Chapter 690: This Is Cheating!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although Xu Que's words, which even included quotes of some well-known phrases like 'Being alive or dead, I will be a hero who is upright and unyielding', sounded quite sincere, Zixia Fairy didn't believe him at all. When Xu Que tried to escape after ruining her elixir plantation, she knew Xu Que was totally a villain, who was even worse than her exiled apprentice Duan Jiude!
A bad guy like Xu Que would definitely be a public enemy in her age.
Also, Zixia Fairy was curious how a bad guy like Xu Que could stay alive till now. She thought the way of the world had been changed.
Therefore, she made a decision that the first thing she would do after going out was to kill Xu Que to prevent him from doing evil to this world!
Of course, if she went out now, she would find Xu Que had already become the public enemy of this world.
For example, just at this moment, all families and sects had sent their people to gather outside the Mystery Land. Some of them were onlookers, but most of these cultivators were waiting for Xu Que.
One year ago, Patriarchs of the families and sects reappeared in this world. In the exclamations of numerous cultivators, these Patriarchs arrived at this place and also planned to capture Xu Que when he came out.
However, half a year ago, a lot of Patriarchs had left for the Infinite Sea of the North Sea. None of them had returned yet.
Now, the Mystery Land was about to close. Countless powerhouses of different families and sects were waiting outside the entrance.
One Patriarch of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe chose to stay. Apparently, his goal was to kill Xu Que personally.
"The Mystery Land will be closed in two days. Could Xu Que really have the guts to come out?" someone asked expectantly.
"Now, Patriarchs of all families and sects have woken up. During this period, a lot of people have come in and out of the Mystery Land. I guess Xu Que has been freaked out after getting the news!"
"Hah-hah, he has to come out sooner or later. He could come out himself, or be teleported out by the Mystery Land, or disappear together with the Mystery Land!"
"According to the information provided by people from the East Continent, that guy has a kind of spell that could help him escape instantly like the Earth Shrinking Art!"
"Heh-heh, it won't help him this time. In front of the Patriarch of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe, he will be killed before he has time to ignite that spell!"
"Although that Patriarch is the youngest one, his strength is not the lowest among all Patriarchs of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe. It is said he has reached Level Six of the Form Synthesis Stage!"
"Incredible! He could eliminate a mid-sized sect with one hand!"
"Only two days left, let's just wait and see. No matter how cunning that Xu Que is, he has to face his death in front of the ultimate strength!"
…
Many people were sneering and were looking forward to witnessing the scene when Xu Que was killed by the Patriarch of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe.
However, people of the Sky Incense Valley looked quite pale.
Within the past year, they had seen so many Patriarchs arrive and firmly believed Xu Que was really doomed this time.
Although there was only one Patriarch left, they still believed the result wouldn't be changed.
Now the Mystery Land was about to close, and most people of the Sky Incense Valley had left. Zhang Suliang and Tang Xueru decided to stay. As Xu Que's friends, they decided to do what they could, such as collecting the body of Xu Que!
…
At the same time, Xu Que and Liu Jingning were also about to leave the Mystery Land.
Xu Que believed Zixia Fairy. Since she said she would leave together with Xiao Rou, she would definitely keep her word.
Although she only said she would leave soon but didn't mention when, Xu Que thought it was still better than seeking for Xiao Rou by entering this place 100 years later.
As for Zixia Fairy threatening to kill Xu Que after coming out, Xu Que chose to ignore her threat.
We've been connected by the Red Rope of Marriage! How dare you murder your husband! I will definitely punish you!
"Little Queque, it seems you really have a lot of intimate friends! I didn't expect you hid a little girl here!" Liu Jingning said with a smile looking at Xu Que.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "It is quite normal for an honest young man like me to have a lot of intimate friends!"
"The point is it seems all your intimate friends are women!" Liu Jingning said with a smile, but her tone was a little bit weird.
When they were in the Five Elements Mountain, she knew Xu Que had several female companions. But then she didn't care about it. After all, Xu Que was just a junior to her.
She didn't know why she had started to get annoyed about it now. Therefore, when they talked about this issue, Liu Jingning didn't really understand what her point of view was.
After all, even though she knew Xu Que had no obligation to answer her questions, she was still curious about how he would answer.
"Alas!" Xu Que stopped suddenly, then, looking forward he sighed desolately.
"What's wrong?" Liu Jingning was shocked by his reaction and didn't know the reason.
Xu Que touched his face and said sadly, "Blame it all on me! I am too handsome! All my problems have been caused by my handsome face! But I will still be handsome for the rest of my life! What can I do? I am also suffering from despair!"
After saying that, he walked away desolately, putting his hands behind his back.
"…" Liu Jingning was stunned on the spot.
After a while, she stomped her feet and snorted, "What a brazen bastard! You are so shameless!"
…
Finally, they stepped toward the entrance of the Mystery Land. Liu Jingning didn't mention Xu Que's intimate friends anymore for she got more and more worried as they walked up to the entrance.
After all, they had heard some news on their way from some passers-by.
The Patriarchs of the families and sects woke up one year ago. The world was not quiet anymore.
Moreover, a Patriarch of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe was waiting outside the entrance for Xu Que.
"Little Queque, are you sure you can escape safely?" Liu Jingning couldn't help but ask the question that worried her the most as they approached the entrance.
Xu Que shook his head and said with a smile, "I remember I said I could be safe, but I didn't say I will escape! Let's go, little sister. Do you think that Patriarch of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe could defend himself from one punch from me?"
Liu Jingning was stunned. Then she remembered Xu Que smashed hundreds of golden swords with one punch when he crossed his Heavenly Tribulations, which relieved most of her worries.
But it didn't mean Xu Que could really defeat a Patriarch. Anyway, in front of a cultivator at the Form Synthesis Stage, no matter how powerful Xu Que was, he could ensure his survival at most.
"OK! Just don't do anything reckless. Once the situation becomes unfavorable, you should escape with your spell!" Liu Jingning reminded him seriously.
"Hmm…" Xu Que replied ambiguously with a weird smile on his face.
When his Taoist Connotation hadn't taken shape, he didn't dare to upgrade through killing people for fear that he would destroy his Taoist Connotation.
Now his Taoist Connotation had taken shape. Together with his powerful magic arts, he had become fearless.
Moreover, he had just crossed his 69 Heavenly Tribulations. Now he needed upgrades urgently. According to his style, the appearance of a Patriarch was just something Xu Que wanted to accumulate experience points.
For Xu Que, the Patriarch at the Form Synthesis Stage was nothing.
If he couldn't defeat the Patriarch with a punch that cost 1,000 Acting-Tough Points, he would use the punch that cost 2,000 Acting-Tough Points! If he still couldn't defeat the Patriarch, he could still use the punches that cost 3,000, 4,000, or 5,000 Acting-Tough Points!
This King of Tough-Acting Fist was just a cheating art!
Boom!
One day later, a dull sound came from the barrier at the entrance to the Mystery Land.
Two figures dashed out. One was a handsome man and the other was a beautiful woman!
People outside the entrance fixed their eyes on those two people, and their expressions changed immediately.
"Xu Que!"
"He really came out!"
"Wait! Oh, no, how could he reach the Void Training Stage?"
"It seems the hearsay is true. He didn't destruct his cultivation. Two years ago, he was at the Infant Transformation Stage. He finished his secluded cultivation in the Mystery Land in the last two years! What a cunning guy!"
"I've heard he didn't have the Taoist Connotation before. Now he has reached the Void Training Stage, which means he has found an opportunity in the Mystery Land apparently!"
"Heh-heh! What a pity! The Patriarch of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe is waiting for him!"
After being surprised, the onlookers started to take pleasure in Xu Que's misfortune.
For them, no matter what kind of opportunity Xu Que had found, he was nothing but a dead person now.
Boom!
Just at this moment, a dull sound came from the summit of the mountain. It seemed the void was being shaken by someone. Then, a magnificent pressure swept over everything!
This momentum suffocated a lot of cultivators in this area, whose foreheads were covered by cold sweat.
The strength of a Patriarch at the Form Synthesis Stage was incredibly powerful!
Liu Jingning clenched her teeth and was about to remind Xu Que to escape by sending him a message.
Then, suddenly, a deafening voice came from the summit of the mountain.
"You are Xu Que, right? Good! Now come over here and kowtow to me in three breaths!" the Patriarch at the Form Synthesis Stage said with indisputable arrogance and determination.
Even though they knew they were not the target of the Patriarch, the onlookers still turned pale immediately.
However, Xu Que replied with a faint smile as he stood there calmly, "It's nice! I've just finished my secluded cultivation. Now, someone is trying to get in a beef with me. Tell me, what kind of punch do you want?"
Chapter 691: The Ultimate Trick Of The Exploding Heavens Faction
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing what Xu Que had just said, all the people present were shocked and took a deep breath.
Every word he had said was a taboo for the cultivators of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe.
What is wrong with him?! He clearly knows the figure he is facing is the head of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe and is also in the six levels of the Form Synthesis Stage. Even so, he still dares to talk like this?!
"You impetuous bastard! Kneel down now!"
A loud noise came from a mountain that was not far away. All of a sudden, the entire sky was covered by an enormous shadow. A huge shadow of an ox head gradually became clearer and clearer. It looked like an Ancient Divine Ox and was approaching.
Bang!
Many of the cultivators were hit by the power, and they all knelt down onto the ground. They felt like someone had punched their chests, and their faces became rather pale. They were all stunned by how powerful it was.
The Patriarch of the Form Synthesis Stage managed to make these cultivators kneel down without even moving his finger. However, Xu Que was still fine; it seemed that he had not been hit at all. He was surrounded by a ball of Qi, which was rather calm and tranquil. The Qi did not seem very special, but it was strong enough. Everything it touched instantly calmed down. With the help of the Qi, Xu Que miraculously withstood the power of the Patriarch of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe. Liu Jingning was standing next to Xu Que, and was also intact.
"Is this his Taoist Connotation?" The Patriarch, at the top of the mountain, opened his eyes wide.
Hearing his voice, all the cultivators present were shocked.
"What is going on? As far as I am know, Xu Que has not got any Taoist Connotation! Can it be possible that he really manages to work out his own Taoist Connotation. Is that why he steps into the Void Training Stage? If he really has his own Taoist Connotation, why can't I feel its intensity? Instead, it seems very weak."
After all, no one had ever had the same Taoist Connotation as Xu Que did. As for the definition of his Taoist Connotation, it is that one is to speak for himself. This meant that he would always be true to himself and seek the calmness of his own mind. Therefore, his Taoist Connotation was a "weak" one, though, in fact, it was extremely powerful.
There was a saying about this, which was to pretend to be a pig to prey on a tiger. Judging by Xu Que's Taoist Connotation, people might think he was a pig, but in fact he was a dragon that could devour a pig.
…
"This can't be possible!" The Patriarch frowned and shook his head. "There can't be a Taoist Connotation such as this in the world. No one could live while always contradicting the world! Tell me, young man, what is the incantation you have used?"
Incantation? Hearing this, the cultivators figured out what was really going on.
In this world, no one except Xu Que could withstand the power of the Patriarchs of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe. After all, every cultivator knew each other's strength, in particular the strong ones. They had already seen Xu Que's strength with their own eyes. Now that Xu Que was already in the Void Training Stage, it made sense that he could withstand the power of a cultivator of the Form Synthesis Stage.
Xu Que could feel the Patriarch's jealousy.
Obviously, the Patriarch knew Xu Que's Taoist Connotation was a powerful one, but he believed that it was against the world's rule, so he would rather make himself believe that Xu Que was practicing some sort of incantation.
Xu Que smiled. "Well, since you already asked, I would be very willing to tell you. It is the ultimate trick of the Exploding Heavens Faction, which is called the Act-Tough Qi!"
What?! The Act-Tough Qi?
Everyone was stunned, including the Patriarch.
Liu Jingning was shocked, although she knew clearly this was exactly Xu Que's Taoist Connotation. She still could not believe such a Taoist Connotation that went against the world could really exist. Besides, she never thought Xu Que's Taoist Connotation was already strong enough to withstand the power of a cultivator of the Form Synthesis Stage.
If he really has grown strong enough, then I don't think there is any need for me to worry about him any more. As long as he still has the strength to fight back, he would have time to run away by using the Divine Tracking Emblem.
Thinking of this, Liu Jingning finally was relieved.
At the same time, the Patriarch who was sitting at the top of the mountain had already run out of patience. He had been called a calf by Xu Que many times and now he was furious.
"You bastard, this world is much, much bigger than you thought. Even if you are very powerful, you are still nothing when you are standing in front of me! I will show you how powerful I am!"
The Patriarch's voice was so loud that it echoed in the air off the mountains.
He quickly stood up with the two horns on his head shining brightly.
Bang!
The Patriarch waved his hand, and the next minute the sky collapsed. His two horns were shining white and absorbing the Spiritual Qi from all around. Then he directed all the Spiritual Qi to the shadow of the ox in the air. All of a sudden, the shadow got more and more clear, as if a real Ancient Ox Beast were coming down to this world.
This all happened in just a few seconds.
Seeing this, everyone present was shocked and terrified.
"My goodness! I have seen this before. It is only ever practiced by a Holy Son of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe. Its power is beyond my imagination! Usually, it would take quite a long time to practice this incantation, while for this Patriarch, it just takes a few seconds!"
"This incantation destroys a cultivator's Taoist Connotation and his Holy Soul…"
"Xu Que is doomed this time!"
…
"Kill!" The Patriarch shouted aloud.
Suddenly, the shadow of the ox roared, and its body began to change quickly into a long black spear. Then it began to fly toward Xu Que.
"His Taoist Connotation has taken an actual form! Xu Que, it's very dangerous!" Liu Jingning was so surprised that she hurriedly reached out her hand to push Xu Que away.
I have underestimated the Patriarch. I thought he would not use such a powerful incantation. If Xu Que is hit by it, he will definitely die!
"I have to admit that this is quite impressive!" Xu Que laughed.
Your Taoist Connotation has taken an actual form? So, you think you are quite something, right? Once I practice my King of Tough-Acting Fist, you will see who is the boss here!
"System, I want to buy the King of Tough-Acting Fist, three of them!"
The King of Tough-Acting Fist was worth about 2,000 Acting Tough Points. Because Xu Que had won 8,000 Acting Tough Points simply because he quarrelled with the Patriarchs, he did not think there was any need for him to be frugal.
Three incantations of the King of Tough-Acting Fist would cost me about 6,000 Acting Tough Points in total. I will have another 2,000 Acting Tough Points left.
Then, Xu Que secretly activated the Killer Book and the Killer Sword.
Although the King of Tough-Acting Fist was already quite enough to fight against the Patriarch, he thought it might be necessary to enhance the power of the King of Tough-Acting Fist by 30 times with the help of the Killer Book and the Killer Sword.
Xu Que stared at the top of the mountain and sneered. "You calf! I will punch right at your head!"
Then he quickly flew toward the top of the mountain, just like a flying arrow.
"What?!"
"He dares to initiate an attack on the Patriarch?!"
"He thinks he can beat the Patriarch with his fists? Is he insane?"
Many of the cultivators were surprised by Xu Que.
Even the Patriarch himself was amazed by Xu Que's impulsiveness. "You are such an ignorant young man! How dare you attack me?"
The Patriarch sneered, his face full of hatred, then he flipped his fingers.
All of a sudden, the long black stick moved faster toward Xu Que, looking as if it was about to penetrate him.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow of an enormous fist appeared and landed right on the spear.
Bang!
The spear broke up into pieces.
The shadow of a fist did not stop but, instead, moved even faster toward the Patriarch.
Bang!
The Patriarch's head was crushed.
Bang!
The fist smashed right into the Patriarch's chest.
Then, suddenly, a headless corpse fell to the foot of the mountain where it slowly changed into a headless ox.
…
The fight was over.…
The result shocked everyone who was present.
A strong cultivator who was of the sixth level of the Form Synthesis Stage and who had slept for a few centuries had just been punched to death.
"How can this be possible?"
All the cultivators lost their minds and found their brains could no longer function.
Liu Jingning was so stunned that she opened her small mouth very largely, as if she had seen a ghost.
"What is the incantation you have just used?" Someone asked in surprise, while covering his mouth.
Xu Que turned around and smiled. "This is the ultimate trick of the Exploding Heavens Faction, which is called the 'The Three Punches Of A Farmer Are Sweet'!"
…
Chapter 692: The Chaotic Period Is Coming
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Three Punches of a Farmer?
And the punches are sweet?
The onlookers were confused and dumbfounded by Xu Que's reply!
This is horrible!
Luckily, the Patriarch of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe died immediately without any pain or shock; otherwise he would also have been totally pissed off.
You could try your powerful punch first before describing it as sweet!
"He killed the Patriarch of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe with three punches! Does this mean the way of the world is going to change?" an old man at the Void Training Stage said in a trembling voice.
This is extraordinary! If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have laughed loudly in disbelief when they heard about it.
Anyway, this was something impossible!
How could a cultivator at the Void Training Stage kill a cultivator at the Form Synthesis Stage instantly?
This kind of thing would never occur unless the way of the world was really about to change!
However, it did just occur! The onlookers didn't want to believe their eyes,but a fact was a fact!
The youngest Patriarch of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe had just woken up for one year. His plan was to kill Xu Que, but he never expected he would be killed instantly like this.…
Suddenly, the entire area dropped into a dead silence.
Many people were looking at the young man in the sky with mixed emotions in their hearts!
Zhang Suliang, Tang Xueru, and other cultivators of the Sky Incense Valley who chose to stay were also stunned.
They had planned to collect Xu Que's body. Therefore, they never expected the issue would end in this way.
The instant kill of a Patriarch with three punches made them wonder whether they were dreaming!
All of them knew Xu Que came from the Five Elements Mountain like they did, which was a remote place with scarce Spiritual Qi. The rules of the Heaven and Earth, the magic arts, as well as the treasury items, were far less than those in the Four Continents!
After leaving the Five Elements Mountain, they thought they had seen a broader world. Also, they thought Xu Que, who was invincible in the Five Elements Mountain, would be a nobody in the Four Continents.
In these areas, the Patriarchs were the overlords. The real geniuses should be the Holy Sons and Holy Virgins of those families and sects!
But now, a Patriarch at the Form Synthesis Stage who was invincible had just been defeated by Xu Que with three punches.
"It seems we have always been frogs in a well!" Tang Xueru shook her head with a wry smile and mixed feelings in her heart.
All of them came from the Five Elements Mountain. But the gap between them was so significant!
…
A lot of Holy Sons and Holy Virgins from the East Continent who used to confront Xu Que were also here, including Xiao Munan of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Qin Ji of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect, Han Ying of the Heaven Secret Pavilion, Xiao Taixuan of the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect, and Bai Lingrui of the Bai Family.
Three years ago, they met Xu Que outside the Celestial Burial Valley for the first time. At that time, Xu Que was nothing to them. Then, reluctantly, when they were badly wounded by Xu Que, they started to take him seriously.
After that, they found out that Xu Que had no Taoist Connotation, so most of them chose to ignore Xu Que. After all, a cultivator who had no Taoist Connotation could only reach the Infant Transformation Stage in his life at most.
However, two years later, Xu Que managed to come out of the Mystery Land in such an overbearing way!
He killed a Patriarch at the Form Synthesis Stage with three punches easily!
This extremely powerful attack by Xu Que froze their blood and scared them immensely!
They couldn't help but ask themselves what kind of devil Xu Que was!
Feeling cold as ice, even Bai Lingrui had to lower her arrogant head and try to hide in the crowds. Her arrogance and confidence were gone!
She worried Xu Que would seek revenge after seeing her.
In this way, Xu Que had created the supreme deterrence. All families and sects had to keep silent like a cicada in cold weather.
In this silence, Liu Jingning let out a sigh of relief. An extremely attractive smile appeared on her beautiful face!
She moved her lips to send a message, "Little Queque, you are awesome!"
Her attractive and coquettish voice made Xu Que get goose bumps immediately. He turned around and gave her a stern look to stop her from teasing him again, or he would have to discipline her publicly.
Liu Jingning sniggered and stopped teasing him.
After that, Xu Que turned to the onlookers and asked with a smile, "Are there any cultivators from the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe here? I want to do business with you!"
The entire area fell silent again. All onlookers kept mute and could only look around.
After a while, into the silence, a cultivator at the Infant Transformation Stage replied, "Mister Xu, people of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe left one year ago. Only the Patriarch chose to stay here!"
"Oh? All of them have left? What a pity! If you have time, please deliver a message to the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe for me. Just tell them I want to purchase high-quality beef from them, which will then be exported to the East Continent, where I will open several Chaoshan Beef Hotpot Restaurants!" Xu Que said with a smile.
All the onlookers instantly twitched their lips and looked puzzled.
Purchase beef? Open beef hotpot restaurants?
Is he really going to treat people of the Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe as food ingredients?
The Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe is doomed! The onlookers said in their hearts.
The Heavenly Horn Ox Tribe had several Patriarchs. But none of them could kill another Patriarch that easily!
Now they had become the enemy of Xu Que. They would end up more miserably than those offending Duan Jiude!
"Little Sister, let's go, it's time to go back to the East Continent!" Xu Que decided to leave after establishing his prestige here.
Although he spent 6,000 Acting-Tough Points to kill the Patriarch, he didn't suffer any loss this time!
All onlookers were shocked, which brought him over 10,000 Acting-Tough Points!
Ha-ha-ha, I got over 13,000 Acting-Tough Points and 10 million Experience Points this time. More important, I got the Big Mystery Bag again by killing the Patriarch the first time! Heh-heh-heh, this is totally profitable!
Xu Que smiled to himself as he looked at the System interface.
However, he was not satisfied that he only earned 10 million Experience Points by killing a Patriarch!
Now he was at Level One of the Void Training Stage, and he needed 50 million Experience Points to reach Level Two.
It meant he had to kill another four Patriarchs at the Form Synthesis Stage to get an upgrade.
Alas! As expected, I have to accumulate Experience Points through cultivation in the later stage, which is much faster than killing people!
Xu Que sighed to himself and was grateful he had chosen to restart his cultivation. Otherwise, he would have big problems now!
After all, he would kill all powerhouses at the Form Synthesis Stage sooner or later. After that, he would never earn Experience Points by killing people.
Moreover, he could only use the Acting-Tough Points to kill the powerhouses at the Form Synthesis Stage!
The King of Tough-Acting Fist, which didn't need any True Core Strength, had to be activated with Acting-Tough Points. The more Acting-Tough Points he spent, the more powerful the attack would be.
However, Xu Que still felt heartache for that. After all, the Acting-Tough Points were something he needed urgently now. If he had 2 million Acting-Tough Points now, he could upgrade the System to Version 10.0 and purchase the Space Breaking Spell, so that he could go back to Earth!
It seems I have to save the Acting-Tough Points! Xu Que said to himself.
Although he could kill Patriarchs at the Form Synthesis Stage now, it didn't mean he was invincible!
The Acting-Tough Points he had now were just enough for him to use the King of Tough-Acting Fist for over ten times. If he was attacked by 20 Patriarchs at the same time, he would be in great trouble!
Therefore, Xu Que didn't want to offend those Patriarchs so easily, before he could accumulate more Acting-Tough Points!
"Let's go back to the East Continent!" Xu Que said to Liu Jingning as he stood in the sky.
"Don't we wait for Buttface?" Liu Jingning said in surprise.
Xu Que shook his head without hesitation, "Buttface is not a loyal dog! Now he is with Duan Jiude. They are so disgusting together! Now, the most urgent thing we should do is to find Dong Genji and get his ancient book, so that we can know the history of the Ancient Bronze Hall. It is time for us to save Hongyan!"
Hearing that, Liu Jingning nodded seriously and left, following Xu Que without any hesitation.
In front of the envious and thoughtful gaze of the onlookers, the two of them jumped up and dashed toward the horizon like a celestial couple.
"Alas, the way of the world has changed!"
"The World of Cultivators is doomed!"
Seeing them leaving, the onlookers exclaimed, "The Patriarchs said a golden age is coming. However, before a golden age, there is always a chaotic period. It seems the chaotic period has begun!"
"Now, many Patriarchs have left for the Unlimited Sea outside the North Sea. Why did they do that?"
"It is said they are led by Dong Genji. It seems they have found something incredible there!"
"Dong Genji is really awesome! He hasn't reached the Form Synthesis Stage yet, but he could work together with those Patriarchs!"
"I've heard even the Roc Tribe of the North Sea has participated in their action. The Sea Tribe in the Unlimited Sea has also participated!"
"This is really a big scene! Are they really going to meet some big shots?"
"I'm afraid it is not so simple!"
…
…
Chapter 693: I Don't Agree!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que and Liu Jingning headed to the nearest teleportation device.
Xu Que wanted to go back to the East Continent to find Dong Genji and get the Ancient Book of Records. He needed to find the information about the Ancient Bronze Hall so he could rescue Jiang Hongyan.
On their journey, they heard lots of surprising news.
First, they heard that Dong Genji had sailed to the North Sea, and, after revealing some big news to the other Patriarchs of the Influential Factions, they all followed him to the Infinite Sea outside the North Sea. Someone said it was because an ancient treasure had been found there; someone else said they went to greet a important figure; and a third person said something terrible had happened there and a disaster was about to come.
"Crap! If I knew this was going to happen, I would not have let him go! Now that he is with other Patriarchs, it will not be easy for me to get at him!" Xu Que was rather upset.
"Calm down! We don't know what has really happened. There is only one thing that we are sure about, and that is that something must have happened in the Infinite Sea. Since so many Patriarchs have gone there, that something must be a serious. I think even my Faction must have gone there too. I think what we should do is to go back to the East Continent first, where I will ask my peers about what has happened." Liu Jingning said calmly.
Hearing this, Xu Que nodded.
No matter what, I would have to go back to the East Continent. If I can not get the Ancient Book of Records, I will have to break into the Ancient Bronze Hall!
The two stepped into the teleportation device and put a piece of Spiritual Stone of top quality in it. The huge teleportation device was activated, and, in the blink of an eye, they arrived at their destination. It was already a month later.
Xu Que and Liu Jingning walked off the teleportation device and found that the news about the whereabouts of all those Patriarchs had gone viral.
There were many versions of the news, but they were all basically guesses or rumors that sounded rather convincing. No one could really say what was true or false.
On arrival, Xu Que and Liu Jingning headed directly to the Utopia Faction.
As the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction, Liu Jingning could find out why those Patriarchs all went to the Infinite Sea. Her peers would definitely tell her everything.
After the two used a few more small teleportation devices, they finally arrived at a place in front of which there was a huge mountain. The Utopia Faction was inside! This place was a very good one. Its surroundings were very dangerous, and it was surrounded by a noxious atmosphere. Normally, no one dared to step into this place.
Close to the forest that was surrounded by the filthy fumes, there were many turbulent rivers. Although it might be easy for a cultivator to cross the river by using a magical weapon, there were many ferocious beasts within. However, for a cultivator of the Utopia Faction, it was easy to dodge these beasts.
Liu Jingning took out a card, and all of a sudden a path that led to the top of the mountain appeared.
Seeing this, Xu Que smiled. "I think you can do better with your security system. Yes, you have set up many traps, but I can destroy all of them with only one shot!"
Liu Jingning rolled her eyes and said, "I know you are a generous man, why don't you give us an Array of Spiritual Level?"
In fact, the Array that the Utopia Faction set to protect themselves was one of a high level. It could withstand hundreds of attacks of a cultivator of the Void Training Stage, but a cultivator of the Form Synthesis Stage could easily destroy it.
Liu Jingning still remembered that when they were in the Celestial Burial Valley, Xu Que easily set up an Array of High Level to protect Jiang Hongyan. She also remembered that he said he had plenty of Arrays of Spiritual Levels.
If Xu Que gave the Utopia Faction an Array of Spiritual Level, the Utopia Faction would be safe and sound for at least 1,000 years.
"Well, of course I can give you one for free, but I never give anything to anyone for free. This is one of my principles!" Xu Que laughed.
In fact, Xu Que could buy an Array of Spiritual Levels with only 2,000 Acting Tough Points, but, currently, the Acting Tough Points were something that he wanted most. Thus, he would not want to give one to the Utopia Faction for free. After all, Liu Jingning was his good friend, not the entire Utopia Faction.
"You are so mean!" Liu Jingning rolled her eyes. She was only joking with him, so she smiled and did not take this seriously.
The two quickly headed to the top of the mountain and soon reached the entrance to the Utopia Faction. There were a few young male cultivators guarding the gate. As soon as they saw Liu Jingning, they immediately knelt down and said respectfully, "Your highness!"
Liu Jingning nodded gently and directly went inside with Xu Que.
For Xu Que, Liu Jingning might show her gentle side, but in front of others she would always be the cold and ruthless Holy Virgin. This was the only way to make others respect her. If a Holy Son or a Holy Virgin acted gently, he or she would be seen as weak by others.
Xu Que did not mind Liu Jingning's sudden change of attitude. He also took up a haughty attitude and entered with Liu Jingning.
Seeing Xu Que walking next to their Holy Virgin, the young cultivators got curious about Xu Que and began to gossip.
"Who is that young man? He is walking right next to our Holy Virgin!"
"Can it be possible that he comes from an influential Faction? Otherwise, he can not possibly walk next to our Holy Virgin!"
"I think so, don't you see he is walking with his nose facing upwards?"
"But even so, he can not be so close to our Holy Virgin!"
"You might be right, I remember that once the Holy Son of the Gong Family paid a visit to us, and, from the beginning, our Holy Virgin kept a distance from him. But today the young man is so close to our Holy Virgin…can it be possible that they two…?"
"Judging from his face, that young man is at most 20 years old. No way our Holy Virgin would want to date such a young man!"
"Be careful, if the Holy Virgin hears what you guys say, you will all be killed!"
"Wait a while, I think the Holy Virgin must have heard that we have arranged an engagement for her. That must be why she brought a young man back!"
"No way! The cultivators from the Li Family have just arrived. How could our Holy Virgin know about this?!"
"Something is going to happen!"
…
Soon, Liu Jingning and Xu Que arrived at the main hall. Before they even got inside, they could hear the sound of laughter.
"Today is really a good day. My niece Jingning has come back! Little Jingning, do you still remember your Uncle Li?"
"Uncle Li?" Liu Jingning was a bit surprised and confused.
"Jingning, come inside to meet us!"
"Yes!"
Liu Jingning walked into the hall.
Xu Que cast his eyes into the main hall and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the center of the hall. He looked very handsome and elegant with an air of seriousness. Judging by this, Xu Que could feel he was in the top level of the Void Training Stage.
His level was not that easy to reach, even for Holy Sons and Holy Virgins. Besides, the only difference between the Void Training Stage and the Form Synthesis Stage was the difference of the Taoist Connotation. In this world, when a cultivator reached to this high level, it was always the Taoist Connotation, not the Spiritual Qi or Spiritual Medicine, that decided if he could step into the next level. Once a cultivator reached the Void Training Stage, his Taoist Connotation had just formed. Before he stepped into the Form Synthesis Stage, he would have to enhance his Taoist Connotation to a certain degree.
This man was soon to reach to the Form Synthesis Stage.
It was not easy for a cultivator to spot this immediately, but Xu Que was very different from other cultivators. In just two years, he had managed to step into the Void Training Stage, while for others it would take years of cultivation and great comprehension on the Taoist Connotation to do so. Besides, Xu Que had a great comprehension on his Taoist Connotation. Currently, he was just in the first level of the Void Training Stage, while his Taoist Connotation was as powerful as that of a cultivator of the first level of the Form Synthesis Stage.
"Interesting! It seems that the head of the Utopia Faction is quite a tough figure!" Xu Que smiled.
Then he looked over the other cultivators in the main hall. Apart from a few old cultivators in long plain purple robes, some cultivators in red robes attracted Xu Que's attention. The so-called Uncle Li was one of them, and there were a young man and a young woman standing next to him. The man looked very handsome while the woman was extremely beautiful.
As soon as Liu Jingning walked into the hall, everyone stared at her. Especially that handsome young man who had looked very bored and tired just a few minutes ago; suddenly now he looked very energetic. His eyes were full of surprise.
Screw it! Xu Que cursed to himself. Clearly, the so-called Uncle Li had come to ask Liu Jingning to marry that young man!
"Jingning, I am your late father's friend. My name is Li Tangshan!" The old man in the red robe smiled.
I knew it! Xu Que sneered to himself.
"I see. You are the Uncle Li that my father often talked about when he was still alive!"
She recalled that her father once told her that the Li Family had lent the Utopia Faction a magical weapon. Soon after, her father died in an accident and did not have the chance to return it. Before he died, he told Liu Jingning that as soon as the Li Family came, she would have to return it to them. Liu Jingning had been carrying her father's words for years, so she immediately recalled what her father had told her.
"Yes! I am!" The old man in red nodded. Then he gently touched his beard and was about to say something.
Suddenly, a noise came from outside.
Bang!
Xu Que stepped heavily into the room and looked coldly at everyone in the main hall. "I am against this engagement!"
Chapter 694: My Name Is Xu Que!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
All of a sudden, Xu Que's voice echoed in the entire area.
Everyone turned to look at him with weird expressions. Especially people of the Li Family were fixing their eyes on Xu Que!
"Behave yourself! Who are you? How dare you trespass in the Main Hall of our Utopia Faction and talk rubbish!" an Elder of the Utopia Faction darkened his face and scolded Xu Que.
Xu Que widened his eyes, "I don't care! Anyway, I don't agree with this marriage!"
People fell silent again. The elders of the Utopia Faction were confused, and they stared at each other as if they were asking about the history and background of Xu Que!
However, none of them knew the required information! None of the elders in this area knew Xu Que. People who met Xu Que outside the Celestial Burial Valley weren't here today!
Liu Jingning's lips twitched, and she was almost about to rush over and beat Xu Que up!
She sent a message to Xu Que hurriedly, "Little Queque, could you just shut up? They are here to take something back! They are not here to arrange a marriage!"
What?
They are not going to arrange the marriage.…
This…is so embarrassing!
Xu Que widened his eyes immediately. Then, he touched his nose and said with an embarrassed smile, "Ahem, I'm sorry! I've missed the point. Please continue your discussion and just ignore me!"
After that, he turned around and was about to leave the hall to avoid the embarrassment!
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Li Tangshan, an old man in a red robe, stopped Xu Que and said with a faint smile, "My young friend, actually, what you said is correct. This time the Li Family is really going to seek a marriage alliance! I just don't know why you don't agree with that."
What?
Holy crap! They are really going to arrange a marriage! I was set up!
Xu Que stopped walking and turned around slowly!
Liu Jingning, who was also surprised, didn't expect those words apparently. Moreover, she was shocked by Xu Que's accurate prediction!
"Wait! Please tell me to whom you will seek a marriage?" Xu Que asked.
He thought he should ascertain that. In case they didn't seek a marriage to Liu Jingning, it would be really embarrassing if he said he didn't agree again!
"Of course, we will seek a marriage to Liu Jingning, who is my niece!" Li Tangshan replied with a faint smile.
Then, he turned to Liu Jingning and said with a smile, "I once lent a magic artifact to your father. I told him he doesn't need to return it, which should be treated as a betrothal gift!"
"Alas, I didn't expect his premature death! Now the young master of our Li Family has grown up. It is time to find a cultivation companion for him. Liu Jingning is apparently the best choice. This is a perfect match between a man and a girl. If you get married, your marriage will definitely become a beautiful story in the World of Cultivators!"
Hearing that, Xu Que's lips twitched as he sent a message to Liu Jingning, "Little sister, see, you said they are coming to take something back! Actually, they are coming to take someone back!"
Liu Jingning was stunned, for her father didn't mention that to her. When she was about to say something, an idea occurred in her mind. Then, with a cunning light in her eyes, she asked with a spurious smile, "Little Queque, even if they are here to seek a marriage, on what basis should you refuse that?"
"On what basis shouldn't I refuse that?" Xu Que said.
This goes without saying!
You are beautiful, and you always flirt with me! Now you want to deny our relationship after your flirtation! No way!
"It's hard to say! According to seniority, you are a junior at most. So, you are not qualified to say no to that. As for other relationships between us, it seems there is no special relationship between us!" Liu Jingning said thoughtfully.
Hearing that, Xu Que was surprised, "You said there is no special relationship between us. Are you sure about that?"
For him, the relationship between them was quite mysterious. Back on Earth, this relationship could be described as ambiguous!
It should be between friends and lovers.
This relationship was perfect, which couldn't be described with words.
But Liu Jingning said there was no special relationship between them, which was just like pouring a basin of icy water on Xu Que's head. It made Xu Que think maybe he had unrequited love!
"Right! Do you really think there is a special relationship between us?" Liu Jingning blinked her eyes and sent a message by moving her lips. She didn't realize the changes in Xu Que's mind at this moment!
In fact, she also knew the relationship between her and Xu Que was mysterious. Therefore, she suddenly had a brainstorm and decided to explore Xu Que's real opinion of her by provoking him with the issue today.
"I think the relationship between us is quite special!" Xu Que replied, furrowing his eyebrows.
"I don't think it is special," Liu Jingning blinked her eyes and replied calmly.
She thought she could keep provoking Xu Que, but she didn't expect Xu Que to think he was too sentimental. All the flirtations performed by Liu Jingning before were to find amusement when the occasions arose.
Because it was so common on Earth!
"OK, I know!" Xu Que shrugged. A strand of bitter helplessness was contained in his voice. Then, he turned around and walked toward the entrance of the hall!
"What?" Liu Jingning was stunned, as Xu Que's reaction was different than she had anticipated.
"Wait…"
She was about to stop Xu Que and explain she was kidding just now.
"Halt!"
Just at this moment, a yell interrupted Liu Jingning's words and prevented Xu Que from leaving!
The one who yelled was an Elder of the Utopia Faction.
He was the one who had asked for Xu Que's identity before. Now Xu Que was about to leave, he stepped out and acted overbearingly.
"The Utopia Faction is not a place where you can come and go easily! Now clarify your identity and tell us why you make troubles here!" the Elder said by furrowing his eyebrows.
He thought it would be a great humiliation for the Utopia Faction to let Xu Que leave in this way in front of the Li Family.
"My young friend, it seems you haven't answered my question yet. Why don't you agree with this marriage?" Li Tangshan also asked with a smile. However, his smile was not gentle but full of momentum!
It seemed he wouldn't allow Xu Que to leave if he didn't get a satisfactory answer.
"Now I agree, OK?" Xu Que replied impatiently.
He was in a bad mood. If it weren't for his respect for Liu Jingning, he would have slapped that Elder and Li Tangshan!
Now he agreed!?
Liu Jingning was stunned, for she never expected Xu Que would reply in this way!
The rest of the people were also astonished. Then they darkened their faces.
The point was not whether Xu Que agreed with the marriage, but on what basis could he say those words!
After all, this was the Utopia Faction. Liu Jingning was their Holy Virgin. It was not up to Xu Que, who was an outsider, to agree or disagree with this marriage!
At the very beginning, Xu Que said he didn't agree with the marriage. Then, he planned to leave suddenly. After being pushed by the Elder and Li Tangshan, he said he agreed!
He didn't take the Utopia Faction seriously at all!
"Hmph! What an arrogant young man! Who the hell are you? On what basis could you say those words here? Now kneel!" the Utopia Faction's Elder scolded furiously as a magnificent pressure gushed out from his body and swept over toward Xu Que directly.
"You are so clamorous!" Xu Qu frowned as he struck back with his Soul Strength like a tsunami.
"Wait!" Liu Jingning changed her expression and shouted. However, she was too late!
Bang!
After a dull sound, the Elder was blown away instantly. His body hit a giant pillar in the hall. The Elder turned deathly pale!
Xu Que didn't use his full strength; otherwise, he could absolutely kill that Elder in one move with his Taoist Connotation!
"How could this be?"
Seeing that, everyone was shocked instantly with disbelief!
An Elder at the Void Training Stage, who tried to subdue a young man, was wounded by the young man at last!
There was only one reason which could explain this result – the young man was at least a Holy Son!
"Behave yourself!"
"How dare you wound our Elder here?"
"You are seeking death!"
All at once, the rest of the Elders also scolded him, for they couldn't sit idle even if Xu Que was really a Holy Son!
Because a Holy Son was also not qualified to be so arrogant in the Utopia Faction!
"All of you, stop!"
Just at this moment, Liu Jingning stopped those Elders. Then, she turned to Xu Que and said with a cold smile, "Little Queque, what did you say just now? Do you agree with this marriage?"
Little Queque?
What kind of address is this?
The rest of the people were confused immediately!
"Little Queque? Que?" Gasp! "Could he be…?"
Someone repeated the address several times. Suddenly, a name came into his mind, which made him gasp immediately as he turned to Xu Que in surprise!
At the same time, Xu Que said with a smile as he looked at Liu Jingning, "Little sister, I've changed my mind again! I hereby declare that I don't agree with this marriage! If you want to know on what basis I disagree with it, I think my name is persuasive enough!"
After saying that, Xu Que glanced at everyone and said slowly, "My name is Xu Que! Xu is Xu Que's Xu, and I don't know how to write Que! Anyone who wants to challenge me could taste my Three Punches of a Farmer first!"
Chapter 695: The Clown

As soon as they heard the name "Xu Que", everyone in the main hall was stunned.
In fact, Xu Que had already become quite a famous figure in the East Continent, and they were very shocked that Xu Que was right there in front of their eyes.
"How on earth did he come here?"
"I heard that he has destroyed his own cultivation and become an ordinary."
Hearing this, a cultivator sneered. "You call him an ordinary? You are too naive indeed! You have been staying inside the Utopia Faction for too many years and have no idea what has happened outside!"
"It's only been two years; there can't have been such a big change in the outside world!"
"Three years ago, we in Utopia Faction went to the South Continent for the Mystery Land Trial, and, you know what, our fellow citizens all came back in less than a year and brought with them big news!"
"What? They came back in less than a year?"
"Yes! And back in that time, this young man Xu Que was also there. He was still an ordinary but somehow he managed to crush the huge boats of both the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe and the Prevailing Wind Pavilion in the Upflowing Sea. All the cultivators from the two Factions died, then he killed the cultivators who were left…."
"My goodness! Had any of our people been killed?"
"No, since Xu Que is a good friend of our Holy Virgin, he let us leave and return home before it all started."
"It would seem then that this young man is quite nice!"
"Nonsense! How do you make that out? If you had seen how he killed them you would definitely be frightened to death!"
The cultivators of the Utopia Faction were all in a heated discussion.
The few Sect Elders of the Utopia Faction were rather upset and looked alertly at Xu Que, as if they were looking at someone who was going to cause them huge trouble.
While the head of the Utopia Faction stayed rather calm, he stared at Xu Que and said, "My dear friend, I have been told that you forced my fellows to come back during the Mystery Land Trial and in this way saved their lives. But now you come to create trouble for me. I am wondering what are your real intentions."
"I am sorry? Who said I ever forced your fellows to go away? I would never do such a thing! Jingning, you know what had really happened, tell them!"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was surprised. She thought Xu Que was about to leave and didn't realize he had changed his mind so quickly and dared to speak against the head of the Utopia Faction.
"Little Queque, you can't be rude!" Liu Jingning glared at Xu Que and was afraid that he would really get into a fight with the head of the Utopia Faction.
Then, she turned to the head of the Utopia Faction and said, "I think you have misunderstood him. Little…oh, no, Xu Que is not an enemy of our Utopia Faction. The reason we asked my peers to leave was because we were afraid that they might be hurt. Besides, Xu Que helped us to get a huge amount of Living Holy Water."
Liu Jingning quickly took out a jade bottle and handed it to the head of the Utopia Faction.
"You have got the Living Holy Water?" The head was very surprised. He held the bottle in his hands and began to check it. He was amazed to find that there was a huge amount of Living Holy Water inside it, which was totally unexpected.
Xu Que found that the head of the Utopia Faction did not know too much about what had happened in the outside world, particularly what had happened after the Mysterious Land Trial. This might be because the Utopia Faction was located at the very edge of the East Continent.
He does not even know I have dug out the Living Holy Tree and have punched a Patriarch of the Form Synthesis Stage to death. Great! I think I will take this opportunity to act tough again!
Thinking of this, Xu Que smiled.
"My dear friend, I am sorry that I have misunderstood you!" The head of the Utopia Faction smiled. After all, the head of the Utopia Faction could not possibly apologize to Xu Que. He was just putting on a show. In his view, Xu Que was just a young cultivator who was good at tricking people and could never be regarded as a Holy Son.
Xu Que in fact did not care if the head of the Utopia Faction truly meant to say sorry or not. He waved his hand and smiled. "You are being too polite!"
Hearing this, the head of the Utopia Faction smiled and nodded and was very satisfied with Xu Que's attitude.
Liu Jingning also smiled and even felt a bit happy. She knew that Xu Que was doing this for her.
Right at this moment, the young man standing next to the old man in the red robe sneered. "I see, you are Xu Que! Before we headed here, we had been told that there was a old Patriarch of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe intending to kill you. I never thought you would still be alive. I guess the Patriarch must have left in advance. Otherwise, you would already be dead by now!"
Hearing this, everyone in the main hall was shocked.
The Patriarch of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe was ambushing him outside the Mysterious Land? How on earth did this young man escape being killed? He is really a lucky man!
…
Xu Que smiled. "Oh, you mean the Patriarch of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe? I am sorry to tell you that he is dead."
What?! He is dead?!
Everyone looked at Xu Que in great confusion.
Xu Que touched his fist with one hand and smiled. "I punched him to death with only three shots. His body was crushed to pieces or I would be very happy to use his flesh to make Beef Wraps."
Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
You killed the Patriarch of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe with only three shots? You must be lying. He is in the Form Synthesis Stage for god's sake! You think we are all idiots to believe your words?!
Everyone shook their heads, even the head of the Utopia Faction, and began to stare at Xu Que coldly.
The young man laughed out loud. "My friend, I finally know why there are so many people who want to kill you! I suggest you should work hard while you are still young, stop daydreaming, and don't make yourself ridiculous in front of us." He then shook his head and his eyes were full of scorn, as if he was looking at a clown.
Liu Jingning did not know how she could make everyone believe what Xu Que had done. After all, what he did was really hard to imagine; even those who saw it found it hard to believe.
"You are so ignorant! I suggest you go out to see the world, read more newspapers, and watch more news. You are really embarrassing!"
Xu Que sneered at the young man.
The young man's face turned furious instantly. "How dare you! Do you have any idea who you are talking to?"
"Screw you!" Xu Que said gently.
"You…" The young man was completely surprised by Xu Que's words. His eyes opened wide.
"Screw you," Xu Que said again.
"I will kill you!" The young man was so angry that he was about to attack Xu Que.
…
"Enough!" Li Tangshan shouted aloud.
He looked at Xu Que coldly, and then turned to the head of the Utopia Faction.
"Today we have come here so my son can make a proposal to the Holy Virgin. Please get Xu Que out of here!"
"I have said, I am against the engagement!" Xu Que repeated.
Hearing this, Li Tangshan's face turned black, and he was about to attack Xu Que.
Right at this moment, the young man suddenly said, "You said you disagree. I don't care! I have brought the betrothal presents. You can't stop me!" Then, he sneered and waved his hand.
The Storage Ring on his finger began to shine and the next minute, a pile of treasures appeared on the ground. "We have brought an Array of High Level, one million top-quality Spiritual Stones, and some magical weapons. I am going to ask Liu Jingning to marry me!"
Chapter 696: Your Sincerity Is Really Cheap!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The words of the Li Family's young master dropped the entire hall of the Utopia Faction into a dead silence!
All apprentices of the Utopia Faction in the hall were totally shocked.
The pupils of several Elders at the Void Training Stage contracted; their hands hidden in their sleeves also trembled a bit!
Making eye contact, they found shock and ecstasy in each other's eyes!
Even the mighty leader of the Utopia Faction also changed his expression at this time!
An Expert spell!
One million best-grade Spirit Stones!
Several magic artifacts!
These betrothal gifts were far more than the Utopia Faction had ever imagined possible!
They never expected that their Holy Virgin and this marriage were so important for the Li Family!
After all, through this win-win cooperation, the status of both the parties could realize a giant leap in the World of Cultivators in the future!
Therefore, as long as the Utopia Faction was willing to do that, they would accept the marriage request even if the Li Family only offered tens of thousands of best-grade Spirit Stones.
So, when the Li Family offered one million best-grade Spirit Stones and an Expert spell, all the members of the Utopia Faction just couldn't keep calm anymore. Even Liu Jingning was shocked by all this! She knew clearly the value of an Expert spell, which could be deemed as a priceless treasure in the World of Cultivators!
The Utopia Faction had spent a lot of time and effort to obtain an Expert spell. After obtaining this one, they could activate two Expert spells at the same time. Then, the protective effect of these two spells would almost be identical to the effect of a Spiritual spell. And the defensive level of the Utopia Faction would be the same as that of the rest of the overlords in the East Continent!
"This is incredible! I didn't expect the Li Family could make such a big investment!"
"It seems the young master of the Li Family likes our Holy Virgin very much!"
"Oh, no! Our Holy Virgin is about to marry someone! My heart is bleeding!"
"Nonsense! Don't tell me you have the guts to cast greedy eyes on our Holy Virgin!"
"Eh…I dare not do that! I'm afraid only a scanty few people in this world could steer our Holy Virgin!"
"Of course! The nickname 'She-devil' of our Holy Virgin didn't come out of nowhere! I doubt the young master of the Li Family will be able to steer her after marrying her!"
Many of the Utopia Faction's apprentices were talking in low voices. Originally, they didn't dare to talk about this publicly. Now, after being shocked by the Expert spell, they couldn't help but start their discussion.
The apprentices had almost gone wild. The Elders of the Utopia Faction were also quite excited!
This was an Expert spell! Although it was not as precious as a Holy Virgin, they were not trading it for their Holy Virgin. They would obtain the spell by connecting with the Li Family through this marriage! After their marriage, Liu Jingning would still be their Holy Virgin. The Utopia Faction would have a reliable ally. Anyway, the Utopia Faction would get a fantastic bargain!
"Just an Expert spell? Is it impressive? It's nothing for me!"
At this time, a dissonant voice echoed in the hall, which came from Xu Que!
He shook his head and said disdainfully, as he picked his ears calmly, "Do you want to marry my little sister with an Expert spell and one million best-grade Spirit Stones? You are too naive! How could my beautiful and wild Sister Jingning accept these petty things as the betrothal gifts?"
The apprentices and Elders of the Utopia Faction came to themselves suddenly.
Right! It seems like this guy also has Expert spells!
Members of the Utopia Faction who had gone to the Celestial Burial Valley mentioned that Xu Que had set up an Expert spell outside the valley directly to facilitate Jiang Hongyan to cross her Heavenly Tribulations, which shocked many people at that time!
"Heh-heh!" the young master of the Li Family laughed suddenly. Then, he glanced at Xu Que and sneered, "I know you also have Expert spells! Also, what you said is correct! An Expert spell and one million best-grade Spirit Stones are not good enough for the Holy Virgin!"
What? What does he mean?
Many apprentices and Elders of the Utopia Faction were surprised! Does it mean he still has other betrothal gifts?
"Holy Virgin Liu!"
At this time, the young master of the Li Family folded his hands gracefully as he looked at Liu Jingning.
Liu Jingning frowned slightly and asked indifferently, "What?"
In normal times, she wouldn't show her feelings through her face no matter how much she disliked someone. However, all these people had joined against Xu Que. Even though the young master of the Li Family hadn't done anything wrong, she was not in a mood to smile at him!
However, the young master of the Li Family ignored Liu Jingning's reaction. He continued to behave gently and gracefully with a calm smile on his face. It seemed he had something secure to rely on!
"Do you have the magic artifact of my Second Uncle with you?" he asked with a faint smile.
"It's here!" Liu Jingning replied concisely as she took out the magic artifact.
It was a palm-sized blue jade that was crystal clear. A lot of runes were carved on the jade, which could be effective as long as it was activated.
The young master of the Li Family smiled and turned to the Faction Leader of the Utopia Faction and said, folding his hands, "Faction Leader Mo, this magic artifact is also one of the betrothal gifts!"
"Oh?" the Faction Leader looked at the young master of the Li Family puzzledly, along with all the other people in the hall.
They knew clearly that the young master still had something to say. If it was just an ordinary magic artifact, he wouldn't have mentioned it separately!
As expected, the young master turned around and pointed at a big jade box on the ground and said with a faint smile, "This Expert spell would be extremely powerful together with the magic artifact in the Holy Virgin's hand. Together with your current Expert spell, the three of them will be as powerful as a genuine Spiritual spell!"
"What?" several Elders of the Utopia Faction shouted!
Even the Faction Leader of the Utopia Faction changed his expression on the spot! A genuine Spiritual spell! In the East Continent, only the Jiang Family and the Gong Family had this kind of spell!
But now, in order to marry Liu Jingning, the young master of the Li Family had made such a big investment to help the Utopia Faction to set up a Spiritual spell! This betrothal gift was too rich and incredible!
All at once, only the loud breathing of the Utopia Faction's members could be heard in the silent hall.
Even Liu Jingning couldn't hold her seat now because of the great shock in her heart!
She never expected the Li Family could be so rich and generous. She had been pushed into a tight corner!
Although her status was quite high as the Holy Virgin, she was a member of the Utopia Faction!
If she didn't want to accept the proposal for the betrothal gift as just an Expert spell, the entire Utopia Faction would respect her choice. However, if she said no to a Spiritual spell, all the members of the Utopia Faction would be annoyed, for the interest was too large to refuse!
"Faction Leader Mo, my sincerity for Holy Virgin Liu is surely evident! I hereby earnestly request you to help us in achieving our marriage!" the young master of the Li Family stepped to the center of the hall and said seriously, as he folded his hands and bowed to the Faction Leader confidently.
The Faction Leader turned to Liu Jingning immediately.
He was not soliciting the opinion of Liu Jingning, but he tried to imply to her that the Utopia Faction was not able to and even couldn't afford to refuse these betrothal gifts!
Liu Jingning changed her expression instantly. Then, she turned to Xu Que.
Xu Que was sitting on a chair and picking his ears idly with a faint smile on his face.
The next moment, he said with a smile as he shook his head, "Young master of the Li Family, you managed to scrape together a Spiritual spell, and you said it could represent your sincerity, right? Heh-heh-heh, I have to say your sincerity is so damn cheap!"
After saying that, he waved his hand!
Whoosh!
Along with a loud ringing sound, several bright lights appeared, suddenly floating in front of Liu Jingning!
"Little sister, you could choose freely among these Spiritual spells! Oh, forget it, just take them all, for they take up too much space and also they are quite heavy! See, I am exhausted and can stand up only when you kiss me, hug me, and raise me up!"
…
Chapter 697: Kiss Him, Hug Him, Hold Him High!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The entire hall was deathly quiet.
Everyone was too shocked to believe what they had seen and stood still as if they had lost their souls.
"This is impossible!"
The young man was stunned and his lips were trembling.
In the entire East Continent, there were less than ten Arrays of Spiritual Level in total. Meanwhile, Xu Que had easily taken out that many Arrays of Spiritual Levels, which was indeed shocking.
What was more shocking was that all the Arrays were real; their Spiritual Qi was so thick and magnificent. Each one of them was much more powerful than that provided by the Li Family.
Xu Que was very calm and looked like he really did not care about giving these Arrays of Spiritual Levels to Liu Jingning for free.
While for the Li Family, Xu Que's indifference felt like torture. The young man of the Li Family bit his lips till they bled and clenched his hands hard, the veins on his hands all swelling up. He was feeling very embarrassed.
Li Tangshan and the young woman standing next to him were also stunned.
The Li Family had thought that the Utopia Faction would be very happy to agree to a marriage for Liu Jingning once they managed to provide an Array of Spiritual Level. They also felt very proud when they laid out the betrothal presents.
But now they only wanted to hide in a hole.
"Please take away these Arrays. They are too heavy for me to carry. I am so exhausted. All I want is for you to kiss me, hug me, and hold me high in the air," Xu Que said, while opening his arms to Liu Jingning, as if he was a tiny baby who craved for care and love.
The Arrays of Spiritual Level are too heavy for you, and you are too tired to carry them around anymore? You are really too bitchy! You are a grown man, not a child! You want our Holy Virgin to kiss you, hug you, and hold you high?
The members of the Utopia Faction really thought Xu Que was being ridiculous.
Seeing a pile of Arrays of Spiritual Level, the cultivators of the Utopia Faction could no longer hide their excitement. The Sect Leaders of the Utopia Faction were so excited that their bodies began to tremble. Even the head took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Liu Jingning was also a bit shocked. Although she had already guessed that Xu Que had some Arrays, she never thought he had been carrying so many of them with him. When she heard that Xu Que would give all of them to her for free, she was stunned.
"Little Queque, you…"
Liu Jingning looked at Xu Que directly and was about to speak. Xu Que was still opening his arms to her. It seemed that if Liu Jingning did not do as he asked, he would not put his arms down. No matter how tough Liu Jingning was, she could not stand this anymore, in particular in front of all her peers.
"Stop behaving like this!"
Liu Jingning rolled her eyes and pretended to be angry.
Xu Que did not want to let her go and continued to hold his arms open to her.
"No, no, no, I will not put my arms down until you kiss me, hug me, and hold me high!"
Liu Jingning almost passed out, and then she realized that the reason why he was behaving like this was probably because of her. Just a few moments before, she had told everyone that there was nothing between her and Xu Que. Xu Que was a bit upset by this, so he was now proving there was something special between him and her.
Seeing Liu Jingning standing still, many young cultivators of the Utopia Faction got rather anxious.
Hug him, hug him, then you can get so many Arrays of Spiritual Level for free.
Still, Liu Jingning made no movement.
"Hug him!" A young cultivator accidentally shouted aloud. It was so loud that everyone in the room heard.
Liu Jingning glared at him.
While the next minute, all the other cultivators followed him.
"Hug him!"
"Hug! Hug! Hug!"
…
The Li Family stood there looking like fools.
All the Sect Leaders, as well as the head of the Utopia Faction, were silent and pretended that they could not hear the uproar.
"See, everyone is asking you to hug me!"
Xu Que laughed and smiled, while opening his arms for her.
Liu Jingning was feeling extremely awkward. Normally, she would flirt with Xu Que, or even have some physical contact with him, but she would only dare to do so when there were no other people around.
This time, Xu Que wanted her to do it in public, which was really embarrassing.
"Oops! I just searched my Storage Ring and I find another object which I do not need anymore!" Xu Que screamed on purpose.
In his palm, there was a round stone with an Array on its surface. The stone was transparent and was surrounded by a light black light, giving out a thick ancient Qi.
"This…this is the Ancient Scary Array!" A Sect Leader shouted aloud.
Hearing this, everyone in the main hall went mad.
They were surprised that Xu Que had an Ancient Scary Array, which was even more powerful than an Array of Spiritual Level.
The Sect Leaders looked at each other and took a deep breath together, as if they had made some agreement.
Then they joined the young cultivators shouting, "Kiss him!"
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
Liu Jingning was completely shocked and could not believe her always serious Sect Leaders were joined in the shouting.
"Oops! I found one more!" Xu Que took out another Ancient Scary Array!
The head of the Utopia Faction could not be calm any more and shouted, "Hold him high!"
…
Chapter 698: Raise Him Up!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Just raise him up!"
The Utopia Faction's leader shouted out this order in such a passionate, exciting way!
After a short period of silence, the entire hall was filled with uproar again!
"Raise him up!"
"Raise him up!"
"Raise him up!"
The apprentices and Elders of the Utopia Faction were shouting loudly and raising their arms rhythmically!
They really had no choice. Instead of Spiritual spells, what Xu Que took out and offered were two Ancient Ominous Spells!
Moral integrity was meaningless now! Moral integrity couldn't make the Utopia Faction more powerful!
…
Liu Jingning was in a mess at this time!
She widened her eyes and stared at the Faction Leader with disbelief.
How could the mighty and powerful Faction Leader say "Just raise him up"?
"Little sister, see, your Faction Leader also asked you to do that. Come on, come here and raise me up! Come on!" Xu Que was so delighted as he made faces at Liu Jingning, with a mean smile on his face.
"You are shameless!" Liu Jingning snorted as she stomped her feet. She was so anxious to give Xu Que a bite!
However, she was so embarrassed now. She had never been pushed by others in this way. More important, the ones who pushed her were members of the Utopia Faction, including the Elders and the Faction Leader!
"Little sister, do you still dare to be so naughty in the future?" Xu Que's voice came into her ears at this time.
She turned around and found Xu Que was sending her messages with his mean smile.
Liu Jingning knew Xu Que was seeking revenge for things that had happened before. Her heart was full of helplessness, but also great happiness.
This meant that he cared about her, and it was also a disguised declaration that there was a special relationship between them!
Moreover, in order to prove his words, Xu Que took out several Spiritual spells and two Ancient Ominous Spells without hesitation!
These precious gifts could definitely conquer numerous Holy Virgins in the World of Cultivators!
However, Liu Jingning wouldn't be subdued by Xu Que's tricks so easily. She widened her beautiful eyes slightly and sent a message, "Hmph! Little Queque, don't you worry I will tell this to Hongyan!"
"I'm not worried about that!" Xu Que said confidently, sticking out his chest.
Liu Jingning asked, "Really?"
Xu Que nodded his head, "Of course!"
"OK, I have kept it in my heart. When I enter the Ancient Bronze Hall, I will absolutely tell this to Hongyan!"
"No problem! But now you still have to kiss me, hug me, and raise me up! Come on, I'm ready!" Xu Que replied, sending a message with a smile.
Liu Jingning really had no choice. She stared at Xu Que embarrassedly and said decidedly at last, "I will never kiss you, hug you, and raise you up!"
"Are you sure?" Xu Que said with a smile.
"Sure!" Liu Jingning raised her delicate chin like a naughty little girl, who was quite cute and smart!
Xu Que smiled and turned to the Faction Leader of the Utopia Faction. Then, he exclaimed, "Faction Leader Mo, this is not good! Your Holy Virgin doesn't want to raise me up. My fragile heart has been hurt. I think it's time for me to go!"
Go?
Is the man of property going to leave?
We can't let this happen!
Hearing his words, the apprentices and the Faction Leader couldn't hold their seats anymore!
They couldn't accept that the cooked duck flew away!
All at once, the Faction Leader glared at Liu Jingning seriously and said in a majestic way, "Holy Virgin, since my young friend really likes you, you should satisfy his requirement by hugging him and raising him up!"
This last sentence was a pointed reminder to Liu Jingning that she should hug Xu Que and raise Xu Que up, so that they could obtain the two Ancient Ominous spells, and this was not negotiable!
Liu Jingning didn't look up but just bowed to the Faction Leader slightly and said in a low voice, "Faction Leader, I'm not feeling well now. I think you could hug him and raise him up! I guess he should be quite happy to get the glory!"
"…" The Faction Leader's eyes opened wide with shock. Apparently, he didn't expect that Liu Jingning would reply like this. He became instantly speechless. Although he was the mighty Faction Leader, it was still inappropriate to force their Holy Virgin to do what he was asking. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
Xu Que also smiled, for he also didn't expect Liu Jingning could be so smart that she managed to kick the ball back to her Faction Leader.
Then, the Faction Leader of the Utopia Faction, who didn't know what to do, had to turn to Xu Que again and say, clearing his throat, "My young friend, is it OK…if we find another person to raise you up?"
He looked down on Xu Que's strength. However, even though he was a mighty Faction Leader, he had to be polite to Xu Que who had two Ancient Ominous spells. Also, he couldn't take the spells forcibly, for he knew Xu Que had a kind of spell that could help him to escape instantly!
"Find another person?" Xu Que touched his jaw and pretended he was quite hesitant.
Actually, he didn't want to force Liu Jingning to raise him up in front of so many people. Even if Liu Jingning was willing to do that, Xu Que wouldn't accept that.
As the King of Tough-Acting, it would be quite humiliating for him to be raised up like a baby!
"Right, we can find another person!" The Faction Leader's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Que's hesitation.
"Then, I have to look around first!" Xu Que pretended to be cooperative and started to glanced at the apprentices in the hall.
In addition, he didn't look at the female apprentices and only fixed his eyes on the male apprentices. Seeing that, all the male apprentices of the Utopia Faction turned pale and lowered their heads hurriedly to avoid eye contact with Xu Que!
Xu Que enjoyed this scene where everyone lowered their heads in front of him very much.
At last, he started to glance at people of the Li Family and fixed his eyes on their young master!
The young master shivered a bit and widened his eyes. He couldn't help but step back because of the terror.
What does he mean?
Is this guy insane? Why is he staring at me?
Don't tell me he wants me to raise him up! Damn, no way!
"Young master of the Li Family, could you…," Xu Que said tentatively at this time.
The young master of the Li Family changed his expression abruptly and yelled, "Shut up, I won't raise you!"
"Eh?" Xu Que was surprised and said with a smile, "You won't raise me, are you sure?"
"Bullcrap! I am the young master of the Li Family! I will never raise you up! Moreover, this is something between you and the Utopia Faction! Why do you ask me to do that?" the young master snorted.
His heart was full of grievance. However, he could do nothing. Xu Que could take out the Ancient Ominous spells. No matter how reluctant the young master was, he couldn't change that fact and even had to see the two Ancient Ominous spells were obtained by the Utopia Faction!
"Alas, what a pity! You are so young, why can't you raise me up?" Xu Que sighed as he shook his head. Then, he turned to the Faction Leader of the Utopia Faction!
Seeing that, the Faction Leader shouted immediately, "Why are you looking at me? I won't raise you up either!"
…
…
Chapter 699: Where Is Your Sense of Integrity?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que could not believe his ears.
They all said they have erectile dysfunction? My goodness, this is so funny. I have never seen anyone brave enough to tell others that he has erectile dysfunction!
Xu Que looked at the head of the Utopia Faction and sighed, "I am sorry to hear this, but it's normal at your age!"
Hearing this, the head of the Utopia Faction was relieved and smiled. "Thank you for your consideration. I am really too old to hold you up. I think you'd better find someone else instead."
Xu Que gently touched his jaw and turned to look at the others.
Trying to avoid Xu Que's eyes, all the male cultivators of the Utopia Faction lowered their heads. Among them, an extremely strong cultivator accidently saw Xu Que's eyes and was terrified. "I am sorry. Although I look like a very strong guy, I also have erectile dysfunction!"
"So do I. I have been suffering from a very young age."
"So do I!"
Everyone backed off.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the main hall got very strange.
Anyone who Xu Que laid his eyes on would strangely have a case of erectile dysfunction.
"Little Queque, we need to get back to business. Put your Ancient Scary Array back where you keep it. The Ancient Scary Array is very precious. Don't take out it like this again!"
Liu Jingning sent a voice message to Xu Que.
In the past, if she spot an Ancient Scary Array, she would definitely risk everything to have it and gave it to the head of the Utopia Faction. However, somehow she regarded Xu Que's interest more important than that of the Utopia Faction.
Xu Que smiled and felt it was time to stop joking with them, after all, he had made a lots of Acting Tough Points which were enough to buy a few arrays of Spiritual level.
As for the Ancient Scary Array, he could return it back to the System if Liu Jingning really doesn't want it.
Since Xu Que upgraded the System into version 5.0, he found he could return something he bought from the System in a day, on condition that this certain object had never been used.
"You really don't want the Ancient Scary Array?!"
Xu Que sent a voice message to Liu Jingning.
In fact, if Liu Jingning wanted to have one, he would give one to her without any hesitation.
Then Liu Jingning shook her head and said.
"Put it away! Besides, I only want one array of Spiritual level from you, you can also put the rest of arrays away."
"No, I can put the Ancient Scary Array away, and when you agree to kiss me and hug me, I will give it to you for free; but as for these arrays, I have decided to give them to you, i have to stick to my words. To be honest, I really don't this these arrays are something really great."
Xu Que sent Liu Jingning a voice message.
"But I don't need to so many arrays right at this moment, and it is such a nuisance for me to carry so many arrays with me. I can even be aimed at by cultivators who want these arrays very much, wait a minute, does it mean you have decided to stay beside me and protect me?!"
Liu Jingning smiled.
"Well, you can have one array and give it to the Utopia Faction, as for the rest, you can have them whenever you want."
Xu Que thought for a while and said.
An array of Spiritual level costed more than a thousand Acting Tough Points, and it was not a big deal for Xu Que.
While an Ancient Scary Array was very expensive, two Ancient Scary Array would cost about thirty thousand Acting Tough Points in total. With all the Acting Tough Points he had currently, he felt it was better for him to be frugal.
Then Xu Que waved his hand and put the arrays as well as the Ancient Scary Array back into his System parcel.
Seeing this, the cultivators of the Utopia Faction were a bit unhappy.
What is he doing?
He has just said that he would give them to our Holy Virgin, why he suddenly takes them back?
"My dear friend, I am bit confused, why…?"
The head of the Utopia Faction was a bit anxious.
In fact, it was the first time for him to see an Ancient Scary Array.
"What?! You are not satisfied? I never thought that everyone in the famous Utopia Faction has ED, I am sorry but I have no idea what I can do. Never mind, I will give you an array of Spiritual level for now."
Xu Que said.
Hearing this, the head was a bit embarrassed.
As the head of the Utopia Faction, he could not lower himself to hold Xu Que up, and could not force his fellows to do so either.
The rest of the cultivators of the Utopia Faction and the Sect Leaders were all upset.
No one goes forward to hold him up?! For god's sake, we can have an Ancient Scary Array if any of us goes forward to hold him up, anyone will do! Maybe the female cultivators would want to hold him up, but apart from Liu Jingning, Xu Que only went for male cultivators…
Clearly, no male cultivator would like to to hold him up, since anyone who did so would be a laughing stock in the entire Cultivation World.
So they could do nothing but to watch Xu Que putting all the arrays away.
At the same time, Liu Jingning was sending a voice message to the head of the Utopia Faction, asking him what had happened in the Infinite Sea and why the Patriarchs all headed there.
Realizing Liu Jingning was sending voice message to the head, Xu Que sat on a chair and closed his eyes to have a rest.
Meanwhile, Li Tangshan and his son looked at each other and smiled together, as if they had reached to some agreement.
They had decided to kill Xu Que and take all the arrays away.
If Xu Que really gave his Ancient Scary Array to the Utopia Faction, it would not be easy for them to take it away. But if Xu Que still carried it around and once he left the Utopia Faction, they could kill him and have the Ancient Scary Array their own.
"Little Que Que, I know what has happened!"
Liu Jingning sent a voice message to Xu Que, who was taking a nap.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Liu Jingning's worried face.
"What has happened?"
Xu Que asked.
"Something big is going to happen across the four Continents, and it has something to do with Hongyan. We shall head to the Infinite Sea now, and I will tell you what happened on our way there!"
Liu Jingning said.
"Good!"
Xu Que nodded.
Then Liu Jingning and Xu Que said goodbye to the head of the Utopia Faction, and was about to leave.
The head of the Utopia Faction looked at Li Tangshan with a complex facial expression and said.
"You must be very tired after a long journey, why not stay here for a few more couple of days and I will let you have a great time here!"
"Thank you, but we still have something urgent to deal with, so I am afraid that we will leave too."
Li Tangshan said coldly and left with his peers.
After a while, the head of the Utopia Faction stood up and frowned.
"It seems that they are going to take the Ancient Scary Array away from Xu Que!"
A Sect Leader shook his head.
"That young man is still too young and naive, he should not have taken out the Ancient Scary Array and show it off. Anyone would want to rob him when knowing there is an Ancient Scary Array with him!"
"Do you think we should send some cultivators to help him? After all, our Holy Virgin is with him, what if…"
Hearing this, the head of the Utopia Faction smiled.
"I don't think so. That young man has the Divine Tracking Emblem, the Li Family can not catch up with him."
In fact, if it were not for Xu Que's having the Divine Tracking Emblem, the Utopia Faction would have already taken the Ancient Scary Array away themselves.
"But…" a Sect Leader said in a low voice, "Jingning was behaving rather strange just now, I can feel her attitude towards Xu Que was a bit different."
The other Sect Leaders also nodded.
"I am afraid there must be romance between them!"
"I don't think we should encourage this. Although Xu Que has got many treausres, but he is far more inferior to our Holy Virgin, both in terms of his social class and strength."
"Most importantly, that Xu Que is notorious in the Cultivation World, and many cultivators hate him. If our Holy Virgin is being too close to him, I am afriad us Utopia Faction would be affected."
"My goodness! He gave us an array of Spiritual level for free today, once this news spreads out, people would think we are in the same boat with Xu Que!"
Al of a sudden, the few Sect Leaders frowned and got very worried.
Hearing this, the head of the Utopia Faction sighed.
"This is exactly what I am concerned about, but that is an array of Spiritual level for god's sake! How can I possibly refuse to accept?!"
No one said anything.
After a while, the head of Utopia Faction said in a low voice.
"I have got an idea, you go and spread the news that Xu Que is a man with no integrity at all. Back in the Mysterious Land Trial in the South Continent, he caused so much pain and loss to us. So today he came himself to apologize to us and gave us an array of Spiritual level as compensation."
Hearing this, a Sect Leader asked in hesitation.
"Do you really mean this?"
"Bang!"
A few rays of light were flying towards the main hall rather quickly.
A few Sect Leaders turned around and asked in great surprise.
"I thought the Elder Sect Leaders are still in the South Continent, why on earth they hurriedly come back? Can it be possible that something bad happens?"
The next moment, a few figures landed and hurriedly went inside the main hall.
"We have been told that a troublemaker is heading to the Utopia Faction!"
An Elder Sect Leader said hurriedly as soon as he stepped into the main hall.
"Who is the troublemaker then?!"
The Sect Leaders were shocked to see the Elder Sect Leader getting so nervous for the very first time and began to wonder who the troublemaker really was.
The Elder Sect Leader said hurriedly.
"That troublemaker is called Xu Que. I think you must have all heard of him before, he is really a dangerous figure! You know what, he punched the Patriarchs of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe to death with only three shots! Someone told me that he is going to come to us soon!"
"What? Xu Que?!"
Hearing this, everyone in the main hall was stunned, so did the head of the Utopia Faction, who sat still on the chair, as if he had lost his soul."
Pinching the Patriarchs of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe to death with only three shots?! This can not be possible!
No one could really believe that they have been just told.
"Yes! That's him!" the Elder Sect Leader nodded, "I was right at the neighboring of the Mysterious Land when this happened. I saw him walking out from the Mysterious Land with our Holy Virgin. The Patriarchs of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe attacked him first, and then Xu Que killed him. Anyway, this young man is really scary, if he really comes here, we should never make him unhappy!"
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
My goodness! What Xu Que said earlier is true, now I think of it, he said all of this rather calmly, as if he was telling a story or something.
No wonder he dared to take the Ancient Scary Array like that without worrying that someone might sneakattack him. He is very confident that no one can really kill him, not because he has the Divine Tracking Emblem that could help him run away.
No wonder he said that he had the right to disagree with the engagement between the son of Li Family and Liu Jingning, because he is the Xu Que, who is going to be famous across the entire four Continents.
"How dangerous!"
A Sect Leader wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and said.
Earlier, the few Sect Leaders were almost about to rob Xu Que, if they really have done so, the entire Utopia Faction would have already been wiped out by now.
The Patriarchs of the Utopia Faction had already gone to the Infinite Sea, and even if they were still here, they could not possibly kill Xu Que.
"What do you mean by saying that?!"
The Eldert Sect Leader asked.
The few Sect Leaders looked at each other and told what had transpired earlier to the Elder Sect Leader.
When the Elder Sect Leader knew what had happened, he was nearly frightened to death.
"You are realy foolish, he won't come here without full preparations. Thank god you have not got into a fight with him, otherwise, it would be catastrophe if you did so."
Then he sighed and looked at downhills with a sentimental look.
"I am afraid that this time the Li Family is in deep trouble!"
Robbing someone who was able to kill a Patriarchs who was in the Form Synthesis Stage was tantamount to taking suicide.
"Bang!"
The head of the Utopia Faction knocked on the table heavily and suddenly stood up.
"Spread the news that Xu Que is such a talented and diligent man and is the model of today's young people. It is a great honour that he come here today and he has given us an array of Spiritual level as the betrothal present and is going to marry Liu Jingning, the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction."
Hearing this, everyone in the main hall was surprised and stood still.
The few Sect Leaders looked at each other with funny facial expressions and could not believe their ears.
Where is your sense of integrity?
