Immortal Martial Arts Son-in-Law: Having Too Many Wives Isn't My Fault

A short while later.

The footsteps grew clearer, and then a slightly hunched figure emerged.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw this.

The person who arrived was none other than Su Heming, the eldest elder of the Su family.

Su Heming, the eldest elder of the Su family, is over eighty years old and is considered a very senior figure in the entire Qingzhu Mountain.

In recent years, he has lived a secluded life, and it is said that he has been cultivating in seclusion in the forbidden area behind the mountain for more than ten years.

Even when the Bai Yuan Zhao family came knocking on our door last time, this elder did not show up.

The fact that they are now in this secret room shows that the matter to be discussed tonight is of great importance.

The elder was wearing a faded gray robe, his beard and hair were all white, his face was thin, and his cultivation level was at least the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The Grand Elder walked to the center of the secret chamber and stood there. His gaze swept over the dozen or so blurry figures present, and then he spoke.

"Peach Blossom Village has fallen."

Although everyone present had already heard the news.

But hearing it from the Grand Elder himself carries a completely different weight.

"The Bai Yuan Zhao family has gone too far in bullying us."

"Peach Blossom Village is a sacred land that my Su family has managed for sixty years. Sixty years of peach heartwood and sixty years of spirit beehives have all been taken over by the Zhao family overnight."

"But the Su family is not a pushover; it's not something anyone can just bully."

The elder surveyed the crowd, his voice resounding.

"The Zhao family has occupied Peach Blossom Village and thinks they are safe and sound. They plan to hold a grand banquet in Peach Blossom Village in three days to convene the Spirit Ascension Conference. At that time, all the rogue cultivators, small families, and merchants from Baiyuan will be invited. They say they are going to set up shop and invite like-minded people, but in reality, they are just stepping on my Su family's face to establish their authority."

"Since they dare to set up this platform, then my Su family dares to dig a pit under this platform."

Upon hearing this, several people in the secret room immediately sat up straight.

Chen Hao's eyelid twitched.

He already had a vague idea of ​​what the Grand Elder was going to say next.

As expected, the Grand Elder continued to speak.

"The Ascension Ceremony requires manpower to handle the reception, and the Zhao family itself does not have enough people."

"These past few days I've been recruiting independent cultivators and craftsmen around Peach Blossom Village. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; I want to select people from among you and use this chance to infiltrate."

"Infiltrating, going undercover."

Four words, clear and distinct, resounding with conviction.

The room was completely silent.

The person who had touched Chen Hao's elbow earlier was now breathing even more softly.

The Grand Elder stood with his hands behind his back and continued.

"Those selected this time must meet two conditions. First, they must be clever and resourceful enough to hide their identities right under the noses of the Zhao family."

"Secondly, they are reliable enough and loyal to the Su family. Every one of you here is a promising member of the Su family, and I trust you."

"This journey will naturally be dangerous, but the Su family will never mistreat any of its members who are willing to take the risk."

"Those who volunteer to go will be included in the family's core hierarchy and enjoy the same treatment as elders. The cultivation resources, elixirs, and access to cultivation techniques they receive will all be distributed according to the standards for direct lineage core disciples."

"His family members and children will be supported by his family, ensuring they will have enough to eat and wear for the rest of their lives."

The mere mention of this condition caused many people present to breathe heavily.

Although the Su family has gradually declined over the years, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Elders receive the same treatment, including a fixed monthly allowance of spirit stones, elixirs, and access to cultivation techniques.

That's something that ordinary people can never reach in their entire lives.

Moreover, there are the words "core loyalists".

Of the hundreds of members of the Su family, no more than a few dozen can truly be considered the core direct descendants.

For someone born out of wedlock to squeeze into this circle, unless they are exceptionally talented or have made extraordinary contributions, it's just wishful thinking.

And now, the opportunity is right in front of us.

"Furthermore, those who perform well in this mission will make a great contribution to the family."

"Once you reach the Qi Refining stage, I will decide to include it in next year's Foundation Establishment Pill allocation schedule."

Foundation Building Pill!

Chen Hao's pupils suddenly contracted.

As soon as those two words were uttered, at least three figures in the secret room stood up abruptly.

Then, realizing his lapse in decorum, he hurriedly sat back down.

Foundation Establishment Pill, that's a spiritual pill that can help people break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

The entire Su family can probably only obtain one or two Foundation Establishment Pills each year.

It was entirely in the hands of the patriarch and the council of elders; ordinary clansmen could not even see it, let alone receive any distribution.

The temptation of that statement was so great that it was enough to make someone take a risk.

The Grand Elder seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction, waved his hand, and said again.

"I know what you're worried about. You're just afraid of it being revealed. But I have a secret technique that can alter your bones and distort your aura. When combined with a human skin mask, even someone who lives with you day and night won't recognize you when they walk right past you."

"The probability of getting away with it is at least 90%, if not 100%."

"90%"

These two words were like the last straw, breaking the hesitation of many people present.

Chen Hao could even hear the sound of someone swallowing saliva next to him.

But Chen Hao was not tempted.

He knew all too well that this so-called "90% certainty" was probably just a prediction.

On the other hand, whoever suffers that 10% loss will die.

Moreover, the elder's words implied that he was "utterly loyal to the Su family."

He is the son-in-law of the Su family. No matter how well he completes the mission, he will still be affected by the immense wealth and power of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Su family might not necessarily give him the item.

One Foundation Establishment Pill allocation quota?

It's euphemistically called "being included in the allocation sequence," but the Elders' Council can easily remove that spot with a single word.

These elders have lived for countless years; each one is incredibly shrewd.

They can paint a beautiful picture of a pie in the sky, but when it comes to actually delivering, they turn their backs faster than flipping through a book.

Chen Hao sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, simply sitting quietly without uttering a word.

However, among these people, there were naturally some who were tempted.

A moment later, a voice, concealed by an array, rang out from inside the secret chamber.

"Elder, I'm willing to go!"

The sound was like a spark falling into a pile of dry wood, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the secret room.

"I'm going too!"

Count me in!

"What is there to fear if I can serve my family!"

...

In an instant, seven or eight people in the secret room volunteered to help.

Some of these voices belong to passionate individuals ready to die for their families.

Some were young people who were blinded by the words "Foundation Building Pill".

Chen Hao remained silent.

The elder slowly swept his gaze across the crowd, seemingly trying to identify the source of each voice.

His gaze lingered on Chen Hao's location for a moment before shifting away.

"Okay, very good."

"In this time of crisis for the Su family, I am deeply gratified to still have such courageous young men like you. Since eight of you are willing to go, then..."

"Elder."

Just then, a voice rang out from the corner.

"My grand-nephew is injured and probably can't go."
