Chapter 154: The Cage, the Devil Sect, and the Sword Deity Mountain!

Chapter 154: The Cage, the Devil Sect, and the Sword Deity Mountain!

After learning that he had to leave, Su Changqing did not immediately inform his parents.

He stayed an extra day in Greenhill Village, using his strength far surpassing that of mortals to help the villagers with all their land.

Su Chang Qing plowed the fields, removed the weeds, and planted the crops, just as he had learned when he was young.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Su Chang Qing had yet to reach that level, so he could only repay Greenhill Village, which had raised him, in a simple and sincere way.

"Chang Qing's talent can no longer be suppressed. He will eventually realize just how powerful he truly is."

Three days ago, Uncle Fu returned and stood in the sky, looking down at Su Chang Qing who was working the fields, and sighed.

At this point, Su Chang Qing knew he was a genius, but this talent was limited to Xiaoxianzong.

He still did not understand that being called a genius in Xiaoxian Zong meant being incredibly powerful in the outside world.

"Let's do our best."

Hearing this, Su nan smiled lightly, "Xiaoxian Zong is a cage. When he breaks free from it, he will truly soar."

"He is still too weak and needs to build up his strength in Xiaoxian Zong."

"When the day comes that he can no longer be hidden, the Five Domains, Ten Kingdoms, hidden world families, and the Four Seas of the Demon Realm will be open for him to explore."

Initially, Su Nan was afraid that once Su chang qing discovered his talent, his character would change drastically, so he kept suppressing it.

However, after observing for a while, he realized he had underestimated Chang Qing.

Even after jumping from a mortal to a genius, Chang qing remained the same gentle and pure person he had always been.

Thus, the suppression was no longer necessary, and the thing Su Nan worried about the most would not happen.

What remained to be done was to wait for Chang qing to become stronger and gradually expose him to the vast world.

Only then would it truly be a world where the sky is high enough for birds to fly and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap.

"I understand." Uncle Fu nodded upon hearing this.

Weakening other forces was much simpler than suppressing Su Chang Qing.

"Alright, it's time for you to go."

Seeing that Su Chang Qing was ready, Su Nan smiled and turned to leave.

At the village entrance of Greenhill Village.

The Su family gathered at the village entrance to see off Su Chang Qing, who was about to leave.

Su Chang Qing greeted everyone with a smile, then looked at Ye Shu and Su Nan, saying, "Take care, Father and Mother. I will come to see you again after some time."

Ye Shu helped Su Chang Qing smooth out his sleeves, which were already neat, and smiled, "Your father and I will be waiting for you at home."

Su Nan did not speak but nodded and smiled.

Su Chang Qing took a deep breath, looked at the villagers, and waved, smiling, "Everyone, I'm off."

...

Su Chang Qing and his group set off again. Because the journey was long, Old Sun carried everyone, flying them to the Wu family's territory.

This was faster and safer.

However, even so, their movements were detected by the Devil Sect in the shadows.

Deep underground, in the Devil Sect's grand hall.

"Devil Lord, Su Chang Qing has appeared again. Should we intercept and kill them to retrieve the earth tablet?"

Mo Yan, with a pale face and a broken leg, asked in a cold voice.

A recent battle had caused the Devil Sect heavy losses.

Mo Yan, who was at the Sage Realm, was severely injured and barely survived, while Da Sheng Realm's Mo Lin died on the battlefield.

Most importantly, the earth pulse imprint was lost, and a piece of the earth tablet was stolen, resulting in a double loss.

Now that Su Chang Qing had reappeared, Mo Yan could not swallow his anger and wanted to act again.

"The earth tablet must be retrieved, but not now."

The voice of the Devil Lord, shrouded in darkness, was indifferent, "The Su family is not foolish. If they appear in the open, there must be someone protecting them in secret."

"Going to intercept them now would only cost the Devil Sect more lives."

Mo Yan's voice was low and indignant, "Should we just let this go?"

"Lord Mo Lin is dead, and the earth tablet is lost. If we don't act now, there may not be such a good opportunity in the future!"

The grand hall fell silent for a moment, then the sound of slow, steady footsteps echoed from the darkness.

Mingzi arrived at the center of the grand hall and said calmly, "We have confirmed that Su Changqing will definitely go to the Heavenly Demon Pool in a month and a half."

"The earth pulse imprint can be reformed. At that time, I will kill him, retrieve the earth tablet, and then head to the Spirit World to obtain the spirit seeds."

The Devil Lord, upon hearing this, spoke, "Your divided spirit was shattered by a single punch from him. His strength is formidable, so do not be careless."

Mingzi gazed into the distant horizon, his calm voice echoing through the grand hall.

"This time, I will make him taste the feeling of being instantly killed!"

...

No one knew of the Devil Sect's plans.

As Su Changqing made his way to the Wu family's territory, Er Niu, who had left early, returned to the base of Sword Deity Mountain.

At the same time, on Sword Deity Mountain.

"Xiao Sheng! I tell you, I will never marry you in this lifetime!"

"If you dare to cause trouble for Mingyu again, I will never let you off!"

Ling Si, facing the young man with an air of nobility, her face was filled with anger.

She had been preparing for a literary gathering in Zhongzhou that would take place a year and a half later. However, she suddenly received terrible news.

Er Niu had actually fought with the Third Prince of the Feather Sage Kingdom, Xiao Sheng, and lost an arm!

Ling Si lost all interest in her studies and rushed to Sword Deity Mountain, but she did not find Er Niu.

Instead, she encountered the Third Prince Xiao Sheng, whom she despised deeply.

"You won't let me off? How do you plan to not let me off?"

Xiao Sheng's face was filled with a mocking smile as he sized up Ling Si, teasing her, "No wonder you are the princess of Tianyu Kingdom. You have a fine appearance that matches me well."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, you will have to marry me whether you like it or not. Do you think Tianyu Kingdom dares to declare war on my Feather Sage Kingdom?"

As he spoke, a playful expression appeared on his face.

"You don't know yet, but my second brother, Xiao Fan, has already followed the Fang family to the Southern Domain Wu family to study the Great Emperor Killing Formation!"

"Once he completes his study, the Feather Sage Kingdom will have the Great Emperor Killing Formation as its foundation."

"The implications of the Great Emperor Killing Formation in a war between two countries, you wouldn't be unaware of, would you?"

Ling Si's face changed instantly upon hearing this.

It was common knowledge that the Feather Sage Kingdom and the Fang family were in cahoots.

But she never imagined that the Fang family would be willing to share something as powerful as the Great Emperor Killing Formation with the Feather Sage Kingdom.

Nor did she expect that the Southern Domain Wu family would allow the Fang family to study the Great Emperor Killing Formation!

That was a killing formation. If the Feather Sage Kingdom possessed such a powerful weapon, it would be a disaster for Tianyu Kingdom.

At that time, even if her father was unwilling to agree to the marriage, the ministers in the court would force it.

"You—"

Her thoughts racing, Ling Si pointed at Xiao Sheng, unable to speak, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Xiao Sheng laughed triumphantly at the sight.

He took a few steps forward, intending to embrace Ling Si, and said,

"Don't be afraid, little princess. If you serve me well, I can make my father not attack Tianyu Kingdom."

"If you insist on defying me, then the future will bring bloodshed and destruction to Tianyu Kingdom, and you will be the one to blame."

As he spoke, Xiao Sheng approached Ling Si, reaching out to grab her.

"Get lost!"

Ling Si shouted in fury.

But this was Sword Deity Mountain, where all cultivation was suppressed. How could a Confucian scholar like her stand a chance against a sword cultivator?

Moreover, the Sword Deity Mountain disciples present mostly recognized Xiao Sheng and knew of his strength, so none of them would intervene.

For a moment, Xiao Sheng was about to take advantage of Ling Si!

But just as Ling Si's face paled in terror, a strong, bronze-colored arm emerged from behind her, gripping Xiao Sheng's arm firmly.

"Little Ling Si, are you looking for me?"

A carefree laugh sounded from behind her, and Ling Si quickly turned to look.

Seeing the familiar figure and the empty sleeve, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Idiot, why didn't you run away!"
