Chapter 1041: His Resurgence
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“The Exploding Heavens Faction is awesome! Faction Leader is awesome!”
At that moment, the man in the black robe swung his arms and shouted at the top of his lungs. He was thrilled and bursting with happiness as he came running toward them. As he was running, he grabbed a stone from the ground and threw it directly at the disciples from the aristocratic families. “D*mn it! Son of a b*tch! How dare you hunt me down! Now my Faction Leader is here, it’s your death row now!”
“F*ck, you’re so whiny and full of profanity, are you looking for death?” b.u.t.tface unexpectedly appeared overhead where he cursed and dashed toward the man dressed in the black robe; he was going to bite the black-robed man.
The black-robed man was so frightened that he almost fell onto the ground as he quickly shouted, “All Hail the Exploding Heavens Faction’s Vice Faction Leader–the Mighty King!”
“Well?” When b.u.t.tface heard that, he immediately felt satisfied, and his expression became more generous. He nodded and said, “You’re smart, if you had said that slower, Your Holiness would have immediately kicked you to death!”
“Uh, please forgive me, the Mighty King. That…that was the faction’s rule. Our senior, Duan Jiude, taught us to say it!” The black-robed man laughed bitterly.
“What? D*mn it, Duan Jiude, that scoundrel. When Your Holiness sees him, I’ll definitely kill him!” b.u.t.tface roared angrily.
Xu Que was speechless too. It was definitely Duan Jiude’s style. There were so many other things to teach and he had to teach profanity. And the phrase “son of a b*tch” seemed like a phrase from him.
But that Exploding Heavens Faction…
Xu Que looked at the black-robed man, and he recalled that before he left The Four Great Continents, b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude seemed to be recruiting people from everywhere and anywhere; they had really set up an Exploding Heavens Faction. When he declared war with the Xuanzhen Continent, he also mentioned that the members of the Exploding Heavens Faction had joined the war of resistance. Unexpectedly, after many years, these groups of people even wore the faction’s uniforms.
“Faction Leader Xu, please spare my life!”
At that moment, several disciples from the aristocratic families crawled over on their knees and cried for mercy.
“We…we had no choice!”
“Yes, those were the orders from the Immortal Cultivators. We’re just following their orders!”
“Please let us go!”
Several people competed to beg for forgiveness. The fear of Xu Que ran deep in their hearts. What he had done on The Four Great Continents was very unethical, and his means were brutal and vicious. Stories about him were circulated all over The Four Great Continents. They were exaggerated after each circulation, and thus it had made the public terror-stricken of Xu Que. In terms of deterrence, he had already surpa.s.sed Duan Jiude heaps of time!
Now, he had returned. How could those disciples from the aristocratic families who were merely in the Infant Transformation Stage not be fearful of him?
“Humph, that’s not what I heard you say just now, was it? Aren’t you going to eradicate the leftovers of my Exploding Heavens Faction? Come on, I’m standing right in front of you. Try eradicating me!” Xu Que sneered and stared fiercely at them.
Several disciples from the aristocratic families went pale. They bowed to him, apologizing continuously, “We were wrong, Faction Leader Xu, we were really wrong, you’re definitely benevolent enough to let us go!”
“Ha, ha, I’m sorry. I’m extremely narrow-minded and petty!” Xu Que shook his head and the Dark Heavenly Sword in his hand swung forward abruptly!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several m.u.f.fled sounds rang out in a row, and several disciples from the aristocratic families exploded on the spot. They turned into ma.s.ses of blood mist, sprinkled on the ground.
“Faction Leader is mighty!” the black-robed man exclaimed excitedly.
“He’s mighty and Your Holiness isn’t?” b.u.t.tface was frustrated.
“Vice Faction Leader is mighty too!” The black-robed man had no choice but to add that, and it made b.u.t.tface nod his head with satisfaction.
“Well, let’s talk about what happened during the last few years since we have been away?” Xu Que asked the black-robed man.
The black-robed man was shocked and replied, “Faction…Faction Leader, you didn’t leave for a few years, but for more than a decade!”
“More than a decade?” Xu Que’s eyes stared wide open. Where did the more than a decade come from?
“Yes, the year you suddenly disappeared, the people of The Four Great Continents were terrified that the Xuanzhen Continent would attack us. Fortunately, b.u.t.tface…uh, Mighty King returned and he said that you had strengthened the seal; Xuanzhen Continent wouldn’t attack us for a decade. That rea.s.sured many people! But since then, you haven’t appeared for exactly 12 years, and many things have happened on The Four Great Continents!” The black-robed man explained.
Xu Que was so confused; he only had been gone for a maximum of five or six years. How could the time have doubled like that?
“Void Tunnel!” Jiang Hongyan spoke softly.
Xu Que was stunned for a second, but he suddenly understood the situation!
Yes, it must have been that Void Tunnel!
They made use of the s.p.a.ce-Breaking Spell to travel through the Void Tunnel, which was equivalent to a higher level of teleportation. The principle was the same as that in a Teleportation Spell, but the area crossed was much wider.
When he first transported from South Continent to the North Sea, he felt that he had only experienced a few seconds in the Teleportation Spell, but it was two months in the outside world. While traveling through the Void Tunnel, he felt that only a few months or a year had pa.s.sed, but the outside world might have gone through several years.
In retrospect, Xu Que nodded; he understood what had gone on. “Alas!” He couldn’t help but sigh.
From Xuanzhen Continent to Earth, and then from Earth to The Four Great Continents, more than a decade had pa.s.sed. Indeed, time flies! In the blink of an eye, more than a decade when I hadn’t made love…done things I’ve loved…what a waste of time!
“Faction Leader, let’s leave this place now, it’s not safe here!” At that moment, the black-robed man warned them as he observed his surroundings vigilantly.
Xu Que collected himself and frowned, “Why is it unsafe? By the way, who are the Immortal Cultivators they mentioned earlier?”
“Faction Leader, the current situation is unlike the past. Around five years ago, the Xuanzhen Continent underwent drastic changes. I couldn’t fathom the change but that side affected The Four Great Continents too. A large number of Immortal Cultivators appeared on The Four Great Continents. They were so powerful that they took control of The Four Great Continents in just one day. The rebellious factions were annihilated overnight!” The black-robed man explained.
Xu Que’s face sank. How could Xuanzhen Continent’s drastic change affect The Four Great Continents? The next moment, something came to his mind, and he asked in a serious tone, “Did they also annihilate the Utmost Happiness Faction?”
“Yes, not only the Utmost Happiness Faction was annihilated, but several sects too. It was rumored that many people escaped before the accident, and that those annihilated were only unimportant disciples. The real leaders and Sect Elders had retreated in advance, but so far there has been no news of them at all!” The black-robed man nodded in response.
“What about Liu Jingning? Do you have any news of her? Oh yes, and how are the people in the South Continent’s Mystery Land?” Xu Que asked.
“Faction Leader, we don’t know where Liu Saint has gone. But the South Continent’s Mystery Land was closed five years ago before the Immortal Cultivators arrived.”
“Closed? No! Didn’t Duan Jiude have a way to get in? Why didn’t he take all of you in there to hide?” Xu Que frowned again.
The black-robed man shook his head and smiled bitterly. “The Mystery Land was completely sealed up. Duan Jiude tried many times but failed to get in. He even said that the South Continent’s Mystery Land had disappeared.”
“D*mn it!” Xu Que was taken aback.
The South Continent’s Mystery Land had disappeared? D*mn, what was Zixia Fairy doing? How dare she abduct the Act-Tough Saint’s woman?
“Where’s Duan Jiude now? Inform everyone in the Exploding Heavens Faction immediately and have them find him.” Xu Que pulled on the collar of the black-robed man, ordering him about. After all, a Faction Leader had to look like a Faction Leader.
“Ah?” The black-robed man, however, had a bitter expression and said helplessly, “Faction Leader, we…we don’t know. In fact, there aren’t many people left in the Exploding Heavens Faction. Everyone is either dead or on the run. Families and factions who surrendered to the Immortal Cultivators are all against us. Even Duan Jiude once and again said that he had dropped out of the Exploding Heavens Faction. But I did hear a while ago that he poured a pot of excrement on the head of an Immortal Cultivator. Now, he’s being hunted down by all of the Immortal Cultivators; no one knows where he is!”
“D*mn it, how could this be, everyone was leading such a miserable life?” Xu Que felt ashamed. Really, the Exploding Heavens Faction shouldn’t have existed, but since it was started and people had joined, he couldn’t really turn a blind eye to it.
For more than a decade, the Exploding Heavens Faction had never heard from him. And he had never thought that when he came back, it would turn out that his Exploding Heavens Faction would be bullied so badly by others! He felt guilty! He had to get even with those bullies, making them pay double the price, otherwise where was the dignity of an Act-Tough King? Even if the other party were Immortal Cultivators, how was that more important than his dignity?
“Humph!” Xu Que gave a cold sneer, his gaze went ice-cold, and his eyes were fixed toward the distance!
Psssss.h.!.+
The next moment, he swung his hand up as he took out several Message Delivering Papers and threw them into the air, shouting loudly: “I’m Xu Que. I’m back!”
“Where’s my Exploding Heavens Faction?”
“There’s a matter I need to ask all of you. Are you willing to take part?”
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
In no time, a number of Message Delivering Papers with dazzling golden rays, turned into several streams of light and flew to every corner of The Four Great Continents. Xu Que’s voice was deafening and powerful as it reverberated across The Four Great Continents!
