Ultimate Scheming System

Having felt the Fire Emperor’s rage, the crowd turned towards him curiously.

The Water Empress had an extremely calm look across her face as she smiled out and shook her head, "Fire Emperor, you’re mistaken. Hong Yan will not interfere with the feud between the both of you."

When the Fire Emperor heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He wasn’t worried that the Water Empress would dissolve the spells of the Sacred Grounds. Instead, he was worried that the Water Empress would put a nail in the coffin by making an enemy out of the Fire Nation.

At this point, the Fire Nation’s Dragon Veins had been disturbed and was at a point where the Nation was extremely weak. Thus, losing a powerful ally in the Water Nation would place them in a vulnerable state which could be potentially dangerous. Hence, he hoped that the Water Nation wouldn’t turn against him, for that could be fatal at this juncture.

As soon as the Fire Emperor’s heart resumed its calm and composed beat, he heard the Water Empress continue, "However, Xu Que participated in the Sky Incense Valley’s recruitment test and had gained the Elite Entrance Order, indicating that he’s a special disciple. I’ve thus taken it upon myself to take him under my wing as my disciple. Hence, I will ensure that he will not be harmed!"

"..." As soon as she finished speaking, all the cultivators around were beyond stumped.

Xu Que, that kid even participated in the Sky Incense Valley’s recruitment?

Fuck me! How is he everywhere? Is there a place on earth that he hasn’t been to?

No wonder the Water Empress has been assisting him the entire time. Indeed, she could tell that he’s an outstanding and extraordinary cultivator, and wished to recruit him!

The crowd were filled with looks of astonishment.

At this point, the Fire Emperor and his group of officials all froze on the spot, filled with dread.

The Water Empress’ words were clear enough. She will ensure that Xu Que remains unharmed.

That means, if Xu Que attacked and killed anyone, she wouldn’t care. But if someone attacked Xu Que, she would interfere.

The Fire Emperor’s expression turned ugly upon this realization.

Damn it! You’re allowing him to attack us, but we can’t attack him?

What kind of rubbish is this?

That’s too ridiculous! Too unreasonable!

You even said that you will ensure that he remains unharmed?

Even without your protection, can this kid even be harmed?

This kid has tons of tricks and magic treasures up his sleeves!

Even the God Powered Cannon couldn’t hurt a single strand of his hair and Killer God’s Single Stroke was now possessed by him!

It seemed like the Fire Emperor and all his officials are doomed, yet this kid won’t even be hurt!

"Hong Yan, are you sure that you want to do this?" The Fire Emperor growled, his eyes were filled with rage.

The Water Empress giggled and didn’t reply.

At this point, an old eunuch ran to the Fire Emperor’s side as he fell to his knees and exclaimed excitedly, "Report to your majesty! The teleportation device is close to completion. We can all start making our way towards it!"

"Haha! Good. Very good!" The Fire Emperor laughed out loudly as he exuded a look of fearlessness.

He then turned to the Water Empress, "Hong Yan, you can reconsider that again. I shall go down to the Imperial Tomb to perform a ritual and make a sacrifice. I shall call upon the protection of the Fire God. He will be able to turn the situation around. Are you sure you wish to make an enemy out of the Fire Nation just because of this unassuming little bastard?"

"You wish to make a sacrifice to the Gods?"

When the Water Empress heard this, her brows knitted and her face turned cold, "How could you even think of doing such an evil and inhumane act?"

"Hahaha! Everything that I’m doing is for the sake of the entire Fire Nation. How can it be considered evil and inhumane? Instead, the little bastard beside you has his hands full of blood from the innocent. He’s killed hundreds of Imperial Guards and didn’t even let off my own concubine from his devious ways!"

"Fuck! How’s that my problem!?" Xu Que was clearly upset as he opened his eyes wide in protest, "Dog Emperor, stop slandering the innocent. I, Xu Que, do things openly and forwardly. What I’ve done, I dare to own up to it. Even when I step on an ant by accident, I would be filled with remorse and guilt for a year. Since you said that I’ve killed hundreds of Imperial Guards, let me ask if you have any proof!"

"..." The crowd’s lips curled into a snarl.

Big brother, please stop pretending, alright?

How can you say that you’ve done things openly and forwardly, and owned up to your own actions?

We are the proof! We’ve seen it all with our own eyes!

Besides, you’ve just slaughtered dozens of Tiansha Assassins and you even killed their elder, the Killer God. How can you say you’ve never killed anyone? Who on earth would believe you?!

The Water Empress was stumped by his remarks as well. When she turned to look at Xu Que, she saw that he had a look of innocence and anger, as though he had just been misunderstood and wronged. At that moment, she didn’t know if she should laugh or cry.

The Fire Emperor was so angry that he started laughing out coldly, "Hahaha! What a thick skinned shameless kid. Indeed, you are the disciple of Duan Jiu De. It’s a pity that you’re going to be dead soon. Luck will not stay with you forever!"

"Yo, you’re so confident? Are you sure that your sacrifice to the Fire God would work?" Xu Que asked through smiles.

"Be good and await death!" The Fire Emperor ignored what Xu Que had said as he was filled with confidence in his upcoming plans on how to deal with Xu Que.

He then turned to look at the Water Empress once again as he spoke in a low voice, "Hong Yan, I shall ask you again. Are you sure you wish to pit yourself against the Fire Nation?"

"I’ve already said that I shall not interfere with the feud between the both of you. However, Xu Que is considered half a disciple of the Sky Incense valley and I need to ensure his safety!" The Water Empress spoke calmly, yet her tone bore fierceness and unwavering resolution.

Xu Que couldn’t help but to froze in shock as well. Indeed, no man in this world could fuck this woman, for only a God would be worthy. She was too charming and every man who laid eyes on her would be overwhelmed.

But... Why is the Water Empress protecting me? And she actually doesn’t mind making an enemy out of the Fire Nation?

Fuck me! Could it be that she is truly attracted to how cool I am?

Heavens! I didn’t expect the perfect Water Empress to be so superficial. Why does the heavens treat me this way? Can nobody else see my other attractive traits? Why does everyone ignore them and only focuses on how handsome I am and how well I act tough?

"Hahaha! Alright then, Hong Yan, I shall remember what you’ve said today. If our nations declares war on each other, don’t blame me for being too vicious. After all, it was you who first broke our agreement!" The Fire Emperor laughed out in anger as killing intent radiated out from him!

"Break your sister! You’re fucking hiding inside there and you still have the cheek to act tough?" Xu Que lashed out at him in anger.

At the next moment, he turned to look at the Water Empress and spoke sincerely, "Little miss, but it’s true that you were acting rather unconventionally. That dog Emperor is at his weakest now so you shouldn’t turn against him this way. This would certainly embarrass him and put him in a difficult spot."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was complete silence all around!

The Fire Emperor was stumped.

The Water Empress froze in shock.

Everyone else watching were filled with astonishment.

What... What’s this kid trying to do?

The Water Empress was trying to help him but he actually turned around and accused the Water Empress of being too unconventional? Is he crazy?

"Alright, alright. Let’s not waste any more time. Let me demolish this wall before we continue our conversation." Xu Que spoke as he stood up and jumped off the excavator.

Demolish the wall? How naive! You think you can use this excavator to demolish the wall? You will probably take more than half a day!

The Fire Emperor and all the officials broke out in a cold laughter.

At this point, they were fearless since they knew that the teleportation device was almost completed. They were all about to leave the palace and head to the tombs to start their ritual to the Fire God.

Once that was done, their luck would improve and Xu Que would be doomed!

Indeed, Xu Que then turned around and faced the other cultivators.

Under the astonished glances of the crowd, he flung his hands and placed them on his waist. He then shouted out loudly, "You might walk past me but don’t walk past this opportunity! Heavenly Explosion Faction’s Lanxiang Vocational Class shall begin enrolment soon. You shall have real life learning experience along with famous teachers who would guide you. There are also free tutorials. Hurry and sign up now!"

As soon as he finished, he waved his hands as nine rays of bright white light flashed across his sleeves.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Nine loud consecutive sounds could be heard as another nine excavators appeared right before Xu Que in front of the crowd!

At that moment, everything was pin drop silent that even a falling leaf could be heard.

Ten excavators?

Fuck...

Big brother, you are the unconventional one!
