Chapter 298 - The So-Called Hero Su Yi
Chapter 298: The So-Called Hero Su Yi
In the distance, on the spiritual energy flying ship.
Old Master Nie stared blankly at the disappearing figure in the center of the lightning tribulation, his eyes slightly red.
At this time, the mighty tribulation cloud had already dissipated, but the person who had transcended the tribulation, along with the demon clan’s Lone Dragon, had also disappeared into the heavenly tribulation.
“Did the tribulation fail?” Old Master Nie’s voice was slightly heavy as he spoke.
He looked at the center of the tribulation lightning. There were scorched black marks everywhere after the tribulation lightning raged. Demon beast corpses were everywhere, and Su Yi’s young figure was nowhere to be seen.
However, it was also not surprising. With so many demon beasts and a single core formation realm Venerable Lone Dragon leading the Heavenly tribulation, if it was not seeking death, then what was it?
Even so, no one would mock the person who was undergoing the Heavenly tribulation. On the deck of the flying ship, there were already quite a number of freelance martial artists who spontaneously bowed towards the direction of the center of the lightning tribulation, to show respect to the person who sacrificed himself.
Even the old man from the Lu clan was a little moved when he saw the lightning tribulation. Although Su Yi had a grudge with the Lu clan, it was still only a grudge between the clan.
The old man from the Lu clan took off the identity token that symbolized the identity of the Lu clan. After which, he bowed deeply towards the direction where the lightning tribulation had disappeared. It could be seen that this old man from the Lu clan was deeply moved at this moment.
Su Yi’s actions had completely moved him. In this world of cultivators, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves in such a manner?
If one died under the lightning tribulation, it would not be as simple as just having one’s immortal destiny seal shatter. Instead, one would die immediately without the possibility of rebuilding the body of a mortal.
At this moment, Ji Tongtian turned around at the bow of the ship and looked at the itinerant cultivators on the deck as he spoke loudly.
“Everyone, the one who transcended the tribulation is called Su Yi. I believe that some of you have heard of this name before, while others have never heard of him before.”
“He is a very outstanding junior. Not only is his talent extremely high, but he has also already reached the peak foundation establishment realm less than a year after he activated his immortal destiny. At the same time, he is also a legendary figure who obtained the immortal transformation medallion in the Tiandao Immortal Sect competition.”
“But today, he has forsaken all the grudges in the past and sacrificed himself to the heavenly lightning, eliminating the demons who caused chaos in our great desolate region. Such a deed will be passed down for eternity and spread throughout the great desolate.”
“After returning to the Central Plains, I will immediately issue a notice to establish a stone statue of a great man, our hero, Su Yi, and inform the great desolate. When the great desolate was in trouble, it was such a character who saved the land.”
“Not only is Su Yi the hero of the great desolate, everyone here is also a hero. I will set up a golden list in Central Plains City and engrave the names of everyone who fought against the beast tide on it.”
“The name of a hero should not be buried. It will definitely be eternally engraved!”
City Lord Ji’s emotional speech caused the blood of these freelance martial artists to slowly boil. The name of a hero would be passed down through the ages, eternally.
Looking at the loose cultivators on the deck who had already begun to recover their vitality, Ji Tongtian let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at Old Master Nie and slowly said, “senior Nie, I did well, right? I think that Kid Su Yi should feel at ease in heaven.”
A life and death separation was something that often happened between cultivators. Perhaps today’s incident had left a deep impression on all of them.
However, even the most profound events could not be tempered by time. Perhaps in ten days to half a month, Su Yi’s stone wall would slowly fade away in the hearts of everyone.
What City Lord Ji had done was not only able to let the great desolate Central Plains know about a person like Su Yi, but also let Su Yi’s deeds be passed down as a kind of belief. Ji Tongtian was indeed worthy of being the city lord. He had indeed done a good job.
However, at this moment, Old Master Nie was still a little worried. What he was worried about was not what, but how to explain to his good granddaughter, Nie Ling.
He knew how much his granddaughter loved that kid.
“Sigh, I hope that Ling’er can get over this as soon as possible.”
The spirit energy ship quickly traveled through the air and returned in the direction of the Central Plains.
…
A few days later, as the elders returned, the city lord of the Central Plains City set up the golden list, and the entire Central Plains exploded.
It was only then that the cultivators of the Central Plains realized that the great desolate region had just been saved by those on the golden list. They were on the verge of falling into enemy hands.
As for those itinerant cultivators on the golden list, they felt proud as they walked on the streets and could proudly say that they, too, were heroes who had saved the great desolate region.
As soon as these words were said, they would definitely attract the admiring gazes of countless cultivators. Because of this, many female cultivators admired them.
Naturally, these so-called heroes on the golden lilst also included the names of the elders of the aristocratic families. Instantly, the reputation of these aristocratic families among the cultivators soared, and they became much better.
Of course, there were also some forces that gradually declined under the hands of some aristocratic families.
The first one to bear the brunt was the Tang family. Tang Shang, that old man, brought the core disciples of his family out of the great desolate region using a secret technique.
At this time, the Tang family was like an empty shell, unable to withstand any wind or rain.
After Xu Que returned to the Xu family, he immediately announced to the public that he had long disliked Tang Shang.
The Tang family did not offer any help in the face of the great desolate’s disaster. Instead, they added insult to injury. As heroes, they almost lost their lives.
As soon as this announcement was made, the Tang family was pushed into the center of the storm. For a time, the Tang family owned goods stores, trading houses, and other businesses.
All of them fell into a low point during this period. The Tang family, which lacked powerhouses, naturally lost the qualifications to be an aristocratic family.
Xu Que, who had toppled the Tang family, was naturally in a good mood. Not only did he swallow many of the Tang family’s assets, but he had also brought the Xu family’s family business back to glory.
Even in the Central Plains, his Xu family had a certain amount of authority.
…
In the Nie family’s mansion.
Old Master Nie stood anxiously in front of a cultivation room as he walked back and forth.
Suddenly, the door of the cultivation room creaked open and a beautiful figure appeared in front of Old Master Nie’s eyes.
Nie Dingtian was about to say something, but he was interrupted by a delicate voice.
“Grandfather, didn’t I say not to disturb me if there’s nothing?”
Nie Dingtian was stunned when he heard this. Then, he was afraid that Nie Ling would close the door again, so he quickly went forward and pulled the door open.
“Girl, you can’t still be angry with me, right? It’s just that in the situation at that time, grandfather couldn’t…”
Before Nie Dingtian could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Nie Ling.
“Angry? Why should I be angry with grandpa?”
She had a strange look on her face. A few days ago, when Nie Dingtian and the others had just returned from the northern border, she heard Nie Dingtian say that after Su Yi died and his Dao disappeared under the lightning tribulation. At that time, her heart was indeed as dead as ashes.
However, after she calmed down, she discovered that in her immortal destiny mark, the communication mark belonging to Su Yi did not disappear. It was still there.
In other words, Su Yi did not die from the breakthrough lightning tribulation. Instead, he went to a wider area.
However, she did not tell Nie Dingtian about this. She just wanted her grandfather to be anxious.
