Chapter 1596 1599. Su Yu Left The Mountain
Li Yue sheathed her sword and said calmly, “It’s not for any reason. It’s just to have a worthy opponent. Or rather, to have a goal that I can pursue in the future.”
After staring at her for a long time, Su Yu cupped his fists and said, “I will remember your kindness today. I will repay it in the future.”
With a faint smile, Li Yue turned around and walked out of the tomb palace.
Before she left, she turned her head and asked, “Can you tell me how you did it?”
She pointed at the jade tablet.
She came here because she could not solve the doubts in her heart. Even if she cultivated the eight paths together, she could not absorb so many drops of liquid.
Su Yu said, “I’m afraid not.”
Li Yue smiled faintly. “I will find out sooner or later.”
As she left, Su Yu returned to the Xue residence.
The atmosphere in the residence was stifling and heavy.
The problem was no longer Xue Lei’s defection, but Xue Lei’s destruction of the Starlight Grass!
When Su Yu returned, the Elders’expressions did not improve much. Xue Yuntian glanced at Su Yu and did not pursue the crime of him escaping from the Xue family. Instead, he had a trace of doubt.
He could have taken the opportunity to escape from the Xue family.
“Clan leader, in four months, the envoy of the Sword Pavilion will come to collect the starlight grass. If we can’t hand over the starlight grass and complete this year’s mission, then the consequences... I’m afraid we will lose the right to establish a foothold in the sword pavilion sea area and will be chased away!”The Lone Mountain’s Elder’s expression was extremely unsightly.
Xue Yuntian’s eyes were solemn as well. “The current plan is to replenish 100 starlight grass as soon as possible! Senior Baiyun, how many more are stored in the treasure vault?”
Senior Baiyun’s expression was solemn as he said, “Only ten!”
Ten was just in case the starlight grass they were looking for was insufficient.
The starlight grass was very precious. It grew at the bottom of the sea in the sword pavilion sea area. Not only was it difficult to find, but every one of them was guarded by a star beast at the second sky of the second sky. Some of them were guarded by several star beasts.
Therefore, each grass was hard to come by.
The Star Pavilion, which had a lot of supernatural powers, only had a few hundred of them in storage each year.
Many forces came to buy them, but they strictly limited the quantity. Therefore, it was very difficult to buy more.
The Senior Master of Lone Mountain said with a gloomy face, “Make up for all of them? How? Occasionally, one or two plants would appear on the Twin Star Island every year. The Xue and Li clans would take everything they could find. The other forces did the same. They didn’t have enough for themselves, let alone selling them to us
“As for the Star Pavilion, let’s not talk about whether they will make an exception and sell it to us a second time. Just this journey alone will take them at least half a year to go back and forth. There’s no time at all!”
The Elders’faces were extremely gloomy. The Xue family was already at the moment of life and death.
Su Yu listened from the side and understood.
The Sword Pavilion was the overlord of a sea area. Any force that settled in the sword pavilion’s territory would have to submit to it and offer 100 plants of starlight grass every year.
If they couldn’t meet the requirements, they would be immediately expelled from the territory.
In the past, there was an island force that was ranked fifth. They were only short of three stalks, but they were also ruthlessly expelled by the Sword Pavilion.
The Xue family’s ranking was inferior to that island, and they only had ten stalks of starlight grass in their hands!
Most Island forces spent most of their human resources searching for the starlight grass for an entire year.
Only the Xue clan and the Li clan, which had deep foundations, had the deep pockets to purchase the starlight grass directly from the constellation Pavilion.
Now that the Xue Clan had met with an accident and the deadline for the offering was right around the corner, how could they not worry about their hair turning white?
After hearing this, Xue Yuntian sighed deeply and said, “Pass down my orders. With the senior as the leader, each of you will lead a group of your clansmen to head to the sea of constellations to search for the Starlight Grass!”
The Xue clan was already at their wit’s end. They could only use the most foolish and dangerous method to mobilize the entire clan’s strength to search for the Starlight Grass!
Su Yu said, “I’ll head out to the sea as well. I’ve cultivated a type of Divine Dao that allows me to search for treasures of the heavens and Earth.”
Hearing this, the eyes of the elders suddenly lit up.
There was actually such a strange Divine Dao? If it was true, searching for the starlight grass would be twice the result with half the effort.
Xue Yuntian’s face also showed a look of pleasant surprise. However, when he realized Su Yu’s true identity, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He said coldly, “If you stay in the clan, it will be dangerous outside to avoid endangering your safety.”
The elders thought about it and realized that it was true. Xue Yu was the future of the Xue family.
Even if the Xue family was really expelled, with a junior like Xue Yu growing up, how could there not be a day when they could rise again?
The senior of the Lone Mountain said earnestly and earnestly, “That’s right, Xue Yu. We will mobilize the entire clan’s strength. One more won’t be too much, and one less won’t be too little. Just stay in the clan.”
Having said that, Su Yu could only give up.
Not long after, the thirty senior of the clan led the several thousand members of the clan to spread out in an imposing manner, heading towards the most famous and dangerous place in the sea of constellations, the malicious spirit strait.
That was the place where the most starlight grass was found, but it was also the most dangerous place.
If there was a place where it was possible to dig up ninety starlight grass within four months, the only place would be the evil Ghost Strait.
Looking at their departing figures, Su Yu silently entered the cultivation room and entered seclusion to comprehend the remaining one thousand Divine Dao.
Time passed in a flash.
Two months had passed. Su Yu had finally succeeded in comprehending a divine dao with the remaining strength from the spirit liquid body tempering.
There was only 999 left.
Wu --
A sorrowful, heavy, and long bugle call echoed in the Xue residence.
Su Yu sighed silently, and carved another remnant mark on the ground in front of him.
Including the previous carving, there were a total of ten.
These were all elders who had fallen in the past two months.
A bugle call indicated that an elder was in danger.
As for the clansmen with slightly weaker cultivations, the casualties were uncountable.
The entire Xue family was filled with grief and despair.
“Clan leader, why didn’t you ask Brother Xue Yu to help?”Xue Mei’s grandfather, elder Bai Yun, had died a month ago. The once charming and affectionate Xue Mei’s pretty face was filled with grief, she was also filled with doubt. “Brother Xue Yu’s Supreme Dao is helpful to everyone. If you asked him to help, grandfather might not have had to take the risk of entering the depths of the strait to explore, and he wouldn’t have died in the mouth of the Star Beasts!”
“That’s right. Brother Xue Yu has created miracles time and time again. Why don’t we ask him to help?”Xue Ruxu, who had lost a close relative, questioned.
Faced with the questions of his clansmen, Xue Yuntian’s heart had some ripples.
That’s right. Xue Yu’s background was obviously extraordinary. If he helped, he might really be able to help them.
But because of fear, or rather, because of anger.., he shook his head firmly. “There’s no need to discuss this matter anymore! News has come from the front. The Elders of Lone Mountain and the others have joined forces and discovered an undeveloped land. There are no less than fifty stalks of starlight grass inside! They can do it, they definitely can!”
In the Evil Ghost Strait, the darkness was bottomless. It was like a huge open mouth, waiting for the greedy creatures that were harvesting the starlight grass to send them in.
The elders of Lone Mountain, Maple Leaf, Xuan Qing, and the other 20 elders gathered together, and there were nearly 700 clansmen behind them.
They gathered together and looked at the sea bed filled with white bones.
Among the white bones, the ground was covered with starlight grass that was emitting golden light.
“There are a total of 53 starlight grass. If we succeed this time, including the 20 that we found before, we won’t be far from completing the mission!”The elder of lone mountain said, “According to our observations for half a month, there are a total of 10 star beasts in that area!”
10 star beasts! Everyone’s heart shrank. This was the largest group of star beasts they had ever encountered.
What was going to happen next was a bloody battle!
“Don’t be afraid. As long as we follow our previous division of labor, we’ll be able to wipe them all out!”The Senior Master of Lone Mountain said.
Everyone mustered up their courage and nodded deeply.
When a wisp of clear light pierced through the sea and shone on this place, the senior master of Lone Mountain said, “Now is the time for the Star Beasts to sleep. It’s the best time to attack. Everyone, whether we succeed or not, it’s up to this battle!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh
Seven hundred clansmen, led by twenty senior masters of the Xue family, charged forward.
Such a powerful aura woke up a portion of the star beasts.
The fierce and fierce beasts, with their powerful cultivation base, instantly devoured dozens of clansmen!
Miserable screams, accompanied by blood, filled the Wicked Ghost Strait.
The bloody smell woke up more sleeping Star Beasts, and they roared and rushed out.
The Lone Mountain Chieftain’s eyes were bloodshot from the killing. “Kill! ! The Xue clan’s survival depends on us! !”
Both sides engaged in a bloody battle.
The Xue clan members were being eaten in large numbers. The sound of their bodies being chewed apart and the miserable screams of people were interwoven into a tragic scene.
The bloody battle lasted for a whole day and night.
When the huge bodies of the ten vicious beasts fell to the ground, the remaining members of the Xue Clan revealed a victorious smile.
Even though they had broken limbs, even though they were extremely exhausted, even though there were less than a hundred of them left... They had won.
The Xue clan was saved!
“Lone Mountain clan leader, we have won!”The Senior Master of Green Mountain said with a smile. His old eyes were filled with sorrowful tears.
This was because the person lying under his feet was his only son.
“Yes, we have won!”The Senior Master of Lone Mountain also laughed, crying and laughing. His expression was indescribably desolate.
Out of the twenty elders, only nine were left. Out of the seven hundred clansmen, only ninety were left.
A heavy price was paid in exchange for the final victory.
“Collect it, bring it back and hand it over to the clan leader!”Senior Gu Shan wiped away his tears. Covered in blood, he fell to the ground exhausted.
Ah --
A shrill scream suddenly broke the dead silence at the bottom of the sea.
Three clansmen who were collecting starlight grass were suddenly entangled by tentacles that stretched out from under the ground of corpses.
Those tentacles instantly devoured their flesh and blood, leaving only white bones.
An extremely violent aura soared into the sky from under the seabed.
The entire seabed started to tremble, no, it started to move.
Roar --
A beast roar shook them all away from the seabed.
Looking from the sky, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Where was that seabed? It was clearly a gigantic snake’s head!
The snake’s head was covered in tentacles, and it used the starlight grass to attract the unwitting to collect them before devouring them!
As for the giant snake, it only revealed its head, and its enormous body was hidden in the Dark Canyon!
The Lone Mountain’s Elder’s pupils shrunk into a needle, and his entire body trembled as he roared, “Run! ! It’s the star Beast King! !”
The star Beast King was a legendary existence!
Every single one of them had the terrifying power to contend against a super force like Jian Xuan! !
Xiu Xiu Xiu --
Tentacles shot out and wrapped around dozens of clansmen, instantly turning them into white bones.
The three elders were no exception.
“Run!”Gu Shan’s elder roared as he used his powerful divine power to form a huge barrier. He roared tragically, “Run! Tell the clan leader not to send anyone else...”
Bang --
The barrier didn’t resist for long before the tentacles broke through and wrapped around the mountain chieftain.
His entire body dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Using his last bit of strength, the mountain chieftain let out one last sorrowful roar, “Quick... Run! !”
“Mountain Chieftain! !”Everyone roared in grief and anger as they watched the mountain chieftain turn into white bones.
They escaped out of the strait.
The giant snake’s cold eyes stared at them coldly. It did not chase after them but continued to pretend that it was still pretending. It continued to lure unsuspecting creatures over.
Inside the secret chamber of the Xue family.
Kacha --
Su Yu’s fingers shook, causing the ground to crack. Waves rose in his heart.
“Almost... all of them...”Su Yu’s pupils constricted. He stood up and pushed open the stone door. “We can’t wait any longer!”
He had promised that he would take good care of the Xue Family!
The stone door opened. A ray of long-lost sunlight shone on Su Yu’s face, casting a cold light on it.
