The woman shook her head and sighed, but the ordinary-looking middle-aged man did not answer. Suddenly, he stopped sweeping and turned his head to look outside the door, with a fierce gaze.
“What’s wrong?”
The woman glanced suspiciously at the entrance of the courtyard but saw no one. She could not help but ask.
A trace of confusion also appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man, and after he confirmed repeatedly, he shook his head, “I mistook. It’s nothing.”
Meanwhile, Su Li was standing on a stone platform hundreds of meters away from the courtyard, looking at the courtyard in warmth and peace. She seemed to think something from her deep eyes.
“That person could sense my trace, so his cultivation must be higher than Huashen Realm.”
There was a practitioner in Huashen Realm standing behind Su Dieyin?
Su Li pondered. The relationship between that person and Su Dieyin’s mother was obviously n
“Enough with your hurly-burly! How indecent!”Just as the groups were arguing in the hall, an angry grunt came through the hall straightly into the ears of the crowd, like the matin bells and vesper drums deafened the crowd for a moment.At the same time, a hunched figure appeared in front of the bedchamber and came next to Su Dingxian before the crowd even blinked. His eyes swept across the room indifferently.“Why is he here?!”Once Su Xianyun saw the face of the old man, his heart thumped, and he said a four-letter word secretly, forcing himself to bow respectfully and greeting unanimously with other elders.“Old ancestor!”“Old ancestor!”“Old ancestor...”The hunched elder nodded, but his face full of age spots was indifferent. Only when he looked at Su Dingxian, a little warmth emerged on his face.This person, was the biggest backer of Su Dingxian, also the roo
On the same day, in Yiyun Yard.Su Yuanhai’s face was pale, but his expression was incomparably respectful. He was standing in front of the desk in the room and asked with a hint of surprise in his tone, “Master, why are you here? If you told me before, I would prepare some refreshments.”Su Li did not answer, flipping through the intelligence reports received recently, with her eyebrows furrowing.Seeing this, Su Yuanhai immediately added aside, “We have sent a lot of people to the spirit stone mine, so has the sixth branch. Therefore, conflicts are inevitable ...”“How did you get hurt?”Su Li raised her head and a bright light flashed in her eyes.Su Yuanhai covered his chest and hastily replied, “To tell you the truth, Master, besides Su Jinnan, the sixth branch has invited another senior, whose cultivation should not be lower than the late stage of Yuanying Realm. I didn’t pay enough attention in the
Su Li never thought that she could realize the goal by herself alone, so she needed many more talents. Besides the annexation of different sects, if she met right talents, she would not let any of them go.Su Mian was born with a sensitive instinct, and Su Li appreciated that. But only time would tell whether this person could meet her standard in the future.A few moments later, Su Li and Su Mian walked out of the main tent, while Su Yuanhai stayed to preside over the overall situation.“Go to the mining cave occupied by the Sixth Branch.”Su Li faintly instructed. Su Mian led the way instantly and consciously didn’t ask a single question.They left the camp, walked through the dark forest, and arrived at the back of a small hill after about an hour.Although a black mist obstructed the sight, Su Li saw miners coming and going in the pitted minefield inside the col in her first sight. The incessant clank
“Senior, what are you looking at?”Su Mian was confused by the stare and asked. Then, he suddenly felt a slight thing on his shoulder, and a cold pneuma blew nearly from his earlobe side.“What is it?”Su Mian froze and was about to turn around subconsciously. At this very moment, Su Li waved her hand and Su Mian didn’t help but move forward. And the thing on his shoulder fell down, following a sound of rolling on the ground behind him.He was about to turn around out of curiosity, but Su Li pushed the back of his head and walked further into the corridor.“Don’t look. You will lose your appetite.”Su Li said faintly and loosed him.Su Li’s words intrigued Su Mian’s more curiosity.Before they walked far away, he couldn’t restrain his inner curiosity and silently took a glimpse.Just a glimpse, he saw the creature wriggling on the ground.What was that?
Zi Sha’s delicate face showed surprise, because she obviously did not expect Su Li to agree so quickly.In her experience, all those humans who were trapped here by her promised or refused her after a struggle.Even if there were some different people, they could just keep calm outwardly but struggle in their hearts.With her talent, she could easily sense their emotional changes.But she could only sense calmness from Su Li.The real calmness.It seemed that her request was just a matter like eating or drinking, and Su Li didn’t worry about her life.“What do you want to know?”A flash flickered in Zi Sha’s crystal-clear eyes, and she said with a smile, “It is my first time to meet someone as interesting as you. For this reason, I will answer the question whatever you ask.”Su Li curled her lips slightly, “I had the question for quite a while. Why did you ask me to d
“Drained away?!”Mo Liang looked oddly at the disciple from the Sixth Branch who reported. He would absolutely think this disciple was talking bullshit if many disciples around didn’t nod.“Even if you’re telling the truth and there are people who can verify what you said...”Mo Liang took a breath and felt annoyed. No one would ever believe it.He could see that Su Jinnan valued the demon crystals more than his own life. If he knew that all the demon crystals exploited by his family had turned into stones, he would go crazy.Su Jinnan was crazy indeed.He lowered his head, suppressed the anger in his heart, knelt on the ground, and squeezed out two words from his teeth, “Old Ancestor!”“You still know that I am your old ancestor?”The elder with an aquiline nose grunted coldly. A moment later, Su Dieyin arrived. Her look changed slightly as she saw the empty camp of the Seventh B
Su Jinnan covered his mouth and coughed up some blood, but he continued regardless of the blood, “But those angry practitioners from other great regions will not care whether you have nothing to do with this or not. If you still stay here, your life will be in danger. So... go now!”“Head of the Sixth Branch, you...”Mo Liang was moved. He suddenly thought of something and said in a hurry, “Many disciples of the Sixth Branch can verify that the demonic pneuma inside the demon crystals was drained away by something! Unless something unexpected happened, all demon crystals in the minefield have become stones as well. You can explain this to them...”“It is useless. You are still too naive, Fellow Practitioner Mo.”Su Jinnan shook his head, “Unless I can find what drained the demonic pneuma. I must face the mistake I made alone. Keep you out of the mess. You are just a helping boxer invited by me.”Mo Liang stared at Su J
There was a common mortal restaurant on the street side.The middle-aged man in linen fixed his eyes on a woman in red who sat next to a window on the second floor. Only half of her face could be seen.That face... was extremely familiar!He would never forget that face.However, the soul behind this face should have been scattered long ago!Being shocked, the middle-aged man in linen disappeared in place and flashed to the window on the second floor regardless of the shocking gaze of mortals.“It’s a practitioner. Run!”“Ah!”“...”The second floor of the restaurant was originally full of guests. In the blink of an eye, it became empty. The woman in red was stunned. She stared at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her and didn’t dare to move.The middle-aged man in linen stared at the woman in red and didn’t speak a word for a while.
