61: He was the good guy, Su Ze was upset

After all of that was done,

Su Shengyuan transformed his innate Spirit Physique, the Nine Yang Heavenly Spirit Body, into the purest Origin Power and fused it with the Prison Suppression Saint Body.

However, it was a pity.

Even with the Fusion of the Nine Yang Heavenly Spirit Body's Origin, the Prison Suppression Saint Body's cultivation progress only increased by a mere sliver.

"The Primordial Forbidden Body is truly a Physique that burns money, but the Divine Might it displays is well worth it."

Su Shengyuan retracted all his Divine Might, his robes fluttering, and he once again returned to his calm demeanor.

Immediately, he bowed respectfully towards the deepest part of the Su Family Ancestral Land!

The majestic figure suspended in the sky then slowly dissipated.

At the same time, an imperial decree was issued from the deepest part of the Ancestral Land, reaching all the Peaks and meridians.

The general meaning was that the Saint position could only belong to Su Shengyuan.

Moreover, it granted Su Shengyuan numerous permissions.

For example, Su Shengyuan could choose any Cultivation Technique from the Sacred Treasure Pavilion, and freely take any Sacred Artifact from the Sacred Artifact Hall.

Even the Human Emperor Pagoda, guarded by the various Sacred Ancestors in the deepest part of the Ancestral Land, Su Shengyuan was granted permission to enter for cultivation.

The Human Emperor Pagoda housed all the Human Emperor's belongings, and even sealed Extreme Dao Emperor Soldiers and Human Emperor Secret Arts, representing the Su Family's strongest foundation.

Such a crucial place was given to Su Shengyuan with free access.

This showed how much the Sacred Ancestors in the Su Family Ancestral Land valued Su Shengyuan.

"Uncles, thank you!"

Su Shengyuan's eyes were calm as he also bowed to the various Meridian Masters.

This humble attitude immediately won over the various Family Elders.

"Haha, Nephew Holy Abyss, you truly gave us a huge surprise."

"The Prison Suppression Saint Body can defy the heavens; in the future, our Su Family will probably produce another Human Emperor."

"Congratulations! I propose that our Su Family celebrate for three days."

"Yes, yes, yes, this matter must be celebrated."

"..."

Looking at this harmonious Family scene, where brothers were kind and respectful.

Su Shengyuan chuckled inwardly.

Only the Tenth Line remained silent.

All of them had gloomy faces.

Su Guo had brought honor to the Tenth Line, but Su Ze had disgraced them, then Su Ze had regained their honor, only to disgrace them again himself.

Such great ups and downs were not something ordinary people could accept.

At this moment, Su Shengyuan walked up to the Tenth Line's Grand Elder.

"Seventh Lord, are you blaming Holy Abyss for being too heavy-handed?"

The Grand Elder's name was Su Hengxing, and he was ranked seventh among the older generation, so the younger generation called him Seventh Lord.

Su Hengxing shook his head, "Accidental injuries are inevitable during a duel. There's nothing to blame; Holy Abyss, don't take it to heart."

Before, Su Shengyuan had helped the Tenth Line out of a difficult situation.

Su Hengxing was grateful in his heart. Now that Su Shengyuan had severely injured Su Ze, he didn't hold much resentment.

Instead, he felt that it was all Su Ze's own doing.

He had openly declared he would kill the Su Family Saint and seize his Saint position, and during the process, he had revealed intense killing intent more than once.

Not to mention Su Shengyuan, even if it were anyone else, they would not have forgiven Su Ze.

And Su Shengyuan had only severely injured Su Ze, with no life-threatening danger, which was completely passive self-defense.

From this perspective, Su Shengyuan indeed had a broad mind, incomparable to ordinary people.

He was a good person!

It wasn't just Su Hengxing; the rest of the Tenth Line thought the same, believing that Su Shengyuan had done the right thing, and instead held quite a bit of resentment towards Su Ze.

Seeing the expressions of these people from the Tenth Line, Su Shengyuan roughly guessed what they were thinking.

He couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Su Ze wanted to rise, but instead ended up being hated by everyone.

One must say, human hearts!

That's just how it is!

Even if Su Ze had displayed terrifying Aptitude this time, his path forward would likely not be easy.

He might even face exclusion!

After all, the Aptitude displayed by Su Shengyuan was many times more Prodigious than Su Ze's.

No matter which meridian, they would know what to do.

Such things as fawning over the powerful are most evident in large families.

However, Su Shengyuan wanted more than just this.

Suppress Su Ze?

That was only the first step; he had to cripple this Son of Destiny.

Otherwise, once Su Ze was given a chance to soar,

Su Shengyuan would be in danger.

The Son of Destiny who emerged from the Su Family was not comparable to those Sons of Destiny from small places.

"Actually, this Saint severely injuring Cousin Su Ze was merely a last resort. Cousin Su Ze's Realm has already reached the Peak, only one step away from entering the Divine Power Realm."

"This Saint did this entirely to put pressure on Cousin Su Ze, so he could use the opportunity to Break Through."

Goodness, Su Shengyuan took all the credit for being a good person.

The Tenth Line instantly cast grateful gazes his way.

Su Hengxing also stroked his beard and smiled, patting Su Shengyuan's shoulder and praising him as a good child.

He even felt ashamed for hiring the Dragon King Palace to assassinate Su Shengyuan.

What a good child he was, yet he had been so blinded by greed that he wanted to kill him.

For a moment, Su Hengxing's heart was filled with guilt!

The Family meeting thus dispersed.

After a brief ripple, the Su Family once again returned to its usual tranquility, but among the various meridians, Su Shengyuan's Divine Might was widely spread.

For a time, Su Shengyuan became the super idol of the younger generation of the Su Family, and no one dared to challenge him again.

...

Tong Xiayue, in an embroidered Phoenix robe, sat gracefully in the courtyard.

Her hands rested uneasily on her slender, beautiful legs.

She seemed very conflicted.

She had specially applied exquisite makeup, her divine and immortal countenance truly breathtakingly beautiful, like a startled swan or a descending goose.

Su Shengyuan, with his hands behind his back, stepped on a long rainbow and landed in the small courtyard.

"Xia Yue seems to be waiting for something?" Su Shengyuan walked over and reached out to hook Tong Xiayue's fair and delicate chin.

Tong Xiayue's eyes darted away, her delicate nose twitching slightly, then she stood up and pulled Su Shengyuan into her boudoir.

"Thank you, Saint, for sparing Su Ze's life. Xia Yue will fulfill her promise."

At that time, when Su Shengyuan was stepping on Su Ze during the Family meeting, Tong Xiayue looked at him with pleading eyes, and at the same time, she slightly parted her lips.

It was in that quiet moment that she completed a transaction with Su Shengyuan, asking him to let Su Ze go.

Not long after!

In the adjacent room.

Su Ze finally woke up from his coma.

While Su Ze was in a daze, he seemed to hear some movement.

Immediately, his expression drastically changed, and boundless rage uncontrollably filled his entire body.

"Su! Sheng! Yuan!"

Su Ze let out a beast-like roar, hearing that sound, he almost fell into madness, wanting to rush over and save Tong Xiayue.

But!

His entire body's bones and tendons were fractured, making it impossible for him to move.

He could only lie there like a corpse.

At this moment, Su Ze's mental state was on the verge of collapse.

But the next sentence directly made Su Ze spit blood from anger.

"Saint, have you ever heard of 'Starting with a roadside stall selling...'"

"..."
