Chapter 659: Azure Dragon's Doubt

At the foot of the Holy Mountain.

The Holy Palace Hall Master and Vice Hall Master stared with solemn expressions at the Azure Dragon Saint sitting carelessly on the ground before them.

The two dared not act rashly.

If the Azure Dragon Saint were to fight them now, their hearts would actually calm down a bit.

After all, everything is proceeding according to their plan.

But now....

The Azure Dragon Saint acted like he had given up, sitting on the ground, which left the two somewhat bewildered.

The Vice Hall Master sent a voice transmission to the Hall Master: "Hall Master, what should we do? This guy doesn't care about Su Yu's life or death, the Old Ancestor's side..."

The Vice Hall Master was puzzled, really unable to figure out why the Azure Dragon Saint would act this way.

Is it that he doesn't care about Su Yu, or that in the Azure Dragon Saint's view, Su Yu won't come to harm?

The Holy Palace Hall Master also frowned tightly: "Don't rush; all we need to do is buy time, however long we can. Not fighting is actually a good thing for us."

"After all... if those two go berserk, we two aren't a match for them!"

The Holy Palace Hall Master's eyes were filled with apprehension.

Don't look at the Holy Palace Hall Master being a Nine Heavens expert, the Vice Hall Master an Eight Heavens strong one; even combined they might not be a match for the Azure Dragon.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Half an incense stick's worth of time passed.

The Azure Dragon Saint suddenly opened his eyes, gazing toward the Holy Mountain.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Looks like your plan has fallen through!"

"Huh?"

The Holy Palace Hall Master's brows twitched slightly, unsure what the Azure Dragon Saint meant to express.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the Holy Mountain's location. gsxsw. c0

Golden light shot up instantly, enveloping the entire Holy Mountain.

Immediately, cracks split open across the Heaven's Dome.

The cries of an Immortal Crane rang out.

Moreover, golden raindrops fell from the Heaven's Dome.

Throughout the Holy Palace's realm, a sorrowful mood permeated.

It seemed as if an important person had fallen.

Seeing this, the Holy Palace Hall Master and Vice Hall Master's pupils contracted slightly.

"Holy Rain falls; a Saint has fallen!"

"Saints are the most powerful beings in heaven and earth; although above the Saint Realm there is still the Divine Realm."

"But upon reaching the Divine Realm, one has completely transcended the world; generally speaking, they cannot be killed."

"Just like the King of Divine Spirits of old, facing the combined forces of Su Wu Ming and many other Divine Realm experts, he did not slay them."

"He could only seal them."

"But Su Wu Ming and his companions also, for exposing their power, were rejected by the world."

"They were forced to leave the Central Immortal Realm and wander the Star River."

"The fall of a Saint can cause heavenly and earthly portents."

"Just as on the Myriad Races Continent, the King-Conferred Strong One was already the pinnacle of existence there."

"The fall of a King-Conferred Strong One also brings blood rain."

"On the Heaven's Dome, golden Holy Rain kept dripping down, merging into the Holy Mountain, actually strengthening its power."

"Holy Rain, since it contains the character 'holy,' is naturally extraordinary."

"It nourishes all things, needless to say."

"The Azure Dragon Saint gazed at the sky-filling Holy Rain, gave a light smile: 'Tsk tsk tsk, the mighty Grand Offering of the Holy Palace, relying on the Holy Mountain's blessing, was actually killed by my little disciple.'"

"You Holy Palace people are really weak!"

"The Azure Dragon Saint mercilessly mocked."

"Anyway, the faces of both sides have already been torn off; being arrogant, what can be done?"

"The Vice Hall Master's face sank slightly, he snorted coldly: 'Hmph, who died is still unknown; maybe it's your little disciple.'"

"The Holy Palace Hall Master also spoke gloomily: 'Our Holy Palace's Grand Offering, although cultivation is not strong, relying on the Holy Mountain's power can also have the cultivation of the Fourth Heaven of the Saint Realm; killing a Second Heaven cultivator is easy!'"

"I'm afraid that when the Azure Dragon Saint sees his disciple fall, he will go completely mad!"

"The Azure Dragon Saint didn't care; facing the two's mockery, he grinned."

"Hehe, then let's wait and see!"

"Joking, even if the Grand Offering can temporarily wield the power of the Fourth Heaven of the Saint Realm, but Su Yu this guy is a dual cultivator."

"Moreover, he still has a peak Imperial Realm little Azure Dragon in his pocket, comparable to a First Heaven of the Saint Realm strong one."

"How long has it been?"

"The Grand Offering definitely couldn't kill Su Yu, so... it must be that the Grand Offering fell."

"Time passed bit by bit, the Holy Rain also completely ended."

"Under the nourishment of the Holy Rain, the Holy Mountain's energy grew ever richer; even on its peak one could see golden mist enveloping the whole peak."

"It looks like a divine trace, extremely splendid."

"Huh? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

"The Holy Palace Hall Master's brows slightly furrowed."

By rights, the Grand Elder killed Su Yu; by now he should have shown up.

Yet he still hasn't appeared.

For a moment, the Holy Hall Master felt a bad premonition.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the mountain peak.

That person simply sat cross-legged on the peak and began circulating his cultivation method.

Around him, countless golden lights and golden mists, as if drawn in, surged wildly into that figure's body.

When the Holy Hall Master and the Vice Hall Master finally saw the figure's appearance, their faces darkened.

"Su Yu!!!"

The Vice Hall Master let out a low growl, and boundless killing intent surged from his body.

Su Yu's appearance on the peak at this moment clearly explained many things.

The one who had previously fallen... was none other than the Grand Elder!

Even if the Holy Hall now harbors ulterior motives and dares to challenge the entire Central Immortal Realm, the fall of a Saint Realm expert...

... is also a blow to the Holy Hall.

Boom—!!!

Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from the bodies of the Holy Hall Master and the Vice Hall Master.

Just as they were about to move, the Azure Dragon Saint's voice exploded in their ears.

"You two, I didn't stop you before, and now you want to move again—aren't you being too disrespectful?!"

The Azure Dragon Saint instantly appeared before them, and a terrifying power surged from his body.

The surrounding void trembled instantly.

As if encountering some dreadful creature, they all fled far away.

In the eyes of the Holy Hall Master and the Vice Hall Master, a deep sense of apprehension welled up.

The Vice Hall Master gritted his teeth, stared fixedly at the Azure Dragon Saint, wanting to strike, but was stopped by the Holy Hall Master.

"Don't act rashly; the overall situation is paramount!"

The Vice Hall Master instantly came to his senses, but a gloomy feeling still lingered in his heart.

His own elder had been killed, yet he couldn't retaliate, which left the Vice Hall Master feeling vexed.

But thinking of his forefather's plan, even if he didn't want to, he could only calm down.

The Holy Hall Master calmly sent a voice transmission: "Our role is merely to delay the Azure Dragon Saint; even if the Grand Elder kills Su Yu, when the Azure Dragon Saint flies into a rage, the Grand Elder will be nothing but a sacrificed pawn."

"He just died a bit early—perfect timing, since Su Yu needs plenty of time to cultivate, which suits our plans exactly!"

Upon hearing the Holy Hall Master's words, the Vice Hall Master's brow twitched slightly.

A faint smile actually appeared on his face.

"Well then, when the forefather's plan succeeds, these people will all die!"

"The entire Central Immortal Realm will belong to our Holy Hall!"

A fervent aura rose on the Vice Hall Master's face.

He then stepped back, and actually had no intention of causing trouble for Su Yu.

The Azure Dragon Saint gazed at the two of them, his brow slightly furrowed.

"How strange—under these circumstances, they aren't the least bit impulsive."

The Azure Dragon Saint muttered, and the unease in his heart grew stronger.

The Holy Hall Master glanced lightly at the Azure Dragon Saint and said, "Our Holy Hall's Grand Elder is simply no match; naturally we won't seek trouble."

"But we will remember this; one day, the Grand Elder's death will not be in vain!"

Saying this, he still wore an extremely angry expression.

Such an unadorned performance made the Azure Dragon Saint's expression strange.

"Damn, are they treating me like an idiot?"

"How pretentious!"

"Holy Hall... what exactly is your plan?"

The Azure Dragon Saint's mind raced, yet no matter how he thought, he couldn't figure out what the Holy Hall intended to do.

Although he felt uneasy, this unease had no discernible source.

"How strange..."

The Azure Dragon Saint glanced suspiciously at the two again, still unable to discern their intentions, and he dared not act rashly, given that Su Yu was currently within the Holy Mountain.

He could not possibly leave.

The Azure Dragon Saint fixed his gaze on the two, sitting cross-legged in the void; if either made any rash move, he could strike instantly.

At the same time, his soul power instantly spread out, enveloping the entire Holy Hall's domain.

As long as the hidden forefather of the Holy Hall made any move, he would detect it immediately.

"This way... it should be foolproof, right?"

The Azure Dragon Saint murmured softly, his gaze slowly falling upon the mountain peak, upon Su Yu's figure.

At this moment, on the peak, Su Yu sat cross-legged atop the Holy Mountain's summit.

The Human Emperor Technique ran wildly, the energy of heaven and earth, as if finding an outlet, surged in frenziedly.

And on Su Yu's body, a heavy chain gradually appeared!

The third chain!

Boom—!!!

Within Su Yu's body came a series of booming sounds.

The fleshly body throbbed, and terrifying power erupted instantly.

Behind him, a crimson phantom flashed, a blade slashing out, fiercely striking the shackles on Su Yu's body.

Crack!

A clear, crisp sound rang out.

The third chain shattered again.

Inside, Su Yu's cultivation and bodily strength surged instantly.

His aura leapt past the Second Heaven, reaching the Third Heaven!
