Su Li's Dead End, Reckless and Seeking Death

Su Li looked at Que Xinyan, momentarily lost in thought, before speaking, "The future has changed. If you stay at Wanli Holy Land today, you will also face calamity.

The way to break this calamity is to immediately go to the Blazing Wasteland, to the Soul Suppressing Stele, and cultivate diligently. There, you will find a great opportunity!"

"No, Que Xinyan, your opportunity lies within Wanli Holy Land. Young friend Su has been divining Heavenly Secrets too much recently, causing him to be overly tense. He has divined some flaws, and his words are somewhat influenced by Heavenly Secrets. You cannot believe him entirely!

You are a true disciple of Wanli Holy Land, and you have the potential to become the Saint Son in the future. In this region, who would dare to provoke you?"

Zhuge Wuwei smiled faintly, glanced at Su Li, and then repeated almost the exact same words to Que Xinyan.

Su Li's expression tightened slightly, and the dormant blood within him began to stir restlessly.

Mu Yuxi's hand tightened its grip on Su Li's, as if afraid he would speak disrespectfully to Zhuge Wuwei again.

Zhuge Wuwei had forcibly interrupted his divination of cause and effect. It was simply too much!

An irrepressible anger surged within Su Li.

Que Xinyan first bowed respectfully to Zhuge Wuwei, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Zhuge, Spiritual Master."

Then, he turned his body, which had become as round as a ball, and bowed again to Su Li, saying, "Master Su, does that mean Wanli Holy Land... is in danger?"

Su Li asked, "Do you wish to face death together with Wanli Holy Land?"

Que Xinyan replied, "Master Su, for someone as lowly and incompetent as Xin Yan, achieving my current status is already a blessing from lifetimes past.

Therefore, if Wanli Holy Land faces trouble, Xin Yan cannot leave alone.

If Wanli Holy Land stands, this disciple stands; if Wanli Holy Land falls, this disciple falls."

Su Li remained silent for a long while, then glanced back at Yun Wanchu.

Yun Wanchu sighed softly and said in a gentle voice, "Que Xinyan, your physique is very suitable for the cultivation requirements of the Holy Land's core inheritance techniques, and you are sufficiently loyal to the Holy Land. Listen to Master Su. Go now."

Hua Yunxiao shot Yun Wanchu a displeased glance. Yun Wanchu lowered his head, pretending to awkwardly ignore it.

Que Xinyan hesitated for a moment and then asked softly, "Holy Lord, can... can this disciple bring an elite disciple with him?"

Que Xinyan wanted to bring Qiao Lian'er.

Yun Wanchu said, "Qiao Lian'er, is it? She is not worthy of you. If it weren't for your sincere loyalty to the sect, someone like her would never have been able to enter our Wanli Holy Land, let alone become an elite disciple."

Que Xinyan shook his head, a gentle look in his eyes, and murmured, "No matter what others think of her, in my heart, she is the most beautiful fairy. I like her, and it has nothing to do with whether she likes me back. For someone as lowly as an ant like me, it is already a great happiness to have a fairy to admire.

In the past, I wouldn't even have had the courage to like her..."

As Que Xinyan spoke, his expression became dejected and self-reproachful. He lowered his head, his fat, dark, and ugly face filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, Spiritual Master Zhuge, Senior Hua, and Holy Lord, I'm sorry Master Su. At a time of life and death for the sect, I am still caught up in personal affections. I have disappointed you all."

Su Li's heart ached slightly, though he couldn't quite pinpoint why.

He took out six cold stalks and performed a divination for Que Xinyan on the spot. The divination hexagram showed the "Heaven and Earth Pi" hexagram.

The Pi hexagram signifies that all matters are unfavorable, but if one remains cautious and patient, prosperity can come from adversity.

If Que Xinyan truly went to the Blazing Wasteland, this journey might actually bring a turning point.

Su Li pulled up his Life Archive and checked it. In terms of Destiny, there were no signs of impending doom.

"Silly child, go. If... if Wanli Holy Land is truly gone, remember to cultivate well and pass down the inheritance of Wanli Holy Land. Don't let it be broken! As for avenging us, there's no need for that."

Yun Wanchu patted Que Xinyan's shoulder, his words filled with earnestness.

He did not look at Hua Yunxiao's expression, partly out of fear, and partly because he was afraid that if he saw it, Que Xinyan wouldn't be able to leave.

Que Xinyan listened silently, then knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed three times to Yun Wanchu.

Then, with great resolve, he turned and left.

"The Blazing Wasteland has already become a dead land. Going there is a dead end! Young friend Su, since you have already fallen into a state of qi deviation, why are you still forcing yourself to divine, causing your divined information to be chaotic and misleading others?!"

Zhuge Wuwei spoke again, his tone somewhat cold.

Que Xinyan paused, turned back, and still bowed to Zhuge Wuwei, respectfully saying, "Senior Zhuge, thank you for your kind guidance. Xin Yan appreciates your intentions. This life of Xin Yan originally belonged to Master Su. If not for that, Xin Yan would have already died when the giant stele descended from the heavens.

Senior, Xin Yan will take his leave now."

Que Xinyan said this, bowed again, and then resolutely turned and flew away.

He left very decisively.

Su Li looked at Que Xinyan's current mental activity in his archive information and felt a slight sense of comfort in his heart.

"Master Su, your sharpness is too great, overshadowing that Zhuge Spiritual Master, so he has begun to target you. Master Su, you must take good care of yourself."

"Holy Lord, you are not only the Holy Lord and Xin Yan's master, but also the father figure in Xin Yan's heart. However, this calamity is too great, and Xin Yan's hidden Yin Spirit talent had a premonition last night. Once caught in this calamity, it will surely bring about immense disaster. Therefore, since you have asked Xin Yan to leave, Xin Yan will not insist.

Xin Yan will strive to endure, bear humiliation, and survive. One day, he will surely carry forward the inheritance of Wanli Holy Land and avenge you, Master! At that time, he will not disappoint you, Master!"

"Lian'er, wait for me. I will definitely protect you during this crisis..."

Que Xinyan left. Zhuge Wuwei coughed softly and said, "Young friend Su, please don't waste your efforts. In the cultivation of Heavenly Secrets, it's not the more you divine, the better. You must know when to stop and not be too sharp!"

Su Li frowned and said coldly, "When Hua Yunxiao went to the Blazing Wasteland, he was about to encounter a giant stele descending from the heavens. Where was Spiritual Master Zhuge?"

Zhuge Wuwei looked displeased. "Young friend Su seems to have a heavy aura of malevolence. We who cultivate the Way of Heavenly Secrets should not possess such malevolence!"

As soon as Zhuge Wuwei finished speaking, Su Li suddenly heard different voices: "Little brat, you don't know your place! You dare to harbor malevolence? What, you want to grow up and get revenge? You won't get the chance!"

Su Li said, "I apologize, but the Heavenly Secrets of Spiritual Master Zhuge and I are not the same! What I cultivate is not your Way of Heavenly Secrets! Our paths are different, and we cannot plan together!"

Su Li said, and then added, "Does Spiritual Master Zhuge think I, Su Li, am courting death? Do you intend to secretly attack me again, directly injuring my internal organs so I don't get a chance to grow?"

Su Li's words immediately exposed Zhuge Wuwei's thoughts!

This time, it was in broad daylight, and everyone could hear him.

After Su Li finished speaking, Zhuge Wuwei's heart also tightened—this brat can deduce my thoughts? Such heaven-defying talent and ability? What a sharp-tongued brat, once I suppress you and bring you back to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, I'll make you pay!

Though he thought this, he still sneered and said, "Ignorant junior, how laughable. My Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, with its Heavenly Secrets spanning across everything, controlling karma, why would it bother with an ignorant junior like you?"

Su Li's 'Reasoning to Convince' ability activated again, allowing him to hear Zhuge Wuwei's thoughts once more. Thus, he directly exposed him, coldly laughing, "Is that so? Then why are you, Spiritual Master Zhuge, still shocked that I can deduce your thoughts, and still want to suppress me, bring me back to your Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and then invade my memories to steal my opportunities?"

As soon as Su Li said this, Zhuge Wuwei's breathing hitched.

Following that, even Hua Yunxiao's expression tightened, showing a look of surprise.

However, he hid it well and didn't show it—but Su Li had already detected through the Life Archive System that Hua Yunxiao had begun to doubt Zhuge Wuwei.

In Hua Yunxiao's view, he was supposed to hand Su Li over to Hua Lingshang for soul possession!

If this Zhuge Wuwei were to snatch Su Li away midway and use him for soul refinement, how would Old Ancestor Hua Lingshang be revived?

This was too damn shady!

So, you, Zhuge Wuwei, were rushing to find Zhuge Qingchen because you had designs on Su Li?

Therefore, the so-called cooperation with my Hua Clan's Old Ancestor was this level of sincerity?

Saying nice things to my face, but secretly plotting behind my back? Stealing the fruits of my Hua Clan's labor?

Su Li sensed that Hua Yunxiao no longer trusted Zhuge Wuwei, and that this cooperation had already developed a rift. His heart immediately felt much lighter.

At this moment, a brand new Heavenly Secrets message popped up on the system panel.

[Reasoning to Convince, exposing Zhuge Wuwei's hypocritical facade, gained 7661 Heavenly Secrets Value.]

[Reasoning to Convince, exposing Zhuge Wuwei's hypocritical facade, gained 8129 Heavenly Secrets Value.]

Upon seeing this, Su Li felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood, his whole body feeling refreshed and vindicated.

That feeling was far beyond mere 'satisfaction'!

Just then, Zhuge Wuwei felt a sudden, inexplicable palpitation.

In that instant, his mind momentarily lost control, and he felt an urge to directly obliterate Su Li!

Therefore, his expression turned grim and cold, and then, without hesitation, he gathered the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, unleashing a terrifying aura that swept towards Su Li.

"Brat, don't spout nonsense, the dignity of a Spiritual Master cannot be insulted! Kneel before me!"

He shouted sternly.

Su Li was about to activate the Wind Spirit Dust Avoiding Armor to block, but at this moment, Mu Yuxi immediately stepped forward, standing in front of Su Li.

At the same moment, Zhuge Qingchen also darted out, raising his hand and throwing a Heavenly Secrets Token, which transformed into a shield, blocking Zhuge Wuwei's attack.

"Master, your disciple owes Master Su a favor. Master, is this enough?"

As Zhuge Qingchen spoke, he slapped himself across the face.

"Pfft—"

Half of the bones in his face shattered on the spot, and half of his face was pulverized by that palm strike.

Mu Yuxi, who had already moved to stand in front of Su Li, silently retracted the Golden Core Spiritual Qi she had summoned and retreated to Su Li's side.

Hua Ziyan's eyes widened, and she bit her lip tightly, giving her father, Hua Yunxiao, a look of slight reproach.

Hua Yunxiao's expression was quite uncertain, his gaze filled with a complex emotion.

Fang Yueheng, Yun Qingxuan, Yun Qinghong, and the others all had different expressions.

The scene suddenly fell completely silent.

Su Li's heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Master, is this enough? If not, I'll do more!"

Zhuge Qingchen was about to strike again.

"Enough! You scoundrel! It seems I've been too lenient with you all these years!"

Zhuge Wuwei stared coldly at Zhuge Qingchen.

"Heh, Master, it's been over thirty years. In these thirty-plus years, you've been too impatient, and your thinking has gone astray, but you yourself haven't realized it!

Master Su reluctantly agreed to take Qingchen as a registered disciple yesterday, after Qingchen's persistent pleading.

Although it was reluctant, Master Su has been guiding me diligently. It's just that Qingchen himself lacks ability and is not living up to expectations!

Therefore, Master Su is also Qingchen's Master.

Master, you are being so aggressive, disregarding your own cultivation level, and bullying a junior who is only eighteen years old. Is this how our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion conducts itself?"

Zhuge Qingchen, with blood streaming from his mouth, still spoke word by word, his imposing manner undiminished: "The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is no longer what it used to be. But I hope that within the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, some of the original, pure Heavenly Secrets can still be preserved!

If there are none left, then I must make myself truly embody Heavenly Secrets! Truly, have a clear conscience!"

Zhuge Qingchen's words were so resounding that they delivered a significant spiritual shock to everyone present!

Even the inexplicably agitated and suppressed anger of Zhuge Wuwei gradually subsided.

His expression was grim, yet it contained a formidable and terrifying aura, like Mount Tai pressing down.

At that moment, even Su Li, unaffected by the laws, felt the heavens and earth dim considerably, as if facing a majestic mountain.

"The catastrophe is approaching, and you—you truly understand nothing!"

Zhuge Wuwei rebuked sharply, then raised his hand to cast a Heavenly Secrets shielding technique, enveloping Zhuge Qingchen so that no one else could hear what he was about to say.

"In the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, no one doesn't want to contain Heavenly Secrets and be filled with pure energy! But the world is inherently murky!

Furthermore, I, your master, did not deliberately target this person. It's just that his method of deducing Heavenly Secrets is extremely peculiar and has extremely important implications for the catastrophe!

It is crucial that this is held by my Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!

If it falls into the hands of others, can you imagine the consequences?"

"What, afraid these words will be overheard? Do you think I really don't know what you've been doing all these years? Don't give me these high-sounding excuses! Ultimately, Brother Li, Su Li is only eighteen years old!

Is Master absolutely certain he doesn't have a master?

Is Master absolutely certain he doesn't have an earth-shattering power behind him?

Master, you don't need to say more! If Master still doesn't let go, Qingchen will use the Heavenly Secrets Divine Stone to request the Holy Ancestor's judgment!"

Zhuge Qingchen refused to back down.

Zhuge Wuwei cast a cold glance at Zhuge Qingchen, his eyes filled with deep disappointment: "Fine, since that's the case, then I, your master, will no longer interfere in this matter!"

Only then did Zhuge Qingchen breathe a sigh of relief and say, "Master, Qingchen doesn't mean to make things difficult for you, it's truly--"

Zhuge Wuwei snorted lightly and said, "You don't need to say more. You are young and vigorous, full of youthful ambition. There are some things you simply don't understand yet! But time will prove that everything I have done is correct!"

Zhuge Wuwei seemed to have compromised.

Only then did Zhuge Qingchen relax.

Immediately, he waved his hand, channeling Heavenly Secrets power, and dispelled Zhuge Wuwei's barrier. He then turned to explain to Su Li.

But, at this very moment, Zhuge Wuwei struck like lightning, fiercely slamming a palm onto the back of Zhuge Qingchen's head.

"Bang—"

Zhuge Qingchen's head jolted, and he immediately fell forward stiffly.

Then, Zhuge Wuwei reached out and grabbed Zhuge Qingchen by the scruff of his neck, taking the Universe Ring from his finger.

Next, a large amount of Heavenly Secrets power surged from Zhuge Wuwei's hand. The Heavenly Secrets power converged, emitting a brilliant light that enveloped Zhuge Qingchen.

In an instant, Zhuge Qingchen's figure vanished within the light, having been collected by Zhuge Wuwei into a special magical artifact.

"My apologies, this disciple was a bit disobedient and violated the rules of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. He needs to be confined for a period to reflect properly!"

Zhuge Wuwei spoke indifferently, his terrifying aura temporarily restrained.

Then, he looked at Su Li and said, "Young friend Su, it seems you have strong opinions? Very dissatisfied? You think I would harm you? How about we discuss it again in detail?"

Zhuge Wuwei had dropped all pretense, his words now sharp and cold.
