Chapter 107: with translation of chapter title

Waiting for Su Chen to return.

The Liu Sect Master, closely following behind, seeing this, became directly anxious to death.

Qing Xia also mustered her courage to advise, saying: "Holy Maiden, why not first return to the city and wait?"

"If it really doesn't work, I'll take you to chase the Young Master Su; outside, the violent spiritual phenomenon hasn't completely subsided, so doing this will surely block your meridians."

Liu Liyan stubbornly shook her head, a layer of frost on her eyelashes, and she said: "He told me to obey, to wait obediently in Yunhai City for him; I must obey, I cannot not wait."

"The Young Master Su told you to wait for him, but you're not standing here waiting; besides, waiting for him to return to the city will at least take a month."

"But, this is the closest distance to Achen's heart."

Qing Xia: "……"

The Liu Sect Master, face full of anxiety, bitterly advised: "Liyan, Su Chen has already left Yunhai City; even if you wait here a day and a night, he won't come back. Be good, come down and listen to Mother."

"I won't listen."

"But my daughter……"

"Don't say anything."

The Liu Sect Master closed his mouth and fell silent.

The Liu Sect Master and Qing Xia exchanged a glance, both seeing the other's worry.

"What should we do if this continues? Surely we won't really have to wait here for a month, will we?"

"He told her to wait, but he didn't mean for her to wait like this; why does she have to go down this rabbit hole? And this place is the closest to the Young Master Su..."

Qing Xia's mindset directly exploded.

"If I had known it would be like this, I should have reminded the Young Master Su; with such a wide range, it should have been narrowed to inside the city."

"Well, what should we do now?"

The Liu Sect Master, anxious enough to wrinkle his face, then pulled Qing Xia to a remote place and communicated via divine sense: "What if... what if I go find Sect Master Su to explain the situation? You sneak out of the city and call the young nephew back?"

"Your meridians are blocked inside, spiritual energy gathering in the dantian; you might fall ill any moment, but let it be—better than me, a white-haired person, sending off a black-haired one. Now that Su's young nephew has just left, if you fly with all your strength, you should still catch up."

"Alright, I'm going!" Qing Xia also sensed the seriousness of the matter.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"My stubborn and pitiful daughter, Mother's heart aches to death……"

The Liu Sect Master and Qing Xia hastily leapt down the city wall to go find Su Changfeng to borrow a flying vessel.

But the two didn't see——

The graceful figure standing on the city gate, after the two left the city, curled the corner of her mouth, everything under control in that arc; her gaze infinitely tender and affectionate as she looked far into the distance, she softly murmured from between her teeth……

"Achen."

"I am very obedient."

"I will always be obedient."

"It wasn't me who told Mother to go; I have been waiting well for your return, every word you said I take as golden rules, I have been listening to them; anything you don't let me do, I won't do; it's Mother and Qing Xia acting on their own, you will definitely not blame me."

Qing Xia, rushing out of the city, on one hand worried that Liu Liyan would be invaded by violent spiritual energy, damaging her meridians; on the other hand, afraid she wouldn't catch up to the Young Master Su.

She would never have guessed, even if beaten to death, that this scene was exactly what Liu Liyan had anticipated.

I originally thought the master was just a love‑brain with only Su Chen in her heart.

But I didn't expect her to be such a love‑brain full of wit and wisdom, as if she had spent three years in the Ziyang Sect.

No matter how far Su Chen is from her.

Liu Liyan will use every means, exhausting all her thoughts to bring Su Chen back to her side, even if it's just a glance, a sentence of fewer than ten characters, or merely gazing at his silhouette—she will pay any price for it!

In the air from Yunhai City to Qianyuan City.

Ye Xuan had long anticipated that, with the spatial formation destroyed, Su Chen would certainly leave the city by sword flight.

He would spare no expense, everything, to rescue Lin Jianran.

With such determination, Elder Ye the Great Elder ordered that the Esteemed Senior Brother of the Qingming Divine Sect lead three thousand disciples to form an array and hide here.

They were just waiting for that brainless playboy Su Chen to pass through here, then use the killing formation to end Su Chen.

"Reporting to Senior Brother, they've come!"

"There's movement outside the formation!"

"We have concealed our aura, and a rogue cultivator's jade slip transmission from near the Yunhai City gate reports that the cultivators inside Yunhai City, before an incense stick burned, piloted a flying vessel capable of carrying over a hundred people and left the city."

The words had just fallen.

The Esteemed Senior Brother jumped up.

He first showed delight, then fell into thought: "Hahaha, good! Su Chen that semen‑brain playboy…… Wait, the flying boat they bought with spirit stones?"

"The nearby towns that can sell spirit stones are strictly guarded by our disciples, and even the only two long‑distance teleportation arrays have been destroyed by us."

"Moreover, Su Changfeng has even withdrawn the disciples from East City, obviously giving up on breaking through to other cities to buy spirit stones; at this critical juncture, how could they possibly have spirit stones—where could they come from?"

"Could it be that someone dares to secretly trade with Su Changfeng behind our backs?"

The Esteemed Senior Brother simply could not believe it.

Young Master Ye Xuan exhausted his thoughts and energy, ordering people to destroy the spatial transmission arrays and tightly guard every city gate, all so that Su Changfeng and the others would have no spirit stones and would be swollen to bursting by the violent spiritual energy.

Sect cultivators have their own bottom line; even if they were to burst from spiritual energy overload, they could not possibly plunder mortal spirit stones—precisely for this reason.

But now the hidden rogue cultivator told him……

Su Changfeng not only has spirit stones, but even has an abundance of them to purchase a spirit vessel.

"Esteemed Senior Brother, we also have no way to know."

"But the hidden undercover agent clearly said he saw no supporting person enter the city."

"No one brought spirit stones to support?"

"Could it be that they are slaughtering mortals?"

No, absolutely impossible.

Cultivators who slaughter mortals may incur karmic retribution and create killing karma; later breakthroughs can trigger inner demons and invite heavenly punishment.

"They must have used up their last spirit stones; surely there can't be a complete spirit vein in this tiny, impoverished Cloud Sea City," the honorary senior brother continually reassured himself, thinking he might be overthinking.

"That's right."

"Su Changfeng, who dotes solely on his only son, would rather have his own body explode than let Su Chen, that prodigal son, suffer."

"Hmph! I still overestimated them."

"Issue my decree, let all disciples rally with twelvefold spirit; we must capture Su Chen alive and seize the inheritance that Young Master Ye Xuan desires. With our three thousand cultivators against their three hundred, we have nothing to fear."

The cultivators hiding nearby immediately shouted, "Kill! Kill!"

The honorary senior brother pinched his fingers in calculation.

They have three thousand disciples, half of whom are from the Azure Abyss Sect, with their cultivation basically stable at the Martial Emperor realm.

On Su Chen's side, this Eastern Wasteland Indigenous Sect has at most disciples at the Martial Spirit realm.

He just doesn't believe that, with his three thousand Martial Emperors versus a hundred-to-one ratio, Su Chen could still escape alive from here.

The jade slip message sent by Young Master Ye Xuan clearly reminded them that Su Chen possesses a supreme inheritance and has mastered talisman crafting; those thunderfire talismans can summon heavenly thunder from tens of zhang away.

Overcome the strong while weak, fight beyond one's rank.

The honorary senior brother kept all this in mind, without any arrogance.
