73: I have the greatest pleasure in destroying geniuses like you.
What Su Chen wanted to do now was watch the Su Family grow step by step; as for matters of romance, he didn't want to consider them for the time being.
Besides, the things he had obtained through signing in couldn't exactly be called invincible.
Except for that Xu Xiaoque summoning card, he truly didn't have much confidence.
Although he still had billions of years of cultivation, could this cultivation really allow him to reach the absolute Peak of this world?
Not necessarily.
Therefore, Su Chen didn't want to add too many entanglements; the Su Family alone was enough.
What if he encountered a powerhouse he couldn't resolve at all?
Su Chen's sign-in System yielded better things the longer he signed in, and he also wanted to see what kind of good things he could get after another million years.
After all, after a million years, he had signed in and received something like the Xu Xiaoque summoning card.
Could he also summon other characters?
For example, characters like Xiao Yan and Ye Fan.
When the time comes, he could just gather a bunch of them to play mahjong; the thought of it was quite exciting.
But with them only lasting for ten seconds, it might be a bit difficult.
But that's not an issue; who's to say that after signing in for several million years, he wouldn't be able to summon them permanently?
Such a possibility wasn't non-existent.
However, these people were so powerful; what if he couldn't control them?
...
Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye.
In these thirty years, Su Chen hadn't changed much, and he could always find many things to enjoy, such as fishing or listening to music in the pleasure houses, so it wasn't very lonely.
In any case, it was much better than when he first transmigrated and stayed in the System's Void Space.
It was precisely because of those million years in the Void Space that he was now very interested in even very ordinary things.
Like fishing, for instance.
If it were any other Cultivator, they would definitely find it incredibly boring, but Su Chen enjoyed it.
In thirty years, the Jinghong Empire had undergone massive changes.
Su Hongyuan broke through to the Perfection of the Return to Origin Stage and was currently in seclusion polishing his Realm, preparing to break through to the Dao-Entry Realm.
Su Qingtian also broke through to the Early Stage of the Return to Origin Stage, while the other Elders had only reached the Perfection of the Body Integration Stage.
The Su Family had recruited countless experts and powerhouses over these thirty years. When they first arrived at Mount Wangyun, the population was only over a thousand, but now the Su Family had nearly one hundred thousand people.
Most of these were servants who had submitted to the Su Family; true Su Family members, even those from collateral branches, only accounted for a small fraction.
Looking down from Mount Wangyun now, the entire foot of the mountain was still filled with houses, resembling a small city.
Among these one hundred thousand people, not every single one served the Su Family; many were their family members who had settled at the foot of the mountain, which was why there were so many people.
However, there still weren't many people from the mountainside up, as only those from at least a Collateral Branch were allowed to live there.
The Zixia Mountain Range was now completely under the Su Family's control, and no outsiders were permitted to enter.
For the past ten years, the Jinghong Empire had been presenting grand gifts to the Su Family every year, giving off the distinct feeling of being a vassal.
But this was also normal; the Su Family's strength was too great. If the Su Family wanted to seize the Jinghong Empire, it would be an extremely simple matter.
...
Dingyang County.
Sunset Sect.
This Sect was founded by Su Yuze of the Su Family. Because his own cultivation was strong enough and he relied on the Su Family, its development had been smooth sailing.
Now, the entire Falling Cloud Sect was considered a major power within Dingyang County, with nearly three thousand people in its ranks.
Su Yuze himself had even grown to Half-Step Body Integration.
This was only a part of the Su Family; with the Su Family's direct descendants constantly branching out and flourishing outside, the Su Family's power was actually extremely vast, definitely not limited to the one hundred thousand people at the foot of Mount Wangyun.
Today.
Outside the peaceful Falling Cloud Sect, a group of figures appeared. They were all dressed in black robes with the character 'Yin' embroidered on them, and their entire bodies released a cold, sinister aura.
"Sect Head, this is the Falling Cloud Sect. According to the information, Su Yuze is definitely inside the Falling Cloud Sect right now."
Standing at the very front was a cold-looking middle-aged man. His eyes were filled with frost, as if he were a cold-blooded animal without emotions.
Yang Leng nodded indifferently. "Since the information is confirmed, then gather everyone. When the time is right, we will destroy the Falling Cloud Sect."
The Grand Elder nodded immediately, his face showing some excitement:
"I don't know who this Su Family offended, but a public bounty was posted in the Hidden Sentry. Assisting in the killing of a single Su Family direct descendant is worth two million High-Grade Spirit Stones and three Earth Rank weapons."
"If we can destroy the Su Family, our Jiyin Sect will surely be able to take another step forward."
At this time, the Second Elder suddenly spoke with a deep frown.
"Grand Elder, you should still be a bit careful. Although our Jiyin Sect has three Late Stage Return to Origin Stage experts and the Sect Head, a Half-step Dao-Entry Realm expert, overseeing things."
"The Su Family shouldn't be underestimated. For them to grow to this stage in such a short time, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
The Grand Elder sneered, "What is the Second Elder worried about? Have you forgotten who it was that posted the public bounty this time?"
Hearing this, the Second Elder fell silent after a moment of contemplation.
Indeed, the strength of the person who posted the bounty in the Hidden Sentry this time was far too great.
The Su Family didn't even have a single Dao-Entry Realm expert; it was absolutely impossible for them to stop that person.
Their mission this time wasn't to destroy the Su Family themselves, but to lure the Su Family members out. When the time came, that person would be the main one to act, and they would merely be assisting from the side.
To post a mission in the Hidden Sentry, one must hand over the mission rewards to the Hidden Sentry beforehand, and once a mission is accepted, the person who posted it cannot harm the one who accepted it.
It could be said that the Hidden Sentry had very strict requirements; if their rules were violated, one would be hunted down by Hidden Sentry assassins.
As a Saint-Grade power that struck terror into the hearts of people in the Eastern Region, no one wanted to offend the Hidden Sentry.
Therefore, they were very much at ease, not worrying at all about the person who posted the mission betraying them.
Yang Leng suddenly spoke at this moment, "Alright, almost everyone has arrived. It's time for us to act."
Hearing these words, the people beside him all revealed cold smiles.
In an instant, several terrifying auras erupted, immediately enveloping the entire Falling Cloud Sect.
The terrifying pressure caused everyone within the Falling Cloud Sect to show expressions of terror.
Some quick-reacting Elders suddenly shouted toward the interior of the Sect.
"Enemy attack! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
The words had barely left his mouth when a distant blade light directly cut him down.
Su Yuze rushed out from the Sect, his expression solemn to the extreme:
"Which expert has come to attack my Falling Cloud Sect? Do you dare to leave your name!"
Even as he said this, he quickly sent a message to the Su Family. The auras of these people were extremely powerful, at least all being Return to Origin Stage Cultivators; these were powerhouses he currently couldn't resolve.
Yang Leng's figure appeared instantly, and he directly raised his hand to strike a palm down toward Su Yuze.
The terrifying force fell, and Su Yuze felt as if his entire body was falling apart as he smashed directly into the Sect grounds. The dull thud was hair-raising to hear.
The sound was like someone falling from the fifth floor and hitting the ground heavily.
Yang Leng looked down mockingly and said contemptuously, "Just a Void Refining Stage ant, yet you think you're worthy of knowing our names?"
"Su Yuze, the Jinghong Empire calls you a Genius Sect Head. I heard you broke through to Half-Step Body Integration before the age of sixty; such cultivation speed is not at all inferior even when compared to the prodigies of those Holy Lands."
"Unfortunately... you ultimately don't have the background of a Holy Land."
The corners of Yang Leng's mouth curled up slightly as a playful expression appeared on his face. "I love destroying geniuses like you the most."
