Chapter 174: Hatred

es."Since we can't escape, let's fight!The next moment... BOOM!!Within Su Xin's body, the bloodline power that had been greatly stimulated upon breaking through to the Nirvana Realm began to burn wild...In the Heavenly Flame Palace, Qingyang, the Lord of the Azure Yang Palace, wearing a blue robe and sporting meticulously groomed whiskers, was enjoying tea in his attic residence.

Suddenly, four figures descended at the same time.

"Palace Master Long Xing, Palace Master Di Yue, the two of you, how did you come to be here And who are these two" Qing Yang Palace Master rose to his feet, looking at the four people before him with surprise. He only recognized Palace Master Long Xing and Palace Master Di Yue, but he didn't recognize the other two.

But the aura emanating from those two was particularly powerful, even surpassing that of the several Palace Masters of Tianyan Palace.

"Qingyang..."

The head of Dragon March Palace and the head of Emperor Moon Palace looked into the eyes of the head of Qingyang Palace, but there was a hint of pity in their gaze.

"Qingyang, you colluded with the Blood Lotus Sect. We have been sent here to execute you!" The burly man in golden armor roared.

"Execution" Qingyang Palace Master's face changed drastically, and he even argued, "When did I collude with the Blood Lotus Sect"

"I ask you, are you a member of King Qi's court" the golden armored, imposing man asked.

"The headmaster of Qingyang Palace nodded."

This matter wasn't a secret within the Heavenly Flame Empire.

"The King of Qi, it was a man in golden armor, burly and strong, from the Blood Lotus Cult," he said.

"What" Qianyáng Palace Master's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Die!"

The burly man in golden armor has made his move.

"The Lord of Dragon's Palace!" Qingyang Palace Master still wanted to call for help.

"Qingyang, don't resist. The Dragon Palace master let out a long sigh.

Soon, the headmaster of Qingyang Palace was killed on the spot.

"Blood Willow, Myriad Annihilation, it's rare for you two to come to my Heavenly Inferno Palace. Stay and have a cup of tea before you leave" said the Dragonmarch Palace Master.

“No, the burly man in golden armor, Blood Willow Venerable, shook his head. “This time the incident is a big one, it’s not just your Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, even within the Nine Holy Mountains there are several powerful Nirvana Venerables who have been implicated. The Court of Law attaches great importance to this, which is why they sent us here.”

For the next period of time, we two may be busy.

The Dragon Palace master, hearing this, no longer insisted.

Several days ago, King Qi was killed on the spot by Su Xin, but the process was quite strange. After that, Chi Long Lou investigated Prince Qi's Mansion thoroughly and found several members of the Blood Lotus Sect who had used 'sacrifice' to enhance their power within the mansion, including Prince Qi himself.

Now, the entire Tianyan Imperial Dynasty was in an uproar, even the Nine Saints Mountain Judicial Court was alarmed.

The Blood Lotus Sect, that is recognized as a cult.

In the eastern desolate lands, it was a hated presence. Any territory or place where disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect were found would be immediately subjected to bloody purges. Anyone connected to them or their power would face retribution.

And this time, finding so many Xuelian Sect disciples from the Qi Wangfu clearly had something to do with that Qi Wang. And since Qi Wang is a member of the Tianyan imperial family, all those close to him within the Tianyan imperial family have been purged, even those who supported Qi Wang before in the Jiusheng Mountain were implicated.

……

Yongning County, Su Family.

"Young Master, the head of the Luo family and even an ancestor at the Nirvana Realm from the Luo family came to our Su family in person. They said they wanted to apologize to our Su family. Elder Great One asked Young Master if you would like to meet them" A member of the Su family stood before Su Xin and spoke respectfully.

"The Luo family" Su Xin's heart skipped a beat.

He had heard of the Luo family before. They were a prominent family within the Heavenly Flame Empire, comparable in power to the Situ family. Previously, they had engaged in trade with the Su family. However, since news of his supposed death spread, the Luo family's dealings with the Su family became increasingly dominant, even bordering on malicious.

It's not just the Luo family; this year, quite a few families or powerful individuals have also offended the Su family.

Now that I know they're back, one by one they've come to apologize.

"Tell the Grand Elder, if anyone else comes to apologize or visits me, unless they are someone I already know well, just have them handle it themselves. There's no need to inform me," Su Xin said.

"Though they nodded their heads, inwardly he marveled at them."

This is the young master of his Su family, huh All those who came to apologize or visit him specially were heads of families and ancestors, almost all powerful figures in the Nirvana realm. Their status was very high, but their young master didn't even bother to see them.

Just at that moment, Su Xin's spiritual consciousness sensed that the door to his father's closed-door meditation room had been opened.

"Has father come out"

Su Xin was immediately delighted and went to request an audience right away.

……

In the dim study, Su Xin stood respectfully, while Su Bai, with his back turned to him, looked at him after turning around.

Under the flickering candlelight, Su Xin saw a face that was aged and almost unrecognizable.

"Father!!"

"What on earth is going on"

"What have you been through"

Su Xin looked at his father in astonishment.

This face is truly aged, with deep wrinkles and various yellowish patches. Its hair is also withered and graying. The whole person appears lifeless, as if one foot has already crossed the threshold into the grave.

Six years ago, when I left the Su family to go to Jiusheng Mountain, Su Bai's face although had aged a bit more, it wasn't this lifeless and as if he could die at any moment.

"Don't worry, father can't die for now."

Su Bai's voice was unusually low and gravelly, sounding incredibly weak.

He raised his head, his eyes cloudy and unfocused, scrutinized Su Xin for a while, before saying: "Not bad, six years, you've matured quite a bit, your strength has also improved a lot."

Although Su Bai couldn't quite grasp Su Xin's current strength, just by standing there, the faint aura emanating from him gave Su Bai a palpable pressure, clearly indicating that his strength was far superior to his own.

Looking back a year ago, when he first learned of Su Xinshen's death, his heart felt as if it had almost died completely. He felt that heaven was being unfair to him and his son.

But now seeing Su Xin intact and standing before him, he finally had some consolation in his heart.

“My father told me, when you can single-handedly destroy the Situ family, he will tell you everything. And now, it's time.”

Su Bai sat on the seat, fell silent for a while, and then looked at Su Xin again, "Xin'er, do you know why our ancestor died"

Su Xin shook his head.

"Our ancestor, he was killed by his own father," Su Bai said in a low voice.

"What" Su Xin stared at Su Bai in astonishment.

"Surprised But that's the truth," Su Bai said calmly, "Look, what's this"

Su Bai sank his right hand, in his palm, a special force gathered.

"Bloodline power" Su Xin was startled. "Father is a bloodline awakener too"

“Not bad, and the awakening is still at the peak of the first-grade bloodline. Because of this, when you returned to the Su family from the Demon Prison and showed your strength in the family competition, I had already noticed that you had awakened your bloodline, and its level was extremely high,” said Su Baichen.

Su Xin was secretly amazed.

Although the Pinnacle Bloodline is far inferior to his own supreme bloodline, in the Eastern Desolation, it is considered an extremely high bloodline. Such a genius would be enough for many sects and powers to fight over.

"My father was a free-spirited person by nature. When he was young, relying on his talent, he didn't want to stay in the small Heavenly Flame Empire. So even though my father had enough strength back then, he chose not to cultivate in the Heavenly Flame Palace but instead ventured out into the world alone."

At the beginning, his life as a father was carefree and easygoing. His strength also improved quickly, even reaching the peak of the three-step Nirvana realm. He was only one step away from becoming a four-step Nirvana venerator!

Later, I also met your mother.

"Mother" Su Xin's heart skipped a beat.

He has no memory of his mother from birth to the present, and he doesn't even know her name. In his youth, he also asked Su Bai Chen, but Su Bai Chen never answered directly, so to this day, he knows nothing about his mother.

"Your mother, named Liuxingan, is the kindest person I've ever met in my life. From the moment I saw her, I was completely captivated. And later, I ended up with your mother, and two years later, you were born."

Originally, I got along well with your mother until one day, someone showed up.

Su Bai's words seemed to chill the air around him as his eyes grew cold.

"The man claimed to be your mother's son and said that your mother was a maidservant under his command."

He was furious about your mother and me being together, he immediately grabbed your mother. I tried to resist, but the difference in strength was too great. With just a flick of his finger, he severely injured me and left a very special seal inside my body.

"According to him, he wouldn't let me die so easily. He wants my entire life to be spent in endless pain and torment!"

"How could this be" Su Xin frowned deeply.

She's just a maidservant, not my wife.

Just because one of his maids is with someone else, he's this furious Does he want to make his own father suffer and torment for the rest of his life

"It's laughable, isn't it" Su Bai chuckled sarcastically. "I found it ridiculous back then too. What's even more ridiculous is that when your mother begged him for mercy, she mentioned that this young master had three thousand maidservants under his command!"

“Haha! Three thousand maidservants Those three thousand maidservants are useless to him. They're just a personal possession that satisfies his possessiveness. He can't stand it if even one maid is with someone else. In the end, he not only directly separated you and your mother, but he also placed a curse on me, making me suffer the most pain imaginable. It's truly ridiculous!”

Su Bai smiled, but the smile was extremely tragic.

"Fortunately, fortunately he didn't know that at the time you mother and I had already given birth to you, otherwise he would never have allowed you to live in this world."

“And after that man took your mother away, I took you back to the Su family. But because of the seal inside me, my cultivation began to decline, falling from the peak of the Third Step to the Second, then the First, and eventually even to the Void Breaking Realm…”

And, day and night, every moment I suffer endlessly from the pain inflicted by the restrictions. It feels like tens of thousands of ants are constantly gnawing at your flesh.

"That kind of pain, worse than death, made me want to end my own life countless times!"

Finally, the ancestor came up with a solution. He set up three seals within my body. Although these three seals sealed most of my power, they did alleviate some of my pain. However, I still endure immense suffering every day and have to rely on swallowing pills to barely survive.

“I can't make a move easily yet. If I do, it's very likely that the seal inside me will loosen.”

And not only me, even the ancestor didn't expect that the restrictions left by that person in my body would be so powerful that while the ancestor was setting up a seal for me, he was backlashed by the restrictions, which eventually led to his death.

Speaking of this, Su Bai's voice became a little frantic.

"Xiner, back then when you didn't follow the Ancestor's arrangement to marry into the Tianyan Imperial Family, everyone in the Su family thought it was your fault that our family fell…"

"But in reality, I am the true culprit of the Su family!!"

"It was I with my own hands who killed our ancestor!!"

Su Bai sank into agony, his cries filled with self-blame and grief.

And Su Xin stood there, his face flushed red, his entire being consumed by boundless rage!!

……id around them. They were Binghe Jianzun and Bi Xue Mozun, who had come to rescue Su Xin.As soon as they appeared, they noticed the presence of the alluring man ahead."He... the Shadow Venerable""How...
