Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Let you leave and call for reinforcements to deal with me?

Su Han was not so foolish, nor would he entrust his fate to the mercy of others.

Once Zi Qiong was dead, the consequences would be severe. First, Ye Chuanfeng would be utterly enraged and would frantically search for him. If he were caught, even death would be an unattainable luxury.

Secondly, the Tian Luo Saint would certainly come after him. Even if the Tian Luo Saint did not act personally, his status and position meant that a single word would be enough for many to willingly strike on his behalf, posing an even greater danger to Su Han.

Su Han knew all this and had considered it carefully, but he still chose to ambush and kill Zi Qiong. He did it for no other reason than the simple pleasure of enacting vengeance.

The words ”retreat” and ”compromise” had never been in his vocabulary; he believed only in the power he held in his own hands.

WHOOSH!

With a grasping motion, he pulled Zi Qiong’s corpse before him. Although it was mangled, it was, after all, a Purple Lightning Imperial Body. More importantly, she possessed a high-level Storage Ring. This Storage Ring was even more precious than the Purple Lightning Imperial Body because it contained a Holy Artifact: the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda.

Su Han’s Divine Sense penetrated the ring, shattering the imprint Zi Qiong had left behind. He then found the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda within, which brought a flicker of joy to his heart.

Ye Chuanfeng should have sensed it by now. It’s time for the second step of the plan.

Without any time to take stock of his spoils, Su Han swiftly collected the corpse and the Storage Ring. Then, using the Character Technique of Motion, he rapidly left the area.

Not long after Su Han departed, several streaks of rainbow light whistled through the air, arriving with incredible speed and appearing in the sky in the blink of an eye.

”The power of a Thunderbolt, this aura... It’s Junior Brother Lei!” Elder Qian of Kaiyang Peak’s pupils contracted as he quickly came to a conclusion.

Lei Ming was suppressed and sealed beneath Yaoguang Peak and had been severely injured by Ye Chuanfeng before. It was impossible for him to appear here for a battle. The only explanation was Su Han.

”The air is still filled with Miss Zi Qiong’s aura. I’m afraid she has been killed!” another elder said in a grave voice, and the atmosphere immediately grew heavy.

Zi Qiong was a follower of the Tian Luo Saint. Her death would stir up colossal waves, throwing all of Qingzhou into turmoil.

Ye Chuanfeng was also present. Having sensed the Supreme-level fluctuations in the area, he had rushed over immediately. The other elders did the same, all concerned for Zi Qiong’s safety. But they were a step too late. Zi Qiong had been killed, and the murderer had already escaped.

”Su! Han!” The chilling words burst from between Ye Chuanfeng’s teeth. His complexion was ashen and sinister, his face twisted with uncontrollable rage, resembling a Fierce Ghost.

Zi Qiong’s death struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him disoriented and terrified. He had no idea how to explain this to the Tian Luo Saint, let alone how the Tian Luo Saint would erupt in thunderous fury upon learning of it. If Zi Qiong’s earlier defilement had left some room for recourse, this time, even with ten mouths, Ye Chuanfeng could not clear his name.

Regret was pointless now. The only remedy was to capture Su Han and deliver him to the Tian Luo Saint for judgment. Only then could he hope to lessen his own responsibility.

”He just left! He can’t have gone far! Search every inch! Even if it means turning over the very ground itself, you must capture him for me!”

Ye Chuanfeng was utterly furious. He had never hated someone so much. Even when Mu Qingyun stole his position as Sect Master, his fury hadn’t come close to what he felt now. After all, losing the position of Sect Master was not a death sentence. But if he failed to capture Su Han, he might truly be sentenced to death by the Tian Luo Saint.

Su Han, you really are a troublemaker. Once I capture you, I will make your life a living hell!

Ye Chuanfeng roared furiously. Elder Qian and the others quickly took their orders, spreading their Divine Sense to search meticulously. The remaining six Supreme Realm powerhouses of the Seven Stars Sect were all present. With their combined strength, their search range was vast, and even the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead could not have escaped their notice.

Zi Qiong’s death was an earthshattering event that spelled big trouble.

Unfortunately, no matter how they searched, they found no trace of Su Han. At that moment, Su Han was not retreating but advancing, having entered the Seven Stars Sect once again.

The Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead indeed could not fool Ye Chuanfeng and the others, but his Thousand Changes and Transformations could. He once again transformed into an ordinary disciple and headed first to Yaoguang Peak.

He wanted to break the Great Formation and rescue his Master. Unfortunately, while the sealing Formation could be broken, the suppression of the Seven Stars Sword rendered him helpless. He tried several times, but all his attempts ended in failure, forcing him to give up for the time being.

Master, rest assured. I will definitely rescue you!

Su Han made a solemn promise, then turned and left Yaoguang Peak, heading straight for the depths of the Sect.

The first step of his plan had been to ambush Zi Qiong. The second was to take advantage of the chaos to empty the Seven Stars Sect’s treasury. He needed to exact revenge, rescue his Master, and withstand threats from all sides. To do that, he needed power. He needed to become stronger. The Seven Stars Sect’s treasury was a vast resource, one he could not pass up.

At this moment, Ye Chuanfeng and the five elders had left the Sect. The strongest experts remaining within were only at the Heavenly King Realm and were completely unable to see through his disguise.

Delving deeper, Su Han soon arrived at the Sect Master’s Hall. He knew the Seven Stars Sect’s treasury was located underground beneath it, protected not only by nine linked Dao Formations but also connected to the Big Dipper Formation. Anyone daring to infiltrate would trigger the Great Formation and be trapped inside.

Unfortunately, as strong as these formations were, they could not stop Su Han. He had emptied the Heavenly Demon Cult’s treasury; the Seven Stars Sect’s would hardly be a challenge. When the Big Dipper Formation was previously damaged, he had personally helped repair it. At that time, he had secretly left a backdoor, which now came in handy.

Formation Patterns emanated from Su Han’s hands one after another, imprinting themselves upon the Great Formation and allowing him to sneak into the Sect Master’s Hall silently.

The Nine Stars Chain Protection Formation!

The treasury’s defensive Dao Formations consisted of nine arrays, linked one after another. With a leisurely stride, Su Han waved his hand and broke through them, soon arriving at the treasury’s main gate.

”Open!”

Su Han exerted his full force, pushing open the heavy gate. A splendid light burst forth, bathing him in its glow and making him look like a descended deity.

Although the Sect had expended significant resources on its reconstruction, its treasury was still filled to the brim. The Seven Stars Sect had an even longer history than the Heavenly Demon Cult, and it also received annual tributes from the various powers of Qingzhou. It had all sorts of items, from Dan Talismans to Formation Artifacts. Although there were no Holy-level treasures, there were indeed Supreme Grade Dao Artifacts and Dao Pills.

Instead of leaving these for Ye Chuanfeng to use against me, I’m better off emptying this place and turning it all into fuel for my Martial Arts cultivation!

Su Han’s eyes lit up. He acted swiftly, transferring all the treasures into his Bronze Ring. Originally, he had not planned to target the Seven Stars Sect’s treasury. But now that Ye Chuanfeng controlled the Sect and had persecuted his Master, Su Han would certainly not let him off easily.

Soon, Su Han had emptied the treasury. He returned the way he came, leaving the Sect Master’s Hall and fleeing the Seven Stars Sect entirely.

Seven Stars Sect, I will be back. Next time, I will settle all debts, new and old!
