Chapter 84: Survival
Stunned for a few seconds, Wang Hao unintentionally spilled the water from his water bottle onto his feet before coming back to his senses.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and carefully picked up one of the storage rings. Infusing it with his true qi and entering his spiritual consciousness, he examined the contents inside.
"Holy shit!"
"Profound artifacts!"
"Five bottles of True Qi Pills!"
"This this is Spirit Essence Grass!"
After inspecting several storage rings in a row, Wang Hao's hands started to tremble. The items inside some of these storage rings were worth several times his entire wealth!
A a glance, it was obvious that these were several geniuses like Qi Yang cultivated with the utmost effort by certain forces.
"Su, Su senior brother How many geniuses, how many powerful individuals did he kill It's too terrifying!"
Looking at those storage rings, Wang Hao felt as if he could see scenes of talented individuals falling. His body trembled.
After a moment, he calmed down and pondered for a while. He took out a sound transmission talisman and called over Yu Qing, a true disciple with whom he had a good relationship. With so many items, he would have a hard time dealing with them alone in a short time. Fortunately, Yu Qing was quite familiar with these matters, so having him help would speed things up!
Not long after, Yu Qing, with a skinny figure resembling that of a monkey, arrived.
"Brother Wang, why did you call me here?"
"Take a look for yourself! These are the things that Senior Brother Su instructed to be handled!" Wang Hao pointed to the sack.
"What can't be stored in a storage ring and needs to be put in a sackholy shit!"
After glancing at the storage rings in the sack, Yu Qing was stunned for a few seconds, then vigorously rubbed his eyes.
"I-Is it possible that"
"You're not mistaken!"
Wang Hao guessed what Yu Qing was about to say and interrupted directly, "Don't cultivate these few days. The benefits you'll gain from helping Senior Brother Su are much greater than cultivating for a few days!"
"Moreover, even if there were no benefits, just being able to do something for Senior Brother Su and establish some connection with him is already a great honor. Yu Qing, I won't force you, do you really want to help or not?"
"To help" Yu Qing's eyes flickered. "Brother Wang, with our relationship, let me be frank, and you should answer honestly too! Did Senior Brother Su really check everything thoroughly? Could it be that he didn't see what was inside some of them, even if it's just missing one or two items"
"Do you want to die?" Wang Hao looked at Yu Qing with a dumbfounded expression. "You don't need to use your brain to think about it. Where do you think these storage rings came from?"
"Where they came from" Yu Qing repeated, thinking of a certain possibility. He was shocked and beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.
"Have you figured it out now?"
Wang Hao sneered. "If you're greedy for Senior Brother Su's things, I don't mind. But I can guarantee that in the next sack of storage rings from him, there will also be one belonging to you, Yu Qing!"
"I-I was just speaking casually. I-I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!" Hearing Wang Hao's words, Yu Qing turned pale, his legs trembling. He felt a chill in his heart.
"Alright, let's hurry and go to the Sword Sect together to handle these things!" As Wang Hao spoke, he put the water bottle into a storage ring, picked up the sack, and left the place.
Yu Qing turned around and followed. The back of his clothes had already been soaked with cold sweat.
Having taken care of all the trivial matters, Su Zhan returned to White Cloud Peak and began seclusion to cultivate.
The Firestar Sword Technique had not yet reached its pinnacle. The Limitless Stellar Body had yet to be cultivated further.
After completing these two goals, he still needed to cultivate some high-grade footwork, fighting techniques, palm techniques, and so on. Even the cultivation technique, he needed to find a more suitable one. There were many things to do, and no time could be wasted.
The main issue was that there was no place to waste time In this world, he couldn't play games, read novels, or watch movies. The only joy might be falling in love.
But such a thing couldn't be forced. If there's no feeling, there's no feeling.
Sighing, Su Zhan dispersed all the jumbled thoughts in his mind and focused on cultivation.
Clear Sun Kingdom.
Inside the Clear Sun Sect
The remaining eight Elders in the Origin Elixir realm gathered together, their faces incredibly grim.
"This time, our Clear Sun Sect has lost fifteen Origin Elixir realm experts and sixty-two Martial Masters!"
"For over five hundred years since the establishment of the Clear Sun Sect, this is the first time we have suffered such heavy losses!"
"Even the Sect Master did not return!"
"Su Zhan! It's all because of Su Zhan! This kid is the number one enemy of our Clear Sun Sect!"
One by one, the elders expressed their anger.
Cao Mu, the Elder of the Punishment Hall, who had the highest status among the remaining members of the Clear Sun Sect, glanced at those people and said, "Are you suggesting that we seek revenge?"
"Nonsense! This grudge is irreconcilable. We must-"
"Good! Then you go!" Cao Mu interrupted directly.
The person's face slightly changed, and he immediately closed his mouth.
"Is there anyone else who wants to seek revenge?" Cao Mu's gaze swept across the others, and they all lowered their heads in silence.
"I understand your anger and sadness, and I feel the same way. But have you ever thought about how terrifying Su Zhan is? He single-handedly fought against the coalition forces of four major powers. Have you not considered that?"
"Revenge? Perhaps it's better to say that it's a suicide mission!"
Cao Mu took a deep breath. "At this moment, what we should be thinking about is how to prevent the annihilation of the Clear Sun Sect by the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect! We initiated the attack on the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, and now our Clear Sun Sect is severely weakened. Do you think we can withstand the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect? Or to put it another way, can our Clear Sun Sect withstand that freak named Su Zhan?"
The seven elders remained silent.
"Enough. I have thought about this for a long time. Tomorrow, I will bring our Clear Sun Sect's most precious treasure and personally go to the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect to apologize. If I do not return alive within three days, the Clear Sun Sect shall be dissolved! It is better than being slaughtered without mercy!"
"Elder Cao, you"
"No need to say anymore." Cao Mu looked at the setting sun outside the hall and smiled bitterly. "My mind is made up. When a mistake is made, someone has to bear the consequences."
Similar situations were occurring within the other three major forces that had besieged the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. After witnessing the terrifying power of Su Zhan, no one had the slightest thought of seeking revenge. At this moment, all they wanted was to survive.
Xia Kingdom, Eastern Palace.
Crown Prince Xia Qitian held a jade scroll containing information about Su Zhan single-handedly defeating the four major forces led by Yun Hengtian. As he read through it, his hand suddenly trembled, and the jade scroll fell to the ground!
"Your Highness!" A nearby maid quickly picked it up and knelt down, presenting it to Xia Qitian with both hands.
"He, he has already reached such a terrifying level. Even my father, I'm afraid, is not his match!" Xia Qitian seemed as if he couldn't see the maid, his face pale, his legs trembling, murmuring, "Last time, I was able to return alive, thanks to the blessing of the late emperor! But who knows if Su Zhan still holds a grudge against me. After all, I never received his forgiveness! If he suddenly decides to strike at the Eastern Palace, as the crown prince, I would be doomed" The more he thought about it, the more frightened Xia Qitian became.
"Ninth Brother Ninth Brother went to the Dark Star Forest together with Su Zhan. I heard their relationship was quite good! If Ninth Brother can come forward and explain, offer an apology on my behalf, perhaps Su Zhan will forgive me! Only Ninth Brother can save me!"
"Ninth Brother, only Ninth Brother can save me!" With a glimmer of hope in his heart, Xia Qitian forcefully pushed aside the maid and hurried to the residence of the Ninth Prince.
As soon as they met, Xia Qitian directly asked, "Ninth Brother, I heard that you have a good relationship with Su Zhan from the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect?"
"It's not that great of a relationship, at best we're acquainted. Why are you asking about this, Big Bro-" Before Xia Qihai could finish his sentence, he saw Xia Qitian suddenly kneel down in front of him. He was instantly stunned.
I haven't finished speaking yet. Why did you suddenly kneel down?
