Chapter 1193: Use Your Brain

A toy?

A high-grade Immortal Artifact as a plaything?

Everyone present had their mouths twitching, but they could only stare with envy, unable to do anything else.

Snatching things from the hands of a powerhouse suspected to be above an Immortal King? That's something only a fool would do!

If there were loose cultivators here, perhaps some bold ones might consider taking the risk to snatch it. But those present were all disciples of the strongest forces in the Heavenly Continent. They couldn't risk their lives and the entire force behind them just for a high-grade Immortal Artifact or a type of divine material!

Although they had indeed had small thoughts when they saw the Purple Void Geng Metal, since they had missed it, they couldn't choose to take the risk to snatch it now!

"Awoo, this deity knew it, it's always like this, all the good things are taken by you!" Er Gouzi shouted with a tragic face at this moment.

Xu Que rolled his eyes and weighed the Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staff in his hand, which had quite a bit of weight: "Er Gouzi, you should make it clear first, all the materials were taken out by me!"

"Then you also owe a lot to these Divine Fires to be able to refine that Purple Void Geng Metal! Damn, the more this deity thinks about it, the angrier I get. Forget it, I'm going to find that girl, and then we're leaving!" Er Gouzi was helpless.

It had originally thought about shaking off Xu Que, and returning here would allow it to get a Divine Artifact. Who would have thought it would have to return empty-handed again.

"Leaving? Then the inheritance inside..." Xu Que was stunned.

Er Gouzi sneered, "Hehe, inheritance my ass. There were only two inheritances left inside, and they have already been divided by me and Teacher Duan. Of course, there are other large areas in this ruin. If you have the guts to break in, feel free to try. Anyway, this deity doesn't want to go anymore!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others present frowned.

Er Gouzi had said it to this point, clearly even it didn't have the confidence to break into the other places, so their trip could only end here.

After all, from the beginning, they hadn't successfully broken in. If it weren't for tracking Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, they wouldn't have been able to walk to this place today. If even Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude didn't dare to go to other places, then their hard breaking in would only be sending their lives in vain.

"Forget it, it was a wasted trip in the end!" Ji Wu Yun shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

He hadn't held much hope for this trip, and besides, he didn't need to compete for the position of Divine Son. Since he had tried his best and failed, he should retreat when it was time to retreat.

"Heh, Divine Inheritance, I knew it wouldn't be that easy to obtain!" The prodigy of Zhou Wang Palace also smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly.

The group had all decided to give up. Although it hadn't been easy to walk to this point, looking at this Dao field that had fallen into ruins, they had long since held no hope.

"Haha, actually it's okay. Don't forget the Divine Spirit remnant soul on the altar outside. We can divide it when we go out!" The prodigy of Dishou Mountain laughed.

The other two also nodded, clearly having thought of that Divine Spirit remnant soul. At least dividing a fragment and taking it back, this trip wouldn't be in vain.

"Elder Xu, shall we go out first or wait for you?" At this moment, Bai Cailing also opened her mouth and looked at Xu Que, asking.

"You guys go first. I still have to wait for someone before going back!" Xu Que waved his hand.

He wanted to see Liu Jingning. Since they parted ways in the Buried Immortal Valley, if he calculated carefully, it had been more than eight years. Besides, the Extreme Joy Sect had died quite a few people here, so he should accompany Liu Jingning and enlighten and comfort her.

Hearing that Xu Que didn't want to leave yet, Ji Wu Yun hurriedly opened his mouth, "Elder Xu, since that's the case, I don't know about the Immortal Artifact you borrowed just now..."

"Don't worry, I'll return it when I borrow it, and it won't be difficult to borrow again. I'll go to your Qisha Immortal Realm when I have time after going out, and I'll return the Immortal Artifact to you by the way!" Xu Que said indifferently.

However, Ji Wu Yun's jade seal had long since turned into Artifact Refining Essence. Xu Que couldn't think of anything to return to him right now, so he could only drag it out with a thick skin.

Ji Wu Yun didn't doubt it, thinking that this old man didn't even look at high-grade Immortal Artifacts, and wouldn't disdain to cheat him out of such a half-grade Immortal Artifact. He nodded with peace of mind and smiled, "Good, our Qisha Immortal Realm will definitely welcome Elder Xu then!"

"You're too polite!" Xu Que responded, his face full of kind smiles, while he had already listed the Qisha Immortal Realm on his blacklist in his heart. If there was no necessity, he would never step foot in that place in this life.

In the end, the group also turned around and withdrew, bypassing the Dao field and returning along the path they came.

Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude took the lead and went toward the ruins in the back.

Liu Jingning had previously been injured by some restrictions, and coupled with a battle with the Shennong Clan, her injuries had worsened. Even though she was saved by Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, she could only find a place to go into seclusion to heal her wounds first.

But now that Xu Que had come, he was least lacking in spirit medicine, not to mention he had a Nine-Turn Flat Peach with abundant Immortal Yuan. Biting off a small piece and giving it to Liu Jingning to take would be much more useful than her going into seclusion for many days or even eating many spirit medicines!

However, not long after Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude rushed to the ruins, they suddenly stopped and stood there in a daze.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Que immediately asked, "What's going on? Where is she?"

"Damn! Something is wrong with this place!" Er Gouzi turned its head, looking like it had seen a ghost and shouted.

Duan Jiude was also full of confusion, scratching his head and saying, "It shouldn't be. We clearly hid her in this small house. How come both the person and the house are gone?"

Hearing this, everyone present stopped one after another.

Ji Wu Yun and the other two prodigies looked at that side in astonishment. They all knew who Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude were talking about. After all, they had watched the Shennong Clan capture the people of the Extreme Joy Sect here, and watched Liu Jingning being saved by Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude.

It's just that they didn't expect that Liu Jingning had another accident now, and the whole person had disappeared!

"Did you remember the orientation wrong?" Xu Que couldn't help but frown and walked forward.

This Dao field was very spacious, surrounded by ruins. At a glance, they all looked almost the same, making it very difficult to distinguish the direction. So if Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude remembered the wrong place, it was a very normal situation.

"No, there really is a problem!" Mo Junchen's expression tightened, and he said in a deep voice.

He pointed to the orientation of Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude and continued, "We set up a protective formation here when we left. Now the formation is still here, but the person and the house are indeed gone!"

"What?"

Xu Que's face changed instantly. Liu Jingning was already injured. If she encountered any other accidents or touched any restrictions, she would be in great danger!

"Eh, Elder Xu, wait a moment, this place seems to possess a hidden door!" At this moment, Ji Wu Yun suddenly spoke up, and also walked over.

"Hidden door?" Xu Que didn't understand.

Ji Wu Yun didn't answer, but struck out a strand of Immortal Yuan, pointing directly at the front.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, an invisible barrier suddenly manifested on the ruins in front of Er Gouzi, and the Immortal Yuan force hit it, instantly scattering into a mass and dissipating into nothingness.

"Sure enough!" Ji Wu Yun's expression became solemn, and he said, "This is a phenomenon that exists in many ancient battlefield ruins. It will suddenly isolate and hide certain places. We call it a hidden door. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to think of a corresponding cracking method until now. Elder Xu, in your era, was there such a situation?"

"My era?" Xu Que was stunned and shrugged his shoulders, "In our place, this should be called a ghost hitting the wall!"

Ghost hitting the wall?

What a powerful name!

Everyone present was shocked, feeling it was inexplicable but powerful. It was the first time they had heard this term!

"What ghost hitting the wall, how do you crack this?" Er Gouzi shouted.

"Use your brain!" Xu Que rolled his eyes. How to crack it? You ask me, who the hell do I ask?

"Okay!"

Er Gouzi actually responded, then crouched down, kicked its hind legs forward, and its body shot out like a black arrow.

"Boom!"

Afterward, Er Gouzi's head smashed heavily onto that invisible barrier, triggering an earth-shattering loud noise, followed by Er Gouzi's heart-piercing screams!

"Awoo... damn, it hurts this deity to death. Didn't you say use your brain? Why is it of no use at all?"
