Chapter 933 - I’ve Come to Take You Home
An air of combat permeated the turbulent landscape.0
The battle was certainly brutal by any standards, but it was quickly becoming apparent who’d emerge victorious.0
Ye Yu, Wei Daoyuan, and Lu Xing were still bitterly holding on, but the other Emperors were all injured and on the brink of death. They were tending to their wounds on the other side of the Rift Barrier, unable to fight any longer.0
Lu Xing was even willing to fight to the death and destroy indiscriminately to create a path to life for Ye Yu and Wei Daoyuan.0
The fighting had reached a critical juncture.0
But it was under these circumstances that the situation changed abruptly, in a way no one could have predicted.0
First, You Xue appeared out of nowhere, swung the Burning Silence Ruler through the swarm of demons, and helped Ye Yu escape their encirclement. 0
Immediately afterward, the White Bone Emperor, Divine Monarch Falling Star, and an entire group of terrifying evil spirits appeared, breaking through the ranks of the demons surrounding them and shaking the entire battlefield.0
Just as the battle was about to end, they rewrote the ending!0
All of this completely overturned Ye Yu, Wei Daoyuan, and Lu Xing’s imaginations.0
Even the Emperors treating their wounds in the distance were dazed.0
They were on the brink of death, only for reinforcements to descend from the heavens and turn the tides. Who could have imagined this?0
The throngs of terrifying demons eyed them hungrily from a distance. Murderous intent spread throughout the overcast landscape.0
It was under this oppressive atmosphere that a young man in blue rode in astride a Radiant Void Beast.0
As if there were no one else around.0
The sight came as an enormous surprise to everyone present!0
The Emperors present were, without exception, old monsters. All of them had lived for a long, long time. How could they fail to realize that this young man in blue was leading these unexpected reinforcements?0
“Who is that young man?” gasped the white-haired woman. “Why would the Radiant Void Beast of the Chaotic Void Blood Lake let him ride on its back?” 0
She recognized the Radiant Void Beast at a glance!0
“The White Bone Emperor, Divine Monarch Falling Star, Evil Emperor Red Silk…” the thin old man in black gulped with great difficulty, and his eyes filled with bewilderment. “They’re among the most terrifying spirits in the City of the Wrongfully Dead. How could they possibly fight at the vanguard and clear a path for a young man like that?”0
It was truly unbelievable.0
“No matter what, it seems… we’ve been saved….” the stalwart man said in a quavering voice.0
The past few weeks had been utterly dark and dismal. Every day, they faced life-and-death trials.0
Yet now, someone had descended from the heavens, and the light of hope re-entered their hearts.0
Meanwhile, Ye Yu was rooted to the spot.0
Rather, the moment she saw the young man in blue arrive, she seemed completely dumbstruck. The sharp, determined look in her eyes softened, and she fell into a daze.0
The famous Falling Feather Spirit Empress felt as if she were dreaming. It just didn’t seem real, and she found it difficult to believe.0
However, as the young man in blue approached on the back of the Radiant Void Beast, Ye Yu’s traitorous heart beat violently, and her slender, delicate frame quivered.0
“Little Leaf, I’ve come to take you home,” Su Yi said gently.0
When he knew her as a young woman, she was quiet, graceful, obedient, and sweet-natured.0
Now, she was already in the Profound Serenity Realm, and she was famed as the Falling Feather Spirit Empress. She’d changed a lot.0
But that wasn’t important.0
When he saw the wounds and bloodstains on Little Leaf’s body, as well as her slightly pallid complexion, Su Yi’s heart ached.0
Ye Yu’s eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes widened. Despite herself, tears welled in her eyes and flowed down her cheeks.0
Only now did she dare say with certainty that she wasn’t dreaming.0
The man she’d dreamed about for countless years had come for her when she was at her most helpless! An indescribable excitement and delight coursed through her.0
But she forcefully suppressed it and flashed him a radiant smile. “I just knew you’d come back!”0
Her voice was like the burbling of spring water, and it revealed her incomparable joy.0
When You Xue saw this, she looked a bit conflicted.0
Su Yi, however, walked up and gently dried Ye Yu’s tears. “Come with me. Let’s talk over there.”0
Then, he turned and walked toward the Rift Barrier.0
Ye Yu hesitated. “But the demons…”0
“Your Excellency, you needn’t worry. Just leave it to us.” Old Yao White Eyebrows seized the opportunity to pound his chest and reassure her.1
Then, he turned to the White Bone Emperor and the other terrifying lifeforms, cleared his throat, and shouted, “Everyone, you can attack now!”0
His voice spread throughout heaven and earth.0
The White Bone Emperor, DIvine Monarch Falling Star, and the other terrifying lifeforms frowned.0
However, although they disliked having Old Yao White Eyebrows order them around, none of them dared be negligent. They promptly attacked in full force. 0
Boom!0
This stretch of heaven and earth descended into turmoil once more, and the deathly silent atmosphere shattered.0
More than ten terrifying entities attacked at once. Even the weakest of them was comparable to a Profound Serenity Emperor! 0
The strongest, like White Bone Emperor and Divine Monarch Falling Star, were strong enough to threaten the lives of even powerful Profound Serenity Emperors!0
When they attacked together, their combined momentum threw this overcast world into turmoil, devastating the landscape.0
“Kill!” 0
Practically simultaneously, the demons took action.0
They chose to retreat earlier, but that was only because they were surprised; they weren’t really scared. They naturally wouldn’t just sit back and wait to die.0
A grand battle broke out.0
You Xue stayed behind too.0
She knew full well that after tens of thousands of years of separation, both Su Yi and Ye Yu had a lot to say to each other.0
If she chased after them, she’d just make a fool of herself.0
Whoosh!0
You Xue drew the Burning Silence Ruler and attacked through the air.0
“Let’s go,” whispered Su Yi. He led the way into the distance.0
From beginning to end, he ignored the others present. Even the demons; Su Yi disregarded them completely. 0
Ye Yu nodded, then obediently followed shortly behind him.0
When she fought earlier, the Falling Feather Spirit Empress was forceful and valiant. However, it seemed she’d shed off her sharp and valiant disguise to return to the quiet, graceful young woman she was back then.0
As for the battle raging behind her? She’d already set all such thoughts aside.0
She saw nothing and thought about nothing. All that remained was delight.0
As they walked, Ye Yu looked at the hands Su Yi had behind his back. After a moment’s hesitation, she worked up her courage, drew closer, stretched out a slender, jade-like arm, and took Su Yi’s right hand.0
Her delicate frame stiffened slightly, and her fingertips quivered. She was so nervous that she subconsciously lowered her head, as if afraid he’d chastise her.0
Su Yi was stunned too. When he sensed the smoothness of her little hands and the power of her grip, he couldn’t help but smile. 0
He said nothing. He simply continued ahead, letting her hold his hand.0
Ye Yu inwardly sighed in relief, and her pink lips rose into a faint smile. Her eyes filled with delight.0
All she’d done was take his hand, but to her, this simple gesture was extraordinarily meaningful.0
Were it possible, she’d want to walk like this forever, hand in hand, never stopping…0
Off in the distance, Lu Xing and the others saw all of this.0
Lu Xing’s expression contained astonishment, bewilderment, as well as wordless melancholy.0
Just who is that young man in blue? Why… Why would Ye Yu take his hand of her own volition? Why would she follow him so obediently?0
Suddenly, the distant battlefield raged with unprecedented intensity. Heaven and earth shook.0
However, Lu Xing’s heart was full of bitterness he couldn’t quite put into words.0
He suddenly recalled the “him” Ye Yu had muttered to herself about before the battle began.0
Don’t tell me that young man in blue is the man she spoke of then? But he’s obviously just in the Spiritual Revolution Realm, and… he looks so young…0
Lu Xing was dazed. He would never have guessed that anyone but the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force could win the Falling Feather Spirit Empress’s heart.0
Lu Xing turned to look at the distant battlefield, then gnashed his teeth, turned, and left the battlefield.0
He chased after Su Yi and Ye Yu and said, “My name is Lu Xing. Thank you for saving my life, Fellow Daoist!”0
Lu Xing took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said, “Might I perhaps learn your name?”0 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥．𝗰𝗼𝐦
Su Yi glanced at Lu Xing. “Are you from the Deva Division’s Lu Family?”0
Lu Xing couldn’t help but feel stunned. He wouldn’t have guessed that a young Spiritual Revolution Realm would see through him at a glance.0
He nodded. “I am indeed.”0
“There’s no need to tell you my name,” Su Yi said casually. “And you don’t need to thank me. You’d be better off using this time to treat your wounds. Once we’ve dealt with those demons, I’ll get you out of here.”0
With that, he disregarded Lu Xing and continued ahead.0
Lu Xing was stunned. He was a member of the Deva Division’s Lu Family and a mighty early-stage Profound Serenity Emperor in his own right.0
Ordinarily speaking, even Profound Illumination Emperors treated him with the utmost respect, let alone Spirit Dao cultivators. No one dared show the slightest negligence.0
Yet now, a Spiritual Revolution Realm young man didn’t seem the least bit interested in him despite knowing that he was from the Lu Family!0
This seemed unquestionably out of the ordinary.0
In the end, Lu Xing repressed his confusion and asked no further questions.0
When Su Yi and Ye Yu returned to camp, the Emperors currently treating their wounds approached, one by one, and expressed their gratitude.0
Ye Yu naturally couldn’t hold Su Yi’s hand any longer.0
“I came here to retrieve Ye Yu. I merely saved you while I was at it; you needn’t thank me,” Su Yi said casually.0
Then, he turned to Ye Yu. “Let’s find a place for a private chat.”0
“Mm!” Ye Yu said obediently.0
The two of them then proceeded into the distance, completely ignoring the Emperors’ flabbergasted expressions.0
It seemed they hadn’t expected that a Spiritual Revolution Realm young man would be so cold and aloof; he wasn’t even willing to converse with them.0
But none of them were displeased with his behavior.0
After all, Su Yi’s arrival had turned the tides and given them hope of escape!0
This benevolence was more than enough to motivate them to overlook any trivial grievances.0
Su Yi’s behavior did, however, pique their curiosity.0
A young Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivator had led a group of terrifying spirits, the sovereigns of the City of the Wrongfully Dead’s forbidden grounds, all the way into the seventh layer of purgatory. This already seemed unbelievable.0
Even more unbelievably, the mighty, proud Falling Feather Spirit Empress seemed docile and sweet-natured in front of this Spiritual Revolution Realm teenager.0
All of this made Su Yi seem quite mysterious.0
“Do you think that boy is the incarnation of the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force?” someone couldn’t help but transmit.2
One sentence, and the crowd’s hearts shook.0
Lu Xing’s expression changed dramatically.
