Chapter 852: Young Man, You Are Setting Yourself Up for Failure!

When these words echoed more clearly throughout the entire venue and reached everyone’s ears, the boisterous cheers gradually subsided into silence.

Many people were astonished, knowing that Su Yi had killed numerous disciples of Sacred Mountain. The grudge between him and Sacred Mountain was irreconcilable. If Su Yi went to Sacred Mountain, would he truly obtain great opportunities, or did Sacred Mountain harbor other intentions and merely wish to bring him back? Once they reached Sacred Mountain, it might not necessarily mean gaining opportunities, but rather facing punishment.

Many gazes instantly fell upon Su Yi, wondering whether he would be willing to journey to Sacred Mountain.

The powerful elders from the five sects and three gates, along with the formidable individuals from Divine Sword School and Yutian Palace, wore complicated expressions.

Bing Fu, Wang Quande, Kuang Guilan, and others all fixed their stares on Su Yi.

Kuang Guilan, Wang Quande, and the others, in particular, directed resentful and cold gazes toward Su Yi, yet they dared not speak out in Elder Saint Fire’s presence.

Elder Saint Fire’s gaze settled upon Su Yi, appearing serene and composed. However, the fluctuations deep within his eyes couldn’t conceal the turmoil in his heart at this moment.

This young man had defeated Nanan Ruyu with merely a cultivation level of Yuan True Realm. He didn’t even need to witness such a battle to recognize how formidable this young man before him was.

“I have no interest in going to Sacred Mountain.”

Under everyone’s scrutiny, Su Yi looked at Elder Saint Fire and shook his head.

Su Yi was not foolish enough to go to Sacred Mountain. Upon arriving there, he might become merely a pawn in someone else’s schemes.

“Young man, you possess exceptional talent and tremendous potential. But do not make the error of underestimating yourself. Journeying to Sacred Mountain will greatly benefit you!”

Elder Saint Fire’s eyes flickered as he spoke with a resonant voice that penetrated deeply into people’s hearts.

Su Yi could sense an inexplicable heat pressing against him, as if the air around him was solidifying. His skin tingled with the sensation of intense heat, and even his inner strength and soul were affected. It was pressure emanating from a superior level of cultivation.

“The Saint Child of Sacred Mountain was defeated by me. There is no need for me to visit your Sacred Mountain!”

Su Yi’s gaze grew stern. Elder Saint Fire was an utterly terrifying opponent, but that no longer mattered. Today, there was no room for clemency.

“Nanan Ruyu was defeated due to his arrogance. It was a lesson he deserved. Moreover, Nanan Ruyu cannot truly represent the entire younger generation of our Sacred Mountain.”

Elder Saint Fire regarded Su Yi, his voice unchanged. After a brief pause, he continued in a measured tone, “Young man, with your extraordinary talent, if you were to cultivate at Sacred Mountain for a period, you might become the foremost young cultivator in the entire Central Region in the near future.”

“I am currently ranked first in the Saint Martial Assembly. Is that not sufficient? Why should I go to Sacred Mountain!”

Su Yi shook his head and met Elder Saint Fire’s gaze, saying, “Perhaps one day, I shall visit Sacred Mountain, but not now.”

“Young man, you are mistaken!”

Elder Saint Fire fixed his stare upon Su Yi, his voice growing sharper and reverberating in Su Yi’s ears like thunder. An invisible wave of intense heat suddenly bore down upon Su Yi, causing his skin to burn and his soul to tremble. His vitality was severely affected, nearly causing Su Yi to collapse.

This was Elder Saint Fire’s warning, and Su Yi’s response had clearly displeased him.

“Boom!”

However, at that instant, the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique activated within Su Yi’s body, and the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul fluctuated in his mind, dispelling the oppressive force.

Almost simultaneously, an invisible energy surged forth and enveloped Su Yi. This energy resembled a gentle breeze, instantly dispersing all the pressure surrounding him.

“Elder Saint Fire, according to the rules of the Saint Martial Assembly, if Su Yi does not wish to go to Sacred Mountain to cultivate, he need not do so. There is no need for coercion!”

As the energy swept over him, Palace Master Gu Yue materialized beside Su Yi. With a benevolent smile, he regarded Elder Saint Fire, his eyes betraying a hint of defiance.

“If the champion of the Saint Martial Assembly is not a disciple of Sacred Mountain, then there will be an opportunity to practice with the Saint Child holy maiden of Sacred Mountain, provided both Sacred Mountain and Su Yi agree.”

Elder Saint Fire looked at Palace Master Gu Yue, smiled faintly, and his eyes shimmered with ripples, like dancing flames.

“In that case, if Su Yi does not wish to go to Sacred Mountain, he need not do so!”

Old Man Gu Yue remarked, with slight puzzlement crossing his rosy face. He knew Saint Fire’s temperament, yet Saint Fire seemed to be behaving peculiarly today. How could he be so amenable?

Even the powerful elders of the Five Sects and Three Gates and other major forces were surprised. They had initially thought that after Elder Saint Fire’s arrival, he would not relent so easily. Yet now it appeared that Elder Saint Fire was unexpectedly agreeable, and even if Su Yi had killed Chu Changhuan and others, they would not pursue the matter.

“Indeed, he need not go.”

Elder Saint Fire nodded at Palace Master Gu Yue, his eyes briefly filled with warmth. But soon, this warmth gradually faded and vanished from his gaze. His expression suddenly turned sharp, and after a moment’s pause, his voice thundered, “However, within the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm, Su Yi unleashed a killing spree, slaying our Sacred Mountain disciples Chu Changhuan, Mo Baiming, and others. This must be answered for to Sacred Mountain!”

“Hoo…”

The entire chamber trembled, and everyone exchanged glances. Indeed, Sacred Mountain was not going to let the matter rest.

The powerful elders from the Five Sects and Three Schools exchanged meaningful looks. Elder Saint Fire’s arrival was not surprising, but they hadn’t expected him to yield so readily at first. Initially, he had attempted to persuade Su Yi gently, but Su Yi appeared impervious to such approaches.

“Elder Saint Fire, everyone witnessed this incident firsthand, and there are numerous witnesses. It was the disciples of Sacred Mountain who laid the trap to ambush Su Yi first, but unfortunately, their strength proved insufficient and they met their end. It seems that Sacred Mountain must provide an explanation to everyone in the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm!”

Palace Master Gu Yue’s words grew more forceful. An invisible aura emanated from his aged figure, flickering with a dim light and surging with power.

This was a matter of principle. Today, regardless of what transpired, Yutian Palace would stand firmly behind Su Yi.

“If it is indeed true that Chu Changhuan employed the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman, then Sacred Mountain will naturally provide an explanation. As for whether Sacred Mountain disciples set the trap, we shall investigate thoroughly. If there are witnesses, then let us bring Su Yi back to Sacred Mountain together. There will certainly be a resolution.”
