Chapter 487: Starlight cloak

“So you wanted the cloak…”

Su Xue Er muttered.

She reached her hand out, grabbing a black cloak covered in glittering stars from nowhere.

As soon as the cloak appeared, the 8 Lords faces turned pale.

Su Xue Er didn’t knew about it, but the 8 Lords all knew a certain thing.

The 9 Lords’ Protector will be able to observe the situation wherever the cloak was.

This was the greatest protection provided to the 9 Lords from the Protector.

That was the reason why they went the roundabout way of manipulating Su Xue Er’s parents but didn’t try anything on Su Xue Er herself.

Furthermore, even if they wanted to try doing anything to Su Xue Er, they could only observe her through her parents and slowly find a chance where she let her guard down.

“Stop!” the 8 Lords all ordered.

As the first person to pass the trail of power for several thousand years, Su Xue Er was someone extremely loved by the Protector.

They couldn’t risk the consequences of letting the Protector know that they were trying to kill Su Xue Er.

All the cultivators were breathing heavily as they stopped.

Despite bombarding them with so many spells and techniques for so long, the fact that Su Xue Er and her parents were still unharmed made the cultivators a bit unsure of themselves.

Since they had all reached at least Golden Core realm, their spirit senses have also been awoken.

A sense of unease was plaguing the cultivators here nonstop.

So they quickly took the chance to stop.

The banquet hall became silent.

Within that silence, everyone was staring at Su Xue Er.

“Is that it?”

“That’s the Starlight cloak representing the authority of the Lords?”

“Seems like it”

“What a beautiful cloak”

“So the legends are true”

…

Everyone lowered their voices as they discussed this.

Su Xue Er stared straight at Su Wan Xin and Madame Su, suddenly feeling a sense of distance she never did before.

Taking the cloak, she slowly walked before her parents.

“Mother, father, the cloak is here, but I need to make something clear to you”

“Xue Er, go ahead”

“Once you take this cloak away, I will no longer have anything to do with the Su family, if you agree to let me leave the Su family and leave you, take the cloak”

Su Xue Er calmly said.

The chandelier above reflected the final glint of light in her eyes.

“Nonsense!” Su Wan Xin shouted, “Even if I take this cloak, you’re still be my dear daughter”

He grabbed the cloak immediately and draped it on himself.

The crowd were all shocked.

The cloak just changed hands, so did the Su family’s authority just changed hands as well?

Everyone couldn’t help becoming rowdy.

Even the 8 Lords’ expressions became complicated.

Su Xue Er looked at the Starlight cloak her father was wearing and said, almost in a whisper: “So… be it then”

Lowering her head, the last glint of light in her eyes also faded away.

No one could see her expression.

Madame Su stepped forward to take her hand.

“My dear daughter”

Su Xue Er stepped back.

She avoided Madame Su and her hand, turning to face the other 8 Lords.

“One last thing”

“The Grand Cultivation Alliance, you have to give up on it” she said.

The hall was shocked silent again.

Everyone exchanged looks.

No one could predict that the situation would change so rapidly.

To form the Grand Cultivation Alliance, the 9 Lords spent untold amounts of effort and resources.

This was an organization formed to take over the world, yet Su Xue Er so lightly declared she wanted them to give up on it.

Everyone looked at her coldly.

“You are already no longer a Lord” a Lord simply declared.

The other Lords exchanged looks.

Su Xue Er no longer had the Starlight cloak.

They no longer had to be afraid of the Protector seeing anything, they can simply deal with her directly.

No matter how strong she was, there would always be a moment where she would let her guard down.

At that time, they could capture her and force the secret out of her, giving the 9 Lords even more powerful Combatants.

This was a good thing.

One of the Lords couldn’t help but laugh: “Such a big matter isn’t something the words of a young girl like yourself can decide”

Su Xue Er only replied: “Wrong answer”

She lightly tapped the ground with her scepter.

Boom!

The ground and mountain shook, kicking up dust everywhere.

A towering grey figure descended from the sky, landing in front of the banquet hall entrance.

A completely foreign monster.

Before the crowd could begin to panic, the security force had already leapt into action.

Modern weapons as well as spells weaved as they attacked the monster.

Flashy sparks flew everywhere.

But the monster was unscathed.

The Lords all exchanged glances to see the look of terror in each other’s eyes.

Su Xue Er could control such a large monster.

And the monster managed to be completely unharmed after taking so much firepower?

How did Su Xue Er do such a thing?

“Is this some sort of warm welcome? They seem to be very enthusiastic” the monster smirked.

Only Su Xue Er could understand its words.

“They were using their own method to attack you” Su Xue Er answered.

“Is that so?” the monster seemed disappointed.

At this point, a Golden Core realm late stage cultivator flew up, wanting to attack the monster.

He was the cultivator here with the highest cultivation.

“Peh!”

The monster spat some saliva at the cultivator.

The Golden Core cultivator screamed in agony as the wind pressure cut his body in half, then the liquid saliva slowly melted the halves of his body to nothingness.

Even the little scraps of him that remained were quickly blown away by the wind.

All cultivators here were frightened.

Su Xue Er stroked the scepter and lightly leapt.

As she landed on the monster’s head, she looked down.

When the monster noticed some sort of feeling welling up inside her, it tried reminding: “They seem to be your acquaintances, are you sure about this?”

“Say no more, I’m no longer related to any of these people” Su Xue Er muttered to herself.

She swung her scepter forward, randomly pointing below.

A holy white light erupted from her scepter.

And silently filled the entire banquet hall.

The 8 Lords, hundreds of cultivators, none of them managed to put up even a little bit of resistance.

Before the white light, they didn’t even get to scream before being reduced to piles of scattered bones and corpse parts.

The rowdy banquet hall full of guests just now had become a large pool of blood.

The only ones left alive were Su Wan Xin and Madame Su.

They stood shaking inside the banquet hall.

Su Xue Er closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.

It almost seemed like she was savoring the experience.

“Milady, congratulations on your first time sensing the joy of killing” the monster thunderously cheered.

“This is the joy of killing?”

“Indeed” the monster excitedly clapped its hand.

“…no”

Su Xue Er opened her eyes again: “This is only the simplest solution to a problem, and I feel nothing from it”

“Nothing?” the monster was surprised.

“Of course, because they merely died”

Su Xue Er lightly explained and raised her scepter again.

Countless transparent shadows flew up from the banquet hall.

They noticed Su Xue Er’s gaze.

The transparent shadows desperately wanted to flee, but they were restrained within a certain area, unable to leave at all.

Su Xue Er stared straight at these souls.

She then pointed her scepter at these souls who newly lost their bodies.

“Fuse” she ordered.

The scepter vibrated just a bit.

Hundreds of souls let out a screech of pain in unison.

They started to break up into tiny black-colored sprites of light.

These sprites gathered to form a cubic box that was quickly absorbed into the scepter.

The scepter’s color darkened.

Su Xue Er lightly touched the scepter with her other hand.

Numerous human faces appeared along the scepter, looking at her in fright.

They seem to all be begging for forgiveness, but no sound came.

Su Xue Er simply stared at their frightened and painful expressions.

Her furrowed brows started to loosen.

That’s right, the splitting and fusion of souls is an unbearably painful ordeal.

Compared to this pain, what is death but release?

“Take a look, capturing and torturing their souls this way… really does ease my mind…”

Su Xue Er told the monster.

Looking at the screaming souls writhing from the pain of being fused together and listening to her whispers, the monster couldn’t help but tremble just a bit.

“What is it?” Su Xue Er asked in confusion.

“It is nothing, milady, I’m always ready to serve you” the monster respectfully told her.

It was trying its best to maintain composure.

Su Xue Er suddenly realized something.

Putting the writhing souls away, she lightly tapped the head of the monster with her scepter.

It understood.

It brought Su Xue Er into the sky, leaving as arbitrarily as when it entered.

Leaving the stunned Su Wan Xin and Madame Su in the banquet hall.

From start to end, Su Xue Er never looked at them a second time.

But once Su Xue Er had left, both of them became incredibly happy.

“Ahahaha, with my daughter being that powerful, no one will dare to do anything to me again!” Su Wan Xin exclaimed.

“But she appeared to be a bit angry” Madame Su was a bit sorrowful.

“It’s fine” Su Wan Xin patted the cloak he was wearing, “she’ll always be our daughter, we just have to find a chance to console her a bit later on”

Being so powerful, Su Xue Er’s strength would allow them to deal with any trouble in one fell swoop.

They still had a lot to rely on her from now on!

Madame Su patted Su Wan Xin: “Now that every influential person in the other 8 Lords families are dead, we need to quickly return to the Su family and prepare to gain the biggest benefit from this!”

“You’re right! You’re exactly right!”

Su Wan Xin quickly realized and nodded.

At this time, they chose to completely ignore the pool of blood in the banquet hall they were standing in and quickly left the mansion.

There’s still a lot to do.

The Su family has to become the largest aristocratic family in the Freedom Confederate!

Two lines of bloody tracks quickly went far.

The monster was flying through the endless night sky.

Su Xue Er stood at his head, a bit confused.

“Milady, I thought you were going to spend some time to carefully refine that cluster of fused soul, why did you push me to leave so quickly?” the monster didn’t understand.

“There’s a sudden situation I have to deal with” Su Xue Er replied.

A line of text had appeared in front of her retina.

[Your Guru is about to return to Fog Isle, please return quickly to avoid being discovered]

Su Xue Er sighed.

I have to return to Fog Isle now.

But the people in power of the 9 Lords and most of their Combatants have been killed by me, so the rest of it can probably be handled by the Confederate President and the Monarch of Fuxi.

If nothing else, Ye Fei Li can handle the rest.

He’s an excellent fighter.

Qing Shan…

When he returns, everything should already be in order.

Imagining Gu Qing Shan in her mind, Su Xue Er couldn’t help but smile faintly.

Whenever she thought of him, it was like all her pain and troubles were worth it.

A few seconds later, a screen of light appeared and enveloped Su Xue Er.

It brought both her and the gigantic monster away without a trace.
