Chapter 2174 - The Mysterious Man in Silver Robes

The little monkey and the Divine Replenishment Furnace quickly gathered the spoils.

As the greatest orthodoxy in the Billowing Blue Realm, Celestial Yao Mountain had an abundance of wealth, but few of its treasures truly piqued Su Yi’s interest. A few particularly enticing divine materials and medicines aside, the rest of the treasures were of no use to him. The monkey and the furnace didn’t need them, either.

Still, Su Yi wouldn’t let them go to waste. He placed all of them into the Ice Drinker Sword Realm.

That aside, he’d acquired six Godheads. The highest quality among them was second-level, and it had belonged to Yao God Sheng Que.

These too were of little interest to Su Yi, so he left them all to the little monkey and the Divine Replenishment Furnace.

The little monkey could devour and refine divine objects to grow. The same went for the Divine Replenishment Furnace.

The former was a natural divinity born of chaos, while the latter was a treasure that had arisen out of the chaos.

After finishing all this, Su Yi got Yi Ling’er, Yi Shuang’er, and Immortal Queen Zi Jue safely settled in the Ice Drinker Sword Realm, then set off without any further delays.

He was headed for the Southern Flame Divine Continent!

It was on that day that word of the Celestial Yao Mountains’ downfall shook the Billowing Blue Realm.

It was also on that day that people realized who Su Yi was.

“I saw him! Su Yi appeared at Fragrant Skies Tower. That yao god he’s traveling with killed the proprietor!”

It was the diners who recognized him, the ones who’d witnessed the conflict at Fragrant Skies Tower and the deaths of the proprietor and the waiter in yellow.

According to the diners, Immortal Queen Zi Jue and her disciple Yang Shuang’er had been there too!

When word spread, it drew the attention of the Billowing Blue Realms’ top factions.

“I wouldn’t have guessed that the man wanted by both gods and Buddhas would appear in our Billowing Blue Realm!

“If all went as I expected, the Celestial Yao Mountains fell by Su Yi’s hand.”

“Quick! Send word to Qingwu Divine Court!”

......

Several days later, a group of Southern Flame Divine Continent experts appeared in the ruins of the Celestial Yao Mountains.

All of them were gods!

They were prominent experts of Qingwu Divine Court, as the Billowing Blue Realm was under their control.

Su Yi had been spotted here not long ago, and he’d even flattened the Celestial Yao Mountains. This naturally drew Qingwu Divine Court’s attention.

Weng!

A black disc floated in midair, flowing with a mysterious, inscrutable rain. A scene appeared.

It clearly depicted the hundred-thousand-foot little monkey using his three heads and six arms to ravage the Celestial Yao Mountains.

“Who on earth is that?”

“That should be the yao god of rumors, the one who appeared in Fragrant Skies Tower.”

“What terrifying divine abilities. It looks like he’s just a Limit Realm Mid-Rank God, but his combat strength is comparable to Fortune Realm Greater Gods!”

As the experts of Qingwu Divine Court conversed amidst the ruins, they looked a bit bewildered.

When a treasure ship appeared on the scene, all eyes focused on the same person: a young man in blue robes. He sat casually in a wicker chair, holding a green-skinned gourd and drinking casually.

It was also in that moment that the young man seemed to sense something. He gazed beyond the scene reflected in the rain of light.

Bang!!

The scene exploded. Even the black disc emanating the mysterious Dao Light split and fell apart.

Every god present was stunned!

The black copper disc was an extraordinarily wondrous secret treasure. When it shone on a battlefield, it could recreate the battle in full detail.

Yet now, the mere reflection of that young man in blue had destroyed it!

Still, they saw enough to confirm the young man in blue’s identity.

Su Yi!! The criminal wanted by over a dozen of the God Domain’s greatest factions!

“It’s true! Su Yi really is still alive, and he’s appeared in the Billowing Blue Realm!” someone exclaimed.

But someone else sighed with deep concern. “This isn’t good news. The God Domain’s top factions will all focus their attention on the Billowing Blue Realm. Who knows how many terrifying existences will come to investigate?

“There’ll be no avoiding a storm of unpredictable magnitude. It’s... even possible that it’ll reach the Southern Flame Divine Continent!”

“The Southern Flame Divine Continent!”

“That’s right. Su Yi wouldn’t have dared reveal himself and commit acts of violence if he weren’t prepared. Seems to me that there’s no way he’d be stupid enough to linger in the Billowing Blue Realm after this.

“And the Southern Flame Divine Continent is closest to the God Domain!”

The others’ expressions filled with uncertainty.

If Su Yi appeared in the Southern Flame Divine Continent, he’d inevitably bring this storm with him. Who knew what kind of waves would sweep the Southern Flame Divine Continent as a result?

“The most troublesome part is, even if Su Yi goes to the Southern Flame Divine Continent, finding him will be like fishing a needle out of the ocean,” someone sighed.

The Southern Flame Divine Continent was just too enormous. It was incomparably vast, with countless unknown forbidden zones few dared venture to.

Some were so perilous that not even Master Gods dared explore them.

If Su Yi wanted to hide himself, who could possibly find him?

“When the wind passes, it leaves its vestiges, and when the geese pass overhead, they leave their calls. Even if he decides to lie low, so long as we can confirm his trail, the top factions have means of forcing him out of hiding!”

...As the gods conversed, a disheveled, carefree man in silver robes suddenly walked over.

The experts of Qingwu Divine Court looked over.

The silver-robed man had a distinctive aura, and he looked young, but his whole body emanated the air of the vicissitudes of countless years.

“Don’t misunderstand. I’m just a passerby,” the silver-robed man smiled and waved from afar. “I’m just here out of curiosity.”

The gods’ brows furrowed.

Blatant nonsense! Who’d believe such a thing? How could an ordinary passerby possibly remain so calm in the face of a group of gods?

But when they saw that the man in silver robes had no ill intentions, they didn’t object to his presence.

Kcch!

The silver-robed man flicked his finger, and a colorful lotus seed floated into the air. Time and space contorted, and everything in the surrounding area withered and collapsed. Countless resplendent flecks of spatial power formed to reflect a scene in the air.

It too depicted the little monkey assailing the Celestial Yao Mountains, and Su Yi seated on board the treasure ship. In the end, it even displayed Su Yi’s sudden attack, and how he killed Yao God Sheng Que in a single slash.

The silver-robed man couldn’t help but look stunned. He murmured, “It’s just as rumors say. Even though it hasn’t been long at all since he achieved divinity, he has the foundations necessary to kill Greater Gods!”

The experts of Qingwu Divine Court watched from a distance, all of them dumbstruck. The silver-robed man’s methods left them in shock.

A lotus seed covered in flowing, colorful light had contorted time and space, manipulating the natural order to display this scene!

What kind of treasure was this?

Furthermore, no external power affected the scene reflected by the lotus seed. It revealed the Celestial Yao Mountains’ destruction in full detail. The gods of Qingwu Divine Court finally got to see Su Yi’s terrifyingness for themselves!

“Oh? I didn’t scare you, did I?” When the scene finished, the silver-robed man put away the colorful lotus seed and asked with a smile.

The gods of Qingwu Divine Court exchanged glances. He hadn’t scared them, but he

had

astonished them!

“Might we ask your honorable name and surname? And are you perhaps here to capture Su Yi too?” The leader of the group, an old man, took a deep breath and asked. His attitude was humble and polite.

“No, there’s no grudge between me and Su Yi. I’m not here to capture him.” The silver-robed man shook his head. “And my name isn’t worth learning. I’m just a passerby.”

With that, he turned to leave.

But then, he suddenly realized something and came to an abrupt halt. “No, this isn’t quite appropriate.”

The old man was stunned. He asked instinctively, “What isn’t quite appropriate, sir?”

The silver-robed turned around, scanned the group of gods, and sighed. “I don’t want to kill you all, but if I’m to avoid unwanted karmic ties, I’m afraid I have no choice but to ask you to die.”

“????” The gods were stunned.

What’s going on? He wants to kill us? Why? We didn’t do anything this entire time!

The silver-robed man seemed to sense their confusion, so he patiently explained, “Earlier, I used the Lotus Seed of Light and Shadow to turn back time. I effectively revealed some of Su Yi’s accomplishments and abilities. None were exactly secret, but even so, you saw them all.

“To avoid misunderstandings with Su Yi, and to avoid getting swept into unwanted storms, I’m afraid... I’ll just have to wrong you.”

With that, he faced the gods of Qingwu Divine Court and bowed deeply and apologetically. “I’m truly sorry. As compensation, I’ll send you all on your way with dignity, and I’ll bury you properly and erect you each a tombstone to comfort your departed spirits.”

“!!!!” The gods gaped at him.

This silver-robed bastard wants to kill us all just because we saw those scenes reflected by the lotus seed? Is he sick in the head?

Yet the silver-robed man sounded so sincere, and so apologetic, and he even promised to give them a proper burial... It was all just so strange, even absurd. They couldn’t help but suspect they were dealing with a madman!

“Sir, we’re from Qingwu Divine Court. Aren’t you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself if you kill us?” the old man couldn’t help but say.

He planned to kill them over something so trivial. Was it really worth it?

Wasn’t he afraid of Qingdu Divine Court’s retribution!?

The silver-robed man solemnly thought it over, then said, “If I kill you all, no one will know it was me. How could that possibly lead to trouble?”

“And if I

don’t

kill you, Su Yi... will likely realize that I was the one who carelessly let things slip today. The advantages and disadvantages are readily apparent. Like it or not, I’ll just... have to endure the pain and get rid of you all.”

With that, he sighed, a guilt-stricken look on his face.

The silver-robed man seemed forthright, humble, and embarrassed. His every word and gesture suggested a guilty conscience.

Yet for some reason, the gods of Qingwu Divine Court felt their hair stand on end.

What kind of madman is this!?

“Retreat!”

The old man leading the group was the first to react. He immediately made up his mind to retreat and get as far away from this perfectly polite, yet incomparably frenzied madman as possible.

The silver-robed man grimaced, then shook his head and said sadly, “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid you won’t be going anywhere.”

Boom!

Heaven and earth suddenly dimmed. Time and space contorted, and countless luminous blades of temporal power surged forth and swept throughout the entire area.

Wherever they passed, gods fell like grass beneath a scythe!
