Chapter 649: Brother Que, Where Is Your Integrity?
When Xu Que took Jiang Hongyan to stroll through a few ancient cities, he had already heard these words from the outside world!
Invite me to a battle outside the Buried Immortal Valley, otherwise bloodbath the Eastern Wasteland?
Xu Que's first reaction was a cold sneer. Now that he was in his peak state and had saved up over eighty thousand Acting Cool Points, killing a few half-step Tribulation Transcendence experts was absolutely no pressure!
Even if he ran out of Dao Rhyme halfway through, he could continue to run away and come back to kill them in a few days!
However, before Jiang Hongyan recovered her memory, he didn't intend to show his face, to prevent any accidents or the other side using a diversionary tactic to take Jiang Hongyan away!
And after getting in touch for the past few days, Xu Que felt bitter in his heart because all his flirting techniques were useless on Jiang Hongyan!
When it rained and he wanted to take off his clothes to shield her from the rain, she just waved her hand, and True Essence surged out, not a single drop of rain touching her body!
There were no carriages recklessly rushing on the road, and no little thugs daring to come up and cause trouble. Xu Que couldn't even perform the most cliché hero saving the beauty!
In the end, after a few days, the relationship between the two had no substantial development!
Xu Que also figured out the function of the Fate Red Rope. It actually increased the fate between the two, giving them opportunities to interact with each other. It was like two people who were strangers with no intersection; if they used the Fate Red Rope, they could interact and get to know each other because of a thread of fate, that's all!
The rest ultimately depended on one's own efforts. If you couldn't move the other person, a hundred Fate Red Ropes would be useless!
Obviously, whether Jiang Hongyan had amnesia or not, she wasn't someone who could be easily flirted with by just anyone!
Xu Que's first impression of her was absolutely correct: this was a woman only an immortal could touch. Now that she had amnesia, she might have already risen to the same level as Zixia Fairy!
"Sigh, looking back now, I really need to thank the Juling Tower of the Fragrant Sky Valley!" Xu Que sighed inwardly!
If it weren't for that mysterious contact with Jiang Hongyan at the Juling Tower, he would probably have completely lost his intersection with her!
Now, the only thing he could do was guard her and wait for her to recover her memory so their relationship could return to the past!
So Xu Que didn't intend to do much more; everything would take its natural course!
But he certainly couldn't ignore the provocations of the outsiders!
That day, Xu Que shouted in an ancient city: "Tell those outsiders that I, a man of the Zha Tian Bang, have iron bones and steel, and I am responsible for my own actions. I will absolutely not implicate the people of the Eastern Wasteland! But what I'm worried about is that even after I go to see them, they will still bloodbath the Eastern Wasteland!"
These words quickly reached the ears of the powerful outsiders, and they responded: "Then what do you want?"
Xu Que responded in another ancient city: "Unless you swear by your heart demon that after I appear, you will not bloodbath the four continents!"
"Okay!"
The powerful outsiders agreed almost without hesitation!
Outside the Buried Immortal Valley, in front of countless Eastern Wasteland cultivators, they really swore by their heart demons that as long as Xu Que appeared and didn't run away, they would absolutely not bloodbath the four continents!
In fact, bloodbathing the four continents was a thankless task for them. If it wasn't necessary, they didn't want to do it at all!
Now, the only thing they wanted was to quickly receive Jiang Hongyan and return to report to their Saint Emperor!
That day, the news also reached Xu Que's ears through the mouths of Eastern Wasteland cultivators!
"Xu Que, they have already sworn. When are you going to keep your promise?"
"Xu Que, you must not trick us!"
"There are not only us cultivators living on the land of the Eastern Wasteland, but also countless innocent civilians. If you break your promise, what will happen to them?"
"Xu Que, go with peace of mind; the people of the Eastern Wasteland will always remember you!"
Many factions sent disciples everywhere to pressure Xu Que, hoping he would hurry up and go to his death!
Every time Xu Que arrived in an ancient city, he would receive the gaze of countless people, as if they were also asking him whether he was still going or not!
"What are you all in such a hurry for? I, Xu Que, have always kept my word. Wait for me; I will arrive outside the Buried Immortal Valley in two hours for a battle. It will be a fight to the death; whoever runs is a dog!" Xu Que finally spoke, incomparably domineering, shocking many people!
This made the situation increasingly confusing. Many people were already guessing whether Xu Que was trying to trick people again, whether he actually had the strength but just didn't want to show it, otherwise, with his style, it would be impossible for him to release such words that cut off his own retreat!
There were also many people who were very moved, and their impression of Xu Que changed!
"We misjudged him before. We thought he was a scoundrel like Duan Jiude, but when it truly involved innocent lives, he still stood out without hesitation!"
"Xu Que is truly a good person! Much better than many hypocrites who appear righteous!"
"And he has never tricked us either. Those who have been tricked by him were all people who took the initiative to provoke him!"
"Sigh, what a good young lad!"
"If we had discovered his merits earlier and given him a few more decades, he would have been the most powerful guardian of our four continents!"
"I'm in tears. These tears warn myself that I can't judge people by their appearance in the future! Xu Que is a treasure and talent of our four continents, but because of our short-sightedness, we are about to lose him!"
Many people were sighing with regret, and some sentimental people were even shedding tears for Xu Que's act of sacrifice!
Xu Que was very moved and responded: "If I don't go to hell, who will? If I die, remember to carry my ashes with you. If you encounter bad people, scatter them, and let me protect you one last time!"
That day, cultivators in many ancient cities gathered together spontaneously to see Xu Que off as he headed toward the Buried Immortal Valley!
They were full of respect, their eyes moist, incredibly moved, wanting to remember this young man who was guarding the Eastern Wasteland from being bloodbathed!
When Xu Que appeared outside the Buried Immortal Valley, countless people had already arrived, all wanting to witness this battle!
But several powerful outsiders were angry first!
Because Xu Que went alone and didn't bring Jiang Hongyan at all!
"Bastard, where have you hidden the Saint Venerable?" The half-step Tribulation Transcendence elder was unusually angry. They wanted Xu Que to come, but besides killing him to vent their anger, the most important thing was to take Jiang Hongyan away!
"You talk too much nonsense. Let's have a battle first!" Xu Que was too lazy to say more and chose to attack directly, his figure flickering as he rushed forward!
Several powerful outsiders' eyelids twitched, not daring to underestimate him, and they hurriedly unleashed their most powerful techniques!
Boom!
Instantly, all the techniques crashed onto Xu Que, triggering a loud noise!
Xu Que's figure exploded in the techniques and turned into nothingness!
The battle ended just like that!
The entire scene was instantly silent, and everyone was stunned!
"Is... is it gone just like that?"
"It was only the first round! Xu Que died just like that? Without even a corpse left?"
Many people were incredibly horrified and incredulous, after all, this was too different from what they had imagined!
However, this silence only lasted for less than a few breaths before the entire scene was filled with the angry roars of several powerful outsiders!
"Shameless!"
"He actually only sent a clone!"
"Xu Que, get the f*ck out here!"
"Ah! I'm so angry I'm going to bloodbath the Eastern Wasteland!"
"A clone?" Everyone reacted instantly, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood!
So after all that, that guy just sent a clone over?
This is too damn despicable, right?
A clone, and he had the nerve to act like he was going to sacrifice himself; he's simply shameless!
Tens of thousands of miles away in an ancient city, Xu Que had just returned from sightseeing with Jiang Hongyan and heard about the outcome of today's battle!
He smiled calmly at everyone: "Go tell them, they didn't say I couldn't send a clone over! And a clone also represents me. Now that I've been there once, I hope they can have some shame and honestly abide by their oath!"
Everyone's mouth twitched, their eyes rolled back, and they almost fainted!
Brother Que, where is your integrity?
You do this, and you still have the nerve to tell others to have some shame?
The next day, the powerful outsiders spoke: "Tell Xu Que to bring the Saint Venerable and come in person. We want him to kneel before us and die. The Saint Venerable is not someone an ant like him can look up to! If he doesn't do as we say, even if we have to pay the price of being backlashed by our heart demons, we will bloodbath the Eastern Wasteland! The first to face the slaughter will be the Bliss Sect, as well as a dog and Duan Jiude!"
This time, the threat from the powerful outsiders was serious and filled with intense anger and killing intent!
At the same time, Xu Que hadn't slept all night, guarding Jiang Hongyan's side, quietly watching her cultivate!
From the day he took Jiang Hongyan away, nearly half a month had passed, but the relationship between the two was still as plain as ever, strange yet familiar!
Xu Que didn't feel disappointed; he knew that once Jiang Hongyan recovered her memory, everything could return to the past!
"It's just... how long do I have to wait?" Xu Que sat on the side, shaking his head and sighing inwardly!
Although he could see hope, the waiting time was truly unbearable! Facing such a strange Jiang Hongyan, he felt that these ten-plus days were like years!
Boom!
At this moment, a majestic aura suddenly surged from Jiang Hongyan, who had been in a state of cultivation, rising into the sky!
Countless spiritual energy surrounded her whole body, turning into a brilliant radiance that enveloped her, graceful and luxurious, just like an Empress Divine Venerable!
The next moment, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened them, seeing Xu Que sitting beside her, looking melancholy and surprised.
A faint smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of tenderness, and her crimson lips parted slightly: "Little guy!"

【I didn't make it clear at the end of the last chapter; I'm not asking for tips and subscriptions again! All I've ever asked for is subscriptions! Some big shots might have misunderstood what I meant by subscriptions!
One dime per chapter, two dimes for two chapters, sometimes it's a few cents more if the word count is higher!
Anyway, only chapters purchased with book coins count toward subscriptions. Other free book vouchers or reading points don't work for the author. To summarize, anything obtained for free doesn't count toward subscriptions!
As for tips, I haven't asked for them for a long time! I'm satisfied if everyone can subscribe to the chapters. If there are rich people who are capable and want to reward me extra, then I won't be polite!
And this is the last time I'll talk about subscriptions in the chapters (unless subscriptions skyrocket and I need to add more updates). I feel like I've explained it very clearly. I hope the friends in the book review section won't stir up trouble anymore. Although I don't understand why they always like to pick out the non-key points in my words to make trouble, maybe their comprehension ability is poor? I don't want to talk more and affect everyone's reading in the future. Anyway, I can only mute those who stir up trouble!
Next, I will continue to adjust my mentality and focus on writing. I will have outbreaks when I'm in good condition! Thank you everyone! Mwah!】 ===== CHAPTER 650 =====
Next, I will continue to adjust my mindset and focus on writing; when I'm in a good state, I will have bursts of updates! Thank you all! Mwah!】
