The Zhu Family was nothing!
The Roc Tribe was nothing!
After saying that, Xu Que eliminated the Zhu Family's fleet neatly. His resolute and ruthless killing astounded everyone.
Xu Que was just an ordinary person. The other people were cultivators, most of whom were at the Void Training Stage and enjoyed the extraordinary positions. They were shocked by Xu Que's behavior. If they became enemies of the Zhu Family, they had to consider the Roc Tribe behind the Zhu Family. They wouldn't make a big fuss as long as the issue wasn't very serious.
However, as an ordinary person, Xu Que's behavior could be overbearing. All of them were detained by this young man and waiting for their liquidation because they participated in the attack.
The Zhu Family didn't want to be humiliated by an ordinary person, so they had tried to scare Xu Que away. However, what they got was the same fate as the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe and the Prevailing Wind Pavilion.
The cultivators were terrified. Except for Duan Jiude, they hadn't seen such a ruthless person in many years! Still more ominous, this young man was crueler than Duan Jiude. Anyone who went against his will would be killed. Only the Celestial Emperor could do that!
…
The atmosphere in the area was a little creepy. Except for those who were gasping, nobody dared to speak casually.
The System's warning tone kept echoing in Xu Que's mind. He earned more than 4,000 Acting Tough Points by destroying the Zhu Family's ship, putting him up to about 60,000 Acting Tough Points total. It was a big number, and Xu Que received it with his mind at ease.
Actually, he wouldn't kill anyone who went against his will as those cultivators thought. The Taoist Connotation he cultivated would do anything at will!
Those who did not offend would not be offended. Those who offended would be killed!
The Zhu Family had participated in the attack on Xu Que. He just planned to punish them by robbing their Spirit Stones before putting everything behind them. However, the Zhu Family had tried to threaten Xu Que with the Roc Tribe, which annoyed him.
Xu Que was not intimidated easily. To threaten him with the Roc Tribe was even less effective than asking several holy virgins to commend his handsomeness, which might make him happy enough to let everyone go.
However, the Zhu Family was used to bullying others. They had threatened Xu Que with the Roc Tribe, so Xu Que had to kill them all. It was a dog-eat-dog world. One who chose to make concession after being threatened would be bullied and threatened forever. Xu Que knew this rule well. Therefore, he was as tough and ruthless as he was in the Five Elements Mountain.
Buttface was beside Xu Que and said with a smirk, "Little brat, you are really reckless. Now, you have offended all four continents like I did!"
Liu Jingning stared at Buttface speechlessly. She turned to Xu Que worriedly and said, "You punish them in such a ruthless way. What if they come to seek revenge after leaving the Mystery Land?"
Xu Que turned to Liu Jingning and replied with a smile. "I'll kill anyone who comes to seek revenge!"
His words stunned Liu Jingning, who said nothing after that. It was quite unrealistic to say he would kill anyone who came to seek revenge. However, she got a vague feeling that Xu Que could really do that.
Duan Jiude's voice came in, saying, "Young man, what I want to say is that after leaving this Mystery Land, I can't prevent so many people from attacking you." The old man was sending the message with a serious facial expression while squatting on the bow of a ship. "Before long, the shackle that locked the four continents will be opened. A great change will happen. My master instructed me to keep a low profile. I can't offend the families and sects in this world; otherwise, I will suffer great loss in the future!"
Xu Que was stunned. Furrowing his eyebrows, he asked, "What do you mean? What is the shackle for the four continents?"
Duan Jiude replied with a shrug. "It is a long story, so I won't tell it. Anyway, I suggest you'd better keep a low profile, and avoid becoming the enemy of this world. The golden age is about to begin. However, before the commencement of a golden age, there is always a chaotic period!"
"Heh heh, old beggar, have you heard a saying?" Xu Que smiled.
"What?" Duan Jiude was stunned.
Xu Que said with a faint smile, "Heroes emerge in troubled times, but the golden age is full of mediocre officials! Since the chaotic period is upcoming, I should work harder; otherwise, I won't be able to conquest the golden age!"
He didn't care about the chaotic period or the golden age. He just wanted to get a firm foothold in this world to continue his acting tough business. Then, he would take Sun Yunlan, Madam Ya, Su Ling'er, and Su Xiaoqi to this continent, which was full of magnificent Spiritual Qi, to continue their cultivation!
"Heroes emerge in troubled times?" Duan Jiude was absent-minded because of Xu Que's words. He then smiled and shook his head. "Young man, you are too ambitious, and your thought is too simple. Once the chaotic period starts, even I have to hide. The battlefield at that time belongs to experts like my master!"
Xu Que was shocked. Could there be more than one formidable powerhouse like the beautiful Taoist Nun?
After thinking it over, Xu Que felt it was quite normal that extremely powerful experts were hiding in this time-honored World of Cultivators. He didn't want to waste time thinking about what the world would be like in the future. If he was not powerful enough, he could perform sexual favors for Duan Jiude's beautiful master to get protection. After all, flirtation was a kind of skill, and survival with one's appearance was a kind of honor! At the thought of this, Xu Que touched his face and smiled, satisfied.
At that moment, the cultivators, who fixed their eyes on Xu Que, saw his smile. Oh, no! Is he going to kill someone again?
The holy virgin of the Yun Family quickly threw more than ten storage rings to Xu Que. "My fellow cultivator Xu, these are all Spirit Stones and magical artifacts of the Yun Family!"
At first, she had thought Xu Que was just an inexperienced, reckless young man. She had planned to lure him to the North Sea with her charm, so they could forcibly take away his yacht. Now, however, Xu Que was a devil lord to her. She deemed him as a person with the same status as hers. She didn't dare underestimate him anymore. Among her peers, she hadn't seen anyone as ruthless.
The Yun Family's action startled the rest of the cultivators, especially those who came from some small sects. They started to urge their sect members to surrender their storage rings. After all, the Yun Family had given in. The small families and sects didn't dare continue their objection.
"My fellow cultivator Xu, these are the storage rings of our Foggy Stream Sect!"
"These are the storage rings of our Drifting Cloud Sect!"
"These are the storage rings of the Lin Family!"
…
All families and sects, big or small, had given in and surrendered all their Spirit Stones and magical artifacts. Even the Jiang Family and the Gong Family surrendered their belongings with darkened faces.
Jiang Yushu and powerhouses of the Gong Family had gotten used to being extorted by Xu Que like this. Every time they met him, from the Stone-Cutting Convention to the Celestial Burial Valley, they would always suffer financial loss!
An elder of the Jiang Family couldn't help but curse as he sent messages to other members of the family. "Damn! I guess this guy has stayed too long with Jiang Hongyan. He got evilness from her, which caused great loss to us!"
Jiang Yushu's facial expression changed drastically. Finally, he clenched his teeth and said, "Let's just treat it as losing money to avoid misfortune. We should stop seeking revenge upon him in the future; otherwise, the Jiang Family couldn't afford the loss!"
A young man of the Jiang Family asked ruefully, "Grand Elder, how does this go? As one of the overlords in the East Continent, is the mighty Jiang Family going to stay out of his way in the future?"
Jiang Yushu replied angrily, "Yes! From now on, we should all stay out of his way and not provoke him!"
Everyone on the ship of the Jiang Family was shocked.
Jiang Yushu said coldly, "At least we should avoid provoking that little bastard before the connotation of our Jiang Family decides to reappear in this world!"
All members of the Jiang Family replied in unison. "As you wish."
…
Finally, after all the families and sects surrendered their belongings, the atmosphere became tense again. Nobody knew whether Xu Que would kill them all after robbing their Spirit Stones.
Some of them were shocked that an ordinary person could decide the life or death of the majestic powerhouses outside the Mystery Land. It was so sad, annoying and helpless!
Seeing their facial expressions, Xu Que also knew in his heart that this was the effect of extremely powerful strength. As long as you were powerful enough, nobody dared to bully you. He had realized this effect previously with the submarines, the aircraft carriers, and the Upflowing Sea.
Once they left that area, his intimidation would disappear immediately. However, he firmly believed he would regain this power, which could decide others' fate, when he had extraordinary strength again one day!
At the thought of this, Xu Que smiled and said, "Thanks for your cooperation! You know credibility is the most important fact for the Exploding Heavens Faction to do business in this world. Also, we always use the traditional and formal way of robbery! As for performing indecent assault on women after robbing their properties…"
Before he finished his words, the cultivators totally freaked out and almost spat blood.
Damn! Are you going to rape our women after robbing us?
