Chapter 1634: Chapter 1635: Arriving as Scheduled
The sudden change left the three Martial Gods no ti to react. As they attempted to intervene, the overwhelming killing intent of the Kiss Neck Sword prevented them from approaching even a shred closer.
Just monts earlier, Wan Qiu Daoist, who seed to have perished, slowly lifted his head and sneered coldly at the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum before him. Now realizing he’d fallen into a trap, the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum hastily struck out, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t break free from the encirclent of countless Kiss Neck Swords surrounding him.
“Give up. Before my inevitable death, there’s absolutely no way you’ll escape my sword array.”
The Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum’s face twisted in extre discomfort upon hearing this. He was unwilling to admit that Wan Qiu Daoist’s words were true, but he had no ans of escaping this place.
Frustrated and enraged, he could only question Wan Qiu: “With this amount of ntal strength, wouldn’t it be better for you to leave those others and flee? Why persist in entangling yourself with ?”
“I want to. Do you have a say in that?”
Wan Qiu’s shaless reply left the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum speechless. He originally intended to persuade further, but in the next mont, the Kiss Neck Sword had already streaked toward him. Each sword aid directly at his vital points; every Sword Qi struck with the intent to severely injure or even annihilate his Primordial Spirit completely.
“Madman!”
Exhausted from defending against the sword array, the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum bared his unwillingness before finally speaking. He wanted to escape, but the sword montum stuck to him like stubborn adhesive, giving him no opportunity to break through.
“Fifth Elder!”
Outside the sword array, the three Martial Gods called out in unison, their tones anxious. They had sowhat realized the situation had spiraled out of the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum’s control.
“Don’t worry about ! This lunatic is rely a spent arrow—struggling futilely before his demise. Though he’s trapped , it’s nothing more than a desperate act of self-destruction. The Qingqiu Mausoleum has opened—go on inside! We must not allow the relics left behind by the Qiuqiu Fox Clan to fall into anyone else’s hands.”
“But—”
“No buts! This relic belonged to my Luo Clan decades ago. If you cannot retrieve it, then bury those outsiders and the last of the Qiuqiu Fox Clan’s treasures beneath this earth together!”
“Understood!”
The three Martial Gods exchanged looks, took deep breaths, and without further hesitation dove straight into the shimring azure light.
Wan Qiu Daoist watched coldly as events unfolded, his gaze finally landing on the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum: “The Ancient Clan truly hasn’t changed—still as arrogant as ever. If you can’t obtain sothing, you’d rather destroy it all? Do you really think the treasures in here belong to your Luo Clan?”
“The victor writes history! When the Qiuqiu Fox Clan was eradicated in the past, do you know how many lives my Luo Clan lost? This treasure rightfully belongs to us as spoils of war! What qualifications do they have to lay their hands on it?!”
Enraged by Wan Qiu Daoist’s words, the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum cared little for secrecy and revealed his thoughts all at once.
Wan Qiu sneered at the hideous expression before him: “If you publicly admitted such words, wouldn’t you worry the world would brand your Luo Clan as shaless?”
“And why shaless? Wiping out Qingqiu was decreed by Xia Country. We rely assisted the Demon Slayer Departnt in carrying out their orders. You Quanzhen folks are the true lackeys of Xia Country—making such comnts, aren’t you ashad?”
“My Quanzhen sect has never acted against its conscience.”
The steadfast expression on Wan Qiu’s face unsettled the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum sowhat. As the Fifth Elder of the Luo Clan, he naturally understood the pivotal role Master Chang Chun held within the Imperial Observatory.
Safeguarding Xia Country’s destiny, maintaining seasonal order—these responsibilities were not rely tasks to ensure Xia Country’s stability but also to provide peace and security for people across the realm.
In contrast, he clearly understood just how murky the truth behind Qingqiu’s demise was and what part they had played in that sordid affair.
“Well said, Elder!”
The sudden voice from outside the battlefield drew both Wan Qiu and the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum’s attention. Bai Qiu’s towering form tore through the external barrier, bringing Su Chengyu directly into the fray.
Although the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum had never t Su Chengyu before, being sent here by the Elder Council ant he’d already been briefed on the identities of those infiltrating the area. He instantly deduced the newcor’s identity.
“So, you’re Su Chengyu?”
Leaping down from Bai Qiu’s back, Su Chengyu gripped the Dragon Slayer Sword tightly, locking his gaze on the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum trapped in the sword array: “I am Su Chengyu. As promised, I’ve co to pay the Luo Clan a visit.”
In this place, it was aningless to conceal identities. The Luo Clan had even prepared to annihilate the entire Qingqiu Mausoleum along with its secrets. For Su Chengyu and the others, anyone alive from the Luo Clan Elder Council would pose an imnse threat.
Su Chengyu knew that among everyone entering Qingqiu Mausoleum now, only the final victor would walk out alive in the end.
“As promised? I don’t recall our Luo Clan making any promises with you.”
Su Chengyu’s calm reply: “When Luo Clan took Nan Zhi away back then, I said soday I’d co and take her back. Of course, you likely didn’t take my words seriously at the ti.”
“Just like now!”
The Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum bellowed, unleashing a technique toward Su Chengyu. Yet midway through its trajectory, it was engulfed by countless Kiss Neck Sword Shadows, completely extinguished.
Wan Qiu Daoist sneered coldly at the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum before him, the challenge in his gaze seemingly mocking him—don’t forget you’re still within my sword array.
Seeing this, the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum felt utterly helpless and could only turn his focus back to Su Chengyu.
“Don’t think that just because you’re now the Saint Envoy of Xia Country’s Demon Slayer Departnt, my Luo Clan will fear you. Lady Saintess is of utmost importance to my Luo Clan. If you really dare to take her away, my entire Luo Clan will not spare you.”
“Your entire Luo Clan? Elder, isn’t that a bit overconfident?”
Su Chengyu’s scornful tone caused the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum’s brows to furrow. His reaction quickly led Su Chengyu to ascertain that the Luo Clan was clearly aware of the turmoil within their own ranks.
“How long have you been lurking within my Luo Clan?”
“Rest assured, Elder, not long—certainly not as long as you’ve spent exploring this Qingqiu Mausoleum.”
“You—”
Picking up on Su Chengyu’s mocking intent, the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum’s face beca twisted with rage. Before he could respond, Su Chengyu’s gaze had already shifted to the azure light nearby. With a glance, he discerned its peculiar nature.
“Though, I can’t fault you. This azure light arises from the unique Demon Bloodline of the Qiuqiu Fox Clan. Forget decades—even if Bai Huang hadn’t intervened, you wouldn’t grasp the secret behind this place for centuries.”
Upon hearing this, the Luo Clan’s Hollow Vacuum’s face imdiately darkened. He had already noticed the young fox demon who had unlocked the mausoleum earlier, suspecting that her bloodline had enabled her to unravel the secret their Luo Clan had puzzled over for decades.
But what unsettled him was how Su Chengyu had instantly discerned this fact. A chilling thought crossed his mind, and he locked his gaze firmly on Su Chengyu.
“Su Chengyu, just who are you?!”
