Chapter 591

Xu Que's angry shout instantly echoed all around.

Everyone on the scene was stunned, and even Duan Jiude stopped fleeing, looking up at Xu Que in astonishment.

Some Saint Sons and Saintesses felt their scalps go numb and were very ashamed!

What does this Xu Que mean? Of all people to fuck, he actually said he would fuck Duan Jiude's master. Duan Jiude is already so old, his master is most likely an old hag too!

Why is his taste so heavy?

"Damn, kid, you're finished!"

Duan Jiude jumped up from the ground in excitement, pointing at Xu Que with one hand while shouting at the mountain: "Master, Master, it's this kid! It's him who forced me to break the restriction. If you have any grudges, go find him."

"Noisy!"

A female voice suddenly sounded in Duan Jiude's ear. Following that, Duan Jiude was directly crushed by a vast force, slapped down from the air, and suppressed on the spot, unable to move.

"Ah... Master, you... please show mercy. It was hard enough for this old man to live until today, why are you hitting me so hard!" Duan Jiude wailed, shouting with a mournful face.

Everyone present felt their eyelids twitch. What exactly is wrong with Duan Jiude?

For so many years, he had been notorious and had never been this miserable. Could he really have been suppressed by his so-called master?

Even Liu Jingning was stunned, whispering suspiciously: "Could this Senior Duan have gone mad?"

After all, in their eyes, they could only see Duan Jiude shouting and running around from beginning to end, and now struggling on the spot like a madman performing a one-man show. They hadn't perceived any real expert present at all!

Only Xu Que raised his eyebrows, knowing the truth, so he remained silent and tugged at Liu Jingning's clothes, signaling her not to talk nonsense, while also urging her to leave quickly.

He hadn't been able to hold back and dropped another harsh threat just now; if that woman in the Daoist robe really came out later, he would be in tragedy.

And at this moment, Duan Jiude also slowly fell silent, no longer howling, his lips moving from time to time, as if he were transmitting sound to someone.

"Master, you... are you saying that the shackles of the four continents are about to be broken?" Duan Jiude's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Not bad. My soul has been condensing faster recently, and I have already sensed the changes in the rules of heaven and earth. This area will soon open, and by then, the Nine Great Forbidden Lands and this secret realm will become places contested by many."

"This is a good thing. No wonder the younger generation of this era has progressed so fast in cultivation. It turns out the rules of heaven and earth have changed, and their Dao Rhyme is no longer as flawed as before. When the shackles are broken in the future, it will be another golden age!" Duan Jiude's face showed joy.

But an indifferent, cold voice immediately came to his ear: "This change in the area, who knows if it's a blessing or a curse? Don't be happy too soon! Many old monsters are about to wake up, not to mention people from other continents who will soon set foot in this area. However, you haven't been bad all these years; being in a place of shackles, your cultivation progress has exceeded my expectations!"

"Sigh, Master, you don't know how miserable I've been all these years. I've been eating wind and drinking dew every day, drifting from place to place, being bullied wherever I go, living very painfully! But having said that, I really have to thank that Xu Que for my cultivation progress!"

Duan Jiude sighed pretentiously, but when mentioning Xu Que's burger, there was a bit more gratitude in his tone.

But soon, a cold snort came to his ear: "Hmph, he is just like you, a person of poor character. If it weren't for the fact that you were once my disciple, I would have suppressed and killed you long ago. Now you still dare to plead for that shameless scoundrel?"

"Master, I'm wronged! Actually, I've long found that kid an eyesore, but his methods are indeed extraordinary. I just ate a piece of meat he fried and put in a bun, and after eating it, I actually improved a small cultivation realm instantly!"

"There's such a strange thing?"

"Yes, Master, how would I dare lie to you! But that kid is very wicked. Master, if you deal with him, you must be careful not to suffer a big loss. I don't want to really call him Master's Husband!"

"Presumptuous!"

"Ouch, ouch, Master, calm down, calm down, I was wrong, I was wrong, my mouth is cheap!"

"Hmph, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will definitely suppress and kill you!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Duan Jiude immediately became honest, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. No matter how strong he was, in front of his master, he was ultimately like an ant.

"That Xu Que is young but has a corrupt character; he is a shameless scoundrel. I originally asked you to find him because I wanted to suppress and kill him to remove a scourge! But since you say his methods are extraordinary, I will spare his life for now!"

"No, Master, that kid is worth killing!"

"No need to say more. Before I come out, you follow him. In the future, he might be of use to me! Withdraw!"

"Holy crap, don't be like this! Master, Master, change your mind, that kid is useless!" Duan Jiude hurriedly transmitted sound and shouted.

However, the mountain was silent, and there was no reply!

Duan Jiude's entire old face collapsed immediately. He understood his master's meaning: asking him to follow Xu Que, besides monitoring Xu Que, was also to protect Xu Que—at least until his master came out, he had to ensure Xu Que didn't die!

For Duan Jiude, who was used to wandering everywhere, this was simply a nightmare that cost him his freedom.

Thinking of this, Duan Jiude felt a surge of anger, suddenly looked up and glared at Xu Que, and cursed: "Damn it, kid, come down! This old man wants to fight you to the death. Why did you go and provoke my master for no reason?"

"None of your business!" Xu Que rolled his eyes and retorted directly, then immediately looked at Liu Jingning and whispered: "Let's go!"

Liu Jingning didn't ask any more questions, pinched the magic formula, and the black mist under her feet carried Xu Que and Er Gouzi, flying straight into the distance.

"Fuck, kid, you caused trouble and want to just walk away? Now that you've caused this old man to lose his freedom, what do you say we do?" Duan Jiude immediately chased after them, shouting from behind.

"None of my business!" Xu Que responded lightly.

Duan Jiude was instantly furious: "If it's not your business, whose business is it? You fucker, get down here!"

"I fuck your master! I'm not coming down, what can you do?"

"Damn it, do you have no shame?" Duan Jiude's nose was crooked with anger.

However, he no longer dared to touch Xu Que and instead had to protect him well, which made him very unhappy.

"Little guy, what exactly is going on?" Liu Jingning looked at Xu Que while hurrying on the road.

Duan Jiude's master suddenly appearing made her very puzzled and curious.

Xu Que looked aggrieved and sighed: "Sigh, it was just to help you get the Human-Shaped Fruit, I accidentally caused a big disaster, offended a ruthless person, and almost lost my life in there!"

"That ruthless person is Duan Jiude's master?" Liu Jingning asked in surprise, shocked in her heart.

Xu Que's words confirmed to her that Duan Jiude hadn't been acting crazy just now, but had really met his master!

"Yes! I accidentally said the wrong thing and also snatched her spirit herbs, so she chased me down. Fortunately, I was witty enough to escape; otherwise, you probably wouldn't see me anymore!" Xu Que sighed, a trace of bitterness flashing across his face.

Liu Jingning was stunned.

Originally, she thought Xu Que had simply gone in to get the Human-Shaped Fruit and come out, but she didn't expect he had risked his life to bring it out.

For a moment, Liu Jingning felt a bit moved in her heart.

"Little guy, thank you!" She looked at Xu Que and thanked him sincerely.

"Sigh, it's nothing!" Xu Que waved his hand, as if he had only done a small favor, but in fact, he was feeling guilty.

After all, he was the one who provoked the woman in the Daoist robe first; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so miserable.

But this performance of his made Liu Jingning feel even more guilty.

All along, Liu Jingning had felt that Xu Que was a young, frivolous, and reckless person. If it weren't for his powerful strength, he would have been killed long ago.

But she didn't expect that she had only suggested wanting a Human-Shaped Fruit, and Xu Que had risked his life to bring it out without saying much afterward.

If she hadn't asked this time, she probably wouldn't have known that Xu Que had experienced such a dangerous thing and had escaped from the hands of Duan Jiude's master.

This made Liu Jingning feel a bit of secret affection besides gratitude.

But as soon as she thought that Xu Que was only a twenty-year-old kid, this feeling was immediately discarded by her.

The Dao companion in her mind was not someone with Xu Que's jumpy personality.

She hoped that one day in the future, she could meet a gentle man who had enough powerful ability to protect her, could be bullied by her, and after growing old, could stay with her, live in seclusion, and quietly be a pair of immortal couples.

It's just that she didn't even realize herself that she had long regarded Xu Que as the person in her heart, which was why she couldn't help but tease Xu Que from time to time, feeling happy when she saw his frustrated face.

Xu Que also didn't know that the low-key behavior he showed because of his guilt had invisibly touched Liu Jingning's heart.

A few days later, the group finally arrived at the depths of the central area of the first layer of the secret realm and stopped in front of a vast ocean!

The entire ocean was completely tilted upward, with no end in sight, and the sea surface was not calm either, with surging waves rolling up layer after layer, flowing upward.

"Is this the Reverse Current Sea?" Xu Que exclaimed after seeing it with his own eyes.

This kind of spectacle was the first time he had witnessed it in his life. If Newton could see this, he would probably be so angry he'd lift his coffin lid.

And at this moment, countless cultivators had already gathered by the seaside, a sea of people. People from all four continents were almost concentrated here, and every force had prepared many large ships, which were being repaired, seemingly wanting to go out to sea!

"Holy crap, how did this place become like this?" Er Gouzi looked shocked, its two eyes widened like lanterns.

Liu Jingning shook her head: "No one knows the reason, but ever since this place turned into a sea area, major forces have never been able to ascend to the third layer. However, eighteen small islands appeared in the sea area, each with a Tree of Life. Every hundred years, a pool of Holy Water of Life condenses under the tree, which can be used to refine pills and dharma treasures. If taken directly, it can even bring the dead back to life and instantly recover injuries!

It's just that the amount of Holy Water of Life is really limited and cannot satisfy everyone, so major forces have listed this as a place for competition, distributing the Holy Water of Life according to the rankings!"

Speaking of this, a trace of worry flashed across Liu Jingning's face. This time, their Bliss Sect was also participating, but their strength was clearly not as good as other forces, so it was probably difficult to gain anything!

However, Xu Que had already frozen on the spot, his heart filled with irrepressible excitement.

Holy Water of Life!

Originally, he was at his wit's end, not knowing where to find this thing, but it turned out he was so lucky that it was delivered to his door.

Now that the five Primordial Spirit Grasses were gathered, as long as he obtained this Holy Water of Life, he could refine the Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Liquid, bring Xiao Rou back to life, reshape her physical body, and possibly even make her a Chaotic Five Elements Body!

"Let's go, let's go to sea!" Xu Que clenched his fists and said.
