237: Chapter 230: Cold, So Cold 237: Chapter 230: Cold, So Cold “Indeed there is!” Qiao Hun also spoke up.
Sun Yingyu, Bu Teng, and Qiao Yuan nodded in succession.
“The sound, rhythmic, and—it’s getting closer to us, coming from below!” Sun Yingyu thought for a mont and pointed towards the Ten Thousand Zhang Precipice in front of them and below.
“Could it be that Su Chen really succeeded in the rescue, and neither he nor Gu Yuan are dead?” Qiao Hun said in a deep voice, a hint of anticipation in his tone.
“Heh…
dreaming?!!!
Do you think that kid is a Demon God?
He’s just trash at the Early Stage of the Mysterious Qi Inner Strength Realm!” Bu Teng scoffed.
Everyone else fell silent again.
What Bu Teng said was harsh, but it was the truth.
The Early Stage of Mysterious Qi Inner Strength Realm was indeed too weak…
Another hundred breaths passed.
“The sound is getting louder!” Sun Yingyu said gravely, her eyes fixed unblinkingly ahead, burning with intensity.
anwhile, Bu Shoufan and others were circulating their Mysterious Qi and clutching their weapons, ready for combat at any mont.
And so, ti ticked away, second by second.
No one knew how much ti had passed.
Suddenly!
“What?
Is it really…
really…
really him and Miss Gu Yuan?” Qiao Yuan suddenly exclaid.
He stood at the edge of the cave entrance, craning his neck to peer down intently, his gaze fixed.
At Qiao Yuan’s exclamation,
Sun Yingyu, Bu Shoufan, Bu Teng, and Qiao Hun quickly stepped forward to the cave entrance, peering down over the edge.
They hadn’t expected to see anything, but with this one glance,
they truly saw.
Su Chen was carrying Gu Yuan on his back and was slowly making his way up towards them!!!
“It’s like seeing a ghost…
really seeing a ghost…” Bu Shoufan took a deep breath, his complexion fluctuating, unable to express joy or anger, only feeling as if his soul might separate from his body, truly startled.
Too strange.
Sothing utterly unthinkable was happening.
“Damn it!
How can this be?” Bu Teng cursed, clearly displeased.
“What did you say?” Sun Yingyu imdiately turned towards Bu Teng, her gaze unfriendly, as if to say that Bu Teng seed to wish for the young lady’s death.
“No…
I just think there must be sothing tricky about this!” Bu Teng said gravely: “A kid at the Mysterious Qi Internal Strength Early Stage!!!
It’s impossible for him to do this!
There are only two possibilities, first, this kid is hiding his strength, and he actually possesses strength beyond the Mysterious Qi Grandmaster Realm.
Second, this kid has a Supre Treasure!”
After Bu Teng finished speaking,
Sun Yingyu, Bu Shoufan, and Qiao Yuan all fell silent!
In truth, they didn’t need Bu Teng to say it; they were pretty much of the sa opinion.
Moreover, it was quite obvious that the first possibility was nearly zero, after all, no one in Taixuan Mountain surpassed the Mysterious Qi Grandmaster Realm, at least not openly.
To take a step back, even if there were such a person, it wouldn’t be Su Chen.
Su Chen was only in his twenties, far too young.
Furthermore, hiding their strength?
Whether he was concealing his strength or not, they could feel that Su Chen was indeed at the Early Stage of the Mysterious Qi Inner Strength Realm, with no hint of concealnt.
Could it be?
Did this youngster nad Su Chen truly possess a treasure?
“What does it matter if he has a treasure?
It’s his, not ours.
Bu Teng, are you thinking of seizing it?” Qiao Hun frowned, a look of discomfort spreading across his rugged face.
He would never do such a thing.
“And what’s wrong with seizing it?
Think about the value of Du Xuan Peak.
There are over a thousand cave ruins on the entire peak, of which at least a third have not been explored, and this unexplored third is all located at the higher reaches of the peak.”
“The higher the location on Du Xuan Peak, the greater the likelihood of valuable items being found in the cave ruins.
Overall, the value of Du Xuan Peak is imnse!!!”
“As mbers of Hidden Families, what is our families’ attitude towards Taixuan Mountain?
I needn’t say it; everyone knows that we look down upon it.
The most powerful family in Taixuan Mountain is nothing compared to any of the Hidden Families.”
“Yet, even if our families look down upon Taixuan Mountain, they have always been very interested in, shown great respect for, and coveted two things about it!”
Bu Teng spoke slowly.
“Du Xuan Peak and Taixuan Academy?” Bu Shoufan offered.
“Right, those two, never mind Taixuan Academy for now.
Let’s talk about Du Xuan Peak.
Our families attach great importance to Du Xuan Peak, as is well known to all.
If we get our hands on this treasure from this youngster nad Su Chen, Du Xuan Peak might as well be ours.
If our three families join forces to explore, it won’t take long to obtain a large amount of Martial Cultivation Resources and so on, and if we’re lucky, our three families might surpass the Wenren Family in the near future!” Bu Teng continued.
Now,
Everyone fell silent.
Including Sun Yingyu!!!
“What are we hesitating for?” After a few breaths of silence, Bu Teng grew impatient: “Opportunities like this don’t always co around…”
“How can we be sure that this kid has a treasure that allows him to freely climb Du Xuan Peak?” Qiao Yuan asked quietly, “What if there isn’t one…”
“There’s a thousand percent chance he has one.
Otherwise, how could a kid at the Mysterious Qi Inner Strength Early Stage climb Du Xuan Peak as if walking on flat ground so effortlessly?
Even leaping off a precipice and still being able to save soone?
Tell , could any of the young elders or Old Monsters from our Three Great Hidden Families do that?
Don’t tell , that kid is a god!” Bu Teng snorted disdainfully: “That kid is just trash at the Mysterious Qi Inner Strength Early Stage, sothing even I could easily crush!
If not relying on a treasure, what is he relying on?”
Qiao Yuan nodded.
Bu Shoufan also nodded.
Sun Yingyu hesitated for a mont, but in the end, she nodded.
She had to admit, what Bu Teng said made sense, and it was very tempting.
But Su Chen had saved Gu Yuan after all!
Turning around and then killing and looting
just didn’t feel right…
“Bu Teng, they haven’t provoked us, and they even saved Gu Yuan, just because he has treasures, then we want to…” Qiao Hun shook his head: “I won’t agree!”
As he spoke, Qiao Hun looked towards Qiao Yuan.
However, Qiao Yuan did not et Qiao Hun’s gaze, but instead said in a deep voice, “Indeed, it’s not very kind, but in the Martial Arts World and among the Hidden Families, it is cruel!
The strong are revered!
The weak deserve to die!
Especially since he possesses a treasure he shouldn’t have!”
“Once we succeed…
our Three Great Families will experience a crazy developnt over the next ten or twenty years!” Bu Shoufan spoke viciously, his voice filled with cruelty and murderous intent.
“Then I can only apologize to him!” Sun Yingyu thought for a mont, then said as well.
The last person who should be scheming was her, after all, Su Chen had saved Gu Yuan, which was tantamount to saving her as well.
However, in the face of absolute interests, repaying kindness with malice isn’t considered much of anything.
Everything, for the family.
Qiao Yuan, Sun Yingyu, Bu Shoufan, and Bu Teng all made their decision, so they looked towards Qiao Hun again.
“I won’t take part in this!” Qiao Hun still shook his head: “Whatever you want to do, I can’t stop you, but I won’t be a part of it!”
“If you don’t want to take part, then don’t.
With Senior Qiao Yuan here, that’s enough!” Bu Teng huffed.
Afterward, he greedily glanced towards the bottom of the cliff.
“Almost there!
Less than a hundred ters left!” Bu Teng swallowed, “What a good treasure!
Even when carrying a person, the speed is still so fast…”
His eyes were practically shining with greed.
Ti passed by.
Very quickly.
Su Chen, carrying Gu Yuan on his back, had arrived at the entrance of the Spiritual Source Cave.
Bu Shoufan and the others were all staring intensely at Su Chen and Gu Yuan.
“Miss, are you okay?” Sun Yingyu asked with concern.
“No…
No problems…” Gu Yuan shook her head, but there was much more distance now, she didn’t bla Sun Yingyu for not jumping down to save her when she was in trouble, after all, jumping down ant death, and it was normal for Sun Yingyu not to jump, but sotis, what she feared was comparison.
What about when compared to Su Chen?
At least, if Sun Yingyu and Su Chen were the two people who absolutely had to save her, it would definitely have been Sun Yingyu for sure.
“Gu Yuan, I’m glad you’re okay, I was worried to death…” Bu Teng said with burning eyes, his voice filled with relief, “If sothing happened to you, I would never have been at peace in my entire life!”
Gu Yuan nodded, saying nothing to Bu Teng.
Bu Teng’s words sounded nice, but Gu Yuan was no fool, she knew all too well whether Bu Teng truly cared about her.
All Bu Teng coveted was her beauty and status.
Furthermore, the fact that Bu Teng was alive was also partly due to her, if she had gone up the rope first at that ti, Bu Teng would have encountered the Du Xuan Wind storm…
“Gu Yuan, I owe you a favor!” The next second, Qiao Hun spoke up, naturally, he had thought of what Gu Yuan did.
Gu Yuan humd in acknowledgnt.
The next second, Gu Yuan looked towards Su Chen, her pretty face hidden under the veil, now blushing with shyness and gratitude, “Thank you!”
“We owe nothing to each other!” Su Chen gave only these four words, aning that since Gu Yuan had reminded him at the foot of the mountain, he in turn saved a life.
That was all.
As he spoke.
Su Chen was about to walk into the depths of the Spiritual Source Cave.
Underneath her veil, Gu Yuan’s face paled a bit.
“Does he hate that much?” Gu Yuan asked herself, “If he hates so much, why did he save ?”
For a mont, Gu Yuan was stunned in place, her heart in complete disarray.
Just at that second.
“Heh heh…
Kid, what’s the rush?
You should have a treasure, right?” Bu Teng finally couldn’t wait any longer, he chuckled, eyeing Su Chen who was about to enter the Spiritual Source Cave, and said.
Su Chen’s body ca to an abrupt halt.
“It seems I’m right!” Bu Teng’s smile beca greedier and more eager.
“Bu Teng!
What are you doing?” Su Chen didn’t speak, it was Gu Yuan who was first taken aback, then directly called out, her pretty face underneath the veil turning even paler, almost completely drained of color.
And after she rebuked Bu Teng, she imdiately looked towards Sun Yingyu.
Sun Yingyu, however, couldn’t bring herself to et her gaze.
In an instant, Gu Yuan’s heart turned cold, bitterly cold!
For the first ti, she truly understood what the evil of human nature ant.
Without hesitation, she moved directly towards Su Chen, “Whoever dares to touch him will have to step over my dead body!”
Gu Yuan’s threat did not have an effect.
At least, Bu Teng, Bu Shoufan, and Qiao Yuan didn’t care at all, they rely glanced at Sun Yingyu with a clear look that said, it’s your miss, you handle her, we’ll take care of the rest.
Sun Yingyu subtly nodded, then spoke, “Miss, sotis, people can’t be too kind, for the sake of the family…”
“Shut up!
You disgust !” Gu Yuan was thoroughly enraged, even her beautiful eyes under the veil reddened, in that mont, she even despised herself, despising that she was a mber of the Gu Family, despising that she had always had a good relationship with Sun Yingyu.
“You want my treasure?” Also in that second, the always calm Su Chen laughed, his smile bright, he stared at Bu Teng and seriously said, “Indeed, I have a great treasure!
Do you want it?”
