" Su Yi kidnapped your grandfather?" Upon hearing this, Su Ping'an's expression suddenly changed drastically, his heart leaping into his throat. He cursed the current Su Lineage patriarch as an idiot for daring to kidnap even the Divine Lord's father? Did he think the Su Household had lived too long and wanted to be wiped out?
In fact, Su Ping'an knew that the most suitable person for the Su Household to be the patriarch was Su Qingyan, but unfortunately, he had no interest in being the patriarch. Su Qingyan only cared about cultivation and had no interest in power or anything like that. So Su Ping'an had no choice but to choose Su Yi as the patriarch.
However, Su Yi is really not suitable to be the head of a clan. Under his leadership, the Su Household is gradually declining from prosperity. Su Ping'an has long wanted to replace him, but has not yet found a suitable candidate.
It's impossible to make him, the progenitor, the clan leader, right? Su Qingyan has no interest in it. Unless the Su Household produces another True God, if they choose someone with relatively low strength to be the clan leader, Su Yi will definitely be dissatisfied and might do something foolish. Then he'll be the one with a headache.
Therefore, Su Ping'an has been delaying the matter of changing the clan leader until now. He wanted to wait until the Su Household produced another True God before letting Su Yi step down. However, he never expected that Su Yi would be so audacious as to capture Su Chen's grandfather.
That's the father of a Divine Lord! How dare you arrest him? Su Ping'an has no idea what Su Yi was thinking. Was he brainless? Or was he stupid?
But to be fair, Su Yi really can't be blamed for this. After all, who could have known that behind Su Wangchuan's entire family stood a Divine Lord? If he had known, he would never have dared to grant Zhu Xiaoque's request, much less detain Su Wangchuan.
Inside the main hall of the Su Household, dozens of people were seated. Several of them were elders of the Su Household, and the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat was Su Yi, the current patriarch of the Su Household!
Su Yi exuded a powerful aura with every gesture, his gaze fixed intently on a young man sitting below him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, as if he were deep in thought.
The young man was dressed in a long red robe, with handsome features and a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, as if carrying a hint of nonchalance. He was Zhu Xiaoque, the Crown Prince of the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty!
The Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty is considered a top-tier power in the God Realm, with a foundation similar to the Su Household. It has more than one Divine Lord, so Zhu Xiaoque, as the Crown Prince of the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty, naturally has an extraordinary status.
Not long ago, Zhu Xiaoque met Su Jianxi by chance and fell in love at first sight. However, he was rejected when he tried to talk to her. Although he was rejected, he did not get angry. Instead, he returned to the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty and ordered people to investigate Su Jianxi's identity.
After learning that Su Jianxi was from the Su Household, he consulted the Emperor of the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty, who was also his father, and expressed his desire to form a marriage alliance with the Su Household. He also told his father that he had found a suitable candidate.
The emperor of the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty did not object to this. On the contrary, he sent Zhu Xiaoque with generous gifts to propose marriage. When Zhu Xiaoque came to the Su Household with generous gifts to propose marriage to Su Jianxi, Su Yi was extremely surprised. He never expected that Zhu Xiaoque would send so many valuable things for Su Jianxi.
The Su Household clearly has many exceptionally talented women, yet Zhu Xiaoque chose Su Jianxi, which puzzled Su Yi. However, faced with those valuable gifts, he didn't think too much about it and, after a brief moment of consideration, agreed to Zhu Xiaoque's marriage proposal.
Behind Zhu Xiaoque stood an old man with sharp eyes and a powerful aura. He was a powerful Immortal Venerable who was responsible for protecting Zhu Xiaoque's safety.
In the center of the hall, Su Wangchuan stood quietly. There were so many seats in the hall, but there was no place for him, which showed that he was not well-liked and looked rather pitiful.
But Su Wangchuan didn't care. Right now, all he wanted was for Su Yanche and Qin An to leave with Su Jianxi as soon as possible and not get caught.
Zhu Xiaoque picked up the teacup on the table, gently blew on it, causing the tea leaves on the surface to swirl, then took a small sip. He then looked at Su Yi and smiled, " Su Clan, so much time has passed, why haven't you brought the person yet?"
Su Yi frowned, puzzled as well. Logically, Su Lin, leading hundreds of Su Household experts, should have brought Su Jianxi and the others back quickly, but several hours had passed and they still hadn't returned, which made Su Yi realize something was amiss.
But on the surface, he smiled and said, "Prince Zhu, don't be impatient. Wait a little longer. If Su Lin hasn't brought the person yet, I will personally bring her to you."
"Alright." Zhu Xiaoque put down his teacup, nodded, and said nothing.
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door. Everyone thought it was Su Lin returning and quickly looked up. They saw a silver-haired man slowly walking into the hall. Looking at this unfamiliar figure, everyone couldn't help but frown.
" Xiao Chen!" Su Wangchuan recognized the silver-haired man, his expression changing slightly. There was no joy in seeing him again, only worry. "Why are you here?"
"Naturally, I've come to take you back, Grandpa," Su Chen said with a smile. But then he noticed that everyone in the room was sitting except for Su Wangchuan, who stood in the center of the hall, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
" Su Wangchuan, who is he?" Su Yi asked, frowning as he looked at Su Chen.
Zhu Xiaoque calmly sipped his tea, but his gaze kept lingering on Su Chen.
Just as Su Wangchuan was about to speak, Su Chen calmly said, "Grandpa, there's no need to pay him any attention."
Upon hearing this, Su Wangchuan was taken aback at first, hesitated for a moment, then nodded without saying anything more. Although he didn't know why Su Chen was here, nor did he understand why Su Chen was so confident and dared to contradict Su Yi to his face, he was willing to believe that his grandson must have his own ideas.
"Insolence!" Su Yi roared, his face grim. The pressure of the True God Realm expert spread out, instantly enveloping the entire hall. Human Heart shocked. Faced with this pressure, they felt difficulty breathing and cold sweat poured down their faces.
Zhu Xiaoque frowned, also feeling uncomfortable. After all, this was the pressure of True God, which was something he could not possibly withstand. At this moment, the old man behind him dispersed his power and enveloped Zhu Xiaoque, which relieved Zhu Xiaoque's discomfort.
Zhu Xiaoque's gaze remained fixed on Su Chen, his expression solemn and shocked. This was a sentiment shared by almost everyone present.
The oppressive aura, like billions of stars, gathered above Su Chen's head and then pressed down directly, attempting to force Su Chen to kneel. However, Su Chen was not affected in the slightest. His expression remained calm, with one hand behind his back and his silver hair dancing without wind.
Su Wangchuan was unaffected and acted as usual, able to move freely...
