“Are you Terra Su?”
Tuoba Ye’s face carried a slight smile, but the calmer he appeared, the more oppressive the atmosphere became, like the calm before a storm.
“I am Terra Su.”
Terra Su responded with a casual smile.
“I heard you single-handedly killed our Iron Armor Gate’s young master and five elders?”
Tuoba Ye remained expressionless, but a cold killing intent was already faintly visible in his eyes.
A palpable pressure emanated from Tuoba Ye, causing those around to break out in cold sweat, their breathing labored, veins bulging on their foreheads.
But Terra Su stood there nonchalantly, his breathing steady, as if the oppressive aura had no effect on him.
“Elder Tuoba.”
Sophia Xu couldn’t help but step forward, her voice cold, “Little Terra killed those from Iron Armor Gate because of me. If you have any issues, come at me.”
“Get lost, who do you think you are?”
Tuoba Ye casually waved his sleeve, sending a gust of wind that swept Sophia Xu off her feet, throwing her several dozen feet away, where she landed heavily on the ground.
“What? Madam Xu, at the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level, was sent flying with one move by the Grand Elder of Iron Armor Gate?”
The surrounding crowd was utterly shocked, especially those from South Jiang Manor, who gasped in astonishment.
They had thought that with three Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level experts, South Jiang Manor could rest easy. They hadn’t expected the Grand Elder of Iron Armor Gate to be so formidable, likely able to defeat all three of their experts combined.
“Patriarch!”
Immediately, senior members of South Jiang Manor rushed to help Sophia Xu up.
Meanwhile, Gu Qianyin and Sean Feng simultaneously released their Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level auras, flanking Tuoba Ye on either side, attempting to counter his pressure.
“Hiss~! No way, South Jiang Manor has two more Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level experts.”
“The rise of South Jiang Manor is terrifying. If they hadn’t offended Iron Armor Gate, they might already be the overlords of Clear River City.”
Joshua Wang stared in disbelief at Gu Qianyin and Sean Feng. It had only been a few days, and these two had already advanced to the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level. How was this possible? What had Terra Su done?
Thinking about how his family’s Grand Elder had failed to advance despite consuming a costly Purple Flame Elixir, becoming a cripple, while these two had advanced without spending a dime, Joshua Wang felt a lump in his throat. How could the disparity be so vast?
“Kid, no matter how capable you are, the Grand Elder of Iron Armor Gate, Tuoba Ye, is a Condensing Origin Realm ninth-level expert. You can’t possibly make waves. South Jiang Manor is doomed today!”
Joshua Wang thought viciously to himself, hoping to see Terra Su and South Jiang Manor fall, so his Wang Family could dominate Clear River City.
“Wait.”
At this moment, Tuoba Ye casually waved his hand, breaking the tense atmosphere.
“Did I ever say I wanted to kill Terra Su?” Tuoba Ye said slowly, a mysterious smile on his lips.
Everyone, including Joshua Wang, couldn’t believe their ears. What did this mean? Was Tuoba Ye not planning to kill Terra Su?
“Terra Su, I see great potential in you. Would you be willing to come back to Iron Armor Gate with me? I promise you won’t be mistreated. I’ll make you my personal disciple and provide you with the best resources.”
Tuoba Ye spoke unhurriedly, his tone clearly indicating his intention to recruit Terra Su!
He wanted Terra Su to become his personal disciple!
It was obvious that Tuoba Ye admired Terra Su’s extraordinary talent and wanted to nurture him.
A genius like Terra Su, if he joined Iron Armor Gate, would undoubtedly elevate the sect within ten years!
Tuoba Ye was well aware of this. Terra Su, at the age of fifteen, had already killed elders of Iron Armor Gate, including the Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level Second and Third Elders. If given another ten years, how terrifying could he become?
Of course, before coming, Tuoba Ye had thoroughly investigated Terra Su’s background and knew he was an abandoned disciple of the Orthodox One Sect.
Why such a genius was expelled from Orthodox One Sect puzzled Tuoba Ye.
However, the reason didn’t matter. As long as Terra Su agreed to join Iron Armor Gate now, that was enough.
“Grand Elder… this Terra Su deserves to die. He must be killed.”
Joshua Wang’s mouth turned bitter. This was completely different from what he had anticipated.
Tuoba Ye was actually recruiting Terra Su. If Terra Su agreed to join Iron Armor Gate, he would become even more formidable, and no one in Clear River City would be able to challenge him.
“Shut up. It’s not your place to speak here. Whether he deserves to die is for me to decide.”
Tuoba Ye turned and reprimanded Joshua Wang, who could only close his mouth in extreme reluctance.
“So, Terra Su, have you made up your mind?”
Tuoba Ye asked Terra Su, full of confidence. He believed that as long as Terra Su wasn’t foolish, he would agree to join Iron Armor Gate. If he didn’t, the only outcome would be death.
“I refuse to join Iron Armor Gate.”
Unexpectedly, Terra Su replied decisively.
This answer left everyone stunned.
“Did I hear wrong? Terra Su actually refused to join Iron Armor Gate.”
“Doesn’t he know that after killing so many from Iron Armor Gate, if he refuses, Tuoba Ye will definitely kill him?”
“An unexpected answer. Does he think he can contend with Tuoba Ye?”
Tuoba Ye’s eyes narrowed involuntarily, and his tone carried a hint of killing intent: “Terra Su, have you thought this through?”
“Of course, I have.”
Terra Su shrugged, “A place like Iron Armor Gate? No way I’m going there.”
“Good, good, good!”
Tuoba Ye laughed in anger, repeating the word “good” three times.
“If you don’t want to go, then you can die.”
Tuoba Ye’s fierce expression emerged. Since Terra Su had clearly refused, there was no need for courtesy. Terra Su might be a genius, but a genius who couldn’t be used by Iron Armor Gate was meaningless.
“Wait!”
Gu Qianyin suddenly spoke up, stepping forward, “Elder Tuoba, I am the daughter of the Gate Master of Star Luan Gate. I hope you can spare Terra Su and South Jiang Manor for my father’s sake.”
The daughter of the Gate Master of Star Luan Gate!
Everyone gasped. They had long noticed this stunningly beautiful woman, whose beauty shone even through her veil. It turned out she was the daughter of the Gate Master of Star Luan Gate.
This was the first time Gu Qianyin had publicly revealed her identity, causing quite a stir. Star Luan Gate was the second largest sect within a thousand miles, a formidable force even if not as powerful as Iron Armor Gate.
No one had expected the daughter of the Gate Master of Star Luan Gate to be following Terra Su!
