Chapter 171
The matter concerning the Bai Family was merely dealt with casually by Su Yuan, without affecting the entire Bai Family.
After all, Bai Shilin actually lived a pretty good life in the Bai Family; otherwise, he wouldn't have developed such a warm-hearted nature. It was only in the period before the aptitude test that he clashed with the main branch members of the Bai Family.
Now that everyone involved has been punished, Su Yuan didn't pursue the matter further.
"The indigenous peoples of the Evolution World are all intelligent life forms; they possess their own emotions and cognition, and are essentially no different from humans."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
Whether it's the Shattering the Void World or the current World of Divine Bodies, every native inhabitant is no different from a real life.
"Continue to comprehend the divine body."
Su Yuan collected his thoughts and began to sense the subtle changes within his divine body, which would provide help and benefit when he opened up his Inner World future.
"My Bai Family has finally overcome this difficult time."
City Lord's Mansion, the Bai Lineage patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing the city lord's attitude, the Bai Lineage patriarch realized he was terribly wrong; Bai Shilin was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
"However, this experience might be an opportunity for the Bai Family to rise again."
The Bai Lineage patriarch took a deep breath, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.
More than ten young members of the Bai Family died, along with an elder with the strength of a third-tier clan.
This was indeed a blow to the Bai Family, but they also reconciled with the Bai Family Bai Shilin.
Given the strength Su Yuan has currently displayed, as long as the Bai Family doesn't court disaster, who in Luoyang City would dare to provoke Bai Family?
"Bai Housu, immediately appoint Bai Housu as the head of the Bai Lineage."
The Bai Lineage patriarch immediately returned to the clan and found Bai Housu.
"What? I'm going to be the clan leader?" Bai Housu was a little confused. He was struggling with how to deal with the suppression he was receiving from the Lineage elders.
Not long ago, his own actions in speaking up for Bai Shilin had made it difficult for Bai Shilin to move an inch within the clan.
But now? The clan chief personally approached him and asked him to become the new clan chief?
"Hou Su, you must remember, all of this is because of Shi Lin. I remember you had a good relationship with Shi Lin, right?" The Bai Lineage patriarch looked at Bai Housu with a gentle expression.
"Because of Shi Lin?" Bai Housu suddenly remembered the rumor he had just heard. It was said that Bai Shilin had plundered the Bai Family's Spirit Herb Pavilion and was incredibly powerful, even the director of the Patrol Bureau's Office treated him with respect.
At the time, Bai Housu did not believe it, thinking it was fake news. He did not have a high position in the Lineage and it was difficult for him to obtain much real information.
But now it seems...?
Looking at the gentle-tongued Bai Lineage patriarch, Bai Housu couldn't help but wonder: could that rumor be true?
"It's... it's alright," Bai Housu stammered.
"That's good enough." The Bai Lineage patriarch nodded and said, "Prepare to succeed as patriarch."
Bai Housu was of average talent, and even if he devoted his entire life to it, his chances of becoming a second-tier expert were slim. However, he had a good relationship with Bai Shilin.
It was Bai Shilin himself who revealed the candidate for the next patriarch of the Bai Family.
In this case, even if Bai Housu is a pig, he would still be the first patriarch in the history of the Bai Family to be a pig.
Time passed.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
In the secluded cultivation room of the City Lord's Mansion, where Su Yuan was in seclusion.
Su Yuan looked at the Lord of Luoyang City standing beside him and said, "You've remembered everything I told you to remember, haven't you?"
Two days ago, Su Yuan sought out the Lord of Luoyang City for today's plan: to have him lure a genius late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform to the City Lord's Mansion.
That genius, a late-stage Starry Sky Lifeform named Xuan Ming, possessed a Great Cycle of Cosmic Power composed of four cosmic forces: Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.
The cycle constructed by the Great Universe forces of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, while not as powerful as the Great Cycle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, still has its merits and is well-suited for integration into Su Yuan's grand cycle.
However, Xuan Ming has several trump cards up his sleeve, and if Su Yuan were to make a direct move, it would take him most of the day to take him down.
After all, Su Yuan's current strength is only at the seventh level, just one level higher than Xuan Ming.
That's why the Lord of Luoyang City was asked to lure the other party over, and then launch a surprise attack.
This is also the simplest way to win over Xuan Ming, as provided by the Grey Mirror.
"I've got it."
The Lord of Luoyang City swallowed hard.
After two days of investigation, he also learned about Xuan Ming's background.
It is a core direct descendant of a major power within the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire.
The Dongyou Galactic Human Empire is one of the Intermediate Galactic Human Empire in the universe, comparable to the Canglan Galactic Human Empire.
And Xuan Ming's faction ranks among the top 100 in the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire.
This made the Lord of Luoyang City tremble. If he had a choice, he would never dare to scheme against a prodigy like Xuan Ming.
But Su Yuan was right beside him watching, and over the past two days, the Lord of Luoyang City had gained a deeper understanding of Su Yuan's strength.
Seventh rank.
Su Yuan is at least a seventh-tier expert.
Killing someone of this level would be too easy.
So.
The Lord of Luoyang City had only two choices.
One possibility is that if you follow Su Yuan's instructions, you might not die.
Secondly, refusing Su Yuan's orders would mean certain death.
The Lord of Luoyang City naturally chose the former.
"Go."
Su Yuan spoke calmly.
He had already foreseen the outcome; the Lord of Luoyang City had successfully lured Xuan Ming over.
"Good."
The Lord of Luoyang City composed himself, then turned and left.
At the same time.
At the city gate of Luoyang City.
A young man dressed in magnificent robes stepped out.
The young man's robes were covered with intricate patterns, subtly containing a cycle of several cosmic forces. If one were knowledgeable, one would know that this robe was a life-saving item. Once activated, the internal cosmic force cycle would begin, making it difficult for anyone below the eighth rank to be harmed in the slightest.
"I have created a cosmic cycle of energy using Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, which is incredibly stable. However, to gain a deeper understanding of the power of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, I still need to rely on external forces."
The young man was Xuan Ming. He glanced at the many native inhabitants of Luoyang City, a hint of violence flashing in his eyes. "With my talent, I haven't been able to advance any further."
Xuan Ming felt a surge of murderous desire, wanting to vent it, and this Luoyang City seemed like a good option.
It wasn't a large city, so even if he slaughtered it, it wouldn't have much of an impact.
Empire Citizen players, especially members of powerful factions like Xuan Ming, have always regarded the natives as ants, readily slaughtering entire cities and territories, and even disregarding most Empire Citizen players.
In the eyes of people like Xuan Ming, it is only natural for the strong to slaughter the weak.
Just as Xuan Ming was considering whether to take action, a voice suddenly came from not far away, "Is that Young Master Xuan Ming?"
"Um?"
Xuan Ming turned his head and saw the Lord of Luoyang City with a look of surprise on his face.
Do you know me?
Xuan Ming wasn't surprised. As a direct descendant of a powerful force, he usually liked to act in a high-profile manner. At least in the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire, there were very few beings from the later-stage Starry Sky Lifeform didn't know him.
Within the World of Divine Bodies, his appearance had long been public knowledge, so it was perfectly normal for him to be recognized.
"Several years ago, Young Master Xuan Ming single-handedly..."
The Lord of Luoyang City immediately began to boast, claiming that Su Yuan had taught him how to speak from the very first sentence.
"Um"
Xuan Ming nodded slightly, judging that the Lord of Luoyang City in front of him should also be a citizen of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire, otherwise he wouldn't know so much about him.
"Young Master Xuan Ming, what about those treasures you offered as rewards for?" The Lord of Luoyang City hesitated.
"Oh?" Xuan Ming opened his eyes for the first time and looked at the Lord of Luoyang City. The treasures he offered as rewards were all helpful to his cultivation, such as the legendary Undying Divine Herb.
"I was fortunate enough to obtain a rare Earth-Fire Exotic Flower," the Lord of Luoyang City said hesitantly.
"The Earth-Fire Exotic Flower?" Xuan Ming pondered. The Earth-Fire Exotic Flower was Undying Divine Herb, but it was still of great help to him, as it could promote a more harmonious circulation of his own cosmic power.
"Don't worry, not a single penny of the 80 billion will be short."
Xuan Ming glanced at the Lord of Luoyang City and spoke.
"Good."
The Luoyang City breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll go back and get it now."
"Go back and get it?"
Xuan Ming thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
The Earth-Fire Exotic Flower contains a cycle of the two cosmic forces of earth and fire. Xuan Ming was worried that something unexpected might happen, so he decided to go there himself.
"Alright." The Lord of Luoyang City nodded immediately.
At the same time, he was incredibly amazed. Had Xuan Ming really come with him so easily?
Soon.
The Lord of Luoyang City then brought Xuan Ming to the City Lord's Mansion.
"The Earth-Fire Exotic Flower is a rare and precious treasure; I've placed it in the safest place." The Luoyang City continued to lead the way, arriving at the meditation room where Su Yuan was.
"Um."
Xuan Ming nodded.
With a soft rustling sound, the door to the meditation room slowly opened.
"Wrong?"
Xuan Ming's expression suddenly changed, and his gaze towards the Luoyang City was filled with rage. "You dare to lie to me!"
Even after the door to the meditation room was opened, he still didn't sense any fluctuations in the cosmic forces of earth and fire, clearly indicating that there was no such thing as a rare Earth-Fire Exotic Flower.
The Luoyang City immediately tried to flee.
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted.
But the next moment, it came to an abrupt end.
Because right in front of Xuan Ming, a figure suddenly appeared.
It was Su Yuan.
"Who are you?"
Xuan Ming's expression changed drastically.
From beginning to end, he did not sense any presence from Su Yuan; it was as if this person had appeared out of thin air.
This made Xuan Ming feel a sense of crisis.
"Die."
Su Yuan remained silent, his Yin- Power of Five Elements emanating from him as he raised his hand and pressed down on Xuan Ming.
Rumble--
All of this happened too fast. Xuan Ming was caught off guard and didn't even have time to activate his life-saving abilities before Su Yuan pressed his head down with his right hand.
The terrifying power instantly shattered Xuan Ming's entire will to live.
Immediately afterwards, the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art was activated.
Su Yuan began absorbing the great cycle of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water contained within the other party's divine body.
Call!
Su Yuan immediately sensed that the great cycle of Yin-Yang Power of Five Elements he possessed was beginning to change at a profound level.
