Chapter 1079 – Wang Que’s Whereabouts

Ye Luo and Wang Zhuofu had no time to dodge.𝑖𝘦.𝑐𝘰𝘮

It was to the point that when they sensed the imminent, lethal threat, it was too late to even block!

For one thing, it was far too unexpected. They’d been focused on the battle within the world of the chessboard; they weren’t paying attention to their surroundings at all.

For another, the three elders were already right beside them!

This is bad! Ye Luo and Wang Zhuofu’s hearts sank.

But it was at this critical juncture that a war saber appeared in front of them, as if it had precognition, and blocked the three Wang Family old-timers’ joint attack.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shaking blast rang out.

When they saw that their ambush had failed, their expressions changed dramatically, and they retreated explosively.

Wang Zhuofu and Ye Luo broke out in cold sweats.

It was then that they saw clearly who’d saved them. It was the Dark Mountain Yao Emperor who’d swung his saber and forced their enemies back!

Within the world in the chessboard, Su Yi watched coldly, then retracted his gaze.

An ambush like that really could catch someone off guard. By striking at just the right time, they could really turn the situation around.

Unfortunately for them, they’d failed.

It wasn’t that Su Yi was precognizant, but that Red Pine and Dark Mountain had pretended to cooperate with their enemies, and they’d learned some of Pi Mo’s plans.

For instance, earlier, Su Yi had the Dark Mountain Yao Emperor take the Blue Ox Yao Emperor and leave the world of the chessboard early for the express purpose of guarding against any unexpected behavior from the three Wang Family elders.

Now, it paid off. The Dark Mountain Yao Emperor had ruined their ambush right in the nick of time!

“Capture them,” ordered Su Yi.

“Got it!” Ye Luo’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Wang Zhuofu’s expression was incomparably unsightly, and he was overcome with rage. Even if you’d hit him over the head, he would never have guessed that his three clansmen would serve as their enemies’ weapons!

Without the slightest hesitation, he joined Ye Luo and the Dark Mountain Yao Emperor and charged the three old-timers.

“Retreat!” The three of them didn’t hesitate to flee, but before they got far, the Blue Ox Yao Emperor blocked their path.

“Blue Ox, what are you doing?” one of them shouted, frantic with anger.

The Blue Ox Yao Emperor said menacingly, “If you escape, I’m doomed! But I keep you here, His Excellency Su might well give me another chance at life!”

Boom!

He attacked directly, his aura terrifying. It seemed he was ready to fight with reckless abandon.

Meanwhile, Ye Luo and the others caught up from behind and surrounded the three Wang Family elders on all sides.

The whole clash seemed ridiculous and unreasonable.

The three Wang Family elders had betrayed them, launching a sudden attack on Ye Luo and Wang Zhuofu, only for the Dark Mountain Yao Emperor to block them.

Even more unexpectedly, the captive Blue Ox Yao Emperor didn’t hesitate to block their escape route!

“Red Pine, you really deserve to die!”

Beneath the dome of heaven, Elder Yin’s voice boomed, and his face was ashen.

Had the three Wang Family old-timers captured Ye Luo and Wang Zhuofu, they could have used them as hostages to turn the situation around.

Alas, the Dark Mountain Yao Emperor had ruined their plans.

And it seemed to Elder Yin that today’s operation had failed because of the Red Pine Yao Emperor!

“With His Excellency Su here, you’d have suffered a crushing defeat with or without me,” laughed the Red Pine Yao Emperor.

Elder Yin snorted coldly. He obviously didn’t believe it.𝑖𝘦.𝑐𝘰𝘮

It was then that a clear, ethereal sword hum rang out.

Su Yi appeared out of nowhere, swung his sword, and attacked.

Elder Yin’s pupils constricted, and his four-foot bronze paintbrush burst with divine radiance, breaking free of the Red Pine Yao Emperor’s restraints. Then, he swung it through the air.

Boom!

A waterfall of firelight poured from the tip of the brush, unleashing the heaven-shaking power of the Laws of Spirit Nirvana.

This was completely different from the Laws of Spirit Nirvana that Garuda had borrowed earlier, as this was the product of Elder Yin’s own comprehension and mastery. Its power was naturally extraordinary.

If that weren’t the case, with his late-stage Profound Serenity Realm cultivation, he couldn’t possibly have fought the early-stage Profound Unity Realm Yao Emperor Red Pine all this time.

However—

This power capable of clashing with the strength of the Profound Unity Realm shattered like paper mache beneath Su Yi’s slash.

Elder Yin’s expression shifted dramatically, and his eyes bulged. He almost didn’t dare believe what he was seeing.

He suddenly realized that Su Yi couldn’t just contend with the Laws of Spirit Nirvana. His power of the Grand Dao actually countered the Laws of Spirit Nirvana.

But before he could give the matter any further thought, Su Yi swung his sword and attacked once more.

He crushed all of Elder Yin’s secret arts and Daoist magic with ease. No matter how Elder Yin struggled, it was to no avail. His injuries simply piled on, and before long, he was riddled with wounds and bleeding non-stop.

Beads of cold sweat formed on the Red Pine Yao Emperor’s forehead. Su Yi’s tyrannical display of power had shocked him.

After all, when he’d fought Elder Yin earlier, he’d given it everything he had, but he still hadn’t been able to suppress this old-timer from the Studio of the Heart.

Who’d have thought that Su Yi would take him down as if he were a clay chicken or porcelain dog? Elder Yin couldn’t even fight back!

When the Red Pine Yao Emperor compared himself to Su Yi, how could he not be shocked?

Suddenly, Elder Yin realized something, and he shrieked, “I get it now! You were the one who killed Feng Ji and Fei Yun at Profound Sky Academy!!”

His face filled it with indescribable terror and alarm.

Because in the Studio of the Heart, his cultivation base was merely comparable to Fei Yun’s!

Su Yi ignored him. He raised Moonlit Shadow, then slammed it into his opponent’s bronze paintbrush.

The edge of his sword shifted, and the flat of the blade slammed into Elder Yin.

Bang!

Elder Yin fell from the sky like a meteor, slamming into the ground and stirring up a cloud of dust.

But before he could react, Su Yi grabbed him by the throat and sealed his cultivation base completely.

He could no longer move a muscle!

“If you kill me, Wang Que can forget about living either!!” Elder Yin cried out in panic. His hair was disheveled, and he was badly battered and covered in dirt. Overall, he cut quite a sorry figure.

Whap!

Su Yi slapped him right across the face, collapsing his cheekbone and sending teeth flying through the air.

“You’d best shut your mouth,” said Su Yi. He then shot into the air carrying Elder Yin.

“Old Man Red Pine greets you, Your Excellency Su!” The old man immediately rushed up and bowed.

He had gray hair, youthful features, and a thin face. His cultivation base was in the early-stage Profound Unity Realm, and he was the strongest yao cultivator in all the Ten Directions Yao Mountains. There was no one else like him.

But when he looked at Su Yi now, his face was full of excitement and respect.

“You contributed a lot this time. No need for excessive formality. Let’s chat more in a bit.” Su Yi subtly inclined his head, then looked at the world within the chessboard.

He looked over just in time to see Bai Yi kill Garuda on the spot!

Whoosh!

Blood poured down like a waterfall as Garuda’s body split and fell into a pool of his own blood.

In the last moments before his death, this descendant of the Golden-Winged Great Pengs looked at Su Yi with great difficulty, and his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something.

But before he could manage even a single word, he died on the spot.

Su Yi could tell that Garuda was unwilling to die!

Clang!

Within the chessboard world, Bai Yi put away his sword, turned, and soared into the air.

When he was still a hundred feet away from Su Yi, he suddenly knelt and kowtowed. “Master, your apprentice has come to beg forgiveness!”

Su Yi’s eyes shone with a hint of gratification. “Quick, get up.”

But Bai Yi continued kowtowing. “Master, earlier, I was mistaken. I foolishly believed Pi Mo’s lies, and I tried to kill you…”

Su Yi furrowed his brow and interrupted, “Get up.”

It was just two words, and his voice was calm, but full of majesty. Bai Yi stiffened, then slowly rose.

However, he still hung his head like a guilty child. He couldn’t face Su Yi.

But Su Yi’s gaze was gentle. “Take a moment to calm yourself.”

He then gazed into the distance.

Ye Luo, Wang Zhuofu, the Dark Mountain Yao Emperor, and the Blue Ox Yao Emperor had worked together to completely suppress the three Wang Family elders. Before long, they’d captured all three of them, and they brought them back over.

Just like that, the curtains fell on a heart-shaking, soul-stirring grand battle.

But Su Yi wasn’t at all happy.

Even after all this, he’d yet to lay eyes on Wang Que.

……

The landscape was withered, and the ground was riddled with holes.

The surrounding eighty thousand feet was the Blue Ox Yao Emperor’s territory, but after this grand battle, the landscape had been utterly ravaged.

Now that the curtains had fallen on this conflict, Su Yi and company arrived at a stretch of ruins.

Wang Zhuofu and the Dark Mountain Yao Emperor were interrogating the three Wang Family elders.

The Blue Ox Yao Emperor stood nervously not far away, like a convict awaiting trial. The Red Pine Yao Emperor stood beside him.

Ye Luo and Bai Yi stood behind Su Yi. One was relaxed, but the other hung his head in shame.

And Elder Yin sat collapsed on the ground before them, his face ashen.

“Since you know how Feng Ji and Fei Yun died, you ought to understand that the imprint of your founder’s will in your soul cannot possibly stop me.” Su Yi gazed down at Elder Yin, his tone calm. “Give me Wang Que, and I’ll grant you a clean death. Otherwise, I naturally have ways to make you live a life worse than death.”

Elder Yin let out a long sigh. He slowly raised his head to look at Su Yi, his expression incomparably complicated. “Swordmaster of Abstruse Force, you truly live up to your reputation!”

He paused, his expression inscrutable. “But I dare say with certainty that the path ahead of you will be full of peril, and that you’ll face great difficulty with every step!

“It’s not just the Studio of the Heart. The other peak factions of the stars will view you as their common enemy. There’s no way they’ll permit you to live.

“Because the power you possess violates a taboo. It’s enough to threaten the very foundation of the stars’ peak factions!”

This declaration made Ye Luo and Bai Yi’s hearts quiver with fright.

But Su Yi furrowed his brow. “I’m asking you where Wang Que is.”

Elder Yin fell silent, then said, “He’s the qilin son of the Middle Province Wang Family. He’s naturally with his family.”

This declaration left the whole group stunned.

Elder Yin stared intently at Su Yi. “Su Xuanjun, I’ve told you everything already. Now, all I ask is for a clean death.”

He looked entirely unafraid to die.

Su Yi took a deep look at him and said, “You’re not after a clean death. You just want to find a chance to escape while I’m killing your founder’s imprint of will. Am I right?”

Elder Yin’s expression instantly shifted.

Su Yi was undoubtedly right on the mark!
