Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: The Pact of the Earth Immortal

"Dead, one of them?"

In the Long family’s grand estate, Longzhan looked at the person who had returned, barely alive, and was very surprised. Then, after thinking for a moment, he spoke, "How much effort did that Zhuang family kid put forth?"

"Zhuang Yihan hardly took any action, it was that Su Chengyu who stopped us by himself."

"Hmm? Did this guy really enter the Nascent Soul Realm?" Longzhan frowned and asked.

The severely injured Nascent Soul Cultivator pondered for a moment before speaking, "My lord, wasn’t there a rumor that this guy took care of the Ping Shan Demon Monarch?"

"I know! If it weren’t for the strangeness of this matter, would I need you to test his strength?" Longzhan said fiercely.

The Nascent Soul Cultivator blinked and didn’t dare to speak, knowing that sending them again was like sending them to their deaths.

"A guy who was still in the Golden Core Realm one or two months ago, in two months’ time, at most he would have just entered the Nascent Soul. Even if he really took part in the killing of the Ping Shan Demon Monarch, he couldn’t possibly have contributed the most. I sent you just to probe how capable he truly is."

Longzhan had tried to take down Su Chengyu more than once. The death of Longhe in a foreign land hadn’t sent any news back, and those from the Demon Clan who were in contact with the Long family had lost complete contact with Xia Country after their failure, and even now Longzhan didn’t understand how Su Chengyu had survived those two crises.

With the spread of the story of Su Chengyu’s killing of the Ping Shan Demon Monarch, Longzhan decided to take a risky move before coming to the Capital City.

Acting on his own without the emperor’s consent, Longzhan was well aware of the severity of the matter. To prepare for the worst-case scenario, he only allowed the two individuals who took action to probe primarily and not harbor any intent to kill.

In this way, even if the matter was exposed, they could still give an explanation to those above.

Who would have known that the carefully instructed pair, one died, and the other brought back a message that was unclear, only confirming that the individual was in the Nascent Soul Realm without even knowing which phase, early, middle, or late, they were in.

"Lord Longzhan, no wonder he was very alert, we were discovered just as we were about to make a move. Moreover, with Zhuang Yihan present, we couldn’t fully exert ourselves."

Su Chengyu’s hidden strength, this guy was also suppressing his own realm.

At the time, Su Chengyu’s judgment was correct. If he truly had the intent to kill, facing this individual whose real strength was actually in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, killing him wouldn’t have been impossible.

But he would have to expose all his trump cards, otherwise he definitely couldn’t stop this Nascent Soul Cultivator who was trying to escape with all his might, and once there was a mistake, not only would Su Chengyu completely expose his strength as close to Hollow Vacuum, but more importantly, the Dragon Slayer Sword might be leaked too.

"So, what should we do? The Dragon Soul Department specifically arranged Zhuang Yihan to bring him back, which was a clear sign that they were certain we wouldn’t dare to touch him over Zhuang Yihan. This kid doesn’t have much strength, but that relationship behind him can’t be ignored either."

Dragon Soul Eighteen Guards’ Longzhan didn’t need to regard it seriously. As long as there wasn’t a blatant, baseless killing, what could happen if they killed both Su Chengyu and a Dragon Soul Eighteen Guard under a well-planned scheme?

Even if it was known that the Long family did it, could the Dragon Soul Bureau Master Ye Qingming truly tear their face with the Long family completely?

But Zhuang Yihan was different. If Zhuang Yihan died, the one in the Imperial Palace would definitely demand the Long family to give an explanation, and the Long family wasn’t about to shoot themselves in the foot.

"My lord, there’s no need to worry so much. Isn’t there news from within the Imperial Palace that the one above isn’t very satisfied with this Su Chengyu? And because of this matter, Princess Lin An is still under house arrest. Perhaps the lord does not need to lift a finger, and Su Chengyu will be dealt with clearly once he comes to the Capital City."

"What if?!" A warning glint flashed in Longzhan’s eyes, instantly silencing the Nascent Soul individual who dared not speak further.

Longzhan’s brows locked tightly as he spoke softly, "Three failed assassination attempts, if he’s not a fool, he would definitely guess that there’s a shadow of my Long family behind it. Once he truly rises high and ascends, there might be no issue for ten years, but what about after ten years? My Long family will face a catastrophe!"

Longzhan’s wariness of Su Chengyu stemmed from this; a Loose Cultivator who killed Long Li could be spared, but a Loose Cultivator who might become a son-in-law had to die!

"So what does the lord plan to do now? He should have already entered the Capital City by now, and even if the lord wanted to act, it would be too late. Moreover, the Hollow Vacuum in the estate has been under close watch lately..."

The Long family’s Hollow Vacuum served the Long family directly, but each of them had a record with the Xia Nation Official.

Although Longzhan found a loophole, allowing Dragon Crane, a peak Nascent Soul Realm individual, to pursue Su Chengyu at sea, it was precisely because of that failure that the Xia Nation watched the Long family’s Hollow Vacuum even more closely. Otherwise, how could the person who attacked Su Chengyu outside the Capital City this time only be at the Nascent Soul Realm?

As Longzhan was in a difficult situation, the previously mentioned steward of the Long family slowly walked in. Seeing the steward, who had been with the Long family since he was young, Longzhan cast a glance his way and softly asked, "What’s the matter? Is there an emergency?"

"Lord Longzhan, the young master has returned."

Longzhan raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Why has he returned?"

The steward shook his head. It was well known among the Long family that Long Xuan had been cultivating quietly at Mount Longhu. Although he had come out of seclusion recently, it was said that he had traveled far. The Long family wasn’t even aware that he had visited Dongying.

"My lord?"

Seeing that Longzhan had suddenly become distracted, the injured Nascent Soul subconsciously spoke up.

Longzhan came back to his senses, "You may leave, tend to your wounds, and make sure no one notices anything suspicious."

"Yes."

The wounded Nascent Soul quickly left, and only after he had completely disappeared did Longzhan speak again, "When will Xuan’er come to see me?"

"He went to see the ancestor first. After paying his respects at the ancestral shrine, he should come to see the master."

Longzhan nodded, knowing that even though Long Xuan was reclusive and rarely interacted with the Long family, he never neglected the necessary courtesies.

After pacing for a while, Longzhan stood up and said, "Never mind, I’ll go see him."

With that, Longzhan got up and headed straight for the ancestral shrine.

Just as he reached the entrance of the ancestral shrine, Longzhan saw Long Xuan offering incense.

Taking the opportunity, Longzhan entered the shrine and also took three sticks of incense to join Long Xuan in the offering.

Noticing the newcomer, Long Xuan glanced sideways and said, "Father."

"Hmm, it’s rare for you to be back, so I’ll join you in offering incense."

Long Xuan, hearing this answer that was obviously not genuine, didn’t say anything and just continued with the ritual.

When everything was finished, Longzhan, who walked out of the ancestral shrine with Long Xuan, finally said, "Xuan’er, although your return was sudden, there’s something that I need you to do..."

"I won’t lay a hand on Su Chengyu."

Before Longzhan could finish, Long Xuan, as if anticipating what Longzhan was about to say, immediately refused.

Just as Longzhan was about to speak, Long Xuan went on, "This is a promise I made. Of course, it doesn’t mean we can never confront each other, but we must wait until he reaches the Earth Immortal."

Waiting until you are an Earth Immortal, Su Chengyu was unaware that Ye Qingci’s seemingly joking words were also her promise with Long Xuan.

Ye Qingci, who once did not hold Su Chengyu in high regard, now believed more than anyone that Su Chengyu was destined to become an Earth Immortal!
