BOOM!

Xu Que pushed his palm toward the sky. It seemed as if the entire sky was under his control. A low noise started to sound in the void.

Immediately, everyone’s expressions changed. This fellow had just completed a bunch of Heavenly Tribulations, and he already wanted to do another one? Hadn’t he had enough?

“Stop! What are you doing? Wait a minute.” The woman in black shouted at Xu Que, with her face full of amazement.

She looked solemnly at Xu Que and explained herself. “I’m not from the Heaven Palace. I don’t come from the same place as she does. I have no ill intentions toward you, and I’m only here for entertainment.”

“For entertainment? Oh, do you really think that I’m going to believe that?” Xu Que sneered, his palm still facing the sky. He had a majestic aura which

gave others a feeling that he had the ability to call a Heavenly Tribulation at any moment.

It was this feeling that made the woman in black unable to remain calm, and why she’d hurriedly stood up to explain herself.

She’d really had no plans to attack Xu Que, and she was purely there for entertainment. How could she have been innocently dragged into a Heavenly Tribulation with Nishang Fairy?

This was an Ancient Catastrophe he was calling down. In the event that they became implicated, there was no guarantee that they would leave this place alive.

“You have to believe me. I’m from the Heavenly Demon Palace, and she’s from the Sacred Moon Palace. We have never gotten along, and I don’t know why she wants to kill you, so I can’t interfere in this matter. If you still don’t believe me, you can ask Zixia Fairy, who is standing next to you,” the woman in black said, looking at Zixia Fairy.

Zixia Fairy nodded slightly. Even though she didn’t know why Qiu Zili, the Holy Virgin of the Heavenly Demon Palace, had appeared with Nishang Fairy, Qiu Zili could be believed. After all, all the cultivators of the Celestial Cloud Continent knew that the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Sacred Moon Palace were enemies.

“Oh, so you’re enemies with her?” Xu Que saw Zixia Fairy nodding and immediately looked at Qiu Zili with a smile. “The saying goes that the enemy of my enemy is a friend. So shouldn’t you be on our side?”

“I just came for the entertainment, I didn’t plan to…” Qiu Zili shook her head.

Xu Que interrupted her in midsentence. “If you don’t attack her, I won’t believe you, and…I won’t mind killing another fairy, even if we have no grievances with each other, hee, hee!”

“You…” Qiu Zili’s eyes got very wide.

“This was clearly a threat. You’re laughing at me? D*mn you!” The woman in black thought to herself.

At the same time, Nishang Fairy suddenly took a step back from Qiu Zili and widened the distance between them. She was serious and alert, with a little hesitation in her eyes.

Obviously, she believed that Qiu Zili would make a decision, and she had to step away, otherwise, if Qiu Zili suddenly attacked, she would definitely suffer grave consequences.

And, at this moment, her killing intent had begun to waver.

Although she’d wanted to kill Xu Que no matter what, if this would involve her losing her own life, she had to give this matter further thought.

Even though the Ancient Catastrophe hadn’t arrived yet, it was almost here.

And once Xu Que dragged her in, together with the woman in black, if they crossed the Heavenly Tribulation together, the Heavenly Tribulation would definitely sense the powers of their Celestial Prime level, and the Ancient Catastrophe that landed would most likely be the real Ancient Catastrophe.

In order to kill Xu Que, she would have to cross an Ancient Catastrophe and she might even face Qiu Zili’s betrayal if she joined up with Xu Que and Zixia Fairy to jointly attack her. If that were to happen, her chances of winning were almost zero and her life would be endangered.

The risks were too great!

“Qiu Zili, if you help me, I promise that I won’t investigate the matter of your stealing the holy water any further,” Nishang Fairy said.

“Oh, I’ve never been afraid of you investigating!” Qiu Zili smiled and simultaneously looked at Xu Que.

She asked, “You’re Xu Que, right? Why don’t you tell me why she is so anxious to kill you, and maybe I can really help you.”

“Don’t you know why?” Xu Que looked at her with surprise.

“Of course I don’t know. But I have some guesses. It could be related to her sister, Yurou Fairy? To be honest, I was also surprised by your relationship with her. You actually knew Yurou Fairy and had such an extraordinary relationship,” Qiu Zili said.

“Yurou Fairy?”

When Xu Que heard the name, he smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth.

How could he not have realized that this was Xiao Rou’s title? He hadn’t expected Xiao Rou to have such a high position in the Celestial Cloud Continent, so high that even powerful people of the Celestial Prime level would call her Yurou Fairy. This was evidence of her extraordinary strength and status.

Therefore, it was evident that she was doing well, and he was happy for her.

“Yes, it’s related to Yurou Fairy.” Xu Que nodded.

“I see, but your qualifications and strengths aren’t insignificant. Why does she want to kill you?” Qiu Zili asked directly.

This is what she couldn’t figure out. If Xu Que had been just an ordinary person who wasn’t worthy of Yurou Fairy, it would be obvious why the Sacred Moon Palace would want to kill Xu Que.

But the problem was that Xu Que had such powerful strength, and the Nishang Fairy was very serious about wanting to kill him, which made Qiu Zili confused.

“Don’t you see why? From the beginning, the answer has been written on my face.” Xu Que pointed at his face. “Handsome! It’s because I’m so handsome that it makes other people jealous.”

PFFT!

Qiu Zili had originally looked at Xu Que’s face in doubt, but after hearing the second half of his sentence, she couldn’t help but laugh.

This guy was really unique.

“Well, since this is the reason, I can help you.” Qiu Zili didn’t question him any further, but instead agreed to help Xu Que.

She was clever and knew that if Xu Que didn’t want to elaborate, then she wouldn’t get an answer from him no matter how many times she asked.

And she chose to help Xu Que because she had naturally considered that dealing with Nishang Fairy together with Xu Que and Zixia Fairy was much less dangerous than dealing with the Ancient Catastrophe.

What’s more, she also liked Xu Que’s strength.

In time, this young man would have a limitless future. Now that she had such an opportunity to make friends with him, how could she miss it!

“Very well, I admire you.” Xu Que raised a corner of his mouth and nodded. “Then you attack first, get her!”

“I attack first?” Qiu Zili smiled slightly.

“Yes, you attack first. If necessary, I’ll call in the Heavenly Tribulations to help you… Don’t look at me with that skeptical look. This is a tactic. This place has been surrounded by the Exploding Heavens Faction long ago. Attack her, and we can guarantee your safety!”

Qiu Zili was expressionless as she shook her head and said, “Now things are getting interesting!”

If they’d been attacking together, she wouldn’t naturally have had any objections with that. But now that Xu Que wanted her to attack first, even a fool knew that there was something wrong with that!

“Well, don’t you trust me? Ask the people here, who in the Heaven Continent doesn’t know that I, Xu Que, am a man of my word. Who doesn’t know that the Exploding Heavens Faction always keeps their promises?” Xu Que stared at her.

“I can prove that what Xu Que is saying is true!” Buttface shouted immediately.

“Girl, I can also vouch for him, you can trust him!” Duan Jiude nodded.

However, when Qiu Zili turned her head and looked at Buttface and Duan Jiude, she instantly knew that the suspicion in her heart was correct.

She shook her head and took a step back. Looking at Xu Que, she said, “I feel that you’re targeting me. The two of them can’t be trusted, so whatever they say, I have to do the opposite!”
