691: Master
Since You Lin had already said so, Su Chen naturally didn't bother with more nonsense and accompanied her to the You Family residence.
Very soon.
They arrived at the You Family estate.
The members of the You Family, who had already received the news, were waiting at the entrance to welcome them. Leading them was You Sen. Seeing Su Chen approach, he hurriedly stepped forward, his face full of apology:
"Mister, I offended you before. I hope you can forgive me."
Su Chen only gave him a fleeting glance, not bothering to pay him any mind, and simply said calmly, "Lead the way."
With that said...
Seeing Su Chen's flat attitude, You Sen sighed helplessly in his heart, but he still dutifully led the way ahead.
They soon arrived at You Mo's courtyard. Su Chen was led into the room, where he saw You Mo lying on the bed, his face haggard and his body skeletal. His eyes were full of weakness, as if his entire being had been drained dry.
In just a few days, You Mo's condition had begun to decline rapidly, looking as though he was almost on the brink of death.
Seeing You Mo like this, You Lin's eyes instantly turned red as she ran over. "Father, I have brought that Great Master."
You Mo struggled to open his eyes. Upon seeing Su Chen, a longing for life immediately flickered in his gaze. Although he didn't know if Su Chen could save him, this was his only chance.
"Mister... save me."
Su Chen, however, was unhurried. He observed for a moment and said, "The curse has fully taken effect. You likely have less than a day to live."
One day!
The expressions of the You Family members present changed drastically.
But You Mo's condition was indeed extremely poor. Even without an investigation, one could tell from his mental state and Physical Body that You Mo likely did not have much time left.
Hearing these words, You Mo became somewhat agitated, his face filled with a pleading look.
"I beg Mister to save my life!"
"Whatever you want, the You Family can give it to you."
You Mo's tone was urgent. He didn't want to die; it could be said that no one wants to die.
Su Chen remained very calm. He pondered for a moment and then said in a tranquil voice, "How about this? Use all the current wealth of your You Family to trade for your life."
"Of course, not every single thing of value, just everything inside your You Family's treasury."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the You Family members present shifted slightly. The You Family had developed to this day, and their treasury contained countless treasures. This price was perhaps a bit too high.
Seeing that no one spoke, the corners of Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly. "What, unwilling?"
Before You Mo could speak, You Lin spoke up first. "Mister, we are willing. Please, save my father."
Su Chen shook his head. "No rush. Get the things ready first."
This... A You Family Elder couldn't help but ask, "Mister, if the Family Head is saved, can his cultivation be restored?"
There were many things in their You Family, and there were also Elders at the Late Stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm. Those resources were almost enough for an Elder to achieve a Breakthrough to Half-step Immortal King.
If he was restored but was only at the Early Stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, then this would indeed be somewhat not worth it.
You Lin's expression instantly stiffened, and she questioned with some anger, "Third Elder, what do you mean by this!"
The Third Elder quickly laughed it off. "I was just asking casually."
At this moment, Su Chen interrupted them.
"Of course it can be restored. Not only can it be restored, there is even a chance to Breakthrough to Immortal King. This curse devours everything of the You Family Head. If the curse backfires, the person behind the curse will naturally be devoured as well, and then it will be returned to the You Family Head."
Hearing this, the crowd no longer hesitated and began to gather everything in the You Family.
They weren't worried about Su Chen deceiving them. After all, with so many experts in the You Family, if he really tricked them, Su Chen would definitely not be able to walk out of the You Family.
In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, everything was packed into spatial rings. Su Chen did a simple check, nodded, and then put them away.
Everyone immediately focused their gaze on Su Chen's hand. They saw him slightly raise his hand and then place it over You Mo's chest.
In an instant.
Strands of black Qi surfaced on You Mo's body, along with lines of black patterns. A soft light emanated from Su Chen's hand, and those black patterns quickly turned into black smoke and dissipated.
"Ah!"
A shrill, miserable scream rang out in everyone's ears, but it wasn't You Mo's voice. The sound came from the Void Realm, clearly reaching their ears, yet they were unable to capture exactly where the source of the sound was.
Along with the dissipation of the black patterns, You Mo's body began to fill out. His previously lost cultivation began to recover rapidly. In just a few breaths, he returned to the Half-step Immortal King level once again.
You Mo sat up in disbelief.
"I... have recovered!?"
Immediately following that, a majestic aura emanated from his body. His cultivation quickly broke through to the Immortal King Realm. A terrifying pressure filled the room, making everyone feel their hearts skip a beat.
Seeing this scene, the members of the You Family all showed expressions of excitement.
Originally, they felt a bit of heartache about giving up all the You Family's wealth, but now, seeing You Mo Breakthrough to Immortal King, that heartache vanished without a trace.
After all, those things were completely incomparable to possessing an Immortal King.
Possessing an Immortal King meant that their You Family could be considered one of the top-tier forces and had also become the overlord of the entire Liuyun City.
You Mo recovered from his joy. He was just about to properly thank Su Chen when he realized that Su Chen's figure was no longer in the room.
"Where is that Mister?"
Everyone immediately reacted and looked toward the place where Su Chen had been standing, but Su Chen was nowhere to be found. He had vanished right before their eyes.
The members of the You Family all showed looks of shock. One must know that there were several Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level experts here, yet they hadn't noticed at all when Su Chen left.
"An expert, he really is an expert!"
"I thought he was just a fraud, but I didn't expect him to truly have such ability. It seems this person is definitely no ordinary man; he might even be an Immortal Lord or even an Immortal Venerable expert."
"Our You Family was actually able to receive the favor of such a powerhouse."
Discussions continued to ring out.
However, You Mo had a solemn expression as he quickly ordered, "Quickly send out orders for everyone to continue searching for that Mister. No matter the cost, we must try to invite him to our You Family."
Hearing this, the others quickly left to carry out the orders.
You Mo didn't really expect to invite Su Chen back; his idea was to use this method to show sufficient respect to Su Chen.
As long as Su Chen could remember their You Family, even just a tiny impression would be enough...
