Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 368 - 368 65 Founding of the Nation_1

368: Chapter 65 Founding of the Nation_1 368: Chapter 65 Founding of the Nation_1 Elder Xu fell silent for a moment, “Might there be a chance to spare him?”

He detested the Scholar deeply.

It was because of the Scholar that Zhu Yan came, leading to No-Phase Sword Sect’s dire situation.

However, the Scholar was special.

Whether it was due to innate talent or something else, all Cultivation Techniques would mutate in his hands.

Their power might not necessarily increase, but they became incredibly unpredictable.

He was a perverse genius.

With Elder Qiao as his master, nurturing him with great effort, a bright future awaited.

He realized that the Dragon Turtle was about to kill the Scholar!

This Dragon Turtle had already killed the Sect Leader, taken the Sect Leader’s wife, and now intended to forcibly slay the Scholar.

Qingyuan truly had no future left!

Su He glanced at him indifferently and ignored him, looking towards the east.

Elder Qiao Changlun, dressed in the garb of a master, descended with the Immortal Sword and looked at Elder Xu, “Elder Xu, I too am quite curious as to where that disciple who betrayed his teacher and ancestors currently is.”

Betray his teacher… and ancestors?

For a master to use these words to describe his own disciple was an extremely harsh judgment.

He looked at Elder Qiao Changlun’s empty sleeves and his eyes suddenly focused.

“Elder Qiao, your, your arms…”

Qiao Changlun, with a flicker of a smile at the corner of his mouth, said, “It was the doing of my dear disciple!”

Elder Xu suddenly looked up, disbelievingly gazing at Qiao Changlun.

Qiao Changlun nodded.

He had returned half a year ago and had been recuperating in Qingyuan, not leaving at all.

Had it not been for Xia Dali traveling far to Xuan Tian Gate, he wouldn’t have been able to break his seclusion to receive Su He.

He was supposed to be guarding the Palace of Longevity today, but then he saw pitch-black lightning strike down two thousand miles away from Qingyuan, the killing intent too profound for words.

Rushing over on his flying sword, he only sensed the overwhelming presence of the Dragon Turtle.

Following the aura all the way down, he found the corpses of the No-Phase Sword Sect’s disciples in the canyon.

The one who had slain everyone was using the Qingyuan Sword Art.

Without needing to think more, he rushed toward the No-Phase Sword Sect on his flying sword.

Even before he arrived, he saw the golden light, the dice, and the endless ghost creatures.

Finally catching up, he witnessed Su He obliterating Zhu Yan with his black thunder, then questioning Elder Xu.

Nearby, protected by an array and sitting on the ground was Si Ze, while in the ice coffin were also the corpses of Qingyuan disciples.

No need to think further – years of experience made him immediately understand what had happened.

But the one thing he couldn’t figure out was, why was Elder Xu also opposing the Dragon Turtle?

To be bewitched by Zhu Yan, one must first harbor such intentions, right?

Elder Xu himself must have harbored the intention to kill the Dragon Turtle, to be bewitched by Zhu Yan.

Half a year ago, Qiao Changlun had been led by the Scholar to face Zhu Yan and had his arms slashed off by Zhu Yan.

Had it not been for the Scholar’s urgent need to know which Elders had once been Sect Leaders, he would have likely died that day, with no chance for Su He to save him.

Over the past half-year, he had gone to great lengths to gather information on the Dragon Turtle, Zhu Yan, and other Divine God Beasts, not even overlooking the legends.

He also deeply understood the characteristics of how Zhu Yan bewitched people.

Elder Xu’s pupils shrank slightly, alternately focusing and relaxing, tensing and trembling violently.

The Scholar had maimed his own master’s arms?

This Scholar, who just three days earlier had been utterly respectful, increasingly refined and gentle, had done such a thing?

He could hardly believe it, gasping for air as he looked at Elder Qiao Changlun.

Qiao Changlun nodded, “Had it not been for my little bit of usefulness, I would have long been killed by his hand.

If not for the Dragon Turtle’s salvation, I would not have lived until today.”

He was wrong!

He was wrong!

Elder Xu’s breathing became rapid.

The Scholar had deceived him, and he stood there stunned.

If one thing could be a lie, then a hundred could be.

The matter of someone overpowering the Sect Leader and taking his wife and daughter…

As he was thinking, a sharp ringing of a sword sounded in the sky, and a white light struck the Peak of the No-Phase Sword Sect, turning into Su Huanian clad in snow-white garments upon landing.

She first looked toward Su He upon landing, taking in the surroundings to make sure he was unharmed.

Only after confirming did her Eyebrow slightly furrow, “Weren’t you only killing to achieve Transcendence and save people?

How did you end up fighting with Zhu Yan?”

In the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm, the Green Bird had translated the conversation between Su He and Green Thunder for Su Huanian, prompting her to leap up and fly over on her sword.

Her chest rising and falling, she calmed her disordered breath.

The journey from Long Moon Mansion to No-Phase Sword Sect would take Su He more than an hour using the Flying Boat, but Su Huanian had arrived in just a quarter of two hours using her flying sword, pushing herself to the limit.

“Zhu Yan was scheming behind the scenes, so I had to kill him,” Su He said with a smile, treating it as a very mundane matter.

“Call me next time,” Su Huanian whispered.

Divine God Beasts were beings that had lived for who knew how long, and even if their Tao Cultivation was inferior, a single moment of carelessness could lead to a fatal mistake.

A mistake in battle often meant certain death.

“Okay!” Su He responded.

Elder Xu, smiling bitterly, chuckled until tears began to flow.

Su Huanian was very close to the Dragon Turtle!

Close to such an extent, how could it be an act of force?

He had watched Su Huanian grow up.

She was a tough character prone to break rather than bend.

She might submit for her daughter’s sake, but she would never show such emotion.

He turned to Qiao Changlun, “What has happened during the time I was unconscious?”

Not long into the great battle of Qingyuan, he had been seriously injured by the Demonic Realm of Xuan Tian Gate and had fallen unconscious.

Upon awakening, he had been in seclusion to heal, and in the four months after coming out, he was told by the Scholar that Qingyuan had a traitor who had overpowered the Sect Leader.

Qiao Changlun thought for a moment, then with a wave of his sleeve, he sent a wave of Intention into Elder Xu’s mind.

This included everything that had happened after the battle in Qingyuan, such as Su Huanian’s Origin returning after splitting her consciousness, and the lengthy battle between Su Huanian and Feng Yi Ju at the Two-Realms Battlefield.

Elder Xu closed his eyes, and after a long moment, he opened them again.

Looking at Su He, he said gravely, “The Scholar has not always been in the sect.

He returns once every ten days or half a month, and upon his return, he only visits Zhu Yan.

The last time was three days ago.

At that time, by chance, Zhu Yan was not around, and after half a day of idle chat with me, he hurriedly left.

I do not know where he went.”
