Already Checked

Su Zhan cupped his hands and said:

"Senior, I understand what you mean."

"I've already seen the Stone Coffin; it's indeed useless to me."

"You can continue to guard in peace. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Su Zhan did not linger, but turned and walked outside.

He would never go back on his promise, and besides, the current situation has already proven it.

There's no need to waste any more time here.

The Giant Dragon stared in astonishment at Su Zhan's retreating figure, never expecting to encounter a human like this.

In this way, he would truly owe Su Zhan a favor.

"Human boy, if you ever have the chance to come back here again, I'll do you a favor next time."

"But I can't leave the Palace yet. I'll remember that you didn't attack me this time!"

The Giant Dragon wasn't one to like owing favors, so he naturally wouldn't ignore Su Zhan's actions.

"No problem, if fate allows, we'll meet again next time."

Su Zhan waved his hand, showing no sign of lingering, and walked straight outside.

They hadn't gone far when a loud noise suddenly came from outside the Palace.

Yuan Yuan's voice, mixed with fluctuations of Spirit Energy, came through:

"Brother Su, is that you? We've run into trouble here!"

"Yuan Fei has brought his men after us; it seems they've also come for the place we discovered."

Yuan Yuan sensed the fluctuations in Su Zhan's Spiritual Qi and immediately reported it to those behind her.

Su Zhan's heart tightened; he realized something was wrong.

It seems we wasted too much time, giving others an opportunity to take advantage of us.

Yuan Fei, Elder of a branch of the Yuan Household, was one of the masterminds who framed Yuan Yuan back then.

Although there has been no evidence, everyone knows in their hearts who did it.

While they were talking.

Su Zhan had already arrived outside the Palace and saw Yuan Fei appear on the scene.

He also had two other helpers by his side.

"Su Zhan, it seems you've gained quite a bit from inside."

"If you know what's good for you, hand it over now, and I might spare your life."

Yuan Fei smiled and displayed the Bronze Compass in his hand, clearly threatening Su Zhan.

"Don't forget, I still have the antidote for the Spirit Devouring Gu' inside you."

"Do you want to keep fighting with me over a disappointing child?"

In order to save Yuan Yuan, he was forced to take the Spirit Devouring Gu.

For some time afterward, the Yuan Household's secret medicine would be needed to suppress the toxins in the body.

If not, they will die in excruciating pain within a certain period of time.

However, the effects exhibited by this Gu Worm were always a disguise by Su Zhan.

The purpose was naturally to lower Yuan Fei's guard, which is why they deliberately kept acting.

Yuan Yuan didn't even know the full details of this matter.

All I know is that Su Zhan made a great sacrifice for him.

"Yuan Fei, you're still so stupid. Do you really think a tiny Gu Worm can control everything?"

"If it's as easy as you say, come on, you can try it right away."

"Let's see if your so-called Gu Worm can really control me."

Su Zhan suddenly laughed, mocking Yuan Fei's taunts.

Yuan Fei sensed something was wrong.

If what he said is true, the Gu Worm may have undergone changes.

Su Zhan seized the opportunity and began to pinch rapidly with his fingertips.
