The Great Dao laws of this world were wailing.
The vast spiritual energy slowly returned to heaven and earth.
This meant that the Venerable from before had completely fallen.
After powerful cultivators died and their Dao dissipated, their cultivation would nourish heaven and earth in return. Such were the Great Dao laws of this world.
"I killed a small fry and wasted a little time. I kept you waiting."
"Let's get back on track."
"If you still refuse to hand over that Jade Pendant, I'm afraid you'll end up just like him."
Su Changge appeared utterly unconcerned. There was not a trace of emotion in his indifferent eyes, as if he had merely crushed an ant beneath his foot.
Luo Yan and Luo Qingyu were trembling all over, as though they could not accept this reality.
A deacon with the strength of a Venerable had vanished just like that!
Gritting his teeth and breathing heavily, Luo Yan said, "You killed a deacon of my Returning Unity Sect. Aren't you afraid of triggering an Immortal War?"
Su Changge truly laughed.
That made sense. The other party had surely taken him for an ordinary Holy Son with formidable strength.
He was the Divine Son of the Returning Origin Holy Land. His will was the will of the holy land. The other party had provoked him and scorned his holy land.
Death was the best way for him to atone!
"An Immortal War?"
"What is there to fear?"
Su Changge stood with his hands behind his back. The breeze stirred his robes, making him seem like a war god brimming with absolute confidence, his bearing enough to dominate the nine heavens!
Luo Yan was thoroughly terrified at that moment!
An Immortal War—an Immortal War!
A War of Annihilation between peak sects, the day the horns sounded and Dao Soldiers marched forth!
Until the enemy was wiped out, the war would never cease!
They would fight until immortality itself, until death without rest!
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, heaven and earth shattered, blood staining ten thousand miles!
That was an Immortal War!
And yet—
The other party did not care in the slightest!
It was as though he were saying: If you want to fight, I'll accompany you to the end!
Su Changge's confidence was simply too terrifying.
Meanwhile, he was only a newly promoted Holy Son. If he brought such a massive disaster upon his sect, not only would he lose his position as Holy Son, even his family would face a Great Calamity!
After pondering for a moment, Luo Yan took a deep breath and said, "If I'm willing to give you this Jade Pendant, will you spare me?"
Su Changge smiled faintly, looking utterly casual. "Of course. As far as I'm concerned, whether I kill you now is irrelevant."
But Su Changge did not think so in his heart!
You wish! I said now, but that doesn't mean later.
For now, you can still serve as a Treasure Hunting Mouse. If I kill you now, what will happen to the opportunities afterward?
You need to make use of your remaining value!
He would never make such a losing deal!
The Heavenly Dao was the most shrewd thing in the world. Opportunities that did not belong to one could not be found even after digging three feet into the ground.
Rather than that, he might as well find a free tool and swoop in when the other party found a true opportunity.
Besides, obtaining that Jade Pendant was merely to complete the choice mission.
Gritting his teeth, Luo Yan tossed the Jade Pendant toward Su Changge. "The Jade Pendant is yours. I hope you'll keep your promise!"
Hearing that the choice mission had been completed, Su Changge was quite satisfied. This time, he had completed two choice missions: one, establishing his authority; two, obtaining this Jade Pendant.
"However, this brat still took precautions against me."
The soul fluctuations on the Jade Pendant had already vanished. It seemed the soul body within had transferred to some other object.
He did not mind. Whatever conditions his Treasure Hunting Mouse needed, he would simply create them for him.
"Wait."
Su Changge called out to Luo Yan, who had just turned to leave.
Luo Yan froze, his face turning pale as hatred surged through his heart. I knew this bastard wouldn't let me go!
If it comes down to it, I'll ask Master to act!
Only after making up his mind did Luo Yan find the courage to turn around.
"Don't be so afraid of me."
"After all, I'm no devil."
"There's one more thing I need to tell you. As of today, the engagement between you and Yun Xinyan is completely annulled."
"Any objections?"
Su Changge smiled faintly and sat down in a rattan chair nearby.
Taking the teacup Yun Xinyan handed him, he lowered his eyes and blew on the hot tea. His gaze remained as still as ancient water, like a sovereign deciding the fate of all living beings.
Luo Yan clenched his fists so tightly that his bones crackled.
This is going too far!
He roared inwardly. Not only had the other party seized part of his opportunities, he had humiliated him like this!
If he did not avenge this hatred, he swore he was not human!
Very quickly, he calmed his emotions. Cupping his hands, he said flatly, "As you command, my lord."
Su Changge was somewhat surprised. He had not expected this Fortune's Child to have such patience.
He actually did not leave behind a single threat before running away?
Interesting. This was more like it for a Fortune's Child.
"Very good. If there's nothing else, then get lost."
"Yes." Luo Yan cupped his hands again in humiliation. The rage in his heart had already exploded beyond the limit!
He, too, was a favored son of heaven. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Yet he had always believed one saying.
As long as the green hills remained, there would be no shortage of firewood. Once he became powerful in the future, he could take his revenge!
Su Changge gave him a meaningful smile, frightening Luo Yan into shuddering. He hurriedly took his leave.
"Trying to be clever."
The other party had long since developed killing intent toward him, yet Luo Yan thought he had concealed it well.
In truth, one only needed to observe carefully to discover the coldness and killing intent hidden deep within his soul.
"It seems I've dealt him such a huge blow that this Fortune's Child has already placed me on his list of people he must kill."
Unfortunately.
His thoughts had long been grasped by Su Changge. The moment his remaining value was squeezed dry would be the day death descended upon him.
Su Changge quietly activated the Aura Eye once more.
He looked toward Luo Yan's departing back.
Luo Yan: Fortune Points: 196.
"Sure enough, after I plundered his fortune, his Fortune Points dropped."
"I didn't expect him to still have so much fortune. It seems this brat still has great opportunities ahead of him."
Su Changge was delighted. The greater the other party's remaining value, the greater the benefit to him!
Golden light flowed through his eyes as he activated Aura Insight once more.
Luo Yan: A favored son of heaven from Wind Cloud City. He suffered a crushing blow during the three-year agreement, but it did not break his resolve to press ever onward. Before long, he would encounter an opportunity in an ancient mountain range within the Heaven River Realm that would truly change his life.
"An ancient mountain range?"
"Change his life?"
So this had only been an appetizer!
Sure enough, Fortune's Children were favored by the Heavenly Dao. Even after all this, he still had a heaven-defying opportunity!
Good thing he had held something back and had not killed him now. Otherwise, would not all the later rewards have been lost?
Watching Luo Yan's departing back, Su Changge's lips curved slightly upward.
"Luo Yan."
"I hope you, my little Treasure Hunting Mouse, won't disappoint me too much."
