Chapter 252 - Ch 252: Preparation Of War
The old man waved his hand. The ball of light that was floating above the head of the statue flew toward the old man's hand.
Ye Xiao, on the other hand, was standing in his place with a dumbfounded face. When he recovered, he was left speechless as he did not he should laugh or cry.
It was not like Su Xue Er was not beautiful or she was not worthy of him. No! He also started to like this girl but isn't the process of their relationship grew too fast. He only took a long breath did not say anything. He let nature run its course.
The ball of light stopped moving after arriving at the top of the old man's hand. Then with a tearing sound, the ball of light started to divide in two. The upper part of the ball of light slowly started to dissipate and just when the upper part of the ball of light was dissipated, the four holy beasts roared loudly and flew toward the sky.
After circling around for a few breaths of time, they flew toward Su Xue Er and directly entered her body one after another.
"Ahh!"
The moment they entered her body, Su Xue Er screamed loudly, fell down on the ground, and started to twitch in pain. This was the first time when she felt a pain like this. Although the old man has already warned her about the pain and she was also ready for this, she was still unable to endure the terrifying pain with her weak body and lost consciousness.
Ye Xiao was startled when saw this. He himself had endured the pain that was much more terrifying than it. He knew how much pain Su Xue Er was enduring.
"Soul Protection!"
Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice and a light flashed at the middle of his brows. Then suddenly, a thin beam of white light shot out from the middle of his brows and entered into the middle of Su Xue Er's brows.
"Soul Protection" was another soul-type ability that he got from the Divine Soul Emperor dragon that could protect one's as well as other's souls. No matter how terrifying the pain one is enduring, or how badly one is injured, as long as he cast the "Soul Protection", nothing will happen to the soul of the corresponding person.
"Hmm..."
The old man was surprised when he saw this. He looked at Ye Xiao in another light.
"You are a person with Divine Sea? How rare! Even in the upper realm, very few people could awaken their Divine Sea, but you, even though you are from the lower realm, you have already awakened your Divine Sea!" The old man said to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao only smiled but did not comment. His Divine Sea was related to the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon, so he did not want to talk on this matter.
Seeing Ye Xiao not saying anything, the old man also understood that Ye Xiao does not want to talk on this matter so he also did not ask anything further. He waved his hand a ball of light appeared around Su Xue Er. Then with her, it started to float in the air.
Suddenly, as if the old man sensed something, he said, "I can feel... you are not from the Holy Beast Continent, right?"
Ye Xiao was startled when he heard it. He took a deep breath and said, "Senior is right. Actually, I am from a different world known as the Azure Sky Continent. Something happened and I ended up sucked in a black hole which threw me in the Holy Beast Continent. Does senior know any way to go back to my world?"
The Holy Beast Continent was the Internal World of the old man. Thinking that he might know some ways to go back to the Azure Sky Continent, Ye Xiao did not hesitate and asked.
"I have been to many worlds and this Azure Sky Continent is one of them!" The old man suddenly said something which made Ye Xiao's eyes lit up.
"Then senior..."
"I know what you are trying to say but with your current strength, it is impossible for you to travel between worlds. I am currently unable to help you but after this little girl is done, I will open a portal between the two worlds for you to travel. At that time, you can go back to your world!" The old man smiled and said.
He can see Ye Xiao's potential was unmeasurable. Not only he has the cultivation at the Fifth Stage of the Martial Ancestor Realm at such a young age, but he was also someone with Divine Sea. What was more, he actually survived inside the Black Hole.
When this old man was still alive, he was already an Immortal Emperor. He knew how terrifying and chaotic the inside of a black hole could be. Even if an immortal were to suck into the Black Hole, it is almost impossible for him to ever come out.
But not only did Ye Xiao survived and came out from the black hole, but he was also standing in front of him perfectly fine. It is as if the black hold did not cause any harm to him.
If her inheritor, Su Xue Er to be with such genius, it was her inheritor's fortune. He knew one day, Ye Xiao will definitely become someone who will stand above everyone. So, he did not mind helping Ye Xiao.
But he was already dead and only an ounce of his soul was here, to open the portal between two worlds, it will consume all of his energy and the portal will still be unstable. After opening the portal, this tiny part of his soul will also dissipate but at least, Ye Xiao will manage to go back to his world and Ye Xiao being with Su Xue Er will also guarantee her safety.
In the old man's eyes, Ye Xiao's kind of person will not die young. His future was also limitless.
Ye Xiao agreed with the old man. He just has to wait one year and he can go back to his world.
Now, he started to think about the matter at hand. He planned to deal with the young sect leader of the Holy Sword Sect in his own sect. But the thing was, he does not know where the sect is located.
Looking at Ye Xiao who was deep in thought, the old man guessed what Ye Xiao was thinking and asked, "Do you want to go back to the Su Family or the Hundred Sword Sect?"
"Senior?" Ye Xiao was brought back to reality by the old man's voice.
"This world, the Holy Beast Continent is mine to begin with. Although I can not control this world anymore after separating it, I can still sense what is happening inside this world."
With that, the old man waved his hand and a screen appeared in the air out of nowhere. The screen was showing the scene of what is currently happening in the Su Family. The Su Family's elders were gathered in the hall. Everyone was present here including the ancestor of the Su Family, Su Dingfang, and his son, Su Lin.
"I have received the news that the young sect master of the Hundred Sword Sect is making his preparation. In just another two or three days, he will start his journey from the Hundred Sword Sect to our Su family with betrothal gifts. The sect master and some elders of the Hundred Sword Sect is also going to come here with him."
"Ancestor, they are prepared, if we were to refuse their proposal, they will immediately launch their attack and eradicate our Su Family. Xue Er is still not back yet, what should we do now?" The one who said this was a middle-aged man with dense eyebrows and a long beard. This was an elder of the Su Family.
"It is good that Xue Er is not here. Even if the Su Family were to be destroyed, at least Xue Er will survive. She will definitely take revenge for the Su Family. As for the Hundred Sword Sect, make preparation to fight with them."
The Ancestor of the Su Family said. He looked at Su Lin and said, "Lin'er, when the fight will breakout, you will escape with other children of our Su Family. Take them and move toward the Dragon Mountain, meet with your sister then leave the White Tiger Empire!"
Su Lin was unwilling to agree with his ancestor but seeing the current situation of the Su Family, he forcefully suppressed his emotions and nodded his head, agreeing with his ancestor.
"Good!" The ancestor of the Su family nodded his head in satisfaction. Then he turned to look at the patriarch of the Su Family and said, "Dingfang, make preparation to fight to the death. And yes, give Lin'er all the resources that our Su Family currently has. It will at least let our children not to worry about the resources to cultivate."
"Yes, ancestor!" Su Dingfang nodded his head.
