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!
Without much choice, the Imperial Palace powerhouses could only obediently move to the front of the crowd. On one hand, they were terrified of Xu Que's strength. They worried that Xu Que would throw them into the spell if they resisted him. On the other hand, they were also aware that the Empress was not on their side. While that revelation shocked them, they felt more pity than anything else. Once the Empress of the Tong Tian Nation, she had been unexpectedly won over by an unknown boy. It was like inserting a flower fairy in cow dung!
"Fellow cultivator, let's make this clear – if we come across any really dangerous spell restrictions, we will not go ahead and sacrifice ourselves in vain!" said an Imperial Palace powerhouse as he looked at Xu Que.
Although now they had agreed to risk their lives, they still needed a bottom line. If they came across an obvious death trap, they couldn't be expected to jump in and die.
