Chapter 617: Imperial Preceptor Su Yi!

Su Yi didn’t know just how many Celestial Prison Demon Court cultivators were distributed throughout Bloodthistle Yao Mountain.

Nor did he know how many forces they had stationed here, or what defenses they’d installed.

However, he didn’t care. action

When you were strong enough, you had no need to consider such variables. You could simply crush everything in your path!

In the Nine Provinces of the Wilds, those with significant attainments all had something in common when they fought: sheer domineeringness!

They were domineering to the point that no matter their enemies' schemes and tricks, they just cut right through them.

A single sword could break ten thousand plots!

This wasn’t simple barbarism; this was the nature of a sword cultivator.

They fought without fear of death, and when they weren’t convinced, they took action.

Of course, those sword cultivators who insisted on acting tough despite insufficient cultivation died horrible deaths…

“Hm? Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

A group of martial artists appeared up ahead and watched Su Yi’s approach suspiciously.

Whoosh!

.

Su Yi raised his hand and sliced. Sword qi shot through the air, carving a thousand-foot, perfectly straight rift so deep that you couldn’t see the bottom.

From beginning to end, he didn’t utter a word. He just continued ahead.

The martial artists froze in place like mud statues and broke out in cold sweats. None of them dared stand in Su Yi’s way.

“So strong!”

When the white-robed Li Changlin and the others arrived and saw the massive rift, they were too shaken to even speak.

“Brother Li, who was that young man just now?” one of the startled martial artists couldn’t help but ask.

“An expert who’s come to kill the Celestial Prison Demon Court. The way I see it, he’s carving a light in the darkness, and he’s worth following even if it means my death!” Li Changlin said staunchly.

Even as he spoke, he and the others continued after Su Yi.

“Come on, let’s go watch too.” Some of the startled martial artists couldn’t help but tag along.

Before long, numerous others joined their procession.

Su Yi noticed the martial artists tailing him from afar, but he ignored them and continued on his way.

Before long, he arrived at a small hill.

Four disciples of the Celestial Prison Demon Court were seated there, drinking and laughing and chatting amongst themselves.

A group of martial artists was working like slaves around them, planting various spiritual medicines.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was recovering, making this a prime opportunity to plant spiritual medicines.

“Hm?”

One of the male disciples noticed Su Yi, and his expression turned a bit strange. When he saw the still-unconscious Liu Ying in Su Yi’s grip, his expression instantly changed.

“Something’s wrong!” He shot to his feet. “Quickly, prepare the…”

Splurt!

There was a flash of sword qi, and before the man could finish speaking, his head flew through the air. Blood gushed from the stump, shooting high into the air, like water from a geyser.

His drinking companions were all terrified, but before they could react, three streaks of sword qi struck them down.

As easy as killing a chicken!

This bloody spectacle startled the martial artists planting spiritual medicines on the hillside.?It was only after Su Yi left that they came to their senses, and their expressions changed dramatically.

“Who was that person? How dare he kill his way into the Celestial Prison Demon Court’s territory?”

“Those were four Grain Avoidance Realm experts, yet he killed them just like that?”

“My heavens!!”

As they discussed what had just happened, Li Changlin and the others caught up. When they saw this bloody spectacle, they felt even more astonished than before.

So strong!?Just… Just who is that young man?

Before long, Li Changling and company continued after Su Yi, but quite a few martial artists joined them. There were now at least twenty people tailing Su Yi!

Furthermore, the deeper Su Yi ventured into the mountain wilderness, the more martial artists tagged along…

From beginning to end, Su Yi paid them no heed. He just continued straight ahead, neither fast nor slow. When he encountered patrolling martial artists, he swung his sword and displayed his strength. None of the patrols dared act up after that.

When he encountered disciples of the Celestial Prison Demon Court, he gave them no chance to waste words. He just killed them.

He forged relentlessly ahead, like an axe through bamboo!

Seeing this, the martial artists’ blood blazed as if on fire, and their hearts filled with excitement.

He was just one man and one sword, but it was as if there were no one else there!

Who wouldn’t have been excited upon witnessing his magnificent bearing?

Suddenly, a cold voice boomed, “What little rat dares act up in Celestial Prison Demon Court territory!?”

Three figures shot over. Their leader was a man in red robes. His eyes flashed like cold lightning, and his aura was intimidating.

Three deacons!

Off in the distance, when Li Changlin and the other martial artists saw them, their expressions shifted dramatically. It was as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on their heads. Their hearts clenched, and they looked at Su Yi with concern.

The Celestial Prison Demon Court’s deacons were all in the Origin Palace Realm!

Pick any one at random, and they could act as they pleased anywhere in the Great Zhou!

It was then that the beautiful woman beside the man in red let out a burst of coquettish laughter. “And then there’s you, you wretches. What have you gathered for? Don’t tell me you plan to rebel?”

Her bright eyes swept across Li Changlin and the other martial artists. Their bodies stiffened, and their faces filled with alarm. Irrepressible terror rose within their hearts.

The third deacon stood on the other side of the red-robed man. He was tall and stalwart. When he saw Liu Ying unconscious in Su Yi’s hands, he cried out, “Brother Mo, look! It looks like the woman that punk’s carrying is…”

Whoosh!

A streak of sword qi burst into being, turning into a flowing light and piercing the stalwart deacon’s throat.

He clutched his neck, then fell to the ground with a thud.

He was dead!

“This…” Li Changlin and the others were wide-eyed and dumbstruck.

Earlier, all they saw was Su Yi killing Grain Avoidance cultivators as easily as he might slaughter a chicken. Who’d have guessed that Origin Palace cultivators were just as helpless against him?

This is bad!

The red-robed man and the beautiful older woman visibly lost their composure, turned, and fled.

Su Yi snapped his fingers twice.

Both Origin Palace demonic cultivators fell from the sky, dead. Their corpses were sprawled out on the ground, and there were eye-catching, bloody holes through their throats.

Su Yi didn’t even look at them. He just continued ahead.

When they saw this, Li Changlin and the others practically boiled over with excitement and whooped for joy.

“Good! They deserved it!”

“This… Is this senior an immortal from the heavens? Has he been sent here to rescue us?”

“Hahaha! There are no depths to which those devils wouldn’t sink. This is their well-deserved retribution! Wondrous! This is truly wondrous!”

The vast majority of these martial artists had been forced to submit to the Celestial Prison Demon Court’s tyrannical abuses of power. They’d long since lost track of how many humiliations and grievances they’d been forced to endure.

When they saw this, how could they not rejoice? How could their hearts not fill with excitement?

Su Yi, however, found all of this rather dull.?Everyone he’d seen thus far was too weak to block even a single hit!

A bit less than ten minutes later.

Su Yi killed twenty more Grain Avoidance Realm disciples of the Celestial Prison Demon Court, as well as five Origin Palace Realm deacons before finally reaching the heart of Bloodthistle Yao Mountain.

The number of martial artists following him had increased. There were now over a hundred of them!

Every last one of them looked eager.

It was just as Li Changlin said earlier: following Su Yi was like following the light cutting through the darkness. He was giving them hope!

This hope started out small, but it was growing larger and larger!

After all, when they first saw Su Yi, even Li Changlin thought Su Yi was insane to attempt to take down the Celestial Prison Demon Court on his own.

……

Deep within the wilderness of Bloodthistle Yao Mountain, there was an enormous chasm leading to an underground world.

One hundred and eight collapsed dilapidated altars stood alongside the rift.

When Su Yi arrived, he stopped in place for the first time since his arrival.

“Su Yi of the Great Zhou has come for a visit!”

His voice was calm, yet it reverberated throughout Bloodthistle Yao Mountain like a grand bell, dispersing the clouds. It spread down the rift and into the underground world below.

The martial artists dispersed throughout the mountain were stunned, and all of them set aside their tasks.

“Su Yi?” The atmosphere was briefly tense and silent, but then, it practically boiled over.

“Imperial Preceptor Su!?”

Countless eyes widened in shock. They couldn’t help but recall the legendary young man who’d once stood at the pinnacle of the Great Zhou and whose name once shook this corner of the world.

“What’s Imperial Preceptor Su doing at Bloodthistle Yao Mountain? Don’t tell me he plans to fight the Celestial Prison Demon Court?” someone exclaimed.

“Quick, let’s go watch!”

A moment later, countless martial artists’ hearts filled with excitement. They cast aside all other concerns and rushed toward the source of the noise.

Su Yi!

He was a legendary figure, a matchless genius who’d risen to prominence in the Great Zhou, single-handedly dominating both the Great Zhou and its two neighbors!

In the hearts of countless martial artists, Su Yi was an undefeatable legend!

Months had passed with no word of him, yet now that he stood before them, who could possibly overlook him?

“So.. So,?he’s Imperial?Preceptor Su…!” Li Changlin said, his lips quivering.

He finally understood. So, this solitary swordsman in blue, this young man who’s forging ahead as if the defenders aren’t even there, is Su Yi!

There was uproar amongst the martial artists following him, too. A chorus of voices rang out.

Imperial Preceptor Su!

What martial artist of the Great Zhou didn’t know just how much weight that title carried?

“It’s been months since anyone saw him, yet he seems to have undergone a complete transformation. The imperial preceptor is even stronger than before!” someone murmured.

“Not long ago, there were rumors that Imperial Preceptor Su Yi slew terrifying entities deep within the Great Qin’s Sea of Chaotic Spirits. He’s as outstanding as could be, and the people say he’s like a fallen immortal, not of this world. Now, it seems Imperial Preceptor Su is even stronger than the rumors suggest!” someone shouted in excitement.

“There’s no doubt about it. During his several-month disappearance, Imperial Preceptor Su transformed, like a carp metamorphosing into a dragon. He’s become an enormously powerful figure. Otherwise, how could he kill Origin Palace cultivators as easily as chickens or dogs?” someone sighed.

All the martial artists on Bloodthistle Yao Mountain were in uproar, for no other reason than this: a young legend had re-entered the world!

“That young man…?is Imperial?Preceptor Su?”

The martial artists who’d initially accompanied Li Changlin assumed that Su Yi was just throwing his life away, and that Li Changlin’s choice to accompany him was a major lapse in judgment.

However, when they heard the joyous shouts filling the air, they were dumbstruck and bewildered.

At the same time, the Celestial Prison Demon Court cultivators stationed throughout the mountain heard the commotion and rushed over.

Were someone to gaze down from the dome of heaven, they’d see beams of light streaking through the sky from all directions. All were headed to where Su Yi now stood!

Meanwhile, in the underground world.

When Su Yi’s booming voice reached the chasm’s depths, it caused an enormous uproar.
