Ultimate Scheming System

WHOOSH!

Xu Que waved his hand to release his Soul Strength. Then it pushed the two souls back into the Firestorm Wheels.

The two souls’ dissipation slowed down as soon as they calmed down.

FLOP! FLOP! FLOP!

At the same time, several heavy things dropped on the ground on the first level of the Heaven Palace Academy, making a weird noise.

Although the sound was quite faint when it was heard by Xu Que and his teammates on the upper level, it still reverberated enough for them to notice it.

The heads and bodies of the old woman and the Deacons fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Many apprentices who were on the first level heard the noise much more loudly and came over to check it out.

Suddenly, the first level dropped into dead silence.

All the apprentices were totally shocked. They looked up at Xu Que, who was standing in the air, and looked down at the corpses on the ground. They were completely dumbfounded.

“Is…this the Grand Deacon?”

“Is she dead?”

“My God! How…could this be possible? The Grand Deacon, who has reached the level of the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, was one of the top three cultivators in our academy! How could she be…?”

“Was she killed by the new Deputy Dean?”

Someone asked a meaningless question. Once again, they all couldn’t help but look up at Xu Que who was standing in the sky.

At this moment, Xu Que was standing in the sky with his hands behind his back like a secluded expert.

GASP!

All the onlookers couldn’t help but gasp at this moment.

All the apprentices and teachers of the academy were shocked and couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

In the past, they had doubted Xu Que’s strength. They didn’t believe that Xu Que could reach or exceed the level of a Celestial King. Otherwise, how could he be willing to just act as a Deputy Dean? A Celestial King could rule the Heaven Palace Academy and even the entire Heaven Continent easily!

Now, they were dumbfounded again. This guy had killed a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven! Nobody could doubt his identity as a Celestial King anymore.

The vitality of a Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven was extremely powerful. Even Dean Li Qinghe, who was one stage higher than Grand Deacon, was not able to kill her instantly. The fight between them would last for several days and nights. And he was not able to stop the Grand Deacon from escaping if she decided to do that.

Those who could kill a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven must be much more powerful and should at least have reached or even exceeded the level of Celestial King!

No wonder!

No wonder he could declare war against the three families. And he even declared that he would handle the three families alone! Obviously, he was confident that he could do that!

They became more and more fearful and worried as they thought about all the ramifications of this issue.

As the old saying goes, a new broom sweeps everything clean! First, Xu Que killed Bao Jian, Zhang Liyun, and Lin Huan. Then he swept away the Grand Deacon and several Deacons of the Heaven Palace Academy. Who would be his next target?

Many people knew the answer in their hearts. According to the logic that he had followed so far, they figured that his next target would be the Sage Sect!

They were quite clear that Jiang Hongyan had always said that Xu Que was her cultivation companion. However, the Sage Sect and the Heaven Palace Academy still wanted to force her to marry the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus. Now Xu Que’s father, who was so powerful, had arrived. It was highly possible that his next target would be the Sage Sect.

“I had heard that the Grand Deacon changed the layout of all the abodes on the upper level. It seems she placed Jiang Hongyan’s abode in a place very close to the abode of the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus. I guess the academy was trying to create more opportunities for them to be together. Now, I guess it is highly possible that that was the reason for the new Deputy Dean to kill the Grand Deacon!”

“Holy sh*t! Just because of this? As far as I know, Jiang Hongyan is performing secluded cultivation. Even if her abode was placed in a new place, it was impossible for the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus to get close to her. The Grand Deacon was killed mistakenly!”

“Nonsense! I feel good about her death. That old woman was not honest at all. The Deputy Dean has eliminated a pest in our academy!”

“I’ve also heard that. The Grand Deacon was very close to the Sage Sect. Although the relationship between our academy and the Sage Sect is quite good, the Grand Deacon was just too close to them. I always got a feeling that she was a spy of the Sage Sect!”

PUFF! “Describing her as a spy is exaggerated. I think the Grand Deacon was trying to make up to both sides!”

“You know nothing! I used to see her dropping on her knees in front of that Divine Being of Taoist Fetus. Then she did something shameless!”

“Holy sh*t! Buddy, you can’t talk nonsense like this! How could that Divine Being of Taoist Fetus do that with the Grand Deacon, who was an old woman?”

“Of course! I even saw the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus smiling at that time!”

“Wow! That’s so horrible?”

“Horrible? It was certainly horrible! When the Grand Deacon knelt down in front of the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, she kowtowed to him and even called him the young master! Isn’t that horrible? The Grand Deacon must be from the Sage Sect!”

“D*mn! You call this horrible?”

“Sh*t! You have been telling us stories!”

People were talking about this issue nonstop. The identity of the Grand Deacon became their number one topic.

Many people in the academy knew some secrets. But they didn’t talk about the secrets because of their low status.

Now the Grand Deacon had been killed. Some bold people started to talk about the secrets they knew about her.

However, the Grand Deacon was dead now, and it was quite difficult to verify whether those secrets about her were true or not.

Xu Que was not interested in her secrets at all. While these people were gossiping, he had earned more than 100,000 Acting Tough Points. Now, he was flying contentedly together with Buttface, Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, and Liu Jingning toward their next target, which was the abode of Jiang Hongyan.

There were so many abodes on the upper level of the academy. Without effective guidance, it was quite difficult for them to find Jiang Hongyan among all the abodes that had been sealed.

However, according to the direction that the Deacons tried to chase them away from just now, Xu Que was basically sure that Jiang Hongyan was near here. He believed they could find her.

They split up and started to search for the abode of Jiang Hongyan.

On his way, Xu Que checked the System interface and found something new in the package. They were the storage rings of the Grand Deacon and the other Deacons. These rings had been opened by the System and their contents sorted automatically.

“What?”

Xu Que glanced at the items. He was shocked by what he saw.

Normally, when he killed his enemies, the System would collect their storage rings. However, Xu Que had little interest in the belongings of his enemies. Maybe the Spirit Stones and pills would be useful for him. All the rest of the things would be totally useless.

However, now, taking a quick glance, he found a precious item in the booty. It was an old and damaged Guqin.

After evaluation, the System told him this Guqin was just an Inferior Celestial Artifact. All the strings of the Guqin were gone and only its wooden body was left. Although it was a damaged item, it was still an Inferior Celestial Artifact!

Apparently, if it had been complete, it would be far more precious. It was still repairable. As for the level of this item after being repaired, Xu Que only found some question marks in the System interface!

Xu Que knew the upper limit of this Guqin would be very high, which couldn’t even be evaluated by the System at this moment.

“This is quite interesting! It seems I’ve found something precious! I’m afraid this Guqin will be enhanced remarkably as long as I can find appropriate strings for it!” Xu Que smiled to himself.

“If I could repair this Guqin, I would play the main theme of Tokyo Hot before starting a fight with my enemies. Then I will defeat my enemies with the music of this Guqin! This is so desirable!”

“Little brat, come here, I’ve found her!”

At this time, Buttface’s coarse voice could be heard from not far away. He was standing in front of a small mountain as he waved his paw at Xu Que.
