Chapter 1155 – The Storm Descends
Ancestor Peng and the others instantly realized what he was getting at.
“No wonder that the factions of the stars beyond didn’t kill their way to your doorstep as soon as they arrived, Old Monster Su. So that’s why they’re trying to threaten you into submission,” said Ancestor Peng. “Their greatest pillars of support cannot enter the Wilds!”
A World King could enter the Wilds, but only if they suppressed their cultivation base.
But if they suppressed their cultivation base, were they really a World King?
The old fogeys’ expressions remained solemn, but they still sighed in relief.
Earlier, they’d been at a loss. They’d even felt helplessness and despair!
“Still, it seems to me that we can’t afford to relax,” said the Border Mountain Yao Ancestor. “They ruthlessly threatened to exterminate every person and faction connected to Old Monster Su if he doesn’t lower his head. With their numbers, if they really steel themselves to do just that, it’ll lead to an unpredictable disaster.”
“That’s right,” said Ancestor Peng. “When you fought the Tailor, his Dao Clone was far more terrifying than an Imperial Apex cultivator. Even suppressed, Qing Tang’s strength surpassed the Imperial Apex level. This means that the enemies who enter the Wilds will surely include similar existences.”
These old-timers had experienced the ups and downs of countless years and innumerable battles. They quickly analyzed the whole situation.
In the end, all of them reached the same conclusion: even if World Kings couldn’t enter, a lineup like that was still enough to flatten the Wilds with ease!
And Su Yi’s hopes of victory… were fleeting!
This conclusion left them all with heavy hearts, and their spirits sank once more.
Gu Wentian had been listening in silence this entire time. Inwardly, he laughed coldly. And you were just cursing me out for acting as their flunky!
When this storm arrives, you old farts will become dogs too. If you refuse, you’ll become dead dogs!
But Gu Wentian had only just thought this when he sensed Su Yi’s gaze, and his whole body stiffened. .𝒎
“Go back and tell them that, within ten days, Su Xuanjun will proceed to Red Dust Demon Palace, so they should wash their necks and wait,” Su Yi said calmly, every word full of staunch conviction.
Ancestor Peng and the others’ expressions shifted. The implications of Su Yi’s words startled them.
But just as they were about to dissuade him, Su Yi waved. “I’ve already made up my mind. Don’t bother trying to dissuade me.”
Gu Wentian froze, stunned, as if he dared not believe. “You… Are you serious?”
He almost suspected that Su Xuanjun had gone insane!
Su Yi glanced at him. “Of course, when the time comes, I’ll personally see Red Dust Demon Palace to the grave.”
Gu Wentian stiffened, then laughed coldly. “Then I’ll just have to clean out my eyes and wait!”
“You can roll on out of here,” said Su Yi.
Gu Wentian swooshed his sleeves and left.
But before he’d gotten far, Su Yi furrowed his brow. “I told you to roll.”
Gu Wentian was so furious that his lungs practically burst, and his face flushed red. “Su Xuanjun, you can kill a man, but you shouldn’t humiliate him. You…”
Clang!
The hum of a sword rang out, and Su Yi’s eyes blazed with murderous intent.
Gu Wentian was so startled that his soul practically left his body. He curled into a ball and, right in front of the crowd…
…rolled on out!
“Haha!”
“Wimp!”
“I just recorded everything in a jade slip. When I get a free moment, I’ll publicize it. Let’s let the whole world bear witness to the ‘strength of character’ of the Red Dust Demon Palace’s high elder!”
Ancestor Peng and the others watched disdainfully.
“Su Xuanjun, just you wait—!” Gu Wentian’s resentful, vicious roar emanated from beyond the Grotto of Abstruse Force.
Alas, Su Yi didn’t care in the slightest.
“Old Monster Su, you’ve already made up your mind, so we naturally won’t argue. When the time comes, we’ll accompany you!” Ancestor Peng said solemnly.
The other Old Monsters looked at each other, then nodded.
Su Yi was stunned, but then, he couldn’t help but laugh. “You old fogies all act like you’re throwing yourselves to your deaths. Aren’t you making a mountain out of a molehill?”
Although he said this, a warm current coursed through his heart.
When most people learned that Su Xuanjun faced imminent disaster, they’d fear nothing more than failing to escape in time or somehow implicating themselves.
Yet Ancestor Peng and the others had chosen to stand beside him!
“Making a mountain out of a molehill? We just can’t bear to see you go to your death alone!” the Skythorn Poison Emperor said irritably.
Su Yi shook his head slightly. “I’m not necessarily going to my death. If I don’t kill until the rivers run red with blood and slaughter to my heart’s content, how will I teach these people from the stars beyond that it’s a bad idea to provoke Su Xuanjun?”
Ancestor Peng and the others’ expressions were a complex mixture of admiration and lingering concern.
This was Su Xuanjun!
He’d always been this domineering. No matter how great the disaster, his back never bent, and he never lowered his head!
Su Yi laughed, then teased, “When the time comes, just watch the show. I have absolutely no desire to implicate you.”
Ancestor Peng and the others were so angry, they laughed and criticized him for looking down on them.
But they all knew that Su Yi had only said this because he didn’t want them to get swept into this storm.
How long had they been friends? How could they not understand each other’s personality?
“It’s settled.” Su Yi swept his gaze across the group. “When the time comes, even if I die in battle, you shouldn’t get involved!”
All of them fell silent, but beneath the weight of Su Yi’s gaze, they eventually nodded.
Su Yi smiled.
Despite his external calm, he was inwardly enraged. They’d triggered his urge to kill!
The reason was simple. These factions of the stars beyond were threatening the people associated with him with complete annihilation! That completely crossed Su Yi’s bottom line.
“Right, what did you come here for?” asked Su Yi. Earlier, Wang Que reported that they’d come here with something to discuss.
Ancestor Peng’s expression darkened. “Now that you mention it, we’re also here about the factions of the starry skies. They sent emissaries to make contact with us, and they gave us terms.
“They said we could submit, become their dogs, and help them gather Dark and Gold Treasures. Alternatively, we could draw a clear line between you and us and view you with enmity, leaving you completely without allies in the Wilds. They also wanted us to assist them in targeting those people and factions connected to you.”
“They said that if we refused, they’d consider us their enemies and annihilate us.”
Su Yi suddenly realized that the factions of the distant stars were already taking action! This realization only intensified his urge to kill.
The Studio of the Heart, Church of the River of Stars, Nine Heavens Pavilion, and Primordial Unity Daoist Sect had rallied over a hundred of their subordinate factions to attack the Wilds. Su Yi had no doubt that the Tailor was working behind the scenes to stir up waves!
The Tailor’s arrangements were also surely mixed into these factions’ upcoming operation!
“Rest assured, Old Monster Su. We didn’t agree to their demands,” said the Border Mountain Yao Ancestor.
“No, you’re welcome to pretend to cooperate for now. Once I’ve destroyed them, there’ll of course be no further need for that,” Su Yi said casually.
He spoke with unprecedented composure and confidence.
But… the old-timers sighed to themselves. They couldn’t work up much confidence in Su Yi’s decisions.
After all, his opponents this time were just too terrifying!
When the banquet ended, all of them bade farewell.
Meanwhile, Su Yi called Jing Xing and Wang Que to his side.
“In a few days, I’ll be visiting Red Dust Demon Palace. I’m not afraid of the impending storm, but I have no choice but to take precautions to ensure that my enemies don’t target you all.
Su Yi took out the Seed of the Azure and passed it to Jing Xing. “Jing Xing, I’ll entrust the Seed of the Azure to your care. When I leave, you and Wang Que are to take Wen Lingxue and the others and leave the Grotto of Abstruse Force. Seek refuge in the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals.”
Here, Su Yi took out a jade slip and said gently, “I’ve recorded a secret map of a perilous hidden realm in the perimeter of the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals. The map includes a safe path, and so long as you follow it, you won’t run into any danger.
“Right, Wang Que, remember to take a trip back to the Wang Family and make arrangements for them too. Ideally, you’d lead the entire clan elsewhere.”
Both Jing Xing and Wang Que were stunned as they realized something was amiss!
Historically, no matter what danger their master faced, he was calm and composed, even dismissive.
But this time was obviously different!
If this storm was perilous enough that even their master had no choice but to take precautions, it was easy to imagine just how terrifying it was!
“With adequate precautions, there’ll be nothing to fear. I reincarnated far too suddenly, leaving behind numerous latent threats. I naturally won’t repeat my mistakes this time,” said Su Yi. He could tell that they were both worried.
He said casually, “These enemies aren’t worth considering. I’m just worried about all of you.”
“Master, it’s my fault for being so inept!” Jing Xing hung his head, his voice somber.
Wang Que wasn’t at all happy either.
“Inept?” Su Yi laughed. “You’re my disciples. Who would dare call you inept? You’ll one day prove your Daos and become World Kings. The world’s cultivators cannot even begin to compare to you.”
Suddenly, he recalled something. “Remember: if you run into danger too great to resolve on your own, shatter the Undying Talisman.”
“Your disciples shall assiduously carry out your orders, Master.” Jing Xing and Wang Que bowed solemnly.
……
The storm from the stars beyond… had arrived!
Word spread rapidly throughout the Wilds, causing widespread uproar.
“Barely any time has passed since the battle at the Grotto of Abstruse Force, but the factions of the stars beyond are back already?”
Some peoples’ hearts quivered.
“Over a hundred factions, and a simply enormous number of experts! I’m afraid a lineup like that could annihilate all of the Wilds!”
Some people felt intense pressure assailing them right in the face.
“We’re finished! They came to get revenge against His Excellency Su after all!”
Some people were despondent.
“How will Su Xuanjun face this terrifying storm?”
Some people tried to guess.
Before long, word spread——
The factions of the stars beyond had issued a joint decree. Su Xuanjun was to kneel before Red Dust Demon Palace and admit his crimes within ten days!
If he refused, they’d annihilate every last person and faction connected to him!
This news instantly swept across the Nine Provinces of the Wilds like a hurricane, triggering countless waves of uproar.
Just like that, the wind and clouds shifted!
