The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Xu Que didn’t go to the Ancient Bronze Hall again. He knew a lot of people were still wandering there, trying to enter the hall.
To avoid trouble, Xu Que headed east. He slowed down his pace to enjoy the long-lost life of an ordinary person!
However, this tranquil life only lasted for two days.
In this area, there were still a large number of cultivators. Many powerhouses had given up on wasting time there, but some cultivators at lower cultivation stages still wanted to try their luck!
A lot of people around made the area bustle. Someone built a town and established hotels. Both cultivators and ordinary people came to this town to do business.
After entering the town, Xu Que and Buttface didn’t attract too much attention.
Someone looked at Xu Que and Buttface and smiled disdainfully, “The partnership of a man and a dog reminds me of Xu Que, but it turned out that the guy was just an ordinary person!”
Xu Que ignored that person. With a faint smile, he reminded Buttface in a low voice that it was better this way and stopped him from exposing their identities by talking recklessly!
They arrived at a hotel. Inside the hotel, several cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage were shooting the breeze. Besides the Ancient Bronze Hall, Xu Que was one of their hottest topics.
Xu Que planned to get information about the situation outside. Therefore, he sat in a corner with Buttface and sat in an understated way, only ordering a pot of tea.
Soon, the conversation of those cultivators came into his ears.
“Eh? Do you know where that guy is hiding? Could it be that he was killed?”
“It’s hard to say! Now, all big families and sects are hunting him. He’s wanted by the entire East Continent. It’ll be very difficult for him to survive.”
“Even worse, he’s even wanted in the South Continent, the West Desert, and the North Sea!”
“I have to admit, he really is a tough guy!”
“The Carefree Building hates him to the core. They sent word out that anyone who could provide his whereabouts will be admitted by the Carefree Building! Anyone who can kill him will be appointed as a Hall Lord of the Carefree Building!”
“Holy sh*t! This is definitely a big move by the Carefree Building! The three big families didn’t want to be outdone. They offered a bounty of 5,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones for his whereabouts!”
“Haha, 5,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones? Everyone knows that guy has 20,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones with him, which makes him a target for all!”
The cultivators started to laugh loudly.
Xu Que also smiled. He had anticipated the situation of becoming the common enemy of the world.
However, just at this moment, a cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage joined them in a hurry and joined the cultivators. Then this cultivator said anxiously, “I have the latest news from the Carefree Building. Xu Que might have destroyed his cultivation and hidden away to restart his cultivation!”
“What? Is this for real? That means even we have the chance to...” The rest of the cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage had bright eyes and became quite excited.
They were no match for a cultivator at the Infant Transformation Stage. They could only talk about it privately. However, it was easy for them to handle an ordinary person who had destroyed his cultivation!
Many cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage were tempted, let alone cultivators at the Foundation Building and the Golden Core Stages!
After the release of this news, Xu Que became the authentic common enemy of the world. Even cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage wouldn’t let him go!
“Eh? What the hell? How could they know that? Could that she-devil have...” Buttface said in a low voice, startled.
Xu Que also frowned. Besides Buttface, only Liu Jingning knew he intended to destroy his cultivation.
Buttface had been with him the whole time. Therefore, Buttface couldn’t have disclosed this news. As a smart woman, Liu Jingning also wouldn’t have spilled the beans ...
“It’s absolutely true! At that time, Xu Que was leaving with the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction. Someone who happened to pass by heard Xu Que say he would destroy his cultivation. Later, the Utopia Faction’s Holy Virgin left angrily. It seems a secret relationship exists between them!” a cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage said in a low voice at that moment.
“What a coincidence! Is it for sure?” someone questioned.
The cultivator smiled, “The passerby didn’t disclose the news. He tried to search for Xu Que along with his friends, but they couldn’t locate Xu Que after several months of searching. Therefore, he sold the news to the Carefree Building and collected a lot of rewards. Now the Carefree Building has released the news to corner Xu Que!”
“Haha, this is becoming more and more interesting! Any combination of a man and a dog could be Xu Que and his pet!” someone cracked a joke.
However, after hearing his words, the entire hotel immediately fell silent.
The next moment, countless chilly eyes fixed on Xu Que and Buttface, who were sitting in the corner of the hotel.
“Sh*t! This is quite embarrassing!” Buttface cursed in a low voice.
Xu Que was still smiling calmly, although he didn’t expect their conversation could be heard by passersby.
He picked up the cup and took a sip of his tea like no one was watching him, then he said with a faint smile, “Guys, don’t misunderstand. I’m not Xu Que. My name is Ding Yizhen. I’m the Deputy Mayor of Jingzhou City of the Handong Province and the incarnation of Secretary Dakang. Being hunted by my enemy Hou Liangping, I had to escape to this area. Now I want to go back and retrieve my precious illicit money, so that I can stage a comeback. However, I need 50 Yuan to pay the fuel surcharge for my air ticket. Please help me! You can transfer the money through WeChat. I’ll present you a grand reward in the future. I hereby thank you all on behalf of Secretary Dakang!”
Ding Yizhen? Incarnation of Secretary Dakang?
His words confused everyone in the hotel totally.
A group of cultivators stood up simultaneously and vigilantly surrounded Xu Que.
The Carefree Building and the big families had distributed Xu Que’s portraits everywhere, yet it was impossible for everyone to know his appearance. However, the combination of a man and a dog would naturally attract attention and arouse suspicion.
Some cultivators who had recognized Xu Que were about to leave the hotel. Apparently, they were afraid that Xu Que hadn’t destructed his cultivation, so they planned to inform the big families and sects.
“It’s over, little brat. Stop acting, we’ve been compromised!” Buttface said frustratedly. However, he kept rolling his eyes. Apparently, he was planning to flee alone.
Xu Que was exceptionally calm. He wasn’t worried for his safety after the destruction of his cultivation. As long as his Taoist Body was with him, he would be fearless!
Moreover, he hadn’t fully comprehended his Taoist Connotation yet. Therefore, killing was still an option!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the entrance of the hotel. The guy, whose face was covered by a black cloth, looked quite strong. His magnificent aura startled everyone in the hotel.
“This... is the aura of a cultivator at the Infant Transformation Stage!” some cultivators stepped back in terror, their faces ashen.
However, that guy just ignored those cultivators. He looked at Xu Que and delivered a message in a low voice, “Lord Xu, Holy Virgin Liu asked me to escort you out of this place!”
After saying that, he leaned on the doorframe and cleared a path to prove he wasn’t lying.
Xu Que was stunned, then he smiled, “Where is she?”
The masked man continued to deliver his message, “Two months ago, the Mystery Land Trial in the South Continent commenced. Our Holy Virgin and the people of the big families and sects left for that. However, there are still a lot of powerhouses here. You’d better leave!”
“Eh!” Xu Que nodded. Anyway, no matter if the man’s words were true or false, as long as he decided to leave, no one could stop him!
After taking a sip of tea calmly, Xu Que stood up and said, “Guys, please tell the Carefree Building and the other big families and sects that I’m ashamed of my bloodthirsty behavior; now, I’ve seen past the material world. Therefore, I have destructed my cultivation by myself and plan on living as an ordinary person. Please don’t bother my peaceful and quiet life!”
After saying that, he stepped towards the gate of the hotel. When he passed by the masked man, he stopped for a short while and said with a smile, “I didn’t bring any money with me. Please help me pay the bill, thanks!”
“As you wish!” the masked man nodded. His words were saturated with reverence towards Xu Que. He didn’t show any aggression. On the contrary, he looked at the cultivators in the hotel coldly to manifest that he was there to escort Xu Que!
Those cultivators could do nothing. Compared to the masked man, they were like ants, so they could only follow Xu Que with their eyes.
