Chapter 787: The Sage Palace Young Master Has Also Come [5500 Monthly Vote Extra Update]

Five days later, above the mountain valley.

Xu Que was carrying Er Gouzi in one hand, still traveling through the sky with Jiang Hongyan!

According to the route guidance on the animal skin map, they had been on the road for five days, but they hadn't seen a single figure, let alone Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes!

However, as they went deeper into the mountain valley, they were already very close to the location marked on the map where Zhang Tiandao was!

Naturally, the aura of some cultivators began to appear ahead. Although it was hidden very weakly, it still couldn't escape Xu Que's powerful Divine Sense!

He smiled slightly, dropped Er Gouzi, took a step forward, cupped his hands, and shouted: "Fellow Daoists, I am Xu Que of the Exploding Heaven Gang, here to rob you. I wonder if there are any fellow travelers here?"

In the cultivation world, a large group of people hiding by the roadside and concealing their presence was either waiting for an enemy or blocking the road to rob and kill for treasures.

Xu Que was clear that the dozens of auras ahead were all unfamiliar, so they shouldn't be people he had grudges with. Therefore, these people were eight or nine times out of ten here to block the road and rob.

It was just that after he shouted like this, that group of people simply couldn't be bothered to hide anymore and darted out one after another.

In an instant, several groups of people with different outfits appeared in front of Xu Que.

It was obvious that these dozens of people were not from the same group. Judging from their standing positions, they seemed to be divided into three parties.

One party consisted entirely of young, beautiful women dressed in white robes and skirts.

Another party was a combination of men and women, who looked like scattered cultivators based on their attire.

And there was another party of demon beast clans. Although they had transformed into human form, their aura couldn't be changed, so it wasn't difficult to distinguish that there were snake clans, tiger clans, etc., inside.

"They are not people from the Imperial Palace or the Sage Palace!" At this moment, Jiang Hongyan spoke softly, transmitting her voice to Xu Que, "Those women in white should be from the Lingxiu Pavilion, which is considered a medium-sized force on the Xuanzhen Continent!"

"It seems there are quite a few people eyeing this place, actually able to arrive earlier than us!" Xu Que smiled.

Logically speaking, he and Jiang Hongyan were already considered the fastest, but now so many people had rushed here ahead of time, clearly they had already been hiding on the mountain peaks observing before, and as soon as they saw the Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes fly away, they immediately rushed in.

"Hmph, this Fellow Daoist, did you just say you came to rob? I wonder who you want to rob?" At this moment, a handsome-looking sword cultivator walked out, wearing a playful smile.

He was wearing a Daoist robe but was mixed in with a group of scattered cultivators, and his cultivation was the highest among them, actually having reached the sixth layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

However, although he was talking to Xu Que at this moment, his eyes had been fixed on Jiang Hongyan.

With Jiang Hongyan's beauty, if she hadn't disguised herself, she would truly be the most eye-catching existence wherever she went.

"Holy Venerable?" Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the group of women from the Lingxiu Pavilion.

Afterward, a tall woman in white walked out with a look of shock and suspicion, looking at Jiang Hongyan in astonishment.

Jiang Hongyan smiled faintly, dignified and grand. Before she could speak, that woman and the rest of the women from the Lingxiu Pavilion quickly confirmed their guess.

"Disciples of the Lingxiu Pavilion, pay respects to the Holy Venerable!" Immediately, dozens of women bowed and shouted in unison.

"No need for formalities!" Jiang Hongyan smiled slightly and said calmly.

The entire scene was instantly silent, without a sound.

That sword cultivator man was dumbfounded on the spot, and the scattered cultivators behind him were also full of horror, never having expected that this woman in front of them would be the Empress who had been missing for hundreds of years!

But that's not right!

Before the Empress went into closed-door cultivation back then, she was already at the Great Vehicle Stage. How did she become a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator and enter the Heaven Ascension Road now?

In an instant, many people became suspicious again.

Including the other party of demon beast clans, they also looked at Jiang Hongyan curiously.

This Empress was very famous back then, even they, the demon beasts, had heard of her and had seen her from afar.

So at this moment, even if everyone was suspicious that her cultivation had become lower, they were very certain in their hearts that this dignified woman in front of them was that Empress.

"This brother, what did you just ask me? Robbing someone, right?" At this moment, Xu Que stood out and looked at the sword cultivator man with a smile.

The sword cultivator man's expression stiffened instantly, and he lowered his head. In front of the Empress, he didn't dare to look around, let alone speak recklessly, for fear of bringing trouble upon himself.

But the rest of the people were secretly happy, with expressions of schadenfreude on their faces, including that group of scattered cultivators, some of whom also raised the corners of their mouths, clearly very happy to see him fall into such an awkward situation.

But just at this moment, Xu Que clapped his hands and shouted: "Come, come, come, everyone listen up! Now I am officially resolving your confusion. I am indeed here to rob, and the ones I want to rob are definitely all of you present. Please cooperate, men stand on the left, women stand on the right, and human-beasts... uh, don't look at me like that, I'm talking about you, hurry up and roll to the middle, and all of you hug your heads and squat down!"

Swish!

In an instant, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Is this for real?

This guy really wants to rob?

And he wants us to cooperate?

You can't do this! Even if you came with the Empress, you don't have this kind of power, right?

"Holy Venerable, this..." The tall woman from the Lingxiu Pavilion was stunned and looked at Jiang Hongyan.

Jiang Hongyan pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Xu Que, "The Pavilion Master of the Lingxiu Pavilion was once on good terms with me and helped me quite a bit..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Que immediately shouted loudly: "The Lingxiu Pavilion is all little fairies, no need to be robbed. Everyone else, hurry up and cooperate. Can you have some sense of time? I still have to rush to the next venue!"

Pfft!

In an instant, everyone present nearly wanted to vomit blood!

There's a next venue for robbing? Do you think you're selling art?

But what shocked them the most was Jiang Hongyan's attitude toward Xu Que!

Especially the dozens of young women from the Lingxiu Pavilion, who were all dumbfounded on the spot.

Those who could come here were the strongest batch of people in the pavilion, and their cultivation strength was all above the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

When they first entered the Lingxiu Pavilion hundreds of years ago, they had once looked up to the Empress's divine appearance from afar. That was how imposing she was, the kingly temperament of a generation of Empresses. Many women regarded the Empress as the object of their admiration and took her as an example!

But now, this Empress was as dignified and gentle as a wife in front of a young man at the Body Integration Stage, and when she opened her mouth to speak for the Lingxiu Pavilion, she only calmly described the relationship between the Lingxiu Pavilion and her, without asking Xu Que not to take action against them.

What does this count as?

If that young man refused to let the Lingxiu Pavilion go, would this Empress not intervene?

"Hiss!"

In an instant, many discerning people had already begun to gasp in their hearts.

The Empress's attitude made them vaguely guess something.

This young man at the Body Integration Stage either had an extraordinary background, or his relationship with the Empress was unusual!

Looking at the entire Xuanzhen Continent, no matter how extraordinary the background, it couldn't be as noble as the Empress, and it couldn't make her treat him with this kind of attitude.

Therefore, many people already had the answer in their hearts, and their expressions began to become strange.

Including that tall woman from the Lingxiu Pavilion, who had already guessed the most correct answer. Her eyes were full of horror, but she was also hesitant, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Holy Venerable!"

Finally, she couldn't help but speak, reminding her hesitantly: "The Young Master of the Sage Palace has also come, and there are also people from your Imperial Palace, all not far ahead!"
