Chapter 1537: Chapter 1538: As Guests Arrive, So Comes the Storm

A single Sword strike had just killed a Martial King who tried to spy on Qilong Court from the outside, but Su Chengyu’s mind state did not fluctuate at all.

He could no longer remember how many waves of spies had tried to approach Qilong Court today—from Supreme level to Martial Saint, and now sending a Martial Artist who had not reached the Transcendent Entering Holiness standard to spy; it was clear the opposition had understood that Su Chengyu would leave no room for anyone attempting to get close.

Getting close meant death, so the ones dispatched had all become doomed to die.

In Xia Country, it might be hard to find a Martial Saint, but there were far too many stuck at the Martial King Realm unable to achieve Transcendent Entering Holiness.

In different departments, states, and provinces, they might still be influential figures, but in this place, they were merely the vanguard sent to their deaths.

Although Su Chengyu was not a man inclined to killing, since this group of people came with clear hostility, he would definitely not give them any chance to catch their breath.

"Chengyu, this is the thirty-seventh wave. Based on the formation you provided and the Great Array of Tai Xiang Wan Qing which I personally laid out, the other side should have mostly figured it out by now. Do you really not need to find some help?"

"Rest easy, teacher, I have a clear picture in my mind. Besides..."

Su Chengyu paused for a moment, raising his hand to catch a one-way carrier pigeon that was coming from a distance. After taking it, the pigeon instantly turned into nature’s spiritual energy and dissipated into nothingness, and then he continued.

"Who else can I ask for help? Zhao Shijue?"

Now in the Capital City, Ye Qingci is not around, neither is Yang Junmo, nor even Long Xuan. Apart from Zhao Shijue, who had just formed an alliance with him, he truly had no one else to turn to.

Su Chengyu knew that once he asked, Zhao Shijue would at least help him find assistance at the Martial Emperor level.

But who could be certain that this Martial Emperor wouldn’t stab him in the back at a critical moment?

After all, with Zhao Shijue’s forces, there wasn’t a Martial Emperor strong enough to be of full assistance to him, completely following his orders.

Qiu Tianlin sighed slightly, annoyed that it was not convenient for him to directly intervene. Otherwise, once the opposition detected his identity reaching the heavens, not only would he bring trouble upon himself, but it would directly implicate Su Chengyu as well.

"If you really cannot hold them off, I will do my utmost to get you out of the Capital City. Then, you won’t need to worry about anything and should try to escape overseas. Even if those old farts from the Capital City make their move, I am confident I can hold them off for a while."

"Don’t worry, teacher. Even if I can’t win, I still have confidence in protecting myself," Su Chengyu replied with a smile, but Qiu Tianlin just shook his head, understanding that Su Chengyu was just trying to comfort him.

After all, the people probing the Taiqing Myriad Great Formation these past few days were not solely from a single faction. Ancient Clan Hermits and Stinger Sect were also involved, contributing a great many assassins and Death Soldiers. Qiu Tianlin even suspected that the Demonic Path and Nether Clan were lurking, ready to stir troubled waters for their advantage.

These people, unknown to him because of whose deployment, had united together; expending so much effort, they must want to kill Su Chengyu once and for all.

"The reason you let Yan’er and Bai Huang leave early was because you sensed something, right?"

Su Chengyu just smiled and did not respond, instead he began to read the secret message Su Zi had sent to him.

The first thing written was naturally regarding the Su Clan not wanting to cooperate with him.

It wasn’t a surprising answer that disappointed Su Chengyu too much. While he hoped for further cooperation with the Su Clan to better understand the internal situation of the clan, he also knew that this couldn’t be forced. After all, not everyone in the Su Clan was foolish, and the fact that Su Zi had successfully secured the position of the Su Clan’s head in Capital City was enough for Su Chengyu to be satisfied.

It was only upon seeing that the Su Clan not only wanted him dead but also did not wish to spare Ye Qingci that Su Chengyu felt somewhat angry.

After all, when it comes down to it, Su Zi’s sword strike was ultimately brought upon himself by his own doing.

And the second matter, was even more surprising to Su Chengyu, who then directly posed his question to Qiu Tianlin.

"Teacher, have you ever heard of the Fusion of Divine Pathways?"

After pondering for a moment, Qiu Tianlin replied, "An ancient secret technique, a method to transfer bloodline inheritance to another person. However, the toll is indeed immense, with very little benefit, requiring the one who makes the sacrifice to lose their life outright. For instance, to create an Innate Spirit Body, at the very least ten people with Naturally Divine Bones are needed to make an ordinary person into an Innate Spirit Body. Of course, if there were twenty or a hundred, the resulting Innate Spirit Body born from this would be much stronger than the initially basic one. This is the only value of this secret technique."

"Can Naturally Divine Bones also be passed on?"

Qiu Tianlin was also taken aback upon hearing this, then said, "I see, so this is the Su Clan’s method for prolonging life? In theory, it is feasible. However, this secret technique must have undergone certain modifications, and the fact that the Su Clan has perfected this point over so many prosperous years is not surprising."

It’s an undeniable fact that amongst the Ancient Clans, the continuation of bloodline relies on the operation involving Naturally Divine Bones, and the Luo Clan would have those with Naturally Divine Bones live out in the secular world, only to bring them back to the clan after experiencing the vicissitudes of life.

Because they would end up in the secular world, with time, it also became known to those with ulterior motives.

However, very few are aware of the methods employed by other Ancient Clans. It is clear that Qiu Tianlin has only just learned how exactly the Su Clan operates.

After hearing Qiu Tianlin’s answer, Su Chengyu’s heart stalled, thinking: "Even an Innate Spirit Body requires ten living lives, the inheritance of Naturally Divine Bones must demand even more, right?"

"Perhaps the Su Clan has perfected and refined the secret technique?"

"Teacher, do you think that’s possible?"

Su Chengyu said with self-deprecating laughter, clearly also thinking about the fact that he himself hails from the Su Clan.

"Indeed, a group of people who do not hesitate to use countless lives to extend their own clan members’ talents, how could they care about how many people they must sacrifice."

"The Luo Clan tramples on the emotions of others, treating love, hatred, and the sorrows of parting as if they were but games. The Su Clan regards human lives as mere weeds, arbitrarily depriving others of the right to live. The life-prolonging methods of the Ancient Clans really are one more shameless than the next."

Qiu Tianlin, sensing the hatred in Su Chengyu’s words, did not continue to comment on this matter but instead asked, "Is Su Zi the chosen person for the Fusion of Divine Pathways within the Su Clan?"

Lowering his head to glance at the document in his hands, Su Chengyu said, "She did not say, but it is likely her. This would also explain why the Su Clan so easily treated her as a discardable piece, given that she would still be a Hollow Vacuum despite any fall from grace."

A person who was destined to be sacrificed by the clan, how could the Su Clan possibly invest too many resources in her?

Not being able to become an Earth Immortal, whether Su Zi was in the early stages of Hollow Vacuum or the initial phase, it made absolutely no difference.

"There’s a reason why a person to be pitied is also detestable. Having learned about this, she will probably completely sever ties with the Su Clan in the future."

Su Chengyu chuckled lightly, "That may not necessarily be the case, but let’s talk about this matter when the time comes."

Amidst Qiu Tianlin’s puzzlement, Su Chengyu had already risen to his feet, looking outside.

Just then, Qiu Tianlin understood, "The guest has arrived."

Su Chengyu took a deep breath, with the Dragon Slayer Sword appearing by his side, emitting a faint sword hum, and he corrected himself.

"A group of guests has arrived."
