Beside Hong Yang, She Ziying, dressed in colorful clothes, crossed her arms over her ample chest and sneered, saying:
"Before, Senior Brother Hong Yang wanted to lend a helping hand to that traitor out of loyalty to the sect. But this traitor doesn't know how to appreciate it, and has truly lived up to the saying that pitiable individuals often possess detestable qualities!"
Upon hearing these words, the Moon Wheel Sect disciples present were all in an uproar.
Hong Yang sighed heavily and waved his hand, saying, "Ziying, there's no need to say any more. I can only blame myself for being too sentimental about our past camaraderie."
His magnanimous attitude made everyone feel an urge to stand up for Hong Yang.
Chajin couldn't help but find it amusing.
She knew that She Ziying was only targeting her in order to please Hong Yang.
As for Hong Yang, he took this opportunity to show off his demeanor and generosity.
A man and a woman, how ridiculous and laughable they were.
"Chajin, as a traitor, you should surrender and accept your fate!" shouted a robust young man in a luxurious robe, his voice thunderous.
Chajin coldly glanced at him and said, "Fang Xiu Junior Brother, when I was practicing in the sect, I took care of you many times. If it weren't for me back then, you wouldn't have been able to enter the inner sect so quickly! And now, have you forgotten all about gratitude and loyalty? Are you planning to kick me while I'm down?"
She felt disappointed and angry.
The Moon Wheel Sect disciples in the distance looked at each other because what Chajin said was true. In fact, Fang Xiu's ability to enter the Moon Wheel Sect for cultivation was due to Chajin's connections.
Fang Xiu's face darkened, and he angrily retorted, "Wretch! You are now a traitor to the sect! If I still cherish the past favors, wouldn't that be disloyal to the sect?"
His words were righteous and resolute, shaking the crowd with their impact.
The onlookers erupted in applause.
As disciples of the Moon Wheel Sect, they had to draw a clear line between themselves and the traitor!
Fang Xiu immediately reveled in his self-satisfaction and smiled triumphantly.
"Shameless."
Su Yi glanced at Fang Xiu, a glint of sharpness in his eyes.
With his current mental power, he could kill even a terrestrial immortal, let alone someone of Fang Xiu's caliber.
With a loud thud, Fang Xiu fell to his knees, his smile frozen on his face as crimson blood flowed from his seven orifices. He died on the spot.
The crowd, who had just cheered, were all stunned and stood there in shock.
Then, a panicked scream broke out:
"Who killed Junior Brother Fang Xiu?"
"Damn it, what's going on?"
"It's that guy!"
Many gazes turned towards Su Yi, filled with astonishment and anger.
Previously, they had almost overlooked Su Yi's presence, assuming he was from the Shen family, accompanying Chajin to face punishment from the sect.
But now, they realized something was amiss.
That person actually dared to kill someone in front of their Moon Wheel Sect's entrance!!
Chajin also felt surprised.
As far as she knew, Su Yi was the person who saved Chang Guke's life, but he was also an enemy of the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect, putting Chang Guke in a dilemma.
However, Chang Guke had never shown any ingratitude throughout the entire ordeal.
Compared to that, Fang Xiu appeared shameless and despicable.
"Why is there such a commotion here?"
Suddenly, a deep shout resounded, and a middle-aged man in a black robe walked out of the mountain gate with anger on his face.
Zhao Chi.
An inner sect elder of the Moon Wheel Sect.
"Elder Zhao, that person killed someone in front of our mountain gate!"
The Moon Wheel Sect disciples spoke up one after another, pointing angrily at Su Yi in the distance.
Zhao Chi's face turned dark, his eyes sharp as lightning as he locked onto Su Yi from afar, and sternly said:
"Who are you to dare commit murder in front of the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate? Identify yourself immediately, or else I will ensure you have no place to bury your body!"
His voice shook the heavens.
Hong Yang took advantage of this opportunity and said coldly, "Chajin, why don't you surrender that companion of yours and await your punishment?"
She Ziying angrily retorted, "This is truly outrageous and lawless!"
Zhao Chi's appearance seemed to provide them with support.
"Couldn't we have someone more formidable show up?"
Su Yi shook his head slightly, seemingly disappointed.
Then, he raised his head and looked towards the top of Mount Luomo, speaking calmly:
"Where is the Sect Master of the Moon Wheel Sect? Come out immediately, or else I, Su Yi, will wield my sword and annihilate your Moon Wheel Sect from this world!"
His voice was clear and resounding, not like thunder, but it shook the souls and stirred the blood of the Moon Wheel Sect disciples present.
Their expressions changed, filled with disbelief. This person was too arrogant, daring to challenge their Moon Wheel Sect like this?
Zhao Chi stiffened, Su Yi? Could it be that the youth in the green robe accompanying Chajin was the legendary Great Zhou Imperial Tutor who had recently become famous throughout the Great Wei?
At this moment, a dignified and heavy voice echoed from Mount Luomo:
"Su Yi, you have finally arrived!"
Each word was like the clash of golden weapons, filled with killing intent.
Su Yi!?
In an instant, the Moon Wheel Sect disciples present were dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.
They couldn't have imagined in their wildest dreams that the youth in the green robe accompanying Chajin would be the Great Zhou Imperial Tutor, a terrifying existence whose name had spread throughout the entire Great Wei!
A legendary and horrifying presence!
"It really is him!"
Zhao Chi took in a sharp breath, his spine chilling.
The thought of his previous arrogance, claiming to leave Su Yi with no place to bury his body, filled him with endless regret and chills.
"What? He, he, he... is Su Yi?"
Hong Yang's eyes widened, his scalp tingling.
This seed of cultivation, one of the Seven Sons of the Moon Wheel, felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, completely flustered.
Looking at She Ziying, she also stood there in a daze, as if trapped in an icy cave.
As inheritors of the Moon Wheel Sect, they were well aware of Su Yi's strength and terror, far surpassing ordinary martial practitioners. This was a peerless ruthless individual who had killed over ten terrestrial immortal figures!
Witnessing these scenes, Chajin also realized that Su Yi's reputation in the Great Wei was indeed formidable and widely known!
Whoosh!
While the echoes of the resounding voice still lingered, a figure had already moved swiftly, dressed in a dark blue jade robe, with long disheveled hair and a high crown, exuding a mighty aura.
It was Chu Yukou, the Sect Master of the Moon Wheel Sect, a late-stage Pigu realm cultivator!
"Greetings, Master!"
The crowd, still in shock, woke up as if from a dream and promptly paid their respects, feeling a significant release of the suppressed fear and anxiety, as if they had found their backbone.
"You all, please retreat to the gate," Chu Yukou waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The people complied and went back, each one feeling relieved.
They hadn't overestimated their capabilities to the extent of confronting a terrifying figure like Su Yi.
Su Yi ignored these minor characters.
He looked at Chu Yukou and calmly said, "Speak up. Why did you target Tea Jin? With the methods of your Moon Wheel Sect, you should know very well that she is someone close to me. Yet, you dared to do this. I truly can't understand why you would seek a path of self-destruction. Is the death of Yun Zhongqi not enough?"
Yun Zhongqi!
The mention of this Moon Wheel Sect's elder's name made Chu Yukou's face instantly turn ugly, and a tinge of sorrow and grief appeared between his brows.
"In your eyes, Su Yi, you might have killed a person, but in my eyes, the person you killed was my close relative!" Chu Yukou's face turned cold. "Yun Zhongqi was my master. He brought me into the Moon Wheel Sect, taught and guided me like a father. In my heart, I already regarded him as a father. Do you think I should or shouldn't seek revenge?"
Su Yi furrowed his brow and said, "If that's the case, why not declare war against me directly? Why stoop so low as to target a woman?"
Chu Yukou replied coldly, "If we didn't use Tea Jin as bait, how could we lure you into the territory of Da Wei and make you appear at the gates of our Moon Wheel Sect?"
Su Yi finally understood and said, "So that's how it is. I had already noticed that something was suspicious about the Shen family incident. It turns out that your ultimate goal, Moon Wheel Sect, is to deal with me."
Immediately, he swept his gaze around and said, "If that's the case, Moon Wheel Sect must be confident in being able to defeat me, Su Yi?"
"Of course!" Chu Yukou's expression was indifferent, his eyes cold. "Su Yi, you are indeed powerful, powerful enough to make most elemental cultivators in this world tremble with fear. But today, you will have no place to be buried!"
His voice was filled with undisguised hatred.
It was already dusk, and the glow of the setting sun bathed the majestic Mount Lomo in a beautiful halo.
In front of the grand gate, Su Yi and Chu Yukou confronted each other, surrounded by a solemn and oppressive atmosphere. The Moon Wheel Sect powerhouses observing from within the gate held their breath, their attention focused nervously.
Su Yi smiled, seemingly intrigued, and said, "Oh, with such confidence, you must have something to rely on. Show it then."
He looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "I have no interest in spending the night in these deep mountains and wild ridges."
"Hmph!" Chu Yukou snorted coldly, then took a deep breath and saluted towards the depths of Mount Lomo from afar, saying,
"I respectfully request the presence of my master, to exterminate Su Yi and avenge our Elder Yun Zhongqi!"
His voice echoed in the distance.
Clang!
A cold and bone-chilling sword chant suddenly resounded in the twilight sunset.
At first, the sword chant was barely audible, gradually becoming louder and more intense. Eventually, it grew into a thunderous roar, shaking the heavens and the earth like a tempest, causing mountains to crumble and the seas to roar, echoing in all directions.
Boom!
Under the watchful gazes of countless Moon Wheel Sect disciples, the clouds in the sky churned and parted, revealing a straight fissure that extended all the way to the gate.
At the end of the fissure, a slender and upright figure appeared out of thin air. Clad in gray garments, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, his long hair was tied up with a cyan-golden flying sword.
With his hands behind his back, as he appeared, the resounding sword chant that filled the sky abruptly ceased, and the world fell into silence.
Against the backdrop of the colorful clouds, his upright figure was adorned with a radiance that was too dazzling to gaze upon.
"Grand Elder!"
Within Mount Lomo, the Moon Wheel Sect was in an uproar, filled with overwhelming excitement, and a fanatical reverence was evident on their faces.
Tea Jin's expression drastically changed. How could she not know of the legendary past of this Grand Elder?
Fifty years ago, he was the youngest immortal in the Great Wei, his profound mastery of the sword path making it impossible for anyone in the realm of sword cultivation to look up to him!
And now, fifty years later, what level of terrifying cultivation had he achieved?
"I didn't expect the Moon Wheel Sect to produce such a formidable character," Su Yi also murmured, slightly surprised.
