Chapter 494: Being a Junior Brother Isn't Easy!

Song Mu knelt on the ground, daring not to lift his head, yet his peripheral gaze still fell on Wang Xing and Su Yu.

Looking at Wang Xing's appearance, Song Mu couldn't help but let a trace of contempt show on his face.

"Hmph! Though I haven't found the Hall Master's junior brother, you couldn't find him either."

In his view, the Hall Master's junior brother is not that easy to locate.

By sheer accident, he discovered a candidate who could make the detection bead flash.

The result was still not the Azure Dragon Hall Master's junior brother.

Moreover, he was plainly subjected to the Azure Dragon Hall Master's pressure, which made Song Mu feel extremely uneasy.

Naturally, he also didn't want to see Wang Xing fare well.

After all, there had already been friction between the two.

Su Yu's gaze met that of the Azure Dragon Hall Master, and the Master's eyes showed a slight astonishment.

But she quickly returned to normal.

The Azure Dragon Hall Master examined Su Yu carefully and spoke lightly.

"Release your corporeal power."

Su Yu complied.

The Chaos Body Cultivation Technique slowly activated, and in an instant, blood‑red corporeal power surfaced on his body.

It was interlaced with terrifying pressure.

Six snarling blood dragons roared out, deafeningly loud.

Roar! Roar! Roar!!!

The six blood dragons were as bright and transparent as that red Amber.

On the throne, the Azure Dragon Hall Master's body trembled slightly, and a flash of brilliance burst from her eyes.

"Chaos Body Cultivation Technique!"

The Azure Dragon Hall Master became excited.

She hadn't expected that this person, who seemed to click with her, was actually her junior brother.

And... he's so handsome...

However, the Azure Dragon Hall Master's demeanor, when seen by Song Mu, took on a different flavor.

His pupils flicked, and he hurriedly scolded Su Yu and Wang Xing.

"Bold Wang Xing, you've chosen the wrong target; why don't you quickly apologize to the Hall Master!"

Wang Xing's complexion changed slightly; he hadn't expected Song Mu to drag him into this at this moment.

His chest rose and fell repeatedly as he glared at Song Mu.

"Song Mu, the Hall Master hasn't spoken yet; why are you barking here!"

Song Mu believed he had already read the Azure Dragon Hall Master's mind; although he hadn't earned merit before, perhaps now he could.

He sneered, "Didn't you see the Hall Master's reaction? You've already angered her, yet you refuse to admit fault?"

He quickly bowed to the Azure Dragon Hall Master and said, "Master, Wang Xing shows no respect; please punish him severely!"

"You!"

Wang Xing looked at Song Mu in a fit of anger.

Su Yu gave Song Mu a faint glance and said softly, "You're Steward Song Mu, right?"

He arrogantly lifted his head and disdainfully said, "It's me. So what? You're a pretender claiming to be the Hall Master's junior brother, aren't you? Why don't you quickly admit your mistake to the Hall Master?"

"This is my Azure Dragon Hall, not a place for cats and dogs to speak!"

Song Mu looked at Su Yu with contempt.

Although he couldn't see through Su Yu's cultivation, so what?

He carefully observed the Azure Dragon Hall Master's expression and saw no sign of delight.

Since Su Yu certainly isn't the Hall Master's junior brother, then within the Azure Dragon Hall, how could anyone possibly stir up any waves?

Now, all I need is to please the Hall Master; as long as she grants me even a small reward, it will be enough for the rest of my life.

Thinking of that, Song Mu couldn't help but let a faint smile appear on his face.

Su Yu's expression turned strange as he looked at Song Mu and said lightly, "What? The Azure Dragon Hall Master hasn't spoken, yet you're shouting here?"

"Or are you saying... you're even more powerful than the Azure Dragon Hall Master?"

Su Yu looked at Song Mu mockingly.

Although this fellow is an outer steward of the Azure Dragon Hall, Su Yu's observation revealed him to be a fool.

In a place like this, not only a lowly steward like him, even an inner disciple wouldn't dare speak recklessly or guess the Hall Master's thoughts.

Perhaps it's also due to his upbringing; as an outer steward who constantly flatters inner disciples, he naturally treats the Azure Dragon Hall Master as if she were one of those inner disciples.

He began to borrow authority to act arrogantly.

Listening to Su Yu, Song Mu's complexion suddenly changed; he pointed at Su Yu and shouted loudly.

"Kid, this is the Azure Dragon Hall, not a place for an outsider to point fingers. The Hall Master is the pillar of our Azure Dragon Hall; how could I compare to her?"

He hurriedly knelt, lowered his head deeply, and said to the Azure Dragon Hall Master on the throne.

"Please, Master, expel this madman from the Great Hall; a person like that standing in the Azure Dragon Hall insults its very atmosphere!"

The Azure Dragon Hall Master sat quietly on the throne, her crystal‑clear eyes giving Su Yu a deep look.

Then she turned her gaze onto Song Mu.

"Is that all?"

The Azure Dragon Hall Master's voice floated lightly.

There was no emotion.

It made Song Mu pause for a moment, not knowing what the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall meant.

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall looked at Song Mu with a hint of disgust and spoke lightly.

"When will a petty outer sect steward be allowed to point fingers and give orders in the main hall of this hall?"

"Hm?"

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall's eyes stared fixedly at Song Mu.

Even just the gaze alone placed immense pressure on Song Mu.

Song Mu instantly felt as if his entire body were being heavily crushed by a massive mountain.

Even his breathing became unbearably difficult.

His face swelled like a pig's liver, and he hurriedly said, "I deserve death, I only acted for the Master's prestige, please spare me!"

"Hmph!"

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall let out a cold snort, the sound echoing throughout the main hall.

"Does this hall still need a petty steward like you to consider?"

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall's gaze slowly fell upon Su Yu, and his eyes suddenly softened.

"Junior brother… how should we deal with this person?"

The words caused a roar throughout the hall.

Song Mu stared blankly at Su Yu; he hadn't expected that the person his mortal enemy had brought back was actually the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall's junior brother.

Recalling his earlier words, Song Mu's entire face instantly turned extremely pale.

Not a trace of color remained.

He gave a wry smile, suddenly understanding why the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall had said that.

Not only Song Mu, but even Wang Xing was stunned.

He brought Su Yu here solely because Su Yu caused a change in the detection bead.

At first, he thought Su Yu was the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall's junior brother.

But after the words of two inner‑sect disciples at the foot of Azure Dragon Peak, Wang Xing's resolve became even less firm.

Especially after dealing with Song Mu, he grew more doubtful of his own intuition.

However, the situation took a huge turn: Su Yu was indeed the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall's junior brother.

Not only the two of them, even Su Yu was stunned.

He had only followed Wang Xing to test things, not expecting that he truly was the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall's junior brother.

Why?

Hundreds of thousands of question marks floated in Su Yu's mind.

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall seemed to see through Su Yu's doubt and gave a faint smile.

He waved his hand and said,

"Wang Xing, you have merit for bringing back the hall's junior brother; you are granted a Great Dao Enlightenment, and may enter the inner sect!"

"Choose any of the Nine Peaks of the Azure Dragon Hall as you wish!"

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall generously rewarded Wang Xing.

Wang Xing rejoiced, quickly knelt on the ground, and thanked the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall.

"Thank you, Master!"

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall then turned his gaze to Song Mu and the already terrified Zhao Fei, a trace of disgust flashing in his beautiful eyes.

"Zhao Fei, Song Mu, you are sentenced to ten years of closed‑door reflection in Azure Dragon Cliff; you may not leave within ten years!"

Hearing the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall's words, Song Mu's face showed even deeper terror.

Azure Dragon Cliff is the place the Azure Dragon Hall uses specifically to imprison delinquent disciples.

There, there is no sound, no energy, no light.

A person with weak willpower who enters Azure Dragon Cliff will go mad in less than a year.

Let alone ten years.

This punishment practically pushes Song Mu toward a dead end!

He hurriedly kowtowed to Su Yu and the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall.

"I deserve death, I deserve death. Master, spare me—though I have no merit, I have endured hardship; please spare me this time!"

He kept begging for mercy.

However, the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall didn't even glance at him; with a wave of his hand, he tossed the two of them into a spatial rift.

When they reappeared, they were already inside Azure Dragon Cliff.

Inside the main hall, Su Yu stood there, somewhat bewildered.

The development of this matter had already exceeded Su Yu's imagination.

He truly didn't know how he suddenly became the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall's junior brother.

"Could it be… because of the teacher?"

In Su Yu's mind, the figure of Slay Dragon King floated.

He was the only person Su Yu knew who could be linked to the Azure Dragon Hall.

It could only be Slay Dragon King!

Even to Su Yu, it seemed a bit far‑fetched.

After all, even Slay Dragon King, no matter how mysterious, is merely at the Great Dao realm.

Moreover, Su Yu had personally witnessed Slay Dragon King ascend to the Great Dao realm.

How could a Great Dao realm being be a teacher of someone at the Venerable realm?

For a moment, Su Yu became even more bewildered.

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall gestured for Wang Xing to descend.

Soon, in the vast Great Hall, only the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall and Su Yu remained.

"Little junior brother, do you have many doubts in your heart?"

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall's voice, as pleasant as a yellow oriole, rang out.

Su Yu fell silent for a moment, nodded, and said.

"I truly don't know how a person like me, with no support or reliance, became a disciple of the venerable master."

Su Yu did not reveal that he was from the Continent of Ten Thousand Races.

After all, the development of events was somewhat beyond Su Yu's imagination.

Thus, Su Yu merely said he was without support, which was acceptable.

Seeing Su Yu's slightly cautious demeanor, the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall covered his mouth and smiled.

With that smile, the temperature throughout the Great Hall seemed to become a bit milder.

Su Yu glanced at the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall.

At that moment, Su Yu finally saw the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall clearly.

He saw the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall wearing a teal robe, with a thin skirt hem gently hanging.

Through the sheer fabric, one could even see the Master's long legs, as white as snow.

They were as pure and flawless as jade.

A tall figure, combined with the Master's exquisitely beautiful cheeks, round as goose eggs.

These added a few more charms to the Master's overall appearance.

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall looked at Su Yu and couldn't help but smile faintly.

"It seems you still don't know the teacher's identity."

"Teacher?"

Su Yu's eyebrows lifted slightly.

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall smiled faintly, "As for the teacher's identity, it's not yet the time for you to know; all you need to know is that the teacher over at the Ancestral Land is merely an avatar of the teacher."

Hearing that sentence, Su Yu's mind jolted sharply.

Ancestral Land, teacher, avatar!

The three terms delivered a strong impact to Su Yu.

Just from that sentence, Su Yu could confirm that the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall before him must be a disciple of Slay Dragon King.

What Su Yu hadn't expected was that the Slay Dragon King of the Continent of Ten Thousand Races was merely an avatar.

A being on the Continent of Ten Thousand Races that left many sovereigns helpless was just an avatar!

If this spread across the Continent of Ten Thousand Races, the whole myriad races would probably boil over.

Su Yu pondered for a moment and asked in confusion, "Why has the master never told me?"

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall smiled, "The teacher said your arrival at Heaven Beyond Heaven was not in his plans. According to his design, you would come to Heaven Beyond Heaven, but not now."

"Anyway, it doesn't matter; the teacher asked me to tell you that the teacher is stationed at the Ancestral Land, causing no ripples, so you can practice peacefully."

"As for how to return to the Ancestral Land, the teacher told me to tell you when you reach the Law Realm!"

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall explained.

Su Yu nodded, yet couldn't help feeling excited.

He hadn't expected his teacher to be so formidable, that even the venerable who suppresses a great domain are all the teacher's disciples. ＷＷw. ＧóΠъ. oяＧ

How terrifying is the Slay Dragon King's power, then?

Su Yu restrained his excitement and asked curiously.

"Then senior sister disciple, how did you know my identity? And… how many disciples does the teacher actually have?"

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall laughed, "Naturally, it was detected through the aura of the Chaotic Body Cultivation Technique on you. I didn't expect that this body‑cultivation method, impossible for anyone to succeed in Heaven Beyond Heaven, was mastered by you."

No one can successfully cultivate it?

Su Yu's eyebrows lifted slightly, wondering why he faced no difficulty while cultivating.

Then, the Master of the Azure Dragon Hall's voice continued to sound.

"As for the teacher's disciples… aside from the three senior brothers at the Ancestral Land, in Heaven Beyond Heaven, the teacher has… five disciples!"

"I am one of them; as for the other four… you'll know when you meet them,"

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall said softly.

Su Yu was somewhat stunned.

Goodness, how much does the Slay Dragon King like taking disciples? He already has three in the Ancestral Land, and five more in Heaven Beyond Heaven.

For a moment, the image of the Slay Dragon King in Su Yu's mind grew even more mysterious.

The Master of the Azure Dragon Hall looked at Su Yu's expression, and thinking of the whole Azure Dragon Hall's situation, couldn't help feeling amused.

She slightly partook her red lips, teasingly gazed at Su Yu, and said.

"Junior junior brother, since you've come to the Azure Dragon Hall, my junior brother's position is a bit hard to bear!"

After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu sprang up from the bed. Please,

He gulped fresh air, his chest trembling.

Bewilderment, confusion, a flood of emotions rose in his heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously surveyed his surroundings, and became even more perplexed.

A single‑person dormitory?

Even if he managed to get rescued, he should be in the hospital ward now.

And his own body… how could he have not a single injury?

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally settling on the mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome.

But the problem is, this isn't him!, reading the latest chapter content is ad‑free and free.

His previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary bearing, and he had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is just that of a high‑school student…

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Whatever you do, don't tell him the surgery was very successful…

His body and appearance have changed; this isn't even a matter of whether the surgery was done or not—it's immortal arts.

He actually completely turned into another person!

Could it be… that he has time‑traveled?

Besides the mirror placed at the head of the bed with obviously bad feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked one up and read the title, which instantly left him silent.

"Beginner Beast‑Keeper's Essential Manual"

"Postnatal Care for Pets"

"Guide to Evaluating Beast‑Eared Girls of Different Races"

Shi Yu：？？？

The first two books' titles are still normal, but what's up with the last one?

"Cough."

Shi Yu's gaze tightened, he reached out, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain suddenly spiked with pain, and a flood of memories surged like a tide.

I provide you with the high martial arts of the god‑puppet, I have a Synthesis Slot.
