Two months later, in the valley of the Gong Family, a ball of shining white light appeared, surprising all the Gong Family members. A few Sect Leaders, together with ten young cultivators, came to the valley, trying to find out what had happened.
Who are you?! How dare you enter the Array of the Gong Family?!
A cultivator yelled.
In just a few seconds, the white light disappeared, and Xu Que slowly walked out. All of a sudden, all the members of the Gong Family were shocked.
Xu Que?! Why on earth is he here?! There is really nothing we can give you apart from some needles and threads!
My dear friend, welcome, welcome!
A Sect Leader said, his voice trembling.
My friend, don’t worry, the head of the Scarlet Yang Faction is imprisoned. If you have any other requests, please tell us!
Xu Que nodded emotionlessly and said with a deep voice,
I don’t care about the Scarlet Yang Faction! Anyway, from now on, without my permission, none of you can ever go to the Five Elements Mountain again! Do you hear me?
Sure! We promise, we will never go to the Five Elements Mountain again!
The Sect Leaders said all together.
In fact, for them, the Five Elements Mountain was useless, which explained why they had not sent anyone there in the past.
Remember what you have said just now!
Xu Que said and quickly left.
When Xu Que was gone, the Sect Leaders wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and were relieved. They looked at one another for a while. Then they all left and went back to tell what had transpired to their Patriarchs.
…
Soon, Xu Que came to the top of a huge mountain.
In fact, Xu Que might have come to the Four Great Continents a few days earlier than Jiang Hongyan, as the Teleportation Device beneath Jiang Hongyan’s bedroom was rather old. Xu Que thought he could go to a desolate village and wait for Hongyan, but he was not sure if he had really arrived a few days earlier than Hongyan. Since, the last time he had seen her, Hongyan had used her Spell Mending Stone to speed up the Teleportation Device.
What if she had repaired the old Teleportation Device and had already arrived earlier than me? It would take me a few days to go to that village. What if my calculation of time is wrong? Anyway, I have to know where she is heading to next!
The Jiang Family or the North Sea? Now that the lock in the Five Elements Mountain has been destroyed, the lock here in the Four Great Continents becomes much stronger. It will not be easy for her to go to the Xuanzhen Continent. I wonder how will she do that, though.
It’s time to use my ‘clutch shot’!
Then he summoned the System and shouted,
System, activate the Lucky Aura!
He took off his shoes and threw them high up into the sky, while guessing which direction Jiang Hongyan was heading.
Bang!
The shoes fell onto the ground and pointed to the southeast. Xu Que was a bit stunned
She is heading in the opposite direction of that village?!
Xu Que frowned and threw his shoes again.
Bang!
This time, the shoes pointed to the southeast again.
I believe in the Lucky Aura!
He put on his shoes and quickly headed to the southeast.
During the journey, he stopped four times, and each time he would throw his shoes two times to double-check. Five days later, he arrived at a barren plain.
Here again?
Xu Que was surprised. He was standing outside of the Celestial Burial Valley, right in front of the the Ancient Bronze Hall.
Last time, I also took a long journey and came all the way here by throwing my shoes. I never thought I would be back here again, even earlier than Hongyan. But the Celestial Burial Valley was supposed to lead to the Xuanling Continent, not the Xuanzhen Continent. Can it be possible that Hongyan is heading to the Xuanling Continent?
No, this can’t be! Why on earth does she need to go there?! Wait a minute, she wants to get into the Ancient Bronze Hall again?
Thinking of this, Xu Que suddenly raised up his head and stared at the floating Ancient Bronze Hall in front of him.
He remembered that those powerful cultivators from the Xuanzhen Continent always said that the Ancient Bronze Hall is also called the Immortal Hall, and could help people to reincarnate. After Jiang Hongyan walked out from the Ancient Bronze Hall, she never came back.
Why does she want to come here?
I have to stop her!
Xu Que stopped guessing and immediately summoned his Taoist Body that had long silver hair. He also gave the long black stick to his Taoist Body, so the Taoist Body could help him to stop Hongyan getting into the Ancient Bronze Hall.
Sometimes, only by being tough can a difficult problem be solved.
Since the black stick would not hurt people, people who were hit would not feel any pain; so too Xu Que thought Jiang Hongyan would be able to take it. Then he chanted some inscriptions and changed into a transparent figure and hid in the dark, waiting for the right moment. At the same time, he slowly walked to the place that was right beneath the Immortal Hall, took out a beach chair, and lay on it.
He was still not sure if the Lucky Aura had taken him to the right place, but, for now, he could do nothing but wait. Besides, to increase the chances of Jiang Hongyan’s coming here, he even activated a Lucky Aura that cost a huge amount of Acting Tough Points. After an hour, maybe it was because of the Red Rope of Marriage or the Lucky Aura, Jiang Hongyan came.…
