Chapter 1406: A Young Man Named Joker
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Golden…Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven!”
Mo Junchen, who was still up in the air fighting the turtle, looked shocked, his eyes wide open.
This beautiful, exquisite Taoist Nun was actually a strongman at the stage of the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, and she was also the grand master of Duan Jiude!
“This was incredible. How could Duan Jiude actually have such an excellent grand master?”
“My grand master is s.e.xy…PUFF.., no, my grand master is mighty,” Duan Jiude was very nervous, and he bowed submissively and respectfully, praising Zixia Fairy with carefully chosen words.
Zixia Fairy continued to ignore Duan Jiude, lifting her cold eyes and focusing immediately on the huge turtle that was the size of a mountain.
The old turtle was scared, and his heart was trembling, as he shouted, “Pre…predecessor, you’ve misunderstood us. We really came here to welcome our ancestor, never to offend you.”
“Three twinklings,” Zixia Fairy said two words.
“What?” The old turtle suddenly felt puzzled.
All the people present were also puzzled: “Three twinklings? What did that mean?”
“I have given you the time of three twinklings, but you’ve used it to talk nonsense.”
Zixia Fairy spoke indifferently, and, at the same time, she raised her hands as wisps of color burst out from between her fingers like dozens of petals sprouting from a blooming flower, and then, immediately, they turned into ribbons, which, at a speed beyond the reach of the naked eye, wrapped the old turtle up so tightly that he resembled a colorful mummy.
“Wait…wait a minute, master. The ancestors of my clan are about to wake up, and if you kill me…” The old turtle was scared so badly as he shouted…
BOOM!
However, before he could finish speaking, he burst, cut into pieces by the ribbons. There was an enormous noise and soon a b.l.o.o.d.y rain fell from the sky, disgustingly mixed with turtle meat.
Everyone who had watched this occur stood in dead silence. They held their breaths because they were scared to even breathe.
Even Mo Junchen was full of shock and fear.
He, a strongman in his own right, at the peak of the Golden Celestial stage, had met some Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven before, but this Taoist Nun of the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven was just too powerful. With one move, the old turtle, at the peak of the Golden Celestial stage, had been destroyed with no chance to fight back.
Mo Junchen felt that all the Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven that he had seen before paled in comparison with this woman.
WHEW!
Suddenly, a red light swept out from the blood fog and rushed into the distance.
“That’s not good, its soul has not died,” Mo Junchen exclaimed and made a move to catch him up.
However, the speed of the old turtle’s soul was just too fast. It disappeared in the distance in the blink of an eye, and concealed its breath with no trace apparent.
Seeing this, Mo Junchen couldn’t do anything but let go of the idea of chasing it.
After all, his strength was only equal to that of the old turtle. Now, the old turtle had lost its physical body, and with only its soul left, its speed would inevitably increase several time over. Even if he chased after it, it would be impossible for him to catch up with the turtle’s soul.
Mo Junchen turned and looked at Zixia Fairy. This indifferent Taoist Nun stood steadily in the same place as she had been standing before and showed no intention of chasing the soul of the turtle.
“Never mind,” Mo Junchen sighed to himself and felt a bit sorry for it.
“Grand master, where have you been all these years? I’ve often thought of you…are you all right?” Duan Jiude began to flatter her again.
To others, Duan Jiude would, maybe, not be able to abase himself with flattery, but, in front of Zixia Fairy, Duan Jiude was like a tame dog.
This made all the people present shocked and frightened. Their Sect Elder Duan, who had always been arrogant, seemed so abased. It was impossible for them to imagine how terrible this Taoist Nun must be.
“I have only one question for you,” Zixia Fairy stared at him coldly and asked him a question, ignoring his flattering words.
Duan Jiude immediately answered, “Grand master, anything you want, I’ll go through fire and water and do my best or die trying.”
“In your Exploding Heavens Faction, is there a young man named Joker? And where is he now?” Zixia Fairy asked, her voice light and thin, but still so cold. However, when she said Joker, there was a faint trace of softness in her voice.
“Joker?”
Everyone there, including many members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, looked at each other with puzzled faces. They seemingly had never heard of a name like that.
Duan Jiude’s expression suddenly became very alert.
He was deeply impressed. His grand master had been to the Five Elements Mountain in the past, but, after returning to the secret land of the South Continent, she’d always been preoccupied, playing and singing a song on the mountaintop every day, seemingly waiting for something and showing infinite sadness.
In the beginning, Duan Jiude and the others were deeply confused about this. It wasn’t until later when he reunited with b.u.t.tface and Xu Que that he understood this matter. Xu Que had transformed himself into Joker and had spent a whole mortal life with the grand master in the Illusory Spell.
Xu Que had never explained what exactly had happened in the Illusory Spell, and had only told them about the magic of the Illusory Spell. At the time, Duan Jiude didn’t think too much about it.
Now, though, Duan Jiude felt a little uneasy when he heard Zixia Fairy asking about Xu Que’s alias.
“Why has my respected grand master asked about that boy’s whereabouts as soon as she’s arrived?
“Could it be…that that boy was so naughty that he offended the grand master and made the master so angry that she had to come back to avenge herself?
“Never mind, anyway, that boy’s life is so uncertain, I will do him a favor and help him avoid a problem.”
“Grand master, the man named Joker has died in the Celestial Burial Valley,” Duan Jiude explained, as he bowed slightly and lowered his head.
He felt a little guilty and didn’t dare to lie to her face. After all, this grand master was notoriously strict, and he’d suffered a lot of punishment from her in the past.
However, after hearing what Duan Jiude had said, her body trembled under her s.p.a.cious robe and her hands involuntarily clasped tightly.
“After all this, one step late!”
“He…how did he die?” As Zixia Fairy asked this question, her voice was trembling, and it seemed mixed with extreme sadness and anger.
However, Duan Jiude only heard the anger in her voice, not the sadness. He hurriedly replied, “Your grand master, he was murdered by the sons of b*tches of the Sea Tribe, whose ancestor set up the furnace in the Celestial Burial Valley. Grand master, where are you going?”
Before Duan Jiude could finish speaking, Zixia Fairy had already turned into a virtual shadow and swept across the sky. A murderous response could be heard from far away, “Revenge!”
HISS!
Duan Jiude took a deep breath, his face full of shock.
“Mother of G.o.d, what the h*ll did that boy do to my grand master? She wants to avenge him after finding out he is dead? D*mn, d*mn. That boy is going to die miserably.” Duan Jiude became very anxious.
When everyone who was present heard this exchange, they immediately opened their eyes wide.
“Duan Jiude, what did you say? The Joker she is looking for is Xu Que?” Liu Jingning hurriedly asked.
“Yes! Who else could it be? Oh no, the direction in which my master went seems to be the location of the Spiritual Eye. If that boy is really dead, it would be better. In case he’s not dead…I’m afraid he’s going to die anyway,” Duan Jiude said, looking at Liu Jingning with a bitter face.
“Well, what are we waiting for? Follow me quickly,” Liu Jingning was also worried, and she turned to follow Zixia Fairy.
Duan Jiude and the others looked at each other and then immediately followed also.
…..
At the same time, there were things happening around the location of the Spiritual Eye.
BANG!
A red beam of light arrived from afar at an extremely terrible speed, and it plunged into the ground and kept drilling as fast as it could go.
Judging from its appearance, this red light resembled the figure of a little turtle, which was the soul of the old turtle that had been destroyed by Zixia Fairy.
It was trying to get as far underground as possible. Feeling shocked and angry, the soul gave a roar, “That d*mn woman, wait for me. When I find my ancestors, I’ll let them kill you and cut you to pieces.”
