Chapter 1252: Chapter 1252 My Last Name is Zhao

As soon as Su Chengyu spoke, even Ye Qingci couldn’t help but frown slightly.

She didn’t think that Su Chengyu had failed to notice the hint she had just given.

Looking at the resolute Su Chengyu in front of her, Ye Qingci could hardly avoid feeling some doubt.

Had he been provoked? Why did he choose to act so ostentatiously?

The Su Chengyu she knew did sometimes act recklessly, but he was definitely not someone who liked to voluntarily place himself in the limelight, whether in the Kunwu Realm or previously in Longjiang.

In Ye Qingci’s observation, Su Chengyu was almost always pushed to the forefront reluctantly, rarely making the decision to step to the front as he was doing now.

Therefore, she could only conclude that Su Chengyu had been provoked and had reasons he could not avoid acting this way.

In fact, Su Chengyu’s choice was indeed a forced one.

Firstly, he understood that the people from the Long family, the Su Clan, and even the Yu Clan would eventually take action against him.

Since he was in the light and his enemies in the dark, rather than waiting for them to make a move, it was better to proactively give them a chance to find him.

Secondly, the appearance of Ji Yuguang had given him a clear ultimatum.

Even if they weren’t going to act against Su Chengyu in the short term, he couldn’t guarantee that this State Preceptor of Xia Country, second only to the emperor, wouldn’t actually make a move against him.

Time waits for no one, and Su Chengyu needed to resolve the numerous troubles surrounding him as soon as possible.

Moreover, regarding the Demon Extermination Conference, Su Chengyu had already realized that the longer he stayed in the Capital City, the more of his strengths he would reveal.

During the Demon Extermination Conference, Su Chengyu nearly couldn’t restrain himself from using the Dragon Slayer Sword. Rather than dragging it out and even if he could continue to conceal the Dragon Slayer Sword, his true capabilities would certainly be thoroughly understood by these people sooner or later. It was better to take advantage of the fact that these people still didn’t know much about him and resolve these troubles quickly.

This wasn’t the best choice, but to swiftly cut through the chaos and carve out a foothold for himself in the Capital City, this was definitely the most sensible decision.

Su Chengyu’s seemingly arrogant decision caused quite a stir within the Lin Family’s Residence, setting aside the noble families and aristocratic families for the moment; the Nine Ancient Tribes, to a greater or lesser extent, all had some grievances with Su Chengyu.

After all, this year’s Kunwu Realm Ancient Clans suffered heavy losses. Apart from a part that everyone knew had died at the hands of the current princess, Lin An, many died under mysterious circumstances.

Plus, with someone from the Yu Clan accusing Su Chengyu, despite the lack of explicit evidence, the impression of Su Chengyu among the Ancient Clans was not too favorable.

However, Su Chengyu’s overly audacious behavior now caused them to feel somewhat wary.

"This kid really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth," scoffed a man from the Luo Clan, somewhat itching to try his hand.

A woman beside him took his hand and gently shook her head, as they had received orders after arriving in the Capital City to avoid opposing this man as much as possible.

"Hmph, I really don’t know what kind of spell Luo Nanzhi has cast on the elders. She’s merely a sacrifice, yet why do they respect her decisions so much?"

The woman from the Luo Clan didn’t speak; she also didn’t understand, but after returning from the Kunwu Realm, Luo Nanzhi indeed seemed different from the empty shell she once was, although she could not pinpoint exactly what had changed.

From the Cloud Tribe, there was an Elder from the Hollow Realm who had arrived in the Capital City, and naturally, the younger generation looked to this elder for cues.

However, this Elder from the Hollow Realm simply shook his head after giving Su Chengyu a glance, and the descendants of the Cloud Tribe naturally dismissed the idea of taking advantage of Su Chengyu.

The Ji Clan, the Yao Clan, the Ying Clan, the Jiang Clan, and the Xiao Clan, the five major Ancient Clans, did entertain the idea of testing the waters, but after a discussion, they unanimously decided to temporarily observe the situation.

It wasn’t that they were unwilling, but they had all witnessed Su Chengyu’s strength at the Demon Extermination Conference.

Considering the Wasteland Sky Halberd, they did not have the confidence in guaranteeing a victory over Su Chengyu.

Even though he was utterly unwilling to admit it, he now had no choice but to acknowledge that the young man standing before him, a Loose Cultivator from the wilderness, was indeed a rare gem among his generation.

Without any other choice, the normally cautious Ancient Clan would absolutely not make an enemy of such a person.

Soon, all gazes turned towards the Yu Clan’s side, especially since Yu Ruo, who was of the Yu Clan, was the main advocate for the claim that Su Chengyu had killed most of the members of the Ancient Clan. Besides the Su Clan, who had a surname dispute with them, it was naturally possible that the Yu Clan would enter the battle.

"Young Master, why not try taking action?"

The mature female servant beside Yu Ruo, noticing the surrounding gazes, spoke softly.

Yu Ruo said nothing and looked towards the Yu Clan Elder who had come along, saying, "Elder Ying, if I were to confront this fellow, what are the chances of victory in your opinion?"

"If he does not use the Immortal Artifact, Young Master, you have a great chance of victory."

"What if he uses it?" Yu Ruo continued.

"Our Yu Clan also possesses an Immortal Artifact."

The Yu Clan Elder said blandly, though Yu Ruo currently did not have an Immortal Artifact with him. However, if he were truly to engage in a life-and-death battle with Su Chengyu,

he would definitely return to the Yu Clan personally, request the old ancestor, and make sure Yu Ruo had the right to use the Yu Clan’s Immortal Artifact.

At that moment, he did not believe Su Chengyu would still have a chance of victory.

Hearing this response, Yu Ruo chuckled lightly and looked at Su Chengyu, saying, "The fear is that this fellow is hiding not only an Immortal Artifact but also other tricks."

The female servant beside him whispered softly, "Young Master, do you not plan to get involved?"

Yu Ruo snorted softly, "Why should I meddle in this matter? I am not that idiot Yu Feng; if he were here, he would definitely choose to take action."

"Young Master Feng would not be a match for this person."

The Yu Clan Elder calmly stated, providing his judgment.

Yu Ruo was not surprised and changed the subject, "What about that girl Yu Shuang?"

The Yu Clan Elder did not respond immediately and fell into contemplation, seemingly unable to provide an immediate answer to this question.

"Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Even if Yu Shuang were here, I reckon she wouldn’t take action. Recently, she seems to have some conflicts with her brother. I don’t care about their branch’s troubles."

In his eyes, Yu Ruo did not hide his disdain.

"No one else?"

Su Chengyu, seeing no movement from the Ancient Clan’s side, asked again.

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, a figure appeared at the door.

"Although I should technically have no quarrel with you, may I participate in this life-and-death challenge?"

Su Chengyu turned to look at the stranger who had suddenly appeared, puzzled, "Who are you?"

"My surname is Zhao."

With just three simple words, Su Chengyu’s heart sank to the bottom.

Looking at the genteel young man in front of him, Su Chengyu took a deep breath and nodded, "Of course."

Princess Lin An, Zhao Ziyuan, was the most beloved and youngest daughter of the current Heavenly Son, and she had many brothers and sisters above her.
