Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

At this moment, Su Liang also strolled over leisurely.

Xue Linfeng and the others all thought that Su Liang must have gone mad, while the protectors of the Purple Sun Dynasty were instantly terrified.

Su Liang, Chief Seal Master of Taihao Academy!

Chapter 498 To be the protagonist, you can't be shameless

At first, Xue Linfeng was a little puzzled as to why this suddenly appearing young man had frightened the guardian to such an extent.

However, after the protector whispered something in his ear, Xue Linfeng's face immediately showed a look of utter horror. The person in front of him was actually Su Liang!

The people of the Purple Sun Dynasty were all quite frightened at this moment.

Regardless of his status or strength, Su Liang is someone they absolutely cannot afford to offend.

However, although Xue Linfeng loves to show off, he is not a fool.

He immediately realized that this was a perfect opportunity to get acquainted with Su Liang.

Su Liang, Chief Seal Master of Taihao Academy, and the future Head of Taihao Academy!

Such an important person is someone you can't even see on ordinary days. Although there was a minor clash today, it's a case of "no fight, no friendship".

"Greetings, Lord Su Liang. I am Xue Linfeng, Crown Prince of the Purple Sun Dynasty. I was blind to your greatness before and offended you and this junior sister. I hope you will forgive me. This box of top-grade Cloud Dream Snow Lotus is a specialty of my Purple Sun Dynasty. I present it to this junior sister as an apology."

Xue Linfeng's move completely stunned many cultivators of the Purple Sun Dynasty.

The finest Yunmeng Snow Lotus appears only once every five years or so in the entire Zi Ri Dynasty.

This does not mean that a Yunmeng Snow Lotus can be formed in five years, but rather that the Yunmeng Snow Lotus is born with the fate of the nation. Given the current national fortune of the Zi Ri Dynasty, only one can be born in five years.

As the power of the Purple Sun Dynasty grows stronger, this number will naturally increase.

The box of Yunmeng Snow Lotus that Xue Linfeng has taken out now contains twelve plants, which is the total output of the Zi Ri Dynasty over the past sixty years.

Some princesses and noblewomen were dumbfounded.

Although His Highness the Crown Prince's words were somewhat offensive, and he even ordered his attendants to take action.

However, the enemy suffered no damage, while on their side, two of their followers died.

Is it really necessary to make such heavy compensation at this time?

Some princes and heirs who didn't get along with Xue Linfeng looked at him with extreme fear.

Xue Linfeng's biggest flaw is his love of showing off. But apart from that, he is impeccable in everything else, which explains why he has such a high level of support.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Su Liang also found Xue Linfeng to be quite interesting. When he first met him, he thought he was just another spoiled brat, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Zhu Yatong was dumbfounded. Has Su Liang become so powerful now? The other party only recognized his identity, yet he still presented such a precious Yunmeng Snow Lotus.

But! Didn't Xue Linfeng just say that the Cloud Dream Snow Lotus was a gift for her? Why is Su Liang putting the treasure away himself now?

"Give it back!"

Not long after, as the group continued on their way, Zhu Yatong tugged at Su Liang's robe and said fiercely to him.

This was clearly a gift from someone else, but now Su Liang has taken it away. This is outrageous!

"I'll calculate your tuition fee."

Su Liang stroked his chin and said casually.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yatong was completely taken aback. Where could the tuition be so expensive? This cost a full twelve Yunmeng Snow Lotuses!

"However, if I'm in a good mood when we get back, I might give you one."

Hearing Su Liang say this, Zhu Yatong was still very unwilling, but thinking that if she performed well, she could still get a plant, she began to slowly adjust.

After all, she now only has two choices.

The first option is to get none; since the Cloud Dream Snow Lotus is in Su Liang's hands, she definitely can't get it. The second option is to perform well, and maybe she can get one or two in the end.

However, Zhu Yatong still wrote down Su Liang's shamelessness in her notebook!

Su Liang did not give all of this item to Zhu Yatong, mainly because Zhu Yatong had no use for it.

The greatest function of the Yunmeng Snow Lotus is to nourish the soul and strengthen the spirit.

Zhu Yatong's spiritual sense and soul aura far surpass those of her peers. It would only be useful if her cultivation level suddenly increased and her spiritual sense and soul strength couldn't keep up.

Of course, the Yunmeng Snow Lotus can be stored for a long time, but if this girl eats it in a short period of time after obtaining it, it would be a complete waste.

After some thought, Su Liang decided to give Zhu Yatong a Cloud Dream Snow Lotus in exchange for some other treasures.

Just like the Frost Sword before, and the first volume of the Azure Profound Sword Manual that he taught Zhu Yatong, these were all extremely useful to Zhu Yatong.

"Lord Su Liang, this is the route map of the ruins that I drew based on the images. Please take a look."

At this moment, Xue Linfeng came to Su Liang's side again and handed him a jade slip.

The original map depicted on this jade slip is in the treasure pavilion of the Purple Sun Dynasty. The original map describes a ruin in the Demon Subduing Mountains.

Xue Linfeng's visit was not solely to show off his sword; there was another very important reason: to search for treasure at this site.

"We're already close to the heart of the Demon-Subduing Mountains, how dare you go any further?"

After reading the jade slip, Su Liang asked with some doubt.

Despite the large number of Xue Linfeng's group, there were two bodyguards secretly following them.

However, if they encounter a very powerful mutated silver bone demon or a golden bone demon, their group is really no match for it.

“I have already sent many cultivators to investigate this area before, and at least in the past year, there have been no particularly powerful silver bone demons or golden bone demons active in this area.”

Upon hearing Xue Linfeng's words, the other princes and some of the princes' heirs behind him were now convinced.

Despite his life of pleasure, this crown prince is actually incredibly meticulous and strategic when it comes to handling matters.

As Xue Linfeng said, they did not encounter any powerful monsters or other creatures beyond their capabilities along the way.

The group then proceeded smoothly, getting closer and closer to the ancient ruins.

Before long, Su Liang also saw this ancient ruin. This place was located in the heart of the Fumo Mountains. Miasma was everywhere, and all kinds of broken walls and ruins were visible everywhere.

After traveling through the fog for a while, the view gradually opened up before them.

However, at this moment, everyone immediately realized that all their companions had disappeared.

In the fog, Zhu Yatong was dumbfounded. She had originally decided to stick close to Su Liang.

But right now, she has no idea where Su Liang is, or where anyone else is.

Moreover, apart from broken walls and ruins, there seems to be nothing else here.

Could there really be treasures in a place like this?

Zhu Yatong's beautiful eyes were now filled with confusion.

Xue Linfeng and the others were also somewhat nervous, especially Xue Linfeng, whose greatest reliance here was the two protectors with the cultivation level of terrestrial immortals.

Chapter 499 The Demon Lord Descends, Journey to Hell

But now, in this miasma, everyone has completely scattered.

Compared to Xue Linfeng and the others, Su Liang was still strolling leisurely through the miasma.

At this moment, some evil cultivators who had been entrenched in this place for many years gradually emerged from the miasma and walked towards Su Liang with unfriendly expressions.

Clearly, this place is not as safe as Xue Linfeng said.

It's also possible that these evil cultivators have re-established themselves in order to eliminate Xue Linfeng.

"Get lost. It doesn't matter if we kill a few less ants like you."

As these heretical cultivators approached, Su Liang casually remarked.

"How dare you talk such nonsense! You're tired of living!"

The evil cultivators who emerged from the miasma looked at Su Liang with mocking smiles.

They didn't know Su Liang, nor did they think that Xue Linfeng could have any powerful experts around him.

At this moment, Su Liang once again understood a saying: "Good advice is hard to persuade a damned ghost."

As he let out a soft sigh, the numerous evil cultivators around him swarmed forward.

Faced with these arrogant and ignorant evil cultivators, Su Liang did not stop, but continued to move forward in the direction he had just identified.

Seeing that Su Liang completely ignored them, the evil cultivators who were surging in from all directions were filled with rage.

Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. No matter how strong Su Liang is, they're the ones who call the shots in this small territory.

However, what everyone saw at this moment was...

A streak of silver light, as sharp as lightning, flashed across the sky.

Soon, the few evil cultivators at the forefront were pierced through the forehead by the cold, silver blades.

The gleaming silver blade moved like a nimble fish in water, constantly weaving through the group of evil cultivators.

Wherever the cold, silver blade passed, numerous evil cultivators fell one after another.

At this moment, these evil cultivators also understood why Su Liang had ignored them.

Because this rabble of them really didn't catch Su Liang's eye.

At this moment, Su Liang didn't even have to take action himself. He just used a magical artifact that had just begun to develop intelligence to wreak havoc, and they were almost completely wiped out.

At this moment, some evil cultivators fled, some kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and some went berserk, trying to charge towards Su Liang.

However, Su Liang continued to stroll leisurely and calmly, while these evil cultivators fell one after another.

"If you dare to cause trouble in the Demon-Subduing Mountains, the three Demon Lords will not let you off!"

After being pierced through the body by a cold, silver blade, a heretical cultivator glared at Su Liang's retreating figure with intense resentment and said...

At this moment, Su Liang indeed stopped walking.

As he raised his hand, the gleaming silver blade, still radiating a cold light and untouched by any blood or other aura, floated in his palm.

The cold, silver blade was originally poised to pierce the brain of the evil cultivator who had just spoken.

However, Su Liang changed his mind at this moment and decided to send one of the guys back to report the news.

After observing for a while, he discovered that the site did indeed contain valuable items, but these items had already been taken away before they arrived.
