Super Invincible Immortal Doctor - Capítulo 1683

Capítulo 1683: Chapter 1684: Everyone Has Their Secrets

Splurt!

A blade hand pierced directly through Luo Zongyuan’s chest, appearing in front of Su Chengyu.

Watching as Luo Changping’s strike succeeded, Su Chengyu knew that everything had finally come to an end.

Luo Zongyuan, already a spent arrow, lacked the extraordinary Divinity Transformation technique Su Chengyu once displayed. This strike not only pierced through Luo Zongyuan’s body and spirit but also completely severed his Sea of Consciousness, leaving no trace of life to reclaim.

Feeling his own life slipping away, Luo Zongyuan’s expression turned blank, his pupils beginning to dim.

Like a fool, he stared at Su Chengyu and struggled to utter his final words: “The… Luo… Clan… will not fall…”

With these last words, Luo Zongyuan’s figure dissolved into countless specks of dust, dispersing before Su Chengyu and Luo Changping.

Luo Changping, looking at the dissipating mist, wore a somewhat grim expression. Turning his head, he explained, “I’m sorry; I didn’t expect that one strike would actually kill him.”

“It doesn’t matter. He sought death on his own—I can’t blame you. Honestly, it could even be said he came here fully prepared to die.”

Su Chengyu shook his head and spoke calmly.

Since Luo Zongyuan knew of the Blood Covenant, he naturally understood the price of breaking it.

The Luo Clan’s Great Elder’s bloodline would be severed, and as the violator, he would pay with his life.

Luo Zongyuan had arrived with a death wish, which was why he neither dodged nor resisted Luo Changping’s final backstab.

By that moment, Luo Changping had already been a man set on death.

Luo Changping quickly came to understand and spoke softly, “Was he afraid that if he fell into your hands, you’d extract the method to enter Zixuan Hall from him?”

“Most likely.”

Su Chengyu replied slowly.

He wasn’t Luo Zongyuan; he could never truly know what Luo Zongyuan was thinking.

But there was one thing Su Chengyu could confirm: Luo Zongyuan’s loyalty was not to the Luo Clan.

Instead, it was to that exalted tribe bearing the Ancient Clan name, one with a transcendent status in this world, free to act recklessly.

“Standing above tens of thousands is never easy. Once you’ve lost that pinnacle, those privileges should no longer belong to you. Or perhaps…”

Su Chengyu spoke slowly, reflecting on the Luo Clan’s deeds, before continuing, “It was precisely because of the abuse of those undeserved privileges that the Luo Clan has fallen to this state.”

Luo Changping, standing to the side and listening to these remarks from afar, remained silent. He naturally understood what Su Chengyu was insinuating.

The Luo Clan that he and Xu Nanzhi spoke of would surely be vastly different from its former self.

Yet Luo Changping didn’t particularly care about such things. He wasn’t even overly concerned about whether the Martial God Bloodline could be passed down; what he cared about was whether the Luo Clan could continue to exist.

Even if, by that time, it bore no resemblance to the Luo Clan of the past.

“Elder Changping, the words I entrusted that young Martial Emperor woman to deliver to you—did she relay them all?”

Letting go of the matter of Luo Zongyuan, Su Chengyu lifted his head and addressed Luo Changping.

Luo Changping nodded and replied, “When that young female Martial Emperor met me, she appeared a bit nervous but was indeed very calm in handling the situation. She relayed everything clearly as instructed and has already gone to meet Lady Saintess as per your request.”

“Hmm…”

Su Chengyu responded with a faint hum and spoke no further, though the figure of Xu Nanzhi was already surfacing in his mind.

Su Chengyu had entrusted the young Martial Emperor woman with two messages. The first, of course, was for Luo Changping.

As preparations were being made to infiltrate Zixuan Hall, Luo Changping would serve as a significant ally, and defeating Luo Zongyuan required an unconventional move to secure absolute victory.

The second person in question was Xu Nanzhi.

The Blood Covenant was far more complicated than merely serving as a constraint on the Luo Clan. Its existence deterred the Luo Clan from taking lightly any actions to harm or imprison him, forcing them to think twice.

Conversely, for Xu Nanzhi, as the other side of the Blood Covenant, she must have paid an incredibly steep price as well.

What Su Chengyu feared most was that the Blood Covenant had already compromised Xu Nanzhi’s mind; if her God’s Soul was damaged, that would be his greatest worry.

But if that wasn’t the case, then Su Chengyu had to shift her perspective, making her understand one thing: no matter what, he would never abandon his quest to leave.

“But Su Chengyu, even though the Immortal Pool is under siege, the Elder Council has chosen to hold steadfastly to Zixuan Hall just to ensure the blood sacrifice proceeds smoothly. If you storm in now, aren’t you walking into a trap?”

“Then force them out,” Su Chengyu replied calmly, lifting his gaze to look into the distance.

It had been a long time since Bai Qiu and Long Ao Tian had departed. Given their speed of action, Su Chengyu believed they must be close to uniting the entirety of the Demon Clan by now.

With the previously scattered and chaotic Demon Clan now bound into a unified force, the Luo Clan could no longer respond as they had before, merely sending some ordinary disciples to deal with them.

“I originally intended to infiltrate Zixuan Hall by relying on Luo Zongyuan. I would arrange enough external pressure to ensure my actions went much smoother. But I miscalculated. I did not anticipate that Luo Zongyuan’s pursuit of power and ambition would mean more to him than his very life.”

“So, what’s your plan now?”

“A frontal assault—shattering the entire Luo Clan’s defensive line. Once the Mountain-Protecting Great Formation around the Immortal Pool is broken, I’ll naturally be able to charge into Zixuan Hall.”

Constant skirmishes erupted outside the Immortal Pool, yet the Elder Council remained entrenched within, immovable as a mountain. The primary reason for this was the ancient Great Formation enveloping the entirety of the Immortal Pool.

Su Chengyu’s earlier reconnaissance around the area not only offered insights into the ongoing battle but also served to study the intricacies of this long-standing formation.

The formation, while exquisite, was not without flaws. Su Chengyu had committed the locations of all eighty-one Array Eyes to memory.

By himself, breaking these Array Eyes would be impossible. However, with Bai Qiu and Long Ao Tian rallying the Demon Clan’s unified strength, it was an entirely different matter.

Luo Changping quickly grasped Su Chengyu’s plan. After a brief silence, he said, “Then I’ll prepare to support you from the inside when the time comes.”

Su Chengyu raised his head, hesitated as though wanting to say something but ultimately remained silent, merely nodding to send Luo Changping off.

Once Luo Changping’s figure vanished, the voice of the Heaven-Mending Stone echoed within his Sea of Consciousness.

“You must know his chances of survival are slim. Why didn’t you try to stop him?”

“Could I stop him? If I’ve figured all this out, do you think he wouldn’t have? If he spoke up, it’s only because there’s something he still wants to do himself.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Don’t forget—it was his daughter who let those Xiao Tribe ancient exotic beasts in.”

“So, he’s returning to arrange an escape route?”

“Yes, but not for himself—for his daughter. Regardless of the battle’s outcome, his daughter will never be able to stay in the Luo Clan. He knows full well that neither the current Luo Clan nor the new Luo Clan I envision will have a place for someone as ungrateful as her. Sending her away is the only solution.”

“Hmph, so in the end, humans are all the same—claiming righteousness all while bending the rules when it comes to their own family.”

“Everyone has their selfish motives. Aren’t you and I the same? After all, this is what it means to be human.”

Su Chengyu sighed as he spoke, then withdrew his Sea of Consciousness, only to find the Heaven-Mending Stone had disappeared again.

The peculiar tension between the two did not ease after having survived together; instead, it had become even more inexplicably strange.
