Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At last, the battle between the Mysterious Clan and the Demonic Beast Clan was over, and almost all the Demonic Beasts were wiped out.
Lin Yi, as well as countless Demonic Beasts in the Golden Core and Original Infant Stages, had been destroyed by the lighting. Only some Demonic Beasts that were in lower stages survived. This was because they were out of range of Xu Que’s lightning.
Xu Que’s Acting Tough Points had increased by more than three thousand points. His Experience Points had also increased to tens of millions of points. He was now in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage.
Unfortunately, he could not bring the dead back to life.
The severely injured members of the Mysterious Clan quickly recovered after they took the medicine that Xu Que gave them. Once they had regained their strength, they began to clear the battlefield and bury their peers.
That day, Xu Que, Su Ling’er decided to stay the night on the third floor of the tower. The rest of the members planned to stay the night in the tower as well.
Once they were on the third floor of the tower, Su Ling’er told Xu Que why Lin Yi had attacked: the Demonic Beast Clan wanted to build up prestige among other clans by capturing members of the Mysterious Clan. In order to do this, they successfully beguiled one or two members from each tribe of the Mysterious Clan to work in collusion with them once the Demonic Beast Clan launched their attack.
Su Ling’er also told him that the teleportation arrays were now broken. These teleportation arrays were supposed to provide two-way teleportation, but now they could now only teleport people one way. On top of this, the arrays could now only support short-distance teleportation.
All of this information about the arrays surprised Xu Que. However, he felt no need to learn how to fix the Mysterious Clan’s arrays since he knew that b.u.t.tface knew how to make them better ones.
“Sun Wu Kong, can you tell me where Xu Que is?” Su Xiao Qi asked. “He disappeared as soon as the battle was over. He was also wearing a mask the whole time. I didn’t even get the chance to meet him in person,” Su Xiao Qi said while moving her red tail.
To meet me in person? What does she want from me?
“Please, I really want to meet him.”
“Tell me, what will you do when you see him,” Xu Que smiled.
“It’s none of your business. Just tell him to come. I want to meet him,” Su Xiao Qi said.
“I shall not,” Xu Que replied.
“I want to meet him!” Su Xiao Qi said, getting a bit angry.
“Sun Wu Kong, don’t joke with her. Since you’ve been gone, the Exploding Heavens Faction has become very famous amongst the Fire Nation. The young man called Xu Que has become particularly famous. We have also heard that he is very handsome, gentle and just brilliant. Xiao Qi has heard so much about him during the past year. She admires him very much and wants to meet him in person.”
Hearing this, Xu Que felt very happy.
I never thought this little arrogant girl who calls me “dead monkey” all the time would be so crazy about me. Why on earth does she admire me? There are plenty of brilliant men in my Faction. Wait a minute… no matter who she chose to admire in the Exploding Heavens Faction, she would inevitably admire me…
Xu Que tried hard to suppress his urge to laugh.
“Su Xiao Qi, I never thought you were the type of person who would be so crazy about someone.”
“Dead monkey, it is my business. Unlike you, Xu Que is young, handsome and very promising. You are just repulsive,” Su Xiao Qi said, rolling her eyes at him.
“Su Xiao Qi, it’s not good to consider the person you admire to be on the same level as a G.o.d,” Xu Que said.
“Says who?! I don’t care what you say, he IS my G.o.d! Why are you being so difficult?”
“What if I told you that I was Xu Que…?” Xu Que said, smiling.
“Nonsense! How dare you compare yourself to him?!”
“…” Xu Que was speechless.
Still, Xu Que felt it was time to show them who he really was. While it was true that he came back to see Su Ling’er and the rest of the clan members, he also wanted to do something that would change the fate of the Mysterious Clan.
After a while, Xu Que spoke again.
“I have a secret, and I think it’s time to tell you.”
“What?!” Su Ling’er said.
Su Ling’er was surprised. So was Su Xiao Qi.
Why has he suddenly become so serious?
“Well, the thing is, I never belonged to the Mysterious Clan.”
“What?!”
Su Ling’er and Su Xiao Qi were puzzled.
When Su Ling’er first met Xu Que, she had her doubts about him being a member of the Mysterious Clan since he behaved rather strangely for a member. However, they both went through the Heavenly Tribulations together, the ones located in the Mysterious Clan’s homeland. No one other than members of the Mysterious Clan could have gone through these Heavenly tribulations, which is how she knew he was a true member.
But now, Xu Que was telling them that he had never belonged to the Mysterious Clan. This couldn’t be possible.
Su Ling’er laughed. She believed that he was joking with them.
“Sun Wu Kong, are you serious?!” Su Xiao Qi asked. “If you do not belong to the Mysterious Clan, then what clan do you belong to? What are even are you if you aren’t one of us?”
“I am a human,” Xu Que said.
“What?!”
Su Ling’er and Su Xiao Qi were stunned.
A human?! Sun Wu Kong is a human? This is impossible!
“Sun Wu Kong, you can not possibly be a human. A human would not have as much fur on their body as you do,” Su Xiao Qi said.
“I just changed how I look, and the name Sun Wu Kong is fake.”
“Nonsense! I don’t buy it,” Su Xiao Qi said, looking at him.
Su Ling’er was completely stunned and didn’t know what to think.
“Sister, don’t tell me you buy his words. We both know he likes telling jokes,” Su Xiao Qi said.
“He is not joking,” said Su Ling’er, shaking her head. She knew “Sun Wu Kong” very well. She knew he would not joke about something this. At least, not in this way.
“What?” Su Xiao Qi was shocked, “Then…what clan is he a member of? Who is he really?”
“That’s what I am trying to figure out!” Su Ling’er said, staring at Xu Que. “Who are you?!”
Xu Que forced out a smile.
He did not want to tell them who he really was at all. But, he knew there was a creature buried in the Five Elements Mountain and that this creature might be the real Sun Wu Kong. He was afraid that if the creature escaped, and if it turned out to be Sun Wu Kong, it might bring cause the Mysterious Clan a lot of trouble.
Thus, he felt he needed to reveal his ident.i.ty.
Besides, he wanted to do something that would totally change the fate of the Mysterious Clan. To do this, he would have to tell them who he really was first.
Xu Que took a deep breath.
“It’s true! I am Xu Que!”
