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

It turned out to be the case.

The incident involving the Demon Flame Sect was not at all motivated by greed.

Behind the scenes, it was Lady Wangqing who was using someone else's knife.

The woman wanted to use Jiao Wujiu to assess the true worth of Hao Rizong's new disciple.

"My lord, this token..."

Lu Yao hesitated before speaking.

"What if we hand it over to the sect?"

Su Chen closed the booklet and tapped the dark red token with his knuckles.

Once the sect obtains the token, they can easily destroy the Demon Flame Sect.

But the details of those spiritual materials from the lower realms will also be revealed.

Not cost-effective.

"In the hands of the Haori Sect, this thing is nothing more than a pretext for their extermination."

Su Chen held the token in his palm and shook it.

"In Su Hongfu's hands, it became a knife stabbing into Lady Wangqing's heart."

Lu Yao's eyes lit up.

"This servant can go and deliver this message on behalf of my master."

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment after she finished speaking.

In just a moment, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Su Chen was looking himself over.

Only then did I realize that I had been a little too attentive.

It's best to avoid worrying about unnecessary things while you're with Su Chen.

Su Chen was so calculating that even the smallest of his actions could be misinterpreted as him plotting something...

"If you ask me, 'Why did I do this?'"

"I hope you won't talk nonsense."

"Just say this is a matter between Su and the Demon Flame Sect."

In the jade slip, Su Hongfu's voice was as cold as ice.

"What are you after, kid?"

Even through the layer of spiritual light, the woman's caution could be felt through the jade slip.

"Didn't I already say that...?"

Su Chen snorted coldly...

There was silence on the other end of the jade slip for a long time.

What he really wanted was revenge, or the remaining wealth of the Demon Flame Sect.

Su Hongfu pondered this in her heart, but in the end, she felt that it didn't matter.

As long as we can bring down that woman, Lady Forgetful Love.

Give me the token.

Su Hongfu finally spoke.

"During the great war, I will report to you one by one which battlefront Lady Wangqing's faction of demonic cultivators were deployed on, who was leading the troops, and where their backup plans were hidden."

"make a deal."

"in addition."

Su Hongfu paused, a hint of something else in her voice.

"Let me give you a piece of advice. Lady Forgetful Love has sent people to inquire about your origins in the mortal realm."

Su Chen's hand holding the jade slip slowly tightened.

The gentleness in his eyes gradually faded.

You can inquire about Su.

I found out that I went down to the mortal realm...

That means they're tired of living.

A mountain breeze swept across the plank road, scattering the lotus blossoms from the hillside.

The petals fell onto the bluestone steps, forming a thin layer.

Lin Zhiya walked lightly up the layer of fallen petals.

He wore a light blue Taoist robe, the material of which was thin and clung to his waist when the wind blew.

She was holding a white jade bottle in her hands.

"I heard you're going to Juque City?"

"The Holy Maiden is incredibly well-informed."

Su Chen was putting things into his storage bag without even looking up.

"On the way."

Lin Zhiya placed the jade bottle on the table in a calm and indifferent tone.

"Descending from the main peak, we passed right by the mountain gate."

"The bottle contains healing pills, a gift from Master."

"With that kind of body of yours, who knows what you'll get yourself into this time."

Su Chen then looked up.

There are seven or eight ridges between the main peak and the mountain gate.

This "on the way" is actually quite a long way off.

He didn't expose her and kept the jade bottle.

"Thank you, Holy Maiden."

Lin Zhiya snorted and turned to leave.

Reaching the threshold, I stopped again.

Go early and come back early.

...

The quiet room on the west peak was sealed off by black stones on all four sides, so that even spiritual senses could not penetrate it.

The fat steward from Qingxiao Pavilion arrived just before filming began, still panting heavily as he entered.

"Fellow Daoist! These three plants can be consumed privately within the pavilion."

"price?"

Su Chen fiddled with a spirit stone on the table without looking up.

"Twice the auction house's estimate."

The fat butler's smile froze on his face.

"Fellow Daoist! Last time you said you would give the other factions a chance..."

"yes."

Su Chen finally glanced at him.

"So this time, Mr. Su gave the auction house the opportunity."

"If Qingxiao Pavilion wants to intercept the deal, it will naturally have to pay a price for it."

The fat butler was so choked up that he rolled his eyes.

I learned from the last time that this kid is not easy to fool.

Unexpectedly, his appetite grew bigger each time.

But that important person in the cabinet specifically requested this item...

After some back and forth, the deal was finally closed at 1.6 times the original price.

The fat butler ended up having to do someone a favor.

"From now on, if you need any spiritual materials, just say the word, and Qingxiao Pavilion will keep an eye out for them."

Su Chen then showed a slight smile.

Spirit stones are a minor matter.

In the spirit realm, a favor from a merchant is far more valuable than a spirit stone.

As the auction house's lanterns lit up one by one, a wisp of energy silently seeped into the quiet room.

The energy was initially faint, but it suddenly became heavier when it landed on the ground.

Su Chen did not turn around.

"Senior Gu still has such a big attitude."

The female cultivator in plain clothes stood by the door, the hint of aloofness still lingering in her eyes.

"You still dare to come to Juque City?"

Gu Qingwu approached and sat down opposite Su Chen, but didn't mention the important matter for a long time.

All I ask is whether that natal spirit sword is still easy to use.

He then asked, "How did your cultivation reach the late stage of the Void Refinement realm in such a short time?"

Su Chen answered each question, but he knew exactly what was going on in his mind.

After that day's Qi cultivation, the woman's technique was perfected.

Can...

Why should a mere Nascent Soul cultivator leave her, a dignified Body Integration Realm expert, feeling empty and uneasy?

Gu Qingwu himself couldn't explain it.

"As I have said."

Su Chen poured her a cup of tea.

"Guiding Qi is one thing, but nothing else is up for discussion."

Gu Qingwu's lips curled into a cold smile.

"What Qingwu has always wanted is just those two strands of the power of law."

That's what I said, but after saying it, I felt a little guilty.

She didn't touch that cup of tea.

"That's enough."

Gu Qingwu finally got down to business.

"There is a Nascent Soul Elder in the Crimson Flame Sect, who is Qin Lie's great-uncle, who has already arrived in Giant Que City."

"They've declared they're going to find that brat from Haori Sect and demand an explanation."

The spirit mist in the Crimson Flame Sect's villa in the city was tinged red by the furnace of earth fire.

Su Chen accepted the invitation and went there.

The conversation was a pretense; the real intention was to test Su's capabilities in person.

Going there is a trap; it's a trap.

Not going would be to reveal one's weakness.

Qin Yue sat in the main seat, his aura at the early stage of the Integration Realm restrained, unlike Qin Lie who was so flamboyant.

As Su Chen sat down, he casually mentioned it.

"I have some acquaintance with Senior Ou Yechen, and I am also quite familiar with Fellow Daoist Gu Qingwu."

Qin Yue's hand holding the teapot paused almost imperceptibly.

His tone softened considerably.

After a series of feigned exchanges, Qin Yue finally revealed his true intentions.

"A great battle is imminent, and both the Crimson Flame Sect and the Radiant Sun Sect belong to the righteous path."

"I hope that Fellow Daoist Su can take care of Qin Lie on the battlefield."

What a wonderful act of care.

This is using the concept of righteousness to pressure Su into admitting that the feud is over.

Su Chen picked up his teacup and responded with a smile.

"Elder Qin, rest assured."

"Thank you for your consideration, Su will remember it."

He sneered inwardly.

On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes.

How to take care of them is entirely up to me, Su.

The deepest den of iniquity in the city is called Tingyu Tower, which is perched at the lowest point of the valley.

The aroma of the spirit wine wafted from the third floor, drifting upwards with the mist.

Su Chen didn't spend a single spirit stone on his first night.

I found a corner on the second floor and listened to the drunken ramblings of various cultivators for half the night.

In his drunken ramblings, he managed to come up with two important matters.

...
