Chapter 123: The Foreshadowing of the Mirror Sect

"It seems you still haven't fully grasped the situation. Has no one told you that I once defeated a Five-Ring Soul King back when I was at the Three-Ring stage?"

Looking at the somewhat nervous Second Elder Su Yuanming opposite him, Su Xinyuan and Old Chen, who were watching the battle from the side, were not the least bit worried.

"Old Chen, you seem even more confident than I am?" Su Xinyuan said, looking at Old Chen.

"Master, I am very clear about the Young Master's strength. After all, the Young Master once said that he had sparred with a top-tier Six-Ring Soul Emperor in the Sun Moon Empire, and in that match, he won completely..."

Old Chen, hidden in the darkness, recalled every word and action of Su Yu in detail.

"Second Elder, then I must offend you today. As for future matters, this Family Head will handle them well."

An invisible pressure had already condensed to an extremely heavy degree in the open space of the council hall; at the same time, the Second Elder quickly released the Soul Guidance Device on his body.

As two yellow, two purple, and two black—six soul rings—began to flicker, a powerful aura burst forth from his body almost instantly. At this moment, his aura finally reached its peak; only now was he a true Soul Emperor.

"I have to say, the older generation all chose to hide in the darkness for the sake of the family's safety, in order to guard the family's security, but Su Yuanming secretly betrayed the family for his own selfish interests. In this battle, even if Su Yuanming wins, he won't survive, because..."

Su Xinyuan watched Su Yu, who had already clashed with the Second Elder, his aura constantly climbing.

If the Second Elder won, then the one who would die would be the Second Elder...

If the Second Elder lost, then this purge would be continued by Su Yu. Regardless of win or loss, only strength is the most powerful ruler!

A seventh-level Soul Guidance great blade, under the injection of the Second Elder's powerful soul power, erupted with bone-chilling cold air. Cold air constantly emerged from the blade body; clearly, there was definitely a secret within this blade.

Looking at the increasingly close Soul Guidance great blade, relevant information surfaced in Su Yu's mind: a seventh-level Soul Guidance Device, the Ice Soul Lianyun Blade, which primarily uses an ice-attribute soul bone, with a value of around 800,000 Gold Soul Coins.

With a single swing of the blade, under the reinforcement of the Second Elder's Six-Ring Soul Emperor strength, the astonishing momentum actually caused the entire council hall to tremble.

Su Yu still did not use a Soul Guidance Device, because there was no need to now.

Taking a step forward, his right fist flashed with golden flames. That's right, it was golden flames—that was Wang Dong's Light Flame!

Back then, before leaving, Su Yu had copied all of Wang Dong's soul skills. Now, unleashing the Light Flame was completely effortless. But the moment the Light Flame bloomed on Su Yu, those with weaker soul power could not withstand the will of that Light Flame!

Two yellow, one purple, and one black—four soul rings—flickered alternately on Su Yu's body, a scene that left the Second Elder unable to judge which soul skill Su Yu was unleashing.

On Su Yu's right hand, not only were golden Light Flames burning, but his palm had also become as crystal clear as white jade.

Tang Sect Mysterious Jade Hand; although it could no longer provide a massive boost, at his current realm, it was enough.

Eyes met; in Su Yu's pupils, golden flames seemed to be burning. For a time, powerful soul power and Spirit Power constantly erupted in the council hall.

Boom!

A punch landed, and that Ice Soul Lianyun Blade was stained by the Light Flame; the Second Elder was also knocked back by the punch.

Every step he retreated caused the council hall to vibrate slightly, which showed the strength of Su Yu's punch.

An illusory light shadow emerged, and Su Yu's eyes instantly turned gray. In his eyes, the Second Elder's movements had long been analyzed clearly. On the spiritual level, Su Yu wouldn't dare say he was stronger than Huo Gua, but even for Huo Gua, without relying on the origin power of the Ice Empress and Tian Meng, he wouldn't be able to shake him in the slightest!

The Light Flame erupted again. Bathed in the golden flames, Su Yu walked slowly toward the Second Elder. After the first probe, he now fully understood the Second Elder's strength.

Compared to Ji Juechen, he was still far off; the Second Elder didn't know how much he lagged behind.

A burst of black mist slowly emerged. The Second Elder seized the gap created by the black mist, and the fourth soul ring behind him lit up. Large swaths of ice shards swept toward the black mist like a rainstorm.

In an instant, the black mist was easily pierced through by the ice shards.

However, the scene everyone imagined of Su Yu being heavily injured did not appear. When the black mist dissipated, two Su Yus stood quietly opposite the Second Elder.

The ice shards dissipated, but the wind brought up by the ice shards still caused Su Yu's clothes to flutter loudly.

A piercing cold light shone, and a mirror instantly shattered before everyone's eyes, scattering into countless fragments suspended in the air.

The Second Elder's body shook, his eyes filled with fear. He knew that the kid in front of him definitely did not have a shattered martial soul, because at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, he had witnessed with his own eyes Su Yu, with the strength of a Soul Elder, go head-to-head against the level 54 Shen Ce in a duel against the opposing academy.

However, Su Yu did not give the Second Elder any chance at all. What Su Yu needed now was to suppress everyone with swift and decisive means; only in this way could it have the greatest effect.

As for whether anyone from the older generation would come out, Su Yu had no need to worry at all, because he was the Family Head, and a Family Head with the power of life and death!

A sharp Sword Intent swept across the entire venue, and the powerful pressure compressed once more, forcing the Second Elder to retreat step by step, having to sustain a highly draining Soul Guidance Protective Shield.

Sword Intent!

This was Sword Intent. Although he had crossed hands with Ji Juechen many times, Su Yu knew his path could not completely replicate others. Ji Juechen's sword was "I am the only one," so his sword would be "Twilight of the Gods"!

Yi Lao, who had been asleep for a long time, was also awakened by a powerful intent. Yi Lao looked at the powerful Sword Intent bloomed by Su Yu and nodded with satisfaction, "Your path is still very long. Perhaps, in the future, you really can become a god of your world."

Countless fragments raged like a storm tornado. No matter how hard the Second Elder resisted, he could not reverse the situation of being completely crushed.

On the Second Elder's body, six soul rings lit up one after another, and six soul skills subsequently erupted, like a severe ice storm from the Extreme North, completely destroying the council hall.

The moment the ice and snow storm descended, Old Chen, Su Xinyuan, and the many guards present had already taken everyone away from the council hall.

Having lost the control of Old Chen and Su Xinyuan, the fluctuations of the two people's clash instantly exploded like a bomb. An earth-shattering explosion sounded from within the Su Family, and the entire council hall instantly became a pile of ruins.

Electrolux's figure appeared in Su Yu's Spirit Sea, his aged face full of smiles, "Perhaps this kid is right. In the future, maybe I really can be resurrected."

The dust dissipated, and Su Yu's figure had already disappeared from where he stood. In the ruins, only the Second Elder's blood-stained, broken body stood within.

When the Second Elder's Six-Ring Soul Emperor body crashed to the ground, everyone finally realized that this son of Su Xinyuan had already become the absolute ruler of the family!

"Second Elder Su Yuanming, refusing to accept the ruling, has now had his soul power crippled. If there are any who do not submit, all may come to fight!"

A figure slowly emerged above the ruins, holding a sword in one hand, slowly turning his body back. His eyes swept across everyone like lightning. This simple action, however, felt like a thousand-pound boulder pressing on the hearts of the Su Family members.

Even the older generation's Su Yuanming was no match for this Family Head's son. Unless they could bring out the hidden power within the Su Family, but the Su Family's hidden power was not something they could mobilize...

Whether it was Su Xinyuan's generation or Su Yu's generation, the Su Family's outcome had long been destined!

"Su Hai, pays respects to the Family Head!"

"Pays respects to the Family Head..."

"............"

I have to say, everyone present is a talent, a person who knows the times.

Although two people were crippled, for the Su Family, this could be completely ignored. After all, the family's greatest taboo is internal strife.

When everyone gave up resistance and bowed to Su Yu in unison, Su Xinyuan and Old Chen had already quietly left the place.

"Since you all recognize me as the Family Head, then I will give you a task now. The two among you who complete it best will be the next candidates for Great Elder and Second Elder."

Having just dealt with two elders, although Su Xinyuan could also arrange candidates, since Su Xinyuan had handed everything over to him, he had to make good use of it.

"Then may I ask the Family Head, what is the task?"

Once Su Yu's words were out, the gazes of everyone present could not help but grow fervent; the weight of the Great Elder and Second Elder positions within the Su Family could be described as being below only one person while above ten thousand, and with such a position, who among the Su Family would not be envious?

"In the Three Great Empires recently, I presume you all know of a newly established sect called the Wanjing Sect. This sect was founded by me, so what you must do is provide full assistance to the development of the Wanjing Sect within the Star Luo Empire, Dou Ling Empire, and Heavenly Soul Empire. Whoever performs the best will be given the positions of Great Elder and Second Elder to sit in, and at the same time, they can receive five million Gold Soul Coins; others with sufficiently outstanding contributions can also receive five million Gold Soul Coins as an additional reward."

Heavy rewards surely bring out brave men; who didn't know that back then, Su Yu had mobilized all the liquid capital of the Star Luo Empire through the hands of Su Xinyuan in the Black Market, gambling a massive fifty million Gold Soul Coins, which ultimately shook the Black Market and brought in a profit of two hundred and fifty million Gold Soul Coins.

Now, for the sake of a sect, Su Yu was willing to spend such a fortune, which showed that this sect was definitely something Su Yu valued highly.

…………

After handling the matters, when Su Yu returned home, what he saw before his eyes were his mom and dad showing off their affection and feeding him dog food.

"The business in the Star Luo Empire is considered finished; you must still want to say that it's time for me to find a daughter-in-law for you, right?"

Looking at Su Xinyuan and Mu Hanyan, Su Yu spoke very self-consciously.

Mu Hanyan nodded and smiled, "It's good that Yu'er is sensible; there's no need for Mom to worry anymore. I heard from your father that you seem to already have a girl you like; why don't you bring her home for Mom to take a look at?"

Looking at Su Xinyuan's toothy grin, Su Yu finally understood the bellyful of bad water Su Xinyuan possessed...

Regarding Mu Hanyan, Su Yu had absolutely no reservations; after all, she was his biological mother—er, to be precise, she should be the biological mother of the original owner of this body, though for Su Yu, there was already no difference.

After roughly finishing the story of his and Wang Dong's experiences, Mu Hanyan asked in surprise, "How did you know that person was a girl?"

"Mom, the Radiant Goddess Butterfly only appears on female Soul Masters..."

…………

His mother, Mu Hanyan, was not from the Star Luo Empire, but was a pure Sun Moon Empire native. Back then, Su Xinyuan had also studied at Shrek Academy, but after studying in the outer courtyard for a period of time, he was recalled by his family and sent to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy to study.

And it was precisely during this time of studying at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy that he backhandedly swindled away Mu Hanyan, who was still an innocent and simple young girl...

However, Su Xinyuan had never treated Mu Hanyan poorly. In the Su Family's development over so many years, they had experienced countless blood and chaos, yet Mu Hanyan still seemed as if she had never grown up.

Perhaps Su Xinyuan's greatest tenderness was giving Mu Hanyan a peaceful and warm life, letting her not have to worry about anything, forever living simply and happily like a child who never grew up.

Just as Su Xinyuan often said: the luckiest thing in this old man's life was tricking your mother into his hands.

Looking at it now, Su Xinyuan never lost out; the one who lost out was actually Mu Hanyan...

The two elders' romantic history was indeed moving. For this reason, when Su-mou-ren brought up Su Xinyuan's old flirtatious affairs, he was often chased by Mu Hanyan from the living room to the upstairs, and then kicked down the stairs from upstairs; this cycle repeated over and over, and for this, when Su-mou-ren was watching the show, his mood was incomparably comfortable.

Perhaps Su Xinyuan's only dark history was the marriage alliance with another family back when he was still a young master.

However, at the very least, Su Xinyuan had never done anything to wrong Mu Hanyan from beginning to end; he truly fulfilled the promise he made when he married Mu Hanyan back then.

After leaving the family, it would be a lie to say Su Yu's heart wasn't touched at all.

Next stop, Heaven Dou City.

According to his information, Tang Ya had officially joined the Tang Sect and become the Sect Master of the Tang Sect. The first thing Tang Ya did after becoming Sect Master was to directly exterminate the Iron-Blooded Sect that had occupied the Tang Sect's foundation back then.

That day, who could have imagined that a sect with one Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings would be destroyed by the Tang Sect in an instant.

Although behind this, there was help from the Wanjing Sect and the Su Family, and even the operation of this matter was executed only after receiving Su Yu's decision.

As a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, the leader of the Iron-Blooded Sect was completely unable to withstand a single blow in the hands of the five Soul Emperors stationed at the Tang Sect and the Wanjing Sect.

After wiping out the opponent's Soul Emperor and Soul Kings, what remained was Tang Ya's personal slaughter show...

According to the news sent by Elder Chen, after exterminating the Iron-Blooded Sect, Tang Ya never left the Tang Sect again, always cultivating with everyone in the Tang Sect, and no abnormalities were found on her body.
