Ye Fei Li then told Su Xue Er clearly about the current situation.
The magic and abilities only seen in legends have appeared in the human realm.
The weapons of Huang Quan had also begun to find their new masters.
Even human lifespan has become much longer due to cultivation.
Under that situation, it couldnât be helped that there were some who happen to cultivate faster than others, becoming arrogant and full of themselves from wielding powers they didnât have before.
A few began to form their own organizations, others refused to conform to the rules and laws of society and began to do things as they like.
In short, the order formed through thousand years of traditions was shaking and about to collapse from everyoneâs individual strength suddenly growing.
After hearing everything, Su Xue Er still didnât think too much of it.
She looked at Ye Fei Li and asked: âWhat is your relationship with Qing Shan?â
âHe saved me from destruction and corruption, so I follow his guidance. Iâm not really sure how to identify this relationshipâ Ye Fei Li thought for a bit and answered.
He waved behind himself.
An innocent-looking young girl appeared by his side.
âCome, greet your sister-in-nameâ Ye Fei Li said. (1)
âHello, sister-in-nameâ the young girl smiled amiably.
âHelloâ Su Xue Er accepted that way of referring to her as she observed the girl.
Then, she moved her hand slightly.
She threw out a grey card that scattered to become a thick grey mist in mid air, enveloping the girl.
The grey mist quickly shrunk to become a crystal ball.
The crystal ball then fell into Su Xue Erâs hand.
Su Xue Er squinted her eyes, staring at the crystal ball.
She told Ye Fei Li: âDo not be alarmed, itâs because sheâs a soul that I can see what she went throughâ
Countless images appeared in Su Xue Erâs eyes before disappearing.
Wandering souls donât have a solid body so they canât stop the probing of a card user.
Everything that happened to this girl within the last 1 year appeared in Su Xue Erâs eyes.
âSo something like that⊠happenedâ
Su Xue Er muttered.
Ye Fei Li asked: âAre you looking at her past?â
âOf course, I wonât arbitrarily trust any random strangerâ Su Xue Er said bluntly.
But her attitude towards Ye Fei Li was already much less distant.
From what she saw, this man was really quite close to Gu Qing Shan.
âWhat do you want me to do then? Help you?â Su Xue Er asked.
âNot help usâ
Ye Fei Li continued: âGu Qing Shan went through so much trouble to fuse the two worlds, so he probably doesnât want everything to mess up and be this chaoticâ
âThe cultivation system and scriptures were also things that he established after a long hours of effort and experimentsâ
âNow that heâs not here, we just want you to chime in a little bit and help him take care of this worldâ
Su Xue Er went silent briefly.
I used to have a cultivation scripture that Gu Qing Shan gave me.
Unfortunately, I lost it.
Iâve already known most of what Gu Qing Shan had done lately from that weapon of Huang Quan.
Thinking back, Gu Qing Shan in fact did spend a lot of effort to save this world.
Everything here are the results of Gu Qing Shanâs blood and tears.
Thinking that, Su Xue Er nodded: âI can promise thatâ
Everyoneâs attention focused on her.
Su Xue Er solemnly declared: âFrom now on, as one of the 9 Lords, I support the results of your discussion, and I hope that those villains are bound by law, no longer bringing trouble to this worldâ
Both the President and Monarch Varona had clear looks of joy in their eyes.
If the 9 Lords were willing to cooperate with the two most powerful countries in the world, then this world would very quickly return to the era of order and peace.
No matter how powerful the individual, they wouldnât be able to go against these three large organizations.
The worldâs order will be kept.
âThen our meeting has been concludedâ the President joyfully said.
At this time, a screen was projected from everyoneâs Holo-Brains.
The 9 Lords were sitting at a press conference.
A graceful female voice came.
[Two pivotal announcements are currently being broadcasted live]
[The Freedom Confederateâs 9 Lords have made out the following announcements:]
[From now on, all weapons of Huang Quan belong to the 9 Lords, those who willingly submit to them will receive compensation in Credits, those who resist will immediately be arrested]
[The second, in the same press conference, the 9 Lords had confirmed that 64 out of 100 top Combatants of the world are currently serving under the 9 Lords, as they declare the formation of the Grand Cultivation Alliance]
The voice from their Holo-Brain stopped.
Su Xue Er was stunned.
At this moment, her mother, Madame Su had just stood up.
Madame Su was speaking on behalf of the Su family.
[The formation of the Grand Cultivation Alliance represents authority that exceeds borders and countries. From today onward, the 9 Lords will bear the responsibility and duty for leading this world forward]
[The 9 Lords will create a constitution that will better fit the new worldâs order]
Su Xue Er silently watched all this happen.
Everyone else in the room said nothing and remained silent.
They all know the relationship between Su Xue Er and Gu Qing Shan, so they knew it wasnât the place to say anything else.
Su Xue Er bit her lip and silently turned off her Holo-Brain.
âYour name was⊠Ye Fei Li?â Su Xue Er abruptly asked.
âThatâs right, Iâm Ye Fei Liâ
âGu Qing Shan had always treated you like a dear brother, and you know that as well, yes?â
âOf course, he has taken care of me a lot, this I engrave deeply in my heartâ
âVery wellâ
Su Xue Er solemnly took out a glittering blood-red card.
âTake it, this is a card I happened upon when I was passing through Devil Town, it will be useful for youâ
Ye Fei Li waved his hands to refuse: âThereâs no need for that, I havenât done anything yet, I canât possibly take your thingsâ
âTake it, I will treat you the same way that Qing Shan does, consider it my meeting gift to youâ Su Xue Er said.
She said nothing else and lightly flung the card forward.
It was flying towards Ye Fei Li.
Ye Fei Li could only catch it.
The card suddenly disappeared in his hand.
Ye Fei Li was surprised as he looked at his hand and searched all over himself.
There was nothing.
Where did the card go?
âYe Fei Li, protect this place, if Gu Qing Shan returns, please tell me immediatelyâ
Saying so, Su Xue Er walked out of the mansion.
From moments unknown, she had already grasped a scepter in hand.
The door was already open.
Su Xue Er left.
âWhere are you going?â Ye Fei Li loudly shouted from behind.
Su Xue Er didnât bother to stop or turn around, only replying: âI need to protect this world in his placeâ
Zhang Ying Hao who has been sitting still since a while ago suddenly stood up and chased after her.
âWhat is it?â Liao Xing also walked up and asked.
âShe is Gu Qing Shanâs girl, if she went against the 9 Lords alone and something happens to her, it wonât be easy for us to say anything to Qing Shanâ Zhang Ying Hao hurriedly explained.
âNo way, thereâs still usâ Ye Fei Li also chased after Zhang Ying Hao.
âGo, the entire Confederate, all its citizens and military that arenât aristocrats will be your supportâ the President said.
The Holo-Brain in his hand lit up, signaling that Impartial Goddess had connected.
Monarch Varona also took out her Holo-Brain to connect to Iron Shroud.
The weapons of Huang Quan also followed after Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li.
They all went outside.
Only to see that Su Xue Er was standing on the empty field by the mansion, raising the scepter in her hand.
âWhat is she doing?â Ye Fei Li asked.
âIâm not sure, but I can sense that itâs not goodâ Zhang Ying Hao replied.
Su Xue Er was chanting something.
She then stabbed the scepter into the ground.
Boom!
Dust was kicked up as intense wind started to gather around.
A majestic and loud voice resounded from the void of space.
[Master of Law and Punishment, heir to the Infinite Worlds Blood River, owner of the white robe and scepter, esteemed lady of Fog Isle, I heed your call]
The dust settled.
A monster donned in thick armor slowly descended.
The monsterâs body was as large as the mountain itself, with two large horns on its head and a pair of wings clad in grey mist on its back.
âItâs good that youâve comeâ Su Xue Er said.
The monster opened his eyes to show a pair of vertical irises, kneeling down on one knee as he faced the mountain.
It asked very politely: âMilady, would you like to summon the army to massacre all living beings in this world?â
Note:
(1) sister-in-name: The original word means âsister-in-lawâ or âwife of my good brotherâ, but it doesnât make sense in this context since Ye Fei Li and Gu Qing Shan arenât blood brothers. The word is also used quite a bit more loosely since CN have a long tradition of sworn brothers and sister â not actually born from the same mother and father but have a close relationship that resembles such, a good example of sworn brothers are Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
