Ultimate Scheming System

“Sh*t!”

“Sh*t! This sh*t came so unexpectedly,” Buttface and Duan Jiude were shouting.

With the IQs of these two cunning creatures, surely they’d immediately understood what was going on here. Everyone had obviously recognized them and realized that they must know the whereabouts of Xu Que and his father. Thus, they were ready to interrogate them.

“Ha, ha, ha, this is really interesting. I’ve been saying that I wanted to come back to do whatever I wanted, even if it means killing people, but I didn’t expect a victim to show up so soon,” Buttface sneered and crossed his forelegs, with a proud face, full of confidence.

He knew that the real cultivation stage of Xu Que had reached the Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, and, even more important, Zixia Fairy, a real powerhouse, was with them. There was absolutely no need to fear this group of cultivators.

“You little wretches, greedily desperate for your lousy benefits, I, an old man, am just standing here. You people, if you have any balls, come catch me,” Duan Jiude was full of arrogance without a touch of fear, and, literally, he was actively provoking and encouraging people to beat him.

“You are looking for death,” out of the crowd of onlookers, a cultivator at the Golden Celestial stage snorted coldly and stepped up.

“Death? That’s ridiculous. Do I, an old man, look like I’m afraid of death? Today I, the old man, am here to promise that even if you kill me or throw me out of here to die outside, I’ll never tell you that this boy is Xu Que,” Duan Jiude shouted in a strong voice, as powerful as a bell sounding.

All the people present hesitated, and, the next second, all their eyes turned to Xu Que.

“Master Duan, you are awesome. You’ve shocked them into motionlessness,” shouted Buttface.

“Master Buttface, I’m really flattered,” said Duan Jiude, showing off in an ostentatious manner.

This stupid dog…

Mo Junchen and the others felt their mouths twitch, and, shaking their heads, were rendered speechless.

Suddenly, from the crowd of onlookers, someone looked at Xu Que and asked,

“Are you actually Xu Que?”

Buttface immediately looked odd as he said, “Sh*t, how’d you know?”

However, everyone was too occupied to pay any attention to Buttface at the moment. All of their attention was focused on Xu Que.

They wanted to catch Buttface and Duan Jiude simply because they wanted to get out of them the whereabouts of Xu Que and his father. Then they could go to the Sage Sect, the Heaven Palace Academy, and the Divine Farmer Clan to collect their rewards.

But now that Xu Que had presented himself, what was the use of Buttface and Duan Jiude?

“Oh, this is really boring,” Xu Que said, smiling, without a touch of fear.

Not only was he now at the Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, he was with Zixia Fairy, who alone was enough to crush them all.

He was really bored.

“A group of nobodies…I’m really not interested in killing you wretches, mainly because killing you people is not beneficial to me,” Xu Que cleaned his ear with his finger, his face full of contempt.

“What was the good of killing these people? He couldn’t get either experience or valuable treasures. What was the point?”

“Shut up!”

“You, only a Cultivator of the Human Celestial Stage, how dare you bluster here?”

“Even with a Guardian of the Golden Celestial Stage, you aren’t allowed to be arrogant here.”

“Remember my words from the Pale Blood Faction, you people can’t possibly walk out of Severe Gale City alive today.”

“I, a member of the Flying Ghost Sect, have already sent a signal. When my Sect Leader and the Sect Elders show up, show me your arrogance again.”

The onlookers had gotten instantly angry and felt humiliated by Xu Que, so they all scolded him angrily.

Among the tens of thousands of people here, the highest stage was only the Heaven Celestial stage, and they dared not do anything rash. After all, Mo Junchen, a cultivator of the Golden Celestial stage, was still standing right there beside Xu Que.

Moreover, the accomplishments of Zixia Fairy were already at the stage of Celestial King. As long as she didn’t show it, no one could see her true stage.

Even Mo Junchen had once thought that she was just at the stage of Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. No one had known the true strength of Zixia Fairy until Xuanyuan Wanrong had told them the truth.

At the moment, Zixia Fairy stood on the side calmly. Her true appearance was hidden. Her true temperament could not be discerned. However, most people were concerned with the strength that they could see, so Mo Junchen, at the Golden Celestial stage, was getting the most attention.

“Stop,” at that moment, a shout rang out over Severe Gale City.

All the people looked up and saw several figures in the clouds sweeping across the sky, with blood lights and fierce anger.

HISS! “It’s the people of the Dark Shadow Pagoda.”

“Wait a minute, it’s the master, Ji Wuyun of the Dark Shadow Pagoda.”

“He’s actually in Severe Gale City.”

“By the way, I heard recently that he was looking for medicine for his brother everywhere and might come to Severe Gale City.”

“But what’s he doing here? Although I’d heard that the Dark Shadow Pagoda remained neutral and didn’t want to take any part in the search for Xu Que’s father, now he’s come here. Does he want to rescue Xu Que?”

“Ha, ha, ha, he and his brother are unable to protect themselves. Do you think they dare to meddle?”

“This isn’t necessarily true. It’s said that Ji Wuyun has a good relationship with Xu Que’s father. If Xu Que’s father is willing to help him, I’m afraid his brother has the possibility of regaining the position of Divine Son.”

“No way! You mean you think Xu Que’s father can cure Ji Wufeng’s injury?”

“Sure as h*ll, have you forgotten about the story of the Holy Ground of the Jade Lake? It’s said that it was because Xu Que’s father slept in the Peach Garden several times that he cured it of sickness. Moreover, it is rumored in the city that a female disciple of the Jade Lake was seriously injured and there was no cure, but after sleeping with Xu Que’s father once, she recovered on the spot.”

People were constantly talking about it, and the more they talked about it, the more the story became ridiculous.

Xu Que was almost stunned when he heard this. “When did he sleep with a female disciple of the Jade Lake? This was absurd.”

However, just as he was shaking his head and starting to smile, he suddenly felt a coldness on his back from someone staring at him with an evil look.

“Sh*t, Qingxuan, why are you staring at me? Do you really believe what they said? The story about the female disciple of Jade Lake has nothing to do with me,” Xu Que looked at Zixia Fairy and said.

Zixia Fairy looked indifferent, “I know, they are talking about your father, not you.”

“Well, no, even that, my father has never slept with a female disciple of the Jade Lake. PAH! My father is me, myself. Anyway, that is just a rumor,” Xu Que explained with a smile.

“Really? So they’re slandering you?” Zixia Fairy frowned.

“Yes, it’s slander, it’s darkening my name,” Xu Que nodded, relieved. Thank God, this time at least Zixia Fairy was acting reasonably.

“Then I’ll help you kill them,” Zixia Fairy said coldly, a murderous look beginning to emerge.

“I have no problem with that,” Xu Que nodded and said.

But the next second, Zixia Fairy’s murderous look suddenly stopped, and she stared at Xu Que coldly, “Sure enough, you want them dead because the dead cannot give witness.”

“I…”

“Sh*t, woman!”

Xu Que was flabbergasted. He almost spouted a mouthful of blood from anger. “How could she really act like this?

“If I want to kill them, it’ll be because I want to let this matter die out without a witness?

“Can you be more reasonable?

“Can a woman, even an immortal, be so unreasonable?”

“Brother Xu!”

Just then, Ji Wuyun and his entourage had already landed and were coming toward Xu Que.

“Ah, brother Ji!” Xu Que smiled.

In the past, as Xu Que’s father, he’d met Ji Wuyun in the ruins of the Tianxiang Celestial Realm. Ji Wuyun had lent him a Celestial Artifact, which he’d recycled to the System, adding Weapon-Refining Essence to achieve his Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod.

Later, he’d told Ji Wuyun that when he had the opportunity to return to the Qisha Celestial Realm, he’d return his artifact. However, he hadn’t expected this coincidence on landing in the Qisha Celestial Realm.

“Eh? Brother Xu knows me?” Ji Wuyun was a little shocked.

“My father once mentioned Brother Ji,” Xu Que explained with a smile.

“Oh? That’s great. I wonder if your respected father has entrusted you with the mission of returning something to me?” Ji Wuyun looked delighted.

“No, I’m not familiar with him. You have to go to him. I still have something important to do. Let’s talk about it next time,” Xu Que said, and immediately turned to leave.

“Are you kidding me? Why on earth should I, as the Act-Tough Saint, return the Celestial Artifact that I borrowed?”
