What … what's going on?
Hush money?
Instantly, all the onlookers were stunned, including the powerhouses of the Imperial Palace!
When Xu Que announced that he would tell the world that they had killed the Young Master of the Saint Palace in such a sonorous and righteous way, the powerhouses of the Imperial Palace almost felt desperate!
Even the rest of the onlookers couldn't bear it anymore.
After all, everyone knew that once this matter was exposed, these powerhouses of the Imperial Palace would face a fate worse than death. Moreover, the Imperial Palace and the Saint Palace might go to war. At that time, the Xuanzhen Continent would inevitably be plunged into a chaotic war.
Who would have thought that this guy, who was speaking righteously just a second ago, would suddenly change the topic and ask for hush money the next second?
It turned out that all this commotion was just to ambush him for his hush money?
When the onlookers came to themselves, they almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This sudden despicable act was simply going to hurt someone's prostate!
Howl! "Little brat, you're awesome! Well said! Even if you don't pay me to keep my mouth shut, Your Holiness will still expose what happened today! It's up to you!" Buttface shouted excitedly. His face was full of arrogance and pride!
Obviously, it dared to show its head and put on an act just for this moment!
The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace twitched their mouths, but they were relieved. As long as they could stop the news from spreading, it was also a hope for them!
"My fellow cultivator, what do you want? As long as we have it, we will give it to you! "The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace said as they looked at Xu Que without any hesitation.
They knew clearly that Xu Que was the focus at this moment. Others didn't matter. Also, they believed that Xu Que would keep the news from being exposed after receiving hush money.
"I want whatever you have, except for a needle and a piece of thread, hand over everything else. Also, you will continue to be my cannon fodder. Is that okay?" Xu Que asked with a smile.
The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace felt suffocated instantly.
Except for a needle and a piece of thread, what else do you have?
Continue to be my cannon fodder?
That's too cruel! Why don't we just give you our lives?
"Holy crap! Why don't you say anything? Don't you agree? Alright, just you wait. This deity will go out and shout now. You guys are finished! " Buttface immediately clamored and wanted to rush out, as if no one could hold him back. However, he did not move a single step!
"Buttface, go!" Xu Que also shouted.
The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace immediately said, "Wait, fellow cultivator, we will give it to you!"
As they spoke, they gritted their teeth and took off all the storage rings on their hands before handing them over to Xu Que.
"Very good!" Xu Que didn't even look at it. He accepted it and threw it into the system inventory casually.
Everyone immediately blushed with shame. With one look, it was obvious that this was not the first time. He was a habitual offender!
Damn it, my Imperial Palace is a dignified Empress of a generation. How could she fall for such a bandit?
They couldn't help but look at Jiang Hongyan. However, Jiang Hongyan was still calm and emotionless, as if she had seen this kind of thing many times!
"OK, let's go! Our journey is the sea of stars!" At this time, Xu Que raised his arms and shouted to boost the team's morale.
Everyone's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
The sea of stars?
Damn you!
It's hard to say whether you can survive until the end! What sea of stars?
The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace were very helpless. Finally, they walked to the front of the team obediently and played the role of cannon fodder!
However, because of this, the rest of the journey was much easier for Xu Que.
No matter how weak these powerhouses of the Imperial Palace were, they were still the best in the Crossing Calamity Stage. Xu Que was quite relieved that they were responsible for solving problems in front of him.
Once there was danger, these powerhouses would be the first to be killed. Therefore, they had to focus on clearing the obstacles on the way.
However, to their surprise, the rest of the journey was quite smooth.
Although they saw a lot of Arrays and restrictive spells on the way, most of them had been destroyed. Some of them even disappeared due to the passage of time.
Along the way, they didn't encounter any danger for the next few days.
Hope was ignited in their hearts. If they kept going this way, they would soon find the location where Zhang Tiandao was and even reach the legendary end of the Road to Heavenly Ascension.
"According to the guidance of the map, we will find the place where Zhang Tiandao was trapped in several hours!" A powerhouse of the Imperial Palace said excitedly.
"So many years have passed. Maybe the Array has been broken!"
"Right! According to the record on the animal skin of Zhang Tiandao, the place where we can use the Space-Breaking Spell is the real end of the Road to Heavenly Ascension!"
"However, it's still hard to say. The Emperor said that he had found the end of the Road, but when he went there again, the end of the Road disappeared! I guess there may be more than one end of the Road to Heavenly Ascension, or there are many fake ends. Or … the end of the Road is always changing! "Someone guessed.
Although no one knew exactly where the end of the Road to Heavenly Ascension was and what was at the end, they were still determined to check it out. After all, it represented the hope of becoming a Celestial!
As for the Space-Breaking Spell, they had already given up on it. With Xu Que around, everyone knew they had no chance to get it!
The female apprentices of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion, the disbanded cultivators, and even the demonic beasts, all had mixed feelings at this moment!
Never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that a young man whom they looked down upon the moment they met would kill all the experts of the Saint Palace in just a few days. Even the Imperial Palace was not spared. The remaining experts of the Imperial Palace barely survived and served as cannon fodder!
This was a counterattack that none of them had expected. They had watched a young man at the Form Synthesis Stage, who was supposed to be at the bottom of the food chain, rise to the top of the food chain. Moreover, his means were so vicious that they didn't dare to resist him at all.
"We've really misjudged him this time!" The tall woman of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion smiled bitterly. Looking at the backs of Xu Que and the Water Empress, she sighed with emotion.
The rest of the women also nodded with mixed feelings.
At first, they couldn't figure out why the Water Empress would be with such a young man. But now, when they looked at the two of them walking side by side, they couldn't find anything wrong with them. Instead, they felt they were a match made in heaven!
…
At last, they kept moving forward.
Several hours later, they finally approached the place marked on the map.
"Here we are! We are finally here! "A powerhouse of the Imperial Palace shouted excitedly.
As long as they could find Zhang Tiandao and the Space-Breaking Spell, they would be able to find the end of the Road of Heavenly Ascension.
"We will see the Array that trapped Zhang Tiandao after we get around the passage in front of us!" A powerhouse said excitedly, nodding his head.
Xu Que squinted his eyes slightly, feeling more and more expectant.
The Space-Breaking Spell, the hope to help him return to Earth, was right in front of him!
"Let's go and check it out!" Xu Que shouted, waving his hand.
The rest of the people gathered their spirits and started to move forward.
At the same time, all of them were on high alert. If the Array that trapped Zhang Tiandao was still there, it meant there was a great danger waiting for them to overcome!
Rustle, rustle!
However, when they had just turned the corner of the passage in front of them, a gust of wind came. Then, they were blown in the face by strands of bone-chilling wind!
"Wait, stop!" Xu Que shouted immediately, frowning slightly.
All of a sudden, he sensed an ominous, inexplicable danger was approaching!
"Something is wrong with this place!" Jiang Hongyan also frowned and said in a low voice.
The rest of the people were shocked. They looked at the passage in front of them, but it was still pitch-black. They couldn't sense anything at all.
"Holy Senior, fellow cultivator, what's wrong with this place?" The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace also turned around and asked.
Xu Que shook his head. He also didn't know what was wrong with this place. Just like Jiang Hongyan, he felt something was wrong.
Howl!
Suddenly, Buttface let out a cry of surprise and shouted, "F * ck, f * ck, this place … seems like I've been here before. It's not a killing spell at all!"
