Chapter 639: I Have to Call for Reinforcements
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
That day, Xu Que’s words were disseminated. He felt guilty because he killed too many people, so he destroyed his cultivation and wouldn’t get involved in anything occurring in the World of Cultivators. What he wanted was only to become an ordinary person.
After receiving this news, all the big families and sects sneered.
Did he destroy his cultivation because he felt guilty for killing so many people?
That guy would be the last one who could feel guilty in this world!
Apparently, he planned to cultivate his Taoist Connotation after destroying his cultivation achievements!
The Jiang Family announced publicly that day, “Self-destruction of cultivation is not enough. The Jiang Family could spare his life if he returns the Spirit Stones and apologizes for his offense by kowtowing to the Jiang Family.”
The Gong Family and the Bai Family made similar announcements, saying Xu Que should return the Spirit Stones and apologize for his offense.
However, the Carefree Building’s att.i.tude was quite firm: Xu Que would be killed!
…
Although most people had left for the South Continent for the Mystery Land Trial, Xu Que’s appearance still brought the East Continent into an uproar. He had declared he wanted to be an ordinary person, but countless people still planned to kill him to obtain his Spirit Stones!
Several days later, someone received news that Xu Que appeared on a mountain path. Numerous people, mostly from the big families and sects, immediately swarmed there, including some powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage. However, none of them returned after entering the mountain. Their sudden disappearance made the situation quite creepy!
The next day, Xu Que appeared in an ancient city and announced reverently, “My fellow cultivators, please stop bothering me. I am just an ordinary person!”
b.u.t.tface also emphasized, “I could guarantee with my n.o.ble wolfality that he has reformed himself thoroughly. Please, just let him go!”
…
Meanwhile, in a branch encampment of the Jiang Family, several powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage frowned after receiving the news. “It seems the news is wrong; he has left the mountain. Call back those who had been sent to kill him before. This time, let’s kill him personally!”
The situation in the Gong Family was similar to that of the Bai Family. Several powerhouses sneered, “He can stop his fantastic dream of being an ordinary person! Now, he is just like a useless ant; he can only live in panic in the East Continent, and n.o.body can harbor him!”
Almost all geniuses at the Void Training Stage of the Carefree Building had left for the South Continent. Now, only some sovereigns at the Infant Transformation Stage were left. After knowing Xu Que’s whereabouts, they also set off to kill him.
“No one who is targeted by the Carefree Building can survive,” they announced, showing their determination of giving Xu Que his certain death.
The cultivators of the East Continent paid attention to the plans of the big families and sects and wanted to know what would finally happen to Xu Que.
Three days had pa.s.sed. All cultivators who tried to kill Xu Que disappeared, one after another.
Xu Que, however, the so-called ordinary person, frequently appeared in some ancient cities. His sincere announcement would always be, “My fellow cultivators, I really like my life as an ordinary person. I hope you can stop bothering me, please!”
…
One month later, people realized something was wrong. A lot of cultivators from the big families and sects disappeared. However, Xu Que kept showing up frequently and always declared his ident.i.ty as an ordinary person. It was so creepy!
One day, Xu Que arrived at an ancient city. He prepared to have something to eat and take a rest.
Whoos.h.!.+
Suddenly, dozens of figures dashed over and landed on the ground, surrounding him. There were more than 20 powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage, and their momentum was quite terrifying.
A lot of disbanded cultivators who pa.s.sed by the ancient city were startled by this sudden event, so they quickly became onlookers.
“Holy c.r.a.p! It’s him! After hanging around for over a month, he was finally found by those big families and sects,” someone said, feeling sympathy for Xu Que.
“He is stupid. Since he had decided to be an ordinary person, he could just quietly live in a remote village!”
“You are stupid! This area has long been abandoned. If the Ancient Bronze Hall didn’t show up, we wouldn’t have come to this place. How could he survive here as an ordinary person?”
“Right! However, he is still quite foolish. Before his self-destruction of cultivation, he didn’t go to the center of the East Continent. I’m afraid he can’t leave this area in his life as an ordinary person, let alone go to the center of the East Continent!”
Shaking his head and smiling sarcastically, someone else said, “Heh heh, you over-thought it. Now, he has been surrounded by so many seniors at the Infant Transformation Stage. His life will end here!”
While the onlookers were chatting, the dozens of powerhouses surrounding Xu Que were still staring at him with cold smiles on their faces. He felt horrible pressure. Dozens of powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage were really horrible! Some disbanded cultivators couldn’t watch it anymore and started to exclaim.
They knew clearly that Xu Que used to be an extremely powerful cultivator before his self-destruction of cultivation. He killed thousands of cultivators alone and seriously wounded more than 200 powerhouses at the Void Training Stage. Therefore, he should be the most powerful sovereign in the East Continent since the beginning of its history! It was a pity to see him surrounded by dozens of mediocre cultivators at the Infant Transformation Stage and the Original Infant Stage.
“Alas! If he still had his cultivation, these people would be just like ants before him!” a girl exclaimed among the onlookers. She felt sorry for Xu Que’s situation. Girls always adored powerhouses, so she couldn’t help but utter her inner voice.
The old man beside her was shocked by her words. He covered her mouth immediately and said, “Mind your words!” If her words were heard by those powerhouses, the old man and his granddaughter might be killed before Xu Que.
Luckily, those people were concentrating on Xu Que.
One of the powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage said, “Xu Que, surrender all your Spirit Stones. Then, you should come to our Jiang Family and kowtow for three years to apologize for your offense! If you refuse, you will be killed now!”
A powerhouse at the Original Infant Stage of the Gong Family stepped out and said with a cold smile, “Xu Que, if you want to live, after kowtowing for three years in the Jiang Family, you should come to our Gong Family and kowtow for another three years!”
“Six years later, you should kowtow for another three years in our Bai Family!”
“Ha ha, in this way, our Illusionary Flower and Moon Sect has to wait for 12 years before he could kowtow in our sect!”
“It doesn’t matter. After that, he should also kowtow in our Drifting Cloud Sect!”
“d.a.m.n! How is this issue related to your Drifting Cloud Sect?”
“He has also offended us before. One of our apprentices was attacked by his lightning! We have to avenge him!”
…
Before the fight, they even started to discuss the disposal of Xu Que by making a schedule for him to apologize for his offense to the big families and sects in his life. However, they were just kidding. They knew Xu Que would definitely be killed that day. An ordinary person could only accept his fate of being killed like an ant!
Moreover, a lot of sovereigns of the Carefree Building at the Infant Transformation Stage had come. All of them had announced they would never spare Xu Que’s life!
“Alas!” Xu Que sighed slightly and said, “This t.i.t-for-tat will last forever. I have destroyed my cultivation. You still don’t want to let me go! Are you going to force me to call my friends in the Exploding Heavens Faction?”
The Exploding Heavens Faction? Hearing his words, the powerhouses sneered.
“I’ve never heard your so-called Exploding Heavens Faction! Do you think you could scare us with the name of an unknown sect?” a powerhouse said sarcastically.
“This is the East Continent, which is under our control! Even the big sects from the South Continent have to kneel here!”
“You should know your situation. Now, kneel down and kowtow to us. We could spare your life temporarily!”
Those powerhouses didn’t want to kill Xu Que immediately. They knew the seniors of their families or sects used to be fooled by Xu Que. They planned to double the size of their retaliation.
“Alas!” Xu Que sighed again and waved his hand. “In that case, I have to call for reinforcement from the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
After saying that, Xu Que looked up at the sky and yelled loudly, “The heavenly king overshadows the ground tiger! Stewed chicken with mushroom! I am Xu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Members of the Exploding Heavens Faction who are in this area, I need your help!”
Swis.h.!.+
The entire area fell silent instantly. All the cultivators were dumbfounded and looked at Xu Que as if they were looking at a fool.
What the h.e.l.l?
Is he insane? How can he call for help in this way?
Do you really think the members of your Exploding Heavens Faction are ubiquitous?
Boom! The next moment, a thunderclap came from the cloudy sky.
After that, more than ten figures appeared. They all had snow-white, long hair and wore black robes embroidered with red clouds. With formidable momentum, all these cultivators were at Level 9 of the Infant Transformation Stage.
All at once, their horrible pressure gushed out and suppressed everyone in the area. Their deafening roars were echoing in the sky…
“Hua Wuque of the Exploding Heavens Faction has arrived to protect you!”
“Ye Liangchen of the Exploding Heavens Faction has arrived to protect you!”
“Xue Zhiqian of the Exploding Heavens Faction has arrived to protect you!”
“Da Shui Yu of the Exploding Heavens Faction has arrived to protect you!”
“Wu Wu Kai of the Exploding Heavens Faction has arrived to protect you!”
