191: Xiao Panxue's Nine Seals; Blue Star Core Research Institute!

In the bustling Imperial Capital, at a high-end residential complex.

Following the address left by Xiao Panxue, Su Yan teleported to the entrance of the complex.

It was late at night, and everything was deathly silent.

Only the bright white light cast by the streetlamps illuminated the night in front of the complex, making it as bright as day.

"Su Yan!"

Just as Su Yan was about to walk into the complex, Xiao Panxue's voice suddenly rang out from the direction of the flower bed on the left.

Her voice was cool and clear, tinged with a hint of surprise.

"Sister Xue, it's so late, why are you here?"

Su Yan was surprised to hear this and walked quickly toward the flower bed.

In the corner of the flower bed, Xiao Panxue's mature, elegant figure stepped out from the shadows.

Her hair was as black as ink, cascading down to her waist.

With every step she took, the ends of her hair danced lightly.

Even if one couldn't see Xiao Panxue's face clearly, the overwhelming aura of elegance and her incredibly tall, perfect figure made her looks irrelevant.

She was undoubtedly a top-tier beauty!

Xiao Panxue smiled, "I couldn't sleep, so I came down for a walk, and happened to be waiting for you."

Su Yan's gaze, however, landed on Xiao Panxue.

After he had Achieve Godhood, looking at her now, he could easily see through her secret.

There were Seals hidden deep within Xiao Panxue's body.

There were nine of them in total, and they seemed to contain a massive, strange energy.

Now, one Seal had already been broken, and the second Seal had begun to loosen.

"So this is the reason for Sister Xue's sudden increase in strength?"

Su Yan thought to himself, a look of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Su Yan?"

At this moment, Xiao Panxue came before Su Yan.

Seeing him staring at her in a daze, she waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Su Yan immediately snapped out of it and said, "Sister Xue, give me your hand."

"?"

Xiao Panxue was puzzled, but out of trust in him, she still extended her snow-white, slender hand.

Su Yan smiled in return and, without a word, took hold of it.

He immediately released a sliver of gentle Divine Power and carefully probed into Xiao Panxue's body.

"Su Yan, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Xiao Panxue felt an unstoppable Divine Power enter her, and she couldn't help but feel a bit panicked.

"Bear with it, it will be over soon."

Su Yan said in a gentle, comforting voice as his Divine Power quickly reached the nine Seals.

His Divine Power slowly enveloped the Seals, sensing them carefully, while simultaneously attempting to break them.

"Hmm, it doesn't work?"

To Su Yan's surprise, these nine Seals were as solid as a fortress; even with his Divine Power, he couldn't break them!

No way, he was already a Supreme God now.

Looking across the entire Universe, was there actually something he couldn't handle?

Su Yan refused to believe it. Without harming Xiao Panxue, he tried a few more times, but it remained difficult to break.

Of course, it wasn't that Su Yan had no way to break the Seals.

If he exerted his full strength and used his Divine Power to force them open, the Seals would naturally be resolved.

But that would harm Xiao Panxue.

In front of the flower bed, Su Yan withdrew his Divine Power and asked with a frown, "Sister Xue, what is going on with the Seals in your body?"

Pearl-like beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Panxue's fair forehead.

Her breathing slowly stabilized as she shook her head with a bitter smile, "I don't know either... If it weren't for the battle this afternoon, I would never have known that there were Seals inside me."

Su Yan pondered, "You don't know?"

He then looked up at Xiao Panxue and smiled slightly, "Let's go, I want to see Uncle and Aunt."

"Mm."

Xiao Panxue's complexion recovered, her bright eyes filled with affection as she nodded with a light smile.

In that instant, her charm took on a touch of the girl-next-door.

"Uncle and Aunt aren't asleep yet, are they?"

"No, they are both waiting for you."

With that, Xiao Panxue led the way while Su Yan followed behind.

Having grown accustomed to living in the old, dilapidated residential complex on the outskirts of Jiangnan City, they both felt a bit unnatural walking through this high-end residential complex in the Imperial Capital.

As they walked, Xiao Panxue suddenly turned back and asked with concern, "Su Yan, have you been under a lot of pressure lately?"

"Pressure?" Su Yan expressed confusion.

Xiao Panxue looked up at the starry sky, her eyes shimmering, and explained, "The Divine Realm is coming on aggressively, and all the Heavenly Gods and demons want to destroy Blue Star. But you have to shoulder all of this... Sister is a bit worried about you."

Su Yan laughed, "Don't worry, Sister Xue, this little bit of pressure is nothing to me."

Consequently, he told Xiao Panxue everything that had happened that afternoon, including his Achieve Godhood as a Supreme God.

Xiao Panxue's face lit up with brilliance, her long, beautiful eyes filled with surprise and joy.

The two chatted as they walked.

Soon, they arrived in front of a villa courtyard gate.

Su Yan looked up, but he wasn't very surprised.

After all, given Uncle and Aunt's status and position in China, living in a villa was entirely reasonable.

...

A few minutes later, in the villa's living room.

Xiao Wujin and his wife, Director Zhang, sat on the sofa with smiles on their faces, holding Su Yan's hands and asking him all sorts of questions.

Ever since Su Yan entered the villa, Xiao Panxue, their own daughter, had been left on the sidelines, forcing her to play with her phone.

After some idle chatter, Su Yan's expression became serious, and he asked, "Uncle and Aunt, do you know what is going on with the Seals in Sister Xue's body?"

In his estimation, Xiao Wujin and Director Zhang, as her parents, surely knew about the Seals in Xiao Panxue's body.

Because with their current status, it would be strange if they didn't.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the smiles on the faces of Xiao Wujin and Director Zhang vanished instantly.

The couple, who were big shots in China, exchanged a glance, as if they had made up their minds.

Xiao Wujin sighed, "Su Yan, you are already a god now. There are some things that we know we can no longer hide, so we might as well tell you everything."

Su Yan knew very well what these matters were.

He appeared very calm, looking as if he were willing to listen to the details.

Xiao Wujin lowered his eyelids and said solemnly, "Last time, when you asked me at the Alchemy Department what your Aunt did at the Demon Slaying Institute, I will tell you now."

"Your Aunt is the Director of the Earth Core Research Institute, specifically responsible for researching the Earths Core of Blue Star."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan's brow furrowed instantly, and he looked at his Aunt, Director Zhang.

"Earth Core Research Institute?"

At this, Su Yan couldn't help but think of the Nine Nether Earth Core.

There, he had killed the Nine Nether Demon Emperor and the God of Demons who guarded the depths of the Earths Core.

He had also obtained the Heaven-Destroying Evil God godhead.

And hearing Uncle Xiao say this, could it be that there were also gods in the Earths Core of Blue Star?

Or... were there also godheads?

Otherwise, why would the Demon Slaying Institute specially establish an Earth Core Research Institute to specifically conduct research on it?

Director Zhang felt Su Yan's gaze, and a look of apology appeared on her virtuous face as she said, "Because the Earths Core of Blue Star involves some mysterious existences, it has always been kept at an SSS-level confidentiality stage, which is why you haven't heard of it, Su Yan."

Su Yan suppressed the urge to immediately go to the Earths Core of Blue Star and asked calmly, "Aunt, what is there at the Earths Core?"

Director Zhang shook her head, "It's not clear yet, but one thing is certain: there must be some exceptionally powerful existence there."

Not clear?

So they hadn't reached the Earths Core yet?

Su Yan couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment and grimaced, "Aunt, why are you so certain?"

"Because your mother has been there."

Director Zhang looked at him and said, as if recalling a memory.
