Obviously, Xu Que wouldn’t let Shang Wu go!
If it weren’t for Situ Hai Tang and Shang Ling, Xu Que would have already killed him back in the Snow City.
When Xu Que knew that Shang Wu had invited help from the Gong Family, he had made up his mind to kill Shang Wu.
Xu Que had killed the four old men of the Gong Family in front of everyone, but he had let Shang Wu go. He did so simply because he did not want to be reprimanded by Situ Hai Tang.
Secretly, Xu Que had ordered his thunder illusion body to hunt for Shang Wu.
That night, Xu Que gathered together with all the guards and Generals and had a small meeting.
Xu Que warned them that no one should tell anyone else that he had killed the people of the Gong Family, since if anyone knew about this, the entire Water Nation would be dragged into a war.
Hearing this, everyone nodded and swore that they would keep it secret.
Later that night, they had destroyed the dead bodies of Gong Feng and repaired the damaged buildings.
Xu Que went back to his bedroom and closed the door.
He then took out five Storage Rings that belonged to the Gong Feng and the rest of the four old men.
Normally, Xu Que wouldn’t bother to look in the Storage Ring of someone he had just killed, but since the Gong Family had come from overseas, he felt he had check the Storage Ring in case there was something valuable.
Hey, what are you doing right now?
Buttface came close to Xu Que and asked.
Xu Que rolled his eyes and said,
Since we’re going to head overseas, I think it would be better if we know the people overseas a bit better, starting from looking in their Storage Rings, for example.
When did you get the rings from them? Why on earth didn’t I notice?
Buttface was stunned. He had been watching Xu Que fight against people from the Gong Family this whole time. It was impossible for him not to have seen Xu Que take the Storage Rings from them.
Did you think I would let you see it?
Xu Que sneered.
You idiot, it’s the System who took the rings off them, but I won’t tell you that.
Then Xu Que used his Soul Strength to clear away the energy left on the rings and looked into them.
However, Xu Que found nothing but some Spiritual Stones, as well as some magic inscriptions of low ranks.
What a shame! Apart from some magic weapons that might be useful, it’s just a pile of crap!
Xu Que shook his head while looking into the Storage Ring that belonged to Gong Feng.
As soon as he looked into it, he suddenly felt a bit cold and his pupils dilated.
Xu Que immediately pulled back his Soul Strength and threw away the ring.
A ray of red light quickly appeared and flew towards Xu Que. It followed the trace of Xu Que’s Soul Strength and was about to hit a spot between his eyebrows.
Holy sht! System! Help!
Bang!
Buttface jumped up and blocked the light with his hands. The ray of red light was broken to pieces and gradually disappeared. Some fell onto Xu Que, but they also vanished quickly.
Xu Que was a bit surprised and stared at Buttface.
What on earth is happening?
I have no idea! When I saw the red light, I couldn’t help but chase it. I never thought it would be so easily broken.
Couldn’t help chasing the red light?! You really are a dog!
Wait! I remember, the light is some sort of mark!
Buttface suddenly exclaimed,
Show me your arms!
Hearing this, Xu Que pulled up his sleeve and found nothing on his arms.
There’s supposed to be a red dot on one of your arms! Well, it might be because I destroyed it in advance,
Buttface said.
What on earth are you talking about?
Xu Que rolled his eyes.
It’s a mark. Now that you’ve killed the Third Master of the Gong Family, with this mark, the Gong Family can sense you and know where you are as soon as you land on the Eastern Continent. Anyway, the effect of the mark has been greatly decreased, don’t worry. As long as we keep our distance from the Gong Family, they can’t find out where you are, and in fact, the mark will disappear after a while,
Buttface said rather calmly.
My god! I never thought the Gong Family could do this. Judging from what Buttface said, it seems there’s no need to worry anymore.
Xu Que exerted his Soul Strength and started to look into the Storage Ring again.
He was stunned by what was inside.
There were hundreds of Spiritual Stones of top quality, a book of magic inscriptions of the Star Rank, and some magic weapons of eight stars.
My my! The fortune he has is as much as a country has in the Five Nations.
Holy sht! It seems that in the future when I’m short of money, I should just loot rich kids from influential families,
Xu Que smiled.
He put the book into the System to check and found that the magic inscription the two old men had used was called the
Void Annihilation Cut.
He also knew that this magic inscription came with a price, which meant that when people used it, their lifespans would shorten, and the energy it exerted was extremely magnificent.
Well, this is of no use to me.
Xu Que shook his head.
No one would use it unless they’re under great danger! If I use it, my lifespan will be shortened.
Besides, Xu Que had the Divine Tracking Emblem, so there was simply no use for him to use this sort of magic inscription.
Never mind! I don’t think it necessary to practice this magic inscription.
…
The next morning, the palace was back to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Que set up two magic arrays—one for the palace and the other for the entire Imperial City.
He went to the Water Empress’ bedroom with Buttface and started to pack.
Zi Xuan came to to say goodbye.
Xu Que, remember what my sister told you. Be modest and don’t get yourself into trouble when you’re overseas.
Getting myself into trouble? This doesn’t sound like something your sister would have said to me. You’re worried about me, aren’t you?
Xu Que smiled and asked.
Hearing this, Zi Xuan blushed.
I am not! I’m so glad that you’re going to leave here! Can’t you see I’m smiling now?
Good then! I’ll leave now. Buttface, let’s get into the teleportation array.
Xu Que smiled to Zi Xuan and got into the Ancient Teleportation Device with Buttface.
The Ancient Teleportation Device was a huge, round platform made of Spiritual Stone. On the edge of it, there were, in total, six long and narrow cuts that were connected by numerous patterns.
The design looked very sophisticated, yet in Xu Que’s view, it was like a children’s toy.
There are six cuts, which means I have to put one Spiritual Stone of top quality into each of them. How expensive!
Xu Que complained, while taking out six purple Spiritual Stones of top quality.
How pretentious you are! I know you’re rich! I saw you poking into their Storage Rings yesterday and collecting hundreds of Spiritual Stones from Gong Feng’s Storage Ring.
Xu Que didn’t reply to him and put stones into the cuts.
Bang!
The Ancient Teleportation Device began to rotate…
