Chapter 606: This Guy is Insane!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Outside the Celestial Burial Valley, white clouds spa.r.s.ely dotted the clear and boundless sky. Although hundreds of cultivators gathered outside the valley, it was still quiet.
These people had been sent to spy on Jiang Hongyan’s action. They didn’t plan to attack her—they didn’t have the guts to attack her.
When Liu Jingning arrived, she had taken off her human-skinned mask along with Xu Que and revealed her face. The cultivators had already recognized her ident.i.ty. As the prestigious Holy Virgin of the Utopia Sect, Liu Jingning was not someone they could mindlessly offend, even if she was not as reputable as Dong Genji.
Moreover, Jiang Hongyan had reached the highest level of the Infant Transformation Stage. None of the cultivators dared attack her.
Liu Jingning and Jiang Hongyan silently watched Xu Que, who was setting up spells at a distance.
After a while, Liu Jingning turned to Jiang Hongyan with a smile. “I didn’t expect this little brat to push his every limit for you. It’s a pity that tomorrow you’ll have to face desperate combat. No matter how many spells he sets up, they can only slow those people down for several breaths!”
Speechless for a short while, Jiang Hongyan eventually shook her head. “He never does something he isn’t sure about!”
“After being with him the past few days, I agree with you! However, this time is different. The situation is unavoidable now. Among your opponents, there are over 100 powerhouses at the Void Training Stage. Even the Utopia Sect sent five Elders at the Void Training Stage here. Luckily, my Grandmaster is not here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stay here and protect you!”
After saying that, Liu Jingning helplessly sighed, “But tomorrow I can’t stay here anymore!” She was quite clear that nothing would happen if someone saw her staying beside Jiang Hongyan.
However, if she were found here tomorrow, the Utopia Sect would become involved in this issue. According to the style of those big sects and families, they would definitely accuse the Utopia Sect of being partial to Jiang Hongyan!
“Tomorrow you should just leave together with Xu Que. He is quite gifted and deserves a better future. It is unnecessary for him to offend the entire East Continent for me!” Jiang Hongyan said calmly.
Hearing her words, Liu Jingning smiled wryly and shook her head. “Nothing he does matters now. He has offended almost all the families and sects in the East Continent!”
Jiang Hongyan was stunned and her eyebrows furrowed. “What happened?”
Liu Jingning sighed and told her everything Xu Que had done since his arrival in the East Continent.
On the first day, he’d offended the Bright Moon Hotel and killed sovereigns of the Gong Family and the Jiang Family. Then, he’d killed another batch of people in the stone quarry of the Jiang Family. That night, he’d attended the Stone-Cutting Convention and cheated all the families and sects there. Finally, he’d teased the three big families mercilessly. He’d even become the notorious “Lightning Rogue” on his way here.
Hearing that, Jiang Hongyan was totally dumbfounded.
He’d managed to offend all the big families and sects in the East Continent within several days!
However, Jiang Hongyan soon realized the issue. It seemed that every trouble Xu Que had encountered was not caused by him, but by someone else. All these troubles came to him as if they were arranged by an invisible hand!
Jiang Hongyan’s eyes dimmed. In a low voice she said, “He is haunted by the misfortune . . . ”
“Don’t worry. It seems that is the last thing he’s afraid of. He broadened the horizons of my beliefs about people the last few days. Ordinary people are always frightened by misfortune. Only this little brat always plans to make trouble. In addition, I get the feeling that he is quite happy after knowing he is haunted by misfortune!” Liu Jingning said this part with a weird expression.
After hearing her words, Jiang Hongyan was surprised and opened her mouth to say something.
Rumble—!
Suddenly, a thunderous bang came in from the sky.
They were surprised and thought the big families and sects were preparing to attack in advance. After looking up, the two of them became stunned at the same time.
They saw an enormous swirl in the sky, which was sweeping Spiritual Qi around it crazily. Even the magnificent Spiritual Qi at the inlet of the Celestial Burial Valley was being sucked up by the swirl like flood water.
A moment later, light bloomed on the ground several hundred meters away from them. After the convergence of the Spiritual Qi, a light screen rose abruptly.
In the blink of an eye, the entire inlet of the Celestial Burial Valley was blocked by the light screen, which separated them from the guys outside. Meanwhile, black flames gushed out from the ground into the sky and were turned into a sea of black flames. Inside it, countless ghosts wrapped by black flames floated and gave off a horribly fervent aura that twisted the void.
These flames were the Mystical Fires added by Xu Que: The Eight Waste Destruction Flame!
“Considering the aura, is it . . . an Expert Spell?” Liu Jingning was completely shocked and her expression immediately changed.
Jiang Hongyan was also totally stunned.
They had noticed Xu Que setting up a spell yesterday. However, they hadn’t given it much thought—even Jiang Hongyan knew Xu Que could take extraordinary measures. But they had never expected Xu Que to set up an Expert Spell.
…
Outside the inlet, everyone stared with wide eyes.
“An . . . Expert Spell! Is he insane?”
“My Gos.h.!.+ The spell used to protect the mountain of our Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect is also an Expert Spell!”
“Now you’re talking! Except for the Jiang Family and the Gong Family, who can set up Spiritual Spells, only a few families and sects in the East Continent can afford to set up expert spells!”
“D*mn! This guy is really insane! Why did he set up an Expert Spell here?”
“This is a reckless waste of natural resources. This guy is totally lunatic! Sh*t!”
Hundreds of cultivators sent by the families and sects to spy on Jiang Hongyan were trembling and shouting in surprise. Headed by Dong Genji, people of the Carefree Building were also dumbfounded.
Then, a man beside Dong Genji regretfully said, “That guy is absolutely insane! If I knew he was setting up an Expert Spell, I would have robbed it from him just now!”
Everyone became quiet.
An Expert Spell couldn’t be evaluated with Spirit Stones or treasuries. Spell Masters were quite scarce in the East Continent. The Expert Spells were even rarer, which could only be obtained from the large auctions held every few decades.
The spell used to protect the Carefree Building was just an Intermediate Spell.
But now Xu Que had set up an Expert Spell to help Jiang Hongyan in holding the big families and sects off. It was a reckless waste of grain!
“An Expert Spell wasted like this! Alas!” The young girl who had kept staring at Xu Que shook her head and sighed regretfully.
“Where does that guy come from?” someone asked, glancing at Dong Genji.
Dong Genji’s face was quite dark and his heart was filled with rage.
He had underestimated Xu Que and lost an Expert Spell, which completely ruined his mood.
“Just now he said he was w.a.n.g Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Have you ever heard of this organization?” Dong Genji asked coldly.
People around him were immediately confused. Apparently, they hadn’t heard of it before.
One man in white among them started speaking with surprise in his voice. “I heard that during the Stone-Cutting Convention co-hosted by the Jiang Family and the Gong Family several days ago, a guy from the Exploding Heavens Faction made trouble and caused great loss to the three big families. But the name of that guy is Chow Yun-fat!”
“Really?”
“Yes. I heard that Chow Yun-fat of the Exploding Heavens Faction cooked a kind of Smelly Tofu there that could enhance any cultivators’ Soul Strength by ten percent!”
“What? How could such a thing exist in this world?”
“Heh-heh, it was nothing! He even took out a miraculous item which could look through the ancient stones. That miraculous item was purchased by the three big families with 5,000,000 high-grade Spirit Stones. However, Jiang Limu of the Jiang Family betrayed the alliance of the three big families by stealing the item. His whereabouts are still a mystery. For this, the Jiang Family suffered great loss by compensating the Gong Family and the Bai Family with three ancient cities!”
