Chapter 1460: Blow Up This Sky!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Sure enough, the Five Elements of Archean Chaos controls everything."
Buttface looked grave, but then the corner of his mouth raised slightly into a sneer. "Oh, but this humanoid lightning of Xiao Rou was only doing that for vanity. After all, the constitution of Xiao Rou's humanoid lightning has not fully grown up, and, as a result, her power to control the Five Elements of Archean Chaos is a little weak."
"Weak, my *ss. His flame was taken away and extinguished as soon as it came out. Even if her power is limited, he obviously can't match it, can he?" Duan Jiude rolled his eyes.
"You know nothing." Buttface immediately glared at him and said, very contemptuously, "What's the big deal if only a small piece of flame has been taken away. Even if she can take away one, or maybe even ten of the flames, I don't believe that she can take 100 or more over and over again."
"Huh?" Duan Jiude listened to Buttface and seemed to think of something. His eyes started shining. "Ha, ha, ha, I understand! What you're talking about are the ones that we set in advance… "
"Yes, they were originally intended to dupe these fools here and demonstrate the domineering nature of our Exploding Heavens Faction as we finished off the ten Celestial Kings, but now, seemingly, he's going to use them here right now," Buttface said with a smile.
"Ha, ha, ha, it's suddenly getting interesting." Duan Jiude also smiled.
At the same time, Xu Que, in the restricted zone, raised his hand again.
PUFF!
Three different-colored flames instantly appeared, suspended in front of Xu Que.
At the moment when the three flames appeared, the void twisted instantly. The high temperatures and the extremely violent energy in the blazes made the void unstable.
"What powerful flames!"
All the onlookers were horrified. Such mighty flames, and three of them at the same time.
WHOOSH!
Xiao Rou's humanoid lightning waved its hand again.
The three flames were captured in an instant and flew to her. They immediately dissipated in the air and turned into three wisps of white smoke.
"What does he want to do?" The woman in black frowned.
"This man knows that the flame will be extinguished, why does he keep creating it?"
"No matter what he wants to do, it's useless. With my trainee sister's constitution, anything of the Five Elements can be controlled by her," Nishang Fairy said airily.
However, Xu Que, in the restricted area, was also very calm.
With a smile on his face, he looked at Xiao Rou's humanoid lightning.
"Xiao Rou, do you like these flames?"
"These flames are quite dangerous, but since you like them, let's give them to you."
"I said, I will give you whatever you like."
He spoke with a faint smile, the tone very calm, with a kind of caring love.
He suddenly raised his hands.
BOOM!
The ground was instantly broken up by a considerable force. Three different-colored flames rose up from the field and turned into three huge waterfalls of flame.
"Are these enough?"
He asked softly, with not a trace of irony in his tone. He was being totally sincere. He was bringing all the mystical fires to present to the humanoid lightning of Xiao Rou.
"If that's not enough, I have more," he said again. And then he started shouting, "Where are the members of the Exploding Heavens Faction?"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The ground suddenly exploded in all directions. Sand and gravel splashed through the air.
Black figures appeared out of it.
In a flash, this restrictive spell was full of people.
Each figure was dressed in a black robe, with a red mask on its face, and gold characters were printed on the front of their chests: Exploding Heavens Faction.
BOOM!
Dozens of figures waved their hands at the same time, and three fiery flames surged out from everyone's feet and turned into three pillars of fire!
The void in the whole restrictive spell was twisted and shrouded in a high temperature.
HISS!
All the onlookers took a deep breath and were totally dumbfounded.
"The Exploding Heavens Faction?"
"Mother of God, it turns out so many people from the Exploding Heavens Faction were hiding underground."
"And every one had these three kinds of flames?"
Nishang Fairy and the woman in black were frozen to their spots.
This scene was entirely unexpected.
Under the order of Xu Que, so many people of the Exploding Heavens Faction had shown up.
"These flames are all for you."
As Xu Que said this, more than half of the figures were moving, with large columns of flame, toward the humanoid lightning of Xiao Rou.
Each figure walked, without the slightest murderous aura, very calm, silent, as if going forward to death.
And now the humanoid lightning finally revealed its defects.
Although it could control the Five Elements, when so many mystical fires had gathered together, then the situation was already beyond her control.
She attempted to gain control and wiped out many different flames, but many others rose up and were sent to her again and again. Those whose mystical fires had been put out returned with another.
"It's…"
Everyone watching was stunned and couldn't understand what Xu Que was doing.
"Sending flames?"
"What was the point of sending flames to the humanoid lightning like this?"
"Ha, ha, ha, not flames. He's sending warmth!" Buttface smiled.
"I'm moved." Duan Jiude sighed.
At the same time, Xu Que looked at Xiao Rou's humanoid lightning and whispered, "It seems too much. It's okay. I'll keep the rest."
When he'd finished speaking, Xu Que waved his hand, and the other figures gathered around him.
Their actions were consistent with those of Xu Que. They stood there, lifted their heads, and gazed at the sky. A majestic murderous aura escaped from them.
WHOOSH!
He made a decision and, suddenly, there swept out a wisp of light, which rushed toward and attached itself to the first three huge pillars of flame and tried to squeeze them together.
The rest of the figures also followed his actions one after another, squeezing three big pillars of flame together.
"What…what are they doing?" Everyone was taken aback.
"The attributes of these three flames are not compatible at all. Why do they want to squeeze these flames together?"
"Are they crazy?"
"What is the difference between doing this and committing suicide?"
"Oh, this move!" Zixia Fairy smiled and recalled that Xu Que, in the secret land of the South Continent, had destroyed half of her medicinal garden with this move.
Outside the restrictive spell, the woman in black and Nishang Fairy were also shocked.
"He wants to condense these flames to deal with humanoid lightning?" Nishang Fairy frowned.
"It doesn't feel like this. With this person's strength, if he wanted to fight, it would've been enough to destroy the humanoid lightning. Why bother to make such a scene?" The woman in black shook her head.
"What does he want to do?" Nishang Fairy asked.
BOOM!
Just then, there came a dull noise from inside the restrictive spell.
Suddenly, in front of Xu Que and dozens of members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, there appeared a huge three-color Fiery Lotus.
The Fiery Lotus was about as big as half a person, its color enchanting. It was floating in front of them and slowly rotating.
"Exploding Heavens Faction," Xu Que suddenly shouted loudly, pointing to the sky and roaring, "blow up this sky!"
"Yes, Master!" Their deafening roar echoed in the air. It was earth-shattering!
Dozens of figures, all at the same time, raised their hands, facing the sky, palms pressing forward to the sky!
BANG!
There was a loud noise.
Countless huge three-color Fiery Lotuses suddenly rose up, with violent energy, and rushed through the void up into the sky!
hapter 1461: He Actually Did It
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
WHOOSH!
Dozens of huge Fiery Lotuses flew up into the sky before the horrified gazes of all the onlookers.
These lotuses were more enchanting than flowers, more dazzling than flowers. Slowly rotating, the petals interwove with flames as they bloomed high up in the sky.
BOOM!
It was supposed to be a beautiful picture of blooming flowers, but instead it caused a series of deafening explosions.
The sky was blown up in an instant in what resembled an incredible display of fireworks.
The void was twisted, burned by the blazing fireworks, whose dazzling brilliance pervaded the sky.
A substantial, invisible fierce wave of anger spread from all the centers of the Fiery Lotuses out, and its violent impact swept over thousands of miles.
POOF! POOF! POOF!
Inside Tian Sha City, many low-stage cultivators snorted, spit out mouthfuls of blood, and sat down on the ground with pale faces.
Even though they'd stayed in Tian Sha City and the explosions of the Fiery Lotuses had been far away from them, they were still injured.
No one could fight against a destructive power of this kind, which was horribly intense.
All the cultivators were shocked by what they had seen and felt and were extremely frightened.
"This is just what he said he'd do, blow up the sky. I guess this was blowing up the sky…" Some people stared at the messy sky, murmured, and looked somehow a little enchanted.
"Who are they? Is the Exploding Heavens Faction, seriously…, is everyone there… is it so strong and powerful?" Someone looked at the dozens of black-robed members standing with Xu Que and shivered.
"I'm afraid even Celestial Kings can��t stand this kind of destructive power!"
"Even if it's not fatal, it's enough to make people afraid," someone said in a deep voice, making a rational analysis.
Around this time, the flames in the sky began to dissipate slowly.
The glorious brightness slowly faded, but the sky in front of everyone was a real mess.
HISS!
The only sound left for the audience to make was to inhale a deep breath.
Everyone's eyes were dull, and their bodies couldn't help trembling.
The whole sky, at the moment, was fragmented and full of cracks.
If one looked carefully, it was possible to see countless cracks in the void that looked like crescent moons, and the void resembled a dress that had a pattern of crescent moons cut out by people with scissors.
The sky was frightening. It was visible and untouchable!
You could see the sky when you looked up, but no matter how high you flew up, you would never touch it.
Therefore, in the beginning, when Xu Que had shouted that he was going to blow up the sky, except for Buttface and Duan Jiude, the other cultivators present hadn't taken this seriously.
What they'd paid attention to was Xu Que's wild talk and lack of respect for Heaven.
Now they were dumbfounded, feeling that a new world had opened up for them, and they suddenly realized that this was blowing up the sky as Xu Que had said a moment ago.
This was a real action of blowing up the sky.
The broken void cracks could be seen in the sky, which belonged to Heaven.
Therefore, this man had actually blown up the sky.
"Interesting, and…also a good lesson for me! This person has really surprised me. Even if he was in the Celestial Cloud Continent, he would definitely be a ruthlessly strong person and maybe famous all over the world." Outside the restrictive spell, the woman in black commented in a deep voice after she'd recovered from what she'd seen.
This time, her tone was without a bit of ridicule, and even the name of Xu Que had changed from "this little guy" to "this person"!
Even if she was a Celestial Prime, she couldn't treat Xu Que as a junior who could be handled by her at will anymore.
"This kind of behavior is really too surprising. At least from ancient times until now, no one has ever done such a thing." Nishang Fairy also nodded and frowned.
"But…," she continued, "what shocked me the most was that this promise was realized, even though this tactic was actually not as powerful as we'd thought it would be. Tearing apart the void, any normal Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven could do it."
"You're right, but the key to this situation is that he could use this very low-level method to cause such destructive power. Don't you think that's scary?" The woman in black smiled and looked at Nishang Fairy.
Nishang Fairy was silent.
It was undeniable that the three-color Fiery Lotus was indeed a very low-level spell in their eyes, not profound at all.
He just took three kinds of Fiery Lotuses with different attributes and forcibly merged them and squeezed them. In this way, he took the use of the energy of mutual rejection between the flames to cause such destructive power.
However, its defect was also apparent: its range was too broad. The seemingly dominant destructive power was actually not concentrated.
If this kind of power could burst out at one point, it would be terrible.
However, if this power was scattered, it could only cause a visual impact on people, while very impractical in the eyes of some strong people.
For example, Xu Que's three-colored Fiery Lotus was used this time for venting his anger.
If an opponent was of the same or higher stage, the power of the three-colored Fiery Lotus could no longer kill the opponent as before, and, at most, only bring trauma to him.
However, it was no big deal for this kind of trauma at this stage because of their strong self-healing abilities.
On the other hand, as the woman in black had said, it was just amazing that Xu Que could use such a low-level method to create such significant destructive power.
Moreover, he actually blew up the sky. It was astounding and shocking to see so many void cracks in the sky.
"However, all this is useless! He's just venting his anger. Do you really think that Heaven will take back a Heaven Test because of him?" Nishang Fairy shook her head.
In her eyes, all Xu Que's behavior was just nonsense.
"You provoked Heaven's power and burst the sky, so what?"
"Did he really think he could command Heaven?"
"He was just too ignorant and simpleminded."
"That's not necessarily so. I think this person has a kind of fearlessness, perhaps a Taoist Connotation…"
"Huh?What's he doing?" The woman in black, without finishing what she was saying, looked at the restrictive spell with astonishment.
At that moment, Xu Que had rushed up to the sky, holding the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod, with an intense killing aura.
The dozens of black robes at his side also followed one after another. Each figure, at the same time, waved its hand and took out the same Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod.
All of these figures also gushed with rage and rushed up to the sky.
"D*mn!"
"What's this?"
"After the bombing, why won't he stop?"
"My goodness! Each of them has a stick in his hand. They're all High-Grade Celestial Artifacts!"
The whole audience was shocked by this sudden scene, and there was an uproar!
Buttface also paused and shouted, "No big deal. Everyone who joins our Exploding Heavens Faction will get a High-Grade Celestial Artifact!"
After hearing that, all the cultivators here scowled a bit to themselves.
"A High-Grade Celestial Artifact for everyone in the Exploding Heavens Faction?"
��D*mn, how resourceful was this Exploding Heavens Faction! Were their resources so substantial?"
"That's a High-Grade Celestial Artifact! Even Celestial Kings don't necessarily have a High-Grade Celestial Artifact. They're only Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven in the Exploding Heavens Faction, and they all had the same High-Grade Celestial Artifact."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to declare that this kind of High-Grade Celestial Artifact is an entry-level weapon in our Exploding Heavens Faction. We have a regular production line with reliably high quality. Any weapons from our Exploding Heavens Faction must be refined ones."
Speaking of which, Buttface said, "Shortly, the refinery building of the Exploding Heavens Faction, which was founded by me, will open, and those who are interested can come to visit."
"Sh*t, at a time like this, you're still in the mood to joke? Don't you see Xu Que is going crazy?" Duan Jiude castigated Buttface.
It was really an unwise move for Xu Que to rush up to the sky full of void cracks. If he were to be swallowed up by the void cracks, he might be exiled or lost in the void forever.
"I'm serious! I really want to open a refining building! As for that man, it's not the first time he's gone crazy. Anyway, I'm not worried," Buttface responded airily.
He knew Xu Que very well: he never did things he wasn't sure about. If there were things he worried about, he'd usually do them himself. He would never have taken so many replicas with him if he was worried, which meant obviously he wasn't crazy.
"It makes sense!" Duan Jiude paused and nodded. "Sh*t, I almost got deceived, but…what does he want to do this time?"
"This…this is beyond my imagination!" Buttface scratched the back of the head and shook his head.
Everyone focused on Xu Que and the dozens of black robes.
They rose up with the wind and held high the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rods, just like a group of ancient magic soldiers fighting against the sky.
"Exploding Heavens Faction!"
Finally, Xu Que shouted loudly and gave orders, with the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod in his hand, pointing to the sky, "Break this sky for me!"
"Yes, Master!" Dozens of figures shouted in unison.
Without hesitation, the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rods, shining in the air, were poked into the void cracks, one after another, straight into the cracks!]
Chapter 1462: Dissipating the Heaven Test
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
BOOM!
An earth-shattering, deafening sound, like millions of thuderclaps exploding at once, roared from out of the sky!
"Break!" Xu Que shouted loudly, and as the veins in his arms stood out suddenly and violently, he clenched the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod and swept it into a crack of the void and then abruptly pulled it out savagely.
The void crack was torn apart in an instant and became enormous.
The dozens of his followers mimicked his movements one after another, in a neat and uniform fashion, tearing up the remaining void cracks
For a moment, the sky, which had been full of void cracks, was actually torn apart. This was beyond anything that anyone was able to imagine.
These cracks had been torn apart by the Acting-Tough King's Purple-Gold Rod, then merged with other torn-open cracks, and expanded into many enormous holes in the void.
BANG!
Finally, with a sound like a nuclear explosion, the vast sky unexpectedly turned into an enormous void hole. The unfettered wind rolled out of it and blew into a hurricane-like storm, which swept across the dozens of replicas and Xu Que with furious intent.
All the people looking on were stunned and shocked.
No one thought that Xu Que would've been able to come up with such a move. After all, he had really broken the sky! He'd made a mind-boggling enormous hole, an actual hole in the sky!
"This…strength is too strong!"
"Did he just tear up the void?"
"This is so horrible!"
Many people marveled and were shocked by the power of Xu Que and the other members of the Exploding Heavens Faction.
First, they'd blown up the sky and made so many void cracks. To be honest, a normal Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven could also use a spell to tear the void.
But now they were tearing the void again with brute force.
This was not what a normal Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven would or could do. A normal Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven wouldn't do such a thing. He wouldn't be able to do it, and he wouldn't dare do it.
For many cultivators, the void cracks themselves were very dangerous. With just a simple mistake, someone could be sucked in and lost in the abyss of the darkness of the void forever. Also, the void cracks were often accompanied by the appearance of wind blades. The average cultivator's physical body couldn't withstand those wind blades.
But Xu Que and his men had not only rushed to the void cracks, but also used their Celestial Artifacts to tear up the cracks, directly poking a big hole out of the sky and, as a result, causing the wind-blade storm.
At this moment, Xu Que was just standing in front of the biggest hole, letting the wind blades scratch his body, which was unscathed.
Although all the people had seen the Ancient Catastrophes hit Xu Que directly on his body before and not hurt him, they were still stunned. After all, that had been the Heaven Test that they'd heard of before as a legend, but it had never been felt by the cultivators themselves. However, many cultivators had actually encountered wind blades. Knowing their horrible power, they were more able to make a comparison.
WHOOSH!
Just then, several of the men in black robes behind Xu Que suddenly swayed, and then were swished away by the wind-blade storm. Immediately, they were sucked into the enormous black hole and disappeared.
"Sh*t, something happened!"
"They're really getting burned playing with fire!"
All the onlookers exclaimed as they watched this shocking incident.
They'd thought this kind of move was very dangerous, and they hadn't expected Xu Que to actually do it with others from the Exploding Heavens Faction. Now something terrible had actually happened, and several of them had been sucked into the void. Undoubtedly they were gone forever, exiled in the void forever, which was worse than death.
However, Buttface and Duan Jiude looked indifferent.
Xu Que also showed an expressionless face and didn't seem to take this matter seriously.
A few replicas had just been sucked away. What was the big deal? What he'd lost was just a little Soul Strength, which could be recovered quickly.
But when their expressions were seen by others, it made people gasp.
HISS! "Why don't they have any reactions?"
"They are just too cold-blooded."
"They are still so calm when their friends have been sucked away by the void."
Many people are stunned.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
At that moment, there were several more black robes sucked away by the void because of the sharp wind blades.
They were just replicas, and their real strength was far from comparable to Xu Que's.
But everyone was upset to see this.
"What is going on? Why don't they run away?"
"My god, they've been sucked away just like that, but they still refuse to leave?"
"Are they crazy?"
Many people felt very sad and couldn't stand to see so many geniuses exiled and lost in the void. What a pity!
"Exploding Heavens Faction!"
At that moment, Xu Que opened his mouth again, looking at the dozens of figures around the humanoid lightning of Xiao Rou. He shouted loudly, "All of you, come here and blow up a few more holes in the sky. I don't want to see any more sky in the Heaven Continent!"
BOOM!
After hearing what he'd said, the onlookers went into an uproar.
No one could calm down. They were all very upset.
"Was this guy really crazy?"
In order to make this black hole, he'd already lost nearly ten top masters of the Exploding Heavens Faction. After which, he still refused to give up, and instead ordered them to continue to blow up the sky?
The point was, this crazy man threatened to have the Heaven Continent with no sky anymore.
Sh*t, this was just going too far!
"Heaven has eyes," Nishang Fairy said coldly. "He's just committing suicide by doing what he's doing."
"Ha, ha, ha, it seems that you really want him dead." The woman in black laughed.
"What's good does it do for him to be alive?" Nishang Fairy responded.
The woman in black shrugged her shoulders and sneered.
In her view, Xu Que was indeed a disaster, but it was not up to her, Nishang Fairy, or any others to decide whether he was going to live or die.
This was also the reason why she didn't like the Sacred Moon Palace. People there were so full of self-righteousness and morality, but at the same time meddled around in everyone else's affairs.
"Blow it up, blow it up!" Xu Que's order sounded from the clouds.
He raised his arm and gestured, and dozens of figures rushed away from the humanoid lightning of Xiao Rou and all the mystical fires were condensed.
BOOM…!!
All of a sudden, there was a muffled sound that rang out from the sky, like a real angry roar of Heaven.
All the onlookers were scared and trembled. They looked up to the sky in awe.
God was angry!
Everyone could feel that Heaven's power was increasing sharply.
"Xu Que is going to die." Someone whispered.
"He shouldn't have done this. He could've simply finished the humanoid lightning, but he didn���t do that. He was trying to force Heaven to take away the lightning."
"This is simply insane."
"Heaven's power must be respected."
"Everyone knows that Heaven can't be threatened. If he can really force Heaven to take away the Heaven Test, I will…" A monk vowed something or other.
However, before he could finish speaking, everyone was stunned.
A cultivator who was just about to swear swallowed the unfinished words in his throat.
The whole audience was shell-shocked, looking at the humanoid lightning of Xiao Rou, which was slowly dissipating.
The large area of collapsing clouds in the sky was also rapidly retreating. Everything seemed to be sunny as after the rain, extremely sudden and unexpected.
"How…is this possible?"
"He actually had Heaven take the test away?"
"D*mn, he succeeded in threatening Heaven."
"Mother of God, how can this kind of thing… "
No one could believe what was happening.
Even Nishang Fairy and the woman in black were standing there with dull faces. They were shocked.
"This person could actually force Heaven to make concessions?"
"Oh, that was nothing," Buttface said proudly.
"What do you mean?" Duan Jiude pretended to ask.
"It means he's added a lot of money into the System." Buttface laughed wildly and looked at the frightened crowd of onlookers.
"Dumbfounded? Scared? My brother Xu Que had already charged money into the System in advance, and everything was arranged. How are you going to compete with him? Chang Duangeng, your time has come. Have you prepared your own coffin yet?"
Chapter 1463: Some Gifts
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Buttface's laughter resounded through the crowd of onlookers.
Xu Que had forced Heaven to take his last test back, which meant that he had succeeded in passing all the Heaven Tests.
He had passed them in such an outstanding way that everyone who had witnessed this was shocked.
"Chang Duangeng, answer me quickly." Buttface snorted, looking extremely arrogant.
Previously, Chang Duangeng had led his people to shout against Xu Que. After the arrival of the ten Celestial Kings, Chang Duangeng had become even more arrogant toward the Exploding Heavens Faction. How could Buttface possibly miss this opportunity to get back at him?
However, there was no response from Chang Duangeng.
"Sh*t, Buttface, stop yelling. That old b*stard has already run away," Duan Jiude said, feeling frustrated.
"What?" Buttface immediately exclaimed and turned to look at the rear of the crowd.
Sure enough, he had already slipped away with his family.
"D*mn, when did he run away?" Buttface was furious. All this time, he'd been focusing on Xu Que's passing the Heaven Tests, and he hadn't expected Chang Duangeng to flee when he felt things weren't going favorably for him.
Ji Qinghan and Ji Wuyun, the elder sister and the brother, were still standing in their original places, and they had been completely flabbergasted by Xu Que.
Even if Ji Wuyun had guessed that the Exploding Heavens Faction was mysterious and powerful, he certainly had never expected it to be so powerful.
The woman in black was still standing around, horrified and unbelieving. "What is this? Heaven, how could it give in to him?"
"He must've played some kind of trick," Nishang Fairy said in a low voice.
She couldn't accept this. In the Celestial Cloud Continent, cultivators were full of reverence for Heaven, and their Immortal Emperor was titled the Son of Heaven, only one stage lower than Heaven.
Heaven was the father to all the Celestial Emperors.
But now Xu Que had not only blown up the sky, stabbed an enormous hole in it ,and even succeeded in forcing Heaven to give in to him.
If this had happened in the Celestial Cloud Continent, it would have meant that Xu Que had not only blown up the Celestial Emperor's father, but also stabbed him, and gotten away with this escapade with no consequences.
"This person is morally corrupt. If he's allowed to continue to live, the world will be ruined sooner or later," Nishang Fairy said coldly, the murderous aura in her body surging out again.
"Well, I find this really obnoxious. You, just like everyone in the Sacred Moon Palace, spend all your time trying to find reasons to kill people," The woman in black said.
Nishang Fairy ignored her. Her eyes were already fixed on Xu Que. As soon as Xu Que stepped out of the restrictive spell, she wouldn't hesitate to kill him.
Whether it was for the sake of Xiao Rou, or to make the world a better place, she felt she had enough reason to kill.
BOOM!
Suddenly, in the restrictive spell, a loud sound rang out.
Xu Que fell from the air, and dozens of the replicas started fading away.
To the people watching, these replicas fading away seemed like a magic art, but in fact it was just a common practice.
The big hole in the sky that had been dug out by Xu Que was gradually shrinking as the normal sky was returning.
Everything was regaining its previous calm. Although in fact everything was impossible to recover.
The ten Celestial Kings from the Divine Farmer Clan and other forces had all died here, their souls were gone. They were impossible to revive.
Xu Que had also changed.
He was no longer at the Human Celestial or Earth Celestial stage. Indeed, he had already jumped to the stage of Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven and successfully entered the top ranks of the Heaven Continent.
A large number of thunderclaps from the Ancient Catastrophes had been condensed in his body, and integrated with his flesh, and an invisible sense of Heaven's power was apparent around his body.
WHOOSH!
With a muffled sound, Xu Que's figure, shaking slightly, suddenly disappeared from its original place and appeared the next second directly at the gates of Tian Sha City.
His majestic pressure forced countless cultivators present to feel suffocated.
"F*ck, man, after the Heaven Tests, you're even stronger," Buttface shouted.
Before the end of the Heaven Tests, although Xu Que had been a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, his power had not been that enormous. However, after the Heaven Tests, his power had instantly improved, as he had become a real Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven.
"Sh*t, look at your physical body. It's really enviable." Duan Jiude looked at Xu Que with envy.
Of course, he could see that Xu Que had been able to pass the Heaven Tests mainly because of his physical body.
"All right, stop your flattery, because it's time to check out some old friends." Xu Que smiled coldly, staring deep into the distance, exactly in the direction of the Ziwei Celestial Realm.
On this trip, he would go to the Heaven Palace Academy first, where he would finish off a group of old b*stards and rescue Jiang Hongyan. Next he would go on to the Sage Sect, which he would level to the ground.
"I'm sorry, but you can't go anywhere now." Suddenly, an ice-cold voice could be heard.
Xu Que frowned and turned around to see Nishang Fairy and the woman in black who had suddenly appeared outside Tian Sha City, only a few hundred yards from him.
"Hey, it's you again. You're ancestors of which force?" Xu Que, looking quite indifferent, answered in a joking manner.
It was not that he had the confidence that he could defeat Nishang Fairy and the woman in black. After all, they were two Celestial Primes. There was no way for Xu Que to beat them.
However, if he couldn't beat them, he could still run.
In the past, he'd had the Celestial Grade Escape Emblem with him, but the Void Tunnel used by the Celestial Grade Escape Emblem was easy to sabotage.
This time was different. Xu Que had the power of a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, and he was able to escape with Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the others.
"They aren't from the Heaven Continent." Zixia Fairy slowly came over and stood beside Xu Que, staring at Nishang Fairy with sharp, indifferent eyes.
Nishang Fairy and the woman in black seemed to have been unaware of the existence of Zixia Fairy until then. They suddenly paused a little.
"Zixia Fairy, how did you manage to end up here?" The woman in black was surprised.
Nishang Fairy frowned and said coldly, "Are you here to take him to the Celestial Cloud Continent and my trainee sister?"
"What I want to do has nothing to do with you!" Zixia Fairy responded coolly and then her tone got harsher. "If you dare to touch him, you won't be able to return to the Celestial Cloud Continent!"
"Shi Qingxuan, how dare you? You know that this person can't appear in the Celestial Cloud Continent, but still you've come back to find him, and now you try to protect him. Do you really want to fight against the Imperial Palace?" Nishang shouted at her, calling her out by her real name.
Zixia Fairy sneered. "Ling Nishang, you can't scare me with your Sacred Moon Palace. Do you think you can scare me with the name of the Imperial Palace?"
"No, I'm not going to frighten you with the name of the Imperial Palace, but if you want to protect this person, I don't mind. Instead of the Imperial Palace, I'll kill you." Nishang Fairy was also sneering.
"Try me!" Zixia Fairy smiled again.
The two of them were staring at each other, their eyes like razors, full of gunpowder, as if they could fight each other at any time.
"Qingxuan!" At this time, Xu Que suddenly opened his mouth.
Zixia Fairy paused a little and looked at Xu Que, who was shaking his head gently at her, a sign for her to stop.
Nishang Fairy and the woman in black also paused, with a strange expression of astonishment.
"Qingxuan?"
"This man had actually called Zixia Fairy Qingxuan?"
Xu Que's face was full of smiles, as his eyes slightly narrowed. He looked at Nishang Fairy and the woman in black and said: "You two are from the Imperial Palace and also the sisters of my Xiao Rou. I'm sorry if I was rude."
"Shut up, my sister has nothing to do with you. If you dare…" Nishang Fairy shouted sharply.
However, Xu Que ignored her words and interrupted, "Since everyone is here, I have to present some gifts to the two of you since it's our first meeting. What would make a good present? I wonder if the two of you would like an Ancient Catastrophe right now?"
Speaking of which, Xu Que suddenly raised his arm and shouted at the sky, "Thunder!"
Chapter 1464: Don't Trust Him
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
BOOM!
Xu Que pushed his palm toward the sky. It seemed as if the entire sky was under his control. A low noise started to sound in the void.
Immediately, everyone's expressions changed. This fellow had just completed a bunch of Heavenly Tribulations, and he already wanted to do another one? Hadn't he had enough?
"Stop! What are you doing? Wait a minute." The woman in black shouted at Xu Que, with her face full of amazement.
She looked solemnly at Xu Que and explained herself. "I'm not from the Heaven Palace. I don't come from the same place as she does. I have no ill intentions toward you, and I'm only here for entertainment."
"For entertainment? Oh, do you really think that I'm going to believe that?" Xu Que sneered, his palm still facing the sky. He had a majestic aura which
gave others a feeling that he had the ability to call a Heavenly Tribulation at any moment.
It was this feeling that made the woman in black unable to remain calm, and why she'd hurriedly stood up to explain herself.
She'd really had no plans to attack Xu Que, and she was purely there for entertainment. How could she have been innocently dragged into a Heavenly Tribulation with Nishang Fairy?
This was an Ancient Catastrophe he was calling down. In the event that they became implicated, there was no guarantee that they would leave this place alive.
"You have to believe me. I'm from the Heavenly Demon Palace, and she's from the Sacred Moon Palace. We have never gotten along, and I don't know why she wants to kill you, so I can't interfere in this matter. If you still don't believe me, you can ask Zixia Fairy, who is standing next to you," the woman in black said, looking at Zixia Fairy.
Zixia Fairy nodded slightly. Even though she didn't know why Qiu Zili, the Holy Virgin of the Heavenly Demon Palace, had appeared with Nishang Fairy, Qiu Zili could be believed. After all, all the cultivators of the Celestial Cloud Continent knew that the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Sacred Moon Palace were enemies.
"Oh, so you're enemies with her?" Xu Que saw Zixia Fairy nodding and immediately looked at Qiu Zili with a smile. "The saying goes that the enemy of my enemy is a friend. So shouldn't you be on our side?"
"I just came for the entertainment, I didn't plan to…" Qiu Zili shook her head.
Xu Que interrupted her in midsentence. "If you don't attack her, I won't believe you, and…I won't mind killing another fairy, even if we have no grievances with each other, hee, hee!"
"You…" Qiu Zili's eyes got very wide.
"This was clearly a threat. You're laughing at me? D*mn you!" The woman in black thought to herself.
At the same time, Nishang Fairy suddenly took a step back from Qiu Zili and widened the distance between them. She was serious and alert, with a little hesitation in her eyes.
Obviously, she believed that Qiu Zili would make a decision, and she had to step away, otherwise, if Qiu Zili suddenly attacked, she would definitely suffer grave consequences.
And, at this moment, her killing intent had begun to waver.
Although she'd wanted to kill Xu Que no matter what, if this would involve her losing her own life, she had to give this matter further thought.
Even though the Ancient Catastrophe hadn't arrived yet, it was almost here.
And once Xu Que dragged her in, together with the woman in black, if they crossed the Heavenly Tribulation together, the Heavenly Tribulation would definitely sense the powers of their Celestial Prime level, and the Ancient Catastrophe that landed would most likely be the real Ancient Catastrophe.
In order to kill Xu Que, she would have to cross an Ancient Catastrophe and she might even face Qiu Zili's betrayal if she joined up with Xu Que and Zixia Fairy to jointly attack her. If that were to happen, her chances of winning were almost zero and her life would be endangered.
The risks were too great!
"Qiu Zili, if you help me, I promise that I won't investigate the matter of your stealing the holy water any further," Nishang Fairy said.
"Oh, I've never been afraid of you investigating!" Qiu Zili smiled and simultaneously looked at Xu Que.
She asked, "You're Xu Que, right? Why don't you tell me why she is so anxious to kill you, and maybe I can really help you."
"Don't you know why?" Xu Que looked at her with surprise.
"Of course I don't know. But I have some guesses. It could be related to her sister, Yurou Fairy? To be honest, I was also surprised by your relationship with her. You actually knew Yurou Fairy and had such an extraordinary relationship," Qiu Zili said.
"Yurou Fairy?"
When Xu Que heard the name, he smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth.
How could he not have realized that this was Xiao Rou's title? He hadn't expected Xiao Rou to have such a high position in the Celestial Cloud Continent, so high that even powerful people of the Celestial Prime level would call her Yurou Fairy. This was evidence of her extraordinary strength and status.
Therefore, it was evident that she was doing well, and he was happy for her.
"Yes, it's related to Yurou Fairy." Xu Que nodded.
"I see, but your qualifications and strengths aren't insignificant. Why does she want to kill you?" Qiu Zili asked directly.
This is what she couldn't figure out. If Xu Que had been just an ordinary person who wasn't worthy of Yurou Fairy, it would be obvious why the Sacred Moon Palace would want to kill Xu Que.
But the problem was that Xu Que had such powerful strength, and the Nishang Fairy was very serious about wanting to kill him, which made Qiu Zili confused.
"Don't you see why? From the beginning, the answer has been written on my face." Xu Que pointed at his face. "Handsome! It's because I'm so handsome that it makes other people jealous."
PFFT!
Qiu Zili had originally looked at Xu Que's face in doubt, but after hearing the second half of his sentence, she couldn't help but laugh.
This guy was really unique.
"Well, since this is the reason, I can help you." Qiu Zili didn't question him any further, but instead agreed to help Xu Que.
She was clever and knew that if Xu Que didn't want to elaborate, then she wouldn't get an answer from him no matter how many times she asked.
And she chose to help Xu Que because she had naturally considered that dealing with Nishang Fairy together with Xu Que and Zixia Fairy was much less dangerous than dealing with the Ancient Catastrophe.
What's more, she also liked Xu Que's strength.
In time, this young man would have a limitless future. Now that she had such an opportunity to make friends with him, how could she miss it!
"Very well, I admire you." Xu Que raised a corner of his mouth and nodded. "Then you attack first, get her!"
"I attack first?" Qiu Zili smiled slightly.
"Yes, you attack first. If necessary, I'll call in the Heavenly Tribulations to help you… Don't look at me with that skeptical look. This is a tactic. This place has been surrounded by the Exploding Heavens Faction long ago. Attack her, and we can guarantee your safety!"
Qiu Zili was expressionless as she shook her head and said, "Now things are getting interesting!"
If they'd been attacking together, she wouldn't naturally have had any objections with that. But now that Xu Que wanted her to attack first, even a fool knew that there was something wrong with that!
"Well, don't you trust me? Ask the people here, who in the Heaven Continent doesn't know that I, Xu Que, am a man of my word. Who doesn't know that the Exploding Heavens Faction always keeps their promises?" Xu Que stared at her.
"I can prove that what Xu Que is saying is true!" Buttface shouted immediately.
"Girl, I can also vouch for him, you can trust him!" Duan Jiude nodded.
However, when Qiu Zili turned her head and looked at Buttface and Duan Jiude, she instantly knew that the suspicion in her heart was correct.
She shook her head and took a step back. Looking at Xu Que, she said, "I feel that you're targeting me. The two of them can't be trusted, so whatever they say, I have to do the opposite!"

Chapter 1465: If You Have Guts, Don't Run
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Sh*t!"
"Sh*t!" Buttface and Duan Jiude shouted at the same time, staring at Qiu Zili.
"What do you mean by that? I was reminding you for your own good, and you slander me? Go and ask, who in the Heaven Continent doesn't know that I'm a righteous person?" Buttface was furious.
"This is too outrageous. People today have sadly degenerated, and the world is not what it used to be. I have lived for so long, and yet I have never seen anyone as rude as you," Duan Jiude said angrily.
All the onlookers chose to remain silent, but their expressionless faces were enough to express their inner thoughts, which was this was bullsh*t.
Qiu Zili had clarity and insight. She had long known that Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude weren't ordinary people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have tied the Drug God onto the city wall and thrown poop at him.
Would anyone who did something so unethical be considered an ordinary person?
She must do the opposite of what such people said, and not trust a word out of their mouths.
"Xu Que, think it through. If you want to cooperate with me, I don't mind helping you, but you have to attack first. If you're not sincere about working together, then I can leave without interfering with the grudges you have," Qiu Zili said with a smile.
"That's a pity, indeed. I wanted to work with you." Xu Que shrugged his shoulders, smiling slightly, and a coldness flashed in his eyes. "But…you can't leave now even if you wanted to. This is an open threat. If you don't attack her, I'll make sure that the two of you go through this Heavenly Tribulation with me."
BOOM!
As soon as he'd finished speaking, Xu Que clenched his fist at the sky, and soon another rumbling noise sounded in the void.
"Stop!" Qiu Zili immediately yelled.
Nishang Fairy's expression had also changed, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Oh, don't be afraid. As a Celestial Prime, how can you be afraid of me, a mere Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven? In fact, I was lying to you. I've already completed the Heavenly Tribulations, how can I summon another one?" Xu Que laughed sarcastically.
This time, he was telling the truth. He was not able to summon the Heavenly Tribulations any more and had been faking it right from the beginning, using the Heavenly Tribulations to frighten the two women.
But now, neither Nishang Fairy nor Qiu Zili believed him. Regardless of whether it was true or false, they didn't trust anything he said.
Previously, they would certainly not have believed that Xu Que could summon a Heavenly Tribulation, but after witnessing Xu Que calling up Heavenly Thunders from the sky, they were very skeptical.
If he was able to dissipate the Heavenly Tribulations, why wouldn't he be able to summon the Heavenly Tribulations?
Qiu Zili frowned and pursed her rosy lips and transmitted a message to Nishang Fairy. "Ling Nishang, even though I don't know what the grudge you have with him is, please don't implicate me. If we leave now, it won't be too late!"
"You've seen the extent of his powers. If we don't destroy him now, he will become a serious problem in the future." Nishang Fairy responded, her face ashen.
Without Qiu Zili's help, she wouldn't be able to fight both Zixia Fairy and Xu Que at the same time, especially with Xu Que's Heavenly Tribulations.
"That's your palace's problem. What does it have to do with me? In short, I can't help you. Besides, this person has an extraordinary relationship with your sister. If your sister finds out that you killed him…" Qiu Zili said suddenly.
Nishang Fairy couldn't help but frown.
If Qiu Zili didn't help her, if she continued on her own, she would only end up dying.
Not to mention, she was also a little worried about what Qiu Zili had said. Xiao Rou had only temporarily lost her memory, and if she became the Emperor in the future, then this wouldn't put Nishang Fairy in a good light.
Although doing this was, on the surface, for her own benefit, in reality, it was also for the future of the Imperial Palace. If Xiao Rou really got back her memory in the future, she might also harbor a grudge. If she risked her life today to get rid of Xu Que, only to become Xiao Rou's enemy, would it be worth it?
Nishang Fairy's heart began to waver.
If Xu Que could be easily killed, she would definitely not have had so many doubts and wouldn't have considered whether Xiao Rou would get even with her in the future.
But now, in this case, she hesitated.
In fact, she was loyal to the Sacred Moon Palace and the Imperial Palace, and everything she did was for the Imperial Palace. But the doubts she had at the moment were her only reasons to retreat.
She had found enough reasons to retreat.
"Okay, let's retreat together." In the end, Nishang Fairy nodded and transmitted the message to Qiu Zili.
Qiu Zili breathed a sigh of relief. If Nishang Fairy had been stubborn, she would've definitely chosen to help Xu Que.
In her eyes, with the Heavenly Tribulation, together with Zixia Fairy, the odds of Xu Que winning would be too great, and she had no reason to risk her life to help Nishang Fairy.
Of course, killing Nishang Fairy wouldn't be a good thing for her. After all, everyone in the Sacred Moon Palace knew that Nishang Fairy had been chasing her. If she died like this, the Sacred Moon Palace would surely trace the matter back to her. This would alert the Sacred Moon Palace and bring trouble for the Heavenly Demon Palace.
So now that Nishang Fairy had promised to retreat, it was the best-case scenario for Qiu Zili.
Leaving together to avoid casualties, what could be better than that!
"How's the discussion going? Are you ready to attack?" At this moment, Xu Que looked at Qiu Zili with a smile and asked a question.
"Xu Que, we've finished this discussion. We'll all pretend that nothing ever happened today. Whatever grievances you have with her, you can settle them in the future. But now, we don't want to have a big fight. Good-bye!" As Qiu Zili finished speaking solemnly, her eyes met the gaze of Nishang Fairy.
WHOOSH!
The two of them instantly left at the same time to a place outside Tian Sha City.
"Oh, you've offended the Exploding Heavens Faction and still want to run away? Buttface, Duan Jiude, go and deal with the two of them!" Xu Que immediately sneered and called his assistants to chase down and kill them.
Nishang Fairy and Qiu Zili heard his shouts, and their faces darkened.
"This was too aggravating."
These two powerful people of the Celestial Prime level, widely recognized in the Celestial Cloud Continent, were actually being hunted down by a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven?
Wouldn't that be too embarrassing if the word of this got out?
Even though it was annoying, since the two had chosen to retreat, they had no plans to continue fighting with Xu Que.
"So be it, let's use a spell to use a secret method to wake up a Divine Talisman to return to the Celestial Cloud Continent. We'll settle this with him in the future," Qiu Zili said to Nishang Fairy, as she saw that Xu Que was really chasing them.
"What'd you say? Do you realize that awakening the Divine Talisman will cost us at least 30 percent of our life spans?" Nishang Fairy's expression changed, as she looked at Qiu Zili with surprise.
Qiu Zili smiled bitterly. "Oh, what do you think? Is it more costly to stay here and fight with him or to lose 30 percent of our life spans? Also, your Divine Talisman is very valuable, but if we don't use it now, I am afraid it will be useless in the future."
After hearing this, Nishang Fairy clenched her teeth fiercely and changed her state of mind. She took out a black talisman from her storage ring and placed it in front of her.
POOF!
The next moment, the two of them clawed at their chests at the same time and spit out a strand of blood essence, which turned into blood mist. They sprinkled this onto the black talisman.
The entire black talisman instantly turned into flames, burning the void and carving out a door.
"Xu Que, remember this, if you ever dare to step into the Celestial Cloud Continent in the future, I will settle all my grievances with you," Nishang Fairy said, stepping into the door and staring at Xu Que coldly.
"Bullsh*t! If you had any guts, you wouldn't run. You'd fight with me!" Xu Que chased after them, shouting loudly.
The figure of Nishang Fairy fluttered and entered into the void.
Qiu Zili followed closely behind. Glancing at Xu Que before leaving, she said suddenly with a charming smile, "Good luck. I hope that one day, I'll see you in the Celestial Cloud Continent!"
"If you have any guts, don't run!" Xu Que shouted.
WHOOSH!
Qiu Zili didn't pause and rushed into the void!
Subsequently, the door to the void closed instantly and turned into a speck the size of a grain of rice, and, with a flash, the sky instantly returned to its original appearance.
"Sh*t, they got away." Xu Que stopped. He beat his chest, face full of anger.
In fact, he'd had no intention of catching up with them and had deliberately slowed down in order to let the two women escape successfully.
After all, he really couldn't summon the Heavenly Tribulations. In addition, the System was still being upgraded. Without empty threats, he'd had no other hope to beat these two people of the Celestial Prime level.
"D*mn, we were too slow." Buttface was just showing up.
HMPH! "Luckily they ran away quickly, otherwise, I would've definitely killed someone at the Celestial Prime level today," Duan Jiude said in a domineering manner.
"What a pity. If I'd known earlier, I would have used the Commander's seal and summoned the millions of people from the Exploding Heavens Faction to surround them and kill them!" Buttface shook his head, his face full of regret.
"….."
The onlookers were silent. No one could believe what they had just witnessed.
Originally, they'd thought that there would be a big fight, and they'd be able to witness people of the Celestial Prime level fighting, which they'd never been seen before.
Now, two powerful people of the Celestial Prime level who came from outside the Heaven Continent had fled without a fight.
The important thing was that when Buttface and Duan Jiude had been shouting ruthlessly, they seemed to have revealed a piece of unbelievable news.
"There were millions of members of the Exploding Heavens Faction?"
"Were they all devils?"
Chapter 1466: Sage Sect Is About to Rise!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Night fell.
Nishang Fairy and Qiu Zili had escaped, and the day's world-shaking performance had come to an end.
Under the fearful and awestruck gazes of the onlookers, Xu Que and his party left, accompanied by Ji Wuyun, and returned to the backyard of the Ji Family.
The gates of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect were teeming with people. Everyone from the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, including the Sect Leader and their Celestial Kings, had come to meet Xu Que and his team.
This was an unprecedented spectacle in the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, people arriving just to welcome someone.
Everyone already knew about everything that had happened outside the city. The statement that Xu Que and the Exploding Heavens Faction had made during this day's events was enough to shock any group on the Heaven Continent. No one would be willing to fight against the terrifying force of the Exploding Heavens Faction.
Ji Qinghan was very confused and followed along behind them, with her head bowed as she remained silent.
She felt regretful as well as helpless. She hadn't expected a guy who looked like he was at the Human Celestial Stage to suddenly become so demonic in the blink of an eye. He'd killed ten Celestial Kings and then destroyed a humanoid lightning. Immediately following that, he'd forced Heaven to recall a test, before finally hunting down two powerful Celestial Primes and making them turn tails and run away in fear.
In the entire Heaven Continent, no one else could've done even one of these things. And now, Xu Que had done all of these things!
Looking at Xu Que basking in the limelight, Ji Qinghan shook her head bitterly.
Those who had been revered in the past, such as the Master of the Ji Family, the Masters of the other families in the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, their Sect Leader, even the Celestial Kings, had now become as insignificant as the stars beside the bright moon.
The starlight they emitted, just like the stars sprinkled all around the moon, served only as a foil to Xu Que's strength.
"Sister, don't be like this. In fact, I didn't even think that Brother Xu could've had such a background and be even more capable than his father." Ji Wuyun noticed Ji Qinghan's expression and comforted her, his face full of emotion.
Ji Qinghan shook her head slightly and smiled bitterly. "Even if you'd known about it in advance and mentioned it, I wouldn't have believed it."
Ji Wuyun knew exactlly what she was talking about. "I agree. If I'd heard this, I also wouldn't have believed it."
…..
On the same day, accompanied by various distinguished dignitaries of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, Xu Que and his party took a walk around the premises.
Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and Buttface assumed the same pose, with their hands on their hips, chests out, walking in the center of the crowd. They maintained their positions in the middle as if they were inspecting all the crowds as they walked around the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect.
When Xu Que reached the backyard of the Ji Family, he performed an act of goodwill on Ji Wuyun's behalf.
He deliberately mentioned Ji Wuyun's brother's Ji Wufeng's injury, and a Celestial King immediately promised to go find an the Immortal Elixir and personally heal Ji Wufeng. With a Celestial King willing to help, Ji Wufeng's injury would no longer be a problem.
The Ji Family was so grateful for this. However, in reality, they also harbored a lot of sadness. They were members of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, and yet it was only on account of Xu Que, an outsider, that these Celestial Kings were willing to help them.
Xu Que realized this, but he didn't say anything. These Celestial Kings knew that they'd been wrong, and Xu Que really didn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of the sect.
After dealing with this Ji Family matter, Xu Que bade farewell to the people of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect and prepared to leave.
On one hand, he was in a hurry to rush back to the Ziwei Celestial Realm, find the Heaven Palace Academy to settle his scores, and rescue Jiang Hongyan.
On the other hand, he didn't want to stay in Tian Sha City any longer.
He was very certain that at the very moment, the Heaven Palace Academy and the Sage Sect, as well as some other powerful Celestial Kings, were on their way here.
These people definitely wouldn't have known yet about what'd happened in Tian Sha City. Once they arrived, they would have an advantage in numbers, and they might not believe everything that'd happened in Tian Sha City. At that time, there would inevitably be a battle.
Xu Que was only a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. Even with his strength, he couldn't summon the Heavenly Tribulations. If he were faced with so many Celestial Kings, he'd have no choice but to escape.
Therefore, it was better to leave first. And, if they moved quickly enough, they could also take advantage of the absence of powerful figures from the Heaven Palace Academy and the Sage Sect when they were trying to rescue Jiang Hongyan.
So, that night, Xu Que and his party enthusiastically bid farewell to the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect. They teleported to the Ziwei Celestial Realm.
On that same day, the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect realized that countless precious medicinal herbs and weapons were missing from their treasure troves. After the various major families counted up their damages, the losses were huge.
This was the only time this had ever happened in the history of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect.
"D*mn, this was definitely done by Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude," a Celestial King exclaimed. "The Exploding Heavens Faction sucks!" He beat his chest and roared.
However, apart from the shouts, no one talked about the need to take revenge on the Exploding Heavens Faction, and this matter eventually quieted down.
…..
A few days later, in the Ziwei Celestial Realm, in the hall of the Sage Sect, several Elders sat, smiling and having a good time.
The former Elder Ming Qianchuan had now become the new Sect Leader of the Sage Sect.
A few months ago, Xu Que had created an uproar in the Sage Sect and killed half of their ancestors. When Sect Leader Xiao Tienhen had opened the ancestral gate, he'd angered other ancestors and been killed on the spot. Ming Qianchuan had been appointed as the new Sect Leader by these same ancestors.
Although this had been a hasty choice, Ming Qianchuan already had an extraordinary status in the Sage Sect. On one hand, this was because of the reputation of the Ming Family, and, on the other hand, it was because he had a son with a Divine Being.
So his journey to becoming the Sect Leader was very smooth, and he'd even been blessed by a train of joyful occasions.
"Congratulations to the Sect Leader Ming, a double blessing has descended upon your house!"
"I have heard that Jiang Hongyan from the Heaven Palace Academy will be released today. Young Master Ming has already brought dowry gifts, and the Heaven Palace Academy is very supportive of this matter. The marriage is now going to be finalized, and it will be a happy event!"
"Ha, ha, ha, and there's another joyful occasion. I've heard that Xu Que and his group appeared in Tian Sha City a few days ago. The Heaven Palace Academy and our ancestors have already set off for there. I've also heard that the ancestors from the Divine Farmer Clan and Celestial Kings of other forces have also arrived there. Before long, we should receive the news that Xu Que and the others have been killed."
"At that time, when Xu Que's and his group's heads roll, this marriage will be even more lively and joyous."
"Oh, and if we can lure out Xu Que's father, then there will be three blessings."
Many elders of the Sage Sect delivered these various pieces of happy news to Ming Qianchuan.
Ming Qianchuan had a big smile on his face, and he couldn't conceal his happiness. The past few months had been the happiest days in his life.
He glanced at the many elders below, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he nodded. "Xu Que and the others are doomed, but that alone is not enough for me to be pleased, for they are too trivial a matter.
"Now for me and the Sage Sect, the only joyful occasion is the marriage of my son, the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, with the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet of the Heaven Palace Academy. This is important for our future. Let's not wait any longer. After my son has given the dowry gifts, it's time to prepare for the grand marriage ceremony."
"Sect Leader Ming is right."
"Sect Leader Ming has great wisdom."
Everyone at the scene saluted him with smiles on their faces and responded in unison.
There was only one thought in everyone's heart—the Sage Sect was about to rise!
…..
Chapter 1467: The Marriage
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the Heaven Palace Academy in the Ziwei Celestial Realm, preparations were underway.
A large number of small mountain peaks surrounded the entire Heaven Palace Academy. Each mountain peak contained an abode of an elite disciple of the Heaven Palace Academy.
The abode where Jiang Hongyan was located was in the area with the strongest amount of Qi. With her qualifications, she was able to stay in the best locations.
At this moment, there was a large crowd standing outside her abode.
Standing at the forefront of the crowd was a handsome man dressed in white. He was the son of Ming Qianchuan and the possessor of the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, Ming Yixuan.
He held his hands behind his back, and with bright eyes and white teeth, he had an arrogant air, as if he was the pride of the heavens. He possessed a natural sense of superiority that was really quite extraordinary.
At Ming Yixuan's side, there were more than a dozen powerful people of the Taiyi Celestial Stage from the Sage Sect, all of whom were his guardians. These people seemed so insignificant, as if their only function was to show off how excellent and extraordinary his Divine Being of Taoist Fetus was.
At this moment, the Dean, Deputy Deans, and the others from the Heaven Palace Academy were also standing by Ming Yixuan's side.
Behind them, there were a large group of disciples from the Heaven Palace Academy. They'd come from the major clans across the Heaven Continent and were all gathered here today to witness the betrothal.
The Divine Being of Taoist Fetus had personally brought along several precious dowry gifts. This news had shocked the entire Heaven Palace Academy, and everyone who'd heard it had rushed over.
After all, for several years now, the marriage of the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus and the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet had been a major topic of conversation for countless people in the Heaven Continent.
Once the marriage had taken place, and if a child was conceived, it would be the most powerful being ever in the history of the Heaven Continent, possessing the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet and Taoist Fetus.
This was likely to bring about new realm breakthroughs in the Heaven Continent, to change the rules of heaven, and to help the Heaven Continent enter a higher era.
"Looking at the fluctuation of Qi outside the abode, it is obvious that the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet is about to come out." A disciple observing the Qi above the abode said.
"Such movement indeed can only belong to the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet. When she comes out, she'll be at the Heaven Celestial Stage, right?" Someone asked.
"Heaven Celestial Stage? What a joke. She's been in retreat for so many years, at least thousands. I'm guessing that she'll be at least a Taiyi Celestial."
"A Taiyi Celestial? Isn't that higher than the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus?"
"That's very normal. Apart from cultivating his stages, the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus also cultivates his body. I've heard that he's already cultivated a second-rate body, which is number one in the Heaven Continent."
HISS!
"So what you're saying is that even after the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet enters the Taiyi Celestial Stage, she will not necessarily be a match for the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus?"
"You could say that. Even if the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus is only at the Golden Celestial Stage, with his body, he can fight a Taiyi Celestial!"
A discussion broke out as everyone started to compare the strength of these two. But no matter how much they discussed, in their opinions, even if one was a cultivation stage lower than the other, two people with such extraordinary constitutions were definitely made for each other.
After all, across the entire Heaven Continent, there wasn't anyone more talented than the two of them.
In the eyes of many cultivators in the Heaven Continent, Ming Yixuan, with his Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, and Jiang Hongyan, with her Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet, could be called the golden couple of the Heaven Continent.
So, many people were happy to witness this scene and hoping to observe the birth of an heir.
"Friend Ming, what plans do you have for the wedding ceremony after this engagement?" The Dean of Heaven Palace Academy looked at Ming Yixuan and asked with a smile.
Since the ancestors of the major forces had withdrawn from worldly affairs, he who had been guarding the ancestral tomb of the Heaven Palace Academy had naturally appeared. The situation between the major forces in the Heaven Continent had become tense, so he'd quietly suggested this marriage. The descendants would naturally have to obey his orders.
"I have discussed this matter with my father. Both Hongyan and I are students of the Heaven Palace Academy. So, in the name of the Sage Sect and the Heaven Palace Academy…" Ming Yixuan paused, full of confidence, and said, "We will invite the 14 Celestial Realms for a feast."
BOOM!
As soon as he'd said this, there was an instant uproar in the audience.
"Inviting the 14 Celestial Realms for a feast?"
"Wasn't that too extreme?"
There were more than 14 forces in the 14 Immortal Realms. If all the small and medium powers were invited as well, the number of forces could exceed 100.
Moreover, no one in the 14 Celestial Realms would reject an invitation from the Heaven Palace Academy and the Sage Sect. Thus, if all the influential figures in the 14 Celestial Realms attended the feast, this would definitely become the major event in the Heaven Continent and would go down in the annals of history.
After all, since ancient times, there had never been a feast with all the 14 Celestial Realms of the Heaven Continent.
"Ha, ha, ha, it seems clear that the Sage Sect and the Heaven Palace Academy have the same idea." The Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy wasn't surprised. He smiled brightly and nodded.
This arrangement seemed to have been made in advance by several Elders on both sides, and the younger generations would just have to follow along.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
At this moment, loud sounds could be heard coming from the clouds in the sky.
The majestic aura of Qi that surrounded the abode seemed to turn into a vortex, gradually shrinking. A ray of bright, multicolored celestial Qi appeared, condensing into a ray of frost and covering the abode.
In the sky above, a cold wind had begun to roar, and snow had started to fall.
BOOM!
Suddenly, there was an explosive sound, and Jiang Hongyan's abode shook violently, as if someone had hit it with their palm. From the top to the bottom, a crack suddenly appeared, and soon the whole abode began to split apart.
The colorful aura covering the area outside the abode began to flourish. The snow falling from the air became full of color, shining brilliantly, as an ethereal figure slowly stepped out of the abode.
She had a fair and delicate face. Her cheeks were smooth and her nose was thin. With a voluminous figure and elegant temperament, she embodied grace and luxury.
Her gaze was pervaded by an innate sense of royalty. It was as if she was arrogantly looking down at the world, which made everyone feel unsettled and unworthy.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the woman who had just left her retreat.
It was Jiang Hongyan, the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet.
What a miracle to have such a perfect woman exist in the world.
Although Ming Yixuan had met several times with Jiang Hongyan after she had entered the Heaven Palace Academy, now, after her retreat, Jiang Hongyan had evidently become even more extraordinary.
Even the Dean and Deputy Deans of the Heaven Palace Academy, who were already close to the age of the absence of desire, were shocked by Jiang Hongyan, and they became absent-minded.
"Ha, ha, ha!" Very quickly, Dean Li of the Heaven Palace Academy came to his senses and gave a hearty laugh. He looked at Jiang Hongyan and said, "I am very proud that the Heaven Palace Academy has such students as Hongyan."
"I don't deserve the dean's praise," Jiang Hongyan smiled slightly and responded softly.
But she still maintained her distance. Even with her smile, people felt as if she were thousands of miles away from them.
"Ha, ha, ha, don't mention it. Normally, when you've just come out of retreat you should've been allowed to rest alone for a few days. However, today is the day where you can celebrate the end of your retreat, as well as the marriage that has been decided on by the Academy and the Sage Sect." Dean Li laughed. He had no intention of consulting Jiang Hongyan's wishes.
Ming Yixuan stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting. "Hongyan, even though the marriage is hasty, Heaven and Earth can serve as witnesses for my kindly feelings. From today onward, we will become cultivation companions and forever have each other for company."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hands, and countless storage rings flew out from his sleeves and connected in the air, forming a square. A small space appeared in the square, filled with countless heavenly treasures.

Chapter 1468: Who's Talking about Me?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
HISS!
"These are all…engagement gifts?"
"The Sage Sect really has lived up to its reputation. Such a big dowry is really amazing."
"Among these, there is one Middle-Grade Celestial Artifact and more than ten Low-Grade Celestial Artifacts."
"Look, these Low-Grade Celestial Artifacts are all Heaven Fire Maple Leaves. They actually consider such precious medicinal herbs as Low-Grade Celestial Artifacts and are just using them as decorative embellishments."
"That's too luxurious!"
"What is this, have you seen what's in here beside the Celestial Artifacts?"
"It's Jiuxuan Ice Wood, Leaving Fire Gold, Taixuan Real Steel…they are all top-quality refined materials."
"There are also various kinds of Holy Herbs and elixirs… Hey, wait, is that gray-colored Holy Herb…a Starry Sky Flaming Blossom?"
"What? Is it really a Starry Sky Flaming Blossom?"
"Oh my God, that's grown from the advanced Star Miscanthus, and it needs 100,000 years before it can be gathered."
"In the entire Heaven Continent, there are no more than 100 of such Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms, and the Sage Sect actually gave one stalk as a gift."
"Sure enough, only the Sage Sect would be so generous."
Outside the abode, many disciples were standing around, exclaiming.
Most of these people had come from various large and small forces from horizons far and wide, but even they were shocked by these engagement gifts. It was evident that the gifts that'd been given by the Sage Sect were indeed very precious.
Jiang Hongyan looked completely indifferent, staring blankly into space as she ignored the engagement gifts.
But when she heard the voices of the crowd, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly to look at the pile of engagement gifts, and her eyes fell on a Holy Herb. It was the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom: gathered from the advanced Star Miscanthus that had been growing for 100,000 years.
The corner of Jiang Hongyan's mouth raised slightly. What she cared about was not how precious the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom was, but that the stalk of this Holy Herb from the advanced Star Miscanthus had reminded her of Xu Que.
She remembered that year, in the Ancient Tianxiang Trial Examination, when he'd been the guy who'd burned hundreds of stalks of Star Miscanthus.
"Hongyan, are you satisfied with this dowry? It's just a small token of my regard. I'll definitely be able to give you more precious things in the future." Ming Yixuan saw Jiang Hongyan's gaze and expression and was immediately overjoyed, thinking that these engagement gifts had satisfied Jiang Hongyan.
In fact, before he had even taken out the engagement gifts, he'd already been very confident about this. After all, these gifts were so precious, who wouldn't be touched by them.
However, moments after looking at the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom, Jiang Hongyan looked away and didn't even glance at the other things in the dowry.
Ming Yixuan's words were also ignored by her.
From coming out of her abode until now, other than responding to Dean Li, she'd had not even said half a word or sentence to Ming Yixuan.
"Hongyan, this is a token from Young Master Ming and the Sage Sect. Can you accept it?" At this moment, Dean Li seemed to sense that the atmosphere wasn't right, and he coughed to remind her.
"No need." Jiang Hongyan shook her head slightly, her tone indifferent.
She looked up at the sky, as if thinking about something, and continued. "I should leave."
"She should leave?"
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
Ming Yixuan's face darkened, and an ugly expression appeared on his face.
Dean Li, who'd already expected that this would happen, looked at both of them.
Then Dean Li opened his mouth again and, smiling bitterly, said, "Hongyan, this marriage has been arranged by my ancestors at the Heaven Palace Academy and the Sage Sect. There are many things that you don't know about yet, but you still have to accept the engagement gifts first. Regarding the other matters, we will let you know later bit by bit."
"I already told you that my cultivation companion is Xu Que." Jiang Hongyan frowned slightly.
"Of course we know this, but, unfortunately, your cultivation companion is probably dead. So now you are free. It's rare that the Sage Sect is so gracious and doesn't care about your past. You should be grateful," Dean Li said.
Jiang Hongyan heard his words, and her expression suddenly changed. "What did you say?"
Dean Li shook his head. "In the past few years, you've been in retreat, but a lot of things have happened in the outside world. Your cultivation companion, Xu Que, has already appeared in the Heaven Continent."
"He is here?" Jiang Hongyan was stunned.
Originally, after her retreat, she had planned to leave and attempt to return to the Four Great Continents and rescue Xu Que from the Celestial Burial Valley. She hadn't expected that Xu Que had already come.
And from Dean Li's tone, it's wasn't hard to tell that he'd already caused a lot of trouble.
"Hongyan, you may not know, but Xu Que and his father are both morally corrupt people. They have been swindling and cheating all over the place, especially Xu Que's father, who once lied to the head of our Heaven Palace Academy, killed more than half of the Sage Sect's disciples, and even started a deadly feud with the Divine Farmer Clan. Now Xu Que's father has disappeared without a word, but Xu Que has appeared in Tian Sha City. As far as I know, there are several Celestial Kings from the Divine Farmer Clan, as well as other powerful Celestial Kings, who all arrived in Tian Sha City a few days ago to take care of this problem, " said Dean Li.
Jiang Hongyan frowned.
"Ancestors at the Celestial King level?"
"When had Celestial Kings appeared in the Heaven Continent, let alone so many Celestial Kings, who all wanted to deal with Xu Que?"
Thinking of all this, she had some difficulty keeping calm.
"I'm going to Tian Sha City," Jiang Hongyan said immediately, as she immediately stepped down and boarded a teleportation device.
However, several figures suddenly appeared, blocking her path. It was Dean Li and his party.
"No need. Even if you rush there now, it will be too late. In fact, our ancestors and several ancestors of the Sage Sect already set off a few days ago. If they reach there in time, they will definitely save Xu Que on your behalf."
Dean Li paused and continued, "Of course, this also depends on your decision. After all, Xu Que's father has already caused huge trouble. If you get married to Young Master Ming, your identity will naturally be different, and several ancestors will help Xu Que on your behalf. But if you don't agree to the engagement, once the word of this gets out, they will just stand by idly and not interfere."
As she heard these words, Jiang Honyan's gaze turned icy.
It was clear to everyone that Dean Li was obviously trying to coerce Jiang Hongyan.
Originally, the audience listening had wondered why was there a need for so many powerful ancestors to go to Tian Sha City just to kill Xu Que.
Now, they'd understood that the ancestors of the Heaven Palace Academy and the Sage Sect had wanted to snatch Xu Que and capture him alive.
There was only one purpose. By controlling Xu Que's life and death, they could coerce Jiang Hongyan to marry Ming Yixuan. If she didn't agree, Xu Que would die.
"Hongyan, rest assured. As long as you and I are married, I believe that the ancestors have the ability to keep Xu Que safe." At this time, Ming Yixuan also spoke, pretending to be sincere.
In fact, this was the agreement that the Sage Sect had with the ancestors of the Heaven Palace Academy to get Jiang Hongyan to cooperate. If Jiang Hongyan refused to agree in the end, other than killing Xu Que, they would also use tough means to control Jiang Hongyan.
In any case, it was impossible for Jiang Hongyan to escape the outcome of this marriage. Of course, in order to ensure the smooth birth of the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet & Taoist Fetus, they still hoped that Jiang Hongyan would cooperate, otherwise, they wouldn't have done all these things trying to coerce her.
WHOOSH!
At this time, a majestic murderous spirit started to rise from Jiang Hongyan.
The cold, indifferent expression that flashed in her eyes was enough to confirm her answer.
She would not agree.
She also believed that Xu Que wouldn't allow her to agree.
"Hongyan, listen to us, this engagement will be the best outcome for you, and Xu Que will be safe and sound. At least it will ensure that he can continue to live." Dean Li repeated. He knew that even if Jiang Hongyan didn't agree, it would be difficult for her to escape her fate.
"Yo! Who is talking about me? Do you think I need someone else to make sure whether or not I continue to live?"
Just then, a frivolous soft voice came from behind everyone.
Everyone in the audience turned and looked around.
There was a young man in a black robe with a roguish smile on his face, a cigarette in his mouth, a big dog at one side, and an old man on his other side, who was walking over!
…..
Chapter 1469: It's Xu Que!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The sudden emergence of the two men and the dog stunned everyone at the scene.
The next moment, everyone's expressions changed.
"This…"
"How is this possible?"
"How could Buttface and Duan Jiude appear here?"
"Didn't the news that's been circulating say that the two of them were together with Xu Que, trapped in Tian Sha City?"
"Wait a moment, isn't this young man Xu Que?"
Someone shouted suddenly, and everyone immediately fell silent.
Then someone else, after thinking about things for a minute, said, "Although we've only seen Xu Que's father, this guy looks very similar, especially in his eyes and his roguish personality."
"And he just asked if we were discussing him behind his back. Could this really be Xu Que?"
"And they didn't die, but actually came here."
"I guess the ancestral Celestial Kings that rushed over couldn't stop them."
All of a sudden, discussion broke out among all the disbelieving disciples.
Even the deans and the deputy deans of the Heaven Palace Academy, as well as the guardians of the Sage Sect and Ming Yixuan, were stunned at this moment.
Everyone had thought that Xu Que would never escape alive. Even if he had escaped alive, the ancestors from the Heaven Palace Academy and the Celestial Kings from the Sage Sect should have captured him.
But now, the situation at hand was completely beyond their expectations.
Xu Que hadn't died, and he certainly didn't seem to have been captured by anyone. Instead, he'd appeared honorably and confidently in the Heaven Palace Academy.
There were only two possibilities. One was that they'd escaped from the Divine Farmer Clan and the other Celestial Kings. The other was that they hadn't been intercepted by the Celestial Kings at all and that they'd shown up at the Heaven Palace Academy by chance.
Judging these two possibilities, everyone was inclined to believe in the latter.
After all, the possibility of the former was too low. How could such a young man escape from the power of so many Celestial Kings?
"That's not right, this guy's realm is…the Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven?" At this time, Dean Li looked horrified and exclaimed.
"The Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, that was the same realm as his."
"But this ridiculous young man in front of him was not even 200 years old in bone age."
HISS!
Hearing Dean Li's exclamation, everyone at the scene began to investigate Xu Que's realm. After this, they all took in a sharp breath of cold air and trembled.
Even the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, Ming Yixuan, found it difficult to remain calm at this moment.
The Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, this was countless times stronger than his Golden Celestial Stage. Even if he cultivated a second-rate Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, it was impossible to make up for such a difference in realm. After all, there was a whole Taiyi Celestial Stage between them.
"Little fellow…"
At this moment, a melodious and gentle voice drifted over.
Everyone turned to look at Jiang Hongyan and became dumbfounded.
Where was the cold Jiang Hongyan of just a moment ago?
Now she seemed like an iceberg melting into gentle water. Together with the smile on her face, it was enough to collapse the whole world.
The Jiang Hongyan of before and the Jiang Hongyan of now were like two completely different people.
Everyone was astonished.
Ming Yixuan's face got so dark it was scary, as jealousy burned in his eyes. Jiang Hongyan had ignored him all this time.
Jiang Hongyan's personality had always seemed cold and indifferent and gave everyone a feeling that she was far away from them.
But now it was obvious that he could never get Jiang Hongyan's attention like this.
At this time, Jiang Hongyan was like a changed person with such a gentle smile. This was a side to her that no one had ever seen before.
This side obviously only belonged to Xu Que.
"Little girl, I'm here to pick you up."
Xu Que had already stepped in front of the crowd, ignoring all of them. His eyes only focused on Jiang Hongyan as he said this with a smile.
Little girl, little fellow?
These mutual endearments made everyone in the room momentarily blush, feeling full of jealousy. This simple public display of affection was enough to make them feel uncomfortable.
"Oh, how come all these things are here? There are so many treasures. Were they what I left at the Heaven Palace Academy last time I was here and forgot to take with me?" At this moment, Buttface stepped forward and stared at the gifts, eyes shining.
"F*rt, this is what I originally put here." Duan Jiude also rushed to catch up, fearing that if he didn't speak up, he wouldn't get a share.
Everyone at the Heaven Palace Academy grimaced. When Jiang Hongyan had originally brought Duan Jiude and Buttface to the Heaven Palace Academy to stay back in the day, everyone had already gotten to know their infinite shamelessness. At this moment, it wasn't strange to see it again.
"These are all engagement gifts," Jiang Hongyan said calmly, explaining how these things had come to be here. From the beginning to the end, her beautiful eyes kept looking at Xu Que.
"Engagement gifts?" Xu Que smiled slightly.
MHMM! Jiang Hongyan nodded. "The Sage Sect gave me these engagement gifts, and I wouldn't accept them."
"Why not accept them? In reality, it doesn't matter if you accept them or not. You can always get a divorce." Xu Que smiled in a nasty manner.
"That's no good!" Jiang Hongyan shook her head gently and said seriously.
She wasn't worried about the impact of the divorce, but she had her own principles. Accepting the engagement gifts was equivalent to agreeing to marriage. Whether she was accepting truthfully or falsely, she would always have another option, that was, rejection.
"That's right, accepting engagement gifts and then breaking the engagement is not good for our reputation." Xu Que also nodded seriously, then changed the subject. "Why don't we just snatch it away…"
Before he had finished speaking, two figures immediately flew out.
"Oh!"
"Yo!"
Buttface and Duan Jiude were extremely excited as if they had waited for Xu Que to say these words for a long time.
A person and a dog rushed toward the direction of the engagement gifts and shouted, "Don't move! This is a robbery!"
"That's right, the Exploding Heavens Faction is robbing you. Everyone, crouch down."
SWISH!
Suddenly, everyone in the audience glared at them and almost spat out blood.
"Robbery?"
"Were they kidding?"
"Just the three of them, a bunch of troublemakers, dared to rob this place?"
"Just relying on Xu Que, a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. Did they think that there was no one else in the Heaven Palace Academy?"
The faces of many people in the crowd turned ugly.
However, Jiang Hongyan still had a faint smile on her face. It seemed like she didn't think that there was anything absurd about this absurdity!
"Hongyan, take a look. See if there is anything that you like!" At this moment, Xu Que said with a smile to Jiang Hongyan.
Jiang Hongyan shook her head slightly and was about to speak.
Xu Que added, "I will find the same item and give it to you."
Jiang Hongyan paused, then smiled. "If you want to give me something, I will choose the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom."
"The Starry Sky Flaming Blossom?"
When everyone heard this, their mouths opened wide.
The most precious gift in that pile of engagement gifts was the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom.
The key was that Xu Que had also said that he would match the same item and give it to Jiang Hongyan. This implied was that he wouldn't take it from the pile of engagement gifts. Now that Jiang Hongyan had said that she wanted such a rare and precious Starry Sky Flaming Blossom, how would Xu Que find that?
"Ah? Just this?" Xu Que suddenly became disappointed and shook his head. "I thought you would choose something more precious, such as a Celestial Artifact or something."
The crowd was immediately confused.
"How could the Celestial Artifact be more precious than the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom, was he crazy?"
"But since you like it, I'll give you a little bit to play with first!"
At this time, Xu Que spoke again, and at the same time, he waved his hand, taking out a strange light from his hip.
