Chapter 1612: Don't Listen to the Divine Venerable, You

Ran, ransom?

The crowd was stunned, a bit unable to react.

Xu Que rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "Haven't you heard of kidnapping? Now you are my hostages. Do you think you can leave without paying a ransom?"

Hearing Xu Que's words, the crowd almost had their faces twisted in anger.

I am a dignified Immortal King, Immortal Venerable, and I have actually fallen to the point of needing a ransom to redeem myself.

Simply a disgrace!

An Immortal Venerable's face was gloomy as he slowly said: "I don't know how much ransom Fellow Daoist Xu needs?"

Xu Que narrowed his eyes, feeling the terrifying aura about to descend above his head, and smiled: "Everyone is a person of status in the Immortal Cloud Continent, and the lowest cultivation present is an Immortal King. I think ten billion spirit stones per person is not too much, right?"

Hiss!

The crowd gasped, their eyes full of disbelief.

Ten billion?!

You might as well go rob someone... oh wait, he is robbing someone now, so that's fine.

But the problem is, who the hell can take out ten billion!

Even if they had it, it's impossible to carry ten billion spirit stones and run around on the street!

Are they burning money because they have too much? Even an Immortal Emperor wouldn't carry ten billion spirit stones everywhere!

"Fellow Daoist Xu! These are all my spirit stones!"

"This is all my family's wealth, please accept it, Fellow Daoist Xu!"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, these are the spirit stones I brought with me. If the amount is not enough, after leaving this place, I can go back and get them for you." An Immortal King, knowing he didn't have many spirit stones on him, proposed actively.

They were already retreating to the edge of the restrictions, but once the Ancient Catastrophe descended, it would cover hundreds of miles, and there would be nowhere to hide!

The crowd felt extremely annoyed in their hearts. Why did they come to chase this kid?

It's just an Ancient Buddha Inheritance, why not just give it to him?

Regret, simply very regretful!

Who could have imagined that a Great Luo Golden Immortal kid would suddenly break through to the Immortal King Stage at this time!

What's more terrifying is that this guy's Heavenly Tribulation is actually an Ancient Catastrophe!

An Ancient Catastrophe would be fine, but this Ancient Catastrophe is countless times stronger than the legendary Ancient Catastrophe!

Is there something wrong!

Looking back over the past thousand years, the cultivators present had never seen such a powerful Ancient Catastrophe.

Is this really crossing the tribulation?

Could it be that this kid offended the Heavenly Dao, so the Heavenly Dao came to take revenge on him!

It had to be said that they had indeed guessed the truth, but this truth was too shocking, so for a while, no one thought in this direction.

"Xu Que, think clearly, we are a sect under the Heavenly Gate, the Qingyun Taishang Sect. This Heavenly Tribulation of yours can only be crossed once. If you kill us, the Heavenly Gate will definitely be at odds with you!" An Immortal Venerable was terrified and uneasy, having to bring out the name of the Immortal Sect, hoping to make Xu Que stop.

"Xu Que, I am willing to swear by my heart demon, as long as you let us go, we will absolutely not retaliate, and from now on, we will never go against the Exploding Heaven Gang again!" An Immortal King even swore on the spot, wanting to leave.

However, no matter what they said, Xu Que ignored them completely and stared at the sky.

He slowly lowered his head, looked down at the crowd, a exaggerated arc on the corner of his mouth, and laughed arrogantly: "Want the Ancient Buddha Inheritance? It's on me, but I won't give it to you. If you have the ability, come and take it from me!"

Everyone was stunned.

What exactly is Xu Que thinking?

We have clearly told him the pros and cons, and he still dares to provoke us like this?

Does he really think he has the strength to rival an Immortal Venerable?

On the road, some Immortal Venerables had analyzed that they had always overestimated the true combat power of the "Virtue-Lacking Dog." Before, they defeated the Heavenly Gate Immortal Venerable by strategy, not by head-on confrontation.

What's more, with so many Immortal Venerables making moves together, even the people from the Heavenly Gate would have to avoid their edge.

"Scoundrel, you are asking for trouble!" an Immortal Venerable couldn't help but roar, stepping forward, "A mere Great Luo Golden Immortal, do you really think that by mastering the Ancient Buddha Inheritance, you can do whatever you want?"

Xu Que's mouth raised a cold smile, and his entire aura suddenly soared, rushing straight to the Immortal King Stage.

The crowd was stunned.

What is the situation?

How did this guy suddenly reach the Immortal King Stage?

... ===== CHAPTER 1613 =====

Given Xu Que's personality, no one doubted for a second that Xu Que would come knocking with the IOUs to collect debts in the future.

After all, this guy was clearly the type who feared nothing; he even dared to scam the Immortal Venerables of the Heavenly Gate, let alone the Immortal Venerables of their small factions.

Harboring feelings of humiliation, everyone wrote out IOUs one after another and handed them to Xu Que.

A moment later, Xu Que had a handful of IOUs in his hand, and he was blooming with joy.

"Qingyun Taishang Sect, owes me three billion spirit stones."

"Nine Tiger Blood Fiend Sect, owes me three billion spirit stones."

"..."

After reading all the IOUs, Xu Que put them into the system and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, everyone is very cooperative. This leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang likes making friends with sensible people the most."

Who the hell wants to be friends with you!

Everyone roared in their hearts.

If it weren't for the fact that the ancient catastrophe was about to fall on their heads, they would never have signed such unequal IOUs even if they were beaten to death!

Three billion spirit stones!

They might as well sell themselves!

At this moment, a few Immortal Kings who were particularly slow suddenly poked their heads out from afar.

Upon reaching the front and seeing this scene, they completely fell apart.

"What? These Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables were actually locked inside by Xu Que and are about to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation?"

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, a touch of luck welled up in the hearts of these Immortal Kings.

Luckily I was slow enough, otherwise, the one locked inside now would be me!

"Gahahaha, this Divine Venerable told you to run, but you refused to listen." Er Gouzi stood outside the restriction, hands on his hips, laughing arrogantly, "This is called not listening to the Divine Venerable's words, and suffering the consequences right before your eyes."

Duan Jiude had an expression of deep realization: "That's right, this old man already warned you not to offend this kid, but you insisted on chasing him for so long. I really don't know what you were thinking. You don't even have one-tenth of this old man's handsomeness and wit, yet you dare to go against this kid?"

Being able to live well to this day after scamming Xu Que many times had always been a point of pride for Duan Jiude.

Look at you Immortal Kings, usually acting all high and mighty, but as soon as you meet this brat, you wilt.

This old man is different; I've scammed this kid many times, yet I'm still alive and well today!

What do you call this?

This is called a gap!

"Boom!"

At this moment, a deafening roar erupted once again over the desert.

Dozens more golden dragons were seen condensing behind the first golden dragon.

These golden dragons were frantically absorbing the surrounding ancient catastrophe, making their bodies even more massive.

Except for Xu Que, everyone else under the Heavenly Tribulation had already begun to feel difficulty breathing, their foreheads covered in cold sweat; some Immortal Kings with insufficient cultivation couldn't even straighten their bodies.

This is the power of the Heavenly Tribulation!

The so-called ancient catastrophe, the pressure of heaven and earth it contains, is enough to make an Immortal King cultivator collapse directly!
