One person established a clan

Chapter 146 Invitation

The blade's energy shattered and scattered, transforming into a fierce gust of wind that swept across the area.

Only Su Cheng remained unmoved, a few strands of silver lightning swirling around his body, his refined aura rising like smoke.

"call--"

He slowly exhaled the scorching air, feeling the surging energy within his body as if he had been reborn, temporarily ignoring the numerous system light screens that popped up beside him.

He simply glanced calmly at the Nine Cranes Sect Master in the distance and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Would you like to have another round?"

"."

Blood was still trickling from the corner of the Nine Cranes Sect Master's mouth. He stared blankly, speechless, and for a moment felt it was quite absurd.

Having cultivated for decades, he had never seen such a strange young man.

Not only did he break through on the spot, but judging from the manner of his breakthrough, he seemed to be only at the initial stage of the Danxuan realm.
"Danxuan?"

Is there such a powerful initial stage of the Danxuan realm in this world?

The Nine Crane Sect Master suddenly burst out laughing. "No wonder that Palace Master was so furious and out of control; it turns out he'd provoked a peerless genius like you!"

He suddenly burst into laughter, coughing up blood, and his aura quickly dissipated.

"I admit defeat!"

The Nine Crane Sect Master grinned, his lips stained with blood: "But before I die, I'll give you a word of advice: don't underestimate the Heaven-Seizing Alliance. Their true abilities are far beyond what those Spirit Envoy disciples can handle—"

puff!

His voice abruptly stopped, he clutched his chest tightly, his eyes bulged out, and he died instantly.

Is this some kind of mystical or evil spell?

Su Cheng frowned, noticing an even colder aura emanating from the man than before.

"—You've repeatedly thwarted our Heavenly Alliance's grand plans; you're truly a persistent ghost!"

The 'Nine Cranes Sect Master' raised his face again, his expression now filled with rage: 'I will surely grind you to dust!'

"The Lord of the Heavenly Alliance?"

Su Cheng's eyes grew even colder: "If you have the ability, you are welcome to make a move."

boom--!
The two immense forces collided with a deafening roar, like the sun and moon vying for brilliance, and for a moment they were locked in a stalemate.

The temple master stood arrogantly with his hands behind his back, a murderous aura surging in his eyes, before suddenly breaking into a sinister grin:
"You do have some skill. With the body I'm in, I might not be able to defeat you."

"so?"

Su Cheng said indifferently, "You just finished making threats, and now you want to run away?"

The Palace Master's sinister smile froze slightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes intensified. "The Heavenly Army Ceremony is about to begin, so we have no time to deal with the troubles of ants for the time being."

If I were free, killing you would be a matter of moments; how could I allow you to be so arrogant here!

His sinister smile faded, but his tone grew increasingly cold. "If you truly intend to fight my Heaven-Seizing Alliance to the death, and think you can turn this world upside down, then you are welcome to come directly to the Netherworld Clan's Heavenly Desolate City for a discussion."

"I will come to your door myself."

Su Cheng smiled slightly: "I hope that the Heavenly Ceremony will be grand enough to bring your Heavenly Alliance to ruin in one fell swoop."

The Palace Master's eyes twitched, and he said in a cold voice, "Since you are so arrogant, I can give you a chance."

A spiritual scroll suddenly materialized in his palm.

"On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, at Qianfeng Ridge and Qixing Cave."

The Palace Master flicked his wrist, a mocking smile on his face: "At that time, the four races of the wondrous realm will join forces to break the seal and open the realm, summoning heroes from all races under heaven to explore its mysteries. I will personally go there. Do you have the guts?"

Su Cheng casually pinched the spirit note, glanced at it out of the corner of his eye to confirm that it was merely a token, and then spoke calmly:
"Thank you for the introduction. I will seek your guidance when the time comes."

"Very well." The Palace Master chuckled. "Although you have repeatedly thwarted the plans of my Heavenly Alliance, you are still quite forthright and audacious. I will be waiting for you then—"

His body was surrounded by flickering spiritual light, clearly indicating that the soul power possessing him was about to be exhausted.

"Before we part, I would like to present you with a small gift."

The temple master's lips suddenly curled into a strange smile, and the corpse he possessed rapidly expanded as if being inflated, with violent spiritual energy surging wildly beneath its flesh.

"No matter how powerful you are, let's see how you protect the two girls behind you!"

Once the soul power dissipated, the physical body swelled to a terrifying extent, and violent spiritual energy was about to erupt!
"Young master, be careful!"

Wen Qimeng called out urgently, "Come back quickly, I have a backup plan—wait?"

But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly froze.

Su Cheng flashed to the corpse and plunged his sword into its body.

The body, which had already swelled to the point of cracking, rapidly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into scattered bones.

Forget about the impact of the self-destruction, it didn't even stir up the slightest breeze. "Eh?"

Wen Qimeng was somewhat bewildered by what she saw. What strange method had the young master used this time?
"never mind."

Su Cheng swept away the wreckage and embers with his sword, then flashed back to her side. "Shall we find a quiet place to rest?"

Wen Qimeng suddenly came to her senses and frowned, saying, "Cloud City is still in chaos, and other cultivators are causing trouble."

"Don't worry, the situation is already under control, and it won't be long before things quiet down."

"what?"

Wen Qimeng was even more surprised upon hearing this, and subconsciously looked around at all directions.

She then realized that the smoke of war was gradually clearing up in various places, and even the sounds of fierce fighting had ceased.

Occasionally, a few scattered, crisp sounds could be heard, but they would soon fall silent again.

"Are you really alright?"

"Absolutely true." Su Cheng chuckled. "Go down first."

He sheathed the Dragon Green Sword, held the still-shaken young woman in his arms, and landed first at the inn where they had been staying.

Wen Qimeng pursed her lips, her heart filled with countless surprises and doubts, but she still obediently followed.

Inside the jade hairpin at this moment.

"call"

Shi Xuan leaned against the soft white clouds and breathed a sigh of relief, patting his chest.

Although she knew that Su Chengxiu was becoming increasingly powerful, she was still worried that something unexpected might happen.

Seeing that the outside world was calm and the powerful enemy had retreated, her tense body finally relaxed completely.

"It's okay."

As soon as his heartstrings relaxed, Shi Xuanyu's face flushed with an alluring blush.

She curled up slightly, her hands sliding down to her abdomen, feeling the intense heat within, and her eyes welled up with desire.

"Finally, I can refine it in peace."

As his soul power circulated, drowsiness welled up in his heart again.

With a gentle smile, she closed her eyes and quietly drifted off to sleep.

In the private room of the inn.

"It's amazing that you can hide someone in your arms, young master."

Wen Qimeng leaned against the bed railing with her arms crossed, watching Su Cheng settle the puppet, her expression slightly strange.

She never expected that during the fierce battle, this woman had been hiding inside her wide robe.
Not only did she not notice, but even the Nine Crane Sect Master and the Heavenly Alliance Palace Master were unaware.

“She was temporarily unable to move around, so it wasn’t appropriate to leave her in your care at the time.”

Su Cheng tucked the silk quilt around the puppet, then looked at the young woman nestled in his arms.

"Girl, would you like to lie down in bed for a while?"

"I want to hug my brother."

The little girl buried her face in her arms, her soft, muffled voice escaping her lips: "Brother...don't leave me."

The soft, petite body in her arms trembled slightly, as if it were trying to hold back its fear, its palms clenched until they were red.

Su Cheng's gaze gradually softened.

This child has already experienced a series of misfortunes, and today he has been frightened again, yet he is still able to control his emotions. He is so well-behaved and sensible that it breaks our hearts.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

"Yes, my brother is so nice."

The girl's soft murmurs faded as she finally drifted off to sleep.

Wen Qimeng sighed softly from the side: "This girl, she never says 'Sister is so good,' her eyes are full of you, her good brother."

Su Cheng cradled the young lady in one arm, turned his head and smiled faintly, "Thank you for your meticulous care, Miss Wen, so that the young lady is safe and sound."

"."

Wen Qimeng's heart suddenly raced, and a slight heat rose to her cheeks.

She abruptly turned her head away from the gaze, and then, feigning composure, began to play with the strands of hair that fell to her shoulders.

"Why take it so seriously? I treat this child like my own sister; how could I not take good care of her?"

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Wen Qimeng blushed and quickly said, "Don't talk about that now, tell me quickly what happened outside the city?"
