386: Yang Family Conspiracy

At the same time.

Inside the City Lord's Estate, Yang Wuhao stood up abruptly. He looked in Su Chen's direction, his eyes filled with extreme gravity.

The Dominator Realm!

Who is it?

A Dominator Realm Cultivator in this Azure Heaven Realm would be considered a top-tier powerhouse.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression gradually turned gloomy.

It wasn't because Su Chen had killed someone from the Wang Family; to him, the Wang Family was just a dog that could be replaced at any time.

Moreover, Su Chen had only killed an Immortal Lord. He certainly wouldn't provoke a Dominator Realm powerhouse for the sake of an Immortal Lord; that would be nothing short of foolish behavior.

But.

Su Chen had helped Yue Ning'er.

On the surface, the Yue Family's current crisis was a clash with another Immortal Emperor-level power, but in reality, his Yang Family was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

As a core member of the Yang Family, he knew some of the reasons.

The Yue Family's ancestors had once produced Dominator Realm Cultivators and were even connected to the Pingxuan Empire's Imperial Family back then. Unfortunately, they had declined later for certain reasons.

Through a stroke of luck, the Yang Family discovered the Yue Family's deepest secret. It was said that the item possessed the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth, allowing an Immortal Emperor to achieve a Breakthrough to the Dominator Realm.

Thus, the Yang Family had orchestrated this conspiracy specifically targeting the Yue Family.

Now, just as the Yue Family was about to be destroyed, Su Chen suddenly appeared. If he weren't a Dominator Realm Cultivator, Yang Wuhao wouldn't have thought much of it.

But he happened to be one.

And he had even helped Yue Ning'er at the Hundred Birds Tower.

No matter how one looked at it, this matter was a bit strange.

"Could this person be from the Imperial Family?"

"No, it's impossible. I've seen almost all of the Imperial Family's Dominator Realm Cultivators, and none of them match this person's appearance."

Yang Wuhao's expression was somewhat grave.

Soon, his Face gradually turned cold.

"So what if he's a Dominator Realm Cultivator? My Yang Family also has two Dominators and one half-step Dominator. If you dare to meddle in these muddy waters, even a Dominator is not unkillable."

Yang Wuhao was very confident in this point.

His Yang Family was considered a first-rate power in the entire Pingxuan Empire, to the point that even the Imperial Family had to give them some Face. A lone Dominator Realm Cultivator thinking he could interfere in their business simply didn't have the qualifications.

Yang Wuhao's figure instantly vanished from the spot. He was going to Kaiming County to send a message to the Yang Family. Since Su Chen's purpose was unknown, it was best to take precautions in advance.

If Su Chen really intended to get involved in the Yue Family's affairs, they could prepare early... On the other side.

Huang Ying looked somewhat nervous. She followed behind Su Chen, glancing around from time to time, deeply afraid that the Wang Family would send people again.

But until they walked into the restaurant, no one came again.

"Don't worry, the Wang Family won't dare to come again."

Su Chen's calm voice rang out.

Huang Ying was suddenly startled.

Won't dare?

Her cultivation Realm was very weak. Although Su Chen had released his cultivation for a brief moment earlier, she couldn't see through his specific Realm; she only knew he was very strong.

But the Wang Family's prestige had been established for a long time, and it was hard for her to believe that Su Chen was a match for the Wang Family.

Now, Su Chen's words made her daze slightly.

Could it be... this lord's strength is such that even the Wang Family doesn't dare to provoke him?

Huang Ying wasn't sure about this, but Su Chen had indeed helped her. Thus, Huang Ying knelt directly and kowtowed to Su Chen, saying, "This girl thanks you for your help, Lord."

Su Chen didn't speak but turned and returned to the room.

Outside, many people who had gathered suddenly snapped out of it, their Faces carrying expressions of gravity.

"Something's not right. Why does this person look so familiar? I just came from the Hundred Birds Tower; he looks a bit like the one who put up thirty five-colored stones at once."

"It really seems to be him. No wonder he could put up thirty five-colored stones at once; turns out he's an Immortal Emperor powerhouse."

"It seems the Wang Family has indeed kicked a steel plate this time. Although they have the City Lord as their backer, the other party is an Immortal Emperor after all. Would the City Lord really become enemies with an Immortal Emperor for the sake of an Immortal Lord?"

As the discussions rang out, the events that had occurred here quickly spread through the city.

Many people had long been displeased with the Wang Family. Seeing the Wang Family suffer a setback now naturally made them incredibly happy, though everyone only discussed it in private.

The Wang Family was still the Wang Family, after all; not someone they could afford to provoke.

After that, Su Chen's life returned to peace, and no one came to disturb him again.

A few days later, Wushi came to find him once, saying he was leaving Qingluan City to go out and gain experience.

For this former eternal emperor of the Profound Sky Realm, Su Chen also thought very highly of him.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Huang Ying was still acting as his guide, taking him around the city. Qingluan City was very large; even after three months, he still hadn't visited most parts of the city.

However, on this day, an uninvited guest came to the door.

Wind and Rain Pavilion.

This was the place where Su Chen was currently staying.

At this moment, he looked up with a somewhat surprised expression.

"Yue Ning'er?"

Han Xi immediately responded respectfully, "Yes."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. What did this girl want with him?

Could it be that she wanted him to help resolve the Yue Family's predicament?

Having stayed in Qingluan City for so long, although he hadn't deliberately sought information about the Yue Family, people around were often discussing it.

So he still had a general understanding of the Yue Family's situation.

In summary, the Yue Family's old rival had another Immortal Emperor achieve a Breakthrough, while the Yue Family only had one Immortal Emperor, which left the Yue Family in a precarious state.

"Let her in."

Soon, a white figure appeared at the door. Her figure was graceful, her skirt hem edged with green patterns, and she had a fresh and refined aura about her.

This person was none other than Yue Ning'er.

Different from their last meeting, this time Yue Ning'er was wearing a long white dress, giving off a completely different feeling.

Han Xi said with a smile, "Young Miss Ning'er, please."

Yue Ning'er nodded gently to Han Xi and then looked into the room somewhat nervously. Since the room Su Chen stayed in was the best, it was quite large, and she couldn't see Su Chen from where she was.

After Yue Ning'er walked inside, Han Xi gently pulled the door shut and stood at the entrance.

The room was very quiet, and Yue Ning'er's heart grew slightly nervous.

Taking the initiative to seek out Su Chen this time was a decision she had made with great determination.

Mainly because she really had no other way; her Family was about to Face the crisis of annihilation, and she could only take the initiative to seek a chance at survival.

According to the previous rumors, this person's cultivation was that of a terrifying Dominator Realm powerhouse. If he were willing to help, then their Yue Family would be saved.

Su Chen had put up thirty five-colored stones for her at the Hundred Birds Tower; from this point, it wasn't hard to see that he was at least interested in her.

Thinking of this, Yue Ning'er's nervousness intensified.

She walked further inside and soon saw Su Chen standing by the window with his hands behind his back. Yue Ning'er couldn't help but swallow. She immediately curtsied, and her melodious, pleasant voice rang out:

"This girl, Yue Ning'er, pays respects to the Lord."
