Chapter 409 406- The Truth (1)

Sea King Modu seeing this narrowed his eye.

'Bastards!'

In truth, he was so weak right now that he was only standing through sheer willpower. He had only made that threat because he wanted to avoid this very situation.

He could have handled just Fang Chen and the others, but with so many people attacking him he use up what energy he had left.

'Damn it, forget!'

Sea King Modu no longer held back and was about to call out the Heavenly Parchment that was protecting his soul. He was going to massacre these disciples before using what remained of his energy to escape with Yang Su.

However, before he could pull out the Heavenly Parchment, a figure among the crowd of disciples rushing toward him suddenly diverted and headed for Yang Su's unconscious figure.

Seeing this person, Mu Fan roared out.

"Bastard Shiming, what are you doing?!!"

However, despite yelling that and moving to intercept him, he like everyone else was caught off guard.

Shiming was able to appear beside an unconscious Yang Su and retreat with him.

Due to the sudden movement, the veil hat covering Yang Su's face was removed. However, no one noticed the faint twitch of his eyelids.

"If you want him to die then take a step closer."

Shiming laid Yang Su flat and crouched over him with his palm hovering over his head.

Since Yang Su was unconscious with his medians sealed, if Shiming wanted he could crush Yang Su's skull with a single palm strike.

Shiming was wearing a cold expression as he glared at Mu Fan and the others.

The disciples who were just crying for Sea King Modu's death all become silent and looked towards him with shocked expressions.

However, Shiming didn't care for their reactions. They were so blinded by their anger that they couldn't assess the situation.

If they forced Sea King Modu into a corner he would just kill all of them. No matter how weak he was and how strong the deathly aura that was beginning to form around him was, he still had the ability to kill them all.

"Oh god, is he even human?"

Shiming hearing this turned to coldly look at the disciple who said that. However, he saw that this disciple wasn't looking at him, but at Yang Su.

No, in fact, only Mu Fan and the others were looking at him, all the disciples he thought were looking at him due to his actions were actually looking at Yang Su.

"How can he be human? He's too good looking, he must be a demon that used some despicable methods to get such an appearance."

"Right, his appearance is too demonic."

Hearing these mumbles, Shiming became confused.

Handsome? Good-looking?

What were these fools talking about in this kind of situation?

But out of curiosity, Shiming decided to look down at Yang Su for a brief moment. When he did he was completely speechless.

'The fuck? When did this bastard become so good-looking?'

With his veil off, Yang Su's appearance was clear for all to see under the moonlight.

He had a perfectly shaped facial structure like it was expertly crafted from jade. His light-red eyebrows that were curved along with his similar toned eyelashes caused him to have a soft, almost feminine look. But his eyes and nose were constructed in such a way that gave him masculine features that could make one immediately tell he was male.

This sort of appearance was just too strange that everyone momentarily forgot about the danger Sea King Modu pose. Even Sea King Modu himself was taken aback by Yang Su's appearance.

If someone had told him this youth practiced some demonic art to get this appearance he would have believed them. There was just no way someone should look so perfect.

What even further convinced him of this fact was Yang Su's unnatural crimson-red hair, which was glowing softly while it danced without wind.

As everyone looked at Yang Su like they were in some trance, Shiming recover and forcefully looked away from him. He also used Yang Su's short hair to partly hide his face, while using his hand to cover the rest.

Like they had been awoken from a trance the disciples came back to.

"W-What just happened?"

"I-I…"

It looked like the disciples were indeed under some sort of trance as they seemed out of it.

Only Mu Fan and the others were okay as they had already gotten used to Yang Su's appearance. Asides from his red hair, they knew he was hiding his appearance to avoid this situation happening.

"Bastard, let him go. If you don't I swear I'll kill you."

Mu Fan growled out and took a step forward, but Jun who he was helping stand stopped him.

Shiming ignore Mu Fan and turned to Sea King Modu before saying.

"You want him, don't you? Take him and leave."

Fang Chen shot Shiming a glare and all his killing aura was directed towards him. The others reacted similarly, but Shiming's face remained calm as he simply lowered his palm towards Yang Su's head.

"Well? Do you want him or not!"

Shiming yelled when he saw Sea King Modu was merely staring at him.

After his shout, Sea King Modu swept his gaze across Shiming. After a few more moments of observing, Sea King Modu took a step forward.

"You-!"

A disciple from the Divine Music Academy was about to step forwards, but the was stopped by the beautiful girl.

"Young Lady?"

The disciple turned to the girl confused by her actions.

The girl gave Yang Su a glance as well as Fang Chen and the others. After, she turned back to Sea King Modu and stepped aside opening a path for him.

The other Divine Star Academy disciples seeing this were confused but followed her lead and stepped aside.

The disciples from the other academies hesitated but eventually followed suit.

Sea King Modu having the path cleared for him took a step forward and walked past Fang Chen and the others who trembling with anger. If looks could kill, Shiming would have been killed countless amount of times.

Even the other disciples were looking at him with unhappy expressions.

Sea King Modu soon came to a stop and looked down on Shiming.

"Move."

Sea King Modu said via Divine Will.

Shiming almost exploded but he managed to quickly hold himself back. He got up and retreated.

Seeing that Shiming wasn't planning to attack him, Sea King Mod glanced at him briefly. The piece of Divine Will he connected with the Heavenly Parchment retracted.

If Shiming had tried anything Sea King Modu would have just killed him right then and there.

But whatever his plan was, Sea King Modu got what he wanted.

Reaching down with his remaining hand, Sea Sea King Modu picked up Yang Su by the scruff of his robes.

"Bastard! Let him go!"

Mu Fan suddenly exploded forward, and at the same time Tai, Li Wen, Fang Chen, Fei Yin, and Lihua did the same. They couldn't just watch as Yang Su was taken away.

However, a heavy snort suddenly echoed out in everyone's mind.

A few disciples after hearing this snort suddenly cough out a mouth full of blood before falling unconscious, their Sea of Consciousness damaged.

The few that were stronger only had a painful ringing bombard their senses and caused them to clutch their heads in pain.

This included Mu Fan and the others.

Tai who had used his void ability suddenly appeared next to Sea King Modu while grabbing at his head.

While glancing towards him, Sea King Modu thought about grabbing him too. However, he eventually discarded the idea. He need to escape immediately and one more person was just going to slow him.

Thankfully he didn't have to use all of his energy and he should be able to escape with just this brat.

After rising into the air with Yang Su, the drop of purple essence blood on his forehead appeared and released a weak purple light.

A surge of power filled his body but this was only momentary. This essence blood projection power was nearly depleted.

But it should be enough for him to escape before reinforcements came.

Bang!

Sea King Modu's figure suddenly shot forward as he made his escape.

Jun seeing Sea King Modu's figure get further and further away felt hopelessness washed over him.

"You-You're dead, you're dead you me?"

Mu Fan was seen bearing the damage to his soul as he struggle to get to his feet. He then slowly walked over to Shiming, the tears in his eyes were mixed with killing intent as he grabbed his saber.

No matter what conflict he had with Yang Su, never once had he thought of actually hurting him. Much less wishing him dead he just wishes that fucker would stop looking down on them.

Just because he was that bastard's favorite he thought he could treat them like they didn't exist.

The way how Mu Fan saw it if it wasn't for Li Shen Yang Su might not want anything to do with them. And that pissed him off more than anything.

Shiming slowly got up and looked at Mu Fan with contempt. He went to say something but his face suddenly change and he turn to look in the direction Sea King Modu had just left in.

Mu Fan and the others did the same, and they all saw in the distance a pillar of crimson flames lighting up the night sky.

*About 1 minute ago*

Sea King Modu used everything he had to get away from this place. If he could just reach his territory he could be able to put this behind him and focus on recovery.

As he flew further and further away from the ship, his heart started to beat with excitement.

'The Heavenly Palace Realm, with this brat I can… huh?'

Sea King Modu suddenly felt his arm being grabbed. When he looked down he saw that Yang Su is woken up and grabbed his arm.

"Oh, you woke up? You…??!!!"

Sea King Modu couldn't finish his sentence and his eyes suddenly widen in surprise.

Yang Su's hair had begun shining with deeper crimson color. The heat that suddenly began emanating from him caused Sea King Modu's scalp to tingle.

Without any hesitation, he released Yang Su and quickly retreated.

BANG!

As soon as he did a pillar of crimson flames filled his entire vision.
