First, he was beaten up savagely by Xu Que for an entire afternoon. Soon after, he was made to eat s.h.i.+t. After tolerating Xu Que’s antics, he was ready to have his revenge but Xu Que had escaped scot free.

Now, news had arrived that his Imperial Tombs had been dug up and it was done by someone from the Heavenly Explosion Faction!

The Fire Emperor had received several crucial setbacks and was further injured with each blow. He didn’t even get the chance to recover as more injuries were piled onto him each time!

Dug up the Imperial Tomb?

Heavenly Explosion Faction dared to dig up my ancestor’s tombs?

Was this the actions of Xu Que or was it someone sent by Xu Que?

The Fire Emperor’s vision went black and he felt himself on the verge of pa.s.sing out.

He opened his eyes in a fury and glared at the Imperial Guard, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "Did anyone get a look at the appearance of the intruder?"

"This… This humble subject doesn’t know. This matter was reported by Moving Mountains Sect. Apparently, they saw it for themselves. Besides, we also could feel that the Imperial Tombs had some movements within!" The Imperial Guard fell to his knees and replied anxiously.

The Fire Emperor was so enraged that he couldn’t even speak and killing intent radiated out from his body.

Zi Xuan and Flaming Sun Princess had heard the news as well and hurriedly rushed over.

"Emperor Father, please don’t worry about this matter. Anyone who enters our Imperial Tomb wouldn’t ever walk out alive! Regardless of whether the person who broke in was Xu Que or not, he wouldn’t survive it!" Flaming Sun Princess exclaimed.

Only after hearing this did the Fire Emperor finally calmed down. Several seconds later, he nodded his head, "That’s right. Our ancestors built this tomb themselves. It’s much easier to enter than to come out of it. After all these years, there had been people who managed to enter but n.o.body succeeded in coming out!"

"Hence, father Emperor should recuperate and recover. As for the matter of rebuilding the palace, let your daughter handle it!"

"Alright!" The Fire Emperor nodded his head and closed his eyes once more.

The Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan then retreated away from him.

When they reached an adjourning hall, the Flaming Sun Princess then whispered, "Indeed, he’s managed to break his way in. Looks like this muddled headed man has finally been resolved!"

Zi Xuan pursed her lips, a look of worry fluttered within her eyes. She was still feeling uneasy and felt that it was highly possible that Xu Que could break out!

All because this Xu Que was full of miracles and surprises!

The news dispatched by Moving Mountains Sect had already made its rounds across the entire Imperial City.

Countless of cultivators and civilians alike were extremely shocked!

"Someone actually broke into the Imperial Tomb?"

"Heavens! The last time someone attempted to break in was a hundred years ago and now we have another intruder?"

"And the person is from Heavenly Explosion Faction! Looks like Xu Que has some help. He was just here in the Imperial City wreaking havoc and someone helped him out by creating more problems within the tombs!"

"So what? Of all the people who had broken in thus far, n.o.body managed to come out alive!"

"No. According to the rumors, Duan Jiu De managed to break in and even stole the Luminous Grail!"

"That story sounds fake. How can someone like Duan Jiu De break in just for a stupid glowing cup?"

"That’s right. Those stories are probably false. Even the Fire Emperor didn’t bother about such rumors spreading!"

"The spells within the Imperial Tomb are unbreakable. Even if a Form Synthesis cultivator breaks in, it would be hard for him to come out!"

"It looks like Heavenly Explosion Faction would lose one of their genius disciples then!"

n.o.body ever thought that it was possible for Zhang Qi Ling to escape from the Imperial Tomb alive. Still, breaking into the tomb was no small matter and attracted a significant amount of attention throughout the entire city.

Once again, a member of Heavenly Explosion Faction has created a name for himself!

However, this matter was soon forgotten for another important piece of news started making its way around the Imperial City.

"Another n.o.bility is visiting the Fire Nation!"

"I’ve long heard about it. The Empress of the Water Nation is coming!"

"Yup. It’s been said that the final round of recruitment test for Sky Incense Valley’s new disciples was to be held here in our Fire Nation. It probably has something to do with fire then!"

"Gosh, I never thought that it would ever be possible for me to see the legendary Water Empress whose beauty was said to be unparalleled!"

"It’s been said that this Water Empress had a complex history. She was the leading disciple of Sky Incense Valley and is now the Empress of Water Nation. There are also rumors saying that she’s the only daughter of one of the biggest clans in the world!"

"Regardless, these few days would certainly be eventful. Look at how all those Imperial Guards are stepping up once again, looking so stern!"

"The Imperial Palace is being rebuilt as we speak. Looks like Fire Emperor really respects this Water Empress!"

"Haha! It’s also been said that the Fire Emperor has l.u.s.ted after her for a very long time!"

"Shhh... such things cannot be said! Be careful of the words which leave your mouth!"

The entire city was filled with discussions about the Water Empress’ impending arrival. The story of Xu Que breaking into the tombs was thus overshadowed!

At this exact moment, Xu Que had already delved further into the depths of the Imperial Tomb.

After he had released the Emperor’s Energy from the corpses, Kim Fatty and the other spirits fell into meditation. It was as if those energy was extremely useful and vital to them!

Xu Que didn’t interrupt them and allowed them to cultivate while he started making his way onwards!

According to the maps of the Imperial Tomb, the Dragon Veins was directly beneath the tombs.

There were many other powerful spells guarding the entrance towards this pa.s.sage. Each of these spells was powerful enough to kill off an Infant Transformation staged cultivator and even cultivators of the Void Refining Stage wouldn’t dare to mess around with such spells!

It was a pity that for someone like Xu Que who had the system with him, unravelling these spells were only too easy. As he stood before a protective spell, all he had to do was to spend 50 act tough points and it would be broken instantly!

"Ding! A protective spell has been detected ahead of you. Would you like to spend 50 act tough points to break the protective enchantments?"

"Break it!"

"Ding! A protective spell has been detected 300m ahead of you. Would you like to spend 50 act tough points to break the protective enchantments?"

"Break it!"

"Ding! A protective spell has been detected ahead of you. Would you like to spend 50 act tough points to break the protective enchantments?"

"Break it!"

As a local tyrant of the streets, everytime Xu Que met with a hurdle, all he had to do was to spend some points to see it completely dissolve before him. He hardened his heart and set his goal on digging out the Dragon Veins to destroy it. He shall ensure that the Emperor wouldn’t have access to Imperial Qi any longer before retrieving the Fire Genesis Herbs!

Indeed, after walking deeper, he had already spent 500 act tough points and broke through ten different protective spells which had prevented him from advancing further.

After pa.s.sing his tenth protective spell, he arrived before an entire lake of fiery magma!

"Gruuuuu..."

The entire area around him was a natural crater filled with magma which was moving powerfully around the crevice. Xu Que could also feel numerous spells preventing him from getting close.

The heat from the magma was extremely strong and steam filled the crater.

Even before Xu Que could move nearer, he could already sense danger up ahead.

He then frowned and conjured the system, "System, where are the Dragon Veins?"

"Ding! After checking, the system found out that the Dragon Veins had been subjected to heaven defying methods and was placed somewhere beneath this sea of maga. The system can feel the existence of the Dragon Veins but cannot determine the exact location. The system suggests that the host cause sorrow to the existing generations of the Imperial family in order to detect the exact location of the Dragon Veins!"

"f.u.c.k!" Xu Que shouted out in anger.

After going through numerous of hards.h.i.+ps and painstakingly arriving at this location, after spending numerous act tough points, he had been tricked. The Dragon Veins had been hidden? Who else could the culprit be? Of course it’s all of those old Fire Emperors!

That means at this point, he has to inflict some pain on the Fire Emperor and cause him to feel sorrow in order to detect the location of the Dragon Vein.

"Wait a second. System, are you playing around with me? What the h.e.l.l is sorrow?"

"Sorrow means to make the subject cry tears of heartache and sadness. Only when a member of the Imperial family feels sorrow within his veins can the Dragon Veins be drawn out. Apart from this, there are no other methods!"

"..." Xu Que was stumped. If the system wanted the Fire Emperor’s own veins, that was much easier than getting the Fire Emperor to cry!

No, the Flaming Sun Princess would have to do. But to make that girl cry? Haha! That’s going to be a little tough. No, no… I think getting to the s.h.i.+t-eating Fire Emperor would be easier!

Xu Que shook his head and was extremely gloomy. It took him a great deal of effort to be able to finally reach this point within the tombs only to be informed that the Dragon Veins was lost under this sea of magma.

"Eh? Wait, wait. Magma…" All of a sudden, Xu Que thought of something.

His eyes lit up excitedly as his lips curled into a smile.

"Hehe… The Dragon Vein is hidden within the magma, huh? I shall suck this entire lake of magma dry and see how you can remain hidden from me!" Xu Que laughed out coldly as he thought to himself.

"G.o.d of h.e.l.l’s Compulsion, activate!"

Boom!

At that moment, a loud rumble reverberated out from Xu Que’s body as his meridians roared.

Soon after, a whoosh sound could be heard as Xu Que activated the G.o.d of h.e.l.l’s Compulsion and jumped right into the fiery magma pit!
