Chapter 28

"Mom, I bought eighteen elixirs—why don't you start cultivating first?" Su Xiao handed the elixirs to her mother, then stepped aside to ponder the ways of Wu Gong. "I wonder if Father is having any trouble?"

"Your father is already at the Heavenly Realm—what could possibly go wrong?" Shi Rou comforted him, then began to cultivate.

She did not greatly crave power.

But immortality and eternal youth suddenly ignited her passion for Wu Gong.

Suzhou Grand Hotel.

A vast conference room.

Dozens of men and women, dressed and bearing themselves with distinction, sat in their seats, quietly sipping tea.

If anyone of discerning knowledge were here, they would be stunned.

These people were either wealthy merchants or high-ranking officials—any one of them could shake Suzhou to its core.

One could say the value of this room was astonishing.

"Last night, Boss Su called to say he had something major to discuss—did any of you hear any rumors?" A portly man asked his neighbor in a low voice.

Others shook their heads: "I don't know either."

Just then, a young man resembling Su Zhangchen entered and walked straight to the head seat.

"Who are you?"

"Don't you recognize me, friends?" Su Zhangchen had anticipated this. "I am Su Zhangchen—the one who made an appointment with you last night. As for my appearance, it relates to what we're here to discuss."

"You're Su Zhangchen?"

"That's impossible!"

"Su Zhangchen is nearly forty—don't you dare come here and Hu Nao as some teenager!"

"Yes! Even if you're his illegitimate son, you can't mock us like this!"

Su Zhangchen waved his hand, his voice shifting subtly, as if it could shake the soul: "Friends, please listen to me!"

It was the Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar from the Nine Yin Manual.

But the modified Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar, altered by Zhang Taixuan, was of a higher essence and far more terrifying.

Everyone felt their thoughts freeze for a moment; when they snapped back to awareness, they stared at Su Zhangchen in horror.

"This…"

Su Zhangchen: "I am indeed Su Zhangchen. Yesterday, I returned home, and my daughter said she had encountered a transcendent fate…"

"So I used all the gold I had exchanged earlier to acquire Wu Gong manuals and elixirs. Now, I have reached the Heavenly Realm. Frankly speaking, apart from nuclear weapons, nothing on Earth can threaten me."
