The Su Family's Turmoil

Looking up at Lin Ming and Xiao Yi Xian, the troubled look on Su Xue's face gradually disappeared. Then, through Su Xue's words, Lin Ming learned the reason why Su Xue was seriously injured in the Monster Mountain Range, which was extremely far from her hometown.

According to Su Xue, the Jin Huai State where she lived had three major cities: the Imperial City, Liu Qing City, and Huang Yan City, where Su Xue was located.

The Royal Family of the Jin Huai State is led by a Dou King Expert, who is also the only Dou King Expert in the Jin Huai State. Meanwhile, Huang Yan City, where Su Xue resides, is jointly managed by several Great Family.

Among the Great Family that manage Huang Yan City, the most powerful family is the Su Family, to which Su Xue belongs. Su Xue is also the eldest daughter of the Su Family and the daughter of the Su Family head.

As for why Su Xue ended up in this situation, it's all thanks to Su Xue's second uncle, Su Su, the younger brother of Su Xue Su Xiao's father, Su Xiao.

As the daughter of the family head, Su Xue wouldn't normally be in danger even if her uncle Su Su targeted her. However, just half a year ago, Su Xue's father went into seclusion to break through to the Dou Wang, entrusting all family affairs to Su Xue's second uncle Su Su.

Su Su usually treated Su Xue quite well, and he also acted like a good younger brother in front of Su Xue's father Su Xiao, which is why Su Xiao entrusted the management of the family to Su Su when he went into seclusion.

As the Su Xiao Su Su, his Cultivation Talent is somewhat inferior to that of his Su Xiao. As a result, while Su Xiao is currently in seclusion breaking through to the Dou Wang, Su Su only at the Dou Spirit Four Stars.

As the younger brother, and whose strength was inferior to his Su Xiao Su Su, Su Su should have continued to conceal his ambition now that he knew his brother was breaking through to a higher realm. However, an incident that occurred three months ago completely exposed Su Su's ambition.

As the most powerful family in Huang Yan City, the Su Family, in addition to its income within the city, also owned a Mine outside the city that produced Huang Yan Stone. Huang Yan City was named after this Huang Yan Stone Mine.

This Huang Yan Stone Mine, after decades of mining, has reached extremely deep underground. Just three months ago, a miner somehow broke through an underground fissure in the Mine, and a wave of heat hit him directly in the face, instantly burning his face and causing him to faint.

The Huangyan Mine, which accounts for at least half of the Su Family's annual income, is now experiencing abnormalities. This news was immediately reported to Su Su, who is currently in charge.

Upon hearing about the anomaly at the Mine, Su Su didn't hesitate and led a group of people to the Mine to investigate the cause.

No one knows what happened to Su Su and the others he brought when they entered the Mine, but in the end, only Su Su came out of the Mine alone.

Upon emerging, Su Su immediately ordered the Mine Cave to be sealed off. The reason given was that when they inspected the underground fissures beneath the Mine Cave, they discovered a semi-dry magma tributary connecting to the bottom of the Mine Cave, which was why the miner who made the discovery had burned his cheek.

As they entered, whether it was due to disrupting the internal balance or something else, the crevice collapsed, and a lot of scorching gas poured out. As a result, of the people who followed Su Su, only he managed to escape in a sorry state; the rest perished inside, their bodies falling into the still-undried magma below, leaving no trace.

Although Su Su's words were tinged with doubt, he came out looking rather disheveled, with even his hair appearing sparse and dry. Therefore, the others did not delve into his words.

After all, Su Su is the second-in-command of the Su Family. Now that his elder Su Xiao in seclusion, he directly manages all the affairs of the Su Family. Whatever he says, the others have no choice but to believe and do as he says.

The matter should have ended there. But just one day later, the first miner who had made the breakthrough in the underground fissure awoke from his unconsciousness and revealed a shocking secret.

The miner, in the instant the heat wave hit him as he broke through the fissure in the ground, vaguely saw a blazing Yellow Flame burning beneath the fissure.

The miner spoke without thinking, but someone else took it to heart. This information was quickly relayed to Su Xue, the young lady of a wealthy family.

Su Xue was initially quite suspicious of her uncle Su Su's decision to close the mine, but considering that Su Su was her own uncle and a member of the Su Family, she knew he would never do anything detrimental to the family. Therefore, although Su Xue was slightly dissatisfied with her uncle's actions, she didn't pay too much attention to them.

But now, after being informed of what had happened, Su Xue immediately became alert.

The three who went down with their uncle Su Su at that time all had Dou Master cultivation level, and the other one had Da Dou Shi cultivation level.

If only those two Dou Masters had an accident, and Su Su had come out with that Da Dou Shi, then Su Xue wouldn't have doubted what Su Su said.

But now, even that Da Dou Shi has perished in it. Although a Da Dou Shi isn't considered a strongman on the continent, he's quite powerful here. Such a person can summon Dou Qi Armor, so even in the heat and the collapse, he can still escape.

Hearing this message, Su Xue had a bold guess in her mind. However, thinking of her uncle's usual character, Su Xue quickly dismissed the guess.

However, the appearance of Su Xue's uncle, Su Su, that evening completely confirmed Su Xue's negative thoughts.

Upon seeing her uncle's arrival, Su Xue immediately greeted him warmly. However, in response to Su Xue's greeting, Su Su Xue looked at her with a very unusual expression.

Before Su Xue could understand why her uncle had such an expression, she heard his cold voice say, "Xue'er, do you know what it feels like to be constantly trampled underfoot? Always being trampled underfoot, having everything taken first and only taking what's left for me. Whether it's the position of family head or your mother, I can't get what I want! It's one thing for your father to get the position of family head, but why did he have to take away the woman I love? I refuse to accept it! But now it's all right, your uncle has found a way to surpass your father."

Looking at her uncle Su Su, who had a strange smile after speaking, Su Xue was stunned for a long time before finally saying, "The method Uncle mentioned is the flames below the Mine Cave, right?"

"Shh!" Upon hearing Su Xue's words, Su Su put his finger to his lips in a shushing gesture. However, as if remembering something, he suddenly lowered his hand and looked at Su Xue, saying, "Xue'er is as smart as your mother, but right now, besides me, only you know about this. So Xue'er, don't blame your uncle; blame yourself for knowing something you shouldn't have."

At this point, Su Xue's previously dismissed guess was confirmed. Those who followed Su Su likely all perished at his hands, precisely to conceal the flames discovered underground.

Then, Su Xue used a Trump Card given to her by her father that sealed off one of his attacks to injure Su Su and escape.

However, since Su Su dared to touch Su Xue, he must have been quite prepared. As a result, even though Su Xue escaped with the help of some people, she lived a life of being hunted down and on the run.

During her escape, those who were covering Su Xue's escape were gradually killed, forcing Su Xue to head towards the deep Old Lin. Thus, after more than two months of fleeing, Su Xue escaped to the Monster Mountain Range.
