This person was also a Great Perfection Peak Emperor Realm expert, and was one of the ten former elders of the Heavenly Net Hall.
As for why it's said to be "in the past," it's because the current Heavenly Net Hall doesn't even have its old base anymore, so adding "in the past" is more appropriate.
"Yes! Elder Minghu, please represent us!"
Aside from the Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall and Mystic Bone High Person, even the Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall's sons are practically crippled.
Currently, the strongest among these people is Elder Minghu, who has the most seniority.
"Alright!"
After pondering for a moment, Elder Minghu slowly nodded.
To be honest, at this point, he no longer cared whether others lived or died; he only cared about whether he could survive.
However, since this immortal from the Su Imperial Clan had bound them together, he had no choice but to accept the responsibility in a time of crisis.
"Please ask your question, Immortal!"
Elder Minghu patted the dirt off his clothes and bowed deeply with great respect.
In truth, there was already a 60% chance that this person wouldn't kill them.
Otherwise, who would be so bored as to give someone a chance to live just by asking a question?
Besides, the only ones who truly have a grudge against their Heavenly Net Hall are Lian Ruyue and her daughter.
So far, their Heavenly Net Hall has not harmed even a single ordinary member of the Su Imperial Clan.
This person is so arrogant, surely they wouldn't actually bother with such insignificant people like them!
Thinking of this, Elder Minghu grinned, a faint smile appearing on his face, treating the following question as a routine inquiry.
"Alright, let's begin!"
Seemingly anticipating what was about to happen, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Right now, before you lies a genuine immortal sword and an immortal-level cultivation technique. If you had to choose, and could take one of them, would you... choose the immortal sword or the technique?"
"I..."
Elder Minghu glanced at the immortal sword and cultivation techniques before him, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.
However, he immediately concealed this hint of greed.
To be honest, he wanted both the immortal sword and the cultivation technique.
But since this person is testing him in this way, perhaps this person will not take the usual path.
In reality, they have no chance of obtaining either of these things.
But if I really had to choose one, I'd hesitate a bit; both are just so tempting.
For a moment, he was torn between two choices.
Behind him, the thoughts of these Heavenly Net Army seemed to coincide somewhat with those of this Elder Minghu.
The greed in some people's eyes can no longer be concealed.
If they could truly obtain a celestial-level cultivation technique, they might all have the chance to become immortals.
If one could obtain the Immortal Sword, even if one could only unleash a tiny fraction of its power, it would be far stronger than a top-tier Emperor Weapon.
However, since they had already given the choice to Elder Minghu, none of them had the right to speak.
"You haven't made up your mind yet?"
Seeing the man's hesitation, Su Chen spoke softly, offering a reminder.
"I, I choose merit..."
Hearing Su Chen's reminder, Elder Minghu gritted his teeth and made his final decision.
The immortal sword is powerful for a time, but if one can comprehend its techniques, it might help him truly become an immortal.
He was able to cultivate to the Great Perfection Peak Emperor Realm, which shows that his talent was not weak.
What if... he meant what if this person really did give him the cultivation technique?
At that time, couldn't he have become an immortal?
However, before he could finish speaking, Su Chen's voice drifted over. He rested his chin on his right hand, seemingly deep in thought, "If someone chooses a cultivation method, it means they are extremely greedy, treating others' things as their own, and even hoping to become an immortal. In that case, such a person must not be allowed to live!"
"Fuck you!!"
Although the sound was soft, it clearly reached Elder Minghu's ears.
The burly man was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale, and his whole body trembled violently. He quickly changed his mind. "Wrong! Wrong! I choose the Immortal..."
Before the words were even fully spoken, Su Chen's calm yet heart-pounding voice echoed through the void, "Choosing the Immortal Sword indicates that this person is overly bloodthirsty. Once they gain power, they will undoubtedly seek revenge against my Su Imperial Clan to avenge today's humiliation. This person must not be allowed to live!"
"I said!"
"Isn't this enough?"
Elder Minghu was already cursing under his breath.
There are only two options, and neither of them works. Are you kidding me?
But there's nothing we can do; the final interpretation rests with this person.
"Immortal, I want both of them..."
"Choosing both means you're someone who doesn't follow the rules. My requirement is that you choose one, and someone like you who doesn't follow the rules is exactly one of the people I hate the most. You must not be allowed to live!"
Thump!
Upon hearing this, Elder Minghu immediately knelt down, almost bursting into tears from fright.
no?
What are you doing?
Choosing the Legend of Sword and Fairy doesn't work, choosing cultivation techniques doesn't work, and choosing both doesn't work either?
Doesn't that leave only one option?
Choose both?
"If you choose both, it means you are an extremely greedy and bloodthirsty person. I always eliminate such people without hesitation. You must not be allowed to live!"
This time, before Elder Minghu could speak, Su Chen's voice came first.
The Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall: "..."
Mystic Bone High Person: "..."
Su Ting: "..."
Lian Ruyue and her daughter. "..."
The members of the Su Imperial Clan: "..."
The Heavenly Net Army members. "..."
Corpse: "..."
"Ah!!!"
Elder Minghu cried out in alarm, his hair disheveled, looking exactly like a madman.
This is a question a person asked, but is it even possible for a human to answer it?
Come on, come on!
Whoever can answer this question right now, he'll tear his own head off and use it as a football!
He finally figured it out.
This immortal ancestor of the Su Imperial Clan never intended to release them from beginning to end.
They could have easily wiped them all out, but instead, they gave them hope, only to crush that hope bit by bit.
He manipulated them all.
That's absolutely outrageous!
He hated it!
Of course, what he hated was that he didn't have that terrifying power.
And now, the truth is in the hands of this young man in blue!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Behind her, Lianxi, who had originally thought Su Chen would let the people of the Heavenly Net Hall go, couldn't help but laugh in anger.
Is this ancestor of the Su Imperial Clan really that interesting?
Fortunately, they are now on the side of the Su Imperial Clan.
Put yourself in their shoes; if you were being played like that, you'd probably be furious.
You... you broke your promise!
Elder Minghu's eyes widened in anger, and he pointed at Su Chen with a reckless attitude.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen raised the corners of his mouth, a bright smile that sent chills down the spines of everyone in the Heavenly Net Hall: "Congratulations, you guessed right. So... I hereby grant you all annihilation!"
After saying this, Su Chen gently blew out a breath.
Immediately afterwards, wisps of golden flame flew out from his body.
The flames swept across like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing everyone in the Heavenly Net Hall.
Beneath these golden flames, these people, including the Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall and Mystic Bone High Person, didn't even have time to utter a scream before they were scorched into nothingness by the flames.
Sizzle!
In no time, only a few wisps of golden flame remained clinging to the void, flickering and then disappearing completely.
