One person established a clan

Chapter 225 Exquisitely Carved
"Did you hurt her?"

Su Chenghan questioned him in a cold voice, his body crackling with lightning like snakes, and purple thunder appearing and disappearing in the black mist.

The demon's face twisted, its eyes narrowed to needles, and it brandished its sharp blades as if facing a formidable enemy.

It had just unleashed its Danxuan aura when it was instantly crushed to pieces by a thunderous aura!

"Goooo!"

As a sudden gust of wind arose, the demon's body sank abruptly, its bones creaking under the strain.

Fear deepened in its eyes, but when it caught sight of the pure white figure in Su Cheng's arms, an uncontrollable greedy desire suddenly burst forth.

"Roar--!"

A burst of brilliant light shot from the demon's back, and its twin blades, imbued with a soaring murderous aura, attacked.

In the blink of an eye, purple lightning and black mist surged like a tide, and two dragon claws crossed and clashed in the void.

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted, and a spray of blood mist erupted from between the dragon's claws.

When the lightning dissipated, only a blurry pool of flesh and blood remained between the dragon's claws, with the outline of a demon's corpse vaguely visible.

Su Cheng's expression was solemn as he casually swept away all the spiritual energy within.

[Absorption of pure spiritual energy: 20 years] [Ancient dragon's profound energy: 3 years] [Evil and malevolent energy: 30 years]

He looked down at the pure white girl in his arms, his brows furrowed.

If the dragon scales' guidance is correct, this woman must be Bai Zu.

But how could someone who could be addressed as "senior" by the Lord of Wenyou be harmed by such a demon?
[Detected 'Original Heaven Ancestral Dragon Body'] [Injuries too severe; unable to visualize the spiritual essence at this time]

"Xuan'er, set up the formation first."

Su Cheng sat cross-legged and took out several bottles of elixirs. "This woman's injuries are severe; we cannot delay."

"Alright." Shi Xuan appeared in response, her slender fingers flying as she laid out layers of array seals.

Although it cannot completely conceal one's aura, it can at least temporarily evade the eyes and ears of demons, buying time for healing.

"woo"

The girl's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a soft whimper like that of a kitten escaped her lips, her porcelain-white face contorted in pain.

Su Cheng disregarded any need to avoid suspicion and carefully lifted the blood-stained glass fairy dress.

The skin touched by her fingertips was as white as the first snow, and her slender body was as translucent as a jade doll.

Only a piercing wound across his chest and abdomen was shocking, with blood gushing out.

Even more troublesome is the fact that the soul is shaken and cracked, and the energy in the meridians is as chaotic as hemp fibers.
"Fortunately, they can be saved."

Su Cheng crushed the elixir into powder, lightly applied it to her bloodless lips, and then smeared a rare ointment on her wound.

He placed his palm against her soft chest and channeled spiritual energy into her to protect her heart meridian, then used his internal energy to help her regulate her internal breathing.

The girl unconsciously curled up her petite body, and her soft breathing gradually subsided.

"."

After Shi Xuan finished setting up the formation, he turned around and saw the girl surrounded by emerald light, and his eyes flickered slightly.

This Bai Zu is related to the life and death of the old woman, no wonder the enemy would not hesitate to take out such a precious elixir.

However, why was this woman so badly injured?
"Could it be the great battle at sea we just fought?"

She pondered to herself, her gaze falling once more on that youthful face.

With such a youthful appearance, it's hard to believe he's a senior master who has lived for thousands of years.

On the contrary, they look quite exquisite and lovely, like pure white elves born from heaven and earth.
Moreover, why was the demon so obsessed with her, even though it was clearly terrified of its enemy, and willing to fight to the death for her?
"His condition has stabilized for now."

Su Cheng let out a long sigh of relief, took out a clean robe, and carefully wrapped the girl up.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer; let's find somewhere to settle down first."

"Over there." Shi Xuan pointed into the distance: "When I was setting up the formation, I sensed an obstacle over there, which seemed to be an ancient architectural relic."

"Alright!" Su Cheng didn't hesitate and sped away on his sword.

The empty, dilapidated palace was silent, with only a flickering candle casting a dim yellow glow on the broken walls.

Su Cheng and Shi Xuan set up layers of formations around the area, and only after confirming that everything was foolproof did they return to the hall alone.

"Ok?"

He intended to check on the girl's injuries, but instead met a pair of crimson eyes, like the morning glow solidified into cinnabar. The pure white girl lay quietly on the soft couch, tilting her head to gaze at him with a serene expression. Her exquisitely sculpted face was calm as still water, with only a hint of wariness in her eyes.

"Little girl, you woke up so early?"

Su Cheng knelt down beside her with a calm expression and asked gently, "How are you feeling now?"

The girl blinked lightly, and after a long silence, the coldness in her eyes gradually melted away, and she softly hummed in agreement.
"Much better, thank you."

Her voice was so soft and sweet, yet it also carried a touch of ethereal beauty.

Su Cheng's breathing became slightly sluggish, and he quickly composed himself.

"Your injuries are not yet healed, so please rest here and recuperate. We will take good care of you, so there is no need to worry."

"Um"

The girl's long eyelashes drooped, and her guard quietly dissipated.

The thought that her body had been seen by this person made her blush faintly, almost imperceptibly.

Sensing the faint dragon aura emanating from Su Cheng, she couldn't help but part her cherry lips slightly:

Why are my shed scales in your hands?

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and took out a dragon scale from his robes. "This was a gift from the current Lord of Wenyou Mountain. He said that when going to the Star Origin Land, one can obtain the assistance of 'White Ancestor' with this dragon scale."

After speaking, he looked at the other person with a questioning gaze: "Who are you, young lady?"

"I am Bai Zu."

The girl's voice was as light as a feather, yet every word was clear: "This sudden turn of events resulted in serious injuries, leaving me no choice but to flee."

She paused slightly, then gave Su Cheng a deep look: "I vaguely sensed the aura of molting scales along the way, and had no choice but to come here for help. Fortunately, Xiao Ye didn't misjudge me."

Xiao Ye is probably the title for the Lord of Inquiry.

Su Cheng seemed to be deep in thought. No wonder they happened to run into each other on the way; it turned out the other party had taken the initiative to approach him.

"Who hurt you?"

"You don't need to know too much; it will only bring trouble upon yourself."

The girl whispered, "Given my current injuries, I can't help you much. You might as well leave the Star Origin as soon as possible to avoid being affected."

“That won’t do.” Su Cheng’s expression gradually hardened. “There’s something else I need to clarify.”

As he spoke, he took out the 'Ten Heavens Sword' from his spatial storage. "Senior Bai Zu, do you recognize this sword?"

"."

The girl stared blankly at the broken ancient sword, her eyes flickering as if a thousand thoughts were flowing through her mind.

After a long while, she couldn't help but murmur, "This is the sword of the Five Desolate Calamity Emperor, why is it also in your hands?"

“These are my mother’s belongings.”

Su Cheng said solemnly, "I came to the Star Origin Land to find out what happened back then."

The girl was lost in thought for a moment, and then her gaze softened slightly as she looked at him.

"So it's the son of an old friend, cough cough!"

As if aggravating her internal injuries, she coughed softly, her face turning even paler.

Su Cheng frowned slightly and quickly pressed his hand on the wound on her chest and abdomen, slowly channeling his spiritual energy to heal it.

"Calm down first, your recovery is the priority right now."

"Um"

The girl's breathing slowed down, and the excruciating pain gradually subsided. Her bright red eyes gazed softly at Su Cheng.

What is your name?

"My name is Su Cheng."

Su Cheng was focused on treating her injuries, and several more spiritual pills quietly shattered under his palm, transforming into pure medicinal power that seeped into her skin.

"Good name."

The girl's eyes flickered: "You don't need to call me 'Bai Zu' anymore. That's a respectful title from others, it's too formal."

She weakly raised her fair wrist, her jade fingers lightly hooking her sleeve, and softly murmured, "You can just call me Bai Lingling."
