Chapter 1455: Memory Pearl

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the air seemed to shatter into dust, and the surrounding Void was instantly drained away as if by some mysterious force!

A human figure shot up from the ground, holding a Zen Staff and pointing it toward the earth.

Instantly, several zhang of Spiritual Light erupted from the ground, Runes flowing and circulating, completely sealing off the area where Xuan Yuan Wanrong and Er Gouzi were located.

Xu Que had already known everything from God of Prophecy's forewarning; while calling out to Duan Qide, he had already retreated rapidly, managing to exit the Formation's range just in time to avoid this seal.

Whoosh!

At the same time, Duan Qide's figure finally manifested, looking somewhat different from what Xu Que had seen during the day.

The Duan Qide he had seen during the day was extremely young, with facial features that felt strangely familiar.

But now, Duan Qide looked as if he had been stamped from the exact same mold as Duan Jiude; they were incredibly alike!

Clearly, this was Duan Qide's true appearance; if Xu Que had seen this face during the day, he would surely have immediately associated him with Duan Jiude.

"Damn it, speak quickly, how did you discover me?" As soon as Duan Qide landed, he glared at Xu Que and asked with extreme urgency.

He was truly too astonished, his heart shaken; let alone Xu Que being merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal, even if Xu Que were at the Immortal Emperor Realm, it should have been impossible for him to detect his presence.

But now, not only had Xu Que exposed his hiding spot, he even knew about the Formation he had set up, and acting as if he possessed foreknowledge, he had managed to dodge the sealed area of the Formation exactly; this was truly somewhat baffling!

Xuan Yuan Wanrong and Er Gouzi also displayed strange expressions, never expecting that someone had silently arrived here, lying in ambush so deeply and setting up a Formation.

What made them even more stunned was that Xu Que and this person did not seem to have conspired together.

If it had been a premeditated plot, then the timing of Xu Que's evasion would not be strange, but this Duan Qide appeared even more surprised than they were, indicating that these two were not accomplices, which made this situation truly intriguing.

Even with their level of strength, they could not detect Duan Qide's presence, so how did Xu Que discover him?

Could it be that his Divine Soul Power had already surpassed the Immortal Emperor Realm and reached the Dao Venerable Realm?

"Haha, Brother Duan, how I discovered you isn't the point; the point is that you even plotted against me, which is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?" Xu Que stood outside the Formation, smiling as he looked at Duan Qide.

Duan Qide frowned tightly, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, good, everyone has their own secrets; if Brother Thanos won't say, then I won't ask. However, Brother Thanos, do not misunderstand; just now, you were all within the Formation's range, so I thought I would activate the Formation first to seal them, and then release you."

"Oh? So that's how it is!" Xu Que smiled and nodded.

Whoosh!

The next moment, his figure flickered, suddenly springing away from his original spot to appear several hundred meters away, then he smiled again at Duan Qide.

"How is this possible?" Duan Qide's face instantly changed dramatically.

As soon as his words fell, a "Boom" sounded, the ground trembled, and from the spot where Xu Que had just been standing, a large patch of Golden Beam shot straight into the sky.

Clearly, from the moment Duan Qide started laughing aloud, the Zen Staff in his hand had touched the ground, allowing Immortal Yuan Power to silently drill underground through the staff, setting up another Formation to prepare to capture Xu Que as well.

Who would have expected that Xu Que would dodge it once again in advance.

This truly frightened Duan Qide a bit; this time he had set up the Formation even more carefully and cautiously than before, ensuring not the slightest aura was leaked, yet it was still avoided.

"Holy crap!" Witnessing this scene, Er Gouzi was also shocked and shouted loudly.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong's expression also tightened, her gaze turning curious once again as she looked at Xu Que.

Duan Qide had set up the Formation right in front of them this time, and they had detected nothing, yet Xu Que handled it so easily; clearly, this person was truly not simple.

"Yo, Brother Duan, what are you doing this time?" Xu Que stood several hundred meters away and laughed loudly.

If it weren't for God of Prophecy just now, he would have truly been sealed by Duan Qide.

As expected, whether it was Er Gou's past life or Duan Jiude, his grandfather, not a single one of them was a good person, damn it.

Their hearts were too dirty!

"Hmph, since things have come to this step, I won't pretend with you anymore, and you shouldn't pretend with me either; I heard everything just now, your real name is Xu Que, and you used the alias Thanos to enter the Heavenly Palace Academy, surely you were aiming for the Treasure Library, right?" Duan Qide put away his smiling face, stared at Xu Que expressionlessly, and said.

"I actually wasn't aiming for the Treasure Library!" Xu Que spread his hands, still remaining wary of Duan Qide.

In terms of strength, he was far inferior to Duan Qide; once Duan Qide got serious, apart from running away, he had no other choice.

But fortunately, God of Prophecy had issued warnings twice in a row, allowing him to dodge Duan Qide's Formations, resulting in Duan Qide now being full of vigilance toward him and not making a move just yet.

This also meant there was a possibility of negotiation!

"Heh, Young Friend Xu, at a time like this, shouldn't we be honest with each other? If you weren't aiming for the Treasure Library, why did you tamper so much with the Heavenly Palace Academy's Mountain-Protecting Array?" Duan Qide sneered.

In his view, Xu Que tampering with the Mountain-Protecting Array was nothing more than an attempt to create a huge chaos, and then take the opportunity to steal items from the Treasure Library amidst the confusion.

But he never expected that Mighty King would actually beat him to it.

"Hahaha, Brother Duan has truly misunderstood; actually, what Mighty King said is correct, my target is not the Treasury, but Xuan Yuan Wanrong!" Xu Que laughed loudly.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong's face instantly sank, her eyes filled with coldness and surging Killing Intent.

Duan Qide also paused for a moment, looked at Xu Que, then looked at Xuan Yuan Wanrong, and chuckled.

So it turned out they had encountered a Cai Hua Ze, and such a Handsome Cai Hua Ze at that; awesome!

"Since our goals do not conflict, why must we fight? How about this: Mighty King belongs to you, and Xuan Yuan Wanrong belongs to me?" Xu Que spoke again.

Duan Qide did not hesitate either and immediately nodded in agreement.

Er Gouzi inside the Formation immediately started shouting: "Holy crap, Ba Ge, you can't do this! What happened to our brotherhood? How could you sell me, this Divine Venerable, so easily? Isn't that too rash!"

"Not rash at all; I have thought it over carefully; in this life of mine, I can only love one person, and that is Miss Xuan!" Xu Que replied.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong raised her delicate eyebrows, still staring at Xu Que, her Killing Intent growing even stronger.

She could tell that Xu Que was not a lecherous rogue; vaguely, it seemed he had a feeling of wanting to avoid her and stay as far away as possible; if Xu Que said his target was some other Female Disciple, she might believe it, but saying his target was her, she truly could not sense that.

However, this Lad opening and closing his mouth with her name made her feel very uncomfortable in her heart!

"Damn it, don't do this, Ba Ge, our brotherly fate is not yet exhausted! Thinking back to our past life, I called you Ba Ge, you called me Gou Zi, and together we stole every Treasury in the Kingdom; how glorious that was!" Er Gouzi still did not give up and shouted loudly.

"Those are all matters of the past; a true hero does not boast of past glories!" Xu Que waved his hand while walking toward the Formation.

As long as God of Prophecy did not issue a warning, it could basically be confirmed that Duan Qide truly wanted to cooperate.

"Damn it, you are truly shameless; this Divine Venerable tells you, if you hand me over, you will definitely regret it; you simply do not know how abundant my harvest in the Treasure Library was; among them, there is even a Memory Pearl concerning the secret of Xuan Yuan Wanrong's lineage; this Divine Venerable was planning that if I could not escape Xuan Yuan Wanrong's pursuit, I would hand over this item, but I never expected to fall into your hands first!" Er Gouzi said angrily.

Upon hearing this, both Xuan Yuan Wanrong and Xu Que instantly changed their expressions.

A Memory Pearl concerning Xuan Yuan Wanrong's lineage?
