Chapter 1679: Chapter 1680: Settle

Su Chengyu knew in his heart that Luo Zongyuan was the root of everything.

As Nan Zhi’s father, he personally sent Nan Zhi to the Luo Clan and, after experiencing the mortal world, ultimately chose to make her a sacrificial pawn.

Su Chengyu believed that no matter how much turmoil occurred within the Luo Clan, this man would never take responsibility for external security.

He would only stay close to Nan Zhi, guarding the seed that determined his future destiny.

As long as he could successfully lure him out, knowing Nan Zhi’s situation would cease to be an issue.

"Make him come, and only him alone."

Su Chengyu spoke threateningly to Luo Nanping.

Luo Nanping’s expression turned grim. He was naturally capable of signaling his father for help.

As Luo Zongyuan’s only child, not to mention the means of calling for help, Luo Nanping even carried a one-time secret magical treasure capable of annihilating Nascent Soul Cultivators.

But Luo Nanping understood that such an item would be utterly useless against someone who had invaded the Luo Clan directly.

This man was audacious enough to confront the entire Luo Clan with a single sword.

Thinking of Su Chengyu’s actions, Luo Nanping felt a surge of fear deep within and cautiously glanced at Su Chengyu before speaking tentatively.

"What if my father doesn’t come alone?"

"I will leave, but don’t think you’ll escape either."

As his words fell, Su Chengyu flicked his hand casually, and a smoldering flame instantly shot into the space between Luo Nanping’s eyebrows.

Luo Nanping staggered a few steps back, touched his forehead, but didn’t notice anything amiss.

"Don’t bother touching it; this flame is Divine Phoenix Fire. Forget you—even if your father were here, I’d have every confidence in incinerating your divine sense entirely before he gets rid of the flame."

"Su Chengyu! You swore not to kill me!"

Su Chengyu looked calmly at the slightly frantic Luo Nanping and said softly, "I did say I wouldn’t take your life, but I never promised to let you off easily. This is a minor punishment. Simply put, your life is still in your hands. Besides..."

"Besides what?"

Realizing his dire predicament, Luo Nanping grew visibly anxious.

"Your father is very likely to come alone. Go ahead and summon him."

Su Chengyu’s judgment left Luo Nanping somewhat baffled. Still unaware of the current turmoil within the Luo Clan, he clearly couldn’t grasp the full picture.

Even if he knew, he wouldn’t understand why his father would come alone. After all, Su Chengyu had long risen to infamy among the Luo Clan at a level comparable to those ancient Hollow Vacuum entities.

Despite his confusion, Luo Nanping, knowing he had no choice, could only use the faint mana he’d restored to send out a special distress signal.

Standing aside, Su Chengyu coldly observed everything, making no move, merely allowing the unbound divine sense to drift into the sky and scatter in all directions.

"Master, Heaven-Mending Senior says this is a summoning technique infused with a unique signal frequency. Only those who have previously registered this frequency can detect its faint divine sense."

The speaker was the Soul of Dragon Slayer Sword, whose speech was still relatively unpolished.

Su Chengyu had encountered countless Artifact Spirits with consciousness, yet those who dared to speak to him actively were few.

The Soul of Dragon Slayer Sword was certainly one of them. However, her personality starkly contrasted with the Heaven-Mending Stone’s—introverted and unwilling to speak unless absolutely necessary. Evidently, now was one such moment.

"Mm."

Su Chengyu let out a soft murmur, dispelling lingering doubts, but said no more.

Su Chengyu remained annoyed at the Heaven-Mending Stone’s independent actions.

He understood the Heaven-Mending Stone likely acted to pave the way for him.

But even so, Su Chengyu couldn’t accept it risking Yan’er, which prompted his earlier remarks.

This was the Heaven-Mending Stone’s first time disregarding his wishes to make an entirely autonomous decision—and one involving a matter of great importance.

If it happened once, it could happen again.

Recognizing this, Su Chengyu naturally sought to nip it in the bud.

What that entailed, however, remained undecided for now, hence his previous words.

Of course, setting things straight was also Su Chengyu’s genuine intention. If anything truly happened to Yan’er, he’d likely harbor resentment toward the Heaven-Mending Stone for the rest of his life.

The Heaven-Mending Stone seemed to understand this, opting not to provoke Su Chengyu further, instead letting the Dragon Slayer Sword relay messages on its behalf.

Within this Luo Clan Blessed Realm, their relationship maintained a delicate balance—neither exposing the thorns embedded in their hearts.

"He’s here."

Su Chengyu muttered suddenly, seemingly unprompted, startling Luo Nanping, who froze for a moment. Before he could react, Su Chengyu swung the Dragon Slayer Sword.

A harmless burst of sword qi knocked Luo Nanping hundreds of meters backward, while Su Chengyu positioned himself to face the rushing aura head-on.

"Su Chengyu! You’re still here, I see!"

From afar, high in the sky, Luo Zongyuan had evidently sensed the commotion below, locking onto Su Chengyu’s location and shouting furiously.

Accompanying his voice came a massive long knife, hurtling forward.

The initially modest-length knife expanded to a hundred meters mid-flight, arriving with terrifying force. The strike alone could obliterate not merely its target but even entire Hollow Vacuum entities.

"Retreat!"

With his sword tip against the knife’s edge, Su Chengyu’s reserved energy now erupted completely.

Amid dragon roars and phoenix cries, the Dragon Slayer Sword unleashed momentum that surpassed the overwhelming knife strike, forcefully deflecting it until it returned to Luo Zongyuan’s side.

Standing unshaken, Su Chengyu raised his head to confront the now-close Luo Zongyuan and remarked, "Let’s dispense with probing—how could I dare summon you if I weren’t at my peak strength?"

Approaching to stand before Su Chengyu, Luo Zongyuan furrowed his brows and said softly, "You’ve indeed taken me by surprise. Who would’ve thought Elder Luo Qing himself could slip up like this? When I learned you’d been exiled from the Luo Clan, I admit I felt some disappointment."

Su Chengyu sneered, "Disappointment? Because the Luo Clan couldn’t exploit my downfall when it mattered most?"

"Impudent!"

Boom!

Su Chengyu raised his right arm to deflect the qi force Luo Zongyuan had casually unleashed, then cast a cold glance toward Luo Nanping, narrowing his eyes.

"You struck hard—aren’t you afraid of ruining Nan Zhi and your blood covenant?"

"Would you perish that easily?"

"Would you let me perish that easily?"

The sharp questions shut down any pretense, as Luo Zongyuan fully unleashed the aura of a Martial God—long knife in hand, divine sense locking firmly onto Su Chengyu.

"Today, I intend to sever the sinful bond between you and Nan Zhi once and for all on her behalf."

"You’re worthy?"
