Chapter 1367: Don't Run If You Have the Guts

"Holy crap!"

"Damn it!"

Er Gou and Duan Jiude cursed out loud simultaneously, glaring at Qiu Zili.

"What do you mean? This God Venerable kindly reminded you, and you dare to slander this God Venerable like this? Go out and ask, in the Heavenly Continent, who doesn't know that this God Venerable is full of righteousness and incorruptible?" Er Gou was full of irritation.

"Too much, the world is going downhill, people's hearts are not what they used to be. I, an old man, have lived for so long and have never seen such a person!" Duan Jiude was also furious.

However, everyone present chose to remain silent, and those expressionless faces were enough to express their inner thoughts—which was two words: contempt!

Qiu Zili's heart was as clear as a mirror; she had long known that Xu Que, Er Gou, and Duan Jiude were not ordinary people, otherwise, she wouldn't have seen the three of them tie the Medicine God to the city wall and throw feces at him earlier!

Could people who could do such wicked things be called ordinary?

One had to listen to such people's words in reverse; one couldn't believe a single word!

"Xu Que, think clearly. If you want to cooperate with me, I don't mind helping you, but you have to strike first! If you aren't sincere about cooperating, then I can leave and won't intervene in the grudges between you!" Qiu Zili looked at Xu Que and said with a smile.

"That's truly a pity, I really am not sincere about cooperating with you! However... you can't leave even if you want to. I'll just openly threaten you now: if you don't strike her, I'll make the two of you pass the Heavenly Tribulation with me again!"

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, Xu Que's palm facing the firmament clenched into a fist, and a loud noise echoed in the void.

"Stop!" Qiu Zili shouted immediately.

Nishang Fairy's expression also changed, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Yo, don't be afraid! As a dignified Immortal Venerable, how can you be bluffed by a small Great Luo Scattered Immortal like me? Actually, I was lying to you. I've already passed the Heavenly Tribulation, how could I possibly summon the Heavenly Tribulation again?" Xu Que laughed cheekily.

And this time, he was truly telling the truth; he couldn't summon the Heavenly Tribulation at all. From beginning to end, he was just using the tiger's might to bluff these two women.

But now, Nishang Fairy and Qiu Zili couldn't possibly believe his words.

Whether it was the truth or a lie, they didn't dare to believe it, and didn't want to hear a single word.

If it were before, they certainly wouldn't have believed Xu Que could summon the Heavenly Tribulation, but after witnessing Xu Que forcing back the thunder tribulation of the firmament, they couldn't help but have a few more doubts.

If he could force back the Heavenly Tribulation, what was impossible about him wanting to summon it again?

Qiu Zili's brows furrowed tightly, and she moved her crimson lips, already transmitting her voice to Nishang Fairy: "Ling Nishang, although I don't know what grudges you have with him, don't implicate me. It's still not too late to retreat together now!"

"You have seen his aptitude; if he isn't eliminated now, he will surely become a great disaster in the future!" Nishang Fairy responded via voice transmission, her face pale.

If she didn't have Qiu Zili's help, she wouldn't have the confidence to confront Zixia Fairy and Xu Que simultaneously, especially Xu Que's Heavenly Tribulation.

"That is a great disaster for your Imperial Palace, what does it have to do with me? In any case, I won't help you. Not to mention, this person has an extraordinary relationship with your junior sister. If your junior sister finds out you killed him, heh..." Qiu Zili sneered as she said this.

Nishang Fairy couldn't help but frown.

If Qiu Zili really didn't strike to help, then if she continued to consume time like this, she would only suffer a big loss.

Not to mention what Qiu Zili said was also a point she was worried about. Xiao Rou just hadn't recovered her memories yet, but if she really achieved the Imperial Throne in the future, then everything would be hard to say.

Although she was doing this on the surface for her own good, in reality, it was for the future of the Imperial Palace. If she really recovered her memories in the future, wouldn't she hold a grudge against herself? Was it worth it to risk her life today to eliminate Xu Que in exchange for a great enemy in the future?

Nishang Fairy's heart began to waver.

If Xu Que could be killed easily, she certainly wouldn't have so many doubts, let alone consider whether Xiao Rou would settle scores with her in the future.

But in the current situation, she had to hesitate.

In fact, she was loyal to the Saint Moon Hall and the Imperial Palace, and everything she did was for the Imperial Palace, but the various doubts that emerged in her heart at this moment were actually just her finding enough reasons to retreat to avoid developing a heart demon.

So now, the reasons she had found seemed sufficient for her to retreat.

"Good, let's retreat together!" Finally, Nishang Fairy nodded and responded to Qiu Zili via voice transmission.

Qiu Zili also breathed a sigh of relief. If Nishang Fairy remained obsessed and wouldn't listen, she would definitely choose to help Xu Que.

In her eyes, Xu Que, who had the Heavenly Tribulation to help him, plus Zixia Fairy, gave Xu Que's side too much of a winning chance; she had no reason to risk her life to help Nishang Fairy.

Of course, killing Nishang Fairy wasn't a good thing for her either; after all, everyone in the Saint Moon Hall knew that Nishang Fairy was hunting her down. If she died like this, the Saint Moon Hall would definitely investigate her, and when the time came to alarm the Imperial Palace, it would only bring all kinds of trouble to the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Therefore, Nishang Fairy agreeing to retreat now was the best outcome Qiu Zili could think of.

Everyone leaving together, avoiding casualties, couldn't be better!

"What have you discussed? Are you ready to take action?" At this moment, Xu Que also looked at Qiu Zili with a smile and asked.

"Xu Que, I have agreed with her. Let's treat today's matter as if it never happened. Whatever grudges you have, we can talk about them in the future. But now we don't want to fight here, farewell!" Qiu Zili said solemnly, her eyes meeting Nishang Fairy's.

Whoosh!

The two retreated rapidly at the same time, instantly retreating outside Heavenly Fiend City.

"Heh, you want to run after offending the Exploding Heaven Gang? Er Gou, Duan Jiude, go and deal with the two of them!" Xu Que immediately sneered, calling for help, actually wanting to pursue them.

Nishang Fairy and Qiu Zili naturally heard his shouting, and their expressions instantly turned ugly.

This was too humiliating.

Two dignified Immortal Venerable-level powerhouses, and even people with status in the Heavenly Continent, were now actually being pursued by a Great Luo Scattered Immortal?

If this were spread out, wouldn't it make people laugh their heads off?

However, humiliation was humiliation, and since the two had already chosen to retreat, they didn't intend to continue entangling with Xu Que.

"Forget it, let's use the secret technique together and awaken that divine talisman to return to the Immortal Cloud Continent! Today's score, we will settle it clearly with him in the future!" Qiu Zili looked at Xu Que pursuing them and had to look at Nishang Fairy and say.

"What did you say? Do you know that awakening that divine talisman will consume at least thirty percent of our lifespan?" Nishang Fairy's expression changed, and she looked at Qiu Zili in shock.

Qiu Zili sneered: "Heh, do you think it's more cost-effective to stay and fight him, or to lose thirty percent of your lifespan? And your divine talisman, although it is also very precious, if you don't use it now, I'm afraid you won't have a life to use it later!"

Nishang Fairy heard this, gritted her teeth fiercely, and finally, with a movement of her divine sense, took out a black talisman from her storage ring and offered it before her.

Pfft!

The next moment, the two slapped their chests simultaneously, spitting out a stream of their own life essence, which turned into two blood mists and sprinkled onto the black talisman.

The entire black talisman instantly turned into a flame, burning the void and melting a void gate.

"Xu Que, remember, if you dare to step into the Immortal Cloud Continent in the future, I will settle the old and new grudges with you together!" Nishang Fairy stepped into the void gate, glaring coldly at Xu Que.

"Trash, don't run if you have the guts, fight me!" Xu Que pursued, shouting loudly.

Nishang Fairy swayed and directly swept into the void.

Qiu Zili followed closely behind, and before leaving, she also glanced at Xu Que and suddenly smiled charmingly: "Good luck, I hope that one day in the future, I can see you in the Immortal Cloud Continent!"

"Don't run if you have the guts!" Xu Que shouted.

Whoosh!

Qiu Zili couldn't possibly stay, and also directly swept into the void!

Afterward, the entire void gate closed instantly, turning into a radiance the size of a grain of rice, flashing and disappearing, and the firmament returned to its original appearance.

"Holy crap, they escaped!" Xu Que pursued halfway, stopped, and looked annoyed, stamping his feet and beating his chest.

But in fact, he hadn't intended to truly pursue them at all; he had deliberately slowed his pace along the way, just to let those two women escape successfully.

After all, he really couldn't summon the Heavenly Tribulation, and with the system still upgrading, except for this trick of using the tiger's might to bluff, he couldn't think of any hope of winning against two Immortal Venerable-level powerhouses!

"Damn it, we were a step too slow!" At the same time, Er Gou arrived late.

"Hmph, they're lucky they ran fast, otherwise this old man would have definitely crushed an Immortal Venerable today!" Duan Jiude also shouted with an overbearing look.

"It's a pity, if I had known, this God Venerable would have just brought out the military tally and summoned a million Exploding Heaven Gang members to surround and kill them!" Er Gou shook its head, full of regret.

"..."

The entire scene was silent, everyone falling into a daze, still finding it hard to believe.

Originally, they had expected a great battle, to witness an Immortal Venerable-stage expert strike in a way never seen before.

As a result, two dignified Immortal Venerable-level powerhouses, and even powerhouses from outside the Heavenly Continent, actually fled without a fight!

The key was that Er Gou and Duan Jiude were still full of regret, and while shouting harsh words, they seemed to have exposed an incredible piece of news.

The Exploding Heaven Gang actually had a million members?

Were they all demons?
