Chapter 1046 - Making Them Accomplices



All of them were overcome with alarm and astonishment.

They’d already been planning to flee, but before they could take action, Yue Bailing’s qi sealed them completely. They couldn’t even move.

They were all in the Profound Illumination Realm. With a Profound Serenity Emperor’s qi blocking them, they were like deer staring down a tiger.

Whoever moved, died!

Yue Changtian, Yue Shuihan and the others’ hearts swelled. A man and his sword, that’s all, but he swept through his enemies in a flash, like an immortal of the sword. How often do you see something like this in the mortal realm?

As if he’s transcended this world!

Yue Yunshan thought back to what Su Yi had said as they returned via the Thousand Whirlpools Star Road and muttered, “So, Fellow Daoist Su was telling the truth. To him… this really was no more than a trivial inconvenience…”

At the time, Yue Yunshan hadn’t taken this at all seriously. He figured Su Yi was just trying to comfort him.

Who’d have thought… everything he’d said would come true?

“At the end of the day, my horizons are too narrow,” Yue Yunshan whispered.

“If Elder Yan Suni saw this genius of the Dao of the Sword, I’m afraid she’d do everything in her power to spar with him,” the man in the feather coat said in a daze.

Yan Suni was the top sword cultivator of the Nine Extremes Profound Capital!

She was famed throughout the Wilds as the peerless lady sword immortal of her generation. Her magnificence was unmatched, and she would have dazzled any era she’d appeared in.

Even the Nine Extremes Profound Capital’s Imperial Apex Realm Pure One had praised Yan Suni’s talent. He said she was the best of her generation in the Wilds, and that she was almost comparable to Su Xuanjun’s disciple Qing Tang!

Of course, he’d said that a long time ago.

Five hundred years ago, after the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force inexplicably passed away, Empress Qing Tang seized control of the Grotto of Abstruse Force and proclaimed herself sovereign!

In terms of reputation, foundations, and cultivation, Yan Suni had long since ceased to be Qing Tang’s match.

Even so, she was a first-rate swordswoman in the Wilds, enough that even most older-generation cultivators paled by comparison.

Comparing Su Yi to Yan Suni was already extremely high praise.

Alas, the man in the feather coat’s thinking was a bit skewed…

Clang!

Su Yi put away his sword, turned, and descended from the sky.

He paid no heed to the ashen-faced Red Lotus cultists. Instead, he waved the man in the feather coat over. “Come here.”

The man in the feather coat was stunned.

Casually beckoning over someone from the Nine Extremes Profound Capital was unquestionably extremely arrogant and rude.

But the man in the feather coat dared not reveal how he felt. Instead, he calmed himself, stepped through the sky, and appeared before Su Yi, clasping his fist. “Might I ask what guidance you have for me?”

Su Yi said casually, “Did Yue Shichan ask you for help, or were you acting on another’s orders?”

The man in the feather coat was confused, but he nonetheless answered, “Yue Shichan asked one of our grand elders for help, and the grand elder sent me here.”

“Oh,” said Su Yi. “You’re an Emperor of the Nine Extremes Profound Capital, and since you were here on orders, you were representing your sect. Tell me, how do you think you performed today?”

The man in the feather coat was instantly a bit flabbergasted, and he felt thoroughly ill at ease. Is this guy seriously chastising me?

Before he could respond, Su Yi continued, “It might not be polite to say it, but today, you were tough on the outside and timid on the inside. Your behavior has brought shame to the Nine Extremes Profound Capital.”

Everyone present gasped. None of them had anticipated that after the battle ended, Su Yi would call the man in the feather coat over to chastise him!

The man in the feather coat’s face was red with anger and embarrassment.

“A Profound Serenity Emperor from Red Dust Demon Mountain, that’s all. Had you stubbornly held fast, doing everything in your power to help the Yue Family, do you really think that Mo Hengtian would have dared to kill you?”

Su Yi really was a bit displeased.

The man in the feather coat had come here on orders, as representative of the Nine Extremes Profound Capital. He ought to have been able to use his sect’s prestige to force their enemies to compromise.

Yet this sniveling coward was pathetically weak. In the face of Mo Hengtian’s threats, he backed down without a fight!

In doing so, he screwed the entire Yue Family over!

If Su Yi wasn\'t here, Yue Changtian would have been doomed!

The man in the feather coat felt like he had no face left, and he tried to argue. “Even if he didn’t dare to kill me, his cultivation base is greater than mine…”

Su Yi cut him off here, “You knew he wouldn’t kill you, but you still backed down. You do realize that your cowardice almost got Yue Shichan’s father killed?”

The man in the feather coat said nothing, but his expression was shifting and uncertain.

“By backing down, you hurt your sect’s prestige. If word gets out, you’ll lose face, but more than that, everyone will think the Nine Extremes Profound Capital is a sect of cowards. You’re the top Daoist sect in all the Wilds, yet even some old codger from Red Dust Demon Mountain was enough to intimidate you!”

Su Yi wasn’t the least bit polite. His rebuke left the man in the feather coat so ashamed he almost wanted to die, and he wanted nothing more than a hole to hide himself in.

Yue Bailing and the others couldn’t help but resonate with Su Yi’s words.

Thinking back on it carefully, although the man in the feather coat had come to help them, he really had come across as pathetically weak.

Had he really gone all out, would Mo Hengtian have dared throw his weight around?

After all, the man in the feather coat had the Wilds’ greatest Daoist sect behind them, the Nine Extremes Profound Capital!

How could Red Dust Demon Mountain dare offend a faction like that lightly?

Su Yi took out a jug of wine, then took a sip. “Never mind the rest. How do you think the grand elder who sent you here is going to treat you now? And how would your sect’s higher-ups appraise your behavior?”

The man in the feather coat instantly stiffened, and his clothes were drenched with cold sweat.

But this time, it wasn’t shame or anger, but rather, fear and worry!

It was true! When he reported back to the sect, given the grand elder’s unyielding disposition, she was sure to lose her temper and punish him severely when she learned what had happened.

The thought left the man in the feather coat despondent.

“But I can give you a chance to make up for it,” said Su Yi, sharply changing tacks.

The man in the feather coat was stunned. Then, he took a deep breath and solemnly clasped his fist. “Your every word was like a wake-up call, and I’m deeply ashamed of myself. Please, enlighten me. How can I make amends?”

Su Yi said casually, “Go kill the rest of those the Red Lotus Cult sent here. That’ll be enough.”

The Yue clansmen instantly understood Su Yi’s true intentions. Despite themselves, their hearts shook. He’s… he’s obviously trying to make the Nine Extremes Profound Capital complicit in what happened here!

If he kills them, and if the Red Lotus Cult tries to take revenge on the Yue Family, I’m afraid they’ll first have to weigh the consequences of offending the Nine Extremes Profound Capital!

Furthermore, the Nine Extremes Profound Capital would surely come to our aid. After all, they’re the ones who sent the man in the feather coat to intervene in the Autumn Waters Assembly!

If the man in the feather coat kills the Red Lotus Cult Emperors, he’ll have created an enmity between the cult and his sect!

The Nine Extremes Profound Capital is the Wilds’ top Daoist sect. How could they remain uninvolved?

But when they heard Su Yi’s words, the Red Lotus cultists’ expressions shifted dramatically. Someone cried out, “We’ve already admitted defeat. Are you really going to kill us all?”

Another was so terrified that he immediately turned tail and fled.

The plateau was instantly in chaos.

But Su Yi and Yue Bailing took action, suppressing every last one of them, including their guests.

An old man rasped bitterly, “We only came here to watch, and we never did anything to harm the Yue Family. Why can’t you let us go?”

“You came here to support the Red Lotus Cult. Do you think you can just pretend nothing happened, and that you can leave, just like that?” Yue Bailing snorted coldly.

Su Yi glanced at the man in the feather coat. “If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. But you ought to understand that killing them will make up for your mistakes, and you’ll be able to report back without shame. Furthermore, you won’t have to fear these people getting revenge.”

The man in the feather coat fell silent. Then, without any wasted words, he attacked, cutting down the suppressed cultists and guests one by one.

Without the slightest mercy!

It was a bloody sight.

But the Yue clansmen didn’t feel at all sorry for these people.

The winner was the king, and the loser was a bandit. Had they lost today… would their enemies have shown mercy on them?

More importantly, Su Yi was doing this for the Yue Family’s benefit!

Once he’d finished, the man in the feather coat faced Su Yi and bowed. “Sir, thank you for your guidance. You’ve taught me the error of my ways!”

Su Yi’s expression mellowed, and he nodded. “I’ve effectively made accomplices of the Nine Extremes Divine Capital, and that’s sure to provoke some of your sect’s old-timers displeasure and distaste. After all, no one likes being plotted against. But you can simply tell them the truth. If they’re upset, let them be upset with me.”

Su Yi paused, then added, “Right, my name is Su Yi, and I’m Miss Shichan’s friend.”

He could already anticipate that after the man in the feather coat reported to his superiors, the old-timers of the Nine Extremes Profound Capital were sure to ask Yue Shichan about his origins and background.

But Su Yi didn’t care in the least.

The man in the feather coat’s heart shook as he realized that the young man in blue wasn’t at all concerned about provoking the sect’s ire!

Su Yi…? Just who is he? Where does he get such confidence?

The man in the feather coat was a bit bewildered, but there was one thing he was certain of. Even if they realized they’d been plotted against, after hearing about Su Yi’s heaven-defying combat prowess, the sect’s old-timers wouldn’t act against him.

After all, he was a Profound Illumination Emperor in his late teens, yet he’d single-handedly slain five Profound Serenity Emperors with ease! No one in the Wilds would dare offend someone like that lightly!

“Has Miss Shichan taken on a master?” Su Yi asked out of nowhere.

The man in the feather coat shook his head. “She only joined the sect last year. Despite her extraordinary talent, she has to wait three years before she’ll get the chance to become one of our senior’s closed-door disciples.”

“But Miss Shichan really is exceptional, and she has transcendent comprehension when it comes to the Dao of the Sword. Although it’s only been a year or so since she entered the sect, she’s already drawn the attention of numerous old monsters. Furthermore, Yan Suni recently broke precedent to announce that three years from now, she’d give Miss Shichan the opportunity to cultivate alongside her.”

Here, the man in the feather coat looked a bit envious. He was an established Emperor himself, but he was well aware that if Yue Shichan really took Yan Suni as her master, her future accomplishments would far surpass his!

“Yan Suni? So, it’s her…” Su Yi’s eyes shone with a hint of reminiscence.

He had a deep impression of Yan Suni.

Because this matchless beauty of the Wilds’ top Daoist sect had, long ago, been viewed as capable of competing with his youngest disciple, Qing Tang.
