Chapter 84: One Billion

Received your jade slip sound transmission saying, the cultivators' spirit stones are all being used to maintain the Spirit Gathering Array's operation, and there is still not a large amount of cultivation resources; in Heaven's Origin City I dare not relax for a moment, bringing spirit stones and other cultivation resources I have come.

If it weren't for little brother comforting us all along the way, I would really be afraid; what if something happened to Father… Wu wu, Father, I'll get you a piece of spirit armor.

Su Lingxue wiped the tears from her face and immediately handed a spirit treasure to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng affectionately touched the black hair of his second sister, Su Lingxue.

He grasped the spirit armor and immediately discovered the mystery; inside was actually engraved a miniature Spirit Gathering Array!

At this moment, holding the spirit treasure that does not restrict freedom and minimizes spirit stone consumption, his heart was deeply moved.

In Cloud Sea City, not having received news of Su Chen's return, Su Changfeng was almost dying of anxiety, fearing that Su Chen might encounter an accident or be betrayed.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Good, good, good, don't cry, look, Dad isn't fine?

It's you guys, you've worked hard this way.

Chen'er." Su Changfeng's eye sockets slightly red, gazing at his son who is half a head taller than him, his lips trembled wanting to say something, but ultimately it turned into: "Safety is good, safety is good."

No wonder he is the offspring of Su Changfeng.

Indeed, extraordinary.

Not only could he escape from the hands of Ye Xuan, who has the Star Pavilion and the Great Yu Dynasty as his backing, but he could also rush to Cloud Sea City in time.

Just as he took out a spirit stone from his storage ring, he additionally took out another item, and instantly a strong bloody smell emanated in the air.

Chen'er, what is this, what is this?

Su Chen showed a faint smile.

He then threw the shroud together onto the ground.

Beside them, an elder hurried forward to look; after a glance, his face turned horrified, then overjoyed, wearing a smile of retribution: "Hahaha, serves him right! Ye Han, you dog!"

Sect Master, it's Ye Han!

This dog, not only serving as Ye Xuan's lackey but also destroying the Spirit Gathering Array and the Spatial Transmission Array, unexpectedly died at the hands of the Young Sect Master—truly satisfying!

Laughing loudly, he suddenly noticed something wrong with the Grand Elder; his slow-witted reaction kicked in, and he looked at Su Chen with an expression of astonishment and disbelief.

Some people had swept past Su Chen's back.

This is only twelve people??

Completely wrong!

"Young Sect Master, how many disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Dao Sect did you bring to Cloud Sea City this time?" The Grand Elder counted repeatedly, at least three times, but detected no other cultivators' aura.

The cultivators who had originally been happy also came to their senses.

They hurriedly scanned Su Chen and the aura within a hundred-li radius behind him.

Besides Su Changfeng, all the elder disciples believed that Su Chen, as someone, must have a Grand Elder of the Heavenly Mystery Dao Sect acting as a Protector of the Dao.

Or perhaps it was the grave keeper of the Heavenly Mystery Dao Sect who took action.

Otherwise, wanting to slay Ye Han, such a powerful individual on the verge of becoming a Martial Sovereign, is fundamentally impossible.

However,

In response to them,

but it was a single sentence, light wind and calm clouds, yet capable of stirring up huge waves: "Adding my second sister, this journey totals twelve people."

There is no one else.

As these words fell, the panting Sect Master Liu flashed into view and began to shout: "Our sect still has."

This damned beast tide, if not for the many thunderfire talismans we brought, we probably wouldn't have survived to here.

Sect Master Su, your son truly does not cherish old feelings; I even married my only precious daughter to him, yet along the way he merely said a few more words, complained I talked too much, and abandoned me.

Upon saying this.

Everyone froze on the spot.

Sect Master Liu has come as well?

A group of over ten people, with uneven cultivation, not only escaped from Ye Xuan's hands but actually managed to break through the beast tide.

No, the most shocking thing is Ye Han's head—who exactly killed him?

What on earth is going on with all this?

They carefully sensed everything; aside from these people, there truly was no Protector of the Dao.

The Grand Elder, while dazed, still found it hard to believe, and addressed the air: "Elder Mu, did you secretly intervene? Please show yourself."

By the way, spirit stones—do we have enough brought?

The Sect Master said, as long as you return to Cloud Sea City, all problems here can be solved.

If there are no spirit stones now to maintain the Spirit Gathering Array's operation, at most tonight the residual spiritual energy inside will be completely depleted.

The words 'spirit stone' fell.

Those cultivators who were originally filled with despair, on the verge of bursting from accumulated spiritual energy in their bodies, suddenly all opened their eyes, a glimmer of light rising in their gaze.

One by one, they began to lift their eyes.

One by one, they grew nervous to the point of sweating palms.

This is a matter of life and death.

Their gazes converged, landing on Su Chen; they all looked at Su Chen, at this person who failed to leave a good impression, whose name of decadence and prodigality had spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland, the Young Sect Master Su.

Little brother, several hundred million spirit stones…" Second Sister Su Lingxue also anxiously looked at Su Chen.

Heh." Su Chen curled the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.

He stood at the foremost position.

Looking at the cultivators tormented by spirit explosions, lacking gentle spiritual energy to alleviate and neutralize the blocked blood in their meridians.

Word by word, pausing.

Generous and impassioned, inspiring hearts: "On this journey I carry ten billion spirit stones, tens of thousands of spiritual treasures, and over ten thousand elixirs. From the moment I, Su Chen, arrive in Cloud Sea City, I will not allow the cultivators who follow me of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect to suffer any exploitation."

At the moment his words fell.

The Grand Elder felt only a buzzing in his head, his mind going blank as if crashed.

He was so excited that the muscles in his face began to tremble.

His eye sockets reddened slightly.

His gaze swept over Su Changfeng, whose eyes shone with pride.

Thud.

He knelt in the snow toward where Su Changfeng stood, his voice still filled with self-reproach and guilt: "Sect Master! The cultivators of Cloud Sea City are saved! How wonderful! It is still your keen insight."

"It's my old, dim eyes that fail to recognize a true dragon."

"It seems those rumors cannot be taken as true."

"I apologize for my attitude toward you these past two days; as long as the cultivators of Cloud Sea City survive, and the disciples of my Profound Heaven Dao Sect survive, I will accept any punishment."

"Sect Master, we too have offended and collided with you earlier; it is our ignorance! Feel free to punish us!"

All the elders' faces flushed red, thinking of the words they had spoken to Su Changfeng these past two days, ashamed to the point of having nowhere to hide.

They apologized to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng merely placed his hand on the shoulders of a few people, saying nothing more.

All the disciples were greatly shaken in heart and spirit, loudly shouting in excitement.

Even some cultivators, moved to tears by the chance to see their loved ones again and avoid senseless death, exclaimed: "Haha! I knew the sect master would never abandon us…"

"I have always believed in the sect master, believed in the young sect master, and have been waiting for this moment."

"Father, mother, the disciples of Cloud Sea City have seen hope."

Sect Master Liu found the scene before him rather puzzling.

He frowned, looking at the black dog beside him, also frowning, and lowered his voice: "How can a storage bag of just a few cubic feet hold ten billion spirit stones? Perhaps there is still a powerful cultivator behind this?"
