Chapter 992

"What?"

Not only Xu Que, but even Er Gou and Duan Jiude exclaimed at the same time, looking shocked and incomparably terrified!

This woman's words were too frightening. She actually claimed it was the owner of the Buried Immortal Valley who ordered them to enter. Wasn't this saying that the person inside was still alive?

You have to know that the Buried Immortal Valley has existed for tens of thousands of years. If the owner inside is still alive, that person must be a figure from the era of Er Gou's previous lives!

"Girl, stop talking nonsense. I've already inquired clearly. You guys are clearly going in to dig for treasure—to put it bluntly, it's grave robbing. Can you stop talking so mysteriously?" Duan Jiude immediately stared and said.

The woman shook her head: "Everything I said is the truth. There's no need to pull these things to lie to you! When we first stepped into the Four Continents, a voice came from the Buried Immortal Valley, and everyone in our three major academies heard it clearly."

"What voice? What did it say?" Xu Que immediately asked.

"It was a woman's voice, as if coming from the distant ancient times, full of majesty, ordering us to enter the Buried Immortal Valley to open the Tomb Seal for her, and also assigning a few people to go to other forbidden lands to investigate whether others had awakened!" The woman said with a solemn expression.

Others?

Hearing this, Xu Que felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that those great figures from the ancient era were buried in all nine forbidden lands? Damn, if they were all released, wouldn't the Four Continents be finished? How would I, the Saint of Acting Cool, mix in the world then?

"No, if that woman issued such an order, why would you listen to her?" Duan Jiude asked cleverly.

The woman with the whip sneered: "We didn't want to pay attention to it at the time, but she comes from the Tianren Clan and has mastered a kind of divine soul technique. She planted a mark in everyone's soul. If we didn't obey, after some time when she came out, she would suppress and kill us! But if we helped, after the matter was accomplished, she would help us leave this place, and the Immortal Artifacts and treasures in the Buried Immortal Valley would be ours to choose from! You tell me, should we obey?"

"Uh..." Duan Jiude touched his nose awkwardly and smiled embarrassedly: "With such a good thing, of course, it's better to obey!"

"That's right, if it were me, the Divine Venerable, I would also be willing. After all, I can get Immortal Artifacts! Wait, no, damn, I, the Divine Venerable, also entered the Buried Immortal Valley back then. Why didn't she ask me for help? Damn, she really is blind!" Er Gou said with a look of unwillingness.

"Be careful that disaster doesn't come from your mouth!" The woman with the whip reminded him with a sneer.

Er Gou was stunned for a moment. After reacting, it instantly covered its mouth, its eyeballs rolling around, seemingly afraid of really being retaliated against!

"Alright, stop acting mysterious here. If she really had the ability, she would have crawled out long ago; why would she need others to help?" Xu Que said coldly, looking incomparably domineering.

At the very least, before that woman escaped, he wasn't afraid at all!

"What step are you at now? When will the Tomb Seal be opened?" Xu Que asked.

The woman with the whip answered truthfully: "We are currently in the outer area. Only the Dao rhyme of the Half-Immortal Realm and above can wear down the Tomb Seal. Unfortunately, our numbers are still insufficient, and the progress is very slow. I'm afraid it will take at least a hundred years to open it!"

"Oh? A hundred years?"

Xu Que instantly raised his eyebrows. If it were a hundred years later, then there was no need to panic. After all, he would probably be incredibly strong by then, so why would he need to fear this owner of the Buried Immortal Valley?

"Wait, no, wait a minute!" Suddenly, Xu Que seemed to have thought of something and looked at the woman with the whip violently: "Those score tokens of yours, were they created by that woman in the Buried Immortal Valley?"

"It wasn't her!" The woman with the whip shook her head directly: "If she could send things out, I'm afraid she would have already sent the Immortal Artifacts inside the tomb out to help us break the Tomb Seal!"

Hearing this, Xu Que nodded slightly.

Originally, he had thought that his killing of the Tianren Clan on the Path of Immortality had been discovered by the woman in the Buried Immortal Valley, so she was retaliating against the Exploding Heaven Gang. But now it seemed that wasn't the case!

But he didn't seem to have offended any other big shots!

"Kid, stop overthinking. I, the Divine Venerable, suspect that this might be because you've done too many bad things and Heaven is retaliating against you!" Er Gou comforted him.

"Get lost, if there's retaliation, it's retaliation against you!" Xu Que immediately glared at Er Gou, but he felt a bit guilty in his heart. After all, if you really talk about it, the one he had offended the most was indeed the Heavens!

At the same time, the woman with the whip looked at Xu Que calmly and said in a deep voice: "The last question has also been answered. When will you let me go?"

Xu Que instantly smiled: "Wait a minute, don't be in such a hurry. The truth-telling game is over, we still have a dare!"

"You're not keeping your promise?" The woman's expression instantly changed, and she retreated slightly.

Although she didn't understand what a "truth or dare" game was, judging by Xu Que's tone, she knew this guy wouldn't let her go.

"I definitely keep my promise, but the premise is that you have to take us into the Immortal formation, and you can't let anyone else notice!" Xu Que smiled.

"Hm? You... you want me to take you into the Immortal formation?" The woman with the whip couldn't help but be stunned, finding it hard to believe.

After all, Xu Que's approach was equivalent to releasing a tiger back to the mountains, and he even had to enter the mountain himself, which was almost like throwing himself into a trap.

If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't do this, because once she entered the Immortal formation, she would definitely use her knowledge of the formation to escape inside and then report the news, finding the academy masters to help.

"Wait, could it be that you want me to swear by my heart demon that I won't expose your existence?" Suddenly, the woman with the whip reacted, guessing this possibility very intelligently.

However, Xu Que shook his head and smiled: "Swearing by the heart demon is too ethereal. I don't believe in such things. What I want is to plant a divine soul seed in your soul. If you dare to betray us, I can make you die with a single thought!"

"Impossible!" The woman with the whip immediately shouted angrily: "If that's the case, then I'd rather choose death!"

Once a divine soul seed was planted, not only would she have no secrets, but she would also become a puppet, at the mercy of others. This was indeed more painful than death. With her personality, it was absolutely impossible for her to agree!

"Uh!" Xu Que was suddenly embarrassed, scratching the back of his head in a very awkward manner: "But when you were unconscious just now, I had already put the divine soul seed in! Seriously, why didn't you tell me earlier? Now I can't even take it out. What do you say we should do?"

"What?"

The woman with the whip instantly widened her eyes, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

What do you mean by "why didn't you tell me earlier"?

Is this kind of thing something you need to tell someone in advance?

Would you be happy if it were you?

"Eh, girl, don't be so excited! Look into my eyes, look carefully, do you see sincerity? I guarantee with my personality that as long as you take us in safely, I will definitely take out the divine soul seed for you!" Xu Que said, trying his best to open his eyes wide.

Er Gou hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, yes, I, the Divine Venerable, guarantee with my wolf personality that what this kid said is true!"

Duan Jiude also nodded: "Girl, the salt I've eaten is more than the rice you've eaten. I strongly suggest you believe this kid once!"

The woman with the whip, however, was already trembling with anger, feeling that she had been cheated miserably!

Although she had encountered many shameless people who didn't keep their word after cultivating for so many years, this was the first time she had seen someone as shameless as Xu Que—simply shameless to the extreme, with no one to compete with!

And this old man and dog weren't good things either, actually lying through their teeth. Does she look like a fool?
