Ultimate Scheming System

Chapter 678: He is Totally Lunatic

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

The entire area was in an uproar. No one could believe what they had heard.

The Living Holy Tree was pulled out!

It’s the legendary, unshakable, divine tree—it has existed for so long! How could it be pulled out?

And the one who pulled out the Living Holy Tree is just an ordinary person. He said he is going to cut up the Living Holy Tree and use it as firewood to heat his bath water!

Damn! It’s unnecessary to be so extravagant in preparing a bath!

Countless people would be devastated hearing that such a rare treasure was burned as firewood!

People of the Bai Family on the island were paler than death.

Now they realized they had been cheated—enthusiastically and willingly cheated!

With their faces warped by ferocious, furious expressions and their eyes full of fire, several Elders spat blood on the spot.

“How many times have we been cheated by him?” an Elder yelled hysterically.

“Why is the Bai Family always getting cheated?” some young members of the Bai Family asked the Heavens with their eyes full of rage and helplessness.

“We spent 10,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones to buy a useless empty island!”

“Xu Que!”

With a ghastly pale face, Bai Lingrui shouted Xu Que’s name through clenched teeth. Her voice was full of hatred.

Her bright eyes were filled with intense murderous intent. She clenched her little fists furiously and her palms, which had been cut by her fingernails, were bleeding.

She thought she could cheat Xu Que this time. She hadn’t anticipated being cheated by Xu Que again!

Her heart was full of terror and helplessness. She hadn’t even suspected that unshakable Living Holy Tree could be pulled out by Xu Que!

Even more infuriating was that he had pretended to be a conscientious businessman by warning the other families and sects to stay away from this island after pulling out the Living Holy Tree!

Nobody was interested in an island without the Living Holy Tree!

“Ha! Now I understand the meaning of that young man’s words before he left!” Outside the island, some powerhouses of other big families and sects started to gloat about the Bai Family’s loss after coming to themselves.

“What do you mean?” someone asked.

“That young man warned us to stay away from this island to avoid unnecessary losses. His warning was for our benefit! I thought he was just talking tough. I didn’t expect it was really for our own sake!”

“Right! If not for his warning, we would have really started a fight for this island, which would have inevitably caused great casualties!”

“Yes, we should appreciate that young man!”

“What a good man he is!”

Many people started to commend Xu Que with great emotion.

Of course, their exclamations were nothing more than the deliberate ridicule of the Bai Family’s foolishness.

Full of nothing but rage, people of the Bai Family could say nothing to retort.

After all, to the other families and sects, the Bai Family had dug their own grave, paid Spirit Stones to Xu Que, and asked him to push them into it. Who else could they blame for that?

...

Over a month later, Xu Que was driving the stealth jet fighter to the eighteenth island.

During the last month, they had kept moving forward. They had harvested all the Living Holy Water and Living Holy Trees on the islands in the Upflowing Sea!

On the second island, Buttface and Duan Jiude also tried to pull out the Living Holy Tree.

Although they tried their best, they couldn’t even shake the Living Holy Tree, let alone pull it out.

At last, an exasperated Buttface had bitten the Living Holy Tree, but he only created a faint scratch after losing one tooth. However, the scratch quickly disappeared in a gust of wind.

After Xu Que pulled out the Living Holy Tree with the assistance of the System, Duan Jiude and Buttface, who were dumbfounded, reluctantly admitted Xu Que was a monster.

Xu Que gained an exceptional advantage in this period.

Eighteen Living Holy Trees and eighteen lake-sized pools of Living Holy Water were better-than-expected good luck and fortune for him!

Originally, all the families and sects in the four continents were fiercely competing for two lake-sized pools of the Living Holy Water. Only the top fifty families and sects could share that Living Holy Water according to the rank.

It was a pity that everything in this year’s competition had been completely ruined!

Xu Que took exclusive possession of all eighteen lake-sized pools of Living Holy Water and also pulled out all the Living Holy Trees. He had completely monopolized the supply of the Living Holy Water.

Liu Jingning only got around half a lake-sized pool of Living Holy Water from Xu Que. It was not because Xu Que was greedy, but Liu Jingning simply didn’t want to take too much.

She said she didn’t need too much Living Holy Water. Half a lake-sized pool was already excessive for her. She would take some with her and submit the rest to her faction to accomplish her task.

She really didn’t want to take more, so Xu Que chose to keep silent.

After taking away all the Living Holy Water and the Living Holy Tree in the last island, they crossed the Upflowing Sea and headed for the third layer of the Mystery Land!

...

During this period, all families and sects had retreated from the Upflowing Sea.

After all, the quiet period of the Upflowing Sea was about to end. No matter how robust their ships were, they didn’t have the guts to sail in the furious Upflowing Sea.

After being sabotaged by Xu Que, all the families and sects had to return empty-handed.

Some of them continued to search for fortune and opportunities in the first layer. The rest just left the Mystery Land in advance to deliver the news to the outside world.

People in the outside world were shocked by Xu Que’s immoral actions in the Mystery Land.

Some exclaimed their anger; some roared; some didn’t want to accept the truth; some simply groaned . . .

“Did he kill all the members of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe and the Prevailing Wind Pavilion with bizarre miraculous items?”

“What? Even their ships were ruined?”

“What? Were you robbed by him?”

“What? Did he almost rape the Holy Virgins?”

“What? He robbed the Living Holy Water?”

“What? He pulled out the Living Holy Tree?”

“Holy sh*t!”

“What the hell? Are you lying to us?”

Many people didn’t believe the news for it was absurd.

As more and more people left the Mystery Land, the authenticity of the news was confirmed.

The dumbfounded cultivators in the outside world were in an uproar!

“This guy is poisonous!”

“He is abominable!”

“He’s really a devil! He pulled out the Living Holy Trees. When the Mystery Land is opened in 100 years, where will the trial participants find the Living Holy Water?”

“He killed the geese that lay the golden eggs!”

“Damn! This guy is really the scum of the World of Cultivators!”

“If we knew this from the start, we wouldn’t have let him enter the Mystery Land! He is totally lunatic!”

“All of us have been cheated by Xu Que and Duan Jiude. They’re not enemies at all!”

“Alas! The World of Cultivators is doomed!”

“Everyone used to be deterred by the threat of Duan Jiude. Now, together with Xu Que and that dog, I’m afraid this world will be ruined!”

Many powerhouses outside the Mystery Land clasped their hands and pulled their hair for they thought the future was black and couldn’t see any hope.

The families and sects from the East Continent sighed in despair. For Xu Que was also from the East Continent, and after his journey in the Mystery Land he would definitely return and continue to make trouble. There would then be no peace and quiet in the entire continent.

Moreover, if Duan Jiude also followed Xu Que, the East Continent would be classified as a disaster zone!

“No, we have to stay. We can’t let Xu Que leave here so easily!” someone said reluctantly.

“How can we deal with Duan Jiude?”

“We don’t need to worry about him! Duan Jiude said publicly in the Upflowing Sea that he won’t protect Xu Que outside the Mystery Land!”

“Damn! Can we believe him?”

“It seems our Patriarchs should come here as soon as possible.”

“This is quite an important issue because it’s related to the Living Holy Trees. I think our Patriarchs would be interested in it!”

“Then, let’s get moving now. Anyway, we can’t let that guy escape! Luckily, he is just an ordinary person for now. If he reaches the stage Duan Jiude is at, we won’t have time for regrets!”

Many cultivators from the East Continent, the South Continent, and even the West Desert and the North Sea, discussed this issue.

All of them had formed an unprecedented and unrepeatable alliance because of Xu Que. They had finally reached an agreement to invite their Patriarchs to kill Xu Que when he left the Mystery Land!

While this was going on, people from the Sky Incense Valley—who had reunited with Xu Que not long ago—were dumbfounded by what they saw and heard.

Zhang Suliang, Tang Xueru and other cultivators from the Five Elements Mountain were totally shocked by the news.

Originally, they thought Xu Que, as an ordinary person, wouldn’t dare to make trouble in the Mystery Land—even with the protection of his protectors.

None of them had expected Xu Que to make such catastrophic trouble in the Mystery Land by robbing the families and sects from the four continents—he had even wanted to rape the Holy Virgins!

My Gosh! No one could be more wicked than him!

“I remember a poem he composed in the Fire Nation!” Tang Xueru suddenly said with a wry smile.

“What poem?” everyone asked, glancing at her.

After drawing a breath, Tang Xueru said, “‘Grip the sun and moon and pick the stars, there is no person like me in this world.’”
