1284 He Is on Our Side! (1/2)

It was pitch-dark in the ruins of the ancient battlefield! Xu Que and the others had succeeded in reaching the other side of the altar. There they found Buttface and Duan Jiude's leftover ingredients that they had used in making their hotpot, and many messy footprints that led in different directions. They also found dog pawprints and traces of dog sh*t in a corner of a wall.

Xu Que glanced at the sh*t. Then he pointed in that direction and stepped forward. Without any hesitation, Bai Cailing and the people from the Jade Lake followed Xu Que. Everyone else also followed Xu Que, after hesitating for a minute or two. Soon, the passage they had chosen became more and more spacious. Finally, a large Taoist Sanctum appeared at the end of the passage.

The entire place was quite shabby. Many weapons and magic artifacts were scattered willy-nilly on the ground, which was riddled with potholes. Apparently, a fierce battle had taken place in this sanctum. It had occurred so many years ago that even the corpses had been turned into fertile soil. Facing the Taoist Sanctum, hundreds of ancient buildings were scattered around this area. These buildings were also quite shabby. Some of them only had broken walls left. Some of them had collapsed and were completely covered by spiderwebs!

”Wow, I didn't expect that this place used to belong to a sect!” Someone said in surprise. It was quite obvious that this place used to belong to a sect. The deities had had a fierce battle here and destroyed it, and it sank deep into the ground. It seemed as if it had been excavated by Buttface and Duan Jiude.

”Elder Xu, I found some footprints here that lead in that direction!” Bai Cailing pointed at the south part of the Taoist Sanctum. Xu Que went over to inspect what Bai Cailing had discovered and found the footprints of Buttface and Duan Jiude on the ground of this Taoist Sanctum. They had passed through the sanctum on their way to the collapsed buildings in the southern part of this area.

The buildings in this southern part were quite normal. According to their footprints, it seemed as if Buttface and Duan Jiude had walked toward those buildings directly and didn't waste any time looking around in this area. Xu Que was completely convinced that Buttface and Duan Jiude must have had a map. Otherwise, how was it possible for them to know this place so well.

”Let's follow their footprints! Don't touch anything or walk off the path of their footprints! This place is quite weird!” Xu Que said seriously as he walked forward, following the footprints of Buttface and Duan Jiude. All the other people nodded their heads because this place felt weird indeed. All the weapons and magic artifacts scattered in this place were full of Lifeless Qi. Also the corpses of all the big shots seemed to have turned to soil in this place. It was quite dangerous for people whose Cultivation Stages were low to walk around here!

BOOM!

However, just as Xu Que had started off following the footprints, an enormous bang had exploded from in front of him abruptly. Dazzling red flames lit up the sky and the entire sanctum. The next moment, Xu Que saw Buttface and Duan Jiude, who were flying back the way they had come helter-skelter. With them Xu Que saw Mo Junchen, who was running behind Buttface. But he didn't see Liu Jingning. He rushed over to them immediately.

”What? Someone else has also come into this place!” Duan Jiude, who was running rapidly, was shocked when he saw Xu Que and Bai Cailing, as well as all the people from the other sects who were standing behind Xu Que.

”Hey! Who is this old man? He is just at the Half-Celestial Stage! How dare he rush toward us alone?” Buttface also saw Xu Que. Then he sneered as he waved his paw, ”Guardian Mo, kill this old man!” Hearing that, Mo Junchen was about to attack Xu Que with a magic art. However, Xu Que had stopped in front of them. When Mo Junchen saw the golden ”Holy Physique” written on Xu Que's chest, he was stunned a bit and stopped his attack.

”Buttface, Heavenly King Overpowers Ground Tiger!” Xu Que said in a low voice.

”Jade Emperor Sleeps with Queen Mother!” Buttface blurted out immediately. Then his eyes got very wide and he shouted, ”Holy sh*t! Stop! He is on our side!”

”D*mn! The little brat has disguised himself again!” Duan Jiude cursed in a low voice. Mo Junchen also understood Buttface's words. Actually, he had figured out Xu Que's identity already from the two golden characters on Xu Que's chest. They stopped in front of Xu Que and fixed their eyes on Bai Cailing and the rest of the people who were behind Xu Que.

”Little brat, why did you bring them here?” Buttface asked in a low voice. Xu Que frowned and shook his head. He didn't answer Buttface's question but asked seriously, ”Where is Liu Jingning?”
