Chapter 746

Leaving the battlefield, Xu Que returned once again to the inn in the ancient city near the frontier.

When he left during the day, he was at the eighth layer of the Void Refinement Stage; returning at night, he was still at the peak of the Void Refinement Stage.

No matter how mentally prepared Jiang Hongyan was, she couldn't help but feel shocked by his speed of advancement.

Fortunately, she could also see that while Xu Que's realm was climbing rapidly, his foundation was extremely solid; he would never become one of those "pill-poppers" who had the realm but lacked the strength!

"Little girl, I won't go to the battlefield tomorrow; I'm preparing to start my sprint toward the Body Integration Stage!" As soon as Xu Que entered the room, he flopped onto the bed, looking quite content.

As long as he could step into the Body Integration Stage, he could at least be fearless against the Great Vehicle Stage; then he could play however he wanted!

Of course, the most important thing was to help Jiang Hongyan snatch the Dao Fruit Tree from the Imperial Palace and retrieve that strand of her soul; otherwise, once the Holy Emperor stepped into the Immortal Realm, something big would likely happen!

So, although Xu Que seemed relaxed now, he didn't dare to let his guard down for even a moment!

While lying on the bed, he had already begun to recover his Dao Rhyme.

He knew that although these three days were short, his successive big moves were enough to attract the attention of many people.

For example, the Divine Son Camp, for example, that commander Qin Wei, and for example, the Holy Emperor who had never appeared but seemed to be able to perceive everything they did!

"Rest well, I'll guard you tomorrow!" Jiang Hongyan walked over holding a damp towel.

She was still as ethereal and graceful as ever, with a faint smile on her beautiful face, carefully and gently wiping the sweat from Xu Que's face!

After all, having been through a battle and then traveling, Xu Que was covered in dust, but Jiang Hongyan's subtle gesture made him feel much more comfortable and relaxed; his thoughts cleared, and his speed of recovering Dao Rhyme invisibly quickened a little!

Soon, the night grew deep!

Jiang Hongyan had already sat back down on the cushion and entered a meditative state again; her calm aura filled the entire room with a faint, delicate fragrance!

It wasn't until the second half of the night that Xu Que suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

He frowned and scanned directly outside the room door.

After stepping into the peak of the Void Refinement Stage, his Divine Sense and other aspects had become powerful, and he instantly sensed several auras approaching. One of the auras was extremely powerful; even before it got close, it already made people feel a sense of difficulty in breathing.

"Great Vehicle Stage?" Xu Que's frown deepened.

At a time like this, there were only two people who would come to visit at the Great Vehicle Stage: either that commander Qin Wei or the Holy Emperor!

However, Xu Que believed the former was more likely, because if the Holy Emperor were coming, the aura would likely be even more overbearing!

"Little guy, we have to leave!" Jiang Hongyan opened her eyes at some point and said calmly.

Xu Que raised the corners of his mouth and stood up, saying, "We definitely have to leave, but before we go, I have to collect some interest so they don't think an honest man like me, who happens to be handsome, is easy to bully!"

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive aura suddenly surged in from outside the inn.

Following that, only a few muffled sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and several figures suddenly landed outside the door.

"Li Bai of the Zha Tian Bang, the commander has ordered you to come out and meet him!" A voice rang out from outside the door.

Immediately after, with a "bang," the door was instantly blown open by a huge force, and a dozen figures appeared before Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan.

These dozen or so people were all young in appearance, both men and women, and all had reached the Tribulation Transcendence Stage; they were very powerful.

They all carried a sense of arrogance, a feeling of superiority as if they looked down on everything, and their cold eyes stared straight at Xu Que, aggressive and overbearing!

It seemed that as long as Xu Que refused to go out to see the commander, they would strike without hesitation.

However, facing this situation, Xu Que was at his happiest.

The opportunity to act cool had arrived again!

"Yo, why are you three here again, and you brought so many people? Could it be that my handsome face attracts your attention that much?" Xu Que asked with a roguish smile.

Among these dozen people, the man in the red shirt, the man in the green clothes, and the masked man were all there; they were exactly the three people he had angered and driven away last night!

"Hehe, Li Bai, at this point, your glib tongue is useless. Daring to destroy the token of our Divine Son Camp is a crime that cannot be pardoned. The commander has personally sent us to settle the score with you!" the man in the red shirt laughed coldly.

"Ah? What?" Xu Que looked stunned for a moment, then blinked his big eyes innocently and said, "I destroyed your Divine Son Camp token? Fellow Daoist, you look like you're joking, don't talk nonsense. I haven't even seen a Divine Son Camp token, how could I have destroyed it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, combined with his confused and innocent expression, the dozen young men and women of the Divine Son Camp were momentarily stunned.

Only the man in the red shirt, the man in the green clothes, and the masked man instantly widened their eyes.

What's going on?

Has this guy lost his memory?

He just destroyed the token last night, and now he doesn't remember it?

Just then, Xu Que suddenly looked excited and pleasantly surprised, saying, "Wait, does that mean you are all here to invite me to join the Divine Son Camp? Wow, that's great! Do you know? I've always admired the Divine Son Camp and dreamed of joining! Quick, quick, take me to see the commander!"

What?

In an instant, the three men in the red shirt were dumbfounded on the spot.

What does this guy want to do?

Damn it, playing the frame-up game?

"Li Bai, you... what do you mean?"

"I'm warning you, don't play dumb here!"

"When we came to invite you last night, you clearly insulted our Divine Son Camp and destroyed the token! Now you want to play dumb?"

The three men in the red shirt hurriedly shouted sternly.

They were determined not to take the blame for this, and they didn't dare to!

Moreover, they never expected that Xu Que, who was arrogant and tough last night, would play such a dirty trick tonight, acting dumb and trying to frame the three of them.

If the commander believed Xu Que, then the three of them would be finished; at the very least, they wouldn't escape a terrible punishment!

"Uh, three fellow Daoists, what... what are you talking about? When you came over last night, you clearly told me not to be too flashy on the battlefield, otherwise... otherwise you would... I've been worried and scared all day!" Xu Que said, clutching his chest tightly with his hand, looking at them pitifully with his innocent, big eyes.

In an instant, the gazes of the dozen or so people from the Divine Son Camp swept toward the three men in the red shirt.

The man in the red shirt became anxious and shouted angrily, "Don't believe this kid, he's framing us!"

"You... how can you say that about me?" Xu Que looked like a wronged little boy, pointing at the man in the red shirt, looking aggrieved.

"Damn it!" The man in the green clothes could no longer stand Xu Que's disgusting expression and roared on the spot, wanting to rush up and hit him!

"Enough!"

Just then, among the dozen or so people, a tall young woman suddenly said coldly.

Immediately, the man in the green clothes and the man in the red shirt stopped.

The tall woman scanned Xu Que with cold eyes and said expressionlessly, "Whether you are framing them or they are framing you, it doesn't matter! Tonight we are here to make you walk out this door and meet the commander! However..."

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, a hint of mockery and disdain flashing in her eyes, and continued, "However, before that, we'd like to see what qualifications a mere Void Refinement Stage cultivator like you has to join the Divine Son Camp!"

"I... I..." Xu Que's face suddenly showed full panic, and he couldn't help but step back, saying self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I don't know either, besides being handsome... what else could I possibly have to join the Divine Son Camp!"

Seeing his performance, the dozen young men and women showed even more disdain, and a mocking arc appeared on the tall woman's lips.

"Is this enough?"

At this moment, Xu Que suddenly looked up and asked.

Following that, he waved his hand!

Behind the dozen young men and women, a figure with snow-white silver hair appeared out of nowhere; it was Xu Que's Dao Body!

Whoosh!

The Dao Body swung the black staff it held high; under the moonlight, the black staff also emitted a strange light!

【The second update is here! Wow, it was so hard to write, but I have to overcome myself; there are still two chapters left! Charge!】
