Chapter 1423: What’s This?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“You’ve been here before?” Xu Que and Duan Jiude shouted at the same time, looking at b.u.t.tface with surprise.

How many places had they gone to where it seemed as if he’d been there before. It seemed as if he’d been everywhere.

b.u.t.tface shook his head and looked confused, “I really feel as if I have some impression of this place, but it’s very vague, and I can’t remember all the details.”

“D*mn, then what difference is that from never being here before?” Duan Jiude asked as he looked at him with disdain.

“What’s the rush? Let me try to remember,” b.u.t.tface sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and frowned. He seemed to be in deep thought.

Zixia Fairy also seemed lost in thought. She looked b.u.t.tface up and down, and then she looked at Xu Que. She said coolly, “He boasted that he was a founding father of my Mighty Sect, and I scolded him. Do you still believe him?”

“Eh…” As Xu Que listened, he tried to keep his expression serious, but at that moment he couldn’t help but laugh. “I hate to tell you, but b.u.t.tface was really the Kylin Patriarch of your Mighty Sect.”

“What?” Zixia Fairy was seized by terror, and she frowned, saying in a low voice, “With all due respect, Xu Que, matters regarding my Mighty Sect’s Kylin Patriarch cannot be treated as a joke.”

“Ha, ha, ha, let me tell you seriously this time, it’s not a joke. In his previous life, he was really the Kylin Patriarch. Duan Jiude also personally saw this appearance, didn’t he tell you?” Xu Que smiled and said.

Back in the day, at the Nanchou Mystery Land, b.u.t.tface had gotten some Kylin Blood and successfully reverted. This was enough to prove his ident.i.ty.

Hearing this, Zixia Fairy was absolutely astounded. “b.u.t.tface has mentioned this previously, but Duan Jiude denied it…”

In midsentence, Zixia Fairy’s sharp gaze fell on Duan Jiude.

Duan Jiude’s expression changed, and he shouted, “No! I definitely didn’t see anything.”

“Oh…” Xu Que looked at him and suddenly got very happy, “Duan Jiude, this is where you’re wrong. We both personally saw b.u.t.tface swallowing the Kylin blood and reverting. How can you knowingly lie about this?”

After speaking, Xu Que smiled, and his eyes narrowed. Now he had information that he could use against Duan Jiude. He’d like to see him wiggle out of this.

“Sh*t, lad, you… Don’t speak nonsense. I didn’t see anything,” Duan Jiude panicked, waving his arms around and retreating.

b.u.t.tface jumped up from the ground in an agitated fas.h.i.+on and angrily stared at Duan Jiude, shouting loudly, “Sh*t, Duan Jiude, it turns out that you betrayed me and made me suffer a beating.”

“You’re mistaken, you’re all definitely mistaken about this,” Duan Jiude exclaimed as he backed further and further away.

“What mistake? b.u.t.tface, don’t you still have the Kylin blood essence? By swallowing a drop, won’t the truth come out?” Xu Que hugged himself, by placing his arms around his chest, as he asked with a smile. This time he was going to have the opportunity to get revenge on Duan Jiude. How could he pa.s.s it up?

“Sh*t, lad, don’t say that. When you talk about this I get angry. I don’t know what happened to the drops of Kylin blood that I had back then, but they somehow disappeared.” b.u.t.tface was very angry.

If he’d had the Kylin blood at the beginning, he wouldn’t have had to be taken by Zixia Fairy as a fake Kylin ancestor and suffered a beating for nothing.

“Ah, I almost forgot. Your blood is here with me.” Xu Que seemed to remember something and suddenly took out a small jade bottle from his pocket. He had stolen the Kylin blood from b.u.t.tface.

After all, this was the real blood of Kylin.

“Sh*t!” b.u.t.tface’s eyes got wide as he yelled, “D*mn, lad, when did you steal it?”

“AI, b.u.t.tface, keep your mouth clean. What stealing? Can the matters of cultivators be considered as stealing? I was afraid that you’d lose it, and I kept it for you,” Xu Que said as he made a face at b.u.t.tface.

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded. How did this farce suddenly change from targeting Duan Jiude to Xu Que and b.u.t.tface squabbling?

Lord Zeng shook his head and smiled. Dean Qin and the others were all confused. No one seemed to know what exactly was going on with this situation.

“D*mn, you’re a thief,” b.u.t.tface screamed angrily, raised his paws, and pointed at Xu Que. He yelled, “Sh*t, I treat you as a brother. I never thought you were so dirty. What I hate the most are thieves like you.”

His words held a sense of justice and were very powerful. But just as he’d finished speaking, an iron rod fell from his belly with a CLANG and hit the ground heavily. It rolled over twice and went directly to Xu Que’s feet.

Xu Que bent his head to look down and exclaimed, “Sh*t!” He picked up the stick, shocked, and looked at b.u.t.tface, saying, “When did you steal my Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod?”

“I didn’t steal it. You were away cultivating in the Celestial Burial Valley, and I was scared that you would lose it, so I took care of it. This isn’t stealing.” b.u.t.tface was an outrageous liar.

“Okay, okay, let’s not fight anymore. Let me say something in the name of fairness.” Duan Jiude took advantage of the situation and said sincerely, “The two of you are the same. The important thing is that you both know that you’re wrong, but you’re never going to change, right?”

The whole audience was speechless. “That’s not how you try to stop people from fighting? What the heck is he saying? What does he mean by this anyway?What kind of logic is that?”

“Teacher Duan makes complete sense,” b.u.t.tface calmed down and nodded.

“That’s right,” Xu Que also nodded and lit a fake cigarette, breathing it in deeply, and blowing out a smoke ring. “It’s good that you know you’re wrong. Next time you commit the same mistake, you’ll be prepared.”

“???” Everyone stared at these three, rolled their eyes, and felt like they were going to faint. “What the heck was going on? Saying that Duan Jiude made sense? What kind of people are these?”

The Litian Academy’s Dean Qin and the other influential leaders looked at each other, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh. Indeed, Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and b.u.t.tface had definitely lived up to their reputations. These three were not normal people.

“Have you all quite finished?” At this moment, Zixia Fairy who had been watching coldly from the sidelines suddenly asked icily. Her gaze fixed on Xu Que and Duan Jiude, as she said indifferently, “So now, who wants to try to explain this matter to me?”

“Let me try,” Xu Que raised his hand and volunteered himself confidently, angrily pointing at Duan Jiude. “Regarding this matter, Duan Jiude is the mastermind. He can be said to have deceived his masters and destroyed his ancestors and should be severely punished.”

“Sh*t! ” Duan Jiude cursed loudly, as his expression changed and he turned around to escape.

Zixia Fairy frowned darkly. Why was the truth of the matter not clear? She immediately flicked her wrists, and wisps of flickering purple light swept out, rus.h.i.+ng directly toward Duan Jiude, tying up his hands and feet and binding him to his original spot.

“Ah,” Duan Jiude immediately screamed in shock and started to wail, ” Master, Master, I’m wrong, senior, I’m at fault, I’m not a person, I shouldn’t have deceived you.”

“You…” Zixia Fairy said coldly.

BOOM!

Just as the word left her mouth, a deafening sound rang out across the Heaven Fire Ice Lake behind them.

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to take a look. The Heaven Fire Ice Lake showed no movement and was perfectly calm, without any change whatsoever. But the rumbling below the ice lake continued.

“Look quickly, the heavenly fire at the center of the lake seems to have become smaller.” At this moment, someone pointed at the center of the Ice Lake and cheered in surprise.

Xu Que also raised his head and fixed his gaze on it, feeling an unusual oppressiveness coming from the flames. This was a feeling he’d never felt before.

“Unsurprisingly, the land here is strange and not as simple as we thought,” Lord Zeng seemed serious as he spoke in a low voice.

“Ah, why can’t I seem to remember what this place is,” b.u.t.tface hit his head with a puzzled look on his face, unable to recall the details of his memory.

“Eh?There seems to be a prohibition spell hidden here,” Zixia Fairy seemed to have discovered something and took one step forward. At the frozen lake, she waved her arms.

SWOOs.h.!.+

A gust of wind blew past, and the piles of snow on the lake suddenly became glittering and translucent. Everyone’s gazes could see right through the clear lake, right to the bottom.

HISS!

The next moment, the whole group breathed in cold air in shock. “This…what’s this?”
