1406 A Young Man Named Joker (2/2)
”Joker?”
Everyone there, including many members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, looked at each other with puzzled faces. They seemingly had never heard of a name like that.
Duan Jiude's expression suddenly became very alert.
He was deeply impressed. His grand master had been to the Five Elements Mountain in the past, but, after returning to the secret land of the South Continent, she'd always been preoccupied, playing and singing a song on the mountaintop every day, seemingly waiting for something and showing infinite sadness.
In the beginning, Duan Jiude and the others were deeply confused about this. It wasn't until later when he reunited with Buttface and Xu Que that he understood this matter. Xu Que had transformed himself into Joker and had spent a whole mortal life with the grand master in the Illusory Spell.
Xu Que had never explained what exactly had happened in the Illusory Spell, and had only told them about the magic of the Illusory Spell. At the time, Duan Jiude didn't think too much about it.
Now, though, Duan Jiude felt a little uneasy when he heard Zixia Fairy asking about Xu Que's alias.
”Why has my respected grand master asked about that boy's whereabouts as soon as she's arrived?
”Could it be...that that boy was so naughty that he offended the grand master and made the master so angry that she had to come back to avenge herself?
”Never mind, anyway, that boy's life is so uncertain, I will do him a favor and help him avoid a problem.”
”Grand master, the man named Joker has died in the Celestial Burial Valley,” Duan Jiude explained, as he bowed slightly and lowered his head.
He felt a little guilty and didn't dare to lie to her face. After all, this grand master was notoriously strict, and he'd suffered a lot of punishment from her in the past.
However, after hearing what Duan Jiude had said, her body trembled under her spacious robe and her hands involuntarily clasped tightly.
”After all this, one step late!”
”He...how did he die?” As Zixia Fairy asked this question, her voice was trembling, and it seemed mixed with extreme sadness and anger.
However, Duan Jiude only heard the anger in her voice, not the sadness. He hurriedly replied, ”Your grand master, he was murdered by the sons of b*tches of the Sea Tribe, whose ancestor set up the furnace in the Celestial Burial Valley. Grand master, where are you going?”
Before Duan Jiude could finish speaking, Zixia Fairy had already turned into a virtual shadow and swept across the sky. A murderous response could be heard from far away, ”Revenge!”
HISS!
Duan Jiude took a deep breath, his face full of shock.
”Mother of God, what the h*ll did that boy do to my grand master? She wants to avenge him after finding out he is dead? D*mn, d*mn. That boy is going to die miserably.” Duan Jiude became very anxious.
When everyone who was present heard this exchange, they immediately opened their eyes wide.
”Duan Jiude, what did you say? The Joker she is looking for is Xu Que?” Liu Jingning hurriedly asked.
”Yes! Who else could it be? Oh no, the direction in which my master went seems to be the location of the Spiritual Eye. If that boy is really dead, it would be better. In case he's not dead...I'm afraid he's going to die anyway,” Duan Jiude said, looking at Liu Jingning with a bitter face.
”Well, what are we waiting for? Follow me quickly,” Liu Jingning was also worried, and she turned to follow Zixia Fairy.
Duan Jiude and the others looked at each other and then immediately followed also.
.....
At the same time, there were things happening around the location of the Spiritual Eye.
BANG!
A red beam of light arrived from afar at an extremely terrible speed, and it plunged into the ground and kept drilling as fast as it could go.
Judging from its appearance, this red light resembled the figure of a little turtle, which was the soul of the old turtle that had been destroyed by Zixia Fairy.
It was trying to get as far underground as possible. Feeling shocked and angry, the soul gave a roar, ”That d*mn woman, wait for me. When I find my ancestors, I'll let them kill you and cut you to pieces.”
