Chapter 390: They’re My Friends
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Spirit Central World, Southern Land, Thunder Breeze Sect.
As one of the former Four Major Sects, the Thunder Breeze Sect had an extremely high status in the Southern Land.
Although the Thunder Breeze Sect had already fallen out of the Four Major Sects after Patriarch Thunder Breeze’s death, it was still unreachable to ordinary factions.
At this moment, the interior of the Thunder Breeze Sect was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere, and they were actively preparing for Su Yan and the Ice Clan expert’s wedding.
In fact, the higher-ups of the Thunder Breeze Sect were also very opposed to this matter in the beginning. After all, Su Yan was the current sect master of the Thunder Breeze Sect and the future hope of the sect. Once she married into the Ice Clan, wouldn’t that mean that the Thunder Breeze Sect was done for?
However, the Ice Clan’s conditions were too generous!
Firstly, they would support the Thunder Breeze Sect and help them rise above the Three Major Sects to look down on the Southern Land.
Secondly, they would help the Thunder Breeze Sect nurture at least five Legendary Stage experts!
One had to know that the reason why the higher-ups of the Thunder Breeze Sect had prioritized Su Yan was because they wanted her to advance to the Legendary Stage and lead the Thunder Breeze Sect back to the Four Major Sects. Now that the other party had given them such a generous “reward”, how could the higher-ups not be tempted?
As for Su Yan, she had long been treated as a trading item by them, and they wished for nothing more than to hand her over.
In the eyes of these higher-ups, since Su Yan was the “sect master” of the Thunder Breeze Sect, she should be prepared to sacrifice herself for the sect at any time. In their eyes, it was only right and proper for her to do so.
…
“Hey, have you guys heard? Senior Sister Su, uh, no, Sect Master is marrying a guy from the Central Continent!”
On the Thunder Breeze Sect’s training grounds, a Thunder Breeze Sect disciple whispered.
“Damn, for real?”
Another disciple was surprised.
“Idiot, can’t you see that the Elders Guild has been preparing recently?”
“Uh… that’s true.”
“But… Senior Sister Su… why did Sect Master marry a fellow from the Central Continent?”
Finally, someone raised their doubts.
Strictly speaking, Su Yan’s status in the Thunder Breeze Sect was not only that of a holy maiden and sect master, but also the goddess in the hearts of many male disciples!
Seeing their goddess suddenly get married, how could these disciples not be curious?
Hearing this, the disciple said meaningfully, “Hehe, you all know that Senior Brother Lou is the First Elder’s last disciple, right?”
“Of course!”
Everyone nodded.
Senior Brother Lou, or rather, Lou Yun, was a genius whose cultivation was only inferior to Su Yan among the younger generation of the Thunder Breeze Sect. At the same time, he was also Su Yan’s loyal pursuer.
“When I was drinking with Senior Brother Lou yesterday, he told me that one of the experts from the Central Continent had taken a fancy to Senior Sister Su. If Senior Sister Su doesn’t agree to marry him, he’ll flatten our Thunder Breeze Sect!”
“What?!”
Everyone was shocked and then said angrily, “They’re simply going too far!”
These disciples were all young people after all and had always treated Su Yan as their goddess. How could they tolerate hearing such a thing?
“Hmph, my Thunder Breeze Sect would rather die than live in dishonor. How can we have cowards? At most, we’ll fight them to the death!”
“That’s right. We can’t let Senior Sister Su get married off just like that!”
“We have to resist!”
“…”
“Hehe, resist? Do you know how powerful the other party is?”
The disciple sneered and said, “There’s a Legendary Stage expert among the important figures of the Central Continent who have come to the Thunder Breeze Sect this time!”
“Legendary Stage?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions froze and they fell silent.
Most of the Thunder Breeze Sect disciples present were around the Heaven Stage or Earth Stage. It was very likely that they would never be able to step into the Supreme Stage in their entire lives, let alone the Legendary Stage. They were existences that they simply did not dare to imagine!
“Are we going to let those guys off so easily?!”
Someone gritted his teeth.
“Of course not.”
The previous disciple smiled and said, “After they marry Senior Sister Su, they will help our Thunder Breeze Sect nurture five Legendary Stage experts. These five Legendary Stage experts will be chosen from among us. We will all have a chance!”
“!!!”
In an instant, everyone looked at that disciple with shocked expressions. “Are you sure?!”
Five Legendary Stage experts?
How powerful were five Legendary Stage experts?
With five Legendary Stage experts, apart from that mysterious Xuanyi Mountain Sect, no other faction in the Southern Land could contend against the Thunder Breeze Sect!
“I’m sure.” The disciple asserted.
In fact, there was one thing Lou Yun didn’t tell anyone, and that was that he had already been internally designated as one of the five. Otherwise, as Su Yan’s pursuer, how could Lou Yun be so indifferent?
“But, with our talent, can we really reach the Legendary Stage?”
Facing the temptation of the Legendary Stage, everyone had already forgotten about Su Yan despite only having a 0.5% chance of being selected.
“Fool, don’t forget that they’re from the Central Continent. They naturally have a way to increase the cultivation talent of the chosen ones.”
To the Southern Land, the Central Continent was a sacred land that was filled with endless possibilities. No one doubted it anymore.
“I see. If only I could be chosen.”
“Hahaha, you? Don’t even think about it.”
“Bullshit!”
“…”
“…”
Just as the many Thunder Breeze Sect disciples began to argue over the “five” spots, the space in the courtyard where Su Yan lived distorted slightly as three figures appeared.
It was Qin Jue, Su Yan, and Killing Dao.
“Wu, is this the Thunder Breeze Sect?”
Killing Dao was about to fly up when Qin Jue stretched out his hand to stop her.
“What are you doing?”
Qin Jue was speechless.
“I’ll find and kill those fellows from the Central Continent.” Killing Dao said matter-of-factly.
Qin Jue :”…”
Qin Jue couldn’t help but feel that Killing Dao was too direct.
Sighing, Qin Jue ordered, “Without my permission, don’t move around casually.”
It wasn’t that Qin Jue didn’t like to be direct, but Killing Dao often couldn’t control her strength. If she was careless, she would destroy the entire Southern Land and even the Spirit Central World.
“Oh.”
Killing Dao nodded obediently and retreated.
After sending Killing Dao away, Qin Jue frowned. “There seems to be a barrier outside this courtyard.”
“Yes, it was set up by that Legendary Stage expert to imprison me.” Su Yan explained.
“I see.”
Qin Jue flicked his finger lightly, and the barrier outside the courtyard immediately shattered with a bang, turning into specks of light that dissipated.
The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of the experts of the Thunder Breeze Sect, including the Legendary Stage expert from the Ice Clan who had set up the barrier.
“What happened?”
“What powerful spirit energy fluctuations.”
“It’s coming from Su Yan’s side.”
“Let’s go take a look.”
The higher-ups of the Thunder Breeze Sect looked at each other and hurriedly flew towards the courtyard where Su Yan lived.
Su Yan was now their Thunder Breeze Sect’s super “bargaining chip”. They couldn’t let anything go wrong.
Fortunately, when they arrived, they discovered that Su Yan had not left.
However, they also discovered two people with unknown identities next to her.
The First Elder of the Thunder Breeze Sect floated in the air and looked down at Qin Jue and Killing Dao. His tone was unkind. “Who are you? Why have you appeared in my Thunder Breeze Sect?”
“They’re my friends.”
Su Yan looked up, neither servile nor overbearing.
“Friends?”
The First Elder was dumbfounded. He had no idea when Su Yan had these two friends.
Before the First Elder could figure it out, a cold voice sounded. “You’re the one who destroyed my barrier?”
