Chapter 1042: Yes! Yes! Yes!

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

In every corner of The Four Great Continents, several streams of light were shooting through the sky.

In the East Continent, several Cultivators were sneaking through the forests with great vigilance; they were in a state of extreme nervousness. They didn’t completely unwind until they had sneaked into a covert cave where they sat down and took a break.

One of them took an Immortal Elixir from the storage ring and handed it to a female Cultivator who was looking pale.

The female Cultivator was full of gratitude. After receiving the Immortal Elixir, she immediately refined and absorbed it into her body, gradually restoring a trace of health to her face. The others looked on, shook their heads, and sighed.

“Well now, different Ancient Cities are hunting us down and the medicines for our injuries have been used up. If we hadn’t been lucky enough to find an Immortal Elixir in the mountains, my wife’s injuries would have worsened.”

“When is this going to end!”

“We can only blame it on our luck! We had been identified as old members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, and now we can’t get rid of that identity!”

“What are you talking about? When we first joined the Exploding Heavens Faction, we promised our loyalty. How could you have such thoughts?”

“You’re right. Faction Leader Xu hasn’t been around, but when he’s back, the Exploding Heavens Faction will surely restore the glory of its former days!”

“Come on, Faction Leader Xu hasn’t appeared for more than a decade. I wonder if he died. And, even if he was back, how could he be on a par with those Immortal Cultivators?”

“That’s hard to say. With Faction Leader Xu’s talent, maybe he has already entered the Celestial Stage!”

“What if he was already dead?” Someone asked.

As soon as that was said, several people in the cave went silent. There was a general air of desolation. After all, with Xu Que’s temper and personality, if he met a stronger opponent outside, they were afraid that it would be hard for him to survive!

Swoosh!

At that moment, a ray of light shot above the cave and swept through the sky. Then, a deafening but familiar voice roared out!

“I’m Xu Que. I’m back!”

“Where’s my Exploding Heavens Faction?”

“There’s a matter I need to ask all of you. Are you willing to take part?”

Swoosh!

Instantly, several Cultivators in the cave suddenly stood up and were startled. But their eyes were full of surprise and happiness.

“He...he’s back!”

.....

At the same time, in the South Continent, in a faraway and secluded area, there was a small village protected and hidden away by spells. A ray of light darted through the sky above it.

“I’m Xu Que. I’m back!”

“Where’s my Exploding Heavens Faction?”

Xu Que’s voice resounded in all directions.

Instantly, several figures dashed out of the village, looked at the sky with startled expressions, and then felt extremely elated.

“Quick, go and inform Sect Leader that Xu Que has returned!”

“No, no, go and inform the Saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction.”

“Ah? But she is still in her secluded meditation. She suffered a lot of injuries last year. I’m afraid she hasn’t recovered yet!”

“What do you know? The Holy Virgin said before she went into secluded meditation that If Xu Que came back, even if she was in her secluded meditation, we had to inform her or she would kill us!”

“Sh*t, I’ll go now!”

...

And, in the North Sea, several Patriarchs of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe were seated inside their meeting room.

A ray of light bolted through the sky and Xu Que’s familiar voice roared out.

The entire Heaven Horn Ox Tribe fell into dead silence in an instant. Several Patriarchs in the meeting room stared blankly in a daze for a second before their expressions darkened.

“Bad news, use the art of soundless communication to inform the Immortal Cultivators: the greatest devil on the scene has returned!”

“By the way, tell the Bai Family in the East Continent and our allies in the South Continent and the West Desert!”

“I’m glad Xu Que has returned, I’ll surely be able to see him killed before my own eyes. Ha, ha, ha!” After those Patriarchs gave orders and instructions, they started laughing in the meeting room.

Almost everywhere in The Four Great Continents Xu Que’s Message Delivering Paper had been received. Some were happy, some were worried, and some were in fear! But there was one commonality, whether in the East Continent, the South Continent, the North Sea, or the West Desert, all of those from the Exploding Heavens Faction who were previously on the run now had their hopes rekindled!

“There’s a matter I need to ask all of you. Are you willing to take part?”

Xu Que’s voice had become the pillar of strength for all of them. It was a ray of light in their endless darkness of despair.

Numerous followers from the Exploding Heavens Faction clenched their fists and yelled at the sky.

“Yes!”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

“Those who don’t follow Xu Que aren’t a part of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”

His voice was loud, powerful, and deafening, and it reverberated through space.

The roars came from all directions, as if at that moment, all had made a joint effort to stage a comeback!

.....

On that same day, after Xu Que had sent out his Message Delivering Paper, he took Jiang Hongyan and his group directly to the Mystery Land of the South Continent.

Before dealing with the Immortal Cultivators, he had to know what had happened in the Mystery Land, and whether Su Ling’er, Su Yun Lan, and Xiao Rou were safe or not.

However, when he arrived outside the entrance to the Mystery Land of the South Continent, he realized that the black-robed man hadn’t lied; that place was completely sealed off. Rather than describing it as being sealed off, it was better to describe it as a complete disappearance.

When he had last stepped foot there, the place was full of Spiritual Qi, shrouded in mist, and brimming with mystery. The entrance was a valley decorated with green, freshwater, birds’ twitters, and the fragrance of flowers—it was an idyllic scene. But now the valley had become a wasteland, trampled by countless people and even bore many traces of battling; it was in a shambles.

Xu Que stood at the entrance of the valley, trying to connect with the place using his Soul Strength for a very long period of time. In addition, he even used his System, but he could not find the existence of the Mystery Land.

“It’s only slightly more than a decade. The change is too much!” Buttface sighed as he lamented at the sight.

Jiang Hongyan took a good look at the surroundings but finally shook her head lightly; she couldn’t find anything.

“Brother, don’t worry, it’ll be all right!” Xu Feifei comforted him. Although it was the first time she had come to The Four Great Continents, she had already learned many things about it from Xu Que. She also understood the importance of those people in the Mystery Land to Xu Que.

“There is no other way. I must find Duan Jiude and ask him what happened. Now I can’t tell whether the Mystery Land has been completely sealed off or completely disappeared!” Xu Que shook his head and clenched his fists. But it might also be good news for him, as long as he didn’t receive any news of their deaths.

“Faction Leader, since you sent out the Message Delivering Paper, I think Duan Jiude would certainly receive it and join you. And the other followers were perhaps already on their way to the South Continent. Why don’t we find a place to settle down first? Today, within The Four Great Continents, South Continent is still considered the safest!” The man in the black robes said.

Xu Que immediately raised his eyebrows, “South Continent is still safe? How is that so?”

“Faction Leader, The Four Great Continents weren’t really a treasured land. The Immortal Cultivators weren’t interested in it at all. What really interested them were the Nine Deathtraps of The Four Great Continents, such as the Celestial Burial Valley in the East Continent, Blood Separation River, Heaven Dragon Cave in the North Sea, Yin and Yang Land, Snow Devil Valley, Taoist Scriptures Mountain in the West Desert, Myriad Spell Temple, and the Mystery Land of South Continent!”

At the mention of the Mystery Land, the black-robed man smiled bitterly, “But the Mystery Land was sealed off. A group of Immortal Cultivators was here for several years but hadn’t been able to do anything. Most of them eventually withdrew from the place and left for the other three continents.”

“They came for the Nine Deathtraps?” Xu Que was startled. He had heard of the Nine Deathtraps, but they were too evil to enter and he had had no chance to even try entering with his strength as it had been then.

There was once when he went to the Xuanzhen Continent while Buttface sneaked out to the Celestial Burial Valley. And coincidentally, Buttface ran from the Celestial Burial Valley to the Road of Heavenly Ascension where he eventually met Xu Que.

It was unexpected that places he hadn’t set foot in were a target of the others, and those targeting were the Immortal Cultivators. Xu Que was a bit unhappy.

“Well, it was rumored that they entered the Nine Deathtraps and excavated wildly; seemingly dug out some Spiritual Links and discovered many Celestial Artifacts. Moreover, those Immortal Cultivators didn’t belong to the same faction. According to my inquiry, they were from three factions, with a population of over 100!” The black-robed man nodded as he replied.

Xu Que’s eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of his mouth rose, “These people are so tired of life that they dare to rob in my territory. If I don’t make them pay double for their misdeeds, I’ll curse myself to only have handsomeness in my life!”

The black-robed man was surprised, and a corner of his mouth twitched, He was speechless.

Curse yourself to only have handsomeness in your life?

What kind of curse was that!

“Boy, stop boasting. You should start to plan now. Your Holiness’s knife is already hungry and thirsty!” Buttface was a little excited and thought Xu Que was ready to do something again.

Xu Que waved his hand, as he called out the System interface and looked at the superb collection of merchandise in his System store. He chuckled and replied, “It doesn’t matter what the plan is! The rule of thumb of the Exploding Heavens Faction has always been this—life and death aren’t important, fight when you’re not willing to give in!”
