Ultimate Scheming System

Night fell.

Nishang Fairy and Qiu Zili had escaped, and the day’s world-shaking performance had come to an end.

Under the fearful and awestruck gazes of the onlookers, Xu Que and his party left, accompanied by Ji Wuyun, and returned to the backyard of the Ji Family.

The gates of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect were teeming with people. Everyone from the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, including the Sect Leader and their Celestial Kings, had come to meet Xu Que and his team.

This was an unprecedented spectacle in the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, people arriving just to welcome someone.

Everyone already knew about everything that had happened outside the city. The statement that Xu Que and the Exploding Heavens Faction had made during this day’s events was enough to shock any group on the Heaven Continent. No one would be willing to fight against the terrifying force of the Exploding Heavens Faction.

Ji Qinghan was very confused and followed along behind them, with her head bowed as she remained silent.

She felt regretful as well as helpless. She hadn’t expected a guy who looked like he was at the Human Celestial Stage to suddenly become so demonic in the blink of an eye. He’d killed ten Celestial Kings and then destroyed a humanoid lightning. Immediately following that, he’d forced Heaven to recall a test, before finally hunting down two powerful Celestial Primes and making them turn tails and run away in fear.

In the entire Heaven Continent, no one else could’ve done even one of these things. And now, Xu Que had done all of these things!

Looking at Xu Que basking in the limelight, Ji Qinghan shook her head bitterly.

Those who had been revered in the past, such as the Master of the Ji Family, the Masters of the other families in the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, their Sect Leader, even the Celestial Kings, had now become as insignificant as the stars beside the bright moon.

The starlight they emitted, just like the stars sprinkled all around the moon, served only as a foil to Xu Que’s strength.

“Sister, don’t be like this. In fact, I didn’t even think that Brother Xu could’ve had such a background and be even more capable than his father.” Ji Wuyun noticed Ji Qinghan’s expression and comforted her, his face full of emotion.

Ji Qinghan shook her head slightly and smiled bitterly. “Even if you’d known about it in advance and mentioned it, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

Ji Wuyun knew exactlly what she was talking about. “I agree. If I’d heard this, I also wouldn’t have believed it.”

…..

On the same day, accompanied by various distinguished dignitaries of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, Xu Que and his party took a walk around the premises.

Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and Buttface assumed the same pose, with their hands on their hips, chests out, walking in the center of the crowd. They maintained their positions in the middle as if they were inspecting all the crowds as they walked around the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect.

When Xu Que reached the backyard of the Ji Family, he performed an act of goodwill on Ji Wuyun’s behalf.

He deliberately mentioned Ji Wuyun’s brother’s Ji Wufeng’s injury, and a Celestial King immediately promised to go find an the Immortal Elixir and personally heal Ji Wufeng. With a Celestial King willing to help, Ji Wufeng’s injury would no longer be a problem.

The Ji Family was so grateful for this. However, in reality, they also harbored a lot of sadness. They were members of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, and yet it was only on account of Xu Que, an outsider, that these Celestial Kings were willing to help them.

Xu Que realized this, but he didn’t say anything. These Celestial Kings knew that they’d been wrong, and Xu Que really didn’t want to get involved in the internal affairs of the sect.

After dealing with this Ji Family matter, Xu Que bade farewell to the people of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect and prepared to leave.

On one hand, he was in a hurry to rush back to the Ziwei Celestial Realm, find the Heaven Palace Academy to settle his scores, and rescue Jiang Hongyan.

On the other hand, he didn’t want to stay in Tian Sha City any longer.

He was very certain that at the very moment, the Heaven Palace Academy and the Sage Sect, as well as some other powerful Celestial Kings, were on their way here.

These people definitely wouldn’t have known yet about what’d happened in Tian Sha City. Once they arrived, they would have an advantage in numbers, and they might not believe everything that’d happened in Tian Sha City. At that time, there would inevitably be a battle.

Xu Que was only a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. Even with his strength, he couldn’t summon the Heavenly Tribulations. If he were faced with so many Celestial Kings, he’d have no choice but to escape.

Therefore, it was better to leave first. And, if they moved quickly enough, they could also take advantage of the absence of powerful figures from the Heaven Palace Academy and the Sage Sect when they were trying to rescue Jiang Hongyan.

So, that night, Xu Que and his party enthusiastically bid farewell to the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect. They teleported to the Ziwei Celestial Realm.

On that same day, the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect realized that countless precious medicinal herbs and weapons were missing from their treasure troves. After the various major families counted up their damages, the losses were huge.

This was the only time this had ever happened in the history of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect.

“D*mn, this was definitely done by Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude,” a Celestial King exclaimed. “The Exploding Heavens Faction sucks!” He beat his chest and roared.

However, apart from the shouts, no one talked about the need to take revenge on the Exploding Heavens Faction, and this matter eventually quieted down.

…..

A few days later, in the Ziwei Celestial Realm, in the hall of the Sage Sect, several Elders sat, smiling and having a good time.

The former Elder Ming Qianchuan had now become the new Sect Leader of the Sage Sect.

A few months ago, Xu Que had created an uproar in the Sage Sect and killed half of their ancestors. When Sect Leader Xiao Tienhen had opened the ancestral gate, he’d angered other ancestors and been killed on the spot. Ming Qianchuan had been appointed as the new Sect Leader by these same ancestors.

Although this had been a hasty choice, Ming Qianchuan already had an extraordinary status in the Sage Sect. On one hand, this was because of the reputation of the Ming Family, and, on the other hand, it was because he had a son with a Divine Being.

So his journey to becoming the Sect Leader was very smooth, and he’d even been blessed by a train of joyful occasions.

“Congratulations to the Sect Leader Ming, a double blessing has descended upon your house!”

“I have heard that Jiang Hongyan from the Heaven Palace Academy will be released today. Young Master Ming has already brought dowry gifts, and the Heaven Palace Academy is very supportive of this matter. The marriage is now going to be finalized, and it will be a happy event!”

“Ha, ha, ha, and there’s another joyful occasion. I’ve heard that Xu Que and his group appeared in Tian Sha City a few days ago. The Heaven Palace Academy and our ancestors have already set off for there. I’ve also heard that the ancestors from the Divine Farmer Clan and Celestial Kings of other forces have also arrived there. Before long, we should receive the news that Xu Que and the others have been killed.”

“At that time, when Xu Que’s and his group’s heads roll, this marriage will be even more lively and joyous.”

“Oh, and if we can lure out Xu Que’s father, then there will be three blessings.”

Many elders of the Sage Sect delivered these various pieces of happy news to Ming Qianchuan.

Ming Qianchuan had a big smile on his face, and he couldn’t conceal his happiness. The past few months had been the happiest days in his life.

He glanced at the many elders below, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he nodded. “Xu Que and the others are doomed, but that alone is not enough for me to be pleased, for they are too trivial a matter.

“Now for me and the Sage Sect, the only joyful occasion is the marriage of my son, the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, with the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet of the Heaven Palace Academy. This is important for our future. Let’s not wait any longer. After my son has given the dowry gifts, it’s time to prepare for the grand marriage ceremony.”

“Sect Leader Ming is right.”

“Sect Leader Ming has great wisdom.”

Everyone at the scene saluted him with smiles on their faces and responded in unison.

There was only one thought in everyone’s heart—the Sage Sect was about to rise!
