40: The scenery is stunning

"Do you see the city below? You will settle down here. Su Yao, take both families to the administrative office; they will arrange housing for you. I have matters to attend to and will return in an hour."

After witnessing his strength, everyone nodded repeatedly. Then, Li Haotian's figure flickered, and he flew high into the sky, heading straight for the distance.

Now that he rarely had the Cultivation of a Great Emperor, it would be a pity not to go out and explore.

Li Haotian used his Cultivation to tour the scenery of one prefecture after another.

He saw beautiful sights in various places at an extremely fast speed: glaciers, volcanoes, snowfields, deserts, forests, oceans... These places were stunningly beautiful. In some untouched areas of the Human Race, there were even incredibly ferocious Vicious Beasts. He personally witnessed a giant whale, ten thousand zhang tall, leap out of the water, then crash heavily onto the surface, causing a tsunami.

He also saw a golden crocodile lurking in a swamp, its entire body shimmering with golden light, its eyes revealing ferocity.

He even saw a towering tree that actually pulled its roots out of the ground and then quickly ran off into the distance.

Li Haotian was amazed by all of this; it was simply too interesting. He had never seen these things before.

After wandering around, he soon realized his time was almost up, so he once again crossed the Void Realm and returned to the city in Qian Prefecture.

Hiding his aura once more, Li Haotian again became the trash chief in the eyes of the world.

Soon, Li Haotian found the residences of the two families in the city. They were allocated two courtyards, mostly on the same street.

This city was under the jurisdiction of the Sect. Disciples could use their identity Token to secure a residence for their Family members here, and the Heavenly Profound Sect's emblem would be specially hung on their doors.

Those street hooligans who wanted to cause trouble would not dare to provoke anyone living in such houses after seeing these emblems.

Only families whose direct relatives Cultivated in the Heavenly Profound Sect were qualified to hang the Heavenly Profound Sect's emblem on their doors.

Both families held Li Haotian in great awe, not daring to say much, their eyes filled with deep apprehension and gratitude.

"Do not mention my Cultivation to anyone. Thank you."

Li Haotian instructed the two families. Zhang Hai and Su Yao settled their families behind Li Haotian and walked towards the Sect.

"The two of you are the same; do not speak of your Revered Master's Cultivation, or it will give your Revered Master a headache."

Li Haotian wanted to develop discreetly. He would let these Disciples speak of it when he truly became a Great Emperor. Since he hadn't yet, it would be embarrassing if someone challenged him and he was exposed.

Both Disciples nodded, looking at their Revered Master very seriously.

"We respectfully obey Revered Master's command!"

Li Haotian nodded in satisfaction, then walked towards the Sect with his two Disciples. He wasn't busy with anything recently, so he might as well Cultivate his temperament. Li Haotian was still lingering on the scenery he had just seen.

Meanwhile, in the Su Family of Jinyun City.

A servant cleaning the room saw one of the ancestral tablets on the table suddenly shatter. His face immediately changed drastically, and he scrambled out to find Su Ersheng, the Su Family Patriarch Su Yao's father.

"It's bad, Patriarch! It's bad! There's a problem in the ancestral hall! An ancestral tablet shattered!"

The servant ran in, scrambling and crying, his voice choked with sobs. Su Ersheng, who was sitting with his legs crossed, frowned.

"How big of a deal can it be? If someone in the Family dies, arrange a funeral according to the previous standards. Don't bother me for no reason; I'm still waiting for news from the Patriarch."

Su Ersheng took a sip of tea, a look of enjoyment on his face. The servant knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Revered Master, that ancestral tablet seems to belong to the former Patriarch!"

Su Ersheng immediately sat up straight, then slowly slumped back down.

"Impossible. My father is a Saint. How could anyone kill him? He just went to handle the matter of the sinful woman Su Yao and the Zhang Family; there won't be any problems."

Su Ersheng continued to calmly drink his tea. How could his father possibly be in trouble?

The only Saint in the entire Jinyun City, it was absolutely impossible for him to just die like that.

Even if he was ambushed, there would be sounds of fighting, right? The higher the Realm, the harder it is to kill an opponent. While one can defeat an opponent, killing someone of the same Realm is extremely difficult.

The higher the Realm, the more trump cards people have. It's possible that if you try to kill someone without sufficient strength, you might perish with them.

In any case, there should have been some commotion.

"Go see, Patriarch, I really didn't see wrong..."

After the servant finished speaking, blood gushed from his seven orifices, and he died just like that.

Su Ersheng curled his lips. He had forcibly suppressed the other party to death with his aura.

This guy dared to curse his own father to die violently; if not him, then who?

He then continued to leisurely drink tea, not hearing any news until nightfall.

At this moment, Su Yang and Su Aotian walked in from outside, their expressions not looking good.

"Big Brother, has Father returned?"

Su Ersheng was a little puzzled.

"Wasn't Father with you?"

The two exchanged glances, an ominous premonition rising in their hearts. They quickly walked into the ancestral hall and indeed saw the shattered ancestral tablet at the highest position.

Their Su Family's strongest Saint, their only pillar, had died so suddenly and without any warning.

They hadn't even detected any sounds of fighting.

Battles between Saints could easily destroy heaven and earth, move mountains and fill seas; they were clashes between great powers.

Once a battle began, it would be extremely grand, possibly even raging for three days and three nights.

However, when Su Chusheng died, there was no sign, as if he had suddenly perished and vanished into thin air.

Could it be that their Su Family had provoked some unspeakable existence?

Both of them were drenched in cold sweat. If such an existence were to act against the Su Family, the Su Family would likely vanish in an instant.

Li Haotian had indeed thought about acting against the Su Family, but he decided to leave this opportunity to his two Disciples.

It was much better for them to take revenge with their own hands than for him to directly take revenge for them.

This was also why Li Haotian didn't directly annihilate the Su Family when he had the strength of a Great Emperor, but instead went out to wander around.

In fact, Li Haotian had done one more thing.

On Tianzhu Peak, Huang Bocheng, who had worked hard all day, opened his long-treasured immortal brew, preparing to taste its flavor.

Excitedly, he pulled out the cork and placed the bottle under his nose, taking a deep breath.

A strong smell of urine assailed him. Huang Bocheng's face changed drastically, and his furious roar echoed throughout Tianzhu Peak.

"Which bastard did this!!!"
