Chapter 1648

Whoosh!

Xu Que's punch immediately caused everyone to exclaim.

"My god! That monk hit Long Aotian!"

"Now it's done. Long Aotian has the smallest heart in the Heavenly Gate; that monk is going to be in trouble."

"Well hit! I've long found this guy Long Aotian an eyesore, acting so arrogant all day long."

It could be seen that Long Aotian's popularity among the cultivators was not good, and even Murong Yunhai cheered a little.

This name was simply too easy to misunderstand. Xu Que had thought at the time that the legendary Long Aotian had come. Now that he knew he had hit the wrong person, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

"I'm really sorry. This poor monk thought some shameless person had come, so I struck out subconsciously," Xu Que quickly put on a kind smile, put his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, please forgive me, benefactor."

Long Aotian had already prepared to make a move, but seeing Xu Que's attitude was not bad, he snorted, "Look clearly next time! This young master won't argue with you today. The astrologer in the Heavenly Gate told this young master that it's not suitable to see blood before the wedding with Rou'er..."

Xu Que was stunned upon hearing this: "Benefactor, what did you just say?"

"Won't argue with you?"

"No, the next sentence."

"Before the wedding with Rou'er?"

Xu Que turned his head to look at Murong Yunhai: "Is what he said true? Is he going to marry Fairy Yu Rou?"

Murong Yunhai was full of disdain: "Listen to his bullshit. Master never said he wanted to find a Dao companion for Fairy Yu Rou. This idiot claims to be Fairy Yu Rou's fiancé outside all day long; he'll be beaten to death sooner or later!"

Xu Que took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest.

Damn, he actually dared to spread rumors outside!

If he let this guy live to go out today, he wouldn't be surnamed Xu!

Originally, he was already prepared to make a move directly. If it weren't for Murong Yunhai saying there was no such thing at all, they would probably be fighting by now.

"Everyone, the map shows that the first checkpoint of the Immortal Emperor's legacy is the guardian in the ancient secret realm," Xu Que didn't want to see this idiot anymore, so he turned to Murong Yunhai and the others and said, "Now what we need to do is find the guardian; defeat him, and we can enter the next checkpoint."

Whether it was the map Xu Que obtained or the cloud-patterned stones others obtained, they all contained introductions to the ancient secret realm assessment.

So not only them, but the more than one thousand cultivators present moved in unison, starting to search for the guardian in this area.

Half an hour later, the crowd that had scattered gathered together, each with a bitter expression.

"What's the situation? There isn't even a bird in this place; where is the guardian?"

"That's right, I've circled this place three times just now and didn't find a damn thing."

"Could this checkpoint be fake?"

Everyone shared the information they had obtained and found that no one had found the existence of the guardian.

The environment here was only this big; it was impossible not to find it!

"Er Gouzi, where are you?" Xu Que contacted Er Gouzi using the communication jade.

"We are on the outermost perimeter; we don't know where the guardian is either," Er Gouzi said in a low voice. "By the way, there was a hint on the original map saying that the guardian is hidden in the most conspicuous place."

The most conspicuous place?

Xu Que looked around; apart from mountains and trees, or the wilderness under his feet, where the hell was the most conspicuous... wait!

He scanned the mountain in front of him again and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Holy shit!

No way!

"Everyone... I think I know where the guardian is..." Xu Que swallowed and said slowly.

The other cultivators were excited upon hearing this and gathered around Xu Que to ask.

Xu Que licked his lips and pointed at the mountain in front of him: "Look... does this mountain look like a person sitting down?"

The crowd was stunned, flew backward to open up distance, and examined the mountain from afar.

"Holy shit!"

"Damn! Are you kidding me!"

"Fuck! This is the guardian?"

In an instant, curses filled with shock rose one after another, full of disbelief.

In their eyes, this mountain was like a giant sitting with its knees hugged; the top of the mountain was the head buried between the knees.

Murong Yunhai muttered: "Stop kidding... this isn't something a normal person can beat, right?"

Although mortals mostly use "moving mountains and filling seas" to describe these cultivators, and they could indeed do this step.

But that was limited to within their ability range, such as moving a small hill of a hundred meters.

This mountain in front of them was at least fifty zhang tall!

Their group standing at the foot of the mountain wasn't even as good as ants!

Let alone fighting, as long as this guardian woke up, it could just lift its foot and step down, and no one present would be able to escape.

"Should we consider thinking it over in the long run?" Qing Suyi suggested cautiously.

The other leaders looked at each other and immediately agreed loudly.

"As expected of the pillar of the Green Bamboo Sect, doing things is indeed steady."

"Logical thinking, clear logic, I admire you."

"I will learn more from Fellow Daoist Qing in the future. Oh, by the way, which way is the exit?"

They had already made up their minds; as soon as they went out, they would immediately bring all the combat power in their sects.

As for whether they could get in... weren't there so many other sect people present? At that time, the tickets for entry would inevitably be reshuffled!

After all, there were only a mere thousand people present; wouldn't fighting this guardian be like scratching an itch?

"Whoosh!"

Just as they were preparing to withdraw, a sound of breaking through the air rang out.

Then, there were continuous "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounds.

They saw a stream of light fly out from every cultivator, flying toward the mountain.

"It's our cloud-patterned stones!" someone exclaimed.

Before anyone could react, a full thousand cloud-patterned stones flew into the mountain.

The next second, a violent tremor came from the earth, and the whole mountain began to shake.

Xu Que didn't say a word and turned around to run backward.

The others didn't react at all until they heard Xu Que's roar.

"Run! This guardian is resurrecting!"

Everyone's faces turned pale in unison, finally realizing where the tremor on the ground came from.

A giant that was fifty zhang tall while sitting would be at least eighty zhang tall when standing up. With such a giant standing up, could the ground not shake?

While running, everyone suddenly reacted and showed expressions of despair.

The cloud-patterned stones were all sucked away; they were equivalent to being locked in here!

Then what's the point of running!

Everyone looked at the mountain with dead faces, waiting for the guardian to wake up...
