Chapter 1608: Chapter 1609: An Irrefutable Open Plot

"You..."

Luo Zongyuan’s face looked extremely ugly, not so much because of his current predicament, but more because of the shock he felt towards the attitude that Su Chengyu was revealing at this moment.

Lacking in foresight?

Clearly not, the man before him evidently knew all the pros and cons, yet he still wanted to stake his life against mine.

He was gambling his obsession with Xu Nanzhi and his future in the latter half of his life on a life that, to him, was essentially insignificant.

"Was probing my attitude earlier all for this moment?"

"Nan Zhi was taken away by the Luo Clan, and to this point, you undoubtedly deserve to die a thousand times, but after all, you are Nan Zhi’s father. As long as you still have a shred of humanity, at the very least, I will leave your life up to Nan Zhi to decide. But it turns out, you don’t have it."

Luo Zongyuan sneered, "Madman, a complete madman. Merely a Nascent Soul, do you really think you can rescue Nan Zhi?"

"Yes, I am just a Nascent Soul. But your life is still in my hands right now."

Su Chengyu spoke coldly, once again raising the Dragon Slayer Sword; the moonlight shining on the sword, a fleeting chill flashed by.

Luo Zongyuan’s brows were tightly furrowed, wanting to say something, but Su Chengyu interjected, "I know you’re thinking of stalling for time. I will count to ten, and if you still refuse to disclose Nan Zhi’s whereabouts, you die, I die."

Luo Zongyuan looked up and saw the resolute gaze in Su Chengyu’s eyes, offering no chance for denial, Su Chengyu had already begun to count.

"One, two..."

From one to ten, Su Chengyu’s counting was neither fast nor slow.

It was unclear whether it was because of a subconscious urgency, or a deliberate resignation; as he neared the end, Su Chengyu still began to count faster.

Numerous thoughts flashed through Luo Zongyuan’s mind, he naturally was not without options. A fight to the death, as long as he could delay long enough, he might be able to hold out until the Elder Council arrived.

But by that time, would he still be alive?

Even if he was, whether his very foundation of the Dao would be affected was uncertain.

The madman before him was cunning; not to mention his two great Treasure Techniques, those few swordsmanship moves were clearly not at their peak.

Is it truly meaningful to keep fighting to the death with such a madman?

Besides, even if I were to tell him where Nan Zhi is...

"Ten."

At the moment the countdown ended, Luo Zongyuan had already reached a decision in his mind. He raised his head and slowly said to Su Chengyu.

"Immortal Pool, Zixuan Hall, Zixuan Pavilion."

"Where exactly?"

"Northwest of the Yue Pool, within the Mountains of the main complex."

Su Chengyu’s lips curved slightly, "No more tricks this time?"

Luo Zongyuan, having weighed the pros and cons, looked at Su Chengyu and spoke softly, "The moment you step into the Immortal Pool is the moment you meet your demise."

"Hmph, thanks for the warning."

With those words from Luo Zongyuan, the credibility of the information he provided about Xu Nanzhi’s whereabouts increased significantly.

With a raise of his hand, the Heaven-Mending Stone turned into a stream of rosy light, returning to Su Chengyu’s side from beneath the ground.

Of course, this disturbance did not escape Luo Zongyuan’s eyes, but he narrowed them without saying more.

Leaping to the second floor of the pavilion, Su Chengyu looked back one last time and spoke softly.

"I am very much looking forward to our next encounter, Elder Zongyuan."

As his voice faded, his figure likewise disappeared into the night.

And a moment after Su Chengyu’s figure vanished, a group of people from the Luo Clan immediately rushed into the pavilion.

"Elder, are you alright?"

"Would I be harmed?"

Luo Zongyuan retorted angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with the servant’s words.

The complexion of Luo Zongyuan’s personal guards turned rather ugly, but they still had to pluck up the courage to speak, "Then, Elder, why did you inform that guy about the Saintess’s whereabouts?"

With the seal of the loft broken, everything that had occurred inside was naturally witnessed by outsiders, which was the reason for their doubts.

In their view, even if Su Chengyu was incredibly skilled, with such a group supporting Luo Zongyuan, and despite the Elder’s severe injuries, it should have been entirely sufficient to stall until the Elder Council’s arrival.

Luo Zongyuan’s act of leaking information was clearly overstepping the bounds.

As Luo Zongyuan, who heard this question, had a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, he was contemplating whether he should kill everyone present and then shift the blame onto Su Chengyu.

From afar, a figure hurried over and knelt before Luo Zongyuan, saying, "Elder, we have found the unconscious young master Nanping not far from the courtyard."

This sudden piece of good news somewhat dissolved the anger in Luo Zongyuan’s heart; although Luo Nanping did not hold a high place in his heart, after all, he was Luo Zongyuan’s only son, making it the only piece of good news he had heard tonight.

"Don’t worry, he won’t escape. I will personally kill him and explain myself to the Elder Council."

"Yes."

After finishing his words, Luo Zongyuan turned to look in the direction of the Elder Council and frowned slightly. Su Chengyu had indeed acted quickly and forced Luo Zongyuan’s hand, but it was unreasonable that not a single person from the Elder Council had arrived after such a long time.

"You keep an eye on the young master; I am going to the Elder Council."

Having said this, Luo Zongyuan stepped into the air, heading swiftly to where the Elder Council was located.

Meanwhile, as Su Chengyu was rapidly flying on his sword, the breath within his body was tumultuously churning.

Even with the aid of the Heaven-Mending Stone, the injured Su Chengyu still had significant fluctuations in his Inner Breath, far from the calm and composed appearance he maintained in front of Luo Zongyuan.

He hastily swallowed a Gui Yuan Dan, then allowed the Dragon Slayer Sword to fly on its own, while he himself sat down cross-legged to regulate the restless Inner Breath within his body.

"Master, head for the waterfall?"

The Soul of Dragon Slayer Sword, who rarely spoke, felt compelled to ask Su Chengyu for his decision at this moment.

"Let’s return to the waterfall. The identity of Luo Qichao still serves a purpose."

The Soul of Dragon Slayer Sword didn’t voice a response, but the faint trembling of the sword’s body revealed its unease, clearly worried about Su Chengyu’s decision.

Seeing this, Su Chengyu smiled lightly and said, "Don’t worry. I’m aware of the consequences. Forcing the issue is one thing; every step I take is to make subsequent actions more convenient."

"Yes, Master."

"You’re just too kind-hearted. This guy’s actions are clearly erratic."

The Heaven-Mending Stone looked on at the conversation between master and servant, expressing dissatisfaction and clearly still having objections to Su Chengyu’s actions.

Su Chengyu chuckled and asked, "So, did you find out anything?"

"Find out? What did you find out? What makes you think that guy was definitely telling the truth? What if he was deceiving you?"

Su Chengyu shook his head and said softly, "That just shows that you have yet to fully understand Luo Zongyuan."

"What do you mean?"

The Heaven-Mending Stone asked in confusion.

"Luo Zongyuan is someone who regards his own interests as paramount. He speaks of acting for the sake of the Luo Clan, but his attitude towards his own son reveals it all. His family values are definitely not as strong as he claims."

"So what?"

"So, compared to whether Nan Zhi can continue the Martial God Bloodline for the Luo Clan, what Luo Zongyuan can’t accept even more is the idea of me leaving Luo Clan’s Blessed Realm alive. Therefore, he will only tell me the truth to ensure that I will reappear before him, to make sure that I die within the Luo Clan."

"This is an open scheme?"

"Yes, an open scheme that I deliberately presented to him. I expected that he couldn’t refuse this strategy, so the information he gave about my whereabouts must be true."
