One person established a clan

Chapter 35: Surrounded by Tigers and Wolves
"cough--!"

The man in black robe staggered and propped himself up halfway, pinching the muscles of his right arm with his five fingers, and intermittent gasps came out of his throat.

He didn't bother to brush off the dust on his body and hurriedly glanced around the inn, only to find that Su Cheng had disappeared.

"You're asking for trouble."

Wen Qimeng leaned against the vermilion lacquer window, a look of slight sarcasm in her eyes: "He was able to wipe out the Huanxing Sect in one night, so how could he not have some skills?"

The man in black robes stood up, holding onto the doorpost. "My lady, this man's physique is so strong that I have never seen him before. And—"

"Now that you've suffered, you should know the importance of it."

Wen Qimeng flicked her sleeves with her fingers and said indifferently, "I like him very much, so don't mess with him in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the long street.

The black-robed man twisted his numb arm, a bitter taste spreading across his lips. The young lady was too young to understand how terrifying this man was.

"I never thought that I would be scared into a cold sweat by a mere junior."

When he was overwhelmed by brute force, he almost subconsciously summoned his strength to turn the situation around, at least not wanting to lose too shamefully.

Unexpectedly, the spiritual energy condensed in the palm of his hand seemed to collide with a towering mountain, and was completely crushed in just a moment.
"Is this really just a cultivator who has entered the Mysterious Realm?"

The black-robed man exhaled with lingering fear. Even a cultivator who had reached the perfection of the Heart Mystery would probably be no more than this.

The long street was bustling with noise, and the aroma of burnt sugar paintings mixed with the steam of tea swirled upwards.

The people along the way were still talking about it, but the atmosphere was completely different from the sinister atmosphere of the previous two days.

Su Chengtuo carried the little girl steadily through the crowd, took her to buy some street food, and teased her a few times, and soon a cute and crisp laugh came from her arms.

Seeing the girl eating the candied haws obediently, he finally had the mind to recall the brief exchange just now.

"After the Black Iron Spirit Body was promoted, it has indeed improved significantly."

Although it is impossible to quantify the value specifically, Su Cheng can still feel the strength of his physique.

Silvery dark patterns wandered across the skin texture, and when one clenched one's fingers into a fist, the texture appeared to have cold, hard edges and corners, as if cast in dark iron.

"And this protective formation."

Su Cheng glanced at the flash of blood in his palm, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly.

The convenience of this formation can be described as "the formation moves at will." As for the power of the formation, it is no less powerful than the original.

Although the black-robed man had a high level of cultivation, he was bound to suffer when he suddenly collided head-on with the entire sect protection formation.

"Not bad." Su Cheng was very satisfied with the harvest.

"Big Brother." The little girl stole a glance at Shi Xuan, who was following beside her. His snowy hair swayed like tassels beneath his veil. "Big Sister... doesn't she eat anything?"

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "She's not hungry yet."

The little girl said "Oh" but stopped eating the candied haws in her hand, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Su Cheng sighed inwardly. This child has gone through a great change, and now he knows how to read people's expressions.
"Sir, open your mouth~"

"Ok?"

Su Cheng turned around when he heard the sound, and a piece of fragrant and soft cake was placed right on his mouth.

Wen Qimeng tilted her head slightly, a sweet smile playing on her lips. "I'm sorry I offended many of my people just now. I hope you can calm down~"

Su Cheng took a bite of the cake and said, "Miss Wen, please try not to test me like this in the future."

"I've got that down~"

Wen Qimeng's eyes flickered, and her smile was filled with meaning. "Sir, I won't force you to follow me. But given the current situation, you must be on your guard."

Su Cheng glanced at her and said, "I'm all ears." Wen Qimeng's smile widened as she gently waved her slender finger, "There are a total of eighteen well-known immortal cultivation sects in Dongchen. Although the Huanxing Sect is very famous, it can only barely make it to the bottom of the list. As a result, the lands it controls are coveted by many forces.

But after all these years, the Huanxing Sect has remained safe and sound, and has even cultivated a good reputation and fame in the local area. Can you guess why?"

Su Cheng's mind moved slightly: "Because of the leader of this sect?"

"Yes."

Wen Qimeng crossed her arms, her expression becoming more serious. "The identity of this sect's leader is unknown, and his cultivation is mysterious, so he is feared by all parties.

And it's not just the Huanxing Sect that's like this. All the major immortal cultivation sects in Dongchen are more or less connected to "the higher-ups." The various forces are restraining each other, so conflicts rarely occur, and they have been able to live in peace for nearly a hundred years."

"Up there." Su Cheng frowned. "What is this?"

"They are behemoths that even the Dongchen royal family fears."

Wen Qimeng tilted her head and cast a serious look at him. "Although the Huanxing Sect calls itself an 'Immortal Sect,' it pales in comparison to the more orthodox immortal sects. Don't think that Wei Zhengze is invincible. Xinxuan cultivator has only just begun to truly grasp the essence of the vast universe."

Su Cheng's heart trembled, and he said in a low voice, "Is it because of this that the Dongchen Kingdom allowed these immortal cultivation sects to act tyrannically and slaughter the people at will?"

"Living in this world, there are many things that are beyond our control. Even the so-called royal family are still just mortals after all."

Wen Qimeng sighed, which made Su Cheng look sideways.

"Miss Wen is young, but she knows a lot. I guess she's not ordinary, is she?"

"That's not something I can disclose."

Wen Qimeng blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled playfully again. "However, when you have the chance to leave Dongchen Country in the future, perhaps you will be able to find out about my 'Wen Family'. Then we will have the chance to meet again."

Su Cheng suddenly realized that this woman was not from Dongchen Country.
"Okay, I've pestered you a few times, so I won't bother you any more."

Wen Qimeng changed the subject and pulled out a scroll of letter paper from her sleeve. "I still haven't found the copper-skinned dates you asked for, so I can only give you this as a token of my appreciation."

"This is."

Su Cheng took the letter, opened it and took a look, and found that there was a detailed map drawn on it.

"The location of the spiritual veins." Wen Qimeng smiled sweetly and said, "I saw that you were quite interested in spiritual veins, so I ordered people to search for this information. These two spiritual veins are both located in Dongchen Country, and are not too far from Jingyang Town. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."

Su Cheng's heartbeat quickened slightly, and he nodded calmly: "Thank you, Miss Wen, this gift is very good."

"As long as you're satisfied."

Wen Qimeng leaned forward slightly and looked at the young lady with a smile: "In return, how about you hand this little girl over to me?"

Su Cheng looked surprised: "Are you really going to adopt her?"

"Young Master has to travel a lot, and he can't take the child with him everywhere." Wen Qimeng smiled and said, "After thinking about it, I think it would be more enjoyable if I take him out to travel around."

Su Cheng glanced at the little girl in his arms.

The child subconsciously grasped his sleeve, then quietly loosened it a little. "I always listen to my brother."

"Okay." Su Cheng handed the child to Wen Qimeng. "Be nicer to her in the future."

"Don't worry, I have a good temper~"

Wen Qimeng patted the little girl's head and teased him, "If we can meet again in the future, I will definitely let you see her white and plump."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "That couldn't be better."

I lowered my head and met the little girl's eyes again, and saw the child said in a sweet and crisp voice: "Brother, take care."

"You too." Su Cheng gently hooked her nose and said, "Eat more on a daily basis. It's not good to be too thin."

"Ok!"
