Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 775 - 364: The heavens allow, but I do not! Today, annihilate the clan, slay the sovereign!
The indifferent voice fell, and the Black Dragon Celestial Extremes descended, the gun’s edge placed on the ground.
Though it seemed relaxed, Su Tu could unleash an unimaginable killing technique in an instant if any movement occurred.
The elder sighed, then slightly raised his hand, signaling the surrounding villagers to disperse.
The villagers, seeing the elder’s command, hesitated not in the slightest before dispersing towards various parts of the village.
However, as they left, their eyes were fixed firmly on Su Tu.
Regarding these gazes, Su Tu didn’t even bother to pay attention and simply looked indifferently at the elder.
"It’s genuinely surprising that you survived. Very few survive Jieguang’s schemes; you are one of them."
The elder looked at Su Tu, his cloudy eyes flickering with unspeakable colors.
"Jieguang? Was the airship explosion and everything done by this guy named Jieguang?"
Su Tu repeated the name the elder mentioned, his eyes slightly narrowed. He quickly reviewed it in his mind, confirming he’d never heard of this name.
The other party couldn’t have schemed against him without reason, creating that explosion that collapsed the Star River.
There must be some hidden truth that he didn’t know.
"That’s right, it’s Jieguang. He is the king of this realm, and all the ’Xu Ling’, which you humans call beasts, are driven by him."
"Before, when you served as the Gatekeeper on Celestial City Star, you exterminated a number of Mind-Faced Beasts and killed a Beast King, disrupting his plans,
which caught his attention, hence leading to the airship incident."
The elder walked to a tree, squatting down like the simplest farmer, leaning against it.
Upon hearing this, Su Tu’s eyes twitched suddenly. The terms Xu, Beast, and all the Kings piled together in an instant made him realize something was wrong.
Xu Ling were an alien race that once tried to invade the Star River but were driven out of the universe by the allied forces of all races in the Star River.
Previously, Su Tu discovered that the beasts referred to by Humans were ’Xu Ling’, and there was a powerful hand enveloping the entire Star River, altering the memories of all races.
And there was also an incredibly terrifying white jade presence that warned, and even aimed to erase Su Tu’s memory.
Su Tu kept all of this deep in his heart.
He had always been curious about the true nature of beasts and Xu Ling but struggled with no direction to inquire.
Unexpectedly, just when he needed an answer, it naturally appeared.
The elder before him not only knows the truth about the airship explosion but seems very aware of the inside story of beasts and Xu Ling.
Thinking of this, Su Tu looked silently at the elder.
The elder, with his head lowered, squatting at the tree root, took out a nose pot from somewhere and inhaled gently.
"The king of all beasts remembered me and schemed against me for such a trivial matter. Your king is quite idle..."
Su Tu spoke meaningfully.
On that day, Celestial City Star, the invasion of the Mind-Faced Beast, could be seen as a major or minor incident.
If it were indeed that ’king’, he would have sent much stronger beasts rather than just a few small beasts and one Beast King.
That seemed more like a casual arrangement, no harm done whether succeeded or not.
Yet, just for such an incident, he remembered him and resorted to means, plotting against him, which in itself was somewhat amiss.
Moreover, on that day, before dying, that Celestial Being roared Daoist Master, and Su Tu also sensed the aura of a ’beast’, which means there is Dao Lord Level combat power among the ’beasts’.
Such beings at that level wouldn’t need to go through so much flair to eliminate him; they could directly snuff him out.
Su Tu, though not having seen himself clearly, wasn’t arrogant enough to believe that he could make an existence above the Dao Lord plot personally.
There must be something mysterious behind this that cannot be explained clearly.
"You are right, the incident on Celestial City Star was just his casual layout, a success would have added splendor, but failure caused no harm."
"But the one who disrupted that plan shouldn’t have been you. Your identity piqued interest. He was helping a significant figure make a choice, and you became the sacrificial lamb."
The elder inhaled a bit from the nose pot, his facial expression eased a bit.
"But rest assured, Jieguang will only strike once, whether successful or not, he won’t continue to act or plot, which is why trouble hasn’t continued since you survived."
Indeed, after the airship explosion, Su Tu was very cautious of everything around him since the opponent had already acted once and might strike a second or third time.
Su Tu always wanted to seize the moment they acted to uncover everything, but regrettably, the opponent never acted again since then.
As for the significant figure mentioned by the opponent, whom Jieguang helped make a choice...
Su Tu slightly raised his eyes, looking at the dome, seemingly seeing through the Star River, directly facing the site of the airship explosion at the time.
A grand and majestic figure slowly appeared in Su Tu’s vision.
"My dear master uncle..."
Su Tu whispered softly.
That day, when his Eternal Life was revived, he saw the Lord of Arms and a Daoist Master.
At that time, Su Tu’s form was void, untraceable by anyone, but he did sense a profound anger on the Lord of Arms, seemingly enraged by his ’death’.
But aside from that, he also sensed that after confirming his death by ’accident’, that individual visibly relaxed for a moment.
