Chapter 483: Concerned for the Common People of the World
As soon as Xu Que's words fell, the Geoduck couldn't utter a single word!
At this moment, it realized it had done a stupid thing!
Originally, it could have used the power of its clan to threaten Xu Que and the others, making everyone fearful and not dare to really take action against it!
Xu Que had also been worrying that if he couldn't find the location of the Geoduck clan and couldn't raid their home, it would be leaving a major disaster for everyone on the Five Elements Mountain!
But now, in order to save itself, this Geoduck had accidentally revealed a piece of information, which Xu Que had captured very sensitively!
Its words exposed that the people in its clan didn't know about this place, and perhaps didn't even know that it and the other Sea Race members were on the Five Elements Mountain.
In fact, this was exactly the case. The few of them had originally come out to play, but accidentally went too far and encountered a storm on the Endless Sea, which brought them to the Five Elements Mountain.
So, not only did their clansmen not know they were on the Five Elements Mountain, but even these few Sea Race members would have to spend time finding their way back!
"No, wait, I didn't say that! I said it wrong, there are people in my clan who know we came to the Five Elements Mountain, you can't kill me!" The Geoduck panicked completely, lost its confidence, and hurriedly changed its words.
However, Xu Que had already seen through everything. He looked at it with a smile and shook his head: "Actually, even if people in your clan knew you were here, I would still kill you without hesitation! At most, my Exploding Heaven Gang will spend a bit more time to kill all the Geoducks in the sea, and then there will be no future trouble!"
"You... you still want to exterminate my clan?" The Geoduck was instantly shocked.
It never expected Xu Que to be so bold as to have the intention of exterminating their clan.
"That is impossible. My clan has two elders at the Infant Transformation Stage, and even an ancestor at the Body Integration Stage. Although he has been in closed-door cultivation for many years, if you dare to offend, the ancestor will surely come out of cultivation!" the Geoduck said.
Xu Que was speechless after hearing this!
Two at the Infant Transformation Stage, plus one at the Body Integration Stage?
Damn, I couldn't tell that this Geoduck clan was actually so powerful!
But this also confirmed Xu Que's previous guess: there were countless overseas experts, and this place, the Five Elements Mountain, couldn't compare at all!
The Five Elements Mountain hadn't seen an Infant Transformation Stage expert for too many years, let alone the Body Integration Stage.
It was no wonder these Sea Race members looked down on the cultivators of the Five Elements Mountain after coming here!
"If you are willing to let me go, I can choose not to pursue this, and I won't come back to disturb you in the future!" At this moment, the Geoduck spoke again, giving a promise.
Many people in the arena were shaken!
Upon hearing that there was an expert at the Body Integration Stage in the Geoduck clan, everyone was shocked, and when they heard there was also an ancestor at the Body Integration Stage, they were so scared they couldn't say a word!
They had only heard of legendary Body Integration Stage experts in rumors and had never even had the chance to see one.
If such a terrifying existence came to take revenge on the five kingdoms, wouldn't it be able to destroy the five kingdoms in one move?
"Young Master Li Bai, should... should we let him go?" At this moment, the general of the Imperial Guards couldn't help but step forward to persuade, as they really couldn't afford to provoke such a powerful enemy.
Even the alien races present were filled with worry and were shaken.
The Geoduck was also very good at seizing the opportunity and immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Don't worry, I already know that there are countless experts on the Five Elements Mountain. After leaving this time, I will definitely not set foot here again. I can swear an oath with my heart demon!"
These words carried great weight. Being able to swear an oath with a heart demon instantly swept away the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Many people began to whisper, their voices very faint.
But Xu Que could still hear what they were saying, which was nothing more than agreeing to let the Geoduck leave.
"I will swear now, if you let me leave, I will absolutely not set foot on the Five Elements Mountain again!" The Geoduck immediately made the vow, and it was indeed an oath sworn with a heart demon.
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Xu Que!
After all, the only person present who could control the Geoduck's life and death was Xu Que.
"Young Master Li Bai, this relates to the life and death of everyone in the five kingdoms, you must not be impulsive!" The general of the Imperial Guards transmitted his voice to Xu Que cautiously, his expression incomparably sincere.
Lady Ya looked at Xu Que calmly and said softly: "Young Master Li, you make the decision, this concubine will definitely support you!"
Su Ling'er also walked out and said: "Young Master Li, since Sun Wukong is not here, you make the decision!"
"Hmm!"
Xu Que nodded very calmly.
But his expression was very strange; he looked indifferent, but in reality, he had been smiling, staring at the Geoduck with a smile that wasn't quite a smile!
Everyone in the arena was instantly uneasy. Could it be... could it be that he still wanted to kill this Geoduck?
This would harm everyone in the five kingdoms!
"Although I really want to kill it, I also know that everyone wants me to let it go, because this relates to the lives of countless people in the five kingdoms! So, for the sake of the common people of the world, I can agree to let it go!"
After Xu Que finished speaking, everyone in the arena was stunned.
What was going on?
Young Master Li actually agreed?
God! The sun must have risen from the west; Young Master Li Bai is actually so understanding of the greater good and agreed to let the Geoduck leave!
"Thank you, Young Master Li Bai!"
"Young Master Li is truly a good person, concerned for the common people of the world!"
Many people were moved beyond words and also let out a long sigh of relief, as if they had been reborn!
Finally, the Geoduck slowly stood up and, under the gaze of everyone, left the Imperial Palace step by step and walked out of the Imperial City!
But everyone's eyes were still focused on Xu Que, fearing he would go back on his word and suddenly go to snipe the Geoduck!
"Dizzy, don't look at me like that. I'm different from the others in the Exploding Heaven Gang! I always keep my word. Since I said I'd let it go, I will absolutely let it go!" Xu Que said with a speechless expression, righteous and stern.
"Uh, Young Master Li, don't misunderstand, we didn't mean that!"
"That's right, we definitely believe in Young Master Li's character!" Everyone immediately laughed awkwardly.
However, no matter how they calculated, they couldn't have imagined that Xu Que had long ago secretly summoned his Thunder Illusion Body, sneaking all the way, following the Geoduck as it left.
And at this time, after the Geoduck left the Imperial City, it immediately took out a pill as crystalline as a pearl, swallowed it directly, and immediately manifested into human form, its face pale.
"Hmph, a bunch of stupid trash, in the end, didn't you still have to obediently let this young master go?" It snorted coldly, quickly digesting the pearl-like pill, its injuries slowly recovering.
Afterward, it also looked around vigilantly, its figure suddenly flickered, sweeping forward, and a cold smile appeared on its face!
"This young master swore an oath with a heart demon not to set foot on the Five Elements Mountain again, but I didn't say I wouldn't send people over. Five Elements Mountain, this young master wants you to become a mountain of no people! When I return to my clan, I will definitely use all of your blood to wash away the humiliation I suffered today!"
It moved away from the Imperial City and began to vent its inner grievances and anger without restraint.
"Boom—!"
But just then, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared before its eyes, striking down straight.
"Bang!"
Although the Geoduck had recovered some injuries and could barely travel, it couldn't dodge this lightning at all and was struck instantly, its body smashing into the ground, falling very miserably.
"A bolt from the blue? What's going on? Who is plotting against this young master?" The Geoduck immediately climbed up from the ground, blood spilling from the corner of its mouth, looking around with a solemn face!
"It's a pity, we meet again!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind the Geoduck.
"What?" The Geoduck's face changed drastically, and it suddenly turned its head to look.
It saw a familiar face appearing behind it, still with a full face of cheeky smiles. It was precisely Xu Que's Thunder Illusion Body, and still in Li Bai's guise!
In an instant, the expression on the Geoduck's face froze completely.
Because a sharp sword, who knew when, had already pierced through its heart, and blood was dripping down the tip of the sword, drop by drop!
At the same time, Xu Que's true form also remained in Li Bai's guise, sitting in a temporarily built sleeping palace, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but lift a smile.
The actions of the Thunder Illusion Body were entirely controlled by his divine soul power, so he knew everything like the back of his hand.
He had long felt that this Geoduck would definitely retaliate, but it wasn't easy to kill it in front of everyone, so he deliberately arranged this scene.
The result was as he had expected: this Geoduck was full of hatred and wanted to send people over to kill after returning. Fortunately, this major trouble had now been solved by his Thunder Illusion Body, and it had even been dragged to the wilderness to feed the wild dogs!
"Young Master Li, what are you smiling at?" At this moment, a soft, delicate, and charming voice came from Xu Que's ear.
Xu Que then came back to his senses, almost forgetting that he was sharing a room with Lady Ya.
Immediately, he reached out to wrap his arms around Lady Ya's willow waist and smiled: "I was thinking of the scene of reciting poetry with you under the moonlight, and I couldn't help but feel joy from my heart!"
A blush appeared on Lady Ya's face, autumn ripples appeared in her eyes, and she said charmingly: "This concubine also misses that time very much. I wonder if Young Master Li can stay tonight and compose poetry with this concubine again?"
"No poetry tonight, I want to teach you a martial art!" Xu Que smiled.
Lady Ya was stunned: "What martial art does Young Master Li want to teach this concubine?"
