Chapter 678
The entire area was in an uproar . No one could believe what they had heard .
The Living Holy Tree was pulled out!
It's the legendary, unshakable, divine tree—it has existed for so long! How could it be pulled out?
And the one who pulled out the Living Holy Tree is just an ordinary person . He said he is going to cut up the Living Holy Tree and use it as firewood to heat his bath water!
Damn! It's unnecessary to be so extravagant in preparing a bath!
Countless people would be devastated hearing that such a rare treasure was burned as firewood!
People of the Bai Family on the island were paler than death .
Now they realized they had been cheated—enthusiastically and willingly cheated!
With their faces warped by ferocious, furious expressions and their eyes full of fire, several Elders spat blood on the spot .
"How many times have we been cheated by him?" an Elder yelled hysterically .
"Why is the Bai Family always getting cheated?" some young members of the Bai Family asked the Heavens with their eyes full of rage and helplessness .
"We spent 10,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones to buy a useless empty island!"
"Xu Que!"
With a ghastly pale face, Bai Lingrui shouted Xu Que's name through clenched teeth . Her voice was full of hatred .
Her bright eyes were filled with intense murderous intent . She clenched her little fists furiously and her palms, which had been cut by her fingernails, were bleeding .
She thought she could cheat Xu Que this time . She hadn't anticipated being cheated by Xu Que again!
Her heart was full of terror and helplessness . She hadn't even suspected that unshakable Living Holy Tree could be pulled out by Xu Que!
Even more infuriating was that he had pretended to be a conscientious businessman by warning the other families and sects to stay away from this island after pulling out the Living Holy Tree!
Nobody was interested in an island without the Living Holy Tree!
"Ha! Now I understand the meaning of that young man's words before he left!" Outside the island, some powerhouses of other big families and sects started to gloat about the Bai Family's loss after coming to themselves .
"What do you mean?" someone asked .
"That young man warned us to stay away from this island to avoid unnecessary losses . His warning was for our benefit! I thought he was just talking tough . I didn't expect it was really for our own sake!"
"Right! If not for his warning, we would have really started a fight for this island, which would have inevitably caused great casualties!"
"Yes, we should appreciate that young man!"
"What a good man he is!"
Many people started to commend Xu Que with great emotion .
Of course, their exclamations were nothing more than the deliberate ridicule of the Bai Family's foolishness .
Full of nothing but rage, people of the Bai Family could say nothing to retort .
After all, to the other families and sects, the Bai Family had dug their own grave, paid Spirit Stones to Xu Que, and asked him to push them into it . Who else could they blame for that?
…
Over a month later, Xu Que was driving the stealth jet fighter to the eighteenth island .
During the last month, they had kept moving forward . They had harvested all the Living Holy Water and Living Holy Trees on the islands in the Upflowing Sea!
On the second island, Buttface and Duan Jiude also tried to pull out the Living Holy Tree .
Although they tried their best, they couldn't even shake the Living Holy Tree, let alone pull it out .
At last, an exasperated Buttface had bitten the Living Holy Tree, but he only created a faint scratch after losing one tooth . However, the scratch quickly disappeared in a gust of wind .
After Xu Que pulled out the Living Holy Tree with the assistance of the System, Duan Jiude and Buttface, who were dumbfounded, reluctantly admitted Xu Que was a monster .
Xu Que gained an exceptional advantage in this period .
Eighteen Living Holy Trees and eighteen lake-sized pools of Living Holy Water were better-than-expected good luck and fortune for him!
Originally, all the families and sects in the four continents were fiercely competing for two lake-sized pools of the Living Holy Water . Only the top fifty families and sects could share that Living Holy Water according to the rank .
It was a pity that everything in this year's competition had been completely ruined!
Xu Que took exclusive possession of all eighteen lake-sized pools of Living Holy Water and also pulled out all the Living Holy Trees . He had completely monopolized the supply of the Living Holy Water .
Liu Jingning only got around half a lake-sized pool of Living Holy Water from Xu Que . It was not because Xu Que was greedy, but Liu Jingning simply didn't want to take too much .
She said she didn't need too much Living Holy Water . Half a lake-sized pool was already excessive for her . She would take some with her and submit the rest to her faction to accomplish her task .
She really didn't want to take more, so Xu Que chose to keep silent .
After taking away all the Living Holy Water and the Living Holy Tree in the last island, they crossed the Upflowing Sea and headed for the third layer of the Mystery Land!
