Chapter 165 Seeking Sound Valley, Unleashing a Bloodbath
Whoosh—! Snap!
A crisp sound of impact interrupted Isaac's words.
Snap! Bang!
The flagpole in Qingju's hand snapped in two, and the black flag fell straight to the ground.
Qingju's raised arm stopped in mid-air, staring blankly at the remaining half of the wooden stick in her hand. What to do now?
While I was still in a daze, whoosh! slap!
"Ah—!" Qingju clutched her knees, knelt down with a thud, her eyes bloodshot, and shouted, "Who is it?!"
"Son!" Qinggan was furious as she watched her precious son being murdered. "Xuanfeng! How could you be so vicious! You used underhanded tricks to harm our Qinggan?!"
"Sister! Aren't you going to do anything about it?! In my opinion, Xuanfeng is going to rebel!" Qingjin stood up angrily, pointed at Xuanfeng and cursed, "You really are a heartless person! You can be so cruel to your own nephew! It's a good thing that Wuji Dao is no longer in your hands! Otherwise, who knows how arrogant you would have become!"
Xuanfeng was also completely baffled by Qingju's injury. Who did it? Could it be that Leiming couldn't hold back anymore?
"Get out of the way—!" Just as Xuanfeng was guessing, a familiar voice rang out.
Hmm? Girl!
Xuanfeng's heart trembled violently, and he stared in shock as he looked in the direction of the sound!
The gray-white snow wolves, about ten feet tall, seemed to emerge from the ground as they galloped through the grass!
And atop this snow wolf was none other than Su Yuyao, who had been silent for a long time!
Su Yuyao wore a gold-inlaid wolf tooth as a symbol of her status on her forehead. Her braided hair swayed in the air as the snow flew by, and the animal teeth and bones adorning her hairline clattered together with a crisp sound!
As she circled back to the slingshot, she shouted, "Get out of my way!"
Those who were chanting slogans along with Qingju below the arena were also stunned and stared at Qingju, at a loss.
Everyone was startled by Su Yuyao's sudden appearance.
Xuanfeng's heart leaped into his throat; for the first time, he felt suffocated. He stared intently at his girl, who seemed unchanged, yet everything about her had changed!
Ze Yuan looked at the dashing Su Yuyao with delight, a strong sense of conquest suddenly rushing to his navel. He narrowed his eyes to admire his long-awaited prey.
Hongzhu slightly raised her eyelids, looked at Zeyuan, and then followed Zeyuan's ardent, expectant gaze to Su Yuyao. Her hatred deepened. She gritted her teeth, gripping the teapot tightly. Su Yuyao! Why?! Why do so many people like you?!
On the surface, Yi's mother remained calm, but inside she was in turmoil, watching Su Yuyao galloping away on her wolf with trepidation! Only when Su Yuyao leaped onto the stands on Ruixue and then jumped off Ruixue with the agility of a swallow did she breathe a sigh of relief without making a sound.
Ignoring everyone's astonishment, Su Yuyao walked straight to Mother Yi, clasped her hands in a fist and bowed, "Snow Mountain Wolf Clan Leader, Sa Ningbao, greets Mother Yi!"
Yi's mother looked Su Yuyao up and down. She wore a tight-fitting dress with narrow sleeves and a long robe with a wide waist. Although Su Yuyao was already chubby before, she looked even more voluptuous and firm this time, and she also had a more feminine charm!
Looking at Su Yuyao's flat stomach and fuller bust, her mother smiled knowingly and asked softly, "Su Yuyao, how have you been lately?"
Su Yuyao slightly raised her head to look at her mother. She knew that her mother's words had a hidden meaning, so she replied, "Your Majesty, I am fine!"
Yi's mother was somewhat excited, but unable to show it, so she covered her nose and smiled secretly.
"You think you're so great?! We Qingju are anything but!" Qingjin jumped up, hands on her hips, eyes bulging. "Su Yuyao! What right do you have to hurt our Qingju?!"
"Why?!" Su Yuyao glanced at Qingju, who was sweating profusely from the pain on the arena, and Qinggan, who was kneeling beside her, supporting her precious son and fuming. She gripped the crescent-shaped blade at her waist, walked up to Qingjin, raised her head, and glared at him with her dark red eyes, saying leisurely, "Because I am the leader of the Snow Mountain Wolf Clan—Sa Ningbao!"
"Pah!" Qingjin said angrily, "Our Qingju is the champion of this competition! No matter what kind of monster you are, you can't be so arrogant!"
"What?" Su Yuyao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "The champion of the gladiator competition? I had no idea!"
She drew her crescent blade, rubbed it against the leather belt at her waist, and said, "I only saw someone holding a tattered flag and shouting a bunch of things about rebellion! So... I taught him a lesson! I never expected that the person who wanted to rebel was Qingju!"
"Don't make baseless accusations! We Qingju haven't rebelled!" Qingjin roared.
"Oh, I knew it! How could Qingju, who's so stupid, possibly rebel? It turns out it's Qinggan who's going to rebel!" Su Yuyao said, brandishing the knife in her hand.
"You! You lowly bastard! How dare you slander our Qinggan?!" Qingjin's words had barely fallen when several disgruntled glares pierced the air.
"Me? A lowly wretch?" Su Yuyao sneered. "Let's not even talk about whether I'm the leader of the wolf clan or not. Don't forget, my immortal master is Lord Qi Meng! You call me a lowly wretch, then what is my immortal master?"
Qingjin knew he had said the wrong thing, so he could only stare blankly, panting heavily with anger.
"Su Yuyao! Don't try to confuse the issue!" Hongzhu couldn't hold back any longer and said, puffing out her chest, "How did you become the leader of the wolf clan?! Wasn't it because of Lord Xuanfeng that you became Lord Qimeng's apprentice? Aren't you despicable?!"
Snap!
Before Hongzhu could finish speaking, Su Yuyao slapped her hard across the face and asked in a gloomy tone, "Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that?"
"Su Yuyao!" Hongzhu covered her face and glared at Su Yuyao. "I am Lord Zeyuan's maid! How dare you hit me?!"
Su Yuyao sneered, "Nu'e? You're from Yu Chuanzi, how did you manage to climb into Lord Zeyuan's bed? Judging from your posture, I thought you were the Mother of Wuji!"
"You!" Hongzhu covered her face, too angry to speak, and could only turn to Zeyuan, "My lord... look..."
Ze Yuan stepped forward and pulled Hong Zhu behind him, staring at Su Yu Yao's chest with ill intent. He recalled the panicked, tearful, crying and struggling Su Yu Yao, and thought, "That taste...it was so sweet!"
He licked his lips and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Miss Ningbao would change so much after so long! Since you're already here, why don't we catch up later?"
"Zeyuan!" Xuanfeng roared.
"Lord Zeyuan is too kind!" Su Yuyao quickly chimed in, "We certainly need to catch up, but I have other things to attend to right now!"
Su Yuyao turned to Mother Yi, clasped her hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty Mother Yi! There has been a traitor within the Wolf Clan, and we have been investigating him for some time now. We have finally tracked him down here. Since you are here, please bear witness! Today, I will purge the Wolf Clan!"
"Oh? A traitor can emerge from the wolf clan?" Mother Yi found Su Yuyao's statement quite novel. "What kind of traitor?"
"He's an ungrateful, disloyal traitor who repays kindness with enmity!" Su Yuyao shouted.
Xuanfeng's heart skipped a beat. Silly girl! Are you going to do it for me?
Su Yuyao dared not meet Xuan Feng's gaze, and could only think to herself, "If I don't take action, am I supposed to just watch you rebel?"
"Girl!" Xuanfeng stepped forward, grabbed Su Yuyao's arm, glared at her, and whispered, "You better go back right now! Hurry up and go!"
Su Yuyao's heart pounded wildly, and she hurriedly broke free from Xuanfeng's hand. "Lord Xuanfeng! Our wolf clan's affairs have nothing to do with you! I see you're making quite a fuss, and I have no interest in getting involved. I'll just do my own thing, and once I'm done, I'll leave immediately!"
Mother Yi glanced at Xuan Feng, who was wholeheartedly protecting Su Yuyao, then looked at the stubborn Su Yuyao, and asked with a smile, "Su Yuyao, what do you want to do?"
Su Yuyao bowed again, saying, "Wolf clan tradition: unwavering loyalty! Anyone who has a disloyal heart will be expelled from the pack and never allowed to return! Anyone who is treacherous, deceitful, or deliberately harms the wolf clan will be punished by the wolf clan!"
Looking at the increasingly mature Su Yuyao, Mother Yi felt more at ease. "The Wolf Clan's traditional system is always absolute, and we will definitely respect it! Xuanfeng, since the Wolf Clan has important matters to attend to, let's stop for a while and wait! Pass down the order: from this moment on, everything will be done according to the Wolf Clan's arrangements!"
Xuanfeng looked at Yi's mother in surprise. Although he understood that Yi's mother did not want to break off relations with him, her strong support for Su Yuyao puzzled Xuanfeng.
Xuanfeng breathed a slight sigh of relief. In any case, having Su Yuyao deal with Qinggan was the best solution at present, at least it avoided revealing their trump cards at this time.
But the relief he felt was quickly replaced by anxiety...
Su Yuyao leaped onto the arena, hands behind her back, knife in hand, pacing back and forth with a lecturing air, scrutinizing the crowd below. She declared loudly, "The Wolf Clan! We will never tolerate traitors! Our Wolf Clan has been able to secure a place in this Immortal Mountain because of a gentleman's agreement with Lord Xuanfeng! The Wolf Clan guards the Snow Mountain and protects the peace of the Immortal Mountain for Lord Xuanfeng!"
Xuan Feng, holding his breath, stared at Su Yuyao. This silly girl! Why did she have to walk straight into the crest of the wave?!
He looked at Qimen, opening the long-sealed door of his heart, and for the first time in months, he used his mind to send a message to Qimen: "Immortal Master! Notify Leiming to be prepared to rescue the girl at any time!"
Qi Men's eyes flickered slightly, and he silently retreated.
Su Yuyao continued solemnly, "But! There's a traitor in the wolf clan! Just now! Among those of you shouting reactionary slogans, there were members of the wolf clan! I advise you to come out and face your deaths obediently, or you'll die a horrible death!"
Although Su Yuyao has a strong aura, she is still young and looks like a porcelain doll. Even if she speaks harshly, to outsiders she is just a domineering girl who likes to show off.
The people in the audience were not intimidated at all; instead, they began whispering among themselves.
Xuanfeng scratched his nose somewhat awkwardly. "Silly girl! How many people did she bring?! How dare she talk like that?!"
"Oh ho?! Nobody dares to come out, is that it?" Su Yuyao brandished the crescent-shaped blade in her hand and said, "You have your own masters, so I understand that you follow their will and body! However, your masters have harbored wicked intentions and gone down the wrong path! If you continue to follow them, you will have crossed the bottom line of the wolf clan! This is a road of no return!"
Su Yuyao gripped the crescent-shaped blade in her hand and suddenly slashed it horizontally. In an instant, the blade's energy cleaved through the sky, making everyone's ears ring!
Everyone covered their ears, staring in astonishment at Su Yuyao on the stage.
The Valley of Seeking Sounds is silent.
Everyone watched Su Yuyao quietly, wondering what other tricks she would pull.
"As the leader of the wolf clan, I must fulfill my duties as leader!" Su Yuyao held her sword horizontally beside her and said, "You are the masters, and I am the wolf clan. How about we imitate the rules of gladiatorial combat and play a game where the winner takes all? You challenge me, and I will accept the challenge. On this arena, whoever survives to the end will be the victor!"
"No!" Xuanfeng shouted, "Su Yuyao! Are you crazy?! Get back here right now!"
"Lord Xuanfeng!" Ruixue stepped in front of Xuanfeng and said coldly, "It is not appropriate for you to interfere in the affairs of our wolf clan!"
"Ruixue! Do you know what Su Yuyao is doing?!" Xuanfeng frowned and glared at him, speaking fiercely.
Ruixue said dismissively, "You still don't understand Ningbao!"
"W-what? Condensing...treasure?" Xuanfeng stared at Ruixue in surprise. "Ruixue! You'd better watch your step..."
"Tch!" Ruixue rolled her eyes at Xuanfeng, then turned around and looked at Su Yuyao on the arena.
After settling Qingju in, Qinggan glared fiercely at Su Yuyao, "Su Yuyao! You'd better keep your word!"
"Of course! If I die here, the wolf clan will be permanently removed from the territory of the Immortal Mountain! However, if I survive, every single one of those people who were shouting slogans just now will not leave alive!"
Su Yuyao's eyes widened in shock, and her jet-black, shiny pupils slowly turned blood red!
She glared at Qinggan with bloodshot eyes, "Qinggan! Do you dare to bet with me?!"
"No!" Before Qinggan could speak, Xuanfeng released his Qi field and enveloped Su Yuyao. "You brat! Are you out of your mind?!"
A green Qi wind enveloped Su Yuyao, while a yellow Qi wind rushed towards Xuan Feng!
The Qi field released by Xuanfeng immediately dissipated! And Xuanfeng was trapped inside a yellow Qi shield.
Xuanfeng stared in shock at the Qi shield before him, then suddenly widened his eyes and turned sharply to look at Yi Mu.
"Your Majesty! Why?!" he roared angrily.
Mother Yi slowly withdrew her hand. "Xuanfeng, you must believe her!"
"Your Majesty!" Xuanfeng glared at Yi's mother, his eyes red. "Just how much do you hate me? You won't even spare the person I love so deeply?!"
Yi's mother's heart ached with pain. Looking at Xuan Feng, who was growing increasingly angry within the Qi barrier, she whispered, "Child, you have lost your way!"
Su Yuyao heard Xuan Feng's roar, but she couldn't turn around because in her blood-red vision, clusters of dark Qi were baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on her!
She suddenly unleashed her Qi field, channeling it into the blade, and with her feet swirling with Qi, she raised the blade and slashed at the darkness before her.
Qinggan was stunned as he watched as Su Yuyao chopped off the heads of his men one by one.
Ze Yuan was stunned. This adorable yet spoiled, brave yet ruthless Su Yuyao was truly... too challenging!
Hongzhu was stunned. How could she possibly fight against Su Yuyao like this?
Qingjin was not only stunned, but also terrified. She hurriedly pulled the frightened Qingju to her mother's side and quietly hid away.
Yi's mother squinted, watching Su Yuyao go on a killing spree with a half-smile. Her expression was calm and composed, but in her heart, she respected Su Yuyao's decisiveness even more.
Qi Men stared at Su Yuyao in shock, then asked Xuan Feng, "My lord! Should we... send Lei Ming up to rescue them?"
Xuanfeng had no intention of responding. He was lying anxiously on the Qi shield, watching Su Yuyao's swift and decisive killing with a horrified look. This girl... would she kill me like this too?
Qi Meng, Su Yuyao's immortal master, stroked his sparse beard, watching the transformed Su Yuyao with satisfaction. "Not bad! Good Qi field! Good Qi luck! Stable stance! Decisive strikes! Calm mind! Not bad!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, each with their own thoughts, those who had just rushed onto the stage were all beheaded by Su Yuyao.
Su Yuyao wiped the blood from the knife on her belt and asked with a cold smile, "Any more?"
Qinggan's face was contorted in pain. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Charge! Charge!"
Those who were just shouting slogans and raising their arms in the audience all shrank back and hid when they saw Su Yuyao's posture.
"You bunch of cowards!" Qinggan's eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets as she roared, "You've taken so many benefits from me, and now you're all acting like cowards!"
"What do you mean by 'took your benefits'? Which of these ten mountains belongs to Qinggan?!" Su Yuyao twirled the knife in her hand and asked in a sinister tone, "Anyone else coming up to die for Lord Qinggan?"
The people in the audience were only there to shout slogans because they had tasted the benefits from Qinggan. They had no loyalty to Qinggan whatsoever. Seeing Su Yuyao's frenzied killing, they dared not go on stage and stood there looking at each other in bewilderment.
Qinggan was dumbfounded. He never expected that his elaborate schemes would fail to win over these people at all!
"Qinggan, did you see clearly? Just how solid is the flattery you bought?" Su Yuyao slowly sheathed her crescent blade, then suddenly shouted, "Auspicious Snow! Shadow! Sandstorm! Suppress! Clear!"
Ruixue stepped onto the arena, transformed into a snow wolf, and leaped down!
Blood splattered instantly among the crowd. Some people had their heads chopped off on the spot, while others had their throats bitten open. Everyone scattered in panic, but after only a few steps, they fell into a deep pit and had their hearts ripped out by wolf claws.
The person who was just moments ago filled with righteous indignation and raising his arms in protest has now become a bloody corpse.
The sight startled Lei Ming, who was lurking in the bushes. He quickly looked at Xuan Feng, unsure whether he should step in to help, or who he should save.
Ruixue, covered in blood, returned to Su Yuyao's side, sat down, and licked the blood off her body as if no one else was there.
Su Yuyao glanced at the gradually quieting Xunyin Valley, then turned to look at Xuanfeng trapped within the Qi barrier. Her dark, bright eyes flashed back as she clasped her hands in a fist salute to Mother Yi and said, "Your Majesty! Our wolf clan's business is finished!"
