Chapter 1491: A Piece of Black Cloth

“F*ck, boy, come quickly and help!”

“D*mn you woman, you’d better stop now. I, the old man, have been moral and virtuous for many years. I absolutely will not let you have your way with me.”

Buttface and Duan Jiude continued to shout, one after another.

Xu Que looked around, but he didn’t really worry that Buttface and Duan Jiude were in any real danger.

It was clearly an illusion that was forcibly squeezing cultivators dry.

But Xu Que was very curious. “Why had Buttface and Duan Jiude both fallen into the trap, but he himself was still safe?”

“Unless…I, the Act-Tough Saint, am so pure of heart that these illusions don’t work on me?”

Xu Que stroked his chin and fell deep in thought.

“Sure enough, it was a good thing to be a pure person.”

DING! “Under the defense mechanism, the host is immune to illusions for a certain amount of time. Your current immunization time has only ten minutes left. Will the host please seize the time to crack the illusion.” The System beep chimed, reminding him to get to work.

Xu Que immediately jumped up and smiled coldly, as he shook his head.

“He’d been so naive.”

“So what if the immunization time ends? Am I, Xu Que, afraid of this illusion? No matter how many women come onto me, I can’t be overcome by this illusion.”

“F*ck, boy, how much more do you want to watch? Your Holiness is going to be unable to protect my chastity soon.” Buttface’s shouts rang out again.

Only then did Xu Que narrow his eyes and say with an impish chuckle, “Your chastity was gone long ago back in the Five Elements Mountain. That’s only an illusion. Why are you so scared?”

“Illusion, my ass, this is too real… ah, and it also can limit the power of Your Holiness.” Buttface shouted again, trying to make Xu Que understand how serious this was.

“Boy, this thing is absolutely not so simple as you think. If it can reduce two True Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven into this state, you shouldn’t underestimate the enemy.” Duan Jiude also shouted at Xu Que.

“Okay, let me see what the illusion is actually doing.” Xu Que smiled and his gaze suddenly swept up to the top of the cave.

Before the illusion had appeared, a woman’s giggles could be heard from somewhere in the cave. It seemed to have come from above the cave.

If he’d guessed right, the illusion must’ve been deployed from the top of the cave.

SWISH!

However, the moment that Xu Que lifted his head to look up, a dark shadow suddenly glided down from above.

Xu Que’s face instantly changed. Without a thought, he took out the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod. However, mysteriously, the dark shadow passed by in a flash and vanished without a trace. Even his Soul Strength hadn’t been able to capture its presence.

“What’s going on? Are there any other living things in here?” Xu Que was startled, and he almost thought that he had been tricked by an illusion.

SWISH!

All of a sudden, there was another sound like a blast of air, and a black shadow once again passed through the air. Its speed was extremely rapid, and the naked eye could only capture a trace of the shadow.

Xu Que frowned and waved his hand, ready to pull out the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod from under his arm, getting ready for the opportunity to strike.

If the shadow reappeared again, he was confident that he could intercept it.

“Be careful behind you!”

At this time, a warning rang out. It didn’t come from Buttface or Duan Jiude, but from an unfamiliar woman’s voice.

Xu Que quickly turned around to look behind him. But it was empty behind him. There was nothing at all.

“F*ck, it’s a trick!”

Xu Que suddenly realized something and turned around once again. He swept the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod with force toward the back without hesitation.

BANG!

With the sound of a thud, it was obvious that the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod had hit something.

Xu Que also felt a shock in the area between his thumb and forefinger of his hands. He also caught a glimpse of a black shadow being swept away from the corner of his eyes. But he hadn’t sensed any existence or presence throughout the whole process.

There were two solutions to this situation: Either this was an illusion, or the other party was not a living thing.

“Hey, the woman is gone!”

“I, the old man, am all right here too.”

Almost at the same time, Buttface and Duan Jiude got up from the ground with looks of surprise.

“Be careful, this thing is not ordinary.” Xu Que warned in a low voice. His eyes were still looking around vigilantly.

He’d started to understand what’d been going on now that the System had reminded him that he was immune to illusions under the defense mechanism.

So that dark shadow just now had definitely not been an illusion.

The dark shadow kept appearing and disappearing in a flash. However, it didn’t leave even the slightest bit of presence or trigger the Mind Sense. Even the most powerful beings at the levels of Celestial Primes and Celestial Kings couldn’t do this.

So Xu Que figured out that basically the dark shadow couldn’t be a living thing.

“Can it be…is it possible that it could be the Artifact Spirit of a Celestial Artifact? Even a Divine Item?” Xu Que was having some pretty strange ideas, and he was actually becoming a little excited.

Under these circumstances, it seemed that only an Artifact Spirit of a Celestial Artifact or a Divine Item could explain this thing without a presence.

“Buttface, Duan Jiude, hurry, set up a Trap & Kill Array. The next time it dares to appear, take it down with one strike.” Xu Que had an idea.

“You don’t need to spell it out. Your Holiness is already setting it up,” Buttface said.

“Hey, how dare you touch me, the old man! I will make you bear the consequences.” Duan Jiude was scornful.

These two dunces had already started to plot their revenge.

However, from when they started to set up the Trap & Kill Array until the setup of the Trap & Kill Array had been finished, the dark shadow never appeared again.

The cave was eerily calm, and they still had no idea when the two “used-up” people on the ground had finally closed their eyes and completely lost their lives. This time, those two men really seemed to be dead.

“F*ck, don’t tell me it has run away? Why doesn’t it show itself?” Buttface was getting a little impatient.

“No, it can’t run away. This place is tiny. Where can it go?” Duan Jiude was a little suspicious.

“It looks like I probably hurt it with a strike from my rod just now, or I might have scared it. But now that it’s not around us, it’s probably just hiding in another place.” Xu Que spoke in a low voice, and his gaze slowly drifted down to look toward the dozens of coffins deep inside the cave.

“Is it over there?” Buttface and Duan Jiude also immediately came forward. Their eyes also looked deep into the cave.

SWISH!

Sure enough, the dark shadow appeared again and flashed through the depths of the cave.

“After it!” Xu Que immediately acted and charged forward.

But just after he had taken only a few steps, the dark shadow suddenly rushed out from inside the cave and transformed into a large piece of black cloth to block the entrance to the depths of the cave.

“Stop!” A crisp female voice rang out from the black cloth.

“F*ck!”

“F*ck, f*ck, a cloth that speaks.”

Buttface and Duan Jiude exclaimed at the same time.

“Hey, it is an Artifact Spirit!” Xu Que quickly registered what the appearance of this piece of black cloth signified and finally confirmed that his guess had been correct.

“D*mn, Your Holiness was almost sullied by a piece of black cloth?”

“Such a perverted black cloth was trying to overcome an old man’s chastity?”

Buttface and Duan Jiude looked extremely angry.

“Shut up, you insignificant creatures with no power! How dare you break into the sacred grounds. I only set up a small trick and made you fall for an illusion.” The woman’s voice within the black cloth scolded.

“Fall for an illusion? Hee, hee, hee, I’m afraid it’s not that simple. These two people were squeezed dry until they looked like this. Oh, and I guess they died after their essence had been exhausted.” Xu Que laughed coldly.

The deaths of the two people from the Heaven Palace Academy had nothing to do with him. But this piece of black cloth had just made a move on them. If it had not been for his own wits, perhaps this piece of black cloth would’ve succeeded with the sneak attack it had mounted against them.

So, they still needed to settle the score.

Moreover, he still hadn’t gotten the System’s reward. “If he didn’t go in to wake up a few powerful Celestial Kings, did it mean he would have to return empty-handed?”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I’m not the one who sucked out their essence. I just started the illusion, that’s all.” The woman in the black cloth responded with exasperation.

“It wasn’t you? Then who sucked them?” Xu Que could not help staring blankly.

Buttface and Duan Jiude looked flummoxed and somewhat in a daze.

“Boy, who are you talking to?” Buttface asked in surprise.

“Yeah, he’s looking at that piece of black cloth and talking to himself. Can it be that he has fallen for an illusion?” Duan Jiude looked terrified.

Xu Que was surprised, and he asked, “What’s going on? I’m talking to this piece of black cloth. Didn’t you hear it talking? There may be an Artifact Spirit inside.”

“What the h*ll? You’re talking to a piece of cloth?” Buttface stared wide-eyed.

“You must have been tricked by an illusion,” Duan Jiude said with certainty.

“It’s not an illusion. You really can’t hear it talking?” Xu Que was a little surprised.

He was very certain that this piece of black cloth was really talking, and it hadn’t been a soundless communication or an illusion. How could Buttface and Duan Jiude not have heard it?
