Section 27

However, the one who benefited the most from all of this was Su Zhou.

At this moment, his eyes slightly opened, and within their depths, myriad Reincarnations seemed to revolve.

Within his Physical Body, his Qi and Blood surged, and a faint dark golden light emanated from him.

He had previously obtained the Heaven Rank Medicinal Pill, the Divine Guard Pill, which could enhance the toughness and strength of the Physical Body; each pill could improve one's Physical Body by about one percent.

Su Zhou's Physical Body was already terrifyingly strong, and with the addition of a hundred Divine Guard Pills, it could now rival the bodies of ancient Divine Beast cubs.

Profound Rank Treasure Artifacts could not even leave the slightest mark on his body.

Within his body, a Void Realm projection continuously floated, with myriad rays of light slowly drifting within the Void Realm, and golden True Qi winding like flowing water.

The outer scenery is clear, the inner scenery is connected, the Void Realm emerges, capable of controlling the power of heaven and earth—this is the Heavenly Origin Realm!

After several days of Cultivation and the enhancements from his clansmen's Realm advancements, Su Zhou's Cultivation had already entered the Heavenly Origin Realm!

"Ding!! Golden clansman Su Yang's Sword Intent has transformed, rewarding the host with a Sword Intent upgrade to... Sword Heart!!"

With the System prompt in his ear, Su Zhou's surroundings seemed to fall into stagnation.

In the ethereal, countless famous swords seemed to stand in the air, exuding a chilling aura.

Above Sword Intent, one can condense a Sword Heart; with a single thought, myriad swords submit.

As clansmen influenced by Su Zhou grew stronger, he would receive even more powerful rewards in return!

"Not bad!" Feeling his current formidable power, Su Zhou's lips slightly curved, and he was in a great mood.

Thump, thump, thump!!

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

"Come in!"

The Su Family's steward respectfully entered, leading a middle-aged man.

"Greetings, Clan Chief!" The steward bowed and said.

At the same time, the burly man suddenly prostrated himself on the ground: "The Clan Chief of the Wudan Su Family pays his respects to our Clan Chief; please, Clan Chief, uphold justice for us!!"

Chapter 32: Engagement Broken? Crippled? Golden Destiny Clansman?

"Wudan Su Family..." Su Zhou was slightly startled as he looked at the kneeling clansman.

The Su Family's ancestors had experienced countless changes, and they deeply understood the principle that one should not put all their eggs in one basket.

Therefore, the Su Family had established branch families in many cities.

These branch families were settled in various places to ensure that if the Su Family ever faced a catastrophic disaster, their Bloodline could be preserved.

But... times were different now; Su Zhou now possessed the Strongest Family System.

The stronger the clansmen, the greater the enhancement he received. According to Su Zhou's memory, there were no fewer than ten branch families of the Su Family scattered outside.

The disciples of these families, combined, also represented a huge number.

This would undoubtedly be a significant boost to his own strength.

As the main Family and branch families had not been in contact for many years, Su Zhou had actually forgotten about these branch families.

"It seems it's time to bring all these branch families back together."

Su Zhou thought to himself, but on the surface, he calmly looked at the man kneeling on the ground.

"Su Zhan implores the Clan Chief to preside over justice for our Family!!"

The man knelt respectfully on the ground.

"You may rise," Su Zhou said softly, then his True Qi surged, helping Su Zhan to his feet.

Feeling Su Zhou's formidable True Qi, Su Zhan's face showed a hint of joy.

"So the rumors are true; our Clan Chief has indeed become an Outer Scenery expert!"

"Perhaps, Yan'er is saved! The Su Family is also saved!"

Thinking of this, Su Yan's expression became even more respectful: "Please, Clan Chief, uphold justice for us."

Su Zhou looked at him with a calm expression: "There's no need to be so polite. We are of the same clan, connected by the same Qi. As the Clan Chief of the Su Clan, I will personally handle all grievances for you."

Listening to Su Zhou's words, Su Zhan's half-suspended heart finally slowly settled.

He organized his thoughts for a moment, then began to speak.

"The Blood Demon Sect is too overbearing, and the Nalan Family is also shameless. Please, Clan Chief, seek justice for my Yan'er and preserve the honor of my Su Family..."

As Su Zhan spoke, the nine-foot-tall man actually choked up a little, as if feeling wronged for his son.

Under Su Zhan's narration, Su Zhou gradually understood the whole story.

More than ten years ago, Su Zhan was Cultivating in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range and met Nalan Mo, the young Clan Chief of the Nalan Family. The two went through life-and-death trials together and became sworn brothers.

They also agreed that if they had children in the future, sons would be brothers, daughters would be sisters, and if they had a boy and a girl, they would be betrothed.

Later, both became Clan Chiefs of their respective Families, and this matter became a beautiful story that promoted the relationship between the Families.

Furthermore, Su Zhan's son, Su Yan, had extremely high talent and was hailed as Wudan City's number one Genius. The Nalan Family frequently expressed goodwill, but fate is unpredictable.

In the past two years, Su Yan, who was originally exceptionally talented, was unable to condense True Qi, and his Cultivation continuously regressed, even falling to Blood Tempering Triple Realm now.

However, Nalan Yanran, the legitimate daughter of the Nalan Family, had joined the Blood Demon Sect and was highly regarded.

She even expressed disdain for Su Yan on several public occasions.

Su Yan himself had no good feelings for the other party and actually didn't care about ending this relationship set by the older generation.

But the worst part was that the Nalan Family actually spread news that they wanted to break off the engagement.

This action seemed to merely look down on Su Yan, but behind it lay countless deeper meanings.

Otherwise, Su Zhan wouldn't have gone to the main Family for help himself.

Among aristocratic Families, they competed for resources and schemed with military might. The Nalan Family and the Su Family were originally the two strongest Families in Wudan City.

Even if Su Yan became a cripple, out of fear of the Su Family, the other party wouldn't dare to display such arrogant behavior.

This action was not only a direct insult to Su Yan but also an insult to the Su Family.

Anyone with a clear eye knew that the other party was probing, testing the Su Family's strength. The so-called broken engagement was false; the Nalan Family, having allied with the Blood Demon Sect, truly wanted to annex the Wudan Su Family.

Using the broken engagement as a pretext, they wanted to test the Su Family's capabilities. The real reason for the broken engagement was their desire to annex the Su Family.

Su Zhou understood this in an instant.

Between aristocratic Families, it was always a struggle of wits and power; there was no such thing as a fleeting whim or a mere alliance through marriage.

It was simply a deeper form of... the law of the jungle.

However, compared to the relationship between the Wudan Su Family and the Nalan Family, Su Zhou was truly interested in that former Heaven's Chosen, Su Yan...

Listening to Su Zhan talk about his son, Su Zhou felt increasingly strange in his heart.

Broken engagement BUFF, Genius turned waste BUFF, protective father BUFF, major Sect oppression BUFF.

With these layers of BUFF, he probably carried an old man in a ring with him, didn't he?

"I see. The Blood Demon Sect and the Nalan Family are truly audacious..."

"They dare to bully my Su Family..." Su Zhou's eyes were deep, as if he peered through the Void Realm to the distant Blood Demon Sect.

The Blood Demon Sect's appearance rate was quite high. The Ma Family Family had connections to the Blood Demon Sect, and not long ago, it was the Blood Demon Sect that spied on the Su Family.

Now, they want to destroy a branch of my Su Family.

It would truly be a waste not to use such a frequently appearing stepping stone...

"Clan Chief... Leaving aside the Nalan Family for now, the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect behind them has a Heaven Yuan Great Perfection Cultivation, and all their Elders are in the Heavenly Origin Realm. I'm afraid..."

Su Zhan's face was filled with worry, and he couldn't help but steal a glance at Su Zhou. Although Wudan City seemed calm now, he knew in his heart what kind of storm was brewing beneath that calm.

If Su Zhou ignored it, the entire Wudan Su Family would face imminent destruction.

But the thought of the Blood Demon Sect, that colossal entity behind the Nalan Family, made Su Zhan feel panicked.

"A mere Blood Demon Sect... What's there to worry about...?" However, Su Zhou's indifferent voice slowly sounded, and for some reason, hearing these words filled Su Zhan with immense confidence.

He had already informed him of all the stakes involved, yet his Clan Chief remained so calm and composed.

Along the way, he had seen how powerful and terrifying the main Family now was, with many clansmen capable of single-handedly suppressing himself, the Clan Chief of Wudan.

Thinking that all these changes were due to this unfathomable Clan Chief, Su Zhan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"This matter concerns the honor of the Su Clan; I will handle it myself."

"Thank you, great Clan Chief!!" Su Zhan was tearfully grateful, bowing from the bottom of his heart.

Then he heard Su Zhou say indifferently, "No need for more words, this is a matter of our clan. Also, I want to know..."

"Did your Yan'er ever say anything like..."

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man in poverty?"

Chapter 34: Blood Demon Elder Arrives! The Su Family... Must be Destroyed!

"Uh..." Hearing Su Zhou's words, Su Zhan was also stunned for a moment.

"Yan'er did say that."
