1423 Whats This? (2/2)
His words held a sense of justice and were very powerful. But just as he'd finished speaking, an iron rod fell from his belly with a CLANG and hit the ground heavily. It rolled over twice and went directly to Xu Que's feet.
Xu Que bent his head to look down and exclaimed, ”Sh*t!” He picked up the stick, shocked, and looked at Buttface, saying, ”When did you steal my Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod?”
”I didn't steal it. You were away cultivating in the Celestial Burial Valley, and I was scared that you would lose it, so I took care of it. This isn't stealing.” Buttface was an outrageous liar.
”Okay, okay, let's not fight anymore. Let me say something in the name of fairness.” Duan Jiude took advantage of the situation and said sincerely, ”The two of you are the same. The important thing is that you both know that you're wrong, but you're never going to change, right?”
The whole audience was speechless. ”That's not how you try to stop people from fighting? What the heck is he saying? What does he mean by this anyway?What kind of logic is that?”
”Teacher Duan makes complete sense,” Buttface calmed down and nodded.
”That's right,” Xu Que also nodded and lit a fake cigarette, breathing it in deeply, and blowing out a smoke ring. ”It's good that you know you're wrong. Next time you commit the same mistake, you'll be prepared.”
”???” Everyone stared at these three, rolled their eyes, and felt like they were going to faint. ”What the heck was going on? Saying that Duan Jiude made sense? What kind of people are these?”
The Litian Academy's Dean Qin and the other influential leaders looked at each other, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh. Indeed, Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and Buttface had definitely lived up to their reputations. These three were not normal people.
”Have you all quite finished?” At this moment, Zixia Fairy who had been watching coldly from the sidelines suddenly asked icily. Her gaze fixed on Xu Que and Duan Jiude, as she said indifferently, ”So now, who wants to try to explain this matter to me?”
”Let me try,” Xu Que raised his hand and volunteered himself confidently, angrily pointing at Duan Jiude. ”Regarding this matter, Duan Jiude is the mastermind. He can be said to have deceived his masters and destroyed his ancestors and should be severely punished.”
”Sh*t! ” Duan Jiude cursed loudly, as his expression changed and he turned around to escape.
Zixia Fairy frowned darkly. Why was the truth of the matter not clear? She immediately flicked her wrists, and wisps of flickering purple light swept out, rushing directly toward Duan Jiude, tying up his hands and feet and binding him to his original spot.
”Ah,” Duan Jiude immediately screamed in shock and started to wail, ” Master, Master, I'm wrong, senior, I'm at fault, I'm not a person, I shouldn't have deceived you.”
”You...” Zixia Fairy said coldly.
BOOM!
Just as the word left her mouth, a deafening sound rang out across the Heaven Fire Ice Lake behind them.
Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to take a look. The Heaven Fire Ice Lake showed no movement and was perfectly calm, without any change whatsoever. But the rumbling below the ice lake continued.
”Look quickly, the heavenly fire at the center of the lake seems to have become smaller.” At this moment, someone pointed at the center of the Ice Lake and cheered in surprise.
Xu Que also raised his head and fixed his gaze on it, feeling an unusual oppressiveness coming from the flames. This was a feeling he'd never felt before.
”Unsurprisingly, the land here is strange and not as simple as we thought,” Lord Zeng seemed serious as he spoke in a low voice.
”Ah, why can't I seem to remember what this place is,” Buttface hit his head with a puzzled look on his face, unable to recall the details of his memory.
”Eh?There seems to be a prohibition spell hidden here,” Zixia Fairy seemed to have discovered something and took one step forward. At the frozen lake, she waved her arms.
SWOOSH!
A gust of wind blew past, and the piles of snow on the lake suddenly became glittering and translucent. Everyone's gazes could see right through the clear lake, right to the bottom.
HISS!
The next moment, the whole group breathed in cold air in shock. ”This...what's this?”
