The moment when everything suddenly quieted down was most frightening.
All of a sudden, the whole area fell silent. Over thirty powerhouses in the Void Training Stage were dumbfounded!
After receiving over 20,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones from them, Xu Que had fled like that! The whole process had been smooth like floating clouds and flowing water. None of the powerhouses had time to stop Xu Que.
When Xu Que said,
A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near,
all of them had been exclaiming about Xu Que’s literary talent. They were also surprised and wondered whether Xu Que wanted to bury the hatchet and be friendly with them from then on.
However, the next moment, Xu Que told them they could come to him to heal their wounds a year later. Then he just fled after saying,
We will meet again someday!
What the hell?
What the hell was that?
Ah…
Jiang Yushu, the Grand Elder of the Jiang Family, suddenly gave an earth-shaking roar!
He was almost mad. Both of his eyes were red and bloodshot.
In order to receive those two places of healing, he had ruthlessly killed many people along with the rest of the Jiang family’s powerhouses. He didn’t even care about offending other families and sects. During the fight, the Jiang family had also lost two powerhouses in the Void Training Stage!
With such a high cost, they had managed to grab two places. Only after paying millions of best-grade Spirit Stones did they find out they had been cheated. It wasn’t just the humiliation; all of them were annoyed, almost ready to spit blood. Their inner demons almost broke their shackles with the force of their anger.
What a shameless young beast! The Gong Family will torture him to death! Ah…
roared the powerhouse of the Gong Family, clenching his teeth.
After they had won the healing place arduously, they were told they would only be able to heal their wounds in a year! Xu Que was definitely teasing them!
Based on their strength and accumulation, they could regain full power in at most two to three months, even if they were seriously wounded. They didn’t need to wait another year!
From now on, there will be no standing room for him in the East Continent!
said Bai Lingrui, the Holy Virgin of the Bai Family, coldly with magnificent killing intent. She was shaking with anger, for they had suffered a great loss this time!
He’s asking for death!
Dong Genji squinted his chilly eyes, then he waved his hand and started to head for the Ancient Bronze Hall along with several geniuses of the Carefree Building.
The next moment, the rest of the people came to themselves and also started to follow them.
They knew Xu Que would definitely go to the Ancient Bronze Hall.
All of these people broke out in uproar. At last, only powerhouses and apprentices of the Utopia Faction were still present, dumbfounded with slightly opened mouths.
He… is awesome! What a shameless man he is!
an old man said in terror.
He’s too unscrupulous! How could he cheat those big families and sects like that? Fortunately, we weren’t involved; otherwise, we would also be aggravated!
another powerhouse said fearfully.
His unscrupulous means could be compared with the notorious Duan Jiude. Could he be the second Duan Jiude?
They aren’t the same. Duan Jiude is powerful, but disrespectful! People can’t do anything to him! This man is still young and inexperienced. Sooner or later, he’ll be taken care of by someone!
Several people were talking about this issue, still terrified by Xu Que. If they hadn’t obeyed Liu Jingning’s instructions, they would also have suffered a great loss like the other families and sects!
Xu Que’s trick of killing with a borrowed knife had seemed very coarse, but he had achieved his goal.
It was quite clear that he planned this dog-eat-dog game. The powerhouses of the big families and sects also knew his plan. However, no one could resist the temptation of the Ancient Bronze Hall’s significant profits. All of them had wanted to take the great fortune using their full strength.
Therefore, even though they knew Xu Que was planning to kill them with borrowed knives, they would rather have been injured and receive spots on the list to be healed.
However, none of them had expected that Xu Que had never planned to heal them at all, from the beginning to the end. He had even scammed over 20,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones from them! This time, all the families and sects had paid a double penalty!
…
Two days later, outside the Desolation City
Many people had arrived at this place.
Normally, people needed three days to cover the trip from the Celestial Burial Valley to the Desolation City. These people had managed to arrive in two days to fight for the great fortune.
After their arrival, none of them acted recklessly. Although they knew a great change had occurred there, they were still shocked by the scene in front of them.
The entire Desolation City was floating in the sky, leaving a big pit on the ground. Now the Desolation City had fallen apart in the sky, and only the Ancient Bronze Hall was left.
The Ancient Bronze Hall was saturated with a creepy aura. Although it was surrounded by Spiritual Fog and strands of Spiritual Qi fell down from time to time, these people became more and more uneasy after their arrival.
The entire Ancient Bronze Hall was made of cast bronze. Therefore, it was wrapped in a green glow, which was quite eerie.
Countless runes that were thickly written, like tadpoles, were carved on the surface of the bronze. It seemed like each rune contained a Taoist Connotation, which was quite tempting. People could lose themselves easily looking at these runes.
This ancient hall is very special. It seems those strange runes came from ancient times!
Xiao Taixuan said, furrowing his eyebrows while he looked at the Ancient Bronze Hall.
They didn’t move recklessly, for the hall was quite scary.
Besides the creepy runes, the current situation of the Desolation City was also abnormal.
They all knew a lot of cultivators had once stayed in this city. Now, they found nobody there, not even a dead body. The entire area was like a deathtrap.
Those aren’t ancient runes, not even… writing of this world!
said Han Ying, the Holy Virgin of the Heaven Secret Pavilion, seriously at this moment. She was shocked by the runes.
Not from this world? Could they… be from the Spiritual Realm?
The rest of people, who were surprised by her words, couldn’t help their quickening heartbeats.
If this ancient hall was from the Spiritual Realm, it must have been extraordinary and would definitely cause great chaos in this World of Cultivators!
It’s highly possible that it was from the Spiritual Realm. The Spiritual Qi in this area is so intense that it could be compared with Heavenly Qi. The Spiritual Qi here must have come from the ancient hall!
Could it be that what the dog said was true? The owner of this ancient hall was the celestial who was buried in the Celestial Burial Valley!
someone said in surprise.
Whoosh!
At this moment, an air-rending sound came from afar.
Together with Jiang Hongyan, Liu Jingning, and Buttface, Xu Que had arrived by stepping on lightning.
After using the Divine Escape Spell, he had been teleported to a place dozens of miles away from the Celestial Burial Valley. He had also spent two days travelling to the Desolation City.
When they were close to the place, Xu Que felt his blood freeze, and an intense uneasiness possessed him.
Liu Jingning and Buttface also had the same feeling. Therefore, they were very serious.
Jiang Hongyan changed her expression again. If she hadn’t been determined, she would also have rushed to the Ancient Bronze Hall.
I feel like I’ve been here before!
Jiang Hongyan murmured in a low voice. Her eyes were full of confusion.
She couldn’t remember this ancient hall. However, she had a feeling that she had been there before.
On the way, as she went nearer, this feeling became more and more intense.
She mentioned this feeling to Xu Que and Liu Jingning on the way, so they were no longer surprised, but confused.
Don’t be nervous. Later, I’ll go with you. Even if it is a celestial abode, I’ll blast it if something goes wrong!
Xu Que boasted.
Now he was strong enough to say so, especially with the assistance of his Divine Escape Spells.
Exactly, it’s just a celestial abode. I could smash it with one punch!
Buttface also started to boast.
However, Jiang Hongyan shook her head and said,
Don’t come with me. I have a feeling that this ancient hall will endanger anyone who comes close to it, except for me!
She wasn’t boasting, for she really had this intense feeling in her heart, even more real than the Sixth Sense.
Only you’re here! Why isn’t everyone else?
Xiao Taixuan asked confusedly and turned around at this moment.
They’re still behind us. All of them wanted to show gratitude to me for helping them heal their wounds.
Xu Que squinted his eyes and said with a smile,
Why are you still here?
Xiao Taixuan and the others paused immediately. Xu Que’s smile made them vigilant, for Xu Que had also smiled like this when he had tricked them before.
That ancient hall is quite weird. It doesn’t have an entrance!
Xiao Munan replied calmly.
They had done an inspection around the ancient hall, but they hadn’t found an entrance.
Moreover, thousands of cultivators used to stay in the Desolation City. Now, all of them are gone. I’m afraid all of them have died!
Xiao Taixuan said seriously as he fixed his eyes on Buttface.
Buttface used to talk about the history of this ancient hall. Therefore, they thought Buttface would know more about it.
However, Buttface said nothing. Xu Que said in surprise,
Well, I don’t know whether you’ve noticed it or not, but doesn’t this ancient hall look like… an enormous coffin?
A coffin?
People were stunned by his words. When they turned around to check the ancient hall, their expressions changed.
At Xu Que’s observation, they realized this Ancient Bronze Hall actually was like a gigantic coffin!
If it really is a coffin, the entrance should be on the top, right?
