Capítulo 1737: Chapter 1738 Heavenly Punishment Causes Trouble

“Of course, even though we have some minor disagreements on the details, isn’t it true that both your and my goals are the same?”

Han Xiaotian said with a smile to Su Chengyu. If Su Chengyu didn’t know that the man before him harbored clear murderous intent towards him, he would almost have the illusion that the man wanted to befriend him.

“It’s not about the goal, it’s about the final result we seek.”

Su Chengyu corrected him. Han Xiaotian shrugged indifferently, evidently not caring about the subtle difference in wording.

“Whether Xu Nanzhi lives or dies is not a big problem for me. On the contrary, I’m very willing to give some face to Su Saint Envoy, since after all, you are indeed the one who broke the deadlock of the Luo Clan. However, as you can see, it’s not that I don’t want to wait a moment, but all the Ancient Clan members are here. They have placed heavy bets to come to this place; they cannot afford to lose.”

“What do you mean?”

Jiang Mo spoke coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Han Xiaotian’s choice of words.

Xiao Ting beside him also did not speak, but his expression was somewhat unpleasant.

“Sorry, that’s my fault. I should say that no one wants any unexpected incidents.”

Han Xiaotian smiled apologetically. Jiang Mo snorted coldly and refrained from pursuing the matter further.

Su Chengyu watched all of this with indifferent eyes. He did not believe Han Xiaotian had simply used the wrong words unintentionally. The deliberate speech was clearly a form of provocation, being certain that the Ancient Clan members could do nothing against him.

Yet, Su Chengyu was not bothered to expose Han Xiaotian’s little games. He simply glanced at the Great Formation and said, “I can understand your concerns, but I can assure you that once Nan Zhi becomes aware of the Blood Covenant contact, she will definitely forcibly interrupt the entire ritual, just as I am willing to use my life to break the Blood Covenant. She would also wager her life to stop the entire ritual.”

Han Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders and did not speak, simply looking to the side, clearly intending to adhere to the stance he had just expressed and toss the issue to Jiang Mo and the others.

Understanding this, Jiang Mo directly said, “I can trust your assurance, but how can I trust that girl named Xu Nanzhi can accomplish all this?”

“Yes, even if she regains her self-awareness at this moment, what if she still cannot find a way out? Isn’t Su Saint Envoy taking the path of seeking death with the help of this Luo Clan Elder?”

Xiao Ting and Jiang Mo both immediately hit the key point. Faced with this question, Su Chengyu did not answer immediately but glanced at Luo Changping.

However, Luo Changping only shook his head slightly, as he had said before, he had no confidence in handling this matter. Otherwise, he would have tried to speak before Su Chengyu regained consciousness.

After Su Chengyu exhaled heavily, he said, “You don’t have to worry about this. I know the methods of bloodline continuation vary among the clans but should have many common aspects, right?”

Jiang Mo squinted his eyes and confronted this sensitive question from Su Chengyu by asking instead, “What does the Heavenly Balance Saint Envoy want to ask? Please speak directly, but we cannot guarantee that we will share all our knowledge.”

Su Chengyu smiled, “Rest assured, I have no intention to probe into how your clans carry on their bloodlines. I simply wanted to say that, as members of your Elder Council, you must know that the lineage transmission ritual must proceed in several steps, correct? Specifically, I can’t guarantee the pre-steps, but you should understand that in the Luo Clan’s mode, there won’t be any effect on the Luo Clan members until the final step, Sea Entering River.”

Jiang Mo exchanged a glance with Xiao Ting, receiving an affirmative answer from the other’s eyes before speaking.

“Indeed, the Luo Clan’s method of transmission is considered the most inferior, yet this step, Sea Entering River, is still used by quite a few Ancient Clans.”

Not mentioning who might use it, it had even a tone suggesting exclusion. Su Chengyu saw through the cunning schemes in these old foxes’ words but did not bother to argue, continuing.

“Currently, the entire ritual is still in its first step. As long as you ensure that no action is taken before the second step begins, I won’t have any conflict with you.”

“What if it reaches the third step?”

The one who asked was Han Xiaotian.

“I won’t let the ritual proceed to that point.”

Su Chengyu resolutely answered, giving everyone a heavy assurance. He turned and looked at the ritual formation that was still proceeding steadily.

“If the ritual shows signs of entering the third step, I will be the first to thoroughly destroy this Great Formation, even before any of you.”

“Really?”

Jiang Mo spoke uncertainly.

Su Chengyu looked up at Jiang Mo calmly and said, “Sea Entering River means distributing the fully activated Divine Soul Divine Bone to all fellow tribe members, at the cost being the life of the one sacrificed. You are aware of the situation, and so am I.”

Jiang Mo and others showed a hint of surprise in their eyes, then glanced at Luo Changping from afar, evidently believing that these things were told to Su Chengyu by Luo Changping.

Yet, unbeknownst to them, Luo Changping was even more shocked internally, only he knew very clearly that he hadn’t told Su Chengyu anything about these matters.

He was puzzled at how Su Chengyu could be so aware of these details after understanding the three-step ritual; yet, facing the eyes of several Ancient Clan Elders, Luo Changping could only feign calmness, not wanting to hinder Su Chengyu at this critical moment.

Han Xiaotian saw that both sides of the negotiation were momentarily silent, then continued, “It seems everyone has reached consensus now?”

Jiang Mo did not speak, and seeing this, the other Ancient Clan Elders chose silence as well.

Su Chengyu’s proposed plan did not give them any reasons for refusal.

The only thing to mention was regarding Su Chengyu himself. In their view, this outsider, Su Chengyu, knew too many secrets about the Ancient Clans.

However, now was clearly not the time to make a move.

Seeing this, Han Xiaotian smiled and then looked at Su Chengyu, saying, “Now, Heavenly Balance Saint Envoy, I have an official matter to ask you.”

“Official matter?”

Upon hearing this term, Su Chengyu slightly frowned.

Han Xiaotian intentionally used this term, indicating that what he was about to say was on behalf of Xia Country. This made Su Chengyu have a very bad premonition, but with so many eyes watching, including a large number of the Heaven Punishment Department members, Su Chengyu had no power to refuse to respond.

“Speak directly.”

Upon hearing this, Han Xiaotian once again displayed a smile and said, “May I ask Heavenly Balance Saint Envoy, do you intend to personally escort her back to the capital, or should I handle it?”

With one sentence, Han Xiaotian made Su Chengyu’s face instantly turn cold, his undisguised killing intent locked onto Han Xiaotian as he spoke.

“What did you say? Say it again?”
