Classic quotes from "My Profession is Too Unique" appear frequently, co find resonance.
"Using Qin Yun's matter to plot against Su Chen, your thieving hearts truly refuse to die!" Qing Cang shouted angrily. His gaze then fell upon Qin Yun again, his eyes cold and stern. "Qin Yun, what are you plotting this ti?"
"I have no plots." Qin Yun shook her head and sighed, "I was born and raised here. Although I intended to act against Su Chen previously, the Bronze Sect is ultimately my ho. How could I sit back and watch the Royal Court subvert it? They have underestimated , Qin Yun, a bit too much."
"Is that so?" A heavy hint of Suspicion flashed across Qing Cang's eyes, but he didn't dwell on the matter. Instead, he asked, "What exactly did you do within the Starfire?"
Zou Wen only said that the Suppressing Hell King would use this matter as leverage, but he didn't know much about what Qin Yun did within the Starfire.
Hearing this, Qin Yun remained silent for a long while before speaking: "It's nothing. Just to escape with my life, I cooperated with the Remnant Spirit, ritualistically killed the other Morning Stars, and trapped the Suppressing Hell King's Spiritual Entity inside."
"You personally killed the Morning Stars of the other sects?" Qing Cang's eyelids twitched. Being killed by the Spirit of the Vast Sun and being killed by Qin Yun were two entirely different matters.
He stared coldly at Qin Yun: "No wonder the Suppressing Hell King was confident in delaying the other sects."
With the Royal Court's strength, they held the advantage when facing any single sect alone. It was only when the Five Great Sects united that the Royal Court would be at a disadvantage.
Lin Langtian and He Chengying's hearts also sank. Everyone understood the principle of being Mutually Dependent, but when it involved enmity and grudges, it was sowhat different.
Behind every Morning Star that died within the Starfire was a massive faction.
Qin Yun had essentially severed their greatest reliance. Once this matter spread, the internal factions of the various major sects would probably explode. They would inevitably want to kill Qin Yun, and by extension, they wouldn't be polite to the Bronze Sect either.
What the Suppressing Hell King wanted wasn't for the others to truly stand by and watch, but to delay them. As long as they created a ti gap, allowing them to obtain the final result.
Even if the other sects finished pacifying their internal affairs and then went to support the Bronze Sect, it would be too late.
"What are your plans regarding this matter?" Qing Cang also guessed the Royal Court's thoughts, but he looked towards Qin Yun.
Qin Yun raised her head and said solemnly: "Right now, imdiately use this matter to execute with proper punishnt and notify the various major sects. At the sa ti, contact Senior Brother Chu Lingyuan and inform him of this matter."
Hearing these words, a flash of astonishnt crossed the eyes of Lin Langtian and He Chengying.
After remaining silent for a long while, Qing Cang shook his head and said, "We can no longer contact Chu Lingyuan. I estimate the Suppressing Hell King has already made his move."
As early as the first mont he learned of this matter, he had tried to contact Chu Lingyuan, but there had been no news until now.
"As for executing you with proper punishnt..." Qing Cang pondered. If it were useful, he would have killed Qin Yun at the first opportunity. But this matter was rely a pretext for the Royal Court.
Even if they killed her now, the Royal Court would still have sothing to say, doubting whether it was real, and continuing their plan under the guise of demanding the corpse.
Lin Langtian hesitated slightly and said in a low voice: "The Ancient Kings have already agreed on a Ritual Sacrifice every three months. That is to say, the Royal Court must conclude matters within these three months. Otherwise, the next ti he communicates with the Ancient Kings, he won't be able to account for it."
To kill Qin Yun over this matter, probably not even the Bronze Ancient King would object. But to further sche against Su Chen and even the Bronze Sect would be unjustifiable.
What the Royal Court needed to do was obtain results within three months, and prevent the other sects from coming to the Bronze Sect's aid.
"Three months..." Qing Cang's brows furrowed tightly. "Since the Royal Court has made their move, they've probably prepared adequately. The Starfire cannot be mobilized; we can only rely on the power left behind by the Ancient King to maintain..."
He knew the Starfire's situation like the back of his hand. The Core Fog-Embers had yet to be purified. Right now, they were rely maintaining a balance, not thoroughly resolving it.
If they had the Starfire supplying energy, let alone three months, three years wouldn't be a problem.
But right now, he wasn't too sure if they could actually hold out for three months...
I don't know if Su Chen can purify the Core Fog-Embers, Qing Cang couldn't help but think. But the Core Fog-Embers were different from the outer and middle layers; it wasn't just an increase in intensity...
If it were anyone else, he definitely wouldn't hold out any hope. But if it were Su Chen, perhaps he could give it a try...
Unfortunately... he had only just advanced to the 7th-Tier not long ago, and his strength had yet to climb to its peak. If they waited a bit longer, the chances might be greater.
Lin Langtian cast a glance at Qin Yun and secretly transmitted a spiritual fluctuation: "Senior Brother Qing Cang, right now, two of the Seven Great Seat Chiefs have been taken away by Senior Brother Chu Lingyuan. Only we remain in the Sect, an unprecedented weakness. If Venerable Qin Yun truly repents, perhaps..."
Qing Cang's expression darkened, but he didn't respond. He only said, "First issue a high alert order, activate the highest defense chanism, mobilize the Bronze Sect Army, and have all high-level Class-Users under our command stand by."
Right at this mont, hurried footsteps suddenly rang out. A person clad in armor arrived here with a panicked expression, speaking rapidly: "Qing Shi! Su Chen... Star Seed Su Chen! He... he... he's disappeared!"
"Disappeared?"
In an instant, the gazes within this room all turned to look simultaneously. Even Qin Yun cast a Doubtful and Uncertain gaze.
"What do you an 'disappeared'?"
Qing Cang's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, a hint of panic in his eyes. Even when he had just learned that the three great Morning Stars of the Royal Court were coming, he hadn't shown such a reaction.
"As a result, we searched high and low across the Floating Island, but couldn't find Star Seed Su Chen's whereabouts. We also pulled the transit records from the Port and found that he hadn't left either..."
As his voice fell, Qing Cang had already vanished.
He Chengying and Lin Langtian exchanged a glance, feeling faintly uneasy. The Royal Court intended to act against Su Chen, yet Su Chen had disappeared within the Bronze Core...
Qin Yun also felt Suspicion rise. Did the Remnant Spirit run away?
If that was the case, then what was the point of all his self-directed acting?
In the center of Su Chen's Floating Island, Qing Cang's figure suddenly appeared. With tightly furrowed brows, he swept his gaze around. Azure wind currents surged out, instantly filling every corner of the Floating Island.
He truly didn't find any trace of Su Chen.
"Where on earth did he go? This is the Bronze Core! Who could take him away Silent and Stealthy?" Qing Cang's expression was ashen. He stepped into the Main Building. "Activate Administrator Access Level. I want to access all records related to this Floating Island..."
But before his voice even fell, a Virtual Screen had already popped up: "Detected a user with high-level access entering this area under temporary lockdown permissions. Target: Qing Cang. Triggering scene event..."
"Respected Your Excellency Qing Cang, Your Excellency Su Chen left a ssage for you."
"A ssage... Su Chen?" Qing Cang was stunned. He hurriedly accessed it. The Virtual Screen popped up, and Su Chen was in the center of the fra. The background was precisely the Training Room. His tone was unhurried:
"Senior Brother, by the ti you see this video, you've probably discovered that I've inexplicably disappeared."
"However, don't be nervous. I will likely appear after so ti. There's no need to mobilize any forces to look for , nor do you need to worry about ."
This brat... Qing Cang's brows furrowed tightly, wondering under what circumstances this was recorded. Moreover, this was the Bronze Core! Where on earth did Su Chen...
Before his Thoughts could settle, a voice ca from the footage. Su Chen in the footage seed to guess what he was thinking and grinned:
"I know, you must have many questions you want to ask, and you're also very doubtful. But please don't be anxious, just wait. Because being anxious is useless anyway..."
Qing Cang's expression froze. First he felt irritated, then he found it sowhat amusing. However, his heart was considerably eased.
There were many secrets on Su Chen; Qing Cang had always known this.
Since this disappearance should be Su Chen's independent choice and not soone taking him away, he felt much more relieved.
Hmm... perhaps it's not without its benefits, Qing Cang suddenly thought. At least, even if the Royal Court truly breached the Sect, they wouldn't be able to find Su Chen...
Thinking this, his expression grew increasingly cold. "Royal Court, if you truly think my Bronze Sect is A Sure Thing, you're thinking too simply!"
...
"Taixuan Tianyi?"
Su Chen landed beside Taixuan Tianyi and called out.
Hearing this, Taixuan Tianyi's eyes moved, seemingly regaining his senses. Looking at Su Chen standing before him, his heart was filled with sorrow.
It's over, everything is over.
A Challenge that seed like nothing had actually severed his possibility of becoming The Chosen.
A loser couldn't beco The Chosen again.
How could this be?
He recalled his boundless ambition when he ca in. It had only been a few months, yet only a patch of dejection remained in his heart.
The things that happened in between were completely different from what he had expected, and from what the family had expected.
The family's expectations, the deep-seated blood feud; everything had co to naught.
He didn't even have the face to see those venerable elders in the family who had placed high hopes on him again, nor could he articulate the humiliation and helplessness he had suffered here.
He closed his eyes in pain, his voice hoarse: "Kill ."
Harboring a death wish? Su Chen was speechless. He said, "Why would I kill you?"
He had already promised the Spirit of the Vast Sun. Since he had accepted the benefits, he definitely wouldn't break his word. But it was also impossible to let the other party know that he couldn't kill him.
Hearing these words, Taixuan Tianyi opened his eyes in astonishnt: "You're not planning to kill ?"
During their battle earlier, he had used so petty sches. Moreover, if the other party had lost, he would have had to drag the other party out and hand him over to those old fogeys.
"Sigh." Su Chen was careless. As he leaned back, a chair surfaced: "It's not like there's any deep-seated blood feud between us. What you did was also just coerced by those old fogeys outside."
"Killing you brings no benefits. Besides, I have so questions I want to ask you."
"Cough, cough, cough."
Taixuan Tianyi coughed dryly a few tis, a bitter smile flitting across his face: "After asking, won't you still kill ?"
He didn't believe Su Chen would truly hold back.
"Tsk..." Su Chen shook his head and sighed, "Look at you. Whether true or false, at least we have one thing in common—those guys outside are definitely Enemies."
"You were even willing to cooperate with them, so why are you unwilling to clarify my doubts?"
Hearing these words, fury surged in Taixuan Tianyi's heart.
It was indeed so. Over these past few months, those guys outside had researched him inside and out. It was even more humiliating than being stripped naked.
He said in a deep voice, "Not bad, you're right. Ask away."
"Why did you call Su... Su sothing or other earlier?" Su Chen seed sowhat puzzled.
"Su Chen." Taixuan Tianyi propped up his body and sat up, bouts of severe pain coming from his chest. "They suspect you're a guy from the Dust Star Sea, and even a student of one of them."
"Why would they have this kind of association?" Su Chen was curious.
"Because through the ritual sacrifice light pillar, I discovered that the location you entered from should be very close to this Starfire. I just ntioned it offhandedly; who knew that group of people would associate it with so Su Chen?"
Taixuan Tianyi explained it relaxedly and casually.
Su Chen fell silent for a mont. He really kinda wanted to kill this guy right now.
Forget it, he had already collected the benefits, and killing this guy wouldn't salvage the situation anyway.
"So that's how it is." He feigned relaxedness, turning the question: "Then what is the current situation of our Taixuan House?"
"Our Taixuan..." Taixuan Tianyi fell silent, but didn't dwell on it. "Our population is withering. Because of the Solar Profession, we've constantly been facing pursuit."
As expected, there are many who covet the Solar Profession... Su Chen wasn't surprised either. He asked, "Pursuit? Pursued by whom?"
"Who else could it be?" Taixuan Tianyi smiled miserably. "The Pillars of the Abyssal Domain."
Su Chen had been curious about the Abyssal Domain for a long ti. The Remnant Spirit kept saying his mory was blurry, so this person was clearly a suitable target for understanding it.
He asked many questions, and Taixuan Tianyi answered them for him one by one.
"The Abyssal Domain currently has Five Pillars in total. They are Great Heaven, Buddha Land, Longevity, Machine Domain, and High Heaven... Every Pillar possesses a Solar Holy Sovereign."
Buddha Land... High Heaven. These nas... Su Chen imdiately associated them with quite a few things from his past life.
"However, because our Taixuan House is being pursued, we have always wandered near the Nether Mist. Much of our information is outdated, but there shouldn't be any major changes."
Saying this, he smiled bitterly. "If the Holy Sovereign hadn't been entangled by The Final Ruin back then, driven mad all day long, my Taixuan House couldn't have declined to this point."
Su Chen grew thoughtful. He stood up and said, "Alright, I'm done asking questions. You can go too."
"Go? You're really not going to kill ?" Taixuan Tianyi looked at the figure before him in astonishnt. For so reason, a bit of admiration actually welled up in his heart.
"I said I wouldn't kill you. Go."
Taixuan Tianyi took a deep breath and said earnestly, "During our battle just now, I offended you... After I get out, I won't leak any details of our battle just now."
Su Chen waved his hand: "No need."
"Additionally, the Spirit of the Vast Sun just said it was going to expel you out. I estimate it can be considered protecting you in a disguised form. Our Taixuan House offered sacrifices to it for so many years; at the very least, it's still sowhat useful."
"Expel out?" Taixuan Tianyi paused, a bout of complex emotions surging in his heart. He looked at Su Chen again and bowed deeply, "Your Excellency's grace will be engraved in my heart."
When he ca here, the years of sacrificial sentint had no effect whatsoever. Yet, on the brink of death, it protected his life. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
A pillar of light descended from the heavens, enveloping him within and slowly pulling him upwards. The surroundings also reverted back to the Cultivation Sanctum.
Very soon, a voice ca from outside The Hall again. It was still the Xuantian Ancient King's smiling face that made one want to punch it: "Little friend's abilities truly astonish us. To forcefully defeat even a True Brilliance Talent."
These old fogeys... Su Chen was silent for a mont. He collected so of Taixuan Tianyi's scattered blood; who knows when it might be of use.
Right now, this group of people had already associated it with "Su Chen." Even if they weren't certain, after getting out, they would inevitably find him to verify it.
Then, should he still give them the thod to leave?
If he didn't give it, it seed he wouldn't be able to get the Radiant Moon Bone!
Hmm... It doesn't seem entirely impossible. After all, I can use the 'Fire Pillar' to travel within the Spiritual Tower. With them staying here, the obstruction to isn't that great anymore...
As Su Chen thought this, he pinched a Phantom Image and walked out of the Cultivation Sanctum.
"Gentlen." He swept his gaze over the several Ancient Kings, not standing on ceremony in the slightest. "I really want to beat you all to death, one by one."
