Washing Ancestral Bones

"Master Su."

Hua Yunxiao landed, his energy supporting him, a smile on his face. He cupped his fist slightly towards Su Li and said with a laugh.

"You still have the mood to smile! Your Hua Clan is about to be wiped out! If I were you, I'd barely have time to cry!"

While Su Li muttered this inwardly, the smile on his face was bright. "So it's Senior Hua. This junior greets you."

Su Li said this, cupping his fist slightly and returning the bow.

"Master Su."

Yun Wanchu, like a sycophant, also turned into a stream of light and landed beside Hua Yunxiao, bowing to Su Li.

"Mm."

Su Li responded casually.

"Master Su, you are too kind. Have you been accustomed to your stay at Wanli Holy Land these past few days? Are there any unsatisfactory aspects of the hospitality? Did my little girl offend you in any way?"

Hua Yunxiao asked solicitously.

"Everything has been very good."

Su Li looked at the handsome middle-aged man before him with some emotion. If it weren't for the Life Archive System, who would have known that this incredibly handsome middle-aged man was actually a millennium-old Yao with unfathomable strength!

However, holding the Five Emperors Ancient Coin, Su Li felt that the 'Broken Bone' mark on Hua Yunxiao's forehead was a bit of an eyesore.

He really wanted to step forward and pick out that 'Broken Bone' mark on the man's forehead with a single finger.

"Master Su, Yan'er has already told me the situation of your friend truthfully. I will do my utmost to help your friend resolve this matter, so please rest assured, Master Su."

Hua Yunxiao put on no airs, his tone was amiable, and his voice was magnetic, making one feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

"Senior Hua is very thoughtful."

Su Li's good impression of him grew.

"Master Su, there are actually a few matters that urgently need to be handled during this visit to Wanli Holy Land."

Hua Yunxiao pondered slightly before speaking.

"Please speak, Senior Hua."

Su Li replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wanchu's eyes darted around, and he then respectfully said, "Master Su, your abilities are extraordinary, and your talent is peerless. You are truly a peerless prodigy in the Way of Deduction. Why not help Master deduce something else?"

Su Li glanced at Yun Wanchu, then instinctively opened Hua Yunxiao's Life Archive.

[Hua Yunxiao: Male, 936 years old. Realm: Nascent Soul Realm Ninth Layer Early Stage. Nascent Soul: Saint Infant 1 Star. Talent: Purple Qi Ten Thousand Ways. Physique: Chaos Sacred Body. Destiny: Imminent Demise (within the time limit of Control Future ability) - Infant Transformation failure. ...]

Su Li's expression slightly stiffened.

"Qian Lan, lock onto 'Hua Yunxiao', and view 'Hua Yunxiao's' Life Archive for the next seven days."

[This viewing requires the consumption of 30,000 Heavenly Secrets Value. Confirm?]

On the system panel, the number '30,000' seemed stained with blood, glaringly red.

Su Li felt mocked.

"Confirm."

Su Li tried to confirm inwardly. What if it succeeded?

Unfortunately, after confirming, there was still nothing below Hua Yunxiao's entry.

Clearly, the Heavenly Secrets Value was insufficient to view the Life Archive information for Hua Yunxiao's next seven days.

However, this time, Su Li did confirm one thing based on this information – the information indicating 'Imminent Demise' in the Destiny section was within the time frame of the 'Control Future' ability.

For example, if Hua Yunxiao were to have an accident eight days later, his Destiny would not display a prompt like 'Imminent Demise'.

This seemed to be a result of enhanced functionality after the system upgrade.

"Master Su? How is the deduction going?"

Yun Wanchu noticed Su Li's emotional change and asked with some concern.

Hua Yunxiao, however, remained calm, as unperturbed as Mount Tai when it collapses.

"How about, Master Su, you also deduce for me... cough cough, for this humble one?"

Yun Wanchu added cautiously.

Did this Holy Lord Yun misunderstand something about deduction?

This kind of deduction isn't like eating, sleeping, or playing games; it's incredibly draining on one's spirit and energy.

I'm willing to help you all, which is why I'm deducing things for you and saving you from danger.

If I weren't willing to help you, even if you put a knife to my throat... I probably still would have deduced things for you!

Su Li muttered to himself, casting a disdainful glance at Yun Wanchu. The old guy was so afraid of death, he wished someone would tell his fortune every single moment!

Su Li brought up Yun Wanchu's Life Archive and took a look. He then discovered that his Destiny had changed to 'Immense Fortune,' and he couldn't help but feel incredibly envious and jealous!

This guy was truly the epitome of caution.

Therefore, Su Li said with annoyance, "Don't worry, you are sufficiently cunning, shameless, and your destiny is incredibly resilient! You've escaped this calamity, and for a while, you'll be blessed with immense fortune. Go ahead and do anything earth-shattering you want!"

As Su Li spoke, he added in his mind: Go ahead and do it boldly, because if anything truly happens, it won't be me who dies!

Yun Wanchu's face lit up, his relatively sunny and handsome face beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Senior Hua, I already know the purpose of your visit."

"Master Su is truly a hero who emerged from youth, truly admirable."

"Firstly, Senior Hua is worried about your daughter's situation. Several people now know about it. As for whether Mu Yuxi and Yun Wanchu can keep the secret, and whether their memories related to it should be sealed or erased—you don't need to worry about this, it's unnecessary!

Secondly, Senior Hua wants to ask if the Heavenly Blood Ancient Clan fell into the trap this time—the answer is yes, but the casualties were only eight people.

Among these eight people, six were the six great Golden Core ninth-layer perfected blade cultivators from the Six-Pointed Star Illusory Array.

The remaining two were an elder named 'Yang Shouwang,' a third-level Nascent Soul Realm Grand Elder, and a genius elder in alchemy and talismans named 'Xiao Chenfan.'

And their leader this time was precisely 'Yun Yifan.'

Unfortunately, he only lost a portion of his Nascent Soul's origin and managed to escape.

That's right, he escaped under the destructive killing intent of the 'Soul Suppressing Stele'—in this regard, he is much stronger than Senior Hua!"

"As for the third matter Senior Hua is concerned about, it shows Senior Hua's thoughtfulness."

Su Li had already seen both the past and present sections of Hua Yunxiao's 'Life Archive,' and thus, he understood everything about Hua Yunxiao.

"Master Su is indeed worthy of being a 'Controller of Heavenly Secrets'! You truly amaze Yunxiao!"

Hua Yunxiao cupped his fists towards Su Li again, his eyes full of admiration and respect.

This time, even an arrogant and defiant person like Hua Yunxiao knew that he had encountered someone on par with—no, even surpassing—Zhuge Wuwei, a true 'extraordinary person'!

Such an 'extraordinary person' was worth Hua Yunxiao putting aside all his status and seeking genuine friendship with!

"Senior Hua exaggerates, I am merely an ordinary person."

Su Li said humbly.

"Ordinary person..."

Yun Wanchu heard this and couldn't help but feel amused and exasperated.

Did this Master Su have some misunderstanding of what an ordinary person was? I, Yun Wanchu, am a Holy Lord, and I still have to rely on you for my livelihood!

Are there any ordinary people like you?

Of course, Yun Wanchu only thought this in his heart; he would never dare to say it out loud.

There's an old saying in the cultivation world: it's better to offend a bloodthirsty demon than a Heavenly Secrets Spiritual Master. It refers to how Heavenly Secrets Spiritual Masters are all cunning old schemers!

Offending a bloodthirsty demon usually only leads to death; but offending a powerful Heavenly Secrets Spiritual Master could result in not only your own death but the annihilation of your entire clan!

And Master Su is definitely an existence even more heaven-defying than a Heavenly Secrets Spiritual Master!

After all, it has been confirmed several times already!

"Master Su, in a moment, that Heavenly Secrets Mysterious Master will arrive to answer your questions. Additionally, I have prepared a small gift for Master Su, which I will personally present to you later."

Hua Yunxiao's tone was very sincere.

Su Li's heart stirred upon hearing this, but his expression remained calm.

"Senior Hua, nine hundred years ago, the Hua Clan was still very prosperous, but suddenly, the Hua Clan was almost wiped out. To this day, the Hua Clan continues to face calamities. Has Senior Hua considered the deeper reasons for this?"

Su Li asked meaningfully.

Hua Yunxiao's body trembled slightly upon hearing this, and his expression immediately became solemn: "Master Su, are you saying that all of this is a result of cause and effect, that someone planned it?"

Su Li did not answer directly, but instead sighed, "The location selection of this Wanli Holy Land is also very interesting, isn't it? The layout of the Soul Burial Ground and the Dragon Severing Platform!"

Hua Yunxiao's expression sank slightly again.

He said in a deep voice, "The migration of the Hua Clan's forbidden ancestral graves was due to a rare treasure appearing in the forbidden area, causing ill omens in the ancestral land. Afterward, several guardian elders reluctantly took action to seal it... Could something have gone wrong because of this?

In fact, the ancestor has long since perished. Could its mutation still lead to the downfall of the entire Hua Clan?"

"If I say 'it will,' Senior Hua, would you believe me?"

Su Li gripped the Five Emperors Ancient Coin and retorted.

Hua Yunxiao took a deep breath, bowed deeply, and said, "Please, Master Su, guide me."

Su Li remained silent for a long time, then said, "This matter is of great importance and involves far-reaching consequences; pulling one thread will move the entire tapestry!

Moreover, it is still uncertain whether this is the will of heaven or the work of man.

If it's a coincidence caused by heaven's will, then it's merely the ancestor causing trouble, harming its descendants. In that case, one only needs to find a spiritual spring to wash the ancestral bones and then find land with feng shui for reburial; if it's man-made...

If anyone makes a move and is exposed, we will all die without a whole corpse!"
