Chapter 1655: Chapter 1656: The Everlasting Sword Intent
"Bingo, got it right."
Seeing that Su Chengyu had already guessed the answer, the Green Hillock Empress smilingly spoke, then, realizing that her words didn’t quite fit her current stature, she coughed twice and continued seriously.
"This is why the little fellow Bai Huang received the inheritance of the Qiuqiu Fox Clan, but it’s unrelated to the Heavenly Fox Orb. To put it plainly, this orb was just a fortuitous find of our Qiuqiu Fox Clan back in those days. Though countless years have passed making it completely different, even with generations of Demon Gods from the Qiuqiu Fox Clan covering it, they cannot change its essence in the slightest."
Su Chengyu swallowed, looking at the unconscious Bai Huang outside and sighed, "I thought to let him receive the full inheritance of the Qiuqiu Fox Clan, this thing was necessary."
"The thought was off, but the approach was correct. If I hadn’t communicated with those stubborn elders, the Qiuqiu Fox Clan’s inheritance would truly have been cut off here."
Su Chengyu breathed a long sigh of relief, although there were some unexpected turns, the outcome was ultimately good, which made him completely reassured.
The Green Hillock Empress raised her hand, and the milky Heavenly Fox Orb returned to Su Chengyu once more.
"Take it, Yu Er. How much you can comprehend from this, how far you can see, is up to you. Your Dao is a bit special, so I won’t say much more to you."
Su Chengyu took the orb, took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and finally asked.
"Can I enter the Void?"
"Enter if you should."
"Grandson understands."
The Green Hillock Empress nodded in satisfaction again, her figure began to blur, knowing she couldn’t maintain this form much longer, she reached out trying one last time to touch Su Chengyu’s face, but vanished into stardust the instant her fingers made contact.
As the azure light dissipated, Su Chengyu’s figure reappeared in front of everyone.
Su Chengyu turned his head, looking at everyone and asked, "Is everyone alright?"
"Not dying, but this Heaven-reaching Ghost-killing Formation is reaching its limit, if we don’t leave soon, this Night Parade of One Hundred Demons situation will only become more perilous."
"Then let’s go."
Su Chengyu decisively spoke, pointing his sword towards the entrance, leading everyone to break through together.
With the backdoor left during entry, Su Chengyu easily led everyone to find the exit, and with Bai Qiu present, Su Chengyu didn’t have to expend his own vital force, easily breaking open a gap, leading everyone out of the formation.
Breathing in the fresh air outside, Ao Tian finally returned to his senses as if coming back to life, shuddering as his spirit lifted instantly, while cursing and speaking.
"Finally out of that damn place, if I stayed in there any longer, I felt like I would turn into a wandering soul."
Su Chengyu rolled his eyes, naturally not taking Ao Tian’s exaggerated words to heart, he merely glanced at the ravaging formation with some reflection, knowing that once everything settles here, there would be no more inheritance left behind by the Qiuqiu Fox Clan in this world.
All of the Qiuqiu Fox Clan, would have to start over from Bai Huang.
"Master, Elder Wan Qiu is still outside."
"I know."
Su Chengyu spoke, then recalled the matter of Wan Qiu entrusting him with the Kiss Neck Sword, ultimately not voicing how much of Wan Qiu Daoist’s hopes resided in the Kiss Neck Sword.
He understood well that Wan Qiu giving him the sword, unlike Cang Qing True Master’s resolute death seeking with the Azure Sky Cave Master in the past, was not of the same mindset.
But Wan Qiu entrusting his life’s most important Sword Dao, surely he had reconciled with the thought of perishing within the Luo Clan.
At the exit, Bai Qiu easily swept aside the unbarred path blocked by rubble, the incoming sword lights were directly blocked by the autonomously flying Dragon Slayer Sword, allowing everyone to slowly step outside the cave.
What greeted them were countless luminous fractured sword shadows, pervasive Sword Qi like headless flies bouncing chaotically throughout the cave, and in the center of this ownerless Sword Qi, Wan Qiu, already half lying on the ground, was unscathed nowhere on his body.
"Elder Wan Qiu..."
Yu Yanshu, seeing this scene, stood frozen, evidently unprepared for what lay outside.
Su Chengyu said nothing, simply holding on as they walked to Wan Qiu Daoist’s side, seeing the still emanating Sword Qi from Wan Qiu Daoist posthumously, he took a deep breath and softly spoke.
"It’s been one incense stick’s time since he passed away, but judging by this dispersing Sword Qi, it’ll linger for at least half a day."
The stored Sword Qi was apparently there to guard against further Luo Clan assistance, even in death Wan Qiu Daoist was securing a safe path for Su Chengyu and others.
Yu Yanshu said nothing, gripping the Kiss Neck Sword tighter, realizing the profound weight of the Sword Dao Sword Intent remaining on the sword at this moment.
"Su Chengyu, I didn’t see the Martial God’s body around, he most likely fled."
After surveying the surroundings, Bai Qiu gave this conclusion, to which Su Chengyu nodded in acknowledgment.
When leaving this place, Su Chengyu had already sensed Wan Qiu Daoist’s decline, yet the situation within the realm left him uneasy, causing him to follow Wan Qiu True Master’s wishes, letting him remain alone on site.
Seeing this conclusion made it hard for Su Chengyu not to feel some guilt, if he had helped Wan Qiu Daoist deal with the Martial God at that moment...
"Then you wouldn’t have had the strength to save them."
The Heaven-Mending Stone unabashedly spoke, interrupting Su Chengyu’s daydreams.
"Is that so? Seems like I’m just a bit too weak."
Su Chengyu replied with a bitter smile.
In hindsight he could only ponder ifs, but he was certain Wan Qiu True Master had probably foreseen the outcome long ago.
"It’s not your fault, the Luo Clan was prepared to perish together here, coupled with the Demon Clan’s interference, you’ve already done very well."
The words from the Heaven-Mending Stone were comforting, but also attempted a neutral analysis of the cause and effect for Su Chengyu.
"That Hollow Vacuum peak Luo Clan cultivator, having chosen to flee at the last moment of life and death, most likely came to a split-second decision during the duel with that swordsman. The battle’s outcome between them was merely decided by a fleeting thought at the scene."
Bai Qiu, observing the traces left by the Luo Clan’s flight outside, also provided his conclusion, which corroborated what Wan Qiu Daoist had said when telling Su Chengyu to leave.
Listening to these words didn’t entirely lift the burden from Su Chengyu’s mind but did bring some relief. He simply turned his thoughts to the Quanzhen Daoist in the Capital City, an old acquaintance of his master.
"This time, what I owe Quanzhen, a Supreme Daoist Scripture alone probably won’t suffice."
