Chapter 593: Welcome to My World!

Good fellow, are you really refusing to give me face?

Bai Lie's forehead was streaked with rows of black lines.

After all, I'm at least the son of the Bai family head.

I can't believe I'm giving myself no face.

However, the boss's words actually sound quite reasonable.

After several months, I have only just cultivated up to 970,000 li.

Compared to the beginning, my Great Dao Power has only risen to 20,000 li.

Even now, Gan Tianlei is lying in bed, yet his cultivation has reached 990,000 li; the final breakthrough is only 10,000 li away.

Meanwhile, Hong Luan and the others have already reached the 1,000,000 li level.

The breakthrough will come within this period.

After all, both Hong Luan and Xuan Kai have strong talents and were selected as official Blade Court members.

There's no need to mention Kang Jing.

Lao Yin Bi, being an old Yin Bi, had already reached the limit of the Great Dao Realm when he joined the God‑Slaying Squad.

Although he hasn't broken through yet, give him some time and the breakthrough will be easy.

Looking at myself…

I'm really lagging behind.

Bai Lie couldn't help but feel a lingering silence.

Before arriving at the Blade Court, as the sole son of the Bai family head, his future was bound to take charge of the entire Bai clan.

Although the position of Bai family head has no cultivation restriction.

As long as one has a clever mind, they can still assume it.

Yet in this world, it's always the law of the jungle.

Without sufficient strength, even wealth that could rival a nation can only make one a sheep, mercilessly devoured by hungry wolves.

"Perhaps… I should start cultivating too."

Bai Lie muttered to himself.

Then Su Yu and Bai Lie stepped onto the Blade Court's teleportation array.

The Central Immortal Realm is vast, its territory comparable to the sum of the Four Great Realms; even if one flies across it using a flying device,

it would still take a long time.

However, the Blade Court has teleportation arrays that can send you to other designated arrays.

This way, a lot of time can be saved.

This is the advantage of being a great power.

A bright azure glow shimmered inside the room, the space subtly warping.

The next moment, Su Yu and Bai Lie's figures vanished between heaven and earth.

At the instant they disappeared, in the shadows, a young man slowly emerged, his expression grim.

He looked like a bald vulture, with a hint of madness.

"Su Yu, inside the Blade Court you might still be safe, but once you leave, the world is vast and there are many who would seek your life!"

The young man's face showed a slight obsession.

Almost madness.

The young man produced a jade tablet.

He then spoke a few words to the tablet.

"He is out; he can act now."

After speaking, the jade tablet flashed with a blue radiance.

The young man, without hesitation, crushed the jade tablet outright.

"This time… five early‑stage Sage Realm strongmen and one mid‑stage Sage Realm, I want to see if you can come back alive!"

The young man snarled at the void.

If Su Yu were here, he would surely realize that this person is a member of the Flame God Squad who stepped forward after Su Yu killed Yan Ming Tian.

After a moment, the young man looked around, ensured no one had noticed him, then left satisfied.

Dong Lin City.

Dong Lin City lies on the frontier of the Great Wei Empire; it's just a small town, yet it houses a Blade Court teleportation array.

Although it is a city under the Great Wei Empire, once covered by the Blade Court's array, it effectively falls under the Blade Court's jurisdiction.

This is something everyone knows.

At the Dong Lin City teleportation array, blue radiance flickered, revealing Su Yu and Bai Lie's figures.

"We've arrived at Dong Lin City; it's only half a day's journey to Luo Feng City, so we still have plenty of time; we can have some fun here."

Bai Lie said excitedly.

Blade Court members finding a way out of the Blade Court's realm is not that easy.

Unless faced with a major incident or a mission, it's generally hard to obtain permission to leave.

After all, beneath the Holy Sword lies the Divine Abyss.

Blade Court members must hunt the chief to balance the divine aura within the Divine Abyss.

It's impossible for all Blade Court members to leave; who would be left?

But Su Yu is different; his special status prompted Xiao Yun to wave his hand and grant them an exit permit outright.

Thus, Bai Lie was overjoyed.

He was inherently a free-spirited, lax person; after being detained in the Blade Execution Hall for a few months, he naturally couldn't restrain himself.

That's why he urged Su Yu on.

Su Yu's mouth curled slightly as he patted Bai Lie on the shoulder.

"We can play, but I have to finish my business first."

"Business? Besides the Soul-Returning Herb, what other business do you have, boss?"

Bai Lie asked, somewhat puzzled.

Su Yu gave a faint smile and did not answer Bai Lie's question.

He merely gestured for Bai Lie to follow him.

"Halt, whoever approaches!"

Just as the two were about to leave the teleportation array, a loud shout rang out.

A soldier clad in armor barked at the two.

Bai Lie glanced over, somewhat displeased.

The soldier said flatly, "Anyone entering East Lin City must pay the entry fee before they can enter the city!"

"Screw that! This grandpa has never paid anyone in his life, and you want me to pay?"

Bai Lie jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shouting impatiently.

The soldier scoffed, "If you don't pay the entry fee, you can't enter the city—that's our city lord's rule."

"Heh, let your city lord come out and see who this grandpa is!"

Bai Lie snorted coldly, took out his identity token, and with a slap threw it at the soldier's face.

That token was none other than Bai Lie's identity token from the Blade Execution Hall.

The soldier was about to flare up, but quickly noticed a war blade hovering above the token.

Upon seeing it, his face changed dramatically; he hurriedly dropped to one knee, trembling.

"I didn't know two Blade Wielder sirs were coming; please forgive my offense, sirs!"

The soldier's words drew the attention of many nearby.

"Blade Wielder?"

The crowd turned their gazes to Su Yu and Bai Lie.

The Blade Execution Hall enjoys great fame throughout the Central Immortal Realm, ranking among the top powers, and its Blade Wielders naturally hold lofty status.

Generally speaking, a city like East Lin City rarely sees a Blade Wielder visit.

After all, even the weakest Blade Wielder is at the peak of the Great Dao Realm.

Meanwhile, the lord of East Lin City is merely a strong cultivator of the Law Realm.

Although the Central Immortal Realm is powerful, it is already rare for a small city to possess even a single Law Realm expert.

After all, a Law Realm expert, placed in any of the Four Great Domains, could become an elder-level figure in a top-tier power.

Even a peak master!

Put bluntly, eighty percent of Blade Wielders could thrash the lord of East Lin City.

"Hmph!"

Bai Lie gave a cold snatch, took back his token, and slapped the soldier's face.

"Come on, tell me now—do I still need to pay the entry fee?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

The soldier hastily shook his head.

Only then did Bai Lie grin, put away his token, and wave at Su Yu.

"Boss, let's go!"

Su Yu followed calmly, walking slowly out of the teleportation array amid the envious gazes of the passersby.

After stepping out, Bai Lie turned his head to look at Su Yu.

"Boss, what business do you have?"

Su Yu paused, gave a faint smile, and said, "Just follow me!"

Afterwards, Su Yu actually led Bai Lie straight toward the outskirts.

Bai Lie's facial doubt grew even stronger.

"Not entering the city?"

"Could he be heading straight to Maple Fall City?"

"But going to Maple Fall City now is too early, isn't it?"

However, watching Su Yu's back, Bai Lie set aside his thoughts, shook his head, and followed.

Just as the two departed, a series of figures appeared in the void, each exuding a fierce aura.

Not in the slightest weaker than Yan Ming Tian!

Indeed, each one is a cultivator of the Venerable Realm.

One of them is even stronger than Yan Ming Tian was back then.

Mid Venerable Realm!

"Tsk tsk tsk, this guy is still rather cautious, actually preparing to go straight to Maple Fall City—too bad he ran into us."

A thin middle-aged man said mockingly.

The leading middle-aged man said calmly, "Don't underestimate him; since he could defeat Yan Ming Tian, his strength must be around early Venerable Realm."

His several companions replied indifferently.

"That Yan Ming Tian fellow is strong; one-on-one, aside from our boss, none of us can match him. But boss, don't forget—this time we've all been mobilized."

Don't say it's just a brat at late stage of the Law Realm; even a late-stage Venerable Realm expert could be killed by us few joining forces.

A middle-aged man said disdainfully.

In his view, perhaps they didn't even need to join forces; just the boss could kill Su Yu.

After all, once you reach the Venerable Realm, the gap between even minor stages is huge.

And our boss is a mid-stage Venerable Realm expert, his combat power is unmatched!

The leading middle-aged man said calmly, "Remember, we're not from Great Wei; we're just a bunch of assassins."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched upward.

"Naturally!"

Everyone instantly concealed their figures and quickly caught up to Su Yu and Bai Lie's speed.

"Boss, where exactly are you going?!"

Bai Lie followed listlessly behind Su Yu, originally thinking Su Yu was heading toward Falling Maple City.

But who knew, Su Yu actually brought him to a mountain peak.

Bai Lie felt even more puzzled.

With business to attend to, what are we doing on a mountain peak?

Su Yu stopped, looked around, as if observing something.

Then Su Yu turned around and said calmly.

"This is the place."

"What do you mean, boss? Why did you bring me here? Boss, you wouldn't have any designs on me, would you? I'm a guy!!!"

Bai Lie crossed his arms and couldn't help but say.

Su Yu was somewhat speechless, ignored Bai Lie, and instead slowly gazed into the void, his voice icy.

"Everyone, you've been following us this long; it's time to show yourselves!"

"What do you mean 'following us this long'? Is someone tailing us?"

Bai Lie also realized it at that moment.

His face darkened slightly as he followed Su Yu's gaze.

Rip!

As if the sound of a curtain being torn rang out, the space before them was slowly ripped apart.

Six figures appeared before Su Yu and the other.

The leading middle-aged man glanced calmly at Su Yu.

"I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to leave East Facing City; turns out you noticed us."

"Not bad for being able to kill Yanming Tian, a heaven's pride; your reaction is indeed impressive!"

The middle-aged man looked at Su Yu with some admiration.

Su Yu said calmly, "Since you've sensed something's off and still followed, do you guys have a screw loose?"

"Hahaha!" the middle-aged man laughed. "Even if something's off, so what? My intel shows only you two, no other experts following."

"Just a late-stage Law Realm and a peak Great Dao Realm; even if something's off, it's nothing more than a deathbed struggle."

The middle-aged man said lightly.

"But I'm curious—do you really think killing Yanming Tian lets you stand against us few?"

The middle-aged man asked curiously.

Su Yu gave a faint smile, his gaze slowly sweeping over the six.

Then he turned his head to glance at Bai Lie.

"You just watch from the side."

"Me?"

Bai Lie found it hard to believe.

"Have me just watch from the side? Is Su Yu planning to take on the entire assassin squad alone?"

"How could that be?"

Bai Lie's heart sank a little.

Then he saw Su Yu's hand slowly produce an Eight Trigrams Diagram.

Su Yu hurled the Eight Trigrams Diagram forcefully toward the firmament.

In the next instant, the Eight Trigrams Diagram instantly expanded.

Terrifying suction forces instantly enveloped Su Yu and the six assassins.

The leading middle-aged man's brows furrowed slightly.

"What is this?"

He merely felt his whole body as if mired in a swamp, unable to exert any strength.

The next moment.

The middle-aged man merely felt his body become light and weightless, then flow directly into that diagram.

"What place is this?"

"What's going on?"

"Boss??"

The six were swept into the world of the Eight Trigrams Diagram, a pitch-black expanse, causing their hearts to involuntarily panic.

They asked in a panic.

Immediately after, a cluster of light ignited.

Suddenly, it was the mid-stage Venerable Realm expert who unleashed the power of his law.

The faint light allowed the six of them to finally see this expanse of heaven and earth clearly.

"What kind of damned place, not even a bit of light?"

One person asked doubtfully.

The leading middle-aged man furrowed his brows; obviously even he didn't know what place this thing before him was.

"Could it be that painting he just threw out?"

Just as everyone was still puzzled,

A cold voice echoed throughout the entire heaven and earth.

"Welcome to my world!"
