Ultimate Scheming System

"Haha! Now things are getting interesting!" Xu Que was overjoyed as he stepped deeper into the building.

If there’s no spell in this realm that could harness the Yin and Yang elements together, doesn’t that mean that even the lowest grade Yin Yang spell would ensure that I would be able to act tough?

Taiji Punch?

Dark Hades Yin Yang Spell?

And what’s that spell called? Dual... Heavenly Fire and Ice Ninth Wave?

Hehe... There are too many for me to choose from! After all, spells which combine both the Yin and Yang elements are what Heavenly Explosion Faction specializes in!

Thinking this way, Xu Que’s lips curled upwards as he waved a hand.

Whoosh!

Under the astonished glances of everyone, a ray of bright white light enveloped the room. At the next moment, the room was completely empty and every treasure was stored in the system inventory!

The crowd was aghast.

Big brother... Isn’t that too crafty of you?

All the treasures of the Fire Nations which took thousands of years to accumulate, were swept up by you just like that?

Where did you get such a huge storage ring from?

The entire crowd who had followed him earlier to witness the fight all watched on in envy.

This was the Fire Nation’s Treasure Cove!

Most of the cultivators knew the value of every single piece of treasure since it had earned its spot within the treasure cove. They knew that just a single piece would be enough to start a bloodbath, where people would fight and risk their lives just to get a hand on it. It was very obvious at a single glance that these were precious treasures which had been obtained by many generations of Fire Emperors.

If any of these treasures were acquired by a normal cultivator. He would ensure that this heirloom remains within his family for as many generations as possible, passing it down with great reverence.

However, Xu Que treated these treasures as if these were mere cabbages. As soon as he got his hands on them, he swept them up in a huge bunch like he didn’t care at all.

It was no wonder that the entire group of cultivators shot him looks of admiration and envy. They were all filled with thoughts about how this Xu Que was truly lacking in morals, about how he could sweep all these treasures up without even batting an eyelid. The Imperial family had stored these items for generations yet now, all of it were all gone because of your greed.

"What are you looking at? The Fire Emperor and I are extremely close. His treasures are my treasures as well. His wife is also my wife. It’s not like you’ve never heard of this before. Why do you sound so surprised?" Xu Que raised his voice at the crowd.

Everyone around was left speechless.

Because these words... had some truth to them.

Most of the cultivators around already knew about how the Fire Emperor allowed Concubine Fantasy to disguise herself as the Flaming Sun Princess to deceive the Prince Consort.

Although this was the Fire Emperor’s plan, how can you say such things aloud for everyone to hear! That’s such a private matter!

However, the crowd were already familiar with Xu Que’s temper. They already knew how he was so thick skinned and shameless that they had no other reaction but to remain speechless.

The treasures within the room had long been coveted by the entire group of people around. As soon as they laid eyes on it, they wished to get their hands on it. If it weren’t for the fact that Xu Que was so vile and intimidating, they would’ve burst into a frenzy and started fighting with him for it.

"Let’s go then. Let’s go to the Imperial Tomb and find that dog Emperor to settle scores. Cutting the grass won’t completely kill the plant. If you wish to watch an exciting scene, you can come. I won’t charge an admission fee..." Xu Que waved a hand as he retrieved all ten excavators.

Asking everyone to watch him was also for him to act tough. Because acting tough was only possible with people watching!

Moving fluidly and swiftly, he jumped atop the teleportation device.

Soon after, he retrieved several high grade spirit stones from his system inventory and slammed it into the crevice of the teleportation device.

When everyone saw this, they hesitated at first. However, several people followed closely behind him as well.

After all, everyone wanted to witness Xu Que and the Fire Emperor engage in another battle to determine the winner of this feud.

Additionally, many people around had a certain feeling in their hearts which they found hard to suppress. It was the feeling of wanting to see their own vicious and unscrupulous monarch being beaten up. This was the same Emperor who was always aloof and punished anyone who said no to him. They wanted to see someone as authoritative and mighty as him being punished by a small kid till he had no temper left and till his head was forced to retreat back into his shell.

Such an opportunity to see the Fire Emperor getting beaten up wasn’t something that comes along regularly!

Just by being able to witness something like this would give everyone so much pleasure!

Hence, why wouldn’t anyone wish to follow him and watch an interesting scene unfold?

As soon as the Water Empress saw Xu Que dash towards the teleportation device, she hesitated for a moment before following him as well as she couldn’t stop worrying for his safety and his life.

"Boom doom!"

As soon as the teleportation device was activated, a large gust of energy surrounded an area around it.

At the next moment, the air around the teleportation device started swirling like a vortex and everything became a blur.

A white ray of light then surrounded them as everything became hard to make sense of.

Just several breaths later, Xu Que and the entire group of people following him appeared at a vast plot of land!

Most of the cultivators around examined their surroundings and paused in shock.

"We really arrived at the Eastern Tombs!"

"Can the Fire Emperor really offer a sacrifice to the Fire God in order to call down blessings from him?"

"That’s just a myth. Also, the Fire Emperor wouldn’t decide to do something like this unless it was absolutely his last resort. Ever since the very first Fire Emperor established the nation, none of the Emperors had ever been placed in such a situation."

"That’s because none of the previous Fire Emperor had ever met someone as monstrous as this Xu Que!"

"That’s right. But being a Fire Emperor isn’t an easy job as well!"

The crowd whispered to each other and some of them had even started pitying and sympathizing with him.

As soon as Xu Que had descended from the teleportation device, he directed his vision to the highest point of the tomb where an altar had been erected.

Right at this moment, the Fire Emperor and all the other officials and ministers were standing atop the peak of the tomb.

Based on the way they stood, it seemed like they were preparing for the ritual. The Fire Emperor looked rather intimidating as he stood at the edge, his robes flapping in the wind.

It was normal for most people to look fiercer and cooler than usual, especially right before they were about to use their ultimate plan or spell.

However, when Xu Que saw such a scene, he laughed out to himself before he pointed at the Fire Emperor and shouted, "Dog Emperor! My blade is getting thirsty for your blood. Come, come, come! Be good and accept your death!"

When the Fire Emperor saw that Xu Que and the rest of his followers had arrived, he wasn’t the least surprised. Instead, he laughed coldly as well, "I’ve long guessed that the dog eunuchs didn’t have the guts to destroy the teleportation spell. But alas, you’re still too late!"

Whoosh!

A beam of light shot past and appeared in the air above the tombs. It then started to swirl around at the altar as it wrapped itself on the Fire Emperor.

The Fire Emperor and the rest of his ministers were then surrounded by another layer of protective spell.

"Hahah! Xu Que, what can you do about this? By the time you manage to destroy this protective enchantment, I would have already succeeded with my ritual!" The Fire Emperor taunted him as though he could already imagine how sweet his revenge on Xu Que would taste.

The group of people who followed Xu Que looked up and were aghast at seeing yet another protective spell.

The Fire Emperor had casted another layer of protective spell around himself?

"Haha! Dog Emperor, have you retracted your head into your tortoise shell once again? Do you think that by hiding within the defensive spell, you will succeed with your ritual?" Xu Que burst out laughing and didn’t appear the least flustered.

The Water Empress moved to stand beside Xu Que. Her face was crestfallen and she shook her head, "Xu Que, you won’t be able to make it! Come with me right now! Fire Emperor is right. By the time you break through his spell, he would have succeeded with the ritual! When that happens, he would have the additional strength from the Fire God. I won’t be able to help you when that happens..."

Since things had already escalated to such a stage, she knows that she had to do everything she can to ensure Xu Que’s safety even if it meant destroying the relationship between the Water and Fire Nation.

"Who said that I’m going to break through his protective spell?" Xu Que blinked once as he burst out in a wide smile.

The crowd paused in shock after hearing him say this.

If you’re not going to break the spell wall, then why have you come?

Did you come here to be slaughtered after witnessing the Fire Emperor receiving the blessings from the Fire God?

"What, are you going to admit defeat? But you’re still going to die!" The Fire Emperor heard Xu Que and taunted him.

Xu Que continued laughing, "No. It’s just that I wish to tell you something. Your sister, Madam Ya... I’ve slept with her too! Oh, you’re going to conduct a ritual? Alright then, you can go ahead. I shall wait for you to be done. Please don’t hurry. Take your time. Please don’t be ashamed that I have to wait. I won’t mind!"
