259: Predicament, Su Chen arrives

Mu Qingling was able to achieve a Breakthrough so quickly partly because her Sword Physique had improved, and partly because her talent for the Sword Dao was quite good, allowing her to rapidly comprehend stronger Sword Dao.

Su Chen said with a smile, "This little girl is working very hard too."

"To be able to comprehend Sword Dao so quickly without a Sword Heart, relying solely on her Sword Physique."

Facing Su Chen's self-muttering, Han Li kept his head lowered, not daring to ask or speak.

The next moment, the figures of the two vanished from where they stood.

Haoyang City, inside the Su Family.

This was a Su Family branch that Su Yunqian had established in Haoyang City; his position remained unchanged from the Lower Realm, and he still held the status of Grand Elder.

As for the position of Family Head, it was, of course, reserved.

Inner Courtyard.

Su Yunqian wore a look of sorrow, his Face filled with helplessness.

Although the Su Family had been relatively safe in Haoyang City these past few years under the protection of Su Xiao.

But their strength was, after all, so weak, and Su Xiao himself needed to improve his Cultivation, so he had no spare resources to give them.

However, given their strength, it was difficult for them to obtain resources in Haoyang City. Many factions, out of respect for Su Xiao's Face, would not specifically target the Su Family, but in this place where the strong roamed, they were unable to do anything.

For nearly a hundred years, the resources distributed to their Su Family had only been one-tenth of the normal amount.

His current Cultivation was only at the Early Stage of Profound Immortal. Because a large amount of resources were used to subsidize the Su Family, he himself had very little left, and on most days, he could only rely on sitting in meditation to Cultivate.

Su Yunqian himself possessed an Immortal Physique, so relying on meditation to Cultivate was incredibly slow; the Immortal Qi he required was dozens or even a hundred times that of a normal Cultivator.

If it hadn't been for the resources Su Chen gave them at the time of their Ascension, they likely wouldn't have even been able to reach the Profound Immortal Realm.

"This won't do; we must seek a new way out."

Su Yunqian felt somewhat haggard in his heart; he was the most important person in the Su Family right now, and if he left, the Su Family would surely fall apart.

Others could leave the Su Family and join other factions, but he could not; Su Yunqian had to preserve the Su Family in Haoyang City.

But if things continued like this, the entire Su Family would fall into a vicious cycle, and everyone's resources for Cultivation would be restricted.

As time went on, they would certainly have complaints.

Su Yunqian immediately fell into sorrow again; with insufficient strength, what solution could he possibly come up with?

At this moment.

In front of the Su Family gate, two guards leaned listlessly against the door.

"Su Kuan, what do you think we should do?"

Su Kuan shook his head powerlessly: "My Cultivation has been stagnant for a thousand years, and I still haven't achieved a Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm; I'm afraid I'm done for."

Su Anpeng looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with nostalgia:

"Thinking back to when we were in the Xuantian Realm, life was so comfortable. Following the Family Head, we ate and drank well, and we didn't have to worry about anything every day; we just had to guard the door."

"And now... we don't even have resources for Cultivation."

"If it really doesn't work out, we should ask the Grand Elder to move. This Haoyang City doesn't suit us; the Su Family's strength is too weak. If we move to a more normal place, with the people we have in the Su Family, would we really need to worry about not having resources to Cultivate?"

It wasn't that they had any dissatisfaction with Su Yunqian, but rather that the Su Family was currently facing a situation, and they hoped to be able to overcome this dilemma.

The people of the Su Family had all ascended from the Xuantian Realm, and they had an extremely deep affection for the Su Family.

Su Kuan shook his head with a bitter smile: "It's not that easy. Although Young Master Su Xiao has joined the Myriad Gods Sect, the Myriad Gods Sect still has hostile factions."

"Haven't you heard? The Water Lotus Sect and the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Gods Sect are mortal enemies, and Su Xiao is the closed-door Disciple of the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Gods Sect. If we leave Haoyang City, could we even survive?"

Hearing this, Su Yunlin's expression stiffened; he clearly hadn't thought of this.

Looking at it this way, joining the sect under the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Gods Sect didn't seem like such a good thing after all.

Su Kuan suddenly looked into the distance: "Young Master Su Xiao hasn't been home in a long time either. Is he in closed-door Cultivation again?"

Su Yunlin shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

Both of them were from the Collateral Branch of the Su Family; back in the Xuantian Realm, they were marginal figures in the Su Family.

However, they had another very crucial identity, which was guarding the door for Su Chen. The two were guards of the Wangyun Courtyard and had followed Su Chen for a long time.

It was just that after later reaching the Great Emperor Extreme Realm, they ascended.

They didn't expect that after arriving in the Immortal Realm, their lives would turn out to be so miserable.

Su Kuan seemed to think of something, and he suddenly said with a firm tone:

"Don't worry, the Family Head will definitely not abandon us. Let's endure for a while longer; once the Family Head ascends, our Su Family will be able to rise."

The Family Head?

Su Yunlin felt somewhat dejected in his heart; if they were in the Xuantian Realm, he would naturally firmly believe that Su Chen was the strongest.

But this was the Immortal Realm!

After witnessing those powerhouses in Haoyang City, that mindset of firmly believing Su Chen was the strongest had quietly changed.

Also, why the Family Head had not ascended yet was also a matter of doubt in his heart.

Was it because the Family Head had enemies in the Immortal Realm?

Or were there other reasons.

But no matter what, the Family Head should be an Immortal Realm Cultivator who entered the Lower Realm to re-Cultivate; he couldn't accurately judge what specific Realm he was at.

But... surely he couldn't be that strong, right?

Sigh!

Su Yunlin sighed in his heart. Now, different opinions were gradually beginning to appear within the clan. If there was no solution, it might not be long before the Haoyang City Su Family disintegrated.

This time it was quite serious.

Once the Su Family truly disintegrated, it would be quite difficult to recall them later on.

Wasn't Ascension just about leaving behind all worldly matters?

If that was the case, what did matters from the Xuantian Realm have to do with the Immortal Realm?

Su Yunlin shook his head, casting aside these chaotic thoughts.

To put it bluntly, I am just a dog of the Su Family.

How can a dog not want its master?

As long as the Su Family didn't abandon him, even if he died and his corpse rotted, he would still stay with the Su Family.

He sighed, sighing for the situation of the Su Family.

Family Head... where are you?

Although Su Yunlin didn't quite believe that Su Chen was also very powerful in the Immortal Realm, only the Family Head could save them now.

Otherwise, they would continue to be trapped in a vicious cycle.

Just at this moment, Su Yunlin, in a daze, looked into the distance and saw an extremely familiar figure walking towards them.

The street was crowded with people, but that figure seemed to have a close-up effect; in his line of sight, there was only that one person.

"Fa... Family Head!"

Su Yunlin immediately exclaimed, rubbing his eyes repeatedly, thinking he had seen wrong.

Upon hearing this, Su Kuan couldn't help but laugh: "Su Yunlin, what kind of dream talk are you speaking? Where would a Family Head come from?"

While speaking, he followed Su Yunlin's line of sight and looked toward the street.

The next moment, Su Kuan's expression immediately froze, and his whole body solidified on the spot like a sculpture.

"Family Head!?"
