Chapter 42: Knocking on the Door

Haha, good!

Su Chen never expected his good intentions to be treated as dog's liver and lungs; it's really despicable!

He took out the pills from his storage ring and sneered: "The Cold Moon Sect has now climbed up to the Ye family; it's no longer a sect like mine, which is about to collapse, that has the right to enter."

Well then, since it's like that, I'll just take this Vein-forging Pill and feed it to the dogs.

From now on, my Heavenly Profound Dao Sect and the Cold Moon Sect will have nothing to do with each other.

Farewell!

Su Chen suddenly summoned the Blazing Flame Divine Steed and leapt onto the carriage in one step.

Regardless of any past grudges between the Cold Moon Sect and the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect, from now on they have nothing to do with each other.

In the future, whether the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect is wiped out or turns the situation around, it has nothing to do with the Cold Moon Sect.

Likewise, the Young Master of the Cold Moon Sect, whether his meridians are damaged or he cannot cultivate, Su Chen won't even spare him another glance.

The Cold Moon Sect's guard watched Su Chen depart, sleeves flicked, and as he smelled the lingering fragrant pill aroma in the air, he swore he had never smelled such a fragrant pill in his life.

As he had guessed, Su Chen wasn't here to ask the Cold Moon Sect to intercede with Ye Xuan on behalf of the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect.

He was here to deliver a gift.

Unfortunately, the Sect Leader wouldn't even let him in, and to sever ties, directly drove him away.

I don't know what pill Sir Su was holding just now; its quality should be extraordinary, it seems to be called... Vein-forging Pill, and I don't know if this Vein-forging Pill shares its name with the pill for treating damaged meridians.

Should I report this to the Sect Leader again?

Never mind; the Sect Leader wouldn't want to hear it anyway.

Everything that just happened at the back gate of the Cold Moon Sect was witnessed in full by a noble lady hidden in a pavilion of the Wang family.

Hah!

The Imperial Princess personally witnessed Su Chen being given the cold shoulder and driven away in a sorry state.

She couldn't help but let out a light laugh.

"Imperial Princess." The Sword Attendant glanced in the direction Su Chen had left, the corner of his mouth slightly mocking: "Sir Su really was driven out, just as you predicted; all sects and clans avoid him like the plague."

"Sir Su wants these people to intercede for him before Prince Consort Ye Xuan; that's impossible."

"At present, the sect forces of the Eastern Wasteland Region all want to sever ties with the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect; how could a fool dare take this risk? Sir Su is truly utterly foolish."

Not only the Sword Attendant thinks so.

The Imperial Princess thinks so even more.

She is certain that Su Chen's fear of Ye Xuan and the forces behind him has reached its peak.

He began to plan to seek help from those who had aided the Ye family when Ye Xuan was in trouble.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the gates of those families, they paid him no heed, not even letting him in.

"How pathetic!" The Imperial Princess's beautiful eyes were full of disdain and mockery as she said lightly: "I really don't know what the Holy Maiden Liu sees in him; even if I wear out my lips speaking, I remain unmoved on the matter of calling off the engagement."

"I thought you were so tough, but in fact no one can rival Elder Brother Ye Xuan."

"A worthless cripple like this also dares to compete with my Imperial Younger Brother for women?"

"Imperial Princess, should I take action to eliminate him?" the Sword Attendant asked in a low voice.

The Imperial Princess narrowed her long, phoenix-shaped eyes, shook her head with confidence: "He is Elder Brother Ye Xuan's prey; let him keep hitting walls, and when he is desperate, I will act—only then will the effect be obvious."

"Such a native; if I so much as glance at him, I find him foul-smelling."

"Come on, let's go follow and see."

The noble and aloof Imperial Princess of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty looked down on Su Chen from the bottom of her heart.

She thought: Su Chen must now be panicking, feeling extremely stifled and helpless; seeing the rumors spread more and more wildly, he even feared having to go to the Cold Moon Sect for help.

However, the Imperial Princess overthought it.

Su Chen not only wasn't panicking or anxious, he even saved 2000 points.

He stood in mid-air on the eaves, his divine sense sweeping over the list on the envelope.

In the middle of the letter, it also mentioned a family.

It was an affiliated sect of the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect; Su Chen's uncle, back then the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect had two heavenly talents from one family.

This refers to Su Chen's father, Su Changfeng, and his uncle Su Hao.

Later, over the sect leadership, Su Hao lost to Su Changfeng at his hands, and unwilling to assist Su Changfeng, he went to the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect's affiliated sect.

Qianyang Sect.

Under the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect there were three major affiliated sects; now only Qianyang Sect remains.

Now, due to the spreading rumors, Qianyang Sect is essentially isolated and helpless, while Su Changfeng also knows his elder brother's stubborn temperament; once he decides something, no one can change it.

"Young Sect Master, the Grand Sect Master has been deeply troubled lately, as the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and the Ouyang family, among other forces, refuse to sell pills to Qianyang Sect."

"A few years ago, when the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect was at its peak, in order to curry favor with our sect, those people flattered Qianyang Sect in every way, once breaking through its thresholds; now, however, no one pays it any heed."

"If the supply of pills and spiritual treasures cannot be resolved, the Qianyang Sect managed by the Grand Sect Master will have a hard time."

The guard knelt on the ground and respectfully reported the information he had gathered.

Su Chen nodded; indeed, it was as expected.

A sect's foundation usually determines its strength.

For cultivators, the most important resources are spiritual treasures and pills; without them, how can they absorb fresh blood and train the next generation?

After experiencing being turned away at the gate of the Cold Moon Sect, Su Chen did not exchange resources in the Myriad Worlds Market, but chose to first pay a visit.

After all, at times like this, whether they agree to meet or not is another matter.

Meanwhile.

Qianyang Sect.

The Grand Sect Master, who had just returned to the sect, sighed repeatedly, his mind full of the high-grade spiritual treasure inquired about by the core disciple earlier, as well as the Fourth Grade Bone-Tempering Pill.

The sect's treasure vault is already an empty shell; Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and the Ouyang family, because of the rumors from the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect, refuse to sell elixirs to them.

Recently two more capable elders have resigned; if this continues, he'll end up a bare-pole commander.

"Sect Leader, Master Su requests an audience!"

"Which Master Su?" Sect Leader Su Hao's expression froze slightly, he frowned and asked.

The servant replied, "The Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect says he has important business to discuss with you and wishes to meet you."

Important business?

He didn't go to the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect to cause trouble, yet they still have the nerve to come ask him?

Su Hao flashed a hint of resentment in his eyes, and in less than half a second his gaze turned firm as he said, "Let him get lost; the current state of our Heaven Yang Sect is not something they caused single-handedly. Su Changfeng, this descendant of the heavenly demon, if I ever see him again I will show no mercy."

After thinking, the servant still dared to add: "Master Su said he anticipated your attitude, but he didn't come for the Sect Leader Su's affairs."

"He truly has urgent business and hopes to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Su Hao didn't even flinch.

On his face instead appeared an irrepressible hint of resentment.

Back when he failed in the bid for sect leader, Su Hao resigned voluntarily; taking over this Heaven Yang Sect was also to prove to his elder brother Su Changfeng that his abilities are no worse.

Who would have thought that his ancestors, and even this elder brother of his, are actually heavenly demon descendants; watching his sect thrive day by day, it has plummeted because of this very reason.

Even a clay figurine has three parts of temper, let alone he is a sect leader.

He had long since severed ties with his brother, even changed his surname, and will have nothing to do with the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect.
