Chapter 1259 - Sitting Languidly Atop the Clouds, His Sword Suppressing the Entire Region
Dust and smoke permeated the air. Meng Changyun had been flung to the ground, and his face was covered in dirt. He looked unbearably wretched.
Ancestor Jing Que gazed down at Meng Changyun and said warmly, “Martial Nephew, if you turn over a new leaf and repent in earnest when you visit the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect, you might well escape with your life. All of us would be delighted to see that.”
The crowd nodded.
“How will the rest of the sect view you now that you’ve so cruelly cast Martial Uncle Meng away?” Suddenly, an indignant roar emanated from afar.
A stalwart man in warrior robes charged over, his face ashen and his voice hoarse. “And how will outsiders view our Solar Transformation Dao Court? Who will dare come here to cultivate? You’d even trample our high elder. Aren’t you afraid of disappointing the entire sect?”
A disturbance followed these questions. The higher-ups’ expressions darkened with obvious displeasure.
“Shut your mouth,” Xue Changyi said coldly.
Whap!
Ancestor Jing Que slapped the man in warrior robes across the face. His butt hit the ground, and his face reddened and swelled.
Jing Que said coldly, “Xing Feng, any more out of you, and we’ll punish you severely!”
“I’m not afraid to die!” The man in warrior robes wiped the blood from the corners of his lips.
“You....”
Ancestor Jing Que’s eyes flashed with cold light, and he opened his mouth as if to speak.
Suddenly, a calm voice rang out. “Enough. It’s time for this farce to end. Ol’ Meng, so long as you give your approval, I’ll help you kill these people.”
This light, airy voice echoed throughout heaven and earth.
The crowd was stunned.
Meng Changyun, however, had a bitter look on his face. He said softly, “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you, Young Lord.”
“What scoundrel dares trespass in our Solar Transformation Dao Court? Hurry up and scram!” That short, fat old man in yellow bellowed, his voice booming like thunder.
“Those words are enough to warrant execution.”
That calm voice rang out once more.
A streak of sword qi silently, tracelessly exploded into being, piercing the short, fat, yellow-robed elder’s forehead.
Splurt!
The short, fat old man died, his body destroyed and his soul dispersed.
The crowd was startled, and they fled immediately.
That yellow-robed old man was one of their Profound Unity elders, an expert second only to World Kings.
Although his cultivation base was unworthy of World Kings'notice, there was no shortage of World Kings in attendance, and none of them sensed how that sword qi appeared!
“Who are you? Why are you interfering in the Solar Transformation Courtyard’s affairs?” Wen Zhixin’s expression darkened as he looked up at the clouds.
The crowd instinctively looked over. They weren’t sure when he’d gotten there, but there was now a young man in blue seated atop a snowy auspicious cloud.
His legs hung over the sides of the cloud, and he held a jug of wine. He seemed leisurely and relaxed, and beneath the light of the heavens, his handsome face seemed detached and extraordinary.
This was none other than Su Yi.
The crowd was instantly solemn.
This was Cloud Bridge Divine Mountain, the heart of the Solar Transformation Courtyard. It was covered in forty-nine layers of defensive formations.
Yet now, someone had silently slipped into their midsts and taken a seat upon a cloud!
Su Yi paid Wen Zhixin no further heed. Instead, he looked at Meng Changyun and said gently, “Ol’ Meng, have you made a decision?”
By now, who could have failed to realize that this young man in blue had come on Meng Changyun’s behalf?
“I...” Meng Changyun was just about to say something.
But then, a venerable-looking old man in white snorted coldly. “Young man, no matter who you are, you’ve trespassed in the Solar Transformation Daoist Court and committed murder. This is far too brazen!”
He then leaped into the air and reached for Su Yi. “Get down here.”
He didn’t like the look of Su Yi; this young stranger was seated on the clouds, gazing down at them from on high. Furthermore, killing the old man in yellow had enraged him.
Boom!
The terrifying power of a World King expert burst around the old man in white. With a flip of his hand, the incomparably tyrannical power of the Laws burst forth.
“An ant, that’s all. You overestimate yourself.”
Su Yi shook his head and casually pressed down.
Bang!!
The rain of light filling the sky exploded, and the white-robed elder’s surging figure trembled. A moment later, it was as if he’d been struck by a divine mountain. The impact sent him flying back, and he slammed into his original position, creating a massive creature in the ground and scattering fragments of rock.
The entire area fell silent. Everyone was astonished, and their expressions shifted dramatically.
A World King couldn’t even take a single blow?”
“Kneel there for now. We’ll see whether you live or die after Ol’ Meng makes his decision,” Su Yi said casually.
From beginning to end, he sat there casually, languid and composed.
But the way the crowd looked at him changed dramatically.
“None of you are to attack without permission!” Wen Zhixin warned the others gravely.
This young man in blue obviously had ill intentions.
It was already strange that a youngster dared trespass openly in the Solar Transformation Daoist Court’s territory.
When they watched the Heavenly-Longevity Realm white-robed elder forced to kneel in a single slap, who could have failed to realize that this young man was an extremely terrifying existence?
Even Ancestor Jing Que couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, his expression shifting and uncertain.
“Martial Uncle Meng, is this the helper you invited?” Wen Zhixin looked at Meng Changyun.
Meng Changyun disregarded him, then let out a deep sigh. He seemed to have reached a conclusion, as he lowered his head, faced Su Yi, and bowed deeply. “Young Lord, this old man doesn’t wish to make any further trouble for them.”
In his youth, he cultivated here in the Solar Transformation Dao Court. He would never have achieved his current success without their training and support.
As overcome as he was with indignation and disappointment, he couldn’t bear the thought of this place running red with rivers of blood. No matter what, to him, this was his home.
And there were numerous people he cared about here!
Su Yi nodded. Meng Changyun’s decision was perhaps surprising, but it was within the bounds of reason.
“You don’t wish to make trouble for us? Martial Nephew, what right does a traitor like you have to say such things?” Ancestor Jing Que couldn’t help but say coldly.
As he spoke, he pointed at the clouds Su Yi sat upon. “Are you relying on him? I can say with certainty that he won’t be leaving this place alive!”
His voice boomed throughout heaven and earth, his words rife with murderous intent.
Meng Changyun said expressionlessly, “Martial Uncle, I urge you to realize your mistakes. If you displease my young lord, it won’t just cost you your life. You’ll implicate everyone else here too!”
The crowd was flabbergasted. They almost dared not believe their ears.
Ancestor Jing Que’s expression darkened. “In that case, I’m truly curious to see his abilities for myself!”
He swung his sleeves through the air, and a radiant Dao Sword rose into the firmament and cleaved at Su Yi. His sword qi was as radiant as the sun, and his sword intent pierced the ten directions!
The power of a Oneness expert left many of those present astonished. The crowd was instantly excited.
But a moment later, their excited smiles froze in place.
Atop the auspicious cloud, Su Yi casually flicked his finger.
Like an immortal knocking on heaven’s gate.
That streak of sword qi as radiant as the sun shattered into pieces with a bang.
The entire area fell silent, save for a series of gasps. The crowd’s hair stood on end.
In the Solar Transformation Courtyard, the Oneness Realm Ancestor Jing Que was as powerful as it got. Even by the standards of the Thousand Opportunities Star Realm as a whole, he was a prominent World King expert!
Yet now, someone had broken his slash with a flick of their fingers. Who wouldn’t have been surprised?
“Now you try my sword,” Su Yi said with a disinterested wave.
Kcch!
A rift tore open in the sky.
A streak of sword qi flashed through the air, then disappeared without a trace.
Before the crowd realized what had happened, Ancestor Jing Que suddenly cried out in astonishment. “You... You...”
His voice started and stopped.
The crowd was shocked to discover that there was now a new line splitting his forehead.
The line continued, spreading down the bridge of his nose, his chin, throat, and chest. His entire body was like a sheet of paper someone had cut in half!
Bang!
His bisected body split down the midline. Both halves exploded, filling the air with ash.
Just like that, a Oneness Realm World King had perished!
From beginning to end, he couldn’t even fight back. A single slash cut him down!
This strange, terrifying scene left everyone overcome with panic and terror.
Even if you’d hit them over the heads, they could never have imagined that an existence like Ancestor Jing Que would lose so quickly, or so pathetically!
Sect Master Wen Zhixin stood there in a daze, his face ashen.
Just who was this young man? Why was his strength so terrifying?
“I warned you, Martial Uncle, but you refused to listen,” whispered Meng Changyun. “Why was this necessary?”
The atmosphere was stifled and deathly silent.
A wave of terror assailed the gathered higher-ups like an avalanche or tidal wave. Some of them even started quivering uncontrollably.
Especially the white-robed old man Su Yi had forced to the ground. His clothes were drenched in cold sweat, and his heart quivered.
He finally realized just how fortunate he was not to have died just now!
“Let’s go, Young Lord.” Meng Changyun didn’t want to wait any longer. He never wanted to return to the place that had hurt him so badly ever again.
They said nothing was more tragic than the death of the heart, and indeed, it was true.
No one dared attempt to stop them. In the Solar Transformation Courtyard, people like Ancestor Jing Que represented the pinnacle of strength.
Yet that slash had just cut him down on the spot.
Who’d dare attempt to stop Su Yi and Meng Changyun now?
“Wait a moment.” Su Yi suddenly looked at Xue Changyi.
Xue Changyi had been silent all this time, averting his gaze and keeping as low a profile as possible, seemingly terrified that Su Yi would notice him.
Now, when he sensed Su Yi’s gaze, he trembled from head to toe and cried out, “What do you want to do!?”
He looked overcome with fright, and he turned his head and bellowed at Wen Zhixin. “Don’t just stand there! If I die, the Solar Transformation Courtyard won’t escape blame!”
Wen Zhixin’s expression shifted.
It was true. If an elder of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect died here, they were sure to face the entire sect’s wrath.
Wen Zhixin suddenly looked at Meng Changyun, like a drowning man grasping at straws, and said bitterly, “Martial Uncle Meng, can you please convince that senior to let this end here? If an elder of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect dies.... Our Solar Transformation Courtyard... truly won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
The entire area fell deathly silent.
None of them would have guessed that their leader would beg Meng Changyun for aid!
But when they thought about it, they had no choice but to admit that he’d made the right choice. So long as Meng Changyun nodded his approval, this calamity would end here!
Meng Changyun was stunned too. He felt an indescribable sense of absurdity and grief.
Earlier, his sectmates rebuked him as a traitor. All of them longed for nothing more than the chance to deliver him to the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect for a reward.
He decided to let this go, which was quite tolerant already. Who’d have thought they’d turn around and beg for his help a moment later? They seriously wanted him to rescue someone from the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect!
Utterly ludicrous!
Su Yi couldn’t help but shake his head.
When it was time to help the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect target Meng Changyun, they showed absolutely no mercy.
But now, they wanted Meng Changyun to help save a member of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect from disaster. What a lamentable sect!
