Chapter 38: The Evil King Retreats and Offers Tribute

  On the eve of the Holy Yuan Festival, every household hangs lanterns and colorful decorations, offers good tribute in front of their ancestors' portraits, lights incense and candles, and worships their ancestors.

  Su Dao Xing in the living room of the mansion placed tribute, incense and candles, he bowed to his grandfather's portrait hanging in the center of the main hall.

  The majestic old man in the picture is Su Dao Xing's grandfather, Su Lao's own brother, a famous general of his time. Unfortunately, with the passage of years, people have forgotten that there was such a famous general in the history of the Eastern Emperor Dynasty.

  "If Grandfather hadn't passed away, he would be the one in charge of the Su family now." Su Dao woke up after hearing stories about his grandfather's heroic deeds, and back then, his own grandfather was someone even Old Su had to admire.

  Whoosh!

  A terrifying aura enveloped Su Daoming.

  Su Dao Xing's spiritual power inside his body became chaotic, he sensed that the terrifying aura was a killing aura emitted by a cultivator in the True Immortal Realm.

  "Die!" A dark and terrifying voice pierced into Su Daoying's ears, almost shattering his eardrums.

  The cultivator in the dark made his move, a sword light like a strip of white silk slashed out diagonally.

  Su Dao Xing turned around, grasping his curved knife, staring at the sword light, and felt an unavoidable feeling. He raised his knife to block the sword light.

  Bang!

  A blue object suddenly appeared on one side of the sword light and shattered it.

  "This Daoist friend, why make it difficult for the younger generation? If you're interested, let Su Mou accompany you to play." Mr. Su appeared in the void, stepping on a green long sword, and the chain in his hand was drawn towards a house ridge.

  Boom!

  The roof of the house was shattered by a chain, and a black shadow burst out, turning into a floating light that flashed away.

  "Su Da, you can't follow him for the rest of your life. As long as he's alone, I'll take his life." The ominous words came from the place where the dark shadow disappeared.

  Su Dao's mind was shocked, and he recognized the identity of the person who made that voice. He muttered to himself: "The evil king of the imperial court has actually taken action personally. Now it can be confirmed that the evil king's power has been against me all along."

  "Thank you, Mr. Su, for saving my life." Su Dao Xing bowed deeply to Mr. Su in the empty space.

  "Tonight, the moonlight is great, I just came out to appreciate the moon and passed by this place." Mr. Su looked up at the sky, feeling embarrassed, a dark cloud in the sky covered the sky, where was the moon? It's really ridiculous.

  Mr. Su disappeared silently into thin air.

  Su Dao Xing returned to his own room and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed. With Su Da Ye protecting him, he could rest easy.

  The sky revealed a thin layer of pale white.

  In the ancestral hall of the Su family, an old lady who was not inferior to any man was worshiping her ancestors in the hall.

  Old Lady Su!

  Su Lao's mother, the oldest elder in the Su family.

  In the ancestral hall, Su Lao, two great offerings, Su Qinghe, Su Qingfeng, and a group of core disciples from the Su family came to worship their ancestors.

  "Come here, come here, stand by my side and let our ancestors take a good look at these two promising children." Old Lady Su didn't show any signs of aging, looking like a middle-aged woman. Her loving gaze fell upon Su Daolin and Su Daofei as she beckoned them over.

  Su Daolin and Su Dafei walked to either side of Old Lady Su, their faces flushed with excitement, and together they paid their respects to their ancestors.

  Mrs. Su paid homage to her ancestors, followed by Old Man Su, Su Qinghe, and Su Qingfeng, with the rest of the Su family members paying their respects in order of seniority.

  Su Dao woke up early in the morning and paid respects to his ancestors.

  Old Lady Su just gave Su Dao Xing a faint glance, she didn't look at this family's number one disciple with high regard.

  After worshiping their ancestors, the Su family started setting off firecrackers, and the sound of the firecrackers drowned out all the other noises.

  Clap! Clap! Clap!

  Not just Su's family, every household is setting off firecrackers. This is the first shot of the Lunar New Year, symbolizing a prosperous start with one loud bang.

  When Old Lady Su walked past Su Daoxue, the spiritual energy in his body immediately reacted, and he only then realized that Old Lady Su was actually a strong cultivator of the True Immortal Realm.

  He finally understood that the one who was holding down the Su family wasn't Old Man Su, nor the two great ancestral offerings, but rather this old lady, Mrs. Su, who looked like she couldn't withstand a gentle breeze, yet was actually a deeply hidden cultivator.

  Mr. Su and Shi Xi saw Old Lady Su bowing their heads in courtesy.

  Su Dao Xing secretly speculated that Su Lao Tai Jun was a cultivator with a higher cultivation level than the two great offerings.

  The Su family has Old Lady Su in charge, and they have no worries for a hundred years.

  Su Lao Tai Jun took Su Dao Lin, Su Dao Fei, Su Lao, Su Qing He, Su Qing Feng and Su Dao Lan to talk heart-to-heart and the others all left the ancestral hall.

  "Da Sheng, come with me to go fishing!" Mr. Su shouted at Su Da Sheng who was about to leave. He had a habit of going fishing and now he had to protect Su Da Sheng at all times, so he called out to Su Da Sheng to go fishing together, killing two birds with one stone.

  "Alright! Mr. Su." Su Daoming responded with a bow.

  Mr. Su led Su Dao Xing and Su Dao Ming out of the Su family home to a lake on the outskirts of Ye Su City.

  Su Daoming took out a prepared fishing rod and handed it to Mr. Su, then took out another one for Su Daoxing, and himself waited on the side.

  Mr. Su sat on a rock and started bottom fishing, his hook was actually a straight hook.

  Su Dao Xing was on one side, also using a straight hook to fish, without any bait.

  Mr. Su caught a big fish in no time.

  Su Dao Xing slowly looked out and saw the knocking on the door, it turned out that Mr. Su was using his spiritual energy to fish, suddenly enlightened, sensing Mr. Su's method of operating his spiritual energy, drawing a calabash according to the outline.

  Su Dao Woke shot out a spiritual energy like a swimming fish into the water, searching for big fish. Like a line pulling on a big fish biting the hook, he pulled the fishing rod and caught the big fish.

  "It turned out that Mr. Su was teaching me the method of circulating spiritual energy." Su Dao Xing only then understood the intention behind Mr. Su bringing him fishing, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

  Mr. Su's constant changes in the operation of spiritual energy brought great benefits to Su Dao Xing.

  Su Dao Xing can now operate his spiritual energy, attach his consciousness to the spiritual energy, and that spiritual energy is his eyes. Wherever the spiritual energy travels, everything is revealed in detail.

  "The spiritual energy is indeed mysterious and has so many wonderful uses." Su Dao Xing felt as if a large door had opened before his eyes, a door leading to the world of cultivators.

  Su Dao Xing Fu reached his spiritual heart, and with the addition of these days of diligent cultivation, the spiritual energy in his body had already filled up to a certain extent. At this moment, the 14th shackle on his body suddenly broke.

  He became the Fourteenth Master of the Wu family. This time's promotion was granted by Grandmaster Su, and he stood up to bow deeply to Grandmaster Su.

  Mr. Su smiled faintly and said, "When the human body breaks through the 14th shackle, it can attach to objects with intention. In fact, before advancing, you have already been able to attach to spiritual energy with intention, and have reached the realm of the 14th Shackle Martial King, so break through immediately."

  Su Dao Xing suddenly realized, and in a moment of excitement, his consciousness attached itself to a crawling insect. Indeed, he found himself transformed into that insect, viewing the world from its perspective.

  "Mind attachment has a great taboo, that is, the object of your mind attachment must not be stronger than you, otherwise you will immediately suffer from the backlash of your mind, remember, remember!" Mr. Su warned.

  "Remember Mr. Su's teachings carefully." Su Dao Xing replied, he glanced at Su Dao Ming with a hint of envy, having a renowned master like Su Da, it was only a matter of time before he became a top-notch martial king.

  Su Daoming was equally envious of Su Daoxian, as the master's single sentence could awaken him, showing that Su Daoxian's innate talent was extraordinary and far surpassed his own by a hundred times.

  Su Daoxing and Mr. Su fished until dusk, with their baskets full of fish behind them. They were simply savoring the pleasure of fishing; otherwise, they could have caught hundreds or thousands of big fish in a short while.

  "When you return to the Huqing Mansion, I will secretly protect you. Once you arrive at the Huqing Mansion, I will no longer protect you. It's best for you to stay in the Huqing Mansion, where no one dares to harm you. If you leave the Huqing Mansion, that evil king's power will surely assassinate you." Mr. Su's words formed a line and entered Su Daowei's ears, while Su Daoming beside him didn't hear anything at all.

  "Can you kill that evil king? I suppose your cultivation is above that of the evil king." Su Dao Xing said in a low voice to Mr. Su.

  Mr. Su smiled bitterly and said, "I and that evil king are evenly matched, neither of us can kill the other. If you want to kill that evil king, go ask Old Lady Su for help. If you were Su Daolin, she might have taken action, but you're Su Daoxian, I reckon she won't take action. Your grandfather had offended her many times when he was alive, otherwise your grandfather wouldn't have passed away so early."

  Mr. Su immediately shut his mouth, feeling that he had said too much and revealed some secrets that should not have been revealed.

  Upon hearing this, Su Dao's heart was turbulent with waves, and it turned out that his grandfather's death had something to do with Old Lady Su. It was likely a shocking case that had been covered up.

  Mr. Su packed up his things and ended his fishing trip.

  Su Dao Xing followed Su Da Sheng back and returned to his residence, clearing away distractions and beginning to experience the changes within himself after advancing to the 14th rank of Wu Wang.

  His meridians expanded more than double, his acupoints expanded more than double, and his perception increased by more than tenfold. The most incredible thing was that he could use his mind to possess some objects, although he couldn't control them, but he had a feeling that if he became strong enough, he could control objects, at which point everything could become his weapon, and he could manipulate flying swords to take the enemy's head from ten miles away.

  He thought of Su Da's master stepping on the green sword and hovering in mid-air, his blood boiling with excitement. If one day he could step on the flying sword and fly, it would be incredibly refreshing and exhilarating, a hundred times more thrilling than lightness kung fu.

  After the Holy Yuan Festival, young men from noble families all visit relatives and friends, bringing their families to climb mountains and enjoy the scenery.

  Su Dao Xing was the only one who stayed in the mansion, cultivating day after day, and occasionally going out just to stroll around the city, fearing that he would be assassinated by the evil king's forces, so he didn't leave the city.

  Su Duan and Su Hongzhuo have been by Su Daowei's side all along.

  A steward of the Su family sent a jade pendant to Su Daoming, with this jade pendant, Su Daoming can travel freely in the Eastern Capital and has the identity of a noble son, qualified to ride horses into the city, and enjoy all the privileges that a noble son has.
