Although Xu Que was standing outside the restrictive spell, after throwing Buttface inside he put most of his Soul Strength into his Taoist Body.
Once Buttface was endangered, he would ask the Taoist Body to take him out immediately!
"Heh-heh, don't worry, this restrictive spell won't kill people!" Duan Jiude said with a proud smile after noticing Xu Que's expression change.
When the Mighty Sect had been in great danger, all the members of the sect, including the apprentices, pets, and even the Peak Lords and Elders, tried to enter the treasure vault. They tried to find out if there was a descendant of the Kylin Patriarch among them who could enter to find the precious items. These would have been able to assist the Might Sect in turning around their desperate situation.
However, none of them managed to enter the treasure vault. All of them were blackened by the lightning stroke before being driven out by the restrictive spells. Although the situation was chaotic, none of them had been killed by the restrictive spells.
Apparently, the restrictive spells were nonfatal.
"Just because it won't kill people," Xu Que said helplessly, "it doesn't mean that it won't kill dogs!" He shrugged.
"Damn! Young man, are you nuts? I mean the restrictive spells won't kill any living creatures!" Duan Jiude spat.
"Calm down! Actually, I am inclined to believe Buttface is the Patriarch of your Mighty Sect!" Xu Que said with a smile.
Duan Jiude's face darkened and he was about to curse him.
Rumble!
Just at this moment, a large noise came from the ruins and interrupted their conversation. They turned to the source of the noise and found countless crushed stones and dirt on the ground flying up slowly to restore the original appearance of the buildings bit by bit as if time was flowing backward.
The barrier of the entire restrictive spell became dazzling. It seemed something abnormal was happening.
Duan Jiude's jaw dropped. "How could this be?"
Xu Que also became quite serious but he said nothing.
After all, he had believed the possibility of Buttface entering the treasure vault was very high, for it was highly possible that Buttface was the Kylin Patriarch.
Now the restrictive spells of the treasure vault weren't stopping Buttface. On the contrary, something miraculous was happening in it, which could prove Buttface was really the Kylin Patriarch of the Mighty Sect.
Howl!
At this time, Buttface's howl came in from the ruins—it sounded quite content.
"I feel I am in the Heaven! I am full of power!" Buttface shouted excitedly.
The original appearance of the buildings had almost been restored, and an enormous stone arch door was looming in front of them. The dazzling barrier of the restrictive spells was dimming as if its power was being sucked out.
Rumble!
The next moment, the restrictive spells exploded in a blast of powerful energy and the magnificent momentum of the blast swept out.
The buildings, which were nearly restored, crumbled again. The destruction of the place was even more absolute now. The broken stones had been crushed to powder and vanished.
The broken stones and the restrictive spells disappeared at the same time. A giant pit appeared in the ground, which was a passage with stairs leading to the underground area.
"Holy sh*t! This is so refreshing and pleasant!" Buttface's excited voice came from underground again.
Duan Jiude shouted, "Little dog, don't touch what belongs to the Kylin Patriarch!"
After saying that, Duan Jiude turned himself into a black shadow and dashed towards the underground area.
"What the . . . " Liu Jingning, who was standing beside Xu Que, was shocked by Duan Jiude's move after coming to herself.
"It seems Buttface was not bragging. His reincarnation story is real!" Xu Que said with a wry smile.
He was quite sure that Buttface could really be the descendent of the Ancient Magic Dragon, who needed many reincarnations to finish his transformation.
"But how could this be possible?" she asked in confusion. "If he is the Kylin Patriarch, his strength must be extraordinary. I guess he should at least be able to reach the Great Vehicle Stage, which is one step away from becoming immortal! Why does he need to reincarnate?"
"I don't know why either. Even Buttface has forgotten that. I guess he is not naturally intelligent. Forget it, let's go down and have a look—maybe he has remembered something!" Xu Que stepped toward the entrance of the treasure vault.
Liu Jingning also stepped forward, closely following Xu Que without asking more questions.
However, when they reached the entrance and were about to descend, an exclamation came from the bottom.
"The . . . Kylin Patriarch? Holy sh*t! How could this be?" Duan Jiude's terrified voice, which was a little bit distorted, floated up to them.
"Hmph! Why don't you kowtow to me after seeing me?" a deafening voice came from the bottom.
"No! Little dog, what did you do? Why are you pretending to be the Kylin Patriarch?"
"Watch your mouth! As an apprentice of the Mighty Sect, how dare you disrespect me? Are you going to dishonor your Master and ruin your Patriarch?"
"Little dog, stop pretending! Our Kylin Patriarch will never be as wretched as you! According to the description in the ancient books, the Kylin Patriarch was majestic, extraordinary, and invincible. He could never look like you! What did you do?"
"Hmph! How dare you doubt my identity!"
"Damn! I'm out! I don't care whether you are the Kylin Patriarch or not. I was kicked out of the Mighty Sect! I am no longer their apprentice, so why should I obey you?"
After that, the sound of wind came from the passage. Duan Jiude appeared ready to dash out.
Xu Que made eye contact with Liu Jingning. Then, they went downstairs and tried to stop Duan Jiude.
However, he didn't slow down a bit. He passed through the gap between Xu Que and Liu Jingning as he walked forward angrily with his hands behind his back. A moment later, he appeared on the ground surface.
His rapid bodily movement proved his extraordinary strength.
But what happened down there that terrified Duan Jiude?
Has Buttface really become the Kylin Patriarch?
Xu Que saw Duan Jiude was in a bad mood, so he didn't want to waste his time asking questions. He went downstairs with his Taoist Body and Liu Jingning.
After reaching the bottom, they found a spacious underground palace.
At the center of the underground palace, a ferocious monster that looked like the combination of a tiger and a lion was gobbling up elixirs on the ground.
Holy sh*t!
Xu Que's eyes widened.
According to its eating posture, that was definitely Buttface! But his appearance was incredibly different! Did he evolve after entering here?
Almost at the same time, the monster also saw Xu Que. His eyes lit up and it stood abruptly. Then, he puffed out his chest and angrily shouted, "Who are you? How dare the two ants trespass in my underground palace?"
"Buttface!" Xu Que said.
"Watch your mouth! I am the Kylin Patriarch! There is no Buttface here!" the monster yelled.
Xu Que smiled as he shook his head. "Buttface, stop pretending! You are really bad at acting! You didn't even remove the collar from your neck! How could you pretend to be a monster?"
The monster was stunned a bit. Then, he rolled his eyes and shouted furiously, "Who did that? Who put the collar on my neck? Come here and duel me!"
Xu Que sighed and shook his head in disappointment. "Buttface, you've changed, you've really changed! How could the majestic and invincible Buttface become a cowardly dog?"
Buttface was stunned and dumbfounded for a while.
After that, he smiled stupidly. "Awesome! Little brat, what did you say just now? 'The majestic and invincible Buttface,' right? Say it again please!"
"Stop your nonsense! Taoist Body, beat him up!" Xu Que waved his hand as his Taoist Body turned into a black shadow and dashed toward Buttface.
