Chapter 1429 - Void Realm True Immortals, a Beautiful Figure
The stick-thin Daoist gripped a bone flute, and his gaze was distant and gloomy.
Despite their starkly different appearances, all of them had auras far beyond the other immortal revenants present. Even just standing there casually, their presences bore down on their surroundings, making the sky quiver on all sides.
Like the descent of three sovereigns!
The yellow dog’s eyes flashed, its gaze uncharacteristically solemn.
“How could existences of their level possibly have re-entered the world?” Mo Xinglin was visibly stricken, and a chill coursed down his spine.
He recognized the three of them. In life, all three had been Void Realm True Immortals!
That was a realm far beyond any of the other immortal revenants present.
In the Immortal Realm, only those immortals who’d reached the Void Realm were qualified to call themselves “True Immortals.”
But it should have been far too early for such experts to re-enter the world. The loftier and more terrifying one’s cultivation, the more terrifying the restriction of the Laws.
Despite this, three Void Realm True Immortals had appeared today!
Mo Xinglin instantly realized that this didn’t bode well, and his heart sank.
In stark contrast, Feng Jinghai, Lu Dongqiu, and the others sighed in relief.
“Many thanks for coming to our aid, Seniors!” Feng Jinghai said gratefully.
The red-robed man waved their gratitude away. “Step back for now.”
He then fixed his gaze on Su Yi and said with cold indifference, “Young man, stop here and offer up the secrets of reincarnation. Do so, and I’ll permit you to leave here alive.”
This wasn’t a discussion. It was an order!
As if he were a sovereign ordering an incontrovertible decree!
The stick-thin Daoist said warmly, “My young friend, reconciliation is better than conflict. You’ve already killed so many today, but it isn’t too late to change course. We three old-timers have no grudge against you. Offer up the power of reincarnation as compensation, and this incident can end peacefully.”
The middle-aged man with the curly beard said nothing. He just stared coldly at Su Yi, his gaze sharp, as if he were judging a criminal.
Heaven and earth were still. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.
Three Void Realm True Immortals stood there proudly. The others present quivered with fright, as silent as cicadas in winter.
Su Yi stood in the air and gazed at the three Void Realm True Immortals. He said plainly, “You’re just after the power of reincarnation, so how are you any different from them?”
His gaze was calm and clear, but his interrogative tone made the three Void Realm True Immortals uncomfortable.
The red-robed man furrowed his brow, then disregarded the question. All he said was, “You ought to make your position clear. Just answer me this: will you offer up the secrets of reincarnation? Or not?”
His tone was utterly overbearing.
Su Yi laughed dryly. “My position is quite simple. All those who view me with enmity must either submit or die!”
“Brazen!” Feng Jinghai was the first to rebuke him. He was so angry that he laughed.
The red-robed man, the stick-thin Daoist, and the curly-bearded middle-aged man furrowed their brows. They wouldn’t have thought that Su Yi would be so stubborn even after they showed up in person.
And he even dared threaten them! How ridiculous was that?
Su Yi glanced at Feng Jinghai, Lu Dongqiu, and the others, then said plainly, “Today, all of you must die. It doesn’t matter who shows up. No one can save you!”
“You...” Feng Jinghai and the others looked stunned.
“Daoist Brother, it’s as I said. Words alone are as weak as can be. Even if we disdain to bully a junior like him, as I’m sure you can see... he isn’t at all cooperative,” the red-robed man said slowly, his gaze distant, cold, and terrifying.
The stick-thin Daoist sighed. “I’ve lived all these years, but this is my first time seeing such an unenlightened junior.”
The yellow dog had been watching coldly from the sidelines all this time, but here, it couldn’t help but grin and laugh. “What do you even think you are? You dare attempt to loot a burning house in front of this lofty one?”
Its words left everyone present startled. They couldn’t even imagine how some run-of-the-mill yellow dog dared behave so arrogantly.
“You’re just begging for a beating!” The red-robed man’s eyes shone with murderous intent, and he was just about to strike when the stick-thin Daoist stopped him.
“Wait!” He furrowed his brow as he looked at the dog. “Are you... Celestial Red Cloud’s companion, the esteemed Xing Que?”
Celestial Red Cloud?
Xing Que?
Many of the onlookers were stunned.
Even Feng Jinghai and the others were at a complete loss. They knew of Celestial Red Cloud, but all they knew was that she was a descendant of immortals from the Immortal Realm, and that she had an extraordinary position. They didn’t know anything about some “esteemed Xing Que.”
It was for this reason that even though they could tell the dog was extraordinary even before the fighting began, none of them ever really took it seriously.
But now, all three Void Realm True Immortals’ expressions shifted dramatically. All of them looked grim!
“Hah? You’ve got good eyes, old-timer.” The dog raised its jaw and said coldly, “Since you recognize me, this lofty one shall grant you an opportunity. Leave immediately, and don’t get mixed up in this. Or else, don’t blame me for my heartlessness!”
Its tone wasn’t the least bit polite.
The red-robed man and the others’ expressions were instantly a bit overcast.
“Fellow Daoist, don’t you think that’s a bit overbearing?” the red-robed man said coldly. “Don’t tell me you and Celestial Red Cloud plan to monopolize the secrets of reincarnation?”
The stick-thin Daoist said warmly, “Fellow Daoist Xing Que, how about this? Convince our young friend to share the secrets of reincarnation, and out of consideration for Celestial Red Cloud, the three of us will leave immediately. We absolutely won’t interfere any further.”
Feng Jinghai and the others’ hearts thudded in their chests. They inwardly cried out, This is bad!
They would never have guessed that the three Void Realm True Immortals they saw as their saviors would change their mind about helping them over Celestial Red Cloud!
Now, they finally understood. Su Yi didn’t just have a terrifying cultivation base. No, he had a powerful backer, too!
Alas, although they didn’t know it, Su Yi had never considered Daoist Master Red Cloud his backer, not even once! Both in this life and in his past lives, he’d always disdained to rely on external power.
Even the dog had come with him to help entirely of its own accord.
The yellow dog jeered. “You’re dreaming! You might have once been Void Realm True Immortals, but now, you’re just revenants. Don’t think too highly of yourselves!”
A dog had insulted and teased them in front of a crowd. The three Void Realm True Immortals’ expressions darkened.
“Why is this necessary?” The stick-thin Daoist sighed. “Fellow Daoist, surely you don’t think you alone can stop the three of us?”
Overflowing murderous intent surged around him and his companions, startling the wind and clouds. When the three Void Realm True Immortals looked at Xing Que, their gazes were bone-chillingly cold.
Su Yi carried the power of reincarnation. To revenants like them, that was an irresistibly grand stroke of fortune.
None of them would possibly just give up on it!
“Out of respect for Celestial Red Cloud, we can refrain from harming you, Fellow Daoist. That is, unless you remain stubborn. In that case, we’ll have no choice but to offend you!” the stick-thin man said gravely.
But then, Su Yi walked up to the dog and said calmly, “Step back. If they want to die, I’ll just have to give them what they want.”
Everyone was flabbergasted. They almost thought they’d misheard.
The three Void Realm True Immortals were stunned too. This seemed utterly absurd.
But then, they couldn’t help but laugh.
“Fellow Daoist Xing Que, as you can see, our young friend doesn’t appreciate your good intentions. He wants to bear the consequences of his own actions!” said the stick-thin Daoist, laughing and running his fingers through his beard.
But the dog didn’t laugh. It took a deep, hard look at Su Yi and said, “This time, I cannot agree to that! If I do... I’ll disappoint my mistress, and moreover, I won’t be able to hold my head up high going forward!”
Here, it turned to look at the three Void Realm True Immortals and said coldly, “One against three, I might not win, but it won’t be hard to drag you down with me!”
Boom!
Immortal light flowed on the dog’s body, like a waterfall of starlight startling the heavens and shaking the earth. The pressure made the surrounding area rumble and wail, and the air churned.
Its majestic aura wasn’t at all inferior to any of the three Void Realm True Immortals!
A series of gasps resounded from the crowd. It was only then that the onlookers realized that this unassuming yellow dog was actually this terrifying!
Feng Jinghai and the others felt chills course through their hearts. They didn’t even need to think to know that if the dog had intervened in their earlier fight, it would have ended without much suspense.
“Huh. So the dog’s actually this strong.” Even Su Yi couldn’t help but be surprised. He’d long since realized that the dog was strong, but he wouldn’t have guessed it was this strong!
“Hmph!” The red-robed man’s eyes flashed like lightning. He said with seething murderous intent, “Fellow Daoist Xing Que, we’ve already been quite patient, but you insisted on doing this the hard way. You’ve truly disappointed us!”
“Quit talking shit! If you’ve got the balls, come and get me!” the dog said with a hideous smile.
Su Yi tightened his grip on the Sword of the Human Realm. His gaze was calm. He naturally wouldn’t let the dog risk its life.
Within his body, the terrifying power of his cultivation base boiled, and within his sea of consciousness, the dormant Sword of the Nine Hells stirred.
He hadn’t used its power since stepping into the Manifesting Mortality Realm!
Heaven and earth were overcast. Murderous intent filled everything between heaven and earth, and countless onlookers quivered.
They could tell that a grand battle was on the brink of erupting.
But then, light, airy footsteps rang out, like a gentle rain splashing against the ground. The sound was soft, with the rhythm of someone out for a gentle stroll.
Yet for all their softness, they resounded clearly throughout heaven and earth.
To the crowd, these light, airy footsteps were like the beating of a divine drum booming in their hearts.
Without exception, the onlookers’ minds buzzed and their hearts quivered. Those with weaker cultivations fell directly unconscious!
The killing intent filling heaven and earth was so dense it seemed almost tangible, but now, it fell apart and disappeared without a trace.
The three Void Realm True Immortals’ hearts and minds quivered, and their expressions shifted dramatically. They gazed into the distance, as did Feng Jinghai and his allies.
The yellow dog was briefly stunned, but then, its eyes lit up with delight.
Su Yi instinctively looked over. There, he saw a familiar, graceful figure approaching from afar.
She was plainly dressed, and she looked like a peasant girl. Her hair was tied up, and her features were unexceptional, save for eyes as clear as autumn waters and as bright as stars.
Daoist Master Red Cloud!
But she looked different from when he saw her at the Violet Heavens Platform.
This time, she wasn’t carrying a flower basket. Instead, she gripped a rusted black saber scabbard.
Her gait was light and airy, to the point that when it moved, it didn’t seem like she was walking. Rather, it seemed as if the air itself was holding her aloft of its own initiative.
Heaven and earth seemed to compress beneath her feet, and she reached the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
She was instantly the center of attention!
But she disregarded the crowd, instead glancing first at the dog, then at Su Yi. She said softly, “I brought a jug from a new batch of wine. Care to taste it?”
