Section 13

Instantly, the smile on Wang Hu's face vanished, and a trickle of cold sweat began to seep from his forehead.

An inexplicable sense of fear emerged from the depths of Wang Hu's heart.

At this moment, Su Zhou, who appeared calm and composed before him, seemed increasingly towering in his eyes, like the lofty heavens, unattainable!

There were no strange phenomena, no Killing Intent, and Su Zhou didn't even reveal his cultivation.

But the instincts Wang Hu had honed through years of life-and-death struggles were warning him.

If he continued to play dumb in front of this man, then he would...

"I'm going to die... I'm going to die..." This thought almost consumed Wang Hu's entire being.

Wang Hu was not the most talented person in the Wang Family; in fact, he came from a collateral branch, and the reason he reached his current position was due to his ability to assess the situation and his extremely sensitive intuition.

He quickly reined in the smile on his face.

Then, under Su Zhou's playful gaze...

He slowly knelt down.

"Wang Hu, you..." Ma Xiao looked at Wang Hu in disbelief.

He had clearly explained the situation to Wang Hu: Su Zhou had just emerged from seclusion and was, at most, only at the first level of the External Manifestation Realm.

And their Old Ancestor had emerged from closed-door cultivation, completely unafraid of Su Zhou.

The reason they handed over the Li Family to Su Zhou to vent his anger was entirely due to that Old Ancestor's other plans.

One must know that their Old Ancestor had already entered the fifth level of the External Manifestation Realm decades ago, and his re-emergence from seclusion made him even more unfathomable.

He had even used profound methods to achieve a Breakthrough into the External Manifestation Realm himself.

He had become an External Manifestation Realm expert, but being cautious by nature, he had not announced it, choosing instead to conceal his cultivation.

Coming to the Su Family with Wang Hu today was originally intended to display their strength; there was only room for one Family's voice in Tianwu City!

Now, his Ma Family Family not only had an Old Ancestor overseeing them, but he had also entered the External Manifestation Realm, a Family with two External Manifestation Realm experts; unifying Tianwu was for today.

No matter how much of a Prodigy or a Prodigy Su Zhou was, the Su Family only had him as an External Manifestation Realm expert.

How could they contend against his Ma Family Family?

Ma Xiao had already prepared his speech, and even the Wang Family, upon learning that the Ma Family Family's Old Ancestor was still alive, had immediately softened their stance.

But he never expected that his own teammate would be scared into kneeling by a single sentence the moment he entered the door?!

How could they play now?!

Ma Xiao's face darkened; he could no longer maintain his facade: "Su Clan Leader, what great might you possess!"

"We kindly came to visit after your emergence from seclusion, and this is your attitude?!"

"Heh heh~ Don't think..."

Ma Xiao sneered, and the true Qi he had been suppressing slowly circulated, but he hadn't finished speaking.

When Su Zhou interjected.

"You wouldn't think that just because you've entered the External Manifestation Realm, you can speak to me like that, would you!"

Su Zhou's voice boomed in Ma Xiao's ears.

The Heaven and Earth Sorrowful Autumn Art began to circulate.

Imbuing his voice with a strong sense of desolation.

Ma Xiao's true Qi within his body completely dissipated.

And before he could even react.

Pfft!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!" A heart-wrenching pain instantly surged into his heart.

His ear had been torn off raw.

Blood splattered, like blooming flowers.

"Since you didn't listen to what I just said, then you don't need these useless ears anymore."

Su Zhou's voice remained indifferent; he had appeared in front of Ma Xiao at some unknown point.

He looked down at Ma Xiao, his two ears discarded on the ground like trash.

Terrifying cultivation erupted, and instantly, a hurricane-like pressure swept through everything without restraint.

Under this pressure, Ma Xiao even felt the surrounding air solidify at that moment.

A sense of 'absurd' despair emerged in his heart.

"No!! How is this possible... Impossible!!"

"Impossible!! Clearly... Clearly I also entered the External Manifestation Realm!!"

"Why is this happening, why... why..." Ma Xiao looked up at Su Zhou, almost collapsing.

He didn't understand why he, having clearly entered the External Manifestation Realm, was still like an infant before this man, utterly defenseless.

"Noisy!" Su Zhou said coldly.

Then, with a sweep of his large hand, true Qi became a blade.

Ma Xiao's arms and legs were directly severed.

He fell to the ground, the intense pain twisting his expression, but no matter how he opened his mouth to wail, not a single sound came out.

As if a mute button had been pressed.

Su Zhou turned and looked at Wang Hu, who was kneeling on the ground, already drenched in cold sweat.

"You're still as decisive as ever."

A bitter smile involuntarily appeared on Wang Hu's face; in the eyes of outsiders, his Wang Family was high and mighty, one of the three great Families of Tianwu.

But he knew in his heart that all of this was based on strength.

The Ma Family Family had an Old Ancestor emerge from seclusion, and the Su Family's Su Zhou had suddenly appeared.

However, his Wang Family had no External Manifestation Realm experts, and in this situation, the so-called three great Families had long become a joke.

What awaited the Wang Family was nothing more than two paths: annihilation or becoming a subordinate.

And the scene before him seemed to have given the final answer to everything.

The Wang Clan Chief knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

The Ma Family Clan Chief's limbs were severed, his life unknown.

And Su Zhou, in his dark robes, looked on with an indifferent expression, overlooking everything, like a high and mighty...

God!!

Chapter Seventeen: Submission? No! What I want is blood for blood!

Ma Xiao's limbs were severed by Su Zhou, and he lay on the ground, his life unknown.

And Wang Hu was trembling as he knelt on the ground.

"Su Clan Leader, my Wang Family is willing to become a subordinate Family of the Su Family, I only ask that Su Clan Leader spares the lives of all in my Wang Clan!"

"Henceforth, the Wang Clan is willing to be Su Clan Leader's loyal servant; we can establish a Clan Blood Contract, and if we violate it, the Wang Clan Bloodline shall be severed, and the entire Clan shall perish!"

Wang Hu reacted quickly, directly biting his finger.

He rapidly wrote in mid-air.

Subsequently, contracts formed from blood appeared in the Void Realm.

Su Zhou's gaze shifted slightly; the blood contract carried the Qi of hundreds of thousands of people, which was the Bloodline Power of the entire Wang Clan.

The Clan Blood Contract is a covenant for a Clan, which can be established by the Clan Chief; those who sign this contract become a subordinate of the main Family and must not violate the main Family's orders; if they violate it, the Family Bloodline will be severed, and descendants will be cut off.

Once this blood contract is signed, it means placing the entire Family's lives into the hands of the main Family.

And Wang Hu took only a few breaths from witnessing Su Zhou's strength to making this decision.

His mind and decisiveness were both top-notch.

Wang Hu knew in his heart that with Su Zhou's current strength, destroying the Wang Family would be too simple.

To preserve the Wang Clan's Bloodline, only this method offered a glimmer of hope.

Even if it meant losing dignity, losing freedom, or even becoming a subordinate, he had to find a path for the Wang Clan; this was the duty of a Clan Chief!

For some reason, at this moment, Wang Hu suddenly thought of his rebellious son.

"Yan'er, you were right, strength is the foundation of everything; a Family that only relies on schemes will ultimately either be destroyed or become a subordinate."

However, Su Zhou had not the slightest interest in Wang Hu's thoughts.

He looked down at Wang Hu and said indifferently.

"In the thirteenth year of Mingfeng, my fifth year of seclusion, a change occurred in the Su Clan's back mountain mine. The Wang Family and the Su Family explored it together, and the Su Family Disciples were never heard from again."
