Chapter 48: The Fate-Changing Son-in-Law (Part 10)

Su Chen extended a single finger.
Mountains and rivers
All were contained within that finger.
Heaven and earth became his prison.
Even if the purple-robed youth exerted all his strength,
it was all in vain under that one finger.
All was dim and lifeless.
"Stop! My young master is the son of the King of Zhen Dong!"
An old man angrily intervened, trying to save the purple-robed youth.
"The King of Zhen Dong? What is that?"
"My young master is the personal disciple of the Emperor of Zhenyu of the Xuan Yuan Holy Land!"
"Don't even mention a King of Zhen Dong you've never heard of. Even if the ruler of your Great Yan Dynasty were here, he would have to treat your young master with utmost respect!"
Hearing the words of Su Chen's guards, the old man was terrified, and then he too was suppressed.
Su Chen waved his hand, not killing them.
"Spare their lives."
"Three years later, let my sworn brother settle this score himself."
The purple-robed youth struggled to his feet, but upon hearing this, he was consumed by rage and fainted.
The Purple-Robed Marquis, Su Chen wanted Fang Bubai to deal with him personally.
This was his whetstone.
Fang Bubai showed gratitude.
A murmur rippled through the crowd.
That mysterious youth
was actually a personal disciple of a king from the Xuan Yuan Holy Land.
Xia Yingyue remembered Su Chen's words:
"When I achieve fame and success, I will surely return."
A disciple of the Holy Land
A true disciple of a king
Such an identity
shines like the sun
Making her feel ashamed.
Su Chen walked step by step to Xia Yingyue's side.
Under everyone's gaze,
he said softly, "I'm back."
Xia Yingyue burst into tears of joy.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I'm here too!"
"I missed you too!"
Xia Chenfeng was incredibly excited.
His brother-in-law
was a disciple of the Holy Land
a true successor of the Emperor!
Su Chen ignored Xia Chenfeng.
The members of the Shuiyun Sect were stunned to see that Su Chen actually knew Xia Yingyue.
They were speechless with shock.
The sect leader of the Shuiyun Sect smiled obsequiously.
Wang Shuang watched his goddess cuddling with another man.
His eyes almost spit fire.
His fists clenched tightly.
His teeth clenched,
making a grinding sound.
Successfully attracting Su Chen's attention.
Su Chen thought for a moment.
A familiar name appeared in his mind.
The son of the city lord of Qinghe City.
Wang Shuang.
Like Xia Yingyue, he had joined the Shuiyun Sect.
Four years ago, he tried to kill Su Chen, but failed.
Facing Wang Shuang's hatred, Su Chen glanced at him indifferently.
Just one glance.
Wang Shuang fully regained consciousness, his fiery eyes filled with terror, as if he had witnessed the most horrific scene in the world.
Then... he went mad.
The Shuiyun Sect dared not be angry, dared not speak.
The Secret Realm Opens
A secret realm left behind by a fallen emperor greatly intrigued Su Chen.
His strength was only average in the Xuan Yuan Holy Land.
But in the Great Yan Dynasty.
Among the younger generation, he was unmatched.
Even if a ninth-level Spirit Soul cultivator attacked, Su Chen had the means to kill him.
Entering the Secret Realm
Here, mountains and rivers flowed, like a small world.
Some creatures even arose.
Forming their own races, possessing unique abilities.
Su Chen's desire for realms above the Profound Realm grew even stronger.
After death, the power within the body transformed into a secret realm, blood into rivers, teeth, bones, and bone marrow into various precious mineral veins, and skin and hair into towering trees.
Giving birth to new life.
Such power is beyond imagination.
The creatures born within the secret realm were powerless against the invasion.
Their cultivation methods were nothing more than outdated and obsolete bloodline inheritances.
A meager inheritance.
How could it compare to the accumulated wisdom of countless people outside, accumulated over years?
Seeing a race plundered and exterminated,
Su Chen felt no emotion.
On the priest, he found the crystallization left behind by a former emperor, obtaining an inheritance called the Xuan Yong Sword Scripture, a low-grade royal-level technique.
He even found several fist-sized low-grade spirit crystals.
This overjoyed Su Chen.
The others also reaped considerable rewards within the secret realm.
Especially Fang Bubai.
Grandpa Fang Bubai, his soul exhausted, fell into a deep sleep.
Just then, Fang Bubai found a Star Spirit Grass, which healed his soul.
"If another hundred years pass, perhaps this secret realm will collapse with the passage of time."
Some were relieved.
Outside the secret realm
The Great Yan Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty did not come.
Eunuch Huang, who was beside the Great Yan Emperor, appeared.
Facing Su Chen with a respectful, ingratiating smile, the eunuch said,
"His Majesty, having heard of your arrival, has prepared a banquet."
"Does Your Majesty have the time?"
Even the ruler of a dynasty must be cautious when facing a disciple of a holy land.
His attitude was humble.
Of course, Su Chen knew this.
This was mainly due to the Prison Suppressor Emperor standing behind him.
A powerful expert at the ninth level of the Void Transformation Realm.
Only one step away from the Nirvana Realm.
The Great Yan Dynasty's resources could only support a maximum of the third or fourth level of the Void Transformation Realm.
Su Chen nodded: "Please inform the Emperor that I will attend the appointment."
The ruler of the Great Yan Dynasty wanted to befriend him.
Su Chen naturally wouldn't refuse.
Upon receiving Su Chen's message, Eunuch Huang smiled and left satisfied.
Su Chen needed to make arrangements for the Xia family.
He returned to the Xia family.
The Xia family has undergone significant changes.
Xia Hongcai obtained the cultivation technique left behind by Su Chen, but kept it a secret and cultivated it alone, breaking through to new realms one after another.
He was already the strongest person in Qinghe City.
Half-step Spirit Soul Realm
The Xia family leaped to become the number one family in Qinghe City.
"Chen'er is back!"
Xia Hongcai was overjoyed.
Upon seeing Su Chen again,
his eyes glistened with tears.
Xia Chenfeng was puzzled.
He was the biological son, after all!
However, Old Xia clearly ignored this biological son.
Upon seeing Xia Hongcai again,
Su Chen respectfully bowed.
In this life, although his biological father had died early in the beast tide,
he wasn't without a father.
Xia Hongcai was his father in this life.
He asked himself honestly,
even he
couldn't have done this.
To treat an outsider as his own child,
for over a decade without fail.
When Xia Hongcai learned that Su Chen had joined the Xuan Yuan Holy Land, he was even more gratified.
The Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty learned of Su Chen's true identity.
When Su Chen arrived in the capital,
a message arrived.
Twenty years ago, the Demon King who unleashed the demon tide was being annihilated by the Great Yan Dynasty's army.
Su Chen understood.
That Demon King was the culprit responsible for the deaths of his parents in this life.
Now, he had finally been defeated.
Countless people who had lost everything due to the demon tide,
wept with joy upon hearing this news.
Inside the Great Yan Imperial Palace,
Su Chen was surrounded by admirers,
a veritable swarm of stars.
Venerable figures of great power and influence surrounded Su Chen.
Su Chen remained utterly calm.
He was used to such scenes.
But in the eyes of those powerful and influential people,
this was a saintly genius, unperturbed by praise or criticism.
Truly worthy of being a disciple of the Holy Land.
His demeanor was simply extraordinary!
Getting to the point,
the majestic Flame Emperor forced a smile,
"This is my youngest daughter, Yan Qimeng. She has always admired heroes, especially talents like yourself from the Holy Land."
The exquisitely beautiful woman spoke softly and sweetly, "This humble girl has long admired you, sir, and wishes to follow you and stay by your side."
Su Chen: "......."
Nonsense!
Would he, Su Chen, be that kind of person?
