Chapter 467: Chapter 466: The Path of Su Zhan and Su Cang!

Ten thousand miles away from the Spirit Sword Sect.

As swift as lightning, a flare fell into the woods, transforming into two men, one old, one young.

Su Zhan emerged from the flare, falling to the ground immediately. Vomiting fresh blood, he looked defeated with a shockingly pale face.

"Father, are you alright?" Su Cang hurriedly rushed to support Su Zhan.

"I’m fine, I just didn’t expect Ling Tianzi’s cultivation to be so formidable," Su Zhan’s gaze was cold, he was deeply wary when thinking of Ling Tianzi.

Su Cang asked, "Father, what exactly is Ling Tianzi’s background that he is even stronger than you?"

Su Zhan replied, "I don’t know, his origins are extremely mysterious. A hundred years ago, he suddenly appeared at the Spirit Sword Sect with Li Shanqing, stating that he would reside there for a hundred years, and then leave."

"At the time, I was unwilling and thus fought him. In that fight, I realized I was completely outmatched; he was merely playing with me."

"I had no choice but to let him stay."

Su Cang exclaimed, "A hundred years ago, wasn’t that when Jian Xuan left?"

Su Zhan confirmed with a cold gaze, "Yes. I suspect Ling Tianzi’s sudden appearance has great connections with Jian Xuan."

Su Cang asked anxiously, "Father, what should we do next?"

Su Zhan contemplated for a moment, then said, "Cang, the pond of Shenwu Kingdom is too small, it is no longer a place for you. Go find Ye Suxin in the Miracle Ridge. With her status there, you can go even further."

Su Cang was furious. "That slut is having an affair with Lin Bai! Dad, I absolutely refuse to seek help from her again."

Su Zhan tried to pacify him, "Cang, no matter how wronged you feel, you have to bear it for now. I can’t finish my business in the Shenwu Kingdom and return you back to the Su Dynasty as of now."

"Go to the Miracle Ridge first, make sure to please Ye Suxin. She can provide you with cultivation resources so you can go further."

"Once I finish my business in Shenwu Kingdom and obtain what I’m after, we can return to the Su Dynasty. Plus, because of the great merit, we might even gain the appreciation of the Royal Family."

Su Zhan said with fervor in his eyes.

Su Cang asked, puzzled. "Father, you’ve always told me that you came to Shenwu Kingdom to take care of some business. What exactly is so important that you need to endure the indignity of staying in Shenwu Kingdom for more than a hundred years?"

"Ah, it’s about time; I should tell you a few things."

Su Zhan said, "Cang, although we are royal disciples of the Su Dynasty, my mother was just a concubine of low status. We might be the offsprings of the royal family but we are not considered orthodox."

"Years ago, my mother discovered a huge secret. The royal family was looking for something; the Central Holy Nation was searching for it too. Whoever found it would be granted enormous rewards."

"My mother learned of this news by chance and secretly secured the opportunity for me. That’s why I came to Shenwu Kingdom."

"Back then, the Su Dynasty secretly found out that the item was in the Spirit Sword Sect, so I infiltrated into it. I started as an outer sect disciple and gradually risen to become a core martial artist."

"Over a hundred years ago, I poisoned the Sect Leader and Jian Xuan in an attempt to kill them. I didn’t expect Jian Xuan’s cultivation to be so profound. Despite being poisoned, he took many treasures from the Spirit Sword Sect and fought his way out."

"And he took that item with him."

"As a result, I had to stay in the Spirit Sword Sect. I firmly believe that Jian Xuan will return."

"Unfortunately, he hasn’t returned even after a hundred years. I suspect he may have died outside..."

"Now that I have left the Spirit Sword Sect, it is time for me to start looking for Jian Xuan."

Su Zhan said, deeply.

Despite being a royal disciple of the Su Dynasty, Su Zhan did not receive the favor of the royal family due to his mother’s lowly status.

However, if Su Zhan got hold of the treasure and brought it back to the Su Dynasty, it would be a significant accomplishment and he would undoubtedly gain the royal family’s attention.

Curiously, Su Cang asked, "Father, what exactly is this treasure that has even attracted the Central Holy Kingdom?"

Su Zhan shook his head and answered, "I’m not sure. All I know is it’s a fragment and it’s incomplete..."

Hearing this, Su Cang was taken aback.

A mere fragment was enough to allure the experts of the Central Holy Domain to search for it.

If the artifact was complete, wouldn’t it cause a bloody turmoil in the Martial World?

Having heard Su Zhan’s words, Su Cang understood the artifact was extremely significant. Anyone who possessed it would command power, status, respect, beauties, riches, in essence, everything.

Su Zhan advised, "Cang, don’t ask anymore. Go practice in the Miracle Ridge. Even if Ye Suxin treats you harshly, you must endure."

"Once I find the treasure and we return to the Su Dynasty, then everyone on the Miracle Ridge, including Ye Suxin, will kneel before us, begging for mercy!"

Su Cang promised earnestly, "I understand, Father. For the sake of our grand plan, I’m ready to endure petty insults. I’ll try to get into Ye Suxin’s good graces, using her and her father’s resources to strengthen my Cultivation and help you find the treasure."

"I don’t think Ye Suxin will be hard on me after all, she is still my fiancée in name."

Su Zhan spoke lightly, "When I first arrived in the Shenwu Kingdom, I mentioned the name of the Su Dynasty, which persuaded Ye Wuhuan to let you become engaged to Ye Suxin."

"I did this to leave you an alternate pathway. If I failed to find the treasure, you could lean on the resources of the Miracle Ridge to make a breakthrough."

"I didn’t expect that it would actually become necessary."

Su Cang asked sardonically, "Is Ye Wuhuan my future father-in-law’s name?"

Su Zhan confirmed, "That’s right, Ye Wuhuan, the Peak Master of the Five Peaks in the Five Peaks and Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge, the Emperor of the Holy Night Dynasty, the number one Dynasty in Lingdong 700 States, and also one of the three Sect Leader Supremes of the Miracle Ridge!"

"Ye Wuhuan is like a god in the Miracle Ridge!"

Su Cang exclaimed, "I didn’t realize that my soon-to-be father-in-law wields such power in the Miracle Ridge."

Su Zhan chuckled, "Not only in the Miracle Ridge, he is an eminent figure in the Lingdong 700 States."

"Who in the Lingdong 700 States doesn’t know about the Holy Night Dynasty!"

"Who doesn’t recognize Ye Wuhuan, the Emperor of the Holy Night Dynasty!"

Satisfied, Su Zhan said, "Okay, Cang, go to the Miracle Ridge first, while I stay in the territory of the Shenwu Kingdom to find Jian Xuan.

"Alright."

After discussing with Su Cang, Su Zhan stayed in the Shenwu Kingdom searching for Jian Xuan, while Su Cang headed for the Miracle Ridge.

Before departing, Su Zhan imparted earnestly, "Cang, if I return to the Miracle Ridge with the treasure, it will be when we, father and son, ascend to the peak of the Martial World. "

"But if I do not return, you’ll be left without any support on the Martial path. You will have to rely on yourself."

"I understand!" Su Cang nodded deeply.

If Su Zhan failed to find the treasure, they would naturally not be recognized by the Su Dynasty.Even if Su Cang returned to the Su Dynasty, he would be merely a slightly esteemed illegitimate prince, with no right to any Cultivation resources.

Su Zhan took a deep breath, "Everything relies on this one treasure!"
