Chapter 624: 200 Lower Fourth-Order Taixu, An Incident at the Star-Picking Tower_2
Even if it were him against Su Yu, Jiang Wen felt unsure about emerging victorious.
The power of that previous array was truly astonishing. Was it the runic array that unleashes spatial power?
Mad.
If he really thought that this inner courtyard elder was just a fifth-level Core Formation cultivator and looked down or even despised him…. again Jiang Wen drew in an icy breath.
Suddenly he felt a chilling sensation from this elder of the inner courtyard.
As Su Yu turned around, the straight back of Jiang Wen quickly bowed slightly, his face filled with an ingratiating smile, and he said, “Is Elder Su back?”
Su Yu chuckled lightly and said, “Elder Jiang.”
Jiang Wen said, “Elder Su, you honestly — you scared me. Silent until the reveal, I didn’t realize until now how extraordinary your strength is.”
“Even amongst the Immortal Faction…”
Su Yu cut him off, “Elder Jiang, you have it all wrong. The strong ones aren’t me, they are those runic inscriptions.”
“You should know that I am only at the fifth level of core formation. How could I have possibly done this without those rune inscriptions suppressing that guy?”
Jiang Wen immediately held his tongue, while secretly thinking, Fifth-level Core Formation cultivator? Although he had indeed observed Su Yu to be a fifth-level Core Formation cultivator.
But if he hadn’t just witnessed Su Yu in action, who would believe it?
However, he was astute and quickly diverted the topic, saying worryingly, “Elder Su, you were heavy-handed with Elder Cao, I fear Elder Cao…will find it difficult to recover.”
Su Yu laughed lightly and said, “He’s old, any injuries on the tendons or bones are hard to recover from. It’s okay, since he might not wake up anyway, with time, he could lie down for a few more years.”
Jiang Wen went pale, but casually responded, “Elder Su is right, dueling comes with inevitable accidents. Elder Cao too, at his advanced age, shouldn’t have insisted on challenging Elder Su, he doesn’t know how to take care of himself.”
“Hahaha.”
Su Yu chuckled, patting Jiang Wen on the shoulder, saying: “Next time, Elder Jiang, you should directly turn them away.”
“Report them to the Discipline Hall for punishment. Even though he might be an outer faction elder, it doesn’t mean he, or the Cao family for that matter, have the right to trample on the rules of the Immortal Faction.”
“Anyone who offends the will of the Immortal Faction, no matter who they are, must die.”
Jiang Wen quickly lowered his head in agreement, replying, “I will remember Elder Su’s teachings.”
Su Yu nodded and left, returning to his own courtyard.
Jiang Wen lightly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still shaking from the experience.
Those words were not necessarily intended for him to hear. After all, he too was an outer faction elder.
Not long after Su Yu returned to his courtyard, Fan Xiao, his junior Daozi, came to pay him a visit. Upon entering, she looked at him in shock and whispered in alarm, “Junior Uncle, you nearly killed Cao family’s elder just now?”
Su Yu immediately scolded, “Don’t spread nonsense! Killing him? That was a duel. What happened to Elder Cao was just an accident. His physique is already old and weak. He can’t bear much.”
“I was careless for a moment, hence Elder Cao got injured a little.”
A duel? Minor injuries?
Looking at Su Yu, who didn’t blink an eye, Fan Xiao admired him in her heart. She thought, probably only her junior uncle could tell such a righteous lie.
However, she nodded and said, “So, junior uncle, your strength has become so formidable.”
Su Yu denied, “You’re talking nonsense, how strong can I, at the fifth level of the Core Formation Realm, get? I just have a few runic inscriptions, and with the power of those inscriptions, I barely managed to win against Elder Cao.”
Fan Xiao didn’t insist on investigating Su Yu’s cultivation level, but instead, asked in astonishment, “Uncle, are you really a fourth-rank lower class alchemist, runic inscriber, array master, and Puppet Master?”
Su Yu shook his head, “That’s not correct.”
Just as Fan Xiao relaxed slightly, Su Yu continued, “I’m not a Puppet Master. I’ve been busy lately, so the lower class fourth rank puppet hasn’t been completed yet.”
“I’ve not completed a lower fourth class puppet, only after creating it will I be considered a lower class fourth rank Puppet Master.”
Fan Xiao: “…”
So, you couldn’t become a lower fourth rank Puppet Master just because you were too busy?
Fan Xiao looked at Su Yu with charming eyes, and said, “Uncle, how about we spar as well?”
A moment later…
Fan Xiao surrendered, asking Su Yu to dismiss several lower fourth rank arrays, and quickly retrieve dozens of lower fourth rank runic inscriptions.
“Junior Uncle, you even have to use several fourth-rank arrays, in addition to dozens of lower fourth-rank runic inscriptions against me? Isn’t that a bit overkill?”
“How could it be, I’m just fully respecting the power of a disciple of the Immortal Faction. Even considering that you are only at the Core Formation Realm, hence there were only dozens. If you had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm…”
“Then, what would happen?” Fan Xiao asked curiously.
Su Yu didn’t answer, advising her to go back and continue cultivating, and they would talk about it once she broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
After she left, Su Yu looked at the thousands of lower fourth-rank runic inscriptions in his ring. Of course, what else could he do but an overkill.
No, a disciple of the Immortal Faction is not a chicken, but at least a cow.
