BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1026 - True Ferocity!
However, he wasn’t at all delighted to have been saved. Rather, he seemed panicked and frantic.
He used all of the energy he had left, just to tell Su Yi to run away!
Su Yi’s heart shook, and he whispered, “I’ve come back, so the heavens… won’t fall.”
With that, he took out a pill and slipped it into the Xia Emperor’s mouth. Then, his hands formed seals as he used a secret art to stabilize the Xia Emperor’s life force.
“Rest for now. I’ll get you out of here,” said Su Yi as he placed the emperor onto his back.
The Xia Emperor’s lips quivered. He started to speak, but stopped. He suddenly thought back to everything Su Yi had done on the Azure Continent.
Back then, no matter how great the danger or how terrifying their enemies, Su Yi always managed to turn the tides and quell the wind and waves.
Now, this young man reminiscent of a banished immortal had returned. Could he still turn things around?
The Xia Emperor looked lost.
This time, his heart wavered. Their enemies were just too terrifying!
Whoosh!
Su Yi shot forward, taking directly to the skies.
When the cultivators exploring the rubble saw this, they couldn’t help but feel bewildered. That young man… seriously plans to leave with the Xia Emperor? Who is he? Why is he risking his life to save the emperor?
As doubts arose in their hearts, a cold voice rang out. “Days have passed, but we finally waited long enough for a kid unafraid of death to show up!”
This voice went off like a thunderclap, reverberating throughout the skies above the wreckage of Mount Heavenbristle.
Everyone shuddered from head to toe and looked toward the source of the voice.
There, they saw a radiant arc of purple shoot through the skies and transform into a middle-aged man in purple robes. He gazed down from beneath the dome of heaven.
Meanwhile, similar beams of light shot over from other directions. Each transformed into a cultivator, and the group sealed Su Yi’s escape routes off completely.
“It’s the experts of that mysterious faction!”
“So, they’ve been lying in wait this entire time. The Xia Emperor was just bait!”
Uproar arose throughout the ruins. The cultivators searching for treasure were terrified. All of them stopped what they were doing and fled into the distance.
Terror and dread were written all over their faces.
Su Yi watched from the sky. He swept his calm gaze across this group, and his expression didn’t so much as ripple.
A group of Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators, that’s all. There was no sign of any Emperors.
“Ee?” When he saw Su Yi clearly, the purple-robed man blocking the way ahead seemed to realize something. He waved his sleeves and took out a scroll.
There was a young man depicted on it. He was dressed in blue, and his hands were behind his back.
It looked just like Su Yi.
“So, it’s you!!” The middle-aged man in purple put away the scroll, and he suddenly looked excited. His hawklike gaze locked onto the distant Su Yi, and he burst into laughter. “So, it’s you, you little bastard!”
Little bastard?
Everyone present was bewildered. Was that mysterious faction waiting to capture that young man this whole time?
And the cultivators who’d appeared alongside the man in purple seemed to understand something. They perked up too, and all of them looked excited.
Their target was finally here.
“Quick, run!” the Xia Emperor said frantically. His expression was full of hatred, as well as deep-seated worry.
“Run? Don’t even think about it!” The distant middle-aged man in purple grinned and said leisurely, “Little bastard, I urge you to be good and cooperate. Come with us, or else, the consequences will surely be more than you can bear! If you don’t believe me, have a look at this!”
As he spoke, he took out a talisman and circulated his cultivation base. The talisman silently lit up, and a curtain of light surged into the air.
The curtain of light reflected three scenes——
The first was of a gray-haired elder standing in the air. One casual swing of his saber brought all of the ten-thousand-foot Mount Heavenbristle crashing down.
The boundless saber qi was like a blazing flood. It enveloped the mountain, and countless people lost their lives in the flaming sea, unable to escape in time.
Even their souls dissipated.
When he saw this, the Xia Emperor’s expression filled with agony, and his eyes bulged as if about to pop. Tears streamed down his cheeks.
This was a vision of the destruction of Mount Heavenbristle, as well as the annihilation of much of the imperial family!
Su Yi’s gaze remained outwardly indifferent.
The second scene reflected densely packed cages. Numerous people were confined inside.
They included the elderly servants of the Xia Emperor, like Weng Jiu and Sui Tianqi, as well as some of the prominent members of the imperial family. Most of these faces were unfamiliar to Su Yi.
Still, it wasn’t difficult to guess that all of them were from the imperial family!
The third scene reflected just two cages.
One contained a tall, stalwart man covered in wounds. He lay on the ground, his face was pale as a sheet of paper.
A young woman in white sat in the other cage. Her hair was disheveled, and it covered her face. Her white clothing was stained with blood, and she looked listless and dispirited.
Su Yi’s pupils instantly constricted.
Yuan Heng and Wen Xinzhao!!
Whoosh~
The curtain of light receded, and the man in purple put away the talisman and laughed. “Little bastard, as you can see, if you don’t want them to die, you’d best come with us. Our family head said that he guarantees their lives so long as you cooperate.”
He spoke slowly, with the air of one assured of his victory.
The cultivators throughout the surrounding skies laughed coldly along.
Those watching from the ground felt chills course through their hearts as they realized that this mysterious faction had laid ruin to Nine Tripod City and flattened the imperial family all for the sake of capturing that young man in blue!
“Every debt has its debtor. If you’d come after me directly, that\'d be one thing, but you… just had to go and do this…” said Su Yi. He spoke flatly, without the slightest ripple of emotion. “Now, you have to die. As for the faction behind you? I’ll naturally have to rip it up by the roots!”
Silence greeted this declaration.
Formless, ferocious murderous intent silently permeated the skies.
The cultivators scattered across the ground shuddered as chills coursed down their spines.
The middle-aged man in purple was stunned. Then, his expression shifted. “You… you don’t care about their lives!?”
Su Yi said softly, “In all my days of cultivation, I’ve never concerned myself with such threats. If they die, I’ll just have to avenge them.”
The purple-robed middle-aged man’s expression darkened, and he suddenly bellowed, “There’s something not right about that boy. Quick, capture him!”
The cultivators throughout the surrounding skies attacked without hesitation.
Boom!
Magic treasures took to the skies, and firelight ran rampant.
Su Yi didn’t even stop to look at it. He just swung his sleeves, and the treasures filling the sky exploded, while the various secret arts fell apart.
And a full thirteen cultivators subsequently exploded, their bodies reduced to ash.
It was just a single swing of his sleeves, as if he were sweeping away dust or crushing ants.
This terrifying, tyrannical scene immediately astonished everyone present.
“This…”
“My heavens!”
The distant onlookers were practically struck dumb. They were overcome with astonishment.
They could only gaze upon the experts of this mysterious faction from afar. They could in no way afford to offend them.
Yet now, someone had just slain thirteen of them with a single wave of his sleeves!”
“You…” The purple-robed middle-aged man’s expression changed dramatically. He was so startled that his soul practically left its body.
He’d been on guard from the moment he first recognized Su Yi.
Because he’d long since heard tales of Su Yi’s exploits. He knew how terrifying the young man’s combat prowess was.
That was why he’d resorted to threats right from the start. He hoped to use the hostages in his favor.
Who’d have thought that Su Yi would disregard his threats completely!?
Boom!
Without waiting for the purple-robed man’s response, Su Yi stretched out his hand and grabbed him from afar, as if he were holding a chicken by the throat. A moment later, the purple-robed man was dangling right in front of him.
“Don’t kill me!!!” he shrieked in terror.
Bang!
His body exploded into pieces, and the scattered chunks of flash turned into ash and disintegrated.
And Su Yi grabbed his soul.
To the onlookers, the middle-aged man in purple was an incomparably terrifying existence, but now, he couldn’t even struggle, let alone fight back!
“Killing an ant like you will be far from sufficient to vent my fury, but that doesn’t matter. Once I’ve learned what happened here, I’ll naturally pay the faction behind you a visit,” said Su Yi, his gaze cold and indifferent as looked at the middle-aged man’s soul.
The middle-aged man gave in to terror and despair, and his will completely collapsed. “Little bastard! You’re sure to die a horrible death!”
Boom!
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he felt a rending pain in his soul as a terrifying divine sense invaded it.
A moment later, Su Yi withdrew his divine sense, his expression shifting erratically.
He finally understood.
The experts that destroyed Nine Tripod City and crushed Mount Heavenbristle actually hailed from the Ye Family!
The faction they said encompassed all hundred thousand feet of Kunwu Mountain, the hegemons of the Mysterious Blue Realm!
The situation was actually quite simple.
It all began with Su Yi’s mother, Ye Yufei. She was a main-branch descendant of the Ye Family. As her son, Su Yi was qualified to inherit their Ancestral Origin Divine Canon.
Her older brother—that is, Su Yi’s uncle, Ye Yunlan—had discussed that very matter with him during his time in the Azure Continent.
Ye Yunlan visited hoping to bring Su Yi back to the Ye Family. He planned to do everything he could to ensure that Su Yi inherited that stroke of good fortune.
But to his surprise, the Ye Family sent its experts in a bid to destroy Su Yi, only to fail in the end.
Even the leading figure of their younger generation, Ye Xiao, died at Su Yi’s hands.
This was the beginning of their grudge against him!
Su Yi already knew that his mother had only come to the Azure Continent in the first place due to her clansmen’s plots.
He’d also promised Ye Yunlan that he’d visit the Ye Family sooner or later, both to get justice for his mother and to help Ye Yunlan inherit the Ancestral Origin Divine Canon in her stead.
But at the time, Su Yi didn’t feel much hatred for the Ye Family. He simply planned to settle the score with the old-timers who’d screwed his mother over.
But now, he was thoroughly enraged.
From the purple-robed man’s memories, he learned that the Ye Family was acting on the family head’s orders, and that they’d even sent an Emperor!
They’d used every possible advantage to capture Su Yi. After arriving in the Azure Continent, they started targeting and capturing those connected to him.
The destruction of Nine Tripod City, the fall of Mount Heavenbristle, as well as Yuan Heng and Wen Xinzhao’s imprisonment. The Ye Family was behind it all!
Seth\'s Thoughts
Note from Xiao Jinyu. Sounds like readers have been giving him a hard time, aha
ps: Su Yi’s enmity with the Kunwu Mountain Ye Family was described in detail in chapter 720.
Some of my readers guessed that this was the work of Su Yi’s disciple, Pi Mo, but that obviously isn’t possible. After all, as Su Yi’s disciple, Pi Mo ought to understand better than anyone that such treats are useless against him.
Also, if Su Yi can suppress his cultivation boundary and enter the Azure Continent, Ye Family Emperors naturally can do it too.
In prior chapters, there were Imperial talismans and treasures. They can unleash Imperial-level power just like Emperors can. This really wasn’t a bug.
