Li Yue sheathed her sword and said calmly: "No reason, just to have an enemy to fight, or to have a target to chase in the future."
After looking at her deeply for a long time, Su Yu clasped his fists and said, "I will remember today's kindness and I will repay it in the future."
With a faint smile, Li Yue turned around and walked down to the tomb.
Before leaving, he turned around and asked, "Can you tell me how you did it?"
She pointed to the jade monument.
She came here, but she couldn't solve the doubts in her heart. Even fellow practitioners of the Eight Paths couldn't absorb so many droplets.
Su Yu said: "I'm afraid not."
Li Yue smiled lightly: "You will know sooner or later."
Watching her beautiful figure go away, Su Yu also returned to Xue Mansion.
The atmosphere in the mansion was depressing and heavy.
The problem is no longer that Xue Lei defected, but that Xue Lei destroyed all the Starlight Grass!
After Su Yu came back, the expressions of many elders did not improve much. Xue Yuntian glanced at Su Yu and did not hold him responsible for escaping from the Xue family. Instead, he had a trace of doubt.
He could obviously take advantage of the situation and escape from the Xue family.
"Clan leader, in four months, Jianxuan's envoys will come to collect the Starlight Grass. If we cannot hand over the Starlight Grass and cannot complete this year's mission, the consequences... we may lose our foothold in the Jianxuan sea area.
If you are not qualified, you will be expelled!" Elder Gushan looked extremely ugly.
Xue Yuntian also looked solemnly: "The plan for now is to get a hundred Starlight Grasses as soon as possible! Lord Baiyun, how many more are there in the treasure house?"
Elder Baiyun looked calm and said: "There are only ten plants!"
Ten plants are used as supplements just in case the Starlight Grass found is insufficient.
Starlight Grass is very precious. It grows on the seabed of Jianxuan Sea Area. Not only is it difficult to find, but each plant is guarded by star beasts no less than those from the second heaven, some with several guardians.
Therefore, none of them come easily.
The magical power is as vast as the Star Pavilion, and the annual storage capacity is only a few hundred plants.
Various forces come to buy, and the quantity is strictly limited, so it is very difficult to buy more.
The face of Gushan Elder was gloomy: "Replenish it? How to make it up? One or two plants occasionally appear on Double Star Island every year, and those that can be looted are taken away by the Xue and Li clans. The same is true for other forces. They don't have enough for themselves, let alone sell them.
Give us."
"As for the Xingchen Pavilion, let alone whether they will make an exception and sell it to us a second time. Just the journey alone, going back and forth, will take at least half a year, and there is no time at all!"
The faces of all the elders were extremely gloomy. The Xue family has reached a moment of life and death.
Su Yu listened and understood clearly.
Jianxuan is the overlord of a sea area. Any force that settles in Jianxuan's territory must submit to it and provide one hundred Starlight Grasses every year.
If you fail to meet the supply requirements, you will be evicted from the site immediately.
In the past, there was an island force that ranked fifth, only three plants away, but it was also driven away by Jianxuan with cruel means.
The Xue family's ranking is not as good as that island, and there are only ten Starlight Grasses in hand!
Most of the island forces spent almost most of their human resources on searching for Starlight Grass for a whole year.
Only well-established families like the Xue family and the Li family have the financial resources to purchase directly from Xingchen Pavilion.
Now that an accident has occurred in the Xue family and the deadline for paying tribute is approaching, how can they not worry about gray hair?
After hearing this, Xue Yuntian sighed deeply: "Give me the order, take the elder as the leader, and each lead a group of tribesmen to go to Xingxiu Sea to look for Starlight Grass!"
The Xue family has no choice but to use the stupidest and most dangerous method to mobilize the whole family to find the Starlight Grass!
Su Yu said: "I will also go to sea. I have practiced a way of searching for gods, and I have a very special sense of the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth."
Hearing this, the eyes of many elders suddenly lit up.
Is there such a strange divine way? If it is true, searching for the Starlight Grass will get twice the result with half the effort.
Xue Yuntian also had a look of surprise on his face, but when he realized Su Yu's true identity, his eyes were filled with deep complexity, and he said coldly: "You stay in the clan, there are dangers outside, so as not to endanger your safety."
Several elders then thought about it and realized that Xue Yu is the future of the Xue family.
To put it ten thousand steps back, the Xue family was really expelled, but with young people like Xue Yu growing up, how could they not make a comeback?
The elder of Gushan said earnestly and thoughtfully: "Yes, Xue Yu, we will use the strength of the whole clan. If you are more, it is not more, and if you are less, it is not more. You will be in the clan."
Speaking of this, Su Yu could only give up.
Soon, the thirty elders in the clan led thousands of people in the clan to disperse in a mighty manner and headed for the most famous dangerous place in the Xingxiu Sea, the Evil Ghost Strait.
That's where the most star grass is found, but it's also the most dangerous place.
If there is any place where it is possible to excavate ninety Starlight Grasses within four months, the only place is Devil Strait.
Looking up at their departing figures, Su Yu silently entered the practice room and meditated on the remaining thousand divine ways in seclusion.
Time flies by.
Two months later, Su Yu finally succeeded in comprehending a divine way by using the remaining energy from his last spiritual liquid tempering.
There are only nine hundred and ninety-nine left.
Woo——
A sad, heavy and long horn sound echoed in Xue Mansion.
Su Yu sighed silently and carved another mark on the ground in front of him.
Including the ones carved before, there are ten.
These are all the elders who fell in the past two months.
A blast of a horn indicates that an elder is in danger.
As for the tribesmen with slightly weaker cultivation, the casualties cannot be counted.
The entire Xue family was filled with an atmosphere of sadness and despair.
"Clan leader, why don't you ask Brother Xue Yu to take action?"
His divine way is helpful to everyone. If we ask him to help, grandpa may not have to venture into the depths of the strait, and he will not die at the mouth of the star beast!"
"Yes, brother Xue Yu has created miracles time and time again, why not let him take action?" Xue Ruxu also asked after losing a close relative.
Facing the questioning from the tribesmen, Xue Yuntian felt slight fluctuations in his heart.
Yes, Xue Yu obviously has an extraordinary background. If he takes action, he might really be able to help them.
But out of fear, or in other words, out of anger, he shook his head decisively: "There is no need to discuss this matter! News came from the front, Gushan Changzun and others joined forces and discovered an undeveloped land with no less than fifty starlight trees.
Damn it! They can do it, they can definitely do it!"
The Devil's Strait is bottomless and dark, like a gaping mouth, waiting for greedy creatures gathering Starlight Grass to be fed into it.
Twenty elders including the Gushan Elder, the Maple Leaf Elder, and the Xuanqing Elder gathered together, with nearly 700 clan members behind them.
They gathered together and looked at a seabed covered with bones.
Among the bones, there are starlight grasses emitting golden light everywhere.
"There are a total of fifty-three Starlight Grasses. If we can succeed this time, plus the twenty we were looking for before, we are not far away from completing the mission!" Gushan Elder said: "According to our half-month observation, in that area, there are a total of
There are ten star beasts!”
Ten! Everyone’s hearts shrank. This was the largest group of star beasts they had ever encountered.
Next, there will be a bloody battle!
"Don't be afraid, as long as we follow our previous division of labor, we will be able to wipe them all out!" Gushan Changzun said.
Everyone mustered up their courage and nodded deeply.
When a ray of clear light penetrated the sea and illuminated this place, Gushan Elder said: "Now is the time when the star beast is sleeping, and it is the best time to take action. Everyone, whether you succeed or not, we will fight here!"
Boo hoo hoo——
Seven hundred tribesmen, led by twenty elders of the Xue family, rushed forward to kill them.
Such a powerful aura awakened some star beasts.
The ferocious beast, with its powerful cultivation, swallowed up dozens of tribesmen in an instant!
Screams, accompanied by blood, filled the Devil Strait.
The blood woke up more sleeping star beasts, and they rushed out with roars.
The elder of Gushan was furious: "Kill! The survival of the Xue family depends entirely on us!!"
Both sides fought bloody battles.
The Xue family members were eaten in pieces, the sound of their bodies being chewed to pieces, and the tragic screams intertwined into a tragic scene.
The bloody battle lasted for a full day and night.
When the huge bodies of the ten ferocious beasts fell to the ground, the remaining Xue family members smiled in victory.
Even though their limbs were broken, even though they were exhausted, even though they had less than a hundred people left... they won.
The Xue family is saved!
"Chief Gushan, we won!" Elder Qingshan said with a smile, but his old eyes were filled with tears of grief.
Because lying at his feet was his only son.
"Yes, we won!" Gushan Elder also laughed, crying and laughing, his expression was indescribably desolate.
Of the twenty elders, only nine are left, and of the seven hundred clan members, only ninety are left.
A heavy price was paid in exchange for the final victory.
"Collect it, take it back, and give it to the clan leader!" Gushan Elder wiped away his tears. He was covered in blood and fell to the ground exhausted.
ah--
The shrill scream suddenly broke the dead silence on the bottom of the sea.
I saw three tribesmen who were collecting Starlight Grass when they were suddenly entangled by outstretched tentacles under the corpses on the ground.
Those tentacles devoured their flesh and blood in an instant, leaving only white bones.
An extremely violent aura rose into the sky from under the sea bed.
The entire seabed trembled, no, moved.
Roar--
A beast's roar shook them all off the seabed.
Looking from a high altitude, everyone took a breath of cold air.
Where is the seabed? It is clearly a huge snake head!
The snake's head is covered with tentacles, and it uses starlight grass to attract unsuspecting people to collect it, and then devours them!
As for the giant snake, only its head was exposed, and its huge body was hidden under the dark canyon!
Gushan Changzun's pupils shrank to a needle, his whole body trembled, and he shouted: "Run away! It's the Star Beast King!!"
Star Beast King, a legendary existence!
Each one has the terrifying power to compete with a super power like Jianxuan!!
Boo hoo hoo——
Tentacles shot out suddenly, wrapping around dozens of tribesmen and sucking them into bones in an instant.
The three elders are no exception.
The Elder of Gushan roared, exerted his powerful divine power, and condensed into a huge barrier. He roared tragically: "Run away! Tell the clan leader not to send any more people..."
boom--
The barrier did not last long before the tentacles broke through it and entangled the Gushan Elder.
His whole body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Exhausting his last bit of strength, Gushan Elder let out his last sad roar: "Quickly...run away!!"
"The Elder of Gushan!!" Everyone roared in grief and anger, watching helplessly as the Elder of Gushan turned into bones.
They fled across the strait.
The giant snake's cold eyes stared at them coldly, and did not pursue them. Instead, they continued to pretend, and continued to lure unsuspecting creatures to come.
Xue family, in the secret room.
Click——
Su Yu shook his finger, shattering the ground with several cracks, and his heart was filled with waves.
"Almost... completely destroyed..." Su Yu's pupils shrank sharply, he stood up and pushed open the stone door: "We can't wait any longer!"
He promised that he would take good care of the Xue family!
The stone door opened, and a ray of sunshine that had not been seen for a long time shone on Su Yu's face, making it look cold and cold.
