Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: The Change of Fate

The Clear Stream Sword Saint stepped back half a step, feeling a tightness in his chest as his blood surged upwards, and a mouthful of fresh blood almost spurted out.

Noticing the anomaly of the Clear Stream Sword Saint beside him, the Divine Dao Sword Saint immediately asked, "Clear Stream Sword Saint, what’s wrong with you...?"

"It’s nothing, indeed, I did not expect that this Xia Citizen could actually withstand my strike; it was my oversight."

The Divine Dao Sword Saint felt somewhat uneasy, although he had been the first to make a move, he clearly understood that his action was merely meant to draw Su Chengyu’s attention for the Clear Stream Sword Saint.

Their true deadly move was undoubtedly that sword strike, natural almost to the point of inevitability.

The Divine Dao Sword Saint had witnessed the Clear Stream Sword Saint’s strike before and even with prior knowledge, he did not believe he could fully withstand that strike himself.

Yet, the young man before him had done so, causing the Divine Dao Sword Saint to feel bewildered, no longer sure whether it was because of Su Chengyu’s own skills, or because of the residual strength left by Ye Qingci.

"Don’t think too much, regardless of how this guy managed to do it, no matter how much of his own skill he used, ultimately he’s at the end of his tether. You must understand one thing, with you and me joining forces, even if Ye Qingci personally took action, she wouldn’t be our match. Even if this guy could withstand the strike, the price he paid must be severe."

After all, the Clear Stream Sword Saint was an established old Sword Saint from Dongying; even though his unique move was blocked, his mindset remained quite good.

Hearing this, the Divine Dao Sword Saint also secretly steeled himself and turned his head to glance at Ye Qingci again, saying, "It looks like there are still two bolts of lightning over there."

The two heavenly lightning bolts and one Heart Demon Tribulation would not take too long to come. The key to when Ye Qingci would be able to successfully transcend the tribulation largely hinged on how long the Heart Demon Tribulation could be withstood.

If it was slow, the Divine Dao Sword Saint naturally was confident that he and the Clear Stream Sword Saint could defeat Su Chengyu, but if it was exceedingly fast...

"I understand, but it’s not just the two of us here."

Hearing this, the Divine Dao Sword Saint glanced subconsciously at the battle between Shinazugawa and Jiugui.

Both ninjas were too familiar with each other’s methods, and since most of their moves originated from the same source, finding a way to break through was extremely difficult.

Moreover, the Divine Dao Sword Saint noticed that both seemed to be holding back, not intending to exhaust all their trump cards against the other.

Was it for the sake of competing for that transcension opportunity?

But in that case, their battle should not yield a victor anytime soon.

"I’m not referring to them."

The Clear Stream Sword Saint spoke softly, then turned his gaze to Su Chengyu, "Kid, your name is Su Chengyu, right? Since you’ve taken charge of this Great Formation, you must have realized that this area has been surrounded a long time ago, right? Don’t tell me you can’t withstand it; even if you really could, are you so confident that Ye Qingci can handle everyone here?"

"So what?"

Su Chengyu asked knowingly.

"Leave now, and I can ensure your return to Xia Country."

"Clear Stream Sword..."

Just as the Divine Dao Sword Saint was about to speak, the Clear Stream Sword Saint stopped him from continuing.

His Majesty the Emperor had indeed ordered that no Xia Citizen leaving Mount Fuji this time should be allowed to leave.

But to the Clear Stream Sword Saint, even if the young man before him was bizarre, he was still no match compared to Ye Qingci Longxuan.

And when he previously said there were others, he had noticed that Long Xuan had also come to this place!

A Ye Qingci alone may not be worth fearing, but if she were to join forces with Long Xuan, the Clear Stream Sword Saint could not be sure how things would develop.

Letting go of Su Chengyu in order to kill Ye Qingci first and then Dragon Slayer Long Xuan—no matter how you looked at it, this deal was worth it.

After all, they couldn’t possibly let this kid, who wasn’t a Nascent Soul, leave with the opportunity to ascend to immortality right under their noses, could they?

"A tempting proposal, but since I’ve promised the Saint Envoy to be a protector, I naturally have no reason to leave."

Su Chengyu spoke softly, and then his gaze moved away from the two, sweeping over the surroundings.

He was aware that at this moment, there were at least two more forces hiding in the dark.

Others were one thing, but there was one person whose intentions Su Chengyu needed to confirm beforehand.

"Long Xuan! Are you going to make a move against me just like they are?"

Having been directly addressed by Su Chengyu, Long Xuan no longer hid and stepped out into the open.

However, his gaze did not fall on Su Chengyu, but stood to the side, watching Ye Qingci go through her Tribulation in silence.

This strange attitude caused Su Chengyu’s brow to furrow, and he pressed: "Long Xuan! What exactly do you mean?"

Initially disinclined to pay attention to Su Chengyu, Long Xuan then slightly turned his head and glanced at Su Chengyu, coldly saying, "I will kill you, but not now. You’re her protector, so I have no reason to act against you."

And seeing Long Xuan like this, Su Chengyu’s greatest concern finally dissipated.

He was not afraid of the two Dongying Sword Saints before him, nor the weird Demon Clan member lurking in the shadows, looking for an opportune moment to strike.

What Su Chengyu truly worried about was Long Xuan, who had also come to this place.

Naturally, he remembered Ye Qingci’s admonition; Long Xuan was different from the others here.

With one foot already in the Earth Immortal Realm, Long Xuan’s strength was far beyond what those without prospect of ascension to immortality could comprehend.

If he were to make a move, Su Chengyu did not believe he could hold on much longer.

Long Xuan wanted to kill Su Chengyu and even dared to kill Ye Qingci, but he absolutely would not act during Ye Qingci’s Tribulation.

To attack Su Chengyu at this time, and thus directly interfere with Ye Qingci’s Tribulation, was a despicable act that Long Xuan would not stoop to, let alone disdain.

Moreover, Long Xuan understood that if he really joined forces with these Dongying people at this moment, it would almost amount to treason.

Of course, Long Xuan would not assist in protecting Ye Qingci. In his view, these Dongying people making a move against Ye Qingci was part of her tribulation. What did that have to do with him, Long Xuan?

If not for the fact that Ye Qingci’s Heavenly Tribulation had piqued Long Xuan’s interest, he would not have lingered here for a moment longer.

When Long Xuan first met Ye Qingci, he had probed her strength and even seen her fate.

At that time, to Long Xuan, Ye Qingci indeed had exceptional talent, but she was still far from being someone he would take seriously.

The person he was looking for was definitely not her.

Yet now, Ye Qingci’s fate seemed to have changed.

As the Heavenly Tribulation continued to descend, Long Xuan could feel Ye Qingci’s fate continuously and inexorably changing!

Normally, a person’s fate is not supposed to change throughout their life, just like Long Xuan’s. He was born destined to step into the Earth Immortal Realm, and this fate accompanied him from his youth without ever changing.

Even from Long Xuan’s perspective, it was the first time he had seen someone’s fate change as their Realm improved—a profound and mysterious transformation that made Long Xuan take even more notice of Ye Qingci.

Could it really be her?

Long Xuan blinked in confusion, deciding to sit to the side and quietly observe all the changes.
