Chapter 978: Huang Jian’s Breakthrough!
“Brothers, I have my own judgment!” Nangong Ningyue interrupted their doubts and spoke firmly.
Soon, she turned her gaze back to Su Yi.
“Okay, since you have taken the Metatarsal Soul Devouring Pill, I will grant your request!”
Su Yi nodded and looked at Nangong Ningyue, saying, “From now on, you are considered a member of the Overlord Sect. I hope you won’t let me down.”
He was not someone who went back on his word, and besides, Nangong Ningyue had taken the poisonous pill, so he had no reason to refuse her anymore.
From another perspective, Su Yi truly believed in Nangong Ningyue’s intelligence and abilities.
If he could win her loyalty, she would be a tremendous asset in the future. Even his older brother, Xi Wuqing, thought so.
“Thank you, Lord!” Nangong Ningyue finally allowed a smile to grace her face, speaking with gratitude.
“You can call me Lord or Sir in the future, but no need to say ‘Lord’ repeatedly!” Su Yi said.
“Yes, Lord!” Nangong Ningyue replied.
Soon, everyone dispersed from the main hall. Su Yi asked the Yin-yang Dark Emperor to arrange a place for Nangong Ningyue, Yuan Yi, Yuan Er, Yuan San, and the others to stay.
When the twelve members of the Cangyue Mercenary Group were alone together, Yuan Yi couldn’t hold back any longer and blurted out to Nangong Ningyue, “Captain, why…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Nangong Ningyue interrupted, “Do you all trust my judgment?”
The eleven people nodded silently. They had been following Nangong Ningyue for some time and knew of her abilities. They were convinced and trusted her judgment.
“This young man is extraordinary. I noticed him when we were being led to Sword Star City by Ran Yan!”
Nangong Ningyue slowly turned around, murmuring to herself, “He is very special!”
Through Nangong Ningyue’s explanation, Yuan Yi, Yuan Er, Yuan San, and the other ten members finally understood what she was thinking.
When they first noticed the young man, it was when the Aoka Split Heavenly Tiger roared past him, and Ran Yan insulted him. Most people would have been scared, but Su Yi remained calm and didn’t pay any attention to Ran Yan.
But at that time, Su Yi remained calm and seemed unaffected by Ran Yan at all.
Additionally, when the twelve members of the Cangyue Mercenary Group were hanged on the city wall, Nangong Ningyue, dressed in tattered clothes with partially exposed skin, attracted many lewd glances.
However, at that time, Su Yi, who happened to pass by, kept his gaze pure, without any inappropriate thoughts. This made Nangong Ningyue look at him a few more times.
It wasn’t until later, when they were rescued, that Su Yi accompanied them on their journey. When they learned that two powerful beings from the Demonic Emperor Realm revered him as their leader, everyone felt an indescribable shock.
Furthermore, they later learned that the son of the Lord of the Seven Star Sword Sect, Ran Yan, the mount Aoka Split Heavenly Tiger, and the Dharma Protector Lu had all been killed by Su Yi and Su Xiaoshuai. This was even more astonishing.
What’s more, upon their return, a Lifetaken Yama named Xi Wuqing appeared.
How could someone like him be insignificant, able to gather so many powerful individuals?
Nangong Ningyue had ample reason to believe that, given time, Su Yi could soar through the sky like a dragon, overlooking the world!
“The Overlord Sect is not yet powerful, but our joining will make a difference! This is indeed a gamble. We have entrusted our lives and fortunes to the Overlord Sect. But since we’ve made the decision, let’s stay here peacefully. I believe he will not let us down!”
Nangong Ningyue lightly parted her lips, her eyes sparkling with a peculiar radiance.
Not long after, Su Yi, Xi Wuqing, Su Xiaoshuai, the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, and others arrived at the cave in the back mountain.
Su Yi summoned a mysterious space, with the Green Emperor and Yin-yang Dark Emperor guarding outside. He then led Xi Wuqing and Su Xiaoshuai into it.
“Feng Qier…”
As they entered, a strong spiritual energy and powerful aura surrounded them all.
At the same time, they saw a slender figure sitting on the ground, full of vitality, radiating a glowing aura, looking extraordinary.
“Su Yi, elders, you’ve come!” Sensing their arrival, the figure opened its eyes and looked joyfully at Su Yi and the others.
“The little girl is impressive. She finally refined that drop of Spiritual Essence?” Xi Wuqing smiled and spoke, approaching Feng Qier and nodding repeatedly.
In his perception, it was not hard to tell that Feng Qier’s energy fluctuations were much stronger than before, which made him very pleased.
Her skills were weak, so the amount of Spiritual Essence Su Yi gave her wasn’t much, making it easier to refine.
“Thank you, senior, for your benevolence!” Feng Qier’s eyes were filled with endless gratitude as she looked at Xi Wuqing and Su Yi.
Of course, she understood that the drop of Spiritual Essence was a rare treasure, and it had been used on her.
“Don’t thank us yet. Wait until you can truly control the Disastrous Poison Soul inside your body. Then we can talk about other things!” Xi Wuqing said, his smile fading.
“Yes!” Feng Qier respectfully bowed to Xi Wuqing.
Since this senior said there was a good chance of curing her, her heart was filled with hope. Although the process might be like living in hell, Feng Qier was not afraid.
At that moment, she just wanted to live like a normal person, to live longer and repay their kindness.
“Put these matters aside for now. Later, I will take you to meet someone, and we can discuss other things then!” Su Yi stepped forward and spoke to Feng Qier.
He remembered someone—it was Feng Pu who had found this place. That boy also had a determined heart, and it was impressive how he was willing to sacrifice his life for Feng Qier.
“Golden Gryphon, Cloud-Stepping Silver Leopard, Red Wind Black-Eyed Demon Monkey.”
Su Yi turned to look at the three demon beasts in the space.
These three beasts had benefited and were now awakened, with much stronger individual energies.
“Thank you, master, for your kindness!” The three beasts bowed to Su Yi and Xi Wuqing, expressing their deep gratitude.
Golden Gryphon became Xi Wuqing’s mount, along with the Cloud-Stepping Silver Leopard and the Red Wind Black-Eyed Demon Monkey. They never imagined they would receive such great benefits!
“Huang Jian is about to break through the Yuan Emperor Realm. Judging by his momentum, he should succeed in the next day or two!” Xi Wuqing suddenly spoke slowly.
In the distance, an old man sat cross-legged, drawing the attention of everyone present.
This old man was filled with terrifying energy, surging and roaring in layers. It was a grand and overwhelming force. If not for the barrier in this space, it would have caused a dreadful disturbance in the heavens and earth.
This was his breakthrough into the Yuan Emperor Realm. If successful, the Overlord Sect would gain another imperial-level powerhouse, greatly enhancing their strength!
