Chapter 26: That Xu Que from Six Years Ago

The next day, the sky was getting bright!

Xu Que was wearing a black robe, carrying a Black Heavy Ruler on his back, with a dog-tail grass hanging from his mouth, humming a little tune, walking leisurely along the mountain road.

He had been traveling for a whole night and was heading towards the distant Imperial Capital.

But this place was on the border of the Fire Yuan Kingdom, not only desolate but also very far away. Even if he traveled day and night, it would take at least a month or two to reach the Imperial Capital.

However, Xu Que was already mentally prepared. He also planned to hunt some demon beasts along the way to accumulate experience and continue to level up.

After all, there were quite a few dangerous people in the Imperial Capital.

For example, the Emperor was an Infant Transformation Stage sixth-layer existence, one layer higher than the Heavenly Martial Sect Sect Master Zhang Danshan, and his strength was very terrifying!

Previously, Xu Que had used the double-strange-fire Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus to fight against Zhang Danshan, and that was with the bonus of the Dragon Soaring Nine Transformations state. That was already Xu Que's most powerful means.

But in the end, it didn't hurt Zhang Danshan at all, just tore his clothes and made him look quite embarrassed.

And now that Xu Que was going to the Imperial Capital, what he was about to face was the Emperor of the Fire Yuan Kingdom, who was even more powerful than Zhang Danshan. This pressure could be said to be quite significant!

After all, reaching the Infant Transformation Stage, the improvement of each layer of cultivation was very difficult. Even for those with excellent talent, each layer of cultivation would take at least decades, and even require countless heaven-defying materials to be able to improve.

The difference between Zhang Danshan and the Emperor of the Fire Yuan Kingdom seemed to be only one layer, but if the two were to fight, Zhang Danshan would definitely be defeated in less than dozens of rounds. The gap between them was not just that one layer.

Because just that one layer of cultivation, the time and heaven-defying materials consumed, were enough to cultivate dozens of Nascent Soul Stage experts.

So Xu Que's mood was not particularly bright now. He had killed so many people across levels before, but in fact, they were all small fries. If he really encountered an Infant Transformation Stage expert, he wouldn't have a single chance of winning.

"Sigh, melancholy!"

Xu Que sighed to the sky and continued to move forward.

Before long, he climbed over a mountain and arrived at the foot of the mountain, where a small teahouse appeared not far ahead.

Because this road was a main road and the area for thousands of miles was relatively desolate, whether it was cultivators or mortals, as long as they passed by, they would generally rest here.

When Xu Que walked over, there were only a few mortals sitting in the teahouse, seemingly having arrived not long ago, and the waiter was busy pouring tea and water for them.

"Waiter, bring me a bottle of Sprite!" Xu Que found an empty table, sat down, and shouted.

The waiter was instantly stunned: "This guest, Sprite... what is Sprite? Our small shop doesn't have it!"

"Then what do you have?" Xu Que asked.

At the same time, his eyes lit up. Originally, he just wanted to make a small joke with the waiter, but as soon as he said this, it reminded him that there was no Sprite or Cola in this world, and no beer. If he got a few bottles out in the future, wouldn't he be able to take them out to act cool?

"Guest, we have good tea, and some wine and dishes. Whatever you need, just order!" At this time, the waiter smiled honestly.

Xu Que had already fallen into the longing for acting cool in the future, nodded absent-mindedly and said, "Hmm, just bring a pot of tea!"

"Okay!" The waiter shouted and ran away.

Before long, a burst of dense footsteps suddenly came from afar, mixed with the rolling sound of carriage wheels.

The people in the teahouse were all attracted, turned their heads to look, and immediately started discussing in low voices.

"Ouch, this formation, it must be some high-ranking official or noble!"

"That's right, having been here for so long, this is the first time I've seen such an imposing team. Could it be from the Imperial Capital?"

"Imperial Capital what? Look clearly at the direction they are going. They are heading to the Imperial Capital. It might be an envoy from a neighboring country."

"No, no, look at the flag of our Fire Yuan Kingdom hanging on the carriage. How could it be an envoy from a neighboring country!"

"Then it must be an envoy from our Fire Yuan Kingdom returning from a neighboring country. Eh, stop talking, stop talking, let's drink..."

Xu Que was also looking at the team passing by on the main road. The formation was indeed not simple. It was a team of about 200 people, and among them, there were actually more than 100 cultivators, ranging from the Core Formation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, which was very powerful.

Some of them were riding horses, and some were walking, but they were all guarding the luxuriously decorated carriage in the center of the team.

Although the carriage was completely sealed, Xu Que could still sense that there were two people sitting inside, and their cultivation was both at the Golden Core Stage!

What kind of person had such a precious identity, actually using such a large formation, and even Nascent Soul Stage experts could only guard outside the carriage!

Xu Que was suspicious, but he was too lazy to think too much. He shook his head slightly, picked up the hot tea just sent by the waiter, and drank it slowly.

In the carriage passing through the small teahouse, two stunning and extraordinary women were sitting.

Among them, the woman wearing plain jade brocade clothes had black hair hanging over her shoulders, a jade hairpin inserted diagonally, and a faint smile always hanging on her exquisite and sweet little face. Her temperament was like an orchid, and her beautiful eyes revealed a kind of quiet elegance, like a peony flower that was pleasing to the eye!

Beside her, the other woman was even more stunning. Her black hair was coiled high, her skin was like grease, and her fair-as-snow face seemed to have condensed ten thousand years of unmelted ice. Her eyes had a kind of strong, high-and-mighty look of looking down on everything. Clearly, she was an ice beauty with great power!

The plain-clothed woman was looking at the ice beauty with a smile and said softly, "My Princess, who made you angry again? Since returning to the Fire Yuan Kingdom, you have been keeping your face tight. Be careful of getting wrinkles."

If Xu Que were in the carriage at this moment and saw the ice beauty, he would definitely have slapped her with the Black Heavy Ruler.

That's right, because she was the only Princess of the Fire Yuan Kingdom, Ji Wanqing, titled Princess Yan Yang!

This familiar face was definitely the one Xu Que was most familiar with. In his memory, she was the one who had ** with the owner of this face, until all his cultivation was sucked away, and he was thrown to this distant border.

But the temperament of this Princess now, if Xu Que could see it, would definitely be surprised again, because in his impression, Princess Yan Yang was not so cold, but belonged to the type of being small and bird-like!

"Zi Xuan, do you remember Xu Que?" Princess Yan Yang looked at the plain-clothed woman and asked calmly.

"Xu Que?" The plain-clothed woman was stunned, blinked her beautiful eyes, and nodded: "I remember. Since we entered the border, almost all the rumors along the way have been about that Xu Que. But these rumors are too exaggerated. A Golden Core Stage cultivator can actually kill in front of an Infant Transformation Stage expert, and killed a Nascent Soul Stage Elder, and finally escaped safely. I can be sure that there must be exaggerated components in this."

"No." Princess Yan Yang shook her head slightly, her expressionless face said: "I'm talking about another Xu Que, the one from six years ago!"

Upon hearing this, the plain-clothed woman was full of confusion. After thinking for a long while, she suddenly opened her small mouth, as if she had remembered something, and said with infinite surprise: "You mean the one who was recruited into the palace by the Fire Emperor to be the Prince Consort six years ago? I remember now, that's right, that fake Prince Consort was also called Xu Que. How is he now?"

"Dead." Princess Yan Yang said indifferently. ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
