1473 I Have Another Way (2/2)

”F*ck, we have to run away,” Buttface shouted and turned around, ready to slip away.

The two Celestial Kings had arrived just outside the Heaven Palace Academy at the same time as the teleportation device was just about to teleport other Celestial Kings. It looked as if they couldn't wage this war any further.

”Run? Hee, hee, hee, this place has been already sealed. Where do you think you'll be able to run to?”

At this time, a voice full of vigor could be heard, which seemed to have traveled some distance. It rang out everywhere.

BOOM!

The next moment, the void of the Heaven Palace Academy was torn fiercely apart, and two dark shadows flew out from within it. They were two white-haired old people, a man and a woman.

”These two...are the Ancestral Celestial Kings of the Sage Sect.” A person immediately exclaimed in surprise as she recognized the two old people.

Ming Yixuan was also astonished, and his face looked completely surprised. He stepped forward and bowed deeply. He was in awe. He shouted, ”Your junior disciple from the Sage Sect, Ming Yixuan. I pay my respects to two of my ancestors.”

”Get up!” One of them, the old woman, smiled, revealing ugly black teeth.

”Thank you, my ancestor.” Ming Yixuan immediately stood up.

Not waiting for him to speak, the two old people's gazes focused on Xu Que.

”Ha, ha, ha, I really didn't expect that, when we set out a bit late and didn't get to Tian Sha City on time to save our people, this golden opportunity would fall into our laps.

”This is very good news. Since you've come to our door on your own, it also saves us from having made a trip in vain.” The two old people stared at Xu Que and laughed coldly.

The chilly, terrifying Spiritual Qi coming from them made many people tremble with fear.

Xu Que couldn't help frowning. These two Celestial Kings seemed a little strange.

OWWW!! At almost the same time, Buttface screamed miserably. ”Damn it, this place is really sealed. The Celestial Grade Escape Emblem is useless.”

Having said that, he dropped a pile of ash from his paws. Apparently he had sneakily groped for the Celestial Grade Escape Emblem, wanting to slip away, but he'd failed in this attempt.

Mocking smiles could be seen on both of the old people's faces. The old woman shook her head and said, ”In the middle of our journey, we heard about your deeds in Tian Sha City. You actually killed ten Celestial Kings. But then we realized that you had done it with the help of the Heavenly Tribulations. Without the Heavenly Tribulations, you would have long ago been dead.”

”Unfortunately, you can fool others, but you can't fool us. Since you've come to the Ziwei Celestial Realm, you must've been successful in traversing those Heavenly Tribulations. So I guess that means that it's impossible for you to summon another Heavenly Tribulation.” After he'd finished speaking, the old man smiled in an extremely sinister manner.

When everyone present had heard all these words, the realization suddenly dawned on them that it turned out that the ten Celestial Kings had been killed by the Heavenly Tribulations, and it had not been Xu Que's strength that had slaughtered them.

All of a sudden, it seemed as if Xu Que was not so powerful after all.

Xu Que's expression had turned a little ugly. These two old guys from the Sage Sect had clearly come prepared and had also sealed the void of the Heaven Palace Academy in advance, to prevent them from escaping.

This time...it was really big trouble.

BOOM!

A loud noise sounded in the air.

Immediately after the noise had stopped ringing out, an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion stepped out of the teleportation device. He was the Heaven Palace Academy's old ancestor, Li Xuanqi.

Everyone lifted their heads and looked up. All their faces changed, including Dean Li's. Many of the disciples of the Heaven Palace Academy cried out in unison, ”We pay our respects to our old ancestor.”

Li Xuanqi had only left his ancestral tomb several weeks ago.

As the old ancestor of the Li family, he'd founded the Heaven Palace Academy all by himself. His portraits and statues could be seen everywhere in the Heaven Palace Academy. Almost everyone knew who he was.

As soon as he appeared, everyone felt awe-struck.

”Oh, sh*t! We're dead.” Duan Jiude and Buttface suddenly wailed in terror.

Three Celestial Kings had appeared at the same time. They were really done for this time.

”Give me a little time!” At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in Xu Que's mind.

Xu Que was startled and looked toward Zixia Fairy.

”I need time to summon my Taoist Body, which will be enough to kill them.” Zixia Fairy's red lips slightly moved as she continued to communicate soundlessly.

”Wait.” Xu Que immediately shouted to stop Zixia Fairy. He shook his head as he answered her, also soundlessly. ”Don't act rashly. You must have had your own reasons for not letting your Taoist Body integrate for so many years. If I haven't guessed wrong, it would be so that you could step into the level of a Celestial Emperor. If you integrate now, won't you fail to do that through lack of a final effort?”

”I don't care!” Zixia Fairy shook her head. She was determined.

”I care!” Xu Que's eyes got wide and he let out a deep breath as he said, ”Let's wait a bit, perhaps...I have another way!”

With that, he called out the System.

On the System interface, a line of small words was displayed: System upgrade in progress, the current progress is at 98.9 percent.
