Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

Su Chen raised his eyelids slightly.

A magical treasure from the upper realm?

Su Chen stretched out his foot and gently lifted Wang Mei's chin with the back of his foot.

That face was aloof and ethereal. If he hadn't been so foolish back then, Su Chen might have had some affection for her.

"In that case, I'll figure something out!"

"Then serve me for many more years, and when I break your bond of slavery, you will be free."

Su Chen felt nothing.

If anyone's to blame, it's her own stupidity, arrogance, and haughtiness; she always looks down on others.

Consider it a chance to temper her pride.

Moreover, cultivators have long lifespans; even if someone serves you for a hundred years, it will only be a fleeting moment.

For this woman, it was already a win.

Wang Mei naturally understood this, and naturally accepted it willingly.

"Put more effort into it."

Su Chen withdrew his foot and handed over the other one.

Wang Mei dared not be negligent any longer and increased the force in her hands.

"Owner."

"Do you need Wang Mei's virginity?"

"Wang Mei...okay..."

Wang Mei naturally had to show sincerity as well.

"It's not the right time yet."

"It has to be used at the crucial moment of my breakthrough."

"Bring me that Xuan Ding first."

Su Chen waved his hand.

"Reporting to Master, the Xuan Ding is not on Wang Mei."

"After being tricked, Wang Mei was afraid that it would fall into the hands of others, so she hid it in a mountain outside the city."

"It was hidden very well; no one knew about it except Wang Mei."

Wang Mei paused.

"lead the way."

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and stood up from his chair.

In the darkness of night, two beams of shield light pierced the sky and sped toward the outskirts of the city.

The lights of the market below gradually shrank into a small, blurry patch of light.

The wind whistled past my ears, carrying a hint of the chill of the night.

After flying for about half an hour, a dark mountain range finally emerged from the clouds ahead.

The mountain was covered in dense forest, and the smell of decaying grass and leaves wafted over from afar.

Wang Mei lowered her shield and pointed to an inconspicuous crevice in the rocks halfway up the mountain.

"Master, it's right there..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

A sword light, without warning, slashed down!

Su Chen frowned, shifted his feet, and barely avoided the attack.

The sword light landed, stirring up a pile of rubble.

A figure stood with his hands behind his back on a giant rock halfway up the mountain.

The newcomer was dressed in a green robe, with white hair and a youthful face. His aura as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was so powerful that it made all the trees on the mountain bow down.

"What kind of scoundrel are you?"

"How dare you trespass into the cave dwelling of an elder of my Starry Sky Dao Sect?"

The old man's voice was particularly grating.

Su Chen frowned.

Starry Sky Dao Supreme Sect?

Unexpectedly, this woman casually hid herself on top of someone else's cave.

Tell me, isn't this woman stupid?

Su Chen was both amused and exasperated.

"This senior."

"I've only come to retrieve an old item. I'll leave immediately after taking it and will not disturb your peaceful cultivation."

Su Chen cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, his tone still quite polite.

"To get something?"

"Don't you even bother to find out whose territory this is?"

"Now that you've entered my mountain..."

"Whatever these things in the mountains are, it's only right that they belong to me."

The old man chuckled, and the pressure from the Nascent Soul stage intensified.

"Owner."

"It was...it was Wang Mei's oversight."

Wang Mei's face turned pale. She didn't dare to think about what Su Chen would do to her if she lost this thing.

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty!"

"Just watch and see."

Su Chen waved to Wang Mei.

Since the other party is so tough, I should probably stretch my body a bit.

Now that I possess a trace of Heavenly Tribulation power, there's no need for me to be subservient to someone in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm!

"I don't like hearing what you're saying, senior."

Su Chen snorted coldly.

"You ignorant fool!"

A fierce glint flashed in the old man's eyes.

Before he could finish speaking, the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had already closed in on him.

Su Chen unleashed twelve streams of bone flames.

The bone flames, glowing with a bluish-white light, instantly transformed into twelve fire snakes that coiled around the old man.

This was originally one of Su Chen's trump cards; if an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator were entangled with it, they would face a near-death experience.

It can burn everything!

If it weren't for that guy Lu Feng back then, I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity.

If he were to truly reach the Nascent Soul stage, this bone flame would be enough to intimidate cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

That's a brilliant tactic!

However, the old man's cultivation level was far superior to Su Chen's.

So fast it almost became a blur.

Those twelve streaks of bone flame couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

This put Su Chen in a bit of a predicament.

While bone inflammation can certainly injure the opponent, the difference in speed makes it impossible for bone inflammation to even touch the opponent.

It can't even be considered a check or restraint.

"A trivial skill!"

The old man snorted coldly and summoned a magical artifact with his backhand.

The magic weapon was a square seal, which flew out from the palm of the hand.

In the blink of an eye, the seal transformed into a colossal mountain, crashing down upon Su Chen with earth-shattering force!

Where the seal fell, a fierce wind arose, swirling fallen leaves from the mountainside into the air.

What a terrifying magical artifact!

This seal is a real treasure!

Su Chen naturally dared not be negligent and immediately used the Falling Clouds Piercing the Sun Sword Technique!

The third sword intent poured forth!

That sword intent, like a streak of rainbow, struck straight at the mountain-like square seal.

A loud bang.

The seal was actually cleaved in two, its immense momentum forced back.

Su Chen needed this moment. He grabbed the rapidly shrinking square seal, turned around, and shot off in the direction he had come from!

"stop!"

The old man was furious when he saw his magic weapon being snatched away right in front of him.

"You little brat, you'll pay with your life!"

At this moment, the old man no longer held back, transforming into a streak of light and fiercely chasing after him.

Its speed was astonishing; it looked like it was about to catch up with Su Chen.

"So noisy!"

At that moment, Su Chen let out a cold laugh.

They've taken the bait!

Just as the old man was about to catch up, at the moment when his mind was most relaxed.

Su Chen suddenly turned around!

They used that narrow passage directly!

Accompanied by a wisp of heavenly tribulation power that had been gathering and was ready to be unleashed.

The purple and red intertwined spiritual power, with the power of divine punishment descending upon the world, shot towards the old man in a thin rainbow.

Wang Mei, who was not far away, was already stunned.

Late stage of Nascent Soul transformation.

That's a cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage.

He was actually suppressed by Su Chen, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, in just a few moves...

How could I have been so blind back then?

They were blind to the value of such a gem, and were instead completely fooled by Jiang Yun, that hypocrite who spouted righteousness and morality.

She recalled the day she had made things difficult for Su Chen and looked down on him.

Only now do I realize that back then, Su Chen might have already had the power to kill me.

Now, she has fallen to such a state, becoming a spirit slave at Su Chen's feet, at his beck and call.

Yes!

Well, he deserved it!
