Chapter 1030: Sit Tight!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A tour bus from the Exploding Heavens Faction?

An experienced driver was driving and safety was guaranteed?

The majority of disciples from the various sects were confused and disorientated. Whether it was bus or driver, these words were new to them. Even the bus that Xu Que had created was merely a strange giant made of steel to them. But they understood his last sentence—enjoy the trip and get home happily!

They could return?

Everyone was suddenly excited and eager, and one by one, they looked at Xu Que with admiration, especially Bai Cailing and the disciples from the Leaving Leaves Sect. Their eyes were filled with hope.

After all, previously, the strength that Xu Que displayed was apparent. This guy was able to embark on unexpected activities, and he seemed to achieve success! Now, he was full of confidence, and it led Bai Cailing and the disciples from the Leaving Leaves Sect to rekindle their hope of escaping.

“Can you really take us out of here safely?” Bai Cailing inquired.

“Yes, if you want to get out of this place, please board the bus quickly. The seats are limited, first come, first served. Remember to swipe your cards!” Xu Que was ranting and he sounded serious. It seemed a bit unfathomable.

“Swipe cards?”

Everyone was shocked. What cards were they swiping?

“Yes, swipe your cards! Cards for the elderly and students can enjoy discounted bus fare, other cards can’t. I think some of you don’t even have a card? Hurry up, come here, today’s a good day; there’s a promotional price if you sign up for the card!” Xu Que immediately began to yell again.

Although they were a little confused after listening to him, they could understand his intention. This guy was using the excuse of signing up for a card to make them pay a price before boarding the bus!

“Sir, I wonder how should I sign up for a card?” At that time, an experienced leader from the Saint Gold Sect asked.

“That’s a very good question. Today, we have a grand promotion. To buy a card you only need ten bottles of Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew. You can sign up with something of equivalent value too. The elderly and students can sign up for half the price!” Xu Que waved his hand and smiled.

When they heard Xu Que’s price for the card, their eyes opened wide and they almost spat blood.

A card needed ten bottles of Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew?

That was extortion!

“Hey, hey, hey, what are these expressions. Ten bottles of Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew isn’t expensive. The card you’re signing up for is the payment for an annual bus fare; you’ll have free unlimited transport for a year!” Xu Que was in deadly earnest.

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Annual card?

Why would we want an annual card! A monthly card was already too much for us!

“Sir, can we sign up for a single trip? We’re only taking the bus once!” someone asked.

“Of course you can!” Xu Que nodded immediately and held up his finger, “The payment for a card for a single trip is 100 bottles of Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew!”

“What?” Everyone was in disbelief.

What was that nonsense? A card for a single trip was more expensive than an annual card? And a single trip cost 100 bottles of Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew?

“I mentioned earlier, there’s a discount if you sign up for a card but this discount is only available for our annual card. All the other cards won’t be discounted and are calculated according to its original price!” Xu Que answered sincerely.

Everyone was speechless and they had dark expressions on their faces; they had never seen anyone who shamelessly made a profit out of misfortune!

“Mister Tang, Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew is negotiable, if you could take me and the disciples of the Leaving Leaves Sect away from this place!” Bai Cailing spoke.

She knew very well that there was no room for discussion with such a person as Xu Que. The more they discussed it, the more expensive it would become. It would be better to just cooperate with him and leave that place as soon as possible.

“Well, Miss Cabbage is such a straightforward person. Come on, let me see. You are 40 people; I’ll charge you 400 bottles of Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew!” Xu Que smiled and signaled to Bai Cailing and the disciples from the Leaving Leaves Sect to board the bus.

When 40 people got on the bus, it was already half filled. Many of the disciples from the Leaving Leaves Sect were curiously scrutinizing everything on the bus. They were doubtful whether this steel bus, which could be smashed with one punch, could take them away safely. But recalling Xu Que’s previous performances, they had to suppress their uncertainty and choose to believe in him.

Jiang Hongyan and Buttface boarded the bus too.

“This broken vehicle is far inferior to Your Holiness’s Bentley!” As soon as Buttface boarded the bus, he had a face of disgust and flaunted the expensive car he had when he was on Earth.

“Then get off my bus. You didn’t buy a card; you had the audacity to board the bus?” Xu Que stared at him.

Buttface felt a little guilty all of a sudden, and he sat quietly on the seat, shut his eyes, and pretended to sleep.

Xu Que was too lazy to argue with Buttface. He turned his head and looked at the other sects’ disciples who were still standing outside. He smiled and said, “The last 30 seats, if you guys want to buy, please do so as soon as possible. This is the last bus. If you miss it, you can’t get out!”

“Humph, your price is tantamount to robbery. I’d rather die than surrender to your tricks!” A disciple of the Nighthawk Pavilion said arrogantly, “I don’t believe you can leave here with this torn and tattered steel.”

“Ha, ha!” Xu Que laughed and paid no attention to him. He glanced over to those from the Saint Gold Sect. The people from the Saint Gold Sect were also very tough. They straightened their backs and said, “Don’t look at us, we’ll never be fooled! Your lousy steel bus, one finger of my disciple is enough to crush it!”

“Ha, ha!” Xu Que laughed again and took a last look at the Heaven Cloud Sect.

The Heaven Cloud Sect’s disciples were made up of men and women and only consisted of 20 people. They had suffered heavy losses, but their gains were pretty good also. Their Sect Elder was hesitant; he seemed to be thinking about whether the transport was worthy of its cost.

He felt Xu Que’s glance, and the Heaven Cloud Sect’s Sect Elder finally raised his head and said, “Sir, we don’t have so much Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew, but we can replace it with this thing. What do you think?”

He reached into his clothing and took out a jade box which was the size of a palm. When he opened the box, there was a colorful seed exuding a strong Wood Element Spiritual Qi!

“Huh?” Bai Cailing immediately opened her eyes, studied the seed, and exclaimed, “Such a strong Celestial Core Power!”

“Hey, what’s this?” Xu Que asked; he was highly interested in the seed.

The Sect Elder of the Heaven Cloud Sect shook his head slightly, revealing a polite bitter smile, “Sir, this is what we got from the Refined Moon Palace. I don’t know what it is, but I know it is extraordinary just by looking at it.”

“Yes, no problem! This seed will be the bus fare for the Heaven Cloud Sect. Come on, get on the bus!” Xu Que immediately secured the deal. Anyway, they were merely taking people out. It was certainly not a loss to earn an extra seed!

The Sect Elder of the Heaven Cloud Sect was delighted at his response; he gave Xu Que the box and brought his 20 disciples onto the bus.

Click!

Almost at the same time, Xu Que pressed the button to close the bus door. He laughed at the crowd from the Saint Gold Sect and the Nighthawk Pavilion and shouted, “Come on, give way, give way, we are leaving!” With that, he started the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and the bus went straight ahead.

The people from the Saint Gold Sect and the Nighthawk Pavilion stayed where they were, frowning and gazing at the bus as it slowly drove along the passageway.

“He’s such a shameless person!”

“The Heaven Cloud Sect and the Leaving Leaves Sect were so dumb to believe a young chap like him.”

“Let them be! They paid such a high price to board the bus but what’s the use? This is the territory of the Refined Moon Sect.”

“The so-called bus they had boarded might just be the road to destruction!”

“Then what should we do now?”

“He, he, we can follow behind them. If there’s a chance to get out, we can dash out. If there isn’t a chance to leave, we can retreat faster than them!”

“Good, that’s a really good plan!”

The plan proposed was accepted by everyone. Hence, a group of people stepped onto the passageway, following closely behind the bus.

.....

At the same time, inside the bus, Xu Que touched his steering wheel, looked up slightly, glanced at the rearview mirror, and smiled, “People like you want to take advantage of me? Impossible!”

“Everyone, sit tight, Ghostly Drifting begins!”

As he ended his sentence, Xu Que stepped on the accelerator, the tail pipe roared instantly, and a pungent black exhaust smoke was emitted. The car set off at a blistering pace and bolted straight ahead.
