165: I have no way to repay you, I can only...

"Revered Master, I'm back! Did you miss me?"

Su Changqing said, climbing onto Gu Xiran's bed, his face full of smiles.

Revered Master's icy face slowly melted, and her proud lips curled slightly upward:

"I didn't miss you."

As Gu Xiran spoke, her languid body shifted, placing her jade-like feet on Su Changqing's chest.

Immediately, a fragrant scent wafted over.

One had to admit, Revered Master's jade-like feet were truly perfect, exquisitely fragrant, making one's mouth water.

Su Changqing chuckled:

"How can Revered Master lie to such an obedient disciple?"

With that, Su Changqing flipped over, and the dynamic of offense and defense instantly shifted.

Gu Xiran smiled softly.

Before long, the sounds within the Immortal Cave gradually grew louder.

Time passed quickly.

After Su Changqing returned to Tai Xuan Sect, he also relaxed for a period.

Two days later!

Su Changqing and his beloved Revered Master exchanged smiles, their expressions very relaxed.

Gu Xiran's gaze towards Su Changqing was filled with endless affection, the admiration in her eyes almost solidifying, her eyes practically glistening.

Of course, this was within the Immortal Cave; if they were outside, they would naturally need to be more discreet.

"The Fallen Immortal Tomb is about to open. Do you want to go in?"

Gu Xiran asked.

Su Changqing smiled and nodded:

"Naturally. This kind of top-tier Secret Realm is something ordinary people wouldn't encounter in dozens of lifetimes. How could I not go in?"

How could he miss such a Secret Realm?

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiran frowned slightly, a bit conflicted:

"But this Secret Realm is unusual. Martial Artists of all races will all enter, and any Martial Artist below the Saint Realm can enter. In other words, many Supreme Realm Peak Martial Artists will enter. Your cultivation level will make it very dangerous for you to enter.

Why not give your token to a Supreme Realm Martial Artist from the sect to enter? As a Saint, if you obtain treasures, you certainly won't get any less."

Out of concern for Su Changqing's safety, Gu Xiran spoke.

However, Su Changqing smiled and shook his head:

"Don't worry, Revered Master. Since I've chosen to go in, I'm certainly confident. With my current cultivation, even a Supreme Realm Peak Martial Artist wouldn't be able to harm me in the slightest."

Gu Xiran: "????"

Hearing Su Changqing's words, Gu Xiran was instantly stunned, her eyes flashing with deep disbelief.

What?

Is that true?

An Emperor Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist, whose combat power is so strong that even a Supreme Realm Peak Martial Artist cannot harm him in the slightest—if this were to spread, no one would dare to believe it.

If someone else had said this, Gu Xiran would certainly not believe it, but coming from Su Changqing's mouth, she naturally wouldn't doubt it, though she was still shocked in her heart.

"Moreover, I'm not going in alone. Immortal Master Heishui will also accompany me. And there's still a month and a half until the Secret Realm opens. During this time, I might even acquire a few more tokens, and then several Supreme Realm Martial Artists will accompany me."

Hearing Su Changqing say this, Gu Xiran no longer had a reason to object. Although she was worried about his safety, Gu Xiran knew that Su Changqing, this Wicked disciple, had his own ideas.

Furthermore, the decisions he made were unchangeable; even if she was his Revered Master, she couldn't change them in the slightest.

"Alright, if you insist on entering, I can't stop you. But remember, the treasures within the Secret Realm are secondary; your safe return is the most important thing!"

Gu Xiran said sternly.

The treasures within the Secret Realm, even if they could lead to a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm or even the legendary Immortal, she didn't care much about them, as long as Su Changqing could come out alive.

Su Changqing smiled upon hearing this, a warm current flowing through his heart.

"Don't worry, Revered Master. I'm not that kind of hothead."

Gu Xiran nodded.

That was true. Su Changqing, this kid, was cunning and cautious, with eight hundred tricks up his sleeve; he really wasn't a hothead.

Therefore, Gu Xiran didn't try to persuade him further.

Su Changqing chuckled and directly hugged Revered Master.

"Thank you for your concern, Revered Master. Your disciple has no way to repay you, so I can only... hehehe."

One day later.

Su Changqing walked out of Revered Master's Immortal Cave with a chuckle and returned to his own residence to cultivate.

However, at this moment, Ying Zhao was extremely furious.

He had investigated Yuan Demon City for two days and two nights but found nothing. The traces were cleaned up very thoroughly, as if nothing had happened.

But he knew that the last place Ying Jue appeared before his death was here.

Therefore, in a fit of rage, he slaughtered all the Martial Artists in the entire Yuan Demon City, leaving no survivors. But even after doing all this, Ying Zhao was still not appeased, as the murderer of his son had not yet been found.

"My Lord, there are still no traces found."

A Saint Realm Middle Stage Great Yao respectfully said.

To search for traces of Ying Jue's death, Ying Zhao directly dispatched ten Saint Realm Great Yao to search for traces, but to this day, there has been no clue.

He grunted, his eyes flashing with endless killing intent.

"No need to search. To be able to dispatch at least two Saint Realm Middle Stage Martial Artists, and within such a short period, aside from the Demon Race, no other race would have the opportunity."

"This place is closest to Fire Demon King's territory. In my opinion, this matter is absolutely inseparable from him!"

Ying Zhao's eyes flashed with intense rage.

"Then... what should we do? Are we just going to let it go?"

The Saint Realm Middle Stage Great Yao asked cautiously.

"Just let it go?"

Ying Zhao sneered, his burning rage seemingly ablaze.

"If I just let it go, how can I face my son?"

"If Fire Demon King killed my son, then I will slaughter all of his descendants."

Ying Zhao said decisively.

However, upon hearing these words, the Great Yao all showed expressions of shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"My Lord, if that's the case, then we and Fire Demon King will be completely at odds, and even our Yao Race and the Demon Race will erupt into a great war because of this."

"That's right, My Lord. Our Yao Race has already formed enmity with the God Race before. If we form enmity with the Demon Race again, I'm afraid our Yao Race will be in danger."

"That's right, My Lord, please reconsider."

The Yao Race Saint Realm Great Yao all advised against it.

If they formed enmity with Fire Demon King because of this, it would not be a good thing for the entire Yao Race.

However, listening to the advice of the Saint Realm Great Yao, Ying Zhao snorted coldly, the anger in his eyes still not dissipating.

"It's my son who died, not yours!"

"If I just let it go, how will I rule the Yao Race in the future!"

"Is our Yao Race going to be weaker than the Demon Race because of this?"

Hearing Ying Zhao's words, the Saint Realm Great Yao all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Indeed, this kind of pain of losing a child was something they could not understand, nor did they dare to refute.

"Issue my command: hunt down Fire Demon King's descendants. I will not be stingy with rewards. The more you kill, the more I will reward!"
