Chapter 1052: Why Strike So Fast

"Haha, to be able to speak freely with Fellow Daoist Xu, even more Vitality Rice would be worth it!" Lin Baiwan laughed generously and waved his hand, and immediately someone brought over three thousand grains of Vitality Rice.

The so-called "if you don't risk the child, you won't catch the wolf"—Lin Baiwan understood this principle very well.

He believed that as long as he could befriend Xu Que and find out how this guy managed to get tens of thousands of Vitality Rice in such a short time, perhaps they could cooperate. Then, what he would gain in the future would be far more than the few thousand Vitality Rice in front of him; it was very likely he would earn it back a thousand or ten thousand times over.

However, before he could even open his mouth to ask, Xu Que quickly put away the Vitality Rice and said: "President Lin, since you are so sincere, I won't talk nonsense. Actually, I came over tonight mainly because I want to cooperate with you!"

"Co... cooperate? Good! Fellow Daoist Xu is truly a straightforward person. I just like associating with people like Fellow Daoist Xu!" Lin Baiwan was stunned for a moment, then filled with pleasant surprise.

Xu Que being so proactive truly made him very happy. Look at how sensible this young man is! He hadn't even opened his mouth yet, and he had actually taken the initiative to ask for cooperation!

"Oh? President Lin has agreed? That is truly excellent! Actually, I had already listed the cooperation plan on the way here. Originally, I wanted to go and destroy the Heaven Alliance after eating this meal, but it's not very good for me to be the only one in the spotlight, so I must bring you all along! Oh right, why don't we let the Great Qi Alliance join as well? The more people, the greater the power; unity is strength!" Xu Que said with a look of joy.

But Lin Baiwan and the Da Fang Hui crowd had already been scared out of their wits on the spot.

After eating, you want to go and destroy the Heaven Alliance?

Damn it, your sister! Is this what you mean by cooperation?

Are you crazy!

Who wants to go with you to destroy the Heaven Alliance? Are we tired of living?

"Uh, Fellow Daoist Xu, this... these words cannot be spoken recklessly. The Heaven Alliance Leader, Li Tianxun, is not someone we can deal with by joining forces. Why don't... we talk about some other cooperation?" Lin Baiwan said bitterly.

Don't look at how glorious the Da Fang Hui and the Great Qi Alliance look; in reality, he and the Great Qi Alliance Leader were only at the early Earth Immortal stage, at most just a little stronger than the Sword Pavilion, but compared to the Heaven Alliance, there was still a huge gap.

The point was that Li Tianxun, this mid-stage Earth Immortal, was simply not someone they could afford to offend. Although it was only separated by a small realm, when they truly fought, Lin Baiwan believed that even if ten early Earth Immortal stage experts joined forces, they wouldn't be able to beat one mid-stage Earth Immortal!

After all, the gap between these small realms was something that could only be exchanged for thousands of years of cultivation!

"That won't do. I'm definitely going to the Heaven Alliance. Even if I don't destroy them, at the very least, I have to drag that old shady guy Fu Shanchuan out and kill him. He sent people to kill me twice today; I can't let him go!" Xu Que said with a smile.

Lin Baiwan and the others were instantly shocked. Fu Shanchuan actually sent people to kill Xu Que?

Doesn't this mean that the Heaven Alliance and Xu Que are irreconcilable?

"Fellow Daoist Xu, this matter... why don't we discuss it again?" Lin Baiwan said hesitantly. He actually wanted to persuade Xu Que to endure and let the wind and waves calm down. After all, going against the Heaven Alliance was equivalent to seeking death!

"Hmm!" Xu Que nodded slightly solemnly, his face showing a look of contemplation.

Lin Baiwan and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. Only when Xu Que wavered in his thoughts did they dare to truly continue talking to Xu Que about the cooperation regarding Vitality Rice.

However, Xu Que's contemplation seemed to last a bit too long—so long that everyone felt strange.

Even the eldest young lady sitting beside Lin Baiwan frowned slightly. Vaguely, she felt that Xu Que's gaze didn't look like he was thinking about something, but rather like he was looking at her.

"Fellow Daoist Xu..." At this moment, Lin Baiwan finally couldn't help but speak.

Xu Que suddenly reached out and pointed at Miss Lin: "Eh, Fellow Daoist Lin, so you also have such a beautiful daughter?"

The entire audience instantly had black lines on their faces, and even Lin Baiwan almost fell off his chair.

So you spent half a day thinking, and you weren't considering the matter at all, but put all your attention on the eldest young lady?

"Uh, Fellow Daoist Xu, this is indeed my daughter, Lin Wan'er!" Lin Baiwan said awkwardly.

Lin Wan'er was also very open-minded; she immediately raised the teacup on the table and slightly lifted it: "I have met Fellow Daoist Xu!"

Xu Que also smiled and toasted back with his teacup.

However, he wasn't really trying to flirt; he was purely bored and teasing everyone.

He was definitely going to mess with the Heaven Alliance, and Fu Shanchuan absolutely could not be let go, otherwise, how could the name of the "Bluffing Saint" stand in the world?

"President Lin, I want to deal with the Heaven Alliance, it's just to vent my anger! Although Li Tianxun is powerful, to solve Fu Shanchuan, the problem shouldn't be too big, right?" Xu Que said with a smile.

Lin Baiwan immediately smiled bitterly: "Fellow Daoist Xu, solving Fu Shanchuan is naturally no problem, but afterward, how can we resist the anger of Alliance Leader Li?"

Xu Que raised the corners of his mouth, took a sip of tea, and said meaningfully: "If I tell you that I have a way to leave this realm, what then?"

"What?"

Instantly, Lin Baiwan's face changed.

Everyone present also widened their eyes.

Leave this realm?

How is this possible?

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I do have a way to leave, so regardless of whether you participate or not, I'm definitely going to the Heaven Alliance!" Xu Que said very straightforwardly, then stood up directly, patted Lin Baiwan on the shoulder, and said: "Consider it carefully, President Lin!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, summoned the Wind Fire Wheels, and flew away directly.

In the mansion courtyard of the Da Fang Hui, it fell into silence.

No one stopped Xu Que from leaving; all eyes were on Lin Baiwan.

Xu Que's words were simply like a bomb thrown into the sea, detonating the hearts of many people.

Leave!

These two simple words had long since become an extravagant hope for all of them, and they had even long since cut off this thought.

But now, Xu Que actually told them that he had a way to leave this realm, directly provoking the hope that had been buried in everyone's hearts for a long time.

If they could leave this realm, what did the Da Fang Hui or Vitality Rice matter?

As long as they could leave, they would no longer need to struggle for lifespan, no longer need to spend a large amount of cultivation time trying every possible way to dig for Vitality Rice; everything could return to the right track.

"Father, is what he said true?" Lin Wan'er looked at Lin Baiwan. She was born in this Lost Land and had never seen the outside world at all; she had always longed for the outside world.

Lin Baiwan touched Lin Wan'er's head and sighed slightly: "This should have been impossible, but for some reason, I somewhat believe that what he said is true!"

"Then we..." Lin Wan'er's eyes lit up immediately.

Lin Baiwan waved his hand to interrupt: "Don't be in a hurry to make a decision. This matter is of great importance. One wrong step is enough to make us regret it for a thousand years! I'll go to the Great Qi Alliance first. You all tidy up here. Also, before I return, no one is allowed to leave this place, to avoid leaking the news!"

At this time, Xu Que had already returned outside the inn.

Originally, he had planned to join forces with the Da Fang Hui to drag that group of people into the water to help. After all, Li Tianxun's strength truly could not be underestimated.

Previously, Liu Hualong, an early Earth Immortal stage expert, had almost cost him his life. Now, Li Tianxun, a mid-stage Earth Immortal, Xu Que knew he probably couldn't handle it at all!

So he wanted to drag other factions into the water, but after talking with Lin Baiwan, he felt that Lin Baiwan's impression was not bad. If they were willing to participate and help, it wouldn't be impossible to take them along when he left in over a month.

"Creak!"

Xu Que pushed open the inn door, but before he could lift his foot to step in, he suddenly paused!

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his brows furrowed.

At this moment, he discovered that the inn was empty. Not to mention the aura of Lan Hetu and the others, even the innkeeper and the waiter who had been locked in the woodshed had disappeared without a trace!

"Heaven Alliance, hehe, did you strike so fast?" Xu Que sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he stepped into the inn.
