Hearing this, both Dong Genji and his followers were stunned.
They all knew that if they got the magical object that could see through things, they would surpass all the other influential Families and Factions in less than ten years and the Carefree Building would become the most prominent power in the entire Eastern Continent.
“The big three Families have been trying to cover this up,” a man in white said, “but many people witnessed what happened, so the news just spread today.”
“Give my orders to the fellows in the Carefree Building and ask them to track Jiang Limu down and anyone else who is related to the Exploding Heavens Faction, including that young man who just set up an array of a high level. Remember: don’t kill him once he is caught. Bring him back to the Carefree Building instead. I am sure he must be carrying some other valuable things with him!”
This young man must have gone into some ancient caves to become this powerful. I have never heard of this so-called Exploding Heavens Faction, which means that this Faction is still rather young. If I can end it before it grows much stronger, it will do the Carefree Building good.
…
Xu Que finished setting up the array and walked to Jiang Hongyan with Buttface.
Seeing Jiang Hongyan wearing the Spirit Visage as well as the Banshee’s Veil, he smiled.
“Little chap, how on earth do you know how to set up a high-level array!?!” Liu Jingning asked Xu Que with great surprise; she realized she had underestimated him once again.
There were plenty of reasons for her to do so, since even the Utopia Faction only knew one way to set up a high-level array after paying a huge price. Jiang Hongyan was also greatly shocked and never thought Xu Que could be this powerful.
“Setting up a high-level array is a piece of cake for me. If I weren’t on a ‘tight budget,’ well, I could have set up many arrays of the Spiritual Level or even an Ancient Scary Array!”
If I hadn’t spent so many Acting Tough Points on upgrading my System, I would definitely set up a few Arrays of Spiritual Levels, even if each one cost me tens of thousands of Acting Tough Points. The Ancient Scary Array, which only costs me a few thousand Acting Tough Points, is much cheaper than an Array of the Spiritual Level, but only a cultivator at the class of Eight Stars can set it up. To upgrade my level to that level, I need to spend hundreds of thousands of Acting Tough Points.
“Array of Spiritual Level?”
Hearing what Xu Que said, Liu Jingning was shocked.
“Excuse me, I need to hurry up now. A high-level array is not enough!”
Xu Que paid no attention to Liu Jingning’s and Jiang Hongyan’s facial expressions and quickly took out dozens of storage rings from the System parcel.
He waved his hand and threw these storage rings into the air.
All of a sudden, a huge amount of soul strength energy burst out and covered all the storage rings.
Then he took out his Killer Book and raised up his hands; the next minute, a three-colored fire lotus rose up.
The Molten Green Lotus, the Bone Freezing Fire, and the Eight Waste Destruction Flame all appeared.
Seeing this, Jiang Hongyan was a bit surprised. She had seen him practicing this before and knew how powerful this was. She could also feel that this time, the energy of the three-color lotus was even more powerful.
“Xu Que, what are you going to do?” Liu Jingning asked in surprise; obviously, she had also noticed this.
So did Buttface. He quickly backed off and said, “Xu Que, calm down! The big war is in tomorrow, not today! Why on earth are you doing this?!”
Xu Que did not reply and kept focusing on what he was doing.
The three-color fire lotus rotated slowly while giving out frightening Spiritual Qi.
The energy of the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus, which was thirty times more powerful than the Killer Book, and the fully cultivated Killer Book, were enormous. Even Xu Que was a bit afraid and sweat appeared on his forehead.
Seeing this, Buttface screamed and quickly ran away.
Back in the Snow City, Buttface had once been accidently burned by the lotus and all the hair on his butt had singed away. No hair had ever grown back there . . .
“This is…”
Liu Jingning could not believe what she had seen. Before she met Xu Que in the Eastern Continent, she had heard that Xu Que almost bombed the Bright Moon Hotel with the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus. Still, she was extremely terrified when she saw this with her own eyes.
Jiang Hongyan was also stunned and could not believe that in just a few months, the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus had grown more powerful.
Xu Que was still holding the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus in his hands and kept squeezing it.
Soon, the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus stopped shrinking and began to expand, with its energy getting more and more concentrated.
“Jesus! Xu Que, stop it!” Buttface shouted. “Otherwise, it will explode!”
“Xu Que, what on earth are you doing?!” Seeing the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus getting bigger and bigger, Liu Jingning became extremely worried.
More and more drops of sweat appeared on Xu Que’s forehead; he was trying very hard to control the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus.
Right at this moment, Jiang Hongyan stood from the ground and moved close to Xu Que, ready to help at any time.
She had never seen Xu Que with such a serious face and could tell Xu Que was dealing with something very difficult.
Bang!
The void around the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus collapsed. The Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus started to change its form and was about to explode.
“Stop it now!” Liu Jingning shouted.
Bang!
The Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus was almost to explode and a huge amount of energy erupted from it.
Liu Jingning was extremely frightened and was about to reach her hands out to Xu Que when Jiang Hongyan took them away.
Right at the moment, Xu Que took out a storage ring and put the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus—which then exploded—into it.
In the blink of an eye, all the heat and energy disappeared, and everything went back to normal.
Xu Que took a deep breath and folded the Divine Tracking Emblem in his sleeve.
He had prepared to leave immediately with both Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning if he failed to concentrate the energy of the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus.
Luckily, he had managed to put the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus into a storage ring right as it exploded.
The storage ring that contained the Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus could not be opened now. Otherwise, the energy of the explosion would be rather destructive.
However, this was exactly what Xu Que wanted.
“So, you want to . . . ” Liu Jingning had guessed Xu Que’s intentions.
Xu Que smiled. “Yes! This is the surprise for them! Now please leave me alone, concentrating a Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus is really tough. I need to focus and make more of it by tonight!”
Hearing this, Liu Jingning and Jiang Hongyan looked at each other at the same time and forced out two smiles.
They had given up the idea of persuading Xu Que to stop what he was doing.
By now, Xu Que had already grasped the idea of how to make a Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus on the brink of an explosion.
He summoned out the system and turned on the self-reviving. After he regained his Soul Strength and Genuine Energy, he began to make another Genuine Buddha’s Fiery Lotus.
