Chapter 2028: Chapter 2027: Coercion (34th Update!)

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

After Su Han took his seat, Lin He hesitated slightly, but ultimately couldn’t resist asking.

"What else could it be?"

Before Su Han could respond, Wang Chuyi loudly declared, "He must think his own talent is so great, overestimating his strength, and in one battle, his body was shattered!"

Lin He frowned slightly and gave Wang Chuyi an unsatisfied glance.

Su Han, however, lifted his gaze and looked directly at Wang Chuyi, his lips curling up as he slowly said, "At least I am still alive."

Wang Chuyi’s tone froze for a moment and then he said, "Yes, being alive is best, but don’t overestimate your capabilities, otherwise this Lower-Class Star Region might lose a world-class prodigy!"

"Thank you for your warning, Senior. I will." Su Han said blandly.

Wang Chuyi couldn’t help but frown at Su Han’s calm tone.

In his view, Su Han should be angry.

Under anger, if he could hold back, he would feel extremely stifled.

If he couldn’t hold back and started arguing, then Wang Chuyi could take the opportunity to target Su Han!

However, Su Han seemed to not understand Wang Chuyi’s implication at all, making him feel like he had run into a brick wall.

Sulky and angry!

"Are you... okay?" Lin He looked again to Su Han.

"I’m fine."

Su Han shook his head, still wearing the same smile, which seemed more approachable.

To Wang Chuyi, it was the same smile, but it seemed more like a forced, insincere smile.

"Since there’s nothing wrong, let’s talk about the Soul Cleansing Pool."

Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor spoke, and the whole palace fell silent.

"Ancestor Emperor, please speak freely," Su Han said.

"The Soul Cleansing Pool has been prepared for you. The timing is just right. Tomorrow, you can enter. The time limit is one year," Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor said.

"Thank you, Ancestor Emperor." Su Han slightly cupped his hands.

At this moment—

"Ancestor Emperor!"

Wang Chuyi suddenly stood up and said to Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor, "Ancestor Emperor, I have a request, and I hope you will agree."

"What is it?" Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor asked.

"Every time the Soul Cleansing Pool is opened, it costs our Qing Emperor Sect a lot of resources, and each time those resources are not fully utilized."

Wang Chuyi paused slightly, then continued, "I believe these resources are too precious and should not be wasted. Therefore, I suggest allowing other Heavenly Talents of the Qing Emperor Sect to enter the Soul Cleansing Pool with Young Master Su, such as Young Master Wuhen and Lin Jian."

"You!"

Upon hearing this, Lin He wanted to speak immediately.

But he suddenly remembered that Lin Jian was the son of Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor, who always favored him.

Moreover, with Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor sitting there, if he spoke directly, it would not be respectful to the Ancestor Emperor.

So, despite his anger, Lin He swallowed his words.

"What about me?"

Unexpectedly, despite Lin He not speaking, Wang Chuyi still addressed him, "You know as well as I do that after a year, those resources will dissipate on their own. Every time the Soul Cleansing Pool is opened, many resources remain unutilized. Do you wish to watch those resources go to waste and not allow the Eldest Young Master to use them?"

"Nonsense!"

Lin He said gloomily, "Wang Chuyi, I know exactly what’s on your mind."

"The Ancestor Emperor is not someone to be swayed by flattery. No matter how much you say, it’s useless. Things should follow the rules!"

"Then you tell me, what are the rules?"

Wang Chuyi sneered, "Yes, the champion of the Heavenly Talent Competition is granted the opportunity to enter the Soul Cleansing Pool, but who said that only the champion alone can enter?"

"You are simply being unreasonable!"

Lin He said angrily, "Does this even need to be stated? In so many sessions of the Heavenly Talent Competition, hasn’t the champion always used the Soul Cleansing Pool alone? Now that it’s Young Master Lin’s turn, they have to share it with others? Furthermore, how do you know for sure that the Soul Cleansing Pool’s resources will be wasted? Young Master Su is not like other Heavenly Talents!"

"Lin He, as someone from the Qing Emperor Sect, how come you are siding with outsiders?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Wang Chuyi sneered, "I am trying to fight for the Qing Emperor Sect’s Heavenly Talents. If Young Master Su is willing to agree, it shows his magnanimity. What are you worrying about?"

"Sorry, I am not that magnanimous." Su Han suddenly said.

With these words, the entire Green Emperor Palace fell silent.

Wang Chuyi’s face turned a shade of pig liver as if he had eaten something disgusting.

This was originally a form of coercion!

In front of Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor, Wang Chuyi was trying to force Su Han to allow Lin Jian and others to enter the Soul Cleansing Pool as well.

Unexpectedly, Su Han paid no heed to Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor’s potential reaction at all.

"Since Young Master Su doesn’t agree, then let it be." Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor said.

"No, I didn’t say I disagree, but..."

Su Han glanced at Wang Chuyi with a slightly mysterious smile, "But my method of consuming resources might be a bit different from others. If Lin Jian and others want to enter the Soul Cleansing Pool, it’s not impossible, but if something unexpected happens in there... then it has nothing to do with me."

"Hmm?"

Wang Chuyi raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but say, "What’s can possibly happen in the Soul Cleansing Pool where there are no fights, only resource absorption and refinement?"

"That’s not certain. Some things happen very unexpectedly, like..."

Su Han lifted his gaze, looking directly at Wang Chuyi, "Like before I arrived, I was ambushed by a Fusion Realm Expert and almost died there. Or like before, every champion of the Heavenly Talent Competition enjoyed the Soul Cleansing Pool alone, but suddenly, you want Young Master Wuhen and others to join this time."

"Everything is unpredictable and very sudden. What do you think, Senior?"

Everyone remained silent.

Wang Chuyi’s face turned alternately blue and purple, looking extremely unpleasant.

"If they want to come, then let them come."

Su Han stood up and slowly said, "But I must repeat: one should not be too greedy. If something really goes wrong by then, don’t blame it on me!"

"Farewell!"

As his final words fell, Su Han cupped his hands toward Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor and Lin He, then turned to leave the Green Emperor Palace.

"What is this supposed to mean?"

Seeing Su Han leave, Wang Chuyi waved his sleeve angrily, "So presumptuous and ill-mannered!"

"He came here solely for the Soul Cleansing Pool. Whether he is well-mannered or not has nothing to do with you." Lin He said calmly.

"Ancestor Emperor, regarding the Soul Cleansing Pool..." Wang Chuyi looked at Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor.

The Ancestor Emperor pondered slightly and said, "You may ask them. If they are willing, it’s not impossible."
