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

He had wondered if the elder might have some clever way to shirk responsibility, but he never expected that he would just rely on shamelessness and call a deer a horse.

Su Liang's words made the other elders of the Hundred Luo Sect look somewhat uneasy, especially the female elder, who turned her head away.

However, after the female elder turned her head, she paused slightly, as if she realized who the young man in front of her was.

The female elder stole a glance at the First Elder and revealed a mocking smile.

“The people of our Bailuo Sect are all of excellent character and would never do such a despicable thing. What else could it be but a frame-up? Is there any need to investigate?”

The Grand Elder had already lost all shame, so he was naturally under no pressure. When he said those words, he spoke with an air of self-righteousness.

"That's true. After all, you two aren't exactly human, so it's not surprising that you would do something like this."

Su Liang was so infuriated by the elder's shamelessness that he couldn't help but mock him.

"You're all talk, but it's useless. Here, whatever I say goes. You don't need to argue anymore; just accept your punishment."

The First Elder was so enraged by Su Liang's sarcasm that his chest heaved violently, but considering that there were other elders around, he held back.

"Punish me? We'll have to see if you have the power to do so."

Su Liang chuckled disdainfully, his aura gathering momentum.

Pending dispatch.

Without saying much, the Grand Elder unleashed a fierce palm strike, his sharp aura pressing down upon them.

Lan Xin bit her lip, trying to push Su Liang away, but found that she couldn't budge him even an inch no matter how hard she tried.

Slightly startled, Lan Xin suddenly realized something.

Is that all?

Su Liang chuckled and simply waved his hand as if swatting a fly. The Grand Elder's palm strike dissipated like a gust of wind, without causing the slightest ripple.

"what!"

Everyone was shocked. With the strength of the Grand Elder, any one of them would have been injured if they had taken the full force of his palm strike alone. But in front of Su Liang, it was not even as strong as a gust of wind.

"When did such a talented young person come to our area? How come we didn't know anything about it!"

The elders chatted amongst themselves, but only the female elder smiled at the sight.

From what she just witnessed, she was now certain of Su Liang's identity.

"who are you?"

The First Elder's expression also turned serious. He had originally thought that Su Liang was just an ignorant and arrogant young man, but now it was clear that this was not the case.

"He is Su Liang, the chief seal bearer of the Taihao Academy and the number one genius of the human race!"

The female elder stepped forward, head held high, speaking with extreme pride, as if she were talking about herself.

"What? He's Su Liang?"

The Grand Elder gasped and looked at Su Liang in disbelief.

The face in his mind gradually became clearer, overlapping with the face of the young man in front of him.

Suddenly, the Grand Elder's face turned pale.

If it really is Su Liang, then wouldn't he have buried his own grave today?

"Alright, Liang Chao, this farce ends here."

A figure appeared behind the Grand Elder, hands behind his back, expression indifferent.

"metropolitan..."

The elder was slightly taken aback, swallowed hard, and turned around.

This figure was none other than the sect leader of the Hundred Luo Sect.

"I know everything you've done, but I was thinking of giving you a chance because of your great contributions to the sect. I never expected you to commit such a grave mistake today. As for the consequences..."

Although the sect leader did not continue speaking, the Grand Elder knew what his fate would be.

"Young Master Su, we are very sorry that our Bailuo Sect has caused you trouble. I will definitely handle this matter properly and give you an explanation."

The sect leader of Bailuo Sect bypassed the Grand Elder, not looking at the Grand Elder's expression, and spoke to Su Liang with a slight apology.

"That won't be necessary. You don't need to do this."

Su Liang glanced at the Sect Master of Bailuo Sect, then flashed behind the Grand Elder. With just one punch, the Grand Elder lost his life.

"It's good that you can forgive us."

The sect leader of Bailuo Sect remained unmoved by this scene, as if Su Liang had merely swatted a fly.

"Remember what you said. If I ever find out that Lan Xin is in trouble, I will come again."

Su Liang glanced at Lan Xin and noticed that her gaze was somewhat strange, so he panicked and left immediately.

Having learned from the experience of the fleeting beauty in the snow, Su Liang understood that all love must be nipped in the bud.

Chapter 919 Is it okay if no one is around?

After leaving Bailuo Sect, Su Liang stopped his leisurely journey and quickly arrived at the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Su Liang had just arrived in the capital and went straight to the palace without stopping. The palace guards knew Su Liang's identity, so they did not stop him, and he moved freely through the palace.

Su Liang originally wanted to see Jun Hongyan first, but when he thought of Jun Ruoxue, he had a headache, so he changed his route to see his cheap apprentice Zhu Yatong instead.

"Xiaotong, did you miss me?"

Su Liang silently approached Zhu Yatong from behind and suddenly spoke, but Zhu Yatong's reaction was not as excited as Su Liang had expected.

Whether I miss you or not is irrelevant, but I know you're in for a world of trouble.

Zhu Yatong looked at Su Liang, crossed her arms, and revealed a strange smile.

When Su Liang saw Zhu Yatong's smile, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

When did you get back?

Before Su Liang could react, he heard that headache-inducing voice behind him.

"Ruoxue, what are you doing here?"

Su Liang turned his head with a bitter smile, and when he saw who it was, his heart ached even more.

Although Jun Ruoxue's attitude towards him had improved a lot after spending so much time together, the moment Jun Hongyan appeared, this girl's attitude would completely reverse.

"Perfect timing! My strength has increased quite a bit recently, so why don't you spar with me?"

Jun Ruoxue did not answer Su Liang's question, but instead unleashed her aura, staring intently at Su Liang.

"Ruoxue, this is still the palace. Let's wait for another opportunity to do this."

Su Liang's eye twitched. He could sense that Jun Ruoxue had indeed become much stronger, but his own progress was also considerable.

Dealing with Jun Ruoxue now is still a piece of cake.

Looking around again, Su Liang realized that his cheap apprentice, Zhu Yatong, had somehow hidden away and was sitting to the side, looking like she was watching a good show.

"Then let me see just how much you've improved during this time!"

Seeing Jun Ruoxue's determined look, as if she wouldn't give up until they had a fight, Su Liang had no choice but to agree.

However, in order to take care of his sister-in-law's feelings, Su Liang deliberately restrained himself when he made his move, and the strength he displayed was not much different from when he left.

Because he had to be careful not to hurt Jun Ruoxue, Su Liang didn't notice that a maidservant saw him not far away and then hurriedly left.

On the contrary, Zhu Ya

Upon seeing this scene, Tong's smile widened even further.

Jun Ruoxue possesses the Heavenly Phoenix Dao Body and is quite strong in her own right. Under Su Liang's deliberate suppression, she is only slightly inferior to Su Liang.

Realizing this, Jun Ruoxue couldn't help but reveal a smug smile, and her offensive became even more ferocious.

Su Liang naturally wouldn't just defend blindly, otherwise it would be easy to see that he was letting the opponent go.

Therefore, Su Liang launched attacks on Jun Ruoxue sporadically, but he controlled the force of his attacks.

"ah!"

However, just as Jun Ruoxue was attacking, Zhu Yatong let out a cry of surprise, which immediately drew Su Liang's attention.

It was just a momentary lapse in attention that allowed Jun Ruoxue to successfully get to his side.

Jun Ruoxue was also taken aback by Zhu Yatong's sudden exclamation and wondered what had happened, which drew her attention.

Distracted, Jun Ruoxue didn't notice that something suddenly appeared under her feet, causing her to lose her balance and fall straight into Su Liang's arms.

When Su Liang came to his senses, he saw Jun Ruoxue about to fall, and instinctively reached out his hands to catch her.

However, due to various reasons, their posture at this moment looked somewhat ambiguous.

Jun Ruoxue's face also turned red instantly, though it was unclear whether it was from anger or embarrassment.

But Su Liang paid no attention to any of this, because when he looked up, he was shocked to find Jun Hongyan standing not far away, looking at him expressionlessly.

Seeing Jun Hongyan's expression, Su Liang couldn't help but shudder, and then Jun Ruoxue let go of his hand.

Without Su Liang's support, Jun Ruoxue was caught off guard and fell to the ground, her nose turning bright red.

Standing up, Jun Ruoxue originally wanted to reprimand Su Liang, but when she saw her sister not far away, she was stunned.

Thinking back to the position she and Su Liang had just been in, her originally flushed face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Sister, you've misunderstood!"

"My dear, you've misunderstood!"

Almost simultaneously, Su Liang and Jun Ruoxue both spoke up.

Aside from how they address each other, the two are practically in sync.

Jun Hongyan's already expressionless face now gave off an inexplicably cold feeling.

"My wife, what brings you here? I was just about to come find you later."

Su Liang reacted faster. He greeted Jun Hongyan, then ran behind her, helped her sit down, and massaged her shoulders.

"What, can't I come?"

Su Liang's words only made Jun Hongyan realize that she had come at the wrong time.
