Chapter 788: Taking Action to Seize Treasure [First Update]

Clearly, this tall woman from the Lingxiu Pavilion was out of good intentions, fearing that Jiang Hongyan and Xu Que were unaware and would run into the Young Master of the Sage Palace!

After all, in her view, Xu Que, a Body Integration Stage cultivator, was still far from being comparable to that Young Master of the Sage Palace.

It was just that she couldn't understand why the Empress would be so special to this young man. Could it be just because he was handsome? That didn't seem like the Empress's personality either!

And this young man also looked very unreliable. In front of so many people, relying on the Empress being by his side, he shouted at so many Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts to rob them. It was truly contemptible.

However, these inner thoughts were only things they dared to think in their hearts, and naturally, they wouldn't say them out loud!

And at this moment, Xu Que was full of smiles.

People from the Sage Palace and the Imperial Palace are both here?

That is truly excellent!

Excellent to the point of exploding!

"Kid, remember to take this God Venerable with you later!" Er Gouzi had been listening from the side, and at this moment, hearing that they were going to enter the mountain to face those terrifying Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes, it immediately reminded him.

Having mixed with Xu Que for so long, how could Er Gouzi not understand Xu Que? Seeing him with such a smiling expression, it knew he was definitely going to cause trouble again!

"Girl, since people from the Sage Palace and the Imperial Palace are both ahead, why don't we go over together!" At this moment, Xu Que cupped his hands, looking refined and courteous, without a trace of the rogue-like air he had when he was shouting about robbing earlier.

Everyone was stunned, nearly thinking they had experienced a hallucination.

How can this guy be so good at acting?

"Thanks for the kind offer, Fellow Daoist, but..." The tall woman hesitated and looked at Jiang Hongyan, seemingly finding it difficult to continue.

"But what?" Jiang Hongyan asked directly.

The tall woman then continued: "It's just that the Sage Palace and the Imperial Palace had an agreement beforehand. They lured away the Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes, so they should be the ones to enter first. We need to wait for an hour before we can go over!"

"It's fine, it's fine. You guys just follow us over. No one dares to stop you!" Xu Que waved his hand immediately, looking generous.

After saying this, he looked at that group of scattered cultivators and demon beast clans, and said generously: "Everyone, you should all go over together too. It is said that fate brings people together from a thousand miles away. Meeting is fate. Let's go over together; it'll be livelier with more people!"

Everyone's mouth twitched instantly.

God damn fate brings people together from a thousand miles away. Who is meeting you?

And livelier with more people? If it weren't for the Empress being on your side, we would have beaten you to death long ago!

"Let's all go over together!" At this moment, the Empress also nodded.

"That's right! Look, the Empress has spoken, so don't be shy, everyone. Let's go take a look together!" Xu Que also urged.

After all, the great cause of acting cool required salted fish who knew how to shout 666 to be present, the more the better!

However, everyone didn't pay much attention to Xu Que, but seeing that the Empress had nodded in agreement, they dared to follow with complete peace of mind.

After all, everyone had witnessed the Empress's character; she was upright and never played any schemes or traps.

It was also fortunate that these people didn't understand Xu Que yet; otherwise, they would really want to vomit blood, question life, and have their jaws drop in shock, wondering why the Empress would be with such a person?

"Thank you, Holy Venerable!"

Everyone thanked the Empress one after another, and then a group of people marched forward in a mighty force!

Xu Que's robbing also came to nothing. For him now, robbing these people was far less interesting than robbing the Sage Palace and the Imperial Palace!

Following the route guidance on the map, everyone rushed for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the area where Zhang Tiandao was.

That was a collapsed mountain range. There was a cave in the mountain range, which was the only way to the entrance where the Space-Breaking Talisman was used.

Back then, Zhang Tiandao and that woman entered from here, but unfortunately triggered a killing array, leading to a tragedy.

And now, the cave entrance was desolate, covered with fallen leaves. The entire cave entrance was pitch black, appearing somewhat eerie, and from time to time, cold winds blew out from within, blowing away the fallen leaves on the ground!

"It seems Young Master Wei and the others have already gone in, and those Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes are also inside!" The tall woman from the Lingxiu Pavilion stared at the cave entrance, her expression solemn.

They were all very clear that this place had become even more dangerous. Such a large number of Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes was by no means something they could handle. If they weren't careful, they could all die here in minutes!

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Xu Que narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling around the cave entrance, and then the corners of his mouth raised, "This place has also been set up with an array, and it was set up not long ago!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from inside the cave.

Immediately following, several streams of light flashed out from the cave entrance very quickly; they were actually several Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts.

Several people were covered in blood, their expressions very flustered. As soon as they rushed out of the cave entrance, they immediately took out Top-grade Spirit Stones, threw them in all directions, and simultaneously pinched spells.

"Young Master, we are ready!" several people shouted toward the cave entrance simultaneously.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a graceful figure in white, carrying dozens of people, darted out of the cave entrance very quickly.

At the same time, a scalp-numbing "buzzing" sound came from the cave, like a group of bees flapping their wings, getting closer and closer!

"It's those Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes chasing out!" The tall woman from the Lingxiu Pavilion instantly turned pale, recognizing this sound!

"Young Master, hurry!" At the same time, the few cultivators who had run out first also gritted their teeth and shouted.

The brilliance of the spells in the hands of several people was already blazing, preparing to seal the array.

The dozens of cultivators led by the white-clad man also quickly accelerated, rushing out from the cave entrance.

Swish!

But just at this moment, a streak of red light suddenly darted out from the cave, and with lightning speed, instantly caught up.

"Bad!"

"Young Master, be careful!"

Everyone's expression changed, and they exclaimed in surprise.

Rip!

Amidst a crisp sound, the white-clad man's body twisted in the air at an eerie angle, brushing past the red light, but a large piece of cloth was still torn off his body!

Almost at the same time, only a "clatter" sound was heard, and something wrapped in animal skin fell off the white-clad man's body!

That red light also returned, and with astonishing speed, rushed directly toward the animal skin!

A trace of unwillingness flashed across the white-clad man's face. It was already too late to snatch back the thing inside the animal skin, so he could only rush out quickly under the protection of the crowd.

Just as he landed, the white-clad man's gaze happened to face this side, landing on Jiang Hongyan, and he was instantly moved.

"Holy Venerable, you... you have returned?" He said with a face full of surprise.

But the next moment, the smile on his face gradually stiffened.

Because he saw that standing beside Jiang Hongyan was also Xu Que, and they were standing very close, completely shoulder to shoulder, looking quite a match!

"Young Master, Zhang Tiandao's thing..." At this moment, someone discovered the thing that the white-clad man had just dropped at the cave entrance and exclaimed.

But before he could finish speaking, that streak of red light had already rolled up the animal skin, along with the thing wrapped inside, and drilled directly toward the cave entrance.

"Forget it, it's too late!" The white-clad man shook his head.

Boom!

Suddenly, a terrifying sonic boom exploded.

Everyone instantly felt their eyes blur, as if a large patch of lightning had passed in front of them, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Little guy, come back!" Jiang Hongyan was moved on the spot and exclaimed in surprise.

This seemed to be the first time she had been moved like this.

Because the person who rushed out was none other than Xu Que.

Upon hearing someone say that the thing the white-clad man dropped was Zhang Tiandao's thing, Xu Que immediately guessed that it was very likely the Space-Breaking Talisman inside. Without thinking much, he directly chased after it!

He unleashed his Three Thousand Thunder Movements with all his might, even utilizing all his technique bonuses, rushing out at his absolute peak speed. At the same time, he clenched his hand into a fist and, without the slightest hesitation, used his King of Acting Cool Fist—costing thirty thousand Acting Cool Points—to blast directly toward that streak of red light!

Boom!

In an instant, a giant golden fist condensed, and from an intercepting angle, heavily smashed that streak of red light into the mountain wall.

The entire mountain wall burst on the spot, gravel splashed, the red light disappeared without a trace, and that thing wrapped in animal skin also fell directly to the ground.

"What? This... how is this possible?"

The many women from the Lingxiu Pavilion who came with Xu Que, as well as that group of scattered cultivators and demon beast clans, instantly changed their expressions, finding it hard to believe.

A Body Integration Stage cultivator actually possessed this kind of speed and this kind of power?

"Seal the array!" Almost at the same time, the white-clad man's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly shouted loudly.

The few cultivators outside the cave entrance didn't have any hesitation, suddenly slapped down with their palms, and instantly opened the array that had been set up earlier.

"Wait, stop!" Jiang Hongyan hurriedly shouted.

But it was always too late. A brilliant radiance had already surged from the ground, carrying a majestic restraining force, instantly covering the entire cave and the area around the cave entrance.

Except for Xu Que, everyone else landed safely outside the array.

However, Xu Que had never paid any attention to that restraining array from beginning to end. He tapped his toes on the ground lightly, his body instantly darted forward, and he rolled the object wrapped in animal skin into his arms.

Immediately following a "clatter" sound, his feet landed steadily. The whole process was smooth and flowing, ending in less than a blink of an eye!

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

At this moment, a deafening roar came from inside the cave, as if the mountain were collapsing and the ground splitting!

Everyone present had their expressions change drastically.

From that pitch-black cave entrance, countless dense Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes poured out like a torrential flood.

A thought instantly flashed through everyone's mind: That kid is dead for sure!

【The first update for today is delivered! By the way, at least so far, everything that needed to be made up has been made up, and there are no more missed updates!
