"This..." The people of both sects stiffened.
The dignified ancestors of Jiantian Pavilion and Tianxuan Sect, all at the Saint Realm.
Now stood properly to one side like little brats who had done something wrong, not a single one daring to make another sound.
Su Chenxiao, who had just broken through in the air, smiled faintly.
The Ascension Realm was already the pinnacle of the Lower Realm.
In a single step, he arrived beside his father and elder brother.
With a gentle expression, Su Chenxiao handed over the Scarlet Blood Divine Spear.
"Big Brother, here. This is yours."
Truth be told, his elder brother's Scarlet Blood Divine Spear was indeed quite good.
Later on, he ought to get himself a weapon that suited his hand as well.
Looking at the handsome youth before him, whose face was like jade and whose bearing transcended the mundane world.
Su Jingheng smiled and said.
"When you were little, you always loved playing with it. Now, you can be considered grown."
"As your elder brother, I do not have much to give you. This Scarlet Blood Divine Spear is yours."
Su Chenxiao's expression changed when he heard that, and he hurriedly said.
"Big Brother, I cannot accept that."
"This spear is your natal imperial weapon."
"You saw the cultivation technique I used just now. Compared to a spear, I prefer a sword."
"Take it!"
With that, Su Chenxiao shoved the Scarlet Blood Divine Spear back into his hands without giving him any chance to refuse.
Su Jingheng took the Scarlet Blood Divine Spear, froze for a moment, then shook his head with a helpless laugh.
At the same time, his elder sister Su Yaohuang and his parents stepped forward as well.
"Little Brother! Congratulations on breaking through to the Ascension Realm!"
Everyone looked at the youngest child of the family with faces full of joy and gratification, their affection boundless.
Su Chenxiao looked toward Chen Wanyue, whose eyes were slightly reddened with maternal love, and said.
"Mother."
Chen Wanyue stepped forward and gently embraced Su Chenxiao, stroking his hair as she said tenderly.
"Xiao'er, congratulations."
"These past years, you have suffered in the Lower Realm."
After spending a long while with his family.
Su Wudao finally said with a smile.
"All right, Xiao'er. Your trial in the Lower Realm has now come to an end."
"It is time for you to return with us to the Imperial Clan Su Family."
As he spoke, Su Wudao seemed to remember something.
He looked toward the people of Jiantian Pavilion and Tianxuan Sect, who had been made to stand there in punishment for a long time. His expression instantly turned cold as he said.
"But you people..."
"What are you doing here?"
The several ancestors of Jiantian Pavilion and Tianxuan Sect felt like crying.
They finally remembered us!
This entire family had been enjoying their reunion here, completely ignoring them.
It left them utterly restless and embarrassed, neither able to stand nor sit with any comfort.
Su Chenxiao looked over as well.
Ding!
The aura of a Destiny Protagonist has been detected!
A person related to the Destiny Protagonist has appeared!
Oh?
A Destiny Protagonist?
He had finally arrived.
Su Chenxiao's eyes lit up as he looked at those old men with a hint of amusement.
"System, bring up the panel."
Name: Ji Aofeng
Identity: Ancestor of Jiantian Pavilion
Cultivation: First Layer of the Saint Realm
Name: Bai Yu
Identity: Ancestor of Tianxuan Sect
Cultivation: First Layer of the Supreme Realm
Su Chenxiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Those connected to the Destiny Protagonist were actually all people of Tianxuan Sect.
It seemed the other party was indeed within Tianxuan Sect.
At this moment, the people of Jiantian Pavilion and Tianxuan Sect were all enduring Su Wudao's interrogation.
Su Chenxiao stepped forward and asked.
"Father, who are they?"
Upon seeing Su Chenxiao, everyone rushed forward as though they had seen their savior.
"Young Master Su!"
"We did not previously know that you were undergoing trials in the Lower Realm under the jurisdiction of our Jiantian Pavilion. Since this incident occurred, our Jiantian Pavilion cannot escape responsibility. We have come specifically to plead guilty!"
An ancestor of Tianxuan Sect hurriedly added.
"Young Master Su, while the Lower Realm lineage Tianqi Dao Sect is indeed a branch of our Tianxuan Sect, it has had no connection with Tianxuan Sect for three thousand years!"
"Even if you gave Tianxuan Sect ten thousand times the courage, we would never dare instruct Tianqi Dao Sect to attack you!"
"We are willing to offer compensation. We beg the Imperial Clan Su Family to forgive us!"
"Hmph!" A cold snort sounded from nearby.
Su Wudao said with utter indifference and disdain.
"You think the Imperial Clan Su Family would care for that tiny bit of resources you possess?"
This?!
The people of both sects looked at one another, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Su Wudao's expression remained indifferent as he spoke with overwhelming dominance.
"I have already made myself very clear."
"After this incident, Jiantian Pavilion and Tianxuan Sect have no need to continue existing in the myriad heavens!"
Tianxuan Sect was the backing behind Tianqi Dao Sect, which had sought to poison Xiao'er.
And when Yaohuang and Jingheng had wanted to descend to the Lower Realm, Jiantian Pavilion had repeatedly sent people to obstruct them.
Though his precious son was unharmed, that did not mean his anger had subsided.
What?!
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat at those words, as though a bolt had struck from a clear sky.
The Tianxuan Sect ancestor's face turned deathly pale, completely drained of color!
Jiantian Pavilion was a mid-ranking force among the myriad heavens!
In contrast, Tianxuan Sect could not even be considered ninth-rate. In the entire sect, he was the only ancestor at the Supreme Realm.
He had never imagined that even such a colossal entity as Jiantian Pavilion could be wiped out by the Imperial Clan Su Family at a word.
Did that not mean Tianxuan Sect was finished?
"Patriarch Su, spare our lives!"
"We are willing to bear responsibility for this matter ourselves! Jiantian Pavilion did not rise in the Upper Realm easily, and we never intended to offend the Imperial Clan Su Family!"
Even Chen Wanyue, who had always been gentle and mild, said nothing against Su Wudao's decision.
After all, as the Imperial Daughter of the Imperial Clan Chen Family, she was by no means a softhearted person.
Back when Su Chenxiao had been young, half the reason he had acted so recklessly and done whatever he pleased was because she had spoiled him.
Seeing that Su Chenxiao remained silent, Chen Wanyue assumed that her son felt somewhat unable to bear it, and softly said beside him.
"Xiao'er, this is the outcome they deserve."
"Do not overthink it."
Su Chenxiao smiled and shook his head.
"Mother, that is not what I was thinking about."
"There should still be several months before the trial ends."
"If I return just like this, Father will likely find himself in a difficult position."
Chen Wanyue was slightly stunned, then laughed softly.
"Silly child, leaving aside the fact that your divine body has already reached completion and you possess Ascension Realm cultivation."
"Your father is the current patriarch of the Imperial Clan Su Family, while your grandfather and maternal grandfather are both Great Emperors."
"If anyone dares wag their tongue behind your back, your mother will cut out all their tongues."
Su Chenxiao froze.
He stared blankly at his gentle and beautiful mother, who looked like an immortal fairy untouched by mortal dust.
For a long while, he could not say a word.
Who would have thought Mom was ruthless too...
Su Chenxiao said helplessly.
"Mother, actually, your son wishes to travel around the surrounding dao domains before returning."
Realizing that her precious son was not joking.
Chen Wanyue stared into Su Chenxiao's eyes for a long while.
In the end, she said helplessly and indulgently.
"Sigh, you are still the same as when you were little, far too fond of playing."
"Fine, fine. Since this is your decision, I should not force you."
She discussed it with Su Wudao and had initially wanted this father of his to persuade him. Yet after hearing it, Su Wudao laughed heartily.
"Haha, Xiao'er has given this some thought."
"Since there is still some time before the trial ends, and Xiao'er wishes to wait until it is over, that is fine."
"Later, I will have Elder Qing come over. With him around, nothing will happen to Xiao'er."
Chen Wanyue considered it for a while, then nodded.
Elder Qing was the commander of the death servants of this generation of the Imperial Clan Su Family, and his cultivation was at the quasi-Emperor Realm!
When Xiao'er had caused trouble in the Demon Emperor Realm before, Elder Qing had been the one watching over him, and nothing had ever gone wrong.
Su Wudao thought for a moment, yet still felt that this was somewhat inappropriate.
Thus, he looked toward the several ancestors of Jiantian Pavilion and Tianxuan Sect kneeling on the ground.
With an imposing voice that carried authority without anger, he said.
"I will give you an opportunity to atone for your sins."
"Hand over ninety percent of your sects' resources and foundations, along with a strand of Divine Soul, to my son."
"During the time my son remains in the Lower Realm, you will be his servants and must see to his every need."
"If my Xiao'er suffers even the slightest grievance, you know the consequences!"
Before you continue
