NOVEL WEB Chapter 29: Your Father Is No Longer Here
"Thank you… Huh? Su Zhan, it's you!"
Su Zhaoyue recognized the person who made a move and a look of delight appeared on her little face. "Why did you come to the Azure Mountain Range?"
"I came to find something." Su Zhan smiled.
"To find something…" Su Zhaoyue bit her lip and hesitated, "Are you also here to find the Dry Blue Ice Flame?"
Dry Blue Ice Flame? What is that thing?
Su Zhan had never heard of it, so he immediately shook his head, "I came to find a celestial star fragment as the main material to forge my lifesource weapon."
"Your lifesource weapon… Have you reached the peak of Essence Condensation Realm so quickly?" Su Zhaoyue was somewhat surprised. She hadn't broken through to the Essence Condensation Realm yet, but Su Zhan was already on the verge of reaching the Martial Master Realm. His cultivation speed was abnormal…
Su Zhan nodded, "Yes, the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect had a Spirutal Gathering Formation, and I absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, which allowed me to reach this realm."
"Well, congratulations!" Su Zhaoyue smiled sweetly.
"Do you have any clues about the Dry Blue Ice Flame? If you do, I can help you find it first. After all, I don't have any clues about the celestial star fragment, so it doesn't matter where I search."
"I have been staying in the Azure Mountain Range for several days, and I have already narrowed down the general area." Su Zhaoyue nodded and furrowed her brows slightly, "However, the location of the Dry Blue Ice Flame seems to be within the most powerful family near this mountain range… How to get in is still a big problem! I have come up with a few methods, Su Zhan, can you help me decide which one is better?"
"The first one is to knock out one of the maids who go out for purchases from their family, and I will disguise myself as a maid to get in!"
"The second one is to sneak in at night!"
"The third one is that the young master of that family has a strong desire for beauty, so maybe I can use that to my advantage and get in with his help!"
"The fourth one…"
"Alright, alright!" Su Zhan felt speechless. "Have you ever thought about asking them if they're willing to let you search inside?"
"That… How is that possible? Besides, we would have to come up with a suitable reason for them to let us in, wouldn't we? Otherwise, why would they allow us inside?"
"A suitable reason…" Su Zhan pondered for a moment. "I got it. I know what to say. Take me there, and we will definitely obtain the Dry Blue Ice Flame!"
"Okay, Su Zhan, you truly are my lucky star!" Su Zhaoyue didn't doubt Su Zhan's words and said with a smile.
Su Zhan also smiled and silently thought to himself. What a coincidence, I feel like you're my lucky star too.
…
Three hours later, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Li Family, the largest family in the Azure Mountain Range. The Li Family mansion covered an area of more than ten miles, it was incredibly vast.
The guards at the entrance were all warriors at the Qi Sea Realm.
When they saw Su Zhan and Su Zhaoyue approaching not far away, they became more vigilant.
"Su Zhan, what excuse did you prepare?" As they approached the Li Family's main gate, Su Zhaoyue asked curiously.
"You'll find out soon enough." Su Zhan smiled.
Soon, they reached the front gate and, as expected, were intercepted by the guards.
Su Zhan said, "Please inform your family that there is a treasure hidden in this area of your estate, and we intend to take it. We just need to borrow the place for a while."
Su Zhaoyue, who had been wondering what method Su Zhan had come up with, was dumbfounded. A huge question mark formed in her little head.
Is this Su Zhan's method?
To directly tell them that their family has a hidden treasure and that he wants to take it… Isn't this a bit outrageous???
Su Zhaoyue wasn't the only one confused. The guards were also taken aback.
Having served as guards for many years, they had heard countless excuses and reasons for wanting to enter the Li Family. However, Su Zhan's approach was something they had never encountered before.
Especially when coupled with Su Zhan's calm demeanor and serious expression. He seemed quite confident. They were momentarily unsure how to handle the situation.
"Please wait a moment, young master. I will go and inform them."
Just as the guard was about to turn around and go to report, a well-dressed young man in embroidered clothing walked forward, his gaze scanning over Su Zhaoyue's exquisite face, his eyes lit up.
"Inform? Screw that!" The young man had a wide smile on his face. "Greetings to both of you. I am Li Rulong, the Young Master of the Li Family. I warmly welcome you as guests to our Li Family!"
"Young Master, they've come to our mansion in search of treasures." The guard quickly reminded him.
"Searching for treasures?" Li Rulong laughed heartily. "That's great! Our Li Family has many treasures. You are both welcome to appreciate them!"
Su Zhan and Su Zhaoyue exchanged a glance. They didn't say anything, but they understood each other's thoughts: We're really lucky to have encountered a fool.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Li." Su Zhan smiled and nodded, taking the lead to enter the Li Family.
As they entered the Li Family and had only taken a few steps, the large gate behind them suddenly closed!
"What does this mean?" Su Zhaoyue's expression changed slightly as she questioned.
Li Rulong chuckled and instructed the strong guard next to him, who was at the Martial Master Realm, "Kill the man and knock out the woman."
"Understood!" The guard nodded expressionlessly. It was evident that this wasn't the first time he had done such a thing.
Su Zhan was also somewhat astonished at this moment. He had thought that they would at least wait until they found the treasure before taking action. Now it seemed that he had overestimated Li Rulong. This person was truly foolish.
As the Martial Master realm expert swung his blade, with a ten-meter-long blade radiance and terrifying power, Su Zhaoyue's face changed slightly. She was about to use her life-saving trump card when she saw Su Zhan throw a punch.
After the baptism of Spiritual Rain, his Sun Flame Scripture had reached the small achievement, and with the domineering Sun Flame True qi combined with the Profound rank fist technique, his explosive power was extremely strong.
"Boom!" The space in front suddenly became scorching hot, as the fiery red aura gathered and exploded in an instant!
"Crack!!" The long blade in the hands of the Martial Master warrior shattered. Under the terrifying impact force, the shattered blade fragments flew out and embedded themselves in the ground and pillars.
Meanwhile, the chest of the Martial Master Realm expert caved in! His internal organs instantly shattered under this punch! He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs and collapsed weakly.
One-hit kill!
A single punch to kill!
Su Zhan looked at his own fist and didn't know whether it was because the power of the Flame Bursting Fist was too strong or because this person was too weak.
Li Rulong was stunned for a moment, then felt overwhelming fear. Sensing Su Zhan's gaze also on him, he immediately shouted, "You, you can't kill me! I am Li Rulong, the Young Master of the Li Family. My father is a strong expert in the later stage Martia Master Realm. If you dare to kill me, you will undoubtedly have no place to bury yourself!"
Just as Li Rulong finished speaking, a majestic voice resounded, "Who dares to act recklessly in my Li Family! Are you tired of living?!"
A tall middle-aged man appeared, his gaze sweeping over the body of the dead guard and landing on Su Zhan, his face incredibly gloomy.
"Father! These people intruded into our Li Family and killed the guard! They even tried to kill me. If you had come a little later, your son would probably be dead!" Li Rulong pointed at Su Zhan with resentment, feeling relieved upon seeing the middle-aged man's arrival, as if he had grasped a lifeline.
"Daring to offend my Li Family, today, no matter who you are, you will all leave a lasting memory!" The middle-aged man had no intention of wasting words with Su Zhan. The lifesource weapon nurtured in his dantian flew out of his body, transforming into a golden longsword, slashing towards Su Zhan!
"The power of a lifesource seems weaker than I imagined." Seeing the dazzling sword energy coming down, Su Zhan also swung his sword.
Li Rulong sneered disdainfully, "You think you can oppose my father with your measly strength? Seeking death! My father is a strong expert in the later stage of the Martial Master Realm. In the Azure Mountain Range, he is an absolute powerhouse. What are you? How dare you trespass into our Li Family? Hehe! After you die, I will enjoy torturing your woman to death! With my father here, the two of you are nothing but—"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Rulong couldn't continue.
In front of him, Su Zhan withdrew the sword from the middle-aged man's chest and looked at Li Rulong, who was still in a bewildered state, saying, "Well, now your father is no longer here."
