One person established a clan

Chapter 204 Confrontation
"Who did this?!"

The Grand Elder of the Qiong Clan suddenly stood up, his surprised and suspicious gaze piercing through the clouds outside the cabin.

At this moment, the elders were discussing why the deep secret realm had not yet been opened. Unexpectedly, before the plan was finalized, they sensed that the deep restriction had been broken by brute force!

"He appears to be a young cultivator, accompanied by two women in black robes!"

The clansmen hastily relayed the message, and the elder's expression of astonishment deepened.

How could a mere young upstart possibly shake such an ancient restriction?!
The previous restriction was protected by a strange power, and even the alliance with the Heaven-Seizing Alliance was powerless to break it, but now...
"No!" another elder exclaimed in alarm, "That person broke through the barrier from within!"

The Heavenly Alliance Palace Master, who was already uneasy, suddenly crushed the spirit stone in his palm upon hearing this, and appeared outside the spirit boat in a flash.

He focused his gaze on the source of the scent, and his pupils suddenly contracted:
"Su Cheng?!"

Once the protective aura completely dissipated, the area within several miles fell into a deathly silence.

"—Successfully completed."

Su Cheng lazily stretched his limbs, glancing at the battlefield around him out of the corner of his eye.

The sky was filled with countless spirit boats, obscuring the sun. Thousands of cultivators were either fighting against the horde of corpses or casting bewildered glances at this place. An eerie and unpredictable atmosphere permeated the entire world.

"The various factions have acted quickly, gathering quite a few people."

"Those who tried to break the seal earlier must have been cultivators from the four races."

Flora stepped forward gracefully, her elegant, flowing black robes billowing gently, and a cool voice emanated from beneath her veil. "Our appearance here might be too conspicuous."

"We're going to get out of here anyway, so why bother with these things?"

Su Cheng glanced at him sideways, lowering his voice slightly; "You've just finished refining the Netherworld, why don't you rest and recuperate first? Leave the trivial matters here to me."

Flo was silent for a moment, then nodded almost imperceptibly: "Thank you, Uncle."

Only the reddened tips of her ears beneath the veil betrayed the turmoil in her heart.
"Stop exchanging flirtatious glances."

Shi Xuan whispered a reminder, "Those old monsters at the Spirit Profound Realm are all watching you."

Su Cheng looked up and around, making out several familiar clan emblems among the countless spirit boats.
"It is truly an eye-opener for me that someone was able to break through the restrictions here."

Suddenly, a loud laugh pierced the air.

Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he saw dozens of spirit boats approaching from hundreds of feet away in a closed formation, with several powerful old men at the head of the boats staring intently at each other.

May I ask which school of thought you follow, young friend?

The Grand Elder of the Qiong Clan stepped forward and stood with his hands behind his back.

Although his aged face was full of kind smiles, a cold and murderous intent was hidden in his eyes.

"I have guarded the Seven Star Cave for a hundred years, and this is the first time I have seen someone emerge unscathed from the deepest secret realm."

"I belong to no sect or school; this encounter is merely a matter of chance."

Su Cheng said calmly, "If there's nothing else, senior, then I'll take my leave."

"Wait a minute."

The Grand Elder suddenly interrupted, saying with a half-smile, "Young friend, why don't you move to the Qiong Clan's spirit boat and let us do our part as hosts? Since the three of you have had such a wonderful opportunity, our four clans are willing to repay you with generous gifts, and we only ask to share our experiences."

“No need.”

Su Cheng calmly declined, saying, "I have other important matters to attend to, so please don't trouble yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures quietly appeared around them, all dressed in the attire of the four tribes.

Although everyone wore smiles, their chilling aura caused the air within a hundred feet to freeze.

"What does this mean?"

Su Cheng glanced around at everyone, his gaze sharp as lightning as he stared directly at the old man: "If the invitation fails, you intend to force him to stay?"

"Young friend, you jest. How could I possibly act recklessly under the watchful eyes of so many?"

The elder said meaningfully, "It is a sincere invitation, and I hope you will not refuse."

While chatting and laughing, he was secretly using his divine sense to carefully investigate, secretly making calculations in his mind—

This young man has already reached the mid-stage of the Danxuan realm at such a young age, and his foundation is even more solid than that of the perfected stage. He must be carrying an extraordinary opportunity.

The two unidentified women in black robes behind him, though powerful cultivators at the Spirit Profound level, were now weak and exhausted, clearly having suffered heavy losses in their cultivation after a fierce battle.

It seems these three people must have strayed deep into the secret realm, triggered the restrictions, and thus escaped in a sorry state.
That would have been perfect, capturing them all.

"There are too many people around here, so it's not convenient to discuss this in detail."

The Grand Elder smiled and stepped aside, gesturing towards the spirit boat: "Young friend, please." Su Cheng ignored him and prepared to leave on his sword.

"."

The elder's smile suddenly froze, and the overwhelming pressure of the Spirit Profound Realm erupted, causing the entire world to tremble and change color.

"Hiss—!" The surrounding cultivators were all secretly shocked.

The Qiong Clan has been silent for a long time, and now they are about to make a move against these three?
In an instant, thunder roared, and a violent surge of spiritual energy swept in like a celestial river pouring down.

Su Cheng faced the howling wind and slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Go back on your word?"

"Since you are not willing to do me any favors, I will have no choice but to invite you in person."

The Grand Elder's voice boomed like thunder, his immense pressure escalating: "Fists and feet have no eyes, young friend, be careful—"

"Hahaha!"

A loud laugh suddenly pierced the sky, abruptly interrupting the Grand Elder's threat.

He couldn't help but frown slightly: "Palace Master Yue, what is the meaning of this?"

"Elder, please don't be offended."

The Lord of the Heavenly Alliance arrived, his face full of mockery, and casually waved his hand, saying, "I was just overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing an old friend."

"Does Palace Master Yue recognize this person?"

"I have been searching for him for a long time, and I thought he would have fled in a panic long ago. I never expected him to appear from the deep secret realm. It is truly a cruel twist of fate."

"Oh?" The Grand Elder's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly nodded in realization: "This person is Su Cheng, the rogue cultivator who has a grudge against Palace Master Yue?"

"Exactly."

The Palace Master stared coldly at Su Cheng, a cruel smile curving his lips: "You are indeed incredibly arrogant, daring to come to the Seven Star Cave to die. Today you have run into my hands, so it is the will of Heaven to destroy you."

"On the contrary, my luck is at its peak today."

Su Cheng smiled calmly: "I searched for you everywhere before but couldn't find you. Now that you've come to me on your own initiative, it saves me a lot of trouble."

"You're still as sharp-tongued as ever."

The palace master gave a cold, sinister laugh, his killing intent solidifying into a tangible form.

He had remained silent just now precisely to secretly investigate Su Cheng's true strength. After confirming that the change in the restriction was unrelated to these three people, he concluded that there must be another mystery within the secret realm.

"Palace Master Yue, please do not take his life directly."

The Grand Elder secretly transmitted his voice: "Now that this person has entered the deep secret realm, he must have gained something. It would be better to capture him first, interrogate him, and then decide what to do."

"I know what I'm doing."

At the same time, more than a dozen Heavenly Alliance Spirit Envoys appeared and surrounded the area, blocking all escape routes.

Su Cheng glanced at them coldly: "It seems the people from the Heaven-Seizing Alliance have all arrived?"

"You cannot escape today."

A spirit messenger sneered, "Dare to oppose my Heavenly Alliance? Today is your death day."

"Lord of the Palace," another spirit messenger stepped forward and requested, "Allow me to capture this fiend—"

"Go back."

The palace master waved his hand to interrupt, a sinister sneer on his face: "This person is still useful to me, so don't cause any trouble."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed it into the void. The area within a hundred feet centered on Su Cheng suddenly twisted and sank, and the terrifying soul suppression crashed down like a heavy mountain!

"I myself—"

Click!
A crimson sword light shot into the sky, shattering the binding force into pieces.

The sharp aftershocks of the sword energy swept in all directions, forcing the cultivators to retreat repeatedly, their faces filled with horror.

"Um?!"

The Palace Master paused, staring at the vast spiritual tide that suddenly erupted around Su Cheng, his sinister smile faltering slightly.

"The fact that your Heaven-Seizing Alliance has gathered here is exactly what I wanted."

Su Cheng stood with his sword in hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Today, I will settle things with you."
