Chapter 95: Old Experts in the World
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Qingzhou
After Su Yang swept through the Eight Directions with his sword, it became much quieter.
However, this was only on the surface, as dark currents surged below.
Qingzhou Immortal Alliance
They were well aware of what was happening in Qingzhou.
Dedicated to hunting unorthodox cultivators, especially those who were targeting their Qingzhou Immortal Alliance, these individuals not only spoke wildly but also claimed they would flatten the Qingzhou Immortal Alliance. They challenged others not to hide like rats.
They were furious about these matters.
However, their leader, who was the founder, was currently in the critical stage of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and had no intention of taking action.
The other members did not want to go out and face Su Yang head-on either.
They knew that Su Yang had killed many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. For the sake of the Qingzhou Immortal Alliance’s reputation, they weren’t willing to risk their lives. These kinds of matters were better left to their founder to handle.
Moreover, during the past three days, they had not been idle. They were aware that Su Yang had likely broken through to the Martial Saint realm.
Only when their leader emerged from seclusion and combined their formations and artifacts would they have a chance in battle.
In summary, while they were angry and dissatisfied, their lives were the most important.
Besides the Qingzhou Immortal Alliance being extremely displeased with Su
Yang,
All the old experts in the entire world had also set their sights on Su Yang.
Three days ago, Su Yang’s reputation had already spread.
Apart from possessing a strange treasure and being a suspected Martial Saint at the age of nineteen, he had the terrifying strength to easily slay twelve Heavenly Transformation realm experts!
However, they also knew that one person had escaped from Su Yang’s hands.
That person was Gu Tong.
Since Gu Tong could escape, there was a chance for those at the Heavenly Transformation realm.
After some consideration, many of the old experts who were hiding in obscurity and had little life left were tempted.
Without a fight, they would undoubtedly die.
If they fought, perhaps they could break through?
Breaking through to Martial Saint meant gaining an additional two hundred years of life, enough for them to live two more lifetimes!
They weren’t idiots. Even with Su Yang alone, or even three to five experts at the Heavenly Transformation realm, they still didn’t believe they would be a match for Su Yang, even if they pushed themselves to the limit.
So, during these three days, they collected information about Su Yang while contacting their old friends.
Among them, some had sealed themselves in coffins to extend their lives. They kicked open their coffin lids and emerged on the spot!
In just one day, thirty-seven experts at the limit of the Heavenly Transformation realm gathered.
They were all the kind of old men and women who had lost most of their teeth, had age spots on their faces, and could pinch mosquitoes to death with their loose facial skin.
However, it was evident that age hadn’t dulled their wits.
They formed a senior citizen army, preparing to live another lifetime!
Three days had passed, and they were now fully prepared.
They had arrived within the Qingzhou region.
On the desolate land, a group of rapidly flying people gradually descended.
“Is this Qingzhou?”
A group of old men and women looked at the scene before them with hazy memories.
In their younger days, they were renowned figures who had traveled all over the Nine Provinces, witnessing the scenery of various states.
Qingzhou was most famous for its green mountains and clear waters.
However, when they looked around now, they couldn’t even see a blade of grass, let alone green mountains and clear waters.
“These unorthodox cultivators are truly a calamity. We only heard about how terrible they were before, but now it seems to be quite serious. If this continues, it will be a catastrophe for the entire world’s foundation,” said Yan Wenyao, his forehead furrowing.
If the unorthodox cultivators only killed some ordinary people, harmed a few civilians, or committed some unforgivable deeds, they wouldn’t have much emotional fluctuation. They had seen and done too much to be easily moved by such actions.
However, when it came to a situation where an entire province was on the brink of collapse, they couldn’t just stand by. Right now, it was just one province, but how long had it been since the appearance of the unorthodox cultivators? A hundred years? If this continued, how long would it take to bring calamity to the entire world?
“Why don’t we deal with this Su Yang first and then take care of the unorthodox cultivators on the side?” someone proposed.
“Wei Old Ghost, I didn’t expect a ruthless killer like you to be the first to suggest this. Haha…”
“Hmph, if the unorthodox cultivators were just ruthless killers, I wouldn’t care. But the destruction of the world is a different matter. I’m not as hypocritical as you all. Even if I break through to the Martial Saint realm next, if the world is destroyed, it will still affect me. Naturally, I have to prevent such a thing.”
“Alright, we’re all people near the end of our lives, and we still have to argue. Let’s go, we definitely need to deal with the unorthodox cultivators, but let’s first see what this nineteen-year-old Great Xia Sword Immortal is capable of…”
“I hope the secrets he holds can help us break through. Unlike the Great Xia Martial Saint, who only managed to break through with the help of a Martial Saint Pill…”
The flying boat continued to sail through the sky.
During the time Su Yang spent wielding his sword, he occasionally observed the unorthodox cultivators he had located.
There were a total of nine Foundation Establishment stage unorthodox cultivators he had located. Unfortunately, after these nine individuals had fled, they simply found a place to hide, and Su Yang had not yet found the location of the Qingzhou Immortal Alliance.
During the three days, the flying boat had flown through more than half of Qingzhou, and with Su Yang’s sword intent covering the area, he would definitely detect it if they passed by the location of the Qingzhou Immortal Alliance.
Su Yang had contemplated creating a sword technique that could directly lock onto the opponent’s location.
In reality, it wasn’t feasible at the moment. His current level of sword intent was insufficient to achieve such an absurd feat.
Finding the opponent through intention alone was already quite remarkable. After all, even intention required some clues as a prerequisite, such as using Ji Xing as an example.
Hmm… not a bad idea, let’s focus on improving the sword intent first.
“By the way, what’s the meaning of that group of old folks at level 30?”
Su Yang was constantly releasing his sword intent and naturally sensed that someone was approaching him in an encirclement formation.
Within a few breaths, they had already arrived beside his flying boat.
Among them, a few faces looked familiar, as he had seen them when observing Gu Tong.
It seemed that these old guys wanted to know the reason behind his rapid improvement. Indeed, when people discovered something valuable, they immediately became interested.
Fortunately, his sword was sharp enough.
“Locking Heaven Array!”
Chains emerged from the void, forming an absolute blockade within a radius of a hundred miles.
Even the flying boat in motion was imprisoned in place.
At the front of the flying boat, Gu Xiu looked calm as he watched everything.
“Here comes another batch of sacrificial lambs…
After the Locking Heaven Array was formed, one by one, the old folks took to the air and surrounded the flying boat.
Gu Xiu cast a casual glance over them and saw that there were quite a few renowned figures among them.
Wei Shankong, the Peach Blossom Swordsman, the Candle Dragon Blade King, the Invisible Lord…
Each of them had their legendary stories.
However, without exception, they were all old, old to the point of near death.
Many of them had originally been hanging on by a thread, but now that they knew about Su Yang’s situation, they had emerged from their coffins.
“Young man inside the flying boat, aren’t you coming out?” Wei Shankong spoke first.
The entire flying boat had been surrounded by them, and Su Yang couldn’t escape. What followed would be a test of strength.
However, if they could obtain a way to break through to the Martial Saint realm through conversation, they wouldn’t necessarily need to resort to violence.
“We want to know how you managed to cultivate so quickly,” Wei Shankong continued. “You’re quite astute, young man. If you truthfully share this secret with us, we will naturally leave. We don’t have to fight you.”
“We know you’re formidable, young man. If we fight, some of us old bones might lose our lives. So, we’re willing to talk first.”
Wei Shankong had a benevolent appearance and smiled as he spoke.
In reality, he had the highest level of sin among those present.
Sin: IV999
“Dying for the most part? I’m not so sure about that.”
“It seems that you, young man, have a clear perspective.”
Wei Shankong fixed his gaze on Su Yang, unable to determine whether Su
Yang’s words were a sign of submission or mockery.
However, people tend to think positively..
