Grandmaster, please show mercy! Although I also think the boy should die, he’s already dead. We do not need to flog the corpse!

Duan Jiude rushed vigorously to the Spiritual Eye position. When he saw Zixia Fairy standing in place, he hurriedly dissuaded her.
Liu Jingning and the others also fell to the ground. Having heard Duan Jiude just now, she had learned that the
Joker
who Zixia Fairy had mentioned was Xu Que. Everyone now was cautiously watching Zixia Fairy, seriously regarding her as an enemy.

What did you… say just now?
While questioning him, Zixia Fairy swept her chilly gaze at Duan Jiude and emitted a murderous aura.

This damn treacherous disciple dares to say that the Joker deserves to die? If everything in that Illusory Realm was real, how does he know who the Joker should be now?




Well, Grandmaster, don’t get angry. There’s no need to be so harsh. That boy and I have a good friendship. Just let him rest in peace!

It was rare that Duan Jiude would make such a serious plea. He thought that Zixia Fairy wanted to dig up Xu Que’s body to flog it, an absolutely vicious behavior. He really could not stand by and do nothing.
Furthermore, until now, he still felt that Xu Que was probably still alive. If he were to really be dug out by Zixia Fairy, perhaps he really could not make it out alive.
Zixia Fairy’s eyes immediately turned cold, and in a chilly voice she rebuked him.
What nonsense are you spouting? It’s not your place to censure the things I do. What’s more, I’m only here to take revenge on behalf of the Joker, and you think I’m going to do such a vicious thing as flogging the body?

Duan Jiude was instantly struck dumb, thinking,
What? Revenge? His honorable Grandmaster is not here to deal with that boy, Xu Que, but to avenge him? Fck, how is this possible? Didn’t Grandmaster hate that boy at the time. Why is she taking revenge for him now?

In a flat tone, Zixia Fairy whispered,
However, the meaning of your words just now… Are you saying that the Joker… is also underground?

She certainly knew why the Celestial Burial Valley had become this way.
The moment the Heaven & Earth Furnace activated, she could sense it as far away as the Five Elements Mountain, so she had rushed over at high speed.
But she had not expected that when she arrived to save Duan Jiude that she would hear the news that the Joker had died instead. She had mistakenly thought that he was sacrificed by the Heaven & Earth Furnace, so she had immediately sought out the location of the Spiritual Eye. She wanted to kill the person in the Spiritual Eye to avenge the Joker.
But now that she had heard Duan Jiude’s words, Zixia Fairy had a realization.



If the Joker is also in the Spiritual Eye right now, then he might still be alive!

At this thought, Zixia Fairy’s eyes finally revealed a trace of light at this ray of hope.

Grandmaster, he… he’s really underground. Earlier, we did see him go into the Spiritual Eye Mountain with Buttface. But now…


He’s still alive!
Zixia Fairy interrupted.
She contemplated internally.
If he is in the Spiritual Eye position, then he is likely to evade being offered as a sacrifice to the Heaven & Earth Furnace.


Well, Grandmaster, in fact, this may not be necessarily so. I will tell you honestly. He was once written in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi by someone. The position we’re in now… There’s an ice coffin below. The dead person inside is the other person mentioned in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. The two people’s lives are interconnected—They live and die together. So even if that boy can escape the Heaven & Earth Furnace, now… I’m afraid it could be too late!
Duan Jiude’s face looked pained.
Although he did not know how to repair the relationship between his Grandmaster and Xu Que, he also dared not ask at present. He could only tell the truth about the whole story.

The Heavenly Book of Taiyi?
Zixia Fairy looked astonished.
During her time, with her powerful position, she naturally had heard of the Heavenly Book of Taiyi and even knew more than Duan Jiude.
She thought,
But how could the Joker be written into the Heavenly Book of Taiyi? How could the person with the Heavenly Book of Taiyi choose the Joker? His strength is so weak. Even if he had great fortune during the last decade or so, he would not be eligible to be written into the Heavenly Book of Taiyi!




Impossible,
she said coolly.
Even with the Joker’s strength, how would the One Chosen by the Heaven dare to take such a substantial risk to live and die together with him?

Duan Jiude grimaced.
Grandmaster, it’s a long story. You know as well that the boy lacks virtue and has no conscience. He specializes in doing infuriating things without any consequences, so he has annoyed the One Chosen by the Heaven, which has led to…


How dare you!
Zixia Fairy suddenly shouted. She fixed a ferocious stare at Duan Jiude.

This damn, wretched discipline… How dare he say bad things about the Joker and denigrate him in such a way?


Erm… Grandmaster… what… what’s wrong?
Duan Jiude turned deathly pale with fright.
The people present at the scene muttered quietly that Duan Jiude had not said anything wrong.
Why did this exceptionally beautiful Taoist Nun explode in anger again? It’s scary!


The Joker is a kindhearted person who’s honest and innocent. He always puts others above him. How dare you denigrate him in front of me! What should be the punishment for your transgression?

Zixia Fairy almost even raised her hand to teach Duan Jiude a lesson, but after loudly admonishing him, the people now were staring blankly, collectively baffled.

Xu Que, the Faction Leader Xu is kindhearted, honest, and innocent and always puts others above him!


My Sister Taoist Nun, I’m afraid you have lost your mind!



Everyone was stupefied and looked strangely at Zixia Fairy.
Duan Jiude also looked stunned. He opened his big mouth and said in disbelief,
Grandmaster, did you… did you mistake him for someone else? Don’t tell me the Joker you are referring to is Xu Que… That boy?


Xu Que? Bastard, did my words go in one ear and out the other? What does the matter with the Joker have to do with Xu Que, that shameless lecher?
Zixia Fairy was exceptionally irate. If she had not taken the Joker’s sake into account, she certainly would not have let go of Xu Que.
She would never forget, after all, how Xu Que had destroyed more than half of the Mighty Sect’s Medicinal Garden in front of her and even ridicule her.

Uh…
Duan Jiude stood dumbstruck, and then his entire expression turned completely sour.
The people witnessing the scene also all frowned.
Liu Jingning’s pretty face showed a scowl. She felt that the matter was not so simple.
Knowing that guy’s style of doing things in the past, this Taoist Nun has most likely deceived! The key is, It doesn’t matter that she was deceived. According to current trends, this Taoist Nun… could perhaps become good sisters with me in the future!

At the thought of this, Liu Jingning suddenly gnashed her teeth in anger.
That little guy is extremely daring indeed. Not only did he secretly chase after a woman and dally with her outside, the woman he had gotten involved with was Duan Jiude’s master. It’s simply too outrageous for words!


Duan Jiude, I only want to know one thing. Who exactly is underground? Is it the Joker or Xu Que? If you want to make use of me to save Xu Que, then I must now purge my sect of trash.
Zixia Fairy’s voice had just faded when the Qi in the air instantly solidified into a sharp long sword that pressed firmly against Duan Jiude’s throat, from where a chill radiated.
Duan Jiude immediately wailed and cried out,
Grandmaster, I’m innocent! The Joker you mentioned is Xu Que!



With a muffled bang, the long sword formed by Qi instantly scattered and disappeared in front of Duan Jiude.
Zixia Fairy looked lost and said in disbelief,
What… What did you say?

…
In the endless piles of sand and stone beneath everyone’s feet, the little Turtle Spirit was constantly drilling into the ground. Short and tough, the exquisite, lovely turtle head continually dug, as if to conquer this piece of land.
The deeper it went into the ground, the more excited it became. Its entire body was fiery hot.
The Turtle Spirit muttered to itself excitedly,
What a strong presence! It is definitely an ancestor. It’s getting stronger and stronger!

It was so worked up that it could not help shaking. It even accidentally sprayed spittle as it spoke.
