Chapter 262

"Ruoshui, come here, this is the sage senior of the Su family of Dongling!"

Ye Ruoshui had no interest in the sudden appearance of the Sage Su. She simply cupped her hands in greeting.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" The Sword-bearing Saint exclaimed repeatedly, "The fairy's beauty is unparalleled, and her talent is extraordinary. She will surely become a quasi-emperor in the future, a blessing to the Eastern Pole!"

"You flatter me, Senior," Xiao Minghuang said modestly. Then, as if remembering something, she suddenly asked, "I seem to have rarely seen any young members of the Su family in the Holy Academy. Is there something wrong within the Su family?"

Upon hearing this, the Sage Su sighed softly and said, "Alas! To be honest, Fairy, the Spiritual Qi of the Eastern Ridge is gradually thinning, and most of the newborn children are not very talented, so they have no opportunity to study at the Holy Academy."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned and said, "Is that so?"

She thought for a moment and suggested, "I heard that the Yaochi Sacred Land and the Primordial Sacred Land seem to have formations that gather spiritual veins. Perhaps you could ask them about it... By the way, they seem to have had some conflict with the Yan Yue Sacred Land recently. If you can help them, they shouldn't be stingy with a mere formation."

"Oh? What a coincidence!" The Sage Su's eyes lit up.

Xiao Minghuang simply smiled and remained silent.

She wasn't talking about some kind of Spirit Gathering Formation; she wanted the Su family to unite with the Primordial Sacred Land and the Yaochi Sacred Land, so that the three of them could divide up the Yan Yue Sacred Land!

"Hehe, I'm just suggesting that you, senior, should convey this to the clan's patriarch and discuss it carefully."

The implication was obvious enough; how could the sage Su not understand?

He immediately declared, "Rest assured, my lady, I will do everything in my power to make this happen!"

Although he didn't know why Fairy Xiao wanted to destroy the Yan Yue Sacred Land, why should they refuse if they could gain benefits from it?

Xiao Minghuang smiled, his gaze sweeping over the ruins of the city, and suggested, "The city lord of this city unfortunately died at the hands of demons. His nephew is a good friend of mine. Senior, what are your thoughts on the selection of a new city lord?"

What other opinions could he possibly have?

"I've long heard that Lord Su Lie's nephew is a prodigy, a genius of unparalleled talent, and he is the most suitable person to succeed him as city lord!"

The Sage Su praised him without any hesitation, even though he didn't know the name of the city lord's nephew.

Xiao Minghuang chuckled and looked at Su Changge, who was standing not far away. "Fellow Daoist Su, you heard that, right? Come and pay your respects to the senior and officially succeed as the city lord!"

Su Changge was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward.

"From this day forward, you are the new city lord of Duohu City. Do your job well and do not let down your deceased father and uncle!"

The Sage of the Su Clan patted Su Changge on the shoulder and said in a very friendly manner.

Yes, yes.

Su Changge hurriedly bowed respectfully, her heart filled with excitement.

Unexpectedly, after so many twists and turns, he actually became the city lord.

Although Tiger City has been reduced to ruins, given time, everything can start anew!

All of this was thanks to Fairy Xiao's help.

Therefore, he was extremely grateful. "Thank you so much, Fairy Xiao, for your righteous help. I will remember it forever. If you ever need my help in the future, I will go through fire and water for you!"

"Fellow Daoist Su, you're too kind. We're friends, there's no need for such formalities!"

Xiao Minghuang smiled slightly.

Seeing how polite Xiao Xianzi was to Su Changge, an unknown figure, Su Clan Saint's curiosity about him grew stronger. Why would such a marginal figure in the Su Clan receive such attention from the disciple of the Sun Hall Mistress?

However, none of that matters now. His immediate priority is to inform the clan leader and then quickly discuss and decide on the attack on the Yan Yue Sacred Land.

"Fairy Xiao, City Lord Su, please continue your conversation. I won't disturb you any longer!"

The Sage Su cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Take care, senior."

Immediately afterward, the Sage Su turned and left.

"Take care, senior." Su Changge also bowed in greeting.

With the departure of the Sage Su, everything settled down.

"Fairy Xiao, where is my little sister?"

Su Changge finally asked the question that had been hidden for so long.

"Here!"

Ye Ruoshui stepped out from behind Xiao Minghuang, and with a flick of her sleeve, a pale yellow light flashed and transformed into a stone bed.

Su Miaomiao was lying on the stone bed.

However, her condition now seems worse; her eyes are tightly closed, her skin is flushed, as if she is being roasted by fire, and she is in extreme pain.

"Little sister!"

Su Changge cried out in anguish, wanting to rush forward.

331. The Eye of Destiny, a Terrifying Backlash!

"Her condition is already very bad. I need to draw out the Sun Divine Object within her immediately. Don't disturb her!"

Ye Ruoshui gave a serious instruction, then lifted the stone bed with her slender hand and went to a secluded spot to cast a spell.

Su Changge looked puzzled. "What's going on?"

Xiao Minghuang slowly spoke, explaining, "You should have seen it just now. City Lord Su colluded with evil spirits and obtained a wicked technique to cultivate Su Miaomiao into a furnace to achieve his ulterior motives!"

Upon hearing this, Su Changge was terrified.

He had always believed that his younger sister was just born with a physical defect, but the truth was that she had become a furnace for cultivation!

And!

It was still his uncle!

It was his father's killer!

Last night, he went to Uncle Chen's hometown, but did not find Uncle Chen himself. However, in a hidden cave in the mountains, he found among Uncle Chen's belongings a secret letter that recorded the true cause of his father's death.

He was killed by his good uncle!

"Father..."

Su Changge gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face.

But his enemy was dead; what could he do with the hatred that filled him?

"Fellow Daoist Su, your younger sister is still young and needs your care. Don't do anything rash."

Xiao Minghuang sighed softly and offered words of comfort.

"Um..."

Su Changge took a deep breath, wiped away the tears on her face, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Fairy Xiao, I won't do anything foolish!"

On the other hand, Ye Ruoshui successfully guided the Sun Divine Object.

Having lost the master who planted the evil spell, the flames within Su Miaomiao's body became ownerless and extremely fragile, unable to resist her Innate Fire at all, and were quickly absorbed.

In the end, only that unknown Heaven and Earth Divine Object remained in his Dantian.

Ye Ruoshui could only sense a dazzling Sun Power, like a small sun containing terrifying destructive power, but she dared not approach it.

It wasn't that she was afraid of the Sun Divine Object, but rather that she was afraid of hurting the weakened Su Miaomiao.

Left with no other choice, she turned to Xiao Minghuang for help.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Minghuang called Xu Xiuer and they went together.

"Your Highness, the flames within her body have been absorbed, but the divine object in her Dantian is a bit problematic..."

Ye Ruoshui said with some worry, "If it suddenly erupts, Su Miaomiao might be in danger."

Xiao Minghuang frowned and said, "This is indeed troublesome!"

"Xiu'er, take a look, is there any way?" Ye Ruoshui looked at Xu Xiuer beside her.

Xu Xiuer cultivates the Destiny Dao and obtains the "Great Vow Sutra of the Tathagata," which also contains the Way of Karma, allowing her to deduce the past and future of all things in the world.

"Okay!" Xu Xiuer nodded and sat cross-legged next to Su Miaomiao.

Immediately, she closed her eyes and silently chanted an incantation. A mysterious aura emanated from her, and mysterious runes danced at her fingertips before falling into Su Miaomiao's abdomen.

In an instant, ripples appeared in the void around Su Miaomiao, as if a few pebbles had been thrown in, creating ripples.

The next moment.

Xu Xiuer felt as if she had traveled through endless time and space and arrived in a strange world.

Where is this?

She looked up suddenly, but all she saw was a thin, misty film, as if it were obscured by something.

"The Eye of Destiny sees through illusion!"

Xu Xiuer let out a low shout, and her pupils burst forth with a brilliant golden light, as dazzling as two small suns. The brilliant light shot into the sky and into the membrane, as if she had discovered something.

The next instant, her pupils contracted sharply, and an image flashed before her eyes.

This is a chaotic void; looking around, there is nothing to be seen in any direction.

Suddenly, she saw an arc of light break free from the darkness in the endless chaos, blooming with endless brilliance, illuminating the six directions and eight corners, revealing a sliver of clarity in this chaos.

"That is..."

But the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her eyes, as if they were being burned by flames, and blood gushed out, causing her to quickly lower her eyes.

"The backlash of the Eye of Destiny, what exactly was that scene just now?"

Xu Xiuer felt a sharp pain in her eyes. She tried to open them, but it was as if they were being forcibly held down, and she could not open them.

"My eyes..."

Xu Xiuer muttered to herself, a look of panic on her face. Her eyes had been blinded!

"Xiu'er, what's wrong?"

She heard Xiao Minghuang's voice beside her, and she quickly gripped his hand, saying urgently, "My eyes... I can't see..."

At this moment, in Xiao Minghuang's eyes, Xu Xiuer's eyes were tightly closed, and two lines of bloody tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, staining her cheeks red, making her look exceptionally beautiful and pitiful.

"Don't be afraid, it's alright."

Xiao Minghuang gently stroked the other's head and comforted her softly. Then she gathered her spiritual power and injected it into Xu Xiuer's eye acupoints to treat her eyes.

Xu Xiuer felt a warm spiritual energy flow into her eyes, relieving the stinging pain in her eyes slightly.

But no matter how hard she tried, she could not open her eyes.

This feeling is excruciating, like having your eyeballs gouged out but being unable to faint.

This is torture!

"Ah...!"

Suddenly, Xu Xiuer let out a mournful cry, her pretty face filled with pain.

"I can't see! I can't see..."

Seeing this, Ye Ruoshui was filled with self-reproach. If she hadn't suggested that Xu Xiuer help check, she wouldn't have gone blind.

"Xiu'er... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Ye Ruoshui sobbed, repeatedly apologizing.

"Your Highness..." Xu Xiuer covered her eyes and cried out in a trembling voice.

"Xiu'er, hang in there, I'm here!"

Xiao Minghuang said comfortingly.

She continuously channeled her spiritual power into Xu Xiuer's body to help stabilize her injuries.

After a long while, Xu Xiuer gradually calmed down.

But darkness remained before him; his vision was completely black, and he couldn't see anything. He couldn't even concentrate on practicing his martial arts, let alone restore his sight.

Knowing her eyesight was ruined, she cried out, "Waaah... Your Highness, I can't see anymore, what am I going to do...?"

Hearing her words, which were trembling with tears, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but sigh softly.
