Chapter 1426: Strange Change of the Station
Xueying said, “I’ve met several shameless people, but none of them have ever been as shameless as you!”
“You’re pretentiously asking back for the stakes of the competition that you promised, just because your Clan Master died?”
Cailin added with contempt, “The way the Chu Clan handles things seems clear and vivid. Both the young and the old generations have inherited the pattern, haven’t they?”
Chu Wen frowned and raised his hand to slap Cailin and Xueying with sorcery energy.
“I’m talking to Su. Who the hell are you to interrupt and make such insulting remarks on the Chu Clan?”
Bang!
Right as the sorcery energy came striking, Su Yu emerged like a flash of lightning and forcefully dispersing the surge of sorcery energy.
At the same time, a wave of divine energy effused from him, striking at Chu Wen.
Pow!
With a dull noise, his body was smashed into an indiscernible mess of blood and flesh. The damage done to his mouth was especially bad.
From the sides, the elders simmered with rage, immediately holding on to Chu Wen and healing him. They furiously yelled, “Bold sinner, how dare you injure our people!”
Su Yu said nonchalantly, “You should thank me for even sparing him!”
“I could disregard the multiple offenses he made towards me, but he was seeking his doom when he treated my people with impudence!” Su Yu said indifferently.
“If you want to try, I don’t mind having a one-to-one challenge with each one of you!”
His insolent words roused the fury of all the elders. As a result, a strong and overwhelming wave of Level 3 auras surged forth like turbulent waves.
Su Yu wasn’t afraid at all. Rolling up his big sleeves, he stood in front of Xueying and Cailin and burst out laughing.
“Fine! I didn’t get to kill much at the forbidden lands. Since you have presented yourselves to me today, I’ll show you no mercy!”
Boom!
Four thousand Divine Paths came into view all at once. A light with nine colors condensed into countless beams radiated in all directions.
Boom…! Rumble…!
In the blink of an eye, the grand hall was shattered into fragments by the divine brilliance. When faced with the divine brilliance, the protective seals in the grand hall crumbled like paper.
The first person to bear the brunt was the elder taking the lead before the four others. He was caught unaware and severely wounded by the horrendous Divine Path. His body crumbled into pieces, leaving only his soul to escape.
The other elders were wounded by the divine brilliance as well. Shocked and frenzied, they hurriedly retreated!
The only ones unscathed were the blind elder and the single-armed elder, who were equally stupefied.
Compared to Su Yu’s performance during the Saint Lady’s fiance selection, his 3,000 Divine Paths had increased to 4,000!
The intensity of his power had soared exponentially!
Chu Long, the Saint Temple Master as well as Ling Wu, the three powerful men were terrified enough of the 3,000 Divine Paths, let alone 4,000 Divine Paths.
The four elders with only their souls remaining were so frightened they went to hide under the ground, never appearing in front of Su Yu again.
A mere small-scale fight had nearly destroyed the Chu Clan’s grand palace, killed four of the Chu Clan elders, and injured another seven or eight people. The resulting scene was left in complete disarray.
No one expected this to happen!
When Su Yu caught a glimpse of the four souls trying to flee underground he called out coldly, “Trying to run away?”
The ray of divine brilliance in his hand transformed into a long spear, piercing through the ground and striking at the souls hidden deep under the ground.
The faces of the blind elder and the single-armed elder fell dramatically as they frantically berated, “Stop it!”
Immense fury was written all over their faces.
The single-armed elder bellowed, “How could you be so vicious to persecute them like that?”
Su Yu sneered. “You besieged me first, so why can’t I retaliate? Your logic is hilarious!”
The blind elder heaved a sigh. “Mister Su, we initially wanted to be reasonable with you. But since you attacked first, I have no choice but to let this end terribly!”
Dong!
A thunderous sound resonated through the air. From the depths of the Chu mansion, a humongous drum was carried out.
The golden skin of the drum contained an incomparably powerful strength.
Xueying’s pupils constricted slightly. “This is the guardian divine artifact of the Chu Clan, the Demon Subduing Drum.”
“It was passed down personally by the Wizard Ancestor to kill the ferocious beasts that escape from the Asura Forbidden Lands. Its power is equivalent to a blow from a Level 2 strong man!!”
Upon hearing that, Su Yu only flashed a placid smile. “You may have reasoned with me, but your reasoning was beyond shameless! You want to use the Demon Subduing Drum? Haha, you have to be able to activate it first!”
Swish!
A pitch-black token appeared on Su Yu’s palm. The token created resonance with the Demon Subduing Drum from a distance, forming a connection between them.
When the Demon Subduing Drum sensed the presence of the token, the golden drum skin emitted a mirthful buzz as it releasing a golden halo shrouding Su Yu while the token was still in his hand.
“It recognizes its owner?” The blind elder and the single-armed elder turned pale, their faces looking awful.
Xueying’s eyes were glistening with surprised delight. She couldn’t help but burst out in laughter and say, “Looks like Brother Su has your Family Master’s token!”
“The Demon Subduing Drum recognizes the token but not the owner. Whoever gets the token will be recognized as the Family Master!”
“This Demon Subduing Drum was created by the Wizard Ancestor. It would not simply attack the people of the Chu Clan, let alone the Family Master!”
Having been freed from the threat of the Demon Subduing Drum, Xueying was overjoyed. Her eyes gleamed with a cold light. “Let us reason now and see who has a bigger fist!”
As she spoke, she wanted to attack only for Su Yu to stop her. “Don’t be fooled. They have other tricks up their sleeves!”
The blind elder and the single-armed elder each took out half a piece of a jade pendant. Once the pieces fused together, the Wizard Ancestor’s scent emanated from the jade pendant!
A profound sense of threat washed over everyone!
“This is the treasure left by the Wizard Ancestor for us to safeguard our bloodline. Try us, if you dare. I’ll be sure to turn you into ashes!” The blind elder yelled.
Su Yu shot him a look of disregard as he pointed out, “If this thing is as amazing as you say, you would have displayed it at the beginning! I suppose this thing’s area of attack must be very limited. Am I right?”
The blind elder raised his brows slightly, exposing his unease.
“So I was right!” Su Yu declared with indifference.
The faces of the blind elder and the single-armed elder fell, turning very awful as they yelled, “All of you, dismiss now! Before the family’s safety is ensured, do not return!”
The jade pendant was only capable of saving the two of them, but not all!
The people of the clan were overwhelmed with a sense of sorrow; the Chu Clan had been landed in such a predicament in which everyone had to run for their lives!
Right when they were consumed by the ominous feeling and mourning their fates, Su Yu withdrew his divine brilliance with indifference as if he were a murderous god.
Dispassionately, he said, “Pathetic people always possess loathsome characteristics, and yours lies in your loathsome nature. I guess a leopard can never change its spots!”
“After the demises of your Clan Master and your Young Master, you should have reflected and addressed the failures and weaknesses of the former Clan Master and learn from that. Instead, you tried every possible way to obtain his assets!”
“It seems that Chu Long’s death isn’t enough of a lesson for you people. I guess you’ll only learn when you see your own blood spill.”
Why did Chu Long die? He went to great lengths to alter the restrictive seals to secure his resources only to end up getting himself killed by the three ferocious beasts. He had reaped what he sowed.
The Chu Clan, which had lost their leader, did not learn the lesson at all. Not only did they not reflect on their misdeeds, but they also tried to greedily regain the resources.
Su Yu sighed in disappointment, “The Duckbill Beast was right. The guardian family no longer deserves their appellation. They have ended up like any other ordinary family.”
Shaking his head, Su Yu turned around and left in the direction of the city’s exit. He seemed to have no intention of spilling the blood of others.
Xueying was rather unconvinced. “We’re just letting them get away like that? They had wanted to kill us!”
“I only attacked to teach them a lesson. Did you think I was going to cause a massacre?” Su Yu said, unruffled.
“This is a time of chaos, and enemies from the god realm would invade anytime. If they are killed, who’s going to protect the innocent citizens of the Fan Capital?”
Xueying’s bright eyes glistened. In those eyes, Su Yu’s reflection had become even more mighty and magnificent than before.
It would’ve been satisfying Su Yu slaughtered them all, but how would a mad killer win the deep affection of women?
Upon taking flight into midair, Su Yu turned back and cast a look at them. Placidly, he said, “Besides, you should reinforce your defenses. I discovered the trails of the enemies from the God realm at the Black Forest. I believe war is fast approaching.”
When he finished, Su Yu streaked across the air and left with the two women.
The Chu Clan fell silent for a long while, feeling extremely disgraced and ashamed.
“Damn it! The only reason why he deliberately injured the elders of our clan and destroyed our mansion was because of his overweening strength!”
“Indeed! What a massive bully!”
“Elders, please report this to the Sect Master right away. Have him decide for us!”
In exchange for their forgiveness without bloodshed, they were now returning it with even greater resentment instead of gratitude.
With enmity in their eyes, the blind elder and the single-armed elder snorted through their nostrils and withdrew their own pieces of the jade pendant.
“Clean up this mess. Everything that transpired here has to be kept within four walls. Anyone who leaks it and worsens the Chu Clan’s prestige will face serious consequences!” The single-armed elder yelled.
When he finished giving his orders, he told the blind elder, “I think we should think carefully about whether or not what the fellow mentioned before he left is true.”
The blind elder nodded. “Indeed, we have lost touch with many of the tribes. If our speculation turns out to be true, they have most probably been wiped out by the great army from the God Realm.”
The single-armed elder turned his eyes. “Old Luo, your eyesight is inconvenient. I suggest that you hand over half of your command to me so that I could handle it on your behalf. That way, we can consolidate our military forces to optimal efficiency.”
Upon hearing that, the blind elder sneered. “I may be blind, but my hands are not broken! How about you hand over your command to me! I have led troops to fight many wars before, so I’m way better at this than you!”
“Hmph. In that case, wouldn’t you claim all the clan’s power?” The single-armed elder questioned.
The blind elder confronted in return, “So you’re saying you wouldn’t claim all the power if you get all the command?”
Vexed, the single-armed elder said, “Fine, forget it if you don’t trust me! We’ll lead our own troops so we don’t get in each other’s way!”
“That’s the best! Humph!” The blind elder flicked his sleeves and left.
At this critical juncture, the two of them parted on bad terms.
Two days later, in the Black Forest, at the military station of the Chu Clan…
Su Yu and the two women arrived on the back of the wizard phoenix to return the beast.
As always, this place was a safe spot for the wizards to congregate. It bustled with a variety of activities, teeming with crowds.
When Su Yu passed by a small alley, he couldn’t help but stop in his tracks when he recalled seeing the Saint handing a scroll to a man in a black robe from the God Realm.
He had it in mind the whole time and often wondered what the scroll truly was.
Could the Saint still be using the citizens of the god realm to practice the so-called forbidden technique?
Doubtful, Su Yu came to the place where he borrowed the wizard phoenix.
It was a garden filled with dense sorcery energy, which was a favorable spot for wizard phoenixes to rest.
“Eh? Where are the troops stationed here?” Xueying glanced around. Renting wizard phoenixes was an important source of income for the station. It was normally closely guarded by the kins of the garrison guarding the place, so why were they now nowhere to be seen?
Cailin slightly squinted as she stared at the garden. Slowly, she said, “Not just the guards, even the rest of the wizard phoenixes have gone missing!”
“They are flying beasts used for military purposes. They all couldn’t be rented at one time. There should be at least ten of them remaining!”
Xueying also realized something out of place after hearing her words. “You’re right! When we came here last time, there were over 30 of them left. How could they all be rented in just a fortnight?”
All of a sudden, the faint scent of blood wafted into their noses.
Their faces fell slightly, while Su Yu had already propelled the wizard phoenix to take flight again.
He sighed, “Looks like the worst-case scenario finally happened! We shall leave this place immediately. A major crisis is imminent!”
