Swoosh!
The four survivors of the Saint Palace were stunned, and shock filled their faces. They couldn’t believe that their Young Master would still defend Xu Que when things had come to this point.
What the hell was he trying to do?
“Young Master, pardon me for asking this rude question. We have lost more than 30 lives of the Saint Palace. Are they less important than this kid?” A powerhouse snarled, his expression furious. He had not yet pulled out the sharp sword from his stomach. He was too taken aback to remember that he must heal, and so blood was still gushing out from his wound.
Another man also roared, “This little bastard has killed more than 30 of us. Are we supposed to forgive and forget what he did to us, simply because you said that we should forgive him?”
“Atrocious!” Wei Zixun retorted with a cold face. “I have made it very clear that nobody can stop me from forgiving him. Even if you die – even if he kills me – I will still forgive him without hesitation. This is just a trifle. Why are you guys so agitated over a trifle? ‘
“Young Master, you….” The four survivors stared at each other with wide eyes, incomparably confused.
A small trifle?
You call this a small trifle? That we’re kicking up a fuss?
Oh my god, has a donkey kicked you in the head?
They were so confused at this moment that they had no idea what they were going to do, to the point that they even wanted to vomit blood!
However, in Wei Zixun’s eyes, these were trivial matters. The effect of the Forgiveness Hat was to weaken his hatred toward Xu Que indefinitely and alter a part of his senses.
Therefore, his reaction was the total opposite of the logical response of ordinary people. The more one hates a person, the more they want to kill them. However, with the influence of the forgiveness hat, the more Wei Zixun hates Xu Que, the more he wants to forgive him.
Therefore, people were feeling that Wei Zixun was acting abnormally, which he was. However, in Wei Zixun’s eyes, he thought that those others were the strange ones who weren’t acting normally.
“Say no more, or else don’t blame me for being ruthless. I won’t hesitate to execute old men who dare defy their superiors!” Wei Zixun said coldly, as murder intent flashed through his eyes. After all, to him, his subordinates of the Saint Palace had dared to ignore his words and disobey his orders. They were no different from traitors.
However, the four cultivators were even more annoyed and mad.
What is the use of a Young Master when he wants to kill the four of us for an outsider, and a shameless outsider at that?
“Very well, Young Master! Since you refuse to realize your errors, I will kill this man today, even if it means that I betray the Saint Palace!” The four powerhouses had quickly reached a decision. They could hardly suppress the anger in their hearts. All they wanted to do was to kill Xu Que. Also, they firmly believed that the Lord of the Saint Palace would not blame them even if he caught wind of what had happened. The current young master was acting too strangely. He was not the ruthless young master they had always known.
“All fellow cultivators of the Imperial Palace, please help us to take this man down. The Saint Palace will be forever grateful!” A powerhouse turned to the Imperial Palace for help.
They knew that Xu Que had extraordinary strength. Unless they joined hands with the people of the Imperial Palace, they would not be able to take Xu Que down. However, the powerhouses of the Imperial Palace all looked at them strangely.
Join hands?
Join, your ass!
This fellow’s insanely powerful! He could break the illusory spell with just some magic art. Who could kill him? Unless some Great Vehicle Stage cultivator decides to pass by! The Imperial Palace powerhouses pretended to be deaf and dumb, playing that they did not hear anything and avoided the eyes of the powerhouses of the Saint Palace.
This strange scene immediately sank the hearts of the four survivors of the Saint Palace, leaving them chilled and cold. “What’s the meaning of this, dear friends of the Imperial Palace? Will this dissolve the alliance between the Imperial Palace and the Saint Palace?” A Saint Palace strongman was immediately outraged.
“He is just a kid in the Form Synthesis Stage. If we join hands, capturing him would be a piece of cake! What are you afraid of?”
“Are all the people of the Imperial Palace just a bunch of cowards?” Several other Saint Palace powerhouses also shouted angrily.
The Imperial Palace cultivators’ faces immediately turned dark, and they bellowed, “Fellow cultivators, you’re wrong to say that!”
“How can you harm this chivalrous young man with all his kindness! He broke the illusory spell and set you guys free!”
“Yes, if he hadn’t broken the spell, you would never have survived!”
“I can’t imagine that these are the people of the Saint Palace. It chills my heart!”
“Our Imperial Palace strongly condemns such acts as biting the hand that feeds one!”
Suddenly, those from the Imperial Palace began to blame them shamelessly. The four Saint Palace powerhouses were so mad that one of them roared, “What do you mean? Requiting kindness with enmity? He was the one who threw us into the spell in the first place!”
“But he saved you again!” The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace answered.
“Crap, you stinky, shameless creatures….”
“Damn, I despise your mother!”
“I curse your entire family!”
Immediately, the scene began to be chaotic. The four strong men of the Saint Palace and the people of the Imperial Palace clashed in a huge confrontation, spouting all kinds of dirty words about each other
The rest of the audience looked on in disbelief, and their eyes went dull.
Xu Que also shook his head dumbfoundedly and sighed, “Ah, the human heart!”
If he hadn’t been as strong as he was, he would have been the man under siege. No, if he hadn’t been powerful enough, he might not even have made it into the cave. He would have been besieged and killed when he was standing outside with Jiang Hongyan.
However, now he could stand safely on the sidelines and watch the fight between the Imperial Palace and the Saint Palace. It all boiled down to the fact that he was strong enough! Therefore, in the face of this situation, Xu Que would not interfere. He was honestly thrilled to see this scene!
…
Eventually, everyone from the Imperial Palace got more and more annoyed, and the scalding battle upgraded to a physical struggle. The two sides collided and spells roared. However, the Imperial Palace, with the advantage of numbers, easily crushed the four survivors of the Saint Palace who were already injured anyway.
“Atrocious! How dare the Imperial Palace commit such barbarity!” Wei Zixun flared up instantly. Although he was wearing the forgiveness hat, the effect of forgiveness only applied to Xu Que. If Xu Qu did not participate in these matters, Wei Zixun’s attitude would ultimately be as it usually was.
In the face of the Imperial Palace’s crusade, how could he, the young master of the Saint Palace, sit quietly aside?
The Imperial Palace won by a landslide despite them being at the same cultivation stage. They won in the end because they had more fighters.
The magic spells killed the four survivors of the Saint Palace on the spot, reducing them to ashes! Wei Zixun bled all over but still stood upright. A dozen bodies of the Imperial Palace collapsed at his feet, which showed how powerful he still was.
However, no matter how strong he was, he was still just at the Crossing Calamity Stage. Outnumbered, he was an arrow at the end of its flight after killing more than a dozen people one after another. With a bang, Wei Zixun finally fell and lost his life to the bombardment of the powerful imperial palace men’s magic arts!
The whole cave fell into instant dead silence.
The remaining Imperial Palace powerhouses were slightly stunned, and their eyes swept toward the comrade who made the last hit.
“What have you done? Who told you to kill him?” Several people roared angrily on the spot. The other people in the Saint Palace can be killed if they fight back. They should never execute the Young Master!
However, in front of the public, all had witnessed that they had killed the Young Master of the Saint Palace. Should the news spread, not only would a few of them be left with no way to live, even the whole Imperial Palace would be affected!
“I…I don’t know either. I thought he would go on fighting. How could I know that? The mighty Imperial Palace powerhouse, the one who killed Wei Zixun, looked at his hands incredibly in a panic. He could not accept the fact either!
At that moment, Xu Que came forward slowly. He sighed as he shook his head, “You guys are so muddle-headed! What can I say? That’s the Young Master of the Saint Palace! How could you kill him? What do we do now?
“This….” Several powerful Imperial Palace cultivators quickly turned pale.They hadn’t expected things to spiral out of control this much. The important issue was that so many people had witnessed this scene. The secret couldn’t be hidden.
“Fellow cultivator….” An Imperial Palace cultivator looked at Xu Que, trying to see if he could help.
“Don’t call me your fellow cultivator. I don’t know people like you!” Xu Que immediately waved him away, his tone righteous and indignant. “You guys have gone too far! The bright eyes of the people have recorded your crimes, and they will not forget it for a lifetime!”
Several Imperial Palace strongmen instantly turned pale and shivered. Despair quickly filled their eyes.
Xu Que continued, one word at a time, “Today, we will lay equal stress on both beauty and wisdom. It will be the form of justice and chivalry. Nothing can stop our determination to expose your crimes to the world!”
As soon as he said that, Xu Que paused, “Unless, of course, you could give us satisfactory hush money!”
