?" someone shouted with widened eyes. "Why is he becoming stronger under the attack of those lightning bolts?"
At this moment, Xu Que was absorbing the dispersed golden lightning bolts like crazy by opening all the pores in his body and playing the Hell King's Prison Suppression Style. He kept absorbing the golden lightning bolts to strengthen his physique. When his physique was fully strengthened, he stored the rest of the energy in his Dantian.
The extremely powerful thunder essence in his Dantian started to emit a golden light. However, this didn't satisfy Xu Que at all. He wanted to absorb as much energy from the golden lightning as possible.
"Is this the Ancient Catastrophe?" Xu Que yelled. "It couldn't even kill me! How dare you say it could kill a Buddha or a God? How shameless you are! Come on, give me more!" He smiled coldly, pointing the Black Heavy Buster Sword at the sky again.
The onlookers had become numb to his behaviors. Xu Que couldn't shock them anymore.
Boom!
The thunder clouds in the sky kept gathering. The power and momentum were much stronger than before.
"No, this is still too weak!"
Xu Que shook his head in disappointment. He then looked at the foot of the hill abruptly.
"Where is that old guy?" he said. Then he spotted him. "There you are! Please help me again! Bring me more Lightning Attracting Bees. This rubbish Heavenly Tribulation might be a fake one. It is too weak to strengthen me!"
The corners of the onlookers' mouths twitched involuntarily out of embarrassment.
A fake Heavenly Tribulation? Too weak?
D*mn! You were injured just now, OK? This is for sure the Ancient Catastrophe!
The old man was clenching his fists tightly and his face was ghastly pale. He didn't know what kind of person he was dealing with. He only knew the young man on the hilltop was an absolute monster.
He hadn't thought that Xu Que could withstand the first Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud, let alone the Ancient Catastrophe! But now he knew that Xu Que could cross this Heavenly Tribulation easily.
When Xu Que was experiencing the thunder tribulation, he had enhanced the tribulation with the Lightning Attracting Bees. When Xu Que did this, he didn't die, but instead became even stronger. The Lightning Attracting Bees only assisted him. Now, here Xu Que was again, asking the old man to bring him more Lightning Attracting Bees.
The old man instantly shivered with anger.
Sh*t! Where am I supposed to find Lightning Attracting Bees? The only reason I had them in the first place was because they were offered to me by the Jiang Family!
"D*mn! Old man, why are you in a daze?" Xu Que cursed at the old man. "Why are you shivering? Are you having seizure or something? Just bring me some Lightning Attracting Bees!" The thunder tribulation was approaching. If he failed to enhance the difficulty now, this opportunity would be wasted.
All the onlookers were mentally exhausted by Xu Que's words. They had only ever heard of people trying to lower the difficulty and power of the tribulation. This was the first time someone had ever wanted to enhance the power of the tribulation.
This awesome General Zhuge is really unconventional in his methods of crossing the Heavenly Tribulation!
"Hmph, you callow youth. I would have already released the Lightning Attracting Bees in hopes to kill you if I had any more," the old man said angrily.
Hearing this, Xu Que was stunned.
D*mn! He has run out of Lightning Attracting Bees!
"Sh*t! Did you do this deliberately?" Xu Que shouted with widened eyes. "Did you bring only a few Lightning Attracting Bees on purpose? You definitely look down upon me!"
Hearing these words, the old man was so angry that he was ready to curse at Xu Que. If he had known that Xu Que was so powerful before, he would have brought 100 bags of Lightning Attracting Bees with him!
"Well, since you don't have any Lightning Attracting Bees, there is only one way for me to strengthen the tribulation now," Xu Que said abruptly, staring at the old man.
Immediately the old man felt a shiver down his spine.
"What…are you going to do?"
"Nothing," Xu Que said, blinking innocently.
Suddenly, Xu Que's figure turned into many willow leaves, disappearing on the spot. The next moment, Xu Que silently appeared behind the old man. He grabbed the old man and slung him over his shoulder.
"Ah! What are you doing? How dare you!" the old man said, frightened. He started to shout and tried to attack Xu Que with his magic arts.
Xu Que suddenly took out the Black Heavy Buster Sword and hit the old man's head with it. Bang! The old man lost consciousness immediately.
"Take it easy! It's OK, it's OK!" Xu Que said, consoling the unconscious old man with smile. Xu Que started to run towards the hilltop, carrying the old man over his shoulder.
Seeing this scene, all the onlookers were totally dumbfounded.

473 It Will Be fine!
Chapter 473: It Will Be fine!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que had teleported to the foot of the Mountain of Imperial Tomb by reciting a magic inscription he learned in the Sky Incense Valley. When the old man had begun to struggle, he hit the old man with the blunt end of his sword and carried him up to the top of the mountain.
By the time the onlookers had processed what had happened, Xu Que had already reached the top of the mountain.
"Geez! He is going to increase the power of the Heavenly Trial with the help of the old man's Level Field."
"That old man is in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage. How dare he do such a thing!"
"Wait a minute. The way he hit that old man looked very ordinary. Why on earth didn't the old man fight back?!"
"It seems that we have underestimated General Zhuge's power."
"Anyway, now that the old man is with him, the power of the Heavenly Trial is going to increase significantly."
"And that old man is doomed! But of course, that old man has to pay the price for his actions."
Seeing the old man being carried to the top of the mountain, no one felt sympathetic for the old man. After all, he had attacked Xu Que earlier.
The Water Empress was a bit surprised by Xu Que, but she was also relieved. Just as she had suspected, Xu Que never did things he was not sure about. So, no matter how powerful this Heavenly Trial became, she would no longer worry about Xu Que.
Meanwhile, the thundercloud above Xu Que's head suddenly stopped tumbling. With the old man next to Xu Que, the thundercloud began to re-evaluate the power of the two "sufferers."
Throughout the centuries, whenever a person would go through the Heavenly Trial, they were never allowed to call on someone else for help. This is because if another person tried to help, the thundercloud would target that person as another sufferer; thus, the power of the Heavenly Trial would double.
This was why the Water Empress chose not to get too close to Xu Que earlier. She was afraid that if she did, she would put Xu Que in a much more dangerous situation.
Xu Que had fully absorbed the energy of the golden lightning. His body had been greatly enhanced. Besides, with the help of his Negative Cloak, he would not die, no matter how severely injured he was.
Xu Que had decided to face the thundercloud again so he could absorb more of the golden lightning's energy. He wanted to act tough in front of everyone and make good use of this opportunity to purify the essence of lightning inside his body. He didn't care what price he would have to pay.
"How dare you!" the old man shouted as soon as he woke up. "How dare you sneak-attack me!"
Xu Que loosened his hands and the old man dropped to the ground.
"Who said I sneak-attacked you?! I conked you out in broad daylight."
The old man was furious. He was so mad that his face even turned blue. Suddenly, the old man felt the frightening pressure of the thundercloud above him, which scared him half to death. He looked up into the sky.
"No! No! No!" the old man cried.
The thundercloud was so close to the old man that if he reached up he could touch it with his fingers. He was now desperate and cried like a child. For him, being dragged into this Heavenly Trial was tantamount to a death sentence.
"Do not cry. You will be fine," Xu Que said with a laugh. Xu Que was amazed at how frightened the old man was.
The old man was extremely angry and stared at Xu Que.
I will be fine?! Nonsense! the old man thought.
"Young man, I won't let you get away with this! I will cut you into pieces before I die!" the old man shouted.
A green fog appeared around the old man's finger. The fog quickly changed into sharp green leaves that shone in a cold light.
"I see you come from the Wood Nation," Xu Que smiled, "but fire can burn your wood you know."
All of a sudden, a black flame appeared on Xu Que's palm. As suddenly and forceful as water spurting out of a fountain, countless sharp leaves quickly flew towards Xu Que. However, the black flame in Xu Que's palm had turned into a black wall of fire. As soon as the leaves touched the flaming wall, they all turned into smoke and completely vanished.
"This is impossible!" said the old man, shocked. He backed up a few steps.
For as long as the old man had lived, he had been famous for being able to perform a marvelous ability called the Life and Death Leave. The old man had killed countless cultivators with this ability. It had always worked for him—up until now that is. The old man could not believe that Xu Que had survived it.
"Calm down." Xu Que said. "The Heavenly Trial is going to come. Go through it with me. You will be fine."
Xu Que extinguished his Eight Waste Destruction Flame and looked at the sky. The sky was now as dark as ink. The thundercloud that was surrounded by the magnificent golden lightning was almost touching their heads. Xu Que was still wearing a smile on his face, while the old man was frightened out of his wits.
"You'll be fine." Xu Que comforted the old man.
"General Zhuge, please let me go. If you let me go, the Heavenly Trial will be even easier for you. Please do not kill me! I know you can master the Heavenly Trial, just let me go! I will remember your mercy to me all my life if you just let me go!"
"No worries! You will be fine! I'll make sure of it," Xu Que nodded.
"Are you serious?" The old man frowned.
"Of course!"
Bang!
The thundercloud roared. Countless golden lightning bolts were crawling through the cloud. Before either of them could react, one of the lightning bolts touched the old man's head.
Bang!
The old man was blasted away and fell to the ground with a thud. He screamed out in great pain. His head was bleeding severely. If he was in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage, he would have died on the spot.
The old man started to chant some magic words to heal the wound on his head. It was common for a person of the Wood Nation to be able to heal themselves with Wood Energy.
"General Zhuge, stop the thundercloud immediately!" the old man said harshly while glaring at Xu Que.
"Here, I have something for you," Xu Que said. "This is called a lightning rod!"
Xu Que smiled and threw a needle to the old man. The old man was surprised.
A lightning rod? This is just an iron needle? Will it work?!
"Are you sure?!" the old man asked.
"Yes! Believe me, you will be fine."
Bang!
The thundercloud roared again. Suddenly, a golden lightning bolt whized out of the cloud and flew towards the old man.
"What?!" The old man shouted, backing away in terror. "General Zhuge, what is happening! That bolt almost struck me!"
"Don't worry. You will be fine."
Bang!
At once, a golden lightning bolt shot out and penetrated the old man. In the blink of an eye, his whole body turned into a ball of bloody fog and was blown away by the wind.
He just… vanished
Seeing this, the onlookers were speechless.

474 If You Are Not a Coward, Don“t Just Finish It!
Chapter 474: If You Are Not a Coward, Don't Just Finish It!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was difficult for the onlookers to process what had just happened.
Just a second ago, General Zhuge was consoling the old man and telling him that he would be OK. Seeing this, the crowd was touched. They didn't expect General Zhuge to show such kindness, especially seeing as this old man had attempted to kill him in the past. However, none of them had expected what would happen after General Zhuge gave the iron needle to the old man.
All the onlookers had stared with wide eyes as they witnessed a golden lightning bolt fly towards the iron needle, strike the old man, and cause him to be obliterated. All sorts of thoughts were now going through their minds.
Why wasn't the lightning arrester functional?
He promised the old man would be OK, right? Why was he still killed?
The onlookers were totally stunned and looked at Xu Que dumbfoundedly. Xu Que stood on the hilltop with a smile.
"Oh, I forgot to tell him the correct way to use a lightning arrester," Xu Que shouted while scratching the back of his head. "It should be placed on the roof of a house. It doesn't work if you just hold it in your hand. But it's OK; now I will continue to cross the Heavenly Tribulation!"
Hearing this, the onlookers were ready to spit blood.
The lightning arrester should have been placed on a roof? D*mn! He was on a hill in the Imperial Tomb. Where would he ever have found a roof? You cheated him! As a level six of the Infant Transformation State, that poor old man was killed in such a foolish way…
People shook their heads. They should have known better than to think that General Zhuge could be so kind-hearted.
Lightning arrester!? Your promise that he would be OK was just another one of your tricks!
…
Rumble!
The thunderclouds in the sky started to surge again. The thunderclouds were gathering and lightning was about to pour down.
Looking at the sky with determined eyes, Xu Que raised his hands. Three strands of strange flames appeared in front of him. Ice and fire were mingled together. The flames created a distorted void in front of him.
Immediately, the Heavenly Tribulation became extremely intense. Xu Que's three strange flames were also raging. Xu Que closed his fist and abruptly grabbed the three strange flames in his palm. He then mingled the three flames by quickly flipping his fingers around. After several breaths, a florid, three-colored Fiery Lotus was floating in his palm.
Boom!
Golden light burst from the sky. Many golden lightning bolts dashed towards Xu Que like a suspended river in the Nine Heaven.
"Hmph!" Xu Que snorted. "I will break those pathetic Heavenly Tribulations apart!
Xu Que threw the three-colored Fiery Lotus into the sky. The attack directly hit one golden lightning bolt.
Bang!
After a world-shaking bang, the whole sky was filled with flames. Xu Que's three-colored Fiery Lotus was turned into a sky-covering flame sea. The explosive attack smashed countless golden lightning bolts into small pieces which fell from the sky.
Once again, Xu Que had defeated an intense Heavenly Tribulation in one fell swoop.
The onlookers couldn't believe what they saw. No one dared to question Xu Que's strength. Before, some people were afraid that Xu Que would be killed in this Heavenly Tribulation. Now, no one was afraid of this happening.
This guy is not crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, but instead is using it as an opportunity to strengthen his physique like crazy.
Rustle! Rustle!
Numerous tiny golden lightning bolts were dispersed in the sky like a golden rain, all of which were absorbed by Xu Que.
The thunder essence in his Dantian was already a little bit golden and, as such, was even more powerful than the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud.
"Come on! Continue!" Xu Que yelled at the sky, raising his head. "This is just the fifth tribulation! If you are not a coward, just give me all nine tribulations right now!"
He had crossed the 59 Heavenly Tribulations successfully. However, he was not satisfied at all. He wanted to force the God to attract the 99 Heavenly Tribulations like last time so that he could absorb more thunder essence.
However, this time the God just ignored him. When the golden lightning bolts were broken apart and absorbed, the thunderclouds began to disperse quickly and stopped preparing new thunder tribulations.
Xu Que was angry. He continued to shout, "If you are not a coward, don't just finish it. I have just finished my warm-up! You can't just leave! Come on, give me more!"
The thundercloud showed no signs of reforming.
"Sh*t! Don't ignore me! Thundercloud, don't just disperse! Just attack me! I'll put one of my hands behind my back! D*mn! How about both hands?"
Still, the thundercloud was dispersing further and further away from Xu Que.
"OK, OK! I will take off my protective artifacts and fight you with my bare hands! Sh*t! Don't make me fill the sky with exploding flames again!"
The more Xu Que shouted, the more worried he became. Even when Xu Que threatened to engulf the sky in flames yet again, the Heavenly Tribulation continued to retreat without any hesitation, ignoring him completely.
"Stop! You coward!" Xu Que was very anxious. Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation was a rare opportunity, an opportunity that he only got at the beginning of each cultivation stage. He didn't have many opportunities like this left. If this tribulation ended prematurely, it would be a big loss for him.
Xu Que jumped up into the sky with the three-colored Fiery Lotus in his hand. He began to chase the thunder clouds.
All the onlookers were shocked.
What kind of person is this guy?
He is too d*mn scary and strange. He is chasing the thunderclouds. It seems that he frightened those thunderclouds away.
…
Meanwhile, in a place several hills away from Xu Que, Buttface also witnessed this scene on the hilltop. Immediately, he widened his two dog eyes, dumbfounded.
"H*ll, what is this? Could this still be considered crossing the Heavenly Tribulation? It seems the thunderclouds are crossing the tribulation of that guy! Man, I need a piece of smelly Tofu to steady my nerves!"
…
In the end, Xu Que's plan to irritate the God failed. Although he chased the thunderclouds and bombarded the sky with the three-colored Fiery Lotus, the thunder clouds disappeared high up into the air and left Xu Que with nothing.
Xu Que landed on the hilltop ruefully.
"Pah! Maybe this was a fake Heavenly Tribulation! It was too easy!"
The crowd was silent.
"…"
If that was too easy, what kind of Heavenly Tribulation could satisfy him?
Despite the intense scenes the onlookers had just witnessed, they were glad that General Zhuge was in good health after the trial.
"Good! General Zhuge survived. We can enjoy burgers and ice cream with him in the future!"
"Yeah! It seems the God has had mercy on us and didn't kill him."
"Thank God!" someone said, thanking the God sincerely.
However, Xu Que heard this person's words and said scornfully, "Don't bother. I will explode this sh*tty God sooner or later!"
Not minding Xu Que's exclamation, the Water Empress flew over and greeted Xu Que with a smile.
"Little guy, congratulations! I underestimated your strength," she said.
"It's nothing, Xu Que said modestly, smiling. "I got lucky today. I shall appreciate the blessing of this God!"
The onlookers were dumbfounded again.
Hold on. Didn't he just say that he was going to explode that God?
Why is he so modest in front of the Water Empress?
Did he just say he will appreciate the blessing of this God?
Holy sh*t! I can't believe these words are really coming out of General Zhuge's mouth!
He can't be the real General Zhuge!
As the onlookers watched Xu Que speechlessly, Xu Que flew away from the hilltop by putting his hands behind his back and standing on a lightning bolt, flying in the direction of the Imperial Palace. He arrived at the Imperial Palace at the same time as the Water Empress.
This Heavenly Tribulation had been very fruitful for Xu Que. He had earned over 5,000 Acting Tough Points, and his total amount of Acting Tough Points had now exceeded 56,000, which made him a rich man.
The thunder essence in his Dantian was also purified now, which made him much stronger than before. Now his Monkey Blocks Lightning was even more powerful than the three-colored Fiery Lotus.
Moreover, after being strengthened by the golden lighting bolts, his physique was also stronger than before.
Because of this, Xu Que approached Buttface and asked for a duel. Buttface immediately shook his head.
"No, I'm afraid that if I make any false moves, I'll kill you!"
"You're right," Xu Que sighed.
Although Xu Que's physique was strong, he knew clearly that his physique was no match for the invincible body of Buttface. A normal attack from Buttface could kill him, or at least severely wound him.
However, Xu Que wanted to duel Buttface anyway. Therefore, in order to prevent Buttface from fighting back and to ensure fair play, Buttface was bound on the wall like a dog-shaped sandbag.
Buttface screamed miserably for the whole night in the Imperial Palace as Xu Que unleashed his power on Buttface without holding back.

475 Chapter 475
Chapter 475: Chapter 475
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The next morning, Xu Que decided to visit the Water Empress. He was feeling very energetic and happy.
He was very excited. In the past, he always felt pain when he hit Buttface with his hands. However, he had been pummeling Buttface the whole night and did not feel any pain until a few hours into the duel.
This meant that his body had been greatly enhanced. Soon his body would be as invincible as the God. He just had to fully develop all the other characteristics of his Hell King's Prison Suppression Style.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
"Young lady, it's me."
"Come in please."
Xu Que opened the door and walked into the Water Empress' bedroom. He noticed that she was reading a ancient book. It looked like a book filled with magic inscriptions. The Water Empress casually placed the book on the table.
"Young lady," Xu Que said, "I want to take an adventure to the Imperial Tomb of the Water Nation and get revenge on Duan Jiude."
The Water Empress smiled. "I used to think that going to the Imperial Tomb was too dangerous for you, but after seeing your performance yesterday, I know you will be fine. So go and do as you please."
"Thank you. You have not even seen me at full strength, you know. I am much more powerful than you can ever imagine. I have many skills and talents. For example, I am a professional at Doggy Style and Picking the Grapes. We can do it together when you have time!" Xu Que said with a pure smile.
"Good!" The Water Empress said innocently as she smiled.
Xu Que could tell that she was bothered by something. Maybe she was worrying about the Dragon Veins.
"Right… A few days ago, I found a new Dragon Vein," Xu Que said, "though it is not as powerful as the one we have right now. Still, the more Dragon Veins you get, the more powerful the protection of the Water Nation will be."
"There is no need to rush," the Water Empress said. "You can transfer the Dragon Vein after you collect all five Holy Herbs."
While it is true that the Dragon Vein would benefit the country, the changes it would bring about would be extremely gradual. The influence of the Dragon Vein wouldn't be evident for a long time. Thus, the Water Empress didn't feel the need for Xu Que to transfer the Dragon Vein right away.
"Young lady," Xu Que said, concerned, "what's bothering you? You look very preoccupied. Would you mind telling me?" Xu Que asked, smiling as he sat opposite her.
He looked at the book the Water Empress was reading earlier. It was called One Turning into Three Pure Pellucid Ones.
Seriously?! I never thought she would have a portion of that book too!
Earlier, when he bought the Zhai Bao Ge, he accidently got the third chapter of One Turning into Three Pure Pellucid Ones. The System had told him that it was a Star Rank item, which meant it was ranked even higher than Celestial Rank.
However, he was disappointed when he found that it could not help him create three doppelgängers. Later, he found that it could only help to change one's fate, which was of no use to him at all, so he lost interest in it.
"Don't worry," the Water Empress said. "I am only in the bottleneck period of my magic inscription cultivation."
"Are you talking about the magic inscription in the book on your table?"
The Water Empress nodded. "That's right. You can read it if you like. There are some lines about the Taoism which I think are really good. But remember, never try to do the cultivation based on its magic inscriptions."
"As far as I am concerned, it belongs to the Star Rank, which is a very high rank. You would just lend it to me like this?" Xu Que pretended he was very surprised.
Hearing this, the Water Empress was a bit stunned. "You know of this book? Yes, it is of high rank, but it has been divided into six chapters. I have been trying to collect all the chapters over the years, but I've only managed to get the first and the second chapters so far. As for the rest chapters, I am afraid they have been buried in the river of history and can never to be found. This is why you should never do the cultivation based on the magic inscriptions. It's not worth it to do so."
"Sorry, I can't agree with you on this," Xu Que said. "As the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way. You never know what you can achieve until you try your best."
The rest of the chapters cannot be found? Haha, that's funny. I happen to have the third chapter!
"You are indeed a positive person," the Water Empress said, "but I am afraid the rest of the chapters cannot be found. My parents spent their whole lives searching for them, yet we've only found the first and the second chapters. As for the third chapter, even I have no idea where it is. I don't think it will be possible for me to find the rest of the four chapters in this life."
Hearing this, Xu Que finally knew why the Water Empress was feeling upset. She didn't think she would be able to find the rest of the chapters.
"Last time, the Ice Queen told me that you are unfortunate, but I don't agree with her. Why do you want to do the cultivation based on the magic inscriptions in this book?" he asked.
Hearing this, the Water Empress went silent. After a while, she raised up her head and looked at Xu Que.
"I am indeed unfortunate."
"It's fine. I am with you now, you will be OK," Xu Que said.
Hearing this, the Water Empress smiled and gently nodded. He was about to touch her head with his hands, but the Water Empress looked so demure and elegant that he felt too embarrassed to touch her.
You are not convinced that the other chapters can be found? Xu Que thought. Well, it seems that I have to put more effort into my words!
"Young lady, let me do some magic for you."
"Magic?" The Water Empress was a bit confused.
"I can conjure up anything you want. But in return, you have to promise me something. It is completely fair, I assure you."
"You can really conjure up anything I want?" she asked, a bit interested. The Water Empress smiled. She did not have high expectations. Besides, she knew that this sort of magic did not even exist.
"If I manage to conjure up the thing you want, you have to promise me one thing, since performing this magic takes a lot of energy. Using so much energy all at once could even shorten my lifespan," Xu Que said rather seriously.
Does this magic really exist? the Water Empress thought in surprise.
"Little guy, if what you say is true, then I forbid you to perform this magic," the Water Empress said, shaking her head. She did not want Xu Que to take such a great risk.
"I will be fine. As long as you can promise me this one thing, I will be fine," Xu Que said.
"Then, tell me, what do you want me to promise?" the Water Empress said gently. She still did not believe this was true.
Hearing this, Xu Que smiled. "If you give yourself to me, I shall move the Earth."

476 Ah! I am Dying!
Chapter 476: Ah! I am Dying!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Xu Que said 'If you give yourself to me, I shall move the Earth,' the
Water Empress was shocked.
"Are you asking for the throne?" She asked, puzzled
She didn't understand Xu Que's words and was having trouble thinking of what else they could have meant.
But wait. Xu Que couldn't be asking for the throne. If he really wanted to rule over a nation, he would have proclaimed himself emperor when he was in the Fire Nation. Maybe he just needed her help?
"Little guy, you want me to lend you a hand in order to help you, right?" the Water Empress asked in a soft voice, smiling slightly.
Xu Que was overjoyed. Lend a hand to me? I didn't expect the elegant and conservative Water Empress to be so open! She even wants to use her hands!
He replied by nodding his head hurriedly. "A hand would be fine!"
For the first time, she can use hand. Next time, she can use her mouth. This is totally acceptable for me as an Acting Tough King!
"This thing that you will move, the Earth. What is the Earth? Is it so heavy that you need my help to pry it up?" the Water Empress asked with a smile, for she hadn't figured out Xu Que's filthy thoughts.
What? Xu Que thought. Now I know we are not talking about the same subject! What the h*ll? As a handsome Acting Tough King, why is it so difficult for me to flirt with a girl?
"Ahem, the Earth is just…a planet, which can't be seen from here," Xu Que said ruefully.
"You want to pry up a planet? With what?"
This little guy is really unusual! she thought. Why would anyone want to pry a planet up? He talks about lifting a planet like it's very small, but planets are in fact very big. What kind of tool in this world could be used to pry a planet up?
"Ah, it's just a metaphor." Xu Que said. "As for the tool I will use to pry it up, it definitely will be my…body!"
He couldn't allow himself to break the rule that "d*ck" was a forbidden word. Therefore, he used "body" to replace it. Xu Que was so excited that he was about to point at the area between his legs.
The Water Empress was very confused and couldn't figure out what Xu Que menat. She had no idea that he was from Earth and was practically the king of filthy thoughts. Despite her confusion, she looked at Xu Que with a calm smile.
Now that the Water Empress was staring at him, Xu Que was a little bit nervous.
"OK, OK, I'll take that as a consent," he said prudishly. "I will start to cast the spell. Please step aside so you don't get hurt!"
Xu Que readied himself, taking the Horse Stance. He then cast a spell randomly by stomping the earth with one foot, just like a crappy fortune teller who was inviting God. Xu Que then opened his eyes and gave an abrupt shout.
"Spirits! Follow the ancient covenant with my essence and blood! Hear my whisper and break the boundary of time and space!"
Xu Que then murmured some weird words, all in apparent seriousness.
The Water Empress thought Xu Que was joking at the very beginning. However, seeing how serious Xu Que's face was and hearing the mysterious words he uttered, began to second guess herself.
Could it be that he really knows a magic art which can conjure up anything he wants?
"I call upon the covenant! I request with the bloodline! With my body as the tool and with my soul as sacrifice! Hear my words and fight for me!"
Xu Que continued to chant. Then he put his palms together abruptly and shouted, "Come out! Part Three of One Turning into Three Pure Pellucid Ones!"
Whoosh!
A jade slip instantly appeared. It was surrounded by a faint green halo. The slip flew out of his palm and floated in front of him.
"This…" The Water Empress was dumbfounded. She really thought Xu Que used some kind of formidable magic art to obtain Part Three of One Turning Into Three Pure Pellucid Ones.
But… this was way too ridiculous! She had never heard of such a miraculous magic art existing in this world.
"Oh, no! I am suffering from internal injuries!" At this moment, Xu Que sat on the ground, pressing his hands over his chest. His acting skills were d*mn good!
The Water Empress had no time to suspect. She bent over Xu Que, worried.
"What's the matter?" she asked with a furrowed brow.
"Nothing, just leave me alone. Please check whether it is Part Three of One Turning Into Three Pure Pellucid Ones," Xu Que said with fearless expression.
Shaking her head, the Water Empress took out a pill with her slim fingers and handed it to Xu Que.
"You are too reckless!" she said. "If you can really conjure up anything you want as you said, the cost must be very high. I can't sense the injury in your body, but take this Vital Force Pill. I hope it's helpful."
"I'm really OK. Just check that jade slip first. Otherwise, I will not take the pill," Xu Que said, pushing the Water Empress' slim hand away with a solemn expression.
Unable to dissuade him, the Water Empress took the jade slip and checked it with her Soul Strength. She was shocked. It really was Part Three of One Turning into Three Pure Pellucid Ones! After so many years of clueless searching, Part Three of this book had just appeared like this!
"How can this be possible?" The Water Empress was amazed.
Xu Que couldn't help smiling at the thought of how amazing his acting skills were. However, the Water Empress turned around before he could act solemn again. He was caught red-handed.
"Ahem, it seems this is really Part Three of the book," Xu Que said, pretending he was smiling in relief. "So, I will die without any regrets."
The Water Empress saw right through his act this time.
"You naughty little guy. You obtained this book before, didn't you," the Water Empress said with a calm smile.
Xu Que flushed a bit. She had caught on to him. However, as an Acting Tough King, he could never admit defeat.
"What? I don't know what you're talking about! Ah, no! I am dying! This magic art is too horrible. I need to cure my injuries alone!" Xu Que said, pretending he was about to die.
Seeing through his trick, the Water Empress was not angry, but chose to watch his performance with a bit of embarrassment.
"That's enough. Just get up. I have been searching for Part Three for so many years. I didn't expect you to have it. Maybe this was determined by fate," she exclaimed, shaking her head and smiling ruefully. She then started to get a close-up look at that jade slip in her hand.
"…" Xu Que didn't reply. He chose to lie on the ground and continued to play dead by shutting his eyes.
What is the most important merit of an actor? Xu Que thought. Yeah, it's dedication! An actor who is playing dead shall never stand up if the director doesn't shout out the word "Cut!"
"What? This jade slip doesn't look that old," she said. "Little guy, where did you get this jade slip?" She looked at Xu Que lying on the ground. "Little guy, that's enough, just stand up!"
If he stood up now, he would be so embarrassed!
"No, I am injured. I need a kiss to stand up," Xu Que said. He shut his eyes, as if in pain.
The Water Empress's eyes widened. She was stunned.
A…a kiss?
The Xu Que and the Water Empress were at a stalemate. The atmosphere in the room was quite weird…
At this moment, Buttface, who was walking down through the halls of the Imperial Palace, passed by the open door. He looked over and saw Xu Que lying on the ground.
"Holy sh*t! Thank God!" Buttface said in delight, his eyes shining. "Finally, this guy is down. Let me wake him up with a Hua Tuo Kick!"
Howl!
Buttface dashed in and gave Xu Que a swift, direct kick.

Chapter 477: Overseas
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Buttface had been delighted to give Xu Que a harsh kick. In a way, Xu Que was glad to be kicked as well. Buttface was happy because he finally got to teach Xu Que a lesson. Xu Que was happy because Buttface's direct kick dispersed the embarrassing atmosphere in the room.
Buttface, thank you!
Xu Que opened his eyes and began to chant the magic words of the inscription on Buttface's collar. Buttface suddenly screamed with pain and fell to the ground.
"How dare you try to sneak-attack me?!" Xu Que said angrily.
"Nonsense! It's you who sneak-attacked me!" Buttface said. "I thought you were passed out!"
The collar was getting tighter and tighter. Buttface was furious.
"It was my clever trap!" Xu Que said. "I came here early this morning to set this trap for you. I lied down simply to see if you would take this opportunity to attack me. I never thought you would really do it! You are a real disappointment! Oh well. Don't worry. I will find a place to bury you when you die of suffocation," Xu Que said with a serious face. He dragged Buttface outside.
The Water Empress was still in a daze from hearing Xu Que say "give me a kiss." All this time, she had thought of Xu Que as someone who was younger than her and who was just a friend.
Now, she finally realised there was more than just friendship between her and Xu Que. This made things complicated. She didn't know how to feel now.
…
Xu Que took this opportunity to teach Buttface a lesson. Buttface's screaming echoed throughout the palace.
On the one hand, to make the Water Empress believe his act, he needed hit Buttface with great strength; on the other hand, Buttface tried to sneak-attack him, so Xu Que actually wanted to hit him with great strength.
He hoped that Buttface's interuption was enough to make the Water Empress forget him asking for a kiss. He didn't want her to know about his true feelings toward her.
To express his gratitude to Buttface, he did not hit him that much.
After beating Buttface, he went directly to the Imperial Tomb. He had heard that the Imperial Tomb was full of hidden traps; however, with the map of the tomb and the key that the Water Empress gave him, Xu Que easily got into the tomb.
Since going through the Tribulation, he was now in the Infant Transformation Stage. With the experiences he had accumulated so far, he had even managed to reach the third level of the Infant Transformation Stage. His body had become extremely strong. Thus, most of the traps in the tomb would not hurt him.
It only took him two hours to find where the Dragon Vein was. He easily plucked the Genesis Water Herb and put it into his System Parcel.
He had collected three herbs so far. As for the Genesis Wood Herb and the Genesis Earth Herb, he needed to take them from Duan Jiude.
"Wait! I just remembered that the extremely beautiful Dowager of the Gold Nation mentioned that the Ice Jade Pill is hidden here!"
He went into another room. What luck! The Ice Jade Pill was right there. He pocketed the pill, some rest medicine, and some magic inscriptions.
I better take these and make good use of them rather than leaving them here to rot.
It was a short trip, but Xu Que left with great satisfaction. He had managed to find a new Dragon Vein for the Water Nation. With his Dragon-searching inscription and the large territory of the Water Nation, it had been easy for him to find it.
Now that he had this new Dragon Vein, he spent a whole night directing it to the Water Nation. He was pleased that he had managed to help maintain the prosperity of the country in such a significant way.
…
The next morning, he went back to the palace and took a different path so as to not run into the Water Empress.
According to the Technique of Hitting on a Girl, once two people feel a bit awkward towards each other, it is better for them avoid each other for a while so things can cool down a bit.
Xu Que carefully went to the outside of his room. To his surprise, the Water Empress sitting on a stone chair in the yard. Obviously, she was waiting for him.
"Did you manage to get the herb?" the Water Empress asked.
She still looked very demure and elegant. It seemed that she had forgotten what he said to her yesterday.
"Of course!" Xu Que said happily.
"What do you plan to do next?" the Water Empress asked.
"I am gonna to find Duan Jiude and teach him a lesson! But I have no idea where he is now. It is going to take some time to find him I think," Xu Que said, anger rising in his voice.
"As far as I know, he has gone abroad," she said gently. "Someone said he is now in the South Continent. He probably went there for the Trial in the Immortal Mansion that is going to be held in a few months."
"South Continent?" Xu Que asked, surprised.
Xu Que hadn't heard about a South Continent. He tried to search for information about the South Continent from the memory left in the body that he had inhabited. However, there wasn't much there.
The only thing he knew for sure was that he was currently in the territory of the Five Nations where the Five Elements Mountain was located. He also knew that the mountain was located in the fringe of the East Continent.
In addition to this, he knew that on the other side of the sea was the center of the the East Continent. This place was full of countless powerful Fractions and Families.
However, since the sea was so big, among the five Nations, only three Factions, including the Sky Incense Valley, had their bases there and could go there via teleportation. As for the rest of the Factions, they had no idea what the center of the East Continent was really like.
It wasn't until after the Water Empress mentioned the South Continent that he realised that this world had a South Continent that was entirely separate from the East Continent. He also recalled that someone had mentioned something about the Roc being in the North Sea, which meant the North Sea must also be very big.
Maybe there is another Continent in the west…
"The South Continent is a great distance south of here. Between the South Continent and the East Continent, there is a huge sea." The Water Empress, explained, knowing that Xu Que had never heard of the South Continent. "Apart from the East Continent and the South Continent, there's the North Sea and the West Desert. You will go there one day, and I believe you will like those places. There, you can fully show to the people how capable you are."
"So I have to pay a visit to the South Continent if I want to find Duan Jiude?"
"I don't think so. The Genesis Earth Herb and the Genesis Wood Herb are not that unique. You can easily find their substitutes. It just so happens that I plan to go abroad soon. I can help you find where he is," The Water Empress said calmly.
"I prefer to go myself. Clearly, he comes for me. He pretends to be a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction and destroys its reputation. Because of this, I have lost face. I will not let him get away with this. Besides, I am on the way to being extremely powerful. If I avoid him, I will be allowing a demon to get into my heart."
Others might be willing to let a demon inside their heart, but Xu Que would not allow it. He just wanted to teach Duan Jiude a lesson and to save face.
At last, the Water Empress was persuaded. She knew that once a cultivator was in the Infant Transformation Stage, having a demon living inside his heart would have a very bad influence on him. He could even be devoured by the demon if he was not careful.
"You are right. Go back and make some preparations for departure. I shall meet you there at a later time. Duan Jiude won't be so hard on you if he sees me beside you."
"Deal! But once I see him, I'm gonna beat him up!" Xu Que said. "By the way, I wonder if I can pay a visit to the Fire Nation if time allows. I have some errands to run there."

478 Left Home Young and Came Back Old
Chapter 478: Left Home Young and Came Back Old
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Several days later, Xu Que had prepared a lot of delicacy materials, which he put into a Storage Ring. He then gave the ring to the Snow City soldiers to run their stores. After that, he said farewell to the Water Empress and left for the Fire Nation.
The Water Empress said she would leave for the South Continent one month later. Therefore, he decided to meet up with his old friends in the Fire Nation before the Water Empress' arrival.
Of course, the most important thing for Xu Que to do was to act tough.
He had now reached level three of the Infant Transformation Stage successfully. Therefore, Xu Que was practically invincible within the Five Nations. In the Five Nations, he was always an awesome powerhouse. No one could threaten him.
As the Acting Tough King, his sensitive heart had already sensed numerous chances to act tough at the beginning of his visit. He was enjoying the feeling of returning home in glory. He was now acting tough again in the Newbie Village.
He put on his Act Tough Suit. He looked super awesome and majestic in his black robe which had "Exploding Heavens Faction" printed across the chest.
Before Xu Que left the Water Nation, Buttface shamelessly insisted on going with him. The reason for this was not because Buttface was reluctant to part with Xu Que. It was because he thought Xu Que was going to be searching for some treasuries in the Fire Nation, treasuries that might even be related to the Seal of the Five Nations.
Buttface was aware that the Dragon Vein of the Water Nation was the last Seal. The Dragon Veins of the Fire Nation and the Metal Nation were dug out by Xu Que, while the Dragon Veins of the Wood Nation and the Earth Nation were dug out by Duan Jiude.
Now the Dragon Vein of the Water Nation was broken and Xu Que had obtained the Genesis Water Herb. The five Seals of the Five Nations had already been removed.
"The five Seals have been broken," Buttface said as they were traveling. "Once the sixth Seal is broken, I suppose that the legendary creature will return to this world."
Buttface kept nagging about this issue every day.
"Buttface, stop nagging in front of me! Even if Sun Wu Kong is really under the Five Elements Mountain, it's none of my business. Plus, I don't know the whereabouts of the sixth Seal! So what's the deal!?"
"Hmph! You are suffering from a guilty conscience. Why else would you decide to beat me up all the time? You are definitely going to the Fire Nation for the sixth Seal."
Buttface continued to press hard and insisted on following Xu Que, for he wanted to see the creature that was suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain with his own eyes.
Xu Que was at the end of his rope. Xu Que couldn't refuse Buttface anymore. In a way, the two were very compatible. Buttface's boasting prevented Xu Que from getting bored, and Xu Que was in a bad mood, he could use Buttface as a punching bag.
After roving around by using several Teleportation Devices, one man and one dog arrived at the border of the Fire Nation two days later.
The Water Nation bordered the Fire Nation and the Metal Nation. When Xu Que crossed over and woke up after his rebirth, he was at the border of the Fire Nation. Later he was bullied by the Celestial Sect. Even the villagers of the Pan Shan Village got involved in this issue, which depressed him a lot.
The death of Xiao Rou and all the rest villagers reminded him that this was a world of getting better or getting beaten. People who deserved death should just be killed. Nothing and nobody could threaten him. If his enemy bullied him, he would destroy his enemy as well as his enemy's family.
In other places, this behavior would be considered too cruel. However, in the World of Cultivators, one must abide by this rule to survive.
He was still searching for the five Genesis Herbs so that he could revive Xiao Rou. This was not only to fulfill his promise, but also to remind him to keep acting tough and become even more of a powerhouse.
Circumstances had changed with the passage of time. Now that Xu Que had returned to this place, his heart was filled with regrets. Looking at the familiar flowers and plants that had now grown strange, Xu Que couldn't help but exclaim his feelings.
"Alas, this situation is perfectly described by a line of poetry that I heard once: left home young and came back old."
"What is the meaning of this line?" Buttface asked.
Xu Que said, "It means I left here when I was young, and now that I have come back, I am already a big brother!"
"You are at most a general. How could you pretend to be a big brother?" Buttface said in a recalcitrant manner.
Xu Que smiled by squinting his eyes. "I am the big brother of the Exploding Heavens Faction. I am not pretending to be one!"
"You are kidding, right? Don't you think I know that you are the only member of the Exploding Heavens Faction?" Buttface laughed in disdain.
Suddenly, Buttface saw a fist in front of his face that was growing bigger by the millisecond.
"Ouch!" Buttface yelled.
Xu Que gave Buttface a few more punches. After this, Buttface, whose heart was full of grief and indignation, hid in a corner.
"If the wolf went down to level land, he would be insulted by Xu Que!" [1]
"Buttface, let's go! The Great Change Sect is not far from here. We can stay there while we're in town," Xu Que said, patting Buttface's dog head.
Buttface was shocked a bit. He held head high and his chest out before speaking.
"I've never heard of that Great Change Sect. It must be a small sect. I am used to living in Imperial Palaces. I will not live in those small sects!"
Bang!
The next moment, Buttface was kicked. Once again, Xu Que took the opportunity to beat him. Soon, Buttface agreed to stay in the Great Change Sect. Thus, one person and one dog arrived at Wind City where the Great Change Sect was located.
Xu Que had left this place for almost one year. When he returned, he found a lot of things had changed.
Before, Wind City was very small and the city wall was quite shabby. Also, the city had a tiny population then.
Now, Wind City was full of brand new buildings. The city wall had been rebuilt. The streets in the city were also paved with new flagstones. The number of passing pedestrians was dozens of times more than the year before. A lot of businessmen were attracted to this city as well, which caused the city to be full of hustle and bustle.
Xu Que was quite surprised. Only one year had passed. How could this city have changed in such a remarkable way?
"Ladies and gentlemen!" a peddler called. "Come and have a look at the freshly roasted Xiao Yan's Roasted Chicken Wing of the Exploding Heavens Faction! It is absolutely authentic and delicious!" The peddler's cries were strong even though he was a good distance away.
What the hell is this? Xu Que thought. Xiao Yan's Roasted Chicken Wing of the Exploding Heavens Faction? Are you kidding me?
"What's going on? Aren't you the only member of the Exploding Heavens Faction? Where does this Xiao Yan come from?" Buttface was also confused.
The corner of Xu Que's lips twitched. A year earlier, he used the name of Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction to evade the pursuit of Zhang Danshan of the Celestial Sect. This was also the first time he roasted chicken wings in the area. He didn't expect it to become the brand of someone's business.
"Answer me! Who is Xiao Yan?" Buttface urged.
"I am Xiao Yan!" Xu Que replied.
His words were heard by some passers-by, who started to laugh at him.
"Come on, young man. Numerous people pretend to be Xiao Yan every day, but you are definitely one of the worst ones among them," said an old man who smiled while shaking his head.
People started to logically criticize Xu Que one after another.
"Right! A black robe and handsome face won't make you Xiao Yan!"
"Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction is not only handsome, but also majestic. You don't even have a Dark Heavy Buster Sword. How could you even think of pretending to be Xiao Yan?"
"Also, the ends of your hair are forked. The hair of Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction is black and smooth!"
"The most obvious thing is that your black robe is not right. Xiao Yan doesn't have 'Exploding Heavens Faction' written on his black robe."
"You are clearly an imposter!"
Xu Que was totally dumbfounded.
How could I be a fake? I was the one pretending to be Xiao Yan at the very beginning! Forget it! For the sake of the compliment on my handsome face, I will not argue.
"Buttface, let's go! Just ignore these ordinary people who can only judge others by appearance. I make a living with my talents, not my face," he said, waving his hand.
Suddenly, they heard an uproar from the crowds in front of them. A lot of people were shouting excitedly.
"Look, here comes a disciple of the Great Change Sect!"
"Thank God, finally they are starting to sell more tickets again. It's been so difficult to get a ticket recently."
"No need to tell me! The reason why so many people are coming here from afar is to have a look at 'The Place Where Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction Fired his Cannon.' Plus, the cannon itself is still intact. Hurry up, let's go and buy tickets; otherwise, there will be no tickets left for us."
After the exclamation, a swarm of people left hurriedly. Only Xu Que was standing on the windy street.
[1] This is similar to a Chinese idiom – if a tiger goes down to level land, he will be insulted by dogs.

479 I, Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction, You Came Back!
Chapter 479: I, Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction, You Came Back!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chapter 479-I, Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction, You Came Back!
Seeing the crowd of people all swarming in one direction, Xu Que was a bit stunned.
What's really going on?! I am that famous already?!
Xu Que knew that the so-called 'The Place Where Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction Fired his Cannon' referred to the place where he fired the God Powered Cannon.
"Hurry up! There must be something good over there, let's hurry up!" Buttface said with excitement.
Buttface thought that there must be something cool over there. If there wasn't, there wouldn't be so many people gathering there. Xu Que also wanted to see what was really going on, so he walked into the crowd. Everyone was holding Spirit Stones in their hands and trying to get tickets. People in the crowd were shouting many different things.
"I have to get a ticket this time."
"It is said that the God Powered Cannon is really powerful. Even the Fire Emperor was once hurt by it."
"I never thought Xiao Yan and Xu Que could come from the same Faction. Xiao Yan is addressed as the Cannon Deity for making the God Powered Cannon. I think that Xu Que must know something about it since he is in the same Faction as Xiao Yan."
"It was foolish of the Fire Emperor to use the God Powered Cannon to fight against Xu Que. Regardless, because the Emperor was killed by the God Powered Cannon, he died an honorable death."
"I have been told that the God Powered Cannon in the palace has been put away by Madam Ya. Now we have to go to the Great Change Sect to have a look at the God Powered Cannon."
"Haha. If we can get to know how it works, we might be able to make one ourselves."
Hearing all of this, Xu Que's feelings were rather complicated.
Seriously?! I thought these people were my fans. I thought they came to see me and pay their respects. I never thought people would come here simply to see the God Powered Cannon and try to steal the technique to try to make one of their own.
The key to the God Powered Cannon is on the inscription chip, which is perfectly embedded inside the cannon. They will never see this inscription, no matter how much time they spend looking at it.
I do admire Su Yun Lan, though. He managed to turn the God Powered Cannon into a "scenic spot" and increase the income of the city by using the novelty of the Exploding Heavens Faction to his advantage. How clever of him.
"F*ck! I can't even get in! Xu Que," Buttface said anxiously. "They all know your title. Just tell them who you are so that they will make a way for us."
Xu Que shook his head and smiled.
"I don't think so. We should be low-key," Xu Que said.
But the next minute, Xu Que shouted with great strength.
"I, Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction, have never been someone who likes attention. I am always very low-key."
His voice was as loud as the sound of a bell, echoing in the air. Hearing this, everyone turned back and looked at him.
Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction? Really?
"Young man, it's you again!" said one of the people who had mocked him before.
"Please stop impersonating Xiao Yan."
"The real Xiao Yan would never wear a cloth that has 'Exploding Heavens Faction' on it."
Because of the ruckus, the disciples who were selling the tickets turned around and were surprised by what they saw.
"It's Hero Xiao Yan!" a female disciple exclaimed.
"It's Hero Xiao Yan! You are finally back!"
All of a sudden, all the disciples began to run to Xu Que.
They had spent quite a long time with Xu Que when they were together in the Great Change Sect, so, naturally, they all knew Xu Que. Besides, it had just been only a year since Xu Que left. They recognized him instantly.
The rest of the people were all shocked.
Hero Xiao Yan?
Is he really the Hero Xiao Yan?
My god! He really came back.
The people who criticised Xu Que before now felt very embarrassed.
"Sh*t! It's you again!?" Buttface exclaimed. He finally realised that "Xiao Yan" was Xu Que's nickname.
Xu Que smiled and covered Buttface's mouth with his hands.
"Please be quiet. Remember? I said we should be low-key."
Since these people do not know that I am the famous Xu Que, I'd better stick with the name of Xiao Yan. Anyway, I have to protect reputation of Xiao Yan from being tarnished.
"Hero Xiao Yan, I am so happy that you finally came back! We have been searching for you since you left us, but we heard nothing about you. About half a year ago, we heard that that Hero Xu Que killed the Fire Emperor, which was really astonishing."
Hearing this, Xu Que smiled. "Well, Fire Emperor is just a small role. As a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, he is not worth my attention."
He calls Fire Emperor a small role?!
The Exploding Heavens Faction is really powerful. Judging from this, there must be many strong elites in the Faction. They must come from abroad.
"I just plan to stay here for a day or two. Are there any female leaders available? Oh, no, I mean are there any rooms available?" Xu Que smiled.
"Of course. You can stay in the yard where you used to live. Leader Su has been keeping it clean and never allows anyone else come in," a disciple said.
With this information in mind, Xu Que left the street and went to the Great Change Sect to meet with the disciples.
"Is Leader Su doing OK?" Xu Que asked the disciples.
The disciples looked at each other and sighed.
"Tell me! What's happened?" Xu Que asked.
"Hero Xiao Yan, it's not what you think. Leader Su is doing fine. She has just been very blue since you left."
"She is depressed, you mean?"
"Depression?" The disciples were all confused.
A female disciple looked at Xu Que sadly. "Hero Xiao Yan, after you left without saying goodbye to her, Leader Su became worried about you everyday. We knew why she was behaving like this, but still, we could do nothing to help her."
"Huh…" Xu Que said.
Xu Que had left shortly after he hit on Leader Su. Before he left, he fired the God Powered Cannon a few times. However, he never actually had sex with her, which was a bit contradictory to his title of "Cannon Deity."
"Su's worrying is all my fault," Xu Que sighed. "I was inconsiderate."
"Don't worry." The female disciple smiled. Since you have come back, I think Leader Su will be very happy when she sees you. But yes. Since you left, she began going to the yard where you used to live and she would just stand there. Sometimes, she would stand there for a whole day. When she would finally leave the yard, we found that the ground would be wet where she had been standing."

480 How Dare You Make Troubles Again?
Chapter 480: How Dare You Make Troubles Again?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"What?" Xu Que widened his eyes, his face was full of shock.
A large area of ground would be wet? My Gosh! Sect Leader Su is so open! I didn't expect her to be so bold and unrestrained! Wait… That can't be right! Sect Leader Su didn't seem like that kind of person at all… Not at the time anyway...
It was normal for Madam Ya to be open and unrestrained regarding her sexual feelings. However, Xu Que couldn't believe Sect Leader Su would act like this.
"Ahem, you said a large area of ground was wet. You mean the ground was wet by tears, right?" Xu Que asked with raised eyebrows.
"Of course!" the female disciple nodded certainly. She was even a little bit confused. "Master Xiao Yan, did I say something wrong just now? Besides the tears, could the ground be wet by other things?"
"No, of course not! As soon as I heard the phrase, I, as an upright and pure person, knew it was wet by tears," Xu Que said justly and severely, patting his chest.
"So, yeah. That's it," the female disciple said, nodding.
"Listen up!" Xu Que said, looking at the rest of the disciples. "Sect Leader Su bathes her cheeks with tears every day. Those who misunderstood her have a dirty mind and shall be treated with electrotherapy. Do you understand?"
"What? Oh… yes, we got it!"
The disciples were stunned a bit. Although they didn't really understand Xu Que's words, they still nodded.
…
After the conversion, Xu Que and Buttface set off again. They went further into the Great Change Sect. The view of the Great Change Sect was another eye-opener for Xu Que.
When he came to the Great Change Sect for the first time, the whole sect was so shabby. A lot of buildings were in bad repair. The walls were damaged and covered by cobwebs.
However, now the whole sect was brand new. All buildings were renovated. The walls were whitewashed. The whole area was spotless and full of celestial temperament. It truly looked like a celestial faction.
Only the gate was still seriously damaged. The God Powered Cannon, which Xu Que had used to repel the Demonic Sects, was placed beside the gate. The battle marks on the gate were still there. The whole area where the gate was located was isolated as a scenic spot. Now, an endless stream of tourists came to visit this place.
"Master Xiao Yan, now people come to this place to adore you. The Great Change Sect also earns a lot of Spirit Stones because of this place. Many people were also attracted here for the purpose of joining our sect. Now the new gate is placed on the east side," a disciple explained enthusiastically.
"Good, good! Sect Leader Su is quite commercially minded," Xu Que praised, nodding his head.
Su Yunlan had brought about the transmutation of the Great Change Sect. She also made Xu Que very famous and popular. Although the tourists came here to have a look at the God Powered Cannon, Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction and Xu Que had both become legendary for their roles in bringing down the Emperor of the Fire Nation. Of course, no one knew that Xiao Yan and Xu Que were actually the same person.
Not far from Xu Que, some senior disciples were guiding junior disciples in practicing magic arts. Because he was surrounded by many people, Xu Que immediately attracted the attention of many junior disciples.
Many people didn't recognize Xu Que as the one who fired the God Powered Cannon. However, the senior disciples recognized him immediately. They were surprised and filled with joy.
"Ah! Master Xiao Yan, you…you are back, finally!"
Hearing this, all the junior disciples were greatly shocked.
"What? Is he Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction?"
"Wow, he looks exactly the same as the description given in the legend. With a black robe, he is so majestic!"
"I can't believe he is so young!"
"It seems like he's about as old as us. But he has joined the Exploding Heavens Faction! How admirable he is!"
"His cultivation in refining equipment is completely beyond our capabilities!"
Many junior disciples were very excited. Because of Xu Que's God Powered Cannon, many of them joined the Great Change Sect and hoped they could join the Exploding Heavens Faction one day. Therefore, Xiao Yan's presence definitely got them excited.
Another large group of people crowded in, a group who was led by some other senior disciples. All at once, Xu Que was surrounded by many male and female fans.
Buttface had been ignored from the very beginning. He was even pushed out of the crowd. He was so angry that even started to curse.
"Sh*t! Don't push me!" Buttface said. "That guy is a nobody! Just look at how handsome and majestic I am! I'm as good as…Ouch, ouch! It hurts! Who kicked my d*ck?"
Nobody paid attention to Buttface. People were shouting "Xiao Yan" loudly, which completely covered up Buttface's cursing.
Xu Que had been turned into an idol. With a smile on his face, he noticed his Acting Tough Points kept rising, which filled his heart with a sense of accomplishment.
"OK, OK, just lead me to Master Su now," Xu Que said, appeasing the crowd with smile.
The graceful figure and beautiful face of Su Yunlan appeared in his mind. He didn't know whether she had changed in this one-year period.
One disciple folded his hands and began to speak.
"Master Xiao Yan, please wait a moment. We have already sent people to inform Sect Leader Su of your arrival. I suppose she has got the news by now."
"Maybe Sect Leader Su is dressing up now," one female disciple laughed, her hand covering her mouth.
The rest of the disciples also looked at Xu Que with ambiguous smiles. This showed that Su Yunlan was very close to these disciples; otherwise, they wouldn't dare to make fun of their Sect Leader like this.
Xu Que patted his chest and said earnestly, "Hey, it's not what you think. There is only pure friendship Between Sect Leader Su and I. Even if we used to fire the God Powered Cannon together, the relationship between us is still pure!"
Hearing this, the disciples smiled even wider.
At this moment, a female disciple came to them anxiously.
"Xiao Bi," a male disciple said in surprise, "we sent you to inform Sect Leader Su. Why do you come back alone?"
"I have bad news. People of the Celestial Sect are here. When I came to find Sect Leader Su, they stopped me from entering."
"What?" The disciples were shocked.
"Why are people of the Celestial Sect here?"
"They are so rude! How dare they sneak into the Great Change Sect?"
"D*mn! Why are they are bullying us?"
"We are lucky to have the Divinatory Thousand Swords Spell and the God Powered Cannon left by Master Xiao Yan; otherwise, all of us would have already been slaughtered by them."
The disciples chests' were filled with righteous indignation.
Hearing the name of the "Celestial Sect," Xu Que raised his eyebrow.
The Celestial Sect? How dare you make troubles again? You are seeking death!
Xu Que waved his hand in preparation to give an order.
"Disciples of the Great Change Sect. Close the door and release the dog!"
"What?" The disciples were confused.
"Master… Xiao Yan, we don't have a dog!"
"It's OK. I have one. Buttface, attack!"

481 The Elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction Are Coming?
Chapter 481: The Elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction Are Coming?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone looked at Buttface.
"Ow!" Buttface shouted. "F*ck! I am a wolf, not a dog!"
If it were not for his fear of being punched by Xu Que in front of everyone, Buttface would definitely have hit Xu Que.
When the disciples heard Buttface speak, they were all astonished.
I never thought that the creature beside Hero Xiao Yan could speak like a human! Hero Xiao Yan always surprises us.
When Hero Xiao Yan left, he was just a young man of the Golden Core Stage. Now he has come back with a magical creature that can speak like a human! He really is marvelous.
Everyone looked at Xu Que respectfully.
Xu Que was wearing a black robe that hid the strength of his Qi, so people could not figure out what stage he was really in. If anyone found out that it only took him one year to go from the Golden Core Stage to the Infant Transformation Stage, they would definitely be scared to death.
"Hero Xiao Yan, calm down. Sure, there are only a few elders of the Celestial Sect that have come, but Master Zhang Dan Shan is also here," a female disciple said.
Hearing this, everyone was surprised. A gloomy-looking elder disciple quickly approached Xu Que.
"Hero Xiao Yan, I suggest you go to the yard and rest," the elder disciple said. "The members of the Celestial Sect will leave soon. We should not let them know you are here."
Xu Que frowned. This suggestion made Xu Que rather unhappy.
Don't be ridiculous! I am already the strongest figure among the Five Nations. Why on earth should I be afraid of the Celestial Sect?! Zhang Dan Shan should not have come here. I need to teach him a lesson!
"Don't worry, I've met Zhang Dan Shan before. He's just a feeble man. I can easily defeat him in one hit."
"Really?!" The disciples were shocked.
Master Zhang Dan Shan of the Celestial Sect is in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage, and you call him feeble?! You can easily defeat him in just one hit?! Even a person at the eighth or ninth level of the Infant Transformation Stage would not be able to do that!
The disciples became a bit worried.
"Hero Xiao Yan," one of the disciples began, "You must not think this way! Master Zhang Dan Shan is not as weak as you remember him being. When Hero Xu Que, who is in the same faction as you, destroyed most of the Celestial Sect, Zhang Dan Shan began cultivating in seclusion. In less than a year, he has managed to quickly get through his bottleneck period and has become much stronger."
"I heard that he wanted revenge on Xu Que," another disciple chimed in, "but when he heard that Xu Que killed the Fire Emperor, he gave up on the idea. Later, he heard that you were also a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction and were very friendly to us, the Great Change Sect. Ever since then, he's begun to make our lives difficult."
"What?! So this is all because of me?" Xu Que asked in surprise.
I thought the people from the Celestial Sect only wanted to bully the small factions. I never thought that they were doing this because of me… Well, it seems that I need to take responsibility for my actions... I need to make things right, no matter what it takes.
"How dare he!" Xu Que sneered. "I never thought he would be foolish enough to underestimate what we of the Exploding Heavens Faction are capable of! He is in big trouble this time!"
"Hero Xiao Yan, wait," a disciple said, stopping him. "Please calm down before you make any decisions. We are safe at the moment."
Xu Que frowned. "How can you possibly say that? We may be safe for now, but despite the power of the Divinatory Thousand Swords Spell and the God Powered Cannon, Zhang Dan Shan can destroy them if he wants to."
Hearing this, the disciple forced out a smile. "Hero Xiao Yan, last time Zhang Dan Shan came here, well, he meant to cause us trouble. But, when he saw Leader Su, he… he immediately had a crush on her. He asked his followers to send gifts to Leader Su, but she never accepted them. She always had his followers return the gifts. As long as he still likes Leader Su, we are safe."
"F*ck! How dare he have a crush on the woman who belongs to me!"
Xu Que was furious. It was true that he had never been in a relationship with Leader Su. He had never even hit on her. Still, Xu Que couldn't allow Zhang Dan Shan to flirt with her. That was his job!
Xu Que was getting more and more angry about Zhang Dan Shan's crush on Leader Su. Xu Que wanted to find him and give him a good wallop!
Seeing this, all the disciples were frightened. In the blink of an eye, the gentleman-like Hero Xiao Yan had turned into a terrifying brute.
Hold on! You said before that you and Leader Su were just friends, and now you're saying she belongs to you?!
"Calm down! Hero Xiao Yan!" another disciple said, trying his best to stop Xu Que. "Hero, we know you are powerful, but Zhang Dan Shan is in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage. I think we'd better wait until they leave. Once they are gone, let's gather the rest of the elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction, including Hero Xu Que. Once they are here, we can definitely destroy the Celestial Sect."
The rest disciples nodded in agreement. They thought that Hero "Xiao Yan" didn't stand a chance against Zhang Dan Shan. They didn't want him to just throw away his life like this. They all thought that the odds of destroying the Celestial Sect would be much higher if they enlisted the help of the elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction.
Hero Hua Wu Que, Hero Yang Guo, Hero Ye Liang Chen and Hero Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction were all very influential figures in the Fire Nation. Then, of course, there was Hero Xu Que. He had managed to kill the Fire Emperor when he was only in the Original Infant Stage even though the Fire Emperor was in the Infant Transformation Stage at the time. Once all of the elites were gathered together, Zhang Dan Shan was sure to be defeated.
"Asking help from the rest of the elites?" Xu Que asked with a strange expression on his face. He then broke into a grin. "Fine! In that case, we don't need to wait for the people of the Celestial Sect to leave. I'll inform the rest of the elites now. You all wait here."
Xu Que quickly turned toward the mountain located behind the Great Change Sect.
I have to seize this opportunity to act tough! They want the rest of the elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction to come help? Great! I will make their wish come true. I shall buy a book containing the magic inscription of doppelgänger. They will definitely be shocked when they see my doppelgängers.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Que turned into a shadow and disappeared.
"Sh*t! Take me with you!" Buttface said as he ran off to follow Xu Que.
…
The disciples were all stunned. Soon, they became very excited.
Hero Xiao Yan is going to gather the rest of the elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction?
Does this mean… we will get to see legendary figures like Xu Que, Li Bai, and Hua Wu Que all in one place?
How wonderful!
I never thought I would have the opportunity to meet them in person!
They are all very cruel figures. I am sure that the entire Celestial Sect will be destroyed this time.

482 Here Come the Sovereigns of the Exploding Heavens Faction
Chapter 482: Here Come the Sovereigns of the Exploding Heavens Faction
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the mountain behind the Great Change Sect, a figure appeared abruptly and flew across the sky. It was Xu Que!
He had purchased a replication art from the System, learning it right away. It was a one of a kind illusionary spell. More specifically, it was an Intermediate Earth Rank illusionary spell that could create ten doppelgängers.
Whoosh!
Xu Que cast the spell. Ten clouds of white smoke rose behind him, a doppelgänger emerging from each of the clouds. Each doppelgänger was dressed in a black robe. All of them looked exactly like Xu Que.
These doppelgängers couldn't perform any offensive attacks. However, since each doppelgänger looked and acted like Xu Que, he would be able to use the doppelgängers to confuse and frighten the members of the Celestial Sect.
Xu Que was able to use Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders. However, one illusory body wasn't enough to act tough. He needed to put on a show for everyone in the Great Change Sect. With this new ability, he would end the Celestial Sect once and for all.
"Alright, System, give me a dozen black masks. Make sure that they all have red characters saying "Exploding Heavens Faction" printed between the eyebrows of each mask. Also, I like the black color of the robes, but they need something else. System, make the robes look tougher by adding some red clouds on them."
After the System had made the adjustments to the masks and robes, Xu Que put the masks over the faces of each doppelgänger and gave them their newly decorated robes. At first glance, they looked just like the Akatsuki in Naruto.
"Little brat, little brat!" Buttface shouted excitedly. "You better count me in! Otherwise, I'll make sure to debunk you later."
Buttface knew that Xu Que had operated under many false names, such as Xiao Yan, Hua Wu Que, and Li Bai. However, Buttface was excited at the thought of obliterating the Celestial Sect. He also saw it as a chance to show off, which is why he was so eager to join Xu Que in this fight.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows. "You want to join me? Fine, but you need to be cooperative. When it is your turn to appear, you must shout 'I am Buttface of the Exploding Heavens Faction.'"
"Howl! I don't want to announce to the Celestial Sect that my name is Buttface! It's too offensive. How about I call myself The Mighty King of the Exploding Heavens Faction!" Buttface said proudly, waving his paws in the air.
"'The Mighty King' is too nasty," Xu Que said, shaking his head disdainfully. "Using a name like that would reveal your illiterate nature. Try another one. If you can't think of a better name, then too bad for you!"
"Another one? OK... Really, I'm alright with any name as long as it's not Buttface," he said eagerly.
Xu Que thought about it for a moment and then asked, "How about 'The Ultima Skin Monster?'"
"No!" Buttface refused immediately. He didn't understand what the name meant, but he was sure it wasn't something nice!
"Didn't you say you were OK with any name as long as it wasn't Buttface?" Xu Que asked, staring at him. "Fine, I will give you one last chance. Your name will be Mantis Shrimp! Take it or leave it."
"What? Mantis Shrimp? But I'm not a shrimp," Buttface said ruefully.
Xu Que ignored the whining dog. It was time to prepare for battle. Xu Que performed Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders. With this power, he summoned an illusory body which had 70% of his normal strength. Xu Que then put a unique mask on the illusory body, turning it into "Hua Wu Que."
Xu Que then waved his hand.
Whoosh!
Led by the illusory body, the ten doppelgängers jumped into the air and dashed towards the main gate of the Great Change Sect.
Xu Que walked over to Buttface with a smile. He grabbed Buttface's collar and shouted, "Let's go, Mantis Shrimp!"
Xu Que turned their figures into illusory shadows, which flew magnificently across the sky.
…
Meanwhile, in the assembly hall of the Great Change Sect...
Su Yun Lan was sitting in the middle of the assembly hall. Beside her stood three Elders of the Great Change Sect who were all at the Original Infant Stage. These four individuals held great political power within the Great Change Sect.
However, there were eight other powerhouses that were sitting at the assembly hall table. These eight other elders were all at the Original Infant Stage, making them two levels stronger than the elders of the Great Change Sect. These sanctimonious people were wearing fine clothes, on which the sign of the Celestial Sect was embroidered.
These eight powerhouses were led by a middle-aged man in a white robe. Xu Que would have definitely recognized this man if he were in the room with him. This man was no other than Zhang Dan Shan, the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect.
After only one year, Zhang Dan Shan was far stronger than he was before. He had grown from level five of the Infant Transformation Stage to level six. This was a giant leap. He was now almost as strong as the Emperor of the Fire Nation.
He also looked much younger than before. His cultured and elegant style made him quite handsome. He was definitely one of the most powerful cultivators in the Fire Nation.
Not long ago, he had fallen in love with Su Yun Lan at first sight. This caused his tranquil mind to be stirred up. He wanted desperately for Su Yun Lan to be his cultivation companion. However, Su Yun Lan always kept her distance from him. Zhang Dan Shan had sent her rare treasures on numerous occasions, but Su Yun Lan had returned all of them.
Zhang Dan Shan couldn't endure this rejection any longer. Thus, he came to the Great Change Sect personally to send his betrothal gifts and ask Su Yun Lan to marry him and become his cultivation companion.
The atmosphere in the assembly hall was dull and depressing.
"Sect Leader Su, as a powerful expert and Sect Leader, Zhang Dan Shan has condescended to discuss this issue with you several times. However, you keep avoiding the topic. Where is your respect?" an elder of the Celestial Sect snorted.
"The Celestial Sect, in general, is not a large sect. However, it is one of the three largest sects in the Fire Nation. If you refuse Zhang Dan Shan's proposal, you will make us a laughing stock," another elder said, staring at Su Yun Lan coldly.
"I am flattered by Sect Leader Zhang's appreciation," she said, smiling calmly. Su Yun Lan was still an elegant and competent beauty, just as she was a year before. "However, my heart already belongs to someone else. So, I can't be the cultivation companion of Sect Leader Zhang. I hope Sect Leader Zhang can be sensible and considerate and stop pushing me."
Bang!
Immediately an Elder of the Celestial Sect stood up, pounding the table angrily.
"Hmph," he snorted. "Do you plan to make your sect an enemy of the Celestial Sect, Sect Leader Su? Xiao Yan of the Exploding Heavens Faction is nothing compared to our Sect Leader Zhang!"
The rest of the elders also struck the table, stood up, and shouted angrily.
"You are insulting our Sect Leader Zhang!? This is outrageous!"
"You think we are afraid of your spell and the God Powered Cannon, right? For your information, if Sect Leader Zhang hadn't personally stopped us from attacking the Great Change Sect, you and your men would have been killed long ago because of your sect being allied with the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
The elders then began to attack Su Yun Lan with their Soul Strengths. Clenching her teeth, Su Yun Lan resisted the Soul Strengths of the Celestial Sect elders as best she could.
"Behave yourself!" an elder of the Great Change Sect beside her said. "You have gone too far! You are still within the Great Change Sect's assembly hall! How dare you attack us here?!"
Bang!
All of a sudden, a formless force hit the angry Great Change Sect elder in the chest. The force was so heavy that it crushed him with the weight of a mountain. The elder flew off his chair and smashed into the wall of the assembly hall.
Puff! The injured Elder of the Great Change Sect spit out a mouthful of blood. His face became pale.
Su Yulan couldn't stand this any longer. She stood up.
"Sect Leader Zhang!" she shouted. "Are you seriously just going to use your power to bully us?"
She hadn't expected Zhang Dan Shan to be this unreasonable. He seemed like such an elegant and cultured man. Why was he attacking her people over a simple disagreement?
"Yunlan, I just punished your rude underling. Why are you angry?" Zhang Dan Shan said, smiling lightly. His eyes were full of mockery. He then picked up his cup and started to fiddle with it, as if he were playing with Su Yun Lan.
"I'm here to give you two options," he continued, smiling indifferently. "You can marry me and become my cultivation companion, or…the Great Change Sect will be slaughtered."
"I…dare you!" Su Yun Lan was so angry that her face was red. However, her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
She knew the Great Change Sect could be easily defeated if Zhang Dan Shan launched an attack since he was a powerhouse at Level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage. He was more powerful than anyone else in the Five Nations. He was practically unstoppable.
"You continue to collude with the Exploding Heavens Faction. Xu Que of this faction used explosions to destroy much of the Celestial Sect. Therefore, it is right and proper for us to eradicate the Great Change Sect. No one will dare to meddle in this matter, even the Exploding Heavens Faction!" Zhang Dan Shan said, smiling coldly and arrogantly.
Whoosh!
An air-piercing sound came from the outside of the assembly hall. A miserable cry was then heard.
"Ah!"
The next moment, Bang! A disciple of the Celestial Sect who had been guarding the door was thrown into the assembly hall. The disciple was drenched in blood. He was already dead.
All at once, everyone in the assembly hall stood up in shock, looking at the door.
"This is outrageous! Who did this?" Zhang Dan Shan scolded.
Many deafening and majestic voices answered in reply.
"I am Hua Wu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"I am Ye Liangchen of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"I am Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"I am Yang Guo of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"I am Wu Wu Kai of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"I am Snake Skin Monster of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"

483 Welcome, Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction
Chapter 483: Welcome, Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"I am Xue Zhi Qian of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"I am Nicolas Murong Buttface of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
…
At last, there were eleven figures standing in the entrance of the assembly hall: Xu Que's ten doppelgängers and his Thunder Illusion Body.
Many of these figures that appeared were legendary figures, such as Hua Wu Que and Li Bai. These figures were accompanied by the rest of the elites. Some of the elites had eccentric names, like Xue Zhi Qian and Wu Wu Kai.
However, only Xu Que's Thunder Illusion Body had a face which resembled a distinct person. This resemblance was that of "Hu Ge." The rest of the ten doppelgängers were all wearing masks and black robes decorated with red clouds. They all looked very mysterious and a bit creepy as well.
All the people present could sense that these figures were all in the Infant Transformation Stage. Having these figures enter the assembly hall was like seeing Gods descending upon Earth.
No one dared to make a sound. Everyone was frightened and stood still, especially the disciples of the Great Change Sect.
"My god!"
"They are the elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction and they are all in the Infant Transformation Stage?!"
"I thought Hua Wu Que, Li Bai and the rest of these legendary figures were only in the Original Infant Stage!"
"They all stepped into the Infant Transformation Stage in just a few months?!"
…
The disciples of the Great Change Sect were all astonished. Despite their shock, they were all excited to meet these legendary figures who had come to help them. The disciples of the Great Change Sect felt extremely proud to be allied with the Exploding Heavens Faction.
Conversely, Zhang Dan Shan and the eight elders of the Celestial Sect were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Zhang Dan Shan was especially terrified. He never thought that there could be so many people in the Exploding Heavens Faction who were all in the Infant Transformation Stage.
Although they were just in the third level of the Infant Transformation Stage, Zhang Dan Shan knew how much strength they possessed. He had heard the story of Xu Que killing the Fire Emperor and how the Fire Emperor was in the Infant Transformation Stage while Xu Que was just in the Original Infant Stage.
For the past year, Zhang Dan Shan had not been afraid of the Exploding Heavens Faction at all. This was because he lived on the outskirts of the Fire Nation and because Xiao Yan had remained absent. But now that he was seeing the elite of the Exploding Heavens Faction with his own two eyes, he was extremely frightened.
Su Yun Lan was also stunned. She stood still and stared at the figures. She felt like she had seen these figures before. In fact, when she heard the first figure say the phrase "Exploding Heavens Faction," she instantly knew that Xiao Yan must have come back. She felt rather disappointed when she realized that she had not heard his name.
Has he not come back? No, he must have come back. Otherwise, how would the elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction have known to come here?
At this time, the people in the assembly hall overheard some Great Change Sect disciples discussing something.
"Where is Hero Xiao Yan?" one of the disciples outside the assembly hall asked.
"Where is he? He said he would inform the elites and come back immediately. Where on earth is he?"
"Could it be possible that he went to find Hero Xu Que?"
"That's probably it. After all, Hero Xu Que has not arrived yet."
…
"Xiao Yan? He came back?!" Su Yun Lan exclaimed.
Zhang Dan Shan felt both resentful and terrified when he heard the name "Xu Que."
Xu Que had destroyed more than half of the Celestial Sect a year ago. Since then, many disciples and presbyters had left the faction. Zhang Dan Shan had made great efforts to rebuild the Celestial Sect, but he only managed to convince a few presbyters to come back. The Celestial Sect had significantly fewer disciples now.
Nowadays, whenever the name "Xu Que" was mentioned, people always remembered the man who killed the Fire Emperor and who destroyed the Celestial Sect when he was only in the Golden Core Stage. Ever since Xu Que trashed The Celestial Sect, the faction had become a laughing stock. Because of this, few people had the desire to join the Celestial Sect.
Although Zhang Dan Shan resented Xu Que, he would not dare to fight against Xu Que unless he was one hundred percent sure that he could win. After all, everyone in the Fire Nation knew how powerful Xu Que was and no one dared to make him mad.
"Wow, I never thought there would be so many people gathering here today," said Hua Wu Que. He walked forward out of the black-robed group. He was holding a fan in his hand, which made him look very gentleman-like. Suddenly, he became agitated.
"Where is the crap Zhang Dan Shan?!" he said. "Aren't you going to tell me to come out to meet your leader!"
"How dare you!" Zhang Dan Shan said. He could not hold back his anger. He was furious at being disrespected like this in front of everyone. "Who do you think you are! You are just in the first level of the Infant Transformation Stage. How dare you talk to me like this?!"
All ten doppelgängers had the same Qi and strength as Xu Que did. As for the Thunder Illusion Body, it only had seventy percent of Xu Que's strength. This was why people sensed that "Hua Wu Que" was only in the first level of the Infant Transformation Stage.
At this point in time, Xu Que and Buttface were heading to the assembly hall. Xu Que had been using his Soul Strength to control his doppelgängers. He was quite enjoying messing with everyone in the assembly hall.
The Thunder Illusion Body sneered and looked at Zhang Dan Shan coldly. "Who do you think you are?! Our leader easily destroyed your faction when he was just in the Golden Core Stage. How dare you bark here, you oily dog?!"
Everyone was frightened by the Thunder Illusion Body and the ten doppelgängers. When the Thunder Illusion Body began to speak in such a cold manner, they felt even more scared.
"My god! Hero Xu Que is the leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
The disciples of the Great Change Sect were surprised. They had always wondered who the leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction was. They had never thought that Xu Que could have been the leader.
"How dare you!" Zhang Dan Shan shouted angrily. "Xu Que fled away from the Celestial Sect like a dog! If I had not let him go, he would already be a dead man."
Suddenly, a ray of black light flew across the sky, penetrated the clouds, and landed in the open space outside of the assembly hall. Everyone turned around and saw the smiling Xu Que and his scary-looking, big dog.
"Zhang Dan Shan," Xu Que addressed, "I thought an old booby like you would have already been dead by now. I should have killed you when I had the chance. I was being too kind to you!" Xu Que sneered, walking slowly over to him.
Su Yun Lan and all the disciples of the Great Change Sect were stunned.
What's going on?!
Isn't he Hero Xiao Yan? What does he have to do with Zhang Dan Shan and the Celestial Sect? Wasn't it Xu Que who destroyed the Celestial Sect?
With one synchronized motion, all ten doppelgängers and the Thunder Illusion Body turned around and put their hands in front of their chests, bowing to Xu Que.
"Welcome, leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!" they said in unison. Their voices echoed through the assembly hall.

484 Weirdos of the Exploding Heavens Faction
Chapter 484: Weirdos of the Exploding Heavens Faction
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Boom!
Instantly, a formless, majestic figure shot across the sky and landed in front of the assembly hall.
These eleven powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage were worshipping this one majestic figure. This scene shocked everyone.
The sound of the System came into Xu Que's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to host Xu Que who has been awarded 10,000 Acting Tough Points for completing the objective 'single-handedly acting tough!'"
Wow, 10,000 Acting Tough Points!? This was a really profitable act! It made sense though. This was a hard act to pull off since there were so many variables that needed to fall into place before the act could even happen.
This objective first required the Exploding Heavens Faction to be famous. Second, this task required each member of this faction that was present to be legendary. Finally, this act required Xu Que to be the center of the faction's fame.
"How…can this be possible?" said Zhang Dan Shan.
Zhang Dan Shan and his eight elders were dumbfounded. They were looking at this scene in a daze, and their hearts were filled with terror.
This didn't make sense. The eleven powerhouses were at the Infant Transformation Stage. Xu Que was also at the Infant Transformation Stage. So then, why did they worship Xu Que? He wasn't any more powerful than any of the eleven figures.
Could it be that… Xu Que was supported by a more formidable organization? This would be the only explanation as to why so many sovereigns at the Infant Transformation Stage would worship him like this!
The more that the members of the Celestial Sect thought about this possibility, the more scared they became.
The members of the Great Change Sect were also totally dumbfounded.
Master Xiao Yan is the celebrated Xu Que!
My Gosh! Am I dreaming right now? The Xiao Yan that we met before is actually Master Xu Que!
So… he is Xu Que!
Su Yun Lan was still in a daze. After all, Xu Que's name was known throughout the Fire Nation. Therefore, knowing Xu Que was a way bigger deal than knowing Xiao Yan.
"I am Mantis…Shrimp of the Exploding Heavens Faction! Why don't you kneel before me?" Buttface shouted. Although he was still not used to this name, he still shouted it out cooperatively.
However, nobody cared about Buttface, for everyone had their eyes fixed on Xu Que. He was smiling. His eyes were inky-black and looked as deep as the universe. Everyone could tell just by looking into his eyes how much strength he possessed.
This is the true style of a big brother of a large faction – powerful, confident and fearless!
"Xu Que!" Zhang Dan Shan shouted, clenching his teeth and fists with a ferocious expression.
His hatred towards Xu Que was endless. Just moments before, he had been terrified of Xu Que. However, Xu Que's emergence and his rude words had kindled Zhang Dan Shan's fury. His eyes were now full of madness and homicidal intentions.
"Don't call my name. You are not qualified to call my name!" Xu Que said with a provocative smile.
This made Zhang Dan Shan even angrier. He was about to lose his sanity. A formidable pressure was building in his body. He was like a mad dog, ready to tear Xu Que into two halves.
This suffocating atmosphere that Zhang Dan Shan was creating instantly covered the whole area, like the smell of death. Everyone couldn't help becoming pale and feeling shivers down their spines.
"Zhang Dan Shan, if you want a fight, just come out!" Xu Que said. "Why do you shout angrily from inside that room? Anyone from the Exploding Heavens Faction could kill you just by stomping his foot. If you don't believe me, you should pick an opponent yourself. That way, the world will know that your defeat was not because you were outnumbered," Xu Que said with a smile. He stared at Zhang Dan Shan coldly, his Soul Strength still controlling the doppelgängers.
"Zhang Dan Shan," Hua Wu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction said, waving the folding fan in his hand. "Compared to my other fellow members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, my cultivation level is the lowest. So how about a duel between you and me? And, I will only use one hand to fight you!"
Gasp! Everyone held their breaths.
This Master Hua Wu Que is too reckless! He is only at level one of the Infant Transformation Stage. He is inferior to Zhang Dan Shan by five levels. How can he say that he will only use one hand to fight him?
"I prefer to fight opponents who consider themselves extraordinary," said Ye Liang Chen of the Exploding Heavens Faction. "Zhang Dan Shan, if you think you are strong enough to fight me, I don't mind playing along. I have 100 ways to defeat you. However, you can do nothing to against me."
Everyone watching was in an uproar.
Wow! This guy has so much confidence!
The sovereigns of the Exploding Heavens Faction are really powerful! All of them are so domineering!
Another figure stepped forward. It was Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction!
"Let's enjoy this while we can!" Li Bai said, holding a sword in one hand and a flagon in the other. "Come on, bottoms up! The Sword of the Great River descends from the heavens… With every ten steps I take, a person dies by my hand. I can travel 1,000 miles and still be unstoppable. Zhang Dan Shan, the thought of your blood gives me the urge to write poetry! In this world, who can defend against my sword?"
Everyone was shocked again.
Holy sh*t!
No wonder Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction is the number one gifted scholar of the Imperial City! He can compose adroit and domineering lines in the blink of an eye.
Who can defend against his sword? I suppose only sovereigns of the Exploding Heavens Factions know!
Suddenly, a low and strange voice spoke.
"Why did you summon me?"
Another member of the Exploding Heavens Faction stepped forward. It was Wu Wu Kai. What a strange name. None of the onlookers had heard of it before.
Wu Wu Kai walked up to the front of the cluster of doppelgängers. He then started to curse at Zhang Dan Shan without any hesitation.
"Zhang Dan Shan, you son of a b*tch! You are a filthy boar, a mother f*cking dog, and a god-d*mned wh*re! Stop wasting my time. Just fight me if you refuse to surrender!"
Everyone was totally dumbfounded!
What the h*ll? This guy is way too aggressive! He started to curse after just showing up! But his dirty words were so neat and rhymed. He is really an unconventional swearer!
He is awesome! No wonder he's a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction!
Just then, a piece of weird music sounded.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong…
Another member of the Exploding Heavens Faction stepped out. It was Snake Skin Monster. He stepped forward and stood beside Wu Wu Kai. With a cigarette in his hand, he started to sing.
"I am the most coquettish pig in LOL. I can reload my gun manually with the F key! This time I won't miss a shot and I won't be killed…"
He then suddenly stopped singing.
"Um, sorry, I was touched by my song!" he said, touching his forehead.
The onlookers were instantly confused. They didn't know what this guy's deal was. Why did he start singing? His song was so terrible…
However, Snake Skin Monster didn't care about the onlookers' opinions, so he ignored their gazes. He then turned the cigarette around and inserted the burning end into his mouth. He puffed on the cigarette forcefully. He started to sing loudly again.
"The coquettish pig was born before the Gods. I suck the burning end and f*ck the immortals! Zhang Dan Shan, just like the Ultima Skin Monster, Iron Man, and the invincible Hulk, I only need one chance to smash you, the d*mned boar, dog, and wh*re, into ashes! Just fight me if you are not a coward!"
"Eh? I have a question!" said Wu Wu Kai, who was standing beside him.
"Lu Benwei[1], you shut up!" said Snake Skin Monster.
"F*ck you!" Wu Wu Kai cursed angrily.
Everyone was totally confused.
How could these two members of the Exploding Heavens Faction be so weird? They are so unique. It is rare to come by these kinds of people in this world!
They started to curse just after showing up. They even cursed at each other. This is way too intense!
The Exploding Heavens Faction is really awesome!
No wonder ordinary people are not qualified to join the Exploding Heavens Faction!
"What are you doing?"
Another member of the Exploding Heavens Faction stepped out. It was Xue Zhiqian. He looked at Wu Wu Kai and Snake Skin Monster.
"Are you idiots?" Xue Zhiqian said. "All your clichés are bullsh*t!"
[1] Wu Wu Kai's real name.

485 I“d Better Do It Myself
Chapter 485: I'd Better Do It Myself
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The ten doppelgangers and the Thunder Illusion Body gave their performances one by one.
Why on earth are these strong men of the Infant Transformation Stage so peculiar in their characteristics?
I used to think that all strong men were alike: arrogant and reserved. These guys proved me wrong!
Compared to them, I think Hero Xu Que, the leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction, is the least peculiar!
"Zhang Dan Shan!" Xu Que shouted. "You must be freaking out now, huh? Tell me, have you picked someone to be the first one you fight against? Or would you prefer to fight against all of us at once? I suggest the latter option. That way, we can finish you off earlier," Xu Que said, smiling.
"Xu Que, he who laughs last laughs longest!" Zhang Dan Shan sneered. "Your peers are all just in the third level of the Infant Transformation Stage. I will show you what I am capable of!"
Bang!
All of a sudden, a sea of fire appeared behind Zhang Dan Shan. His hair was burning and it stuck straight up. His whole body was surrounded by fire and was giving out great energy.
Seeing this, the observers were all frightened.
"No way! He can combine his body with the Genuine Fire Energy!"
"This is impossible! How is he doing this?"
"Now that he has managed to combine his body with the Genuine Fire Energy, his body can no longer be penetrated by either sword or spear."
"I am afraid he is even more powerful than the Fire Emperor."
Zhang Dan Shan began to laugh.
"Hahaha! Young man! I need to thank you. If it were not for you, I would not have chosen to enhance myself in seclusion. During my cultivation, I happened to find a book full of powerful magic inscriptions. I used this book to learn how to combine my body with the True Core Strength, which is actually the Genuine Fire Energy. Hence, my body is now impenetrable!"
Hearing this, the disciples of the Great Change Sect were shocked.
The biggest difficulty that most cultivators faced was the weakness of their physical bodies. The bodies of Demonic Beasts were always naturally stronger than human bodies. This is why Demonic Beast cultivators were always more powerful than human cultivators who were in the same stage.
Zhang Dan Shan was in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage. His body had also been greatly enhanced and had become impenetrable. Thus, it was possible that he could even win against someone who was in the seventh level of the Infant Transformation Stage.
"I am not sure if Xu Que can defeat him! Not this time!" a disciple of the Great Change Sect said, his whole body trembling.
All of the Great Change Sect disciples were worried. Earlier, they felt very confident and excited when they saw the legendary figures. However, now they were extremely worried since they now knew how powerful Zhang Dan Shan had become.
Su Yun Lan gently moved her lips and sent Xu Que a message.
"Xiao… I mean, Xu Que, you'd better leave. It's too dangerous!"
"Don't worry," Xu Que responded. "My body is even stronger than his!" He smiled and shook his head.
Enhancing his body with the help of the Genuine Fire Energy? He is just showing off! I am an incredibly modest person compared to him!
He doesn't even know that I have enhanced my body by absorbing the energy of the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud and by going through the Ancient Tribulation. He also doesn't know that my body consists of the God of Hell's Compulsion and that I have absorbed the energy of the Dragon Vein of the Fire Nation.
He doesn't know this, because, unlike him, I have never bragged about these things to anyone!
Xu Que then looked at Buttface. "Mantis Shrimp, it's time for you to show him what you've got. He said his body is impenetrable. I suggest you give him a kick!"
"I won't do it!" Buttface refused.
Buttface had always been a coward. His body was extremely powerful, but he still behaved like a coward, even when he tried to be courageous and invincible.
"It's not worth it," Buttface sneered. "If I kick him, he'll probably die immediately."
"If you can kick him to death, you can eat as many hamburgers as you want in my store for a whole year... for free," Xu Que smiled.
"A…a whole year?!" Buttface exclaimed. But he was still a bit hesitant. Once a coward, always a coward.
"I won't do it just for some measly hamburgers!" Buttface said.
"Stinky Tofu then!" Xu Que said coldly.
"Deal!" Buttface shouted. "You can count on me! Zhang Dan Shan, you are in big trouble this time!"
For the first time in his life, Buttface was courageous. He ran towards Zhang Dan Shan, just like a wolf.
"How dare you!" Zhang Dan Shan shouted.
He was furious at being humiliated like this. Xu Que had sent a dog to fight against him, which implied that he was less powerful than a pet dog.
Two big fireballs appeared, one in each of Zhang Dan Shan's hands.
"Ow!"
Buttface instantly turned around and ran away when he saw Zhang Dan Shan approaching him with those huge fireballs.
"F*ck!" Xu Que cursed. "He is such a coward. Never mind. I'd better do it myself," Xu Que sneered.
Xu Que put his hands behind his back. In the blink of an eye, he changed into a shadow and ran directly towards Zhang Dan Shan.
Everyone was shocked by what they saw.
Is he insane?!
He wants to confront Zhang Dan Shan all by himself?!
"Haha!" Zhang Dan Shan laughed. "You are still the same old you! Arrogant and ignorant. How dare you to confront me like this! You are a dead man now!"
Zhang Dan Shan's fists were surrounded by fire. The energy that Zhang's flames were emitting was so strong that the space surrounding his fists looked twisted. He was about to hit Xu Que with his empowered fists.
Su Yun Lan and the disciples of the Great Change Sect all shouted at Xu Que.
"Oh no!"
"Hero Xu Que, be careful!"
"Xue Que, watch out!"
Xu Que looked very calm. He merely held up his own fists in defense.
Bang!
Zhang Dan Shan hit Xu Que square in the arm. However, Xu Que's body was completely was intact. Zhang Dan Shan staggered backward as a result of the strong explosion wave. Zhang Dan Shan's fists were severely injured and blood was running down his knuckles.
Everyone was astonished. Their eyes were wide open. They could not believe what they just saw.
Hero Xu Que's body is even stronger than Zhang Dan Shan's?!
"You...you.." Zhang Dan Shan was stunned. "This is impossible… This is impossible! How could you have become so powerful in just one year?!"
Zhang Dan Shan was almost destroyed by the explosion wave. He realised that Xu Que was no longer the young man in the Golden Core Stage that he had first battled.
"Hahaha!"
Xu Que was laughing very hard. He was slowly approaching Zhang Dan Shan. Zhang Dan Shan backed up a few steps in sheer terror.
"What...what are you going to do to me?!"
In the blink of an eye, Xu Que's body blurred. The next moment, he was standing right in front of Zhang Dan Shan. Xu Que smiled coldly and started to punch him with great force.
Zhang Dan Shan was unable to escape Xu Que's raging fists. Zhang Dan Shan's blood was gushing everywhere.
"Punch your chest! Punch your fist with my tiny fists! Smash your head with my tiny fists!"

486 Long Time No See!
Chapter 486: Long Time No See!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang!
Xu Que was beating Sect Leader Zhang Dan Shang to a pulp. Everyone was greatly shocked and had their eyes fixed on the gruesome scene.
Zhang Dan Shan no longer looked human. His white robe had been made red by his own blood. His head looked more like a horrific pig face than a handsome middle-aged man. Xu Que had beaten him so bad that his facial features were beyond recognition.
Xu Que's black robe the only thing that what recognizable. If someone else were to walk into the room, they would have never believed that the bloody figure on the ground was Sect Leader Zhang Dan Shan.
The body had stopped moving. Zhang Dan Shan was dead. This gave everyone the creeps.
A mighty Sect Leader at level six of the Infant Transformation Stage was beaten to death just like that!?
Wasn't his physique strengthened by the Genuine Fire Energy?
Why was he defeated so easily? Xu Que killed Zhang Dan Shan with just his fists!
Two cries pierced the silence.
"No!"
"Sect Leader!"
Two of the elders of the Celestial Sect were painfully sad. They couldn't believe their Sect Leader was killed in such a way.
Their beloved leader! He was a powerhouse at level six of the Infant Transformation Stage! He was the backbone and cornerstone of the Celestial Sect! His death meant the extinction of the Celestial Sect!
However, the six other elders of the Celestial Sect backed away. These six elders had been hired by Zhang Dan Shan to strengthen the sect. Therefore, the Celestial Sect didn't mean much to them. Seeing Zhang Dan Shan killed like this, they wanted to disassociate themselves from the Celestial Sect to avoid punishment from the Exploding Heavens Faction.
The two devoted elders of the Celestial Sect were shedding many tears because of their profound feelings concerning the loss of their sect and their leader. When Zhang Dan Shan began cultivating in seclusion, many disciples left the Celestial Sect. Even some elders left the sect. It was these two elders who had gone through painstaking efforts to keep the sect running.
Zhang Dan Shan had just completed his secluded cultivation. The Celestial Sect was on the verge of being revitalized. But now the Sect Leader had been killed. This turn of events devastated the faithful elders.
"Sect Leader, we will avenge you by sending this woman to be your companion in the lower world."
The two elders of the Celestial Sect stared at Su Yun Lan ferociously.
Although Su Yun Lan had also reached the Original Infant Stage, the two elders had reached level six and level seven of the Original Infant Stage respectively. Therefore, they were much stronger than Su Yun Lan.
They dashed at Su Yun Lan from two directions. Their movements were as quick as lightning.
Some people belonging to the Great Change Sect began to shout.
"Oh, no!"
"Be careful, Sect Leader Su!"
The three elders of the Great Change Sect stepped out to protect Su Yun Lan.
Whoosh!
Hardly had the two elders of the Celestial Sect approached Su Yun Lan when Xu Que's Thunder Illusion Body stabbed one of the Celestial Sect elders in the chest with his sword. A second later, Xu Que released a purple and golden lightning bolt which struck the other elder between his eyes, killing him instantly.
Xu Que was now so powerful that he could easily kill a cultivator at the Original Infant Stage. He even didn't need his buster sword. He only needed a tiny portion of his thunder essence to finish the job.
The crisis had been averted in the blink of an eye. The strength of Xu Que and his Thunder Illusion Body had impressed the onlookers yet again.
The six elders of the Celestial Sect were consumed by fear.
Maybe only the sovereigns of the Exploding Heavens Faction are able to have such sensitive reaction time and lightning speed.
What was even more impressive was that only Xu Que and Hua Wu Que had attacked. If the members of the Exploding Heavens Faction had attacked together, not even all of the cultivators of the Five Nations put together could stop them.
This formidable organization is truly horrifying!
The six elders of the Celestial Sect began to plead with Xu Que.
"Faction Leader Xu, we were hired by Zhang Dan Shan to join the Celestial Sect temporarily. Please have mercy and forgive us!"
"That's right! Faction Leader Xu, we were forced to come here. Now that Zhang Dan Shan is dead, we will not stay in the Celestial Sect. Please spare our lives."
Seniority meant nothing amongst cultivators in this world. Only the powerhouses were respected. Although the elders were older than Xu Que, their cultivations were no match for his. Therefore, no one was surprised by their submissiveness.
However, Xu Que wasn't planning on letting them get off that easy. After all, they had participated in Zhang Dan Shan's plans to force Leader Su into marriage.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled coldly.
"No. You shall stay in the Celestial Sect. From now on, the Celestial Sect shall serve the Great Change Sect, otherwise, …" Xu Que paused.
Ye Liang Chen of the Exploding Heavens Faction, who was standing behind Xu Que, finished the sentence.
"Otherwise, the Exploding Heavens Faction will use 100 torture methods on you!"
"F*ck you, you cowardly sons of a b*tches! You hear!?" Wu Wu Kai of the Exploding Heavens Faction cursed.
The six elders of the Celestial Sect became pale. They then nodded their heads and crossed their hands.
"As you wish. We will now take over the Celestial Sect and serve the Great Change Sect!"
"Go. If I am informed about any one of you escaping, the Exploding Heavens Faction will not be merciful again. This faction has at least 1,000 members across the Five Nations. As for the members of the faction who are overseas… heh heh, I don't think I need to mention the number," Xu Que threatened with a smile.
The six elders became even paler.
There are at least 1,000 members of the Exploding Heavens Faction in the Five Nations?
My Gosh! Where do these people come from? Every person in this faction is so powerful! We are doomed!
The obsequious six elders of the Celestial Sect wanted to avoid punishment at all costs.
"Please be assured, Faction Leader Xu, we will never try to escape!"
"Then go back to your f*cking Celestial Sect!" Xu Que snorted.
Suddenly, Xu Que's Soul Strength gushed out like a flood. The six elders of the Celestial Sect trembled in sheer terror. This Soul Strength was unlike any power they had ever felt!
The six elders braced themselves, mustered up their courage, and crossed their hands in a salute. They then left the Great Change Sect in a panic.
After the elders of the Celestial Sect had left, the Great Change Sect was finally at peace. However, the people in the assembly hall still kept on their toes because of Xu Que's domineering presence.
The disciples didn't dare to breathe the wrong way with Xu Que in the room, let alone joke with him. Before, they thought this guy was "Xiao Yan," a person who was famous but was also amiable and approachable. Now they knew that he was Xu Que. His raw power was suffocating. No one dared to even go near him.
"OK, you are dismissed!" Xu Que shouted.
Xu Que, who never forgot about acting tough, waved his hand to the ten doppelgangers and his Thunder Illusion Body.
The eleven figures crossed their hands.
"Yes, sir!" they said in unison.
Then, Whoosh! The eleven figures were turned into smoke and disappeared instantly.
The onlookers were shocked.
No wonder they are members of the Exploding Heavens Faction! They are so fast and can disappear without a trace.
"Ahem, you are also dismissed." Xu Que said to the three elders and the disciples of the Great Change Sect. "Why are you still here? Go back and practice your magic arts," Xu Que said with mock severity.
All disciples of the Great Change Sect were a bit stunned. When they came to their senses, they all left the room. The three elders of the Great Change Sect then crossed their hands in reverence to Xu Que before leaving the room as well.
Only Xu Que and Su Yun Lan were in the room now. The emotions Su Yun Lan's face displayed tension mingled with pleasant surprise.
Xu Que's aggressive mood dissipated.
"Sect Leader Su, long time no see. Will you go on a date with me?" he said with a smile.

487 A Long Nigh
Chapter 487: A Long Night
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Did he just ask me to go on a date with him?
Su Yun Lan was stunned. She never thought that this would be the first thing he would say to her. She managed to collect herself and smiled.
He is still the same old "Xiao Yan." What an eccentric guy. He always says things that are hard to understand. But once you understand what he is saying, it's hard not to blush.
"We can just have a chat here, don't you agree? No one will disturb us."
"Alright," Su Yun Lan said with a smile. "It is strange though. I thought you would have preferred to take me somewhere special to have a date."
Whenever Xu Que tried to flirt with girls using catch phrases that were popular among teenagers on the earth, they usually got confused. He was not too upset by this, though. Xu Que laughed and shook his head.
Su Yun Lan was happy to hear his laughter again. She looked at him and started to laugh too.
She then told him how much hardship she had gone through to build up the Great Change Sect during the past year.
"During the past year, I have done nothing but save the world," Xu Que replied. "I started at the Gold Nation and my good deeds took off from there. For example, I saved the Water Nation as well."
He is probably joking. Surely he brought some troubles to the people, both in the Gold Nation and in the Water Nation, Su Yun Lan thought.
They chatted for a long while. They talked about various things such as their experiences over the past year, the first time they met each other, and the time when Xu Que made the God Powered Cannon.
Soon, it became very late. Most of the disciples and presbyters had already gone to sleep. The entire assembly hall was quiet and clear.
Xu Que and Su Yun Lan were enjoying their conversation very much. After all, the main reason that Xu Que came back was to have a good chat with his old friends. But soon, he would have to say goodbye. After all, he was planning on leaving the Five Nations to go abroad. He had no idea when he would come back.
He knew that the world on the other side of the sea was bigger and more wonderful. There, he could act tough like never before. Since acting tough was a lifelong career for him, he couldn't wait to get there. His plan was to stay abroad for ten years at least and just over a hundred years at most.
Su Yun Lan was a smart girl and had already guessed that Xu Que would probably leave soon. Realizing that is was quite late, she sighed.
"Where are you going to go now?" she asked.
She knew a powerful man like Xu Que would never be satisfied with staying in the Five Nations. She also knew that no one could stop him from leaving.
Even so, she wanted to take this opportunity to bid him goodbye and send him her best wishes.
A year ago, Xu Que left her without saying goodbye. He had only left a short letter on the table. After his sudden departure, she would often go to the yard where Xu Que used to live and just sit there, missing him. Sometimes, she could no longer suppress her sadness and cried. One day, one of the disciples happened to catch her crying and had informed the other disciples.
The news quickly spread among the Great Change Sect. People began to think she had been crying every day. They thought that her tears even dampened the floor. Every time Su Yun Lan heard this, she always laughed, but she never tried to explain.
Over the years, she had met many handsome and talented young men, but Xu Que was the man that had impressed her most. He was a man who could always bring her miracles and surprises.
Knowing Xu Que would leave soon, her feelings grew increasingly sorrowful and complex.
"I will go to the South Continent first, then the East Continent," Xu Que said calmly. "I don't know if I will go back to the Five Nations or not. Wait! Why don't you come with me? The Great Change Sect is functioning just fine now. You can leave and come with me. You will gain quite a lot of experiences if you do."
On one hand, Xu Que wanted Su Yun Lan to get stronger and more experienced. In his opinion, she had been overworking herself trying to manage the Great Change Sect all on her own. It was time for her to take a break. On the other hand, he admired her capability and wisdom that she used in order to manage the Great Change Sect. After all, she had managed to turn the Sect into an extremely influential Faction in just a year.
Xu Que had always wanted to officially establish the Exploding Heavens Faction. He needed her help to do this. Besides, traveling with a beauty was never a bad thing.
However, Su Yun Lan refused.
"I have told you before that after my grandpa built the Great Change Sect, he vanished along with my father. I have not heard anything from or about them, even after all these years, but I believe they are still alive. I have to protect the Great Change Sect and keep it working until the day they come back," Su Yun Lan smiled. "As soon as they come back, I will go and find you."
"Great!" Xu Que said, nodding his head with a smile.
Since Su Yun Lan had already made up her mind, Xu Que knew it would do no good to try to force her into coming with him.
I knew it! Both Korean Dramas and fairytales are nonsense. Flirting with a girl isn't enough to convince a girl to stay with me wherever I go.
"I plan to stay in the Great Change Sect for a couple of days," Xu Que said. "I can help you to set up a more powerful magic array. I also have a big present for you."
He had become extremely rich since he has left the Great Change Sect a year ago. His Acting Tough Points had reached 60,000 and he had gathered as many Spirit Stones as there were stars in the sky.
Xu Que summoned the System Store and bought a medium-class magic array using 3,000 Acting Tough Points. This magic array was far more powerful than the low-class Divinatory Thousand Swords Spell that was only worth 200 Acting Tough Points. Even a man in the top level of the Infant Transformation Stage or the Form Synthesis Stage could not break this medium-class magic array.
He took out a magic array plate and handed it to her.
"Keep it safe," Xu Que said.
He then took out ten Storage Rings.
"There are a hundred million low quality Spirit Stones inside these rings. Keep them."
"What?!" Su Yun Lan was shocked.
She did not know too much about the magic array, so she was not surprised about the array being medium-class. However, when she heard the number "a hundred million," she was totally stunned.
For a small faction such as the Great Change Sect, or even the Celestial Sect, a hundred million low quality Spirit Stones was indeed a large sum of money.
"We are very close. Don't feel like you have to owe me something. I have hundreds of billions of Spirit Stones. Just think of this money as my pocket change. If you need more, you can send one of your disciples to the Wanda Plaza of the Exploding Heavens Faction," Xu Que said calmly.
For him, a hundred million Spirit Stones was not a big deal. After all, he had always been very generous to the people he cared about.
Still, Su Yun Lan could not believe her ears.
A hundred million Spirit Stones?! This is impossible!
"No, I can not take it. You will need them when you are abroad."
She refused to accept the money, but she kept the magic array plate.
Xu Que did not say anything, However, he secretly sent his Thunder Illusion Body to the Great Change Sect's storage house to deposit two hundred million Spirit Stones. Xu Que then stood up with satisfaction.
"Good. We should call it a day. I am going to go back to the yard where I used to live to enjoy the night sky there."
"Xu Que! Wait!" Su Yun Lan cried.
"What?" Xu Que said, turning around in surprise.
Su Yun Lan threw herself into his arms. She raised up her head and gently said:
"Xu Que, I want you tonight!"

488 Have More If It Is Delicious
Chapter 488: Have More If It Is Delicious
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
You want to have sex with me? Xu Que thought.
Xu Que was stunned by Su Yun Lan's soft but thrilling voice.
What…the h*ll? Why does happiness always have to come so abruptly? How could she bring herself to make such a sudden request? As an Acting Tough King, I have experienced many love affairs. But this! This is the first time a woman has been the first to ask! What should I do? Should I wait?
D*mn! I can't wait! This must be a temptation! A conspiracy! As an upright and honest man, I shall resist the temptation of this beauty. I shall never take away the purity of this woman!
Xu Que's body shook, his face full of righteousness. Then… he hugged that soft body in his arms.
"I know you will leave soon," Su Yun Lan said. "I am afraid I can't wait until you are back. I am afraid everything will be changed when you get back," she softly.
If the Celestial Sect had not bullied her today, maybe she wouldn't have been bold enough to make this decision. However, she now realized that time and tide wait for no man.
This time Xu Que would be away for a long time, much longer than one or two years. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to wait for such a long time. She worried that when Xu Que came back, she would already be an old lady or maybe even dead.
In this bloody and cruel world of cultivators, nothing was predictable. She made this bold decision without any hesitation, falling into Xu Que's arms.
Xu Que was perplexed for a while. Then he came to himself and smiled softly.
"I will be back and nothing will be changed. Even if something is changed, I will change it back again!"
Xu Que was filled with ambition and obsession. He made a promise to Su Yun Lan in his mind.
If I need it, the heavens shall not remove it. If I don't need it, the heavens shall not allow its existence! I will always need you, Su Yun Lan! Xu Que thought.
He devoted his body to her selflessness.
Ugh! This was maddening!
If he accepted her, he was a beast!
If he refused her, he was worse than a beast!
"Hmm!" a soft moan came from Su Yun Lan's hot lips.
She was enjoying the warmth of Xu Que's hot chest. She hugged him even more passionately.
Su Yun Lan's mind was spinning. She had never had intimate contact with a man before. Just like firewood which had been dried in sunshine for weeks, her desire was instantly ignited.
The two of them became tangled up like raging flames. Even the cultivator couldn't resist such instinctive desire.
When love and desire merge, a woman is able to forget everything and entrust herself to the man she loves. This is where a woman can find true happiness.
For Xu Que, this moment was just like a good rain after a long drought. When he looked upon Su Yun Lan, all he saw was a delicate, sexy babe. However, he knew in his heart that Su Yun Lan was still that mighty Sect Leader who shouldered the whole Great Change Sect by herself.
However, no matter how strong a woman was, she still needed love from a man. The tougher and stronger a woman was, the more eager she was for a reliable shoulder to lean on.
Men were more often tempted to conquer and care for powerful and strong women rather than delicate and charming women. By caring for a powerful and strong woman, a man could reveal his true strength and give a full display of his male hormones.
"Xu Que, it is so good…to be with you…"
Xu Que looked at her mouth as she spoke. Her tender and hot lips were so intoxicating. Her sexy tongue behind her white teeth was just as much of a turn on.
Su Yun Lan looked up at the man who she felt was the perfect and most fantastic man in the world for her. Either her extravagant wishes were coming true, or this was just a dream.
However, even it was just a dream, Su Yun Lan was grateful. If she dreamt like this every day, she would rather not wake up! Since she knew that this might be only a dream, there was an unspoken second half of her sentence:
"even if we can only enjoy this for a moment."
If they missed this chance, they would lose it forever.
They should grasp this opportunity so that they wouldn't regret it.
Yes!
The happy hour can never be too long.
The happy hour is always unforgettable in one's life no matter how short it lasts.
Su Yun Lan had no regrets. Before this moment, she used to imagine being with the man she could entrust her life to. However, Xu Que's appearance, abilities, and personality went beyond her wildest imaginations.
In her imagination, this man would always crush her obstacles like a celestial being during her most vulnerable times. He would then leave with a faint and wicked smile. Her imaginary man was a hero, but not an upright, honest and mighty hero. If Xu Que had been a truly benevolent hero, she wouldn't have favored him. Luckily, Xu Que was a handsome playboy who always appeared in her life like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
Such brief contact!
Just a very short touch…
It had created ripples which kept drifting in Su Yun Lan's heart.
Waiting!
The torment of waiting!
But this waiting had also been a kind of torturous happiness!
This happiness was a decoction made by countless amounts of the water of lovesickness!
Such a tight hug!
Su Yun Lan gently closed her eyes and began to enjoy Xu Que's fiery and domineering desire inside her body.
Nervous!
Excited!
Expected!
…
This man!
A man that was not destined to be hers!
He was her entire world, but maybe just for this moment!
Crystal tears rolled down her cheek.
A slight trace of pain!
Then endless pleasure!
Just cherish this moment!
Su Yun Lan had forgotten herself!
Now she was neither the mighty Sect Leader of the Great Change Sect nor the spoony woman who waited for Xu Que desperately.
On the road of love, ignorance was bliss.
The stars were shining in the night sky.
The moon above the clouds was even more obscure than before.
The summer insects were silent and the birds were sleeping. The fantasy in the midsummer night was fulfilled.
…
When the sun rose again, Su Yun Lan woke up. The familiar smell of Xu Que was still beside her. However, Xu Que was not in the bedroom. He was just like a dream, vanishing when she woke up.
However, she knew it wasn't a dream. She didn't regret anything. She would rather have a momentary love that meant the world than pursue a lifelong love that meant nothing. Last night had satisfied her completely. As she recalled the details of the night before, Su Yun Lan flushed and couldn't help smiling.
Just then, she heard a voice in the distance.
"Mantis Shrimp, let's go! Mantis Shrimp, come on!"
"Sh*t! Don't push me like this! I can't believe this. Dragging me along to do early morning labor... As a mighty and dignified celestial, I refuse to do trifles like setting up magic spell formations…Ouch! Stop beating me! It hurts!"
Hearing those voices, Su Yun Lan was very delighted. Xu Que hadn't left yet! He was setting up magic spell formations!
As she sat up, she suddenly felt a mild aching in her lower body, which was also a little bit numb. Thinking of last night's passionate love-making, Su Yun Lan couldn't help flushing. She gently raised her slender legs and got out of bed to get dressed.
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que was walking around in the Great Change Sect, dragging Buttface along with him. They were searching for good places to set up the spell cores.
This spell, which was purchased with 3,000 Acting Tough Points, was very powerful. Even powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage or the Form Synthesis Stage couldn't break it. However, it was also more difficult to set up this spell formation.
Fortunately, Xu Que was a Spell Master. He managed to set up the spell formation within four hours. To ensure the spell lasted as long as possible, he placed one Best-grade Spirit Stone in each spell core. The Spirit Stones would supply each spell core with enough energy to keep the spell active for several hundred years.
Seeing this magnificent spell shield, many disciples of the Great Change Sect were very excited and shocked.
Creak!
Now that Su Yun Lan was dressed, she opened the door and walked out. She was immediately stunned. Xu Que had finished setting up the spell formation.
Just then, Xu Que walked into Su Yun Lan's bedroom door with a bowl of freshly made porridge in his hands.
"You are up! Have a bowl of porridge. It will do good for your health," Xu Que said with a smile.
Su Yun Lan felt a warm current in her heart. She took the bowl and sipped the porridge. The porridge was sweet and delicious, just like the dense happiness which seemed to wrap around her.
"It's good," she said, smiling sweetly.
Xu Que also smiled.
"Have more if it is delicious. Tonight, I will cook noodles for you."
"OK!"

489 Returning to the Mysterious Clan
Chapter 489: Returning to the Mysterious Clan
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Time flies when a person is having fun.
Xu Que stayed in the Great Change Sect for seven days. He spent every spare moment with Su Yun Lan, both day and night.
He was indeed a strong and energetic man. After all, he performed very well in the assembly hall, Su Yun Lan's bedroom, and the storage house. He even gave a performance on the mountain behind the Great Change Sect.
Xu Que had done a lot for the Great Change Sect. He had set up a new and improved magic array to protect the Sect, provided them with a large number of Spirit Stones, and cooked many delicious meals for them with magic power.
Su Yun Lan liked the food very much. Xu Que even made hamburgers and ice cream for her. Thanks to this special food, her body had been greatly nourished and enhanced. Soon, she reached the ninth level of the Original Infant Stage.
Xu Que also bought many tools from the System Store, like the Killer Sword and the Killer Book, and gave them all to Su Yun Lan. While it was true that Su Yun Lan did not get into fights nearly as often as Xu Que did, he still thought it would be good for Su Yun Lan to have these tools just in case. After all, it was easy for Xu Que to obtain new Killer Swords and Killer Books whenever he wanted.
Xu Que had made it clear that today would be his last day in the Great Change Sect. Su Yun Lan did not want him to go. But alas, she could do nothing but see him off. She knew that if she asked Xu Que to stay, he would linger for a few more days. However, she knew that ultimately he would have to leave.
While Xu Que would be happier in a bigger place, she would never be truly happy if she left the Great Change Sect. They had never been destined to become real lovers.
"Even though we are apart for now, remember, there will come a day where we will finally be together again," Xu Que said. "Wait for me! One day, I will come and pick you up on a colorful cloud!"
"Yes! I will wait for you!" Su Yun Lan said, nodding happily.
...
It was late at night. Xu Que figured that now was as good a time as any to head to the Sky Demon Tribe of the Mysterious Clan.
Xu Que was once the Shaman Demon King of the Mysterious Clan. However, he had left the area in a bit of a hurry a long time ago. He thought it was about time to pay the Sky Demon Tribe a visit.
So, in the middle of the night, Xu Que and Buttface made their departure to the Sky Demon Tribe.
The Sky Demon Tribe was carefully hidden in the Fire Nation, so it was difficult to spot. Xu Que would have never found the Sky Demon Tribe in the first place if it weren't for the Divine Tracking Emblem.
When he had first arrived, he had acted tough by disguising himself as Sun Wu Kong, also known as the Monkey King. That was the moment he became King of the entire Mysterious Clan. When Xu Que left, he passed the throne to Su Ling'er, who was a Nine Tailed Demon Fox.
It was dusk of the following day when they finally reached the forest where a few Mysterious Clan tribes were located.
"This forest is quite something, isn't it?" said Buttface. "It seems like this forest has existed since the Ancient Times."
"How do you know that it existed in the Ancient Times?" Xu Que asked, surprised.
"Shush! You must feel the truth of it with your heart," Buttface said, waving his claws.
Bang! Xu Que slapped him.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Ow!" Buttface yelled in pain, touching his head. "I'm serious! I can feel the Qi of the Ancient Times in this forest. I think there are probably some relics that have been left here. But even if that's the case, the relics have probably been eroded beyond recognition after so many years. By the way, why on earth did you want to come here of all places?!"
"Shut up! I told you already! I'm here to visit people, not look for relics. Why did you even decide to come with me in the first place?" Xu Que said. He shook his head while scanning the forest in front of him.
I wonder how Su Ling'er has been doing. I left here in a hurry last time I was here. I left them nine God Powered Cannons, but even a force that strong isn't guaranteed to protect them. After all, the Demonic Beast Clan severely outnumbers the Sky Demon Tribe.
"By the way, Buttface, you come from the Demonic Beast Clan, right?"
"Of course not." Buttface replied, stunned. "I come from the Holy Beast Clan!"
"Even so, I am sure that the Sky Demon Tribe will try to attack you when we walk in."
"Why?!" Buttface asked in shock.
"Because there is enmity between the Mysterious Clan and the Demonic Beast Clan!"
"The Mysterious Clan? What kind of clan is this?"
"Well, they are the offspring of the human race and the Demonic Beast Clan. In other words, the members of this clan are half human, half devil."
"What?! I mean… sounds pretty normal to me. You know that the members of this clan are very powerful and talented, right? Once there was a strong man from this clan who was called the Great Sage of Suparna. He almost managed to rule the entire East Continent as well as the entire South Continent. However, it seems that he ended up going to Spiritual Realm before he could fully conquer them both," Buttface said.
Xu Que frowned and shook his head.
"There are not very many members of the Mysterious Clan. Since they are hated by both humans and the Demonic Beast Clan, it is difficult for them to thrive."
"If they are so small, then why would they still want to attack me?! I don't have anything against them!" Buttface complained.
"It doesn't matter. They still might mistake you as a member of the Demonic Beast Clan. Since they hate anyone who is from that Clan, I suggest you be on your best behavior when we enter," Xu Que said with a smile.
"If I behave myself, does that mean I'll be fine?"
"No, if you behave yourself, then maybe they will less harsh on you."
"F*ck!"
…
They headed deeper into the forest.
Xu Que still remembered the path that led to the Holy Demon Tribe and quickly found the cave entrance. The cave entrance had not changed one bit. Strange. He had expected the Demon King to make some improvements to it.
Since he had left, Su Ling'er changed the tribe's name from the Holy Demon Tribe to the Sky Demon Tribe. This new name definitely sounded more superior, especially since the Sky Demon Tribe's leader was the empress of the entire Mysterious Clan.
When they passed through the cave, Xu Que was shocked by what he saw.
The trees were all destroyed, so were the houses. Dust covered everything.
When Xu Que first came here, this place was like another Shangri-la. The mountain was green, the water was clear, and the men were plowing in the field while the women knitted at home. Everything was so harmonious.
But now, everything was ruined and deserted. Xu Que could not sense a single living thing here.
"How can this be…" Xu Que was stunned.
I left them nine God Powered Cannons. Even if they had been ambushed by a herd of Demonic Beasts, they should have been able to defeat them easily.
What on earth happened?! Who did this?! Where is Su Ling'er?!
Xu Que was so angry that he almost went crazy.
"How strange! I smell something that is strangely familiar…" Buttface said. He then ran to the open field in front of them.

490 The Largest Crisis of the Mysterious Clan
Chapter 490: The Largest Crisis of the Mysterious Clan
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Whoosh!
It was quite rare for Buttface to be so serious. He dashed out to the clearing and started digging.
Xu Que was a bit stunned. He followed Buttface, almost in a daze.
"What did you find?" Xu Que asked.
"It seems like there is an aura here that belongs to a certain kind of spell formation. I have mastered a spell formation that has a similar aura," Buttface replied as he continued to dig.
Soon, Buttface had dug up some stones that were imprinted with runes.
"D*mn!" Buttface shouted. "This is a spell formation alright, but it was imprinted recently!"
"Is this the formation of a Teleportation Spell?" Xu Que asked, furrowing his eyebrows. Although he was a Spell Master, his level was quite low. However, he could still sense that this was a Teleportation Spell because of the aura of the spell formation.
"Yes," Buttface nodded. "This spell formation is derived from the 'Nine Dragons Spell.' Although it is not authentic, it is still a remarkable bi-directional Teleportation Spell. It seems like someone imprinted the spell formation here to allow people in from the outside. A great battle was fought here shortly after the spell was imprinted.
"You know so much!" Xu Que said. He glanced at Buttface curiously.
He had to admit, Buttface had profound knowledge in some fields, especially when it came to spells. Although Buttface didn't show off this knowledge, Xu Que knew he must be an expert.
However, the most important issue now was to find the Sky Demon Tribe. From the information Buttface had gathered, it was easy to infer that a mole must have appeared within the tribe. When the time was right, the mole imprinted the Teleportation Spell so that enemies from the outside could attack the Sky Demon Tribe from within.
If this was the case, it could explain why the Sky Demon Tribe was breached under the protection of nine God Powered Cannons. Su Ling'er and her people were attacked by surprise and thus, were ill-prepared.
"Little brat, judging by the aura of this spell formation, I figure this spell was imprinted two months ago. I'm afraid you are too late," Buttface said, shaking his head.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows a bit and looked around. Suddenly, became calm and breathed a secret sigh of relief.
"There is no smell of blood here. There aren't any bodies for several miles around. I guess they were captured alive, or maybe they just… escaped!"
"What? You're right! We haven't found any bodies! D*mn! Are people so immoral now? Why did they destroy the corpses after the battle?" Buttface said in surprise.
Xu Que's mouth twitched. He hit Buttface's forehead hard and cursed.
"A filthy mouth can't utter decent language! If they really destroyed the bodies, this place would be filled with the smell of blood! Stop talking nonsense! Just go and search for useful clues!"
"Ouch! If you are not a coward, then don't hit me in the head!" Buttface said.
After giving a miserable cry, Buttface cooperatively started to search for clues. But of course, judging from Buttface's personality, he was probably just searching for anything that he saw as valuable.
Xu Que just ignored Buttface. He started to survey the ruins nearby with his Soul Strength.
While it was true that he assumed that Su Ling'er and her people were still alive, he knew that it might just be false hope. If he were to discover that this tragedy really occurred, it would be very difficult for him to accept the truth.
Crash!
Xu Que heard a dull sound. He turned around to see Buttface crushing a big rock with his foot. He then saw Buttface pick up a scrap of black iron under the remains of the rock. After examining it, Buttface looked at it in disgust, figuring that he had found nothing more than a piece of junk. He was about to throw it away when Xu Que shouted at him.
"Stop!"
Xu Que ran over to Buttface, his eyes fixed on the scrap of iron. He recognized this piece of iron. It was a piece of iron that he had refined himself. He used this iron to forge the nine God Powered Cannons. It seemed that this God Powered Cannon had been destroyed.
Who did this? Whoever they were, they must have been very powerful; otherwise, the God Powered Cannon could never have been destroyed.
Xu Que looked grave. This iron scrap proved that Su Ling'er and her people had faced a situation more dangerous than Xu Que had imagined. However, he could do nothing about it. He didn't even know their whereabouts.
"Little brat! Look at this," Buttface shouted.
Whoosh!
Xu Que dashed to the place solemnly. Under the ruins, Buttface found traces of a different Teleportation Spell. Spirit Stone ashes were scattered all around the area. Apparently, someone had damaged the spell with brute force.
"Even though the Teleportation Spell formation is smashed up, there is still a trace of aura left! It was probably set up in a hurry…"
"Buttface, check the destination of this Teleportation Spell!" Xu Que said. If Buttface really was an expert in spells, he could definitely figure it out.
Buttface opened his mouth, stunned. He hadn't expected Xu Que to ask him to do something like this. However, he wasted no time. He touched the ground with his paw. Suddenly, the whole area became showered with light. Soon, numerous Spiritual Qi gathered together in the air to complete the spell.
At first, the spell appeared to be functional. However, nothing was happening. It seemed that the spell's original form had been temporarily restored by the Spiritual Qi, but it could not be used for some reason.
However, Xu Que was still shocked. Buttface's cultivation in spells was really profound and remarkable! Perhaps he had other spells which he had mastered that he just hadn't revealed yet.
Even though the spell was no longer functional, Buttface was still able to discern where the spell was supposed to lead.
"This spell led to a place in the southeast, somewhere tens of thousands of miles away," Buttface said with complete certainty.
Xu Que nodded. He could also sense the destination of the spell. Moreover, he had been there before. The Teleportation Spell led to Demon City where he was pronounced Demon King.
"It seems they managed to activate the spell and flee to Demon City," Xu Que said, letting out a sigh of relief. At least there was still a glimmer of hope.
"Don't hold your breath, little brat," Buttface said, shaking his head. "This spell was also set up two months ago. Even if they managed to flee to a place tens of thousands of miles away, their pursuers would have caught up to them by now."
"We need to set up the spell again," Xu Que said.
Xu Que took out a pile of Spirit Stones. He quickly started to set up a Teleportation Spell.
Buttface was a bit shocked at Xu Que's determination. He was still getting used to Xu Que's unique personality.
…
Meanwhile, in Demon City, tens of thousands of miles away...
A group of Mysterious Clan people were gathering in the Imperial Palace Tower. Several God Powered Cannons were placed outside the door. The cannons were being operated by several powerhouses at the Original Infant Stage. These powerhouses were looking straight ahead with solemn expressions.
However, inside the tower, numerous people of the Mysterious Clan were lying injured on the ground. Most of these people were bleeding profusely. The most seriously injured ones only had half a body left, but they were still alive. These people could only wail and gasp for breath.
This might very well be the largest crisis in the history of the Mysterious Clan. Every member of this clan had been driven to the tower. The siege had lasted for two months so far.
The people of the Mysterious Clan had almost reached their limit. Over the past two months, countless of their fellow men had died in battle. Most of the people who survived were severely injured and couldn't defend the tower anymore.
"Alas, the extinction of our clan is coming," said an old man, sighing in despair. His right arm had been cut off.
The rest people of the Mysterious Clan fell silent and looked out the tower windows. Countless bodies of both Mysterious Clan members and Demonic Beasts were on the ground, dead. Not far away, tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts were glaring at the tower, like tigers looking at their prey.
However, the battle was stopped temporarily, for two figures, the Kings of the two clans, were having a duel in the air.

491 The Head of the Exploding Heavens Faction Came Back
Chapter 491: The Head of the Exploding Heavens Faction Came Back
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang!
In the sky above Demon City, two powerful figures were fighting against each other.
One was in white, the other was in black. The two kept chanting the magic inscriptions in an effort to harm each other. Because of this, the whole sky was lit up with a rainbow of color.
As Nine Tailed Demon Fox, Su Ling'er was very talented. She was in the second level of the Infant Transformation Stage.
Her opponent, who was in black, was in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage. He was so powerful that the very essence of matter around him twisted into void at his command.
Bang!
They had been fighting for many hours. Soon, Su Ling'er could no longer fight back. She staggered backward. Blood flew out of her mouth and stained her white clothes.
"Su Ling'er, I suggest you give in and surrender to me," the man said. "As long as you and your peers agree to be my slaves for eternity, I might keep you alive," he sneered.
"Lin Yi, if you dare to destroy my clan, Sun Wu Kong will hunt you down, no matter where you are!" Su Ling'er said coldly.
"Haha! Sun Wu Kong? You mean the former Demon King who was in the Original Infant Stage? Why on earth should I be afraid of him?!" Lin Yi sneered, shaking his head. "Yes, he indeed killed one of my lords with his God Powered Cannon. However, if it were not for that lord's incompetence and over-confidence, he could not possibly have killed anyone in my clan. Besides, I can simply smash any God Powered Cannon with my fist."
"Really?! How about the Exploding Heavens Faction? Dare you say you are not afraid it?" Su Ling'er said.
"Su Ling'er, as far as I am concerned, the members of the Exploding Heavens Faction are all human. Perhaps you have forgotten. The Mysterious Clan has never had a good relationship with humans! Besides, I have never heard anything about this so-called Sun Wu Kong from anyone except yourself"
"..." Su Ling'er was speechless and her face turned extremely pale.
She had been trying to search for Sun Wu Kong during the past year. She had heard about Xu Que and Hua Wu Que from the Exploding Heavens Faction, but she had heard nothing about Sun Wu Kong… Because of this, her peers had doubts about the Shaman Demon King being a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction. After all, it was not unusual for a Shaman Demon King to lie.
"You have been fighting us for two months and have lost many peers. You cannot save your people from being ruined. Why not just give in and surrender while I am still in a good mood. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you all," Lin Yi smiled.
If Lin Yi had really wanted to kill the entire Mysterious Clan, he could have done it a month ago. However, he wanted to capture some members of the Mysterious Clan and make them his slaves. Once he did this, he would be famous and even be elected to be the next King of the Demonic Beast Clan.
"Really, there is no need to prolong this battle any longer," he said.
Su Ling'er was badly injured and was about to collapse at any moment. She then began to recall the memories she had of Sun Wu Kong.
He was so tough that he would scare off Heavenly Tribulations. Once, when my peers were surrounded by Demonic Beasts, he alone killed the head of the Demonic Beast Clan who was in the Infant Transformation Stage.
Now he is gone and we are under the attack of the Demonic Beasts again. My peers are almost wiped out. We have been here for almost two months. He still has not shown himself.
Thinking of this, Su Ling'er felt the fire of hope in her heart begin to die out.
"Does this mean my clan is going to be wiped out today? Does this mean we will just… disappear?!" Su Ling'er said. "Sun Wu Kong, where are you?!"
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que had arrived at Demon City, the city of the Demonic Beast Clan.
Since he did not take the time to properly set up a teleportation array, he failed to arrive at the center of the city. Instead, he arrived at a place that was just miles away from the city.
"F*ck! How come there are so many Demonic Beasts here?!" Buttface said. He was shocked by what he saw.
Xu Que hurriedly looked into the distance and spotted Su Ling'er.
She is still alive! What good fortune!
"Buttface! Come! Let's kill those Demonic Beasts. Later, I will reward you with delicious Stinky Tofu," Xu Que said in a low voice. He then headed towards the city.
…
Inside the city, many severely injured members of the Mysterious Clan were already deeply buried in desperation. Su Xiao Qi was one of them. When she saw her sister standing outside, she shouted at her.
"Enough! Sister! Sun Wu Kong will not come back! Neither will the Exploding Heavens Faction. Sun Wu Kong was never a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction to begin with. Let's just surrender to him! Sister!"
If it's between being wiped out or surrendering, you should choose to surrender, Su Xiao Qi thought. I am sure that as long as I am still alive, I can find an opportunity to take revenge on the Demonic Beasts Clan and reestablish the Mysterious Clan!
Su Ling'er gently shook her head.
"We should never give up, no matter if Sun Wu Kong comes back or not. If we give in, our clan will suffer!"
"So, do you really want our clan to be wiped out?!" Su Xiao Qi asked. She was still very young. She had no idea what would actually happen if they surrendered.
Su Ling'er shook her head again.
"Sun Wu Kong must be a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction. If he wasn't, he could not possibly have created the God Powered Cannons. Even if we all die, I am sure that he would avenge us."
"Hahaha! Su Ling'er, you are so naive!" Lin Yi said with a laugh. "You still think that the Exploding Heavens Faction will send someone to save you, avenge you?! Even your younger sister is more practical than you! Give up!"
"Hahaha!" The Demonic Beasts all laughed. They began to mock Su Ling'er.
"She is a member of the Mysterious Clan and she hopes a human from the Exploding Heavens Faction will come to save her?! This is ludicrous!"
"Your former King, Sun Wu Kong, is just a liar! He can not possibly be a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction."
"Even if he is, it would not make any difference. We are not afraid of the Exploding Heavens Faction at all."
"Human cultivators are far more feeble than we Demonic Beasts."
"Yes! The Exploding Heavens Faction is made up of a bunch of losers!"
"That Monkey King is just a prank. You are so silly to believe in him."
They were laughing louder and louder.
The members of the Mysterious Clan were getting more and more worried and their faces were getting paler by the minute.
"Su Ling'er, surrender!" Lin Yi said. "Stop daydreaming! Even if Sun Wu Kong or the Exploding Heavens Faction comes, you are destined to die together with all your peers. You are too naive to be the head of your clan."
Su Ling'er was about to say something, but suddenly, there was a sound as loud as thunder.
Bang!
More than ten figures were traveling to the city by running on the tops of thunderclouds.
"By order of Sun Wu Kong, the head of the Exploding Heavens Faction, I, Xu Que, am coming to help!"
"By order of Sun Wu Kong, the head of the Exploding Heavens Faction, I, Hua Wu Que, am coming to help!"
"By order of Sun Wu Kong, the head of the Exploding Heavens Faction, I, Ye Liang Chen, am coming to help!"
"By order of Sun Wu Kong, the head of the Exploding Heavens Faction, I, Wu Wu Kai, am coming to help!"
"By order of Sun Wu Kong, the head of the Exploding Heavens Faction, I, Xue Zhi Qian, am coming to help!"

492 Everyone, Keep Shouting!
Chapter 492: Everyone, Keep Shouting!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Eleven figures! They arrived just like they had before in the Great Change Sect assembly hall, wearing black robes and masks. What a majestic and mysterious organization!
Their voices caused everyone's eardrums to tremble. It was as if the sound was coming from the universe itself.
Everyone was silent, staring at the eleven unbelievable figures descending from the sky. The eleven figures landed majestically. All of them were powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage!
The Exploding Heavens Faction… is really here!
Moreover, Sun Wu Kong is… the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!
How could a monkey at the Original Infant Stage become the Faction Leader of so many powerhouses?
My Gosh! How can this be possible?
This really shocked Su Ling'er and her people. Sun Wu Kong had told them that he was a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, but he had never said anything about being the Faction Leader.
Since the Mysterious Clan hadn't heard anything about Sun Wu Kong since he left them, many members of the Mysterious Clan had begun to suspect that Sun Wu Kong had cheated them. However, now that they knew he was the Faction leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction, everything began to make sense.
This explains everything!
No wonder we haven't heard of any news about Sun Wu Kong. The Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction has always been mysterious and unknown.
Now we finally understand. Since no one knew who the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction was, it makes sense that we received no news about Sun Wu Kong.
The Demonic Beasts were terrified. Before, they thought Sun Wu Kong meant nothing. They didn't know that Sun Wu Kong was actually a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, much less the Faction Leader!
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! How…could a monkey of the Mysterious Clan, who is only at the Original Infant Stage, be your leader?" Lin Yi of the Demonic Beast Clan asked in disbelief.
Lin Yi's face fell. As a powerhouse at level four of the Infant Transformation Stage, he was very powerful. However, in front of so many powerhouses at level three of the Infant Transformation Stage, he became nervous.
Whoosh!
The eleven figures fixed their cold eyes on him through their masks. A sharp voice then broke the silence.
"Who told you I am only at the Original Infant Stage?"
The next moment, a burst of music came in.
Dun dun dun…dun dun…dun dun dun…
The Small Swords Society Overture began to play[1]. Everyone held their breath and looked up into the sky. A figure was flying on clouds. The impassioned theme music added to the magnificence of his entrance.
Sun Wu Kong then came into full view. However, this Sun Wu Kong was actually just Xu Que in disguise. Xu Que was using the Disguise Puppet to change his appearance.
He was wearing golden chain mail, violet phoenix wings, a gold helmet, and lotus root cloud boots[2]. The Monkey King Bar in his hands was dazzling. Although it was not the legendary Monkey King Bar, it was enough to shock everyone. The clouds slowed to a stop and began to disperse from underneath his feet.
Boom!
Sun Wu Kong landed on the ground, cracking it with his heavy landing. His presence was so domineering that no one dared to look him in the eye.
"How…could this be possible?"
"Level three of the Infant Transformation Stage!"
Everyone was shocked.
Over one year ago, this monkey was just at level six of the Original Infant Stage. Now he had reached level three of the Infant Transformation Stage. This progress was hard for people to believe.
How could such an outrageous thing happen?
This must be a fake monkey, right?
"Sun Wu Kong!" Su Ling'er exclaimed delightfully. She let out a breath of relief. She was filled with endless joy and pleasant surprise.
The Mysterious Clan was on the verge of extinction. Su Ling'er and her people had almost lost their faith and were ready to face their death. But at last, Sun Wu Kong had arrived, and in such a domineering and majestic way.
"I'm late!" Xu Que said solemnly, looking at the countless bodies of Mysterious Clan members on the battlefield,
"Are you Sun Wu Kong?" Lin Yi asked suddenly.
Lin Yi's question had very bad timing and was asked with a very bad attitude. Xu Que was already angry because of how many of the Mysterious Clan members were dead. Lin Yi's comment just added fuel to his rage.
"F*ck you! Stop wasting my time! Taste my Monkey King Bar!" Xu Que cursed.
Xu Que jumped up and swung his bar directly at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's expression fell. He then started to use magic arts to defend himself. He had never met such a straightforward person, someone who just attacked at first sight. This was outrageous!
However, he was not frightened. He was never afraid when he was engaged in close combat scenarios. In fact, the reason he had addressed Sun Wu Kong in the first place was to prevent the members of the Exploding Heavens Faction from attacking him all at once. After all, he was definitely outnumbered and knew he couldn't fight them all at the same time.
"You are seeking death!" Lin Yi snorted.
Lin Yi clenched his fists. A black shadow appeared behind him. It looked just like a giant ox head.
Seeing this, Su Ling'er shouted at Xu Que.
"Be careful, Sun Wu Kong! He is an ox demon. The ox demon bloodline is very powerful. Please, be careful!"
Bang!
Xu Que's Monkey King Bar collided with Lin Yi's fist. Both of them were blown away by the airwaves that resulted from the collision.
The Monkey King Bar in Xu Que's hands was completely destroyed. This shocked him a bit.
This ox demon really is powerful! No wonder he was able to destroy the God Powered Cannon. His physique is remarkably strong.
Mysterious Clan was frightened on behalf of Xu Que whereas the Demonic Beasts were smiling. They were proud of the strength of their leader.
However, Lin Yi was even more shocked than Xu Que. He couldn't believe this monkey could be so powerful as to break even with him in such a direct collision.
Lin Yi had just recently reached level four of the Infant Transformation Stage. However, he had increased strength because of this bloodline. On top of this, he had learned an ancient physique strengthening art. Therefore, he was strong enough to win against cultivators at level six of the Infant Transformation Stage in the Demonic Beast Clan.
But now, he was losing against a little monkey who was only at level three of the Infant Transformation Stage. How could this be happening!?
"Your magic artifact is gone. How do you expect to fight me now?" Lin Yi said with a cold smile. He was trying to intimidate Xu Que.
However, Xu Que just smiled disdainfully.
"Without my magic artifact, your defeat will be even more miserable!"
Seeing that Xu Que was going to fight with only his fists, the people of the Mysterious Clan were very anxious. The Demonic Beasts were gloating sarcastically.
Ignoring the other Demonic Beasts, Xu Que clenched his fist and performed the Hell King's Prison Suppression Style. Lightning bolts and flames started to flow on the surface of his body. This indicated that his cultivation of these two elements had been completed. He dashed directly towards Lin Yi.
Bang!
Another direct collision, this time fist against fist! The power from this collision was even more formidable than the last one. It seemed like the very air itself was about to crack under the pressure of the collision.
Rumble!
Lin Yi was blown away. His knuckles were broken and bleeding.
Xu Que, on the other hand, was unscratched. He was smiling coldly.
The consequence of this collision shocked everyone.
"I told you your defeat would be more miserable without the magic artifact!" Xu Que said majestically.
Everyone fell silent. Everyone in the Mysterious Clan held their mouths agape. The Demonic Beast Clan was also totally dumbfounded. Their King, who had the strongest physique of them all, was severely injured by a monkey's fist!
When the Mysterious Clan came to their senses, they started to shout with excitement.
"Shaman Demon King!"
"Shaman Demon King!"
"Shaman Demon King!"
…
Xu Que's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Sh*t! Don't call me Dirty Demon King[3], OK? How could I be dirty by hitting someone with my fist? Lin Yi! You are the Dirty Demon King!
In his anger, Xu Que tried to punch Lin Yi in the chest, but Lin Yi blocked the attack this his good hand.
Puff!
Lin Yi was shocked. This guy was still attacking him!?
Even though Lin Yi blocked Xu Que's punch, the blow was still enough to injure him. He spat a mouthful of fresh blood.
Before Lin Yi had time to react, Xu Que punched him a second time. And a third time. And a fourth! He just kept punching!
"Shaman Demon King! Shaman Demon King!"
Seeing Xu Que punch the living daylights out of Lin Yi, the people of the Mysterious Clan became even more excited. Their cheers were never-ending.
As Xu Que became angrier and angrier, his punches became faster and faster. He then gave Lin Yi a one-two punch that launched him into the sky like a sandbag before he came crashing back down to the ground.
Bang!
Bang!
...Bang!
Lin Yi could barely defend himself, let alone fight back. He could clearly sense that Xu Que was becoming angrier. Why else would his punches be increasing in speed like this? Lin Yi was in tearless grief. He spit up more blood.
Why are you so mad at me? Why is your punching becoming more and more ferocious?
"Look!" a member of the Mysterious Clan said in surprise. "It seems our Shaman Demon King's attack is becoming more and more ferocious!"

493 Well, We Shall Make Their “Wishes“ Come True
Chapter 493: Well, We Shall Make Their "Wishes" Come True
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang!
Xu Que hit Lin Yi so hard that he flew across the sky.
Blood oozed from Lin Yi's body. Although his body was strong because of his bloodline, he still could not stand Xu Que's punches. As his body crashed to the ground, he realized that he could not hope to win against Xu Que.
The members of the Mysterious Clan that were outside the tower of the Demon King's palace continued to shout, hoping to boost Xu Que's morale.
"Shaman Demon King!"
"Shaman Demon King!"
By rooting for Sun Wu Kong, they were also letting the dozens of injured people in the tower know that they were now winning the battle since most of the people in the tower were too wounded to even see what was going on.
Thousands of Demonic Beasts were standing outside and looking fiercely at Xu Que, like a bunch of tigers staring at their prey.
Xu Que walked over to the helpless Lin Yi.
"You are really pathetic," he sneered. "I thought you were going to be tough since you inherited the Ox Demon bloodline. I never thought you would be so feeble."
"Sun Wu Kong, even if you defeat me, you still cannot help them. As soon as I give the order, all the members of the Mysterious Clan will be killed," Lin Yi shouted in anger.
I am a member of the Demonic Beast Clan, Lin Yi thought. I even inherited the bloodline of the Ox Demons. Yet, I have been physically defeated by someone from the Mysterious Clan! How pathetic!
"So you want your Demonic Beasts to attack me together since you failed to kill me one on one?" Xu Que joked.
Thousands of Demonic Beasts? Really, it's just a piece of cake to me, Xu Que thought.
The members of the Mysterious Clan were not as confident as Xu Que was. Even though they had the God Powered Cannons, they still felt like they couldn't possibly to win with so few members of the Mysterious Clan left standing. Once the thousands of Demonic Beasts made their attack against their little force of about a hundred people, they would be done for.
By this time, Su Ling'er had walked over to Xu Que.
"Sun Wu Kong, we'd better retreat," Su Ling'er whispered to Xu Que.
"There is no need, believe me. Once they dare to move one step, I shall kill them all," Xu Que said confidently.
Suddenly, Su Ling'er felt Xu Que's hands on her waist. She blushed as she felt his hands gradually moving downward.
"Sun Wu Kong, stop, please," Su Ling'er said, staring at Xu Que.
"Sorry, I just can't help it."
"Now is not the time for this. I have lost countless peers in battle. We have to try our best to keep the rest alive," Su Ling'er said with a serious face.
"You mean once I keep them all alive, we can have sex?!" Xu Que asked, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Stop being like this." Su Ling'er blushed. She was so embarrassed!
"Like I said, they are just a piece of cake to me! Hahaha!" Xu Que said, laughing hard. "Leave here in half an hour. Otherwise, I shall kill you all."
Hearing this, all the Demonic Beasts were a bit afraid. After all, Xu Que was in the Infant Transformation Stage and had already defeated their leader. However, none of them retreated because if they did, they would become the biggest laughing stock in the world. Thousands of Demonic Beasts, frightened off by someone from the Mysterious Clan?! They couldn't allow this to happen.
Lin Yi sneered. He did not believe that Xu Que could kill thousands of Demonic Beasts all by himself, even with his ten helpers.
"Sun Wu Kong, how dare you be so arrogant?! We both know that if you face my army of Demonic Beasts, you and your faction members would also be badly injured."
"Save your worry for me. I can promise you that not a single life will be lost on my side. Just bring it on!"
"I never thought you would be as stubborn as this Su Ling'er! Stop talking nonsense! I will agree to retreat if you give me ten people from your side," Lin Yi said.
As long as I manage to bring ten captives back, I will not become a laughing stock, Lin Yi thought.
Hearing this, Xu Que was amused. Wu Wu Kai began to speak.
"Who do you think who you are?! How dare you make such an absurd request! I warn you, if you and your peers move one step forward, I shall kill you all!" Wu Wu Kai said.
Hearing this, Lin Yi and his peers were astonished and furious.
Xu Que smiled as he secretly controlled his doppelgangers. He stared at the Demonic Beasts on the ground, sizing them up to see if he could kill them all in one hit.
The survivors inside the tower of the Demon King's palace were worried and afraid. They knew they were under the protection of ten strong men of the Infant Transformation Stage. Still, they felt insecure.
Bang!
He activated the thunder essence inside his body. The thunder essence began to flow to his arm.
"Sun Wu Kong, you really intend to become the enemy of the Demonic Beasts Clan?" Lin Yi asked.
Xu Que smiled and suddenly raised his arm up high. Many lightning bolts appeared and became intertwined. At first, the lightning was blue, then it all turned purple and became shrouded by a golden light. Finally, the lightning formed into a spinning ball of lightning energy.
"Fine! It seems that you have decided to become my enemy."
Suddenly the thousands of Demonic Beasts on the ground began to shout.
"Sun Wu Kong, you will regret this decision! Prove it to me! Prove how you can wipe out thousands of Demonic Beasts with only one strike!" Lin Yi sneered. "Everyone, go!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The earth shook as the Demonic Beasts charged towards the tower.
"Sun Wu Kong, what should we do now?!" Su Ling'er looked at Xu Que.
"I have no idea what to do!" Xu Que sighed.
"What?!" Su Ling'er asked, shocked. Her face turned pale.
He also has no idea what to do? Does this mean the Mysterious Clan is bound to be wiped out today?
"Hmm. Here is an idea. Since they want to die so desperately, I shall make their "wishes" come true!" Xu Que smiled.
Xu Que caused the rotating ball of lightning to become as large as a soccer ball. A massive amount of energy was gathering inside the ball. The ball was emitting countless rays of purple and golden light.
He was almost ready to strike...

494 Do You Like Spicy Beef?
Chapter 494: Do You Like Spicy Beef?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"What…magic art are you using?"
"This is impossible! Why do I sense the smell of Heavenly Tribulation?"
"My gosh, could it be that he has absorbed the Heavenly Tribulation and can now use it as a weapon?"
All the Demonic Beasts and Mysterious Clan people were shocked. The ball of lightning in Xu Que's hands was now so violent that everyone was terrified.
Lin Yi couldn't help stepping back. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation was familiar to him. Goosebumps rose all over his body.
"Sun Wu Kong, what are you doing? Are you summoning the Heavenly Tribulation? Do you want to get us all killed? " Lin Yi shouted.
Xu Que smiled coldly.
"Die together with you? You are really imaginative!"
Whoosh!
The ball of lightning in Xu Que's hand grew to ten times its original size. It was so large that it was almost as tall as Xu Que was.
"I said I will annihilate all of you with one move. Now I will keep my word. Just die!"
Xu Que threw out the giant ball lightning. It smashed into the army of Demonic Beasts like a falling, purple and gold sun.
Rumble!
The ball of lightning exploded. Violet and golden lightning bolts covered the ground like a sea of electric death.
The army of Demonic Beasts, which was now engulfed in a sea of lightning, began to scream. Their skin and flesh became lacerated and they were bleeding everywhere. Some Demonic Beasts were blown away by the airwaves. These were the Demonic Beasts that died instantly.
Demonic Beasts at the Golden Core Stage and the Original Infant Stage were covered by the thunders and lightnings that Xu Que had created. It was as if they were crossing the Heavenly Tribulations. Moreover, they were also experiencing the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud and the Ancient Catastrophe. All of these lightning types combined were tearing the Demonic Beasts apart.
Even Lin Yi, as the Demonic Beast King at level four of the Infant Transformation Stage, was immobilized by the lightning, which had now created numerous cuts on his body. He was bleeding all over. He felt like a tortured mouse drowning in its own blood.
"Sun Wu Kong, Stop!" Lin Yi yelled.
This time, he truly afraid for his life. He couldn't believe a person of the Mysterious Clan could be so powerful. With a formidable physique and horrible magic arts, this guy was totally unstoppable.
"Shut the f*ck up!" Xu Que snorted.
Xu Que then caused the sea of thunder and lightning on the battlefield to become more ferocious and horrible.
Rumble!
A huge shock wave surged through the Demonic Beast army. Hordes of Demonic Beasts fell to the ground and became lifeless.
The System notifications kept ringing in Xu Que's mind for successful displays of toughness and for experience bonuses. This battle was really fruitful. He just earned over 3000 Acting Tough Points and tens of millions of Experience Points. Now he was now very close to reaching level four of the Infant Transformation Stage.
"Ah!" Lin Yi screamed.
Despite his strong physique, one of his limbs was cut off by a golden lightning bolt and fell to the ground. White smoke rose from the limb. It smelled like beef. Apparently, it had been cooked by the lightning.
When Buttface, who was hiding a good distance away, got a whiff of the cooked meat, his eyes brightened. He dashed towards the dying Demonic Beasts.
"That ox leg is mine!" Buttface shouted.
Boom!
At this moment, a violet lightning bolt struck Buttface's body. He screamed bitterly and rushed back. Xu Que's eyes were wide. Buttface was unscratched. His fur was still shiny.
"You, my dog, are awesome!" Xu Que smiled.
When Buttface arrived back in the safe zone, he fell to the ground as if he had been seriously wounded.
"I am dying," he said feebly. "You need to cure me with that roasted ox leg!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi was so angry that he was almost about to spit blood.
Where did this f*cking dog come from? He is also a Demonic Beast. Why is he so crude? How dare he plan to eat my flesh?
Xu Que raised his voice so he could be heard over the thunder.
"Buttface, don't play dead. The ox demon is over there," Xu Que said, pointing to Lin Yi. "The beef on his bones is tender and delicious. Just kill him and bring the body to me."
All of the people of the Mysterious Clan were surprised.
The Shaman Demon King is so ferocious!
The battle has not even ended. Yet, he is talking about eating the enemy!
"Fellowmen of the Mysterious Clan, listen to me!" Xu Que shouted.
The people fixed their eyes on Xu Que. They thought their Shaman Demon King had something important to say.
"Please, tell me which you prefer. Boiled beef or the seared beef? And do you like spicy beef?"
"…" The people of the Mysterious Clan were speechless.
"…" Lin Yi was also speechless.
"I like both," Buttface said. "But can we please prepare it without the spicy seasoning?"
"No problem, just bring me the ingredients," Xu Que said.
Lin Yi was angry out of his mind. However, he was seriously wounded and had to focus on resisting the lightning, making it impossible for him to express himself.
"Su Ling'er, you can avenge our fellowmen now!" Xu Que said.
Xu Que took out a silver bow and handed it to Su Ling'er. He wanted her to be able to personally avenge her fallen members.
This bow was a six-star magic artifact that Xu Que had purchased from the System. It was more than sufficient to kill the seriously-wounded Lin Yi.
"OK!" she said.
Su Ling'er took the silver bow without any hesitation. She looked at Lin Yi coldly.
The deaths of her peers were so fresh… For two months now, Lin Yi and his clan had been killing her people. The Demonic Beast army had been too powerful. No matter how hard they fought, they were never able win. They were ready to surrender and become slaves to the Demonic Clan.
However, now the tides had turned. She was ready to take her revenge!
Whoosh!
A strand of glowing energy flew from her hand. Then she drew the bow. Spiritual Qi gathered from all directions to form an arrow. She pointed the arrow at Lin Yi's chest.
"Lin Yi, now it's your turn to enjoy the feeling of being someone's prey. Today, I commemorate the members of the Mysterious Clan who were slaughtered by you. For the sacrifice, I will use your blood!" Su Ling'er's said. Her voice was clear, forceful and cold.
"No, stop!" Lin Yi said.
Lin Yi was totally frightened. He sensed the pressure of impending death.
Thud!
The arrow pierced directly through Lin Yi's heart.
Bleck!
Lin Yi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His entire body was now engulfed by the lightning. He was no longer able to resist it.
Rumble!
Several golden lightning bolts struck Lin Yi, tearing open the rest of his flesh. Finally, Lin Yi's body into a mist of blood.
"No!" Buttface yelled, letting out a heart-wrenching scream. "That was my seared beef!"
"Su Ling'er, how about some dog meat for tonight's dinner?" Xu Que asked with a smile.
"F*ck!" Buttface cursed and fled.
"Before you left, you said you were going to cook noodles for me sometime, right?" Su Ling'er asked with a smile.
"Eh, what kind of noodles you want to eat?" Xu Que asked.

495 It’s True! I Am Xu Que
Chapter 495: It’s True! I Am Xu Que
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At last, the battle between the Mysterious Clan and the Demonic Beast Clan was over, and almost all the Demonic Beasts were wiped out.
Lin Yi, as well as countless Demonic Beasts in the Golden Core and Original Infant Stages, had been destroyed by the lighting. Only some Demonic Beasts that were in lower stages survived. This was because they were out of range of Xu Que's lightning.
Xu Que's Acting Tough Points had increased by more than three thousand points. His Experience Points had also increased to tens of millions of points. He was now in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage.
Unfortunately, he could not bring the dead back to life.
The severely injured members of the Mysterious Clan quickly recovered after they took the medicine that Xu Que gave them. Once they had regained their strength, they began to clear the battlefield and bury their peers.
That day, Xu Que, Su Ling'er decided to stay the night on the third floor of the tower. The rest of the members planned to stay the night in the tower as well.
Once they were on the third floor of the tower, Su Ling'er told Xu Que why Lin Yi had attacked: the Demonic Beast Clan wanted to build up prestige among other clans by capturing members of the Mysterious Clan. In order to do this, they successfully beguiled one or two members from each tribe of the Mysterious Clan to work in collusion with them once the Demonic Beast Clan launched their attack.
Su Ling'er also told him that the teleportation arrays were now broken. These teleportation arrays were supposed to provide two-way teleportation, but now they could now only teleport people one way. On top of this, the arrays could now only support short-distance teleportation.
All of this information about the arrays surprised Xu Que. However, he felt no need to learn how to fix the Mysterious Clan's arrays since he knew that Buttface knew how to make them better ones.
"Sun Wu Kong, can you tell me where Xu Que is?" Su Xiao Qi asked. "He disappeared as soon as the battle was over. He was also wearing a mask the whole time. I didn't even get the chance to meet him in person," Su Xiao Qi said while moving her red tail.
To meet me in person? What does she want from me?
"Please, I really want to meet him."
"Tell me, what will you do when you see him," Xu Que smiled.
"It's none of your business. Just tell him to come. I want to meet him," Su Xiao Qi said.
"I shall not," Xu Que replied.
"I want to meet him!" Su Xiao Qi said, getting a bit angry.
"Sun Wu Kong, don't joke with her. Since you've been gone, the Exploding Heavens Faction has become very famous amongst the Fire Nation. The young man called Xu Que has become particularly famous. We have also heard that he is very handsome, gentle and just brilliant. Xiao Qi has heard so much about him during the past year. She admires him very much and wants to meet him in person."
Hearing this, Xu Que felt very happy.
I never thought this little arrogant girl who calls me "dead monkey" all the time would be so crazy about me. Why on earth does she admire me? There are plenty of brilliant men in my Faction. Wait a minute… no matter who she chose to admire in the Exploding Heavens Faction, she would inevitably admire me…
Xu Que tried hard to suppress his urge to laugh.
"Su Xiao Qi, I never thought you were the type of person who would be so crazy about someone."
"Dead monkey, it is my business. Unlike you, Xu Que is young, handsome and very promising. You are just repulsive," Su Xiao Qi said, rolling her eyes at him.
"Su Xiao Qi, it's not good to consider the person you admire to be on the same level as a god," Xu Que said.
"Says who?! I don't care what you say, he IS my God! Why are you being so difficult?"
"What if I told you that I was Xu Que…?" Xu Que said, smiling.
"Nonsense! How dare you compare yourself to him?!"
"..." Xu Que was speechless.
Still, Xu Que felt it was time to show them who he really was. While it was true that he came back to see Su Ling'er and the rest of the clan members, he also wanted to do something that would change the fate of the Mysterious Clan.
After a while, Xu Que spoke again.
"I have a secret, and I think it's time to tell you."
"What?!" Su Ling'er said.
Su Ling'er was surprised. So was Su Xiao Qi.
Why has he suddenly become so serious?
"Well, the thing is, I never belonged to the Mysterious Clan."
"What?!"
Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi were puzzled.
When Su Ling'er first met Xu Que, she had her doubts about him being a member of the Mysterious Clan since he behaved rather strangely for a member. However, they both went through the Heavenly Tribulations together, the ones located in the Mysterious Clan's homeland. No one other than members of the Mysterious Clan could have gone through these Heavenly tribulations, which is how she knew he was a true member.
But now, Xu Que was telling them that he had never belonged to the Mysterious Clan. This couldn't be possible.
Su Ling'er laughed. She believed that he was joking with them.
"Sun Wu Kong, are you serious?!" Su Xiao Qi asked. "If you do not belong to the Mysterious Clan, then what clan do you belong to? What are even are you if you aren't one of us?"
"I am a human," Xu Que said.
"What?!"
Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi were stunned.
A human?! Sun Wu Kong is a human? This is impossible!
"Sun Wu Kong, you can not possibly be a human. A human would not have as much fur on their body as you do," Su Xiao Qi said.
"I just changed how I look, and the name Sun Wu Kong is fake."
"Nonsense! I don't buy it," Su Xiao Qi said, looking at him.
Su Ling'er was completely stunned and didn't know what to think.
"Sister, don't tell me you buy his words. We both know he likes telling jokes," Su Xiao Qi said.
"He is not joking," said Su Ling'er, shaking her head. She knew "Sun Wu Kong" very well. She knew he would not joke about something this. At least, not in this way.
"What?" Su Xiao Qi was shocked, "Then...what clan is he a member of? Who is he really?"
"That's what I am trying to figure out!" Su Ling'er said, staring at Xu Que. "Who are you?!"
Xu Que forced out a smile.
He did not want to tell them who he really was at all. But, he knew there was a creature buried in the Five Elements Mountain and that this creature might be the real Sun Wu Kong. He was afraid that if the creature escaped, and if it turned out to be Sun Wu Kong, it might bring cause the Mysterious Clan a lot of trouble.
Thus, he felt he needed to reveal his identity.
Besides, he wanted to do something that would totally change the fate of the Mysterious Clan. To do this, he would have to tell them who he really was first.
Xu Que took a deep breath.
"It's true! I am Xu Que!"

496 We Need Harmonious Coexistence
Chapter 496: We Need Harmonious Coexistence
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"I am Xu Que!"
Whoosh!
Xu Que deactivated his Disguise Puppet. Xu Que's body was engulfed in a dazzling light, which faded to reveal the true appearance of Xu Que.
Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi were dumbfounded. After all, they had just seen a monkey covered with golden fur transform into a gentle, majestic, pale-faced young man. It was unbelievable!
Sun Wu Kong is Xu Que, the famous young man who killed the Emperor of the Fire Nation!
Su Xiao Qi became flushed. Just before Xu Que revealed his true appearance, she had explained how much she adored him. She has no idea that she was saying those things to the real Xu Que! How embarrassing! She wished that she could hide herself from him...
D*mned monkey, d*mned Xu Que. They are all bad eggs!
"I don't understand… How did you enter our ancestral land?" Su Ling'er asked.
"I just used a secret magic art to change my temperament and appearance. Then, I concealed my cultivation level. That way, when I entered your homeland, the Lightning Pool Spell wouldn't be activated," Xu Que explained with a wry smile.
"Why did you do that?" Su Ling'er continued to ask.
"Alas," Xu Que sighed, "I did what I needed to do to abide by the rules of this world. Sometimes, you need to hide your true self to get by!"
"Were you forced to do that?" she asked, a bit surprised.
"Of course not! In this world, no one can force me to do anything! All this time you have known me, you have only known me as Sun Wu Kong. Only now have I chosen to reveal my true self to you. What a twist of fate! Don't you think?" Xu Que said ruefully.
When he first came to the Mysterious Clan, his only goal was to act as tough as possible. He hadn't expected so many things to occur as a result of just visiting the Mysterious Clan. He was even enthroned as the Demon King of the Mysterious Clan just because of acting tough in front of them.
Su Ling'er still remembered the time when she first met Xu Que. Xu Que was disguised as Sun Wu Kong of course, and he was singing the song "The King Ordered Me to Patrol the Mountain" just outside the tribe of the Tiger King, which was so weird and funny.
She believed that Xu Que meant no harm in singing this song. If he had, then why would he have been so willing to help the Mysterious Clan? He had even abdicated and handed the crown over to her.
"Why didn't you tell us you are a human being at the time?" Su Ling'er asked, puzzled.
Xu Que smiled and shook his head.
"Just imagine if I told you I was a human being back then. The Mysterious Clan would have driven me away, right?"
Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi were stunned a bit, then nodded silently.
Xu Que was right. The relationship between Mysterious Clan members and humans was quite unstable. It still was. The two parties were neither friends nor enemies, but they were extremely wary of each other. If Xu Que had revealed that he was human at that time, the people of the Mysterious Clan would definitely have thought he was conspiring against them.
"Then why do you tell us now?" Su Xiao Qi asked.
Xu Que squinted his eyes and sighed deeply. Then, he became earnest and sad.
"Alas, it is because I can't stand the inner torment anymore! It is so tiresome to cheat others. One small lie must be patched up with another thousand lies for people to still believe it to be the truth. You know I am an innocent, upright and honest man. For me, to tell a lie is even worse than death!"
Xu Que was so earnest and sincere, like a cute and innocent little kid. He almost shed tears as he spoke.
Snicker!
Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing.
They may not have known his true appearance and name until just moments ago, but they knew his personality very well. They could tell that Xu Que was telling the truth before, but when he started talking about being innocent and honest, it was hard not to laugh.
Could a man like you be innocent, upright and honest? You must be kidding us, right?
Anyone in this world would be more innocent, upright and honest compared to you!
"Haha, whatever you say," Su Ling'er said, trying to compose herself. "Actually, I suspected from the very beginning that you weren't a member of our clan. However, your entry into our ancestral land assured me that you were indeed one of us. But it doesn't really matter whether you're a member or not now since you renounced the throne and gave the crown to me."
Su Ling'er was a bit irritated that Xu Que had tricked them into believing he was a member of the Mysterious Clan. However, she didn't blame him for disguising himself.
"It is one hundred percent true that I revealed myself because of my upright and honest nature," Xu Que said, "But, more importantly, I reveal myself now because I want to help the Mysterious Clan merge into this world. I want you to be free from the constant pursuit of the Demonic Beasts!"
"Merge into the world? What do you mean?" Su Ling'er asked.
Xu Que smiled. "Take all your fellowmen and follow me to the Imperial City. You will live there, together with human beings. The Demonic Beasts wouldn't dare to attack the Imperial City!"
The fact was, Xu Que could have also protected the Mysterious Clan from the Demonic Beasts by purchasing spells to keep the Demonic Beasts at bay forever. But this was beside the point.
What Xu Que really wanted was for the Mysterious Clan to live in an environment that promoted equality. He wanted them to live in a place that would provide them with freedom, fair treatment, and protection against the bullying of the Demonic Beasts and the discrimination of the humans.
"How…would this be possible? Human beings will never accept us!" Su Ling'er said, shaking her head.
Su Xiao Qi was stunned. She couldn't believe Xu Que could suggest such an absurd idea.
Live together with human beings in the Imperial City? How could this ever happen? While it's true that humans don't treat the Mysterious Clan as an enemy, they surely won't want to coexist with us. They would never allow us to move into the Imperial City.
"Of course they will accept you! Why do you think of this as something that's so impossible?" Xu Que asked, smiling. "Don't forget, no one dares to provoke the Exploding Heavens Faction in the Fire Nation. Even amongst the other four nations, nobody dares to disobey me. If someone really wants to say no to me, the other members of the Exploding Heavens Faction with reason with them!"
"…" Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi had nothing to say.
Reason with them? Su Xiao Qi thought. It is not so easy as that. In accordance with the style of the Exploding Heavens Faction, you are going to reason with them using your fists, huh.
Su Ling'er, on the other hand, was really impressed by Xu Que's words.
As the Empress of the Mysterious Clan, Su Ling'er was responsible for the prosperity of the clan. She knew that if they kept hiding from the Demonic Beast Clan like this, they would never prosper. The Mysterious Clan was in dire need of a peaceful environment to settle down in so that they could become powerful and prosperous one day.
"Stop thinking about it so hard. Just focus on packing up tonight. We will leave for the Imperial City tomorrow," Xu Que said confidently, patting Su Ling'er's shoulder.
When Xu Que last left the Imperial City, all the Princesses and Marquises of the Fire Nation expressed their support to the Exploding Heavens Faction and to Madam Ya, who was the ruler of the Imperial City.
Knowing that Madam Ya would respect his wishes, Xu Que's plan was to merge the Mysterious Clan into the lives of humans so that they could coexist harmoniously. This was the way the World of Cultivators ought to be.
"But…would the governor of the Imperial City actually say yes?" Su Ling'er asked. She was worried that Xu Que's plan would cause him more trouble than it was worth.
It was very difficult to ask one species to accept another species. Unless the governor gave special privileges to the Mysterious Clan, the human beings would only accept them after a long time.
"Don't worry, I will definitely convince her," Xu Que smiled.
"Really? Are you going to use force again?" Su Ling'er said.
Xu Que became resentful and patted his chest.
"Are you kidding me? Do you really think I'm that kind of person? We of the Exploding Heavens Faction are reasonable people. A gentleman uses his tongue, not his fists! I will convince Madam Ya with my tongue. If she is not convinced by my tongue, I will convince her with my body!"

497 Being Deeply Moved
Chapter 497: Being Deeply Moved
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Unfortunately for Xu Que, he did not get the chance to have sex with Su Ling'er that night since he wasn't able to be alone with her.
After careful consideration, Su Ling'er decided to believe Xu Que. She would go with him to the Imperial City along with the remaining survivors of the Mysterious Clan.
She walked downstairs to the first floor and told everyone the news. However, she did not tell them that Sun Wu Kong was actually Xu Que. Instead, she just told them that Sun Wu Kong could guarantee a peaceful coexistence with the humans in the Imperial City.
Everyone became very excited.
"Living in the Imperial City? How can this be possible?!"
"Although humans have never tried to hunt us or kill us, there is still a great chance that they would kill us if we were to show ourselves to them."
"Human beings simply don't like us!"
"Well, I think things might be a bit different now. After all, the whole Fire Nation is under the control of our Shaman Demon King, who is also the leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction. With his authority to protect us, I think we might be able to live peacefully with humans."
"Yes, I think you're right."
Xu Que, who was currently on the third floor, could hear what the Mysterious Clan members were saying downstairs. He then changed into the form of Sun Wu Kong and walked down to the first floor.
He stood in front of everyone and laid out a paper.
"Wo you yi ge meng xiang!" Xu Que read.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
What on earth is he speaking? A foreign language?!
"Speak in a language we can all understand! You dead monkey," Su Xiao Qi said.
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
Xu Que had modified the "I Have a Dream" speech to fit the needs of the Mysterious Clan. While this speech was originally created by Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, this speech was very touching and powerful when applied directly to the members of the Mysterious Clan.
The members of the Mysterious Clan were confused and astonished by his words.
What is he saying?! This nation will rise up? What nation? Us? All men are created equal?
He is right! All these years we have been working hard simply to be treated equally! To not be bullied by the Demonic Beasts! To have the same rights as everyone else!
Everyone began to shout.
"Shaman Demon King!"
"Shaman Demon King!"
"Shaman Demon King!"
Hearing this, Xu Que felt very upset and was about to throw the paper away.
Why do they always call me a Dirty Demon King? Can't they call me a name that sounds better? Besides, am I really a dirty man?
However, there were still some people who had not been persuaded yet.
After all, the Mysterious Clan had been living a life of seclusion in the forest for many years. They were afraid that if they went to the Imperial City without fully preparing for and considering this decision, they may lose their lives. Even if they weren't killed, they did not want to live as second citizens among the humans.
After these people had expressed their disagreement, Xu Que spoke again.
"It's up to you. Do what you like," he said. "For anyone who wants to come with me to the Imperial City, we leave tomorrow. As for those who prefer not to come, you alone will be responsible for what happens to you. I do not care if you get caught by the Demonic Beasts Clan and become their slaves. It's none of my business. I wish you all good luck."
He is right. If Sun Wu Kong leaves, we might be attacked again by the Demonic Beasts again…
The people who were originally opposed to the idea decided to change their minds. Thus, everyone now agreed to travel with Sun Wu Kong to the Imperial City. Su Ling'er was surprised at how easily Xu Que had persuaded everyone to agree with his plan.
Everyone began to cheer for Sun Wu Kong.
"Shaman Demon King!"
"Shaman Demon King!"
"Shaman Demon King!"
Xu Que couldn't bear to be called "Shaman Demon King" any longer. He threw away his paper, turned around, and began to walk toward the stairs.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
"My God! We must have deeply moved the Shaman Demon King."
"He probably never thought we would be able to still stick together after our last battle."
"The Shaman Demon King must be crying, and he does not want us to see him cry!"
As Xu Que was walking upstairs, he felt the urge to spit out blood.
Crying? Seriously?!
He stomped up the stairs, trying to think of a way to get them to stop calling him Shaman Demon King.
Suddenly, a door in front of him opened.
Xu Que immediately smelled the familiar fragrance of Su Ling'er. She smelled just like a sweet flower.
"Xu Que, are you OK?" Su Ling'er asked. Su Ling'er also thought that Xu Que must be feeling very sad and touched.
I am fine. Why on earth does everyone think I am so emotionally weak?
Su Ling'er gently placed her soft hands on Xu Que's shoulders.
"When I see everyone shouting your name together, I, too, am deeply moved by the scene. You can cry if you want, I won't mind," she said gently.
F*ck! I am not moved at all! I am feeling angry! OK!
"Don't worry, no one will disturb us here. No one else will see you."
Xu Que's eyes sparkled. If this was true, then he was finally alone with Su Ling'er! He turned around to face her, his eyes rolling with tears.
Su Ling'er was surprised. She had never seen Xu Que cry before. She never thought a man as powerful as Xu Que could also cry like a child. This made her feel rather sad. Su Ling'er silently hugged Xu Que and patted him on the back.
"I am really touched by them! I really am!" Xu Que said through his tears.
I am such a good actor! Haha!
Xu Que did not feel any shame at all for faking all this.
Can I just have sex with her already? She admires me so much! Besides, I have already conquered her!
Xu Que continued to touch her body…
At last, his head was on her long, slim, snow-white legs…
Su Ling'er thought that he was probably just tired wanted to fall asleep in her lap, so she gently ran her fingers through his hair.
The clothes covering her legs were now very wet, stained by Xu Que's tears and saliva…

498 Chapter 498
Chapter 498: Chapter 498
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was the morning two days after the battle against the Demonic Beast Clan. Xu Que woke up only to find that he was lying in bed alone. This filled him with great remorse.
I'm pissed! Last night I fell asleep and did nothing! This is truly pathetic! Not even a lousy animal would have missed a chance like that! Her long and beautiful legs were so comfortable to lie on. I couldn't help falling asleep!
"Alas!" Xu Que sighed regretfully.
Despite his disappointment, he forced himself up out of bed, opened the door and stepped out of the room. Today he would execute his species rescue plan by leading the Mysterious Clan to the Imperial City. It would be a piece of cake.
Thanks to Su Ling'er's leadership, the Mysterious Clan members were gathered together on the first floor were fully prepared for their departure. They had been waiting and ready to go for a long time now.
When Xu Que came downstairs, all people of the Mysterious Clan shouted.
"Shaman Demon King!"
This made Xu Que want to run away crying, for their cheers of "Shaman Demon King" reminded him of the wonderful opportunity last night that he let slip through his fingers.
Su Ling'er walked up to Xu Que with a smile.
"Did you sleep well last night?" she asked softly.
"No!" Xu Que replied without hesitation.
"Why?" she asked in surprise. Last night, she had left after confirming that Xu Que was asleep. She had felt relieved that Xu Que was sleeping soundly after such a long couple of days.
"I am afraid of the dark, and dare not sleep alone!" Xu Que said.
"Ha ha ha ha!" Su Xiao Qi laughed. "Shame on you! I started to sleep alone when I was 13!" she said disdainfully.
"You are really brave," Xu Que said, embarrassed.
"That's for sure!" Su Xiao Qi said. She then walked away proudly with her head high and her chest out, like a little rooster who had just won a fight.
Su Ling'er's face was flushed. She was beginning to realize what Xu Que meant. He said he dared not sleep alone. Did that mean he wanted to sleep with her?
This guy is really naughty! He is always saying something frivolous!
Trying to move past the thought of the missed opportunity last night, Xu Que decided that it was about the time to set off. He turned to Su Ling'er and began to speak.
"Ling'er, we could…"
"No, I can't, I… I am still not ready for that!"
Su Ling'er left in a hurry, her face completely red.
Xu Que was dumbfounded.
You really don't need to say it in such a bashful way! What the h*ll? Someone might misunderstand and think that I was asking her to sleep with me! This world is so dirty! How is a pure and innocent person like me to survive in this world?
Xu Que sighed wistfully and looked at the sky, raising his head at 45-degree angle.
Suddenly, a Mysterious Clan guard rushed into the tower.
"Report!" said the guard. "Your majesty, we found a suspicious dog outside the city. It must be a spy of the Demonic Beasts Clan!"
"A dog?" Xu Que was shocked until he realized that Buttface was lost.
During the battle, Xu Que asked Su Ling'er if she would like to eat dog meat, so Buttface was frightened away. If the guard hadn't reported about this, he would have forgotten about Buttface altogether.
"It's OK! That's my pet dog. You can call him Buttface," Xu Que consoled.
"Your majesty, when we found the dog, he began shouting about wanting to have a duel with us," the Mysterious Clan guard replied.
"Something is wrong with his head," Xu Que said, waving his hand. "Just ignore him. We should get going. Brace yourself and let's set off!"
"Yes, sir!" the people of the Mysterious Clan replied.
…
Outside the Imperial City of the Fire Nation, the sun was setting in the west. The evening wind carried on it the fragrance of the plentiful flowers.
With the help of Teleportation Spells, Xu Que, Buttface, and the dozens of Mysterious Clan members had arrived at the gates of the Imperial City in just three days.
However, the journey there was not the most peaceful. The people of the Mysterious Clan stuck out like a sore thumb. Many times, human beings who passed them by on the road became frightened and ran away from them. There were also a few times when large groups of armed humans drew their swords, preparing to attack them.
Xu Que had summoned his Thunder Illusion Body for this journey so that the Mysterious Clan could be accompanied by a human figure. If anyone questioned them or got in their way, the Thunder Illusion Body would scold them, saying "I am Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction. I am traveling with my friends. How dare you stand in our way!?"
Hearing the names "Exploding Heavens Faction" and "Li Bai," all the hostile human beings immediately turned around and ran away.
Ever since Xu Que killed the Emperor of the Fire Nation as well as the Old God of Killing of Tian Sha, the people of the Fire Nation trembled with fear upon hearing the name of the Exploding Heavens Faction and didn't dare to offend them.
Before Xu Que had even arrived at the Imperial City, the news of Li Bai's travels had stormed the city.
"Did you hear that Lord Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction is back?"
"Of course. I heard that he came back with some half-human-half-demon Mysterious Clan people! I don't know what he is up to."
"Could it be that he is going to attack the Imperial City?"
"Are you insane? The Imperial City is under the control of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"Right! Although Madam Ya is the ruler of the Imperial City, everyone knows Madam Ya is the woman of Lord Li Bai!"
"When Xu Que left, he said that anyone who bullies Madam Ya will be punished by the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"Holy sh*t! Something must be very wrong then. Several days ago, I heard that some young people were talking about Madam Ya in the hotel. One of them even said he wanted to sleep with Madam Ya!"
"I heard about that too. Those young people have very powerful and mysterious backgrounds!"
"I guess they are from overseas. If they were from the Five Nations, they wouldn't dare to disregard the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"It seems like the Imperial City won't stay peaceful for much longer!"
…
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace of the Fire Nation...
Madam Ya was sitting in one of the wings of the palace. She was cradling a portrait and staring at it intently.
The portrait displayed a graceful young man dressed in white. He was leaning on a door frame and looking at the sky, his head raised at 45-degree angle. He held a cigarette in his hand. He was so handsome and stylish.
Beside the portrait, there were two lines of verse – Grip the sun and moon and pick the stars. There is no person like me in this world.
"Alas!" Madam Ya sighed. Her face was filled with grief and sorrow.
Lord Li Bai, whom she adored, had left the Imperial City over a year ago. She knew that Li Bai and Xu Que were the same person. In fact, most people in the Imperial City knew this. Only a small group of people in the city still believed Li Bai and Xu Que were different people.
One of the traits that Xu Que and Li Bai had in common was the habit of saying dirty words. However, Li Bai was quite different in Madam Ya's eyes. Although Li Bai was arrogant and aloof, his literary talent was remarkable.
Ding Dong!
Someone was at the door. Madam Ya opened the door to find a kneeling maidservant.
"Madam, those young people have come back again," the maidservant said anxiously. "They…they said this is their last warning!"
"Hmph! I will not meet with them!" Madam Ya snorted as she put down the portrait.
"But…but, Madam, our scout reported that these people have unfathomable backgrounds. It is said that they come from overseas and that they are quite powerful!" the maidservant said.
"So what? When they arrived at the Imperial City, I received them with kindness. But they have been so outrageous, making those impertinent remarks. I know what they want. I'd rather die than compromise!" Madam Ya snorted, releasing a pressure from her body. Apparently, she was angry.
"Yes, of course," The maidservant said in surprise. She then left in a hurry.
After a short while, someone came to the door again.
Ding Dong!
Madam Ya furrowed her eyebrows. She opened the door.
"Now what?" she said discontentedly.
However, this time a different servant was kneeling outside the door.
"Madam, Lord…Li Bai is back!"

499 Man from the Sea Tribe
Chapter 499: Man from the Sea Tribe
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"What?! He is back!?" Madam Ya exclaimed. Finally, the man she had been missing had come back. She was thrilled.
"I have been told that Hero Li Bai is about to come into the city. I have already ordered the Guard to welcome him," the eunuch said.
"Great! I want to meet with him as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Madam Ya!" the eunuch said. He then left to make preparations for welcoming Hero Li Bai.
Madam Ya hurriedly walked away and stopped in front of a mirror. She checked to see if her make-up was still fine. She then put on a different outfit. She was full of hope, but she was also quite nervous.
Although it had only been a year, she was still worried that she might look older or not be as beautiful as she was before. Still, she could not wait to see him again so that they could once again create poems in the pavilion of the garden under the shining moon.
…
Meanwhile, the maid who told Madam Ya about the few young men from overseas hurried away from the palace. The young, pale-skinned men were at the top floor of a building, enjoying the view. The maid walked inside and met them on the top floor.
"I have told Madam Ya that you want to see her, but she still has not agreed! Also… Hero Li Bai has returned.
The young men were not surprised at all. In fact, they just laughed.
"This Madam Ya is the kind of woman that I like best!" a man in a red sweater joked. "I am sure I will enjoy myself later."
"I knew our Second Master would like her!"
"That woman thinks she is safe as long as she is under the protection of the so-called Exploding Heavens Faction. I think she is just being naive. The Exploding Heavens Faction is just a bunch of bullsh*t as far as I'm concerned."
"The Fourth Master and his accomplice have already sneaked into the Guard. He is going to meet that Hero Li Bai."
"Great! Tell the Fourth Master to bring him here. I want to teach him a lesson and make him watch us play with Madam Ya."
"We have been so lucky. That hurricane that hit us led us straight to this city where everyone is just so feeble and weak."
"I had always thought that the Five Elements Mountain was supposed to be magnificent. I never thought it would be like this. I can't even feel the Spiritual Qi here. When we return, we can bring our people back here and turn this place into our private garden."
"We can make the men here our slaves. As for the women, well, I think we will enjoy ourselves here very much."
The young men began to laugh.
The maid had always known that these young men were not kind people, but she never thought that they were so ambitious and daring as to talk about conquering the Five Nations in broad daylight. She discreetly backed away, trying to make a break for it.
Suddenly, a huge shadow flashed in front of her. An enormous snake-like thing was standing in front of her. Her eyes were wide with astonishment.
What on earth is this?!
She screamed. All at once, she was shrouded in the creature's body, preventing her from escaping the top floor. The group of young men began to laugh.
"Hahaha, young lady, where are you trying to go? Stay here and make us feel comfortable."
Their laughter echoed throughout the room…
…
Meanwhile, outside the Imperial City...
Xu Que and his peers were now inside the city. Xu Que was still disguised as Sun Wu Kong, but his Thunder Illusion Body now had the appearance of Hu Ge.
The Guard was familiar with Hu Ge's face. They also knew that if Hu Ge was here, Li Bai must also be present.
As soon as the members of the Guard saw Hu Ge, they all backed off and made way for him. After all, since the Exploding Heavens Faction had taken control of the city, the Guard's job was to simply take care of the city for them. That was why they were all so submissive.
"Out of my way!" Hu Ge yelled.
A guard hurried over, got off his horse and knelt on his knee.
"Hero Li Bai, welcome back!"
Xu Que smiled. The Thunder Illusion Body walked forward.
"You brought the carriages? Then take us to the palace right now."
"Yes!"
The kneeling guard did not dare to hesitate. Although no one had any idea why Hero Li Bai brought the Mysterious Clan to the Imperial City, they could do nothing but to do as they had been told.
The members of the Mysterious Clan felt a bit awkward with everyone staring at them. Su Ling'er, however, was very calm and looked very charming with her snow-white furry tail moving up and down.
As soon as the Mysterious Clan filed into the ten prepared carriages, they started towards the palace. Xu Que, Buttface, Su Ling'er, and Su Xiao Qi were all riding in the first carriage.
This was the first time that Su Xiao Qi had ever seen a city inhabited by humans. She had never been to a place with so many ancient and magnificent buildings. Astonished by the scenery, she was looking out the carriage window with the curiosity of a little child.
"What's that smell?" Buttface suddenly asked.
"What smell?" Xu Que said, turning around to look at him. "You farted, didn't you?!"
"Nonsense! I never fart! I smell men from the Sea Tribe!"
"Sea Tribe? You even know the smell of the Sea Tribe?" Xu Que asked in surprise.
He had heard about the Sea Tribe before. The Sea Tribe was a bunch of Demonic Beasts that lived out at sea, just like the Dragon Tribe did. Xu Que had always lived among the Five Nations. He had never gotten the chance to sail the seas and meet these foreign tribes.
So why have they come here, for heaven's sake!?
"I was once attacked by the Sea Tribe. That's why I came to the Five Nations. Of course I am familiar with the smell," Buttface said angrily.
"Oh right! Now I remember you telling me about you being the offspring of the Demonic Dragon and getting attacked by the Sea Tribe. Why did they attack you anyway?"
"Because they want to get my bloodline. They want to drink the dragon's blood."
Xu Que knew that Buttface was lying, so he did not respond.
"As far as I am concerned," Su Ling'er began, "there are seas in the Five Nations, but I am sure that there aren't any Sea Tribes in those seas. Are you sure you can smell this "Sea Tribe?""
"You call the water regions in the Five Nations seas? They look more like lakes to me. Of course there aren't any Sea Tribes inside the Five Nations," Buttface said arrogantly. "I think they must come from overseas. On the other side of the East Continent, there is a huge sea. That is where they come from, I think."
"Tell me where these guys are!" Xu Que said.
Buttface moved his nose and pointed afar with his claw.
"Right there!"

500 Do You Want Seafood?
Chapter 500: Do You Want Seafood?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Imperial Guards were driving the 10 carriages full of Mysterious Clan members towards the Imperial City Palace.
Among the Imperial Guards were two fair-skinned young men who were located at the front of the caravan. They were communicating by delivering messages through their horses with their Soul Strength.
"What a surprise! Who knew we would come across people of the Nine Tailed Tribe here? People of this tribe are a bit more difficult to handle than most," the first young man said.
"What are you talking about? Those Nine Tailed Demon Foxes are quite weak. Besides, this place is too remote. They couldn't possibly have any relation to the Nine Tailed Demon Foxes living in our land!" the other young man said.
"You're right! How would any member of the Nine Tailed Demon Fox Tribe located in our land come over here? Did you notice that white fox? It's the white ones that have the purest bloodlines. She must be the Holy Virgin of her tribe!"
"Hehe, I don't know whether you've noticed, but the two foxes right behind us are very beautiful!"
"Of course I have. This is a lucky break for us!"
"Even if they aren't related to the tribe in our land, at least they are authentic Nine Tailed Demon Foxes. Hehe, I never expected that I would get the chance to have an intimate relationship with a woman from the Nine Tailed Demon Fox Tribe!"
"Don't get too excited. There's a dog back there that seems oddly familiar. I think I've seen that dog before!" said the first young man.
"I noticed that dog, too. It looks like one of the Nine Dragon Drawings that have been passed down in our tribe. But it seems unlikely that this dog would actually be related to any of the pictures," said the other man.
"Right. But now that you mention it, I remember that one of the creatures depicted in one of the Nine Dragons Drawings is called a wolf, which looks a lot like a dog!"
"Who cares! That wolf in the Nine Dragons Drawing died long ago. Now, let's discuss which one of the Nine Tailed Demon Foxes we want!"
"I want the white fox!"
"Haha, that suits me just fine. The little red fox is mine!"
…
As these two young men were delivering messages to each other, anyone who was observing them closely would have noticed obscene smiles appearing on their faces from time to time. These two men were already treating Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi as their booty.
Suddenly, a shout came from inside the first carriage.
"Stop! Stop!" Buttface shouted. Exasperated, he opened the blinds of the carriage.
All of the carriages came to a stop. Everyone was confused.
Buttface jumped off the carriage defiantly and shouted at Xu Que.
"Little brat, if you are not a coward, let's make a bet. I will find them!"
"OK! Let's bet! But of course, I'm going to win because you are just a paranoid dog! You know that it's impossible for the Sea Tribe to have come here. But if you're fine with losing, then fine. What do you want to bet?"
Xu Que's taunting made Buttface angry, which made him want to win even more. This is exactly what Xu Que wanted.
Xu Que believed that Butfface was telling the truth when he said that he picked up the Sea Tribe's scent. He wondered if the Jiang Family had sent these guys overseas to pursue him. Regardless, he wanted to test how strong these guys were. Therefore, Xu Que was deliberately causing a scene so that he could lure the people of the Sea Tribe out to battle him.
Xu Que also planned to use this opportunity to stop Buttface from acting dumb and force him to display his real strength. After all, Buttface couldn't be killed in combat. Xu Que couldn't allow Buttface's talent as a meat shield to go to waste.
"I bet you 10 pots…no, 100 pots of Smelly Tofu!" Buttface shouted, counting on his paws.
"Sure, no problem. Now you go and find them," Xu Que said with a smile.
As Buttface began to walk off to search for the Sea Tribe members, Xu Que used his Soul Strength to check the surrounding area, but he couldn't sense anything unusual.
Xu Que figured that these members of the Sea Tribe might be expert cultivators who were able to block his Soul Strength. He became more cautious as he prepared himself for the possibility of these people being formidable powerhouses at the Form Synthesis Stage.
The last time he faced an opponent from overseas, he fought against an old man who was sent by the Jiang Family to kill him using Lightning Attracting Bees. However, instead of killing him, the Lightning Attracting Bees helped him grow stronger.
Xu Que hadn't asked the Water Empress about why the Jiang Family wanted him dead and the Water Empress had never brought it up. After he had survived the Heavenly Trial, she told Xu Que to go overseas. She also told him that she would meet him there later to help him on his quest. This was his chance to test how powerful people from the overseas area really were.
However, Buttface had only taken a few steps forward to investigate when two young men dressed like the Imperial Guards suddenly attacked.
Bang!
Dozens of water columns appeared, shooting through several of the Imperial Guard's bodies with majestic power. These Imperial Guards, who were in the Original Infant stage, had no time to react. Clear water gushed from their mouths, noses and ears. The water columns then knocked them to the ground, killing them on the spot.
There were so many water columns that almost the entire street was blocked off by the attack. Cultivators and common folk nearby were also caught up in the attack and were killed by the penetration of the water columns before they could even attempt to escape.
The attack was launched so abruptly that it was over before Xu Que could even blink.
After a short silence, the area burst into chaos. Passers-by who had witnessed the attack began to run for their lives.
The two young men landed on the ground elegantly and stood in front of the carriages with cold smiles.
"Look, little brat, it's them! Now bring me 1,000 pots of Smelly Tofu!" Buttface shouted excitedly, hoping that Xu Que wouldn't notice how much he raised the quantity of tofu.
Xu Que just ignored Buttface. He stared at the two young men with furrowed eyebrows.
"Be careful! Their magic arts are quite strange!" Su Ling'er said solemnly.
Xue Que gave a slight nod. The water columns that the two men created were normal enough. What was strange was the fact that these columns could instantly kill people. Looking at the dead bodies, he noticed that the bodies were now completely dry. It was almost as if the water columns had pumped out all of the water inside their bodies.
"Hey, monkey, get out of our way and surrender the two foxes. If you cooperate, we'll consider sparing your life and making you our servant," one of the young men said, smiling coldly.
Xu Que was quite confused.
Haven't these people…come for me? When did Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi offend the Sea Tribe? How did they become these guy's targets?
"I don't know these guys!" Su Ling'er said, looking at Xu Que with furrowed eyebrows and shaking her head. She was also confused about why people of the Sea Tribe wanted to capture them.
"It's OK. I'll handle them!" Xu Que said, consoling Su Ling'er with a faint smile.
These two people ought to be killed, no matter who their target was. Xu Que stepped forward, preparing to attack them alongside Buttface.
"Buttface," Xu Que said. "You have a score to settle with the Sea Tribe, right? How about… what? Where's Buttface?"
Hardly had he begun speaking when he found that Buttface had disappeared!
"He has already escaped!" Su Xiao Qi said, pointing at a place far away.
D*mn! What a coward dog!
Xu Que's mouth twitched and his eyebrows were raised in embarrassment.
"Hey, monkey, can't you understand our words? Even the dog has gotten out of our way. Why are you still here?" a young man of the Sea Tribe scolded impatiently.
Xu Que smiled and looked at Su Ling'er.
"Ling'er, are you allergic to the seafood? How about eating seafood tonight?"

501 Too Big to Fit In a Po
Chapter 501: Too Big to Fit In a Pot
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Eating seafood?"
Su Ling'er was a bit confused until she realized that Xu Que was referring to defeating the two men from the Sea Tribe.
"Great! We shall eat seafood for dinner," she said, smiling.
"Shall we stir-fry it or simply put it into a pot of boiling water? It's too hard for me to decide," Xu Que said. He was acting as if he were merely examining seafood sold in a market.
As Xu Que examined them, he realized that the two men were both in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage, just like he was. They had also mastered many powerful magic arts.
On the one hand, Xu Que needed to protect Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi. On the other hand, he was fighting against two powerful men. For the first time in his life, he felt like he might need a bit help.
"How dare you!"
The two men were furious. They knew that it was common for demonic beasts to devour other creatures, but this was the first time that they had ever been treated simply as food!
"You ignorant idiot! How dare you insult the holy Sea Tribe in this way?! We shall teach you a good lesson!"
The two men then began to shout together and wave their hands.
Bang!
The sky was suddenly covered with rain clouds. A strong wind began to blow and countless raindrops began to fall from the sky. The raindrops were as sharp as swords as they pierced through the air. The raindrops were descending fast...
"Your trick is too weak. It's like you're just putting on a show," Xu Que sneered.
Both he and his Thunder Illusion Body summoned their Dark Heavy Buster Swords and jumped up. Together, they performed Six Corporeal Forms.
All of a sudden, the shadows of the Dark Heavy Buster Swords smothered the sky. The rain had been blocked!
The two men were surprised by Xu Que's Six Corporeal Forms.
"What is that magic spell?" said one of the young men.
"I never thought there would be someone who could perform that incantation in this desolated and poor land of the Five Nations!"
The Six Corporeal Forms spell was a very powerful art indeed. Xu Que had instilled the energy of both his body and his True Core Energy into the magic incantation.
"Come into my bowl, you two!" Xu Que sneered as he floated in the air.
Xu Que put his Dark Heavy Buster Sword back into his System Parcel and summoned an eight-star sharp sword.
Xu Que had wanted to kill these two men before they could perform other more powerful magic incantations. He was not afraid of the two men hurting him. He was, however, worried that Su Ling'er and the rest of the Mysterious Clan might suffer if he did not defeat these two men quickly.
Xu Que and his Thunder Illusion Body each unsheathed their eight-star sharp swords, creating a piercing sound that echoed through the air. The swords moved so quickly that the air around the swords became distorted.
Everyone watching was shocked.
"My God! This is the Killer God's Single Stroke that once belonged to the Killer God of Tian Sha!" a cultivator screamed.
"How is Hero Li Bai able to use it? I was told that only Xu Que could use it."
"I knew it! Hero Li Bai is actually Xu Que!"
"No way. Can't you see that that monkey is also able to use it? I think Xu Que must have taught everyone in his Faction how to use it."
"F*ck! This is quite something!"
The Killer God's Single Stroke was very difficult to master. The old Killer God had tried to find someone to inherit the skill, but he had failed to do so. They never thought that everyone in the Exploding Heavens Faction would be able to use it.
"Retreat!" one of the young men yelled.
But before either of them could move, the air behind them began to ripple and the image of a sharp sword appeared behind them.
"Be careful! Brace yourself!" the other young man yelled.
The two men began to chant. Soon, both of their backs were covered with a bright layer of light.
Bang!
The two men were hit by the sword…
Sparkles of light flew everywhere as the two men fell to the ground as a result of the energy wave. When the sparkles dissipated, everyone found that the two men from the Sea Tribe were still intact.
Xu Que was stunned.
They survived the Killer God's Single Stroke?!
No one had ever managed to survive the Killer God's Single Stroke except for Xu Que himself. He once managed to dodge it twice, but this was because he was just plain lucky. These two, on the other hand, endured it easily.
"I see! That layer of light must be their shield!" a bystander shouted.
The two men began to spit out blood. Their shining bodies seemed to be going through some sort of transformation. The two men's bodies were growing larger and larger.
I see, Xu Que thought. When I attacked them, they were beginning to change back into their true forms. These guys must have extremely hard shells, which is why they managed to endure my attack. What sort of demonic beasts are they? I never thought a demonic beast with such a hard shell could even exist!
"Could it be that they are descendants of the Ancient Turtle at the bottom of the sea?" another bystander said.
Xu Que frowned. He knew now that the Killer God's Single Stroke wouldn't be enough to kill the two Sea Tribe members. So, he began to perform Buddha's Fiery Lotus. He also began to create a ball of lightning.
"How dare you hurt us?!"
"We belong to the Scorpion of Water Dragon Clan. You will be sorry for what you have done to us!"
The two men were emitting enormous amounts of energy as they continued to transform. Their energy was so powerful that it could be felt from miles away. Soon, they had transformed completely.
The giant creatures towered over everyone. Their protective shells seemed impenetrable. Their bodies resembled that of a dragon, long and covered with shining scales that provided them with dense armor. Sharp, spiky horns protruded from either side of their heads.
Everyone watching was astonished.
"Are these scorpions of the water dragons?!"
"My goodness! How can a scorpion be as big as a dragon?"
"So these are the creatures of the Sea Tribe?! How scary!"
Everyone watching the scene was native to Five Elements Mountain and had never gotten the opportunity to see any foreign creatures. Although they had read about creatures of the Sea Tribe in ancient books, it was still a shock to see a creature of this sort in real life.
Xu Que was also surprised.
"F*ck! Pipi Shrimp!" Xu Que exclaimed.
"I'm not here! Nope! I'm already gone!" Buttface shouted, thinking that Xu Que was addressing him.
Xu Que rolled his eyes. Ignoring his dumb dog, he frowned as he stared at the two huge, floating Pipi Shrimps.
Where can I find a pot that is big enough to put them in?
Seeing Xu Que's facial expression, the two men from the Sea Tribe sneered.
"It's too late! Your fear is useless!"
"You hurt us, and you will be sorry!"
"Sun Wu Kong, let me help you!" Su Ling'er said, jumping up.
"Dead monkey, can you manage? If not, you can leave. We can manage ourselves!" Su Xiao Qi said.
"No, stay back! Just find me a huge pot," Xu Que said, waving his hands.
"What?!" Su Ling'er exclaimed in surprise.
A huge pot can kill them?
"I have an idea! We will steam one shrimp and grill the other."

502 Li Bai is Dead!
Chapter 502: Li Bai is Dead!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"What?"
Everyone was dumbfounded at Xu Que's idea to cook the two Sea Tribe members.
What the h*ll?
Shouldn't you be thinking about how to kill the enemy instead of how to eat them?
Sh*t! We didn't expect you to be thinking about cooking them when you were frowning like that.
You plan to steam one in clear soup and grill the other with charcoal? …How about braising the other in soy sauce instead?
Everyone shook their heads. This monkey was so unreliable, just like Xu Que was.
The two members of the Sea Tribe were stunned. When they got a hold of themselves, they were completely annoyed.
In their eyes, all cultivators of the Five Nations were weaklings. They even looked down upon powerhouses at level six or seven of the Infant Transformation Stage.
The Spiritual Qi in this area was very deficient compared to where they were from. The magic arts that the cultivators in this area were capable of weren't very impressive either. Therefore, they figured that even the powerhouses here whose cultivation level was higher than them wouldn't stand a chance against them in real combat.
So, to them, Xu Que was just like an ant under their fingers. They could kill him with as much effort as it would take to blow away a speck of dust. However, they didn't expect Xu Que to belittle them by treating them as if they were just food to be cooked.
"You naive little twit! I will skin you alive and eat your monkey brain!"
They started to twist their bodies and ascend into the sky. They then summoned a dark cloud that was saturated with majestic icy rain. The crystal raindrops shot at Xu Que like tens of thousands of sharp arrows.
These icy raindrops were more powerful than the raindrops that they had summoned before. Runes were even flowing through each icy raindrop, making the raindrops a powerful Taoist Connotation.
Xu Que was walking in the sky with Walk of Yu. His Thunder Illusion Body started to prepare Buddha's Fiery Lotus while his real body performed Six Corporeal Forms to resist the falling icy raindrops.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Numerous icy raindrops hit the Dark Heavy Buster Sword and created many thunderous bangs.
"Do you want to eat my monkey brain? Come and get it! Otherwise, you are just mangy dogs!" Xu Que taunted. However, he was also shocked at their power.
Since Xu Que was a powerhouse with an extremely strong physique, he had been able to block all the icy raindrops. However, his hands were slightly numb afterward.
No more delay, I need to kill them now!
These two people were extremely powerful. If they were to receive reinforcements of another three or four guys like them, there was a good chance that he wouldn't be able to protect Su Ling'er and her people from them.
Xu Que divided his Soul Strength in two. A three-colored fiery lotus appeared in the hand of his Thunder Illusion Body. The Thunder Illusion Body, which could fight autonomously, waved its hand and threw out the three-colored fiery lotus.
Boom!
The three-colored fiery lotus penetrated through the sky, the petals scorching the air. The display was extremely pretty and coquettish! The three-colored fiery lotus was now directly in front of the two mantis shrimps.
Meanwhile, Xu Que extracted a ball lightning. The ball of lightning was rotating in his hand rapidly, creating sharp, piercing sound. He then threw the ball of lightning toward the two mantis shrimps.
Seeing two attacks coming towards them composed of fire and lightning respectively, the two mantis shrimps were totally shocked.
"How…could this be possible? How is someone who is native to this area able to use such formidable magic arts?"
"This is… No, retreat!"
The two members of the Sea Tribe twisted their bodies and tried to get away from the attacks. However, the three-colored fiery lotus was not something they could evade.
Rumble!
A deafening explosion occurred. Towering three-colored Mystical Fire covered the two mantis shrimps. Their bodies were being scorched by the flames. Thick white smoke was shooting skyward.
The whole area was filled with the delicious aroma of cooked meat!
"My gosh! What is this smell?"
"Is it the smell of roasted seafood?"
"Lord Li Bai is really extraordinary!"
Excited by the aroma of meat, Buttface jumped out of the crowd.
"Awesome!" Buttface said.
However, the mantis shrimps were not dead yet.
Argh!
They roared in pain, for they were seriously injured. Every inch of them was covered in blood, but they were still capable of combat.
"You are seeking death!" the two mantis shrimps growled.
The whole area was filled with their homicidal intent. They were about to perform some horrible magic arts, but just then, Xu Que's ball of lightning reached them. The violet and golden lightning bolts, which were as powerful as the Mystical Fire, had the Taoist Connotation of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Rumble!
The ball of lightning exploded and turned into an entire pool of lightning bolts.
"Ah!"
The two mantis shrimps were completely engulfed in the lightning attack. Countless ferocious lightning bolts crackled and slashed at their bodies. The two mantis shrimps screamed hysterically, flailing their bodies as if they were drowning.
Ssssss!
Plumes of white smoke rose from the two mantis shrimps. The aroma of roasted seafood became more and more dense.
"My God! It looks like they are about to be well-done!"
"After several rounds of battling, these formidable Sea Tribe powerhouses have finally been defeated!"
"The sovereigns of the Exploding Heavens Faction are really powerful. Lord Li Bai is amazing, but the strength of that monkey is also quite formidable!"
"That's why they are members of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"Little brat, stop your attack!" Buttface shouted. "They are ready to be served. If you continue your attack, they will be burnt!"
Grrrr!
Hardly had Buttface finished his words when the two mantis shrimps roared in anger. The area was permeated with their formidable pressures again.
"Holy sh*t! They are still not cooked properly! Roast them a little longer!" Buttface said.
However, Buttface was frightened and didn't stick around. He ran away to a safe distance.
Xu Que frowned. He didn't expect these two mantis shrimps to still be alive after being attacked by both his three-colored lotus and his ball of lightning.
It was a shame that he didn't have the People Killing Sword and the People Killing Book of All Layers with him. If he had been able to attack with 30 times his original power and use the People Killing Book, these two mantis shrimps would have been incinerated during his first attack!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, one mantis shrimp managed to dash out of the thunder pool. However, half of his body had been cut off by the lightning bolts. The miserable thing was not bleeding anymore, for its flesh had already been cauterized by the lightning.
"I will die together with you!" the maimed mantis shrimp growled ferociously. He knew that his death was inevitable.
What is this mantis shrimp talking about?
How can he pose threats in such a miserable condition?
Despite other people's confusion, Buttface's expression changed to one of pure terror.
"Run! He is going to explode!"
"Self-explosion?" Xu Que said, surprised.
Xu Que landed and stood in front of Su Ling'er and her people. He then performed Six Corporeal Forms with the Dark Heavy Buster Sword to defend the Mysterious Clan with countless sword shadows.
Whoosh!
The Thunder Illusion Body jumped into the sky. With a Dark Heavy Buster Sword in hand, the Thunder Illusion Body also performed Six Corporeal Forms to cover the maimed mantis shrimp with numerous sword shadows.
Rumble!
The mantis shrimp exploded. The thunderous explosion shook the entire Imperial City. It was as if everything was falling apart. The formidable power of the explosion spread in all directions like an atomic bomb.
After blocking most of the explosion's power, the sword shadows that the Thunder Illusion Body had created vanished instantly. Even the Thunder Illusion Body itself disappeared in the sky after being impacted by the explosion.
The whole area fell silent. This was the first time that anyone had witnessed the magic art of self-explosion. People couldn't believe what they had just seen. They could do nothing but watch as Li Bai was shattered as a result of his physique colliding with the immense power of the explosion.
Is Lord Li Bai… dead?
Suddenly, a miserable cry came from a distant street.
"No!"
Xu Que turned around. He was stunned.
Madam Ya was here! And she had just witnessed the death of "Li Bai!" She was devastated!

503 I, Li Bai, Am Back Again!
Chapter 503: I, Li Bai, Am Back Again!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
People just couldn't believe that Hero Li Bai sacrificed himself to save them…
They were humbled by the terrible situation he prevented. If Hero Li Bai had not blocked the explosion wave, most of the city would have been destroyed and the people watching the battle would have died.
The power of the self-explosion of a man at the Infant Transformation Stage was truly terrifying.
Madam Ya had been missing Hero Li Bai every day and night since he had left. She was filled with happiness and excitement at the prospect of seeing Hero Li Bai. She had been waiting outside the entrance of the palace to meet him. However, no one was coming. When she heard the sound of fighting, she immediately left the palace to see what was going on.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Hero Li Bai being vaporized by the explosion…
Her sadness was so intense that it was as if someone had stabbed her in the heart.
The whole world seemed to be swirling around her. Her mind went blank. She felt like she was about to faint.
This was the man who used to stay with me during the nights that were full of moonlight and the fragrance of flowers was in the air and he would write poems: Abed, I see a silver light, I wonder if it's frost around. The man who used to live in my house and win many hearts with his poems is now dead!
"No! No! No! Hero Li Bai! You can't leave me!" Madam Ya yelled as she collapsed to the ground, crying like a child.
Xu Que was a bit surprised. He knew that human affection meant a great deal to Madam Ya, but he never thought she could be this emotional.
It wasn't just Madam Ya who thought that Hero Li Bai was dead. Everyone, including Su Ling'er, had no idea that Hero Li Bai was just Xu Que's Thunder Illusion Body and could be summoned again and again as long as Xu Que was still alive.
They thought Hero Li Bai was a real person, an additional member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, a man who sacrificed his life to protect them.
The members of the Mysterious Clan were buried in deep sorrow when they saw Hero Li Bai die.
Su Ling'er gently touched Xu Que's cheek.
"I am terribly sorry," she said.
Xu Que nodded and looked to the sky.
The other member of the Sea Tribe was still trapped by the sea of lightning. He was laughing like mad.
"See?! This is what happens to anyone who offends us! Now, no one can save you! Your luck has run out!"
As he laughed, the people stared at him with anger in their eyes.
"Shut up!" Xu Que yelled in fury. He spoke as if he had just lost someone that was truly beloved to him.
"Sh*t!" Buttface said. He was surprised by Xu Que's tone of voice.
Buttface was the only one that knew that Hero Li Bai was just Xu Que's Thunder Illusion Body. Buttface knew what was coming next. He had seen this look in Xu Que's eyes before. He was going to act tough again.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Xu Que began. "Did you see what just happened?! Our Hero Li Bai sacrificed himself to save our lives. He is indeed a selfless and great man! Let us close our eyes for three minutes and gave our condolences to him, shall we?"
Hearing this, everyone closed their teary eyes.
No one had ever thought that there could be someone like Hero Li Bai who would sacrifice his own life to save others, especially since this Cultivation World was so full of indifferent and cold individuals.
If Hero Li Bai were still alive, with his talent and power and his membership within the Exploding Heavens Faction, his future would be a very promising one. But now, to save us, he has died. He is a real Hero!
"He was always a man who was knowledgeable and honest!"
"He used to say, a responsible man should always be determined, since responsibility weighs heavily on a shoulder and the weight must be borne for an entire lifetime. What a benevolent man, upholding his doctrines until the end of his life."
Responsibility weighs heavily on a shoulder and the weight must be borne for an entire lifetime...
My God! I never thought Hero Li Bai could be such a decent man and care about the world so much.
"He also said he was not afraid of the death. He wanted to save the world. He wanted to do his part to make this world a better place!"
A crying old man raised up his head and looked at the sky.
"God! Why do you take him away from us! He is such a good man!" said the old man.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The System rang, notifying Xu Que that, once again, he had managed to act tough.
"Sh*t! Sh*t!" Buttface was completely stunned by Xu Que's words.
How shameless he is! He is too shameless for words!
Madam Ya suddenly raised her head and stared at the trapped Sea Tribe member, seething with anger.
"You b*stard!" She yelled. "Wait for me! Hero Li Bai, I shall kill myself and meet you in the underworld as soon as I kill this b*stard!"
She jumped high up into the sky and was about to kill the remaining mantis shrimp.
"Wait!" Xu Que shouted. "I am not finished. Hero Li Bai left a message before he died."
"What?!" Madam Ya said, stopping her attack. "What did he say?"
Madam Ya looked at Xu Que. So did everyone else.
"When Hero Li Bai was still alive," Xu Que began, "he would always look up at the sky and sigh. He would always complain to the open air, asking why he was so powerful and immortal. He would ask why he was the only one in the world that was this extraordinary."
"What?!"
Everyone became silent. People were stunned. What did this mean?
Hero Li Bai said that? Really?! That doesn't sound like something he would say. In fact, it sounds more like something Xu Que would say!
"What are you saying? Please, stop this nonsense! Remember, Hero Li Bai just died."
"I don't think the great Hero Li Bai would say things like that!"
"How dare you tarnish his reputation like this!" Madam Ya yelled. "Hero Li Bai is a decent and kind man! I won't allow you to speak of him like this!"
"I am just telling the truth!" Xu Que said.
"Truth?"
People were surprised.
He must be kidding! This is impossible! If everything he said is true, then Hero Li Bai is immortal. But, he died! So the monkey must be lying!
Suddenly, a huge amount of lightning appeared in the sky. The lightning bolts became intertwined and began to form a shining human figure.
In a flash, Hero Li Bai walked out from the light, dressed all in white. He gently waved his feather fan. His clothes were blowing in the wind. He looked extremely gentle and handsome.
"Thousands of tribulations and centuries of hardship all end in the blink of an eye; as someone with an immortal body and soul, I outweigh everyone in this world. I, Li Bai, am back again."

504 Great Seafood Feas
Chapter 504: Great Seafood Feast
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The streets of the Imperial City were silent. Everyone was stunned. Their eyes were wide with disbelief. They had just witnessed the resurrection of Li Bai with their own eyes. He didn't have a scratch on him.
Thousands of tribulations and centuries of hardship…
An immortal body and soul… He outweighs everyone in this world...
"It's…it's true!"
"He is really immortal and has eternal life!"
"My God! Then who could ever stop him?"
"Exactly, he is invincible!"
Xu Que had said that Li Bai would often ask why he had been granted with invincibility and immortality. When Xu Que said this, people thought that he was lying to them.
Now, whether people believed Xu Que's words or not, the miracle was right in front of their eyes. Li Bai was really revived. His white robe, white folding fan, and long hair flowing in the wind were quite impressive.
"Impossible!" said the Sea Tribe member in the thunder pool. "How could this…be possible? How could such a magic art exist in this world?"
Immortality… This should be the skill of the Heavens alone!
This Sea Tribe member came here from the overseas area, a place which boasted about its vast territory and abundant resources. However, he had never heard of anyone becoming immortal. Achieving eternal life was impossible, even for celestials.
Xu Que's Thunder Illusion Body shook his head calmly.
"It's just immortality!" Li Bai said. "Every member of the Exploding Heavens Faction is immortal! Haven't you heard? You are so ignorant, a regular frog in a well."
"You…" the Sea Tribe man was speechless.
Previously, he had described the people of the Five Nations as ignorant frogs in a well. Li Bai's perfect retort made him speechless.
The Thunder Illusion Body's calm retort shocked everyone else as well.
He is immortal!
How could he be so calm?
Did he say every member of the Exploding Heavens Faction is immortal?
My Gosh!
How is the Exploding Heavens Faction so awesome?
In a way, Xu Que's Thunder Illusion Body was actually right! While Xu Que's actual body wasn't immortal, his illusionary bodies were! If any of his illusionary bodies were destroyed, Xu Que could summon them again, giving them a certain type of eternal life.
"Lord Li!" Madam Ya shouted.
She was so pleasantly happy and surprised at Li Bai's miraculous reappearance. Standing high in the sky, the Thunder Illusion Body looked at Madam Ya and smiled slightly.
"Please wait for a moment. I will invite you to eat seafood with me tonight!"
"OK!" Madame Ya said, nodding in delight. She was so happy now!
The Thunder Illusion Body produced a sharp and shiny sword.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Li Bai disappeared then reappeared on the mantis shrimp's body. He was now inside the pool of lightning! Bolts of lightning were rolling around them. However, Li Bai was not injured. He did not seem to be affected by the pool of lightning at all.
This was because the Thunder Illusion Body was an illusionary body made up of thunder and lightning. How could it be harmed by electricity?
The people watching were shocked and speechless.
The thunder and lightning which put the two Sea Tribe members through living h*ll aren't hurting Li Bai at all! How powerful is he!?
"What are you going to do to me?!" the Sea Tribe member asked in anger and desperation.
"Nothing, just check whether your meat is well-cooked!" the Thunder Illusion Body said with a slight smile.
Li Bai stabbed his sword into the mantis shrimp's charred shell. As expected, after being scorched by the Mystical Fire and the golden lighting, the shell of was not as strong as it used to be. Thus, the sword easily penetrated it.
Crack!
The Thunder Illusion Body turned his sword and pried up a large piece of the shell. Lightning bolts flocked in through the opening.
"Ah!" The mantis shrimp let out a miserable scream.
He wanted to explode himself to die together with his opponent; however, knowing his opponent was immortal, he had lost the courage to do so.
The Thunder Illusion Body continued to pry off the shrimp shell. Finally, the Sea Tribe member was killed by the lightning. All of his flesh was burnt and gave off a dense aroma of meat. Thunder Illusion Body then tossed the charred body down from the sky. The body smashed down and cracked the ground.
"It's my turn to attack!" Buttface yelled.
Buttface dashed forward and started to bite the dead, well-cooked mantis shrimp to demonstrate his ferocious nature as a wolf. Everyone looked at him disdainfully.
Xu Que just ignored Buttface. How could someone find this burnt seafood delicious? Only a lazy dog like Buttface would want to eat it.
Xu Que then waved his hand, causing the pool of lightning to dissipate. As the pool of lightning disappeared, the lower body of the other Sea Tribe Member dropped from the sky. After all, when the first mantis shrimp exploded, he had only exploded his upper body.
Xu Que lifted up one of the shrimp shells with his sword and found that the meat inside was not burnt and was still very fresh. These shrimp shells provided powerful defense, seeing as this meat was preserved despite being attacked by extreme fire and electric attacks.
"Bring the fresh shrimp meat back to the Imperial Palace and freeze it with ice," Xu Que shouted. "Tonight we will have a seafood feast. Sushi and sashimi. Steamed shrimp and sizzling shrimp. All types of shrimp meat will be served!"
"Yes, sir!" said some Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards who had escorted Madam Ya to the area proceeded to obey the monkey's order. The relationship between Madam Ya and Lord Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction was well-known amongst the people of the Imperial City, though no one ever spoke about it.
By the same logic, everyone knew that any order given by a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction was equivalent to receiving an order from Madam Ya. Thus, no one dared disobey the orders of this monkey.
Now that the fight was over, the Thunder Illusion Body and Madam Ya got on a carriage and returned to the Imperial Palace.
As the carriage began to leave, Xu Que became deep in thought. Su Ling'er noticed Xu Que's expression and walked over to him.
"Don't worry, Sun Wu Kong," she said softly. "The Sea Tribe is very powerful. However, I know that the Five Nations will be protected as long as you and the rest of the Exploding Heavens Faction can fight against them."
"I am not worrying about the Sea Tribe," Xu Que said, shaking his head. "I am thinking about what else I can cook with the meat of the mantis shrimp!"
"Ah?" Su Ling'er was stunned. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Why does this guy always think about food?
"Oh, I got it!" Xu Que said, his eyes brightening. "No wonder I felt that something was missing."
He looked around and saw a meat shop which had been temporarily closed because of the combat. He ran over and knocked at the door.
"Open the door, please! We promise not to steal anything… I want to buy some beef and pork!"
Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi walked over to Xu Que with puzzled expressions.
"Why do you want to buy beef and pork?"
Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth in a smile.
"Have you heard of the Juicy Beef Ball or the Barbequed Pork Rice With Deep Sorrow cooked by Stephen Chow of the Exploding Heavens Faction?

505 Juicy Beef Balls
Chapter 505: Juicy Beef Balls
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Now that the battle was over, Xu Que and the Mysterious Clan went to the palace to relax.
Hero Li Bai and Madam Ya were sitting in a carriage, chatting. From their conversation, Xu Que had learned that there were five men from the Sea Tribe who had come to the Imperial City, including the two men that he had just killed. One of these men always wore red and seemed to be the leader of the group.
Madam Ya explained that a few days ago these men came to the Imperial City and threatened the guards by flaunting their cultivation levels--they were all at the Infant Transformation Stage. They were demanding to see the head of the city.
When Madam Ya got wind of this, she was shocked. Before she went out to meet them, she sent some guards who were in the Infant Transformation Stage to the Duke's home near the entrance of the city. That way, she would have someone to protect her if these young men tried to hurt her.
With her emergency measures in place, she hurried to the entrance of the city to meet with them. When she saw the five young men, they looked very gentleman-like. However, they were extremely arrogant, especially the man in red. He had told Madam ya to have a one night stand with each of them.
This made her furious. She immediately asked them to leave. She was afraid they would protest, but to her surprise, the men just smiled and left. However, they continued to stay in the Imperial City.
This morning, they sent a maid to tell Madam Ya that they were giving her one last chance to agree to sleep with them. Right after the maid delivered this message, another servant informed her that Hero Li Bai had returned. Shortly after hearing this message, she went out to meet Li Bai.
"I thought those young men were just some rich kids who had famous families. I never thought they could have belonged to the Sea Tribe," Madam Ya said gently. She happily leaned on Hero Li Bai's shoulder as she spoke.
"Don't worry," the Thunder Illusion Body said, smiling gently. "They are indeed powerful, but they are also perfect raw material for seafood cuisine!"
"As long as you are with me, I will not be afraid," Madam Ya said, hugging him tightly.
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que was resting on a bed in one of the many bedrooms of the palace. While his Thunder Illusion Body was happily chatting with Madam Ya, Xu Que was rather worried.
After today's battle, Xu Que came to an understanding about these members of the Sea Tribe.
All of these members of the Sea Tribe were in the Infant Transformation stage. However, these cultivators from overseas were much more powerful than cultivators in the Five Nations who were at the same stage. These members of the Sea Tribe were especially powerful in regards to their bodies. Despite their incredible power, he could still defeat them. But could anyone else in the Five Nations defeat them?
If I leave here and head overseas, what if the Sea Tribe comes to the Five Nations again? I can't possibly leave them alone.
"Fine! I shall kill the rest of the Sea Tribe members here before I leave!"
Although he felt like he could have used some help when he was fighting against the Pipi Shrimp earlier today, he would be able to kill the entire Sea Tribe in just one strike by using the Killer Sword or the Killer Book. He would even be able to kill someone in the Form Synthesis Stage with this strategy.
"Great! I shall search for the three men of the Sea Tribe tomorrow!"
Once I know where is their hometown is, I shall loot their house!
With this decision made, he got out of bed, bought a new human-skin mask from the System Store, and put it on. He then walked into palace kitchen, grabbed some beef and pork, picked up the portable stove, and carried it to the huge, square-shaped area outside of Madam Ya's throne room.
Xu Que ordered the Guards to set up a dozen tables. It seemed that he wanted to hold a banquet to feed more than a hundred people.
The members of the Mysterious Clan were told that Xu Que had invited the God of Cookery to cook seafood cuisine for them. Many people came to the banquet. Madam Ya came, of course, and was accompanied by Hero Li Bai. Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi also came. However, before they sat down, they looked everywhere for Xu Que, but they couldn't find him.
As people sat down, they were surprised when they saw nothing on the tables. They were also wondering why the stove was set up in front of them.
What is the God of Cookery planning?
"Is the God of Cookery going to cook the food right in front of us instead of in the kitchen?" Madam Ya asked Hero Li Bai.
"Yes! Watching the God of Cookery at work is like watching an artist paint! It is a wonderful experience," Hero Li Bai smiled.
All of a sudden, a ray of light appeared over the stove. Then, a man with gray hair walked out and stood next to the stove. His eyes were full of melancholy and stories. If there had been another man from Earth here, he would have screamed, saying "Holy Sh*t! It's Stephen Chow Sing Chi!"
Xu Que always liked to put on a good show. This time, he wore a mask that resembled Stephen Chow Sing Chi and a wig of gray hair. He also behaved exactly like Stephen Chow Sing Chi. It was as if he had always been a professional actor.
"Good evening, everyone! I am an actor...no. I am the God of Cookery from the Exploding Heavens Faction. You call me Stephen Chow or just Master Star!"
The people gave him a warm welcome.
"Good evening! Master Star!"
"Good evening! Master Star!"
"I have been hearing about you all my life. It is really an honor for me to meet you in person today!"
Without a word, Xu Que nodded emotionlessly and took out the fresh Pipi Shrimp.
In one of Master Star's movies, had made a dish called "Juicy Beef Balls," which was made using shrimp and beef.
Seeing the Pipi Shrimp, everyone could not wait to taste it.
Are we really gonna to eat seafood tonight? This is wonderful!
Xu Que took out two pairs of Chinese cleavers and began to chop the shrimp meat.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
What is he doing? Do we really have to cut it to pieces?
Soon, he had turned the piece of shrimp meat into a paste. He stirred the paste then put it into a rectangular iron box. Then, he put the box into a pot to steam. He then took out a big piece of beef and began punching it.
"Holy Jesus! Is he mad? Why is he punching it so harshly?" Buttface shouted.
Everyone else was a bit confused as well.
He turned the shrimp into shrimp paste, and now he is punching the beef into pieces. Does he think we are too old to chew properly?
"I find this a bit funny!" someone said, forcing out a smile.
"Is he really the God of Cookery?"
"Look! The shrimp paste has gathered into one piece again!"
"He is shaping the beef into small meatballs!"
"Well, since he is the cook invited by our Shaman Demon King, we shall treat him nicely with all the respect we can muster."
"You are right! Even if his food tastes like sh*t, we shall eat it all."
"The dead monkey has vanished again," Su Xiao Qi frowned. "He invites a God of Cookery and then isn't here to watch? I don't believe it!"
"Stop talking nonsense," Su Ling'er said, carefully examining the cook.
"Sister, don't you think this might be another prank? He probably invited this so-called God of Cookery to cook some bad food for us so that he could enjoy some really delicious food somewhere else."
Xu Que took out a big pot, put it on the stove, and filled it with water. As time went by, the water finally came to a boil. He put the beef balls into the pot one by one and covered the pot with a lid.
No one made any sound. Everyone was focused on the pot.
After a while, the beef balls were all cooked. Xu Que took away the lid and scooped out the beef balls.
The people sniffed the air and became relieved.
"It seems very nice actually!"
"Yes! It smells very good. It's very appetizing!"
"It seems that he is the real God of Cookery!"
Xu Que picked up a beef ball. He examined it carefully and threw it to the ground. The beef ball bounced back up into his hand. Xu Que threw the ball like this multiple times. It was as if he'd made a toy instead of food.
Everyone was shocked.
What on earth is he doing?
We have waited for this meal for so long! Are we going to have our meal or not?!
"Everyone, why don't we cancel the banquet tonight and hold a ping-pong game instead?"

506 We Are the Wives of the Faction Leader!
Chapter 506: We Are the Wives of the Faction Leader!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bleck!
Hearing Xu Que's suggestion, everyone almost spat blood!
D*mn! What do you mean?
We have been waiting for such a long time. Finally, your first dish is ready. How could you say that the feast is canceled and change it into a f*cking table tennis match?
This God of Cookery is really unreliable!
"Growl! Don't cross the line!" Buttface shouted frantically. "Drop that thing and serve the dish now! I'm ravenous!"
"Snicker! Lord Li, is every member of the Exploding Heavens Faction so interesting?" asked Madam Ya with a smile. She was leaning on the Thunder Illusion Body.
"You give us too much credit. I will say that despite the ugly appearance, those beef balls are very delicious!" the Li Bai replied with a smile.
"Delicious? Really?" Madam Ya asked, stunned.
Hearing the words of the Thunder Illusion Body, the rest people couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths.
Are you kidding?
How could such a thing be delicious?
Alas, it seems the food for members of the Exploding Heavens Faction is just so-so!
"Well," Xu Que began, "since none of you are interested in a table tennis match, then let's eat. Now, distribute the beef balls. Remember, one can only have two beef balls at most!"
Everyone was stunned.
Each person can have only two beef balls?
You are kidding us, right?
Heck, one is surely not enough for us! We are only allowed to have two?
To show respect to Sun Wu Kong, many people of the Mysterious Clan didn't say anything. However, they couldn't help showing dislike in their faces.
"One person only gets two beef balls? Who wants them? I will not eat them!" Su Xiao Qi said disdainfully, sticking out her tongue.
"Xiao Qi, stop acting mischievously," Su Ling'er said, patting her sister's head.
The maidservants began to distribute the food. Soon, everyone received two beef balls. Everyone stared at the two ugly beef balls in their hot soup. No one wanted to eat first.
However, Buttface couldn't resist the temptation. He threw one beef ball directly into his mouth. He was shocked.
Growl…
Buttface's growling resounded in all directions. Everyone turned to look at him in surprise.
What's going on?
Why is he screaming?
Could it be that he was poisoned by the food?
"Holy sh*t! This is too delicious! D*mn! It…it is marvelous! I feel like I am becoming a celestial!" Buttface said in amazement.
He immediately threw the second beef ball into his mouth. Then he closed his eyes, savoring the taste.
Everyone was stunned.
What? Is it really that delicious?
Curious, everyone else picked up a beef ball with their wooden chopsticks and put it into their mouths, biting down on the beef ball slowly.
Snap!
The hot flecks of meat were bursting with flavor. Their mouths—no; their whole bodies were filled with the delicious taste. Everyone was trembling slightly. It was as if they were all enjoying a full body massage!
"My God!"
"This is way too delicious!"
"I can't believe such a delicious food could even exist in this world!"
"Wow! It felt like I was a newborn being hugged by my parents for the first time!"
"Really? For me, it felt like when I was in love with my wife! Those were some good years..."
"It's strange. As I ate it, I felt the same way I did on my wedding night… No, wait... That came out wrong!"
When Madam Ya ate her first beef ball, she trembled and collapsed into the arms of the Thunder Illusion Body. Her face was flushed. Her gaze was full of desire. Was Madam Ya horny?
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" the Thunder Illusion Body asked hurriedly.
Madam Ya sat up and shook her head. She was flushed with shame and closed her legs tightly.
"No…nothing! The beef ball is very delicious!"
"It is more than delicious! It even strengthens your Soul Strength! If you check your Soul Strength, you will find that it has been increased remarkably!" the Thunder Illusion Body said.
People started to check their Soul Strength. They were totally shocked.
"It's for real!"
"My Soul Strength has been remarkably strengthened!"
"My gosh! How could such a marvelous thing exist in this world?"
"Sh*t! I have eaten up the two beef balls, but they are far from enough! I'm addicted!"
"God of Cookery, could I have more?"
"Yeah, just give me several bowls more!"
Everyone's attitudes toward the beef balls had suddenly changed. They looked at Xu Que eagerly. However, Xu Que just shook his head coldly.
"No, each person can only have two beef balls!" Xu Que said.
"Why?" people asked ruefully.
"I don't need to tell you why! What I say goes! Although a ham is missing in the middle, two is still the best portion number," Xu Que replied. His answer didn't make much sense, but that was the best they were going to get out of him.
"No, I need more!" Su Xiao Qi said.
"No way!" Xu Que said, directly refusing her.
"Hum! If you refuse me, I will tell your Faction Leader to punish you! I know that d*mned monkey very well," Su Xiao Qi said proudly.
"Oh, really?" Xu Que said with a smile. "He has mentioned Su Ling'er to me, but he has never mentioned you."
"What?" Su Xiao Qi said, her eyes wide. She clenched her teeth. "I don't care! Anyway, I know him very well, so you need to give me more beef balls!"
"Then what is the relationship between you and the Faction Leader?" Xu Que said with a smile, deliberately teasing her.
In her anger, Su Xiao Qi put her hands on her hips and shouted at Xu Que.
"Both my sister and I are his women! Therefore, you should call me and my sister Boss Ladies of the faction!"
Wow!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Most of the guests at the feast were members of the Mysterious Clan. These people were especially stunned at Su Xiao Qi's words.
Su Ling'er's eyes widened as she became flushed. She dragged Su Xiao Qi away to speak to her.
"Xiao Qi, stop talking nonsense!" Su Ling'er said.
"Why? Didn't you say…"
"Shut up!"
This little piece of dialogue continued to shock everyone.
Could…this be real?
Are Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi women of the Shaman Demon King?
"My Gosh! This is awesome!" a person of the Mysterious Clan exclaimed ecstatically.
Some elders of the Mysterious Clan also nodded. Then they looked at Su Ling'er and smiled.
"Good job kid! Well done!"
"No…it's not what you think! Don't listen to Su Xiao Qi's careless words!" Su Ling'er said. She felt so anxious, shy, and embarrassed. She wished she could just dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.
However, people of the Mysterious Clan wouldn't listen to any explanation that she gave. They just looked at Su Ling'er with smiles that all seemed to say "I understand."
It was definitely advantageous for the Mysterious Clan to have Su Xiao Qi and Su Ling'er be Sun Wu Kong's wives. After all, since Sun Wu Kong was the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction, no one would dare to bully the Mysterious Clan ever again!
Xu Que gave several dry coughs.
"Ahem, if this is the case, then fine. You can take the rest of the beef balls," Xu Que said.
Even though his face didn't show it, Xu Que was completely shocked! Judging by that short conversation, it seemed like Su Ling'er had spoken to Su Xiao Qi about the possibility of becoming his wife before!
My Gosh! Marrying these two sisters? Ahem, no. As an upright and honest tough-acting king, I will do it in the future... Exactly! I will just do it in the future!

507 Put That Piece of Roast Pork Away
Chapter 507: Put That Piece of Roast Pork Away
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que had never intended to keep all the remaining beef balls for himself, so he happily divided up the rest of the beef balls amongst Madam Ya, Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi.
Once the rest of the beef balls had been distributed, he stood next to the stove and began to use his bare hands to tenderize a piece of pork.
"Wow! The way he messages the pork seems rather sophisticated."
"It looks very gentle, but is very powerful indeed."
"How strange... Do these dishes require magic incantations in order to make them?"
"He isn't actually using a magic incantation. He is using Kung Fu, and splendidly might I add. Still, I have no idea what he is going to do next."
"There are only some pork chops, some green vegetables and a few eggs laying on the table. What could he possibly make with just these ingredients?"
"The beef balls we ate just now contained the meat of the Sea Tribe. That's why they enhanced our Soul Strength. However, I don't see any shrimp this time. The dish he is making now might just be an ordinary dish."
"You are right. Though it is the God of Cookery who is cooking dinner for us, we were already very privileged to have been able to eat those beef balls. Now, we must accept that this dish will be ordinary."
"Yes, but it is extremely unfortunate that we each only had two beef balls."
Suddenly, a ball of fire appeared on Xu Que's palm. The temperature of the surrounding air around immediately increased. The crowd became worried. They wondered what he was trying to do.
Xu Que chanted a magic incantation which caused the pork to float in the air. Then he surrounded the pork with the Molten Green Lotus. He then waved his hand, causing the pork to rotate quickly in the air.
He was grilling the pork at a very low temperature…
"What on earth…"
"What's going on? The stove is right next to him. Why is he wasting his True Core Power to grill the pork?"
"Wait, it smells…"
As soon as the aroma of the pork reached their noses, everyone was stunned.
It was completely different from any scent they had ever smelled before. In a word, it smelled fantastic!
"I got it! He must have pushed out the bad flavors from the pork while he was messaging it. I also saw him add some honey to it."
"I think he must have also added some spices, but I can't tell what those spices are by simply smelling it."
"My God! We underestimated him again. He is the God of Cookery. Of course his cuisine is always brilliant."
"I can't take it anymore! It just smells so good! It's as if I have been starving for hundreds of years! This is the first time I have ever smelled something so delicious!"
Many of the guests could no longer suppress their hunger. It was as if there were countless ants crawling all over their bodies.
The smell permeated the entire palace.
…
Meanwhile, in a desolated building, three men of the Sea Tribe were drinking.
A few maids were laying on the ground. They were all naked and obviously dead.
"The women in the human world are too ordinary. There is simply not that much Negative Energy inside their bodies," one of the men said.
"By the way, why on earth haven't the other two come back yet?"
"Maybe they have already come back without us noticing since we set up a magic array and have been busy cultivating. Regardless, they are probably busy raping a bunch of women outside."
"I hope they haven't run into any trouble!" a man said, frowning.
"Trouble? Not likely!" the man in red sneered. "I don't think there is anyone in this sh*tty place who could pose a threat to us. Yes, they are not as powerful as us three, but they could easily win against someone at the eighth level of the Infant Transformation Stage."
The two other men nodded.
"You are right. Compared to the people in our hometown, the people here at the eighth level of the Infant Transformation Stage are so much weaker."
"So, you can have as much fun as you want here," the man in red said. "There's no need to worry… Wait, what's that smell?!"
He had never smelled anything like this before. Unable to suppress his desire to draw closer to the smell, he lurched forward.
"Wow! The smell is getting more and more intense!" said one man.
"My God! It's like I've lost control over my own body. Is this some sort of poisonous gas that can influence our bodies against our will?" said the other.
The man in red stood up and looked to the distance.
"It's not a poisonous gas," the man in red said with a smile. "Someone is cooking over there! My my, I never thought we would come across such a good cook here in the Fire Nation!"
"What?!"
Someone is cooking? This is impossible. How can a cook's food have such a great effect on us cultivators?
…
After a while, Xu Que had completely cooked the huge piece of pork.
Everyone was shocked.
"How can this be? How could he turn an ordinary piece of pork into a piece of extremely tasty roast pork?" someone exclaimed.
"This is not roast pork," Xu Que said coldly. "This is Char siu! You have no idea how much time it takes to learn the art of turning a piece of pork into a piece of Char siu. This, here, is an extraordinary Char siu."
"Let me taste it!" Buttface cried, jumping up high into the air and sticking out his tongue as he ran towards the Char siu.
Xu Que secretly smiled. He had prolonged the time it took to cook the tasty Char siu on purpose simply to see if Buttface could resist the temptation or not.
He proved that he could not.
Xu Que was about to stop Buttface in his tracks when a red figure suddenly appeared and grabbed the Char siu out of Xue Que's hands.
"F*ck! Give me that Char siu!" Buttface said, furious.
"How dare a mangy dog oppose me?" the man in red sneered.
In his anger, Buttface lept toward the man, trying to hit the man's arm with his tongue. In a flash, the man's fingertip began to glow as bright as a star. He then used his fingertip to block Buttface's tongue.
Bang!
The man's glowing fingertip collided with Buttfaces tongue, creating a loud noise.
The man in red's face twisted with pain as he was launched across the room...

508 Are My Magic Arts Fake?
Chapter 508: Are My Magic Arts Fake?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang!
The man in red flew across the room.
He was shocked and in great pain, for the dog's tongue had fractured his finger!
How … could this be possible? the man in red exclaimed in his heart.
Cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Because the nerves of his fingers were directly connected to his heart, this slight wound caused him severe pain.
"Ouch! It hurts! Ah, ah!" the man in red cried.
Buttface snatched up the piece of barbequed pork and started screaming.
Because of his cries, everyone thought that Buttface was wounded. However, when they turned around, they found that Buttface was unscratched. He continued to scream hysterically as he licked the barbequed pork.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched.
Damn! This shameless dog!
The man was furious when he found that Buttface was unwounded.
I am the one that is wounded! Why are you screaming? the man thought.
"You are seeking death!" the man said.
The man in red began to perform a magic art with his unwounded hand, a ferocious expression on his face. A blue, divine light appeared and illuminated his fractured finger.
Crack!
The fractured finger was as excellent as before!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, the two other Sea Tribe members arrived.
"Second Young Master, are you wounded?" one of them asked in surprise.
"That dog is quite strange," the man in red snorted. "Avoid close combat with it. Remember, I need it alive. As for the rest of the people, just kill them all. I will use them to vent my anger!"
The man in red dashed out to begin his killing spree.
When the two other men had made their entrance, Madam Ya's face had become pale. She now held the Thunder Illusion Body's arm tightly.
"Lord Li, those men are the remaining three members of the Sea Tribe!"
"It's OK. Don't worry, I'll handle them," the Thunder Illusion Body said, patting Madam Ya's little hand. Then he stood up and stared at the man in red who was rushing over to attack them.
"Buttface," Xu Que shouted calmy. "You can have the barbequed pork later. Now, it's time for you to attack," he said, gesturing to the two other Sea Tribe men.
"I'm not here!" Buttface replied.
He began to run, still holding the barbequed pork in his mouth.
"Hmph, this time you have to pay for what you eat," Xu Que said.
Xu Que smiled slightly and waved his hand. A cloud of powder appeared around Buttface.
"God of Cookery," Su Xiao Qi began. "Tell that d*mned monkey that his dog is running away!"
"He won't get far! I gave him a drug. He will be back soon. Now, time to deal with this big-time seafood," Xu Que said, smiling coldly at the man in red.
The man in red had jumped up to land on the rafters, planning to make his attack from above. He fixed his eyes on Madam Ya who was hugging the Thunder Illusion Body close. He gave a sarcastic smile.
"Madam Ya, is this your boyfriend?" he shouted. "He is quite mediocre! He is only at level one of the Infant Transformation Stage. How dare he try to compete with me?" the man in red laughed arrogantly.
The Thunder Illusion Body smiled coldly up at the man in red.
"Yes, I am just at level one of the Infant Transformation Stage. However, killing sea creatures for dinner is quite easy for me."
Xu Que, who was still disguised as Stephen Chow, stepped out with a smile and began to speak.
"Good news! Tonight's menu has been expanded! You, sea creature in red, what kind of seafood are you? Are you also a mantis shrimp?"
"Watch it! Who the h*ll do you two think you are? How dare you look down upon our tribe?" the man in red said. He was furious.
The man in red raised his finger. He then enlarged his finger to be many times its original size and swung his gigantic phalange at Xu Que, attacking him with a huge pillar of flesh.
"What the h*ll is this?"
Xu Que was stunned, for he had never seen such a strange magic art. Xu Que tried punching the large finger.
Bang!
After punching the wall of flesh, Xu Que flew across the room, landing dozens of meters from where he first stood. A fresh strand of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Xu Que was shocked. He hadn't been wounded this seriously since he had first fought Zhang Dan Shan! He had always been able to defeat powerhouses whose cultivation levels were higher than his. But now, this man in red, who was just two levels above him at level six of the Infant Transformation Stage, had wounded him with one blow.
Are all the cultivators from overseas this powerful?
"Hmm? He's still not dead?" the man in red said, staring at Xu Que coldly with knitted eyebrows.
Compared to the man in red, everyone from the Five Elements Mountain was extremely weak, no matter how high their cultivation level. In his rage, he had attacked this man with all of his strength. However, instead of killing him, he had just wounded him ever so slightly.
"God of Cookery, are you OK?" someone from the Mysterious Clan shouted.
"Stephen Chow, are you all right?" another Mysterious Clan member asked.
Su Ling'er had a serious expression on her face. She looked around at her fellow Mysterious Clan members.
"Go find Sun Wu Kong immediately and ask him to help us!" Su Ling'er commended.
"Right! Do as she says," Su Xiao added. "The God of Cookery is just a chef. How could he possibly be able to defeat these guys? Go and find the d*mned monkey!"
"Yes! Of course!"
Many members of the Mysterious Clan ran off in different directions to search the palace for their Shaman Demon King.
Xu Que smiled ruefully.
Unfortunately, they won't be able to find Sun Wu Kong. D*mn! It's lucky I turned myself into the God of Cookery. This opponent is quite tough. I wouldn't want to be embarrassed in front of the Mysterious Clan while impersonating Sun Wu Kong!
If Xu Que had had the People Killing Book and the People Killing Sword of All Layers, he definitely wouldn't have been wounded. On the contrary, he could have wounded his opponent. However, he had left the People Killing Book and the People Killing Sword with Su Yun Lan. Without it, his physique was not strong enough handle direct collisions with this opponent.
"System, activate the Automatic Recovery Ability!"
Ding! "Automatic Recovery Ability is activated! One Acting Tough Point will be consumed every two hours!"
"Also, check whether there are any powerful magic arts that can help me defeat that guy!"
Ding! "Check finished. The host can purchase these magic arts after upgrading the System to version 4.0!"
The corner of Xu Que's mouth twitched.
F*ck! Fishing in troubled waters again?... This d*mned System always wants me to upgrade it during the worst moments!
It was clear that even Celestial Rank magic arts were not powerful enough to defeat the man in red. Although he was just at level six of the Infant Transformation Stage, his strength was quite formidable! Only Star Rank magic arts would be able to defeat him, which he could only buy after upgrading the System.
"Oh, I just remembered something!" Xu Que said as he fixed his eyes on a package in the System's interface.
When he had completed the Heavenly Tribulation, he had received a big gift package. He had just been too lazy to open it. Plus, he was worried that there wouldn't be anything good in the package.
But perhaps he shouldn't worry so much. After all, it was the gift package of the Heavenly Tribulation. When he thought about it that way, it sounded so majestic! What was he thinking? It must contain something powerful!
Now was the perfect time to open the package. If the package gave him something good, he wouldn't have to spend any of his precious Acting Tough Points to upgrade the System.
It's time to test my luck!
"System, open it!"
Whoosh!
The System interface was filled with a white light. The big gift package turned into several bands of light, each of which flew to other grids within the System interface.
Ding! "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Genuine Flame Devouring Wave, which is a Basic Star Rank magic art!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Genuine Six Corporeal Forms, which is a Basic Star Rank magic art!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Genuine Buddha's Fiery Lotus, which is an Intermediate Star Rank magic art!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Genuine Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets, which is an Advanced Star Rank magic art!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Celestial Artifact Enchanting Spell!"
Xu Que was totally confused about the items that he had just received.
"God d*mn it!" he cursed. "Were all the magic arts that I learned before fake?"

509 He Might Be Poisoned
Chapter 509: He Might Be Poisoned
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que could not believe it…
So, what have I been using all this time? Have my magic incantations all been fake ones? The Flame Devouring Wave, the Six Corporeal Forms and the Buddha's Fiery Lotus... I have already mastered them. Why have these incantations been elevated to the Star Rank simply by adding the word "Genuine?"
"System, explain this to me!" Xu Que shouted in his mind, furious at the System.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming one Acting Tough Point to get a tape!"
"..." Xu Que was speechless. He was too angry for words.
Meanwhile, the man in red was losing his patience.
"Kneel down!" he sneered.
The finger of the man in red quickly grew bigger and bigger and became an enormous column again. He swung his giant finger at Xu Que. Just as it was about to hit him, Hero Li Bai jumped up towards the column while holding his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
"I will teach you a lesson this time!" Hero Li Bai shouted.
Bang!
As soon as the Dark Heavy Buster Sword made contact with the finger, the sword shattered into a million pieces. Still, Hero Li Bai had managed to block the attack for Xu Que.
The man in red glared at Hero Li Bai.
"You want to die, right? Fine, I will make your wish come true."
Hero Li Bai backed away and began a magic incantation. A ball of lightning appeared in his palm.
…
Meanwhile, the other two men from the Sea Tribe were chasing after Buttface who was running away with the Char Siu in his mouth. Buttface did not notice the cloud of powder that Xu Que had cast on him.
All of a sudden, Buttface stopped in his tracks. He felt something going on inside his body.
"What's happening? Why do I feel so hot?" he exclaimed.
He was shocked when he discovered that his ding-dong was growing bigger and bigger. He was having an erection!
"F*ck! Xu Que, how dare you put an aphrodisiac in the Char Siu?!" Buttface cursed, throwing away the meat.
Buttface began to run even faster, covering his dingle with his two front claws to prevent others from seeing it. In spite of his efforts, the two men of the Sea Tribe that were chasing him saw it anyway. They began to laugh.
"Haha! The dog has been drugged with an aphrodisiac!"
"Even so, his wiener is still so small! Hey, you don't need to cover it. No one can see it. It's too small to be seen!"
"Just give up already. Our Second Master wants us to catch you alive."
Normally when Buttface was insulted, he would just curse a little bit, nothing more. This time, however, since he had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, he could not control his temper. Buttface stopped and turned around. He opened his mouth wide and shouted.
"AAAH!"
Bang!
The walls around them immediately collapsed, as did the two men of the Sea Tribe. Blood flew out of their ears. Their eardrums had been broken by Buttfaces scream. Their faces were pale from blood loss and shock.
"Cover your ears!" shouted Su Ling'er.
All the members of the Mysterious Clan covered their ears with their hands and fell to the ground in pain. Some of the weaker members even began to spit out blood.
Madam Ya's face was pale, as was Su Xiao Qi's. It was all thanks to Su Ling'er that they had been able to cover their ears in time to avoid being truly hurt.
As the man in red began to hear Buttface's sound wave, he immediately dashed a few miles away to avoid the deafening sound. As soon as the sound had dissipated, he dashed back to continue fighting.
"What on earth is going on?!" Xu Que said in alarm.
Everyone looked at Buttface. They then looked at the two men, who were badly injured. Buttface's eyes were growing redder by the second. He was becoming a truly ferocious and frightening wolf.
"How dare you say my p*nis is small! F*ck you!" Buttface yelled.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of the two men of the Sea Tribe. He raised his foot, preparing a strong kick.
Bang!
As Buttface kicked one of the men, the Sea Tribe member exploded into pieces. His blood splashed everywhere.
"Yah!" Buttface shouted.
He ejaculated. A light yellow, sticky liquid spurted out of Buttface's meat missile and landed on the other man's face. After this, the redness in Buttface's eyes began to fade. He looked around, then stared at the man of the Sea Tribe who was still alive.
"I will not kill you. By the way, enjoy my delicious sperm!" Buttface said. He then ran away.
No one made a sound.
Everyone was stunned, including the man in red. His peers were all tough figures and their bodies were very powerful. He never thought one of his peers would immediately be turned into a pool of blood after being kicked by a dog.
"Great job! Buttface!" Xu Que said.
Xu Que was also shocked. He never thought Buttface could be this powerful. Xu Que was not able to make any men of the Sea Tribe explode, even with the help of his Killer Sword. He was also shocked that the effect of the aphrodisiac had faded so quickly.
…
The man of the Sea Tribe who had been spared sat on the ground, stunned and terrified. The light yellow, sticky liquid was slowly sliding down his face. The smell of it almost made him faint. He opened his mouth slightly. A little bit trickled onto his tongue. He gagged, remembering that this liquid was Buttface's sperm...
"My Gooooood!" he cried. His yelling was so loud that his shouts echoed throughout the city.
"What's going on? Has he been poisoned?" Su Xiao Qi asked, confused. She looked at Su Ling'er and Madam Ya, hoping one of them would have an answer.
"I think so," Su Ling'er nodded. "He might be poisoned."
Madam Ya was in a daze. When she came to, she began to blush. She recalled one of the nights she had spent with Hero Li Bai a year ago…
…
"Hurry up! Change into your real form and catch up with that dog! He might have something to do with the Nine Dragons Drawing," the man in red shouted at remaining Sea Tribe Member.
The man in red stopped fighting against Xu Que and Li Bai and began to chase after Buttface. However, Hero Li Bai suddenly appeared in front of the man in red and smiled at him.
"Who told you that you could just leave like this? My sword has not agreed to release you yet!"

510 Great Leap of Strength
Chapter 510: Great Leap of Strength

"I don't have time for you now," the man in red snorted at Li Bai. He continued to chase Buttface. "You don't need to rush to your death!"
The man in red knew Buttface was not an ordinary dog. He was a dog with a strong physique and formidable strength. He should be captured for further study!
However, Xu Que wouldn't allow the members of the Sea Tribe to implement their plan. He ordered the Thunder Illusion Body to stop the man in red.
"I don't know what kind of seafood you are," Xu Que said. "However, as long as you are a seafood, we will accept your meat without question. Here is my bowl, now climb in so we can eat you!"
"Hmph! You stupid scoundrel!" the man in red said.
The man in red was angry and started to attack the Thunder Illusion Body with killing magic arts.
The Thunder Illusion Body only had 70% of Xu Que's strength. Therefore, he could easily be defeated by the man in red in close combat, for Xu Que's real body had already been wounded in the close combat with him. Hence, the Thunder Illusion Body retreated immediately and started to fight the man in red using balls of lightning.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The man in red and the Thunder Illusion Body were in the sky attacking each other with magic arts, lighting up the sky with bright flashes.
While the two figures were busy fighting, Xu Que summoned the System again and started to flip through the magic arts he had just obtained from the big gift package of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Genuine Flame Devouring Wave: a genuine fighting skill from the world of Fight Break Spheres, a basic Star Rank magic art, extremely powerful, has a prerequisite: achieve the full foundation of Flame Devouring Wave!
Genuine Six Corporeal Forms: a genuine fighting skill from the world of Fight Break Spheres, a basic Star Rank magic art, extremely powerful, has a prerequisite: achieve the full foundation of Six Corporeal Forms!
Genuine Buddha's Fiery Lotus: a genuine fighting skill from the world of Fight Break Spheres, an intermediate Star Rank magic art, extremely powerful, has a prerequisite: achieve the full foundation of Buddha's Fiery Lotus! (Attention: Genuine Buddha's Fiery Lotus is extremely powerful. Please be careful while performing it to avoid being wounded.)
Genuine Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets: a genuine fighting skill from the world of Zhe Tian, an advanced Star Rank magic art, one of the Nine Secrets, has a 100% chance of multiplying the effect of a magic art by ten, has a prerequisite: achieve the full foundation of the Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets!
After reading this, Xu Que realized that the magic arts he learned before were not fake. The power of his magic arts was merely suppressed. This is why he was never able to achieve the catastrophic effects described in the novels that these techniques originated from.
For example, the Buddha's Fiery Lotus magic art originated in the novel Fight Break Spheres. The power of the Buddha's Fiery Lotus was always magnificent when Xu Que used it. However, he had always felt that something was missing, for it was never as powerful as it was in the novel.
Now that he had obtained the Genuine Buddha's Fiery Lotus, this magic art would finally be as powerful as the technique used in Fight Break Spheres. His Flame Devouring Wave and his Six Corporal Form techniques would also reach their full potential.
However, Xu Que was a little bit embarrassed about receiving the Genuine Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets magic art. He was itching to try it, but he couldn't perform it because he hadn't learned the standard Secret of 'All' yet. And it was not easy to obtain the standard Secret of 'All.'
The System's purchasing method of the Nine Secrets was very elusive. He could only purchase one of the nine secrets at a time, and the secret that he purchased would always be random.
Xu Que had tried purchasing one of the Nine Secrets once before. He got the Secret of Weapon, which granted him the ability to rob an opponent of his weapon during combat. However, this magic art consumes a lot of True Core Strength when it is used, so he seldom used it. Besides, he was always able to defeat his opponents easily, even with them having strong weapons.
In the novel Zhe Tian, the Secret of 'All' was very formidable. It could enhance all the user's attributes ten times over, including the user's strength, his physique, his magic arts, and more. It was more comprehensive and powerful than the Soaring Dragon's Nine Transformation, the People Killing Sword and the People Killing Book. On top of this, the success rate of the magic art was 100%.
Although he wanted to try this technique now, he did not have enough time to try and purchase it. The man in red was too powerful. The Thunder Illusion Body couldn't hold out much longer.
When this fight is over, I should try my luck to see if I can purchase the Secret of 'All' from the System! Xu Que said in his heart.
He navigated the System interface and learned Genuine Flame Devouring Wave, Genuine Six Corporeal Forms and Genuine Buddha's Fiery Lotus. These three Star Rank magic arts made Xu Que more powerful than ever before. He was a brand new powerhouse.
After he had upgraded his abilities, he eyed the Celestial Artifact Enchanting Spell which was still in the System package. This was the last gift that he had received from the big gift package. He had never received one of these spells before, so he read the description.
Celestial Artifact Enchanting Spell: effective for two hours, upgrades any item to Celestial Rank temporarily (Attention: a lot of True Core Strength is consumed when using a Celestial Artifact. Please use with caution to avoid using up too much True Core Strength!)
Pooh! As a tough-acting king, I am very strong. I don't need to worry about using up all of my True Core Strength! Xu Que snorted in his mind.
Xu Que took out his eight-star sword and used the Celestial Artifact Enchanting Spell on it without any hesitation. This spell would only upgrade ordinary items to the Celestial Rank for two hours. Despite the time limit, there was no sense in wasting this opportunity to test how formidable a Celestial Artifact could be.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, the sword gave off a dazzling beam of light. A cloud of magnificent Spiritual Qi rose up and permeated the area.
Everyone was surprised.
"What's…this?"
"How did the Spiritual Qi in this area become so magnificent? All of my pores are opened!"
"My God! Is it because of the God of Cookery's sword?"
People turned around to look at Xu Que in surprise.
The man in red who was battling the Thunder Illusion Body in the sky was also surprised.
"A Celestial Artifact? How could this be possible? How do you have a Celestial Artifact?" the man in red shouted.
Hum!
The sword in Xu Que's hand started to vibrate violently.
This vibration was not caused by Xu Que, but by the sword itself. It seemed as if the sword had been triggered by some kind of force. It vibrated so violently that it almost flew out of Xu Que's hand.
The next moment, the light on the sword faded. The Spiritual Qi and the vibrations had also grown weaker. It seemed like the sword had been restored to its original state.
"Sh*t! What's going on?" Xu Que asked, his eyes wide.
What the h*ll? Shouldn't the spell last for two hours? This was even shorter than one minute!
"System, explain this!"
Ding! "A Sword Spirit is found inside the sword, who is in secluded cultivation. After the host used the spell to upgrade the sword to a Celestial Sword, the Sword Spirit absorbed all the Spiritual Qi!" the System replied.
Xu Que was dumbfounded.
The Sword Spirit did this!
When Xu Que was in the Water Nation, he had heard that every Sword Spirit needed to have a period of secluded cultivation. However, he didn't expect for Sword Spirits to be troublesome when in this state. He had managed to create a temporary Celestial Artifact with great difficulty. However, this temporary Celestial Artifact was gone before he could use it.
Gah! I am so pissed off!
"Hehe, I thought that that was a Celestial Artifact, but is just a grandiose piece of scrap!" the man in red sneered.
Xu Que looked at the man in red with a cold smile.
So what? Now I have three Star-Rank magic arts. I can defeat you easily with any one of them!
Xu Que stepped out and looked up at his Thunder Illusion Body.
"Li Bai, you can come back now. It's my turn," Xu Que said ostentatiously.
"OK!" the Thunder Illusion Body said. He retreated and landed on the ground.
"You, cook! You also seek for death?" The man said, shaking his head.
Xu Que squinted his eyes.
"Little seafood, have you heard of a palm technique which can fall from the sky?"

511 Being Harshly Bea
Chapter 511: Being Harshly Beat
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A palm technique which can fall from the sky?
Everyone was confused, including the man in red.
There are countless palm techniques which can fall from the sky! God only knows which one you refer to! the man in red thought.
"Stop making a scene! Don't waste my time. Since you are seeking death, I shall make your wish come true."
The man in red shook his head and pointed his finger at Xu Que again.
Bang!
All of a sudden, the air began to ripple. His finger turned into an enormous column again. He swung his finger toward Xu Que.
"We shall see who's stronger," Xu Que sneered.
A new Dark Heavy Buster Sword appeared in Xu Que's palm. His True Core Strength started to tumble inside his body. An air current appeared and swirled around Xu Que's arm, gathering around the Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
Xu Que performed a Genuine Flame Devouring Wave with his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
Bang!
The Dark Heavy Buster Sword collided with the enormous column. The huge energy wave caused Xu Que to back up a few feet, while the man in red almost fell over. Both of them were still intact.
"How can this be?" the man in red said, stunned.
"It seems that I have overestimated you!" Xu Que sneered.
Xu Que's long white hair was flowing in the wind. He looked heavenly handsome. Everyone was shocked. They had never thought the God of Cookery could be this powerful.
How has the cook suddenly become this powerful? What has happened to him?
"You are just a cook! How dare you offend me like this!" the man in red sneered.
He flew across the sky horizontally and summoned a massive amount of cold seawater. The water quickly soared upward and molded into the shape of a dragon. He then stood on the head of the "water dragon" and headed towards Xu Que.
"God of Cookery, be careful!" people on the ground screamed.
Xu Que gently waved his Dark Heavy Buster Sword. He then jumped upward and performed Genuine Six Corporeal Forms.
Bang!
All of a sudden, countless shadows of the Dark Heavy Buster Sword appeared and covered the sky. Normally, no one would choose to use this sort of tactic in a battle, since it was a bit reckless. However, since both the Six Corporeal Forms and the Flame Devouring Wave had been elevated to Star Rank, Xu Que didn't care if he was being reckless or not.
Bang!
The shadows collided with the man in red and the "water dragon." Both men were thrown backward. The explosion wave spread outward in all directions. Countless buildings collapsed around them. The flagstone flooring below broke into tiny pieces.
As Xu Que fell, his body changed into numerous green leaves, which fell to the ground.
"What?" said the man in red. He was so surprised that his pupils dilated.
Suddenly, Xu Que appeared in front of the man in red, who was still falling through the air, and hit him with the Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
Bang!
The man in red failed to dodge the attack. Xu Que continued to hit him again and again…
As Xu Que continued to slash at the man in red, he performed Soaring Dragon's Nine Transformation. Many dragons flew out of Xu Que's body one after another. After they had all emerged, the dragons flew into his head again. The energy inside his body was getting more and more intense.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xu Que was attacking the man in red so quickly that he could not even fight back. Everyone held their breath, for they feared that if they took a breath, the consecutive blows would be disrupted.
Everyone was stunned. This cook, who was supposed to only be good at cooking, was managing to beat up this extremely powerful man in red, who came from the Sea Tribe.
Bang!
At last, the man in red fell to the ground. He hit the ground so hard that he even made a hole in it. He was badly injured and kept spitting out blood.
It was extremely quiet…
After a while, everyone took a deep breath.
Xu Que landed on the ground, his Dark Heavy Buster Sword connecting with the earth.
Bang!
The ground seemed to shake upon the sword's impact.
"How dare you hurt me?" the man in red said angrily. Although he had been seriously injured, he was still alive.
Xu Que gently raised up his arm.
"The one who has lost, lies down; the one who has won, stands firmly," Xu Que sneered.
Everyone took a deep breath.
The cook is really quite something!
Bang!
The man in red burst out of the hole, scattering countless small stones across the ground.
"I am going to crush you into pieces!" said the man in red.
The man in red began to shine. He rose up in the air and was getting larger and larger.
"Oh no! He is transforming into his true form!" Su Ling'er exclaimed.
The man in red was already very powerful when he was in his human form. The people watching could not even imagine how powerful he was when in his true form.
Xu Que smiled. As far as he knew, he had not encountered any sea creature that was as powerful as this man. He very curious about what on earth this man in red who could change his finger into an enormous column really was.
In the blink of an eye, the man in red became as huge as a mountain. He began gathering Spiritual Qi from all directions. The Spiritual Qi swirled together to form a sea-like vortex above his head.
"Every one of you is going to die today!" the creature shouted.
As soon as the transformation was complete, the light emanating from his body dissipated. Everyone was stunned by this huge creature in front of them.
Xu Que's eyes widened in surprise.
"Holy sh*t! You're a geoduck!"

512 You Look So Filthy, Pooh!
Chapter 512: You Look So Filthy, Pooh!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The sea-like Spiritual Qi was swirling around the creature of the Sea Tribe. The man in red had revealed his true body, which was floating in the sky like an enormous mountain.
The creature was essentially a menacing, giant meat pillar. At the base of the creature's duel siphons, or neck, was a tremendous shell. It looked exactly like a Geoduck that had been magnified immensely.
"Hmm, even a frog-in-a-well like you can recognize our tribe! The Geoduck Tribe has existed since the ancient times. You should feel honored to gaze upon my real body before your death," the Geoduck said. He gave a cold and arrogant smile as he looked down upon everyone.
The crowd was was shocked at the Geoduck's appearance. Although they had read about Geoducks before in ancient books, no one had ever seen a Geoduck before. Now that they were looking at one, they felt a bit strange. Something about this strange Sea Tribe creature looked oddly familiar.
Xu Que put his hands on his hips and shouted up at the Sea Tribe member.
"It's not difficult to recognize your tribe. Everyone from your tribe looks like a d*ck stuffed into a shell. What a bunch of ugly perverts. You look so filthy, pooh!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
A big…d*ck?
Holy sh*t! I have to admit, it really does look like a big d*ck that's been stuffed into a shell. It's so gross!
"Behave yourself…" the Geoduck growled furiously.
"Behave your big d*ck!" Xu Que replied casually.
"You are seeking death!" the Geoduck shouted angrily. His shouts were deafening.
"You are seeking your big d*ck!" Xu Que was still calm.
The Geoduck was extremely angry. He wasn't able to say anything without Xu Que replacing the end of his sentence with "big d*ck." Even back home their tribe used to be ridiculed like this by other stronger tribes. These kind of insults were their burning shame.
Xu Que began to size up his opponent. His body was composed of two tremendous shells and one giant, fleshy neck that resembled an elephant trunk… or a d*ck. At the front end of the neck, there were some saw-like teeth. The neck could also extend and retract like a giant worm. Xu Que suddenly realized that the man's ability to enlarge his finger into a large pillar of flesh stemmed from his duel siphons.
Suddenly, the Geoduck extended his neck, preparing for an attack. The Geoduck's siphons swung at Xu Que, but he dodged just in time.
Boom!
As Xu Que dodged, the Geoduck's siphons slammed into the ground, creating deep fissures in every direction. The ground shook beneath everyone's feet. The blow was powerful enough to shatter a mountain. The nearby buildings were now in ruins.
Everyone was stunned.
His formidable strength is unstoppable!
He demolished the ground with just one blow. Could it be that he could crush a mountain in a blink of an eye?
"Sh*t! You pervert!" Xu Que cursed. "You can fight me, sure, but stop thrusting at me with your d*ck!"
The Geoduck was angry that his attack missed. He extended his neck and bore his razor sharp teeth.
Growl!
A wild wind gushed out of the tips of his siphons and swept over the whole area.
"Wow, look!" Xu Que shouted to the crowd, pointing at the Geoduck.
Everyone was puzzled.
What is it? What do you want us to see?
"This guy is really awesome! I mean, he's got teeth in his d*ck!" Xu Que said. He voiced this discovery with the same excitement as someone who had just discovered a new continent.
Everyone in the crowd tried to keep a straight face… However, someone couldn't help bursting into laughter.
Snigger!
What a mean, funny, and disgusting joke! Xu Que's metaphor was extremely vivid, especially to all the men in the crowd! The Geoduck's teeth were supposed to deter enemies. However, now they had become something to laugh at. Despite this, the crowd had the decency to not shout out the interpretation of the metaphor.
A dick with teeth inside… what a vivid metaphor.
…
Growl!
Once again, the Geoduck was furious. He swung his neck at Xu Que and opened the tips of his siphons. Waves of light blue water gushed out of his siphon tips. The dense, chilling waves, which were as sharp as swords, surged towards Xu Que. Xu Que squinted and dodged the attack by jumping up into the sky.
"You are so different in your true form! Since your d*ck couldn't hit me, you thought you'd try spraying me with your urine?" Xu Que sneered.
Although Xu Que had mastered three Star-Rank magic arts and had performed the Soaring Dragon's Nine Transformation, his physique hadn't been sufficiently strengthened yet. Therefore, he couldn't withstand a direct collision with the Geoduck.
Without hesitation, the Geoduck raised his giant neck in an attempt to hit Xu Que to the ground.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a figure appeared. It was Xu Que's Thunder Illusion Body, which had the appearance of Li Bai. The Thunder Illusion Body held a Dark Heavy Buster Sword in his hand. Li Bai slashed at the Geoduck's neck, stopping its attack.
"Hum! This time, you die first!" the Geoduck snorted.
The Geoduck turned toward the Thunder Illusion Body and swung his siphons at Li Bai. Despite his size, the Geoduck was incredibly fast.
Boom!
The mountainous siphons smashed against Li Bai. The Thunder Illusion Body exploded and disappeared, just like the first time a member of the Sea Tribe destroyed it.
"Lord Li!" shouted Madam Ya and many members of the Mysterious Clan.
Although they knew Li Bai was immortal, it was still a terrible shock to witness him disappear like this. Everyone became increasingly worried.
This man of the Sea Tribe is way too powerful! He killed Lord Li Bai with just one move!
Perhaps this gigantic creature can only be killed by the joint attack of the Exploding Heavens Faction's ten sovereigns!
After killing the Thunder Illusion Body, the Geoduck looked up at the sky again.
"What? Has he run away?" the Geoduck snorted disdainfully.
Xu Que had disappeared. After jumping into the sky, his figure and aura vanished.
The sky was quiet and the crowd was silent.
"Since that good-for-nothing has run away, now it's your turn!"
Everyone was shocked by the Geoduck's threat. Their faces paled and their legs shook in fear. For the Mysterious Clan, this sense of terror was even greater than when they were facing tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts!
Su Ling'er's lips were pale, as were Madam Ya's. They both sensed that death was approaching.
If Sun Wu Kong were fighting the Geoduck, the Mysterious Clan believed that he would never run away. They had never been confident in the God of Cookery's combat abilities. Besides, he had only been asked to cook dishes for them. He was not obligated to protect them. But alas, Sun Wu Kong was nowhere to be found.
On top of this, Li Bai had been smashed to pieces and was still not revived. Even when he did revive, he couldn't protect them by himself. The Geoduck would just easily defeat him again.
Sun Wu Kong, where the h*ll are you? Su Ling'er thought.
Su Ling'er looked around anxiously. However, Xu Que was indeed gone without a trace.
Whoosh!
The Geoduck launched his attack. The mountainous neck was raised high and was about to smash all people below it like a falling sun.
Rumble!
Everyone felt an abrupt and horrible force coming from the sky.
Everyone shivered. The Geoduck was also surprised. Everyone looked up.
They saw a figure wrapped in fire that was falling like an asteroid. The majestic figure was barreling towards the ground head first, his hands pressed together. His speed was so fast that he even broke the sound barrier.
Boom!
Everyone was completely shocked.
"This…this is…"
The God of Cookery's question, the one that he had asked the man in red before he transformed, resounded in everyone's minds:
Have you heard of a palm technique which can fall from the sky?

513 The Patron Saint of the Exploding Heavens Faction
Chapter 513: The Patron Saint of the Exploding Heavens Faction
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang!
A sonic boom was heard as Xu Que flew toward the ground, breaking the sound barrier. Green, white, and black flames surrounded him. The flames twisted through the air and became intertwined as he continued to descend.
Everyone felt the magnificent power of the fire. Some people in the crowd were so awestruck that they felt like they should be kneeling down in reverence.
The Geoduck was in a daze. He then shook his head and shouted up at the sky.
"You are just a cook! How dare you be so arrogant in front of me! You are just putting on a show. Do you really expect me to believe all this?! Go to h*ll!"
Earlier, Xu Que had summoned a sword that had been temporarily enhanced to be at the same power level as a Celestial Artifact. However, this enhancement only lasted for less than a minute because the Sword Spirit inside the weapon absorbed all of the Heavenly Qi. Because the enhancement didn't work out in Xu Que's favor, the Geoduck believed that Xu Que was simply putting on a show.
The Geoduck jumped up and flew towards Xu Que like a missile. Although the Geoduck still believed that Xu Que was just putting on a show, he decided he'd better play it safe. Thus, the Geoduck caused the water vapor in the air to condense into liquid, covering himself in a thick layer of water. The Geoduck now looked like a flying water dragon.
Xu Que was gradually gathering the fire that was surrounding him to rest in his palm. Now that he had learned the Genuine Buddha's Fiery Lotus, he no longer needed to use his hands to control the flames. He could now easily control the fiery lotus with his mind.
Unfortunately, using his mind to gather up the flames wasn't any faster. However, since his hands were free, he had a greater capacity to act tough. Soon, a beautiful three-colored fiery lotus formed in his right palm.
The two powerhouses continued to speed toward each other. This was a battle between water and fire.
Everyone held their breath. The Geoduck was too powerful. They were afraid that the God of Cookery would be killed.
Even Hero Li Bai has been killed. I don't think the God of Cookery can win…
"Whatever you're up to, know that your days are numbered!" the Geoduck laughed.
Xu Que remained calm as he flew downward, the three-colored fiery lotus burning in his right palm.
There was now only ten miles between them.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Xu Que turned on a dime. He was now flying upward at the speed of lightning.
Everyone was stunned.
What's going on? Is the God of Cookery too afraid to fight?
"This can't be! Is it over? Are we going to die?"
"How can he just run away like this?"
"I think we'd better way too! Without our Shaman Demon King, we're toast!"
"Wait! Something's not right. Where is the fiery lotus? It is gone!"
"Yes! It's gone!"
Seeing Xu Que fly up into the sky away from him, the Geoduck began to laugh.
"I knew it! He was just putting on a show. Well, it's too late to run away. You--"
Before the Geoduck finished his words, the beautiful, three-colored fiery lotus suddenly appeared right in front of his face.
The System had warned Xu Que that the power of the Genuine Buddha's Fiery Lotus was very magnificent and that he must be careful when using it. Thus, he had waited until the Geoduck was close enough so he could throw the fiery lotus at him. This way, Xu Que wouldn't get caught in the attack.
Now that the fiery lotus was right in front of him, the Geoduck realized that Xu Que was not just putting on a show. He had never seen anything that had filled him with more terror than this fiery lotus. He could feel Death waving its awful hand before the fiery lotus even touched him.
The Geoduck's huge body trembled. It tried to escape, but it was already too late.
The lotus began to bloom…
"No!!!" the Geoduck screamed.
Bang!
The fiery lotus bloomed, creating an enormous fire wave. The fire wave spread out in all directions, devouring everything in the surrounding air. The explosion wave spread down to the ground. Even the distant mountains shook.
Everyone in the crowd was literally blown away by the explosion wave, including Su Ling'er, who was in the Infant Transformation Stage.
Countless buildings collapsed and turned into ashes. The entire sky was covered in fire, just like the h*ll depicted in the novel the fiery lotus originated from.
"Ah!..."
The Geoduck was surrounded by the fire. His screams echoed through the air.
He never thought that Xu Que's fiery lotus could be this powerful. The Spiritual Qi that the fiery lotus emitted was extremely magnificent.
After a long while, the explosion wave finally faded. Everyone managed to get to their feet. The groaning in the air continued.
Everyone was shocked by this scene. No one thought the God of Cookery could be this powerful… What shocked them more was that the Geoduck was still alive.
As the fire gradually faded away, a floating figure came into focus. It was the God of Cookery. His white hair was flowing in the wind as he gradually descended. He put his hands behind his back and stopped his decent in front of the Geoduck.
The Geoduck was covered in blood. Its huge, thick shell had been broken into pieces. It had also been totally baked. Its enormous neck had shrunk substantially.
"You think you can kill me?" Xu Que sneered. "Who do you think you are?! You ugly c*ck-shaped creature!"
Bang!
Xu Que hit the Geoduck with his Dark Heavy Buster Sword. The air around the Dark Heavy Buster Sword rippled…
The Geoduck fell to the ground. It landed so hard that it made a hole in the spot where it had landed.
It was extremely quiet. No one had expected the God of Cookery to win.
"Remember, I am not only the cook of the Exploding Heavens Faction. I am also one of its nine Patron Saints! They call me the Ultraman Tiga!"
Xu Que took out a red crystal and stuck it on his chest.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The crystal rang and gave off a red light.
Xu Que raised his head and held up his fists. He stood firmly and jumped upward like a rocket. He became smaller and smaller until he finally disappeared.
Everyone was stunned.
Ultraman Tiga?! Nine Patron Saints? Guardian of the Exploding Heavens Faction?

514 They Are in Your Stomach!
Chapter 514: They Are in Your Stomach!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This was the first time people had heard about the Guardian of the Exploding Heavens Faction.
For many of them, this was also the first time hearing about the God of Cookery, let alone the Guardian of the Exploding Heavens Faction!
However, they hadn't expected this God of Cookery, who was new to them, to have such formidable strength.
At the very beginning, he had still been no match for the Geoduck of the Sea Tribe, and had obviously been in a bad situation. However, in the blink of an eye, he returned with powerful momentum and beat the Geoduck half dead instantly.
Then he left like a secluded expert.
All the people in the area were impressed by this scene and viewed the Exploding Heavens Faction with more reverence.
This faction is so mysterious and fearsome!
No one knew how many powerful experts were in this faction! A formidable powerhouse could have jumped out suddenly to devastate anyone who dared to challenge the Exploding Heavens Faction!
…
At this moment, someone asked with puzzlement, "It's odd! Why has Lord Li Bai still not been revived?"
"Right! According to the time of his last revival, he should have come back now!"
People started to look around.
Madam Ya was in a daze for a while, then she also started to search for Li Bai anxiously.
At this moment, a beam of light shot over from afar.
Whoosh!
Xu Que reappeared in the name of Li Bai, who was dressed like a scholar, wearing white robes and the Human-skin Mask of Hu Ge.
The purpose of pretending to be Ultraman was to look for a chance to leave and come back in his real body. Now, this seamless connection had finally been realized.
"Look, Lord Li Bai is back!" someone saw Xu Que and shouted immediately.
Madam Ya's face beamed with delight as she let out a sigh of complete relief.
"It's strange! Why has he come back from so far away?" someone else asked confusedly.
Hearing this, Xu Que, who had just landed, said with a faint smile, "After a great battle, the Spiritual Qi in this place is too scarce. I moved to another place to reshape my body. Hm? Has the God of Cookery already left?"
"Yes, the God of Cookery just left. He's so powerful!"
"Then where is the Geoduck?" Xu Que started to show off his acting skills by pretending not to know anything.
"It's over there!" People immediately pointed at the ruins in the distance.
In the pit, the Geoduck was lying close to death and couldn't believe what had happened.
Even as a powerhouse, he had been defeated by a cultivator from Five Elements Mountain that he looked down upon. More importantly, this guy was only at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage, which was two levels lower than his cultivation level.
For him, this was totally unacceptable!
However, he felt happy that he was still alive. Instead of killing him, his opponent had just turned around and left.
Therefore, the Geoduck was frantically using his magic arts and trying to recover from his wounds.
At just that moment, a figure appeared at the edge of the pit, staring at him with a smile.
After coming to himself, the Geoduck was greatly shocked and shouted in surprise, "How… could this be possible?"
The one who had appeared at the edge of the pit was Li Bai, who was disguised using Xu Que's real body.
His face was familiar to the Geoduck.
The Geoduck could remember clearly that the one in front of him had been smashed by him earlier, but this guy had appeared unscratched!
No, this must be a hallucination! A hallucination caused by my severe wound!
The Geoduck was so terrified that he couldn't believe someone in this world could be resurrected after death.
"What? You're still not dead? The God of Cookery didn't boil you! It seems he really disliked your appearance," Xu Que said suddenly with a smile.
The Geoduck was dumbfounded immediately.
This is not a hallucination!
Sh*t! This guy was really resurrected after death!
"How… could you…" he said with a shaky voice. His wound was so severe that he couldn't even put a sentence together!
Xu Que replied with a smile, "You want to know why I'm still alive, right? During the daytime, your two mantis shrimp friends also asked this question!"
"W-what? Where are they?" the Geoduck asked angrily, clenching his teeth.
Squinting his eyes, Xu Que took out a beef ball, weighed it in his hand, and then tossed it into the Geoduck's meat pipe, taking him by surprise.
"What… did you do?" the Geoduck was surprised. However, he was too weak to spit out the beef ball.
However, the next moment, the Geoduck shivered and was totally stunned.
After entering his mouth, the beef ball melted immediately. An extremely delicious, rich aroma filled his body instantly. It was so delicious that he almost called out.
This is so delicious! How could such a delicious thing exist in this world?
Soon, the Geoduck sensed his Soul Strength had abruptly been strengthened, which made him even more terrified.
"What… what's this?" he asked in surprise. Meanwhile, he was also puzzled why this person would feed him such a delicious food!
"The Juicy Beef Ball of the Exploding Heavens Faction! Is it delicious?" Xu Que replied with a smile.
The Geoduck almost replied, "Yes." However, he came to himself immediately and said in a low voice, "Don't get the idea that… I will forgive you after a petty favor!"
At this moment, he was trying to figure out Xu Que and the other's minds, then came to a conclusion.
He thought the reason that the God of Cookery hadn't killed him was that the God of Cookery was afraid of the Sea Tribe's revenge.
Moreover, the man in front of him gave him such magnificent food, which further proved his inference.
Hence, the Geoduck was emboldened again and said impudently, "Where the hell are my two underlings?"
"Oh, parts of them are in your stomach," Xu Que said while pointing at the Geoduck's body, for he didn't know where the stomach of the Geoduck was.
"What do you mean?" The Geoduck was stunned. It seemed he hadn't figured out what Xu Que meant.
"Alas, I can forgive your ugly appearance, but your low IQ is really unacceptable! The beef ball you ate just now was made of the meat of the mantis shrimps. I chopped them up forty-nine times and made them into shrimp paste, then the paste was solidified through steaming, then I wrapped the solid shrimp paste with beef, then I threw one of them into your stomach, understand?" Xu Que explained patiently.
The Geoduck was dumbfounded. Then he spat out a strand of fresh blood from his mouth.
"You… you are asking for it!" the Geoduck shouted angrily. Apparently, he was raging like a mad man.
His opponent had killed his two underlings and mercilessly made them into food. Then he had even made him eat the food made out of his underlings, which almost drove him crazy.
"Don't be angry, anger may ruin your health. Just tell me, where are you from? Where is your home? What do your parents do for a living? Do you have siblings? Does your sister-in-law like dumplings?" With a smile, Xu Que asked these questions gently.
The Geoduck had nearly been driven mad. He couldn't figure out Xu Que's intentions, so he asked warily, "What are you going to do?"
With a big smile on his face, Xu Que said, "Nothing, I just plan to call the elder members of your family. Don't worry, our Exploding Heavens Faction is a principled organization. We guarantee we will not take a single needle or piece of thread from the masses!"

515 You Can Feel Free to Kill I
Chapter 515: You Can Feel Free to Kill It
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Not taking any thread or needles?
Hearing this, the people present all felt quite confused.
After all, they had been living in the Fire Nation all their lives and had never been to the Water Nation, where the phrase "not taking any thread or needles" had become trendy.
The Geoduck sneered. "You want to pay a visit to the elders in my Clan? You must be joking."
Bang!
Xu Que suddenly took out his Dark Heavy Buster Sword and hit right on the Geoduck's head.
"Ah..." the Geoduck screamed in pain.
Its wound worsened, and it felt extreme pain.
"As a gentleman, I don't like using force against anyone else, but you always make me go against my principles!" Xu Que shook his head and smiled.
Hearing this, people were surprised.
We should never judge a person by their looks. I never thought Hero Li Bai who looked so gentle could be so sly. No wonder he's a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction. It seems that everyone in the Exploding Heavens Faction is cruel.
The Geoduck shouted, "If you ever dare to kill me, my people will definitely get revenge for me and kill everyone living on the Five Elements Mountain. Even the God of Cookery didn't dare to kill me. I don't think you have the balls to do it, either."
"The God of Cookery simply feels that your blood might stain his hands, which is why he didn't kill you. In fact, I totally understand him. You can be sure that I won't kill you myself," Xu Que smiled.
He immediately turned around and shouted, "Come and kill the Geoduck right now. Chop it into pieces and feed it to a dog."
"What?!"
The soldiers were all shocked.
Obviously, the Geoduck was a very influential figure in the Sea Tribe, and besides that, it had come from overseas.
If the Geoduck was killed, the entire Five Nations, including the Fire Nation, would be destroyed.
"Hero Li Bai, please think carefully before you decide to kill it, what if…" a guard walked forward and said in a low voice.
Before the guard had finished his words, Madame Ya, who was close by sneered. "Are you deaf? Hero Li Bai has given the order to kill it! I told you that Hero Li Bai's words should always be obeyed!"
"Please forgive us! We will kill it right now."
All the guards knelt down.
Seeing this, Xu Que smiled. He was very happy to know that Madame Ya loved him that much and would support him in whatever he did.
"I know what you're worried about, but don't worry. The Sea Tribe is just a tiny ant compared to the Exploding Heavens Faction. Just kill it like I said." Xu Que waved his hand.
Meanwhile, he looked at the Geoduck to see its reaction.
Hearing this, the Geoduck felt extremely terrified.
"I bet you wouldn't dare…" the Geoduck knew Xu Que meant what he said, and he was desperate.
"Then you will see if I dare or not." Xu Que smiled and took out his sword of eight stars and gave it to a guard. "Take it, the Geoduck's skin is really firm. It takes a bit of work to saw through it."
"Saw?!" The guard's hands trembled.
"Remember, don't cut or pierce it. The God of Cookery once told me that the original flavor of the Geoduck's meat could only be maintained by using a saw."
"..." The guard was stunned.
He thought Hero Li Bai had only wanted to kill the Geoduck, but he had never thought he would want its meat cut off with a saw.
"Never mind. You are indeed a coward. If you don't want to use a saw, then we won't use it."
Xu Que shook his head and put his sword of eight stars back in the System Parcel.
The people around were surprised again.
So was the Geoduck. It thought Xu Que had decided not to kill it and was relieved.
I knew it. The Sea Tribe is very famous and influential, and he must have heard a lot about my Clan. I'm sure that he doesn't have the balls to kill me. I knew he was joking earlier.
Xu Que looked around and then said in a low voice, "Bring hundreds of dogs here, and no one feed them anything for at least two days. Feed them aphrodisiacs and put them together with the Geoduck in one cage."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
He is really a cruel man! Locking the Geoduck together with hundreds of dogs that have not eaten anything for two days, and an aphrodisiac, seriously?!"
"People from the Exploding Heavens Faction never let me down!" an old man from the Mysterious Clan forced out a smile and said.
The audience all nodded.
The Geoduck was completely shocked. After a long while, it finally collected itself and said, "No! You cannot do this to me! I am the lord of the sea. How dare you do this to me."
"Nonsense! The Exploding Heavens Faction is the only lord in this world. Who do you think you are!" Xu Que sneered.
The Geoduck shouted, "I knew it, you've never heard of my Clan. We are one of the Nine Patron Saints of the Ancient Dragon Clan, the offspring of the Dragon Guard. If you ever kill me, you will be hunted down by the other nine Sea Tribes."
"I don't care! You guys are so far away from me that I'm not afraid at all," Xu Que sneered.
"You are being naive! Yes, it is not that easy to find the Five Elements Mountain, but it doesn't mean we could not find it. There isn't that much Spiritual Qi here, besides, the whole area is under the influence of the ancient seal, which is why I failed to exert my full power! Otherwise, I would have already killed you! In the future, when my Clan breaks the seal, you are bound to die," the Geoduck said in a low voice.
Hearing this, the people present were stunned.
"How can this be?"
"The Geoduck has not yet exerted its full power?!"
"My god! How powerful is he then?!"
"There's an ancient seal here? Why on earth have I never heard about it?"
…
Xu Que frowned.
He had already known that there was an ancient seal here. He had dragged out five Dragon Vines and broken five seals. Still, he could not find the sixth one.
Judging from what the Geoduck had said, Xu Que was sure that there was actually a creature confined beneath the Five Elements Mountain, just as Buttface had said before.
Once cultivators from overseas come here, their power is greatly weakened? If it is telling the truth, then people from overseas are indeed much more powerful than I thought, Xu Que thought.
"Hero Li Bai, what should we do now?" The guard looked at Xu Que carefully.
After hearing what the Geoduck had said, the guard was worried and hoped Xu Que would change his mind to not kill the Geoduck.
Instead, Xu Que smiled. "It will be fine. Haven't you heard? The Geoduck said when its Clan finds us, we're be doomed. In other words, its Clan doesn't know about this place at this moment… or they don't even have any idea that the Geoduck is trapped here! So, feel free to kill it."

516 Care About the Common People in This World
Chapter 516: Care About the Common People in This World
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Xu Que finished his words, the Geoduck became speechless!
At this moment, he realized he had done something stupid.
Before, he had thought he could threaten Xu Que with the power of his tribe and deter these people from killing him.
Even Xu Que was worried; if he couldn't locate the Geoduck tribe and eliminate them all, he might have caused calamity for all people in the Five Elements Mountain.
But now, the Geoduck had revealed something in order to protect himself that had been captured by Xu Que.
What the Geoduck had said revealed that this place was still unknown to people of his tribe, who even didn't know that the Geoduck and his underlings were in the Five Elements Mountain.
This was also the reality. The Geoduck and his underlings had gone out for an outing. They had been too far away from home and came across a storm in the vast sea that blew them to the Five Elements Mountain.
Therefore, not only did his tribe not know they were in the Five Elements Mountain, even the Geoduck and his underlings needed to spend some time figuring out the way to get back!
"No, wait! I didn't say that! What I said was wrong! The people of my tribe know we are in the Five Elements Mountain. You can't kill me!" the Geoduck was flustered and corrected himself hastily.
However, Xu Que, who had seen through his lies, shook his head and said with a smile, "Actually, even if the people of your tribe know you are here, I'll still kill you. The Exploding Heavens Faction can spend a little bit more time to kill all the Geoducks in the sea to spare any later troubles, it's not a big deal!"
"Are… you going to kill everyone in our tribe?" the Geoduck asked in shock.
He hadn't expected Xu Que to be so bold as to form a plan to eliminate his tribe.
"That's impossible! In our tribe, there are two elders at the Void Training Stage. We even have a Patriarch at the Form Synthesis Stage, although he has been in secluded cultivation for many years. He will definitely stop you if you dare to attack our tribe!" the Geoduck said.
Hearing that, Xu Que also became speechless.
Two elders at the Void Training Stage and a Patriarch at the Form Synthesis Stage?
Damn! I didn't expect the Geoduck Tribe to be so powerful!
However, this also supported Xu Que's previous assumptions. In the overseas area, there were very many formidable powerhouses, and the Five Elements Mountains would definitely be outnumbered.
For so many years, no cultivators in the Five Elements Mountain could reach the Void Training Stage, let alone the Form Synthesis Stage!
No wonder the Sea Tribe could look down upon the cultivators in the Five Elements Mountain after their arrival here.
"If you let me go, I'll forget about this and never trouble you in future." At this moment, the Geoduck made a promise.
Many people in the area began to waver.
After hearing there were elders in the Void Training Stage in the Sea Tribe, these people were already shocked. When they heard that there was a Patriarch in the Form Synthesis Stage, they were totally dumbfounded.
They had only heard of legendary powerhouses in the Form Synthesis Stage in rumors and never had a chance to see one with their eyes.
That formidable powerhouse might destroy the Five Nations with one move if he comes for revenge!
"Lord Li Bai, just… let him go, okay?" The General of the Imperial Guard couldn't help giving his suggestion. They didn't dare to provoke such a powerful enemy!
Even the people of the Mysterious Clan started to waver and worry.
The Geoduck was good at waiting for the right time. Seizing the opportunity, he said immediately, "Please be reassured. This time, I know there are numerous powerhouses in the Five Elements Mountain. After leaving here, I will never come back! I hereby take an oath with the Inner Demons!"
His words were quite weighty. His oath with the Inner Demons reassured many people.
People started to talk about this in low voices.
However, Xu Que could still hear what they were saying, which was nothing but freeing the Geoduck.
"I hereby take an oath! If you let me go, I will never step foot in the Five Elements Mountain!" the Geoduck made his promise with the Inner Demons.
People fixed their eyes on Xu Que instantly.
After all, the one in this area who would decide the life or death of the Geoduck was Xu Que.
"Lord Li Bai, this relates to the survival of all people in the Five Nations. Please stay calm!" the General of the Imperial Guard with an extremely sincere expression delivered a message to Xu Que cautiously.
Looking at Xu Que calmly, Madam Ya said softly, "Lord Li, it's up to you. I will support any decision you make!"
Su Ling'er also stepped out and said, "Lord Li, since Sun Wukong is not here, you can make the decision!"
"Okay!"
Xu Que nodded his head calmly.
However, his expression was quite odd. It seemed that he was quite calm, but he kept staring at the Geoduck with an imperceptible smile.
Many people started to worry. Is… he going to kill this Geoduck?
That will endanger all people in the Five Nations!
"Although I really want to kill him, I also know clearly that all of you wish for me to let him go, since this relates to the lives of numerous people in the Five Nations! So I agree to let it go for the sake of all people in this world!"
Hearing his words, all people were stunned.
What?
Does Lord Li agree?
My gosh! The sun has risen! Lord Li is so sensible and considerate to set the Geoduck free!
"We really appreciate your kindness, Lord Li Bai!"
"Lord Li Bai is so nice and cares about the common people in this world!"
Many people were touched and let out a sigh of relief, as if they had been revived.
Finally, being watched by many, the Geoduck stood up slowly and walked out of the Imperial Palace and the Imperial City.
However, people still fixed their eyes on Xu Que, for they were afraid that Xu Que would back out and kill the Geoduck suddenly.
"Hell, don't look at me like that! I'm different from other members of the Exploding Heavens Faction. I always keep my word. Since I've agreed to let him go, I will definitely set him free," Xu Que said justly and severely.
"Oh, Lord Li, don't get us wrong! We didn't mean that."
"Right! We totally trust Lord Li's personality!" people laughed embarrassedly.
However, none of them suspected that Xu Que had summoned his Thunder Illusion Body to follow the Geoduck stealthily.
…
At this moment, after leaving the Imperial City, the Geoduck took out a translucent pearl-like pill and threw it into his mouth, then changed into the appearance of a human being. However, his face was still very pale.
"Ha! Those stupid maggots! They've let me go at last!" he snorted and absorbed the pearl-like pill immediately, which helped him recover from his wounds slowly.
After that, he looked around warily, then started to dash away with a cold smile on his face.
When he was far away from the Imperial City, he started to shout without restraint to vent the grievance and anger in his heart.
"I took an oath with the Inner Demons that I will never step into the Five Elements Mountain, but I didn't say I wouldn't send people here. The Five Elements Mountain, I will turn it into the No Man's Mountain! When I go back to my tribe, I will definitely wash away my humiliation today with the blood of those people!"
Rumble!
Just at this moment, a bolt of lightning struck directly on him.
Bang!
The Geoduck had only recovered a little bit and could barely walk, so he couldn't evade the lightning at all. He was hit directly and fell to the ground heavily.
"Lightning out of the blue? What's going on? Who attacked me secretly?" With fresh blood on the corner of his mouth, the Geoduck stood up immediately and started to look around nervously.
"What a pity! Hello again." At this moment, a voice came in from behind the Geoduck.
"What?" The Geoduck changed its expression and turned around abruptly.
He saw a familiar face with a despicable smile appear behind him. It was Xu Que's Thunder Illusion Body taking the appearance of Li Bai.
All of a sudden, the Geoduck's expression became rigid, because his heart had been penetrated by a sharp sword, and his blood was dripping from the tip of the sword!
…
…
At the same time, Xu Que's real body, which was also under the appearance of Li Bai, was smiling slightly in a bedchamber that had been built temporarily.
The Thunder Illusion Body's action was controlled by his Soul Strength. Therefore, he knew everything about the death of the Geoduck.
As he had expected, the Geoduck had harbored resentment in his heart and planned to send people to avenge him when he made it back. Luckily, this trouble had been solved by his Thunder Illusion Body. The body of the Geoduck had even been thrown away to feed the wild dogs.
"Lord Li, why are you smiling?" At this moment, Xu Que heard a soft, tender, and attractive voice.
Xu Que came to himself and almost forgot he was sharing the bedroom with Madam Ya.
He reached an arm around Madam Ya's small waist and smiled, "I remembered I used to compose poems and couplets together with you in the moonlight, so I couldn't help smiling."
Madam Ya flushed immediately. With a bashful gaze, she said attractively, "I also miss those nights very much. I wonder whether Lord Li could stay here to compose poems and couplets with me tonight."
"Tonight, we will not compose poems. I want to teach you a Kung Fu move," Xu Que said with a smile.
Madam Ya was stunned a bit and asked, "What move does Lord Li want to teach me?"
"Of course, the legendary breast… no, Buddha's Palm!" Xu Que said with a smile. Meanwhile, his hands, which were filled with the energy of justice, were reaching out towards the big and soft bosom of Madam Ya.
"Oh, no…" After shouting in surprise, Madam Ya patted Xu Que attractively.
Soon, the bedchamber was filled with all kinds of gasps, tempting and evocative.

517 Hard-working Xu Que
Chapter 517: Hard-working Xu Que
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que and Madame Ya hadn't seen each other for so long and had finally met. The love between them had bloomed like a flower.
Xu Que had sex with Madame Ya the whole night.
Madame Ya was so satisfied, and so was Xu Que.
"Since you left, I always stood alone in the moonlight, missing you," Madame Ya complained.
Xu Que smiled and said, "I have good news and a bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
Madame Ya wasn't a stupid woman. She even guessed what Xu Que was going to say before he said anything.
She hugged Xu Que tightly with her smooth and pale arms and said gently, "Hero Li Bai, I only want to hear good news, only good news!"
What?
Ji Qiu Ya, please don't be like this. One always chooses to hear the bad news first…
Xu Que forced out a smile and said, "The good news is that I'll stay here for five more days."
He had been staying in the Fire Nation for almost half a month, and he would need five more days to set up some powerful Protection Arrays, then he had to go back to the Water Nation to meet the Water Empress.
After the battle with the Sea Tribe, Xu Que realised that the overseas cultivators were extremely powerful. He would have to make good use of his time to enhance his power.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to act tough when he went overseas.
"Five days…" Madame Ya, who was surrounded by Xu Que's arms murmured.
After a while, Madame asked in a low voice, "Hero Li Bai, take me with you! I want to be with you!"
Xu Que smiled and gently touched her head. "I am going to the other side of the sea, and it is a very dangerous place. I'll come back and pick you up when I establish my reputation there! I promise! Will you wait for me?"
"Yes!" Madame Ya nodded.
Whatever Xu Que said, Madame Ya would always agree with him, since she was in love with him.
"Hero Li Bai, I have a question, and I want to hear the answer for myself." Madame Ya suddenly raised up her head and looked at him.
She was being rather serious, but actually looked very cute.
Xu Que smiled. "You wanted to ask me if I am Li Bai or Xu Que, right?"
"Yes! You're smart indeed!" Madame Ya nodded.
"You aren't stupid either. Since you already know the answer, why are you bothering to ask me again? Yes, you're right, Li Bai and Xu Que are the same person."
"Ah…" Madame Ya sighed.
Xu Que did not understand why Madame Ya sighed. "What happened?"
Madame Ya put her head on his chest and said gently. "I recalled the time we first met! At that time, you were just a little child, pure and naive. How time flies. You've become a handsome and talented young gentleman!"
Xu Que was a bit embarrassed and touched his nose.
Madame Ya suddenly raised her head and smiled at Xu Que. "At that time, you weren't that tall yet, well, I would say you were at the height of my waist. Haha, you were so adorable!"
What's going on? Is she flirting with me?
Xu Que was a bit surprised and laughed.
All of a sudden, his hands seized Madame Ya's breasts.
"Ah…" Madame Ya tried to dodge but failed.
"You dare to call me a small child, I shall teach you a lesson today," Xu Que smiled.
"Hero Li Bai, you're so energetic! Please don't!"
"At least seven times!"
"..."
That night, Xu Que finally felt exhausted.
Even a cultivator like him couldn't have sex all day and all night.
Madame Ya kept begging Xu Que to stop, but when the foreplay started, she began to ask for more.
At last, Madame Ya fell asleep. Xu Que got off the bed and became a bit wobbly while walking.
"System, activate the automatic recovery ability!" Xu Que ordered.
"Ding! The automatic recovery ability has been activated. You have consumed one Acting Tough Point!" the notification sound of the System rang.
Immediately, Xu Que felt something warm running through his body and felt energetic again.
Brilliant!
He was very happy!
How nice this is! I can have as much sex as I want with the help of the System! This is wonderful news for any man.
Xu Que gently opened the door and left Madame Ya's room.
It was already very dark outside.
All the buildings that had been destroyed before had been rebuilt by the countless guards.
After all, every guard was able to use magic inscription, so it was very easy for them to carry heavy stuff. Besides, there was still a huge amount of money in Madame Ya's account, so building a new palace was never that difficult.
In fact, when Xu Que came to the Fire Nation, it was simply to set up a few magic arrays to protect the Fire Nation.
He had exchanged two magic arrays at the middle-level from the System and set them up in every corner of the palace. When completed, the entire palace was even harder to invade than the Great Change Sect.
After all, Xu Que had to make some preparations in case the Sea Tribe came here for revenge.
Besides that, Xu Que had made ten more God Powered Cannons and handed them to a few guards who stood by the city walls. He had also set up a middle-level magic array to protect the city walls.
A guard hurriedly came and knelt down on his one knee in front of a general.
"General, we've spotted some enemies who are currently ten miles away from us."
Xu Que had just finished setting up the magic array and frowned when he heard the news.
"Who they are?! How dare they intend to invade us at this moment?"
The guard was surprised to see Xu Que.
"Honourable Hero Li Bai, we have found a demonic beast that is ten miles away from us, we're guessing it might be a creature from the Sea Tribe."
"What?! The Sea Tribe has sent people here so soon?" Xu Que frowned.
The guard replied. "I haven't seen it clearly. It is moving rather slowly."
"I'll see who it is!"
Xu Que gathered the True Core Strength around his eyes, and although it was very dark out, he managed to see things that were ten miles away very clearly.
"What?! It's Buttface!"
Buttface was carrying a huge demonic beast that was few times bigger than itself and heading to the city slowly.
The demonic beast looked very peculiar; it was slippery, rather soft, and had endless tentacles.
Seeing this, Xu Que laughed. "Buttface is bringing me an enormous squid!"
Obviously, the squid was the man they had hunted down earlier before.
"Hero Li, shall we make preparations now?" a guard asked.
Xu Que shook his head. "There's no need to do so. It's Buttface, not an enemy."
Then Xu Que turned around and left.
Xu Que felt like it might be a bit dangerous to meet Buttface at this moment, since he had just ate an aphrodisiac yesterday.
Right at this moment, many people were hanging around the night market at the palace.
Xu Que was about to go back to sleep when he spotted two familiar figures walking in front of him.
They were Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi.
Xu Que took off his mask and showed his real face as he walked towards them.

518 Buttface Has Lost His Memory!
Chapter 518: Buttface Has Lost His Memory!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Wow! Look, sister, this looks so delicious!"
"These are sugar-coated berries!"
"I want to try them, I want to eat them!"
"Fine, let me buy some for you!"
…
Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi were strolling around the streets. However, their tails were so conspicuous that many passers-by on the street raised eyebrows at them.
However, news had spread in the Imperial City. Everyone knew the people of the Mysterious Clan had been brought there by Xu Que. Therefore, no one dared offend them.
Hence, the two girls were quite happy. After all, they had never had such close contact with human beings, and it was also the first time for them to see such bustling streets.
For them, many snacks and trinkets were extraordinary.
Su Xiaoqi had her wish fulfilled by buying sugar-coated berries. However, after taking a bite, she was not delighted anymore and said, her eyebrows furrowed, "It isn't as delicious as it looks. It's sweet, but it can't match the chocolate pills of that damned monkey!"
"Oh, I think I hear someone praising me," Xu Que stepped out from behind the two girls and said mischievously.
Hearing his voice, Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi turned around immediately.
Su Ling'er was delighted and said, "Sun… Xu Que, you're back!"
"Yes!" Xu Que nodded his head with a smile.
Su Xiaoqi pursed her lips and snorted, "Bad monkey… no, bad Xu Que, where did you go? Yesterday, we almost got killed!"
"Are you kidding? With the protection of the Exploding Heavens Faction, how could you get killed? I was informed of the things that happened yesterday. Because the God of Cookery was here, it was safe for me to be absent for several days," Xu Que said with a smile and continued to show off his acting skills.
"Who is that God of Cookery? He's very powerful!" Su Ling'er asked curiously.
Xu Que smiled and said, shaking his head, "He isn't very powerful. I could defeat him with only one hand!"
"Boo, you're boasting and I don't believe it. Bad Xu Que, just bring me some chocolate!" Su Xiaoqi pouted and reached out her little hand to Xu Que.
Squinting his eyes, Xu Que was about to say something.
At just this moment, a voice came from behind.
"Little brat, little brat, see what I bring back!" the raucous voice of Buttface came from across the street, which attracted the attention of numerous people.
Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi turned around, following the voice, then were shocked by what they saw.
Xu Que smiled ruefully. Without looking back, he knew clearly that people's attention must have been attracted by the big octopus Buttface had brought back.
However, he was quite puzzled since yesterday he had fed Buttface with aphrodisiac. According to Buttface's temperament, he must have been pissed off.
Unexpectedly, this time, Buttface had overlooked the issue and brought back an Ultimate Octopus delightedly. Something was definitely wrong!
"Little dog, did you kill the other person from the Sea Tribe?" looking at Buttface, Su Xiaoqi asked surprisedly.
Hearing that, Buttface widened his eyes and said angrily, "What's wrong with you, little fox? I've told you so many times that I'm a wolf, not a dog! Moreover, I really don't need to deal with just one person of the Sea Tribe personally!"
What?
Hearing his words, Xu Que asked in amazement, "Didn't you kill him?"
He couldn't believe it at all. Although this one was not as powerful as the Geoduck, it was at least more powerful than those mantis shrimps. If he hadn't been killed by Buttface, could anyone else in the Five Nations kill this big octopus?
Buttface shook his head and said, "I just fell asleep. When I woke up, I found the body of this Sea Tribe creature not far from me. I guess he was assassinated by someone else."
"Are you sure you didn't kill him?" Xu Que asked suspiciously.
Buttface said with absolute certainty, "Of course not! I would never kill such a weakling!"
Su Xiaoqi said immediately, "You're lying! You already killed one person from the Sea Tribe yesterday!"
"What?" Hearing her words, Buttface was greatly shocked and said in surprise, "How could that be possible? Didn't I leave first yesterday?"
Hearing that, Xu Que and the two girls were stunned.
What's wrong with Buttface?
Did he lose memory or is he playing the fool?
Many people had seen Buttface kill a person of the Sea Tribe with a kick yesterday. How could he deny it after only a day?
"Wait! Why are your reactions so weird? Did you do something to me? Just tell me the truth and maybe I can forgive you!" Buttface was anxious and doubtful and said this while staring at Xu Que and the two girls.
It seemed he was not playing the fool at all.
Xu Que was quite confused. He knew Buttface very well. As a dog who liked to be in the limelight, he would definitely take credit and show off for the two Sea Tribe people he had killed. He would never say he hadn't killed them.
"Could it be a side effect because of my overdosage?" Xu Que murmured confusedly.
Buttface had good ears, so he heard Xu Que's words. He came over immediately and asked, "Little brat, what do you mean? What the hell did you do to me?"
"Nothing, you just tell me what happened yesterday!" Xu Que patted Buttface's head and said with a smile.
Buttface suspiciously and warily said, "There's nothing to say! I didn't escape deliberately yesterday! I left to call in reinforcements! I didn't expect to feel drowsy on my way. Then I fell asleep until just now, and now I'm back!"
"That's all?" Xu Que asked.
"Of course! Did something big happen yesterday?" Buttface asked curiously.
Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi were quite surprised. Apparently, now they had also noticed something was wrong with Buttface. It seemed that Buttface had lost some memories and simply forgotten he had killed the Sea Tribe person!
Moreover, according to this circumstance, it seemed this octopus had also been killed by Buttface, but he didn't remember it.
"Okay, now I see. Well done, I'll treat you with a big feast tonight." Xu Que didn't make a detailed inquiry and just said this while patting Buttface's head.
Buttface's eyes were kindled immediately, and he asked in pleasant surprise, "What's on the menu?"
"Sesame oil, pig skin, Ultimate Octopus, and banana milk! Tell me, is that good?"
"Awesome…" Buttface was so delighted.
…
Finally, Xu Que sent Buttface away and asked him to bring the big octopus into the Imperial Palace. He headed for the Imperial Palace leisurely along with Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi.
When Buttface walked away, Su Xiaoqi couldn't help asking, "What's going on? Has he really lost his memories?"
"I don't think he was playing the fool!" Xu Que said, shaking his head.
If Buttface was playing the fool, Xu Que could figure it out easily. However, it seemed Buttface had really forgotten and lost those memories for good.
"It's so odd! Could it be that he was wounded when he fought with that Sea Tribe person? His wound could have caused his amnesia!" Su Ling'er guessed.
Xu Que shook his head, for that was absolutely impossible!
Buttface's physique was formidably strong. Even the Geoduck got a fracture after a direct collision with Buttface! How could he be wounded by an Ultimate Octopus?
"Maybe his amnesia was caused by the aphrodisiac." Xu Que concluded finally.
According to the current situation, this reason was the most plausible. After taking the aphrodisiac, Buttface went crazy. Then he fell asleep and lost the memories.
However, this could also be good news. At least Buttface wouldn't make trouble about it.

519 I Am Feeling a Bit…
Chapter 519: I Am Feeling a Bit…
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Soon, Xu Que went back to the palace along with Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi.
Seeing Xu Que, the guards instantly showed their respect to him. After all, they still remembered the scene of Xu Que killing the Fire Emperor.
Xu Que smiled at the guards and entered a bedroom together with Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi.
"I have set up a powerful magic array here in the palace. In the future, both the Demonic Beast and the Sea Tribe won't be able to get into the palace easily. You can live here with the rest of the members of the Mysterious Clan."
"How about you? Are you going to live here together with us?" Su Ling'er asked.
Xu Que smiled. "I'm going to leave here soon. I have to go to overseas to seek revenge."
"What?" Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi exclaimed together.
"You're going to leave?" Su Xiao Qi said unhappily.
Xu Que smiled. "So you don't want me to leave?"
"No, I'm just saying you have to leave some Chocolate Medicinal Items for us.
"..." Xu Que was speechless, and the smile on his face froze.
She only wants the Chocolate Medicinal Items. I thought she wanted me to stay here.
Su Ling'er was silent for a while, then she asked gently, "When will you come back?"
"I'm not sure. But when I come back again, I'll take both of you to the other side of the sea. As the Sea Tribe has said, there isn't much Spiritual Qi here, thus it would take much longer for you to cultivate. The world on the other side of the sea is the best place for you." Xu Que shook his head. In fact, he himself had no idea when he would come back.
Xu Que wasn't sure if he would still be able to act tough when he arrived there, since there were many powerful men on the other side of the sea. But he was determined that he would try everything he could to act tough, since in his view, a life without acting tough was only the life of a person who didn't want to do anything nor move.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Su Ling'er thought for a while and asked. She was afraid that Xu Que would feel lonely when he arrived there.
"You have to be here. The Mysterious Clan needs you here. I promise when I come back, I will take you two to a bigger world where you can really enhance yourselves!" Xu Que said confidently.
In fact, Xu Que had originally meant to ask Su Ling'er to go overseas with him, but he had already given up the idea of taking Su Ling'er to the other side of the sea.
When he was in the Great Change Sect, he had asked Su Yun Lan if she would like to go overseas with him. However, since Sun Yun Lan had promised her father and grandfather she would establish the Great Change Sect as influential, she could not leave.
The cultivators on the other side of the sea were much much powerful than he thought. If Xu Que took Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi there, he might not be able to keep them safe.
Besides, he meant to find Duan Jiu De to get the two herbs and teach a lesson to the Jiang Family, as well as find out what had happened between them and the Water Empress. He wanted to figure out why people said the Water Empress was misfortunate.
At last, Su Ling'er promised Xu Que that she would stay there to protect the Mysterious Clan.
As for Su Xiao Qi, she was thinking of nothing but chocolate. "Xu Que, please make some Medicinal Items now, hurry up! I am feeling rather sleepy."
"Xiao Qi, don't talk to Xu Que in this way." Su Ling'er gently patted Su Xiao Qi on the head and turned to Xu Que. "It's quite late now, so you should go to sleep. I'll see you off on the day you leave."
"Yes, you are right. I should go to sleep now. But…" Xu Que nodded.
"But?" Su Ling'er was in a daze.
Xu Que smiled. "I hate sleeping alone in the dark…"
Hearing this, Su Ling'er quickly blushed.
While Su Xiao Qi mocked them, "Xu Que, you are such a coward."
"I am not a coward, I am simply afraid of being alone." Xu Que shook his head and began to sing, "I am mostly afraid when people suddenly stop talking; I am mostly afraid of friends' departures; I am mostly afraid of the melancholy moment when all the memories begin to flash in my mind, it is just very sad and my heart aches…
"You know what, I am a man with lots of experience. Once I'm alone, all those bad memories rise up and my heart aches, so I hate sleeping alone at night," Xu Que defended himself.
Su Ling'er was blushing heavily. She never believed Xu Que's defense, since she knew exactly what Xu Que really meant.
However, Su Xiao Qi bought his words and began to comfort Xu Que. "Xu Que, don't be afraid. If you treat me with some Medicinal Items, I can be your company tonight."
"What?!" Xu Que was surprised.
"Xiao Qi, are you insane? Do you have any idea what you're saying?!" Su Ling'er became rather serious and criticized her.
"Quite right! You have no idea what you're saying!" Xu Que nodded.
If I treated you some Medicinal Items, you would accompany me at night? I don't believe it. What if you break your promise after I give you some Medicinal Items?
"What have I done wrong?" Su Xiao Qi felt rather confused.
Su Ling'er was still blushing and didn't say anything. She just stared at Xu Que.
See what you've done, are you satisfied now?
Xu Que put on a rather serious face and pretended not to have seen Su Ling'er.
Obviously, Xu Que was much more shameless than Su Ling'er and would never blush whenever he told any dirty jokes.
Su Ling'er couldn't do anything to punish Xu Que. She just randomly said something and sent Su Xiao Qi to bed.
Su Xiao Qi then went to bed rather unhappily, while Xu Que still sat in her chair.
Since Su Xiao Qi and Su Ling'er were sharing a room, Su Ling'er didn't dare to play any dirty games with Xu Que.
Xu Que smiled. "Ling'er, it's quite late now. If I go back to my own room, I will most certainly disturb the others. Why not just stay here? Don't worry, I'll just sleep on the floor and not cause any trouble."
"What?" Su Ling'er was shocked.
She knew what Xu Que was like, so she didn't believe a word he said.
Sleeping on the floor? Judging from your previous performance, I am quite sure that you would secretly climb into my bed at midnight!
Thinking this, Su Ling'er was feeling rather anxious.
Yes, she did indeed like Xu Que, but she wasn't prepared to have sex with him, especially with Su Xiao Qi present.
If it weren't for the fact that Xu Que was going to leave in just a few days, she would definitely refuse his request. But now, she wasn't sure if she really wanted to refuse him or not.
Suddenly, Su Ling'er raised her head. "How… how about some other time?"
What? Some other time?
Xu Que could not believe his ears!
She is being too direct, and I am rather embarrassed by this.

520 A Man of Honor
Chapter 520: A Man of Honor
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Ling'er had always been a conservative woman.
She plucked up the courage to say, "How about some other time?"
However, Xu Que's understanding of her words was totally different. After all, the Chinese culture was very profound. As an "old driver," Xu Que's head was filled with adult contents.
Luckily, Su Ling'er didn't smell a rat. She plucked up the courage to tell Xu Que they could have sex another day, which meant she had at least accepted it mentally, she just couldn't do it now.
Xu Que was delighted for a while. Actually, he knew clearly that he couldn't have sex with Su Ling'er now. The "some other time" Su Ling'er had referred to simply meant another day, which was different from the filthy meaning in his mind.
Finally, he stood up embarrassedly and was about to leave. Suddenly, he thought of something, then took out a pill from the System package, "By the way, Ling'er, this pill is for you. It will be very helpful for your future cultivation!"
Seeing it, Su Ling'er was emotionally moved and said in amazement, "Is… this the Eight Star Ice Jade Pill?"
"Wow, you know this pill?" Xu Que was also shocked.
When he was in the Metal Nation, the gorgeous Empress Dowager had asked him to bring her an Ice Jade Pill from the Imperial Tomb of the Water Nation.
Xu Que had found three Ice Jade Pills, and he always took these pills with him.
A miraculous pill, it could refine a cultivator's Spiritual Root. Most probably, it could even evolve the Spiritual Root into the Celestial Spiritual Root, which was more powerful than the coffees and ice creams made by Xu Que!
However, only female cultivators at the Infant Transformation Stage, who were also virgins, could take this pill.
Therefore, Madam Ya and Su Yunlan couldn't take the pill, for they couldn't meet both of the requirements.
Now, only Su Ling'er and the Water Empress were qualified. Both of them were virgins and had reached the Infant Transformation Stage. However, the Water Empress had taken pills like this before, so only Su Ling'er could take this pill now.
Su Ling'er took the pill and had a close look at it, then nodded her head and said, "Right, it is indeed the Ice Jade Pill. I knew of it from some ancient books of our clan. However, I remember this pill failed to be handed down from the past generations of the Five Nations. Where did you find it?"
"In the Imperial Tomb of the Water Nation," Xu Que replied with a smile.
It was unlikely for a precious pill like the Ice Jade Pill to appear in the Five Nations. According to Xu Que's knowledge, the Water Empress and the previous Emperors of the Water Nation had come from overseas. Therefore, it was normal that the Ice Jade Pills could be found in the Imperial Tomb, which might have been taken to the Water Nation from overseas.
But Xu Que also wanted to know how the Empress Dowager of the Metal Nation had known there were Ice Jade Pills in the Imperial Tomb of the Water Nation.
He couldn't figure it out, and he also didn't want to think about it, for he didn't plan to take one of these pills back to the Metal Nation!
Su Ling'er was quite happy and kept watching the Ice Jade Pill closely. She was reluctant to eat this pill, instead just taking care of it scrupulously.
Xu Que couldn't watch it anymore and said with a rueful smile, "Stop looking at it, just eat it. If it isn't enough, come and get more from me!"
"I want to keep the gift you gave me! If I can't keep it, I just want to watch it a little bit longer," Su Ling'er smiled slightly. Now Su Xiaoqi was fast asleep, so Su Ling'er wasn't that reserved anymore.
Xu Que would never tolerate a girl's teasing at midnight.
Immediately, he waved his hand and grabbed the pill in Su Ling'er's hand, then put the pill into her mouth.
The next moment, before Su Ling'er had time to react, Xu Que leaned forward and sealed Su Ling'er's mouth directly with his lips.
"Hmm!"
Widening her eyes, Su Ling'er was surprised and shy.
At this moment, the Ice Jade Pill in her mouth melted instantly and turned into a cold current, which gushed into her body abruptly.
The scene was extremely beautiful. However, Su Ling'er was already completely panic-stricken.
Her panic hadn't been caused by Xu Que's actions. The reason was that the absorption process was initiated when the pill went into her body,
During the absorption process, if Xu Que continued his actions or did something that was even more reckless, Su Ling'er could never absorb the pill with a concentrated mind.
And this would result in unpredictable consequences, ranging from meridian damage caused by uncontrollable effects to devils occupying the cultivator's mind, which was very dangerous!
"Don't be afraid, just focus on absorbing the pill!"
Xu Que stepped back in time.
He kissed Su Ling'er like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water, and he didn't plan any further actions, for it wasn't the right time.
Su Ling'er let out a sigh of relief and nodded with a red face.
At this moment, Xu Que walked to the window and found a good position so that a strand of moonlight could fall on his forehead.
He lit up a cigarette and took a long pull from it, then blew the smoke out and looked at Su Ling'er with a provocative smile. "Affection leads to unfettered behavior, but love needs restraint. Ling'er, I restrained myself!"
After finishing his words, he turned around and left.
In the moonlight, his lengthening shadow was cast on the ground and vanished when he walked away.
Su Ling'er was shocked. Xu Que's words, "Affection leads to unfettered behavior, but love needs restraint," were resounding in her mind, and her face was even more flushed.
An aggressive rogue wasn't terrifying, but a cultured rogue was too awful!
Apparently, Xu Que's skills in teasing girls were extraordinary!
After kissing the girl and acting tough, he had even left an impression of "a man of honor" on the girl.
I just want to know who else could be as magnificent as me! After leaving Su Ling'er's room, Xu Que was extremely pompous. Even his steps were more majestic than before!
After a short while, he arrived at the bedroom of Madam Ya.
Although night had fallen, Madam Ya had already woken up. Seeing Xu Que's arrival, she wanted to sit up immediately.
However, she felt her lower body fill with the sense of swelling and pain immediately.
After all, their "vigorous activity" had lasted for the whole night before and all of that day. Even Madam Ya, who had reached the Original Infant Stage, was unable to stand it.
"Don't get up, just lay down!" Xu Que stepped up and supported Madam Ya back to her bed.
"Lord Li, I'm okay!" Grasping Xu Que's hands firmly, Madam Ya looked at him with her longing eyes and didn't let go.
Xu Que smiled and said, "You are not okay! You need a good rest."
Madam Ya was stunned a bit, then she lowered her head slightly and said, "Do you dislike me?"
"Of course not!" Xu Que replied immediately.
"Then why don't you…" Madam Ya paused. Her hope that Xu Que would dominate her and satisfy her to her heart's content was quite clear. However, Xu Que stopped.
Xu Que stood up silently and walked to a window letting in moonlight, then he said with deep feeling, "Affection leads to unfettered behavior, but love needs restraint! You should have a good rest now. How could I care only for myself?"
Madam Ya shivered a bit and said with emotion, "Lord Li, you are so nice!"

521 Heading to the Water Nation
Chapter 521: Heading to the Water Nation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Soon, the day of Xu Que's departure arrived.
In the days leading up to it, Xu Que had lived a quite happy life, reading poems and writing couplets with Madame Ya.
Whenever Xu Que had time, he would bring hamburgers, ice cream, and coffee to nourish Madame Ya's and Su Xiao Qi's bodies so that the two could become more powerful.
As for Su Ling'er, in the few days since she had taken the Ice Jade Pill, she had been cultivating in her room alone.
Xu Que was becoming a bit impatient and worried about Su Ling'er.
Until the day Xu Que was set to leave, her cultivation was still not over. Su Ling'er was now going through a critical moment for her Spiritual Root.
Later, Xu Que was told that it took at least a month, three to four months at most, for one to "digest" a Ice Jade Pill.
If I had known this earlier, I would have given the Ice Jade Pill to Su Ling'er a long time ago… and the "some other day" she talked about, well, it seems that I can't wait for that day now.
"What a terribly, terribly sad story…" Xu Que stood outside the door of the palace and sang.
He had already packed and was going to leave.
Su Xiao Qi and Madame Ya had come to see him off, but Buttface wanted to go overseas with Xu Que, so he stole some food from the kitchen and put the food into a bag.
To make things less awkward, Xu Que summoned his thunder illusion body of Hero Li Bai, and he himself changed into the form of Sun Wu Kong.
Su Xiao Qi and Madame Ya were feeling rather sad.
"You dead monkey, once you finish your business, come back! You must come back before the chocolate you gave me runs out!" Su Xiao Qi said.
"Hero Li Bai, I will wait for you until the day you come back." Madame Ya's eyes were watering.
Xu Que and Buttface jumped up and got into the teleportation array.
"Goodbye! Wait for me!"
The teleportation array was rotating rather quickly…
Bang!
Xu Que, Buttface, and Hero Li Bai all disappeared.
…
Xu Que and Buttface thought they had only spent about half an hour in the teleportation array, but when they arrived at the Water Nation, they found that it had already been two days.
Buttface hurriedly opened his bag and began to devour the food inside.
Seeing this, Xu Que shook his head and said, "If I were you, I would never eat that pile of crap. You always surprise me!"
"F*ck you! You know what, I brought a huge octopus to the kitchen and intended to ask you to cook it for me. I waited and waited until it began to rot, so it's all your fault. You've indulged yourself with wine and sex for too long!"
Hearing this, Xu Que felt a bit embarrassed. During his time in the Fire Nation, he had been staying with Madame Ya constantly and hadn't had the time to cook for Buttface.
Even so, he didn't want Buttface to call him out on this business.
"Oh, really?! You think this is my fault?! Seafood usually rots rather quickly, you have to keep it in an environment with low temperature. Or you can lay it in the sun and dry it, then roast it if you like."
"Really? Why don't you tell me earlier?"
"Have I ever lied to you before? Go to the bottom of the sea and kill all of the Sea Tribe, then bring me some seafood, and I will cook it for you."
"Never mind. I'm on a diet these days, besides, I'm not a foodie!"
Hearing Xu Que suggest he destroy the entire Sea Tribe, Buttface was a bit afraid and immediately made an excuse.
…
They were now on the border between the Water Nation and the Golden Nation. In front of them was a wild and barren land.
Xu Que had been on this road before, but he was still a bit shocked by the scene in front of him.
On the left, it was a land of ice, while on the other side, the mountains were still green, and the river was babbling.
"If I'm right, this is the region of the Snow City. What, are you going to see your old beau?" Buttface asked.
"Old beau? What on earth are you saying?" Xu Que was confused.
"That female General, Situ… Situ Hai Dai!" Buttface said.
"Nonsense! Her name is Situ Hai Tang! Anyway, I haven't seen her in a while, since the last time I was in the Imperial City."
"She's such a marvelous person and a real General on the battlefield. As for you, you're just a juvenile man who calls himself the head of the Exploding Heavens Faction and cheats people wherever he goes. In a word, she's too good for you."
Hearing this, Xu Que was a bit cross and hit Buttface on the head.
Buttface quickly dodged his hit and backed off, thirty feet away. "Young man, I can recall all the magic inscriptions I have ever used in my previous life. You could not possibly hit me."
"Really?! You can recall what happened in your previous life?" Xu Que was surprised.
"Of course! I'm famous for my perfect memory!" Buttface said proudly.
Xu Que forced out a smile.
You say you're famous for your perfect memory? For god's sake, if you have a good memory, how could you forget that I drugged you with an aphrodisiac?
…
Xu Que and Buttface were heading to the Snow City. Xu Que wanted to pay a visit to Situ Hai Tang, as well as the Imperial City.
During the journey, Xu Que tried to find out if Buttface really had a so-called perfect memory of his previous life, but at last, he found that Buttface recalled only one magic inscription he ever used, nothing more.
Finally, they arrived at the Snow City.
It was snowing, and the sun was shining. Against the sunlight, the snowflakes looked extremely beautiful and sparkly. The entire Snow City looked as beautiful as a picture.
At that time, the Snow City was bustling and full of people, just as it was before.
Xu Que and Buttface arrived at the city gates.
"Stop! No demonic beasts are allowed to enter the city."
…
"What?" both Xu Que and Buttface were stunned.
The two turned around and saw a young man wearing armor standing at the city walls.
Beside him there were many soldiers standing around the young man, and Xu Que knew none of them.
"What happened? Where's that female General?" Buttface was surprised.
Xu Que frowned.
The Snow City looked just like it had before, but the General who guarded the city walls and all the other soldiers of the Snow City had all been replaced.
What on earth happened?

522 Am I Good Enough to Live Up to Her?
Chapter 522: Am I Good Enough to Live Up to Her?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Hey, I'm talking to you! Demonic beasts are not allowed to enter the city! If you don't leave, I'll show you no mercy!" the man at the city walls shouted again.
Buttface immediately became angry and started to curse, putting his paws on his hips, "Behave yourself! Are you blind? I'm a holy beast! If you don't believe me, you can come down and I'll trample you to death with one stomp!"
The young man at the city walls said sullenly, "How dare you! Do you want to start a war with the Snow City?"
"Shut the f*ck up! Don't waste my time! Who are you? Where is Situ Hai Tang?" Xu Que waved his hands as he asked.
The young man's eyes became chilly immediately, then he snorted, "Who the hell are you? How dare you call my wife's name so casually?"
Wife?
Xu Que and Buttface were dumbfounded again.
What's going on?
We just left for a short period. How could Situ Hai Tang be married?
Sh*t! This is totally unacceptable!
Although Situ Hai Tang is a tomboy, she's a beautiful girl with a good figure. Most importantly, she's a tomboy with a strong personality. She's a girl I used to flirt with, how could she be taken away so carelessly?
Xu Que furrowed his eyebrows, and his face was darkened immediately.
Anyway, the young man was too arrogant. If these words had been spoken in a nicer way, Xu Que would have sighed with regret at most, not gotten angry.
However, this young guy's impudent words really annoyed Xu Que. If Situ Hai Tang had married a man like him, Xu Que would definitely be unhappy. How could he have been defeated by a man like that?
"Little brat, it's over. Your old lover got married," Buttface said, looking at Xu Que helplessly.
Buttface's hoarse but loud voice was heard by everyone near the city walls.
The soldiers changed their expressions. The young man was even angrier and shouted, "Behave yourself! How dare you discredit my wife! This is a felony! Soldiers, take the two of them down!"
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, a group of soldiers rushed over from the city walls and surrounded Xu Que and Buttface!
Many cultivators passing by the area stepped back immediately and prepared to watch the fun.
The common people and cultivators in the city were also attracted by what was happening in this area.
A lot of people looked out at them, and someone recognized Xu Que immediately, shouting in surprise, "My gosh! Is that General Zhuge? Look, General Zhuge is back!"
His words astonished many people. These people gushed out of the city.
The soldiers who were surrounding Xu Que and Buttface were shouldered aside by the crowds immediately.
The young man at the city walls and his soldiers were shocked.
"Is he the legendary God of Army General Zhuge? How could this be possible?"
"Sh*t! The rumors are nonsense! General Zhuge looks like a scholar, totally different from the big devil we've heard about!"
"Exactly!"
Many soldiers on the city wall started to discuss this in a low voice.
Just at this moment, another group of excited soldiers came out of the city.
"General Zhuge!"
"It really is General Zhuge! Finally, you came back to see us!"
"General Zhuge, I'm Li, do you still remember me?"
"And me! General Zhuge! I'm Lu Benwei!"
These overexcited soldiers came up to Xu Que.
Looking at these familiar faces, Xu Que smiled. Apparently, these were the Snow City soldiers who had used to fight side by side with him.
"General Shang, this is General Zhuge. And the dog beside him is his pet. We are in debt to them!" a Snow City soldier looked up and said to the young man at this moment.
The young man's face was extremely dreadful and gloomy.
However, before the young man had time to speak, Buttface lost his temper.
"Damn! Li, you're really bad at talking! I am a wolf, not a pet!" Buttface shouted.
"Stop wasting words! Let's go into the city first!" Xu Que patted Buttface's head and stopped him from making trouble.
Then they went into the Snow City with the soldiers.
On the way, many common people and Snow City soldiers came to show their reverence. Little girls presented bouquets to Xu Que, and some old people gave eggs to Xu Que as gifts. The scene was so heart-warming that Xu Que almost wanted to say "Thank you for your eggs, thank you for your bouquets…"
However, the young man at the city walls became more and more jealous.
After being appointed as the Garrison General of the Snow City, he had never enjoyed such reverence from the residents of the city. When he learned this gentle and handsome young man was the legendary General Zhuge, he could do nothing and didn't dare to challenge Xu Que anymore.
Finally, Xu Que walked into the Snow City along with several of his soldier acquaintances, then they went into a hotel and sat down.
The soldiers wanted to drink tea and exchange conventional greetings with Xu Que. However, Xu Que was quite impatient and said directly, "Let's get down to business first. Where is your General Situ? I haven't seen her for a few months, how could she have gotten married?"
The soldiers were stunned, and their smiles also froze slightly.
"What? Something happened during this time?" Seeing the expression of the soldiers, Xu Que couldn't help frowning.
The soldier whose family name was Li said with a rueful smile, "General Zhuge, actually this issue is a bit complicated. The name of that General Shang is Shang Wu, and he's the only son of the Sect Leader of the Scarlet Yang Sect. The Sect Leader and General Situ's father used to be fellow apprentices of the same master. Before General Situ was born, she was betrothed to General Shang through a prenatal betrothal."
"My God! This is so contrived!" Xu Que was instantly confused. He had thought the young man was the third person. It turned out that he was the third person!
"Alas! You and General Situ defended the Snow City and took back the Water Nation successfully. Therefore, General Situ was awarded by Her Royal Highness the Water Empress according to her contribution. She was promoted officially as the City Governor. Someone was assigned to take over the position of Garrison General. That General Shang managed to get this position by using his connections. However, General Situ has an aversion to this betrothal, but she also didn't want to disobey the command of Her Royal Highness. Therefore, she's been working outside for a long time and seldom comes back," Li said.
Hearing that, the fire in Xu Que's eyes was rekindled. "Then they're still not married now, right?"
"Of course not! I suppose this marriage couldn't be realized because of General Situ's personality!" Li said while shaking his head.
Xu Que smiled immediately. The third person is not guilty! The third person can also pursue love! Since Situ Hai Tang wasn't interested in that General Shang, there's still a chance for me!
At this moment, Buttface came over and said seriously, "Little brat, to be fair, you couldn't live up to Situ Hai Tang! However, that Shang Wu is even worse than you! You have to deal with this issue!"
"Sh*t! How dare you say that's fair! Stop talking nonsense!" Xu Que said angrily, hitting the table.
"No, you can't say that!" the soldiers nodded. What Buttface had said was extremely outrageous.
Although the soldiers also agreed General Shang couldn't live up to Situ Hai Tang, at least they had a betrothal. If General Zhuge intervened in this issue, it was no different from stealing someone's wife!
The next moment, Xu Que continued to say, "Buttface, you're really too much this time! You're correct that Shang Wu can't live up to Situ Hai Tang, but you said I can't live up to her, which is bullsh*t! Just tell me honestly, am I good enough to live up to Situ Hai Tang?"

523 What on Earth was This?
Chapter 523: What on Earth was This?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing this, everyone in the Snow City inn was stunned.
He asked us if he was Mr. Right for Situ Hai Tang? He just said that in front of everyone like this?! Is he insane?
No one thought Xu Que would say something like this in front of everyone, since once he said it, he could never take it back.
…
Someone in the inn could no longer bear this and was about to leave.
A cultivator who Xu Que had never seen before quickly headed to the city walls and told Shang Wu what Xu Que had just said.
After hearing what Xu Que had said, Shang Wu was furious.
"B*stard! He thinks he can do anything he wants simply because he's the General Zhuge?!" Shang Wu shouted.
Seeing Shang Wu getting cross, a soldier said gently, "Please don't be mad. General Zhuge has a reputation both inside and outside the city. I don't think he would really take Situ Hai Tang away from you, otherwise, his reputation would surely be damaged."
Shang Wu was still very angry. "Go f*ck yourself! Who does he think who he is! Really! He just won a few battles, so what?! Anyone in the Scarlet Yang Sect is as powerful as ten Zhuges put together! He'll pay the price for what he said, or even lose his life!"
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
There's really no need to say such harsh things. General Zhuge was only joking. Don't you think you might be overreacting to this business?
Everyone, as well as the soldier who had just tried to comfort Shang Wu, felt like Shang Wu was a bit narrow-minded.
Shang Wu didn't care about others' opinions of him and sneered, "I'll see if he ever gets the balls to say such a thing in front of me! Come with me."
He then walked away from the city walls and headed to the inn where Xu Que was staying with a group of soldiers.
…
Meanwhile, in the inn, people were embarrassed by what Xu Que had said.
Lao Li forced out a smile. "General Zhuge, you're still the same old guy who likes to tell jokes."
He had meant to make a joke out of this business, in case Xu Que got himself into trouble when people outside the inn heard about what he had said.
Xu Que said with a serious face, "Lao Li, I have always been kind to you, haven't I? I gave you two popsicles, do you remember? Tell me, do you think I am good enough for Situ Hai Tang or not?"
Hearing this, Lao Li was shocked.
General Zhuge, don't you know I was trying to cover for you?! You are really....
"Of course! Of course!" Lao Li had no choice but to yield.
Xu Que looked at Buttface and sneered. "See? Even Lao Li said I'm good enough for Situ Hai Tang."
Buttfcace became cross. "You are too shameless! And by the way, you gave him two popsicles and you only gave me one?!"
"I was already being extremely kind to you by giving you one popsicle!" Xu Que spat on Buttface and cursed.
"F*ck you! How dare you spit on me?!"
Buttface was furious and also spat. "Sh*t! Never mind. Ice cream tastes much better than popsicles!"
Xu Que sneered, "The ice cream was also made by me, did you already forget that?"
Buttface spat again.
Xu Que managed to dodge and spit on him again.
"How dare you?! Ewww… this is really disgusting!"
"Yes! I have the balls to spit on you! So what!"
…
Xu Que and Buttface began to spit on each other. They were moving rather quickly and trying to dodge each other's saliva.
Seeing this, everyone present was shocked and hurriedly left the inn.
Is he really the General Zhuge I know?!
Right at this moment, someone was shouting on the street.
"Get out of my way!"
Shang Wu came to the inn with a bunch of soldiers and ordered people to leave.
Upon seeing Shang Wu coming, they immediately cleared a path for him.
Shang Wu had no idea what was happening inside the inn. He glanced at people coldly and strode towards the inn.
While he was walking inside, he heard strange sounds. He hurried and opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, a sticky liquid fell right onto his face.
Everyone was stunned.
Shang Wu, in particular, stood still and let the saliva slowly drop down his face.
He slowly touched his face, and his voice trembled. "What… what is this on my face?"
Seeing Shang Wu touching either Xu Que's or Buttface's saliva, people felt sick and covered their mouths with their hands.
"It's Buttface's saliva," Xu Que said.
Hearing this, Buttface was angry. "Nonsense! It's yours, not mine!"
"It's clearly yours!"
"You're being ridiculous!"
The next moment, the spitting competition started again.
Finally, Shang Wu realised the sticky liquid on his face was someone's saliva.
"F*ck!" Shang Wu could no longer suppress his anger and shouted loudly.
The son of the head of the Scarlet Yang Sect, the General of the Snow City who guarded the city walls, had someone's saliva on his face.
This was indeed mortifying…
Shang Wu wiped away the saliva and dashed into the room.
Buttface and Xu Que were still spitting on each other, their saliva splashing everywhere.
When Shang Wu got into the room, Buttface was trying to dodge Xu Que's saliva and stopped right in front of him.
Shang Wu quickly caught Buttface by the neck.
"Ouch! Who is this?!" Buttface shouted. He was in such a great pain that his eyeballs were almost falling out.
"How dare you!" Shang Wu seized him by his throat and shouted in great anger.
"Who are you?! We're so close to each other, yet I can barely see your face."
Buttface's head was very close to Shang Wu's face, so he couldn't see Shang Wu's face clearly.
Shang Wu felt humiliated and became even more angry.
"You really have no idea who I am?! You…"
Before Shang Wu finished his words, Buttface spat on his face…
All of a sudden, everyone present was stunned, and no one made a sound.

524 Man Must be Magnanimous!
Chapter 524: Man Must be Magnanimous!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
All the people were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected that when Buttface saw Shang Wu, he could spit on his face without hesitation.
Buttface's behavior had totally surprised everyone.
Why does this dog hate Shang Wu so much? Why is his behavior so disgusting?
Even Shang Wu was also completely stunned, his mind blank.
The thick phlegm, which was yellow, sticky, and foul, was dribbling down slowly.
In his mind, there was only one thought left.
How dare… this dog… insult me like this?
"Don't be afraid, General Shang, let me help you!"
At this moment, Xu Que came up like a majestic savior.
People let out sighs of relief. Finally, General Zhuge shows up to stop this farce!
Splat!
However, a mouthful of saliva that Xu Que had been saving in his mouth for a while was spat out abruptly.
No one knew whether Xu Que had done this deliberately. Patter! His saliva also landed on Shang Wu's face!
All of a sudden, people were more dumbfounded and speechless!
Shang Wu was even more confused!
What's… going on?
Am I dreaming?
How could the two of them spit on me one after another?
…
"Oh, sorry, I missed! It doesn't matter, my saliva can be used to erase the stink of Buttface's saliva!" Xu Que said earnestly.
Hearing that, people showed the whites of their eyes and felt nearly ready to faint.
You wanted to erase the stink of Buttface's saliva with your own saliva?
Sh*t! You really are creative!
At this moment, Buttface widened his eyes and shouted, "Damn! Little brat, how could you betray me? Okay, let's fight!" Splat!
Patter!
Another mouthful of saliva dropped on Shang Wu's head and wet his hair immediately.
People were entirely stunned!
What are you doing?
Is this dog going to fight General Zhuge? Why is he spitting on General Shang's head?
"Heh heh, see that? I have more saliva than you! If you aren't a coward, just fight me!" Buttface laughed proudly. Being grabbed by Shang Wu, Buttface kept provoking Xu Que, which was funny.
Hearing his words, people couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths and become speechless!
Is he going to compete with General Zhuge about volume of saliva?
If you really want to compete with General Zhuge, it's unnecessary to spit on his head!
"What? You really think you're awesome, right?" Xu Que smiled coldly at this moment, then gathered Qi into his Dantian and opened his mouth abruptly. Splat!
Whoosh!
Soon, a mouthful of saliva gushed out and dropped on Shang Wu's head again at lightning speed.
"Boo, it's just so-so. Taste the new move I just mastered—Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Spit!" Splat! Buttface spat again disdainfully while waving his paws majestically.
Xu Que fought back immediately, "Trash, taste my 'Eighteen Ways of Spitting the Dragon!'" Splat!
"Useless! I'll use the Invincible Thunderbolt Spit!" Splat!
"That's nothing! Let me show you a snakeskin move together with the Zhang Sanfeng Monk Taichi Chuan Taichi Sword Popeye Pikachu Digimon Fat Basilisk Invincible Spit!" Splat!
Splat!
Splat!
…
In this way, the two of them kept spitting on Shang Wu!
After a short while, Shang Wu was wet from head to toe. Like a drenched chicken coming out of water, he stood there dumbfoundedly.
The audience didn't know what to do and didn't dare to stop them.
One side was General Shang, and the other side was General Zhuge and his dog! They couldn't afford to offend anyone on either side!
Shang Wu could never accept this circumstance.
As the mighty Garrison General of the Snow City and the only son of the Scarlet Yang Sect's Sect Leader, he was always respected wherever he went. He had never been humiliated like this before!
However, the humiliation which he had never experienced and expected had just happened! Therefore, he was totally stunned and came to himself after he was drenched by the saliva of Xu Que and Buttface.
His body was filled with maddening rage, and his head was about to explode.
"Just stop!" Shang Wu howled crazily, then started to grab Buttface's neck forcibly.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! It hurts!"
Buttface started to howl abruptly and shouted, "Damn! Stop the fight! I hereby request for armistice!"
"Hey, General Shang, how are you totally wet? Go home and change your clothes to avoid catching a cold!" Xu Que stopped and said with a smile, looking at Shang Wu attentively.
Everyone was dumbfounded and speechless.
Please stop your false displays of affection, okay?
Haven't General Shang's clothes been drenched by the saliva of you and your dog? How could you advise him to avoid catching a cold?
"Fine, very good! Zhuge Liang, this hostility is decided today!" Shang Wu was shivering in anger. He stared at Xu Que ferociously, as if he would skin Xu Que alive.
"Come on, men must be chivalrous!" Xu Que consoled him without any sincerity.
His attitude annoyed Shang Wu so much that he almost spat blood.
Shang Wu lifted Buttface with one hand and abruptly punched Buttface's forehead with the other hand.
Bang!
With a dull sound, Buttface received the blow.
At the same time, everyone in this area heard a sharp cracking sound. Crack! Then Shang Wu went quite pale and let out a loud and miserable shriek, "Ah…"
Gasp!
Everyone gasped and were dumbfounded immediately.
The bone of Shang Wu's entire arm was fractured. A section of white bone was even exposed at his elbow, which was terrifying to see.
"Ow…"
Buttface fell on the ground, then howled miserably and started to play dead.
Xu Que widened his eyes and rushed over immediately. He held Buttface in his arms and shouted, "Wang Cai, Wang Cai, what's wrong with you, Wang Cai?"
Buttface was stunned, then opened his eyes and looked at Xu Que confusedly.
Xu Que covered Buttface's eyes with his hands immediately. Tears started to drop from his eyes. He cried, "Wang Cai, you can't die! We've stuck together and helped each other for so long! You're too young, please don't die!"
Splat!
All at once, Shang Wu felt a cramping pain in his chest, then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. It was apparent that he was totally annoyed.
Everyone in this area was speechless again. Today, they had realized how shameless people could be!
All of them clearly saw that Shang Wu was wounded. After being punched by Shang Wu, Buttface was unscratched. Just then, he opened his eyes and was about to talk, but was stopped by Xu Que directly.
My gosh!
I can't believe General Zhuge could be a man like this!
He's so shameless and horrible! No wonder he's the legendary big devil!
"Shang, as you said, our hostility is contracted today! Later, I will call on your family! I guarantee I will not take a single needle or piece of thread from your home!" Xu Que raised his head abruptly and said forcefully while staring at Shang Wu angrily, his face covered with tears.
Hearing that, people changed their expressions instantly.
It's over! General Zhuge is going to search General Shang's house and confiscate his property with this excuse. Something big is going to happen!
General Shang is the only son of the Scarlet Yang Sect's Sect Leader. The most critical thing is that the Scarlet Yang Sect has a powerful backer overseas!

525 I Have a Question
Chapter 525: I Have a Question
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone was looking at Xu Que…
Lao Li made his way into the crowd and said gently to Xu Que. "General Zhuge, calm down. No one in the Scarlet Yang Sect can defeat you. However, there is one person, General Shang Wu's aunt, who married into a big family overseas, and is a really tough figure."
"He has an aunt with connections to people overseas?" Xu Que frowned.
"It's said that his aunt has two Spiritual Roots. She was spotted by a powerful man when he was travelling, then he took her with him. Later, she became so famous that even people overseas know about her, and she's married to a promising young man from a big family," Lao Li said.
"Nonsense! No one can be more powerful than the Exploding Heavens Faction," Xu Que replied.
Shang Wu took some medicine so his wound would heal. He stared at Xu Que and said angrily, "Zhuge Liang, you're pushing me too hard."
"Oh, really? Tell me, when have I driven you too hard?" Xu Que smiled.
Buttface suddenly got up from the ground and said, "Yes, tell us, when have we driven you too hard?"
Then Buttface "collapsed" and said in a rather weak tone, "I'm practically dying, Xu Que, promise me you will get revenge for me!"
Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
For god's sake! You got up from the ground and shouted, and then you collapsed? Do you think we're all foolish enough to be cheated by your shabby "performance"?
"General Shang Wu, I don't think we have met before, and I have done nothing to offend you, have I?! I am always the mildest one in my faction, and I am also the one who cannot bear someone treating me unfairly, not even in the slightest. If anyone curses me, I will definitely kill everyone in their family," Xu Que threatened.
In fact, if it were not for his being Situ Hai Tang's husband, Xu Que surely would have taught him a good lesson outside the city.
He had never thought Shang Wu would dare to come to the inn, so he had spat on him on purpose to teach him a lesson.
"Zhuge Liang, you do, indeed, have a sharp tongue. It's you who offended me in the first place by asking people if you were good enough for my wife, and you think I'm the one who offended you!" Shang Wu sneered and stood up, the wound on his arms slowly healing.
Seeing this, Xu Que was surprised.
It seems that he's very powerful, which totally exceeds my expectations. The medicine he took was really incredible, I bet he's got plenty. Besides, what he said was right, I am the one in the wrong. Since he's Situ Hai Tang's fiancé, I shouldn't say things like that.
"I think it's time for me to say something fair." Buttface suddenly got up from the ground and said rather seriously, "I have nothing to do with this business, at all."
"F*ck you!" Xu Que punched Buttface.
He looked at everyone. "We shall call it a day today. I am Zhuge Liang, and I hope the world can always be peaceful. Goodbye, everyone!"
He took Buttface with him and was about to leave the room.
There's no need to have a fight with Shang Wu, I just wanted to give him a lesson, and I have done so.
However, as soon as Xu Que took a step forward, Shang Wu reached out his hand and stopped him.
"Zhuge Liang, you really think you can leave like this?" Shang Wu said with a gloomy face.
Hearing this, Xu Que was amazed.
I'm always the one who bully others, I have never been so merciful to anyone else before. How on earth do you dare you stop me?!
Xu Que sneered. "What? You want me to apologize to you?"
"Apology? Don't be ridiculous!" Shang Wu sneered, "I can forgive you on the business of spitting, but I can't possibly forgive you for hurting my arms. I have used a precious magic pill. You really think you can get away from this simply by apologizing? General Zhuge, there are two choices for you, allowing me to break your arm or two of that dog's legs."
"Nonsense! How dare you threaten me like this?" Xu Que laughed.
Everyone at present was shocked and had never thought Shang Wu would behave like this.
After all, Shang Wu was the only son of the Scarlet Yang Sect, and had an aunt who married into a powerful family overseas.
Even so, General Zhuge was also very powerful, and everyone called him evil. Once the two fought against each other, things could turn out to be rather nasty.
Lao Li hurriedly went forward and said, "Please calm down you two, please. We all belong to one family."
"One family?! Are you serious? My faction is such a noble one! I shall never lower myself to his level. Look at him, Shang Wu? What a peculiar name! Why don't you call yourself 'afternoon'?" Xu Que was a bit cross.
In the World of Cultivation, reason always failed; what was important was a person's strength. Only children could believe reason would work in this world.
"So you've made up your mind to become my enemy, Zhuge Liang?" Shang Wu's face was extremely dark.
"You haven't got the qualifications to call yourself my enemy!" Xu Que sneered.
The next moment, Xu Que summoned his Dark Heavy Buster Sword, and it immediately appeared in his hand.
Seeing this, everyone present was shocked.
"He… he's in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage!" one exclaimed.
In just a few months, he's now in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage?
General Zhuge has managed to elevate himself from the Original Infant Stage to the Infant Transformation Stage, and the fourth level?! This is incredible!
"What is going on?"
At this moment, people heard a crisp sound coming from the crowd. Everyone was surprised and turned around to see who it was.
It was General Situ Hai Tang!
Including Xu Que, everyone was stunned by what they saw.
Situ Hai Tang was wearing golden war robes with her long hair tied back. Her body was still very curvy and tempting.
"Now everyone leave here!" Situ Hai Tang dispersed the crowd.
She had seen Xu Que and it seemed that she was not surprised by this. Rather, she was unhappy when she saw Shang Wu.
After a short while, everyone left the inn.
Seeing Situ Hai Tang coming back, Shang Wu, who had looked gloomy the whole time, finally smiled. He looked at Situ Hai Tang happily. "Hai Tang, I am so glad that you're back."
"My god! Xu Que, I never thought he could change his facial expression so quickly, you two are quite familiar in this regard," Buttface said with surprise.
"What do you mean?! I'm such a pure person. I always treat people with sincerity." Xu Que quickly covered Buttface's mouth with his hands.
Situ Hai Tang didn't respond to Shang Wu, as if he didn't even exist. Instead, she looked at Xu Que and said gently, "Zhuge Liang, come with me, I want a word with you."
"Ah! Just us two?! Well, I feel a bit embarrassed." Xu Que looked at Shang Wu proudly.
Shang Wu was pissed off, his face blackening.
"Are you coming or not?" Situ Hai Tang asked unhappily.
Realizing Situ Hai Tang was not in a good mood, Xu Que stopped making jokes.
He looked at Buttface and Shang Wu. "Look at her, how can she treat me in this way? I'm a man, I shouldn't be told what to do or not to do by a woman in public, right? She should at least save me some dignity."
Then he turned around and hurriedly caught up with Situ Hai Tang.
"Hai Tang, slow down. Why not go see a movie and hang out on the street together? Why won't you talk to me? Have I done something to make you angry? Just tell me, please."
With the two walking further and further from the inn, Xu Que's voice gradually died down.
It was very quiet in the inn. There were only two inside the inn now, Buttface and Shang Wu.
The two were staring at each other…
"General Shang!"
"What!" Shang Wu replied angrily.
If it weren't for his being afraid of Buttface's scary looks, he would have already killed him by then.
Buttface shook his head. "Nothing! But I have a question for you. Are you mad or not?"
"What?"
"Just tell me, are you mad or not?"

526 No.1 Organization of the World of Cultivators
Chapter 526: No.1 Organization of the World of Cultivators
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Snow City, mansion of the City Governor
Xu Que and Situ Haitang were sitting in the living room in silence.
Two servants of the City Governor's mansion served tea and pastries, then left the living room.
Then Situ Hai Tang said, "Zhuge Liang, why did you make trouble directly upon your arrival?"
"Wow, Hai Tang, you've changed! Before, you called me Young Master Zhuge. Now, you call my name directly. Does this mean progress in our relationship?" Xu Que changed the subject.
Situ Hai Tang rolled her eyes snappily and said while shaking her head, "I only know troops and war, I don't care about etiquette. If you feel offended when I call your name directly, I will continue to call you Young Master Zhuge in the future!"
"Please don't. In that case, you can just call me Little Liangliang, or Little Gege! But please don't call me Little Zhuzhu," Xu Que said with a smile and waved his hand.
Hearing that, Situ Hai Tang immediately got goosebumps all over.
What the hell? It's okay if I call you Little Liangliang. I could never call you Little Gege, otherwise, my reputation in this city would be ruined!
However, this Little Zhuzhu is quite interesting!
"Little piglet…"
Thinking of this, Situ Hai Tang couldn't help sniggering. However, she came to herself immediately and felt it was inappropriate to do so. She stopped laughing and said seriously, "Let's get down to business! What happened today? Why are you in conflict with Shang Wu?"
"This issue is so annoying. Buttface and I were about to enter the city. However, Shang Wu stopped us and said demonic beasts weren't allowed to enter! My god! How is Buttface a demonic beast? He's definitely just a beast, right?
"Later, Li and several other soldiers led us into the city. When Buttface and I had a competition in the hotel, Shang Wu wanted to join us instead of fulfilling his responsibilities of defending the city. He was hit by Buttface's Invincible Thunderbolt Ultimate Spit. Thus, the conflict was created."
After giving the incident a careful revision by deleting anything he did wrong, Xu Que told the story in a concise and comprehensive way.
Hearing this, Situ Hai Tang looked at Xu Que thoughtfully and said with a faint smile on her face, "What you said is different from what I've heard."
"There is no difference! What I said is all true! If I lie to you, I will stop using my family name of Zhuge," Xu Que said, patting his chest.
"Really? What I heard was that you said something inappropriate in the hotel that annoyed Shang Wu. Then you fought with Buttface by spitting at him, and the two of you bullied Shang Wu together!" Situ Hai Tang narrated calmly as if she knew everything clearly.
Xu Que was stunned, then he said with an embarrassed smile, "You aren't honest. Since you know everything, why bother asking me?"
"No reason. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I wondered what kind of interesting things you would say. I didn't expect you to swear on your family name! So, are you going to change your family name now?" Situ Hai Tang looked at Xu Que with a sly smile.
Without concession, Xu Que ran his hands through his hair calmly and said with a smile, "Hello, my real name is Xu Que!"
Now it was Situ Hai Tang's turn to be stunned.
"W-what?" she said in amazement, not believing what she had heard. It turned out that this guy had cheated everyone with a fake name for such a long time!
"Forget the details. Come on, don't talk, try this pastry!" Xu Que changed the subject hurriedly.
Situ Hai Tang showed the whites of her eyes and said angrily, "This is a pastry provided by my home!"
"Well, how about some tea?"
"The tea was also provided by me!"
"I didn't deny it," Xu Que said with a rueful smile.
Furrowing her eyebrows, Situ Hai Tang said seriously, "So the name Zhuge Liang has always been fake, right?"
"It's not a fake name. A member of the Exploding Heavens Faction is called Zhuge Liang. You could make an inquiry to our faction if you don't believe me."
"Then this time you're not lying to me, right? Is Xu Que your real name?"
"Of course! Haven't you heard of me? Oh, right, it seems I haven't used my real name in the Water Nation yet!" Xu Que realized he had made a mistake.
He had thought Situ Hai Tang might be shocked after hearing the name Xu Que. He hadn't expected that she had never heard this name. After all, this wasn't the Fire Nation.
"Of course I've heard of it!"
Situ Hai Tang said calmly, "Xu Que is a member of the Fire Nation and the Exploding Heavens Faction. One year ago, he killed the Emperor of the Fire Nation and the Old God of Killing of the Tian Sha at the Original Infant Stage!"
"Exactly. These are just petty things that aren't worth mentioning!" Xu Que said humbly.
Situ Hai Tang nodded and stopped talking about the events. Then she said, "Although you're powerful, don't make today's scuffle with Shang Wu a big deal! There are two powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage in the Scarlet Yang Sect. More importantly, the Gong Family overseas is their backup! Extremely powerful, the Gong Family is at a high position in the East Continent that is beyond our imaginations!"
Nodding his head, Xu Que said earnestly, "How about talking about how I killed the Fire Emperor and the Old God of Killing of Tian Sha?"
"Zhu… Xu Que, I'm not going to kid you. This is very important. Don't turn against the Scarlet Yang Sect!" Situ Hai Tang widened her eyes in anger and said pressingly.
Xu Que spread his hands and said, "I don't want to turn against them. I've just decided to stop. However, your fiancé was bold. He insisted that one of my hands or two of Buttface's legs should be cut off, which crossed the line! I only didn't kill him because of you!"
When Xu Que finished his words, he became more serious.
Because of his temperament and style, he would have killed Shang Wu in such a circumstance, even if Shang Wu had ten powerful backers overseas!
As a man who feared nothing, Xu Que couldn't be intimidated by a big family.
"Leave me out of it. I have nothing to do with Shang Wu. The betrothal was determined by the previous generations. It's none of my business! I told you these issues just to remind you to take care of yourself and avoid making powerful enemies!" Situ Hai Tang said seriously. It seemed the betrothal was something she didn't want mentioned.
Xu Que nodded with approval, "Exactly! A prenatal betrothal is too feudal! We should pursue free love!"
"I'm talking about the Gong Family and the Scarlet Yang Sect!" Situ Hai Tang said with a headache.
"Oh, they are nothing. Our Exploding Heavens Faction is the top organization of the World of Cultivators and fears nothing! Just now, you said there were two experts at the Infant Transformation Stage in the Scarlet Yang Sect, right? Right now, I could summon over ten members of the Exploding Heavens Faction within an hour who are all in the Infant Transformation Stage! Do you believe that?" Xu Que said calmly.
Situ Hai Tang frowned immediately. Are you going to summon over ten members of the Exploding Heavens Faction within an hour who are all in the Infant Transformation Stage?
Who's gonna believe you? There are ten powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage in the Water Nation at most! Even if all of them are members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, it would be absolutely impossible to summon all of them within an hour!
"What? You don't believe me? Fine, I'll gather them now! Just wait!" Without any hesitation, Xu Que dashed out of the mansion of the City Governor, then jumped into the sky by stepping on lightning, disappearing instantly.

527 Chapter 527
Chapter 527: Chapter 527
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing what Xu Que had said, Situ Hai Tang shook her head and forced out a smile.
In her view, there would already be chaos if so many powerful men in the Infant Transformation Stage appeared in a place that was only thirty minutes away from the Water Nation.
It seems that only the Water Empress could steer him in the right direction!
Situ Hai Tang thought for a while and decided to inform the Water Empress of this.
After all, Xu Que has made himself an enemy of Shang Wu, and the Gong Family overseas is so exceedingly powerful. I have to ask the Water Empress for help.
The reason why my family, the Situ family, hasn't dared to break the engagement with the Gong Family is because the Gong Family is so influential. I would have already ran away if I could.
While Situ Hai Tang was writing a letter to the Water Empress, Shang Wu hurriedly went back to his place. He angrily took out a Fulu and turned it into a Message Delivering Paper.
"Father! I feel rather sorry as I am writing this to you. Zhuge Liang suddenly came to the Snow City today, bragging that he would take Hai Tang away from me. He even humiliated me in front of everyone and spat on me! I was so angry, I argued with him and was heavily beaten by him. Hence, my arms are severely injured. I think Zhuge Liang is indeed an evil man, for he said he intends to destroy our Scarlet Yang Sect. Please inform my aunt about this and ask her for help as soon as you receive this paper! Otherwise, the days of our Scarlet Yang Sect are numbered."
The Scarlet Yang Sect wasn't very far away from the Snow City. Normally, it would only take around an hour for the paper to arrive at the Scarlet Yang Sect via the teleportation array.
At this time, the head of the Scarlet Yang Sect was chatting and enjoying tea with his friends in the Blue Water City, which was right next to the Snow City, so it only took a short while for the head of the Scarlet Yang Sect to receive Shang Wu's message.
"What?!" Shang Ling exclaimed when he realized what had happened.
His friends were all surprised by this.
"What happened, Sect Leader Shang?!"
"My dear friends. I am so sorry that I have to leave now. I just received my son's message, and it seems that something bad has happened. I have to head to the Snow City immediately. We shall continue our party next time."
Shang Ling turned around and left hurriedly.
"Calm down, Sect Leader Shang. We will go with you."
Shang Ling's friends knew something was wrong and went with Shang Ling.
…
Outside the Snow City, an old man in the Infant Transformation stage and a few old men at the ninth level of the Original Infant Stage were heading to the city gates.
Meanwhile, Shang Wu wasn't at the city walls.
When Shang Ling and his friends arrived at the city gates and saw nothing abnormal, he frowned and walked into the city.
The few men of the Original Infant Stage asked, "Sect Leader Shang, what on earth has happened?"
Shang Ling shook his head. "I'm afraid my son has gotten himself into trouble again. I'm his father, I know his temper! He just sent me a message and told me that General Zhuge humiliated him in front of everyone, hurting him, and even said he meant to destroy the Scarlet Yang Sect."
"What?!" Hearing this, they were completely stunned.
"How on earth has your son offended General Zhuge?"
"I have been told that the General Zhuge is a tough figure and is called evil by people."
"Besides that, I have been told his relationship with the Water Empress was never a simple one."
"Not very long ago, the house of the Third Duke was looted by him."
Shang Ling knew that Zhuge Liang was a tough figure, which was why he hurriedly came to the Snow City as soon as he had received his son's message.
He had a rather serious expression and glanced over at a group soldiers who walked past them.
"Excuse me, I wonder if you could tell me where General Shang is?"
"General Shang? I think I saw him walking into his house earlier. Why do you want to see General Shang, by the way?" a soldier asked.
"I've been told that General Shang had a conflict with General Zhuge Liang, is that true?" Shang Ling asked.
Hearing this, the soldier forced out a smile and said, "Yes, it's true. Luckily, General Situ came back and solved it."
"Oh? Would you mind telling me what transpired in detail?"
"Never mind. Everyone already knows about this, I don't see any point hiding it from you." The soldier hesitated, "Well, it all started when General Zhuge said something that he shouldn't have said. General Shang heard about it and angrily went to the inn where General Zhuge was staying. As soon as he opened the door, he saw General Zhuge and a dog spitting at each other…"
"What? Spitting at each other?"
Shang Ling and the rest of the old men were surprised.
The famous General Zhuge had a spitting competition with a dog? This is impossible…
The soldier forced out a smile.
"In fact, General Zhuge is not as scary as people have been led to believe. He was a very interesting person and once led us to protect the Snow City. Well, sometimes he is a bit… Anyway, when General Shang broke into the inn, a glob of saliva dropped right onto his face, so…"
Soon, Shang Ling and the rest of the old men knew all about the incident.
Shang Ling's face turned rather dark.
"B*stard!" he sneered. He wasn't angry about Xu Que; instead, he was angry about his son's actions.
From what the soldier had told him, he realized that Xu Que had no intentions to destroy the Scarlet Yang Sect at all. It was Shang's son who had made this up and threatened Xu Que that he would break his arms.
This is totally different from what I have been told by my son's message.
Hearing this, the few old men were relieved.
Luckily, it's not that serious. Since it was Shang Wu who made it a thing on purpose, it's easy for us to deal with, at least.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Right at this moment, a great noise sounded.
More than ten people in black were headed toward the Snow City, stepping on lightning.
Seeing this, everyone present was shocked.
"Who… who are these people?!"
"My god! They're all in the Infant Transformation Stage! What are they doing here in the Snow City?"
"We should report this to General Situ and General Shang immediately."
All the soldiers at the city walls were a mess.
Shang Ling, as well as his old peers, were also shocked.
"What's going on?!"
"Where have these people come from?"
"How are there are so many powerful men in the Infant Transformation Stage in the Water Nation all of a sudden?"
As far as I'm concerned, there are no more than ten people in the Infant Transformation Stage in the Water Nation. Now, ten more of them have come to the Snow City. Is something terrible going to happen?
"Look! Isn't that General Zhuge? My god! Why on earth is he bringing so many powerful men in the Infant Transformation Stage here?" a man exclaimed.
"What?!"
Hearing this, Shang Ling and his old peers were all stunned.
"It's said that General Zhuge is coming from the Exploding Heavens Faction. Could these people all be from the same faction?" one of Shang Ling's friends said.

528 I Really Hate Those Who Advise Me to be Magnanimous
Chapter 528: I Really Hate Those Who Advise Me to be Magnanimous
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Exploding Heavens Faction!
This name had awe-inspiring fame in the Fire Nation, and it was even intimidating in the Water Nation!
After all, Xu Que's deeds of killing the Fire Emperor and the Old God of Killing of Tian Sha had been spread throughout the Five Nations. Almost all well-informed people had heard of the Exploding Heavens Faction!
In addition, Xu Que had conquered ten cities in the Water Nation under the name Zhuge Liang and established the Wanda Mall of the Exploding Heavens Faction in the name of Wang Sicong.
What he had done laid the foundation for the Exploding Heavens Faction to become popular to such an extent that everyone was intimidated after hearing just the name!
Now, over ten powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage, led by Xu Que and wearing masks and black robes embroidered with red clouds, were landing in the Snow City majestically.
This daunting scene froze the blood of the onlookers.
"Are… they going to attack the Scarlet Yang Sect?" One old man looked at Shang Ling, who was the Sect Leader of the Scarlet Yang Sect, in panic.
Shang Ling shook his head and said thoughtfully, "I don't think so. If they really plan to attack us, they wouldn't have been so flaunty. Also, they would have come directly to the Scarlet Yang Sect instead of coming to the Snow City!"
"Then what are they going to do with so many people? Are they going to punish your son?"
"No, I know my unfilial son's strength very well. General Zhuge could defeat him easily. He wouldn't need to invite so many powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage!" Shang Ling shook his head again.
However, he really couldn't figure out the plan of this General Zhuge, who was so young and formidable.
Just at this moment, Situ Hai Tang who was in her mansion, was also startled. It was impossible for her to ignore such a powerful momentum!
She dashed out of the mansion seriously. When she looked up, she was dumbfounded by what she saw.
Among all the powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage, only one guy who didn't wear a mask was laughing radiantly like a fool. It was definitely Xu Que!
Did… he really summon those people? Situ Hai Tang thought in her mind. Her mind almost went blank.
"Hai Tang, look! I didn't lie to you, right? All of them are members of the Exploding Heavens Faction! They happened to be hanging out in the Snow City, so I summoned all of them!" Xu Que said from the sky with a smile. With the onlookers staring at them in surprise, Xu Que led his team to land in the city quickly.
"This…"
Situ Hai Tang was totally shocked and couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Exceeding her wildest expectations, Xu Que hadn't joked, but really summoned over ten powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage there.
When did these people arrive in the Water Nation?
Also, they were only an hour's journey away from the Snow City! Why didn't I sense them?
As described in the rumors, the Exploding Heavens Faction is really composed of mysterious and elite powerhouses!
"Here, Hai Tang, let me introduce them to you! This one is called Xue Zhiqian and he's a singer! This one is called Li Bai, and he is a poet and a swordsman. This one's name is Wu Wu Kai, and this one is called Hua Wuque…" Xu Que started to introduce the men to Situ Hai Tang while pointing at them.
Many names were new to the onlookers.
However, the people of the Water Nation had heard of Hua Wuque and Li Bai. They were extraordinary, and their deeds in the Fire Nation had spread to the Water Nation.
…
At this moment, Situ Hai Tang really didn't know what to say.
Just to convince her, Xu Que had summoned so many powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage.
It was well known that those in the Infant Transformation Stage were in very high positions, and none of them could be summoned casually!
She hadn't expected he could summon so many people. His public appeal must have been extremely strong!
However, Shang Ling and several old people let out a sigh of relief.
From Xu Que's words, they knew these people weren't going to attack the Scarlet Yang Sect or kill Shang Wu. Xu Que just wanted to show them to Situ Hai Tang, which was quite absurd!
"Hai Tang!"
Shang Ling walked towards Situ Hai Tang with an affable smile in his face.
Situ Hai Tang came to herself and turned around. Then she saw it was Shang Ling, so she said in surprise, "Uncle Shang, what brings you here?"
Xu Que also saw an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion, who was at Level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage and looked like a celestial, come over.
"Um, this must be a misunderstanding!" Shang Ling said with a rueful smile. Then he looked at Xu Que and said with a faint smile, "General Zhuge, I've heard so much about you! I'm Shang Ling, Sect Leader of the Scarlet Yang Sect."
"Oh? It's Sect Leader Shang! Nice to meet you!" Xu Que couldn't help smiling coldly.
He knew Shang Wu wouldn't leave matters at that. Now, his father was there. However, it was useless for her father to be here alone, for he was only at Level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage, and he was quite vulnerable in front of Xu Que.
"General Zhuge, I'm older than you, so I hope I can address you as my young friend, okay? My unfilial son offended you today. I hope you can be generous and forgive him," Shang Ling said nicely with a smile and a serene face. It seemed he wasn't pretending.
Xu Que was stunned and couldn't figure out Shang Ling's intentions. So he remained skeptical.
It shouldn't be like this! This old man was supposed to avenge his son directly and then be killed by me. Why is he behaving so nicely? No, I have to test him again!
"Be generous?" Xu Que snorted abruptly while putting his hands behind his back, then said, shaking his head, "I really hate those who always advise me to be generous! These people always advise me to be generous no matter what happens. You should keep a distance from these people, otherwise, you'll be injured when they are struck by lightning! If you're stabbed by someone and wiping away the blood, these people will come to you and say, 'Hey, you must be brave!' Why don't those people go to hell?"
Xu Que said something vicious to annoy Shang Ling and expose his real intentions.
Hearing his words, people in the area became speechless instantly.
I remember you advised Shang Wu to be generous in the hotel today, right?
Why did you change your mind now?
"Xu… Zhuge Liang, what are you doing? Uncle Shang is not one of the people you're talking about!" Situ Hai Tang was angry and shouted while staring at Xu Que.
Shang Ling smiled slightly and said, waving his hand, "My young friend, I know your plan. However, I really don't have any conspiracy! I know my unfilial son very well. Actually, both of you were at fault in this issue. I hope we can avoid worsening this issue caused by your altercation! Therefore, I chose to make a concession to dispel the issue. Is that okay with you?"
Shang Ling said these words earnestly and sincerely, without any false display of affection.
Xu Que was stunned again. Apparently, he hadn't expected that he had wrongly blamed a good person this time.
It was hard to imagine that a brainless person like Shang Wu could have such an upright father!
"Senior Shang, as your junior, I was rude just now. I hereby apologize to you. You're right, it was partly my fault today. Since you have interceded for your son, as a junior, I will stop picking on him!" Xu Que said with a smile and his hands folded.
He really liked to get along with people like Shang Ling. You be nice to me and I'll be nice to you. This was the code of traveling in this world.
"As I expected, my young friend is really generous! I didn't back the wrong horse! I hereby extend my gratitude to my young friend! As for my unfilial son, I will discipline him strictly in future!" Shang Ling also folded his hands and showed due respect to Xu Que.
This harmonious scene made people in the area quite speechless.
It turned out that General Zhuge could also be gentle! I gained a lot of knowledge today!
Situ Hai Tang also let out a sigh of relief. She knew quite well that Shang Ling was an upright senior who also had a good relationship with her parents. However, Shang Wu was a villain to the core!
When everyone thought this issue could be solved like this, Shang Wu, the other party in this conflict, was sitting in his mansion resentfully.
He had been informed that his father had arrived at the Snow City and solved the issue with Xu Que.
This totally ruined his plan. He thought his father was in the Scarlet Yang Sect and didn't have time to come to the Snow City. If he had exaggerated the seriousness of this issue, his father would definitely have gone to the Gong Family overseas for help!
When the people of the Gong Family arrived, he could definitely make noise about it!
However, now he felt totally humiliated.
"Hm! Zhuge Liang, do you think we could live in peace with each other in the future? I said you would die without a burial place, and I will keep my word!"
After saying that, Shang Wu stood up abruptly, then summoned a trusted subordinate and said seriously, "Now, you go to the Scarlet Yang Sect and send a secret letter to the Gong Family overseas by activating the Teleportation Spell. My father is old and muddle-headed. He doesn't know how to solve this issue. This time, I will solve it myself!"

529 He Doesn“t Even Think Before He Speaks
Chapter 529: He Doesn't Even Think Before He Speaks
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
That day, Situ Hai Tang made some arrangements for Xu Que, Shang Ling, and his old peers to sit down together and enjoy tea.
Shang Ling had also asked Shang Wu to join the crowd and severely criticized him in front of Xu Que.
Shang Wu felt rather upset and dared not to contradict his father, since his father had warned him that if he dared to speak one more word, he would cancel his engagement with Situ Hai Tang.
That was why he had "willingly" accepted all the reprimanding.
Shang Wu looked at Xu Que from time to time and secretly sneered.
…
Before he joined the crowd, Shang Wu had already been told by someone he absolutely trusted that his message had been delivered to the Gong Family overseas. He had spent hundreds of Spiritual Stones of top quality on this.
The Gong Family had already sent out four powerful men in the Infant Transformation Stage, and Shang Wu's cousin, his aunt's son, was among them. In just a few days, they would arrive at the Snow City.
Shang Wu was very happy that he could finally get his revenge. He was sure that he could win, since he was one of the few from Five Element Mountain who knew how powerful the cultivators overseas were.
Compared with the cultivators on Five Element Mountain, the cultivators overseas were much more powerful, both in the regards to magic inscription and the toughness of their bodies.
However, in fact, Xu Que had already known something was not right with Shang Wu.
This b*stard must have some other schemes. If he really intends to kill me, I'll just let my thunder illusion body kill him.
…
During the tea party, Shang Ling and his old peers talked happily about Taoism and a wide range of subjects.
Xu Que had no idea what they were talking about, but he still managed to act tough by nodding and making the gestures like he was contemplating from time to time.
After all, unlike him, they had all become cultivators by studying Taoism and cultivating. As for Xu Que, he had done so by killing people and knew nothing about Taoism, so he just kept silent all through the party.
Seeing this, Situ Hai Tang thought Xu Que was being silent on purpose. She gently touched him with her hand to send him a message. "Xu Que, it's rather rude for you to be silent all this time. You should at least say something, anything you want to say at all!"
"Oh!" Xu Que forced out a smile.
Anything I want to say at all? Are you kidding me? Acting tough on purpose is something I detest very much.
Shang Ling saw Xu Que smiling and asked, "Young man, you are much more superior than any of us both in regards to talent and strength. Would you mind sharing some of your thoughts on Taoism with us?"
Hearing this, Xu Que was speechless.
Oh no! How on earth would I have thoughts on Taoism? No! No! No! I am the King of Acting Tough, I cannot possibly lose face due to this. Yes, I know I am not good at talking about this so-called Taoism, but still, I know I can brag!
All of a sudden, his body trembled, and he said with a very serious face, "Sect Leader Shang, you are being rather modest. You were talking about Tao just now, but I wonder if you've ever thought about what Tao really is?"
Hearing this, Shang Ling, Situ Hai Tang, and the rest of the people became confused.
What Tao really is?
Obviously, no one thought Xu Que would say something like this.
It seemed that everyone present knew something about Tao, but as for what it really is, it wasn't easy to give a clear answer immediately.
"My god! None of you have any idea what Tao really is? Haven't your teachers said anything to you about this in high school? I can answer this question in only one sentence," Xu Que shook his head.
High school? What is that?
Xu Que closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"The Tao that can be expressed is not the eternal Tao; the Name that can be expressed is not the eternal Name."
Hearing this, everyone around was stunned.
This is very difficult to understand! The Tao that can be expressed is not the eternal Tao?
They all looked at Xu Que and saw him closing his eyes and slightly frowning. It seemed like he was meditating. He looked like a God who was preaching to his followers.
He really is brilliant!
He's so young, yet he already has such a high mastery of Tao. We, no, everyone in the Cultivation World, should learn from him.
Shang Wu was also shocked by what Xu Que had said and couldn't believe Xu Que, who was younger than him, could have such sophisticated ideas.
Situ Hai Tang had meant to ask Xu Que to say something and not to be silent all the time. After she heard what he said, she was greatly surprised.
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que was thinking hard, trying to recall the texts about Taoism written in his Chinese book in middle school.
My god, I've almost forgotten.
After a while, Xu Que managed to recall a few lines of it. "Names can name no lasting name. Nameless: the origin of heaven and earth. Naming: the mother of ten thousand things. Empty desire, perceive mystery. Filled with desire, perceive manifestations. These have the same source, but different names. Call them both deep—deep and again, deep: the gateway to all mystery…"
"Okay, I should stop here, that's quite enough for today. You should ponder on this if you want to know more about Tao. I have done my job."
Then Xu Que took a deep breath and was relieved.
These lines that had impressed everyone present were from "Tao Te Ching." After hearing this, everyone was in a daze.
What Xu Que had said sounded very mysterious and complicated, but in fact, it was a way of simplifying the rather complex ideas of Tao.
The others present had all learned something from Xu Que's words.
Shang Ling exclaimed, "I am really ashamed by myself. You are so young and already have such a good hold of Tao."
"It's really a pity that there aren't many young talents like you these days."
The rest of the people all nodded.
No wonder he's already in the Infant Transformation Stage in his teens. Of course, it has a lot to do with his own talent, but it has also a lot to do with his hard work.
Hearing his father and the rest complimenting Xu Que, he was so furious that he almost cried.
You have all been deceived by him. He is not the kind of person you all think he is!
Suddenly, Shang Ling hit Shang Wu on the back of his head. "Your mind has gone miles away, right?! Look at Xu Que. Although he's so very talented, he's never arrogant like you are! He works hard and devotes himself to cultivation. As for you, you know nothing but bullying others."
"I…"
I'm arrogant and a bully?
Father! Open your eyes and look at Xu Que carefully. He is the one who is an arrogant bully!
"Sect Leader Shang, please don't be like this. It won't do any good to your health. It takes time and patience to raise a child. I know it's not easy!"
Shang Ling nodded and totally agreed with what Xu Que had just said.
Yes, it really is difficult to raise a child.
"You're absolutely right! He's already past the point of help now, and I can't do anything about it," Shang Ling shook his head and sighed.
"You cannot possibly be this negative!" Xu Que said suddenly, "I think the best way to raise a misbehaving child who is too picky about food and hates eating is to give him a good hit."
Hearing this, Shang Wu was totally shocked.
I'm never picky about food and I don't hate eating at all!
Shang Ling forced out a smile. "His problem is much more complicated than just being picky about food."
Xu Que waved his hand and said, "Sect Leader Shang, you misunderstood me. I was just giving you an example. How about I tell you in this way, do you know how I managed to make such a great achievement? It was all because of my father."
"Oh? What do you mean by that exactly?"
Everyone was very interested and wondered how Xu Que had managed to come this far.
Xu Que looked high up at the sky and said, "When I was young, my family was very poor. I didn't have enough food to eat, and it was impossible to get enough sleep. One time, a moldy chinese bread fell onto the ground from a carriage. I hurriedly picked it up and ate it. That night, my father hit me bitterly after he learned about it. He hit me without stopping for three days with a thorny stick. He even sprinkled salt on my wounds…
"Since then, I learned that I should never take things that didn't belong to me, and I became a very independent and hard-working person. That's why I'm so diligent now, all because of my father. Without him, I couldn't possibly come this far."
Then he looked at Shang Ling and said, "So you cannot be merciful to your own child. You should hit him bitterly until he starts to behave himself. When he grows up, he will surely appreciate you for this."
Hearing this, Shang Ling's eyes sparkled, and he said happily, "You're absolutely right! Your words have enlightened me indeed!"
Suddenly, the tea cup in Shang Wu's hand fell onto the ground and shattered into pieces.
Screw you! Xu Que! You're really such a thug! How dare you encourage my father to hit me?! Father! Don't buy his words! He doesn't even think before he speaks!

530 I Have an Idea!
Chapter 530: I Have an Idea!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At last, after the tea party, Shang Wu was taken back to the mansion by Shang Ling.
From Shang Ling's eager expression, Xu Que knew that Shang Wu would be beaten unmercifully when they were home.
For this, Xu Que provided Shang Ling with several plans.
For example, Shang Ling could hang and beat Shang Wu, which could be abbreviated as "Hang & Beat," or Shang Ling could team up with his wife to provide Shang Wu with twofold care by taking turns.
Hearing his suggestions, Shang Ling was quite shocked. He supposed Xu Que would have experienced all these treatments, otherwise, he wouldn't know them so well. Therefore, Shang Ling nodded again and again and said he would use all these plans for Shang Wu, several times.
After all, Xu Que was such a good example. Shang Ling hoped he could cultivate Shang Wu into a leader like Xu Que. He would never spoil Shang Wu anymore!
After sending out Shang Ling and the rest of the guests, only Xu Que and Situ Hai Tang were left in the Tea House.
Xu Que smiled in relief.
Situ Hai Tang watched Xu Que for a while, then she said while shaking her head, "You're so mean! Because of you, Shang Wu will have a hard time later! Even Uncle Shang was cheated by you!"
"What I've done is for their own good! You're telling me that Shang Wu shouldn't be beaten up? I didn't punish him because of you this time. If he offends others this way, I'm afraid he would have been killed now," Xu Que said meaningfully.
Situ Hai Tang said indifferently, "His life or death is none of my business! However, what you said really makes sense. I don't want to see Uncle Shang bury his son, so I didn't expose you just now!"
"Hey, what you said isn't correct! After all, we're in the same boat. How could you expose me so casually?"
Situ Hai Tang was stunned and asked, "Since when I am in the same boat as you?"
"Since long ago, when we were in the Holy Ground of the Snow Mountain, and you promised me you would join the Exploding Heavens Faction and train a powerful army!" Xu Que said majestically.
Situ Hai Tang said embarrassedly, "I didn't promise you!"
"I don't care! I took it as a promise! Moreover, later I will go overseas together with Her Royal Highness the Water Empress, and I don't know when I'll come back. Therefore, you could act as the City Governor and train the powerful army of the Exploding Heavens Faction at the same time!" Xu Que acted shamelessly and forced Situ Hai Tang to join the Exploding Heavens Faction, because he thought highly of Situ Hai Tang's extraordinary ability to train troops.
When Situ Hai Tang heard Xu Que was about to go overseas, she asked in surprise, "Are you going to leave?"
"Yes! But I will definitely come back, so don't worry. You just have to help me train the troops. Have you ever heard a saying that goes like this, with great power comes great responsibility? You're really powerful, so you have to shoulder this responsibility to help me in strengthening the Exploding Heavens Faction so that I can realize my wish to save the world," Xu Que said forcefully, his face filled with eagerness!
Situ Hai Tang rolled her eyes snappily and became completely speechless.
Do you want to save the world? You can't fool me! You're going to do harm to this world, right?
However, Xu Que had stated his wishes firmly, so it was difficult for Situ Hai Tang to say no. Also, when she had been promoted as the City Governor, her job had become quite boring, so she was a little bit touched by Xu Que's offer.
After pondering it for a short while, she nodded and said, "It's no problem for me to train your army. But where is your army?"
"They're in the Imperial City! The three thousand soldiers of the Snow City," Xu Que said by squinting his eyes.
Situ Hai Tang widened her eyes and said while shaking her head, "Xu Que, you get more and more shameless! Since when did the troops of the Snow City become the army of the Exploding Heavens Faction?"
"Oh, don't worry about the details! What's yours is mine, right? Moreover, I have agreed to let you join the Exploding Heavens Faction. Therefore, we'll be family in future!
"So this issue is hereby decided joyfully. In several days, I will go to the Imperial City. You can take the soldiers back. In addition, they've been running the Wanda Mall of the Exploding Heavens Faction in the Imperial City recently. They should have earned a lot of Spirit Stones. You can take all the Spirit Stones back to support your training. Just buy whatever you need," Xu Que continued to say with a shameless smile on his face.
Situ Hai Tang was helpless, for she was unable to outspeak Xu Que.
For what Xu Que had done for the Snow City, Situ Haitang thought it wasn't a big deal to give him three thousand soldiers. Therefore, she simply agreed by nodding her head.
Finally, they went back to the mansion of the City Governor and rested separately.
It was quite rare that Xu Que didn't tease Situ Hai Tang that night, as he knew the success rate would be zero!
It was very difficult to tease a tomboy like Situ Hai Tang, and it required the accumulation of a lot of time. A watched pot never boils! Shang Wu was just a typical example!
Therefore, Xu Que kicked Buttface out of his room and had a good sleep that night.
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Que woke up before dawn. It was quite rare that he didn't get up late. He woke up Buttface with a kick and asked him to see a play.
Buttface shouted reluctantly, "What play do you want me to see? I never watch plays!"
"You stupid dog! Last night, Shang Wu must have been beaten up by his father! If we don't congratulate him, we'd be deemed rude!"
"Was Shang Wu beaten up? Haha, I like seeing this play!" Buttface perked up immediately, then stood up and dashed out quickly.
Xu Que and Buttface arrived outside the mansion of Shang Wu. They found the gate open, the courtyard very quiet.
An old man was sitting with his legs crossed. It was Shang Ling, resting his mind by closing his eyes and nourishing his spirit through expiration and inspiration.
It seemed Shang Ling had sensed someone outside the gate, as he opened his eyes abruptly and said in surprise, "My young friend Zhuge, what brings you here? Something important?"
"No, no! We happened to pass by here and just called on Senior Shang along the way!" Xu Que stepped into the courtyard with a radiant smile.
Buttface was following Xu Que furtively and looking around with his sly eyes.
Shang Ling stood up immediately to welcome Xu Que and said with a smile, "You are so considerate! Alas, if my unfilial son can be half as good as you, I'll feel at peace when I die!"
"Oh? Didn't you use the methods I suggested? Weren't they useful?" Xu Que asked cheerfully with bright eyes upon hearing Shang Ling's words.
Shang Ling sighed, shaking his head, "Alas, after all, he is our son! I really can't beat him up! Last night, I planned to discipline him. However, he cried and said he will repent his misdeeds thoroughly and work harder in cultivation in the future. I was soft hearted and just let him go. I didn't expect that this morning he would go out for a drink and disappear again, which makes me so mad!"
"Oh, that won't do! Sect Leader Shang, you must be ruthless! I know there will be pain deep down in your heart when you beat up your son. Don't forget the old saying that goes like this, to feed without teaching is the father's fault!" Xu Que tried to persuade Shang Ling.
He had planned to have a good laugh at Shang Wu. However, instead of being beaten, Shang Wu had gone out to party with his friends! His life was too cozy!
"Alas!" Shang Ling sighed again helplessly.
"Sect Leader Shang, I have an idea, would you like to try it?" At this moment, an idea occurred to Xu Que, so he asked this with a smile.

Chapter 531: You Have Broken the Law
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Oh? Really? Please tell me what I can do." Shang Ling grew interested.
Xu Que smiled. "If you can't do it yourself, I can do it for you, if you don't mind."
"What?!" Shang Ling was stunned.
Xu Que laughed. "Sect Leader Shang, don't worry, I'll have mercy on him. If I do hit him on your behalf, he'll definitely hate me and want revenge, and to beat me, he would have to work hard on his cultivation."
"This…" Shang Ling hesitated.
Xu Que said, "Sect Leader Shang, just think carefully. When he grows extremely powerful, we'll tell him we did this simply because we want the best for him, and he will understand us by that time. How do you feel about this?"
Shang Ling was silent with his hands behind his back, as if he was really considering Xu Que's suggestions.
Buttface was surprised by what Xu Que had said and stared at him.
"Sect Leader Shang, he offended me this time. Thankfully, I am such a nice man that I wouldn't hold grudge against him, but what if he offends someone much more powerful and more cruel than me? He should be taught a lesson this time, otherwise he'll put himself in bigger danger next time."
Shang Ling was silent for a while and finally nodded. "Fine! Do as you have suggested. But please don't be too harsh on him."
"No problem. You can count on me. Sect Leader Shang, just remember that from today on, you owe me a favour," Xu Que laughed.
"Of course, of course. I will definitely remember what you've done for me!" Shang Ling nodded.
"F*ck!" Buttface could no longer see Xu Que tricking Shang Ling and cursed.
How sneaky! He does indeed have a sharp tongue! I never thought he could hoodwink people like this!
Hearing Buttface's shout, Shang Ling was surprised.
"What's wrong with your pet?"
"Don't mind him, there's something wrong with his head. Pay no attention to him please. I will go and find your son, bully him, and make him hate me."
Shang Ling made a bow with his hands folded on his front and said, "I'll count you on for this, thank you!"
…
After learning where Shang Wu was, Xu Que and Buttface quickly went to find him.
"You're really good at tricking people, aren't you! To be honest, I admire you for this!" Buttface gave a thumbs up to Xu Que.
In fact, this was the first time that Buttface had ever praised Xu Que.
"I've told you many times that we need to be modest." Xu Que replied.
"How about this, allow me to punch Shang Wu a few times? Don't worry, I will be merciful," Buttface said with great excitement.
"I will not! What if he is killed by you? Then I am the one who's responsible! Anyway, you can spit on him if you want."
"Deal!"
On the way, the two were talking about how they were going to hit Shang Wu, and after a while, they arrived at a restaurant.
It was early morning, but the restaurant was already full of people.
To relax, Shang Wu had gone to the restaurant with his friends.
Each young man was hugging a few women and laughing hard. Shang Wu was surrounded by many beautiful women wearing heavy makeup. They were drinking and laughing…
I'll tell you, that General Zhuge's days are numbered, and he has no idea about it!"
"Does this mean you've found a way to punish him?" one of the young men asked.
Hearing this, Shang Wu laughed. "Why on earth should I waste my time finding a way to punish someone like him? My aunt has sent people here. When they arrive here, General Zhuge is bound to die."
Bang!
All of a sudden, the door of the restaurant was opened.
Xu Que slowly walked inside and mocked him, "Oh, really? Close the door and release the dog!"
"..."
Everyone present was shocked. They'd had no idea that Xu Que would come here, and with his pet dog, even.
Shang Wu instantly became pretentious and smiled. "My dearest General Zhuge, I was just joking earlier. You don't mind, right? Thanks to you, I've been reprimanded by my father."
Shang Wu had mentioned his father on purpose and thought Xu Que would behave himself with his father currently in the city; on the other hand, he thought his joke was just a small one, and compared to what Xu Que did to him, it was basically nothing.
Xu Que stood still and stared him, smiling, not saying anything.
Buttface was getting rather excited and couldn't wait to hit Shang Wu.
"General Shang, I'm sorry to tell you that today, I've come here to enforce the law!" Xu Que said.
Hearing this, people were confused.
Enforcing the law? What law?
"What do you mean by this? You aren't even an official in this city…"
Shang Wu frowned and realised something wasn't right, he backed off a bit and became rather worried.
Xu Que smiled. "You might have not heard, but I was recruited into a new department called the Urban Administrative and Law Enforcement Bureau, or Urban Management Bureau, to make it simple. I'm in charge of the enforcement of urban management of the city."
"Urban management of the city?" Shang Wu frowned, "Then why you are here?"
"To arrest you," Xu Que said casually.
"What?"
"You've broken the law and you will be punched! Buttface, close the door!" Xu Que said while pulling up his sleeve.
Shang Wu was so frightened that his head was numb. After all, he was only in the Original Infant Stage and couldn't possibly win Xu Que.
"Zhuge Liang, stop! You can't do this to me!"
"Haven't you heard? I'm in charge of the urban management of the city. Look at your face, it's so ugly, and you simply come out on the street without wearing a mask! You have done some severe damage to the public image of our city."
The next minute, Xu Que stood in front of Shang Wu and punched him right in the face.
"Ouch!" Shang Wu shouted with pain. His nasal bone was broken immediately and blood flew down.
Xu Que hit him again and again and again…
"You should have worn a mask!"
"Ouch!"
"You should have worn a mask!"
"Ouch!"
"You should have worn a mask!"
"Ouch!"
...
Everyone present was stunned by what they were seeing.
Someone with an ugly face not wearing a mask is against the law?!
Why I have never heard of this before?!
But General Shang isn't ugly at all!

532 Bully Him
Chapter 532: Bully Him
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At the end, Shang Wu's face was so swollen that it looked like a pig's head. Lying on the ground gasping, he was still not dead!
His head was totally blank, for he had never expected Xu Que would dare to beat him up like this in broad daylight!
All the onlookers were also completely dumbfounded, none daring to move.
"Here, eat this pill, the second half awaits!" At this moment, Xu Que came over suddenly with warm smile. He took out a pill and put it into Shang Wu's mouth.
When Shang Wu heard the first half of Xu Que's words, he still thought it wasn't a big deal.
However, he was totally stunned by the second half, which almost made him spit blood!
This scene also froze the blood of all the onlookers.
You beat him up. Are you going to give him a second round after feeding him a pill to heal his wounds?
Damn! This is too savage!
I've never seen a person who bullies others like this!
"Little brat, come on, it's my turn!" At this moment, Buttface who was already impatient, came up excitedly.
Shang Wu saw Buttface and widened his eyes immediately.
"What… are you… going to do?"
It was totally unacceptable to him. It was quite normal for him, as a cultivator at the Original Infant Stage, to be beaten up by Xu Que, who was also at the Infant Transformation Stage.
But if he was beaten up by a dog, it would be the deepest shame of his whole life.
"Don't worry, I won't beat you. I'm afraid I could kill you with just one punch, so l'll punish you according to the old rules!" Squinting his eyes, Buttface approached Shang Wu with a charming smile.
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
Old rules? Are there some rules stipulated between this dog and General Shang?
Shang Wu was also confused and couldn't figure out the meaning of Buttface's words.
"Buttface, come on, the second round is yours!" After saying this, Xu Que left Shang Wu to Buttface by reaching out his palm to high five Buttface's paw.
Seeing that, the onlookers almost passed out.
You can't bully a person like this! A high-five to hand him over is unbelievable!
"Hehehe!" Buttface walked up to Shang Wu with an undignified smile.
Then he opened his mouth abruptly. Splat!
Patter!
A mouthful of saliva as big as a water ball pelted Shang Wu's head.
Shang Wu was completely stunned! His hair was totally wet from the saliva, which was dripping slowly along the ends of his hair.
The onlookers were also dumbfounded, for none of them had expected the old rule mentioned by Buttface to mean spitting!
This is too mean, meaner than just beating him up!
"Ah…" Shang Wu yelled crazily.
He almost burst with anger. He used to be spat by this dog, which was deemed as a humiliation in his life. However, being spat by the same dog for the second time was definitely a burning shame for him!
"Hehehe, cool! Just keep yelling. The louder you yell, the more excited I'll be!" Buttface laughed excitedly and kept spitting saliva.
In front of an audience, Buttface showed off all his spitting skills, like spitting upside down, avalanche-style spit, and spitting while swinging his body, which were dazzling.
However, Shang Wu could do nothing. He had been wounded by Xu Que. Although he had been fed a pill, the recovery effect of that pill was unclear. Therefore, he could only lie on the ground and watch Buttface spit on his head.
At last, when Shang Wu had finally regained his strength, this appalling bullying and humiliation was finished. Xu Que and Buttface were long gone.
"I will kill them! I want them to die without a burial place!" Shang Wu yelled crazily. Then he hastened out of the room in a great rush and returned to his mansion.
He wanted to ask his father to avenge him. In his eyes, Xu Que was only at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage, which was definitely no match for his father, who was at Level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage. Now that the other members of the Exploding Heavens Faction weren't there, it was absolutely no problem to kill Xu Que at that moment.
However, it was very quiet in the mansion. Shang Wu searched everywhere, but failed to find his father.
"Stop! Where is my father?" he stopped a servant and shouted ferociously.
The servant was surprised and replied in a trembling voice, "General Shang, our Lord said his secluded cultivation started today. No one is allowed to disturb him!"
"Secluded cultivation? Ah…" Shang Wu yelled.
At the same time, in a room of the mansion, Shang Ling, who was sitting on a futon with his legs crossed, opened his eyes slightly.
Hearing Shang Wu's ferocious and forceful yelling, Shang Ling was entirely reassured and murmured in his mind that General Zhuge must have really punished him properly.
…
That day, Shang Wu took another precious pill to heal his wounds. Meanwhile, he bathed himself three times and went outside again until night fell.
His heart was filled with grievances and anger, so he planned to vent.
What?
However, when he passed by a small alley, he heard some familiar voices nearby.
Shang Wu stopped immediately, then found a doorway to a tea house near the alley. Xu Que and Buttface were chatting in the alley.
"Little Brat, today was so fantastic! Finally, revenge was mine!"
"Alas!"
"Damn! Why did you sigh? Don't tell me you're showing remorse. This is totally not your style!"
"Are you kidding? I'm worried about an excuse for us to keep bullying him tomorrow. I can't beat him only with the excuse that he is ugly and doesn't wear a mask. That was too improvised!"
"Is this worrying you? It's so easy! Tomorrow, you can ask him to buy you something to eat. If he buys noodles, you could beat him because he didn't buy rice. And if he buys rice, you could also beat him because he didn't buy noodles! If he buys rice and noodles, you can still beat him because he didn't buy pancakes!"
"Wow, Buttface, you're awesome! How could you be so creative in giving someone a hard time?"
"Bullsh*t! I got all these creative ideas by following you! Now, I just inspire you with your own thoughts!"
"You are bullsh*tting! My thoughts are never as filthy as yours!"
…
Finally, their discussion was ended with a quarrel!
Hearing their dialogue, Shang Wu broke into a cold sweat outside the room. These two guys are too mean! After bullying me today, now they are talking about an excuse to bully me tomorrow! Fine, very good! I'll play with you two tomorrow!
He turned around and left with a cold smile.
Early the next morning, Shang Wu went outside again.
He went to the same restaurant as the day before, booked the same room, and invited the same friends!
"General… Shang, is it okay to have a gathering here today?" a young man said with great concern.
Shang Wu said with a cold smile, "Don't worry, today they will have no excuse to beat me!"
He had heard the plan discussed by Xu Que and Buttface last night. Therefore, he was confident and well-prepared. Apparently, he had prepared a method to fight back and regain the prestige he had lost yesterday in front of these people.
…
After a short while, Squeak! The door of the restaurant was opened by someone.
Xu Que and Buttface came in slowly with radiant smiles.
"General Shang, you seem to be in a good mood today!" Xu Que said with a smile. He was surprised when he had heard Shang Wu went to this restaurant again. Without thinking about it, they went over directly and prepared to start the second day of bullying.
Shang Wu said coldly, "General Zhuge, what are you going to do today?"
"Nothing, I passed by this restaurant today and I feel hungry, but I don't know the dishes in this restaurant very well. How about ordering some food for me?" Xu Que planned to bully Shang Wu with the method suggested by Buttface.
Without hurrying or panicking, Shang Wu asked calmly, "General Zhuge, do you want noodles or rice?"
What?
All at once, Xu Que and Buttface were stunned and made eye contact immediately.
Why is he so clever this time?
"Eh, noodles!" Xu Que replied.
Shang Wu asked again, "Do you want noodles with meat or just vegetable noodles?"
Xu Que frowned instantly. Something must be wrong!
But he also replied, "With meat!"
"Do you want your noodles prepared in a big bowl or a small bowl? How many bowls of noodles do you want? Do you want several dishes? Do you avoid certain foods?" Shang Wu asked several questions consecutively with a sarcastic, confident, and cold smile.
All of a sudden, Xu Que and Buttface were dumbfounded and became speechless.
Our plan failed!
Shang Wu laughed even harder, for this was so satisfying!
Whoosh!
Just at this moment, Xu Que disappeared on the spot and then appeared in front of Shang Wu.
Shang Wu was stunned immediately. Before he had time to react, Xu Que started to punch him in the face!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Why don't you wear a mask?
Why don't you wear a mask?
Why don't you wear a mask?

533 Come Back!
Chapter 533: Come Back!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Like yesterday, Shang Wu was once again bullied by Xu Que.
He had thought Xu Que might leave him alone today, since he had eavesdropped on Xu Que and Buttface the night before. Well, he was wrong.
Xu Que punched him with the excuse of his ugly face and not wearing a mask, and once again, Buttface spat on him.
Shang Wu was furious, but he had no way but to vent his anger.
He finally realised that no matter what excuses Xu Que used, he would always be bullied as long as Xu Que was more powerful than him.
"Zhuge Liang! He who laughs laughs last the longest. I will get my revenge one day! I will see you crying and begging me to let you go!" Shang Wu lay on the ground and shouted.
By this time, Xu Que and Buttface had already left.
At last, Xu Que had managed to make Shang Wu hate him like hell.
Shang Wu hadn't realised that the most important thing for him to do was to enhance himself, rather, he was totally relying on his aunt and the men she sent.
…
When Shang Wu recovered, he went back to his house, shouting, "I want to kill him,""I shall get revenge," and things like that.
Shang Ling, who pretended to be cultivating in seclusion in his room, thought his son had realised that to get revenge, he would have to work hard on his cultivation. He felt very happy about this.
In the following days, Shang Ling still stayed in his room…
Meanwhile, Xu Que and Buttface made bullying Shang Wu part of their daily routine. Sometimes when Shang Wu wasn't in the restaurant, they would go to bully him at his home with the excuse that some parts of his house had been built illegally, or people were having some secret, illegal meetings at his house.
…
This bullying lasted about five days, and during this period, Shang Wu felt like he was living in hell. If it weren't for the fact that he knew helpers sent by the Gong Family would come tomorrow, he would have already drowned himself in the river.
On the contrary, Xu Que had rather enjoyed himself in the last few days. Apart from bullying Shang Wu, he spent most of his time in the mansion of the City Governor flirting with Situ Hai Tang.
Of course, he had also done some serious business.
He had made some very detailed plans to train the army of the Exploding Heavens Faction. For example, plans to train spies, plans to train people who excelled in Infernal Affairs, plans for a Flying Tiger Team, the Avengers plan, and various assisting tactics aimed for the Special Forces on earth.
Besides that, he also gave all the black and gold armor he had stolen from the secret room of the Second Prince when he was in the Gold Nation to Situ Hai Tang.
"Find a blacksmith and ask them to carve the three words, 'Exploding Heavens Faction' on each suit of armor," Xu Que said.
Xu Que was rather serious about building an army this time, since the last time he had taken back all the lost cities of the Water Nation, he had realised that no matter how strong he was, his strength was limited. Thus, a powerful army was extremely necessary.
Most importantly, with an army, he could act tough anytime he wanted.
After I make achievements overseas, I'll come back and bring my trained army overseas. With an army, I'm sure I can beat anyone who doesn't recognize me!
Situ Hai Tang promised that she would help him train an army on his behalf and accepted the armor.
"I'll only help you train them for five years. After that, I'll leave this place."
"Leaving this place? Why?" Xu Que was surprised.
Situ Hai Tang looked at him and said gently. "To run away from this engagement!"
"Well said! I like someone who pursues their own true love and the freedom of love. If I don't come back in five years, you can come overseas to find me."
"Yes!" Situ Hai Tang replied and started to check the armor.
"Ow!" Buttface shouted as he ran into the yard with a big parcel on his back.
"Are you leaving or not?! I've been waiting for you for ages. Didn't you say that we should depart today? Hurry up then! I'll go back and enjoy hamburgers and ice cream."
"Are you leaving today?" Situ Hai Tang asked in surprise.
Xu Que nodded and smiled. "Yes, I will leave soon. Are you coming with me?"
Situ Hai Tang was silent. She shook her head and said, "No, there's no need for me to go with you. When you arrive there, just ask the three thousand soldiers of the Snow City to come back. Now, I'll take the time to find a proper training field for them."
"You are quite professional, aren't you? Next time, I'll ask Ma Yun to send you a 'Dedicated Blessing!'"
Situ Hai Tang laughed. "You're always like this, very opaque. One moment. you're very serious, and the next moment, you talk nonsense."
"This makes me more mysterious, doesn't it?" Xu Que smiled.
The more mysterious I am, the more women will want to know me better. The more they know me, the faster they'll fall in love with me. This is the best way to get a girl.
"Still, I need to warn you that you need to be low-key and modest when you're overseas. Although I haven't been there before, I have been told constantly that there are many powerful cultivators there. The history of some factions or families can date back tens of thousands of years. Also, people of the Void Training Stage or the Form Synthesis Stage are incredibly powerful, so you shouldn't behave as you do here in the Five Nations, do you understand?" Situ Hai Tang said rather seriously.
Hearing this, Xu Que felt very thankful and nodded. "I will remember what you have just said."
In fact, Xu Que had said this simply to comfort Situ Hai Tang.
For Xu Que, it was impossible for him to be modest and low-key. He would always get himself into trouble.
As the King of Acting Tough, he did things based on the theory of King of Acting Tough and acted by the principle of making trouble, and he ran away as soon as he did his business of Acting Tough.
Getting myself into trouble? So what? I'll turn around and fight against the enemy; not being able to win? So what? I'll turn around and run away.
Later in the day, Xu Que and Buttface headed to the teleportation array located in the center of the Snow City.
After hearing the news that they were leaving, Shang Wu was stunned.
I've been bullied so relentlessly by you two for the last five days, and now that the helpers from the Gong Family are going to arrive tomorrow, you're leaving?! Are you kidding me?!
Zhuge Liang! Come back! You b*stard!

534 Please Keep Spurring Me On!
Chapter 534: Please Keep Spurring Me On!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the mansion of the Shang Family, Shang Ling, who was pretending to be in secluded cultivation, also heard the news that Xu Que was about to leave. Therefore, he finished his "secluded cultivation" immediately.
"Shang Wu, is my young friend Zhuge about to leave? Why is he in such a hurry?" Shang Ling went into the living room and asked.
Shang Wu was delighted upon seeing Shang Ling. "Dad, finally, you finished your secluded cultivation! Hurry, please call Zhuge Liang back and don't let him go!"
"Mind your words! My young friend Zhuge must be desperate to leave because of some urgent business. How could I call him back? Haven't you learned a lesson recently?"
"What?"
All of a sudden, Shang Wu was stunned and asked in surprise, "Dad, what do you mean by that? You knew Zhuge Liang kept bullying me recently, right?"
"Hm! Of course I know. Moreover, I asked Zhuge Liang to discipline you!" Shang Ling snorted.
Shang Wu was dumbfounded on the spot.
What the hell?
My father asked other people to beat me up?
Damn! Is he really my father?
"I'm always too soft hearted and can't punish you strictly. However, my young friend Zhuge is different. He has abundant experience being beaten up, so he can definitely discipline you for me efficiently! You tell me, several days ago you said you would work harder on cultivating. However, you went outside to drink and disappeared the next morning! Shame on you! I'm ashamed of you!" Shang Ling became angrier as he spoke. He thought his son would be different after Xu Que's rectification. However, it seemed Shang Wu hadn't changed at all.
It finally dawned on Shang Wu why his father had chosen to perform secluded cultivation when he was beaten up.
No wonder Zhuge Liang dared to hit him! His father had entrusted Zhuge Liang to do so!
Damn! Zhuge Liang, you're so cruel! How dare you trick my father?
However, today you can't go anywhere! You aren't the only one who can act! I'm also good at it!
Flop!
Shang Wu dropped to his knees in front of Shang Ling, his eyes filled with tears.
"Dad, I've been unfilial! I failed to live up to your expectations!" he cried remorsefully, as if his true feelings were being revealed.
Actually, his tears were true. The memory of his humiliation by Xu Que and Buttface would always make him cry.
Shang Wu was stunned instantly. Apparently, he hadn't expected Shang Wu could be like this.
Look at his tears and attitude! He's totally changed now!
Could… it be that this unfilial son is really showing repentance?
Shang Ling's heart trembled. His eyes were also slightly wet, and his hands were shivering. It seemed the arrival of his happiness was unexpected.
"Dad, I know I was wrong before! Actually, General Zhuge has taught me many major principles in recent days. However, I thought he was just bullying me. Therefore, only revenge was left on my mind. Now, I know the truth, and I've been awakened! It was so discerning and apprehending!" Shang Wu continued to make a pitiful plea that was reasonable and well argued.
After all, he had witnessed Xu Que's shameless acting on the spot for several times. Therefore, he had also acquired some surface knowledge of acting.
Touched, Shang Ling thought his son must have changed this time, because what he said was true. It seemed that he really planned to change himself.
I should extend my gratitude to General Zhuge and the Exploding Heavens Faction!
"Good! Good! Very good! Just stand up, don't kneel!" Shang Ling wept bitterly. Although he was a Sect Leader and a powerhouse at the Infant Transformation Stage, now he was just a warbling old man who was lifting up his child.
Anyone would be moved by this scene. Every parent in this world would be admirable!
However, Shang Wu turned a blind eye to the scene. He chuckled to himself that his plot had been carried out successfully.
With tears on his face, he stood up slowly and said, "Dad, I hope General Zhuge will continue to spur me on and prevent me from falling onto the wrong path! Could you ask him to stay?"
"I…" Shang Ling hesitated.
"Dad, I was informed that General Zhuge is heading for the Imperial City. Nothing urgent happened in the Imperial City, so we could ask him to stay here another day! Just one more day. I want to learn from General Zhuge for one last day!" Shang Wu said resolutely, like a diligent student.
Shang Ling nodded with exclamation, "Okay, we'll go together to urge General Zhuge to stay!"
"Sure!" Shang Wu nodded immediately with a cold smile.
…
At the same time, Xu Que and Buttface had arrived at the Teleportation Device in the Snow City's downtown area.
Before, Situ Hai Tang had said she wouldn't come, but she came to see them off.
After all, this might have been the last time she would meet Xu Que, or she would have to wait for a very long time to see him again.
She was a little reluctant. This weird feeling made her uncomfortable.
"Xu Que, remember my words, keep a low profile overseas, and come back alive!" Situ Hai Tang exhorted Xu Que again.
"I know, and I have immortalized your words here!" Xu Que smiled by pointing at his heart.
Situ Hai Tang also smiled elegantly and nodded her head, "Take care!"
"You also take care! Remember, if I'm not back after you escape your marriage, do come overseas to find me!"
Situ Hai Tang nodded slightly again and said nothing. It seemed she didn't want to promise anything to Xu Que. However, her body betrayed her.
"Farewell!"
Xu Que waved his hand, then turned around and stepped on the Teleportation Device.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, two beams of light flew from the sky and landed in a place not far away.
"My young friend Zhuge, please wait a moment!" Shang Ling walked over rapidly as he shouted excitedly.
Seeing Shang Ling, Xu Que widened his eyes immediately.
Holy sh*t! Is the old guy going to avenge his son now?
"My young friend Zhuge, thank you so much! Thanks to your methods, my unfilial son has been totally awakened and returned to the fold!" Shang Ling walked up directly and said gratefully. He almost burst into tears again.
Hearing that, Xu Que was confused.
What the hell?
Shang Wu has returned to the fold?
Are you kidding me?
There was no way to save that guy! If he could return to the fold, a cow could jump over the moon! Nobody would believe that!
However, Xu Que still smiled modestly and said while waving his hand, "Please, don't mention it. I just did the best that I could."
"You're too modest, my young friend. This time, I owe you a lot! In the future, if there's anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask! By the way, I've heard you're leaving for the Imperial City. Is there anything I can do for you?" Shang Ling asked.
Xu Que shook his head calmly, "You're welcome, Sect Leader Shang! I have nothing important in the Imperial City. I just want to go back to have a look."
He didn't want to reveal his plans for going overseas. After all, Shang Ling was just an acquaintance.
Hearing that, Shang Ling was very delighted, "Wonderful! Actually, I have a presumptuous request. Just now, my son told me at home that he wants to learn more from you, even just one day more! Could you stay here just a little bit longer?"
Shang Wu also walked up hurriedly, then said while clasping his hands sincerely, "Exactly! General Zhuge, I misunderstood you before! I hope you could be generous and stay here to teach me. Please keep spurring me on!"

535 I Need Someone to Bully Me, Otherwise, I’ll Feel Uncomfortable
Chapter 535: I Need Someone to Bully Me, Otherwise, I’ll Feel Uncomfortable
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"What?! What have I taught you? I've done nothing but bully you for the last five days." Xu Que was surprised.
I know your helpers are going to arrive here tomorrow, and you want me to stay here so you can get your revenge!
"No, no, no, you're being too modest. In the last few days, I've learned a lot from you. Please stay here for one more day!" Shang Wu said seriously.
I've survived the last five days of bullying. It's fine for me to go through one more. Just be patient, he'll pay the price tomorrow.
Buttface was astonished by Shang Wu's words, as he had never seen someone asking for being bullied.
My god! I've never seen someone as shameless as he is.
"My goodness! Do you think you might be a bottom? I'm sorry to tell you I'm not gay. You should find someone else to do it for you, but still, I can give you some suggestions." Xu Que waved his hands.
Shang Wu was confused. "What suggestions?"
"Drip wax on your body!"
"What?!" Both Shang Wu and Shang Ling were confused.
Drip wax? What is this?
Situ Hai Tang, who was standing not far away was shocked by what she was seeing and hearing.
Earlier at the tea party, she had already known that Xu Que was tricking Shang Ling into letting him hit Shang Wu. Over the past few days, Shang Wu had been bullied by Xu Que in person, and now, Shang Ling had asked Xu Que to stay and hit his own son for one more day…
Something must be wrong! I know what kind of person Shang Wu is, and he wouldn't possibly admit his wrong-doings. He must be plotting something.
"In fact, I have urgent things to do in the Imperial City. Now that General Shang has already realised his mistakes, there's no need for me to stay here. General Shang, I shall say my goodbyes here," Xu Que said and was about to leave.
Xu Que knew what Shang Wu was plotting and did this on purpose to upset Shang Wu.
You want me to stay here? I won't let your wish come true.
"Please stay! General Zhuge, please stay here to bully me!" Shang Wu almost cried out.
Shang Ling was shocked by this.
What's going on with my son?
"Grow up and don't act like a child. General Zhuge has said he has something urgent to do, so we will let him go," Shang Ling criticized Shang Wu. After all, his son's actions were disgraceful.
Xu Que waved his hand. "It's fine. Don't be cross, General Shang. Your son's reaction is totally normal. One could get addicted to being bullied after he's been bullied for a few consecutive days."
Hearing this, Shang Wu thought Xu Que was going to stay and nodded. "You're perfectly right. I need someone to bully me, otherwise, I'll feel uncomfortable."
"This is…" Shang Ling was stunned.
"What the f*ck!" Buttface could no longer bear this and cursed.
Situ Hai Tang was speechless. She had never thought Shang Wu would behave like this. Earlier, she had been worried that something might happen to Xu Que if he stayed here, and now that Xu Que had made his determination to leave, she was relieved.
"General Zhuge, can you tell me what has happened to my son?" Shang Ling looked at Xu Que anxiously.
Xu Que smiled. "It's no big deal. Now that your son has grown addicted to being bullied, from today on, you should hit him once every hour and five times a day for a whole year. You shouldn't stop doing so even if he asks you to, otherwise things could get rather bad. That is quite enough for today. I should leave now. Goodbye!"
Xu Que turned around and immediately activated the teleportation array.
"I see, once an hour and five times a day for a whole year. I shall do as you say, so long as I can cure my son! Thank you so much for this, I owe you a favour again," Shang Ling thanked Xu Que, thought he was still a bit doubtful.
Will this really work?
"Father! How can you…"
Shang Wu was so angry that he almost passed out.
Zhuge Liang, f*ck you!
"My son! What happened to you?"
Shang Wu turned around and saw his son almost passing out and hurriedly supported him with his hands.
"General Shang, just hit him, hurry!" Xu Que's voice came out from the rotating teleportation array.
Hearing this, Shang Ling hurriedly hit his son right in the stomach.
Bang!
Shang Wu felt extreme pain and instantly opened his eyes.
"General Zhuge was right! It really worked! Thank you!" Shang Ling turned around and thanked Xu Que, but he found that Xu Que and Buttface had already left.
"General Zhuge is such a nice person. You have to thank him, my son. Come, let me hit you a few more times," Shang Ling said.
Although he felt this practice was a bit strange, when he saw his son's reactions after he was hit, he decided it was worth a try.
"Father! I'm fine now!"
"Don't be ridiculous! You look so pale!"
Shang Ling hit his son's stomach again.
Bang!
Shang Wu's whole body curled up. He was in great pain and couldn't even say a word.
It is because you're hitting me, otherwise, my face wouldn't be as pale as a sheet.
Father, what's wrong with you?! How can you believe that b*stard's words?!
Shang Wu almost wanted to cry, but he felt his tears had all dried up.
It's my own fault, why on earth did I say those silly things earlier!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shang Ling was still hitting his son… Shang Wu was furious, but he couldn't explain to his father why he had said those silly words.
F*ck you! Zhuge Liang, even if you make it back to the Imperial City, you're not going to survive tomorrow.
…
Situ Hai Tang was laughing very hard. In case she was seen by Shang Ling, she hid in a corner and covered her mouth with hands.
She had been greatly impressed by Xu Que this time.
He has such a sharp tongue! He could even kill someone with his words if he wanted to.
Thinking of how Shang Wu was going to be hit by his father for the following year, Situ Hai Tang felt extremely happy.
"Xu Que, be careful! Come back alive, please!" Situ Hai Tang looked at the teleportation array and murmured. Then she turned around and left.

536 The Ancient Teleportation Device
Chapter 536: The Ancient Teleportation Device
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Snow City was located at the border of the Water Nation, which was quite far away from the Imperial City.
Even though Xu Que and Buttface had used a teleportation device in the Snow City, they had to use other teleportation devices in the ancient cities along the way. Finally, they arrived in the Imperial City early morning of the next day.
"Haha, here we are, at last! Little brat, this time you played a good trick on that Shang Wu! I can only use two words to describe you—awesome!" Buttface said excitedly when they had just arrived. On the way, Buttface kept telling Xu Que that he did a good job teasing Shang Wu.
"That's only one word! Enough, stop wasting your words, let's hurry to the Imperial Palace to find Hongyan and check when we should depart." Xu Que patted Buttface's head and headed for the Imperial Palace immediately.
He needed an exact time of departure so that he could promote his strength on schedule. For example, he wanted to top the layers of the newly-purchased People Killing Sword and the People Killing Book, which would guarantee his safety in the overseas area.
However, when they arrived at the Imperial Palace, they found the development of things was not as smooth as they had expected!
"What's going on? Why did Hongyan leave first? She promised to wait for me!" Xu Que asked Zi Xuan in schock.
Xu Que and Buttface didn't find the Water Empress in the Imperial Palace. Zi Xuan came to tell them that the Water Empress had left half a month earlier and headed overseas in advance.
"Xu, you aren't allowed to call my sister's name directly! She left in advance because of an urgent issue. You should blame yourself for your late arrival! Why did you go back to the Fire Nation? You went back to meet that Madam Ya, right?" Zi Xuan questioned Xu Que angrily, widening her eyes.
When he had killed the Fire Emperor, Zi Xuan had also been a witness, and she knew Li Bai was a disguise of Xu Que's. Therefore, she understood clearly the relationship between Xu Que and Madam Ya.
Xu Que shook his head earnestly and said justly and severely, "Are you kidding? Am I a man like that? When you say these words, is your conscience even there? Come here, let me see your conscience!"
"Hm! I would never do that! Before her departure, my sister told me you could take an Ancient Teleportation Device. Also, she left a letter for you!" As Zi Xuan spoke, she took out a letter from her Storage Ring.
Receiving the letter, Xu Que didn't open it immediately, but asked confusedly, "What Ancient Teleportation Device are you talking about?"
"Hm, you don't know it, right?" Zi Xuan said proudly with a flash of cunning in her eyes. "It seems the Five Nations covers a big area. Actually, it's just a lonely island in a vast sea! Anyone who wants to go to other continents overseas, like the East Continent, has to go across this vast sea! And it's impossible to cover it with ordinary teleportation devices or by riding a flying sword."
"Oh, I see! You really know a lot!" Xu Que said embarrassedly. In fact, he had learned this long ago.
"Of course!" Zi Xuan thought Xu Que didn't know, so she continued to talk proudly. After all, these issues were inaccessible to ordinary people.
"Then you're awesome! However, I want to know about the Ancient Teleportation Device!" Xu Que said bashfully.
"Just now, I told you that you couldn't go across the vast sea with ordinary teleportation devices. Some powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage tried to fly across the vast sea by riding a flying sword. However, after hundreds of years, they still couldn't find a continent and had to return the way they came. However, the Ancient Teleportation Device is different! It is said that this device came from ancient times and could be used to go across the vast sea. Among the Five Nations' several sects, only the Water Nation has an Ancient Teleportation Device. It's unknown to most people." Zi Xuan explained proudly.
Hearing this, Buttface, who was not convinced, said disdainfully, "Boo, it's just an advanced teleportation device! It's funny that you call it an Ancient Teleportation Device! Moreover, it's not as you said, that no one can go across the vast sea. The cultivation level of people in the Five Elements Mountain is too low to go across the vast sea. The Five Elements Mountain is so small that it's very difficult for people overseas to find this place. Therefore, no people from overseas used to fly here before."
Xu Que suddenly realized—it was no wonder that no cultivators from overseas had arrived in this area for so many years! Also, no powerhouse in this area could go overseas. The reason was the inconvenient transportation!
However, viewed from this angle, the Scarlet Yang Sect was quite remarkable, for they also had an Ancient Teleportation Device. Otherwise, how could Shang Wu's aunt come from overseas? How could Shang Wu ask for reinforcement from overseas?
"Hum, what I said is still correct! I'm done with you. Xu, my sister has other things for you to do that were written in that letter, just read it!" After Buttface's explanation, Zi Xuan was embarrassed, so she left hurriedly.
Buttface was quite proud and stood there with his chest out and jaw squared, like a rooster which had just won a cockfight.
Xu Que said disdainfully, "Buttface, I have to say you were too rude! Zi Xuan is such a lovely girl, couldn't you have just behaved yourself and shown her due respect?"
"Sh*t, little Brat! You aren't qualified to say that to me!" Buttface said immediately, widening his eyes.
Xu Que smiled coldly, "It's been a long time since I beat you up last! It seems you miss it!"
Buttface felt a coldness on his neck, so he shouted hurriedly, "Just ignore the details! Come on, just read the letter left by the Water Empress! Maybe it's a love letter!"
A love letter? Are you kidding me? You can't change the subject with such a lousy excuse!
Xu Que couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth! What Buttface had said was really outrageous.
Knowing Jiang Hongyan's personality, she would write a love letter when hell froze over!
However, he still opened the letter, wanting to know what message the Water Empress had left him.
…
However, after a short while, Xu Que put away the letter and sighed slightly.
It isn't a love letter, as expected!
Although the Water Empress hadn't said much in the letter, the information she provided was quite critical.
After all, overseas, Xu Que would be a stranger in a strange place. The Water Empress had said she had to leave earlier because of urgent issues, and had asked Xu Que to go overseas alone by taking the Ancient Teleportation Device.
This Ancient Teleportation Device only led to the East Continent. Therefore, when Xu Que arrived, he was asked to find a hotel of the name Bright Moon Hotel. He was told to live in that hotel until the Water Empress came to him after handling her issues. After that, they could go to the South Continent to find Duan Jiude together.
The rest of the words left by the Water Empress were nothing but asking Xu Que to keep a low profile overseas and exercise patience to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The Five Elements Mountain was sealed. People's strengths were confined, and the Spiritual Qi in this area was also deficient. Therefore, the cultivation level of cultivators in the Five Elements Mountain was always low.
Cultivators from overseas had complete magic arts, and most of them had strengthened their physiques, which were quite powerful! In case Xu Que offended people with impressive backgrounds, it was highly probable for him to be pursued by many powerhouses, even super powerhouses at the Void Training or Form Synthesis Stages!
Xu Que had kept these issues in mind, for the Geoduck of the Sea Tribe had told him the same story.
However, Xu Que finally realized why he couldn't sense the real strength of the Water Empress. The reason was that she had come from overseas, and her strength had been confined in the Five Elements Mountain!
Therefore, together with the consideration of the strength of the Sea Tribe, Xu Que finally figured out something!
In the Five Elements Mountain, he might be invincible.
However, if he went overseas, he could have been just above average or top-notch among the cultivators at the same cultivation level.
However, it might have been extremely difficult for him to keep killing opponents at the same cultivation level instantly, or to kill opponent whose cultivation level was higher than his without the assistance of magic artifacts.
"Alas, for such a long time, as the King of Acting Tough, I kept eliminating my enemies easily, and I slacked off unconsciously and forgot to enhance my cultivation level!" Xu Que sighed while shaking his head. It was quite rare for him to be introspective like this.
Buttface patted Xu Que's shoulder and consoled him, "Little brat, don't underestimate yourself! I've been living for such a long time, and among all the geniuses I've met, you could barely be in the top ten. However, as far as shamelessness, you are absolutely number one, and nobody does it better than you!"
Bang!
All of a sudden, Xu Que swung his palm at Buttface's forehead.
"Buttface, you'd better shut up, otherwise, I'll leave without you! Oh, Hongyan said in her letter that the Ancient Teleportation Device is in her bedroom. Good, let's go and look… No! Let's go and have a look!"

537 The Helpers from the Gong Family Finally Came
Chapter 537: The Helpers from the Gong Family Finally Came
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In fact, it wasn't the first time for Xu Que to go to the Water Empress's bedroom.
The last time he had been there, he hadn't seen any Ancient Teleportation Device. From the letter, Xu Que knew that in the bedroom, there was a secret room where there was an Ancient Teleportation Device that led to the East Continent.
This Ancient Teleportation Device was even older than the Palace. More precisely, the entire Palace had been built around the Ancient Teleportation Device.
This was a big secret that only few knew about, and obviously, the Water Empress trusted Xu Que, that was why she told him about it.
The switch to enter the secret room was hidden in a common bookshelf. Xu Que found the switch and gently moved it. The next minute, the bookshelf slid to one side. Due to the protection array, the sound of the moving bookshelf was silent.
Xu Que and Buttface then walked into the secret room.
Inside the secret room, there was only a huge round Spiritual Stone on the ground. It looked like a staircase that was covered with many peculiar array patterns.
"Is this the so-called Ancient Teleportation Device?" Xu Que was a bit surprised. He had thought the Ancient Teleportation Device would be something more imposing and complex…
The Ancient Teleportation Device was even simpler than a normal Teleportation Device, and the patterns on it were the same as those on the floor in the Imperial Tomb of the Fire Nation. The difference was that the patterns there could only be used one time, while the patterns on the Ancient Teleportation Device would never disappear once they were carved on its surface. To activate it, one had to use a Spiritual Stone of top quality.
"I feel like I've seen this Ancient Teleportation Device before, like the one I made when I was young!" Buttface suddenly said, beginning to check it.
If he's telling the truth, then he must have lived for thousands of years!
"F*ck! I can't remember it clearly!" Buttface looked as if he was thinking really hard, and Xu Que could tell that he wasn't lying.
Xu Que didn't say anything. Buttface had too many secrets, and he was not able to be seen through. His body was extremely powerful, and he could easily lose his memories.
"If you can't recall it, then don't think about it. Now that we've found the Ancient Teleportation Device, we should leave and make some preparations for our departure. We should inform the three thousand soldiers of the Snow City and tell them to go back to the Snow City, then we'll head to the Eastern Continent tonight."
Xu Que was full of anticipation about his approaching journey to the Eastern City, since he finally had the opportunity to act tough and show his strength to more people.
…
Meanwhile, outside the Snow City...
The void of a certain area twisted, and a few figures appeared.
They all frowned, looking rather indifferent.
They looked around and showed their disgust.
Among them, a young man of the Infant Transformation Stage said coldly, "I have been told by Shang Wu that the Spiritual Qi here in the Five Element Mountain is rather weak compared to that in the Eastern Continent. I don't know, this place is just disappointing."
"Third Master, you are quite right. This is not the perfect place to cultivate at all. Besides, this place is under the restriction of a seal. Even our strength is restricted to a certain degree. We should finish our business and go back as soon as possible," an old man of the Infant Transformation Stage said and smiled.
The young man nodded gently and headed towards the Snow City.
All of a sudden, the Spiritual Qi given out from their bodies quickly spread into the city.
Everyone except Shang Wu was surprised, so Shang Wu happily walked out of the city to greet them.
"Cousin! You are finally here!" he welcomed the young man with great excitement.
The young man smiled. "We made our departure as soon as we received your letter. When you were in the Gong Family, you always said that the Snow City was a piece of crap, but even so, you still wanted to come back here. So I came here to see why you still choose to come back when you know it's not ideal. Forgive me, but I have to say this place is, indeed, a piece of crap."
"Cousin, I only miss Situ Hai Tang, not this sh*thole! When I get married to her, I'll go back to the Gong Family." Shang Wu forced out a smile.
The young man nodded. "Let's get down to the real business. You mentioned a young man called Zhuge Liang who wanted to destroy our Scarlet Yang Sect, where is he now?"
"Cousin, that Zhuge Liang is as treacherous as a fox! After he heard I asked for help from the Gong Family, he ran away to the Imperial City immediately. I'm sorry to say that my father has been tricked by him and still thinks he is a nice man." Shang Wu shook his head.
The young man frowned. "So you mean we have to go to the Imperial City?"
"But we'd better not tell my father. He would definitely stop us if he knew about this," Shang Wu complained.
"Don't worry, I know what we should do. Don't say anything, no matter what I say later. Anyway, anyone who dares to bully you is my enemy, whether he intends to destroy the Scarlet Yang Sect or not. I will kill him, you can count on me for that."
After a while, Shang Ling hurriedly came and was surprised to see the young man.
"Xiao Feng, why on earth are you here? You came back with your mother?"
The young man, Gong Feng, bowed to Shang Ling and replied, "My dear uncle, my mother hasn't come with me this time. We came here today to help you to bring the Scarlet Yang Sect out of danger."
"Bringing the Scarlet Yang Sect out of danger? What are you talking about?" Shang Ling was stunned, with no idea what was going on.
Then Gong Feng began to elaborate on what had transpired between him and Shang Wu.
"Shang Wu! How dare you! How dare you!"
"Father! You've been tricked by Zhuge Liang! He had bullied me for the last few days, and even said he would take Situ Hai Tang away from me and destroy our Scarlet Yang Sect!" Shang Wu said angrily.
"You…" Shang Ling was so angry that he couldn't even say one more word.
He had thought his son had changed for the better, but he was still the same person who always asked for help from the Gong Family whenever he was in trouble. This time, he had never thought his son would ask the Gong Family to send people there and waste tons of Spiritual Stones to do so…
"Uncle, please calm down. Let me deal with this business alone. Believe me, I'll try to find out what has really happened before I make any move," Gong Feng smiled and said calmly.

538 I’ve Heard that You’re Looking for Me!
Chapter 538: I’ve Heard that You’re Looking for Me!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing this, Shang Ling softened his face a bit and said calmly, "Little Feng, you know the personality of your cousin, who's fond of eating and averse to work, but always seeking to prevail over others. I know clearly what's been happening these days. Also, I asked my young friend Zhuge to discipline Shang Wu, so that he could face reality and catch up! You should never wrong a good person!"
"What uncle said is right, I understood!" Gong Feng replied calmly by nodding his head.
"It'll be fine in this way! How has your mother been recently?" Shang Ling let out a sigh of relief and started to ask about the life of his younger sister overseas. After all, he hadn't seen her for a long time.
Gong Feng said with a smile, "My mother is in the secluded cultivation. Later, an home in the South Continent will be built. The Gong Family will participate in the housewarming, and my mother also wants to go there…"
They chatted while walking and finally settled down in the Snow City.
…
In the evening, Shang Wu came to Gong Feng's room of secretly.
"Cousin, I have information that Zhuge Liang settled down in the Imperial Palace directly after his arrival in the Imperial City. Shall we go now?" Shang Wu said furtively in fear that his words would be heard by Shang Ling.
While nodding his head, Gong Feng said calmly, "Let's finish this quickly. I also want to know how a young man could reach Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage in this place, where Spiritual Qi is so sparse."
"Fine!" Shang Wu said delightedly.
Under the cover of Gong Feng's Soul Strength, both of them left the mansion quietly together with several powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage, then they left for the Imperial City directly by taking the teleportation device.
…
At this moment, Xu Que, who was in the Imperial City, had mobilized the three thousand Snow City soldiers and asked them to pack up and leave for the Snow City for special training.
"You will work hard in training! In the future, all of you will have the chance to join the Exploding Heavens Faction!" Xu Que said to the soldiers.
After all, the Exploding Heavens Faction had become legendary, which was mysterious and attractive to many people.
However, the soldiers of the Snow City were shocked.
"General Zhuge, we also want to join the Exploding Heavens Faction. However, if we return to the Snow City now, who will take care of the Wanda Mall?" a soldier asked immediately.
In this period, the Spirit Stones earned by the soldiers by running the Wanda Mall was astonishingly astronomical.
"If we continue business, it's highly likely that we could become the most powerful Chamber of Commerce in the Five Nations! Wouldn't it be a pity and a waste for us to give up now?"
"Waste? That's not going to happen!" Xu Que smiled. "We've earned enough Spirit Stones. Also, I've decided that these Spirit Stones will be used for your training, which was also confirmed by General Situ! It should be clear that if we aren't powerful enough, no matter how many Spirit Stones we have earned, they will be useless! And if we are truly powerful, Spirit Stones will be the last thing we worry about in the future!"
Hearing his words, the Snow City soldiers became speechless immediately.
The scene of Xu Que taking them to search for others' houses and confiscating properties, leaving only one needle and a piece thread, came to the minds of the soldiers. Therefore, they figured out the meaning of Xu Que's words immediately.
With strength, they would never be in shortage of Spirit Stones. When they ran low on Spirit Stones, they could just go search someone's house and confiscate their property.
"Okay, just pack up and get ready to head out!" Xu Que urged the soldiers to leave and take part in the training as soon as possible.
Someone asked, "General Zhuge, what should we tell the customers, especially those who have obtained membership cards? Recently, business has been quite good! Many people have placed orders for burgers and ice cream!"
"It doesn't matter. You just leave and let me handle these issues!" Xu Que left directly, waving his hand.
Soon, it grew dark outside.
The Snow City soldiers had left, so it was very quiet in the Wanda Mall.
Xu Que hung a plaque on the gate that said, "The landlord is celebrating, we hereby suspend business indefinitely!"
Then he escaped directly.
He knew this place would be chaos the next day! Running away was the best choice for him!
However, when he returned to the Imperial Palace and was about to leave with Buttface by taking the Ancient Teleportation Device, a magnificent Soul Strength descended from the sky abruptly and scanned the entire Imperial Palace.
"What? I sense powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage." Xu Que frowned when he had just stepped into the Imperial Palace.
He had sensed there was more than one powerhouse at the Infant Transformation Stage who was quite powerful!
"It seems Shang Wu's reinforcements have arrived!" Xu Que figured out the reason immediately.
Late in the night, no local powerhouses would scan the Imperial Palace. Therefore, it must have been people from outside! After all, it would provoke the Water Empress!
However, the Water Empress had left, leaving only two or three Generals of the Imperial Guards and Xu Que to defend the Imperial Palace.
All the Generals were startled, so they rushed out with their troops.
"Show yourself! How dare you sneak into the Imperial Palace?" one General shouted. However, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, for he was suffocated by the Soul Strength. These intruders were undoubtedly powerful!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Six figures instantly. landed in the Imperial Palace from the sky
Five of them were in the Infant Transformation Stage. The last one, who was in the Original Infant Stage, was quite familiar.
The same General shouted in surprise, "General Shang, why are you here?"
"Heh, why not? I doubt Zhuge Liang committed treason! Just ask him to come out!" Shang Wu smiled coldly. With the protection of five powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage, he was so confident that he even dared to scold a General of the Imperial Guards.
"You…" the General was very angry and about to say something.
Suddenly, bang! The General was blown off the ground abruptly. His chest collapsed as if he had been hit by something heavy. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and promptly passed out on the ground.
"Cousin, you'll only degrade yourself by speaking to these men!" Gong Feng said indifferently.
At this moment, the rest of the people in the area found the young man who had talked just now was lowering his arm slowly.
All at once, people figured out what happened and were incredibly shocked.
Without physical contact, a powerful General of the Imperial Guards at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage had been knocked unconscious by someone in the air!
How… could this be possible?
It was quite clear that the young man who was talking was also at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage. How could the strength difference between two cultivators at the same level be so large?
"No wonder you're one of the candidates for Holy Son of the Gong Family! You're so powerful that the position of Holy Son will definitely be yours in the future!" Shang Wu flattered Gong Feng immediately.
Gong Feng shook his head with a faint smile, "This generation of sovereigns of the Gong Family is quite powerful! Maybe I'll be qualified to strive for the position of the Holy Son after reaching the Void Training Stage."
The Void Training Stage?
Hearing that, the rest of the Generals and Imperial Guards were wet with cold sweat.
What kind of family is this Gong Family? How could the position of Holy Son only be qualified for by people in the Void Training Stage?
"Okay, stop wasting time! Just kill all of them! I don't believe Zhuge Liang can hide forever!" Gong Feng said indifferently, his impatience showing on his face.
"Yes, sir!" the four elders at the Infant Transformation Stage replied immediately.
They rushed out and were about to start the slaughter.
Boom!
Just at this moment, lightning flashed across the sky.
The next moment, ripples appeared in the void behind Gong Feng. Then a sharp sword was thrust out and placed on Gong Feng's throat.
"Eh, I've heard that you're looking for me!"
Xu Que's figure became clearer behind Gong Feng, and his face was filled with an innocent smile.

539 I Have Said That I Will Kill You, Then I Will Kill You
Chapter 539: I Have Said That I Will Kill You, Then I Will Kill You
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"General Zhuge?"
All of a sudden, everyone present was shocked.
No one thought that General Zhuge would appear so unexpectedly and put a sword against Gong Feng's throat.
Gong Feng, who was extremely powerful, had been easily caught by Xu Que, which was almost unbelievable.
Compared to Gong Feng, General Zhuge, who was also in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage, seemed more powerful.
Seeing this, the soldiers and other leaders all felt very pleased, while Shang Wu was totally stunned; he had never thought his powerful cousin would be so easily caught by Zhuge Liang.
Xu Que had used his Killer God's Single Stroke, which was a magic inscription that killers used most often. It was not only powerful, but also very quick.
After all, Gong Feng was a cultivator from overseas and couldn't be killed by the Killer God's Single Stroke, since it wasn't fully developed. But still, Xu Que could use it to help him to get close to Gong Feng.
"So you're Zhuge Liang?" Gong Feng asked calmly.
He wasn't afraid at all, even if he could lose his life at any minute. Obviously, he was mentally strong.
Xu Que sneered, "You were sent by the Gong Family then. I thought there were more of you, but you think you can win me just like this?"
Gong Feng also sneered. "Yes, I admit I underestimated you. I never thought I would find someone as young as you who's so powerful. Even so, I dare to say you don't have the balls to hurt me!"
"You're talking nonsense! Why do you think I don't have the balls to hurt you?"
Xu Que knew he had said it so simply because he knew he was under the protection of the Gong Family, which was quite influential.
The four old men of the Infant Transformation Stage all sneered.
"Zhuge Liang, do you have any idea what you're doing? Let our Third Master go!"
"Let our Third Master go immediately! We can sit down and discuss this!"
"You're still very young, don't make mistakes that you will be terribly sorry for later."
…
Hearing this, Xu Que began to laugh hard. He shook his head and smiled.
"I won't let him go!"
The old men frowned.
Normally, no one would dare to hijack the Third Master of the Gong Family, neither inside nor outside the Eastern Continent, while on the Five Element Mountain, they found this young man in front of them wasn't at all afraid of the Gong Family.
"I won't let him go, and I'm going to stab him!"
The next moment, Xu Que took out a dagger and stabbed Gong Feng's back.
The dagger penetrated through to Gong Feng's chest, and the blood flew down.
"Zhuge Liang, are you insane?!" Gong Feng was furious and shouted.
The four old men were completely shocked and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you do this!"
"Zhuge Liang, do you intend to make the entire Gong Family your enemy?"
"If you ever dare hit him again, we won't let you go! You mark my words!"
Shang Wu could no longer suppress his anger and shouted, "Zhuge Liang, let my cousin go!"
"You know what, Shang Wu, I have you to thank for inviting the Third Master of the Gong Family here. Recently, I've been thinking about exerting my influence overseas, and you've helped me in this regard!" Xu Que smiled. Then he quickly cut Gong Feng's throat with his sword.
The next moment, blood spurted out like a fountain.
Everyone watching was stunned.
The guards and the other Generals who knew Xu Que were also shocked and admired him for his determination, while the four old men from the Gong Family were terrified.
He… he cut our Third Master's throat!
Shang Wu was also terrified by what he saw, his feet trembling.
He finally realized that Zhuge Liang was a tough figure that he shouldn't offend.
This man is a lunatic! A moment ago, he was still making jokes, and the next minute, he cut my cousin's throat. How dare he do so?!
"Oops! I'm sorry, my fingers just slipped," Xu Que gently smiled.
Gong Feng didn't die immediately. Since he was in the Infant Transformation Stage, unless he was hit by an extremely powerful magic inscription, being cut wouldn't be fatal to him.
Gong Feng couldn't believe what had just happened. The Gong Family was very famous and influential in the Eastern Continent, and no one dared to get close to Gong Feng, let alone hurt him.
When he heard that Xu Que wanted to kill him to exert the influence of the Exploding Heavens Faction overseas, he couldn't believe his ears.
"Zhuge Liang! You have to think carefully before you make a move. If you kill me, all the powerful men of the Void Training Stage and the Form Synthesis Stage and my great grandfather will come to kill you. Do you still think you can win?!"
Gong Feng was a bit afraid that Xu Que really would kill him.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I can win!" Xu Que winked and smiled.
Then he cut Gong Feng's head off…
Bang!
Gong Feng's head fell right onto the ground and blood splashed everywhere.
Everyone on the spot was shocked, and no one made a sound.
The four old men and Shang Wu were all stunned and couldn't believe what had just happened.
He just killed the Third Master of the Gong Family like this?!
How could this be!
This is impossible, I must be dreaming.
"You all must be shocked, right?" Xu Que smiled at the four old men.
The next moment, he stopped smiling. "The entire Five Element Mountain is under the control of the Exploding Heavens Faction. I don't care how powerful the Gong Family is in the Eastern Continent. Remember you're here on Five Element Mountain. If you don't behave yourselves, no matter how powerful you are, I'll kill you!
"Now listen! Block the entire Palace and surround the four old men, as well as Shang Wu. Don't let any of them go!" Xu Que held up his sword and shouted.
"Yes!"
All of a sudden, the four old men and Shang Wu were surrounded by the guards and Generals.

540 I will Take Advantage of Your Suppressed Strength
Chapter 540: I will Take Advantage of Your Suppressed Strength
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The spacious platform in the square of the Imperial Palace was overcome by an awful atmosphere!
After beheading Gong Feng decisively, Xu Que had shocked everyone with his words.
Being motivated by Xu Que's words, all the Imperial Guards and Generals rushed up and surrounded the four elders and Shang Wu with murderous looks on their faces.
The four elders were panicking. This time, they had to deal not only with Gong Feng's troubles, but also protect him.
However, none of them had expected a cultivator in the Five Elements Mountain could be so reckless as to kill the third Young Master of the Gong Family!
As a matter of fact, this was also due to the negligence of the Gong Family.
As a big family overseas, they knew nothing about the Five Elements Mountain except for that it was a small, deserted place with a mysterious seal and sparse Spiritual Qi. The cultivation levels of all the cultivators in this area, including the Sect Leader of the Scarlet Yang Sect, were falsely high. However, they were just weaklings, no match for overseas cultivators.
Therefore, they sent several powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage who they thought would be enough to defeat any powerhouse in the Five Elements Mountain. And no powerhouses in the Void Training Stage were dispatched.
But now, it turned out that they had made a mistake. Indeed, most cultivators in the Five Elements Mountain were weak. However, they had encountered Xu Que, a powerful and reckless heretic who acted arbitrarily without considering the consequences.
After killing Gong Feng, he still wanted to kill the rest of them.
"Zhuge Liang, you… are doomed! The Gong Family will keep hunting you until your death!" the elders of the Gong Family came to themselves and shouted angrily.
"Anyone who is related to you will face the most formidable revenge of the Gong Family!"
"You have nowhere to hide yourself from the Gong Family!"
…
Their yelling resounded in the Imperial Palace, startling many people.
Even Zi Xuan ran out, and her face was pale when she saw the headless body on the ground.
"Xu, what did you do this time?" Zi Xuan asked while delivering a message to Xu Que.
"Nothing, I'm killing several thieves. You just go back to sleep. Later, it will be bloody here, inappropriate for little kid to watch!" Xu Que turned around and replied with a smile.
Zi Xuan frowned immediately, "Just now I heard the Gong Family. Are these people from overseas?"
Whoosh!
However, Xu Que disappeared right at that moment.
Xu Que took the newly-purchased People Killing Sword and People Killing Book with him, and replaced the sword in his hand with the Dark Heavy Buster Sword. He gave a play of the Genuine"Six Corporeal Forms instantly. Then the four elders in the Infant Transformation Stage were covered by numerous inky sword shadows.
The overwhelming and violent force, which covered the sky and the earth, pressed towards the four elders abruptly.
"Take him down!" the elders yelled frantically and fought back with their magic arts.
They knew they would be severely punished by the Gong Family for their failure to protect Gong Feng. Therefore, they could only save their lives by capturing the murderer and taking him back to the Gong Family.
Boom!
The four elders in the Infant Transformation Stage who had come from overseas attacked simultaneously. Their earthshaking magic arts were so dazzling that even the Imperial Palace, which was in the gloom of night, was entirely lit up.
However, the highest cultivation level among them was Level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage. Their physiques, which had been strengthened with ordinary arts, were not as strong as the Sea Tribe. Therefore, they were quite vulnerable in the face of Xu Que's magic arts.
After all, this time, the Genuine"Six Corporeal Forms used by Xu Que was a genuine Star-Rank magic art. Its strength had been remarkably enhanced by the twofold strength bonus of the People Killing Sword, which he had obtained by killing Gong Feng just now.
Rumble!
The boundless sword shadows fell, triggering a big explosion. All the bricks and stones on the ground of the Imperial Place were shattered by the explosion, which also broke apart the magic arts of the four elders and knocked them back forcefully.
"Crush Magic Arts with Overwhelming Strength? How could this be possible?" one elder said in terror.
They couldn't believe a cultivator in the Five Elements Mountain could use such a formidable magic art, with a physique so strong that their magic arts were broken by his brutal force.
"This is not Crush Magic Arts with Overwhelming Strength! You should call it Create Miracle with Tremendous Strength! Just die!" Xu Que snorted. At the same time, he gave a play of the Walk of Yu and created bolts of lightning.
Bang! He broke the sound barrier, which led to a deafening noise in the air. He rushed up and swung down the Dark Heavy Buster Sword abruptly.
Boom!
The Genuine"Flame Devouring Wave created formless airwaves that slashed one elder into two directly.
"What?" the rest three elders were shocked immediately.
What… is this formidable force?
How could it be so powerful?
"Alas, you are too weak! Your magic arts are okay, however, compared to the Sea Tribe, you're far behind in magic arts and physique!" Xu Que sighed and shook his head.
He had thought these elders would be very powerful. However, they were still no match for the Geoduck of the Sea Tribe!
Hearing the name "Sea Tribe," the other three elders were stunned immediately. "Did you also kill a person from the Sea Tribe?"
"That's right! I killed several people of the Sea Tribe a few days ago, and they were cooked and eaten by us. They were quite chewy!" Xu Que smiled slightly.
Hearing that, the three elders' faces darkened. Then they made eye contact.
One of them said in a low voice, "We should avoid close combat with him, for we really are at a disadvantage!"
"Exactly, the Sea Tribe people, who are born with strong physiques, were even killed by him. Our advantage lies in our magic arts, so we will avoid close combat!"
"Unfortunately, our strength is greatly suppressed in this place, so our magic arts aren't powerful at all! Those who have a strong physique would have an advantage here!"
…
Hearing that, Xu Que was stunned. "What do you mean by that? Are you implying that you would be more powerful than me if you weren't influenced by the Seal of the Five Elements Mountain?"
One elder snorted immediately, "In this place, the physique advantage of the Sea Tribe is not suppressed, obviously. However, our advantage lies in our magic arts, which were seriously suppressed by the seal. Therefore, without the seal, we could kill you with just one move!"
"As you said, it seems it isn't fair to you!" Xu Que nodded thoughtfully.
A flash of joy appeared in the eyes of the elders. They had tried to dare Xu Que to fight in another place that wasn't influenced by the Seal of the Five Elements Mountain so that they could kill Xu Que together with their complete strength.
Hearing that, the Imperial Guards and Generals in the Imperial Palace changed their facial expressions and started to worry.
"General Zhuge, please don't listen to them! They'll be eliminated soon, you can't …" for fear that Xu Que could fall into the trap, one General shouted hurriedly.
Hardly had he finished his words when Xu Que rushed up abruptly. Whoosh!
Bang! Then, in the dazzling sword's shadows, one elder was split into two by the airwave of the inky sword before he had time to react. His blood turned into mist in the air and then evaporated.
Whoosh!
Xu Que stopped his attack and looked at the remaining two elders with a radiant smile. Then he said, "I'll take advantage of your suppressed strength! What are you going to do? Also, I always ask one question on occasions like this—are you angry? Are you angry? I just want to know whether you're angry!"

541 I Think I“m Dying
Chapter 541: I Think I'm Dying
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone at present was shocked.
What the f*ck! I thought he would fight against them fair and square. I never thought he would say things like that…
"I knew this would happen!"
Many guards and Generals forced out smiles.
You guys have no idea what kind of person General Zhuge really is. He built a Wanda Plaza and made a huge fortune from the rich with those ridiculous membership cards. You want him to have a fight fair and square? Don't be ridiculous!
"Zhuge Liang! You…!"
Two of the old men from the Gong Family were so angry that they began to tremble.
They had never been treated like this before. Wherever they went, people always showed respect to them. While on Five Element Mountain, which they considered a sh*thole, they had been bullied.
"There's no need to be so angry. You two will meet your dearest Third Master soon. Promise me you guys will live happily ever after!" Xu Que smiled and walked towards them while holding his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
Hearing this, the two old men's faces grew extremely dark, as if they were going to explode.
"I will kill you!" the two old men shouted together, and the next minute, a huge amount of True Core Strength spurted out from their palms violently. The strength, as bright and round as a moon, slowly rose up.
Bang!
The void around them caved in…
"Sh*t! You cornered us! Using this magic inscription will shorten our lifespan! If it weren't for the seal here, we would have definitely killed you!" one of the old men shouted, and blood oozed out around his mouth. It was the same for the other old man, whose face was becoming extremely pale.
The two old men made pushing movements, and the void around them immediately moved like a wave.
"What?"
Xu Que was a bit shocked and his scalp felt numb. The last time he had felt like this was when he was fighting against the Geoduck.
The entire void was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere. Xu Que didn't dare to move an inch, since he was afraid he might put himself in danger!
Could this be a magic inscription of the Star Rank? I presume it is much more powerful than the Buddha's Fiery Lotus.
System! Copy this magic inscription with 'Phaseless Magic!'
"Ding! The rank of Phaseless Magic is too low to copy this magic inscription!" the System replied.
"I knew it! It's a magic inscription of the Star Rank!"
Phaseless Magic could only be used to copy a certain magic inscription at the Celestial Rank or lower.
Compared to the Sea Tribe, human cultivators were weaker in terms of body toughness, while in regards to practicing magic inscriptions, human cultivators were much more powerful.
The seal here in the Five Element Mountain could greatly restrict a cultivator's ability to practice the magic inscription, which was why the old men of the Gong Family thought it was totally unfair.
"Luckily, I am not stupid enough to declare a war with them outside the Five Element Mountain, otherwise, I would have been badly injured."
If it weren't for the help of his Killer Sword and Killer Book and the restriction of the seal, he could beat people in the fifth or sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage at most.
This time, he had been confronted by four old men in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage and a young man in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage.
In fact, if the seal hadn't existed at all, Xu Que would have instantly run away using a Divine Tracking Emblem.
Everyone present was extremely terrified, as were the guards of the Original Infant Stage, or Golden Core Stage. One was so afraid that he even knelt down.
Zi Xuan's face was extremely pale. If it weren't for the protection given by the guard who stood next to her, she would have already fainted.
"F*ck! If I really make the Water Empress my girlfriend, then Zi Xuan will be my relative! You two old buzzards, how dare you frighten her!"
Xu Que was annoyed and the True Core Strength inside his body was activated.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A huge amount of True Core Strength was raging inside his body and quickly moving around his veins.
"Genuine"Six Corporeal Forms!"
Bang!
Something exploded in the air. Suddenly, an enormous shadow appeared and blocked the light.
"Genuine"Flame Devouring Wave!"
Thousands of Form shadows aimed at the two old men and fell upon them.
In the past, Xu Que ever tried to combine two magic inscriptions, and it reached to a pretty good result, but this was the first time he had combined Genuine"Flame Devouring Wave with Genuine"Six Corporeal Forms.
"Burn in hell!" Xu Que shouted.
Bang!
All of a sudden, a magnificent air current exploded in the void.
The energy of Xu Que's magic inscription and those of the two old men bumped into each other, creating an extremely powerful energy.
The ferocious air current hit both Xu Que and the two old men. All of them were thrown into the air.
Xu Que, covered in blood, fell onto the ground so hard that the earth cracked, while the two old men turned to ashes in the explosion wave and vanished.
…
Seeing this, no one made any sound.
So this is General Zhuge's real strength? And is every cultivator overseas this powerful?
"Xu Que!" Zi Xuan yelled and dashed towards Xu Que.
"System! Heal me!"
Although Xu Que was badly injured, he was still sane.
His body was covered with numerous wounds, big and small, and he looked rather scary.
Zi Xuan was shocked by what she saw. Her face went pale immediately. She covered her mouth, her eyes watering.
"Zi Xuan, I think I'm dying. But before I die, I hope… hope you can help make my last wish come true."
Zi Xuan was crying like a child. She knew she disliked Xu Que, since it was him who had caused the death of the Flaming Sun Princess. In fact, she also knew that Xu Que hadn't meant to kill Flaming Sun. He had even wanted to let her go, and it was the Flaming Sun Princess herself who jumped into the burning fire and killed herself.
"No! No! No! You won't die! You can't die! What's your last wish, tell me! I'll do everything I can to make it come true." Zi Xuan shook her head and hold Xu Que's hands tightly.
"Really?"
"Of course! Tell me, what is your last wish?"
"I hope the world can be a peaceful one."

542 General Zhuge, Please Don“t Die!
Chapter 542: General Zhuge, Please Don't Die!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
World peace?
"Ah? What did you say?"
Zi Xuan was stunned and thought she had misheard what Xu Que said, so she couldn't help asking.
"My… wish… is world peace!" After finishing his words, Xu Que's facial expression abruptly became rigid, as if time was frozen at this moment.
The next moment, his hands, which were grasped tightly by Zi Xuan, dropped down feebly to the ground.
The whole area fell into a dead silence again.
Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe what they had seen.
Could… it be that General Zhuge just died… in this way?
"Xu Que! Xu Que! Please don't die! Wake up! Please change your wish! I can't fulfill this one! Please, please wake up!" After coming to herself, Zi Xuan broke down in tears and kept shaking Xu Que's body.
Xu Que was unresponsive! However, he was enjoying the pleasure of the repeated unintentional touching of certain soft parts of Zi Xuan's body when he was being shaken by Zi Xuan.
This was the fundamental occupational quality of an actor—dedication!
A good actor should never stop acting until the director said, "Cut."
"No, I don't believe it! General Zhuge was so powerful! How could he die so easily?" a young Imperial Guard couldn't help shouting with teary eyes.
"General Zhuge, please wake up! Don't sleep!" another guard cried.
"Although you were called the big devil, I know you were a good person! I remember when we were carrying something heavy in the Imperial Palace, you came up to help us without any hesitation! From that moment, we knew you were only the big devil for those who harbor evil intent. For us, you were a great philanthropist!"
"General Zhuge, don't sleep!" Soon, the rest of the Imperial Guards who were influenced by this emotion started to shout loudly.
Many people remembered the good deeds of Xu Que at this moment.
He had retaken the Water Nation by conquering ten cities in a row.
He had spent all his Spirit Stones to buy the Water Empress's auction items in order to solve the crisis of the empty national treasury.
He had helped a lot of Imperial Guards and maidservants inadvertently in the Imperial Palace. Most of the time, he helped them deal with trifles. However, the trifles became great events when they were performed by him with his identity, so all these issues had been remembered by these people in their hearts.
All at once, the entire Imperial Palace was soaked in sadness, even sadder than the demise of the emperor.
However, nobody noticed that Shang Wu, who had come along with Gong Feng and his underlings, had snuck out of the crowd and fled helter-skelter outside the Imperial Palace with a ghastly pale face.
…
Immersed in grief, everyone was mourning Xu Que.
However, after a short while, Zi Xuan saw something was wrong.
She noticed inadvertently that the wounds on Xu Que's body were healing slowly. Some wounds had already been fully healed, which was quite strange, for the wounds were still covered by blood stains.
She even found a large bulge between his legs, as if a horrible weapon was hidden inside.
What… is going on?
Zi Xuan was quite perplexed.
However, soon she realized something and her face flushed totally. Then she stood up abruptly and kicked Xu Que between his legs angrily. "You nasty and shameless bastard!" she shouted angrily.
Howl! Xu Que, who was attacked unexpectedly, let out a miserable shriek, then sat up abruptly and kept gasping.
"Hum, so shameless!" Zi Xuan cursed him angrily again.
Xu Que was also angry. "Little girl, what are you going to do? How dare you attack me with such a ferocious move? If I wasn't hard enough, I would have been killed by you just now!"
"How could you have the guts to say that? You can't cheat us by playing dead! And… and… Huff! You're nasty and shameless!" Zi Xuan couldn't continue her words, so she turned around and ran away directly.
She was not an ignorant girl and knew something about sex. When Xu Que had sex with the Flaming Sun Princess, Zi Xuan, who hadn't been far away, acted as a listener for the whole process.
At this moment, Xu Que also stood up. With the help of the System's Automatic Recovery Ability, the pain only lasted for an instant. His lower body was still fully functional and free from any adverse impact, but he was pissed off!
Too reckless, this little girl is too young and too simple!
You should know you almost forfeited the lifelong happiness of your sister, and maybe even the lifelong happiness of yourself!
Compared to her, Madam Ya is more thoughtful, for she knows she should cherish this precious item.
"What?" After adjusting his mood, Xu Que found numerous Imperial Guards and Generals were looking at him in a daze, as if they still didn't know what was happening.
All at once, Xu Que combed his hair and started to smile radiantly. Then he said while looking at these dumbfounded people, "Haha! I'm revived! Please tell me loudly—are you happy? Are you surprised? Is this a pleasant surprise for you?"
…
The whole area fell silent!
Everyone became speechless embarrassedly!
Damn! How shameless you are!
What Princess Zi Xuan said was right! This guy is really too shameless! How could he cheat us by playing dead?
We were too innocent! According to his behavior, how could he die like this?
The old saying is absolutely true—he whom the gods love dies young, while a bad thing never dies!
…
Howl! Howl! Howl! At this moment, several wolf howls could be heard nearby. It was Buttface who howled furtively as he ran over.
Hearing this, the light in Xu Que's eyes was kindled, for he had found the chance to wriggle out of the awkward situation. He rushed over and shouted while grasping Buttface, "How dare you! Buttface, why are you howling here at night instead of sleeping?"
"Sh*t! Little brat, let me go! I've just heard a wolf howl. Maybe a member of my tribe is here!" Buttface said anxiously.
Xu Que was stunned a bit, then the corner of his lips twitched, for he had thought of something.
It seemed he had let out that "wolf" howl subconsciously after being kicked by Zi Xuan. It was the most vulnerable part of all men.
"What? Is the combat over now? It's a pity I'm late, otherwise, I would eliminate them all! By the way, where is that little b*stard Shang Wu?" Pretending to speak seriously, Buttface started to check the ruins around them.
Apparently, Buttface had hid in the shadows and ran out after the combat was over.
However, after Buttface's reminder, the rest of the people also started to search for Shang Wu.
"Right, where is Shang Wu?"
"That traitor is hateful! As the Garrison General of the Snow City, I didn't expect he could attack the Imperial Palace by colluding with people from overseas!"
"I remember! It seems he escaped when General Zhuge was playing dead just now!"
"Come on! No one stopped him?"
People were angry and planned to punish Shang Wu.
Xu Que stepped out immediately and said justly, "Please calm down! Don't act like this! I guess General Shang was forced to betray us. Since he has escaped, just let him go! Frankly speaking, I have a good relationship with his father, Sect Leader Shang. As cultivators travelling and roaming the world, we should be loyal and sympathetic to each other! This time, let us be lenient whenever possible!"
After finishing his words, he turned around and left before the amazed eyes of the onlookers.
His figure looked longer and longer as he walked away in the moonlight, which gave him the temperament of a magnificent warrior!
At the same time, Shang Wu was escaping frantically in the suburban forest of the Imperial City. However, Xu Que's Thunder Illusion Body was following him silently. The Thunder Illusion Body stabbed the gleaming sword in its hand towards the back of Shang Wu slowly…

543 Embarking on a New Journey
Chapter 543: Embarking on a New Journey
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Obviously, Xu Que wouldn't let Shang Wu go!
If it weren't for Situ Hai Tang and Shang Ling, Xu Que would have already killed him back in the Snow City.
When Xu Que knew that Shang Wu had invited help from the Gong Family, he had made up his mind to kill Shang Wu.
Xu Que had killed the four old men of the Gong Family in front of everyone, but he had let Shang Wu go. He did so simply because he did not want to be reprimanded by Situ Hai Tang.
Secretly, Xu Que had ordered his thunder illusion body to hunt for Shang Wu.
That night, Xu Que gathered together with all the guards and Generals and had a small meeting.
Xu Que warned them that no one should tell anyone else that he had killed the people of the Gong Family, since if anyone knew about this, the entire Water Nation would be dragged into a war.
Hearing this, everyone nodded and swore that they would keep it secret.
Later that night, they had destroyed the dead bodies of Gong Feng and repaired the damaged buildings.
Xu Que went back to his bedroom and closed the door.
He then took out five Storage Rings that belonged to the Gong Feng and the rest of the four old men.
Normally, Xu Que wouldn't bother to look in the Storage Ring of someone he had just killed, but since the Gong Family had come from overseas, he felt he had check the Storage Ring in case there was something valuable.
"Hey, what are you doing right now?" Buttface came close to Xu Que and asked.
Xu Que rolled his eyes and said, "Since we're going to head overseas, I think it would be better if we know the people overseas a bit better, starting from looking in their Storage Rings, for example."
"When did you get the rings from them? Why on earth didn't I notice?"
Buttface was stunned. He had been watching Xu Que fight against people from the Gong Family this whole time. It was impossible for him not to have seen Xu Que take the Storage Rings from them.
"Did you think I would let you see it?" Xu Que sneered.
You idiot, it's the System who took the rings off them, but I won't tell you that.
Then Xu Que used his Soul Strength to clear away the energy left on the rings and looked into them.
However, Xu Que found nothing but some Spiritual Stones, as well as some magic inscriptions of low ranks.
"What a shame! Apart from some magic weapons that might be useful, it's just a pile of crap!"
Xu Que shook his head while looking into the Storage Ring that belonged to Gong Feng.
As soon as he looked into it, he suddenly felt a bit cold and his pupils dilated.
Xu Que immediately pulled back his Soul Strength and threw away the ring.
A ray of red light quickly appeared and flew towards Xu Que. It followed the trace of Xu Que's Soul Strength and was about to hit a spot between his eyebrows.
Holy sh*t! System! Help!
Bang!
Buttface jumped up and blocked the light with his hands. The ray of red light was broken to pieces and gradually disappeared. Some fell onto Xu Que, but they also vanished quickly.
Xu Que was a bit surprised and stared at Buttface. "What on earth is happening?"
"I have no idea! When I saw the red light, I couldn't help but chase it. I never thought it would be so easily broken."
Couldn't help chasing the red light?! You really are a dog!
"Wait! I remember, the light is some sort of mark!" Buttface suddenly exclaimed, "Show me your arms!"
Hearing this, Xu Que pulled up his sleeve and found nothing on his arms.
"There's supposed to be a red dot on one of your arms! Well, it might be because I destroyed it in advance," Buttface said.
"What on earth are you talking about?" Xu Que rolled his eyes.
"It's a mark. Now that you've killed the Third Master of the Gong Family, with this mark, the Gong Family can sense you and know where you are as soon as you land on the Eastern Continent. Anyway, the effect of the mark has been greatly decreased, don't worry. As long as we keep our distance from the Gong Family, they can't find out where you are, and in fact, the mark will disappear after a while," Buttface said rather calmly.
My god! I never thought the Gong Family could do this. Judging from what Buttface said, it seems there's no need to worry anymore.
Xu Que exerted his Soul Strength and started to look into the Storage Ring again.
He was stunned by what was inside.
There were hundreds of Spiritual Stones of top quality, a book of magic inscriptions of the Star Rank, and some magic weapons of eight stars.
My my! The fortune he has is as much as a country has in the Five Nations.
"Holy sh*t! It seems that in the future when I'm short of money, I should just loot rich kids from influential families," Xu Que smiled.
He put the book into the System to check and found that the magic inscription the two old men had used was called the "Void Annihilation Cut."
He also knew that this magic inscription came with a price, which meant that when people used it, their lifespans would shorten, and the energy it exerted was extremely magnificent.
"Well, this is of no use to me." Xu Que shook his head.
No one would use it unless they're under great danger! If I use it, my lifespan will be shortened.
Besides, Xu Que had the Divine Tracking Emblem, so there was simply no use for him to use this sort of magic inscription.
"Never mind! I don't think it necessary to practice this magic inscription."
…
The next morning, the palace was back to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Que set up two magic arrays—one for the palace and the other for the entire Imperial City.
He went to the Water Empress' bedroom with Buttface and started to pack.
Zi Xuan came to to say goodbye.
"Xu Que, remember what my sister told you. Be modest and don't get yourself into trouble when you're overseas."
"Getting myself into trouble? This doesn't sound like something your sister would have said to me. You're worried about me, aren't you?" Xu Que smiled and asked.
Hearing this, Zi Xuan blushed. "I am not! I'm so glad that you're going to leave here! Can't you see I'm smiling now?"
"Good then! I'll leave now. Buttface, let's get into the teleportation array."
Xu Que smiled to Zi Xuan and got into the Ancient Teleportation Device with Buttface.
The Ancient Teleportation Device was a huge, round platform made of Spiritual Stone. On the edge of it, there were, in total, six long and narrow cuts that were connected by numerous patterns.
The design looked very sophisticated, yet in Xu Que's view, it was like a children's toy.
"There are six cuts, which means I have to put one Spiritual Stone of top quality into each of them. How expensive!" Xu Que complained, while taking out six purple Spiritual Stones of top quality.
"How pretentious you are! I know you're rich! I saw you poking into their Storage Rings yesterday and collecting hundreds of Spiritual Stones from Gong Feng's Storage Ring."
Xu Que didn't reply to him and put stones into the cuts.
Bang!
The Ancient Teleportation Device began to rotate…

544 Stepping Onto the East Continen
Chapter 544: Stepping Onto the East Continent
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The radiance of the spell formation was becoming more and more dazzling. The shiny runes were rotating on the giant Spirit Stone Disk like small black fish swimming in a jade lake. Finally, all the runes gathered together and the device was covered by a beam of white light. The air twisted abruptly, blurring Xu Que and Buttface's figures.
"Little Zi Xuan, goodbye!" Xu Que said.
"Take care!" Zi Xuan replied.
Finally, Zi Xuan saw Xu Que and Buttface disappear.
Everything quieted down as the dust settled. The giant Spirit Stone Disk became dim and the Secret Room was empty again. Zi Xuan felt as empty as the Secret Room she stood in. Shaking her head with a sad smile, she turned around and left.
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que and Buttface were dropped into a black void.
This was the first time that Xu Que had used such a big Teleportation Device. The tearing force of the void on his body was stronger than any force he had felt while using other Teleportation Devices. He theorized that cultivators whose cultivation level was lower than the Infant Transformation Stage wouldn't have been able to stand the strength of this Teleportation Device!
Buttface was unphased. With his extremely powerful physique, it was clear that he felt nothing out of the ordinary. He opened his package of food and started to eat.
However, Buttface didn't have much time to eat, for this Ancient Teleportation Device was a lot faster than ordinary Teleportation Devices. The darkness around them only lasted for an instant before Xu Que saw a spot of light. The light was becoming larger and larger. They were about to arrive in the East Continent!
"Heh heh! We are getting close," Buttface said. "Little brat, you should be careful here. I had lived in the East Continent ten thousand years ago. Wow… it's already been ten thousand years! I guess the guys who chased me out of this place have either become sages or ancestors of the people here!" Buttface said excitedly.
"Ten thousand years?" Xu Que sneered, squinting his eyes. "I am afraid all of the people who remember you are dead now! Buttface, now that we are in the East Continent, you must behave yourself! If you make troubles, I will stew you!"
"D*mn! Compared to you, I am a saint!" Buttface retorted. He couldn't hold a candle to Xu Que when it came to trouble-making.
Whoosh!
A beam of white light descended upon the East Continent.
The tearing force on Xu Que's body was beginning to fade. Xu Que could now see the landscape – there were buildings and pavilions close by, willows off to the side, and mountains and rivers in the distance.
Finally, they stepped out of the void and onto the ground.
All at once, the surrounding Spiritual Qi gushed into Xu Que's pores like a flood. He was suddenly refreshed. No wonder people from overseas always complained about the sparse Spiritual Qi in Five Elements Mountain. The power of the Spiritual Qi here was so intense!
The five Original Infants in his body were absorbing the Spiritual Qi like crazy. It was a pity that Xu Que couldn't effectively upgrade his cultivation level just by absorbing Spiritual Qi like this. Cultivating through absorbing Spiritual Qi was extremely inefficient compared to cultivating through gaining experience by killing people.
"Nice! What a wonderful place this is!" Xu Que exclaimed as he looked around.
The Teleportation Device had transported them to a villa. This was a nice change of pace, for Teleportation Devices usually dropped people off in the middle of a wilderness! The villa was very quiet. It was also very old and shabby. It looked as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Xu Que and Buttface noticed that they were standing on top of another giant Spirit Stone Dish. However, this disk had many large cracks in it. It seemed that this disk was no longer functional.
"Someone deliberately damaged this Spirit Stone Dish. It can't be used for teleportation anymore, only for landing," Buttface said.
Xu Que nodded slightly. This Teleportation Device was in such an eye-catching place. If it were still functional, the peace in Five Elements Mountain would have long been disrupted.
"D*mn! It's been so long!" Buttface said. "Everything in the East Continent looks so strange to me! I feel like I just woke up from the world's longest nap!"
"Buttface, How do you know everything is changed without going beyond this villa?" Xu Que asked, shocked. "Where did you get this magical power?"
"Because I remember this place. I was here ten thousand years ago. I remember that this place was quite resplendent and magnificent! It belonged to a big organization! Many sovereigns used to gather in this place. It is a pity this organization faded away," Buttface exclaimed.
Xu Que shook his head in disdain. He couldn't trust Buttface's stories about his history. Xu Que gazed at the desolate mountains which surrounded the villa. He gave an irritated sigh.
"Come on, Buttface! Since you know this place, lead the way to the Bright Moon Hotel!"
"So many years have passed. How do you expect me to know the way?" Buttface said helplessly.
Xu Que was quite depressed. The Water Empress told him in her letter to wait for her at the Bright Moon Hotel. However, she never mentioned the exact location of the hotel.
"Looks like we have to ask for directions," Xu Que said calmly.
Despite being a stranger in a foreign place, Xu Que was not nervous. In fact, he was a bit excited. After all, he had come a long way by acting tough in a new place once. Who's to say he couldn't do it again?
"Little brat, it looks pretty desolate here, but I'm sure there are still some people around," Buttface said, looking around. Then, he spotted something. "Look! There is smoke spiraling up into the sky over there! Someone must be cooking something!" Buttface exclaimed, his mouth watering. What an eating machine this dog was!
Xu Que turned to look at the trail of smoke.
"Are you crazy? That smoke is too dense to be someone cooking," Xu Que said, his lip curling. "That smoke is from the God d*amn flames of war! People are fighting over there!"
Xu Que summoned some lightning to stand on and dashed towards the wooded mountain.
"Wait! Wait for me!" Buttface said, following him in a hurry.
The smoke in the woods became denser as they approached its source. When they arrived, they only found ashes. It seemed the combat had already ended. Only a few embers were still burning.
"D*mn! We are too late!" Buttface complained.
"It would have been useless to come earlier. Look at these embers. It looks like this fire was burning the whole night. Even the bodies here are badly charred," Xu Que said, shaking his head.
Over one hundred charred bodies were lying on the ground. They had been burned so badly that they were totally unidentifiable.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several light beams whizzed above some nearby clouds. Some people were riding flying swords.
"Eh? Someone is coming. We can ask for directions!" Buttface said, delighted.
Xu Que nodded. Then he looked up and shouted at the light beams in the sky.
"Freeze! Hold up!"
Boom!
A formidable presence instantly descended from the sky. The presence was so strong that Xu Que and Buttface almost fell to their knees.
What's going on?
Xu Que and Buttface looked at each other. They were both terrified.
The people in the sky were extremely powerful. Xu Que's Soul Strength could sense that at least one of these guys was an expert cultivator at the Void Training Stage. All of these guys were powerhouses.
Whoosh!
The beams of light landed on the ground. The halo of light then faded to reveal their bodies. Three people with veiled faces were now standing before them. Given their clothing, it was evident that these three figures were women.
The women on either side of the center figure were old but powerful. However, the lady standing in the middle looked quite extraordinary. She was dressed in white and was very young, but she was at the Void Training Stage, as were the two old ladies.
The lady in white fixed her eyes on Xu Que.
"Young man, who are you? And why are you here?" she asked calmly.
Xu Que's eyelids twitched a bit.
D*mn! It's just our luck to encounter such powerful opponents just after arriving here.
He knew he could be easily defeated by a cultivator at the Void Training Stage, even with the assistance of the People Killing Sword and People Killing Book of All Layers. Taking on one opponent of this caliber would mean certain defeat, let alone three of them.
"Little brat, let's just retreat," Buttface said carefully.
"Run away? You are a coward! If you want to be a powerhouse, you should be fearless!" Xu Que scolded loudly and disdainfully.
Buttface gasped. He looked at Xu Que, dumbfounded. What a fool Xu Que was!
You told me not to cause any trouble, but now, here you are, causing trouble! Buttface thought. They are powerhouses at the Void Training Stage! How dare you be so arrogant? You are really impressive, buddy!
"A powerhouse should be fearless…" the lady in white repeated, smiling slightly. Her eyes were still fixed on Xu Que.
"Young man, what did you shout to us just now? Do you want to rob us?" the lady in white asked abruptly, her voice cold.
"Little brat, don't do anything stupid!" Buttface advised hurriedly. His knees were bent, ready to run at any moment.
"I know what I am doing and I have nothing to fear!" Xu Que replied with a fearless but calm tone. He then smiled at the women respectfully.
"You misheard me, young lady! I shouted for you to hold on. I didn't say anything about a hold-up. As a principled scholar, I examine my integrity three times a day. I would never hold someone up!" he said.
"By the way, young lady, have you ever met a fairy maiden before?"

545 Grass!
Chapter 545: Grass!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"As a principled scholar, you examine your integrity three times a day? Very elegant, I must say. But to be honest, I don't feel like you are a principled scholar at all," the young woman in white sneered.
Xu Que's face grew serious.
"Young lady, you should always mind your words. For a principled scholar like me, the most important thing is integrity! You can't possibly doubt my identity as a principled scholar!"
"You are going on about integrity with me?!" the young woman laughed.
The two old women standing next to her were silent. Their faces were covered by a veil, but Xu Que could tell that they were both emotionless.
"What I mean to say is that integrity is not something that one can chew upon," Xu Que said.
Buttface was shocked.
He is indeed a great actor! Where did he learn to act so well?!
"Well, I have to say that you have got a sharp tongue like every other principled scholar does. But you wanted to rob us. Because of this, I am positive that you are not a principled scholar! Tell me, who are you, and what have you got to do with the dead people here?" the young lady in white questioned.
Xu Que noticed that the two old women had secretly moved to block the road in front of them.
"This is the first time that I have ventured upon this land," Xu Que said calmly. "Just a moment ago, I saw smoke rising up into the sky, so I came here to see what was happening at the source of the smoke. I am not the one who has killed these people."
"How can you prove you have nothing to do with this?" the young lady in white asked.
"I haven't any proof. But I am a principled scholar. I never lie!"
"Nonsense! I don't believe you are a principled scholar at all!" the young lady in white said, shaking her head.
"Then what can I do to make you believe I am telling the truth?" Xu Que asked.
Xu Que was searching for a good opportunity to run away with the help of his Devine Tracking Emblem. However, if he wasn't careful, the young lady in white would see through his plan and capture them before he had a chance to use his Divine Tracking Emblem.
The young lady in white thought for a short while before she voiced an idea.
"Since you keep saying you are a principled scholar, then you must be good at making poems! Why not prove it by making a poem based on the surrounding environment? If you manage to create a good poem, I will believe you are a principled scholar."
"Poems are a piece of cake to me," Xu Que said with a smile as he looked around.
Xu Que took out a fan. The Divine Tracking Emblem was hidden on the other side of the fan. Xu Que gently waved the fan and gave a sudden shout.
"Grass!"
"What?!" the young lady exclaimed.
The two old women were surprised and were about to attack Xu Que.
"Calm down," Xu Que said frantically. "I was just reciting the title of the poem."
Everyone was amazed.
The title of the poem?
I have never heard of a poem with the title "Grass"!
Why couldn't you create a normal title? It just sounded like you were cursing.
"Lush grass on the plains, in one year, withers and thrives once each. Wildfire does not burn it completely; when spring winds blow, it lives again."
Hearing this, the young lady in white and the two old women were stunned.
It seems that this poem truly is about grass. It sprouts in the spring, lives through both the summer and the autumn, and in the winter, it withers. When is burnt by fire, it sprouts again during the next spring.
This forest has been burnt to ashes and there are countless bodies on the ground. After a while, new grass will sprout here. As for the dead people, there will be others who will visit this forest. Besides, while it's true that every minute someone dies, new babies come into the world at the same rate.
He has indeed made a good poem!
"It seems that you are a real principled scholar! What should I call you?" the young lady in white said with great interest.
Xu Que folded his fan and touched the Divine Tracking Emblem.
"My name is Li Bai, a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"The Exploding Heavens Faction? I have heard of this faction before somewhere," the young lady frowned. "Hmm… Hero Li. I don't care if you are a principled scholar or not. You still need to come with me! All the dead people here are the disciples of the Illusionary Flower and Moon Sect. They have all been ruthlessly killed. I have seen no one here but you and pet dog. If you and I had switched places, wouldn't you hold me accountable for this?"
"I already told you that I have nothing to do with this!" Xu Que shouted. "I just happened to be walking past here when you came! I have made a poem as you have asked. You have seen my handsome face. I have even told you my name! You still do not believe me?! If you capture me, I will f*ck you until you cry and ask me to stop!" Xu Que cursed.
Hearing this, the young lady and the two old women were stunned. They never thought this gentle young man standing in front of them would suddenly start to curse like a thug.
Even Buttface was shocked by Xu Que's words.
"Why are you in a daze?!" Xu Que shouted at Buttface. "We are leaving right now!"
Xu Que's fingertip began to shine. He then grabbed Buttface's collar and flew backward.
"Stop!" the women shouted in unison.
But it was too late. Xu Que and Buttface had completely vanished. It was as if they had never been there.
"Did he just use an Earth Shrinking Amulet? Impossible!" the two old women exclaimed together.
"That was no Earth Shrinking Amulet as far as I know," the young lady said, "but he might have used a magic incantation which is similar to the power of an Earth Shrinking Amulet."
"So, what should we do?" said one of the old ladies.
"They couldn't have gone too far. You two go back to the Illusionary Flower and Moon Sect. Tell them to lock all the entrances of the ancient city and arrest that young man and his pet dog as soon as they are sighted."
"And where are you heading to?" the other old lady asked.
"I need to head to Tian Luo City to meet someone at the Bright Moon Hotel."
…
As soon as the Xu Que and Buttface came to a stop, they found themselves hundreds of miles away from the burnt forest.
Xu Que knew that he did not stand a chance against the young lady and the two old women. Besides, he had not fully developed his Killer Sword and Killer Book yet. Thus, it would be foolish to confront people who were that powerful right now, although he was dying to do so. Instead, he used more than ten Divine Tracking Emblems to get away from that forest.
"We have been here less than an hour and we have already met three people at the Void Training Stage… It seems that I need to reach a higher level!" Xu Que said.
"Sh*t! Those three women are too bossy! If it were not for you dragging me away, I would definitely have killed them!" Buttface said.
"Nonsense! If it were not for me, you would already have been killed and they would have feasted on cooked dog tonight!"
"F*ck you! I am a wolf, not a dog!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Where we are now?"
"Tian Luo City!" Buttface shouted.
"How do you know?"
"It's written on the city gate!"

546 Chapter 546
Chapter 546: Chapter 546
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que had been very lucky. After escaping the clutches of the three women, the Divine Escape Emblem teleported them hundreds of miles away to a patch of ground just outside the main entrance of Tian Luo City.
Now that they had arrived at a big city, they could finally ask for directions to the Bright Moon Hotel! Xu Que walked towards the city gate, dragging Buttface behind him.
Tian Luo City was extremely large. Its size was quite spectacular!
The walls around the perimeter of the city were over three meters high. They were also extremely thick, for they had been constructed with bricks and bronze. These walls were more magnificent than any of the city walls within Five Elements Mountain.
Though the walls were old and rusty because of years of erosion, they were still firm, indomitable, and magnificent. The three words on the city gate, "Tian Luo City," seemed to tell their own story. Each letter was forceful, vigorous, and overrun with history.
"Buttface, did you ever come here ten thousand years ago?" Xu Que asked.
"I don't remember this city," Buttface said, shaking his head. "Besides, how could such a small city be noticed by my dharma eyes?"
"You have dog eyes!" Xu Que said disdainfully.
Still, Xu Que was impressed. If Tian Luo City was a small city, how large were the big cities?
Before coming to the East Continent, he had been informed that the overseas area contained beings that were far more powerful than the ones in Five Elements Mountain.
However, he had not expected the cities here to be so grandiose. This small city was larger and more magnificent than all the imperial cities in Five Elements Mountain!
Cultivators who were at the Void Training Stage were everywhere in the East Continent. Thus, it was difficult for Xu Que to act tough here. The only reason he was able to act tough earlier is that he was able to escape the situation directly afterward.
It was too dangerous to be causing trouble here. The best thing to do was to meet with the Water Empress as soon as possible. Thus, finding the Bright Moon Hotel was his top priority.
Xu Que approached one of the guards standing at the city gate. He didn't want to waste his time asking for directions within the city if he could help it.
"Sir, I am a scholar and I am new here," Xu Que said. "I am looking for a hotel called the Bright Moon Hotel. Could you inform me of its location, please?"
Even though Xu Que did his best to ask the guard for directions in a courteous manner, it seemed like the guard didn't like scholars much. He glanced at Xu Que and Buttface coldly.
"It is the tallest building in the city," he said indifferently.
"What?" Xu Que was stunned.
Is the Bright Moon Hotel really in this city?
"What's wrong with you scholars?" the guard said with a frown. "Everyone knows the Bright Moon Hotel is the tallest building in Tian Luo City. How could you not know that?"
"Maybe I am a fake scholar!" Xu Que said jokingly.
Without any further comment, Xu Que and Buttface entered the city.
This was truly Xu Que's lucky day. The Divine Escape Emblem could have teleported them anywhere within hundreds of miles. It just so happened that it brought them to the City where the Bright Moon Hotel was located. He was more likely to have won the lottery than to have wound up just feet away from the Bright Moon Hotel.
"This is great! We could have had to spend a bunch time and effort searching for this hotel, but the Divine Escape Emblem practically led us straight to it!" Xu Que said joyfully.
"Little brat, your spells are awesome! Could you give me some of them so that I can protect myself?" Buttface said.
"No way! You need to behave yourself! If you hadn't caused trouble back there, we wouldn't have needed to escape!" Xu Que said, staring at Buttface.
"Little brat, it was you who caused all that trouble!" Buttface said angrily, immediately annoyed that Xu Que was trying to put the blame on him.
"Whatever! The details don't matter," Xu Que said, waving his hand. "Anyway, we should keep a low profile while we're in this city! Lie low, understand?"
Xu Que knew that it was he who had caused the trouble in the burnt forest. He was just too stubborn to admit it.
Right now, all they needed to do was find the Bright Moon Hotel so they could meet the Water Empress there. He also knew that it was important to not stir up any trouble so that nothing would reflect badly on him or the Water Empress. Thus, he wanted to avoid causing trouble here at all costs.
Besides, he was just at level four of the Infant Transformation Stage. If he offended any cultivators at the Void Training Stage, he would need to run away again. He couldn't allow this to happen. It would be too shameful!
Tian Luo City was bustling with activity. Everyone seemed to be hurrying back and forth across the streets. To Xu Que's surprise, different kinds of creatures all lived in the city. Human cultivators, Demonic Beasts and Half-Human-Half-Demon beings all coexisted here.
However, Buttface informed him that the Demonic Beasts that he saw were actually Orcs, and the Half-Human-Half-Demon creatures were more closely related to the Demons. Buttface also said that these three species seemed to live in harmony, but that there were many private conflicts between these creatures.
Suddenly, Buttface came to a stop.
"Little brat, the tallest building is over there," Buttface said, pointing at a tall building close by.
The antique building was dozens of meters high, much like the skyscrapers on Earth. With its green tiles, crimson roofs, carved beams, and painted rafters, the building was quite artistic!
"Awesome! Who knew that a hotel could be so magnificent?" Xu Que exclaimed. This building could be compared to a six-star luxurious hotel on Earth.
"Boo, another hillbilly!" called a male voice. The voice was full of sarcasm and disdain.
Xu Que and Buttface frowned, turning around to see who this guy was. Several rich kids in fine clothes were looking at them contemptuously. One member of the group, who looked a little older, was fiddling with two white jades, passing them over each other again and again in the palm of his hand.
"Little brat," the guy with the jades sneered, "did you just call this place a hotel? That's pretty big talk, hillbilly! Only the sovereigns of large sects could rightly treat this place like a hotel. But you… hmph! You have no respect for this building!"
Holy sh*t! Xu Que thought. I never thought that the pedestrians here could be provoked so easily!
Xu Que looked at the rich kids with widened eyes. He was trying to keep a low profile. How could his guy be offended by such a casual statement?!
"Guys, you know I didn't mean to offend you, right?" Xu Que said calmly with a smile.
"You have offended the entire city by calling the Bright Moon Hotel a hotel," the guy with the jades said with a cold smile.
"Then could you please tell me what the Bright Moon Hotel is if it is not a hotel?" Xu Que said, embarrassed. While it was true that the Bright Moon Hotel was quite magnificent, its name still indicated that it was a hotel.
"The Bright Moon Hotel is the holy place of Tian Luo City. As a hillbilly, you are not qualified to comment on it. You must kneel and worship it, understand?" the man with the white jades said arrogantly, staring at Xu Que with cold eyes.
Xu Que's face darkened. Murderous intentions were raging in his heart. He didn't want to get into any trouble, but he also didn't want to just stand here and be bullied like this!
"Little brat, beat him up!" Buttface said, egging him on. Even Buttface couldn't stand this unfair treatment.
"What? You want to fight me? You are not qualified to fight me! Especially here in Tian Luo City," the man said, smiling arrogantly. Apparently, he had an extraordinary reputation.
Xu Que hesitated.
These guys were making his blood boil. However, he needed to meet up with the Water Empress. Fighting this guy would just be a waste of time. Plus, if he got on anyone's bad side, his connection to the Water Empress might force her to become involved. This was another reason to avoid conflict.
Forget it and just let it go! Xu Que thought to himself as he shook his head.
"Buttface, let's go!" Xu Que said, patting Buttface on the head.
"Sh*t! Little brat, you're just going to leave?" Buttface asked, unwilling to drop this dispute.
"It's alright. We're not here to cause trouble," Xu Que consoled.
"Fine, you're the boss this time," Buttface said.
Since Xu Que was being true to his word about not causing trouble in the city, Buttface had to wimp out alongside him. Besides, even Buttface didn't dare to fight these people.
As Xu Que and Buttface turned around and began to walk away, the rich kids started laughing.
"Haha! Well, that was boring. This hillbilly doesn't have any balls at all! He is just running away like a coward!"
"Alas, our fun has been ruined again!"
"Whatever. It doesn't matter. Hillbillies come to the Bright Moon Hotel every day. There's always one who has a bad temper. All we need to do is wait a bit longer for someone with a short fuse to come along. Then, we will provoke him so that he will attack us first. Then we'll have an excuse to fight back. Then we'll break his arms and legs and throw him back into the garbage dump where he belongs!"
"Haha, Brother Han is always so smart!"
"You flatter me. I, Han Guoqiang[1], have always been good at bullying!"
Xu Que stopped in his tracks. He turned around, a shocked expression on his face.
"What was your name again?" Xu Que asked, staring at the man with the white jades.
"What? Have you heard of me before? It seems even hillbillies know my name now," the man with the white jades said with a cold smile.
"Han Guoqiang?" Xu Que said, squinting his eyes.
"Exactly!" the man replied confidently.
"You motherf*cker! Buttface, charge! Let's beat him to death!" Xu Que cursed.
He summoned his Dark Heavy Buster Sword and swung it at Han Guoqiang!

547 Don’t Forget Your Original Intention
Chapter 547: Don’t Forget Your Original Intention
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang!
Xu Que hit Han Guoqiang with his Darky Heavy Buster Sword. The young man fell to the ground. Blood was oozing from his forehead.
Everyone was shocked by Xu Que's speed and strength, including Han Guoqiang. They were also surprised at his sudden anger.
No one had thought that Xu Que would strike the man with the white jades just because he heard that his name was Han Guoqiang. No one had expected such an intense attack either.
He's at the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage?! How can this be possible? Han Guoqiang thought.
Obviously, Xu Que's limited experiences with individuals from overseas had caused him to overestimate the strength of the people here.
Before coming to the Eastern Continent, Xu Que fought with individuals from the Sea Tribe as well as from the Gong Family. These individuals were all from overseas and were all in the Infant Transformation Stage. If Xu Que had not possessed any Star Rank incantations, he would not have been able to win against them.
When Xu Que first stepped foot on the Eastern Continent, he ran into three women in the Void Training stage and had to run away from them. Since escaping these three women, he had been extremely cautious. Now, Xu Que realized that there was no need to be so careful. Not everyone on the Eastern Continent was immensely powerful. The overseas area was made up of the powerful and the weak, the talented and the ordinary.
Still, the Spiritual Qi was more abundant here than in Five Element Mountain. There were also more resources and treasures here. This is why the strong cultivators here were more powerful than any of the cultivators on Five Element Mountain.
Each of the young, rich men, including Han Guoqiang, were only at the ninth level of the Original Infant Stage.
Clearly, these young men all come from influential families. However, they are still only in the Original Infant Stage. They may be at the highest level, but they are still just in the Original Infant Stage.
I'm not afraid of these guys at all! When I was reborn into this world, I was at the Qi Refining Stage. Despite this, I willingly confronted someone at the Original Infant Stage. Then, when I was at the Foundation Building Stage, I killed someone at the Golden Core Stage. Finally, when I was at the Core Bearing Stage, I defeated someone who was at the Infant Transformation Stage!
I am a master at acting tough! The key is to never forget your original intention. This is the most important thing to remember if you want to act tough. So far, I have always been able to act tough. I will stick to what I know and be confident in myself!
Xu Que decided to take this opportunity to build up the reputation of the Exploding Heavens Faction here in Tian Luo City. To do this, he needed to act as harsh as he possibly could.
A smile grew on Xu Que's face as his confidence returned.
Bang!
He stepped on Han Guoqiang's face.
Xu Que was aware that the Water Empress had urged him to stay out of trouble while on the East Continent. He had tried to follow her advice, but he was convinced that lying low would no longer do him any good. He was done with staying out of trouble. No matter how modest and polite he was, someone always ended up picking a fight with him.
Asking me to stay out of trouble? What a laugh.
"Who...who are you?!" Han Guoqiang asked, gasping in pain.
Han Guoqiang knew that he was in big trouble this time. Before Xu Que had attacked him, he thought that Xu Que was just an ordinary cultivator. He had not expected Xu Que to be an elite at the Infant Transformation Stage.
In the Eastern Continent, anyone who reached the Infant Transformation Stage before they turned thirty was considered an elite. Anyone who reached the Void Training Stage before they turned two hundred was considered a holy son or a holy daughter. Usually, no one dared to offend elites, holy sons, or holy daughters, for these individuals usually came from influential families.
By provoking an elite, Han Guoqiang realized that he was now in deep sh*t. He was rather worried about what Xu Que would do to him. Han Guoqiang's peers shared his fears and did not dare to confront Xu Que.
"I am Li Bai. I come from the Exploding Heavens Faction, and I am a scholar," Xu Que sneered.
The young men were all confused.
Exploding Heavens Faction?
What on earth is the Exploding Heavens Faction? Why have I never heard of it before?
He must be joking! He must also come from a rich family. I have heard that there are some elites who dress like normal cultivators and pick fights with others. They pretend to be very weak, but when the fight starts, they reveal their true strength. What an annoying tactic!
Recalling these rumors, Han Guoqiang and his peers were convinced that Xue Que must be one of the elites.
"My father, Han Yi, is the lieutenant castellan of Tian Luo City and my brother, Han Guosheng, is the captain of the national guard here! You should think twice before doing anything to me!" Han Guoqiang said.
Han Guoquang hoped that if he told Xu Que how influential his family was, Xu Que might let him go. However, after learning that Han Guoqiang had a brother named Han Guosheng, Xu Que grew angrier.
Bang!
Xu Que stepped on Han Guoqiang's face again.
"So you have a brother named Han Guosheng, do you?!"
Bang!
"What a f*cking ridiculous name!"
Bang!
"Tell your brother come to see me!"
Xu Que had stepped on Han Guoqiang's face four times now. Han Guoqiang almost fainted because of the pain.
Is he really hitting me simply because of the sound of our names? No, that can't be it. He demanded to see my brother… Can it be possible that my brother has fought with this guy before? That must be it! This guy has come to take his revenge on my brother!
"If you want to see my brother, then why are you hitting me?!" Han Guoqiang asked, furious.
If he really is an enemy of my brother, that means that his family must be as influential as ours. He wouldn't dare to kill me.
"How dare you talk back to me! Buttface!" Xu Que yelled.
"What? Why did you call my name all of a sudden?" Buttface asked.
"Tell me, Buttface, if you were me, what would you do to someone who dared to talk back to you?" Xu Que sneered.
Buttface didn't want to be dragged into this d*mn business. Buttface took a few steps backward.
"Young man," Buttface started, addressing Han Guoqiang, "if you know what's good for you, you should behave yourself. Don't talk back."
"Buttface, don't be so feeble! You said earlier that you wanted to beat him up! So why don't you go on and teach this guy a lesson by using the same method as you have in the past!?" Xu Que shouted.
"Really?" Buttface asked, excited.
"Yes!"
"Haha! This is wonderful!"

The same method? What method is this?
The rest of the rich kids were quite confused about Xu Que's instructions to Buttface. Han Guoqiang was perturbed as well.
Han Guoqiang was trying his best to guess what this "method" was that Xu Que was referring to. However, he could not figure out their intentions. All he knew was that judging by the malice emanating from the smiling faces of Xu Que and his dog, this was not going to be a pleasant experience.
Xu Que was creating such a racket that people nearby couldn't help but notice the startling scene. After all, the streets here were full of hustle and bustle. As soon as Xu Que knocked Han Guoqiang down with one strike, many people turned their heads to see what was going on. Since then, the number of onlookers had continued to grow. They were now surrounded by a substantial group of onlookers.
The people here had become used to Han Guoqiang's street bullying. However, this was the first time that they had seen Han Guoqiang getting beaten up like this. It was quite rare to see a bully get bullied! Rather than expressing sympathy towards Han Guoqiang, people were more interested in piecing together Xu Que's identity.
"Lord Han is in for a rough ride this time! Why did he provoke an elite?"
"This elite looks quite young. It is impressive that he has managed to reach level four of the Infant Transformation Stage!"
"My guess is he just fabricated that Exploding Heavens Faction. He probably comes from a well-known family."
"No way. He probably comes from an old sect!"
Buttface stood upon his two hind legs and proudly walked up to Han Guoqiang with his stomach in and his chest out. He looked down at Han Guoqiang's bloody face.
"Any last words?" Buttface asked.
"Buttface, stop wasting your words on him! Just do it!" Xu Que said impatiently.
Han Guoqiang's face grew pale. Did they really intend to kill him!?
"No, no! Wait!" Han Guoqiang shouted frantically. "My father is the Lieutenant Castellan! Don't do anything stupid! If you kill me, you will not walk out of this city ali—"
Puff!
Buttface spat at Han Guoqiang's face.
Patter!
The large drop of saliva landed directly on Han Guoqiang's head. Han Guoqiang was stunned. So were all the onlookers.
What's going on?
This dog is really domineering!
He didn't even wait for Han Guoqiang to finish speaking! Is that dog really going to kill him?
Xu Que was silent. He stared at Han Guoqiang with cold eyes, like a cruel killer who was enjoying the struggle of his target. Buttface also starred at Han Guoqiang, just like an executioner would. He studied him, his eyes cruel and stern.
"What I said is true!" Han Guoqiang shouted. "This is just a misunderstanding! You don't need to kill me! If—"
Puff!
Another mouthful of thick sputum wrapped itself around Han Guoqiang's forehead.
Han Guoqiang was dumbfounded, his mouth slightly open in shock. The mixture of Buttface's saliva and mucus slid off his hair, down his face, and dripped into his mouth. However, Han Guoqiang didn't notice this at all. He was consumed by terror, for he thought that Xu Que and Buttface had made up their minds to kill him. How could he possibly care about a little saliva?
The rest of the young rich men began to panic. They each elbowed their way out of the crowd and away from the scene. Some of them scurried home to hide while others ran off to try and inform the Han family about what was happening to their son. However, none of them returned for fear of becoming too involved. No one wanted to offend this terrible elite.
"Please don't kill me! I was wrong!" Han Guoqiang entreated, hanging his head.
Buttface didn't reply. He just kept spitting at Han Guoqiang.
Puff!
"I—"
Puff! Puff! Puff!
"You—"
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
No matter what Han Guoqiang said, every word was interrupted by Buttface's spit. Buttface began to spit faster and faster. His spitting became more and more rhythmic. He was now spitting at Han Guoqiang's head so rapidly that it seemed like he was firing a machine gun.
The crowd was dumbfounded.
This dog is so domineering. But why is he still just spitting on him? Why hasn't he killed Han Guoqiang yet?
"OK, Buttface, you can stop now!" Xu Que said.
Buttface nodded and stepped back, a content smile on his face.
Han Guoqiang was scared stiff.
Is…he going to kill me now?
"No, please! Lord Li, I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please don't kill me!" Han Guoqiang pleaded, crawling backward. Now that Buttface had been told to stand down, he figured that Xu Que was ready to kill him himself!
"Kill you? Who told you I was going to kill you?" Xu Que said with a cold smile.
Han Guoqiang was stunned. His heart began to slow down to a calmer rate.
"You… you're not going to kill me?" Han Guoqiang asked in a bit of a daze.
"Of course I'm not going to kill you. I am a scholar! As the old saying goes, a gentleman uses his tongue, not his fists. How could I bring myself to kill anyone? Killing is too brutal!" Xu Que said. His expression was filled with sadness, earnestness, and uprightness.
The onlookers were confused.
A gentleman uses his tongue, not his fists?
You are not actually going to kill him!?
Sh*t! From the very beginning, his plan was just to humiliate Han Guoqiang by spitting on him!
D*mn! This guy is so absurd!
How could this guy call himself a scholar? He just told his dog to spit all over someone. That is no way for a scholar to behave! He is just a godd*mned fake!
"I am a reasonable man! Who gave you your name? Why did they give you such a terrible name? Your name brings shame to this nation! It makes you disloyal, unfilial and unjust! Now, I give you two choices," Xu Que said, speaking slowly and purposefully.
Xu Que held his Dark Heavy Buster Sword above Han Guoqiang's head.
"You can change your name, or you can die! It's up to you now, " he said coldly.
"What?" Han Guoqiang was scared stiff yet again.
But you just said you weren't going to kill me! How could you threaten me like this!?
The onlookers were speechless.
Just now, he said he wouldn't kill him. But now he is saying that Han Guoqiang needs to change his name or else he'll kill him! This guy is totally unreasonable!
Where the h*ll is this guy from?
"Oh? I take it from your silence that you have chosen death, correct? Alright. You are quite brave for wanting to die rather than relinquish your title! I will fulfill your wish!" Xu Que yelled.
The Dark Heavy Buster Sword in his hand started to shine magnificently. Power radiated from the sword as he lifted it...
"No, I will change my name!" Han Guoqiang shouted.
"Oh?" Xu Que stopped.
"But I don't know what my new name should be…" Han Guoqiang said.
He didn't know why his name offended Xu Que so much. Han Guoqiang… Guoqiang… It was a common name! Why did this guy insist on changing it?
"You should change it into Zhong Guoqiang!" Xu Que said nobly.
"What?" Han Guoqiang was dumbfounded. This guy wasn't asking him to change his given name, but his family name!?
"Actually, no. This change does not solve the problem. Besides, a scumbag like you is not qualified to have such a noble name!" Xu Que said, shaking his head. "Your name should be Han Guoruo! No, no, no, your name should be Han Guo Ji Ba[1]!"
Han Guoji? the young rich man thought. That's an OK name. In fact, it is perfectly acceptable!
"OK, I will change my name to Han Guoji!" he said with a nod.
"Are you kidding me?" Xu Que said, his eyes wide with anger.
Bang!
Xu Que hit the rich man in the forehead with his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
"I asked you to change your name to Han Guo Ji Ba! Why are you trying to omit the Ba? Are you seeking death?"
[1] Jiba means d*ck in Chinese.

549 Tell Me Your Number; I Want You to Serve Me Later
Xu Que hit the rich young man again for omitting the word "Ba."
"I am sorry for my behavior," the young man said. "I am terribly sorry! Yes, my name is now Han Guo Ji Ba!"
The young man's face was swollen from Xu Que's attacks and Buttface's saliva was still sliding down his face.
"You look disgusting!" Xu Que shouted, repulsed by the young man's appearance.
In the past, Xu Que would have definitely killed Han Guoqiang by now. However, Xu Que had promised the Water Empress that he would not kill anyone if he could help it. Thus, Xu Que decided to spare Han Guo Ji Ba so the Water Empress would not be angry with him. Besides, he now preferred publicly humiliating people over merely killing them.
The young man was humiliated, terrified, and shocked. If there had been a well nearby, he definitely would have dove into it.
Everyone watching was stunned.
"This is too much!"
"He is such a cruel man! If I were Han Guoqiang, I would be wishing that he would just kill me!"
"Same here! Just look at his swollen face! It must be very painful. And the saliva, how disgusting!"
"And why does this guy want to call him "Han Guo Ji Ba" anyway?"
"Good question. I don't think this new name actually means anything. He's probably just toying with him."
After thinking it over, Xu Que felt he had shamed this man enough. It was time to let this young rich man go.
"Remember, your name will be Han Guo Ji Ba from this time forth! When you return home, tell your brother that he must change his name as well. His new name shall be Han Guo Bai! If either of you fails to keep these new names, I will loot the homes of your entire family! Do you hear me!?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Han Guo Ji Ba cried, nodding.
"Pipi Shrimp, let's go!" Xu Que said.
Xu Que then lifted his leg in an attempt to swing it over Buttface so he could ride on him. However, Buttface backed away.
"F*ck!" Buttface cursed. "I call you my friend, and now you want to ride on me?"
"Sh*t! Mind your language! You really are a pervert. I don't want to ride on you at all! You really are disgusting!" Xu Que shouted.
Buttface spat at Xu Que in retaliation, but Xu Que quickly moved aside to dodge it. Xu Que spat back at Buttface. Soon, the two were having a genuine spitting match. Spit was flying everywhere, causing many people in the crowd to vacate the area.
Everyone was shocked.
What's going on?! Why are they suddenly spitting at each other?
A young man who looked like a student stepped forward. A glop of Buttface's saliva was on the student's forehead.
"You are disgraceful! You can't possibly call yourself a scholar!" the student shouted.
While Xu Que and Buttface were managing to dodge each other's saliva, the people around them were not so lucky. Many people in the crowd were now covered in spit, but no one but the young student had the balls to complain. However, Xu Que and Buttface didn't give a sh*t. They just continued to spit at each other.
Finally, some of Xu Que's saliva landed in Buttface's eyes.
"F*ck! Stop!" Buttface screamed.
Knowing that he could not win against Xu Que, Buttface ran away.
"Coward!" Xu Que sneered as he watched Buttface disappear.
The remaining viewers were completely stunned.
I have never seen an elite like him! He must be the only elite who would ever want to play spitting games with a dog!
Now that Xu Que had successfully bullied his bullier and won against Buttface in a spitting contest, it was finally time to meet with the Water Empress. Xu Que turned away from the small crowd and silently walked into the Bright Moon Hotel.
Now that the commotion had settled, he began to feel very excited about meeting the Water Empress in this unfamiliar place.
He was reminded of the time he attended university for the first time in his previous life. He had gone to that unfamiliar place full of excitement, for he expected to meet the most beautiful girl in his high school there.
As Xu Que entered the lobby, he was greeted by a beautiful young girl dressed in a regal uniform. The young girl smiled and gently extended her hand.
"Hello, young gentleman. Please show me your ID."
"What ID?" Xu Que said, surprised.
"We at the Bright Moon Hotel only serve elites, holy sons, and holy daughters. Is this your first time coming here? Allow me to explain. You must pass a Cultivation Stage test. If you pass the test, you will be issued an ID, then you will be able to stay here," the young girl explained, smiling.
Cultivation Stage test? Well, that will be easy for me!
Xu Que nodded. "How does this Cultivation Stage test work? Do I need to fight against you?"
The young girl was a bit surprised at this comment and could not help laughing.
"This way, please," she said.
This was the first time that she had seen an elite like Xu Que. Before now, she had only met elites, holy sons, and holy daughters who were arrogant and indifferent.
The young girl began to lead Xu Que through the hotel corridors. The rooms and hallways were beautifully decorated. This place was as magnificent inside as it was outside.
As they passed what he assumed to be the main hall, he saw many young men and women sitting at large tables. All of them were above the Infant Transformation Stage. There were many young girls dressed in the same uniform as his escort. They were serving all sorts of fancy dishes to the cultivators. The sight reminded him of what he believed eating at a grand hotel back on earth must have been like.
"Hey, so this hotel seems very orderly and accommodating. I wonder, do you provide any special services to your guests?" Xu Que said with a smile.
"If you have an ID, we will provide you with any service that you wish," the young girl politely replied. Obviously, she didn't know what Xu Que meant by "special services."
"Oh! Tell me your number. I want you to serve me later!"
My number? Why? What does he want me to serve him?
Just as the young girl was about to ask Xu Que for clarification, an old man walked forward to meet them.
"Elder Yun, this young man wishes to take the test," the young girl said respectfully. She then looked at Xu Que. "I shall leave now. Please follow Elder Yun. He will give you further instructions about the test."
"Thanks," Xu Que said with a nod.
This man is at the Void Training Stage, Xu Que thought in surprise. He seems even more powerful than the three women I met in that burnt forest. I never thought I would meet someone so powerful here in the Bright Moon Hotel.
"On the contrary," the old man began, "I don't think there is a need for this young man to take the test. He is indeed at the Infant Transformation Stage, even if he is just at the fourth level. Still, this accomplishment is quite something! Young man, you may have an ID after paying for it with your Spiritual Stones at the counter."
Elder Yun glanced at Xu Que and gently shook his head. He then turned around and walked away.

550 The Three Sections of the Building
Xu Que followed the old man's movements with his eyes as the old man was walking away from him.
Sh*t! This old guy is also quite good at acting tough!
The old man must have sensed Xu Que's emotions or something because the old man turned back around and stared at him from across the corridor. Xu Que gave the old man a polite smile and nod.
This old guy was at level six or seven of the Void Training Stage, meaning he was extremely powerful. If Xu Que ever offended this old guy, he would have to run away again before he could meet with the Water Empress, which wouldn't be any fun.
The old man was staring at him as if examining him for faults. Xu Que's escort sensed the uneasiness between the two men. She didn't dare lead Xu Que to the front counter just yet.
Did I just offend him? Xu Que thought, confused. But, I didn't do anything! Is he trying to get me in trouble?
"So… what was your name again? Oh yes, Elder Yun. Ahem. Why are you staring at me?" Xu Que asked, stating his last question in a mock Northeastern Chinese accent.
The girl beside him became concerned with Xu Que's rudeness.
"My lord, please watch your tongue!" she pleaded.
However, the old man remained emotionless. After a short stretch of silence, the old man shook his head and spoke to Xu Que in a low, purposeful voice.
"My young friend, your murderous mien is much too intense!" the old man warned. He then turned around and left, ignoring Xu Que's disrespectful behavior.
Xu Que was stunned.
Murderous mien? Too intense?
The Water Empress used to give him the same advice. She said that his intense murderous mien might negatively influence his cultivation, so she asked him to stop killing people at will.
At the time, Xu Que didn't take her words seriously. After all, it was only by killing people that he was able to reach such a high cultivation level. Plus, cultivating through killing people was much faster than cultivating through absorbing Spiritual Qi. However, now this old man was giving him the same advice…
What is the meaning of this advice?
"My lord, please follow me!" the girl beside him said. However, her facial expression seemed strange, like she was forcing a smile.
If the Elder Yun said this man's murderous mien was too much, then this man must be a cold-blooded killer, which terrified her. She hadn't expected such a gentle and handsome young man to be a murderer!
"Young lady, please ignore that old man's nonsense. As a scholar, how could I possibly have such an intense murderous mien? I think what he meant to say was that I am too handsome!" Xu Que explained with a smile.
"My Lord, please show respect to Elder Yun!" the shocked girl reminded with a hollow smile. "He is the Lord of the Earth Section of the Bright Moon Hotel! Also, he is an elder of the Illusionary Flower and Moon Sect!"
"Say, do you think I would be even more handsome if I changed my hair? Should I try making my bangs curly? Or wavy perhaps?" Xu Que asked, ignoring the girl's words.
The girl was stunned.
Change your hairstyle? Curly or wavy? What's the meaning of this!? I can't stand this much longer!
"Eh, my lord, please follow me! I will take you to the front counter so you can receive your ID. It will just cost you five best-grade spirit stones," she explained.
"D*mn! You're saying I need to spend five best-grade spirit stones just to get an ID? That is way too expensive! Is your hotel illegal, because this is a ripoff! Do you even have a Business License?" Xu Que asked, his eyes wide.
The girl couldn't believe this guy. Five best-grade spirit stones was mere pocket change to cultivators at the Infant Transformation stage. This was the first time that anyone had ever complained about the price of a simple ID card, not to mention the first time anyone had asked if this hotel was illegal…
What the h*ll? How could this guy be an elite?
"OK, OK," Xu Que acquiesced. "I can see you're upset. You're right, it's only five best-grade spirit stones. I can afford it! Here, take this and keep the change as a tip!" Xu Que said, waving his hand as if he was suddenly a generous millionaire.
Xu Que gave the girl five best-grade spirit stones and one low-grade spirit stone.
The girl choked and almost fainted.
Just one low-grade Spirit Stone! So much for a tip! This elite has no shame!
"Thank…you, my Lord!" the girl said with a hollow smile. She didn't want to talk with Xu Que anymore for fear that she might spit blood.
The girl led Xu Que back to the gate of the Bright Moon Hotel and gave him a round wooden plate.
"My lord, please pour your Soul Strength into this plate. Once you do this, it will become your ID. You can then use it to enter the Earth Section any time you wish. Any time you decide to stay at the Bright Moon Hotel, we will provide you with a room and meals free of charge."
"The Earth Section? Is the hotel divided into different sections?" Xu Que asked with furrowed eyebrows as he recieved the wooden plate.
"Yes, there are eighteen floors in the Bright Moon Hotel. The Earth Section is reserved for elites at the Infant Transformation stage and extends from the first floor to the ninth floor. The Heaven Section, which is reserved for elites at the Void Training Stage, extends from the tenth floor to the fifteenth floor. Finally, the Star-Picking Section is reserved for sovereigns at the Form Synthesis Stage and extends from the sixteenth floor to the eighteenth floor," the girl explained.
Because certain areas of the hotel were reserved for individuals based on their cultivation level, some areas of the hotel were more lively than others. The Star-Picking Section was almost always empty. The Heaven Section was generally quiet as well. Only the Earth Section was constantly crowded and bustling with activity.
This reservation system was not Xu Que's cup of tea. But hey, he didn't have to run the place. However, he seriously needed to find the Water Empress.
"Your hotel is so big. What if I had a friend here but I didn't know what room she was staying in. What then?"
"You could ask us to deliver a message for you if that's all you needed. Or, if she agreed to meet with you, we could inform you of her room number. However…"
"What?"
"My Lord, please remember that fighting is strictly prohibited inside the Bright Moon Hotel! Anyone who violates this rule will be killed!
"H*ll, do I look like a man who likes fighting?" Xu Que said, his eyes wide.
What the h*ll!? Just because I have an intense murderous mien doesn't mean I'm going to go on a killing spree inside the hotel! You don't need to take precautions by threatening my life like this! This is discrimination! This is unfair treatment!
The girl smiled slightly without saying a word. However, in her mind, she was quite sure that Xu Que was exactly what he claimed not to be: a man who likes fighting!
"Whatever! I have important business to attend to. You'll get what's coming to you later," Xu Que said, giving the girl a pretentiously ferocious glare. "Now. Would you please check where Jiang Hongyan is staying? Just tell her that the innocent and handsome boy from the Exploding Heavens Faction has arrived.
The innocent and handsome boy?
Snigger!
The girl was again surprised at how shameless this man was! How could he even bring himself to utter those words? They didn't describe him at all! Once her amusement faded, she realized the significance of the name Jian Hongyan. She was immediately stunned.
"My Lord, you mean… Are you really looking for Jiang Hongyan?" the girl asked in amazement.
"Of course! I know her very well! She told me to meet her here," Xu Que said, nodding his head.
"So you're saying that your friend is… Jiang Hongyan of the Jiang Family?" the girl asked in surprise and disbelief.
"Yes!"
"My Lord, are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure! Why do you have so many questions? Do you really doubt my words so much? Hmph! Do you believe that I could torture you with my big… puff! No, do you believe that I could punch your chest with my little fists?" Xu Que asked, placing his fists in front of the girl's chest as a warning.

551 Helen of Troy
Punch my chest with your little fists?
The young girl had never heard such a strange remark.
"Sorry, I was being rather inconsiderate and impolite. Please forgive me," she said, forcing a smile.
"Never mind. Where is Jiang Hongyan?" Xu Que asked, waving his hands frantically.
He was through joking with this girl. He figured that something must have happened to the Water Empress; otherwise, the young girl would have simply told him where she was.
"I am sorry to tell you that Lady Jiang Hongyan is already gone. She left just a few days ago," the young girl replied.
"What?!" Xu Que was stunned.
This can't be true. We decided we would meet here. I even came here earlier than we had discussed. She can't be gone already!
"And one more thing," she said, her face serious. "I suggest you don't tell anyone else here in the hotel that you are an old acquaintance of Lady Jiang Hongyan, otherwise…" She suddenly smiled. "I must be going. Make yourself at home."
She then turned around, walking away so that she could help a group of people who had just entered the hotel. They were all happily conversing with each other. They were also all in the Infant Transformation Stage.
The two young women were in the ninth level of the Infant Transformation Stage. The young man was in the tenth level of the Infant Transformation Stage—he was about to reach the Void Training Stage! There were also a few more people behind them who were just entering the lobby.
Xu Que knew that she needed to help these people, but he still had questions that needed answering!
"Hey, what did you mean by that?" he asked as he caught up to her.
The young girl stopped and turned back to Xu Que.
"I haven't said anything," she replied politely.
"You know exactly what I mean. Fine, since you don't want to tell me, I'll just ask these youngsters about what they think about those who are friends of Lady Jiang Hongyan. Perhaps they'll be able to help me!" Xu Que said, smiling.
He started toward the three cultivators, but the young girl stopped him.
"Fine! I will tell you!" she said.
"Please do," Xu Que said with a smile.
"Lady Jiang Hongyan is a woman who breeds misfortune, like Helen of Troy," the girl said in a hushed voice. "She hasn't been here in decades. I never thought she would dare return at such a significant time… The Jiang Family, the Gong Family, the Bai Family… all the influential factions want to get their hands on her. Because of these many pursuers, she was not safe here in this hotel, which is why she left.
"..." Xu Que was speechless.
Xu Que almost cursed at the girl when she compared Jiang Hongyan to Helen of Troy. However, it became clear that she wasn't using the term as an insult, so he held his tongue.
So, the Water Empress is a regular Helen of Troy here in the East Continent, huh? Hmm… what is that supposed to mean exactly? Yes, Jiang Hongyan is a beauty! But it does not make any sense for her to be targeted simply because of her beauty.
I have never heard of the Bai Family before, but I seem to remember that the Jiang Family is rather influential here in the Eastern Continent. Since the Jiang Family is in the same rank as the Gong Family, obviously, the Jiang Family is very powerful.
"You said you were surprised that she came here at "such a significant time." What do you mean by that?" Xu Que asked in a low voice. If he was going to help the Water Empress, he needed to figure out what was really going on here.
"Do you really know nothing about the situation?" she asked, surprised. "Lady Jiang Hongyan is an incredibly powerful woman, but her full power has not yet been unlocked. If she had not failed to complete her cultivation, she would have become the most powerful person in the world. At this time, The Mystery Land Trial is about to begin. Her sudden appearance just before the trial is sure to make her even more of a target," she said.
"Are you saying that she can't participate in the Mystery Land Trial?" Xu Que frowned.
Xu Que had heard about the Mystery Land Trial in the South Continent quite a few times. But he had no idea what it was or how important it was.
"Lady Jiang Hongyan is the most talented person I have ever laid eyes on," the girl said carefully. "If she joins the Mystery Land Trial and completes her cultivation, she will definitely become the most powerful person in the world. She would then be able to shift the very balance of the world if she wanted to. If she set her mind to it, she could destroy any faction she wanted. This is why the influential factions want to capture her so badly, to make sure that doesn't happen."
Shift the balance of the world? But her cultivating failed? Could the incantation contained in One Turning Into Three Pure Pellucid Ones have something to do with this? The Water Empress told me that she couldn't continue with her cultivation because she only has two of the six parts of the incantation. Now she has three of the six parts since I gave part three to her, but the incantation is still not complete. I thought this incantation was only meant to create doppelgangers. I never thought it could be used to shift the balance of the world!
The Water Empress has enough talent to make anyone envious of her, but she has been told all her life that she was born to be a woman of misfortune. Of course, she wants to change her fate. She hoped she could change her fate by gathering the six parts of One Turning Into Three Pure Pellucid Ones, but she has been unable to find all the parts. Now, she is hoping that she can change her fate by entering the Mystery Land Trial. However, all the influential families in the East Continent are afraid of what she'll do to them if she completes her cultivation, so they are forbidding her from participating in the Mystery Land Trial.
"I can understand how nearly every family and faction is unwilling to let her join the Mystery Land Trial, but the Jiang Family? If she becomes the most powerful person in the world, wouldn't that be a good thing for them? Why are they also against her?" Xu Que asked, confused.

552 The Water Empress with the Rocky Fate
The young girl was confused at Xu Que's words. She eyed Xu Que, wondering why he knew so little.
"My Lord, are you really a friend of Jiang Hongyan?" she asked.
"Of course!" Xu Que nodded. "She just never told me anything about her family!"
"But everyone in the East Continent knows about the Jiang Family! Why don't you?" The girl blinked.
"Because I am not from the East Continent," Xu Que replied calmly.
The girl nodded. Since Xu Que was not from the East Continent, it made sense that he did not possess this seemingly common knowledge.
"My Lord," the girl began, "while it is true that Jiang Hongyan is a member of the Jiang Family, it has been foretold that her future holds nothing but misfortune. Her mother also suffered this ominous fate. Before Jiang Hongyan was born, her mother was able to suppress this ominous fate. However, once she gave birth to another unfortunate soul, both their fates were sealed. Their mere presence was enough to bring great misfortune upon the Jiang family as well as catastrophic damage. Anywhere they went, bad luck would follow."
"How do you know that the misfortune was because of Jiang Hongyan and her mother having an "ominous fate?" It might just have been a coincidence!" Xu Que said, shaking his head.
Xu Que didn't believe in this so-called ominous fate. Fate was something invisible and senseless. There was no way to prove that such a thing even existed.
"It was no coincidence," she said. "Ask anyone. They will be able to list off many ominous things that happened after Jiang Hongyan was born. Did you know that her parents died while searching for a method to change her fate? Luckily, just before they died, they found a magic art capable of temporarily suppressing her ominous fate. This art was incomplete, but still, it was something."
"Even before this discovery, Jiang Hongyan made great leaps in her cultivation. She became virtually invincible among her peers. It remained this way for several years. Her status as a sovereign was well-deserved. It is a pity that the fate-suppressing magic art is still incomplete. As it stands, she cannot even make it to the Infant Transformation Stage. If she could only find the rest of the incantation, she would be able to reach the highest level of the Void Training Stage with the snap of her fingers. She would maybe even jump straight to the Form Synthesis Stage!
"She is… so awesome!" Xu Que uttered.
Xu Que was practically speechless. He thought that the improvements to his cultivation level that he made by killing people were impressive. He didn't expect the Water Empress' skills to be even more awesome!
Could it be true that she would have reached the Form Synthesis Stage by now if she had been able to find all six parts of that magic art?
"Why doesn't the Jiang family help her to complete the fate-suppressing magic art?" he asked. "If she had the complete art, the Jiang Family would have another powerhouse at the Form Synthesis Stage. Wouldn't they want that?"
"When she was first born, the Jiang Family wanted to help Jiang Hongyan and her mother find a way to reverse their ominous fate," the girl explained. "However, once Jiang Hongyan's parents died about one hundred years ago, everyone in the family stopped caring about her. Part of this was because the Patriarch of the Jiang family had just started his secluded cultivation, so he wasn't able to direct the Jiang family on how to handle the situation. Without his guidance, the members of the Jiang family decided to seize her parents' belongings and distribute them amongst themselves. They then drove Jiang Hongyan out of the East Continent to forever rid the Jiang family of her ominous fate."
"Sh*t! The Jiang family has no shame! How dare they bully my… ahem, bully a little girl?" Xu Que said.
He hadn't known much about the Water Empress' past. No one ever told him about it. No one ever wanted to. Now that he knew more about what she had been through and what she was still going through, he felt so pissed off!
He hadn't expected the Water Empress to really have such an unfortunate past. He had known that she lost her parents when she was young, but he didn't know that her relatives took all of her parents' belongings and kicked her off the continent. She was a sovereign, yet she had to wander from place to place until she decided to make her home on shabby Five Elements Mountain.
"Alas, big families like the Jiang family are full of internal conflict," the girl said. "I doubt they would ever accept Jiang Hongyan as their Holy Virgin. Word has begun to spread that there are other ancient magic arts in the South Continent that could suppress her fate. People on the East Continent are afraid that if Jiang Hongyan uses one of these magic arts to complete her cultivation, she will become an even stronger powerhouse. The Jiang family is especially worried about this happening. They are afraid that if she completes her cultivation, she will come back to the East Continent and seize the Jiang family's power."
The young girl shook her head. It seemed that she felt sympathy for Jiang Hongyan.
Xu Que was amazed at how calm the Water Empress always was. How could she ever be calm after being thrown through so many of life's horrible twists and turns?
If someone had ever treated me like this, I would have destroyed them, or at least given them a little taste of their own medicine.
Xu Que hoped that the water Empress had been able to put the third part of One Turning Into Three Pure Pellucid Ones to use. Surely, she had been able to use it to further her cultivation. Perhaps she could reach the Void Training Stage even without the other six parts.
"My Lord, here's my advice for you. Please, stay out of this. You see those elites over there?" she said, referencing the young cultivators who had entered the lobby. "Those are sovereigns of the Jiang family and the Gong family. I'm glad I warned you about all this because if they knew you were a friend of Jiang Hongyan, they would definitely be out to get you!" she warned.
The girl, having declared her final warning, left to help the group of influential cultivators check-in.
The Jiang family and the Gong family?
Xu Que looked at the group of cultivators. The young girl had begun to check their IDs.
The young man who was at level ten of the Infant Transformation Stage was undoubtedly the leader of the group. Xu Que would have a tough time if they ever got into a fight. The two ladies behind him were at level nine of the Infant Transformation Stage. The rest of the cultivators in the group were all at level six or seven of the Infant Transformation Stage. If they all decided to attack Xu Que together, he wouldn't stand a chance. Xu Que counted himself lucky that he didn't have "I am a friend of Jiang Hongyan" written on his face.
The group of cultivators had all been checked in now and began to walk past him to find their rooms.
"D*mn! I need to improve my strength, and fast! I have to seize this precious opportunity to be the hero and save the damsel in distress!" Xu Que murmured to himself.
"What?" said one of the female cultivators, stopping and staring at Xu Que with a puzzled expression.
Xu Que stared back, like a deer caught in headlights. He didn't want to do anything to provoke these people. His mind raced for how to get out of this situation. However, the girl that was staring at him was so beautiful that her gaze was making him nervous.
Sh*t! Why are you staring at me like this? Is it wrong for me to be so handsome?
Xu Que frowned slightly. He didn't have one ounce of caring for these people knowing that they were from the Jiang and Gong families. The girl staring at him also frowned.
"Gong Yue, what's wrong?" a man in the group asked.
Gong Yue shook her head.
"Nothing, let's go," she said.
The group of cultivators proceeded forward, ignoring Xu Que.
They all seemed quite arrogant. It was no surprise that they had no interest in speaking to a cultivator like Xu Que who was only at level four of the Infant Transformation Stage. It was only Gong Yue who had given him any notice.
Gong Yue suddenly stopped. She turned around to look at Xu Que again.
"Fellow cultivator, what's your name, please?"
Her companions came to a stop as well. They were confused as to why she was so interested in this guy.
Xu Que was also shocked.
Why is this lady at level nine of the Infant Transformation Stage asking me what my name is?
"I am Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction," he said calmly. "I am an apprentice of Yui Hatano. What can I do for you, young lady?"

553 Fine, I Will Tell You Who I Really Am
Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction? An apprentice of Yui Hatano?
Everyone was surprised. They had never heard or either the Exploding Heavens Faction or Yui Hatano. In the Eastern Continent, apprentices announced the names of their teacher only if their teacher was famous. Being as no one recognized these terms, the group of elites figured that Xu Que had just recently become an elite.
Gong Yue stared at Xu Que.
"Why is it that I can feel a slight trace of the energy of the Gong family on you?!" she exclaimed.
Normally, if a member of the Gong family was able to pick up the energy of the Gong family on someone who was not actually a member of the family, it meant that that person had killed a member of the Gong family. Gong Yue hadn't heard anything about the status of Gong Feng's visit to Five Elements Mountain. And now this man showed up with a slight trace of Gong-family energy on him…
Xu Que knew he was in trouble.
Obviously, Xu Que knew what Gone Yue was referring to. Xu Que had in fact killed Gong Feng, and very recently on top of that. When he opened Gong Feng's Storage Ring, a ray of red light fell upon Xu Que. Buttface had destroyed the red stream of light, but not before a little bit of it could penetrate Xu Que's body.
Buttface had explained that the red light had the ability to leave a mark that would identify anyone who had killed a member of the Gong family. However, Buttface assured him that since he had destroyed the light so quickly, the energy would be so faint no one could possibly detect it. This is why Xu Que thought that the effects of the red light wouldn't cause him any trouble.
However, he never thought he would run into other members of the Gong family during his first day on the East Continent. He also hadn't expected anyone to be able to pick up the trace of Gong-family energy that he had inside him.
"I'm sorry, I am a scholar who has never met any member of the Gong family!"
Xu Que said, pretending he knew nothing about what she was talking about.
"Tell me," Gong Yue frowned, "are you sure you have not met anyone from the Gong family recently?"
"I have not! I just finished my cultivation and came here through a teleportation array. I have never seen anyone from the Gong Family. Though come to think of it, I did meet an ugly, old beggar. I gave him some Spiritual Stones. He became so excited. He kept on shaking my hand."
"An ugly, old beggar?!" Gong Yue exclaimed. Her peers were also shocked. "How dare you! How dare you insult my family?!"
I just asked if you'd met anyone from the Gong family recently, and then you go on to say that you met an ugly, old beggar. Are you implying that that beggar is a member of my family?! How dare you say such a thing?! My family is incredibly influential! There couldn't possibly be a beggar in my family!
Everyone's attention was on Gong Yue. This woman came from an influential family and was in the ninth level of the Infant Transformation Stage. In other words, she was an elite with a great reputation.
"How can that young man who is only in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage dare to offend Gong Yue like this?"
"He is in deep sh*t!"
"Offending Gong Yue is tantamount to offending the entire Gong family as well as the Jiang family."
"This unfortunate young man is out of luck. Isn't that right, Jiang Shan," someone said.
Jiang Shan was one of the members in this group of elites. He was incredibly powerful. In fact, he was in the running to be the Jiang family's next holy son. Jiang Shan was also very close to Gong Yue.
Xu Que frowned. He hadn't wanted any of this happen at all. He simply wanted to know the Water Empress' whereabouts and how to find her…
Why I am so unlucky today?!
A young man in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage stepped forward.
"What's your name again? Li…? Do you have any idea who I am?!" the man said.
"No… You are you?" Xu Que said, looking purposely perplexed.
"My my! This little young man doesn't even know who we are! And he's still got the balls to talk in nonsense here in the Bright Moon Hotel. Haven't you?!" the young man sneered.
"Let's go inside," Jiang Shan said to Gong Yue, glancing at Xu Que coldly.
Gong Yue nodded and turned around without hesitation.
"Fighting isn't allowed inside the hotel," Jiang Shan stated coldly, his back to Xu Que. "Kick this fool out and kill him. I want it done neat and tidy. Remember, do not stain the place with his blood."
"Yes!" his peers answered in unison.
Xu Que's face fell. He hadn't meant to offend these people. How could he have known that Jiang Shan would be so overly arrogant and rude?
Obviously, Jiang Shan was an authority figure to among this group of people. They didn't hesitate to follow his instructions. Being as Jiang Shan ordered his peers to kill Xu Que, It was evident that Jiang Shan didn't want to do it himself. This was beneficial to Xu Que, for it was one less opponent to deal with at the moment. Still, Xu Que could not possibly win against them if they decided to attack him together.
To win against them, I need to make them believe that I am a weak coward. Once they take the bait, I will kill each of them outside, one by one. Then I'll come back in to teach Jiang Shan and Gong Yue a good lesson.
"Please don't! I am just a scholar!" Xu Que cried. "You don't have any reason to be offended!"
The elites began to laugh at Xu Que.
"Haha! He is such a coward!"
"A person like him could never become a holy son!"
"I thought he would at least fight back, either verbally or physically, but it turns out that he really is just a coward!"
I can't kill them in here. I have to get them outside the hotel...
"I...I shall leave now!" Xu Que said, acting terrified.
Xu Que turned around and began to make his way towards the exit. However, a group of guards was blocking the exit to the hotel. The guard in front was obviously the Captain of the Guard. He was in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation stage.
"Which one of you is Li Bai?! Show your f*cking face!" the Captain of the Guard said, his face dark.
Everyone was silent. All the elites were stunned.
How on earth has a coward like Li Bai made enemies with the Captain of the Guard of Tian Luo City?
Suddenly, a voice from behind the guards resounded.
"Brother! It's him!"
Xu Que struggled to look past the guards to see who was speaking. It was a young man. His face was swollen and he was pointing at Xu Que. If the man with the swollen face was calling this guy brother, then that could only mean...
"Han Guosheng, that man is Li Bai! He's the one who beat me so harshly and spat on me in front of everyone! He's the one who forced me to change my name!"
The elites were stunned again.
What?! This weak coward beat up Han Guosheng's brother and spat on him?! No way! This can't be true!
"So you are Li Bai?!" Han Guosheng yelled.
"F*ck you!" Xu Que cursed.
Xu Que spat on Han Guosheng. He then took a few steps backward and took out his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
"F*ck all of you! I am tired of pretending to be a weak coward!"

554 The Rule of No Fighting doesn“t Exist!
Han Guoqiang, Han Guosheng, and all the others were stunned!
Just a moment ago, this weak-looking young man was stuttering, saying "I need to go now." Now, he had suddenly become a brute. First, he spat on Han Guosheng's face. Then, he cursed and started provoking the elites who supported Gong Yue to fight against him. He arrogantly claimed that he could fight them alone. It turned out that this "weak" guy was putting on an act this whole time!
My Gosh!
He has no shame!
Sticky saliva was sliding down Han Guosheng's face. He was beyond irritated. He was Captain of the Guard of Tian Luo City and was at level six of the Infant Transformation Stage. No one had ever dared to insult him like this! It was outrageous!
"Kill him! Kill him now!" Han Guosheng shouted, pointing at Xu Que.
The anger in his heart could only be eliminated by seeing Xu Que get cut into one thousand pieces. However, no one moved. Everyone knew that if they fought inside the hotel, they would be sentenced to death.
Several sovereigns standing in the back started to sneer at Xu Que.
"We were almost cheated by you, you malicious and treacherous brat!"
"However, it doesn't matter if you are acting or not. Whether you are coward or a treacherous villain, you will face certain death today!"
"A villain like you can't get away with offending Miss Gong Yue and Lord Jiang Shan!"
All the elites were smiling coldly. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent.
When Xu Que was still acting like a weakling, the elites were merely under the orders of Jiang Shan to kill Xu Que. They were not actually angry with him. However, they were now annoyed because they were fooled by Xu Que's innocent appearance. Their faces were full of fury.
"You're all just a bunch of trash!" Xu Que sneered. "You guys all have higher cultivation levels than me, yet you can't even gather up ten people to fight me! Come one! Just try to gang up on me! My Kirin Arms hunger for battle!"
I am so aggressive, domineering and b*tchy!
Xu Que and the group of elites were making such a ruckus that they began to attract the attention of everyone within earshot. The other sovereigns in and near the lobby began to watch the scene expectantly.
When Xu Que was acting like a coward, no one was interested in what was going on. However, seeing that this guy had an aggressive side, everyone's interest was piqued. It was impressive that he wanted to fight ten opponents by himself.
"He is just a cultivator at level four of the Infant Transformation Stage. He is being too reckless!"
"This is turning out to be interesting!"
"I'm excited to see what happens!"
"He's got a big mouth, that's for sure. Fighting is prohibited in the Bright Moon Hotel. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed on the spot."
The onlookers near the lobby were wagging their tongues and prepared to enjoy the fun. Even people who had rooms on the upper floors were attracted by the noise in the lobby.
Jiang Shan and Gong Yue were still at the beginning of their walk up to the ninth floor of the Earth Section. Only the most powerful sovereigns of the Infant Transformation Stage were allowed on this floor. Therefore, cultivators staying on this floor were leading figures among the other cultivators in the Infant Transformation Stage.
"That guy is so weird and erratic," Gong Yue said, furrowing her eyebrows. "And he has a trace of energy from the Gong family. Where did he even come from?"
Gong Yue glanced back at the lobby, looking at Xu Que. Jiang Shan also glanced back at him, his expression indifferent.
"Don't worry about it. He's just going to die anyway."
Jiang Shan was always simple and crude. It didn't matter how weird Xu Que was or whether or not Xu Que had killed members of the Gong Family. Jiang Shan had found an excuse to kill him, so he was going to die. Simple as that.
Jiang Shan was a true powerhouse who preferred killing Xu Que over letting him escape. He was uninhibited and fearless, being as he was backed by the Jiang family, one of the overlords of the East Continent.
There were a few people with rooms reserved in the Heaven Section of the hotel who were startled by the noise coming from the lobby. These people were all holy sons and holy virgins at the Void Training Stage.
As the Holy Sons and Holy Virgins, these people enjoyed a position of dominance amongst the World of Cultivators. These people were often the future heirs of influential families or sects. People like this had such great power that they could do anything they wanted within the East Continent.
Holy Sons and Holy Virgins seldom visited the Bright Moon Hotel. Though, occasionally, a group of these powerful cultivators would come to the hotel to steal a bit of leisure time from their busy lives.
"Interesting!" exclaimed a man staying in the Heaven Section. "The Bright Moon Hotel hasn't been this lively for many years!"
The man's eyes were large and deep. He had a strand of golden light between his eyebrows that resembled a rune mark and was an inherent birthmark. The mark gave off a formidable aura.
Beside him was an extremely beautiful and graceful lady. She resembled the Fairy of Nine Heavens who came down to earth. She looked toward the lobby. When she caught sight of Xu Que, she gave a faint smile.
"Yes, this must be the first instance in several centuries that someone has caused such a scene. I have forgotten the last time a person stirred up so much attention here," the beautiful lady said.
Another lady was beside them as well. Her face was veiled and she was dressed all in white.
"I met that young man on my way here. I didn't expect him to be able to enter this hotel," the lady in white said with a slight smile.
This lady in white was, in fact, the powerful lady at the Void Training Stage that Xu Que had met earlier that day in the burnt forest.
The handsome man and the beautiful lady were shocked at her words.
"Qin Ji," The man said, smiling, "the Bright Moon Hotel is protected by your Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect. That young man is causing trouble. Aren't you going to deal with him personally?"
"Xiao Taixuan, is the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect mocking my Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect? That young man is too weak to cause trouble in this building!"
"Please, you two," the beautiful lady said. "We seldom see each other. Is it really necessary for both of you to trade barbs like this? Please don't forget why we are here today!"
"Miss Han Ying is correct!" Xiao Taixuan exclaimed with a smile and a nod. "We should focus on the business at hand! Jiang Hongyan has been missing ever since her departure from the Bright Moon Hotel. Have you two received any news of her?"
"My people managed to follow her for hundreds of miles," said Qin Ji, "but she managed to kill them all. I conducted an investigation today but found out nothing. Han Ying, your Heaven Secret Pavilion has a knack for predicting the Heaven's will. You have many apprentices in your sect, don't you? Do you have any news about her?"
"Not much, I am afraid," Han Ying said as she shook her head. "The only two things I am sure of is that Jiang Hongyan has come here for her 69 Heavenly Tribulations and that she is not planning to seize the Jiang family's power. Of course, I assume that she is also planning to participate in the Mystery Land Trial in the South Continent."
"It seems she has obtained new fragments of her incomplete magic art. If this were not the case, she would not be ready for the 69 Heavenly Tribulations."
"She must be stopped. If she manages to finish the Mystery Land Trial and complete her magic art, no one will be able to stop her!"
"There are countless geniuses among our peers. However, there is no one who is as talented in the art of performance as Jiang Hongyan. Her cultivation is far ahead of ours. If she has already completed her magic art, I am afraid that it is more than likely that she has already reached the highest level of the Form Synthesis Stage, or perhaps an even higher stage."
"Don't worry. The Gong family, the Bai family, and even the Jiang family are looking for her. Together with our sects, we can locate her soon."
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que and the group of elites were in a stalemate. No one was attacking each other. The sovereigns just sneered a Xu Que.
"Do you plan to annoy us so that we will break the rules of the hotel by attacking you first? Did you think that we would be so dull as to get ourselves killed by the experts of the Bright Moon Hotel? Stop your daydreaming!"
"Do you think we can be fooled by your petty trick of threatening to kill us with a borrowed knife?" one of the sovereigns said sarcastically.
As a sovereign, one was expected to be clearheaded and rational. Even Han Guosheng, who had been spat on by Xu Que, restrained his fury by ordering his men to merely surround Xu Que. He didn't dare command his men to attack.
The hotel staff had made it quite clear that there were a lot of powerhouses at level seven and eight of the Void Training Stage in the Bright Moon Hotel and that anyone who dared to fight in the building would be killed instantly by them.
"You cowards are in no position for me to tell me what to do with this borrowed knife," Xu Que said. "The Bright Moon Hotel is just a hotel, which means nothing! To me, the rule of no fighting in this building doesn't exist!"
Whoosh!
Xu Que waved the Dark Heavy Buster Sword in his hand, creating a powerful airwave. He then dashed towards Han Guosheng.

555 I am Coming Again
Bang!
Xu Que stepped onto the floor of the Bright Moon Hotel and all of a sudden, the floor fell into pieces, countless tiny wood pieces floating in the air.
Xu Que took out his Dark Heavy Buster Sword and was about to hit Han Guosheng.
Bang!
A huge explosion boomed in the void, and the entire void rippled.
Before Han Guosheng realized, the Dark Heavy Buster Sword was moving closer and closer to him, and the next moment, he was hit harshly by it.
He was blown away by the energy, his nose beginning to bleed.
Seeing this, everyone present was shocked. None of them thought Xu Que, who was only in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage, could have been this powerful.
After all, Han Guosheng was in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage and was much more powerful than most people watching, and just now, he had been hit so hard by Xu Que.
Although Xu Que used a sneak-attack on Han Guosheng, it was just incomprehensible that Han Guosheng had failed to fight back. It meant that Xu Que was much more powerful than anyone else in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage.
Many elites present were wearing worried looks and wondering if they could beat Xu Que or not.
"Useless trash! You call yourself Han Guosheng? You know 'Sheng' means 'victory,' right?! I think I'd better call you Han D*ck!" Xu Que sneered at Han Guosheng, who was lying on the ground.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Han D*ck? Sucking one's d*ck? What a dirty name!
"You're sailing perilously close to the window!" Han Guosheng shouted. He never thought Xu Que was this powerful and thought the reason why he had been hit by Xu Que was simply due to carelessness.
Bang!
Han Guosheng got up from the ground and prepared to hit Xu Que.
Although it was Xu Que who had hit him first, him attacking Xu Que was also against the rules of the Bright Moon Hotel.
Han Guosheng was so angry that he no longer gave a sh*t about the rules. He knew that if he didn't fight back, he would be a laughing stock forever.
All of a sudden, an old man appeared. He raised up his two hands, and the next minute, both Xu Que and Han Guosheng could no longer move, they could feel that they were being restricted by an invisible power.
"How dare you two! I've made it very clear that anyone who gets into a fight here in the Bright Moon Hotel shall be killed!"
"My goodness! Elder Yun is about to deal with those two!"
"They're doomed!"
"Elder Yun is famous for his ruthlessness and has stepped into the ninth level of the Void Training Stage. He's basically invincible!"
"Please forgive me! Elder Yun! I will never ever break the rules again!" Han Guosheng was so afraid that his face turned as white as a sheet, and his voice trembled.
"I've said that anyone who breaks the rules shall be killed, and there is no room for negotiation!"
All of a sudden, shining genuine energy erupted and formed a sword. The next minute, countless swords all pointed at Xu Que and Han Guosheng.
A great amount of violent energy was stored inside these swords that were emitting heat. The entire void seemed to be on fire, while the people watching were feeling so frightened that they couldn't help but shiver!
Elder Yun didn't spare Han Guosheng, although he knew that his father was the vice castellan of the Tian Luo City.
"F*ck you! You think you can kill me like this? You're being rather naive! Screw you!" Xu Que took out a piece of the Divine Tracking Emblem while shouting at Elder Yun.
Seeing this, everyone present was shocked.
Is he insane?! Does he have any idea who he's talking to?!
Elder Yun sneered, his face getting more and more gloomy.
Right at this moment, the Divine Tracking Emblem in Xu Que's hand was burning…
The next minute, a ray of bright white light appeared. When the light died down, Xu Que had already disappeared.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless shining swords fell directly to the floor, and the floor turned into a pile of sawdust that was soon dispersed by the wind.
Meanwhile Han Guosheng, who was in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage and the captain of the guard of the Tian Luo City, was penetrated by the swords. His flesh melted in the blink of an eye and became a pile of dust.
Everyone was stunned, and no one made a sound.
On the one hand, the people were all frightened by the power of Elder Yun's magic incantation, but on the other hand, they were stunned by Xu Que's ability to run away.
Even Elder Yun himself was a bit surprised and frowned.
Soon, the elites all collected their minds and began to talk with each other.
"My gosh! What on earth happened?!"
"How did that young man manage to run away?"
"Was he using a Earth Shrinking Amulet?"
"Yes, indeed, I saw him take out a sort of emblem, but I'm not sure if it was the Earth Shrinking Amulet. By the way, as far as I'm concerned, no one is able to use a Earth Shrinking Amulet these days, right?"
"That young man must come from a very powerful and influential family. Even Elder Yun failed to catch him, that's impossible!"
"As for Han Guosheng, I pity him!"
"That young man is really shameless. He said he hates to kill people with borrowed knives, but he managed to kill Han Guosheng with a knife borrowed from Elder Yun."
…
At the same time, on the ninth floor, the highest floor of the Earth Section…
Gong Yue was shocked by what she had just seen. Obviously, she had never thought Xu Que could manage to run away from Elder Yun's attack.
Jiang Shan frowned and said coldly, "I believe we have all underestimated him!"
…
At the Heaven Section…
Xiao Taixuan, Qin Ji, and Han Ying were still talking with each other and didn't care about what was going on downstairs.
To them, no matter what happened, there would always be someone taking care of it. There was no need for them to pay attention.
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que was running like crazy. He burned a few more Divine Tracking Emblems and at last, he arrived at a space that was tens of miles away from the Tian Luo City.
He quickly concealed his energy and hid in the shrubs while watching the Tian Luo City closely.
When he saw no one come out of the Tian Luo City, he slowly stood up and took out a mask to put it on his face.
"Bright Moon Hotel, I am coming again!"

556 Just Come Out!
The Bright Moon Hotel!
Han Guosheng's death totally stunned his underlings and Han Guoqiang.
However, they didn't have the guts to doubt this result. All of them were trembling and even didn't dare to have eye contact with Elder Yun.
This was the rule of the Bright Moon Hotel – anyone who fought in this building will be killed.
No one could be exceptional, even the Governor of the Tian Luo City!
This was also the reason that the Bright Moon Hotel was very quiet in so many years. Therefore, it had became an ideal place for the sovereigns, the Holy Sons and Holy Virgins.
Of course, only the tranquility couldn't satisfy them.
There was a library in each floor of the Bright Moon Hotel, where a lot of precious magic arts and ancient books were stored, so that the sovereigns could read them. The higher the floor was, the more precious the stored magic arts and ancient books would be!
So, all of them would consciously avoid making troubles in the Bright Moon Hotel. And they would show due respect to the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect, which was the owner of the Bright Moon Hotel, in the outside world.
However, today Xu Que created some noise in this building, which was epoch-making. Han Guosheng, who was so annoyed, attacked him first. However, the trouble-maker escaped first and Han Guosheng was killed, which surprised everyone.
Elder Yun stood there speechlessly by furrowing his eyebrows. Finally, he looked at Han Guoqiang and the underlings of Han Guosheng and said indifferently, "Anyone without the ID Plate of the Bright Moon Hotel is not allowed to enter. Violators will be killed instantly."
"Ah…" Han Guoqiang yelled out in terror and escaped together with the rest guards.
Seeing that, Elder Yun turned around motionlessly and walked towards a long corridor at the door.
No one could figure out his identity as a formidable powerhouse from his faltering and shaky figure.
The sovereigns in the Bright Moon Hotel were still talking about this issue. Xu Que's magic arts as well as the spell he used to escape were quite controversial among them!
Most of them thought Xu Que were from the North Sea, for cultivators from the North Sea were good at physical strength. And they also had abundant spells for physical magic arts. After all, just now Xu Que revealed his capability in physical strength and brutal force.
Some of them thought Xu Que were from a secluded ancient sect. This kind of sect did exist. However, their apprentices were quite rare. These sects might keep silent for hundreds or even thousands of years before sending their descendants out into the world.
These descendants were very powerful, for they had learned many magic arts and spells and even obtained elixirs which had been lost in the world.
However, no descendants like this had appeared in the last 1000 years. Therefore, many sovereigns thought it was highly possible that Xu Que was a descendant of an ancient sect.
Several sovereigns who came together with Jiang Shan had sat down at a table in the lobby.
Jiang Shan and Gong Yue were in the 9th floor of the Earth Building, which was for sovereigns at Level 9 or Level 10 of the Infant Transformation Stage. These sovereigns were qualified to enter the 6th or the 7th floor of the Earth Building. However, now they had little interest to go upstairs, so they just sat down in the lobby.
"My plan was to check some magic arts in the library of the 7th floor. But my mood has been ruined by that brat totally!" one sovereign at Level 7 of the Infant Transformation Stage said disgustedly and unwillingly. They were about to kill Xu Que, but Xu Que escaped at last.
"Hum! I have remembered Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Later I will ask my people to check this man. Sooner or later he will be punished!" the rest sovereigns also snorted.
Their cultivation levels were not high. However, as sovereigns from the Jiang Family and Gong Family, their arrogance stopped them from ignoring this issue.
…
At the same time, the girl who took Xu Que in just now had returned to the gate of the Bright Moon Hotel. She was also quite shocked by this issue.
At the very beginning, she thought that young sovereign was just a little bit weird, who was different with those aloof sovereigns. Not like those cold and aloof sovereigns, he looked very gentle but he was a little bit rascal and shameless, which created a sense of closeness.
In addition, she was surprised when Xu Que asked her about Jiang Hongyan.
When Jiang Hongyan arrived at the Bright Moon Hotel, this girl was also the one who took her in.
At that time, she was totally impressed by Jiang Hongyan's temperament and character. As a fairy-like woman, Jiang Hongyan was with the temperament of a noble but amiable empress, even before she started to talk.
It was hard to imagine such two contradictory temperaments could co-exist in one person.
The girl had worked in Bright Moon Hotel for so many years. She had met countless prestigious Holy Virgins. No matter how beautiful and elegant they were, Jiang Hongyan could defeat them easily.
As a girl, she also had to admit the perfectness of Jiang Hongyan.
Therefore, when Xu Que said he was a friend of Jiang Hongyan, the girl didn't believe him at all. Later, she didn't have many contacts with Xu Que.
However, she didn't expect hardly had she left when Xu Que made troubles by fighting in the Bright Moon Hotel!
She also didn't expect that Xu Que could escape from the attack of Elder Yun.
"Young Lady, excuse me!"
At this moment, when the girl was making blind conjectures, she heard a gentle voice.
The girl came to herself immediately and found a graceful young man in white was standing in front of her. His tender and handsome face was almost perfect.
Moreover, the temperament of a scholar was imprinted on his countenance. He carried a long sword on his back, which didn't ruin his perfectness at all.
Obviously, this was a scholar swordsman!
"My Lord, please show me your ID Plate," the girl didn't dare to show any neglect and greeted the young man with a smile immediately.
However, she didn't expect that this scholar swordsman was disguised by Xu Que.
He changed a human-skinned mask and put on a white robe, which were exactly same with the dress of Li Bai in the Fire Nation.
He was here again!
He wanted to make troubles again!
Today he planned to fight those people to the end!
"OK!" Xu Que took out of the ID Plate he obtained just now and handed it to the girl in a low deadpan.
This time he decided to be cold, aloof and arrogant!
"My Lord, you look unfamiliar here, how could I address you?" seeing his ID Plate, the girl made way for him immediately and took him into the Bright Moon Hotel. However, she also asked about his name.
"I am the Romantic Swordsman with a Ruthless Sword, my name is Li Xunhuan!" Xu Que replied motionlessly and stepped into the Bright Moon Hotel directly.
This time he asked the System to modify his cultivation level into Level 3 of the Infant Transformation Stage, which couldn't be seen through even by powerhouses at the Void Training Stage.
Therefore, the girl didn't doubt his identity at all and was just a little bit surprised by his nickname.
The Romantic Swordsman with a Ruthless Sword?
But it seems he is not romantic at all!
"Lord Li, please be my guest!"
The girl found this scholar swordsman was quite familiar with the Bright Moon Hotel, so she didn't show the way for him anymore for the fear that it would offend him. Then she returned to the gate slowly.
However, when she had just returned to the gate, she heard a shout in the Bright Moon Hotel.
"Where are those rubbish henchmen of Jiang Shan and Gong Yue? Just come out, I am back again!"

557 Frightening Everyone
"Come and see me! I've come back!"
Hearing this voice, the young girl wearing the palace clothes was stunned. The next minute, she turned around and ran into the hall.
…
As soon as Xu Que walked into the Bright Moon Hotel, he immediately saw Jiang Shan's peers sitting at a table.
He immediately took off his mask and shouted.
Everyone present turned around to see him.
Xu Que was sneering and holding his Dark Heavy Buster Sword high above his head.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
What's going on? He had the balls to come back?! How did he manage to get in again?
Bang!
Xu Que's Dark Heavy Buster Sword emitted a huge amount of True Core Strength that quickly spread out in the hall. An enormous shadow appeared in the air and was about to fall onto Jiang Shan's peers.
"Holy sh*t!"
Jiang Shan's peers quickly dodged.
Bang!
The chairs and table fell into pieces, and there was a huge hole in the ground.
Jiang Shan's peers immediately surrounded Xu Que.
"Remember don't attack him, we should just surround him in case he runs away again."
"Elder Yun will take care of him for us!"
Right at this moment, lightning appeared under Xu Que's feet, his Dark Heavy Buster Sword trembled, and the next minute, he vanished again.
"What? He ran away again?" Jiang Shan's peers were stunned, as were other elites present.
He ran away again? What on earth does he want to do?! Is he a fan of guerrilla warfare?
Meanwhile, Jiang Shan and Gong Yue, who were on the ninth floor of the Earth Section, were disturbed by what was happening downstairs. After they learned Xu Que had come back, they looked downstairs.
When they saw Xu Que disappearing again, the two frowned.
Suddenly, Gong Yue shouted, "Gong Bing! Be careful!"
Hearing this, Jiang Shan's peers, particularly Gong Bing, were stunned.
Why did she warn me to be careful?!
The next minute, the void behind Gong Bing trembled a bit and rippled.
Gong Bing turned around and saw the enormous Dark Heavy Buster Sword getting closer and closer to his face.
He was completely shocked and his pupils quickly shrank.
Boom!
This time, Xu Que combined Killer God's Single Stroke with the "Genuine Flame Devouring Wave," and the power of the Dark Heavy Buster Sword was greatly enhanced.
Although Gong Bing was in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage, he had failed to dodge. He was thrown off the ground by the energy and his nose was broken, causing him to spit out blood.
The rest of the elites from the Jiang family and Gong family were instantly stunned, just like the rest of the elites.
"I have to get down there to help them!" Gong Yue stood up and quickly moved to the first floor, as did Jiang Shan.
Meanwhile, Gong Bing was lying on the ground in great pain. He felt like his eyes, as well as his brain, were going to explode.
His peers hurriedly surrounded him in case he had been killed by Xu Que.
No one thought Xu Que could have been this powerful…
"Young man! You're sailing perilously close to the window!" Elder Yun appeared again. He put his hands behind his back and was wearing a gloomy look.
"It's you! You came at just the right moment. These people hit me. You should kill them all, especially that young man lying on the ground. Look at him, he's spitting blood everywhere. This is a public space, and his blood has stained the place, which is tantamount to committing a national crime, so you can't let him go this time," Xu Que smiled at Elder Yun.
Elder Yun didn't say anything. Instead, he raised his hand. Rays of light came out from his fingertips, and the light soon transformed into countless inscriptions. It seemed that Elder Yun intended to lock down the area.
"You can't possibly lock me here! See you later!" Xu Que laughed, took out a Divine Tracking Emblem, and vanished.
He knew that he couldn't possibly defeat Elder Yun, so he chose to run away.
Although the Divine Tracking Emblem was an incantation of a rather low level and could only teleport a person short distances away, even a man in the Void Training Stage couldn't break this incantation.
The entire Bright Moon Hotel was in dead silence.
His performance had been beyond everyone's expectation.
A man in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage had heavily injured a man in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage in just one shot!
"Elder Yun, I hope you, as the head of the Bright Moon Hotel, can promise us and the Gong family that you will take care of this business," Gong Yue said.
She was feeling extremely angry, especially when she saw Gong Bing, who was lying on the ground and covered in blood.
Elder Yun glanced at Gong Yue and said, "What happens between you and that young man is your own business! I merely punish people who break the rules of the Bright Moon Hotel."
Elder Yun turned around and left.
At the same time, the young girl in palace clothing was so surprised that she stood still foolishly.
That young man is so shameless! He changed his clothes, his face, and even talked to me so coldly! I never thought he was this powerful! He managed to escape from Elder Yun's attack twice! Twice! I'm afraid most of the elites present couldn't do that.
"Increase the number of guards! From now on, any stranger that enters the hotel must be carefully checked!"
All the young girls in royal clothes said yes and ordered more people to guard the entrance of the hotel.
Xu Que, who was now out of the city, summoned his thunder illusion body and managed to get two new masks.
He knew that he couldn't possibly kill a person with a borrowed knife anymore, and it would never be easy for him to get into the hotel again, so he quickly came up with a new plan!

558 How Does He Sneak In Again?
A moment later, outside the Bright Moon Hotel
Several well-dressed girls were standing side by side. A few men who couldn't be seen by passers-by were standing behind the gate. These men had reached the Infant Transformation Stage. According to their clothing and apparel, they were the guards of the Bright Moon Hotel.
This time, the Bright Moon Hotel didn't plan to kill Xu Que instantly. Instead, they dispatched their guards to show that they wouldn't allow Xu Que to enter the building again. Moreover, the guards would tangle with Xu Que first, then Elder Yun would kill Xu Que.
However, the news that Xu Que who had escaped two times and caused trouble was still heard by guests in the Heaven Building!
Qin Ji was chatting with Xiao Taixuan of the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect and Han Ying of the Heaven Secret Pavilion. The three of them were the Holy Sons or Holy Virgins in their sects who had great powers.
Qin Ji had long become the Holy Virgin of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect, where she had no rivals among her peers. It was almost certain that she would become the next Sect Leader of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect!
The Bright Moon Hotel was one of the biggest businesses of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect. Qin Ji's face was darkened by the trouble created by Xu Que.
"Is this the way you solve trouble for our Bright Moon Hotel?" Qin Ji scolded the powerful men who were guarding the building.
The Earth Building was guarded by Elder Yun. The Heaven Building was guarded by a mysterious powerhouse. As the Holy Virgin, Qin Ji had a significant say in the sect, just underneath the current Sect Leader. In spite of their high cultivation level, the two guardians had to apologize for their negligence in a hurry.
"My lord, please don't lose your temper. I have prepared some spells. That little beast will never escape if he dares to appear again!" Elder Yun promised while keeping a low profile. After all, as the guardian of the Earth Building, he could hardly absolve himself from the trouble created by Xu Que in his scope of jurisdiction.
The guardian of the Heaven Building was a powerhouse at Level 9 of the Void Training Stage who was even more powerful than Elder Yun. His strength was absolutely terrifying.
He couldn't sit back and look unconcerned when Qin Ji was angry. Therefore, he also came up and said, "My lord, if that guy comes here again, I'll help Elder Yun to capture him!"
"Try to capture this guy alive, for he has a kind of spell which could help him to disappear on the spot. If you can't capture him alive, just kill him!" Qin Ji replied coldly while nodding her head.
The two elders stepped back and disappeared again.
Sitting beside Qin Ji, Xiao Taixuan and Han Ying were smiling thoughtfully.
Han Ying said with a faint smile, "My sister, I really envy you! Now your position as the Holy Virgin has been stabilized. No one in the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect would dare to show you disrespect!"
"Sister Han Ying, please don't laugh at me! This could only reveal the lack of manpower in our Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect. Insufficient competition is a bad omen for a sect!" Qin Ji said, shaking her head.
Xiao Taixuan also said with a smile, "It is, indeed, not a good omen for the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect. However, it's very good news for you! All the resources in your sect are being invested in you. Maybe you'll be the first among our peers to reach the Form Synthesis Stage."
Qin Ji shook her head again and smiled wryly. "Xiao Taixuan, it may be too early to flatter me yet! Please don't forget that if Jiang Hongyan could cross the Heavenly Tribulation successfully, would anyone dare to say he or she could reach the Form Synthesis Stage before her? If she manages to complete her magic arts, even the Patriarchs won't be able to stop her in future!"
"Hehe, am I flattering you? You're too narcissistic! Although I don't want to admit that you could be the most powerful cultivator among our peers if Jiang Hongyan died! However, what you said was correct, we can't slack off as long as Jiang Hongyan lives. After all, she has the body of the legendary Divine Nine Heaven Dancing Phoenix. The Heavenly Tribulations would be Nirvana for her. She will become stronger with the Heavenly Tribulations!" Xiao Taixuan snorted.
Han Ying sighed, "It's a pity that I'm not strong enough to tell Jiang Hongyan's fortune. My Grandmaster doesn't care about issues in this world, otherwise, he could save us a lot of effort on this issue!"
Without giving attention to Xu Que, their conversations always focused on Jiang Hongyan.
For them, Xu Que, who had created trouble two times in the Bright Moon Hotel, was still of little importance.
Moreover, after Qin Ji's demonstration of her view on this issue, the powerhouses in the Bright Moon Hotel didn't dare to neglect him and would do their best to capture Xu Que.
A young sovereign in Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage was nothing compared to powerhouses in the Void Training Stage, even if his strength could reach Level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage!
…
At the same time, passers-by were still hurrying back and forth outside the Bright Moon Hotel.
Sovereigns still entered the Bright Moon Hotel from the broad street from time to time.
However, this time, the Bright Moon Hotel didn't let them enter easily. Everyone who wanted to enter was inspected and questioned. People who looked unfamiliar would be checked carefully. Meanwhile, two formidable and magnificent Soul Strengths also gushed out from the building to investigate those strange-looking men.
At this time, a handsome young man who was quite gentle and cultured stepped forward.
He took out an ID Plate with a smile and handed it to the girls at the gate.
"My lord, you look quite strange. How should I address you?"
"I am Xue Zhiqian, and my wish is for peace in this world!"
The girls were completely confused.
Immediately, they were on alert and stared at the young man suspiciously.
His words are so weird! He looked a bit like the one who caused trouble before!
Then, two formidable, suffocating pressures gushed out from the Bright Moon Hotel abruptly and landed on the young man.
The young man changed his expression, then turned around and ran away immediately.
"Hum! How dare a little beast like you come back again! This time, you have no way to escape!" an old but strong voice boomed from the building. The next moment, the guardians of the Earth Building and the Heaven Building turned into two gusts of black wind and dashed towards the young man directly.
Panic-stricken, the young man fled swiftly by stepping on the lightning.
Bang!
The young man ran into a strong man by accident.
With a fierce look on his face, the bearded strong man said angrily, "Watch out! Are you blind?"
The young man continued to flee towards the gate of the city while ignoring the strong man.
Then the two elders dashed over, following the young man. The girls at the gate of the Bright Moon Hotel let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally, we got him! Just now I doubted he was the trouble-maker!"
"Me too! This time he won't escape from Elder Yun and Elder Feng!"
The girls were smiling. Only the girl who had taken Xu Que in two times before shook her head slightly and said nothing, but she also thought that Xu Que was doomed this time.
At this moment, the strong man hit by the young man came to the gate of the Bright Moon Hotel and took out an ID Plate, then said grouchily, "What happened at the Bright Moon Hotel today? Why would such a gentle and cultured man be so rude?"
The girls had witnessed the strong man get hit by the young man. Therefore, they said apologetically, "My fellow cultivator, please don't lose your temper. Just now, a rude brat snuck into our hotel, please forgive our negligence."
"Fine, I'm not a man to haggle over every ounce!" The strong man waved his hand and was about to step into the Bright Moon Hotel.
The girls had checked his ID Plate, so they didn't stop him, although the strong man also looked quite strange. However, Xu Que had escaped, so the girls let their guard down.
However, a short while after the strong man had entered the building, they heard another shout in the Bright Moon Hotel.
"Come out quickly! Where are those trashy guys? I'm back again!"
The girls were instantly stunned as if they had been struck by lightning. With shaky bodies, they almost fainted.
How did he sneak in again?

559 Young Lady, You Are Really Something!
Obviously, the strong man was Xu Que!
The man that both Elder Yun and Elder Feng were chasing after was actually Xu Que's thunder illusion body.
When his thunder illusion body was running away, Xu Que bumped into his thunder illusion body on purpose to get his ID.
After Xu Que got inside, he smiled and slowly took off his mask. At the same time, fire appeared above his palm.
Eight Waste Destruction Flame, Bone Freezing Fire, and Molten Green Lotus all changed into a beautiful fire lotus of three colors.
"What's going on?! Why he is here again?!" Xu Que shouted again, and everyone inside the hotel heard.
"I saw him get caught and chased after by Elder Yun and Elder Feng!"
"He must have many peers!"
Many of the elites were shocked by what they were seeing.
Gong Bing, who was badly injured, was sitting on the ground and healing himself, and his peers, including Jiang Shan and Gong Yue, were also present.
Upon seeing Xu Que, they all grew rather gloomy and grumpy.
"You'd better not run away this time! You won't deserve to be called an elite if you run away again!" Jiang Shan said coldly as he looked at Xu Que.
Xu Que knew Jiang Shan was a member of the Jiang Family, which meant he also saw the Water Empress as a threat.
Xu Que mocked him and said, "Who do you think who you are?! You aren't even qualified to speak to me! Look at you! You big nanny!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned by his tone.
Gong Yue stared at Xu Que in anger.
"The energy mark left on you means that you must have killed a member of my family, and now you've hit my brother again! Even if you run away this time, I swear you'll be traced and killed! You are an eternal enemy of the Gong family!" Gong Yue shouted. She said this because she believed that as long as Xu Que was still in the Eastern Continent, he would definitely be found out and killed by the Gong family.
"I care nothing for the so-called Jiang Family, Gong Family, or anyone else! You're all just a bunch of losers! What's more, I swear I'll destroy this damned Bright Moon Hotel today!" Xu Que sneered.
Bang!
A magnificent pressure came down from above…
"It's you again! How dare you behave like this in the Bright Moon Hotel?!" Qin Ji stood on the staircase, her hands behind her and a thin veil covering her face.
Xu Que was a bit surprised when he saw her.
"What the f*ck! It's you again! Tell me, you have a crush on me, right?! The last time I met you, I ran away, and now you've found me! I do appreciate your admiration, but sorry, I don't want to go on a date with you, ever."
Everyone present was stunned by what Xu Que had said.
He must be insane! The holy girl of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect has a crush on you?! Don't be ridiculous!
Everyone was sure that Xu Que was doomed this time, since he had not only made himself an enemy of the Gong and Jiang families, but also the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect.
The hall was dead silent once again.
Suddenly, Xu Que laughed and looked at Qin Ji.
"See? My simple outlook makes everyone silent, so I can perfectly understand why you admire me. I know I'm a handsome young man, and you're attracted by my appearance? You're such a superficial woman! By the way, you think I'll like you because you have a pair of big boobs?"
Hearing this, everyone watching was speechless.
How dare he make such jokes about the holy girl of the The Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect?! Where on earth is he from?
He must have come from an extremely influential and powerful family, otherwise, he wouldn't behave like this towards the Jiang family, the Gong family and the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect.
The next minute, Qin Ji exerted magnificent pressure on Xu Que and shouted, "You're a dead man now!"
She gently waved her hand, and immediately, the entire Bright Moon Hotel shook.
Bang!
The walls around them began to shine with golden light, and countless magic inscriptions appeared on the walls. The inscriptions soon formed a cage with one side open that was about to engulf Xu Que.
"Bright Moon Saṃsāra Lock!" one elite exclaimed.
"Really! He's just a young man in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage, is there really a need to use this incantation?"
"This is the most advanced magic array!"
"To activate this incantation, one needs to use hundreds of Spiritual Stones of top quality. Anyone whose locked inside is trapped in an eternal Saṃsāra!"
"It seems that Qin Ji is furious this time!"
Many elites around couldn't help backing away in case they were captured by the incantation.
Jiang Shan and Gong Yue coldly glanced at Xu Que and hurriedly left.
Although they wanted to kill Xu Que themselves, now that Qin Ji had taken over, there was no need for them to stay there.
"I already said that your incantations couldn't catch me, ask those old farts in the Form Synthesis Stage to come out and see me!" Xu Que laughed hard.
He had already been told by the System that he could easily run away with the help of his Divine Tracking Emblem, which was why he dared to behave so impertinently.
Besides, there was a fire lotus of three colors in his palm that was covered by his sleeve. The fire lotus was jumping around, ready to explode at any minute.
The System had warned him that the Genuine Buddha's Fiery Lotus was a dangerously powerful incantation, so anyone who used it had to be careful, since he could be hurt by that incantation.
But under these circumstances, Xu Que had no choice but to take the risk.
On the one hand, Elder Yun and Elder Feng could have come back at any time, but on the other hand, most of the elites present were tough figures. Xu Que had to use a powerful incantation to protect himself.
Meanwhile, the square cube of a cage was getting closer and closer to Xu Que.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared under Xu Que's feet and Xu Que jumped up.
He shouted, "Explosion is a form of art!"
Hearing this, everyone was confused.
Xu Que quickly rolled down his sleeve and threw the fire lotus at Jiang Shan and his peers. The next minute, the lotus blossomed.
Bam!
A huge amount of powerful energy was exerted. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly ran away as quickly as the lightning had struck.
Qin Ji was also shocked, as she had never thought Xu Que would be able to practice such a dangerously powerful incantation.
The entire Bright Moon Hotel was devoured by the fire, as were Jiang Shan and Gong Yue and their peers.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully acting tough! You have been awarded with 410 Acting Tough Points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing super powerful figure of the Infant Transformation Stage! You have been awarded with two million Experience Points!"
"Ding! Congratulations on the host for successfully killing super powerful figure of the Infant Transformation Stage! You have been awarded with two million Experience Points!"
…
"Holy sh*t!"
Xu Que cursed and had no time to feel happy about the System's notification. He hurriedly backed away and didn't even have the time to activate his Divine Tracking Emblem.
This was the first time he had practiced the incantation of the Genuine Buddha's Fiery Lotus. He was surprised by its power. If it weren't for his quick reaction, he would also have been devoured by the fire lotus.
Right at this moment, Qin Ji jumped down, her entire body shining.
"There's no moon in the air, and there's no core inside the moon! Lock!"
All of a sudden, endless golden inscriptions appeared and flew towards the rest of the elites.
Qin Ji knew that if the rest of the elites, not even the whole Bright Moon Hotel, were also killed, the entire Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect would be dragged into huge trouble. That was why she had practiced a incantation to protect the rest of the elites.
With the golden inscriptions falling down upon the rest of the elites, the fire lotus was blocked out.
Xu Que was surprised to see this.
He had never thought Qin Ji would be able to freely control the entire Bright Moon Hotel as if it was one of her own magic weapons.
He looked at Qin Ji and said, "Young lady! You're really something! I admire you!"

560 第五百六十章
Chapter 560 – Untitled
Puff!
Qin Ji spat a mouthful of fresh blood into the air.
She had exceeded her limit by using so many runes of the Bright Moon Hotel all at once while also protecting so many rulers in the building.
As a powerhouse in the Void Training Stage, she still felt powerless fighting against the three-color Fiery Lotus alone, so she had suffered minor internal injuries instantly.
However, after hearing Xu Que's tell her, "Shake your bosom, suckle the world," Qin Ji burst out in anger immediately. Her internal injuries were aggravated by her rage, which resulted in her spitting blood.
The rest of the people around came to themselves. Watching the seriously-damaged Bright Moon Hotel, many people were terrified.
How destructive it was!
How could a cultivator at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage do that?
However, after remembering Xu Que's words, everyone became speechless immediately.
Shake your bosom, suckle the world?
Buddy, you're a real genius!
After exploding the Bright Moon Hotel, you still dared to bother the host! Your behavior was outrageous!
You know you're asking for it, right? Now you've become a sworn enemy of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect!
"My lord!" At this moment, two anxious voice could be heard from outside the Bright Moon Hotel.
The next moment, two dark shadows flew through the air like two black hurricanes with magnificent killing intent.
"Elder Yun and Elder Feng are back!" someone exclaimed immediately.
Upon seeing the arrival of the two elders, Xu Que took out the Divine Escape Spell immediately.
He could do nothing now. Although Qin Ji had great discursive power in this building, the two elders were too powerful, and Xu Que couldn't afford to challenge them.
All at once, he shouted, "The Bright Moon Hotel, the Jiang family, and the Gong family, listen now! Today, I speak up for Jiang Hongyan. The destruction and killings are only of small interest to our Exploding Heavens Faction! I will settle this issue with you sometime in the future!"
After saying this, he ignited the spell in his hand, and his figure started to become misty then and there.
"Little beast, stop!" Elder Yun and Elder Feng roared as they dashed towards the image of Xu Que.
Xu Que said with a nasty laugh, "Come on, come and get me! Are you angry? Tell me, are you angry?"
Whoosh!
After that, Xu Que disappeared instantly.
"Ah!" Elder Yun and Elder Feng roared angrily.
No matter how fast they had been, they had failed to catch up with Xu Que.
After acting tough, Xu Que had uttered taunting words before escaping, which had been extremely annoying.
Even powerhouses like Elder Yun and Elder Feng were shaking in rage after letting Xu Que escape again. They couldn't stay calm anymore, and their fiery eyes filled with killing intent.
At the same time, the rest of the people were confused.
The harsh words left by Xu Que before his escape were quite stunning.
None of them had expected Xu Que to speak up for Jiang Hongyan.
However, they had never heard of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Where did this faction come from? How could it have such a powerful ruler?
As a cultivator only at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage, he dared to stand against the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect, the Jiang family, and the Gong family publicly. Could it be that this Exploding Heavens Faction is backed by such a powerful guy? Otherwise, why would he be so reckless as to utter harsh words like that?
"The Exploding Heavens Faction… Ah, that reminds me! When I was in the South Continent, I heard of a faction with this name!" a figure said calmly as he came downstairs slowly.
This guy was Xiao Taixuan of the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect. He hadn't witnessed the chaos in the Bright Moon Hotel just before. However, the great noise had also startled him. Therefore, he didn't want to stay in this building anymore.
Han Ying of the Heaven Secret Pavilion also came downstairs following Xiao Taixuan. They were Holy Son and Holy Virgin of their sects, respectively, and enjoyed their elaborate identities, so they couldn't stay in a chaotic place like this.
However, Xiao Taixuan's words had attracted the attention of everyone in the area.
Even Qin Ji, Elder Yun, and Elder Feng focused their gazes on Xiao Taixuan abruptly.
After stabilizing her injury, which wasn't too serious, Qin Ji asked while staring at Xiao Taixuan coldly, "Xiao Taixuan, say it clearly! Does this Exploding Heavens Faction come from the South Continent?" Her heart was filled with killing intent because of her deep hatred for Xu Que.
After all, Xu Que's actions had humiliated her and also ruined the long-lasting reputation of the Bright Moon Hotel. Therefore, she had to seek revenge against Xu Que!
Xiao Taixuan, shaking his head, snorted, "Qin Ji, you should know that I'm not the one who caused trouble in your Bright Moon Hotel! Are you going to vent your anger on me by talking to me like this?"
Hearing that, Qin Ji calmed down slightly by forcefully repressing her fury, then said calmly, "What Brother Xiao said is right, and I am sorry for my rudeness. Please tell me about this Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"Hehe, I also don't know this faction. I only know now that one person is creating trouble in the South Continent in the name of the Exploding Heavens Faction. The Mystery Land Trial is about to commence, but the South Continent is in chaos now; otherwise, I wouldn't have come back to the East Continent so suddenly!" Xiao Taixuan smiled slightly.
"Who is that?" Qin Ji asked in a low voice while squinting her eyes slightly.
Xiao Taixuan walked into the lobby from the stairway and yelled a name. "Duan Jiude!"
"What?"
All at once, everyone in the area, including Qin Ji, Elder Yun, and Elder Feng, was horrified, widening their eyes.
"My gosh! That's why that guy could act so arrogant! He was backed by Duan Jiude!"
"This is terrible! Duan Jiude is too…"
"Buddy, watch your mouth! One might dig his grave if they say the wrong thing!"
"Oh, right! That was close…"
Most rulers didn't dare to mention Duan Jiude's name. Therefore, people became speechless in fear that they would say something wrong.
Qin Ji and her people also stayed silent with gloomy faces.
Xiao Taixuan smiled slightly and stepped towards the gate, then said calmly, "Oh, by the way, Duan Jiude said he was a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction. He has an apprentice whose name is Xu Que. It's said that the two of them once ate a Roc of the North Sea. They even composed a poem for that bird. Now the Roc Tribe has turned against Duan Jiude and keeps pursuing him and his apprentice."
After saying that, Xiao Taixuan walked out of the Bright Moon Hotel and his figure disappeared slowly as he drifted away.
Hearing that, everyone in this area was speechless and dumbfounded, for they couldn't believe what they had just heard.
Is Duan Jiude claiming to be a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction?
Could it be that… the powerful and domineering Duan Jiude is still not the Faction Leader?
Moreover, he has an apprentice! My God! I've never heard that he had an apprentice!
More importantly, did he and his apprentice eat a bird of the North Sea?
This is way too unscrupulous! Didn't Duan Jiude became the sworn brother of the Roc Tribe decades ago? How could he eat a Roc in the blink of an eye?
He's too fickle!
…
While people were still dumbfounded by Xu Que's deeds in the Bright Moon Hotel, Xu Que appeared outside the city.
The teleportation destination of the Divine Escape Spell was always unstable. Each time, he would be teleported to somewhere random. It was lucky that the teleportation distance of each spell was small. After using over a dozen spells casually, he would always be teleported to a place outside the city.
However, when he had just landed on the ground, a great noise came from in front of him.
Many people were yelling and shouting loudly. Xu Que almost thought they were the pursuers from the Bright Moon Hotel. However, when he took a closer look, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips.
"Sh*t! Buttface, who did you provoke this time?"

561 Dragon Soul Elemen
Xu Que had just been in the Eastern Continent for one day, and he had already gotten himself into trouble.
In less than a day, he had gone to the Bright Moon Hotel three times and made himself an enemy of the Jiang family, Gong family, and the The Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect.
As soon as Xu Que landed, he found Buttface running towards him.
Buttface was very happy to see Xu Que and exclaimed, "Hurry up! Help me!"
Xu Que waved his hand and said, "This is your problem! I'm not going to help you out! Goodbye!"
"F*ck! I am your friend, how can you be so cold-hearted? By the way, I have something valuable, and if you help me, you can have some of it!" Buttface shouted.
Upon hearing this, Xu Que got excited and asked, "What kind of thing?"
"A piece of Dragon Soul Element that contains the Genuine Dragon Seal. With its help, there's a chance that you can master the Genuine Dragon Incantation!" Buttface said while taking out a ball of something that was shining with green light.
As soon as Buttface took it out, the Spiritual Qi around quickly gathered together, and Xu Que could even see a tiny dragon swimming around it.
"Holy sh*t! Where did you get that?!" Xu Que was surprised by what he saw.
What?! He's been here less than a day, and he found such a valuable thing?! How lucky!
"I happened to see it lying on the ground and just picked it up. You know what, when I was found carrying it, many people became jealous and began to chase me! How shameless they are! Like I said, if you help me, I'll let you have ten percent of it!" Buttface said.
"Deal!" Xu Que answered.
Only ten percent?! Nonsense, I'll have ninety percent of it!
At this moment, the group of people who were chasing after Buttface shouted, "What a shameless dog! It was you who stole it from our auction, how can you say you simply picked it up?!"
"What?! You stole it?!" Hearing this, Xu Que was speechless.
When the group of people saw Xu Que, they were surprised to find that Xu Que was in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage. They immediately stopped and said, "Young man, I can tell you're an elite! Is that dog your pet? If so, please make it hand over the Dragon Soul Element."
Xu Que was a bit amused by their sudden change in attitude. Since there were also people in the Infant Transformation Stage in the group, there was no need to be so polite to him.
Clearly, elites were very respected by people here in the Eastern Continent.
Xu Que stared at Buttface and said angrily, "Fine, I'll make it hand over the Dragon Soul Element."
"Buttface, how dare you do this in broad daylight! I never thought you would lower yourself to a thief, and you stole such a valuable object! Now, give it back to them and apologize!"
Hearing this, the group of people were relieved and nodded.
Buttface held the Dragon Soul Element tightly and said resolutely, "No way! I stole it, so what?! If they want to get it back, why not let them steal it back?!"
"You're being ridiculous! It seems that I need to give you a good hit again!" Xu Que threatened, about to chant an incantation to tighten the collar on Buttface's neck.
Even so, Buttface was still holding the Dragon Soul Element tightly and trying to find a way to escape.
"Young man, please make your pet give the Dragon Soul Element back to us. The Dragon Soul Element belongs to the Jiang family and is being kept temporarily by us. If we cannot give it back to the Jiang family, they will be furious!"
"Yes! By that time, the Jiang Family would definitely hunt you down!"
Hearing this, Xu Que was furious. "Wait for a minute! You said the Dragon Soul Element belongs to the Jiang family?!"
If the Dragon Soul Element belongs to the Jiang family, I can't possibly give it back to them!
The group of people thought Xu Que had been terrified by the mere mention of the Jiang family.
"Yes, the Dragon Soul Element belongs to a powerful old man in the Jiang family. If you give it back to us and apologize to them, I believe they might just let you go!"
"Is this so-called Jiang family very powerful?!" Buttface asked.
Hearing this, the group of people sneered, "You are indeed an ignorant dog! The Jiang family is one the Four Families of the Eastern Continent. There aren't many people of the Form Synthesis Stage, and the Patriarch of the Jiang family is one of the few. You stealing the Dragon Soul Element is tantamount to asking for death!"
Hearing this, Buttface became terrified and instantly threw the Dragon Soul Element to Xu Que.
"Hurry up! Give it back to them and apologize! I don't have the balls to offend the Jiang family."
What the f*ck! How shameless you are! You want me to make the apology for you?! Xu Que was amazed by Buttface.
Anyway, since the Dragon Soul Element is in my hands, I couldn't possibly give it back to them! I've already offended the Jiang Family, there's nothing more to be afraid of.
"Nicely done! Buttface, thanks to you, I have something valuable. You'll get ten percent of it, I promise!" Xu Que laughed and put the Dragon Soul Element into the parcel of the System, then ran away.
Seeing this, both Buttface and the group of people were shocked.
What's going on?! One minute ago, he asked his pet to give the Dragon Soul Element back to us, and the next minute, he changed his mind?!
"Xu Que, f*ck you! Give it back to them!" Buttface shouted.
"No way! The entire Jiang family is my enemy, I cannot possibly give it back to them!" Xu Que laughed hard while running away.
As soon as he put the Dragon Soul Element into the parcel of the System, the System told him that there was around a sixty percent chance that he could master the low level incantations of the Star Rank, a fifty percent chance of mastering the middle level incantations of the Star Rank, and around a thirty percent chance he could master the high level incantations of the Star Rank.
Anyway, the Dragon Soul Element was definitely a valuable object.
Since Xu Que hadn't upgraded his System yet, he couldn't directly buy the book of incantations of the Star Rank from the System. Currently, there were a few books of that sort in his System that he had received from the Tribulation.
Thus, for him, the Dragon Soul Element was priceless.
"Even so, you shouldn't make yourself an enemy of the Jiang family. You know their leader is in the Form Synthesis Stage! Give it back to them, please!" Buttface begged him.
"No!"
"You should abide by the rules and the law! How can you possibly be a thief?!"
"I always abide by the law! I'm an elite of the Exploding Heavens Faction, never a thief! I simply took a valuable object away from them in the broad daylight."
"Holy sh*t! How shameless you are!"
Buttface was terribly upset!
Hearing this, the group of people were speechless.
This young man must be insane! He knows this object belongs to the Jiang family, and he still doesn't want to give it back to us?

562 An Acquaintance Long Time no See
"Go back and tell the Jiang family that I am Xu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction. I robbed their stuff because I think well of them. If they aren't happy, they can come here and fight me!"
After leaving his domineering message, Xu Que turned around and left, dragging Buttface with him.
After all, he had only targeted the Jiang family, not the people of the auction house. It was unnecessary to kill them. Therefore, he left immediately after his robbery.
"Little brat, you'd better return it to them. This stuff is not simple, and it could bring us great trouble!" As cowardly as ever, Buttface thought it was too risky to keep the stolen object.
"Damn! Weren't you unwilling to compromise on the subject just now?" Xu Que replied disdainfully.
"I didn't know it belonged to a powerhouse in the Form Synthesis Stage! If I knew, why would I steal it?" Buttface explained irrationally.
In fact, Buttface didn't want to follow Xu Que anymore, for Xu Que had just mentioned his name, which could offer his enemy the opportunity to seek revenge against him.
"If you're afraid, just leave!" Xu Que snorted.
"Damn! How could I be afraid? In addition, we've gone through hell and high water so many times. I know that we should share troubles! Oh, just set me free, your dragging is making me uncomfortable!" Buttface said nobly. However, he maintained a posture that would allow him to run away if Xu Que set him free.
"Buttface, don't worry! You can't run away from this issue. This stuff was stolen by you. When the people of the Jiang family come to me, I'll definitely sell you out!" Xu Que consoled him.
Buttface widened his eyes and nearly spat blood. "Damn! You give it to me, and I'll return it to the Jiang family personally!"
"Stop wasting your words! See, those people have long disappeared. It'd be useless to go back now!" he said with a smile, still moving forward.
Buttface turned around and found the people of the auction house who had been too slow to catch up with them had disappeared, as expected.
"How could that be useless? I still remember the location of their auction house. There's still time for me to return the stuff. As the saying goes, it's always better to have a friend than to have an enemy, let alone an enemy in the Form Synthesis Stage!" Buttface did his best to persuade Xu Que. It seemed cultivators in the Form Synthesis Stage were quite scary to him.
Xu Que was also confused that although Buttface was cowardly, he always talked big, as if he was unyielding. Why was he so afraid of cultivators in the Form Synthesis Stage?
"Buttface, let me tell you the truth! The Jiang family is hunting the Water Empress. Moreover, almost the entire East Continent is targeting the Water Empress! This time, I will punish several families. I'll kill anyone who targets the Water Empress!" Xu Que said with a faint smile. However, his serious eyes revealed that he wasn't joking.
Buttface was stunned, then said in surprise, "Little brat, this isn't who you are! You're always selfish, why are you behaving nobly this time?"
"Sh*t!" Xu Que hit Buttface's forehead with his hand directly.
The man and the dog kept quarreling on their way until they stopped at a desolated mountain.
After confirming no one was around, Xu Que landed on the ground and planned to check the magic arts hidden in the object he had taken.
Whoosh!
However, hardly had Xu Que released Buttface on the ground when Buttface escaped without any hesitation.
"Little brat, it's not that I'm disloyal to you! You're making yourself an enemy of the entire East Continent, which is a serious issue. Therefore, I'll look for people to help you!" Buttface explained as he ran crazily.
Xu Que decided to ignore Buttface. Buttface wasn't very helpful beside him anyway. It was just as well to let him go so that Xu Que could focus on searching for the Water Empress.
Xu Que opened the System interface. After several months of acting tough, he had accumulated over 80,000 Acting Tough Points!
It was a scary number. The 80,000 Acting Tough Points gave Xu Que the confidence to be bold and fearless in the East Continent.
However, the precondition was that he had to upgrade the System first.
After all, now he only had two Basic Star Rank magic arts and one Intermediate Star Rank magic art, which were the Genuine " Flame Devouring Wave, the Genuine " Six Corporeal Forms and the Genuine " Buddha's Fiery Lotus, respectively.
According to the fights in the Bright Moon Hotel, these three magic arts could make him invincible among cultivators in the Infant Transformation Stage. He could even fight with powerhouses at the top level of the Infant Transformation Stage with the Genuine " Buddha's Fiery Lotus. However, he was still quite vulnerable in front of cultivators in the Void Training Stage.
After all, he was just at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage. No matter how powerful the Genuine " Buddha's Fiery Lotus was, its destructive power was restricted by his cultivation level, which was too weak to defeat cultivators at the Void Training Stage.
Therefore, he had to obtain Advanced Star Rank magic arts so that he could challenge the powerhouses in the Void Training Stage.
Xu Que had obtained one Advanced Star Rank magic art, the Genuine " Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets. However, the prerequisite to learning this magic art was to learn the ordinary Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets.
The ordinary Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets could be obtained by luck. Two of the nine secrets had been lost, and therefore, the success rate of obtaining the ordinary Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets was always one in seven, which was quite low.
However, now that Xu Que had accumulated abundant Acting Tough Points, he didn't worry that he couldn't obtain the ordinary Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets through luck.
However, the Dragon Soul Element brought back by Buttface had aroused Xu Que's interest again.
With it, the possibility for him to acquire a Basic Star Rank magic art was sixty percent, the possibility for an Intermediate Star Rank magic art was fifty percent, and the possibility for an Advanced Star Rank magic art was thirty percent!
Xu Que was definitely attracted by the Advanced Star Rank magic art. Although the possibility was only thirty percent, he was ready to try his luck and enjoy the excitement!
"System, is there any method that can enhance the possibility of obtaining an Advanced Star Rank magic art?" Xu Que cautiously asked in advance.
Ding! "The host should upgrade the System to Version 5.0. The Lucky Aura will be activated, which could enhance the bonus possibility!" the System replied coldly.
Version 5.0?
Holy sh*t!
What an unscrupulous merchant you are!
Xu Que was annoyed immediately, for that was outrageous!
The version of the System he had was just 3.0. If he planned on purchasing Star Rank magic arts, he would have to spend 20,000 Acting Tough Points to upgrade the System to Version 4.0.
If he wanted to activate the Lucky Aura, he had to upgrade the System again, which would cost him at least 40,000 Acting Tough Points!
In other words, Xu Que had to spend 60,000 Acting Tough Points altogether if he wanted to enhance the possibility of obtaining Advanced Star Rank magic arts.
Only a fool would do that!
"No, never! I'd rather draw the Nine Secrets!" Xu Que rejected immediately. Then he put away the Dragon Soul Element and entered the Heaven Rank magic art area of the System Store.
The Nine Secrets (Remnant Paper)
Because the Secret of Arrive and the Secret of Count have been lost, the remaining seven secrets can be obtained through random selection. One secret may be obtained repeatedly in repetitive purchases!
Price: 200 Acting Tough Points!
"I have to spend 200 Acting Tough Points every time, and the success rate is one in seven. I don't think I could miss it!"
Xu Que smiled and started to purchase the Nine Secrets.
Once the Secret of All was obtained, he could master an Advanced Star Rank magic art, which could multiply his strength in combat tenfold at the percentage of one hundred percent.
"Howl, little brat, help me! A she devil is chasing me!" However, Buttface's hysterical voice sounded suddenly from nearby at this moment.
Xu Que was stunned, then he closed the System interface and looked around, following the voice.
He saw Buttface, who was being dragged by someone, dashing towards him.
The one who was dragging Buttface was a lady with a perfect figure. Moreover, the lady was an acquaintance of Xu Que's whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

563 Little Que Que
The young woman was extremely beautiful!
Her skin was as clean as a piece of flawless jade, her two long legs were as white as the snow, and her entire body was rather curvy!
At the same time, she was smiling in a very seductive way. Any man who saw her would throw himself at her!
Even Xu Que was attracted by her, but quickly, he calmed down.
This young woman was the Ice Queen of the Water Nation…
"Ha! We meet again!" Liu Jingning caught Buttface by his neck and slowed down.
Seeing this, Xu Que's expression became rather gloomy, and he didn't say anything at all.
Liu Jingning frowned and suddenly burst into laughter. "Xu Que, I'm not your enemy, there's no need to be so alert!"
"Ow! Xu Que, stop watching her and help me!" Buttface shouted.
Still, Xu Que was wearing a rather serious face.
Seeing him, Liu Jingning was a bit surprised. She had never thought Xu Que would behave like this towards her!"
She shook her head and said, "You're still too young and too naive! I have no bad intentions, so there's really no need to be like this."
Hearing this, Buttface was amazed.
"Nonsense! You're the one who's being naive! He's looking at your private parts! If you let me go, I can promise you that I will make him suffer!"
F*ck! Buttface, why do you always have to speak the truth! Give me a few more minutes and I would have known the color of the panties she's wearing!
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned. She looked at Xu Que and found him staring at her private parts!
Liu Jingning wasn't mad by this, instead, she gently waved her hand, and the next minute, the hemline of her dress covered her long white legs.
She then looked at Xu Que and smiled.
"I never thought you were such a little dirty young man!"
Hearing this, Xu Que sneered, "You're such a trickster! Thankfully, I'm a man with a strong mind, otherwise, I would have already been seduced by you!"
Liu Jingning was speechless and a bit cross.
She had met many people and gone to many places, but she had never seen someone who was as shameless as Xu Que.
Damn!
"Xu Que, help me! I cannot breath now!" Buttface stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes, pretending he was about to die.
Xu Que was amused and laughed. "You said you would bring me some helpers, and now you're asking me to help you out?"
"I never knew I would bump into her! You can't possibly laugh at me!" Buttface shouted angrily.
"Don't be ridiculous! I guess you must have been caught by her, and she must have asked you my whereabouts, and you immediately told her for your own sake! Am I right?!" Xu Que sneered.
Hearing this, Buttface was so surprised that his eyes were wide open. He never thought Xu Que knew him so well.
Liu Jingning landed onto the ground. She wasn't feeling tired. Rather, she felt a bit uncomfortable with Xu Que staring at her private parts while she was floating in the air.
Although she had made the hemline of her dress stick closely to her legs, Xu Que was still staring at her private parts.
Liu Jingning loosened her hand and smiled at Xu Que.
"Little thing, aren't you curious why I came to find you?"
"Don't call me little thing! I have a huge thing in my pants! Let me guess, you came to see me because you were attracted by my handsome face, and you aren't the first one! Well, I think we should call it a day, goodbye!" Xu Que said and turned around, about to leave.
Yes, Liu Jingning was a beautiful woman, but Xu Que's mind was currently occupied by the Water Empress, so he didn't want to waste his time on her.
Liu Jingning laughed gently and said, "Jiang Hongyan has left a message for you, and she asked me to deliver it to you. Are you sure you really want to leave without hearing it?"
"What?!" Xu Que turned around quickly. "She asked you to deliver a message to me?! You must be lying!"
"The Eastern Continent is such a huge continent. If I was lying, how would I know you promised Jiang Hongyan you would meet her in the Bright Moon Hotel in the Tian Luo City?"
Suddenly, Liu Jingning laughed, "But you do surprise me. You're much more powerful than when I saw you just a few months ago, you even turned the Bright Moon Hotel upside down!"
"Ditto! In just a few months, you're already in the Void Training Stage!" Xu Que said, surprised.
After all, even for Liu Jingning, stepping into the Void Training Stage in just a few months was unbelievable.
"Haha! I'm in the Void Training Stage, but when I went to the Water Nation, I deliberately asked someone to conceal part of my power. If I concealed most of my power in the very first place, I would have probably been caught by a little thing like you back in the Water Empress' bedroom in the Water Nation," Liu Jingning smiled.
"I've told you, don't call me little thing! You'll regret it if you call me that one more time," Liu Jingning smiled.
"I'm the same age as Jiang Hongyan. If she can call you that, why can't I?"
"I said you couldn't! Period!"
Apart from the Water Empress, no one else can call me little thing!
Hearing this, Liu Jingning covered her mouth with her hand and couldn't help but laugh.
She looked at Xu Que and smiled. "How about I call you Little Que Que?"
Xu Que was terribly disgusted. This woman is really something! She must very experienced with flirting, especially with young men!
"So, you don't mind?! Great! From now on, I'll call you 'little Que Que.'"
"By the way, Jiang Hongyan is in a very critical situation now, so she asked me to tell you that you don't need to wait for her at the Bright Moon Hotel. As soon as the Mystery Land Trial in the South Continent starts, she will show herself."
"I see!"
This is also what I've been hearing. Yes, Liu Jingning is right, this is a very critical moment for the Water Empress. Although she's in the ninth level of the Infant Transformation Stage, with so many powerful men from all those influential Families and Factions searching for her, she couldn't possibly beat them!
"She also said you should keep a low profile here and not get yourself into any trouble. But as far as I've seen, you've already gotten yourself into enough trouble!" Liu Jingning smiled.

564 A Destructive Woman
Xu Que believed most of Liu Jingning's words, for what she said was almost identical to the Water Empress' s instructions.
However, Xu Que didn't want to waste his time there, no matter whether the things Liu Jingning told him were real or fake.
Although the Water Empress said she couldn't come to him, it didn't mean he couldn't find her. He knew the Water Empress was in great danger now. Almost everyone in the East Continent was hunting her.
Moreover, she was about to cross the Heavenly Tribulation. If someone attacked her while she was crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Xu Que grew quite anxious. He folded his hands towards Liu Jingning and said, "I have received the message. I really appreciate your help, see you next time!"
After that, he turned around and was about to leave with Buttface to check the whereabouts of the Water Empress.
The reason that he hadn't asked Liu Jingning was that he was quite sure this woman was cautious with her speech, and he wouldn't get useful information from her, which had been proven in the Water Nation. Therefore, this time he left decidedly.
However, Xu Que's actions greatly disappointed Liu Jingning.
She was one of the most beautiful women in the East Continent. Her beauty was no worse than that of the Water Empress. Only the temperament and styles of the two were different.
Xu Que was concerned about the Water Empress, but had chosen to keep his distance from Liu Jingning. He didn't even want to speak with her patiently and was always anxious to get away from her, which made her quite unhappy.
"Little Queque, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet," Liu Jingning said with a smile on her face and a cunning glint in her eyes.
Xu Que had to stop again and furrowing his eyebrows, said, "What else did Hongyan say?"
"She entrusted another two tasks to me! First, she asked me to take care of you and prevent you from causing trouble!" Liu Jingning said while holding one of her jade-like fingers up.
"What about the second task?" Xu Que asked.
"Do you want to know?"
"Yes, just say it!"
"I don't want to tell you!"
This is absolutely… making me angry!
Xu Que twitched the corner of his lips instantly. If he was strong enough, he would have punished Liu Jingning severely by holding her on the ground and spanking her!
"If you want to know, follow me to the South Continent. You should be nice and obey my orders along the way. You can't make trouble. You should buy me delicious foods, and you should praise my beauty…" Liu Jingning listed her conditions while counting her fingers.
"Bye!" Xu Que turned around and left without hesitating!
Are you kidding me? You should show me due respect!
Do you still want me to obey your orders, stop making trouble, buy you delicious foods, and even praise your beauty?
What more do you want?
"Little brat, you're awesome! I agree with you this time!" Buttface expressed his support by following Xu Que.
"We should keep a low profile!" Xu Que patted Buttface's head. Then he dragged his collar and jumped into the sky with lightning under his feet.
Liu Jingning was dumbfounded, for all her plans had been foiled. Seeing Xu Que and Buttface leave, she was very angry and couldn't help stomping her feet.
"Hum! What a detestable guy you are! How dare you treat me like this? Later, I'll tell Jiang Hongyan that you looked at my underwear! It's impossible for you to just leave like this!" she murmured to herself bitterly, then she also jumped into the sky and started to chase after Xu Que.
…
When Xu Que saw Liu Jingning behind him, he turned around and shouted at her, "Hey, we're acquaintances, but could you stop following me?"
Liu Jingning's face was gloomy. Apparently, she was sulking. She didn't reply and kept following Xu Que.
With Xu Que's support, Buttface started to utter harsh words arrogantly. "She devil, did you hear that? Don't follow us, or I'll smash you with my palm!"
His words were also ignored by Liu Jingning, who continued to follow them quietly.
"Little brat, she can't follow us like this! Just use your spell to get away from this she devil!" Buttface suggested.
"Good idea!" Xu Que nodded immediately. What he wanted to do now was find a quiet place and obtain the Secret of All of the Nice Secrets. Then he could learn the Star Rank Genuine " Secret of All of the Nine Secrets, so that he could challenge the powerhouses in the Void Training Stage!
Liu Jingning, who realized that Xu Que was about to run away with the escape spell, said immediately, "Little brat, you will regret it if you run away now! The second task entrusted by Jiang Hongyan is related to the Mystery Land Trail in the South Continent. She'll need your help then. She'll meet you at a hidden entrance. Don't you want to know where?"
Xu Que stopped his movements instantly and while furrowing his eyebrows, said, "Then tell me!"
"No, I won't tell you!" Liu Jingning said triumphantly as if she had found Xu Que's weakness.
"Holy sh*t! You're as stubborn as a dog!" Xu Que went crazy with anger.
"What?" Hearing the word "dog," Buttface confusedly thought that he was involved in this issue.
Two people and a dog kept flying forward in the sky.
After pondering it, Xu Que turned around and shouted, "Do you really want to follow me? Okay, no problem! However, you should be nice and obey my orders on the way. And you should praise my handsomeness. In this way, I might treat you with noodles I cooked!"
Liu Jingning immediately became embarrassed.
It wasn't because she had figured out the metaphor of "cooking noodles", but that Xu Que had restated almost all of her conditions!
"You arrogant little brat, even though you're still young, you're quite overbearing!" Liu Jingning sneered.
"If you don't like it, just leave us!" Xu Que replied domineeringly.
Then, he looked at Buttface and said triumphantly, "Buttface, you see, this is a so-called charming personality! Such a gorgeous girl always wants to follow me shamelessly. Alas, I am tired of being handsome!"
Shaking his head, Buttface said disdainfully, "Don't be silly. The she devil is definitely up to something!"
"You're telling me! Even a stupid dog like you could figure it out. How could I not figure it out?" Xu Que replied disdainfully.
He couldn't drive Liu Jingning away, as she insisted on following them. Xu Que had long suspected that.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a sharp, air-rending sound came from behind them.
Liu Jingning increased her speed and caught up with Xu Que instantly. After standing beside Xu Que, she said amorously with a smile, "Little Que Que!"
"My gosh, sister, please don't do that!" Xu Que almost fell down. This woman was really good at flirting with men!
Almost no man could resist her tempting eyes and tone.
Xu Que remembered a famous movie, A Chinese Odyssey, from his past life. In this movie, Zixia Fairy had winked and smiled at Joker, which had been impressive, and it was almost as tempting as Liu Jingning's posture.
"Little Que Que, you said I could follow you if I was nice, obeyed your orders, and praised your handsomeness on the way, right? That's no problem for me!" After saying this, Liu Jingning started to snigger flirtatiously, which was tempting.
Xu Que got goosebumps immediately. Even he declared himself to be a womanizer, so he almost yielded to the temptation.
The main reason was that Liu Jingning was too beautiful and elegant. The words uttered by an ordinary woman wouldn't have been as destructive!
"Little Que Que, you are so handsome!
"Little Que Que, you are really awesome!
"Little Que Que, I really adore you!
"Little Que Que, could you slow down a bit? I can't keep up with you!
"Little Que Que, please be gentle to me, don't be so brutal…"
"Oh, my God! I can't take it anymore. You're just my sister, okay? Please stop. You win this time! I will follow you to the South Continent. Please just close your mouth and stop talking!"

565 What a Lewd Woman
For the very first time since Xu Que had come to the Cultivation World, he was terrified.
He was always the one flirting with others, not the other way around. He almost went insane with Liu Jingning flirting with him.
While Liu Jingning was talking in a very girlish and seductive way, Xu Que got goosebumps all over his body.
If it weren't for Xu Que's strong mind, he would have already ejaculated, like any other normal man would under this situation.
Xu Que took out a black cloak and covered his genitals, since he was hard now!
This time, he had no choice but to give in to Liu Jingning, if he didn't do so, he would definitely go mad, since he had been trying incredibly hard to suppress his sexual urges.
"Little Que Que, you don't like my voice?
"Why did you cover yourself with a black cloak, are you feeling cold?
"I can give you a hug if you are cold. The last thing I would want is you getting cold."
Liu Jingning's eyes were full of love…
"My god! If you say one more word, I will f*ck you and I won't stop until you beg me to stop!" Xu Que shouted.
"You're really bad, don't say such things," Liu Jingning laughed.
This was what Liu Jingning had wanted, to see Xu Que lose control of himself.
Xu Que grew angry and could no longer suppress his anger.
"Buttface, let's move down!" Xu Que said and kicked Buttface to the ground.
Then, he quickly moved to Liu Jingning and put his both hands around her slim waist.
"I've done more than you could know, but I've never f*cked anyone in the air!"
Liu Jingning was stunned by his speed.
Slap!
Xu Que harshly slapped on her butt.
"You…" Liu Jingning was a bit cross.
"You flirted with me first!" Xu Que raised his hand and was about to hit on her backside again, but this time, he failed to do so.
After all, Liu Jingning was already in Level 8 of the Void Training Stage.
Suddenly, her whole body began to shine and gave off a fragrant smell. The next minute, her body began to slowly fade away and transformed into many petals before vanishing at last.
The next minute, Liu Jingning appeared behind Xu Que and giggled, "You are really a bad little man, you hurt me."
Xu Que laughed a bit and suddenly lightning appeared beneath his feet. He intended to summon his thunder illusion body so he could trap Liu Jingning.
Liu Jingning instantly backed up and smiled. "Enough!"
"It's too late!" Xu Que sneered and vanished.
Then he appeared behind Liu Jingning and practiced the incantation of Killer God's Single Stroke.
Bang!
Xu Que made a ball of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, the ball of lightning broke and formed a chain of lightning that quickly swam towards Liu Jingning like a snake.
Liu Jingning was shocked and began to practice an incantation to run away.
Unfortunately, she was trapped by the lightning, and the True Core Strength inside her failed to respond, which made her fail to perform any incantation.
"Is this the Heavenly Tribulation?!"
Liu Jingning was terrified, never having entertained the thought Xu Que could manage to make the Heavenly Tribulation on his own.
Anyone who knew about this would certainly be frightened to death.
Bang!
Xu Que slapped on her butt again.
"Stop! You…" Liu Jingning was furious, since it was the first time she had been treated like this. When she had gone to the Water Nation and disguised herself as the Empress of the Water Nation, she had never flirted with any other men. At that time, the late Emperor of the Water Nation had tried to make out with her, but she had tried everything she could to keep her distance from him to keep her virtue intact.
Now, she had been spanked twice by a young man who was only in the Infant Transformation Stage, which made her furious.
Bang!
Xu Que slapped her butt again and left his hand on her butt.
"Tell me, do you feel sorry for what you did earlier?"
"How dare you treat me like this! Let me go!"
Bang!
"Promise me you'll never, ever flirt with me again!"
"Xu Que, let me go! I don't want to hurt you! Just let me go!"
Bang!
"Promise you won't be this naughty again!"
"You…"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
Upon seeing this, Buttface, who was on the ground, was stunned.
Earlier, when he had been kicked down onto the ground, he was filled with anger, but after he saw Xu Que slapping Liu Jingning's butt, he was completely stunned.
"Xu Que, what you did was really impressive!" Buttface exclaimed.
A young man in the Infant Transformation Stage was spanking a powerful woman who was in Level 8 of the Void Training Stage, a scene that would freak anyone out!
Still, Xu Que knew that Liu Jingning could easily escape the restrictions of the lightning. It could only trap Liu Jingning for a short while. If Liu Jingning practiced a powerful incantation, he would be in danger.
However, Xu Que had an ace card, the Divine Tracking Emblem. He had made up his mind that as long as Liu Jingning practiced an incantation, he would immediately run away with the help of the Divine Tracking Emblem. That was why he had been bold enough to do this.
Liu Jingning didn't practice an incantation. Instead, she even stopped fighting back and fell into Xu Que, hugging him.
Seeing this, Xu Que disabled his incantation and said, "Promise me you'll never flirt with me again!"
"I promise!" Liu Jingning was blushing, feeling both angry and mortified.
"Next time you dare to flirt with me, I'll really f*ck you! I have plenty of ways to make you suffer!" Xu Que sneered and let her go.
Liu Jingning quickly backed away, still blushing and panting. She stared at Xu Que and said nothing at all.
At last, Xu Que was sure that Liu Jingning had come to see him with no bad intentions at all, since she could have easily hurt him when she was so close to him, but she hadn't done so.
However, this didn't mean that Liu Jingning wasn't planning anything, and Xu Que was sure that Liu Jingning must have had something in mind.
"Great! It's my turn now!" He turned around and looked at Liu Jingning, who was still angry.
He smiled at her and began to act cute.
"Young lady! You are so beautiful!
"Young lady! I admire you!
"Young lady, please don't be angry with me! You'll grow wrinkles if you're angry.
"Young lady! I'm frightened by your angry face. You can suck my d*ck if you want!"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned. Her mind went blank and goosebumps erupted all over her.

566 Bad Luck!
"Little sister, please give me a hug!" Xu Que pouted as if he was a baby, then spread his arms as he flew towards Liu Jingning.
Whoosh!
Immediately, Liu Jingning felt her blood freeze and almost wanted to hit someone, but she still instantly flew hundreds of feet away. Her eyes were full of shock.
"You... What are you going to do? Stay away from me!" She was quite vigilant this time so she could prevent Xu Que from touching her in other ways!
Seeing this, Buttface, who was on the ground, was dumbfounded again!
"Little brat, are you crazy? Damn, that's disgusting!" Buttface couldn't take it anymore and pretended to vomit.
After all, not everyone's flirting was destructive!
Liu Jingning was a charming, natural beauty. Therefore, all her coquettish actions were beautiful and destructive to him.
However, although Xu Que was gentle and polite, his flirting was abominable, making him look like the cheapest man in history. Even the cowardly Buttface was planning on beating him.
Xu Que stopped when he thought he got revenge against Liu Jingning, then looked at her with a smile and said, "Okay, that's enough. Let's get down to business! Which way should we go now?"
Looking at Xu Que confusedly and vigilantly, Liu Jingning kept her distance from him and while pointing at a far place, said, "We should head south!"
"That way leads to the South Continent, but I don't want to go there now, so I'm not going your way. Just stop following us!" Xu Que said, shaking his head.
"Where are you going? If you don't go to the South Continent, I won't go, either!" Liu Jingning replied directly.
She had figured out Xu Que's plan to find Jiang Hongyan, but she didn't want to point it out.
Xu Que smiled, "If you follow me, you'll definitely get into trouble!"
"I know you'll get into trouble, and that's why I have to follow you! Let me tell you the truth, Jiang Hongyan trusted me to protect you. Before, I only promised to deliver the message for her, and I didn't plan to protect you all the way. However, I've just decided to do that, and I'll keep following you, even if you don't like it," Liu Jingning said with a cunning smile!
At this moment, her stubbornness and charm were revealed at the same time, which made her extremely beautiful. No one could deny that Liu Jingning was a charming woman, characterized by her high IQ and EQ!
The more Xu Que refused to let her follow him, the more she insisted on following them. Her stubbornness was quite like that of Xu Que.
However, Xu Que wasn't willing to cooperate with her, because it was too dangerous and not difficult to figure out her true intentions. If Xu Que wasn't careful enough, he would easily fall into her trap.
For dealing with these kind of people, Xu Que had only one method, which was to ignore her and stay aloof!
"Buttface, let's go!" Xu Que ignored Liu Jingning and left with Buttface.
On the way, Liu Jingning said nothing and just followed them closely. She was staring at Xu Que's back thoughtfully with a faint smile on her face.
Buttface kept looking at Xu Que with his shiny eyes to express his endless reverence, because Xu Que, who had just spanked Liu Jingning's butt, was so intimidating.
Buttface claimed he also wanted to learn that so that he could use it to deal with female dragons in future!
Xu Que was delighted, but he refused Buttface seriously, shaking his head, then said earnestly, "We should take care of and give tender love to ladies. We should never beat women! What a lousy man you are! Oh no, you're a lousy dog!
Buttface immediately became annoyed. You said we should take care of and give tender love to ladies, right? Then what did you do just now?
Liu Jingning, who was following them, also heard Xu Que's words. Her smile froze abruptly, then she snorted.
She said nothing, but the charming smile returned to her face after a short while.
…
The two people and the dog kept moving forward for over two hours. Finally, an ancient city in the distance came into their sights!
A huge platform was located on the outskirts of the ancient city, on which a group of cultivators gathered, exclaiming from time to time.
"Eh, what are they doing?" Buttface asked in surprise.
Xu Que was also slightly confused, because those people looked a bit like street gamblers from Earth!
"Little Que Que, do you want to go and check it out? Perhaps you can cause some trouble again, so I can protect you!" said Liu Jingning, who was behind them. She was smiling, her eyes full of cunning.
Xu Que immediately became vigilant.
She actively asked me to check it out! It must be a conspiracy!
But! I know clearly who I am as a Tough-Acting King! Nothing can terrify a Tough-Acting King!
Do you think a Tough-Acting King could be terrified by some words?
"Buttface, you go see what's going on!" Xu Que asked Buttface to scout ahead immediately!
Buttface felt his blood freeze instantly, so he shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm not a dragon who likes to socialize too much, let's just keep going!"
"Well, I'm also not a nosy man, so let's just keep going!" Xu Que said, nodding.
"Good, then it's decided!" Buttface also nodded his head. He struck a chord with Xu Que to keep out of the issue.
Liu Jingning's heart was dancing with delight. A smile grew on her face.
She had said that deliberately to make Xu Que unsure so he would stay away from the trouble, but she hadn't expected Xu Que to be so shameless by working out a justified excuse for not cooperating with Buttface.
Still, she was pleased with the results. At least Xu Que wouldn't get involved in unnecessary trouble!
At the same time, they were flying over the crowd on the platform. Below them, a large group of people were busy cutting at a giant stone.
Hardly had a crack appeared in the stone when the crowd began to shout.
"Wow, look at the color, maybe there is a treasure in the stone!"
"It's green, crystal clear, and full of Spiritual Qi. It's certainly something precious!"
"See, runes are flowing in it. Along with the time-honored stone, there must be an ancient treasure inside!"
"No wonder they're disciples of the Heaven Secret Pavilion. Their luck and vision are so good! They have every right to participate in tonight's Stone-Cutting Convention while representing the Heaven Secret Pavilion!"
"Congratulations!"
…
In the sky, after hearing those exclamations and watching the scene below, Xu Que was immediately startled.
Damn! Are these people betting on stones?
He was familiar with it, because on Earth, there had been such gambling activity. First, the gambler would spend money to buy stones that were favored, then the stones would be cut. If high quality jade was found inside the stones, the gambler would make big money. However, if low quality material or nothing was found inside the stone, the gambler would lose all the money spent on the stones.
But according to the reactions of the people down there, something precious must had been found.
"Little brat, it seems like they found something good! Should we rob them?" Buttface asked submissively. It seemed like he was quite interested in the item.
"I'm not interested!" Xu Que shook his head.
He didn't want to make trouble temporarily. His plan was to enter the ancient city first and find a place to settle down, then purchase the Secret of All. If he was lucky enough, he could also open the Dragon Soul Element.
Liu Jingning kept staring at Xu Que's back from behind. After hearing his reply of "I'm not interested," she let out a sigh of relief.
Among the cultivators below them, there were not only people of the Heaven Secret Pavilion, but also disciples of many big families and sects. If Xu Que really went down to cause trouble, he would soon become the public enemy of the East Continent, like Jiang Hongyan.
Whoosh!
At just this moment, in the crowd below, a man cut the surface layer of the stone directly with a jade knife.
His actions attracted everyone's attention. Xu Que and Buttface also couldn't help taking a closer look.
Before everyone could see what was in the stone, as the surface layer of the stone was peeled off, a green light flashed before the onlookers' eyes and shot into the sky abruptly.
Patter!
Thanks to his sharp eyes and deft hands, Xu Que grabbed the green light which was flying towards him with his palm.
If he didn't do that, he would be hit by that green light.
Swish!
All of a sudden, the crowd below went silent. Everyone looked up and fixed their eyes on Xu Que and the green light in his hand!
"B*stard, how dare you steal my things? Return it to me quickly!" the man who had cut the stone with a jade knife said angrily as he coldly stared at Xu Que.
Almost at the exact same time, several elders in the Infant Transformation Stage jumped into the sky from the platform, then shouted at Xu Que with a gloomy face, "How dare you steal a treasure from the stone quarry of the Jiang family? Get down here!"
Xu Que became speechless at this moment. Buttface was also completely shocked.
Liu Jingning was completely dumbfounded!
As she looked at Xu Que, the unspoken words in her eyes were you poor kid!
After all, she had never expected Xu Que, who was unlucky, to be mistaken for a robber when they passed a stone quarry, even after Xu Que refused to make trouble.
What was even more unfortunate was that this stone quarry belonged to the Jiang family!

567 Shut Up!
Seeing Xu Que accidently get himself into trouble again, Liu Jingning frowned and looked at the stone quarry.
There were many cultivators coming from influential Families and Factions, most of them in the Original Infant Stage, while the six old men who were guarding the stone quarry were all in the Infant Transformation Stage, and most of them were from the Jiang family.
Meanwhile, these people were all staring at Xu Que and criticizing him.
Xu Que was wearing a rather indifferent look, a look that made Liu Jingning worried. The next minute, Liu Jingning quickly moved in front of Xu Que, trying to prevent Xu Que from getting himself into trouble again.
"Everyone, this is just a misunderstanding!" Liu Jingning's voice echoed in the air.
People in the stone quarry immediately felt her powerful energy and realized Liu Jingning was in the Void Training Stage.
"The Void Training Stage?"
Everyone was shocked and quickly backed off.
A man who recognized Liu Jingning exclaimed, "My goodness! She's the Saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction!"
"Why is she here?"
The old men of the Jiang Family frowned.
"I think she came with that young man!"
"She's backing that young man up?"
…
In fact, the Utmost Happiness Faction's reputation wasn't as good here in the Eastern Continent. It was a rather big faction, but honestly speaking, it was an evil one.
An old man from the Jiang family walked out and said in a low voice, "I'm Jiang Tianhai. It's really nice for you to pay us a visit! I'm wondering, why have you come here?"
The old man wasn't very happy, but still, he didn't dare to offend Liu Jingning.
Xu Que never knew Liu Jingning was so famous here in the Eastern Continent, and he immediately knew the so-called Saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction was a virtuous title simply by the sound of it.
Liu Jingning said, "Everyone, there's really no need to be so nervous. We come with no bad intentions at all. This young man is just a friend of mine, and we happened to end up here. We were a bit curious earlier seeing you chipping the stone. We don't mean to take anything away from you, you've misunderstood us."
"Misunderstood?!"
Hearing this, several old men of the Jiang family were unhappy, and everyone else, including the stone-chipping man who had come from the Heaven Secret Pavilion, frowned.
One old man from the Jiang family walked forward and said in a low voice, "Saint Liu, if you call this a misunderstanding, does it mean that anyone else can take our things at his own will? If what happened today is heard by others, the reputation we established so far would be tarnished!"
Liu Jingning smiled. "I told you, this is simply a misunderstanding! This young man is still very inexperienced. Earlier, that thing came out from the stone and flew directly at him, so he caught it as anyone would in that situation. He didn't mean to take it away from you!"
No one in the stone quarry made a sound.
In fact, there was a rule in the stone quarry, which was that no one should ever touch anything that came out of the stone, and anyone who did it would be considered a robber!
Normally, anyone who broke this rule would be punished, but after hearing Liu Jingning's defense, the old men were hesitant.
After all, Liu Jingning was in the Void Training Stage and as the saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction, they knew that it wouldn't do them any good to offend her.
An old man of the Jiang Family broke the silence with a low voice, "Well, I believe that what you said is true, this is indeed a mistake! But… this young man has still broken the rules. Please ask him to hand the object in his hand back to us and make an apology to the Jiang family, as well as the owner of the stone, otherwise, we cannot possibly let him go."
Hearing this, the rest of people nodded, as did Liu Jingning.
In her view, what the old man had said was quite reasonable, and she didn't want Xu Que to get himself into trouble again.
"Little Que Que, give it back to them and make an apology, there's no need to make this business more serious than it should be," Liu Jingning smiled at Xu Que.
"Give it back to them and make an apology?" Xu Que sneered, "Why I have to do that?"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning's smile froze.
Oh man! He's angry now!
Xu Que turned around and sneered at the people on the ground.
"Yes, I can give it back to you, but why should I make an apology?! Earlier, I was flying and it almost hit me, so don't you think it's you who should really make an apology to me?"
Everyone was shocked.
This young man is insane, far too arrogant!
Does he really want to make himself an enemy of the Jiang family?!
Liu Jingning hurriedly said, "Xu Que, calm down! If you hadn't caught that thing, they couldn't possibly have accused of you breaking their rules…"
"F*ck the rules!" Xu Que rolled his eyes. He glared at the several old men and sneered, "Let me tell you! I also have rules! You almost hurt me earlier, and if you don't apologize to me, I won't give it back to you!"
"How dare you!" the men said altogether.
Their faces were rather gloomy, and they were furious at Xu Que's words. Clearly, Xu Que was challenging the authority of the Jiang family.
If we can't sort this business out, once people from other families hear about this, the Jiang family will become a laughing stock, and we'll surely be punished severely by the Jiang family!
"Saint Liu, is this how you call a 'misunderstanding'?!"
"I know you come from the Utmost Happiness Faction, but even so, you couldn't possibly humiliate us like this! Do you really think we're all Mr. Soft?!"
"Let me tell you two, we aren't done yet!" the old men said angrily.
Liu Jingning was terribly upset and said to Xu Que, "Xu Que, don't talk to them that way! Now apologize to them!"
Hearing this, Xu Que instantly became furious.
I've never ever been treated so unfairly! F*ck the Jiang Family! I'm not afraid of them at all!
"Liu Jingning, shut up! This has nothing to do with you. I never want anything to do with the Utmost Happiness Faction!" Xu Que shouted.
The people present were stunned.
My goodness! How dare he talk to her like this?! She's the saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction, a powerful woman in the Void Training Stage!
The saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction has always been a tough figure. How dare you, a young man in the Infant Transformation Stage, talk to her like that?!

568 If You Don’t Apologize, I Will Kill You!
Suddenly, the expression of all the people in the stone quarry became strange.
Someone was doubtful and thought Xu Que might have had an unfathomably impressive background; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to treat the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction so rudely.
Someone else was gloating and anticipated seeing how this legendary cruel Holy Virgin would punish such an ignorant and arrogant figure.
However, the result surprised everyone.
Liu Jingning wasn't angry but while shaking her head, said to Xu Que calmly, "Don't do that, calm down!"
She was a very clever woman, so she could understand Xu Que's words.
Xu Que was planning to deal with the matters on his own. Therefore, he was trying to prevent the Utopia Faction from getting involved in this issue by siding against Liu Jingning.
"I'm very calm!" Xu Que said with a smile, then looked down abruptly, his eyes full of disobedience and arrogance.
He was stubborn by nature, and he was by no means a man restricted by rules.
Besides, his bad temper had been shaped in the Five Elements Mountain. How could it be changed in the East Continent?
The so-called rules were established by powerhouses. Whether the rules were obeyed or not was dependent on an individual's strength!
Looking down at the confused crowd, Xu Que sneered, "Now listen! This woman, including her Utopia Faction, have nothing to do with me. Today, let me settle this issue with you by myself!"
Insolent! He's too insolent!
Everyone in the stone quarry was shocked.
The same one who dared to disrespect the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction and behave insolently must have had an unfathomable background!
However, it seemed like no organizations in the World of Cultivators would dare to disrespect the Utopia Faction and the Jiang family like this!
Could it be that he had come from an ancient secluded sect?
However, several elders of the Jiang Family were sneering!
Even if this young man was an apprentice of a secluded ancient sect, the Jiang family would still not be terrified by his background.
"Since you want to settle this issue alone, please state your name. We'll see whether you're qualified to settle this issue!" Jiang Tianhai said with a smile as he stared at Xu Que.
The Jiang family was emboldened to demand such things!
Seeing the situation escalate beyond her control, Liu Jingning could do nothing but act as an onlooker.
At the same time, with coldness shining in his eyes, Xu Que sneered, "I'm Xu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Xu is the Xu from Xu Que, and I don't know how to write Que! Is that clear?"
Everyone was instantly stunned.
Xu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction? And you don't know how to write Que?
Damn! Are you illiterate?
Liu Jingning was also shocked, then she shook her head wryly. Xu Que had even cracked a joke at this moment, which meant he was calm!
However, this was too much!
A calm person who chose to do such an impulsive thing was absolutely a bad*ss.
"The Exploding Heavens Faction? I've never heard of it!" The elders of the Jiang family shook their heads disdainfully.
As soon as people hear this vulgar and arrogant name, they'll know it's not a powerful organization!
"I don't care if you've ever heard of it, but the point is, you must apologize! As a liberal, I'll give you two options: you can apologize to me, then I'll return the thing to you, or you don't apologize, and I'll kill all of you immediately!" After finishing his words, Xu Que started to smile coldly, as if he was eager to give it a try!
If we don't apologize, you'll kill all of us immediately, right?
Hearing that, all people in the stone quarry were in chaos!
This guy is way too arrogant!
Someone who wanted to flatter the Jiang family seized the opportunity immediately by sneering at Xu Que, "Young man, are you insane?"
"You're just in Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage, still not top-level, so how could you talk so big here? This is ridiculous!" the elder of the Jiang family smiled like he had seen a fool!
"You're the first person who has dared to say these kind of words to the Jiang family in many years. It's a pity that you'll die soon."
"Holy Virgin Liu, you'd better stay away from this man. He's too stupid to be your junior!" said Jiang Tianhai, who was implying that Liu Jingning should stay away from this issue.
"Alas!" Liu Jingning shook her head and sighed, then she flew backward and said quietly, "I will not interfere in this matter!"
She thought it was necessary for Xu Que to suffer a bit. As long as she didn't completely step back from the issue, she would have no problems. At worst, she could help Xu Que escape when he was about to die.
She also knew Xu Que had a kind of escape spell that could help him escape instantly. Therefore, he wasn't in great danger.
However, everyone was laughing at Xu Que, but none of them knew Xu Que had opened the System and entered the Store Interface.
At this moment, his People Killing Book and People Killing Swords were already hungry and impatient!
He had killed five men of the Gong Family in the Water Nation before, and the People Killing Book and Sword had reached the tenth layer!
That day, he had killed four people in the Bright Moon Hotel, which successfully enhanced the Book and Sword to the 18th layer!
Now, he had to kill another six people to enhance the Book and Sword to the 30th layer, which was the highest!
Of course, the premise was that the cultivation levels of these people had to be higher than his, so he could enhance the Book and Sword by two layers by killing each of them.
The elders of the Jiang family were at Level 6 or Level 7 of the Infant Transformation Stage, which was quite satisfactory for Xu Que's purposes, but it was quite difficult to kill six powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage simultaneously with the People Killing Book and People Killing Sword at the 18th layer.
Therefore, he had to hurry in obtaining the Secret of All, so he could learn the Genuine " Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets to multiply his strength tenfold. Along with the People Killing Book and the People Killing Sword, he would defeat those people easily.
"System, quick, let me purchase the Nine Secrets!" Xu Que started to purchase the Nine Secrets in a rush!
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'Troop' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'Troop' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'Troop' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
…
After over ten purchases, Xu Que had spent more than 2,000 Acting Tough Points, but what he had obtained was only the Secret of Troop.
His luck was so lousy!
He had even suspected that the purchases were not performed randomly, and the System increased the difficulty to obtain the Secret of All so that he had to spend more Acting Tough Points!
"Damn! What a businessman you are! You're doing this deliberately, right?"
After spending 5,000 Acting Tough Points, Xu Que couldn't take it anymore, so he questioned the System.
The System didn't give him any response.
"This is outrageous! This is my first day in the East Continent, how could my luck be so lousy?" Xu Que became inexplicably impatient.
At the same time, the people in the stone quarry were still laughing at Xu Que.
More and more people were getting involved.
Liu Jingning had stated her stance that she wouldn't interfere in this matter. Many people thought that Xu Que was just a nobody. Moreover, they wanted to flatter the Jiang family, so they would definitely grab the opportunity!
"Young man, although you're a ruler, you should know that arrogant rulers like you always end up miserable!
"Now, you still have time to get down and bow in apology, and maybe the Jiang family could forgive your rudeness!
"Right! Stop acting foolishly, quickly come down and bow to admit your mistake!"
…
"Alas!"
At this moment, Liu Jingning sighed again.
She didn't know that Xu Que was still fighting with the System. Superficially, Xu Que was just in a daze in the sky, leaving the crowd at the bottom to laugh at him.
She couldn't take it anymore, so she delivered a message by moving her lips slightly. "Little brat, why did you ignore my advice to step back just now? Now what can you do? Fine, you go first and I'll cover you!"
Xu Que didn't reply, just continued to purchase the Nine Secrets!
What is the key to success? Yes, persistence!
You don't want me to obtain it, right? I will continue to try, this is nothing for me!
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'Troop' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'Troop' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'All' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
At last, along with the System's last warning sound, Xu Que was excited and his eyes were shiny again. A cold smile appeared on his lips!
It's time for a fight!

569 Anyway, It“s Not the First Time for Me to Do So
Good things come to those who wait.
By spending around six thousand Acting Tough Points, Xu Que had finally obtained the Secret of All!
Xu Que quickly started cultivating the Secret of All, and very soon, the Genuine Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets was fully developed.
With the help of the Genuine Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets, Xu Que could exert energy that was ten times stronger. He was now as powerful as someone who was ten levels stronger than him.
This was why Xu Que was acting so arrogant and audacious at this moment.
Bang!
The True Core Strength inside his body suddenly spread all over his body as he was about to activate the Genuine Secret of "All".
Xu Que, are you deaf?! You should leave! Liu Jingning sent him a message telepathically.
She had decided to help Xu Que, but at the same time, she did not want to ruin the relationship between her and the Jiang family.
With Xu Que being laughed at by people on the ground, she was terribly upset. She had made up her mind to let Xu Que leave first, leaving her to deal with the old men of the Jiang family.
All of a sudden, Xu Que burst into laughter.
Liu Jingning was shocked and felt something wasn't right with Xu Que.
What's going on?! Why do I feel a bit frightened by Xu Que's energy field, even though he's only in the Infant Transformation Stage! I must be mad! This is impossible!
"Why should I leave first?! I've said that if they don't apologize, I would kill them all! Anyway, it wouldn't be the first time for me to do so!" Xu Que sneered and stared at the several old men standing on the ground.
Right at this moment, Xu Que's black cloak was moving up and down with a cold breeze blowing.
His eyes frightened people…
Liu Jingning was feeling rather anxious, as she thought Xu Que was just joking and trying to provoke those people on the ground. She never thought he had meant it.
If Xu Que really kills them all, he'll put himself in an extreme situation!
"Holy sh*t! Something isn't right with Xu Que! Is he possessed by an evil spirit?" Buttface suddenly shouted.
Hearing what Buttface had said, Liu Jingning was becoming more worried.
Xu Que smiled coldly at the people on the ground. "Are you sure you aren't going to apologize to me?!"
He was speaking like he normally was, but Liu Jingning and Buttface could feel something was not right!
"I cannot possibly understand how you can still be this arrogant. You have no idea who you're speaking to!" the people on the ground laughed at him.
"If it weren't for Saint Liu, I would have already killed you! Now, you are most certainly going to die!"
"Wait!" Liu Jingning was terrified by the mere idea that the several old men were about to attack Xu Que together, since she wasn't sure if Xu Que would really be able to fight against them.
"There's no f*cking need to wait! Since they don't want to apologize to me, I'll kill them all!" Xu Que said while smiling towards Liu Jingning.
He then looked at the rest of people in the stone quarry and said, "You can all come at me! I promise I'll kill you all in less than ten shots!"
"Xu Que! You—" Liu Jingning said.
"If you dare say one more word, I'll kill you too!" Xu Que said to Liu Jingning coldly.
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned.
One minute ago, he was a cute young man who could no longer stand my flirting, and now he's so frightening!
Suddenly, Liu Jingning realized that apart from the strong energy field, Xu Que was surrounded by a Terrifying Spiritual Qi that would cause anyone to freak out.
He must have killed millions of people, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to be surrounded by such a strong Terrifying Spiritual Qi!
The people on the ground were all furious!
"This young man is seriously a fool! Does he have any idea what he's saying?"
"He even threatened saint Liu!"
"We should just kill him! I'm fed up with him already!"
"We have to make him realize that there's always someone more powerful than him!"
"Kill him!" Jiang Tianhai shouted. He turned into a invisible shadow and leapt high up into the sky.
Meanwhile, the other five old men followed him to fly toward Xu Que.
"You think you can kill me?! Don't be ridiculous!" Xu Que sneered and chanted a very difficult and obscure incantation.
A ray of golden light suddenly came out of his finger tip, and countless tiny inscriptions gathered together and flew along his veins.
Bang!
Something exploded inside Xu Que's body, and the energy field around him immediately intensified.
"What?!"
"This is impossible!"
The six old men of the Jiang family were extremely terrified.
They couldn't believe that the young man who was just in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage had suddenly become so powerful.
"Back off!" Jiang Tianhai shouted, ready to run away.
As a member of the Jiang family, he had gone through many horrible things, but this was the first time he felt afraid.
Bang!
Xu Que brandished his Dark Heavy Buster Sword. The next minute, an enormous black sword's shadow appeared in the air.
The sunlight was blocked and the whole sky went dark, causing the people on the ground to feel suffocated.
The six old men had no way out, but tried to get to the ground to run away.
When they were about to touch the ground, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Want to run away?! You lost your chance!" Xu Que smiled.
"How can you be so quick!" Jiang Tianhai pointed at Xu Que and questioned him, "What's the incantation you just practiced?!"
Liu Jingning and Buttface, who were standing not far away, were completely stunned by what they saw.
Xu Que now looked exactly like an evil genius!
After he had practiced the Genuine Secret of 'All', his neck was covered in endless black inscriptions, which made him look horrifying.
"Go to hell!"
Xu Que hit the six old men with his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
"Genuine Flame Devouring Wave!"
With the effect of the Genuine Secret of 'All' and the Killer Sword, the power of his Genuine Flame Devouring Wave was greatly enhanced.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The six old men of the Jiang Family exploded together and became a bloody mist that faded away.
Seeing this, no one made a sound...

570 The Smell of Death
"How… could that be?"
Everyone was shocked, horrified and incredulous!
As a ruler in Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage, Xu Que's attack was so destructive that six powerhouses in Level 6 and Level 7 of the Infant Transformation Stage had been killed instantaneously.
This kind of strength seemed to be unheard of in the same stage, which was shocking!
Liu Jingning was also dumbfounded. Her small mouth was slightly open, showing her surprise.
She had learned from Jiang Hongyan that Xu Que was extraordinarily gifted and had the potential to become a Holy Son in future, but she had never expected that Xu Que would reach the Infant Transformation Stage in such a short period or that his strength would be so formidable.
His attack just now had been strong enough to be compared to that of the cultivators at Level 9 of the Infant Transformation Stage. And if he used all of his strength, maybe he could challenge the cultivators in the Void Training Stage!
"Awesome, little brat! Your killing was so exhilarating!" Buttface shouted loudly with shiny eyes. He had regained his arrogant attitude.
At the same time, the warning tone of the System was also echoing in Xu Que's mind. The People Killing Book and the People Killing Sword had reached the 30th layer, the highest, which could enhance his strength remarkably!
Xu Que looked down at the people in the stone quarry and asked in a deep voice, "Anyone else?"
"Oh, no! Let's get out of this place quickly!"
"Run!"
People in the stone quarry were scared out of their minds and started to escape in all directions.
Even the Jiang family's powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage had been killed instantly! The rest of the people had lost their courage to fight.
"It's too late to escape now!" Xu Que smiled coldly. Three mystical fires appeared in his hand suddenly, floating in front of him and giving off a violent and horrible energy.
Liu Jingning changed her expression immediately, then dashed over and stood in front of Xu Que.
"Xu Que, don't do that! There are many apprentices of the big sects and families in this area. If you kill them all, you will really become the enemy of the whole world!"
"So what?" Xu Que smiled and said calmly, "I was doomed to be the enemy of the whole world from the moment I decided to help Jiang Hongyan!"
"But—"
"There is no but!" Xu Que interrupted Liu Jingning directly, then moved his body, squinted his eyes, and began to brag, "The Jiang family and the Gong family are nothing compared to the Exploding Heavens Faction! Liu Jingning, you know nothing about the strength of the Exploding Heavens Faction! Our motto is to kill anyone who stands in our way, even God, Buddha, or Heaven!"
If a god stops you, you will kill the god, right?
If a Buddha stops you, you will kill the Buddha, right?
If Heaven stops you, you will kill Heaven, right?
Liu Jingning was in a daze instantly. It was hard to believe that such rebellious and ambitious words could be uttered by such a cultured and elegant young man.
Is he really going to do this because of Jiang Hongyan?
Liu Jingning's heart was full of shock, admiration, and even a tad bit of jealousy.
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 410 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 430 Acting Tough Points!"
The System's warning tone echoed in Xu Que's mind.
He smiled quietly, then put his palms together to melt the three mystical fires in front of his body into a mesmerizing three-color fire lotus.
"Xu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction, don't do anything stupid! I'm an apprentice of the Heaven Secret Pavilion!" a loud roar sounded from the stone field at this moment, uttered by the same man who had cut the stone just before.
Then all the others began to cry out, "I'm an apprentice of the Eight Directions Vermilion Bird Pavilion, and we've never met before! If you kill me, the Eight Directions Four Image will hunt you until your death!"
"True, I'm the apprentice of the Eight Directions White Tiger Sect, you can't kill us!"
"And I'm from the Gong family, you don't have to mess with us!"
A lot of people had extraordinary backgrounds, otherwise they wouldn't have been allowed to enter the Jiang family's stone quarry!
Seeing that Xu Que was really trying to kill them, all these people were flustered and shouted as they ran away.
They pinned their last hopes on stating their backgrounds so that Xu Que might be terrified by the strength of their families or sects.
Xu laughed out loud, "You've asked me to act tough twice for the same issue! Okay, let me tell you, today I want to kill people of big sects and big families like you. In the face of our Exploding Heavens Faction, you are nothing! And you have nothing to support your arrogance!"
Boom!
Before finishing his words, Xu Que waved his hand and threw the three-color fire lotus abruptly.
"No!" the crowd cried out in surprise. Before the arrival of the fire lotus, they had been awed by its horrible momentum. Their blood was frozen and they could feel chills starting from their toes.
They could smell death!
However, the fire lotus still appeared above them. The seductive flame petals blossomed like summer flowers and gave off a dazzling light.
Rumble!
An earth-shaking bang burst in the stone quarry. Violent energy swept out, as if it could devour everything!
Thanks to the power bonus of the Secret of "All" and the People Killing Book reaching the 30th layer, the destructive power of the three-color fire lotus had exceeded beyond his imagination.
"Sh*t!" Xu Que was also scared, so he immediately grabbed Buttface and Liu Jingning and flew high into the sky with lightning under his feet. They were still almost hit by the sea of fire!
The bursting radius of the fire lotus was really horrible, over ten times larger than the explosion in the Bright Moon Hotel!
Dozens of men and women in the stone quarry were killed instantly without leaving a drop of blood, for all of them were directly evaporated in the sea of fire.
Liu Jingning was completely shocked.
Now the stone quarry below them had been turned into a purgatory. She suspected that if she had been in the quarry, she would also have been killed or seriously wounded.
"Little brat, some of them have escaped!" Buttface said and pointed to a distant place.
A few people had escaped at the very beginning, so they hadn't been swallowed by the fire lotus. Now, they were running away crazily.
"Stop them!" Liu Jingning shouted immediately, even wanting to kill them herself.
"No, come on!" Xu Que dragged Liu Jingning away immediately and said in disgust, "Why do you want to do that? As the saying goes, forgive others whenever you can! We should have a bottom-line! It's so cruel to kill them all! Just let them go! This is a good thing!"
"What?" Hearing this, Liu Jingning widened her eyes and was so mad she could spit. "Do you know the consequences of letting them go?"
"I know! As an upright, open, and aboveboard man, I will not be terrified of their revenge!" Xu Que said passionately while he patted his chest.
Are you kidding me? If I kill them all, no one in this world will learn my reputation!
If I don't let them go, how would I get the big families and sects to come seek revenge against me?
If they don't come, how could I, as the King of Tough-Acting, act tough and cause trouble?
Liu Jingning said coldly, "If you insist on doing this, they will go back to get reinforcements! If powerhouses at the Form Synthesis Stage come for you, you'll face certain death, and no one will be able to protect you anymore!"
"Don't worry! If you're afraid, just don't follow us!" Xu Que said with a smile. He wasn't nervous at all, for he had prepared a plan in his head.
If an old monster in the Form Synthesis Stage really comes to me, I could just escape. Anyway, this is nothing for me, since I have the assistance of the Human-Skin Mask!
However, before Liu Jingning's reply, Buttface came forward and gave a thumbs-up to Xu Que. "Little brat, what you said is correct! I am also not afraid, but I remember I have to deal with an important issue. I have to go now. Remember, the green mountains do not change, the clear water keeps flowing, we will meet if fate beholds... Hey, what are you doing? Let me go! Let me go! Don't drag my collar!"

571 Can You Stop Looking at Me!
Finally, Buttface followed Xu Que, and the two started their journey.
Buttface knew that he would be targeted and attacked if he wandered around outside by himself, since the few who ran away had met him before and knew who he really was.
As for Liu Jingning, she still wanted to stay with Xu Que and didn't show any signs of leaving.
Even if Xu Que said something harsh to her, she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she still smiled at Xu Que in a rather attractive way, which made Xu Que feel very uncomfortable.
"Can you stop looking at me?!" Xu Que suddenly said.
Liu Jingning laughed. "Little Que Que, you call yourself handsome and marvelous. I do agree with you and find you very attractive indeed, so I can't help looking at you."
"Well, sometimes, having a handsome face really makes my life a bit difficult. I never thought you, just like everyone else, would simply be attracted by my appearance. You never even bother to see the beauty on the inside! I'm really disappointed!" Xu Que sighed.
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was amused.
I have never seen someone who is as shameless as he is!
"Little Que Que, earlier, you didn't even blink while killing those people. Tell me, how can I see the beauty inside after I saw you showing off your cruel nature?" Liu Jingning shook her head.
Xu Que stared at her and said with a serious face, "Don't be daft! You should feel my inner beauty with your heart, not see it with your eyes! You should feel it with your own body. I can have sex with with you, if possible, but remember, I said this with the utmost reluctance. I believe you will feel my inner beauty when you have sex with me."
"I'm really looking forward to it!" Clearly, Liu Jingning was not embarrassed by what Xu Que had just said, rather, she beautifully smiled.
Seeing this, Xu Que rolled his eyes.
I knew it! This woman must be more experienced in sex than I am.
"You will be regret what you've said today!"
The three quickly left the stone quarry and flew away, soon arriving outside of the ancient city.
It was already very late, so Xu Que decided to find a place to sleep in the city.
However, Liu Jingning and Buttface disagreed. They believed that it would be too dangerous to stay in the city. Since Xu Que had made such a show, it was simply impossible for them to stay in the city.
"You two are really cowards! Haven't you heard that the most dangerous place is usually the safest place. Besides, I'm such an intelligent man, do you really think I'm stupid enough to stay in the city and wait for them to come to kill me?!" Xu Que said while taking out two masks of human faces from the System.
He wore one of the masks, and his face instantly looked exactly like Hu Ge.
Seeing this, Liu Jinging was seriously surprised. "That's how you managed to get into the Bright Moon Hotel earlier today? But anyway, that mask is really wonderful! Even I couldn't tell! Little Que Que, tell me, what do you call it, and who makes it?"
"Of course, this mask is made by people from the Exploding Heavens Faction. Do you also want to join us?" Xu Que smiled and handed the other mask to Liu Jingning.
Liu Jingning smiled. "If I join your Faction, can I be your wife?!"
"Don't be ridiculous. We have more people in the Exploding Heavens Faction than you could ever imagine. You could only be a maid, but of course, if you behave yourself, you might become one of my concubines!" Xu Que said with an arrogant face.
Hearing this, Liu Jingning laughed and hit Xu Que gently on the head.
"Young man, you are really funny. I'm much older than you, so you should pay your respects to me and mind your words."
She took the mask and put it on her face.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Jingning's face looked exactly like a handsome young man.
Liu Jingning used a piece of ice as a mirror and showed her the reflection.
"What? You mean I'm a man this time?!"
"Only in this way can we hide from them! Besides that, you had better change your clothes." Xu Que nodded and took out a man's gown.
"This is funnier than I thought it would be!" Liu Jingning instantly agreed with Xu Que's idea.
Xu Que also became rather excited, but still said with a serious face, "We don't have enough time, so you should just change here. I will stay here in case others secretly see you changing."
"Thanks, but you should close your eyes too." Liu Jingning blinked her eyes.
"I swear on Buttface's life that I won't watch you changing!"
Xu Que's heart was pounding very quickly and his eyes were wide open in great excitement.
This woman is crazy! I never thought she would agree. No matter what, I really want to see her chang.
Liu Jingning gently waved her hands. The next minute, her whole body was covered in light. She circled around, and when the light disappeared, Liu Jingning had transformed into a handsome young man.
"I'm done."
"Holy sh*t!" Xu Que was stunned by what he saw.
You changed so fast! But… excuse me, don't you think your breasts are a little too big?
Usually, when a woman wanted to dress like a man, in particular a curvy woman like Liu Jingning, would have to wear something similar to a corset to make her breasts seem smaller.
It seemed that it was the first time Liu Jingning had dressed like a man, since she had forgotten to bind her chest.
"Never mind. We shall go into the city now." Xu Que smiled and strode towards the city.
Liu Jingning hadn't noticed that something wasn't right, nor did Buttface.
As soon as they walked into the city, many people were surprised to see a young man with a huge pair of boobs.
"Look at that young man with that huge chest!"
"My god! I've never seen anyone like him!"
"Clearly, he looked exactly like a man..."
Many people began to discuss it with each other.
When Liu Jingning realized that the people were all talking about her, she suddenly stopped and was about to say something.
Right at this moment, Xu Que reached out his hand and put it on her back.
"Don't be afraid, I'll make them stop!"
Liu Jingning hadn't quite figured out what was really going on, but she was very moved by Xu Que's actions.
Well, I never thought he would be such a reliable man!
"F*ck off! Stop looking at him!
"He's a shemale! Is there really a need to be so surprised about this?!
"Get out of the way, otherwise, I'll tell him to take off his clothes and frighten the sh*t out of all of you!"

572 The Stone-Cutting Convention!
The crowd was in uproar.
After all, Xu Que was a cultivator in the Infant Transformation Stage. These people also didn't want to offend a cultivator like him without any reason!
Fortunately, Liu Jingning had also concealed her cultivation level, otherwise, as a cultivator in the Void Training Stage, she might have startled the City Governor as well.
But at that moment, Liu Jingning was so annoyed that she was almost about to spit!
She had thought that Xu Que would step forward and stick up for her, but Xu Que had just introduced her as an androgynous man, which pissed her off immediately.
Only then did she realize what was wrong. She had disguised herself as a man, and although she was wearing a long robe and had changed her appearance, she had forgotten to cover up her figure.
According to Xu Que's speech, she knew that he must have long known, but he deliberately hadn't told her so that she would make a fool of herself in public.
"Xu Que, you little b*stard!" Liu Jingning ground her teeth with hatred, then dashed out of the city immediately.
At this moment, she couldn't stay any longer, and had to tidy up quickly, or she wouldn't be able to stand it anymore.
"Hahahah!" Xu Que and Buttface were so happy and burst out in laughter.
"Little brat, you're too mean. How could you work out such a cruel move? You're shameless!" Buttface said.
Slap!
Xu Que slapped Buttface's forehead and widened his eyes, saying, "You're asking for a good spanking! How could I be a man with vulgar interests like that?"
"Damn it!" Buttface became annoyed immediately and was ready to rush up to fight with Xu Que.
At this moment, there was a commotion ahead, and the people in the street were rushing toward one building.
"Quick, the Stone-Cutting Convention is about to commerce!"
"I've heard that people from many big sects and families will participate in this convention. It'll be quite exciting!"
"It's more than that! I've heard that this time, the Jiang family and the Gong family worked together to bring a lot of ancient stones here from the outskirts of the Heaven Dragon Cave, which is one of the Nine Deathtraps."
"Oh my god, this time, maybe something good will be discovered!"
"Come on, let's go have a look."
People were talking about the event, and more and more people were hurrying towards the building.
"A Stone-Cutting Convention? Little brat, would you like to go and have a look?" Buttface was excited immediately, his eyes lit up.
Xu Que was in a daze for a moment, and something occurred to him.
"That's right! The item that I got at the stone quarry of the Jiang family…"
Just then, he had focused his attention on the fight and had thrown an item into the System Package before he could take a closer look at it. Now, he thought about it and immediately opened the system interface.
In the storage grid of the System, an item of a jade-like substance was surrounded by a faint halo.
"A Dragon Soul Element?" Xu Que was stunned.
That thing, unexpectedly, was another Dragon Soul Element, which looked even bigger than the one stolen by Buttface.
However, it seemed that this item was still useless!
Regardless of its size, the properties of the two Dragon Soul Elements were exactly the same—a probability of sixty percent in getting a Basic Star Rank magic, a probability of fifty percent in getting an Intermediate Star Rank magic art, and a probability of thirty percent in getting an Advanced Star Rank magic art.
Ding! "Two Dragon Soul Elements have been found. Are you going to merge them?"
Suddenly, the warning tone of the System sounded!
Xu Que was instantly shocked. Could these items be merged?
An interface popped up in the system immediately. After the merging of two Dragon Soul Elements, the probability of obtaining magic arts will be enhanced.
"Then try to merge them!" Xu Que wasn't confident in his luck today but he still agreed to try.
The System interface immediately flashed. The two Dragon Soul Elements were turned into two strands of green light that intertwined and merged with each other.
Ding! "The merging was successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Two-Star Dragon Soul Element!"
[Two-Star Dragon Soul Element]
A probability of one hundred percent in getting a Basic Star Rank magic art, a probability of eighty percent in getting an Intermediate Star Rank magic art, and a probability of fifty percent in getting an Advanced Star Rank magic art.
"Wow, this time, it's profitable!" Xu Que was pleasantly surprised.
His goal was only the Advanced Star Rank magic arts. Through merging, the probability had been enhanced to fifty percent from thirty, so he had really gained a lot this time.
For something like luck, two thirty percents didn't equal sixty. However, one item with a probability of fifty percent was definitely better than two items with probabilities of thirty percent!
If he could get more Dragon Soul Elements, he could probably be guaranteed Advanced Star Rank magic arts through merging!
It's interesting, I'd better keep this item safe! Xu Que murmured to himself delightedly.
Bad luck today? It's definitely not! Strength is the ultimate decisive factor! When I obtain an Advanced Star Rank magic art, I will crush my enemies easily!
Xu Que's mood had been changed a little. In the past, he might have been inclined to be opportunistic, but now, he put more and more importance in his strength!
"Little brat, aren't you going to find a hotel? Why are you still here?"
At this moment, the voice of Liu Jingning could be heard.
She had become a little wiser this time. She had not only changed her figure, but even lowered her voice deliberately to make it more neutral.
"Buttface said he will attend the Stone-Cutting Convention, and I can't stop him. It's okay to go and have a look!" Xu Que replied.
Originally, he was not interested in this Stone-Cutting Convention, but now he was eager to get more Dragon Soul Elements, which could only be obtained from ancient stones!
Hearing that, Liu Jingning immediately changed her expression and said immediately, "No, the Stone-Cutting Convention is not a good place for you to make trouble. You should know that this event is guarded by many powerhouses in the Void Training Stage! If you make trouble there, even I can't protect you!"
"Just the Void Training Stage, which is nothing to me! Right, Buttface?" Xu Que said with a smile.
"Eh, perhaps we shouldn't go this time. I feel sick now and need some rest!" When Buttface learned there would be powerhouses at the convention, he became cowardly.
"It doesn't matter. If you feel sick, I can carry you there in my arms!" Xu Que grabbed Buttface's collar and walked directly to the building.
Buttface changed his expression and shouted in horror, "Howl, no! I don't want to go there! Damn it!"
Liu Jingning was bewildered and said again, "Xu Que, you…"
Xu Que turned around quickly and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, I won't make trouble this time. I just want to get something good out of the stones!"
"Really?" Liu Jingning remained deeply skeptical.
"Of course! I always keep my word!"
"Damn! Don't believe him!" Buttface cried.
"But do you know how to cut stones?" Liu Jingning asked as she looked at Xu Que curiously.
"Are you kidding me? I'm the little prince of the Stone-Cutting industry, so I know everything about it. Let's go, and let me show you the world of Stone-Cutting!" Xu Que laughed and walked into the building.
In fact, he knew nothing about Stone-Cutting. He only knew it was similar to betting on stones—one bought a stone first, then cut it; if nothing good was found inside the stone, one bought another stone and cut it again!
Anyway, this time, he had made up his mind to get Dragon Soul Elements in the Stone-Cutting Convention, no matter how many Spirit Stones he would spend on it.
Liu Jingning found she couldn't waver Xu Que's determination, so she could only go with him while shaking her head with a wry smile.
At this time, the building was ablaze with lights.
It was a building smaller than the Bright Moon Hotel. However, its decorations were as good as those of the Bright Moon Hotel! The quaint building was full of carved railings and jade inlays that were magnificently impressive.
A lot of people had gathered in the building, but there was a large open space in the middle, as spacious as a football field. Inside this area, a large number of strange stones were stacked and giving off intense Spiritual Qi.
All the people were pointing at the stones and discussing their quality.
Some people were watching the stones carefully and thoughtfully.
"Little brat, just buy a stone and try it!" Buttface was attracted by the stones and eager to try.
It seemed Liu Jingning was not good at stone cutting, but she still nodded and said, "This is just the peripheral area of the convention, and basically, buyers were not optimistic about the stones here. But you still can try one or two first, perhaps you'll get a precious item if you're lucky!"
"One or two? Are you kidding?" Xu smiled immediately.
After that, he stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Listen, today, Wang Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction will buy all the stones here, just wrap them all up for me!"

573 It’s My Own Money, I Can Spend as Much as I Wan
Hearing what Xu Que had said, everyone present fell into silence.
You want to buy all the stones?
Everyone turned around and looked at Xu Que in great surprise, as if they were looking at a fool.
"Are you mad?! Do you have any idea what you're talking about?"
Liu Jingning pulled Xu Que's sleeve.
All of a sudden, people burst into laughter.
"It seems that this young man knows nothing about stone-cutting!"
"Young man, the key of stone-cutting lies in how you cut a stone and the ability of spotting a good stone. It has nothing to do with how many Spiritual Stones you have!"
"I'm sure you'll regret what you've just said."
"By the way, most of the stones here aren't a very good quality. What's the point of buying them all?"
Everyone laughed at Xu Que.
Xu Que waved his hand. "You know nothing! I said I would buy them all, and I will buy them all. I have many more Spiritual Stones, more than you can imagine. Do you know how it feels when I wake up and see piles of piles of Spiritual Stones around me?"
Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
This young man is so pretentious! He has plenty of Spiritual Stones, so what?!
No matter what, everyone present believed Xu Que would get nothing in the end, since most of the stones were just piles of crap. Only those who had the ability to spot a good stone could find a few good ones.
But it was still rather silly for someone to buy them all, since even if Xu Que found something good, it's value could never match the money he had spent on all the stones.
"Really?! You really have enough Spiritual Stones? It'll cost you at least a couple thousand Spiritual Stones of top quality!" Liu Jingning was worried.
"What?!"
These stones cost thousands of Spiritual Stones of top quality?! Holy sh*t! If I began to work in the industry of stone-cutting, I could definitely earn more than I did by selling hamburgers and ice cream.
"Stone-cutting is a very risky activity that also costs a lot. Normally, people don't dare to take part in this activity unless they really know what they're doing," Liu Jingning said while shaking her head.
"Hurry up! Man up! Don't care about if you're going to go bankrupt! Buy them all!" Buttface shouted.
"You're right! I should just buy them all!" Xu Que nodded.
Anyway, I have plenty of Spiritual Stones. Yes, thousands of Spiritual Stones is a big sum of money, but never mind that.
After he killed many powerful men of the Infant Transformation Stage that day and earned lots of Spiritual Stones, along with the Spiritual Stones he had brought with him from the Five Element Mountain, he had around three thousand Spiritual Stones of top quality.
"Pack all the stones up for me!" Xu Que shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was speechless and brought her palm to her forehead.
I never thought he would be so stubborn, just like this damn dog!
"I've never seen someone who's willing to spend such a huge amount of money to buy a pile of crappy stones!" Liu Jingning forced out a smile.
Xu Que smiled. "What's the point of being granted the talent of making money if I don't spend the money I make?!"
Hearing this, the people around were completely stunned.
My goodness! I know you're rich, but there's really no need to be this arrogant!
Don't you feel shameless for what you've said?
...
At the moment, a male servant hurriedly came forward and asked again if Xu Que wanted to buy all the stones. When he learned Xu Que really meant what he had said, he was terribly shocked. Still, he sold the stones to Xu Que.
"The total amount is one thousand and two hundred Spiritual Stones, and you should give me a hundred more, since there's an extra fee for cutting the stone," the servant said.
Xu Que quickly handed all the stones to the servant without even blinking.
Seeing this, many people were quite jealous. Liu Jingning was also shocked, because she had never thought Xu Que was this rich!
Very soon, a few more male servants came forward, each with a jade knife, ready to cut the stones for Xu Que.
Xu Que sat comfortably on a chair to the side with maids serving him tea. Usually, a man of great fortune was always welcomed by the staff of the stone-cutting convention, since they could make a fortune off of him.
Quickly, people stopped laughing at him and even started to admire him.
"It seems that we underestimated him! He really is rich!"
"Haven't you seen? He is quite at ease and is not bothered by spending so much money at all."
"Wang Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction? Why have I never heard of him before?"
"I knew it! There are many powerful men in the Eastern Continent!"
Hearing people's comments, Xu Que laughed. Even if he couldn't get another piece of Dragon Soul Element, he was already quite satisfied with receiving so much admiration from others.
The sound of a notification kept ringing...
He had received more than five thousand Acting Tough Points by acting tough in front of everyone.
"Fantastic!"
Compared with Acting Tough Points, the Spiritual Stone was nothing.
Soon, the male servants managed to cut many stones, however, nothing valuable was found. Seeing this, people all shook their heads.
"It seems that there are more crappy stones than I thought. They've cut more than a third of the stones, and haven't found a single good one yet."
"I thought that round stones were supposed to be good ones!"
"Stone-cutting requires a bit of luck!"
...
Liu Jingning who was standing next to Xu Que, frowned. "Xu Que, you have really bad luck this time!"
"Nonsense! It's said that he who likes laughing always has good luck! You think I've lost a huge sum of money, but actually I haven't."
"Come back to reality! Do you have any idea how many incidents you've dragged yourself into today?!"
Hearing this, Xu Que suddenly realized what Liu Jingning had said was true.
When he first landed the Eastern Continent, he had been misunderstood by Qin Ji and killed someone in the The Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect. Then he had ran into trouble with Han Guoqiang when he was in Tian Luo City, and he had met people of the Gong family when he was at the Bright Moon Hotel...
"We all have bad luck sometimes. Believe me, everything will be better when you wake up tomorrow morning," Xu Que said rather casually.
Liu Jingning shook her head and smiled. "You're being naive. I'm afraid you'll get yourself into more trouble from today onward."
"F*ck off! Are you cursing me?" Xu Que was a bit unhappy.
Liu Jingning smiled, "I'm not cursing you. By the way, do you still remember what I said to you when we were in the Water Nation?"
"Not really, you know how I am..."
Liu Jingning rolled her eyes and said, "I said that you should keep your distance from Jiang Hongyan, otherwise you would be unlucky. Anyone who is close to Jiang Hongyan is dragged into bad incidents. I'm afraid that what you've experienced so far is just the beginning..."
"What?!" Xu Que was stunned.
Does that mean what I have experienced today was all due to Jiang Hongyan?!
This can't be true! I come from the twenty-first century, I'm an educated man!
This is just a bunch of nonsense!
Right at this moment, a male servant came forward and said, "We cut all of the stones, and we found nothing inside."

574 I Was Set Up by the System!
Puff!
When he heard the waiter's words, Xu Que spat out the tea he had just drunk.
"Are all of them useless? Can't you even find one good one?" Xu Que stared at the boy in disbelief.
Liu Jingning was also surprised, then immediately smiled while looking at Xu Que, for she had warned Xu Que about this before.
The waiter smiled wryly and nodded. "Yes, my Lord. It's so strange that we've never encountered such a thing before. How could so many stones be useless?"
"Today, I'm as unlucky as a dog!" Xu Que was quite angry. Over 1,000 top grade Spirit Stones were gone with the wind!
Buttface, who was beside him, became sensitive again when he heard Xu Que mention dogs, so he said angrily, "Why am I involved in this bullsh*t?"
"Damn, I didn't mean you!" Xu Que said angrily.
"Hum!" Buttface snorted coldly because he felt something was wrong—he didn't want to admit he was a dog!
At this time, all the guests in the area were talking about this issue.
After all, it was the first time for them to witness something as weird as this.
Although people weren't optimistic about some of the stones there, sometimes these people bet on the wrong horse. There were always dozens of useful stones, or at least several useful stones in each batch of stones meant for cutting.
But now Xu Que had bought so many ancient stones, and none of them had been useful, which was weird.
"Could it be that my good luck ends here? Is calamity knocking on my door as soon as I arrive in the East Continent?" Xu Que laughed wryly.
Liu Jingning sighed and had to deliver a message telepathically to Xu Que, for so many people were around her. "Her mother was the best example, so I advised you not to wade in that muddy water! Even Hongyan thinks so. She doesn't want to have too much to do with you, otherwise, your luck will become worse and worse!"
"Boo, do you think I'd be easily terrified by this? It's only 1,300 top grade Spirit Stones. I just don't believe this! Today, I'll try my luck with these stones!" Xu Que snorted, as he was not satisfied with this explanation.
He patted his thigh and shouted, "Waiter, are there any stones left? I'll buy them all today!"
"Wow!"
His words caused uproar among the guests!
"Awesome, this cultivator really came here to donate Spirit Stones!"
"Normal people would stop trying if they encountered such a weird thing. Why does he insist on trying again?"
"I don't know, maybe the reason is that he's rich!"
"Yes, over a thousand top grade Spirit Stones is not a small sum, but he just threw them out as if he was playing!"
"How I envy him!"
Many people were deeply touched, seeing that the wealth gap among people was too big!
Ding! "Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 430 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for acting tough successfully. The reward is 450 Acting Tough Points!"
The warning tones of the System were echoing in Xu Que's mind. However, Xu Que ignored the tones and just stared at the waiter with fiery eyes.
The waiter's heart was filled with ecstasy, and he thought today he had met a truly impressive man, so he nodded immediately. "My Lord, we do have more! We still have a lot of better stones. Although the price is a bit higher, these stones are definitely worth the price. Would you please follow me to the venue of stone-cutting?"
"Sh*t! Isn't this place for stone-cutting?" Xu Que was stunned.
The waiter said with a smile, "My Lord, you misunderstand! This is just small sales field. The real Stone-Cutting Convention is in our backyard! All the big shots like you play there!"
"Fine, just lead the way!" Xu Que immediately got up and waved to the waiter to show him the way.
Liu Jingning dragged Xu Que and said in surprise, "You're just donating your Spirit Stones to them!"
"Yes, I'm here to splurge. As a foolish rich man, I can't help doing that!" Xu Que said naively as he winked with a smile.
Liu Jingning instantly became speechless. He had admitted he was foolish rich man, what could she do to stop him?
However, deep in his heart, Xu Que was not reconciled to his bad luck!
If he was really unlucky, his Spirit Stones would be far from enough. Stone-cutting was just a bottomless hole!
"System, do you sell X-ray perspective machines that could be used to check the quality of the stones?" Xu Que could do nothing but open the System to have communicate with it.
Ding! "Please upgrade the System to Version 5.0, so that the X-ray perspective machine will be available!"
"By the way, do you sell extraordinary powers? You even sell the powerful magic arts; you must have extraordinary powers for sale, right? I want a perspective eye!"
Ding! "Please upgrade the System to Version 8.0, so that the extraordinary powers will be available!"
"Sh*t! You're making trouble! Why do you always ask me to upgrade the System? This must be a conspiracy!"
Xu Que was quite unwilling to do that. However, if he didn't upgrade the System, he could really do nothing!
But after the upgrades, his Acting Tough Points, over 80,000, were at risk of being used up.
This is really annoying!
"All right, all right, you win! Just upgrade the System to Version 5.0 directly!" Finally, Xu Que was forced to give in to the System!
And he was not only focusing on the X-ray perspective machine. The most important thing was that a function of the name "Lucky Aura" would be available after Version 5.0 of the System was activated, which might give him unlimited luck to suppress the bad luck brought on by Jiang Hongyan!
Ding! "20,000 Acting Tough Points were consumed. The System was upgraded successively. The current version is 4.0.
"Star Rank magic arts are available in the Mall.
"Magical artifacts with levels from six-star to ten-star are available in the Mall!"
Ding! "40,000 Acting Tough Points were consumed. The System was upgraded successively. The current version is 5.0.
"More mechanical equipment and instruments are available in the Mall!
"More vocational skills are available in the Mall!
"The system has unlocked the function of 'Lucky Aura'!
"The system has unlocked the function of 'Debt Collector Beats Debtors'!
Ding! "The System found the 8,000 Acting Tough Points borrowed by the host 'Xu Que' have been overdue for one year, and nothing was paid back by the host! The host shall pay off the principal and the interest, which is 20,000 Acting Tough Points, within ten days; otherwise, the System will activate the function of 'Debt Collector Beats Debtors'!"
"F*ck!"
Hearing that, Xu Que cursed loudly and was ready to spit in anger.
Damn it, no one is wise at all times! I was set up by the System!
No wonder the system always asked him to upgrade; its purpose was to activate the function of "Debt Collector Beats Debtor" after being upgraded to version 5.0!
Even worse, a year ago he had borrowed 8,000 Acting Tough Points, now he was being asked to pay back 20,000 Acting Tough Points! Damn! Only a fool would pay you back!
"What's the matter?" Liu Jingning and Buttface were startled by Xu Que's sudden cursing at the same time.
Xu Que waved his hand and said in a cold voice, "Nothing. I just remembered that someone is going to beat me in ten days."
"Who is that?" Liu Jingning and Buttface asked simultaneously.
"Don't worry, just a few people I borrowed from. Let me tell you, I hate loan sharks the most, especially those debt collectors who often hit others in the genitals. If I see them, I'll stab them to death with an eel!!"
"Ah?" Liu Jingning and Buttface were totally dumbfounded and didn't understand what Wu Que was talking about.
"Forget it!" Xu Que shook his head to shake off his anger.
At this time, the waiter led them through the empty buildings to a huge arched door!
The entire door was covered by a faint blue halo, as if a clear stream was flowing on it and giving off intense Spiritual Qi with its ripples.
"My Lord, you will have arrived at the venue of the Stone-Cutting Convention by passing through this door. Please come in!" the waiter smiled warmly.
Xu Que nodded and looked at Liu Jingning abruptly, then asked with a smile, "By the way, little sister, what did you say just now? I'm here to donate the Spirit Stones, right? Hehe, let me tell you, from this moment onward, if I choose another piece of useless stone, you can write my family name, Wang Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction, upside down!"

575 I Have to Show Them How Wonderful I Am
Hearing what Xu Que had said, Liu Jingning was stunned.
She wasn't shocked by Xu Que's bragging, but instead by his overconfidence.
He's been so unlucky today, why on earth is he so sure that he'll definitely find something valuable in these stones?
"Xu Que, are you mad?! Do you have any idea what you're saying?" Buttface was surprised. "Sh*t! You're lying to them again! I won't buy your words anymore! You are Xu Que, not Wang Sicong!"
Hearing this, Xu Que and Liu Jingning looked at each other and smiled.
"Silly! Wang (王) is the family name of Wang Sicong, so it will still be Wang if you write it upside down!" Liu Jingning shook her head and smiled.
Buttface was confused, then he shouted, "You're such a schemer! If I'm cheated by you again, I'll also write my first name upside down."
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm sure all the stones will be good!" Xu Que said and took out the X-ray machine from the System. It was as big as a human's palm, and with its help, Xu Que could see through the stones. The inside would be projected onto the screen of the System. Besides, it only cost one thousand Acting Tough Points a day.
"Little Que Que, I think you shouldn't waste your Spiritual Stones anymore. As far as I'm concerned, all the stones here are better than the ones you bought earlier, but still, there will be some bad ones. Also, the stones here are much more expensive. I'm sure you can get something nice from them, but I'm also sure that what you get from the stones will be far less valuable than what you'll have spent."
Liu Jingning shook her head, rather worried.
After all, it wasn't clear that if Xu Que would be unlucky again.
Xu Que was very calm and smiled. "You'll see! Buttface, follow me and play some background music!"
"What? What did you just say?" Buttface was confused.
"Background music! Come and take this MP3 player and play the song from 'God of Gamblers'!" Xu Que said and gave Buttface a recorder that he had bought from the System.
Buttface was stunned and excited to see the MP3 player. He had never seen such a thing and was about to chew it.
Seeing this, Xu Que shouted, "You idiot! It's not edible! Now press that red button, I need to show them how wonderful I am!"
"You mean this thing can play music?!" Buttface grew curious, as did Liu Jingning.
Xu Que smiled. "You're full of questions, aren't you? Be patient, you'll see how it works soon!"
…
At the same time, at the huge yard behind the arched doors…
The whole yard was as big as two football stadiums and was surrounded by walls made of brick.
In the center, there was a pond in which several ancient pavilions of the traditional Chinese style were built.
Each one of the pavilions was a figure of great importance and represented an influential family.
Around the pavilions, there were many beautiful flowers and plants. Green mountains could be seen, and the murmuring of running water could be heard, as well.
Some scholars were playing the zither on the other side of the pond, and the sound of it could also be heard from time to time.
The atmosphere was tranquil and elegant.
In one of the many pavilions, there were a few old men of the Void Training Stage chatting happily.
"How nice this place is! The stone-cutting convention, under the cooperation of the Jiang and Gong families, is going to be a great success."
"To my surprise, apart from us Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect, the other three Sects are also here, and the three big families in the Eastern Continent have sent many people here as well."
"Both the Jiang family and the Gong family are bound to make a fortune from this convention. They've dug out many ancient stones from the Heaven Dragon Cave, and you know what, everyone in the Eastern Continent wants to have a look at them!"
"The Heaven Dragon Cave is such a dangerous place. It seems like they found the stones on the outskirts, but still, to get the stones, many powerful men in the two families have been sacrificed."
"I'm so glad that Elder Qin is also here today. I'm sure you can get many treasures from these stones."
"Stop talking in nonsense! We shall not underestimate people from other influential Families and Factions!"
The few old men were happily talking with each other, while enjoying the beautiful sound of the voice and flute.
All of a sudden, the void of the entrance began to ripple.
The next minute, two shadows quickly passed through the entrance, accompanied by some pop music that was echoing in the whole yard.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!"
…
Everyone all looked at the entrance, and found a handsome young man and a dog wearing black cloaks.
Both of them walked slowly and proudly into the yard.
Buttface was carrying a recorder on his shoulder and walked as a man did. He looked extremely arrogant and cold.
While Xu Que was wearing the same hairstyle as Chow Yun-fat, he was and a jade ring on his hand. He was walking slowly, while smiling and gently waving his hand, as if he was being welcomed by his fans.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw, but somehow, they all felt the two looked rather cool.
Those who knew something about music was terribly moved by the rhythm of the music, they had never heard of this sort of music before and felt it was really magnificent.
"Stop!"
Xu Que suddenly said.
Buttface quickly turned off the music.
People were all drawn by the recorder and looked at it rather curiously.
"Hello, everyone! I am Chow Yun-fat, it's the first time for me to be here, if I have said or done anything wrong, come and f*cking hit me!"
What?!
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
No one at present responded to Xu Que, after all, they all came from either a big Family or an influential Faction, it would be very disgraceful for them to reply to such a reckless young man.
Still, some of the young men at present looked at Xu Que coldly and sneered.
The next minute, Liu Jingning came.
Earlier, when Xu Que told her he wanted to get into the yard with a looking of Chou Yun-fat and with a recorder on, she decided not to get into the yard together with Xu Que, since she thought it was mortifying.
Seeing others' facial expression, Liu Jingning immediately knew Xu Que had got himself into trouble again.
"Little Que Que, can't you just behave yourself even for just a minute?!"
Liu Jingning sent a voice message to Xu Que.
Xu Que stared at Liu Jingning and said.
"Nonsense! I haven't got myself into any trouble, I was simply giving them a great show!"
…
At this moment, a young girl wearing extravagant costume came forward and smiled.
"The stone-cutting convention is about to start, please follow me!"
"Thank you!"
Xu Que answered politely.
Led by the young girl, Xu Que, Liu Jingning and Buttface were walking to a pavillion on the edge of the yard.
According to the rule of the stone-cutting convention, someone who was in the Infant Transformation Stage or came from an ordinary Family shall sit in the pavillion that was on the edge of the yard, and he would have to sit together with other three people.
When the three arrived at the pavillion, they found there were already a young man and a young woman sitting there. Both of them were in the Infant Transformation Stage and were elites.
When they saw Xu Que, their face immediately turned gloomy.
The young woman angrily scolded the young girl.
"Wait! Are you mad! Why on earth you brought these people here?! I can't possibly share a same pavilion with them!"
Hearing this, the young girl was embarrassed.
At this moment, there weren't many pavillions on the edge of the yard, and most of the pavilions had been occupied by three people or even five people.
There was only one pavilion that could accommodate Xu Que, Liu Jingning and Buttface.
"Miss Li, I am sorry…"
"Shut up! Although my Family is not one of great importance, still, I can't possibly sit together with these people! That's it!"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning and Buttface all looked at Xu Que and thought this happening was all due to Xu Que's bad fortune.
Xu Que was not angry at all, instead he smiled at the young girl and said.
"Don't worry, I am going to stay here and no one could ask me to leave! By the way, bring me some eels if you got any here, two eels will do."

576 Be Cultured and Polite
"Eels?" The maidservant was stunned. "My Lord, why do you need eels?"
"I will use them to stab people! I will sit here and stab anyone who dares defy me!" Xu Que smiled coldly. He thoughtfully considered the woman whose family name was Li, then sat opposite her.
Apparently, he'd decided to confront her directly.
Hearing his words, everyone instantly became speechless.
Does he want to stab others with eels? What kind of thought process is that? I've never of someone being stabbed to death by an eel!
Of course, they hadn't heard of it before. If they had heard of it, the woman whose family name was Li might have gone mad on the spot!
The maidservant thought Xu Que was kidding, so she didn't take it seriously and left after laughing lamely. However, the woman whose family name was Li was still quite angry about Xu Que's reaction.
Identity and status were highly regarded in the World of Cultivators. She was self-assured for coming from the Li Family, which was quite famous in the East Continent—although it was not as famous as those big families like the Jiang Family and the Gong Family.
Now an unknown young sovereign dared to confront her in public! How could she diffuse her anger? If she did nothing, the Li Family would be looked down upon by other big families participating in the event!
"Behave yourself!" The Li woman slapped the stone table with her hand. The stone table was still intact, but all the blue and white porcelain tea sets on the table were smashed.
"Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you sit here? I give you a time of three breaths, you just get out with your dog!" the Li woman shouted peremptorily and ferociously, much too overbearing for a lady.
Liu Jingning's face darkened immediately. She looked at the Li woman coldly, her eyes full of killing intent. However, she didn't expose her cultivation level at the Void Training Stage. After all, there were too many powerhouses in this area. If she wasn't careful, she would be detected by others instantly.
However, Buttface lost his temper first. He angrily yelled, "F*ck you! Open your eyes and watch me closely. I'm a wolf!"
He attracted the attention of everyone in the area with his yelling.
What a ferocious dog it is!
The powerhouses at the Void Training Stage in the central area just glanced at them, then they continued to chat joyfully as if nothing had happened.
After all, the quarreling among the juniors was nothing for them!
It seemed there was no rules in the Stone-Cutting Convention. Quarreling was not forbidden. However, fighting was prohibited, and the violators would be punished.
Instead of getting a reply from Xu Que, the Li woman had been cursed by a dog, which flew her into a rage out of humiliation. Weren't they suggesting that the heiress of the Li family could only talk to a dog!
She could not start a fight because of the rules of the Stone-Cutting Convention. Therefore, all she could do was coldly stare at Xu Que.
However, the silent man beside the Li woman of the Li Family suddenly said, "Yan'er, you will only degrade yourself by talking with them! The Stone-Cutting Convention is about to commence, stop making trouble!"
"Hum!" Li Yan'er snorted. "When the convention is finished, you will know you have bitten off more than you can chew!" She stopped expelling Xu Que.
However, at this moment, Xu Que squinted his eyes. "Who said we have bitten off more than we can chew?" he asked vaguely. "Buttface, are you hungry?"
"Yes!" Hearing that, Buttface immediately became energetic and stuck out his tongue.
"Let's set up the pot!" Xu Que waved his hand, then he took out several items from the System Package and placed them on the stone table. The stone table was instantly occupied by a charcoal stove, an iron pot and oil.
Liu Jingning's eyes widened. What is this little brat going to do? Is he going to cook something here?
This was the Stone-Cutting Convention! How could he cook food in front of powerhouses from so many big sects and families?
How embarrassing this would be!
However, for an old driver like Xu Que, he was so thick-skinned that he could ignore the embarrassment.
After all, being shameless was the absolute best principle in these days.
When you were abused by others for being shameless, you could just confirm that you were indeed shameless, and, so what? Then this person could do nothing except fight you.
Therefore, before the surprised eyes of the onlookers, Xu Que continued to heat the pot until the oil boiled.
With a gloomy face, the Li woman stood on guard against Xu Que for fear that he might throw the pot with the boiling oil at her.
Xu Que smiled coldly as if he'd seen through the woman's mind. "Why are you on guard against me? Why are you here if you're so cowardly? You thought I would pour the oil on you, right? Let me tell you: all members of our Exploding Heavens Faction are virtuous elites who can recite the Eight Honors and Eight Shames fluently. We are cultured and polite. Why would I do that?"
As he spoke, he took out a bag of smelly tofu. Then he threw it all into the pot.
Chi!
Suddenly, the oil in the pot started to boil. Dozens of pieces of smelly tofu simmered in the hot oil and released a lot of hot gas. A stench gushed out instantly and permeated the whole area.
The woman of the Li Family and Liu Jingning were in the same pavilion as Xu Que, and they were immediately dumbfounded.
"What the hell is that?"
"Sh*t, what is this smell?"
"Whose crap is so stinky?"
"Who is crapping in public? This is outrageous!"
All at once, the Stone-Cutting Convention, which had been elegant and quiet, was a mess!
Many young sovereigns were cursing and covering their noses. The elders at the Void Training Stage were quite unhappy and knitted their brows.
Soon, people focused their eyes on the area where Xu Que was in. They realized that the horrible stench was coming from the pot in front of Xu Que!
"My Lord, what are you doing?" The sovereign in the pavilion next to Xu Que's couldn't take it anymore.
"Why are you poisoning us?"
"You could solve the conflict with the Li family privately. It is really unnecessary to do such an absurd thing here!"
"Right! This is the Stone-Cutting Convention. Why are you boiling crap here?"
More and more sovereigns started to express their dissatisfaction and anger toward Xu Que. This guy had just said he was cultured and polite. No one expected he would start to behave absurdly by boiling crap.
Even worse, someone saw him take the bag of crap out from his pocket!
This is insane!
What a maniac!
Who could put a bag of crap in his pocket?
Liu Jingning was almost about to spit blood. Although she had concealed her identity through disguise, she couldn't help flushing, and she even planned to hide herself in a crevice in the ground. It was too shameful!
The Li woman and the man beside her were even more shocked. Their eyes widened. They hadn't expected Xu Que to behave like this, which was unexpectedly gross and abnormal .
However, Xu Que and Buttface were so shameless that they just ignored the gazes and words of everyone!
Even worse, both of them took a pair of long chopsticks and stared into the pot expectantly. They started stirring the pot!
"Are they cooked enough?" Buttface asked anxiously.
Xu Que shook his head. "Not yet, wait a minute!"
"I think they are well cooked now!"
"Just wait!"
"Till when? I can't wait anymore!"
"What's the rush? Let me try one first!" Xu Que picked up a piece of black smelly tofu as he spoke.
Before the frightened eyes of the onlookers, he opened his mouth and bit the smelly tofu with his face full of sweet happiness.
All at once, all onlookers went nuts!

577 he really ate i
No one in the huge yard made a sound.
People playing the Chinese zither and flute also stopped making noise.
After seeing Xu Que swallow those black, oily things, their minds all went blank.
My god! He ate it! He really ate it!
My eyes must be deceiving me! That young man cooked a pot of sh*t and ate it?!
"Xu Que, leave some for me!"
Buttface quickly put some black stinky tofu in his mouth and ate it.
Seeing this, everyone present was greatly shocked. They could not understand the happy looks on their faces.
The young woman with the surname Li could no longer stand it and began to retch, but nothing came out of her mouth.
Since she stood right next to Xu Que the stinky smell almost "killed" her, so she quickly stood up and left the pavilion with her face as white as a sheet.
Liu Jingning was stunned. She also knew Xu Que's character, however, and that he could not possibly eat sh*t. This made her feel a bit relieved.
Normally, for someone who had not experienced the smell of Stinky tofu, the idea of sh*t immediately came to their mind once they smelled it, and all their senses became magnified and extremely sensitive.
Also, for ordinary people who feared to walk alone in the darkness, whenever they encountered something they could not understand they blamed it on an evil spirit.
Even if no one present was ordinary at all, they still could not get away from this mind trap of ordinary men.
Liu Jingning could no longer suppress her curiosity. "Little Que Que, you…"
Xu Que quickly handed one piece of Stinky tofu to her and said, "Come and have a taste."
"What!" Liu Jingning was terrified and quickly backed off.
Seeing this, people became disgusted again.
This young man is crazy! He even wants to ask others to eat sh*t with him!
I never thought I would meet someone of this sort in this life. How terrifying!
"You can eat it all if you like," Liu Jingning said. "Please spare me of this!"
Xu Que rolled his eyes. "Look at you! There's nothing to be afraid of! This is called 'Stinky tofu.' It will help enhance your Soul Strength!'
Stinky tofu?
Liu Jingning was shocked and so was everyone else. Hearing this, they all began to carefully look at the things in the pot and found they indeed looked like tofu.
However, they still could not believe the stinky tofu was really edible, let alone its ability to enhance one's soul strength.
This is just impossible!
Liu Jingning still didn't believe Xu Que, and she didn't dare taste it.
What if he's lying to me? What if he really likes eating sh*t?
Some men of great importance became interested and felt it was worth a try. But, of course, they would not taste it by themselves.
"You!" An old man of the Void Training Stage pointed to a male servant. "Go and taste one piece of that stuff, and I'll reward you with a great prize later!" This old man was of very high status, so all the male servants and maids dared not contradict him.
The male servant was terrified. Spineless, he approached Xu Que. "Can you… can you give me a piece of Stinky tofu?"
"Man up! This is good stuff!" Xu Que happily gave one piece of Stinky tofu to him.
The male servant trembled and gently opened his mouth and swallowed the tofu with his eyes tightly closed. The Stinky tofu broke inside his mouth and the delicious soup came out. The smelly smell was gone and was replaced by some fragrant smell.
"This… this is…" The male servant was so surprised that his eyes were wide open/ He could feel that his soul strength had been enhanced.
"How does it taste?!" the old man asked hurriedly.
"My lord, it tastes much sweeter than ordinary tofu and is really delicious!" the male servant said happily. "I can feel my soul strength has been enhanced." Then he turned around and expressed his gratitude to Xu Que. "Thank you so much!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
So that black and oily thing is not sh*t, but tofu?! Really?! It can also enhance one's soul strength?
"This is impossible!" Liu Jingning exclaimed. She had never heard of this type of tofu with such magical power.
The next moment, everyone become desperate to taste the tofu.
"Young man, would you mind giving me one piece?" The old man who just sent the male servant to taste the tofu was the first one to made the move.
The powerful man from the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect said, "Young man, I also want to have a bite of it."
The strong man of the The Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect said, "So do I! I can give you a piece of ancient stone as a present!"
The man from the Gong Family said, "I want the rest of the tofu! If you give all of it to me, I will give you a magic weapon of six stars!"
"Young man," the man from the Bai Family said, "I will give you one of the seven stars if you give the rest of the tofu to me!"
Everyone had changed their tune and now believed in the magic power of the Stinky tofu.
Xu Que raised up the pot and banged on it. "Quiet! Quiet! Quiet please!" he shouted.
Seeing this, everyone shut up and looked at Xu Que.
Xu Que smiled. "I have a good news for you all," he shouted. "Today is a great day of discount! Just a few days ago, one piece of stinky tofu would have cost you 6,000 Spiritual Stones of top quality, while today one piece will only cost you 998 Spiritual Stones of top quality! Only nine hundred ninety eight!"

578 Competition
Nine hundred ninety eight?
The price for a piece of smelly tofu is 998 high quality Spirit Stones?
That's nothing short of robbery!
All at once, the powerhouses of the big sects and families became speechless and stared at Xu Que in confusion.
The sovereigns were dumbfounded. None of them expected this guy to be bold enough to offer such a high price in front of powerhouses of the big sects and families!
He's just robbing us!
The area fell into an awkward silence. Liu Jingning' s eyelids were twitching because even she wanted to beat Xu Que up.
Couldn't he live one day without causing trouble?
What he had was just some smelly tofu! Everyone who had just spoken to him was big shot!
If he could give them one or two pieces of smelly tofu for free he might leave good impression them, which could facilitate his future in the East Continent. This was absolutely worth the smelly tofu, and anyone in his position would know what to do.
However, this guy was unconventional enough that he dared cheat the powerhouses at the Void Training Stage! He must be tired of life!
"Hey, little brat, the smelly tofu is even more delicious than before! And the effect is even more extraordinary!" Buttface, who had swallowed several pieces of smelly tofu spoke suddenly, for he had belatedly sensed the smelly tofu was more delicious than before .
Xu Que smiled but didn't say a word. After his Chef Identity level had been enhanced, the smelly tofu prepared by him was certainly more delicious and powerful than before. And the enhancement effect on Soul Strength was increased from one percent to ten percent.
Ten percent enhancement of Soul Strength was nothing for cultivators at low cultivation levels. However, it couldn't be overlooked for cultivators at the Original Infant Stage or high stages. The higher the cultivator's level was, the more the cultivator would benefit from the smelly tofu!
However, the only shortcoming for this enhanced smelly tofu was that one person could only have it once in his or her life, and the enhancement effect would not superimpose itself if one ate the smelly tofu several times.
That was also the reason Xu Que dared sell it. If the smelly tofu could infinitely enhance Soul Strength, he would have eaten it every day.
"Hum! Young man, isn't your price too high?" an old man asked with a gloomy face asked in a way suggesting he wanted to warn Xu Que.
"The price is too high!" an old lady agree. "It's true the waiter enhanced his Soul Strength after eating the smelly tofu. However, for cultivators like us, this enhancement is almost nothing!"
The rest of the big shots nodded one after another.
They could sense the enhancement of that waiter's Soul Strength. As a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, the waiter enhanced his Soul Strength, but the enhancement was almost negligible for powerhouses like the old lady.
What interested them were the ingredients. If they worked them out, then they could make the smelly tofu by themselves and greatly enhance their Soul Strengths by eating the smelly tofu every day.
However, Xu Que just ignored their comments and continued to shout, "The last four pieces! The last four pieces in this pot! And the price for each is 998! Nine hundred ninety eight! It's cheap and good! Don't miss it!"
All the onlookers immediately became sheepish!
This guy is really going to make trouble! How can he keep shouting and ignore the comments of the two powerhouses?
But the real effect of Xu Que's smelly tofu had gone far beyond their imagination! Ten percent enhancement of Soul Strength was indeed nothing for cultivators at the Golden Core Stage! What they didn't expect was that the enhancement effect was same for each cultivation level!
However, the percentage was a relative value. If a cultivator at the Infant Transformation Stage ate the smelly tofu, his ten percent enhancement of Soul Strength was almost identical with the total Soul Strength of thousands of cultivators at the Golden Core Stage!
"My young friend," another man said, "could you stop peddling for a moment? I want to talk with you!" This old man was quite different from the others. His tone was very gentle and he had a benevolent countenance.
Liu Jingning told Xu Que by delivering a message that this old man was Elder Feng Wudao of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect, who was much revered in the East Continent. She reminded Xu Que to watch his mouth to avoid offending Elder Feng.
Xu Que was a man who believed in first impressions. This old man was the only one who appeared nice among so many aggressive onlookers, which made Xu Que feel good. Although his behavior at the Bright Moon Hotel had offended the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect, it wouldn't prevent him from acting tough and cheating others.
Immediately, Xu Que smiled at the old man and said, "Sir, what do you want to talk about?"
"I have a pill which can enhance Soul Strength. It is called the 'Soul Coagulation Pill!'"
Feng Wudao took out a pill with a faint smile. "After the waiter took your smelly tofu, the enhancement effect he experienced on his Soul Strength was almost identical to the effect of this pill. However, the price of this Soul Coagulation Pill is about 300 high-grade Spirit Stones or three high quality Spirit Stones. Your smelly tofu is just a kind of food, so its cost shouldn't be very high, but your price is hundreds of times more expensive than the Soul Coagulation Pill. Isn't it too high?"
Feng Wudao said exactly what the rest of the onlookers were thinking.
The effect of a piece of smelly tofu was identical with that of a Soul Coagulation Pill. Why did Xu Que sell it at such a high price?
The reason that these people were interested in the smelly tofu was that they thought the cost of the smelly tofu would be lower than that of the Soul Coagulation Pill. Therefore, they just wanted to try it to research the ingredients of the smelly tofu.
But they didn't expect Xu Que to open his mouth wide enough to offer such a high price!
Xu Que smiled again. "If I say my smelly tofu can instantly enhance the eater's Soul Strength by ten percent, is the price still too high for you?"
What?
Enhance the Soul Strength by ten percent?
All of a sudden, the onlookers eyes widened with disbelief.
No one here was a fool. They understood the meaning of a ten percent enhancement of Soul Strength. For cultivators at low cultivation levels, it was nothing. As for powerhouses like them, they couldn't realize a ten percent enhancement of Soul Strength even they ate 10,000 Soul Coagulation Pills!
Moreover, when a cultivator kept eating pills, the pills would eventually cease being effective. Also, a lot of time would be consumed in refining pills. However, the smelly tofu could enhance Soul Strength by ten percent instantly!
Through comparison, the value of the smelly tofu was really unimaginable!
However, is the smelly tofu really so powerful?
Many people were suspicious and thought that what Xu Que said was unbelievable. After all, the effect was way too amazing!
"My young friend, what you say . . . is for real?" Feng Wudao asked excitedly.
He trusted his judgement. It seemed this young sovereign in front of him was not lying, for he had seen the calm and self-confidence in his eyes unusual to his peers.
"An honest man doesn't act tough underhand. If you doubt its effect, why don't you just buy one to check?" Xu Que smiled as if he was joking. His frivolousness made people believe he was teasing those big shots.
However, Feng Wudao took out 1,000 high quality Spirit Stones by waving his hand without any hesitation, then he said, "My young friend, I will buy one to check its effect!" Of course, if Xu Que were lying to him, he was confident enough to punish him on the spot.
Hearing his words, a waiter came to Xu Que with a jade plate in his hand. Xu Que took out a piece of smelly tofu from the pot and put it into the jade plate, then he received the 1,000 high quality Spirit Stones.
Seeing his first huge income here, Xu Que smiled.
On the other side, Feng Wudao put that smelly tofu into his mouth before the expectant eyes of the onlookers.
Although he frowned at the stench, he found it was indeed delicious.
The next moment, Feng Wudao felt a roar in his brain and his body vibrated a bit.
Boom!
All at once, his Soul Strength was really enhanced by ten percent!
"This…" Feng Wudao was shocked. Even though he now believed Xu Que was not lying, he was still terrified after experiencing the ten percent enhancement of his Soul Strength!
The other powerhouses at the Void Training Stage couldn't keep their seats anymore!
All of them clearly sensed the enhancement of Feng Wudao's Soul Strength, which proved the effect of the smelly tofu.
"My young friend, I will also buy one piece!" the Elder of the Gong Family said first.
Immediately after that, the Elder of the Jiang Family shouted, "Young man, I will also buy one!"
Soon, other big shots participated in the panicked buying.
"My young friend, I have 3,000 high quality Spirit Stones, please sell three pieces to the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect!"
"Hum! The Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect is too greedy! There are only three pieces left, how could you buy them all? My young friend, the Bai Family will buy these three pieces of smelly tofu with 4,000 high quality Spirit Stones!"
"Heh-heh, does the Bai Family think only they can afford that price? I will buy them for 5,000 high quality Spirit Stones!"
"Hum! Here are 6,000 high quality Spirit Stones!"
"I will buy them using 8,000 high quality Spirit Stones!"

579 Uncontrollable Situation
Suddenly, everyone began asking for the stinky tofu, offering high prices. All the important figures were trying to get the tofu by bidding as if they were at an auction. Those who were short-tempered were almost ready to fight.
All the young elites present were shocked by the magic power of the tofu and wanted the opportunity to eat some. However, they could not possibly compete with the important figures present, both in terms of strength and money.
Xu Que was very calm, and had already expected this would happen. He sat aside and watched people bid.
Liu Jingning sent a voice message to him.
"Nice play!"
Xu Que smiled. "Thanks for the compliment!"
"I've been your protégé, so I think I deserve at least one piece of stinky tofu." Even she could no longer resist the temptation of magic power from the tofu, and she thought Xu Que would be very happy to give her one piece for free. After all, he had handed one to her earlier, it was just that she hadn't accepted it.
Xu Que muttered something.
"What? I did not hear you quite clearly!"
"You . . . "
The smile on Liu Jingning's face froze; she felt angry when glancing over at Xu Que's face and realized that he'd made her angry on purpose.
Soon, the important figures had already raised the price up to tens of thousands of Spiritual Stones.
But compared with the magic power of the stinky tofu, the Spiritual Stones were not that important anymore.
At last, the Elder from the Jiang family gave the highest price: 5,000 Spiritual Stones for one piece of stinky tofu.
Others became very jealous about this, but they could do nothing since it was their own fault for being unable to give a higher price. They had just come to this stone-cutting convention on behalf of their family and could only use a limited amount of Spiritual Stones. Besides, they had never imagined the stone-cutting convention would turn into a stinky tofu auction.
"Young man!" the strong man from the Gong Family suddenly said. "I will also buy one piece of stinky tofu with 5,000 high quality Spiritual Stones!"
Xu Que was very happy to hear this. He quickly gave one piece of tofu to each of them and received 10,000 high quality Spiritual Stones.
Seeing this, Liu Jingning was stunned. Although 10,000 high quality Spiritual Stones was not a big deal for her, she had never seen anyone make such a huge amount of money in such a short period of time.
Xu Que put the high quality Spiritual Stones into his storage ring. "There is only one piece of tofu here in the pot. Does anyone else want it? If not, I will eat it myself!"
What?! You ate so many pieces earlier, you still want another piece?! Wait a moment, why on earth has your soul strength not been enhanced more? After all, you ate so many of them earlier.
Realizing this, Feng Wudao asked, "Young man, is it possible that the tofu only works the first time someone eats it?"
Xu Que nodded. "You are right! It only works once. It will not do you any good later, no matter how many you eat!"
Even so, people still admired the magic power of the stinky tofu and thought it quite normal. If the tofu worked every time someone ate it, anyone could become powerful simply by eating a few hundred pieces.
"So no one wants it? Fine, I will eat it then!"
Xu Que was about to put it in his mouth.
Seeing this, people got rather anxious.
You just said that it won't do you any good if you've already eaten it once. Why are you going to eat it if you know it won't do you any good?
"Young man," an Elder said, "I am sorry to tell you that I only have 3,000 high quality Spiritual Stones. Can I have the last piece of tofu and give you the rest of them once the stone-cutting convention is over?"
Xu Que blinked. "Of course you can! But you need to write me an IOU!"
In fact, everyone present had plenty of Spiritual Stones. The reason they didn't dare spend too many was that they needed to buy some ancient stones. But now that Xu Que said someone could have the last piece of stinky tofu under the condition that he wrote Xu Que an IOU, everyone became excited again.
"Young man, I also have 3,000 high quality Spiritual Stones, and I can write you an IOU of another 3,000!"
"I will buy it with 7,000 high quality Spiritual Stones!"
"Young man! Don't buy their words! What if they change their mind after they get the stones? I have 4,000 high quality Spiritual Stones here, and I can give you a bottle of Jiu Zhuan Golden Black Pills worth 1,000 high quality Spiritual Stones!"
Suddenly, a few old men got into a quarrel.
"Nonsense! Who said I would change my mind?!"
"I was simply telling the truth!"
"When the stone-cutting convention is over, stay here and I will come for you!"
"I'm not afraid of you at all!"
Seeing this, the two Elders from the Jiang Family and the Gong Family respectively sneered and felt happy that they had brought enough stones with themselves. After hearing what Xu Que had said, they also became interested.
Although the tofu would not do them any good, still, it would do great good to the people who were at even higher stages than they were back in the family.
"I will write you an IOU of 10,000 high quality Spiritual Stones," the Elder of the Jiang Family said, "and I will let you pick an ancient stone for free later, as long as you give me the last piece of stinky tofu!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Picking an ancient stone for free?! You know all the stones were carried from the Heaven Dragon Cave!
Even the Elder from the Gong family was stunned and never expected the Elder from the Jiang family to be so generous. "Young man!" he said. "I'll also write you an IOU of 10,000 high quality Spiritual Stones, and I will let you pick two ancient stones for free later!"
Hearing this, the Elder from the Jiang Family became angry.
"Three ancient stones!"
"Four!"
Hearing this, people were shocked again.
What on earth is going on?! I can't possibly believe this!
Everyone present knew the relationship between the two families was a rather delicate one. They had competed and cooperated with each other in the past. Recently, the two families were trying to connect through marriage. The stone-cutting convention was also proof of their intentions of mending the bridge between them.
However, their relationship was about to crumble simply because of a piece of stinky tofu.
"Five!" the Elder of the Jiang Family said.
"Six!" the Elder of the Gong Family said.
"Seven!"
"Eight!"
Clearly, something had happened between the two old men. Otherwise, they would not be willing to destroy the relationship between the two families.
At last, the Elder from the Jiang family got the last piece of stinky tofu with the condition of an IOU of 10,000 high quality Spiritual Stones and picking ten ancient stones for free.
The face of the Elder of the Gong Family grew dark. He meant to give a higher price but stopped when a man whispered to him.
Xu Que took the IOU with great satisfaction.
Then, he took out another bag of stinky tofu and poured it into his pot.
Everyone was speechless.
"I am very happy to tell you that those who didn't get any tofu can buy some now! Each piece of stinky tofu costs only nine hundred and ninety eight high quality Spiritual Stones."

580 Is Something Wrong?
The whole area fell silent all at once.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Damn! How could he still have more smelly tofu?
He really has more! He still has a big bag of smelly tofu!
The powerhouses of the Jiang and Gong families felt the blow in their heads and everything went black. Xu Que's words almost made them tremble with rage!
The powerhouses of the other big families and sects also became enraged.
Sh*t! Why didn't you tell us you still had a big bag of smelly tofu?
Just now we became so competitive that some of us were about to fight each other!
Damn! This is so annoying!
The young sovereigns in the area were also confused. None of them expected this guy would dare tease those big shots like this. The powerhouses tried their hardest to get the smelly tofu. Some of them had even been ready to start a fight. They were like monkeys the way they were teased by that guy!
Sh*t! He's really mean!
"Hum! What a bunch of fools they are!" Buttface proudly mocked everyone with joy as if he had seen through everything.
Liu Jingning was also shocked. When she noticed that Xu Que was still peddling as he prepared the smelly tofu in the pot, she almost burst into laughter. Luckily, her mind told her it was absolutely not a good time to laugh, and she held it in.
This little brat is really tricky! He cheated all of them
"My young friend!" the powerhouse of the Jiang family said angrily. He was so annoyed that he was about to spit blood! Grinding his teeth, he said, "What do you mean? Why didn't you tell us you still had so much smelly tofu?"
"Ah?" Xu Que acted stunned and pretended he couldn't understand the question.
"I said," the Elder of the Jiang family said angrily, "why didn't you tell us you had so much smelly tofu? Didn't you say that was the last piece?" This man couldn't suppress his anger anymore. He had thought that it was the last piece of the smelly tofu. When a thing was rare, it became precious! Therefore, he had deemed it worthwhile to buy it using 10,000 high quality Spirit Stones and ten ancient stones found in the outskirts of the Heaven Dragon Cave!
But it turned out this guy still had a ton of smelly tofu. His decision had caused a great loss to the Jiang Family!
Hearing this, Xu Que also suddenly became angry. "You didn't ask me! I said it was the last piece in the pot! If you had asked me if I had more, I would have definitely told you I had more! My God! I thought you knew that, so I didn't mention it. So, what's wrong?"
The Elder of the Jiang Family burst with anger—he was about to spit blood!
What's wrong?
Damn! How does this guy have the nerve to ask what's wrong?
You really can't tell what's wrong?
Something big is wrong!
I paid a huge amount for the last piece of smelly tofu in the pot, even at the expense of picking a fight with the Gong Family!
Now you take out more smelly tofu and ask me what's wrong!
The Elder of the Gong family's face also darkened. Actually, the Gong Family was also suffering a loss here. Although their loss was not as serious as that of the Jiang Family, they had still bought a piece of smelly tofu with 5,000 high quality Spirit Stones!
Now, this guy had taken out more smelly tofu and wanted to sell them for 998 Best-grade Spirit Stone!
"My young friend," the Elder of the Gong Family said coldly, "the price for one piece of smelly tofu is now 998 high quality Spirit Stones, but we just paid 5,000 high quality Spirit Stones for one piece. Please give us an explanation!"
Xu Que's eyes widened. "Holy sh*t! You can ask everyone else here: did I ever increase the price myself? You said you would buy it with 5,000 high quality Spirit Stones! Now are you going to go back on your word?"
The Elders of the Jiang Family and the Gong Family couldn't stop the corners of their lips from twitching. Their incredible anxiety nearly caused them to slap themselves in the face! Why had they been so eager to raise the price?
"I dare tell you that all business between our Exploding Heavens Faction and our customers is voluntary. Since you want to go back on your word, fine! Just return the smelly tofu to me, and I will refund you immediately!" Xu Que acted even angrier than the two men, as if he had suffered the loss.
Hearing that, the eyes of the Elders of the Jiang and Gong families lit up immediately. They definitely planned to ask for a refund! After all, after buying the last three pieces of the smelly tofu, they were unwilling to eat them for they were too precious!
Seeing the two old men's reaction, Xu Que quickly said, "However, if our goods have been received by the buyer, we do not give refunds. You may have spit or crapped in them—who knows!"
What?
The elders' eyes widened immediately.
Why would we spit or crap in the smelly tofu?
Only a fool would do that! We bought it to eat! How could we do disgusting things like that?
The onlookers also wore darkened expressions
If you don't do refunds, you could just say it! Why would you use such a gross excuse? There is no sophisticated content in it at all! You could learn from the author of this novel who always finds fresh and refined excuses for his delays in submitting new chapters!
Now, the Elders of the Jiang Gong families really had no options.
After all, they had bought the smelly tofu voluntarily. Xu Que hadn't raised the price himself once. The price had been raised by them and the rest of the onlookers!
Now they had the smelly tofu. As members of the revered families in the East Continent, they couldn't force Xu Que to accept the refund in front of so many people!
Therefore, it turned out to be that Feng Wudao, the powerhouse of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect, who was the first buyer, won in this transaction by safely getting a piece of smelly tofu with just 1,000 high quality Spirit Stones.
Feng Wudao couldn't help exclaiming in his heart, Luckily, I was so smart and bold. Otherwise, I would have also been cheated!
At this moment, Xu Que was still pretending to be angry as if he had been greatly wronged. He looked at Feng Wudao and said, "Sir, could you please tell me what should I do about this? I am desperate!"
Feng Wudao couldn't help the corner of his lips twitching .
Everyone else felt totally embarrassed.
Damn! How could you be so desperate?
You have earned so many Spirit Stones–just stop pretending to be desperate!
"Ahem! My young friend, don't be mischievous anymore!" The Elder of the Jiang Family cleared his throat and spoke in a low voice. "This issue ends here. The Jiang Family won't ask for a refund!"
The powerhouse of the Gong Family also said he wouldn't ask for a refund.
If Xu Que kept shouting like this, the reputation of the two families would be impaired. And even though today they had been cheated, they still had chances to seek revenge in the future. They had plenty of time to do that.
"No refund? Okay! Everyone has witnessed that I have given you the chance to ask for a refund!" Xu Que smiled splendidly. As a man who was faster than anyone in changing expression, he continued to peddle. "Hey, take your time and look around! You could get one piece of freshly-cooked smelly tofu of the Exploding Heavens Faction by spending only 998 high quality Spirit Stones!"
"My young friend, the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect will buy one piece!" Feng Wudao said immediately.
In fact, he also wanted to buy more. However, it would result in uneven distribution again, and the buyer would raise the price like before, which was not something he wanted to see again.
The rest of the powerhouses also bought one piece of smelly tofu respectively and didn't ask for more.
At last, almost each of the big families and sects got one piece of smelly tofu. Even the Jiang family and the Gong family had the cheek to buy one more piece respectively.
It was a bumper harvest for Xu Que, who earned around 50,000 high quality Spirit Stones and ten ancient stones with just two bags of the smelly tofu!
He thought he could absolutely set up a Wanda Mall in the East Continent in case he was short on Spirit Stones in the future!
Except for the Jiang Family and the Gong Family, most the big shots were satisfied with this harmonious result.
After that, under the command of the powerhouses of the Jiang Family and the Gong Family, the Stone-Cutting Convention finally commenced.
"Welcome to the Stone-Cutting Convention. It's late now, so I will get straight to the point. Now bring all ancient stones here! You could choose ancient stones freely. The price for each ancient stone is 1,000 high quality Spirit Stones. In case one ancient stone is selected by several buyers, the one who offers the highest price gets it!"
"Wait!" Suddenly, Xu Que raised his hand and shouted loudly, "I will buy all the ancient stones in this Stone-Cutting Convention! All of you can go back to bed now."
Clatter!
After saying that, Xu Que took out all the Spirit Stones he earned just now, which instantly cluttered the entire pavilion.

581 Peculiar Ancient Stones
Xu Que's voice echoed throughout the yard.
Hearing his words, everyone present was completely stunned.
This young man must be nuts! He's simply trying to turn the Stone-Cutting Convention into a mess! No one should be like this!
Liu Jingning pulled Xu Que's sleeve a bit and spoke to him with a rather serious face. "Xu Que, do you have any idea what you're saying?! You can't possibly buy off all the ancient stones!"
The two Elders from the Jiang and Gong families were surprised and looked at the strange young man standing in front of them.
In the Cultivation World, there weren't that many extremely influential families, but both the Jiang and the Gong family were part of the few. Even so, neither of the two families dared call themselves the "Big Brother." They were still not powerful enough to control the entire Eastern Continent.
That was why neither of the two families dared take all the ancient stones themselves after they had been dug out from the outskirts of the Heaven Dragon Cave.: in case other families in the continent condemned them harshly.
Therefore, the two families had decided to take some of the stones and hold this Stone-Cutting Convention . On the one hand, they could comfort other families. On the other hand, they themselves would get many Spiritual Stones in return.
They had never predicted Xu Que would want to buy off all the ancient stones . . .
Someone shook his head and sneered, "You're being too naive, young man!"
"You think it's quite something for you to get that amount of Spiritual Stones, don't you? Be careful—your ambition might bring you back down!"
"Things are getting more and more interesting!"
Many young elites sneered at Xu Que.
All the other powerful men from other influential families frowned as they were a bit upset. Even though they had just bought the stinky tofu from Xu Que, his buying off all the ancient stones would most certainly destroy their interests and goals.
"Young man, you can't buy off all the ancient stones!" Feng Wudao said.
After all, the Stone-Cutting Convention was not just a convention, it had a lot to do with all the big families' interests. Therefore, Feng Wudao didn't say too much—just in case other people thought he was on Xu Que's side.
Xu Que smiled. "Why can't I? Because I'm handsome and rich? You think that's my fault?"
Hearing this, Feng Wudao shook his head and did not answer.
Liu Jingning sent him a voice message. "Xu Que, pick up all the Spiritual Stones!"
"Don't be such a coward! I know what I'm doing. Besides, I don't intend to have all the ancient stones myself."
Knowing this, Liu Jingning was a bit relieved. But still, she was very worried.
The Elder from the Jiang family smiled at Xu Que. "Young man, are you sure you want to buy off all the ancient stones?"
"Of course! But it seems that no one else wants me to!" Xu Que joked.
The Elder from the Jiang family smiled. "You are funny! If you really want to, no one here will stop you!"
"Never mind!" Xu Que said. "I'm not a greedy person and I don't know much about stone-cutting. I don't want to get into a conflict with any of you."
"So you mean you're not going to buy all the stones?!"
"Yes! I will just buy a few stones later. But you must give me ten ancient stones for free as you have promised!"
"Of course!" The Elder from the Jiang Family smiled. Then he looked at the rest of people and said, "If you all don't mind, why not let this young man choose ten ancient stones first?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
After all, compared with the huge amount of ancient stones lying on the ground, ten ancient stones was nothing. Besides, they all believed Xu Que couldn't possibly pick out a good one, since stone-cutting relied not only on luck, but experience.
Then, the Elder from the Jiang Family looked at Xu Que and said, "Young man, please!"
"Great!" Xu Que answered, and he jumped into the center of the yard.
The servants had already laid out many stones on the ground. Each of them had a very strange form. For example, one was as small as a ball, one was bigger than a man, and so on. Also, all the stones were simultaneously giving out a strange energy.
"This is quite something!" Xu Que exclaimed. Standing in front of the pile of ancient stones, he felt as if he were standing in a dead land and felt rather uncomfortable.
Xu Que summoned the System and took the X-ray machine out of it. He held it and started to scan the ancient stones.
Seeing this, everyone frowned.
"What is he doing?!"
"What is the thing in his palm? I don't think it's a magic object, and why on earth it is giving out a red light?"
"He is just putting on a show! Stone-cutting requires good eyes and experience. Does he really think he can see through the stone with that object?"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
"Haha!"
"Ha!"
"Hahaha!"
In fact, with the help of the X-ray machine, Xu Que indeed saw through the stone.
The X-ray perspective machine projected the image of the inside of the stone onto the screen of the System, and Xu Que saw it.
However, Xu Que was shocked by what he saw: most of the ancient stones were just crap, and there was simply nothing inside. He also spot a stone in which there was a Elder's head. The Elder's eyes were closed tightly. It seemed that he had died a long time ago, but the skin and flesh on his head were still intact.
"Crikey! This is really terrifying!"
Xu Que was not that surprised by this scene, since in the Cultivation World, strange things happened everyday.
Xu Que then continue to examine other stones.
After a short while, he found a stone in which there was a piece of Dragon Soul Element. This made Xu Que rather excited.
After careful examination, Xu Que found that there were exactly twenty stones in which there were treasures, and including the one in which there was an Elder's head and the one in which there was a piece of Dragon Soul Element, there were twenty-two good stones. The rest were all crap!
"I have made up my mind! I want ten of these and twelve more of those . . . " Xu Que spoke after picking up the ten stones and pointing to the other twelve.

582 Anyway, I don“t Have a Hobby Like Tha
His words startled everyone in the area.
The Elder of the Jiang family was also puzzled. He looked at Xu Que confused, trying to confirm that the young man in front of him really knew nothing about stone-cutting.
One should choose the stone according its contour, color, and his or her experience. Even the most experienced people needed to be most scrupulous. It was quite normal to spend over two hours in choosing a stone.
However, Xu Que quickly picked out ten stones by glancing at them and scanning them with a strange item which could give out red light, which was too casual!
More to the point, the ten stones chosen by him casually were really mediocre! Many experienced experts of stone-cutting couldn't help shaking their heads.
"These ten stones are too shiny," an old man commented calmly. "Normally it is difficult to find precious items from these kind of stones!
"Right! Only the stones in deep colors contain precious items," another onlooker commented with a nod.
"Also, the contour and size are important. The ten stones he chose are quite peculiar. Generally speaking, the possibility of finding precious items in ancient stones with mediocre appearance is high!"
"Anyway, these ten stones are low quality ones among all ancient stones. He is too young to be adept at stone-cutting."
"This is good news for us! He has taken away some waste stones. The possibility for us to get better stones is higher!"
People couldn't help laughing when they talked about this issue.
For them, it it was good news when Xu Que didn't pick the stones deemed high quality by them.
The Elder of the Jiang family pondered a bit when he focused his eyes on Xu Que, then he said indifferently, "My young friend, you could buy as many ancient stones as you want without asking for permission from me!"
After choosing the ten stones, which looked quite lousy, Xu Que said he would buy another twelve ancient stones. For the Elder of the Jiang family and the rest of the onlookers, his decision was nothing less than a waste of Spirit Stones in stone-cutting, which he knew nothing about.
However, remembering that Xu Que's Spirit Stones were earned from them just now, the Elder of the Jiang family was no longer happy.
When Xu Que finished choosing the ten ancient stones, the big shots in the area began choosing stones. Even some young sovereigns started to eye the ancient stones carefully.
The Stone-Cutting Convention was commenced in this quiet way.
All participants were doing their best to choose the ancient stones freely. If one stone was chosen by two or more people, the one who offered the highest price won it.
However, after carrying the ten ancient stones to Liu Jingning, Xu Que returned quickly without saying a word. Then, he started to scan the stones with the X-ray machine again.
Soon, he picked out another twelve ancient stones. After looking at his selection, the onlookers soon lost their interest because their quality was still poor. Among these stones, one was quite large, and its quality was okay. However, most people had no interest in this stone and thought nothing valuable could be found from it.
Eventually, someone decided to make trouble for Xu Que. The woman of the Li family who had tried to drive Xu Que from the pavilion stepped out.
She pointed at one stone among the twelve with better quality and said coldly, "I also fancy that stone, and I offer 2,000 high quality Spirit Stones for it." She had doubled the price of the ancient stone.
Everyone was initially stunned,, but soon they felt relieved.
Although the Li Family was not a revered big family, it boasted strong assets. Moreover, people of the Li Family were quite gifted in stone-cutting. The young generation of the Li Family were especially famous for their outstanding luck and discriminability. The Li Family had just sent their sovereigns here, and their powerhouses at the Void Training Stage didn't participate in this event.
Immediately, people's attention was attracted by the mark-up of the woman of the Li Family.
Everyone focused on the stone picked by the woman among those twelve stones chosen by Xu Que. The stone became increasingly extraordinary as they watched it.
"It's odd! I first thought the quality of this stone was just okay. But now I've changed my mind."
"Exactly, this is not an illusion. I can sense a vague chillness in it."
"Could it be that something with supreme Yin is hidden in it? Could it be precious items like the Supreme Yin Chilly Jade?"
"It is highly possible! After all, these stones come from the Heaven Dragon Cave. After being honed over such a long time, these stones might really generate precious items like the Supreme Yin Chilly Jade!"
"This stone is well worth the risk!"
After their discussion, people abruptly made up their minds.
Xu Que didn't participate in the bidding; however, someone started the mark-up. "I offer 3,000 high quality Spirit Stones for this ancient stone!"
"I am also interested in it, and my offer is 4,000!"
"I will offer 6,000."
"Eight thousand!"
"The Bai Family offers 10,000 high quality Spirit Stones for it!"
"The Li Family offers 12,000!" the woman of the Li Family said. It seemed she was quite optimistic about that stone.
Xu Que was totally shocked. The price of a stone could increase to over 10,000 high quality Spirit Stones in such a short period of time!
These people were really gamblers who planned to waste their Spirit Stones today!
The reason that they hadn't spent much on the miraculous smelly tofu was that they wanted to use the Spirit Stones to compete for ancient stones.
After all, the rate of return of stone-cutting was very high!
Sometimes they could obtain precious items worth 100,000, or even 1,000,000, high quality Spirit Stones by only spending several thousand or 10,000 high quality Spirit Stones! Luck and discriminability were both crucial!
Therefore, the smelly tofu was nothing compared to the stone-cutting.
Finally, Xu Que didn't participate in the bidding. He took out the stone and gave it away with a smile.
The price of the stone kept increasing. After the woman of the Li Family offered 12,000 for it, someone else raised the price again. At last, the stone was obtained by the woman of the Li Family at the price of 20,000 high quality Spirit Stones!
People had evaluated the value of that stone. If the Supreme Yin Chilly Jade was really hidden in that stone, it was still profitable even the price had reached 20,000 high quality Spirit Stones!
However, if no Supreme Yin Chilly Jade was in the stone, it would be a great loss by spending 20,000 high quality Spirit Stones on it. The loss was more than they could afford. Therefore, most people gave up.
Finally, the woman of the Li Family fulfilled her wish by obtaining the stone.
Even more importantly, she took this stone from the hands of Xu Que, which gave her sense of accomplishment.
"Only the one who knows stone-cutting is entitled to own this stone!" After the payment, the woman of the Li Family laughed in a showy way and glanced at Xu Que.
Xu Que didn't reply but bought the remaining eleven ancient stones calmly with 11,000 high quality Spirit Stones.
The Elder of the Jiang family was in charge of collecting Spirit Stones from the buyers.
Xu Que scraped together the sum with the IOU of 10,000 high quality Spirit Stones and another 1,000 high quality Spirit Stones.
The Elder of the Jiang Family was disgusted by Xu Que's action, which reminded him of being cheated.
He wanted to seek revenge on Xu Que, so the Elder of the Jiang family spoke cynically after receiving the Spirit Stones and the IOU. "My young friend, the only stone of good quality you chose was robbed. Just don't regret it during the stone-cutting process later."
"Nothing will make me feel regret!" Xu Que replied with a faint smile. "Maybe she is just a fool or has some kind of peculiar hobby. She insisted on buying a dead man's head with 20,000 high quality Spirit Stones. Anyway, I don't have a hobby like that!" Then he walked to his pavilion carrying the eleven ancient stones.
The Elder of the Jiang Family was stunned. His eyebrows furrowed.
A dead man's head?
What does he mean?

583 Cutting The Ancient Stones
The ancient stone that impressed the young woman with the surname Li and the other important people was a stone in which there was an old man's head.
Xu Que was sure that the old man's head was nothing special. But, still—after all these years, it was strange that it was still intact. If it weren't for the young woman and the others, Xu Que would have happily bought and carefully examined it.
But when the young woman wanted to buy it with 20,000 Spiritual Stones of high quality, Xu Que immediately lost interest.
"Buying an dead old man's head with 20,000 high quality Spiritual Stones? I'm not stupid!" Xu Que joked.
Hearing this, people got curious and frowned.
What was he saying just now? Was he cursing or something? The young woman Li sneered.
"You know nothing about stone-cutting. You're just a fool and you have no right to judge."
"You'll see who the stupid one is when you cut the stone apart." Xu Que laughed, walking back to the pavilion with eleven ancient stones.
There were only twenty-two stones with treasures. Apart from the one bought by the young woman with the surname Li, Xu Que had gotten all of them—he had twenty-one stones.
The young woman was furious. "Give me my jade knife!" she said. "I'll show him what stone-cutting is!"
Xu Que paid no attention to her. He took out his X-ray machine and began to examine the stones.
Liu Jingning smiled and came to his side.
"Little Que Que, I am so glad that you were not impetuous and impulsive earlier. Still, I don't think you should waste your money buying stones. After all, you haven't been very lucky lately. I doubt you'll find good stuff in the stones."
Xu Que shrugged. "Don't worry, I will!" he said with a smile.
Liu Jingning smiled as well. "If you're so sure, then cut one apart."
"If I find some treasures, I think you should at least give me some reward, right?"
Liu Jingning got close to Xu Que and gently whispered, "Little man, tell me, what do you want?"
"You are standing too close." Xu Que backed away and spoke coldly. "I know we are already quite familiar with each other, but you are a woman, and I am a man. We should behave ourselves."
He already knew what kind of a woman Liu Jingning was: a woman who dared to flirt with a man, but never dared to have sex with him.
Liu Jingning was surprised to see Xu Que back off. Her eyes widened.
D*mn! I really want to punch him in the face. Liu Jingning was so angry she almost wanted to bite him.
Xu Que sent her a voice message. "I was only joking. If I find some treasures inside the stones, you have to tell me where Hong Yan is."
"I can't!" Liu Jingning instantly refused.
"Fine! Without your help, I can still discover her whereabouts!"
Right at the moment, in the center of the yard, many influential men bid the price for a few beautiful ancient stones.
Among the stones, there was one that was as tall as grown man's upper body, and the price had already gone up to 100,000 high quality Spiritual Stones. People wanted it because they thought something good was inside. There was also a round stone, and the price of it had gone up to 60,000 high quality Spiritual Stones, and people wanted it because of the pattern on the stone.
As for Xu Que, he did not think there was anything special about the pattern; he thought the stone might have been stepped on by some holy beasts and that was why it gave out powerful energy from time to time.
"Look!" a young elite exclaimed. "Elder Zhang from the Heaven Secret Pavilion is about to cut a stone."
Elder Zhang had bought an ancient stone with 6,000 Spiritual Stones and was about to cut it. Everyone present watched because, after all, people from the Heaven Secret Pavilion always had good luck. They were famous for being good at divination and could even predict what would happen in the future and in one's life. They always found something nice cutting stones.
Xu Que was also initially interested in the stone, but when he took a closer look he instantly shook his head. "It is definitely a piece of crap!"
No one paid attention to Xu Que's comment.
With everyone looking, Elder Zhang cut a layer of stone off with his jade knife. Inside, there was nothing but stone, which was not good news at all.
Seeing this, people shook their heads. Even Elder Zhang himself frowned with a bit of disappointment.
He did not say anything and continued to cut the stone. The stone was eventually cut into two halves and nothing was found.
"It seems that today is not a good day for me." Elder Zhang sighed and gazed at the sky. He performed a divination and his face grew rather dark.
Meanwhile, the young woman with the surname Li was also about to cut the stone she bought. Everyone, including the powerful men from the Jiang and Gong families, all stared in her direction.
Earlier, Xu Que had said there was a dead man's head inside. No one had really paid attention to his words and thought he simply disliked that stone. In fact, most of the people thought this stone appeared to be a good one.
The young woman quickly cut a layer of stone off.
Bang!
A creepy cold air suddenly erupted from the stone . . .
The water in the lake started to freeze; it was as tranquil as a mirror, and even though the wind blew not even a single ripple formed on the surface.
Seeing this, everyone all got rather excited.
"Can it be possible that there is a piece of Supreme Yin Chilly Jade inside the stone?"
"I knew she would find something good inside. After all, she comes from the Li Family!"
"If the thing inside really is the Supreme Yin Chilly Jade, she is going to make a fortune from it."
Some people got quite jealous.
The young woman suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Que.
"So, you still think the thing inside is just a dead man's head?"
"Sorry?" Xu Que suddenly asked, his face serious. "The thing inside is a old man's head, with his hair and beard gone white. It's intact and rather creepy. Everyone, I suggest you all stay away from her. I'm afraid the old man's head inside the stone will come back alive and f*ck with her later . . . "
"You're talking nonsense!" the young woman sneered. "I said that a man like you should have never been allowed to get in here in the first place! Now, let me show you what is really inside! Open!"
She cut the stone in two halves . . .
Everyone was hit with an extreme gust of cold.
The next minute, a old man's head rolled out.

584 Not Challenging At All
Creak!
The tranquil water in the lake completely froze in an instant!
The air in the surrounding area became stagnant for a moment and then condensed into clumps of white gas, which covered the whole courtyard like a white mist.
The warm spring day had suddenly turned into a chilly winter day.
The change was so fast that no one had enough time to react.
Everyone was immediately dumbfounded. Their frightened eyes focused on the dead man's head, which caused great terror in their hearts.
A dead man's head could apparently be very powerful after emerging from stone!
"My God!" one of the extremely shocked people said. "This is amazing!"
"He's long dead, but he can still influence this world after the reappearance of his body!"
"It's just a head! I'm afraid that the entire body of this man could turn this area into a world of ice and snow!"
"Even the powerhouses at the Form Synthesis Stage don't have such horrible strength! Could it be that he was an ancient cultivator at the Crossing Calamity Stage?"
"I guess he was at the Mahayana Stage! After so many years, his head is still powerful, which can be realized by a celestial! Cultivators at the Mahayana Stage are only within a stone's throw to the Celestial Stage!"
When people perceived that this dead man's head was not dangerous, they started to discuss and guess the cultivation level of its former owner.
Xu Que, who sat on the pavilion with crossed legs, rocked back and forth calmly.
Liu Jingning was also shocked. Suddenly, she turned to Xu Que as if she remembered something. "You . . ." she said in surprise, "knew there was a head hidden in that stone, right?"
"Of course. Otherwise, how could I give it away?" Xu Que smiled arrogantly, narrowing his eyes.
Then, he mocked the woman of the Li Family, who stood not far away. "Hey, you spent 20,000 high quality Spirit Stones to buy a dead man's head. Are you surprised or happy?"
"Shut up!" the woman of the Li Family shouted, glaring at Xu Que angrily.
Although this head had some research value, it definitely not worth 20,000 high quality Spirit Stones!
The bodies of ancient powerhouses were not rare in the World of the Cultivators, which could be found in some mysterious areas. However, nothing useful was found through the research of those bodies.
What's more, this was just a head! The woman of the Li Family had absolutely suffered great losses.
"No, I refuse to shut up! I just want to say: Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! If you're not a coward, just beat me!" Xu Que continued to mock at her by openly laughing.
Seeing his mean expression, the onlookers really wanted to beat him.
The woman of the Li family was so annoyed that she was about to spit blood. Her body trembled and her eyes filled with rage and murder.
However, the big shots and some responsive sovereigns had fixed their eyes on Xu Que. Their eyes were full of admiration, greed, and excitement.
Before cutting the stone, Xu Que had mocked the woman of the Li family for buying a dead man's head with 20,000 high quality Spirit Stones!
People had initially thought Xu Que was just comparing the stone to a dead man's head, so none of them cared about his comment.
However there was really a dead man's head inside, which was thought provoking.
Only a fool couldn't figure out what people weren't saying!
Maybe this young sovereign can really look through stones!
If we could capture him and steal that magic art, we'll always be successful stone-cutting in the future!
At the thought of this, even the big shots couldn't keep their seats anymore.
After all, this miraculous ability was even tempting for powerhouses at the Form Synthesis Stage!
Liu Jingning sensed the eagerness in everyone to capture Xu Que. She opened her red lips slightly and delivered a message to Xu Que. "Little brat, the only thing you can do now is prepare to flee."
However, her message was ignored by Xu Que, who didn't reply but sat there as cool as a cucumber.
The next moment, he shouted at the onlookers arrogantly by crossing his arms. "What are you looking at? If you want to talk to me, just talk to me; otherwise, stop looking at me! I hate being looked at like this! Damn! I know I'm handsome, but it's really tiresome being looked at by people like you every day!"
Tiresome?
Are you feeling bored?
Is it really a good time to act tough? This guy is really poor at adapting to changing circumstances!
Liu Jingning almost went insane because of her anger. She wanted to gouge out Xu Que's brain and check its ingredients.
Nobody responded to Xu Que. The whole area was in an inexplicable silence.
With sinister motives in their hearts, everyone planned to exclusively own Xu Que's miraculous ability of looking through stones.
"Alas, break is over!" Xu Que stood and stretched as if he were currently alone. "It's time to display my real skills! Let me see which stone will be cut first!"
Along with his movements, some of the onlookers moved forward a bit placidly. It seemed their actions were quite casual. Actually, they were trying to encircle the pavilion where Xu Que was to prevent him from escaping!
Liu Jingning's face darkened anxiously. She was considering whether she should reveal her identity as the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction. After pondering it for a short while, she dismissed the idea.
Although she was the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction, in front of big families and sects like the Jiang Family, the Gong Family and the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect, the Utopia Faction was nothing! She couldn't scare these people off.
"Oh, this stone is quite handsome! Let me see what's hiding inside!" Xu Que murmured to himself. His voice was quite high, almost deliberately, as if he wanted to be heard by the onlookers.
He took out the X-ray Perspective Machine to scan the stone with the infrared ray. The next moment, he said, "Wow, I see a bronze fragment with ancient characters. It's probably an ancient magic art!"
After saying that, Xu Que pretended to be pleasantly surprised, then he grabbed a jade knife from the stone table and slashed at the stone directly.
Crack!
Bang! Immediately, a bronze fragment fell out from the stone.
The fragment was quite rusty. However, thickly-dotted ancient characters were faintly visible on it. Before people started to check the fragment with their Soul Strength, Xu Que put the fragment into his System Package by waving his hand!
The onlookers frowned immediately, then they fixed their eyes on the X-ray Perspective Machine in Xu Que's hand.
All of them had figured out that the red light of that machine helped Xu Que look through the stones. He could know everything inside the stone by just scanning them.
"Boring! The stone-cutting is not challenging at all! Really boring, and I don't want to play anymore!"
Xu Que pretended to be bored to death, then he raised the X-ray Perspective Machine in his hand and shouted at the onlookers again. "My fellow cultivators, now the Exploding Heavens Faction is launching a new product! You see this item in my hand, right? Yes, this is the Invincible Heavenly Titanium Alloy Dog Eye of the Exploding Heavens Faction, which can look through ancient stones and check the content inside. Now, it is selling at a low price. The base price is just 100,000 high quality, Best-grade Spirit Stones! IOUs and credit sales are unacceptable. The one who offers the highest price will own this miraculous product!"

585 Chapter 585
One hundred thousand high quality Spiritual Stones?
A magical object that can see through ancient stone for only 100,000 Spiritual Stones? Is he insane?
Everyone stood in surprise, their eyes wide. They couldn't believe Xu Que was selling the object at such a low price. Especially since those broken pieces of bronze were already worth tens of thousands of Spiritual Stones.
With the help of this precious magical object, he managed to get twenty-one ancient stones with treasures inside, and now he is about to sell that object?!
If he sets a comparatively reasonable price for this object, I would definitely buy it!
Many people couldn't believe what Xu Que had just said. However, some of them were getting over the initial shock and felt very happy about this.
In fact, no matter what price Xu Que set for this object—one hundred thousand or one Spiritual Stone—the person who offered the highest price would end up getting it anyways.
Xu Que was sure that, with so many powerful men from influential families present, he would make a fortune at last. However, a problem arose: to get the precious magical object, these people were bound to be aggressive.
Now that everyone knew about this object, anyone who got it would become a target . . .
That was why no one dared make the first move.
The old man from the Gong Family gently moved his lips and sent Elder Jiang and Elder Bai a message. "Elder Jiang, Elder Bai, why don't we put money together and buy this object?"
The two old men immediately answered.
"Sure!"
"No problem!"
They knew clearly that not a single family could have this precious magical object for themselves, since it was just too precious.
However, if it were jointly owned by the three big families, no other family would dare contradict them.
Some powerful men from other influential factions realized what the three old men were plotting.
Feng Wudao turned around and looked at the powerful men of the Heaven Secret Pavilion and other factions.
"Why don't we pool our money and buy it?"
The old man of the Heaven Secret Pavilion nodded. So did the man from the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect. The old man from the Eight Directions White Tiger Sect said, "If we work together, I don't think we should be afraid of the three big families!"
Hearing this, the powerful man from the Eight Directions Vermilion Bird Pavilion smiled.
"With the help of the The Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect, the Heaven Secret Pavilion and us Eight Directions Four Images Sects, it is the three families that will be afraid."
Everyone was suddenly divided into different groups. The atmosphere in the yard was getting rather intense, and the conflict was about to start at any minute.
Liu Jingning sent Xu Que a voice message. "Little man, you did this on purpose, right? Anyway, you have to sell your magic object to the person who bids the highest price! You can't go back on your word!" She had no idea why Xu Que wanted to sell it.
"I can do what I want to!" Xu Que said rather indifferently.
In fact, Xu Que had rented this X-ray machine from the System. He had not bought it, and tomorrow the System would take the machine back. That was why he dared "sell" the X-ray Perspective Machine.
Liu Jingning had a totally different assumption.
She thought that Xu Que was selling it so these influential families and factions would fall into a huge conflict and become distracted from discovering Jiang Hongyan's whereabouts.
Even so, I think he should find another way instead of selling this precious magical object. Thinking of this, Liu Jingning stared at Xu Que in a strange way.
She felt very jealous. She had never thought that Xu Que would be willing to sell this precious magical object for Jiang Hongyan's sake.
"Young man, I would be willing to buy this object with 200 high quality Spiritual Stones!" The old man came forward and spoke on behalf of all the three families.
Earlier, everyone had only wanted to have the ancient stones. Now, everyone wanted to get the X-ray Perspective Machine for their own use!
"Young man!" Feng Wudao shouted. "I would be willing to buy this object with 300,000 high quality Spiritual Stones!"
A man on behalf of other factions also shouted. "I would be willing to buy this object with 350,000 high quality Spiritual Stones!"
"I would be willing to buy this object with 350,001 high quality Spiritual Stones!"
"Three hundred fifty thousand one?! Are you serious?!"
"Yes! I am serious!"
"Young man, don't mind them! I am willing to buy this object with 400,000 high quality Spiritual Stones!"
"The Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect would be willing to buy this object with 300,000 high quality Spiritual Stones!" Feng Wudao repeated.
The old men from the Jiang Family and the Gong Family were silent. Obviously, they were waiting for the right moment.
Right at this moment, Xu Que raised up hand and shouted, "I, Wang Sicong from the Exploding Heavens Faction, would be willing to buy this object with 800,000 high quality Spiritual Stones!"
Hearing this, people glanced at Xu Que in a daze.
Excuse me?! You're the one selling it! You can't buy it! You just said you're Wang Sicong? You're Chou Yun-fat!
"Sorry, everyone," Xu Que laughed, "we have a member here called Wang Sicong. He asked me to bid for him. I promise I will not raise the price again!"
Hearing this, people didn't mind at all. After all, they believed this precious magical object was worth more than 1,000,000 high quality Spiritual Stones.
"Young man! I would be willing to buy it with 1,000,000 high quality Spiritual Stones," the old man of the Jiang Family said.
Feng Wudao hurriedly said, "One million two hundred thousand high quality Spiritual Stones."
"The Burning Mountain Sect—one million three hundred thousand!"
"One million three hundred fifty thousand."
"One million four hundred thousand."
"One million four hundred fifty thousand."
Xu Que suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "I, Hua Wuque from the Exploding Heavens Faction, would be willing to buy this object with two million high quality Spiritual Stones!"
People became furious and glared at Xu Que.
You just said you wouldn't raise the price! You're such a liar!

586 Make a bundle!
In front of so many angry eyes, Xu Que just smiled calmly and shrugged his shoulders. "Let me explain! This product is also high-in-demand in the Exploding Heavens Faction. My buddy Wang Sicong offered 800,000 high quality Spirit Stones, but I didn't sell it to him. After that, my buddy Hua Wuque offered 2,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones for it, but I didn't sell it to him either. However, it makes sense to bid for him here. Am I doing something wrong?"
The onlookers were embarrassed immediately.
Are you wrong?
Who dares say you're wrong?
But you can't do that! If later someone offers a higher price, you could simply offer a higher price! You're definitely teasing us!
We have to get this before anything else. Otherwise, the bidding will be endless!
All at once, the Elder of the Jiang family spoke in a low voice. "My young friend, it's okay for you to bid for your buddy in the Exploding Heavens Faction! But we can't keep bidding like this. Could you tell us how many members of the Exploding Heavens Faction already bid for it?"
The question asked by the Elder of the Jiang Family confused the other big shots in the area. They had to ascertain it now. Otherwise, they would definitely suffer losses later. After all, they had already been cheated by this guy. They decided to avoid that this time.
"Please don't worry. Only a few members of the Exploding Heavens Faction bid for it!" Xu Que waved his hand and smiled gracefully. "Just several thousand people."
What? Several thousand people?
The onlookers' eyes widened. Their noses almost broke in their anger.
Several thousand people already bid for it! How can you say "only a few?"
More importantly, the current price had reached 2,000,000. He had just bid for the second member of his faction. After he'd stated the price offered by several thousand members, the price would be unimaginably high!
"My young friend, you have gone a little bit too far this time!" the Elder of the Jiang Family said angrily. However, he held back his rage for he didn't dare lose his temper.
He was afraid that Xu Que might sell the item to Feng Wudao directly if he lost his now. This guy could even find shelter from Feng Wudao, and the Jiang Family could do nothing about that.
Xu Que could comfortably act tough and fearless because there was a balanced situation among the bidders, who took precautions against each other and worried that their bidding rights might be deprived if they provoked Xu Que.
However, what the Elder of the Jiang Family said was the heartfelt question of everyone. If they allowed Xu Que to bid for his thousands of buddies, the bidding would really be endless!
In addition, everyone knew that the several thousand members mentioned by Xu Que was definitely false! The prices had also been fabricated by him so that he could tease everyone and raise the price. However, no one was willing to point this out.
"My young friend," Feng Wudao said calmly, "just state the highest price offered by the members of your faction. This could save a lot of time!"
Xu Que smiled but shook his head. "Forget it! They just make offers for fun. Maybe they don't want it now. So, I will not bid for them anymore. You can continue now!"
They made offers for fun?
Hearing that, everyone was about to spit blood again!
However, one after another, they heaved sighs of relief. As long as this guy stopped making trouble, they could continue their bidding.
They continued to raise the price crazily. With abundant Spirit Stones in hand, several alliances of the big sects and families kept raising the price.
When the price reached 3,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones, the families and sects that didn't have enough Spirit Stones gave up by sighing and shaking their heads.
Three million high quality Spirit Stones was a horribly astronomical figure—enough to set up a powerful faction!
Even the Jiang and Gong families couldn't easily take out so many Spirit Stones. Luckily, they were cooperating with each other. Three million high quality Spirit Stones was still affordable, and they could even keep raising the price!
Also, they firmly believed that as long as they obtained that precious item, they could definitely get a return more valuable than millions of high quality Spirit Stones within several months.
At this moment, Liu Jingning fixed her eyes on Xu Que again. Since she'd first met Xu Que in the Water Nation, she'd felt this young man was quite special.
However, she had only felt he was special. She hadn't thought him very capable. At that time, Xu Que had at most been a sovereign who could rival the Holy Son for her in the future.
She had never expected this guy could come to the East Continent after several months and make trouble on the first day here.
Maybe he was also influenced by the bad luck of Jiang Hongyan. However, a normal person would have been killed, or at least seriously wounded, after experiencing the things he'd encountered today. But nothing happened to him, the man who sat there safely.
More ominous still, this guy had taken on the leading role in the Stone-Cutting Convention!
He was fiddling with the big shots of all the large families and sects in the East Continent as if they were toys. Anything he did caused an uproar!
Liu Jingning knew she had totally underestimated Xu Que!
Liu Jingning stared at Xu Que placidly and delivered to him a message. "Little Queque, it has struck me that you could really live up to Jiang Hongyan!"
Xu Que's eyes lit up immediately. He said delightedly, "You really have experienced eyes, my little sister. Frankly speaking, only I, the one with the most handsome appearance in this world, could live up to Hongyan!"
Liu Jingning shook her head with a faint smile on her face. "Jiang Hongyan is suffering from a rocky fate, and she could even bring bad luck to people around her. As the Heavenly Cursed Lone Star, she is destined to be alone in this life if she can't change her fate. Now it turns out that maybe you, a crafty old scoundrel, can easily solve all kinds of bad luck in this world!"
Xu Que's face darkened immediately. He turned around, speechless.
'A crafty old scoundrel?' Are you kidding? What are you talking about? Can a smart scholar be described as 'a crafty old scoundrel?'
My name should be something like 'strategic cheater,' or you could describe me as someone who uses dirty tricks tactfully and rationally. How could I be described as 'a crafty old scoundrel?' My nominal age is just nineteen. How am I 'old?'
Noticing his reaction, Liu Jingning couldn't help smiling. She didn't say more but turned her attention to the bidding among the big shots.
Now the bidding had reached the critical stage. Most bidders had been scared off by the high price. Only Feng Wudao, who represented the alliance of the big sects, and the Elder of the Jiang family, who represented the alliance of the big families, were left.
The two of them continued to raise the price to 4,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones, which was quite domineering! The two of them, however, who were under great stress, were extremely nervous.
Their limit was 5,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones. Any price higher than that was unacceptable to them!
Therefore, it was the time to test their psychological endurance!
This was just like playing chess. No matter how nervous you are, you should never let your opponent know your limits. And you should do your best to convince your opponent that you will strive for victory at all costs.
Suddenly, the Elder of the Jiang family calmly said, "The Jiang Family offers 5,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones!"
His understated words immediately raised the price by 1,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones!
Feng Wudao opened his mouth a bit with trembling lips. He at last didn't dare raise the price.
It seemed the Elder of the Jiang family had lost the patience to raise the price gradually, so he directly raised the price by 1,000,000.
This made Feng Wudao believe that the alliance of the big families would continue to raise the price if he marked it up again.
Apparently, when this idea held a leading post in Feng Wudao's heart, the scale of the battle had been tipped toward the Elder of the Jiang Family.
After communicating through delivering messages, Feng Wudao and several representatives of the big sects shook their heads regretfully and decided to give up.
"Fine, it is destined that we can't own this miraculous item!" When Feng Wudao uttered these words regretfully, the Elders of the Jiang Family, the Gong Family and the Bai Family let out sighs of relief in their hearts. Finally, they had won.
At last, the three big families scraped together the sum of 5,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones by taking out 1,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones respectively and borrowing another 2,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones from the big sects in this area. They put all the Spirit Stones in a high quality storage ring and placed the ring in front of Xu Que.
"Congratulations! This is really a happy transaction!" Xu Que received the storage ring with a smile and gave the X-ray Perspective Machine to the Elder of the Jiang family.
The Elder of the Jiang family was quite unhappy for he had no love for Xu Que. He just snorted and said nothing.
Just at this moment, Xu Que reached his hand into his pocket with a smile as if he planned to take out something.
The Elder of the Jiang family's expression changed abruptly, as if he had remembered something. Then he shouted in surprise, "Wait! My young friend, don't tell me you have another miraculous item like this!"
Although he thought it was almost impossible, the memory of the Smelly Tofu had cast a shadow over his heart.
If Xu Que really took out another X-ray Perspective Machine, the Elder of the Jiang family would definitely burst with anger. He could probably kill Xu Que on the spot.
However, Xu Que took out a pack of cigarettes and shook his head. "Don't be nervous. It is a one-of-a-kind product. Just take it easy!"
After saying that, he lit a cigarette and started to enjoy the smoke.
Hearing his words, the Elders of the Jiang family, the Gong family and the Bai family let out a sighs of relief and felt completely reassured.
However, when they looked at Xu Que, a strand of killing intent flashed through their eyes.
Five million high quality Spirit Stones was not a small figure. How could a young man earn such a large sum from the three big families this easily?
The Elders of the three big families had reached a tacit agreement that they would follow Xu Que after the Stone-Cutting Convention and then they would erase him from this world when conditions changed.
Even other big shots in this area had been attracted by this. With sinister motives in their hearts, they placidly fixed their eyes on Xu Que.
However, when the Elder of the Jiang family received the X-ray Perspective Machine, Xu Que's mean voice hit their ears before the Elder of the Jiang family had time to check the machine.
"Guys, the next auction item is the Operation Manual of this miraculous item! And the base price is 10,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones!"

587 I want them to suffer until they cry
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
What? This magic object has its own manual that costs ten million high quality Spiritual Stones. I knew this young man had made up his mind to play with these powerful men and make them suffer.
He already has five million high quality Spiritual Stones from the big three Families, and he is still not satisfied with that?!
He will surely regret this!
Liu Jingning was also stunned. She never realized Xu Que was such an extremely shameless man.
He sold this magical object without telling them how to use it?!
The Elders from the Jiang and Gong families were so angry that they almost passed out.
Still, they believed they could figure out how it worked without the so-called manual.
The Elder of the Jiang Family grabbed the X-ray Perspective Machine and pressed the on/off button.
The next minute, the X-ray Perspective Machine gave out a ray of red light.
"Haha! I know how it works!" the Elder of the Jiang Family exclaimed. But immediately, his smile froze.
There was only a ray of red light and nothing more.
"Oh, really? You really know how it works?" Xu Que laughed. "Then it seems that the manual can no longer be sold."
How stupid they are! They really think they can see through the stones simply with that X-ray Perspective Machine?
In fact, only Xu Que could see the image of the inside of the stone. This was because the image was projected into the System to which only he had access.
In other words, the big three families had spent five million Spiritual Stones on something they could not even use.
"Young man, I think you should at least tell us how to use it! I spent so much money and you must tell us how to use it!" The Elder of the Jiang Family looked ready to burst.
In truth, the big three families could not afford another ten million high quality Spiritual Stones.
If the manual only had cost less than ten million high quality Spiritual Stones, they would definitely buy it. Besides, they had already decided to kill Xu Que as soon as the convention was over.
Liu Jingning stood close to Xu Que and sent him a voice message. "Young man! You should stop playing with them! You will regret it later on."
If Xu Que insisted they pay ten million high quality Spiritual Stones, the Elders from the big three families would furiously work together to kill Xu Que.
Buttface had still been playing with the recorder but suddenly stopped. He also felt the threat.
"Xu Que, just tell them how to use it! We should leave now! By the way, I'm not frightened, I just have something urgent to deal with!"
Xu Que did not answer Buttface and smiled.
"You are right," he said, "I should have told you how to use it. Well, this is the manual, take it!" Xu Que took out a manual and threw it to the Elder from the Jiang Family.
The Elder from the Jiang Family hurriedly seized the manual. As soon as he opened it, his face turned blue.
There was not a single word in the manual book.
Xu Que smiled. "Calm down and allow me to explain. We all know the X-ray Perspective Machine is very precious. So I used some tactics when I wrote this book. Put it in the sun, and you will see what is written inside."
In fact, this so-called book was just a fake.
Hearing this, the Elders from the big three families frowned.
Since it was night already, they would have to wait till tomorrow to see if Xu Que was telling the truth or not.
"Young man! Well, if this is what is happening, I think you should stay here temporarily in case we read some contents that might confuse us!"
The Elder meant to lock Xu Que here.
"No, I can't possibly stay here tonight. I am an active person, and I need to relax from time to time."
The Elder from the Jiang Family smiled. "Of course you can relax. As long as you don't leave this city."
Xu Que shook his head. "You can't to this to me! I have given you the manual and you can learn how to use it by reading it yourselves. I am not obligated to teach you!" He glanced at the dark sky and smiled. "Well, I think we should call it a day! Excuse me, I am going to leave. By the way, anyone who wanted to loot me please follow!"
Then, he handsomely turned around and walked to the entrance of the yard.
Hearing this, everyone present was surprised.
How dare he! He clearly knows that we are going to loot him and he just said it out loud in front of everyone! How on earth can he be so audacious! He must have already been fully prepared.
Thinking of this, those who intended to loot him hesitated.
The Elders from the Jiang Family and the Gong Family, however, still wanted to loot and kill Xu Que.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
They had decided not to let Xu Que go unless they were sure that what he said was true or not. They would not kill him before that.
"Everyone! The Stone-cutting Convention is ongoing. Please excuse me for taking an early leave, I need to bring the X-ray Perspective Machine back to the Jiang Family." After all, the Elder from the Jiang Family was one of the hosts, so he had to show some politeness before he left.
The rest of the people were no longer interested in this convention. They knew that all the good stones had been claimed by Xu Que, and they would not waste their money on crap.
Meanwhile, the Elders of the Gong Family and the Bai Family stood and spoke..
"We need to accompany Elder Jiang. After all, the X-ray Perspective Machine is so precious!"
Hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes.
They all knew that no one in the Cultivation World dared to loot anyone from the big three families. After hearing what they said, the rest instantly knew they wanted to take back the five million high quality Spiritual Stones.
Seeing the three Elders leaving, those who meant to kill Xu Que hesitated and did not follow them.
They knew that if they followed the three, they would also be killed. If the news that the three Elders' killing of Xu Que spread, the reputation of the three families would be damaged.
"The three old boobies are so shameless!" Feng Wudao cursed.
He had already guessed what would happen next. No matter how much he sympathized with Xu Que, he could do nothing about it.
After all, he could not put the entire Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect in danger to save Xu Que.
Hearing Feng Wudao's curse, the rest just forced out smiles and pretended they had not listened.
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que, Liu Jingning and Buttface were already on their way.
Xu Que slowly walked as if it were after a meal.
Seeing this, both Liu Jingning and Buttface became very anxious. They had already noticed the three Elders and a few Elders of the Void Training Stage following them.
"Little Que Que, we need to leave right now!" Liu Jingning said seriously.
Buttface was frightened. "Hurry up! I really have something urgent to deal with!"
Xu Que laughed at Buttface. "Nonsense! I know you're just afraid."
Then he shook his head and sent a voice message to Liu Jingning and Buttface. "Don't worry, those people won't dare hurt us now. By the way, I have not even used my final trick. I want them to suffer until they cry! Just wait—I'm going to give you two a great show!"
Xu Que smiled and walked to the outside of the city.

588 An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth
Liu Jingning just didn't believe what Xu Que had said.
Is he planning to cheat the three big families substantially?
How could this be easy?
Liu Jingning's eyelid twitched after hearing Xu Que's words. After all, she had witnessed his bad conduct. He would cheat someone to death if he decided to do so.
For example, at the beginning of today's Stone-Cutting Convention, this guy earned over 50,000 high quality Spirit Stones with some Smelly Tofu and his mouth. Then, he obtained twenty-one ancient stones and 5,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones with a miraculous instrument. Also, a lot of people who participated in the event were greatly annoyed by him.
Also, because of his brazen behavior, the people of the three big families had started to follow him.
For Liu Jingning, it was totally unnecessary for Xu Que to do so. With so many miraculous items, he could find some big auction houses to sell them. And he could definitely earn more Spirit Stones than he'd earned in this convention. It would also be safer for him and his identity would remain confidential.
However, she hadn't expected that Xu Que was not in need of Spirit Stones at all. The only reason for his behavior today was to act tough!
There was no difference between a man who didn't act tough and a salted fish. If Xu Que decided to keep a low profile, he wouldn't earn Acting Tough Points. He'd encountered so many things today! For normal people, this was definitely misfortunate!
But Xu Que had really realized a bumper harvest in Acting Tough Points and Spirit Stones through these experiences. Today had been the most rewarding day for him since he'd stepped into the World of Cultivators.
Thus, today confirmed for Xu Que that, in the future, he should assign importance to simultaneously acting tough and making trouble.
"Why don't they just come to me? It's boring! Are they going to wait until I get out of the city?" At the thought of his plan to cheat the people of the three big families, Xu Que couldn't hold it back anymore.
Hearing that, Liu Jingning couldn't help rolling her eyes. Ordinary people would always want to keep a distance with the three big families. For him, the three big families were just like beautiful girls who could light up his eyes.
My Gosh! How was he brought up? How could he be so bold?
"Little brat, have you worked out the plan to deal with them?" Buttface asked. "If you have, I want to join you!"
He had also witnessed Xu Que's tricks. Seeing Xu Que's excited face, he couldn't resist his curiosity and wanted to join in the plan.
It was quite rare for Buttface to be brave, so Xu Que said delightedly, "Later you are responsible for playing music! You will be in charge of this tape recorder!"
"Really?" Hearing that, Buttface was quite excited. He hugged the tape recorder in his front legs tightly.
Xu Que patted Buttface's forehead and silently nodded. "Of course! Buttface, just work harder and you will become a great DJ in the future. And if your performance is good enough, your title will be MC Buttface, who is extremely cool and can control the microphone on the spot!"
Buttface didn't understand the meaning of "MC" or "control the microphone." However, he couldn't resist the allure of the words "extremely cool." Therefore, he immediately became overexcited.
In this way, a man and a dog walked toward the city gate with swagger. Liu Jingning stopped and pondered a bit, then she decided to follow them with a wry smile.
At the beginning, she wondered whether she should get involved in this issue or not. After all, the Utopia Faction couldn't afford to offend the three big families!
However, after pondering it a bit, she made up her mind to follow them for she didn't want to leave Xu Que alone.
At first, she was worried about Xu Que's safety. Now she started to worry that Xu Que should not be allowed to stay in the East Continent alone. Otherwise, according to his style, he would definitely turn the entire East Continent upside down.
…
The people of the three big families followed closely.
The Elders of the Jiang Family and the Gong Family as well as the powerhouse of the Bai Family were powerful cultivators at the Void Training Stage.
Besides, many servants and young sovereigns of the three big families were also in the team, which was very conspicuous in the city.
Many people in the street made way for them. Seeing people of the three big families marching toward the city gate, the onlookers were greatly confused.
Everyone knew the relationship between the big families in the East Continent was very tense.
However, the news that the Jiang Family was connecting the Gong Family through marriages came out, which demonstrated the recovery of the relationship between these two big families.
But why is the Bai Family also in the team?
Since when are the three big families so united?
It is quite weird for them to walk together so harmoniously!
"Could it be that something precious was found?" someone guessed doubtfully.
"No! They came out from that building. The Stone-Cutting Convention just ended."
"It is quite odd! The Stone-Cutting Convention is co-hosted by the Jiang Family and the Gong Family. Why did the hosts leave first? Where are the other families and sects?"
"Maybe a precious item was found, which made all of them part on bad terms. I noticed those big shots were very unhappy!"
Many people were guessing. Some of them even planned to watch the fun by following the people from the three big families.
Just at this moment, the gate of the building opened. The big shots of the other families and sects who participated in the Stone-Cutting Convention stepped out and then left.
Immediately, someone in the street shouted, "Breaking news! Today's Stone-Cutting Convention ended horribly! The big families and sects gained nothing. It is said that all valuable ancient stones were bought by a young sovereign from the Exploding Heavens Faction! All the remaining stones are worthless!"
"What?" everyone was greatly shocked.
Someone in the crowd continued to shout, "I heard this young sovereign from the Exploding Heavens Faction had a miraculous item which can look through the ancient stones! With the aid of this item, he became the sole winner of this event by picking out all the high-quality ancient stones!"
"It could look through the ancient stone! How could that be possible?" People were somehow even more shocked.
"It is absolutely true! At first, that young sovereign cooked some Smelly Tofu, which could enhance a cultivator's Soul Strength by ten percent. Many big shots joined the panic buying. After that, the Jiang Family bought the miraculous item which could look through the ancient stones from that young man by cooperating with the Gong Family and the Bai Family at a formidable price of 5,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones!"
This news immediately caused an uproar among all the cultivators in the city.
"Holy sh*t! Five million high quality Spirit Stones?"
"This is way too much!"
"That's why the three big families walked together toward the city gate just now! Because they bought a precious item by cooperating with each other!"
"My God! How could such a miraculous item, which can look through the ancient stones, exist in this world?"
"Nobody will organize the Stone-Cutting Convention in future!"
As everyone voiced their surprise, the other big shots who participated in the Stone-Cutting Convention left quietly.
The news was released by people sent by these big shots, who had accumulated abundant experience in handling issues like this after so many years.
The reason they had been cheated by Xu Que during the Stone-Cutting Convention was that they had stayed in the high positions for a long time, and no young people dared tease them like that.
However, the convention was over. Now the three big families had obtained a precious item by cooperating with each other. Therefore, these big shots had to make trouble for the three big families by spreading the news and making enemies for them.
Someone released news again.
"The latest hearsay: the three big families have gone out of the city, and their target is to intercept and kill the young sovereign of the Exploding Heavens Faction so that they can get back those 5,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones!"
Wow!
The hearsay caused another uproar among the cultivators in the city immediately.
As big families, how could they act shamelessly like this?
How could that be?
"I noticed the big shots of the three big families were quite unhappy just now. And their eyes were filled with killing intent. Are they really planning to kill that young man and rob the Spirit Stones?"
"This is horrible! No one will dare deal with the three big families in the future!"
"No, we should go and have a look. We should save that young man! The three big families are too overbearing! They must be stopped."
"Right! If they really want to break the rules, we have to save that young man and deprive that precious item from them!"
"How could such a miraculous item be in the evil hands of the three big families?"
"Let's go out of the city together! The team of the three big families only has several powerhouses at the Void Training Stage. If we attack together, they will be defeated!"
All at once, being agitated by numerous instigations, thousands of cultivators in the ancient city teamed up and dashed together toward the city gate!

589 This is all you“ve got?
Xu Que, Liu Jingning and Buttface slowly walked along the path outside the city, as if they were simply taking a night walk.
There were three pamphlets in Xu Que's hand, and he was writing something on them.
Seeing this, Liu Jingning became rather curious. "Little Que Que, what are you writing?"
"Virus!" Xu Que smiled.
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned. "What?"
"Have you ever heard of the 'Trojan Horse?'" Xu Que asked while writing.
Liu Jingning shook her head. "No."
"Ha!" Xu Que smiled shamelessly. "Well I won't tell you."
Liu Jingning rolled her eyes, almost ready to hit Xu Que.
He is such a b*tch! God! I am so annoyed with him! I have never seen anyone as shameless as he is!
…
Meanwhile, the three Elders from the three influential families followed after them.
"He knows we are about to kill him, why is he so calm?" The Elder from the Gong Family frowned. "Is it possible that he has some sort of back up?"
Hearing this, the Elder from the Jiang Family sneered. "What? Don't tell me you're afraid of him! He's just a young man in the Infant Transformation Stage—he can't possibly beat us!"
"Ha!" The Elder from the Gong Family sneered. "There's no need to be so nervous about all this. I don't mean anything of what I just said. I think it's you who's afraid."
Even if the two had been tricked by Xu Que earlier during the Stone-cutting Convention, they were still extremely powerful. They thought that, at last, they would be the ones laughing the longest.
Compared to the two Elders of the Void Training Stage, Xu Que would always be in a much weaker place regards to competitiveness.
The Elder of the Bai Family turned around to look at the city, which was over ten miles away. "I think people in the city already know our plans!"
The Elder from the Jiang Family was a bit upset. "It must have been Feng Wudao who spread the news!"
"Never mind that! I sent a voice message to my family asking them to come protect the X-ray Perspective Machine. Feng Wudao will behave himself unless he wants to start a war with us! The most important thing for us to do now is to catch that young man!"
The three men then looked at each other and gently raised their hands at the same time. The next minute, all the people following them initiated their attack.
Suddenly, dozens of rays of light flew across the sky!
All these people were in the Infant Transformation Stage. In just a few minutes, they all landed in front of Xu Que, Liu Jingning, and Buttface, blocking their way.
Xu Que was not surprised at all. He had expected this would happen.
He smiled. "Tell me, do you want me or my money?"
Hearing this, these people were speechless.
The three Elders, together with a few young elites, walked forward.
"Young man, it's rather dark and windy, quite unsafe for you to walk all by yourselves. Why not allow us to accompany with you?"
Xu Que shook his head. "I know you want to loot us—there's really no need to make excuses!"
"Young man, you misunderstand us. We simply want to keep you safe. And, well, of course we would charge some fees."
The Elder from the Gong Family smiled. Everyone could tell that he wanted to kill Xu Que.
Hearing this, Xu Que was amused.
They are really shameless! Charging fees?!
Xu Que smiled at them. "How much do you want to charge us? Five million Spiritual Stones?"
Seeing this, Liu Jingning frowned. In fact, she never liked the three big families; but even so, she never realized they were such hypocrites.
"Fine! Since you already know our real intentions, then just give us all the Spiritual Stones you earned back in the Stone-Cutting Convention. Then I will be very willing to finish your life."
"Please don't be like this," Xu Que murmured with a smile. "You just want to know how to use that treasured object, and I'll tell you! But I can only tell one of you!"
Hearing this, the Elder from the Jiang Family laughed and shook his head.
"Are you trying to trick us?! Just spit it out! If you don't, we will make you spit out!"
The three Elders were not stupid and would not be easily fooled by Xu Que. They worried that Xu Que might say nothing at all and pretend that he had to create conflict among them.
That was why none of them was willing to walk forward.
"You've surprised me," Xu Que exclaimed. "I thought I would fool you three again!"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was speechless and turned around.
"Don't tell me that's all you've got?!"
Xu Que shrugged. "It is! Unfortunately, I've failed."
Then he sighed and raised his head to look at the sky.
"I always consider myself a wise man, I never thought I would fail!"
Buttface was playing with the recorder, and when he heard Xu Que's words, he was frightened and was about to run away. But he stopped since he knew Xu Que would easily catch up with him.
"Xu Que, hurry up! I told you many times that I have something urgent to do!"
Liu Jingning was also terribly upset by Xu Que's words.
She had thought Xu Que had some big plans in mind . . .
Liu Jingning gently moved her lips and sent a voice message to Xu Que. "Since you've got no more tricks, I think we should leave here now!"
Xu Que waved his hand dismissively and did not reply.
The three Elders smiled at each other, and were very confident that they could kill Xu Que.
"Young man, I suggest you behave yourself," the Elder from the Jiang Family said.
"Give us all the Spiritual Stones you've got and come with us. Otherwise, we'll make you suffer!"
Xu Que stopped smiling. "I'm sorry," he said seriously, "but I really can't go with you, and I can't possibly give you the Spiritual Stones. I already said that I will tell you how to use the treasured object, and then I owe you nothing."
Hearing this, both Liu Jingning and Buttface were shocked.
He's giving in? He's such an arrogant and bElder, and he's just giving in like this?!
The three Elders were not surprised at all.
"The pamphlet I gave you earlier is fake," Xu Que said, taking out three books and throwing them at the Elders. "Now, I'll give each of you a real one!"
The three Elders caught the books and immediately opened them.
They worried that the pamphlets were not the same, so they began cross checking the content as soon.
Luckily, they found that the content was the same.
"What?" the Elder from the Jiang Family exclaimed. "I can even put this treasured object inside my body and it will grow more powerful?! This is amazing!"
On the first page of the pamphlet, there was a rather complicated hand gesture and a mnemonic phrase. Once someone mastered the hand gesture and the mnemonic phrase, he would be able to absorb the X-ray perspective machine into his body and make it stronger.
The Elder from the Bai Family frowned. "This mnemonic phrase is really strange. I think we should try it first to see if it's real!"
Hearing this, the Elder from the Jiang Family nodded and took out the X-ray perspective machine. He held it above his head and made the hand gesture the pamphlet instructed to. Then he began to murmur the mnemonic phrase.
"Wo si da sa bi, zai shuo yi bian, wo zhen de shi da sha bi, sha de bu yao bu yao de. Chui no xiong kou!"
As soon as he finished the mnemonic phrase, the X-ray perspective machine suddenly disappeared and was taken back by Xu Que's System.
The three Elders had no idea what had really happened.
Seeing this, the Elders from the Gong Family and Bai Family exclaimed.
"It's real!"
The Elder from the Jiang Family was surprised. He touched his head and frowned.
"How strange! I thought it would not work! But I don't feel the X-ray perspective machine inside my body . . . "
"Wait a minute! On page two, it discussed the way to take it out. We should try it!" The Elders from the Gong Family and Bai Family exclaimed.
They were really happy to find it so easy to control the X-ray perspective machine, while the Elder from the Jiang Family was very doubtful. But he had no option but to do as the pamphlet instructed.
He made the gesture and read aloud the mnemonic phrase.
"Come out! Wo de xiao ji ba!"

590 Another grand conspiracy!
Hearing the bellow of the Elder of the Jiang Family, everyone fixed their eyes on him.
However, the X-ray Perspective Machine still didn't show up.
The three Elders immediately grimaced.
The Elders of the Gong Family and the Bai Family frowned because they started to suspect the Elder of the Jiang Family.
The Elder of the Jiang Family frowned for he started to suspect he might have been cheated by Xu Que again!
The Elder of the Jiang Family decided to try it again. He took a deep breath, focused his attention, and then he shouted loudly with great dignity. "Come out, my little d*ck!"
Whoosh!
However, nothing changed. The X-ray Perspective Machine had not emerged yet.
The atmosphere in this area became quite embarrassing.
Xu Que was so excited! Why does this foolish old man shout the 'little d*ck' in such an overbearing way? If your d*ck is small, how could you be overbearing?
Everyone's eyebrows knitted even closer together.
The face of the Elder of the Jiang Family was darker than a storm. Now he knew clearly that he'd been cheated again, even though he'd taken all kinds of precautionary measures.
The Elders of the Gong Family and the Bai Family also wore dark expressions.
Under such a scenario, they were inclined to believe the Elder of the Jiang Family. After all, they knew Xu Que's personality clearly. However. . . they also had to take precautions against the Jiang Family!
Therefore, at this moment, the Gong Family and the Bai Family suspected the Elder of the Jiang Family and Xu Que at the same time, and wanted to figure out who was lying!
Liu Jingning's eyes lit up as if she had been struck by a sudden idea. Then, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Xu Que had been writing down something in a pamphlet and said what he was writing was a virus! Now, she figured out that the pamphlet was an operation manual on the surface, but that there must be a catch to it. Some of the information must be fake.
The magic art and hand gesture to take back the miraculous item were both real. However, the magic art and hand gesture to release the miraculous item must be false!
But the people of the other two big families were not fools and couldn't be cheated by such a petty trick.
Liu Jingning sniffled her delicate nose and glanced at Xu Que thoughtfully. What is he going to do next?
"My young friend, your joke is not funny at all!" The Elder of the Jiang Family grinded his teeth and stared at Xu Que with a cold, darkened face.
If the Elder of the Jiang Family were dealing with an ordinary person, he could prove his innocence soon. However, now he was confronting Xu Que, who was good at acting!
At this moment, the old driver Xu Que began his performance.
The detailed execution of his stunned expression was flawless. His lips turned pale and his unsophisticated eyes filled with innocence and a strand of fine-tuned doubt and surprise. He lifted his arms slightly and separated his fingers. He even took a step backwards in a slightly flustered way. This step added the finishing touch.
He provided the perfect interpretation of a leading character's mixed emotions! Then, he said in surprise, "Senior, what . . . do you mean? That operation manual is real! I didn't cheat you!"
Sh*t!
The Elder of the Jiang Family's eyes widened instantly and he was about to spit blood.
D*mn! This guy is really good at acting! I almost believed I'd wronged him! Crap! This is terrible!
A sinking feeling filled the heart of the Elder of the Jiang Family. He knew he had gotten himself in big trouble this time.
Seeing Xu Que's reaction, the Elders of the Gong Family and the Bai Family immediately turned to the Elder of the Jiang Family, as expected. They angrily questioned Elder of the Jiang Family at the same time.
"Jiang Limu, let me tell you—your joke isn't funny either!"
"Where is the miraculous item?"
Jiang Limu was also annoyed. He had been totally wronged for he couldn't sense the existence of the X-ray Perspective Machine at all.
However, he knew he should stay calm. After all, it was a precious item which was well worth 5,000,000 high quality Spirit Stones. No, it was a priceless treasure.
Also, if he lost his temper, he could never prove his innocence!
Immediately, he took a deep breath and coldly said, "You can't trust this guy easily! Don't forget how cunning he is! This operation manual is definitely a fake one!"
"Senior, you can eat whatever you want," Xu Que replied angrily, "but you can't make irresponsible remarks! My operation manual is absolutely real!" His pupils contracted slightly and he clenched his fists. He became slightly breathless.
These details conveyed anger.
"Your death is imminent. How dare you tease me? I will kill you!" the Elder of the Jiang Family shouted angrily. He was about to attack Xu Que with the intent to kill.
Xu Que retreated immediately and shouted, "Wait! Are you going to kill me to prevent the revealment of your secret? Old bastard, I know you want to take exclusive possession of the miraculous item! However, you made a mistake today!"
After saying that, Xu Que turned to the Elders of the Gong Family and the Bai Family and folded his arms. "You two, I can prove I am not the liar!"
The two Elders' eyebrows raised instantly.
"Oh?"
"How will you prove that?"
Meanwhile, they moved closer to the Elder of the Jiang Family to prevent him from escaping or killing Xu Que.
Xu Que paused a bit as if he were hesitating. At last, he grinded his teeth and spoke in a low voice. "Actually, you might wonder why I sold such a miraculous item instead of using it myself. Well, altogether I have two miraculous items. I sold one to you and the other one is hiding in my body!"
What?
Everyone was surprised.
In fact, they had suspected something like that. Why had Xu Que taken out such a miraculous item and sold it in such a way? Either Xu Que was a fool or he had a similar item.
However, this item was too miraculous and amazing! If there were a second one, the whole world would be in great chaos!
Because of this they hadn't taken their suspicion seriously. But now, after hearing Xu Que, their hearts fluttered.
D*mn! There really are two miraculous items! As expected.
Suddenly, everything made sense. Xu Que's actions seemed more rational to the three big families.
However, Jiang Limu felt something was wrong, and his face became darker than before.
Suddenly, Jiang Limu found it was very difficult to justify himself at this moment. It seemed all the cards were held by Xu Que. Everything Jiang Limu said now would be useless.
"Please look carefully," Xu Que said. "Now, I will take off my storage ring, and I have no storage bag on my body. You can have a look. I will prove my innocence by using the same hand gesture and incantation to release the other miraculous item!" The next moment, he took off his black robe and spread his ten fingers. He even turned around so that everyone could check him.
After that, he pressed his palms together and made the same hand gesture that the Elder of the Jiang Family had; then, he gathered Qi in his Dantian and shouted loudly, "Come out, my big d*ck!"
Whoosh!
The X-ray Perspective Machine exited the System Package and instantly appeared in his hand!
The people from the three big families were shocked.
When Xu Que produced the hand gesture, the people from the three big families had fixed their eyes on him. Till the emergence of the X-ray Perspective Machine, they hadn't sensed any Spiritual Qi fluctuation in Xu Que's body, which proved that he didn't take out the miraculous item from a storage artifact.
The method he used was real!
"That's not right. So that's it! Now I got it!" The Elder of the Gong Family's eyes lit up. He picked up the pamphlet and turned to page two, then he spoke with a cold smile. "My young friend, the incantation you wrote for us is different from what you said just now!"
"Ah?" Xu Que pretended to be shocked, then he spoke hurriedly as if he suddenly realized something. "I got it! The incantation is incorrect indeed. I am sorry, for the incantation is very complicated, and I made a mistake! It should be 'big d*ck' and not 'small d*ck!'"
"Ha-ha. You made that mistake deliberately, right?" the Elder of the Gong Family asked coldly.
The Elder of the Jiang Family continued frowning. He didn't think Xu Que was simple enough to try actively proving his innocence.
At this moment, Xu Que put on his storage ring with a smile, then he took out an Intermediate Divine Escape Spell and threw it to Jiang Limu. After that, he folded his hands and said, "Senior Jiang, I made a mistake just now that caused a misunderstanding. I will make amends by giving you this Earth Shrinking Spell as a gift."
Hearing this, the expressions of the Elders immediately changed.
"What? An Earth Shrinking Spell?"
Earth shrinking was a magic more powerful than magic arts. How could he have it?
Jiang Limu started to sneer. He shook his head. "If you really have such a magical spell, why didn't you escape instead of admitting your mistake?"
"Eh, you are really good at joking," Xu Que said with a hollow laugh. "Fighting against the three big families, I'll soon be captured no matter how many Earth Shrinking Spells I have! So, I just don't want to offend the three big families. And the reason that I gave the operation manual to you is that I want to foster a good relationship with you."
His words convinced the three Elders.
No one dared provoke any one of the three big families, let alone offend the three big families at the same time.
Therefore, Xu Que's words were quite logical for the three Elders.
He didn't escape because he knew that he couldn't run away, so he chose to stay and save his life by handing out the operation manual.
Jiang Limu also nodded; he believed he'd failed to take out the miraculous item because of the wrong incantation. Although he hadn't tested the current incantation, he was almost convinced by Xu Que's words.
He came from the Jiang Family, which a young sovereign never had the balls to provoke.
…
Liu Jingning and Buttface staredg at Xu Que dumbfounded at this moment.
According to their knowledge about Xu Que, they knew this was definitely not his style.
Admit a mistake? Make amends?
Are you kidding? This guy wouldn't suffer a loss even the world ended!
A conspiracy!
It's absolutely a conspiracy!
And it should be a grand conspiracy!

591 Come out! Come out!
"Fine, I'll take the Earth Shrinking Amulet!"
Jiang Limu took the amulet, but he didn't believe it was authentic.
The old man of the Gong Family and the old man of the Bai Family also didn't believe the Earth Shrinking Amulet was something that existed. That was why they didn't stop Jiang Limu from taking it.
Suddenly, Jiang Limu sneered. "Young man," he said, "you have to give your X-ray perspective machine to us!"
"This is impossible!" Xu Que yelled. "I can't possibly do that!"
"It's too late!" Jiang Limu sneered.
Bang!
Suddenly, the black cloud gathered in the air and morphed into a huge palm. The palm quickly came down and shrouded Xu Que, Liu Jingning and Buttface.
"Go!"
Xu Que was furious. He used a Divine Tracking Emblem and, holding Liu Jingning and Buttface tightly, disappeared with them.
Bang!
The huge palm hit heavily on the ground and created an enormous hole, and the woods and rocks all around fragmented after the explosion.
Still, Xu Que managed to run away.
Seeing this, the three old men felt extremely shocked. "They ran away?"
"Impossible!"
"He really has the Earth Shrinking Amulet?!"
Jiang Limu was very happy and tightly held the amulet, his heart jumping very quickly.
The old men from the Gong Family and the Bai Family got very jealous and stared closely at the amulet in his hand.
I should have asked an amulet or two from that young man!
"As you can see, that young man gave me this amulet to apologize. You two still want to take it away from me?!" Jiang Limu asked grimly.
The two old men were silent and shook their heads.
"You won't be so lucky next time!"
"Hahaha! Still, that young man has so many treasured objects with him, I'm sure he comes from a rather influential family! We must make a portrait of him and put his face all over the world. Once he's spotted, we shall immediately catch him!"
Jiang Limy smiled.
Hearing this, the old man from the Jiang Family nodded.
"Good idea! Once we catch this young man, our three families will grow much, much stronger and control the Cultivation World!"
The old man from the Bai Family was impatient. "Stop talking nonsense! Take out the X-ray perspective machine. People from my Family will be here soon. I want to show them how powerful the X-ray perspective machine is!"
Jiang Limu laughed and carefully folded the Earth Shrinking Amulet to put in his pocket. Then he walked forward, made a hand gesture, and began reading the mnemonic phrase.
"Come out! My huge d*ck!"
Nothing happened.
Jiang Limu stopped smiling.
"What's going on? Why is nothing happening?!"
Jiang Limu was frantic. He was one-hundred percent sure that Xu Que had told the truth earlier, but now he realized he might have gotten himself into a bigger trouble.
"Come out! My huge d*ck!
"Come out!
"Come out!
"Come out!
"F*ck!"
Jiang Lim started sweating like an angry beast.
The old man from the Gong Family and the old man from the Bai Family were terribly upset and thought Jiang Limu was lying.
"You must be lying!" the old man from the Gong Family said grimly.
"I'm not lying!" Jiang Limu said angrily. "It's clear we were cheated by that young man again! The mnemonic phrase is fake!"
"Don't be ridiculous! You're such a shameless man!" the old man from the Bai Family cursed. "Your mother will be very disappointed once she learns you're so shameless!"
That young man could get the X-ray perspective machine out, why can't Jiang Limu? He must be lying!
"I'm not lying! We've all been tricked by that young man! This is just a hoax!"
The old man from the Gong Family was furious! "F*ck you! You motherf*cker! Give us the X-ray perspective machine!"
He walked swiftly forward and a huge amount of true core strength surged from his body; it changed into fire that blocked the surrounding area.
A sharp sword appeared in his hand.
Jiang Limu shouted, "Are you two morons! You want to fight me?!"
"If you don't get the X-ray perspective machine out, we will kill you!" the old man from the Gong Family shouted and began attacking Jiang Limu.
Seeing this, the old man from the Bai Family was shocked and could not believe he'd really attacked Jiang Limu.
The old man of the Gong Family already had grudges against Jiang Limu, so he felt extremely angry when he thought Jiang Limu was trying to pocket the X-ray perspective machine.
The old man from the Bai Family quickly waved his sword.
A ray of bright white light flashed, and the next minute, countless rays of light changed into a net about to shroud Jiang Limu.
"B*stard! You two idiots!" Jiang Limu was so angry he was about to explode.
He knew that he'd been tricked by Xu Que, but he could not be reckless and fight with these two. The only thing he could do now was run away.
Suddenly, Jiang Limu gathered a huge amount of energy in his hand and pushed the old man from the Gong Family far away, then he took out the amulet Xu Que had given him.
"Jiang Limu, you're a coward!"
"Stop him!"
The old men from the Gong Family and Bai Family dashed toward Jiang Limu at once.
The space around Jiang Limu began to twist and the next minute, he disappeared.
He managed to run away, but he also made the old man from the Gong Family and the old man from the Bai Family firmly believe he was the liar.
Meanwhile, all the cultivators in the city arrived.
They came to rescue Xu Que, but most of them, in fact, simply wanted to have the X-ray perspective machine as their own.
The big three families had always been rather intimidating, but when the cultivators knew there were just three men of the Void Training Stage present, they were not that afraid.
When they arrived, they were stunned by what they saw.
They could still see the traces of fighting, but they did not see Xu Que or the old man from the Jiang Family.
"The three old men are really mean and cruel! When they saw that young man made a fortune, they got jealous and killed him!"
"We are too late! That young man must have already been killed."
"Shame on you! Hand out the X-ray perspective machine!"
"The X-ray perspective machine belongs to the cultivators!"
The old man from the Gong Family and the old man from the Bai Family as well as the rest of the people from the big three Families became the target.

592 Untitled
Being scolded sanctimoniously by so many people, the Elders of the Gong Family and the Bai Family's faces darkened immediately. Their eyes filled with killing intent and rage.
They were "cheated" by Jiang Limu first. Now these cultivators wanted to rob them in the name of saving Xu Que and seeking justice! Anyone treated like this would be pissed off.
"Are you tired of life?" Gong Huaping, the Elder of the Gong Family yelled angrily. His formidable pressure was turned into a hurricane, which abruptly swept out from him.
Most cultivators coming from the ancient city were dabblers who planned to fish in muddy waters.
Gong Huaping's yell contained the powerful strength of cultivators at the Void Training Stage, which knocked down a lot of people and turned them green. Among these people, only a few cultivators at the Infant Transformation Stage and Void Training Stage stood.
Whoosh!
Just at this moment, dozens of lights approached from the sky; they were so fast that even the sound barrier broke and caused emanating sonic booms.
The expressions of the cultivators planning to kill the Elders of the Gong Family and the Bai Family changed abruptly.
"Oh, no! Retreat!"
"Damn! How could the people of the three big families come here so soon?"
"All of them are at the Void Training Stage! My God!"
Before landing, the lights had scared off the rabble with their earth-shattering pressure. Even the powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage or the Void Training Stage among the rabble chose to turn around and flee to the ancient city immediately.
"Hum! Scums! You can't get away!" a snort came in from the sky.
After that, a giant light sword dropped down into the crowd from the sky. The entire sword was wrapped with lightnings.
Boom!
The lightning sword exploded and into numerous electric arcs. The tempestuous energy killed many people instantly by ripping them into pieces.
"The Nine Heavens Thunder Shadow Sword?"
"Isn't it the unique skill of Jiang Yushu, the Grand Elder of the Jiang Family? Damn! How could he be here?"
"Run!"
Several powerhouses at the Void Training Stage among the cultivators coming from the ancient city were greatly terrified. The next moment, they turned around and dashed toward the ancient city directly.
Everyone else had been killed in the explosion; they disappeared from this world without leaving a drop of blood behind.
Bang!
At this moment, the dozens of figures in the sky landed on the ground and appeared in front of the people of the Gong Family and the Bai Family.
Gong Huaping and the Elder of the Bai Family led the rest people to greet the newcomers, for powerhouses of the two big families were also among those dozens of people.
Apparently, they were powerhouses at the Void Training Stage of the three big families who were garrisoning the neighboring areas. After receiving the Message Delivering Spell, they rushed over immediately.
However, to their surprise, Jiang Yushu, the Grand Elder of the Jiang Family was also in this area. He'd come here to help personally.
After landing on the ground, the people didn't waste their time.
"Where is the miraculous item?"
The Elders of the Gong Family and the Bai Family turned their eyes at the people of the Jiang Family immediately; they wore cold expressions. "The miraculous item? You should ask the Jiang Family what their plan is!"
The powerhouses of the Gong Family and the Bai Family who had come here to protect the miraculous item frowned. "What happened?"
The powerhouses of the Jiang Family were also stunned. "What do you mean?"
"Heh-heh, are you pretending to be innocent?" Gong Huaping sneered disdainfully.
"Gong Huaping, stop being so cryptic! Where is the miraculous item?" Jiang Yushu asked. Then, he looked around and furrowed his eyebrows. "Where is Jiang Limu? Wasn't he with you?"
Hearing that, Gong Huaping and the Elder of the Bai Family were immediately pissed off.
"Jiang Yushu, are you still going to act innocent now?" Gong Huaping said angrily.
The Elder of the Bai Family snorted, "Do you dare say you don't know Jiang Limu has escaped together with the miraculous item?"
"What?"
All at once, dozens of powerhouses at the Void Training Stage blanched, including Jiang Yushu.
People of the Gong Family and the Bai Family were infuriated; they immediately surrounded Jiang Yushu and his underlings.
After all, the miraculous item had been jointly purchased by the three big families. The Jiang Family had decided to take exclusive possession of it, which was totally unacceptable to the other two families.
"It's impossible! How could Jiang Limu act so absurdly?" Jiang Yushu frowned and shook his head. No one could tell that he was secretly pleased. The old stubborn Jiang Limu really did a damn good job this time!
"Heh, Jiang Yushu, is the Jiang Family going to start a war with the Gong Family and the Bai Family?" Gong Huaping smiled coldly.
"We haven't figured out the entire issue," Jiang Yushu replied calmly. "Why are you declaring the Jiang Family guilty so quickly? I think it's you who wants to start a war!"
Gong Huaping immediately started shouting filthy words. "You motherf*cker!" He had been holding back his anger until now—Jiang Yushu's reaction caused him to burst.
Gong Huaping had reached the end of his forbearance—he was so angry that even he was confronting Jiang Yushu, the powerful Grand Elder of the Jiang Family. After all, the argument was related to a miraculous item.
The Elder of the Bai Family coldly said, "It is quite clear now. Jiang Limu deliberately escaped with the miraculous item! If the Jiang Family can't provide a satisfactory solution, the Bai Family will fight to the last person!"
The next moment, the intense intent to kill gushed from the powerhouses at the Void Training Stage of the Gong Family and the Bai Family.
Jiang Yushu's facial expression changed quickly and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He had been informed of the magical ability of the miraculous item through the Message Delivering Spell. Therefore, when he knew Jiang Limu stole away the miraculous item, his heart filled with praise.
However, after pondering it carefully, he figured that if the Jiang Family got into a war with the Gong Family and the Bai Family over the miraculous item, the loss would outweigh the gain.
The Jiang Family was still developing and couldn't afford the loss caused by this kind of great battle. Moreover, once the war broke out among the three big families, their positions in the East Continent would suffer because of the damage from the war.
Finally, Jiang Yushu decided to make a temporary compromise and prepared to call Jiang Limu back.
"Don't worry. It's just a miraculous item. The Jiang Family won't take exclusive possession of it. You can wait here a moment, and I will send a Message Delivering Spell to Jiang Limu so that he can come here to confront you. As for you, Gong Huaping, you will answer for your filthy words in the future."
If Jiang Limu had the miraculous item, he should definitely hand it over. The miraculous item would be shared by the three families, which would be a harmonious end for everyone.
As for the ownership of the miraculous item in the future, that was still to be determined!
…
…
While this was happening, Xu Que, Liu Jingning, and Buttface had already put a great distance between themselves and the ancient city.
On the way, Xu Que told everything to Liu Jingning and Buttface, who were dumbfounded by what they heard. The miraculous item taken out by Xu Que had been later taken back from Jiang Limu without being detected by the others, even Jiang Limu himself.
My Gosh! This little brat is really good at scheming!
Liu Jingning was speechless for a long time and stared at Xu Que in surprise.
"Little brat. According to what you said, the old man of the Jiang Family is doomed, right?" Buttface asked.
"That's for sure. However, what I'm concerned with is whether or not a war can be started between the three big families!" Xu Que smiled faintly.
Liu Jingning didn't say a word but looked at Xu Que in quiet thought.
A war among the three big families would be a catastrophic earthquake in the East Continent.
Many lives would inevitably be lost.
The only reason for him to do so was to support Jiang Hongyan by reducing the bounty pressure from the three big families.
Horrible!
He is too horrible!
"Little brat, what are you going to do next?" Buttface asked.
Looking at the dim light in the night sky, Xu Que smiled. "Next, it's time to find Hongyan!"
After saying that, he turned to Liu Jingning with a faint smile on his face.
Liu Jingning stepped back immediately and shook her head. "Little Queque, I promised Hongyan that I would never take you to her!"
"Don't worry. I won't ask you to lead the way. I have many ways to find a person!"
"What will you do?" Liu Jingning doubtfully raised her eyebrows.
Xu Que took off one of his shoes confidently and spoke with a faint smile. "I will definitely use the unique skill of Shui Yu of the Exploding Heavens Faction—Give Direction by Throwing a Shoe!"
After that, Xu Que threw the shoe he held high in the air!

593 Directions from a Shoe
Xu Que threw a shoe high into the sky, the shoe fell to the ground, and the tip of it pointed to the southeast.
Seeing this, Liu Jingning and Buttface were speechless.
This is the trick you mentioned? Finding the way by throwing one of your shoes?
Xu Que put his hands on his waist. "You said I am a man of misfortune and since the tip of it pointed to the southeast, I think we should head to the northwest," he said confidently.
Liu Jingning was speechless and shook her head.
"You're talking nonsense! We can't head to the northwest the whole way—what if you can't find Jiang Hongyan in the end? You'll what? Throw a shoe again? You're just wasting time! The Mystery Land Trial will already be over by then!"
Xu Que shrugged. "Then tell me what to do! I have no idea! You know where she is, but you won't tell me!"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning laughed.
"Then stop looking for her! Besides, she doesn't even want to see you while she's going through the Mystery Land Trial!"
"The reason she does not want to see me is that she does not want to drag me into trouble. But still, I want to see her, because I want to flirt . . . no, no, no—I want to rescue her! You're a really cruel woman. How can you just watch her suffer?!"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning rolled her eyes, not believing a word of it. "The closer you are to her, the more unfortunate you will be! You will eventually die!"
"I don't care!" Xu Que shouted. "I would do anything for her!"
"I never thought you would say such a thing! I don't care how you end up! Now you;ll go to the South Continent!"
"No!"
"Fine! I won't tell you Jiang Hongyan's whereabouts anyway!"
"I can find where she is without your help!" Xu Que said angrily.
In fact, from the very beginning he'd decided to discover Jiang Hongyan's whereabouts through Liu Jingning, but now it seemed this wouldn't work.
Fine! I can still find Jiang Hongyan's whereabouts without her help! With the Lucky Aura, the direction the shoe points in is definitely right!
Ding! the notification of the sound of the System echoed. "The Lucky Aura has been activated! Activating the Lucky Aura will cost the host 1,000 Acting Tough Points per second!"
F*ck! A thousand Acting Tough Points per second?!
Xu Que was infuriated and threw one of his shoes high into the sky.
After a while, the shoe fell heavily to the ground.
This time, it pointed to the southwest!
"System! Turn off the Lucky Aura!" Xu Que shouted as soon as the shoe fell onto the ground.
In just five seconds, he had spent around 5,000 Acting Tough Points! He was terribly upset by this!
After upgrading the System two levels higher, he only had around 10,000 Acting Tough Points. He'd made around 20,000 Acting Tough Points in the Stone-Cutting Convention by acting tough, and now he only had around 30,000 Acting Tough Points left.
Activating the Lucky Aura is really expensive! I can at most use it five or six times with the points I've got.
Jiang Hongyan, please don't be hiding far from here! Otherwise, I will go bankrupt!
Xu Que was very down; putting on the shoe, he slowly walked forward.
Seeing this, Liu Jingning was a bit startled.
This time, the shoe had pointed in the right direction.
"Buttface! Come on! Let's go!" Xu Que flew away with Buttface and headed to the southwest.
How can he be so sure that he's heading in the right direction?! Didn't he just say he would head to the northeast just now? Is it possible for him to be a fortune-teller?
Thinking of this, Liu Jingning shook her head. This is impossible, he can't tell fortunes—if he could, he wouldn't be dragged into trouble.
"He got lucky this time! He can't possibly find Jiang Hongyan—and even if he finds her, he can do nothing about it! He's still too young and impulsive and always does things without thorough consideration."
Liu Jingning sighed and, transforming into a black shadow, began to catch up with Xu Que.
Although Xu Que did not consider consequences, this was to his benefit. If he were a person who always thought too much about consequences, he would probably still be in the Five Elements Mountain.
He wanted to see Jiang Hongyan so desperately because he knew what kind of person she was and that she would never break her promise to him.
She promised to meet me in the Bright Moon Hotel and asked Liu Jingning to take care of me, so she must be in serious trouble now!
She might have gotten into trouble with all those influential Families and Factions, but with her ability and characteristics, she can't possibly be afraid of those people. If she were, she would not show herself at the Bright Moon Hotel in the first place.There is only one thing that I am sure of: she is in deep trouble now.
Thinking of this, Xu Que made up his mind to find Liu Jingning.
In fact, before coming here he'd only wanted to take revenge to Duan Jiude and get the Genesis Earth Herbs and the Genesis Wood Herbs to bring Xiao Rou back to life.
Xiao Rou had not been brought back to life yet, and Jiang Hongyan was in great danger.
Xu Que knew he could not rush to bring Xiao Rou back to life, since even if he managed to get the two herbs from Duan Jiude, he still could not bring her back to life without the Living Holy Water.
Currently, the most important thing for him to do was to keep Jiang Hongyan safe.
Having a close relationship with Jiang Hongyan will bring me bad luck? Even if this is true, I'm not afraid! I'm so good at acting tough I'm not afraid of anything at all!
If I am really cursed then I will constantly be dragged into trouble, and I can take it as an opportunity to act tough!
…
Outside the city, Jiang Limu received a voice message from Jiang Yushu and was told to go back.
He was so desperate that he simply wanted to burst into tears. He had been dragged into huge trouble and realized that the only thing he could do was run away as far as he could.
He knew that even if he went back, no one would believe him, and he would definitely be killed if he could not hand out the X-ray perspective machine.
The next morning came. Jiang Yushu and the powerful men from other two Families grimly awaited the return of Jiang Limu.
Everyone believed that Jiang Limu had run away with the X-ray perspective machine.
Gong Huaping was furious. "Jiang Yushu, see?! How can you and your family do such a thing to us! Obviously, you are bullying the Gong Family and the Bai Family. You shall wait and see!" He stormed away.
"You shall wait and see!" the Elder of the Bai Family sneered and also left.
Jiang Yushu was both angry and worried. He realized things had gone out of control, and the entire Jiang Family would be dragged into huge turmoil if he did not solve things.
"B*stard!" Jiang Yushu said angrily. "Find out where Jiang Limu is! I don't care how much time or money it will cost! If he fights back when he is spotted, just kill him and bring me the X-ray perspective machine!" He looked away with a coldness in his eyes.
"If it were not for that sl*tty Jiang Hongyan, this sort of thing would have never happened to my family! I will definitely kill her!"

594 An Advanced Star Rank Magic Ar
Now it was quite sunny outside the Water Cloud City, which was located in the southwest part of the East Continent.
Two lights streaked above the ancient city, one after the other, then they landed on a small hill. When the intense Spiritual Qi dispersed, the figures of two people and a dog appeared—these were Xu Que, Liu Jingning and Buttface.
After leaving the Stone-Cutting Convention, Xu Que dashed toward the southwest for a night before they came across the first ancient city: the Water Cloud City.
"Finally, we've landed. Little brat, quick—let's find a restaurant and have a proper meal!" Buttface hungrily stuck out his tongue.
"Don't think about it! After hurrying along for a whole night, it's time to correct the direction!" Xu Que's eyes widened. He took off one of his shoes and prepared to throw it again.
He had to confirm whether the direction he'd chosen was correct. Last night, the shoe-throwing ended up pointing toward the southwest. But Jiang Hongyan might now be in some other place, and if that were the case then last night's direction would be useless.
"Little Queque, it's useless to do that!" Standing behind Xu Que, Liu Jingning watched him take off his shoe again. She smiled and shook her head.
She'd never heard of this method being used to locate a person, and that was because it was totally unreliable. It was impossible to find people using this childish method.
"It works!" Xu Que calmly replied with a smile.
Grabbing the shoe tightly in his hand, Xu Que started calculating the time to activate the Lucky Aura. This aura always resulted in a high consumption of Acting Tough Points per second. It was horrible!
Ding!
"The Lucky Aura is activated. One thousand Acting Tough Points will now be consumed each second!"
When the warning tone of the System sounded, Xu Que immediately threw his shoe in the air.
Patter!
The shoe flew up a bit and quickly dropped back to the ground. This time the toe cap was pointing south.
"Phew!"
Xu Que deactivated the Lucky Aura immediately. He'd used the Lucky Aura for four seconds, which was one second shorter than last night; that is to say, he'd saved 1,000 Acting Tough Points!
Xu Que was quite satisfied with that. Moreover, he'd corrected the direction by throwing the shoe again.
The direction changed to the south from the southwest. Maybe Jiang Hongyan was heading for the south now; or maybe both results of the shoe-throwing were incorrect!
After all, the Lucky Aura only made the user luckier. It couldn't guarantee that the toe cap would point in the right direction every time.
However, Xu Que chose to believe in the results of the shoe-throwing. Without any hesitation, he put on the shoe and dashed toward the south, grabbing Buttface.
Liu Jingning was surprised. She didn't know the exact location of Jiang Hongyan, but she knew her rough whereabouts.
Xu Que had performed his shoe-throwing method twice, and the results were quite close to the location of Jiang Hongyan, which seemed unbelievable.
Could it be that this guy is not influenced by bad luck? No—the things that happened yesterday prove he has been pursued by the bad luck. But the things that are happening today are quite miraculous! Could it be that he has found the way to get rid of the bad luck? Liu Jingning was confused. She pondered it, furrowing her eyebrows for a while, then she jumped into the sky again and started to follow Xu Que closely.
She was so eager to investigate the reason. Is he really so lucky that he can get the correct direction, or has he found a method to overcome the bad luck?
However, Liu Jingning was shocked over and over again during the journey. She was completely confused.
During the next three days they continued forward. Whenever they came across an ancient city, Xu Que stopped to throw the shoe to keep correcting the direction, which was always between west and south.
At such a speed, Liu Jingning had no doubt that Xu Que would really find Jiang Hongyan.
"Little Queque, what have you been doing the past few days?" She finally couldn't help but ask.
After all, it was incredible. How could he find the right direction throwing shoes?
"Ha! Why do you seem so anxious?" Xu Que smiled. "That means this direction is correct, right?"
Seeing Liu Jingning's surprised expression, he could confirmed the direction was correct. Otherwise, this woman would have mocked him for a long time.
"I have to admit that the direction is correct! However, I still can't believe you can find Jiang Hongyan among millions of people only by throwing shoe!"
It was hard for her to believe Xu Que's method could work—it was like looking for a needle in a haystack! No, it was more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack!
Hearing her comments, Xu Que silently smiled.
This proved the Lucky Aura was helpful. It could get rid of the influence of the bad luck! As long as he had enough Acting Tough Points, he could absolutely find Jiang Hongyan.
Over the past few days, Xu Que hadn't run into trouble. If he came across trouble, he just flew away without stopping.
He did cut open the ancient stones on the journey and had obtained the precious items hidden in the stones, which were from ancient times. Most of them were incomplete magic artifacts, which were seriously damaged and basically useless. However, Xu Que asked the System to recycle them and obtained a large amount of Artifact Refining Essences.
A large Dragon Soul Element was hidden in an ancient stone, which was also quite time-honored. This made Xu Que crazy with delight. Being a Two-Star Dragon Soul Element, it was comparable to the Two-Star Dragon Soul Element obtained by Xu Que through mergence.
If he also merged the two Two-Star Dragon Soul Elements, the probability of obtaining an Advanced Star Rank magic art would be enhanced remarkably—to around 100 percent.
However, Xu Que now had other things to consider. Now he had the assistance of the Lucky Aura, so he thought it was unnecessary to pursue the probability of 100 percent anymore. If he opened both Two-Star Dragon Soul Elements separately, he might obtain two Advanced Star Rank magic arts. So, why not?
But the System told him only one magic art could be obtained from the Dragon Soul Elements. It could be at the Basic Star Rank, the Intermediate Star Rank or the Advanced Star Rank.
The difference between ranks was only the completeness of the magic art!
For example, if the magic art was at the Basic Star Rank, it would be incomplete by only containing several moves. Only the Advanced Star Rank magic art was complete!
Therefore, it would be useless for him to have a lot of Dragon Soul Elements. He could also merge them directly to obtain the Advanced Star Rank magic art once and for all!
"System, merge both Two-Star Dragon Soul Elements first!" Xu Que murmured to the System in his heart.
Next time they stopped to correct their direction by throwing his shoe, he planned to open the Dragon Soul Element the moment the Lucky Aura activated!
Therefore, before that, he had to merge both Two-Star Dragon Soul Elements to maximize the probability of obtaining the Advanced Star Rank magic art to minimize the risk.
Whoosh!
The System interface immediately flashed. The two Dragon Soul Elements intertwined and merged with each other and finally turned into a lump of green light.
Xu Que found the property of the Dragon Soul Element had been changed.
[Three-Star Dragon Soul Element]
The probability of getting a Basic Star Rank magic was 100 percent, the probability of getting an Intermediate Star Rank magic art was 100 percent, and the probability of getting an Advanced Star Rank magic art was 80 percent.
"Nice!"
Xu Que was immediately overjoyed. At the probability of 80 percent, a common man could obtain an Advanced Star Rank magic art without the assistance of the Lucky Aura.
Of course, it was still a little bit risky. The probabilities of obtaining the Basic Star Rank magic art and the Intermediate Star Rank magic art were both 100 percent. If he prioritized magic art with the probability of 100 percent, he might be unable to get the Advanced Star Rank magic art, of which the probability was only 80 percent.
Therefore, Xu Que decided to choose a safer way. He took off his shoe and activated the Lucky Aura. When he tossed the shoe into the air, he opened the Three-Star Dragon Soul Element directly!
Whoosh!
The Dragon Soul Element in the System Package dispersed and turned into an ancient jade slip. At the same time, the warning tone of the System came in!
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in obtaining an Advanced Star Rank magic art: The Great Ultimate Derivation Dragon & Elephant Seal! Are you going to learn it?"

595 The Great Ultimate Derivation Dragon Elephant Seal
"The great ultimate derivation dragon and elephant seal?"
Hearing this, Xu Que was amazed.
He instantly turned off the Lucky Aura and began carefully reading the introduction of this incantation.
The great ultimate derivation dragon and elephant seal: this extremely powerful incantation was created by the Dragon tribe after 3,000 trials and experiments. There were five seals in total, and completing every seal would give someone the power of the dragon and the elephant . . .
While reading this, Xu Que got more and more excited.
He knew the character "大" should be pronounced like the character "太", and the character "衍" referred to the derivation, so the name of the incantation itself referred to the derivation of Tai Chi.
But there are five seals in total . . . so this can't have anything to do with the Tai Chi itself. I think it must be even more powerful than Tai Chi.
The five seals were the Fantasy Killing Seal, the Heavenly Thunder Seal, the Void Annihilation Seal, the Immortal Seal, and the Buddha Seal.
Although each seal sounded marvelous, Xu Que still thought there was something wrong.
Since it was created by the Dragon tribe, why on earth does it seem it has nothing to do with the dragon? Judging from the name of the five seals, it has much more to do with being immortal or Buddha.
"Can it be possible its creator is also someone who likes to act tough?!" Xu Que laughed and grew more interested in the five seals.
Since this incantation is one of the star ranks, it must be very very powerful!
"System! I want to cultivate this incantation!"
Bang!
A huge noise was suddenly echoing inside Xu Que's head, as if something had exploded.
The jade slip vanished and changed into a ray of light. The light flew between his eyebrows. Countless ancient and mysterious words and pictures appeared inside his brain and flew all over his body.
His flesh and every vein was sealed with these mysterious words and pictures, then the light gradually darkened and at last disappeared.
Finally, his body went back to normal.
Xu Que looked at the screen of the System and found something had changed.
Fantasy Killing Seal: 0 percent
Heavenly Thunder Seal: 30 percent
Void Annihilation Seal: 0 percent
Immortal Seal: not available
Buddha Seal: not available
What?! Thirty percent of the Heavenly Thunder Seal? This must have something to do with the thunder refining essence inside my body. The new incantation must have merged with the that of the ball lightning. But why on earth are the last two not even available?!
"System! What's happening?" Xu Que asked. "Why are the last two advanced incantations unavailable?"
Ding! "According to the rules of the incantation, the host must complete the first three incantations before using the last two."
Hearing this, Xu Que was speechless.
After the thunder tribulation, there was already a huge amount of thunder refining essence inside his body; he had even created the incantation of ball lightning himself, and he just managed to reach to 30 percent of the entire cultivation process of the Heavenly Thunder Seal.
Does this mean that once I complete the cultivation of the Heavenly Thunder Seal, it will be three times stronger than the incantation of the ball lightning?
When I complete the cultivation of the last two incantations, I will be invincible.
Xu Que was getting more and more excited.
All of a sudden, Xu Que's entire body trembled and he could move his body freely again.
The entire process only lasted a few seconds, but the energy gave out by him greatly startled Liu Jingning and Buttface.
"Holy sh*t! What were you doing just now?! You were cultivating some sort of new incantation?"
Xu Que smiled. "Yes! I did!"
"What?! You threw the shoe up into the sky while cultivating some new incantations?"
Xu Que nodded calmly. "There's nothing to be surprised about! I can even show you what I just achieved!"
"You mean you indeed managed to complete your cultivation on some new incantations while you were throwing your shoe?!" Liu Jingning exclaimed, on the verge of collapsing.
As soon as the shoe fell to the ground, Xu Que had suddenly frozen. The next minute, his body began to shine and give out a great energy.
I thought he was in some sort of trouble . . .
Normally, when a cultivator is working, he finds somewhere quiet to avoid being disturbed by others. This is because once he is disturbed, things get out of control. But he easily completes cultivations like this?! He's really quite something!
Liu Jingning stared at Xu Que as if he were some sort of monster. She finally realized why Jiang Hongyan was so optimistic about Xu Que's future.
Meanwhile, Xu Que got rather excited and glanced over at Liu Jingning.
"The shoe is pointing southwest again. I think we're about to find Jiang Hongyan!"
Liu Jingning shook her head. "Little Que Que, to be honest, I already knew she was around here somewhere, but I don't know exactly where she is at the moment. You got us here simply by throwing your shoe, which was not my expectation. But even so, do you really think you can find her by continuing to throw your shoe?"
"Of course I can!" Xu Que said.
Liu Jingning was speechless.
"But are you really sure?! As we are getting closer and closer to Hongyan, you might be more and more misfortunate!" Clearly, she was not joking about the so-called misfortune theory!
"Don't worry! I'll be fine!" Xu Que said confidently, patting his chest. "I've met many ups and downs here in the Cultivation World, and I am always very determined, brave, and tough!"
Bang!
Lightning suddenly bolted across the sky and struck right next to Xu Que's feet.
"F*ck!"

596 So what?
Xu Que was quite confused.
It was strange that lightning had suddenly struck near him!
Liu Jingning was also shocked and came to after a momentary daze.
She had hardly finished speaking when misfortune came upon Xu Que, which dumbfounded her. She suddenly started to worry about the future of Xu Que.
However, Xu Que didn't stress about it much. On the contrary, he was oddly calm.
A man dogged by misfortune might choke to death drinking water. That lightning aimed for me and missed, so there is nothing to fear!
Moreover, as the King of Tough-Acting, even the Heavenly Tribulation can't scare me. How could I be afraid of such a tiny lightning?
At the thought of this, Xu Que was very pleased and smiled. "See? Even the lightning didn't hit me, which means I—"
Rumble!
Before Xu Que could finish his words, another big bang came in from the sunny sky, and a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm streaked toward his head.
"D*mn! Is there no end to it?"
Xu Que was quite annoyed, then he moved away to evade the lightning instantly.
Bang!
Again, the lightning missed its target but violently hit a rock, creating a giant pit in the ground and crushing a lot of rocks.
"F*ck! If you do it again, I will definitely blow you up!" instead of looking at the ground, Xu Que shouted filthy words and pointed at the sky.
Liu Jingning was dumbfounded.
What is he going to do?
Is he insane?
He has been dogged by misfortune that can even attract lightning to him! Never mind if he doesn't escape, but how dare he abuse the heavens? Isn't he afraid of divine retribution?
How reckless is this guy?
Liu Jingning was shocked. Luckily, she was not a witness when Xu Que crossed his Heavenly Tribulation; otherwise, she might have been very frightened.
After all, the cultivators believed in the existence of "the Way of Heaven" and in reincarnation, which were treated as taboos. They didn't want to mention them. For what goes around comes around, and everything they did was embodied through the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, Xu Que wasn't worried about any of this. Since he had started his way of tough-acting, his appetite had even become better.
The core of cultivation was mind training. But his plan was to do whatever he wanted; otherwise, cultivation would be meaningless for him.
"Xu Que, stop your reckless behavior!" Having no time to guess whether or not there would be more lightning strikes, Liu Jingning pulled Xu Que back.
The sky became quiet at this moment. It didn't release more lightning because of Xu Que's abuse.
Xu Que murmured, "See, I have to curse it—now it is obedient!"
"Enough! Just leave when you still have time!" Liu Jingning worried a greater disaster would come if he kept talking like that!
"Ah? Where should I go? I am about to find Hongyan! How could I leave now?" Xu Que shook his head, then he put on his shoes and was about to hit the road.
Liu Jingning frowned and spoke with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Are you still going to look for her? You just barely approached her position and were attacked by inexplicable thunder tribulations! Have you considered what will happen if you find her?"
"Of course I have! I could be smashed by a meteor suddenly, or I could die of over-excitement seeing my extremely handsome face in a mirror! Those kinds of things would end my journey, but that is why I don't believe they will happen. Even if they occur, I will not be terrified!" Xu Que smiled.
He was quite confident. If a meteor really fell on him, he could just evade it by activating the Lucky Aura. There was truly nothing to fear.
Seeing his mischievous expression, Liu Jingning felt very anxious. She shook her head. "You don't know how serious it is when a man is dogged by misfortune. That is also why everyone in the East Continent is so eager to kill Jiang Hongyan, for what happened to Hongyan's parents in those years really scared all of them. This is a dead end! Why do you want to get involved in it?"
"Her parents? What happened in those years?" When Liu Jingning mentioned Jiang Hongyan's parents, Xu Que immediately became curious.
Jiang Hongyan had never mentioned her parents. The only time they came up was in the Water Nation, and she had only said that the artifact was left behind by her mother, but she didn't mention her after that.
Now that Liu Jingning had mentioned this topic, his interest had immediately been piqued.
"It is no longer a secret in the East Continent, so it is okay to tell you." After pondering it for a while, Liu Jingning began the story. She planned to scare Xu Que off by telling him the things that had happened in those years so he would be aware of the seriousness of this issue.
After all, it was quite difficult to describe how it felt to be dogged by misfortune! Although many cultivators had heard of it, almost nobody had seen it with their own eyes.
The only example was Jiang Hongyan's parents: Jiang Shanhe and Yi Qing'er.
Yi Qing'er, Jiang Hongyan's mother, was a woman doomed to experience misfortune in her life. However, when she was young, she wasn't haunted by misfortune. It started after she married Jiang Shanhe and became pregnant with Jiang Hongyan.
Someone said Yi Qing'er was implicated by Jiang Hongyan, who was the Heavenly Cursed Lone Star and a calamitous beauty.
However, very few people agreed with this judgment. Old Man of the Heaven Secret, the leader of the Heaven Secret Pavilion, used to practice divination for Yi Qing'er. This resulted in the misfortune being caused by Yi Qing'er herself. Together with the rocky fate of Jiang Shanhe, their marriage resulted in serious consequences. They even passed all their misfortune to Jiang Hongyan.
At that time, the Patriarch of the Jiang Family hadn't yet started his secluded cultivation. He attached great importance to Jiang Shanhe and his wife. He even invited Old Man of the Heaven Secret to solve the problem for them. However, even the Old Man of the Heaven Secret, who was good at fortune-telling and planning carefully by taking every conceivable possibility into consideration, said it had gone beyond his skills. And their problem could only be solved by changing fate.
Therefore, the Jiang Family invested extraordinary resources into solving this issue. After several decades, they managed to find two parts of the One Turning into Three Pure Pellucid Ones. However, before Jiang Shanhe and his wife had time to learn it, both of them died because of their misfortune.
The patriarch of the Jiang Family was heartbroken over their deaths, so he was possessed by the Inner Demons during his cultivation, which almost killed him. He then started the secluded cultivation to withdraw from the world.
After that, the Jiang Family took a lot of continuous hits. From young sovereigns toughening themselves to the family businesses, big problems emerged one after another.
Everyone pointed the finger at Jiang Hongyan, who could bring calamities to her family as a calamitous beauty.
No one wanted to be her friend. When Jiang Hongyan reached the Golden Core Stage, she had to leave the Jiang Family alone. Since then, the Jiang Family had witnessed a turnaround and recovered gradually to stabilize their status as the number one family of the East Continent.
But now Jiang Hongyan had returned to the East Continent, which greatly worried about not only the Jiang Family, but also the rest of the big families and sects. Because she was a cultivator with great talent, her rise was the last thing the big families and sects wanted to see. They were more terrified that if she could really change her fate, the situation of the entire East Continent would be changed.
After hearing the complete history of Jiang Hongyan's family from Liu Jingning, Xu Que was speechless.
He thought the former owner of his body had been quite miserable. He was adopted by the Emperor as a lonely and helpless child. Then, he was treated as elixir and his spiritual root was harvested. After that, he was killed and his body had been dumped in wilderness.
Now he knew Jiang Hongyan's life experience was even more miserable. She was suspected of wearing out her parents, then she was disfavored and hated by the entire family. Later, she had to gravitate to the Five Elements Mountain alone. When she returned to the East Continent, she was still regarded as a public enemy hunted by everyone on the continent.
All these miserable experiences were caused by her misfortune.
"Well, do you still think it's nothing to be haunted by misfortune?" Seeing Xu Que speechless, Liu Jingning thought his determination had wavered so she continued trying to persuade him. "Her parents had reached the Void Training Stage, but they could change nothing and died on their way back to the Jiang Family inexplicably. Now Jiang Hongyan has returned to the East Continent. Her misfortune has become even more violent, almost as if it has been released completely. If you approach her, you will be more miserable than her parents!"
"I know!" Xu Que was unexpectedly calm. He nodded and glanced at Liu Jingning with a smile. "I know the consequences of being haunted by misfortune are very serious. So what? I told you that I have never been terrified by being haunted by misfortune!"
Click!
At this moment, Buttface, bored by their conversation, started to fiddle with the tape recorder. He pushed down the "play" button inadvertently. Then, the powerful and clear singing came out from the recorder.
"It is so lonely to be invincible!
"It is so empty to be invincible!
"Standing on the summit alone, chilly winds blow continuously!
"Who could understand my loneliness?"

597 Don“t You Think It“s Rather Strange?
Buttface was startled by the sound.
Liu Jingning remained very calm, however, since she was still thinking about what Xu Que had just said to her.
He knows the consequences of getting close to Hongyan. Why on earth does he insist on finding her? Is he really not afraid of death?
Gradually, Liu Jingning was also moved by the sound of the song. Seeing Xu Que smiling, she was deeply surprised.
Is he being courageous or reckless?! Confident or arrogant?!
…
A mild breeze gently touched the hair on Xu Que's forehead, and his clothes moved along with the breeze.
He turned around and smiled at Buttface, ready to praise the dog for turning on the recorder at the right time.
He'd managed to act tough again and earned 1,000 Acting Tough Points!
In the past, 1,000 Acting Tough Points might not have seemed a big deal to him. But now that he had no more than 10,000 Acting Tough Points, with the extra 1,000 Acting Tough Points he could use the Lucky Aura for one more second.
Xu Que was very happy.
"Great! We shall leave here now." He picked up Buttface and flew into the sky.
Liu Jingning was about to say something but decided to keep silent.
She finally realized, after asking him over a dozen times not to look for Hongyan, that she could not change Xu Que's mind.
"Jiang Hongyan," Liu Jingning murmured, "I tried my best to stop him! If something bad happens to him, I can't save him! I'm sorry!"
Then, she forced out a smile. "I used to pity you quite a lot! But this time, Hongyan, I envy you. You've got a man who would risk his life to be near you!"
She changed into a shadow and caught up with Xu Que.
…
They didn't stop until the next day.
During their flight, Xu Que had met many troubles.
From time to time, some peculiar stones flew at him and a couple of times almost hit him in the eye.
Sometimes a lightning bolt would strike down at him; if it were not for his speedy dodging, he would have been hit by one.
What was strange was that every time Xu Que managed to dodge the lightning, the lightning would strike at a cultivator walking on the ground. It was as if the sky had guessed Xu Que would not be hit and so kept waiting until a cultivator was walking by.
Those struck by the lightning thought it was Xu Que casting it down, so they got extremely angry and began chasing after him.
Xu Que didn't care and continued flying so quickly that the cultivators could not possibly catch up with him.
Buttface was playing with the recorder and somehow played the song called "Meeting in 1998."
More and more cultivators were being accidentally hit by the lightning.
"You b*stard! How dare you sneak-attack me with lightning! Stop running!"
Then the sound of the song came: "Come come come! Let's meet in 1998!"
Hearing this, the people struck by lightning exclaimed:
"Wait! Is he declaring a fight with us?! Young man, where shall we meet?!"
"Let's meet in the beautiful spring, with the gentle breeze blowing; let's meet in the best time of our life . . . "
"What?! What on earth do you mean?!"
"Our heart is connected with each other, every year, we come here and meet with each other, no matter where I am or how far I am away from you, I will always come to meet you . . . "
Hearing this, all the cultivators were stunned.
Impertinence! My heart is not connected with you!
'Meeting you every year? No matter where you are you will come and meet us?!'
This is all bulls*it!
Xu Que was also angry. "F*ck! Turn off the recorder. Otherwise, I will smash it into pieces!"
"Okay! Fine!"
Buttface quickly turned the device off and hid it. He loved the recorder very much and was afraid that Xu Que really meant what he said.
Xu Que was still flying in the sky with Buttface, who kept singing his version of the music he'd played earlier.
"Come come come! I want to sleep with your father!
"Come come come! I also want to sleep with your father!"
…
At last, Xu Que managed to get rid of those cultivators.
Liu Jingning was just behind Xu Que and was terribly troubled by what had just happened to Xu Que.
She sent him a voice message.
"Little Xu Que, I think we'd better stop and take a rest. Don't you think what just happened to you is really strange?!"
"I don't think so! You told me I am cursed and that I'd become misfortunate! So what?!"
"I don't mean that—I mean the cultivators!"
"What do you mean?!"
Hearing this, Xu Que stopped and looked at Liu Jingning, puzzled.
"Right beneath us is a place where few cultivators come since this area is the most desolate place in the Eastern Continent. Normally, you can't spot a regular man, not to mention the cultivators. The reason Jiang Hongyan chose this place is that she doesn't want to drag anyone into trouble after she starts to go through the Mystery Land Trial. In spite of this, we've seen quite a lot cultivators."
Hearing this, Xu Que was surprised. "So you mean there couldn't be so many cultivators here?!"
Is it possible that because I am cursed, wherever I go people will follow me and get into trouble with me even if they don't want to?
That's impossible!
Liu Jingning nodded. "It's peculiar enough to spot even one cultivator here, and at this point, we've met around a hundred. Something must be not right!"
Xu Que looked around and found nothing but barren land. The Spiritual Qi here was also very thin, and this made the location not an ideal place for cultivators to do the cultivation.
There could only be two reasons for so many cultivators to be here.
One possibility was that a treasured object had been spotted here, and then this attracted many cultivators. The other possibility was that they had probably come here to kill Jiang Hongyan.
Xu Que had come to save Jiang Hongyan's life.

598 Not Challenging
That day, the deeds of a scoundrel were spreading among the cultivators in the surrounding areas.
"That guy always flies over someone and unexpectedly drops lightning, then he just flees. He is shameless!"
"He flees really fast and no one can catch up with him!"
"It is a kind of provocative act. Instead of killing people, he just attacks them with lightning to fling down a challenge!"
"I've also heard that. It seems people of the Jiang Family and the Gong Family all got hit by lightning. As they were chasing that guy, he just asked them to fight him at ninety-eight. But nobody knows where this ninety-eight is!"
"No, no! I was told that an apprentice of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect was hit by lightning. When he tried to chase that guy, he said he wanted to fight the victim's parents!"
"He is too unscrupulous! I've heard he is also very young. I didn't expect he could be so disrespectful to people of the previous generation!"
Many people were talking about this issue, and said they would definitely kill this guy if they came across him.
This kind of person was way too arrogant, unscrupulous, and shameless! He had to be erased from this world.
As the cultivators discussed this issue, they headed for the only ancient city in the area. After the desertion of this area, the ancient city became desolate and uninhabited. Because of this it was called "Desolation City." It became packed with around 1,000 cultivators overnight.
…
Apparently, Xu Que's speculation was correct.
He settled down in Desolation City with Liu Jingning. It was quite easy to learn the purposes of the cultivators here. There were so many in the city that Xu Que and Liu Jingning could get the information by just asking any one of them.
All of the cultivators had come to this area to hunt down Jiang Hongyan.
"Just now I captured three cultivators at the Original Infant Stage. They told me someone invited Old Man of the Heaven Secret Pavilion to predict Jiang Hongyan's location with divination. They also knew Jiang Hongyan's plans to cross her Heavenly Tribulation here. Therefore, all the big families and sects have sent people here and asked for reinforcement. Still a lot more people are coming."
Liu Jingning appeared in a corner of Desolation City, then she returned to Xu Que and quietly told him the information she'd gathered.
Originally, Jiang Hongyan planned to cross her Heavenly Tribulation in this uninhabited area. Liu Jingning had originally decided to stay out of it. However, now so many people planned to kill Liu Jingning when she was crossing her Heavenly Tribulation, so Liu Jingning couldn't stand idle anymore.
She had always treated Jiang Hongyan as her friend, even sister. Although their identities made them rivals, Liu Jingning would help Jiang Hongyan in dire circumstances without hesitation.
Therefore, when they arrived at Desolation City, Liu Jingning started to collect information before Xu Que had been moved to action. Instead of persuading Xu Que to leave, she would now join him in helping Jiang Hongyan.
Xu Que was also quite serious. He hadn't seen Jiang Hongyan's Heavenly Tribulation before, but he knew that it was complicated.
After all, the One Turning into Three Pure Pellucid Ones, cultivated by her, was a Star Rank skill.
The Ancient Five Elemental Arts, cultivated by Xu Que, was just a High-Grade skill. As a result, his Heavenly Tribulations were much more difficult than others. Therefore, Jiang Hongyan, who was cultivating a Star Rank skill, had to overcome unimaginable difficulties to cross her Heavenly Tribulation.
Jiang Hongyan's One Turning into Three Pure Pellucid Ones was a skill which could change fate. It would make the Heavenly Tribulation more dangerous, so there was only the possibility of a narrow escape from death for Jiang Hongyan.
Moreover, the big families and sects of the East Continent would also make trouble for her. Therefore, it was correct to say Jiang Hongyan was facing her certain death.
"We must prevent these people from finding Hongyan. No… I think we'd better take action first!" Intense, murderous intent flashed in Xu Que's eyes. The ferocious aura accumulated through killing numerous people gushed out of his body again.
Liu Jingning stopped Xu Que immediately. She shook her head, saying, "Don't be rash! There are over 1,000 cultivators in the city. Most of them are disbanded cultivators who have just arrived from nearby places. The main troops are still marching toward here. You can't kill them all!"
Liu Jingning became more serious. "Also, all the big families and sects have sent their powerhouse at the Void Training Stage. Many Holy Sons and Holy Virgins are also on their way here. All of them are planning to kill Jiang Hongyan!"
Xu Que frowned. "What? Why do these Holy Sons and Holy Virgins hate Jiang Hongyan so much?"
"Jiang Hongyan was the best among her peers because of her extraordinary talent," Liu Jingning said coldly. "These Holy Sons and Holy Virgins were nothing next to her at that time. Now all of them are targeting Jiang Hongyan. One of them used to say the one who kills Jiang Hongyan will be the number one Holy Son or Holy Virgin in the East Continent!"
"F*ck!" Xu Que was irritated. He clenched his fists tightly and blue veins appeared on his hands. He snorted, "Who the h*ll do they think they are? How dare they treat Hongyan as prey?"
"That's the reason I stopped you from acting recklessly. I know your strength is quite powerful, and you could even fight powerhouses at the Void Training Stage. But what if you have to face ten, or even one hundred powerhouses at the Void Training Stage at the same time?"
Xu Que quieted down. He was not terrified by ten or one hundred powerhouses at the Void Training Stage. But what Liu Jingning said was right: now he shouldn't be reckless.
The biggest problem Jiang Hongyan faced was not these scums of the East Continent but the Heavenly Tribulation.
After calming himself down, Xu Que said, "I will kill all of them, even if they send ten or one hundred powerhouses at the Void Training Stage. However, the pressing issue now is to find Hongyan!"
"Exactly! We should find Jiang Hongyan first and discuss our possible countermeasures!" Liu Jingning nodded.
Xu Que took off his shoes and smiled. "We don't need countermeasures. I will help her cross the Heavenly Tribulation! As for these scum, if they dare make troubles, they will never be able to get away."
"Are you going to . . . help her cross the Heavenly Tribulation?" Liu Jingning was confused, then she smiled wryly and shook her head. "Little Queque, I know you are quite powerful, but you are still a cultivator at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage. Jiang Hongyan is going to cross the 69 Heavenly Tribulations. No one could help her cross that easily!"
"I know! I could just absorb some thunder and lightning!" Xu Que said with a smile. If he could absorb thunder from the 69 Heavenly Tribulations, he could make great progress in the cultivation of the Heavenly Thunder Seal of his Great Ultimate Derivation Dragon & Elephant Seal!
Liu Jingning was quite curious. She remembered she used to sense a familiar aura in the lightning while trapped by Xu Que's lightning chain. Now she realized it was really the thunder from the Heavenly Tribulation! This young man could absorb energy from the Heavenly Tribulations!
However, she still shook her head and sighed, "Little Queque, I'm afraid you can't help her this time. This time Jiang Hongyan has to change her fate. Therefore, the Heavenly Tribulation she will face will be much more destructive than the normal 69 Heavenly Tribulations!"
Liu Jingning remembered her experience crossing her 69 Heavenly Tribulations, which had been extremely dangerous. Because of the skill she'd cultivated, when her Heavenly Tribulations were about to end, she had been attacked by a Heavenly Thunder of a Purple Cloud. Luckily, she had prepared properly before; otherwise, she might have been killed on the spot!
Now Jiang Hongyan was about to cross her Heavenly Tribulation and change her fate. The Heavenly Tribulation would probably be extremely horrible!
"Yes! What you say is right!"
Xu Que winked. "The Heavenly Tribulation Hongyan will face won't be that simple. However, I do hope powerful Heavenly Tribulations l will come. I just hope they don't drop those rubbish Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud or Ancient Catastrophe. They are not challenging at all!"

599 The Whereabouts of Jiang Hongyan
Hearing Xu Que, Liu Jingning was speechless.
The Heavenly Thunder of the Purple Cloud only existed as a legend. If any of the Holy Sons or Holy Virgins experienced it, they would definitely be frightened. As for the Ancient Catastrophe, I have not even seen it in my entire life.
In her view, Xu Que was really an extremely powerful man and a genius, who had the potential. But when it came to the thunder tribulation, she doubted that Xu Que could survive it.
"Where should we go next? I saw her once here, and now I'm sure that she's not here anymore."
"Stand aside please, I am about to throw my shoe." Xu Que help up a shoe in his hand.
Liu Jingning was shocked.
"You mean you are going to find the path by throwing your shoe again?"
She thought Xu Que was simply joking and had no idea what he was doing. However, Xu Que had indeed found the way to this city by throwing his shoe...
"Yes," Xu Que replied. "If you think I'm joking, do you have a better option? If you do, tell me then!"
Better option? No matter what, throwing the shoe up into the sky is too ridiculous for words... but, it seems that for now, it may be the best option.
Thinking this, Liu Jingning forced a smile and shook her head.
For the first time in her life, she felt hopeless.
Anyone who had known her before this would be stunned by her face.
As the Saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction and a powerful and ruthless woman, she could not think of a better way to find Jiang Hongyan.
"If you can't think of a better option, then step aside please and behave yourself. I'll show you what I am about to do!"
Xu Que summoned his System.
Behave myself? You're much much younger than me, and you dare talk to me in a tone like that?
Liu Jingning frowned and was rather upset by the way Xu Que talked to her. Especially since, in her view, Xu Que was just a child.
In the past, she would have definitely taught Xu Que a lesson, but now she was just a bit upset. Soon, even this feeling faded away.
In Cultivation, it was always someone's competence, not his age, that mattered. But even so, Xu Que should not talk to Liu Jingning in such a way.
During this journey, Liu Jingning had already started regarding Xu Que as someone who was on the same level as herself.
Xu Que activated his Lucky Aura and threw his shoe high up into the sky.
After a short while, the shoe landed pointing to the southeast.
Xu Que quickly turned off the Lucky Aura. "Southeast? What a pity," he sighed. "Throwing the shoe, I can only tell the direction Jiang Hongyan is in, not the distance between her and I! But, anyway, we should head to the southeast."
At this point, knowing Jiang Hongyan's whereabouts was quite something for Xu Que.
"Southeast?! Crikey!" Liu Jingning exclaimed. "This can't be possible! I think she must have gone to the place that she shouldn't go to!"
"What do you mean?"
Xu Que stared at Liu Jingning and didn't notice that he was still standing on the ground with one bare foot.
"Southeast of the Desolation City is the Celestial Burial Valley, which is one of the Nine Deathtraps!" Liu Jingning murmured with a rather serious face.
Hearing this, Buttface proudly said, "I've been to that place seven times, and I am still fine! There is no need to be afraid!"
"F*ck off!" Xu Que pushed Buttface aside. He thought Buttface must be boasting again.
When Xu Que heard the phrase "Nine Deathtraps," he immediately recalled the "Heaven Dragon Cave" he heard about in the Stone-Cutting Convention since it was also one of the Nine Deathtraps. Even people from the Jiang Family and the Gong Family did not have the balls to step inside and only dared to dig out the stones on the outskirts of the Heaven Dragon Cave. Even this had cost the two Families many lives.
Therefore, Xu Que became very worried when he heard the phrase "Nine Deathtraps."
Xu Que knew Jiang Hongyan well, and he was sure that she would go to the Celestial Burial Valley.
The reason Jiang Hongyan had left the Bright Moon Hotel was that she did not want to drag other innocent people into trouble.
"She must have gone to the Celestial Burial Valley!" Liu Jingning said abruptly.
"This stupid woman!" Xu Que said angrily. "She still cares about others even if she knows those people want nothing but to kill her. She is really naive!"
In the Cultivation World, showing mercy to one's enemy would only bring destruction to himself.
Liu Jingning shook her head and sighed, "She doesn't want to make other innocent people suffer!"
Xu Que was furious. "Apart from us, no one who comes here is innocent!"
"You are right!" Liu Jingning said, looking at Xu Que gently. "The leaders should all be hanged, but their offspring and their families should not be killed!"
"What?" Xu Que was confused.
"I can tell you still have not realized the seriousness of the misfortune that Hongyan could bring to people around her!" she sighed.
"Once the tribulation starts, the air of misfortune will permeate. Once someone intends to kill her, she is bound to fight back, and if he dies in a space full of the air of misfortune, his entire family and later generations will be misfortunate!"
Hearing this, Xu Que was stunned.
This is insane! If someone is killed in a space surrounded by the air of misfortune, his entire family is cursed?! Wait a minute, if this is true, then why there are still so many people trying to kill her?
"I know what you are thinking. In fact, not many people know this. I simply happened to learn of this when I met her not very long ago. She doesn't want others to know about this and doesn't want others to suffer."
Hearing this, Xu Que was relieved and laughed.
She knows many people come here to kill her, but she doesn't warn them about the consequences of the air of misfortune. She decides to hide, and if anyone who happens to find her and touch the air of misfortune, she will not be the one who suffers.
If I had this so-called 'air of misfortune,' I wouldn't when I'm about to go through the tribulation. Instead, I would choose a place where my enemies gather . . .
"Let's go! I guess she must be staying in the outskirts of the Celestial Burial Valley!"
"Sure!" Xu Que nodded.
I wonder how she'll react when she sees me...

600 Convergence of Powerhouses
Although Desolation City was the nearest city to the Celestial Burial Valley, one still needed three to five days to complete the journey.
On the way, Xu Que got a rough idea of the Nine Deathtraps from Liu Jingning.
Apparently, the Nine Deathtraps had come into existence during ancient times. All these places were quite sinister, where numerous ancient powerhouses had been killed.
There were also a lot of interesting rumors about the Nine Deathtraps. For example, an ancient ferocious dragon had passed away in the Heaven Dragon Cave. A celestial was also apparently buried in the Celestial Burial Valley.
However, Buttface shook his head at this information, "These are all rumors! Actually, the Heaven Dragon Cave is just a place where a powerhouse of our Magic Dragon Tribe once napped. The ancient magic dragons are extremely powerful. He just slept there, and his aura, which is very ferocious, can still be sensed now.
"As for the Celestial Burial Valley, as the name suggests, a crap celestial died there. If that guy was a powerful celestial, he should have passed away in the Spiritual Realm. How could he die in the East Continent? If I go to that place, I will dig up the body of that celestial and punch it. How could the pathetic Celestial Burial Valley be mentioned in the same breath as the mighty Heaven Dragon Cave?"
Buttface spoke proudly, as if the name "Heaven Dragon Cave," which contained the word "Dragon," made him proud.
Hearing his words, Xu Que knew he was definitely bluffing, so he disdainfully replied , "I remember you said you went in and out of the Celestial Burial Valley seven different times!"
"Did I?" Buttface was stunned for a moment, then he remembered he had said that before. Although he was quite embarrassed, he still confidently asserted, "I've never said that! You misheard me! If I used to go to the Celestial Burial Valley, it would have long disappeared!"
"Alas! What a stupid dog!" Xu Que sighed.
Liu Jingning was quite surprised by Buttface's words. She had thought Buttface was just a common demonic beast. To her surprise, she couldn't sense the cultivation level of Buttface, who was intelligent and could speak a human language.
Now this dog was bluffing that he was part of the Ancient Magic Dragon Tribe, which made Liu Jingning even more confused.
How could a dog be related to a magic dragon?
"What are you looking at? My noble face is not something you can look at casually!" Buttface sensed Liu Jingning's curious gaze, so he spoke arrogantly and shook his body.
Hearing that, Liu Jingning raised her eyebrows; the pressure of the Void Training Stage gushed out of her and abruptly pressed toward Buttface.
As the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction, she enjoyed an extremely high position in the East Continent. How could she put up with disrespect from a dog?
Xu Que could disrespect her. However, it didn't mean anyone, even a demonic beast, could treat her like that.
"Howl! Little brat, little brat, just discipline your woman! This demonic woman is insane and is trying to kill me!" Buttface's posture changed in three seconds. Suppressed by Liu Jingning's pressure, he became cowardly and cried for Xu Que's help.
"I've warned you before that you should behave yourself. She is a Holy Virgin. You can't disrespect her like that! Do you think you can continue living like someone with this type of handsomeness? If you don't have a handsome face like this, you should always keep a low profile!" Xu Que scolded Buttface as if the dog had failed to live up to his expectations.
The first half of Xu Que's words consoled Liu Jingning a bit. She knew Xu Que respected her at least.
However, she was totally pissed off by the second half of his words.
Like owner, like pet!
This pet dog is so shameless and is disliked by normal people. I guess only a shameless guy like Xu Que could keep such a dog with him—they were painted with the same brush!
"Little Queque, later when I see Jiang Hongyan, I will definitely tell her you bullied me on the way!" Liu Jingning pouted and spoke pathetically as if she had been wronged.
"You'd better forget it. Hongyan clearly knows that I'm an honest and upright gentleman immune to a woman's charms. Moreover, your cultivation level is higher than mine—how could I bully you?" Xu Que sneered.
However, he felt a little bit different about the situation in his heart. He worried that Liu Jingning could gossip about him in front of Jiang Hongyan cause a misunderstanding.
After all, Liu Jingning knew everything about him and Madam Ya from his time in the Fire Nation.
"So what? Your handsome face and elegant temperament attracted me. I was mesmerized by you temporarily, so I didn't resist your flirtatious actions." Liu Jingning's words became more and more outrageous. "I didn't expect you to turn against me soon. I feel very wronged . . . " Her face was a wide smile, but she really sounded like a little woman who had just been forsaken.
Xu Que was immediately pissed off. I haven't laid a finger on you—I only spanked your little hips! You can't just slander me like that!
"Okay, come here. You said you are attracted to me, right? You said I bullied you, right? Then let me bully you again!" As he spoke, Xu Que reached out to touch Liu Jingning's bosom.
Liu Jingning drifted back calmly to evade Xu Que's hands, then she sniggered, "Little Queque, you can't touch here!"
"I won't touch them, I will just grab them!" Xu Que spoke with wide eyes. He was not in the mood to play with Liu Jingning, so he started to run toward the Celestial Burial Valley.
He no longer worried about Liu Jingning gossiping about him to Jiang Hongyan—Jiang Hongyan probably know Liu Jingning's character better than he did, so she definitely wouldn't believe any gossip.
If something really happened between him and Liu Jingning, she would also never tell Jiang Hongyan about that.
Hum! Liu Jingning thought. What a shameless guy! How could he say something like, 'not touch but grab?' Seeing Xu Que had flown away, she set off to follow him.
The two-person, one-dog trio continued forth on their journey.
Over the next two days, Xu Que was attacked by more lightning. They didn't cause him any damage but kept hurting innocent bystanders.
Those people seemed to have heard of Xu Que's wicked deeds. When they saw lightning, they would angrily shout, "Lightning Rogue, how dare you show up again? I'll kill you!"
"Get lost!" Xu Que was quite angry. He waved the Dark Heavy Buster Sword, which blew away a lot of people.
He didn't stop. However, Liu Jingning couldn't help smiling. "'Lightning Rogue?' It seems they gave you a nickname!"
"Hum! I will show those fools the power of the Flash later!" Xu Que was quite embarrassed about this nickname. How could they work out a cheesy nickname like the 'Lightning Rogue?'
But he never felt sorry for those cultivators. They had come here to kill Jiang Hongyan. Their being struck by lightning could be deemed as payment of interest, at most. If they dared make trouble in the Celestial Burial Valley, Xu Que wouldn't mind killing them all.
However, after dashing forward for three days, they had to stop at a place several hundred kilometers away from the Celestial Burial Valley.
It wasn't because they had met Jiang Hongyan. This area had been packed with tens of thousands of cultivators, which was even more than the amount of cultivators in Desolation City.
Even worse, among these cultivators there were around 100 powerhouses at the Void Training Stage, who were from different families and sects.
Xu Que and Liu Jingning had to stop, their faces solemn.
"What the hell? How could they be faster than us?" Xu Que frowned. He thought he was the first one who knew Jiang Hongyan was in the Celestial Burial Valley. But how could so many people arrive in this place ahead of him?
