The laws of the Great Dao in this world wailed.
Vast spiritual energy slowly returned to heaven and earth.
This meant that the Venerable Realm expert from moments ago had utterly perished.
After powerful cultivators died and their cultivation dissipated, their cultivation would nourish heaven and earth in return. This was a law of the Great Dao in this world.
"Killing a small fry delayed me a little. Sorry for the wait."
"Back to the matter at hand."
"If you still refuse to hand over that Jade Pendant, I'm afraid you'll end up just like him."
Su Changge seemed utterly indifferent, his detached eyes devoid of emotion, as though he had merely crushed an ant.
Luo Yan and Luo Qingyu trembled all over, seemingly unable to accept this reality.
An elder at the Venerable Realm had perished just like that!
Luo Yan gritted his teeth and panted heavily. "You killed an elder of my Returning Unity Sect. Aren't you afraid of triggering an Immortal War?"
Su Changge actually laughed.
Of course, the other man must have mistaken him for an ordinary Holy Son with formidable strength.
He was the Divine Son of the Returning Origin Holy Land. His will was the Holy Land's will, and that man 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, a gentle breeze lifting his robes. He resembled a god of war filled with absolute confidence, his imposing presence bearing down upon the Nine Heavens!
At that moment, Luo Yan was thoroughly terrified!
An Immortal War-this was an Immortal War!
A War of Annihilation between top-tier sects, when the horns sounded and the Dao Soldiers marched to battle!
Until the enemy was utterly wiped out, the war would never cease!
They would fight into immortality, never stopping until death!
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, heaven and earth shattered, blood staining ten thousand miles!
This was an Immortal War!
And yet.
The man before him did not care in the slightest!
It was as though he were saying, "If you want to fight, I'll oblige you to the bitter end!"
Su Changge's confidence was truly terrifying.
And he was merely a newly promoted Holy Son. If he brought such a tremendous disaster upon his sect, not only would he lose his position as Holy Son, but even his Lineage would face a great calamity!
After pondering for another moment, Luo Yan took a deep breath and said, "If I'm willing to give you this Jade Pendant, will you let me go?"
Su Changge smiled faintly, looking quite casual. "Of course. As far as I'm concerned, it makes no difference whether I kill you now."
In truth, that was not what Su Changge thought!
You wish. I said now. That doesn't mean later.
You can still serve as a treasure hunting mouse for the moment. If I kill you now, what about the opportunities to come?
You have to put your remaining value to use!
He would never make such a losing deal!
The shrewdest thing in the world was the Heavenly Dao. If an opportunity did not belong to you, you would never find it even if you dug three feet into the earth.
He might as well find a free pawn and step in once the other man found the real opportunity.
Besides, obtaining that Jade Pendant was only for completing the choice mission.
Luo Yan gritted his teeth and tossed the Jade Pendant to Su Changge. "Here's the Jade Pendant. I hope you keep your promise!"
Upon hearing that the choice mission was complete, Su Changge felt quite satisfied. He had completed two choice missions this time: first, establishing his authority, and second, obtaining this Jade Pendant.
Still, that brat kept something in reserve against me.
The soul fluctuations on the Jade Pendant had vanished. It seemed the soul entity inside had probably transferred to another object.
He did not mind. Whatever conditions his treasure hunting mouse needed, he could simply create them for him.
"Wait."
Su Changge stopped Luo Yan just as he was about to turn and leave.
Luo Yan froze, his face pale and his heart filled with hatred. I knew this bastard wouldn't let me go!
If there's no other choice, I'll ask Master to intervene!
Having made up his mind, Luo Yan finally found enough confidence to turn around.
"Don't be so afraid of me."
"After all, I'm not some kind of devil."
"There's one more thing I need to tell you. As of today, your engagement to Yun Xinyan is completely dissolved."
"Any objections?"
Su Changge smiled faintly and sat down in a nearby wicker chair.
Taking the teacup Yun Xinyan handed him, he lowered his eyes and blew on the hot tea, his gaze unruffled, like a sovereign deciding the fate of all living beings.
Luo Yan clenched his fists so tightly that even his bones cracked.
You've gone too far!
He roared furiously in his heart. Not only had this man seized part of his opportunity, but he had also humiliated him like this!
If I don't avenge this, I swear I'm no man!
Soon, he calmed his emotions, cupped his hands, and said evenly, "As you command, my lord."
Su Changge was somewhat surprised. He had not expected this Fortune's Child to be so patient.
He was not even going to throw out a threat before running away?
Interesting. This was more like a proper Fortune's Child.
"Very good. If there's nothing else, get lost."
"Yes." Humiliated, Luo Yan cupped his hands and bowed again, his anger already off the charts!
He was a favored son of heaven himself. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
But he had always firmly believed in one saying.
As long as the green mountains remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood. Once I'm stronger, I can take my revenge!
Su Changge gave him a meaningful smile, frightening Luo Yan into a shudder. He hurriedly took his leave.
Too clever for your own good.
Luo Yan had long since developed the intent to kill him, yet he still thought he had hidden it well.
In fact, a little careful observation was enough to discover the cold malice and killing intent concealed deep within his soul.
It seems that after the heavy blow I dealt him, this Fortune's Child has put me on his must-kill list.
Unfortunately.
Su Changge had long since grasped his thoughts. The moment his remaining value was squeezed dry would be the moment his death arrived.
Su Changge quietly activated Aura Eye again.
He looked at Luo Yan's departing figure.
[Luo Yan: Fortune points: 196.]
Sure enough, when I plunder his fortune, his fortune points decrease.
I didn't expect him to have so much fortune left. It seems that brat still has a major opportunity ahead.
Su Changge was delighted. The greater the other man's remaining value, the more benefits he would gain!
Golden light swirled in his eyes as he activated Aura Insight again.
[Luo Yan: A favored son of heaven from Wind Cloud City. He suffered a severe blow during the three-year appointment, but this did not thwart his determination to forge bravely ahead. Before long, he will encounter an opportunity in an ancient mountain in the Heaven River Realm that will truly change his life.]
An ancient mountain?
Change his life?
So this had merely been the appetizer!
He had to admit that Fortune's Children truly enjoyed the Heavenly Dao's favor. Even after all this, Luo Yan still had a heaven-defying opportunity!
Luckily, he had kept something in reserve and had not killed him now. Otherwise, would all the later rewards not have been lost?
Watching Luo Yan's departing figure, Su Changge's lips curved slightly upward.
"Luo Yan."
"I hope you won't disappoint me too much, my treasure hunting mouse."
