Chapter 271 – Su Su Was Captured?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the depths of her consciousness, Little Su Su was being reprimanded.
She said aggrievedly, “It’s not my fault. I’ve already beaten him to death once. Who knew that he could still come back to life?”
Meanwhile, Halles looked at the small girl in front of him in shock.
How was that possible?
Why!
There was clearly no change in the quality of her True Qi, but the attack she unleashed was completely different from before.
He did not know that although Su Su’s current attack did not have that kind of vast power, all her power was controlled to an infinitesimal degree.
By perfectly condensing all her strength on a single point, the effect would naturally be stronger.
Even at the same cultivation realm, Su Wen’s control over his power was still inferior to her current form!
Halles took several hits from her in succession!
“Pfft!”
Halles spat out another mouthful of blood.
He was sent flying!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Halles gritted his teeth and flapped his wings, wanting to escape!
But at this moment!
Suddenly, he felt as though he had been struck by an invisible hammer!
His consciousness went blank!
Blood flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose as he fell straight down from the sky.
At this moment, Su Su frowned slightly! Her face turned pale.
Her body was still not strong enough and her development was not complete. She could not fully unleash her mental strength!
In her current state, Su Su’s mental strength was much stronger than that of her usual self.
“Big Sis, can you give me back my body?” Little Su asked in her consciousness when she saw that Halles could not take it anymore.
(TL Note: To make it easier to differentiate, I’ll call the OG Su Su as Little Su and the elder version as Big Su. Let me know if it sounds funny in the main comments section.)
The corners of Big Su’s mouth curled up into a cold smile. “No, since I’m out, I’ll take control of the body!”
“Big Sis, we agreed that each of us will take 10 years…” Little Su felt a little aggrieved.
But Big Su raised her head proudly in response. “If I don’t come out, you would have died. Since I saved your life, it’s fair for you to give me the rest of your time, right?”
Little Su was unconvinced. “But if you don’t come out, you’ll die too! I’m not the only one using this body.”
“Then you can give me half, right? You’ve been outside for so long, it’s time for me to take a breather!” Big Su had no intention of giving up the body now.
“Boohoo! You’re bullying me!”
“I didn’t! You’re too stupid. Who asked you to be unable to defeat him?”
At this moment, Halles had already gotten up from the ground. He was not dead, but had a splitting headache. His control over his True Qi was extremely scattered. When he looked at Su Su again, his eyes were filled with fear!
That terrifying mental strength completely exceeded his understanding.
Who was this girl? What sort of person was she?
Suddenly, Su Su moved!
Her feet landed on Halles head.
Terrifying mental energy extended downwards.
In Halles’ eyes, Su Su was currently akin to a god. He had no desire nor way to betray her.
A moment later, Su Su’s eyes flashed.
“There’s such a benefit to killing the demons?”
Looking at Halles under her feet, Big Su coldly commanded, “Fly! To Nine Nether Island!”
Obviously, Su Su had obtained a lot of information from Harres just now!
After Big Su spoke, she suddenly clapped a hand over her forehead.
She felt the onset of a splitting headache.
“Big Sis! Our body can’t withstand your mental strength right now. You have to know when to stop! You can’t use too many mental strength techniques,” Little Su said with concern.
Big Su was a little angry when she heard this. “It’s all because you don’t work hard! All you do is play!”
Little Su was however unconvinced by her words. “You were also very happy when I was off playing!”
Although these two sisters could only control one person’s body, the other person could experience the same emotions the user of the body felt.
It was just that one was proactive while the other passive.
Moreover, in the first few years, Big Su was often in a deep sleep to reduce the burden on the body’s brain and soul.
It was only when Su Su’s physical strength gradually increased that Big Su woke up a little more.
Halles was now filled with fear for the fellow on his forehead.
He did not want to die, so he flapped his wings and flew into the air.
A month later, at the human world front line, Su Su was still riding on the neck of Halles.
However, they were currently walking on the ground.
Flying randomly through the defense line was nothing but courting death.
As the two of them headed deeper into the Demon Race’s territory…
“Big Sis… I want to find Daddy and Mommy!”
“We’ll go when I get back!”
“Why?” Little Su was confused.
Big Su looked in the direction of the demonic realm and muttered, “I can feel something there…”
Compared to Little Su’s already terrifying spiritual perception, her spiritual perception was even more abnormal.
“Then let Daddy and Mommy come along!” Little Su still wanted to look for Su Wen and Ni Hongxiao more.
Big Su fell silent and did not reply.
Just as they were about to reach the edge of the human defense line, Halles suddenly flapped his wings and flew into the sky with Su Su, heading straight for the Demon Realm!
If he delayed too much, the chances of being discovered would increase. When it was time to run, he had to run quickly. He still had a lot of experience in illegal immigration!
Not far away, a human general that was leading the troops on patrol widened his eyes!
“Su Su? Am I seeing things?” Wu Lie rubbed his eyes.
He had originally brought people out to patrol, but did not expect to have come across this scene!
“General, on the back of that demon seems to be a little girl!”
The guards also noticed the scene.
There was some distance between them, but it was not too far.
It was at a distance where people could observe, but it was impossible to attack.
Looking at the departing Su Su, Wu Lie’s expression changed!
“Return to the city!”
“But our patrolling mission today is not completed yet!”
“We still have to return to the city immediately!”
Wu Lie did not hesitate.
He immediately led his men back to Frost Iron City.
“Huh? You said you saw Su Su? She was captured by the demons?” Su Wen frowned.
Wu Lie nodded seriously and said, “That’s right!”
“You didn’t see wrongly?” Su Wen still couldn’t believe it. Logically speaking, Su Su should be in the Flame God Sect right now!
“Absolutely!” Wu Lie patted his chest and promised, “There were soldiers who saw it together. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them!”
Seeing how confident Wu Lie was, Su Wen narrowed his eyes.
The killing intent on his body gradually spread!
He did not suspect Wu Lie. After all, Wu Lie had no reason to lie to him.
After some thought, Su Wen suddenly stood up and flew out the door!
He charged in the direction of the Demon Race!
No matter the reason! He would not let Su Su fall into the hands of the demons.
As he flew, he pondered about the reason for her ‘capture’.
“Why?”
Why was Su Su captured?
Could it be that someone was targeting him?
Then how did they know about Su Su?
A flying demon… a Heaven Rank expert? How did he pass through the defenses to the human world?
One had to understand that normally speaking, there might be some Earth Rank experts who secretly crossed over.
However, there were countless formations along the way, making it impossible for a Heaven Rank expert to actually be able to pass through.
“Could it be that he has a method to hide his cultivation? That’s not impossible!”
Su Wen’s mind raced.
He felt a little frustrated at this moment.
He started to spread out his divine soul, extending his perception as far as possible to search for Su Su’s traces.
But what he did not know was that Su Su, who was riding on Halles, had sensed him even earlier.
Even Little Su had already sensed it.
“Big Sis, Daddy is here. Why don’t we go find Daddy first?”
Big Su instead snapped coldly to Halles, “Fly west! Head west with all your might!”
It was in the opposite direction of Su Wen.
If Little Su was a considerate and sweet person, then Big Su was someone who did things her own way without any care for others.
“Sister! Why didn’t you go look for Father!” Little Su was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
Finally, Big Su responded to Little Su, “When Father left the Flame God Sect, he was only at the 1st Grade of Heaven Rank. Even if Father is very strong, how much could he have improved? Can’t you see the Demon Realm in Halles’ consciousness?
There are many Heaven Rank experts there! If Father knows that we’re going to the Demon Race, he definitely won’t let us go. Even if he does, he will follow us. If Father goes and is discovered, he will definitely die! Do you want to see Father die?”
Obviously, as her sister… Big Su was more rational and had her own opinions!
Little Su said aggrievedly, “But I miss Daddy!”
“No matter what, I want to go to the Demon Realm first. We won’t be exposed, but Father will definitely be!”
As she spoke, a demonic aura suddenly manifested around Su Su’s body!
Heavenly Fiend Treasured Scripture!
Big Su had actually activated Halles’ cultivation technique!
Feeling the aura behind him, Halles froze.
One had to know that the Heavenly Fiend Treasure Scripture was a secret of the Heavenly Fiend Tribe.
Only those with the bloodline of the Heavenly Fiend King could cultivate it!
The girl on him was from the Heavenly Fiend Race as well?
That’s not right! The Heavenly Fiend Tribe didn’t look like this.
Hybrid? Their ancestors had the bloodline of the Heavenly Fiend?
This seemed reasonable.
However, he didn’t ex[ect that what happened next would shock him even more.
On Su Su’s face, the skin on her body began to change, slowly transforming into the skin color of the Heavenly Fiend Tribe. A pair of black wings appeared on her back!
Fangs also grew out of her mouth.
She had turned into an infant Heavenly Fiend!
However, the only things that remained unchanged were the princess dress and Tibbers.
Hence, it became two Heavenly Fiend Tribes members flying along!
Su Wen flew all the way East, but he could not find anyone!
There was no trace of her at all.
This made him even more anxious.
This whole thing had to be premeditated!
Someone must have captured Su Su to target him.
Otherwise, how could he not discover anything along the way!
Seeing that there was a Demonic Tribe encampment in front of him, Su Wen frowned!
He didn’t manage to catch up to them?
At this moment, a torrential demonic Qi surged.
A member of the Demonic Tribe flew out.
It was Chu Yinchuan who had fought with Su Wen previously!
“Why have you come to my Demonic Tribe’s encampment?”
He asked coldly.
At this moment, Chu Xun and the other demon experts had long retreated.
After all, seeing that the humans had no desire to counterattack and that the trade was gradually on the right track, they had to return to their own regions to manage them.
The two sides were not considered enemies now, but rather partners.
As one of the Demonic Tribe’s generals, Chu Yinchuan had also obtained quite a few benefits.
Of course, even with the blessing of heaven and earth, it would still take a long time for someone of his caliber to break through.
However, he was naturally not in a good mood when he saw Su Wen.
Being forced into a retreat by Su Wen was not something to be happy about.
Su Wen looked at Chu Yinchuan as his mind raced.
He would naturally not reveal the truth just like that.
“A Heaven Rank demon invaded our borders just now!” he sneered. “I was chasing after him!”
Chu Yinchuan frowned and said, “It should be the other tribes. My Demonic Tribe and our subordinate races have already given strict orders not to go to the defense line of your human world. As for the others, my tribe doesn’t have any say!”
Su Wen smiled. “I see. I’ll take my leave then!”
He did not act rashly.
At this moment, Su Wen had gradually calmed down after his initial anxiety.
In his opinion, this must have been done on purpose.
Since Su Su was captured, they must be targeting him. If Su Su was really in the hands of the other party, even if he wanted to make a move now, once the other party threatened Su Su’s life, he could only give in..
On the contrary, even if he did not say anything, the person who captured Su Su would definitely come looking for him!
After all, that person had put in so much effort, how could they not want any benefits in return?
He had no enemies in the Demon World, so it was impossible for them to want to take revenge!
Chu Yinchuan watched Su Wen leave. After making sure that Su Wen could not hear him, he coldly said, “Hmph, if not for the deal, I would have killed you today!”
His voice transmitted into the Demonic Tribe’s encampment, and many of them heard it.
After all, everyone knew that he was defeated by Su Wen the previous time…
In Chu Yinchuan’s eyes, this was him settling his bruised ego.
Yep, in any sort of world, there would always be people who liked to brag and care about their face.
Su Wen flew back to Frost Iron City and immediately went to look for Ni Hongxiao.
At this moment, Ni Hongxiao was still experimenting.
To her, the greatest pleasure was to explore the essence of the world.
“Su Su might have been captured by the demons.”
Su Wen went straight to the point. He knew that this woman was not a weak willed person.
But this time, it really exceeded his expectations.
Ni Hongxiao stopped what she was doing and raised her head, her eyes revealing fear!
This was the first time Su Wen felt such strong emotions from her.
“Is she still alive?” Ni Hongxiao’s voice was trembling.
Su Wen went forward and hugged her. He said in a low voice, “She should still be alive. The other party went deep into the human world and took Su Su away. He must have brought her back to the Demon Race from thousands of miles away to threaten me and extort benefits from me. Therefore, I believe that they will definitely come to find me.”
A ruthless glint flashed across Su Wen’s eyes. “I just don’t understand how they knew about Su Su.”
Finally, he made a judgment. “There might be traitors in the Flame God Sect!”
Su Wen said in a deep voice.
Ni Hongxiao’s gaze turned cold as she said, “You’re saying that someone from the Flame God Sect colluded with the demons and sold them information about Su Su?”
Su Wen nodded seriously. “That’s very possible! Otherwise, why would someone suddenly target Su Su?”
Ni Hongxiao’s killing intent rose: “These old fellows, it seems I have to give them some tricks!”
Su Wen hurriedly stopped her. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “Don’t be rash. It might not really be the Flame God Sect. Because from the past, the Yan God Sect treated Su Su very well and really nurtured her as their successor. There’s no reason for them to suddenly hand her over to the Demon Race! Perhaps it was done by an individual itself! It’s just that I’m not sure who this person is!”
“However, we still have to talk to them about this!” Su Wen said coldly.
Not long after, all the members of the Flame God Sect were gathered by Su Wen!
The Flame God Sect’s Ancestor smiled, “Little Su, why did you call us here?”
Su Wen stared at his face for a long time.
He could not tell that anything was wrong.
The ancestor of the Flame God Sect felt his hair stand on end as he received Su Wen’s scrutiny.
“Is there something wrong with my face?”
Su Wen sighed and said, “Su Su was captured by the demons!”
All of the Heaven Rank experts in the room stood up in shock at his words!
The Flame God Sect’s Ancestor said with a solemn expression, “Little Su, this matter cannot be joked about!”
Su Wen’s honorary master, Shi Yu, also said, “Su Wen, you can’t speak nonsense about this matter! Su Su is far away in the sect, so how can she be abducted by the Demon Race?”
Su Wen laughed coldly, “Would I joke about my own daughter? When Wu Lie brought his men to patrol the area, he realized that Su Su had been abducted by the demons. When I chased after her, it was already too late.
I’m not afraid to put it bluntly, but I’m afraid some of the people here might also be involved in this matter! I’ll just speak out all the ugly words now. If I catch you, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
The Flame God Ancestor immediately shouted loudly, “Not just you! Even this old man will absolutely not let off that traitor! Now, everyone, swear on the name of the Flame God Dao Ancestor that this has nothing to do with this matter. Anyone who is related will have their internal organs burn, suffer from Qi Deviation, and be unable to recover from the tribulation!”
As he spoke, he coldly said, “I’ll go first!”
“I, Su Bingshen, swear in the name of the Flame God Dao Ancestor that if I collude with the demons and cause Su Su to be captured, my internal organs will be burned for internal fire, and I will suffer from Qi deviation and die!”
(TL Note: Same pronunciation but different ‘Su’ surname from Su Wen.)
Su Bingshen was the original name of the Flame God Sect’s Ancestor!
His oath was extremely heavy and unforgiving.
To an ordinary person, swearing an oath was not actually much different from farting.
However, for cultivators at the Heaven Rank, it was different.
This was especially so for swearing to the Dao Ancestor. If they really dared to go against the oath, it would greatly affect their cultivation in martial arts.
If one suffered from Qi deviation, the most likely scenario was only death!
It had to be said that Su Bingshen was completely decisive and ruthless to himself.
After all, he himself was the person with the highest cultivation and status in the Flame God Sect.
His current action was to eliminate Su Wen’s suspicion.
With Su Wen’s current combat strength and his relationship with the two Saints, even he did not dare to underestimate him.
If it was an ordinary person, he might not have done it so thoroughly due to the difference in their status.
To put it bluntly, it was more or less a little embarrassing for an ancestor to make such an oath.
However, once he left some leeway, Su Wen would definitely suspect something and the matter could no longer be explained.
Since Su Bingshen had done so, even if the people below were unhappy, no one dared to disobey.
One by one, they swore oaths.
Their openness completely dispelled Su Wen’s suspicion.
Seeing that everyone was so understanding, Su Wen laughed loudly when the last person finished his oath. “Seniors, there’s no need to be like this! I trust all of you very much. There’s no need to be like this. Patriarch, you’re the same. We’re all family, there’s no need to be like this!”
He gave everyone a way out and said, “Su Su has disappeared, I’ll have to trouble everyone to take care of this matter. In two days, it will be the trading day. The Snow Saint has rewarded me with 30% of the management fees this time, so I’ll take it back and share it with everyone in the sect. After all, we’re all family!”
Su Wen naturally knew that these people were giving him face, but some of them would secretly be unhappy about being suspected.
Now that he had said his piece and given them some benefits, he could eliminate their dissatisfaction and even make them work harder to find Su Su!
As expected, everyone’s eyes lit up at his words..
