As soon as they heard the name “Xu Que”, everyone in the main hall was stunned.
In fact, Xu Que had already become quite a famous figure in the East Continent, and they were very shocked that Xu Que was right there in front of their eyes.
“How on earth did he come here?”
“I heard that he has destroyed his own cultivation and become an ordinary.”
Hearing this, a cultivator sneered. “You call him an ordinary? You are too naive indeed! You have been staying inside the Utopia Faction for too many years and have no idea what has happened outside!”
“It’s only been two years; there can’t have been such a big change in the outside world!”
“Three years ago, we in Utopia Faction went to the South Continent for the Mystery Land Trial, and, you know what, our fellow citizens all came back in less than a year and brought with them big news!”
“What? They came back in less than a year?”
“Yes! And back in that time, this young man Xu Que was also there. He was still an ordinary but somehow he managed to crush the huge boats of both the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe and the Prevailing Wind Pavilion in the Upflowing Sea. All the cultivators from the two Factions died, then he killed the cultivators who were left....”
“My goodness! Had any of our people been killed?”
“No, since Xu Que is a good friend of our Holy Virgin, he let us leave and return home before it all started.”
“It would seem then that this young man is quite nice!”
“Nonsense! How do you make that out? If you had seen how he killed them you would definitely be frightened to death!”
The cultivators of the Utopia Faction were all in a heated discussion.
The few Sect Elders of the Utopia Faction were rather upset and looked alertly at Xu Que, as if they were looking at someone who was going to cause them huge trouble.
While the head of the Utopia Faction stayed rather calm, he stared at Xu Que and said, “My dear friend, I have been told that you forced my fellows to come back during the Mystery Land Trial and in this way saved their lives. But now you come to create trouble for me. I am wondering what are your real intentions.”
“I am sorry? Who said I ever forced your fellows to go away? I would never do such a thing! Jingning, you know what had really happened, tell them!”
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was surprised. She thought Xu Que was about to leave and didn’t realize he had changed his mind so quickly and dared to speak against the head of the Utopia Faction.
“Little Queque, you can’t be rude!” Liu Jingning glared at Xu Que and was afraid that he would really get into a fight with the head of the Utopia Faction.
Then, she turned to the head of the Utopia Faction and said, “I think you have misunderstood him. Little...oh, no, Xu Que is not an enemy of our Utopia Faction. The reason we asked my peers to leave was because we were afraid that they might be hurt. Besides, Xu Que helped us to get a huge amount of Living Holy Water.”
Liu Jingning quickly took out a jade bottle and handed it to the head of the Utopia Faction.
“You have got the Living Holy Water?” The head was very surprised. He held the bottle in his hands and began to check it. He was amazed to find that there was a huge amount of Living Holy Water inside it, which was totally unexpected.
Xu Que found that the head of the Utopia Faction did not know too much about what had happened in the outside world, particularly what had happened after the Mysterious Land Trial. This might be because the Utopia Faction was located at the very edge of the East Continent.
He does not even know I have dug out the Living Holy Tree and have punched a Patriarch of the Form Synthesis Stage to death. Great! I think I will take this opportunity to act tough again!
Thinking of this, Xu Que smiled.
“My dear friend, I am sorry that I have misunderstood you!” The head of the Utopia Faction smiled. After all, the head of the Utopia Faction could not possibly apologize to Xu Que. He was just putting on a show. In his view, Xu Que was just a young cultivator who was good at tricking people and could never be regarded as a Holy Son.
Xu Que in fact did not care if the head of the Utopia Faction truly meant to say sorry or not. He waved his hand and smiled. “You are being too polite!”
Hearing this, the head of the Utopia Faction smiled and nodded and was very satisfied with Xu Que’s attitude.
Liu Jingning also smiled and even felt a bit happy. She knew that Xu Que was doing this for her.
Right at this moment, the young man standing next to the old man in the red robe sneered. “I see, you are Xu Que! Before we headed here, we had been told that there was a old Patriarch of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe intending to kill you. I never thought you would still be alive. I guess the Patriarch must have left in advance. Otherwise, you would already be dead by now!”
Hearing this, everyone in the main hall was shocked.
The Patriarch of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe was ambushing him outside the Mysterious Land? How on earth did this young man escape being killed? He is really a lucky man!
...
Xu Que smiled. “Oh, you mean the Patriarch of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe? I am sorry to tell you that he is dead.”
What?! He is dead?!
Everyone looked at Xu Que in great confusion.
Xu Que touched his fist with one hand and smiled. “I punched him to death with only three shots. His body was crushed to pieces or I would be very happy to use his flesh to make Beef Wraps.”
Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
You killed the Patriarch of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe with only three shots? You must be lying. He is in the Form Synthesis Stage for god’s sake! You think we are all idiots to believe your words?!
Everyone shook their heads, even the head of the Utopia Faction, and began to stare at Xu Que coldly.
The young man laughed out loud. “My friend, I finally know why there are so many people who want to kill you! I suggest you should work hard while you are still young, stop daydreaming, and don’t make yourself ridiculous in front of us.” He then shook his head and his eyes were full of scorn, as if he was looking at a clown.
Liu Jingning did not know how she could make everyone believe what Xu Que had done. After all, what he did was really hard to imagine; even those who saw it found it hard to believe.
“You are so ignorant! I suggest you go out to see the world, read more newspapers, and watch more news. You are really embarrassing!”
Xu Que sneered at the young man.
The young man’s face turned furious instantly. “How dare you! Do you have any idea who you are talking to?”
“Screw you!” Xu Que said gently.
“You...” The young man was completely surprised by Xu Que’s words. His eyes opened wide.
“Screw you,” Xu Que said again.
“I will kill you!” The young man was so angry that he was about to attack Xu Que.
...
“Enough!” Li Tangshan shouted aloud.
He looked at Xu Que coldly, and then turned to the head of the Utopia Faction.
“Today we have come here so my son can make a proposal to the Holy Virgin. Please get Xu Que out of here!”
“I have said, I am against the engagement!” Xu Que repeated.
Hearing this, Li Tangshan’s face turned black, and he was about to attack Xu Que.
Right at this moment, the young man suddenly said, “You said you disagree. I don’t care! I have brought the betrothal presents. You can’t stop me!” Then, he sneered and waved his hand.
The Storage Ring on his finger began to shine and the next minute, a pile of treasures appeared on the ground. “We have brought an Array of High Level, one million top-quality Spiritual Stones, and some magical weapons. I am going to ask Liu Jingning to marry me!”
