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

Su Chen looked down at Jiang Shiyu, who was still slumped on the desk.

The girl was completely limp.

His two legs were trembling so badly that he couldn't even stand up straight.

brute!

It wasn't that she was angry that Su Chen had an affair with her.

After all, it was saving my life.

But this fierce battle showed no mercy whatsoever.

This was something she hadn't expected.

After all, she was the white moonlight, the goddess, in the eyes of many cultivators!

They were in such a sorry state under Su Chen's dual cultivation.

Su Chen did this on purpose!

Just as she was about to lose her temper, she saw Su Chen's handsome face and couldn't stay angry anymore.

Even, I can't bear to be angry...

What's wrong with me...?

However, this cultivation method was truly a great opportunity, and I actually broke through to a higher realm as well.

He went from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the middle stage in one fell swoop.

Jiang Shiyu stared blankly at Su Chen, her eyes still damp with tears.

The feeling of being completely controlled and conquered just now.

Looking back now.

A faint blush crept onto her usually cool and aloof face.

That kid.

He is a bit of a rascal.

But this skill has now broken through to the Void Refinement Realm...

He can be considered a high-level cultivator in the Void Refinement stage...

Jiang Shiyu turned her face away, not daring to look again.

She even developed a certain admiration for him, a feeling she herself was unwilling to admit.

"What are you standing there for?"

Su Chen took out a clean outer robe from his storage bag and tossed it to her.

"Put them on."

"Let's get going."

Jiang Shiyu took the robe and wrapped it haphazardly around her body.

The robe was too big, and it looked loose and unnatural on her.

She struggled to get down from the desk.

My legs went weak.

It fell back down again.

Su Chen shook his head as he watched.

He reached out and scooped her up from the table.

"Help me up."

Jiang Shiyu remained silent.

But that slender hand quietly grasped Su Chen's sleeve.

It was gripped tightly.

The two people, one in front of the other, left the library.

At the end of the library, there is a stone staircase leading upwards.

The stone steps are long, winding upwards step by step.

Su Chen supported Jiang Shiyu, and they walked slowly.

The walls on both sides of the stone steps are inlaid with luminous pearls.

The light from the beads is cold.

The shadows of the two people were stretched very long.

They walked for about half an incense stick's time.

Ahead, the sunlight shone through.

Su Chen paused for a moment.

They went out.

This journey begins from the entrance of that drainage tunnel.

A narrow escape from death.

Finally, we've reached the main territory of Master Hongfu's dojo.

Su Chen took a deep breath, lifted his foot, and stepped out.

The sunlight was a bit too bright.

Su Chen squinted, adjusting his eyes for a moment.

The scene before him sent a chill down his spine.

This is a square.

The square was paved with a single piece of white jade.

On the white jade ground, faint patterns of laws flowed.

Around the square stood rows of jade pillars.

The jade pillar is so tall that it pierces straight into the clouds.

And in the very center of that square.

There were two people standing there.

Both of them were wearing straw hats.

The straw hat was pulled low, obscuring the face.

He was dressed in a light blue outfit, with a token hanging from his waist.

The pattern on the token.

Su Chen recognized him.

Xingluo Chamber of Commerce.

Su Chen's divine sense quietly probed the two people.

My heart sank.

Refining the void period.

Both of them are at the Refinement of Emptiness stage.

Good guy.

The Venerable Hongfu actually sent a cultivator at the Refinement stage to oversee this area.

"They're here."

Of the two men in straw hats, the one on the left spoke up.

The sound, muffled, came through the straw hat.

"I've been waiting for this long time."

"Finally, we've found one that's alive."

The one on the right didn't say anything.

He simply took the token from his waist and held it in his hand.

Jiang Shiyu's face turned pale instantly.

She gripped Su Chen's sleeve tightly.

"Refining the void..."

Jiang Shiyu's lips trembled.

"How could there be a Void Refinement cultivator...?"

She was filled with deep regret.

I had known that deep within this training ground, a powerful cultivator at the Void Refinement stage was guarding it.

She shouldn't have followed Su Chen and barged into this place, even if you beat her to death.

A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

In front of the Void Refinement cultivator.

No different from an ant.

"Give me your secret weapon to escape."

Su Chen lowered his voice and whispered quickly in Jiang Shiyu's ear.

"Give it all to me."

Jiang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

He hurriedly took things out of his storage bag, one by one.

That little mirror.

That jade ruler.

There are also a few amulets that I usually can't bear to use.

Su Chen was equally decisive.

His brow furrowed.

A gentle sword intent slowly rose from the depths of his consciousness.

The immaculate sword embryo emerges from its body.

Just this once.

Supporting this sword embryo was his cultivation level, which had just entered the Void Refinement stage.

Add to that a wisp of crimson heavenly tribulation power.

A layer of eerie light flowed across the blade of that flawless sword.

Where the sword's edge points.

Even the space itself began to distort slightly.

The two men in straw hats exchanged a glance.

The one on the left seems a bit unexpected.

"Just broke through to the Void Refinement stage?"

The man in the straw hat chuckled.

"His cultivation level is not yet stable."

"You dare to draw your sword in front of us?"

Su Chen didn't reply.

He simply placed the immaculate sword embryo horizontally in front of him.

"The two of you."

Su Chen spoke in a deep voice.

"I am Su, an old friend of Master Hongfu."

"I have taken the liberty of barging in today."

"Just to see the Master once."

"I hope you two can do me a favor and inform them on my behalf."

That's very polite of you.

The man in the straw hat on the right seemed to have heard some huge joke.

"Old friend?"

The man in the straw hat tossed the token in his hand upwards and caught it steadily.

"An old friend of the Venerable Master."

"That's fine too, it's up to the Master to decide."

"It's not your place to try and build connections here."

"Our job, brother and I."

The man in the straw hat's voice turned cold.

"It's very simple."

"Anyone who climbed up from down there."

"Whether it's a human or a ghost."

"kill."

Before he could finish speaking...

The token in the man in the straw hat suddenly lit up.

Su Chen felt an invisible force pressing down on him.

It's the same kind of token as the one from the gaunt old man in the tunnel earlier.

only.

This token is more than ten times more powerful than the old man's.

Su Chen's cultivation, which had just entered the Void Refinement stage, was suppressed by this.

He was forcibly pushed back to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

broken.

Su Chen's brows furrowed into a knot.

These two people came prepared.

Specifically designed to counter those who have just broken through to a higher realm and whose foundation is unstable.

Jiang Shiyu.

Su Chen didn't turn his head back.

"Later, no matter what happens."

"Take care of yourself."

"When you have a chance, hide under those stone steps."

Jiang Shiyu bit her lip and nodded.

The hand that was clutching the talisman was white.

The man in the straw hat on the left didn't bother to say anything more.

With a flick of his sleeve.

A streak of green light shot towards Su Chen.

The green light was so fast that it almost tore through the air.

Su Chen flipped his wrist.

The Immaculate Sword Embryo went to meet it.

The clouds pierce the sun.

The crimson sword light collided with the blue light.

boom.

The white jade plaza was cracked open by this impact, leaving a deep gash.
