Chapter 306: Splashing Wealth and Nobility, Four Imperial Divine Crystals, and the Lazy Stretch of the Great Sage's Divine Monkey (Part 1)
"Soul Binding!"
A deep voice emerged from Li Che's mouth, hidden behind a bull demon mask, like the gurgling sound of the Yellow Springs water churning in the Nine Underworlds.
In the instant of the explosion, it seemed as if white bones were surging and swirling.
The voice was deep and mysterious, as if the gates of hell were being opened and closed with a single movement of the lips.
Because of his admiration for Su Leibao, the blade master, at the last moment, he detonated two divine seeds, ignited the sword intent, and unleashed the thunderous blade technique...
Li Che was very satisfied.
Therefore, Li Che was willing to grant him the qualification to be a Soul Binding brother on the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
Without wasting much time, at the moment of Su Leibao's death, Li Che initiated the Soul Binding.
Suddenly, Li Che's heart stirred slightly.
In the instant of Soul Binding, the Star-Plucking Eye opened up, and his eyes became mysterious, entering a state between the netherworld and reality.
Under his observation...
He vaguely saw black air currents floating above Su Leibao's corpse, like writhing black snakes.
Then, in the desolate and dilapidated netherworld, it seemed as if black air currents were also drifting towards it, merging with the black air currents within Su Leibao's corpse.
Finally, slowly, it twisted and formed Su Leibao's Soul Binding!
Bit by bit...
He was pulled from the netherworld into the real world!
Buzz!
Li Che closed his eyes, severing the Star-Plucking Eye's view of the netherworld, and his heart stirred slightly.
"That is..."
"Dao Essence?"
"Netherworld Dao Essence... merging with Su Leibao's scattered soul power at the moment of his death, thus forming Soul Binding?"
"After death, will there still be a reflection in the netherworld? And Soul Binding is to pull the dead from the netherworld?"
There is Dao Essence in the heaven and earth.
For example, Dao Essence exists in the real world, and it is evident that it also exists in the netherworld.
However, ordinary people cannot even touch the netherworld, let alone Martial Saints... it seems that they cannot touch the netherworld either.
Li Che entered and saw the netherworld through the power of his divine ability, using the Penetrating Yin technique.
"Does the Deceptive Tower of the Mysterious Temple have something to do with the netherworld?"
Li Che seemed to be deep in thought.
While he was thinking, Su Leibao's Soul Binding had already fully formed, slowly condensing into a physical form.
Su Leibao's Soul Binding was a bit dazed, and after about three breaths, he slowly opened his eyes.
His expression became infinitely complex.
He actually...
Came back to life!
Moreover, he also knew who had brought him back to life at this moment!
He also realized who the bull demon in front of him was, and how terrifying he truly was!
Reviving the dead!
Furthermore, Su Leibao even felt his immortal and indestructible nature, as if he would never die.
He looked at the bull demon wearing the mask, and the cute bull mask seemed infinitely terrifying in Su Leibao's eyes.
Because, the identity behind this bull demon mask was someone he had never imagined.
It was actually... him?!
No!
It was actually Li Che!
The newly promoted Divine Eagle Demi-Saint of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Divine Eagle Ridge, that... honest and diligent Divine Eagle Demi-Saint who devoted himself to crafting divine eagles!
Su Leibao felt it was absurd, and his mind suffered a tremendous shock.
How could it be...
Him?!
Ever since the Su family's incident, Su Leibao had been investigating the true controller behind the netherworld, but no matter what methods he used, he couldn't find out.
As the netherworld continued to reveal its profound foundation, Su Leibao felt a sense of dread and despair.
Especially the King of the Netherworld...
He was comparable to the existence of the Absolute Apex level! Although Su Leibao couldn't determine the true realm of the King of the Netherworld, he made Yue Huanglong and Hong Shiffo feel heavy and vigilant.
This was enough to prove the power of the King of the Netherworld, who was absolutely an existence at the Absolute Apex level!
Absolute Apex...
That was a truly top-tier existence capable of supporting a million-year-old aristocratic family! However...
Now, as a Soul Binding, he had learned too many secrets that he had never known before.
Behind the extremely cruel and ruthless killers of the netherworld...
Standing there was actually the honest and diligent Divine Eagle Demi-Saint, Li Che!
Taking a deep breath,
Su Leibao calmed down his shock.
"Your subordinate, Su Leibao, pays respects to the master."
There was no thought of resistance, and Su Leibao even felt a bit fortunate.
Su Leibao had been full of regret, and now that he had come back to life, he naturally wanted nothing more than to survive.
Li Che looked at Su Leibao, who quickly accepted his servitude, and nodded in satisfaction.
Although he admired Su Leibao, if Su Leibao chose to resist and fight against his Soul Binding, there would be no need for it to exist.
It would naturally become food for the Soul Bindings of Huang Jianjiu, You Liqing, and the Dragon Maiden.
Just right, the Soul Bindings of Huang Jianjiu, You Liqing, and the Dragon Maiden, three top-tier Martial Saint Soul Bindings, after consuming another Soul Binding at the Second Opening Martial Saint level, would be able to step into the Second Opening realm.
"Not bad."
Li Che nodded.
He clenched his five fingers, took Su Leibao's golden thunderous blade and threw it to him, then collected Su Leibao's Heaven and Earth Jade.
Su Leibao was carrying most of the resources obtained from selling the Su family's assets, which were meant to support the Su family's clan members in the Divine Capital.
Li Che was extremely eager for these resources.
After reaching the Martial Saint realm, the required cultivation resources were indeed much more than before.
For example, the fifth-grade middle-quality pills required by Martial Saints were extremely expensive.
For Li Che, he even needed fifth-grade superior martial pills for cultivation, as his foundation was profound, and his cultivation requirements were greater than those of other Martial Saints.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air echoed.
The Soul Bindings of Huang Jianjiu, You Liqing, and the Dragon Maiden returned.
"My lord."
You Liqing, clad in golden armor, spoke in a deep voice, "The Great Marshal of the Divine Guard Army, Yan Jing, has left. Yan Jing has reached the peak of the Qi Sea realm, and we... couldn't stop him."
Huang Jianjiu, You Liqing, and the Dragon Maiden, three top-tier Human Essence Core Martial Saints, could even ignore damage, detonate divine seeds, and their combat power was no less than that of Qi Sea Martial Saints.
However, they couldn't stop Yan Jing, the Great Marshal of the Divine Guard Army.
As the top expert under Yue Huanglong, Yan Jing led the strongest of the four Divine Guard Armies in Heavenly Origin Dao City, and his combat power was extremely strong, making him a Second Opening Martial Saint at the peak of the Qi Sea realm! In terms of combat power, even the peak-level Su Leibao was no match for Yan Jing.
After all, Yan Jing had been cultivating for many years and never neglected his Martial Dao cultivation, while Su Leibao, after becoming the head of the Su family, had not drawn his sword for a full cycle of sixty years. The gap between them was still significant.
"Yan Jing is a powerful expert sent by Dao Lord Yue Huanglong to escort me out of Southern Lingnan Dao... Yue Huanglong might be from the Third Prince's faction..."
Su Leibao spoke the truth.
Having transformed back into Soul Binding, he held his Thunder Dragon Blade, and his entire being even returned to the peak of his youth, resembling a wild and unrestrained blade master.
"The Third Prince's faction..."
Li Che's eyes flashed with a glimmer.
He didn't intend to pursue and take down Yan Jing as well.
He had no grudges with this Grand Marshal Yan Jing, so there was no need for that.
He, the Underworld Ox Demon...
was not someone who enjoyed killing.
"Alright, it's time to return."
Li Che suppressed the Ox Demon mask on his face, and his body stretched out, emitting a thunderous roar like a thunderstorm. Powerful energy surged through the void.
"Yes."
Huang Jianjiu, You Liqing, the Dragon Maiden, and the other Soul Binding practitioners bowed and saluted, then transformed into black Soul Binding chess pieces and floated around Li Che.
Su Leibao held the Golden Thunder Dragon Blade, but he hesitated...
"Speak."
Li Che glanced at him and said.
Although Li Che could forcefully and dominantly probe their thoughts and consciousness, he didn't feel the need to do so with the Soul Binding practitioners.
Most of the time, Li Che would still allow the Soul Binding practitioners to be themselves, with their own thoughts and privacy.
"My Lord... This subordinate... wants to check on the situation of the other two Su family teams..."
Su Leibao bowed and said in a low voice.
"Consider it... my last duty as the head of the Su family."
Upon hearing this, Li Che's eyebrows rose slightly.
"If you don't uproot the weed, it will grow again with the spring breeze."
"The Underworld has always chosen to eradicate threatening enemies, never leaving any trouble for itself."
Su Leibao bowed and said, "This subordinate understands."
Li Che nodded. He believed that the Soul Binding practitioners' submission to him was a confidence stemming from their divine abilities.
The heavenly chessboard spread out.
An unusual color flashed in Li Che's eyes, and he fell silent.
"Go."
"Go fulfill your final duty as the head of the family."
"From today on, you are the Underworld... Thunder Dragon Blade."
"I believe you understand."
Su Leibao was stunned by Li Che's attitude.
Then, he sighed, gripped his blade, and bowed.
"Thank..."
"My Lord."
...
...
The desolate snowflakes fell, fluttering and drifting down.
The snow on the ground piled up thickly, and the bright red blood slowly spread and stained the snow, blooming like scarlet flowers in the white snow.
The shattered carriage was overturned, its wheels still slowly turning, creaking as they spun.
The falling snowflakes piled up on the wheels, forming a thick layer.
"Is everything cleaned up?"
A hoarse voice echoed, and several masked figures stood in the snowy field, wearing straw hats and holding bloodstained long swords, spears, and other weapons.
The ground was littered with corpses, an entire team of hundreds of Su family members, all dead.
The Grand Master and Divine Yuan Great Realman, who were responsible for escorting the Su family, were also dead.
The bodies lay strewn across the snowy ground, a shocking sight.
Not a single survivor was left, not even the infants in their swaddling clothes, who had been cut in half.
"We didn't find any records of the rumored secret technique from the Western Buddhist lands that can absorb women's talents. It seems... it should be with Su Leibao."
A deep voice echoed across the snowy field.
"Su Leibao is protected by the Dao Lord's Mansion's Divine Guard Grand Marshal Yan Jing. If we go there... we'll only be going to our deaths. What a pity..."
"I thought that since the Su family had the means to cultivate, they should know the specific records of the secret technique. What a shame..."
"The Su family is still stable..."
"Stable my ass! If they were truly stable, how could a grand family that has witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties for three thousand years end up like this?"
"The Su family is completely ruined. Even if they flee to the Divine Capital, they won't be able to develop there, a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones."
"Join the Third Prince? Without any benefits, why would the Third Prince care about us?"
...
These masked figures laughed coldly.
Their cultivation was not weak.
Being able to surround and kill the Grand Master and Divine Yuan Great Realman, they naturally had some strength and confidence.
They were experts from the various large and small families within the Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Su Leibao had dealt with the major families, but he didn't have the time to handle these minor families and small forces. After all, he didn't have much time left.
Su Leibao never imagined that these minor families and small forces would dare to intercept the Su family's convoy.
"Let's go. The Su family is finished."
"However, the Su family still has some influence in the Divine Capital. It's rumored that the Su family's Martial Dao genius, who is stationed in the Divine Capital to support the two Su family women who married into the royal family, might have successfully opened the Mountain Path."
"What's there to be afraid of? Even if they investigate, we can just blame it on the Underworld."
"The Underworld is ruthless, slaughtering the entire Su family. We're wearing masks, so who would know it's us? Besides, we didn't gain anything from this..."
"Moreover, we have someone backing us! It was the Dao Lord who instructed us to act this way!"
Someone scoffed.
They looked at the corpses of the Su family members, frozen stiff and covered in snow on the snowy field, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Witnessing the destruction of the once-powerful Su family, watching the Su family's downfall, these people felt a peculiar excitement.
Whoosh—
In the sky, a fierce wind howled.
The storm grew more intense.
Large swaths of snowflakes were blown away by the raging wind, swirling and lashing like whips.
Everyone's vision seemed to be obscured by the snow.
Suddenly, these experts who had slaughtered the Su family's convoy felt a chill rise in their hearts.
Among the experts present, the weakest was a Precelestial Grand Master, so their perception and sensitivity were not low.
In the instant they sensed the change in the environment, they turned and saw a figure shrouded in black energy walking through the snowstorm.
Amidst the raging storm and blizzard, the sky seemed to part as he walked, slowly splitting open on both sides.
The powerful cultivators present felt their bodies stiffen.
Sizzling—
A bolt of thunder suddenly fell, writhing like a thunder dragon.
Pfft—!
A Primordial Grand Master wearing a mask was instantly struck by the thunder, his entire skull exploding, and his shattered flesh and blood soared, shrouding the area in a mist of blood that resembled blooming sanguine flowers in the midst of the white snow.
The Martial Dao Will descended, oppressive like a mountain.
It was as if a resurrected dragon, beheaded, filled with rage and resentment, was lashing out with its severed head, its wrathful blade light spanning the heavens.
Their paths of retreat were completely blocked!
"Such a powerful Martial Dao Will..."
"Heaven and Man Induction!"
"Martial Saint! It's definitely a Martial Saint!"
"Damn..."
"I can't move, move! Run!"
The cultivators' hearts felt as if they were being struck by a heavy drum, their bodies covered in goosebumps. They wanted to move, but they couldn't budge at all!
Terror filled the eyes of the powerful cultivators.
Even the top-tier Grand Masters with the Heavenly Three Flowers cultivation base felt suffocated at this moment. Because this sensation wasn't from an ordinary Martial Saint!
It was a Martial Saint of the Second Opening of Qi Hai Realm!
The wind and snow parted, and the world suddenly became eerily quiet, as if all the snow had turned into ashes under the blade's light.
Standing amidst the snow, Su Leibao held the Golden Thunder Dragon Blade, his eyes wide with shock.
He watched as the Su Family's caravan, including the children, was slaughtered...
For a moment, Su Leibao's emotions surged to the extreme.
"Yue Huanglong..."
Su Leibao muttered under his breath, his voice filled with murderous intent.
It was like a lit bomb, ready to explode at any moment!
Yan Jing had escorted him away from Lingnan Dao, but in reality, it was more like surveillance than protection.
And Yue Huanglong's true target...
...was the rest of the Su Family.
Yue Huanglong wanted the secret Buddhist technique that enhanced one's innate talent by absorbing the talents of others—the Joyful Meditation Buddha's Female Spirit Absorption Technique!
But the Su Family taught this secret technique in separate upper and lower sections, and the family members only knew parts of it. Moreover, the most crucial process was kept by the family head.
So, Yue Huanglong's plan naturally failed.
But he never expected...
That Yue Huanglong would slaughter every member of the Su Family.
"You..."
"All of you deserve to die!"
Su Leibao's black hair stood on end as he rose, his body suddenly swelling, turning purple. Countless sharp blade intents surged and spread!
Boom—!
His aura soared to the pinnacle, and he unleashed his power without reservation, like an enraged dragon soaring through the sky!
"Run!"
The Grand Masters and Grand Immortals who managed to break free from their restraints using secret techniques fled frantically.
However, as soon as they escaped, they were struck down by the terrifying power hidden in the snowstorm.
