The news about the You Family spread quickly throughout Flowing Cloud City, and many people came to know Su Chen.
Those who initially thought Su Chen was a fool now only feel regret. If they had known he was a master, they should have gone to have his fortune told; who knows what kind of opportunity they might have gained.
Unfortunately, even after the entire Flowing Cloud City was turned upside down, Su Chen was still nowhere to be found.
That's just how it is sometimes.
Opportunity only comes once.
Since the You Family didn't want it, he naturally wouldn't give it to them. So he had anticipated this situation and had already left Flowing Cloud City far away.
As for the Patriarch You, his fate was obvious.
They are certain to die.
You Lin might regret it later, but that has nothing to do with Su Chen anymore. Opportunities only come once in a lifetime; if you can't seize them, there's nothing you can do about it.
However, although Su Chen left Flowing Cloud City, he hadn't gone too far. He simply came to a nearby city and continued to set up his stall there for five days.
As for why it's here...
As the saying goes, the Great Dao has thirty parts, the Heavenly Way has twenty-nine parts, and humanity escapes to one.
There's always a way out. I'll stay here. If the Su Chen You Family can find me, I'm willing to give them another chance. If they can't, then there's nothing I can do.
Su Chen simply found a place to sit and waited quietly.
Three days Past quickly.
News of what happened in Flowing Cloud City has reached here, and many people are looking at Su Chen with strange expressions.
"Is that kid? Why does he seem so out of place?"
"Strange, I heard the You Family is offering a high reward. Should we pass the message on to the You Family? Just to try our luck?"
"Are you stupid? This person is obviously a conman. The You Family hired a reclusive master, how could he be a roadside swindler?"
"But this person's appearance and the flag match the description given by the You Family perfectly."
"It's also possible that someone is deliberately impersonating someone to grab attention, given how serious the You Family incident was."
Although many people simply did not believe it, some still took a chance and went to the You Family to inform them.
Evening.
Just as Su Chen was about to pack his things and get up, a sharp, cold light suddenly shot towards him from the shadows. He could vaguely see a Black Shadow holding Short Dagger.
The dagger swiftly approached Su Chen, then suddenly stopped about an inch away.
The Black-Clothed Man's pupils contracted, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes. He saw that his dagger had inexplicably been frozen in mid-air.
This person is absolutely extraordinary!
In just that one exchange, the Black-Clothed Man realized that Su Chen was definitely not that simple, so he tried to retreat, but his body was frozen in place and he could not break free at all.
"I can't believe that someone would actually believe a con artist like me."
Su Chen's lips curled slightly upward. "It seems your master is truly panicking."
He knew why the person before him had come to kill him; the person's master was the one who had cast the curse, and the person had come to kill him out of fear that Su Chen would break the curse.
Although curses are extremely evil, there are ways to deal with them. One can find a treasure that is no less powerful than the one used to create the curse, and then open the altar again to dispel the curse. This will resolve the issue.
However, almost no one knows how to do this.
Many people today have never even heard of curses, let alone know how to break them.
But what if?
Su Chen was too lazy to waste words with the other party. He raised his hand and grabbed slightly, and the person in front of him evaporated into thin air and disappeared.
That is, at the same time.
In a dark corner of Flowing Cloud City, all sorts of demons and monsters were displayed. At the top stood three bronze statues nearly two meters tall, each with three heads and six arms, a blue face and fangs. Combined with the dim lighting, the atmosphere became incredibly terrifying.
In the very center of this group of bronze statues, a person dressed in hemp clothing, whose head was completely covered, suddenly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot.
Xu Yi... is dead!
"He's at the early Cultivation Level the Early Primordial Golden Immortal. So, you really do have some skill?"
A deep voice rang out, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.
"But what good are some skills? Even if you know You Mo is cursed, what can you do? Breaking a curse isn't that simple. You need to know what kind of curse it is, and you also need a specific countermeasure."
"You Mo only has two days left. I've been strategizing for so long; it's probably too late for me to show up now."
His eyes gleamed with smugness, as if everything was under his control.
Although You Mo seemed to be in good condition before, and his weakness was gradual, it was actually something he did intentionally.
The purpose is to wait until the curse is completely complete, and then devour it directly.
Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Soon... your Cultivation Level and strength will all be mine!"
"You Mo!!"
The next morning, a large group of people arrived at Su Chen's stall. As soon as he set up his goods, You Lin ran up excitedly and kowtowed to Su Chen without saying a word.
"Please, sir, save my father. I'm willing to accept any conditions."
Although she couldn't be sure that the person in front of her could definitely save her father, she had no other choice at this point.
Since Gu Master left, her father's condition has become increasingly serious. Originally, his Cultivation Level was only slowly declining, but yesterday he became completely listless and even fell directly to the Early Primordial Golden Immortal.
This threw the entire You Family into a state of utter panic.
The You Family's current status is all thanks to You Mo. Without You Mo, the You Family's strength would be greatly diminished.
Su Chen simply turned his head to look at You Lin, a faint smile playing on his lips:
"Didn't you say you didn't believe me?"
Upon hearing this, You Lin immediately knew that Su Chen was somewhat unhappy, so she knelt down and bowed again. "I was misled before, but I completely trust you, sir."
"Alright."
Su Chen waved his hand dismissively. You Lin thought Su Chen didn't want to go and was about to kowtow and beg when she heard Su Chen say calmly, "I always have requirements for what I do, and these conditions are not simple. Has your You Family thought it through before agreeing?"
You Lin immediately nodded. "Whatever the conditions, my You Family will accept them."
The You Family exists because of the You Family You Mo; without You Mo, what meaning would the You Family have?
