Chapter 502: Jun Han's Expectations

2024-11-26

As Su Chen thought about all this, he wasn't surprised.

Every place was more or less the same.

The powerful warriors at the top would certainly prevent those below them from growing and threatening their status.

The Jin State used intelligence to control and restrict, which was not as intense as some other methods.

After traveling for more than three days, they arrived at the agreed-upon city.

Su Chen was still cautious as he went to retrieve the letters.

Previously, when the elders of Jade Ming Palace spoke to him, they mentioned that the palace would not openly protect him.

However, they would still provide him with relevant intelligence.

Whether this was true or not, he would find out this time.

The Heaven's Pivot City had been sending him regular replies.

He was quite certain about this.

If he didn't receive a letter from Heaven's Pivot City, it would mean that the sect was in danger.

He carefully checked and indeed found two letters from Jade Ming Palace at the agreed-upon location.

He found a secluded spot to examine them closely.

One letter was older, sent in early April.

The other letter was newer, dated just the day before.

The content of the letters was not written by the elders of Jade Ming Palace.

It was the intelligence agency of Jade Ming Palace that had gathered and sent him these external reports.

The contents were pieced together, listing various items.

Basically, it was a detailed report of major events in the Jin State for Su Chen.

【The tournament between our kingdom and Chu Kingdom has ended, with twelve out of fifteen young disciples losing.】

【The Celestial Monster crisis in the Northern Wilderness has been resolved, and the Celestial Monster group has been eliminated.】

【Multiple defense lines in the northeast have collapsed, allowing many demonic beings to infiltrate. The court has requested over fifty Transcendent Masters to deal with the situation.】

【The initial cooperation between the Crystal Pavilion and the Crystal Pavilion has shown promising results, and their combined strength in refining Jade Essence Pills has significantly improved, but they still lag behind Jade Ming Palace.】

【The Crystal Pavilion and the Crystal Pavilion have jointly issued a condemnation order, accusing Su Xing, the honorary elder of Jade Ming Palace, of stealing their pill refinement techniques.】

【The Pill Exhibition will be held in Xia Yu City in early September this year, and it may trigger a significant event in the pill realm.】

【The Array Master Examination in Pebble City was disrupted by the Celestial Monster crisis, and the Eighth Rank Array Master Examination has been postponed to the end of this month.】

【A talented Array Master has emerged in Pebble City, and a young Array Master has obtained the Sixth Rank Array Master status.】

A series of intelligence reports were written on the two letters.

The content was extensive, covering various aspects of the Jin State.

Of course, the most mentioned topic was still related to the pill realm.

After all, Jade Ming Palace was a pill refining sect, and their focus and greatest efforts were in the pill realm.

Naturally, there was more news related to this.

As he read through the letters, he found that many of the contents were related to him.

It hadn't been long since he obtained the Sixth Rank Array Master status, and he was surprised that the news had already spread.

In the news, they even gave him the title of a talented Array Master.

Apart from this, Su Chen's greatest concern was the condemnation order issued by the Crystal Pavilion and the Crystal Pavilion.

Su Chen had previously heard about the cooperation between the two sects.

Jade Ming Palace's pill refinement techniques had emerged as the best in the realm, and the two sects that relied on Jade Essence Pills were completely outclassed.

In the past, the Crystal Pavilion and the Crystal Pavilion had a less than amicable relationship.

They even fought every year, unable to tolerate each other.

Unexpectedly, with the emergence of Jade Ming Palace, the relationship between the two sects improved significantly.

Having a common enemy brought them together.

However, Su Chen never expected that the two sects would issue a condemnation order against him.

They even accused him of stealing their techniques.

It seemed that in the eyes of these two sects, only they were entitled to possess the Jade Essence Pill refinement techniques.

Any other sect that knew these techniques must have stolen them.

It gave off a sense of being the only legitimate owner.

When Su Chen saw this news, he couldn't help but think deeper.

Was this condemnation just a simple accusation from the Crystal Pavilion and the Crystal Pavilion?

The Jade Essence Pills refined by Jade Ming Palace still had some issues.

The impurities on the surface of the pills were still noticeable, and they couldn't achieve a completely crystal-like appearance.

This was a result of their limited technique proficiency.

Additionally, the variety of Jade Essence Pills refined by Jade Ming Palace was also limited.

The Jade Essence Pill technique made the pills more fragile overall, often making it challenging to successfully refine them.

Compared to other pills, these were naturally more problematic.

Even without using the Jade Essence Pill technique, refining these pills often resulted in failure.

Only top-tier pill refiners could successfully refine them.

For example, pills like Tiger Essence Pill, Star Sea Pill, and Ice Heart Pill were among these challenging ones.

All of these are such pills.

Especially the Star Sea Danwan, the ordinary refinement techniques are difficult to succeed, and it is even more difficult to refine them into Jade Essence Pills.

The Strange Tower and the Crystal Pavilion, these two great sects, are slightly better than the Jade Ming Palace in refining these pills.

The elders of the Jade Ming Palace have not yet mastered the technique of refining Jade Essence Pills.

It seems that the Strange Tower and the Crystal Pavilion are also using this as an excuse to accuse the Jade Ming Palace of stealing their techniques.

And the person who stole it is none other than himself.

No one knows how it was stolen, but it doesn't matter.

Perhaps they just want to believe that he did it, and that's that.

After issuing the reprimand, there may be future orders to investigate and even arrest.

Upon reading the beginning of the letter, Su Chen already had a vague idea of what was to come.

After reading the entire letter, Su Chen decided to stay in the city.

Of course, he didn't stay at the location where he had placed the letter.

Instead, he randomly chose an inn within the city.

Calming down, Su Chen carefully thought about what he should do next.

Sun Xuerong was heading to the Zhou Kingdom with her team, and Su Chen felt a bit uneasy about it.

Although he didn't think she would cause any trouble, he was still worried.

Additionally, Su Chen truly missed his mother and younger sister.

This time, he could take the opportunity to visit them and return to see them.

With this in mind, Su Chen retraced his steps back to the vicinity of Wulan Manor.

Here, he captured two young disciples and interrogated them separately, gathering information about Sun Xuerong from them.

According to the information provided by the two disciples, Sun Xuerong had already led a team to the Zhou Kingdom.

Many young disciples, including Jun Han and several senior disciples of the younger generation, accompanied her on this journey.

This time, the only Transcendent Realm master leading the team from Wulan Manor was Sun Xuerong.

Wulan Manor did not send any other powerful cultivators on this trip.

They were not going to take action against Heaven's Pivot City.

They wanted Heaven's Pivot City to intervene and bring Su Chen back.

This time, they would not allow the elders to take action against Su Chen.

The young generation of Wulan Manor would be the ones to confront Su Chen, challenging him to a fair fight.

As long as Su Chen did not show up, they would remain in Heaven's Pivot City.

On the surface, they would not do anything excessive.

However, causing trouble for an extended period would undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble to Heaven's Pivot City.

Wulan Manor's approach was a bit of a stretch.

They did not threaten or take action against Heaven's Pivot City.

Instead, they went to Heaven's Pivot City to demand an explanation and request that the errant disciple under their command be handed over.

Even after handing him over, they still gave him a chance to make amends.

Su Chen saw their intention at a glance.

To be more direct, this was because they couldn't find his whereabouts, so they couldn't take action against him.

It was a choice made out of helplessness.

It was a relatively fair opportunity for Su Chen to come out.

If there was any other better option, they wouldn't have chosen this method.

Understanding their purpose, Su Chen's heart settled down.

Wulan Manor's intention to have the younger generation challenge him for his life was very clear.

However, what reason did he have to go?

Without sufficient benefits to entice him, there was no point in participating.

Read the error-free novel at 69shu! 6=9+shu_bar first release of this novel.

If he participated, he would be putting his life at risk.

No matter how much Wulan Manor promised not to send powerful cultivators, the reality could be different.

Moreover, there were other forces that wanted to deal with him, such as the Sang Family, led by Sang Moyuan, had a different plan.

If Wulan Manor didn't send anyone, what about the Sang Family? The situation was more complex with various dangers piling up.

To lure him out, Wulan Manor needed to offer some benefits.

Once he had everything figured out, Su Chen no longer hesitated.

He set off on a journey to the Zhou Kingdom, taking it as an opportunity to take a break and return home for a visit.

At the same time, Sun Xuerong's team was already on their way to Heaven's Pivot City.

This trip consisted of nearly fifty people, including over thirty young disciples and more than twenty attendants as guards.

The information Su Chen received was indeed correct; Sun Xuerong was the only Transcendent Realm master among them.

She was well aware that Su Chen would definitely be extremely cautious.

Arranging other Transcendent Realm masters in secret without being discovered was a good thing.

With the slightest hint of a problem, Su Chen would not show up.

Sun Xuerong also prepared other treasures.

voices echoing through the air, creating a colorful spectacle.

This trip was quite a spectacle, but no one could guarantee that Su Chen would show his face.

Why would they choose to confront their enemy head-on when they could have succeeded in their sneak attack? Overall, Sun Xuerong's trip was an attempt, or one could say, a gamble.

Additionally, she had other tasks on this trip.

Wulan Mountain Villa had assigned a mission in Zhou Kingdom, tasking some individuals to search for traces of Su Chen and his family.

This trip was to gather information and deliver some rewards.

Another route hadn't been prepared, and this matter needed to be handled clearly.

Fan Chengyan herself valued this path.

With minimal investment, they could reap greater rewards.

With so many people in Zhou Kingdom, who knows who might have caught a glimpse of Su Chen.

Fan Chengyan was somewhat angry about Su Chen's actions.

For so many years, he was the first to dare to confront her so blatantly.

In Wulan Mountain Villa, there were actually some who didn't approve of Fan Chengyan's approach.

They found her arrogant and domineering, causing friction with many other powers.

But in the past, no one could stop Fan Chengyan's way of doing things.

Her domineering actions often brought her many benefits.

This situation made Fan Chengyan's image in Wulan Mountain Villa increasingly revered.

Especially among the younger generation, many aspired to be like Fan Chengyan.

Multiple factors combined to give Fan Chengyan a high level of prestige in Wulan Mountain Villa.

However, if Su Chen continued to live so leisurely, it would undoubtedly damage her prestige.

Those who provoked her might not necessarily be punished.

Fan Chengyan was domineering, and others could retaliate as well.

Even if the retaliation didn't directly affect Fan Chengyan, her sect would face great trouble.

The prestige brought about by her domineering attitude would disappear here.

It wouldn't just affect Wulan Mountain Villa.

Throughout Jin Kingdom, it would undoubtedly bring her great trouble.

Su Chen was just a young junior from a small country like Zhou Kingdom.

For someone like him to dare to confront Fan Chengyan and leave her without a solution, was it that the people from other Jin Kingdom sects were even worse than Su Chen?

If you lose face, others won't fear you.

They won't hold you in high regard and might have other ideas.

Fan Chengyan's desire to deal with Su Chen now wasn't just about her initial reasons.

It wasn't just to avenge her disciple Sang Moyuan.

This time, Su Chen had attacked Wulan Mountain Villa's disciples and even came to Wulan Mountain Villa's vicinity to do these things.

This was a direct challenge to her, Fan Chengyan.

She had to deal with him.

From Jin Kingdom to Heaven's Pivot City, there was still some distance, at least half a month's journey.

Sun Xuerong led the team back to Zhou Kingdom, stopping in various cities along the way.

This was intentional, spreading the news.

They wanted Su Chen to hear that they were going to Heaven's Pivot City.

The former warrior of Great Zhou was back.

Compared to her disciple Fu Jianyun, Sun Xuerong's state was much better.

She was now an elder of a major sect in Jin Kingdom.

Unconsciously, she had developed some arrogance.

After all, becoming an elder of Wulan Mountain Villa wasn't an easy task.

She had the capital to be arrogant.

With her setting the example, the other members of Wulan Mountain Villa naturally became more arrogant.

The few senior disciples of the younger generation in Wulan Mountain Villa had been frowning since they entered Zhou Kingdom.

It seemed like they were dissatisfied with everything.

The other disciples were similar, dissatisfied with the food and the surrounding environment.

They found everything displeasing.

They didn't hide their actions, and Sun Xuerong didn't remind them, instead finding their disdain normal.

Soon, news of their behavior spread.

Bad news always spreads faster than good news.

The entire team continued their journey towards Heaven's Pivot City, stopping in almost every city along the way for a day or two.

In Zhou Kingdom, many people heard about this and couldn't help but feel angry.

Knowing that they were going to Heaven's Pivot City to cause trouble, they prayed in their hearts.

They prayed for their failure and humiliation.

Jun Han, who had injuries, insisted on coming along.

With his rating lowered and his injuries, there was little he could do in the mountain villa.

He wanted to see for himself.

He hoped Su Chen would come, and if he did, he wanted him to win, to defeat his junior brothers and sisters one by one! Jun Han had been injured by Su Chen's sneak attack.

And he hoped that Su Chen would directly injure his junior brothers and sisters, even damaging their foundations or killing them!
