Chapter 26: The Frenzied Blade, Su Zian
“Kill him! Don’t let him escape!”
“Hand over what you got from the Void Prohibited Abyss!”
“Move! The Su family is catching up!”
Shuhan watched the crowd in the distance, their eyes bloodshot with rage, and his eyelid twitched.
He had picked a bad time to arrive. The Southern Region was far from peaceful these days.
A year ago, the Void Prohibited Abyss opened, attracting a large number of cultivators from the Five Regions and Ten Kingdoms, all eager to claim a piece of the Void's treasures.
Unfortunately, the Su family and the monks of the Ten Thousand Transformations Temple had a conflict, which the Su family resolved with swift and brutal force, exterminating their enemies.
They even set a condition for entry into the Void: a monk's head from the Ten Thousand Transformations Temple.
This led to a wave of bloodshed in the Southern Region, and the distant Ten Thousand Transformations Temple suffered heavy losses as well.
The Ten Thousand Transformations Temple, of course, wouldn’t let this go unpunished. Though they weren’t a match for the Su family in open conflict, they could still stab in the dark.
So, when the year-long period for the Void Prohibited Abyss ended and everyone returned with their treasures, the Ten Thousand Transformations Temple spread rumors that someone had obtained an Emperor’s legacy within the Void.
This thrust the Southern Region into the eye of the storm, and with the Ten Thousand Transformations Temple stirring trouble everywhere, conflicts erupted across the region.
“Boy, hand over what you have!”
Before Shuhan could react, a large man wielding a long sword sneered and spoke.
“I—”
Shuhan was stunned, but before he could explain, the man’s sword swung down.
Boom!
A hundred-foot-long blade of light sliced through the sky, hurtling toward Shuhan’s head.
“You brute, such a lack of reason.”
Shuhan frowned, and a vast, righteous aura burst forth from him.
“Stop!”
As if his words were law, Shuhan’s low command caused an ancient rune to appear in the sky, halting the blade of light in its tracks.
“Peak Fourth Realm!”
The large man’s face turned pale with shock. He tried to turn and run, but found himself unable to move an inch.
Seeing this, his fellow disciples nearby roared in anger.
“Stop! Are you courting death?”
Repeated provocations made Shuhan’s expression turn cold. With a flick of his wrist, a black-inked spirit brush appeared in his hand.
Using the heavens and earth as his canvas and righteous aura as his ink, he drew a stroke, and several towering mountains instantly materialized in the sky.
“Suppress!”
Shuhan’s soft command caused the mountains to plummet with a crushing force.
Boom!
The ground trembled, cracks spreading in all directions. Those who hadn’t had time to act were instantly pinned beneath the mountains.
They struggled desperately, but the shining ‘suppress’ character on the mountains held them in place, immobile.
“Black-inked Spirit Brush!”
“You are the young master of the Holy Academy, the third disciple of the Scholar Immortal, and the inheritor of the Immortal Painter’s legacy, Chen Yili!”
The pinned men, seeing Shuhan’s display of power, were filled with horror.
They realized they had bitten off more than they could chew. The disciple of the Scholar Immortal Li Qingchen was far beyond their reach.
“Young Master, we were ignorant and foolish. Please, show mercy. We know we were wrong.”
One of them quickly admitted their mistake, relief evident on his face.
From what he knew, the young master among the Scholar Immortal’s three disciples was the most reasonable and innocent.
If they showed good attitude, they should be able to survive today.
“You all—”
Shuhan’s brow furrowed, about to say something.
But then, a terrifying blade of light, capable of cleaving through the heavens and earth, descended from afar.
Boom!
The mountains crumbled, and those pinned beneath them were instantly reduced to ashes.
“Young Master, some people don’t understand reason. They only understand the blade.”
Shuhan turned to see a young man riding a divine steed, a long sword in hand, slowly descending from the sky.
Behind him, several powerful figures followed, their auras formidable.
"Second son of the Su family, Su Zian, greets Little Master."
The young man smiled, his expression calm, but a wild and intense aura almost burst forth, bringing immense pressure.
"Wild Blade Su Zian."
Shuhan turned to look at the few who had left no trace, and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. "Your Highness lives up to your reputation."
"They were just a bunch of bandits taking advantage of the chaos. Killing them was nothing."
Su Zian looked at Shuhan with a half-smile, his tone light as he asked, "Is Little Master also here for the legendary Emperor's legacy?"
Shuhan was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hands. "Your Highness, you misunderstand. I am here on my teacher's orders, to find a place called Green Mountain Village."
Su Zian's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, suddenly lit up. "Green Mountain Village?"
"Oh? You know of it?"
Shuhan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked.
Su Zian sized up the young man before him.
He knew Green Mountain Village well; his unreliable father and most of the powerful figures in the Su family were there.
"Little Master, may I ask why you are going to Green Mountain Village?"
Su Zian inquired.
He knew the general location of Green Mountain Village, but he couldn't enter it.
Well, according to his father, it was because he would corrupt the little brother. Ha, what a joke.
"Frankly, my teacher recently took on a new disciple, and I am here to pass on some experience to my little junior brother."
As he spoke, Shuhan also voiced his confusion. "I just don't understand why my teacher chose such a remote little village."
"Ruxian has taken on a new disciple?" Su Zian was surprised.
Everyone knew that Ruxian possessed the Four Arts of Immortals and had taken on three disciples.
The eldest disciple inherited the Chess World · Immortal's Finger, creating a realm with a wave of his hand, where each move was unparalleled, making him a top-tier sage in the Confucian path.
The second disciple inherited the Killing Music · Ghostly Abyss, a scholar with the heaviest killing intent, whose music could cause corpses to litter the battlefield.
The third disciple inherited the Ink Rhythm · Immortal in the Painting, possessing the strongest literary sage body, capable of trapping even spirits within his painted world!
And the fourth and strongest of the Four Arts, the Immortal Seal · Fish Dragon Dance, had never found a successor.
Now, if Ruxian had taken on a fourth disciple, it must mean that the fourth art had finally found its heir!
More importantly, this heir was in Green Mountain Village!
"The only one in the Southern Domain who could summon Ruxian is my father."
"Green Mountain Village doesn't have many young people, and Erniu has already been taken as a disciple. So, that means..."
Su Zian's eyes shone brightly. "The heir is my little brother?"
Su Nan had forbidden him and his elder brother from entering Green Mountain Village, which had frustrated them for a long time.
To have a little brother and not be able to see him?
Now, finally knowing about his little brother, he was very excited.
He had long wanted to experience the role of an older brother, leading his little brother to conquer the five domains!
Thinking of this, his gaze towards Shuhan became warmer.
"Ha ha ha, Little Master, you've come to the right person."
Su Zian approached Shuhan and led a divine steed over.
"I'll give this beast to Little Master as a means of transportation. It will take you near Green Mountain Village."
Shuhan was startled and quickly waved his hands. "That's too much, this Cloud Stepper is too precious. I can't accept it without a reason, I—"
Before Shuhan could finish, Su Zian interrupted.
"This beast isn't a free gift. I need a small favor from Little Master."
With that, Su Zian produced a translucent jade pendant and placed it in Shuhan's hand.
"I have some connection with your little junior brother. Please give this to him."
"Tell him that when he leaves the mountain, I will bestow a great opportunity upon him!"
