Chapter 853: Su Kuangge, What Are Your Intentions?
Elder Saint Fire’s words echoed out, his eyes flickering like dancing flames as he cast intentional or unintentional glances at Xu Chen and Flame Scale. Through Bing Fu’s message, he knew these two young men had caught his attention.
Sensing Elder Saint Fire’s gaze, Xu Chen and Flame Scale’s pupils contracted slightly. This old fellow had actually set his sights on them.
The powerful elders from the Five Sects and Three Schools exchanged glances with various expressions on their faces.
Everyone knew that Sacred Mountain was obviously trying to get Su Yi’s attention. Xu Chen and Flame Scale were behaving remarkably, just like troublemakers. It was clear that even they didn’t want to let this opportunity slip away.
“Hahaha!”
Palace Master Gu Yue laughed loudly and stared directly at Elder Saint Fire. Suddenly, his expression turned serious and his words grew cold as he said, “Saint Fire, don’t think that your scheming goes unnoticed. If you want to investigate, go ahead. Su Yi doesn’t need to ascend Sacred Mountain with you. As a disciple of my Yutian Palace, he can await you here instead.”
“Gu Yue, don’t forget that this is the Central Region. Su Yi is merely having his soul quality tested at your Yutian Palace. He cannot truly be considered a disciple of your Yutian Palace. There are some things you should understand. The name Yutian Palace doesn’t grant you license to act recklessly.”
Elder Saint Fire stared back at Palace Master Gu Yue, his eyes filled with flickering flames and fierce determination.
Gu Yue’s eyes narrowed. He understood well the relationship between Sacred Mountain and Yutian Palace. There existed an invisible line between the two, and none dared to truly cross it. Su Yi had only been tested at Yutian Palace, and if he thought to confront Sacred Mountain head-on merely because of that, he might provide Sacred Mountain an opportunity to exploit. He might not gain any advantage in the end.
“Su Yi, if you are willing to join my Yutian Palace now and become a true disciple, no one will be able to harm even a single hair on your head.”
Suddenly, Palace Master Gu Yue turned to Su Yi and asked, expectation gleaming in his eyes, “If Su Yi truly joins Yutian Palace, then even if Sacred Mountain refuses to yield, Yutian Palace can openly confront them until the end.”
“Gu Yue, don’t overstep!”
Elder Saint Fire’s expression grew grave, his eyes filled with concern. If Su Yi truly became an official disciple of Yutian Palace, the situation would become genuinely troublesome. As he spoke, a vast and scorching breath swept through the surrounding space like a storm, causing even Palace Master Gu Yue’s aged face to turn serious.
“Saint Fire, today I, Su Yi, have received the protection of Yutian Palace!”
Palace Master Gu Yue’s face darkened as he stepped forward to shield Su Yi. A powerful aura suddenly burst forth from his body, causing the surrounding space to tremble and the air to become turbulent with soul-shaking pressure.
“Boom!”
Almost simultaneously, Elder Guan Lan, Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu, Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding, and other powerful elders stepped forward, releasing their own auras that stirred the turbulent void.
Seeing the auras emanating from Palace Master Gu Yue and the other strong members of Yutian Palace, Elder Saint Fire was moved. However, he seemed resolute in his decision. With a cold smile, he clenched his hand, and in an extremely swift motion, blazing heat erupted from the surrounding space. A massive fireball, like a meteor falling from the heavens, rushed toward Palace Master Gu Yue.
Palace Master Gu Yue’s expression turned solemn as he waved his hand, causing the space to twist and form a large void light barrier, blocking the incoming inferno.
“Attack!”
Almost immediately, a group of powerful individuals from Sacred Mountain, who had prepared themselves secretly, sprang into action.
“Boom…”
A burst of energy erupted instantly, as Ouyang Yuanfeng and Kuang Guilan moved in unison.
More than ten figures flew forth, connecting invisibly, their handprints condensing, encompassing a group of strong people from Yutian Palace, including the Green Emperor and Xi Wuqing.
“No, they’re targeting Su Yi!”
Guan Lan, the Deputy Palace Master, shouted as he immediately discerned Sacred Mountain’s purpose.
“Protect Su Yi quickly!”
The eyes of each powerful person within Yutian Palace sharpened with anger in their shouts, including Xi Wuqing and the Green Emperor. Instantly, bursts of energy exploded as they rushed toward the encirclement to break through and protect Su Yi.
“Boom!”
Everything collided together, causing the entire void to explode like thunder, with terrifying energy winds spreading wildly.
“Click clack…”
The vast square below exploded repeatedly, huge ravines opened up, and even the golden boulder cracked with numerous fissures.
“Young one, why not accompany me to Sacred Mountain?”
Before Su Yi, the space suddenly filled with a chilling aura. The distorted void trembled as Bing Fu’s figure materialized, wearing a cold smile. A giant handprint reached directly toward Su Yi.
Bing Fu had prepared well, and everything at Sacred Mountain was arranged in advance. They intended to capture Su Yi directly, preventing Yutian Palace from causing trouble. With Su Yi captured and Elder Saint Fire present, Gu Yue and the others from Yutian Palace would be powerless to create significant waves.
The invisible icy aura spread, nearly freezing Su Yi’s vitality and soul. This force was too overwhelming for Su Yi to resist.
Su Yi’s gaze changed dramatically in horror. He couldn’t possibly withstand this level of power.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, as his soul froze, waves stirred in Su Yi’s mind, and the fiery aura of his Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul emerged, dispersing the ice.
Simultaneously, the mysterious glowing mass in Su Yi’s mind burst forth with brilliant light, releasing powerful energy throughout his body, driving away the freezing cold.
“If he refuses, then your insistence on Sacred Mountain is futile!”
Just as the situation grew critical, a cold, sharp voice rang out, and the bone-chilling aura before Su Yi suddenly paused, gradually dissipating.
“Swoosh…”
A slender figure appeared behind Su Yi, one hand clenched into a fist, directly colliding with Bing Fu’s handprint.
“Boom!”
The impact shook the earth, the void trembled, and even the golden boulder quivered intensely, its numerous cracks widening.
“Pitter-patter…”
The slender figure took a step back, stabilizing their stance, while Bing Fu was forced back onto the golden boulder.
Bing Fu stumbled, noting the many cracks in the ground. He observed a thin figure suddenly appearing before him, and his expression changed. He immediately called out, “Su Kuangge, what are your intentions at the Divine Sword School?”
“I said, if he refuses, we cannot force him at Sacred Mountain!”
The thin figure spoke calmly, sounding like a child of eight or nine years. Yet at this moment, an unimaginable, terrifying aura emanated from within, and their eyes gleamed like flashing swords.
