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

“Hongyan did not tell me what has happened. She just left rather hurriedly. I can feel something terrible has happened; otherwise, she wouldn’t act like this!” Zi Xuan frowned and seemed very worried.

Hearing this, Xu Que nodded.

Yes! Something bad must have happened. Hongyan is always calm and has never behaved like this before. She would at least leave me a proper message. And she wouldn’t have asked me to not wait for her? Is she asking me to not wait for her to return and go to the Four Great Continents myself or asking me to give up on her?

As far as I am concerned, nothing that happens in the Four Great Continents would make her as anxious as this. Can it be possible that she is heading to the Xuanzhen Continent herself?

Thinking of this, Xu Que felt very worried.

If she really does goes there herself, I may not be able to see her again. After all, there are countless cultivators of the Great Vehicle Stage in the Xuanzhen Continent.

“Xu Que, calm down! Maybe she really has something urgent thing to do. If you are really very worried, we can go to the Four Great Continents right now!” Madame Ya gently comforted him.

Su Ling’er nodded. “We all know the Water Empress is very powerful, and she just left yesterday. I think we can catch up with her if we leave now!”

“Yes! Calm down, we shall make our departure now!” Su Yunlan said.

They all knew quite well Xu Que’s personality, and they could tell he was extremely worried seeing his face.

Xu Que took a deep breath, and said, “I am fine! Hongyan is right, I should not wait for her!”

“What?” Zi Xuan was astonished, as well as everyone else.

“I shall go by myself, since I guess Hongyan is not heading to the Four Great Continents. Instead, she is probably heading to the Xuanzhen Continent, which is more dangerous!”

“What?!”

They were shocked, since they only knew the existence of the Four Great Continents outside of the Five Elements Mountain and had never heard that there was a Xuanzhen Continent. Suddenly, they all got rather upset and felt very unsure about their future, as if the way of cultivation was a way with no end.

“There is no time to explain!” Xu Que said, while taking out a Refreshing Pill and putting it into Buttface’s mouth. The Refreshing Pill was very expensive and cost around 3,000 Acting Tough Points. But since it was urgent, Xu Que felt it was time to wake Buttface up. As soon as the Refreshing Pill touched Buttface’s lips, he instantly woke up.

“Who spoils my sweet dream?!”

Bang!

Xu Que slapped Buttface and shook his shoulder, “Buttface, wake up, something bad has happened!”

“What?” Buttface was shocked and was about to run away.

Xu Que knew he would do so and hurriedly caught him up. “Be serious and listen to me! I need to leave here now, you go to Snow City and bring Situ Haitang and her army here. Then you should all head to the South Continent to find Zixia Fairy!”

“What?!” Buttface was a bit surprised, “What for?”

“Ask her to protect you lot! Before we come back, all of you should cultivate yourselves in the Mysterious Land in the South Continent. If she does not want to look after you, just tell her that Joker asked you to go to find her. Do you understand me?” Xu Que said with a serious face.

Buttface had never seen Xu Que like this before, so he did not dare to contradict and nodded. “You can count on me for this!”

Xu Que then turned to Su Ling’er and the rest. He felt very sorry and his lips trembled a bit, as if he was trying to say something. After all, he had promised them that once he became famous in the Four Great Continents, he would personally pick them up and take them there. But now, he could not do so.

At this moment, Madame Ya could tell Xu Que was in a very difficult situation, so she smiled at Xu Que. “Don’t worry about us, you should go now.”

Su Yunlan also smiled. “Even if you asked us to go with you, we won’t go, since it is a dangerous place and I think we will make you distracted if we are there!”

“Hurry up! We will wait for you in the South Continent!” Su Ling’er smiled.

Under these circumstances, they knew that they could not act like children and ask Xu Que to take them with him. They did not care if Xu Que would personally take them to the Four Great Continents; they only worried about Xu Que’s safety. Although everyone was smiling, they could all see the worrying looks hidden behind the smiling.

Xu Que gently touched their faces and said, “Don’t worry! I will be back and meet you in the South Continent! Even the sky can’t kill me, so no one in this world can hurt me!”

“We will wait for you!” Madame Ya nodded.

Su Ling’er and Su Yunlan also nodded.

Su Xiao Qi said, “Promise me you will come back. The chocolate you have given me cannot last for too long!”

Buttface also yelled, “And the Stinky Tofu, hamburger, ice cream, fried chicken, coffee, etc.....”

Xu Que ignored Buttface and turned to look at Jiang Hongyan’s bedroom. Next to her bedroom was the Teleportation Device that led to the East Continent. But Jiang Hongyan had left a day earlier and the Teleportation Device was so old. It was impossible for Xu Que to catch up with Jiang Hongyan.

If Jiang Hongyan really went to the Xuanzhen Continent, I have to go there, because she is still not that powerful enough. It is very risky for her to face all those powerful cultivators all by herself. If I can catch up with her, I can try my best to stop her from going to the Xuanzhen Continent.

The clock is ticking and I have to hurry up.

“Xu Que, promise me that you will protect Hongyan and bring her back safe and sound!” Zi Xuan said to Xu Que with a serious face.

“I will!” Xu Que nodded, then he turned around to see his female followers once again, and walked out of the palace.

Zi Xuan was a bit confused and said abruptly, “Xu Que, you are going in the wrong direction. The Teleportation Device is that way!”

In the blink of an eye, Xu Que changed into lightning that penetrated the clouds and disappeared.

....

In a short while, Xu Que appeared on the outside of the Scarlet Yang Faction. Not very long ago, the Scarlet Yang Faction asked the Gong Family to send some people to kill Xu Que, but, in the end, they were almost wiped out by the Gong Family. All the Sect Leaders had been killed and the head of the Scarlet Yang Faction had been taken to the Gong Family to be punished.

After the head of the Scarlet Yang Faction was taken away, all the young cultivators ran away. By now, the Scarlet Yang Faction had already been occupied by other factions.

As soon as Xu Que stepped into door, he was immediately recognized.

“Crap! It’s Xu Que!”

“The evil man has come, let’s run!”

“The Scarlet Yang Faction has already been wiped out, why on earth does he come here?! Does he come to kill us?”

Hearing this, many people started to escape. Xu Que did not bother to talk with these people and quickly dashed to the hall of the Scarlet Yang Faction.

“Why you are here?” A few old cultivators were terrified to see him and asked in terror.

“This place is now controlled by the Exploding Heavens Faction. I order you to leave in 15 minutes. Otherwise, I will kill you all!” Xu Que sneered, strode forward, and closed the door.

In fact, Xu Que did this for their sakes. If they ever knew there was a Teleportation Device that led to the Four Great Continents, they might be tempted to go there and would definitely be killed by the Gong Family. In a short while, Xu Que found where the Teleportation Device was. Then he crushed a wall on one side and an enormous Array appeared.

“Jiang Hongyan, please don’t do anything stupid!” Xu Que murmured. Then he took out a few pieces of Spiritual Stones of top quality, threw them on the Altar, and stepped onto the Array.
