Slap!
At this critical moment, a crisp sound was heard.
Xu Que was quick to react. He immediately patted Buttface's head and held him down.
This lake contained the Soul Marrow. If Buttface jumped into it and swam, his Soul would be poisoned! "Ow!
"Howl! Little brat, let go of me. I want to swim. D * mn, why are you lifting me up? Howl …" Buttface cursed and struggled with all his might. However, Xu Que picked him up and threw him out of the cave.
Then, he waved his hands to seal the entrance of the cave with several restrictive spells to prevent Buttface from running in and making noise.
"OK, I finally got rid of him. Now I can practice in peace!" Xu Que clapped his hands and turned around.
Jiang Hongyan was sitting in front of the Soul Marrow with her legs crossed. The mask on her face had been taken off. Her delicate and beautiful face was breathtaking.
Xu Que approached her with a cheeky smile and said warmly, "Come on, let's practice together and dominate the world."
As he spoke, his hands started to move toward Jiang Hongyan's shoulders.
Jiang Hongyan smiled and said, "Little brat, are you sure you want to stay here with me?"
Her clear and bright eyes were fixed on Xu Que.
Apparently, she had figured out that with Xu Que's character, it was impossible for him to perform Secluded Cultivation in such a place. That would be worse than killing him.
"Go for a walk. Remember to come back after a month. I will wait for you here!" Before Xu Que could say anything, Jiang Hongyan said gently.
She was very considerate. She didn't want Xu Que to force himself to stay here because of her. She even hoped that Xu Que wouldn't feel restricted when he was with her.
Moreover, it only took a month to condense his soul. At that time, he could take the Soul Marrow with him. There was no need for him to hide here for closed-door cultivation.
"No, I want to stay here. I can't be without you for even a minute!"
Xu Que didn't want to leave anymore. He held Jiang Hongyan in his arms shamelessly and said those mushy words.
Fortunately, Buttface was not in the cave. Otherwise, he would have vomited blood on the spot.
Jiang Hongyan pursed her lips and smiled. Looking at Xu Que leaning on her like a child, she shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She couldn't do anything about Xu Que.
"Hey, kid, come out quickly. This deity has made a huge discovery!"
Just at this moment, Buttface unexpectedly broke open a small gap in Xu Que's restrictive spell and squeezed his head in. He shouted excitedly, "Xu Que!
Holy shit!
Buttface, you're ruining my plans again?
Xu Que stood up immediately and looked at Buttface's head angrily.
Buttface, who didn't know what was going on, tried his best to drill into the gap of the restrictive spell. He shouted excitedly, "Hurry up, little brat! The trap I set up two months ago has finally caught a salted fish!"
"What the hell? You know how to set up a trap? "Xu Que frowned.
Rumble!
Before he had time to think about it, a deafening noise came from outside the cave. Then the whole mountain was shaking.
"Holy shit! Buttface, what have you done? The cave is going to collapse! " Xu Que's eyes widened. He had finally found a quiet place to cultivate with Jiang Hongyan, but now it was all ruined!
"Kid, let's leave first!" Jiang Hongyan stood up without hesitation.
They knew that if they used their magic arts, they would be able to protect the cave!
However, according to the movement outside, it seemed that a great catastrophe had taken place. At least hundreds of cultivators were fighting, and they were approaching. Therefore, there was no need to waste energy to protect this insignificant cave!
However, there was no need to protect the cave. They had to take the Soul Marrow!
"System, take all the Soul Marrow away!" Xu Que summoned the System immediately.
Whoosh!
A ray of light gushed out from his body and turned into an invisible, mysterious force. Just like when he collected the Living Holy Water, all the Soul Marrow in the lake was sucked dry.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he found that there was a faint white light at the bottom of the dry lake.
"What!"
Xu Que couldn't help but move closer. He was shocked by what he saw.
At the bottom of the lake, there was a milky white crystal, at least as big as a watermelon.
"Soul Marrow!" Jiang Hongyan also saw it and couldn't help but be surprised.
"This is a crystal formed by the accumulation of the Soul Marrow over a long period of time. A small piece is comparable to the whole lake. I didn't expect this Soul Marrow to be so big. How many years has it been since someone came here?" She frowned and was a little puzzled.
"Don't think about it. Let's get out of here first!" Xu Que immediately waved his hand and put away the large Soul Marrow Crystal. Then, he took Jiang Hongyan's hand and rushed out of the cave.
Buttface followed them excitedly. He didn't forget to shout, "This Deity has succeeded!", which almost made Xu Que go back and slap him to death.
However, when they rushed out of the cave, they found that the outside of the cave had collapsed and the mountain rocks were rolling down.
The loud noise in the distance was still going on. Countless people were screaming and wailing.
There was a trace of light red in the waterfall that was rushing down from upstream, emitting a bloody smell. Then, the red color gradually deepened and the bloody smell became stronger.
"Buttface, what did you do?" Xu Que couldn't help but look at Buttface and frown.
If the waterfall was dyed with blood, it meant that at least hundreds of people had died on the mountain!
Buttface was a little confused and said in horror, "Damn, how could so many people have died?"
Then, he immediately shook his head. "No, something must be wrong. Two months ago, this Deity passed by the valley behind, but the entrance was blocked by a huge rock. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break it open. So, this Deity stuck a talisman on the huge rock to lure others to break the entrance! The loud noise just now was obviously the huge rock being blown open, but how could so many people have died? "
"What kind of talisman did you stick?" Xu Que was speechless. Buttface didn't look like he was lying. Maybe this matter had nothing to do with him.
"It's nothing!" Buttface scratched his head in confusion and said, "It's just an ordinary piece of yellow paper. This Deity wrote 'Tear it up and your whole family will die. If you don't agree, come in and fight'!"
"…" Xu Que's mouth suddenly twitched. This Buttface really knew how to play.
"This is a big deal. Could it be that those people were crushed to death after the giant rock was smashed?" Buttface asked. "That's right.
"The huge rock smashed people to death? That doesn't happen! " Xu Que couldn't help but shake his head. He glanced at the messy mountain in the distance and sneered. "I'm afraid there's some treasure hidden behind the huge rock. That's why it caused such chaos! But … "
Xu Que frowned. "The situation doesn't seem right. Normally, even if they were fighting for the treasure, there's no reason for so many people to die in such a short time!"
He had observed the people on the Road of Heavenly Ascension. Most of them were above the Void Training Stage. Few of them were below the Void Training Stage. Therefore, even if they were fighting to the death, there was no reason for so many people to die in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, hey, hey! Little brat, look! Why is the blood in the river flowing upstream? Holy sh * t! Is this haunted? "Buttface pointed at the river and the waterfall and shouted in surprise at this time.
Hearing that, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan turned around immediately. Then, they were shocked.
The huge waterfall and river were still flowing downwards as usual.
However, the blood in the river seemed to be drawn away by someone from above, and it actually flowed against the flow of the river!
"How could this be?"
Suddenly, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan raised their heads again and looked at the mountain in the distance. Then, their faces became serious!
A strange aura and an ominous premonition were slowly spreading out.
