Chapter 470: Chapter 464 Watching the Battle (1 update)

Murderous intent swirled in Lan Wutong’s eyes, and his expression grew dark and sinister.

He truly wanted to obliterate Ling Long, this mere ant, with one slap.

But.

He couldn’t.

Ling Long was the woman Xing Nie had set his sights on, and he couldn’t kill her.

Taking a deep breath, Lan Wutong suppressed the killing intent and turned his gaze toward the family head, Lan Xiangnan, with an obvious intention for him to persuade Ling Long.

"Ling Long, you should go back! Think it over carefully, and then make a decision. There are still seven or eight days until your wedding day!" Lan Wutong said firmly, devoid of any better ideas. Then, he looked at Lan Su, "Lan Su, you stay."

Very soon.

In the hall, only Lan Su and Lan Wutong remained.

"Su’er, do you understand why I asked you to stay back alone?" Lan Wutong asked somberly.

"You want me to persuade Sister Ling Long to marry," Lan Su said with a somewhat mocking smile. "Grandfather, it seems I misjudged you. I thought you were different from those who only care about strength, talent, and are heartlessly cold-blooded..."

"Su’er, in fact, even if we don’t consider the Lan Family’s viewpoint, Xing Nie is still the best choice. Xing Nie is truly outstanding. Honestly, grandpa had even considered letting you marry Xing Nie before."

"Unfortunately, Xing Nie was later chosen by the Royal Family as one of the candidates for Imperial Son-in-Law. You are my granddaughter and naturally cannot become a concubine. So I put that thought aside!" Lan Xiangnan said gravely.

"If ’Brother Su’ you keep talking about, the man named Su Chen, hadn’t died, everything could be renegotiated. But the fact is, Su Chen has died. Ling Long will have to marry someone someday, after all. With that being the case, can there possibly be a better man than Xing Nie?"

Lan Su frowned, "Grandfather, does being outstanding have to rely solely on strength and talent? Maybe my Brother Su is far behind Xing Nie in terms of talent for martial cultivation and strength, but he is loyal and brave enough to take responsibility. Among all the men I have met over the years, he is the one I acknowledge the most."

"Still, Su Chen is already dead!" Lan Xiangnan’s voice raised a bit, "Ling Long’s beauty is top-level among women, but her talent and strength are not. As such, without the protection of a strong man, her future would be very bleak."

"Why can’t it be some other man? Wouldn’t it be better if Sister Ling Long could find a man she likes on her own later on?" Lan Su remained defiant.

"Ah... Su’er, you are still too naive, not fully appreciating the harshness of the Divine Martial Continent. You ask me whether one’s excellence has to be measured by martial cultivation talent and strength? Then, I’ll tell you, yes! On the Divine Martial Continent, strength and talent are everything!" Lan Xiangnan’s expression turned solemn.

"Grandfather..." Lan Su grew anxious, biting her lip, "Even so, I refuse to believe that in this vast world, Xing Nie is the only one with the greatest talent, the most monstrous abilities."

"Su’er, you don’t understand Xing Nie. Tomorrow, you’ll come with me to see a showdown," Lan Xiangnan paused before continuing, "A showdown between Xing Nie and Ning Tianhang!"

"What?" Lan Su’s face changed drastically, her beautiful eyes shimmering, "Grandfather, Ning Heavenly Sword? Do you mean Ning Tianhang, known as the Demonic Blood Sword?"

"Yes, him!"

"Grandfather, you’re not lying to me, right? Isn’t Ning Tianhang over a thousand years old? Isn’t he one of the longstanding powerhouses of Holy Spirit City? Isn’t he a super expert in the Seventh Stage Divine Power Realm at Peak Phase? Xing Nie is going to duel him?" Lan Su couldn’t believe it, knowing that Xing Nie was only twenty-seven years old!

"Do I look like I’m deceiving you? Su’er, is this news shocking? Grandpa has emphasized it over and over again, Xing Nie is extremely strong, monstrously so. Did you think grandpa was joking? In my life of over a thousand years, after meeting countless people, Xing Nie is certainly among the top three." Lan Xiangnan’s voice grew even more serious, "All right, go out now! We’ll talk again after tomorrow!"

Without uttering a word, Lan Su left the hall.

Yet her mind kept buzzing persistently.

The more outstanding Xing Nie was, the smaller the chance for Sister Ling Long to defy her fate.

At the same time.

While Lan Su and Lan Xiangnan were conversing,

On the way to the attic, Ling Long was stopped by the Great Elder Lan Wutong.

"Great Elder, is there something you need?" Ling Long lifted her head, making eye contact with Lan Wutong.

"I need to inform you of something. Tomorrow, there will be a grand event in Holy Spirit City. You will go with Lan Su and all the elders and officials of the Lan family to watch!" Lan Wutong said indifferently.

"What grand event?" Ling Long frowned slightly.

"The duel between Xing Nie and Devil Blood Sword Ning Tianxing!" Lan Wutong did not conceal the truth.

"I won’t go!" Ling Long shook her head; she had no interest whatsoever.

"You must go. If you don’t, Lan Su will be in trouble!" Lan Wutong said with an implicit threat, "You are Lan Su’s friend, even more, Lan Su is your lifesaver. You surely won’t want to see her in trouble, right?"

Ling Long fell silent.

Lan Su in trouble? What did that mean? She didn’t quite understand.

"Xing Nie specifically asked for you to be present at the battle." Lan Wutong’s voice was haunting, "The family head has refused because he knows you would certainly decline. However, Xing Nie is very assertive. He said he saw you with Lan Su on the street and that you are close friends, so he wants Lan Su to persuade you to go. If Lan Su cannot do that, he will blame her. Although Lan Su is the family head’s granddaughter, the Lan family is not as powerful as the Xing family, and Lan Su is far inferior to Xing Nie. If Xing Nie blames Lan Su, it is indeed possible that she could be in trouble."

"Just to watch this fight?" After a moment of silence, Ling Long looked up and asked.

"Just to watch, to sit in the audience next to Lan Su, nothing more!"

"Then I’ll go!" Ling Long said and then left.

Merely to watch, as if going to see a vaudeville show—it wasn’t a big deal. For Lan Su’s sake, she was willing to do it.

Though Ling Long was outwardly cold, she was like Su Chen, valuing friendship and loyalty, and unwilling to let her friends suffer consequences because of her as long as it didn’t violate her own principles.

Burning Heaven Sect.

"Great Elder, inside this Storage Bag, there are 700,000 Zixuan Stones, 10 million Crimson Xuan Stones, and some Profound Grade High Quality and Inferior Earth Tier martial skills," Su Chen handed Xuu Zhan a Storage Bag.

In the dense fog of the Dragon Blood Mountain Range, he had obtained a total of thirty-two Black Xuan Stones, 1.7 million Zixuan Stones, and nearly forty million Crimson Xuan Stones, among many other Martial Cultivation Resources.

These Martial Cultivation Resources weren’t something Su Chen could deplete in a short period.

Of course, he needed to keep a portion for the Burning Heaven Sect.

The Burning Heaven Sect wasn’t exactly wealthy, being a Sixth Rank Power, as one could imagine.

"This..." Xuu Zhan was astonished, "Su Chen, where did you get this from?"

"From within the Dragon Blood Mountain Range, where I had good luck and found quite a lot of Martial Cultivation Resources!"

"Keep them for yourself!" Xuu Zhan shook his head.

"I still have plenty more!"

"This..." Xuu Zhan furrowed his brow.
