Su Chen's actions stunned everyone.
Is this some kind of suicide mission?
Undeniably, the Haoran Sect is currently gaining momentum, boasting an Immortal King in charge. However, the Nine Stars Empire is a formidable force. Although they lack Immortal Venerable experts, they do possess several Immortal Lord experts.
If they really wanted to destroy the Haoran Sect, any Immortal Lord or even two or three Immortal King powerhouse could do it.
How dare they kill a member of the Royal Family!?
Li Liang may not have a high position within the Royal Family, but he is still a member of the Royal Family. If we kill him, what difference is there between that and slapping the Royal Family in the face?
The Third Elder's expression was also somewhat solemn. He looked at Su Chen, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. Killing Li Liang wouldn't necessarily lead to the destruction of their Haoran Sect, but admitting their mistake was definitely necessary.
It's highly unlikely that the Imperial Family would destroy the Haoran Sect for the sake of Li Liang, but to save face, they will definitely put pressure on the Haoran Sect. At that point, all the Haoran Sect can do is bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
Only in this way can the Imperial Family quell their anger.
Su Chen said calmly, "Third Elder, rest assured, I have no fear of the Imperial Family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tian suddenly appeared beside him. He grinned and looked at the Third Elder, releasing an extremely terrifying aura from his body.
This aura made the Third Elder tense all over, as if he were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with countless wronged souls around him trying to drag him into an endless abyss.
"This is..."
The Third Elder's eyes were filled with fear.
The next moment, the illusory scenes before their eyes vanished, and Su Chen had disappeared without a trace.
The Third Elder swallowed frantically, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He exclaimed in horror, "Su Chen's attendant... is an Immortal Lord level expert!"
On a hilltop not far from Shuiyue City, Su Chen healed the woman's injuries and then quietly waited for her to wake up.
During this time, he tried various methods to investigate, but unfortunately he still couldn't detect that aura, as if it didn't exist in this world at all, as if it had never appeared.
"Same as last time!"
What exactly is this aura?
Su Chen. He hadn't been able to sense it very clearly before because of the distance, but when the woman released that aura, he sensed it very clearly.
That aura made his blood boil, as if it were cheering and rejoicing, and his heart was filled with longing.
Why is this happening?
Su Chen took a deep look at the dirty woman. Could she be the reincarnation of someone, and that person be related to him?
But how deep must their relationship be for him to react like this? It's outrageous.
Su Chen was breathing heavily; he felt he was about to learn about his origins.
For countless years, he had no direction whatsoever, but this woman gave him a clue.
After waiting all day, the woman suddenly opened her eyes. Her first action was to check her clothes. Once she confirmed that they were in order and that she felt no discomfort, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she began to look around at her surroundings. When she saw Su Chen, she was slightly stunned, and then knelt down to pay her respects with a look of fear on her face.
"Grown ups!"
Her body was trembling slightly, clearly terrified.
Su Chen smiled and asked, "I've already killed Li Liang."
The woman's eyes were still filled with fear, and she dared not utter a single word.
Su Chen asked again, "What's your name?"
"Reporting to your Excellency, my daughter's name is Chunlan."
The woman answered respectfully, her posture extremely humble.
Su Chen frowned slightly as he looked at her. He took two steps forward and stood in front of Chunlan. He released his Divine Sense and instantly entered Chunlan's Sea of Consciousness.
Chunlan's life story also came to mind.
She was born into an ordinary family in Shuiyue City. Her talent, Fortune, and appearance were all average. Her life was like most people's: diligent cultivation, being tricked, and encountering crises...
Even now, Su Chen hasn't noticed anything unusual about his Memories.
Su Chen scanned her again, looking her up and down, but there was nothing special about her; she was just an ordinary woman.
What exactly happened?
Could it be that I'm sensing something wrong?
Su Chen was still somewhat unwilling to give up. He sensed the area from head to toe again, but still couldn't detect anything unusual.
He was now completely bewildered.
Why did that aura just disappear like that?
Su Chen said, "Raise your hand?"
Chunlan's eyes were filled with unease. She didn't understand why Su Chen was doing this, but she dared not disobey, so she could only tremblingly offer her hand.
Chunlan's hands were also dirty, with some mud mixed in. Su Chen raised his hand and touched her, and a drop of blood condensed on his fingertip. Su Chen examined Past carefully, but still couldn't detect any movement.
It's just normal blood.
Su Chen became even more confused. Everything was fine, so the problem must lie with him?
He started to doubt himself, wondering if he had made a mistake in his initial assessment.
"Grown ups...?"
Chunlan's pure and innocent eyes held a hint of fear, like a frightened fawn. Her voice trembled slightly, as if she had resigned herself to her fate. "My lord, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. I am willing to stay by your side."
She knew this might be the only outcome that would be somewhat better.
This wasn't the first time she'd encountered something like this in recent days. She'd managed to escape the previous two times, but Li Liang was too strong; she couldn't escape even if she wanted to, and was eventually caught.
She was tired and exhausted after running away for so many days.
It's easier to just accept your fate.
Chunlan forced back her tears and looked at Su Chen with an extremely aggrieved expression. Her appearance was only considered good in a place like Shuiyue City, but in their Haoran Sect or other places, she would be at most second-rate.
Su Chen naturally wasn't very interested.
"Unnecessary."
Su Chen spoke calmly, then raised his hand and waved it. Chunlan was enveloped in spatial power and then disappeared from the spot.
When Chunlan came to her senses again, she had already arrived outside a city.
Crescent Moon City!
This is also a city within Fengyang County, with a strength similar to Shuiyue City, but it is located on the opposite side, so it has basically not been affected by the Demon Beast.
Chunlan stood there stunned for a while before she came to her senses. Without much hesitation, she quickly found Small Stream nearby, packed her things, and went into the city.
Although he didn't know why Su Chen would let him go, it seemed that everything was alright now.
