「Several days later.」
「Donglong Island.」
"Hm?"
On Luoyue Mountain, Su Ye was in the middle of his secluded cultivation.
His eyes snapped open, a crimson, savage glint flashing within them.
This had nothing to do with his temperant.
Any cultivator would be far from pleased to have their seclusion violently interrupted.
’Attacking Donglong Island’s Array, disturbing my seclusion... You have a death wish...’
Su Ye’s face darkened, his expression turning cold with killing intent.
WHOOSH.
He ceased his cultivation and stood up, flicking the sleeves of his black robes.
Su Ye channeled his Magical Power, transforming into a beam of azure Escape Light and shooting out of Luoyue Mountain in an instant.
「Outside Donglong Island.」
A spirit ship, as swift as a seagull, was anchored on the sea’s surface. Upon it, two Foundation Establishnt cultivators stood poised against the wind.
It was none other than Li Hengyan and his short, stout junior brother.
"Mr. Li, why did you order the Feiyan to open fire..." the short, stout junior brother asked, his heart sinking in dread.
"Just saying hello," Li Hengyan laughed, completely unconcerned.
’Is he trying to get us killed?’
’He calls *that* saying hello?’
The short, stout junior brother looked stunned, his chubby cheeks twitching.
Firing on another’s Island Protection Array was practically a declaration of war...
He sighed inwardly but didn’t dare say anything more.
After all, this Mr. Li, Li Hengyan, was a True Disciple of Qinghe. Not only that, he was a blood relative, giving him a noble status.
He was absolutely not soone that an ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivator with no backing in the sect, like himself, could afford to offend.
Just then, the short, stout junior brother’s eyes suddenly fixed forward.
SWOOSH.
From within Donglong Island, a beam of azure light shot toward them like a cot.
And as the Escape Light arrived, a terrifying Divine Sense, comparable to that of a Late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator, swept over them with razor-sharp intensity.
"Ugh, this Divine Sense is so strong..." The short, stout junior brother’s face went pale.
His face contorted in pain, his features nearly twisting into a knot as warm blood trickled from his nose and mouth.
Just then.
"So he has so skill..." Li Hengyan snorted coldly.
The space between his brows twitched, and he released the power of his own Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Divine Sense.
The two forces of Divine Sense collided violently in the sky. The air itself seed to ripple with distorted waves.
"Late-stage Foundation Establishnt? And what’s more..." Su Ye’s expression was grim.
His gaze swept over the two n, landing on the "Cyan Jade Lotus" insignia embroidered on their robes.
"People from the Cyan Profound Sect?" Su Ye raised an eyebrow.
BOOM!
A muffled explosion echoed through the atmosphere.
The two evenly matched forces of Divine Sense slowly retracted, maintaining a standoff.
’This man is at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt, yet his Divine Sense can actually reach the level of a Late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator?’
Li Hengyan watched Su Ye, a wary look flashing in his eyes.
’If you weren’t from the Cyan Profound Sect, you’d already be dead ten tis over...’
Su Ye’s face was calm, but he was sneering inwardly.
With the true power of his Divine Sense, he could have stunned his opponent for several breaths.
For a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, that was enough ti to launch several fatal attacks.
’However... given his cultivation and age, his status within the Cyan Profound Sect must be quite high.’
’Perhaps he’s the True Disciple of so Crystalization-stage cultivator... If he were to die here on Donglong Island, it would be troubleso...’
Su Ye mused, a hint of caution rising in his mind.
He had always been a proponent of overwhelming others with a superior cultivation stage.
Killing enemies above one’s own stage might look cool, but the risks were extrely high.
’With my many advantages, once I reach the Crystalization stage, I’ll be able to crush cultivators of the sa level with a flick of my wrist...’
’Why go looking for trouble during the Foundation Establishnt Stage?’
Therefore...
His gaze turned icy, his ink-black pupils reflecting Li Hengyan’s figure.
’Even if I’m going to kill him, I’ll have to wait until he leaves the island, then activate the Illusion Spirit Pearl to conceal my identity...’
Su Ye calculated silently.
Across from him, Li Hengyan was completely oblivious that he had just taken several strolls before the gates of hell.
At that mont.
A beam of cyan Escape Light erged from within Donglong Island.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Li, please, stop..." Xiao Sheng appeared, standing on the wind with a wry smile.
He activated his Divine Sense and sent a ssage to Su Ye.
’Mr. Su, please don’t make a move. This man’s na is Li Hengyan. He is a blood relative and True Disciple of Qinghe, and his status is extrely high.’
’His cultivation has also reached the Late-stage Foundation Establishnt, and he has defeated several cultivators of the sa level. His combat power is formidable.’
’He must be here for this ti. Please, Mr. Su, leave this to ...’
’I guarantee that you and the Luo Family will not be implicated...’
Xiao Sheng’s tone carried a hint of bitter resignation.
"Mr. Xiao..."
Hearing this, Su Ye raised an eyebrow. Out of respect, he decided not to act for the ti being.
"Mr. Li, I am willing to return to Jade Dew Island and do my part for the sect..."
Xiao Sheng cupped his hands and sighed.
"Excellent. Junior Brother Xiao understands the bigger picture. I am impressed."
Li Hengyan smiled, his expression softening considerably.
He glanced provocatively at Su Ye, who stood nearby with his arms crossed.
’Hah.’
’A re Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator. So what if he has a Late-stage Divine Sense?’
’Faced with the might of a superior sect, once he learned of my strength and identity, what could he do but back down?’
"Mr. Su, thank you for your hospitality during this ti." Xiao Sheng cupped his hands in a salute to Su Ye.
"Mr. Li, let’s go..." He rode his Escape Light and flew toward Li Hengyan.
But at that mont, a playful look appeared on Li Hengyan’s face.
"Go? Go where?"
Li Hengyan chuckled, then turned to Su Ye with a serious expression and said coldly,
"The Luo Family of Donglong Island has wantonly abused a Blood Dao Formation, sacrificing living souls without restraint. Relevant personnel have investigated, and the evidence is conclusive."
"Now, in the na of the Cyan Profound Sect, I shall punish you all according to the law!"
"What?" Xiao Sheng was stunned for a mont.
"The matter of the Blood Dao Formation was settled long ago. It was all baseless rumors..." Xiao Sheng said anxiously, defending Su Ye.
"Baseless?" Li Hengyan sneered and pointed at Su Ye.
"Why don’t you ask him? Does he dare let board the Ghostly Flood Dragon for an inspection?"
Xiao Sheng’s lips went dry. He was speechless.
The Ghostly Flood Dragon’s Blood Dao Formation and its practice of hunting living souls had long been an open secret...
It was just that the Cyan Profound Sect had always tacitly approved of it.
The Luo Family’s Ghostly Flood Dragon did indeed violate the law, but normally, no one cared.
Loose Cultivators could smash the report button until it broke, and not a single person from the Cyan Profound Sect would co out to do anything about it.
But when an excuse was needed...
...this was the perfect reason.
"This isn’t proper procedure! If you’re acting on the sect’s orders, where is your Law Enforcent Token?"
Xiao Sheng, at his wit’s end, argued feebly.
"Law Enforcent Token?"
"I am a True Disciple of Qinghe. Are you saying I can’t represent the Cyan Profound Sect?"
Li Hengyan said arrogantly.
"But..." Sweat beaded on Xiao Sheng’s forehead as he racked his brain to defend Su Ye.
Just then.
"Mr. Xiao, it seems you can’t handle this after all..."
Su Ye remarked teasingly.
"Mr. Su... don’t be rash! He’s at Late-stage Foundation Establishnt..."
Xiao Sheng’s expression changed, and he tried to stop Su Ye.
"Late-stage Foundation Establishnt?"
Su Ye smiled, a brilliant smile.
He looked at Li Hengyan.
"I’ll beat you until you kneel!"
