Ultimate Scheming System

“We can’t go there?”

Hearing that, the others turned to Lan Xinyue in surprise.

Buttface jumped up and shouted, “Why can’t we go there? Are you jealous of my magnificent strength?”

“Miss Lan, is there anything weird there?” Xu Que said as he pushed Buttface away. Lan Xinyue had been to this Mystery Land before. So her words must be based on some facts.

Lan Xinyue nodded her head, “We can go anywhere in this Mystery Land except that plain. It is always covered by clouds and mists. Those who try to step into it were melted by the clouds and mists. And I saw that with my own eyes!”

“Eh…you mean those clouds and mists could eat people, right?” Xu Que looked at that plain curiously. It seemed that plain was quite ordinary.

At this time, Qin Sanli broke in, “What Miss. Lan said is correct! That plain is the forbidden place in this Mystery Land. Whenever this Mystery Land was open, some people have always tried to enter it for they thought the inheritance of the God of Hell was in it. However, almost nobody could leave that place safely!”

“Almost? It means someone left it safely, right?” Xu Que asked immediately.

Qin Sanli nodded his head, “Right! The clouds and mists are illusions actually. The most dangerous place is that plain, which is a big sacrificial spell Array! Even the grasses on it are part of the Array. All the people who enter it will be killed as sacrifices! Some who were protected by some Celestial Artifacts used to search this place and get out of it safely. But they found nothing in it. Actually, that place is empty!”

“Celestial Artifacts? Hah! What a coincidence! I do have some of them!” Xu Que said with a smile. He had a lot of Celestial Artifacts in the System package, including some protective equipment that could be used to protect him from the attack of that Array.

“But it is just an empty Array! Why do you want to take the risk?” Qin Sanli shook his head ,for the inheritance of the God of Hell would have been taken away by others. Xu Que would find nothing in it!

Buttface retorted immediately, “You know nothing! How could the inheritance be obtained by others so easily? I am sure the inheritance is under this Array!”

“So, we have to dig a hole in this Array, right?” Xu Que said, frowning, for it was quite troublesome!

“Exactly! Those people only walked around on the plain. They didn’t know the inheritance is under the Array! Little brat, hurry up! You should start to dig the hole now!” Buttface said confidently.

Qin Sanli rolled his eyes, “Who told you nobody dug holes in it before? They even used Celestial Artifacts in this area. How could they miss the underground area? At that time, they dug up the entire area. However, the ground and Array are restored hourly.

“I guess their way of digging was incorrect!” Buttface replied overbearingly.

“It seems Buttface really knows a lot! Tell us how should we dig that hole?” Duan Jiude asked at this time.

Buttface was stumped immediately for he was only good at bluffing.

“Eh…although I don’t know how to dig the hole, I know a man who is pretty good at digging holes in the R Nation on Earth! His name is Taka Kato and his nickname is Gold Finger!”

“Gold Finger? A man who digs hole with his fingers?” Duan Jiude was totally shocked.

“Exactly! I even planned to learn some skills from him. However, my schedule was too tight, and I forgot to do that at last!” Buttface nodded his head.

“That’s enough!” Xu Que interrupted the meaningless conversation between Buttface and Duan Jiude. Then he looked at the plain and said seriously, “If I am not wrong, we can’t dig this Array forcibly. Maybe we can go to the underground area after breaking this Array!” He didn’t have any feelings about it before. Now, when he stared at that plain, he got a vague sense of familiarity. It seemed as if it was resonating with the God of Hell’s Compulsion in his body! Now, he felt the urge to go into that place.

“Little brat, how will you break the Array?” Buttface asked curiously.

Xu Que shook his head. “Let’s go and have a look first!”

Then he walked toward that plain. He got a feeling that this Array was also related to his God of Hell’s Compulsion.

“My fellow cultivator, are…you really going to go there?” Lan Xinyue asked hesitantly. Although she knew Xu Que was quite powerful, this plain had killed too many people. She had even witnessed the death of some people in it, which freaked her out.

“Don’t worry! I’ll just check it in the peripheral area!” Xu Que said with a smile. Then he dashed forward, stepping on lightning.

…..

After a short while, Xu Que had landed in the peripheral area of the plain. He didn’t walk into those clouds and mists directly.

Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the rest also came over following Xu Que. Standing outside this weird plain, they were able to see it clearly at last. All the grasses were at the same height and were growing along a certain curvature neatly. People who suffered from the obsessive-compulsive disorder would have a pretty good feeling after seeing those grasses.

“What? It seems this layout is related to the Five Elements!” Qin Sanli murmured, for he had figured out something.

Xu Que nodded his head, “Exactly! The Array in this plain is round when it is seen from here. But it is divided into five parts, which stand for the Five Elements. The central area, which is covered by clouds and mists, is still unclear. Maybe the key to break this Array is in that place!”

“Little brat, do you want to go in there and check it?” Buttface urged again.

Whoosh!

Xu Que said nothing but took out a bronze sheet which was as large as his palm.

Qin Sanli, who knew the item, said in surprise, “The Bronze Armor Metal Piece? It is an Inferior Celestial Artifact!”

“Heh, heh, I found it at the edge of the Waste Realm!” Xu Que said, nodding his head with a smile. He had obtained it from those who he killed in the Waste Realm. Many of them had Inferior Celestial Artifacts. However, they didn’t have the opportunity to use them before getting killed. So, all their belongings became Xu Que’s trophies! This bronze sheet was one of those trophies. As an Inferior Celestial Artifact, it could be activated by injecting Celestial Core Power into it. Then it would become bronze armor which could protect the user effectively.

“Holy sh*t! What should we do?” Seeing that, Duan Jiude asked enviously.

Xu Que shook his head and said, “You just wait here. Buttface and I will go into this place and check it out!”

Although he still had other defensive Inferior Celestial Artifacts, Duan Jiude and Lan Xinyue were just at the Human Celestial Stage, and were not able to use Inferior Celestial Artifacts effectively or use the Inferior Celestial Artifact for a long time. Xu Que didn’t worry about Buttface at all. His physique was extremely strong, even stronger than the Inferior Celestial Artifacts. So Buttface wouldn’t be endangered in the Array.

Buttface jumped back immediately, “Holy sh*t! Little brat, you can go in there alone! Why do you want me to go with you? I won’t do that! You can break the Array first. Then I can go there and have a look with you!”

“Coward! What are you scared of?” Xu Que said with embarrassment. After so many years, Buttface’s cowardness had never changed.

“Humph! Don’t try to goad me! I said I won’t go there! This is the principle and dignity of a wolf!” Buttface said proudly.

Principle? Dignity?

Xu Que was amused and said, shaking his head, “Buttface, do you want some Smelly Tofu?”

“Holy sh*t! I just want to know how powerful that Array is! Little brat, let’s go!” Buttface shook his body and shouted proudly as he walked forward.

While Qin Sanli and the others looked at them seriously, Xu Que, who was wrapped in a green bronze armor, dashed toward the center of the plain with Buttface. They disappeared in the clouds and mists immediately. However, they were not influenced by those clouds and mists at all. Xu Que was quite surprised. He believed those clouds and mists wouldn’t have caused any damage to him even without that bronze armor. To ensure safety, Xu Que didn’t take off his armor though. They continued to dash forward.

Soon, Xu Que and Buttface landed at the center of the plain. The clouds and mists were flying above their heads. Under their feet, the ground was very smooth and didn’t have any grass on it. However, the grains of sand were flowing slowly on the ground like a sand river.

“Wait, something is wrong…” Xu Que shouted in surprise suddenly. The God of Hell’s Compulsion was running strong in his body. His Celestial Core Power, which was divided according to the rules of the Five Elements, started to flow rapidly into his meridians.

The next moment, the sand grains on the ground also started to flow rapidly. Xu Que was sinking into the sand slowly.
