Chapter 1059: Great Disrespect

This piss-poor attitude of Lin Baiwan and Yao Gongming didn't make Xu Que feel surprised at all!

After all, from the very beginning, these two people didn't have any sincerity to truly cooperate. If they wanted to deal with the Heaven Alliance, it would require a determination to burn their bridges, but even a fool could see that these two people were simply trying to take advantage without exerting effort or taking risks!

In their view, whether Xu Que won or Li Tianxun won, they would have the opportunity to latch onto either side and leave this place, so they chose to be a wallflower, leaning toward whoever had the higher chance of winning!

And now, Li Tianxun clearly had the upper hand and even shattered Xu Que's broken sword with a single strike, his aura extraordinary.

Lin Baiwan and Yao Gongming almost didn't even need to think before choosing to abandon the cooperation with Xu Que, taking the opportunity to leave Xu Que's small boat that was about to sink.

The only thing that made the two of them suspicious was that Xu Que was clearly being suppressed, yet he could still smile, taking Lan Xinyue and Lan Hetu and the others toward the central area without any hesitation. That appearance didn't look like he was going to his death, but more like he was going to get something good!

"I have a bad premonition. Did we choose wrong?" Lin Baiwan's eyelid twitched, and he transmitted his voice to Yao Gongming.

Yao Gongming shook his head slightly: "I also feel that something is not quite right. When that kid left, the playfulness in his eyes seemed to carry a trace of mockery."

Lin Baiwan: "Why do I feel like it was a cool sneer?"

Yao Gongming: "Could it be because he's too handsome, making us have an illusion? No, we still have to do something to be safe!"

"That's right, don't forget that this guy said the Void Boundary Talisman was with Lan Xinyue and the others. Looking at the situation now, Li Tianxun doesn't seem to know about this yet!" Lin Baiwan nodded immediately.

Afterward, the two of them acted immediately, transmitting their voices to Xu Que: "Fellow Daoist Xu, don't misunderstand. We just wanted to first extract Li Tianxun's trust and infiltrate their interior. You just go ahead first, and when the time comes, we will coordinate from inside and outside!"

Xu Que heard this voice transmission from far away and was instantly amused, responding: "Ah? Two Fellow Daoists, wasn't the eye contact you made with me just now exactly this meaning? Don't worry, I understand what you mean, we'll just play it by ear when the time comes!"

Eye contact?

Lin Baiwan and Yao Gongming were stunned for a moment. When did they ever make eye contact with that guy? Could it be...

The two of them looked at each other suspiciously, both of them showing a meaningful smile on their faces, and secretly cursed "old fox" at each other!

At the same time, Xu Que had already stepped into the boundary of the central area!

All along, this area had been listed as a restricted area by cultivators, and it was a restricted area of ten deaths and no life. For many years, no one had dared to step into this place for even half a step.

Lan Xinyue and Lan Hetu and the others had long heard of this place, and at this moment, they felt extremely uneasy, feeling deeply apologetic toward Xu Que.

"Brother Que, this time it's all our fault, dragging you down!" Lan Hetu said with full self-reproach.

If it weren't for saving them, he knew that Xu Que would never have fallen into such a situation!

"Don't be silly. If we really want to calculate it, it was you who were dragged down by me, which made the Heaven Alliance target you! But it doesn't matter, a mere Vitality Ant Queen is nothing, right, Miss Lan?" Xu Que patted Lan Hetu on the shoulder and swept his gaze toward Lan Xinyue.

Lan Xinyue was slightly stunned, then nodded.

She understood the implication of Xu Que's words. Because she had seen Xu Que suppress a Queen Ant before and learned of Xu Que's true identity, at this moment, she guessed that Xu Que's words were meant to hint that his true identity was his trump card, so they didn't need to worry!

However, Xu Que didn't mean that at all. He didn't count on simply relying on that so-called "Chosen One" identity to suppress the Vitality Ant race; ultimately, he still had to rely on the Samsara Palm!

If it were elsewhere, Xu Que would actually feel a bit unconfident, but now, the closer he got to the central area, the more he felt that the power of the Life and Death Rules he could control became stronger, and even after going deeper, he felt that slapping Li Tianxun to death with one palm wasn't a big problem!

So now, Xu Que only thought that the closer he got to the central area, the safer he would be, and his speed began to gradually accelerate!

On the other side, Li Tianxun and the others watched Xu Que and the others' retreating backs, and the smiles on their faces gradually grew stronger.

Lin Huan was even more delighted, hurriedly leaning toward Li Tianxun and flattering him: "Hehe, Alliance Leader is wise. That kid has already crossed the boundary. Soon he will be surrounded and killed by the Vitality Ants in various nests. By then, it will be the time for us to kill our way into the Ant Queen's nest and achieve a great victory!"

"Hmph, dealing with such ants, what's difficult about it!" Li Tianxun sneered, already feeling that victory was in his grasp.

But at this very moment, in the Ant Queen's nest.

A human-shaped Ant race man was sitting on a stone chair. The man looked middle-aged, with a majestic body and a dignified appearance, a pair of eyes carrying cold stars, and two black antennae on his head, possessing a kind of aura that was not angry but prestigious.

Beside the man sat a slender woman, who was currently pouting her small mouth, looking at a small lake on the ground.

The lake was reflecting a scene: Xu Que leading Lan Xinyue and the others rushing toward them.

"Reporting to the King, those few humans have already crossed the first line of defense. Are we really not going to pay attention?" A Vitality Ant hurried over, prostrating on the ground to inquire.

"No need!" The middle-aged man shook his head indifferently, not intending to obstruct!

"Oh my, Father, why aren't you paying attention to him? It was this guy who destroyed my nest, it's infuriating!" The slender woman immediately puffed out her cheeks, angrily saying.

Clearly, this slender woman was one of the Queen Ants Xu Que had wreaked havoc on in the Eastern Suburb, and also one of the many daughters of the Ant King.

The middle-aged man was the Ant King of the Vitality Ant race—Qian Guowan, with unfathomable cultivation, the only king of the entire Ant race, with overwhelming power.

But after learning of Xu Que's identity from his daughter, he was filled with fear.

"Yi'er, if this person is truly as you said, the Chosen One, or even the Dao Companion of that one, then not only can we not move against him, we cannot even have a trace of disrespect. If you offended him before, you must apologize to him once his identity is confirmed!" The Ant King Qian Guowan said in a deep voice, his face incredibly solemn.

Only he knew how terrifying the person who had slapped this place into a Lost Land with one palm years ago was. The Ant race was just an insignificant small race under her command. If they truly angered her, they would definitely be doomed.

Qian Yi'er, upon hearing her father's words, was even more unconvinced. She gritted her teeth, looked at Xu Que in the lake scene, and said angrily: "Father, I was just playing around with this guy, but he took away most of my lifespan, and even told me to go to his room alone at night to talk by candlelight, which was actually just wanting to continue taking my lifespan. Why should I apologize to him? He is just a... emmm... a big bad guy!"

Qian Yi'er struggled for a long time, and finally successfully found the "most vicious" adjective she thought of—big bad guy!

The Ant King was instantly panicked after hearing this, his face full of horror: "What did you say? He... he wanted you to go to his room alone at night? My god, Yi'er, you absolutely cannot go. With your status, you must never get too close to him; that is a great disrespect!"

"What?" Qian Yi'er widened her eyes instantly.

With her status as a dignified Queen Ant, getting close to that guy is instead a great disrespect? Is it that exaggerated?

"Hmph, if he is truly the Dao Companion of that one, how noble is his status? How could we... sigh, forget it, forget it, you are still young, you will understand when you grow up!" Qian Guowan said halfway, then shook his head.

But he didn't know how to explain it to his silly daughter at this moment, so he simply stopped talking, stood up directly, looked at the many elite members of the Ant race, and said in a deep voice: "Pass down the order, no clansman is allowed to come forward to obstruct those few humans. Treat them as distinguished guests for now, let them come in, I want to see them!"

"Yes!" A Vitality Ant immediately responded and hurriedly retreated to carry out the order.
