All the onlookers were quite confused and couldn't figure out what was happening!

Duan Jiude had evidently mentioned Xu Que was his apprentice. But now Xu Que claimed Duan Jiude wasn't qualified to be his apprentice and even wanted to have a one-on-one fight with Duan Jiude!

However, it seemed they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. This was surprising!

In short, they were definitely not in a master-apprentice relation, but it seemed they were not enemies either!

More importantly, Duan Jiude said he would help Xu Que kill his enemies. But the onlookers could tell that Xu Que was here to kill Duan Jiude . . .

”Holy sh*t! I guess both of them don't know each other's identity!” someone said in surprise.

”Eh …it certainly looks that way!” Someone nodded, his face full of curiosity.

A guy from the East Continent spoke with a wry smile: ”That guy is good at cheating. Now even Duan Jiude cheated by declaring publicly that he would kill Xu Que's enemy, who is actually himself!”

”Ha! Anyway, when the two of them enter the Mystery Land, they will learn each other's identity sooner or later. Then, Duan Jiude will certainly be annoyed and kill Xu Que out of rage!”

”Exactly! According to Duan Jiude's personality, Xu Que's death is unavoidable this time!”

People of all the families and sects from the East Continent sneered for they thought Xu Que was dead meat!

People of the Sky Incense Valley couldn't help but frown. They started to worry about Xu Que after realizing the weird relationship between Xu Que and Duan Jiude.

After all, Duan Jiude . . . is never a guy to be trifled with!

”We've got a big problem now! We should have reminded him earlier!” the Elder of the Sky Incense Valley sighed with a shake of his head.

Tang Xueru and Zhang Suliang also fell silent. After making eye contact, both of them could only smile helplessly.

They didn't have time to remind Xu Que even if they wanted to. More importantly, they were greatly shocked by Xu Que's deeds.

Originally, they thought Xu Que's cultivation was destroyed because he had offended too many people. Now it turned out that the big families and sects didn't dare touch him even after he'd become an ordinary person. On the contrary, the big families and sects were planning to kill Xu Que through Duan Jiude.

Xu Que was always ahead of them!

”I've always thought Lord Xu could even defeat Duan Jiude!” Zhang Suliang said in a low voice. ”According to my knowledge, he's always someone who can survive all kinds of hostile environments!”

Tang Xueru agreed with his words by nodding silently. After all, when they were still in the Five Elements Mountain, they had heard of many things Xu Que had done that could almost be described as miraculous!

…

Xu Que and Duan Jiude had stepped into the Mystery Land. Buttface was following them with his head raised aloofly, and he walked majestically like a nobleman. His facial expression was so high and mighty that it seemed he was declaring that the two people in front of him were just guides while he was the ruler of this land.

They went a few steps when Duan Jiude rubbed his hands and said, ”Little brat, this Mystery Land is very large. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to find your enemy. I suggest we find a place and catch several demonic beasts for a barbeque!” He glanced over at Xu Que eagerly.

Xu Que refused by shaking his head. ”If I can't find my enemy, I won't be in the mood to eat!”

”Damn! As a cultivator, how can you be so greedy? Shame on you!” Buttface denounced Duan Jiude severely, forgetting he himself was also an eating machine.

Duan Jiude was annoyed immediately. ”What a vicious dog! Today I will roast you!” he shouted at Buttface angrily.

”Come on! Let's have a one-on-one fight! I can't bear the sight of you any longer!” Buttface howled.

”Holy shIt! Come here, don't think I don't beat dogs!” Duan Jiude smiled out of rage, then he rolled up his sleeves and tried to catch Buttface.

Buttface howled immediately and started to run. At the same time, he arrogantly shouted, ”Come on, if you're not a coward, come and get me!”

”If you aren't a f*cking coward then stop running!” Duan Jiude was so annoyed that he started to chase Buttface.

”If you aren't a f*cking coward, stop chasing me!” Buttface shouted.

The man and the dog started to chase each other around.

Xu Que was quite embarrassed. He decided to ignore them and started to look around.

He was surrounded by endless plains and hills. Some places were pitted with holes. Apparently, a lot of elixir herbs used to grow here; they had been gathered by someone.

He looked up and found the sky was a translucent blue ocean. He was wrapped by intense Spiritual Qi. He could even smell a wisp of light fragrance which gladdened his heart and refreshed his mind.

Buttface told Xu Que that the Spiritual Qi in the Mystery Land was very intense, so it was more suitable for secluded cultivation compared to the outside world. All the big families and sects sent those with great potential into the Mystery Land.

On the one hand, this would benefit their cultivation; on the other hand, they could also make their families or sects more famous.

As long as they could send their apprentices or family members deep into the Mystery Land, their ranks would be shown on the stone tablet outside the Mystery Land. The deeper their apprentices or family member went, the higher their rank would be!

In this way, the big families and sects could compete against each other and check the strength of their new generation of apprentices or family members.

It is indeed a good place for secluded cultivation. However, I have to find Duan Jiude first! Xu Que murmured in his heart.

After that, Xu Que glanced at Buttface and the dowdy old man. ”Stop your childish game! Let's hit the road now. I'll find my enemy first, then, I will take my time to start my secluded cultivation!”

”Secluded cultivation? Wait, little brat, I didn't realize until you mentioned that! Where are your cultivation achievements?” Duan Jiude stopped abruptly in surprise.

When he'd met Xu Que for the first time, Xu Que had reached the Golden Core Stage. However, all his cultivation achievements had gone now.

”It's a long story. Let's handle the proper business first. I'll tell you later!” Xu Que was not in the mood to waste his words, so he waved his hand and stepped forward immediately.

As an impatient man, Duan Jiude curiously asked, ”Little brat, if you want to find your enemy by walking like this, I'm afraid you won't find anyone for three years. This place is too large. Those who entered here will have arrived at the central area of this layer!”

”Could you help me?” Xu Que asked with a smile.

He'd asked the old man to join him so that the old man could fly and take him, so that he could keep hiding his Taoist Body. When he met Duan Jiude, he could attack him with his Taoist Body in surprise!

”No way! As a prestigious cultivator, I won't fly with someone else so easily! It's not that I don't want to help you—it's a matter of principle!” The old man shook his head resolutely.
