Chapter 860: Let Me Kill Him!

Wei Zixun finally got his wish. Under the shocked gazes of everyone, striding at the forefront, he led the powerhouses from the Saint Palace into the cave to be used as cannon fodder. Although the powerhouses of the Saint Palace were very reluctant, and angry even, they dared not disobey Wei Zixun’s orders.

For the time being, they could not guess what the Young Master wanted to do. They could only obey orders. However, if they did encounter danger, they would not hesitate to withdraw. They would never agree to become Xu Que’s cannon fodder!

Once they entered the cave, Xu Que and Buttface immediately followed. This human-and-dog partnership made many from the Saint Palace uncomfortable, a little queasy, and downright anxious.

Jiang Hong Yan followed Xu Que, and behind her were the powerhouses from the Imperial Palace. Behind them were the many female disciples of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion and the disbanded cultivators. The demonic beasts followed from afar. They cautiously walked behind the rest of the group, seemingly afraid of a sudden joint attack on them from the humans. However, Xu Que did not have any business with the demonic beasts at this time. He followed the people from the Saint Palace, and everyone knew that he wanted to watch them become cannon fodder!

“That kid is not as simple as he looks!” whispered a jaded middle-aged disbanded cultivator in the back, his expression heavy.

“Why do you say that?” asked his companion.

The jaded man replied, “Pay attention to his position. That position is very sly. Not only would the people of the Saint Palace have nowhere to hide when they encounter any danger, but he could also be the first to loot them if they discover any treasures along the way. What a scary young man!”

“You can’t be serious? Isn’t everyone’s position similar?” The rest of the disbanded cultivators were surprised.

The jaded man with the sullen face shook his head. He sneered. “You are still too young, or too law-abiding, just like the people of the Saint Palace. You know only of the rules, but know nothing of sneaky tricks or sinister ways! The location of the kid is so good that only the experienced could understand it.”

“My gosh, aren’t you exaggerating?” Some people were still in doubt.

“OK, wait and see if you don’t believe me. Just now, when we entered the cave, the man and the dog occupied that position right away as if by instinct. They must be crooks!” The middle-aged man smiled and said no more.

Although he had seen through Xu Que’s intentions, he did not dare to debunk him in person nor fight for a place. He knew that they were way too strong and important for him. Moreover, Xu Que carried millions of Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes. Who dared to offend him?

By this time, everyone had reached the deeper end of the cave. The entire cave was completely dark and there was a wind blowing, as strong as if you were in a hailstorm. One could not help but feel extremely cold.

Wei Zixun and the others walked in the front. Their speed was average at first, but, as they walked, they began to slow down.

An old man from the Saint Palace suddenly said, “Young Master, hang on. This was where we stopped previously, and so we need to be cautious ahead. There is a Killing Mode within, and we must not endanger ourselves!”

Subsequently, the people of the Saint Palace stopped, including Wei Zixun, their expressions grave. As long as Xu Que hasn’t activated the Forgiveness Hat, Wei Zixun is still the original Wei Zixun, cautious and cold.

As soon as they stopped, Xu Que and the people behind him had to stop. Buttface immediately became impatient, “Why are you scared? It is just a small spell; what is there to be cautious about? Be bold and move on. I shall cover you from behind!”

“Shut up!” The old man of the Saint Palace immediately turned around and glared at Buttface. He said, “What would a mere dog like you know? This spell conceals a shapeless and figureless killing intent. I have seen a Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquito enter it by accident. It was crushed into ashes instantly. How can my honorable and prestigious people endanger themselves so casually?”

“Crap, don’t stop me, lad! Let me kill him!” Buttface yelled furiously, his face twisted with anger.

“I am not stopping you!” Xu Que spread his hands.

“Hmph! I shall let this old man off temporarily!” Buttface immediately backed down.

However, the old man ignored him; his gaze skipped Buttface and fell directly on the female disciples of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion. He said, “Are you the disciples of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion? I am the third leader of the Saint Palace, Luo Tianlin. Even your leader needs to address me as her teacher when she sees me!”

The female disciples of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion quickly paled. They had guessed what the old man wanted to get at. However, under the oppressiveness of the Saint Palace, they could only bow their heads and greet him in unison: “Greetings, Dean Luo!”

“Eh. Send ten people out to walk in front of us!” Luo Tianlin nodded, his gaze icy cold as he demanded pompously.

“Dean Luo, this….” The ladies of Exquisite Beauty Pavilion immediately turned pale.

Since this spell could crush a Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquito in an instant, how could they possibly survive if they were to enter? Luo Tianlin was sending them to their deaths!

“Hmph! Why are you still hesitating? Although your leader is of great potential, she was still once only a student of mine. Do you mean that I can’t even instruct the disciples of my student?” Seeing that the girls had refused to budge, Luo Tianlin’s face darkened as he growled, “To attain enlightenment, you must first make sacrifices and pay the price. It is a simple truth that you already know!”

“Did you really think that you could just follow us and let the Saint Palace clear the way for you with our lives?”

“Do not worry. We will help you if there is any danger!” The rest of the Saint Palace powerhouses spoke up. They asked the ladies of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion to take their positions as cannon fodder.

It was necessary to have someone enter the spell zone and trigger the formation. Only then would they be able to find the critical points to break the spell or find the location of the safe exit. That was also the reason why the Imperial Palace and the Saint Palace had not ventured deeper into the cave and also the reason why they had spread these maps around. It was to attract cultivators from other forces and make them their cannon fodder!

The Exquisite Beauty Pavilion and the disbanded cultivators, as well as the demonic beasts, had expected this. However, they had not thought that the Saint Palace would choose the disciples of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion to sacrifice first.

“Dean Luo, we are not here for any treasures of this cave. We will be leaving!” The tall lady from the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion said after a moment’s hesitation. Compared to staying to become cannon fodder, they might as well leave right then and there.

However, the powerhouses of the Saint Palace did not intend to let them leave. Luo Tianlin scolded angrily, “Imbeciles! You juniors are outrageous! Do you ignore your senior when he’s assigning you a task? Didn’t your leader teach you about respecting your elders?”
