I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
Outside the Celestial Burial Valley, white clouds sparsely dotted the clear and boundless sky. Although hundreds of cultivators gathered outside the valley, it was still quiet.
These people had been sent to spy on Jiang Hongyan's action. They didn't plan to attack her—they didn't have the guts to attack her.
When Liu Jingning arrived, she had taken off her human-skinned mask along with Xu Que and revealed her face. The cultivators had already recognized her identity. As the prestigious Holy Virgin of the Utopia Sect, Liu Jingning was not someone they could mindlessly offend, even if she was not as reputable as Dong Genji.
Moreover, Jiang Hongyan had reached the highest level of the Infant Transformation Stage. None of the cultivators dared attack her.
Liu Jingning and Jiang Hongyan silently watched Xu Que, who was setting up spells at a distance.
