71: God will not kill my second brother
One hour later.
Cao Nie walked out of the Spiritual Jade Tower, looking arrogant and refreshed.
Cao Qingrou followed beside him, a blush still on her pretty face, her eyes shimmering with water.
Her legs trembled slightly as she tightly hugged Cao Nie's strong arm, her eyes nervously scanning the surroundings, afraid that others would notice her current unusual state.
The two had just returned to the Listening Rain Pavilion shortly after.
"Su Yan of the Tantancheng Su Family has come to fulfill the three-year agreement."
The voice shook the clouds, spreading throughout the entire Cao Mansion, and even the citizens of the Great Xia Immortal City could hear this roar.
The Cao Family now possessed nine Gui Xu Realm cultivators.
And there was Cao Nie, a terrifying Asking Dao Realm existence.
The Cao Family was already a hegemonic force.
They were the strongest force in the surrounding hundred Dao Domains; who would dare to cause trouble in the Cao Family?
Some cultivators rushed towards the Cao Mansion.
They stopped a hundred meters away from the Cao Mansion, curiously looking towards its entrance.
There, one man and two women stood quietly, their auras condensed, their suppressed power not outwardly displayed, making people dare not underestimate them.
"Gui Xu Realm!" Someone gasped, "There's actually a Gui Xu Realm expert accompanying him. What's this man's background?"
"So what if he's Gui Xu Realm?" A nearby cultivator sneered, "It's not like the Cao Family doesn't have Gui Xu Realm cultivators, in fact..." He stopped abruptly, mentioning a forbidden existence.
"I almost forgot about that," the previous person said with an awkward smile, then shifted his gaze to the two women, his tone somewhat frivolous: "But speaking of which, these twoFairy are truly stunning."
In front of the Cao Mansion.
The beautiful woman in red listened to the swallowing sounds from behind her, frowning inwardly.
Beside her, the woman in blue suddenly turned back, her eyes cold, and she reprimanded loudly, "Look again, and I'll gouge out your dog eyes."
Her Penetrating Void Realm aura spread out.
The surrounding crowd immediately fell silent.
Such a young Penetrating Void Realm cultivator, they had truly never seen before.
The woman in blue snorted, then turned to Su Yan and encouraged him, "Brother Su Yan, don't be afraid. My father is an Asking Dao Realm expert. So what if the Cao Family has Gui Xu Realm cultivators? Today, you must return the humiliation that woman gave you."
Su Yan turned, his gaze gentle: "Don't worry, Qing Rou, with you and Shiniang here, I'm confident. Besides, I'm now at Penetrating Void Realm (Eighth Layer) and possess Po Wang Realm combat power. Cao Qingrou… will definitely lose very badly."
He couldn't help but recall a scene from three years ago.
In front of everyone in his Su Family, Cao Qingrou actually broke off their engagement on the spot. Where was he supposed to put his face?
Fortunately, afterwards...
He worked hard to improve himself.
He went to other Dao Domains for training and met the woman he loved most in his life.
Today, he would definitely win, publicly slap Cao Qingrou's face, and then break up with her. He wanted to announce to the world that he was no longer the useless person he was three years ago.
Thinking of all this, he couldn't help but feel extraordinarily excited, his peripheral vision falling on the ring on his finger.
His current achievements were inseparable from the assistance of this ring.
Coupled with his physique awakening two years ago and his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, he had absolute confidence in winning this battle.
As he was thinking this,
Cao Hui walked out from inside the mansion.
He glanced at the three of them and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
Su Yan frowned inwardly.
His Shiniang behind him was a Gui Xu Realm powerhouse. This Cao Family was a bit too rude.
Cao Hui finished speaking and turned to leave.
He had already broken through to Gui Xu Realm a few days ago.
The Creation Pills, coupled with the Spiritual Jade Tower, and the rich spiritual energy, had made him who he was today.
"Mother, this Cao Family doesn't seem to regard your Gui Xu existence at all," the woman in blue pouted unhappily.
The beautiful woman in red also looked somewhat displeased: "It's fine. They underestimate us now, but later, we'll let Su Yan win back the face he lost."
Today was Su Yan's main event; he took the lead, quickly following Cao Hui's steps with his mother and son.
On the Cao Family's training plaza.
Cao Nie and a group of Cao Family members were already standing by, ready.
On the high platform of the plaza.
He sat on the main seat, with one seat on his left and one on his right.
Hong Ling sat on one seat, and Qing Rou sat on the other.
Cao Nie had given Qing Rou the status of a vice-matron.
Below, in the nine seats, the Nine Great Elders sat with their backs straight.
Further down were thirty-six deacons, and all around were the young prodigies of the Cao Family.
He wanted to give Cao Qingrou the strongest backing.
Just at this moment,
Cao Hui led the three people from outside the plaza.
The moment the four appeared,
They attracted everyone's attention.
Su Yan and the two others also didn't expect
That his agreed-upon battle with Cao Qingrou would attract so many Cao Family members.
In his memory, Cao Qingrou was just a branch family disciple of the Cao Family; otherwise, she wouldn't have been engaged to him back then.
Compared to Su Yan's shock at the large number of people,
The beautiful woman in red's face sank, and her jade hand under her red sleeve couldn't help but clench tighter.
The woman in blue saw this scene and couldn't help but transmit a message, "Mother, what's wrong? You look terrible."
The beautiful woman in red took a deep breath and transmitted back, "The Cao Family has over forty Po Wang Realm cultivators, ten Gui Xu Realm cultivators, and that red-robed young man—I can't see through him. He gives me the same feeling as your father."
The woman in blue's pupils suddenly widened: "Asking Dao? How is that possible? Brother Su Yan said that three years ago, the strongest in the Cao Family was only Po Wang Realm. How could the Cao Family have undergone such a huge change in just three years?"
The beautiful woman in red shook her head: "Mother doesn't know either. Don't tell Su Yan yet; don't give him pressure."
The woman in blue nodded subtly, transmitting her worry: "Mother, nothing will go wrong, will it?"
The beautiful woman in red gave a reassuring look: "Don't worry, your father is also Asking Dao Realm and is already on his way. The Cao Family will be wary."
With that, the woman in blue finally relaxed.
Her father had broken through to Asking Dao Realm a thousand years ago and feared nothing within the same realm.
In the elder's seats.
Cao An was originally dozing off with his eyes narrowed.
Cao Jian, beside him, patted him.
Only then did he reluctantly open his eyes.
In the entire Cao Family, besides Cao Nie, the one he feared most was Cao Jian, their eldest brother.
The nine of them were of the same generation.
Because he was a sword cultivator, Cao Jian had the strongest combat power among them.
When they were younger, Cao Jian often found excuses to spar with them, using the opportunity to try out the sword techniques he had just learned.
This caused them immense suffering.
A few days ago,
Relying on his identity as a demonic cultivator and the boost from his Suppressing Prison Demonic Body, he had intended to teach Cao Jian a lesson.
Who would have thought he almost lost his ability to procreate?
At that time, the sword was only 0.01 centimeters away from his 'second brother'.
Afterwards, his 'second brother' was completely deflated.
These past few days, he had been tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
He wanted revenge but didn't dare, because he could still be saved now. If he went to settle scores with Cao Jian again and was truly cut down by a sword, then it would really be over.
At this moment,
Seeing Cao Hui leading people over, he was about to doze off again.
Suddenly,
"Swish."
His eyes snapped open, staring intently at the man behind Cao Hui.
His originally dim pupils instantly burst forth with terrifying brilliance.
Immediately after… his 'second brother' stood up.
"Hahahahaha, heaven does not wish for my 'second brother' to perish!"
"Slap."
A thick, large palm landed heavily on the back of his head.
He shrank his neck,Peep glanced at Cao Jian who had struck, and quickly covered his mouth.
Ignoring the strange looks from the other elders, he stared straight at Su Yan, his crimson tongue licking his dry lips: "What a stunner!"
