Chapter 392: Su Yan’s Decision
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The shattered ice blades reflected everyone’s shocked expressions like mirrors, filled with confusion.
What was going on?
Bing Zhuo had lost?
No, it could no longer be described as a simple loss. It was a crus.h.i.+ng defeat!
“How is this possible?”
Watching Bing Zhuo disappear into the horizon like a meteor, everyone was dumbfounded and fell silent.
This was especially true for Bing Qiongcang, who could hardly believe his eyes!
As a direct descendant of the Ice Clan, Bing Qiongcang only claimed to be supporting the Thunder Breeze Sect on the surface. In reality, he had come to consolidate the forces of the Southern Land and make himself look good.
This was a “mission” given to him by the clan. As long as he could complete it, he would be able to enter the core cultivation ground of the clan in a justifiable manner and obtain a large amount of resources. From then on, he would be able to directly reach the Saint Stage.
To the Bing Qiongcang, the Southern Land was only an ant-like area. With the peak Legendary Stage Bing Zhuo holding down the fort and the support of his clan, it was extremely easy for him to consolidate the forces of the Southern Land.
The only thing worth noting was that the Xuanyi Mountain Sect seemed to have some relations.h.i.+p with the Pure Yang Sacred Land. According to the news, the Xuanyi Mountain Sect had risen above the Three Major Sects in just half a year.
Without a doubt, they had definitely obtained the help of the Pure Yang Sacred Land.
However, Bing Cang did not care. At most, he would not provoke them. In any case, the sect master of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect did not show any intention of ruling the Southern Land.
Moreover, the Ice Clan had always had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Pure Yang Sacred Land.
However, Bing Cang had never expected that Bing Zhuo would actually lose. Moreover, judging from the situation, it was questionable whether he was still alive!
“Who exactly are you?” Suppressing the shock in his heart, Bing Cang asked.
Since Qin Jue could instantly kill Bing Zhuoluo, it meant that his strength was definitely not only at the Legendary Stage. In fact, his cultivation had probably even reached the Saint Stage!
Even in the Ice Clan, Saint Stage experts had a high status and were respected. When did a Saint Stage expert appear in the Southern Land?
“You don’t have the right to know.”
Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders.
“Hmph, how arrogant!”
Bing Qiongcang was extremely furious in his heart when he heard this and said coldly, “You’re indeed very formidable, but it’s best if you don’t interfere!”
“If you leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, if you offend the Ice Clan, no one will be able to save you!”
Perhaps it was because of his status as a direct descendant of the Ice Clan and his habit of being high and mighty, Bing Qiongcang was not afraid at all. If one didn’t know better, they would probably think that he was on the winning side.
“What? Do you want to become a meteor like that guy just now?” Qin Jue raised his eyes and said meaningfully.
“…”
Seeing this, Bing Cang suddenly s.h.i.+vered and did not dare to say anything else.
If Qin Jue really attacked him at this time, with his late-phase Supreme Stage cultivation, he would almost certainly die.
So what if the Ice Clan avenged him later?
It was not like he could come back to life.
“Alright, let’s go.” Retracting his finger in disdain, Qin Jue turned around and said.
“Yeah.”
Su Yan nodded. From beginning to end, she did not even look at the higher-ups of the Thunder Breeze Sect.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, the First Elder of the Thunder Breeze Sect called out to the three of them.
“Su Yan, are you really leaving the Thunder Breeze Sect?”
Hearing this, Su Yan stopped and said surprisingly calmly, “That’s right.”
“Alright, your cultivation was nurtured by my Thunder Breeze Sect. If you want to leave the Thunder Breeze Sect, return your cultivation first.”
The First Elder seemed to have gone crazy, as if he had found something to use against Su Yan, his expression extremely sinister.
The other elders were stunned for a moment before joining in. “That’s right. The cultivation techniques and secret techniques you cultivate are all from our Thunder Breeze Sect. If you want to leave the sect, you have to return them!”
“You have to return them!”
“…”
“…”
In the eyes of these elders, it was simply impossible for Su Yan to return her cultivation. And as long as Su Yan couldn’t do it, they had a reason to continue pestering Su Yan.
Unfortunately, they had completely underestimated Su Yan’s determination.
“Alright, I’ll return them to you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yan raised her palm, clenched her fingers into a fist, and punched her Dantian.
Bang!
Accompanied by a light sound, intense spirit energy fluctuations spread out. With Su Yan at the center, it soared into the sky and fused with the surrounding environment.
At the same time, Su Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, and her cultivation plummeted. She fell through the Supreme Stage, Heaven Stage, Earth Stage, Profound Stage, and Yellow Stage until she completely became an ordinary person!
“You!”
All the elders were instantly stunned, their mouths agape in disbelief.
It wasn’t just the higher-ups of the Thunder Breeze Sect, even Qin Jue was somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect Su Yan to choose to cripple her cultivation!
Fortunately, Su Yan had the True G.o.d Stage inheritance. Even if her cultivation was crippled, she could still barely maintain it and her foundation would not be affected!
Before everyone could react, Su Yan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, removed her storage ring, and forcefully threw it to the First Elder. “The cultivation resources inside are enough to repay the Thunder Breeze Sect’s decades of nurturing. Is that enough, Lei Mo?”
Lei Mo was the First Elder’s name. Su Yan calling him by his name meant that he no longer treated the other party as an elder.
As for that storage ring, it contained many cultivation resources that Su Yan had collected when she followed Qin Jue to travel the Central Continent. Not to mention nurturing a Supreme Stage expert, they could even nurture ten Supreme Stage experts with all those resources.
Witnessing this scene, the originally crazy First Elder was immediately dumbfounded. He opened his mouth but was speechless.
In an instant, countless scenes flashed in front of his eyes. The First Elder lowered his head in confusion, as if he had lost his soul.
He started wondering if he was at fault.
At this moment, the First Elder and the many higher-ups of the Thunder Breeze Sect had yet to realize what they had missed.
Even though Su Yan had already crippled her cultivation and had become an ordinary person, in a way, she had become more compatible with the True G.o.d Stage inheritance. If Su Yan needed decades to advance to the Supreme Stage in the past, then she only needed a few years now, or even shorter!
“Senior, let’s go.”
Su Yan only wanted to leave this place quickly.
“Go? Where?”
Suddenly, a cold laugh sounded from the horizon. It was vast and mighty, piercing through gold and splitting stone!
Everyone was stunned. Bing Zhuo wasn’t dead yet?
Hu!
A shrill cold wind swept over, accompanied by snowflakes that filled the sky, enveloping the entire Thunder Breeze Sect. All the cultivators who were touched by the snow, besides Bing Qiongcang, Qin Jue, and the others, were frozen in place, unable to move!
Although these looked like small snowflakes, they seemed to weigh more than a thousand kilograms!
“This is… Elder Bing Quan’s Snow Wind Domain!”
Bing Qiongcang was overjoyed. “Elder Bing Quan, you’re here!”
Before he could finish his sentence, two old men suddenly appeared beside Bing Qiongcang. There were three snowflakes embroidered on their sky blue robes, and their statuses were clearly higher than Bing Qiongcang’s.
“Qiongcang, are you alright?” One of the old men asked.
“I’m fine.”
Seeing the two of them, Bing Qiongcang excitedly said incoherently, “Elder Bing Ya, you’re here too!”
“Yeah.”
The old man known as Bing Ya nodded and said, “We saw what happened just now.. Leave the rest to us.”
