711: Chapter 711 Hmm? Are you sure you're not going to tell me?

"What? Kid... you're actually asking this? Are you playing dumb with this old man?"

Hearing this, the blue-robed old man put his hands behind his back, his expression changing slightly as he spoke with some impatience.

"Oh? Didn't you ask me to hand over the fragments of the ascension token?

But if you don't tell me, how would I know what that is?

And if I don't know, how can I hand it over?"

Su Yun said calmly.

His words sounded perfectly reasonable, instantly catching the blue-robed old man off guard.

He paused for a moment and said subconsciously:

"What you say... actually seems to make some sense!"

"Hmph, kid, listen well. The ascension token fragments are..."

Halfway through his sentence, the blue-robed old man suddenly snapped out of it, his eyes widening.

"Wait a minute! That's not right!!! Holy crap, I was almost... fooled by you, kid!"

A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and the violent Power of Law surged around his body as he said in a low voice:

"This old man doesn't need to waste words with you at all!

Once I kill you and get your Storage Ring, won't I know if you've obtained any ascension token fragments?"

Hearing this, Su Yun shook his head somewhat helplessly.

The trick had failed.

It seemed he could only reason with this blue-robed old man!

Surely, after reasoning with him...

...he would be willing to speak.

"Elder He, leave this kid to us to deal with!"

"Yeah, the two of us are more than enough to handle this kid!"

Behind the blue-robed old man, two Cultivators of the High-Stage Tribulation Crossing Realm—one tall and one short—were rubbing their hands together, eager to try.

"Go ahead!"

The blue-robed old man withdrew the violent Power of Law around him, waved his sleeve, and stood suspended in mid-air.

He looked at Su Yun with a playful expression, like an experienced hunter looking down at a prey with nowhere to run.

"Jie jie jie, kid! Hand over your life!"

"Die!"

With arrogant faces, the two stretched out their hands to perform hand seals, circulating the Power of Law within their bodies to unleash powerful Spells.

Seeing this, Su Yun didn't even bother to pay attention to them, only glancing at them briefly.

In an instant, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to freeze.

A terrifyingly powerful invisible force enveloped the two High-Stage Tribulation Crossing Cultivators.

Bang! Bang!

They were instantly blown into ashes.

Immediately after, Su Yun averted his gaze and looked back at the blue-robed old man, as if he had done nothing at all!

"What?" The blue-robed old man was utterly dumbfounded, his mind shaken instantly.

"Can you speak now?"

Su Yun continued to speak in a calm and casual manner.

If they were in the outside world, he wouldn't waste so many words; he would have just killed this blue-robed old man and searched his soul.

Any secret...

...would be laid bare after a soul search.

But in this unknown place...

...this method simply wouldn't work.

After all, these Cultivators were not living people and had no Divine Souls, so he had to take the more troublesome route.

"Kid, don't be so arrogant! You only killed two of this old man's subordinates! You..."

"Hmm? Are you sure you still won't speak?"

"Tch, why should this old man answer your questions?

You are merely a Cultivator of the Tribulation Crossing Realm! You are looking for death!!!"

Suppressing the slight sense of unease in his heart, the blue-robed old man struck immediately.

"Mystic Water Abyssal Realm!"

He opened his hands and summoned a Realm of Laws filled with deep blue mystic water, as if it could submerge everything, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

"Too weak!" Su Yun's expression remained unchanged. With a thought, a faint misty light instantly blossomed from his body.

At this moment, he seemed to merge into the heaven and earth, like a banished immortal.

Following that, without even using the Flowing Cloud Sword, Su Yun simply raised his hand and pointed his fingers like a sword.

"Blazing Sun Sword Art!"

A crimson light illuminated all directions.

Strands of Blazing Sun Sword Qi transformed into brilliant Blazing Suns, charging directly at the blue-robed old man.

The Blazing Suns collided with the deep blue Realm of Laws.

No sound was made.

It was a one-sided crushing.

The blue-robed old man's Realm of Laws was instantly shattered like paper, dispersing into specks of spiritual light.

"What? You have the strength of a High-Stage Mahayana or even a Mahayana Peak Realm while only at the Tribulation Crossing Realm?"

"Could... could you be the Young Lord of some Immortal Realm force? Why have you also come to our Haomiao Realm to vie for the ascension token with us???"

Looking at the Blazing Suns sealing off all directions around him, the blue-robed old man instantly felt a crisis of death.

His face showed terror, and his voice trembled slightly.

"I'll give you one last chance!"

Su Yun said coldly.

His voice carried a trace of invisible pressure, making the blue-robed old man lower his head in a panic and say:

"Your Excellency, please appease your anger... I... I will speak now!

The ascension token, just as its name suggests, is a permission token that allows one to obtain the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension.

There is no pattern to its appearance; it only randomly appears in the hands of some Cultivators in this world."

The blue-robed old man paused, then continued:

"To obtain a complete ascension token, one must collect ascension token fragments. Also... it seems that the more ascension tokens one obtains, the more benefits there are."

Su Yun thought for a moment. "Then... how many fragments are needed to piece together a complete ascension token?"

"I don't know. I have not obtained a single ascension token fragment to this day."

"Which force do you belong to?"

"I am the Grand Elder of the Water Underworld Sect... The Sect is located in the Haomiao Realm's..."

"Water Underworld Sect?"

Su Yun thought for a moment, but had no impression of it at all.

Moreover, according to the location of the Water Underworld Sect mentioned by the blue-robed old man, he remembered that in the outside world, that place was just a wasteland with absolutely nothing.

"How long have you been here?"

"I've been here... for a year?" The blue-robed old man shook his head vigorously. "No, it's decades... still not right, tens of thousands of years? No, no, no! I can't... I can't remember..."

The blue-robed old man's expression was somewhat dazed, as if his memory had gone blank.

Su Yun asked, "Then what is this city? Do you have a map of the vicinity? Do you know the situation in other places?"

Hearing this, the dazed look in the blue-robed old man's eyes grew even deeper as he stammered:

"This... I'm not too sure either... I only remember that I seem to have been... wandering here all this time, never leaving the city..."

Hearing this, Su Yun's expression turned grave.

These words... were somewhat creepy!

Wandering here all this time?

Could this blue-robed old man be a Cultivator who entered the Ancient Road to Immortality to explore during the ancient or even primordial eras?

After all, his description of his own Sect was quite detailed and convincing.

It didn't seem like he was making it up.

He probably failed to pass this trial and died here.

And was then transformed into an NPC.

Could this city also have some special Restriction?

No wonder he hadn't been able to leave this place even after flying for so long.
