SWISH!
Everyone looked over toward where they heard the sound coming from. A disciple of the Academy clad in a white long gown hurriedly flew across the sky with a face full of urgency.
Soon, he’d rushed to the front of the crowd and instantly found Dean Li and the others. He shouted, “Dean, a major event has happened. There were major occurrences in the battle in Tian Sha City. That boy, Xu Que…ah…”
Without finishing talking, the disciple suddenly saw Xu Que standing next to Dean Li and the others and gave a startled little scream on the spot.
BANG!
The next moment, the Academy disciple lost control of himself and ended up on the ground. His face was drained of blood. He scrambled to his knees.
“Faction Leader Xu…Xu Que!” He looked as if he was in pain and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His eyes were full of fear, and he tried desperately to squeeze out a smile to greet Xu Que.
“Faction Leader? Hey, aren’t you that kid?” Xu Que looked at him with a smile and asked.
The disciple immediately hit his head on the ground and shouted, “Faction Leader Xu Que, ah please spare my life. Forgive me for my transgressions for I must be blind, and I’ve said the wrong things. Please, Faction Leader Xu, you’re mighty and magnanimous.”
The crowd watching this display were struck dumb and had stupefied looks on their faces.
“Isn’t…isn’t that Zhang Zhangshui, the elite disciple of our Academy?”
“What is he doing? He’s actually bent his knee to Xu Que?”
“He’s gone crazy, hasn’t he?”
Many people were baffled and looked at the white-clad disciple in puzzlement.
“Preposterous!” Almost at the same time, Deputy Dean Li started angrily scolding him. “Zhang Zhangshui, what are you doing? How dare you shame the Heaven Palace Academy!”
“Deputy Dean Li, your disciple…your disciple misspoke just a moment ago. I spoke disrespectfully to Faction Leader Xu Que, so I should be asking him for forgiveness.” The disciple looked agonized and didn’t dare stand up.
Everyone present heard his words, and all of a sudden their faces changed color.
“What was going on?”
Zhang Zhangshui was acting extremely daring to have actually disregarded Deputy Dean Li’s words.
“What did that mean?”
“Was Xu Que even more terrifying than Deputy Dean Li in Zhang Zhangshui’s eyes?”
“You…you’ve got some nerve. I now want you to stand up. Otherwise…you’ll be expelled from the Academy at once.” Deputy Dean Li felt a big loss of face and angrily bellowed because of the humiliation.
He had already been infuriated by Xu Que. And now, he felt his rage rising even more till he was about to explode.
“Well, Deputy Dean Li…this…” Zhang Zhangshui became anxious immediately, but did not ask for mercy from Deputy Dean Li. Instead, he looked to Xu Que with a face of helplessness and distress and respectfully asked, “Faction Leader Xu Que, can I…can I get up?”
Holy sh*t!
As soon as the people present saw this scene, they couldn’t hold themselves back any longer.
“What the h*ll was going on here?”
“Had Zhang Zhangshui gone crazy?”
“This insult to Deputy Dean Li was a little too much wasn’t it?”
Many people couldn’t help but look at Deputy Dean Li. At this moment, he was so angry that his body was trembling all over. His murderous aura had become boundless, and his whole face looked extremely malevolent.
“Get up? Of course you can!” At this point, Xu Que grinned and responded.
“Many thanks to Faction Leader Xu Que for your kindness!” Zhang Zhangshui instantly looked as if he’d been relieved from a burden. He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up nervously.
Before he’d had time to beg for forgiveness from Deputy Dean Li and the others, Xu Que languidly added another remark, “But, unfortunately, if you’d continued to kneel, perhaps I could even have let you join the Exploding Heavens Faction.”
BANG!
In an instant, the sound of a thud could be heard.
Zhang Zhangshui had just stood up a moment ago and now his two knees had suddenly hit the ground again. He excitedly shouted with a determined face, “Faction Leader Xu, I want to join the Exploding Heavens Faction.”
“Unfortunately, you’ve been rejected.” Xu Que spread his hands and said with a despicable smile.
“…..” Zhang Zhangshui was upset, but he didn’t dare to show the slightest anger.
The entire crowd had now fallen into a dead silence. Everyone was stunned.
“What…what the hell was going on here?”
“What had just happened?”
The moment Zhang Zhangshui heard that he could join the Exploding Heavens Faction, he’d actually become so excited and he hadn’t hesitated to withdraw from the Heaven Palace Academy?
“Something is not right with this situation.” Dean Li turned his head to look the Deputy Dean beside him and whispered to him in a low voice.
Deputy Dean Li also slowly calmed down. Although the anger had nearly overwhelmed him, Zhang Zhangshui’s series of abnormal actions had put him on guard.
Even if Xu Que was a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, this was no reason to cause a disciple of the Heaven Palace Academy to be in so much awe of him.
There must have been some shocking developments in Tian Sha City.
“Zhang Zhangshui, you stand up. I, the Dean, can let bygones be bygones. But you must explain clearly. What happened in Tian Sha City?” Dean Li finally spoke up and asked sternly.
“Yes, Dean!”
Zhang Zhangshui also quickly stood up and bowed to Xu Que as well as to Dean Li.
Everyone present watched that and already had solemn looks across their faces.
Zhang Zhangshui’s actions were enough to show that he placed Xu Que and Dean Li in the same status. He even bowed to Xu Que first, indicating that Zhang Zhangshui revered Xu Que more than Dean Li.
“The thing is this: your disciple happened to be near Tian Sha City one day and heard the news that Faction Leader Xu and his group had arrived in Tian Sha City. So I rushed over. After which, the Divine Farmer Clan’s Drug God also appeared in Tian Sha City. Your disciple had a sense that something major was about to happen in Tian Sha City. However, I didn’t expect that the next day I would see the Divine Farmer Clan’s Drug God tied to the city wall. Later, several Ancestral Celestial Kings of the Divine Farmer Clan, as well as the Celestial Kings of other forces, all rushed over there…”
Soon, Zhang Zhangshui had recounted all that had taken place in Tian Sha City from the beginning to the end.
The crowd was dumbstruck throughout the recitation, and their hearts beat increasingly more wildly. From the moment that they heard that the Drug God had been tied to the city wall and had feces thrown at him, the crowd was greatly alarmed.
Even the eyelids of Deputy Dean Li and the other leaders twitched.
After all, in terms of the status of the Drug God in the Heaven Continent, it was similar to their statuses, and yet he had been tied to the city wall with feces thrown at him by Xu Que and the others. What would happened if this news were to spread?
But when they got to the end and heard that the Drug God had been killed by a knife thrown by Xu Que, followed by the appearance of the ten Celestial Kings who were repeatedly trapped by the trio of Que, De, and Dog, and then the ten Celestial Kings were dragged by Xu Que through the crossing of Tribulations, to be annihilated and killed, as well as Xu Que forcing the Heaven to take back one of the Heavenly Tribulations, so much so that he even frightened the two Celestial Primes who’d come from outside the realm into retreating.
Everything that had happened caused everyone’s hearts to temporarily stop beating, and they all felt as if they’d almost suffocated to death.
Everyone’s first reaction was…this was not possible.
“It was absolutely impossible.”
No matter how powerful a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven was, how could he have suppressed and killed ten Celestial Kings and also scared off two Celestial Primes?
The most important point was that he’d even forced Heaven to take back a Heavenly Tribulations!
“Is he messing with us?”
“Oh, this is ridiculous, really ridiculous. How can you speak of such ridiculous things?” At this time, the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, Ming Yixuan, shook his head and laughed, with a face full of mockery and sarcasm.
He glanced over at Zhang Zhangshui and Xu Que as he sneered, “You, with the surname Xu, if you want to make a splash, there was no need to bribe a Heaven Palace Academy disciple to come up with such outrageous lies? Even if you wanted to deceive people, you could have come up with a reasonable story.”
In his opinion, Zhang Zhangshui had been bought off by Xu Que and was working with Xu Que to put on this show.
As for the matter of killing the Celestial Kings, frightening away the Celestial Primes, and scaring off the Heavenly Tribulations, he didn’t believe a single word of it.
As the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, he was already the most qualified existence in the Heaven Continent and a true genius. He was very confident of his own strength.
In other words, the things he couldn’t do, no one else could do them either.
All of this must be false!
“Zhang Zhangshui, you are pretty bold to dare to deceive me and the others with such absurd lies.” Deputy Dean Li was also furious and rebuked him.
He also didn’t believe what Zhang Zhangshui had said, because it was all too ridiculous.
“Sirs, I’m really not lying. If you…if you don’t believe me, you can go to the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect for proof or you will see for yourselves in a few days. I believe that in no more than three days, this incident at Tian Sha City will spread throughout the entire Heaven Continent. When that time comes…” Zhang Zhangshui firmly said.
“There’s no need!” Deputy Dean Li directly interrupted Zhang Zhangshui’s words. A chill flashed through his eyes and he sneered. “Whether it’s true or false, I will know with one test.”
BOOM!
His voice had just faded when Deputy Dean Li’s figure instantly flashed and vanished from its original spot. He charged directly head-to-head toward Xu Que.
With a calm expression on his face, the corners of Xu Que’s lips curled up into a smile of disdain and he said, “You want to test me? Are you even qualified to do so? My surname will not be Xu if I don’t beat you to death in three moves!”
