Chapter 1597: Chapter 1598: Infiltrating the Luo Clan
This familiar feeling didn’t allow Su Chengyu to imdiately find a matching figure, as the changes were too drastic; he could only confirm that the other party was soone he had encountered before, and certainly not soone t by re chance.
It absolutely couldn’t be Ao Tian or Bai Qiu. Their connections still existed. No matter how their aura might change, Su Chengyu could always use it to identify them.
Unfortunately, now having entered the Cave Heaven, Su Chengyu could no longer use the Earth Core Lotus to contact Chen ngng and others, or else it would have been more convenient to know the conditions of Bai Qiu and Ao Tian.
“Little Shi, can you recognize it?”
Su Chengyu inwardly addressed the Heaven-nding Stone.
“If I could recognize it, I would have told you already. Can’t you worry less? That one sword, although not as good as your Heaven Cutting Sword, was also the sword move that drained you the most. Wouldn’t it be better to just focus on recovering now?”
“Isn’t the situation not allowing that?”
Su Chengyu chuckled.
“I really don’t get it, it’s just a woman. You care about her, just help her get revenge in the future. Why go to such lengths? This is just courting death…”
Indeed, before entering the Luo Clan’s Blessed Realm, the Heaven-nding Stone had advised Su Chengyu more than once, and now after having entered and sensed the fleeting aura revealed by the Luo Clan, it felt even more despair regarding Su Chengyu’s journey.
An utter dead end.
“There’s no need to say things like this. It’s not just for Nan Zhi, even if you were in danger, I would go all out to save you too.”
“Well then, thank you for that, if that day really cos, I’ll be sure not to let you have any chance to interfere. How about this, can you let off this ti?”
“What do you think?”
The two of them had long moved beyond their initial purely mutualistic relationship, having experienced countless life-and-death situations together, they were now not only companions but also friends.
Therefore, Su Chengyu was no longer as polite to the Heaven-nding Stone as before.
Moreover, involving the Heaven-nding Stone in risks was the least burdenso for Su Chengyu, because while others might be in danger, at worst the Heaven-nding Stone would only fall back into slumber.
As a sacred object ranked even higher than an Immortal Artifact, there are only a handful of thods in the Lower Realm capable of destroying it, and with the current strength of the Heaven-nding Stone, even in the hands of an Earth Immortal, it has extra ability to preserve its basic essence.
“Mixing with you, this Immortal Stone really did get bad karma for eight lifetis. Oh right, let tell you sothing else, I’m not sure if it’s good news or bad news.”
“Speak.”
“That aura you noticed, I also took a look just now. Although I’m equally unsure who it is, one thing is certain, there’s so annoying aura about that guy, similar to those people.”
“Demonic Path?”
“Yes, those guys.”
Su Chengyu furrowed his brows, not quite understanding why those from the Demonic Path would be involved.
After contemplating for a while, Su Chengyu slowly got up and said, “Little Shi, I’ll leave the alert monitoring to you.”
Upon seeing this, the Heaven-nding Stone imdiately said, “At this ti, you still want to infiltrate deep into Su Clan territory?”
Su Chengyu nodded, already having put back on his earlier mask, but this ti he didn’t transform into that woman’s appearance, instead, he changed into an inconspicuous look, as long as he could ensure his aura wasn’t detected as abnormal, that was enough.
“Madman.”
The Heaven-nding Stone cursed Su Chengyu one last ti, too lazy to say anything more, only leaving a strand of Five-colored Sword Qi at Su Chengyu’s forehead.
This way, if he encountered any mishaps, Su Chengyu could still use the Five-Colored Divine Light to barely cope, continuing to disguise as a person of the Luo Clan.
Back on the ground, Su Chengyu imdiately sensed the presence of several People of the Luo Clan nearby, walking in his direction.
Su Chengyu hesitated for a while, then sat down on the ground, putting on a natural appearance of being injured and regulating his breath.
When a few passing mbers of the Luo Clan saw Su Chengyu regulating his breath by the roadside, they quickly approached and started asking questions.
“May I ask if you were injured by that sword strike just now?”
Su Chengyu slowly looked up at them, speaking cautiously, “What is it?”
“No offense, we were just drawn by that sword strike earlier and wanted to see what kind of Sword Montum could compel our ancestor to make a move.”
Su Chengyu glanced at the three and replied indifferently, “The ancestor has made a move, there’s nothing worthwhile to see.”
The three exchanged glances, then the leading dashing young man stepped forward and asked, “Then were you injured by that sword strike?”
“Hmph! What does it have to do with that sword strike? I was rely injured by the residual power unleashed by the ancestor’s action.”
Su Chengyu’s arrogant deanor was both an imitation of the detestable attitude he rembered from the Ancient Clan and a recognition that these individuals seed very interested in him, hence he was trying to gain leverage for himself.
Hearing Su Chengyu’s words, the trio’s eyes lit up with joy, and a beautiful young woman in her pri years quickly asked, “Then you must have seen that sword strike just now, right? How big was that dragon? How much did the water ripple when it headed towards the pool?”
Su Chengyu frowned displeasedly and said, “Why should I tell you guys this!”
After dropping that remark, Su Chengyu stood up pretending he was about to leave.
The leading young master quickly stepped in front of Su Chengyu, starting the conversation proactively, “I see you are healing while sitting by the roadside; it seems you don’t have a dedicated place for cultivation, do you?”
“So what if I don’t, what’s it to you?”
The young master hurriedly explained, “Don’t get wrong, my family just happens to have an ancestral cultivation site, abundant with Spiritual Energy, very suitable for healing…”
“I have a top-grade Gui Yuan Dan here, which I can give to you.”
The woman also chid in.
Though the bait was taken, Su Chengyu still pretended to hesitate and said, “This doesn’t seem right…”
“What’s not right about it! We’re of the sa clan and should help each other. Ling’er, take this brother on your Sword Control and go to my ho.”
“Certainly!”
The woman instantly moved closer to support Su Chengyu, her expression gentle, not hiding the warmth in her gaze.
Watching this, Su Chengyu sneered inwardly, these people from the Ancient Clan, though living in seclusion, did not miss a beat in playing societal roles.
However, at this mont, Su Chengyu did not refuse anymore. He knew that if he continued to act distant, these fellows might likely resort to more forceful ans.
Ling’er took Su Chengyu onto her Flying Sword. Despite the Flying Sword being quite spacious, Ling’er kept a very close distance to Su Chengyu, the faint fragrance wafting towards him, yet his heart remained unmoved as he calmly initiated a conversation.
“Why are you so interested in that sword strike?”
As Su Chengyu spoke, he voiced the question that currently intrigued him the most.
“Because we’ve heard that this sword strike might very well be the work of the foremost individual in the world!”
“The foremost individual in the world?” Su Chengyu voiced his confusion. Although his own sword strike was powerful, it was far from being the ‘foremost in the world.’
“Oh no, that’s incorrect! It should be said to be the foremost among the younger generation, that person nad Long Xuan, you must have heard of him, right?”
