Chapter 873: Chapter 873: A Husband Guards the Pass

"Fine, I’ll listen to you." Lin An followed Su Chengyu’s side and chose not to fly over. Instead, they walked towards the Teleportation Circle in Mist City.

Dawn was breaking, and the darkness of night was gradually fading. There were quite a few trialists in Mist City. Some had been teleported from other districts, while others were randomly teleported to the South District from the start. After surviving by a hair’s breadth, they had entered Mist City. Lacking the courage to venture further, they cultivated here while waiting for the right opportunity to attempt the ascent of the Ascending Heaven Tower.

Finally, Su Chengyu and Lin An arrived at the Teleportation Circle in the city center. However, next to the circle, a person was sitting cross-legged.

"Lin An, there’s someone sitting beside the Teleportation Circle. Right now, we don’t know if they’ll be a threat to us. If things really start to escalate, I’ll hold him off while you activate the circle and leave first. Go to Gumu City and wait for me," said Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu handed Lin An a hundred Heavenly Pills, which were the currency of the Western District’s Teleportation Circle in the Kunwu Realm.

"Okay! Su Chengyu, be careful. I will be waiting for you in Gumu City. You must not let anything happen to you," Lin An responded.

Lin An was the fussy kind and was aware of his own limitations. Staying would only be a hindrance. So, he immediately accepted the Heavenly Pills.

Su Chengyu cracked a grin and said, "Don’t worry, my life is tough. I have many things left to do; I won’t die so easily."

After discussing their plan, they headed straight for the Teleportation Circle.

As expected, the seated person opened their eyes, gazing intently at Su Chengyu and Lin An.

This individual had a light beard on his lower jaw. By his looks, he appeared to be around thirty, with a sharp gaze that sent shivers down one’s spine.

"The two of you won’t make it out of here," the man said.

"So the Sky Feather Clan really has a contingency plan here," Su Chengyu realized.

Instinctively, Su Chengyu took a step forward, shielding Lin An behind him. Lin An asked, "We are both Human Trialists. How can you help outsiders and harm your own people?"

"Everyone in the world seeks their own benefit. Whether they are of the Human Clan or from another race, they are all just mayflies in the universe, with no difference! The Sky Feather Clan has offered a generous reward, and many are eager to capture you in exchange for it," the man replied.

This statement made Su Chengyu even more alert to the dangers within Mist City.

"Whatever the Sky Feather Clan is offering you, I can offer as well," Su Chengyu countered.

Lin An realized how difficult it would be to deal with this person and worried that Su Chengyu couldn’t withstand him and might die at his hands.

"You can’t afford what the Sky Feather Clan offers me. I just want your head, and don’t worry, I strike quickly; you won’t feel any pain," the man said coldly, casting a glance at Su Chengyu and continued, "As for you, you’re not my target. A mere Cultivator in the Tongxuan Realm doesn’t even have the right to die by my hand. Just scram."

"If you’re this arrogant, does your mother know?" Su Chengyu taunted with a smirk.

"Since you’re courting death, I’ll oblige you!" the man said.

The man practiced the Martial Way, and his Realm was indeed not low—being in the eighth grade of the Martial Saint Realm, he launched a punch that roared towards its target.

Knowing he was no match, Su Chengyu would not try to act tough. With a wave of his hand, he sent out the Heaven-Mending Stone, which gathered the Five-Colored Divine Light. The Five-Colored Sword Qi extinguished the man’s Innate Divine Fist.

"Quick, go!" Su Chengyu urged Lin An.

Lin An hurriedly ran toward the Teleportation Circle, but at that moment, several people suddenly burst out from the side, all targeting Lin An.

"Su Chengyu..." Seeing so many people coming to kill, Lin An stopped in his tracks.

Su Chengyu had no choice but to summon the Heaven Heart Lamp again to protect Lin An, urging her to head for the Teleportation Circle.

"Leave this place to me."

Su Chengyu didn’t know if there were any particularly powerful individuals among these people, but for the moment, he could only try his best to buy time for Lin An.

With his feet set in the Bagua, chanting the Thunder Mantra, Su Chengyu executed the True Way of Controlling Thunder. Pointing his Longsword to the sky, a brilliant thunder descended.

"Everyone be careful, this is the Thunder technique of a Cultivator. It’s extremely powerful!"

The booming sound of thunder erupted as heavenly lightning struck the world. Su Chengyu unleashed his divine might. Fortunately, none of these people were particularly powerful, only Martial Saints and Martial Kings, and there were some who were Half-Step Martial Saints. With a single move of the True Technique of Controlling Thunder, Su Chengyu suppressed them in terms of momentum. As the lightning fell, the Martial Kings were so scared that they retreated immediately, fearing they would be too slow and get struck dead by the lightning.

The Martial Saints, however, could resist a little, as they had indeed transcended into holiness.

At this moment, Su Chengyu stood like a sentinel at a pass, indefatigable, while Lin An took the opportunity to rush toward the Teleportation Circle under the protection of the Heaven Heart Lamp.

The eighth-grade Martial Saint was no match for the Heaven-Mending Stone and was injured by its Five-Colored Divine Light, losing an arm.

"The True Way of Controlling Thunder... He’s actually a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, and he has such a formidable magical artifact that he can defeat me alone! How despicable!"

The man who had first attempted to stop Su Chengyu was now regretting it a bit. He had completely underestimated Su Chengyu earlier, but the person he had least regarded was now, with the help of a magical artifact, capable of severing his arm.

Although Cultivators have a very strong ability to heal wounds, regrowing a severed limb was impossible.

The eighth-grade Martial Saint, having lost an arm, saw his strength significantly reduced. It was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. He hurriedly fled. The cruel and disdainful words he had for Su Chengyu earlier backfired on him so quickly.

"Come on! Whoever wants the reward, just come at me!"

Su Chengyu lightly waved the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand, sweeping thunder across, once again pushing back the crowd. Those below the realm of Martial Saint were directly wounded, vomiting blood, their bodies singed by heavenly lightning, emitting the sizzling sound of roasting meat.

With his spirits high, Su Chengyu, a man with a sword, commanded the lightning, stubbornly protecting Lin An and driving back the covetous people of Mist City.

Lin An threw the Heavenly Pill into the Teleportation Circle, activating it.

"That woman in black is going to be teleported away, what should we do?"

"Didn’t you see Wen Lixian, the eighth-grade Martial Saint, get his arm severed by that man’s magical artifact and run away? A disciple of the Quanzhen Sect is not to be trifled with. If he throws out some God’s Charm, all of us could end up dead."

Although these people all wanted the bounty offered by the Sky Feather Clan, life was still more important. No one dared to charge forward anymore.

"Who are you? Why are you using the Thunder True Technique of the Quanzhen Sect?"

At that moment, a sword light pierced the sky from afar, it was Tang Jian, the Quanzhen Sect disciple who had been tracking Su Chengyu.

As the Teleportation Circle fully activated, Lin An shouted towards Su Chengyu, "Su Chengyu, hurry up and leave."

Instantly, with a flash of light, Lin An was teleported away. Su Chengyu looked up at the young Quanzhen Sect disciple, who was wearing a Taoist Robe, fashioned in the attire of a Taoist.

"Which eye of yours saw me using the Quanzhen Sect’s Thunder True Technique?" Su Chengyu asked.

"Some days ago in Mist City, I saw someone using the True Way of Controlling Thunder. Unfortunately, by the time I arrived, you had already left. I thought it was a fellow Sect brother. I have been tracking you these days. Just now, I saw with my own eyes, the Thunder technique you used was the True Way of Controlling Thunder; I certainly did not see wrong," Tang Jian said, his face cold with certainty. He knew Su Chengyu was not a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, yet he could perform Quanzhen Daoism. This was utterly intolerable and needed to be investigated thoroughly!
