Chapter 66: The Only Son Falls

Brother Ye Xuan is gone,

Su Chen is gone,

The title of Outer Sect Elder is gone,

The cultivation resources envied by the sisters are gone,

Brother Ye Xuan is truly ruthless, not cherishing the slightest past affection, being cold toward her without a word, and not trusting her—right! If Su Chen were still here, he would surely believe in himself, protect himself, and feel sorry for himself—exactly! Su Chen escaped from Qianyuan City, still alive, and moreover possesses such a terrifying trump card.

She still has Su Chen!

"Su Chen……waa waa waa……I wrongly blamed you, I know you definitely won't blame me and will still protect and cherish me."

"But I now understand how deeply you love me; this time I feel guilty—come to Lin Manor to save me, I've already lost hope in this place."

"I hate Brother Ye Xuan; I finally understand who I should choose between you and him—only you……you are the only one who truly tolerates and loves me……" Lin Jianran's intestines turned green with regret, she secretly decided that upon returning to Lin Manor she would use the jade slip to send a voice transmission to Su Chen.

Let Su Chen bring spirit-grade talismans, those terrifying trump cards, and the supreme inheritance; Ye Xuan fears him so much he surely can't defeat Su Chen.

Yes.

At that time, let her Brother Ye Xuan become her male favorite, then she will rule the East Wasteland and become the empress of the East Wasteland Region……Su Chen loves her so deeply he will certainly do everything possible to satisfy her.

Lin Jianran's sobs echoed all the way from the Qingming Sect to the Lin family.

A handsome mount was tethered not far from the Qingming Sect.

A petite woman glanced at the direction Lin Jianran had disappeared; upon thinking of today's news, she couldn't help clenching her pink fist.

She punched the roadside city wall, the wall instantly cracking like a spiderweb; her face flushed red: "So the person who intercepted me halfway last night was you!"

"Damn it! I already had it in hand, yet you actually believed it! I don't know where you got those few talismans; they killed the jailers, scattering them, and even my two subordinates were struck down by the heavenly thunder you summoned."

"I'm furious—now things are screwed up; how am I to explain this to my master?"

Grumbling, grumbling……

The petite woman suddenly staggered.

A terrifying pressure surged from behind, instantly causing the ambient temperature to plummet.

Until this moment, the petite woman finally noticed someone behind her; she turned around and met the blood-red eyes within the silver mask.

"Greetings, Master!"

At this moment, in Qianyuan City, the Cheng family, Qianyang Sect, and Han Yue Sect—these three major powers, with familial ties among them—upon hearing the news, all feared being implicated.

The sect masters of Qianyang Sect and Han Yue Sect were crowded together with the Su family in a transmission array, not knowing what they were saying.

Cheng Elder, dazedly sitting in the grand tutor's chair, his mind filled with scenes of severed limbs and intertwining lightning and fire, truly never imagined Su Chen could turn the tide against the wind.

Moreover, he never expected the opponent to possess a supreme inheritance and unfathomable cultivation, slaughtering his way out of Qianyuan City.

"Cheng Family Head, do you really have talisman masters in our East Wasteland? And are there artifact masters capable of crafting sacred weapons?"

"Our East Wasteland's top artifact master is only fifth rank; the same goes for alchemist masters—as for the talisman dao, hasn't its transmission long been cut off?"

"Su Chen……where on earth did he come from?" The Han Yue Sect master's heart was greatly shaken, unable to calm down for a long time.

She clenched her fists tightly, suddenly recalling that Su Chen had visited the Han Yue Sect a few days earlier; at that time he sought an audience at the back gate, she had thought he was asking for aid and thus directly refused.

She even put on a sour face and said some unpleasant words.

Now, thinking back, she actually feels a bit regretful.

"I don't know."

Cheng Elder was glad he had listened to his granddaughter's advice and not offended Su Chen: "All the clans and sects of the East Wasteland regard Su Chen as nothing more than a second‑generation heir who spends his days fawning over women."

"I… actually… I also always thought that way, but I never imagined he hid himself so deeply!"

"All forces believe Su Chen will surely be imprisoned by Ye Xuan and the Ye family, reduced to a hostage to threaten the Su sect master into handing over the sect‑protection technique—but he instead revealed a shocking trump card and fought his way out."

"The talisman art, long lost, he has hidden away; the profundity of the Tianxuan Dao Sect is truly inscrutable—even those who were certain the Tianxuan Dao Sect would be exterminated ended up as a joke in the end."

"Alas!"

Having said that, the Su Grand Sect Master of Qianyang Sect let out a sigh.

Qianyang Sect is a subordinate sect of the Tianxuan Dao Sect, and he is the elder brother of Su Changfeng—if he had not severed ties with the Tianxuan Dao Sect……

Everyone in the transmission array was on good terms; Cheng Elder didn't hide anything, and besides he was Su Chen's maternal grandfather, he couldn't help but say: "Fortunately, Su Chen came to my door a few days ago; I heeded my granddaughter's words and did not shut him out."

"The East Wasteland is probably about to be reshuffled……"

"What?"

"Swish!"

Two gazes fell upon Cheng Elder.

The Han Yue Sect master and the Qianyang Sect master, as if hearing something astonishing, spoke in unison: "Did Su Chen also come to your place a few days ago?"

This slipped out.

The Han Yue Sect master's expression suddenly stiffened; both turned their heads, their gazes landing on each other.

"Also went to the Han Yue Sect?"

"Also went to the Qianyang Sect?"

"Hiss!"

In other words.

The three major powers were all visited by Su Chen.

Seeing the two's astonished looks, Cheng Elder instantly understood; he did not conceal it, lowered his voice, and gathered a sound‑proof barrier around the three: "He indeed came to visit the Cheng Manor."

"At the time my wife feared involvement and had already cut ties with the Tianxuan Dao Sect; I originally didn't plan to meet, but my granddaughter with damaged meridians pulled me—otherwise the Cheng family would have ceased to exist……"

From Cheng Elder's words, it turns out he actually risked being watched by Ye Xuan to meet Su Chen?

The Qianyang Sect master couldn't believe it: "The Tianxuan Dao Sect was in imminent danger back then—you dare privately meet Su Chen? Aren't you afraid of being watched by the forces behind Ye Xuan?"

"Is Su Chen looking for you so you'll speak well of him before Ye Xuan? After all, you once lent Ye Xuan a hand, and he owes you a considerable favor."

"No." Cheng Elder shook his head, eyes brimming with grateful tears: "I actively wanted to use a jade slip to send a voice transmission, pleading for the Su sect master, but Su Chen directly refused, saying he didn't come for that reason."

He came to find me, just so that at the critical moment, he could help the Cheng family a bit.

That day, he gave me a pill……

Pill?

The Han Yue Sect Leader's heart suddenly rose with a bad premonition.

He moved his lips, just about to ask what pill it was.

Suddenly!

"Boom!" At the teleportation array entrance, a guard wearing Han Yue Sect disciple robes hurriedly knelt and bowed: "Sect Leader, something terrible happened... Two hours ago, the Young Master's meridians ruptured, spiritual aura leaked out... Ultimately, his cultivation was completely lost, the spiritual power accumulated in his body could not be refined, and he exploded and died!"

"Young Master he... Please accept my condolences!"

Boom——
