Looking at the smiling young man across from him, the owner of Xiangyun Tower couldn't calm down.
His chest rose and fell, as if he was suppressing the turbulent emotions inside him.
After a while, he sat back on his seat, picked up the wine jar, and drank a big gulp.
Then, he took a long breath and murmured: "That's right. Only you, Old Freak Su, know in this world that there is a cage in my Taoist heart. I have been trapped in it for a long time and cannot break free..."
As he said that, he looked at Su Yi again and said with a complex expression: "Five hundred years ago, when the news of your death came to the world, I was ecstatic about it and got drunk. Who would have thought that you, Mr. Su, would just...
not dead……"
Su Yi smiled and said calmly: "Even if I die, with your talents, you still can't break the barriers in Tao's heart. In the end, you still have to beg me."
The old man in front of me is named "Shang Tianque". He comes from the Demon Ape Clan and has the title of "Blood Slaughter Spirit Emperor".
But Su Yi is more accustomed to calling the other party "Old Butcher".
Tens of thousands of years ago, Shang Tianque was already an old guy who had been traversing the depths of the Sea of Bitterness for many years. He had a surly and cruel temperament and was one of the "Seven Demons of the Sea of Bitterness".
Until he met Su Yi, who had gone to the depths of the sea of suffering, Shang Tianque was completely in trouble.
At that time, Shang Tianque regarded Su Yi as a fat sheep, offered a non-existent opportunity as bait, and actively invited Su Yi to cooperate to explore the opportunity.
Su Yi readily agreed.
In the end, at an ambush location carefully prepared by Shang Tianque, Su Yi backhandedly robbed Shang Tianque...
This is how he met the old butcher.
"Please?"
The old butcher was silent for a moment, and then he sighed softly, "Yes, although I hope that you, Old Monster Su, will die, I also know that if you die, I am afraid that I will never be able to break the cage in Tao's heart again in this life."
At that time, after he was defeated miserably at the hands of Su Yi with his Dao Xing in the middle stage of Xuanyou Realm, a lingering shadow appeared in Dao's heart.
This also resulted in his cultivation being unable to make any progress in more than 36,000 years!
He has tried to break this shadow more than once, but in the end he failed to do so.
It was not until later that the old butcher finally understood that the person who tied the bell had to be the one to untie the bell, unless Master Xuanjun took the initiative to help.
Otherwise, his life's conduct will be trapped in this shadow, with no hope of going any further!
“Hate me?”
Su Yi asked.
The old butcher's expression flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Hate!!"
Su Yi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't worry, I promised you that I would give you your freedom sooner or later, and I will never break my promise."
The old butcher snorted coldly: "If I didn't know that you, Old Weird Su, are true to your words, how could I have spent tens of thousands of years here? How could I have been waiting eagerly for you, Old Weird Su, to come see me?"
That voice was filled with unconcealable resentment.
Su Yi picked up the wine pot, poured himself a glass, and said, "Okay, I've finished venting my complaints. It's time to talk about business."
The old butcher said angrily: "I haven't vented yet! It's been thirty-six thousand years, do you know how I have lived? I..."
Su Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Huh?"
The old butcher was at a loss for words, and his expression fluctuated for a while. Finally, he suppressed his complaints and snorted coldly: "Tell me, what are we talking about?"
Su Yi thought: "You just saw that the Ghost Snake Clan is experiencing some turmoil..."
Before Su Yi could finish speaking, the old butcher had already said: "I only promised to secretly guard Yuluo Linghuang, and you also said that I would not be allowed to get involved in the Ghost Snake Clan's affairs. What I did tonight can be
Can’t fault anything.”
These words,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
As if he was afraid that Su Yi would find fault in this matter, he explained it first.
This shows how great the inner shadow Su Yi left on the old butcher was...
Su Yi smiled and said, "I didn't say you did anything wrong."
The old butcher was obviously more relaxed, and his cold expression softened a lot, and he said: "Then I'll be relieved."
“To make a long story short, I need a helper to calm down the turmoil among the Ghost Snake Clan.”
Su Yi looked at the old butcher and asked, "Are you willing to help?"
The old butcher muttered: "You, Old Monster Su, have spoken, how dare I not help you?"
Immediately, he seemed to realize something. He looked at Su Yi and said, "With your own methods, you can easily defeat the entire Ghost Snake Clan. How come you suddenly need my help? Could it be that..."
Su Yi nodded calmly and said, "As you can see, I am only at the Spiritual Wheel Realm now, which is far from what I could be compared to my previous life."
"Is it……"
The old butcher's eyes flashed and he said, "Doesn't this mean...that I can kill you, Mr. Su, with just a move of my fingers?"
The atmosphere became subtly dull.
Su Yi carried the wine bottle and poured himself a glass. Then he played with the wine glass and said calmly: "Why don't you dare to try it?"
The old butcher hesitated, his thin cheeks flickering.
In the face of any spiritual monk, in the face of an extremely horrible old monster, he was afraid that he had been trembling and frightened.
But Su Yi didn’t.
His expression, behavior, and even the subtle look in his eyes have not changed in any way.
On the contrary, there was a hint of thick disdain on his lips, as if he was provocative.
The old butcher took a deep breath and sneered: "Back in the depths of the sea of suffering, you pretended to be weak and made me think I had met a big fat sheep. In the end, I was killed by a black-hearted guy like you.
I was robbed, and not only did I lose all my treasures, but I was also beaten by you so much that I felt a shadow in my mood, which I haven't gotten rid of yet!"
After a pause, he said word by word: "Do you think...I will still be fooled by you now?"
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and took a long sip.
Su Yi said calmly: "I really only have the spiritual wheel realm cultivation level now, otherwise, I wouldn't come to you for help."
The old butcher laughed and said: "Your Spirit Wheel Realm, Su Xuanjun, is probably more powerful than the Imperial Realm in this world! I, Shang Tianque, will never do such a stupid thing, knowingly seeking death!"
Su Yi said softly: "When the turmoil with the Ghost Snake Clan is resolved, I will help you resolve the shadow in Tao's heart and give you your freedom."
As soon as these words came out, the old butcher fell silent.
Under the shadow of the lamp, his thin cheeks were changing, seeming excited, joyful, expecting, and disbelieving.
for a long time.
He stared down at the wine glass and said, "Okay!"
Picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The depression that had been suppressed for 36,000 years was finally relieved at this moment!
…
The same night.
Ghost Snake Clan.
In a brightly lit ancient palace.
Ye Donghe sat there, his face gloomy and cold, and said: "So, you really handed over the ancestral jade seal to an outsider for safekeeping?"
He was dressed in ancient clothes, with frost-white temples and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle.
As the third elder of the Ghost Snake Clan, Ye Donghe has the Dzogchen cultivation level of the Xuanzhao Realm, and is only one chance away from entering the Xuanyou Realm.
"good."
Sitting on a seat on one side of the main hall, Ye Tianqu nodded calmly.
Not long after he returned to the Ghost Snake Clan, before he could inquire about the news from the main tribe, he received an order saying that the Third Elder Taishang wanted him to go and see him.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
So, there was a scene that was staged at this time.
During the conversation, Ye Tianqu had stated that the ancestral jade seal was not with him, but had been given to a friend for safekeeping.
Others, not much is said.
boom!
Ye Donghe slapped the document hard and said sternly: "Ye Tianqu, you are too courageous! The ancestral jade seal is a valuable treasure of our Ghost Snake Clan, how can we just hand it over to others for safekeeping?"
The sound shook the hall, and the terrifying power surged like a surging tide.
Ye Tianqu's pressure increased suddenly, and he felt like he was suffocating.
But he was not afraid and said calmly: "Ancestor Ye Yu is just trapped in Youdu, and the Supreme Elder has also gone to Youdu to inquire about the situation. I don't think it is necessary to elect a new clan leader now."
Ye Donghe's face became colder and colder, and he said: "I just want to ask you, whose hand is the ancestral jade seal now? Where is the outsider now?"
Ye Tianqu took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "No comment!"
He turned around and was about to leave.
Ye Donghe said with a faint look in his eyes: "You are not allowed to leave today until I make it clear!"
Boom!
About the main hall, forbidden formations emerged, sealing the main entrance.
Ye Tianqu’s expression suddenly changed.
Immediately, he regained his composure and said: "Now, the old people in the main line know that I came to see you. If something unexpected happens to me, it will be difficult for you to deal with me, right?"
Ye Donghe said indifferently: "Privately handing over the ancestral jade seal to an outsider is against the clan rules. I am just going to imprison you. Who dares to say that I have done something wrong?"
Ye Tianqu sighed secretly in his heart. When he entered Tianya City, Su Yi's reminder was like a prophet of uncertainty.
It is true that cannibalism is prohibited in the Ghost Snake Clan.
But if you want to deal with Ye Tianqu, you just need to find a reason to imprison him!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Tianqu said categorically: "Even if you imprison me, I will not reveal the whereabouts of the ancestral jade seal."
Ye Donghe snorted coldly and said: "If you don't say anything, someone will say, come and put Ye Tianqu in the dungeon!!"
Ye Tianqu was shocked in his heart and finally his expression changed.
He was not worried about his own situation, but worried about Tu Yong and Ye Boheng leaking the news related to the ancestral jade seal!
That night.
The story that Ye Tianqu handed over the ancestral jade seal to outsiders for safekeeping without authorization and was imprisoned in a dungeon by the Third Elder Taishang spread throughout the Ghost Snake Clan, causing an uproar.
As for Tu Yong and Ye Boheng, they were taken away directly by the three elders as soon as they learned the news.
“Don’t be afraid, kid, I’m just searching for souls. When I find the answer, I will let you go.”
Ye Donghe looked gentle and kind, looking at Ye Boheng.
Ye Boheng's face turned pale and he said with a trembling voice: "Ancestor, I..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a painful groan and lost consciousness.
After half a ring.
Ye Donghe put away his thoughts and frowned little by little, Su Yi? Xiangyun Tower?
In Ye Boheng's memory, there is no other news related to Su Yi.
The reason is very simple. When he was on the Yunlou treasure ship, after the appearance of Xiang Tian, a woman in black skirt, he fell into a coma and had no idea what happened next.
This also made Ye Donghe only know that the young man in green robe was named Su Yi. After entering Tianya City, he went straight to Xiangyun Tower!
"The boss of Xiangyun Tower is not a simple person..."
Ye Donghe looked uncertain.
Suddenly, he looked at Tu Yong on the other side and said, "Later, I need you to go to Xiangyun Tower to do something."
