Chapter 43: Tearing the Void

Chapter 43 Tearing the Void

With a muffled thud, the large black cat was blasted by a formidable force straight down to the deepest part of the pool.

The pool was exceptionally deep, plunging hundreds of meters down.

Landing face-first at the bottom, the black cat took a mouthful of silt.

It hurriedly flipped over and spat out the sand at the bottom of the water.

At this moment, the big black cat looked utterly aggrieved and on the verge of tears.

A Supreme-realm cultivator... was it really wrong to call them that?

Within the Litian Empire, a Supreme-realm cultivator was the absolute pinnacle of existence.

Yet in the mouth of this Grand-uncle Horse, they had been reduced to insignificant little practitioners.

This Grand-uncle Horse...

What on earth was its cultivation level?

And its master, radiating divine light like a living deity, completely concealed any trace of cultivation.

Swish!

The water churned as the large black cat burst forth from the depths of the pool once again.

"Grand-uncle Horse, this little cat knows its wrong. Please, old sir, forgive me."

As soon as it surfaced, the big black cat knelt on the water's surface, kowtowing and cupping its paws in supplication.

The dark steed gave a cold snort and remained silent.

A faint smile played across Ye Yun's face.

With a sudden flick of his finger, the little cat's head drooped downward.

The next second, Ye Yun withdrew his hand, and the big black cat returned to normal.

His previous action was simply to verify the truth of the cat's words.

Clearly, the giant cat had not lied.

Su Wanyi had indeed been taken to the Myriad Beast Divine Sect of the Litian Empire by the cat's master.

"Luoli, Jun Moxiao, you two... do you want to see your Senior Sister?"

Ye Yun looked at the pair with a faint smile.

"I do, Ancestor! It's been over three months since I last saw Senior Sister, I miss her so much."

Luoli's voice choked with unshed tears.

Beside her, Jun Moxiao had already begun to cry unashamedly.

It seemed this young boy had an even lower tear threshold than Luoli.

"Since you want to see her so much, I'll go drag her back right now," Ye Yun said with a smile.

He gently raised his right arm.

As his arm lifted, trails of brilliant white light slowly began to emanate from it.

In the end, the white radiance became blindingly intense, so bright that everyone else had to shield their eyes.

Ye Yun's hand, transformed entirely into light, plunged fiercely into the void and vanished from sight.

Simultaneously, the dazzling white light disappeared as well.

***

Ye Yun's expression remained calm, as if his arm was searching for something within the void...

Luoli and Jun Moxiao stared with eyes as wide as copper bells, their hearts churning with monstrous waves as they witnessed this incredible scene.

Could it be that the Ancestor was about to employ this supreme divine ability to snatch Senior Sister Su Wanyi straight out of the Litian Empire with his bare hand?

Sensing the terrifying nature of that white light, the big black cat trembled all over, muttering to itself, "Good heavens, what kind of power is this?"

The dark steed cast a disdainful glance at it and snapped irritably, "Look at your superficial knowledge, utterly devoid of potential."

The big black cat scrambled over eagerly, groveling at the dark steed's hooves, rubbed against them gently, and looked up with awed inquiry, "Grand-uncle Horse, what kind of divine ability is this honorable master displaying?"

The dark steed tossed its head proudly and said with a hint of smugness, "Naturally, the Master is tearing through space, heading to the Litian Empire, and going straight to your Myriad Beast Divine Sect to fetch his sect's successor."

What?!

The big black cat was struck with a sudden terror. Countless hundreds of millions of miles lay between this place and the Litian Empire.

Over such a vast distance, could a living person really be snatched away using just a single hand?

Noticing the cat's dumbfounded expression, the dark steed lifted a hoof, tapped the feline's head a couple of times, and whispered, "Others cannot, but the Master can."

The big black cat wore a blank expression, blinking rapidly as it muttered, "The Master can?"

The dark steed let out two chuckles and said no more.

***

Litian Empire.

Amidst a towering, majestic range of mountains rich in spiritual energy, all manner of powerful spirit beasts soared through the skies.

This was the Myriad Beast Divine Sect.

One of the five supreme factions of the Litian Empire.

At this moment, within a mountain valley,

a beautiful young woman in purple robes was surrounded by a group of disciples from the Myriad Beast Divine Sect, who pointed at her and sneered derisively.

"Is this the genius brought back by the Sect Master?"

"Her cultivation is far too low!"

"She's only just broken through to the Mysterious Elixir Realm; she wouldn't even rank among the outer disciples here!"

Hearing the jeers ringing in her ears, Su Wanyi lowered her head, a sorrowful expression on her face.

Though she had narrowly survived and been brought to the Myriad Beast Divine Sect by that powerful expert,

in reality, she was subjected to constant mockery here.

The reason was simple: her cultivation was far too weak.

Over the past three months, she had cultivated desperately, yet she had only advanced from the ninth layer of Qi Gathering to the third layer of the Mysterious Elixir Realm.

Though this speed had won the approval of her current master, many disciples of the Myriad Beast Divine Sect still routinely ridiculed her.

Especially when some learned that she came from a small, insignificant place in the Guyue Dynasty, they used it as a constant talking point to torment her.

Only upon arriving here did Su Wanyi realize that

the Guyue Dynasty, which had seemed unimaginably vast in her heart, was in the eyes of these people nothing more than an extremely remote backwater.

The so-called top ten factions of the Guyue Dynasty were mere ordinary sects.

While their Myriad Beast Divine Sect was a super-sect.

Super-sects were terrifyingly powerful,

towering like absolute behemoths.

Even an outer disciple possessed cultivation in the Origin Sea Realm.

***

Su Wanyi knew that low status came with little voice, and her cultivation was inferior, so she refused to exchange a single word with those who mocked her.

She had endured so much hardship, fleeing and hiding alongside her master since she was a child—what did these trivial jeers amount to?

One day,

if she could surpass these people, she would naturally use her strength to slap their faces.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, Su Wanyi. Are you deaf?"

A male disciple stood directly in front of Su Wanyi, looking at her with a grinning sneer.

Su Wanyi kept her head lowered, remaining utterly silent.

The male disciple stepped closer, then reached out a hand, attempting to stroke Su Wanyi's pretty, delicate face.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Startled, Su Wanyi immediately took two steps back.

A wretched expression crossed the male disciple's face as he let out a couple of chuckles and stepped forward again with ill intent.

The others crowded closely behind, hooting and jeering.

Panic flickered in Su Wanyi's eyes. The male disciple before her was the personal disciple of the Ninth Peak's master, and his cultivation had already reached the Divine Bridge Realm.

Flushing red as she retreated a few more steps, Su Wanyi realized she had nowhere left to run.

"Su Wanyi, why don't I ask my master to have a word with yours and have you betrothed to me?"

A lustful smile bloomed on the male disciple's face.

But the very next moment,

Bang!

His body suddenly exploded, turning into a mist of blood.

A gentle voice suddenly echoed across the surroundings.

"A disciple of my Dragon God Sect—is someone like you worthy of touching her?"

"Who goes there?! How dare you trespass upon the Myriad Beast Divine Sect!"

The surrounding disciples' expressions shifted drastically. They drew their weapons instantly, treating the situation as a dire emergency.

Dragon God Sect?

Panicked and bewildered, Su Wanyi suddenly raised her head at the mention of these three words, her expression mixed with confusion.

Could the powerful expert who spoke also be a senior from her Dragon God Sect?

"Little girl, I'll spare the lives of the rest of these people so that you can cut off their heads yourself once your divine arts are fully accomplished!"

That voice rang out once more beside Su Wanyi's ear.

Hearing these words, Su Wanyi's soul trembled uncontrollably.

A glowing hand of light suddenly reached out from the void, descended upon Su Wanyi, grabbed hold of her, and vanished instantly.

The next moment,

Ye Yun withdrew his arm from the void and gave it a gentle shake.

Su Wanyi, clad in her purple robes, appeared right before everyone's eyes.
