First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1030 - Killing His Way Into the Mysterious Blue

Still, it wouldn’t do for Wen Lingxue to act too close to Su Yi in front of so many people, so she quickly let go of his hand and stood beside him.

“Fellow Daoist Su, it’s only been a little over a year since we parted ways. Who’d have thought you’d already stepped into the Imperial Realm? This is cause for celebration!” A’Cang stepped up to greet him.

Su Yi snapped his finger and sent a pill bottle to her through the air. He said gently, “No need for pleasantries. Quickly, treat your wounds.”

A’Cang was briefly dazed, but then, she smiled and agreed.

Su Yi then swept his gaze across Ning Sihua, Cha Jin, and the others. “All of you should stay here for now and get some rest. I’m going to pay the Kunwu Mountain Ye Family a visit. Once I’ve saved Miss Xinzhao, Yuan Heng, and the others, let’s have a proper get-together.”

After perusing Ye Yunjia’s memories, Su Yi learned that the Ye Family’s captives had been transported back to the Mysterious Blue Realm a few days prior.

When his friends heard that, they were instantly solemn. All of them realized that this was no time for reunions or celebrations.

Whoosh!

Su Yi stretched out his hand and grabbed the fallen Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue. He then rubbed his palm across it, effortlessly erasing the will imprint the ancestors of the Ye Family had left within it.

A moment later, he exerted his will and freed the confined Ying Que.

The black flood dragon’s massive body was covered in wounds, and his flesh was a meaty pulp. It was painful to even look at him.

But when he saw Su Yi, the old black flood dragon couldn’t help but exclaim, “Master Su!?”

Su Yi waved his sleeves and tossed over a bottle of pills. He said gently, “Treat your injuries first.”

“Got it!” Ying Que returned to his human form and accepted the medicine with both hands.

“Emperor Xia, we’re going to the Mysterious Blue Realm.” Su Yi didn’t plan to delay any further.

This was partially because he was worried about Wen Xinzhao, Yuan Heng, and the others. But it was also because he’d yet to truly vent his fury and hatred.

“Got it!” The Xia Emperor straightforwardly agreed.

After witnessing Su Yi’s terrifying combat prowess, many of his earlier worries had disappeared without a trace. Now, his greatest concern was the safety of the captive imperial clansmen.

Like his daughter, Xia Qingyuan, and his subordinates, Weng Jiu and Shui Tianqi.

Su Yi gazed at A’Cang and the others and softly issued instructions. “The rest of you can stay in Meteor Abyss for now. Rest assured. Although a few experts of the Ye Family remain in the Azure Continent, they’re all weaklings. No need to concern yourselves with them.”

All of them nodded.

Then, Su Yi and the Xia Emperor promptly set off.

After watching them fade from view, A’Cang let out a breath of turbid air and muttered, “Fellow Daoist Su is getting stronger and stronger. It’s true what they say; when you meet someone after even a brief separation, you have to reevaluate them completely.”

“It’s true. Earlier, even though Fellow Daoist Su suppressed his aura, for some reason, irrepressible awe filled my heart when I stood before him. I felt stifled, as if I were gazing upon a deity,” said Ning Sihua. She meant every word, too.

“It’s the difference in cultivation boundary,” said Ying Que, who’d felt much the same way and agreed completely. “When a deer encounters a tiger, it feels instinctual terror.”

“But why didn’t I sense it? And… I didn’t think Big Brother Su Yi was all that scary!” Wen Lingxue batted her bright eyes in confusion.

“That’s because of your feelings for him. You can’t sense it properly,” said A’Cang with a smile.

Cha Jin murmured to herself, The young lord… really has changed. He seems even more transcendent and detached than before. But no matter how high his cultivation gets, his personality is the same as ever…

……

Within the Great Xia, a valley deep within a boundless mountain range.

A wondrous, old-fashioned altar stood here. It was fully a hundred feet across.

Four experts of the Kunwu Mountain Ye Family stood guard around it.

“Argh, that bastard Ye Feng sure is lucky. When the deacon left, he said was going to give that stunner Little Sword Demon to Ye Feng as a dual cultivation vessel. It’s hard not to envy him!” a thin man sighed.

The Little Sword Demon, Wen Xinzhao!

She was one of the most dazzling stars of the modern Azure Continent, and the people called her a banished fairy. Her swordsmanship was extraordinary, and she was a wondrous beauty.

“What’s there to envy? Ye Feng just has a good ancestor. We can’t compare ourselves to him.” A man in yellow robes shook his head.

“I just wonder if that little Su bastard will ever show up. If he keeps hiding, aren’t we just wasting our time?”

“Who knows?”

“Ee? Someone’s here!” The thin man suddenly raised his head and gazed into the distance.

There, he saw a young man in blue walking through the sky. He was headed right toward them.

This was none other than Su Yi.

“Who are you?” The thin man furrowed his brow.

“It’s him! It’s that little Su bastard!” The man in yellow cried out. He recognized Su Yi at a glance.

The other three were instantly alarmed, and they sensed that something was amiss. All of them took out their treasures and readied themselves for battle.

“Who did you say was about to offer the Little Sword Demon up as a vessel for dual cultivation?” Su Yi gazed at the thin man.

The thin man’s eyes flashed. “Want to know? Very well. Come with us to the Mysterious Blue Realm, and all will naturally become clear.”

“Oh,” said Su Yi. He flicked his fingers, and…

Bang!

The thin man’s fleshly body exploded into ash and fell to the ground.

He’d been destroyed, body and soul.

This tyrannical killing technique left the other three scared out of their wits. None of them dared act recklessly.

“You tell me.” Su Yi fixed his gaze on the man in yellow robes.

The man in yellow shuddered from head to toe. His knees turned to jelly, and he gulped with great difficulty. “If I tell you, will you let me live?”

Bang!

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he too exploded into ash.

The remaining two had complete breakdowns. They shrieked in terror, and one of them turned and fled, as if he’d completely lost control of himself.

Bang!

He’d only gotten about a hundred feet away when he too exploded into ash and dissipated into thin air.

He killed people as if they were nothing at all. Seeing this, the last survivor couldn’t take it anymore. His knees thudded to the ground, and he said in a quavering voice, “Your Excellency, please, show mercy! I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”

Su Yi shook his head. His interest was waning. “I’ll be visiting the Ye Family anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether or not you talk.”

The man was stunned.

But before he could react, he exploded into ash, following in the others’ footsteps.

From beginning to end, Su Yi’s expression remained calm and casual, as if killing four Spiritual Revolution Realm experts was no different from swatting flies.

But his sheer carelessness revealed his utterly cold murderous intent!

As Su Yi conducted his affairs, he abided by the principle that every debt should only be paid by its debtor. He wouldn’t commit massacres lightly.

But this time was different.

Nine Tripod City had been the imperial capital of the Great Xia. It had been home to countless lives, yet the forces of the Ye Family had destroyed it overnight, reducing it to rubble. Countless innocents had died brutal deaths.

And Mount Heavenbristle had been home to the Great Xia’s imperial family. Countless people lived there, yet Ye Yunjia had cleaved it in two. Countless members of the imperial family had died then!

But that wasn’t all. They’d chased A’Cang and the others, while Wen Xinzhao, Yuan Heng, and numerous core members of the imperial family had been taken captive…

They’d completely crossed Su Yi’s bottom line. The way he saw it, the Kunwu Mountain Ye Family no longer needed to exist in this world!

Weng!

Su Yi’s hands formed seals as he activated the old-fashioned altar.

This was an ancient spatial transmission array, and it linked to one of the great cities of the mysterious Blue Realm: Blue Heaven City.

Su Yi had already gotten the Xia Emperor settled within the Seed of the Azure. That way, when they arrived at Mount Kunwu, the Xia Emperor could bear witness to the Ye Family’s destruction.

Before long, the altar lit up, and its surface flowed with a multicolored rain of spatial light.

Su Yi walked right up without the slightest hesitation.

Boom!

Su Yi instantly disappeared amongst rumbling spatial power.

…

The Mysterious Blue Realm, otherwise known as the Eighth Star Realm.

And Blue Heaven City was the largest city in the entire Mysterious Blue Realm.

The reason for this was simple. Kunwu Mountain, the home of the Ye Family, the hegemons of the Mysterious Blue Realm, was just three hundred miles away.

The heavens were overcast, misty, and drizzling.

An altar within a vast, ancient palace.

An old man languished beside the altar, holding a cattail leaf fan. He was resting his eyes, and he looked utterly relaxed.

This temporary palace was Ye Family territory.

Over the years, no one had ever dared cause trouble here.

Weng!

Strange spatial fluctuations appeared on the altar, startling the dozing old man awake.

“Don’t tell me Ancestor Yunjia has already captured that Su kid?” the old man exclaimed.

But a moment later, he seemed to understand. “Makes sense. With Ancestor Yunjia’s abilities, capturing a kid like that ought to be as easy as turning over his hand.”

For some reason, a conflicted look appeared in his eyes.

As he thought, the old man rose, straightened his robes, and prepared to welcome the triumphant Ye Family experts.

Whoosh~

Before long, spatial light fell like rain, and a tall, upright figure appeared out of nowhere.

“Huh? You’re…” The old man was stunned. What’s a stranger doing here?

This was, of course, none other than Su Yi. He swept his gaze across the palace, then slowly descended from the altar. “Are you the only person here?”

The old man immediately sensed trouble, but he maintained his external calm. “Might I ask who you are, and why…”

Su Yi asked right back, “Don’t you recognize me?”

The old man frowned slightly, then seemed to realize something. His expression shifted dramatically. “You… You’re that… That Su kid!?”

He was incomparably bewildered, and his heart shook.

The ancient formation leading to the Azure Continent had taken the Ye Family an enormous amount of work to repair. Only their experts could use it.

Yet now, the one returning from the Azure Continent wasn’t Ye Yunjia or his subordinates. Su Yi was here instead. How could the old man fail to realize that something unexpected had happened?

“It seems my image has already circulated throughout the entire Ye Family,” muttered Su Yi. This came as no surprise.

A moment later, Su Yi stretched out his hand and grabbed without so much as another wasted word.

The old man couldn’t even struggle, let alone fight back. Su Yi held him aloft by the neck and restricted his cultivation base.action

But just as Su Yi was about to destroy his body and search his soul, the old man cried out, “Su Yi! I’m your mother’s uncle and a member of the main line of descent, just like her! If you’re here for revenge, you absolutely can’t kill me!”
