Ultimate Scheming System

"What’s he doing?"

Everyone around were thrown into confusion and were filled with shock.

Many of the commoners and cultivators around had stopped worrying about the lock down placed by the Fire Emperor and left their houses as they started surrounding the Imperial Palace.

Once again, a huge group of people appeared around the palace.

As for Xu Que who had counted down from ten to one just like that, everyone was at a loss for words.

He just said "ten" followed by "one". That means he didn’t even want to give the Fire Emperor a chance to come out.

Yet everyone also knew that even if Xu Que had counted properly, the Fire Emperor would never agree on leaving the Imperial Palace. Since he had already forsaken his pride and dignity by fleeing into the palace, why would he ever come out just because Xu Que was threatening him?

"But, what are dancing songs?"

"That’s right. I’ve never heard of dancing songs before. He could even use songs as a threat?"

"Most Dazzling Folk Style? I don’t like the sound of it..."

"Scary... Could it be a skill used by the disciples of Heavenly Explosion Faction?"

"Heavenly Explosion Faction is truly amazing!"

...

The crowd were all speaking in hushed tones. Although they’re all whispering, they were many. Hence, the area outside the Imperial Palace resembled a wet market with all the noise.

Up in the skies, the Water Empress was smiling radiantly while watching over Xu Que.

She was extremely intrigued and she truly wondered about the background of this young man.

He clearly knew that the Tian Sha Assassins had surrounded him and even their elder who was a notoriously powerful assassin, Killer God and an Infant Transformation level eight cultivator, was around. However, he didn’t seem the least fazed by it.

At the same time, Xu Que gripped onto the Spirit Prison Pagoda tightly, dragging the eighteen spirits with him everywhere he went as he soared high up into the air above the palace.

Soon after, five white and splendid fingers could be seen way up high in the skies as it descended down upon the electric keyboard.

"Deng deng deng deng..."

At once, the sounds of various electrical instruments rang out in the skies as a happy and upbeat tune started playing.

Everyone could feel their scalps turning numb as goosebumps started to appear across their bodies.

Some of the cultivators who were of lower levels could feel themselves swaying and dancing to the beat of the music.

As soon as the instrument started playing, Xu Que opened his mouth wide and started singing loudly!

"The boundless horizon is my love.

At the foot of the green mountain, flowers are in blossom,

What kind of rhythm causes the most swaying,

What kind of singing sounds the most pleasant..."

His loud and coarse voice rang out through the entire palace and reverberated across the lands.

Everyone around who watched were stumped.

"Fuck me. What... What’s this tune?"

"It sounds so scary. I almost couldn’t control myself and started dancing."

"He must be a Musician!"

"Heavens! Why is this kid so proficient in everything? Forget the fact that he’s already so powerful! Now, he’s even proven himself to be a high level Musician?"

"Indeed. Based on the way he’s playing the qin and how he sings, he’s of a higher Musician level than Li Bai!"

The expressions of the crowd froze on their faces as they looked at Xu Que and were filled with shock.

It was extremely hard for them to imagine how someone could have such a diverse range of talent and he was so good in each of these talents. Even for someone who was a genius, it would be hard for him to ever compare to Xu Que.

The Water Empress was the most shocked among them all. She was aware of Xu Que’s identity, having met his alter ego Hua Wu Que some time ago. Back then, this Hua Wu Que managed to create the mysterious smelly tofu which would help to increase a person’s soul strength. He even cooked the delicious tasting chicken wings. Now that she recalled these incidents, it was hard to unify these impressions.

She then realized that not only was this kid skilled in cooking, he was powerful and could even sing and play musical instruments!

"In this world... can anyone be more talented than him?"

The Water Empress had been impressed twice in her life by another person and both these incidents were of the same person!

"The winding river comes from the sky,

And flows to the colorful sea,

Thrilling songs fulfill our expectations,

Walking and singing at leisure all the way,

We sing and enjoy it to the fullest..."

Xu Que shouted out loudly as he shook the Spirit Prison Pagoda in his hands.

"Kuang dang dang dang..."

The eighteen chains attached to the pagoda shook violently, letting out a vibrating sound.

The spirits of these eighteen Fire Emperors were also dancing and moving to the beat at a frenzied pace.

Each one of them had been revered and widely feared throughout their days as the monarch. Everyone within the five nations had nothing but respect for these Emperors!

The crowd were already dumbstruck by this sight. Void Refining Stage, Form Synthesis Stage... If anyone were of these cultivation levels now, they would be able to rule all the five nations by themselves!

And now, eighteen of the strongest cultivators of all time, who had been widely feared and revered, were being chained by someone. In fact, they were chained up and dancing to the monstrous beat which he played. Now, they resembled clowns who were flailing their hands and legs to the music. If word leaked out, nobody would ever believe this.

"Deng deng deng deng deng..."

At this point, Xu Que increased the tempo of the melody, causing the movements of the spirits to increase in speed as well. Their hands and legs were flailing in a frenzy!

These dance movements were too contagious.

This evil tune could force its way into your head and brainwash a person!

There’s no need to even mention the effects of being a Four Star Musician on the audience. When Xu Que started singing, the cultivators whose levels were lower couldn’t even defend themselves against it!

Several cultivators who were of the Golden Core Stage seemed to have been infected by this music and lost control of their soul strength. Before long, they found themselves dancing to the music.

Outside the Imperial Palace, everything was thrown into a mess.

Right at this point, there was a pause in the melody of the tune. What used to be a fast paced and upbeat melody became silence.

At the same time, a microphone appeared in Xu Que’s hands as he shouted out loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, young and old, everyone listen up! Those in front of me, follow along the beat and raise your hands. My friends over by the Great Lake, let’s do this together. One, two, move your hands and legs, summer is fast passing and we shall move till we can’t breathe..."

At this point, all the cultivators who were lower than the Original Infant Stage were waving their hands and stomping their feets, moving along to the beat of the new melody.

They seemed to have no control over their bodies whatsoever as they danced and swayed to the beat. Everyone was moving in coordinated fashion as though they were all doing a synchronized dance together.

Even several Original Infant Staged Imperial Guards couldn’t help but start to dance as well. They felt like they had to dance. If not, they would feel extremely uncomfortable.

Their brains were filled with the sinister sounding music as they looked at Xu Que, who shot them a look of satisfaction and indignation.

Looking at this scene before him, Xu Que was extremely satisfied and consoled.

This was all possible because of the song the Most Dazzling Folk Style! Everywhere I take this song, crazy things begin to happen. I might even consider using this song as the hymn for the Heavenly Explosion Faction.

With so many people down below dancing, Xu Que started singing louder, extremely proud of his accomplishments!

"You are the most beautiful cloud in my heart, filling wine in order to make you stay with me!"

Everyone shouted out, "Stay with me!"

"You are the most beautiful cloud in my heart, filling wine in order to make you stay with me!"

"Stay with me!"

"Melodiously singing the most dazzling folk song, let the love sweep all the dust away..."

As the song continued ringing out, the entire group of people seemed to have been riled up by the music as they danced in a frenzy.

The Water Empress floated high in the air as she watched Xu Que and a smile had formed across her face.

At the same time, everything within the palace was in complete silence!
