Chapter 1148: The Divide of the Overlord Sect!
Wu Tianpeng knew that if he couldn’t secure those eleven Yuan Stones before entering the City Master’s mansion, they’d likely never end up in his possession.
“I made it absolutely clear earlier. If you escort me into the City Master’s mansion, all eleven two-star Yuan Stones will be yours! But now, before I’ve even entered, you demand the Yuan Stones from me. Do you truly believe I’d hand them over?”
Su Yi raised his eyebrow and stated naturally.
“Kid, you’d better act wisely, or you’ll come to regret it!”
Wu Tianpeng’s expression turned exceedingly grim, his pudgy fists clenched tightly.
They had already reached the entrance of the City Master’s mansion, and this youth was undoubtedly trapped. However, it would be prudent to obtain the Yuan Stones first.
“Hmph! If you refuse to escort me into the City Master’s mansion, then I shall enter by myself!”
Su Yi glanced at those beside him before walking directly toward the tall, imposing gate of the City Master’s mansion.
When Wu Tianpeng and the others witnessed this scene, they were instantly alarmed and frightened.
Was this youth serious? If he stepped foot inside the City Master’s mansion and the higher-ups discovered this, they would face severe punishment.
Seeing Su Yi already moving forward, Wu Tianpeng and his companions dared not delay. They immediately gave chase, their bodies surging with energy. They launched successive attacks, all targeting Su Yi, determined to capture him immediately!
The eleven Yuan Stones were no longer their primary concern at this moment.
“Whoosh…”
A vast swath of light swept through the area, colorful and brimming with various types of energy.
However, in the next instant, Wu Tianpeng and the others merely glimpsed the boy’s figure before their attacks struck elsewhere.
“Boom…”
At the entrance of the City Master’s mansion, a majestic and sturdy stone lion crumbled under this power, disintegrating into powder instantaneously. A thick, robust column also shattered, immediately raising a cloud of dust and debris.
“This is disastrous!”
Witnessing such destruction, Wu Tianpeng and those behind him felt their hearts plummet. How would they explain this situation to their superiors?
Looking ahead, they saw the boy had already nimbly crossed to the entrance and stepped directly inside.
“Quickly, after him!”
Wu Tianpeng and the others broke into a cold sweat, pursuing at full speed.
Their hearts filled with anxiety. They hadn’t anticipated that this seemingly unremarkable boy would possess such tremendous strength, effortlessly evading their numerous attacks.
“Who dares intrude upon the City Master’s mansion!”
Just as Su Yi crossed the main gate of the City Master’s mansion, a shout resonated from within.
Soon, dozens of figures rapidly approached and gathered before him. They had noticed the commotion outside.
“So, it’s the Mysterious Sword Gate that controls this place!”
Su Yi halted. He observed that the attire of the dozens confronting him resembled that of the Mysterious Sword Gate, with even a few familiar faces among them.
The remaining individuals wore clothing similar to those behind them.
“Who are you!”
The group encircled Su Yi, and a Mysterious Sword Gate disciple leading them demanded with stern authority.
Su Yi offered no response. His facial muscles twitched momentarily before returning to their usual appearance.
By this time, Wu Tianpeng and his companions had pursued him inside, and upon witnessing this scene, they momentarily froze.
“Disguise technique!”
Wu Tianpeng felt profound surprise. He’d heard of such techniques, but they weren’t accessible to ordinary individuals. He hadn’t expected this youth to possess such ability.
What astonished him further was that the person before him appeared to be merely sixteen or seventeen years old, approximately half his age.
“May I emerge now? I’m nearly suffocating!”
From within Su Yi’s arms, a clear childlike voice sounded.
After Su Xiaoshuai’s head poked out, he swiftly flew up and perched on Su Yi’s shoulder.
“Demon… Demonic Void Realm?”
Wu Zhengpeng and those behind him instantly felt their scalps tingle. A talking bird was rather terrifying.
Cold sweat trickled down their foreheads—this young boy actually had a demon beast of the Demonic Void Realm accompanying him.
At this moment, all present experienced extreme trepidation.
Had this youth before them wished it, hadn’t they risked death a hundred times over in the street earlier?
“Sect Leader Su!”
After Su Yi resumed his true appearance, a Mysterious Sword Gate disciple immediately recognized him.
This disciple had previously traveled to Nine Star City, though his modest strength had prevented his participation in the alliance meeting. That’s why he identified Su Yi instantly.
“So it’s Leader Su who has arrived. Please, enter quickly!”
The disciple gestured, signaling the dozens nearby to clear a path and allow Su Yi precedence.
“Very well!”
Su Yi nodded and proceeded forward without hesitation.
The Mysterious Sword Gate disciple who had just spoken quickly followed, respectfully guiding him toward a grand palace ahead.
The remaining individuals watched as the pair departed.
“Sect Leader Su? Who is Sect Leader Su?”
Wu Tianpeng suddenly felt perplexed. He realized the young man’s identity might be significant, yet the title “Sect Leader Su” left him bewildered.
Another Mysterious Sword Gate disciple nearby glanced at him disdainfully and remarked, “You Red Tiger Gang members don’t recognize Sect Leader Su? Are you truly so ignorant?”
Hearing this, Wu Tianpeng grew even more confused, yet he dared not challenge the Mysterious Sword Gate disciple.
However, another Mysterious Sword Gate disciple suddenly sighed with admiration and envy, saying, “At merely seventeen years of age, he already leads a sect, and has attained the Fifth Grade of the Yuan Void Realm! Sect Leader Su is truly formidable. I wish I possessed even half his talent!”
“Indeed! He effortlessly eradicated the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Golden Sword Sect, and even when the Tiangang Sect arrived with great momentum, they were defeated! Sect Leader Su’s reputation will undoubtedly reverberate throughout the entire Chaos Realm in the future!” another Mysterious Sword Gate disciple declared.
“Why await the future? Throughout the Chaos Realm today, everyone knows Sect Leader Su’s name.” Someone added.
Upon hearing these words, Wu Tianpeng and those behind him were utterly astounded.
As he processed this information, a sudden realization struck Wu Tianpeng. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “Could this Sect Leader Su be none other than the first-ranked participant in the Alliance Conference, the Overlord Sect’s Master Su Yi?”
After speaking, he stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.
No confirmation was necessary. In his heart, Wu Tianpeng was already certain of this truth.
In an instant, all disciples of the Red Tiger Gang, including himself, trembled with fear, overwhelmed by immense terror.
Reflecting upon their actions today, they had essentially provoked the most powerful figure—tantamount to courting death!
Wu Tianpeng felt momentarily dazed, realizing he must have lost his senses to dare challenge someone of such stature.
The mere thought intensified his fear exponentially.
He stood stunned, completely oblivious to the disdainful glances from the Mysterious Sword Gate disciples.
Suddenly, a Mysterious Sword Gate disciple inquired, “What transpired outside just now?”
Upon hearing this, Wu Tianpeng felt his scalp tighten, as he certainly understood the reference.
The imposing stone lions outside the City Master’s residence, along with the sturdy pillars, had all been shattered—a fact impossible to conceal.
For dealing with common folk, compensation according to value would suffice. Those items weren’t particularly valuable anyway.
But he couldn’t simply dismiss the Mysterious Sword Gate and others. Hadn’t they effectively attempted to capture the Overlord Sect’s leader, Su Yi?
“Just now…just now…”
Wu Tianpeng stammered, unable to formulate a coherent explanation, his entire body drenched in perspiration.
…
Guided by a disciple from the Mysterious Sword Gate, Su Yi swiftly entered the hall.
“Please be seated, Sect Leader Su. I will immediately summon Elder Liu!”
The Mysterious Sword Gate disciple arranged seating for Su Yi and called for a servant to serve tea. Then, the disciple hastily departed.
Shortly thereafter, a man in his fifties with jet-black hair entered through the main gate. He greeted Su Yi with a respectful fist salute and said, “Sect Leader Su, forgive me for not welcoming you personally!”
“Please, Elder Liu, no formalities are necessary for my sudden arrival!”
Su Yi returned the salute, perceiving that Elder Liu was genuinely courteous.
Although Su Yi had never encountered this individual before, he sensed the other’s cultivation likely resided at the initial stage of the Yuan Emperor Realm, befitting an elder of the Mysterious Sword Gate.
After exchanging pleasantries, Elder Liu informed Su Yi that he presently held the position of City Master in Sword Star City.
“The Sect Master has already informed me. Sword Star City belongs to the Overlord Sect, with the Mysterious Sword Gate merely managing it temporarily. Therefore, excessive formality with Sect Leader Su is unnecessary.”
Elder Liu, being forthright, directly addressed Su Yi, “Actually, Sect Leader Ji previously journeyed to the Overlord Sect seeking Sect Leader Su, but it appears the Overlord Sect has relocated. I wonder…”
He regarded Su Yi with curiosity.
“Is that so?”
Su Yi was taken aback, realizing Ji Tianfu had also sought him out. He replied to Elder Liu, “Indeed, the Overlord Sect has relocated, and we haven’t had the opportunity to inform the Mysterious Sword Gate and Liuhe Sect. I simply wonder what important matters Sect Leader Ji wished to discuss previously.”
As an ally, Su Yi deemed it necessary to inform the Mysterious Sword Gate and Liuhe Sect of his new whereabouts, fostering mutual trust.
Otherwise, if significant events unfolded and they couldn’t locate him, it would prove truly embarrassing.
“Haha, nothing of great significance.”
Elder Liu chuckled and extracted a pouch from his pocket, presenting it to Su Yi, saying, “These are half the resources collected from the three cities of the Seven Star Sword Sect—the Overlord Sect’s share. Since the sect leader couldn’t locate the Overlord Sect, he entrusted these to me. It’s an opportune moment to deliver them to Sect Leader Su.”
Su Yi accepted it immediately and opened it. Inside were neatly arranged millions of two-star Yuan Stones, alongside numerous elixirs and spiritual herbs.
This represented substantial wealth, instantly illuminating Su Yi’s eyes.
