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.
XuQue was just an ordinary person. The other people were cultivators,most of whom were at the Void Training Stage and enjoyed theextraordinary positions. They were shocked by Xu Que"s behavior. If theybecame enemies of the Zhu Family, they had to consider the Roc Tribebehind the Zhu Family. They wouldn"t make a big fuss as long as theissue wasn"t very serious.
However, as an ordinary person, XuQue"s behavior could be overbearing. All of them were detained by thisyoung man and waiting for their liquidation because they partic.i.p.ated inthe attack.
The Zhu Family didn"t want to be humiliated by anordinary person, so they had tried to scare Xu Que away. However, whatthey got was the same fate as the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe and thePrevailing Wind Pavilion.
The cultivators were terrified. Exceptfor Duan Jiude, they hadn"t seen such a ruthless person in many years!Still more ominous, this young man was crueler than Duan Jiude. Anyonewho went against his will would be killed. Only the Celestial Emperorcould do that!
…
The atmosphere in the area was a little creepy. Except for those who were gasping, n.o.body dared to speak casually.
TheSystem"s warning tone kept echoing in Xu Que"s mind. He earned morethan 4,000 Acting Tough Points by destroying the Zhu Family"s s.h.i.+p,putting him up to about 60,000 Acting Tough Points total. It was a bignumber, and Xu Que received it with his mind at ease.
Actually, hewouldn"t kill anyone who went against his will as those cultivatorsthought. 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!
TheZhu Family had partic.i.p.ated in the attack on Xu Que. He just planned topunish them by robbing their Spirit Stones before putting everythingbehind them. However, the Zhu Family had tried to threaten Xu Que withthe Roc Tribe, which annoyed him.
Xu Que was not intimidatedeasily. To threaten him with the Roc Tribe was even less effective thanasking several holy virgins to commend his handsomeness, which mightmake him happy enough to let everyone go.
However, the Zhu Familywas used to bullying others. They had threatened Xu Que with the RocTribe, so Xu Que had to kill them all. It was a dog-eat-dog world. Onewho chose to make concession after being threatened would be bullied andthreatened forever. Xu Que knew this rule well. Therefore, he was astough and ruthless as he was in the Five Elements Mountain.
b.u.t.tfacewas beside Xu Que and said with a smirk, "Little brat, you are reallyreckless. Now, you have offended all four continents like I did!"
LiuJingning stared at b.u.t.tface speechlessly. She turned to Xu Queworriedly and said, "You punish them in such a ruthless way. What ifthey 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!"
Hiswords stunned Liu Jingning, who said nothing after that. It was quiteunrealistic to say he would kill anyone who came to seek revenge.However, she got a vague feeling that Xu Que could really do that.
DuanJiude"s voice came in, saying, "Young man, what I want to say is thatafter leaving this Mystery Land, I can"t prevent so many people fromattacking you." The old man was sending the message with a seriousfacial expression while squatting on the bow of a s.h.i.+p. "Before long,the shackle that locked the four continents will be opened. A greatchange will happen. My master instructed me to keep a low profile. Ican"t offend the families and sects in this world; otherwise, I willsuffer 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?"
DuanJiude 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 becomingthe enemy of this world. The golden age is about to begin. However,before the commencement of a golden age, there is always a chaoticperiod!"
"Heh heh, old beggar, have you heard a saying?" Xu Que smiled.
"What?" Duan Jiude was stunned.
XuQue said with a faint smile, "Heroes emerge in troubled times, but thegolden age is full of mediocre officials! Since the chaotic period isupcoming, I should work harder; otherwise, I won"t be able to conquestthe golden age!"
He didn"t care about the chaotic period or thegolden age. He just wanted to get a firm foothold in this world tocontinue his acting tough business. Then, he would take Sun Yunlan,Madam Ya, Su Ling"er, and Su Xiaoqi to this continent, which was full ofmagnificent Spiritual Qi, to continue their cultivation!
"Heroesemerge in troubled times?" Duan Jiude was absent-minded because of XuQue"s words. He then smiled and shook his head. "Young man, you are tooambitious, and your thought is too simple. Once the chaotic periodstarts, even I have to hide. The battlefield at that time belongs toexperts like my master!"
Xu Que was shocked. Could there be more than one formidable powerhouse like the beautiful Taoist Nun?
Afterthinking it over, Xu Que felt it was quite normal that extremelypowerful experts were hiding in this time-honored World of Cultivators.He didn"t want to waste time thinking about what the world would be likein the future. If he was not powerful enough, he could perform s.e.xualfavors for Duan Jiude"s beautiful master to get protection. After all,flirtation was a kind of skill, and survival with one"s appearance was akind of honor! At the thought of this, Xu Que touched his face andsmiled, 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?
Theholy virgin of the Yun Family quickly threw more than ten storage ringsto Xu Que. "My fellow cultivator Xu, these are all Spirit Stones andmagical artifacts of the Yun Family!"
At first, she had thought XuQue was just an inexperienced, reckless young man. She had planned tolure him to the North Sea with her charm, so they could forcibly takeaway his yacht. Now, however, Xu Que was a devil lord to her. She deemedhim as a person with the same status as hers. She didn"t dareunderestimate him anymore. Among her peers, she hadn"t seen anyone asruthless.
The Yun Family"s action startled the rest of thecultivators, especially those who came from some small sects. Theystarted to urge their sect members to surrender their storage rings.After all, the Yun Family had given in. The small families and sectsdidn"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!"
…
Allfamilies and sects, big or small, had given in and surrendered alltheir Spirit Stones and magical artifacts. Even the Jiang Family and theGong Family surrendered their belongings with darkened faces.
JiangYushu and powerhouses of the Gong Family had gotten used to beingextorted by Xu Que like this. Every time they met him, from theStone-Cutting Convention to the Celestial Burial Valley, they wouldalways suffer financial loss!
An elder of the Jiang Familycouldn"t help but curse as he sent messages to other members of thefamily. "d.a.m.n! I guess this guy has stayed too long with Jiang Hongyan.He got evilness from her, which caused great loss to us!"
JiangYushu"s facial expression changed drastically. Finally, he clenched histeeth and said, "Let"s just treat it as losing money to avoidmisfortune. We should stop seeking revenge upon him in the future;otherwise, the Jiang Family couldn"t afford the loss!"
A young manof the Jiang Family asked ruefully, "Grand Elder, how does this go? Asone of the overlords in the East Continent, is the mighty Jiang Familygoing 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 s.h.i.+p of the Jiang Family was shocked.
JiangYushu said coldly, "At least we should avoid provoking that littleb.a.s.t.a.r.d before the connotation of our Jiang Family decides to reappearin this world!"
All members of the Jiang Family replied in unison. "As you wish."
…
Finally,after all the families and sects surrendered their belongings, theatmosphere became tense again. n.o.body knew whether Xu Que would killthem all after robbing their Spirit Stones.
Some of them wereshocked that an ordinary person could decide the life or death of themajestic powerhouses outside the Mystery Land. It was so sad, annoyingand helpless!
Seeing their facial expressions, Xu Que also knew inhis heart that this was the effect of extremely powerful strength. Aslong as you were powerful enough, n.o.body dared to bully you. He hadrealized this effect previously with the submarines, the aircraftcarriers, and the Upflowing Sea.
Once they left that area, hisintimidation would disappear immediately. However, he firmly believed hewould regain this power, which could decide others" fate, when he hadextraordinary strength again one day!
At the thought of this, XuQue smiled and said, "Thanks for your cooperation! You know credibilityis the most important fact for the Exploding Heavens Faction to dobusiness in this world. Also, we always use the traditional and formalway of robbery! As for performing indecent a.s.sault on women afterrobbing their properties…"
Before he finished his words, the cultivators totally freaked out and almost spat blood.
d.a.m.n! Are you going to rape our women after robbing us?
