One person established a clan

Chapter 177 Swordfight and Pleasure
"This woman"

Shi Xuan frowned as he watched from the shadows. Such a subtle action was certainly enough to spark the imagination.

Su Cheng's mind stirred slightly, and he nodded in agreement without making it obvious.

Seeing that he agreed, Lü Hongxi's smile deepened. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard Feng Sha say softly:
"Young Master Su, this trip has been very fruitful. What are your plans for the future?"

A glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes: "You must stay in the capital."

"There is one more thing I haven't told you."

Su Cheng quickly calmed down and said, "I will go to Qianfeng Ridge on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month."

After he briefly explained the reason, both Feng Sha and Lü Hongxi's expressions changed.

"A duel with the Palace Master of the Heaven-Seizing Alliance?"

"It's Thousand Peaks Ridge?" Lü Hongxi quickly grabbed his sleeve. "Junior Brother, do you know how dangerous that place is? It's definitely not an ordinary place."

"I know a little about it."

Su Cheng glanced at her. "Legend has it that it is guarded by four clans of the wondrous realm, which contains countless secret realms and dangerous places. Every five years, they invite all clans and sects from all over the world to gather here."

Feng Sha, listening nearby, looked worried: "Is it really that dangerous?"

Based solely on the resources of Dongchen Kingdom, I'm afraid they wouldn't even qualify for an invitation to visit.

If Young Master Su goes alone
"Are you really going?"

Lu Hongxi frowned and said, "If we want to fight the Heaven-Seizing Alliance, we should wait for the Heavenly Army Ceremony in six months. Going to Thousand Peaks Ridge now would be extremely dangerous."

"Actually, confronting that palace master is secondary."

Su Cheng smiled calmly again: "Qianfeng Ridge is renowned, and I am even more eager to explore its true nature."

Cultivation nowadays requires many rare and precious materials; if this journey can yield some results, that would be wonderful.

Seeing his composed expression, Lü Hongxi's eyes flickered, and the solemn look between her brows quietly faded away.

"Junior brother is so confident, it seems he is not rashly accepting the challenge."

She quickly smiled and said, "That's good. With your current skills, Junior Brother, you might be able to make a name for yourself in Thousand Peaks Ridge."

"Miss Lü," Feng Sha said hurriedly, "Is it appropriate to let Young Master Su go like this?"

"It doesn't matter."

Su Cheng picked up the conversation and chuckled, "If there is any danger, I have my own way of escaping."

Feng Sha was slightly taken aback, but after realizing what she meant, a blush appeared on her cheeks.

I almost forgot, just now the young master used a mysterious technique to travel thousands of miles to come to my side.

Since you have such means of protection, there's really no need to worry too much.
...

The three of them then chatted and reminisced for a long time in the study.

The atmosphere grew increasingly harmonious as they chatted and laughed, occasionally reminiscing about interesting things in the capital.

As dusk approached, Feng Sha realized it was late. She hurriedly instructed her maids to take good care of her before reluctantly bidding farewell.

"Miss Feng is indeed very busy."

Watching her departing figure, Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "Being a good empress is truly no easy task."

“Dongchen is in dire need of reconstruction, so she naturally has no time to relax.”

Lu Hongxi crossed her arms and murmured, "However, the royal family of this country is already doing its best to pave the way. Once she successfully ascends the throne, she shouldn't have to be as busy as she is now."

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Senior Sister also understands the art of governing a country?"

"Just wild speculation."

Lu Hongxi didn't elaborate, but instead touched her lips and smiled alluringly: "Now that Miss Feng isn't here, Junior Brother can finally spend some quality time with me?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "If Senior Sister is interested, I will gladly oblige."

"you"

While delighted, Lü Hongxi was also curious: "I had a feeling just now, and it was indeed not an illusion."

She leaned closer with great interest, her bloodshot eyes sparkling. "Junior Brother seems to have become more cheerful and smile more often compared to before?"

Su Cheng chuckled: "Your mindset has changed a bit, hasn't it?"

Lü Hongxi's expression softened further. "This junior brother is truly quite good."

She waved away the maidservants, glanced at the puppet standing quietly to the side, and quietly took Su Cheng's hand, their fingers intertwined:

"Follow me~"

"Where are you going, Senior Sister?" Su Cheng followed her into the air and flew towards the back mountain.

The distance of several miles was covered in an instant, and the three figures landed in the secluded forest.

“This place is quite far from the palace. As long as we don’t make too much noise, no one will bother us.” Lü Hongxi released her slender hand, lightly leaped ten feet away, and suddenly turned around.

She raised a slightly warlike, excited smile, and blood-red light surged and pulsed beneath her palm, suddenly transforming into an ink sword which she gripped tightly in her hand.

"Junior brother, I have been patiently waiting until now, all for this moment!"

As the sun sets at dusk, that tall, alluring figure, bathed in the afterglow, exudes a cool and aloof elegance.

Meeting those burning, eager eyes, Su Cheng couldn't help but chuckle, "As expected, what Senior Sister cares about most is sparring."

Lu Hongxi paused for a moment upon hearing this, her face slightly flushed: "Not entirely."

But when the words were about to come, she didn't explain any further and quickly drew her sword, pointing it straight at him. "Junior brother, let me see just how much your skill has improved."

"Alright."

Su Cheng smiled calmly, a flash of purple light appeared beside him, and the demonic sword instantly entered his hand.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lü Hongxi's eyes. "This sword isn't the original one?"

"It was taken from the Heaven-Seizing Alliance."

Su Cheng casually twirled his sword. "It's not bad to use."

Lu Hongxi seemed thoughtful, then a smile quickly returned to her lips. "Junior brother, be careful. I am completely different now than I was back in the Heavenly Jade Realm!"

At that time, she was seriously injured and unable to use her full cultivation.

After returning to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, he took pills and secluded himself for several days, breaking through his cultivation level and becoming capable of using techniques that were no longer the same as before.

Seeing that Su Cheng was ready, her expression immediately turned serious: "Junior brother, take this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her beautiful figure transformed into a silent streak of light and rushed closer, the sword light in her hand instantly turning into a torrential rain of blood!
Clang, clang clang clang—!
The two sword shadows collided suddenly, like waves crashing together, exploding into a sky full of shattered sword light.

Su Cheng fought and retreated, while Lü Hongxi relentlessly pursued him, her sword energy raging and whipping up gusts of biting wind in the forest.

"This woman is indeed very capable."

Shi Xuan watched the battle from the shadows and couldn't help but nod slightly. "It's been a while since we last met, and you've actually faintly touched the Spirit Profound Barrier."

Moreover, the sword's momentum and intent are even more refined. When a sword is thrust out, it is like a surging sea of ​​blood, with endless pressure.

He truly deserves the name of the true successor of the Heavenly Realm Sword Pavilion. Among his peers in the Five Desolate Regions, it is probably impossible to find many sword prodigies who can rival him.

only--

"It's not enough to deal with this villain."

Shi Xuan curled his lips into a smile. "If this woman doesn't unleash her full power soon, she'll suffer another defeat."

clang--!
The two swords clashed violently in the forest, instantly creating a ring-shaped shockwave.

Lu Hongxi felt a slight numbness in her wrist, and frowned slightly, secretly marveling to herself.

In a short time, my junior brother's cultivation has truly improved greatly. His swordsmanship is flawless, practically perfect; not a single flaw can be found.

"Senior sister, you're daydreaming."

Su Cheng suddenly spoke, chuckling lightly, "Could this be considered a victory for me, even if it's just half a move?"

Lu Hongxi was slightly taken aback. Looking down, she saw that her abdomen was being gently pressed against by her left palm.

"."

She frowned and bit her lower lip, then abruptly slapped Su Cheng's arm away and turned to unleash her swordsmanship again.

Before she could even draw her sword, her fair wrist was suddenly gripped tightly, and a tremendous force sent her flying, slamming her against an ancient tree beside her.

"Well!"

Lu Hongxi crashed into a tree trunk, letting out a slight groan. Amidst the falling leaves, her hands were also twisted behind her back.

Su Cheng leaned closer and smiled, "Senior Sister, are you satisfied now?"

Lu Hongxi's ears trembled from the hot breath, and her face flushed. "You haven't even used all your skills yet, how can I be satisfied!"

Her aura of bloodlust surged violently, stirring up the surrounding dust and seemingly unleashing a dense burst of blood-red lightning.

Snapped--!
Lu Hongxi's alluring body suddenly stiffened, her sharp, blood-red eyes widened slightly, and the terrifying aura around her dissipated.

Feeling the burning pain spreading across her buttocks, she let out a shy, soft moan, so much so that she couldn't even hold onto the sword in her hand, which fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Junior brother, you...you..."

Lu Hongxi's face was flushed, and she turned around to give him a moist look.

Su Cheng's smile became slightly awkward as he reluctantly withdrew his hand. "It was just a quick thing to do."

Before she could finish speaking, Lü Hongxi softly and shyly murmured, "Sister has lost, Junior Brother, it's alright if you punish me a little more."
