Chapter 1619: Chapter 1620: Forever Buried Underground

Bang!

With a resounding thud, a figure was swept away and sent flying across the Elder Council hall.

Luo Zongyuan, the Luo Clan’s recently appointed elder—thanks to Xu Nanzhi—lay sprawled on the ground. He struggled to rise, his appearance utterly disheveled, yet his face betrayed no resentment. He merely knelt there, not daring to utter a single word in protest.

"Luo Zongyuan, do you realize what you’ve done?"

"I understand. However, I still believe that person is no cause for concern."

"No cause for concern? Do you even comprehend how many distinguished clans have suffered grievous losses because of that man? Even now, there are those among the Ancient Clans who dread him immensely—especially..."

Mid-sentence, the Elder from the Luo Clan, draped in black robes, faltered. After hesitating briefly, he tossed a Yu Jian onto the ground before Luo Zongyuan.

"See for yourself."

Luo Zongyuan stepped forward and picked up the Yu Jian. As his Divine Sense entered it, his expression changed immediately.

"Impossible! Aren’t they blowing things entirely out of proportion? It’s merely..."

"Nothing is impossible. The Su Clan would never act frivolously, especially when this matter strikes at the heart of their greatest pain."

"But..."

"Naturally, the Su Clan likely doesn’t have definitive proof; otherwise, they’d have acted against him long ago. But you must understand—if this man were to die at our hands, even on suspicion alone, what an immense favor this would be to the Su Clan?"

Luo Zongyuan bit his lower lip and, after a moment of silence, replied, "Law Enforcement Elder, the mistake I made—I’ll rectify it myself."

The black-clad Elder’s gaze swept over Luo Zongyuan. "Lady Saintess is still your flesh and blood. The Luo Clan won’t forget your merit. If you also manage to take care of that man, I guarantee this position of mine will be yours within a century."

Luo Zongyuan froze in shock before looking up incredulously. "Then Elder, you..."

"What do you think?"

With that indifferent retort, Luo Zongyuan was instantly enveloped by the faint yet overwhelming pressure of a cross-realm force. This was no ordinary Hollow Vacuum Realm suppression—even someone at its peak could never produce such pressure. It could only originate from an existence that had touched the highest realm of the Mortal World.

"Our Luo Clan has gone far too long without the birth of a new Earth Immortal. After this lineage’s continuation, regardless of success or failure, my position will inevitably be vacated."

In the Elder Councils of the Nine Ancient Tribes, there were no Earth Immortal Realm individuals. Any Earth Immortal remained hidden behind the scenes within their clan, never intervening unless absolutely necessary.

No one knew for certain how many Earth Immortals resided within each Ancient Clan. This practice served both as external deterrence and as a mechanism of internal defense among the clans themselves. Such secrecy prevented stronger clans from preying openly upon the weaker ones.

Yet, over the years, the world had come to recognize that both the Luo Clan and Su Clan unequivocally ranked among the top three practitioners of Dao techniques within the Nine Ancient Tribes.

Luo Zongyuan silently clenched his fists, regretting his decision to let Su Chengyu go all those years ago.

Indeed, for the Luo Clan of today, Su Chengyu appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary external infiltrator. Amidst the Luo Clan’s current state of turmoil, he was undoubtedly one of the least conspicuous threats.

But the information conveyed by the Su Clan was utterly startling. The man connected to this intelligence had, in the past, done far more than shock the Su Clan—he’d left each of the Nine Ancient Tribes stunned by his actions.

"Regret it now?"

"I was shortsighted, Elder."

The Law Enforcement Elder let out a cold snort as a Flying Sword whizzed through the window. Catching the sword, he glanced over its contents while continuing to speak.

"Were it not for Su Chengyu, your decision wouldn’t have been much of an issue. You judged correctly—our Elder Council’s reinforcements failed to arrive in time because they were ambushed earlier. And those who attacked were certainly no ordinary infiltrators."

"Other Ancient Clans? Has their identity been confirmed?"

"The assailants were extraordinarily cautious. The three Martial Gods involved employed common techniques found externally, making it impossible to determine their origins. However, one thing is certain: there are currently at least three groups infiltrating the Luo Clan."

Luo Zongyuan furrowed his brows upon hearing this. "Another group...? Who else would dare to infiltrate the Luo Clan at such a time?"

"It’s not something you need to concern yourself with."

The Law Enforcement Elder crushed the Flying Sword in his hand and spoke softly, "We’ve pinpointed Su Chengyu’s whereabouts."

"Hm? Has he begun to act already?"

"Indeed. To my surprise, his movements are remarkably swift, and with the assistance of an insider, he already has a target for his next battle."

"An insider?"

"Your son, Luo Nanping."

"What?! How could that be?"

Luo Zongyuan exclaimed in shock, unwilling to believe a single word of this revelation.

"This is your family matter—I have no intention of interfering. But Su Chengyu must die before Lady Saintess achieves her breakthrough."

"Where is he now?"

"Someone spotted the two of them on the road to Qingqiu Mausoleum."

Without saying another word, Luo Zongyuan rose and left the hall. He understood that for him to redeem his errors, he had only one choice: Su Chengyu must die by his own hand.

The Law Enforcement Elder watched all this unfold impassively, not speaking further. Only when Luo Zongyuan’s figure had completely vanished did an elderly, hunched-over man slowly step forward from behind him.

"Zongyuan has great potential. It’s a pity the current era doesn’t favor his rise. Otherwise, with his temperament, he might’ve truly had a chance to reach the Earth Immortal Realm."

"Greetings, Old Patriarch."

The Law Enforcement Elder bent forward in salutation towards the hunched elder. Only after concluding his respectful bow did he speak calmly.

"But with the Luo Clan besieged on all sides these days, there’s no surplus effort left to focus on him."

"I understand. I, too, am but a man on his last legs. Were it not for the weight of the entire Luo Clan pressing upon me, I would’ve long since perished and disappeared, unknown even to samsara."

"Old Patriarch..."

The Law Enforcement Elder hesitated to speak further, but the elder waved him off.

"Even Martial Gods are fated to die. Immortals or deities—none escape the inevitability of limited lifespans. I have safeguarded the Luo Clan for thousands of years, witnessed its peak of glory. Now, like me, the Luo Clan teeters on the brink of extinction. If my death could breathe new life into the Luo Clan, it would be my greatest fortune."

"Your magnanimity, Patriarch!"

The Law Enforcement Elder knelt, his heart filled with boundless reverence.

The old man waved his hand dismissively and gazed into the distance. "I have already reached out to my old friend in the Su Clan. He has pledged to send aid for the Luo Clan. Dispatch someone to receive them—and once they arrive, direct them to Qingqiu Mausoleum."

The Law Enforcement Elder asked with a hint of doubt, "And what of us? Shouldn’t our own people retrieve what lies within Qingqiu Mausoleum?"

The hunched elder sneered, "How many years have we occupied Qingqiu Mausoleum? If, after all these years, we’ve failed to make its contents ours, why should we cling to it? If they desire what’s within, then let the remnants of the Qingqiu Fox Clan be buried alongside them—forever beneath the earth."
