Hearing this, Su Yu completely understood.
This was a huge quest system.
The higher-ups of the Severed Immortal Cliff issued a mission, and the members of the Severed Immortal Cliff only needed to execute it.
Therefore, even if someone were to infiltrate the inner circle of the Severed Fairy Cliff, they would not be able to see anyone from the Severed Fairy Cliff.
Just who was behind such a tight and massive organization?
"Senior, there's nothing wrong with killing Xiaotao. She's not a true member of the Severed Fairy Cliff. However, if you meet her again in the future, I hope that Senior will be careful. The power of the Severed Fairy Cliff is too great. Even the Nine Prefectures Emperor had no choice but to compromise, as he couldn't do anything to them."
Su Yu nodded and put away the purple badge. He wondered … Is this the instruction that Xia Jingyu gave me?
Purple, powerful. The Severed Fairy Cliff seemed to be somewhat similar.
"Let's go." Su Yu turned around.
Yuan Wanbi hesitated for a moment before she bit her lip and followed them.
Yuan Yingying was waiting anxiously outside the courtyard.
The Yuan Family Head was also waiting anxiously.
The two guards who had followed her were found dead in the alley, and it was only after they had reported that Yuan Wanbi had gone missing that they realized that this matter was quite urgent.
Yuan Yingying's eyes lit up when she saw the two of them returning. She was so excited that she forgot about the gap between her and her elder sister. She threw herself into Yuan Yingying's arms and exclaimed, "Elder sister, you're fine! Father and I were afraid that something would happen to my sister. "
Yuan Wanbi's body stiffened. She had already experienced Xiao Tao's betrayal, and she had also experienced heartless and cold darkness. Now, she finally understood how simple Yuan Yingying's emotions were.
His heart warmed up, and he hugged her tightly. His heart was filled with guilt, and he was too ashamed to show his face. "I'm sorry, little sister. Big sister treated you like that in the past. I really …"
As Yuan Wanbi recalled all of her ridiculous and foolish actions, her cheeks became hot, and she was too embarrassed to say anything.
When Yuan Yingying sensed the change in her sister, she felt somewhat overwhelmed. This was the first time her sister had hugged her.
Enjoying her sister's embrace, the regret in her heart disappeared.
"You don't need to say anything. I understand. From now on, let's support each other and become good sisters," Yuan Yingying said as she looked at her older sister.
As Yuan Wanbi stared at his pure and innocent eyes, all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart. Was I bewitched in the past? Why would he do that to her?
When she thought of this, she felt both ashamed and moved, and two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.
Yuan Yingying finally received her elder sister's affection, and tears streamed down her cheeks like rain.
A pair of sisters embraced each other.
After a long time, the two of them finally separated.
Yuan Wanbi's face was filled with shame, and she bowed to the surrounding Yuan family members. "I'm sorry for making everyone worry. Wanbi, I apologize to everyone."
Yuan Family Head's eyes were filled with gentleness, "It's good that you're back. From now on, we can live in harmony."
She was forgiven by her father.
As Yuan Wanbi surveyed the surroundings, her gaze fell upon Shangguan Yunque. Her previous desire to curry favor with the nobles and aristocrats had dimmed significantly.
"Young Master Shangguan, Wanbi is young and ignorant, and she has committed many grave mistakes. I don't have the face to become Shangguan's daughter-in-law. Let's do as my father said and cancel our engagement. I'm sorry for causing trouble for Young Master Shangguan." She had come to terms with it, and she felt relaxed, as if she had been reborn.
However, she was startled when Shangguan Yunque said with a faint smile, "Who said that father-in-law canceled the engagement?"
Shangguan Yunque said with a smile, "It's good to know your mistakes and correct them. I expected that you would use me to get rid of your younger sister, but you gave up in the end, which shows that you still have a good heart. Now that you've put down your grudges and reunited with your younger sister, your state of mind should be at peace, right?"
He then added, "I, Shangguan Yunque, am not someone who likes to look into the past. What happened in the past isn't important anymore, and what's important now is that you've become the Shangguan family's future Young Master. The betrothal gifts have already been sent to the Yuan family, and this engagement has been decided."
Yuan Wanbi was startled by this sudden pleasant surprise.
She had schemed so hard to obtain this engagement, but she had just decided to give it up.
However, her heart calmed down quite a bit, and her pretty face became slightly flushed. She didn't have too many thoughts, as she had in the past.
"Everything is a happy ending." The Yuan Family's Master was quite carefree, as he had finally gotten rid of the worries that had plagued him for decades. He then said, "Haha, today is the day of the five happy events. Let's drink to our heart's content!"
Shangguan Yunque was quite interested in this, and he laughed heartily. "What are the five happy events?"
The Yuan Family's Master clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The Yuan family isn't suppressed anymore, and it's a happy event for us to control the Blue Mountain Range."
"It's a happy event for Yuan Yingying to become the Soul Seizing Palace's female disciple."
"It's a happy event for Yuan Wanbi to get married to the Shangguan family."
"It's a happy event for an intermediate alchemist to appear in the Yuan family."
"It's a happy event for the two sisters to reconcile."
The five happy events were all quite delightful.
At this moment, Su Yu chuckled and said, "Yuan Family's Master, I have something to tell you, and it might be the sixth happy event."
Oh? It wasn't just the Yuan Family's Master, as even Shangguan Yunque was looking at Su Yu. He was sizing him up curiously, as his intuition told him that this old man, who had an otherworldly air, seemed to possess extraordinary abilities.
"The sixth happy event is that the new intermediate alchemist that the Yuan Family's Master is looking for is none other than your youngest daughter, Yuan Yingying."
His words gave rise to a great commotion.
"Yuan Yingying is the intermediate alchemist who made the Grade Four Fairy Expansion Pill? How is that possible? How old is she? "
Even the Yuan Family's Master found this matter incredulous.
Su Yu didn't speak, but took out a jade bottle, which also contained a Grade Four Fairy Expansion Pill. He then said, "She made three pills in total, and the first one was accidentally detonated by the furnace and flew away. As for the remaining two, we can each have one."
Shock appeared on the Yuan Family's Master's face as he looked at Yuan Yingying and asked, "Yingying, tell me! Are you an intermediate alchemist? When did you learn how to make elixirs? "
Yuan Wanbi covered her mouth in shock as she replied, "Father, I know that Yingying has been making elixirs for the past two years. But, making a Grade Four Spirit Pill is beyond my imagination."
The whole Yuan family was in an uproar.
"Oh, my God! The Second Miss isn't just talented in the Martial Path! She even has an even more terrifying talent in alchemy!"
The crowd gathered around Yuan Yingying and asked her all sorts of questions, all of them shocked.
It was the first time that such a young intermediate alchemist had appeared in the Blue Mountain Range.
Yuan Yingying was helpless, so she could only pull Su Yu out of the crowd and say, "It's all thanks to Uncle Su's help. Well, where is Uncle Su? Where is he? "
The crowd looked around, but they couldn't find Su Yu. It was as if he had disappeared into the crowd.
Yuan Wanbi seemed to have lost something as she muttered, "He left."
"No! Don't leave! Yingying can't live without you!" Yuan Yingying's eyes were brimming with tears as she parted the crowd and rushed out of the Yuan family's residence.
In a quiet street, a white-haired old man, who had an air of an immortal, clasped his hands behind his back and disappeared into the fog.
"Brother, are you going to leave just like this?" A sudden voice transmitted from a rooftop on the street.
When Su Yu raised his head and looked over, he saw a handsome young man, who was clad in luxurious white clothes, leaning against the roof.
Su Yu replied calmly, "Brother? Shouldn't you call me grandpa? "
Splutter!
The white-feathered youth laughed heartily and said, "Haha, lad, you aren't even as old as me, yet you still want to take advantage of my seniority?"
Su Yu was surprised by this. "Do you know how old I am? Or, have you seen my portrait? "A cold glint flickered in his eyes.
The white-feathered youth shook his head and landed on the ground. He was still laughing as he said, "That's not it. It's just that my Shangguan family's bloodline is somewhat unusual, and it's sensitive to one's lifespan. I can feel that you have lost a large amount of your lifespan, so you must have lost it for a short period of time. That's why you have aged overnight.
Su Yu felt slightly relieved upon hearing this.
"So what? You aren't just looking for me to chat with you, are you? Isn't it better for you to accompany your fiancée? "Su Yu asked.
This person was obviously Shangguan Yunque.
"Hehe, I obviously have a reason for looking for you. I've heard about the recent events in the Yuan family. The Almighty Divine Master, the Fairy Expansion Pill, the second miss, who turned from a mediocre person into a world-defying genius, and the Elixir Production Alliance's destruction … It's really hard to believe that you are just 19 years old, which is even younger than me. Yet, you possess unfathomable abilities, so I hope that you can follow me back to the Shangguan family.
The Red Blood Palace? Su Yu raised his brows. The Red Blood Palace was one of the two greatest factions in the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands!
"I also invited Yuan Yingying, who is an 18-year-old intermediate alchemist. Tsk, tsk … The Red Blood Palace's elixir-making elders will probably fight over her."
Su Yu squinted his eyes, as he was greatly tempted.
His crisis was looming ever closer, and if he could hide in a powerful faction, cultivate patiently, and strengthen his cultivation, it would be for the best.
The Red Blood Palace was the strongest faction in the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands, and it was guarded by All Creation Old Monsters.
Hence, joining it was exactly what Su Yu wanted.
"Why? Why did you invite us for no reason? There isn't such a good thing in the world, is there? "Su Yu asked.
Shangguan Yunque laughed heartily. "Brother Su, you are overthinking this. Recommending talents to the Red Blood Palace is the responsibility of the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' great factions. Just like how the Blue Mountain Range sends its most outstanding geniuses to the Soul Seizing Palace, our Shangguan family will also recommend its most outstanding geniuses to the Red Blood Palace."
He then added, "Of course, if the recommended geniuses meet the Red Blood Palace's requirements and enter it successfully, then the faction that recommended them will get rewards from the Red Blood Palace. These rewards are for the extension of the region they govern. Although they are meaningless to wandering cultivators like you, they are important to our Shangguan family. So, you don't need to worry about us coveting anything from you."
As a matter of fact, what could a wandering cultivator like Su Yu possibly covet from a super faction like the Shangguan family?
Su Yu felt at ease because of this, as the Shangguan family could recommend one more person to the Red Blood Palace, which meant that they would be able to govern the nine mountain ranges and other regions.
"Fine, I agree. When will we set off?" Su Yu asked.
Shangguan Yunque chuckled. "We will obviously talk about it after we get drunk tonight."
Just like that, Su Yu returned to the Yuan family in embarrassment. Yuan Wanbi rolled her eyes at him, while Yuan Yingying grumbled at him.
During the banquet, Shangguan Yunque announced the Yuan family's seventh piece of good news, which was that he would recommend Yuan Yingying to join the Red Blood Palace.
When they heard this shocking news, the whole Yuan family celebrated, and it was bustling until midnight.
At daybreak.
In the outskirts.
The Yuan Family's Master and Yuan Wanbi saw Shangguan Yunque off with Su Yu and Yuan Yingying to the White Cloud Lake.
When the Yuan Family's Master saw that Su Yu was also being taken away, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Wanbi, why did Yingying bring that old man along with her?"
Yuan Wanbi chuckled when she heard him. "Father, you should be asking why that old man brought Yingying along with him."
When Yuan Wanbi saw the Yuan Family's Master's bewildered look, she revealed the truth to him. "Father, do you really think that my sister's great transformation, as well as the Elixir Production Alliance's destruction in a single night, were all caused by some random Divine Master? In fact, it was all caused by that old man, Su Yuxian. "
"He's a peerless expert, who hid his strength well. If it wasn't for him, Shangguan Yunque wouldn't have brought Yingying along with him. "
When he heard this, the Yuan Family's Master's eyes widened in shock. "What? Him? That low-key old man is the cause of all of this? "
In fact, the Yuan Family's Master had also felt that there was a mastermind behind all of the events that had occurred in the past month. He really didn't expect that it would be this old man, whom he had picked up from the streets.
Yuan Wanbi looked at Su Yu's departing back and chuckled. "Thank you …"
Outside the city, a black-robed old man went into the forest. It was Elder Liao, who had been ordered to look for the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid's material seeds for Su Yu.
In the Elixir Production Alliance's ruined great hall …
Zhao Yin, Zhao Yinghao, and the red-nosed man had all been frozen by Su Yu's time power, and they had all been killed in a single move.
At this moment, a beautiful purple figure was standing on the scene.
She had a slender and curvaceous body, and her fluttering purple clothes couldn't conceal her alluring figure.
She seemed to be around 18 years old, and she was quite pretty. However, her eyes were filled with hatred.
She stretched out a finger and drew an arc in the air, while a wisp of time power gathered once again.
"Time power … It's really him, Su Yu, who killed Uncle Xue Di!" The young girl raised her head and looked at the White Cloud Lake with a cold glint in her eyes. "I found you!"
At this moment, the Yuan Family's experts, who were guarding outside, heard the commotion inside, so they rushed inside and asked, "Who is it?"
The room was quite quiet, and there wasn't anyone there. However, there was still a faint fragrance lingering in the air.
…
After five days of traveling, Su Yu and the others finally reached the White Cloud Lake.
In the past five days, Su Yu had managed to adjust his internal blood energy channels to their optimal state. Now, he just needed to find a place to try to advance into the Fairy Realm.
"Wow! What a big lake! No, it's a sea!" Yuan Yingying exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the giant white lake below. She was quite shocked, as they were standing at a height of 100,000 feet, yet they still couldn't see the end of the lake. They could only see a silver lake, which was covered by white clouds.
Shangguan Yunque stretched his body lazily and said, "We still have a day's journey ahead of us. Let's go down, as there is a relay station for our Shangguan family here. We will need to change our mounts."
The mounts that they had ridden from the Blue Mountain Range had been exhausted from flying for five days, so their speed had obviously slowed down. They wanted to reach the Shangguan family's residence as soon as possible, so it was time for them to change their mounts.
The giant eagle beneath his feet let out a sharp cry as it dived down.
There was an island on the silvery-white lake's surface.
It wasn't big, and it only had a circumference of 100,000 feet. It was planted with many spiritual fruits, which caused the spiritual energy here to be quite dense.
Everywhere on the island, there were wooden stakes, transplanted trees, dug holes, and so on. These were all places for birds with different habits to rest.
When Su Yu used his perception to scan the resting area, he was quite surprised. There were many powerful birds resting here, and the weakest of them was at the Level One Fairy Realm. There were even some terrifying Level Seven Fairy Realm birds here!
"These are all birds raised by our Shangguan family, and there are people guarding them here. They are used by our Shangguan family members to change mounts for long distances. There are more than ten relay stations like this one in the White Cloud Lake, and this is the smallest one. It's also the one that we must pass if we want to reach the Blue Mountain Range."
Su Yu couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. A Level Seven Fairy Realm mount … As expected of the Shangguan family!
After all, the strongest person in the whole Blue Mountain Range was just a Level Six Fairy Realm expert!
"The one guarding this place is an elder of our family, Uncle Lan. We need to wake up the mounts through him," Shangguan Yunque said as he jumped off the plane and shouted, "Uncle Lan? Where is he? It's really strange! "
There were only birds with terrifying auras on the island, and Uncle Lan was nowhere to be seen.
It was unknown whether it was because these birds had been trained, but they were all calmly staying in their nests. They didn't move at all, and it seemed like they were all asleep.
The island was deathly silent.
"Why are they all sleeping?" Yuan Yingying asked. She wasn't used to the island's deathly silence.
Shangguan Yunque shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't that obvious? These birds were all controlled by special talismans. As long as they were activated, they would fall into a deep sleep. Only when one of them was needed would the seal be opened and they would wake up from their deep sleep. Otherwise, who would be able to manage so many powerful birds that were alive and kicking? Moreover, these birds still have their wild natures, so they wouldn't dare to act rashly if there was only one or two of them. But, if all of them released their seals, then they would surely revolt. Something like this has happened in history. The people who were watching the island died on the spot, and many of the experts who came to help were either injured or killed. There was even a Divine Master who was attacked by a group of vicious birds, and his body was torn apart, leaving only his soul to escape. Thus, the control over them is extremely strict. "
Is that so? Su Yu squinted his eyes. This island gave him an ominous feeling.
All of a sudden, a faint smell of blood entered his nose.
Eh? Su Yu was surprised by this, and when he looked at the source of the smell, he saw that it was an ordinary blue ferocious bird. It was lying calmly on the ground like the other birds, and it had fallen into a deep sleep since no one had summoned it.
Su Yu's eyes turned silver as he used his Soul Eyes to see through everything.
His pupils contracted as he looked at it.
"Young master Shangguan, what is this Uncle Lan's cultivation like?" Su Yu stealthily shielded Yuan Yingying behind him, while his gaze became grave.
Shangguan Yunque was startled by this. "He's quite strong, and he should be at least at the Level Eight Fairy Realm. Otherwise, how could he subdue this group of birds?"
Level Eight Fairy Realm?
Su Yu's expression became gloomy, and he grabbed Yuan Yingying as he soared into the sky.
His actions were so sudden that he didn't give anyone any time to react.
At the same time, Su Yu's grave voice transmitted to Shangguan Yunque's ears, "Run away quickly! These birds are all awake, and they are pretending to be asleep. Your Uncle Lan has already been eaten by them! "
Su Yu's Soul Eyes could clearly see a person's head, which had been swallowed by a giant blue bird.
The rest of the giant birds all had human limbs in their bodies.
What terrified Su Yu even more was that these birds' souls were quite active, and they weren't even in a deep sleep state. They were just pretending to be asleep, and they were waiting for people who didn't know what was going on to land on them.
There were more than a hundred birds on the island!
Even a Level Eight Fairy Realm expert had been dismembered, let alone them!
