It was precisely because of this that Su Lie decided to first save the Su Clan members before going to find his mother.
Jin Xian didn't dare to do anything to his mother until he received the inheritance.
This was somewhat out of Su Lie's expectations. Although he was not afraid of even the eighth stage of the Revealing Astral Realm, it would be a little difficult to save the three patriarchs and the elders.
"Who are you?"
The stooped figure spoke with a hoarse voice. It should be an old man.
The old man's entire body was covered in a black robe and only revealed his cold eyes. Su Lie was also unable to see his true appearance.
"Is there such a strong Ranker in the Great Spirit Empire?"
Su Lie had doubts in his heart.
He did not know much about the experts of the three great kings. Although he had heard a few, not all of them, he was not sure.
"Su Lie!"
Su Lie said directly.
His identity would not be hidden for long. Among these people, there was definitely someone who knew him.
Otherwise, if they threatened him with the Su Family, it would truly be a joke.
"Su Lie?"
The seven Revealing Astral Realm s could not help but exclaim in shock, as if they found it hard to believe.
From the information they received, Su Lie was at most at the second or third level of Revealing Astral Realm, how did he suddenly become so strong?
They had always thought that Su Lie was possibly an expert sent by the Tianyuan Sect and hadn't thought about it at all. At this moment, his eyes swept across Su Lie's face, and those people couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air.
"It's really him …"
Those people looked as if they had seen a ghost.
They never thought that the person they had been waiting for all this time was actually a God of Slaughter with such a tyrannical cultivation.
"Oh?"
The old man's cold eyes lit up instead as he said indifferently: "Since it's you, then it's much easier to deal with. Hand over your inheritance."
Su Lie couldn't help but sneer and say, "If you want to pass on your inheritance, you'll have to use some of your power."
"Behind me in the cave, there are three patriarchs of your Su family and seventeen elders. Their life and death depends on the time it takes for me to think about them."
The old man slowly said.
Do you think that I really care about their lives so much? Now that I have obtained the inheritance, it has only been a short year and I already possess such a level of cultivation. If I continue my training, it will only be a matter of time before I break through to the Yuan Sect realm.
Su Lie sneered and said softly.
"If you really did not care about them, you would not have appeared here. At this time, you should still be hiding in the Tianyuan Sect."
The old man shook his head: "Young man, don't play tricks with me."
Su Lie's eyes narrowed and he slowly nodded his head. He said, "As expected, ginger is spicy and old."
"Let me see the three family masters and the elders. At the very least, I need to confirm that they are still alive, so I will give you half of the inheritance. Let my mother go, and I will give another half to others."
Su Lie gritted his teeth and said.
"Your three Patriarchs and Elders are in this cave abode. Do you want to meet them?"
The old man slowly said as he pointed to the door of the cave.
The seven Revealing Astral Realm Rankers also stepped aside slightly, revealing a path that led directly to the cave.
Su Lie stared at the dark entrance of the cave and frowned slightly. The entrance was like a huge black mouth waiting for him to step in and swallow him up.
"Could it be that there are experts inside?"
Su Lie's heart was slightly moved.
According to the intelligence of the Tianyuan Sect, there was only one expert in the ninth level of Revealing Astral Realm and one in the eighth level of Revealing Astral Realm. Not long ago, Su Lie had seen them in the Great Spirit Empire and even if they had rushed over, they would not have arrived so quickly.
The hunchbacked old man in front of him should be a Ranker that was hiding in the Great Spirit Empire.
"What, you don't dare?"
The old man smiled sinisterly and said, "Do you need us to bring them out?"
"If you can do this, that would be for the best!"
Su Lie nodded directly, not caring about the ridicule in the old man's tone.
"Alright!"
The old man was also stunned, but when he spoke, he signalled to the Revealing Astral Realm Ranker beside him, and said: "Go and bring Su Zhentian out."
Anxiety flashed in Su Lie's eyes. He waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I'll go in and take a look. I want to make sure that they are still alive."
He had his own plans. With the Jade Lake Painting Realm, he could save all of them in an instant, but if they only let him see Su Zhentian, even if he saved them, it would be useless. They would expose the Jade Lake Painting Realm and let them be on their guard, then they would not have a second chance.
"Up to you!"
Doubt flashed through the old man's eyes but he still nodded.
He was confident that even if Su Lie's strength exceeded their expectations, he still had the confidence to suppress Su Lie.
As for Su Lie, he too had his own confidence.
He had the dual protection of the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor and the Astral Battle Armor. Even if he were to face an Yuan Sect expert, he could temporarily contend against them. As long as he managed to get even a sliver of time, he was confident that he could save Su Zhentian and the others.
Su Lie floated down, the Kanni Sword in his hand disappeared, and his eyes swept across the old man and the seven Revealing Astral Realm Rankers, then slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"Looks like the sect underestimated the strength of the Great Spirit Empire. Just a single Imperial Grandson, yet he has so many Revealing Astral Realm Rankers in his hands."
Su Lie thought in his heart.
However, he still felt that something was amiss.
Under the control of the Tianyuan Sect, if there really were so many Innates in the Great Spirit Empire, it was definitely possible that the Tianyuan Sect did not detect them at all. Otherwise, the Great Spirit Empire would have hidden them too deeply.
Could it be that they were hiding their strength, waiting for the right time to escape the control of the Tianyuan Sect?
Su Lie shook his head slightly. With just this bit of strength, if they really wanted to oppose the Tianyuan Sect, then he would be courting death.
As long as the top ten ranked disciples of the Heavenly Rankings appeared, they would be able to easily strangle them. They wouldn't even need the Elders of the sect to help them.
On the horizon, a ray of light gradually lit up. In the faint light, Su Lie slowly walked forward and gradually approached the entrance.
The old man followed him into the cave.
When the seven Revealing Astral Realm Rankers spread out, they instantly sealed the cave entrance. No matter who came out from the cave, they would probably face the combined attack of the seven of them.
Su Lie had never come to Su Zhentian's abode before. When he was still in the Su Clan, he didn't even know that there was a cave at the back of the Su Clan's mountain.
However, Su Lie could feel the concentration of the nature spirit energy within, and could not help but shake his head slightly. In the Tianyuan Sect, even the spirit energy of the heaven and earth in the cultivation abode of the ordinary outer sect disciples was several times richer than here.
"No wonder there haven't been many experts in the Su Clan for hundreds of years. It might be because of the limits of one's talent, but this cultivation environment is also an important reason. It's really lacking."
Su Lie said in his heart.
After walking for a few minutes, they were still in the tunnel, unable to enter the cave. However, Su Lie had already sensed that the huge space in front of him seemed to be a few times larger than the one in his Lie Wei cave.
Some of them were a bit weak, but most of them could be considered normal. After Su Lie distinguished himself for a bit, he immediately discovered the auras of the three great Patriarchs, Su Zhentian, Su Zhenbei, and Su Zhennan. Amongst the elders, he also discovered Su Qing.
"There are indeed experts inside …"
In the depths of the cave, Su Lie could also feel a strong aura. His cultivation should be around the third level of Revealing Astral Realm.
Although there was still a Revealing Astral Realm in the cave, Su Lie was not really worried. With his current cultivation, he could easily kill someone at the third level of the Revealing Astral Realm.
Within the abode, a gentle light gradually shone into Su Lie's eyes. It was the unique light emitted from the Moonstone that was used to set up the cave.
Su Lie also gradually saw figures sitting cross-legged within the cave. It was the three Su Family Patriarchs and all the elders.
They looked to be in a sorry state, but fortunately, no one died. Many were slightly injured, but Su Qing seemed to be seriously injured.
"Is he really a stubborn old man?"
Su Lie could not help but shake his head.
Su Qing had that kind of stiff personality. He would never lower his head even if he died. If the Su Clan was in this kind of situation and he didn't suffer, then it would be weird.
Hearing the footsteps, Su Zhentian and the others opened their eyes and turned around.
Their eyes were all a little gloomy. It was obvious that this incident had dealt them quite a blow.
The Su Clan, which was already the number one clan in Qingyang City, was in high spirits when it was met with a blow. With the Su Clan's current strength, they were still as weak as ants when facing against true great powers.
"Su Lie …"
When they saw Su Lie slowly enter the cave, their faces were all slightly stunned.
Su Lie did not see the joy on their faces. Instead, he saw the expressions on their faces change drastically. The faces of Su Zhentian and the other two Patriarchs even revealed a trace of anxiety.
"Su Lie, who let you come back? We don't need you to save us. Quickly leave!"
Su Zhentian shouted anxiously.
Su Lie couldn't help but be stunned and his expression couldn't help but frown.
He had travelled all the way from the Tianyuan Sect to save the Su Family. Although he did not seek for any repayment from the Su Family, he was still reprimanded.
However, he also discovered that the expressions of the three Patriarchs and the elders were somewhat strange.
"Hehe …" "Since you've come in, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape so easily."
Behind Su Lie, the hunchbacked old man coldly laughed as his body slightly moved to seal the exit.
"What does that mean?"
Su Lie already had a bad premonition in his heart, "Didn't I promise you that as long as you see the three Patriarchs and the various elders, you will use half of your inheritance to exchange?"
