Chapter 525: Super Connection Household, Blade Wielder!

"Zhuque Palace, with all its prestige, are its disciples all this despicable?"

The pale‑clothed youth's soft voice drifted onto Zhuque Palace's airship.

A few disciples of Zhuque Palace immediately furrowed their brows and glared at Su Yu.

"What did you say!"

A Zhuque Palace disciple glared at Su Yu.

Even Huo Laogai couldn't help but knit his brows, casting a dissatisfied glance at Yan Ke.

"Old Yan, are all your Qinglong Hall disciples this arrogant? Since when has the teaching method of Zhuque Palace become something a disciple can criticize?"

Huo Laogai was somewhat displeased.

If that sentence had been spoken by Yan Ke, it would have been tolerable.

After all, it's Zhuque Palace's fault.

But this sentence was spoken by a Qinglong Hall disciple he had never seen before.

Whether in terms of cultivation level or status,

it was somewhat inappropriate.

Nevertheless, Yan Ke calmly said, "Su Yu is the Junior Hall Master of my Qinglong Hall, his status comparable to mine."

"His words are the words of Qinglong Hall!"

Yan Ke had already been extremely displeased with the methods of the horse‑faced youth.

Now Huo Laogai blamed everything on Su Yu; as the Head of the Enforcement Hall, Yan Ke could not possibly rebuke Su Yu.

Especially while outside, the aura of Qinglong Hall could not be weakened.

Even if the other party is the number‑two figure of Zhuque Palace.

Huo Laogai's brows tightened even more.

"Junior Hall Master?"

"Is Qinglong Hall dissatisfied with my Zhuque Palace?"

He was a bit annoyed; although the horse‑faced youth had overstepped, he was still a Zhuque Palace disciple and had even received the assessment token of the Blade Execution Court.

Bringing it out also represented Zhuque Palace.

As one of the top forces among the Four Great Domains, he naturally could not be outmatched.

Yan Ke sneered, "Su Yu is not only the Junior Hall Master of my Qinglong Hall, he is also the current Hall Master's junior brother; you should consider that carefully yourself."

Upon hearing this, Huo Laogai's complexion changed slightly, and a trace of apprehension appeared in his gaze toward Su Yu.

Huo Laogai gave Su Yu a deep look and said calmly.

"Very well, this time shall count as Zhuque Palace's fault; your Qinglong Hall has vented its anger, so let it end here!"

Huo Laogai flicked his hand, law force surged, propelling the airship toward the city.

Su Yu stared toward the direction Zhuque Palace was departing, feeling a bit puzzled.

Is Zhuque Palace really that easy to talk to?

It couldn't be that they would let him off so easily just because he's the Hall Master's junior brother.

After all, the other side is still a person of Zhuque Palace.

Su Yu didn't know which was stronger, Zhuque Palace or Qinglong Hall.

But being able to command the entire Southern Domain, Zhuque Palace's strength should not be weak.

Why, upon hearing he's the Hall Master's junior brother, would they just give up?

It wasn't only Su Yu; even some Zhuque Palace disciples were puzzled.

On Zhuque Palace's airship, a disciple asked with doubt.

"Elder Huo, why is Su Yu so arrogant? Even as Junior Hall Master of Qinglong Hall, he shouldn't slander our Zhuque Palace!"

"If this spreads, others will think Zhuque Palace is weaker than Qinglong Hall by a margin."

Hearing the disciples' words, Huo Laogai said calmly.

"The Hall Master of Qinglong Hall and the Palace Master are brothers‑in‑the‑same‑generation, and Su Yu is the Hall Master's junior brother; so tell me, what relation is Su Yu to the Palace Master?"

At those words, the Zhuque Palace disciples were instantly stunned.

They had never known that the Palace Master of Zhuque Palace and the Hall Master of Qinglong Hall were brothers‑in‑the‑same‑generation.

With that in mind...

Doesn't that mean Su Yu is the Palace Master's junior brother?

"Hiss!"

On the airship, a sound of a sharp intake of cold breath echoed.

A disciple cast a pitying glance at the horse‑faced youth lying on the bed.

After this battle, whether he could take part in the Blade Execution Court's assessment became questionable.

Not to mention having offended Su Yu.

When they returned to Zhuque Palace, the horse‑faced youth's fate would be far from pleasant.

Huo Laogai ignored the disciples and approached Hong Luan, asking.

"Have you uncovered Su Yu's background?"

Hong Luan sat quietly on the deck, the breeze gently rustling her red robes, adding to her allure.

Hong Luan shook her head, "I can't see through this person."

Huo Laogai's expression hardened.

Who is Hong Luan?

She is the Saintess of Zhuque Palace, whose cultivation has reached the terrifying 980,000‑mile Dao.

What is mastered is also the Eight‑rank Great Dao.

Even if placed within the Central Immortal Realm, it can still be counted as a Heavenly Proud.

Yet even Hong Luan cannot see through Su Yu's true nature.

Now that's a bit interesting.

Huo Laogai smiled and said, "In the end you're still the palace lord's junior brother; it seems that in this Zhi Dao Ting assessment, Hong Luan you will face an opponent this time."

Hong Luan's crimson lips barely opened and closed, and the corners of her mouth traced a faintly perfect smile as she said.

"How intriguing!"

On the Qing Long ship.

Su Yu looked at Yan Ke and asked softly, "Hall Master, why did the elder of the Zhu Que Palace let it go so easily?"

Yan Ke chuckled and said, "Su Yu, there's something you don't know: do you know why the top forces of the Four Great Domains are only Qing Long Hall, Zhu Que Palace, Bai Hu Gate, and Xuan Wu Sect?"

Su Yu shook his head.

He hadn't paid attention to that.

Yan Ke explained, "That's because within the Four Great Domains, the four directional forces share the same roots."

"Whether it's the master of Zhu Que Palace, the master of Bai Hu Gate, or the head of Xuan Wu Sect."

"They are all fellow disciples of our Hall Master, with the Hall Master ranking above those three; next is the Bai Hu Gate master, then the Zhu Que Palace master, and finally the Xuan Wu Sect head."

"I don't know why the Venerable Lord didn't tell you, but these four are all your senior brothers and sisters!"

Yan Ke said with a smile.

"Tell me, under such a relationship, if any side encounters trouble, would the other three forces ignore it?"

"Therefore, within the Four Great Domains, there can only be four directional forces."

"This is a universally acknowledged fact throughout the Four Great Domains!"

Hearing Yan Ke's explanation, Su Yu's face turned extremely surprised.

Su Yu truly hadn't heard Qing Long say that before.

On the contrary, the Qing Long Hall Master had previously said that his teacher had five disciples in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, and the Qing Long Hall Master was one of them.

He didn't expect that the Zhu Que Palace master, the Bai Hu Gate master, and the Xuan Wu Sect head were also the teacher's disciples.

That is, his own senior brothers and sisters.

One should know that these four are all beings of the Venerable Realm!

Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help but gasp a cold breath.

Hiss!

His teacher… is terrifying indeed!

At the same time, a faint thread of anticipation grew in Su Yu's heart.

If he remembered correctly, aside from the masters of the four directional forces of the Four Great Domains,

he should have another senior brother.

He didn't know what kind of being that unseen senior brother might be.

The spaceship sped forward, and the distance to the Zhi Dao Ting city was now down to the last few thousand kilometers.

At the Qing Long ship's speed, it would take only one or two minutes to arrive.

Su Yu stood on the deck, his gaze fixed on Zhi Dao Ting.

At that moment, Gan Tianlei stepped forward, his eyes looking at Su Yu with a slight complexity.

Seemingly conflicted, after a moment Gan Tianlei mustered his courage and said to Su Yu,

"Thanks for what you did before."

Gan Tianlei's voice was somewhat stiff.

Previously, if Su Yu hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have fallen, but would have been ambushed by the horse‑faced youth.

He would have been severely wounded.

Now, the Zhi Dao Ting assessment is imminent; if he were severely wounded, he would inevitably fail the assessment.

Thus losing the qualification to enter Zhi Dao Ting.

In this regard, Gan Tianlei actually felt gratitude toward Su Yu.

But recalling his previous attitude toward Su Yu and a series of provocations, he felt he was courting death.

Gan Tianlei's heart was extremely conflicted.

Su Yu, hands clasped behind his back, did not even shift his gaze from Zhi Dao Ting.

He simply said lightly, "I promised my senior sister that I'm the captain this time, and I will ensure you can smoothly enter the third gate."

"If trouble strikes before the assessment even begins, then my role as captain would be utterly useless."

Listening to Su Yu's words, Gan Tianlei's spirit stirred slightly.

After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said to Su Yu,

"I apologize for the earlier matters, Young Hall Master!"

This time, his voice was no longer so stiff, but much softer.

Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly upward, he said nothing, merely standing quietly there.

Soon, the Qing Long ship appeared outside the city.

It stopped when only a few kilometers remained.

At this moment, one could clearly see three large characters emblazoned on the towering cloud‑piercing city gate.

"Zhi Dao City!"

Su Yu stared at the three characters, as if sensing an overwhelmingly domineering aura emanating from them.

In his mind, it was as if a scene had appeared.

In the scene, a middle-aged man holding a war blade faced forward toward thousands of mortal enemies and suddenly swung out a single slash.

That slash, together with heaven and earth, seemed as though it would be completely severed.

With a boom, heaven and earth seemed to turn into a sheet of white.

Countless enemies, beneath that slash, were thoroughly reduced to fallen souls.

The scene came to an abrupt halt.

Su Yu could not help but retreat a step, looking in horror at the three large characters of Blade-Wielding City.

However, at this moment, he could no longer sense any fluctuations from them.

At this time, Yan Ke walked over slowly and said softly.

"Did you notice it too?"

"What did you see?"

Su Yu suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "I saw a person!"

"A person?"

"A person holding a war blade — one slash, and heaven and earth returned to ruin!"

Su Yu described the scene from his mind out loud.

Yan Ke smiled, smiling somewhat radiantly, patted Su Yu's shoulder, and said with a laugh.

"The three characters of Blade-Wielding City were personally inscribed by a Sage of the Blade-Wielding Court. It is said that within these three characters lies a trace of that Sage's intent. Whoever can comprehend this intent can become this Lord Sage's disciple."

"However, for hundreds, even thousands of years, no one has ever been able to comprehend anything from those three characters."

"Some people have seen scenes through the three characters, but those scenes were fragmentary, and no one has been able to comprehend anything from the scenes."

"Young Hall Master, do your best. If you can comprehend that Sage's intent, your path in the Blade-Wielding Court will become incomparably smooth!"

Yan Ke said with a laugh.

Su Yu was shocked. He had not expected that the three large characters, which looked extremely ordinary, were actually inscribed by a Sage.

No wonder they carried such impact.

"Alright, let's go. No flying vessels are allowed to enter the Blade-Wielding Court, so we still have to walk in."

Yan Ke led Su Yu and the other two, stowed the Azure Dragon Boat, and brought everyone into Blade-Wielding City.

Blade-Wielding City had many people — most were those who could no longer survive in the Four Great Domains, or who had offended a great many people.

In this respect, it was similar to the City of Slaughter from back then.

It was just that compared to the City of Slaughter, the Blade-Wielding Court appeared far more orderly.

After all, it was established by a top-tier power within the Central Immortal Domain.

Even the most vicious of people would not dare to cause trouble here.

Let alone them — even Venerables would not dare to offend the Blade-Wielding Court!

Under Yan Ke's lead, Su Yu and the others arrived at an extremely magnificent house.

This was a base specifically belonging to the Azure Dragon Hall within Blade-Wielding City.

Even though few people came, servants still cleaned here every day, keeping it spotless at all times.

"Rest here for a simple while. The assessment should be set for tomorrow. I'm going to the Blade-Wielding Court!"

Yan Ke instructed the three of them, then strode out of the house and walked toward the depths of Blade-Wielding City.

Su Yu and the other two did not waste time either. Each found a room and prepared to rest properly.

After all, they had been traveling for so long, and the assessment was tomorrow — they needed to keep themselves in peak condition at all times.

Su Yu sat cross-legged on the bed. The little azure dragon lazily swam out from the pocket, found a comfortable spot, and went back to sleep.

Su Yu looked at the little azure dragon with a doting gaze.

Although the little azure dragon had awakened now, it had become extremely drowsy. Su Yu had also asked the system about it.

The system said it was fine, so Su Yu left it alone.

After all, Su Yu himself might make a mistake, but the system could not make a mistake.

Su Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind entirely filled with the scene he had just seen outside Blade-Wielding City.

Su Yu closed his eyes. The scene that had disappeared earlier actually reappeared in his mind.

Su Yu's body jolted violently — he had actually entered meditation!

At the same time.

In the depths of Blade-Wielding City, a massive pavilion rose from the ground. The pavilion had a full ninety-nine floors, and atop the highest floor, a grand palace hall was built. gòйЪ. ōΓg

The palace hall was resplendent with gold, gleaming with golden light. A powerful aura swept out from within the palace hall.

Inside the palace hall sat twelve people garbed in golden robes, each one carrying a golden blade on their back.

And these, impressively, were all experts from the Blade-Wielding Court.

They were furthermore known as... Blade-Wielders!

After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu bolted upright from the bed. Please,

He took great gulps of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion, bewilderment — all kinds of emotions surged through his heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, only to become even more bewildered.

A single-person dormitory?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital room right now.

And his own body... how could it have not a single injury.

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

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was quite handsome.

But the problem is, this isn't him! Read the latest chapter content free of ads.

Before, he was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary bearing, and 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 is fundamentally not a matter of whether or not he had surgery, but rather 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 the title instantly left him silent.

"Beginner Beast Keeper's Essential Beast-Raising Manual"

"Postnatal Care for Pets"

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

Shi Yu:???

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

"Cough."

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

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