Ten days later, more than 100 campsites of the Heaven Orc Tribe were in a total mess. The curse letter, which had started as a joke, had created a horrible atmosphere throughout the campsites.
After all, in the World of cultivators, there was a kind of magic art at work creating the curse. It was said that some soldiers in the campsite who had just lost their parents were trying to discover who had sent out the curse letters. It was also said that some soldiers had realized their dreams, so they were giving a thousand thanks to the curse letter and thought it was an exciting experience.
In the front line area, the authenticity of almost all of this hearsay was being confirmed. Of course, most of it was “confirmed” by Xu Que, who always appeared in some crowded place to propagate the effect of the curse letters. One day, he complained tearfully in front of a lot of soldiers that his family had met with misfortune, and that even his dog had been killed by others, after he tore up the curse letter.
The next day, he would appear in another campsite to flaunt his good luck after sending a curse letter by holding Jiang Hongyan in his arms. In this way, he created a baneful influence. The soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe were in no mood for training. All of them were considering the recipient of their next curse letter, or worrying about their families after tearing the curse letter into pieces. Some soldiers who had sent the curse letters to others were looking forward to the arrival of their beloved girls!
The morale in all the campsites of the Heaven Orc Tribe was quite low. At last, the generals couldn’t sit quietly anymore. Even the Commander in Chief at the Great Vehicle Stage was startled by this situation.
“No, we have to stop this.Otherwise, we will be defeated easily!” The Commander in Chief ordered all the generals to discipline their soldiers. The generals had to obey his order by searching the campsites and issuing an order: “Possession of curse letters is strictly prohibited. Violations will be severely punished!”
However, the quantity of the curse letters in the campsites was already huge! In each campsite, almost two-thirds of the soldiers were arrested and punished severely. Therefore, the defense of the front line area became weak because of the shorthanded patrols.
“Hongyan, it’s time! We will leave tonight!” Xu Que asked Jiang Hongyan to go with him to a campsite near the front line. During this period, he had scoped out the time and path of all patrols. Now the opportunity had presented itself. It was the perfect time for them to leave.
That night, they went to the front line and pretended to idle around. They were spotted by a patrol immediately. “You two, stop! We don’t have enough soldiers. You should go with us!” The team leader of the patrol shouted.
“Yes, sir!” Xu Que replied resentfully as he walked toward the patrol together with Jiang Hongyan. Actually, he was laughing to himself. To join a patrol was the best way to approach the restrictive spells at the front line.
“Buddy, don’t be resentful! You should blame those curse letters that were being circulated recently. The Commander in Chief was quite angry about this situation. The generals had to punish their soldiers severely, which caused this short-handed situation!” The team leader consoled Xu Que after noticing his resentful expression.
Xu Que nodded his head and said, spitting strenuously on the ground, “Damn! If I knew who sent those curse letters at the very beginning, I would beat him to death!”
“Hey, buddy, don’t talk nonsense! That curse is quite weird. If you have received them, I suggest you also copy them and send them out. You might be beaten up by the generals at most, but it is much better than misfortune in your family!” Someone reminded him in a low voice.
Xu Que shouted angrily, patting his chest, “I fear nothing in this world! I will even beat that Buttface of the Exploding Heavens Faction, let alone that curse letter!”
The rest of the soldiers of the patrol were surprised by his words, “Buddy, you are awesome!”
Xu Que waved his hand, “Hey, you flatter me!”
Jiang Hongyan, who was standing beside Xu Que, was totally amused by Xu Que’s actions.
Rumble!
All of a sudden, a big bang came from the sky above the vast front line. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. It seemed the void was almost torn apart!
“Holy shit! What happened?” Xu Que was surprised. Could it be that the curse is for real? I’ve just finished acting tough and someone tries to strike me with lightning and thunder!
“What the hell? Buddy, where is your courage? This is a battlefield. The Void Disintegration is quite normal. Why are you so flustered?” One soldier in the patrol said disdainfully. His words reminded Xu Que of what was going on and he kept his mouth shut.
Jiang Hongyan had told him the Immortal Hall shouldn’t have landed in this place. The reason was the Void Disintegration caused by the bloody battles between the cultivators at the Crossing Calamity Stage or even at the Great Vehicle Stage in this battlefield. They were just in the Void Passage at this position at that time. Although the battle was ended temporarily, the cracked void hadn’t been healed yet. Therefore, the lightning and thunder that appeared suddenly in this area were quite normal. Xu Que looked at the void. Some dust was rolled up by the wild wind and disappeared in the void instantly.
“That’s enough. Let’s go out on patrol now. We shall guard this area for at least two nights!” The team leader of the patrol shouted impatiently at this time. The patrol moved out again.
Then, Xu Que winked at Jiang Hongyan.
Whoosh!
The next moment, they launched an attack at the same time. Jiang Hongyan waved her hand. Several towering soldiers in front of her were killed instantly by strands of golden light. Flop! Their dead bodies toppled down to the ground.
Xu Que’s King of Tough-Acting Fist was too noisy. He didn’t dare to use it. Therefore, he had to knock the soldiers unconscious with the black stick, which was quite efficient.
In several seconds, they wiped out the patrol easily without being noticed by others. Now, this area was occupied by them temporarily.
“What should we do to deal with those restrictive spells?” Jiang Hongyan asked as she looked at Xu Que. Now, they could go back to mankind’s territory if they could break these spells without being discovered by other patrols. But these restrictive spells were quite powerful. Even cultivators at the Great Vehicle Stage couldn’t break them quietly. The two of them could never get through this area easily.
“I studied these spells. If we fly over them without using our True Core Strength, we won’t trigger any restrictive spells!” Xu Que smiled as he activated the System interface.
Jiang Hongyan was surprised. How could we fly over it without using our True Core Strength?
How could this be?
Soon, she recalled Xu Que used to lead troops to land from the sky by flying through a valley in the Holy Mountain of Snow City without using his True Core Strength. At that time, she, who was in the Holy Ground, was also shocked.
Whoosh!
At this time, Xu Que purchased a Qunjet from the System Store. The Qunjet was produced by S.H.I.E.L.D. It was a fast stealth fighter. It couldn’t be detected by radar, and could even be totally invisible! In such circumstances, Xu Que preferred to use some high-tech items to solve his problems.
“Follow me, little girl. Let Brother Xu Que take you flying!” Xu Que held Jiang Hongyan’s hand in his hand with a smile. Jiang Hongyan was shocked by this gigantic jet fighter. But she trusted Xu Que and so she stepped into it curiously.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the cabin door was closed. Xu Que sat in the pilot’s seat. Then, he pressed the stealth button as he activated the engine of the jet fighter. The entire Qunjet disappeared on the spot. Then, it sprang into the air and dashed toward the horizon!
…
Meanwhile, outside the Celestial Burial Valley in the East Continent, a man and a dog were wandering in puzzlement.
“Buttface, what do you think of this?”
“Shut up! Duan Jiude, if you continue to show no respect for your Patriarch, I will smash you with my palm! Damn! That little brat was so cunning. He left us alone, but we have to perform secluded cultivation in the Mystery Land of the South Continent!”
“Nonsense! Anyway, my Master could ensure the safety of those girls. Now we should find a way to have fun!”
“What could we do? I was told that Xu Que appeared in this place dozens of days ago. But he didn’t show up till now. Even that bronze hall also disappeared!” Buttface said out of boredom.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, several black scraps of paper fell down from the sky. The scraps drifted away with the wind, but one scrap landed in front of Buttface and Duan Jiude.
“What? This black scrap of paper is so weird! Could it be a miraculous treasure? Hah-hah-hah! See, Duan Jiude, I’ve found a treasure!” Buttface shouted in joy as he grabbed that scrap of paper.
“Hey, don’t act shamelessly! You should share it with me!”
Duan Jiude moved closed and started to read the content of that scrap of paper.
“I am Buttface of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Tens of thousands of years ago, I died in a great battle between celestials and devils.…”
“Holy shit!”
“Holy shit! My God!”
Duan Jiude and Buttface were dumbfounded by what they saw. Buttface was totally disgusted by the content as if he had eaten some excrement.
A curse letter?
Who the hell did this?
