Chapter 771: Cheng Yanhuan!
“Go ahead, you have your part to play anyway!” Su Yi declared, taking long strides forward.
“I haven’t even made a move,” Xu Chen said with a helpless sigh as he hurried after them, falling into step beside them.
“Whether others believe it or not is up to them,” Su Yi remarked with subtle meaning in his tone.
“Don’t threaten me. If you won’t sell me the Star Cloud Ganoderma, I’ll report you,” Xu Chen hesitated momentarily but showed no fear. After all, he truly didn’t care.
“Go ahead.”
Su Yi waved his hand dismissively, not taking the threat to heart.
“You… uh…”
Xu Chen sighed, feeling frustrated as if he had no way to handle this person.
Silent mountains lay enveloped in darkness before dawn.
“Roarrrr…”
From somewhere unknown, a beast’s roar echoed in the distance.
In the middle of this ancient forest, a gigantic canyon sprawled before them. Its winding and intricate path led through steep and mysterious depths, with layers upon layers of rocks stacked together. The meandering twists and turns of the canyon resembled a deep, grayish-white ribbon in the dark of night, dancing gracefully through the heart of this ancient forest.
The mountains surrounding the canyon soared skyward, like a series of vertical swords, as if separating heaven and earth.
At the canyon’s entrance, no fewer than thirty or forty figures stood, each wearing an eager and excited expression, though tinged with unease.
Among them, several young men and women, their bodies stained with blood, appeared quite disheveled. Their faces were pale as they sat cross-legged on nearby rocks, eyes slightly closed while they rested and breathed deeply.
A mysterious blood-red hue radiated from these young men and women, giving off a faint glow that illuminated the surroundings with a hazy radiance. An extraordinary aura emanated from them, indicating they were the cream of the crop among the younger generation.
At this moment, if Su Yi were present, he would surely recognize several familiar faces, including Gong Qi from the Divine Sword School, Jian Wuque, and Liu Xiaohu from the Tianxuan Sect.
Each young person in the group seemed extraordinary.
Yet at this moment, as they gathered together, everyone displayed some apprehension, huddling and whispering, discussing something with lowered heads.
This group of disciples was led by Jian Wuque from the Divine Sword School and a young girl of similar age.
These two stood out exceptionally in the crowd; even Liu Xiaohu, who held the status of a Soul Tamer, appeared somewhat diminished before them.
The young girl possessed a graceful figure despite her youth. Her face was delicate and charming, with a healthy wheatish complexion that lacked the typical fragility and fair complexion associated with women, adding a touch of elegance. She had a small, straight nose and large, bright eyes beneath curved, long eyelashes.
Most striking about this girl were her pupils, which held a faint golden color, lending an enchanting quality.
“Someone else has arrived.”
As the group discussed something, suddenly, someone’s gaze turned toward the canyon’s exterior. Then another person approached.
All eyes turned toward the canyon, where two figures appeared in the distance.
“It’s really Yi Su from the Overlord Sect!”
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise, as among the two individuals, one seemingly ordinary young man turned out to be the renowned Yi Su from the powerful Overlord Sect.
Yi Su from the Overlord Sect immediately captured every gaze.
Even Jian Wuque and the captivating lady couldn’t help but lift their gazes, secretly intrigued.
The two individuals who had arrived were none other than Su Yi and Xu Chen.
“What a handsome person!”
In the crowd, several young women caught sight of Xu Chen, their eyes widening in fascination as they couldn’t help but steal additional glances.
Sensing numerous auras ahead, figures flickered in and out. Su Yi arrived without concealing his presence, genuinely curious to see if anyone sought him or if he might encounter someone from the Sacred Mountain.
“There are many people here. I wonder if anyone is looking for you.”
Observing the crowd ahead, Xu Chen addressed Su Yi, his gaze flickering.
Su Yi stepped forward, scanning the crowd as his gaze subtly shifted.
Gong Qi, Liu Xiaohu, and others naturally knew Su Yi, and there was also that remarkable young man from the Divine Sword School, who must be Jian Wuque.
Additionally, there was a weapon refiner from the Tianxuan Sect. Su Yi had encountered him before, during the soul quality testing at the Yutian Palace. His soul was of King Grade, and he was called Zhao Chuannan.
However, Su Yi’s gaze soon turned regretful. Among the dozens present, not a single person from the Sacred Mountain could be found.
“With so many people gathered, something must be happening,” Xu Chen observed, looking around curiously. He felt certain something important must be occurring.
Su Yi had already surveyed the surroundings. Jian Wuque, Liu Xiaohu, and others were present. From what he had seen during the day, many in the gathering were from the Five Sects and Three Schools.
Several were injured, taking time to heal and rest nearby, which proved something significant had definitely occurred there.
Without acknowledging the gazes directed at him, Su Yi felt curious as well. These people wouldn’t gather without good reason.
“There seems to be something inside.”
Su Yi’s gaze fell upon the canyon’s interior. As others followed suit, their gazes turned toward the entrance. Clearly, something lay within.
As his soul power unfurled, Su Yi sensed an extraordinary presence within the canyon. This caused the temperature in the surrounding space to rise notably.
“You’re Yi Su from the Overlord Sect, correct? Would you join us on this journey?”
While Su Yi assessed his surroundings, a clear voice reached his ears, posing him a question.
Following the sound, Su Yi spotted a stunning and enchanting woman. Wrapped in a sturdy robe, her long, slender legs were outlined, and her body possessed alluring curves, radiating vibrant youthful energy.
Su Yi could roughly determine the woman’s identity. He had seen her at the entrance to the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm, standing at the forefront of the Qiantian Sect’s lineup.
Observing her demeanor and the intangible aura she emanated, Su Yi deduced this woman was likely Cheng Yanhuan, the most renowned figure in the Qiantian Sect.
Upon seeing her long, slender legs and captivating curves, Su Yi couldn’t resist a second glance.
Her style and temperament surpassed Gong Qi beside her in every aspect. But what truly distinguished her was the invisible aura she emanated, giving her unique and extraordinary charisma.
As Cheng Yanhuan spoke, all eyes immediately turned to Su Yi. If this Overlord Sect’s Yi Su were to join them, their chances would greatly improve.
“Go inside there?” Su Yi gazed at the canyon and asked Cheng Yanhuan.
“We received news that a vine called Flame Dragon Crystal Vine grows here, and its Dragon Crystal Fruit has just ripened.”
Cheng Yanhuan looked at Su Yi and spoke candidly, concealing nothing.
She had heard of Yi Su, the renowned figure from the Overlord Sect. His easy defeat of Ouyang Jinwei had proven his strength and qualified him to enter the sect. This would provide her an additional advantage when the time came.
“Flame Dragon Crystal Vine and Dragon Crystal Fruit!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen was also greatly moved.
Su Yi narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering with excitement.
Dragon Crystal Fruit was no ordinary thing. It was said this Flame Dragon Crystal Vine could only grow in places where true dragon bloodline had once resided and left its essence.
Legend held that when Dragon Crystal Fruits matured, they became valuable treasures capable of enhancing demon beasts’ bloodlines.
When warriors consumed it, they could temper their physical bodies, enhance their innate abilities, and cleanse their bones and marrow.
A Dragon Crystal Fruit’s value was immeasurable, comparable to a mid-level yellow-grade elixir. However, it was considered priceless, as these Dragon Crystal Fruits were extremely rare in the market.
