“F*ck, you actually shouted. Don’t you have any shame?” Buttface glared at Duan Jiude and scolded him.

Duan Jiude looked serious and said, “This isn’t any good. No wonder that on our way here the result of the hexagram that I divined didn’t prove to be very auspicious.”

“What exactly did you divine from the hexagram?” Buttface asked.

“Alas...” Duan Jiude sighed and shook his head sadly as he said, “It was only slightly favorable.”

“F*ck, slightly favorable is just fine. You gave Your Holiness a scare.” Buttface immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“No, Master Buttface, you think wrong. That hexagram might’ve just been about the matter of killing the Deputy Dean. Reasonably, this kind of situation would have generated a very favorable prediction. However, a slightly favorable one appeared instead, indicating that the later results may not be so good for us. So the results of the hexagram shouldn’t be discounted,” Duan Jiude said with a warning tone in his voice.

Buttface was taken aback and asked, “What does that mean?”

“It means that I, the old man, will have to divine another hexagram now.” Once Duan Jiude had finished speaking, he’d already taken out the ancient turtle shell, gathered his Celestial Core Power, and engulfed the turtle shell to start the divination.

“Don’t get busy for nothing. Does the ending really need to be divined if the Dean has really summoned a Celestial King?” Xu Que asked abruptly.

In the eyes of the other people who were looking on, he seemed full of confidence.

But from what Buttface and Duan Jiude inferred, Xu Que’s words obviously meant something else. He clearly already knew that the hexagram would be extremely inauspicious.

The onlookers didn’t know his real powers, but Buttface and Duan Jiude were all too well aware of Xu Que’s limits. When he’d been able to slaughter all those Celestial Kings previously, he’d completely relied on the Heavenly Tribulations to kill them.

Now even though Xu Que had stepped up to the level of Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven and also had a second-rate Holy body, his odds were still not good to win if he had to face the existence of a being at the Celestial King cultivation stage.

Unless he asked Jiang Hongyan or Zixia Fairy for help, the battle could be very dangerous for all of them.

But what really made them uneasy was that they didn’t know how many Celestial Kings Dean Li had summoned.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a thunderous noise sounded up in the sky.

As soon as Dean Li’s Jade Bamboo bolted up to the clouds, the entire teleportation device was activated and was irreversible. The vast amount of Celestial Core Power within it started to shake the void, and soon it became warped.

Everyone present raised their heads and looked up at the teleportation device. The expressions on their faces were grim.

Xu Que gave Jiang Hongyan’s small hand a squeeze and soundlessly communicated with her without batting an eyelid, “If there are more than two Celestial Kings, we will immediately run.”

Jiang Hongyan blinked her eyes and couldn’t help laughing as she shook her head wistfully.

“This little guy still hasn’t changed. He looks so confident, and yet he’s still thinking about running if he’s not sure he can beat them.”

“So naughty!”

“Brother Que, let us call for help too,” Buttface said anxiously as he turned to look at Xu Que.

He was hinting to Xu Que that he should call Zixia Fairy to come help.

“No need, I can handle it alone.” Xu Que was full of confidence.

“D*mn if you can handle it alone.” Buttface and Duan Jiude were worried and their eyes got wide.

These two guys were smarter than anyone else when it came to Xu Que, and they had already understood what Xu Que had in mind. He basically didn’t want to fight this war. If the Celestial Kings that Dean Li had summoned were too numerous, they would definitely run.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, a blast sounded from behind them.

Several figures flew across the sky, attracting the attention of everyone present.

“Who are they?”

“What? That seems to be Xu Que’s father’s daughter-in-law, Liu Jingning.”

“And there’s also the Guardian named Mo Junchen who hangs out with Buttface and Duan Jiude.”

“Why have they come? Don’t tell me that Xu Que’s father is coming too, is he?”

Many of the disciples of the Heaven Palace Academy started discussing what was going on among themselves.

Xu Que and his group were also startled and somewhat baffled when they saw who was coming.

Originally, they’d thought that the Heaven Palace Academy didn’t have any Celestial Kings, so they’d be able to do whatever they wanted. For this reason, they’d let Zixia Fairy and the others wait outside.

But it wasn’t long before Zixia Fairy and the others appeared.

“Grand master, why are you here?” Duan Jiude took the lead in speaking and asked Zixia Fairy, who seemed to be leading the group.

“There are two Celestial Kings on their way.” Zixia Fairy exclaimed as her eyebrows rose slightly.

“What?” Duan Jiude was instantly startled.

“F*ck, we have to run away,” Buttface shouted and turned around, ready to slip away.

The two Celestial Kings had arrived just outside the Heaven Palace Academy at the same time as the teleportation device was just about to teleport other Celestial Kings. It looked as if they couldn’t wage this war any further.

“Run? Hee, hee, hee, this place has been already sealed. Where do you think you’ll be able to run to?”

At this time, a voice full of vigor could be heard, which seemed to have traveled some distance. It rang out everywhere.

BOOM!

The next moment, the void of the Heaven Palace Academy was torn fiercely apart, and two dark shadows flew out from within it. They were two white-haired old people, a man and a woman.

“These two...are the Ancestral Celestial Kings of the Sage Sect.” A person immediately exclaimed in surprise as she recognized the two old people.

Ming Yixuan was also astonished, and his face looked completely surprised. He stepped forward and bowed deeply. He was in awe. He shouted, “Your junior disciple from the Sage Sect, Ming Yixuan. I pay my respects to two of my ancestors.”

“Get up!” One of them, the old woman, smiled, revealing ugly black teeth.

“Thank you, my ancestor.” Ming Yixuan immediately stood up.

Not waiting for him to speak, the two old people’s gazes focused on Xu Que.

“Ha, ha, ha, I really didn’t expect that, when we set out a bit late and didn’t get to Tian Sha City on time to save our people, this golden opportunity would fall into our laps.

“This is very good news. Since you’ve come to our door on your own, it also saves us from having made a trip in vain.” The two old people stared at Xu Que and laughed coldly.

The chilly, terrifying Spiritual Qi coming from them made many people tremble with fear.

Xu Que couldn’t help frowning. These two Celestial Kings seemed a little strange.

OWWW!! At almost the same time, Buttface screamed miserably. “Damn it, this place is really sealed. The Celestial Grade Escape Emblem is useless.”

Having said that, he dropped a pile of ash from his paws. Apparently he had sneakily groped for the Celestial Grade Escape Emblem, wanting to slip away, but he’d failed in this attempt.

Mocking smiles could be seen on both of the old people’s faces. The old woman shook her head and said, “In the middle of our journey, we heard about your deeds in Tian Sha City. You actually killed ten Celestial Kings. But then we realized that you had done it with the help of the Heavenly Tribulations. Without the Heavenly Tribulations, you would have long ago been dead.”

“Unfortunately, you can fool others, but you can’t fool us. Since you’ve come to the Ziwei Celestial Realm, you must’ve been successful in traversing those Heavenly Tribulations. So I guess that means that it’s impossible for you to summon another Heavenly Tribulation.” After he’d finished speaking, the old man smiled in an extremely sinister manner.

When everyone present had heard all these words, the realization suddenly dawned on them that it turned out that the ten Celestial Kings had been killed by the Heavenly Tribulations, and it had not been Xu Que’s strength that had slaughtered them.

All of a sudden, it seemed as if Xu Que was not so powerful after all.

Xu Que’s expression had turned a little ugly. These two old guys from the Sage Sect had clearly come prepared and had also sealed the void of the Heaven Palace Academy in advance, to prevent them from escaping.

This time...it was really big trouble.

BOOM!

A loud noise sounded in the air.

Immediately after the noise had stopped ringing out, an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion stepped out of the teleportation device. He was the Heaven Palace Academy’s old ancestor, Li Xuanqi.

Everyone lifted their heads and looked up. All their faces changed, including Dean Li’s. Many of the disciples of the Heaven Palace Academy cried out in unison, “We pay our respects to our old ancestor.”

Li Xuanqi had only left his ancestral tomb several weeks ago.

As the old ancestor of the Li family, he’d founded the Heaven Palace Academy all by himself. His portraits and statues could be seen everywhere in the Heaven Palace Academy. Almost everyone knew who he was.

As soon as he appeared, everyone felt awe-struck.

“Oh, sh*t! We’re dead.” Duan Jiude and Buttface suddenly wailed in terror.

Three Celestial Kings had appeared at the same time. They were really done for this time.

“Give me a little time!” At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in Xu Que’s mind.

Xu Que was startled and looked toward Zixia Fairy.

“I need time to summon my Taoist Body, which will be enough to kill them.” Zixia Fairy’s red lips slightly moved as she continued to communicate soundlessly.

“Wait.” Xu Que immediately shouted to stop Zixia Fairy. He shook his head as he answered her, also soundlessly. “Don’t act rashly. You must have had your own reasons for not letting your Taoist Body integrate for so many years. If I haven’t guessed wrong, it would be so that you could step into the level of a Celestial Emperor. If you integrate now, won’t you fail to do that through lack of a final effort?”

“I don’t care!” Zixia Fairy shook her head. She was determined.

“I care!” Xu Que’s eyes got wide and he let out a deep breath as he said, “Let’s wait a bit, perhaps...I have another way!”

With that, he called out the System.
