Chapter 41, The Holy Land of Yao Guang Attacks! [Please Read On!]
The Li family residence is located on the east side of the town.
Su Ye scanned the area with his divine sense and found four cultivators inside the house, the strongest of whom was only close to the Life Spring Realm.
With such limited resources, they dare to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the town.
He pushed open the door, and before the two guards could react, they were dead.
The main hall was brightly lit, and the current head of the Li family was drinking with his two concubines, while the table was a mess.
When Su Ye stepped across the threshold, he thought it was some ignorant servant and was about to reprimand him when a purple palm print landed on his chest.
There were no screams.
The head of the Li family stared blankly down at the transparent hole in his chest, then fell backward.
The screams of the two concubines woke up the entire mansion.
The remaining cultivators rushed out from all directions, their skulls pierced by sword energy before their magical artifacts even left their bodies.
Before an incense stick could burn, the courtyard fell silent.
This kind of scumbag family is only a menace to be kept around.
Su Ye glanced at the mess in the courtyard, then turned and went out.
On the way back to the restaurant, it was almost dusk.
Su Ye had just passed through a grove of trees when he heard the sound of hooves ahead.
These are a group of strange beasts!
The banners fluttered in the wind, with a large character embroidered on them: Jiang.
The ancient and powerful Jiang family.
One of them was a young man around twenty years old, dressed in fine clothes and with a jade belt, his brows and eyes filled with the arrogance unique to scions of noble families.
He had only glanced at it casually, but his eyes fell on Su Ye.
"Stop!"
Jiang Yichen stared intently at Su Ye, his pupils slightly contracting.
It's that rogue cultivator in the blue and white Taoist robe outside the Qingdi Tomb!
Legend has it that the Daoist scripture, in its chapter on the Sea of Wheels, flew into this person's sea of suffering, and that the Emperor's heart also resided in this person.
He had seen the portrait of the clan's intelligence officer more than once.
"It's you!"
Jiang Yichen suddenly shouted in front of him, "Yifei! Caixuan! It's him!"
"That human rogue cultivator who stole the 'Daoist Scripture: The Sea of Wheels' and the Demon Emperor's Heart from in front of the Azure Emperor's tomb!"
Jiang Yifei has a handsome face and a calm demeanor.
His cultivation level was far superior to Jiang Yichen's. When his gaze fell on Su Ye, there was no hostility, but there was also no contempt.
Jiang Caixuan, wearing a light blue dress, has an oval face and delicate features; she looks about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Her gaze toward Su Ye was filled with undisguised scrutiny and curiosity.
These days, the most talked-about name in the Eastern Wilderness is this rogue cultivator.
Jiang Yichen couldn't wait any longer. He raised his chin and commanded, "Jiang family knights, heed my command!"
"Capture this person!"
The next moment, the eight knights simultaneously activated their beasts, their auras bursting forth, and eight magical artifacts flew out from their respective seas of suffering.
Flying swords, bronze bells, iron halberds, and golden nets blocked all escape routes in all directions.
Jiang Yifei frowned, but it was too late to stop him.
Su Ye's eyes turned cold.
They were just knights and their followers from the Other Shore of the Divine Bridge, yet they dared to attack him.
The next moment, purple divine power condensed into a palm print in his palm and he casually slapped it out.
boom!
The eight magical artifacts shattered simultaneously, and the fragments flew back and pierced through their master's armor.
Eight knights, along with their beasts, were sent flying and died instantly.
There was a moment of silence.
Jiang Yichen's face changed from red to white, and then from white to green.
"You...you dare kill someone from my Jiang family?!"
His voice cracked.
"Do you even know what the Jiang family is?!"
Su Ye withdrew her hand, glanced at him, and said coldly, "Killed him then."
"What are you going to do?"
Jiang Yichen had always been pampered wherever he went since he was a child, and had never suffered such humiliation before.
His face flushed red, and the aura of the Dao Palace Secret Realm erupted.
A divine bronze furnace flew out from the sea of suffering, growing rapidly in the wind until it became the size of a small mountain in the blink of an eye. Divine flames spewed from its mouth and pressed down on Su Ye.
"Die!"
Instead of retreating, Su Ye advanced, channeling all the divine power of the fourth level of the Dao Palace into his right fist.
The innate Dao embryo stirred the heavens and earth, and the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred feet was sucked into a vacuum by this punch.
The fist imprint struck the divine furnace.
Boom!
The bronze furnace flew out like it was made of paper, its surface covered with cracks.
The aftershock of the punch struck Jiang Yichen in the chest, sending him flying backward. Blood and foam gushed from his mouth as he lost consciousness.
Jiang Caixuan covered her mouth.
Jiang Yifei's pupils contracted, and a storm raged in his heart.
Information from a few months ago stated that this person was only at the second level of the Dao Palace, but the sheer power of that punch just now was almost at the level of the Four Extremes.
He broke through two realms in a few months and still maintained the combat strength of four forbidden realms.
Such a cultivation speed is unheard of even among ancient aristocratic families.
"This person is dangerous; we cannot defeat him by force."
Jiang Yifei took a deep breath, stepped forward, but did not show any hostility.
He disliked Jiang Yichen's usual behavior, but as a member of the Jiang family, he could not sit idly by and watch his clansmen be killed before his eyes.
"Was your attack too ruthless, fellow Daoist?"
Jiang Yifei said in a deep voice, "The Jiang family is not unreasonable. If you are willing to give up..."
"If he wants to kill me, I will kill him."
Su Ye calmly withdrew his fist: "If the Jiang family wants revenge, I'll accept it."
The Jiang family wouldn't go so far as to harm a junior with mediocre talent, and besides, Jiang Yichen and his elders don't represent the entire Jiang family.
Jiang Yifei remained silent for a moment.
He could tell that this person wasn't just being sarcastic; he genuinely didn't care.
They didn't care about the Jiang family's prestige, nor about the revenge of the ancient aristocratic families.
Just then, a sound of something breaking through the air came from the horizon.
A beam of holy light streaked across the distant horizon.
The holy light paused above everyone's heads, then transformed into a gray-haired old man and descended.
The old man wore a moon-white robe with the emblem of the Yao Guang Holy Land embroidered on his chest.
His body was surrounded by holy light like flames, and the air around him seemed to freeze the moment he landed.
Dragon Transformation Eighth Heaven!
Jiang Yifei and Jiang Caixuan's expressions changed slightly, and they simultaneously cupped their hands and said, "Jiang family juniors greet Senior Yaoguang."
Elder Yaoguang nodded and smiled, saying, "So you are a talent from the Jiang family."
"How are the elders of your Jiang family?"
"Thank you for your concern, elders. All the elders in the clan are well."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Elder Yaoguang turned his gaze to Su Ye.
A glint of light flashed in his cloudy old eyes, like a seasoned hunter scrutinizing his prey.
He looked Su Ye up and down, then smiled.
"Young friend, I've been looking for you for a long time."
Su Ye's expression remained unchanged, but he was already on high alert.
"What business does the senior have with me?"
Elder Yaoguang's smile grew even more amiable as he said, "Young friend, you possess a great treasure, making you an enemy on all sides. Wherever you go, you will be the target of everyone's attacks."
"Instead of hiding everywhere, it's better to find a powerful backer."
"Come back to the Holy Land of Yao Guang with me, and my Holy Land will do its utmost to nurture you."
"With your talent, Sendai has a bright future ahead of you!"
He spoke casually, as if promising a sure-fire deal when he uttered the word "Sendai."
Su Ye sneered inwardly.
Yao Guang Holy Land?
That's the place that the entire Beidou Holy Land family absolutely cannot go.
The Devouring Heaven Demon Art is a forbidden technique created by the Ruthless Great Emperor, which devours the essence of others and converts it for one's own use.
The Holy Son of Yaoguang rose to power through this method, and the higher-ups of Yaoguang Holy Land were well aware of this, even secretly supporting him.
If we recruit him today, tomorrow the Daoist scriptures and the Emperor's heart on his body will be changed to Yao Guang.
Is Sendai on the horizon?
Once nothing but bones and fragments are swallowed up, what use is Sendai?
Su Ye gave a faint smile and said, "I appreciate your kind offer, senior."
"However, I'm used to being carefree and can't stand being bound by the rules."
"I won't bother with the gates of the Yao Guang Holy Land."
Elder Yaoguang's smile faded slightly.
The air suddenly felt heavy.
"Young friend, won't you reconsider?"
There was an imperceptible pressure in his tone as he said, "The Eastern Wilderness is vast, but there aren't many places that can protect you..."
How far I go is my business; I don't need you to worry about it.
Su Ye met his gaze.
Eyes facing each other.
Elder Yaoguang remained silent, but the aura of a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator silently pressed down upon him.
Jiang Caixuan's face paled, and Jiang Yifei's expression grew increasingly grave.
