1201 The Exploding Heavens Faction Lives Up to Its Words! (1/2)

Xu Que was really surprised. He thought that after his departure, the Waste Realm would gradually be restored to its former peace. Although there would still be robberies and killings over treasure, it would certainly be much better than when he was there.

That was also temporarily letting the Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect off. But he didn't expect that in just two days, a lot of things had happened. It wasn't difficult to understand from the discussion of the crowd that there had been several conflicts and disputes happening near the edge of the Waste Realm.

Dean Lin from the Dingtian Academy had joined forces with the majority wanting to seal the exit of the Waste Realm. In fact, the purpose was obviously to force the people from the Exploding Heavens Faction out. If they weren't caught coming out, they would simply seal the people from the Exploding Heavens Faction in the Waste Realm and wait for the Waste Realm to return to its dreary state. All the people who remained inside would die!

This plan had immediately sparked the objection of a small group of forces represented by the Litian Academy. Even some disciples of the major forces were objecting to the plan. Their friends or relatives had entered the depths of the Waste Realm. They probably didn't even know that the Waste Realm was going to be sealed. How could they rush back in time?

On the second day, someone proposed delaying the sealing of the Waste Realm while continuing to inspect all those who came out. They should wait for more people to return, and it wasn't too late to seal it then. But Dean Lin rejected the proposal directly. He didn't even bother to explain himself.

In fact, he just wanted to let the people of the Exploding Heavens Faction stay inside and be swallowed up by the Waste Realm. It would provoke others from the Exploding Heavens Faction to seek revenge, and then he would annihilate the Exploding Heavens Faction in one go.

That was merely one of the reasons for his plan. In fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate those forces opposing the Dingtian Academy, which certainly included the Litian Academy.

In the past, it had been very difficult for the Dingtian Academy to unite other forces to eradicate the Litian Academy. After all, he had had no excuses to do that before. Now, he had formulated a plan with the Equipment Refining Sect secretly. When they were eradicating the Exploding Heavens Faction, they would eradicate the other forces too, killing two birds with one stone!

If the plan succeeded, the social status of the Dingtian Academy in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm would rise, and they would also provide a large quantity of natural treasures to the Equipment Refining Sect. Then the Equipment Refining Sect would benefit and soon catch up and surpass the Pill Refining Sect.

Of course, when the plan was implemented, the Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect would suffer some losses. They lost the trust of some disciples, because some disciples of the Dingtian Academy, the Equipment Refining Sect, and other forces couldn't rush back in time, and they chose to give up on them. The other disciples were disheartened.

There was a Chinese saying: a general builds his success over the dead bodies of 10,000 soldiers. If one wanted to be the strongest and the sole dictator of the world, that route to success would ultimately need to be covered by innumerable dead bodies!

Dean Lin and Elder Li, the deacon of the Equipment Refining Sect, were determined to go ahead. No one could stop them. Nevertheless, they would never let the public's criticisms focus on them. They had sent a group of people to spread rumors and push all the blame onto the Exploding Heavens Faction.

”Humph, in fact, the Exploding Heavens Faction is to blame for all this!”

”If they hadn't wreaked havoc, the Dingtian Academy, the Equipment Refining Sect, and other forces wouldn't have made such a decision!”

”You're right! It's all the Exploding Heavens Faction's fault!”

”They're the root of all evil, and, in order to eradicate them, we must pay the price!”

The force of the public must not be underestimated. In just two days, many people who had complained and grumbled about the Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect were also influenced to regard the Exploding Heavens Faction as their enemy.

The faulty reasoning had successfully brainwashed some of them and caused them to shift their grievances toward the Exploding Heavens Faction.

Hence, when Xu Que was sitting in the Resting Inn and listening to the other people swearing at the Exploding Heavens Faction, he was extremely offended and heated.

”Ha, well done, Dingtian Academy and Equipment Refining Sect! Nice play!”

Xu Que was so incensed that he smiled, but his eyes were glistening with hostility, and he had already taken out the Six Rens Earth Plate. ”I had planned to let this slip, but I didn't expect all of you to provoke me again, so...don't blame me on this!”

With a bang, Xu Que stood up. The tables and chairs beside him had turned into ashes.

All the people in the Resting Inn were shocked, and they looked at Xu Que one after another.

Xu Que's gaze swept through the crowd and he said, ”This is clearly the doing of those from the Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect. They have pushed all the blame onto the Exploding Heavens Faction. It's all right if you're dim-witted, but if you dare mouth malicious remarks about the Exploding Heavens Faction, I don't mind killing any of you!”

Whoosh!

When everyone heard that, their expressions changed in an instant, and the atmosphere suddenly turned ice-cold.

Xu Que's warning had revealed his identity. Everyone had guessed that the young man in front of them was from the Exploding Heavens Faction!

Nevertheless, someone had the guts to summon up all his courage and asked Xu Que, ”Isn't it your fault? If the Exploding Heavens Faction didn't provoke the Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect, there wouldn't be so many troubles now!”

”Ha. That's interesting!” Xu Que shook his head and sneered. His smile was full of misery.

”In this world, life is unpredictable, why are there so many ifs?”

Instead of killing the man, he said indifferently, ”If the Steal Sect didn't target us first, we wouldn't have stolen from the Steal Sect. If we hadn't stolen from the Steal Sect, Ling Feng of Baihui City wouldn't have hunted us down. If the Young City Governor of Baihui City didn't pursue us, we wouldn't have gone to the City Governor's Mansion and caused a mess. If the Equipment Refining Sect hadn't hidden the Equipment Refining Tower in the Treasure Room of the City Governor's Mansion, we wouldn't have mistaken it for the Treasure Room of the City Governor's Mansion, and robbed them…”

Speaking of that, Xu Que flashed a cold gaze and continued in a cold voice, ”If, what's the use of so many ifs? This world only listens to the strongest! Now, all I have to do is to let you see clearly that there's only one if in the grand finale!”

”Since both the Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect said that if it wasn't because of the Exploding Heavens Faction, they wouldn't have sealed the Waste Realm! Then...” Xu Que was exuding a murderous aura, and he continued, ”...I just want to say that if I annihilate the Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect, the Waste Realm will not need to be sealed!”

”Hence, I declare here that after today, there'll be no more Dingtian Academy and Equipment Refining Sect in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm!”
