Chapter 120 : Su Yen appearance...
Up in the dark and somber sky, Su Yen stood serenely atop Blue Wing, his robe billowing gently in the breeze.
He had arrived in the Western Barren Land a few hours earlier, but the system had prevented him from intervening, a decision that had filled him with frustration.
[Ding!]
[The fortune of the people of the barren land is about to increase. Host, it is advised not to meddle in it.]
This was the information he had received from the system. Su Yen had tried to question the system, seeking answers about what was transpiring below, but the system remained silent, refusing to respond to his inquiries.
Left with no choice but to abide by the system's enigmatic warning, Su Yen clenched his teeth, gazing down from the skies as the Blood Whisperers continued their ruthless slaughter.
Each person killed was a source of anguish for him, the waiting weighing heavily on his soul.
He witnessed the commencement of the blood sacrifice within the Jin mansion and observed the formation of the ominous Blood Pillar stretching into the heavens.
It was a spectacle both horrifying and awe-inspiring. His impulse to descend and rescue his men was restrained only by the unyielding warnings of the system.
As his patience waned, and the last remnants of his self-restraint began to wear thin, an astonishing event unfolded before his eyes.
The people, on the brink of annihilation, began to awaken the Pagoda Bloodline power. Su Yen gasped in amazement, taking several moments to fully grasp the gravity of what he was witnessing.
"System, is this what you meant by an increase in fortune?" he inquired, seeking some understanding.
[Ding!]
[Indeed, with this, the destiny of the barren land will change forever.]
Taking a deep breath, Su Yen looked at the glowing pagoda that had appeared behind his people. A little smile appeared on his face. He had noticed some small changes happening in his body earlier, but he didn't expect it to be the pagoda bloodline.
"I have to say, the pagoda is a blessing to me since I got it," he thought out loud. "I believe the pagoda must be related to Bloodmoon envoy. Now, they can forget about getting their hands on it." His voice sounded determined.
Before, the pagoda had been like a communication center for spirits. But now, it was more than that. He turned his gaze to the two proud individuals and a sly smile curled on his lips.
"System, am I free to join the battle now?"
Even though he asked the system for permission, he had already jumped off Blue Wing's back. The anger inside him couldn't be held back any longer.
The system finally responded.
[Ding!]
[Affirmative.]
Down below, Patriarch Jin Mu and the Blood Whisperer were standing proudly, enjoying the sounds of battle. T
hen, the Blood Whisperer furrowed his brow under his hood and looked up. Su Yen was slowly descending from the sky. Patriarch Jin also noticed and stepped back in shock.
Deep down, Patriarch Jin had always been wary of Su Yen, the master of the Celestial Heavenly Sect. He knew Su Yen was a young man who wouldn't hesitate to wipe out a family or clan that crossed him.
Now, he had betrayed such a man. He turned to look at the calm Blood Whisperer and tried to regain some confidence. But he realized he was drenched in cold sweat from fear.
Su Yen landed gently in front of them without saying a word. The atmosphere became tense and stifling.
Patriarch Jin Mu felt like he couldn't breathe. Sweat beads gathered on his forehead, and his lips trembled.
People had speculated about how strong Su Yen was, but no one really knew. Now, looking at the half-smile on Su Yen's face, Patriarch Jin Mu realized that Su Yen was even more terrifying than people thought.
His ally, the Blood Whisperer leader, didn't show any signs of dealing with Su Yen immediately.
What did this mean?
In the presence of Su Yen, an overwhelming sense of terror and dread enveloped the area. He was more terrifying and deadly than anyone had ever imagined, and even the Blood Whisperer leader paled in comparison to him.
The Blood Whisperer leader, who had struck fear into the hearts of many, now found himself overshadowed by the sheer malevolence of Su Yen.
"S-Sect..."
"Silence," Su Yen casually waved his hand, and a mysterious sigil floated out of his palm, hurtling with blinding speed towards the forehead of Patriarch Jin Mu.
Patriarch Jin Mu barely had time to process what was happening as the sigil shot into his head. Panic surged through his mind, and his heart raced as if it would burst out of his chest.
He couldn't comprehend what had just occurred. "What's happening?!" he screamed within the confines of his own thoughts.
The Blood Whisperer leader witnessed the entire sequence of events and felt a chilling shock. He wanted to ask Su Yen what he had done, but the sigil emanated an eerie aura that sent shivers down his spine.
To his astonishment, he soon realized that Patriarch Jin Mu was rendered immobile.
He saw the desperate intent in Jin Mu's eyes to speak, but his mouth and body refused to obey any commands.
This left him bewildered and alarmed. "What on earth is this?!"
Su Yen observed the shock on the faces of Patriarch Jin Mu and the Blood Whisperer leader, even though his features remained concealed.
The subtle shifts in their expressions did not escape his keen perception.
"You must be the one responsible for the chaos in my land," Su Yen remarked slowly, his voice laced with authority.
"My land?" retorted a deep, hoarse voice from behind the Blood Whisperer's mask. "Since when did the barren land become your land?" The tone dripped with mockery.
Despite acknowledging Su Yen's incredible power, the Blood Whisperer leader remained unfazed.
With the ancient being behind him, he saw no reason to be concerned. At most, Su Yen could pose a minor inconvenience, but that was all.
"It seems I'm being underestimated by a mere maggot," Su Yen chuckled, his amusement palpable.
With a sudden burst of speed, he took a step and appeared before the Blood Whisperer leader. In a swift and deadly motion, he unleashed a powerful uppercut.
Bang!
