Chapter 1366: You Strike Her First

Bang!

Xu Que slapped his palm upward, facing the firmament, as if the entire sky belonged to his control, and a dull, loud noise echoed in the void.

The expressions of everyone present changed instantly. This kid had just finished passing the tribulation, and he could summon a new Heavenly Tribulation? Was it endless?

"Stop, wait a moment!" At the same time, the black-clad woman also shouted with a shocked expression.

She looked at Xu Que solemnly and explained: "I am not from the Imperial Palace, nor am I on the same side as her. I have no malice toward you; I am just here to watch the fun!"

"Watch the fun? Heh, do you think I would believe such a reason?" Xu Que sneered, his palm still facing the sky, his momentum like a rainbow, giving people the feeling that he could summon the Heavenly Tribulation at any moment.

It was precisely this feeling that made the black-clad woman unable to remain calm, and she hurriedly stood out to explain.

She truly had no intention of striking at Xu Que and really was just joining in the fun. How could she be willing to be implicated by Nishang Fairy and pass the tribulation together for no reason?

This was an ancient calamity, after all; if they were implicated in it, they had no confidence they could leave alive.

"You will believe it. I am from the Heavenly Demon Palace, and she is from the Saint Moon Hall. We have always been at odds, and I don't know why she wants to kill you, so it is impossible for me to intervene in this matter! If you still don't believe me, you can ask this Zixia Fairy beside you!" the black-clad woman said, her gaze looking at Zixia Fairy.

Zixia Fairy nodded faintly. Although she also didn't know why Qiu Zili, the Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Palace, would appear with Nishang Fairy, Qiu Zili's words could indeed be trusted; after all, cultivators in the Immortal Cloud Continent all knew that the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Saint Moon Hall were sworn enemies!

"Yo, so that means you and her are enemies?" Xu Que saw Zixia Fairy nod and immediately looked at Qiu Zili with a smile: "There is a good old saying: the enemy of an enemy is a friend. So, shouldn't you be standing on our side?"

"I am just here to watch the fun, I don't intend to..." Qiu Zili shook her head.

But before she could finish, Xu Que interrupted: "If you don't strike, it's hard for me to believe you. Besides... I don't mind killing one more Immortal Venerable, even if we have no grudges, hee hee hee!"

"You..." Qiu Zili was instantly so angry that her eyes widened!

This was clearly a threat, and even if it was a threat, you still "hee hee hee"? Hee your sister!

Whoosh!

At the same time, Nishang Fairy beside Qiu Zili also suddenly retreated a step, opening up distance!

She was full of solemnity and vigilance, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

Obviously, she believed Qiu Zili would make some choice, so she had to retreat; otherwise, if Qiu Zili suddenly struck, she would definitely suffer a big loss!

And at this moment, her murderous intent also began to waver!

Although it was true that she wanted to kill Xu Que, if it meant risking her own life, she had to reconsider this matter.

Although the Heavenly Tribulation Xu Que was passing wasn't a true ancient calamity, it was already close enough.

And once Xu Que implicated her and the black-clad woman into passing the tribulation together, the ancient calamity that descended would very likely be the true ancient calamity.

To kill Xu Que, she would have to pass an ancient calamity, and might even face Qiu Zili's betrayal, teaming up with Xu Que and Zixia Fairy to deal with her. Her chances of winning were almost zero, and it would endanger her life!

This risk was simply too great!

"Qiu Zili, if you help me, I can guarantee that I will no longer pursue the matter of you stealing the Holy Water!" Nishang Fairy said.

"Heh, I have never been afraid of your pursuit!" Qiu Zili laughed, but then looked at Xu Que and asked: "You are called Xu Que, right? Why don't you tell me why she is so anxious to kill you? Maybe I really will strike to help you!"

"You don't know the reason?" Xu Que looked at Xu Que with an unexpectedly surprised expression.

"Of course I don't, but I guessed some reasons just now. It should be related to her junior sister, Fairy Yu Rou, right? To tell you the truth, I am also very surprised by your relationship; you actually know Fairy Yu Rou, and your relationship seems to be quite extraordinary!" Qiu Zili replied.

Fairy Yu Rou?

Hearing this title, Xu Que's mouth curled into a smile.

How could he not hear that this was Xiao Rou's title? He just didn't expect Xiao Rou to have such status in the Immortal Cloud Continent, enough to make an Immortal Venerable-level expert call her "Fairy Yu Rou," which was enough to show that her strength and status were extraordinary.

Therefore, the fact that she was doing well was something worth being happy about!

"That's right, it is indeed related to Fairy Yu Rou!" Xu Que nodded and admitted.

"As expected, but your aptitude and strength are also not simple. Why does she still want to kill you?" Qiu Zili asked directly.

This was the point she couldn't figure out. If Xu Que were a person with ordinary aptitude who wasn't worthy of Fairy Yu Rou, then the Saint Moon Hall wanting to kill Xu Que would barely be understandable.

But the problem was that Xu Que had already shown such aggressive strength, yet Nishang Fairy's murderous intent was even heavier, which was what she couldn't figure out!

"Can't you see why? From the beginning, the answer has been written on my face!" Xu Que pointed to his own face: "Handsome, it's because I'm too handsome, which makes people jealous!"

"Pfft!" Qiu Zili had originally been looking at Xu Que's face with suspicion, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This guy is truly interestingly different!

"Good, since that's the reason, I can strike to help you!" Qiu Zili didn't pursue the question further, but instead went along with Xu Que's words and agreed to the matter.

She was very smart and knew that since Xu Que didn't want to say, no matter how much she asked, there wouldn't be an answer.

And her choice to help Xu Que was naturally also based on the consideration that teaming up with Xu Que and Zixia Fairy to deal with Nishang Fairy would be much less dangerous than dealing with the ancient calamity herself.

Not to mention, she also valued Xu Que's strength.

Given time, this young man would have an immeasurable future. Now that such an opportunity to be on good terms with him was placed before her, how could she miss it!

"Very good, I admire you!" Xu Que curled his lips, nodded, and said, "Then you strike first, finish her!"

"I strike first?" The smile on Qiu Zili's face faded slightly.

"That's right, you strike first. If necessary, I will summon the Heavenly Tribulation to help you... don't look at me with those suspicious eyes, this is tactics, and this place has long been surrounded by our Exploding Heaven Gang. We can guarantee your safety if you strike her!" Xu Que instigated.

Qiu Zili, however, was already expressionless and shook her head: "If you do this, it's a bit insincere!"

If they struck together, she naturally wouldn't have any objections, but now that Xu Que wanted her to strike first, even a fool could hear that there was a problem!

"Eh, do you not trust me? You can ask anyone here; in the Heavenly Continent, who doesn't know that I, Xu Que, always keep my word, and who doesn't know that the Exploding Heaven Gang is the most trustworthy?" Xu Que immediately widened his eyes and shouted.

"This God Venerable can prove that what Brother Que said is all true!" Er Gou shouted immediately.

"Old man I can also prove it, girl, you can trust him!" Duan Jiude also nodded.

However, Qiu Zili looked at Er Gou and Duan Jiude, and instantly confirmed that her suspicion was correct.

She shook her head while retreating, looking at Xu Que: "I always feel like you are designing me. Those two look like they aren't serious old men and dogs at all, so I have to listen to their words in reverse!"
