Chapter 699 - 332: Sense of Belonging (2)

"Fairness?"

You Su sneered, not wanting to waste more words with Tong Hui.

Everyone was competing for the Sanyuan Purple Gold to exchange for inheritance. If someone used some tricks openly, You Su didn’t see a problem with it. In the face of a struggle for interests, it’s inappropriate to judge others simply as good or bad. However, Tong Hui’s hypocritical facade, wanting both opportunities and reputation, was truly off-putting to him.

Tong Hui seemed to sense You Su’s disdain, and was about to teach this low-level boy a lesson, but suddenly furrowed his brows.

They were now one-third of the way to the altar, the closest they’d ever been to the Sanyuan Purple Gold, and the others were finally catching up.

Tong Hui quickly realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Instead of waiting here for everyone to regroup, it was better to use teaching You Su a lesson as an excuse to rush the altar!

Looking at the Sanyuan Purple Gold not far away, his desire surged uncontrollably. He was confident he could reach the Sanyuan Purple Gold before anyone could aim their attacks at him!

But in the next moment, he suddenly felt something wrong and swung his hand to slash at his legs.

On his calves, two white snakes with an eerie beauty were coiling, and then a clear female voice rang out:

"Tong Hui is the first! He wants to sneak away too!"

Tong Hui’s eyes widened instantly, he looked at You Su in shock, only to see that You Su had unexpectedly used a retreat to advance. At this moment, he himself was now standing at the forefront of more than twenty people.

He was acutely aware that these people behind him weren’t risking their lives to catch up out of hatred for You Su sneaking away, but because they hated that You Su was standing at the front!

They weren’t here to kill You Su, but anyone who stood at the front!

For the first time, Tong Hui deeply felt a sense of thorns on his back. His idea of sneaking away had just barely formed and hadn’t yet been put into action. How could someone have seen through his intentions?

Someone deliberately framed him!

Tong Hui immediately understood the reason—it was to save You Su by deliberately setting him up!

He cursed loudly, but there was no time to search for the source of the voice. Not only were the people behind him closing in, but even Kui Hanyin and Long Chiyu beside him cast suspicious glances at him.

The pressure of being besieged by twenty cultivators of the same realm is harder to withstand than any oppressive aura. Tong Hui made a decisive move, leaping high and mouthed incantations, ready to strike.

His mind worked quickly, understanding that the only way to avoid the siege was to redirect the attention onto someone else!

And You Su was the best target for him to prove his innocence!

He condensed a long green spear out of Profound Qi in his palm, with a sound of splitting air, the spearhead directly pointed at You Su.

You Su never liked face-to-face combat, so he hurriedly dodged, but the spear chased closely, as if it had predicted his moves and was relentlessly pursuing him.

You Su’s eyebrows furrowed, realizing he couldn’t retreat too far due to the threat of the altar, he had no choice but to take the move head-on in a limited range.

But just as You Su prepared to block the attack with his sword, a talisman flew over, releasing powerful Gang Qi, stopping the Sky-breaking Spear in its tracks.

You Su quickly guessed who it was—Fu Heng!

Several talismans shimmered with undying light in the rain, and a figure stood in front of You Su.

Tong Hui gritted his teeth and roared in fury, "Kill the people of the Profound Sky Sect first!!"

The cultivators of the Nanyang Continent heeded his call, attacking without hesitation.

The pursuing crowd quickly fell into chaos, with tensions between different factions erupting completely. In the heavy environment, the battles between cultivators lacked the elegance of swift exchanges, replaced with intense physical clashes.

A knife wind, vast as a river, cut through the crowd—Duanmu Jin’s hegemonic blade finally unsheathed. He appeared lean, yet he was perhaps the most excited of everyone present under the current situation.

Swords have Sword Intent, knives have Knife Intent, and Duanmu Jin felt as if his whole body was burning as he touched the threshold of his own Knife Intent. This opportunity, he was determined to cross through it!

Evidently, in Tong Hui’s eyes, the threat You Su posed was far less than that of Fu Heng’s. His eyes never left Fu Heng, and his aura continued to soar.

You Su couldn’t stay under someone else’s protection, but Fu Heng didn’t seem to want to give him the chance to act. Though a Talisman Master, Fu Heng charged towards Tong Hui like an exploding soldier, with talismans adorning his whole body.

You Su was slightly startled, and was sure that Fu Heng turned back before he charged forward. Although he couldn’t see Fu Heng’s expression, Fu Heng was definitely looking at him!

In an inexplicable way, You Su felt a sense of mission being passed onto him.

In fact, the moment You Su appeared, Fu Heng understood his intention. He had been secretly observing all the Profound Sky Sect disciples’ movements. By age, he was the senior brother of all who entered the island, and he had always fulfilled his responsibilities as a senior brother after arriving.

He knew You Su could wait for a less attentive moment to act, but You Su had exposed himself early to attract attention to the Profound Sky Sect.

The Profound Sky Sect became the target of everyone’s attacks, presenting a huge threat while also uniting the sect’s members even more. Their strength shouldn’t have lagged behind Tong Hui and others for long, but the reason they delayed was to secretly confirm a consensus!

To hold everyone back together, allowing You Su to seize the Sanyuan Purple Gold!

Each person here was a renowned prodigy, with personal pride potentially outweighing collective honor, as everyone wanted to be the most dazzling one.

Only the Profound Sky Sect was different—the external threat had already united them. Leaving the inheritance in the Profound Sky Sect was all they wished for, unlike other factions composed of individuals with their own ambitions.

Listening to the roars of these Profound Sky Sect disciples, a touch of emotion swept through You Su’s heart. He was always akin to an invisible person within the Profound Sky Sect, more like a disciple of Lotus Peak, yet now he truly felt a sense of belonging to the Profound Sky Sect.

"What are you standing there for? Move!"

That familiar female voice called again. You Su turned around abruptly to see Ji Xueruo, her hair disheveled by the rain, a look of urgency in her eyes.

The earlier voice that had diverted attention from him was also Ji Xueruo’s. She had always been at the forefront of the group. Her identity with the Demon Race attracted many enemies, yet she fought and advanced, all to pave the way for You Su’s advance.

In this torrential rain, You Su, though struggling to see the outside clearly through his sunglasses, could see distinctly those wanting to help him.

He no longer hesitated, tightly gripping the Mo Song Sword in his hand, and rushed towards the Sanyuan Purple Gold within reach!
