Chapter 70

The Su Family of Dan Wang, A Thousand-Year Legacy

The Su family, renowned as the foremost family in the Great Flame Dynasty, has a lineage that has lasted for a millennium. In this dynasty, the surname Su is held in the highest regard, with the ruling power often in their hands—nine out of ten rulers have been of the Su lineage. This indicates their immense influence over the kingdom. Moreover, every generation of the Alchemist Guild has had a vice president bearing the surname Su, a tradition that has never changed. While the Su family may not have openly proclaimed their dominance, their prestige often surpasses that of the royal family.

In the Main Hall of the Su Family

In the main hall of the Su family, the family head, Su Zhengyang, sat in the central seat, looking down at a trembling elder. His gaze was heavy and authoritative, a silent intimidation that did not require a display of anger.

“Have we uncovered that little beast’s identity yet?” he asked.

The elder below wore a bitter expression. “We’ve discovered it. He is the recently celebrated genius, Lin Xuan.”

“It is said that the elder Spirit Snake at the peak of the Qi Sea realm was killed by him.”

Su Zhengyang tapped his fingers on the arm of his chair. The crisp sound echoed throughout the hall, causing the elder to break into a cold sweat.

“Elder Su Fang, you know I’m not referring to this.”

Slowly rising from his seat, a cruel smile crept onto Su Zhengyang’s face. “If anyone from the nine clans can survive after offending the Su family, it would only prove our incompetence.”

“Proclaim my decree: the Lin family of Tai’an City has intentions of treason… annihilate their nine clans!”

“A genius is indeed a genius, but a dead genius is worth nothing!”

“Moreover…”

Su Zhengyang’s eyes glinted with greed.

In the Great Flame Dynasty, all opportunities belonged to the Su family!

“Understood,” the elder said, bowing respectfully before preparing to leave.

Boom!

“Divine Ability: Falling Gold Coin!”

A massive golden ingot, towering several dozen meters high, descended right into the center of the Su family compound. In an instant, the entire Su family was shaken as hundreds of figures erupted, turning into a mist of blood.

At the same time, within the Su family, terrifying auras began to awaken. Twenty figures soared into the air, representing twenty strong individuals at the Divine Ability realm!

What a terrifying number!

“Divine Ability: Hundred Flames!”

Flames ignited in the void, transforming into a fearsome dragon that stood tall, its blazing heat radiating to every corner of the Su family compound. Anything that came into contact with the flames was instantly reduced to ashes, even those at the Qi Sea realm were no exception.

Looking along the terrifying flame dragon, a figure stood at its head.

Next to the dragon’s head, a massive, gleaming object floated in the air, and another figure stood atop it.

“King of Ten Thousand Treasures, King of Hundred Flames!”

“Are the two of you looking for death?”

An aged voice echoed through the heavens and the earth, a beam of light piercing from above, illuminating the entire Su family compound and extinguishing all flames in an instant. The overwhelming presence sent chills down everyone’s spine.

In the next moment, a figure emerged from the light: an elderly man with sparse hair, a withered body bent almost to the ground, and nearly drained of vitality. Yet, as he took a step forward, the void rippled, indicating his unfathomable strength.

Clearly, this was the hidden power of the Su family—an elder at the peak of the Divine Ability realm!

“Ha, old man, you’re still alive after all,” a man dressed in tattered clothes appeared from a distance, hands clasped behind his back. He surveyed the Su family’s many Divine Ability strongmen, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Twenty Divine Ability figures represented twenty fifth-grade pills—what a grand opportunity!

“Struck it rich!”

“You young prince, are you planning to act against the Su family?”

“Don’t you fear overstepping your bounds?”

The Su family’s ancestor snorted.

“Ha, it’s not I who want to act against you, but you have provoked someone you shouldn’t have.”

The man in tattered clothes chuckled and stepped aside. A wave of air sliced through the sky, each figure a powerful being at the Divine Ability realm.

As they gazed upon these figures, the Su family’s members felt their pupils constrict.

Twenty-three figures hovered in the air, each exuding an unmatched aura—every single one was a powerhouse at the Divine Ability realm!

At the forefront of these twenty-three figures stood a young man who appeared to be no older than twenty. He floated in midair, hands behind his back, looking down at the Su family with a detached gaze, as if observing mere ants, without a trace of emotion.

The Su family’s elder furrowed his brow slightly and spoke, “Young man, how has my Su family offended you?”

“Why such a great commotion?”

He could sense three powerhouses at the King level among them, along with the immense foundation built over thousands of years. With so many Divine Ability strongmen, if not handled well, even if they won, it would only be a pyrrhic victory for the Su family.

Lin Xuan regarded the Su family members with a calm expression and said, “My name is Lin Xuan.”

“Lin Xuan?”

The elder’s brow furrowed deeper. This youth, so young yet capable of floating in the air, was clearly not someone to be trifled with. How could the Su family have offended him?

At this moment, Su Zhengyang’s expression changed, and he exclaimed, “You are Lin Xuan?”

The elder turned back, looking at Su Zhengyang with a questioning face. “Zhengyang, what is happening?”

Su Zhengyang’s face darkened. “You are Lin Xuan? Then what about my father, Su Dingzhen?”

A vague sense of foreboding washed over him.

“You’ll get to see them shortly,” Lin Xuan said flatly.

As soon as Lin Xuan’s words fell, a powerful voice rang out: “The Su family violates heaven’s principles, deceives the sovereign, and plots treason. Annihilate their nine clans!”

Countless soldiers quickly surrounded the entire Su family, led by a brawny man in golden armor wielding a great spear. His sudden roar resonated throughout the royal city, drawing the attention of countless people.

“The Su family, that Dan Wang family, is plotting treason?”

“Is that true? Why would a family of such standing want to betray the dynasty?”

“Why does it matter? If the Su family is guilty of treason, then they are guilty!”

“Traitors deserve death!”

“Is the royal family really going to act against the Su family? Haha, it seems we can ask Su the old ghost for more pills again.”

“The Su family cannot be exterminated; the Dan Wang family cannot be destroyed!”

At this moment, the royal city was in an uproar. Some closed their doors, while others flickered with excitement, rushing towards the direction of the Su family…

The countless disciples of the Su family displayed fear on their faces, unsure of why they suddenly found themselves labeled as traitors.

But this didn’t matter. For Lin Xuan, the charges were merely a way to save face for the royal family—a fabricated accusation.

For the royal family, the Ten Thousand Treasures Guild, King of Hundred Flames, and others, this also didn’t matter. In their hearts, everyone from the Su family had already become irredeemable and deserved to die.

In the face of the fifth-grade perfect pills, all members of the Su family were at fault!

Everyone’s gaze swept over the numerous Divine Ability experts of the Su family, their eyes filled with greed, as if viewing priceless treasures, eager to divide them among themselves!
