One person established a clan

Chapter 170 Ripples Enter the Heart
"That terrifying pressure...has disappeared?"

Inside the trial hall, the cultivators looked at each other, still shaken.

Just moments ago, it seemed as if a terrifying demon was about to appear, but in the blink of an eye, that aura suddenly vanished without a trace.

"Has the demon already broken through the secret realm, or...?"

Everyone speculated, but the white-bearded old man, calculating with his fingers, looked increasingly surprised and uncertain.

While others couldn't see through it, he clearly sensed that the ancient dragon's scales had truly disappeared.

"Someone actually managed to seal away such an evil entity?"

"seal?"

Upon hearing this, cultivators from all sides held their breath.

Even the two Spirit Profound cultivators present showed surprise.

Even they weren't entirely confident of defeating that aura just now. But now...
The Crown Prince clenched his fists and quickly exchanged a glance with Master Wei beside him, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Sect Leader Wei, your invitation was truly wise!"

If it weren't for Su Cheng's presence, the various factions present would likely have suffered heavy losses.

Sect Leader Wei chuckled to himself. Although he knew Su Cheng's methods were extraordinary, he never expected them to be so beyond his imagination.

He looked around and decided not to reveal the truth for the time being.

Since Su Cheng has not yet shown up, he must have other plans. Let these people continue to speculate.
In the Dragon Tomb, the lingering resentment and dark mist dissipated.

Su Cheng sat cross-legged in the cave, his eyes closed, engrossed in practicing martial arts and engaging in combat.

He only opened his eyes after the system light screen flashed repeatedly.

[Array deduction completed]

[The Demonic Thunder Blade Formation, a perfect-grade alchemy formation (half-step Spirit Rank)]

By integrating several formations and consuming hundreds of years of spiritual energy, the sect's protective formation has finally reached a new level.

This formation combines the strengths of all sides, integrating offense and defense, and possessing the ability to refine souls and fuse evil spirits, making it difficult for any evil to enter.

Su Cheng glanced at the mysterious lightning pattern that flashed across his arm and nodded secretly.

If this sect-protecting formation is operated to its limit, its range can be expanded to a radius of several hundred feet, and its power will be several times greater than before.

"This spiritual energy was well spent."

Su Cheng's mind stirred slightly, and he looked at another screen of light.

[The Supreme Profound Origin Slayer Sword, a Spiritual Profound Weapon (Perfect)] [Refined with the intent of the Profound Pure Supreme Origin, the sword slays demons and dragons]

With a sudden flash of light, a greatsword fell into his palm.

The broad blade is adorned with dragon patterns, and the spine of the sword resembles two dragons coiling around each other. The mysterious patterns extend to the blade, inexplicably exuding an air of nobility.

"It is indeed a fine sword." Su Cheng weighed it in his hand and was quite satisfied.

Compared to the previous unfinished version, the power of this sword is now even more unfathomable.

And besides that——

[Ancient Dragon's Mystic Energy: Ten Years]

Su Cheng sheathed the Dragon Sword, his brows furrowing slightly.

The energy absorbed from the dragon scales was actually 'mysterious energy' that could not be refined.
"Could it be that one must reach the Spirit Profound Realm to use it?"

As I was pondering this, a soft murmur suddenly echoed beside me.

"Father, Mother, don't go!"

Looking down, he saw Flora curled up beside him, tightly holding his left hand.

Her pretty face was slightly pale, and there seemed to be tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, as if she were trapped in a nightmare.

"."

Su Cheng sighed inwardly. He guessed that this girl's childhood hadn't been happy.
"I've grown up now. I've even met an uncle."

Flo's murmurs in her sleep were intermittent, and it was unclear what she was dreaming about.

Suddenly, she muttered, "This uncle... he's so lewd."

Su Cheng: “.”

Speechless, Flora's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes in a daze, just in time to meet Su Cheng's gaze.

"Make things clear first."

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and said, "It's not that I'm trying to take advantage; you're the one who's holding it."

The girl looked down blankly, only to realize that she was holding his hand tightly to her chest, almost sinking into the snow waves.

"It's my fault."

She hurriedly removed her hand from her chest, a blush spreading across her cheeks. "I'm so sorry, Uncle."

She pursed her lips, all sleepiness vanishing instantly. But the strange dream she'd just had seemed to be her deceased parents urging her to settle down and start a family soon.

"Oh, right!" Flora forced herself to sit up: "What about the demonic dragon now?"

"Don't worry about it, it's already been resolved."

Su Cheng gently stroked her hair: "Although you have been unconscious for more than a day, you are still very weak and need to rest for a few more days."

Flo breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Thank you for taking care of me, Uncle."

"Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

"I'm not sleepy now."

The girl turned her face away to avoid his gaze, barely managing to move her weak body to sit beside Su Cheng, curling her legs together under her skirt.

She was about to speak when she suddenly noticed something was wrong with her clothes and was startled. "Uncle, what happened to my clothes?"

"I've changed it for you."

Su Cheng casually said, "We went out and traveled a lot before, and we got covered in dust, so we might as well change into a new set."

Flora's mouth agape, she stared blankly for a moment, then crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes filled with disdain:

"Uncle, this is too frivolous."

"Don't worry, I didn't take off your undergarments."

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Besides, you have a cleanliness obsession, so it's always more comfortable to change into something clean."

"Hmm." Flora's ears turned red, and she shyly looked away.

She didn't care about undergarments; it was her body that mattered.
But when the words were about to come out, she remembered that the other person meant well and her anger subsided, and she only let out a soft hum.

"Next time, you should let me know first."

"Row."

Su Cheng smiled and quickly closed his eyes to enter a meditative state.

After a long silence, Flora whispered again, "Uncle, what exactly was that terrifying dragon shadow from before?"

"It is a scale from the Yuantian Dragon Clan, which happened to be buried in the Xuanqing Dragon Clan's cemetery. We made too much noise, which is why we woke it up."

"I see."

She seemed lost in thought, her gaze falling on the spot where their fingers were intertwined, and her heart inexplicably trembled.

"What should we do next?"

"Rest for two days until you recover before leaving." Su Cheng chuckled, "So that your fellow disciples won't misunderstand and think I've bullied you."

Flora blushed and whispered, "Uncle, don't worry, they won't talk nonsense."

If this experience were to be exposed, it would be the masters and elders who would be most anxious and worried.

If we truly act according to the sect's rules, I'm afraid I'll be forced to be with my uncle.
She buried her face in her knees, her jade-like neck beneath her dark hair burning red.

It's best not to tell my uncle about this, otherwise it would be incredibly embarrassing.
Several hours passed quietly.

After taking the elixir and regulating her breathing for a long time, Flora's complexion improved significantly.

She slowly exhaled her breath, and turned her head to look, only to see that Su Cheng was already lying on his back, seemingly fast asleep.

The puppet Daoist partner knelt quietly to the side, like a virtuous wife waiting for her husband.

"."

Flora's eyes darted around, and seeing that the puppet remained motionless, her heart began to beat slightly faster, as if she had done something wrong.

She held her breath silently, and as if possessed, leaned closer to Su Cheng, blinking her beautiful eyes as she carefully examined his face.

This experience was so bizarre that I still haven't had a proper look at my uncle's face.

Looking closely now, he was indeed handsome and masculine, with a strong masculine presence.
"Perhaps what my aunt valued wasn't just his cultivation level and talent, but also his appearance?"

Flo unconsciously smiled slightly.

For some reason, looking at his peaceful sleeping face, I felt...
"Why aren't you resting properly? What are you staring at me for?"

Su Cheng suddenly spoke, startling Flora so much that her smile froze.

Meeting the smiling gaze that met her eyes, she blushed instantly: "You...you weren't asleep?!"

"After practicing for a long time, I just close my eyes to rest."

Su Cheng chuckled: "If you want to see, I don't mind."

Flo hurriedly turned her head away, her bangs covering her blushing face.

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense."

After a moment of silence, the girl suppressed her rapid heartbeat, quietly lay down beside him, and carefully wrapped her arms around his.

"I'm fine for now, I just want to hear about you. Your situation."
