Chapter 808: Chapter Eight Hundred and Seventy-Four: Hurry and Get Ready!

At this moment, in the forest.

Jiang Hongyan sat cross-legged calmly inside the tree cave, her entire body shrouded in light, shimmering brilliantly, like a Fairy untouched by the dust of the mortal world, her temperament transcendent!

Before her, the Tree of Attaining the Dao also surged forth a wisp of ethereal shadow, which was being drawn out bit by bit, merging with her body.

Outside the tree cave, numerous women of Lingxiu Pavilion were also seated cross-legged, but they had no heart to cultivate; all wore expressions of worry, glancing occasionally toward the distance.

"Sigh, for a person like him to go out alone, I fear it is a bit too bold!"

"This does not seem to be boldness, but rather throwing one's life away!"

"Once he goes, I fear he will not return!"

The numerous women all shook their heads and sighed; no one believed Xu Que would return alive.

"Whoosh!"

At this time, a slight commotion came from not far away.

Everyone turned their heads to look; it was Er Gouzi and several powerful figures from the Divine Palace, returning with a huge pile of dry firewood.

"Clatter!"

Er Gouzi darted back in a flash, directly tossing the large pile of dry firewood from his arms onto the ground. His shifty eyes scanned everywhere, then his face changed; he exclaimed, "Holy crap, where is that lad? Hurry and call him out to cook something!"

"Eh? Saint Venerable is also missing? Wait, this aura..." Several powerful figures from the Divine Palace were stunned, then their gazes swept over, looking at the tree cave overflowing with spiritual light; they were immediately moved.

The Saint Venerable is actually in closed-door cultivation?

"With this posture of the Saint Venerable, I fear he is in a small closed-door cultivation; he won't be able to stop for a short time!"

"Tomorrow will be a fierce battle; how can the Saint Venerable still be in closed-door cultivation at such a time?"

"This is bad; what shall we do?"

"That Fellow Daoist Xu is truly something; why didn't he stop the Saint Venerable!"

"Yes, where has Fellow Daoist Xu gone?"

Several powerful figures from the Divine Palace wore faces full of anxiety, sweating from worry.

After all, at this time, a great enemy is already at the gates; the battle will erupt in less than a day, and the enemy's overall strength is far above theirs, truly making them uneasy!

A tall woman of Lingxiu Pavilion stood up, smiling bitterly: "This is the arrangement of that Fellow Daoist Xu; he had the Saint Venerable cultivate here in closed-door cultivation, ordered us to protect him, while he went alone to deal with those powerful figures of the Tianren Clan!"

"What?" Hearing this, several powerful figures from the Divine Palace were instantly stunned into silence.

"He alone, just to face those hundreds of powerful figures of the Tianren Clan?"

"My heavens, is he crazy?"

"Damn it!" Er Gouzi also couldn't help but shout, his face full of rage: "Damn it, I, the Divine Venerable, worked hard to pick up so much dry firewood and bring it back, yet that lad still had the time to go kill Tianren Clan members; this is sheer nonsense. He is such a grown man, yet he doesn't even know how to distinguish what is important from what is not?"

"..." Hearing this, everyone's mouths twitched instantly.

Doesn't know how to distinguish what is important from what is not?

What kind of words are those?

Although him going alone to kill Tianren Clan members is absurd, it is still better than actually cooking and eating things here, right?

We are all cultivators; not eating for several hundred years won't starve us to death!

"Damn it, the more I, the Divine Venerable, think about it, the angrier I get. You all come and judge; we agreed to cook and eat, yet he ran off; is this acceptable?" Er Gouzi criticized with great indignation.

But not a single person present wanted to answer; the crux of the problem right now is simply not about eating or not eating!

"Er Gouzi, what are you shouting about?"

Just then, Xu Que's voice came from not far away.

Everyone immediately turned their heads instinctively to look, a wave of bewilderment passing over them.

They saw Xu Que had returned safely and soundly, still dragging a pair of large white-feathered wings in his hand!

Hmm? Wait!

Those wings, why do they look so familiar?

Everyone in the entire hall was instantly startled, eyes widening, staring straight at the pair of wings in Xu Que's hand.

"This... this is... the wings of the Tianren Clan?" Someone asked in a trembling voice immediately.

But the others were already full of shock, unable to answer.

After all, the answer was obvious; these familiar large white-feathered wings were clearly those of the Tianren Clan, whom they had just met not long ago!

Indeed, after entering this area, the only ones they had encountered with wings like these were the Tianren Clan.

"Damn it, lad, what are you doing? How many Tianren Clan members did you kill?" Er Gouzi also looked shocked, asking aloud.

Xu Que smiled solemnly, waving his hand: "Not long ago; there were many of them, but they were all too weak. I took the general's head amidst ten thousand armies, it was as easy as picking something from a bag! So I directly plucked a pair of wings and brought them back!"

Hiss!

Hearing this, everyone in the entire hall instantly sucked in a breath of cold air!

Taking the general's head amidst ten thousand armies, as easy as picking something from a bag?

Holy crap, this lad faced hundreds of Tianren powerful figures in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, yet returned safely and soundly, even casually plucking a pair of wings?

This is deadly! Just how powerful is this guy?

Many trembled in their hearts, shocked, even imagining Xu Que facing hundreds of Tianren powerful figures in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, that heroic divine posture where one man guards the pass and ten thousand cannot open it.

Xu Que just acted cool so lightly, his face still wearing Jiang Hongyan-style solemnity, as if nothing had happened.

But in fact, nothing like that happened; he used the prototype of the King of Acting Cool Fist combined with the Killing God Sword to blast Tian Zhan to death, then brought back Tian Zhan's wings; he didn't run around looking for those hundreds of Tianren Clan members at all.

Doing this now is purely bragging!

"Come, come, the important moment is about to arrive; we must first do our preparatory work!" At this time, Xu Que's expression was grave; he clapped his hands and mobilized them.

Everyone's spirits immediately lifted, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Finally, we are preparing for battle!

Good thing, it is not too late yet; there is still time to set up arrays and such!

"Fellow Daoist Xu, we do not know what orders you have, but we will definitely cooperate with all our might!" several experts from the Imperial Palace immediately replied.

"Indeed, please feel free to give your orders, Fellow Daoist Xu!" The tall woman from Lingxiu Pavilion also nodded.

Xu Que immediately said with satisfaction, "Good, everyone's enthusiasm is excellent. Come, this brother, go gather all the firewood and pile it up!"

"Yes!"

An expert from the Imperial Palace immediately replied, but the next moment, he froze, "Huh? Pile up firewood?"

The others present also froze, completely baffled.

What was the point of piling up firewood at this time?

"Damn, why do you all have such expressions? If we don't pile up firewood, how can we start a fire?" Xu Que retorted, then immediately waved his hand and commanded, "Alright, stop standing there dumbfounded, get moving quickly. Come, you are responsible for starting the fire, and you, hurry up and set up the pot; do not add any oil, these wings are very fatty. Oh right, and you, prepare the chopped green onions and sesame seeds first. Holy crap, Er Gouzi, what are you doing touching your crotch? These wings cannot be screwed! They cannot be screwed! Hurry up and help the others get the firewood burning, make the fire bigger! The rest of you stand aside and be responsible for shouting '666'!"

Whoosh!

Everyone present was instantly dumbfounded.

Start a fire? Set up a pot? Chopped green onions and sesame seeds?

Damn it, so after all this commotion, you bastard are preparing to cook something?

"Howl, kid, 666!" Er Gouzi, with a face full of excitement, cheered and shouted loudly.

Immediately, this fellow trotted eagerly toward the pile of dry firewood; without needing anyone's help, he simply waved his hand and ignited the dry wood.

The corners of Xu Que's mouth curled up; he flipped his hand, pulled out a large iron pot, filled it with water, and threw it onto the firewood.

In no time, the water in the pot boiled; he threw the entire huge white-feathered wing into the pot, casually scalded it once, then scooped it out, tossed it into the air, and with a wave of his large hand, the entire wing was instantly plucked.

Countless white feathers drifted down, just like a heavy snowfall had begun.

Amidst the "heavy snow," Xu Que gripped a longsword and began slashing at that pair of wings.

Within two or three sword strikes, several cracks appeared on the wings.

Immediately following a loud "clang," Xu Que kicked the large pot away, flipped his hand to pull out a large iron rack, placed it over the firewood, and just at that moment, the entire wing fell, slamming heavily onto the iron rack with a "pa"!

The entire process flowed like drifting clouds and flowing water, completed in one seamless motion.

Everyone present watched with mouths agape, utterly dumbstruck!

By the time they came to their senses, Xu Que was already brushing oil onto the wings, sprinkling chili powder and pepper powder...

As waves of rich aroma spread out, everyone suddenly shivered all over, their legs trembling!

"This... this lad, is he for real?"

"Is he really going to cook this thing and eat it?"

"These are wings of the Tianren Clan; eating this is no different from eating humans!"

"I can't take it anymore!"

"These people from the Sky-Blowing Sect not only eat mosquitoes, but now they also want to charcoal-grill Tianren wings!"

"I feel like I'm about to collapse!"
