Chapter 407 Taking a Step Back, Yu Li is Approaching (Part 1)

The dwarf Taoist priest died, and his body lay across the city wall of Cizhou, with drops of crimson blood dripping from the neat cut on his neck.

A dark cloud hung over Sikong Tu. He and the other two Rejuvenating Pill cultivators watched from afar, and for a moment, none of them dared to step forward.

That was a master of the Rejuvenation Pill, yet he could only hold out against Su Che for a short while.

Even with three Core Formation cultivators present, they dared not confront Su Che directly for the time being.

The main reason was that the Plague Yellow Taoist was defeated too quickly, which made them lose all courage in a short time.

"General Sikong, now that you're here, why don't you step forward and have a duel?"

Su Che chuckled softly.

Although the voice was low, it reached Sikong Tu's ears, stirring a fighting spirit within this powerful ghost.

Not bad.

Last time in the Yin-Yang realm, I lost to you.

However, it is only slightly inferior.

At that time, I was preparing to rebel against the Yin-Yang realm, and I had a lot of plans and schemes to make them come true.

Today I have achieved the body of a Heavenly Ghost Overlord, and am destined to be a tyrant of the mortal realm. There is no difference between us now, and today I will settle the score with you.

The ghostly flames flickered within Sikong Tu's double pupils, and his aura surged powerfully, indicating his readiness to truly test his skills against Su Che.

But is now really the right time?
Sikong Tu glanced around. Yue Luan and Jin Li were both rogue cultivators who had reached the Rejuvenating Core stage, and also elders within the Great River Alliance. If the three of them joined forces and pressed forward, Su Che would likely be no match for them.

Are they really no match for each other?
Even though victory was theoretically assured, Sikong Tu dared not advance any further.

He could feel Su Che's gaze fixed on him, as if a cold, sharp sword was pressed against his chest.

"Where there is life, there is hope."

Yue Luan's voice rang in Sikong Tu's ears. This Dan-returning elder of the Great River Alliance had a calm and steadfast aura, and his body was filled with powerful magic.

Jin Li on the other side remained silent, but his silence itself spoke volumes about his attitude.

"Walk."

The so-called decisiveness is nothing more than being able to take things up and let them go, since there is no longer any desire to fight in one's heart.

Sikong Tu rode away in a flash of light, and the three Core Formation cultivators retreated just like that.

Above the sky, the pale sun had already risen above the horizon, its cold light shining on the city walls of Cizhou, and the chill in the air still lingered.

"Hang this head outside the south gate."

Su Che casually tossed the short Taoist's head to a soldier defending the city wall, then flicked his right index finger, unleashing a burst of Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire that reduced the short Taoist's corpse to ashes.

And so the man died.

Unfortunately, they couldn't even get a clear answer about the font size.

Looking at the corpse that had turned to ashes, Su Che felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Cultivation is not easy, and this short-legged Taoist priest has spent countless years to reach his current level.

However, settling the accounts and turning them into ashes only took a morning.

Su Che felt a pang of melancholy. He wondered how many cultivators like the short-legged Taoist would have to sacrifice themselves on the path to becoming a true immortal.

Putting aside his inner thoughts for the time being, Su Che returned to his residence.

The head of a dantian was hung high outside the city gate, which was the best warning. The rebel army also needed to process the conflict.

Su Che had just returned to the manor when he saw the Yin Yang Dharma King still eating.

After finishing the pastries, the old man had someone light a copper stove, add charcoal underneath, and have thinly sliced ​​mutton simmering in the pot.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King was holding a small celadon bowl and was scooping out meat to eat.

Beside him was a scholar named Xuan Gui, who was carefully peeling garlic for him.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King ate a bite of mutton and a bite of garlic, finding it very nourishing.

"I mean, what are you doing..." Su Che looked at the man eating his hand and didn't know what to say for a moment.

You've been a ghost cultivator for many years, so how come you eat as if you don't have a next meal?
The Yin-Yang Dharma King was enjoying his meal immensely when he saw Su Che arrive. He immediately gestured to Xuan Gui, who was serving him, to quickly add another set of chopsticks and a bowl.

"The morning is the perfect time for nourishing the body, as the yang energy is just beginning to rise."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King put the bowl and chopsticks aside, took out a pink silk handkerchief embroidered with peonies from his sleeve, and wiped his mouth.

Congratulations on your great victory!

Su Che glanced suspiciously at the rather flamboyant silk handkerchief in the Yin-Yang Dharma King's hand, wondering where this senior had found it.

Hyun-gyu brought over bowls, plates, and chopsticks, listening intently with curiosity, but couldn't make heads or tails of it.

How did we manage to win such a great victory?
"What's your plan next?"

The Yin-Yang Dharma King picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth: "Next time it won't be so simple."

"I know, that's why I'd like to ask for your help, senior. I'd like to use that method."

Su Che smiled slightly, as if he had already made a plan.

After thinking for a moment, the Yin-Yang Dharma King roughly understood what kind of method Su Che was referring to, and he immediately shook his head.

“Once that method is revealed, everyone in the world will know that you belong to my Black Emperor lineage. Even if it prevents those people from advancing, it will be a losing proposition. It’s not appropriate, it’s not appropriate at all.”

Upon hearing Yin Yang Dharma King's words, Su Che abandoned his idea. Su San Gongzi's original plan was to establish a formation called "Taiyin Seven Kill Soul Guiding Formation" outside Cizhou City, in accordance with the laws of the Black Emperor lineage. This formation was created by the ancient Black Emperor himself, and once activated, it could kill people invisibly with spells.

Within the formation, countless deities manifest, essentially turning beans into soldiers, instantly creating a mighty army capable of stopping the chaotic forces before Cizhou City.

Countless ancient powerful beings perished in the Black Emperor's formation back then. As long as such methods are revealed, everyone will know that Su Che is a descendant of the ancient Black Emperor's lineage.

By calculating in this way, we can naturally find out the whereabouts of the Yin-Yang Dharma King.

The arrangements made by Zhongshan Hui along the way have essentially brought them from behind the scenes to the forefront.

That's why the Yin-Yang Dharma King said it was inappropriate.

This is actually why Su Che didn't use the Black Emperor's methods when fighting enemies before, in order to cover his tracks and prevent anyone from discovering the connection between them.

Young Master Su naturally knew that Yin Yang Dharma King was right, but today's scene was that four Rejuvenation Pills had come together. Although he had ruthlessly killed the Dwarf Taoist, who knew how many troops Yu Chen would send next time?
If we were to bring in a few fourth-rank Void Step experts from White Deer Cave, that would be a real problem.

"Actually, if you ask me, Su boy, you don't need to be in such a hurry."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King snorted a few times: "Your Huangtian Daoist sect is so powerful and influential, you certainly won't let him sit here in vain. Why not write a letter and invite a few fellow disciples to come and help? Wouldn't that be more impressive than the White Deer Cave sect?"

Su Che glanced at the Yin-Yang Dharma King before him and simply muttered, "Please enjoy your meal."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went back to his study.

Later, Young Master Su will need to tidy up before going to find Xiong Shou and Wang Jian to discuss matters.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King's words are indeed reasonable. Huangtiandao is a major sect of Xuanmen, and naturally it has many disciples traveling in the Central Plains. If they just find a few ruthless characters, they can certainly beat Bailudong to a pulp.

Of all the disciples under Huang Tiandao, Su Che only knew one, True Person Yu Lizi. The rest of the disciples were like dragons swimming in the sea, impossible to find.

Should we ask Su Che to pack up and find a way to ascend to that ethereal and distant Yellow Heaven to seek help from the sect?

The Yin-Yang Dharma King was certainly aware of these circumstances, so bringing up this topic at this moment was purely to annoy people.

"Hey, don't go!"

The Yin-Yang Dharma King took a few steps forward and said, "Quickly find me a house so I can hide there. If not, book me a room at Yinghai Tower..."

Yinghai Tower was the most prestigious brothel in Cizhou City, offering everything from fox spirits and ghosts to demonesses and fragrant maidens.

Of course, consumption is also extremely high.

Why would the Yin-Yang Dharma King go there for no reason?
Su Che suspected that this senior might be hiding some esoteric Yin-Yang dual cultivation method from him, and he was preparing to go there to work hard.

"Senior, could it be some kind of monstrous flood or mortal enemy?"

"I wouldn't dare say it's a flood or a ferocious beast, but it might be a sworn enemy. We've already received news that your cheap master will be out of seclusion in the next day or two."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King jumped up and said, "We can't let him get hold of our affair."
