#259 - The master of Xuanfeng Peak comes out of retreat
“A mere Scorpion Faction, no need to care about them.”
“If they dare to act presumptuously in the future, it won't be too late to destroy them then.”
Su Chen said calmly.
Of course, this wasn't because Su Chen didn't plan to eliminate the root of the problem.
Rather, it was because Su Chen was familiar with the plot and clearly knew what would happen next.
The ancestral land of the Celestial Race was hidden in Yao Prefecture.
And the Scorpion Faction would form a feud with Chu Fan and the Celestial Race, with friction and battles occurring one after another, causing Chu Fan no small amount of trouble.
In the end, the Scorpion Faction would be annihilated by the Celestial Race!
Since the Scorpion Faction was destined to perish sooner or later, Su Chen didn't want to deal with enemies for Chu Fan.
It was quite good to leave the Scorpion Faction to cause trouble for Chu Fan and the Celestial Race.
Moreover, Su Chen had already looted the Scorpion Faction in advance, intercepting Chu Fan's fortune!
“Third Uncle, let these things be added to the family treasury. Use them as you see fit; you can decide.”
Su Chen handed both storage rings to an elder of the Su family.
“As you command!”
The Su family elder solemnly accepted the storage rings.
He cautiously extended a wisp of his divine sense to roughly examine the treasures inside, and immediately couldn't help but gasp for breath, his body trembling slightly with excitement!
As the overlord of Yao Prefecture, the Scorpion Faction had an ancient heritage and a profound foundation. Seventy percent of their treasures were naturally vast beyond imagination!
This was a windfall he never dared to dream of!
“The Su family has laid the groundwork quite well. They just need a little time to digest these resources, and the Su family will surely rise rapidly and dominate Qing Prefecture!”
“Next… it's time to return to the Cangxuan Holy Land.”
“Calculating the time, it should be about right.”
Su Chen smiled slightly, having made his decision.
At this time, the Su family members had already begun to get busy.
Even Su Jingwen and Ye Xueqing, whose talents weren't particularly high, were in seclusion in the secret land, fully cultivating the Emperor Scripture and digesting the Su family's resources and treasures.
Su Chen stayed in the Su family for two and a half days before taking Qing Ling, Nanyin, and Qiaoyun back to the Cangxuan Holy Land.
With the Void Shuttle in hand, Su Chen's speed was extremely fast, and he returned to the Cangxuan Holy Land in a quarter of an hour.
“Let's go in together. Now that I am the Holy Son, I can keep you safe.”
Nanyin habitually wanted to stay outside the Cangxuan Holy Land's gate, but Su Chen stopped her and directly put his arm around her slender waist, pulling her back.
“Oh… let go!”
Nanyin rolled her eyes and slapped away Su Chen's restless hand.
Su Chen drove the Void Shuttle directly through the Cangxuan Holy Land's gate.
“Your Highness Holy Son.”
The Cangxuan Holy Land disciples they encountered along the way all respectfully greeted Su Chen.
Even when encountering elders, they had to greet him politely, and no one questioned Nanyin and Qiaoyun, these two outsiders.
“Junior Brother Su, Junior Sister Qing Ling, you're back.”
After returning to Xuan Peak, Zixuan greeted them with a smile.
Yun Qianxue had left the Cangxuan Holy Land and returned to the Yun family, and had not yet returned.
The task of managing Xuan Peak naturally returned to her.
Su Chen smiled slightly, chatted with Zixuan for a while, and took Qing Ling and the other two girls back to his cave, where he began to wait quietly.
Seven days passed in a flash.
Boom!
Suddenly, deep within Xuan Peak, a powerful aura soared into the sky, and a brilliant moon radiance rose slowly, completely covering the clear blue sky, dazzling and illuminating heaven and earth!
“What's going on?”
“What an astonishing phenomenon!”
“That direction… it's Xuan Peak again!”
The many experts of the Cangxuan Holy Land were instantly alarmed, all revealing expressions of surprise, and immediately soared into the air, rushing towards Xuan Peak.
Although this phenomenon was astonishing, they were already used to it.
“This is… Master! Master is about to come out of seclusion!”
Zixuan, who was guiding the new Xuan Peak disciples in their cultivation, suddenly froze, her delicate body trembling, revealing a look of mixed surprise and joy!
She immediately soared into the air, rushing towards the depths of Xuan Peak.
“What kind of phenomenon is this again?”
Nanyin revealed a stunned expression, lost in thought.
Su Chen's expression remained unchanged, having expected this.
“Beixue, Qiaoyun, stay here and don't move.”
“Qing Ling, come with me to pay respects to the Xuan Peak Peak Master.”
Su Chen instructed, taking Qing Ling's small hand and leaving the cave.
When Su Chen and Qing Ling joined Xuan Peak, Zixuan accepted them as disciples on behalf of her master.
Therefore, the two were nominally disciples of the Xuan Peak Peak Master, and also Zixuan's junior brothers and sisters.
“This phenomenon was caused by the Xuan Peak Peak Master?”
Nanyin was somewhat surprised, pondering.
In the depths of Xuan Peak.
Zixuan, with a face full of joy and anticipation, stood guard outside a courtyard.
Surrounding her were many Cangxuan Holy Land elders and Saint Realm ancestors.
“Lingyue has been in seclusion for so many years, she's finally about to come out.”
“Such an astonishing phenomenon… could it be that she has finally broken through to the Saint Realm?”
“It should be so. Before going into seclusion, she was already at the ninth level of the Monarch Realm. Moreover, she obtained an opportunity from the ancient Great Emperor's tomb, so breaking through to the Saint Realm is not difficult.”
“Alas… the tragedy that happened in the past almost drove Junior Sister Ling into madness. I don't know how she is now…”
“The events of that year were not entirely her fault, alas…”
Many Holy Land elders and ancestors were whispering.
Mentioning the tragedy that happened at Xuan Peak a hundred years ago, they all sighed endlessly.
In their nervous and expectant gazes, the boundless moonlight dissipated, replaced by an astonishing chill that spread out from the courtyard, as if capable of freezing all things!
The courtyard door slowly opened, and the Xuan Peak Peak Master, Lingyue, walked out.
What came into view was a head of snow-white hair, almost touching the ground.
She wore blue and white clothes, her face was beautiful, and she looked like a young girl of eighteen or nineteen, with a crescent moon mark on her forehead.
Her eyes flowed with strands of moonlight, and her face was cold.
“Master! You, you have finally come out of seclusion…”
Zixuan was extremely excited, her voice trembling slightly.
If there weren't so many people watching, she would have already rushed forward to hug Lingyue.
Lingyue looked at Zixuan, and a little emotional color finally appeared in those cold and ruthless eyes.
“You are… Zixuan?”
“You've grown so big…”
Lingyue's voice was hoarse, and she reached out her palm, gently stroking Zixuan's head.
Her eyes were somewhat dazed, the little girl who used to follow behind her in her memory gradually overlapping with Zixuan in front of her.
“Master, Master, wait for me…”
“Master! Save me!!”
“No—”
“Master! I don't want to die, ah ah ah—”
“Junior Sister, live on…”
Suddenly, familiar faces appeared before her eyes, and the shrill screams that were like a nightmare echoed in her ears!
The scene of the Xuan Peak members being devoured by great terror and great strangeness in front of her in the dim underground palace constantly surfaced!
“No!!”
“Don't—”
Lingyue's eyes instantly turned blood red, letting out an ear-piercing scream, holding her head in her hands, her soul seemed to be torn apart, and her body trembled constantly.
A terrifying chill erupted from her body, sweeping in all directions, causing the heavens and earth to rumble and tremble!
