Ultimate Scheming System
chapter-489

Time flies when a person is having fun.

Xu Que stayed in the Great Change Sect for seven days. He spent every spare moment with Su Yun Lan, both day and night.

He was indeed a strong and energetic man. After all, he performed very well in the assembly hall, Su Yun Lan's bedroom, and the storage house. He even gave a performance on the mountain behind the Great Change Sect.

Xu Que had done a lot for the Great Change Sect. He had set up a new and improved magic array to protect the Sect, provided them with a large number of Spirit Stones, and cooked many delicious meals for them with magic power.

Su Yun Lan liked the food very much. Xu Que even made hamburgers and ice cream for her. Thanks to this special food, her body had been greatly nourished and enhanced. Soon, she reached the ninth level of the Original Infant Stage.

Xu Que also bought many tools from the System Store, like the Killer Sword and the Killer Book, and gave them all to Su Yun Lan. While it was true that Su Yun Lan did not get into fights nearly as often as Xu Que did, he still thought it would be good for Su Yun Lan to have these tools just in case. After all, it was easy for Xu Que to obtain new Killer Swords and Killer Books whenever he wanted.

Xu Que had made it clear that today would be his last day in the Great Change Sect. Su Yun Lan did not want him to go. But alas, she could do nothing but see him off. She knew that if she asked Xu Que to stay, he would linger for a few more days. However, she knew that ultimately he would have to leave.

While Xu Que would be happier in a bigger place, she would never be truly happy if she left the Great Change Sect. They had never been destined to become real lovers.

"Even though we are apart for now, remember, there will come a day where we will finally be together again," Xu Que said. "Wait for me! One day, I will come and pick you up on a colorful cloud!"

"Yes! I will wait for you!" Su Yun Lan said, nodding happily.

...

It was late at night. Xu Que figured that now was as good a time as any to head to the Sky Demon Tribe of the Mysterious Clan.

Xu Que was once the Shaman Demon King of the Mysterious Clan. However, he had left the area in a bit of a hurry a long time ago. He thought it was about time to pay the Sky Demon Tribe a visit.

So, in the middle of the night, Xu Que and Buttface made their departure to the Sky Demon Tribe.

The Sky Demon Tribe was carefully hidden in the Fire Nation, so it was difficult to spot. Xu Que would have never found the Sky Demon Tribe in the first place if it weren't for the Divine Tracking Emblem.

When he had first arrived, he had acted tough by disguising himself as Sun Wu Kong, also known as the Monkey King. That was the moment he became King of the entire Mysterious Clan. When Xu Que left, he passed the throne to Su Ling'er, who was a Nine Tailed Demon Fox.

It was dusk of the following day when they finally reached the forest where a few Mysterious Clan tribes were located.

"This forest is quite something, isn't it?" said Buttface. "It seems like this forest has existed since the Ancient Times."

"How do you know that it existed in the Ancient Times?" Xu Que asked, surprised.

"Shush! You must feel the truth of it with your heart," Buttface said, waving his claws.

Bang! Xu Que slapped him.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Ow!" Buttface yelled in pain, touching his head. "I'm serious! I can feel the Qi of the Ancient Times in this forest. I think there are probably some relics that have been left here. But even if that's the case, the relics have probably been eroded beyond recognition after so many years. By the way, why on earth did you want to come here of all places?!"

"Shut up! I told you already! I'm here to visit people, not look for relics. Why did you even decide to come with me in the first place?" Xu Que said. He shook his head while scanning the forest in front of him.

I wonder how Su Ling'er has been doing. I left here in a hurry last time I was here. I left them nine God Powered Cannons, but even a force that strong isn't guaranteed to protect them. After all, the Demonic Beast Clan severely outnumbers the Sky Demon Tribe.

"By the way, Buttface, you come from the Demonic Beast Clan, right?"

"Of course not." Buttface replied, stunned. "I come from the Holy Beast Clan!"

"Even so, I am sure that the Sky Demon Tribe will try to attack you when we walk in."

"Why?!" Buttface asked in shock.

"Because there is enmity between the Mysterious Clan and the Demonic Beast Clan!"

"The Mysterious Clan? What kind of clan is this?"

"Well, they are the offspring of the human race and the Demonic Beast Clan. In other words, the members of this clan are half human, half devil."

"What?! I mean… sounds pretty normal to me. You know that the members of this clan are very powerful and talented, right? Once there was a strong man from this clan who was called the Great Sage of Suparna. He almost managed to rule the entire East Continent as well as the entire South Continent. However, it seems that he ended up going to Spiritual Realm before he could fully conquer them both," Buttface said.

Xu Que frowned and shook his head.

"There are not very many members of the Mysterious Clan. Since they are hated by both humans and the Demonic Beast Clan, it is difficult for them to thrive."

"If they are so small, then why would they still want to attack me?! I don't have anything against them!" Buttface complained.

"It doesn't matter. They still might mistake you as a member of the Demonic Beast Clan. Since they hate anyone who is from that Clan, I suggest you be on your best behavior when we enter," Xu Que said with a smile.

"If I behave myself, does that mean I'll be fine?"

"No, if you behave yourself, then maybe they will less harsh on you."

"F*ck!"

…

They headed deeper into the forest.

Xu Que still remembered the path that led to the Holy Demon Tribe and quickly found the cave entrance. The cave entrance had not changed one bit. Strange. He had expected the Demon King to make some improvements to it.

Since he had left, Su Ling'er changed the tribe's name from the Holy Demon Tribe to the Sky Demon Tribe. This new name definitely sounded more superior, especially since the Sky Demon Tribe's leader was the empress of the entire Mysterious Clan.

When they passed through the cave, Xu Que was shocked by what he saw.

The trees were all destroyed, so were the houses. Dust covered everything.

When Xu Que first came here, this place was like another Shangri-la. The mountain was green, the water was clear, and the men were plowing in the field while the women knitted at home. Everything was so harmonious.

But now, everything was ruined and deserted. Xu Que could not sense a single living thing here.

"How can this be…" Xu Que was stunned.

I left them nine God Powered Cannons. Even if they had been ambushed by a herd of Demonic Beasts, they should have been able to defeat them easily.

What on earth happened?! Who did this?! Where is Su Ling'er?!

Xu Que was so angry that he almost went crazy.

"How strange! I smell something that is strangely familiar…" Buttface said. He then ran to the open field in front of them.
