Chapter 69: Heritage Treasure
Chapter 69: Heritage Treasure
The hundreds of core members of the Xu family, with the lowest cultivation reaching the Qi Sea realm and the highest reaching the late Origin Elixir Realm. Moreover, the Xu family is the largest family in the Flower Moon Kingdom. These people are naturally well-experienced and composed in their daily lives.
However, at this moment, upon hearing Su Zhan's words, they all looked at each other, their faces showing a sense of horror reflected in the eyes of the other party!
The Xu family's Ancestor. At the peak of the Origin Elixir Realm, he is the strongest person in the Xu family and his strength is enough to rank in the top five in the entire Flower Moon Kingdom! He is the object of worship for over a hundred thousand members of the Xu family!
But today, their faith. Their revered and god-like Ancestor was defeated with just one sword by a young teenager who appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old!
This was something they couldn't accept. Some people rubbed their eyes, thinking they were seeing things incorrectly. Some people slapped themselves in the face, thinking they were dreaming.
"Are all of you from the Xu family idiots?" Seeing those people in a dazed state, Su Zhan asked in astonishment.
This sentence resounded, completely bringing those people back to reality. Looking at Su Zhan, everyone felt bitter in their hearts. The more timid younger generations of the Xu family had already knelt down before Su Zhan.
"Su, Senior Su, spare us! Xu Yao's matter has nothing to do with me! I don't even know him! I beg Senior Su to let me go!"
As the first person spoke, one by one, disciples of the Xu family couldn't care about their dignity and knelt down, begging for mercy.
"Senior Su, the situation in our Xu family is complicated. The main branch and the side branch have nothing to do with each other! The people from the main branch who offended you have nothing to do with us from the branch!"
"The people from the main branch who acted wrongly should be severely punished, but please let us innocent ones go!"
"Xu Yao! That scoundrel! How dare he owe something to Senior Su and not repay it!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's all because of that scoundrel!"
The Xu family disciples, filled with fear, rushed towards Xu Yao as if they had grasped a lifeline.
"You scoundrel! Do you want to harm everyone in our Xu family? Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Su!" An elder at the Origin Elixir Realm reprimanded Xu Yao angrily, grabbed him, and threw him in front of Su Zhan.
Seeing the state of the Xu family members, Su Zhan was somewhat astonished. "It seems that the person from earlier was really your Ancestor. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in this state. But why is your Ancestor so weak?"
Why is the Ancestor so weak?
We also want to know, why are you so abnormal???
The hearts of the hundreds of Xu family members were in turmoil, and no one could provide an answer.
"Never mind, I thought we were going to have a big battle, but it seems it's just a warm-up." Su Zhan seemed rather uninterested, he ended his Divine Body state, and the Great Sun Star Sword returned to his brow.
Only then did he look towards Xu Yao, who was lying not far in front of him. His tone turned cold. "Xu Yao, you swore that you wouldn't default on your debts. Now"
"Su, Su Zhan, it really has nothing to do with me!" Xu Yao's face was full of grievances and fear. His voice trembled as he said, "It was my father, my father absolutely forbade me from sending people to your sword sect to fulfill our promise. These past few days, I haven't been able to sleep a wink. I really didn't dare to default on the debt!"
Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Xu Molong, who appeared weakened and on the verge of death, suddenly contracted his pupils. Intense desire for survival compelled him to struggle and retreat a distance from the ground. He exclaimed with a hoarse voice, "No, no, no! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! The Xu family is willing to compensate!Young Master Su can take whatever he wants, take it away! I beg Young Master Su for mercy!"
Su Zhan shook his head. "Mercy for you? But you didn't show any mercy towards me before!" As soon as he finished speaking, a sword aura descended and completely killed Xu Molong.
"Father!" Xu Yao's heart trembled, and he rushed over in grief.
Just now, the words he said were purely instinctual out of extreme fear. He deeply regretted the consequences now.
"Patriarch!" The hundreds of Xu family members were also shocked, and their trembling bodies on the ground intensified.
Seeing this scene, Su Zhan felt calm inside. Xu Molong didn't even give him a chance to explain before deciding to take his life. Should he spare such a person?
He glanced at the twelve Origin Elixir Realm elders who had just attacked him.
Immediately, all twelve elders felt a tremor in their hearts, a chilling sensation creeping over them.
"Young Master Su, have mercy! We are the elders of the clan, merely following the orders of the family head!"
"We have no acquaintance with Young Master Su. How could we possibly want to kill you?"
Sounds of pleading for mercy rang out.
Su Zhan waved his hand impatiently. "Enough, enough. With your current appearance, it's as if I'm some kind of villain. I only came here to reason with you, so there's no need to be so afraid."
Reason with us?
Heh! You kill the Ancestor as soon as you arrive, and then you kill the Patriarch Is that your idea of reasoning? Can we not be afraid?
The members of the Xu family harbored resentment in their eyes, feeling frustrated in their hearts.
"Now that the person who wanted to kill me is dead, we can begin to address the debt issue." Su Zhan's gaze fell on the center of the altar.
From the moment he arrived at Lu Terrace Mountain, he noticed that the spiritual energy here was almost three times denser than that of White Cloud Peak. And now, standing here, he could clearly sense that the source of the rich spiritual energy was right in front of the altar.
With a light step, Su Zhan approached the altar. Buried in the center of the altar was a round bead the size of an egg, the focal point of the dense spiritual energy of Lu Terrace Mountain.
"Is this a Spirit Gathering Pearl?" Recalling the treasures he received a few days ago, Su Zhan curiously reached out to grab it.
"Young Master Su!"
At that moment, an elder spoke up, "That is our Xu family's heritage treasure. It has been absorbing the spiritual energy of the underground veins of Lu Terrace Mountain for over a hundred years and carries the spiritual imprint left by the successive family heads! Only those of our Xu family lineage can use it!"
"Yes, it's not that we are unwilling, but the heritage treasure can only be used by our Xu family members. Even if the Empress herself comes, she cannot decipher it!"
"Young Master Su, please choose something else! Heavenly and earthly spiritual herbs, treasures, profound artifacts, or demonic beast mounts, all are available!"
One elder after another spoke up.
Although they knew that Su Zhan couldn't activate the heritage treasure, they were also afraid that he would destroy the heritage treasure in frustration when he found out he couldn't use it. Then they would truly be in despair!
Heritage treasure? Similar to the 27 ancestral sword inheritance of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect? And this pearl itself seems to be a rare treasure What a good item!
Su Zhan's eyes brightened.
Soon, he remembered the words of that elder, furrowing his brows slightly and hesitating as he placed his hand on the heritage treasure.
