Chapter 1175: Entering
"Inside... sigh, we were a step slow and were scammed by Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude. There were originally seven paths to walk inside, but Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude knew we were tracking behind them, so they deliberately left some clues at the entrance of one of the most dangerous paths, luring us in. As a result, after we followed them, we were all teleported to an altar."
A cultivator said this, his face revealing full bitterness, and he shook his head: "However, on the altar, there really was a Divine Spirit's remnant soul. It was extremely weak, and even had no spiritual consciousness, so the heavenly prides of the major forces all made moves to snatch it. In the end, that remnant soul was torn apart by them and divided, but what followed was that the restriction on the altar was triggered, causing countless deaths and injuries among us!"
"That Divine Spirit remnant soul was originally suppressing the restriction on the altar. As a result, the remnant soul was divided, and the restriction was triggered. A heavenly pride from the Angry Gold Peak of the Tanyue Immortal Realm was killed on the spot by the restrictive power, and the remnant soul fragment he snatched also fell out. The other heavenly prides all wanted to snatch it, so in the sweep of the restrictive power, they broke out into another great battle. Many people were affected, and blood spilled all over the altar!"
"We were lucky to be able to escape back, standing on the edge of the altar, but we were also affected by the restrictive power and their Dharma spells, suffering heavy injuries. However, being able to save our lives, we are already very satisfied!" A cultivator said, his face still full of lingering fear.
Another person also sighed and said, "They have already gone mad with killing. When we returned, the restrictive power on the altar had already vanished, but they seem to have had their minds affected by something. Every single Heavenly Pride is filled with murderous intent, crazily slaughtering each other to snatch those remnant soul fragments."
"What about their guardians? Were they also influenced?" Bai Cailing asked immediately.
She felt that this matter was very abnormal. After all, there were heavenly prides from several forces among those people. The lives of heavenly prides were so precious; it was impossible for them to fight to the death like this for the sake of snatching inheritance fragments. Because this wasn't just their personal business, it would also involve the forces behind them. If one wasn't careful, it would easily trigger conflicts leading to great wars between forces.
So she felt that the cultivators who escaped were right. Those heavenly prides must have been influenced by something, losing their minds, which was why they fought regardless of everything. But why didn't the guardians stop them?
"They were also influenced. As long as they were on the altar, they would slowly fall into that kind of violent state. At first, when we were on the edge of the altar, we already felt irritable and wanted to kill. If it weren't for being blasted out by their Dharma spells, I'm afraid we would have already died in the chaotic battle." A cultivator told the truth.
The Yaochi group fell silent after hearing this.
Bai Cailing also frowned slightly. Even the Golden Core stage peak guardians would have their minds influenced, so this trip really had to be carefully considered whether to enter or not!
"What about Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude and the others?" At this time, Xu Que took the initiative to ask.
He didn't care about those inheritances, and even less about the life and death of those heavenly prides. He only cared about the whereabouts of Liu Jingning and Er Gouzi and the others.
"They..."
A cultivator's face revealed a trace of annoyance and helplessness: "They bypassed the altar from another path to the opposite side. That Er Gouzi even moved out tables and chairs in front of us, sitting there eating a food called 'Spicy Hot Pot', while watching us slaughter each other on the altar!"
"Pfft hahaha!"
Xu Que couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this. He had nothing to disguise now. Hearing that Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude had scammed that group of people like this, and even sat on the opposite side eating hot pot and watching the show, he felt very relieved.
"Damn, what are you laughing at?" Several cultivators' expressions sank immediately, glaring at Xu Que.
The Yaochi group was also stunned, looking at Xu Que, unable to figure out why this old man suddenly laughed so happily.
"Heh, I'm laughing at Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude for being too arrogant and too rampant. Back then, this old man also had a friend who was as excellent as them, but now the grass on his grave is already five feet tall!" At this moment, Xu Que turned his smile into a cold sneer.
The several cultivators heard this, and their expressions eased up.
The many Yaochi disciples were a bit confused, feeling that something was very wrong!
This was impossible. Before, when Yi Zhong was possessed by Xu Que, this Elder Xu still appeared so violent and beat Yi Zhong up. How could such a person have no inner demons? How could he be "untainted by the mud"?
"Eh!"
At this time, Bai Cailing seemed to have discovered something. Her eyes suddenly looked at Xu Que's chest, and she smiled: "Elder Xu, can I borrow the dozens of strings of Buddha beads and these few Buddha plaques on your chest to take a look?"
【The first update!】
Bai Cailing was also somewhat hesitant. If she were to leave just like this, she feared it would affect the reputation of Yaochi, but at least it would ensure the safety of all the disciples. Yet, leaving just like this left her feeling somewhat unwilling.
"Elder Xu, what is your take on this?" Bai Cailing could not help but look at Xu Que and ask.
Vaguely, she felt that this Elder Xu was far more extraordinary than she had imagined. At the very least, up until now, this Elder Xu had appeared extremely calm, without the slightest bit of worry or panic, which really did not match his Half-Immortal cultivation level.
Xu Que glanced at Bai Cailing and smiled faintly, "This old man feels that since we have already come, we should naturally go in and take a look!"
"You mean, we should go in?" Bai Cailing asked in astonishment.
Xu Que nodded, "That's right!"
After speaking, he took the lead and stepped forward, walking directly ahead.
As for the so-called altar, the murderous intent, and the inheritance, Xu Que did not care about them at all. Since Er Gou and Duan Jiude had set up such a trap, it was clear they understood that altar very well; perhaps they had even been inside before, and they would certainly have a way to break the trap.
Therefore, Xu Que did not view the altar or the murderous intent as a threat. He wanted to go over now just to see what kind of expressions Er Gou and Duan Jiude would have when they saw him.
Of course, on this trip inside, he would also take the opportunity to slaughter the people of the Shennong Clan!
Since he had arrived in the Heavenly Continent, Xu Que had no intention of keeping a low profile. The Shennong Clan had not only offended him but had also captured Liu Jingning and the others to threaten and force Er Gou and the others to show themselves; Xu Que could not possibly let them off.
Although he was also very clear that the Shennong Clan was a behemoth, and his great enemies still included the Saint Sect and the Heavenly Palace Academy!
However, how could a dignified King of Acting Cool be intimidated!
The Shennong Clan is nothing!
Even if they have Imperial Physician Golden Immortals, so what?
Even if they have Great Luo Golden Immortals, so what?
Even if they are the overlords of the Taiyin Immortal Realm!
Even if their overall strength and foundation are not much weaker than the Saint Sect!
Then, so what?
To become a powerhouse, one must be fearless!
At worst, he could just frame everything on Er Gou and Duan Jiude in the end!
【The second update is here!】
