Eternal life begins with saving my clan

"Chaotic Sword Strike."

A terrifying sword intent erupted from the sword, slicing everything in its path to pieces. Before the chaotic sword intent, everything felt insignificant.

As for the old woman, she widened her eyes and her heart skipped a beat. She never expected Su Yen would hide such a terrifying ability in his arsenal.

"I'm doomed!" She muttered with a pale face.

She only felt a slight buzz beside her ear before everything went blank.

Previously, they were stupefied when they learned Su Yen had comprehended sword aura, but now, with the appearance of the sword intent, its lethality was off the charts.

Sword intent not only empowers sword cultivators to become deadlier but also allows them to fight across stages and realms. Sword intent is on another level of offense, enabling sword cultivators to cut through both the physical and the metaphysical.

Moreover, Su Yen didn't just comprehend an ordinary sword intent, but a chaotic sword intent. In front of chaotic sword intent, what was her decay principle?

It cleaved everything into pieces. She managed to raise her two daggers in the hope of defending against any potential attack but it was futile.

They were sliced into two like a knife cutting through butter.

Until death, she never believed she would die at the hands of a boy who was still wet behind the ears. But reality was different from what they thought.

Her body split into two and fell from the sky.

As for her Half-Nascent Soul, it couldn't escape the brutality of the sword intent.

In the space, a deadly sharp cut appeared in the void. Five hundred meters around the deadly sharp cut was filled with deadly sharpness that would kill anyone below the Core Refining realm.

The space was devoid of any air; everything was still. The only thing visible was the chaotic sword intent filling the space.

In the distance, the old man froze with his jaw dropped to the ground. He couldn't believe what just happened. Their terrifying leader was sliced into two as simply as it could get.

However, what stunned him into stupor was the horrifying sword intent in the space. A mere glance at the terrifying sword intent made his spine drenched in cold sweat.

He was over five hundred years old, but this was the first time he encountered such a deadly horrifying sword strike.

In ancient times, the number of sword cultivators that comprehended sword intent couldn't number more than ten, and each of them ruled an era.

With what just happened before his eyes, he realized why those sword cultivators ruled an era. With such ability, who would dare be their opponent?

"Are you done spacing out?"

While he was still trying to grasp the magnitude of what just happened, he heard Su Yen's calm voice in his head.

Gasping, his brain went into overdrive, and he jumped back with a face full of fright. Before, he was only stunned and slightly scared of Su Yen's ability.

Now, he was totally convinced, and fear gripped his mind like a devil's claw.

He retreated frantically with his face pale with fright.

"Please, don't kill me…" He pleaded.

His previous high and mighty self was long gone. The only thing left was an old man, begging for his dear life.

Su Yen didn't have any change in his expression as he watched the old man retreating and begging for his life. He knew the older human beings got, the more fearful they were toward dying.

"Tell me everything I need to know… Perhaps…" Su Yen's voice trailed off, looking at the old man who was still retreating in the distance.

Hearing this, the old man halted in his retreat and looked at Su Yen with a flash of hope on his face. He knew he could never escape from Su Yen if he were really determined to kill him.

Thus, his best bet was to do anything he wanted, and perhaps…

"Please, don't kill me. I'll tell you everything you want to know," he responded quickly.

"Good." Su Yen nodded and disappeared from his spot, using his movement skill: The Phantom Sky Step.

Whoosh!

He appeared before the old man and gripped him by the neck. Before the old man could speak, they disappeared from the sky and appeared before the half-destroyed building.

Thud!

Su Yen threw him casually to the ground and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Start talking."

"Yes. Yes." He scrambled to his feet with a forced smile and began to speak earnestly.

Su Yen took a seat and table from his storage ring. He poured himself a cup of spirit tea and listened to the rare history lesson.

After listening for a couple of minutes, he interrupted the new chatterbox old man.

"So you're saying the Ancient clans are related to the Bloodmoon Envoy?"

His face etched with confusion and puzzlement. The more he got to know about the ancient clans, the more he realized they were full of mystery.

"What could the Ancient clans have to do with Bloodmoon Envoys?"

"Yes…" He nodded quickly and continued. "But I don't know. The ancient clans are discreet enough about anything related to them. Even though we work for them, we know little to nothing about them."

"Continue."

The more he listened, the more puzzled he was. For the fact that the Ancient clans would kidnap every genius that appeared in their world and take them to god knows where.

Apart from kidnapping geniuses, they would kill many geniuses who posed a threat to their reign. Anyone deemed uncontrollable would be on their kill list.

Since he started causing a huge wave in the Zizhu prefecture and his identity was unknown.

The Ancient clans found him a threat and decided to eliminate him. This was the reason they sent many powerful experts to take him out, but each of them met their demise.

Apart from that, they took control of every known secret realm. Also, they control the amount of inheritance a clan could have.

In short, they dictate everything for the people. If they found you pleasing to their eyes, they would recruit you into the Reaper organization and if not, they would assassinate you.

In their eyes, the empire was nothing but a joke. They decide everything from the shadow.

After listening to such a disheartening history for an hour, he heard enough and raised his hand.

"Enough of this history? Tell me what they have to do with

the monster beast race."

"I don't know but what I know they have some kind of pact with them."

"I see…" His expression was unsightly but returned to normal immediately, and he asked, "Previously, you asked me if I'm from the Su clan. Why do you ask?"

The old man didn't respond instantly. He looked at Su Yen's face for a couple of seconds before he said slowly.

"There is a technique taught by the ancient clans to all reapers to identify their descendant in the hope to respect them and not to kill them when they are outside."

"When we see you, the technique gives you away. But you're not from the main ancient clan and there was a kill order on your head, that was why we have the courage to attack you."

"So….what you're saying is my Su…."

"Yes. The Su clan is part of the Ancient clans," the old man announced slowly, but it seemed he was not yet done with the bombshell.

"Likewise, the Li clan, the Zhang clan, and the Huang clan."
