1597 The 1600th chapter, the envoy arrived
Above the Xue clan, the horns were like a song, unending.
The clansmen listened to the horns one after another in shock, unable to believe that everything was real.
The 14 horns in succession indicated the fall of the 14 elders.
It was even more than the entire three months of sacrifice!
After careful calculation, of the 30 elders that had gone, only six were still alive!
The people of the Xue family were stunned. They could not accept such a heavy blow.
In the hall of the Xue family, an emergency meeting was held as expected.
The corners of Xue Yuntian’s eyes were red and swollen. There were still tears that had yet to die.
They were almost all wiped out!
He knew what it meant. It meant that the entire Xue family was heading towards decline.
The older generation had collectively fallen. How could they still be able to stand on Double Star Island?
The accident had pushed the Xue family into the abyss overnight!
The hall was filled with tears.
Whether it was the teenagers who had lost their elders, the middle-aged men who had lost their loved ones, or the elders who had caught up with the decline of the Xue family.
The entire hall was filled with deep sorrow.
“Patriarch! Perhaps we should have accepted our fate and left the Jian Xuan Sea area. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have fallen to this State!”Someone wailed.
“Hehehe, what’s the use of finding the starlight grass in the current Xue Family? The Li family can wipe us out easily! I really hate that bastard Xue Lei for causing the Xue family to be in such a miserable state!”
“Patriarch, Let’s retreat. Before the Li family can react, let’s Save Our Strength and find a new place to recuperate.”
..
Heart-wrenching cries and silent pleas pierced into his heart like sharp knives.
The Xue Clan had not fallen into the hands of his generation. He could not rest in peace!
He also wanted to preserve the remaining strength of the Xue clan and make a comeback.
However, how could a territory be so easy to find?
A good territory had long been occupied by the various major powers. After the Xue Clan left Twin Star Island, they might not be able to find a suitable territory. The remaining clansmen would fall into a pool of blood while searching for a new territory.
The future of the Xue family was bleak!
“Patriarch, you make the decision!”Some clansmen said sorrowfully.
Xue Yuntian raised his head to the sky and let out a long sigh, but he could not make up his mind.
“Patriarch! Why didn’t you invite brother Xue Yu out of the mountain?”Xue Mei questioned, she stared at Xue Yuntian with some resentment. “If, if you could listen to the opinions of your clansmen and be less headstrong, you could have invited brother Xue Yu out of the mountain earlier. The honorable elders of the Lone Mountain, the honorable elders of the Green Mountain, and my grandfather, Honorable Elder Baiyun, and the others might not have died!”
“That’s right, clan head, what exactly are you thinking? You clearly need brother Xue Yu to attain the Divine Dao, yet you’re restricting his freedom? Why exactly is that?”
Xue Yuntian felt bitter in his heart. Why else could it be? He might as well think about the safety of the clan?
But in the end?
Xue Yu did not harm anyone in the Xue clan. Instead, it was his stubbornness and obstinacy that caused the deaths of nearly all the honorable elders!
Who was the one who harmed the Xue Family?
No matter how one looked at it, it was Xue Yuntian and not Xue Yu!
Some of the older generation seemed to have caught a glimmer of hope as they said, “That’s right, clan leader, why don’t you invite Xue Yu out of the mountain? With his mysterious master’s status, wouldn’t it be easy for him to protect our Xue Family?”
Hearing this, everyone seemed to see hope.
“I almost forgot that Xue Yu has an extremely powerful master!”
“Clan leader, quickly give the order to have Xue Yu come out of the mountain!”
Xue Yuntian was silent, and his eyes revealed hesitation.
“What are you still hesitating for? The Xue Clan is already at a critical juncture of life and death, what, what is in your head?”
Xue Yuntian felt bitter in his heart. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to give the order, but, would Xue Yu still listen to orders?
He asked himself, if he was imprisoned for half a year and did not have any resentment towards the captives, it was already him being magnanimous.
Asking him to help the captives was like dreaming in spring and autumn!
It was really difficult for him to say it, but facing the surging clansmen, he could only say bitterly, “Pass the order, ask Xue Yu to come out!”
Clang --
At this moment, several servants ran over in panic and said, “Not good! Second Young Master, he, he broke out of seclusion and headed straight for the Evil Ghost Strait!”
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
“You mean, he headed straight for the Evil Ghost Strait? That’s great! He must have the confidence to turn the situation around!”
“Really? I knew that brother Xue Yu would definitely step up when the family was in a difficult situation!”
The Xue family members were overjoyed and barely managed to walk out of their grief.
Only Xue Yuntian sat stiffly on the spot. His eyes were in a daze, and a complicated expression filled his face until it finally turned into a soft sigh.
Su Yu traveled with the Moon and stars and headed straight for the Evil Ghost Strait.
Three days later, when they were ten billion kilometers away from the evil Ghost Strait, they met the people of the Xue family who had escaped.
The six elders who were in a sorry state and the twenty-three clan members who were incomplete were the complete opposite of the majestic scene when they had gone.
They were also extremely shocked when they met Su Yu by chance, but they were more angry and ashamed.
“Elders, what happened?”Su Yu asked.
Elder Qing Liu said, “It’s the star Beast King!”
From his words, it was not hard to see his remaining fear.
Star Beast King? Su Yu’s gaze slightly focused. He had not been idle for half a year, so he had more or less understood star beasts.
Star Beast was the collective name of a sector lord from level five to level one.
But Star Beast King was the title of an overlord of the galaxy!
No wonder they were almost wiped out in an instant. It turned out that they had encountered such an existence!
“Everyone, please follow me back to the Evil Ghost Straits!”Su Yu said.
Return? They, who had yet to recover from their shock, revealed extremely terrified expressions.
“Could it be that Lone Mountain’s senior and the others died in vain just like that?”Su Yu looked at them. “I can’t promise that I can get rid of star Beast King now and take revenge for them. But at least, I won’t let them down and the sacrifice of my clansmen!”
Hearing this, everyone was touched.
They had indeed sacrificed tragically.
Especially Lone Mountain’s elders. At the last moment, they used their own strength to block the star Beast King and used their own blood to open a path for them to live.
Su Yu’s words touched their hearts.
Green Leaf’s elders clenched their fists and said, “Alright! I’ll go back with you! For the clan, for the starlight grass, we’ve sacrificed so much. If we retreat now, will we be worthy of them?”
Hearing this, senior Qing Ye and his clansmen chose to go back.
“How many starlight grass have you gathered now?”Su Yu asked.
“Twenty. There are still seventy more to reach the target of ninety!”
Seventy? Su Yu’s eyes lit up. “If that’s the case, we still need to pay attention to the starlight grass of the star Beast King!”
“Wait on the water. I have two orders for you.”Su Yu said, “First, clear the surrounding waters. Don’t let anyone get close! Second, prepare the flying boat. We need to reach a state where we can escape immediately!”
“Okay!”Everyone listened to the arrangements.
Su Yu charged into the waters alone and went deep into the evil Ghost Strait.
According to the coordinates provided by the Green Leaf Elder and the others, they indeed saw a sea bed beside the cliff in the depths of the strait.
Fifty stalks of starlight grass gave off a golden light, luring those who did not know to approach.
Su Yu’s eyes revealed a cold expression. With a thought, a thousand and one divine images appeared with him at the center.
“Go!”Su Yu said.
1,001 divine images immediately pounced down.
Such a huge commotion immediately woke up the star Beast King!
The seabed churned, and a huge snake head that was similar in color to the pitch-black strait suddenly rose up.
Two huge eyes that were like the sun slowly looked over!
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of poison that corroded a large number of divine images.
However, there were as many dharma idols as there were hairs on a cow’s head.
One group was exterminated, while another group pounced over.
Their goal was not to attack it, but to pluck the starlight grass above its head.
Pop --
The first starlight grass was uprooted.
The huge snake roared in anger and shook its huge head violently, smashing another group of Dharma Idols.
However, more and more dharma idols pounced over and plucked the starlight grass.
The two sides were in a stalemate for ten breaths, with less than 100 of the 1,001 divinities remaining.
But all 53 stalks of starlight were uprooted!
Not knowing if it was pain or humiliation, the serpent roared and crushed the remaining 100 Shinto pieces in a frenzy.
Su Yu got starlight grass, coldly stared at the giant snake, said: “Blood account first note, sooner or later take off your snake head, worship them!”
Xiu --
Stepping on the water, Su Yu rushed out of the channel.
On the surface of the water, the six elders had already prepared the spaceship according to Su Yu’s instructions.
The six elders poured their divine power into the spaceship at the same time and pushed it to the maximum.
“Go!”Su Yu jumped onto the spaceship and shouted.
Chirp --
The sound of the sound barrier breaking resounded on the surface of the sea. The spaceship created endless waves and left several afterimages to escape.
Almost at the instant they left, a gigantic snake head rushed out from the water.
Its pair of blood-red eyes were filled with extreme ruthlessness.
At the same time, the water was pitch-black, covering an area of tens of millions of miles. One could vaguely see that it was a gigantic snake body that was wriggling.
It looked around angrily, but the spaceship was nowhere to be seen.
In its fury, it roared violently. Its gigantic body slammed against the surface of the sea, causing a huge tsunami that covered an area of billions of miles.
Sensing the terrifying heaven and earth phenomenon behind them, the hearts of the six elders trembled. They turned their heads to look, and all of them sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Xue Yu, what did you do?”Senior Qing ye said in shock, “You actually provoked it to such an extent!”
Su Yu opened his palm, and a brilliant golden light enveloped the entire spaceship. He said indifferently, “It’s nothing. I just took back the starlight grass that belongs to Senior Qing Shan and the others!”
Looking at the 50 or so starlight grass, everyone had mixed feelings.
Senior Qing Ye’s old eyes were filled with tears as he knelt down towards them.
Everyone on the ship cried on the spot.
It was for these 53 starlight grass that senior Gu Shan and the others sacrificed themselves!
Su Yu said, “Cheer up. The rise and fall of the family will all fall on you guys.”
The green leaf senior master wiped his tears and said with determination in his eyes, “We are still short of seventeen plants of Starlight. My fellow clansmen, for the final sprint, we will go all out. Even if we all die, we must find the last seventeen plants of Starlight! !”
“We will go all out!”Having experienced despair, they were much more determined than before and had the courage to face death.
The news of this place was immediately sent back to the family.
At this moment, the important core members of the Xue Clan had already treated the main hall of the clan as a place to rest and live.
Whether it was to discuss, gather, pass on information, or rest, they were all here.
This included Xue Yuntian, who slept inappropriately and stayed in the main hall to deal with the various problems that followed.
At this moment, a piece of news was sent over, and Xue Yuntian immediately flipped through it.
After reading it, he was ecstatic. He slapped the table and stood up. “Xue Yu has succeeded! He has gathered all the starlight grass on the star Beast King’s Head!”
What? Many clansmen gathered around and fought to flip through the information in the jade slip.
“Oh my God! It’s really true! He really did it!”
“Hiss! More than 50 stalks in one go. Adding the ones that he collected in two months, it’s almost enough!”
However, there was also someone whose expression was still gloomy as he asked, “How many of our clansmen have been sacrificed?”
The starlight grass that they had gathered previously, every single one of them had been accompanied by the deaths of many of their clansmen.
They had risked their lives to return to the evil Ghost Strait and fought against the star Beast King. Those casualties... perhaps they had really all been wiped out?
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions became gloomy at the same time.
Until the second jade slip came back.
Xue Yuntian looked through it nervously, his whole body couldn’t help but tremble as he said, “No!”
“What do you mean no?”Everyone was puzzled.
Xue Yuntian’s voice trembled, it was unknown whether it was shock or disbelief, “No... one person was injured or killed! !”
The scene was silent for a moment, and then erupted with an earth-shaking roar.
“No injuries or deaths, and he seized the starlight grass on the star Beast King’s Head?”
“Hiss! How is that possible?”
“That’s great, brother Xue Yu can do it. I’ve said it before, he can definitely do it...”tears rolled down Xue Mei’s pretty face as she looked at the clan leader with a complicated expression.
If Xue Yu had been sent to the battlefield from the start, would there still be the sacrifice of the Lone Mountain’s elders?
Some of the clan members came to their senses and looked towards Xue Yuntian.
They did not complain, nor did they blame him. However, in Xue Yuntian’s eyes, they were like sharp arrows, piercing through his soul and riddling it with holes.
Indeed, if he had listened to everyone’s opinions from the start, if he had allowed Xue Yu’s request from the start, perhaps the outcome would not have been like this.
He sat down dejectedly and looked at his clansmen, who did not have a bright future ahead of them.
Deep in his heart, he felt a deep sense of regret.
Ever since Xue Yu returned, how much glory had he brought to the Xue family, and how much hope had he brought back?
However, he had arbitrarily placed Xue Yu under house arrest because of a faint resentment, even though he knew in his heart that Su Yu would never actually harm the Xue clan.
What was the result of doing this? It was that the Xue Clan had suffered an unprecedented destruction!
He was the sinner of the Clan!
Su Yu, who did not know about this, led the Xue clan members to search for the starlight grass on the sea of constellations.
With the search for the Supreme Dao, it played a significant role.
When a month passed, they found another twelve starlight grass. There were only five grass left from the number 90!
What was rare and valuable was that no one was injured or killed after obtaining each one!
The good news was passed back to the Xue family one after another. The sorrowful atmosphere faded bit by bit, and they found hope again.
The Xue family members who followed Su Yu also recovered from their sadness.
“Xue Yu, there are still five plants left. According to our progress, we have one month left. We have plenty of time,”the green leaf senior said. “Take a break. You haven’t taken a break for a month.”
Su Yu’s Haggard expression could not be erased, but he firmly shook his head. “Continue to search. Don’t Stop! Unless you put all ninety plants of starlight into the Treasury in the mansion, you must not let your guard down.”
The green leaf senior honored master was deeply moved and said, “Alright...”
Di Di di --
Suddenly, the communication jade pendant on the green leaf senior honored master’s waist let out an urgent sound.
The green leaf senior honored master smiled and said, “It must be the clan leader who sent another message of commendation.”
Unexpectedly, when he opened it, it was Xue Yuntian’s extremely solemn order. “Put down the search mission in your hands and return to the clan immediately. The special envoy of the Sword Pavilion has arrived ahead of schedule!”
Ba Da --
The green leaf elder’s palm trembled and the jade pendant fell into the sea.
Su Yu was shocked. The envoy had come a month earlier?
It was illogical!
If he had to explain, the only person Su Yu could think of was the Li family!
The Li family could not have been unaware of such a huge situation that had occurred in the Xue family. It was in the best interests of the Li family to strike while the iron was hot and completely expel the Xue family!
However, there were still five more to go before the 100 stalks!
“I’ll stay behind to continue the search. Senior Green Leaf, bring the starlight grass back as soon as possible!”Su Yu said. The only thing he could do now was to try his luck.
If he could find the five stalks in time, he might still be able to save them.
If he couldn’t... all his previous efforts would be in vain!
A large chapter would be updated in the morning.
