Ultimate Scheming System
chapter-740

They were still walking forward, getting deeper and deeper into the tunnel.

But this time, the cultivators were lagging behind and were not enthusiastic about talking with Zixia Fairy as they had been before.

Joker, who was transfigured from Xu Que, was walking right next to Zixia Fairy. Although the cultivators knew Joker was a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, they still did not want to talk to him.

Right at this moment, Xu Que was feeling a bit embarrassed. They had been walking for a few hours, and Zixia Fairy was not uttering a word. Even when Xu Que tried to make conversation with her, she did not reply to him. It seemed that she was still angry at Xu Que for not sticking up for her earlier.

On the journey, they had suffered many restrictions, but Xu Que did not have any chance to act tough by breaking the restrictions since they had all been broken by Zixia Fairy alone. As if she could turn her anger into power, she managed to break all the restrictions one after another, which had greatly surprised the cultivators. Even Xu Que was impressed by her power.

…

"Zixia, I am really impressed by your power!" Xu Que smiled when Zixia Fairy broke another restriction. He had decided to change his tactics and seize every opportunity to praise her. However, this did not work at all. No matter how hard Xu Que tried to praise her, she would not give any responses. It was as if she did not hear Xu Que at all.

You won't talk with me, then I will stop you from breaking the restrictions!

Soon, there was a restriction made of lightning in front of them, and it covered the entire passage.

"Zixia, in fact I also know something about restrictions. Let me deal with this, please!" Xu Que said and quickly moved forward.

Bang!

Xu Que secretly practiced the King of Tough-Acting Fist, which cost him 1,000 Acting Tough Points. In the blink of an eye, the restriction vanished.

Seeing this, Zixia Fairy was a bit shocked. Although it was easy for her to break a restriction, she could not possibly destroy one as easily as Xu Que did.

The cultivators behind were also stunned and said, "This is normal. All the cultivators of the Exploding Heavens Faction are this powerful! Joker must have seen through the layout of the restriction, he managed to break it so quickly."

They continued to move forward. Soon, a pond appeared in front of them, and a golden forest was growing out of the water. What was special about it was that all the trees were burning.

"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth...this is the Five Elements Land!" The cultivators shouted. "Blimey, we are in such bad luck!"

"Zixia, actually I also happen to know something about the working mechanism of an Array! Please let me deal with this!" All of a sudden, Xu Que flew forward.

Bang!

The Array of Five Elements was destroyed, the pond, the golden trees, and the fire all disappeared.

Zixia Fairy was stunned again, as were the cultivators.

After a while, the passage suddenly became extremely narrow and was covered with yellow talismans, and a powerful Sealing Power erupted.

"Zixia, in fact, I also know a bit about the talismans. Let me deal with it!"

Then, he hurriedly practiced the King of Tough-Acting Fist again, again, and again.

"I know something about this. Let me deal with this!"

"Let me deal with this!" Xu Que's voice was echoing in the tunnel.

No matter what scary restrictions they met on the journey, Xu Que destroyed them all.

Zixia Fairy was shocked and began to doubt whether Xu Que had been hiding his real capability all this time, just like she did.

Thanks to Xu Que's High-Class Disguise Puppet, Zixia Fairy could not find out how powerful Xu Que was, no matter how hard she tried.

While the cultivators walking behind were already completely stunned.

For God's sake, how can he know something about everything? He could destroy any restriction with only one punch, and he calls himself someone who knows something about everything?! Clearly, he is someone who knows everything about everything!

…

A few hours later, they arrived at the end of the tunnel.

Zixia Fairy immediately stopped walking, as did Xu Que.

In front of them was an enormous sea. Although there was no wind blowing, the seawater was shining and rippling, while giving out cold air. At the same time, the sea current was moving quickly underneath.

Countless round stones were floating on the surface. The stones had two colors, black and white, and were dotting the surface in disorder. Looking from afar, the entire sea looked like a great checkerboard.

The black-and-white round stones constantly moved with the water. It seemed that two people were moving them.

"My goodness! What is this?!"

"Turned the sea into a huge checkerboard! Who on earth did this?!"

"This is so very strange! Haven't you noticed, once I get close to the sea, I feel the urge to jump into it!"

"Are you all feeling the energy is fading away gradually?!"

"Blimey! This is a Scary Array which would absorb our energy!"

"No! It is not absorbing our energy, it is instilling Liveless Qi into our bodies."

"Let's back off!"

The cultivators shouted aloud and hurriedly backed off.

Xu Que and Zixia Fairy looked at each other and also backed off.

"Zixia, do you know what this is?" Xu Que asked.

Zixia Fairy shook her head and frowned. "I have never seen such a place before!"

Xu Que then said, "Zixia, I wonder, have you ever been here before?"

"Yes!" Zixia Fairy nodded, "30 days ago. I was here. I took the same path here, but something has changed here!"

"I see, what did you see last time?" Xu Que asked in curiosity.

"Last time, I walked all the way down to the bottom layer, but I saw nothing as peculiar as this during my journey. Rather, when I arrived at the bottom layer, I was stopped by a powerful seal," Zixia Fairy said.

"Seal? What sort of seal?" Xu Que asked in surprise.

My goodness! She can't really have come here to break the last seal of the Five Elements Mountain!

Zixia Fairy shook her head. "I don't know, it was a very complicated one anyway. When I tried to break it, the earth began to crack and a shadow suddenly appeared and tried to drag me down to the underground."

She raised up her head and looked at Xu Que, "The reason why I have come to this place with all you guys is to have someone to protect me while I break the seal. In fact, the shadow I met last time was not powerful, but I can only focus on one thing at a time. So while I was destroying the seal, I would have no time to deal with the shadow. As long as someone could help me deal with the shadow, I can definitely break the seal."

"I see!" Xu Que said.

No wonder she came with us this time! With her competence, she could easily deal with this dangerous situation alone. But if her aim is to destroy the last seal of the Five Elements Mountain, I would have to stop her!

Thinking of this, Xu Que patted her shoulder and said confidently, "Zixia, don't worry, I will protect you. Please count on me!"
