Empty the sect's treasury

"Saint, this is the sect treasure vault. You may choose at will. If you see something you like, just take it."

Inside the sect treasure vault, Elder Liu Yong stood beside Su Ming, a flattering smile on his face.

Now, no one in the entire Three Saints Sect would feel any dissatisfaction toward Su Ming's actions.

Even the rule that only one item could be taken from the sect treasure vault had been changed because of Su Ming.

The events that occurred an hour ago were still vivid in everyone's minds.

The gap in the Sect Protecting Array was still there, and it could not be repaired.

At this point, no one wanted to face the wrath of a Heavenly Dao Realm Expert.

Moreover, Su Ming's strength was obvious to all. Even putting aside his mother's deterrence, anyone with eyes could see that the position of saint son would ultimately be his.

It was a pity for that Chu Fan; his talent was also extraordinary, but unfortunately, he fell into the spatial turbulence and was most likely dead.

At the thought of this, Liu Yong wished he could curse Li Jianping to death.

If not for this muddled Sect Master, would things have turned out like this?

Looking at the massive sect treasure vault, Su Ming had his answer.

"Elder Liu, could you let me see the vault's inventory list? It would be a waste of time to pick things out one by one."

Hearing Su Ming's words, Liu Yong nodded repeatedly and directly brought out the list. "The vault inventory is here. Please have a look, Saint."

Taking the list, Su Ming quickly identified the items on it, then reached out and marked about a dozen lines on the list.

"Just these, then."

Looking at the list before him, Liu Yong's heart bled.

Although the dozen or so items Su Ming selected weren't the most rare, they were still resources painstakingly accumulated.

Unfortunately, he didn't dare say a single word of refusal and had to offer them up with a smile.

"The Saint has a good eye. I will go and retrieve these items for you right away."

"Elder Liu, I think you misunderstood me. What I meant was, except for those I marked, I want everything else in the sect treasure vault!"

"This... this..."

Liu Yong, who was at the Peak Star Realm cultivation, was now stammering, unable to utter a complete sentence.

With only a dozen items left in the entire sect treasure vault, would it still be a treasure vault or just a common warehouse? No, even a common warehouse held more than this.

"Elder Liu, you just told me yourself that I could choose anything in this sect treasure vault and take whatever I liked. You wouldn't go back on your word now, would you?"

Su Ming gave Liu Yong a "kind" smile.

With things having reached this point, did Liu Yong dare to refuse? Obviously not.

Thus, he could only suppress the emotions that were about to collapse on his face, forced a smile, and replied, "Of course I wouldn't do such a thing. I will go and prepare them for the Young Lord..."

At this moment, Liu Yong was like a walking corpse, personally stuffing everything from the entire sect treasure vault into Storage Rings until only the dozen or so treasures Su Ming didn't want remained.

The once abundant treasure vault was now empty.

Liu Yong tremblingly handed the several Storage Rings to Su Ming.

"Elder Liu, you're getting on in years; you should take better care of your health," Su Ming comforted him while taking all the Storage Rings into his hand.

"Th-thank you for your concern, Saint..."

Su Ming patted his shoulder, then turned and left without looking back.

Since the resources were in hand, it was time to continue to Cultivate.

After Su Ming left, Liu Yong could no longer remain standing and collapsed to the ground in despair.

He had guarded the sect treasure vault for decades, and for all those things to vanish in an instant—how could he bear it?

And yet, there was nothing he could do to Su Ming.

As if adding insult to injury, Li Jianping sent him a voice transmission at that moment: "Elder Liu, I see that Su Ming has left. What treasures did he choose?"

These words became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"Sect Master... it's gone! It's all gone! Everything in the sect treasure vault was taken by Su Ming; he only left a dozen items for us!!"

His voice was incredibly mournful, even carrying a hint of a sob.

However, hearing this, Li Jianping's vision also went dark.

He had thought Su Ming would be ruthless and lack a bottom line, but he hadn't expected the final result to be like this.

The entire accumulation of the Three Saints Sect's Legacy until now had been emptied out just like that!?

Li Jianping subconsciously tried to draw his natal flying sword, but his hand caught only air.

Only then did he realize his natal flying sword had been broken by Uncle Meng earlier and had been taken for reforging.

"Su Ming!!!!" Li Jianping roared in his heart, wishing he could tear the other man into ten thousand pieces.

But after witnessing the terrifying methods of Su Ming's mother, he couldn't summon the courage to be Su Ming's enemy.

Even if someone were to take action, it would have to be a Disciple of the same generation. That way, even if Su Ming lost or was injured, his two parents would have no reason to intervene.

Would a dignified Heavenly Dao Realm Supreme actually intervene in a fight between juniors?

However, reality was cruel. If Su Ming had grown up by his parents' side, if anyone dared touch a single hair on his head, the couple Su Wu and Ling Xiao would have beaten them so badly they wouldn't even be able to enter Reincarnation.

"The Three Saints Secret Realm... if he enters the Three Saints Secret Realm..."

As the most important Secret Realm of the Three Saints Sect, it naturally contained countless Opportunities and even the Legacy left behind by Three Saints Sect Seniors.

If Su Ming were allowed to enter, wouldn't those Legacies and the Opportunities within all be snatched away?

Thinking of this, Li Jianping felt a chill run down his spine.

But he simply had no way to stop the other party.

In just three short days, Su Ming's parents had appeared one after another. Even if it was just a lingering will, it was enough to prove the strength of the two.

"Could it be that the Old Ancestor's information was wrong... and Su Ming's parents have actually been freed long ago?"

Thinking of this possibility, Li Jianping could no longer sit still and headed straight for the Sect Forbidden Ground.

In any case, he had to inform the Three Saints Sect Old Ancestor of what had happened... As soon as he returned to Chenyang Peak, Su Ming saw Uncle Meng standing in the courtyard, along with a white-haired girl beside him.

Just by looking at her back, Su Ming could feel that she was definitely a beauty.

Indeed, as a Destiny Female Lead, which one didn't have a baseline of beauty that could topple cities and nations? And the upper limit of their beauty depended on how much ink the author had in their belly.

Sensing Su Ming's return, Uncle Meng turned around and said, "Young Lord, I have successfully fulfilled my mission. I have brought the Young Mistress back."

Hearing Uncle Meng's words, Luo Ningshuang finally turned her head to look at Su Ming.

Seeing her face, Su Ming gained a new understanding of beauty.

"My fiancée, why should she accept the arrangements of your destiny?!"

"If you, Destiny, want to play the cuckold, then I will be the purest Pure Love Battle God!"

While Su Ming was sizing up Luo Ningshuang, she was also sizing him up.

At least from the first impression, both sides were very satisfied with each other.

However, the Jade Pool Empress dwelling within the jade pool heavenly lock spoke to Luo Ningshuang at that moment in an incredibly terrified tone.

"Stay away from him! You must stay away from him! He is a calamity!!"
