Chapter 395: Ziwei Xianzi

Ziwei Xianzi couldn't help but grow nervous, her burning gaze fixed upon Su Chen.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and continued, "I know this is very difficult..."

"I promise you, but you also know this matter is very difficult, so it will take a long time; therefore, I hope you can trust me."

Su Chen hesitated for a moment before nodding firmly.

However, whether this matter could be accomplished was ultimately an unknown, and he could not simply agree to Ziwei Xianzi without considering the consequences.

Hearing Su Chen say this, Ziwei Xianzi felt even more at ease.

He was indeed the man she had set her sights on; he didn't boast at all and was seriously considering the feasibility of the matter.

Ziwei Xianzi pursed her lips and then said, "I trust you."

"It is good that you trust me."

Su Chen smiled slightly and gently stroked Ziwei Xianzi's head, "The most urgent task is to improve your own strength; I possess the Flame Sun Sacred Body, so cultivating with me will yield twice the result with half the effort."

Ziwei Xianzi had discovered this long ago, but at the time, her attention had been on other things, so she hadn't paid it much mind.

Now, looking at it this way, she was dazed to realize that her long-stagnant realm was actually showing signs of loosening.

Ziwei Xianzi's face lit up with joy, and the eyes with which she looked at Su Chen carried a hint of fanaticism, as if she were looking at a human-shaped treasure.

Su Chen felt a shiver run through him under her gaze, feeling as though he had been targeted.

——

Su Chen exchanged thoughts on life with Ziwei Xianzi for a good while longer before letting her rest, then went out to find Luo Shen.

"Master, I have finally seen you. We haven't seen a shadow of you for these past few days, and we were all afraid of disturbing you, so we didn't dare to look for you."

Xiaoxian was someone who couldn't keep things to herself; as soon as she saw Su Chen's figure, she ran up to him excitedly.

Su Chen smiled slightly and then said, "There were matters on Ziwei Xianzi's side that needed handling; I am free now, so here I am."

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone immediately understood that Ziwei Xianzi had likely also become one of Su Chen's women.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to be happy about having another sister or to feel jealous that another person was there to share Su Chen's affection.

"How is the post-processing of Ziwei Pavilion going?"

Su Chen curled his lips and fixed his gaze on Luo Shen.

Luo Shen was still a bit jealous that Su Chen had won the beauty, but she ultimately had a sense of the big picture; she pursed her lips twice and then spoke.

"We carefully searched the remaining people of Ziwei Pavilion, ensured that some disciples with clean backgrounds and talent were chosen, and had them swear the Heart Demon Oath to join the Su Family."

After finishing, Luo Shen looked at the dossier in her hand, "The number is not large, only a few dozen people, but their combat power is not high; basically, what they know is the skill of Star-Plucking Divination."

This was within Su Chen's expectations; after all, Ziwei Pavilion was famous throughout the world for its divine calculations, so most of the disciples in the pavilion knew how to cast divinations.

"Now the entire Central Province is under Master's control. The sects with any reputation have almost all been slaughtered by us, and as for the others, they are of no consequence without their backbone."

After Lv Luo finished speaking, her starry eyes looked fixedly at Su Chen, filled with admiration.

Su Chen would not stay here forever; he had already found three of the four envoys of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, and only the last one remained, located in the land of Nanman.

"Sun Taohong, Fufeng, and the Leiyin Clan members—they can be cultivated appropriately."

Luo Shen nodded, having no objections to Su Chen's words. These words spoke directly to Su Chen's heart; after all, during his journey through Central Province, he had also seen the talents of these people.

He had always been a person who rewarded and punished clearly, and he would not target people just because they had previously been in a hostile relationship with him or otherwise.

After all, since ancient times, positions of worth have always been occupied by those capable.

After talking for so long, Yi Zhuyue was not here.

Her friendship with Ziwei Xianzi could not be considered shallow; after all, the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor had countless capable people under him, but there were truly not many women.

Therefore, while in the Immortal World, Yi Zhuyue and Ziwei Xianzi had looked out for each other and helped one another many times.

This time, Yi Zhuyue could not bear to watch Ziwei Xianzi act foolishly and jump into a pit of fire.

She pushed the door open and saw Ziwei Xianzi leaning against the head of the bed, lost in thought, with a look of hatred flashing through her eyes from time to time.

Her heart skipped a beat, fearing that Ziwei Xianzi might be unable to let go and would commit suicide.

Yi Zhuyue took two or three steps to reach Ziwei Xianzi's side, sat down, and said with a look of concern, "Ziwei, it's me; don't be afraid."

Hearing Yi Zhuyue's voice, Ziwei Xianzi's consciousness gradually returned; thinking of her expression just now, she knew without asking that it must have been very strange.

She felt a bit embarrassed and offered a smile as a cover.

In Yi Zhuyue's eyes, this was very forced—a look of someone who had lost the will to live but was still putting on a brave face.

"Actually, Su Chen is the reincarnation of the Dragon Great Emperor. When I was at the Qingyun Alliance before, I also resisted, but after getting along with him later, I discovered that he is truly very capable, and completely different from scum like the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor."

Yi Zhuyue said each word clearly, her gaze filled with firmness.

Ziwei Xianzi listened very carefully; they hadn't been in much contact since arriving here, so she only knew Yi Zhuyue's general location and deeds.

Now, hearing Yi Zhuyue say this, everything seemed to come alive and have vitality.

"I have already seen Su Chen's Divine Dragon Martial Soul; it is indeed the Dragon Great Emperor, but... if that person in Nanman finds out, our days will likely not be easy." Ziwei Xianzi pursed her lips and continued.

"Since we have already chosen to walk this path, we can only find ways to overcome whatever comes next."

Yi Zhuyue pursed her lips and then said, "I trust Su Chen. Since I have followed him, I am willing to place my hope in him."

Central Province is not far from Nanman; after all, Central Province is located in the center, and Ziwei Xianzi naturally knew more about the news from Nanman.

But since Yi Zhuyue had already said so, she found it difficult to say anything else.

"We haven't seen each other for so long, and you still thought of me; I am very happy."

Ziwei Xianzi looked at Yi Zhuyue earnestly.

Yi Zhuyue was taken aback, not expecting Ziwei Xianzi to suddenly say this.

After reacting, she quickly gave a bright smile and then said, "It's okay. Su Chen is truly a person worth trusting, but you haven't had much contact with him, so you haven't discovered it. I still hope you can think it over carefully and not make a mistake."

After all, that was the Dragon Great Emperor.

Even though they had been very important under the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor back in the Immortal World, they hadn't even reached the threshold to see the Dragon Great Emperor, only knowing a little bit from rumors.
