Su Yu's heart was filled with sorrow.
He had thought that once he entered the Sanctuary, he could slowly cultivate. Given time, when his strength was high enough, he would be able to see Xianer openly.
Unexpectedly, the Sanctuary had changed and was about to be dissolved.
Fate had made a fool of him. Not only had he lost the opportunity to cultivate, but he had also been killed by the Holy King!
Whoosh —
A beautiful figure flew in front of Su Yu.
"Holy King! Please give him a chance! "Xia Jingyu bowed, kowtowing and pleading.
She was touched by Su Yu's persistence, but bitter that he had risked his life for Xianer.
The Holy King's murderous intent deepened, "Step down, or you will die too!"
"Please grant my wish, Holy King!" Xia Jingyu kowtowed, her eyes filled with determination.
"Humph! How dare you! "The Holy King was furious!
One person had challenged his authority, but now another person had come. Where was his authority?
With a single thought, the Holy King could decide the life and death of both of them!
But at this moment.
"Master! Please give Su Yu a chance! "Qiu Changjian kowtowed, his heart trembling.
Only by understanding Su Yu's past could he understand Su Yu's persistence.
For gratitude and affection, he did not hesitate to give up his life.
It would be a pity for such a passionate person to perish.
"Even you …" The Holy King was shocked for the first time.
His ten nominal disciples, immersed in his authority all year round, did not even dare speak loudly. But now, for Su Yu, they had defied his will!
"Holy King! Please give Su Yu a chance! "
Whoosh whoosh whoosh —
Countless older prospective Holy Disciples kowtowed in unison!
The wills of a hundred people gathered in a single line and kowtowed in unison.
They had been moved by Su Yu.
In order to see a person, he did not hesitate to rebel against the Sage King. Even if there were millions of people, he would still go forward.
Why couldn't such a person be given a chance?
"You …" The Holy King was furious. For Su Yu, all the disciples had defied him!
Three people made a tiger.
One person objected, but the Holy King dismissed it with a laugh.
Two objected, but faced it seriously.
Three objected, but faced it seriously.
Now, a hundred people objected!
Even the Holy King couldn't help but ask himself if he had made the wrong decision.
Looking at the pleading faces, the Holy King's heart trembled.
After a long silence, he shot a fierce gaze at Su Yu, his murderous intent still present.
"Good! I'll give you a chance. I'll also give all of you a chance! You can stay in the Holy Region for another month. If you can advance to become a Holy Disciple in the Wind and Cloud Competition a month later, there's no harm in keeping you by my side! "
The Holy King finally chose to take a step back.
However, the price of this step was extremely bloody.
He stared at Su Yu and said coldly, "But Su Yu, if you do not achieve the strength of a Holy Disciple in a month, how do you think I should deal with you?"
Su Yu's heart turned cold.
The Holy King, who was a legend in terms of martial prowess, was forced to retreat by him, causing his prestige to fall to the ground.
He was already being magnanimous by not killing Su Yu on the spot.
If Su Yu was unable to satisfy him after a month, the consequences could be imagined.
Nodding deeply, Su Yu said solemnly, "I know, die!"
The Holy King said coldly, "That's right! Die! But the one who died wasn't you, it was her!! "
The Holy King pointed his finger and a strand of strange holy power entered Xia Jingyu's body!
Xia Jingyu snorted softly as she felt some kind of destructive power in her body.
"If I do not withdraw my holy power, she will explode and die in a month!!" The Holy King's voice was cold and filled with anger.
Su Yu's expression changed greatly, "I was the one who defied you, why would you let her die?"
Swish —
The Holy King flicked his sleeves and left. One moment he was in front of Su Yu, the next moment he was in the palace, as if he had teleported!
Even if Su Yu used his full control of time, he would not be able to achieve such a speed!
Slap —
The palace fell into darkness as the huge stone door slowly closed.
Before the door closed, the cold voice of the Holy King could be heard, "For someone who does not care about death, the true pain is not death, but the loss of someone close to you …"
Su Yu stared at Xia Jingyu absent-mindedly, unable to express his inner remorse.
He should have been the one to bear the threat of death, but it had landed on the innocent Xia Jingyu.
"Jingyu, I …" At this moment, Su Yu felt indescribably guilty.
Xia Jingyu's expression was calm as she smiled, "I'm fine."
Although she tried her best to restrain herself, she could not hide the slight fluctuations in her voice, revealing her inner instinctive fear of death.
Xia Jingyu smiled and comforted him, "Su Yu, if you can find Xianer, I will die without regrets."
Su Yu's heart trembled, his heart aching.
He owed Xia Jingyu too much and would never be able to repay her.
"Jingyu, I will not let you die!" Su Yu was silent for a long time, his eyes filled with determination, the same determination he had when he risked his life for Xianer.
Staring at Su Yu's gaze, Xia Jingyu's heart thumped. The fear of death had dimmed, replaced by a sense of tranquility.
Her smile was like a lotus flower in summer, pure and beautiful.
"Brother Yu, you can do it." Xia Jingyu pursed her lips, her face slightly red like the sunset.
The words "Brother Yu" had brought the two of them closer.
Xia Jingyu was fourteen, and so was Su Yu. He was only a few months older than Xia Jingyu, so they should have been the same age.
Thus, Xia Jingyu had never called him that.
Su Yu's heart was filled with warmth. He owed Xia Jingyu too much!
The most important thing right now was to save her life!
He had to crazily cultivate within a month and reach the standards of a Holy Disciple!
Swish —
Qiu Changjian walked over, his eyes filled with deep admiration. Before this, he had only admired Su Yu.
"Su Yu! Good job! "Qiu Changjian exclaimed. He glanced at Xia Jingyu, deeply moved. He could not help but secretly envy Su Yu.
With such a beauty in his life, what more could he ask for?
Qiu Changjian's tone turned serious, "Do you have the confidence to reach the standards of a Holy Disciple?"
"I do not know what the standards of a Holy Disciple are," Su Yu said bluntly.
Qiu Changjian's eyes flashed, "It's simple, defeat me!"
Among the Ten Great Holy Disciples, Qiu Changjian was ranked tenth. He was the weakest Holy Disciple.
According to the rules, defeating the tenth ranked Holy Disciple would give one the qualifications to become a Holy Disciple.
Su Yu was shocked!
Qiu Changjian, Level Nine Lower Tier, could kill Su Yu with a flick of his finger.
Such powerful abilities were the standards of a Holy Disciple?
If that was the case, would Su Yu have to reach Level Nine Lower Tier to save Xia Jingyu's life?
"Let me ask you again, do you have a specific training plan?" Qiu Changjian's eyes shone.
Su Yu shook his head, "Training in seclusion, then sparring."
Qiu Changjian softly reprimanded, "If it is such an ordinary training method, then you can only watch as Junior Sister Xia dies."
"Master's assertion that you will never become a Holy Disciple is not a lie!" Qiu Changjian said sternly.
Su Yu's heart trembled, "Senior Brother Qiu, please guide me!"
Qiu Changjian's eyes flashed, "I can indeed guide you on a path of rapid breakthrough, but it is unpredictable and dangerous. You could easily lose your life. Are you willing to try?"
Almost without hesitation, Su Yu nodded, "My life has long been out of consideration. Jingyu's life is the most important."
He would rather die than be a burden to Xia Jingyu.
"Alright! Come with me! "Qiu Changjian said.
Xia Jingyu's steps fluttered as she chased after him, "I'll go too. I could die in a month anyway."
Qiu Changjian hesitated, then nodded in agreement.
A moment later, the group descended from the Heavenly Sanctuary, arriving at the southeast corner of the Mortal Sanctuary.
There, the forest was dense and primordial.
The area was vast, at least a hundred miles wide.
A cold and gloomy aura filled the forest, making people shudder.
"That is the Evil Forest," Qiu Changjian said. "Countless vicious villains have been banished there. Each of their strength is extraordinary, and they are all infamous villains in the Alliance of the Nine Empires. Some are ruthless killers, some have raped and killed countless innocent women. Not only are they extremely powerful, but they are often cruel and cunning.
They are difficult to capture. "" The Empire Alliance requested the Sanctuary to send a Holy Disciple to capture them and banish them to the Evil Forest. They are not allowed to take a step out of the forest, or they will be killed without mercy! "With the Holy King in charge, how could the villains dare to take a step out of the forest?
Xia Jingyu did not understand, "If they are so cruel, why not bring them to justice? Wouldn't it be a disaster to leave them alive?"
"That's a good question." Qiu Changjian praised, "Banishing them to the Evil Forest instead of killing them is to give the Sanctuary disciples actual combat experience! In the midst of battle, they strive to advance and stimulate the progress of their cultivation base. "
"In the past hundred years, many disciples have disappeared from the Sanctuary. Most of them have left, and the rest rest forever in the Evil Forest."
Su Yu's heart trembled, and he could not help but ask, "So, what is the strength of these villains?"
Qiu Changjian's expression was solemn, and he was extremely worried, "The weakest is Level Seven of the Martial Path! The strongest is Level Nine Lower Tier of the Martial Path! "
The weakest was Level Seven of the Martial Path? Su Yu and Xia Jingyu gasped in shock!
As expected of the villains that shook the Alliance of the Nine Empires, none of them were easy to deal with.
Xia Jingyu found it difficult to understand, "Senior Brother Qiu, do you mean to let us enter the forest to fight the villains? We have seen the danger, but where is the opportunity to break through? "
Fighting to the death could indeed increase one's cultivation base, but the effect of sparring was not that much weaker.
This risk was not worth it.
Qiu Changjian praised, "Very good, you've asked the key question."
"Fighting to the death is indeed difficult to advance one's cultivation base by leaps and bounds, but every criminal has a saint grade spirit elixir!"
Su Yu was no stranger to spirit elixirs; he had taken them many times.
But what was a saint grade spirit elixir? Looking at Xia Jingyu, she was equally puzzled.
"The saint grade spirit elixir is a modified version of the spirit elixir consumed by the martial artists of the mortal world. The refining materials are different, but the effects are as different as heaven and earth.
"Let's put it this way, the effect of a hundred top grade spirit elixirs is far inferior to one saint grade spirit elixir. With the cultivation bases of both of you at Level Five Peak, swallowing a saint grade spirit elixir will allow you to break through to Level Six Upper Tier without any suspense, crossing two levels!
"Of course, as your cultivation base increases, the effect will weaken, and it will be difficult to make a breakthrough again. But, to put it bluntly, this is the fastest way to break through in the Sanctuary."
Su Yu's breathing quickened, and Xia Jingyu's eyes lit up.
Breaking through to Level Six Upper Tier in one go? This … this was unimaginable in the mortal world.
"In addition, the Level Nine criminals also have two divine grade spirit elixirs! Their effects are even more amazing! "Qiu Changjian's eyes lit up at the mention of divine grade spirit elixirs.
And divine grade spirit elixirs?
