At this point, Wang Hou became clever.
He said, "I have a plan! Zhao Xiuxiu, Wu Xiaorui, why don't you two go to the Su Family and help find out about Su, the school beauty?"
The two women were stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
"But didn't Ye Xiao say those things yesterday?"
"If we leave today, wouldn't that be a slap in Ye Xiao's face?"
"Besides, it's so dangerous outside, are we two girls supposed to run around outside?"
Wang Hou pursed his lips and made a decision.
"How about this, I'll go with both of you! Is that alright?"
After saying that, Wang Hou looked at Ye Xiao.
"Brother Xiao! Do you agree to my plan?"
"But it's quite dangerous outside."
"Brother Xiao! There's no time to lose, don't hesitate any longer! For my brother's woman, I, Fatty Wang, am willing to go through fire and water!"
Hearing this, Ye Xiao felt a warmth in his heart.
He nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you to make the trip."
Wang Hou shook his head.
"No trouble at all!"
"Because School Beauty Su is also our friend!"
"We're willing to take risks for our friends."
Zhao Xiuxiu and Wu Xiaorui were also encouraged and inspired by Wang Hou.
They all nodded in agreement.
"Yes! We're willing to make the trip!"
"We are also very concerned about Muyun's condition!"
"As long as we know what happened to her, we'll be at ease."
"..."
then.
After Wang Hou led Zhao Xiuxiu and Wu Xiaorui to pack their luggage...
They came from the school's main gate.
It is also the only entrance and exit point of the school's Barrier Shield.
I left from here.
Fortunately, no ground monsters have entered Jiang City yet; they have been blocked outside the city by the Jiang City army.
Occasionally, a few Flame Demon Bird fly in the sky.
However, they primarily serve a reconnaissance and patrol function.
They do not initiate attacks against humans.
They will not launch a ground offensive unless they find Ye Xiao's whereabouts.
Therefore, Wang Hou and the others' departure went relatively smoothly.
They headed to the Teleportation Array in Jiang City.
We also discovered this along the way.
The once prosperous metropolis now has a much smaller population than before.
Because not every place has Barrier Shield like Jiang University, allowing one to stay there safely.
Many people chose to use the Teleportation Array in Jiang City to travel to other cities for refuge.
The authorities in major cities have also provided evacuation plans for people fleeing from Jiang City.
They were provided with lodging and food, ensuring their survival.
We'll return only after the crisis in Jiang City is resolved.
The Su Family.
Clan Forbidden Grounds.
Clan Chief Su Changqing stood before Su Muyun with a broad smile on his face.
He said, " Su Muyun, I'm so glad you chose this path!"
"This path is the ultimate pursuit of all sword practitioners throughout history!"
"To attain the Dao through the sword, to wield the sword with the heart! This is the supreme path for all sword cultivators!"
"Legend has it that this sword can cleave stars, and a single thought can sever cause and effect!"
No one is better suited to walk this path than you.
I named it: The Eternal First Sword!
Su Muyun's expression was calm and indifferent as she nodded slightly.
Before we begin.
Su Changqing said, "However, you'd better think it through. Once you decide to take this path, you'll need to sever all your emotions and desires."
"With each emotion you sever, your sword becomes faster and stronger."
You will sever joy, no longer moved by external things; sever anger, undisturbed by provocation; sever worry, undisturbed by the future; sever longing, undone by memories; sever sorrow, undisturbed by loss; sever fear, undaunted by life and death; sever terror, undisturbed by the unexpected; sever the six desires of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought; forget all emotions and desires, your heart will be like still water; your heart will be like a sword, and the sword like your heart, nothing can withstand your cut.
"Ultimately, you will reach the supreme sword realm of Supreme Oblivion, and at that time, you will become the true Eternal First Sword!"
Three minutes later.
Su Muyun nodded slowly again.
"Good!" Su Changqing took a slow breath. "You may enter the Clan Forbidden Grounds now. Inside, I have prepared a complete inheritance and trials for you. Only when you have truly cultivated to the level of Supreme Oblivion can you emerge from seclusion!"
"But now, I'm going to tell you the final price!"
"Once you enter it, unless you cultivate to the Supreme Oblivion, you will be trapped inside for a lifetime, until the day you die of old age."
"But don't worry, the family will send someone to deliver food to you every day."
Are you really sure about this now?
The words had barely left his mouth.
Su Muyun was as calm as a stagnant well, and she calmly stepped into the Su Family Forbidden Grounds.
After Su Muyun went inside completely.
Su Changqing's face did not show any further smiles; instead, a sigh and a sense of melancholy appeared.
Because he suddenly felt sorry for the girl.
Just yesterday.
After Su Changqing met Su Muyun.
Su Muyun asked her first question, "Clan leader, I hope to become stronger, preferably the strongest!"
This question took Su Changqing somewhat by surprise.
"Why?"
But Su Muyun did not give him an answer.
Instead, he repeated, "I want to become the strongest, regardless of the cost."
Su Changqing replied, "Of course there is, and it's a sword path tailor-made for you, but the price might be unacceptable to you."
Can I become the strongest?
" The Eternal First Sword!"
"Good!"
Su Changqing left the Clan Forbidden Grounds.
Outside, he saw Su Jian, who had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Su Jian.
Su Changqing asked, "Are you here for your daughter?"
Su Jian nodded. "Clan leader, has my daughter already gone inside?"
"Yes." Su Changqing nodded slowly. "I didn't force her. I explained the pros and cons to her, and even told her that if she didn't cultivate to the Supreme Oblivion, she would never be able to escape this state in her entire life."
Upon hearing this, Su Jian seemed to age ten years in an instant.
"Her... sigh..."
Su Jian sighed.
Su Changqing asked, "Is it because of Ye Xiao? Did that upset her?"
"Mu Yun has always had a very strong personality. She may look gentle and delicate, but she's stronger than anyone else inside." Su Jian seemed to have guessed something. "So, even if it's someone she likes, even if she's a girl, she doesn't want to be a burden to him."
Upon hearing this, Su Changqing suddenly chuckled.
"More lovey-dovey stuff, how boring."
"After Su Muyun truly experienced the joy of becoming stronger..."
She will understand that the pleasures of romantic love are the most basic in this world, and the highest pursuit is the path to the extraordinary.
At this moment, Su Jian listened to Su Changqing's words.
Although he didn't agree with it in his heart.
But he didn't argue back.
Because Su Muyun ultimately chose to follow the path that Su Changqing had told him about.
It can be said that Su Jian lost this round.
Su Changqing won.
"Chieftain, I have other matters to attend to, I must take my leave."
"Alright, if you miss your daughter, you can visit her once a month from now on."
"Thank you, clan chief."
