Chapter 500: Chapter 329: Return to Homeland, Reunion with Old Friends (1/2)_3

Chen Nuanyu’s lips trembled, she remained silent, and a bitter expression flashed across her face.

Ten or so Divine Spirits, hiding within her heart...

Her heart trembled as she looked into the indifferent gaze of the Western Teaching Celestial Being, vaguely understanding something.

Perhaps, forty-nine days later, all the Venerates and Great Powers will emerge from her heart,

and her fate...

Chen Nuanyu lowered her head, thinking of the Great Celestial Venerate.

She suddenly asked, seemingly unintentionally:

"I’ve heard that an Other Shore World has appeared on the plateau, how is it now?"

The Western Teaching Celestial Being casually replied:

"The World Venerate is stationed in the Other Shore World, forcing harmony among the sects, and the Federation retreats... What, do you want to go?"

"That has to wait until you infiltrate the Capital with the elders and the Great Elders, complete the nurturing, and seize the Supreme Treasure known as the Map of Mountains and Rivers."

Chen Nuanyu lowered her eyelids and nodded silently.

.........

Golden Province.

Purple Bamboo Forest.

Su Qiansuan leisurely sipped a cup of tea, sizing up the group from the Cui Family, and spoke indifferently:

"Cooperation is indeed possible, but aren’t your Cui Family’s demands a bit excessive?"

He straightened up, playing with the teacup in his hand, and continued:

"You want me personally to take action, to help your Cui Family suppress the new Governor of Qinghe Province and several Divine Spirit Races."

"You also want me to provide your Cui Family with vast resources in exchange for your ’mutual aid’ after gaining control and independence of Qinghe Province?"

The elder of the Cui Family politely bowed without arrogance:

"Lord Su, our old ancestor has already stepped into the Great Power Domain. As long as we successfully take over and gain independence of Qinghe Province, our old ancestor could even rival a Great Divine Power User relying on the Qinghe Great Realm."

"By that time, with the assistance of our Cui Family, the pressure faced by the Golden Realm from the Federation would be significantly lessened."

In the mother world, a single city is a world, while a province encompasses dozens to hundreds of worlds and can be called a ’Great Realm.’

Holding a Great Realm independently and receiving the blessings of that realm brings enormous benefits.

Su Qiansuan smiled noncommittally, gazing faintly at another person in black robes.

He slowly spoke:

"And you, what do you want? By the way, I still don’t know who you really are."

The black-robed man bowed slightly and calmly spoke:

"I have come on behalf of my lord for one thing only: to request Lord Su to relinquish control over the Golden Province."

The smile vanished from Su Qiansuan’s face as he stared coldly at the black-robed man:

"Your lord dares to ask... Why not let him come to see me himself?"

The black-robed man merely smiled slightly:

"There’s no need for anger, Lord Su; my lord is in the Capital at this very moment... Before you reject our proposal, please allow me to say a few more words."

The Capital?

Both Su Qiansuan and the members of the Cui Family were slightly taken aback,

The former squinted and said:

"Speak."

The black-robed man spoke confidently:

"My lord unexpectedly acquired an extraordinary Supreme Treasure. With it, he can easily kill any being under ten thousand years old."

"Lord Su, would you care to try?"

Su Qiansuan squinted his eyes:

"Under ten thousand, easily kill? It’s the first time I’ve heard of such a Supreme Treasure, I’m quite interested to see it..."

Before he could finish his words.

The black-robed man smiled faintly, clapping his hands gently, and said:

"Lord Su, think carefully and recall, has anything changed in your past?"

Su Qiansuan was momentarily startled, suddenly touching his left hand.

On his left hand, without knowing when, there appeared an old scar.

His heart suddenly went cold as he realized with shock that within his own memory, from thousands like himself, when he was young and weak years ago,

a silent shift had occurred.

In that segment of memory,

was a black-robed man, wielding a sharp blade, who carved a scar into his left hand.

Later, the scar really appeared.

"Time..." Su Qiansuan’s voice had become hoarse, while the black-robed man simply nodded lightly:

"Within ten thousand years, anything can be changed."

"So, what is your consideration on my lord’s proposal, Lord Su?"

The Purple Bamboo Forest suddenly fell into dead silence.

Su Qiansuan’s expression was extremely grim, not even interested in tasting the calming tea in his hand, just staring intently at the black-robed man before him.

Suddenly, the wind rose.

A breeze swept through, causing the entire Purple Bamboo Forest to sway gently, with Su Qiansuan, the Cui Family, and the mysterious black-robed man all instinctively glancing to the side.

In the bamboo forest,

at some unknown time, stood a young man dressed in coarse linen, wearing straw sandals, and a bamboo hat, 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

beside him was a girl who resembled an Immortal.

"It’s rather lively here."

The young man smiled and spoke.
