Chapter 859: I Am Definitely Going To Become Cannon Fodder!

Clap, clap, clap!!

Everyone fell into a state of confusion as those from the Saint Palace erupted into enthusiastic applause. Dozens of white-clad women from the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion could not believe their eyes. The disbanded cultivators were also in a daze. The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace were even more puzzled as they stood rooted to the ground.

What in the hell was going on?

It was bad enough that Young Master Wei was behaving like that, but how could the rest of the Saint Palace follow his madness?

He was merely a young man at the Form Synthesis Stage. Though he was slightly stronger, slyer, and better looking, surely there was no reason for you guys to grovel to that extent? He delivered two slaps to your young master, and yet you guys still talked about forgiveness and even gave him a round of applause?

Wait, Young Master Wei too!

As the respected young master of the Saint Palace, what would you give them an appreciative look as they applaud? You were the one he slapped!

“The people of the Saint Palace must have gone crazy!”

“Are we dreaming?”

“It like the sun has risen from the west!”

Many couldn’t believe their eyes. The whole situation was so surreal that it felt like a scene straight out of a dream. After all, the Saint Palace was always on par with the Imperial Palace when it came to prestige and power across the Xuanzhen Continent.

The way they did things was overbearing and oppressive. The Saint Palace was full of scholars who loved to show off their literary talents. As a result, one would always lose against them, be it a battle in brains or brawl. Therefore, almost no one dared to provoke such a faction.

But now, members of such a powerful faction, together with the Young Master, had allowed a kid from the Form Synthesis Stage to bully them so and insisted on forgiving him. If this leaked, how many would cry in horror?

“Uh….” Xu Que was also a bit dumbfounded.

He was quite sure that he had put the Forgiveness Hat on Wei Zixun alone, but why did the group of people from the Saint Palace cheer on blindly?

Hey, so many of you have forgiven me that it makes me a little scared; it’s like I’ve made all of you guys a cuckold!

“Okay enough, stop clapping! Xiao Wei, tell me about the origins of this tile if you truly forgive me! Is it related to Zhang Tiandao?” Xu put up his hand to halt the applause and threw an inquiring look at Wei Zixun.

Wei Zixun immediately said: “My Fellow Cultivator, you must have misunderstood! I would most definitely forgive you. This tile has nothing to do with Zhang Tiandao. It was passed down from my ancestors, and from what I heard, it too was found in the Road of Heavenly Ascension. It was hidden away on the remains of an Immortal Cultivator, but we had not figured out its specific use.

Damn!

Xu Que raised his eyebrows. In the end, this stupid tile had nothing to do with Zhang Tiandao?

Whatever. Into the System parcel then.

Xu Que put away the token and asked again: “What is up with the golden egg in the hide? Also, did you find Zhang Tiandao’s Space-Breaking Spell?”

Wei Zixun continued to answer politely. Upon hearing his answers, Xu Que was tempted to drown them in his saliva.

Don’t tell him that all the while they were in the cave, they had just loitered in the outer zone and dared not enter the deeper regions? Let alone the Space-Breaking Spell; they don’t even know where Zhang Tiandao is trapped!

As for this golden egg, they only snatched it when they saw the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquito attracted to it.

So that was what triggered the previous incident and caused a large number of Heaven- Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes to chase after them; it even emitted a strange red light, but the red light disappeared after Xu Que blasted it away. No one knew what it was!

“I assume that the map and text on the hide were incomplete?” Xu Que looked at Wei Zixun and asked with a faint smile.

He knew that the Saint Palace would never distribute these drawings without any edits. They must have hidden some critical information. And that critical information may determine whether or not they can find Zhang Tiandao.

Wei Zixun nodded, “Yes, we have tampered with the hide. Here’s the complete original!”

As he was talking, he pulled out a worn-out parchment from his clothes and handed it to Xu Que. Xu Que’s eyes narrowed as he looked it over. It was human skin!

He spread out the human skin and realized the information on this map was far more detailed; the route pointed directly to the interior of the cave and showed the location of Zhang Tiandao. Also, there were more side captions and its descriptions were more specific.

However, it had limited information about the Space-Breaking Spell. While it briefly mentioned the spell in passing, it was enough to attract countless cultivators to rush over.

“Looks like I still have to go in!”

Xu Que pondered silently for a while and decided to enter the cave. After all, he had solved the troubles of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes. The rest of the risks should probably be just some spells, but for the Space-Breaking Spell, such risks were worth taking!

“Everyone! Those who would like to join this exploration must first hand over their Beast Soul Bags. As long as you hand over your Beast Soul Bags, I will take you into the cave!” Xu looked at the crowd and said with a smile.

There were millions of Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes in the spell formation. He would need hundreds of soul bags to load them all. Xu Que had found more than a dozen soul bags in Wei Zixun’s storage rings, but they were not enough. Therefore, he needed to request them from others, since this thing is not for sale in the System store!

“My Fellow Cultivator, we have a few Beast Soul Bags here!” Someone from the disbanded cultivators immediately came out and delivered several soul bags to Xue Que. The ladies from the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion seemed to be in a fix. The tall lady hesitated and said, somewhat embarrassed, “Fellow cultivator, the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion does not have the habit of raising beasts, so we do not carry Beast Soul Bags. I wonder if we could replace it with other things?”

Xu Que immediately waved and said, “No, the little fairies of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion don’t have to give me anything. Just follow me in later!”

The ladies of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion lit up when they heard that.

“Thank you, fellow cultivator!” The tall woman thanked him hurriedly.

They knew clearly that Xu Que only did this for the sake of the Empress.

Subsequently, under the command of Wei Zixun, the Saint Palace also contributed dozens of Beast Soul Bags. Those from the Imperial Palace did not need Jiang Hongyan to prompt them and quickly surrendered all of their soul bags. They knew that Xu Que needed the bags to take down the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes and were thus more than happy to hand them over. After all, they could never enter the cave if they left the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes unattended, and the trip would just be wasted.

In the end, Xu Que collected more than 100 Beast Soul Bags. He put on some Mosquito-Repellent Perfume and once again stepped into the spell zone. In one fell swoop, he captured millions of Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes all at once. Even when everyone was mentally prepared, their hearts still pounded hard at all the action. The people of the Saint Palace and the Imperial Palace felt some jealousy.

If they could get their hands on the Mosquito-Repellent Perfume on Xu Que, they wouldn’t even need to control the mosquitoes; simply releasing hundreds of thousands of the mosquitoes was enough to destroy the universe!

“Okay! It looks like my Exploding Heavens Faction won’t need to worry about food for the next six months, as we get to eat deep-fried mosquitoes every day!” Xu Que laughed as he said this.

Everyone’s faces twitched vigorously.

Damn, they almost forgot!

This guy did not capture the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitos to destroy the world, but to eat it! How brilliant was that!

“Okay, everyone, follow me into the cave! Xiao Wei, bring your men and walk in front. Be responsible for the mine clearance…. Oh, clearing the mine means that you’ll walk in front and be our cannon fodder and you’ll block all the dangers so we will not fall into any precarious situations! Hurry, this is no time for dillydallying!” Xu Que said and even lifted his foot to kick Wei Zixun’s butt, pushing him to the forefront.

To be their cannon fodder?

Everyone’s expressions became confused once again. Even those from the Saint Palace looked at Wei Zixun, and secretly wondered if he would still choose to endure the humiliation this time?

“Why are you all staring at me?” Wei Zixun immediately scowled and glared at the powerhouses of the Saint Palace. He retorted coldly, “Forgive him, of course! Hurry up and follow me to clear the mines! I am definitely going to become the cannon fodder!”
