“What?” Xu Que, b.u.t.tface, and Duan Jiude all shouted in surprise!
The woman’s words were so terrifying. She said the owner of the Celestial Burial Valley had ordered them to go into the valley. It simply meant the owner was still alive!
The Celestial Burial Valley had existed for tens of thousands of years! If its owner was still alive, this guy would come from the era when b.u.t.tface was still living in one of his past lives!
“Young girl, stop your nonsense! I’ve ascertained that all of you went into that valley to look for treasures! In other words, you are robbing graves! Don’t try to whitewash your actions with those terrifying words!” Duan Jiude said, widening his eyes.
The woman shook her head. “What I said is true! There is no reason for me to cheat you! When we arrived at the Four Great Continents, a voice spoke to us from the Celestial Burial Valley, which was heard by all the people from the three academies clearly!”
“A voice? What did it say?” Xu Que asked immediately.
“It was a woman’s voice, which sounded so majestic as if it came from remote antiquity. She ordered us to go into the Celestial Burial Valley and open the tomb seal for her. Also she sent some people to the rest of the Deathtraps to check whether anybody else had also woken up!”
Anybody else?
Hearing that, Xu Que was shocked. Could it be that ancient big shots are buried in the Nine Deathtraps? d.a.m.n! If all of them escaped their tombs, the Four Great Continents would be ruined! How could I survive at that time?
“This is not correct! Why do you follow this woman’s order given to you in such a way, when you don’t even know who she is?” Duan Jiude asked wisely.
The woman replied with a cold smile, “We ignored her orders at the beginning. However, she is from the Heavenly Human Tribe and knows a kind of Soul Art. She placed seals on our Souls. If we didn’t obey her orders, she threatened to kill us all when she comes out in future! If we help her, she will help us to leave this place and allow us to choose whatever Celestial Artifacts and treasures in the Celestial Burial Valley that we want! Now you tell me, should we have followed her orders?”
“Eh…” Duan Jiude said as he smiled lamely, “You really weren’t given much of a choice—you definitely had to say yes!”
“Right! If I had been there, I would also have said yes for I could get Celestial Artifacts! Wait! This can’t be correct! d.a.m.n! I used to go into the Celestial Burial Valley. Why didn’t she ask me to help her? She must be as blind as a bat!” b.u.t.tface said.
“Mind your words or you may dig your own grave with your teeth!” The woman reminded b.u.t.tface with a cold smile.
Her words stunned b.u.t.tface, who covered his mouth immediately and started to look around vigilantly. It seemed he was really worried about possible revenge.
“Enough! Stop your nonsense! If she were really so powerful, she would have already come out of her tomb! Why did she ask you to help her?” Xu Que said overbearingly. He was not afraid of the woman as long as she was still trapped in her tomb! “What is your progress now? When will you open the tomb seal?” Xu Que asked.
The woman answered truthfully, “We are still at the perimeter area. Only the Taoist Connotation of cultivators at the Half Celestial Realm or higher could cause damage to that tomb seal. It is a pity that we are shorthanded now. The progress has been quite slow! I’m afraid we will need 100 years to open the tomb seal!”
“Oh? 100 years?” Xu Que raised his eyebrows immediately. If she comes out 100 years from now, I won’t need to worry about her for I will be much more powerful at that time. And she won’t cause any threat to me!
“What? Wait!” Suddenly, an idea occurred to Xu Que. He asked, looking at the woman, “Did you get your score point plates from the woman in the Celestial Burial Valley?”
“No!” The woman shook her head. “If she had been able to send something out, she would have sent all the Celestial Artifacts in the tomb to help us in breaking the tomb seal!”
Hearing that, Xu Que nodded his head slightly. He had thought the woman in the Celestial Burial Valley knew that he had slaughtered the Heavenly Human Tribe in the Road of Heavenly Ascension. So now she had decided to seek revenge against the Exploding Heavens Faction.
Now, however, it seemed to be a different story. He hadn’t offended any other big shots recently!
“Little brat, stop making blind and disorderly conjectures! I guess you’ve done too many evil things and the Heavens are going to punish you!” b.u.t.tface cautioned him.
“Get lost! If the Heavens really want to punish someone, it should be you!” Xu Que stared at b.u.t.tface, but felt guilty in his heart. After all, it seemed the one who he had offended seriously was the Heavens!
At the same time, the woman said as she looked at Xu Que seriously, “I’ve answered your last question! When will you let me go?”
Xu Que replied with a smile, “Wait! Don’t be impatient! We are playing the Truth or Dare game. Now, let’s start the exciting part!”
“Why don’t you keep your promise?” The woman’s expression changed and she stepped back slightly. Although she didn’t understand the meaning of the Truth or Dare game, she knew Xu Que wasn’t going to let her go.
“I will definitely keep my promise, but you must lead us into that Celestial Spell Array without being detected first!” Xu Que said with a smile.
They had arrived at this place. How could they stay out of it? He would never waste his time in waiting outside that Array!
“What? Did…you ask me to lead you into the Celestial Spell Array?” The woman was stunned by his words and couldn’t believe what she had heard. After all, Xu Que’s decision was equal to setting free a tiger. Deciding to go into that Array was the same putting his head in a noose! n.o.body would do that for then the woman would definitely escape according to her knowledge about the Array. Then she would ask the Masters of the academies to help her.
“Wait! Are you going to ask me to vow with the Inner Demons that I won’t sell you out in the Array?” Suddenly, an idea occurred to the woman. She figured that this was a wise possibility.
Xu Que shook his head and said with a smile, “To vow with the Inner Demons is too illusory! I don’t believe in it! What I want is to place a Soul Seed in your Soul. If you dare to sell us out, I will kill you with a flash of thought!”
“That’s impossible!” The woman said angrily, “If you want to do that, I’d rather die!”
Once a Soul Seed was placed in her Soul, all her secrets would be revealed, and she would be turned into a puppet. This was even worse than death. She would never accept that.
“Oh!” Xu Que said, scratching his head with embarra.s.sment, “When you were unconscious just now, I placed a Soul Seed into your Soul! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Now I am not able to take it out! What can I do now?”
“What?” The woman opened her eyes and almost spat blood on the spot!
Why didn’t I tell you earlier? How could I know you would do that? If you were me, would you accept that?
“Hey, girl, don’t get excited! Please look at my eyes! Look at them carefully! Do you see sincerity in them? I promise with all my personality that I will take out the Soul Seed for you if you take us into the Array safely!” Xu Que said.
b.u.t.tface also said hurriedly, “Right! Right! I hereby promise with my wolfality that what he said is true!”
Duan Jiude also nodded his head, “Young girl, as an old man, the salt I have eaten is even more than the rice you have eaten! I strongly suggest you believe him this time!”
The woman was trembling with anger and felt she had been fooled. She had met many despicable men in her life. However, she had never met a shameless man like Xu Que before! n.o.body could rival him in shamelessness!
Also, this old guy and the dog are also evil! How could they lie through their teeth? Do they think I am a fool?
