“You still have to keep pushing yourself.
This world is vast, and there are many strong beings beyond the limits of your imagination.
Take the Spirit Guardian from earlier, for instance.
While you were unconscious, rging with the Purple Copper Coffin, it already left.
Moreover, I clearly sensed that it has left the Divine Martial Continent and gone to the Myriad Realms.”
Su Chen nodded solemnly.
Even without Jiuyou ntioning it, he knew he had to work hard.
The more powerful he beca, the more he felt his own insignificance.
The stronger his strength grew, the greater his pressure beca, especially now.
His stress was several tis greater than before because the Earth Fire Spirit was in his Divine Mansion!
If things went wrong, it could erupt any day!
It was a threat to his life.
If he did not beco strong, stronger, and then even stronger, he could very well die one day.
“Alright, up you go!” Jiuyou said with a teasing smile.
“Your current location is about two hundred kiloters away from the surface of the Burning Heaven Mountain Range!”
The corners of Su Chen’s mouth twitched, and he broke into a cold sweat.
That distance was quite sothing to cover.
Especially with gravity doubled.
One day later.
At last.
Su Chen had exerted the strength of nine oxen and two tigers.
But he had made it to the top.
“The Earth Fire Vein matter is taken care of to perfection.
It’s ti to go to Holy Spirit City!” Su Chen murmured to himself.
“Ling Long, wait for !!!”
—————
Holy Spirit City.
Lan Family.
Inside the main hall.
All the high-ranking mbers of the Lan Family were present.
Like Lan Xiangnan, the head of the Lan Family and Lan Su’s grandfather, the Great Elder Lan Wutong, Second Elder Lan Tianyang, Chief Steward Lan He, the Great Emissary Xuu Wen, and Chief Instructor Gao Yichuan, among others.
They were all seated separately.
Their gazes were all directed towards the center of the hall.
In the center stood two young won.
Ling Long and Lan Su.
“Ling Long, you’ve just recovered from a serious illness, and I shouldn’t be disturbing you, but there are so matters I need to discuss with you,” Lan Xiangnan began.
“Elder Lan, please speak,” Ling Long said, slightly bowing.
“You must have already heard from Su’er about Xing Nie taking an interest in you,” Lan Xiangnan got straight to the point.
“I’ve called you over to discuss this matter of Xing Nie in detail with you.”
“Grandfather…” Lan Su beca anxious.
Her grandfather was actually saying that he called Ling Long over to elaborate on Xing Nie, not to ask if Ling Long was willing to marry Xing Nie.
This implied that the Lan Family, including her grandfather, had already decided to marry off Sister Ling Long to Xing Nie, without giving her a choice.
“Su’er, stand aside and hold your tongue.
Letting you in was already an exception!” Lan Xiangnan frowned and scolded her.
Previously, it was Lan Su who had insisted on accompanying Ling Long.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been allowed to co.
The next second.
Great Elder Lan Wutong gave Ling Long a deep look and suddenly spoke up, “Regarding Xing Nie, let tell you about him.
Ling Long, you’re very lucky!
Xing Nie is one of the most outstanding young n in Holy Spirit City, and to think, he has taken a liking to you.
It’s your honor!”
“Great Elder, you…” Lan Su beca furious.
What did he an by Sister Ling Long’s honor?
Her face flushed with anger, but she had barely spoken when Lan Xiangnan scolded her, “Su’er, keep quiet!!!
Speak out of turn again, and you’ll be sent out!”
Lan Su bit her lip and remained silent.
Great Elder Lan Wutong continued, “Ling Long, Lan Su must have given you a brief introduction to Xing Nie, but there’s a lot she doesn’t know about him.
First off, Xing Nie’s mother cos from a First-Rank Sect!!!”
At this, Lan Su trembled and turned even paler.
Lan Wutong went on, “Second, Xing Nie once received the War God inheritance from Tianng six years ago.
Therefore, in these six years, he has made rapid progress.
In the future, his martial arts cultivation will advance even faster, and his strength will grow even stronger!”
“Third, Xing Nie is one of the three chosen candidates for the Imperial Son-in-Law selected by the Xuanfeng Imperial Family.
Marrying him might not make you the first wife, but you could beco the top-ranked concubine, which is a supre honor for you!”
“Fourth, Xing Nie has made a breakthrough again just a few days ago and has risen to the Seventh Level of the Divine Power Realm, qualifying him for the Azure Dragon Army of the Xuanfeng Dynasty.
By next year at the latest, he will be a mber of the Azure Dragon Army!”
……
After Lan Wutong finished.
Ling Long was still calm, her emotions stable.
But Lan Su had already turned pale!
She knew Xing Nie was excellent, terrifying, and had a background.
But who would have thought…
Her mother from a First-Rank Sect?
She herself had received War God inheritance?
One of the candidates for Imperial Son-in-Law?
About to beco a mber of the Azure Dragon Army?
This…
Was too terrifying!!!
A future that would shake the world.
An unending rise to fa.
Unstoppable.
This was a future supergiant in the making!
Even if Lan Su wanted to deny Xing Nie, the capital he could present was enough to crush everyone, each aspect sothing tens of thousands of Martial Cultivators could not touch in their entire lives.
“Overall, Xing Nie is very outstanding, and in the future, he might even step beyond the Xuanfeng Dynasty.
Ling Long, marrying him will definitely not humiliate you,” Lan Wutong said indifferently, “You should feel happy, excited, thrilled…
Originally, you wouldn’t have had such an opportunity.
But, you are fortunate, you have been chosen by Xing Nie.”
“Great Elder, Ling Long already has a man.
No matter how outstanding other n are, they are irrelevant to !” Finally, Ling Long spoke.
Without hesitation, she rejected him.
Lan Wutong was slightly surprised.
His gaze narrowed and he huffed:
“Your man?
Are you referring to Su Chen?
We’ve already heard from Lan Su about him, he is indeed a genius, not bad at all!”
“But can he compare with Xing Nie?!!
Facing an utterly worthless Ancient Arm Ape of the Hollow Void Realm Ninth Level, he would be nearly dead.”
“If it were Xing Nie, he would need only One Move to kill the Ancient Arm Ape.”
“Ling Long, you have co to Holy Spirit City, look further and broader, don’t keep the narrow mindset you had in a place like Burning Heaven Sect or Feng Yin City.”
“You used to think Su Chen was good and set your heart on him because you had not t Xing Nie.”
“Let tell you from experience, these two are as different as heaven and earth.
If Su Chen is a fish, then Xing Nie is a dragon.
Even if you were blind, you should choose the dragon over the fish.”
“What’s more, Su Chen is dead!”
……..
Having been silent for quite so ti, Lan Su could no longer hold back upon hearing such belittlent of Su Chen.
She looked at Lan Wutong and said loudly, “Great Elder, you haven’t even t Brother Su, how can you be sure Su Chen is the fish, not the dragon?”
“Hehe…” Lan Wutong was first taken aback, then shifted his gaze towards Lan Su and laughed mockingly, “Even assuming your ‘Brother Su’ is a dragon, can he be compared to Xing Nie?!!!
Could Su Chen reach the Seventh Level of the Divine Power Realm at the age of twenty-seven?
Could he receive the War God inheritance?
Could he beco a lord?
Could he be chosen by the Royal Family as an Imperial Son-in-Law candidate?
Answer !”
Lan Su’s face turned red instantly.
She was at a loss for words.
Indeed, she believed Su Chen to be a super-genius, but if she had to claim all those things ntioned by the Great Elder…
“Can’t answer, can you?
So, as I said, compared to Xing Nie, Su Chen is trash, just a fish!
Am I wrong?” Lan Wutong’s face showed more disgust and annoyance: “Lan Su, stop frequenting those lowly places of Fifth Rank, Sixth Rank, and Seventh Rank Forces.
They will only limit your vision.
You should mingle with monsters like Xing Nie more, so you know how big the world is, and you can grasp what a real genius is!”
As Lan Wutong half chastised, half lectured Lan Su, others from the Lan Family who governed the house also began to speak, but their words were directed at Ling Long:
“Ling Long, if you spend so ti with Xing Nie, you’ll realize how trashy and ridiculous that man called Su Chen in your heart is.”
“Su Chen?
Who is he?
An ant from a Sixth Rank Force?
Hehe…
Xing Nie couldn’t even be bothered to glance at him!”
“One must have self-awareness.
Ling Long, it’s your great fortune that Xing Nie has taken a liking to you – a fortune for your ancestors!”
“Comparing that Su Chen with Xing Nie is nothing but an insult to Xing Nie!”
……..
“Patriarch, Patriarch…” Amidst the slight commotion, Ling Long looked at Lan Xiangnan and Lan Wutong in succession, seriously and firmly stating, “I, Ling Long, in life, belong to Su Chen; in death, I will be Su Chen’s ghost.
In my heart, Su Chen is the most outstanding.”
“You!!!” Lan Wutong finally beca enraged, staring intently at Ling Long: “Ungrateful!
Don’t forget, your life was saved by the Lan Family!
Without the Lan Family, you would have died long ago.
Who are you to be so disrespectful and mouth off here?”
“Great Elder, the Lan Family saved my life, and I acknowledge that.
So, if the Great Elder feels short-changed, you can take Ling Long’s life right now – I have no complaints!” Ling Long said quietly, locking eyes with Lan Wutong.
Then, she closed her eyes.
Waiting for death.
Waiting for Lan Wutong to kill her.
