Chapter 1199: Tired of Playing
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the same day, the news of the massacre of dozens of aces in the Earth Celestial Stage from the Dingtian Academy and the Zhan Family spread like wildfire.
The news wasn’t leaked by the Litian Academy. But when Xu Que was in the midst of killing, there were some cultivators who were passing by and saw the scene. They secretly used a Recording Crystal Ball to record the battle.
However, such a serious issue couldn’t be completely concealed anyway. Moreover, Xu Que didn’t have the intention to cover it up at all, so those records on the Recording Crystal Ball were made known to the world. The scenes on the Recording Crystal Ball were spread all over, even to the edge of the Waste Realm, and many forces were alarmed.
In the past, they had only heard rumors about how a person from the Exploding Heavens Faction could kill countless aces. Some were even doubtful of it. But this time, it was different. In this case, the battle scenes were presented in front of them. Nobody had any doubts anymore. It had basically been proven!
“The Dingtian Academy is doomed!”
“That’s the Divine Predicting Great Grandmaster Mo Tianji’s Celestial Artifact,the Six Rens Earth Plate! And it was snatched away just like that!”
“Oh my god, why is the Exploding Heavens Faction so powerful?”
“The Zhan Family is down on their luck. They went to look for the fake Zhan Gaoli, but they encountered the Exploding Heavens Faction instead!”
“It’s rumored that Chu Ao from the Dingtian Academy initiated the attack on those from the Litian Academy. The Litian Academy was supposed to be slaughtered by him, but the situation was completely reversed when the dude from the Exploding Heavens Faction appeared!”
“It seems that this time the Dingtian Academy and the Zhan Family lost the bait along with the fish. I’m afraid the Litian Academy will settle accounts with them later.”
Many people talked about it endlessly, all of them with a new understanding of the actual strength of the Exploding Heavens Faction.
On the other hand, the Dingtian Academy was so angry that they were about to vomit blood. They had really suffered pent-up and unspoken grievances this time. If Xu Que took the initiative to rob them of their Celestial Artifact, they could take the moral high ground and criticize the shamelessness of the Exploding Heavens Faction.
However, the scenes on the Recording Crystal Ball started recording from Chu Ao’s attempt to kill Qin Susu and the others, which immediately set the Dingtian Academy and the Zhan Family on the defensive, while the Exploding Heavens Faction looked courageous and righteous.
“You, contact the deacon of the Equipment Refining Sect right now. We shouldn’t allow the Exploding Heavens Faction to do whatever they want. This time I’m going to force every single one of them out and then eradicate them!” Finally, in the tent of the Dingtian Academy, Dean Lin issued an order with a gloomy face. He began to prepare for the plan against the Exploding Heavens Faction.
However, over the next ten days, bad news from the Waste Realm was continuously heard.
The Zhan family had been attacked in the Waste Realm. Every time, when they had just discovered some natural treasures, before they could start their extractions, they were knocked unconscious by a club. When they woke up, they had not only lost the natural treasures, but were also robbed of everything they had before. They were even naked.
Those from the Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect were in a far worse situation. Many died. Countless aces in the Earth Celestial Stage were killed one after another in the Waste Realm. Some died from the bombardment of a Fiery Lotus, some died from the ambush of a Trap & Kill Array, and more of them were slashed in half by a sword!
Those familiar tactics were all done by the Exploding Heavens Faction!
Later, some of the big and small forces who had openly picked on the Exploding Heavens Faction were also tragically robbed after encountering them in the Waste Realm. If they were out of luck, they would be robbed twice.
Many people were scrambling to flee the Waste Realm. They really couldn’t stay any longer.
“Dean Lin, I’m quitting the academy!”
“The Equipment Refining Sect…forget it, from today onward, I’m out of the Equipment Refining Sect!”
“D*mn it, there’s no way we can fight against them. It wasn’t easy to get the spot to visit the Waste Realm, but I’ve gained nothing. And I’ve lost all my other treasures instead!”
“F*ck, a few of my friends died. Fortunately, I was taking a leak nearby and had a narrow escape!”
“D*mn, how many of them from the Exploding Heavens Faction are inside the Waste Realm? I thought they didn’t manage to clinch any spots? How did they get in?”
“Why do I feel that almost half of those who were inside belonged to the Exploding Heavens Faction? This is too scary!”
In a short while, the Dingtian Academy had received more than a dozen applications to withdraw from the academy. Even the Equipment Refining Sect had one or two people wanting to quit, let alone other big and small forces! And more people had also pointed their fingers at the major forces that were responsible for guarding the Waste Realm’s entrance!
The Exploding Heavens Faction didn’t have any spots to enter the Waste Realm. But why were there so many of them inside?
In just over ten days, the top ten of the Human List of the Heavenly Tripod List were occupied by the Exploding Heavens Faction. All of the rankings were achieved while they were in the Waste Realm. It meant that the Exploding Heavens Faction had at least ten people inside the Waste Realm.
Ten people—it was quite a significant number if they were talking about the spots to enter the Waste Realm. Under stringent controls, why was the Exploding Heavens Faction able to get in? Whose negligence of duty was that?
Faced with criticisms and doubts, the major forces were having many problems. They couldn’t comprehend why the entrance of the Waste Realm, which was stringently checked and controlled with countless aces in the Heaven Celestial Stage protecting it, able to be breached by so many from the Exploding Heavens Faction?
At the same time, in a large tent, several important figures from the Dingtian Academy, the Equipment Refining Sect, and other forces were gathered. All of them were in the Heaven Celestial Stage, and they were discussing countermeasures.
Dean Lin from the Dingtian Academy was the initiator of the meeting. He was explaining his plan in a serious voice:
“What has happened in the past ten days is apparent to everyone. If the Exploding Heavens Faction isn’t eradicated, the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm will never be peaceful! Hence, I propose that all forces withdraw from the Waste Realm ahead of time, seal the Waste Realm three days later, and strictly inspect every person who comes out of the Waste Realm. Once we discover anyone from the Exploding Heavens Faction, they will immediately be killed!”
“What if they’re not coming out?” someone asked.
Dean Lin sneered, “If they don’t come out, then they can just stay in the Waste Realm forever. Don’t forget, this Waste Realm isn’t stable yet. A month later, it’ll become muddy again and the Void will be distorted. Do you think that group of people have the ability to open the entrance of the Waste Realm in a month? I’m afraid they can’t even survive a day in there!”
“This…if our people can’t retreat in time, wouldn’t they be sealed inside too?” Someone frowned.
There was a flash of indifference in Dean Lin’s eyes, “If one wants to achieve greatness, one needn’t stand on trifles. Previously, we’ve underestimated the Exploding Heavens Faction. Thus we have been tricked by them and lost our prestige. This time, even at the expense of some of our disciples, we must annihilate the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
As soon as that was said, there was dead silence.
After all, this wasn’t a trivial matter. Once it was implemented, it was inevitable that some disciples wouldn’t be notified in time to retreat. People outside would be aware of their purpose of sealing the Waste Realm’s entrance in advance. At that time, they would face criticism from the world, saying that they resorted to unscrupulous means. How great that pressure would be!
After several seconds, Elder Li, the deacon of the Equipment Refining Sect, who had been sitting beside him with his eyes closed, abruptly opened his eyes and said indifferently, “The old man here agrees with Dean Lin’s decision!”
As soon as Elder Li spoke, the other famous figures of several forces looked at each other and then stood up one after another, saying in unison, “I agree too!”
..…
Meanwhile, Xu Que, who was in the Waste Realm, had already returned to somewhere near the entrance. He had reaped a great harvest in more than ten days. Not only had he retrieved a lot of natural treasures, but the most important thing was the Six Rens Earth Plate; it was a great tool for treasure hunting.
Previously, he had wandered in the Waste Realm for several days but couldn’t find a single treasure. When he used the Six Rens Earth Plate, in a short period, he had reaped great results.
Perhaps it was also because of this that the people of the major forces had the illusion that the Waste Realm was full of people from the Exploding Heavens Faction.
But Xu Que didn’t care about this. He just came to wreak havoc, take advantage of others, and then get his rankings up on the Human List! But now he was really tired of playing.
It was because…he was lonely!
With his current strength, together with several Celestial Artifacts in hand, the Waste Realm’s restriction that only allowed those from the Earth Celestial Stage and below to enter, he was really unable to find an opponent!
In more than ten days, he had used the Celestial Grade Disguise Puppet, disguised himself, and changed his identities eight times. After occupying the top ten places on the Human List, he was already losing interest in the Waste Realm. Hence, he made a decision to leave the place in secret!
