Chapter 1487: Dangerous Hidden Restrictive Barrier

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

After watching and listening to Xu Que, most of the disciples of the Heaven Palace Academy decided to flee, and one by one they rushed out of the Academy as if they were running for their lives.

Once considered one of the greatest forces in the Heaven Continent, the Heaven Palace Academy had been decimated and evacuated in one single day.

The man who had founded the Heaven Palace Academy, Li Xuanqi, had been killed, the younger generation of Deans and Deputy Deans were also dead, and all the rest of the Elders had been destroyed. Who would still dare to continue to remain and support this Academy?

In addition, Xu Que had issued extremely harsh words saying that he was going to take over the Heaven Continent. As the remaining disciples of the Academy were not stupid, they realized that it would be impossible to take up any positions against Xu Que.

They left the palace, with all its attendant trouble, and rushed back home to their own forces, bursting to spread the shocking news of what had taken place on this day.

As Xu Que took over the Heaven Palace Academy, he dashed straight to the Academy’s Treasure Pavilion, surprising no one.

Previously, when he had been disguised as his own father and used the Deputy Dean’s ID to enter the Treasure Pavilion, he had failed to empty it because there had been an Elder watching over the Treasure Pavilion.

Now that the Heaven Palace Academy was practically empty, the enormous Treasure trove of gold, which was described to be almost as high as a mountain, was just waiting for Xu Que to excavate it.

“The inside information about this Treasure Pavilion seems very unusual. There may be a generation of relics from the Heaven Palace Academy. Earlier, Your Holiness didn’t have the time to search carefully. Now I want to excavate at least three feet deep into it.” Buttface stood outside the Treasure Pavilion, bursting with excitement, his eyes sparkling.

“I, an old man, remember that time we were here before. We all sensed that there was some restrictive barrier hidden in the Treasure Pavilion, and it was a pity that powerful beings were in charge and we couldn’t sneak in and search. Now we can just go in and take a look at what secrets are hidden inside.” Duan Jiude also looked as if he was raring to go.

Rifling through houses, confiscating possessions, robbing graves, and plundering of all other assets were obviously what they were most interested in.

“Hurry up and let’s go. We still have to take a trip over to the Sage Sect later.” Xu Que waved his hands and took the lead, stepping forward. He slammed his hands on the restrictive barrier on the door of the Treasure Pavilion, and it was instantly broken.

“F*ck!”

The next moment, the door automatically sprang open, and a breeze blew out of it.

“F*ck!”

“What’s happening?”

“Has the inside of the room already been looted?”

“What about the Spirit Stones, Elixirs, and Magic Arts that were inside?”

As soon as the door opened, Buttface and Duan Jiude couldn’t stop exclaiming.

Xu Que also frowned. He was momentarily stunned.

The whole Treasure Pavilion was empty. The countless natural treasures that had originally been arranged on the racks against the wall had been picked clean.

“D*mn, boy, quickly look, there’s a hole here. Someone has been a step ahead of us.” Buttface’s eyes got a vicious look in them as he saw a hole in the corner of the Treasure Pavilion, which actually looked like a hole that a dog had dug from the outside.

“What? The size and method of this dog hole... Master Buttface, did you do it?” Duan Jiude looked at the dog hole and immediately fixed a suspicious look on Buttface.

Buttface almost jumped out of his skin with anger and said furiously, “Bullsh*t, Your Holiness wanted to enter here without any tricks. Why would I need to resort to using this kind of underhanded means?”

“Yes, you would.” Duan Jiude was convinced that Buttface had made the hole.

“Don’t argue. This thing was not done by Buttface.” Xu Que waved his hands and walked straight toward the hole, picking up a handful of golden fur from the ground.

Some golden fur had also been left behind at the edge of the hole. There were also remnants of light footprints left on the ground, shaped like lotus flowers, but slim as a person’s thumb.

Obviously, these were not traces that had been left by Buttface.

“Well, what kind of fur is this?” Duan Jiude rushed forward at this time.

Buttface’s nose twitched a few times, and he said with a face full of anger, “Who cares what kind of fur this is? Anyway, Your Holiness didn’t do this thing. You’ve falsely accused Your Holiness and sullied Your Holiness’s name. How are you going to make up to me for this insult?”

“I’m sorry,” Duan Jiude said disingenuously.

“What is the use of saying sorry? This is a grave matter that concerns the reputation of Your Holiness.” Buttface refused to give in.

“Hey, wait a minute. Faction Leader, can you show that fur to me?” At this time, Mo Junchen thought he had an idea, and he came forward, looking curiously at the fur in Xu Que’s hands. Xu Que handed the golden fur over.

Mo Junchen stretched out two fingers and took the golden fur. He gently rubbed it a few times and put in front of his nose to sniff at it. He shook his head and said, “Strange, this seems somewhat like a demon monkey’s fur. But the smell is not like it. A demon monkey’s fur would carry a whiff of a foul smell and be slightly pungent, but this fur has a hint of peach blossoms.”

“It must be a blue-eyed golden fragrant monkey!” Zixia Fairy said, having figured out what the fur was.

Xu Que and the others immediately looked at her with puzzled expressions.

“A blue-eyed golden fragrant monkey?”

This was the first time they had ever heard of this kind of demon monkey.

Zixia Fairy looked very serious and sighed heavily. “The day when the Heaven Continent’s shackles will be broken is getting closer and closer.”

“Grand master, what do you mean?” Duan Jiude was mystified.

“A blue-eyed golden fragrant monkey is a rare species in the monkey clan. They like to live alone and enjoy stealing. Born with a mysterious concealing Bodily Movement Magic Art, their paws can pierce through any restrictive barriers. Even Celestial Kings are afraid to provoke them.”

At this point, Zixia Fairy paused and then continued, “But this kind of species should not exist in the Heaven Continent. If I’m not wrong, it appears that some areas of the Heaven Continent’s shackles have already begun to collapse. And this blue-eyed golden fragrant monkey found that area where the shackles had collapsed, and it dug into the Heaven Continent.”

“F*ck, this kind of demon monkey is no good. It actually likes to steal.” Buttface immediately began to condemn the monkey.

“I, an old man, despise this monkey.” Duan Jiude felt the same way as Buttface and nodded his head in agreement.

“This monkey is really nasty. It should be severely punished,” Xu Que clenched his fists and said self-righteously.

All the people who were with them suddenly raised their brows and opened their mouths in surprise.

“This combination of Que, De, and Dog really lacked self-awareness.”

“No matter how bad the blue-eyed golden fragrant monkey’s character was, could it be any worse than the characters of you three dunces?”

“Hee, hee, hee, but with luck, the restrictive barrier inside the Treasure Pavilion hasn’t been discovered by that monkey.” At this time, Buttface gave a sly smile.

Xu Que also nodded. Even though the natural treasures that had been stolen were very precious, they were not essential to the Exploding Heavens Faction.

They had really come on this trip purely because they’d wanted to see what was hidden behind the restrictive barrier in the Treasure Pavilion.

Since the hidden restrictive barrier hadn’t been destroyed, it meant that the secret inside hadn’t been touched yet.

They all immediately flew to the upper level of the Treasure Pavilion and landed in front of a wall. The restrictive barrier was located here.

“Yeah, this restrictive barrier is very profound. Your Holiness can feel that there must be good things inside.” Buttface was thrilled.

“What we should consider now is whether we should take the time to unravel the barrier or break through it by force.” Xu Que stroked his chin, thinking and hesitating.

According to his past style of working, he would certainly try to kick in the barrier with his Act-Tough King’s Leg to force a breach of the restrictive barrier.

But this matter of the blue-eyed golden fragrant monkey that Zixia Fairy had just been talking about was causing Xu Que to hesitate.

“Supposedly, the blue-eyed golden fragrant monkey was a presence that even Celestial Kings were afraid of to a certain extent. This proved that its intelligence was certainly not weak. There could be no reason that it hadn’t found this restrictive barrier hidden inside the Treasure Pavilion.

“With the habits and character that Zixia Fairy had just described as belonging to the blue-eyed golden fragrant monkey, would it have given up and not tried to break through this restrictive barrier?

“Unless...the restrictive barrier was too tough, and the blue-eyed golden fragrant monkey couldn’t force it open. Or maybe it knew something that Xu Que and his group didn’t know, and it didn’t dare to force it open.”

“Xu Que, you’d better be careful.” At this time, Jiang Hongyan unexpectedly spoke up and softly said, “The Heaven Palace Academy was rebuilt on the Heaven Palace Sect’s former site. There are many things here that are remnants of the Heaven Palace Sect. This restrictive barrier is perhaps also from the Heaven Palace Sect. It must be extremely complicated and dangerous since it hasn’t been broken for so many years.”

“I know, and I seem to be feeling an ominous hunch at the thought of forcibly cracking open this restrictive barrier.” Xu Que nodded in agreement with Jiang Hongyan, as at the same time he reached out his hand close to the restrictive barrier.

DING! “The automatic defense mechanism has been activated!”

Suddenly, the System beep chimed.

Xu Que was startled and immediately drew his hand back.

“D*mn, what’s the deal with this situation?”

“Is this restrictive barrier really dangerous?”

DING! “The automatic defense mechanism is turned off!” After Xu Que took his hand back, the System beep rang out again, shutting down the defense mechanism.

This made Xu Que’s eyebrows twitch involuntarily. This restrictive barrier must be really dangerous. When he got close to that restrictive barrier, he clearly didn’t feel any danger. On the contrary, it was the System that perceived the danger.

“System, what kind of situation is this? Is it dangerous or not? Can you tell me what kind of danger it is? I promise to never back down.” Xu Que asked the System for information.

The System remained silent and didn’t respond at all.

“D*mn, are you ignoring me?”

Xu Que glared and reached his hand out near the restrictive barrier once again.

The System chimed.

DING! “The automatic defense mechanism has been activated.”

Xu Que quickly removed his hand from close to the barrier.

The System chimed once again.

DING! “The automatic defense mechanism has...”

Xu Que extended his hand once again.

The System chimed.

DING! “The automatic defense...”

Xu Que took back his hand again.

The System chimed.

DING!.....

Xu Que stretched out both his hands.

The System chimed.

DING! “After testing, the System perceives that a major danger is hidden behind the restrictive barrier.”
