“Sorry! We can’t give the Nether Black Flame Spear to you!”

　　“This is a heirloom of my family! How can a little boy use a magical weapon of five- stars class?”

　　“Besides, the Nether Black Flame Spear is twice as tall as him. I don’t think he can even lift it!”

　　The Gong Family was about to go mad, but no one helped them to stop Xu Que.

　　“Dear brother-in-law, I can’t lift it. Why don’t you help me lift it?” Jiang Taixu said to Xu Que.

　　“Sure!” Xu Que reached out his hand and the next minute the spear fell right into it.

　　Instantly, he could feel a magnificent energy running through his body.

　　“What a good spear!” Xu Que was impressed.

　　Although there were already many valuable magical weapons in the System’s market, the Nether Black Flame Spear still overshadowed many of them.

　　“…”

　　The Gong Family was completely speechless, and their faces were all twisted in rage and sorrow. The Patriarchs of the Gong Family were all feeling extremely sad.

　　We have suffered great loss this time! Very great loss! Even the magical weapon of our greatest ancestor has been taken away from us. If anyone else knows about it, we will definitely become social pariahs. But we can do nothing to change it! He is so powerful, and we can simply do nothing about it.

　　“Never mind!”

　　The Patriarchs of the Gong Family shook their heads, trying to comfort the rest of the cultivators of the Gong Family.

　　I should not have offended this young man in the first place.

　　…

　　“Taixu, Linlin, if there are any other objects you like, feel free to take them!” Xu Que said again.

　　Hearing this, all the cultivators of the Gong Family were stunned and sat on the ground.

　　“Dear brother-in-law, we are good now!” Taixu and Linlin responded.

　　The Gong Family was relieved.

　　The two little children are really cute, just like Xu Que said just now.

　　“Thank god, we only lost two magical weapons. Though it is heartbreaking, still, it is acceptable.”

　　“Compared with the ruin of the entire Jiang Family, losing two valuable heirlooms is not a big deal!”

　　“Blimey! We are still alive!”

　　“We owe those two little children a lot!”

　　The Patriarchs of the Gong Family looked at each other, sending voice messages to each other.

　　“You two really don’t want anything more?!” Xu Que asked the two little children again.

　　Hearing this, the Gong Family stared at the two children anxiously.

　　Don’t listen to him! You two are very cute kids, and cute kids should stick to their words!

　　“Yes! We want no more.” The two little children shook their heads together.

　　The Gong Family smiled.

　　How wonderful the children are!

　　“Fine!” Xu Que nodded and then turned to the Gong Family, “They have said they want no more. Wrap up everything that’s left, I want them! By the way, I don’t want any needles or thread. Don’t put any needles or thread into the bag, otherwise I would get cross with you!”

　　Wrap them up?! Don’t bring any needles or thread?

　　Screw you!

　　The entire Gong Family sat frozen, and there was complete silence in the conference hall.

　　…

　　At last, the treasure house was completely empty, and the Gong Family was totally shocked. Just as Xu Que had said, he did not take a needle or a thread away.

　　“I am a man who always sticks to his word. Since I have said I would not take a needle or a thread from you, I will not do that! My principle is being honest, pursuing the virtues, and making the world a place full of love,” Xu Que said and left with Jiang Hongyan and the two little children.

　　Seeing the empty treasure house, inside which there was only a silver needle left on the ground, the Gong Family cried.

　　We have suffered a great loss! Screw the “not taking a needle or a thread from us”! Screw the “being honest and pursuing virtues and making the world a place full of love”!

　　“Our treasure house overshadowed all the other treasure houses in the entire Four Continents. Now Xu Que has destroyed it!” A Patriarch was so angry that his chest began to ache, and he put his hand against his chest and shouted.

　　Another Patriarch also shouted with anger, “From today on, in the Gong Family, if anyone dares to offend Xu Que, I will personally destroy his cultivation!”

　　…

　　On the same day, the treasure house of the Bai Family was also looted.

　　Since that day, both the Gong Family and the Bai Family lost more than half of their fortune and control over the East Continent, as well as the title of the “tyrants of the East Continent”.

　　When they heard the news that the Jiang Family was wiped out and the cultivators from the other side were caught alive by Xu Que, their anger quickly faded away and they even considered themselves lucky. They knew that if they hadn’t allowed Xu Que to loot their treasure houses, they would also have been wiped out.

　　Even if the Jiang Family was not killed by Xu Que, they knew that if they ever dared to contradict Xu Que, they would be treated in a much, much crueler way. In their view, Xu Que was no longer a human, but a Demogorgon.

　　…

　　Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain where the Utopia Faction was located, countless cultivators, including cultivators from the Gong Family and the Bai Family, were standing. Each of them had brought lots of gifts.

　　“Suzerain Mo, please allow us to see you!”

　　“We come with great sincerity and hope you can speak some good for us in front of Xu Que, so we can join his Faction!”

　　“Holy Virgin Liu, you are such a brilliant Holy Virgin, could you please allow us to join the Exploding Heavens Faction?!”

　　They were all shouting at the foot of the mountain, and it was so loud that the sound was echoing across the mountain.

　　The Utopia Faction immediately held a meeting. All the Sect Elders were asking the Suzerain to accept the cultivators’ requests.

　　“Suzerain! This is a great opportunity for us to make our Faction the greatest one! I have seen the gifts they have brought: tens of millions of Spiritual Stones, many magical weapons of seven-stars class, and even some Spiritual Artifacts!”

　　“Yes! We should accept the gifts. All we have to do is to say some good words about them in front of Xu Que. As for if Xu Que would take them as members of his Faction, that is none of our business!”

　　“I know it is not something that a dignified man should do, but for the bright future of the Utopia Faction, I think it is worth a try!”

　　…

　　“Shut up!”

　　The Suzerain smashed his fist down on his chair and scolded, “If I do as you have suggested, how can I face our ancestors?!”

　　Hearing this, everyone present felt ashamed and lowered their heads.

　　The Suzerain is right! If we really accept their gifts, we have to seriously answer their requests. Otherwise, we are destroying our reputation that was established by our ancestors.

　　“Come! Spread out my order!”

　　“Open the Protection Array and let everyone in. Accept their gifts and delicately wrap them up. Then pack them up and send them to Xu Que and tell him that we give them to him to express our gratitude and our hope of joining the Exploding Heavens Faction!”

　　…

　　At that same time, Buttface and Duan Jiude appeared on the street. They were proudly walking and shouting, “I am the vice-head of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Without my consent, no one can join the Exploding Heavens Faction! To show me your sincerity, you need to give me a treasure or some delicious food or tell me the location of your ancestors’ tombs!”

　　“I was the only disciple of Zixia Fairy of the Mighty Sect. Now I am the Sect Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction. My dearest fellows of the Exploding Heavens Faction, do come to meet me and have a cup of tea with me!”

　　…

　　All of a sudden, almost everyone in the East Continent was crazy about joining the Exploding Heavens Faction.

　　Xu Que had now become the most powerful figure across the entire Four Great Continents, and everyone wanted to join the Exploding Heavens Faction so no one could bully them. They all thought that they could do anything they wanted once they became members of the Exploding Heavens Faction. However, after a few days, bad news broke out from the North Sea. It overshadowed all the cultivators’ enthusiasm about joining the Exploding Heavens Faction.
