Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

All the rest of the people in this area were dumbfounded by disbelief. The woman’s mind almost went blank. Seeing Xu Que run away, she never expected that he would do that.

He said he almost couldn’t help but commit a crime!

It turns out that the crime mentioned by this guy was robbery!

Howl! “Holy crap! Little brat, wait for me!” At this time, Buttface came to himself and shouted, as he also ran away following Xu Que.

The woman also came to herself. She was so angry that her body was trembling. She said, clenching her teeth, “How dare this abhorrent rascal tease me and rob my treasure!”

“Elder Qin, we’ll punish him for you!” The powerhouses of the Lu Family volunteered to chase Xu Que.

“That won’t be necessary. This guy will definitely go to the Refined Moon Palace in three days from now. And I will punish him severely at that time!” The woman waved her hand, her eyes were full of scorn.

“What? Will you also go to the Refined Moon Palace?” The powerhouses of the Lu Family were surprised. They knew clearly that the Refined Moon Palace was full of danger. And a powerhouse like her would face a more dangerous situation in it! Normally, powerhouses at the Gold Level wouldn’t risk their lives in it easily. But this Elder Qin said she would go to the Refined Moon Palace, which threw the powerhouses of the Lu Family into panic immediately.

“Elder Qin, please think twice!”

“Right! It is not necessary for a powerhouse like you to take risks in the Refined Moon Palace!”

“We have plenty of opportunities to deal with that guy!”

They tried to urge Elder Qin to change her decision.

In First Realm City, the Dong Family could prosper because of the support of Elder Yu’s sect. This Elder Qin, whose name was Qin Zhen, was from the sect behind the Lu Family. Her status was even higher than the leader of the Lu Family. If she was killed or wounded in the Refined Moon Palace, the Lu Family would lose protection immediately.

“Although the Refined Moon Palace is dangerous, I have my ways to handle it. It’s not necessary to overthink it! Also, before he arrives in the Refined Moon Palace, you should stay away from that little rascal. You can’t afford to offend him!” After saying that, Qin Zhen turned around and walked toward the city.

The powerhouses of the Lu Family looked at each other and didn’t know what to do. They turned to the direction where Xu Que had escaped and gave up the plan of chasing Xu Que at last. They were not afraid of Xu Que, but didn’t dare to disobey Qin Zhen’s order.

“OK, we just let that guy live several days longer!”

“Humph! He will definitely be killed by Elder Qin!”

“Heh, heh, I believe Elder Qin is powerful enough to render him pain in living death!”

“Exactly! Even if he could survive the trip to the Refined Moon Palace, we could deal with him then!”

They chatted in low voices and cold smiles reappeared on their faces.

Boom!

Just at this moment, a dull sound came from above. An inexplicable sense of danger covered them, which froze their blood.

“Oh, no!”

They looked up and changed their expressions abruptly. They saw Xu Que was smiling at them from the sky with a dazzling fiery lotus with three colors in his hand.

“Hah, hah, what are you talking about, dumbasses? Do you really think I’ve left in this way? Members of the Exploding Heavens Faction always take revenge on the spot! So, all of you could die now!” Xu Que laughed as he threw the fiery lotus in his hand.

The powerhouses of the Lu Family’s eyes widened in disbelief. Apparently, they didn’t expect Xu Que would come back and attack them with such a horrible move!

Whoosh!

At this time, the three-color fiery lotus had appeared in front of them by passing through the void. The fiery lotus was rotating with a creepy glow. The next moment, the glow became more dazzling. The fiery lotus just blossomed and exploded in front of them!

Rumble–!

The deafening explosion echoed all around in this area. The magnificent sea of fire, which could devour everything, covered the entire area instantly.

“No....” The powerhouses of the Lu Family yelled hysterically.

At this moment, they figured out the meaning of Elder Qin’s warnings before her departure. They couldn’t afford to offend this guy for he was even more powerful than the powerhouses at the Gold Level. However, it was too late for them to realize that.

While they were shouting, their bodies were being devoured by the sea of fire. Then everything was turned to ashes in the violent flame, and the ashes were blown away by the wind.

“You are too weak to kill me!” Xu Que sneered as he flew away, stepping on lightning.

These powerhouses at the Silver Level were treated as cultivators at the Form Synthesis Stage automatically by the System. Their death brought Xu Que a lot of Experience Points now that Xu Que had reached Level 10 of the Form Synthesis Stage. Before his Heavenly Tribulation, all Experience Points would be saved in the storage pool of Experience Points automatically.

Now Xu Que had started to give himself a free hand to kill anyone who dared to offend him because he had made clear the strength of the powerhouses in the Taijin Continent. The most powerful powerhouses at the Gold Level were equivalent to cultivators at the summit of the Great Vehicle Stage.

However, these powerhouses at the Gold Level only had tough physiques. They also had some magic arts, but they didn’t have any Taoist Connotation. They were just like Xu Que had been many years ago, who only had magic arts but had no Taoist Connotation. Therefore, he couldn’t kill any cultivator with a Taoist Connotation.

In other words, if the powerhouses of the Taijin Continent attacked him and he didn’t take any defensive measures, he would only be wounded, but he would never be killed easily. A cultivator lived together with his Taoist Connotation. This was the way of the World of Cultivators!

Howl! “Little brat, why are you back again? Damn! You are wasting my time!” Buttface ran back unhappily at this time. He complained, “Also, the Holy Senior, your sister, and the serpent said they would wait outside the city. But I couldn’t find them! This is so annoying!”

“What? What did you say?” Hearing that, Xu Que raised his eyebrows as he looked at Buttface.

Meanwhile, he started to check that area with his Soul Strength. As expected, the aura of Jiang Hongyan and the rest of the members of his team had disappeared.

“What happened? How could they disappear?” Xu Que couldn’t help but frown.

According to Hongyan’s style, if she agreed to wait outside, she would definitely be there. And it was impossible for her to take Xu Feifei away!

“Buttface, just sniff out this area to find possible traces!” Xu Que shouted at Buttface immediately.

“OK!” Buttface also realized something was wrong. Without hesitation, he started to sniff out traces. Soon, he shook his head and said, “No, I can’t get any clue. I’ve just finished my bowel movements and forgot to wipe my ass. Now my nose is full of smell of poop!”

“...”

Xu Que almost spat blood because of anger. But the situation was quite urgent and he didn’t want to waste his time on Buttface. The next moment, he flew away with Buttface and landed at the place where Jiang Hongyan was supposed to have waited when they left. Then, he waved his hand and his eyes were covered by Taoist Connotation and True Core Strength!

Whoosh!

The next moment, a strand of dazzling light appeared in Xu Que’s inky eyes. He looked around and tried to find some clues.

“What?” He shouted in surprise suddenly and fixed his eyes on several big trees. Those big trees, which were planted from north to south, had strands of crystal liquids, which looked quite familiar.

Could it be...?

It seemed something had occurred to Xu Que, who turned to Buttface’s head. As expected, those crystal liquids were exactly the same as the hair lotion on Buttface’s head, which had been left by the toy poodle several days ago.

“Little brat, what did you find? What? Are these...?” Buttface walked up and saw those crystal liquids. He touched the liquid with his paw. Then he tasted his paw by licking it. The next moment, he rushed to the tree as if he had found something precious and shouted excitedly,

“Holy crap! This is hair lotion! Awesome! Don’t waste it! Little brat, do you want to join me to wash our hair together?”
