Chapter 989: Chapter 989: Parting is only for a better reunion.

"Is the Luo Clan blackmailing you?"

Su Chengyu’s complexion turned cold, and a murderous intent began to rise.

Xu Nanzhi shook her head gently, looking at Su Chengyu, "Chengyu, don’t be impulsive, will you listen to me first?"

Seeing Xu Nanzhi’s almost pleading words, Su Chengyu still managed to suppress the impulse in his heart.

"The Luo Clan is an Ancient Clan. They have countless secrets. Right now, you have just started to establish your foundation. If I were to go with you, I would become a ticking time bomb by your side."

"What do I have to fear?!"

Su Chengyu said with agitation. For Xu Nanzhi, he was not afraid to step into the realm of the Nine-Star Mystery Sky Array, even at the risk of his life. He was not afraid to face off against the Luo Clan till the end!

Back then, his father Su Zhedian managed to take Yun Qingluo away from the Cloud Tribe, and today he had the courage to confront the Luo Clan head-on.

Xu Nanzhi felt warmth in her heart seeing Su Chengyu’s resolute expression, but it also strengthened her resolve.

She did not want to become a burden to Su Chengyu.

"Chengyu, I believe that one day you will surely be able to take me away, but not now."

"Just let me finish speaking," Xu Nanzhi suddenly stretched out her hand to stop Su Chengyu who wanted to interrupt her, and continued.

"I too wish to leave the Luo Clan, to abandon this identity, to forsake the so-called destiny and be with you. But during the time I lost my memory, I also learned more about myself. I want to stay with the Luo Clan, not just for you, but for myself as well."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Nanzhi’s words completely confused Su Chengyu.

Xu Nanzhi glanced at herself and said softly, "I was born with Divine Bones and bear the ancient inheritance of the Luo Clan. This has always been an inescapable curse. If I leave the Luo Clan and stay by your side, I won’t live past three months."

Su Chengyu did not argue. Indeed, he had struggled to find a way for Xu Nanzhi to survive.

"Does the Luo Clan have a way?"

Xu Nanzhi nodded, "The Luo Clan’s secret techniques can allow me to continue cultivating. As long as I continue to ascend in realm, I can keep on living."

"Really?"

"Do you doubt that I’m lying to you?"

"No... it’s not like that, I’m just..."

Xu Nanzhi smiled, knowing what Su Chengyu was worried about.

"The Luo Clan indeed has no kindness in their hearts. They want me to cultivate only so that I can reach the Hollow Realm sooner. Only when I reach the Hollow Realm can I become a sacrifice to extend the lifespan of the Luo Clan’s lineage. That is why they took away my memory and made me focus on cultivation."

"Is it the same with the other Ancient Clans?"

Xu Nanzhi shook her head, "I’m not sure. Although the principle is the same, the specific methods seem to vary. But the Luo Clan wants me to be part of the lineage extension, they will definitely make me cultivate in peace until I reach the Hollow Realm. Before reaching the Hollow Realm, they would not let any accidents befall me."

Even though Xu Nanzhi said this, the worry on Su Chengyu’s face did not entirely disappear.

Seeing that Su Chengyu was still uneasy, Xu Nanzhi continued, "Don’t worry. In order to make me cultivate in peace, the Luo Clan indeed treats me as a Saintess, with a revered status. At least overtly, no one in the Luo Clan would dare disrespect me."

Su Chengyu recalled the reverence the Luo clan members had shown Xu Nanzhi when he first met her.

"Even so, it’s not safe for you to stay in the Luo Clan. I do not trust the people of the Ancient Clan."

"Then do you still not trust me?"

Xu Nanzhi countered.

"Back then, I was a helpless girl and still managed to stay safely by Hong Zhen Ting’s side. Now, I am a cultivator as well."

Su Chengyu was at a loss for words by Xu Nanzhi’s reply, finally saying,

"After all that, you’re still worried about the Luo Clan causing trouble for me, right?"

Xu Nanzhi blinked, neither confirming nor denying.

She spoke logically, but Xu Nanzhi also yearned to flee with Su Chengyu to the ends of the world.

But she knew that Su Chengyu was destined to not be an ordinary man, he still had a long journey ahead, and she did not want him to forfeit his future for her sake.

The Ancient Luo Clan, even though it now needed to continue its bloodline, still had Land Immortals seated within. Without her constant vigilance over their movements when not in the Luo Clan, Xu Nanzhi could not be at ease.

"Nan Zhi, following me truly wrongs you."

As Su Chengyu said this, he embraced Xu Nanzhi into his arms, understanding that even with ten thousand reluctances in his heart at this moment, he could not persuade this woman otherwise.

Feeling the breath of her man through her nose, Xu Nanzhi leaned against Su Chengyu’s chest, "No, being with you is the happiest thing in my life, Xu Nanzhi."

Without a word between them, they held each other tightly, savoring the moment’s tenderness.

They both knew that this reunion would only bring about the next parting.

And the parting was for a better reunion.

On the other hand, the contention at Divide Treasure Cliff soon entered an intense stage.

Initially, the native inhabitants of Kunwu Realm were somewhat restrained.

But upon realizing that Su Chengyu and Lin An hadn’t joined the scramble, they began to act without any reservations.

In most sessions of Divide Treasure Cliff, apart from a few eras where extraordinary demons emerged, it was almost always the natives of Kunwu Realm who gained more advantages.

After all, compared to the trialists, these natives were clearly more united.

Once the Human Clan finished scrambling, they basically all went their separate ways.

However, these natives could continue to settle their scores behind closed doors after the trialists had left.

Fighting solo for opportunities at Divide Treasure Cliff often led to no good end.

Though the Human Clan side did form groups, in terms of numbers, they could hardly compare with the natives, not to mention that they had to not only compete with the natives but also be vigilant against sneak attacks from other trialists at all times.

However, compared to the cataclysmic disasters at Sky Piercing Peak, Divide Treasure Cliff could at most be considered a man-made calamity.

Opportunity coexisted with danger, otherwise, Su Chengyu would have discouraged them from getting involved at the onset.

Of course, this still couldn’t be said to be completely safe.

Bei Tang Qian Xiao and Yang Junmo’s team could be said to have had some close calls, while the members of the Qingcheng Sect faced life-threatening perils.

Over a sword box, the Qingcheng Sect members were first embroiled in a struggle with a gang of Demon Men, and after barely managing to drive them off, they were entangled by a group of trialists.

If it hadn’t been for Mengmeng using the "Word Follows Law" in a critical moment, and intimidating them with Su Chengyu’s reputation, at least half of the Qingcheng Sect members would have died.

Even so, Cai Zi Feng was still gravely injured and fell into a coma, fortunately without any threat to his life.

Because of this, the members of the Qingcheng Sect also stopped proceeding any further.

After the sword box incident, they only tried their luck on the outskirts before withdrawing early from the competition for opportunities.

In the end, they only obtained one sword box, two bottles of elixirs, several precious herbs, and one book on cultivation methods, which was even less than what the two-person team of Bei Tang Qian Xiao and Yang Junmo had gathered.

The pair who had clearly garnered more spoils, Yang Junmo, in an uncharacteristic move, only took one bottle of elixir and let Bei Tang Qian Xiao have the rest.

Bei Tang Qian Xiao was taken aback, "Are you really satisfied with just this bottle of elixir?"

"A gentleman’s word is his bond!"

"You? A gentleman?"

Lin An said unceremoniously while bursting their bubble.

Yang Junmo did not get angry but merely chuckled, "Don’t worry, Bei Tang sister, I definitely won’t go back on my word, as long as you don’t regret it."

"I, of course, have no objections, but... "

Bei Tang Qian Xiao, who naturally disliked taking advantage of others, especially when that person was Yang Junmo, hesitated.

Seeing Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s hesitation, Su Chengyu also spoke up, "Rest assured and take it, that fellow won’t suffer any loss."

With those words from Su Chengyu, it made Bei Tang Qian Xiao even more curious about what exactly was in that bottle of elixir that Yang Junmo had taken.
