Chapter 1016: Chapter 635: Su Wudi’s Repayment of Favors (4K)

“Why are you asking this?”

Su Wudi noticed the peculiar expressions on everyone’s faces and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“Oh, nothing, just marveling at how wise and brilliant the old master is, truly a great mind hidden behind modesty.”

“Hahaha, you cheeky brat, you’re underestimating this old man. I merely misjudged the strength of the natives on this Ancient Star, which is why I carelessly fell into their trap.”

Su Wudi understood Lu Changsheng’s insinuation but dismissed it with a laugh.

After all, Su Wudi had seen much of the world, and this minor setback was nothing to him.

“Old Ancestor, you don’t know this, but during your absence, the Ancient Huangfu Family and the Ancient Helian Family have been constantly bullying the Su Clan. Without your protection, our Su Clan was nearly destroyed…”

Su Xiaoqi complained bitterly to Su Wudi about the two major Ancient Families’ misdeeds.

“Outrageous! That the Helian Family and Huangfu Family would dare treat you like this—do they think nothing of Su Wudi?”

Hearing Su Xiaoqi’s accusations, Su Wudi’s fury erupted, his hair standing on end.

When Su Wudi was presiding over the Su Clan, when had those two families ever dared to act so brazenly?

The Su Clan’s rise as a major power in the Immortal Realm wasn’t due to schemes or cunning but was entirely built upon Su Wudi’s domineering strength.

For the two families to exploit the situation, striking while the iron was hot, attempting to seize the Clan’s Treasure and oppressing the descendants of the Ancient Su Family—

Su Wudi was ready to storm the two families’ territories and demolish their ancestral halls.

“Our Su Clan and these two families are irreconcilable!”

“One day, they will pay their blood debts with blood!”

“Do they think the Ancient Su Family is easy to bully?”

The Su Clan’s Supreme Elders were filled with righteous indignation.

The grudge between the Su Clan and the Ancient Helian and Huangfu Families had reached a breaking point.

During the Su Clan Elders’ imprisonment, the two families assaulted the Su Clan, killed many clan members, and looted part of the clan’s treasures.

If not for Su Yun escaping with the most important treasures, the Clan’s Treasure might have already fallen into their hands.

Before the two families completely turned against each other, Su Yun played them against one another, pitting tiger against wolf, forcing the two factions into conflict, and buying valuable time.

“Who would have thought that those two families could stoop to such despicable and shameless methods.”

“From now on, we are like fire and water with them—casualties will be inevitable.”

Su Xiaoqi’s parents also shared a deep hatred for the two families.

While they were imprisoned, the two families had nearly caused their daughter’s death; how could they not harbor resentment?

“It’s time you left this place. This is not a place for you.”

The native chieftain spoke then, his voice ancient and somber.

He had agreed to let the Su Clan Elders go, but that didn’t mean the two sides were no longer enemies.

Su Wudi’s fighting spirit surged. “You tricked me into this Great Formation back then, trapping me with the array left by the Qing Emperor. I’m unconvinced! Why don’t we have another duel?”

The native chieftain frowned, but the pride of the Qing Emperor Clan made him reluctant to refuse Su Wudi’s challenge.

Seeing the situation escalating, Su Yun interjected to dissuade Su Wudi. “Old Ancestor, when we return, the Ancient Helian Family and the Ancient Huangfu Family might strike first and declare war on our Su Clan. This is a turbulent time. We should avoid unnecessary conflict and conserve our strength to deal with them.”

After pondering Su Yun’s reasoning, Su Wudi relented. “Fine, anyway, I’ve already sparred with members of the Qing Emperor Clan before. Only a handful among them could defeat me honorably!”

This Su Wudi truly lived up to his name—his strength was indeed formidable.

The Qing Emperor Clan, bearing lineage similar to the Qing Emperor himself, had only a few who could defeat Su Wudi head-on.

This alone was a terrifying feat.

It was known that the Miluo Palace, an evolution of the Heavenly Emperor Clan, had already become the foremost faction among the eight Divine Palaces.

If the Qing Emperor Clan had persisted to this day, their strength would undoubtedly rival Miluo Palace’s.

In other words, Su Wudi’s combat prowess was nearly on par with the strongest Supreme Elders of Miluo Palace.

This was the heritage of a first-rate Ancient Family.

Second-rate cultivator clans like the Ancient Han Family couldn’t even begin to compare with truly first-rate lineage clans.

“I wonder, what command did the Qing Emperor give to your people that you’ve been guarding this place for countless eras?”

Lu Changsheng voiced his curiosity to the native chieftain.

This branch of the Qing Emperor Clan, following the Qing Emperor’s orders, had guarded this Ancient Star for untold years, killing anyone who set foot on it to prevent its secrets from leaking. It was truly baffling.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but wonder.

The native chieftain’s face remained cold. “Some matters are not for you to know. Leave now.”

Unable to glean an answer, Lu Changsheng could only summon the Void Boat and return to the Three Realms.

“You also have a Void Boat?”

The Su Clan Elders were once again astonished.

The Void Boat was a rare treasure. Even with the Ancient Su Family’s immense heritage over the years, they possessed only four Void Boats.

Yet Lu Changsheng casually summoned one as if it were nothing.

Even the Supreme Elders of Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua Sacred Land were deeply shocked.

This youngster seemed like Duobao Daoist, pulling out strange and wondrous artifacts at will.

Lu Changsheng rubbed his nose lazily. “Just something I came across by chance.”

“Let’s head back to the Su Clan first.”

Su Wudi was still seething with rage.

While the Ancient Su Family’s Elders were trapped on the Ancient Star, the Ancient Helian Family and Ancient Huangfu Family took advantage of their absence, claiming the Su Clan’s domain as their own.

After regaining his freedom, the first thing Su Wudi intended to do was reclaim the Su Clan and settle accounts with the two families.
