Chapter 1608

"Whoosh, whoosh"
The broken sword, following Su Yi’s body, tore through the sky, falling straight down without hesitation. In an instant, the threatening red light vanished into thin air, along with the brilliance, bursting and dissipating in the mountains and forests.
Seen from afar, a blazing fireball, as bright as the sun, fell from the night sky, carrying an overwhelming force of moving mountains and filling the sea. It crashed towards the forests, countless sparks suddenly exploding like erupting lava, igniting wantonly, leaving terrifying burn marks wherever they passed, absolutely horrifying.
In the midst of the forest, with countless layers and the sound of waves, from the back peak of Zhongzhen peak in the howling night wind, a deathly silence filled the air. Within the lush greenery, a thunderous crashing sound reverberated through the sky.
The scorching temperature instantly rose, spreading rapidly through the forest, raging flames, bringing destruction upon the world. Like a plague, flames erupted loudly in every corner of the forest, turning the entire sky red. The dominating scent of destruction filled every nook and cranny.
"Boom!"
The blazing tongues of fire twisted and turned, creating a dense network of fire among the thick trees in an instant.
The tightly woven fire net kept moving towards the depths of the mountain, accompanied by crackling explosions everywhere, resembling the cries of countless ghosts. The burning temperature quickly stirred up ripples in the empty sky, fierce and relentless.
In the center of the fiery pit, Su Yi lay quietly in a deep hole. His hair was burnt, his body covered in open wounds, pitch black and dripping with fresh blood. The charred parts emitted wisps of black smoke. He had already lost consciousness and showed no reaction.
In no time, the spreading fire grew larger and larger. The air in the void became scorching, and flames soared high, as if challenging the heavens themselves.
Just at that moment, a noble and graceful figure emerged from the towering flames. Her snow-white, slender legs possessed perfect curves, flawless and radiant. Under the illumination of the firelight, they were extremely enticing.
Above the enveloping long skirt, there were plump and jade-like bosoms. Nestled beneath the alluring collarbone, deep within the fair and captivating skin, there lingered a hint of enchanting fragrance.
Veiled in a snowy shroud, the nameless woman had a serene gaze. As the fire breeze swept by, occasional glimpses could be caught of her snow-like cheeks.
Her jade-like feet lightly touched the air, resembling the movement of a dancer emerging from a painting. Looking down at the unconscious Su Yi below, her thin veil revealed a cold and lonely countenance, hinting at the maturity gained through experiences.
"This guy has delivered himself right to our doorstep!" the mysterious woman whispered softly.
Her eyes were filled with water and she carefully examined Su Yi. She only saw Su Yi covered in a faint shimmering golden dragon breath, with light patterns on his elbows and knees, faintly accompanied by a sweet dragon roar.
Amidst the dim light surrounding him, there was a rich and enduring aura, as if a thousand years of energy had crossed the heavens and the earth, all revealing Su Yi’s extraordinary nature.
A deep astonishment appeared in the mysterious woman’s eyes, and her cold and quiet face moved slightly, like an icy statue.
"Very well, I will take you back for now! Whether you have a destiny or not will depend on your own luck."
"Hiss!"
The nameless woman gently raised her hand, and from her sleeves, there showered down a river of ice-blue vital energy. The raging flames around Su Yi were quickly frozen, forming countless tiny crystal ice flowers. The whole world seemed to be a harmony of water and fire, incredibly mysterious.
The vital energy, godlike as it were, quickly transformed into a magnificent ice-blue ribbon as it fell to the ground. It enveloped Su Yi, who was burning hot like an iron, layer by layer, causing his body to steadily rise.
The mysterious woman gracefully turned around and headed towards the mountain named Zhongzhen behind her. At the same time, Su Yi also swiftly flew off the ground under the gentle twirl of the ribbon.
As soon as the nameless woman left, the entire forest of flames instantly extinguished, and the grass and trees in the mountains felt as if they had been doused with a basin of icy water.
Above the empty space, a chilling coldness made people shudder. In the distance, the demon beast experienced alternating bursts of cold and heat, causing them to scatter and flee in all directions.
"Roarrrr!"
Some weaker cultivators immediately fell prostrate on the ground, wailing in agony as their suffering reached a deafening howl that echoed throughout the mountain.
A resounding and heavy roar from the savage demon echoed from the back peak of Zhongzhen Peak to the front peak of Zhongzhen Peak. Elder Tong, sitting on the ground with a terrified expression in his eyes, saw the scattered rain of fire dissipating and suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood.
Jin Qianyun and Ji Feibao’s faces turned pale. They never expected such a commotion to occur. They endured the pain from their injured meridians and eagerly looked at Elder Tong.
"Elder, what should we do? The back peak of Zhongzhen Peak is on fire!"
Elder Tong’s mouth twitched slightly, and he said sternly, "Tonight, you will say that during the patrol, you found Su Yi sneaking into the grand formation in the middle of the night, then we found him, we activated the Zhongzhen formation together, and in the end, Su Yi fled to the back peak!"
"Alright!"
The two estimated that even if Su Yi managed to escape to the back peak of Zhongzhen Peak alive, causing such a huge fire alone, the Palace Master would not let him go unpunished.
"Just like that!" The two looked at each other with cold eyes.
At this time, the square was crowded with many people, including Zuo Qiufeng and Jun Haotian from the front peak of Zhongzhen peak.
"Who is it exactly! Come out!" Zuo Qiufeng stood in the center of the square, his eyes fierce, looking at the devastated square with aching heart.
It will be the Yutian Soul Race soon, and the square is the main arena. How can Zuo Qiufeng not be anxious to see it being so destroyed!
Three guilty-looking people immediately struggled and crawled to Zuo Qiufeng’s front, whispering, "Palace Master, it’s all that Su Yi!"
Following their words, the three spoke "word for word" and both Zuo Qiufeng and Jun Haotian’s expressions changed in shock.
Zuo Qiufeng carefully looked at the cracks on the ground of Zhongzhen Square, with a puzzled expression he said, "This Su Yi, who only has a cultivation level of the third rank, could actually fight against you?"
"He should be dead!" Elder Tong forced a laugh, looking embarrassed. Even his own cultivation level of the fifth rank initial stage as Soul Tamer couldn’t kill someone at the third rank initial stage. It’s pointless.
"Whether he is dead or not doesn’t matter! He has already fallen to the back peak. If Palace Master blames us, we need to come up with a foolproof plan and not let any wind leak!"
Suddenly remembering something, Jun Haotian asked, "Where is Elder Gu Yue?"
"Brother Haotian, it seems that Elder Gu Yue is not at Lingyue Peak!"
"Waiting for him to come back will be a headache. This old man is known for protecting his own people! I hope Su Yi didn’t die because of us!" Zuo Qiufeng said with a dark expression, looking at the calm mountain peak behind him, with swirling, mysterious clouds.
Afterwards, Zuo Qiufeng ordered everyone present not to speak of the matter. Within two days, restore the square!
"Master, will the Palace Master really blame us?" Jun Haotian carefully asked Zuo Qiufeng when they returned to their dwelling.
Zuo Qiufeng sighed deeply, looked around, and said, "You don’t know how long she has lived. She has a very strange temper. Back then, in the Duanmu Xiaoman…"
