384: Chapter 70 Prison Guard_2 384: Chapter 70 Prison Guard_2 Feng Lu slowly exhaled, looking at Su He as if having made a decision, and cald down, “Just curious, why didn’t you go after and kill the Scholar?”
The killing intent this Dragon Turtle harbored toward the Scholar couldn’t be faked—it wasn’t just a matter of wanting to eliminate him with speed, but a stubborn obsession that would make it act without hesitation, even if it ant harming itself a thousand tis over.
Yet the fact was that the Dragon Turtle did not pursue the Scholar but chose to attack him instead.
He looked at Su He, his eyes filled with greater doubt, “Putting your personal grudges with the Scholar aside for the mont, considering the experints carried out on him, as a Divine God Beast of the Mystery Huang World, you should have unhesitatingly suppressed and killed him!”
East Cloud Mountain is peculiar, bordering Yunng Ze to the west and Xuan Tian Gate to the east.
The two great forces use East Cloud as a boundary, but are they also suppressing it?
There must be sothing beneath East Cloud Mountain that he did not know of, but surely there were secrets, as the true descendants from Yunng Ze and Xuan Tian Gate seldom enter East Cloud.
The Dragon Turtle Tribe also placed a Dragon Turtle here—judging by the look in this Dragon Turtle’s eyes, perhaps, like him, it knew little or nothing at all.
That the Dragon Turtle Tribe might have a contingency plan in place here.
The Scholar, by so stroke of fortune, rged with the East Cloud Mountain Soul.
To unearth the secrets of East Cloud, the Scholar was indispensable.
As for whether the unearthed secret would be a great fortune or a catastrophic disaster, what did it have to do with him?
If it were a fortune, he’d snatch it; a disaster—wasn’t that even better?
This was the Mystery Huang World, after all!
Feng Yi Ju might have discovered sothing.
He approached Feng Yi Ju in person but, unfortunately, made a wrong move and was instead ensnared by it.
Thinking about it, the Dragon Turtle was actually his benefactor.
Su He looked at the young master and gave a grim smile, “How do you know I didn’t kill the Scholar?”
Feng Lu’s gaze suddenly sharpened—there were accomplices helping the Dragon Turtle!
Far to the north, atop a green mountain, Su Huanian stood with her sword.
Sword Qi swirled around her, freezing the air so that it sprinkled down around her like stars.
Each ice crystal emitted a towering Sword Intent.
The Fairy, dressed in white, rested her cold gaze on the stumbling Scholar.
The Scholar swallowed dryly, his breathing slightly disordered, “Teacher Su…”
Having been fellow disciples for three centuries, though Su Huanian had never liked him, she had also never looked at him as if he were already dead.
As the word “Teacher” left his mouth, Su Huanian’s Immortal Sword suddenly flicked out, striking straight towards him.
The Scholar’s face changed dramatically as a radiant glow erged from his body and the Mountain Soul manifested, creating an East Cloud Shadow that enveloped him completely.
The original East Cloud Mountain Soul was majestic and profound, proud and upright.
But now, the Mountain Soul seed as if it had been steeped in the Soaring Snake Domain, with rising Yin Qi; beneath the Yin Qi, Buddha’s light flickered and Iron Chains crossed, binding the Mountain Soul.
Realization dawned on Su Huanian, no wonder the Scholar had rged with the Mountain Soul and yet was still able to leave East Cloud Mountain.
The Mountain Soul was partially suppressed.
Su Huanian’s sword struck the golden light but couldn’t pierce through it.
A smile crept onto the Scholar’s face, “Teacher, stop it!
You can’t hurt .
Even that Dragon Turtle couldn’t break my protective golden light, how could you, at rely Stepping Sky Two-fold, do any harm to ?”
He sighed lightly, “I shall pretend today’s events never happened.
If Teacher continues to be deluded, then I, your junior brother, am not so easily molded!”
To willingly beco an experint in the Sealed Emperor’s Palace was for the sake of great power, wasn’t it?
Today, he might not be able to match Su Huanian, but one day he would reach Stepping Sky, wandering above the Nine Heavens!
Su Huanian nodded and retreated a few steps.
The Scholar laughed lightly, his face showing a trace of disdain.
Before the smug expression could fully spread across his face, Su Huanian flicked her sword again, this ti piercing the golden light and striking his brow amidst his pride.
His smugness turned to shock as he looked at Su Huanian in disbelief.
Not using Sword Intent, nor Sword Qi, Su Huanian had simply relied on the Immortal Sword’s own power; his golden light was no sturdier than paper!
What kind of sword was this?
The Scholar wanted to gasp for air but found it impossible.
The coldness from the Immortal Sword seeped in from his brow, spreading throughout his body.
His entire body froze solid, instantly turning him into an ice sculpture.
With a wave of her sword, the Scholar’s ice sculpture completely shattered into dust.
This freezing technique was the Reverse Cut Root.
A thought passed through his mind: To kill , a being from the Demonic Realm, Teacher used a technique like the Reverse Cut Root?
Am I worth it?
As the thought flickered, his consciousness vanished along with the scattered ice dust.
Su Huanian looked briefly, confirming that the slaying was thorough, then set off by sword towards the south.
The struggle at Su He’s location must be tough; otherwise, she wouldn’t be unable to stop even a Scholar and would not need the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm to inform her to intercept.
Su Huanian’s escape light was swift.
A pair of faint blue-green ethereal wings appeared behind her, barely fluttering as if to glide through the void—soone with ancient knowledge might recognize this as the Qingluan Escape thod from before ancient tis.
…
Feng Lu’s face turned completely pale—indeed, there were conspirators, the Scholar had been killed!
The one who broke the Scholar’s protective golden light had to be at least at Stepping Sky Four-fold.
They must be on their way here now, mustn’t they?
He looked at Su He, no longer holding back.
His Iron Lock in hand suddenly disintegrated into a pure energy that surged into his body.
A sudden sense of danger rose, and Su He roared as a glimring light surged up around the External Appearance Mountain Soul, with the Spirit Snake coiling back atop the mountain, hissing as it flicked its tongue.
And then, with the energy from the disintegrating Iron Chain buoying him, Feng Lu’s presence soared as if he were divine, taking a step forward and decreed, “Divine God says, ‘Confer!'”
The voice did not seem to co from him but rather from an unknown place beyond.
An ancient Ge Header appeared, radiating a bronze light as if it were being lifted from water, trickling down with running water as it erged, suspended above Feng Lu’s head.
