One person established a clan

Chapter 226 Past Events

Su Cheng helped her treat her wound again, and his tense expression finally eased a little.

"white"

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but looking at Bai Lingling's delicate and lovely face, he hesitated for a moment before finally calling out "Miss Bai".

"Your spirit is damaged, you need to calm down and recuperate, and you must avoid emotional fluctuations."

"Um"

Bai Lingling's pale face regained some color, and she said softly, "You want to know about your mother?"

Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly: "I would like to hear the details."

"She is indifferent by nature, acts ruthlessly, and is not swayed by any emotions. She can be described as a natural-born master of calamity."

A hint of reminiscence flickered in Bai Lingling's eyes: "If I hadn't had some means of self-preservation back then, I would have almost lost my life to her sword."

Su Cheng: “.”

I had initially thought that Bai Zu and my mother were old friends, but after hearing this description, they seem like mortal enemies who fought to the death.

Thinking about it carefully, the dragon that my mother killed back then seems to be of the same kind as the one in front of me.
"However, even after thousands of years of entanglement, in the end, we can still call each other old friends."

Bai Lingling lowered her eyes and whispered, "Back then, she wielded the Heavenly Punishment, was known as the Emperor of the Five Desolations, and her sword suppressed the eight wastelands. How majestic and awe-inspiring she was!"

But after the cataclysmic changes in the world, as the one who controlled the tribulation, she devoted all her efforts to maintaining the operation of the Heavenly Dao in this realm, ultimately even sacrificing herself to enter the tribulation and sealing herself away for over three thousand years.

Su Cheng's expression hardened: "But later..."

"Twenty-two years ago, for some unknown reason, it reappeared in the world, and it is said that it was carrying an infant in swaddling clothes."

Bai Lingling looked apologetic: "I have been in seclusion in the deepest part of the Star Origin for many years and rarely concern myself with worldly affairs. It was only when the Qiongqing Mountain Plain stirred that I vaguely sensed your mother's presence, but I was unable to help her in time."

“Miss Bai, there’s no need to worry.” Su Cheng said calmly, “So, is my mother really dead?”

Bai Lingling gently shook her head: "Others may not know, but I have deduced using secret methods that her life star has not been destroyed, and she may be hiding somewhere to heal her wounds."

Do you know where she is?

"It's like being in an ancient village."

Bai Lingling's crimson eyes dimmed slightly, and she sighed softly, "With my current cultivation level, it's difficult for me to deduce further, and I cannot help you find the exact location."

"It's alright, this is already an unexpected surprise."

Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, his brows finally relaxing from their previous tension: "Since she is still alive, there will always be a day when we meet again."

With a weight lifted from his heart, he turned and asked, "Miss Bai, having lived here for so long, do you know if there are any other secret realms here?"
My senior sister and I entered this place together, but were forcibly separated by external forces. Although I can sense that she is not in immediate danger, I still can't help but worry about her.

"They must have fallen into the 'Star Abyss'."

Bai Lingling frowned slightly: "The Star Origin is divided into four layers. The outermost layer is the old site of the Dragon Palace, while the Star Worship Hall where we are located is inside and outside the Star Abyss."

Within the Star Abyss, malevolent spirits roam, and the murderous aura is overwhelming. Ordinary cultivators should not be drawn into it unless their cultivation method is related to this malevolent aura.

Su Cheng nodded solemnly: "Senior Sister is a true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. She recently broke through in cultivation and happened to be disturbed by evil energy."

"Heavenly Realm. Sword Pavilion?"

Bai Lingling blinked her bright eyes upon hearing this: "If that's the case, you don't need to rush to save her. Falling into the Star Abyss might actually be an opportunity for her."

"Why?"

"The techniques of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion are extremely yin and evil, and will inevitably lead to the demonic path."

Bai Lingling said meaningfully, "But the wonder lies in the fact that only by entering the demonic path can one break through and then establish anew. Back then, the master of the Heavenly Realm Sword Pavilion took the initiative to delve into the Thick Earth Death Realm, absorbed the evil energy of heaven and earth for his own use, used demons to control demons, and cultivated an astonishing level of cultivation."

Su Cheng seemed to be deep in thought and was about to ask for details when he suddenly felt a powerful aura rapidly approaching.

He turned his head and stared silently at the outside of the hall.

"What?" Bai Lingling was taken aback at first, then her pretty face turned pale. "You go quickly!"

"Ok?"

"The cultivators of the great clans of the upper realm are attacking the Star Origin Land. It's too dangerous for you to stay here!"

Ignoring her own pain, Bai Lingling hurriedly tugged at his sleeve: "Get away from here immediately! Come back to find your senior sister in ten days. The Star Abyss is filled with malevolent energy; those people would never set foot here."

"And what about you?" Su Cheng frowned slightly. "With your current injuries, are you courting death?"

Bai Lingling bit her thin lips lightly: "I have my own way of dealing with this, you should trust me!"

"Alright, Miss Bai."

Su Cheng gently patted her slightly cool hand and comforted her in a soft voice: "I know what to do."

After saying that, he carefully adjusted her robe, put away the Ten Heavens Sword, and turned to walk out of the hall.

"."

As she watched his figure disappear into the twilight, Bai Lingling parted her cherry lips slightly, but could not utter a sound due to the excruciating pain in her soul, and fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead.

She clenched her slender white hands, struggling to support her frail body.

How could I sit idly by and do nothing?

Bai Lingling let out two soft, panting breaths and barely managed to rise into the air.

This man is not only the son of an old friend, but also his savior. How can we just stand by and watch him die here!

Om-!
A beam of light suddenly stopped above the ancient palace, and a heavy, oppressive aura silently spread.

"I didn't expect there to be living people deep within the Star Origin Land." Qi Hongchen stood with his hands behind his back, looking down indifferently. "They do have some skill."

He had come here alone on his investigation and almost missed this hidden place.

Fortunately, guided by the spiritual treasure, they were able to perceive the ruins shrouded in layers of formations and catch a glimpse of the remaining aura.

"."

Su Cheng walked out of the passageway, calmly approached the puppet, and glanced at it.

"Xuan'er, do you know this person's background?"

“A cultivator from the Upper Realm, Tianshan.”

Shi Xuan's voice came from inside the jade hairpin: "He cultivates the Heavenly Mountain Moon Essence Secret Technique and is especially skilled in soul control illusions. To be able to find this place, he must possess a tracking treasure."

Su Cheng nodded knowingly and said loudly, "May I ask what brings you here from afar—"

"Hand over the Origin Heaven Dragon Ancestor."

Qi Hongchen's face was icy, and his tone left no room for argument. "Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I will spare your life. Get out of here immediately."

Su Cheng narrowed his eyes: "Are all cultivators from the Upper Realm this arrogant?"

"My patience is limited."

Golden lines flowed between Qi Hongchen's brows, his aura rose steadily, and moonlight seemed to surge in his eyes.

"If you two do not leave, you will perish along with this Dragon Ancestor—"

"Wait a minute."

A weak voice suddenly rang out.

Qi Hongchen raised an eyebrow and saw a petite figure slowly float out of the passageway.

Bai Lingling raised her pale face and said softly, "I'll leave with you, please let him go, okay?"

Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered, leaving only a startled sob.

She blinked her bright eyes repeatedly, looking at Su Cheng who was blocking her way, her eyes filled with anxiety.

This child, how could he be so reckless? Facing cultivators from the upper realms, he could truly die—

"Why rush to show yourself?"

Su Cheng released her hand and lightly touched her lips with his index finger: "Things haven't reached the end of the road yet, so don't torture yourself and make the wound reopen."

Before Bai Lingling could react, her delicate body was already pulled into his arms.

"Well"

She was stunned for a moment, and the warm embrace brought a faint blush to her pale cheeks.

Just as he was about to dissuade her, her pupils constricted slightly as if she sensed something, and she held her breath.

This aura... could it be...?
"That's really unbelievable."

Qi Hongchen's eyes flashed with surprise and doubt. "The mighty Origin Heaven Dragon Ancestor actually pleaded for a cultivator from the lower realm?"

Su Cheng, with one arm around the petite Bai Lingling, turned to look at her and asked, "Why not?"

".Ah."

Qi Hongchen's eyes grew cold. "It's rare for the Origin Dragon Ancestor to fight for your life, yet you don't cherish it?"

"She thought you were quite formidable and difficult to deal with."

Su Cheng calmly glanced at him twice: "But in my opinion, you are no different from the 'mortal cultivators from the lower realm' you mentioned."

Qi Hongchen said no more, his aura became more and more refined, and his chilling killing intent permeated the air as if it were a tangible substance.

"In that case, I will give you this."

His words suddenly froze, his pupils contracted sharply, and a chilling coldness crept up his spine.

"."

Su Cheng remained standing still, but a thick, abyss-like aura emanated from his body, instantly transforming the surrounding area into a purple lightning domain!
Amidst the churning black mist, countless deep eyes flickered in and out of view, locking onto the sky above.

"What's this."

Qi Hongchen trembled slightly and unconsciously retreated several feet, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

Before they could react, the aura below suddenly surged again, transforming into overwhelming pressure in the blink of an eye!

"Uh!?"

Qi Hongchen's body suddenly slumped, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes filled with shock.

Why does a cultivator of the Danxuan realm possess such a terrifying aura, even powerful enough to suppress me?!

"Half-step Spirit Profound Realm?"

Su Cheng's icy voice struck Qi Hongchen like a thunderclap, making him tremble with fear.

His face was filled with horror as he stared at the tall figure engulfed in silver flames—

"On my side, we are indeed short of some soldiers at the Spirit Profound Realm."

Su Cheng's eyes flashed with silver light, and towering demonic shadows rose from the ground around the ancient palace behind him. Amidst the roars of dragons and howls of beasts, a vast demonic power suddenly erupted!
"An upper realm cultivator...that's quite a collection."
