Five Great Secret Places, Nine Nether Cold Vein

Zi Hanyue's expression froze as she was performing the Demonic Path Cultivation Method, the Heavenly Demon Charm Dance, causing her technique to falter.

She looked at Su Chen with surprise in her eyes.

"Just surprised, Miss Zi. You can continue!" Su Chen said.

Of course, if there hadn't been a reward just now, Su Chen would have liked to see how the illusion would change.

After all, the dance hadn't even begun. If he could appreciate it, he'd rather watch a little longer.

However, Zi Hanyue's exposed eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

She knew that Su Chen had not been affected by her charm just now.

She stopped making a move and spoke directly, "These five pieces of the secret location map are being carried away by the five Great Elders of the Great Chu Empire."

"But the most crucial point of the five secret locations is only known by the Imperial Daughter. This means that even with the map, you can't get the items within the secret location."

"At that time, they were ambushed by the Great Zhou's Suppression Bureau, Tianhou Villa, Privy Council, and other organizations. Three maps were obtained by Great Zhou, and two are missing."

"The two missing ones were held by the Lu Family and the Jiang Family. Rumor has it that after the Lu Family obtained the secret map, they redrew the map they possessed into five copies, which were then taken away by the Five Sons."

"The one in your hand is one of them!"

"I still have two more, totaling three. From these three, I've roughly determined the area, which should be around Qingcheng City."

"My cooperation with your father was that he used the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower to help me investigate the whereabouts of the secret location. Once I open it, I will help him break through to the Refining Soul Realm with the pills from the secret treasure."

"Now that your father is gone, we can continue our cooperation!" Zi Hanyue said, looking at Su Chen.

"How do you know there are pills in there to break through to the Refining Soul Realm?"

Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Because within each secret location are some cultivation methods practiced by Zi Yuetian, the founding emperor of Great Chu, and the pills he refined."

Zi Hanyue said with certainty.

"There are only pills and martial arts, nothing else?"

Su Chen was interested in the martial arts and pills, but he wasn't in urgent need of them for the moment, so he didn't seem too eager.

"Of course, there are other considerable treasures."

Zi Hanyue looked at Su Chen, feeling a bit confused.

From Su Chen's words, it seemed he wasn't interested in martial arts and pills.

Was he interested in treasures?

Her eyes were fixed on Su Chen.

She wanted to see something from his eyes.

But Su Chen's expression was very calm.

"To be honest, Miss Zi, what you've said is very interesting, but it doesn't move me!"

"Moreover, I've already given up the position of the Tower Master of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower."

"I'm alone now. You want me to help you inquire about the secret location? This is a fantasy."

Su Chen said.

He secretly thought, You think you're hiding well, but the people from the Suppression Bureau have already set a trap for you.

Hearing Su Chen's words, Zi Hanyue's eyes narrowed slightly.

"You can hide so deeply, you must have made arrangements within the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower."

"I won't ask about that. I just want to ask you, are you really not interested in that secret location?"

Zi Hanyue asked.

"I'm interested in the treasures, but what's the use if I can't get them?"

"I don't want to waste my energy on this, and the risk is too great."

Su Chen shook his head.

Though he said that, as long as he had the strength, he would take everything in the secret location for himself.

Why share it with others?

Isn't it more enjoyable to have it all to yourself?

"Now that you know about this, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Zi Hanyue looked at Su Chen and said coldly.

She told Su Chen this because she saw his hidden capabilities. Someone like him must have made arrangements within the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

"If you kill me, news of you being Zi Hanyue will spread throughout Qingcheng City or Lingnan Commandery tomorrow."

"I think all your plans will be ruined then!"

Su Chen appeared very calm.

Zi Hanyue's strength was at the peak of the Refining Spirit realm.

When I ambushed them, I even killed one?

"Hmm! You're very calm. It seems you have a backup plan. I don't know what it is, but it must be significant if you're this confident. I won't take the risk."

"Besides, I am your Second Madam. If I were a member of the Cold Moon Sect, outsiders would also assume you are."

Zi Hanyue said, looking at Su Chen.

"I'm not calm. Cold sweat is already breaking out behind my back. You can touch me if you don't believe me!"

Su Chen looked at her and said.

His tone was somewhat teasing.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zi Hanyue flashed and moved like a dragonfly, stepping on bamboo branches as she left.

"That movement technique is quite good. I should practice it when I have time!"

Watching Zi Hanyue leave, Su Chen shook his head and turned to go.

He had gained a lot today.

He had obtained some information he didn't know, a Demonic Path Cultivation Method, and 5 White Draw Cards.

It could be said that the trip was worthwhile.

Returning to his room.

Su Chen began to rest.

Zi Hanyue hadn't made a move against him. Regardless of whether it was out of caution or something else, it meant she wouldn't attack him for now.

With her here, Su Mansion would definitely be safe.

The matter of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower and Lei Hall was still a hot topic.

After all, the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower and Lei Hall were the two major powers in Qingcheng City.

Now, one had changed ownership and the other had been destroyed.

How could it not be a topic of idle chatter among the people of Qingcheng City?

Su Chen woke up early and went to the Canteen Hall.

However, this time Zi Hanyue actually joined him for breakfast. She probably wanted to observe him more.

Su Chen didn't mind.

They ate their meal in silence.

Su Chen did not leave Su Mansion; he was waiting for people from Zitan Palace to arrive.

"Young Master, just now Ling Tianhe sent word that Qin Tianhan from the Qin Family has arrived and has taken control of the Canteen Hall,"

Steward Fu said softly.

Qin Tianhan was not only the second young master of the Qin Family but also the successor of Shangguan Xue, the sect leader of the Blood Flag Sect, one of the ten major sects in Lingnan, and the young sect master of the Blood Flag Sect.

"I didn't expect it to be him. It seems the Qin Family takes this matter very seriously."

With Qin Tianhan's arrival, there must be experts accompanying him.

After all, Qin Tianhan was not comparable to Qin Hao.

"To think that one Blood Demon Flower would attract so many people. It's truly interesting!"

"This is probably the martial world!"

"It's just that the people from the Suppression Bureau who arranged this have yet to show themselves. They're hiding quite deeply."

"I should go and see Liu Wumei of Yuchun Courtyard when I have time. Their intelligence network extends beyond Qingcheng City; perhaps they've already tracked the movements of the Suppression Bureau."

Su Chen thought to himself.

"Young Master, the appointed time is approaching. We should go outside to wait for the people from Zitan Palace."

Steward Fu said.

In the past, Su Mengbai would greet the people from Zitan Palace at the entrance.

Moreover, this time it was the Third Master of the Mu Family who was coming, so they should wait outside.

Su Chen had initially wanted to wait in the main hall, but after thinking about it, he decided it was better to go and wait for them.

Outside the mansion.

After a while.

Three figures were seen approaching from not far away.

They soon arrived in front of Su Chen and the others.

"Greetings, Third Master, Miss Mu. Please come in."

Su Chen stepped forward and said.

He did not bow.

Coming to greet them was the least he could do; bowing was out of the question.

The old man looked at Su Chen. His appearance wasn't handsome, rather ordinary. His aura wasn't strong, likely not yet having reached Innate.

His blood and qi fluctuated slightly, indicating a stronger physique.

He then stopped paying attention and strode into Su Mansion.

As for Mu Qingxue, she merely glanced at Su Chen before following him into Su Mansion.

[Discovered Nine Nether Cold Vein. The Nine Nether Cold Vein can rapidly comprehend and improve Cold Attribute Cultivation Methods. If you can dual cultivate with the other party, you will obtain Nine Nether Cold Qi.]

"This!"

Su Chen's expression froze, his gaze falling on Mu Qingxue.

He hadn't expected Mu Qingxue to possess the Nine Nether Cold Vein.
