Chapter 2136: Full Resurrection (3)
After one last indifferent glance at Su Yu, a dao manifested under Xing Yue. With one step, she entered the time dao. Right before leaving, she turned to look at Su Yu again. "You're very talented, but you might not be better than some people. Tread lightly in your coming days."
Then, she vanished into the hole, leaving ripples of power behind her.
Tread lightly?
Su Yu curled his lips. Sure enough, women were cold. Just moments ago, she was acting as though she couldn't bear to part with him. In the blink of an eye, she had changed.
Su Yu smiled. So be it.
This wasn't a bad thing.
The debt between them was no more.
***
Inside the River of Time.
A powerful burst of life power erupted. Xing Yue could see that she could break through the seal blocking the way if she wished to.
Suddenly, she frowned.
Breaking the seal?
She could return to being a Master of Law with the seal gone, but it might cause a chain reaction. All the Venerables could also take this chance to advance into the next realm.
She hesitated and looked back at the hole in the distance. She snorted, "Bastard!"
That bastard had never said anything nice to her. He deserved to be single for life!
Then, she looked ahead again with worry in her eyes. She could sense it. Far ahead, her elder brother was in a terrible situation. They were linked by blood, so she could feel that her elder brother wasn't that far away anymore. However, her brother was also suffering from heavy injuries.
The life power around her was slowly spreading through the river. This was her opportunity to push into the upstream alongside the power. She looked back again. The hole had been covered. Su Yu was no longer visible. Yet for some reason, an indifferent Su Yu still appeared in her vision.
Indifference.
"Damn it!"
She cursed once again. Just as she was about to push forward, she recalled something else and turned around before rushing downstream at a rapid pace. In the blink of an eye, she arrived before a certain tributary. A powerful tributary.
There were some people inside the tributary. Suddenly, one of them opened his eyes and flew out. Hundred Battle King was surprised. Who was this?
Boom!
But before he could say anything, an incomparably powerful palm descended and pushed him back.
The palm continued ahead before plucking someone out. A confused Heavenly Overseer Marquis flickered into existence. Just as his jaw was starting to drop from shock, he was turned into countless threads with a wave of Xing Yue's hand. Then, the threads wrapped around Hundred Battle King.
Finally, Xing Yue's cold voice rang out, "You are the fortune of our court. You are a servant of our court. Heed my command. Suppress him shortly or your fortune shall be severed."
And then, Heavenly Overseer Marquis lost all control over himself as he was turned into a net used to trap Hundred Battle King.
Hundred Battle King frowned.
He was just about to release a burst of strength before stopping. A battle would be inevitable if he resisted. One figure after another appeared behind him. Evergreen and the others stared in shock. Who was this?
"Rebellious officials."
With a snort, Xing Yue waved her hand again. They wanted to resist, but Xing Yu's token manifested before them and rendered all of them helpless. It seemed far more useful in Xing Yue's hands. When Su Yu was wielding it, it did not have the ability to easily suppress these officials. But it was capable of that in Xing Yue's hands.
Evergreen and the others paled as a realization hit them. This...was one of the rulers of the imperial court!
Who was this?
What was her goal?
Once again, Xing Yue reached out to them. Seeing that, understanding dawned on them.
A large amount of life force and vitality seeped out of their bodies and gathered in her palm.
Finally, Hundred Battle King roared, "Audacious!"
Boom!
Instantly, his aura surged as he broke free from the net around him. But at the same time, Xing Yue's aura shifted as she grabbed Heavenly Overseer Marquis again. Turning him into a sword, she pointed it at Hundred Battle King, "Stay back. Are you going to force me to break the seal now and help the various Venerables become Masters of Laws?"
Hundred Battle King frowned and asked, "You're a human. What do you want? That might change things for me, but it's nothing I can't handle."
Xing Yue considered that statement. It might be true.
She pointed at Evergreen and the others. "These are my family servants. They have all defected from the imperial court. As punishment, I am extracting half their life force and physical body power from them. This will settle the debt between us. Hundred Battle, do you want your people to shoulder the sin of betrayal forever?"
Hundred Battle King frowned. "Who do you speak for?"
"Human Emperor." Raising her Xing Yu's token and sword, she declared coldly, "I speak for the imperial court. Accept this punishment and I will grant them pardon."
Hundred Battle King's expression changed repeatedly. He was very strong. He had enough strength to handle even her. Previously, he had only been pushed back because he had been caught by surprise.
He looked at Evergreen and the others. He noted the complicated expression on their faces.
Sin of defection.
Were they actual defectors?
In a way, yes.
Xing Yue's eyes turned cold as she said, "Stop wasting my time. Make your choice now."
One of them sighed and said with his head lowered, "Do it. With this, our relationship with the ancient court ends."
Xing Yue declared, "You once served the imperial court. You have since defected. I shall strip you of your life force and physical body power before pardoning you on behalf of the court. Human Emperor has not abandoned anyone. Even now, he is still blocking the strongest enemies for all of us. Thus, your defection is a form of betrayal. This is your choice."
The Human Emperor had never abandoned them. The various human kings had never abandoned them. That made these people defectors. The Human Emperor had never stopped fighting.
Xing Yue did not explain more and started extracting their life force and physical body power. Before long, she withdrew Xing Yu's token and tossed Heavenly Overseer Marquis away. With a flicker, Heavenly Overseer Marquis faded into nothingness again.
Hundred Battle King's expression changed again. He asked, "May I ask one question? What is your relationship with Human Emperor?"
Xing Yue left without bothering to answer.
She was too busy to entertain him.
As for Hundred Battle King's subordinates, she had only extracted half their life and physical body power. They wouldn't die. They couldn't regain their life easily, but they could easily regain their physical body power.
After all, Hundred Battle King controlled the physical body dao. This shouldn't be an issue for him.
Before long, Xing Yue was far away. A gate appeared on her forehead. After a while, she stopped before a different tributary.
"Is this the heavenly desolate beast dao?"
She focused and noted that she should be correct. Then, she poured all the life force and physical body power she had just extracted into the tributary before sealing it off. Done with that, she gazed into the distance. There was no time. She had to leave now.
Following the spreading life power, she started moving forward. Before long, she arrived before the hole again. She looked down at the flooded hole. She sank into thought. That bastard might not use the heavenly desolate beast dao anytime soon.
Sure, she had heard several times that he was going to drain that dao and help his people recover, but she also remembered how forgetful he was.
Once again, Xing Yu's token erupted to calm the river. With a slap, Xing Yue parted the water, revealing Su Yu on the other side of the hole again.
A busy-looking Su Yu was just about to leave. Suddenly, he looked backward with an odd expression. Why was she back?
From afar, Xing Yue said coldly, "Heavenly desolate beast dao."
What was that?
The confused Su Yu said, "Speak clearly."
By merely speaking, he angered Xing Yue. She snorted and cursed at him inwardly. Then, she allowed the water to cover the hole again before vanishing into the distance. Rubbing his chin, Su Yu chuckled and rushed to the other side of the hole. Emerging from the bottom of the river, he gazed into the distance at Xing Yue's departing back.
Even without Xing Yu's token, he could still move through the hole. It would only be more tiring than before.
Looking at Xing Yue, who was moving forward rapidly, Su Yu shouted, "Remember! Elder brothers are meant to be dragged down, not saved! Don't get yourself killed. I'll visit your big bro when I find the time."
Xing Yue did not look back, but her body stiffened somewhat. Su Yu seemed incapable of acting seriously ever.
Su Yu laughed heartily. "Take care. Just don't stay angry at me. When you're upstream, feel free to tell your big bro that you have a powerful subordinate. This powerful subordinate will take the fight upstream soon. Shock him so much his jaw drops or something. Hahaha!
"Remember, don't tell your big bro more about me. I want to drop his jaw again when we finally meet!"
Truly an odd hobby to have.
Xing Yue continued pushing forward without throwing him a glance. That bastard was always so flippant.
As for Su Yu, he waved at the departing Xing Yue with a smile. But after some time, he sighed. That was absolute nonsense. He wouldn't be able to go upstream anytime soon. That was merely a bluff. It couldn't be taken seriously.
With this, he was done resurrecting everyone. As for Xing Yue, Su Yu couldn't be bothered to ask how much of her death spirit memories she still retained. But he could guess that she had probably retained a lot. Whatever. He would know more after taking a look at the heavenly desolate beast dao.
