Chapter 1598: Chapter 1599: Elder Council

"This fellow huh..."

Su Chengyu was momentarily surprised, but soon felt it was entirely expected.

People from the Ancient Clan hold themselves in high esteem and naturally tend to overlook the majority of others.

In the whole Xia Country, or even the entire world, there are only a handful of people who can catch their attention.

Ye Qingci, who ascended to immortality in one step, certainly counts as one, but the person who can truly be known by almost all members of the Ancient Clans is still Long Xuan, without doubt.

Even though in Su Chengyu’s heart, Ye Qingci is certainly no less significant than Long Xuan, he cannot deny that in terms of fame and recognition, Long Xuan far surpasses the former.

Luo Ling’er, noticing the subdued reaction of Su Chengyu, frowned curiously and asked, "Why don’t you seem very surprised?"

"Ah, no, I just think... if it were him, this sword strike would indeed be somewhat expected."

Su Chengyu quickly explained himself upon noticing the other party’s confusion.

Hearing what Su Chengyu had said, Luo Ling’er’s eyes instantly sparkled as she exclaimed: "Really? That sword strike must have been truly astonishing, right?"

After a moment of contemplation, Su Chengyu replied, "It might not be the strike of an Earth Immortal, but it indeed bore the majesty of one."

This statement wasn’t self-praise from Su Chengyu, but rather the evaluation of the Heaven-Mending Stone on his sword strike.

Both the highly accomplished Immortal Decapitating and the now superior Zhenjiang, which ranks just next to Immortal Decapitating in his sword techniques arsenal, can be considered true Immortal Law Sword Techniques.

Integrating the forceful methods of the Dao, any cultivator in the Hollow Void Realm facing it must pay a painful price; only the gap in Su Chengyu’s own realm prevented him from fully exhibiting the power of his sword.

"My father shared a similar opinion, hence he suspected that the sword was struck by Long Xuan. However, the Elder Council seems to have different views, about which I am not aware."

Upon hearing this remark, Su Chengyu blinked and asked, "May I know, Miss Ling’er, who your father is...?"

"Luo Chang’an, the fourteenth in the Elder Council, seated at the last place!"

The governance system within the Nine Ancient Tribes is one of an elder system, where the chief takes charge of the tribe, while the Elder Council is responsible for supervision and proposals, each according to their duties.

Among them, the first two permanent members of the Elder Council are known as Enforcement Elders, who can veto the chief’s decisions with a single vote, while the remaining seats are entitled to propose and discuss the decisions made by the chief along with the rest of the Elder Council.

Above the Elder Council, there is the mysterious position of the Supreme Elder, a role that can only be taken by those in the Earth Immortal Realm, and exactly how many Supreme Elders are hidden behind the scenes in each of the Ancient Tribes is known only to the core members within the tribes themselves.

With the strength of nearly reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, daring to venture outside during such a crucial time for the Luo Clan to treasure hunt-like scouting, Su Chengyu guessed that the three of them must come from remarkable backgrounds, yet he hadn’t expected their parents to directly be Elders.

His gaze instinctively fell on the two young men in front, his curiosity prompting him to ask, "Are their fathers also..."

"Yes! Achu’s father is the thirteenth elder, an old acquaintance of my family, while Nanping’s father has been promoted into the Elder Council just last year, Elder Zong Yuan."

"Luo Zong Yuan!?"

The sudden three words made Su Chengyu exclaim in shock, as he looked towards Luo Nanping who was leading the way at the front, his heartbeat uncontrollably accelerating.

Luo Ling’er frowned at the odd reaction, blinking in confusion and asked, "Yes, Elder Zong Yuan, what about it?"

"No, nothing. I just heard that Elder Zongyuan was mentioned because his family has relations with the Saintess..."

"Hey, you are quite well-informed. However, this matter is no longer a secret in our circle. The Saintess that was brought back is indeed from the Elder Zongyuan’s family, but after all, she is the entire clan’s Saintess. Her name has already been given a separate page on the clan’s genealogy, removing her from the Elder Zongyuan’s faction."

"Oh, is that so..."

Before heading to Luoshui, Su Chengyu indeed wanted to inquire about the Luo Clan from the Qian family.

However, Qian Jinming, when hearing that Su Chengyu wanted to head to the Luo Clan, behaved very indifferently, showing no interest even when Su Chengyu proposed a trade.

In the face of Su Chengyu’s persistence, it ended only by sharing some internal information about the Luo Clan with Su Chengyu before sending him away, not wanting to discuss more with Su Chengyu. The name Luo Zongyuan also came to Su Chengyu through the Qian family.

Su Chengyu never expected that, by taking such a risk, he would directly stumble upon such a good opportunity and even went straight into Luo Zongyuan’s home.

Because the one who invited him was none other than Luo Zongyuan’s son, Luo Nanping.

This name, it’s obviously Xu Nanzhi’s brother.

"It feels a bit like when one person attains Dao, the whole family ascends with him, but he and his father are still quite capable of managing their affairs, so we accepted him. However, I personally don’t like this guy; he has no talent at all. If not for his good luck, he wouldn’t have had the chance to came into contact with our circle."

Luo Ling’er spoke with disdain for Luo Nanping and then, recalling something, glanced at Su Chengyu as a warning.

"You better not repeat these words to her, or I’ll never let you off the hook!"

Su Chengyu chuckled and said, "Miss Ling’er, don’t worry, I’m not a blabbermouth."

Luo Ling’er’s smile lifted, showing a confident demeanor, "I knew you weren’t!"

Despite Luo Ling’er’s friendly advance, there was no turmoil in Su Chengyu’s heart.

He had seen too many people like Luo Ling’er, who, for their own benefits and public image, wouldn’t hesitate to trample others to gain favor.

These tactics had been too common for Su Chengyu when he was just rising to power in Jiangdong. Although these ancient clan members learned all these worldly maneuvers, in Su Chengyu’s eyes, Luo Ling’er was still too young.

These tricks might be useful towards the sheltered and inexperienced descendants of the ancient clans within the Luo Clan, but they meant absolutely nothing in front of Su Chengyu.

Moreover, after understanding the situation in Luoshui Village, he currently harbored no favorable impression towards any members of the ancient clans.

This is a clan where self-interest reigned supreme.

"We’ve arrived!"

From afar, Luo Nanping’s voice faded as they stopped before a waterfall. Following Luo Nanping casting a spell to dissolve a prohibition in front of the waterfall, the three directly leaped into the waterfall, and a carefully arranged cave appeared before them.

The facilities inside the cave were not abundant, but it had everything related to cultivation. Most importantly, the Spiritual Energy here was indeed several times more concentrated than the outside world.

One should know that this is still within the Luo Clan’s Blessed Realm; if it were outside, it would certainly compel some small sects to fight tooth and nail over this small area.

And this, is merely a cultivation place that an elder from within the ancient clan could provide to others at any time.

For the first time, Su Chengyu realized just how profound the foundation of the ancient clan truly was.
