129: Ye Qingling's longing

Ye Wushang turned his head and looked at Ye Qingling, who was lying by the iron bars, a flash of heartache in his eyes.

Eventually, he took a deep breath.

"I thought you didn't care about anything anymore."

Ye Wushang said indifferently, then continued, "The Su Family is doing very well, better than ever before."

Upon hearing this, a puzzled expression appeared on Ye Qingling's face; clearly, she was unsure what Ye Wushang meant.

Ye Wushang continued, "You know the situation in the Eastern Region. The Spiritual Qi there is thin, and reaching the Saint King Realm is already near the peak; it is incredibly difficult to go any further."

"But now, the Eastern Region has surpassed the other three regions, and the fundamental reason for this is the Su Family."

"Su Qingtian is living well, though he hasn't appeared in recent years. I estimate he is likely devouring the Origin of a Devil King."

"As for my little nephew..."

Ye Wushang paused, a look of shock emerging in his eyes. "Su Chen destroyed the Guixu Holy Land, which was a vassal of our Ye Family, killed three Devil Kings of the Demon Realm, and just two days ago, he slew four Ancient Saint powerhouses, including one Innate Early Stage Ancient Saint."

After finishing, he took a deep look at Ye Qingling.

"Perhaps you don't need to sever ties with them; it won't be long before the Su Family comes knocking."

"Your child, Su Chen, he is now a Supreme Saint!"

"Huh?"

Ye Qingling heard these words and immediately wore a bewildered expression.

Clearly, Ye Wushang's words were difficult for her to understand and accept.

It had only been a few hundred years; how could Su Chen have already reached the Supreme Saint Realm?

This was too absurd.

In the entire Xuantian Realm, from ancient times to the present, there has almost never been anyone who could break through to the Supreme Saint Realm within a few hundred years; such a person does not exist.

At the Saint Realm, if one could make a Breakthrough every few hundred years, they would be considered a peerless Genius.

Just like Ye Wushang; he is the number one Genius of the Ye Family, and among his peers in the entire Xuantian Realm, he is a peerless Prodigy who can be ranked in the top three.

But even so, it took him three thousand years to reach the Ancient Saint Realm.

Even many Heaven-Defying Great Emperors of the past could not have reached the Supreme Saint Realm within a few hundred years.

Being able to reach the Ancient Saint Realm in a thousand years is already extremely Heaven-Defying, let alone the Supreme Saint Realm.

After Ye Qingling reacted, she said in disbelief, "Brother, how is this possible? Stop teasing me, tell me the truth. As long as they are safe and sound, I will be happy."

Clearly, she did not believe Ye Wushang's words at all.

A look of disbelief also appeared on Ye Wushang's face, and he said firmly, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"The Su Family has changed a lot in these short few decades, and the Eastern Region has changed greatly as well. You will know all of this when you come out."

"However, now that Su Qingtian has leaped over the Dragon Gate and soared to the skies, will he still remember his wife from hundreds of years ago?"

When Ye Wushang first learned that Ye Qingling was with Su Qingtian, he was furious. He shared the thoughts of the older generation in the clan, feeling that Su Qingtian had tarnished Ye Qingling and the Bloodline of their Ye Family. Su Qingtian was just an ordinary person; how could he be worthy of the Ye Family's direct-line Prodigy? Ye Wushang once had the thought of wiping out the Su Family, but Ye Qingling was his own sister, and after her constant pleading, he eventually let the Su Family go. He even secretly helped them when they were being hunted by the Family. Otherwise, the Su Family would have been wiped out long ago. This matter had a huge impact on him, essentially defying the arrangements within the clan. At that time, some people in the clan even wanted to cultivate someone else to replace him. Later, he relied on his own talent and means to be the first to break through to the Ancient Saint Realm, which erased those disadvantages.

Watching Ye Wushang's firm expression, Ye Qingling was stunned.

"Is it true?"

She believed that Ye Wushang would not lie to her, nor did he have any reason to.

"But... for Su Chen to break through to the Supreme Saint Realm in a few hundred years, isn't that too terrifying?"

"Could it be that he obtained some Great Emperor's Legacy, or perhaps an Immortal Secret Realm?"

Ye Qingling calmed her emotions, and a confident smile appeared on her face. "Brother, you don't understand him. If he has the ability, he will definitely come to find me."

Regardless, as long as they are safe, Ye Qingling will be at ease.

Watching her confident and firm appearance, Ye Wushang stopped himself from speaking, but in the end, he didn't say anything more.

Actually, he did not trust Su Qingtian very much, and he even felt that Su Qingtian might not remember Ye Qingling at all, as hundreds of years had passed.

The current Su Qingtian might even think that Ye Qingling is already dead.

Ye Wushang said indifferently, "Let's hope so."

After speaking, he turned and left.

The dungeon quickly fell into silence again. Ye Qingling stood up and walked to the only window that could see the outside world, her eyes full of anticipation and longing.

"Qingtian, Chener!"

Muttering, a look of reminiscence appeared on Ye Qingling's face, as if she were recalling the happy times she spent with Su Qingtian.

Many people in the clan had questioned her, asking why she fell for someone as mediocre as Su Qingtian.

Actually, she didn't know the specific reason; she just felt that when she was with Su Qingtian, she felt very relaxed, happy, and at ease.

When she was with him, there was not the slightest bit of pressure.

Ye Qingling looked at the outside world, her mood fluctuating violently.

The Su Family of the past was indeed very ordinary, and it would be difficult for them to even break through to the Saint Realm in a lifetime, let alone come into contact with their social class.

Therefore, Ye Qingling had despaired, and she had even prepared to spend the rest of her life in the dungeon.

But now it is different.

Ye Wushang's words had given her hope again, the hope of seeing Su Qingtian and Su Chen in the future.

It was precisely because of this that her dead, silent heart rippled once again.

Gradually, the dungeon fell into silence again, and no sound came out.

...

Eastern Region.

Mount Wangyun.

When Zhao Qi returned to the Su Family, he did not choose to hide anything, but told them everything.

When the people of the Su Family learned of Su Chen's strength, they were all shocked beyond words.

Su Chen is actually a Supreme Saint!?

In fact, such things had happened many times, but every time, Su Chen's strength left them feeling incredulous. In just a few hundred years, their Su Family had gone from a small place like Bright Moon City to becoming the masters of the Eastern Region.

And Su Chen had even become a Supreme Saint!

All of this was simply too outrageous; it even felt like a dream.

When Su Chen wiped out the three Devil Kings a few years ago, it had already shocked them immensely, and now he had directly wiped out four Ancient Saint-level powerhouses.

Su Chen's strength was becoming more and more terrifying and shocking with each instance.

The meeting hall was silent for a long time, everyone wearing expressions of shock, unable to recover for a long while.

After a good while, Su Qingyun finally spoke:

"Announce this to the Eastern Region. Our Su Family has controlled the Eastern Region for a short time, and this action by Su Chen can be considered as establishing prestige for our Su Family."

Although the Su Family had become the masters of the Eastern Region, it was not that unbreakable, and there were still many forces stirring in the shadows.

Now that Su Chen has slain the four Ancient Saints, it will allow the Su Family to be more secure in the Eastern Region.
