Chapter 1604: Chapter 1605: Asking the Guest into the Urn

The function of the token is similar to the shell used for sneaking into Luo Shen Temple; it seems that both are crafted by the Luo Clan using the same secret technique.

However, the shell that grants entry to Luo Shen Temple is imbued with the Breath of Martial God, whereas these tokens contain only the most common Divine Sense of various families.

Nevertheless, the effect is similarly used for identity recognition. Upon infiltrating the Luo Clan, Su Chengyu immediately withdrew the aura of the Heaven-Mending Stone from Luo Nanping.

Although his true nature would not be detected by Earth Immortals, a thorough examination would eventually reveal the foreign element within him. Su Chengyu didn’t want to invite unnecessary trouble over this matter.

Upon noticing Su Chengyu’s actions, the Heaven-Mending Stone casually remarked, "Why not kill him?"

Compared to withdrawing the divine light, directly killing Luo Nanping would leave no trace. However, Su Chengyu simply put him aside without any intention of delivering a fatal blow, which the Heaven-Mending Stone found puzzling.

"No need. Such a person has no significant role in the grand scheme of things. If it were Luo Ling’er, I might consider it."

Unfortunately, Luo Ling’er still had some value to be utilized, and even if there was a chance, it was highly unlikely he would choose to harm her.

"Not just that, isn’t it also because of that woman?"

"Half and half. Although Luo Nanping possesses all those detestable traits of the Ancient Clan, he is not the instigator when it comes to Nan Zhi’s affairs. There isn’t much reason to kill him, rather, there are reasons not to, so let it be."

"A woman’s mercy."

Su Chengyu, too lazy to reply, never considered himself a saint, but he operates within his own moral boundaries.

He wouldn’t hesitate to kill those who deserve it, but he also wouldn’t ruthlessly slaughter the innocent.

Especially after the incident in Luoshui Village, Su Chengyu felt this even more strongly.

If he began deciding others’ fates merely because his current strength was unlike before, then what difference would there be between him and the Luo Clan, who had controlled Luoshui Village for centuries?

Su Chengyu sneaked into the mansion from the back courtyard, during the night. While not many were deep in Cultivation, most were still meditating quietly.

Cultivators can better restore their Sea of Consciousness at night, and Martial Artists need this time to settle their bodies and reflect on the day’s gains.

The necessity of the former is self-evident, while the latter is similar to the operation of the golden figure in Su Chengyu’s Sea of Consciousness. Without the unique experiences of Su Chengyu, ordinary Martial Artists need to exert more effort in this aspect.

Thus, even though Cultivators and Martial Artists have reached the stages of Fasting or even Sleeplessness, most still choose to rest quietly at night.

As Su Chengyu made his way, avoiding the watchful eyes of the estate, he reached where the residences were located.

This place was locked onto by the Divine Sense of the Heaven-Mending Stone even before Su Chengyu ambushed Luo Nanping, to facilitate his next move.

Though the layouts of each household widely vary, there are still certain patterns to follow. Once he found a starting point, Su Chengyu could better navigate other areas.

"There."

After scoping the area, Su Chengyu quickly focused his gaze on an inner attic that showed no signs of presence.

With several silent leaps, using not Mana but purely physical strength, Su Chengyu jumped onto the second floor of that attic.

Gently pushing open the large door of the attic, a somewhat familiar fragrance wafted to Su Chengyu’s nose.

The familiar scent convinced Su Chengyu that Xu Nanzhi must have stayed here for a period.

"Didn’t that guy say she was imprisoned? And yet, she had such surroundings?"

With Su Chengyu’s perspective, the Heaven-Mending Stone scrutinized the environment within the attic, voicing its doubt.

While the attic wasn’t too exquisite, it had all the necessities, and nothing seemed amiss inside and outside to suggest it was a place of confinement.

"Back then, the Luo Clan likely still wanted to negotiate properly with Nan Zhi. After all, forcibly separating memories, no matter how skillful, inevitably carries certain risks. As for imprisonment ..."

Su Chengyu glanced around and also couldn’t understand why Luo Nanping described it once as imprisonment.

Could it be that guy deceived me?

After a fleeting thought, the frightened and pleading figure of Luo Nanping reappeared in Su Chengyu’s mind.

Su Chengyu shook his head, feeling it unlikely. The conflicting conclusions left Su Chengyu unable to find an answer, so he had to let it go for now.

"Let’s focus on the main task first."

As Su Chengyu spoke, the Heaven-Mending Stone also flew out of Su Chengyu’s hand, cautiously searching around the room.

This place, being where Xu Nanzhi was before she lost her memories, might hold some clues, which was one of the reasons Su Chengyu came here.

Unfortunately, after a thorough search, neither Su Chengyu nor the Heaven-Mending Stone discovered anything unusual.

"At that time, Xu Nanzhi had just started her cultivation journey. Even if she wanted to leave any traces, I guess they were already wiped clean by someone else."

Su Chengyu gently hummed in acknowledgment, choosing to say no more.

This point made by the Heaven-Mending Stone, of course, he knew. However, Su Chengyu didn’t want to miss any clues, and that’s why he decided to try his luck here.

Since there was no gain from this place, it was time to go directly to Luo Zongyuan.

With this decision made, Su Chengyu had just started walking toward the attic nearby. However, just as he was about to open the door, an immense surge of Spiritual Power rose from below, instantly engulfing the whole attic.

Realizing something was wrong, Su Chengyu forcefully pushed open the grand doors of the attic, only to be greeted by countless flying Silver Needles speeding directly towards him.

Though the Silver Needles were not a major threat, they completely blocked Su Chengyu’s way out. If he tried to forcefully break through at this moment, he would surely be wounded by the needles, and outside...

"There is a Martial Emperor!"

The reminder from the Heaven-Mending Stone allowed Su Chengyu to make a split-second decision, flipping to the side to avoid the oncoming myriad of needles.

Currently injured, it would be unwise for Su Chengyu to directly confront a Martial Emperor.

As Su Chengyu retreated, the rising momentum had already completely enveloped the attic, effectively trapping Su Chengyu inside.

"In my Luo Zongyuan’s house, do you think you can come and go as you please?"

Listening to the introductions of the other party, Su Chengyu sneered, "I was just about to look for you, but you delivered yourself to my doorstep? That saves me the trouble of groping blind in your house!"

As his words fell, the Dragon Slayer Sword appeared by Su Chengyu’s side, and he made a slash over the formation in the attic.

However, this strike at the Pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm had no impact on the formation of the attic.

Seeing this, Su Chengyu’s brows furrowed together instantly, not expecting the formation to be so robust that he couldn’t break through it unless he exerted his full strength.

Even if he did break through forcefully, outside awaited Luo Zongyuan of the Martial Emperor level.

"Give up. Without the power of an Earth Immortal, it’s impossible for you to walk out of this building in a short time."

Luo Zongyuan scoffed from outside. He had noticed this intruder from the Luo Clan early on but had not acted, waiting for this moment. If he could just stall a bit longer until the Elder Council arrived, he could capture this intruder without any effort.

"I can help you forcibly open a gap, but only for a moment, you..."

"No need."

Su Chengyu cut off the advising Heaven-Mending Stone and slowly raised his head to look outside the attic.

"No need? Do you want to wait for death? Even the Heavenly Emperor himself couldn’t save you once all the elders from the Luo Clan arrive."

Su Chengyu smiled slightly: "Don’t panic, I can’t get out, but it’s fine as long as I can get him to come in."
