Chapter 327: Man Who Returned Late, I Was Only There to Join in the Fun
Su Yi slowly landed on the ground. His emotionless eyes were like those of an a.s.sa.s.sin.
The yellow-robed old man had been killed with a single strike of his sword. Within the great void sword qi, he had also mixed in the soul-locking sword qi from the Heart Sword Technique. The yellow-robed old man could be considered to have died completely today. His soul could not even escape.
Now, looking at Sha Diao who had already been frightened to the point of incontinence, a trace of disgust appeared in Su Yi’s eyes.
It was already a miracle that a character like the sand sculpture was able to live until now.
Without much hesitation, he slashed out with his sword once again. With a flash of sword light, Sha Diao’s head was separated from his body, his face locked in a shocked expression.
At the same time, a dark purple soul-locking sword qi was struck out by him. Sha Diao’s soul was also dispersed, and he no longer had the chance to speak.
After doing all this, Su Yi heaved a sigh of relief. The domineering sword finger of the Great Void Sword had exceeded his imagination. Although the power of the Great Void Sword Qi was very small, in terms of damage, it was even more terrifying than the Tiangang Heaven-slashing Finger.
If someone were to challenge him in the future, he would definitely not be able to use this move. This was a killing move.
Su Yi looked around and found that there was a flying sword lying beside Sha Diao.
It really was the flying sword used by the yellow-robed old man. He thought for a moment and put the flying sword away. He might be able to buy it in the future and even get spirit stones.
Sensing that the surroundings had quieted down, he looked in the direction of Chen Xuan and Yue Tianming and sped away.
Su Yi did not fly in the air. The noise he made previously must have woken them up. If they found out that he was flying in the air now, there was no need to hide anything.
Therefore, he chose to walk on foot. Even so, his speed was not slow. Compared to some cultivators, it could be said that he was extremely fast.
Su Yi’s figure flashed and in a blink of an eye, and he covered the distance of a thousand meters. Sure enough, after Su Yi sped for a short while, two black shadows appeared in his line of sight. One of the black shadows carried a large sword on its back. It was obvious who these two black shadows were.
The people who came were Chen Xuan and Yue Tianming. After hearing such a huge commotion, they suddenly woke up. When they saw that Su Yi had disappeared, they thought for a moment before rushing towards the direction that caused the commotion.
When Su Yi saw the two people, his expression changed. He pretended to be extremely surprised and then met them.
“Su Yi, where did you run off to? Those who don’t know would think that you left without us.” The three of them gathered together again, and Chen Xuan did not waste any time as he asked this question.
When he heard Chen Xuan’s question, he felt that something was not right. He felt a sense of disgust. This was because this fellow, Chen Xuan, had that look of a woman who was deeply resentful. It was simply too eye-piercing.
Fortunately, Yue Tianming was more normal. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes before he asked indifferently, “Su Yi, what happened over there that is so surprising to you?”
As Yue Tianming spoke, he pointed in the direction where Su Yi had come from. It was also the direction where the movement had occurred.
Hearing this, Su Yi revealed a look of lingering fear as he slowly said, “Let me tell you, when we were still cultivating, I felt some movement over here.”
“I thought it was caused by some demon beast, so I planned to go over and take a look. However, I didn’t expect that it was actually two core formation realm experts fighting. That scene was really spectacular.”
…
Then, Su Yi rambled on and on. Finally, he said that he really could not stand the power of those two core formation realm cultivators, so he ran back.
Now, he also did not know how those two core formation realm cultivators were doing.
After he finished making up stories, his face revealed a look of longing, as if he was still recalling the core formation realm battle just now.
Yue Tianming listened and smiled. He would not believe Su Yi’s nonsense.
The only one who would believe it was probably that idiot over there.
Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Xuan by the side. He saw that Chen Xuan had already been tricked by Su Yi’s vivid narration.
He even chased after Su Yi and kept asking him about the battle between the two core formation realm experts.
This instantly made Su Yi feel as if he had dug a huge pit for himself, and he had no choice but to jump into it.
Regarding this, he could only brace himself and tell Chen Xuan about the battle scene of the core formation realm.
He spoke as if he was in the middle of it, causing Chen Xuan’s eyes to shine. Chen Xuan even said that he must step into the core formation realm and become an expert!
The two of them could only helplessly respond to him. In fact, with his age, it would not be a problem for him to reach the core formation realm. It was just a matter of time.
The three of them continued to chat and laugh as they began to travel at night.
After all, such a huge commotion had occurred. Who would be able to cultivate in peace?
It would be better to head to Canglan City earlier and feel at ease.
…
Xuanyang City–
In an old mansion, an old man held two jade pendants in his hands. His eyes were extremely red, and even his entire body was trembling.
This old man was the Sha family’s patriarch, Sha Yuan.
The jade pendants in his hands were precisely the things that engraved his second brother’s and his son’s life flames.
Not long ago, his second brother’s life flames suddenly extinguished, and soon after, his son’s life flames were extinguished as well.
He held the life-fire jade pendant that was already slightly cold in his hand. His bloodshot eyes revealed a sorrowful expression.
He, Sha Yuan, married late. Other than his daughter, he only had a son, Sha Diao.
Sha Diao was the only heir of his Sha family. Although his cultivation base was high, he was already very old. It was already impossible for him to have s.e.x.
Therefore, he doted on Sha Diao in every way possible. This was why he slowly developed Sha Diao’s lawless character.
So what! That was his only son. What did the others have to do with him?
Sha Yuan held back the tears that were about to fall. He looked at his wife who was sitting on a chair and crying bitterly. His voice was as if it had fallen into an extremely cold ice cave. He shouted coldly in a low voice.
“Men!”
As soon as he gave the order, a servant immediately came in front of him. He half knelt down and waited for his order as the family head.
He saw Sha Yuan draw on a piece of paper towel before stuffing it into an envelope.
“Bring the letter to the young miss of the Spirit Firmament Sect.”
After the servant received the envelope, he respectfully took his leave, afraid that the furious family head would implicate him in his anger.
At this moment, Sha Yuan once again let out a low shout, but his voice could not help but tremble. “Men! Follow me to the Dense Fog Forest and search for the murderer!”
After saying that, Sha Yuan turned around and pulled his wife into his embrace, his gaze looking in the direction of the Dense Fog Forest.
He muttered word by word. “Dear wife, please be at ease. No matter what price I have to pay for the murder of Diao’er, I will not let any of them off!”
