Chapter 1389

~9 min read 1,679 words

That day, many disciples of the Heavenly Palace Academy fled one after another, rushing out of the academy as if fleeing for their lives.

The Heavenly Palace Academy, which should have been one of the overlords of the largest forces in the Heavenly Continent, declared its decline in almost a single day!

Li Xuanqi, the founder who opened the Heavenly Palace Academy, was killed, the junior Dean and Vice Dean were both dead, along with the remaining elders who were also wiped out; who else would dare to stay and support this academy?

Plus, with Xu Que releasing harsh words that he would take over the Heavenly Continent, these academy disciples wouldn't dare to sing a different tune from Xu Que as long as they weren't stupid.

They evacuated this place of right and wrong, rushing back to their respective forces, preparing to bring back the shocking news of today.

And Xu Que, logically, occupied the Heavenly Palace Academy and headed straight for the academy's Treasure Pavilion!

Back then, he had disguised himself as Xu Que's father, carrying the Vice Dean's token, and entered the Treasure Pavilion, but because there was an elder watching the treasure pavilion inside, he hadn't been able to empty it!

Now that the Heavenly Palace Academy was empty, the massive treasure vault was like a golden mountain, waiting for Xu Que to dig!

"The foundation in this Treasure Pavilion is extraordinary; there might be relics left behind by the previous generation of the Heavenly Palace Academy. Back then, this Divine Venerable didn't have time to search carefully, now I must dig it three feet deep!" Er Gouzi stood outside the treasure vault door, full of excitement, its eyes shining with essence!

"This old man remembers that at that time, we all sensed that there were some restrictions hidden in the treasure vault, but unfortunately, hindered by the presence of experts, we couldn't act rashly. Now it's just right to see what secrets are hidden inside!" Duan Jiude was also full of eagerness!

Copying homes, robbing graves, and looting were clearly the things they were most interested in!

"Let's go, hurry up, we still have to go to the Saint Sect in a while!" Xu Que waved his hand, took the lead in stepping forward, and with a palm strike, the restrictions on the treasure vault door were instantly shattered.

Clang!

The next moment, the entire door popped open automatically, and a breeze blew out from within.

"Damn!"

"What's the situation?"

"Has this place been looted by someone else?"

"Where are the spirit stones, pills, and techniques that were placed inside?"

As soon as the door opened, Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude exclaimed one after another.

Xu Que also frowned, stunned.

The entire treasure vault was empty, and the countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures that had been placed on the wall shelves had actually been moved away completely.

"Damn, kid look, there's a hole here, someone took a step ahead!" Er Gouzi's eyes were poisonous, and it immediately saw a gap in the corner of the treasure vault, like a dog hole dug in from the outside!

"Eh? This dog hole size and technique... Teacher Er Gou, did you do this?" Duan Jiude sized up the dog hole and immediately locked his suspicious gaze on Er Gouzi.

Er Gouzi was almost so angry it jumped up, shouting angrily: "Fart, if this Divine Venerable were to enter, I would enter openly and aboveboard, how could I use such a low-class technique?"

"You would!" Duan Jiude was deeply convinced.

"Stop arguing, this matter really wasn't done by Er Gouzi!" Xu Que waved his hand, walked directly to the small hole, and picked up a golden-yellow fluff from the ground.

Including the edge of the hole, some golden-yellow fluff was also left behind, and even some faint footprints remained on the ground, shaped like a lotus flower, but as thin as a person's little finger!

Obviously, these traces really weren't left by Er Gouzi.

"Eh, what kind of hair is this?" Duan Jiude also leaned forward at this time.

Er Gouzi twitched its nose a few times, full of annoyance: "Whatever hair it is, anyway, this matter wasn't done by this Divine Venerable. You framed this Divine Venerable and splashed dirty water on me, how should this matter be settled?"

"Sorry then!" Duan Jiude said without any sincerity.

"Is sorry useful? This matter concerns this Divine Venerable's reputation!" Er Gouzi was unrelenting.

"Eh, wait a minute, Gang Leader, can you let this Protector see this hair?" At this time, Mo Junchen was startled and walked forward, his gaze curiously sizing up the fluff in Xu Que's hand.

Xu Que nodded and handed the golden fluff over.

Mo Junchen only used two fingers to pinch the golden fluff, rubbed it gently a few times, and put it to his nose to sniff, shaking his head: "Strange, this is somewhat like the hair of a monkey demon, but the smell is not right. Monkey demon hair should carry a trace of musk, slightly pungent, but this hair contains a hint of peach blossom fragrance!"

"It should be a Green-Eyed Golden-Fragrance Monkey!" Fairy Zixia said directly.

Xu Que and the others looked at her, full of confusion.

Green-Eyed Golden-Fragrance Monkey?

This type of monkey demon was the first time they had heard of it!

Fairy Zixia's expression became solemn, and she sighed secretly: "The day the Heavenly Continent's shackles break is getting closer and closer!"

"Master, what does this mean?" Duan Jiude was confused.

"The Green-Eyed Golden-Fragrance Monkey is a variant among the monkey race. They like to live alone, love to steal, and are born with a mysterious hidden movement technique. Their claws can pierce through restrictions, and ordinary Immortal Kings don't dare to provoke them easily."

Fairy Zixia said this and paused slightly: "However, this type of species shouldn't exist in the Heavenly Continent. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that the shackles in some areas of the Heavenly Continent have begun to collapse, and the Green-Eyed Golden-Fragrance Monkey happened to encounter it, dug it open, and sneaked into the Heavenly Continent!"

"Damn, the character of this kind of monkey demon is no good, actually loving to steal!" Er Gouzi immediately condemned it sternly.

"This old man despises this kind of monkey!" Duan Jiude nodded in agreement.

"It is indeed very bad, it should be severely punished without mercy!" Xu Que also clenched his fists, righteous and awe-inspiring.

Everyone present instantly twitched their mouths, and black lines rose on their foreheads.

This "Virtue-Lacking Dog" combination really didn't have any self-awareness at all!

No matter how bad the character of the Green-Eyed Golden-Fragrance Monkey was, could it be worse than you three goods?

"Heh heh, but fortunately, the restrictions in this treasure vault were not discovered by that monkey!" At this time, Er Gouzi smiled wretchedly again.

Xu Que also nodded slightly; although the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the treasure vault were very precious, they were dispensable to them.

Their trip here was purely to see what was hidden behind the restrictions in this Treasure Pavilion.

Since the hidden restrictions here hadn't been destroyed, it meant the secrets inside hadn't been touched!

The group immediately swept toward the upper floor of the Treasure Pavilion and landed in front of a wall shelf; the hidden restriction was located here!

"Ya, this hidden restriction is very profound, this Divine Venerable feels there must be good things inside!" Er Gouzi was incredibly excited.

"Now we should consider whether to spend time breaking it or to break it by force!" Xu Que touched his chin, somewhat hesitant.

According to his past style, he would definitely kick it with a King-Forcing Leg and forcibly break the restriction!

But the Green-Eyed Golden-Fragrance Monkey matter Fairy Zixia mentioned made Xu Que hesitate!

Logically speaking, the Green-Eyed Golden-Fragrance Monkey was a being that even Immortal King experts feared by three points; its intelligence definitely wasn't weak, so there was no reason it wouldn't discover the hidden restriction in this treasure vault.

With the habits of the Green-Eyed Golden-Fragrance Monkey, would it let go of this restriction?

Unless... this restriction was too hard, and the Green-Eyed Golden-Fragrance Monkey couldn't break it by force, or it didn't dare to break it by force!

"Xu Que, be careful!" At this time, Jiang Hongyan suddenly spoke, saying softly: "The Heavenly Palace Academy was rebuilt on the old site of the Heavenly Palace Academy back then, and many things are still left over from the Heavenly Palace Academy. This restriction might also come from the Heavenly Palace Academy; it hasn't been broken for so many years, so it shouldn't be simple!"

"I know, and thinking about breaking this restriction by force, I seem to have a bad premonition!" Xu Que nodded and simultaneously reached out his hand, approaching the hidden restriction!

"Ding, automatic defense mechanism activated!"

Suddenly, the system prompt sound rang out.

Xu Que was startled and immediately pulled his hand back!

Damn, what's the situation?

Is this restriction really dangerous?

"Ding, automatic defense mechanism deactivated!" After Xu Que retracted his arm, the system prompt sound rang out again, deactivating the defense mechanism!

This made Xu Que raise his eyebrows; this restriction was indeed dangerous, but when he approached that restriction, he felt nothing at all, whereas the system had detected the danger?

"System, what's the situation, is this very dangerous? Tell me what the danger is, I guarantee I absolutely won't retreat!" Xu Que immediately moved his mind and asked the system.

The system remained silent and didn't respond for a long time.

"Damn, ignoring me?"

Xu Que widened his eyes and reached out his hand toward the restriction again!

System: "Ding, automatic defense mechanism activated!"

Xu Que quickly retracted his hand!

System: "Ding, automatic defense mechanism de..."

Xu Que reached out his hand again!

System: "Ding, automatic defense..."

Xu Que retracted his hand again!

System: "Ding..."

Xu Que reached out his hand again!

System: "Damn... Ding, after detection, there is huge danger hidden behind the restriction!"
