Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Zhuo Family’s Calculation_1

"How could we possibly be at a disadvantage, compared to Jin family’s strength? Elder brother, I believe we shouldn’t solely consider seizing the martial arts secret manual, we should think further ahead."

Zhuo Kun’s gaze was filled with cunning.

"Let’s hear your thoughts."

Zhuo Kun stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Su Cheng is a cultivator. If we can secure him and exploit his abilities, having him produce elixirs for us, within a few years our Zhuo family will rise even higher, becoming a true noble family."

Within Danyang province, or even the entire eastern six provinces, the Zhuo family was considered first-class, but not yet noble. Viewed from the whole of Xia Country, the Zhuo family just didn’t have that level of influence.

However, if the Zhuo family managed to subjugate a cultivator, harnessing his ability to produce a steady stream of spirit pills, the Zhuo family would surely rise exponentially.

This was especially relevant to the family patriarch, who, despite being a Martial King Realm practitioner, was advancing in years and had been plateauing in cultivation for several years.

In the path of cultivation, if one stagnates they regress. The Zhuo family patriarch no longer had hopes of advancing to the Martial Saint Realm, unless assisted by the miraculous spirit pills.

Zhuo Qian’s eyes brightened, after a moment’s thought, he said, "If we truly can harness him for our family, it could indeed be an opportunity to rise. However, this man managed to slay Jin Zhenghao. I fear his strength is no less than that of a Seventh Rank Martial Marquis. In addition, it is not easy to subjugate a cultivator who can traverse earth and sky."

Even though Zhuo Qian was an Eighth Rank Martial Marquis, he did not have confidence in harnessing the cultivator, Su Chengyu. Merely the ability of sword flight, a trait of cultivators, made martial artists feel inadequate.

Unless one’s martial arts had transcended to the Martial Saint Realm, allowing them to soars through the clouds and airspace, their speed would never match that of a sword-flying cultivator.

"This indeed poses a problem. We should go consult our patriarch and seek his wise counsel."

Zhuo Kun too realized the difficulty in harnessing a cultivator, a Martial King Realm practitioner would have a much greater chance of success.

The Dragon Soul Bureau received a tipoff from Jin family not long after Su Chengyu left the estate. A Deputy Grand Airspace Officer led a team to the scene.

The Jin family knew they were powerless to avenge themselves, so they chose to report to the Dragon Soul Bureau, hoping that the Bureau could punish Su Chengyu. The Jin family did have some ties with this Deputy Grand Airspace Officer.

After examining the scene, the Deputy Grand Airspace Officer also found it hard to believe. The centuries-old Jin family, destroyed overnight.

Even though Guo Yijian had some ties with Jin Zhenghao, now that Jin family was entirely annihilated, these affiliations were pointless. Jin family couldn’t give him any return, thus he didn’t wish to intervene.

"Grand Airspace Officer Guo, you must take a stand for us, for the Jin family, we look to you to avenge our deep-seated hatred." the Jin family pleaded.

"I understand the situation. I will send someone to investigate when I return."

Guo Yijian answered casually and then left with his team.

By the next day, news of the destruction of the Jin family had spread throughout the elite circles of Suifeng, leading to much debate. The comprehensive strength of the Jin family was definitely among the top three in Suifeng, with four Martial Marquis Realm practitioners in the family. Now, it was obliterated by a young man of unknown origin, which caused a stir.

Although it was shocking, no one actually sympathized with Jin family. After all, Jin family was the one who breached the martial ethics and chivalry, aiming to kidnap someone’s disciple for the martial arts secret manual. They kicked an iron plate and invited a calamity that led to their annihilation. It was entirely of their own making.

Yuan Bo had been following this incident. He received the news of the Jin Family’s destruction last night and immediately reported it to Yuan Xueliang.

Yuan Bo could not help but sigh, "It seems my worries were redundant. Mr. Su’s strength is unfathomable, beyond my ability to gauge! Jin family really brought it on themselves, eyeing the martial arts secret manual, they provoked Mr. Su."

"I heard that Wei Jingyi is also dead?" Yuan Xueliang asked.

"Dead! I heard that Wei Jingyi had sought revenge on Mr.Su by hiring people from the occult. However, he was counter-killed by Mr. Su. He also brought it on himself. He can’t blame others."

"Indeed. Mr. Su is young and it is quite unbelievable how strong he is. Even I misjudged him."

Yuan Xueliang secretly rejoiced.

By the time Su Chengyu finished his alchemical concoction, it was already morning. He didn’t hurriedly consume the elixir to attempt breaking into the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but decided to retreat to breakthrough after returning to Lin Jiang.

Just as Su Chengyu was going to check out, the Zhuo family called. After seeing who it was, he hung up without a second thought.

Zhuo Kun tried again, Su Chengyu still didn’t pick up. He understood the Zhuo family’s plot clearly and couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

"Elder brother, this guy won’t pick up my calls. What now?"

Zhuo Kun and Zhuo Qian consulted with the family patriarch. The patriarch was very supportive of their plan. He was in dire need of the elixir of a cultivator. Otherwise, he had no hopes of reaching the transcendent Innate Realm in this lifetime.

Martial artists who have not entered the Innate Realm cannot break through the age limit of two hundred years. A grandmaster can live over 150 years, but the lifespan of a Martial Marquis or a Martial King won’t greatly increase with the enhancement of their abilities.

Martial artists in the Acquired Realm cannot live beyond 200 years. Without crossing this threshold, even a Ninth Grade Martial King would be constrained by lifespan.

The patriarch of the Zhuo family was in his late 180s. Although he still appeared vigorous and had formidable abilities, unlike a grandmaster or marquis who faced decline in their health and energy, he had only around ten years of lifespan left.

The family patriarch dreamed of crossing that threshold and becoming an Innate Warrior, enjoying a lifespan of at least 300 years.

The patriarch’s power hadn’t seen the slightest improvement in more than ten years; without a miracle, he was going to be stuck at this stage.

However, the elixir of the cultivator was his only hope.

According to the family patriarch’s plan, he would personally take action. As long as Su Chengyu was lured to the Zhuo family, he would have no way to escape.

Unfortunately, Su Chengyu was not falling for it. Last night, Su Chengyu had examined the Zhuo family from top to bottom and was sure that there were no thousand-year-old medicinal ingredients left. He had no interest in a battle of wits with the Zhuo family. Even if he won, there would be no benefits.

Moreover, given that the Zhuo family had a Martial King, any conflict would result in his loss. Su Chengyu would never engage in such matter.

"Damn it! This kid is also quite shrewd. It won’t be easy to trick him."

Zhuo Qian furrowed his eyebrows. If Su Chengyu was unwilling to fall for their plot, the Zhuo family really didn’t stand a chance against him.

Zhuo Kun was pacing back and forth, trying to devise a plan. If they wanted Su Chengyu to jump into the trap set by the Zhuo family on his own, then they needed sufficiently enticing bait.

The Zhuo brothers were well aware that the best bait for a cultivator would be all kinds of heavenly treasures. But, the Zhuo family had already offered their three-thousand-year-old medicinal materials. Without the bait, how could they lure Su Chengyu?

"Elder brother, we have to invest heavily if we want a good return." Zhuo Kun suddenly said.

Zhuo Qian stroked his chin and asked, "You mean..."
