All of those four people fell silent when they heard this remark.
Even if Ling Yuanguang had a more favorable impression on Su Jiuzhou, he couldn’t expect that she would make such a…ridiculous request.
“So, that’s why Fellow Practitioner Su kidnapped the holy boys and holy girls of the holy sects?”
Tu Zhi’s smile faded a little. The power of this old man was above that of him. But he couldn’t contend with Fate Palace alone.
After all, he was young and naive.
“What? Do you think I am joking?”
Su Li broke the silence. Her smile disappeared. “Soon you won’t think so. Elder Ye helps me this time and I can easily trap you here. But I am a very reasonable person. I give you a chance to choose only this time. Everyone…apart from Han Sect can go now.”
Ling Yuanguang felt the shackle around was disappeared. He took a serious look at Su Jiuzhou and then took away all the unconscious disciples without hesitation.
Immortal Tu Zhi frowned and did not refute. Facing Ye Che, he was unable to bring Fang Lan back. It was meaningless to stay here for him.
Lady Xuedu fled fast. In the blink of an eye, she led all the people of Xiuluo Holy Sect to leave here.
“Su Jiuzhou, why can they go? Has Han Sect offended you?”
Xie Hunzi’s face turned pale. His strength was the weakest among the four. In addition, he was confronted with the terrifying old man, Ye Che, at this moment. So, he was so nervous.
“Other sects may still have room for maneuver except for your Han Sect.”
Su Li smiled and suddenly changed her face, “Now, do you know who I am?”
When Xie Hunzi saw this familiar face, his face turned pale. His body was limp, and he said with a trembling voice, “You, you, you… you are one of Prehistoric Ghost Clan who killed Grand Elder Wang Chen!”
Boom!
Su Li smiled and nodded. Countless gray Wills of Sword suddenly came from the sky and turned into a tract of gray sword tomb with destructive sword shadows. Then it buried Xie Hunzi in a flash. The remaining unconscious disciples of Han Sect touched the pneuma of Will of Sword and turned into ashes. They had no bodies or bones left.
“Is this…Sword Region?”
Ye Che was astonished. This was the perfection phase of Will of Sword. He sent out his own insight of sword circle in only…
“Elder Ye, how do you think about the result of my hard practice of one year?”
Hearing this, Ye Che came to his senses and gave a forced smile, “Honored Master, you are talented and one of those rare legendary figures. You must have a great future!”
Su Li stayed calm when she heard this high praise. Light flashed through her eyes. Then she asked, “Elder Ye, what’s your power realm? Can you rival an immortal?”
“The realm of immortals is so far away.”
Ye Che shook his head, “Even in the era of mine, few people become immortals. Immortals transcend the natural law of one circle. It is so difficult to become an immortal. My current power surpasses the perfection phase of Dacheng Realm but it is still far away from being an immortal. If I leave Shengxian City, the natural will surely use my lifespan as an excuse to bring about the terrifying Destroy Thunder.”
Su Li nodded lightly. Light flashed through her eyes. “Then, if there is such a person or a clone who can break into the end of the divine awareness single-handedly and even come and go freely, what’s the realm of his power?”
Ye Che’s pupils shrank. “The end of the divine awareness? It is said that only when someone enters the realm of Great Emperor, namely, the perfection phase of Dacheng Realm, he could arrive there. In that special place, the master of divine awareness is at the invincible realm. The immortals might die there!”
Su Li gave a stern look, “If the master of the end of the divine awareness dies, can the end of the divine awareness instinctively attack?”
“There are so many possibilities.”
Ye Che was relieved, “It depends on how long since this person has been dead. Nothing can withstand the passage of time, unless it is an immortal. The power of the end of the divine awareness will decline with time, and I have no idea how to assess his force. However, he is at least at the late phase of Dacheng Realm.”
After listening to the thorough analysis of Ye Che, Su Li nodded.
“I see. I will leave here soon. If the person I’m talking about comes here, you don’t have to fight with him but observe him secretly.”
“Who is that person?”
Ye Che couldn’t help but ask. Su Li stared at Ye Che’s eyes, “Have you ever heard of Bai Mo?”
If her conjecture was true, Ye Che and Bai Mo would be in the same era.
“Bai Mo?”
Ye Che tried to recollect it. But he only felt strange about it. He thought he had never heard this name.
Su Li saw Ye Che’s reaction. She lost in thought for a second and then asked again, “Then…what about the Master of Qingshui Circle, Ling Qingshui?”
“Who?”
Ye Che was confused. How much did he miss? This circle was renamed from All Spirits to Qingshui. Did someone unify this circle?
Su Li stopped asking. She could find Ye Che didn’t know anything about it through his reaction. She didn’t have to waste her time to get information from him.
“During this time, Qingshui Circle maybe be chaotic. In short, no one has time to pay attention to Shengxian City. If you are idle, you can form a force and use the methods of Ghost Clan to teach those people assassination. You can see them as a peripheral organization.”
Ye Che lowered his head quickly, “As my Honored Master commands.”
Su Li smiled. She knew that Ye Che hadn’t been fully loyal to her. But she wasn’t impatient with him.
Since Ye Che was unable to leave Shengxian City, it was easy for her to control him.
…
Two days later, Su Li and Yao Shichuan appeared at the foot of the mountain where the vegetation had withered.
“After the Tianjiao Battle, the sect slide from the top grade and the luck was looted covertly. Then the nimbus in the mountain decreased as well.”
When Yao Shichuan saw this scene, he felt depressed. He didn’t dare to ask Su Li for help at will.
The news in the cultivation circle was diffused rapidly. Just in two days, what happened in Shengxian City would be spread to every corner of Qingshui Circle.
The name, Su Jiuzhou had also become the buzzword in Qingshui Circle overnight.
There were eighteen versions of the story that Su Jiuzhou ranked the top of the list just in two days. Each of them was not true, but they still took delight from talking about it. Even the ordinary people had also heard about it.
But what Yao Shichuan heard was not those false rumors. He heard the story from Shengxian City.
If Su Jiuzhou really captured the holy boys and holy girls of those four holy sects, she and Ni Sect would be under attack on all sides. Even the people of Fate Palace would attack them in person. At that time, how should Ni Sect deal with that?
If they accepted the help of Su Jiuzhou, would they be regarded as enemies by the people of Fate Palace and even eliminated by Fate Palace?
Yao Shichuan worried about his sect and sighed inwardly. But he did not dare to show an anxious look. He led Su Jiuzhou into the tactical matrix of Ghost Valley.
Although Ghost Valley was originally a top-grade sect, it only covered an area which was one-tenth of that of an ordinary sect. The palace and hall looked dilapidated. They were in need of repair. The entire sect looked old and shabby from the foot of the mountain to its palace.
Su Li followed Yao Shichuan up the mountain and saw many terraced fields where the herbs grew and the disciples were working. Seeing Yao Shichuan, those disciples all saluted him respectfully and called him eldest senior fellow apprentice.
Yao Shichuan responded to them while talking with Su Li.
“In the past few years, it has been difficult for Ghost Valley to maintain its normal operation. The Sect couldn’t afford to pay wages. A lot of disciples have left the sect. Those who still stay here are all true-hearted loyalists.”
Su Li smile faintly, “The sect’s grade has fallen, and the resources for cultivation ran dry. So, it was justifiable that those disciples chose to leave. As for the ones who stayed… I don’t think they have made a good choose. But I admire their courage to leave here.”
Yao Shichuan smiled awkwardly, and he didn’t know how to respond. Fortunately, the hall of the sect was near at hand. He quickly changed the subject, “The Owner of the Ghost Valley has been waiting for us in the main hall for a long time.”
“Oh?”
Su Li looked at Yao Shichuan meaningfully, “You told the Owner of the Ghost Valley about this. Then, did he refuse to accept my arrival?”
“Fellow Practitioner Su, you are funny.”
Yao Shichuan stopped in front of the palace and smiled bitterly, “With the current situation of our sect, if we don’t dare to take this risk, our sect may be on the verge of ruin.”
“You see it clearly.”
Su Li chuckled and stepped into the gate of the hall. Then she saw a group of men and women in medicine robes. It seemed that all the elders of Ghost Valley had arrived.
In the center of them sat an old man in the cyan robe who wore a benevolent and kind countenance and was frowning.
Seeing Su Li, he quickly got up to greet her. He smiled and said politely, “The first of Tianjiao List came to our Ghost Valley. It’s our great honor!”
“You are welcome.”
Su Li smiled faintly, neither cringing nor arrogant, “Since I’m here, I should go straight to the point. I can save the foundation of your sect’s medicine mountain. So, what do you have to reward me?”
The Owner of the Ghost Valley was a little surprised. He did not expect Su Li would tell her condition in such a direct manner.
“Ha-ha, everyone can talk big words! My sect has planted a lot of rare panaceas. But now we lose the top-grade luck and then the panaceas were at the last gasp. I know you are the first talent. But, can you control the luck which is immaterial?”
The woman in the pink medicine dress next to the Owner of the Ghost Valley couldn’t help but question her. The woman had long and thin eyebrows, thin lips and a sharp tongue.
Su Li just looked at the Owner of the Ghost Valley silently. She didn’t care about that woman at all.
The woman in the medicine dress became angry and raised her eyebrows. She stepped forward, flicked her sleeves and scolded, “You have no regard for superiors. I am asking you!”
Seeing this scene, the Owner of the Ghost Valley remained silent.
“Noisy.”
Su Li turned her head with cold eyes. It seemed that woman in the medicine dress was hit by a heavy blow suddenly. She was shivering and crashed into the screen behind her upside down.
“Fellow Practitioner Su, you’ve gone too far!”
The Owner of the Ghost Valley was shocked and embarrassed. He didn’t expect that Su Li would be so bold regardless of her image.
“Owner, don’t wear down my patience.”
Su Li retracted her smiled and said calmly, “How dare she talk to me like that? Is the news blocked in your sect? Don’t you know my power?”
Seeing Su Li’s tough attitude, the Owner of the Ghost Valley was stunned and then he quickly added, “Fellow Practitioner Su, calm down. Elder Su is concerned about the sect. Please don’t bear grudge against us…”
“I bear a lot of grudges.”
Su Li interrupted the Owner of the Ghost Valley. She said with a poker face, “Originally, Ghost Valley is related to me. But now, I don’t want to be related with Ghost Valley anymore.”
The Owner of the Ghost Valley felt something wrong and regretted. Then he said anxiously, “Fellow Practitioner Su, do you want to leave here urgently? Don’t you care about the future of Ghost Valley?”
Su Li laughed and said gently, “I don’t give a damn!”
