Lady Su’s Revenge-Chapter 664 - Su Li Bides Her Time Patiently for an Opportunity
Just as the Ni Sect assembled 27 holy sects to head for the Tianhe Sect, the world of the Chuangxing Path had passed several days.
Su Li gradually figured out the daily routine of her adoptive mother and Duan Hongchen’s childhood. The Jin family was rich, but this small courtyard seemed to have been forgotten by them, and Duan Hongchen had lived the life of a poor mortal.
Today was the day she made her regular trip to the market to barter the extra vegetables for money, which was also her only free day every month.
Su Li’s adoptive mother didn’t seem to be worried about her getting lost and always let her go alone every time. Su Li guessed that her adoptive mother might take this opportunity to observe her, so she didn’t intend to show any abnormality.
The Jin family seemed to be the top family in Fanglong City and had its mansion occupied a prime location. Not long after leaving the Jin’s, Su Li saw the market archway from afar.
“Ruyi Market!”
Su Li got the information about this market from Duan Hongchen’s childhood memory. Ruyi Market seemed to have a great background and didn’t charge much trading commission. Mortals and practitioners liked to trade in Ruyi Market.
Ruyi Market was clearly divided into the East Market and West Market by a red line on the ground.
Su Li followed her memory going to her stall and sat down. She lined up the fresh vegetables of her pack basket and set the price.
Two coins for a bundle of vegetables.
Her price was the lowest among the whole market and her vegetables were extremely fresh, so she sold them out quickly every time.
Su Li’s adoptive mother didn’t care her price.
What could a practitioner do with a few coins? She just took this chance to observe whether Su Li had any abnormalities.
Just in an hour, Su Li’s pack basket was empty, and she got 60 coins.
After stringing the coins together, she took out two coins and went to find the market administrator who was taking a nap in the lounge chair.
“My Lord, I’m here to pay the commission.”
Su Li spread out her palm. Before she could react, the two coins were taken away.
Without even looking up, the market administrator waved his hand impatiently.
“I’ve told you many times. Don’t bother me with commissions of less than a tael of silver.”
“Got it!”
Su Li gave a meek response and left quickly. She wasn’t heading for her courtyard but the busy market.
A little girl should be fun-loving. If she went back to her courtyard right now, her adoptive mother would feel strange.
Su Li bought a stick of sugar-coated haws with coins and bit the haws on it. Then she lifted the stick and wandered about the market.
Seeing this scene, Su Li’s adoptive mother, who was observing in the dark, gave a quick look of disappointment and turned away.
She was almost fed up with this.
“I’ll observe Duan Hongchen for another year. If she still has no abnormality…”
Su Li’s adoptive mother showed a fierce gaze and snorted coldly. She quickened her pace and disappeared in the crowd.
While wandering without aim, Su Li was still thinking about the possibility of her quickly breaking the dilemma.
Her cultivation was deprived when she entered the test illusion. Now she was a girl without cultivation and couldn’t even defeat a strong adult.
She didn’t consider breaking the dilemma by force.
So she could only break it by strategy.
Fortunately, after a few days of observation, Su Li found that the cultivation system in the test illusion was much the same as in the Qingshui Circle. A practitioner of the Jindan Realm was strong but had weaknesses.
Su Li’s adoptive mother hadn’t reached the Yuanying Realm yet. As long as Su Li could destroy her adoptive mother’s vital part, then she would probably succeed in killing her adoptive mother.
However, was her adoptive mother the only enemy?
Su Li wasn’t sure of that. And for her, if her adoptive mother had a second to react, she would be killed easily.
Moreover, it was impossible for her to destroy the body of a practitioner of the Jindan Realm with her bared hands. She needed to specially prepare for lethal means.
“Means and the right time.”
Su Li’s heart sank. She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
At this time, she should be calmer than usual and bide her time patiently for an opportunity…
…
“Old Ancestor Tianxing, what brought you to honor us with your presence?”
The lord of the Tianhe Sect sat at the head in the hall. Below him, Fang Mu didn’t change his face, but his heart was full of ups and downs and could not be calm.
“I don’t have the honor.”
Bai Su shook his head and smiled, “I dislike you guys who abandoned your old master and established a new sect. I would never be here if I hadn’t predicted the destruction of your sect overnight.”
“Old Ancestor Tianxing, you are an elder.”
After hearing Bai Su’s remarks, the lord of the Tianhe Sect stopped smiling at once and said coldly, “But you should watch your tongue!”
“Why not tell the truth?”
Bai Su maintained his attitude with a rare cold look in his eyes, “I’ve been thinking about what I missed in my divination on my way here. Now I finally figure it out. How can a young man like you dominate the medium of evil skill? Where is Fang Huaji?”
“You…”
Once the lord of the Tianhe Sect heard that, he turned pale with shock.
Fang Mu standing aside wore a puzzled look.
The medium of evil skill?
Wasn’t Fang Huaji the founder of their Tianhe Sect? Did Old Ancestor Tianxing mean that their founder was still alive?
Seeing the reaction of the lord of the Tianhe Sect, the grand elders of 27 sects, who came here with Bai Su, understood the situation and turned gloomy.
“So your Tianhe Sect really harbored sinister intentions!”
“Our Fengxi Sect has always admired your sect, but I never expect it to be a misjudgment!”
The grand elders of 27 sects stepped forward together and gave a great sense of pressure. As the lord of the Tianhe Sect was panicking, a sudden elderly voice rang out in the hall.
“Haha, nothing can be hidden from the Tianxing Valley at this time. Why are you venting your anger on the junior? Miao He, bring him to me.”
The lord of the Tianhe Sect was instantly relieved with a restored smile and walked down from his seat. Ignoring Fang Mu’s questioning gaze, he just smiled at Bai Su and said, “Senior, come with me.”
Bai Su told the grand elders of 27 sects to wait here and left the hall alone.
Fang Mu stared blankly at the two men’s back and pursed his lips.
“My big brother is really hiding something from me. I was right about that time. He did come back. Uncle Chen, I don’t understand why…”
Fang Mu heard a timely reply in his mind.
“He is probably protecting you. Sometimes, it is not good to know too much. The truth is often the most unacceptable.”
In the dim hall, the blood-red veins kept flickering.
Bai Su walked slowly to the middle of the hall and saw a black sarcophagus. After a moment of silence, he burst out laughing.
“Senior, I never expected to see you again after more than 10,000 years. I still have a year to live, but you seemed to be worse off than me.”
“Haha, Bai Su.”
A scoff came from the black sarcophagus, “You are not qualified to say that about me. If it weren’t for your brother’s obstruction back then, the great lord might not have died. Although you didn’t say anything about it, you should be atoning in your current state, right?”
Bai Su’s face darkened, “What about you, senior? Is it right for you to degenerate into a devil and try to cultivate practitioners into evildoers?”
“I never said I represented the righteous path. That’s just a title imposed on me by the outside practitioners.”
The voice was profound in the black sarcophagus, “Evildoers are too supernatural to cultivate. The blood exchange secret skill has reaped the highest achievements, that was, Fang Yuan and Fang Mu in order. The two brothers’ bloodline inherited ancestral characteristics. At birth, they absorbed nearly half of their talents here, but they failed to become evildoers in the end.”
Hearing this, Bai Su’s pupils contracted, and he couldn’t help but step back in horror.
“You’re crazy to experiment with your descendants!”
“No, I’m not crazy. Sometimes you have to pay enough to get what you want.”
The voice in the black sarcophagus was still calm, “Although it’s a failure, the two children are indeed the most dazzling geniuses of our Fang family. I’ll bear all the burden of sin, and they’ll only enjoy the fruits of our victory.”
“But if they know that you’ve filled up their talent with countless lives. Are you sure they won’t go crazy?”
Bai Su said bitterly, “You can bear all the burn of sin, but how can they overcome their mood disorders?
“You seemed to have misunderstood something.”
After a moment of silence in the black sarcophagus, a sudden chuckle sounded, “I never tried to hide it. Fang Yuan has always known it and was a regular here before entering the Reincarnation Mirror.”
“What?”
Bai Su was shocked. Fang Yuan’s silent face flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly showed a distorted expression.
“That’s it. I don’t know what stimulated him in the Reincarnation Mirror. He wanted to leave our sect. I could only tell him that I would shift my cultivation focusing on his younger brother if he left, so… he stayed.”
Fang Huaji’s tone was relaxed as if he was threatening two strangers rather than his descendants.
“Even so, Fang Yuan’s cultivation progress still could not satisfy me. So I sent him out to find his serendipity and then shifted my attention to the Qi Hall. Just now, my new spirit tool has been successfully developed.”
Crack…
A crisp voice rang in Bai Su’s ears, and the black sarcophagus opened a gap.
Bai Su turned pale and was about to stop it when he heard himself kneeling on the ground with a “thump” and couldn’t stand up.
Crack… bang!
The crack of the black sarcophagus exploded at an unimaginable speed. Then a scrawny elder in a white robe jumped out of the black sarcophagus and stood easily beside Bai Su.
“Tianxing Valley, you have witnessed the Qingshui Palace’s destruction. Now, I allow you to continue to witness how I destroy the Fate Palace!”
Bang!
Fang Huaji waved his robe sleeve, the stony hall exploded and turned into countless spirit lights. They followed the dense blood-red veins on the ground and spread throughout the entire Qingshui Circle!
Bai Su knelt on the only intact stone slab trembling with a frightened look.
At this moment, he understood why all he saw was the Tianhe Sect’s destruction regardless of how he divined.
Fang Huaji! Fang Huaji had reached the Great Emperor Realm in 10,000 years!
How could he stop a great emperor’s decision?
In an instant, the wind rose and the dark clouds began to gather in the sky over the whole Qingshui Circle.
“What happened?”
The grand elders who were waiting in the hall heard an explosion. Then they saw that it was suddenly dark outside, with thunder flashing among the dark clouds.
“It’s bad! Senior Bai should have failed. What shall we do?”
As soon as Old Ancestor Feng Xi finished speaking, she saw the dense blood-red veins lit up on the ground. She stood on them and felt as if something else was in her body, but she couldn’t describe it.
Fang Mu stared steadily at the veins on the ground and suddenly bent down to vomit blood. His blood surprisingly soaked into the red veins and flowed far away.
Seeing this, Xiang Hua’s pupils contracted with shock. He rushed to help Fang Mu, who was falling, “What’s wrong with you?”
Fang Mu shook his head in confusion, “I’m just… a little nauseous.”
At the sound of it, the grand elders looked at each other with questioning eyes.
Xiang Hua looked up at the sky outside and frowned.
“What exactly happened?”
