Chapter 492 - Su Xuanye's True Purpose
Chapter 492: Su Xuanye’s True Purpose
Seeing Yu Huang jump in, Sheng Xiao jumped down without hesitation.
The old dean stomped his feet and said in embarrassment, “You opened someone’s tomb! How wicked!”
Although it was immoral, the old dean still jumped in.
The underground palace was pitch-black and nothing could be seen clearly.
Sheng Xiao took out a moon-colored night pearl and raised it high. The dark light in the cave immediately dimmed.
Yu Huang’s vision was excellent. She saw white skeletons neatly arranged in the pit. These skeletons were fixed with a wooden board so that they were in a kneeling position.
Sheng Xiao said, “It’s a conviction pit.”
The conviction pit was a kind of array formation set up with the corpses of a group of criminals who had committed heinous crimes when they were alive. This array formation could imprison the souls of criminals and torture the souls of criminals after they died over and over again, making them repent and atone for their sins until their souls dissipated and their bones were weathered to ashes.
Although Yu Huang hadn’t attended many array formations classes in the Divine Realm Academy, under Lin Jiansheng’s request, she had long memorized many array techniques.
Yu Huang knew about the conviction pit.
It was obvious that this was Su Xuanye’s doing.
Yu Huang saw that there was a wooden sign on the back of these corpses. There seemed to be words written on it. She lowered her head and blew away the dust on the wooden sign. She saw a row of words written with a red pen—
Sinner Su Qunshan.
The old dean also came over. He saw the sign clearly and immediately explained, “Su Qunshan was the last patriarch of the Su family of Kui Mountain. He was also Su Xuanye’s father.”
“Tsk.”
Yu Huang clicked her tongue twice and said, “He’s even unwilling to let go of his father’s remains. It can be seen that Su Xuanye really hates the Su family to the core.” Yu Huang couldn’t help but think that if her mother was treated like this, she would do the same.
“Su Xuanye must hate the Su family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have planted the Spirit Restraining Parasite in the Su family back then.” When the old dean mentioned Su Xuanye, his expression was extremely complicated. He had lived a hard life when he was young. If Su Xuanye hadn’t helped him, he would have died long ago.
The old dean respected and hated Su Xuanye.
However, Su Xuanye had done many evil things. From the moment he placed the curse fruit in the Prosperous Capital, he went against all the cultivators in the world.
Even if the old dean was indebted to Su Xuanye, the old dean wouldn’t go easy on him.
Sheng Xiao counted the bones on the ground and found that there were 45 bones on the circle line, but there were 46 sinner wooden tablets. He pointed at a corner of the circle and said, “There’s an additional wooden tablet there.”
Yu Huang walked to the wooden sign and squatted down. She blew away the dust on the wooden sign and softly read out the contents of the wooden sign. “Sinner Su Xuanye.”
After he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the underground palace.
Sheng Xiao frowned. He said with a complicated expression, “Su Xuanye gathered all the Su family members who had eaten the flesh and blood of the Peacock Demon. He wanted their souls to suffer hundreds and thousands of years of torture. He wanted them to apologize to his mother. The last sinner was himself.”
In Su Xuanye’s heart, the one he couldn’t forgive the most was perhaps himself.
At this moment, the old dean heard a faint cry.
The old dean narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark underground palace. He said, “Is there anyone else inside? Why do I hear someone talking?”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao listened carefully. Indeed, they heard someone talking.
Yu Huang followed the voice and realized that the voice came from behind a wall. Yu Huang touched the wall and knocked on it. It was empty.
The old dean said, “Move aside. I’ll do it.”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao moved away silently. The old dean clenched his right fist and punched the indestructible stone wall.
The stone wall instantly shattered into five to six pieces and fell to the ground.
The three of them quickly covered their mouths and noses with their hands.
After a while, Sheng Xiao raised the Night-Luminescent Pearl. Under the dim light, the three of them saw the scene in the secret chamber.
It was actually a wedding room!
On the stone wall of the wedding room, there were two paper cutouts with the word ‘celebrate’ on them. Beside the word, there was an ancient-style red wedding dress. On the stone bed, there was a red wedding blanket with a weak soul body lying on it.
The woman’s soul was locked by the Soul Locking Rope. She couldn’t escape even if she wanted to. She was already extremely weak.
“Senior Su!” Yu Huang recognized Su Tingxue at a glance.
Su Tingxue’s soul was already very faint. She opened her eyes and glanced at Yu Huang. She told Yu Huang weakly, “Su, Su Xuanye has gone crazy!”
Yu Huang quickly walked to Su Tingxue’s side. She bent down and heard Su Tingxue say, “He, he couldn’t find a super demonic creature, so he, he planned to nurture one himself!”
Yu Huang was shocked.
A super demon could be nurtured?
“Senior Su, what is Su Xuanye doing?!”
Su Tingxue revealed a look of fear. She said, “He wants to plant a death curse, form a curse fruit, and raise a death curse!”
Cursed person?
Yu Huang had never heard of such a thing.
She had read many ancient books, but she had never heard of something like a Death Curse.
Su Tingxue glanced at the stone stool beside Yu Huang and said, “You will understand everything after reading that ancient book.”
Sheng Xiao immediately picked up the ancient book and opened it with the old dean.
The words on the ancient book were written in ancient script. The old dean could recognize almost all of them. It was harder for Sheng Xiao to read them.
The old dean snatched the ancient book and quickly read it. After reading it, he closed the ancient book with a gloomy expression and sighed. “I see!”
“Dean, what is Su Xuanye trying to do?!”
The old dean looked at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao in shock. He said, “According to this ancient book, in a world called the Moon Searching Continent, there was once a person who activated the Death Curse and successfully formed the Curse Fruit. He accidentally nurtured a Death Curse Man who was filled with resentment! And this Death Curse Man has resentment power comparable to that of a super monster! Su Xuanye wants to nurture the Death Curse Man and become a Purifying Spirit God!”
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were shocked.
As a Beast Tamer, Su Xuanye had the cultivation level of a Prime Master. As a Purifying Spirit Master, he was also a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master with a high cultivation level. His identity as a Dual Cultivator gave him destructive power that far exceeded that of a Purifying Spirit Master and a Beast Tamer of the same cultivation level.
In the battle at Kui Mountain, Su Xuanye had completely combined the psychic power of a Purifying Spirit Master with the spiritual power of a Beast Tamer and severely injured the Grand State Master, the old dean, Sheng Lingfeng, and Lin Jiansheng.
If he really became a Purifying Spirit God, then he would really be invincible.
She definitely couldn’t let Su Xuanye nurture a Cursed Person!
Yu Huang hurriedly untied the Soul Locking Rope on Su Tingxue’s body. As she untied it, she asked, “Senior Su, do you know where Su Xuanye and the others are hiding?”
After Su Tingxue was freed, she leaned in Yu Huang’s arms and said weakly, “There’s an underground palace two thousand meters underground. The entrance to the underground palace is in a bookstore beside Jing Yi Cafe in Jingdu. Su Xuanye and the others are hiding there.”
“What?!”
After knowing that Su Xuanye and the others were hiding under the Divination Tower, not to mention Yu Huang, even the old dean was shocked.
Who would have thought that Su Xuanye was actually hiding under the Grand State Master’s nose?!
Su Tingxue’s soul was too weak and could dissipate at any time. The old dean took the initiative to take out a Spirit Nurturing Bottle and said, “Put her soul in this bottle to nourish it. It will slowly recover.”
“Okay.”
After putting Su Tingxue into the Spirit Nurturing Bottle, the old dean tore open a spatial rift in the void. He carried Yu Huang in one hand and Sheng Xiao in the other and brought them back to the Divine Moon Empire.

Although the millions of citizens of the Prosperous Capital were saved, the 120 Supreme Masters had fallen forever.
After surviving, the citizens of the Prosperous Capital didn’t cheer.
At this moment, all the citizens who could still walk took the initiative to come to the People’s Square. With the People’s Square as the center, the citizens knelt on the streets and chanted the prayer song.
The Grand State Master lifted the People’s Square from the ground alone.
The square floated in the void, and a wide pit appeared below.
Lu Yubei, Sheng Lingfeng, and the others respectfully placed the corpses of the 120 beast tamers in the deep pit. The Grand State Master walked to the side of the deep pit and took the lead in singing the prayer song.
Seeing this, the other Beast Tamers also lowered their eyes and sang the prayer song.
That ethereal song echoed in the sky of the entire Prosperous Capital.
After singing the prayer song, the Grand State Master took the lead to bow to them. The other Beast Tamers and citizens also stood up and bowed respectfully.
After the burial ceremony was completed, the Grand State Master’s right hand tugged hard in the sky. The People’s Square floating in the sky suddenly fell to the ground and pressed the bodies of the 120 Supreme Masters under the square.
Hearing that loud bang, the citizens suddenly hugged their heads and cried.
The Grand State Master closed his eyes and hid the sorrow in them.
At this moment, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in the sky.
The Grand State Master opened his eyes warily and stared at the crack while preparing to fight. Unexpectedly, the person who ran out of the crack was Di Ruofeng.
Seeing that it was one of them, the Grand State Master immediately relaxed.
Di Ruofeng carried Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao and landed in front of the Grand State Master. He said, “Su Xuanye activated the Death Curse to nurture the Death Curse Man. Grand State Master, we have to investigate immediately and see if there is a Death Curse Man in the city!”
The Grand State Master’s expression darkened slightly as he asked, “What is a Death Curse Man?”
Di Ruofeng hurriedly handed the ancient book to the Grand State Master.
The Grand State Master quickly browsed through the contents of the ancient book. He suddenly closed the book and turned to the Purifying Spirit Academy’s Purifying Spirit Masters. “Everyone, immediately activate your psychic powers and search for anyone with resentment! After you find them, don’t let anyone off. Bring them all for review!”
“Yes!”
After Lin Jiansheng became the President of the Purifying Spirit Academy, the President of the Purifying Spirit Academy branch in the Prosperous Capital changed. He was also a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master. He was also a Purifying Spirit Master that Lin Jiansheng had nurtured himself.
This Purifying Spirit Venerable’s name was Xu Zi’an.
Xu Zi’an’s psychic power spread out completely and instantly enveloped the entire Divine Moon Empire.
His psychic power extended countless tentacles that extended to every building and every sewer. Those tentacles were like radar that searched the world for the cursed people with resentment.
