First, I’m sorry—I knew something was off over there, and I was trying to fish, but I didn’t catch the big fish; instead, I fished away one of your eyes.” The young brocade-robed cultivator immediately apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin shook his head directly. “I know exactly how I lost my eye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, seeing you, I should also say I’m sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I went to the forest farm with Su Jian and his siblings. Because Su Yu went to rescue someone, and their side was more dangerous, I abandoned Su Jian, letting him carry his sister and flee alone, while I went to help Su Yu save the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was I who wronged him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huchen listened and shook his head directly. “Su Jian won’t be angry with you. In that situation, as long as he ran fast, it wasn’t dangerous for him—even carrying a child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Su Yu was different. If you hadn’t gone, it would have been him who lost his eye today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You make me feel heartbroken saying that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of you, he was able to rescue the female cultivator named An Qian almost unscathed. An Qian should be grateful to you,” Su Huchen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin: I feel like you’re mocking me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Losing one eye will greatly affect your combat power. Do you have any plans for the future?” Su Huchen added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Hu Zi, just say what you want outright,” Su Hanlin nearly rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Neijian Office needs a group of intelligence analysts. I remember you were exceptionally skilled at this before.” Su Huchen said. “The current batch of intelligence analysts are slacking off—they’re not pulling their weight—so I plan to replace some of them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you must know I once committed a grave mistake and was expelled from the Intelligence Division,” Su Hanlin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was young, he joined the Intelligence Division under the Neijian Office. But years ago, he was purged after committing a grave error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who really made the mistake? Others may not know, but I know. If they stay silent, I’ll stay silent. But if they dare speak up, we’ll settle the score once and for all!” Su Huchen’s eyes blazed with cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin thought for a moment: “Are you sure? If I return to the Intelligence Division, you’ll definitely face criticism for favoritism.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I’m the kind of man who fears trouble? Honestly, I think the Intelligence Division is corrupt—but I don’t know where the rot lies. That’s why I’m sending you back. Of course, you’re not the only one of mine inside the Intelligence Division.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re my openly placed piece.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s up to you whether you dare to do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do it!! The injustice I suffered back then—I’ll risk my life to avenge it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to die!! I need intelligence analysts, not suicide squad leaders!!” Su Huchen smirked. “Just help me catch those bastards in the act.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s another matter—take a look.” Su Huchen moved a round table before Su Hanlin, then carefully unrolled a small package and pulled out a dozen shriveled black tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know what these are? And how did they die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go get me a full set of tools,” Su Hanlin ordered Su Huchen outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huchen sighed and pulled out a brand-new set of detection tools from his storage ring. “They’re yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin put on gloves and special glasses, then began operating the tools to examine the shriveled little tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, he said: “These are mutated blood leeches—and they’ve been absorbed and catalyzed by some kind of evil entity. You could call them a variant of evil entity! Their mother body can remotely control their reproduction and death from a certain distance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When they burrow into a human body, they can consume the brain and manipulate and imitate the person,” Su Huchen added. “And their bodies are already half-ethereal—ordinary armor and armor cannot stop them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw them kill several of my comrades myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only powerful fire-element, metal-element spells or spiritual martial techniques can kill them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huchen continued supplying Su Hanlin with information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then how did these shriveled little bodies come to be?” Su Hanlin asked, exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think? I’m curious too—what killed them? And how did it kill so many at once?” Su Huchen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to my analysis, these little things died nearly simultaneously. Their bodily fluids seem to have been simultaneously consumed—leaving only hollow husks. This mode of death is unusual. Only a few things can cause such an effect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But those few famed entities rarely move near our Xiancheng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the only likely cause of this damage is one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought you’d say you didn’t know,” Su Huchen perked up. “I took these little evils to the Intelligence Division for analysis—they told me since none of those few entities are near Xiancheng, they have no idea what killed them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those people are truly lazy. We have so many witch tribes near Xiancheng, and they won’t even consider that? Hmph.” Su Hanlin sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what killed them?” Su Huchen asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xue Chi Luo.” Su Hanlin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that? What’s Xue Chi Luo? What kind of monster is it?” Su Huchen pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xue Chi Luo isn’t a monster—it’s a symbiotic spirit created by the Wood Witch clan’s Great Witches. An ancient symbiotic spirit.” Su Hanlin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But that’s been extinct for ages,” Su Huchen’s lip twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin stared at him in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The witches still claim their last Great Witch is dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you believe that? Tell me—can you believe it?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1083,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","df6eaa74d4cb5180fdc5f247dc6ae7daa1bea9fa08127a056f18c2c696cd5fde","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-78","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-76",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
