One person established a clan

Chapter 172 Guests

Upon seeing the light of day again, Su Cheng couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Flo felt the warm sun caressing her face, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips beneath her veil: "Successfully made it out."

"Young Master!"

Several gasps of surprise suddenly came from below.

The two looked down and saw that the mountaintop was densely packed with cultivators, and several figures were rapidly approaching.

"Your fellow disciples have arrived."

Su Cheng chuckled lightly: "Have you figured out how to explain this to them?"

The cultivators from Wenyou Mountain rushed over anxiously: "Young Master, please come forward."

Halfway through the conversation, everyone suddenly fell silent, their bodies frozen in mid-air.

Just as Flora had figured out how to explain, she suddenly felt several strange gazes fall upon her.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she realized that she was still nestled in Su Cheng's arms. She was so embarrassed that her ears burned.

"Young...Young Master, what is this?"

"Cough cough!"

Flo quickly broke free from Su Cheng's arms and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "Don't misunderstand. It was thanks to this young master Su's help that I was able to escape safely. If it weren't for his protection along the way, I'm afraid I would have already lost my life in the secret realm."

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators of Wenyou Mountain turned their gazes to Su Cheng, their eyes flashing with complex expressions.

Although the terrifying aura that burst forth from the ground was fleeting, its immense power was undeniable.

However, the atmosphere and behavior between the young master and this person seemed a bit too intimate.
"Thank you for your help, young master."

In a flash, they quickly expressed their gratitude respectfully. "We are deeply grateful to the entire Wenyou Mountain."

"It was nothing." Su Cheng smiled calmly. "I have also received a lot of help from Miss Fu."

Miss Fu?
The cultivators of Wenyou Mountain felt even stranger, and their eyes fell on the two people's hands, which were still clasped together.

This situation resembles that of a couple deeply in love.
"Ahem! With Young Master Su's help, I have found the Netherworld Treasure Mirror."

Flo quickly changed the subject: "Let's hurry back to the sect to report."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators of Wenyou Mountain, who had been lost in thought, were overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Young Master Su," a female cultivator hurriedly said, "would you like to come with us back to Wenyou Mountain—"

"Don't!"

Flo quickly interrupted.

Facing the surprised gazes of her fellow disciples, her face flushed slightly beneath her veil: "Young Master Su has other important matters to attend to, and we cannot trouble you further. I will personally visit to express my gratitude when the opportunity arises in the future."

The cultivators of Youshan nodded in understanding.

Su Cheng gave Flo a meaningful look. This little girl is quite good at smoothing things over.

"Alright, Master Su."

Flora met his gaze, paused, blushed, and withdrew her right hand. "Young Master Su, we shall meet again someday."

Why wait for "destiny" to come?

Su Cheng handed her the communication jade. "We can meet anytime you have free time in the future."

Flora's heart trembled slightly, and she nodded almost imperceptibly, transmitting her thoughts telepathically:

"I will keep it safe. Take care, Uncle."

The cultivators of Wenyou Mountain summoned the black shuttle, and the group quickly boarded the boat and departed.

"."

Su Cheng watched the dark figure disappear into the horizon, and smiled wryly.

It felt a little strange to suddenly let go of the hand I had been holding for several days.

"Stop looking," Shi Xuan whispered in his ear, "There are still quite a few people down there."

Looking down, Su Cheng saw cultivators from various factions taking off one after another.

Sect Leader Wei was the first to greet them with a cupped hand and a broad smile, saying, "You must have had a very fruitful trip?"

Su Cheng smiled slightly: "Not bad."

"Master Su!"

The Crown Prince arrived surrounded by guards, beaming with joy, and said, "Thanks to your presence and intervention—"

"Your Highness is too kind."

Su Cheng waved his hand to interrupt: "This is not a suitable place to talk. Let's find another place to talk."

A hint of surprise flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes, and he quickly replied, "If you don't mind, why don't you come with me by boat to the capital to rest for a while?" "That's not necessary." Su Cheng's flying sword flashed with purple light, and he took the lead, soaring into the sky.

The Crown Prince and Master Wei exchanged a glance, then immediately summoned the spirit boat and led their men to follow closely behind.

"."

The royal family and the Lingshan Sect members left one after another, leaving behind various forces looking at each other with expressions of surprise and doubt.

"Just who is that mysterious man?"

"Not only is his cultivation unfathomable, but he also has close ties with the royal family and the Ling Shan Sect."

"That's not all!" Wang Zichen's expression changed slightly. "The person who was with him just now was clearly from Wenyou Mountain. Even that group of madmen treated him with utmost respect, which is truly unbelievable."

Has anyone seen this person in the secret realm?

Upon hearing this, the cultivators all looked doubtful.

The members of Changjing Pavilion pondered to themselves that although they had met him once, it was only a fleeting glimpse, and they knew very little about him.

"Master."

A cultivator from the Tai Su Pavilion approached the white-bearded old Taoist and whispered, "Should we pursue them to investigate?"

"Don't do such a foolish thing."

The white-bearded old Taoist priest coldly stopped him, and seeing that his disciple was puzzled, he added, "Take a look at those two from the Wangshan Sect and the Yixian Sect."

The disciple looked in the direction of the sound and saw two Spirit Profound cultivators with equally solemn expressions, silently watching the direction the person had left.

"They see things clearly, just like I do."

The old Taoist priest said in a deep voice, "That person has dragon energy on him, he must be the one who sealed the remaining scales of the Heavenly Dragon. Such a powerful person must not be treated lightly."

He secretly calculated with his fingers, his eyes gleaming. To ascertain the truth, he realized that only he himself could do so.

The three beams of light swept across a hundred miles before finally stopping.

Su Cheng looked back and saw the two spirit boats slowly approaching, and the Crown Prince and Sect Master Wei soon appeared.

"Young Master Su, hmm?"

Before the Crown Prince could finish speaking, something suddenly flew towards him.

He quickly caught it and was astonished to find that it was the Baichuan Jade Seal, which had been lost for hundreds of years!

"This item was found by chance in a secret realm."

Su Cheng said calmly, "I have no interest in the struggle for imperial power, so I'll just give it to you."

He had absorbed all the dragon energy within the jade seal, and now it was nothing more than an ordinary piece of jade.

He didn't believe that a single jade seal, lost for hundreds of years, could truly change the situation in the Hundred Rivers Kingdom.

Rather than letting them take up space in the Immortal Sect's space, it's better to take them out and do a favor.

The Crown Prince's expression shifted, and he suddenly bowed solemnly:

"Thank you so much, Young Master Su, for your generous gift. I, Shao Ling, will never forget this kindness!"

He then removed the ink ring from his finger and presented it with both hands. "Inside are miraculous elixirs and a copy of my cultivation techniques and mystical arts. I hope you will accept them."

Sect Leader Wei, standing to the side, clicked his tongue in astonishment. These were all royal family secrets and treasures, yet the Crown Prince had offered them up without hesitation.
"Thanks." Su Cheng didn't stand on ceremony and casually summoned the ink ring from a distance.

"In the future, Dongchen and Baichuan should cooperate more."

"It's natural!"

The Crown Prince couldn't help but reveal an excited smile: "As long as I am in power, Baichuan Kingdom will definitely be a friend of Dongchen!"

Su Cheng nodded to Sect Leader Wei again, then left without lingering, riding his flying sword into the distance.

"It is truly a fortunate thing that such a prodigy has emerged in Dongchen."

Hearing Master Wei's sigh, the two old guards exchanged a glance and came to the side of the Crown Prince, whose face was full of excitement.

"Your Highness, what are the current plans?"

"Return to the capital immediately."

The Crown Prince looked at the jade seal in his hand with burning desire. "With this seal in hand, Father will have no objections."

"Should we hold a banquet when Your Highness ascends the throne?"

"Yes! Of course!"

He gripped the imperial seal tightly, his expression growing solemn. "I hereby proclaim to the thirty-six cities of Baichuan that this throne belongs to me, Shao Ling!"

After saying this, he solemnly ordered, "At that time, you must host a banquet for Dongchen Su Cheng, treat him with the highest national honors, and regard him as an honored guest!"
